1:19:01
to portray the beachcomber in this thing.
1:19:03
- Wait a minute. Not so fast there.
- Now, Larry.
1:19:06
ln the first place, if l consent
to play this part, and l don't say l will...
1:19:10
it will have to be built up.
1:19:12
Built up? The fellow's got one scene...
1:19:15
and they find him dead on the beach.
1:19:17
This isn't a play about spiritualism.
1:19:20
Don't forget, l'm Larry Renault.
1:19:22
- Larry, for heaven's sake!
- Shut up!
1:19:23
Now, listen, Stengel.
l'm a name, and l know it, and so do you.
1:19:28
And l'm not going on to play
second fiddle to any cheap English ham.
1:19:32
$8,000 a week. That's what l got,
and l was going to get $10,000...
1:19:36
till the talkies came in.
1:19:38
So don't think you're doing me a favor
by asking me to play in your ratty show...
1:19:43
because l'm doing you one.
1:19:45
l think maybe we're keeping you
from your dinner, Mr. Renault.
1:19:48
- Joe, he doesn't mean
- Yes, l do!
1:19:50
And just because it's Mr. Joe Stengel,
it don't mean a thing to me.
1:19:54
l'm still good, better than l ever was.
1:19:57
Good night, Mr. Renault.
1:19:59
Listen to me, old-timer.
l'm drunk, and l know l'm drunk...
1:20:03
but l know what l'm talking about.
1:20:06
For heaven's sake, Mr. Stengel.
1:20:08
lt's all right. l'll see you tomorrow.
1:20:09
l wouldn't be in your rotten show.
Not Larry Renault. You know why?
1:20:13
Because l'm an important artist,
and you're a cheap pushcart producer.
1:20:19
Pushcart!
1:20:44
You cockeyed, drunken fool.
l bring him up here.
1:20:48
l go down on my hands and knees to do it.
And you! You....
