1:30:07
You stood me up!
1:30:09
I've been waiting for you
for over an hour at Kelly's.

1:30:13
-What happened to him?
-Nothing.

1:30:15
He was explaining a play he saw and
that's what happened to a man in the play.

1:30:21
I see.
1:30:22
Did that really happen in a play you saw?
1:30:25
How do you like that?
You can't trust nobody.

1:30:27
They practically stole that from my play.
1:30:30
In the second act, just--
Maybe I'd better start at the beginning.

1:30:35
Yeah, sure.
1:30:42
You've got to hear the plot!
1:30:48
My mother's making up.
Like a flash, out of a clear sky...

1:30:52
...the door opens and a man
with a mustache comes in.

1:30:55
He says, "Miss Peaches La Tour,
will you marry me?"

1:30:59
That's the first scene. My mother doesn't
say they're married. That's the surprise!

1:31:04
What a kick!
1:31:06
Twenty-five years pass.
Well, in the meantime, there's me.

1:31:09
Growing into a magnificent specimen.
So what do I do?

1:31:13
I join the police force and become
one of New York's finest.

1:31:16
I'm cleaning out a crooked laundry, see?
Little do I know it...

1:31:19
...but a dope fiend with a knife is after me.
1:31:22
I'm in great danger.
1:31:25
It's getting you, ain't it?
I can see it in your eyes.

1:31:29
You ain't heard nothing yet.
1:31:31
All of a sudden, a fire breaks out.
What an effect!

1:31:34
Firemen rush in and who's leading them?
1:31:37
Mayor Fiorello La Guardia!
1:31:42
What's the matter with him?
1:31:43
-Probably your play put him to sleep.
-What?

1:31:46
-I personally like it very much.
-It's probably over his head.

1:31:50
-Where have I seen that face before?
-No, please.

1:31:55
The scene changes. It's an evolving stage.
1:31:58
I'm walking along my beat, casual-like...
