Yes, I was playing hookey
every evening along in there.
1:15:29
It reminded me of being twelve,
sneaking out to see a gangster film.
1:15:35
This time, it wasn't to see a picture,
it was to try and write one.
1:15:40
That story Betty Schaefer dug up
1:15:42
kept going through my head
like a dozen locomotives.
1:15:47
So we started working on it,
nights when the studio was deserted,
1:15:52
up in her little cubby-hole of an office.
1:16:10
I got the funniest letter from Artie.
1:16:13
It's rained every day
since they got there.
1:16:16
They rewrote the whole picture
for rain and shot half.
1:16:20
Now the sun's out,
nobody knows when they'll get back.
1:16:23
- Good.
- Why good? I miss him terribly.
1:16:27
- I mean this good dialogue will play.
- It will?
1:16:30
Sure, especially with lots of music
drowning it out.
1:16:35
- Don't you sometimes hate yourself?
- Constantly.
1:16:39
In all seriousness, this is really good.
1:16:42
- It's fun writing with you.
- Oh, thanks.
1:16:59
- Who's Norma?
- Who's who?
