:13:00
and we've got it all
color-coded broken down...

:13:03
so everything from cast to props
to atmosphere, stunts--

:13:09
I think that Mark's idea of a film,
of this film...

:13:13
and Tom Beach's idea of a film
are just so different.

:13:17
Both of them are
knowledgeable filmmakers...

:13:20
but it's a different kind
of knowledge.

:13:22
One's more primeval
and one's more textbook.

:13:26
The location type, which would be
interior day/night, exterior night/day.

:13:32
At that point,
you gotta get a cameraman.

:13:34
You gotta get a sound recorder,
a boom operator...

:13:36
an assistant cameraman
to do the clap, like that.

:13:40
Then you want a couple others
on the sideline.

:13:42
As far as where Mark's film
stands now...

:13:47
I'm not really too sure.
:13:49
I know that
we kind of have--

:13:53
We sort of have had a breakdown
in communication lately.

:13:58
Thanks a lot though.
:14:02
You know what'd be really cool
is a cup of coffee.

:14:05
- Okay, I'll make some.
- Just so I can get out of this bed.

:14:09
You know how many phone calls
there are sitting there?

:14:11
- Oh, yeah.
- A lot.

:14:14
I'll put on the coffee.
:14:16
I'd like to sleep here all day,
but I can't.

:14:19
I gotta type up sheets and have them
copied for the meeting tonight.

:14:23
Man, I gotta get
some information across.

:14:29
There's no excuses.
:14:31
No one has ever paid admission
to see an excuse.

:14:35
No one has ever faced
a black screen that says:

:14:38
"If we had these set of circumstances,
we would've shot this scene...

:14:42
so please forgive us
and use your imagination."

:14:44
I've been to the movies hundreds
of times. That's never occurred.

:14:47
You know, it's like you're
the lone man on this--

:14:51
the lone captain
on this big-ass ocean liner...

:14:54
and it's like, "I need people
to cook the food, to run the motors.

:14:59
I need people to make sure that we don't
go into the rocks and so forth."
