:54:10
That was mighty tactful of you.
:54:15
What do you want?
:54:16
I read the script, I don't dig it.
:54:20
Did you read all of it?
:54:26
Did you read all of it?
:54:28
You know I never read any part
except my own.
:54:33
Steve, it's just not right for me.
:54:35
It's cute and all that,
but I have to think about my following.
:54:39
- Your what?
- My fans!
:54:42
If I show up in a picture
where I not only don't swim...
:54:45
but I don't even do one musical number,
they're gonna clobber me.
:54:48
I don't want to turn it into a musical,
it's too expensive.
:54:51
Steve, it'll be worth every penny.
:54:55
We'll just use that stuff
in the French court...
:54:58
and I'll play Josephine.
:54:59
- It's a natural.
- Hold everything.
:55:02
And I got a great title:
:55:05
Not Tonight.
:55:07
I'll give it some thought.
I wonder if we can use Boroff's music?
:55:11
- No, he's too square.
- Don't be silly.
:55:13
Think of the prestige of having
Peter Boroff write music for your picture.
:55:17
- You know what prestige means.
- Pictures that don't make money.
:55:20
- This'll make money.
- Steve, he's so longhair.
:55:24
Peggy, Tchaikovsky wrote an overture
for Romeo and Juliet.
:55:28
And you know what it turned into?
Our Love Is Like A Melody.
:55:31
Say, that was a great song.
:55:34
You think we could get him?
:55:36
He's not available.
:55:37
Another Russian composer,
Borodin, get this:
:55:43
Sure, but those boys
had great tunes to work on.
:55:46
With your quick musical ear,
I'm sure if you listen to...
:55:49
Ode to a Tractor,
you'll discover a wonderful theme in it.
:55:52
Even better than Tchaikovsky.
:55:55
With the right words and you singing it,
we can't miss.
:55:57
Of course, there is one catch.
:55:59
Boroff may not want his music
made into a popular song.
