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...

:12:01
but not very much.
:12:03
Bill, traditionally...
:12:08
is quite close to his money...
:12:11
and it's quite a challenge to pry
anything loose from him, money-wise.

:12:17
And, Mark, on the other hand...
:12:20
has, if anybody,
the ability to pry it loose.

:12:25
Let me show you something, William.
:12:33
- Talk to me. That's right.
- How about that?

:12:39
- She wants to be in your film.
- Oh, my gosh.

:12:46
Okay, we can start then.
:12:49
Tom, why don't you show us
what you got in the way of breakdown.

:12:54
My duties on Northwestern are those
of the production manager.

:12:58
I've gone over the script
on a scene-by-scene basis...
