:42:02
He wants to be a genuine success.
:42:04
What does he expect?
You know he's not the man he was.
:42:09
He mustn't be told that!
:42:12
Tell me, my dear,
:42:14
are you still going to marry him?
:42:19
I'll do anything in the world
to make him happy.
:42:22
He's a very lucky man.
:42:25
He's a very, very lucky man.
:42:29
I never thought we'd come to this.
:42:32
Here we have the star dressing room
without a dresser.
:42:36
Oh well, I guess we can put up
with it for one night.
:42:39
Fred, the stage manager.
:42:41
Come in, Fred.
:42:43
Like old times,
seeing you in this room again.
:42:46
What's on your mind?
:42:48
You've got 10 minutes, because
there's 20 other acts to follow.
:42:53
You're in a song first,
finishing up with a musical act.
:42:56
I'll ring down
after you fall in the drum.
:42:58
No, after I'm carried off
in the drum.
:43:00
Right you are. Thank you, sir.
:43:04
If anybody else says it's like old
times, I'll jump out the window!
:43:09
First the doorman,
then the call boy,
:43:12
now the stage manager.
:43:14
It's me, Postant.
:43:16
It's like old times seeing you here
again putting on your war paint.
:43:21
I'll be down
watching the other acts.
:43:24
Yes, like old times.
Only in those days you were drunk.
:43:29
I'm supposed to be funnier
when I'm drunk.
:43:31
Maybe, but you were killing yourself.
:43:33
You know, anything for a laugh.
How's the house?
:43:36
Packed. Every face card in Europe
is out there:
:43:39
Kings, queens, jacks...
:43:41
- Is Neville out there?
- Yes. Came up specially.
:43:45
And what a program!
:43:47
Take a look at that. Every star
in the business is appearing.
:43:51
It'll be something,
following all this talent.
:43:53
Don't worry. Tonight you'll
make them look like amateurs.
:43:57
That's all any of us are. Amateurs.
:43:59
We don't live long enough
to be anything else.
