1:13:00
Hardly seems necessary in your case...
1:13:02
a writer,
a storyteller of your stature.
1:13:04
Give it to me
in bold strokes, Bart.
1:13:06
Give me the broad outlines.
1:13:08
I'm in the audience,
the lights go down,
1:13:10
Capitol logo comes up.
1:13:12
You're on, huh?
1:13:17
Yeah.
1:13:19
Uh... okay.
1:13:20
Huh?
1:13:23
Well, uh...
1:13:26
we... we fade in...
1:13:27
Uh-huh.
1:13:30
It's... It's a tenement building
on the Lower East Side.
1:13:33
Great!
He's poor, this wrestler.
1:13:35
He's had to struggle, huh?
1:13:39
And then...
1:13:40
Uh-huh?
1:13:41
Well, uh...
1:13:45
Can I be honest, Mr. Lipnick?
1:13:47
Can you?
Jesus, you damn well better be!
1:13:50
If I wasn't honest
in my business dealings...
1:13:52
Well, you can't always be honest,
1:13:54
not with the sharks
swimming around this town.
1:13:57
If I'd been totally honest,
1:13:58
I wouldn't be near this pool
1:14:00
unless I was cleaning it.
1:14:02
But that's no reason
for you not to be.
1:14:04
Honest, I mean.
Not cleaning the pool.
1:14:10
Oh.
1:14:12
Uh-huh.
1:14:20
To be honest, uh...
1:14:22
I'm never really comfortable
1:14:23
discussing work in progress.
1:14:25
I got it all worked out in my head,
1:14:28
but sometimes,
if you force it into words...
1:14:31
prematurely...
1:14:33
uh, the wrong words...
1:14:35
Well, your meaning changes,
1:14:36
and it changes in your own mind,
and you never get it back,
1:14:40
so I'd... I'd just as soon
not talk about it.
1:14:49
Mr. Fink... never mind me.
1:14:51
Never mind how long
I've been in pictures.
1:14:53
Mr. Lipnick's been in pictures
1:14:55
about since they was invented.
1:14:57
He practically invented them.
1:14:58
I think if he's interested
