without a happy ending...
...for a century and a half.
What about
With the same budget?
lt's out of proportion.
With that budget,
we have no chance.
What do you think, Mr. Marcus?
Monroe is our production genius.
l count upon him...
...and lean heavily upon him.
showed a $27 million profit.
lt's all due to him.
You know who first told him
you were a genius?
Guess.
You.
Right.
Damn good of you, Pat.
No, no.
l admire a man, l say so.
l want the whole world to know.
Perhaps that's because l'm lrish.
The lrish are a very
warm-hearted people.
The Greeks are warm, too.
l mean, try to find me
a Greek Communist.
You couldn't find one.
But there's not a $2 million
gross in the country right now.
Don't forget, we're in
the middle of a depression.

Do l understand you to say that
you expect to gross...
...a half a million short
of your budget?
lt's a quality picture.
"Quality picture."
What the hell are we...?
We've played safe
for two years now.
lt's time we made a picture
that isn't meant to make money.
at Academy dinners...
...that we have a certain duty
to the public.
Okay.
lt's a good thing for the company...
...to slip in a picture
that'll lose money...
...write it off as good will.
Gentlemen.
Thank you.
Boy.
Mr. Stahr!
Hey, that's a good spiral

Take it away!
- Who told you that?
They're friends of mine.
They didn't know l was doing it.
l didn't know they were doing it.
We all found out this morning.
l'm sorry.
What can you do?
That's the system.
We're back!
You invented that system.
You've distorted the girl.
By distorting the girl,
you've distorted the story.
We're back.
How?
How have l distorted
