:36:04
Here lies
the secret of all happiness.
:36:08
To hear you talk, no one would
ever think you were a comedian.
:36:12
I'm beginning to realize that.
It's the reason I can't get a job.
:36:18
Why?
:36:21
Because they have no imagination.
:36:23
Or think because I'm getting
on in years I'm old, all washed up.
:36:28
Never! After hearing you talk.
:36:32
Perhaps I drank too much.
:36:35
There's usually a reason
for drinking.
:36:38
Unhappiness, I suppose.
:36:42
No, I'm used to that.
:36:46
It was more complicated.
:36:49
As a man gets on in years
he wants to live deeply.
:36:54
A feeling of sad dignity comes upon
him, and that's fatal for a comic.
:36:59
It affected my work.
:37:00
I lost contact with the audience,
couldn't warm up to them.
:37:04
And that's what started me drinking.
:37:07
I had to have it before I went on.
:37:09
It got so I couldn't be funny
without it. The more I drank...
:37:13
It became a vicious circle.
:37:15
What happened?
:37:16
A heart attack. I almost died.
:37:19
And you're still drinking?
:37:21
Occasionally, if I think of things.
:37:24
The wrong things I suppose,
as you do.
:37:27
What would you like
for your breakfast?
:37:30
What a sad business, being funny.
:37:33
Very sad if they won't laugh.
:37:36
But it's a thrill when they do.
:37:38
To look out there
and see them all laughing,
:37:42
to hear that roar go up,
waves of laughter coming at you.
:37:45
Let's talk of something
more cheerful.
:37:48
Besides I want to forget the public.
:37:51
Never. You love them too much.
:37:53
Maybe I love them,
but I don't admire them.
:37:55
I think you do.
:37:57
As individuals, yes.
There's greatness in everyone.
