1:22:04
Sir, l have come to appeal to you.
1:22:07
That ballet-- the one
that you're doing on TV tomorrow night--
1:22:10
Da, for Mr. Ed Sullivan.
1:22:12
Yeah. That's the one.
Could you just cut that four minutes?
1:22:16
Well, it's beautiful. l love it,
but my life depends on it.
1:22:21
Desecrate this classic?
1:22:24
l need the time
for Conrad Birdie to sing my song.
1:22:28
Who sent you here?
Senator Goldwater?
1:22:31
Will you cut three minutes?
1:22:35
Two minutes?
1:22:37
A minute and a halt.
1:22:38
To cut even ten seconds
would be artistic sabotage.
1:22:43
This ballet
has historic significance.
1:22:45
lt was performed the same day
as the tuneral of the czar.
1:22:49
Lenin himself made the arrangement.
1:22:52
- Lenin arranged music?
- No! Funerals!
1:23:01
- Hello, Rose.
- Oh, hi, Kim. You still up?
1:23:06
Oh, l'm so miserable, Rose.
1:23:09
l've lost Hugo, and now l'm not even
going to be on TV.
1:23:13
Why not?
1:23:15
The ballet's taking tour extra minutes,
so Birdie's song and the kiss are out.
1:23:20
Oh, serves Albert right.
1:23:23
Oh, now come on. Relax.
1:23:25
Faithless men like Albert and Hugo--
1:23:27
they're all alike--
trom puberty to stupidity...
1:23:30
from Benedict Arnold to Mussolini.
1:23:33
Men. We laugh at them, right?
1:23:37
lt's easy tor you to pick up
the pieces ot your shattered dream.
1:23:42
You've tound a compensation.
1:23:45
Ah, that Claude Paisley
is just too much.
1:23:51
He's too much, all right.
But l won't mention of what.
1:23:55
All that charm-- so genteel...
1:23:58
so educated, so underhanded!
