:11:00
Come in!
:11:02
Look, when I said you could
have the western territories,
I didn't mean all 1 1 states!
:11:08
I meant California, Oregon,
and what's that one on top?.
:11:11
Washington, yeah, yeah!
:11:13
W-- Oh, really?.
:11:15
Well, screw you!
:11:17
Hi. Can I help you?.
:11:20
Yes. I'm Ed Wood.
I'm here about directing the
Christine Jorgensen picture.
:11:23
[ Chuckling ]
Well, a couple of things have changed.
:11:26
It ain't gonna be the
Christine Jorgensen story no more.
:11:28
Goddam Variety had to print
the story before I got the rights.
:11:31
- Now that bitch is asking for the sky.
- Ah, you're not gonna make the movie.
:11:34
No, of course I'm gonna make
the picture. I already presold
Alabama and Oklahoma.
:11:39
Those repressed Okies, they go for
that twisted, perverted stuff.
:11:42
We'll just do it without the she-male.
We'll fictionalize it.
:11:45
- Is there a script?.
- Fuck no. But, there's a poster.
:11:52
It opens in nine weeks
in Tulsa.
:11:55
Well, Mr Weiss, look no further.
I'm your man.
:11:57
I work fast and I'm a deal.
I write and direct. And I'm good.
:12:01
I just did a play in Hollywood
and Victor Crowley himself
praised its realism.
:12:04
There's about 500 guys in this town
that can say the same thing.
:12:07
On the phone you said you had
some special qualifications?.
:12:16
Mr Weiss...
:12:19
I have never told anyone...
:12:21
what I'm about to tell you.
:12:23
But I really want
this job.
:12:28
I like to dress
in women's clothing.
:12:32
You're a fruit?.
:12:34
No, not at all. I love women.
Wearing their clothes makes me
feel closer to them.
:12:38
- You're not a fruit.
- No, I'm all man.
I even fought in W.W.. Two.
:12:42
Of course, I was wearing women's
undergarments under my uniform.
:12:45
Ya got to be kidding me.
:12:48
Confidentially, I even paratrooped
wearing a brassiere and panties.
:12:51
I tell ya, I wasn't scared
of being killed, but I was
terrified of getting wounded...
:12:53
and having the medics
discover my secret.
:12:56
- So you think this qualifies you
to make my movie?.
- Yes!
