:42:03
The people with the money in their
hot little hands put her up there,
:42:07
and she could do no wrong.
:42:09
But I can remember very well the day
it did look like the roof fell in on all of us.
:42:15
It was in London. Back in the States, the
picture was a smash from coast to coast.
:42:20
I and Kirk Edwards had flown
over to see S Montague Brown,
:42:23
who wanted it for his theatres in England.
:42:27
I could tell right away something
was wrong. Kirk didn't even look at me.
:42:32
And S Montague Brown was eating
:42:34
as if the Labour Party had
just been elected unanimously.
:42:40
May I know what the depression is about?
:42:42
- Maria.
- What about Maria?
:42:44
Maria's mother is dead.
:42:46
Everybody's mother's gotta die sometime.
Don't let it get you down like this.
:42:50
As a matter of fact, we can milk this
for some good exploitation in Spain.
:42:54
Maybe even worldwide. A big church
funeral, using pesetas, remember.
:42:58
Oscar, shut up.
:43:00
Mr Muldoon, it seems that Maria's mother
was murdered by Maria's father.
:43:04
Murdered? Her father
murdered her mother? When?
:43:08
- Last night.
- How'd you hear about this?
:43:11
The Madrid office just telephoned.
:43:13
- The papers? Has it got to the papers?
- Not yet.
:43:15
As you know, over here crime
is not exploited to sell newspapers.
:43:19
Without it you could print the three main
papers in England on postage stamps.
:43:23
I am not interested in selling newspapers,
or in debating good and bad taste.
:43:27
The newspapers have not yet picked it up,
and won't, as long as Maria stays out of it.
:43:32
Boss, you're 100% right. We gotta keep
her out of it. Does she know about it yet?
:43:36
I've put in a call
to Harry Dawes. He can find out.
:43:39
- You want Harry to tell her?
- Of course not.
:43:41
Certainly not until the trial is over
and it's too late to be news.
:43:44
And we're finished playing the key cities.
Boss, you think of everything.
:43:48
Ah, what a business, show business.
:43:50
For years you sweat and dream and dig
and finally you come up with the jackpot.
:43:55
You've made it. You got a right to
open your collar, take off your shoes
:43:59
and relax in Las Vegas
for the rest of your life.
