00:02:37Sailor.
00:02:38Hey, Bobby.
00:02:41You look great.
00:02:45Thanks.
00:02:49If I got the right...
00:02:51You're here to see Jack.
00:02:53Right.
00:02:54Jackie!
00:02:56It's Mr. Day.
00:02:59I hope I'm not too late or early or...
00:03:03We've been up a while.
00:03:04Oh, okay.
00:03:06You know, hey, it's great having you back in class.
00:03:08Did you like my script?
00:03:10Yeah, I did.
00:03:11It's, uh...
00:03:12Uh, it's on the top of the pile.
00:03:16I'm gonna get to it tonight.
00:03:19Gotta go.
00:03:20Come on in.
00:03:22Later, Jackie.
00:03:26You coming back here?
00:03:27I have such an awesome audition today.
00:03:31Really?
00:03:31Lips are sealed.
00:03:32Mom's the word.
00:03:33Too big to talk about.
00:03:34Don't wanna jinx it.
00:03:35I'll, uh...
00:03:36I'll put it on my lucky keychain.
00:03:39Gotta go.
00:03:40Go, go, go.
00:03:41Later!
00:03:50I'll be right there, boss.
00:03:52Yeah, sure thing.
00:04:28Come on.
00:04:32Bobby D!
00:04:33Huh?
00:04:34Jack?
00:04:35I figured, you know, you, uh...
00:04:37Wouldn't wait after class tonight.
00:04:38You know, if you read my screenplay.
00:04:41Hey, you probably didn't.
00:04:42Why would you?
00:04:43What's in the bag?
00:04:45Tola!
00:04:46Mind if I grab a glass?
00:04:48Yeah, sure.
00:04:49Help yourself.
00:04:52Boy, I drink this stuff like it's going out of style.
00:04:55Now, what film did Pacino say that in?
00:04:58He was talking about, uh, Java.
00:05:01Coffee.
00:05:02Oh.
00:05:03Whatever happened to that guy?
00:05:04Is he still in the business?
00:05:05Hit me again?
00:05:06I mean, I haven't seen him since The Godfather.
00:05:09Uh, yeah?
00:05:10He's made a few films since The Godfather.
00:05:13I think you're the most uninformed screenwriter I've ever met.
00:05:18I've been working for a living, boss.
00:05:19You gotta cut me some slack.
00:05:21I don't know.
00:05:22Maybe I'm wrong.
00:05:23But I guess you were trying to be the early bird got the worm.
00:05:25But me?
00:05:26I was fucking all night.
00:05:28Guess you just couldn't help yourself.
00:05:29I guess you couldn't help yourself either.
00:05:32Yeah.
00:05:32She's awesome, huh?
00:05:34She can't write worth a shit.
00:05:36Who cares?
00:05:37All right, you know what?
00:05:38You're dead on, Jack.
00:05:40You caught me dead to rights.
00:05:41Uh, I came here to talk to you about your script before class tonight.
00:05:45So you show up and there's nobody around but you and the street cleaners.
00:05:49You must have really wanted to talk to me about my script.
00:05:50I do.
00:05:52But before I say anything...
00:05:53You wanna take a Stephen Worthy?
00:05:55Whoa, wow.
00:05:56Wouldn't that be the perfect, uh, deus ex-Makina Bobby Blue Day comes down from heaven to deliver
00:06:03your script to none other than Stephen Worthy?
00:06:06I mean, why not?
00:06:07I mean, if it's good enough, is it good enough?
00:06:11How do you know I even know him?
00:06:12Well, you mentioned the guy in, like, every freaking class, man.
00:06:15Class, let me cut 40 minutes and tell you about the time I was talking story in the
00:06:18Apache Sweat Lodge with Stephen Worthy.
00:06:19Okay, okay, pretty cool, though.
00:06:21Absolutely fucking cool.
00:06:22I love your Hollywood stories, man.
00:06:24You knew everybody, you know?
00:06:25You used to surf with Charlie Chaplin.
00:06:28Listen, I didn't know Chaplin, all right?
00:06:30He was a little before my time.
00:06:32Yeah, but you used to surf with Stephen Worthy.
00:06:33He didn't surf.
00:06:34He's the one that told me to stop drinking.
00:06:36All right, and did you?
00:06:37Oh, not till about two years later.
00:06:40But the point is, I can get to him.
00:06:44You're so cool.
00:06:45I finished your book, you know, How to Make a Perfect Strip Better.
00:06:48Loved it.
00:06:48And what'd you learn?
00:06:50It's all right here, man, in the script.
00:06:52What'd you say?
00:06:53Oh, Hijack.
00:06:56Your script.
00:06:57I couldn't put it down.
00:06:59Nice.
00:07:00And you totally rocked the idea of the hero's journey.
00:07:02Joseph Campbell, sir, owes it all to you.
00:07:04All right, Campbell said it first, but I said it better.
00:07:07All right, all right.
00:07:08So you really think that Hijack is the first perfect script that couldn't be better?
00:07:11Yeah, which is why you're going to take it to your best buds.
00:07:14It's even worthy to direct.
00:07:15Well, I think it could be better.
00:07:19What?
00:07:20Your script.
00:07:21That script could be what?
00:07:22It could be better.
00:07:24How much better?
00:07:26A lot better.
00:07:29I'm sorry.
00:07:30I'm sorry, man.
00:07:32Jack, come on.
00:07:33Let's at least remain professional.
00:07:35Why?
00:07:36I'm not in the business yet, and you're no longer in it.
00:07:42Really?
00:07:51Want some more cola?
00:07:55No, why don't you just give me a minute to get my Zen back, kid?
00:08:01You know, I'm not just some washed-up Hollywood screenwriter.
00:08:06I'm an expatriate.
00:08:08I fled the bullshit.
00:08:13That, uh, caffeine treating you right?
00:08:18Well, like the poet said, liquor's quicker.
00:08:26You know, teacher, I honestly thought a reason you beat a pat to my doorstep this morning is because, you
00:08:32know, you thought my script was that good.
00:08:35You just had to tell me.
00:08:36No.
00:08:38It's a misfire.
00:08:40It's an air wreck.
00:08:41It's a total air disaster.
00:08:42The worst that the FAA has seen in years.
00:08:44I mean, the fact that this is the best that you could do out of a ten-week session, frankly,
00:08:49I'm a little disappointed.
00:08:51So what do you suggest?
00:08:52Throw it away?
00:08:52No.
00:08:55I think I'd hold on to it.
00:08:57I mean, look, let's face it.
00:08:58The script doesn't work as written.
00:09:01But there's something there.
00:09:02It's got something.
00:09:03Yeah, it's got a spark.
00:09:04Tiny spark.
00:09:05Yeah, but the spark's tiny.
00:09:06I could barely see it.
00:09:07But you saw it.
00:09:08Yeah, I saw it.
00:09:10It needs a lot of work.
00:09:13You're probably right.
