:46:00
The dream sequence will become
erotic orgies.
:46:04
- Felix.
- It is perfect.
:46:06
It is a 20th century Sodom and Gomorrah...
:46:09
... and in the end,
God turns Gillian into saltpeter.
:46:14
- Felix, for God's sake.
- Think of it, David.
:46:17
Like the phoenix rising from the ashes,
Night Wind will become...
:46:21
... the greatest money-making film
in motion picture history.
:46:27
Today, a $30-million flop.
:46:29
Tomorrow, a $40-million
box office champion.
:46:34
- $40 million?
- A month to re-write.
:46:36
- Another $10 million.
- Maybe $11, no more.
:46:38
You expect me to put up $11 million...
:46:40
...for what is the worst
crap I have ever seen?
:46:42
- Crap?
- No.
:46:43
I'll tell you what you're going to do,
what you can do:
:46:46
You're going to re-cut Night Wind
exactly the way I tell you to cut it.
:46:49
Never.
:46:50
Then, by God,
if it's the last thing I do, I'll fix it...
:46:53
...so you never do another picture
in this town as long as you live.
:46:57
Oh, my God. Throw him off the lot.
:46:59
I'll have you arrested, maniac.
:47:01
Go on, have me arrested.
:47:04
I still own 150,000 shares of Capitol Films.
:47:08
Next month at the annual meeting...
:47:09
... we'll let the stockholders decide
who is the maniac.
:47:13
You think, when the stockholders hear you
cost the company $30 million plus prints...
:47:17
Me, personally?
:47:18
It's your film. A Felix Farmer production.
:47:21
And who okayed the script and budget?
:47:24
Who's responsible
for going $12 million over budget?
:47:26
I went up to your office,
put a gun to your head, and said:
:47:29
"Give me $12 million
or I'll blow your brains out?"
:47:32
You think I wanted to spend
the extra $12 million?
:47:34
In a way, you did do that.
It's your fault we fell behind schedule.
:47:37
Then why didn't you fire me?
:47:39
He didn't fire you because
he's a decent human being, that's why.
:47:42
Fire me, he's got no fall guy.
:47:44
Felix, you're finished. You're through.
:47:48
Contract or no contract...
:47:49
...I am going to cut your picture
and you can go ahead and sue.
:47:54
Go ahead.
:47:56
Cutting won't help.
:47:59
If you won't let me reshoot it, sell it to me.
