1:04:02
The studio always hated that.
1:04:05
Some of the scripts were so...
1:04:08
spirited.
1:04:13
Barton, look,
it's really just a formula.
1:04:18
You don't have to type
your soul into it.
1:04:20
We'll invent some names
and a new setting.
1:04:23
I'll help you.
It won't take any time at all.
1:04:25
I did it for Bill so many times.
1:04:27
You did what for Bill?
1:04:29
Well... this.
1:04:32
You wrote his scripts for him?
1:04:38
Well, the basic ideas
were frequently his.
1:04:43
You wrote Bill's scripts?
1:04:46
Jesus, you wrote his...
1:04:48
Well, what about before that?
1:04:50
Before what?
1:04:51
Before Bill came to Hollywood.
1:04:54
Bill was always the author,
so to speak.
1:04:57
What do you mean, "so to speak"?
1:05:00
Audrey, how long have you been his...
1:05:04
secretary?
1:05:05
Let's concentrate
on our little project.
1:05:08
I want to know how many
of Bill's books you wrote!
1:05:11
I want to know!
1:05:12
Barton, honestly...
1:05:17
Only the last couple.
1:05:19
Hah!
1:05:20
And my input was
mostly editorial, really,
1:05:24
after he had been drinking.
1:05:26
I'll bet.
1:05:27
Jesus, "the grand productive days"!
1:05:31
What a goddamn phony.
1:05:34
W.P. Mayhew--
1:05:35
William goddamn Phony Mayhew!
1:05:38
All his guff about escape!
1:05:40
I'll say he escaped!
1:05:45
We don't have much time.
1:05:51
It'll be fine.
1:05:53
Don't judge him, Barton.
1:05:58
Don't condescend to him.
