Lloyd says Margo compensates for
underplaying on stage by overplaying reality.
:52:07
Next to that sable, my new mink
seems like an old bed jacket.
:52:11
You've done your share, Eve. You've
worked wonders with Margo. Good night.
:52:16
- Mrs Richards?
- Karen.
:52:19
Karen.
:52:21
Isn't it awful? I'm about
to ask you for another favour,
:52:24
after all you've done already.
:52:26
Nobody's done so much.
:52:28
Stop thinking of yourself
as one of the hundred neediest cases.
:52:32
- What is it?
- Miss Channing's affairs are in good shape,
:52:36
so there isn't enough
to keep me as busy as I should be.
:52:39
Not that I'd consider anything
that would take me away from her.
:52:42
But the other day
when Mr Fabian told Miss Channing
:52:46
that her understudy was going to have
a baby and they'd have to replace her...
:52:50
- You wanna be Margo's new understudy?
- I don't let myself think about it even.
:52:55
But I do knowthe part so well,
and every bit of the staging,
:52:58
there'd be no need to break in a new girl.
:53:02
Suppose I had to go on one night
:53:05
to an audience that came
to see Margo Channing.
:53:08
- I couldn't possibly.
- I wouldn't worry too much about that.
:53:11
Margo just doesn't miss performances.
If she can walk, crawl or roll, she plays.
:53:17
- The show must go on.
- No, dear. Margo must go on.
:53:21
I don't see any reason
why you shouldn't be her understudy.
:53:24
- You think Miss Channing would approve?
- I think she'd cheer.
:53:28
- But Mr Richards and Mr Sampson?
- They'll do as they're told.
:53:33
Then... would you speak
to Mr Fabian about it?
:53:36
- Of course.
- You won't forget?
:53:39
I won't forget.
:53:43
I seem to be forever
thanking you for something, don't I?
:53:55
The bed looks like a dead animal act.
:53:58
- Which one is sable?
- But she just got here.
