He's the hero, the star. 189 00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:47,229 Imagine, John, over the opening credits, we'll see Horace. 190 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,075 Wonderful, adorable dissolves of Horace. In close-up. In long shot. 191 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,234 Now, this is the part of the script I'm not sure about. 192 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,756 The censors might cut it. It turns out that Horace is in heat. 193 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,639 - Horace? - It's a story of mistaken identity. 194 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,315 You see, Horace has a twin. A bitch. She's called Geraldine. 195 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,190 Now, it's she that's in heat. Isn't that a wonderful switch? 196 00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:19,590 We'll cut from the Hyde Park sequence to an early-morning shot of the river. 197 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,239 The river. 198 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,671 Horace is alone now. We dolly with him as he trots down a deserted street. 199 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,354 - He turns into Grosvenor... - What are you doing here? 200 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,829 I have found a copy of the script. 201 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,951 - I hope you like it as much as I do. - I'm sure I will. 202 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,712 Peter! Please. 203 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,075 You must hear the ending. 204 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,438 Horace is all alone. We'll dolly with him as he trots down a deserted street. 205 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,955 Now, from another angle... 206 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,680 Geraldine can be seen coming down Brook Street. 207 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,513 She passes Claridge's, then she enters the square. 208 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,270 Suddenly, they see each other. 209 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,874 Horace and Geraldine. 210 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,749 There isn't a human in sight. They race toward each other! The music swells! 211 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,675 Now, we hold the final picture in an extreme long shot... 212 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,678 as they meet... 213 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,277 turn... 214 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,272 and go off together. 215 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,115 They've only just begun to live. 216 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,554 Well, that's the end. 217 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,591 They find each other. 218 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,632 Well, isn't that something? Isn't that something? 219 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,033 Do you really like it? 220 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,033 Well, darling, it's swell. 221 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,589 Come on, we'll talk some more. 222 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:51,039 Pete. 223 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,952 If there's half as much love in this old gal as there is talk... 224 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,350 I may be dead in the morning. 225 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,559 Hey, Johnny. 226 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,392 - Morning. - Morning. 227 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,395 You look like you've been run through the wringer. 228 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:15,391 Just part of me. 229 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,591 What's happening, kid? What do you think of the script? 230 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,796 Well, I'll tell you the truth. I like it. 231 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,439 - I like it a lot. - Good. 232 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,652 It's original, it's exciting and it's moving. 233 00:14:25,676 --> 00:14:27,752 I just have one little problem with it. 234 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,834 The ending. 235 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,310 - You don't like the ending? - No, I didn't say I don't like the ending. 236 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,552 I'm just not sure that it's the right one. 237 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,752 Let me put it in Hollywood terms. I think it's too downbeat. 238 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,956 After everything these two have gone through: 239 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,237 They fought the river, tropical storms, the Germans... 240 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,916 Just when you've set the audience up for a wonderfully comic ending... 241 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,038 you blow the ship up and kill everybody. 242 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,033 Well, Pete, there's an old saying: 243 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,156 "God makes a man before he kills him." 244 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,108 I've heard it, John. I've heard it. But I don't think it applies in this case. 245 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,635 You're beating the audience over the head, John. 246 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,556 People don't go to see pictures to be lectured to. 247 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,280 Tell me, Pete. Do you own a percentage of this film? 248 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,555 No. 249 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,873 Then why are you so concerned about the damn audience? 250 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,788 Because we're in show business, John. 251 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,033 Not me. And not you, either, when we work together. 252 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,918 You see, we're gods, Pete. 253 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,550 Lousy little gods who control the lives of the people we create. 254 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,508 We sit up in some heavenly place and decide whether they live or die... 255 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,754 on the merits of what happens to them in reel one, two, three, et cetera. 256 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,115 And then we decide if they have the right to live. 257 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,033 And that's how we arrive at our ending. 258 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,557 Well, that's what you say, John. But I say I'm a swell god. 259 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,153 I say they should live... 260 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,480 because of everything they've gone through together. 261 00:15:52,504 --> 00:15:57,228 This world doesn't necessarily have to be a hopeless and rotten place, John. 262 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,075 We're not all destined and doomed to die of radium poisoning. 263 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,037 Now, I might be completely wrong... 264 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,760 but that's what makes me a swell god. 265 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,232 - Makes you a flea on an elephant's ass. - Oh, balls to your pessimism. 266 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,359 You know something? You'll never be a good screenwriter, and you know why? 267 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,670 No, John. Why don't you tell me why? 268 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,549 Because you let 85 million popcorn eaters pull you this way and that way. 269 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,632 To write a movie, you must forget anyone's ever going to see it. 270 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,075 You're gonna make damn sure nobody sees this one. 271 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,028 Well, maybe I am. But I figure there's two ways to live in this world. 272 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,715 One is you can crawl and kiss ass and write their happy endings... 273 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,759 sign their long-term contracts and never take a chance on anything... 274 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,480 and never fly, never leave Hollywood. 275 00:16:42,504 --> 00:16:45,233 Save all your goddamn money, every cent of it. 276 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,756 And then when you're a healthy-looking 50, you die of a stroke... 277 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,629 because whatever was wild in you has eaten away the muscles of your heart. 278 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,634 The other way is to let the chips fall where they may. 279 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,191 Refuse to sign their contracts and tell off the guy who can cut your throat... 280 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,557 and flatter the little guy who's hanging by a thread that you hold. 281 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,109 John, maybe you shouldn't be in the picture business. 282 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,078 Well, maybe you're right, kid. Maybe I shouldn't. 283 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,789 Maybe I should've wandered the planet gambling on oil wells... 284 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,997 or stolen diamonds or pimped for maharajahs. 285 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,799 Maybe you should've but you know why you didn't? 286 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,238 Because somewhere deep inside of you is a small, tiny spark of hope. 287 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,231 Hope, hell. 288 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:31,269 I'll die broke in a downtown Los Angeles flophouse. And I won't be bitter. 289 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,348 I'll have contributed maybe five, 10 damn good pictures. 290 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,830 They'll name a special Academy Award for me. And you know something? 291 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,959 All the wrong guys will get it. And I'll be in hell, laughing my ass off. 292 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,791 Romantic futility. 293 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,633 - Your one true love. - Nothing to be ashamed of, kid. 294 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,472 No, no, no, I didn't say that. 295 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,029 But I admit, you are right about the ending, John. 296 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,237 I think you should kill them all and blow everything up! 297 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,872 I knew you'd ultimately see it my way. 298 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,312 Morning, boys. 299 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,391 If it isn't the producer, right on cue. 300 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,393 I have just come from a meeting... 301 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,439 and I think the financial deal is finally set. 302 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,398 - Good. When do I get my take? - Oh, you'll get it. 303 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,552 - I'm glad to see you've been working. - No, we're not working. 304 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,075 We're just warming up, doing some mental calisthenics. 305 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,560 Well, if you take my advice, you'll start with the ending. 306 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,472 Oh, yeah? 307 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,393 Now, look, Paul.

