2:31:01
I gotta tell you about this kid.
2:31:03
No, Harry, I'll tell you.
2:31:05
He's the first real funny thing
I've seen around here in ages.
2:31:09
And he's right.
This thing is a horror.
2:31:12
Well, if you say so, Hedda.
It is a pretty funny hat.
2:31:14
You know, this kid had us
believing he was serious.
2:31:16
- I told you he was funny.
- Now, wait a minute, Harry.
2:31:19
And this goes for you too, Fergusson.
2:31:22
You've come across somebody
who hasn't yet learned to be phony.
2:31:27
He thought something and he said it,
2:31:29
which was real and honest.
2:31:31
And now, if you apply
that to his performance,
2:31:34
you've got a great success.
2:31:36
Come on, fellas, lend a hand.
2:31:38
I can't make it on my own
with this stupid umbrella hat.
2:31:46
Was I right?
Was I right?
2:31:47
Am I ever wrong? Isn't that right,
Sydney? Is the kid great?
2:31:49
Is that kid funny? Is that...?
2:31:51
You heard what she said, didn't you?
Don't take my word for it.
2:31:54
Just listen to what Hedda said.
2:31:55
Wonderful! Right.
You bet. Oh, you doll.
2:32:01
Rhonda, darling, how are you,
and how's the picture going?
2:32:04
Oh, fine, fine, thank you.
2:32:07
- How are you?
- Wonderful, wonderful.
2:32:09
Did I have a ball last night
at Cary Grant's.
2:32:11
Stanley Belt was there,
and he's too much.
2:32:15
Oh, yes. I know.
2:32:18
He seems like a very nice guy.
2:32:19
Have you seen him?
2:32:22
Have I seen him?
2:32:24
Sweetie, only his first night in town.
2:32:26
I think it was the Friars CI...
2:32:28
Yes, yes, the Friars affair.
2:32:29
Oh, he was simply hilarious.
2:32:33
Hey, Mel, have you heard
about this new kid, Stanley Belt?
2:32:36
Yeah. You know, I hear he's a gas.
2:32:38
That's a funny thing,
the other night at Chasen's,
2:32:40
everybody was wigging
about the guy.
2:32:41
They say he cuts every comic around.
2:32:44
Good morning, Mr Wynn.
2:32:45
Oh, good morning, Alec.
2:32:47
Say, Mr Wynn, have you heard
anything about this new comedian,
2:32:50
Stanley Belt?
2:32:54
That's all I've been hearing about
for the last four weeks,
2:32:56
but where can anybody see him?
2:32:58
Well, are they hiding him?
Where's he working?
