- What can we do for you?
- This is hardly a time for levity.
:18:05
I've discovered a serious error...
:18:08
- ...in the accounts of your last play.
- Where? What?
:18:11
According to the backers list, you raised $60,000.
:18:14
But the play that you produced only cost $58,000.
:18:17
That's $2,000 unaccounted for.
:18:20
I went to a Turkish bath.
Who cares? The play was a flop!
:18:24
- What difference does it make?
- What difference does it make?
:18:27
That's fraud!
If they found out, you could go to prison.
:18:31
Who's gonna find out? It's only $2,000.
Bloom, do me a favor.
:18:35
Move a few decimal points around.
You're an accountant.
:18:38
You're in a noble profession.
The word "count" is part of your title.
:18:43
That's cheating.
:18:44
It's not cheating. It's charity.
:18:48
Bloom, look at me.
:18:51
Look at me!
:18:54
I'm drowning.
:18:57
Other men sail through life.
Bialystock has struck a reef.
:19:04
I'm going under.
:19:08
I'm being sunk
by a society that demands success...
:19:12
...when all I can offer is failure.
:19:14
Bloom, I'm reaching out to you.
:19:19
Don't send me to prison.
:19:23
Help!
:19:29
Help me, Bloom. Bloom, help me.
:19:35
I'll do it!
:19:39
- Thank you. I knew I could con you.
- That's all right. What?
:19:42
Nothing. Do it.
:19:45
Right. Let's see. $2,000.
:19:49
$2,000.
:19:52
That isn't much.
I'm sure I can hide it somewhere.
:19:57
After all, the Internal Revenue Service
isn't interested in a flop.
