Here’s an original script page from Jerry Maguire. With additional notes by Tom Cruise himself. [via October Jones. He actually wrote it himself. Don’t tell Tom. Legend has it that to this day he is still running]

It was not the grand meeting I had hoped for, frankly, but I did get my poster for “The Apartment” signed. I tried to talk him into playing a part opposite Tom Cruise in the movie I was finishing up writing. And he gave me a little indication that he might do it, and then later when I called him he said, `No.’ It was a rainy day, we had just begun rehearsals and everybody was saying, `When is Billy Wilder going to show up? He’s going to play Dicky Fox, right?’ Then I said, `Well, let me call him.’ So I called him. He said, `Leave me alone. I’m an old man. I’m not an actor.’ And he hung up.
And I kind of looked at my actors and we all looked at each other, and Tom said, `Let’s get in the car. Let’s go over there and talk him into it.’ So we went screaming through the streets to catch him at his office. And he talked to us for about 45 minutes and in every possible, elegant way you can imagine he told us, no. But he did say this very funny and Wilderesque thing as we were leaving. He kind of looked at me and he looked at Tom, and he said, `Nice to meet you,’ to me and then his gaze turned to Tom and he said, `Nice to meet you, especially you.’ And I got the feeling that even at 91 at the time, he was buttering up his next star, Tom Cruise. —Cameron Crowe, discusses his new book about Billy Wilder
This is brilliant, read it: The Jerry Maguire Journal
I…Just don’t understand what is going on here.. Is this a Tom Cruise note where he is parodying his previous notes and having a joke with Cameron Crowe? Is it fake? It’s obviously not a legitimate note, is it?](http://25.media.tumblr.com/6bdaaf52f9c69c34bfa149da448a3587/tumblr_ml9ga8xwEr1rovfcgo1_500.png)
