: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.
:19:01
- I said we could shoot the test in Rome.
- Señorita... Miss Vargas...
:19:05
We'll have to change that name. Maria.
:19:08
Mr Edwards will pay your expenses
while you're tested,
:19:12
and if it works out, you'll be put
under contract to him personally.
:19:16
And you'll be paid in dollars.
Not pesetas, but dollars.
:19:19
- Maybe $100 a week to start with.
- How much is that in pesetas?
:19:22
Maybe $200 a week.
We can work that out later.
:19:24
The point is, Mr Edwards
is going to leave no stone unturned
:19:28
to develop your talent
and make you happy.
:19:31
Afraid you'll be lonely,
far away in Hollywood?
:19:34
There's no reason why, after a time,
we can't send for your mother.
:19:38
After all, a girl likes to have
her mother with her. Right?
:19:41
I would not like to have
my mother with me.
:19:44
Why not?
:19:45
- Because I do not like my mother.
- I'm sure you don't mean that.
:19:49
- Every mother should be loved.
- If they deserve it.
:19:52
We can work all that out later too.
:19:54
The miracle has happened
and a great career is yours.
:19:58
No strings attached, no jokers.
