:11:01
Don't worry.
The manager, he'll fix everything.
:11:04
Anyhow, we're together again...
:11:06
- you and me, just like old times.
- Yeah, like old times.
:11:09
Yeah, you bet my life.
:11:24
If you pardon my saying so,
Mrs. Claypool...
:11:26
Mr. Driftwood seems hardly the person
to handle your business affairs.
:11:30
- I'm beginning to think the same thing.
- Bravo!
:11:34
I made it.
How soon does the curtain go up?
:11:37
The curtain, Mr. Driftwood,
will go up again next season.
:11:39
- You've missed the entire opera.
- I only missed it by a few minutes.
:11:44
I can go then?
:11:45
Was I right? Isn't Lassparri
the greatest tenor that ever lived?
:11:49
He's superb.
But what would you have to pay him?
:11:52
What's the difference?
:11:53
He must sail with us tomorrow
no matter what we pay.
:11:56
- He would be worth $1,000 a night.
- How much?
:12:01
- What does he do?
- What does he do, he sings.
:12:03
You're willing to pay him
$1,000 a night just for singing?
:12:06
You can get a phonograph record
of Minnie the Moocher for 75 cents.
:12:10
For $1.25, you can get Minnie.
:12:12
If you'll excuse me, Mrs. Claypool...
:12:14
I think I had better arrange
to see Lassparri immediately.
:12:17
- You are agreed, $1,000 a night?
- Just as you think.
:12:20
$1,000. There must be some way
I can get a piece of this.
:12:23
Wait. Why don't I sign Lassparri?
I represent Mrs. Claypool.
:12:26
But I represent
the New York Opera Company.
:12:29
Boy? Will you give my card
to Signor Lassparri, please?
:12:47
What is it? What do you want?
