I had a couple of questions about a line.
But...
it was inconvenient, because...
- because... - You can do it.
Because I'd met someone else.
Oh, Ok.
- You believe that? - I do if you do.
But it's absurd.
So is our electoral process. But we still vote.
Wait.
Do you truly think the electoral process is absurd?
I used to go out with a politician.
You broke up with him?
Time for a change.
- Keep your margins straight. - Yes.
Don't worry about that permit.
That is right fine of you, Mr. Mayor.
Well... George.
- Morning, George. - Chunky.
Sherry, your brother's here. We're glad to have you here.
We're having a party, matter of fact, Tuesday night...
for Walt and Bob Barrenger.
Home cooked meal. If you'd like to join us...
I'd be awfully honored to be a part.
Where the hell have you been?
It's 9:15. I've been on the phone to...
Morning, Mrs. Bailey, Mr. Bailey.
- I have two days to get this house... - This is Mr. Rossen, the producer...
Oh, I'm so glad to meet you.
We're glad to have you here and welcome you to our...
Yearly, we redecorate to restore it to the original 1835 condition.
- What is that? - The house.
The original kitchen burned in 1960, as part of a spate of suspicious fires
which lead to the inspiration of the formation of the Waterford Huskies.
My, oh my.
How thoughtless of me. Would you like a cup of tea?
- George. I have to talk to you. - This is Mr. Rossen, the producer.
I want you to hear this, pal.
Forget the $10,000 for three days to two weeks.
You know what it would cost to build this town as a set? $6,000,000.
The Waterford Merchant's Association
demands through me, as their council...
five percent of the movie profits...
as geared to the most favorable definition of profits...
- of either the producer... - Counselor, I am sure...
no, I'm positive we can reach some accommodation.
I am thrilled and relieved to hear that. Thank you.
What did you have in mind?
- Don't say you don't have wallpaper. - I said by Wednesday...
Don't say you don't have wallpaper.
The biggest grossing box office star is coming to dinner on Tuesday.
- If you ordered something common. - I'll give you something common.
I'll give you an injunction, is what... Mr. Mayor? Mr. Mayor?
Why, you cheap little Heb.
Assembly of Death did 95 million dollars the first weekend.
Those grosses are inflated.
- You think so? - Look at the per-screen averages.
Hi Annie.
I'm sorry I haven't been to a meeting of the Drama Club.
Oh, that's too bad.
Hello.
- What's the matter? - I can't get it to come out right.
- What's the scene? - It used to be the old mill.
What've you got?
They meet on Main Street. Her horse has just died.
- He's coming from the fire. - You want something to eat?
What's the scene about?
I don't know anymore.
- Annie, have you seen Carla? - No.
He sees her on the street. He wipes the soot from his eyes.
He goes up to her.
'What happened to the horse? '
He... She looks at him.
- Yeah? - She takes his hand.
- I hurt your finger. - What happened to his finger?
It was burnt.
Then it was really hurt.
That's what she says!
He says: 'Sister, I've come from a fire. '
But she realizes...
it was not the fire which hurt him, that the true hurt was her.
- Was her... - Yes!
- Unbridled sexuality that he... - Yes!
Because it's about purity.
It's... It's...
And then you don't need the nude scene.
Because it's about purity.
Take any two people. Take you and me.
I've always thought so.
The finest people you could ever hope to work with.
Do you have the new Old Mill pages?
I can't find the writer.
Totally false. Totally false.
He is the most responsible human being I have ever...
- My wife is going to have a baby... - Not now.
Great. Let's bring more people into this overcrowded world.
Yes.
Yes, I know what you mean.
That's very true.
Take it off. Take off that stupid fucking shirt right now.
Take it off.
Well, if I had to say one thing...
I would say it's about purity.
- Miss Wellesley's bags, please. - Claire!
The plane is waiting.
I've written to the studio and to SAG, protesting.
Get a copy of that letter.
I am past chagrined. I am mortified at the way you were spoken to.
