1:42:34
Fink.
1:42:35
Samuel or Lillian Fink.
1:42:37
85 Fulton Street.
1:42:38
Or Uncle Maury.
1:42:40
I understand that,
but there's still no answer.
1:42:42
Mr. Fink?
1:42:43
Shall I check for trouble
on the line?
1:42:52
Fink.
1:42:54
Mr. Lipnick.
1:42:55
Colonel Lipnick...
if you don't mind.
1:42:58
Sit down.
1:42:59
I was commissioned yesterday
in the army reserve.
1:43:01
Henry Morgenthau arranged it.
Dear friend.
1:43:04
Congratulations.
1:43:06
It hasn't officially
gone through yet.
1:43:07
Had wardrobe whip this up.
1:43:08
Got to pull teeth
to get anything done.
1:43:10
Can understand
red tape in peacetime,
1:43:13
but now it's all-out warfare
against theJaps.
1:43:15
They'd love to see me
sit this one out.
1:43:17
Yes, sir.
They, uh...
1:43:20
Anyway, I had Lou
read your script for me.
1:43:23
I got to tell you, Fink...
1:43:26
it won't wash.
1:43:27
With all due respect,
1:43:28
I think it's
the best work I've done.
1:43:31
Don't gas me, Fink.
1:43:32
If your opinion mattered,
I'd let you run the studio.
1:43:36
The lunatics aren't going to run
this particular asylum.
1:43:38
Let's put a stop
to that rumor right now.
1:43:41
Yes, sir.
1:43:43
Had to call Beery this morning,
1:43:45
tell him we were pushing
the picture back.
1:43:47
After all I told him about quality,
1:43:49
about that Barton Fink feeling,
1:43:50
how disappointed we were.
1:43:52
Wally was heartbroken.
The man was devastated.
1:43:55
I didn't actually call him.
Lou did.
1:43:57
That's a fair description,
isn't it, Lou?
