1:14:04
Come in.
1:14:11
I brought you some hot soup, Tom.
1:14:14
Thank you.
1:14:16
You must get your strength back, you know.
1:14:19
- Why?
- Oh, you!
1:14:24
Let me do that.
1:14:26
You're still too weak, you'll cut yourself.
1:14:29
- Have you ever used one of those before?
- No, but I'll learn.
1:14:32
I'm a very fast learner.
1:14:35
Do you know I learned the whole part
of Mazeppa in just one week?
1:14:39
- You did?
- Yes.
1:14:41
And La Belle Hélène.
I learned all of Hélène in no time at all.
1:14:47
You learned those parts?
1:14:51
In case of emergency.
1:14:54
I knew how unreliable she was.
1:14:56
Let's be fair, Della.
She never missed a performance.
1:14:59
But the way she played them.
1:15:01
I mean, there was simply no excuse for it...
1:15:04
playing opposite an actor like you.
1:15:09
I've had a lot of experience.
1:15:13
I'd give anything to play
opposite an actor like you.
1:15:20
You know, Della,
you've changed in the last few weeks.
1:15:26
You've kind of grown up.
1:15:31
Of course, you are a little young
for those parts, but maybe...
1:15:34
I'm not as young as Mama says I am.
1:15:38
Or as you think I am, Tom.
1:15:44
I'm 20 years old.
1:15:49
I'm 43.
1:15:52
- Oh, you don't look it.
- Well, I feel it.
1:15:55
Look, Della, thank you for the soup
and the close shave.
1:15:59
Somebody has to play those parts,
and she's not here.
