Milton:
There'll be other movies, Roman.
Roman:
Not only did they, did they kill the film, but they killed my cast. You know, nobody's gonna wanna work with me. Variety called me a Pariah. I don't even know what a Pariah is. Why, why couldn't have somebody kill the cast from Stab 1? Huh? Or Stab 2? Why me? What? John, what did we do wrong?
Milton:
Hollywood is full of criminals whose careers are flourishing.
Roman:
I'm not a criminal. I, I was questioned, yeah, but that's all. I was questioned. That's it.
Milton:
It's good for your mystique.
Roman:
You think it'll help me get work?
Jennifer:
[Entering John's office with Gale and Dewey]
Roman. John.
Milton:
Jennifer. And guests. To what do I owe the honor?
Gale:
Rina Reynolds.
Roman:
Rina Reynolds? Who's Rina Reynolds?
Milton:
[to Roman]
Why don't head to the house? Tell everybody not to cut the cake without me.
Jennifer:
[to Roman]
Oh God, I forgot. Your birthday.
Roman:
Yeah.
Jennifer:
Happy Birthday, Roman.
Roman:
[as he exits John's office]
Yeah, as if life isn't tragic enough.
Milton:
[to Roman, as he leaves]
Shut the doors behind you, please.
Dewey:
So, you knew Sidney Prescott's Mother?
Milton:
Who?
Jennifer:
Rina Reynolds?
Milton:
Uh, do you know how many actors have worked for me? Hundreds, thousands.
Gale:
He didn't say she was an actor.
Jennifer:
Good catch.
Milton:
So, what's the point?
Dewey:
Uh, no point. I'm just gonna give, uh, Detective Kincaid a call.
Milton:
I remember. She was a bit player in a couple of my movies... a nobody. So, what does it matter?
Jennifer:
Oh, come on. You have made millions off the story of her murder. You're obsessed with her and you're obsessed with her daughter.
Gale:
Alright, easy, Geraldo.
[to Roman]
Gale:
Why don't you tell us the truth?
Milton:
What they Hell are you guys getting at? I make horror films, that's what I do. The studio came to me with Stab, they came to me. Check it out.
Dewey:
But you knew who she was?
Milton:
When we did the first Stab, I realized I knew Maureen Prescott before... I mean as Rina. I couldn't tell anyone. Can you imagine the press?
Gale:
And now? I mean murders on your set and, and... still, you say nothing?
Milton:
Get real. That would make me a suspect.
Gale:
Just because you knew her?
Milton:
Yeah.
Gale:
I don't think so. Just what did happen to Maureen when she was in Hollywood?
Milton:
Now, you listen to me, Lois Lane, let it go. It's dead and buried.
Gale:
How would you like to see it dug up on national T.V.? Why don't you tell me what happened?
Milton:
It was in the '70s, everything was different. I was well known for my parties. Rina knew what they were. It was for girls like her to meet men, men who could them parts if they made the right impression. Nothing happened to her that she didn't invite, one way or another, no matter what she said afterwards.
Gale:
Are saying she-?
Milton:
-I'm saying things got out of hand. Maybe they did take advantage of her, you know? Maybe the sad truth is this is not the city for innocence. No charges were brought. And the bottom line is Rina Reynolds wouldn't play by the rules. You wanna get ahead in Hollywood, you gotta play the game or go home.
