00:01Marty was very upset.
00:05I get a call at the office and he said,
00:08Steve, Steve, it's Marty. It's Marty, Steve.
00:10Yeah, can you come over to the house?
00:12They want me to cut all the blood spurting.
00:14They want me to cut the guy who loses his hand.
00:16And he was going crazy.
00:17I mean, there were stories he wanted to kill
00:19the head of the studio.
00:21You had a gun?
00:22I was going to get one.
00:24So you said you were going to get a gun?
00:26Yeah, but I wasn't going to get it.
00:28Really?
00:29You were going to do well with the gun.
00:30Oh, I was going to, I don't know.
00:32I was angry.
00:33I said, I'm going to threaten them.
00:34Or maybe just shoot or something.
00:35I had no idea.
00:36I mean, I was threatening.
00:38What I wanted to do, and not with the gun,
00:41I'm going to, I would go in,
00:43find out where the rough cut is,
00:45and break the windows and take it away.
00:47They're going to destroy the film anyway.
00:49You know?
00:50So let me destroy it.
00:52I'll destroy it.
00:54But before destroying it, I'm going to steal it.
00:56Spielberg and a number of brothers said, Marty, stop that.
00:58Marty, you can't do it.
00:59I said, the more they said no, the more I said it was good.
01:01I didn't know what to do.
01:05And then I don't know who it was that had this idea,
01:08that mollified the MPAA, but it might have been Marty.
01:12What if we took that whole sequence and toned the color down
01:15and make it feel more like a tabloid, you know?
01:19And make it grainy.
01:21Save the movie because he didn't have to cut any of the violence.
01:24He just had to take the color red down to a kind of brown.
01:28And then I'll see you later.
01:29I'll see you later.
01:30Bye.
01:31Bye.
01:32Bye.
01:33Bye.
01:34Bye.
01:35Bye.
01:36Bye.
01:37Bye.
