1:21:00
I don't expect any.
I'm only warning you. Get rid of me.
1:21:05
Let me go back to New York.
1:21:08
So you can tell the boys you quit
because the part wasn't big enough?
1:21:14
Oh, no. If you leave this show,
it'll only be for one reason.
1:21:19
Because I fire you for being
an unreliable, slobbering drunk.
1:21:24
I know a lot of people who hire
actors. That's what I'll tell them.
1:21:29
It's not just this performance.
1:21:31
I can do a show for you. I've gone on
when I can hardly stand up.
1:21:36
It's not when I'm out there
that it's bad.
1:21:40
This is a matinée in Boston. If I do
this in New York, where are you?
1:21:44
- Where are you?
- You talk as if I do it on purpose.
1:21:48
I can't help it, Bernie.
1:21:53
In between shows and at night,
when I start thinking about it...
1:21:58
You mean the accident?
Georgie told me about it.
1:22:02
- It hasn't been easy.
- Why didn't you tell me about it?
1:22:06
- I don't know.
- You knew I wouldn't buy it.
1:22:10
I don't buy it. A crazy wife.
Yes, you knew I had one.
1:22:13
- It was an accident.
- It was a crutch.
1:22:16
You were getting older, beginning
to slip. You looked for excuses.
1:22:21
The accident was an excuse.
1:22:23
Everybody expects a guy to take that
pretty hard. You used it to the hilt.
1:22:29
- No, Bernie.
- I'm right, and you know it.
1:22:33
You're sure of yourself. You don't
know what it means to be afraid.
1:22:39
You're on top of the heap.
1:22:41
Everything's good for you, but wait
till you've had a couple of flops
1:22:45
and people stop talking about you.
1:22:48
You'll get afraid
and look for excuses.
1:22:51
I'm not blaming you. Just stop lying.
1:22:54
Sure, everybody thought
it was because of the accident.
1:22:58
That's what I wanted them to think,
because I was afraid.
