00:07:39 It's like an American flag
00:07:41 It's draped all over her,
00:07:44 I don't know what.
00:07:46 Set up a meeting.
00:07:47 She's...

00:08:15 What are you doing?
00:08:16 What are you doing here?
00:08:18 You scared the living shit

00:18:03 This is equal.
00:18:05 Sweet'n low is pink.
00:18:07 See?

00:19:01 No judgment calls
00:19:05 What you think
00:19:07 What you feel
00:19:09 You are here for me.
00:19:11 You are here
00:19:14 and to serve my needs.

00:19:19 when I ask for a packet
00:19:24 that's what I want.
00:19:27 And it is
00:19:30 to see that I get
00:19:33 Am I clear?
00:19:37 Y-yes, sir.
00:19:40 I'm not trying to be cruel.
00:19:41 Because if you

00:20:19 Actually, hourly.
00:20:21 Look...every day
00:20:22 is something
00:20:24 Nothing is ever the same.
00:20:25 What he wants,
00:20:26 can change in a second.
00:20:28 The trick is to have
00:20:31 Anticipate.
00:20:32 Next time, bring back
00:20:34 Remember,
00:20:37 and serve his needs.
00:20:40 Come on.
00:20:42 Protect his interests
00:20:44 Ok, but that's crazy.

00:20:52 No rules here.
00:20:54 This ain't
00:20:56 for the Wall Street
00:20:58 This is...
00:20:59 show business.
00:21:03 Punching below the belt
00:21:08 it is rewarded.
00:21:10 So in this,
00:21:13 you gotta
00:21:15 What is it

00:28:14 That's the only way it sticks, Dawn.
00:28:17 You did say "hold

00:28:22 to intrude
00:28:31 Mm-hmm.
00:28:33 Find Cyrus, find Stella.

