Nickel’s parabola… >^_^< (from the last Elia Kazan’s movie ‘The last Tycoon’ based upon Harold Pinter’s screenplay adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Rough transcription, a collector item. …Title could be: ‘l was just making pictures’

[…] Monroe’s speaking:

— Listen…
            
Suppose you’re in your office.
               
You’ve been fighting duels all day.
You’re exhausted.

This is you.
                
A girl comes in.
She doesn’t see you.          
She takes off her gloves.
She opens her purse.              
She dumps it out on the table.
                  
You watch her.
                 
This is you.
                 
Now…
                 
She has two dimes, a matchbox
and a nickel.               
She leaves the nickel on the table.             
She puts the two dimes back into her purse.
            
She takes the gloves…
they’re black.
              
Puts them into the stove.
                
Lights a match.
                
Suddenly, the telephone rings.
                  
She picks it up.
                 
She listens.
                  
She says, “l’ve never owned a pair of black gloves in my life.”
           
Hangs up.
               
Kneels by the stove.
               
Lights another match.
                 
Suddenly,
                
you notice…
                 
…there’s another man
in the room…        
watching every move the girl makes.
                
— What happens?

— l don’t know.               
l was just making pictures.
             
— What was the nickel for?
                
— Jane, what was the nickel for?
                  
— The nickel was for the movies.

                 
— What do you pay me for?   l don’t understand the damn stuff.
                  
— Oh, yes, you do…  or you wouldn’t have asked about the nickel.

Well, Monroe’s right.
