1:34:01
Margo and Bill want us to meet them
at the Cub Room tonight after the theatre.
1:34:06
Margo Channing in the Cub Room.
1:34:09
I couldn't be more surprised
if she'd said Grant's tomb.
1:34:12
- I'm glad Bill's back.
- They'd die without each other.
1:34:17
I didn't promise Eve anything.
I said she'd be fine for the part
1:34:21
but there were practical difficulties.
1:34:23
- Such as?
- You, for one.
1:34:25
I told her you wanted Margo to play
the part and I would wantyour approval.
1:34:29
That's fine. Fine and dandy.
1:34:31
Just refer all of Miss Eve Harrington's
future requests to me.
1:34:39
The so-called art of acting is not one
for which I have a particularly high regard.
1:34:44
- Hear, hear.
- Butyou may quote me as follows:
1:34:47
"Tonight Miss Margo Channing gave
a performance in your cockamamie play,
1:34:52
the like of which I have never seen before
and expect rarely to see again."
1:34:58
- He does not exaggerate. I was good.
- You were great.
1:35:01
Quite a night. I hear your understudy,
a Miss Harrington, has given her notice.
1:35:06
- Too bad.
- I'm broken up about it.
1:35:08
You just can't pick up
champagne and drink it.
1:35:11
Somebody's got to be
very witty about a toast.
1:35:14
I shall propose the toast,
1:35:16
without wit, with all my heart.
1:35:20
To Margo.
1:35:21
- To my bride-to-be.
- Glory hallelujah.
1:35:25
- Margo.
- Drink.
1:35:30
- When? When are you going to do it?
- Tomorrow we meet at City Hall at ten.
1:35:33
- And you're going to be on time.
- Yes, sir.
1:35:36
City Hall, that's for prizefighters and
reporters. I see a cathedral, banks of flowers...
1:35:41
It's only for the licence.
There's a three-day wait for blood tests.
1:35:45
I'll marry you if it turns out
you have no blood at all.
1:35:49
- What are you going to wear?
- Something simple,
1:35:51
a fur coat over a nightgown.
1:35:53
The point is this. In a cathedral,
a ballpark or a penny arcade,
1:35:58
we wantyou two beside us,
as our nearest and dearest friends.
