i'm gonna make this sophisticated blase woman of the world oh well you're still not gonna make your film about us are you well yeah sure why not well nothing dramatic has ever happened to us so what it doesn't doesn't have to be dramatic of course there has to be some kind of drama you can't have two people just walking around doing nothing well what if they love each other that's not enough you've got to have one of your characters undergo some sort of a change like in the one act that i'm doing now the girl decides to leave her lover in the end you've got to have something like that now work it out oh hey anyway how's your play coming oh it's all right we still got two weeks of rehearsal well pete'll get the actors in shape he knows what he's doing he's a pretty good director he's okay hey do you remember charlie dutts except that guy who went to school in chicago yeah yeah anyway i got a letter from him just the other day he's in the army he is yeah they drafted him oh no and the only thing i'm worried about is that he was born a month before i was you know and were registered out of the same draft board back in chicago oh i sure hope they don't get me you know if you stay in school they won't get you and i knew this guy that stayed in school until he was 27 i never drafted him you know i have some friends in europe that never got called just because they're in paris

film coming oh well not so good really it's not really going quite the way i thought it would why not i don't know it's hard to say well i was thinking about the last scene of your film you know maybe it would work better if the guy were more broken up about losing the girl you know the way it is now he's going into the army really isn't motivated he says in the first scene that he doesn't even want to go in and then in the last scene he joins the army it seems like he's just running away well that's what he's doing he does run away but why does he run away to the army i don't know really it's that's just an idea i'm not i'm not sure what the ending is going to be yet well don't worry you'll work it out it'll be a good deal hope so [Music] um if you'd like to go out this weekend i'll
