1:25:02
I don't think I've done anything
to sound off about.

1:25:05
We come into this world with our little
egos equipped with individual horns.

1:25:09
If we don't blowthem, who else will?
1:25:11
Even so... one pretty good performance by
an understudy, it'll be forgotten tomorrow.

1:25:19
It needn't be.
1:25:21
Even if I wanted to, as you say,
be less humble, blow my own horn,

1:25:28
how would I do it? I'm less than nobody.
1:25:32
- I'm somebody.
- You certainly are.

1:25:37
Leave the door open a bit... so we can talk.
1:25:45
After you change, if you're not busy
elsewhere, we could have supper.

1:25:49
I'd love to. Or should I pretend I'm busy?
1:25:53
Let's have a minimum of pretending.
I shall want to do a column aboutyou.

1:25:57
I'm not even enough for a paragraph.
1:25:59
Perhaps more than one. There's so much
I want to know. I've heard your story in part.

1:26:04
Your home in Wisconsin, your tragic
marriage, your fanatical attachment to Margo.

1:26:09
It started in San Francisco, didn't it?
1:26:12
I say your idolatry of Margo
started in San Francisco, didn't it?

1:26:17
That's right.
1:26:18
San Francisco, an oasis of
civilisation in the California desert.

1:26:22
Tell me, do you share
my high opinion of San Francisco?

1:26:26
Yes, I do.
1:26:29
And that memorable night when Margo
first dazzled you from the stage,

1:26:33
what theatre was it in San Francisco?
Was it the Shubert?

1:26:37
Yes, the Shubert.
1:26:39
Fine old theatre, the Shubert. Full of tradition.
1:26:43
Untouched by the earthquake.
Or should I say fire?

1:26:47
Tell me, what was your husband's name?
1:26:50
- Eddie.
- Eddie what?

1:26:56
I'm about to go into the shower.
I won't be able to hear you.
