:25:00
But there's a limit. I'm not putting
her on tonight or any other night.
:25:04
- But you're stuck. You ain't got Fulton.
- Yeah. Why?
:25:08
Why should he walk out on me?
:25:10
He got in too deep with the gambling.
The poor slob didn't have it.
:25:15
Well, how come the poor slob
has it to go to Florida, huh?
:25:19
What are you asking me?
Frobisher, she'll be a sensation.
:25:22
To who? Whoever heard of her?
Who will come to see her?
:25:25
- You wanna close my club?
- Are you kidding?
:25:28
You know the contacts I got.
:25:29
People who would be a credit
to the finest nightclubs.
:25:32
They'll spend, they'll clap,
you'll make a fortune.
:25:37
On the other hand, Frobisher...
:25:40
...maybe I got you all wrong.
:25:42
Maybe you don't wanna oblige
a close, personal pal.
:25:52
Come in.
:25:55
- How do I look?
- Top of the world.
:25:57
Oh, here it is, Johnny.
The chance I've been waiting for.
:26:00
But you made sure
it wasn't too long a wait.
:26:03
You bet I did. I'm in a hurry.
:26:06
And I was right.
I told you he'd help me.
:26:09
Ruth, get rid of him.
:26:11
Get rid of him now.
It's not gonna be worth it.
:26:13
I don't know
what you're talking about.
:26:16
- Why shouldn't I have a manager?
- A manager? Don't lie to yourself.
:26:19
If you're going ahead with this,
at least don't lie to yourself.
:26:23
But don't go ahead with it.
You don't have to.
:26:26
Yes, I do.
:26:28
I've tried it without help.
I didn't mind it being hard, Johnny.
:26:32
I just minded that it didn't work.
:26:34
Then let me help you.
:26:36
I'll get you to the right people,
and they'll want you.
:26:39
They won't have to be
strong-armed or blackmailed.
:26:42
They'll want you because you're good.
Oh, try it, Ruth. Try it that way.
:26:47
Johnny, so many guys
have wanted to help me.
:26:49
And they've all been
on the make, just like him.
:26:53
I suppose you're the one
who's different.
:26:56
That's right.
:26:59
And I mean it.
But get yourself free, Ruth.
