The Artist Scene 29 Summary

  • On set, Peppy pitches a new film to Zimmer, starring her and Valentin. Zimmer looks unimpressed.
  • "George is a silent movie actor. He's a nobody now," he says cruelly.
  • Peppy is upset. She gives Zimmer an ultimatum: "It's either him or me."
  • Wait, what? Everyone is confused.
  • "What I mean is, it's him and me! Or it's neither of us!" Peppy corrects herself.
  • This blackmail thing isn't going so well.
  • After an extended period of brow-furrowing, Zimmer agrees.
  • Peppy gives him her signature whistle and kiss-blow, which Zimmer loves despite himself.
