He goes and he turns the play over
to this Joe Stengel.

:45:12
l rather like the idea of going with Stengel.
:45:15
They tell me he does
those highbrow plays. lbsen.

:45:21
- ''l want the moon, Mother.''
- Yeah. Now, look Larry.

:45:23
He understands
l'm to be starred, of course.

:45:27
- That's just it.
- What?

:45:30
Now, look, Larry. Don't blame me.
l've been plugging for you for months.

:45:34
What are you trying to tell me?
:45:36
Don't go up in the air about it.
:45:38
There's sure to be something else.
:45:41
You mean l'm out?
:45:43
You dirty double-crosser.
Do you mean l'm out?

:45:46
Larry, l'm telling you,
nobody knew about this. Nobody.

:45:52
Who's going to play the part?
:45:54
This Cecil Bellamy.
:45:56
That piffling little....
He's English in the first place.

:46:01
The part says ''English Explorer.''
:46:06
l can be English. English as anybody.
:46:09
l've been waiting six weeks for this play.
:46:11
l could've had a million things.
:46:13
Personal appearances, radio, vaudeville
:46:15
Sure you could. You can get them yet.
:46:18
But the thing for you is a part in a play.
:46:20
You know, get back in that old public eye.
:46:23
Yes, but where's the vehicle?
:46:25
l was thinking about this play again...
:46:28
and you know, Larry,
l never said anything...

:46:32
but l never thought
that part was so hot for you.

:46:36
You know the part that l'd be crazy to play
if l was an actor?

:46:40
- What?
- That beachcomber.

:46:45
Beachcomber?
:46:49
You're asking me to go on...
:46:53
and play a part that isn't....
:46:57
Get out of here. Go on. Get out.
