Let's Do Lunch

Hi there Myron
How's it hanging?
I've got a date with Sheldrake
I'm shooting a Western down at Fox
How can you work with Darryl?
We should talk
Gotta run
Let's do lunch
Hi Mr Gillis
You look great
I'm up for an audition
Sheldrake is driving me insane
Don't forget me when you're casting
We should talk
Gotta run
Let's do lunch
Morning Joanna
Hi there Myron
Who are you meeting?
You look great
Sheldrake but do I need it?
I've spent the last month fasting
I'm handing in my second draft
I'm shooting a Western down at Fox
I'd really love to read it
Don't forget me when you're casting
We should talk
We should talk
Gotta run
Gotta run
Let's do lunch
Yeah I have an appointment with Mr Sheldrake
Name?
Gillis Joseph Gillis
Okay sir You know your way?
Yeah
We want the keys to your car
You're way behind with the payments
Don't give us any fancy footwork
Give us the keys
I only wish I could help
I loaned it to my accountant
He has an important client down in Palm Springs
Felt like shooting the breeze
Are you telling us you walked here?
I believe in self-denial
I'm in training for the priesthood
Okay wise guy three hundred bucks
Or we're taking the car
We have a court order
I love it when you talk dirty
Hey there Sammy
How are you doin'?
Truth is I'm brokenhearted
Fed up with playing gigolos
That's how the stars got started
This is the biggest film ever made
What are you playing?
Another victim
"Tart with a heart of tinsel"
Let's do lunch
Gotta run
You've got to find me a job
I'm way behind with my payments
I thought you were meant to be my agent
I need some work
I only wish I could help
This town is dead at the moment
There's been this slowdown in production
Who is this jerk?
He's my wunderkind from Broadway
Every major studio wants him
Playing one against the other
What I need is three hundred bucks
Maybe what you need is a new agent
Hello Artie
Joe you bastard
You never call me any more
Found a cuter dancing partner
How are things?
Not so great
Will this help?
Twenty bucks?
Thanks you're a pal
This is Sheldrake
Bring some water
Get me that shithead Nolan
Nolan sweetheart
Great to talk
This draft is so much brighter
You're the best
Even so
I've hired another writer
Joe What the **** brings you here?
You wanted to see me
I did? What about?
"Bases Loaded" it's an outline for a baseball store
So pitch
It's about a rookie shortstop running 347
The kid was once mixed up in a holdup
Now he's trying to escape
Wait a minute
I think I have read this
Somebody bring in what we've got on a
"Bases Loaded"
—Bases Loaded
They're pretty hot for it over at Twentieth
Yeah
Let's do lunch
Here's that "Bases Loaded" materical
Mr Sheldrake
I made a two-page synopsis for you
But I wouldn't bother to read it
Why not?
It's just a rehash of something that wasn't very good to begin with
Meet Mr Gillis He wrote it
This is Miss Kramer
Schaefer Betty Schaefer And right now
I'd like to crawl into a hole and pull it in after me
If I could be of any help
I'm sorry Mr Gillis I couldn't see the point of it
What sort of material do you suggest? James Joyce? Dostoyevsky?
I think pictures should at least try to say a little something
I see you're one of the message kids
I expect you'd have turned down "Gone With the Wind"
No that was me
Gotta run
And I guess I was disappointed
I've read some of your other work
And I thought you had some real talent
But that was last year This year I felt like eating
Well I'm sorry Mr Gillis
Thank you Miss Kramer Looks like Fox have got themselves a baseball picture
We should talk
Gotta run
Let's do lunch
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
I only wish I could help
There's no spare **** at the moment
Remember the greatest writers starved in Garrets
Didn't care about pay
Are you trying to be funny?
I believe in self-denial
Gives a man some moral backbone
Can you loan me three hundred bucks?
I'm sorry Gillis Good-bye
I just love Hollywood
