:48:02
Tell you what. Why don't I read with her?
:48:06
- Would you?
- Anything to help you out, Max.
:48:09
Now that's cooperation. I appreciate it.
:48:12
Not at all. And now you
can do me a great favour.
:48:16
Just name it.
:48:18
Give Eve Harrington a job in your office.
:48:25
You get quick action, don'tyou?
:48:27
I wouldn't think of taking
that girl away from you.
:48:30
You said yourself my inventory was in shape,
all my merchandise put away.
:48:35
To keep her here with nothing to do,
I'd be standing in her way.
:48:38
- And you need her, Max.
- What will she do?
:48:41
She'd be a great help. She'd read scripts,
:48:44
interview people you have to see,
get rid of those you don't have to.
:48:48
You'd be a man of leisure, Maxie.
:48:51
- Well...
- Think of your health.
:48:53
More time to relax
in the fresh air at a racetrack.
:48:57
- I don't think it's such a good idea.
- Promise?
:49:00
- Promise.
- That's my Max.
:49:04
There you both are.
:49:06
Max, Karen's decided it's time to go.
:49:08
- Where is she now?
- Up in your room.
:49:11
If you'll excuse me,
I'll go and tell Miss Caswell.
:49:17
- Who's left out there?
- Too many.
:49:20
And, besides, you got a new guest.
A movie star from Hollywood.
:49:23
Shucks! And I sent
my autograph bookto the cleaners.
:49:32
You disapprove of me
when I'm like this, don'tyou?
:49:35
Not exactly. Sometimes, though,
I wish I understood you better.
:49:39
- When you do, let me in on it.
- I will.
:49:43
- How's the new one coming?
- The play? Oh, all right, I guess.
:49:49
Cora. Still a girl of 20?
:49:52
20-ish. It's not important.
:49:54
Don't you think it's about time
it became important?
:49:57
- How do you mean?
- Don't be evasive.
