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.
1:17:00
Don't fuck with my distribution costs!
1:17:03
I'm making a lousy 215 per segment.
1:17:05
I'm already deficiting 25 grand a week
with Metro!
1:17:08
I'm paying William Morris 10 percent
off the top!
1:17:10
I'm giving this turkey ten thousand
per segment and five to this fruitcake.
1:17:12
And, Helen, don't start
no shit with me about a piece again.
1:17:15
I'm paying Metro 20 percent for all
foreign and Canadian distribution...
1:17:18
and that's after recoupment!
1:17:20
The Communist Party won't see a nickel
outta this show until syndication.
1:17:24
The Party's in for 7,500 a week
production expenses!
1:17:26
I'm not giving
this pseudo-insurrectionary a piece.
1:17:30
I won't give him script approval or
cut him in on my distribution charges.
1:17:34
You fucking fascist!
1:17:36
Did you see the film we made
of the San Marino jail breakout...
1:17:38
demonstrating the rising up of a
seminal prisoner class infrastructure?
1:17:41
You can blow the seminal prisoner class
infrastructure out your ass!
1:17:45
I'm not knocking down
my goddamn distribution charges!
1:17:49
Man, give her
the fucking overhead clause.
1:17:54
Who's gonna believe this?
1:17:58
Let's get back to page 22.
Five, small "a."
