:10:04
What are you thinking about, Stan?
:10:07
Molly was telling me about that code
you and Pete used to use in vaudeville.
:10:11
What about it?
:10:13
Well, I was thinking
that if Pete got sick or something...
:10:17
why, I could work from the audience
just like he used to.
:10:20
No stage trap,
no gypsy switch.
:10:23
- How do you mean?
- You know, if you taught me the code.
:10:28
Over my dead body she will.
:10:31
You got a nerve,
young fella.
:10:33
- Do you know what a code like that is worth?
- Okay, okay, forget it.
:10:38
- I was just trying to help you folks.
- I heard you the first time.
:11:09
We gotta... We gotta watch ourselves
on account of...
:11:14
- Sure.
- Hurt him enough already.
:11:16
I thought it was the other way around.
:11:19
No, Pete was all right
till they picked me up.
:11:23
- What happened?
- Exactly what's happening now.
:11:27
I'm about as reliable
as a two-dollar cornet.
:11:30
You're crazy.
You've got a heart as big...
:11:33
Sure. As big as an artichoke.
A leaf for everyone.
:11:37
That's what Pete said
when he began hittin' the bottle.
:11:41
Then one day he didn't show up.
:11:44
I dug up another partner,
a magician by the name of Benston.
:11:48
I was no good without Pete.
:11:50
In a couple of seasons
I was glad to get a job with an outfit like this.
:11:55
Pete showed up about a year ago.
:11:59
Here we are.
