:50:03
Why don't you and Mom and Josie
take other offers in the meantime.
:50:07
Well, I hate to see the act split up,
but if you think so.
:50:11
Oh, sure. Play all that stuff
around Chicago for Sullivan.
:50:14
- The money's good. The jumps are short.
- Good idea. You get tired resting too long.
:50:21
But it won't be the same going back
on the road without you, Georgie.
:50:25
We'll be like a carriage
with only three wheels.
:50:28
But you will admit I was a bumpy wheel.
You'll roll along easier without me.
:50:33
- No, Georgie, no.
- You will.
:50:34
If there's a part for a bicycle rider, I
used to be known as "venus on Wheels."
:50:40
I always knew you weren't a cook.
:50:53
- How's everything going, George?
- Not so good. Not so good.
:50:57
I've been pounding the pavement
so long my socks have bunions.
:51:00
- Mac, would you put a head on that?
- You bet I will.
:51:04
The villain turns and says:
:51:05
"I'll tell who you are unless
you help me hold up this train."
:51:09
Think fast. It's due in 10 minutes.
You'll have the audience standing.
:51:14
I know, I know. The hero helps him.
Gets shot in the leg.
:51:18
- And the girl nurses him back to health.
- No. He gets shot in the arm, not the leg.
:51:24
- Do you know what happens?
- I won't be in the theater to find out.
:51:28
I will be on the street watching
a musical comedy.
:51:32
Before I put $ 10,000 into a show...
:51:34
...it must have songs, dances,
and a lot of girls.
:51:41
Women, women. Little rose petals.
:51:45
The big scene is where the hero saves
the girl from a burning forest fire.
:51:49
It won't be terribly expensive.
I know where I can get a cheap fire.
:51:53
You don't need much of a fire.
Just enough to burn that manuscript.
:51:57
- I've been looking all over town for you.
- What?
