1:02:02
for which all true believers
wait and pray. You were one.
1:02:05
Jeanne Eagels another, Paula Wessely,
Hayes. There are others, three or four.
1:02:10
Eve Harrington will be among them.
1:02:13
I take it she read well.
1:02:15
It wasn't a reading, it was a performance.
1:02:17
Brilliant, vivid,
something made of music and fire.
1:02:21
How nice.
1:02:23
In time, she'll be whatyou are.
1:02:26
A mass of music and fire.
1:02:29
That's me. An old kazoo with some sparklers.
1:02:34
Tell me, was... Bill swept away too?
1:02:38
- Or were you too full of revelation to notice?
- Bill didn't say.
1:02:42
But Lloyd listened to his play as if
it had been written by someone else, he said.
1:02:47
It sounded so fresh,
so new, so full of meaning.
1:02:51
How nice for Lloyd. How nice for Eve.
How nice for everybody.
1:02:56
Eve was incredibly modest.
She insisted that no credit was due her.
1:03:00
That Lloyd felt as he did because she read
his lines exactly as he'd written them.
1:03:04
The implication being
that I did not read them as written?
1:03:07
Neither your name nor your performance
entered the conversation.
1:03:18
Feeling better, my dear?
1:03:22
Like I just swam the English Channel.
Now what?
1:03:26
Your next move, it seems to me,
should be towards television.
1:03:33
Tell me this.
Do they have auditions for television?
1:03:37
That's all television is, my dear.
Nothing but auditions.
1:03:45
Margo, darling.
1:03:58
Terribly sorry I was late.
Lunch was long and I couldn't find a cab.
