:57:00
He's just gonna sit with me.
:57:04
Oliver, this is Cuddles, my social secretary.
:57:07
We go everywhere together.
:57:10
How are you feeling?
:57:12
I'm coming along splendidly,
so Cuddles tells me.
:57:15
He says you ought to see
some of the boys.
:57:18
Let's sit down.
:57:20
Cuddles, we really don't need you.
:57:27
Touching, isn't it?
He can't bear to have me out of his sight.
:57:31
You comfortable here?
:57:33
Comfortable?
Why, it's positively luxurious.
:57:36
Why, we even have steel mesh
on the windows to keep the drafts out.
:57:41
How much longer do you think
you'll be here?
:57:44
I'm really cured now,
only I'm just staying on...
:57:47
...an extra week or two
until I get into really good shape.
:57:50
After all, there isn't any great hurry
to return to the cameras.
:57:54
That's what I want to talk to you about.
:57:57
I have a script here.
:57:58
It has a fine part for you in it.
:58:08
Why, that's great Oliver.
:58:11
Who plays opposite me?
:58:13
Well, it isn't exactly the lead, Norman.
Young Pemberton's doing that.
:58:16
But I'll tell you frankly, I consider your part
better than the lead.
:58:20
I see. Better than the lead.
:58:22
Of course, it isn't terribly long. It's one
of those parts that make an impression.
:58:27
They'll be thinking about you
all through the picture.
:58:32
The thing is, Oliver,
that I'm pretty well set at another studio.
:58:36
I'm not at liberty at the moment
to tell you which one.
:58:38
You know yourself how those things are,
but it's big, big.
:58:43
It's one of the biggest pictures of the year.
:58:46
As for the part, every actor in Hollywood
would give his eyeteeth to play it.
:58:50
That's fine, Norman, that's fine.
:58:55
Naturally, that'll tie you up for a while.
:58:58
However, we're not getting to this
for some time.