00:09:15I've just been fooling myself thinking I could write a killer screenplay without a no-jack.
00:09:20Did you really think that Al Pacino hasn't done a film since The Godfather?
00:09:24How am I going to find a rewriter, a co-writer, or something?
00:09:28I don't know.
00:09:28You can always run an ad.
00:09:30No.
00:09:30I don't think so.
00:09:36Well, I had a thought.
00:09:38What's that, teach?
00:09:39Well, you know, tonight's the last class.
00:09:42Class is over.
00:09:42And I don't have a lot of free time.
00:09:44But if you think that you might like us to work on your script together, I could hang with you.
00:09:49Oh, Mr. Dad, I could never ask a Hollywood pro like yourself to, you know, work on my blowy piece
00:09:54of shit screen.
00:09:54No, no, no.
00:09:55Here's my notes on that.
00:09:56It's not a piece of shit script.
00:09:59I thought it was.
00:10:00Well, I mean, look, I've done rewrites on worse.
00:10:03Number two, I've played the Hollywood game, and right now, I ain't playing.
00:10:11You're cool, Mr. Day.
00:10:13Thanks.
00:10:15So, who else has seen it?
00:10:17Uh, seen what?
00:10:18Your script.
00:10:20Nobody.
00:10:21Well, I've seen it?
00:10:22Well, I mean, yeah.
00:10:24Look, a literary property, a script, it has value.
00:10:28It's like, uh, any acreage that has gold on it.
00:10:31You ever seen a film called The Treasure of Sierra Madre?
00:10:36Of course you haven't.
00:10:38All right.
00:10:40Who else has seen it?
00:10:41Has seen the film?
00:10:42Has seen the script?
00:10:44Nobody, man.
00:10:46You sure?
00:10:46One thousand percent.
00:10:48Sailor's seen it.
00:10:49She thought it was wicked awesome.
00:10:51I think that's why she fucked me last night.
00:10:54Well, you know the way she talks.
00:10:55Yeah.
00:10:56I can't wait to hear her opinions when she gets back from her audition.
00:10:59Yeah, she didn't really tell me where she was going, but she was totally stoked about it.
00:11:03Anyone else?
00:11:05Nobody thanks to you.
00:11:06You let the class use the school's copy machine.
00:11:08So there's no copy place to do trying to claim an Oscar for best screenplay.
00:11:12Anybody else?
00:11:13Maybe some minimum wage desk jockey.
00:11:15What I'm trying to say is I registered the script in town.
00:11:19Huh.
00:11:21Good thinking.
00:11:23No security breach, Mr. Power.
00:11:24Oh, so the man does watch television.
00:11:27Sometimes you just gotta unwind from spinning the sign.
00:11:29You know, I've seen you out there on the street corners of Manhattan.
00:11:32Yeah, did you honk?
00:11:33Well, I thought to myself, here's this broken human compass.
00:11:38You're totally the writer, dude.
00:11:40You know, he shoots his mouth off in class.
00:11:41He's going to write the great American screenplay.
00:11:45Well, here we are.
00:11:47We're waiting.
00:11:49All right.
00:11:49Well, now that the wait is over, I blew it.
00:11:53But the good news is the cavalry's here.
00:11:56And they're going to help me rewrite it for absolutely nothing.
00:12:00Fifty percent.
00:12:03Fifty percent of what?
00:12:06Your scripts.
00:12:08All rights.
00:12:09All ancillary rights.
00:12:10This isn't a favor?
00:12:12Yeah.
00:12:12Favor's going to get you killed faster than a bullet.
00:12:14Pacino.
00:12:16I don't remember that line in The Godfather.
00:12:19Well, fifty percent and a shared credit.
00:12:24How about more cola?
00:12:26I'm fine with the half share and the credit.
00:12:30I think I'll have some.
00:12:41You know what I think?
00:12:43No.
00:12:49I think it's pretty strange how you say my script is a blowy piece of shit.
00:12:55But why do you want it so bad, Teach?
00:12:58Hmm.
00:13:00Well, in Hollywood, uh, we call that negotiating.
00:13:05Uh-huh.
00:13:06I'll tell you what I think.
00:13:08I think this is the best script you've ever read.
00:13:11And I think you'd do anything to get your mitts on it.
00:13:14And if I don't go with this 50-50 idea of yours,
00:13:17you're going to totally fucking cock-block my script
00:13:19and never take it to Stephen Worthy.
00:13:32It is the best script I've ever read.
00:13:39Okay.
00:13:43We can't keep Worthy waiting.
00:13:46No.
00:13:48Not Worthy.
00:13:53Or in the event of force majeure.
00:13:55That's end-of-the-world stuff.
00:13:57All bets are off.
00:14:02Remember Tom Cruise and a few good men?
00:14:05A man couldn't think without his back.
00:14:11Hey, why you gotta use all those complicated words for?
00:14:14And what does injunctive relief mean?
00:14:16Because we can't just sit here making woodpecker sounds.
00:14:19I'm writing a formal contract.
00:14:24Just don't fuck me, man.
00:14:26I mean, I wrote the script.
00:14:27I already did, you know?
00:14:29Um, what do you call it in class?
00:14:32The heavy lifting.
00:14:34Is Stephen Worthy as smart as you?
00:14:37He's definitely gotta be.
00:14:38I mean, he's way successful.
00:14:41Oops.
00:14:42Sorry, boss.
00:14:44You know, you probably didn't know this,
00:14:45but the night that the Manson family
00:14:47committed all those murders up there in the Hollywood Hills,
00:14:50they had a list.
00:14:51They never got that far.
00:14:53But Stephen's house is number three on that list.
00:14:55Cool.
00:14:56Cool?
00:14:58Cool.
00:14:58I don't know how that's cool.
00:15:00But it shows you that even then, back in the day...
00:15:03Bobby Day!
00:15:03Oh, my God.
00:15:04Are we having a problem here?
00:15:06No, no, no.
00:15:07Carry on.
00:15:07Carry on.
00:15:08What's up?
00:15:11Oh, God.
00:15:14Baseball bat.
00:15:16Tom Cruise.
00:15:17Few good men.
00:15:18Since when do you know anything about movies?
00:15:21Do you really think a script like Hijack
00:15:22was written by a total savant?
00:15:25I've been playing you, man.
00:15:26Pretend not to know nothing.
00:15:27The ultimate natural.
00:15:29Yeah.
00:15:29Bullshit.
00:15:31I'm going to Hollywood, man.
00:15:33You make the sale.
00:15:34For your 10%.
00:15:35Oh, really?
00:15:36What happened to 50%?
00:15:37What's the matter?
00:15:38You want to see conjunctive relief?
00:15:39I just thought we had a deal.
00:15:41I mean, you know,
00:15:42Stephen's a phone call away.
00:15:44I've got him in my cell.
00:15:45You know, I love the way you guys talk.
00:15:47I mean,
00:15:48like he's actually miniaturized or something.
