329
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,100
then a remarkable
phenomenon
presents itself.
330
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,200
We see...
331
00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:59,100
that what, at first,
appeared to be merely
accidental or unrehearsed...
332
00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:04,700
becomes on subsequent
viewings an indelible part
of the film's texture.

A distant landscape,
334

in the crowd,

even a banal message
on a T-shirt.
336
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:20,700
So, the largely unrecognized
art of film acting...
337
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,100
depends entirely
on the ability of the actor--
338
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,000
or, indeed, actress--
339
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:31,900
to make everything
about himself--
340
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,300
uh, or herself--
341
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,800
seem equally permanent.
342
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,300
When, thus,
343
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,100
an actor is called upon
to smile,
344
00:31:48,100 --> 00:31:52,400
he must try to select
a smile from a collection--
345
00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:58,200
a repertoire-- a whole
file of smiles, as it were.

00:46:19,700 --> 00:46:23,900
I guess not.
We just don't have
things this size in England.

I don't think so.

Ah, no. I've seen
your photograph.

Are you a film star?
Would you mind
just leaving me alone?

Oh, no, of course! You're
engaged to Abigail's idol.

I could really
do without this.
Oh, no, no, no, no.

huge crush on this very young...

American actor and his name
is Ronnie--

Is it, no. Ronnie--
Ronnie Bostock, isn't it?
506
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,700
You made a very
handsome couple.
507
00:46:59,700 --> 00:47:02,100
[ Woman ]
What kind of books
do you write?
508
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,100
Oh, I'm hardly
a household name
over here.

Are you working
on one now?
510
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:12,000
Well, if I'm inspired
by the soothing rustle
of the Long Island surf,
511

Walt Whitman put it.

a great time.

You can't
just hail a cab.
Indeed.

You've got a lot of groceries
for someone staying at a motel.
521
00:47:44,100 --> 00:47:47,800
Yes. I've-- I've always
been rather vague about
domestic arrangements,

how Americans shop,
what you eat and so on.

recommend the cheeseburgers
at Chez d'Irv.

Well, perhaps
you can recommend
somewhere superior.

seafood places up the coast,
but you gotta drive there.

Well, allow me to take you
out for a spot of lunch.

To thank you
for your kindness.

he have to do photographs
for the fan magazines?

Oh, photo shoots. Tell me
about it. He hates them.

Oh, seems
rather good at it.
Oh, sure. It just--
537

He thinks you can't be
a teen idol if you're
gonna be a serious actor.

Oh, does he?
539
00:49:02,500 --> 00:49:06,700
It's crazy. I mean, most of
the actors I know wait tables.

Why would they do that?

I can't wait to tell him I've
met a famous British writer...

of a young Olivier, was it?

Uh, a little.

a script for him or something.

And he says that
you're really big in England!

Tell him that I will
be following his career

Oh, I don't know.

of shy. I don't know,

not show it, right,

wants to hear
what you told me...

about his potential.

It's nothing

00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,300
Shakespeare?

00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,900
Oh, yes, his plays
are full of it.

Well, wait a minute.
594
00:55:06,300 --> 00:55:08,900
Are you saying that if
Shakespeare was alive today,
595

he'd be doin' things
like Hotpants College?
596
00:55:11,300 --> 00:55:13,700
All I'm saying, Ronnie,
597
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,400
is that Shakespeare
used bawdy humor
to please the mob in the pit.
598
00:55:18,900 --> 00:55:21,400
I never knew that.
599
00:55:21,500 --> 00:55:24,100

he was able to elevate

as have you.

was delicious, Audrey.

I'm talking
about a type of acting
that is purely instinctive.

You see, Ronnie, you have
something that gives even the
most casual look or gesture...
606
00:55:51,100 --> 00:55:53,000
a real intensity.

Oh, yes.

610

It was obvious to me that some
producer, some astute producer,

00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,900
had seen what I saw
when Abigail persuaded me
to see Hotpants College II.
612
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,600
I got that role because
I looked like the guy who
played Mikey in the original.
613
00:56:16,700 --> 00:56:21,400
Yes, but didn't you completely
reinvent the character
with a mere string of lines?
614
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,000
Didn't you make Mikey
the focus of the entire story?

00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:30,600
Well, I wouldn't
exactly say that.
616

Well, I don't know.
This may sound absurd, but--
619
00:56:42,900 --> 00:56:47,500

would be Wallis' painting...

I'd really like to see that.
623

But, Giles, we've seen
Hotpants in theaters with kids.
They don't get any of that.

- Of course not.
- But it's made for them.

ever see Tex Mex?

Oh, I did indeed,
more than once.
630
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,800
Really killed me
when that one bombed.
631
00:57:27,900 --> 00:57:32,400
Ah, yes, I'm afraid it suffered
the same fate in Europe.
632
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,000
I really believed
in that project.
It had--
633
00:57:35,100 --> 00:57:36,900
had a real message.
634
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,000
Yes, it was
a great shame really.
635
00:57:39,100 --> 00:57:42,700
In Europe, we have a much
stronger tradition of work...

with what
you call a message.
637
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:50,200
That is, after all,
why I've been persuaded
to write my first screenplay.
638
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,600
Yes, if Tex Mex
had been, say,
639
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:59,500
German about the plight
of the exploited Gastarbeiters,
640
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,700
it would have met
with a far greater success.
641
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:03,800
They have Mexicans
in Germany?
642
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,500
It probably would have made
less money than Hotpants,
643
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,600
but in Europe we're
not necessarily interested
in that kind of a success,
644
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:16,700
not when a film can change
the way people think.
645
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:31,300

is why I write.

You understand that

to do on the script.

[ Umpire ]

That's a strike, too, Giles.
823

Audrey, surely it is as clear
to you as it is to me...
824
01:11:04,300 --> 01:11:07,600
that he deserves
a great deal more
than "getting by."

He'll do it this time.
He never gets struck out.

Watch this, Giles.
It's gonna be a good one.
The bases are loaded.

in his life.

I'm also leaving

Ronnie, I'd like that very much.
842

Of course, you must honor
your obligations to Audrey.
843
01:13:10,100 --> 01:13:13,100
It strikes me that
you're very young to be
making such a commitment,

especially with your career
at this crucial stage.

It was like that
for you, wasn't it?

Uh, well,
I suppose so, yes.

Ronnie, there is
nothing more solitary
than an artist's life.

No doubt you'll find
that out for yourself.

Painfully, perhaps.

where to look for it.

to go back to Europe
and do more work.

to spend time there--

Listen to me, Ronnie.
884
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,100
In Europe, it is
often the case that a--

benefits from the--

the wisdom and
the experience of an elder.

01:16:10,900 --> 01:16:14,000
Why, there's
almost a tradition
of such friendships.
