Lew Wasserman:
We are about to propose a re-structured deal for Psycho. Barney Balaban:
I'm listening. Lew Wasserman:
We finance it... independently. Hitch waives his directorial fee. Paramount *only* distributes it, in exchange for 40% of the profits. Barney Balaban:
Interesting. But what exactly is Paramount distributing? Is this still a picture about a queer killing people in his mother's dress? Lew Wasserman:
What this picture is about is the reputation of Alfred Hitchcock. Barney, it's very simple. This is Mr Hitchcock's next film. Are you in... or are you out? [long pause] Barney Balaban:
Fine. We'll take that deal. If you can get the money. Alfred Hitchcock:
We already *have* the money, Barney. [he takes out his chequebook] Alfred Hitchcock:
Who do I make it out to?
