ROCKET CAR
OVER THERE ACROSS
THE GORGE--
HOW HARD IT'S GONNA HIT.
SONNY, WHAT IS
HE TALKING ABOUT?
HE'S TALKING ABOUT $50,000
OVER AND ABOVE WHAT I'M GONNA
MAKE ON THIS PICTURE.
OH, IT'S JUST--
BESIDES, I CAN'T LET THAT KID
DO THE STUNT ALONE.
THE KID? WHAT IS THIS?
YOU'VE GOT SKI
IN THIS CRAZY THING NOW?
NO, GWENIE.
IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
THE KID'S GOT HIM.
WILL YOU BUTT OUT!
I TOLD YOU THAT KID
WAS GONNA GET YOU KILLED.
SONNY, YOU TOLD ME
YOU WERE QUITTING
AFTER THIS PICTURE
SO YOU COULD TRADE IT OFF
AGAINST DOING THIS STUNT,
ISN'T THAT TRUE?
I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING.
YOU'RE CRAZY, YOU KNOW?
I DON'T WANNA HEAR YOU--
GET YOUR HANDS OFF!
DUM-DUM JACKASS!
YOU SHUT
YOUR DRUNKEN MOUTH!
DON'T. YOU'RE MESSING UP
MY WARDROBE.
OH! SONNY!
172 MOTION PICTURE
FIGHTS,
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME
HE EVER HIT ME.
[DOOR SLAMS]
THAT SON OF A BITCH
CAN HIT.
CULLY,
I'M SO SORRY.
OH, HE DIDN'T MEAN IT.
IF HE'D HAVE MEANT IT,
HE'D HAVE HIT A LOT HARDER.
HE'S HURTIN', GWENIE.
HE'S GOT A LOT OF THINGS
ON HIS MIND.
OH, CULLY.
SONNY?
SONNY, WILL YOU
GO HOME NOW?
WHY?
PLEASE?
SONNY...
OOH, I'M SORRY.
SONNY, WHAT ARE YOU
TRYING TO PROVE?
LET ME ASK YOU
SOMETHING, DEBBIE.
THIS IS A BIG TOWN,
ISN'T IT?
LOS ANGELES
IS A BIG TOWN.
YEAH.
WELL, WHY THE HELL
DOES THIS BAR CLOSE
BEFORE THE BARS IN TULSA?
CAN YOU ANSWER ME THAT?
I DON'T KNOW, SONNY.
HEY, LET'S GO SOMEWHERE
AND HAVE SOME BREAKFAST.
YOU WANNA?
I CAN'T DO THAT.
LET'S GO SOMEWHERE
AND HAVE SOME LUNCH.
I CAN'T DO THAT,
EITHER.
WELL, LET'S GO SOMEWHERE
AND JUMP EACH OTHER'S BONES.
THAT IS TEMPTING.
YEAH.
IS IT?
BUT YOU KNOW WHY
I CAN'T DO IT?
WHY?
BECAUSE MY HUSBAND
IS SO JEALOUS
AND SO NEAR.
AND SO BIG.
SONNY--
HEY...WHEN
YOU GET SO DRUNK
YOU MAKE A PASS AT
DEBBIE IN MY PRESENCE,
IT'S TIME FOR ME
TO CALL YOU A CAB.
YEAH. DON'T CALL ME
A CAB. I AM A CAB.
YOU DON'T NEED
TO CALL ME A CAB.
I'M PERFECTLY ABLE
TO TAKE A...WALK
OR RIDE OR FLY
OR WHATEVER.
ANYTHING YOU WANT ME
TO DO, I CAN DO.
I'M JUST--I'M
TERRIFICALLY COORDINATED.
SO...BYE-BYE
AND SO LONG.

Roger:
YOU SAID YOU COULD DO IT.
I REWROTE THE SCRIPT BECAUSE
YOU SAID YOU COULD DO IT.
WE REARRANGED
THE SHOOTING SCHEDULE.
WE SPENT A DAMN FORTUNE
PREPARING FOR THAT STUNT
BECAUSE YOU SAID
YOU COULD DO IT.
Sonny: I WAS WRONG,
ROGER. I'M SORRY.
YOU WERE WRONG.
HE WAS WRONG, MAX.
HE'S SORRY.
HE BLOWS A WHOLE
GODDAMN MOVIE
AND HE SAYS,
"GEE, I WAS WRONG. SORRY."
OK, OK, NEW BUSINESS.
SKI DOES IT WITH
SOMEONE ELSE, THAT'S ALL.
WHY DON'T YOU
FORGET IT, ROGER?
I NEVER LIKED
THE DAMN GAG ANYHOW.
WHO ELSE
CAN DO THE STUNT?
BUDDY JOE
CAN DO IT.
HE'S NOT AVAILABLE.
WHO ELSE?
NOBODY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
NOBODY?
I MEAN NOBODY!
IT'S A VERY COMPLICATED,
VERY SPECIAL STUNT!
THERE'S MAYBE 3 GUYS IN
THE COUNTRY THAT CAN DO IT
AND WE'RE NOT AVAILABLE.
SKI'LL DO IT SOLO
WITH A DUMMY THEN.
GODDAMN, ROGER!
IF YOU KNEW WHAT THE HELL
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT,
YOU'D REALIZE IT TAKES
2 GUYS TO DO THE STUNT.
ONE GUY TO DRIVE THE CAR,
ONE TO READ THE INSTRUMENTS.
AND I'M TELLING YOU
THAT SKI ISN'T QUALIFIED!
MAX, DOES THIS MAN STILL
HAVE A JOB ON THIS PICTURE?
SONNY WORKS HERE
AS LONG AS I SAY SO!
OR AS LONG AS
SONNY WANTS TO.
THANK YOU,
MAX.
IF SONNY SAYS SKI CAN'T
DO IT, I BELIEVE HIM.
IT'S ONLY A DAMN MOVIE
ANYHOW, FOR GOD'S SAKE.
"ONLY A MOVIE"?
I WANT YOU TO CALL
THE STUDIO BRASS.
I WANT YOU TO TELL THEM
AND THEIR
