Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber
BETTY: I read one of your stories
Wasn't it Scribner's
Some magazine
Title -
Something with windows
JOE: It was "Blind Windows"
If that's what you mean
BETTY: That's right
I really liked it
JOE: I'm all warm and runny inside
BETTY: Let me pitch it to Sheldrake
JOE: I may be broke
But I still have my pride
BETTY: Come on
Get off your high horse
Writers with pride don't live in L.A
Silence
Exile and cunning
Those are the only cards you can play
JOE: Sheldrake won't buy this story
He likes trash with fairy lights
Jesus, think of the effort
Trying to get him to heighten his sights
BETTY: Every movie's a circus
Can't we discuss this
Schwab's Thursday night?
JOE: What for?
Nothing will happen
I gotta go now
Fight the good fight
BETTY: What's the rush?
JOE: See those gorillas?
BETTY: Yes, what about them?
JOE: Do me a terrific favor
Keep them amused while I escape
BETTY: If you're at Schwab's on Thursday
JOE: Done. Look, those guys are after my car.
If I lose that in this town, it's like having my legs cut off
BETTY: Let's duck into the soundstage
FIRST FINANCEMAN: Come on, Gillis, give us the keys
BETTY: Shhh! Please be quiet, Mr. DeMille is shooting right over there
FIRST FINANCEMAN: So what?
BETTY: He's working on "Samson and Delilah"
They're doing a red-hot scene with Hedy Lamarr.
You want to stay and watch?
FIRST FINANCEMAN: No
SECOND FINANCEMAN: Relax, we got five minutes
