:17:00
They're perfect.
:17:03
My camera could easily
have a love affair with you.

:17:09
Don't you think it's
getting a little late?

:17:14
I don't suppose you'd like
to have dinner with me.

:17:17
Maybe. Sometime.
:17:20
I don't mean right away.
How about tomorrow?

:17:23
I'm sorry, but I don't like
to miss having dinner with the
children two nights in a row.

:17:28
I can understand that.
How about lunch?

:17:32
Lunch?
:17:34
Would you mind taking me
to Rodney's?

:17:37
It's a little place
on 45th and 8th.

:17:40
Unemployed actors
can afford it.

:17:42
Sort of a poor man's 21.
:17:44
All right, I'll meet you
there at noon.

:17:50
Oh, by the way,
the name's Steve.

:17:56
Everybody in here an actor?
Just about.

:17:58
So far you're the only one
I really believe.

:18:01
Thank you. Only so far,
you're the only one
in New York who does.

:18:05
But someday I'm going to
make them all feel that way.

:18:08
Aren't you a little late
getting started?
I mean, it's...

:18:13
Yes, five years late.
That's why every day counts.

:18:17
Why the five-year lapse?
My husband was
in the theater too.

:18:21
A director.
A good director.

:18:25
Everything I know
I owe to him.

:18:27
It was a small town,
a little theater,
but professional.

:18:31
When he died,
I had to make a living
doing something else.

:18:35
I never really wanted
anything but the stage.

:18:38
Oh, except Susie.
:18:40
So, it took me five years
to save enough money
to come to New York.

:18:43
But you did it.
Mm-hmm.

:18:45
And I'm going to be an
actress, an important one...
Lora?

:18:48
Lora.
Oh, excuse me.

:18:50
Nothing in it for me,
honey,

:18:53
but they're
beginning to cast a new
Tennessee Williams play.

:18:56
Oh, what agent?
Allen Loomis... today.

:18:59
So put on
your roller skates.
Oh, thanks, Fay.
