:46:03
when he was with Vincent Crummles.
:46:05
Boys, set the table at once!
:46:08
We shall adjourn to the dining room.
:46:11
My friend and I
shall try for a berth on a ship.
:46:15
Does no other profession suggest itself
to a young man of your figure and bearing?
:46:20
- I think the sea offers a great many...
- What about the stage?
:46:23
- The stage?
- The theatrical profession!
:46:26
I am in the theatrical profession myself.
My wife is in the theatrical profession.
:46:31
My children are in the theatrical profession.
:46:33
I had a dog that lived and died in it...
:46:36
and the pony that pulled us here today
is third generation.
:46:41
His mother could fire a pistol...
:46:43
and get in bed wearing a nightcap.
:46:45
But...
:46:47
there is tragedy in the family.
:46:51
- In the pony's family?
- Yes.
:46:54
The father drank.
:46:57
Ended up in the circus...
:47:00
drinking port wine with the clowns.
:47:04
Got greedy, couldn't quit...
:47:07
and choked on the bottle.
:47:12
At any rate, I'd love
to bring you and your friend out.
:47:15
He has a capital countenance!
:47:17
Why, as he is now...
:47:19
he would make such an apothecary
in Romeo and Juliet...
:47:22
that he would be certain
of three rounds of applause...
:47:25
the minute he put his face
out of the practicable door!
:47:28
- And you!
- Me?
:47:31
- You were born for the lamps!
- No, sir, I think...
:47:34
You could be useful in a hundred ways.
You could write plays!
:47:38
I dare say, I could scribble something,
now and then.
:47:42
Whatever you write, please include a pump
and two washing tubs.
:47:46
I just bought them at a sale.
:47:49
Could I live by such a trade?
:47:51
Like a prince!
With your own salary, and your friend's...
:47:55
and your writing, you could make £1 a week!
:47:59
With a good run of houses, double that.
