Thank you. Obviously, you've seen mankiewicz's house of strangers. It's one of my all-time favorite movies. That's exactly what your script reminded me of. The power struggle, the fight for relevance. Yeah. Yeah. And you're gonna think this sounds a little crazy, but in some ways, it's king lear. It's king lear. Yeah, exactly. See, I knew you'd understand what I'm trying to do with this film. Right. David, I don't know what to say exactly, except this is the role of a lifetime and I'd really love to be a part of this. Cool, man. I'll just give you a shout in a couple of days. Oh. If you're worried about the Boston accent, I can do the Boston accent. I've been working on it all week. I'm not worried, Nick. Okay, well, if you have any other questions or you just wanna talk, give me a call. Or if you'd like me to, uh... to read... You don't need to read for me. Of course not. And obviously, I'm not going to. Obviously. But I bet a part of you would love to hear me read, right? I mean, why wouldn't you? If I were you, I'd want to hear it. Seriously, I don't want you to read. Okay. Anyway, this is me, so I'm gonna... Well, you know what? I'm gonna read. "It's a foregone conclusion, Jimmy." "It takes 13 milliseconds for the human brain" "to send a message to the body." "So, by the time your bullets hit me, my cerebral cortex" "will have transmitted a signal" "to the 17 healthy muscles" "that operate my trigger finger." "And before your asshole has had a chance to pucker up," "your medulla oblongata" "will be splattered on a fucking wall behind ya." "And if that's the last thing I accomplish" "on this beautiful green earth," "well, then, ha, I say, ha, what a way to fucking go."

I bought this house 20 years ago for a situation just like this. It has everything we need. Food, passports, materials for disguise.

Now, go! Wait! Where's Nick? He's got a gun on Lucas. He bought us some time, but there's others. He will never make it out of there alive.

Damn, man! That was good, right? Felt good. Mankiewicz? Whoo-hoo! Incredible pull. I know. It just popped into my head. Well, good. I'm happy for you. Because, honestly, man, you really need this. What? What is that supposed to mean? You get it. This could be a game changer. I don't need a game changer. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, I'll just keep working. That's what I do. I'm just saying, you could be a little more strategic. Make more movie star choices. It's like miles Davis told me... "Sometimes, it's the notes" "you don't play." Miles Davis was a heroin addict. I mean, I love him, he was a maestro, but I'm happy, I'm healthy when I'm working. I'm an actor. No, you're a fucking movie star! And don't you ever forget that! Okay, I don't need this. I don't need this. Get out of my car. Nicky, get out of my car. I don't need this.

You need to know who you are, Nick. This isn't a role. You're not a hero. You're just some guy who's about to get us killed. You fucking idiot!
