1
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:07,839

00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:09,519
what the scene is about you know the

3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:11,320

looking forward to it we're using a

9
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:22,640
scene from frost Nixon which is a movie

10
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,199
I directed in fact we have the original

11
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:26,240
shooting script over there and I I

12
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:28,039
almost opened it up and looked at the

13
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:29,519
scene that we're going to we're going to

14
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:31,720
rehearse today and then I said no let's

15
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,120
Let It Be Our scene yeah uh and uh what

16
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,840
I want to try to do as a kind of an

17
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,559
exercise treating it as though it was a

18
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:41,120
rehearsal day on a on a

19
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,600
movie and you know I I want to try to

20
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,480
connect with your thoughts about the

21
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:47,120
character if you have any questions

22
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,600
about it you know we'll we'll flesh

23
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,160
those kind of things out and then begin

24
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:53,399
to work on the staging okay um and uh

25
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:54,879
and I'll stage it in a number of ways so

26
00:00:54,879 --> 00:00:56,359
be patient you know I may want to Stage

27
00:00:56,359 --> 00:00:57,800
it from a couple of different

28
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,440
perspectives keeping in mind different

29
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,680
factors time you know there might be a

30
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,119
simple way to Stage IT and a more

31
00:01:04,119 --> 00:01:07,360
ambitious way I we'll explore that using

32
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,000
lighting perhaps different things with

33
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,200
the ideas with the um with the camera

34
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,560
work and so forth and uh so we'll we'll

35
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,640
uh we'll we'll just work through it

36
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,240
before we get started reading the scene

37
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,799
which is the way I'd like to start I'll

38
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:22,360
just kind of explain when we would would

39
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,240
shoot it it would be on a practical

40
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,680
location be a real garage with a a

41
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,360
little Alleyway um and so you know when

42
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,920
we when we made the movie we found a

43
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,720
practical location that had those couple

44
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,240
of features so we're we're sort of

45
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,560
emulating that U here for our rehearsal

46
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,840
space

47
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,840

Oliver pl Play your played your part

60
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,280
okay great well let's read through it

61
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,000
and and you guys sort of know roughly

62
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,400
where this is in the in the story uh you

63
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,640
know there's just there's just been a an

64
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:26,400
interview an important early interview

65
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,920
with uh where Richard Nixon seemed to

66
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:30,959
more or less control the whole thing

67
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:33,040
right he didn't really let David Frost

68
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,319
get the questions in that you guys have

69
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:37,519
been preparing so you're the journalists

70
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:39,519
who've been preparing David Frost for

71
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:41,519
this vitally important television

72
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:44,640
interview and uh David comes in you know

73
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:46,040
feeling like he's done a hell of a good

74
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,480
job and you guys are very concerned that

75
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,800
he's you know that he's oblivious yeah

76
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,200
so without moving around or anything

77
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,239
let's just read through the scene a

78
00:02:53,239 --> 00:02:55,280
couple of times okay

79
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,680
okay crash Frost Bert Reston burst out

80
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,400
of the house

81
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,319
what Revolution David you just let

82
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:03,920
Richard Nixon claim the country was in a

83
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:05,560
state of Revolution with protesters

84
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,720
bombing and assaulting police officers

85
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,560
that's not how I remember it what I

86
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,959
remember was people protesting

87
00:03:10,959 --> 00:03:12,480
peacefully and legitimately against the

88
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,360
Vietnam War that's what I Remember music

89
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,879
off please music off by the end

90
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:19,440
wiretapping students and breaking into

91
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,879
journalist homes was beginning to sound

92
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:22,640
like a rational response and I'm sorry

93
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:24,080
you feel this way but I simply cannot

94
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,440
share your view about what about any of

95
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,280
it

96
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,159
frankly I thought today was a huge

97
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:30,519
Improvement are you you

98
00:03:30,519 --> 00:03:33,159
nuts let me tell you how bad things were

99
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:35,439
today after the taping finished I

100
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:37,159
overheard two members of the crew say

101
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:38,680
they never voted for him when they had

102
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,640
the chance but if he ran for office

103
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,599
again today he'd get their support