An artist of your caliber. When I read this script...
I said there's only one person to play that part.
The minute I read the script I said, 'She works with animals...
she has a home. '
A woman who... The community respects her.
Please don't go. Please don't go.
What can I do but beseech you? Trauma, toil. When...
All things must end.
You get an idea and try to find the best way to express it pictorially.
Claire. Claire.
As an interpretive artist to a creative artist, stay with me.
I need you. We start to shoot in two days, then it belongs to us.
Stay. Tonight when they've all gone, let's talk. Let's really talk.
We'll have dinner. A bottle of bad red wine. We'll eat spaghetti.
I'm sorry, Walt, it's gone beyond that.
Well, I've enjoyed it too.
I've always enjoyed your publication. Anytime.
What does that woman want from life?
She wants $800,000 to show her tits.
- Pay her off. - We don't have the money.
- Find it. - If you do the product placement.
It's a computer company. It's a computer company.
- Bazoomer Com?! - Bazoomer dot com.
I can't put a computer in a film shot in 1895.
- Tell me how! - The art department had some ideas.
No, no, no, no, no! Just pay her off!
Call Howie.
Give me Howie Gold.
I need eight hundred grand.
I don't care where it comes from.
It comes out of our end.
Well, that's a shock.
Just get me the money. Get me the goddamn money.
Hey, she doesn't show her tits.
She doesn't show her tits. Her breasts symbolize motherhood.
The breasts symbolize motherhood?
The movie's about purity.
We don't show her breasts. We show them to him.
She keeps her back to the camera.
- It'll hurt the box office. - They know what her tits look like.
Know? They could draw them from memory.
You are fantastic. What a find you are.
- I still need the dead horse scene. - I'm going to nail it.
- I know you are. Go you Huskies! - Go you Huskies!
- Mr. Rossen? - Yeah!
Thank you.
We got the permit.
Oh, my God. Catch the broad at the airport. Send her back here.
Catch the broad at the airport.
That Joe is one hell of a kid.
He just saved us $800,000.
- He's got a gift for fiction. - We got to do something nice for him.
You. Hey, come here. Turn around, turn around.
Get him a bottle of... Get him some maple syrup.
Stick this card on it. Put it in his room.
- Who? - Joe. The writer.
- Maple syrup? Yes, sir. - Grows on trees.
Actually it's an extract of the tree.
Oh, bullshit.
I see some of our buddies got a part in the movie.
Tom Miller's playing the old farmer.
He's been playing the old farmer nigh on 60 years.
I read for that part. Did pretty well too.
Bet you did.
But I couldn't remember all the words.
Asked if they'd give me a second chance.
- Ain't no second chances in life. - Is that true?
Only second chance we get,
is a chance to make the same mistake twice.
'The only... second chance...
is the chance... to make the same... '
You're going to be all right.
- So that happened. - Are you all right?
- Am I all right? - Yeah.
Well, I'll tell you something.
- We have to get her out of here. - Who?
- Are you all right? - What?
You got to get out of here.
All right.
No... you got to get out of here.
Ok.
But here's the kicker.
- Do you have a cigarette? - What?
No, forget about it.
He'll be fine, Howie. He got knocked around a little bit.
You'll be fine. I'll stop by tomorrow.
- Thanks for your help, doc. - Thank you, doc.
It's what I do for a living.
Seriously, doc, thank you for helping us out.
Believe it or not, son, I've seen it all before.
Howie wants to talk to you.
I'm fine. I'll be ready Wednes...
I'm here to make a movie, Howie. Don't worry...
When did I ever let you down bef...
Okay, babe. I love you too.
He wants to talk to you about the...
Howie, I'm calling you back, two minutes.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
The girl had to be home. I don't know, a school night...
Bobby.
Everybody needs a hobby.
Walt, could I take a moment of your time?
I need a day off. My wife is having a rough time.
Thank you for keeping me current.
Howie Gold, please.
Walt Price. I was just on with him.
- Walt... - He's fine.
If there's anything that I can do...
