:17:00
I still can't get over the fact that
24 hours ago I was in an Egyptian tomb.

:17:04
I didn't know any
of you wonderful people...

:17:08
And here I am now. I'm on the verge
of a madcap... Manhattan... weekend.

:17:14
My God, you must really love this picture.
:17:17
- Me?
- You've been here all day.

:17:19
- And I've seen you here twice before.
- You mean me?

:17:22
Yes, you. This is
the fifth time you're seeing this.

:17:26
Henry, come here, quickly.
:17:28
- I gotta speak to you.
:17:33
- Old sport, you're on the wrong side.
- Tom, we're in the middle of a story.

:17:36
I want to have a look around.
You go on without me.

:17:40
- Who are you?
- Cecilia.

:17:42
I'll get the manager.
:17:43
- Let's go somewhere where we can talk.
- But you're in the movie.

:17:47
Wrong. I'm free. After 2,000 performances
of the same monotonous routine, I'm free.

:17:52
- Call Father Donnelly.
- Tom!

:17:56
I don't understand.
What's going on? Who are you?

:17:59
Who am I?
You've seen the movie five times.

:18:01
I'm Tom Baxter, poet, adventurer,
of the Chicago Baxters.

:18:04
I know you're Tom Baxter.
You wind up with Kitty Haynes. But...

:18:07
- Not any more.
- What do you mean?

:18:10
- I'm out before the wedding. I'm free.
- Don't you have to marry her?

:18:13
- Not if I'm here and she's there.
- Don't you want to? She's beautiful.

:18:16
- She's not for me. She's too bony.
- Kitty Haynes, the singer, is bony?

:18:20
I need a place to hide. Look, I'm never
going back, now that I've met you.

:18:25
A place to hide? A place to hide?
:18:28
- What's happening? What's going on?
- Tom's left. He just walked right out.

:18:32
I don't know how he did it. I can't get out.
:18:34
It's disgusting. I am an heiress.
I don't have to put up with this.

:18:37
He left the picture?
Oh, my gosh. Well, don't panic.

:18:41
Just stay up there and keep calm.
:18:43
- Calm? Are you crazy?
- Did you call for a priest?

:18:45
- Thank God you're here.
- Wait a minute. This is the second reel.

:18:49
- I'm not on till later.
- Can't you go on? There's an audience.

:18:52
Tom was the linchpin of the story.
- Although this is basically my story...

:18:57
- What do you mean, your story?
- Tom lays out the facts.

:18:59
- It's about a man's quest for fulfilment.
- It's about a complex, tortured soul.