104
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:44,239
you're making him look presidential for

105
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:46,360
Christ's sake and forget about the

106
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,319
trivia David who cares whether Nixon

107
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:50,640
took the White House bed to Europe when

108
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,599
he traveled well it's irrelevant and

109
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:55,400
it's just a sort of Bal anecdote that

110
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,319
would distract

111
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:00,480
it or what

112
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,480
go on no say it you going to say talk

113
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,400
show

114
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,760
host yeah I

115
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,319
was look it's useless me trying to

116
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:11,200
answer your points frankly I don't share

117
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,439
any of your sense of pessimism or alarm

118
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:15,920
and this ridiculous self flagellation in

119
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,239
my view is just depressing and

120
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:21,519
threatening to derail the whole

121
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,400
Enterprise that there is anyone here

122
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,840
thinks we're going to fail they better

123
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:26,360
leave

124
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,360
now or it'll infect everyone else

125
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,639
anyone right

126
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:37,440
good now I suggest instead of festering

127
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,120
around the hotel for the next 5 days we

128
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,800
all go our separate ways over Easter but

129
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,400
before we go Caroline and I would like

130
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,039
you to join us for a little celebratory

131
00:04:45,039 --> 00:04:47,479
dinner at Patrick tera's new place

132
00:04:47,479 --> 00:04:50,199
celebrate to celebrate what David the

133
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:51,240
fact that we're all going to be working

134
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,080
at Burger King what are we

135
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,759
celebrating my birthday

136
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:57,960
Bob I'd like to celebrate my birthday

137
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,800
with a few friends

138
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,639
great brings back good memories Peter

139
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:06,240
Morgan can write a scene yeah right Andy

140
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,639
okay um all right well I'd like to read

141
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:10,639
through it one more time and just give

142
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:12,919
you a couple just sort of acting notes

143
00:05:12,919 --> 00:05:14,919
because it'll help inform the the

144
00:05:14,919 --> 00:05:17,639
staging a little bit I think uh you guys

145
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:20,319
need to be hotter and more desperate

146
00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:22,639
okay Bert was a very good friend so

147
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:24,639
while he didn't approve he was

148
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:26,400
supportive so you're going to by the way

149
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,680
when you come in we'll just pretend

150
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,400
there's somebody over here playing music

151
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,560
yeah and you just have to kick them out

152
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,199
you know and uh so just just mind that

153
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:36,360
for now since it's a rehearsal you guys

154
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,120
just need to be I think a little a

155
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,360
little sharper a little more sarc a

156
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,600
little more sarcasm especially uh zelic

157
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,960
was you know they both were sarcastic

158
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,800
you know guys edgy funny guys yeah okay

159
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,759
okay great uh so we we're we're going to

160
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:55,600
want to Pace the first part of it it's

161
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,199
almost like you're all you're all

162
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:00,400
picking at him boom boom boom and uh and

163
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,600
then you know it then it has space at

164
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,000
the end to get a little quieter and a

165
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,800
little more personal okay

166
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,039
okay so before we start staging uh and

167
00:06:12,039 --> 00:06:13,520
again we don't have to necessarily be at

168
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,400
full performance level but you know but

169
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,199
as we you know in this in this read

170
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:19,840
through but uh let's work on those few

171
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:21,400
little adjustments and then we'll get

172
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,120
started getting it up on its feet okay

173
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,880
okay okay all right go ahead

174
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,840
action what Revolution David you just

175
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:30,360
let Richard ni claimed the country was

176
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,280
in a state of Revolution with protesters

177
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:34,199
protesters bombing and assaulting police

178
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:36,520
officers that's not how I remember it

179
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,039
what I remember was people protesting

180
00:06:38,039 --> 00:06:39,759
peacefully and legitimately against the

181
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:41,759
Vietnam War that's what I Remember music

182
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:43,880
off people music off by the end

183
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,080
wiretapping students and breaking into

184
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,720
journalist's homes was beginning to

185
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,520
sound like a rational response I'm sorry

186
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,759
you feel this way but I simply cannot

187
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:53,080
share your view about what about any of

188
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,560
it frankly I thought today was a huge

189
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,520
Improvement are you

