and Tyler, too." They're war slogans. We remember the slogans, not the wars. You know why? That's show business. That's why we're here. Naked girl, covered in napalm. "V" for victory. 5 Marines raising the flag, Mount Surabachi. You remember the picture in 50 years, but forget the war. The Gulf War, smart bomb falling down a chimney. 2,500 missions a day, 100 days. One video of one bomb. The American people bought that war. War is show business. That's why we're here. What do you do for the president? Why Albania? Why not? They gotta know at some point. Who? The public. They gotta know? Get with it. Who killed Kennedy? I read the first draft of the Warren Report. Says he was killed by a drunk driver. The Gulf War. What do you see day after day? The one smart bomb falling down a chimney. The truth? I was in the building when we shot that shot. We shot it in a studio in Falls Church, Virginia. 1l10 scale model of a building. Is that true? How do we know? You take my point? All right. You want me to do what? To produce. You want me to produce your war? Not a war. It's a pageant. We need a theme, a song, some visuals. It's a pageant. It's like the Oscars. That's why we came to you. I never won an Oscar. That's a shame, but you produced the Oscars. Indeed, I did. You're a writer, that's your script. You're a director, but if you're the producer... nobody knows what you do. The producer, all he's got is the credit. You see? And some plaques on the wall. They don't know what we do. Don't get me started. If you never won an Oscar... how would you like an ambassadorship? An ambassadorship? That's my payoff? Tell me what you want. I'd just do it for a story to tell. You couldn't tell anybody. I'm just kidding. - You couldn't tell anybody. - Just a figure of speech. It's a pageant. That's what it is. The country's at war. It's Miss America. You're Bert Parks. - Why Albania? - Because. What do we have that they want? - Freedom. - Why would they want that? - Oppressed? - Fuck freedom. They want to destroy the godless Satan. They want to destroy our way of life. All right? The president is in China. He is dealing with the dispatch of the B-3 bomber to Albania. Why? Why? Help me. Geo-politically... We found out they have the bomb. - That's good. - And... wait a second. The bomb's not there... because they'd have to have a rocket and that shit. They are a bunch of wogs. Cross that out. It's a suitcase bomb. I didn't know I said that. It's a suitcase bomb. You don't need missiles. You can put a bomb in a suitcase. That's good. A suitcase bomb. It's a suitcase bomb. When it's cooking, it's cooking. We're cooking, and it's in... Canada. All right? Albanian terrorists have placed a suitcase bomb... in Canada in an attempt to infiltrate it into the USA. - That's good. - That's terrific. I'll tell you why. It is cost effective. It's producing. That's what it is. - It's really great. - I could tell you stories. Cecil B. De Mille, The Greatest Show on Earth... he needs an elephant. I got the president on the line. One minute. Needs an elephant for a reshoot. Know what he does? Ames here. Yes, sir? You listening? - Nobody's listening. - I'm listening. - The suitcase bomb. - Good title for a movie. Please, write it down. Don't editorialize. The thinking is, terrorism. Act One: Albania denies everything. The president comes on the air, "Be calm." Know what I need? Get me Johnny Dean, Liz Butsky, and the Fad King. Isn't Johnny Dean in the... Back in Nashville. - Act Two. - We don't need an Act Two. ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Руслан и Людмила на английском - текст Посредник на английском - текст Чайка по имени Джонатан Ливингстон на английском - текст Девять дней одного года на английском - текст Шерлок Холмс и доктор Ватсон на английском |
