:35:12
no sex
:35:17
it's a gentlemen's agreement
:35:40
rotten, eh?
:35:40
listen my dear girl,
when it comes to playwriting you don't know your...
:35:45
your dear little ellbow
from a barrel of flour
:35:47
the third act is marvellous.
I've never written anything better.
:35:50
it's rotten
:35:51
fortunately I know that intellectually you're still in rompers
:35:57
you should have realized by now, my dear,
that I hate stupidity masquerading as criticizm
:36:00
rotten
:36:01
so I've had enough of that.
you're ruining me, you're ruining my work
:36:05
you're just being cheap and malicious
:36:07
rotten
:36:09
very well, it's the last time you're going to tell me that
:36:14
good bye my dear
:36:29
I beg your pardon
:36:30
forgive me for entering unannounced
:36:32
- Mr Douglas is very busy
- so they were kind enough to tell me downstairs
:36:35
Mr Douglas, I consider you
the greatest theatrical producer in London.
in fact, in the world
:36:40
my dear lady,
what precisely do you want?
:36:43
- well I've read your list of productions
for the next London season.
- yes?
:36:45
they're very bad.
but believe me, there's no need for you to despair
:36:49
the situation isn't entirely black, Mr Douglas
:36:51
- have you ever heard of a playwright called Thomas Chambers?
- no
:36:54
- you've never read a play called "Goodnight Bassington"?
- heavens, no! never!
:36:58
well here it is
