Is there a script?

George Weiss

****, no. But there's a poster. [he holds up a movie poster for "I Changed My Sex"]

Weiss

On the phone you said you had some "special qualifications"?

Ed

Mister Weiss... I have never told anyone what I'm about to tell you. But I really want this job. [pauses, takes a deep breath] I like to wear women's clothing.

Weiss

You're a fruit?

Ed

No, not at all. I love women. Wearing their clothes makes me feel closer to them.

Weiss

You're not a fruit?

Ed

No, I'm all man. I even fought in W.W. Two. Of course, I was wearing women's undergarments under my uniform.

Now, what is the one thing, if you put it in a movie, it'll be successful?

George Weiss

Tits.

Ed

No, better than that. A star!

Weiss

Kid, you must have me confused with David Selznick. I don't make major motion pictures, I make crap.

Ed

Yes — but if you take that crap and put a star in it, then you've got something!

Weiss

Yeah. Crap with a star.

Weiss

All right, fine! You can direct it. I want a script in three days. We start shooting a week from Monday.

Ed

Oh... oh, Mister Weiss, thank you so much! You won't regret it! I won't let you down!

[On the set, Ed has taken to wearing women's clothing full-time.]

But, Georgie, I'm proud! I wrote, directed, and starred in it, just like Orson Welles did in "Citizen Kane".

George Weiss

Yeah? Well, Orson Welles didn't wear angora sweaters, did he?

[over the phone]

Georgie, what happened? I thought Glen or Glenda was opening this week! Where's the ads?

George Weiss

"Where's the ads?" The ads are in Alabama, Indiana and Missouri, you schmuck! It ain't gonna play in L.A.!

Why not?

George Weiss

Nobody wants to see this piece of shit!

Hey, you can't talk that way about my movie!

George Weiss

Your movie?! I wish it was your movie! I wish I had never blown every dime I ever made into making this stinkbomb! And if I ever see ya again, I'll kill ya! [angrily hangs up]
