- And his ears.
- And a share!
:02:05
We will be partners,
Mr.Fennyman!
:02:07
- [ Whimpering ]
- Partners?
:02:14
[ Gasping ]
It's a crowd-tickler.
:02:17
Mistaken identities. Shipwreck.
Pirate king.
:02:20
- A bit with a dog, and love triumphant.
- I think I've seen it.
:02:23
I didn't like it.
:02:25
- But this time it is by Shakespeare.
- What's it called?
:02:29
Romeo and Ethel,
the Pirate's Daughter.
:02:32
Good title.
:02:34
- [ Sighs ]
- A play takes time.
Find the actors, rehearsals.
:02:37
Let's say we open
in two weeks.
:02:40
That's, what, 500 groundlings
at tuppence a head.
:02:42
In addition, 400 backsides at
three pence, a penny extra for cushions.
:02:46
Call it, uh,
200 cushions.
:02:48
Say two performances for safety.
How much is that, Mr.Frees?
:02:52
- Twenty pounds to the penny,
Mr.Fennyman.
- Correct.
:02:55
- But I have to pay
the actors and the author.
- Share of the profits.
:02:58
- There's never any--
- Of course not.
:03:01
Oh-- Oh, Mr.Fennyman, I think you
might have hit upon something.
:03:05
Sign there.
:03:12
So, Romeo and Ethel,
the Pirate's Daughter.
:03:15
Almost finished?
:03:17
Oh, without doubt he's completing it
at this very moment.
