Sample dialogue
——Yes, good morning Mr. Schenk... Very well, thank you. Proceeding... Proceeding... “Merrily We Dance” starts shooting today. Beardley Auberon gave us a draft that’s extremely classy. Joan Van Vechten is playing Dierdre, but we need a male lead and we need him now... No, Jack Hogarth is drying out at Cedars... Metro won’t lend us Gable unless we give them the Comiskey Twins... Of course not, I agree... Swell idea but he’s waiting out a divorce in Reno... Whuh——Hobie Doyle?! Do you really think so? After all he’s——he’s a dust actor! The man barely knows how to... talk!... Yes, of course, Mr. Schenk, I agree, but I don’t know if Hobie Doyle, if he has the uh the uh the uh poise in a dinner jacket... Yes, we do need someone pronto... No I don’t. That’s very true. Let me talk to Laurence Laurentz, the director. It could work. Hobie is a very promising idea.
scene 9 — INT. EDDIE’S OFFICE - DAYScheinbrotte. Look, Brian...
scene 4 — INT. SPANISH HOUSE - NIGHTThat we’re looking for him. But we don’t want it in the gossip columns——Baird on a bender or in a love nest or wherever we end up finding him. As far as the set is concerned it’s business as usual. Tell the A.D. Baird is out briefly with a high ankle sprain.
scene 24 — INT. EDDIE’S OFFICE - DAYWell that’s fine. Laurence came in this morning to tell me how well you’re doing, he’s very impressed.
scene 38 — INT. EDDIE’S OUTER OFFICE - DAYNot bad, have ‘em use six. Is this six?
scene 60 — EXT. WELL OF JEHOSAPHAT SET - DAY
