Every Movie's a Circus

Every movie's a circus

On the wire without a net

Coffee?

I'm up too early

Shooting at seven

I gotta go

Movies

What's wrong?

Can't get a screen test

Don't you hate it

When a yes-man says no?

Movies

Good part?

I'm a policeman

"Hands up, punk!"

That's all I say

First time you've worked on the lot there

I must say R.K.O. are O.K

Movies

Then what?

He pressed a button

Out of the wall

Fell a four-poster bed

Movies

Busy?

They shot my screenplay

Isn't that great?

No, they shot the thing dead

Every movie's a circus

On the wire without a net

Lonely?

That's how I like it

Can't you be nice?

Why? We're not on the set

Movies

Hey, Joe

What are you, slumming?

Here for a meeting

This time of night?

Movies

Yeah, it's some studio smartass

You know I'm famous for being polite

Movies

Guess what?

I'm getting married

Congratulations

She'll be right back

Movies

Fact is, we were just leaving

She's been stood up by some uppity hack

Movies

Married. Who would have thought it?

Why don't you look happy?

Come on, be brave

Movies

It's this movie I'm shooting

You first assistant?

More like a slave

Every movie's a circus

But this is a circus movie as well

Problems, nothing but problems

Animals, actors

Two kinds of hell

Every movie's a circus

On the wire without a net

Well hello, Mr. Gillis

You two have met?

I'm the uppity hack

And she's the studio smartass

What's going on here?

Artie, they're calling you back

I just reread Blind Windows

It needs some real re-working, of course

If we fixed up the opening

Call up the wrangler

Pay off the horse
