I'm way behind with my payments
I thought you were meant to be my agent
I need some work
MORINO: I only wish I could help
This town is dead at the moment
There's been this slowdown in production

Every major studio wants him
YOUNGER MAN: Playing one against the other

ALL: Good morning, Mr. DeMille
SHELDRAKE: This is Sheldrake
Bring some water. Get me that ****head Nolan
Nolan, sweetheart. Great to talk
This draft is so much brighter
You're the best
Even so
I've hired another writer
SECRETARY: Mr. Gillis
SHELDRAKE: Joe ! What the **** brings you here?
JOE: You wanted to see me
SHELDRAKE: I did? What about?
JOE: 'Bases Loaded.' It's an outline for a baseball picture
SHELDRAKE: So, pitch
JOE: It's about a rookie shortstop. He's batting .347.
The kid was once mixed up in a holdup. Now he's trying to go straight
SHELDRAKE: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I think I have read this
Somebody, bring in what we've got on...
JOE: 'Bases Loaded.'
SHELDRAKE: ...'Bases Loaded.'
JOE: They're pretty hot for it over at Twentieth
SHELDRAKE: Good!
JOE: But can you see Ty Power as a shortstop?
ENSEMBLE: Let's have lunch
BETTY: Here's that 'Bases Loaded' material, Mr. Sheldrake
I made a two-page synopsis for you, but I wouldn't bother to read it
SHELDRAKE: Why not?
BETTY: It's just a rehash of something that wasn't very good to begin with
SHELDRAKE: Meet Mr. Gillis. He wrote it
ENSEMBLE: We should talk
SHELDRAKE: This is Miss Kramer
BETTY: Schaefer. Betty Schaefer.
And right now, I'd like to crawl into a hole and pull it in after me
JOE: If I could be of any help...
BETTY: I'm sorry, Mr. Gillis, I couldn't see the point of it
JOE: What sort of material do you suggest? James Joyce? Dostoyevsky?
BETTY: I think pictures should at least try to say a little something
JOE: I see you're one of the message kids
I expect you'd have turned down 'Gone With the Wind'
SHELDRAKE: No, that was me
ENSEMBLE: Gotta run
BETTY: And I guess I was disappointed
I've read some of your other work and I thought you had some real talent
JOE: Yeah, that was last year. This year I felt like eating
BETTY: Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Gillis
SHELDRAKE:Thank you, Miss Kramer
Well, looks like Zanuck's got himself a baseball picture
ENSEMBLE: We should talk. Gotta run. Let's have lunch
JOE: You've got to give me some work
I'll take whatever's on offer
There must be some **** that needs a rewrite
Throw it my way
SHELDRAKE: I only wish I could help
There's no spare shit at the moment
Remember the greatest writers starved in garretts
Didn't care about pay
JOE: Are you trying to be funny?
SHELDRAKE: I believe in self-denial
Gives a man some moral backbone
JOE: Can you loan me three hundred bucks?
SHELDRAKE: I'm sorry, Gillis. Good-bye
