Dr. Ballinger told me to get a little exercise.
:10:08
Everything he does seems
to be a denial of his condition.
:10:11
Dr. Ballinger, every time I've seen him,
:10:13
I get the impression that
he doesn't care whether he lives or dies.
:10:17
Yes, I know. But I think he cares a lot.
:10:20
OK, we'll limit his visitors
to no more than two.
:10:23
Joe, I wish you could have been there.
:10:25
9:30 this morning,
before a single review was out,
:10:28
the line at Cinema One was around the
block. The people know. The people know.
:10:34
This broke every first-day record.
It's a blockbuster. I mean a blockbuster.
:10:42
And those guys in California...
You wouldn't believe the telephone calls.
:10:46
"Congratulations," they say. "We're glad
you took your time. It was worth it. "
:10:51
They said "Every dollar that we put
in that film is up there on the screen. "
:10:56
I'm telling you, they're talking about
a $3.5 million advertising budget.
:11:00
3.5 million dollars! I'm sorry. Excuse me.
:11:04
Do you believe that? 3.5 million dollars. This
picture is gonna go right through the roof.
:11:09
Right through... the roof.
:11:13
Look at those reviews. See it?
We did it. Joe, we did it.
:11:18
Where are the bad ones?
:11:20
There are no bad ones.
:11:22
Josh...
:11:24
Well, there were a couple that
quibbled a little. I left them at the office.
:11:28
Josh, I want you to do me a favor -
don't show them to me.
:11:32
Never. How were the television reviews?
:11:35
I think we got Leslie Perry.
At the screening, she told me she loved it.
:11:39
Following Gideon's triumphant directorial
achievement with "50 Beautiful Girls, 50,"
:11:45
when he won every possible award,
:11:47
it would be nice to report that
Mr. Gideon's latest effort, "The Standup,"
:11:52
starring Davis Newman, was a better film.
:11:55
Oh, boy, here it comes.
:11:59
Joey, turn it off, please.
