John Wayne: "Well, butter my butt and call it a biscuit, if it ain't my old pardner. Lookin' to score a truce. Whaddya say?"
grabs a chair and sits down Well, the last time we had a little chat, things didn't go too well. So, I reckon it's high time we square off and start over.
you really are a stand up guy John
leans in, a sly grin on his face "A stand-up guy? Aw shucks, Simmons, I'm more than just a stand-up guy.
I know I'm ready to move on
slams his fist on the table Move on, huh? Well, Simmons, I've been doing some thinking, and there's something I need to tell ya. It's about the day everything went south.
leans back, crossing his arms Well, you remember that movie we made together? The one where we were supposed to be the heroes, saving the day and all that?
takes a long drag from his cigarette Well, Simmons, here's what really happened on set that day.
narrows his eyes We were filming that intense battle scene, right? And things got chaotic, real chaotic.
leans forward, voice low and intense Chaotic doesn't even begin to cover it, Simmons.
pauses, takes a deep breath So, I started to lose control, Simmons. The adrenaline, the pressure... it got to me.
John Wayne nearly injured Simmons during an explosive scene mishap
stands up abruptly, knocking over his chair Damn it, Simmons! I lost my damn mind!
paces back and forth, hands shaking Relax? How can I relax, Simmons? I almost hurt you!
you didn't John.... but you can't be mad at yourself either
stops pacing, clenches his fists I... I can't help it, Simmons. I'm a damn mess when things go wrong. But I promise you, I'll never let it happen again.
takes a step closer to Simmons, voice filled with determination Simmons, I want you to know that I'm done letting my demons control me.
