: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?
:14:02
Tell us about it, Eve.
:14:05
- If I only knew how.
- Try.
:14:09
Well...
:14:29
Well, it started with the play before this one.
:14:32
- Remembrance.
- Remembrance.
:14:35
- Did you see it here in New York?
- San Francisco.
:14:38
It was the last week. I went one night.
:14:41
The most important night
of my life... until now.
:14:44
I found myself going the next night
and the next and the next.
:14:48
Every performance.
:14:50
Then, when the show went East, I went East.
:14:54
- Eve, why don'tyou start at the beginning?
- It couldn't possibly interestyou.
:14:59
Please.
