: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...
:05:03
- I get shot down.
- You didn't get shot down, honey.
:05:05
I know that
that's a risky choice,
but it's an inspired choice.
:05:07
I think you're
trying to help him
because you feel guilty.
:05:10
Guilty? Why should
I feel guilty? Because
I fell in love with you?
:05:13
I mean, God knows
I put enough years
in that marriage.
:05:17
- That's right. You did
absolutely nothing wrong.
- I know.
:05:20
I brought up his name
because... [Sighs]
:05:23
because he would give you
the best movie
for that script.
:05:25
- Nobody argued that.
- He's probably so angry
he won't even speak to you.
:05:28
And he's liable
to ruin the picture
just to get even with me.
:05:31
No. You're wrong about that.
I'm telling you, you're wrong.
He would be grateful.
:05:35
- He needs a comeback, and...
- Ellie, this is a very, very
expensive film.
:05:39
It's got solid
box-office potential.
:05:42
He can do it.
:05:45
You don't regret
leaving him, do you?
:05:49
You know, one day
you look up and you realize
that laughs are not enough.
:05:55
I can handle him, Hal.
:05:57
I just got tired
of having to all the time.
