Me and Orson Welles Page #4
Once I stood at the central station
when I had to take leave of one girl.
I loved her. We could not live
without each other, so we would marry us.
First she was traveling with his father,
and when we said goodbye -
we knew that we should not be seen
for nearly a year.
I did not think I could
survive it. And she stood and wept.
Now I do not even know where she lives,
or if she is alive.
If she thinks of me
imagine herself enough, I still -
dancer in a ballroom
somewhere.
Life and money behave both as
mercury into an already full of cracks.
We do not know where they disappear to.
Or what the heck we've done them.
Runyon, you must take
a decision. It is about -
how much a man will do
of love. How much would you do?
Everything that is needed.
What the hell was that?
- I improvised a little.
I thought it was somewhat famous.
No matter where you got it from, it was
the best there was in the piece.
They feel good, it was the best,
that was not present in the play.
Now I open the door for you to.
Tell the others
I come a little later.
Step forward.
And follow after me.
Well ...
Just hold 20-minute break.
Hopefully, when he saw
to come back. Good work.
Good work?
Good work? I think Mercury
is closed and turned off from on Friday.
People in 1937 will not pay two U.S. dollars
to see a tragedy.
My advice to you, dear fellow players ...
Shine your food descriptions.
Come in.
Hello.
- Hey, Junior. How are you?
I'm waiting for Orson.
valiant defense in Shanghai
stands on the brink.
All day yesterday drove
Japanese tanks in the streets of Shanghai ...
It feels as if the whole world
is about to collapse.
We can reassure ourselves that we
in these times of doing something important.
We write lists of subscribers.
- Yes, it's crazy.
In such hard times continue public
their usual chores.
You have some beautiful eyes.
Tell who you are.
Who I am?
- Yes.
You must not talk about your
childhood love or parents.
Tell who you are.
What do you want?
- It's a difficult question.
What do you think?
Plays, films,
songs, lyrical works.
..
novels, radio.
Well, there's so much different.
Precisely. Life is about more
than just being an actor.
Why you flounce around on stage?
- Flounce?
You know what I mean.
All the vanity.
It's interesting.
Either close the theater, or
people remember the show for many years.
It may be either or, but we
do not know. That is interesting.
Where are you love.
You make everything look so romantic.
What shall we do later?
I will meet with John.
I'll be there in half an hour.
- Since no Houseman?
He gotta be 30? What will you
Such an old, half called man?
How old are you?

To December.
Prefer not a young, lively guy
rather than an old English man?
He leads an entire theater on your own
and has offered me a management position.
What can you offer?
- Prosperity, travel, fame.
I can take you into watching movies
which contains everything.
Orson is out of Virginia
tomorrow evening.
I spend the night in his apartment
when I'm working on.
So we can go out tomorrow evening.
We can go dancing? And go home
in Orson apartment and get a drink?
Does this sound too daunting?
Certainly not.
Are you married or a bachelor?
- Answer every man on the spot.
Yes, and maps.
- Yes, and sensible.
Yes, and sincerely.
- What's my name?
Where I should go? Where I live?
- Thank you! It is a worse time dirt.
Cinna is Shakespeare's indictment against the
intellectuals. He is a noble figure.
I absolutely disagree!
He is a street poet
and can not afford a cigarette.
He is unshaven,
and poems sticking out of his shoes -
but the crowd will see blood,
so they will kill him anyway.
What absurd interpretation. The
does not match the text.
However, there is perhaps something
, I can use.
Horace Braham
"Consequences", 1914
I am the wet poet Cinna!
Get the water off the switchboard!
- So close but the damn water!
There is a disconnect in the basement!
- So close when the water!
Beware!
What a f***ing shed! How should
be premiered on Thursday?
Welcome to the seaside festival.
Living told you, the light was too hot.
It should be lowered.
What?
Then it's adjustment.
We will not be ready
at the premiere.
It was f***ing time!
Come in here! Make this toilet clean!
I'll show you
what dictatorships are! Come in here!
Those who are not located on the floor with
a cloth for two minutes, is fired!
Wipe the seats first. We certainly do not
need critics with wet butts.
Get some more rags!
Matches here were on the floor
by sprinklers on top.
Sabotage!
Not only that I did not get any
sleep and off my money in the theater!
Someone has deliberately tried
to destroy my idea.
I want to know who the culprit is.
Come up here now.
He can never again
work in New York.
I will check the fingerprints of
this box of matches!
I want a name!
And it must be right now!
We were all together
with the Cinna-scene.
It could have been anything.
- There are matches everywhere.
Living says it is light fault.
- What he knows about it? Sabotage!
Wait a minute.
Where did you go, junior?
You were not on stage.
It was you. Grant,
or I suggest you pick fish.
No, I was outside.
- Admit.
The infamous incident.
Maybe it was just
the notorious accident.
The infamous incident?
Naturally.
If they call back from school,
because you are not there ...
Mom, look at it as an investment in
my future as a kind of artist.
Just like your Uncle Frank?
This is different. One fine day
the whole town know who I am.
Well then. You will be known as him
not graduated.
"You undisturbed secrecy breaches -
you silence
and slow fetal baby.
A forest should be that at best can
recite a thriving story. "
Gretta? We met each other in the Gaiety.
You played Gershwin ...
Well, the actor.
- Yes.
Now I am a real actress.
I have had a role in Orson Welles'
setup of Julius Caesar.
Probably.
No, it's true enough.
I play Lucius, Brutus' servant.
Makes you not fun?
- No, we will premiere on Thursday.
How nice.
- I can put a ticket for you.
I am only in a few scenes,
but it is fun.
Who quoted you?
- Keats.
"Ode to a Greek urn.
How can we avoid
think of the poem when you are here?
Yes.
"When old age
ravaging this generation -
will still exist -
among second pain
than our own -
a friend of mankind. "
It is incredibly beautiful.
I should not even be here.
I should work on my piece.
I have not received written
my three pages today. Or yesterday.
According to my schedule
I am 48 pages behind.
But I wrote a short story finished yesterday.
O'clock twenty minutes over three tonight.
The envelope is stamped and the short story
is ready to be rejected.
What is it for?
About a museum.
It's called "hungry generations".
It's a fun story about a girl
taking thither when she is sad.
What happens then?
What do you think?
