The Holiday (2006): Dinner with Arthur

The clip dinner with arthur from The Holiday (2006) with Eli Wallach, Kate Winslet

I learned everything working in this place.
Best job I ever had.
Wait, wait, wait.
That was your first job in Hollywood?
Louis B. Mayer's office boy?
Actually, my first job was as a Western Union messenger.
That's how I met Mayer. I delivered a telegram to his office at MGM.
When I walked in, all the girls in the office were in a tizzy.
Their office boy didn't show up.
I volunteered for the job. The next day, I was on the payroll.
I was 17 years old.
So was Hollywood really as great back then as I imagine?
It was better.
You know what I've been asking myself all night?
What? Why I'm bothering you with all these questions?
I'm wondering why a beautiful girl like you would go to a stranger's house for her Christmas vacation and on top of that, spend Saturday night with an old cocker like me.
Well, I...
I just wanted to get away from the people I see all the time.
Well, not all the people.
One person.
I wanted to get away from one guy.
An ex-boyfriend who just got engaged and forgot to tell me.
Sorry.
So he's a schmuck.
As a matter of fact, he is. A huge schmuck.
How did you know?
He let you go.
This is not a hard one to figure out.
Iris, in the movies we have leading ladies and we have the best friend.
You, I can tell, are a leading lady.
But for some reason, you're behaving like the best friend.
