absolutely no intensity.

Ted Koppel looks loose,

and he goes after it...

...and he digs in.

Hi. How are you?

Marlee, this is Bonnie Sherow.

She read Tales of Fury.

I loved it.

I thought it was wonderful.

I think you're perfect for Ariel.

You're perfect for the part.

We're going to make a couple changes

in the third act.

You should set up a meeting.

Yeah, sure.

- You have my number?

- Absolutely.

Excuse me.

I'm going to say hello to those people.

Don't talk about script changes

at parties.

It was good of you to come.

Don't you look beautiful!

- You know Bonnie Sherow.

- Of course. How are you?

- Tri-Star, right?

- She's at the studio.

That's what I meant. Bring Mr. Mill

a martini. And, Bonnie?

- I'll take a Ramlosa.

- I'll have a martini.

Rod Steiger's here.

Talk to him about the Rudolph project.

He's not that hot on it,

but see if you can get him to read it.

You know who's here? Harry Belafonte.

Harry?

Come and say hello, will you?

- Griffin Mill.

- Hi. Good to see you.

Bonnie Sherow.

She's gaga over you.

I'm a big fan of yours. I saw you accept

the Nelson Mandela Courage Award.

Who was the villain in Ghostbusters?

You got me there.

I got this...

I got this postcard.

Harassment kind of stuff.

What are you talking about?

It's some writer

I must've brushed off.

Get something to eat.

There's lovely stuff over there.

We will in a few minutes.

Your hands are as cold as mine.

Would you like one of these?

I don't think I do.

Are you talking about threats?

No. Yes.

I don't know.

He's pissed off.

I thought writers were your long suit.

You're the writer's executive.

Are you pitching me a dream?

- You don't sound sincerely interested.

- It depends how good the dream is.

Levy's here.

- Dick, what's he doing here?

- Goldblum? He's a friend.

- No, Larry Levy.

- He came with Sally.

What's going on with my job?

Everywhere I look,

Larry Levy is in my face.

Larry Levy is a comer. That's what

comers do, they get in your face.

You're a comer, too. You can handle it.

Stop worrying about him.

So the rumors are true?

Rumors are always true.

- I'm always the last to hear about them.

- You're the last one to believe.

Am I out?

You're not out, but you'd better

start thinking about a roommate.

Relax, you can handle this.

You can make it work for you.

- Larry?

- Dick. Sorry to crash your party.

- Do you know everybody?

- I will before the night's out.

You will, indeed.

- Great party, Dick.

- Good. Did you get some food?

Listen to this.

She kisses him harder.

He puts his hands in her underpants.

She grabs his shoulders.

He pulls her dress above her waist.