No, you've done it. Thank you, it'll be fine.
Howie, Walt here. I'm sorry, it's crazy.
No, he's a hundred and ten percent.
Got banged on the head. He got a shot of adrenaline.
What request for money?
Howie, what reque... That Marty...
Is Mr. Barrenger in there?
Howie, I'm going to call you right back.
It's really raining out there, officer?
It is. Could I see Mr. Barrenger, please?
Okay, look. What is she, 19, 20?
- Oh, Christ. - Look...
Look, you're driving, countryside, so on. You picked her up hitchhiking.
She hid in the back of your car. It happens all the time.
Could I see Mr. Barrenger, please?
We can't put her in the car.
She gets it in her head to sue, or rape...
- She wasn't in the car. - You were all alone.
- There's no witnesses. - No witnesses, right?
No, just Joe. Just Joe.
- Joe, the writer? - Just him and me.
Then she wasn't in the car. Say it.
She wasn't in the car.
- Mr. Barrenger? - Yes?
- I'm very sorry to... - What's the problem?
I have to ask you some questions.
You have a valid driver's license?
- Of course he has. - Could I see it, please?
- What? - Your driver's license.
Were you under the influence?
Oh, no.
And who was driving the car?
I was alone in the car. I was driving the car.
Well, now, Mr. Barrenger, I'm very sorry.
I'm as sorry as I can be, but...
I'm an attorney. If you have anything to say to Mr. Barrenger, say it to me.
I have to give you this ticket for damage to city property.
I'm really sorry, sir. It's a formality.
You have to what?
It's a formality. Any case of damage to city prop...
You hit the control box of the new stop light and
they'll send you a bill.
These things happen.
I hope you're feeling tip-top real soon.
Don't worry about that. But that's so sweet of you.
If there's anything I can do to make your stay more pleasant.
We appreciate your concern. Thank you.
Not at all. That's part of my job.
Yeah.
Hello, Mr. Mayor. Walt Price.
No, no.
He's fine.
Well, he's right here.
You are not to see that girl again. Do you understand?
Hello.
No, he's here. Would you like to...
Bob, are you all right?
- Hi. - Hi.
- Where you going? - Home.
Going home?
- I told them what you said. - What?
I told them what you said about the script.
- I was just talking out loud. - How else can you talk?
No, that's true.
I told them:
'You can't betray with the picture what you're saying with the words. '
And the movies should be socially uplifting.
Why does she have to show her...
- What is this? - Joseph Knight's print shop.
- Vacant for thirty years. - Is it?
Yep. And it's for sale.
You want to see it? I have the key in my store.
I'd love to.
How's your movie star?
Gosh, you look nice.
What?
So what will you do with the print shop?
It's wet out there.
Hey, slip into something more comfortable.
So what would you do with it? The print shop?
Start back up the Waterford Sentinel.
Waterford Sentinel?
Town newspaper. I got it all worked out.
- Show you the plans? - Sure.
'The Waterford Sentinel, the voice of the mountains. '
'You Shall Not Bear False Witness. '
- The press still works? - Did as of last week.
You printed the poster here.
Best way I know to get ink on your hands.
Well...
Oh, my. Life in the country.
The past comes to our rescue once again.
Yeah, you could print a newspaper here and...
That's something a man could do?
You know what else a man could do?
What?
One moment.
- Out you go. Don't come back. - Go home, Bucky. Go home, boy.
I left the keys inside in my jacket.
Well...
I suppose I... should be...
- heading home. - Evening, Annie.
- Evening, Cal. - Got an umbrella?
- No. - Well, that's all right.
You can have my coat. I'll walk you home.
Then you'll be wet.
I'm going off-shift. Come on, I'll walk you home.
People.
People, people, people.
Every movie must be about something...
and it's got to be about just one thing.
What is this movie about?
It's about what we said it was about.
We were lost, but now we're back on the right track.
Do you see? The movie is about purity.
I've always seen that.
We don't show your breasts. We show your reaction.
