[ Featuring Tom Francis, Andrew Lloyd Webber ]
[BETTY]
I read one of your stories
Wasn't it Scribbner's? Some magazine
Titled something with windows
[JOE]
It was "Dark 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 LA
Silence, exile, and cunning
Those are the only cards you can play
[JOE]
Sheldrake won't buy the story
He likes trashy stereotypes
Jesus, think of the effort
Trying to get him to heighten his sight
[BETTY]
Every movie's a circus
Can't we discuss this? Schwab's Thursday night?
[JOE]
What for? Nothing will happen
I have to go now, fight the good fight
[BETTY]
What's the rush?
[JOE]
See those palookas?
[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, spoken]
Done
Those guys were after my car
If I lose out in this town, it's like having my legs cut off
[BETTY, spoken]
Let's duck into the soundstage
[REPO MAN 1]
Come on, Gillis, give us the keys
[REPO MAN 2]
Or I'll reshape your face
[BETTY, spoken]
Please be quiet, Mr. DeMille is shooting over there
[REPO MAN 1]
So what?
[BETTY, spoken]
They're doing a red hot scene, you wanna stay and watch?
[REPO MAN 1]
No
[REPO MAN 2]
I think we have five minutes
