- A what?
- An anteater, not a lion.

1:15:07
You see a lion,
is a huge savage beast...

1:15:09
about ten-foot long,
five-foot high...

1:15:12
with masses of sharp,
pointy teeth...

1:15:14
and nasty, long,
razor-sharp claws.

1:15:16
lt looks like this.
1:15:21
- Now. shall I caIl the circus?
- No!

1:15:24
l like your idea
of making the move...

1:15:27
to lion taming
by easy stages...

1:15:29
say by insurance
or banking.

1:15:32
- Banking?
- Yes, banking. l see it now.

1:15:35
It's a man's life, isn't it?
Travel. excitement...

1:15:37
decisions affecting people's lives,
romance. thrills.

1:15:41
l'll put you in touch
with the bank.

1:15:46
Probably.
1:15:48
l'd like a couple of days to think
about it, 'cause it is a big decision.

1:15:51
Or maybe, maybe a week,
at most, you know?

1:15:54
But l do want to make this decision.
l'd like to do banking...

1:15:58
lt's sad, isn't it...
1:16:00
that this is what
accountancy does to people?

1:16:03
The only way that we can fight this
terrible, debilitating social disease...

1:16:07
l only want to be famous.
l only want to see my name in lights.

1:16:10
And so you shalI.
1:16:21
Cue!
