:12:03
The mousy one with
the trench coat and the funny hat.
:12:07
How could I miss her?
Every night, every matinée.
:12:13
Come in, Eve.
:12:19
- I thoughtyou'd forgotten about me.
- Not at all.
:12:21
Margo, this is Eve Harrington.
:12:23
- How do you do, my dear?
- Oh, brother.
:12:26
- Hello, Miss Channing.
- My husband.
:12:28
- Hello, Miss Harrington.
- How do you do?
:12:30
And this is my dear friend
and companion, Miss Birdie Coonan.
:12:33
- Oh, brother.
- Miss Coonan.
:12:35
- Oh, brother, what?
- When she gets like this,
:12:38
she starts playing Hamlet's mother.
:12:40
I'm sure you must have things
to do in the bathroom, Birdie, dear.
:12:44
If I haven't, I'll find
something till you get normal.
:12:51
Won't you sit down, Miss Worthington?
:12:53
Harrington.
:12:54
- I'm so sorry. Won'tyou sit down?
- Thank you.
:13:01
- Would you like a drink?
- I was saying how often you've seen the play.
:13:05
No, thank you.
:13:07
Yes, I've seen every performance.
:13:09
Every performance?
Then am I safe in assuming you like it?
:13:13
- I'd like anything Miss Channing played in.
- Would you really? How sweet.
:13:18
I doubt very much that
you'd like her in The Hairy Ape.
:13:21
Please don't misunderstand me, Mr Richards.
:13:24
I think part of Miss Channing's greatness
lies in her ability to pickthe best plays.
:13:28
- Your new play is for Miss Channing, isn't it?
- Of course it is.
:13:32
- How did you hear about it?
- There was an item in The Times.
:13:36
I like the title, Footsteps on the Ceiling.
:13:39
Yes, but let's get backto this one.
:13:41
- Have you really seen every performance?
- Yes.
:13:44
Why? I'm curious.
:13:46
Well, if I didn't come to see the play,
I wouldn't have anywhere else to go.
:13:51
- There are other plays.
- Not with you in them. Not by Mr Richards.
:13:56
But you must have friends, a home, family?
