:45:02
Why are you backing out?
Everything's in the palm of my hand. Why?
:45:05
I refuse to throw
good money after bad.
:45:07
- But you know what this means to me, Phil.
- Harry. Harry.
:45:10
This is my last word
on the subject.
:45:12
Get a box office attraction, a big name,
then you'll get the money.
:45:15
What do you mean?
:45:17
Well, I know nothing
about wrestling...
:45:19
but I'm told there are men
who are big draws.
:45:22
- Men like, for instance, the Strangler.
- The Stra -
:45:25
But I can't.
Gregorious would leave me.
:45:28
If you don't, I'm forced to leave you.
And then where are you?
:45:32
As I see it, Harry, your only course
is to keep moving right ahead.
:45:36
Go on, get the Strangler.
That's your first problem.
:45:39
Then I'm sure you'll have no difficulty
in persuading any wrestler to meet him.
:45:42
Seems to me you have
no alternative, have you?
:45:49
All right, I can do it.
I can do it. I'll do it.
:45:52
- But will you give me the money
to get the Strangler?
- Of course I will.
:45:55
I'll back you without limit.
I consider it a sound investment, dear boy.
:45:59
All right.
:46:21
Give him another of the same.
Gin for me.
:46:23
- Hello, Beer. What's the good word?
- Well, hello to you.
:46:26
Hey, word's all over town
that you made Kristo turn tail.
:46:29
- How'd you do it?
- Brains, chum. Brains and guts.
:46:32
- There's no stopping you now, eh, Harry?
- Never was.
:46:36
- Where's the Strangler?
- He's joined Madame La Posh's circus for dinner.
:46:39
Look at him.
:46:43
- Ain't he a cute sight?
- Yes, very cute. Very cute.
:46:48
Uh, Beer, uh...
:46:51
how much do you get for the Strangler
when he fights for Kristo?
:46:54
- That all depends.
- Fifty quid. That's what you get.
:46:58
All right, now that I've shown you managers
that Kristo's all bubble and squeak...
