:19:00
Listen, there's nothing
to this acting business.
:19:04
I wonder what took me so long
to become a star.
:19:08
Excuse me. Hey! Call rehearsal
for 10:00 tomorrow morning.
:19:12
Jerry, the time has come
for George's first spanking.
:19:16
That's right.
I'll hold him, you hit him.
:19:18
Not me. I don't hit hard enough
to make an impression.
:19:22
I can't do it. He'd think I'm jealous
because he got more laughs.
:19:25
Don't think I'm not, either.
:19:29
Several gentlemen to see you outside,
Mr. Cohan.
:19:36
Gentlemen of the press, I presume.
It's started already.
:19:40
Will you excuse me?
:19:47
Let's see how tough he is!
:20:02
Ought to be arrested,
every one of those hoodlums.
:20:06
It seems to me you're taking this
very calmly, Jerry.
:20:10
Your own son almost murdered
in cold blood.
:20:14
The way I figure, it's a fine tribute
to Georgie's acting.
:20:17
The way he plays the part,
every tough kid...
:20:20
...will want to take a punch
at Peck's Bad Boy.
:20:23
What? Have I gotta go
through that every night?
:20:26
Yes. And matinees Wednesdays
and Saturdays.
:20:31
Georgie, those boys did you
a great favor...
:20:34
...and they saved me a lot of trouble.
:20:37
Most actors give their whole lives
to their profession without scoring a hit.
:20:41
You're lucky.
You're a hit at the age of 13.
:20:44
I've been in this business a long time.
I've never met a performer...
:20:48
...who in the long run wouldn't rather
be a great guy than a great actor.
:20:52
That is, until I made your acquaintance.
:20:55
Can't I be both?
:20:57
Chances are, the way you're going,
you won't be either.
