:56:09
[ Laughing ]
:56:11
Zing! Bango!
:56:12
You're dead.
You're a corpse.
:56:13
You got me.
:56:15
Okay, go, go, you son of a gun.
:56:17
Yeah, Fink.
:56:19
[ Humming Yes, We Have No Bananas ]
:56:22
Come on, come on.
:56:25
What do you got for me?
:56:27
What the hell happened to your face?
:56:29
Nothing.
It's just a mosquito bite.
:56:31
There are no mosquitoes
in Los Angeles.
:56:34
Mosquitoes breed in swamps.
This is a desert.
:56:36
What do you got for me?
:56:37
Well, I--
:56:38
On the Beery picture, where are we?
:56:41
Well, I'm having a little trouble
getting started.
:56:43
Getting start--
Christ Jesus, started?
:56:45
You don't have anything yet?
:56:46
Well, not much.
:56:48
What the hell do you
think this is, Hamlet,
:56:50
Gone With the Wind,
Ruggles of Red Gap?
:56:52
It's a goddamn B picture--
:56:54
big men in tights--
you know the drill.
:56:56
I don't really understand that genre.
:56:58
Maybe that's the problem.
:57:00
Understand? Shit!
:57:01
You were going to consult
another writer on this.
:57:03
Well, I've talked to Bill Mayhew.
:57:05
Mayhew? Some help.
The guy's a souse.
:57:07
He's a great writer.
:57:08
A great souse!
:57:10
He's in pain
because he can't write.
:57:12
Souse! Souse!
:57:13
He manages to write his name
:57:15
on the back
of his paycheck every week.
:57:17
I thought no one cared
about this picture.
:57:20
You thought?
:57:21
I don't know
what the hell you said to Lipnick,
:57:24
but the son of a bitch likes you.
:57:26
He's taken a interest.
:57:29
Never make Lipnick like you.
:57:32
Never!
:57:33
I--I don't understand.
:57:34
Are you deaf?
He likes you.
:57:37
What the hell did you say to him?
:57:39
Nothing.
:57:40
Well, he's taken a interest.
:57:42
He'll make your life hell.
:57:44
Since I drew the short straw
:57:46
to supervise this turkey,
:57:47
he'll be all over me, too.
:57:49
Fat-ass son of a bitch called yesterday
:57:51
to ask how it's going.
:57:53
I said you were making progress.
:57:56
We were all very excited.
:57:57
I told him it was great.
