00:31:19,711 --> 00:31:21,546
Well, what else don't you like?
532
00:31:21,630 --> 00:31:23,757
(CHUCKLING)
I'd be afraid to tell ya.
533
00:31:27,052 --> 00:31:29,304
How about some champagne
to clinch the deal?
534
00:31:29,429 --> 00:31:31,890
No thanks,
I never touch the stuff.
535
00:31:32,474 --> 00:31:36,853
Oh, no, Jim, no!
(LAUGHING)
536
00:31:42,109 --> 00:31:43,610
Oh...
537
00:31:45,153 --> 00:31:47,072
To new friendships.
538
00:31:47,197 --> 00:31:49,074
To new friendships.
539
00:31:49,533 --> 00:31:51,701
And to many more evenings like this.
540
00:31:55,247 --> 00:31:56,748
Mmm.
541
00:32:04,548 --> 00:32:06,383
Doesn't it get to be
an expensive habit,
542
00:32:06,466 --> 00:32:08,343
smashing things up like that?
543
00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:11,555
There ain't nothin'
I wouldn't do for a friend.
544
00:32:14,724 --> 00:32:16,685
You never did answer
my question...
545
00:32:17,310 --> 00:32:18,687
about my act.
546
00:32:18,895 --> 00:32:20,605
Oh, yes, your act.
547
00:32:21,898 --> 00:32:23,650
Seems like awfully hard work.
548
00:32:25,485 --> 00:32:27,070
Well, I guess it does, at that.
549
00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:29,948
There's somethin'
I don't understand, though.
550
00:32:30,907 --> 00:32:33,326
I know the stage
is pretence and all,
551
00:32:33,577 --> 00:32:35,454
but where's the real you?
552
00:32:36,288 --> 00:32:40,292
The one I see here is
far more appealing, more exciting,
553
00:32:40,375 --> 00:32:42,919
more sensual than the
one I saw at the theatre.
554
00:32:47,299 --> 00:32:48,967
Mmm...
555
00:32:49,718 --> 00:32:52,012
Well, I couldn't put that up on stage.
556
00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:53,847
And why not?
557
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:56,641
Oh, I don't know.
558
00:32:57,934 --> 00:33:00,645
If I was ever to
put the real me up there,
559
00:33:00,729 --> 00:33:02,772
you'd be gettin' me outta jail.
560
00:33:02,856 --> 00:33:05,066
And what's wrong with that?
561
00:33:05,150 --> 00:33:07,360
- Oh. (CHUCKLING)
- I'm serious.
562
00:33:07,444 --> 00:33:09,237
I'm a good lawyer.
563
00:33:09,654 --> 00:33:12,491

See what happens.
564
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:19,414

I am not the most gorgeous
creature you ever saw,

but when I walk out
onto that stage,
628

I have to make them
629

believe
630
00:37:12,897 --> 00:37:14,315
I am.

The Fuller Brush?
634
00:37:33,126 --> 00:37:35,253
Oh, and, my dear, that hair.
635
00:37:36,671 --> 00:37:39,841
The way you wear it,
it makes your face look fat.
636
00:37:41,092 --> 00:37:42,510
Fat?!
637
00:37:42,594 --> 00:37:45,305
Yeah, that's what I said, fat.
F-A-T.
638
00:37:45,388 --> 00:37:47,140
Come along, sit down.
639
00:37:47,223 --> 00:37:48,600
Come on.
640
00:37:50,769 --> 00:37:54,147
See, if... if I bring
your hair back, like this,
641
00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:56,316
and down, over your shoulder
642
00:37:56,399 --> 00:38:00,695
it gives your jawline
a longer line, see?
643
00:38:00,779 --> 00:38:02,822
Here, now look.
644
00:38:03,573 --> 00:38:05,200
Hmm.

00:38:06,451 --> 00:38:08,453

a hell of a lot better.

- Oh, really?
- And I was wondering,
1030
00:57:21,021 --> 00:57:23,565
could you take your scenes
1031
00:57:23,649 --> 00:57:25,609
and rewrite them for me?
1032
00:57:25,692 --> 00:57:27,152
I'll give you a free hand.
1033
00:57:28,403 --> 00:57:29,738
Wait a minute.
1034
00:57:29,821 --> 00:57:31,907

I can take those scenes
1035
00:57:31,990 --> 00:57:34,242
- and do 'em my way?
- Right.

1037
00:57:47,923 --> 00:57:51,051
- We are shut down, Mr Kaufman.
- Yeah, I can see that.
1038
00:57:51,176 --> 00:57:52,094
Why?
1039
00:57:52,177 --> 00:57:56,264
Apparently, Miss West prefers
to direct the picture herself.
1040
00:57:56,348 --> 00:57:58,350
Isn't that so, Miss West?