00:15:51Okay.
00:15:51We're all just a bunch of Hollywood cliches.
00:15:53So, do we have a deal or don't we?
00:15:56At 10%.
00:15:58Okay, fine.
00:15:5915%.
00:15:59No, 10%.
00:16:00Listen, I'm young.
00:16:01I need the dough and plenty of it.
00:16:03Fred C. Dobbs.
00:16:04Treasure Sierra Madrigal.
00:16:05You know what?
00:16:06I can't take it anymore.
00:16:07I have a headache.
00:16:09Got writer's block.
00:16:10I'm going to go have a smoke.
00:16:12I'm going to hammer out the rest of this deal
00:16:14when I get back.
00:16:15Great.
00:16:16I'll come with you.
00:16:17Let me grab my coat.
00:16:20Yeah, you can see all Manhattan up there.
00:16:23Especially the Empire State Building.
00:16:25You ever been?
00:16:25No, I haven't.
00:16:27I've been here a year
00:16:28and barely scratched the surface.
00:16:31Yeah, me either.
00:16:32I can never go up there.
00:16:34I'm scared of heights.
00:16:50So, you really know Stephen Worthy?
00:16:54Yes, I do.
00:16:57You're totally a fucking legend, man.
00:17:03What can I say?
00:17:09You know, I thought you were totally the L.A. guy.
00:17:12Never really been out here.
00:17:17Yeah.
00:17:18It's quite the culture shock.
00:17:22I guess you've always wanted to teach evening classes.
00:17:26I don't know.
00:17:27New York seemed to be a good place
00:17:28to teach a writing class.
00:17:31Yeah.
00:17:32You know, to be honest with you,
00:17:33I'm not really the East Coast kind of guy.
00:17:37Really?
00:17:38That's hard to believe,
00:17:39John F. Kennedy R.E.M.R.
00:17:41That was my parents, man.
00:17:44Lee Harvey Oswald would have suited me fine.
00:17:47I guess we could always use that
00:17:48as your pen name.
00:17:51Just have to change the title page.
00:17:54No.
00:17:55I'm good.
00:18:01Tell me, what's it like to be famous?
00:18:04I mean, real famous.
00:18:07Wouldn't I like to know?
00:18:11Hey, maybe we'll learn together.
00:18:14Still liking that 50-50 deal.
00:18:18All right, so I read your book.
00:18:21Come on.
00:18:22Tell me.
00:18:24What's your secret?
00:18:25What's your secret?
00:18:28My secret?
00:18:34Well, my secret.
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:38No.
00:18:39Maybe it's taking things to the edge.
00:18:44Bobby, get down, man.
00:18:45That's real dangerous.
00:18:46No, it's not.
00:18:49That's dangerous.
00:18:51Come on, man.
00:18:52Just get down.
00:18:53Come on.
00:18:53Okay.
00:18:54Get down, Bobby.
00:18:55Come on, man.
00:18:56I'll come down.
00:18:57Give me your hand.
00:18:58Come on.
00:18:58Oh, come on up.
00:19:00This is it.
00:19:01This is it.
00:19:02This is what you're waiting for.
00:19:03Come on, Bobby.
00:19:04Bobby, come on.
00:19:05I'm here with you.
00:19:05Bobby, stop it.
00:19:07You're good.
00:19:07You're good.
00:19:08Bobby.
00:19:09Bobby.
00:19:10Bobby.
00:19:12What the fuck?
00:19:13Are you fucking nuts?
00:19:15Have you lost it?
00:19:16I hate it.
00:19:17Look.
00:19:17That's what I'm talking about.
00:19:19Living on the edge, son.
00:19:21That's what it takes.
00:19:22That's what it takes to write something really great.
00:19:26Come on.
00:19:26It's the adrenaline rush.
00:19:28Do you feel it?
00:19:28Live on the edge.
00:19:32I'm just playing around.
00:19:39I'm just playing around, man.
00:19:42Come on back.
00:19:46I'm just playing around.
00:20:41I'm just playing around.
00:20:49No, baby.
00:20:51There it is.
00:20:55What's that?
00:20:57What were you expecting?
00:21:00Snowhurst Castle.
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:03No.
00:21:04No, it's not.
00:21:07You've got six houses.
00:21:09Palm Beach, Santa Barbara,
00:21:12Makinta, Sri Lanka.
00:21:21All right.
00:21:23It's just going to be a simple meet and greet, right?
00:21:26Okay.
00:21:26I'll be back in about 15 minutes.
00:21:31Well, just wait in the car.
00:21:33That'll be fun.
00:21:38You want to meet him?
00:21:40Stephen Worthy?
00:21:42Hell yes.
00:21:45Whatever you do, just act casual, okay?
00:21:48Oh, okay.
00:21:57Hi, Stephen.
00:21:59No, no.
00:22:00That's not Stephen.
00:22:01Hi.
00:22:03I'm Bobby.
00:22:04Bobby Blue Day.
00:22:05I have an appointment, Stephen?
00:22:07You have an appointment?
00:22:09Yes, I do.
00:22:13And you are?
00:22:15Mr. Worthy's personal secretary, Brad Bradley.
00:22:19So, uh, may we come in?
00:22:22I have an envelope.
00:22:24Yeah, I can see that.
00:22:26It's a script treatment.
00:22:28Stephen.
00:22:30I don't want any trouble.
00:22:32I know you don't.
00:22:33I was just on the phone with him a few minutes ago.
00:22:37God.
00:22:38Hey, Stephen.
00:22:38He's not here.
00:22:40No.
00:22:41I was on the phone with him.
00:22:43And I was pitching him this fucking story.
00:22:45And he loved it.
00:22:46He was saying, oh, Bobby, Bobby, you never quit.
00:22:49Get your little butt down here and we'll have a powwow.
00:22:53There's just no other way to say it.
00:22:55He's not here now.
00:22:57He had to leave.
00:23:00Okay.
00:23:01Okay, I guess he's at the beach.
00:23:04Uh, what do you say?
00:23:05Uh, you want to go down to Santa Barbara?
00:23:07Yeah, sure.
00:23:09Okay.
00:23:11Is that where he is?
00:23:13I'm not at liberty to say.
00:23:18Okay, Brad.
00:23:19You know, I have him in my phone.
00:23:22Never mind.
00:23:22Fucking asshole.
00:23:26Is there any way you could do me a favor and just help us out?
00:23:30Please.
00:23:33Here's what I can do, Bobby.
00:23:36I gather you and Stephen are old compadres.
00:23:39Let me have the envelope.
00:23:41I promise.
00:23:43I'll make sure he sees the treatment as soon as he comes home.
00:23:47Okay.
00:23:48Fine.
00:23:49Whatever.
00:23:51Bye, Brad.
00:23:54You have a good one.
00:23:56Bye.
00:23:57Later.
00:24:10Hey, Brad.
00:24:12Mind coming out here a minute?
