Señorita, this is Oscar Muldoon,
whom I'm sure you recognise.
:17:43
Meet Kirk Edwards.
Don't get up, Mr Edwards.
:17:48
Sorry we got here
too late to see you dance.
:17:51
We certainly are, señorita, because
we understand you got a lot of talent.
:17:55
And that's the one thing that could make
Mr Edwards fly all the way from Rome.
:17:59
All the way from California. Talent.
:18:01
And where other men go for
a pretty face or a pair of legs,
:18:04
talent is what Mr Kirk Edwards worships.
:18:07
It's his religion, you might almost say.
:18:09
Something to eat, señorita?
Waiter! "Mangiare? Poco di vino," señorita?
:18:15
- Do you speak Spanish, señor?
- Just a couple of words.
:18:19
Not even that. One of them was Italian.
:18:22
Speak only English, please.
:18:25
A whisky for me, like before.
:18:29
Now, did Mr Dawes have a chance to
tell you what Mr Edwards has in mind?
:18:35
Oh, you wouldn't know, of course,
who Mr Harry Dawes is, in his own name.
:18:40
He is only one of the top two or three
writers and directors in the whole world.
:18:45
I only want to indicate to you by this
how Mr Edwards does things.
:18:49
Only the top, the class, the finest money
can buy, all the way up and down the line.
:18:53
Mr Edwards doesn't have to
watch the pennies. You know that?
:18:56
I don't want to throw Oscar off pitch, but I
told Señorita Vargas what this was about.