190
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,199
nuts let me tell you how bad things were

191
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:02,400
today after the taping finished I

192
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,120
overheard two members of the crew say

193
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,520
they never voted for him when they had

194
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,319
the chance but if he ran for office

195
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:10,919
again today he'd get their support

196
00:07:10,919 --> 00:07:12,520
you're making him look presidential for

197
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,720
Christ's sake and forget about the

198
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,080
trivia David who cares whether Nixon

199
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,520
took the White House bed to Europe when

200
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,840
he traveled well it's

201
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,039
irrelevant and it's just a sort of Bol

202
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:25,919
anecdote that would distract

203
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:29,240
it distract it what you can goad and say

204
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,599
dist so you so you really jump in

205
00:07:31,599 --> 00:07:33,599
distract that you know I mean start to

206
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:36,879
say showman you you know Show Business

207
00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:38,479
something like that and then cut

208
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:40,800
yourself off a little bit more you know

209
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,240
go ahead they would distract the what

210
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,080
yeah let say yeah who cares whether

211
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,599
Nixon took the White House bed to Europe

212
00:07:48,599 --> 00:07:50,120
when he traveled I do well it's

213
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,360
irrelevant and it's just a sort of Bol

214
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,840
anecdote that would distract a talk

215
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,960
what go on say it you're going to say

216
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,440
talk sh her

217
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,360
yeah I

218
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,720
was look it's useless me trying to

219
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,639
answer your points frankly I don't share

220
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:11,680
any of your sense of pessimism or alarm

221
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,479
and this ridiculous self- flagellation

222
00:08:13,479 --> 00:08:15,680
in my view is just

223
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,800
depressing and threatening to derail the

224
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,479
whole

225
00:08:19,479 --> 00:08:21,520
Enterprise there is anyone here thinks

226
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,520
we are going to fail they better leave

227
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,560
now or it'll infect everyone

228
00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:31,280
else no one

229
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,719
right

230
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:35,640
good now I suggest instead of festering

231
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,200
around the hotel for the next 5 days we

232
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,200
all go our separate ways over Easter but

233
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,519
before we go Caroline and I would like

234
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:43,080
you to join us for a little celebratory

235
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,560
dinner at Patrick Terrell's new place

236
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:48,320
celebrate to celebrate what David the

237
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,360
fact that we're all going to be working

238
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,320
at Burger King what do we celebrate it's

239
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,120
my birthday

240
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,080
Bob and I'd like to celebrate my

241
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,200
birthday with a few

242
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,360
friends great shouldn't say a talk show

243
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,959
actually but just go a little further

244
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:06,160
with show biz show you know showman you

245
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,000
know a show yeah Show Business show bu I

246
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,720
try that show business Show Business

247
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,680
type Show Business

248
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,079
guy what I like to do is there's only I

249
00:09:20,079 --> 00:09:22,040
have only one sort of objective at some

250
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,399
point I'd like to get it outside so I

251
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:25,600
like to start over there we're going to

252
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,279
pretend the door is over there okay

253
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:28,440
you're going to come in this is supposed

254
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,920
to be the opening of the of the garage

255
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,600
let's just let's just assume that the

256
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,800
guy you chase away is uh I don't know

257
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,200
just he's here he's sitting here playing

258
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,920
a radio or something he turns it off and

259
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,959
goes uh so we're going to start with you

260
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:43,320
guys out there okay maybe we'll give you

261
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,000
something like a maybe there's a Oh

262
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,800
Let's Pretend There's a something you

263
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,560
can get a drink of water here something

264
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:50,880
you know you can grab a Coke or

265
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,680
something like that and just so you have

266
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:54,160
a reason to stop you don't just

267
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,040
immediately go because your car is

268
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,720
parked out that way okay um and looking

269
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,320
outside let's assume that uh um that

270
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,720
ultimately that's that's going to be the

271
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:06,760
way out that's that's where you're

272
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,480
headed yeah yeah I think that's it uh

273
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,360
and now so let me just see where you

274
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,240
know where it falls for you guys and um

275
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,079
and the only other piece of advice I'd

