1:11:00
Well, I've been wanting to extend
my range as an actress.

1:11:04
And I've always dreamed of studying
at the Actor's Studio.

1:11:16
It takes a lot of courage
1:11:17
for those who are already functioning
professionally to come to work here.

1:11:22
Unfortunately,
1:11:23
you have already acquired
many odd habits and mannerisms

1:11:27
which you now have to unlearn.
1:11:31
I recommend private lessons
in my study perhaps three times a week.

1:11:37
You might even like to stay
for dinner afterwards.

1:11:43
Thank you.
1:12:01
We've met before.
1:12:03
Elia Kazan introduced us years ago.
1:12:06
I don't know if you remember.
1:12:07
Why of course I remember, Art.
1:12:09
I was just a very unimportant starlet
then and you just won

1:12:12
the Pulitzer Prize
for "Death of a Salesman."

1:12:16
I'm prepping a new play, uh...
"A View From the Bridge."

1:12:21
We open next month at the Coronet.
1:12:23
Uh...perhaps you'd like to stop by
and watch a rehearsal with me sometime

1:12:30
maybe make a few suggestions.
1:12:36
They'll say,
"If Arthur Miller's interested in her,

1:12:38
she must be more intelligent
than we thought.

1:12:41
She must have hidden dimensions
we never even suspected."

1:12:44
They'll probably say,
1:12:45
"If Arthur Miller's interested in her,
he must be desperate to get laid."

1:12:49
Didn't you figure it out last time?.
1:12:51
So now, instead of
trying to cook spaghetti,

1:12:53
you're gonna try to make matzo balls...
1:12:55
They're harder, you idiot!
1:12:57
You're not meant for love
and marriage -- you're not built for it.
