:57:43
What are you doing up so late?
:57:46
I just couldn't sleep.
:57:49
Then I saw the partition doors open,
so I got up an hour ago.
:57:54
Some hot soup?
:57:56
No, thanks.
:57:58
You look tired.
:58:00
Do I?
:58:02
I know you're worried,
:58:04
but the Middlesex contract's signed,
it's just the delay.
:58:09
There's no delay.
:58:12
What do you mean?
:58:14
It happened tonight.
:58:17
The Middlesex?
:58:20
Why didn't you let me know?
:58:22
I didn't want you to go through
the suspense of it.
:58:26
Then forget everything now,
and get a good night's rest.
:58:33
They walked out on me.
:58:37
They haven't done that
since I was a beginner.
:58:40
The cycle's complete.
:58:43
But you've changed your name!
They didn't know you.
:58:47
No, I wasn't funny.
The trouble is, I was sober.
:58:51
I should have been drunk
before going on.
:58:54
I still insist
they didn't know you.
:58:56
Just as well they didn't.
:58:59
Naturally! You can't expect too much
the first performance.