00:24:15Say what?
00:24:17What do you say?
00:24:18Let's see what you got.
00:24:19Let's have a little mixer in the driveway for the cheap seats.
00:24:22I'll tell you what.
00:24:23If I can put you down, I get to go inside the house.
00:24:26What do you say?
00:24:28Aren't you a screenwriter?
00:24:30You gonna give him my treatment?
00:24:33He'll get it.
00:24:37Well, of course, uh, I'd much rather give it to him myself.
00:24:43It's been kicking my ass.
00:24:45Guess now it's my turn.
00:24:46Oh, oh.
00:24:51Oh, oh.
00:24:53Oh, oh.
00:24:55Oh, oh.
00:24:55That's pretty good.
00:24:56It's all good.
00:24:58Oh.
00:25:03Oh.
00:25:06Huh?
00:25:06Huh?
00:25:14He's trying to choke me up.
00:25:16He's just gonna go to sleep for a few minutes.
00:25:19I won't hurt your boyfriend.
00:25:20Oh, this fucking town.
00:25:23Do you give up?
00:25:24Well, it's like your boss said, personal secretary.
00:25:26I never give up.
00:25:28Brad, please, please don't.
00:25:29I'll be back in a few minutes.
00:25:32I'll be back in a few minutes.
00:25:32Mmhmm.
00:25:48Yes.
00:25:51Yeah, everything's fine.
00:25:57Really?
00:26:00Are you fucking kidding me?
00:26:05It's perfect.
00:26:11Yeah, I'll see you soon.
00:26:14Yeah, I love you too.
00:26:17Bye.
00:26:21Was that Sailor?
00:26:23Did she get the part?
00:26:25What the fuck happened up there?
00:26:28Yeah, I know. Sorry about that.
00:26:33Can we just put it behind us?
00:26:36Sorry? He fucking tried to kill me.
00:26:41Look, that's why I stopped drinking. I can be an asshole.
00:26:44Come on, don't take me so seriously.
00:26:47Bobby, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
00:26:49I'm gonna finish up this contract, then you can get out of here.
00:27:16It's the bottom latch.
00:27:17It's the bottom latch.
00:27:21It's the bottom latch.
00:27:32You don't know how to use a typewriter, do you?
00:27:35It was jammed.
00:27:45You know, Jack, tell me, what's your secret to writing?
00:28:00Wow, so what are you gonna do with your half of our Hollywood payday?
00:28:06I've got a better question for you.
00:28:08What makes you think that you can try throwing one of your screenwriting students off a rooftop and he'll still
00:28:13do business with you?
00:28:14Hmm, two words, I guess.
00:28:19Stephen Worthy, he produced one of my films.
00:28:30Contract's done.
00:28:31Well, it will be as soon as you sign it.
00:28:35If I sign this piece of paper, me and you, we're partners, right?
00:28:40And Stephen Worthy's really gonna read the script?
00:28:41Oh, absolutely.
00:28:44You know, you and me, we're not so different.
00:28:51I think I would do whatever it took to get that script, too.
00:28:55Mm-hmm.
00:28:59And he'll read it.
00:29:01Oh, yeah.
00:29:02When?
00:29:04Well, I can't say exactly when he'll read it.
00:29:06You can't?
00:29:08I'm not him.
00:29:10Yeah, I know that, but you say he's gonna read it because he sends you Christmas cards?
00:29:13I know, he's gonna read it because I wrote it.
00:29:16You didn't write it.
00:29:17Did you?
00:29:21Remember, Jack.
00:29:23My name's gonna be on that title, too.
00:29:26Hijack.
00:29:27By JFK, Ari Amar, and Bobby Blue Day.
00:29:33You know, I'm amazed that you don't want your name on it first.
00:29:36Oh, well, yeah.
00:29:37I had that argument in my head, but I thought I'd save us both a little bit of trouble.
00:29:42Wait a minute.
00:29:43Stephen Worthy knows you, not me.
00:29:45I'm not the one getting his reindeer cards.
00:29:47You are.
00:29:48So I think he's gonna be more receptive if he sees your name on it first.
00:29:51Probably would.
00:29:57Wait a minute.
00:29:59You really do believe in this thing, right?
00:30:01I mean, because in class you said every script needs a rewrite.
00:30:05Hmm.
00:30:06Yeah.
00:30:08Phew.
00:30:08This one doesn't need one.
00:30:11So you couldn't even make it a little bit better?
00:30:14Not this one.
00:30:17Where'd you get it?
00:30:19The idea.
00:30:20Yeah.
00:30:21Yeah, the idea.
00:30:23Where did a kid like you come up with such a profoundly symphonic script like that?
00:30:33Well, I saw the cover page staring up at me and it spoke to me, you know?
00:30:38Hi, Jack.
00:30:42Kudos on writing the title page.
00:30:44And the rest of it?
00:30:46Like you told us in class.
00:30:48Never show your hand.
00:30:53Who wrote it, Jack?
00:30:58I wrote it.
00:31:00Like you used to be able to.
00:31:03Let's not fuck it up.
00:31:06Hijacked by Bobby Blue Day and John F. Kennedy R. Amari.
00:31:11Unless you prefer by Bobby Blue Day and Lee Harvey Oswald.
00:31:16Now, who wrote it?
00:31:18I did.
00:31:19I've read everything you've ever written and it doesn't belong to you.
00:31:24Now, who wrote it?
00:31:27A guy?
00:31:29A guy.
00:31:30What guy?
00:31:32What guy? Where'd you find him?
00:31:35Where?
00:31:37Online.
00:31:39And what happened?
00:32:00Clive.
00:32:02Clive Mimsby.
00:32:04Finally.
00:32:06Put a face to the name.
00:32:08I hope my face is alright.
00:32:10Guess what I have to do for now.
00:32:12Oh, indeed, sir.
00:32:14You're the producer?
00:32:15Yeah.
00:32:16Thanks for driving here in such short notice, Clive.
00:32:20Oh.
00:32:21My pleasure.
00:32:21It really is, yeah.
00:32:24And you found your way already?
00:32:26Oh, it was, um...
00:32:28Quite a journey.
00:32:30Quite a journey.
00:32:30I took a wrong turn.
00:32:32I wound up in a place called Far Rockaway.
00:32:36Have you been there?
00:32:37It's quite nice, yeah.
00:32:40Kind of reminded me of, um, East London.
00:32:43Oh, yeah, that's right.
00:32:44When you replied to my ad, you mentioned you're a native New Yorker.
00:32:48Me?
00:32:51Christ, no, mate.
00:32:53I'm from the British Isles.
00:32:56Everything must be real different.
00:32:58Especially the entertainment business.
00:33:00Yeah.
00:33:01I don't know a soul in this town.
00:33:03I can't exactly say I know the rules at all yet.
00:33:08I feel for you.
00:33:09Oh, do you?
00:33:11Oh, bless you, Mr. Um...
