: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,
:15:01
ownership interest,
:15:02
got bought out...
muscled out.
:15:05
We keep him around.
He's got a family.
:15:08
Poor schmuck.
He's sensitive.
:15:09
Don't mention the old days.
Hell, say whatever you want.
:15:11
Look, barring a preference,
:15:13
you'll be working on
a wrestling picture... Wallace Beery.
:15:15
They say you know
the poetry of the street.
:15:18
That rules out
westerns, pirates,
:15:20
screwball, Bible, Roman...
:15:22
I'm not some guy
that thinks poetic is fruity.
:15:24
We're together on that.
:15:26
I'm from New York myself.
:15:28
Minsk... if you want
to go all the way back,
:15:31
which we won't
if you don't mind.
:15:33
People will say to you...
:15:35
Wallace Beery, wrestling...
it's a B picture.
:15:38
You tell them... bullshit!
:15:39
We don't make B pictures
here at Capitol.
:15:42
Let's put a stop
to that rumor right now.
:15:45

:15:48
[Shoes Squeak]
:15:49
Thanks, Lou.
:15:50
Join us.
Join us.
:15:52
We're talking about
the Wally Beery picture.
:15:54
Excellent picture.
:15:56
Got a treatment on it yet?
:15:58
We just bought the story.
