You're getting it. You're getting it.

Wait a minute.

- No, I don't think I can do it now.

- That's better.

- That's terrific. That's honesty.

Sing it to us like you love us.

That's good.

You're beautiful.

Bravo! Bravo!

- What are you doing here singing?

Why don't you sing us all a song?

- In your suit.

- In your...

Come on. Sit down here.

- Harry looks lovely.

- Looks lovely.

I'm miraculous, and I'm very gracious.

I think you're the most gracious guy

in the world.

Now will you sing something,

because we got a prize going here?

Right.

No rush there.

What a humor you have.

Too much.

Can't see his eyes.

Depression song.

John Cassavetes

John Nicholas Cassavetes (; December 9, 1929 – February 3, 1989) was a Greek-American actor, film director, and screenwriter. Cassavetes was a pioneer of American independent film, writing and directing over a dozen movies, which he partially self-financed, and pioneered the use of improvisation and a cinéma vérité style. He also acted in many Hollywood films, notably Rosemary's Baby (1968) and The Dirty Dozen (1967). He studied acting with Don Richardson, utilizing an alternative technique to method acting which privileged character over traditional narrative. His income from acting made it possible for him to direct his own films independently.Cassavetes was nominated for three separate Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actor for The Dirty Dozen (1967), Best Original Screenplay for Faces (1968) and Best Director for A Woman Under the Influence (1974). His children Nick Cassavetes, Zoe Cassavetes, and Xan Cassavetes are also filmmakers. more…
