Your kids and I, we both liked our -
liked? - loved our parents.

:14:07
Am I getting in the way here? I'm sorry.
I burst in here hysterical... blood...

:14:12
No. No, no. No, no, no, please.
No, please. Please. Sit down.

:14:15
Tell us about our children.
:14:18
Three. Two at Harvard,
and a girl at Groton.

:14:22
- How is Harvard?
- Well, fine. It's just there.

:14:26
Everyone's in a constant
state of luxurious despair

:14:29
and constant discovery and paralysis.
:14:32
- We asked him where home was.
- "Out West" he said.

:14:35
Although I've lived all over.
My folks are divorced. He's remarried.

:14:40
- Actually, he's doing a movie.
- He's in the movies?

:14:43
- He's directing this one, but he does act.
- Really? Um...

:14:48
- What's he directing?
- Cats.

:14:53
- Someone is directing a film of Cats?
- Don't be snooty.

:14:56
- You've seen it? TS Eliot?
- (Flan) Yes, years ago.

:14:59
It was a benefit for some school...
or disease... What?

:15:03
- They can't make the movie of Cats.
- Of course they can.

:15:06
They're going to try.
My father'll be here, auditioning.

:15:09
Cats?
:15:12
- He's going to use people.
- What a courageous stand.

:15:16
- They thought of animation...
- Animation would be nice.

:15:20
But he found a better way. As a matter
of fact, he turned it down at first.

:15:24
He went to tell the producers the reasons
why you couldn't make a movie of Cats.

:15:29
And in going through the reasons why you
couldn't, he suddenly saw how you could.

:15:34
Eureka in the bathtub. How wonderful!
:15:39
May we ask who?
:15:42
And it was then we pulled up -
ever so slightly - pulled up closer.

:15:47
And he told us.
:15:48
He named the greatest
black star in movies. Sidney...

:15:52
No names! No names! We're trying
to keep this abstract. Plus, libel laws.

:15:57
Sidney Poitier. There. I don't care!
You have to have truth!
