:41:01
I've still got ideas, you know.
:41:04
I've been working on,
working on... a comedy act,
:41:08
for myself and my friend.
:41:10
It's sort of a musical satire.
:41:12
Wonderful!
:41:13
You know he's a very good pianist,
and me with the violin...
:41:18
A lot of very really
really very funny business.
:41:33
Come in.
:41:38
Sit down, my dear.
You look tired.
:41:41
I've been working with the claque,
going over Calvero's jokes.
:41:45
I gave them cue sheets so
they'll know exactly where to laugh.
:41:48
Are the jokes as bad as all that?
:41:51
I'm worried. If he fails tonight,
it'll kill him. I know it.
:41:55
He won't fail. The audience
will be most sympathetic.
:41:59
But he doesn't want sympathy.
He keeps saying that.
:42:02
He wants to be a genuine success.
:42:04
What does he expect?
You know he's not the man he was.
:42:09
He mustn't be told that!
:42:12
Tell me, my dear,
:42:14
are you still going to marry him?
:42:19
I'll do anything in the world
to make him happy.
:42:22
He's a very lucky man.
:42:25
He's a very, very lucky man.
:42:29
I never thought we'd come to this.
:42:32
Here we have the star dressing room
without a dresser.
:42:36
Oh well, I guess we can put up
with it for one night.
:42:39
Fred, the stage manager.
:42:41
Come in, Fred.
:42:43
Like old times,
seeing you in this room again.
:42:46
What's on your mind?
:42:48
You've got 10 minutes, because
there's 20 other acts to follow.
:42:53
You're in a song first,
finishing up with a musical act.
:42:56
I'll ring down
after you fall in the drum.
:42:58
No, after I'm carried off
in the drum.
