[ David ] September 17.
The first week is behind me now...
:35:06
and apart from a few minor incidents,
things seemed to go okay.
:35:10
There was that moment
between Helen and Eden.
:35:13
I can't do that speech if she's
going to be fidgeting around upstage!
:35:17
- Well, that's why I think
I should sit. I'll sit.
- Oh, God!
:35:19
Sylvia would never ask her to sit
in her own house. She despises her!
:35:23
She doesn't want me to sit. She doesn't
want me to stand. I guess I could squat.
:35:27
David, do you realize you're asking an
audience to believe that my husband...
:35:30
would leave me
for this woman?
:35:32
- Come along.
- Excuse me. Excuse me, but
I think it's made very clear...
:35:36
in the speech about erotic attraction,
why he does that.
:35:39
You fool! He's thinking of me
when he does that speech.
Don't you know anything?
:35:41
- Only the part about the liver spots.
- Listen.
:35:44
How long has it been since
you've had a real hemorrhage?
:35:48
David, I wonder if now would be a moment
to do my soliloquy from Act ll?
:35:52
- [ Crying ] Did you hear what she--
- Please. Aspirin!
:35:57
[ David ] All right, yes, why don't we?
And, Eden, just take five.
:36:01
- I need an aspirin!
- [ Crying Continues ]
:36:04
[ David ]
Mitch.
:36:07
[ David ] Then there was the time when
I tried to cut one of Olive's speeches.
:36:10
- I like that speech,
and I already got it memorized.
- But it's superfluous.
:36:15
- It's-- What is it?
- Well, I've overwritten it.
:36:17
We know how you feel
about Sylvia's breakdown when
you talk with the good doctor.
:36:22
So it's my fault.
Um, the performance is fine.
:36:25
But, um...
I like to say it.
:36:28
- We-- We don't need it.
- Hey!
:36:30
Are you tryin' to make
my part smaller?
:36:33
- No, no, every--
- My part's small enough as it is!
:36:36
Every play needs some cuts, and the size
of the role is not the important thing.
:36:40
Did you hear what she said? She doesn't
want her speech taken away from her!
:36:43
- Look, look, Mr. Cheech, I've about--
- I'd rather be shootin' crap myself...
:36:48
but Mr. V. told me that she's gotta
be up there a lot!
:36:53
- I wrote this play,
and I'm directing this play!
- I don't care.
:36:55
You wanna get slapped here or do
you want me to take you outside
and we'll straighten this out?
:36:59
It's up to you.
