:36:04
Time was we made more money
at the box office than video sales.
:36:08
Now the big push we give a film
for theatrical release...
:36:11
is really just a prelude
to making it a large hit...
:36:15
in your
over-the-counter sales.
:36:17
[Cheering]
:36:23
Boy, did they love you,
you know.
:36:25
I thought they
were gonna lift you up
on their shoulders...
:36:29
and carry you
around the room.
:36:32
I just told
the truth.
:36:35
Hi.
:36:37
- You're drunk.
- Oh, a little.
:36:40
- A little?
- Okay, a lot.
:36:42
Definitely.
:36:44
You know, it's not easy
sitting through three hours
of pure adulation.
:36:48
Frankly, I'm telling you,
I don't know how you can do it.
:36:51
Well,you don't wanna
rob 'em of the opportunity
of,you know...
:36:54
demonstrating
their gratitude.
:36:56
Well, no wonder we both
have to drink so much
at these affairs.
:37:01
You know,
if I wasn't a little drunk,
I wouldn't bring this up.
:37:05
- Bring what up?
- The dailies.
:37:07
- What dailies?
- Val's dailies.
:37:09
- The City That Never Sleeps.
- Well, I'm hopeful,you know?
:37:14
You can't ever judge
a film by the dailies.
:37:16
It's just a bunch
of little bits and pieces
out of sequence.
:37:20
You really have to wait
until the whole thing's cut...
:37:21
Well, I was
very disappointed.
:37:23
- You sawthem?
- That's just between us?
:37:26
- How?
- I was somewhat disappointed.
:37:28
I can't believe you.
I can't... He trusted you.
:37:31
Honey, I didn't get
to run a studio...
:37:33
by kowtowing to
the temperamental demands...
:37:35
of every director
who thinks he's Orson Welles.
:37:38
But you gave him your word
that you were not gonna do that.
:37:41
Honey, unless this guy has
some vision of how to cut
this thing in his head...
:37:45
- we're on some very
shaky ground here.
- Well, I disagree.
:37:48
I disagree. I-I-I...
You know what?
:37:51
- I think that the dallies are...
- The dailies are what?
:37:53
Nothing makes sense.
:37:55
The angles,
the performances, the coverage.
:37:57
- There is no coverage.
- Well, I trust his instinct.
:37:59
Honey, this was supposed to be
a nice, middle-of-the-road,
commercial picture. That's it.
