Now get out of here.
Right now. Get out
This is Madrid, in Spain,
not Sunset Boulevard
We flew from Rome in your
private plane, remember?
Then let her find her own way back
There must be other planes,
trains, buses. Give her some money
Is she changing? Then why
didn't you bring her with you?
- She don't sit with the customers
- You talked to her?
Through the door.
She opened it that wide
That fella in Rome was right.
Her English ain't bad
- Did you tell her what it was about?
- She knew. And she knew who you were
She don't sit at the
tables with the customers
One of the waiters tells me she's
got a reputation for not mingling
Do you suppose that, just this
once, you might have to go yourself?
This time, I want "you" to go
Sorry, my contract and the
bylaws of my various guilds
call for me to render my services
to you as a writer and a director
I'm not required to do
your... public relations
Look who's a candidate
for the Christopher Award
An ex-drunk who's
fallen on his face
in front of half of central casting
Shut up, Oscar
Now, this is as good a time as any
to get our relationship
straight, once and for all
You work for me. I pay you.
That means only one thing to me
whether you're a director or
a janitor in one of my plants:
I'm your boss
I'm also perfectly willing and able
to cancel this entire
production right now
Pay you off and write you off
The government will be
paying for most of it anyway
With Oscar's help,
I can let it be known
your script wasn't worth shooting
and that you were in
Maybe you went off
the wagon. Who knows?
The majors aren't wanting you anyway
And if I can't afford you
as an independent, who can?
All that, just to meet a new face
All that, because I
want you to do what I say
even if it's picking up
my hat when I tell you to
Give me some money,
Oscar, to get back to Rome
I'll ad-lib the rest of the way
Why don't you come too, Harry?
You might as well put whisky in
that. And don't worry about your soul
You must have lost it at
some preview, a long time ago
Um...
Seorita Vargas?
Gracias
Seorita, your bare feet are showing
Now, I don't speak Spanish,
you don't speak english
so the only way we can
make any progress is to...
- I did not say to come in
- You did not say to stay out
- You did not actually say nothing
- Anything
Your English is very good
Where'd you learn it?
- This man, he is my cousin
- This man, he is your cousin
Did you come for the same reason
as the man with sweat on his face?
Yes. But, as you see, I
have no sweat on my face
might persuade you...
I do not mingle with the customers