1042
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,399
wants to out the camera
after my line,
1043
00:58:05,482 --> 00:58:06,900
but you can't do that.
1044
00:58:06,984 --> 00:58:09,403
You gotta stay with me
as I go up the stairs.
1045
00:58:09,486 --> 00:58:10,988
It's a waste of film, Mr Kaufman.
1046
00:58:11,071 --> 00:58:12,948
The scene's over after
she's delivered the line.
1047
00:58:13,031 --> 00:58:14,408
No, it ain't.
If you out there,

00:58:17,911 --> 00:58:19,037
Over that.
1051
00:58:19,121 --> 00:58:22,499
- Let's see the scene.
- All right, then.
1052
00:58:23,375 --> 00:58:25,877
- Miss West.
- Mr Mayo.
1053
00:58:30,007 --> 00:58:31,591
Action.
1054
00:58:36,722 --> 00:58:39,433
Goodness, what beautiful diamonds.
1055
00:58:39,516 --> 00:58:42,394
Goodness had nothin'
to do with it, dearie.

(MEN LAUGHING)

It's funny, Archie.
1058
00:59:08,462 --> 00:59:10,005
Here comes Raft.
1059
00:59:11,298 --> 00:59:14,384
Ah, George, what do you think?

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
1061
00:59:16,011 --> 00:59:18,597
Mae West stole
everything but the cameras.
1062
00:59:22,476 --> 00:59:25,312
Well, boys,
looks like we got ourselves
1063
00:59:25,395 --> 00:59:27,606
a brand new movie star.
1064
00:59:30,442 --> 00:59:31,610
Yes, she is.
1065
00:59:31,735 --> 00:59:32,903
She is not.
1066
00:59:34,112 --> 00:59:36,156
Mae West is not a movie star.
1067
00:59:37,491 --> 00:59:40,869
Mr Timony, surely you can
look at this from our position.
1068
00:59:41,119 --> 00:59:43,538
Diamond Lil's about the gay nineties.
1069
00:59:43,622 --> 00:59:45,499
Movie audience is young mostly.
1070
00:59:45,582 --> 00:59:47,167
High school, college kid.
1071
00:59:47,709 --> 00:59:50,045
They don't anything about that period.
1072
00:59:50,128 --> 00:59:52,047
They don't care about that period.
1073
00:59:53,298 --> 00:59:55,550
Maybe you should stop
following trends, Mr Kaufman,
1074
00:59:55,634 --> 00:59:57,302
and set them.
1075
01:00:00,597 --> 01:00:04,142
Perhaps if she had an established star
working with her, like, er...
1076
01:00:04,226 --> 01:00:05,352
Cary Grant.
1077
01:00:06,061 --> 01:00:07,395
Who?
1078
01:00:07,729 --> 01:00:11,316
She's found some new guy
named Grant, Cary Grant.
1079
01:00:12,275 --> 01:00:13,902
The stilt walker?
1080
01:00:14,945 --> 01:00:17,114
CARY GRANT:
Sorry for having taken your time.
1081
01:00:17,197 --> 01:00:20,158
Well, whaddaya think my time is for?
1082
01:00:22,285 --> 01:00:25,330
Haven't you ever met a man
who could make you happy?
1083
01:00:25,413 --> 01:00:27,874
Sure, lotsa times.
1084
01:00:29,543 --> 01:00:32,629
Well, I've gotta be
getting back to the mission.

Well, it's just one of
those things I have to do.
1087

Well, good night.

I think they're very good together.

Do you think she's a star?
1095
01:01:02,450 --> 01:01:05,287

can say if she's a star.

you're the greatest female
impersonator of all time?
1103

But listen,
are you really a man?

a thousand references to prove it.
1107

KANE: A thousand references?
I don't need a thousand.

- All right, everybody out.

All right, that's enough.

you just turn around to me

- You want me to read what you've written?

No! Don't read it, it stinks.

