1:24:13
Who is it?
1:24:16
May I come in?
1:24:19
Certainly, Mr DeWitt.
1:24:24
I expected to find this room
with a theatreful of people atyour feet.
1:24:28
- I'm lucky they didn't throwthings.
- Your performance was no surprise to me.
1:24:33
After the other day, I regarded it
as simply a promise fulfilled.
1:24:36
You're more than kind. But it's
still Miss Channing's performance.
1:24:40
I'm the carbon copy you read
when you can't find the original.
1:24:43
- You're more than modest.
- It's not modesty. I don't try to kid myself.
1:24:48
A revolutionary approach to the theatre.
1:24:51
- But if I may make a suggestion...
- Please do.
1:24:55
I thinkthe time has come
to shed some of your humility.
1:24:58
It is just as false not to blow your horn
at all as it is to blow it too loudly.
1:25:02
I don't think I've done anything
to sound off about.
1:25:05
We come into this world with our little
egos equipped with individual horns.
1:25:09
If we don't blowthem, who else will?
1:25:11
Even so... one pretty good performance by
an understudy, it'll be forgotten tomorrow.
1:25:19
It needn't be.
1:25:21
Even if I wanted to, as you say,
be less humble, blow my own horn,
1:25:28
how would I do it? I'm less than nobody.
1:25:32
- I'm somebody.
- You certainly are.
1:25:37
Leave the door open a bit... so we can talk.
1:25:45
After you change, if you're not busy
elsewhere, we could have supper.
1:25:49
I'd love to. Or should I pretend I'm busy?
1:25:53
Let's have a minimum of pretending.
I shall want to do a column aboutyou.
1:25:57
I'm not even enough for a paragraph.
1:25:59
Perhaps more than one. There's so much
I want to know. I've heard your story in part.
