:43:00
Give me an idea. Give me a suggestion.
I'll work with you. I love your work.
:43:06
- But what can I do?
- Let's kick it around.
:43:09
All right. Think about it.
:43:11
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
:43:15
Wait a minute.
:43:19
You do something for me,
Miss Holiday...
:43:22
and I'll do something for you.
I'll get you back in New York.
:43:26
You take a month, no, two months
on the road.
:43:30
I'll book you into top spots.
Be sure of that.
:43:33
You bring me back reviews
that are raves.
:43:36
And you'll kill them.
I know you'll kill them.
:43:38
- I don't wanna work on any bus tours.
- No, wait a minute.
:43:40
- Let him finish what he's saying...
- You knock them dead...
:43:42
you sing your heart out,
you bring me back that publicity...
:43:48
I'll make those license commissioners
take notice. You know how?
:43:52
I'll get you Carnegie Hall.
:43:57
No, wait. Wait a minute.
:43:59

I know you don't sing opera.
:44:03
I know you don't sing
with the hands held over here.
:44:05
I know your style,
but that's the very point.
:44:09
- I am a jazz singer. And...
- Now you got it.
:44:14
Did you ever hear
of any agent in the world...
:44:17
booking a jazz singer
into Carnegie Hall?
:44:21
I'll have the newspaper guys,
the magazine fellows...
:44:24
the radio, the newsreel.
:44:27
And, Billie...
:44:29
when that curtain goes down
on your opening night...
:44:32
you're gonna hear a noise
that'll shake that frigging place.
:44:37
Then show me
the license commissioner...
:44:39
with the courage, who would dare
not to give you back your license.
:44:43
That audience will tear him into bits.
:44:46
- Billie, you're gonna do it?
- What do you think?
:44:49
You couldn't do that for me, could you?
:44:52
- You've made a deal.
- I'd have to take my manager.
:44:54
I just have two people
that I have to take.
:44:56
I have to take my piano player, and...
