Mr. Siegel.
:16:02
You have no idea
what an honour it is to meet you.
:16:07
I took my family to hear you sing
"Rigoletto" at the Met last year.
:16:12
- It was a great evening.
- You overwhelm me, Mr. Siegel.
:16:18
- That's beautiful.
- Are you related to Bugsy Siegel?
:16:24
- "Bugsy"? What do you mean?
- I beg your pardon.
:16:28
A bug is nothing.
The word has no meaning.
:16:32
A bug is a colloquialism.
It has no basis in reality.
:16:36
Insects include a wide variety
of living creatures.
:16:40
None of them can be called a bug!
:16:43
I certainly didn't mean
any offence, Mr. Siegel.
:16:48
Mind if I look around, Larry?
:16:51
- Do you mind if I call you Larry?
- All my friends call me Larry.
:16:57
- What brings you to L.A., Ben?
- Curiosity.
:17:01
A wonderful house. What do you
think of the Beverly Hills Hotel?
:17:06
- It's the best hotel in town.
- A bungalow or a suite?
:17:11
- A bungalow. Which do you have?
- I don't. You do. Bungalow 5.
:17:17
- I don't understand...
- I'm buying this house.
:17:20
- This house isn't for sale.
- Sure it is. Everything's for sale.
:17:25
- How much do you want?
- Mr. Siegel...
:17:30
- Ben.
- Ben...
:17:33
Why are you looking at me like that?
Are you going to hurt me?
:17:38
I would protect you
from anyone who tried to hurt you.
:17:42
Your voice makes life justifiable.
I'm just trying to give you money.
:17:47
- What did you buy it for?
- $35,000.
:17:51
But that was a few years ago.
I could probably get $40,000.
:17:55
It's not really a financial issue,
Mr. Siegel. Ben...
