Danny Glover Got Fired

Danny was fired from The Bourne Ultimatum

  • LANDY’S cell phone rings. She answers it.
  • J. Allen: Pamela Landy.
  • D. Glover: I hear you’re still looking for me.
  • J. Allen: Bourne? I guess I owe you an apology.
  • D. Glover: Is that official?
  • J. Allen: No. Off the record. You know how it is.
  • D. Glover: Good-bye.
  • J. Allen: Wait. Wait. (She opens a file on her desk.)
  • D. Glover: (Listening)
  • J. Allen: David Webb. That’s your real name. You were born April 15, 1971 in Nixa, Missouri.
  • D. Glover: (Pause) No it ain’t. It’s Murtaugh.
  • J. Allen: What? What’s going on here? Paul!?!?
  • P. Greengrass: Danny –
  • D. Glover: I’m Murtaugh. I’ve been called Coltrane. I’ve been Murtaugh. I’ve wanted to be Riggs. Who the hell is David Webb? That ain’t me, honey.
  • P. Greengrass: Just go with it, Joan, and we’ll cut it up later.
  • J. Allen: Why don’t you come in, and we’ll talk about it?
  • (Pause) Bourne?
  • D. Glover: Get some Riggs, Pam. You look tired.
  • J. Allen: Riggs? I’m supposed to be tired. And you’re Bourne.
  • D. Glover: What happened to Webb, missy? Think you know everything, don’t you.
  • J. Allen: (shaking head)
  • D. Glover: You could be Riggs. A lady Riggs...hmmmm....tasty.
  • P. Greengrass: I think we’re going to have to scrap this.
  • PA: What?
  • P. Greengrass: Yep. The whole project.
  • PA: But this is the third one.
  • D. Glover: Yeah, that’s crazy talk, PG.
  • P. Greengrass: Nobody liked the first two with Glover anyway. I can’t believe we got somebody to bankroll this with him. It looks like a bad remake of “I Spy”.
  • D. Glover: Cosby!
  • P. Greengrass: You know if I shake the hell out of the camera, I can make an action star out of anybody. Affleck or Damon. Somebody flip for it.
