The Heart of the Deal Page #3

---

- Yeah. Sure.

Um, yeah.

- Well, I hate to wake

him at 1:
15 like this,

but it's important.

Could you...

- I'm awake.

Come into my office.

- Uh, it's just right

down to the right.

And then in the hallway.

- Down the hall!

I'm in the back!

You're getting warm!

You didn't bring

coffee, did you?

- Sorry.

- I have pants on.

- Fascinating.

- No, I'm telling you that so

you'll be comfortable.

- Thank you.

Listen, I told you

we were interested.

Why did you take it

to Universal?

- Oh, don't get all

army-foldy on me.

I played your boss, not you.

Your studio's going

to the Canadians.

He's got to go to the board

with the new Bobby Mason picture

to keep his job.

I just nudged him.

I tried to nudge you,

but you're not nudgeable.

I'm a wily coyote.

I put a deal memo together

on that pile of crap.

[ Chuckling ]

- You're a bargain!

- My fee's

a little outrageous

put I do have you

over a barrel.

The budget's $100 mil,

plus or minus 10.

I don't know what

Bobby costs these days.

[ Exhaling ]

- There's a tree in your pool.

- California Pepper.

- It's a Jacaranda.

- Here's a clean

copy for you.

- No, no, no.

- Thank you so much.

- You can't see that.

- For me.

No one will see it.

- No. Thank you, Lionel.

Lionel...

So, when do we start shooting?

- We can't make a movie

if we don't have a script.

- Wait, I didn't want to

embarrass my nephew,

but I hired a new writer.

You'll have a script

in a couple of days.

- Couple of days?

- I have to pee.

And I wasn't completely

honest about my pants.

- I'll see myself out.

- OK, tell 'em to call me.

- OK.

- How are they going

to call you, Char...

How are they going

to call you, Charlie,

if you don't have a phone?

- You are one sharp cookie.

Tell them, I'll call them.

[ Urinating ]

- Are they going to make it?

- Oh, yeah.

- Hey, where's my script?

What's this?

Six Days of Darkness?

- I like that girl.

- F*** you!

- How's it coming, Wing?

- The script? Yeah, OK.

You bring the cash?

- Let me read a couple

of pages first.

- OK.

Next time, huh?

I trust you.

OK, weapons expert,

he go off deep end in Desert

Storm, emigrate to Israel.

- That's good.

- Chick operative,

she grow up in kibbutz.

Drive tank and give

hand job same time!

- I'm lovin' it!

- Picture Beirut.

Suicide mission.

-Bill and Ben?

- It's an indie.

It's an art film.

Beautifully-written.

- Bobby Mason?

- It's William Gladstone

and Benjamin Disraeli

debating tariff laws in

the House of Commons

during the reign

of Queen Victoria.

- Bobby likes it?

- Bobby hasn't read it.

He doesn't read scripts.

It's his rabbi.

He's Jewish now.

- Make it work!

I'm going into the boardroom
