Every Movie's a Circus

I read

One of your stories

Wasn't it Scribner's

Some magazine

Title -

Something with windows

It was "Blind Windows"

If that's what you mean

That's right

I really liked it

I'm all warm and runny inside

Let me pitch it to Sheldrake

I may be broke

But I still have my pride

Come on

Get off your high horse

Writers with pride don't live in L.A

Silence

Exile and cunning

Those are the only cards you can play

Sheldrake won't buy this story

He likes trash with fairy lights

Jesus, think of the effort

Trying to get him to heighten his sights

Every movie's a circus

Can't we discuss this

Schwab's Thursday night?

What for?

Nothing will happen

I gotta go now

Fight the good fight

What's the rush?

See those gorillas?

Yes, what about them?

Do me a terrific favor

Keep them amused while I escape

If you're at Schwab's on Thursday

Done. Look, those guys are after my car. If I lose that in this town, it's like having my legs cut off

Let's duck into the soundstage

Come on, Gillis, give us the keys

Shhh! Please be quiet, Mr. DeMille is shooting right over there

So what?

He's working on "Samson and Delilah" - they're doing a red-hot scene with Hedy Lamarr. You want to stay and watch?

No

Relax, we got five minutes