276
00:10:15,079 --> 00:10:17,680
give is is just in terms of finding it

277
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:19,399
is I'm now kind of staging what I would

278
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:22,040
sort of say is the is the is the is the

279
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,560
ambitious movie version okay so move

280
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:26,760
yeah that's one of the big differences

281
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,519
between movie staging and television

282
00:10:28,519 --> 00:10:30,680
with television you got lock in and so

283
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:32,320
that you can be more more efficient you

284
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,680
know so you get more more mileage out of

285
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:36,920
every angle I I'd like to start with a

286
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,000
kind of a fluidity and so feel free to

287
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,600
Pace on your lines you don't have to

288
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,639
lock in you know you can you can pace

289
00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:45,920
around worrying about your friend feel

290
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,160
free to move and let me just see what

291
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,440
you guys feel okay so pretend we'll

292
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,760
start over here and we'll pretend that

293
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,839
this is the doorway okay all

294
00:10:55,839 --> 00:11:00,800
right all right action

295
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,200
what Revolution David you just let

296
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,880
Richard Nixon claim the country start

297
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,120
again one little thing it would be I

298
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,920
think we should start the line right

299
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,600
yeah from even off

300
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,839
camera ready action what Revolution

301
00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:18,040
David you just let Richard Nixon claim

302
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,880
the country was in a state of Revolution

303
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,519
with protesters bombing and assaulting

304
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:23,399
police officers that's not how I

305
00:11:23,399 --> 00:11:25,320
remember it what I remember was people

306
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,360
protesting peacefully and legitimately

307
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,959
against the Vietnam War that's what I

308
00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:31,279
remember music gol please hey music gol

309
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:33,480
look by the end wiretapping students and

310
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,680
breaking into journalist homes was

311
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:35,839
beginning to sound like a rational

312
00:11:35,839 --> 00:11:37,360
response I'm sorry you all feel this way

313
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,000
but I simply cannot share that view

314
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,639
about what about any of it

315
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:44,480
frankly in my opinion it was an

316
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,519
improvement are you

317
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:49,279
nuts let me tell you how bad things were

318
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:51,440
today after the taping finished I

319
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,000
overheard two members of the crew say

320
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,240
they never voted for him when they had

321
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,880
the chance but if he ran for office

322
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,880
again today they'd get he'd get their

323
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,320
support

324
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,040
you're making him look presidential for

325
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,160
Christ's sake and forget about the

326
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,000
trivia David who cares whether Nixon

327
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,399
took the White House bed to Europe when

328
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:10,680
he traveled I do well it's

329
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,040
irrelevant and it's just the sort of Bal

330
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,760
antidot that would distract a show

331
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,040
business or

332
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,000
what no go on say it you want to say

333
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,440
talk show host

334
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,880
right yeah I

335
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,279
was okay it's useless me trying to

336
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:32,120
answer your points frankly I don't share

337
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,360
any of your sense of pessimism or alarm

338
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,519
and this this ridiculous self

339
00:12:36,519 --> 00:12:39,920
flatulation in my view is just it's

340
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,040
depressing and threatening to derail the

341
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,120
whole Enterprise if there is anyone here

342
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,000
who thinks we are going to fail you'd

343
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,240
best leave

344
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,720
now or it'll infect everyone

345
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,160
else h no

346
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,199
one

347
00:12:56,199 --> 00:12:59,279
good right now I suggest instead of f

348
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:00,800
ing around the hotel for the next 5 days

349
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,519
we all go our separate ways over Easter

350
00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:04,839
but before we go Caroline and I would

351
00:13:04,839 --> 00:13:06,160
like you to join us for dinner

352
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,959
celebratory dinner at Patrick Terrell's

353
00:13:07,959 --> 00:13:11,120
new place celebrate to celebrate what

354
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,800
David the fact that we're all going to

355
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,120
be working at Burger it's my birthday

356
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,399
Bob like to celebrate my birthday with a

357
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:22,399
few friends cool great okay very good

358
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:25,279
good instincts there I think um we might

359
00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:26,959
need you to have like a couple of things

360
00:13:26,959 --> 00:13:28,839
you need to do so now I think you need a

361
00:13:28,839 --> 00:13:32,639
little business so let's assume that uh

362
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:35,480
you've got uh you know something that

