- Gloria Swanson.

Oh, that guy. Last week he said

he was Charles Foster Kane.

A week before that

it was Rhett Butler.

Why would they think I would kill

my own sister's husband?

I was in love with him.

- Griffin? Griffin.

- Malcolm McDowell, good to see you.

Listen. The next time

you want to badmouth me...

...have the courage

to do it to my face.

You guys are all the same.

- You love it there?

- I love it. It's wonderful.

You love your career, don't you?

What is it?

It was a complete disaster.

Look what happened in Heaven's Gate.

We both are concerned...

...about your career.

Where I live, I know how people

think and feel.

Montana will end you.

It ended Cimino in Heaven's Gate.

- Griffin Mill, hi. Andy Civella.

- Andy, how are you?

I've got Andie MacDowell sitting over

here. You know her. She's so hot.

- Come over and meet her.

- Still living in New York?

I couldn't live here.

I'm allergic to happiness.

Andie, it's good to see you again.

How are the kids?

Great, thanks.

He's wonderful, thank you.

You geniuses know each other.

Tom Oakley.

- Yes, Hi, Tom.

- How are you?

- Funny. I just saw Malcolm McDowell.

- Really?

Roddy McDowall is related

to a cousin of my brother-in-law.

Well, I'm not related

to either one of them.

If I write it, I direct it.

The last three pictures you directed

were bombs!

Thank you for the drink.

I've got to go.

You've got to go?

We'll walk you to the car.

No, it's okay.

Don't worry about it.

We'd like to buy you a drink.

I can't. I'm meeting someone.

Business.

- We should tell him about Habeas Corpus.

- Of course, but he's a busy man.

- Is there anyone waiting for me?

- No one's asked.

I'm expecting someone.

I'll be out by the pool.

But he'll get back to us.

Right, Griffin?

Oh, sorry.

- Jesus, Andy, it's you.

- Of course it's me.

I can't ask you to join me.

I told you. I'm meeting somebody.

Yeah. You're meeting me.

We got some big business.

You? You?

- Why not me?

- You think this is f***ing funny?

What are you talking about?

Wouldn't she make a great Nora? I'd love

to write another Doll's House for her.

Did you meet Tom Oakley?

- Yes. You mean you didn't call me?

- No, I didn't call you.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Listen, I really am meeting somebody.

There's no way I can hear a pitch

right now. Call me tomorrow.

No, I can't do it tomorrow. I've got

a meeting at Paramount and Universal.

Congratulations.

- If you don't hear it now, you'll lose.

- Then I lose it.

It'll take 20 seconds.

When your friend gets here...

- What friend?

- Whoever you're gonna meet.

Twenty-five words or less.

Absolutely. You sit here, Tom.

Go.