00:28:42 Let me think about it,
00:28:43 and, um...
00:28:47 Buddy Ackerman's office calling.
00:28:51 As I was saying--
00:28:53 about that little
00:28:54 why don't you let
00:28:56 How about lunch?
00:28:57 Thank you, but
00:29:01 Look, I'm gonna be
00:29:03 As much as I hate it,
00:29:05 I need my calls
00:29:07 onto his phone sheet.
00:29:08 to go home with him
00:29:10 In short,
00:29:12 See what I'm saying?
00:29:14 I don't want
00:29:16 over a parking spot,
00:29:19 so why don't we
00:29:22 Hey, how about lunch?
00:29:24 Well...
00:29:27 I'm not allowed
00:29:29 Um...Buddy...doesn't
00:29:33 Fine. Drinks it is.
00:29:36 Call me when you're done tonight.
00:29:39 Tonight?
00:29:40 That's all right with you,
00:29:44 Oh, yeah.
00:29:45 It just seems that a woman
00:29:50 and as pleasant-natured
00:29:54 would be booked up
00:29:57 Well, guess what.
00:30:01 You know what?
00:30:04 You should talk to him
00:30:05 'Cause it really
00:30:06 like a schmuck.
00:30:20 Yeah, some tip.
00:30:22 for scaring me
00:30:23 The change Stella wants--
00:30:26 although I'm sure
00:30:28 Yeah, well,
00:30:29 Anyway, it turns out
00:30:31 that Cyrus' teenage
00:30:34 about how all of today's films
00:30:36 how there's nothing
00:30:39 So the old man bitched
00:30:41 and now we gotta go out
00:30:42 and find the next
00:30:45 you know, something for the kids.
00:30:47 You got anything?
00:30:50 Great. Send it to me.
00:30:55 Yeah, what?
00:30:56 Well, I wanted to talk to you
00:30:59 No apology necessary.
00:31:00 Everyone's allowed
00:31:02 You've used up yours.
00:31:04 Well, that's just it.
00:31:06 I don't feel
00:31:09 and...
00:31:11 Well, I would appreciate it
00:31:15 in front
00:31:18 Excuse me. What?
00:31:20 Uh...the--the yelling.
00:31:23 Uh...
00:31:29 Oh.
00:31:31 You...disapprove.
00:31:38 I'm sorry.
00:31:41 Did I...
00:31:44 did I hurt your feelings?
00:31:46 No. No, no.
00:31:49 Uh...I...
00:31:52 I just don't feel
00:31:55 It certainly doesn't help me,
00:31:57 well, I'm glad
00:31:59 Great. Great.
00:32:01 'Cause I've found that
00:32:06 properly if the lines
00:32:10 Right, right, yes.
00:32:12 So, in that case...
00:32:17 let's make
00:32:19 Ok, great, great.
00:32:22 I mean...
00:32:23 let's review.
00:32:25 What did I tell you
00:32:29 Your thoughts are nothing.
00:32:32 You are nothing.
00:32:34 And yet you have the nerve
00:32:36 to walk into my office
00:32:37 and tell me--
00:32:39 Please shut up.
00:32:40 At least allow me
00:32:42 of finishing
00:32:43 That's the very least
00:32:45 after I've had to endure
00:32:47 This is a bad time.
00:32:48 Who do you think you are,
00:32:51 Let me make this clear
00:32:52 And now try to follow me,
00:32:54 because I'm gonna be moving
00:32:55 in a kind of circular motion,
00:32:57 so if you pay attention,
00:33:00 You are nothing!
00:33:03 If you were
00:33:04 I wouldn't bother
00:33:05 My bath mat means
00:33:08 You see this?
00:33:10 This means more
00:33:13 And yet do you hear
00:33:15 when I do this?
00:33:16 These pencils,
00:33:18 These pens,
00:33:19 These paper clips,
00:33:21 You miserable
00:33:23 You don't like it here, leave!
00:33:24 There are thousands of people
00:33:25 who would kill for your spot!
00:33:26 Who would kill for
00:33:28 I could spit
00:33:30 who could do this job
00:33:31 This is the fast track
00:33:33 I don't see you breaking
00:33:34 Why can't you show
00:33:38 "I don't think the yelling
00:33:41 You gotta be a little more
00:33:43 You gotta be a man
00:33:53 "Talk to him about the yelling."
00:33:54 Thanks.
00:33:56 You gotta give
00:33:58 So, Guy,
00:34:00 Is your uncle Bob
00:34:02 Or are you just another
00:34:05 quick cars,
00:34:06 You hate me.
00:34:09 Y-you really hate me.
00:34:10 No, I'm just feeling
00:34:15 So, talk. Amuse me.
00:34:18 I'm a recent
00:34:21 with fairly disappointed
00:34:25 uh...who had hoped
00:34:28 would have been
00:34:29 Oh, you're a writer?
00:34:31 Yeah.
00:34:32 Why, then, pray tell,
00:34:33 are you fetching coffee
00:34:35 Fetching? I'm...
00:34:38 I'm not fetching.
00:34:40 He--he's one of the top studio
00:34:44 I'm his--his assistant.
00:34:45 So, basically, you're
00:34:47 with liberal amounts
00:34:49 Ok.
00:34:51 Well...
00:34:52 I've taken
00:34:54 character assassination
00:34:56 Would you please sit down?
00:34:58 Sit.
00:35:02 Look, if this time can be spent
00:35:05 to do anything else
00:35:07 to getting out while you
00:35:09 it is time well spent.
00:35:11 Let me ask you
00:35:13 Why do you want this?
00:35:16 I don't know.
00:35:19 that I have always
00:35:20 Oh, bullshit.
00:35:22 There are easier ways
00:35:25 Hey, I'll float you a bill
00:35:27 and give you a number
00:35:28 Why the movies?
00:35:29 Do you really want to know?
00:35:31 I really want to know.
00:35:32 Are you gonna form
00:35:34 No, I really want to know.
00:35:35 Do you really want to know?
00:35:36 I want to know.
00:35:38 Well, fine. Memories.
00:35:40 Memories?
00:35:42 Yes. All my favorite memories
00:35:46 For instance,
00:35:49 Summer of '88, Indiana Jones
00:35:51 My first car, the summer
00:35:55 A fine Buddy Ackerman film,
00:35:57 What about your first kiss?
00:36:03 Uh...
00:36:05 Summer of 1979.
00:36:06 The fish
00:36:08 What was her name?
00:36:11 I don't remember.
00:36:13 But Gabe Kaplan's hair
00:36:16 The only white man
00:36:21 Wow. A smile.
00:36:24 Maybe you don't hate me.
00:36:26 Wow.
00:36:27 Get over yourself.
00:36:29 Let me give you
00:36:32 If you want to make it
00:36:35 you don't have room
00:36:38 much less
00:36:39 Absolutely
00:36:41 Absolutely
00:36:47 Hi. This is Guy.
00:36:48 Leave me a message.
00:36:51 Michelle, stop it.
00:36:53 All right?
00:36:55 Guy, hey,
00:36:57 and say I think today's talk
00:37:00 at least for me,
00:37:02 Especially at this critical
00:37:05 Good thinking.
00:37:07 Anyway, tomorrow morning
00:37:09 I need you to stop off
00:37:10 and pick up
00:37:12 It's some pretty sensitive stuff,
00:37:16 Try not to screw up.
00:37:19 Don't fail me.
00:37:24 Sorry, Dawn.
00:37:27 So, dinner tonight.
00:37:30 Ok.

