Mark:
You're unhappy Elliot? Elliot Garfield:
Unhappy? No. I am freaking petrified. The critics are going to crucify me, Mark. And Gay Liberation is going to hang me from Shakespear's statue. By my genitalia. You gotta help me, Mark. Mark:
What do you want, Elliot? Elliot Garfield:
I want my hump back! I want my club foot. I want a little paralysis in my right hand! I don't mean a lot, just a little, two stiff fingers, I need a little motivation. Mark:
I see. You want to play it safe, eh? You want to give us your standard, conventinal Richard. Well, I can't argue with that Elliot they've been doing it that way for 400 years. Elliot Garfield:
Listen, what do I know? I'm lucky to get the part I know that. I come from Chicago. We do things a little bit differently out there. We do the play as written. That doesn't go over in New York? Terrific. I respect you, Mark, I do. You've done off Broadway I haven't. I'm not a quitter. You want me to do Richard the Third like Tatum O'Neal I'll do it but just don't make me look foolish out there. Mark:
And you feel foolish. Elliot Garfield:
I feel like an asshole! I passed foolish on Tuesday. Mark:
Hey, I was never going to let you do it like that. Elliot Garfield:
Oh, thank God! Mark:
But do you see where I'm heading. Elliot Garfield:
I, I'm trying, Mark. Mark:
Richard was gay there's no doubt about it. But let's use that as subtext. We'll keep it but now we can put back the hump and the club foot... Elliot Garfield:
And the twisted fingers. Mark:
If you like them. Elliot Garfield:
Like 'em? I love 'em! I'm crazy about 'em! Mark:
Then use them, baby, and you will see what I am after. Just try it my way, bubala. I will never let you go wrong
