"MADE IT LOOK LIKE TREVOR AND DISPERBIO SHOT EACH OTHER IN THE HOTEL ROOM." "I'LL TELL YOU WHAT KEPT NAGGING AT ME." "THERE WE WERE AT DISPERBIO'S HOTEL, STANDING BELOW" "THE OPEN WINDOW, LOOKING UP AT DISPERBIO'S ROOM." "THE LIGHTS IN DISPERBIO'S ROOM WERE OFF, AND THEN WE HEARD GUNSHOTS." "BUT WHY DIDN'T WE SEE A FLASH?" "WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE TWO DISTINCT FLASHES" "FROM TWO SEPARATE BLASTS, BUT THERE WASN'T ONE." "TREVOR HAYES AND ARTHUR DISPERBIO DIDN'T SHOOT EACH OTHER WHEN" "WE GOT TO THE HOTEL ROOM." "THEY DIDN'T SHOOT EACH OTHER AT ALL." "THE KILLER SHOT BOTH OF THEM, PLANTED THE GUNS ON THEM," "AND THEN PLACED A RECORDING OF TWO GUNSHOTS INTO" "THE TAPE MACHINE SO THAT WHEN WE ARRIVED, EVERYBODY" "WOULD HEAR GUNSHOTS GIVING EVERYONE THE PERFECT ALIBI." "COME ON, THIS IS CRAZY." "YOU SAW ALL THAT STUFF IN DISPERBIO'S ROOM THE SYRINGE," "THE HOSE, THE GUN, ALL WITH HIS PRINTS ON THEM." "BUT YOU GAVE YOURSELF AWAY WHEN YOU TOLD ME HOW YOU WORK WITH WRITERS." "YOU SIT THEM DOWN AND YOU TELL THEM A STORY, SAY," "GET THE PROPS, SEAL YOURSELF IN A ROOM SOMEWHERE" "AND WRITE EXACTLY WHAT WE TELL YOU." "THAT'S WHAT YOU DID WITH ARTHUR DISPERBIO." "YOU HIRED HIM TO WRITE A SCREENPLAY ABOUT A SERIES OF MURDERS IN CANNES." "YOU TOLD HIM THE PLOT." "YOU GAVE HIM THE PROPS, AND" "THEN YOU SHUT HIM UP IN THAT ROOM TO FINISH THE SCRIPT." "THAT'S WHY YOU HAD ALL THESE THINGS IN THERE." " WHY WOULD WE" "HIRE DISPERBIO IF HE WAS ANGRY WITH US OVER THE HEMINGWAY?" "DISPERBIO NEVER WROTE A SCREENPLAY ABOUT HEMINGWAY." "TREVOR HAYES DID." "YOU KNOW, WHEN I MET TREVOR" "I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE SCENE YOU SAID YOU'D CUT." "AND HE SAID, THE ALGONQUIN MEN'S ROOM SCENE." "THAT'S RUM." "I RATHER ENJOYED WRITING THAT." "WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT ABOUT THE ONE SCENE YOU SAID HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW EXISTED?" "THEN WHY DID WE CUT THE SCENE FROM THE PICTURE?" " YOU DIDN'T." "YOU JUST SAID THAT YOU DID TO MAKE YOUR STORY ABOUT DISPERBIO STICK." "HOW'S HE GOING TO PROVE THAT?" "HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PROVE THAT?" "PINK EYED BASTARD." " EXCUSE ME?" " IT'S A FILM." "IT WAS PROCESSED BACK IN ENGLAND AT U.K. POST PRODUCTION," "THE SAME PROCESSING HOUSE THAT WORKED ON HEMINGWAY LOVED ME." "WELL, THE DAY BEFORE THE FESTIVAL, THE FILMS GOT SWITCHED, ALL RIGHT?" "THE FILM THAT GOT BLOWN UP ON THE YACHT WAS "PINK-EYED BASTARD," SO WHEN THE" "CANISTER FOR "PINK EYED BASTARD" SHOWS UP IN CANNES YESTERDAY, WHAT'S IT IN INSTEAD?" ""HEMINGWAY LOVED ME," BUT THE SCENE AT THE ALGONQUIN THAT" "YOU SAID YOU CUT, IT WAS RIGHT UP THERE ON THE SCREEN." "YOU NEVER CUT IT BECAUSE YOU NEVER THOUGHT THAT ANYONE" "WOULD EVER SEE THAT COPY OF THE FILM YOU HAD SENT DOWN HERE." "YOU THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE MELTED IN AN EXPLOSION" "ON BOARD THE YACHT AND SINK INTO THE BAY." " WHAT ABOUT MOTIVE." "YOU SEEM TO HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT, I BELIEVE." "BEFORE TREVOR DIED, HE SAID THAT IT ALL" "CAME DOWN TO A QUESTION OF PLOT POINTS." "WHAT LINKED ALL THE VICTIM NOT FINAL CUT." "NEITHER TREVOR NOR REED HAD THAT." "NOT THE SCREENPLAY EITHER." "I MEAN, IF DISPERBIO WANTED REVENGE, I COULD SEE WHY HE'D WANT TO KILL TREVOR OR LEV." "BUT WHY THADA OR REED?" "THIS IS YOUR DEAL MEMO WITH THADA," "TREVOR, LEV, AND REED." "MY GOODNESS." "YOU GAVE AWAY THE STORE TO LINEUP THESE PEOPLE." "75 PERCENT OF THE GROSS." "YOU GAVE AWAY ALL THE POINTS." "I MEAN, WHAT WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN, ABOUT $200 MILLION?" "DOMESTIC." " YEAH." "BUT WITH EVERYBODY DEAD," "ALL THE POINTS REVERT BACK TO YOU." "GENTLEMEN, THAT APPEARS TO BE THE DENOUEMENT." "EXCEPT FOR ONE THING." "ALL