I could have been played
by Fredric March or Leslie Howard.

1:07:04
You're wrong. The part's too insignificant
to attract a major star.

1:07:08
- Insignificant?
- Like hell! What are you talking about?

1:07:12
- What do you mean?
- I am not a minor character.

1:07:14
I haven't been able to think of anything
since we met. I have to have some time...

1:07:19
..to show you what real life can be like
if two people really care for each other.

1:07:24
Last week I was unloved.
Now two people love me...

1:07:28
..and it's the same two people.
1:07:30
- Go with the real guy. We're limited.
- Go with Tom. He's got no flaws.

1:07:34
Go with somebody,
child, cos it gettin' bored.

1:07:37
She'll marry me.
You're wasting your time.

1:07:39
Will you get back on the screen? I'm
trying to tell Cecilia I'm in love with her.

1:07:43
I love you. I'm honest, dependable,
courageous, romantic and a great kisser.

1:07:49
- And I'm real.
- Let's go, Cecilia.

1:07:52
Choose one of them,
so we can settle this thing.

1:07:54
The most human of attributes
is your ability to choose.

1:07:57
Wait a minute. If she chooses Tom,
how are we gonna end the story?

1:08:01
- We'll be stuck here for ever.
- Father Donnelly can marry us right here.

1:08:05
That won't stand up.
The priest has to be human.

1:08:07
The Bible never says
a priest can't be on film.

1:08:10
- No, I'm already married.
- Come away with me to Hollywood.

1:08:14
- Just like that?
- Just like that.

1:08:16
Do something impulsive
for once in your life.

1:08:19
Just throw your stuff in a valise
and come away with me. Really.

1:08:23
- And don't forget that ukulele.
- What ukulele?

1:08:26
Look, I love you. I know
that only happens in movies, but I do.

1:08:36
Tom...
1:08:39
- Cecilia, you're throwing away perfection.
- Don't tell her that. We need Tom back.

1:08:43
- It's so romantic.
- Oh, women.

1:08:49
Well, I'm... I'm crushed. I'm devastated.
1:08:54
Tom, try to understand,.
1:08:57
You'll be fine. In your world, things
have a way of always working out right.
