First, we have to play games,

then we have to see who wins.

We've been up for 24 hours.

And we're gonna get ourselves

the same as Stuart.

It's good for you. Sweat it all out.

- Wanna go home, Harry?

- No!

I'm never going home.

All right, then. Let's have a drink.

- Here's to Joe. Here's to Joe.

- Here's to Joe.

- Joe.

- Here's to Joe.

To Joe.

To Joe.

All right, next.

Charlie?

I'm not any Joe, but...

Maybe the original soul...

- I'm sorry.

- All right, next.

Okay. That was terrific. I'm sorry.

Gus, you broke the rules.

- Who's next?

- Gotta keep the rules. No talking.

- Tony, Tony's next.

- No, Gwen.

- Gwen.

- Gwen is next. Gwen, you go.

Look at me! That's better.

Don't know anymore.

Give her a hand. Let's have a drink.

Terrific. Terrific. Terrific.

Beautiful.

Okay.

- We're terrific.

- Terrific.

- Who's next?

- He's next.

No, no, ladies first.

Now, this is First World War.

Wonderful. Wonderful.

- All right.

- Leola.

- All right. Who's next?

- My Leola's next.

- Who's next? Who's next?

- No, no, ladies first. Leola.

Well, go ahead, John.

- Please. Please. John.

- Go, John.

Go, John.

I love it.

I love it.

I'd like to hear that one again.

Can I hear that one again?

Bill was all right, but...

I mean, I have nothing against Bill.

It's just that I have a song that means,

well, it takes life.

You'll see what I mean.

It means life.

Shut up, Gus, shut up.

Shut up, Gus!

Shut up, you moron.

Bravo!

Let's drink to that.

Come on...

You're an angel.

Okay. All right.

You're right. You know something?

She felt a rejection. Let's sit down.

Hold it here. Here, here, here.

- Violence is out.

- Sit down.

- Wait a minute...

- Violence is out.

This contest is not over.

And this contest is going to continue.

Look, just to show you

how wild this party is...

- Who threw that glass?

- Wait a minute.

Number one, who threw that glass?

I'm gonna leave here.

I'm gonna leave here.

Leola!

Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

Terrible. Terrible.

Unreal, unreal! No passion.

One more time. One more time.

Start it again.

Come on.

Gus, do you hear, Gus?

- Start it again, honestly.

- Honestly.

- Honestly, but I had too much beer.

- With soul. Soul.

- Soul?

- With soul.

- With passion.

- That's what Harry does all the time.

I don't believe he does that.

The man is insane!

- I'm telling you...

- From the beginning.

- Did you hear what he said?

- Worse.

- Did you hear what he said?

- Worse.

- What?

- Worse!

No feeling, he said.

- Vomit.

- No feeling.

A little feeling. A little feeling.

- I don't care. Loud, soft, do it.

- Go get her, Archie.

No, too cute! Too cute!

No cute! Real, from the heart!

John Cassavetes

John Nicholas Cassavetes (; December 9, 1929 – February 3, 1989) was a Greek-American actor, film director, and screenwriter. Cassavetes was a pioneer of American independent film, writing and directing over a dozen movies, which he partially self-financed, and pioneered the use of improvisation and a cinéma vérité style. He also acted in many Hollywood films, notably Rosemary's Baby (1968) and The Dirty Dozen (1967). He studied acting with Don Richardson, utilizing an alternative technique to method acting which privileged character over traditional narrative. His income from acting made it possible for him to direct his own films independently.Cassavetes was nominated for three separate Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actor for The Dirty Dozen (1967), Best Original Screenplay for Faces (1968) and Best Director for A Woman Under the Influence (1974). His children Nick Cassavetes, Zoe Cassavetes, and Xan Cassavetes are also filmmakers. more…
