:32:02
When you straighten up
and walk like a jazz musician.

:32:08
You want a bite of this?
It's my third one.

:32:11
I got gum.
Maybe that's the secret.

:32:13
To play like Bird, eat like Bird.
All those 2 and 4 bar breaks.

:32:16
What you mean is, I eat
an awful lot for a junkie, don't I?

:32:21
Don't tell me what I mean, man.
:32:24
Sorry, man.
:32:26
So how you come to know
so much about music?

:32:29
Will you talk to me?
:32:32
Heritage.
:32:34
My father produced nightclub shows.
:32:36
Broadway Ben, they called him.
:32:38
I had my sweet 16 party
at the Cotton Club.

:32:41
It's always been musicians.
:32:50
You weren't seeing about
any record date tonight.

:32:54
No. And you knew I wasn't in Philly.
Everyone knows I lost that gig.

:33:00
- That's right.
- That's right.

:33:02
So?
:33:03
So?
:33:04
So why are we conning each other?
:33:09
Everyone assumes we're an item
because I show up wherever you play.

:33:13
You do?
:33:15
I don't always say hello. And you
don't usually leave alone either.

:33:21
And while we're on the subject...
:33:23
...how many wives do you have?
:33:27
I have met more women
who claim to be...

:33:30
...Mrs Charlie Parker!
:33:32
And all of them wearing rings!
:33:39
Rings are cheap.
:33:41
Rings are cheap?
:33:43
Is that what you want to say?
Is that all you want to say?

:33:47
- What size ring you wear?
- Oh, no. Not me.

:33:56
Tell me more about Broadway Ben.
:33:58
He had a way about him.
The year I was born...