00:33:14Ruby!
00:33:15Have I got your name?
00:33:16Yeah, that's right.
00:33:18I'm Jack Ruby.
00:33:20Can I get you something to drink?
00:33:36Oh, thank you.
00:33:39Would you like some cream?
00:33:41Oh, no.
00:33:41I like to taste my coffee.
00:33:46About Hijack.
00:33:48Oh.
00:33:49There's not really much to say.
00:33:51I wrote Hijack and then...
00:33:53I wrote it from the heart.
00:33:56It's not too bad, is it?
00:33:58I'm curious, um...
00:34:01The copy you mailed me, it didn't look like it came off a laser printer or any other kind of
00:34:06printer.
00:34:06You're absolutely spot on.
00:34:09My first week in Jersey City, someone broke it and it'd be laptop.
00:34:15I wrote Hijack and then I wrote Remington.
00:34:19Can you believe it?
00:34:21It's unbelievable.
00:34:22I sent you my only copy.
00:34:26Have you bought it with you?
00:34:31I wanted to hold on to it.
00:34:34And the reason why is because we're interested, Clive.
00:34:38Very interested.
00:34:40Oh.
00:34:41So, um...
00:34:42I can't have it back and, uh...
00:34:44Put it in me satchel.
00:34:46I paid for a copy.
00:34:47It's safe and sound in our offices in Manhattan.
00:34:50Oh, lovely, lovely.
00:34:52But, um...
00:34:54You're awfully young to be a producer.
00:34:56Well, pardon me for that observation.
00:34:58Sauerberg ran Universal at 20.
00:35:01True, true.
00:35:02I've never heard that.
00:35:03But true.
00:35:05But you look all of, like, 15.
00:35:10It may be the reincarnation of Sauerberg's kid brother.
00:35:13That's it.
00:35:14Yeah, yeah.
00:35:16I like how you think, Mr. Ruby.
00:35:17You're very creative.
00:35:20That's what it takes in this business.
00:35:22Creativity.
00:35:23Oh, my word.
00:35:25Isn't that the truth?
00:35:26Um...
00:35:27Do you really think my script's got potential?
00:35:29It's not too bad, is it?
00:35:31It is all right.
00:35:33You think it's rubbish?
00:35:35Please, you can't spare my feelings.
00:35:37It's not too bad.
00:35:39Has anyone seen it?
00:35:41The movie?
00:35:42Have you thought it yet?
00:35:43You'd have to sign a contract first.
00:35:45I'm speaking about the script, Claude.
00:35:47Has anyone else seen the script?
00:35:51I didn't send it back to East London.
00:35:53They just told me to come home.
00:35:54No girlfriend, no teacher.
00:35:56Oh, no.
00:35:57Nothing like that.
00:35:58I live in Jersey City.
00:36:00Where you don't know a soul.
00:36:02I did have this great desire to share it.
00:36:04So I went online.
00:36:06Do you think I did right?
00:36:08You met me.
00:36:10And I'm so grateful.
00:36:12So eternally grateful.
00:36:15Do you think I can have my script back?
00:36:16Well, after you shoot the movie.
00:36:18What about registration?
00:36:19Oh, what about it?
00:36:22Oh, yes.
00:36:24It's all in order.
00:36:26I've got a clean driving record.
00:36:28I just parked over there.
00:36:31Perfect.
00:36:33Script registration.
00:36:34We handle it.
00:36:35Oh, lovely, lovely.
00:36:37I mean, perhaps you can tell me.
00:36:40Besides, registering my script at the DMV.
00:36:43Would I have to copyright it?
00:36:45Talk to the government?
00:36:46Or would a policeman know?
00:36:50That's a brilliant question.
00:36:53And the answer is, you can only copyright books.
00:36:58If you copyright a script, they can slap it with a big fine.
00:37:02You know, for wasting time.
00:37:07Goodness me.
00:37:09I am...
00:37:10I'm glad I didn't do such a thing.
00:37:13Me too.
00:37:15You must excuse me.
00:37:17I must go to Lou.
00:37:34I am, good to go.
00:37:37Bye, bye.
00:37:44I'm really happy.
00:37:52Just a quick note.
00:38:00I'm happy to talk to you.
00:38:03I'm happy to talk to you.
00:38:18Please, God, please, please, God.
00:38:21Please, God, please.
00:38:32Do you think that was terrible?
00:38:34You don't think I was a bad bloke for doing that.
00:38:36I needed the work, you see.
00:38:39She was looking for a person to write her a script that died on the operating table.
00:38:43That sort of long tunnel, white light, and all that bollocks, yeah.
00:38:47I was terrible, really.
00:38:49I said to her, I've flatlined for 15 minutes, and while I was dead, I looked down from the ceiling.
00:38:56But then, they revived me, just like Yad was looking for.
00:39:03Then she says to me, she says, if I flatlined for 15 minutes, I'd be a bleeding vegetable.
00:39:11I lied, you see, just because I wanted to work, you see.
00:39:15It don't pay to lie.
00:39:16I didn't get it.
00:39:17It was all total and utter bollocks.
00:39:21For that long, 15 minutes.
00:39:23I was terrible.
00:39:30I barely touched your coffee.
00:39:33Oh.
00:39:36Oh, lovely.
00:39:42Hey, Clive.
00:39:47Can I ask you a question?
00:39:51Can you, uh, give me a ride to the bus stop?
00:39:57I bet you should attend the bus.
00:40:00I'm not a serial killer.
00:40:19I'm sorry.
00:40:24I think the industry, get lots of crooked people in the industry.
00:40:29They're not very nice, you know, crooked.
00:40:38Are you okay?
00:40:41I'm sorry.
00:40:48I hear you right now.
00:40:54I think they'll do it.
00:41:20I can't, I can't, I think I need to go, I think I need to go outside, I'm gonna, I
00:41:27don't feel, I don't, I'm not, oh god, I think, I think it's, I think it's, I think, something
00:41:39I hate, I think, I need to sit here, I need to get out, I'm okay, hold on, you're alright,

00:44:58Hello?
00:45:15You break it, you own it.
00:45:25Stay put.
00:45:29Thank you, sir.
00:45:31It's been running all day.
00:45:32I just need a place to...
00:45:33A man on the go.
00:45:36I guess.
00:45:38Why all the running?
00:45:40What's that?
00:45:40I said, why are you running?
00:45:44I just need to get to a store before it all closed.
00:45:47Looks like you got here.
00:45:50Joey.
00:45:50Joey the junk man.
00:45:52This is my shop.
00:45:53I sell junk.
00:45:56So, kid, let me see if I can assess out the situation.
00:46:01You're running around like a speed demon all over town, trying to find this thing.
00:46:06That you are trying to find.
00:46:07Because it ain't easy to find this thing.
00:46:11It could be that it's rare and a collectible.
00:46:15Or it could be it don't exist.
00:46:18Oh, it exists.
00:46:20How do you know?