- I'm so comfortable with that. - Well, it was Joe's idea.
- You were exactly right. Great work. - Thank you so much.
We are not out of the woods I need that dead horse scene.
- I have Mr. Barrenger's Tuna BLT. - Thank you.
- I tried to take it to him in his room. - He's moved.
Well, I...
But, you know, what Walt said, Claire, it makes a lot of sense.
The audience isn't coming for your breasts
they're coming for your acting.
- What are you doing this evening? - Having dinner with Walt.
To discuss the script. Want to come?
- You mind? - Not at all, Bob. Are you kidding me?
Isn't she a trooper?
We're going to go have some local food, some roadhouse.
- Joe, you want to go? - I've got a date.
He's learned to write a movie...
and found some girl to curl his toes. You're a monster!
- Too kind. - Oh, quit your kidding.
- How's the dead horse scene? - You can't kill the horse.
Oh, fuck me.
Yes, I'm trying, honey. I'm...
Look, is your mom... When is your mom coming?
What did the midwife say?
- Did you get a dinner reservation? - What?
Where's my schedule? Where are we going to dinner?
- What's your problem? - My wife's having a baby.
Is that on the call sheet or is that personal business?
Christ. Marty? Are we paying you?!
She didn't finish knitting my sweater.
- Morning, doc. - Morning.
What are you doing here, Doug?
I thought you started the day with that pernicious caffeine.
Kiss my ass.
He's had a hard day.
Ann deserted him for some guy on the movie.
They don't always leave with who they come with.
Big day last night.
Hoped to tell you.
I picked the fragments of glass out of Bob Barrenger's actual head myself.
- Morning, Carla. - Morning, Uncle Ron.
- Morning, Carla. - Morning, doc. Morning, Doug.
Cluster of events. Don't see something ten year,
all of a sudden three times in a night.
Who got glass in their head?
What?
Who got glass in their head?
Bob Barrenger...
and another fellow who works on the movie. A cameraman.
You said three.
Did I? I think you're mistaken.
I wasn't in the car.
- We'll see about that. - She said she wasn't in the car.
No, Jack, it's time to rip the band-aid off.
Mister, you're going to jail.
I didn't know it was illegal.
I beg your pardon.
- Could somebody explain... - I'll turn this hotel upside down.
- Arrest him. - What's the problem?
- Arrest him. - For what?
Conspiracy in statutory rape.
Conspiracy in statutory rape? Okay, of whom?
- This young woman. - Nobody touched me.
- Who raped you? - Nobody.
Well, what's the beef?
She was in Bob Barrenger's car.
She was injured coming home from a love tryst.
- You were in the car with Bob? - No.
Then what is the...
Then what is this, you son of a bitch?
If you haven't heard about the laws of malicious prosecution, you're about to.
Don't flinch while I'm talking to you, you speedtrap shaigitz.
The kid wasn't in the car. She says she wasn't in the car.
You have no case and you know it.
I'm not playing patsy with you here, you motherfucker.
Look me in the eyes.
I made $11,000,000 last year and I don't like being trifled with.
The better part of valor is for you to step away.
Or you, your kids and your grandchildren will die in poverty.
What do you think?
We have a movie to make. Can we all pull together?
Have a cigar. There you go.
In a communist country, if one makes an accusation, this is what occurs.
It's a mistake. I'm sorry that we've inconvenienced you.
I wasn't in the car.
We know. We're all aware of that.
Because you treat me like a child.
You treat me like a child. That's why I can't come!
I'm out here in the middle of nowhere...
He took advantage of me.
- I'm a bit confused. - I'll straighten you out.
- Could you see these folks home? - Yes, sir.
She's upset and impressionable. Get me my law book and the mayor.
I was just talking to that girl.
- Overcome by recent events... - I never touched her.
The presence of a high-powered fantasy object.
- We were discussing the script. - You might want to get dressed.
I don't understand the problem.
Wally!
I want to go home.
- If somebody would enlighten me. - That's what I'm here for.
