:20:04
Come in, Jonathon. It's open.
- Hi, Brad.
:20:07
Got any more songs ready.
- Almost.
:20:11
Fine. Let's hear them.
:20:13
Not now. I'm in a hurry.
:20:15
I'm putting up
200,000 dollars for this show.
:20:19
We've got a theater deadline.
- You're hobbing me. - Oh, am I?
:20:25
I don't know. Money seems to have lost
its value these days.
:20:29
With 200,000 dollars, my grandfather
cornered the wheat market.
:20:34
Today, you can't scare songwriters
with it. - That's inflation for you.
:20:38
Pour yourself a scotch.
:20:40
Thanks.
:20:42
You're prejudiced against me
because I'm part of a minority group.
:20:46
What minority group?
:20:48
Millionaires. You outnumber us,
but you'll never get us.
:20:52
We'll fight for our rights.
And we've got the money to do it.
:20:56
You sound absolutely bitter.
:20:59
You don't know
what this show means to me.
:21:01
We went through college together.
You worked your way through.
:21:05
You're an important songwriter now.
You've had some Broadway hits.
:21:08
You started out with nothing
and you've made it far.
:21:12
I started out with 8 million dollars,
and I've still got 8 million dollars.
:21:17
I just can't seem to get ahead.
:21:20
Who's the girl?
- What girl?
:21:24
Come on, you can't kid me.
:21:26
I've been through 3 marriages
with you. You're like a fighter.
:21:30
Only ambitious on the way to the ring.
:21:32
Well, there's a girl.
:21:37
Brad,
she's the sweetest, the loveliest,
:21:41
the most talented person I've met.
- Like the stripper.
:21:45
She was an exotic dancer.
:21:47
With trained doves.
:21:49
When's the happy occasion?
:21:53
Well, I don't know for sure.
:21:56
She claims to not want to marry me.
:21:59
Note, that's
what all my wives said at first.