363
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,240
you're going to put down you know then

364
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,199
you're going to cross over fill it just

365
00:13:40,199 --> 00:13:41,839
a little bit find you know said you've

366
00:13:41,839 --> 00:13:43,199
got a little business over here a little

367
00:13:43,199 --> 00:13:45,000
business over here or maybe vice versa

368
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,720
because he chases the guy away to begin

369
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,720
with so why don't you first uh go get

370
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,480
your soda and then come over here and

371
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,440
you know leave a folder we don't have

372
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,639
the props for today but you'll

373
00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:58,160
eventually we we we'd have it all good I

374
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,040
don't by the way think you we should go

375
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,279
back to what you were doing and saying

376
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:03,360
and you should just uh don't even get

377
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,279
the show part out just uh you know and

378
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:07,800
let let it die there because otherwise

379
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,680
we get ahead of what it is it's great

380
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:11,560
that he can anticipate talk show host

381
00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:14,160
one little acting idea on a performance

382
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,360
level is I think um I think you're a

383
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,759
little too hot too soon okay I think you

384
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:21,399
should be trying to just sort of you

385
00:14:21,399 --> 00:14:24,560
know fro Frost was such so Charming that

386
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,079
he's just trying to calm the boys down

387
00:14:26,079 --> 00:14:27,959
by kind of make keeping it as light as

388
00:14:27,959 --> 00:14:30,800
possible until until much uh until much

389
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,440
later and now I'm going to I'm going to

390
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,440
suggest something um seeing the way it

391
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,399
fell in naturally was basically very

392
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:42,120
very good um the you know I think you're

393
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,240
by the way you're chasing this guy away

394
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,360
if I had an actor here I'd have him

395
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,519
noticing okay you know and so you're

396
00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:50,000
you're realizing that this is could be

397
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,800
embarrassing in front of the crew he's a

398
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,519
crew member so get rid of him and um uh

399
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:57,079
why don't

400
00:14:57,079 --> 00:15:01,279
you try you almost did this when you say

401
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:04,759
I do MH why don't you try to leave them

402
00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:07,680
right and and that that's why I that's

403
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,720
why I wanted you to wind up over here

404
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,519
because you have a longer walk so if you

405
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:13,680
say I do and now you're going and now

406
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,680
you're chasing him all the way out doors

407
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,440
well that's a bunch of [ __ ] you know

408
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,160
David you don't know what you're talking

409
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,560
about and we have this kind of space and

410
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,600
now we've pushed the scene outside uh

411
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,279
you know for the back half which which

412
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:27,680
gives it uh makes it a little fresher

413
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,680
okay

414
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:40,519
cool

415
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:45,240
okay so uh just for for our sake let's

416
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,440
see I would start back start the line

417
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,040
right back here okay you know I'm going

418
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,519
to make try to make the room a little

419
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:54,440
bigger than it than it is but okay go

420
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,920
ahead action what Revolution David you

421
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,360
just let Richard Nixon claimed the

422
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,120
country was in a state of Revolution

423
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,800
with protesters bombing and assaulting

424
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,800
police officers that's not how I

425
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,959
remember it what I remember was people

426
00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:08,880
protesting peacefully and legitimately

427
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,480
against the Vietnam War that's what I

428
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,079
Remember music off please music off by

429
00:16:13,079 --> 00:16:15,160
the end wiretapping students and

430
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,920
breaking into journalist homes was

431
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,240
beginning to sound like a rational

432
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,000
response I'm sorry you feel this way but

433
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
I simply cannot share your view about

434
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,759
what about any of it

435
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:26,120
frankly I thought today was a huge

436
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,319
Improvement are you nuts

437
00:16:29,319 --> 00:16:31,199
let me tell you how bad things were

438
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:33,759
today after the taping finished play to

439
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:36,199
each other are you nuts okay you know a

440
00:16:36,199 --> 00:16:38,279
beat of looking this way and I think you

441
00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:40,160
could also face them a little have the

442
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,440
courage to face them a little bit well I

443
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,440
thought it was great you know so again

