1:21:01
But you're not a woman.
1:21:07
Slow curtain. The end.
1:21:11
Margo. Margo, I wantyou
to know how sorry I am about this.
1:21:16
- About what?
- This.
1:21:19
I can't tell you how sorry I am.
1:21:22
Don't give it a thought.
One of destiny's merry pranks.
1:21:25
After all, you didn't personally
drain the gasoline tank yourself.
1:21:36
Eve, of course, was superb.
1:21:38
Many of the audience understandably
preferred to return another time to see Margo.
1:21:43
But those who remained cheered loudly,
lustily and longfor Eve.
1:21:47
How thoughtful of her to call
and invite me that afternoon.
1:21:51
And what a happy coincidence
that several representatives
1:21:54
of other newspapers happened to be present.
1:21:57
All of us invited that afternoon
1:21:59
to attend an understudy's performance,
about which the management knew nothing
1:22:03
until they were forced
to ring up the curtain at nine o'clock.
1:22:07
Coincidence.
1:22:08
You were better than all right.
1:22:11
You rang a bell. Little things
here and there, but it doesn't matter.
1:22:14
Be proud of yourself. You've got a right to be.
1:22:17
Are you proud of me, Bill?
1:22:19
I admit I was worried
when Max called. I had my doubts.
1:22:22
- You shouldn't have had any doubts.
- After all, the other day was one scene.
1:22:26
The woods are full of one-scene sensations.
1:22:29
But you did it. With work and patience,
you'll be a good actress
1:22:33
- if that's whatyou wanna be.
- Is that whatyou want me to be?
1:22:36
- I'm talking aboutyou and whatyou want.
- So am I.
1:22:42
- What have I got to do with it?
- Everything.
1:22:47
The names I've been called,
but never Svengali. Good luck.
1:22:54
Don't run away, Bill.
1:22:57
From what would I be running?
