It's a fake movie.
If I'm doing a fake movie, it's gonna be a fake hit.
The cardinal wants all cover options on his desk Friday morning.
Engell's prepping the bikes option, the teachers option.
You have 72 hours to make yours better.
Hey, is A006 still on the open list?
Yeah, I'll hold.
"Fade in on a starship landing. An exotic, Middle Eastern vibe.
Women gather, offering ecstatic libations to the sky gods.
Argo. A science-fantasy adventure."
it's in turnaround. It's dog shit.
It's a space movie in the Middle East.
- Does it matter? - Can we get the option?
Why do we need the option?
You're worried about the Ayatollah? Try the WGA.
Just let me do the talking.
I've known this guy for 25 years. He's full of shit and he comes on hard...
...but I can handle.
You want to go into production with this in one month?
Up like a carny ride.
One month, yeah.
- Who are you again? - Kevin Harkins. Studio Six Films.
He's the money.
Look, what do you say 15 thou and let's close on this?
You want me to be honest with you, Les?
No. I would like you to bullshit me, Max.
All right.
I enjoyed your films. The early ones.
I took this meeting out of respect, because I wanted to say no to your face.
Thank you. Very respectful.
You're finished, Lester.
Get your cataracts fixed, read the trades.
MGM just capitalized for six new films.
They're screaming for sci-fi.
They're offering me four times what you guys are offering me.
Well, what can I say? Congratulations.
But, see, it kind of worries me, what you said, and let me tell you why.
Couple of weeks ago, I was sitting at Trader Vic's, I was enjoying a Mai Tai...
...when my pal Warren Beatty comes in.
He wishes me well, we had a little chat.
Seems he was attached to star in Zulu Empire
...which was gonna anchor that MGM slate.
But Warren confided in me that the picture's gone over budget...
...because the Zulu extras wanna unionize.
They may be Cannibals, but they want health and dental...
...so the movie's kaput.
Which means that the MGM deal ain't gonna happen...
...and your script ain't worth the buffalo shit on a nickel.
So the way it looks to me...
Through the cataracts, I grant you.
...is that you can either sign here...
...and take $10,000 for your toilet paper script...
...or you can go fuck yourself.
With all due respect.
