Here's a coffee, Bernie.
:01:51
Coffee, Mr Cook?
:01:59
Let's discuss it. Don't pout as if
I'd just taken away your tricycle.
:02:04
I'm not pouting. I just disagree.
:02:07
But Frank Elgin?
Let the doorman read for the part!
:02:10
Phil, we've been in rehearsal
for five days.
:02:14
Our leading man was dreadful. Maybe
I was the wrong director for him.
:02:19
We let him go yesterday.
We do not have a replacement.
:02:24
We open in Boston on the 28th.
We are in trouble.
:02:27
- I can do without the sarcasm.
- Let me audition him for you.
:02:33
Phil, there's no harm
in giving the man a reading.
:02:37
I agree with you, but when
I wanted to read Ray Watson,
:02:41
that was a waste of time,
and he's a better actor than Elgin.
:02:45
A lot of guys can act or sing better,
but nobody can do both as well.
:02:51
- What about Billy Hertz?
- He's pompous.
:02:54
This isn't Student Prince
or Blossom Time.
:02:57
The guy has to act while he's singing
and sing while he's acting.
