:26:23
Well?
:26:25
- What'd you think?
- Coffee?

:26:28
Look, I asked you a simple question.
:26:30
Sugar?
:26:35
You want me to blow kisses
and shout bravo?

:26:37
- You sound promising.
- Thanks, that's a crushing compliment.

:26:40
From now on, you can sign
your letters, "Paul Boray, fiddle player."

:26:44
- I have spoken.
- Cut the gags. What'd you really think?

:26:47
Little too brash, a little over-brilliant.
You need more restraint.

:26:51
- You didn't like it?
- It's not important if I like it.

:26:55
- The idea is for other people to share it.
- That's right. For once, we agree.

:26:59
The point about an artist is the sound
he makes, the personal sound.

:27:02
It's his own sound like no one else,
on a piano, a violin, on any instrument.

:27:07
That's communicated
between artist and audience.

:27:09
That's what you call personality.
If he's got that, nothing matters.

:27:13
If he doesn't, he might as well quit.
:27:18
- You might have it.
- Then you think I'm terrific?

:27:21
- You took the words out of your mouth.
- Am I ready for concerts?

:27:25
- Sure.
- That's all I wanna know.

:27:27
- Where you gonna play?
- I'll talk to them down at the school.

:27:30
Rozner likes me,
he'll put in a good word.

:27:33
Wait a minute. Take a look at this.
:27:43
Here's a list of this week's concerts.
There must be hundreds of them.

:27:47
There's pianists, violinists,
sopranists, tuba players.

:27:50
All kinds of virtuosos.
You know what you're up against?

:27:53
- What's that got to do with me?
- Want a debut?

:27:55
You'll need a hall, tickets, a couple
of posters, some ads, publicity.

:27:59
Let's say $ 750 will do it.
