:29:00
Mr. Matthews, here.
Let me do that, sir.
:29:02
I wouldn't have had
this happen for anything.
:29:05
I think we'd all be more comfortable
if you just sat down.
:29:08
Yes, sir, thank you.
:29:10
Well, one thing about a little water,
it never does any harm.
:29:17
Shaw, Mr. Casey tells me
you're a good dancer.
:29:20
Yeah? Well, I can't argue with him
about that.
:29:23
If you're as good as he says, we may
be able to use you in our next show.
:29:27
You'd be making no mistake.
Johnny and I did a specialty act...
:29:30
...in a musical show in Kansas City.
We did three minutes in one.
:29:33
- Stopped the show cold.
- I don't doubt it.
:29:35
If my partner were here,
we could do it.
:29:37
- I'm not interested in your act.
- It's great.
:29:39
And I'm not interested in your partner.
This is a one-way deal.
:29:44
- No team, huh?
- Nope.
:29:46
You see, we're looking
for a new personality...
:29:49
...a leading man for Miss Bennett.
:29:53
Me? Dance with Clare Bennett?
:29:55
That was the idea.
:30:03
Mind standing up for a minute?
:30:05
I want to see how your height
would be with Miss Bennett.
:30:11
Yeah. Before we go any further,
I want to see you dance.
:30:14
- Have you caught Miss Bennett's show?
- No, sir.
:30:17
Go see it. There's a number called
"Between You and Me."
:30:19
If you think you can do it, I'll try you out
Saturday night after the show closes.
:30:24
Gosh, that would be great.
:30:27
- But...
- What's the matter?
:30:29
- Nothing, Mr. Matthews, nothing.
- Still worried about your partner?
:30:33
A lot of partners in the theater
have outgrown each other.
:30:38
- Do you hear me, Shaw?
- Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
:30:41
I guess you're right, Mr. Matthews.
A guy's got to look out for himself.
:30:45
Well, it's up to you.
Take it or leave it.
:30:49
I'll take it.
:30:56
Hey, where you been?
:30:57
To every agent and manager in town,
but I've got a perfect record.
