:09:00
I kid him
about being late.
:09:02
- He's great. I love him.
- What's that?
:09:05
[Chinese]
:09:11
Uh, wh-wh-what
is his problem?
:09:13
- He's firing me.
- He's firing you?
Wh-Wh-Wh-Why?
:09:17
He says he cannot
work with me anymore.
He wants to find somebody else.
:09:20
I don't understand.
What's the problem?
:09:22
He thinks that something
must be getting lost
in his translation...
:09:24
and that his work
is coming out irrationally.
:09:27
Well, tell him
that I love the dailies.
:09:29
But, sir, to be honest,
they're not very lucid.
:09:32
Just tell him what
I tell you to tell him.
:09:34
[Chinese]
:09:36
[Chinese]
:09:44
He wants me off the set.
Otherwise, he won't work.
:09:46
With all
due respect to Mr. Chan,
we're on the clock here.
:09:48
It costs the studio
approximately $150,000
a day to shoot.
:09:51
Explain that to him, nicely.
:09:58
Wait. I got
a great idea.
:10:01
Why don't
we fire the cameraman
but keep the translator?
:10:04
Now, wait, wait.
Hold on a second, Val.
:10:06
Now, Ed's right,
and that's how it's gonna be.
:10:09
- I can't fire the translator.
- Why not?
:10:11
- Because I can't.
- [Chinese]
:10:20
- Oh! Ching.
- It's Chou.
:10:23
Chou, listen.
Who are we gonna get
to replace you?
:10:25
You have no idea who
the new translator will be...
:10:28
or even how long
before they find one.
:10:29
On the way over,
I was thinking about...
What about the caterer?
:10:32
Oh, no. He has no reason
to be on the set all the time.
:10:34
And you said
you wanted someone...
:10:36
who wouldn't be ruined
in the business
when they're caught.
:10:38
- If. I said "if."
- There really is no one.
:10:40
I was quite perfect
for the assignment.
:10:42
Ellie is gonna
be around here
till the end of the...
:10:46
And she does suspect
something. I th...
:10:51
Wait a minute.
:10:59
I just need you
for a private minute. Oh.
