:03:02
Please, impresario...
:03:04
...I read you what
the Russian critic, Yakubovich...
:03:07
...say about my interpretation
of Uncle Vanya.
:03:18
Very interesting. When did he say that?
:03:21
Just before he was shot.
:03:24
It is just like in America,
three and a half stars!
:03:28
And then, in the second act,
with 300 peasants doing the kazatsky.
:03:46
Excuse me, Mr. Gribble.
:03:52
Gordon, I wanna talk to you.
:03:54
Look, Joe, I never like to talk to
a hotel manager on a full stomach.
:03:58
This whole thing is a mess.
:04:00
If you're referring to that meal,
you're right.
:04:02
I knew this would happen.
I shouldn't have let you in this hotel.
:04:06
Joe, you mustn't be impatient.
I'll pay once I find backers for my show.
:04:11
After all, you can't shake suckers
out of your sleeve.
:04:15
Anyhow, I can't.
:04:29
Gordon, I'm in a terrible spot.
:04:31
Mr. Wagner, the supervising director,
is downstairs now, inspecting the books.
:04:36
Wagner? I thought he wasn't coming
for another two months.
:04:40
He walked in on me unexpectedly.
He'll discover your bill any minute.
:04:44
Twelve hundred dollars' worth of credit to
a shoestring producer. How will I explain it?
:04:50
If he finds out you're my brother-in-law,
it'll cost me my job.
:04:54
It was a business proposition.
:04:56
In return for a little credit
to me and 22 of my actors...
