the chopping block since day one.

- Yo!

- We talked about this.

This is not even

a bad scene, man.

I'm not saying it's a bad scene, it just

doesn't fit in this particular movie.

Look, this is why the

good Lord created DVDs.

Right? For deleted scenes

just like this one.

Yo, this brother

does a good job.

- A real good job.

- This who does a good job?

- This brother.

- You're gonna make it racial now?

I'm not making it racial, man.

This is Rodney's moment to

shine right here, okay?

This is Morgan Freeman

trailer talk right here.

No, look, she's already

made her mind up.

She loves Paul, she's gonna marry

Paul, he adds nothing new to that.

He's just getting in the way of

the whole ending of the movie.

- You're wrong.

- Look, I don't get pleasure out of doing this.

- You do! I know you do.

- I don't.

You knew I liked this,

and you wanna cut it out.

Look, think of it this way.

We're like surgeons... This is bullshit.

You've said this before.

We're like surgeons, and

this is malignant growth,

and we need to splice it out.

Did I ever tell you this?

Kevin Costner

was deleted from The Big Chill.

Did you know that?

F*** Kevin Costner.

Exactly.

Nick! Here!

Mike, I got a 7:
30 dinner

reservation, I can't...

Get the f*** in here.

- What's up?

- New project.

Okay... We start shooting

in two weeks, okay?

I tell the director you're

the man, you got the job.

You can stay right here, jump

right on to the next one.

Okay. I was actually curious to

see if you'd ask me about this.

- Okay.

- There is one thing.

- Is it a money thing?

- Yes.

- I can't work for less.

- Fine.

But it's all I got.

I'll get you an intern...

No, no. I'm not working with an intern.

Absolutely not.

I cannot afford two editors.

Well, then get

one shitty editor.

What do you want me to say?

Darryl and I have been

working together for years.

- Great!

- We're a team.

He's your wet nurse.

We complement each other.

Okay? He does all

the technical stuff,

all the organizational stuff,

he keeps everything tidy.

Whatever!

Learn that sh*t.

No, no, the point is,

I don't want to.

If he does all that stuff, it allows

me to focus on the editorial stuff.

To do a good job on

making the movie better.

Okay? That's why

we're a perfect team.

- I'm not kidding.

- I'm not kidding either!

- Fine!

- Fine!

Fine.

Fine which way?

My way.

Fine.

Okay. Well,

what does that mean?

You're selfish.

I'm just saying that sometimes

when we're intimate

you only think about yourself.

Okay. Is this about

last night?

Last night, I just...

I got overexcited.

That's what you do to me!

It's not like I didn't

try to get you off.

You get so defensive!

Baby, how can you say something

offensive like you just said to me

and expect me not

to get defensive?

You just don't

see possibilities.

What does that mean, baby?

You keep saying that. I

don't know what that means.

All right?

Every other night

- you're coming two or three times...

- Darryl... Shh.

Keep your voice down.

And the one time

I'm a minute man

you act like it's affecting our

relationship or something.

Don't talk to me like that.

Like what?

With that tone!

- That tone in your voice.

- I don't have a...

Baby, I naturally

have a deep voice.

Okay. Okay. Baby?

- Baby.

- What?

Okay. I hear

what you're saying.

All right? I do.

Next time I have a quick situation...

Mmm-hmm?

I'll go down

on you. Okay?

Fine. That's all

I wanted you to say.

See, this is why

compromise works.

You're right. A lot of the stuff that

you say, like, it resonates in me.

Good.

Wake up!

Talk to me.

No!

Get off. Mmm-mmm.

- Get off!

- Nope. This is it. I'm stuck.

I wanna sleep, seriously.

But this is the only time I ever

get to talk to you anymore.

We'll talk later.

- Nope.

- You just don't wanna go to work.

Don't make me go.

If I tell you something,

will you get off me?

Maybe.

I've been offered

to cut another movie.

- Really?

- Mmm-hmm.

That's great.

It's great, but the budget's not

gonna allow them to hire Darryl.

Hmm.

I know,

and I fought for him, too.

That's really too bad.

I could take less money

I guess.

Mmm-mmm. No, you can't do that, 'cause

you need to get rich so I can quit

and become a real

housewife of New Jersey.

You're right, I can't.

But you're a good boy for even

thinking about doing that.

My mom always

used to tell me that

every man wants to hear

that he's a good boy.

- Oh, yeah?

- That's what she said.

Well, you are a very,

very, very good boy.

- You're in a good mood.

- Mmm-hmm.

- Yep.

- What's going on?

- I wanna have sex with you.

- Excuse me?

I wanna do it.

First of all,

it's way too early.

Oh, yeah?

Secondly, you're gonna be

extremely late to work.

I know.

Thirdly, I have to be

romanced a little bit more.

I'm not that easy.

- What if I, uh, romanced you right now?

- Uh-oh, don't...

- Don't do that.

- Do you like that?

Can I help you?

Oh! You don't even

need to be romanced.

That's not for you.

- Who's it for?

- That's for the mattress.

- Please?

- Okay. All right.

I gotta pee first though.

- Will you brush your teeth, too?

- So demanding!

But is there some sort of

supervisor I can talk to?

Oh, you're your own

supervisor. Okay.

Well, in that case...

Hello? Hello?

No, no, no, I'm in an elevator,

I can't call you back.

No, it took forever

for me to talk to you

- and to get through because of your...

- Hey, dog, dog!

- Oh, sh*t!

- Where's the door-open button?

I just have a key.

It's not working!

You should let go

of that leash.

Okay. What do we do?

What the f***!

- Let go. Let it go.

- Okay.

- No, the leash, let it go!

- Oh!

Oh, my God. Oh!

- Baxter!

- Move, watch out, watch out!

Whoa, you have a knife?

Eagle Scout.

It's the highest rank attainable

in the Boy Scouts of America.

- Hi.

- Hey. Uh...

Sorry to interrupt the process.

I was actually

looking for Adrian?

Hi I'm Nick Burger. I'm the editor.

Hey!

Jamie Kirkland, I'm, uh...

Yeah, I know who you are.

Adrian's out sick today.

Is there anything

I can help you with?

Well, I just came by to check

out some of the scenes.

Do you mind if I stick

around for a bit, or...

You wanna sit down?

- Yeah, that'd be great.

- Yeah, sure, you wanna have a seat?

Cool, thanks.

Honestly, I think more people were

worried about the dog dying...

- Did you have one of those animal cruelty...

- Oh, yes!

The ASPCA, or whatever it is?

I couldn't get the initials down,

but, yeah, we had one of those.

Just monitoring the dog, making

sure the dog was happy...

It was hard core!

- Hey!

- Hey, this is my assistant editor,

- D-Money.

- It's Darryl.

- Hey, how you doing?

- You remember Jamie.

- Nice to meet you.

- Good to see you.

No, we actually met

at the wrap party.

I don't know if you remember.

Oh, sh*t. Yeah, I do.

Yeah, we danced

to Thriller together.

Great, it was fun,

a lot of fun.

I didn't get a chance to
