You got a desk sergeant
who's a little cantankerous?
:09:04
Here's how we'll handle his case.
:09:27
Share it among you, friends.
Tell them where you got it.
:09:34
- You have a good beat for a writer.
- Fine, Frank.
:09:38
You ought to hear it with
an orchestra. It's good and lousy.
:09:42
- Wait outside for a second.
- I'm a little in the dark.
:09:47
Is it a musical spot,
a small part or what?
:09:50
It's the lead, Frank. The whole show
is built around this character.
:10:04
Well, didn't it speak for itself?
:10:07
He's probably been doing that
at dinner parties for ten years.
:10:11
Did it prove he's worth
risking $200,000 on?
:10:15
Did it prove he can carry a show?
:10:18
Be sensible. That guy's been
in the pickle since you were a kid.
:10:22
Someone took a chance with Laurette
Taylor in The Glass Menagerie.
:10:27
Bernie, what are you trying to prove?
We've got a good book, good music.
:10:32
Why can't you be satisfied
with a reliable, sober actor?
:10:36
He'll give you
a reliable, sober performance.
:10:40
That's not what people pay to see.
:10:43
- You fought me over Danelli.
- I think you were wrong.
:10:47
Instead of teaching an actor to box,
:10:49
you teach a punch-drunk fighter
to act.
:10:52
- He gave you a great performance.
- He gave us trouble, too.
:10:56
If there was a fight at the Garden,
he wouldn't show up.
