:15:02
You don't sound as if you mean it.
What am I doing wrong?

:15:05
Nothing.
:15:08
What's the matter, pops?
:15:10
- Did you know we're going on the road?
- No, I didn't.

:15:13
How long will you be gone?
:15:15
Booker's got a good deal for us
in New York.

:15:17
We've been figuring on staying there,
maybe for good.

:15:20
- Hey, swell. I'll go with you.
- You can't.

:15:24
- Even if you could, you shouldn't.
- Why not?

:15:27
You've got to think about
what you're going to do.

:15:30
- What you're going to be.
- That's easy.

:15:32
I'm gonna be a trumpet man like you,
get me a job with a good band...

:15:35
You think that's all there is to it?
:15:38
Well, you... You taught me to play
a pretty good trumpet, didn't you?

:15:41
You play a fine trumpet.
:15:43
- Well, then...
- But what's it worth?

:15:46
Look at me.
:15:48
What have I got after 20 years of it?
:15:51
A wife, kids, money in the bank?
:15:55
- No.
- Why, you got the best band in the country.

:16:00
I guess I'm playing with a heavy mute.
:16:04
Look, boy.
:16:06
You've got music in you.
:16:08
You've got it here.
:16:10
And you've got it here.
:16:12
But the way things are, very few people
will ever know what you're saying.

:16:16
- Or what you're trying to do.
- Who cares? I don't play for people.

:16:20
I play for myself.
:16:22
Look, boy.
:16:25
A man's got a lot of living to do
in this world.

:16:28
But you, you're kind of locked up
inside yourself.

:16:32
You're like a... Like a bird trying to fly
on one wing.

:16:38
You'll stay up for a while.
:16:41
Then you're going to fall.
:16:45
Have a drink of milk.
:16:51
I'm gonna miss you, pops.
:16:55
Oh, I almost forgot.
