:09:02
- The psychiatrist? It's a key role.
- What key role?
:09:05
- It's a small part. Key role!
- Who is this woman anyway?
:09:08
Olive Neal? I don't even know what
she looks like, much less can she act.
:09:12
He says she's the stuff
that stars are made of.
:09:15
That's 'cause he's in love with her.
And who is he anyway?
:09:18
- His name is Nick Valenti.
- How-How-- How do I know
that name? What's he do?
:09:22
- Ah, he's got his finger
in a number of pies.
- I don't like the sound of this.
:09:26
- Look, you wanna
get your play on or not?
- I gotta meet her first.
:09:29
- So you'll meet her.
- I'm conflicted.
:09:31
-You'll meet her. That's all I'm saying.
-The psychiatrist is not small.
:09:35
It's not the lead. It's-- It's a
small part. Who do you see in the lead?
:09:40
- I don't know.
- What about Helen Sinclair?
:09:43
Oh, sure. I mean, she'd be great.
But can we get her?
:09:47
Why can't we get her? She's been in
nothin' but flops the past three years.
:09:50
Yeah, but she's
a major actress.
:09:52
[ Chuckles ]
Was.
:09:54
She'd be great.
I mean, really, she's brilliant.
:09:57
- She possess the necessary fire.
For the part, she'd be great.
- You really think so?
:10:00
- I'm glad you think so.
- Think we can get her?
:10:03
- I sent the script
to her agent, Sidney Loomis.
- You did?
:10:07
- Did I do wrong? Did I do wrong?
- No, no.
:10:11
- Did I do wrong not checking
with you first?
- Not at all.
:10:13
- If so, I stand corrected. I mean that.
- No, really.
:10:16
- Helen Sinclair... really.
- Get it out.
:10:20
- She's great.
- Well, all we can do
is hope for the best.
:10:24
You must be joking!
:10:27
You want me to play some frumpy
housewife who gets dumped for a flapper?
:10:32
Don't you remember who I am?
Don't you know who you represent?
:10:36
- I'm Helen Sinclair!
- Definitely! You are
definitely Helen Sinclair.
:10:40
I look at you and I say Helen Sinclair!
But who better to play that role?
:10:45
- Under whose direction? Some novice!
- He's the author.
:10:48
- Of two flops.
- Julian says it was the directors
that messed up those projects.
:10:51
Julian Marx! I do plays put on
by Belasco or Sam Harris.
:10:57
Not some Yiddish pants salesman
turned producer.
