:25:01
are as noble as those of any king.
:25:03
The stuff of life...
:25:05
Why shouldn't it be
the stuff of theater?
:25:07
Why should that be
such a hard pill to swallow?
:25:10
Don't call it new theater, Charlie.
:25:13
Call it real theater.
:25:14
Call it our theater!
:25:16
I can see you feel
pretty strongly about it.
:25:19
I don't mean to get up
on my high horse,
:25:22
but why shouldn't we
look at ourselves up there?
:25:25
Who cares about
the fifth Earl of Bastrop
:25:27
and Lady Higginbottom
:25:29
and...
:25:30
and who killed Nigel Grinch-Gibbons?
:25:33
My butt's getting sore already.
:25:35
Exactly.
You understand what I'm saying
:25:37
a lot more than some
of these literary types
:25:40
because you're a real man.
:25:41
I could tell you some stories...
:25:44
Sure, you could,
:25:45
yet many writers insulate themselves
from the common man,
:25:48
from where they live,
:25:50
from where they trade
and fight and love
:25:52
and converse and...
:25:54
and...
:25:57
So, naturally, their work suffers
:25:58
and regresses into
empty formalism and...
:26:01
Well, I'm spouting off again,
:26:03
but to put it in your language...
:26:05
the theater becomes
as phony as a $3 bill.
:26:08
That's a tragedy right there.
:26:10
You're all right, Charlie.
:26:13
I'm glad you stopped by.
:26:16
I know sometimes I run on.
:26:18
Well, Christ, if there's
any way I can contribute
:26:21
or help or whatever...
:26:22
You can help by just being yourself.
:26:24
Well, I can tell you some stories.
:26:27
Now, look...
:26:28
I'm sorry about
the interruption.
:26:30
Too much revelry late at night,
:26:33
you forget there's other people
in the world.
