:54:02
Your usual?
Uh-huh.
:54:04
I'll get it.
All right,
enough chitchat.
:54:06
Have you read
my new play?
:54:08
Great, isn't it?
Yes, it's very good.
:54:11
But David...
:54:14
Darling, I don't think
I should do another comedy.
:54:17
No, no, wait a minute.
:54:19
I've decided to do
the new Stewart play.
That? What part?
:54:24
Not the dull social worker
with the high dreams
and low heels.
:54:28
Yes.
It's drama.
No clothes, no sex.
:54:30
No fun!
I know.
:54:32
But it's a great chance for...
For good acting.
:54:35
And that colored angle
in it, it's absolutely
controversial.
:54:38
- What do you know
about controversy?
- Nothing.
:54:40
And I don't want to know.
:54:42
I only know it's a good script,
and they're not easy to find.
:54:46
Besides, l, I feel I need
something different,
a new experience.
:54:51
All right,
if you want a flop,
have it on your own time.
:54:54
I wrote my play for you.
I tailored it
to your every mood.
:54:58
I never wrote
better laughs
in my life!
:55:01
And you tell me
you want controversy.
Hmph!
:55:03
It may sound ungrateful,
after all you've done for me.
:55:07
You're right.
It is ungrateful.
:55:09
But then I never
expected gratitude.
:55:11
Personally,
I couldn't stand it.
:55:14
May I have
my property back?
:55:17
Of course.
:55:24
Good luck, David.
:55:25
I know
it will be a hit.
:55:28
It won't without you.
:55:31
It'll never be done.
:55:33
Under the circumstances
I think it's best
if I destroy this.
:55:37
What?
But Mr. Edwards...
:55:40
There goes my pride,
up in ashes.
:55:44
Well, good-bye.
:55:46
What...
:55:48
Just a theatrical
gesture.
:55:50
He never makes less
than six copies.
