Gary said, legally in any court...
:58:03
With all due respect to Gary,
he's very bright...
:58:05
...but he's your secretary, not your lawyer.
:58:08
You mean that Felix can just go out
and spend every single cent?
:58:11
I don't mean that.
You can take him to court.
:58:13
You can get an injunction
against him for your money.
:58:15
That'll be messy.
The press'll have a field day.
:58:18
You really want to go through
something like that?
:58:20
No, but I don't want
to lose $8 million, either.
:58:23
Sally, suppose the things that Felix wants
you to do make sense in today's market.
:58:28
Would you consider doing the film?
:58:32
- You mean, forget the money?
- No, I don't mean forget the money.
:58:35
Of course not forget the money.
:58:36
But for the sake of this discussion,
if it wasn't for just a cheap effect...
:58:40
...would you consider doing a nude scene,
or getting raped...
:58:43
...or whatever the hell it is
he wants you to do?
:58:47
Well, if it wasn't for cheap effect...
:58:49
I don't know. What do you think?
You're my agent.
:58:51
Well, dear, if I thought it was
a real ballsy part...
:58:55
...and the audience would believe you in it,
I certainly would have to consider it.
:58:59
But you're the first one to preach
my audience to me and my image.
:59:03
I'm the last person in the world who
would monkey around with your image.
:59:07
If I was certain, if I was absolutely
dead positive that you couldn't miss...
:59:12
...and incidentally,
turn a flop into a success...
:59:15
Sally, creative judgments
are not my department...
:59:18
...but I think you've got
a few important things to consider...
:59:21
...before you jump into
an $8 million lawsuit.
:59:25
Now, let me see if I can get this straight.
:59:27
I can sue, but at best
it would be expensive...
:59:32
...it would cause a lot of bad publicity
and there's a big chance that I would lose.
:59:37
On the other hand, I can do the film...
:59:40
...and please, God,
if Felix is right and it's a success...
:59:43
...then I would get my $8 million back,
plus half the profits?
:59:47
That's the least you would get.
:59:48
I think we can guarantee you
a deal better than that.
:59:52
Let's say 100 percent of the profits.
:59:55
I mean, what the hell is Felix going to do?
:59:59
I don't know about any of this.
