0:01:54 > 0:01:59# ..ta-ta-te-te-de-du-do-doo. #
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Do you have to do that? - RING RING
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Get that, Hattie.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Is it for me? I don't know.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Miss Ju-u-u-dith.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- It's yours, Judy. - What? Oh...
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Look what mother sent. What are they? Pecans.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Well, I COULD get out of my date.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- ..sure I'll get a girl. - Where is she...
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Take 'em off. - Are you speaking to me?
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- You heard me.- What do you mean? - Come on, get 'em off.- They're mine!
0:02:38 > 0:02:44- They are not! I'm not starving to buy you stockings. - You owe me a pair.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50Mrs Orcutt, Linda's doing a strip-tease. Why don't you split 'em?
0:02:50 > 0:02:55Go bare-legged. Places YOU go, it won't matter.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59What's the trouble? What kind of place are you running?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03What is going on? She's accusing me of stealing stockings...
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- They're the last you get from me. - How can I run a decent house... - You're doing your best!
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- This guttersnipe... - I'll guttersnipe you!
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I will not have this in my house!
0:03:15 > 0:03:21- I'll slap her ears.- I'd like to see you!- Come here then.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Girls, girls. I'm moving in with Madeline.
0:03:26 > 0:03:33- It won't take long. Everything you own is on your back. - Is this brawl over?
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- You're all I want to find missing! - No, nothing ever happens here!
0:03:38 > 0:03:418 o'clock. You betcha. Goodbye.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Do you want a date?- Huh?
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- Do you want a date?- More lumbermen? - Must I apologise for Seattle?
0:03:50 > 0:03:57- The last lot were MADE of wood. - All right...stay and gorge yourself on lamb stew. Pat, want a date?
0:03:57 > 0:04:04- Is it for dinner?- Yes. - Why didn't you say so? That stew's got me counting sheep!
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- It's different when it's dinner. - I feel safer when we're sitting.
0:04:09 > 0:04:16- Try being less insulting this time. - Me, insulting to a lumberman? The very idea is preposterous!
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- Do we dress?- I suppose so. We usually do.- I'll be there, pet.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26You know me, the lumberman's delight.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Mr Powell's car, for Miss Shaw. I'll tell her.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- For Linda?- Mr Powell's car. - I'll be the carrier pigeon.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Oh, Linda, Mr Powell's car is here.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Mr Powell isn't, just his car.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Peaceful place (!)
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Anybody use a couple of tired peasants?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53How was the matinee? >
0:04:53 > 0:04:57More people on stage than in the audience.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01It makes me sick. What's Gerda sick about?
0:05:01 > 0:05:06- Five weeks rehearsal, two weeks pay. - Show closing?- Like a tired clam.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11Aw, that's too bad. Let's all go on relief.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13TAP ON DOOR
0:05:13 > 0:05:15What's that? Mice.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18How do you get in here?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Use the other door! Can't you read?
0:05:21 > 0:05:28- ANOTHER show folding.- We should move in with scenery.- Yeah! - DOORBELL
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Hattie, the mice are back.
0:05:31 > 0:05:38- How many doors are there? - How many do you want? - I asked a civil question.
0:05:38 > 0:05:44- I want to see about accommodation. - Which keeper's on duty, Hattie? - GIRLS LAUGHING
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- How amusing(!) - Take a seat.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- I'll get Mrs Orcutt. - Thank you, thanks.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58Pardon me, I shall take the wolfhounds for a stroll.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- If you spoke louder everyone might hear.- I forget you're old and deaf.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11If you'd more respect, Mr Powell might send his car for YOU one day.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I can't wait.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- But he'd probably send YOU back. - Oh, yeah?
0:06:18 > 0:06:24- What about his chauffeur?- Ah, he doesn't go as far as Mr Powell.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Even a chauffeur needs an incentive. - You should know(!)
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Enjoy your lamb stew again tonight.
0:06:31 > 0:06:37- I'll think of you while dining on pheasant bordelaise. - Ooh, girls, bordelaise!
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Don't eat the bones and give yourself away.
0:06:41 > 0:06:49- Did you wish to see me?- This IS a theatrical boarding house?- One of the finest.- I had begun to doubt it.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Are you the person I see about accommodation?
0:06:53 > 0:07:00- Yes, indeed! Pardon my appearance, I've been in the kitchen. - I would like a private bath.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08- Did I say anything strange? - Oh, don't mind the girls, we're one happy family.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12I may not be able to give you just what you want.
0:07:12 > 0:07:18- I CAN put you with a charming girl. - How much is it?- 13, if you share.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Is there a reduction by the week?
0:07:24 > 0:07:31- It is 13 a week.- Oh, my mistake. - That doesn't include luncheon. - Do meals go with the 13?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35MRS ORCUTT: Yes, and we have a lovely kitchen.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- I have no change. - I'll be here for a while.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41What shall I do about my baggage?
0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Get Miss...?- Terry Randall. - Miss Randall's baggage.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54Pardon me, has Mr Hargraves called me yet? Why, no.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58When he does, tell him I couldn't consider his play...
0:07:58 > 0:08:03How do you do. This is Miss Randall. Are you in the theatre?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Not yet.- With proper coaching...
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Come with me, please.- Excuse me.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- Put the trunks in Miss Maitland's room.- What's that?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It's a feature of the club.
0:08:21 > 0:08:27It's the chair Bernhardt sat in while rehearsing. I was in the company.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33- Oh, you were an actress?- Mrs Orcutt supported ME in lots of shows.
0:08:33 > 0:08:40- That's Bernhardt's picture. They say she was wonderful. - She was very good although,
0:08:40 > 0:08:47- it isn't well known, we had the same coach.- Coach? Acting's just common sense.
0:08:47 > 0:08:54A good coach applies common sense. If I don't get the right play soon, I may do some coaching myself.
0:09:04 > 0:09:12- What is this? Another boat docking? - Mrs Orcutt told me to put them here. - This is not a store-room.
0:09:12 > 0:09:19- Jean, this is your new room-mate, Miss Randall.- We've met before, after a fashion.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I'm sure you'll get on very well.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- I'm sure.- Anything else? - No, thanks.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- When does your baggage get here? - The rest arrives tomorrow.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Well, we can always sleep in the hall(!)
0:09:44 > 0:09:49What about the wolfhounds? You don't mind animals?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- I've roomed with them before. - I can see that(!)
0:09:53 > 0:09:58- Fresh kill? - Yes, I trapped them myself.
0:09:58 > 0:10:05- Can I ask a personal question? - Another!- These trunks full of bodies?- Just those.
0:10:05 > 0:10:13- We can always live in the trunks. - Good idea. You don't mind helping? Sorry, I forgot you're not a maid.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18Oh, that's all right. What a lovely dress, made by loving hands?
0:10:18 > 0:10:23- Every stitch.- Do you cook?- Nothing fancy, just plain home cooking.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Bet you boil a great pan of water!
0:10:28 > 0:10:34- You don't mind if I put this here? - Why not, it'll scare moths away(!)
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Friend? - It happens to be my grandfather.
0:10:37 > 0:10:43- Quite a resemblance round the whiskers(!) - That's intelligent, for you(!)
0:10:43 > 0:10:47He seems pretty generous.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- He treated me well. - Bet you wish he was younger.
0:10:51 > 0:10:57In addition to your other charms, you've that insolence caused by an inferior upbringing.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Fancy clothes, fancy language and everything(!)
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I also learned to speak English correctly.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07We talk pig-latin here.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12- And I use the right knife and fork. - All you'll need is the knife.
0:11:12 > 0:11:18- Mind if I hang these things here? I must take my bath. - That might help(!)
0:11:18 > 0:11:23Half the wardrobe is yours. Get rid of anything in your way.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30I expected a rabbit to jump out of that hat(!)
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Orcutt nearly fainted at the 50.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36< What's she doing HERE with 50?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39It must be counterfeit.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I think she's a phoney.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46When she asked if 13 included meals!
0:11:46 > 0:11:51- Maybe she's slumming.- Yeah! - Talking of slumming, when do we eat?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Wash your necks, children, the lamb is about to be sacrificed.
0:11:54 > 0:12:01< I washed my neck yesterday. < So did I. < Here's Kay.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Hello. < Any luck?
0:12:03 > 0:12:09No, but I saw a MANAGER! Hey, Kay saw a manager!
0:12:09 > 0:12:14Was it an interview? No, I saw him as he rushed by.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Such animals DO exist! What did he look like?
0:12:18 > 0:12:25Like any other animal. He had on pants, tie... Did he have hoofs?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- Did he bleat?- I wasn't so close. You saw a mirage!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Come and get it!
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Henry, mother'll get you some lovely lamb stew. Coming Kay?
0:12:40 > 0:12:45- I'll be along later.- Aren't you having dinner?- I'm not hungry.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49You've been awfully blue lately, haven't you?
0:12:49 > 0:12:56After a season in Powell's office, he might say hello. It's pretty discouraging.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Oh, Miss Hamilton...
