:13:10
Is that him?
:13:12
Is that Barton Fink?
:13:15
Let me at him.
:13:17
Let me put my arms
around this guy.
:13:19
Let me hug this guy.
:13:21
How the hell are ya?
:13:23
Good trip?
:13:24
My name's Jack Lipnick.
:13:26
You know that.
You read the papers.
:13:28
Lou treating you all right?
:13:29
What's the matter
with your face?
:13:32
What's the matter
with his face, Lou?
:13:34
It's not so bad.
:13:35
A mosquito in my room.
:13:37
Where'd we put him?
:13:39
I'm at the Earle.
:13:40
Never heard of it.
Let's move him.
:13:42
Stay at my place.
:13:44
I wanted a place a little less...
:13:45
Less Hollywood. Say it.
It's not a dirty word.
:13:48
Say whatever you want.
:13:50
The writer is king
at Capitol Pictures.
:13:52
Look at your paycheck.
:13:54
That's what
we think of writers.
:13:56
So, what kind of pictures
does he like?
:13:59
Mr. Fink hasn't given
a preference, Mr. Lipnick.
:14:01
So, how about it, Bart?
:14:03
Well, uh, to be honest,
:14:05
I don't go to the pictures much.
:14:08
That's okay.
:14:09
You probably
walked in here
:14:11
thinking that was going
to be a handicap,
:14:13
thinking we wanted people
who knew something about the medium,
:14:16
thinking there's technical
mumbo jumbo to learn.
:14:18
You were dead wrong.
:14:20
There's only one thing...
Can you tell a story?
:14:23
Can you make us laugh,
make us cry,
:14:25
make us want
to break out in song?
:14:28
That more than one thing?
:14:29
I run this dump, and I don't know
technical mumbo jumbo.
:14:32
Why do I run it?
:14:34
'Cause I got horse sense, showmanship!
:14:36
And also I'm bigger
and meaner and louder
:14:39
than any other kike
in this town.
:14:41
I don't mean my dick's
bigger than yours.
:14:44
It's not a sexual thing.
Coffee?
:14:49
Yes, thank you.
:14:50
Lou!
:14:58
Used to have shares
in the company,
