:01:00
What medicine?
:01:01
You didn't.
It's to give you an appetite.
:01:04
I've quenched my appetite.
:01:06
You'll be ill again,
if you don't eat.
:01:08
Well, I much prefer to drink.
:01:11
A man's true character comes out
when he's drunk.
:01:14
Me, I'm funnier.
:01:17
Too bad I didn't drink
at the Middlesex.
:01:19
I've got good news for you.
:01:21
Mr. Bodalink wants to see you
tomorrow morning.
:01:24
Who's he?
:01:26
Our dance director. He wants you
to play a clown in the new ballet.
:01:30
I'm through clowning.
:01:32
Life isn't a gag anymore.
I can't see the joke.
:01:35
From now on, I'm a retired humorist.
:01:38
You'll feel differently
in the morning.
:01:40
No, I hate the theatre!
:01:43
Someday I'll buy
an acre of ground somewhere
:01:46
and raise a few cut flowers,
and make a living that way.
:02:00
What do you think?
It's all settled. I play the clown.
:02:05
Let's sit down over here
and you can tell me all about it.
:02:15
Of course, the salary isn't much.
:02:19
Two pounds?
:02:21
But it's a foot in the door.
Naturally I'm not using my own name.
:02:25
This Bodalink's a nice chap.
Says you're quite a dancer.
:02:29
If you'd have come to the theatre,
you might have known it.
:02:33
Why didn't you tell me
you were auditioning?
:02:36
I wanted to surprise you.
:02:38
I'm not sure of the outcome.
It depends on Mr. Postant.
:02:41
Postant!
I thought he'd retired years ago.
:02:45
Why, do you know him?
:02:47
Last time I worked for Postant,
I was the headline here.
:02:50
Footlights!
