:30:38
Would you care for anything else?
:30:40
Tell me...
what is that music?
:30:43
Goes straight to the heart, doesn't it?
Our house pianist composed it himself
:30:48
Really! Does the tune have a name?
:30:51
It's called "Gloomy Sunday"
:30:53
I take it you're closed on Sundays?
:30:56
No, we're never closed
:30:58
I'm Mr. Novak,
director of the Lindstroem Record Company
:31:02
We'd be honored if you and the composer
would join us later for a glass of champagne
:31:08
With pleasure
:31:09
The fact remains: The composer and
the composition are unknown
:31:14
We'll have to give the radio directors
something so the record gets played
:31:18
That could be interpreted as bribery
:31:20
It's only bribery if it's not enough
One could slip something
:31:23
to someone at the radio station
:31:26
But it would have to be deducted
from the composer's royalties
:31:32
Half of it
:31:34
Pardon?
:31:36
Half from him
:31:37
It's an investment, and investments
should be split honestly
:31:41
Fair enough, that's do-able
Royalties are 6%% %
:31:47
I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear you
You said... 12%% %?
:31:51
Twelve percent!?
:31:53
Franz Lehar earns that much!
:31:56
But with an operetta, you have to
pay singers, and the orchestra