00:37:36 You're happy!
00:37:37 I hate that.
00:37:38 Get me packed up now.
00:37:41 I gotta go.
00:37:44 What services?
00:37:49 No one...yet.
00:37:50 It's Yom Kippur,
00:37:53 Oh. I--I didn't realize
00:37:56 It's jewish enough,
00:37:58 especially when the big
00:38:00 Besides, I feel a sudden
00:38:06 Marie call?
00:38:07 Marie?
00:38:09 She'll be at your place
00:38:11 Great, great.
00:38:16 Buddy.
00:38:18 Yeah.
00:38:19 I wanted to talk to you
00:38:23 Oh, yeah, she's got a great one,
00:38:24 doesn't she?
00:38:25 Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:28 No, a-actually I w--
00:38:30 about Dawn's project
00:38:33 Now...I think it has a lot
00:38:38 It's young, it's--it's hot.
00:38:40 And it could be exactly
00:38:42 and I was thinking we get
00:38:44 maybe...Penny Marshall.
00:38:47 What?! Shut up,
00:38:49 Avoid women directors.
00:38:52 Do you have any idea
00:38:53 to a 3-month shoot?
00:38:54 I mean, do I need
00:38:57 Ok, uh, well, what about Altman?
00:39:01 Altman? that hack
00:39:02 out of a paper bag.
00:39:03 You want to talk
00:39:05 think Attenborough,
00:39:06 think Lean.
00:39:12 Lean's dead.
00:39:13 No, he's not.
00:39:14 Don't you ever say that.
00:39:16 He's just...unavailable.
00:39:18 Did you get the stuff?
00:39:21 Oh, yes, the stuff.
00:39:22 I put it in the cabinet
00:39:24 It's in a brown paper bag.
00:39:25 No, no, no, no, no,
00:39:28 No, no, no.
00:39:31 Great. Great. File this.
00:39:35 Rogaine.
00:39:36 But you're not
00:39:38 Exactly. Anticipate.
00:39:41 All right, listen,
00:39:44 it's not a movie,
00:39:45 Even the title,
00:39:47 All those speeches
00:39:49 That is not what
00:39:51 much less pay to see.
00:39:53 we are in the business
00:39:55 people's dreams,
00:39:57 Besides, Cyrus has already

00:41:44 I have to work.
00:41:46 Please...try to understand.
00:41:49 I have to go.
00:41:50 Buddy Ackerman's office.
00:41:52 Oh, good. You're still there.
00:41:54 You gotta stick around
00:41:56 with Foster Kane

