1:19:02
Okay. I'll just stay
until she gets here.
1:19:07
Well, she's...
already here.
1:19:11
What?
1:19:14
Elaine...
1:19:17
Simone is not coming
over tonight
1:19:19
or any other night.
1:19:27
- I want you back, Elaine.
- I want you back, too.
1:19:32
Oh, Viktor!
1:19:34
Wait! Viktor!
1:19:35
This is crazy.
Who are we kidding?
1:19:38
I can't compete
with Simone.
1:19:40
- Well...
- What woman can?
1:19:43
I'd rather have you
than Simone.
1:19:45
- Believe me.
- Oh. That's so sweet.
1:19:49
No, but I can't
let you do that--
1:19:51
make that kind
of sacrifice.
1:19:53
- No. No.
- God, this is strange.
1:19:55
You know, I have stabbed
people in the back
1:19:56
and clawed and slept
my way to where I am.
1:19:59
- But--
- You have?
1:20:01
Well, it goes
with the territory.
1:20:03
But for some reason,
I can't betray Simone.
1:20:06
I can't. There's a goodness
to her, Viktor.
1:20:09
- No, there's nothing to her.
- Oh, Viktor.
1:20:14
You say that now,
but in the morning
1:20:16
- you would go back to her.
- No. No.
1:20:18
- You would, Viktor.
- She's gonna retire.
1:20:20
- She'll never work again.
- Her public will demand that she does.
1:20:24
- Not if I don't let her.
- You?
1:20:26
- Yeah.
- How can you stop her?
1:20:32
I'm gonna tell you
a secret now, Elaine.
1:20:42
Simone isn't
a real person.
1:20:50
I invented her.
1:20:54
Every actor
is an invention.
1:20:56
- Elaine--
- Please.
1:20:58
You're lucky she's loyal enough
to stay with you.