444
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,319
so we have somewhere to go as you get

445
00:16:45,319 --> 00:16:46,959
tougher anyway but the staging is

446
00:16:46,959 --> 00:16:48,360
working well here this is all this is

447
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,800
all good cool uh why don't you guys yeah

448
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,199
no that's pretty good that's pretty good

449
00:16:53,199 --> 00:16:54,720
that for for my purposes now that'll

450
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,120
work well because I can get the couple

451
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,959
of cross angles here cross angle here

452
00:16:58,959 --> 00:17:01,000
you're good and if you're if you use

453
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,319
that middle space as a kind of a worried

454
00:17:03,319 --> 00:17:04,959
you know executive producer pacing

455
00:17:04,959 --> 00:17:07,679
around you know the whole it they need

456
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:10,439
to say what they're saying but you know

457
00:17:10,439 --> 00:17:13,559
it it's you know probably as a producer

458
00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:16,079
don't really want a lot of conflict okay

459
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:18,400
okay okay sorry so just pick it up from

460
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,240
there I thought it was a huge

461
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,160
Improvement okay go

462
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:24,799
ahead any of it

463
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:26,679
frankly I thought today was a huge

464
00:17:26,679 --> 00:17:29,080
Improvement

465
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,400
oh that's great you almost you just did

466
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,520
a good thing let's do that again uh I

467
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,080
thought it was a good Improvement look

468
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,280
at your friend and your friend doesn't

469
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,160
it kind of glances away embarrassed cuz

470
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,080
he doesn't agree and wants that was nice

471
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,200
can follow up on that about any of it

472
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,120
frankly I thought today was a huge

473
00:17:47,799 --> 00:17:50,160
Improvement are you

474
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,000
nuts let me tell you how bad things were

475
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,320
today after the taping finished I

476
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,320
overheard two members of the crew say

477
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,559
they never voted for him when they had

478
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:00,679
the chance chance but if he ran for

479
00:18:00,679 --> 00:18:02,720
office again

480
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,039
today he'd get their

481
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:07,000
support you're making him look

482
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,520
presidential for Christ's sake and

483
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,960
forget about the trivia David who cares

484
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,400
whether Nixon took the White House bed

485
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,919
to Europe when he traveled well it's

486
00:18:15,919 --> 00:18:18,640
irrelevant and it's just the sort of Bal

487
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,520
anecdote that would

488
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,520
distract what oh that was good if you if

489
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,320
you've gotten ahead and then you say and

490
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,679
you distract it and then you turn back

491
00:18:27,679 --> 00:18:29,840
to him that's good okay or what hang

492
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,880
back at that door just you don't really

493
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,960
love all this just watching you were

494
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,600
going to say talk host AR

495
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,559
you yeah I

496
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:43,240
was look it's useless me trying to

497
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,000
answer your points frankly I don't share

498
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,480
any of your

499
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,080
pessimism or alarm and this ridiculous

500
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,760
self- flatulation in my view is just

501
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,960
depressing and threatening to derail the

502
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,520
whole

503
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,159
Enterprise if anyone here thinks we're

504
00:18:58,159 --> 00:19:00,799
going to fail they better leave

505
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:04,840
now or it'll infect everyone

506
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,880
else no

507
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,760
one right good now I suggest instead of

508
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:13,760
I'm just going to jump in you had an

509
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,200
instinct there of looking away with

510
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,000
embarrassment I'd follow on that I don't

511
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,120
think there's any reason why you

512
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:19,760
couldn't just kind of walk over here by

513
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,120
your buddy yeah and kind of wait here

514
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:24,520
but you're not walking away not quitting

515
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,679
you know but I think use that whatever

516
00:19:26,679 --> 00:19:29,400
that that impulse was would make we

517
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,720
might as well make a little move out of

518
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,400
it cool

519
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,799
okay no

520
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:38,600
one right good now I suggest instead of

521
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,120
festering around the hotel for the next

522
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:41,799
5 days we all go our separate ways over

523
00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:44,320
Eastern but before we go Caroline and I

524
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,960

putting a a camera on it and since it's

00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,000
a rehearsal I'll be stopping and going
