:03:03
- Yes, Ruth.
- No way! God!
:03:05
What about him? He's great.
I know we could get him.
He'd be safe.
:03:08
We can put our foot
on his neck. Martin Ruth.
:03:11
That's true. Val hasn't worked
in a lot of years.
We could make a good deal.
:03:14
- All you have to do
is watch him like a hawk.
- We're gonna lose...
:03:17
We're gonna lose
a lot more with Val.
:03:20
I agree with Ellie.
I think he's the ideal director
for this project.
:03:24
- But we're not gonna use him.
Who needs trouble?
- Right.
:03:28
Besides, what makes you think
he'd want to work with us,
given all the personal baggage?
:03:31
I'm told that he's
in no position to be fussy.
:03:35
- [Wind Howling]
- I can't stand it here.
:03:38
What the hell am I doing
in Canada?
:03:40
Lori,
they got moose up here.
:03:42
Moose. Are moose carnivorous?
:03:45
My God!
How could you be homesick?
:03:47
You got there yesterday.
You're coming home tomorrow.
:03:50
Val? Val, Val, Val.
We're good to go here.
Waiting on you.
:03:54
Did my agent call?
Any word on that TV movie?
:03:56
The interracial abortion,
gene-splicing thing?
:03:59
I think the TV movie
decided to go
with peter Bogdanovich.
:04:03
Oh, th-th-that's great.
Th-Th-That's just great.
:04:07
You know, l-I love peter.
peter's a beautiful guy.
:04:13
- [Stammering]
God bless him. l, uh...
- Val!
:04:16
Val, the client wants
more overhead coverage
of the spray cans.
:04:18
One minute.
Lori, this is humiliating.
:04:22
l-I'm up here shooting
a deodorant commercial.
I got two Oscars.
:04:26
Up here, you don't
need Oscars. You need antlers.
:04:29
[Hal Chuckles]
Here's a funny script about two
kids in a college fraternity...
:04:34
who invent a machine
that can turn women
back into virgins again.
:04:37
It's very clever.
What's the matter?
:04:41
You know, when you asked me
to come out here for you,
you promised me...
:04:45
that I wasn't just going
to be one of those bright women
who-who finds properties...
:04:50
and goes to lunch 500 times
developing them,
and then never gets one made.
:04:54
Honey,
The City That Never Sleeps
is green-lit.
:04:56
- That's been your project
from day one.
- Yeah, sure.
:04:58
Until I suggest the director.
And then even though you admit
he'd be perfect for it...
