| [00:00.325] |
JOE: |
| [00:01.010] |
Girl meets boy |
| [00:02.890] |
That's a safe beginning |
| [00:04.446] |
BETTY: |
| [00:04.783] |
It's nearly closing |
| [00:07.186] |
I thought you weren't going to show |
| [00:09.566] |
JOE: |
| [00:09.751] |
So did I |
| [00:11.946] |
I felt it might be kinder |
| [00:13.629] |
BETTY: |
| [00:13.803] |
What are you saying? |
| [00:16.240] |
JOE: |
| [00:16.404] |
Come on, Miss Schaefer, you know |
| [00:19.050] |
BETTY: |
| [00:19.189] |
What? |
| [00:19.805] |
JOE: |
| [00:20.003] |
Every time I see some young kid |
| [00:22.544] |
Dreaming they'll produce a masterpiece |
| [00:25.564] |
I just want to throw them on the next train home |
| [00:30.184] |
BETTY: |
| [00:30.428] |
Never thought |
| [00:32.691] |
You'd be so condescending |
| [00:35.269] |
JOE: |
| [00:35.606] |
Sorry, Miss Schaefer |
| [00:37.846] |
I didn't come here to fight |
| [00:40.006] |
BETTY: |
| [00:40.262] |
Girl meets boy |
| [00:43.720] |
If that's how you want it |
| [00:46.321] |
She's a young teacher |
| [00:48.468] |
He's a reporter |
| [00:50.942] |
It's hate at first sight |
| [00:53.508] |
JOE: |
| [00:53.820] |
It won't sell |
| [00:56.166] |
These days they want glamour |
| [00:58.546] |
Fabulous heiress meets handsome Hollywood heel |
| [01:03.643] |
The problem is |
| [01:05.627] |
She thinks he's a burglar |
| [01:08.182] |
Would you believe it? |
| [01:10.225] |
A wedding in the last reel |
| [01:13.325] |
BETTY: |
| [01:13.521] |
It doesn't have to be so mindless |
| [01:15.983] |
You should write from your experience |
| [01:19.281] |
Give us something really moving; |
| [01:22.067] |
Something true |
| [01:24.006] |
JOE: |
| [01:24.202] |
Who wants true? |
| [01:26.722] |
Who the hell wants moving? |
| [01:29.183] |
Moving means starving |
| [01:31.784] |
And true means holes in your shoe |
| [01:34.164] |
BETTY: |
| [01:34.500] |
No, you're wrong |
| [01:36.961] |
They still make good pictures |
| [01:39.666] |
Stick to your story |
| [01:41.907] |
It's a good story |
| [01:44.682] |
JOE: |
| [01:45.379] |
O.K., Miss Schaefer |
| [01:47.700] |
I give it to you |
| [01:50.823] |
BETTY: |
| [01:51.381] |
What do you mean? |
| [01:52.367] |
JOE: |
| [01:52.681] |
Just what I said. I've given up writing myself. So you write it. |
| [01:56.500] |
BETTY: |
| [01:56.779] |
Oh, I'm not good enough to do it on my own. |
| [01:59.263] |
But I thought we could write it together. |
| [02:02.584] |
JOE: |
| [02:02.978] |
I can't. I'm all tied up. |
| [02:05.881] |
BETTY: |
| [02:06.241] |
Couldn't we work evenings? Six o'clock in the morning? |
| [02:08.400] |
I'd come to your place. |
| [02:09.444] |
JOE: |
| [02:09.979] |
Look, Betty, it can't be done. It's out. |
| [02:11.836] |
Look, let's keep in touch through Artie. |
| [02:13.856] |
That way if you get stuck, we can at least talk. |
| [02:15.784] |
Write this down |
| [02:17.397] |
I'll give you some ground rules |
| [02:21.078] |
Plenty of conflict |
| [02:23.237] |
But nice guys don't break the law |
| [02:26.138] |
Girl meets boy |
| [02:27.997] |
She gives herself completely |
| [02:31.038] |
And though she loves him |
| [02:33.082] |
JOE & BETTY: |
| [02:33.475] |
She keeps one foot on the floor |
| [02:35.856] |
BETTY: |
| [02:36.064] |
No one dies except the best friend |
| [02:39.119] |
No one ever mentions communists |
| [02:41.962] |
No one takes a black friend to a restaurant |
| [02:46.595] |
JOE: |
| [02:46.816] |
Very good. |
| [02:49.323] |
Nothing I can teach you. |
| [02:51.982] |
We could have had fun |
| [02:54.478] |
Fighting the studio |
| [02:56.242] |
BETTY: |
| [02:57.542] |
Yes, Mr. Gillis |
| [02:59.562] |
That's just what I want. |
| [03:02.117] |
ARTIE: |
| [03:02.302] |
What a nightmare |
| [03:03.637] |
Good to see you |
| [03:04.740] |
Come to my new year's party |
| [03:06.761] |
JOE: |
| [03:06.980] |
Last year it got out of hand |
| [03:09.477] |
ARTIE: |
| [03:09.662] |
Guaranteed bad behaviour |
| [03:12.101] |
JOE: |
| [03:12.239] |
See you then |
| [03:13.238] |
BETTY: |
| [03:13.541] |
Don't give up |
| [03:14.875] |
You're too good |
| [03:15.677] |
JOE: |
| [03:16.464] |
Thanks. |