0:12:59 > 0:13:04I'm afraid... I know, but could you let it go a little longer?
0:13:04 > 0:13:09It's three weeks... But I don't eat here, and I've almost got a part.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13I don't want to be inconsiderate...
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Well, maybe I could give you a little...
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Say, 10? That's something. Thanks awfully.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Ella, it's still a community tub, you know.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Just a minute. > - What do you think you are, a seal?
0:13:32 > 0:13:37If you want to drown yourself, use the ocean. Hey, Kay!
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- Why didn't you say hello? - Hello, Jean, I didn't see you.
0:13:44 > 0:13:50- You must've heard me. - Oh, don't pay any attention to me. - What's the matter?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Just one of those days.
0:13:54 > 0:14:00- Let's have a good cry. - All right, cry on my shoulder. I'm going to bathe anyhow.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05"No casting today. Leave your name and number, we'll get in touch...
0:14:05 > 0:14:10"Mr Powell isn't seeing anyone until the end of the week"...Last week...
0:14:10 > 0:14:15..and the week before. Where did I get the idea I was a good actress?
0:14:15 > 0:14:21- Who got all those rave notices? - That was a year ago. - You DO sound gloomy.
0:14:21 > 0:14:27Why am I hanging on? But there's nothing else I can do. No-one to go back to.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Except someone I'll NEVER go back to.
0:14:31 > 0:14:37You don't have to go back. You're the best actress here. Something good'll come your way.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41I hope so. But it had better be soon.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45I don't mean to butt in, but if it's a matter of a few bucks...
0:14:45 > 0:14:52Oh, Jean, I've got to get that part in "Enchanted April". It's my life. It's me! No-one else can do it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:58It belongs to me! Oh, Jean, I've got to get that part... I've GOT to!
0:15:00 > 0:15:04That was dinner fit for a king.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I got it caught in my teeth.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Lamb stew must drive sheep herders crazy.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13If your cat goes missing, I'm eating out.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18Bet Orcutt's husband died of wool poisoning.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23I was so interested in your discussion of "Twelfth Night."
0:15:23 > 0:15:28- Thank you. I'm afraid the others don't agree.- Barbarians!
0:15:28 > 0:15:33They've had no training, my dear. When I played in "Twelfth Night"...
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- Oh, did you play in "Twelfth Night"?- Yes...I...
0:15:37 > 0:15:44- ..I have some notices, if you'd care to see them...- Please. - Oh, they're right on top!
0:15:44 > 0:15:50Just read the bits that are marked. This is from Atlantic City.
0:15:50 > 0:15:56That new gal's got a crush on Shakespeare. Maybe they'll marry.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Shakespeare's dead. No!!
0:15:59 > 0:16:02If he wrote "Hamlet", he is.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07- Never heard of it. - Oh, you must! - I meet so many people(!)
0:16:09 > 0:16:11More Shakespeare coming up.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Is it wrong to discuss the classics?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I won't take my sleeping pill tonight.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22All great actresses used to know their Shakespeare.
0:16:22 > 0:16:29- How about their onions? - Listen to Miss Randall, you might learn something.
0:16:29 > 0:16:37- I like "Amos and Andy".- In my day, we were actresses AND technicians. We learnt our trade with care.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40That's what we should have, a trade.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45- I'd like to use my hands. - - Try your feet, they're bigger.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Trouble is, you don't take anything seriously.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53After a year trying to get a job, you won't either.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Do you have to do nothing about it?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59My grandfather did nothing till he was 80.
0:16:59 > 0:17:06If my grandfather had sat around, there would still be Indians in Wichita.
0:17:06 > 0:17:12- Who's there now?- You're facing difficulties, what about the men who crossed the Rockies?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Did any try to see a manager?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19No, but they could have. I bet I can too.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22You'll get in with vanishing cream?
0:17:22 > 0:17:28Time to be off. If we're not on stage by 8.30, the orchestra gets lonesome.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31# Oh, we're the girls of the Edelweiss...#
0:17:31 > 0:17:36ALL YODEL
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Can't we ever have any peace around here?
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Olga wants peace. Can't have peace without a war.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46What have you done in the theatre?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Everything but burst out of a pie!
0:17:50 > 0:17:56Well, if you did something for the theatre, it might do something for you.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- What theatre? - Is there one?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I haven't looked lately.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06None of you seem to take your work very seriously.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12- I'm going to try. I want to know if I can act.- Your best friends won't tell you.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17Try to stretch your mind further than the next wisecrack.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22I tried that once. You girls need training.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25< In my day... In centuries past.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Yes? - Just reading aloud.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Oh.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Who will we pick on now? Not me.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- Judith! - My lumber gentlemen. No cracks!
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Sorry we're late. - Nice to see you again.
0:18:41 > 0:18:47I manage to get down here once a year. Meet Mr Millbank.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- I've known this girl since she was in pig-tails. - Let's skip that.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57Nobody ever thought that she would be an actress. >
0:18:57 > 0:19:00The odds are still the same.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- Have you got a friend? - Oh, a charming girl.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Jean, I'd like you to meet some friends.
0:19:07 > 0:19:14- You said they were dressing. - Don't start.- They should've worn overalls.- Cut it out!
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Jean, I'd like you to meet Mr Dukenfield and Mr Millstream.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Millbank. - What did I say? - Millstream.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31- Do you tear down trees with your hands?- Told you she was a kick!
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- I love it! - I can tell by the size of your shoes(!)
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- < What? - Ain't she a card?
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- You come from Seattle too.- How did you know?- I can tell a college man.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- I got a taxi waiting. - Let's get going.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50- A taxi! I bet you drink champagne out of slippers!- I never have...
0:19:50 > 0:19:55- Let's go to Central Park and hang on the trees.- You're killing me!
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Pleasant little foursome. I predict a murder before the night's over.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06DOOR OPENS
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Hello.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17How are your folks?
0:20:17 > 0:20:23- What happened to you? - Nearly everything. - You're limping.- Am I? So I am.
0:20:23 > 0:20:31- Ever danced with a Seattle Romeo? - I don't remember.- You would! - Why do you go out with them?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Why do I? They not only jump on you, but bore you to death.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I know how many cords of wood...
0:20:38 > 0:20:43..in a pint...a pine tree is not deciduous, but has acidosis...
0:20:43 > 0:20:47and Oregon will soon be bald through lack of timber.
0:20:49 > 0:20:55- Why am I telling you this? - Why not? We're sharing a room, why not our troubles?
0:20:55 > 0:21:02- We started badly. Let's stay that way.- Don't you get tired? - Can't you take it?- I can take it!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Mind if I ask a humble question?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- Ask it in English. - What do you do about air in here?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13In summer we do without. This time of year, we open a window.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Oh.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22This thing is stuck.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Don't pull from the top.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31BLAST OF LOUD TRAFFIC NOISES
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- What about the sign? - Leave it there.
0:21:40 > 0:21:47- Don't those lights keep you awake? - Yes, if you try to out-blink them. We usually use these.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52- What do I do? Put it over my eyes? - No, swallow it with water (!)
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- That's ingenious. Thanks. - Don't get sentimental.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- You sleep right away? - Why do YOU go to bed?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I thought we might talk.
0:22:03 > 0:22:11- I've had enough talk for tonight. - Are you wondering why I'm here? - Why not find somewhere decent?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Isn't this a decent place?- No!
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I've always longed for an atmosphere like this.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22You haven't seen atmosphere. Wait for the garbage trucks at five.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28- Am I getting good? - No, that just seemed funny.
0:22:28 > 0:22:35It isn't funny to me. If I had your clothes, I'd scram, and leave you with your 'atmosphere'.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39You wouldn't sell out for a wardrobe.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44It's okay for you, you got yours. Linda isn't doing so bad either.
0:22:44 > 0:22:50- Linda? Oh, the other girl you fight with. - Maybe you two have the right idea.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53What idea's that?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- Stop kidding.- Oh, you mean having a grandfather.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Call him what you like.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05- If I had to do it over, I wouldn't have a grandfather.- Says YOU!
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Who's in a better position to say, as my grandfather buys my clothes?
0:23:09 > 0:23:16- Whadyasay?- I said, who's in a better...- Write it down, I'll read it in the morning.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28JAZZY MUSIC ON THE PIANO
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Up...one...two... three...four...
0:23:38 > 0:23:43Alright, alright. That's enough for today.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- I thought he'd never stop. - We ought to get him a whip.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55- Let's run through our routine before Olga gets away.- I need new legs.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Forget the lumberjacks, and get some sleep.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04Olga, will you run through our routine? What about my concert practice?
0:24:04 > 0:24:10Please. Oh, all right, and for this I studied with Kolijinsky(!)
0:24:10 > 0:24:16- Tony Powell, how are you? - Alex, how's the new school?- Fine. You putting on a musical?
