:22:02
Perhaps my experience
will be of value to others...
:22:05
just as I pore over with relish
the notes of my idols:
Chekov and Strindberg.
:22:09
Rehearsals began promptly
at 10:00 a.m.
:22:13
Warner Purcell was first to arrive
full of bonhomie and good humor.
:22:17
- Good morning!
- Warner Purcell.
Hello, I'm David Shayne.
:22:20
- Oh, David, how marvelous
to meet you. Well done.
- Thank you.
:22:23
- It's a wonderful play.
Some lovely speeches.
- I'm honored you're doing it.
:22:26
- It's my pleasure.
- Our stage manager, Mitch.
:22:29
- Mitchell Sabine.
I'm here if you need anything.
- Mitchell, nice to meet you.
:22:31
- That's fine.
- And you're gonna be
in dressing room two.
:22:34
- Lovely.
- And this is my assistant, Lorna.
:22:36
- Pleased to meet you.
- Lorna, nice to meet you.
:22:39
We have coffee and Danish,
some smoked salmon.
:22:42
Um, Mitchell, would it be
frightfully tiresome if I just
had hot water and lemon?
:22:46
- Not at all.
- Thank you.
:22:48
- And of course you know Julian Marx.
- Oh, Julian, yes.
:22:51
- Our swords have crossed.
- Warner, you look wonderful.
:22:53
- And yourself.
- [ Woman Giggling ]
:22:56
[ David ] Eden Brent, who plays
the other woman, arrived second.
:22:59
She has
a wonderful vivacity.
:23:01
[ Giggles ] Good morning! Good morning!
Don't get up. Don't get up.
:23:05
- I have first-day-rehearsal
presents for everybody.
- How thoughtful.
:23:08
It's nothing. Just some soap and some
potpourri and incense for you, I think.
:23:13
- Now, have you met Mr. Woofles?
- No. No.
:23:16
- Oh, don't pull such a sour face.
- Hello, Mr. Woofles.
:23:19
Oh, be careful.
She's a Chihuahua...
:23:21
but there's a pinch of Doberman in her
so sometimes she goes for your throat.
:23:25
- Just kidding.
- [ Laughs ]
:23:28
- I think you've met
everyone here. Lorna.
- We talked on the telephone.
:23:31
I don't know if you've met
our Lieutenant Masters, Warner Purcell.
:23:34
- Oh, pleased to meet you.
- How was your crossing?
:23:37
- Well, I came over
five years ago, but it was lovely.
- [ Giggles ]
:23:40
Now, my darling, do you want
some milk or something to eat?
:23:44
- I'll get her a saucer.
- You don't have to bother with
that because I breast-feed her.
:23:48
- Just kidding, everybody.
- [ Laughing ]
:23:52
- Please.
- Julian, nice to see you.
:23:54
- How are you?
- Mr. Marx.
- Yes, of course.
:23:56
I'm in the middle, yes?
:23:59
- [ David ] Should we take the dog--
- No, no, no, no, no.
