: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.
:59:03
You haven't worked in a long time.
:59:05
But you'll see, tonight
when you go back it'll be different.
:59:09
I'm not going back.
:59:12
Why?
:59:14
They've terminated the contract.
:59:19
But they can't do that!
:59:21
They can. They have.
:59:25
You were engaged for the week!
You can insist.
:59:30
It's no use. I'm finished.
:59:34
Through!
:59:37
Nonsense.
:59:40
Are you, Calvero, going to allow
one performance to destroy you?
:59:44
Of course not!
You're too great an artist.
:59:46
Now's the time to show them
what you're made of. Time to fight!
:59:51
Remember what you told me,
standing there by that window?
:59:55
Remember what you said?
:59:57
About the power of the universe
moving the earth?