0:24:16 > 0:24:22- Not unless I find an angel. Seen one?- No, not lately.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- Hit it, Olga! - JAZZ MUSIC ON PIANO
0:24:26 > 0:24:32- Who's the blonde?- Want to meet her? - Never mind, I'll introduce myself.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Look who's giving us the once-over.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41- Where?- Over there. - Who is it?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Nobody but Anthony Powell.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Oh, so that's Linda's soulmate.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Uh-huh.- Who's he staring at?
0:24:50 > 0:24:55- I don't know, but I hope it's me. - You can have him.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04- You rehearsing for a musical?- No, we're just getting over the DTs.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09- Nice routine.- I hear yours is okay. - We haven't got to the best part.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19- What's the matter with your friend? - Well, I think she's kinda nervous...
0:25:19 > 0:25:24- ..meeting a great man like you. - Do I make you nervous?- A little.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29- Do you kids expect to go on stage? - We're just waiting to be discovered.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- Well, you're discovered. - I didn't mean it that way.
0:25:33 > 0:25:41- We're looking for nightclub work. Like the Grotto.- The Grotto?- Well, excuse me, I AM a little nervous.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52There's nothing like a cheerful letter from home. Pa got laid off,
0:25:52 > 0:25:58my brother slugged a detective... lots of love, can you spare 50?
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Did you like the soup? It would've made nice hot water.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Next time, I'll use it to wash out my stockings.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09That meatloaf came from a museum!
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I wonder what was in it.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Let's complain about the food (!)
0:26:15 > 0:26:17You could've had a date with me!
0:26:17 > 0:26:22- Have my share of those timber wolves.- They mean food to me!
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Know any younger men?- Hungry ones!
0:26:25 > 0:26:30- She needs a good bawling out. - Don't start that again!
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- Start what?- Well, Tony Powell was at rehearsal today.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- So what?- The great Anthony Powell?
0:26:37 > 0:26:42Uh-huh. He was nice and interested in us, but she ran out on him!
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- He kept staring at me!- Lucky you!
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Yeah!- It makes you want to put a coat on!
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Don't forget I'm part of this team. I'm not running AWAY from managers!
0:26:55 > 0:26:57You're interfering with my art!
0:26:57 > 0:27:00He's got a pretty good act himself!
0:27:00 > 0:27:05- You need pumping up!- Well, she ain't exactly a flat, just a slow leak!
0:27:05 > 0:27:10- Food and men! Is that all you talk about?- What else is there?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Hi, Kay. New script?- Yes.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Don't you eat here any more?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Some friends are in town, so I've been seeing them.
0:27:21 > 0:27:27- Not tree chopper-downers? - Just people.- Pardon me, there's a dust storm blowing up.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Howjado.- We've met socially? - Hope not!
0:27:30 > 0:27:35- Hey, that's a good piece of skin. - Just a trinket from my Aunt Susan.
0:27:35 > 0:27:41- It's good of those animals to die for you.- Oh, they're very smart.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43They die for the RIGHT people.
0:27:43 > 0:27:49YOU know rodents! I saw your Aunt Susan today - you show better taste than HE does.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- Jean. - Think of a reply while I get this.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58Don't forget Aunt Susan's car is outside. Hello. Miss Maitland here.
0:27:58 > 0:28:04Yes...Mr Berger, the Club Grotto. Where? When?
0:28:04 > 0:28:08I'll go right over. Kids, the depression's over.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- You gone screwy? - String bean, wake up!
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Why?- It's Gordon from dancing class.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- Did he propose?- No, we're to go to the Club Grotto.- Why?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21He's got an opening in his show!
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- What's the excitement?- Who knows!
0:28:24 > 0:28:29She hasn't worked in so long, this job could be her comeback!
0:28:29 > 0:28:34- There's lots of action here! - Like a circus.- A little.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- They're great girls.- I think so.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- They don't like ME.- Never mind.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45- Maybe there's something wrong with me?- You're just different.
0:28:45 > 0:28:51Well now, WHY? I eat the same food, and I'm doing my best to pick up their slang
0:28:51 > 0:28:56though I'm not so hot. How's that? "Not so hot"!
0:28:56 > 0:29:01- You both need time to understand each other.- Yes, I suppose so.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05They make a lot of noise to keep up their courage.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09But they're young enough to have courage.
0:29:09 > 0:29:17Young enough to have fears, too. Look how excited Jean and Ann were at just the CHANCE of a job.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21It's awful, hoping some manager will interview you.
0:29:21 > 0:29:27You don't have that worry. I saw you last year, you KNOW you're good.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32I'm not sure. Who is an actress and who isn't?
0:29:32 > 0:29:37You can't just walk up and down a room and act.
0:29:37 > 0:29:43Without that job and those lines, an actress is like any girl trying not to look as scared as she feels.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Here's something to try. I've had dinner.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52This is special, I'm practising cooking.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55I'm glad someone is!
0:29:55 > 0:29:59I'll leave it. You may get hungry.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Hattie! Coming.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- That's final? - Yes, Dad, that's final.
0:30:14 > 0:30:20I thought you might have satisfied this whim of yours and come home.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24If I couldn't achieve anything without the family money
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- I'd feel useless.- Why the stage?
0:30:27 > 0:30:34- There are other things.- It appeals to me. Why did grandfather leave a nice home to become a pioneer?
0:30:34 > 0:30:39He made sacrifices for a reason. For economic security.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44Security from what? So I can play bridge, ride to hounds, or marry a polo player?
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Is that why he endured hardships?
0:30:47 > 0:30:54- What about the family name? - Our family is from the Mid-West. No-one in New York knows our name.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58They don't know me yet, but they WILL.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02I'm sorry, I can't support you any longer.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Financially or morally?
0:31:05 > 0:31:12- If you go on with this, you'll have to do it alone.- I'll do it alone. - What if you fail?
0:31:12 > 0:31:19- I'll be the first to admit it. - It may take years to find out. - Yes, but I'm going to stick to it.
0:31:19 > 0:31:25Well, are you too proud to come back home if you are a failure?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27No!
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- You'd come home if you failed? - Would you have me?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Well, you're pretty stubborn,
0:31:33 > 0:31:39but you're still my favourite daughter. We'll leave it there. Check, please.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43JAZZ MUSIC WITH TRUMPETS
0:31:51 > 0:31:56Hello Mr Powell, nice to see you again. Miss Shaw, Mr Powell.
0:31:56 > 0:32:02- Won't you join us? - Hope I'm not intruding. - I should say not!
0:32:02 > 0:32:06HOW many times have we been "introduced"?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Thirty-seven, including this evening.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- I wonder if we're fooling anyone(!) - You're in an ugly mood.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Why can't you get me an interesting STOOGE?
0:32:17 > 0:32:21I'm retained as an ESCORT. Stooge fits the bill.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- Let's go, I'm bored. - Relax, I want to see some new numbers.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Oh, getting interested in NEW numbers?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31We are SUPPOSED to be together(!)
0:32:31 > 0:32:35I could get you a job with a ventriloquist(!)
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Well, life is FULL of surprises(!)
0:33:07 > 0:33:11- Cute kids, aren't they? - You think so?
0:33:17 > 0:33:22- Wonder who they are. - Just RIFF-RAFF they pick up in town.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Mr Powell, phone call for you. - Thank you.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41- Why not dance? - If it's a WRONG number, you can get your money back.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Well, shall we dance? NO!
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- Hear what she called us?- US?
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- Riff-raff! I could hit her! - Well, you almost did!
0:33:53 > 0:33:59- Powell just sat there. I should've hit him too.- That's all we need. - What do you mean?
0:33:59 > 0:34:03I heard tonight he owns half interest in this club.
0:34:03 > 0:34:09I THOUGHT it was funny we got this job all of a sudden.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- And THEN came the dawn(!) - Think he's involved?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Atta girl! Bet you can put two and two together.
0:34:16 > 0:34:23- So that's it!- Don't be a dope! If he smiled at me tonight the way he smiled at you, I'd collapse!
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- May I come in?- Please do.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31- I thought you two were very good. - We thought so too. - May I sit down?
0:34:31 > 0:34:34It's your club.
0:34:34 > 0:34:40- I have a small interest in it. - Don't pay any attention, she's barmy!
0:34:41 > 0:34:48- You don't like me?- I like a man who takes his MOTHER out. That WAS your mother with you?
0:34:48 > 0:34:56- No, that was a friend's mother. - I can speak freely?- Yes.- Your 'friend' has bad taste in mothers.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59I'm beginning to think so myself.
0:34:59 > 0:35:05My ideal mother is young, blonde, slim and generally intriguing.
0:35:05 > 0:35:11- I'll get you one. How do you like them? Tall, fat, round? - About...YOUR size.
0:35:11 > 0:35:16That's not so easy. I'm NOT stock size.
0:35:16 > 0:35:23- Couldn't we talk it over at dinner? - I'm fond of dinner. Could you send your car?- Where to?
0:35:23 > 0:35:30- I'm living at the Footlights Club, but traffic is heavy.- I see! - So send it here first.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Perhaps that would be better.
0:35:33 > 0:35:39- Tomorrow night, after the show? - Mama'll have a lamp in the window. - Goodnight.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Mr Powell isn't in. Did you have an appointment?
