:07:02
What can there be to know
that you don't know?
:07:05
When was it? How long?
:07:08
It seems a lifetime ago.
:07:11
Lloyd always said that in the theatre a lifetime
was a season and a season a lifetime.
:07:15
It's June now. That was early October.
:07:20
Only last October.
:07:24
It was a drizzly night.
I remember I asked the taxi to wait.
:07:34
Where was she?
:07:35
Strange. I'd become so accustomed
to seeing her there night after night,
:07:40
I found myself lookingfor a girl
I'd never spoken to.
:07:43
Wondering where she was.
:07:50
Mrs Richards?
:07:53
There you are.
:07:56
It seemed odd, suddenly, your not being here.
:08:00
- Why should you think I wouldn't be?
- Why should you be?
:08:03
Six nights a week for weeks of watching even
Margo Channing enter and leave a theatre.
:08:08
- You don't mind my speaking to you?
- Not at all.
:08:11
I've seen you so often.
It took every bit of courage I could raise.
:08:14
To speakto just a playwright's wife?
:08:17
I'm the lowest form of celebrity.
:08:19
You're Margo Channing's best friend.
You and your husband are always with her.
:08:24
And Mr Sampson. What's he like?
:08:27
Bill Sampson? He's a director.
:08:31
- He's the best.
- He'll agree with you.
:08:33
Tell me. What do you do in between
the time Margo goes in and comes out?
:08:38
Just huddle in that doorway and wait?
:08:40
No. I see the play.
:08:43
You see the play? You've seen
every performance of this play?
:08:48
Yes.
:08:50
But don'tyou find it, apart from
everything else, don'tyou find it expensive?
:08:55
Standing room doesn't cost much. I manage.
:08:59
- I'm gonna take you to Margo.
- No.
