:53:01
Performance starts at two thirty.
:53:03
Jimmy. This is Mr. Aldrich,
of the Aldrich Selection Bureau.
:53:05
He was kind enough
to drive me back from lunch.
:53:07
My pleasure.
How do you do?
:53:09
I have a special
interest in Miss Kellerman.
:53:10
I'm trying to persuade her
to go on a tour.
:53:13
What kind of tour?
:53:14
He offered me
a great deal of money
:53:16
and ten weeks guarantee,
just to do a series of lectures.
:53:19
Yes, indeed. I see Miss Kellerman
in a very dignified presentation
:53:23
giving a lecture
on the body beautiful.
:53:26
Perhaps a little ballet
on the subject.
:53:29
Ballet? Lecture? No.
:53:33
What's so funny?
:53:34
Darling. I'm sorry that
one of us must be nutty.
:53:37
You competing
with William Jennings Brown.
:53:39
I can see you now
up on the platform
:53:40
with a picture
of water and ballet
:53:42
dancing around some grass drapes.
:53:44
Holy smoke.
:53:45
I'm happy
to be contributing so much
:53:46
to your amusement, Mr. Sullivan.
:53:48
But I assure you my end
is a very dignified
:53:51
and lucrative business.
:53:52
Miss Kellerman will not be
swimming around tank like a seal,
:53:56
performing in a carnival
like a fat lady on one side
:53:59
and a fire-eater on the other.
:54:01
You don't like carnivals?
:54:03
They have their place.
:54:04
And you don't like swimming
around tanks either.
:54:07
For a fish, yes.
:54:09
For a beautiful woman
like Miss kellerman...
:54:11
Mr. Aldrich,
I think it's about time
:54:14
that you learn to enjoy water.
:54:16
Jimmy, stop that.
:54:20
Jimmy, Let go of him. Let go.
Alright. Run along, sonny,
:54:22
and take your grass
sticks with you.
:54:24
Jimmy, how dare you.
Mr. Aldrich, I'm terribly sorry.
:54:27
Go over there and sit down.
:54:29
Annette, put over your suit.
:54:30
The show starts
in twenty minutes.
