:32:00
Is there anything more I should know
about your fascinating life?
:32:03
There must be more.
:32:05
There is. A whole scrapbook full.
:32:10
Come in.
:32:13
Well, have you had enough,
as the Republicans used to say?
:32:17
You know about as much about me now
as I do myself.
:32:22
But you see how long it's taken me
to get this far.
:32:27
Now, all I need is just a little luck.
:32:30
What kind of luck?
:32:34
The kind of luck that every girl singer
with a band dreams of.
:32:38
One night a talent scout
from a big record company will come in.
:32:42
And he'll let me make a record.
:32:44
Yes, and then?
:32:46
The record'll become No. 1
on the hit parade.
:32:49
Be played on the jukeboxes
all over the country and I'll be made.
:32:55
End of dream.
:32:57
- There's only one thing wrong with that.
- I know. It won't happen.
:33:00
No, it might happen very easily.
Only the dream isn't big enough.
:33:07
How long will you be playing at the Grove?
:33:10
Tonight was our last night.
We leave for San Francisco in the morning.
:33:15
Don't go.
:33:17
What?
:33:18
Quit. Leave the band. Stay on here.
:33:21
Let me see what I can do for you.
:33:23
I'll talk to Oliver Niles right away.
:33:25
It's just a chance, but take it.
:33:28
A chance?
:33:30
Do you realize I'd be giving up everything
I ever worked for?
:33:33
That's right. But it served its purpose.
Listen to me, Esther...
:33:38
...a career is a curious thing.
Talent isn't always enough.
:33:41
You need a sense of timing,
an eye for seeing the turning point...
:33:45
...or recognizing the big chance
when it comes along and grabbing it.
:33:49
A career can rest on a trifle.
:33:53
Like us sitting here tonight.
:33:55
Or it can turn on somebody's saying
to you:
:33:58
"You're better than that.
You're better than you know."