00:46:21I know.
00:46:22Ain't it refreshing to meet a young person with true faith.
00:46:27That depends.
00:46:29You got a typewriter?
00:46:31What type?
00:46:32Old type.
00:46:33Do I have any old typewriters?
00:46:36Hey, kid.
00:46:37Are you a writer or are you planning on writing something?
00:46:40Yes, I already did.
00:46:41I mean, I am.
00:46:42Oh, you wrote something.
00:46:43And now you need a typewriter.
00:46:46Isn't that kind of ass-backward, Sonny?
00:46:48I handwrite first.
00:46:49That's how the pros do it.
00:46:50Oh, it's a shame.
00:46:52Never heard that.
00:46:54So, you are a writer and you've written a book.
00:46:57No, I've written a script.
00:46:59Right.
00:46:59And now you need a typewriter.
00:47:01But it has to be an old typewriter.
00:47:03Any type of old typewriter?
00:47:05A Remington.
00:47:06A Remington.
00:47:07The old war horse.
00:47:10Hmm.
00:47:12But just not anyone, sir.
00:47:14Joey.
00:47:15Joey the junkman.
00:47:17I checked it.
00:47:18I need one that was manufactured between 1933 and 1941.
00:47:23Hmm.
00:47:23I see.
00:47:25You are that type of a writer.
00:47:27Huh?
00:47:28A pain in the ass of a writer.
00:47:29What's it to you what are you that made a fucking thing?
00:47:33Sir.
00:47:34Junkman.
00:47:36I read a book.
00:47:38You know, how to make a perfect script better.
00:47:40And in that book it told me that I needed to use that kind of typewriter.
00:47:46What, you don't believe me?
00:47:48You can do better than that, kid.
00:47:53Joey.
00:47:55Mr. J.
00:47:57You know, since I like you and stuff, I'm going to give you some insider information.
00:48:03You know, my screenplay, it's about this guy who kills another guy to get a script.
00:48:09And, uh, you know, he needs to find an old typewriter to match that screenplay so he can put his
00:48:15name on it.
00:48:18Now, that is pretty fucking clever.
00:48:24It's called Hijack.
00:48:25Good title.
00:48:27Yeah.
00:48:27Just don't tell anybody.
00:48:29What am I going to tell?
00:48:33What is it?
00:48:36Last time I saw it.
00:48:44Oh, there it is.
00:48:46That's the beauty.
00:48:51It's a Remington.
00:48:53Or rather, a Remington Rand.
00:48:57WWII Vintage.
00:48:59World War II.
00:49:00They call it the Quiet Model.
00:49:04Could I have a piece of paper, please?
00:49:06Sure.
00:49:09Here.
00:49:12Take it for a spin.
00:49:16Thanks.
00:49:22Oh, excuse me.
00:49:40I'll buy it.
00:49:42You've got to love a happy customer.
00:49:47I know one guy that's going to sleep like a baby tonight.
00:49:50Come into my office.
00:49:52Wait a second.
00:49:53We didn't even talk about prices or costs or anything.
00:49:56I mean, how much is that?
00:49:59You tell me, Clive.
00:50:03It's not my name.
00:50:05Oh, sorry.
00:50:06I just saw it on the script.
00:50:07I have eyes like I don't know what animal.
00:50:10Yeah.
00:50:10That's my co-writer.
00:50:11I'm Lee.
00:50:13Okay, Lee.
00:50:13A saw buck.
00:50:17What the hell is a saw buck?
00:50:18Ten bucks.
00:50:22Just ten dollars?
00:50:23I'm supporting the arts.
00:50:26Besides, confidentially.
00:50:28This ain't my main gig.
00:50:30It's not.
00:50:31No, it's not.
00:50:32Don't tell it one, Lee.
00:50:34I'm a made man.
00:50:37I've done hits from Buenos Aires to fucking Prague.
00:50:40And now, I'm enjoying my golden years.
00:50:45Leaving a life of leisure.
00:50:47Like you will.
00:50:49After that book of yours.
00:50:53Thank you so much.
00:50:55Thank you so much, sir.
00:50:58Good doing business with you.
00:50:59Have a good day, Lee.
00:51:03Have a good week.
00:51:29Have a good day.
00:51:49Have a good day.
00:52:13You're looking good, man.
00:52:15Good job.
00:52:20You got a dollar.
00:52:22Come on, just one dollar.
00:52:24Fuck off, man.
00:52:25Good job.
00:52:26Good job.
00:52:27Good job.
00:52:31Give me the case.
00:52:34Please.
00:52:37Oh, don't start crying now.
00:52:40It's not your fault, kid.
00:52:41You just took a long turn.
00:52:48Come on, kid.
00:52:48I don't have all night.
00:52:54You ready?
00:52:56Just give it to me.
00:52:58Here you go.
00:52:59Come on.
00:53:00Come on.
00:53:02There you go.
00:53:05Good job.
00:53:07Good job, kid.
00:53:12So you got it.
00:53:15You got it.
00:53:27I got it.
00:53:29I got it.
00:53:34I got it.
00:53:38You're not acknowledging the true hierarchy of the situation here, right?
00:53:44I'm at the bottom. I'm trying to mug you, you moron. Get it?
00:53:50Yeah, I get it.
00:53:53Come on, can I just please have my bowling ball back, sir?
00:53:59I'll cut you.
00:54:08So what's in the case?
00:54:12A typewriter.
00:54:16What am I going to do with a typewriter?
00:54:18Nothing. It's worthless to you, so can I please have it back?
00:54:24Come on, man. You're really going to kill me over a typewriter? I mean, come on.
00:54:30Give me the envelope.
00:54:33What do you mean?
00:54:35I mean, give me the envelope.
00:54:39You're stoned, man.
00:54:46You're ready to die for this?
00:54:49A little reckless for a stack of papers. Don't you think?
00:54:55Not as reckless as stabbing needles in my arm.
00:54:58Oh, well, thanks for the health tip, asshole. I never touch needles.
00:55:02So what's in this?
00:55:09Hi, Jack.
00:55:11Well, that about sums it up, doesn't it?
00:55:14By Clive Mimsby.
00:55:17Is that you?
00:55:18Yeah.
00:55:19You wrote this?
00:55:34It's a bloody piece of shit script. I don't even know why I carried it around.
00:55:39Listen, I'll pay you for the typewriter.
00:55:43I just mugged your ass, and now you want to buy it back for me?
00:55:47I like that.
00:55:50Listen, I'll give you $10.
00:55:52You can buy some smack and a couple dirty needles, huh?
00:55:55First of all, I don't like your condescending attitude.
00:56:00Second of all, I told you, I don't do needles.
00:56:06So, how much did you pay for the typewriter?
00:56:10I paid $50.
00:56:12Come on, man, just give me a bargain here.
00:56:14I mean, you're already basically ripping me off, and plus $10 is all I got in my wallet.
00:56:20Give me your wallet.