1222
01:07:51,734 --> 01:07:52,986
Oh...
1223
01:07:59,409 --> 01:08:01,369
You miss him, don't you?
1224
01:08:05,748 --> 01:08:07,959
I never thought I was
makin' him so unhappy.
1225
01:08:08,042 --> 01:08:09,919
I never meant to do that.
1226
01:08:12,964 --> 01:08:15,675
Why don't you
just pick up that phone,
1227
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,469
call him in New York,
and tell him just that?
1228
01:08:20,888 --> 01:08:23,182
Oh, I couldn't do that.
1229
01:08:28,354 --> 01:08:31,065
You cannot go on being a fugitive.
1230
01:08:32,442 --> 01:08:34,068
From what?
1231
01:08:36,946 --> 01:08:38,323
From life.
1232
01:08:42,368 --> 01:08:43,578
Mmm.
1233
01:08:43,661 --> 01:08:46,748
Ain't we bein' poetic this mornin'?
1234
01:08:51,169 --> 01:08:53,046
(MAE SIGHING)
1235
01:08:57,342 --> 01:08:59,052
Mae,
1236
01:09:00,970 --> 01:09:04,057
one of these days you are
going to need someone.
1237
01:09:06,643 --> 01:09:09,270
Really need someone.
1238
01:09:13,858 --> 01:09:16,194
Who's goin' to be there?
1239
01:09:35,630 --> 01:09:38,132
Mr Timony, Mr Abrams on the phone.
1240
01:09:38,216 --> 01:09:39,175
Not now.
1241
01:09:39,258 --> 01:09:41,260
It's the third time he's called today.
1242
01:09:41,344 --> 01:09:42,679
Not now.
1243
01:09:42,762 --> 01:09:45,056
It's about
the Madison Square Garden deal.
1244
01:09:46,307 --> 01:09:48,267
What shall I tell Mr Abrams?
1245
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:53,106
Whatever you like.
1246
01:09:57,860 --> 01:09:59,362
Here, here's your receipt.
1247
01:09:59,445 --> 01:10:01,406
You're now the proud proprietor
of the Brooklyn Bridge,
1248
01:10:01,489 --> 01:10:03,908
and when that one wears out,
I'll spell ya...
1249
01:10:03,991 --> 01:10:06,619
Supposed to be,
"I'll sell ya a new one."
1250
01:10:06,703 --> 01:10:08,371
I'm sorry, Eddie.
1251
01:10:08,454 --> 01:10:10,540
- DIRECTOR: Cut!
- Can we try that one again?
1252
01:10:10,623 --> 01:10:12,959
DIRECTOR: Mae, sweetheart,
what seems to be the problem?
1253
01:10:13,042 --> 01:10:16,337
- Anything I can do?
- Nah, I just keep blowin' lines.
1254
01:10:17,380 --> 01:10:19,590
Maybe I just need to
get away from it for a minute, huh?
1255
01:10:19,674 --> 01:10:22,301
Of course. All right,
let's take a break, everybody.
1256
01:10:22,385 --> 01:10:24,721
Go on out for a coffee,
be back in ten minutes.
1257
01:10:25,346 --> 01:10:26,764
Thanks.
1258
01:10:31,018 --> 01:10:33,563
- Er... Miss West?
- Now what?
1259
01:10:33,646 --> 01:10:36,649
Two lines here
I find very disturbing.
1260
01:10:36,816 --> 01:10:40,278
First, "I wouldn't even
lift my veil for that guy."
1261
01:10:41,112 --> 01:10:44,115
The question being, of course,
what would you lift?
1262
01:10:44,323 --> 01:10:48,244
Mr Abbey, I'd hate to have your mind
on a good, long morning.
1263
01:10:48,327 --> 01:10:49,370
Er...
1264
01:10:49,620 --> 01:10:53,458
Um... One more thing, Miss West,
if you wouldn't mind. Er...
1265
01:10:53,541 --> 01:10:54,834
Now, this...
1266
01:10:54,917 --> 01:10:58,254
This here, coming from you,
is good deal worse.
1267
01:10:58,337 --> 01:11:01,007
"I wouldn't let him touch me
with a ten-foot pole."
1268
01:11:01,090 --> 01:11:04,886
- What's wrong with that?
- It's... It's perfectly obvious.
1269
01:11:06,888 --> 01:11:09,724
You know anybody with a
ten-foot pole, Mr Abbey?
1270
01:11:15,521 --> 01:11:19,233
Cheer up,
your reinforcements just arrived.
1271
01:11:23,529 --> 01:11:26,240
Er... Excuse me, Mr Abbey.
Um... Mae?
1272
01:11:26,699 --> 01:11:29,452
What are they doin' here now?
We're in the middle of shootin'.
1273
01:11:29,535 --> 01:11:31,496
Well, unfortunately, Mae,
you don't choose a time.
1274
01:11:31,579 --> 01:11:33,039
They do.
1275
01:11:33,122 --> 01:11:35,374
Those local yokels
from the Hays Office
1276
01:11:35,458 --> 01:11:36,876
have really got you runnin',
don't they?
1277
01:11:36,959 --> 01:11:38,252
It was supposed to be tonight.
1278
01:11:38,336 --> 01:11:39,545
I can't help that.
1279
01:11:39,629 --> 01:11:41,214
Please, just be careful
what you say, hmm?
1280
01:11:41,297 --> 01:11:43,508
Yeah, well, when people
get shocked easily,
1281
01:11:43,591 --> 01:11:45,551
they should get shocked more often.
1282
01:11:45,635 --> 01:11:47,011
Please?
1283
01:11:47,220 --> 01:11:50,181
Miss West, may I present Mr Driggs.
1284
01:11:51,432 --> 01:11:52,975
Reverend Bragg.
1285
01:11:53,059 --> 01:11:54,852
Mr Abbey, you already know.
1286
01:11:54,936 --> 01:11:57,146
Intimately.
Ain't that right, Abbey?
1287
01:12:00,066 --> 01:12:02,985
(CLEARING THROAT)
And, er... Father Cox.
1288
01:12:06,739 --> 01:12:08,991
Well, fellas, what's the beef?
1289
01:12:09,075 --> 01:12:11,035
Sins of the flesh, Miss West.
1290
01:12:11,118 --> 01:12:12,745
Oh, wait a minute.
1291
01:12:12,829 --> 01:12:15,748
I never took my clothes off.
I never even show my legs.
1292
01:12:15,832 --> 01:12:17,375
I don't use profanity.
1293
01:12:17,834 --> 01:12:19,585
We know that, Miss West.
1294
01:12:19,669 --> 01:12:21,420
It's a question of attitude.
1295
01:12:21,504 --> 01:12:23,631
You know, you can do more
with one lifted eyebrow
1296
01:12:23,714 --> 01:12:25,550
than a whole army of Ziegfeld girls.
1297
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:31,347
- That a compliment?
- Well, yes, in a way.
1298
01:12:31,597 --> 01:12:35,184
But it's because of this talent
that you can...
1299
01:12:35,268 --> 01:12:38,020
without intention, of course,
have a harmful effect.
1300
01:12:38,104 --> 01:12:39,313
"Harmful"?
1301
01:12:39,397 --> 01:12:41,107
What's the harm in laughter?
1302
01:12:41,190 --> 01:12:44,068
C'mon, boys,
the country's in a big mess.
1303
01:12:44,151 --> 01:12:46,571
The Depression is killing off
people's spirits.
1304
01:12:46,654 --> 01:12:48,573
All I wanna do
is make 'em laugh so hard,
1305
01:12:48,656 --> 01:12:51,200
they wanna forget they wanna cry.
1306
01:12:51,284 --> 01:12:53,119
We don't think you're funny,
Miss West.
1307
01:12:53,202 --> 01:12:55,079
As a matter of fact,
we think you're obscene.
1308
01:12:55,162 --> 01:12:56,664
"Obscene"?
1309
01:13:01,043 --> 01:13:04,881
Do you know
what I think "obscene" is?
1310
01:13:06,048 --> 01:13:07,216
War.
1311
01:13:08,634 --> 01:13:11,012
Are you guys
gonna talk out against war?
1312
01:13:13,014 --> 01:13:16,601
Are you gonna speak against
Mussolini and Hitler?
1313
01:13:16,684 --> 01:13:18,436
Are you gonna censor war?
1314
01:13:21,397 --> 01:13:22,773
Um...
1315
01:13:22,940 --> 01:13:25,318
Well, what...
What Miss West means is...
1316
01:13:25,401 --> 01:13:27,653
We understand you're
going on national radio.
1317
01:13:29,947 --> 01:13:31,449
Yeah, that's right.

