: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.
1:00:02
You just go ahead and make the best deal
you possibly can. Okay?
1:00:05
Then you'll do the picture?
1:00:09
What choice do I have?
1:00:12
- I'll get the car.
- All right, Bob.
1:00:17
You know, I'm really surprised
that she decided not to sue.
1:00:19
I was talking to a lawyer friend of mine
the other night.
1:00:22
He's with Meyers, Merton,
Miller and Galuzze.
1:00:24
He thought Miss Miles
had an excellent case.
1:00:26
She'd have no trouble at all
if she decided to sue Mr. Farmer.
1:00:31
Well, Gary, why don't you suggest
to Miss Miles that she discharge me...
1:00:35
...and get your friend to represent her?
1:00:38
He also mentioned that your firm
represents Capitol Films.
1:00:41
That must make it very hard
for you to remain impartial.
1:00:44
Are you suggesting that I might be inclined
to favor Capitol's interests?
1:00:48
- Yes.
- Herb.
1:00:51
- It is Gary, isn't it?
- Yes.
1:00:55
Tell me, have you suggested
any of these things to Sally?
1:00:58
- Not yet.
- Why not?
