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?
1:41:01
That's right.
1:41:03
You mean get some nobody
and then...
1:41:05
- Correct.
- Teach him everything we know?
1:41:07
- Correct.
- No.
1:41:09
Not what we know.
1:41:11
Teach him everything we've learned.
1:41:13
After all, wasn't it Wally who taught
Chic, Ellen, Harry, myself,
1:41:19
most of what we know
about this business?
1:41:21
Yes. And even you, Morgan.
1:41:23
Although you directed successfully
on Broadway,
1:41:25
Wally taught you
the motion-picture business.
1:41:29
Of course!
1:41:33
Teach somebody.
Why, it's the only thing we can do.
1:41:38
But who?
1:41:41
Wait a minute, Caryl.
1:41:43
Let's have an understanding as to...
1:41:47
...why we're going to do this.
1:41:49
If it's at all feasible.
1:41:52
Are we going to do this
because we're spoiled...
1:41:57
...and used to a comfortable,
well-oiled machine?