00:56:24Oh, come on, man.
00:56:25Give me your wallet.
00:56:29It's not a negotiation.
00:56:37$200.
00:56:39Nice.
00:56:40I'll take that, and I'll take the typewriter.
00:56:45Good job, kid.
00:56:47Thanks.
00:56:53Come on, man.
00:56:54I mean, I...
00:56:59You just took $200.
00:57:00Can I just have it back, please?
00:57:03You know what?
00:57:05I might just give you a typewriter back.
00:57:08If you give me those shoes.
00:57:11Are you serious?
00:57:13Take them off.
00:57:20I hope I never run into a shyster like you again.
00:57:23Bobby Blue Day would not look kindly on this.
00:57:26Who the fuck is Bobby Blue Day?
00:57:27He's my brother.
00:57:29You know what he does for a living?
00:57:31He's a bounty hunter.
00:57:32They're making a reality show on him right now.
00:57:38He's so full of shit, kid.
00:57:41I think I might just have to look at that script of yours.
00:57:44He's...
00:57:49Go get this hands up.
00:57:52Yeah, M.G.
00:57:54You're waiting.
00:58:05You're waiting.
00:58:12I'm waiting.
00:58:23Did you really write this?
00:58:26Yeah.
00:58:35You know what, kid?
00:58:41Just take your damn script and get out of here.
00:58:45What?
00:58:46You want it in writing?
00:58:49Just take it.
00:58:50Come back, kid!
00:58:51I need your help!
00:58:53Stop!
00:58:54I need your help!
00:58:55Come back!
00:58:56Come back, kid!
00:58:57No!
00:59:03Kid, I need your help!
00:59:27I'm sorry!
00:59:30I'm sorry!
00:59:30You're right!
00:59:30I have a lot of friends that have been.
00:59:30I'm not sure if you're a little bit of a new one.
00:59:31I'm not sure if you're a little bit of a new one.
00:59:35I'm not sure if I can't do anything.
01:00:10I left them behind the steering wheel, sleeping like a baby.
01:00:17That was probably the hardest walk of my life.
01:00:22And that is how I got it.
01:00:24Along with a vintage Remington typewriter of a model to match the screenplay hijack.
01:00:36Wow, imagine that.
01:00:43Teach, Sailor's gonna be here soon. Don't you just wanna go so we can figure it out tomorrow?
01:00:58No. No, you're gonna sign it. We're gonna figure it out right now.
01:01:05I can't.
01:01:11Why not? I mean what is it? You don't own it? You stole the fucking script!
01:01:19I can't. I wrote day and night, but nothing came.
01:01:28I may not have written hijack, but I worked my ass off to get it. It's mine.
01:01:35And aren't you gonna tell me all I gotta do to write a slick script is take your course?
01:01:41I've done it.
01:01:43I took your course.
01:01:46And I've been taken.
01:01:48Ah, I see.
01:01:49So what you did to the writer is teacher's fault.
01:01:53Hmm.
01:01:55In a way.
01:01:57Oh, I gotta shoot you right now.
01:02:00Maybe so.
01:02:02Oh God, you've really complicated things.
01:02:05I walked through that door today and I figured that you'd written hijack.
01:02:11You know, they really oughta pull my credentials as a teacher.
01:02:14I don't even know what I was fucking thinking.
01:02:18You didn't, did ya?
01:02:22All part of the hero's journey.
01:02:24Yeah.
01:02:26All part of the fact that I'm looking at some serious choices here, aren't I?
01:02:32Whoa, whoa. Teach, who you calling?
01:02:34Would you just relax?
01:02:36Check on the time.
01:02:38When did Saylor say she's getting back here?
01:02:41I don't remember.
01:02:42In fact, what about class tonight?
01:02:46My God.
01:02:47Class is over.
01:02:49Don't you get it?
01:02:51You're on borrowed time here.
01:02:53Anybody that's seen you on the street corner spinning your little fucking sign would say,
01:02:57Hey, this guy's long overdue.
01:03:01It's true.
01:03:04But I don't wanna die, Bobby.
01:03:06You know, I know you don't wanna hurt Saylor.
01:03:29Just sign it.
01:03:51Would somebody like to help me?
01:03:59I got you some soda, Mr. Day.
01:04:02Mr. Day.
01:04:03I had a pretty good audition.
01:04:06I was gonna buy champagne.
01:04:09Hey, what's going on?
01:04:12Oh, okay. The callback. You gotta love it.
01:04:15I mean, I think I live for callbacks.
01:04:17Even when I don't ultimately get it, you know, the job.
01:04:20Who doesn't take on hope?
01:04:21But what happened today, Jack, Bobby, I never saw it coming.
01:04:26Okay, I go in, read again.
01:04:28Not just for the casting guys.
01:04:30This go-around, the producers are there, too.
01:04:32I look up for my sides.
01:04:35They love me.
01:04:37What can I tell you?
01:04:38This whole project, I mean, they've definitely kept it on the low-low
01:04:41on a totally need-to-know-even-then-they-won't-tell-you basis.
01:04:44I mean, nobody's seen the full script.
01:04:46In Hollywood, that's how they do it.
01:04:49Anyways, the part that comes next, Jackie, I told you on the phone.
01:04:52Bobby, this will blow you away.
01:04:55I've got the roll.
01:04:57Just one last hoop to jump through, you know, but fine.
01:05:00I'm down for whatever.
01:05:01That's when the exec producer walks over to me,
01:05:03lays his hand on my shoulder and says, smooth as silk.
01:05:07Sailor, we'd like you to talk with the director.
01:05:09I'm like, do you want to set something up for next week?
01:05:12The dude hands me the phone.
01:05:14That's how they do it.
01:05:15I think he's got the director on speed dial or something.
01:05:18He puts the phone right up to my ear and a voice says to me,
01:05:24Sailor, it's Steven Worthy.
01:05:28I mean, he and I talk and we talk and we're totally vibing.
01:05:32And I told him about hijack.
01:05:34So, you know, first I said, Steven, this whole script you want to write,
01:05:38you know, your slides, the three pages, they're awesome.
01:05:42But may I pitch you something?
01:05:44He says to me, are you alone?
01:05:45I think I took the phone in a closet or something.
01:05:48He listened very quietly.
01:05:49He asked very few questions.
01:05:50He said, this is the best pitch he's ever heard.
01:05:54And when I was done, he told me to get it registered and not to tell a soul.
01:05:59Did it sound like he was going to blab on his end?
01:06:01Oh, no way.
01:06:03He just asked me to send it.
01:06:04He gave me this address on some hoity-toity street.
01:06:07Don't worry.
01:06:08I got it.
01:06:10It's in Benedict Canyon.
01:06:11I know exactly where it is.
01:06:16Oh, that's what I did today.
01:06:19You don't have to do this, Mr. Day.
01:06:22We're just two little slackers and we don't mean nothing.
