: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.
:20:00
All Mr Edwards wants is for the world to
enjoy your talent and for you to be happy.
:20:06
And what does he get out of it?
:20:08
Just your gratitude.
:20:10
What does he ever get out of the things
he does? Money? Power? Fame?
:20:15
Nah. He's got all those.
:20:17
All that he can look forward to
is the honest gratitude
:20:21
of the little people that he helps,
like you and me and Mr Dawes.
:20:28
Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?
:20:35
I... have to telephone somebody.
:20:39
Please excuse me, Mr Dawes.
:20:48
Ah, Muldoon, you're a charmer.
:20:50
The little birds right out of the trees.
