1:07:02
Any time you want,
starting with tonight's performance.

1:07:06
This is for lawyers to talk about.
1:07:08
This concerns a contract
that you cannot rewrite or ad-lib.

1:07:12
Are you threatening me
with legal action, Mr Fabian?

1:07:17
- Are you breaking the contract?
- Answer my question.

1:07:21
- Who am I to threaten? I'm a dying man.
- I don't hear you.

1:07:25
- I said I'm a dying man!
- Not until the last drugstore

1:07:29
has sold its last pill.
1:07:31
I shall never understand the process
by which a body with a voice

1:07:35
suddenly fancies itself as a mind.
1:07:37
Just when does an actress decide
1:07:40
they're her words she's saying
and her thoughts she's expressing?

1:07:43
Usually at the point
when she has to rewrite and rethinkthem

1:07:47
to keep the audience from leaving the theatre.
1:07:50
It's about time the piano realised
it has not written the concerto!

1:07:59
And you, I take it, are the Paderewski
who plays his concerto on me, the piano?

1:08:07
Where is Princess Fire and Music?
1:08:10
- Who?
- The kid. Junior.

1:08:18
- Gone.
- I must have frightened her away.

1:08:21
I wouldn't be surprised.
Sometimes you frighten me.

1:08:24
Poor little flower.
Dropped her petals and folded her tent.

1:08:27
- Don't mix your metaphors.
- I'll mix what I like!

1:08:30
I'm nothing but a body with a voice. No mind.
1:08:33
What a body. What a voice.
1:08:36
That ex ship-news reporter.
No body, no voice, all mind.

1:08:41
- The gong rang, the fight's over, calm down.
- I will not calm down.

1:08:45
Don't calm down.
1:08:50
- You're being terribly tolerant, aren'tyou?
- I'm trying terribly hard.

1:08:54
Well, you needn't be. I will not be
tolerated and I will not be plotted against.

1:08:59
- Here we go.
- Such nonsense. What do you take me for?