OF THIS BUSINESS ABOUT THE GUNSHOTS AND THE FLASHES THAT'S VERY GOOD, NATE." "BUT IT WOULD ONLY WORK IF ONE OF US WAS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF THE HOTEL TO DO IT." "AND MITCH AND ME, WE'VE BEEN UNDER 24 HOUR POLICE PROTECTION." "SERGEANT GABBY CAN ACCOUNT FOR ALL OUR MOVEMENTS DURING" "THE TIME YOU SAY WE WERE KILLING TREVOR AND DISPERBIO." "I NEVER SAID YOU DID IT ALONE." "YOU WOULD HAVE NEEDED AN ACCOMPLICE, AN ASSISTANT." "SOMEBODY TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOU, DIVERT ATTENTION, LURE TREVOR" "BACK INTO THE HOTEL ROOM, MAKE HIM FEEL SAFE AND THEN..." "KILL HIM." " VERY GOOD, MONSIEUR BOOTH." "I GOT TO BE KIDDING ME." " PUT YOUR HANDS UP, PLEASE." "WAIT A SECOND." "BUT YOU AND I, WE..." " OUI." "C'EST LA VIE." "WELL, THIS IS THE WORSE RELATIONSHIP I'VE EVER BEEN IN." "I'M SURPRISED LAMO DIDN'T SUSPECT ME SOONER, ALWAYS" "DISAPPEARING BEFORE A MURDER, PARTICULARLY SUITED TO ENTICE MEN" "LIKE MONSIEUR HALVORSON AND MONSIEUR HAYES." "I GUESS YOU'RE NOT THE DETECTIVE YOU THINK YOU WERE." "INSPECTOR RENEAULT HAS BEEN OUR SILENT PARTNER SINCE THE START." "YEAH, IT STARTED LAST YEAR AT THE FESTIVAL." "YOU KNOW THAT THEY SAY, THE REAL ART IS IN THE DEAL." "WELL, I GOT TO TELL YOU, I MEAN, IF I'D HAD KNOWN HOW ALL THIS WAS GOING TO" "GO DOWN, I WOULD PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERABLY LESS GLIB A MOMENT AGO." "SO HOW MUCH ARE THEY PAYING YOU?" " 5 MILLION." " PLUS POINTS." "NATE, WE TOLD YOU FROM THE FIRST YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE COME TO CANNES." "YOU WERE THE ONE THING WE DIDN'T COUNT ON." "LISTEN, IF YOU KILL ME, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ASK QUESTIONS, OKAY?" "SOMEBODY'S GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE FALL." " THIS WE HAVE ALREADY THOUGHT ABOUT." "WE HAVE?" "IT HAS TO LOOK LIKE MONSIEUR BOOTH UNMASKED THE REAL KILLER." "THEY STRUGGLED, AND THEN THEY KILLED EACH OTHER." "WELL, THAT'S KIND OF WEAK." "YOU KNOW, IF IT WERE MY SHOW, I'D THINK IT PROBABLY..." "SHUTS UP." " WHO THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO GET FOR THE OTHER BODY?" " YOU." "ME?" " SHOOT HIM." "MITCHY..." "DON'T!" "DON'T!" "YOU TWO, STAY HERE." "IT SEEMS THAT ALL ALONG THE MURDERER WE WERE LOOKING FOR WAS NATHAN BOOTH." "HE DIDN'T SEEM THE MURDERING TYPE." "THAT'S WHAT I KEEP TELLING MY AGENT." "BUT I JUST KEPT GETTING CAST AS THE GOOD GUY." "SERGEANT GABBY, WOULD YOU PLEASE ARREST" "THE INSPECTOR AND THESE TWO GENTLEMEN?" "DONNEZ-LE MOI." "I HAVE TO FAINT NOW." "SHUT UP." "WE COULD HAVE MADE YOU A BIG STAR, NATE." "INSTEAD WE'RE GOING AWAY FOR 25 TO LIFE." "DOMESTIC." "LAMO." "IF ONLY IT HAD BEEN A SITCOM." "OKAY, LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT." "YOU SPENT THE NIGHT WITH ME TO FIND OUT IF I WAS GETTING TOO CLOSE TO THE TRUTH?" "SO, MONSIEUR BOOTH, WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?" "ANOTHER FILM?" "ANOTHER CRIME TO SOLVE?" "SERGEANT, I JUST SAW IT TO THAT THE TWO MOVIE PRODUCERS" "AND A POLICE INSPECTOR WERE ARRESTED FOR MURDER." "I DOUBT VERY SERIOUSLY IF ANYBODY IN EITHER EVERY" "PROFESSION'S GOING TO WANT TO OFFER ME MUCH WORK." " NATHAN BOOTH." "MERV GRIFFIN." "I AM SUCH A BIG, BIG FAN OF YOURS." "YOU ARE A GREAT ACTOR, YOUNG MAN." " YOU JUST SAW THE MOVIE?" "NO, I DIDN'T SEE ANY MOVIE." " NO, NO, NO." "I'VE HAD THE FLU." "I'VE BEEN IN MY HOTEL ROOM." "I'VE BEEN WATCHING LAMO." "LAMO-THEY PLAY THE THING ALL DAY LONG HERE." "IT'S UNBELIEVABLE." "BUT YOU'RE GOOD." "I HAVE AN IDEA FOR A SERIES FOR YOU." "I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT IT." "IT'S ABOUT AN ACTOR WHO GETS INVOLVED IN SOLVING" "CRIMES, AND THEN HE REALLY GETS IN EVERYTHING." "I'D LIKE TO MEET YOU FOR BREAKFAST TOMORROW, AND I'LL EXPLAIN THE WHOLE PLOT TO YOU."
