Those big, fat lush days when a star
could get drunk and disappear...
:23:06
...and hold up production for two weeks
are over.
:23:11
Even if you hadn't slipped a little,
they still wouldn't take the chance.
:23:17
Your record's too bad.
:23:20
No one can afford it anymore.
:23:22
Things are too tough.
:23:26
I tried, Norman.
:23:28
I tried very hard.
:23:30
I see.
:23:36
Don't look so miserable, Oliver.
There are other studios, you know.
:23:41
Only bad thing is I shan't be working
for you anymore.
:23:45
We had a long roll of the dice,
didn't we, Oliver?
:23:48
Can't complain now.
:23:52
By the way...
:23:54
...can you keep this under wraps
for a while?
:23:56
- I'd like to tell Esther in my own way.
- Of course.
:24:06
Have you seen this, Oliver?
:24:14
I've certainly picked a fine time
to build myself a big new house, didn't I?
:24:19
I sometimes think I was born
with a genius...
:24:22
...an absolute genius...
:24:25
...for doing the wrong thing.
:24:31
Since Mr. Maine feels that his career
will be benefited by a change...
:24:37
...we do not wish to stand in his way.
Unquote.
:24:41
When contacted...
:24:42
...the star said that he would announce
his future plans at a later date...
:24:47
The wheel goes round and round...
:24:50
...and if you just wait long enough...
:24:53
...it's finally your turn.
:24:57
Don't take that down, Miss Willer,
I was just talking to myself.
