00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,560
(SIGHS)
173
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,561
What are you doing?
174
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,766
I don't want to look
at this anymore.
175
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,490
That was a present
from the crew.
176
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:01,005
Don't fuck with them--
they're union.
177
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,685
I don't care.
178
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,402
How'd it go?
Good.
179
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:07,364
They talk about Ralph?
He did it.
180
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,851
The motherfucker did it.
181
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,082
Threatened to sue us.
182
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,845
Whafd you say,
l\/le?
183
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,606
I said, "Motherfucker,
are you threatening me?
184
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:17,762
"Ifl so much as get
a letter from a lawyer...
185
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,685
"...the press is getting
pictures off your computer."
186
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,081
What pictures?
187
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,364
He has a thing
for nuns in diapers.
188
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:29,526
Why do you care? Point
is, I made it go away.
189
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,205
That's great.
190
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,886
Yeah, it's fantastic,
except for one thing.
191
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,770
We have no actor.
Uh-huh.
192
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,201
Ancl if we cancel the preview,
the press will smell blood.
193
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,727
We can't afford to
lose any more money.
194
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,291
What do you think
I should do?
195
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,885
We hired an understudy.
196
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,200
Use him.
No.
197
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,569
Riggan, listen to me. Please,
for the love of God, listen.
198
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,326
Our perfect dream actor is not going
to knock on that door and go,
199
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,562
"Hey, fellas, when do I
start?" (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
200
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:57,403
Can I talk to you?
What's up?
201
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,722
You find another actor?
No.
202
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,970
Mike's available.
Mike who?
203
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,446
I thought he was
doing the thing--
204
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,249
He quit. Or got fired.
205
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,321
Mike who?
206
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,402
Which is it, quit or fired?
With Mike, it's usually both.
207
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,324
Mike fucking who?
Shiner.
208
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:11,891
Yes!
Jake.
209
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,924
How do you know
Mike Shiner?
210
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,240
We share a vagina.
211
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,481
You think he'd do it?
Mmm-hmm.
212
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,484
How do you know?
He told me.
213
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,131
Jake.
Yes.
214
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,089
Ask me if he sells tickets.
215
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,401
Does he sell tickets?
216
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,324
A shitload. Ask me if the
theater critics love him.
217
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:27,800
Do theater critics
love him?
218
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,247
They want to spooge on him.
219
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,409
Right on his face.
Everything for a reason.
220
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,921
You think he'd come in
this evening?
221
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,809
I'll call and find out.
222
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,485
I'll call his agent.
223
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,161
Amazing, amazing.
224
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,644
Annie? Clear the theater,
send everyone to dinner
225
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,643
and give me some lights!
226
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,201
We've got
a put-in tonight.
227
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,361
ANNIE: Who?
228
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,005
JAKE: You'll find out.
229
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,844
Intimidating, isn't it?
230
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,890
You have any idea
the people who have
231
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,009
walked on these boards
before you?
232
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:20,160
Geraldine Page.
Helen Hayes.
233
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,491
Jason Robards. Marlon Brando.
And now Riggan Thomson.
234
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,804
(CHUCKLES) Thanks for coming
in on such short notice, Mike.
235
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,491
This is what I do.
236
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:31,164
You wrote this adaptation?
237
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,561
I did, yeah.
Ah.
238
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,009
And you're directing and starring.
That's ambitious.
239
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,321
Well, thanks.
240
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,007
Well, it's a good theater.
241
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,167
I can't speak for your play, but...
let's do a little bit of it.
242
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,562
RIGGAN: Oh, I didn't expect
you tojustjump right in.
243
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,320
It's first preview tomorrow night.
Let's get to work.
244
00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:53,406
Well, feel free to take the script
up until you feel comfortable.
245
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:56,160
No, let's just do some of it.
246
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:58,521
Uh...
247
00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,931
Take a look at page 20.
248
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,685
I'm good. I don't need it.
249
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,126
I don't need the script.
Give me a cue.
250
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,361
V\Ihat?
251
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,284
Feed me a line.
(STAMMERING)
252
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:07,681
Feed me a line.
253
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:08,841
Okay.
254
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,362
Okay, uh, let me think.
255
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:16,524
I'm the wrong person to ask.
I didn't actually know him.
256
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,961
I only heard his name mentioned
in passing. Mmm-hmm.
257
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,644
You'd have to know
the particulars.
258
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,048
But I think what you're
saying is love is absolute.
259
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,282
Is that what I'm saying? Am I saying
love is absolute? (INHALES SHARPLY)
260
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,203
Yes. Okay, yeah!
The kind of love
261
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,884
I'm talking about is absolute.
262
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,886
The kind of love I'm talking about,
you don't try to kill people!
263
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,804
How do you know the lines?
264
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,045
It's a thing I have. I don't
know, it's a gift. Wow.
265
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,404
