:14:00
I'm so glad you could get here.
Are they still having
power failures?
:14:05
I read that there was
a terrible power failure
in California.
:14:09
- Can I get you some coffee?
- Coffee would be wonderful.
:14:11
Electricity.
That the electricity
was going off.
:14:14
Come on in.
:14:19
- Since when
do you wear suits?
- You have any milk?
:14:23
- You never wore suits.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, cream.
:14:26
Well, Val,
you look very good.
:14:29
I'm okay, you know.
I've been having
some back spasms...
:14:32
and I have
a torn rotator cuff,
and-and, my knee...
:14:37
You know, I got a hearing loss.
It's the oddest thing.
In my left ear...
:14:41
- What did you think
of the script?
- The script?
:14:45
You know, the movie
that it's based on
was a stupid little potboiler.
:14:50
He's asking about
the script.
:14:51
- But the rewrite is good.
- Thanks to Ellie.
She did all the work.
:14:55
Yeah, it's good.
You know, I think this
could make...
:14:58
a kind of tough, gritty,
New York, big city movie.
:15:02
You can't make any money
just in big cities.
:15:05
Well, I mean,
where do you think
this is going to play?
:15:08
It's not going to appeal
to farmers or shopping malls
in Biloxi.
:15:12
Oh, I completely disagree.
I think if this picture
is mounted properly...
:15:15
it's gonna have
universal appeal.
:15:17
Where do you think
the demographics are?
:15:19
The-The demographics?
:15:22
You mean why the country
got so stupid suddenly?
:15:26
- My theory's fast foods.
- [Chuckles]
:15:29
The age group.
The age group of this film.
Where do you see it?
:15:32
The age?
This will appeal to,
you know... to, uh...
:15:37
[Coughs]
adults and teenagers,
young adults...
:15:41
and,you know, kids,
adolescents, I think.
:15:45
Toddlers, I imagine.
Newborns.
:15:48
Our marketing research
shows this film has
wide appeal for both sexes.
:15:52
Yes, I agree
and then some, actually.
:15:56
- But, the script has
some holes in it.
- Val...
