:48:02
I said "Figo, I'm not
selling ya a dozen eggs."
:48:05
"I'm selling ya Herbie Temple,
so don't gimme any of your lip."
:48:11
- Hi, Al.
- Since when did you two get acquainted?
:48:14
- How do you do, Mr Temple?
- D-d-delighted.
:48:16
- I'm Sidney Falco.
- Oh, d-d-d I'm glad to know you.
:48:19
Watch out for this guy.
He's a press agent.
:48:22
You watch out for him, Al. I stutter.
:48:25
- I caught your act the other night...
- On the first or the second bounce?
:48:29
- I thought you were great.
- Well, that's fine.
:48:32
What time is it, Al?
:48:34
You got ten minutes yet.
:48:36
I hate to bother you, but we're kinda busy.
:48:39
It's all right. A little busy myself.
:48:41
I'm busy, too. Don't call us, we'll call you.
:48:44
May I ask an impertinent question,
with no criticism intended?
:48:50
but how can you let a sock act like Herbie
tiptoe along without a publicity build?
:48:54
We're not buyin' it, Falco.
No fish today.
:48:57
I'm not selling any. I'm just curious.
:48:59
Answer his question fast
before he asks you five more.
:49:02
Mr Temple don't believe in press agents.
Does that answer ya something?
:49:06
Take your hands off me, lump.
:49:08
Look, nobody believes
in a press agent, Temple,
:49:11
if he makes claims he can't produce.
:49:14
I'm not here to sell anything
and I'm not gonna peddle anything.
:49:18
But when I tell a client I can
get him space in Hunsecker's column,
:49:23
it's not talk.
:49:26
Excuse me.
:49:28
- Listen, you bull artist, if you think...
- Let him alone, Al.
:49:34
:49:35
- Hello, Sidney...
- Hello, Mary. Could I talk to JJ?
:49:39
Now, look. Nobody hired you.
We didn't talk any deal.
:49:43
Relax, lump. I told you,
I wasn't peddling any fish today.
:49:47
JJ, hi. Sidney Falco.
How are you, sweetheart?
:49:51
Fine. Just fine, thanks.
:49:53
Look, I know it's late, but is it too late
to add something to your column?
