i'm here. i'm right beside you. what kind of cruel god is it that would take you away from me? no. i cannot accept it. if something like this can happen. what. what is it for? nicola anders is the only actress who can play that role. i won't play opposite an unknown. valarie! valarie! valarie, what are you running from? valarie! no! viktor, i'm so happy for us! the film. the chemistry. no reflections on nicola but simone and i -- we were just so right together. and still the connection was undeniable. i haven't read "eternity forever" but i know it's brilliant. and i know i would be perfect for clive. yes, perfect. as a matter of fact, i ran into simone on the lot the other day. i'm sure she's meeting with a lot of people right now. she is just as you described her, viktor. indescribable. i strongly sensed she thought i was right for it. it was more in passing. how will you do our love scenes? for her? good idea. i'm hal. wonderful to be working together. again. obviously. who else? so committed. together, absolutely. viktor, clyde simply has to get close to simone in this scene! he has to touch her. he has to! but she's right there! i must feel her! why not? -- an emotional wall, i know. that's why -- how did the wall get there? is she here? somebody said she was here. viktor, where is she? you know i sometimes forget she has bodily functions. i have to talk to her about my experimental film. it's very. experimental. simone! and the winner is. actually, there's a tie. the winners are. simone for "sunrise, sunset". and simone for "eternity forever". unfortunately, simone can't be with us tonight. but thanks to the miracle of modern technology she is able to join us live via satellite from the location of her new film.
