you're writing another book.
357
00:22:34,978 --> 00:22:37,180
I'll be the first to buy it.
358
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,181
Did you hear Tom Clancy
is getting paid
359
00:22:41,183 --> 00:22:42,216
three million dollars
360
00:22:42,218 --> 00:22:44,451
to write more right-wing
macho bullshit?
361

365

366

to presume they're any good.
367

368

369
00:23:03,238 --> 00:23:05,075
They might be.
370
00:23:06,342 --> 00:23:08,408
Or they might not be.
371
00:23:08,410 --> 00:23:10,180
You know, I could take a look.
372
00:23:11,212 --> 00:23:12,345

three million dollars
378
00:23:23,926 --> 00:23:26,392
to write some more
red-baiting propaganda.
379
00:23:26,394 --> 00:23:29,530
Lee, my morning
has been long enough already.
380
00:23:29,532 --> 00:23:31,332
He's a fraud.
381
00:23:31,334 --> 00:23:32,299
What's your point?
382
00:23:32,301 --> 00:23:35,034
He was drinking sherry
at your party.
383
00:23:35,036 --> 00:23:37,571
No self-respecting writer
would drink sherry.
384
00:23:37,573 --> 00:23:39,139
Oh, Lord, Lee.
385
00:23:39,141 --> 00:23:40,674
I need you to get me
a book advance
386
00:23:40,676 --> 00:23:42,610
on my Fanny Brice book.
387
00:23:42,612 --> 00:23:44,311
I need you to get
ten thousand dollars.
388
00:23:44,313 --> 00:23:47,380
I'm months behind in my rent,
and my cat is sick.
389
00:23:47,382 --> 00:23:49,550
And isn't this the exact
reason that I have an agent?
390
00:23:49,552 --> 00:23:52,320
I can't get you an advance
like that, Lee. I just can't.
391
00:23:52,322 --> 00:23:54,454
Give me one reason
why that cocky shit
392
00:23:54,456 --> 00:23:55,621
gets three million dollars...
393
00:23:55,623 --> 00:23:57,657
and you can't get me
ten thousand?
394
00:23:57,659 --> 00:23:59,059
Are you that bad of an agent?
395
00:23:59,061 --> 00:24:01,261
Toni, could you please
close the door?
396
00:24:01,263 --> 00:24:05,166
Ms. Israel and I have some
sensitive business to discuss.
397
00:24:05,168 --> 00:24:06,734
LEE: Yeah, God forbid
you have to hear
398
00:24:06,736 --> 00:24:09,069
an adult conversation, Toni!
399
00:24:09,071 --> 00:24:10,737
I'll give you three reasons.
400
00:24:10,739 --> 00:24:14,006
Number one,
Tom Clancy is famous.
401
00:24:14,008 --> 00:24:16,009
(SCOFFS)
Here we go!
402
00:24:16,011 --> 00:24:18,678
Yes, you have written a couple
of successful biographies
403
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,846
and you've managed to disappear
404
00:24:19,848 --> 00:24:21,380
behind your subject matter,
405
00:24:21,382 --> 00:24:24,418
but because of that,
nobody knows who you are!
406
00:24:24,420 --> 00:24:26,152
Because I'm doing my job.
407
00:24:26,154 --> 00:24:29,089
Number two, Tom Clancy
does every radio show.
408
00:24:29,091 --> 00:24:32,292
He does Larry King.
He goes to every book signing.
409
00:24:32,294 --> 00:24:33,560
He plays the game.
410
00:24:33,562 --> 00:24:35,595
Meanwhile, you have destroyed
411
00:24:35,597 --> 00:24:37,398
every bridge
I have built for you.
412
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,467
See, that is beside the point.
I am doing good writing!
413
00:24:40,469 --> 00:24:44,004
Number three. Nobody wants
a book about Fanny Brice.
414
00:24:44,006 --> 00:24:48,175
There is nothing new or sexy
about Fanny Brice.
415
00:24:48,177 --> 00:24:50,110
I couldn't get you
a $10 advance
416
00:24:50,112 --> 00:24:52,248
for a book about Fanny Brice.
417
00:24:54,382 --> 00:24:57,554
I had a book on the New York
Times bestseller list.
418
00:24:58,488 --> 00:25:01,958
That has to count
for something.
419
00:25:06,062 --> 00:25:09,130
Lee, I have known you
a long time,
420
00:25:09,132 --> 00:25:12,299
and believe me,
it hurts to say this to you.
421
00:25:12,301 --> 00:25:14,834
Tell me what to do
then, Marjorie.
422
00:25:14,836 --> 00:25:16,871
I have to do something.
423
00:25:16,873 --> 00:25:17,938
I'll take anything.
424
00:25:17,940 --> 00:25:20,140
Magazine pieces,
cracker box copy.
425
00:25:20,142 --> 00:25:24,346
Okay. Okay.
You have two options.
426
00:25:25,648 --> 00:25:27,180
You either become
a nicer person,
427
00:25:27,182 --> 00:25:30,517
you put on a clean shirt,
you stop drinking,
428
00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:32,185
you say "please"
and "thank you."
429
00:25:32,187 --> 00:25:34,755
Oh, God. Give me
a fucking break, please.
430
00:25:34,757 --> 00:25:37,757
Well, clearly that's
not going to happen.
431
00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:40,025
Or you can take
the time to go out
432
00:25:40,027 --> 00:25:42,362
and make a name for yourself.
433
00:25:42,364 --> 00:25:44,765
And then maybe, maybe,
434
00:25:44,767 --> 00:25:47,668
I can get you paid
for your work again.
435
00:25:47,670 --> 00:25:50,836
And how is it that I'm
supposed to do that, Marjorie?
436
00:25:50,838 --> 00:25:52,805
I'm a 51-year-old woman
437
00:25:52,807 --> 00:25:55,209
who likes cats
better than people.
438
00:25:55,943 --> 00:25:58,746
Not exactly hot and sexy,
as you like to say.
439
00:25:58,748 --> 00:26:00,447
Write your book
in your own voice.
440
00:26:00,449 --> 00:26:03,484
Well, you've been threatening
to do it for 10 years.
441
00:26:03,486 --> 00:26:05,319
I'd love to, Marjorie.
442
00:26:05,321 --> 00:26:07,721

