:32:00
They want one guy
to dance with Clare Bennett.

:32:05
I see. They want a leading man.
:32:08
Wonder why they phoned us?
:32:12
They didn't phone us.
:32:14
- They phoned me.
- And then showed you the door.

:32:19
You don't rate me very high, do you?
They offered me an audition.

:32:25
To be Clare Bennett's leading man?
You?

:32:32
Gee, that's great.
Why, that's terrific!

:32:36
But what do you mean,
it's all cold?

:32:38
What would you have said
if they offered you a job without me?

:32:41
- Well, I'd...
- That's exactly what I said.

:32:43
I said, "Look, Mr. Matthews, we're a
team, and that's the way we stay."

:32:47
- You crazy...
- He gave me a lot of hot air about...

:32:49
...what a great opportunity it was,
but I said, "Wait a minute.

:32:52
We've been together five long years.
And five pretty tough years."

:32:56
Tough, but a lot of laughs
when you think back.

:32:59
You said it.
:33:01
Why, you half-witted...
:33:03
Turning down the chance of a lifetime
on account of me.

:33:06
Well, it isn't only a question
of you, it's...

:33:09
- It's a question of being on the level.
- What a guy. I know what I'd do.

:33:15
- Yeah?
- I'd get on that phone...

:33:17
...and tell him I'd take it.
But quick.

:33:20
Well, I wouldn't be any good
without you anyhow.

:33:23
You know you figure out
all the dance steps.

:33:28
I'm not leaving town.
I'll be around.

:33:32
You mean you're gonna
help me, Johnny?

:33:34
I'll figure out a routine for you
that'll kill them.

:33:37
What a guy. But this isn't
a sure job yet, Johnny.

:33:40
It's only a tryout. They want me
to watch the show...

:33:43
...and get up in that "Between You
and Me" number with Clare Bennett.

:33:47
She's wonderful in it.
:33:51
Have you seen it?
:33:52
Yeah. She's attractive, huh?
Close to?

:33:56
Attractive? She's the tops, Johnny.
You've never seen anything like her.
