Dix Steele! How are you?
- Don't you remember me?
- No, I'm sorry. I can't say that I do.
You wrote the last picture I did
at Columbia.
You. Stop bothering my wife!
You shouldn't have done it. No matter
how much money that pig's got.
- Pull over!
- What's wrong with right here?
- Evening, Mr. Steele.
- Hi, Dave.
- I'll put her right up front.
- Okay.
- Can I have your autograph?
- Who am I?
- I don't know.
- Don't bother, he's nobody.
She's right.
- Hi, Mel.
- Where've you been?
- Come on. Buy us a drink.
- He's somebody.
Lloyd Barnes, big director. Made all
his money before the income tax.
- We've been calling for three days.
- You know me...
...if I don't answer the third ring,
I'm not home.
- Hello, Dix. Lloyd.
- Hi, Max.
Honey, let me have that book I left
here for Mr. Steele.
I'm almost finished.
Say " I like it, " and you go on
salary tomorrow.
Then I like it.
I think it'll make a dreamy picture.
An epic.
- What do you call an epic?
- A picture that's real long...
- ...and has lots of things going on.
- Could we have some matches?
Here you are. Mr. Steele, could I keep
the book till you come out?
I only have a few pages to go.
- Sure, take your time.
- Thanks.
- Good evening, Mr. Steele.
- Evening.
- Remember, she's your audience.
- Say that again...
...l'll get another agent.
How are you, Charlie?
- Let's sit at the other end.
- What's wrong with right here?
- How are you, noble prince?
- Right well, thespian. Greg?
Gin and tonic.
What do you fellows want?
- A stinger.
- Glass of milk.
And a brandy for Mr. Waterman.
- Are you dining here or browsing?
- How's everything, Paul?
Just like show business,
there is no business. Ex cuse me.
- Who's producing this?
- Bert Brody. Lloyd's directing.
You've got to work. You've
been out of circulation too long.
I need money,
you need the 10 percent.
For me, you don't have to go to work.
I've got my apartment, car, ulcers.
- Gasoline doesn't cost much.
- I won't do something I don't like.
- Dix, how many times must I tell you--?
- lt's just another picture.
Can you really be choosy? You haven't
had a hit since before the war.
Everybody makes flops ex cept you.
You've remade the same picture...
...for 20 years.
You're a popcorn salesman.
That's right. So are you.
The difference is, I don't fight it.
- One day I'll write something good.
- Althea Bruce--
- You just have to follow the book.
- Remind me to buy you a new tie.
- Hi, kiddies!
What a picture I made!
Just back from the preview.
- Pasadena's out of its mind about it.
- Hello, Junior.
- No one walked out!
- Don't you shake hands with an actor?
You call this an actor?
He hasn't remembered a line
for 10 years.
Made your father- in- law
a couple of million.
- Pop made a star out of a drunkard.
- That is a menace.
Movie idol of the Roaring '20s.
Look at him.
Gazing into his crystal ball!
You have set the son- in- law business
back 50 years.
- Stop! Hey, stop, Dix!
What's the matter with you?
Quiet down!
There goes Dix again.
- I'm leaving.
- Mel, take Charlie home, will you?
Come on.
Maybe I'd better stay.
No.
- You will read that book tonight?
- Yes, yes.
I'll drop by and wake you up in
the morning. Around 10.
Make it about 11 .
He had it coming, but next time will
you please do it in the parking lot?
- I'll have some ham and eggs.
- I shall select the eggs personally.
Sit here and take it easy.
Dix on Steele!
