- Oh. Making sure you really
know each other, right?
- Heh heh!
- Do you come from money?
- Um...
We were comfortable, yeah.
- Old money?
- Charlie, enough.
- You're being fired.
Taken to the cleaners.
He's a lawyer.
- He's an odd duck, hmm?
- Yeah.
- ? I realize it's just
- Cute.
Vodka straight.
I will miss you.
You're a very strange man.
- How did you meet Levy?
- At Yaboom in Amsterdam.
You know it?
A whorehouse, yes?
For now he's director
of this piece of sh*t.
But someday...
Ciao, baby. Must go party,
party, party.
- Hey, boss.
- George. How's it going?
[ All cheering ]
- Charlie.
Hey.
They fired me?
- Yup.
- Who told you?
- Grier.
- Because of this?
- Nope.
- I have to call Howard.
- Draper's staying.
- He sold me out?
Wait a minute. Where you going?
- Where do you want me to go?
- Uh, well, Glenn and I
- Yeah.
- So, I don't know.
I guess we should say goodbye.
- You want a goodbye moment?
- Well, yeah.
Yeah, I mean...
? Opera ?
[ Knocking ]
[ Knocking ]
Hi. I had an idea.
Can I come in?
This might be interesting.
Very interesting, Charlie.
I was changing money
at the airport and...
Do you mind if I turn
this sh*t off here?
The studio said to
salvage what we could
and we still have
You know what? It can't
leave the country.
It's got to be spent
there or it goes away.
That's $3.5, $3.7 US.
OK...
Are you ready?
We makeBill and Ben.
Lionel's script.
It's beautifully-written.
What do you think?
I mean, would it be so
awful to make a movie
we could actually be proud of?
- Where's Glenn?
- You and I could
pull this off, Charlie.
The studio's in chaos,
so we make it look like we're
wrapping outFreedom Fighter,
but we don't send home the sets.
We rebuild them and we
use them forBill and Ben.
We'll keep Hans, Levy.
Not Andrei, he'll rat us out.
We can re-work one
of the Prague sets
to use it as the
House of Commons.
Ian Chadwick would
be great as Disraeli
wife, Lady Whositz,
We cast the whole thing
out of London and Prague,
L.A. will never know about it.
- You think this is lamb?
- We could make a real film.
- Why do you want to do this?
Because if it's for revenge,
that's not a very good reason.
Trust me.
- I'm not mad at Howard.
He did me a favour.
The stupidest job on
the planet:
development.I like production, Charlie.
I like being on the frontline!
- All right, I'll read it.
- Read what?
- Lionel's script.
- You never read it?
- Ah...
Levy, could you come to my
room in about 20 minutes?
We're going to have
a little meeting.
Let's keep it on the QT.
- Yeah. Where is the QT?
- No, I mean
don't tell anybody.
Except for Linda.
Ask her to come too.
- OK.
- In 15 minutes.
- Sure.
- Keep this quiet. Fiona?
Could you come too?
- Certainly.
- Morning!
- Good morning!
- Going to the
meeting, are you?
- Meeting?
- Right, I thought you
were a friend of Bill's.
- Who?
- So you're not going
to the AA meeting?
- Oh, no!
- Neither am I.
Much too early.
Maybe see you in the bar later.
[ Knocking ]
Morning, everyone.
- Nigel, come on.
Close the drapes.
- See if we have
any extras...
- Charlie, we made a mistake.
We shouldn't do this.
They'll arrest us.
You're completely right!
I'd arrest us. Wouldn't
you if you were them?
Let's just get to Prague
and wrap the office out
and I can bury the
costs of all this.
Did you hear me?
- Mmm-hmm.
- What do you think?
- They'll only arrest
us if it loses money.
- Hello, my friend.
How are you?
- Vladimir.
- Charlie Berns.
This is Deidre Hearn.
Levy, our director.
Our DP, Hans.
- You've been to Prague before?
- No, never.
- How are ya?
- You have the blueprints?
- We're going to make the
prison, House of Commons.
- He'll have to build
it from this sketch.
- I want to be shooting
on this set within a week.
- I can shoot Fiona and Nigel.
- It's impossible.
- Skip, call
your mom and dad.
Because you're the
new line producer.
We'll be back with Ben and Queen
Victoria in a couple days.
- See you Wednesday.
- Where are you going?
- Going to London!
- Just keep at it 24-7
till it looks
like Parliament.
- Uncle Charlie?
- OK...
- Thank you.
- Group hug.
All right, we gotta go.
He got snot
all over my shirt.
He did!
- Just be quiet.
He's having a big moment.
What do we tell Ian?
- That we have Vanessa.
- But we don't have Vanessa.
- She loved the script.
- She's putting in a bathroom.
- That's code.
She wants more money.
- How much more do
you think she wants?
- One bathroom.
Wonderful country, as
long as you're a mushroom.
- When were you
thinking of shooting?
- If I had my way, right after
No, I'm just kidding.
Next Wednesday in Prague.
- Wednesday?
Oh. I wasn't aware.
but I wasn't comfortable
giving out your number.
She's really passionate
about this project.
- She's doing it?
- She loves the script.
- I really can't.
You see, we're
renovating our kitchen.
- I completely understand.
- Ah...
Hello?
Hey Glenn, how are you?
[ Gasp ]
Um, hi.
I'm actually in London.
We're making-- Glenn, can you
hold on for one second?
Because I'm getting
another call.
OK.
Hi, it's Deidre.
Hey, Melanie.
You're kidding.
We got Ian.
- Imagine my shock.
- Ha!
Well, that's just great!
Thanks, Melanie.
I can't believe it!
I can't believe it!
We're going to jail!
How do you do it,
Charlie Berns?
- How's Glenn?
- Oh my God!
- What did you do with it?
- Shh! What if I
hit the button?
- There it is.
- Hello?
Oh, hi.
I thought I lost you.
So, things have
changed a little bit here.
We're making a movie.
No, not that movie,
a different movie.
- But he's suspicious
of you, Ben.
- I was not blind to the worldly
advantages of such an alliance.
heart not to be purchased.
- You have nothing
to prove to me.
- I found you as I thought.
Amiable, tender...
...gifted with no ordinary mind.
- CUT!
[ Levy yelling ]
[ All talking ]
- Morning, Lionel.
Excuse me a moment.
This scene this afternoon,
this chap here,
Mossad, would it be?
[ Laughing ]
CIA, perhap
- I'm sorry. I'm not sure
what you're asking.
- This is a different
script, Nigel.
- Oh. Completely different?
- Completely different.
- Oh!
Makes sense, doesn't it?
An improvement, I think.
- It's part of his process.
- Chief, I've got a
developing situation here.
We've lost the Countess.
- How?
- She's taking a series.
- I need coffee for this.
- But these are two
lovely actresses
not from L.A.
London, New York.
- New York's too close to L.A.
