I'm sure you don't. 567 01:16:51,084 --> 01:16:55,875 - Please, you're in the frame. - Places, everyone! 568 01:17:35,459 --> 01:17:41,000 Are they going to strip off? Marvellous business this! 569 01:17:41,167 --> 01:17:46,541 You show women in dresses a camera, and hey presto!

Go on, Camille. Go on. 575 01:18:30,917 --> 01:18:36,291 I don't mind, go on. 576 01:18:36,459 --> 01:18:41,125 I'll walk back with Mr. Lang to discuss The Odyssey. 577 01:19:15,459 --> 01:19:18,416 The girls are in the water, Mr Lang. 578 01:19:18,584 --> 01:19:21,708 I should have done a scene at the beginning 579 01:19:21,876 --> 01:19:28,500 in which the gods discuss man's fate, in general, 580 01:19:28,667 --> 01:19:32,125 and the fate of Ulysses in particular. 581 01:20:08,001 --> 01:20:11,833 A producer can be a friend to a director. 582 01:20:12,001 --> 01:20:17,875 But Prokosch isn't a real producer. He's a dictator. 583 01:20:18,042 --> 01:20:23,416 I think it's stupid to change the character of Ulysses. 584 01:20:23,584 --> 01:20:27,250 He's not a modern-day neurotic, 585 01:20:27,417 --> 01:20:33,125 but a simple, clever and robust man. 586 01:20:33,292 --> 01:20:36,250 I find his idea interesting. 587 01:20:36,417 --> 01:20:39,541 It takes Ulysses ten years to return home 588 01:20:39,709 --> 01:20:43,541 because he doesn't really want to return. It's logical. 589 01:20:43,709 --> 01:20:49,791 It's logical, and the illogical borrows from the logical. 590 01:20:49,959 --> 01:20:54,458 Your Corneille said it in his preface to Sur�na. 591 01:20:54,626 --> 01:20:59,291 Ulysses doesn't rush home to Ithaca 592 01:20:59,459 --> 01:21:03,375 because he was unhappy with Penelope, 593 01:21:03,542 --> 01:21:08,125 but the trouble started before he went off to war. 594 01:21:14,209 --> 01:21:17,666 He never would've left if he'd been happy. 595 01:21:17,834 --> 01:21:21,333 The Trojan war was his excuse to get away from her. 596 01:21:21,501 --> 01:21:25,500 But he killed her suitors, didn't he? 597 01:21:25,667 --> 01:21:29,958 That can be justified by the fact that, at first, 598 01:21:30,126 --> 01:21:34,333 Ulysses had told Penelope to accept their gifts. 599 01:21:34,501 --> 01:21:38,333 He didn't see the suitors as serious rivals, 600 01:21:38,501 --> 01:21:42,291 and didn't want to cause a scandal by throwing them out. 601 01:21:42,459 --> 01:21:49,000 Knowing Penelope to be faithful, he told her to be nice to the suitors. 602 01:21:55,834 --> 01:22:02,458 I think that's when Penelope, who is a simple woman at heart, 603 01:22:03,626 --> 01:22:06,750 began to despise him. 604 01:22:06,917 --> 01:22:11,916 She found she'd stopped loving Ulysses because of his behaviour, 605 01:22:12,084 --> 01:22:14,541 and she told him so. 606 01:22:14,709 --> 01:22:19,208 Ulysses then realized too late he'd lost Penelope's love 607 01:22:19,376 --> 01:22:23,208 because he'd been overly cautious. 608 01:22:24,251 --> 01:22:29,458 The only way to win her back was to murder the suitors. 609 01:22:29,626 --> 01:22:33,083 Death is no resolution. 610 01:24:07,042 --> 01:24:09,125 Camille! 611 01:25:17,417 --> 01:25:21,500 - What a lovely yellow. - Thanks. 612 01:25:23,834 --> 01:25:26,625 I found this on the boat. 613 01:25:26,792 --> 01:25:30,500 Children shouldn't play with firearms. 614 01:26:18,292 --> 01:26:20,375 Drink? 615 01:26:20,542 --> 01:26:24,583 I was there, outside. Nothing. 616 01:26:58,667 --> 01:27:02,416 I decided not to write the script you asked me. 617 01:27:05,084 --> 01:27:07,708 Why? 618 01:27:07,876 --> 01:27:11,125 Can I be frank? 619 01:27:15,126 --> 01:27:17,750 Of course. 620 01:27:21,042 --> 01:27:26,625 I'm a playwright. Not a screenwriter. 621 01:27:31,959 --> 01:27:37,500 Even if it's a fine script... I'm only doing it for the money! 622 01:27:43,959 --> 01:27:47,791 That's why I'm in a bad mood. 623 01:27:50,334 --> 01:27:55,416 We all have an ideal. Mine's writing plays. I can't. Why? 624 01:27:57,584 --> 01:28:02,708 In today's world, we have to accept what others want. 625 01:28:04,876 --> 01:28:07,833 Why does money matter so much in what we do, 626 01:28:08,001 --> 01:28:10,958 in what we are, in what we become? 627 01:28:12,667 --> 01:28:16,333 Even in our relationships with those we love. 628 01:28:25,876 --> 01:28:28,666 He is right. 629 01:28:30,001 --> 01:28:33,958 We either do Homer's Odyssey or we do nothing! 630 01:28:39,709 --> 01:28:43,708 Mr. Prokosch already said it, you're wrong. 631 01:28:43,876 --> 01:28:47,000 You aspire to a world like Homer's. 632 01:28:47,167 --> 01:28:50,833 You want it to exist, but unfortunately it doesn't. 633 01:28:51,001 --> 01:28:54,125 Why doesn't it? 634 01:29:01,042 --> 01:29:03,958 You may be right, 635 01:29:04,126 --> 01:29:09,958 but when it comes to making movies, dreams aren't enough. 636 01:29:16,834 --> 01:29:19,583 When do we eat? 637 01:29:22,917 --> 01:29:27,708 - In an hour. - Right.

You always said you loved that script. 648 01:32:02,709 --> 01:32:08,666 Now you tell the producer it's for the money, that your ideal is the theatre. 649 01:32:09,834 --> 01:32:14,708 He's no fool. Next time, he won't be asking you. 650 01:32:14,876 --> 01:32:19,541 How can you not understand something so simple? 651 01:32:21,626 --> 01:32:26,291 - I bet you'll do it anyway. - No. 652 01:32:26,459 --> 01:32:31,375 Yes, you'll see.
