:52:00
How you rated.
:52:01
You wanted to know
if you passed the course. Right?

:52:03
If you say so,
I didn't realize you were giving lessons.

:52:06
- Ordinarily, I don't handle beginners.
- No, I imagine a pro like you wouldn't.

:52:10
I know what your next question
would have been, too.

:52:12
'Cause it's the same dumb question
that every trick asks.

:52:15
Your next question would've been:
"Did you really like that?

:52:19
"Did you actually get a thrill, and all that,
after the times you've done it?

:52:23
"A piece of wood like you
really couldn't enjoy...

:52:27
"...doing it with a honest, clean-living,
upright, hotshot citizen like me."

:52:30
Right?
:52:33
Why don't I know better?
How come I never learn.

:52:36
I'm not going to be treated like a thing.
I am a real person.

:52:39
I am a person named Doris Wilgus.
:52:42
Wilgus?
:52:45
You can take your beady eyes
off me while I tell you something.

:52:49
Last night I thought
something real nice was happening.

:52:52
I mean, you really seemed to be
a nice guy and all.

:52:55
I'll tell you, I fall in love all the time.
All the time, you hear?

:52:58
So, it's no big deal.
But you were very nice there for a while.

:53:02
You said some real swell things.
:53:04
I guess it goes to prove
that you're a better actor than I am.

:53:07
I mean actress.
:53:08
You know more about that than I would...
:53:10
...since most of your acting
has been done in bed.

:53:12
After all, someone's gotta look like
they know what they're doin'.

:53:15
Sorry I didn't measure up
to your high standards.

:53:18
- Do I get graded on a scale of ten?
- Sure, if you accept fractions.

:53:21
You know what you need?
:53:23
You need the services
of a competent psychiatrist...

:53:25
...who might, if he has unlimited time...
:53:28
...be able to assemble the pieces
of your jumbled mind.

:53:30
Bullshit!
:53:31
A technical term you picked up
in the theatrical profession.

:53:34
Listen, Mr. Know-it-all...
:53:35
...from-reading-a-Iot-of-books,
I did my time on the couch.

:53:38
- Lf a bed isn't handy.
- Very funny!

:53:41
Anyway, that shrink was like you,
all talk and no action.

:53:44
And you know what he said?
:53:46
Doris, do what you want,
as long as it doesn't make you unhappy".

:53:49
So, I did.
:53:50
I didn't pay my bill.
:53:51
Didn't make me unhappy,
but it sure made him mad as hell.

:53:54
Why didn't you let him take it out in trade?
