I came over here a little late,

OK, but its you who is backing down.

Hey! Because you are making me tense.

Give me the bottle. I need another drink.

Maybe if we just took our

clothes off and got into bed?

What? No! I can't. It's too mechanical.

Here, just take the 20 bucks.

No! Forget it. I'll just go.

Sorry I screwed everything up.

No, I'm sorry too.

'Cause this isn't really my style.

And don't be upset, it's got nothing to do with your looks.

Don't take it personally. Okay?

But you don't wanna do it?

Oh, my God! If it's so important to you, we'll do it!

Cmon! We'll do it! Let's go.

Come on.

Okay.

Okay!

Here, take the money.

So what is your name? Cindy?

Its Candy.

Candy? Its Candy?

Yeah.

It's that real...? What is that? Candice?

No, not really.

But it's a sexy name, don't you think?

It's okay..

My real name is Shirley.

Shirley Garfein.

You are a Jew?

Yeah. So?

A Jewish hooker! Is this is a first.

Oh, don't act so shocked!

I'm not gonna make a career out of it!

Just take the 20, OK? And please go.

Just go. Thank you.

Oh! What's wrong?

Please.

Nothing, I just can't...let you in.

Let's go.

But, please. Are you sure?

Very sure. It was nice to meet you. Thank you so much.

Just don't talk to anybody on your way out.

That's fine.

It's just down this hall.

Great!

Come in. Come in.

Sorry been so hard to get to.

Hate to tell you, how hard its been going

through with Howard Hawks at Chicago.

Oh! That's okay, Uncle Phil.

Sit.

So...

what's the story?

Rose tells me you wanna live out here?

Yes...yes,

I could not go on with my father's business.

Sorry...

It was stilt defying, I wanna do something

more interesting with my life.

Call for you, sir.

Hello? Yeah, hi Paul.

Yeah, its a mess down there.

Adolphe Menjou is threatening to walk off the picture.

I'll give you the details at Jacks on Friday.

You will be at the poker game, right?

OK, we'll talk then.

Yeah, yep. I'm tied up right now.

Great.

You can't believe last coupla weeks.

Oh, Christ! Ben, it's all about ego!

This whole town runs on ego.

Yeah. Hi, I'm Bobby.

Ben is my brother though, so its understandable.

So what the hell...

What can I do for you?

Adele calling...

Hold on...hello?

Oh, Jesus! What...?

Absolutely. Yes.

Lunch on Friday at the Brown Derby.

Yeah. And bring Harry because I believe

Joel McCrea would be the perfect play to lead.

Absolutely. See you on Friday.

And don't cancel on me with

a cock-a-mame excuse.

What do you think of Joel McCrea?

I think he's a great movie star.

What I like about Joel McCrea is that he can

play drama and give you the light touch.

Great range.

So...what are your plans?

Are you plannin' on staying out here?
