JOE (spoken):
Yeah, I had an appointment with Mr. Sheldrake
JONES (spoken):
Name?
JOE (spoken):
Gillis. Joseph Gillis
JONES (spoken):
All right, sir, you know your way?
JOE (spoken):
Yeah
FIRST FINANCEMAN:
We want the keys to your car
SECOND FINANCEMAN:
You're way behind with the payments
FIRST FINANCEMAN:
Don't give us any fancy footwork
SECOND FINANCEMAN:
Give us the keys
JOE:
I only wish I could help
I loaned it to my accountant
He has an important client down in Palm Springs
Felt like shooting the breeze
FIRST FINANCEMAN:
Are you telling us you walked here?
JOE:
I believe in self-denial
I'm in training for the priesthood
SECOND FINANCEMAN:
OK, wise guy, three hundred bucks
FIRST FINANCEMAN:
Or we're taking the car
SECOND FINANCEMAN:
We have a court order
JOE (spoken):
I love it when you talk dirty
SAMMY:
Bless you, Joseph
JOE:
That you, Sammy?
SAMMY:
How do you like my harem?

How come you get such lousy breaks?

One learns to grin and bear 'em
GIRLS:
This is the biggest film ever made
JOE:
What're you playing?
ANITA:
Temple virgin
DAWN:
Handmaiden to Delilah
JOE:
Let's have lunch
Gotta run
You've got to find me a job
I'm way behind with my payments
I thought you were meant to be my agent
I need some work
MORINO:
I only wish I could help
This town is dead at the moment
There's been this slowdown in production
JOE (spoken):
Who is this jerk?
MORINO:
He's my wunderkind from Broadway
Every major studio wants him
YOUNGER MAN:
Playing one against the other
JOE:
What I need is three hundred bucks
MORINO (spoken):
Maybe what you need is a new agent
JOE:
Hello, Artie
ARTIE:
Joe, you bastard!
JOE:
You never call me any more
ARTIE:
Found a cuter dancing partner
How are things?
JOE:
Not so great
ARTIE:
Will this help?
Twenty bucks?
JOE (spoken):
Thanks, you're a pal
ALL (spoken):
Good morning, Mr. DeMille
Hi Mr. DeMille
SHELDRAKE:
This is Sheldrake
Bring some water
Get me that ****head Nolan
Nolan, sweetheart
Great to talk
This draft is so much brighter
You're the best
Even so
I've hired another writer
SECRETARY (spoken):
Mr. Gillis
SHELDRAKE:
Joe! What the **** brings you here?
JOE (spoken):
You wanted to see me
SHELDRAKE (spoken):
I did? What about?
JOE (spoken):
"Bases Loaded." It's an outline for a baseball picture
SHELDRAKE (spoken):
So, pitch
JOE (spoken):
It's about a rookie shortstop. He's batting .347. The kid was once mixed up in a holdup. Now he's trying to go straight
SHELDRAKE (spoken):
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I think I have read this. Somebody, bring in what we've got on...
JOE (spoken):
"Bases Loaded."
SHELDRAKE (spoken):
..."Bases Loaded."
JOE (spoken):
They're pretty hot for it over at Twentieth
SHELDRAKE (spoken):
Good!
JOE (spoken):
But can you see Ty Power as a shortstop?
ENSEMBLE:
Let's have lunch
BETTY (spoken)
Here's that "Bases Loaded" material, Mr. Sheldrake
I made a two-page synopsis for you,
but I wouldn't bother to read it
SHELDRAKE (spoken):
Why not?
BETTY (spoken):
It's just a rehash of something
that wasn't very good to begin with
SHELDRAKE (spoken):
Meet Mr. Gillis. He wrote it
ENSEMBLE:
We should talk
SHELDRAKE
(spoken)
This is Miss Kramer
BETTY (spoken)
Schaefer. Betty Schaefer.
And right now,
I'd like to crawl into a hole and pull it in after me
JOE (spoken)
If I could be of any help...
BETTY (spoken)
I'm sorry, Mr. Gillis, I couldn't see the point of it
JOE (spoken)
What sort of material do you suggest?
James Joyce? Dostoyevsky?
BETTY (spoken)
I think pictures should at least try to say a little something
JOE (spoken)
I see you're one of the message kids
I expect you'd have turned down "Gone With the Wind"
SHELDRAKE (spoken)
No, that was me
ENSEMBLE:
Gotta run
BETTY (spoken):
And I guess I was disappointed
I've read some of your other work
and I thought you had some real talent
JOE (spoken):
Yeah, that was last year. This year I felt like eating
BETTY (spoken):
Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Gillis
SHELDRAKE (spoken):
Thank you, Miss Kramer
Well, looks like Zanuck's got himself a baseball picture
ENSEMBLE:
We should talk
Gotta run
Let's have lunch
JOE:
You've got to give me some work
I'll take whatever's on offer
There must be some **** that needs a rewrite
Throw it my way
SHELDRAKE:
I only wish I could help
There's no spare shit at the moment
Remember the greatest writers starved in garretts
Didn't care about pay
JOE:
Are you trying to be funny?
SHELDRAKE:
I believe in self-denial
Gives a man some moral backbone
JOE:
Can you loan me three hundred bucks?
SHELDRAKE:
I'm sorry, Gillis. Good-bye
JOE:
I just love Hollywood

We shoot next month / Let's drive to Vegas this weekend
I'm handing in my second draft / It's between me and Dietrich
I'd really love to read it / I'd know just how to light you
It won't work / I've landed a big Broadway show/ I'd know just how to light you

Come to get your knife back?
It's still right there,
Right between my shoulder blades