for the new movie.

one of my favourites.

- Charlie, where did you get those keys?

Ah, b-b-b-b-b...
You better tell him, Mae.
1327
01:13:56,223 --> 01:13:58,976
Well, if you wanna know,
he came up to see me
1328
01:13:59,060 --> 01:14:01,145
and I showed him my etchings.

- Is that all there was to it?
1330

(CHUCKLING)
He's so naive, you know.
1332
01:14:07,860 --> 01:14:10,196
Why don't you come home
with me now, Charlie,
1333
01:14:10,279 --> 01:14:12,156
and I'll let you play
in my woodpile.

{AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
- CHARLIE: Well, I don't know.
1335
01:14:14,742 --> 01:14:16,535
You weren't so shy the other night.
1336
01:14:16,619 --> 01:14:19,205
You didn't need any
encouragement to kiss me.
1337
01:14:19,288 --> 01:14:21,582
- Did I do that?
- You certainly did.
1338
01:14:21,666 --> 01:14:24,710
And I got the marks to prove it.
Slivers, too.

and step into the Garden of Eden.
1342

Under a spreading fig tree
rests one Mr Adam.
1343

Eve, obviously,
is bored beyond endurance.

MAE:
Listen, Adam, honey,
1345
01:14:39,809 --> 01:14:41,686
I want a little excitement.
1346
01:14:41,769 --> 01:14:43,437
What for? This is Eden.
1347
01:14:43,521 --> 01:14:46,440
Everything is
peaceful and quiet and safe.
1348

Adam, you don't know
a thing about a woman.

Oh, you apparently forget.
1350
01:14:51,362 --> 01:14:54,115
You are originally one of my own ribs.

Yeah, a rib once,
and now I'm beefin'.