0:35:48 > 0:35:54I could wait. Wait if you like but I doubt you'll see him.
0:35:54 > 0:35:59Hello? You might call later. > Mr Powell is out of town.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02How'd you like that? Out of town!
0:36:02 > 0:36:07I guess that was his DOUBLE peeking through the door(!)
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Fancy opening an office NOT to see people.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15WHISTLING A CHEERFUL TUNE
0:36:16 > 0:36:20You can go in.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- Mammie singer? - Maybe Powell forgot his shoes.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- Hello, Kay.- Hello. - Hello.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- Mr Powell's out of town. - He may be hiding.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40- We're kidding, but you need an appointment. - I've got one.
0:36:40 > 0:36:46- I'm reading that part today. - Knock him off his chair! - I've been studying all night.
0:36:46 > 0:36:52- Do you have appointments? - We're waiting for Randall. If she can't see Powell, we get lunch.
0:36:52 > 0:36:58Starting with caviar, nice, big WHALE caviar. Miss Hamilton. >
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Good luck, kid.- Thanks.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06I'm sorry, you can't go in now.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Something came up. Mr Powell has had to cancel.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14I can wait. Not today. Next week sometime.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17If I could see him for five minutes.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Sorry, it'll have to be next week.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25Please make it today, because...because...
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Somebody catch her!
0:37:29 > 0:37:32We'll take care of her.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44- What's happened? - Powell broke an appointment, and she fainted.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- Let me help. - Give me the water.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54What a guy! Breaks an appointment to get his shoes shined!
0:37:54 > 0:37:58- Who does he think he is? - < You can't go in.- Watch me!
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Are you Anthony Powell? - Who are you?
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- Never mind.- What...- Why do you refuse to see people...?
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- That's MY business. - A girl fainted because of it.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15- I didn't know.- You won't, if you don't see people.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20A great actress could be out there, but you'd never give her a chance!
0:38:20 > 0:38:27- Are YOU a great actress? - Never mind. Those girls need you! They need to be noticed.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31I'm sorry, I couldn't stop her.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- The girl who fainted?- Her friends are with her.- All right.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Thank you.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- I want to talk to you.- Go ahead. - Okay, sonny.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Sit down.- I'm sitting.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50I take it you hold me responsible for those girls. Is that correct?
0:38:50 > 0:38:58- No, but you should see those people.- I haven't time to see everyone who comes here.- Huh!
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Sit down, you're making me nervous.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Every year 50,000 girls decide they want to act.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Most would be better at home, washing dishes.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15- The others?- There are 50 girls for a job!- Do you find the right one?
0:39:15 > 0:39:21You never see them to say "no". That would give them SOME contact with the theatre.
0:39:21 > 0:39:27- You can't complain. I've SEEN you, you're not the type. - Very smug, Mr Powell.
0:39:27 > 0:39:35- Whether you believe I'm to blame or not, run along and leave me with my conscience.- Have you one?
0:39:35 > 0:39:38I won't see ANYBODY else, I...
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- Oh...Hello, Mr Carmichael, come in. - Hello, Mr Powell.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48- How are you?- Fine.- This has nothing to do with that other matter?
0:39:48 > 0:39:53- No, nothing like that. - Fine, sit down. Cigar? Cigarette?
0:39:53 > 0:39:58- You just missed some excitement. - So I hear. Who's the girl?- No idea.
0:39:58 > 0:40:03- A stage-struck damsel.- An actress? - A bad one, I can always tell.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- You're sure of that?- I seldom miss.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10These stage-struck girls would be better off at home.
0:40:10 > 0:40:16- My client agrees.- Client?- You've got a play?- "Enchanted April", why?
0:40:16 > 0:40:20The client I spoke of is interested in the theatre.
0:40:20 > 0:40:25I can't mention names, but he'd like to dabble in show-business.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Fresh money is always welcome.
0:40:28 > 0:40:34- Under the circumstances, I'm not sure you'd be interested. - What circumstances?
0:40:34 > 0:40:41Here's the proposition. We can go over it. If you're still interested, we'll go on from there.
0:40:46 > 0:40:54Hello. This is the Footlights Club. No, FOOT! How can it be the laundry when it's the Footlights Club?
0:40:54 > 0:40:59Yes, I'm sure. I'm standing in it! Oh, go wash your OWN neck!
0:40:59 > 0:41:01How's Kay? She's all right.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06What did the doctor say? Malnutrition, that's not eating.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09She needs good food and a rest.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13She hasn't worked for a year. That's a rest.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17- Come here. Shake your head.- Why? - Just shake it.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20As I thought, I can hear it rattle.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23- What did you say? - Nothing!
0:41:24 > 0:41:31Hope Powell sleeps tonight(!) What's this about Randall telling him off?
0:41:31 > 0:41:33She made a lot of noise!
0:41:33 > 0:41:37I'm revising my opinion of her.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Is Mr Powell's car here yet? I ain't seen it.
0:41:42 > 0:41:47DOORBELL Maybe that's it.
0:41:47 > 0:41:52These are for Jean Maitland. I'll see she gets them.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56Thank you, I recognise the florist. They're for Jean.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03Oh, so they are. Let me take them to her.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Save me a trip upstairs.
0:42:06 > 0:42:11- Looks like there's a new queen bee. - Yes, but the same king!
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- How's Kay?- Fine.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24- It's so silly to go without food. - Yes, "terribly silly"! - I didn't mean it that way.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32- How is she?- She'll be all right. - She should have told us.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36- Sweet of you to send the doctor. - Don't mention that.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39The whole thing is so unnecessary.
0:42:46 > 0:42:51- May I come in?- The exterminators don't arrive till tomorrow.
0:42:51 > 0:42:56- They missed you last time?- I was out with a boyfriend of yours.
0:42:56 > 0:43:02- These arrived for you.- You brought them up! If I could find my purse,
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- I'd give you a tip. - I came to give YOU a tip.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10I'll tell what the note says. "11 roses and the 12th is you."
0:43:11 > 0:43:14You're doing well. Tell me more.
0:43:14 > 0:43:22His routine's the same with all the girls. Ending with supper in his penthouse with all the trimmings.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26- There's Harcourt, he's a gem. - That isn't him you're wearing?
0:43:26 > 0:43:29No, that's a star sapphire.
0:43:29 > 0:43:35- Harcourt's the butler. He's very discreet, tiptoes backwards. - I know the type.
0:43:35 > 0:43:40You'll get to know him. He's deaf, so don't bother to scream for help.
0:43:40 > 0:43:46I mustn't forget the lighting effect, it's very good. It goes with that tired little boy routine.
0:43:46 > 0:43:53- You'll see!- How galling for you older women to lose your meal ticket to younger riff-raff!
0:43:53 > 0:43:59Meantime, I have my sable coat and star sapphire to keep me company.
0:43:59 > 0:44:05- You paid too much for it. - You're wrong. I'm not as generous as my Aunt Susan.
0:44:05 > 0:44:10Goodbye! If you need a pallbearer, I'm at your service.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Ahem. I couldn't help overhearing.
0:44:18 > 0:44:23- You're NOT running around with that man Powell!- Why not?
0:44:23 > 0:44:28- Just to spite Linda? - I can take care of myself.
0:44:28 > 0:44:33- You need a governess!- I think he's charming.- So are snakes.
0:44:33 > 0:44:39- If I don't go out with him, Ann and I may lose our jobs. - That's a lame excuse.
0:44:39 > 0:44:46- You got along before. - I'm sick of 'getting along'. - Stick to your ideals.
0:44:46 > 0:44:50- You should talk! - NOT that grandfather thing again!
0:44:50 > 0:44:53- It's none of your business.- Sorry!
0:44:53 > 0:44:58- That jacket is similar to one of mine.- I didn't expect you so soon.
0:44:58 > 0:45:04- I just wanted to see how I'd feel in one of these. - Do you feel different?
0:45:04 > 0:45:07- I'll say!- Well, why not wear it?
0:45:07 > 0:45:12- You mean it?- Why not go OUT in ermine? You'll come BACK in rags.
0:45:12 > 0:45:17- You know, you're not such a bad egg.- As eggs go, I have my points.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21Gee, thanks!
0:45:29 > 0:45:36Not at all, not at all, anything for old Seattle. I'm not sure about dinner.
0:45:36 > 0:45:41- Hattie, what's on tonight? - What d'you think? - I think I can make it.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44I'll try to get another girl.
0:45:44 > 0:45:48- What a well-dressed room-mate wears. - Pardonnez-moi?
0:45:48 > 0:45:52Henry, that's you, if you don't behave.
0:45:52 > 0:45:58- If you're not busy, I have a couple of lumber... - Don't mention the word 'lumber'!
0:45:58 > 0:46:02I'm dining tonight on pheasant bordelaise...
0:46:02 > 0:46:06- Where's Bordelaise? - She doesn't know what PHEASANT is.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10There's a difference between PHEASANT and PEASANT.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14- My friend won't serve PEASANTS. - He WILL take them out.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17When he's through, he's through!
