:47:02
Put him at the head of the
table so he doesn't reach.
:47:05
Where shall I put the magician?
:47:07
Until he's paid he sits at the foot
of the table with the Cohans.
:47:11
- Starvation corner.
- And put the goulash at the head.
:47:14
Keep everything but the noodles and
syrup out of the reach of the Cohans.
:47:19
Noodles and syrup are just
enough to keep them alive.
:47:22
Anybody who owes me two month's
board bill I just keep alive.
:47:27
I don't have to wait on them.
:47:34
- Good evening.
- Good evening, madam.
:47:38
Oh, no, no, no.
From now on, this is your seat.
:47:43
- Oh, thank you.
- And you, master magician...
:47:46
...you sit over there with the Cohans.
:47:49
Madame, some day I hope you will give
me the pleasure of sawing you in half.
:47:55
I just heard today that Hammerstein
was bringing over the Scotch actor.
:48:00
Harry Lauder at 2500 bucks a week.
:48:03
Hammerstein's a great showman. A lot
of people have never seen a Scotchman.
:48:08
Take some goulash, Mrs. Cohan.
:48:11
Did you have that appointment
with that man about your booking?
:48:15
Oh, yes. He's gonna give work
to the act any day now.
:48:18
What happened to that Boston offer?
That was a mighty sweet proposition.
:48:22
Four weeks' guarantee, $300 a week,
and top billing.
:48:26
Well, we didn't take it.
You see, it just wasn't right.
:48:30
Any act that lays off as long as
you have, any offer's all right.
:48:34
- Butter?
- Thanks.
:48:36
We just thought we'd rest
a few more weeks.
:48:39
Yes, my brother's writing some new
material. We're just not ready to open.
:48:46
You're not fooling anybody.
:48:48
Everybody knows that you, Nellie and
Josie can get work anytime, any place.
:48:53
But nobody wants Georgie.
:48:55
He's made trouble in every theater
this side of San Francisco.
:48:58
You can't lay off just because every
manager in town has blackballed Georgie.
