I went to poetry readings too.
That doesnt make me Carl Sandburg.
:09:05
Leo, you know me. Im non-political.
:09:08
Republicans, Democrats, Communists.
They all look alike to me.
:09:12
As legal counsel for this studio...
:09:15
...I strongly advise you
to watch what you say.
:09:21
Leo, put your agent hat on.
:09:23
-There must be an angle you can work.
-Im out of angles.
:09:27
Were in the middle of negotiating
my new contract.
:09:32
The studio suspended
negotiations this morning.
:09:36
Ive been blacklisted?
Ive been goddamn blacklisted?
:09:40
-There is no blacklist.
-Right. No blacklist.
:09:44
Studio just doesnt wanna know you
with this hanging over your head.
:09:50
I cant leave.
Were shooting in three weeks.
:09:54
Ashes to Ashes has been pulled.
:09:56
-You believe it?
-Im sorry, Peter.
:10:00
So, what does this mean?
I have to testify?
:10:04
Assuming they let you.
:10:05
The least they can do
is let me defend myself.
:10:09
The studio will lobby on your behalf.
Thats all I can promise you.
:10:14
No guarantees.
:10:19
-You up for testifying?
-What choice do I have?
:10:23
They feed on names.
Youll have to give them some.
:10:27
Im a writer.
Ill make up names if I have to.
:10:31
Were talking about my career,
my life.
:10:34
Christ, Ill give them anything
they want.
