Not on my phone bill, he doesn't.
:10:02
Take a motherfucking wild guess.
:10:05
Look here. A 186-minute call to
California on prime time? What is that?

:10:12
They're making a mockery
out of my words.

:10:14
This whole thing is turning
into a theatrical mockery. Understand?

:10:18
- No.
- Well, you will.

:10:20
I'll go in and read this fucker like
it should be read 'cause I've had it.

:10:24
You stupid fucking bitch! There's
a 186-fucking-minute phone call...

:10:30
at goddamn prime time.
:10:31
I paid the fucking bill!
:10:33
I'm calling you to let you know that
there is a cast meeting tomorrow night.

:10:38
Looks like there's a lot of work
we have to scrape together.

:10:41
Hopefully everything will collide,
and we'll make our deadline.

:10:46
I come to the airport all the time
when I want to work.

:10:49
There's no phones ringing,
there's no people talking to you.

:10:53
And if you're hungry,
it's like, tough shit.

:10:55
You can't stop and justify your inaction
of scriptwriting by making a pizza.

:11:01
You gotta be in this car.
You have no other choice.

:11:03
Why are we here? Working on
the third draft of Northwestern.

:11:08
I've got to get it so it's not
embarrassing to give out, you know?

:11:12
There's some corny dialogue
that'd make the pope weep...

:11:15
and I've got to resurrect that,
so to speak.

:11:18
"I feel so trapped. You know how long
we've been living together?

:11:21
Since high school.
She dropped out. I graduated.

:11:25
Her dad sold the house.
It's almost paid off."

:11:28
"Why don't you move out?
It's a free country."

:11:30
"I don't know. I guess it's just
one of those things."

:11:35
Who the hell in their right mind would
tell the world, "I'm gonna do this"?

:11:38
And then I think, "Man, I'm broke,
I gotta get gas tomorrow...

:11:43
and dude's talking about
making a feature film, shit."

:11:48
Now we're gonna talk about
high-level negotiations...

:11:50
'cause for the first time in your life,
you're gonna make a profit.

:11:53
Just like that.
:11:55
No, you haven't even started hardly.
:11:58
Well, not hardly.
You did start somewhat, yeah...
