It's been so long.
You know each other?
Never saw this man before
in my life.
Seriously, Mr. Prince,
a first-class script.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you very much.
We don't have too
much time, Mr. Prince.
That's why I asked you
to come right away.
We wanted
to meet you-
Your script's
a little long, Howard.
Four-and-a-half
minutes.
I'd like to suggest
cutting the kitchen scene.
I don't know how
you feel about that-
I think it's a mistake.
To me, the awkward scene
is the one
in the police station.
Don't you think?
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe not.
You know, it depends
on your definition of awkward.
Well, the police station
at least has some violence.
I just think it can be trimmed.
What do you think,
Mr. Prince?
What?
Yeah.
"Yeah," what?
You know, I think that, um...
I think that what-
There's a lot of facets here,
you know,
and it's...
I don't want to just answer
right off the top of my head,
you know,
because I don't think
that would be fair to you
or fair to the show.
Howard, I know it's not fun
to cut your script,
but television is television.
You decide and you cut.
I'm not the kind of producer
who disembowels
a writer's script.
I believe in the written word.
Absolutely.
I need it tomorrow morning.
But you be happy with it.
I really liked
your script a lot.
Oh, yeah?
Thank you very much.
Most of the stuff I read...
I mean, yours had substance.
It was about people.
Well, I feel if you're going
that, uh, you may as well
make them people.
Freedom Information Service.
Who's calling?
One moment, please.
Mr. Hampton
from the network.
Hennessy.
Yes, Tom.
Yes, of course.
Uh, first name:
Howard.You got an address on him?
Social Security number?
No, it's no trouble at all, Tom.
That's what
you're paying me for.
Yes, as a matter of fact,
I'm sure we'll work
something out.
I'll get back to you as soon
as I know anything about Prince.
You too, Tom.
Carry on.
Sorry, Mr. Brown.
Hecky.
Everybody calls me Hecky.
I'm a household name.
I can't guarantee
you anything, you understand,
but if you tell me the truth,
I might be able to help.
I'll tell you the truth.
I'll do anything.
The question is, Mr. Brown,
what have you done?
Nothing. I'm an actor.
Nothing?
Six years ago, I marched
in the May Day parade.
I bought a subscription
for the Daily Worker,
but I never read it,
not one word.
Right from the mailbox
to the garbage can.
I was only trying to get laid.
This girl, this communist girl,
she had a big ass-
I am not interested
in your sex life,
Mr. Brown.
