:33:02
Can't you see...
:33:04
you're living out
the exact same pattern...
:33:07
your mother lived out
with your father?
:33:10
I am?
Pray tell.
:33:13
In some way,
you're trying to relive it,
:33:17
and in the process
of reliving it, correct it.
:33:21
As if that were possible.
Ha!
:33:25
-It don't say "Ha."
-I know it don't say "Ha." I added that.
:33:28
- What do ya mean you added that?
Are you allowed to do that?
- We're allowed to add things.
:33:31
- How could you add something?
You can't do that.
- You're allowed!
:33:34
- It's called ad-libbing.
- You can't do that!
:33:36
I can do that. What do you know? You
don't know nothin'. Shut up and read.
:33:40
- I think the whole thing stinks.
- I think you're a degenerate
zombie. Shut up and read!
:33:43
- You better shut up! Just shut up!
- You shut up and read.
:33:46
- You shut up!
- You're lucky you're Nick's girl.
:33:49
You're lucky
you're an idiot.
:33:51
What endeavors you...
to concoct a theory so tenuous?
:33:56
Mmm-mmm-mm.
:33:58
I sure pities the poor folks who gonna
have to pay to see this play.
:34:04
- What ya thinking?
- Oh, just about Eugene O'Neill
and Max Anderson, you know.
:34:08
Yeah. You've been rewriting all night
and it's only just the first day.
:34:11
- Is that a bad sign?
- No. I just think that
I might have made...
:34:14
the character of Sylvia Poston
a bit too antiseptic.
:34:16
- She's gotta have a sexual side to her.
- No.
:34:19
- I think she's the best female
character you've written in a long time.
- Says who?
:34:23
David, you know you always have
problems getting into the female mind.
:34:26
- I know that you think that.
- You've said so yourself before.
We've had this discussion.
:34:30
All your friends are men. You-- You've
always had problems writing for women.
:34:35
Witness your relationship
with your mother, your grandmother...
:34:38
- your two aunts, your sister--
- I think I try to factor that
into my work.
:34:41
But to be honest with you...
:34:43
at this moment, I don't think
you really understand my work at all.
:34:45
- Oh! Don't be so defensive.
- I'm not being defensive.
:34:47
Perhaps my opinions just aren't
intellectual enough for you.
Maybe they're just not--
:34:51
That's a horrible thing to say.
When you have a good idea,
I listen to it. I'm responsive.
:34:56
- In this case, I think you're
wrong. That's about it.
- When am I right?
:34:59
You're right about other things, but not
about Sylvia Poston and her sexuality.
