Let's see if he's got
the nerve to come down.

:53:02
- Harry, let's go.
- Emmet, we're on!

:53:05
We should do it anyway.
:53:08
Emmet, come on down.
I'll wait for you.

:53:11
I'll take you to the front table myself.
I'll introduce you to Django.

:53:15
Now, as the story goes...
:53:17
Emmet, as you know, was pathologically
phobic about Django Reinhardt...

:53:20
so he tried to escape
through the roof.

:53:23
He just figured,
to hell with the job that night.

:53:25
But remember, this was a guy
who had fainted twice...

:53:29
when he came face-to-face
with Django Reinhardt in Europe.

:53:32
He's looking for a way out, and decides
to jump to the building next door.

:53:36
Well, as fate would have it,
he hits a weak spot in the roof...

:53:40
and crashes through
into somebody's apartment.

:53:43
As it happened, the apartment was
being used by some counterfeiters...

:53:47
who thought it was a raid when
he came through the roof, and ran out.

:54:57
Well, Eddie Durham,
the great jazz pioneer...

:54:59
met Emmet in Chicago in the 1930's.
