  • JOE:
    Girl meets boy
    That's a safe beginning
    BETTY:
    It's nearly closing
    I thought you weren't going to show
    JOE:
    So did I
    I felt it might be kinder
    BETTY:
    What are you saying?
    JOE:
    Come on, Miss Schaefer, you know
    BETTY:
    What?
    JOE:
    Every time I see some young kid
    Dreaming they'll produce a masterpiece
    I just want to throw them on the next train home
    BETTY:
    Never thought
    You'd be so condescending
    JOE:
    Sorry, Miss Schaefer
    I didn't come here to fight
    BETTY:
    Girl meets boy
    If that's how you want it
    She's a young teacher
    He's a reporter
    It's hate at first sight
    JOE:
    It won't sell
    These days they want glamour
    Fabulous heiress meets handsome Hollywood heel
    The problem is
    She thinks he's a burglar
    Would you believe it?
    A wedding in the last reel
    BETTY:
    It doesn't have to be so mindless
    You should write from your experience
    Give us something really moving;
    Something true
    JOE:
    Who wants true?
    Who the hell wants moving?
    Moving means starving
    And true means holes in your shoe
    BETTY:
    No, you're wrong
    They still make good pictures
    Stick to your story
    It's a good story
    JOE:
    O.K., Miss Schaefer
    I give it to you
    BETTY:
    What do you mean?
    JOE:
    Just what I said. I've given up writing myself. So you write it.
    BETTY:
    Oh, I'm not good enough to do it on my own.
    But I thought we could write it together.
    JOE:
    I can't. I'm all tied up.
    BETTY:
    Couldn't we work evenings? Six o'clock in the morning?
    I'd come to your place.
    JOE:
    Look, Betty, it can't be done. It's out.
    Look, let's keep in touch through Artie.
    That way if you get stuck, we can at least talk.
    Write this down
    I'll give you some ground rules
    Plenty of conflict
    But nice guys don't break the law
    Girl meets boy
    She gives herself completely
    And though she loves him
    JOE & BETTY:
    She keeps one foot on the floor
    BETTY:
    No one dies except the best friend
    No one ever mentions communists
    No one takes a black friend to a restaurant
    JOE:
    Very good.
    Nothing I can teach you.
    We could have had fun
    Fighting the studio
    BETTY:
    Yes, Mr. Gillis
    That's just what I want.
    ARTIE:
    What a nightmare
    Good to see you
    Come to my new year's party
    JOE:
    Last year it got out of hand
    ARTIE:
    Guaranteed bad behaviour
    JOE:
    See you then
    BETTY:
    Don't give up
    You're too good
    JOE:
    Thanks.
