Very nice, Charlie. Very nice.
1:02:38
He's clean.
1:02:39
The dope in L.A. Dried up
so he had to kick.
1:02:42
That nearly killed him,
so he stayed drunk.
1:02:44
That's how he got sent to Camarillo
where he hasn't had a drink...
1:02:48
...snorted or shot for six months.
He's clean and ready to work.
1:02:51
- According to him.
- No.
1:02:53
According to his record
producer in L.A.
1:02:59
See, what he needs
is a gig out of the state.
1:03:03
- No.
- For God's sake, Sammy!
1:03:05
You hire one Charlie Parker
imitation after another.
1:03:08
I'm telling you,
the real thing's available!
1:03:11
The real thing's
a real pain in my ass.
1:03:13
Listen. Let's play a game.
1:03:15
I'll count to 100 slowly.
1:03:18
By the time I'm done,
name me one other musician...
1:03:21
...who can pack this club
who isn't a pain.
1:03:23
Let alone, I mean, my God...
1:03:25
...we're talking about Charlie Parker.
1:03:31
I'll pay $ 700 a week.
1:03:33
Wait a minute, wait, wait.
1:03:35
That's for him, a second horn
and a rhythm section.
1:03:38
If he handles it right,
he'll clear a couple hundred.
1:03:40
Three-week guarantee.
1:03:43
You're wonderful.
1:03:59
I thought the fountain of youth
was in Florida.
