1:32:04
since I'm a playwright and not
an oil-well operator, I was thinking...

1:32:08
I'm trying hard to follow you.
1:32:10
Instead of waiting until next season
to do Footsteps on the Ceiling,

1:32:13
which is in pretty good shape,
1:32:15
and if Margo can be talked into
going on tour with Aged in Wood,

1:32:19
we could put Footsteps
into production right away.

1:32:22
- I'm beginning to catch up.
- If we can cast it properly, that is.

1:32:26
Maybe get some younger actress? Someone
who'd lookthe part as well as play it?

1:32:31
- You've got to admit, it'd be a novelty.
- Now you're quoting Addison... or Eve.

1:32:35
Eve did mention the play, but in passing.
1:32:38
She'd never have the nerve
to askto play a part like Cora.

1:32:41
Eve would askAbbott to give her Costello.
1:32:44
I got the idea myself while
she was talking about the play.

1:32:47
- With gestures, of course.
- To write something

1:32:50
and have it realised completely.
For once, not to compromise.

1:32:55
Lloyd Richards, do not consider giving
that contemptible little worm the part of Cora!

1:32:59
- Now just a minute...
- Margo's not been exactly a compromise.

1:33:04
Playwrights everywhere would
give their shirts for that compromise.

1:33:08
Now just a minute...
1:33:09
Eve's disloyalty and ingratitude
must be contagious.

1:33:12
All this hysteria because
of an impulsive excited kid

1:33:16
and a professional
manure-slinger named DeWitt.

1:33:19
- She apologised, didn't she?
- On her knees, I've no doubt.

1:33:23
Very touching.
Very Academy of Dramatic Arts.

1:33:26
That bitter cynicism is something
you've acquired since you left Radcliffe.

1:33:30
That cynicism I acquired the day I
discovered I was different from little boys.

1:33:36
Hello.
1:33:38
Hi, Margo.
1:33:41
No, not at all.
1:33:44
Karen and I were just chatting.
1:33:50
Yes, I'm sure we can
and I'm sure we'd love to.

1:33:54
Right. 11.45ish.
1:33:58
See you then.
