1:04:02
- Where's Miss Caswell? Oh, hello, Eve.
- Hello, Miss Channing.

1:04:06
How are you making out
in Mr Fabian's office?

1:04:08
Now, Max, I don't wantyou working this child
too hard just because you promised.

1:04:13
As you see, I kept my promise, too.
1:04:16
It's all over.
1:04:18
- What's all over?
- The audition.

1:04:21
- Eve read with Miss Caswell.
- Eve? How enchanting.

1:04:26
How did you get the idea of letting
Eve read with Miss Caswell?

1:04:29
- Well, she's your understudy.
- Eve? My understudy? I had no idea.

1:04:33
I thoughtyou knew. She started a week ago.
1:04:35
I've never seen her backstage, but with
so many people loitering about... Well, well.

1:04:41
So Eve is not working for Max, after all.
1:04:45
Max, you sly puss.
1:04:50
Miss Channing, I can't tell you
how glad I am thatyou arrived so late.

1:04:54
- Really, Eve? Why?
- Otherwise, I never would have dared to read.

1:04:59
- Why not?
- If you'd come in the middle,

1:05:01
I couldn't have gone on.
1:05:03
What a pity.
All that fire and music being turned off.

1:05:07
- What fire and music?
- You wouldn't understand.

1:05:10
How was Miss Caswell?
1:05:12
Back to the Copacabana.
1:05:14
But Eve, Margo. Let me tell you about Eve.
1:05:16
I was dreadful, Miss Channing. I have no right
to be anyone's understudy, much less yours.

1:05:22
I'm sure you underestimate yourself.
You always do.

1:05:25
You were about to tell me about Eve.
1:05:27
- You'd have been proud of her.
- I'm sure.

1:05:29
- She was a revelation.
- To you too?

1:05:31
- What do you mean by that?
- It must have been a revelation

1:05:35
to have a 24-year-old character
played by a 24-year-old actress.

1:05:38
- That's beside the point.
- It is the point.

1:05:41
It must have seemed so new and fresh to you,
1:05:43
so exciting, to have your lines
read just as you wrote them.

1:05:46
- Addison.
- So full of meaning, fire and music.

1:05:51
You've talked to that
venomous fishwife DeWitt.

1:05:54
In this case, as trustworthy
as the world almanac.

1:05:57
You knew when you came in
that Eve was your understudy.
