:20:00
I grabbed Roman aside.
Listen to me carefully, Roman.
:20:05
My ass ain't on the line.
My ass is out the door, and so are you.
:20:09
Now pick up the fucking pace
or we'll both end up in Warsaw.
:20:12
Bluhdorn and company weren't the
only ones screaming about Roman.
:20:16
Another power entered the scene.
:20:19
My secretary comes in
with an urgent message:
:20:22
"Frank Sinatra's on the horn. He must
speak with you." I picked the phone up.
:20:27
"I'm pulling Mia from your picture, Evans,
if she ain't finished by November 14.
:20:32
She's starting in my picture
on the 17. Got it straight?"
:20:35
His picture was The Detective, the
project that launched my producing career.
:20:39
Now it was about to sink it.
:20:41
Frank, you don't understand. We're
not gonna be finished till mid-February.
:20:45
"Then she's quitting.
Don't fuck around with me.
:20:49
We go back too far. She's my old lady,
she'll do as I tell her."
:20:52
Before I could say anything,
he hangs the phone up.
:20:55
Well, Frank didn't bark, he bit.
Bit Mia pretty good.
:21:01
"Stay in Rosemary's Baby, you go back
to Mia Farrow. Forget the name Sinatra!"
:21:06
Suddenly this little girl hysterically
runs into my office.
:21:10
"I love him, Bob. I love him so.
I don't wanna lose Frank.
:21:14
I'm gonna have to leave the movie."
:21:17
Mia, if you walk out in the middle of
this film, you'll never work again.
:21:21
"I don't care, I don't care.
I just love Frank."
:21:24
Well, if ever my experience with dames
came in handy, I mean actress dames...
:21:29
...this was the moment.
:21:31
I knew what makes the head of an actress
tick, and I finally found its purpose.
:21:37
Come with me, Mia,
I wanna show you something.
:21:40
We walked into the executive
screening room...
:21:42
...and I showed her a full hour of
Rosemary's Baby cut together.
:21:46
Dr. Hill? Dr. Hill, there's a plot.
:21:49
I know that sounds crazy, and you're
thinking, "This poor girl has flipped."
:21:54
But I haven't flipped, Dr. Hill.
:21:56
I swear by all the saints, I haven't.
:21:59
Mia, you're brilliant. I never
thought you had it in you.