0:46:17 > 0:46:22It's one thing to borrow him, another to HOLD him.
0:46:22 > 0:46:29Tell the lady I won't buy anything. Goodbye! When I return I'll tell you how the other half lives.
0:46:29 > 0:46:34- Let's not be late again. - Lead the way, Higgins.
0:46:34 > 0:46:39- You think she was burned up? - Oh, have it out with knives(!)
0:46:39 > 0:46:42- Hello, Bill. - Hi, Palsy. Hello, Ann.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45We're in a hurry. What's up with her?
0:46:45 > 0:46:52- She's a grouch. When did you get back?- This morning. The show was one of the quicker flops!
0:46:52 > 0:46:56- I gave it up when I was seven. - Bright girl. Busy tonight?
0:46:56 > 0:47:02- Yeah.- Well, I couldn't give you much time tonight. Tomorrow?
0:47:02 > 0:47:09- Oh, I don't think I can.- Why not? - Since we've got this job, I haven't had time for anything.
0:47:09 > 0:47:15- You've given up eating? - It's not that. I don't think we'd better see each other for a while.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19- Why?- I just think it's better.
0:47:21 > 0:47:25- Oh.- Why do you say 'oh' like that?
0:47:25 > 0:47:29- How would YOU say it?- It sounds like it means something.- Does it?
0:47:29 > 0:47:34- What I do is my business. - < Are you coming?- Oh, shut up!
0:47:34 > 0:47:37- Did you eat something sour?- Sorry.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42- I've got to live my own life.- Sure.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45Does it matter if I walk with you?
0:47:45 > 0:47:48No, I guess not.
0:47:57 > 0:48:01- That's 50,000 you owe me. - Double or nothing.- Okay.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07Ah, we're even!
0:48:10 > 0:48:15- Enjoy supper?- Didn't dare to.- Why? - Because I'll go back to lamb stew.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18You don't have to go back to that.
0:48:18 > 0:48:25- D'you eat like this all the time? - Practically. Why?- Just wondered. Wish I'd been born lucky.
0:48:25 > 0:48:29But you are beautiful. I'm the lucky one.
0:48:31 > 0:48:37- More champagne?- No, thanks. I won't be able to stand as it is.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39BOO!
0:48:41 > 0:48:45- I knew she was lying.- Who? - He isn't deaf.
0:48:45 > 0:48:50- He hasn't been.- You can't trust people.- No...some coffee?
0:48:50 > 0:48:55- S'wonderful view.- Yes, it is. - Wonderful.- It's a beautiful city.
0:48:55 > 0:49:00Like a fairyland. Full of colour, romance and glamour.
0:49:00 > 0:49:05- Depends where you see it from. - You should only see it from here.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08- Those lights keep you awake?- No.
0:49:08 > 0:49:14I love New York from here. It looks all rouged and manicured and ready to go out.
0:49:14 > 0:49:18- Quite a philosopher. - It's the champagne talking.
0:49:18 > 0:49:24- Mighty good talk.- Mighty good champagne.- Let's have more of both.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28- Who are the men?- Figures from the Orient.- Anyone I know?
0:49:28 > 0:49:33This one takes care of girls who work hard.
0:49:33 > 0:49:40- This one, that they meet the right people.- This one went to market... - And doesn't make girls eat stew.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43- Who's that?- Mrs Powell.
0:49:43 > 0:49:47We're not divorced. That's Junior. Fine-looking boy.
0:49:47 > 0:49:53I don't believe in pretence. Lots of men keep quiet about their families,
0:49:53 > 0:50:00- but I believe a man can have his home and lead his own life.- Mmm. - That is, a man of character.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03- Big of you!- It's the way I feel.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06- Very big of you!- Relax!
0:50:07 > 0:50:09I want to talk to you.
0:50:09 > 0:50:14You must be tired, dancing all evening.
0:50:15 > 0:50:19Ooh, there you are again.
0:50:19 > 0:50:26I'm glad you're not deaf, cos you wouldn't be able to hear. That would be terrible.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29- Yes, ma'am.- Terrible!
0:50:33 > 0:50:36I never know where he's going!
0:50:37 > 0:50:41- What?!- Isn't that more restful?
0:50:41 > 0:50:45- Something blow?- It improves the view.- S'beautiful.
0:50:45 > 0:50:51Think what it will look like with your name flashing across the sky.
0:50:51 > 0:50:56- Your name in letters that big. - That big!- All right, that big!
0:50:56 > 0:51:03- It'll keep people awake.- It will. I'll mould you into the greatest dancer ever.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06I'll be Pygmalion, you, Galatea.
0:51:06 > 0:51:11- Sounds like a fairy story. - Isn't life a fairy story?
0:51:11 > 0:51:15At work, I'm gruff Anthony Powell. That's just a pose.
0:51:15 > 0:51:18With you, I'm just a boy, dreaming.
0:51:18 > 0:51:22- Who are you supposed to be?- Huh?
0:51:22 > 0:51:26- Who are we?- Pygmalion and Galatea. - Who am I?
0:51:26 > 0:51:29- You're Galatea.- I'm Galatea!
0:51:29 > 0:51:36Pygmalion carved a statue from marble and it was so beautiful, he fell in love with it.
0:51:36 > 0:51:41His love brought the statue to life and they lived happily ever after.
0:51:41 > 0:51:45- Did they marry?- No! They didn't in those days.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48- That's terrible!- What's terrible?
0:51:48 > 0:51:53- They didn't marry.- She was a STATUE!- That's what's terrible.
0:51:53 > 0:51:58- It's just a story!- Look at the trouble...- It doesn't matter!
0:51:58 > 0:52:03You're getting hysterical. Besides, he had a wife and son. Harcourt!
0:52:03 > 0:52:06He should've thought of that.
0:52:06 > 0:52:09You're getting excited... The coat!
0:52:09 > 0:52:15- It's nothing to you, but it was something to her. He can't DO that! - You bet he can't!
0:52:15 > 0:52:18- Do something! - I will. You run along.
0:52:18 > 0:52:23Get some sleep. My lawyer will sort it out.
0:52:23 > 0:52:30- Sort what out?- Don't worry about a thing.- You're wonderful! - Harcourt's here.
0:52:30 > 0:52:37- He'll see you to your car.- You're wonderful!- Yes, I'm wonderful. The whole thing is wonderful.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39Whew!
0:52:45 > 0:52:50# Our penthouse on Park Avenue...
0:52:50 > 0:52:54# ..way in the midst of the sky...
0:52:54 > 0:53:00# ..it certainly seems rather high, it certainly is rather high. #
0:53:00 > 0:53:04You seem high yourself. You must've had a good time tonight.
0:53:07 > 0:53:13It was wonderful. The view was wonderful, supper was wonderful, I won 50,000,
0:53:13 > 0:53:17- Harcourt's wonderful.- Who's he?
0:53:17 > 0:53:20- What's his name?- You know your own?
0:53:20 > 0:53:24It'll be in letters that big! No, THAT big!
0:53:24 > 0:53:27- Yours or Harcourt's?- You said it!
0:53:27 > 0:53:30He's going to marry Galatea.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33Who is Galatea?
0:53:33 > 0:53:39She's a statue. Shouldn't have got married... But it'll be wonderful!
0:53:39 > 0:53:42Everything will be wonderful(!)
0:53:42 > 0:53:48- The view is wonderful. - You and Harcourt are wonderful. - You're wonderful.- Yes, yes.
0:53:48 > 0:53:53- Let me help you take off your things.- We're going to the wedding.
0:53:53 > 0:54:01- You'll be there?- I'll be there. - Harcourt's going to marry Galatea, and we'll all live together.
0:54:01 > 0:54:05- I feel terrible. - But isn't it wonderful(?)
0:54:05 > 0:54:10- Tomorrow, you'll have a hangover. That WON'T be wonderful.- Wonderful!
0:54:11 > 0:54:15How did you get into the theatre? How did any of us?
0:54:15 > 0:54:18I'm always a spectator!
0:54:18 > 0:54:21- What about you, Judy? - It started years ago.
0:54:21 > 0:54:27- I went to a circus and I saw a lady in pink tights. Was that you? - I don't like pink!
0:54:27 > 0:54:31- She was riding a white horse. - Sure it wasn't a cow?
0:54:31 > 0:54:34Look at me! No job, no pink tights!
0:54:34 > 0:54:38- Mr Powell's car calling? - It calls for me every night.
0:54:38 > 0:54:46I wondered. I saw him today with another young lady. But you've lasted much longer than I thought.
0:54:46 > 0:54:50- Is madame certain she isn't seeing things?- Quite certain.
0:54:50 > 0:54:56But you'll get a note saying he's been detained on business. He's very courteous that way!
0:54:58 > 0:55:01This is where I came in! Let's go.
0:55:08 > 0:55:13This'll be a great play. Actresses have begged to play Jeanette.
