ARTIEHey, Gillis! We'd give you up.Let me take your coatJesus, Joe, what's this made of? Mink?Who did you borrow this from? Adolphe Menjou?JOEClose, but no cigar.Hey! It's quite a crowdARTIEI invited all the kids doing walk-ons in "Samson and Delilah".BETTYWhere have you been hiding? I called your apartment.I called your ex-agent. I was about to call the Bureau of Missing Persons.JOEWell, they always know where to find me.RICHARD AHey, Sammy!You gotta say your New Year's resolution out loudJean!JEANBy this time next yearI'll have landed a juicy partSTEVENineteen fifty will be my startRICHARD TNo more carrying spearsMARYI'll be discoveredMy life won't ever be the sameBilly Wilder will know my nameAnd he'll call all the timeKATHERINE'Til he does, can one of you guys lend her a dime?ALISAJust an apartmentWith no roaches and no dry rotANITAWhere the hot water comes out hotBOTHThat's my Hollywood dreamRICHARD AYour resolutionJOANNAIs to write something that gets shotWith approximately the plotI first had in my headMYRONBut you'll get rewritten even after you're deadRICHARD AArtie!ARTIEIt's the year to begin a new lifeBuy a place somewhere quiet, somewhere prettyWhen you have a young kid and a wifeThen you need somewhere green, far from the cityIt's a rambling old house with a big apple treeWith a swing for the kid and a hammock for meSAMMYBehold, my childrenIt is I, Cecil B. DeMilleMeeting me must be quite a thrillADAMBut there's no need to kneelSAMMYI guarantee youEvery girl in my chorus lineIs a genuine PhilistineSANDYThey don't come off the shelfSAMMYI flew every one in from Philistia myselfBETTYI have some good newsIt's "Blind Windows"JOEYou don't let goBETTYI gave Sheldrake an outline, JoeAnd he swallowed the baitJOEWell, hallelujah!BETTYWhile you've been buying vicuna coatsI've been making a lot of notesNow there's work we should do...JOEBetty, you're forgetting that I gave it to youYou remind me of me long agoOff the bus, full of ignorant ambitionThought I'd waltz into some studioAnd achieve overnight recognitionI've seen too many optimists sinking like stonesFelt them suck all the marrow clean out of my bonesBETTYI love "Blind Windows"But I can't write it on my ownCan't we speak on the telephone?All my evenings are freeARTIEHey, just a minuteI'm the fellow who bought the ringBETTYArtie, this is a business thingIt's important to meYou'll be on location in Clinch, TennesseePlease make this your New Year's resolution for meALLBy this time next yearI will get my foot in the doorNext year I know I'm going to scoreAn amazing successCut to the momentWhen they open the envelopePass the statuette to Bob HopeAnd it's my name you hearWe'll be down on our kneesOutside Grauman's ChinesePalm prints there on the streetImmortality's neat!This time next yearThis time next yearWe'll have nothing to fearContracts all signedThree-picture dealYellow brick road careerHope we're not still saying these thingsThis time next yearJOEYou know, I think I will be available in the New Year. In fact, I'm available right now.BETTYJoe, that's great!JOEHey, Artie, where's your phone?ARTIEUnder the bar.JOEHey, Artie. You think you could put me up for a couple of weeks?ARTIEIt just so happens we've got a vacancy on the couch.JOEI'll take it.MAXYes?JOEMax, it's Mr. Gillis. I want you to do me a favour.MAXI'm sorry, Mr. Gillis. I can't talk right now.JOEListen, I want you to take my old suitcases...MAXI'm sorry, I am attending to Madame.JOEWhat do you mean?MAXMadame found the razor in your room. And she's cut her wrists.ALLThree, two, one, Happy New Year!Should auld acquiantance be forgotAnd never brought to mindShould auld acquiantance be forgotAnd days of auld lang syneFor auld lang syne, my dearFor auld lang syneWe'll take a cup of kindness yetFor the sake of auld lang syne
