: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.
:22:02
Perhaps my experience
will be of value to others...
:22:05
just as I pore over with relish
the notes of my idols:
Chekov and Strindberg.
:22:09
Rehearsals began promptly
at 10:00 a.m.
:22:13
Warner Purcell was first to arrive
full of bonhomie and good humor.
:22:17
- Good morning!
- Warner Purcell.
Hello, I'm David Shayne.
:22:20
- Oh, David, how marvelous
to meet you. Well done.
- Thank you.
:22:23
- It's a wonderful play.
Some lovely speeches.
- I'm honored you're doing it.
:22:26
- It's my pleasure.
- Our stage manager, Mitch.
:22:29
- Mitchell Sabine.
I'm here if you need anything.
- Mitchell, nice to meet you.
:22:31
- That's fine.
- And you're gonna be
in dressing room two.
:22:34
- Lovely.
- And this is my assistant, Lorna.
:22:36
- Pleased to meet you.
- Lorna, nice to meet you.
:22:39
We have coffee and Danish,
some smoked salmon.
:22:42
Um, Mitchell, would it be
frightfully tiresome if I just
had hot water and lemon?
:22:46
- Not at all.
- Thank you.
:22:48
- And of course you know Julian Marx.
- Oh, Julian, yes.
:22:51
- Our swords have crossed.
- Warner, you look wonderful.
:22:53
- And yourself.
- [ Woman Giggling ]
:22:56
[ David ] Eden Brent, who plays
the other woman, arrived second.
:22:59
She has
a wonderful vivacity.