00:42:22 Well...
00:42:25 It's just that
00:42:28 I know, I know.
00:42:31 But they'll get better.
00:42:33 If you prove you can
00:42:36 if you work hard now,
00:42:39 You get to have some fun,
00:42:41 because
00:42:42 this job is
00:42:54 God, what do you want?
00:42:58 You sick, twisted fuck,
00:43:02 why are you doing this?
00:43:04 This is so cool.
00:43:07 I saw this in a movie once.
00:43:09 Matter of fact,
00:43:37 This isn't
00:43:40 This isn't gonna help
00:43:43 You're right.
00:43:46 But it makes me feel
00:44:06 Is this good?
00:44:07 This ought to loosen up
00:44:11 Let me ask your opinion.
00:44:13 What is the best
00:44:14 I mean...I mean,
00:44:17 and that kind of stuff,
00:44:19 it just puts 'em
00:44:22 Well, let's--let's--
00:44:24 Let's suppose somebody were
00:44:28 Just suppose.
00:44:31 Am I boring you?
00:44:33 I'm sorry.
00:44:35 What was it you...
00:44:39 "The personality
00:44:41 Ha ha ha!
00:44:44 That was funny.
00:44:45 Everybody laughed.
00:44:47 Ohh...well...
00:44:50 I don't want to bore you,
00:44:53 so let's get back to work.
00:44:58 Ahh, gotta be one
00:45:01 Every kitchen drawer
00:45:07 You know, it's funny.
00:45:09 I only dreamt
00:45:12 all those lonely nights
00:45:15 all those weekends,
00:45:17 playing out all these torture
00:45:22 Thinking about it
00:45:32 You can't imagine
00:45:38 Whatever you're
00:45:42 please don't.
00:45:44 Shh.
00:45:53 Paper cuts.
00:45:55 Now, they can be a bitch.
00:45:58 Occupational hazard,
00:46:01 But I'll bet it's been a while
00:46:05 Me?
00:46:07 I'm startin'
00:46:19 Ohh!
00:46:21 God.
00:46:26 Stings, doesn't it?
00:46:28 Well...
00:46:30 like I said,
00:46:33 Now, the ones that
00:46:38 Say "ahh."
00:46:39 Come on, don't!
00:46:40 You're only gonna make it
00:46:43 Forget about the shitty
00:46:48 The real pain in the ass
00:46:53 on your tongue.
00:46:55 No.
00:46:58 Aah!
00:47:05 Buddy Ackerman's office.
00:47:07 Hello, Mishka.
00:47:09 No, he's not in.
00:47:11 Mishka, Buddy is
00:47:17 Well, I'll tell you
00:47:18 Get your cute little butt
00:47:21 Ok.
00:47:22 Bye-bye.
00:47:30 This could be the biggest
00:47:33 real life,
00:47:36 I like it.
00:47:39 It was a great idea, bringing
00:47:41 I would have never thought of that.
00:47:43 you may not be a complete
00:47:46 Your ideas here
00:47:47 but I hate the title,
00:47:49 It's too depressing.
00:47:52 You think we're gonna be ready
00:47:55 Cyrus? Uh, well...
00:47:59 don't you think
00:48:00 for Stella
00:48:01 Stella? Fuck her!
00:48:03 We take this to Stella,
00:48:04 she's just gonna take
00:48:06 for all of our work.
00:48:08 It's kill or have your contract
00:48:11 We need to go
00:48:13 We need to go to Cyrus.
00:48:15 But hold on a second.
00:48:17 Dawn's bringing
00:48:20 Remember, you passed.
00:48:22 You like Dawn,
00:48:25 You consummate the relationship?
00:48:27 Dawn? Well...I mean,
00:48:29 I don't give a fuck.
00:48:31 Shut up and listen.
00:48:33 Women...
00:48:35 they respond to one thing
00:48:37 Success. Now, this
00:48:40 This is scien--
00:48:42 This is scientific fact.
00:48:43 It is primitive instinct
00:48:45 for a woman like Dawn
00:48:47 who can best provide
00:48:49 for her wants. Now,
00:48:52 but...you are
00:48:57 Sure, I mean,
00:48:59 but, you know,
00:49:01 an assistant.
00:49:03 Dawn, on the other hand,
00:49:06 is a producer.
00:49:12 Her car phone bills
00:49:14 So just how long do you think
00:49:17 D-Dawn and I,
00:49:19 All right,
00:49:21 Because if you put
