1:04:29
That worked nicely.
1:04:31
Thanks for the scoop.
That was incredible.
1:04:36
Celeste was never more moving.
She was brilliant. She stays.
1:04:42
I do know
she's not gonna work with us.
1:04:49
Got a minute?
1:04:51
- Mr. Barnes?
- Mr. Edwards...
1:04:54
Someone forget to tell me
about the meeting? I guess so.
1:04:57
Mr. Edwards,
what happened to Celeste was...
1:05:01
Brought on by a flagrant abuse
of prescription drugs.
1:05:03
Exactly. Thank you. We've had this
in the dark long enough, haven't we?
1:05:06
- What?
- She'll be fired by the end of day.
1:05:10
- Who said fired?
- He said.
1:05:11
- We can't tolerate this behavior.
- Tolerate!
1:05:15
Could you tolerate the
one billion dollars of free press...
1:05:18
we're gonna get because
of what happened down there today?
1:05:21
The phone's been ringing off the
hook. We'll be on the evening news.
1:05:25
The tabloids are going
to say "real-life soap opera."
1:05:29
Celeste is a bad-news buffet.
1:05:32
The people love her because she is
and always will be queen of misery.
1:05:39
She's turned unstable,
and we can't...
1:05:42
Unstable? I'm stable.
Who wants to watch me on television?
1:05:44
Unstable is her talent. She's been
through hell, and we're her family.
1:05:49
- In a crisis, we must support her.
- Yeah.
1:05:52
We have to love her.
1:05:54
We have to care about her.
1:05:56
And we have to milk it for every
drop of publicity we can get.
1:05:59
- I think it's a damn miracle.
- I'd say "amen."
