:32:01
Personal appearances,
swimming events, diving exhibits,
:32:04
the H&R club wants you to go on
the duck shooting season,
:32:06
the Crystal Palace would like
to know if you could sing,
:32:08
and then there's
the chap here a minute ago,
:32:10
who's from the Daily Mirror.
:32:11
His paper
wants to sponsor a series
:32:12
of swim at beach resorts
offering eight pounds a week.
:32:15
Well, you didn't let him away,
did you? You accept it?
:32:19
No.
:32:20
Well, which offer did you accept?
:32:22
None.
You don't think for a minute.
:32:24
I'll let you fall
for any of these chicken feat.
:32:26
Eight pounds
to swim around the ocean.
:32:27
What kind of a future
is there to that?
:32:29
Future? Who's thinking about
the future?
:32:31
I am. Maybe you don't realize it,
:32:33
but you've struck gold, pay dirt.
:32:35
Those crowd who came last night,
:32:36
they didn't come to see me,
they come to see you,
:32:38
and I for one, intend to
see that you capitalize on it.
:32:42
What do you propose to do?
:32:44
I propose to stage a show.
Our own show, a water carnival.
:32:47
A water carnival?
Why not.
:32:48
It's something brand new.
:32:49
We get a tank
and we charge admission.
:32:51
Our own private ocean.
I can see it now.
:32:53
People flocking to see the
gorgeous mermaid from Down Under.
:32:56
I see something beautiful,
something graceful, a ballet.
:32:59
That's it.
A water ballet except the music.
:33:02
Just a moment.
:33:04
All these sounds
highly imaginative,
:33:07
but where would you
stage such an event
:33:10
and where can you find
a tank big enough
:33:12
for what you describe.
:33:13
The tank is already built
and waiting for us.
:33:15
Ever hear of
the New York Hippodrome?
:33:16
The Hippodrome?
:33:18
New York?
My dear boy, really.
:33:20
Three thousand miles away.
:33:22
Well, whatever. It's the
biggest tank in the world,
:33:24
the largest theater in the world.
:33:25
And the longest swim
in the world.
:33:26
Surely,
you must have been joking.
:33:28
How could we
get to New York City?
:33:31
Jimmy, it's a
wonderful idea, but...
:33:34
really, Dad and I couldn't pay
a trip to Liverpool, that alone.
:33:37
Who said anything
about you paying for this.
:33:40
Anybody who travels with Sullivan
:33:41
travels first class
all expenses paid.
:33:44
Look, I happen to know the owners
of the Hippodrome personally.
:33:47
Have a concession
when they run a little park.
:33:48
That Sherman would go
for this little idea in a second.
:33:51
But how could you
afford the fares?
:33:54
I thought you were, I mean...
:33:55
Broke? Perhaps.
But, Mr. Kellerman,
:33:58
I have such confidence
in this idea
