Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner in Sinatra

[on the set of Mogambo in Africa]

Frank Sinatra

[fixing Ava a drink] Probably just the heat.

Ava Gardner

Yeah... [hands her the drink]

Ava Gardner

Thanks. [sits down. Pause] It's not just the heat, Frank. Uh, I think maybe I'm pregnant.

Frank Sinatra

Are you kidding? Baby, that's terrific.

Ava Gardner

Look, you can't tell anyone or I might be kicked off this film.

Frank Sinatra

You're the star, they can't do that--

Ava Gardner

Frank.

Frank Sinatra

Our baby is more important than any movie.

Ava Gardner

Listen. I know how much you want this kid, but it happens to come at the worst possible moment in my life.

Frank Sinatra

I understand. [passively] You're a rising star, you're carrying the baby of a has-been.

[Ava hits him on the leg]

Ava Gardner

[pause] Sometimes I hate you.

Frank Sinatra

That's great. Perfect. [gets up from his seat] You don't want our baby and you hate me.

Ava Gardner

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?

Frank Sinatra

I don't have that role.

Ava Gardner

Right. If you did.