0:55:13 > 0:55:17It's one of the best parts ever written. That more restful?
0:55:17 > 0:55:20It makes ME uncomfortable.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23- I'll tell you about the play.- OK.
0:55:23 > 0:55:28It opens on Long Island. It's a beautiful spring day.
0:55:28 > 0:55:33Jeanette, your character, is upset. Her husband is leaving her.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36We ARE here to discuss the play?
0:55:36 > 0:55:39- Why do you ask?- I'm suspicious.
0:55:39 > 0:55:45- Don't you want to be a star? - In the proper circumstances. The couch is more comfortable(!)
0:55:48 > 0:55:55- Would you like your name... - In big letters? They must be big. Jean and I are used to that.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59- What?- You love her?- No! I was interested.- Oh.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02She's a pest now. Are you a lawyer?
0:56:02 > 0:56:05- No.- What has Jean to do with this?
0:56:05 > 0:56:10- Do you want this part? - How do you know I can act?
0:56:10 > 0:56:12Because I know.
0:56:12 > 0:56:17- You haven't seen me on stage.- Oh? - I haven't BEEN on stage.
0:56:17 > 0:56:23- Er...I saw you in my office. - I wasn't performing. - I know an actress when I see one.
0:56:23 > 0:56:28- How?- Ever stop asking questions? - I just like...- I'll do the talking.
0:56:28 > 0:56:33- This part needs emotion. - But I'm not an emotional person.
0:56:33 > 0:56:38- I'll mould you.- I don't want to be moulded. I act with my brain.
0:56:38 > 0:56:42- I'll mould you one...Harcourt! - DOORBELL
0:56:42 > 0:56:44Get the champagne. I'll get that.
0:56:44 > 0:56:47Do you mind if I answer the door?
0:56:53 > 0:56:59- How did YOU get here?- Have you got a woman in here?- Who wants to know?
0:56:59 > 0:57:03- Who has a better right? - Go back downstairs.
0:57:03 > 0:57:06- Don't shout!- I'M NOT.- Where is she?
0:57:06 > 0:57:10By what right do you come...
0:57:10 > 0:57:13- Oh, it's YOU.- Hello.
0:57:13 > 0:57:16- What IS this?- Exactly(!)
0:57:16 > 0:57:20- We were talking about a play. - On the floor?
0:57:20 > 0:57:25- What is this, a frame-up? - Darling, control yourself.
0:57:25 > 0:57:28Don't 'darling' me. Get up!
0:57:28 > 0:57:32- You go home. - When you hear what I've got to say!
0:57:32 > 0:57:36- We're signing a contract. - With champagne?
0:57:36 > 0:57:43I thought I loved you! But I see my mistake now. I only went out with you to spite Linda.
0:57:43 > 0:57:49- Yes, hide your face. You double-dealing, double... - I didn't know what I was doing.
0:57:49 > 0:57:53And you preach ideals(!) You and your grandfather!
0:57:53 > 0:57:56- That's enough!- And behind my back!
0:57:56 > 0:58:03Take your cape. I'll never borrow another thing, and don't try to borrow from me!
0:58:03 > 0:58:09- Don't cry AGAIN!- Hope you snakes are happy. And you, you reptile!
0:58:11 > 0:58:13Never mind.
0:58:16 > 0:58:20- What's funny?- Everything! - What she must think!
0:58:20 > 0:58:25- She's thinking what I want her to think.- Why? Why?
0:58:25 > 0:58:30- I like her.- She won't like you! - She'll see the light.
0:58:30 > 0:58:35- But your reputation! Aren't you a girl scout!- I use my brain.
0:58:35 > 0:58:38I wanted to show you I could act.
0:58:38 > 0:58:41- You're a faker.- We both are.
0:58:41 > 0:58:46- I am NOT.- You're a bigger faker than I am.- That's libel!
0:58:46 > 0:58:50Not if I can prove it. This is your son?
0:58:50 > 0:58:59- I...- If he is your son, he must be older than you. That has been used to advertise an academy for years.
0:58:59 > 0:59:04- How do you know?- My brother went there. And this lady, your 'wife',
0:59:04 > 0:59:08has done a lot of face-powder ads!
0:59:08 > 0:59:15- My friend, you have just broken up a VERY convenient marriage. - I think we understand each other.
0:59:17 > 0:59:22- What about the play?- Where were we? - Long Island.- The scene opens there.
0:59:22 > 0:59:25It's a beautiful day in spring.
0:59:25 > 0:59:30- Jeanette...- That's me.- Right. Jeanette is broken-hearted.
0:59:30 > 0:59:34She's losing her husband. Not the way I just lost MY wife...
0:59:36 > 0:59:39Ssssh. She's coming!
0:59:43 > 0:59:45Where is everyone? I don't know.
0:59:45 > 0:59:50I was told someone wanted to see me. We'd better put the lights on.
0:59:50 > 0:59:55EVERYONE SINGS # Happy birthday to you.
0:59:55 > 1:00:00# Happy birthday dear Ka-ay.
1:00:00 > 1:00:04# Happy birthday to you. #
1:00:04 > 1:00:07I've got to sweep all this up!
1:00:12 > 1:00:15Ann, it's for you, Ann.
1:00:25 > 1:00:28- I feel like crying.- Oh, no!
1:00:28 > 1:00:31No speeches here!
1:00:31 > 1:00:34Sit down, you're the guest of honour.
1:00:35 > 1:00:40- You got the years right. - We won't tell. - Make a wish. >
1:00:40 > 1:00:45- I'll get the lights. - Make a wish, but don't tell.
1:00:45 > 1:00:50Everyone knows what it is. It's coming true, I can feel it.
1:00:53 > 1:00:55She made it!
1:00:57 > 1:01:02- I hate to cut it. - Maybe you can't!
1:01:02 > 1:01:09- I resent that. Girls, I've wonderful news! - Maybe the house is on fire(!)
1:01:09 > 1:01:14- I've just talked to Terry Randall. - What's great about that?
1:01:14 > 1:01:19< She's going to play the lead part in Anthony Powell's new play.
1:01:19 > 1:01:23< I've only been coaching her for a short time.
1:01:23 > 1:01:26That's how she got it!
1:01:27 > 1:01:30Which play? His new one. "Enchanted April"?
1:01:30 > 1:01:33Yes. The part of Jeanette? Yes.
1:01:33 > 1:01:37You might change your opinion of Randall now.
1:01:37 > 1:01:42Perhaps you'll pay more attention to your training.
1:01:43 > 1:01:48Poor kid. We can't even have a party without Randall ruining it.
1:01:48 > 1:01:50Randall hasn't harmed anyone.
1:01:50 > 1:01:53But she looks ready to start!
1:01:53 > 1:01:58Olga's right. But she stole YOUR part.
1:01:58 > 1:02:04It wasn't mine. Last year I took a part from someone. This is different.
1:02:04 > 1:02:08It isn't different. There's enough pain without our hating each other.
1:02:08 > 1:02:14- You're crying.- Because I'm happy. I've had my moment in the theatre. Terry deserves hers.
1:02:14 > 1:02:19Saying something to her won't get me the part. There ARE other plays!
1:02:19 > 1:02:24It's my birthday today. The devil with the theatre!
1:02:28 > 1:02:32We'll take this scene again. Go ahead.
1:02:32 > 1:02:37"Here she is now." "What shall we say to her?"
1:02:37 > 1:02:42"She's probably broken-hearted. Let me talk to her."
1:02:43 > 1:02:46Miss Randall, this is your cue.
1:02:46 > 1:02:51- Are we rehearsing again? - You're to come in on CUE.
1:02:51 > 1:02:54Would you ask those men to stop?
1:02:54 > 1:02:59We find we need those men in the theatre, Miss Randall.
1:02:59 > 1:03:03If you'd listen and not contradict, you'd get better results.
1:03:03 > 1:03:06- Don't be rude.- Sorry! Do it again.
1:03:06 > 1:03:09Alright, don't get excited!
1:03:11 > 1:03:13Go ahead.
1:03:13 > 1:03:17"She's probably broken-hearted. Let me talk to her."
1:03:17 > 1:03:19- FLATLY - "Hello mother, hello dad.
1:03:19 > 1:03:24"The calla lilies are in bloom. A flower suitable for any occasion.
1:03:24 > 1:03:28"I carried them for my wedding, now I place them here."
1:03:28 > 1:03:31"He needs a thrashing." > "Poor child." >
1:03:31 > 1:03:36"Have you come..." There's still something wrong with that line.
1:03:36 > 1:03:41- Try reading it correctly. - It was only a suggestion.
1:03:41 > 1:03:47I've written some important plays. One won the Pulitzer prize. Have you written any plays?
1:03:47 > 1:03:53- You don't have to be a hen to know a bad egg.- The play is fine. I'll explain again.
1:03:53 > 1:04:01- This woman's husband is leaving, she's broken-hearted.- You told me to be light and sophisticated.
1:04:01 > 1:04:05On the SURFACE. Inside, your heart is broken.