00:49:24 you're not going to be just
00:49:30 So...
00:49:32 I'm gonna give you
00:49:37 You...get to be
00:49:39 Dawn's white knight
00:49:41 in shining armor.
00:49:47 You.
00:49:50 You have to convince Dawn
00:49:52 to bring the project
00:49:56 Not to Stella.
00:49:58 To me.
00:49:59 Now, I could do it,
00:50:01 but there'd be
00:50:03 I just don't know
00:50:09 You do this thing...
00:50:12 you convince Dawn
00:50:18 and then you and I...
00:50:22 are going to run this place.
00:50:27 The both of us.
00:50:32 All right.
00:50:35 I--I'll do it.
00:50:38 He said
00:50:40 Look.
00:50:42 He gave me a beeper.
00:50:43 I think he--he's
00:50:45 I think he's really
00:50:48 Oh, God.
00:50:49 He's just got you
00:50:50 that's all.
00:50:52 Oh, you're doing it all wrong.
00:50:56 So...
00:50:58 Let me guess.
00:51:00 He gave you
00:51:03 "Win one for us,
00:51:06 Exactly what is it
00:51:09 Not much.
00:51:11 To find a new title,
00:51:14 you have to cancel your
00:51:16 Unbelievable.
00:51:19 Listen, all
00:51:20 is take credit
00:51:23 Now, I already
00:51:24 to go directly
00:51:25 Now, he can't do that
00:51:26 if you pitch it
00:51:28 I don't want to jeopardize
00:51:29 your relationship with Stella.
00:51:30 I'm sorry, but this is
00:51:32 Stop.
00:51:34 It's a sign of weakness.
00:51:37 Move.
00:51:41 Don't tell me what
00:51:44 I know the drill...
00:51:46 the politicking,
00:51:50 the spilling of coffee
00:51:52 in the race to kiss ass.
00:51:54 Oh. Actually,
00:51:57 I let--I let his coffee get cold,
00:52:01 But I learned
00:52:02 Never let Buddy's coffee
00:52:05 And...this?
00:52:08 It's a bagel stain.
00:52:09 Bagel stain?
00:52:10 Yeah. Well, I put too much
00:52:13 so he threw it at me.
00:52:15 But, again, I learned
00:52:18 Never put too much
00:52:21 Yeah. He really
00:52:24 I think
00:52:26 I will wait,
00:52:27 and I want
00:52:28 No. Bu--Buddy wants
00:52:31 Look, if this picture
00:52:34 we'll--we'll go make
00:52:36 we just have to deal
00:52:41 Do you hate me?
00:52:42 Is that it?
00:52:44 You do. You do.
00:52:47 Oh, God.
00:52:53 I just...
00:52:54 want you to make
00:52:59 I say we go
00:53:05 Ok...
00:53:07 but know this...
00:53:09 I have seen
00:53:11 You cannot get into bed with him
00:53:13 without getting fucked.
00:53:14 He plays
00:53:15 That's his drill.
00:53:17 Nobody wins unless
00:53:21 Yeah, well...
00:53:23 As long as
00:53:31 Loss.
00:53:33 They say that
00:53:36 real suffering...
00:53:38 is caused from loss.
00:53:41 Loss of family...
00:53:45 and loss of love.
00:53:48 Loss of the things
00:53:56 I like it.
00:53:59 It's a little different
00:54:02 Ok.
00:54:04 Now...
00:54:06 let's forget
00:54:07 we've been doing here
00:54:09 Let's--let's
00:54:11 uh, grand...
00:54:13 abbondante, if you will.
00:54:17 I'll be right back.
00:54:19 Don't go anywhere.
00:54:35 ?? Ta-da ??
00:54:40 So?
00:54:42 What do you think?
00:54:47 That's it?
00:54:49 That's all?
00:54:52 Look at yourself.
00:54:55 Look at your face.
00:54:57 Look at your
00:54:59 I mean...
00:55:01 There's no way
00:55:02 gonna help you
00:55:03 I'm tellin' you.
00:55:05 You are fucked up.

00:56:36 To hell with that.
00:56:37 It's minor details.
00:56:38 He's gonna be too excited
00:56:40 to worry about spelling.

01:06:22 Anyway, it was a scam--

01:07:26 Hated authority,
01:07:28 thought they
01:07:30 Look,

01:07:37 because there are
01:07:39 no fairy tale endings.
01:07:43 So before you run out
01:07:45 ask yourself...
