A man's true character comes out
when he's drunk.
1:07:04
Me, I'm funnier.
1:07:07
Too bad I didn't drink
at the Middlesex.
1:07:09
I've got good news for you.
1:07:11
Mr. Bodalink wants to see you
tomorrow morning.
1:07:14
Who's he?
1:07:15
Our dance director. He wants you
to play a clown in the new ballet.
1:07:19
I'm through clowning.
1:07:21
Life isn't a gag anymore.
I can't see the joke.
1:07:25
From now on, I'm a retired humorist.
1:07:28
You'll feel differently
in the morning.
1:07:30
No, I hate the theatre!
1:07:32
Someday I'll buy
an acre of ground somewhere
1:07:36
and raise a few cut flowers,
and make a living that way.
1:07:50
What do you think?
It's all settled. I play the clown.
1:07:55
Let's sit down over here
and you can tell me all about it.
1:08:05
Of course, the salary isn't much.
1:08:09
Two pounds?
1:08:10
But it's a foot in the door.
Naturally I'm not using my own name.
1:08:15
This Bodalink's a nice chap.
Says you're quite a dancer.
1:08:19
If you'd have come to the theatre,
you might have known it.
1:08:23
Why didn't you tell me
you were auditioning?
1:08:25
I wanted to surprise you.
1:08:27
I'm not sure of the outcome.
It depends on Mr. Postant.
1:08:30
Postant!
I thought he'd retired years ago.
1:08:35
Why, do you know him?
1:08:37
Last time I worked for Postant,
I was the headline here.
1:08:40
Footlights!
