ARTIE (spoken) Hey, Gillis! We'd give you up. Let me take your coat Jesus, Joe, what's this made of? Mink? Who did you borrow this from? Adolphe Menjou?
JOE (spoken) Close, but no cigar. Hey! It's quite a crowd
ARTIE (spoken) I invited all the kids doing walk-ons in "Samson and Delilah".
BETTY (spoken) Where have you been hiding? I called your apartment. I called your ex-agent. I was about to call the Bureau of Missing Persons.
JOE (spoken) Well, they always know where to find me.
RICHARD A You gotta say your New Year's resolution out loud Jean!
JEAN By this time next year I'll have landed a juicy part
STEVE Nineteen fifty will be my start
RICHARD T No more carrying spears
MARY I'll be discovered My life won't ever be the same Billy Wilder will know my name And he'll call all the time
KATHERINE 'Til he does, can one of you guys lend her a dime?
ALISA Just an apartment With no roaches and no dry rot
ANITA Where the hot water comes out hot
BOTH That's my Hollywood dream
RICHARD A Your resolution
JOANNA Is to write something that gets shot With approximately the plot I first had in my head
MYRON But you'll get rewritten even after you're dead
RICHARD A (spoken) Artie!
ARTIE It's the year to begin a new life Buy a place somewhere quiet, somewhere pretty When you have a young kid and a wife Then you need somewhere green, far from the city It's a rambling old house with a big apple tree With a swing for the kid and a hammock for me
SAMMY Behold, my children It is I, Cecil B. DeMille Meeting me must be quite a thrill
ADAM But there's no need to kneel
SAMMY I guarantee you Every girl in my chorus line Is a genuine Philistine
SANDY They don't come off the shelf
SAMMY I flew every one in from Philistia myself
BETTY I have some good news It's "Blind Windows"
JOE You don't let go
BETTY I gave Sheldrake an outline, Joe And he swallowed the bait
JOE Well, hallelujah!
BETTY While you've been buying vicuna coats I've been making a lot of notes Now there's work we should do...
JOE Betty, you're forgetting that I gave it to you You remind me of me long ago Off the bus, full of ignorant ambition Thought I'd waltz into some studio And achieve overnight recognition I've seen too many optimists sinking like stones Felt them suck all the marrow clean out of my bones
BETTY I love "Blind Windows" But I can't write it on my own Can't we speak on the telephone? All my evenings are free
ARTIE Hey, just a minute I'm the fellow who bought the ring
BETTY Artie, this is a business thing It's important to me You'll be on location in Clinch, Tennessee Please make this your New Year's resolution for me
ALL By this time next year I will get my foot in the door Next year I know I'm going to score An amazing success
Cut to the moment When they open the envelope Pass the statuette to Bob Hope And it's my name you hear
We'll be down on our knees Outside Grauman's Chinese Palm prints there on the street Immortality's neat! This time next year This time next year
We'll have nothing to fear Contracts all signed Three-picture deal Yellow brick road career Hope we're not still saying these things This time next year
JOE (spoken) You know, I think I will be available in the New Year. In fact, I'm available right now.
BETTY (spoken) Joe, that's great!
JOE (spoken) Hey, Artie, where's your phone?
ARTIE (spoken) Under the bar.
JOE (spoken) Hey, Artie. You think you could put me up for a couple of weeks?
ARTIE (spoken) It just so happens we've got a vacancy on the couch.
JOE (spoken) I'll take it.
MAX (spoken) Yes?
JOE (spoken) Max, it's Mr. Gillis. I want you to do me a favour.
MAX (spoken) I'm sorry, Mr. Gillis. I can't talk right now.
JOE (spoken) Listen, I want you to take my old suitcases...
MAX (spoken) I'm sorry, I am attending to Madame.
JOE (spoken) What do you mean?
MAX (spoken) Madame found the razor in your room. And she's cut her wrists.
ALL Three, two, one, Happy New Year!
Should auld acquiantance be forgot And never brought to mind Should auld acquiantance be forgot And days of auld lang syne For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne We'll take a cup of kindness yet For the sake of auld lang syne
