:12:01
I will answer truthfully
any question that you put to me,
:12:05
and in return, for each answer
you will remove an article of clothing.
:12:13
I thi...
:12:15
Thas funny, Mr. Whale.
:12:17
Yes, it is, isn't it?
:12:19
My life
as a game of strip poker.
:12:22
Shall we play?
:12:24
So the rumors are true then.
:12:26
Oh?
What rumors would those be?
:12:29
That you were forced
to retire...
:12:31
because of,
:12:33
um, a sex scandal.
:12:36
A homosexual scandal,
you mean.
:12:39
For me to answer
a question of that magnitude,
:12:42
you'll have to remove
both your shoes and socks.
:12:44
You're a dirty old man.
:12:47
Oh.
:12:53
Oh, it is kind of you
to indulge your elders in their vices,
:12:59
just as I indulge the young
in theirs.
:13:15
No, there was no scandal.
:13:18
My only other vice.
:13:22
I expect you'd like
a fuller answer to that question.
:13:26
Ill cost you your jacket.
:13:30
Too warm
for a jacket anyway.
:13:36
You must understand
how Hollywood was 20 years ago.
:13:39
If you were a star nobody cared
a tinker's cuss who you slept with,
:13:43
so long as you kept it
out of the papers.
:13:46
As for us directors, well,
outside Hollywood who even knows
who George Cukor is,
:13:52
much less what he gets up to
with those boys from the malt shops?
:13:57
George Cukor?
Who made A Star is Born?
