:20:00
David. Oh, my God!
You look horrible.
:20:03
Oh, I feel sick.
:20:05
Please, you'll wake the Finkelsteins.
You want an aspirin?
:20:09
- David. David.
- Oh, my God! My art! My work!
:20:14
- What's wrong with you?
- Do I want success that badly?
:20:17
- David. Come back to bed.
- The answer's yes. The answer's yes.
:20:21
- Please come back to bed.
- When offered to have my play
backed by a hoodlum, I said yes.
:20:25
- Please come back to bed.
- It's a deal with the devil,
and the penalty is...
:20:29
- his girlfriend plays a part.
- Who are you calling at 3:00 a.m.?
:20:33
[ David ] Hello, Julian? It's David.
Who do you see in the male lead?
:20:37
Oh, kid.
:20:39
[ Groans ]
It's 3:00 a.m.
:20:42
- I see Warner Purcell.
- Nah, too fat.
:20:45
You seen him lately?
Nah, the man's a compulsive eater.
:20:49
Doesn't matter.
I talked to his agent...
:20:51
and he's been on a new diet
for four months. He looks fine.
:20:53
I want him for Lieutenant Masters.
Then maybe I can live with all this.
:20:56
I can live with
these compromises.
:20:58
I'll have Warner Purcell
and Helen Sinclair, and then
I can live with that gun moll!
:21:03
No, not Warner, kid. No.
:21:05
I had him in Nuns Aplenty.
:21:08
He'll turn over a new leaf. Then he'll
get insecure; he'll start eating.
:21:12
By the time we get to Boston, he'll be
as big as my sister-in-law's ass.
:21:17
No! No more compromises!
It is my play, and I want him!
:21:21
I want him, and I want him,
and that's it. I'm not a whore!
:21:25
- David, David, David!
- [ Sighs ] I'm all right.
:21:28
[ Nick ] Olive starts rehearsal
for a show next week.
:21:31
- I want you to stay with her.
- [ Cheech ] Yeah.
:21:34
I want you to make sure
they treat her right up there.
:21:37
Those theater characters
I don't trust 'em.
:21:40
The show's costing me a bundle,
and I'm gonna get my money's worth.
:21:44
- She wants to be a star.
- Yeah. Yeah.
:21:47
- And I promised her.
- Mr. V., look, it's not
that I don't wanna do it--
:21:50
Cheech, I'm giving you
an order. What do you do?
:21:54
I know.
:21:56
[ David ]
Monday, September 10.
:21:59
Today rehearsals began,
and I've decided to keep a journal.
