Give me a cue again. Riggan:
Okay. "Hey, I'm the wrong person to ask. I don't actually know the man, I've heard his name mentioned in passing. I don't know, you'd have to know the particulars. I think what you're saying..." Mike Shiner:
Hey, can I make a suggestion, do you mind? Riggan:
Yeah, yeah sure, no not at all. Mike Shiner:
Okay, just stay with me. "I'm the wrong person to ask," he says, but what is that, what is the intention in that? Is he fed up with the subject so he's changing it, is he deflecting guilt over the marriage? And here's the thing, you've got four lines after that that all say the same thing. "I didn't even know the man, I only heard his name mentioned in passing, I wouldn't know, you'd have to know the particulars..." The point is, you don't know the guy, we f - king get it. Make it work with one line: "I didn't even know the man." Right? Riggan:
Right. Yeah. You know my lines too, huh? Mike Shiner:
Can we not get hung up on knowing lines?
