Hey, Ronnie. Look at me.
You have a piece of a movie,
not a piece of Harry.
If he wants to do another movie
this year, that's how it's gonna be.
Excuse me...
but who the fuck are you?
I'm the one telling you how it is.
Cat.
What is this other movie, Harry?
Harry, let me answer this.
First, who am I talking to, him or you?
You can talk to me.
That's what I thought.
Let me put it this way.
Outside of Freaks, it's none
of your fucking business what we do.
Whoa! Here it is, right here.
This is the project - Mr Lovejoy.
I'm not puttin' one over on you.
What is it, a porno flick?
It's fluff,
you wouldn't be interested.
You think we see your movies?
I've seen better film on teeth.
So how 'bout you just take
our 20 points out of Freaks,
and put 'em in this other one?
No, I can't do that.
You're positive about that?
Yeah, it's a different kind of deal,
it's structured...
OK. Then be good enough
to hand us our money back.
Or let us come in on this new deal.
Let us know.
By Friday, or you're fuckin'
dead as disco. You hear me?
Take your time, Harry.
We're not animals. Are we, Ronnie?
What?
What?
Maybe I wasn't clear, but I thought
I told you to keep your mouth shut.
I had to tell 'em something.
Never say anything
unless you have to.
You asked me to get these guys
off your back.
Then you offer a piece of Mr Lovejoy.
I couldn't believe my fuckin' ears.
I told them I'd think about it.
In this town, that means nothing.
That's the difference between you
and me, Harry. I say what I mean.
I want Martin Weir, I talk to Martin Weir,
not his trainer's shrink.
Shrink's trainer.
Take me back to my car.
Yeah?
Tommo. Chili.
Where you been?
I been lookin' all over.
Ray Bones is looking for you.
Where are you?
I'm in LA now. I'm going into
the movie business-producing.
What the fuck do you know
about makin' movies?
I don't think the producer
has to know much.
I gotta go. Call me
when you know more about Bones.
Hey, Karen, how you doin'?
What are you doing here?
Listen, I wanted to apologise
for breaking in last night.
You broke in again to apologise
for breaking in before?
No, your patio door was open.
You shouldn't do that.
Well, lock it on your way out.
You had a bad day, huh?
The director said I couldn't reach
the emotional core of the character.
What? Obviously he didn't see
Bride Of The Mutant.
You saw that one?
When you say to the alien mother
that her time on earth is finished,
Joan Crawford on her best day
wished she had the emotion,
the intensity that you had.
That was a good scene -
for a horror movie.
No, for any movie.
I know I'm better than walking round
in fuck-me pumps, waiting to scream.
Yeah, but what a scream.
It would be nice to get the chance
to say one great line.
Like when Bette Davis walks up
to the guy and says "I'd kiss you
but I just washed my hair".
How come you don't work with Harry?
Cos I married Martin Weir.
He was a full-time job.
- Have you read Harry's new script?
- No.
He says it's the best thing
he's ever read.
He means after Slime Creatures III.
Did Harry ask you to help him
put Martin in a movie?
Harry's dreaming
of a $40 million movie,
with a star he'll never sign
with or without my help.
He said Martin flipped over it.
Martin's known for his flipping.
When it's time to make a deal, he flips out.
Why don't I pick you up a script,
then you can read it yourself?
Don't go out of your way.
Nah, it's nothing.
Well, I gotta have a talk
with my runaway dry-cleaner.
See how your story ends.
Touch Of Evil's playing near my hotel.
We can check it out if you want.
Watch Charlton Heston be a Mexican.
That's all right. Another time.
See you around.
See you.
The fellow with a million smackers
And nervous indigestion
Hi. My name is Ray,
I'm a friend of Chili Palmer's.
Have you spoken with Mr Palmer
since your husband blew up?
Oh, once or twice.
What was it you talked about?
Nothing really.
