Kevin Costner

was deleted from The Big Chill.

Did you know that?

F*** Kevin Costner.

Exactly.

Nick! Here!

Mike, I got a 7:
30 dinner

reservation, I can't...

Get the f*** in here.

- What's up?

- New project.

Okay... We start shooting

in two weeks, okay?

I tell the director you're

the man, you got the job.

You can stay right here, jump

right on to the next one.

Okay. I was actually curious to

see if you'd ask me about this.

- Okay.

- There is one thing.

- Is it a money thing?

- Yes.

- I can't work for less.

- Fine.

But it's all I got.

I'll get you an intern...

No, no. I'm not working with an intern.

Absolutely not.

I cannot afford two editors.

Well, then get

one shitty editor.

What do you want me to say?

Darryl and I have been

working together for years.

- Great!

- We're a team.

He's your wet nurse.

We complement each other.

Okay? He does all

the technical stuff,

all the organizational stuff,

he keeps everything tidy.

Whatever!

Learn that sh*t.

No, no, the point is,

I don't want to.

If he does all that stuff, it allows

me to focus on the editorial stuff.

To do a good job on

making the movie better.

Okay? That's why

we're a perfect team.

- I'm not kidding.

- I'm not kidding either!

- Fine!

- Fine!

Fine.

Fine which way?

My way.

Fine.

Okay. Well,

what does that mean?

You're selfish.

I'm just saying that sometimes

when we're intimate

you only think about yourself.

Okay. Is this about

last night?

Last night, I just...

I got overexcited.

That's what you do to me!

It's not like I didn't

try to get you off.

You get so defensive!

Baby, how can you say something

offensive like you just said to me

and expect me not

to get defensive?

You just don't

see possibilities.

What does that mean, baby?

You keep saying that. I

don't know what that means.

All right?

Every other night

- you're coming two or three times...

- Darryl... Shh.

Keep your voice down.

And the one time

I'm a minute man

you act like it's affecting our

relationship or something.

Don't talk to me like that.

Like what?

With that tone!

- That tone in your voice.

- I don't have a...

Baby, I naturally

have a deep voice.

Okay. Okay. Baby?

- Baby.

- What?

Okay. I hear

what you're saying.

All right? I do.

Next time I have a quick situation...

Mmm-hmm?

I'll go down

on you. Okay?

Fine. That's all

I wanted you to say.

See, this is why

compromise works.

You're right. A lot of the stuff that

you say, like, it resonates in me.

Good.

Wake up!

Talk to me.

No!

Get off. Mmm-mmm.

- Get off!

- Nope. This is it. I'm stuck.

I wanna sleep, seriously.

But this is the only time I ever

get to talk to you anymore.
