:43:01
How can I
:43:03
Go on, dear
without you

:43:07
You took the part
:43:09
That once was my heart
:43:12
So why not take all of me
:43:16
The reason Emmet
hated Hollywood so much...

:43:19
was because Hattie
was discovered, not him.

:43:21
That was the truth of it.
:43:23
She was out there watching him film.
Every day she would hang out on the set.

:43:27
And one day, for, you know,
some crazy reason...

:43:31
a director, who happened to be working
the same lot Emmet was on, noticed her.

:43:36
And the director thought, "This girl
is a dead ringer for May Talmadge."

:43:40
He was making a movie with
May Talmadge, who was a big star.

:43:43
And he thought Hattie is exactly what
he wanted to play May Talmadge's sister.

:43:47
And this is
a 30- second part or something.

:43:50
When he found out that Hattie couldn't
speak, it didn't make any difference...

:43:53
because the part
had no dialogue.

:43:55
He just knew he had to have
Hattie to play that part.

:43:59
Well, Emmet hated the whole idea.
:44:17
I can't believe you said yes.
:44:19
Did you nod that dopey face of yours?
Do they know you can't speak?

:44:24
I don't get it.
You're gonna embarrass me.

:44:26
Suddenly you're a movie actress.
:44:29
Don't make me laugh.
