Except never take drugs and go to AA
meetings for the rest of your life.

:19:07
Oh, l feel so much better.
:19:12
What can l say?
:19:13
The upshot of the whole thing is
that your being in the clinic...

:19:17
...made you a high risk to do a movie.
:19:19
They want me to do it.
l talked to the director.

:19:22
The director is not the problem.
lt's the insurance company.

:19:26
They won't cover you if you do drugs.
What can l say?

:19:29
l'm not doing any drugs.
:19:31
We know. These are businessmen...
:19:33
...with no knowledge
of creative personalities.

:19:36
Actors are not treated well.
And actresses are treated like...

:19:40
...l hate to use the word, but, shit.
:19:43
l remember when l was 1 5 years old.
:19:45
Mr. Mayer called me in for a meeting.
He was on the toilet.

:19:49
We had the meeting
with him on the toilet.

:19:52
You can be sure he wouldn't have done
that to John Garfield. Correct.

:19:56
She doesn't like me to talk.
:19:58
Doris, you better let
Uncle Marty handle this.

:20:01
She'll listen to you,
you're not her mother.

:20:03
Suzy, what can l say?
:20:05
Other actresses and actors...
:20:07
...who have not come to work
due to a drug or alcohol problem...

:20:11
...cost the insurance companies a lot
of money. Can you see their problem?

:20:15
l do see. l'm being punished.
:20:17
lf you'll let me finish,
you'll see this is not all bad news.

:20:21
Your Uncle Marty talked to
the insurance company this morning...

:20:26
...and they'll cover you...
:20:27
...if you stay with a '' responsible
party'' for the run of the film.

:20:32
What am l supposed to do?
:20:34
Go to a halfway house
for wayward SAG members?

:20:37
lf you calm down a bit,
you'll see it's not that bad.

:20:41
They said they'd cover you if you stay
with one or both of your parents.

:20:46
What can l say? l said
your father lives in New York.

:20:50
-So, what about Doris?
-Excuse me?

:20:52
She can't stay with her father.
He's worse than she is.

:20:55
-Not that you're bad.
-Stay with my mother?

:20:59
l'm not a teenager!
