:33:00
I just didn't
feel like doing the act anymore.
:33:02
- Forty-seven years is enough, isn't it?
- Certainly.
:33:05
- What?
- Certainly.
:33:07
Eleven thousand times, the same jokes.
:33:11
- Was I wrong for doing what I did?
- Absolutely not.
:33:13
- What?
- Absolutely not.
:33:15
So why does he
say such things about me?
:33:17
I don't hate him.
:33:18
- I'm glad to hear that.
- I can't stand him, but I don't hate him.
:33:21
He doesn't hate you either.
:33:22
I guess he was just upset
about breaking up the team...
:33:25
after all those wonderful years.
That's understandable, isn't it?
:33:28
No.
:33:30
Anyway, I'm sure once you two
see each other again...
:33:32
What did you say? $5,000 apiece?
I don't pay commission, you know.
:33:36
- Yes.
- My agent died.
:33:38
- You told me.
- And they weren't such wonderful years.
:33:41
Someday I'll tell you.
:33:42
- I'd love to hear about how you and Uncle...
- Sure, I remember.
:33:46
It was backstage, maybe 15, 20 years ago.
I forget the theater.
:33:59
Why didn't you leave a message?
:34:00
I looked everywhere.
You purposely went out...
:34:02
so we wouldn't have to talk.
:34:03
I'll be at the club, playing cards.
:34:05
No kidding.
Can I speak to you for a minute?
:34:07
Where's your manners?
Don't you say hello?
:34:09
This is Arthur Marx, a great young singer...
:34:12
and this is Benny Friedman,
a terrific new comic.
:34:15
How do you do?
:34:16
- Now can we talk?
- Did you pick up a three of hearts?
:34:19
He'll do it. He's agreed to it all...
:34:20
the money, dates, the doctor sketch.
:34:22
He agreed to come from New Jersey
to rehearse in your hotel...
:34:25
and he was as sweet as he can be.
:34:27
Now, he's waiting for me to tell him
what time to come in...
:34:30
and then I have to call ABC
and tell them we have a deal, okay?
:34:34
- Uncle Willy, are you listening to me?
- I knock with five.
:34:37
ABC is waiting!
:34:39
What's their rush?
Are they going out of business?
:34:41
I'm calling and telling Al Lewis we have...
:34:43
Wait a minute, I don't trust him!
:34:45
He'll rehearse with me all week...
:34:46
and then he'll walk out
just before the show.
:34:48
That's what he did the last time,
the bastard.
:34:50
- He won't walk out.
- On the Ed Sullivan Show...
:34:52
he walked out on me.
Retires right in the middle of my career.
:34:55
A man can retire whenever he wants to.
:34:57
Yes, but I wasn't ready yet!
Anyway, he's sick now.
