Every Movie's a Circus
Betty
I read one of your stories, wasn't it Scribner's, some magazines.
Title-something with windows
Joe
It was 'Blind Windows' if that what you mean
Betty
That's right, I really liked it
Joe
I'm all warm and runny inside
Betty
Let me pitch it to Sheldrake
Joe
I may be broke but I still have my pride
Betty
Come on, get off your high horse,
Writers with pride don't live in L.A.
Silence, exile and cunning, those are the only cards you can play
Joe
Sheldrake won't buy this story, he likes trash with fairy lights.
Jesus, think of the effort trying to get him to heighten his sights.
Betty
Every movie's a circus, can't we discuss this
Schwab's Thursday night?
Joe
What for? Nothing will happen,
I gotta go now, fight the good fight,
Betty
What's the rush?
Joe
See those Gorillas?
Betty
Yes, what about them?
Joe
Do me a terrific favor, keep them amused while I escape
Betty
If you're at Schwab's on Thursday
Joe
Done, look, those guys are after my car,
If I lose that in this town, it's like having my legs cut off
Betty
Let's duck into the soundstage
1st Fin
Hey, come on Gillis, give us the keys
Betty
Shhh! Please be quiet, Mr. De Mille is shooting right over there
1st Fin.
So what?
Betty
He's working on 'Samson and Delilah'
They're doing a red hot scene with Hedy Lamarr.
You want to stay and watch?
1st Fin.
No
2nd Fin.
Relax, we got five minutes
Both Fin. Men
Hey, hey, come back here...
Joe
What a lovely sight!
At the end of the driveway:
A great big empty garage.
This thing must burn up 10 gallons to a mile.
