Yeah, I remember Emmet and Hattie
back East at that time.

:46:05
In fact, he had a good manager,
this cat named Sid Bishop.

:46:08
Sid was really good to him,
and he got him a lot of gigs.

:46:11
Emmet was doing really well,
and that really wasn't easy.

:46:13
Back then, a lot of musicians
were hurting from the Depression...

:46:16
and there wasn't
a lot of work to go around.

:46:19
But Emmet even agreed
at that time...

:46:21
to do a couple of sides
for the Victor label.

:46:24
He did "Melancholy Baby,"
"Exactly Like You"...

:46:27
and "I'll See You In My Dreams."
:47:19
- What do you mean, I'm broke?
- You give it away.

:47:22
You drink it up.
You pick up checks.

:47:24
You lose it in poolrooms, and
you're always buyin' Hattie presents.

:47:27
She's like a kid. She loves
tearin' the paper off the box.

:47:30
You gotta go on a budget.
:47:32
I'll go on a budget
if someone will straighten me out.

:47:34
A budget's not easy
for a guy like you.

:47:36
- When I set my mind to somethin'...
- You fight every good idea I have.

:47:39
I'll go on a budget.
I'll be good.

:47:41
What do you spend on clothes a year?
Do you have any idea?

:47:44
Want me to look like a bum?
:47:45
- What about rent?
- I don't know. It's all hotels.

:47:48
- Any idea what you spend on food?
- The booze gratis?

:47:51
Help yourself. Do you have any idea
what you spend on food or entertainment?

:47:55
Do you have any investments,
anything that'll throw off revenue?

:47:58
I got some savings,
mostly from Hattie takin' in laundry.
