Bang, bang, Babe Ruth.
:06:04
- Who else plays it?
- Ty Cobb, Hans Wagner.

:06:07
Bang, bang, Hans Wagner.
:06:09
Bang, bang, Ty Cobb.
:06:10
Wouldn't you like to be
a Ty Cobb, Paul?

:06:13
No.
:06:14
He doesn't want that.
:06:24
- Hello, Paul.
- Hi.

:06:26
- Wanna take some piano lessons?
- No.

:06:28
I'll give you a special rate, 25 cents.
:06:31
You pay, you'll be my only pupil.
:06:33
No, violin's prettier than the piano.
:06:35
Don't judge all pianos by the way
I look. Try it on for size.

:06:39
- Could I?
- Sure.

:06:41
If you play the violin, you'll have
to carry a pianist around with you.

:06:45
Play something.
:06:50
I know that. Just give me a minute.
:07:02
Paul. Paul!
:07:04
Paul!
:07:06
Another Paderewski in the family.
Phil with his kazoo and you with a violin.

:07:10
- You said I could have anything.
- A drum, a little horse.

:07:13
A toy is all right. What does
a boy want with a violin?

:07:17
For wood and glue?
Take the fire engine.

:07:20
Let him take the fiddle.
He could do worse.

:07:22
For instance, he might grow up
to be a piano player.

:07:25
You ought to know, Sidney.
:07:26
Pianist and composer.
Rates on request.

:07:29
The unknown genius waiting to be
discovered. Do I strike your fancy?

:07:33
- Not too much.
- Unfortunately, I'm not my own type either.

:07:36
Listen, Sidney, as a musician...
:07:38
...how much do you make
per week or per year?

:07:40
- Money? Cash money?
- Yes.

:07:42
I'll write a song entitled,
"If I had a Million, Would I Talk to You?"

:07:46
I'm a bargain-basement genius.
:07:47
You want my son
to be genius number two.

:07:49
What a future.
Paul, take the baseball bat.

:07:52
- I want the violin.
- He wants the violin.

:07:54
Statistics show a million boys
are crying for baseball bats.

:07:58
It isn't good enough.
He has to have a violin.
