The Majestic

:35:00

Luke....

:35:03

Fact is, we’ve been talking it over
while you slept, and....

:35:08

Well, good news, son.

:35:11

Now that you’re back,
we’ve decided to reopen.

:35:15

Reopen?

:35:18

How hard can it be?
We fix the place up, sell tickets.

:35:22

Harry. Look around.

:35:25

-It’s a dump.
-Told you so.

:35:28

I am looking around,
and all I see is potential.

:35:32

The place is ready to fall down. All
you’d have to do is give it a shove.

:35:38

You’re wrong. You are. I know
she doesn’t look like much now...

:35:44

...but once--
Once, this place was like a palace.

:35:48

-Palace.
-That’s why we called her Majestic.

:35:51

Any man, woman, child could buy
a ticket, walk in.

:35:55

Here they’d be, here we’d be.
Yes, sir. Yes, ma’am. Enjoy the show.

:36:00

In they’d come, entering a palace.
Like a dream. Like in heaven.

:36:05

Maybe you had worries and problems,
but once you came in...

:36:09

...they didn’t matter anymore.
And you know why?

:36:15

Chaplin, that’s why.
And Keaton, and Lloyd.

:36:21

Garbo, Gable, and Lombard.
And Jimmy Stewart, Jimmy Cagney.

:36:26

Fred and Ginger. They were gods!

:36:29

And they lived up there.

:36:32

That was Olympus.

:36:34

We felt so lucky just to be here.

:36:38

To have the privilege
of watching them.

:36:41

This TV thing, why stay
home and watch a box?

:36:45

Convenience? You don’t have
to dress up, you can sit there?

:36:49

You call that entertainment?
Alone in your living room?

:36:53

Where’s the other people?
Where’s the audience?

:36:58

Where’s the magic?
