[00:20.961] ARTIE: Hey, Gillis! We'd give you up.
[00:25.814] Let me take your coat
[00:27.114] Jesus, Joe, what's this made of? Mink?
[00:30.934] Who did you borrow this from? Adolphe Menjou?
[00:35.138] JOE: Close, but no cigar. Hey! It's quite a crowd
[00:37.517] ARTIE: I invited all the kids doing walk-ons in "Samson and Delilah".
[00:40.999] BETTY: Where have you been hiding? I called your apartment.
[00:43.960] I called your ex-agent. I was about to call the Bureau of Missing Persons.
[00:47.756] JOE: Well, they always know where to find me.
[00:50.473] RICHARD A: You gotta say your New Year's resolution out loud Jean!
[00:56.360] JEAN: By this time next year
[00:58.553] I'll have landed a juicy part
[01:01.652] STEVE: Nineteen fifty will be my start
[01:04.997] RICHARD T: No more carrying spears
[01:07.782] MARY: I'll be discovered
[01:11.160] My life won't ever be the same
[01:14.133] Billy Wilder will know my name
[01:17.175] And he'll call all the time
[01:20.332] KATHERINE: 'Til he does, can one of you guys lend her a dime?
[01:22.735] ALISA: Just an apartment
[01:26.753] With no roaches and no dry rot
[01:29.818] ANITA: Where the hot water comes out hot
[01:32.419] BOTH: That's my Hollywood dream
[01:36.458] RICHARD A: Your resolution
[01:39.059] JOANNA: Is to write something that gets shot
[01:42.099] With approximately the plot
[01:45.212] I first had in my head
[01:48.299] MYRON: But you'll get rewritten even after you're dead
[01:52.096] RICHARD A: Artie!
[01:53.535] ARTIE: It's the year to begin a new life
[01:56.497] Buy a place somewhere quiet, somewhere pretty
[01:59.434] When you have a young kid and a wife
[02:02.231] Then you need somewhere green, far from the city
[02:05.539] It's a rambling old house with a big apple tree
[02:08.778] With a swing for the kid and a hammock for me
[02:12.157] SAMMY: Behold, my children
[02:15.490] It is I, Cecil B. DeMille
[02:18.472] Meeting me must be quite a thrill
[02:21.259] ADAM: But there's no need to kneel
[02:24.277] SAMMY: I guarantee you
[02:27.876] Every girl in my chorus line
[02:30.790] Is a genuine Philistine
[02:34.157] SANDY: They don't come off the shelf
[02:37.268] SAMMY: I flew every one in from Philistia myself
[02:52.538] BETTY: I have some good news
[02:56.880] It's "Blind Windows"
[02:59.097] JOE: You don't let go
[03:00.676] BETTY: I gave Sheldrake an outline, Joe
[03:03.172] And he swallowed the bait
[03:06.492] JOE: Well, hallelujah!
[03:09.755] BETTY: While you've been buying vicuna coats
[03:12.796] I've been making a lot of notes
[03:15.652] Now there's work we should do...
[03:18.856] JOE: Betty, you're forgetting that I gave it to you
[03:23.455] You remind me of me long ago
[03:25.938] Off the bus, full of ignorant ambition
[03:29.492] Thought I'd waltz into some studio
[03:32.056] And achieve overnight recognition
[03:34.610] I've seen too many optimists sinking like stones
[03:38.151] Felt them suck all the marrow clean out of my bones
[03:44.756] BETTY: I love "Blind Windows"
[03:47.438] But I can't write it on my own
[03:49.818] Can't we speak on the telephone?
[03:52.756] All my evenings are free
[03:56.495] ARTIE: Hey, just a minute
[03:58.933] I'm the fellow who bought the ring
[04:02.090] BETTY: Artie, this is a business thing
[04:05.235] It's important to me
[04:08.475] You'll be on location in Clinch, Tennessee
[04:12.898] Please make this your New Year's resolution for me
[04:20.096] ALL: By this time next year
[04:23.137] I will get my foot in the door
[04:25.831] Next year I know I'm going to score
[04:28.989] An amazing success
[04:32.310] Cut to the moment
[04:35.095] When they open the envelope
[04:38.334] Pass the statuette to Bob Hope
[04:41.377] And it's my name you hear
[04:44.895] We'll be down on our knees
[04:47.935] Outside Grauman's Chinese
[04:51.186] Palm prints there on the street
[04:54.275] Immortality's neat!
[04:57.153] This time next year
[05:00.334] This time next year
[05:04.596] We'll have nothing to fear
[05:07.347] Contracts all signed
[05:09.552] Three-picture deal
[05:12.931] Yellow brick road career
[05:18.086] Hope we're not still saying these things
[05:21.731] This time next year
[05:36.303] JOE: You know, I think I will be available in the New Year.
[05:40.703] In fact, I'm available right now.
[05:42.260] BETTY: Joe, that's great!
[05:43.456] JOE: Hey, Artie, where's your phone?
[05:44.836] ARTIE: Under the bar.
[05:47.590] JOE: Hey, Artie. You think you could put me up for a couple of weeks?
[05:51.805] ARTIE: It just so happens we've got a vacancy on the couch.
[05:55.554] JOE: I'll take it.
[06:05.855] MAX: Yes?
[06:08.491] JOE: Max, it's Mr. Gillis. I want you to do me a favour.
[06:10.789] MAX: I'm sorry, Mr. Gillis. I can't talk right now.
[06:12.531] JOE: Listen, I want you to take my old suitcases...
[06:14.097] MAX: I'm sorry, I am attending to Madame.
[06:16.536] JOE: What do you mean?
[06:18.277] MAX: Madame found the razor in your room. And she's cut her wrists.
[06:23.850] ALL: Three, two, one, Happy New Year!
[06:30.154] Should auld acquiantance be forgot
[06:33.996] And never brought to mind
[06:38.048] Should auld acquiantance be forgot
[06:42.379] And days of auld lang syne
[06:46.953] For auld lang syne, my dear
[06:51.097] For auld lang syne
