Good. Good, because I'd like you

to take a look at my work

and tell me what you think.

You see, I really respect

your opinion so much.

Well, it's odd,

because I was just gonna ask you

if you had anything

I could take a look at.

I know it's an imposition

but I'd be very grateful and you see,

I've read everything

that you've ever written.

Well, I'd be happy to do it. So, that's...

Well, thank you.

Well, then I... I'll get your coat.

Oh, and I hope you won't

be gentle with me.

- Gentle?

- I'm a serious writer.

You can really be tough.

No, I will be. No, I will be.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Do you want me to leave?

- Not really, but I'm late.

- Late at 6:
00 in the morning?

- Yes. I have an appointment.

Well, could I see you tomorrow night?

I'm busy tomorrow night.

- Because I'm leaving town the next day.

- Gee, I'm sorry.

So, if you have time,

let me know what you think,

and I'll send you a copy of the interview.

Some interview, huh?

Take a look sometime.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I understand.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Jack, dear,

do you remember Mr. Hardison?

Used to be at the First Presbyterian

Church, up the hill.

He's in Seattle now

at the big Plymouth church.

What brings you out here, Jack?

Just come out to see your mother?

Mr. Partlow, I just... I'm raising money

for this magazine that I write for.

- What?

- I say, I'm raising money

for this magazine that I write for!

- Magazine? What magazine?

- Yes, sir.

Well, it's called The Masses.

- The what?

- The Masses!

- The Masses.

- Masses.

Jack, do you remember

Mr. Potterson's sister?

The one with the bad arm?

- Is that religious?

- Oh, no, sir. No, sir.

Oh, you remember her, Jack.

Her name was Miriam.

She didn't eat meat.

Sounds religious.

You remember the fellow

that was courting her?

Sold spool thread.

Came from down around Eugene.

- Not religious, huh?

- No, sir.

- What was his name, Jack?

- I don't think I remember the name.

Well, I don't know about you people,

but I'm starved.

I don't know, Mrs. Partlow. I...

Jack, I heard you made a few people

a little unhappy

down at the Liberal Club last night.

Oh, Carl,

we're here to have a good time,

let's not go into that.

What was his name, Jack?

- Here you are!

- I can't...

Welcome. So happy...

- Hello, Jack.

- Hello.

Oh, you look wonderful.

Alma, this is Louise Trullinger.

Alma Boyle.

This is Ned Boyle and Jack Reed.

Jack, Louise is quite a progressive

in her own right.

Mr. Partlow.

- How do you do, Mr. Reed?

- How do you do?

Oh, Mr. Partlow, Mrs. Partlow,

this is Louise Trullinger.

- Pleased to meet you.

- Pleased to meet you.

Are you Paul Trullinger's wife?

Warren Beatty

Henry Warren Beatty (né Beaty; born March 30, 1937) is an American actor and filmmaker. He has been nominated for fourteen Academy Awards – four for Best Actor, four for Best Picture, two for Best Director, three for Original Screenplay, and one for Adapted Screenplay – winning Best Director for Reds (1981). Aside from Orson Welles for Citizen Kane, Beatty is the only person to have been nominated for acting in, directing, writing, and producing the same film, and he did so twice: first for Heaven Can Wait (with Buck Henry as co-director), and again with Reds. Eight of the films he has produced have earned 53 Academy nominations, and in 1999, he was awarded the Academy's highest honor, the Irving G. Thalberg Award. Beatty has been nominated for eighteen Golden Globe Awards, winning six, including the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award, which he was honored with in 2007. Among his Golden Globe-nominated films are Splendor in the Grass (1961), his screen debut, and Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Shampoo (1975), Heaven Can Wait (1978), Reds (1981), Dick Tracy (1990), Bugsy (1991), Bulworth (1998) and Rules Don't Apply (2016), all of which he also produced. Director and collaborator Arthur Penn described Beatty as "the perfect producer", adding, "He makes everyone demand the best of themselves. Warren stays with a picture through editing, mixing and scoring. He plain works harder than anyone else I have ever seen." more…
