:34:01
What happened after
you socked him, Uncle Bill?

:34:03
Oh, we had our ups and downs-
:34:05
more downs than ups at first.
:34:08
- Did you keep on dancing?
- Sure. That's when I invented that Bill Williamson step.

:34:11
- You remember that, don't you, honey?
- Yes.

:34:13
Come on, let me see
if you can do it. You ready? Go.

:34:25
Why, you haven't forgotten it.
You did that fine.

:34:28
- What's this?
- Well, well. Look at this.

:34:33
It looks like Gabe
is still out of money.

:34:35
Just like my old man.
:34:38
What happened to Gabe,
Uncle Bill?

:34:40
Oh, we kind of lost track
of him for a few years.

:34:42
- Did he quit promotin'?
- Well, he did and he didn't.

:34:44
You see, I was trying
to open a show in New York...

:34:47
and having a peck of a lot
of trouble about money.

:34:50
I was walking down the street
in Harlem that day.

:34:58
- No, it ain't.
- Yes, it is.

:35:01
- Well, I'll be doggone.
- How you doin'?

:35:03
Ain't doin' so bad.
Thank you.

:35:05
Imagine me comin'
here for a shine and finding you.

:35:07
Get right on up there,
'cause this one's on the house.

:35:09
- Lord, I been reading about you.
- Yeah?

:35:11
Yeah. Funny thing, I was coming down
to catch the show tonight...

:35:14
and comin' back and ask for you.
:35:16
- Oh, man, it don't look like there's gonna be no show.
- How come?

:35:18
All the chorus girls
ganged up and refused to work...

:35:20
- unless they get paid for last week's rehearsal.
- What?

:35:23
But if I could get open tonight,
I'd be out in front.

:35:25
- Well, how much money do you need?
- I need exactly $560.

:35:29
Ain't you got that much
in the box office?

:35:31
No, that's been attached
for the costumes and scenery.

:35:33
Well, buddy, if that's all that's
worrying you, your worries is over.

:35:37
You got yourself a new agent.
:35:39
You mean to tell me you got $560?
:35:41
No, I ain't got 560 cents,
but I got an idea.

:35:45
I got ideas too,
but what I need is money.

:35:48
Now, you listen to me.
:35:50
If you look prosperous
and sweet-talk them gals...

:35:53
they'll be so busy figuring out how to
make you spend what they think you got...

:35:57
that they ain't got no time to worry
about how much money you ain't got.
