1:12:01
We've met before.
1:12:03
Elia Kazan introduced us years ago.
1:12:06
I don't know if you remember.
1:12:07
Why of course I remember, Art.
1:12:09
I was just a very unimportant starlet
then and you just won

1:12:12
the Pulitzer Prize
for "Death of a Salesman."

1:12:16
I'm prepping a new play, uh...
"A View From the Bridge."

1:12:21
We open next month at the Coronet.
1:12:23
Uh...perhaps you'd like to stop by
and watch a rehearsal with me sometime

1:12:30
maybe make a few suggestions.
1:12:36
They'll say,
"If Arthur Miller's interested in her,

1:12:38
she must be more intelligent
than we thought.

1:12:41
She must have hidden dimensions
we never even suspected."

1:12:44
They'll probably say,
1:12:45
"If Arthur Miller's interested in her,
he must be desperate to get laid."

1:12:49
Didn't you figure it out last time?.
1:12:51
So now, instead of
trying to cook spaghetti,

1:12:53
you're gonna try to make matzo balls...
1:12:55
They're harder, you idiot!
1:12:57
You're not meant for love
and marriage -- you're not built for it.

1:13:00
Stick with what you're good at.
1:13:01
Nothing if I listen to you!
1:13:04
He's old enough to be your father!
1:13:07
And then there's this voice in my head,
"Do this. Don't do that."

1:13:15
It never ever stops.
1:13:17
You know, some days...
1:13:18
Well, a lot of days actually --
like even today...

1:13:21
I uh, think I'm about one step away
1:13:24
from becoming a raving shit throwing
lunatic just like my mother

1:13:27
and my grandmother... You know?.
1:13:29
'Cause it's in my blood.
1:13:30
It's in my brain.
1:13:34
I...I don't...
I don't want to end up a zombie.

1:13:41
I don't...I don't want to end up
lead around by some nurse

1:13:45
Iike some kind of
a wind-up doll on wheels.

1:13:50
See, every morning I wake up
and I worry about whether

1:13:53
I'm gonna end up in some hospital,
1:13:56
strapped to my bed and crapping
in my clothes -- screaming gibberish.
