[on the set of Mogambo in Africa]
[fixing Ava a drink] Probably just the heat.
Yeah... [hands her the drink]
Thanks. [sits down. Pause] It's not just the heat, Frank. Uh, I think maybe I'm pregnant.
Are you kidding? Baby, that's terrific.
Look, you can't tell anyone or I might be kicked off this film.
You're the star, they can't do that--
Frank.
Our baby is more important than any movie.
Listen. I know how much you want this kid, but it happens to come at the worst possible moment in my life.
I understand. [passively] You're a rising star, you're carrying the baby of a has-been.
[Ava hits him on the leg]
[pause] Sometimes I hate you.
That's great. Perfect. [gets up from his seat] You don't want our baby and you hate me.
Would you listen to me. It's a steam bath out there. There's ants, mosquitos and flies in my face! I have to puke every ten seconds! I'm up against a legendary actor! And this is supposed to be the performance of my life! Now, would you give up the role that you'd kill for, for a baby?
I don't have that role.
Right. If you did.
