1:39:01
What else can we do?
1:39:03
I'll probably wind up as
a public relations man for some

1:39:06
up-and-coming rock 'n' roll singer.
1:39:09
And I'll write jokes
for a hillbilly television show.

1:39:13
And I'll produce for somebody,
1:39:17
and Ellen will write letters
for some other somebody.

1:39:22
All seems like such a terrible waste.
1:39:25
I don't know.
1:39:27
I've been watching
this little scene here,

1:39:30
and I can't help myself.
1:39:32
To me, it has all the makings
of a real melodrama.

1:39:35
A great man passes on,
leaves behind him his expert staff.

1:39:40
What's going to happen?
1:39:42
Are they going to split up?
1:39:44
Each one goes his own little ways,
1:39:46
looks for a new subject
for his respective talent,

1:39:50
or are they going to stick together
and work and fight as a unit?

1:39:56
Tune in next week.
1:39:58
You know, you sound like a man
with very good questions

1:40:01
but never any answers.
1:40:04
Morgan, it's next week. I'm tuned in.
1:40:08
- On with the show.
- Give me a light.

1:40:11
Maybe I can help you
with another question.

1:40:16
Suppose when you first met Wally,
1:40:18
you would have died in a plane crash.
Then what would have happened?

1:40:21
I suppose he would have gotten
another writer

1:40:24
and taught him all his tricks.
1:40:27
Very good.
1:40:29
What about Ellen?
1:40:31
Well, the same thing, I guess.
1:40:33
You get a gold star.
1:40:36
It's true.
1:40:38
Wally taught me his style
of handling people

1:40:40
until I could do it
as well as he could.

1:40:42
I guess he could have taught anyone
the same thing.

1:40:45
You see?
I don't have to go any further.

1:40:48
This is the position we are in,
each one of us, including me,

1:40:52
except that Wally's gone
and we are here.

1:40:54
What's the answer?
1:40:59
You mean get somebody in his place?
