:25:03
- He wasn't my lover yet.
- Bull! He was your lover.
What are you telling me?
:25:07
And I recognize the voice.
It's Hal Yeager
from Galaxie pictures.
:25:11
And I'm thinking to myself,
"Why is my wife talking
like that to Hal Yeager for?"
:25:13
They're making me a surprise
party. I thought they were
making me a surprise party.
:25:17
- Were they?
- No. She was having an affair
with Hal Yeager.
:25:20
- Follow the story.
Jesus, I can't believe this...
- I'm getting out of here.
:25:23
Wait a minute.
Where are you going?
We're discussing a movie.
:25:26
- No, I'm sorry. I just...
- What about...
:25:29
I'll be back and forth from L.A.
and I won't bother you...
:25:31
and I'll see to it that nobody
gets in your way creatively.
:25:33
- What about Denise Daniels
as the blackmailer?
- Possibly. If you like.
:25:36
I think she would be great.
You know what I mean?
Or Sarah Bedloe.
:25:39
She would be very interesting.
She... I pick up the phone
and she's talking...
:25:43
I'm going to order a corn beef
sandwich, she's talking to
her lover on the phone.
:25:45
- Look, I'll be back from L.A.
in two weeks...
- This is gonna be a fun picture.
:25:48
- It'll be great.
We're all very excited.
- I'm looking forward to it.
:25:51
About Hal Yeager. The word
on him is cross-dresser.
Check it out for me.
:25:55
I pick the phone up
and she...
:25:57
- Hal, we're off to
a really good start here.
- Tell me about it, honey.
:26:01
Val wants to use
a foreign cameraman, which
I think we should give him.
:26:06
He's got a real visual
concept of where he wants
to go with this thing.
:26:09
Um, now he's chosen Kow Chan,
a Chinese cameraman...
:26:13
done some stunning work,
mostly with the Red Army.
:26:18
[Speaking Chinese]
:26:27
He says he doesn't
like his hotel.
He much prefer the Sherry.
:26:31
Hal, listen. Val wants
to go with Elio Sebastian
as art director.
:26:35
Val says that Elio
really knows the streets
of New York.
:26:39
Every location in the script
is out there
waiting to be found.
:26:42
- This is great.
It saves us a fortune.
- With the exception of two:
:26:45
Times Square and Harlem.
I have to build Times Square
and Harlem.
:26:49
We can't build
Times Square and Harlem.
With all due respect.
:26:52
He wants to build
the Empire State Building?
No.
:26:56
-Just the first 20 stories.
- Absolutely not.
No, sweetheart.
:26:57
It's not gonna happen, okay?
Just tell him no.
It's not gonna happen.
