:18:01
Thank you. Only so far,
you're the only one
in New York who does.

:18:05
But someday I'm going to
make them all feel that way.

:18:08
Aren't you a little late
getting started?
I mean, it's...

:18:13
Yes, five years late.
That's why every day counts.

:18:17
Why the five-year lapse?
My husband was
in the theater too.

:18:21
A director.
A good director.

:18:25
Everything I know
I owe to him.

:18:27
It was a small town,
a little theater,
but professional.

:18:31
When he died,
I had to make a living
doing something else.

:18:35
I never really wanted
anything but the stage.

:18:38
Oh, except Susie.
:18:40
So, it took me five years
to save enough money
to come to New York.

:18:43
But you did it.
Mm-hmm.

:18:45
And I'm going to be an
actress, an important one...
Lora?

:18:48
Lora.
Oh, excuse me.

:18:50
Nothing in it for me,
honey,

:18:53
but they're
beginning to cast a new
Tennessee Williams play.

:18:56
Oh, what agent?
Allen Loomis... today.

:18:59
So put on
your roller skates.
Oh, thanks, Fay.

:19:03
Coffee?
I'm sorry,
but I've got to go.

:19:05
You haven't eaten.
You go ahead.
Good-bye.

:19:06
How about dinner?
Tonight?
We'll take Susie.

:19:08
Fine.
Where?

:19:10
Come and have
dinner with us.
All right.

:19:12
Good luck.
Thanks, Fay.

:19:22
But when can I have
an appointment?

:19:26
How about a week
from today? Thursday.

:19:30
Put me down.
It's Iris Dawn.
Don't forget it.

:19:35
Tsk.
:19:37
I'm sorry to add
to your troubles, but...

:19:39
I'm afraid I'm a little late
for my appointment.

:19:41
Name, please.
Miss Meredith.

:19:45
Mered...
Meredith.

:19:47
Well, I don't seem
to have you down.

:19:49
Never mind.
Just tell Mr. Loomis
that Robert Hayes sent me.

:19:52
Robert Hayes?
From International
Studio.

:19:55
It's probably just a slipup
from the coast, but, uh,

:19:59
Mr. Hayes won't
like it at all.
