Let’s Have Lunch lyrics

[JOE]
Hi there, Myron

[MYRON]
How's it hanging?

[JOE]
I've got a date with Sheldrake

[MYRON]
I'm shooting a Western down at Fox

[JOE]
How can you work with Darryl?

[MYRON]
We should talk

[JOE]
Gotta run

[BOTH]
Let's have lunch

[MARY]
Hi, Mr. Gillis
[JOE]
You look great!

[MARY]
I'm up for an audition

[JOE]
Sheldrake is driving me insane

[MARY]
Don't forget me when you're casting

[JOE]
We should talk

[MARY]
Gotta run

[BOTH]
Let's have lunch [JOE]
Morning, Joanna [MARY]
Hi, there Myron [JOANNA]
Who are you meeting? [MYRON]
You look great [JOE]
Sheldrake, but do I need it [MARY]
I've spent the last month fasting [JOANNA]
I'm handing in my second draft [MYRON]
I'm shooting a Western down at Fox [JOE]
I'd really love to read it [MARY]
Don't forget me when you're casting [JOANNA]
We should talk [MYRON]
We should talk [JOE]
Gotta run [MARY]
Gotta run [ALL FOUR]
Let's have lunch
[JOE, spoken]
Yeah, I had an appointment with Mr. Sheldrake

[JONES, spoken]
Name?

[JOE, spoken]
Gillis. Joseph Gillis

[JONES, spoken]
All right, sir, you know your way?

[JOE, spoken]
Yeah

[FIRST FINANCEMAN]
We want the keys to your car

[SECOND FINANCEMAN]
You're way behind with the payments

[FIRST FINANCEMAN]
Don't give us any fancy footwork

[SECOND FINANCEMAN]
Give us the keys
[JOE]
I only wish I could help
I loaned it to my accountant
He has an important client down in Palm Springs
Felt like shooting the breeze

[FIRST FINANCEMAN]
Are you telling us you walked here?

[JOE]
I believe in self-denial
I'm in training for the priesthood

[SECOND FINANCEMAN]
O.K., wise guy, three hundred bucks

[FIRST FINANCEMAN]
Or we're taking the car

[SECOND FINANCEMAN]
We have a court order

[JOE]
I love it when you talk dirty

[SAMMY]
Bless you, Joseph

[JOE]
That you, Sammy?

[SAMMY]
How do you like my harem?

[JOE]
How come you get such lousy breaks?

[SAMMY]
One learns to grin and bear 'em

[GIRLS]
This is the biggest film ever made

[JOE]
What're you playing?

[ANITA]
Temple virgin

[DAWN]
Handmaiden to Delilah

[JOE]
Let's have lunch
Gotta run

You've got to find me a job
I'm way behind with my payments
I thought you were meant to be my agent
I need some work

[MORINO]
I only wish I could help
This town is dead at the moment
There's been this slowdown in production

[JOE]
Who is this j*rk?

[MORINO]
He's my wunderkind from Broadway
Every major studio wants him

[YOUNGER MAN]
Playing one against the other

[JOE]
What I need is three hundred bucks

[MORINO]
Maybe what you need is a new agent

[JOE]
Hello, Artie

[ARTIE]
Joe, you bast*rd!

[JOE]
You never call me any more

[ARTIE]
Found a cuter dancing partner
How are things?

[JOE]
Not so great

[ARTIE]
Will this help?
Twenty bucks?

[JOE]
Thanks, you're a pal

[ALL, spoken]
Good morning, Mr. DeMille

[SHELDRAKE]
This is Sheldrake
Bring some water
Get me that sh*thead Nolan

Nolan, sweetheart
Great to talk
This draft is so much brighter
You're the best
Even so
I've hired another writer

[SECRETARY, spoken]
Mr. Gillis

[SHELDRAKE, spoken]
Joe! What the f*ck brings you here?

[JOE, spoken]
You wanted to see me

[SHELDRAKE, spoken]
I did? What about?

[JOE, spoken]
"Bases Loaded." It's an outline for a baseball picture

[SHELDRAKE, spoken]
So, pitch

[JOE, spoken]
It's about a rookie shortstop. He's batting .347. The kid was once mixed up in a holdup. Now he's trying to go straight

[SHELDRAKE, spoken]
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I think I have read this
Somebody, bring in what we've got on...

[JOE, spoken]
"Bases Loaded."

[SHELDRAKE, spoken]
..."Bases Loaded."

[JOE, spoken]
They're pretty hot for it over at Twentieth

[SHELDRAKE, spoken]
Good!

[JOE, spoken]
But can you see Ty Power as a shortstop?

[ENSEMBLE]
Let's have lunch

[BETTY, spoken]
Here's that "Bases Loaded" material, Mr. Sheldrake
I made a two-page synopsis for you, but I wouldn't bother to read it

[SHELDRAKE, spoken]
Why not?

[BETTY, spoken]
It's just a rehash of something that wasn't very good to begin with

[SHELDRAKE, spoken]
Meet Mr. Gillis. He wrote it

[ENSEMBLE]
We should talk

[SHELDRAKE, spoken]
This is Miss Kramer

[BETTY, spoken]
Schaefer. Betty Schaefer. And right now, I'd like to crawl into a hole and pull it in after me

[JOE, spoken]
If I could be of any help...

[BETTY, spoken]
I'm sorry, Mr. Gillis, I couldn't see the point of it

[JOE, spoken]
What sort of material do you suggest? James Joyce? Dostoyevsky?

[BETTY, spoken]
I think pictures should at least try to say a little something

[JOE, spoken]
I see you're one of the message kids
I expect you'd have turned down "Gone With the Wind"

[SHELDRAKE, spoken]
No, that was me

[ENSEMBLE]
Gotta run

[BETTY, spoken]
And I guess I was disappointed
I've read some of your other work and I thought you had some real talent

[JOE, spoken]
Yeah, that was last year. This year I felt like eating

[BETTY, spoken]
Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Gillis

[SHELDRAKE, spoken]
Thank you, Miss Kramer
Well, looks like Zanuck's got himself a baseball picture

[ENSEMBLE]
We should talk
Gotta run
Let's have lunch

[JOE]
You've got to give me some work
I'll take whatever's on offer
There must be some sh*t that needs a rewrite
Throw it my way

[SHELDRAKE]
I only wish I could help
There's no spare sh*t at the moment
Remember the greatest writers starved in garretts
Didn't care about pay

[JOE]
Are you trying to be funny?

[SHELDRAKE]
I believe in self-denial
Gives a man some moral backbone

[JOE]
Can you loan me three hundred bucks?

[SHELDRAKE]
I'm sorry, Gillis. Good-bye

[JOE]
I just love Hollywood

[MORINO]