I have bills to pay.

I have a couple
of questions regarding
1071

the last Coward letter
I purchased.

Please come in or call
as soon as you can.

Thank you for bringing it in.

Hi, Lee.
1078
01:00:58,877 --> 01:01:01,214
What seems to be the problem?
1079
01:01:02,582 --> 01:01:06,586
You know I've got that client
who knew Noël Coward.
1080
01:01:07,488 --> 01:01:08,786
And he said that...
1081
01:01:08,788 --> 01:01:13,125
Mr. Coward would never have
been as explicit as he was
1082
01:01:13,127 --> 01:01:17,194
regarding his orientation.
1083
01:01:17,196 --> 01:01:19,365
It was illegal
in those days, and...
1084
01:01:20,065 --> 01:01:23,600
Anyway, apparently,
the letter is a fake.
1085
01:01:23,602 --> 01:01:25,370
I'm shocked.
1086
01:01:25,372 --> 01:01:28,239
I mean, my uncle
would be appalled.
1087
01:01:28,241 --> 01:01:30,375
You mean, your cousin?
1088
01:01:30,377 --> 01:01:31,676
Yes.
1089
01:01:31,678 --> 01:01:37,183

very avuncular toward me. So.

from Los Angeles, Lee.

It seems one of your letters
was quite the controversy
1093

name's been put on a list.

in here to see me.

They asked me to wear a wire.

just died, and...

- Oh.
- No, it's all right.

01:03:38,772 --> 01:03:39,971
And I discovered these

be of interest to you or not.

So your granny
collected letters?
1133

I don't know
any of the people in them,
1134
01:04:03,129 --> 01:04:05,964
but I feel they must be
worth something.
1135
01:04:05,966 --> 01:04:07,498

1136
01:04:07,500 --> 01:04:09,167
that I bought
this kind of thing?

- Do you?
- Sure.

01:04:11,370 --> 01:04:16,074
Yeah. I could give you
$50 a piece.

better than that.

but a store in Brooklyn

sell it to them, then?

to paying back

is paying attention,

out of the box,

you drank constantly,

I was perfect.
1421
01:21:13,259 --> 01:21:15,194
You were so miserable.
1422
01:21:17,328 --> 01:21:19,498
- No, I wasn't.
- Yes, you were.

I don't know if you've noticed
this, but I don't do that.

01:22:16,154 --> 01:22:18,088
And you have reminded me
why that is.

Lee, I took care
of your cat. I swear.
1444

It was an accident,

We will continue

no other option.

you fuck everything else
up in your life.

you will get the money,
