:07:01
- so I could hold out
another three weeks, maybe.
- Your agent called.
:07:05
Hey, you know, if you'd
come up there with me,
it might have been different.
:07:09
Two people
in that sleeping bag
is a lot cozier than one.
:07:13
And who goes on for me
in the play?
:07:15
[Exasperated Sigh]
For God sakes,
it's an off-off-Broadway play.
:07:19
You're in the last stages.
Your understudy could have
gone on for you.
:07:23
Are you kidding? My understudy?
Right, and that will be
the one night...
:07:25
that Steven Spielberg
comes to see the play,
or Harvey Weinstein.
:07:28
They're not coming, believe me.
They're fasting.
:07:32
[Sighs]
I would've been so good
in that Shakespeare movie.
:07:34
- [Groans]
- What's... Oh!
What's that?
:07:37
These are pelts.
l-I traded with
a fur trapper between shots...
:07:42
so the trip wouldn't be
a total loss.
:07:45
- Your agent sent over that script.
- A script?
:07:49
Why didn't you tell me
about this?
:07:51
"The City That Never Sleeps."
:07:55
When did this come in?
:07:58
Well?
What did you think of it?
:08:01
You know, I thought
it had definite potential.
:08:05
It's got a,
you know, really good
Manhattan feel to it.
:08:09
You know, they're interested
in you directing.
:08:11
You know,
that's fine with me.
:08:15
You know,
this is the kind of material
that I can really do great.
:08:18
This is... This is...
You know, I can
make this script sing.
:08:21
This is New York.
It's nightclubs.
It's the skyline.
:08:25
- You want some water?
I'm very excited.
- Please. Me too.
:08:28
- Who wants me?
- Well, uh, we have
a little selling to do...
:08:31
but, uh,
Galaxie is making it.
:08:34
- Hal Yeager?
- Yes, that's right.
:08:36
- He stole my wife.
- Ellie is the one
who's pushing for you.
:08:40
Pass. I'm not gonna work
with Hal Yeager and Ellie.
:08:45
You gotta be kidding.
He's a philistine
and she's a quisling.
:08:48
- It's a religious conflict.
- Will you calm down.
:08:51
It's everything
you've been looking for.
:08:53
l... You know,
I'm frankly flabbergasted
they would even think of me.
:08:58
Well, they didn't
think of you. She did.
:08:59
And she has convinced Yeager
to come fly to New York
and take a meeting with you.
