[Frank is on-set doing a screen test for From Here to Eternity, while director Fred Zinnemann watches]
Where's the dice?
Cut!
There's no dice!
Frank, we really have to move on.
No, wait a second! May I talk to you a moment. [walks over to Zinnemann] No, no, no, no, excuse me, Mr. Zinnemann. I respect that your a very busy man and I know that your not too thrilled that I'm here. But I've flown all the way from Africa to test for this part because I believe like I have never believed in anything else before that I understand this character Maggio. I grew up with a hundred Maggio's in my neighbourhood! I am Maggio! And all I ask for is a little respect that I might demonstrate this to you.
[pause]
Whenever you're ready.
[pause. Walks back to the set]
