I wish I had a theatre that

was only open when it rained.

Strasberg said you create

your opportunities.

- Uta said that.

- I don't care.

The point is, Sandy and I are raising

$8,000 to do Jeff's play in Syracuse.

We're going to do it.

You could do the same.

Look at Emily!

Look who's here.

You can do it in the Poconos.

You're sitting around saying,

"I can't work." Create your own...

Isn't she cute?

He loves children.

He really does.

You make it!

You find a way to raise it.

I was looking at you.

Terrific face. Are you an actress?

- Sometimes.

- You were in Dames At Sea!

- You saw that?

- Good work. Really!

You have a great singing voice.

I felt there was an aura

between us when I saw it.

I'm not kidding.

I don't know you, but I know you.

I'll tell you about yourself.

You like to run barefoot on the beach.

- Why are you so wired?

- It's my birthday. I'm out of work.

That's it? Nothing more?

Yeah, it hurts me. Be the last one

to take your coat tonight. We'll talk.

Fine. All right.

Will you? Serious?

Give me a hug.

Thank you for liking me.

I don't like it when people say...

..."I really dug your message, man."

Or, "I really dug your play, man.

I cried."

You know?

I like it when people come up to me...

...the next day...

...or a week later and they say...

..."I saw your play.

What happened?"

I've got it under control. I'll feed

my cats and be back in an hour.

I can't make it. My roommate

wants to work on the third act.

- You can't make it?

- He wants to work.

- Give me your phone number.

- I already did.

- I thought you changed it.

- Since an hour ago?

Good point.

Let me talk to him. I'll call you.

- Didn't anybody hear me?

- Guess not.

I've been trapped for half an hour.

What kind of a party is this?

God, you guys are having

a good time, huh?

Sorry.

I'll remember that if I ever

do a scene where I'm trapped.

- It's nice, Michael.

- Thanks.

Who is that?

- Mallory. She's married to John.

- Oh, yeah.

I did a thing about suicides

of the American Indian.

And nobody cared. Nobody showed.

And I think the American Indian

is as American...

...as John and Ethel Barrymore...

...and Donny and Marie Osmond.

I think it's really sad...

...but I think that, nowadays,

when people dream...

...they don't even dream in their

own country anymore.

And that's sick.

I had a good time.

I just didn't know half the people.

It was late, and I wanted it

to be a surprise.

I invited 10 people.

They all invited 10 people.

You met 40 new people.

They all liked you.

I heard nice things about you.

- Thanks, Jeff.

- Good night.

- Happy birthday.

- Thank you.

- One of the five people I knew.
