:17:00
Look at me.
:17:01
A writer in the room,
:17:03
and I'm asking Lou
about the goddamn story.
:17:06
Which is it, Bart?
:17:08
Orphan?
Dame?
:17:13
Both maybe?
:17:19
Maybe we should do a treatment.
:17:21
Hell!
Let Bart take a crack at it.
:17:24
He'll get into the swing of things
:17:27
or I don't know writers.
:17:29
Let's make it a dame.
Keep it simple.
:17:31
The important thing
:17:33
is we all want it to have
that Barton Fink feeling.
:17:36
We all have that feeling,
:17:38
but since you're Barton Fink,
:17:40
I'm assuming you have it in spades.
:17:42
I like you.
:17:43
If all my writers
were like you,
:17:45
I wouldn't have
to get involved.
:17:47
Have something
by the end of the week.
:17:53
I heard about your show,
by the way.
:17:56
My man in New York saw it.
:17:59
Says it's damn moving,
a little fruity,
:18:01
but I guess you know
what you're doing.
:18:04
Thanks for your heart.
:18:05
We need more heart
in motion pictures.
:18:08
We're all expecting great things.
