:17:03
Just what we've been hoping for.
I have found Clare's new partner.
:17:06
- Well, what's his name?
- Well, I wrote it down. Here it is...
:17:09
...Peggy Britton, Columbus 6...
Oh, no, that's something else.
:17:14
- King Shaw. Wait till you see him.
- King Shaw? Never heard of him!
:17:18
- Well, you will, Bert. You will.
- We've got to have a name, Casey!
:17:21
Clare didn't have a name
when I discovered her!
:17:24
- Why, I certainly did.
- What?
:17:25
- Bridget Callahan.
- Yes, that's right.
:17:28
And what were you? Nothing
but a great big baritone when...
:17:33
When I told you how to fix
the second act of your show.
:17:35
Yes. No! Well, you did...
It was just a suggestion.
:17:38
You made a fortune
out of that suggestion.
:17:40
There's gratitude.
Didn't I make you my partner?
:17:43
- Well, you needed a young man...
- What?
:17:45
- You were getting old.
- Old?
:17:50
My hair was as white as it is now
when I was 17, 15...
:17:54
...well, I was pretty young.
:17:55
- Bob, he's just jealous of you.
- Of course he is.
:17:58
When are we going to see
your discovery?
:18:00
I'll have him in Bert's office
tomorrow morning at 11:00.
:18:03
Come on, Pearl, darling.
Let's take this home.
:18:06
It's been so nice
having this little chat with you.
:18:09
Yes. Well, come on,
my little chatterbox.
:18:17
I think you get more people back here
than we get out front.
:18:20
Oh, I'm sorry
you were interrupted, Bert.
:18:22
Tell me something.
Why do you always propose...
:18:25
...three days before
the close of a show?
:18:27
I mean to do it
at the end of the run...
:18:29
How much do you really
want to marry me?
:18:31
More than anything in the world.
:18:33
Bert...
:18:35
- I'd hate to give up my career.
- Yeah.
:18:39
What are you talking about?
The new show's written.
:18:41
You've got a contract with me.
You can't walk out on a contract!
:18:45
Say, what are you doing, kidding me?
:18:48
I'm just trying to prove
that the theater is your real love...
:18:51
...and I guess the same thing
goes for me.
:18:54
- Yeah. That means no, huh?
- Well, let's say it doesn't mean yes.
