:08:17
- What, running out again?
- Hello, beautiful.
:08:20
You can't leave.
I found a backer for you.
:08:23
- He's coming up here.
- Who is he?
:08:25
He's an investing agent named Jenkins.
He wanted an interview with Fremont.
:08:30
- He has money to invest in a play.
- What kind of a straitjacket did he wear?
:08:34
I talked him out of working with Fremont.
I told him about you, Gordon.
:08:38
I gave him a copy of Hail and Farewell,
which he's reading this very minute.
:08:43
Too bad you made the appointment
up here.
:08:46
I don't know what to do.
If I stay, I may lose the cast.
:08:49
- If you don't, you'll lose your backer.
- But you must be here when he comes.
:08:54
- That may be Mr. Jenkins now.
- Man the pumps, boys.
:09:04
Just a minute.
:09:12
- Mr. Gordon Miller?
- In the flesh.
:09:15
- My name is Davis.
- Davis?
:09:18
Yes, the author of Hail and Farewell.
:09:22
Oh, well, this is a surprise.
:09:25
I guess I should have telegraphed you
I was coming.
:09:28
Not at all. Don't mind the room.
We were just cleaning up a bit.
:09:32
- I hope I'm not intruding.
- Certainly not.
:09:36
This is Miss Marlowe,
who's gonna star in your play.
:09:40
This is Mr. Binelli, my assistant.
:09:42
And this is Mr. Englund,
the brains of the organization.
:09:45
That'll give you an idea
of the organization.
:09:50
Well, I guess I'll go down and register.
:09:53
You intend to check in here?
:09:57
Well, before I do that, there's something
I'd like to talk to you about.