The criminal code has provisions...
Adolescence is a difficult time. A time of dreams.
Many young folks dream of Hollywood. I did.
And here Hollywood has come to you.
She said she was studying phonics.
Jack, I'll need her birth certificate.
- I swear that that girl in my room... - Be quiet, Bob!
It's called a script conference!
You have a fertile mind. We can use people like that.
You said you were doing your homework.
If that's not true, you're grounded...
- Can we get him home, please? - For weeks and weeks.
- I... - I don't think so.
If you think I'm fooling, wait until we're home.
There's a part in our movie...
Don't speak to the complainant.
There's a part in our movie, a young girl. Right, Marty?
Okay, here it is. Statutory rape.
At the beginning of any relationship...
Keep him away from me until the end of time.
'Unsupported testimony of the complainant's '
You travel with the statutes on rape?
Carla!
'Conflicting statements, a coerced accusation. '
You've got a worthless complainant.
You've got no witness puts her in the car, and you've got no backing.
- Maybe we better talk to the mayor. - Hello, Mr. Mayor.
- Is that the mayor? - It's an unfortunate...
Is he cool, or angry?
So today we got lucky.
If your memory was as long as your dick, you'd be in good shape.
How long since you almost went to jail?
I thought she liked me.
Can we try to keep our pants buttoned and leave this town in one piece?
- I'm ready. - Well, stay ready.
- And stay alone in your room. - What am I to do for fun?
Learn your lines.
- I know my lines. - You do?
I just don't know what order they come in.
I tell you what...
- let's ditch these cockamamie locals. - They play too rough.
Let's go to some roadhouse tonight. Just you, me and Claire.
We'll sit down, drink a bottle of wine.
Now you're talking.
Just get in the car and go some place.
Yeah, some place real.
You and me, pal.
- What are you doing for fun? - I went for a ride on a tractor.
- Get out. - No.
- Went for a ride in a tractor? - Yup. Last night.
Hey, Molly, would you get me a ham sandwich?
You got to eat a peck of dirt.
My wife just went into labor.
Half a buck I'd close it down. You know, it's perfidy.
You got your Barrenger, molesting little girls...
- He should be in jail. - Half a buck I'd put him in jail.
- You should. - With a witness I would.
A witness to what?
You know, to the rape. Even to the accident.
You mean with White?
What?
You need a witness including White?
- Who's White? - The writer.
- He saw the accident? - Sure.
- He saw the girl in the car? - You bet he did.
Well, that's what I'm talking about.
Don't you touch that.
Excuse me.
I want them gone.
- I signed the permit. - I want them thrown in jail.
Sherry.
I want them to starve to death in a hole and I'll piss on them.
What?!
Get me the state police.
The sleepy town of Waterford, Vermont,
where movie star, Bob Barrenger...
fresh from his troubles with the law last year, is again in hot water...
involved in a car crash with a very young woman.
Mr. Barrenger is being arraigned today...
for moral turpitude and other...
Make sure your facts are straight.
Step off the line, I'll sue you personally.
Bobby! Bobby!
- Where are you taking Mr. Barrenger? - We're looking for a Mr. White.
- What are you doing? - He's under arrest.
I'm his lawyer. And you must be Perry Mason.
You're about one-half step from a world of hurt.
How diverting. The mayor'll have your ass. Can I watch?
The mayor sent me. Your Mr. Barrenger has a history of...
- Of nothing. He was acquitted. - Moral turpitude. Why are you waiting?
- Don't say anything, Bobby. - Nothing happened.
You're on my home court.
The mayor and the town are behind me.
Forget your movie. I may own the studio when I'm through.
- I got a civil suit, rape, collusion. - You got nothing. No witness.
I have one. Mr. White saw the crime.
- He said that? - He didn't have to.
- I need to talk to him. - You're his attorney too?
- Later for you, pal. - Ok.
- Hey, Joe! - Marty!
Bob's in jail. Do that, I'll do this.
- What will you do? - Just go be with him.
