Bullets Over Broadway Page #14

Synopsis: 1920s Broadway. Playwright David Shayne considers himself an artist, and surrounds himself with like minded people, most struggling financially as they create art for themselves, not the masses. David, however, believes the failure of his first two plays was because he gave up creative control to other people who didn't understand the material. As such, he wants to direct his just completed third play, "God of Our Fathers", insider scuttlebutt being that it may very well make David the toast of Broadway. With David having no directing history, David's regular producer, Julian Marx, can't find any investors,... until a single investor who will finance the entire production comes onto the scene. He is Nick Valenti, a big time mobster, with the catch being that his dimwitted girlfriend, non-actress Olive Neal, get the lead role. A hesitant David and Julian, who are able to talk Nick into them giving Olive one of the two female supporting roles instead, go along with the scheme hoping that

- Sex is economics.

- Bullshit. Ellen, come down here.

I wanna talk to you.

I love you. I wanna see you.

Come down here.

- All right.

- What do you mean "All right"?

What about me?

You're great, Flender, but it's no use.

I'll never get over David.

Couldn't you tell? Each time

I climaxed, I'd scream, "David! David!"

I thought you were saying,

"Do it! Do it!"

Flender, stop it.

Leave 'em alone.

Can't you see

they love each other?

I'm finished with it:

living in the garrets...

eating cheese and drinking wine

and analyzing art in coffee houses.

It's over.

I love you.

- I want us to get married.

We'll go back to Pittsburgh.

- But you're a success.

- You have a hit. Why the sudden change?

- We'll have kids.

- Because I've wasted too much

time already. I love you.

- But you're an artist.

No, I'm not.

I'm not.

I'll explain it all to you on

the train back to Pittsburgh.

There's two things of which I'm certain.

One is that I love you.

Two is that

I'm not an artist.

There, I said it,

and I feel free.

I'm not an artist.

- Will you marry me?

- Yes.

We're all alone, no chaperone

can get our number

The world's in slumber

Let's misbehave

There's something wild

about you, child

That's so contagious

Let's be outrageous

Let's misbehave

When Adam won Eve's hand

he wouldn't stand for teasin'

He didn't care about

those apples out of season

They say that spring

means just one thing

To little lovebirds

We're not above birds

Let's misbehave

Let's misbehave

[ Scatting Continues ]

Let's misbehave

If you'd be just so sweet and

only meet your fate, dear

'Twould be the great event

of 1928, dear

[ Scatting ]

Let's misbehave
