:16:00
You'd open the door and he'd be standing
there, simply loaded with presents.

:16:05
Before you could say anything,
he'd say "Sh",

:16:09
because he wants
to surprise your mother.

:16:12
But first he'd give you a big hug
just as tight as he could.

:16:16
Then Mom would come to see who it was.
:16:18
She'd been wondering why
she didn't hear anybody say anything.

:16:21
For a long time they'd just stand there and
stare at each other, not saying anything.

:16:26
They wouldn't have to.
:16:29
And then he'd take her in his arms
and rain kisses on her upturned face.

:16:36
And they'd just love each other to death
right there in the front door.

:16:41
Do you really think...
:16:43
- Who'd like some clam chowder?
- Clam chowder!

:16:46
Wash your hands first.
:16:52
Then two small bladders
came out of their mouths.

:16:55
- If you'd been at rehearsals...
- Just as she was beginning to hum.

:16:58
Henry, you've got to remember
you're not Van Cliburn.

:17:02
If Van Cliburn misses a rehearsal,
nobody says "Throw the bum out. "

:17:08
Not too much off the back.
I tried to phone them.

:17:10
But I feel I would be remiss
in my obligation to you as your manager

:17:14
if I didn't inform you
that they're not prepared

:17:16
to take this understanding
attitude toward a...

:17:21
well, let us say a non-Van Cliburn.
:17:25
- What is it, Sidney? It's unnatural, isn't it?
- You're in a little slump, that's all.

:17:30
Now look at me. Can you see
any difference? Be honest with me.

:17:34
On my mother's grave,
you don't look a day older

:17:37
than when we played
stickball in Brooklyn.

:17:39
I will give somebody 1,000 dinars
who can find one grey hair in my head.

:17:44
Henry, don't you understand
what I'm telling you? You're in trouble.

:17:48
If I keep on telling them you're at the
dentist, they'll wanna count your teeth.

:17:57
Very funny.
