America's Sweethearts
America first fell in love with|Eddie Thomas and Gwen Harrison...
...in the box-office smash|Autumn with Greg and Peg.
They had the most celebrated marriage|in Hollywood.
Who could forget|how they hit one out of the park...
...in Requiem for an Outfielder?
You can't die, Mike. You can't.
Because I love you.
Justice never tasted so sweet...
...as in The Bench.
I didn't do it. I'm innocent.|Why won't anyone believe me?
-I object, Your Honour!|-You're out of order!
No, you are out of order sir!
I object to the way|my client has been treated.
I object to the fact that I've let|my professional judgment...
...become clouded by my feelings|for my client.
I object to the way the room seems to spin|whenever she walks into it.
I object, Your Honour,|because I love this woman.
Their love opened our eyes...
...in Sasha and the Optometrist.
Read from the top line, Sasha.
"l...
"...L-O-V-E...
"...Y-O...."
Oh.
You.
Dr. Martin!
Eddie Thomas and Gwen Harrison:
America's Sweethearts.
God, they were great. Made my job cake.
I did the press for all their movies, all nine.|Six did over $100 million.
They were on top of the world.
Then she blew it|by taking up with that Spaniard.
-Did you cut this yourself?|-No, Chad in marketing--
Always take credit.|That is survival rule number one.
Okay, I did it on my Mac.
Rule number two:
Don't take credit|until someone actually says they like what you did.It's not bad.
I hope this isn't too awkward for you.
-I'll never be able to fill your shoes.|-I know.
Kingman's in the screening room and he|wants you to look at something right now.
Please remind Mr. Kingman|that he fired me last week.
Then invite him, at his earliest|convenience, to kiss my undercarriage.
I think you'll wanna see this Lee.
-Hello, Dave.|-Lee.
-Thank you for coming.|-Why am I here?
I'm just confused. I mean, you did actually fire me|last week, so why am I here?
I brought you to see the new Weidmann film.
-Really?|-Yes.
Eddie and Gwen's last movie.|You know their movies better than anybody
Have you seen it? All of it? How is it?
Could you roll that, please.
I want you to be the first to see|what only I have seen. As a friend.
Something wrong?
-Did the film break?|-No.
The film is fine.|I think it's fine, wherever it is.
...of the studio's money...
...on 20 seconds...
...of titles.
That's all he sent me. The titles!
And a note.
"Dave, we could also do these in blue."
-We had to make a Hal Weidmann picture!|-He's won three Oscars. He's a genius.
There's only been one genius|in this business: Seor Wences!
A little lipstick, some hair and his hand!|He had an career for 85 years!
Do you remember?
"S'all right! S'all right!"|Don't talk to me about genius.
-Remember the crazy guy in the woods?|-Ted Kaczynski.
-Who? The guy at Fox?|-The Unabomber.
The Unabomber.|Remember he lived in that little cabin?
So?
Hal Weidmann bought that cabin|from the government...
...and had it moved onto his property.
That is where he edits his movies.
That is his little, twisted...
...sicko office.
It's him. On the phone.
-Who?|-Hal.
I'm going to kill him!|That sick, son-of-a-bitch bastard.
Put him on the speaker.
Hi, Hal.
How are you, darling?
I've been thinking about you.|I wanted to send you a basket or something.
How's the movie?
-It's finding its way.|-Could it find its way to the studio?
We have a few little things to do with it,|like finish it.
It's finished, Dave.
Great. How is it?
My mother thinks|it's the best thing I've ever done.
-Can I speak with her, Hal?|-No, Dave.
