[knocks]

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny,
Johnny, Johnny. Come on in.

-The names Jimmy.
-Jimmy, Jimmy.

How you doin' fame?

You look, uh,

you look like shit man.
What are you doing?

You hanging out in the bottom
of a bottle or somethin'.



You want a drink? Just
kidding, what can I do
for ya?

Well Bobby, you know
I've been working on
a big project

and you know I'm havin
trouble just gettin
into the office

I mean I've been waitin
out there for hours.

Yeah well are you, are you a
baby, are you baby Jimmy,

are you a big cry baby
in a dress, is that
what you are?

Whaaa. Why don't you
sit up straight.

C'mon sit up, sit up like a man
with a cock in between his legs
not some paper cup.

Like a, like a bum
with a paper cup.

I mean what, what, what's
your problem anyway?

Problem?

Problem is I, I... I
don't feel like you're
workin for me anymore.

Okay. [burrrs] We
got that out.

Okay, not working for you.
That's good. Let's talk
about that, okay?

I'm not working for you and
you're the boss. Give me
your hand. [chuckles]

[Jimmy] I'm, I'm relieved
you feel that way

you know I, I was kinda
nervous about being so

-Hey. Jimmy. You never have to
be nervous with me. Okay?
-Okay.

Don't ever, ever be
nervous around me.

Just give me somethin that I can
work with alright. Give me
somethin I can work with.

Oh man, I outta
strangle you.

I'd a chop your fingers off and
feed em to Norman Mailer's dog.
You piece of dumb...

-[intercom] Bobby.
It's double day.
-Uh, just a second.

Yeah. Hi. How are ya.
Good. An Advance.

Quarter of a million?

Make it half a
million. Alright. I
love you babe. Okay.

Ma, you gotta quick
callin over here.

No, I can. I love you too
Ma. I love you a lot.

[smooching lips sounds]

-[phone clicks]
-Okay look.

Don't worry bout who that
was. You gotta try doin
somethin for me.

You gotta stop wondering how
you're gonna get your 90%.

And you gotta start worrying
about how I'm gonna be
getting my 10%.

Do you understand?

Because look Jimmy, I
want to work with
you. I really do.

But you're gonna have
to give me something
to work with.

-What about the book
proposal I sent you?
-[loud exhale]

Jimmy, stop. Stop,
look and listen.

There are a
million JFK

assassination theory books
out there in print

and the world just does not
need another right now.

-[Jimmy] I know, but mine
explores a new angle.
-[chuckles] Ah, Jimmy,

Jimmy. Nobody
is gonna buy

that Lee Harvey Oswald first
decided to kill the president
of the United States

because he was spurned
romantically by
Marilyn Monroe.

That's the piece of the puzzle
that's always been missing.
The motive.

I mean all those other
books try and say that

Oswald wasn't involved, or
Oswald didn't act alone.

Now I'd be saying that Oswald
did act alone and why.

That's totally new.

Stand up for a minute. Stand up.

-What's the matter?
-Give me a hug. C'mon.
Give me a hug.

I love you Jimmy. You know that.
You believe me?

-[Jimmy] Yeah.
-You trust me?

-[Jimmy] Yes.
-When I tell you you're out of
your fucking mind!

Look theoretically, there's
no evidence at all to
suggest that

Lee Harvey Oswald ever even
met Marilyn Monroe.

Second of all, there's no
evidence to suggest

that he was even within a
thousand miles of her.

Look, I got a reliable source.
I'm gettin' information right
from the top.

Yeah from the top of your mind.
You're out of it pal.

Now look, can I just get a
small advance so I can get
down to work

-[urg]
-lemme get into the
archives and find the

evidence myself. I know
it will turn up.

Now I got something there!
I wanna run with it!

C'mon, c'mon okay.

I mean a love triangle between
Kennedy, Oswald and Monroe?
Please.

You know what you're
doin' right night? You
know what you're doin'?

You're embarrassing yourself.
Humiliating yourself.

Tell you what, why don't
I put you on the

right now and the whole
building can hear it.

It's embarrassing. Go
ahead. Keep talking.

-[intercom clicks]
-See.

Look. I got three
words for you.

Real. Life. Crime stories.

