:27:00
Do you always sing like that?
:27:02
Like what?
:27:03
The way you sang just now.
:27:06
Why?
:27:08
I've never heard anybody sing
just the way you do.

:27:12
What do you mean? Good or bad?
:27:16
Here.
:27:26
You ever go fishing?
:27:29
Well, do you like prizefights?
Ever watched a great fighter?

:27:34
I'm trying to tell you how you sing.
:27:37
Do you mean like a prizefighter or a fish?
:27:40
Look.
:27:43
Here.
:27:47
There are certain pleasures that you get...
:27:56
There are certain pleasures you get,
little jabs of pleasure...

:28:00
...when a swordfish takes the hook,
or when you watch a great fighter...

:28:03
...getting ready for the kill, see?
:28:06
You don't understand a word I'm saying,
do you?

:28:09
No, not yet. Why don't you try bullfights?
:28:11
You're joking, but that's exactly
what I mean.

:28:13
You'd know a great bullfighter
the moment he stepped into the ring.

:28:18
From the way he stood,
from the way he moved.

:28:21
Or a dancer. You don't have
to know about ballet.

:28:25
That little bell rings inside your head...
:28:29
...that little jolt of pleasure.
:28:32
That's what happened to me just now.
:28:36
You're a great singer.
:28:38
Who, me?
:28:39
Hasn't anyone ever told you that before?
:28:43
No, Mr. Maine,
no one's ever told me that before.

:28:45
Maybe you're not quite as sober
as we both thought you were.

:28:48
But, thank you.
:28:50
I'm as sober as a judge
and I know exactly what I'm saying.

:28:53
You've got that little something extra
that Ellen Terry talked about.

:28:58
Ellen Terry, great actress
long before you were born.
