:39:02
- I'm honored.
- But it must have size...
:39:05
an important woman.
:39:08
- A Borgia. A Curie. You name it.
- Yes!
:39:11
- I'll dedicate myself to it.
- Oh, and while you're at it...
:39:14
if you could just have
a look at that scene in Act ll.
:39:18
If she succeeds in seducing
the Lieutenant instead of
being rejected a second time...
:39:22
- it could add some variation
to the character.
- Yes, that's a wonderful idea.
:39:27
The heart is "labyrinthinine..."
:39:30
a maze beset with brutal pitfalls
and mean obstacles.
:39:34
David, I can't say that line. It doesn't
make sense. It's stupid. I don't get it.
:39:39
- It's just a stylish way
of expressing a particular idea.
- Idea? What idea?
:39:43
The agony of love.
The difficulty of relating.
:39:45
- Why do you have to make it
so hard to say?
- Just say the line.
:39:47
- No, I can't say it.
It's a mouthful of "ghibberish."
- Gibberish!
:39:51
- I can't say it, and I will not say it.
- Just do the line.
:39:53
No! I'm not making
a fool of myself.
:39:55
[ Cheech ]
She's right, it stinks.
:39:57
Oh-ho, Jesus,
another party heard from.
:40:00
It's a stupid way of talkin',
and nobody talks like that.
:40:03
- I don't believe this is happening.
- Frankenstein is right.
:40:05
When I want your opinion,
I will ask for it.
:40:07
I can't stand to listen to this
garbage. Every day I sit back there...
:40:10
and I hear the same bullshit
over and over again.
:40:12
Then leave.
No one asked you here.
:40:14
[ Helen ]
Oh, David, take it easy.
:40:16
Where did you study play writing?
Was it Sing Sing?
:40:18
"A maze beset
by brutal pitfalls--"
:40:21
Hey, Olive, I memorized it,
and I'm tellin' ya...
:40:23
it comes to me all the time,
and it stinks on fuckin' hot ice!
:40:27
- That's it. I quit. This is crazy.
- [ Warner ] David.
:40:30
- Oh, please, I have a little hangover!
- I am famished.
:40:34
Everyone, everyone,
why don't we take lunch? An hour?
:40:37
- [ Mr. Woofles Barking ]
- You don't wanna
say the goddamned line...
:40:40
- don't say the goddamned line!
- Oh, look at you, Mr. Temperamental.
:40:43
[ Helen ] lf that rat on a leash
barks one more time--
:40:47
-He sounds melancholy. Is he melancholy?
-You can trim the line.
:40:50
- Because she can't handle it?
- Because you said yourself
you were having trouble with it.
:40:53
- So you agree with the gorilla?
- David, for Christ sake! It's one line!
:40:56
- It's not going to wreck the scene.
- That's not the point!
:40:58
Suddenly I'm taking suggestions from a
strong-arm man with an l.Q. of minus 50.
