:05:03
marvelous.
:05:05
And a charming gut it is.
:05:07
Oh, you dog.
:05:09
Aroo!
:05:11
Oh, stop.
:05:12
[BellJingles]
:05:17
I thought you were going to join us.
:05:20
Jesus, Garland,
you left me alone with those people?
:05:23
Don't panic.
:05:24
I'll join you in a minute.
:05:26
We have to talk a little business.
:05:29
I've just been on the phone
to Los Angeles.
:05:32
Barton, Capitol Pictures wants to
put you under contract.
:05:35
They've offered you $1,000 a week.
:05:37
I think I can get them
to go as high as 2.
:05:40
To do what?
:05:41
What do you do for a living?
:05:44
I'm not sure anymore.
:05:45
I guess I try to make a difference.
:05:49
There's no pressure here
because I respect you,
:05:52
but a brief tenure in Hollywood
:05:54
could support you through the writing
:05:56
of any number of plays.
:05:58
I don't know, Garland.
:05:59
My place is here right now.
:06:01
I feel I'm on the brink of success.
:06:04
I'd say you're already enjoying some.
:06:06
No. Don't you see?
:06:08
Not the kind of success
where critics fawn over you
:06:11
or producers like Derek
make a lot of money.
:06:14
No. A real success.
:06:15
The success we've been dreaming about...
:06:17
the creation of a new living theater
:06:20
of and about and for the common man.
:06:23
If I ran off to Hollywood now,
:06:26
I'd be making money,
:06:27
going to parties,
meeting the big shots,
:06:29
but I'd be cutting myself off
:06:31
from the wellspring of that success,
:06:33
from the common man.
:06:37
Oh, I guess I'm spouting off again.
:06:40
You see Caven's review?
:06:42
No. What did it say?
:06:44
Here, take my copy.
:06:45
You're the toast of Broadway,
:06:47
and you have an opportunity
:06:49
to redeem that for a little cash...
:06:52
Strike that.
A lot of cash.
:06:54
The common man will still be here
when you get back.
:06:59
Who knows?