That's what they're looking for.
Real life crime stories. Say it
with me,

say it with me. Say it with
me. Real life crime
stories. Say it!

-Real life crime stories.
-Say it again.

Real life crime stories.

It's the intense stuff. The
real nitty, gritty, street
stuff you know like uh,

like uh, what is that
Rescue 911, uh, uh America's
Most Wanted that kinda stuff

that's what they're looking
for. You gotta give me
something like that.

But look, you come in here
and you're asking me why
you're not working

[sucks teeth]
Hurts. You're killing me.

But listen. Ask not what your
agent can do for you, ask what
you can do for your agent!

Kennedy.

Yep.

[sigh] Now beat it I
got some work to do.
I love you, you know that.

-That's it. Just gonna
make me leave.
-Please I got some work to do.

Just umm, I, I sent
a screenplay in a...

-Leave with Dotty.
Leave with Dotty.
-Umm,

it's a high concept thing that
you might be able to tweek...

Okay. okay. I'm drained.
I'm drained.

Could we go out sometime for
a cup of coffee...

Please. Humiliating
yourself again.

[Jimmy quacks]

[continuous quacks]

Hey look let's cut the
shenanigans huh.

Why don't you just come here
and talk to me face to face.

Don't turn around Jimmy. Don't
look at me. Just keep walking
okay. Walk.

Alright. Take it
easy will ya.

Did you bring the money?

To tell you the truth Fred,
I can't afford these
meetings anymore.

Not according to my
agent. He thinks the
whole thing is idiotic.

-I mean Oswald,
Kennedy, Monroe.
-You told your agent?

I warned you about
this didn't I?

The whole coverup is too deep
for any agents to understand.

Well maybe he's got a point. I
mean, think about it.

Listen. You ungrateful maggot.
Don't you understand with what
you're involved with here.

Alright. Take it easy Jimmy.
Alright, calm down, calm down,
alright. Just relax. I'm sorry.

[sighs] Look the Oswald thing is
too hot for you, I got
something else. Okay?

Very close friend of mine works
down at the Pentagon. Okay.

He could prove beyond a shadow
of doubt that not only did FDR
had prior knowledge

on the attack at Pearl Harbor
but he also helped plan it.

That's right. Did you know his
grandmother was half Japanese?

You could see it in his eyes
in some early photographs.

That's why he started
wearing the round glasses.

Oh and the polio thing. Total
fake. He kept the transmitter
in his wheelchair.

I know what you're thinking.
What's the motive right.

He had his eye on the big
picture. I mean look at Japan
today. Need I say more.

Now look, give me 75 up front
and I'll put you in contact
with me contact.

[Jimmy] What are you crazy?

My grandfather was killed
at Pearl Harbor.

[man sighs]

Alright listen, I, I got
thirty five dollars.

[clears throat] How bout I
give you 35 up front and uh,
I cut you in 5% of the book?

That's a deal.

[Jimmy] No, no.
What am I crazy?

I'm not gonna get involved in
this crap again.

-Hey, hey, we just made a deal.
-Yeah, well go call a
lawyer and sue me.

Alright, what about
this? George Bush.

A friend of mine has got
pictures of him in a
prom dress 1943.

Look. I just said I'm not
interested. I want you to
just leave me alone okay.

[Crazy man] Did you know that
Elvis was really a woman?

And that his twin sister
is still alive?

Hey you know what happened
to Lindberg baby?

He was eaten by
Babe Ruth. [laughs]

was gonna be okay.

Life soon took on a nice

Tony climbed aboard my book
project as a technical advisor.

He proposed a 50/50
split of the profit to
which I quickly agreed.

Besides, I had no choice.

Tony made some helpful
editorial suggestions.

One being to eliminate
any reference to his
bed wetting years

when he was known
as Tony Sheets.

I thought it was important
character information but
Tony convinced me otherwise.

We had a few domestic
disputes like any household

but I was pretty much oblivious
to anything except to work.

I was a writer again.

All work and no plays makes Jack
a dull boy. Bink Bink agreed.

He taught us how to relax by
playing his little dice game.

Due to the loss of blood from
his head wound, it was the only
activity he could endure.

memories for the little guy.

him back to reality.
