I think perhaps it is better
if you move out.

1:15:08
Does she love you?
1:15:14
I'm not sure she's capable
of any real feelings.

1:15:18
She's television generation.
She learned life from Bugs Bunny.

1:15:22
The only reality she knows
comes to her from over the TV set.

1:15:27
She's very carefully devised a number
of scenarios for all of us to play...

1:15:31
like a movie of the week.
1:15:36
My God, look at us.
1:15:39
Here we are going through
the obligatory middle-of-act-two...

1:15:42
"scorned wife throws
peccant husband out" scene.

1:15:46
But don't worry,
I'll come back to you in the end.

1:15:49
All of her plot outlines have me
leaving her and coming back to you...

1:15:53
because the audience won't buy a
rejection of the happy American family.

1:16:00
She does have one script
in which I kill myself.

1:16:03
An adapted-for-television version
of "Anna Karenina"...

1:16:09
where she's Count Vronsky
and I'm Anna.

1:16:16
You're in for some dreadful grief.
1:16:21
I know.
1:16:23
The "Mao Tse-tung Hour"
went on the air March 14.

1:16:26
It received a 47 share.
1:16:28
The network promptly committed
to 15 shows with an option for 10 more.

1:16:31
There were the usual
contractual difficulties.

1:16:35
"Equal to 20 percent except that such
a percentage shall be 30 percent...

1:16:38
for 90 minutes
or longer television programs."

1:16:41
Have we settled
that sub-licensing thing?

1:16:44
We want a clear definition here.
1:16:47
"Gross proceeds should consist of
all funds the sub-licensee receives...

1:16:51
not merely the net amount remitted...
1:16:53
after payment to the sub-licensee
or distributor."

1:16:56
We're not sitting still for overhead
charges as a cost prior to distribution.
