grabber. I think your investors are here. Oh, Jesus. All right, this is the plan. I want the limo guys to sit in the chairs, not over on the sofa. Got that? No, no. Keep the blinds open. I want the light in their eyes. I'll sit at the desk. Don't introduce me. Just start talking, and stand behind them as they sit down. You understand? They'll be looking at you, but they don't know who you are. They'll be saying, ''Who is this guy?'' But don't say anything. Do not tell them who I am. -I gotta say something. -No, you don't. Don't say more than you have to. Unless it's like... ''Glad you assholes stopped by. Now I can straighten you out.'' You're kidding, right? Just say the movie's been postponed a year but not why. Whatever you do, don't mention ''Mr. Lovejoy.'' You got that? All right. Let's go. -Hey, Ronnie. -Hey, Harry. Hi. -Bo. -Wow! What year is it? Did we enter a time warp? I feel like I'm in Hollywood of yesteryear. Have a seat. This is my associate, Chili Palmer. He'll be working with me. So there's no misunderstanding... in spite of the rumors you might have heard... your investment in ''Freaks'' is solid as the day you signed... your participation agreement. I can hear you, man, but where are you? Right here. What I've been wondering is, ''Where's he been?'' Where you been? We haven't heard from you lately. New York. I was interviewing actors, scouting locations. Main thing is ''Freaks'' is going to be delayed a couple months. -A couple months? -Yeah. Just a couple months. We need more... prep. Bullshit, man! We have an agreement with you. We are going to do this picture. I just have another project to do first. One I promised this guy for years. I want to see your books. Show me a two with five zeros after it. In black and white. I want to see your books. I want to see your fucking bank statements. 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, bro', but who the fuck are you? I'm telling you how it is. What is this other movie you're doing for us? -Let me show you. -Let me answer this one. 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 business what we do. Here it is right here. This is the project. ''Mr. Lovejoy.'' I don't want you to think I'm putting something over on you. ''Mr. Loveboy.'' What is it, a porno flick? It's fluff. You wouldn't be interested in it. You think we see your movies? I've seen better film on teeth. It makes no difference to me which one our money's in. Take our 20 points out of ''Freaks''... and put them in this ''Mr. Loverboy.'' No, I can't do that. You're positive? It's a different kind of deal. It's structured. Okay. Then be good enough to hand us our money back... or you think about us coming in on this new deal. Let us know. By Friday, or you're fucking 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 them something. Never say anything unless you have to. You asked me to get these guys off your back. Next thing I know, you're saying, ''Have a piece of 'Mr. Lovejoy.''' I couldn't believe my ears. I told them I'd think about it. In this town, what does that mean? Nothing. That's the difference between you and me, Harry. I say what I mean. If I want something from someone, I ask 'em straight out. If I want Martin Weir, I go get Martin Weir. I don't fuck around with his trainer's shrink. Shrink's trainer. Take me back to my car. - Tommo? Chili. - Where you been? I been calling all over for you. Ray Bones is looking for you. Where the hell are you? -I'm in L.A. now. -What are you doing out there?