But you're trying to complicate it, Pete. 409 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,591 Things are always good if they're left simple. 410 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,034 No, not always. 411 00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:34,148 Always. That's what creates truly important art, is simplicity. 412 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,515 John, there are no rules to art. 413 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,593 There are hundreds of rules. Hemingway understood that. 414 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,638 That's why he always reduced life to its simplest terms. 415 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,349 Whether it's courage, fear, impotence, death. 416 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,471 People's lives just unfold, and things just happen to them one thing after another. 417 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,359 They were never bogged down with that nonsense of subplot... 418 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,478 that we sweated over in the past. 419 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,956 Stendhal understood that. Flaubert. Tolstoy. Melville. 420 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,156 Simplicity is what made them great. 421 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,915 No, Pete. Don't complicate it. You'll just be wasting your time. 422 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,039 Wasting my time? 423 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,318 I'm wasting my time trying to make the script better?

I thought we were gonna finish the film first and then go on safari. 428 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,479 If we wait till the film is finished, we'll never get to it. 429 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,552 We'll finish the script, then go on safari... 430 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,554 then we'll shoot the film after we've shot our elephants. 431 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,718 Damn lake flies. 432 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,110 Good job they don't bite. 433 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,152 Come on, whites! 434 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,469 There's a spare man in the middle! 435 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,676 - He tripped over my arm! Please. - That was a fault. 436 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,993 - That was a fault. Let's go! - How can that be a penalty? 437 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,151 - The local boys are good, aren't they? - Yes. 438 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,029 They went to England last year. Of course, they didn't stand a chance. 439 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:44,200 Why is that? 440 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,112 They're clever with their feet... 441 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,589 but against a good British team, they're too small. 442 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,320 The old blocking and checking throws them off. 443 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,517 They don't go in for that sort of thing at all, you see. 444 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,513 Probably be lynched if they did. 445 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,600 We're not like you Americans. 446 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,390 Of course not. 447 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,914 - Oh, well done. - Hell of a man, that boy. Hell of a man. 448 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,389 Where is the defense?! 449 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,076 What? What?

At nighttime there are mosquitoes. 456 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:43,436 During the day it rains. There are elephants, crocodiles, Pygmies. 457 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,957 - Lots of big game, is there? - Antelope, buffalo. 458 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,272 We saw an elephant from the plane with tusks right down to the ground. 459 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,919 Could you lay a plane on to take us there? 460 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,389 No problem.

The people behaved so magnificently. 481 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,038 They didn't all behave well. You probably never left the West End. 482 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,875 Not true, not true. I did a film about the London Blitz. 483 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,678 I was all over town. 484 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,150 Well, you can't have spent much time in Soho, where I lived. 485 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:36,079 - Why do you say that, dear? - I thought the people there were horrid. 486 00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:38,674 There are an awful lot of Jews in that neighborhood. 487 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,308 - Mrs. MacGregor. - Margaret. 488 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,597 Margaret.

And they didn't go into the army. 499 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,390 And when they did, they got themselves cushy jobs. 500 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,475 Of course, there were upper-class Jews, but I'm not talking about them. 501 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,915 I'm talking about the kikes in Soho. 502 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,436 - The foreigners. - Margaret.

But she persisted. 521 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,951 Are you listening, honey? 522 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,476 Mustn't interrupt Daddy. 523 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,189 That's right. You're way too beautiful for that. 524 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,238 Anyway, she went on to say that that's how she felt about it... 525 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,712 that if she had her way, she would kill them all, burn them in ovens, like Hitler. 526 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,474 Well, we all sat there in silence. 527 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,269 Then finally, I leaned over to her and I said, "Madam, I have dined..." 528 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,477 with some of the ugliest goddamn bitches in my time. 529 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,716 And I have dined with some of the goddamndest ugly bitches in this world. 530 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,475 "But you, my dear, are the ugliest bitch of them all." 531 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,553 Anyway, she got up to leave and she tripped over a chair and fell on the floor. 532 00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:26,633 And we all just sat there.
