Well, I heard stories
that he was a kleptomaniac.

:10:24
I heard that once he stole
an alarm clock from Hoagy Carmichael...

:10:28
and Hoagy overslept
and he missed a record date.

:10:31
What do you think?
:10:32
The only other story that I heard,
other than Hattie, was this moon idea.

:10:37
He had this idea
about this crescent moon.

:10:40
That he wanted to make an entrance
on this big crescent moon.

:10:43
Well, the story is that
it came to him, apparently...

:10:46
I guess, in a dream...
:10:49
that he'd build this moon thing
with his own money.

:10:51
Because he thought that
a star of his great stature...

:10:54
ought to be able to make
a real big entrance with a moon.

:10:58
Just try to visualize it.
:10:59
Just try to visualize it.
:11:00
You're lookin' up, and there it is.
Gold, beautiful moon.

:11:03
I'm comin' down, and you guys
are playin'. What do you think?

:11:06
It's a stupid idea. I told you.
Would you let me take this shot?

:11:09
I didn't ask your opinion.
I'm just tellin' you how it's gonna go.

:11:22
And then the jacket
would match the moon...

:11:25
against a black
velvet background.

:11:28
- What do you think?
- It sounds okay to me.

:11:32
- Yeah.
- It's fancy.

:11:35
I'm considered
the best guitar player...

:11:38
maybe that ever lived.
:11:41
Certainly in this country.
There's this...

:11:44
There's a gypsy in France...
:11:46
and he's the most
beautiful thing I ever heard.

:11:51
Tonight's the night.
:11:53
Emmet, just as long as you're happy.
That's the most important thing.

:11:57
It's really beautiful.
:11:58
It is really beautiful.
It's like jewelry.
