What? Oh, you don't have to do that. You guys can keep talking. Well, I'll just finish with, a role like this doesn't come along every day. And now, I'm gonna zip it. - I zipped it good. - Addy. How do you think your dad's anxiety over his career has affected you? Well, his career is pretty much the only thing we talk about. That or he makes me watch old movies, and then discuss them. Which is really just him lecturing me for two hours. It's a conversation. It's more of a conversation. He made me watch this bizarre old movie. What was it called? The island of Dr. Calamari? The cabinet of Dr. Caligari. And did you like it, addy? It's one of my favorite films. Have you seen it? No, I have not. It's about this insane old doctor who has a sleepwalker completely under his spell. This crazy old loon. Can you imagine how horrifying that would be? To be completely under someone's spell? And you liked it, right? I mean, you like the painted sets, and the makeup... No, I did not. Sounds to me like maybe she didn't want to see the movie. Did you think about that, Nick? About what she wants? Cheryl, come on. Is that a real question? What do you think he's gonna say? She has an amazing visual sensibility. Always has. We're very close, and within that closeness, I was able to ascertain...

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."

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.
