The Heart of the Deal Page #4

---

- Who are you?

- Dan Turner.

- Where's Deidre Hearn?

- She's development.

Look, it's no secret I'm

not a fan of this project--

- Deidre Hearn isn't coming?

- No, you're stuck with me.

- Could you excuse yourself?

- Excuse me?

- Yes, could you?

- Could I...

- I want to have dinner here,

but I don't want

to have dinner with you.

- I'm sorry I came

across a little strong

about the script,

but I'm tired.

- No, the script's

a piece of sh*t.

It's just that I don't want

to have dinner with you.

Don't worry, I'll

drink your martini.

Howard Draper, please.

Could you give Howard a message?

It's Charlie Berns calling from

Ben Disraeli:
Freedom Fighter.

Tell him Bobby--

That's all right. Disraeli.

Tell him Bobby Mason

absolutely insists

that Deidre Hearn be assigned to

be the studio exec on this film.

He says it's a deal breaker.

Yes, I would call

it an emergency.

- Thank you for flying

South African Airways.

- Thank you. You guys

have been great.

Hey! Who do you think you are?

Howard Draper is not

a man that you threaten.

And if he weren't in

corporate sh*t right now

you would be so gone!

- Welcome to Cape Town,

mother city of South Africa.

- Where am I staying?

- At a hotel.

- What hotel?

- We're all at the same hotel.

- I want to stay at

a different hotel.

- OK.

- I'm engaged.

- Yes, you told me

at the coffee shop.

He's got a very talented cock.

Can I help you with that?

- No, get away.

- I mean, if you're

just going to be bitchy,

sh*t, might as well go home.

- Oh...

So this is why I

had to rush over here?

Why I had to rearrange

my whole life,

because you thought

you'd get lucky?

Well, tough luck, pal.

I'm here and I'm staying.

There's a new sheriff in town

and I'm going to

watch you like a hawk.

Next time, try thinking

with your big head.

Ah! Are you smiling?

What are you smiling about?

- Nothing. I'm relieved,

that's all.

- About what?

- For a bit there,

I thought you weren't

attracted to me.

I bring out a

lot of passion in you.

and you brought up

having an affair.

Plus, you referenced my penis.

I can't do tricks

with it, but...

Wait, where you going? Hold on.

OK, don't hurt yourself.

- Oh, dammit!

Where the hell am I going?

- I'm not telling!

Ha ha!

- Temple on fire,

sh*t everywhere.

Bobby run through columns,

shoot bad guy.

Pow! Pow!

Camera track,

Bobby see flames, Torah.

y leap in front of Bobby,

Camera track,

Bobby see flames, Torah.d gu

Bobby kick bad guy.

Bye-bye!

Bad guy! Boom!

Bobby jump, swing over fire.

Gets Torah.

Bobby see girl.

Wounded, unconscious,

legs for days.

Bobby pick up girl.

Bobby, girl, and Torah run.

Bobby, gRun, run...rah run.

Big explosion! Boom!

Temple destroyed.

- I shoot in pieces.

- No coverage.

This is my shot.

My signature shot.

- I got a ballpark from

various departments.

This one shot

is well over 100.

We got that government fund

we have to use up.

- No Fiona. She's only boarded

for Cape Town.

It's a lot of

money. Charlie?

- Deidre?

- Um...

This is not my

area of expertise.

- Well, it is an action movie,

and action is pretty

much all we've got.

- I think Deidre is absolutely

right. Let's do it!

Hey Levy, you won one!

[ Applause ]

- Way to go, mate.

[ Speaking German ]

- Sorry Hans, missed that.

[ Speaking Hebrew ]

- Don't ever do

that to me again.

- What?

- Put me on the

spot like that.

- I was trying

to include you.

I thought you'd like to

be asked your opinion,

being a woman and all.

- I know you're trying to be

insulting and I'm not biting.

Let's finish the studio notes.

- Go ahead.

- No, sit. These are important

and we need to address them.

OK, we did these...

- Would you like

a cup of coffee?

- No, thank you.

The studio is concerned

about the f*** scenes.

F*** scenes between people

of different colours

can be offensive to--

[ Laughing ]

- I'm sorry. This is my job.

- Is it all right if they ride

in the same jeep together?

- Yes, as long as she

doesn't go down on him.

[ Truck horn ]

Wait a minute, what is that?

Is there another

movie on the lot?

- No, those are Bobby's.

Bobby's pop-out, Bobby's gym,

and Bobby's mobile temple.

- Ah... prissy.

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Sighing ]

Well, of course.

I have to call Howard,

see what we're doing.

- Why? What's going on?

- They sold the studio

to the Canadians.

- Hey, it's the grand poobah!

The big cheese!

- Hey, did you

hear my great news?

I am starting a...

Wait, what am I starting?

- A bold, exciting new--

- A bold exciting new

chapter of my life.

- Well, congratulations.

- Don't you worry, a door

closes, a window ope

- Hopefully not

on a high floor.

[ Laughing ]

- Good night, everyone.

- Ah, don't you look

so very Hemingway.

Would you like to

buy a lady a drink?

- I would love to.

- Great.

Fresh meat to lay my troubles

on. I wore her out.

- No, but I'm going to.

If Howard goes, I go.

Oh. I'd like a

vodka on the rocks

with a twist.

And here's the twist.

I'd like a double.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Thank you.

Yeah, CGC bought the

studio. $2.16 a share.

So here's my question.

I am a team player.

I am a paragon of integrity.

And yet still,

I am hanging onto Howard

Draper's coattails by a thread.

I am draped on Draper.

He'll take care of me though.

Yeah.

- Oh yeah.

- Good evening.

- Ah!

You're a little bit early.

Deidre, this is...

- Gabriella.

- Hi.

- I was told it was only--

- Yes. I'm not going

to make you wait.

I've got that phone

number for you.

- Thank you very much.

- I'll do a 3-way with

the lady, but it costs.

- No, change of plans.

- You still pay one hour.

- Absolutely. Shake my hand.

- Take my card.

- I'm going to walk away,

I'm going to say,

"I'll call him tonight."

and you say, "Thank you."

I'll call him later tonight.

- Thank you.

- Who was that?

- Oh, Peter, my driver.

- That can't be

Peter, your driver.

- That's his daughter. She wants

to get on the film.

I gave her

But you were going

to ask me a question.

- Were you ever married?

- Repeatedly.

- Huh.

But that is not my question.

Are you having any fun?

That is my question,

because I don't think I am.

I mean, I would

love to be like you.

You have no integrity.

- Thank you.

- I have to take

my hat off to you.

Hmm.

OK, give it back.

If I sleep with you,

can I go home?

- No.

- Pff...

- Charlie?

Charlie, it's Andrei!

[ Shower running ]

- Oh!

- Ah!

- I tried to call you!

- This better be good.

- I'm so sorry, boss.

Bobby's here. He wants

to see you right away.

Evening, Rabbi.

- Charlie, any chance of

changing to Bobby's hotel?

My room's a little small, and--

- No.

- Hey!

- Charlie Berns.

This is Deidre Hearn.

- How you doing?

- Hey, man.

- Check this out.

Crew hats.

Are these phat or what?

Just want to make sure you're

this type of sh*t.

It's real important to me.

Bring the crew together.

You gotta pass the ball.

Excuse me, I gotta hit the rack.