Hi, pal.
I need to talk to you.
He'll give you a couple of minutes.
- What's it all about? - I saw the accident.
- How do they know? You told them? - No.
- What did you say? - I didn't say anything.
That's good. Come here.
That's very good.
Come here. Have a seat.
How do you know you saw it?
- I don't understand. - Perhaps you didn't see it.
- I saw it. I was there.
You were there? At 10:35?
I was walking down the street... and I remember...
I was writing...
What glasses were you wearing? Your reading glasses?
Don't you wear your reading glasses to write?
Isn't that what you told me? Hold on.
Yeah! Yeah.
I've got to go to the jail.
Be strong.
What am I going to do?
- You must say you saw the accident. - I can't do that.
If I tell them they'll try Bob for rape. It'll ruin his career.
- But that's what happened. - But they'll stop the movie.
Maybe there'll be other movies.
They'll blackball me.
Carla was in the car, right?
What am I going to do?
Lot of hubbub in the street. I'm taking you the back way.
Two minutes?
- You've got to help the side. - You want me to lie?
No. I want you to tell the truth.
You can't tell me to a certainty that you saw the thing.
You don't remember which glasses you've got on.
If you're not sure, they've got nothing and Bob walks free.
This is a roust. Everybody knows it.
The guy wants to make a name for himself.
If we let him do that, we're being false to our community.
You understand? To our world. You're a part of that world.
I got a five-picture deal. Stick with me, you write two more.
You stick with me, you'll direct the next one.
- The girl wasn't in the car. - We got to go.
Joseph Turner White.
Hear ye, hear ye.
Sixth District Court in and for the county of Kadona, Vermont.
The honorable James Flynn presiding.
All those with business before this court draw near. You will be heard.
Mr. White? This is a simple matter of...
All we need is a simple fact or two.
You'll give your recollections of the accident at State and Main.
Would you please swear him in?
Raise your right hand.
Do you swear to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
I do.
The arraignment of Bob Barrenger, star of The Old Mill...
about to begin shooting here in picturesque and sleepy...
Or we should say, formerly sleepy...
Yes, it's Claire Wellesley.
We're going to try to get a look at her. Let's go.
Stay with me. Stay with me.
- Morning, Doc. - Morning, Billy. Where you headed?
Down the corner, see the ruckus.
Watch the curbs, now.
Good morning.
Where you off to?
I'm leaving.
Why?
I perjured myself.
I told a lie and I ruined my life.
That's what I did.
I don't suppose you could help me with that?
To turn back the clock or something?
You know? Give me back my...
Give me back my purity.
I don't suppose you could wave your magic wand and do that?
For what is truth?
Isn't that the thing? What is true?
The truth is you never should trust anybody wears a bow tie.
Here.
A cravat's supposed to point down to accentuate the genitals.
Why do you want to trust somebody whose
tie points out to accentuate his ears?
Aren't you supposed to set an example for people?
Nope.
Just supposed to hold their hands while they die.
What'd you say your problem was?
Morning, Chrissy. How's the back?
I've ruined my life.
Isn't that funny that you can
actually do it in one moment just like they say?
I ruined my life back in that courthouse.
- What courthouse? - Courthouse back in town.
- Town ain't got no courthouse. - What?
Ain't got no courthouse. Courthouse burnt down, 1960.
Where do they hold court?
Hold court, they have to, science lab, the high school.
Morning, judge. What brings you down here?
Supposed to be hearing a deposition. Some fool saw that accident.
- Did the courthouse burn down? - Courthouse burnt down, 1960.
Part of a spate of fires: Old mill, courthouse...
Supposed to have been set by a deranged teenager.
Gave rise to the Waterford Huskies.
Train 53 taking off!
I thought you needed to get it out of your system.
The American system of jurisprudence differs from ours.
They have their Bill of Rights, equal, perhaps, to our Magna Carta.
- What are you going to do? - Tell the truth.
I'd like to address you on the responsibility of the prosecutor.
