You don't know what you're doing.
Please, go home.
l always wanted to hit $10 million.
Please... go home.
Can l do anything?
No, really.
Well, uh... thanks.
Thanks for the game.
What happened?
He's gone.
Did l hit him?
Oh, yes, quite badly.
l didn't want to hurt him.
l just... l just wanted
to chase him out, like...
...l didn't want to hurt him.
l just wanted to chase him out.
l guess he got scared
and he hit me.
Do you hold it against him?
Oh, no, l... no, l'm drunk.
l'm drunk.
How would you like to go out...
...to Doug Fairbanks'
ranch with me...
...and spend the night?
l know he would love to have you.
There you go.
Sleep.
Monroe.
Monroe, l've called an emergency
meeting of the board at 12:00...
...my office at the studio.
We'd be glad if you could come.
Morning, darling.
Your Monroe was in great form
last night.
See you later.
Ah, Monroe.
Come in.
Sit down.
l've just been speaking
with New York.
They've asked me to tell you...
...that they no longer
consider you competent...
...to negotiate with the writers.
They've asked me
to be the spokesman...
...of this board in all
further discussions.
They don't consider that, uh,
trying to beat up
the writers' representative...
...is in the company's best interest.
l just want to say that this
board endorses these views.
We also recommend that you
go away for a long rest.
Take a break.
Go to Tahiti or somewhere.
This studio will fall without me.
Take a break, Monroe.
This is a waste of time.
l'll be talking to New York.
They'll be glad to speak with you,
anytime.
Oh...
...and they said, "Be sure and see
a doctor about that eye."
Mr. Stahr.
We'll see the studio doesn't fall.
l'm sorry.
l can't ask you in.
So how do you want the girl?
l want a quiet life.
Any... pain?
Suppose you're in your office...
You've been fighting duels
all day, you're exhausted.
This is you.
The girl comes in.
She doesn't see you.
She takes off her gloves,
opens her purse,
dumps it out on the table.
You watch her.
This is you.
She has two dimes, a matchbox
and a nickel.
She leaves the nickel on the table,
puts the two dimes
back into her purse,
takes the gloves to the stove,
opens it, puts them inside.
She lights a match.
Suddenly, the telephone rings.
She picks it up.
She listens.
She says, "l've never owned
a pair of black gloves...
...in my life."
Hangs up, kneels by the stove,
lights another match.
Suddenly, you notice...
...there's another
man in the room...
...watching every move
the girl makes.
What happens?
l don't know.
l was just making pictures.
l don't want to lose you.
l don't want to lose you.

Harold Pinter

Harold Pinter (; 10 October 1930 – 24 December 2008) was a Nobel Prize-winning British playwright, screenwriter, director and actor. One of the most influential modern British dramatists, his writing career spanned more than 50 years. His best-known plays include The Birthday Party (1957), The Homecoming (1964), and Betrayal (1978), each of which he adapted for the screen. His screenplay adaptations of others' works include The Servant (1963), The Go-Between (1971), The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981), The Trial (1993), and Sleuth (2007). He also directed or acted in radio, stage, television, and film productions of his own and others' works. Pinter was born and raised in Hackney, east London, and educated at Hackney Downs School. He was a sprinter and a keen cricket player, acting in school plays and writing poetry. He attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art but did not complete the course. He was fined for refusing National service as a conscientious objector. Subsequently, he continued training at the Central School of Speech and Drama and worked in repertory theatre in Ireland and England. In 1956 he married actress Vivien Merchant and had a son, Daniel, born in 1958. He left Merchant in 1975 and married author Lady Antonia Fraser in 1980. Pinter's career as a playwright began with a production of The Room in 1957. His second play, The Birthday Party, closed after eight performances, but was enthusiastically reviewed by critic Harold Hobson. His early works were described by critics as "comedy of menace". Later plays such as No Man's Land (1975) and Betrayal (1978) became known as "memory plays". He appeared as an actor in productions of his own work on radio and film. He also undertook a number of roles in works by other writers. He directed nearly 50 productions for stage, theatre and screen. Pinter received over 50 awards, prizes, and other honours, including the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2005 and the French Légion d'honneur in 2007. Despite frail health after being diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in December 2001, Pinter continued to act on stage and screen, last performing the title role of Samuel Beckett's one-act monologue Krapp's Last Tape, for the 50th anniversary season of the Royal Court Theatre, in October 2006. He died from liver cancer on 24 December 2008. more…