1:04:05 > 1:04:10- You smile, but you're crying in your heart.- How do I do both?
1:04:10 > 1:04:15I refuse to watch my play being butchered. Mr Powell,
1:04:15 > 1:04:18may I put in MY two-cents' worth? >
1:04:18 > 1:04:22I have my Broadway reputation to consider.
1:04:22 > 1:04:27- What has that got to do with what we're talking about?- Miss Randall.
1:04:27 > 1:04:31Pay attention to the director.
1:04:31 > 1:04:35Well, what am I supposed to do?
1:04:35 > 1:04:38- DO AS YOU'RE TOLD. - Don't yell.- I AM.
1:04:40 > 1:04:43I...I...If I'm so bad, why did you hire me?
1:04:43 > 1:04:48Temporary insanity. Now do as you're told!
1:04:48 > 1:04:53- I...I...- DO IT!!- I'm doing it. The only thing is...
1:04:53 > 1:04:59- How long have you coached her? - A month.- To get THAT bad in a month!
1:04:59 > 1:05:02- I have a suggestion.- Anything!
1:05:02 > 1:05:05Could you see an older woman in the part?
1:05:05 > 1:05:12- I've got to get out of this contract. Where's Carmichael? - He should be here.- He is, now.
1:05:12 > 1:05:15REHEARSALS CONTINUE
1:05:15 > 1:05:18- How's it going?- I want out!
1:05:18 > 1:05:23- That's impossible.- Who is this client? Is he trying to ruin me?
1:05:23 > 1:05:26- I don't understand.- Listen to this.
1:05:26 > 1:05:33- Isn't she turning out well? - She's a rank amateur, as emotional as a fish, and she's a nuisance!
1:05:33 > 1:05:38She questions everyone. This play can't be anything but a flop!
1:05:38 > 1:05:41- Is that so?- Are you PLEASED?
1:05:41 > 1:05:47- It is my client's money. - But I'll pay you to let me out of the contract.- I'm sorry.
1:05:47 > 1:05:51Is your client in love with this girl?
1:05:51 > 1:05:55- I believe he is. - Takes all kinds to make a world.
1:05:55 > 1:05:59- Mr Powell!- Coming, coming!
1:05:59 > 1:06:04I can't understand him. He tells me to laugh AND cry... I don't know.
1:06:04 > 1:06:07That's plain. Now let's get going!
1:06:09 > 1:06:12SOFT ROMANTIC MELODY ON THE PIANO
1:06:14 > 1:06:19Is my dress fancy enough? For Randall's opening you should wear black.
1:06:19 > 1:06:23We got free tickets. To make sure SOMEBODY was there.
1:06:26 > 1:06:28"The night was growing old...
1:06:28 > 1:06:31..her shoes were full of feet."
1:06:31 > 1:06:38- Don't you like my dress? - Did your mother send it? - Yes, she makes all my clothes.
1:06:38 > 1:06:41- What are these? Pecans? - Just doo-dads.
1:06:41 > 1:06:45- Can I have 35 cents?- For what? - Terry's flowers.
1:06:45 > 1:06:50- Don't make me laugh. - Cough up! We need as much as possible.
1:06:50 > 1:06:55- I'll give a dollar for her funeral. - She loves to hate people.
1:06:55 > 1:07:00- Keep the change. - Wait a minute. - You just love to feud!
1:07:00 > 1:07:06We'll be late. We've got to get the flowers. I'm always a spectator.
1:07:06 > 1:07:10Cheer up. One day you'll be a sensation.
1:07:10 > 1:07:14I'll see you later. You're not coming to the opening?
1:07:14 > 1:07:17No, I'll catch the CLOSING.
1:07:17 > 1:07:22- D'you WANT her to flop? - I'd like to SEE it.
1:07:22 > 1:07:26- She's sore 'cos Terry took my boyfriend from her.- Boyfriend?!
1:07:26 > 1:07:32- Tired little boyfriend. - One day, we'll sort this out!
1:07:32 > 1:07:35Get me! Ain't I the one?
1:07:38 > 1:07:41Will you sew me in? You look very fancy.
1:07:41 > 1:07:45- I am.- You going alone? - No, I got a beau.
1:07:45 > 1:07:50- Who?- The butcher's helper, once I told him I had FREE passes.
1:07:50 > 1:07:52DOORBELL
1:07:52 > 1:07:57- That may be him. - This is your night. I'll get the door.
1:08:00 > 1:08:04- Hello.- Hello. It's raining. - Is that so?
1:08:04 > 1:08:07- It's kinda wet.- Rain usually is.
1:08:07 > 1:08:13- Say, Butch, meet some friends. - How did you know my name? - Same way you knew it was raining.
1:08:13 > 1:08:16Butch, I want to talk to you.
1:08:16 > 1:08:22Next time Hattie visits, could you slip some chicken in with her lamb? Girls, isn't he handsome?
1:08:22 > 1:08:28Some people do things like that for others. I think you should, too.
1:08:28 > 1:08:31- YOU come and get the meat.- I will.
1:08:31 > 1:08:34I saw you the other day,
1:08:34 > 1:08:37and you looked wonderful.
1:08:37 > 1:08:43- I won't turn my back on you! - Butch is great, he's promised us some chicken mixed with lamb.
1:08:43 > 1:08:48- I didn't promise.- Now, Butch! You promised!
1:08:48 > 1:08:50I'll do something for you one day.
1:08:50 > 1:08:54Butch, you got a friend? He says no!
1:08:54 > 1:08:59The..er..."The calla lilies are in bloom again.
1:08:59 > 1:09:02"A flower suitable for every occasion...
1:09:04 > 1:09:12"I carried them on my wedding day, and now place them here." Cue. "Are you gathered to mourn?..."
1:09:12 > 1:09:15- You need rest.- I can't remember!
1:09:15 > 1:09:20Of course you can't. Nobody CAN an hour before curtain time.
1:09:20 > 1:09:27- When you put your foot on stage it'll come back.- Suppose they don't?- They always do.
1:09:27 > 1:09:32- Tea?- No, I couldn't eat anything. - I'll leave it here.
1:09:32 > 1:09:36"The calla lilies..." I don't KNOW it! "The calla lilies"
1:09:36 > 1:09:40are in bloom, bloom, bloom. "Such a strange flower...
1:09:40 > 1:09:43"Useful..." When are they useful?
1:09:43 > 1:09:46I'll never remember. Kay!
1:09:48 > 1:09:51- You should be in bed.- No.
1:09:51 > 1:09:55- It's too exciting. - But I was coming to see you.
1:09:55 > 1:10:00Keep her cheerful, Kay. She's got first-night nerves.
1:10:00 > 1:10:04Kay, don't let her do any more rehearsing.
1:10:04 > 1:10:09- I'll sit on her. - It WOULD be raining as well!
1:10:09 > 1:10:14If I could get through that first speech. Would you mind watching?
1:10:14 > 1:10:20- "The calla lilies are in bloom again..."- May I make a suggestion? - I wish you would.
1:10:20 > 1:10:23The way you hold the flowers.
1:10:23 > 1:10:27I thought Jeanette would hold them like a child.
1:10:27 > 1:10:30- They never had a child...- I see.
1:10:31 > 1:10:35- Is that what the author means?- Yes.
1:10:35 > 1:10:43- And when she says "In memory of something that has died"...- You know this play?- It's not a play!
1:10:43 > 1:10:46It happened to someone I know.
1:10:46 > 1:10:49Darling, you mustn't do that.
1:10:49 > 1:10:53This is my night, too.
1:10:53 > 1:10:59You must give a great performance, no matter what happens.
1:10:59 > 1:11:05- Is something the matter? - I'm just excited. Sit down, I'll get you some tea.
1:11:10 > 1:11:13The condemned woman drank a hearty supper.
1:11:13 > 1:11:17I felt the same. Like hiding away.
1:11:18 > 1:11:23But after that opening speech, it's a thrill that only comes once.
1:11:23 > 1:11:27- Is it a thrill or agony? - It's both.
1:11:28 > 1:11:31Come, we'll have to hurry.
1:11:31 > 1:11:34It's opening night. Be quick.
1:11:34 > 1:11:38- Wish her luck, Kay. - Wish me luck!
1:11:39 > 1:11:42- Goodbye!- Terry!
1:11:44 > 1:11:49Take this. A girl gave it to me last year. It brought me luck.
1:11:50 > 1:11:53I wish you were going to be there.
1:11:53 > 1:11:56I'll be there, in spirit.
1:11:56 > 1:11:59- Are you coming? > - Well!
1:11:59 > 1:12:03PIANO PLAYING SOFTLY

1:12:49 > 1:12:52'Ready, Miss Hamilton?'
1:12:56 > 1:12:59'Standby, standby.'
1:13:01 > 1:13:06'Curtains. Ready, Miss Hamilton? This is your night.'
