2:18:02
All right. Here it is.
2:18:05
I got a long-distance call
from Sam Harris this afternoon.
2:18:08
What about?
2:18:10
He's producing a new show
by Kaufman and Hart.
2:18:13
They're good writers.
Nothing I can do to improve their stuff.
2:18:17
Sam thinks you could,
if you played the lead.
2:18:21
Play the lead?
2:18:23
What is the matter with that man?
Hasn't he got any sense at all?
2:18:27
- What's he trying to do? Spoil all our fun?
- But are you having fun, George?
2:18:31
When we were in Europe,
you haunted every theater...
2:18:34
...not knowing a word
that was said on-stage.
2:18:37
Going back, congratulating the actors.
They didn't know what you were saying.
2:18:42
Just to smell the greasepaint again.
2:18:45
You think I'm stage-struck. I only go
to the theater to get out of the night air.
2:18:50
Fun? I'm having a wonderful time.
I'll have nothing to do with Broadway.
2:18:56
Sam says it's a great part. No other actor
in the world but you could do it.
2:19:01
That's just more of that Harris con.
2:19:03
He needs me as much as
he needs a hole in the head.
2:19:06
He really does need you, George.
He's in trouble.
2:19:10
If positions were reversed,
he'd help you out. You know he would.
2:19:15
Besides, he never said so,
but Sam's broke.
2:19:20
- Can you think of any more reasons?
- Yes. I want you to.
2:19:28
Well, that settled it.
2:19:31
I've never refused you anything, have I?
We'll do it.
2:19:35
- Come on. Let's get packing.
- We're all packed.
2:19:40
- What?
- We're all packed, dear.
2:19:45
Now you can start getting mad all over again
because I told Sam I'd talk you into it.
2:19:57
What are you laughing about?
