:44:03
Don't worry. We'll get him a dresser.
:44:06
Mr Cook is almost what the bad fairy
promised Frank at his cradle.
:44:12
He's not too bad.
Gruff, but with a heart of stone.
:44:23
You smoke too much.
:44:25
That's obvious.
A whole pack since 10.30.
:44:29
Careful you don't catch cold.
:44:32
After every first dress rehearsal,
I always hope to catch pneumonia.
:44:37
It never works. Oh, for the peaceful
quiet of an oxygen tent.
:44:43
Mr Dodd, who is that tall, gloomy man
that hangs around backstage?
:44:50
Lucas, is that the name?
:44:52
Yes. General understudy.
Not much personality but competent.
:44:58
Well, excuse me for saying this,
but must he stay backstage?
:45:02
It seems to bother Frank.
:45:05
I'll watch him.
:45:07
Is Frank that insecure?
He's working well, in good humour.
:45:12
Don't you know what hides
behind that good humour?
:45:16
Certain men are very strange.
:45:19
Business couldn't be better,
wife and kids are fine,
:45:22
jokes with the boys at the club.
:45:25
The next day, he's hung himself
from the chandelier.
:45:29
Is that supposed to be
a picture of Frank?
:45:33
Yes and no.
:45:35
Frank doesn't like to make a remark
that might lose him people's regard.
:45:41
If anything has to be said
that might cause antagonism,
:45:46
well, that's my job.
:45:56
I hate to say this,
but I hired a good performer.