1:13:06 > 1:13:10HEARS TREMENDOUS APPLAUSE
1:13:12 > 1:13:18SHOUTS OF 'BRAVO' APPLAUSE GETTING LOUDER
1:13:23 > 1:13:26# Just give me a sailboat
1:13:26 > 1:13:30# in the moonlight
1:13:30 > 1:13:34# and you. # TERRIBLE SCREAM
1:13:34 > 1:13:36What was that?
1:13:38 > 1:13:44Kay! She jumped before I could stop her. Kay jumped?
1:13:44 > 1:13:47She's lying out there.
1:13:48 > 1:13:55Car 19. Go to 87 West 58th Street, ambulance call. Girl leaped out window. Possible suicide.
1:13:55 > 1:14:01DRAMATIC MUSIC CYMBALS, DRUMS AND TRUMPETS
1:14:14 > 1:14:16- Good evening, Mr Powell. - Good evening.
1:14:16 > 1:14:20- Full house? - They don't know what's in store.
1:14:20 > 1:14:24Looks like the boyfriend.
1:14:24 > 1:14:29- This is a bad place.- Why? - We'll get trampled as they run out.
1:14:29 > 1:14:33She isn't responsible for Kay's death.
1:14:33 > 1:14:37She is. It was Kay's part, but now it's too late.
1:14:37 > 1:14:42- Kay is dead.- Please. - Kay is dead.
1:14:42 > 1:14:45It's HER fault. She's made out of ice.
1:14:45 > 1:14:49- You must leave.- I'm leaving.
1:14:49 > 1:14:55I'll sit out there because Kay asked me to. For every line I'll say, 'That was Kay's line.'
1:14:55 > 1:14:58Every move, 'That was Kay's move.'
1:14:58 > 1:15:01Kay, who's lying alone in a morgue.
1:15:01 > 1:15:04I dare you to go on tonight.
1:15:08 > 1:15:11I'm not going on.
1:15:11 > 1:15:15- You've got to!- Why wasn't I told?
1:15:15 > 1:15:19I'd have given anything to stop this from happening.
1:15:19 > 1:15:23I'm not going on, and I'll tell them why.
1:15:23 > 1:15:30- Kay is dead. You had nothing to do with that.- I killed her.- There are 50 living people depending on you.
1:15:30 > 1:15:36This show may mean as much to them as it meant to Kay. The ushers, the cleaners.
1:15:36 > 1:15:39Each one demands that you go on.
1:15:39 > 1:15:45- That's theatrical tradition. - Hang tradition! I'm thinking of Kay.
1:15:45 > 1:15:49Then think of Kay. Don't let HER down.
1:15:49 > 1:15:55You've GOT to give the performance she wanted. You may bring her peace. KNOCK ON DOOR
1:15:55 > 1:15:58< Miss Randall, three minutes to curtain.
1:15:58 > 1:16:02All right. We're coming. We're ready.

1:16:34 > 1:16:40"Here she is now." > "What shall we say to her?" > "I don't know." >
1:16:40 > 1:16:44"She's probably broken-hearted. I'll talk to her."
1:16:52 > 1:16:56- FAINTLY: - "Hello mother, hello dad.
1:17:09 > 1:17:12"The calla lilies are in bloom again.
1:17:12 > 1:17:15"Such a strange flower.
1:17:16 > 1:17:19"Suitable to any occasion.
1:17:19 > 1:17:25"I carried them for my wedding, and place them here in memory of something that has died."
1:17:25 > 1:17:30"He needs a good thrashing." > "You poor child." >
1:17:30 > 1:17:33"Are you gathered here to mourn,
1:17:33 > 1:17:37"or here to bring me comfort?"
1:17:38 > 1:17:46"I've learnt something about love that I never knew before." That I never knew before.
1:17:46 > 1:17:49You speak of love when it's too late.
1:17:49 > 1:17:54Help should come to people when they need it.
1:17:54 > 1:17:59- Why are we always so helpful to each other when it's no use? - "My, darling."
1:17:59 > 1:18:04- Those are NOT the lines. - No, but it's the mood.
1:18:04 > 1:18:11This is my home. This is where I belong. Love was in this house once...
1:18:11 > 1:18:14..for me, it will always be here.
1:18:14 > 1:18:18- "You're not going to see him?" - "Yes, of course.
1:18:18 > 1:18:22"He's coming today to say goodbye."
1:18:22 > 1:18:25- FAINTLY: - To say goodbye.
1:18:25 > 1:18:30One should always listen closely when people say goodbye...
1:18:30 > 1:18:35..because sometimes, they are really saying farewell.
1:18:38 > 1:18:45Listen, I'm at the theatre. Get some photographers over here. This Randall girl's going over big.
1:18:45 > 1:18:50Hear the applause...? Wait till I tell you who she is. This is HOT.
1:18:50 > 1:18:54"Love comes back to its ancient dwelling."
1:18:54 > 1:18:58"The old, old love that we knew of yore."
1:18:58 > 1:19:01LOUD APPLAUSE
1:19:03 > 1:19:07Terry Randall...Footlights Club!
1:19:19 > 1:19:22- Come on! - Hold it.
1:19:25 > 1:19:29- They're calling for you.- Who is? - You're a success.
1:19:29 > 1:19:32Say something.
1:19:32 > 1:19:35VERY LOUD APPLAUSE
1:19:37 > 1:19:42I SHOULD thank you on behalf of the company.
1:19:42 > 1:19:48I am grateful for your applause. But I must tell you that I don't deserve it.
1:19:48 > 1:19:53I'm not responsible for what happened tonight.
1:19:53 > 1:19:58The person you should be applauding died a few hours ago.
1:19:58 > 1:20:04A young and brilliant actress who could no longer find a spot in the theatre.
1:20:04 > 1:20:09It was for HER more than anyone that I was able to go on.
1:20:09 > 1:20:13And I hope that wherever she is...
1:20:13 > 1:20:16..she knows and understands...
1:20:16 > 1:20:20..and forgives.
1:20:20 > 1:20:23APPLAUSE
1:20:27 > 1:20:30CHEERFUL VIOLIN MUSIC
1:20:45 > 1:20:48- Hello.- Like the show?- A bit heavy!
1:20:48 > 1:20:53- WHAT was that speech all about? - I don't know. But she's a sensation!
1:20:53 > 1:21:00I just found out that that guy with Carmichael is her FATHER. He's Henry Simms, the wheat king.
1:21:00 > 1:21:05- Wheat king. What a publicity stunt! - I'll spread it around. There he is.
1:21:05 > 1:21:09Carmichael, why so blue? We've got a hit!
1:21:09 > 1:21:17- Exactly(!)- I never doubted it. Introduce me...- This is... - Mr Simms, you didn't fool me.
1:21:17 > 1:21:22- This hasn't worked out as I hoped. - Cheer up! Think of your investment.
1:21:22 > 1:21:25Money! I could lose my daughter!
1:21:25 > 1:21:28Well, that's the price of success.
1:21:28 > 1:21:32Quick, send a basket of flowers to Randall's dressing room.
1:21:32 > 1:21:37- With wheat in it?- Never mind that! Ellsworth, just the man I wanted.
1:21:37 > 1:21:45- I put one over, didn't I? - The wheat king's daughter?- Yes. - That's not important.- I know.
1:21:45 > 1:21:52- She has a strange quality. Like that girl you brought out last year. - Oh, Hamilton?- Yes, Kay Hamilton.
1:21:52 > 1:21:58- Where's she now?- Oh, she's around. Don't forget Randall is ANOTHER Anthony Powell 'discovery'.
1:21:58 > 1:22:03My dear, you'll never know how good you were. You were simply wonderful.
1:22:03 > 1:22:07That wasn't ME. It was someone else.
1:22:07 > 1:22:12WE have to suffer to make the audience feel with us.
1:22:12 > 1:22:17Does someone have to DIE? Is that what the theatre demands?

1:23:04 > 1:23:10- She's gone.- Gone? I've got an office full of people and photographers.
1:23:10 > 1:23:16- Why didn't you keep her here? - She had an important engagement. - What about her CAREER?
1:23:16 > 1:23:23- It isn't my fault.- I build a star overnight and she runs out on me! Can you believe it?
1:23:23 > 1:23:28- What about these? - Oh, get them out of here.
1:23:28 > 1:23:30Wait a minute.
1:23:30 > 1:23:37Imagine! Take a woman out of a wheat-field and make her a star. Opening night! That's gratitude!

1:24:30 > 1:24:33It's a miracle! Mary Lou's got a part!
1:24:33 > 1:24:39- Where?- Bergen's new show. I'm so thrilled I could scream!

1:24:45 > 1:24:50- "Let's go up to Westchester." - Go on.- That's it.- That's it?
1:24:50 > 1:24:54Well, you should say: "Let's go UP to Westchester."

1:25:59 > 1:26:03Why she hated to go is a mystery!
1:26:03 > 1:26:08I know how she feels. This place is my HOME.

1:26:53 > 1:26:56Fancy taking an old hag out?...
1:26:56 > 1:27:02It's a feature of the Club. It's the chair Bernhardt sat in. I was in the company.
