I generally came in early and worked for a couple of hours before Bill arrived. He would then spend about an hour puttering around the office and smoking cheroots, then would eventually settle in next to me at the desk, read what I had written, and begin offering suggestions and improvements. Sometimes I would print out a scene and then mark it up—as with the scene above—as Bill tried out Phil’s dialogue, and we tweaked lines accordingly. Our afternoons were often spent walking around New York running Bill’s errands while talking about general script issues. He was a warm and wonderful host to me during my New York visit. There was an afternoon where he and Tom Davis paired up against me and Dan Aykroyd in a spontaneous basketball game, the four of us sneakerless and slipping around in our socks. I made my bones with Bill that day when he hurled a basketball at my head and I managed to duck. “Good reflexes,” he said. I think of these two weeks with Bill as one of the more surreal and memorable experiences of my writer’s life.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Danny Rubin" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/danny-rubin/this-scene-came-from-the-writing-i-did-with-bill-in-new-york-working/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b8b/danny-rubin-78097_ball-game_this-scene-came-from-the-writing-i-did-w_2815905.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b8b/danny-rubin-78097_ball-game_this-scene-came-from-the-writing-i-did-w_2815905.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b8b/danny-rubin-78097_ball-game_this-scene-came-from-the-writing-i-did-w_2815905.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“This scene came from the writing I did with Bill in New York, working out of an office in the Director’s…” — Danny Rubin", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/danny-rubin/#person", "name": "Danny Rubin", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/danny-rubin/", "description": "Daniel Rubin is an American screenwriter and playwright.
