: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.
:39:11
You know the drill.
:39:14
My job is to plumb the depths,
:39:17
so to speak.
:39:18
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.
:39:38
This must be boring you.
:39:39
Not at all.
It's damned interesting.
:39:42
Yeah.
:39:43
Probably sounds a little grand
:39:44
for someone who's writing
a wrestling picture
:39:47
for Wallace Beery.
:39:48
Beery?
You got no beef there.
:39:50
He's a hell of an actor,
:39:52
though you can't beatJack Oakie.
:39:54
A stitch, Oakie.
:39:55
Funny stuff, funny stuff.
:39:57
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.
:40:08
I'm not interested in the act.
:40:10
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,
:40:18
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.
:40:35
Come on.
:40:36
Come on.
:40:39
Yeah. There you go.
:40:40
Right there.
:40:43
All right.
:40:45
Now, when I say, "Ready, wrestle,"
:40:47
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.
:40:55
Damn. There I go again.
:40:57
Going to wake up
the downstairs neighbors.
:40:59
I didn't hurt you, did I?