Come on. I've been helping
Lesley get off book for a month.
266
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,041
These lines are right here.
That makes sense.
267
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,970
That's good.
Give me my cue again.
268
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,720
I'm the wrong person to ask.
I didn't actually know him.
269
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,725
I only heard his name
mentioned in passing.
270
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,406
You never know the particulars.
I think what--
271
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,483
Can I make a suggestion?
272
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,244
Do you mind?
No, not at all.
273
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,087
No, no, forget that.
Just stay with me.
274
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,086
"L'm the wrong person to ask," he
says, but what's the intention?
275
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,243
Is he fed up
with the subject?
276
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,004
Deflecting guilt
over the marriage?
277
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,447
And here's the thing-- you
have four lines after that
278
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,245
that all say the same thing.
"l didn't know him."
279
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,807
"l only heard his name
mentioned in passing."
280
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,086
"l wouldn't know."
281
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,765
"You'd have to know
the particulars."
282
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,002
"Particulars" sounds
like my grandmother.
283
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,921
The point is, you don't know the guy.
We fucking get it.
284
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,611
Make it work with one line.
285
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,762
"L didn't even know
the man." Right?
286
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,930
Wait-- You know
my lines, too, huh?
287
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,442
Can we not get hung up
on knowing lines?
288
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,602
Can we just work on this?
Tear it apart?
289
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,127
So why don't you just give
me that same thing again,
290
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,362
but cut it down. Try it.
Uh...
291
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,965
I'm the wrong person to ask--
292
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,124
Oh, no! That's the thing--
"l'm the wrong person to ask."
293
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,201
I think it's, "Fuck you."
294
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,807
"Fuck you.
Don't put me on the spot."
295
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,805
"Don't make me feel
self-conscious about my marriage
296
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,882
"while my wife is sitting..."
297
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,804
Right there.
"...right there."
298
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,487
Can I sit down for this?
Yeah, sit. Good idea.
299
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,327
So just give it to me as a
"Fuck you." Lay it on me.
300
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:10,971
Just do it. Give it to me.
301
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,561
Well, I'm thinking. Fuck me hard.
Just give it.
302
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:14,801
Come on! Just do it!
303
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,088
Hey, I'm the wrong
person to ask!
304
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,083
I don't even know him.
What's your point?!
305
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,288
What's my point?
Yeah, what are you saying?
306
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,486
Spit it out!
on! on!
307
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,803
You're saying what? You're
saying love is absolute.
308
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,570
Yes! Yes!
309
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,769
The kind of love that I'm
talking about, it is absolute!
310
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,570
(VOICE BREAKING) The kind of
love that I'm talking about,
311
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:33,846
you don't...
312
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,321
...you don't try
to kill people.
313
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,171
Yeah. Good.
314
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,045
I don't know--
what do you think, boss?
315
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,691
You want to do
this with me?
316
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,525
What do you think?
317
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,445
Everybody's back. Larry needs
to see him for a fitting.
318
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,286
I'll take that as a yes.
319
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,365
So, who are you?
320
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,921
That's Sam, my daughter. Oh.
321
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,691
Wow! That's amazing. You don't
look anything like each other.
322
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,046
What do you do?
323
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:07,522
Um... She's my assistant.
Works with me.
324
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,525
And does she talk
and speak?
325
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,291
She does. Yeah.
326
00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:15,887
She can even sit or stay or roll
over, if you have any treats.
327
00:17:16,360 --> 00:17:17,725
Welcome aboard, Mike!
328
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,040
Thank you, Captain.
329
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,731
Um, I'm Mike...Shiner.
330
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,291
Oh, I know who you are.
331
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,928
I, uh, saw you in Hothouse
at the Geffen.
332
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,047
You were great.
333
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:31,771
Oh, thank you.
Your ass is great.
334
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,721
Dude. Seriously?
335
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,165
MIKE: That was just me--
336
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,402
Larry? Larry?
337
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,086
This is the theater,
sweetheart.
338
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,400
Don't be so self-conscious.
339
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,721
He's here.
340
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,241
Thank the Lord
and pass the biscuits.
341
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,321
I finally have

to stand there?

This is the theater, honey.
Don't be so self-conscious.

with less than 24 hours.

Where are your underpants?

at home, I think.

Forgive him, Larry. Mike's
like my 5-year-old son.

Neither of them
has clean underwear.

I can alter the suit,
358
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,081

make new trousers and shirts.

Well, get dressed.
364
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,291
Riggan's daughter is hanging
around-- she might walk in here.
365
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,766
You haven't seen her.
366
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,640
She's always around, watching
everyone, like Little Miss Creepy.

I don't know if drugs
fried her brain or what...

her running to her father

showed her yourjunk.
370
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,328

ask her to leave.

something to offend you?

Actually, you did.
1537
01:21:48,440 --> 01:21:50,044
You occupied
a theater which
1538
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:52,361
might have been used on
something worthwhile.
1539
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:58,284
Okay. But you don't even know
if it's any good or not.
1540

of it, or even seen a preview...

...but after
the opening tomorrow,
1542
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:08,127
I'm going to turn in the worst
review anybody has ever read.
1543

close your play.

and everyone you represent.

happen in a person's life

a critic, anwvay?

your fucking review.
