1:31:04
I guess at this point
I'm what the French call "de trop".
1:31:07
Maybe just a little around the edges.
1:31:22
It's Addison from start to finish.
It drips with his brand of venom.
1:31:26
Taking advantage of a kid,
twisting her words,
1:31:28
making her say what he wanted her to say.
1:31:31
- Where did you get all that information?
- Eve.
1:31:35
- Eve?
- She's been to see me.
1:31:38
She left just before you came in.
You just missed her.
1:31:41
- That was a pity.
- Wanted to explain about the interview.
1:31:44
Wanted to apologise to someone,
and didn't dare face Margo.
1:31:48
- I wonder why.
- She started talking and couldn't finish.
1:31:52
She cried so.
1:31:55
I've been going over our financial position,
if you'll pardon the expression.
1:31:59
- That's quite a change of subject.
- What with taxes coming up, and,
1:32:04
since I'm a playwright and not
an oil-well operator, I was thinking...
1:32:08
I'm trying hard to follow you.
1:32:10
Instead of waiting until next season
to do Footsteps on the Ceiling,
1:32:13
which is in pretty good shape,
1:32:15
and if Margo can be talked into
going on tour with Aged in Wood,
1:32:19
we could put Footsteps
into production right away.
1:32:22
- I'm beginning to catch up.
- If we can cast it properly, that is.
1:32:26
Maybe get some younger actress? Someone
who'd lookthe part as well as play it?
1:32:31
- You've got to admit, it'd be a novelty.
- Now you're quoting Addison... or Eve.
1:32:35
Eve did mention the play, but in passing.
1:32:38
She'd never have the nerve
to askto play a part like Cora.
1:32:41
Eve would askAbbott to give her Costello.
1:32:44
I got the idea myself while
she was talking about the play.
1:32:47
- With gestures, of course.
- To write something
1:32:50
and have it realised completely.
For once, not to compromise.
1:32:55
Lloyd Richards, do not consider giving
that contemptible little worm the part of Cora!
1:32:59
- Now just a minute...
- Margo's not been exactly a compromise.