01:06:25We'll go along with anything you say.
01:06:28Wait, what the hell's going on?
01:06:31Well, if you're interested to know, he didn't write the script.
01:06:36What are you talking about?
01:06:37Hijack by JFK R.A. Mayer.
01:06:39It's right there on the title page.
01:06:42Why don't you tell her, class all-star, where'd you get the script?
01:06:56Here, boss.
01:06:57Fifty-fifty.
01:06:58Hey, hey, hey.
01:06:58Hey, you know what?
01:06:59Back off.
01:06:59You just back off.
01:07:01You got it?
01:07:03Since Sailor phoned you today, you knew you didn't need me anymore.
01:07:07Oh, come on.
01:07:09And what do you want me to do?
01:07:09You still want me to take you to him?
01:07:11Of course.
01:07:11Oh, really?
01:07:13You don't want it all?
01:07:14I signed the contract, didn't I?
01:07:16Oh, really?
01:07:17Yeah.
01:07:17Even if you meant it, which you don't, it wouldn't hold up.
01:07:21Because Worthy didn't get to where he is because he's a stupid guy.
01:07:25I don't need you and you don't need me anymore.
01:07:28Wait!
01:07:30Bobby, talk to me.
01:07:33I need you.
01:07:34Would you please stay out of this?
01:07:36Talk to me.
01:07:36Tell me what's going on.
01:07:38What are you doing?
01:07:41What I never should have stopped doing.
01:07:44I never should have let you push me away.
01:07:46What, are you crazy?
01:07:48Bobby, don't do this.
01:07:50Listen to her, Mr. Day.
01:07:52You know what?
01:07:52I should just put you to sleep right now.
01:07:54Bobby, I love you.
01:07:57Shut up!
01:07:59Has he told you, Jack?
01:08:01Has he told you about his script?
01:08:04Remember, Jack?
01:08:06In class, Bobby said he would show us how it's done.
01:08:10If we were writing, he was going to write a new script himself.
01:08:13And Bobby, you did, baby.
01:08:15It was a beautiful script.
01:08:18Beautiful.
01:08:19It was better than hijack.
01:08:21You're a fucking liar.
01:08:22It was better than hijack.
01:08:24It was better than anything.
01:08:26It was not.
01:08:27All right?
01:08:28It was a piece of shit.
01:08:30Do you understand?
01:08:31I threw it in the fire.
01:08:33No.
01:08:35It wasn't.
01:08:38I think what you need, Mr. Day, is a nice big glass of cola.
01:08:41Why don't I have Sailor go out and grab you some, huh?
01:08:45Bobby!
01:08:59You know, this reminds me so much of the times I was just knocking on office doors and they took
01:09:07from me what now belongs to them.
01:09:10And they told me that they would've and should've and could've, but they didn't.
01:09:18What if I was by your side?
01:09:22Where are you going with this?
01:09:24I mean, I'm good.
01:09:27You know, you know I'm good.
01:09:29Not good in a conventional sense, not like a good person, but come on, man.
01:09:33Give me some credit.
01:09:36Oh.
01:09:39You had your credit.
01:09:41And your 50%, but that negotiation has sailed.
01:09:46Look.
01:09:47Just look at the awesome script I got for you.
01:09:49In just weeks.
01:09:51Hijack.
01:09:52And I could find other scripts for you too, man.
01:09:54I mean, if you give me the time, I'm a gold mine.
01:09:57Well, back to the Treasure of Sierra Madre vibe, huh?
01:10:02There's money to be made, Bobby D.
01:10:04And how much makes it all worth it to you?
01:10:09You're thinking small.
01:10:12You're thinking real small.
01:10:21We can't be partners.
01:10:25What about hijack?
01:10:28Forget hijack.
01:10:30It's gonna get made with us or without us.
01:10:33Do you understand?
01:10:34The script is contagious.
01:10:36I mean, everybody just wants to be a part of it at any cost.
01:10:40It's killing everyone it touches.
01:10:44We have no deal.
01:10:45We gotta split up.
01:10:48We gotta go separate ways.
01:10:54I'm gonna go to Canada.
01:10:56And you, you need to go to Mexico.
01:11:00No, no, you'll never make it that far.
01:11:03You take a train north, I'm gonna head south.
01:11:08But what about the script?
01:11:10What are we gonna do with it?
01:11:13It's cursed.
01:11:15Just throw it in the fire.
01:11:18I'm gonna have a drink.
01:11:36Fuck Canada.
01:11:38I'm going to Hollywood.
01:11:38Thank you, sir.
01:11:39I'll be told someone.
01:11:42Then you have to use the day to go.
01:11:49I can move다.
01:11:56We're so ainda.
01:11:58I think it's strictly smart.
01:11:58I'm not going to be able to be on the night.
01:11:58We're so spoiled with no чего again.
01:11:58I think that's the best unique stuff.
01:11:58What you Jasmine should have done now.
01:11:59Probably.bol

01:15:04Thank you, you're very kind.
01:15:07It's the day.
01:15:08Boy, somebody fucked up real bad, didn't they?
01:15:12I'm under obligation to tell you that you're entitled to have an attorney present.
01:15:17I don't know.
01:15:18I do my own legal.
01:15:22What do you got?
01:15:23It's, uh, Pacino.
01:15:25Heat.
01:15:28What we got, Bobby, is the wrongful death of Salis Stewart, one count involuntary manslaughter.
01:15:35Or, uh, woman slaughter, so to speak.
01:15:40What we got, Bobby, is the death of John F. Kennedy, Arie Amer, one count first degree murder.
01:15:49And finally, in my own backyard, so to speak, what we got is the death of Brad Bradley.
01:15:57One count, first degree murder.
01:16:01Well, it sounds like you're having a really tough week.
01:16:07What if I told you I could make all your troubles go away?
01:16:17Well, let's just say that there are special interests who have taken a special interest in this case.
01:16:26And what I have to say, we'll never leave this room.
01:16:32I'm empowered to offer you a deal.
01:16:38No death by lethal injection.
01:16:41No jail time.
01:16:42The only time served will be six months of community service.
01:16:46And, uh, what would that be like?
01:16:49Well, picking up trash along the highway.
01:16:52Maybe working with disadvantaged teens.
01:16:54I don't get along with teens.
01:16:56Yeah, well, I'll see what I can do.
01:17:02So, if I'm understanding correctly and you're not fucking with my head, what does that mean for, uh, Bobby Blue
01:17:08Day?
01:17:14Your signature on this contract, extraordinary offer of clemency, granting an interest in your screenplay, hijack.
01:17:28Hijack.
01:17:32He's not going to be a professional.
01:17:36That's awesome.
01:17:39How much interest?
01:17:40100% all rights.
01:17:43Oh, I was really looking to hang on to the ancillary rights.
01:17:46Ain't going to happen.
01:17:48How's the deal, Bobby?
01:17:51And what do I get?
01:17:53You get to walk out that door.