That job is not always a happy one...
but there comes a time, now and then, for the display of force.
So be it.
And now it falls to my lot to join the fray.
To join in battle and exterminate, by this criminal indictment...
to exterminate the vermin.
He's got toilet paper on his face.
And he's sweating like a pig.
Who spew filth and degradation. And who...
pollute...
Who pollute the minds...
We're going live in five minutes. Do you need to clean up?
Yes, thank you.
Did you get the feed? Are you getting the uplink?
- Do something. - You tell me what to do, I'll do it.
And I was just paying off my spread in Montana.
Excuse me. Sorry.
I'm here to give my deposition.
Joe, Thank God. It's up to you, pal.
- I'm out. - I don't get you.
The girl was in the car.
I treated you like a son or a nephew.
- It's not about you. - What's it about then?
I have to tell the truth.
That is just so narrow.
The girl was in the car.
- You're finished in show biz. - So be it.
- We'll sue you for a billion dollars. - What cause?
I don't need a cause. I just need a lawyer.
- I'm a lawyer. - Howie.
Howie, what are you doing here?
I just flew seven hours because you asked me here.
- What for? - For this.
I hope you need it, because it came out of your budget.
Hi...
I'd prefer if you didn't speak to me.
You know...
nothing you could say could make a difference.
So why not just save your breath?
Ok.
You forgot your case.
That's not my case. That's your case.
It's mine? What did I put in it?
Eight hundred thousand dollars in cash.
And what was it you wanted to say?
Good Yontef.
I'm supposed to give my deposition.
The judge will be with you in a minute.
- I might have to go to jail. - I'll knit you a sweater.
I might be in there a long time.
I'll knit you a jumpsuit.
Well, Ok, Ok then...
I've come to give myself up.
- Hi, Annie. - Hiya, Judge.
- Good to see you. - I've come to give myself up.
You'll have to give yourself up to someone else.
I'm going to get in some golf.
Why don't you give yourself up to her?
That's what I'd do if I were you.
I have learned a lesson. And the lesson is this:
Everybody needs a second chance.
You, me, and these fine film people here.
You know, they have a high-profile...
but that doesn't mean they don't deserve our trust...
and our respect.
I think there's a lesson here.
And the lesson is this: It is a lesson of tolerance.
And as we look at this industry...
as we look at this clean, American industry...
and as I begin my campaign for Congress...
in my aspiration toward that city on a hill...
I would like to say this...
This is picture! This is picture!
- Roll camera. - Speed.
The Fires of Home. Scene one, take one. Marker.
- Background action! - Action.
Hold still now.
That fire got a little bit exciting last night, eh, Frank?
That's their nature.
Without a little excitement, wouldn't life be dull?
That it would. That it would.
Hey, Doc, what do I owe you?
You quit your kidding.
Nate, see what you can do with this.
I'll fix it up good as new, Frank.
Morning, Sister.
I missed you in church today, Frank.
Sister, I've just come from a fire.
That is an explanation, Frank, but is no excuse.
Let me help you with that.
- Sister I didn't come here... - Then, what...
Redemption is not offered once, Frank, but continually.
- Kind words, Sister. - Frank, they are not mine.
Come by next Sunday, and we'll give you a second chance.
The only second chance I know,
is the chance to make the same mistake twice.
Cut! That's a cut!
This is great!
Joe, I want to change this.
We are going again. We are going again.
Good work, Bob.
Stand by. Cue the dead horse.
Get a crate of doughnuts for the Teamsters.
It beats working.
Would you identify that song for us?
The original title, which we can't use anymore...
is 'The Song Of The Old Mill. '
We can't use that title as it's no longer the movie's name.
The movie now is called...
The movie now is called 'The Fires Of Home'
'The Fires Of Home'. And this movie is about?
It's about many, many things...
which I think is a character of any great movie.
It means many different things to many people,
or three things to three guys.
Let's go to the phones.
Maurice is on the line from Madison Head, Alberta.
Once more and can you try to play the notes this time?
