:39:00
Her hubby was out of town,
:39:02
and they were carrying
fire and life.
:39:04
The third quarter payment
was way past due.
:39:06
In a way, I envy you...
:39:08
your daily routine,
you know what's expected.
:39:10
You know the drill.
:39:14
My job is to plumb the depths,
:39:16
so to speak.
:39:17
Dredge up something from inside,
:39:20
something honest.
:39:22
I got to tell you,
:39:23
the life of the mind...
:39:25
There's no road map
for that territory.
:39:28
And exploring it
can be painful.
:39:32
I have pain most people
don't know anything about.
:39:37
This must be boring you.
:39:39
Not at all.
It's damned interesting.
:39:41
Yeah.
:39:43
Probably sounds a little grand
:39:44
for someone who's writing
a wrestling picture
:39:46
for Wallace Beery.
:39:48
Beery?
You got no beef there.
:39:49
He's a hell of an actor,
:39:51
though you can't beatJack Oakie.
:39:53
A stitch, Oakie.
:39:55
Funny stuff, funny stuff.
:39:56
But don't get me wrong.
:39:58
Beery? Wrestling picture?
Could be a pip.
:40:00
Could be a pip.
:40:02
Wrestled myself some back in school.
:40:04
I guess you know the basic moves.
:40:06
No. I never watched any.
:40:07
I'm not interested in the act.
:40:09
Hell, you should know
what it's about.
:40:12
I can show you
the wrestling basics in 30 seconds.
:40:15
You're a little
out of your weight class,
:40:17
but just for demonstration purposes...
:40:19
That's all right.
:40:20
Not a bit of it, compadre.
:40:22
Easiest thing in the world.
:40:23
Just get on your knees
to my left here.
:40:26
Slap your right hand here,
your left hand here.
:40:29
Come on, champ.
You can do it. Come on.
:40:32
Come on.
:40:34
Come on.
:40:35
Come on.
:40:38
Yeah. There you go.
:40:40
Right there.
:40:43
All right.
:40:44
Now, when I say, "Ready, wrestle,"
:40:46
we try to pin each other.
:40:48
That's the whole game.
Got it?
:40:50
Yeah. Okay.
:40:51
Ready? Wrestle.
:40:52
Oh!
:40:53
1, 2, 3.
:40:54
Damn. There I go again.
:40:56
Going to wake up
the downstairs neighbors.
:40:58
I didn't hurt you, did I?
