:28:02
Do you have $ 750
kicking around loose?
:28:04
- I thought a manager takes care of that.
- For you?
:28:07
They never heard of you.
:28:09
They'd put you on, sure.
Only you pay.
:28:12
What does he do, pat me
on the back and pick my pocket?
:28:15
Who goes to debuts?
Relatives and enemies.
:28:18
You need connections
to get people to come.
:28:21
A manager supplies
the audience. If he's good...
:28:23
...he'll get a couple of critics
to hear you. That's important.
:28:27
My playing. Doesn't that mean anything?
:28:29
Sure, you fill the lull
between intermissions.
:28:32
What are you gonna play on? Can't play
a concert on a cut-rate instrument.
:28:36
You need a Strad or Guarnerius.
Do you have a spare 25G's to buy one?
:28:40
I studied ten years, practiced
till my hands feel like wood. For what?
:28:44
Don't give me any of that.
You should've told me this years ago.
:28:48
You weren't good enough ten years ago.
:28:50
You still thought music
was all moonlight.
:28:52
You play the piano.
What have you done?
:28:54
It's what you don't become that hurts.
:28:57
Idealism is a luxury for the very young.
:28:59
You're full of lectures.
You know all the answers.
:29:03
- You give me a pang.
- Don't get sore at me.
:29:05
- I didn't make the world.
- You're always giving out with advice.
:29:09
You ought to mind your own business.
:29:12
I didn't ask you to play for me.
That was your idea.
:29:15
- You wanted my opinion? You got it.
- I asked for an opinion, not a sermon.
:29:19
You have all the characteristics
of a successful virtuoso.
:29:22
You're self-indulgent
and the hero of all your dreams.
:29:25
You ought to dream yourself.
It might make you less cynical.
:29:29
When I look at you,
I know what I wanna avoid.
:29:31
One of us is offensive.
Why don't you blow.
:29:41
Tchaikovsky. Couldn't have
happened to a nicer fellow.
:29:46
What do you want it on,
whole wheat or rye?
:29:48
Okay, we're both crazy.
:29:51
- Where do we go from here?
- How about a party?
:29:53
- Fine, send down for a couple beers.
- I mean the real thing.
:29:56
- Hear of the Wrights?
- They invented the airplane.
:29:59
Helen and Victor Wright?
It's hard to avoid them.
