1:46:03
Calvero, come back.
1:46:06
You've got to come back!
1:46:09
I can't.
I must go forward.
1:46:14
That's progress.
1:46:15
Then let me go with you.
1:46:19
I'll do everything in the world
to make you happy.
1:46:23
That's what hurts.
I know you will.
1:46:30
Mr. Postant said
he'd give you a benefit.
1:46:33
I don't want his charity.
1:46:36
It isn't charity.
1:46:38
He says it'd be the greatest
event in theatrical history.
1:46:42
I'm not interested in events.
1:46:45
But I would like a chance just
to show them I'm not through yet.
1:46:48
Of course.
1:46:51
I've still got ideas, you know.
1:46:53
I've been working on,
working on... a comedy act,
1:46:58
for myself and my friend.
1:47:00
It's sort of a musical satire.
1:47:02
Wonderful!
1:47:03
You know he's a very good pianist,
and me with the violin...
1:47:08
A lot of very really
really very funny business.
1:47:23
Come in.
1:47:28
Sit down, my dear.
You look tired.
1:47:31
I've been working with the claque,
going over Calvero's jokes.
1:47:35
I gave them cue sheets so
they'll know exactly where to laugh.
1:47:38
Are the jokes as bad as all that?
1:47:40
I'm worried. If he fails tonight,
it'll kill him. I know it.
1:47:45
He won't fail. The audience
will be most sympathetic.
1:47:49
But he doesn't want sympathy.
He keeps saying that.
1:47:52
He wants to be a genuine success.
1:47:54
What does he expect?
You know he's not the man he was.
1:47:59
He mustn't be told that!
