:22:06
So in order for this scheme to work...
:22:08
...we'd have to find a sure-fire flop.
:22:12
- What scheme?
- "What scheme?"
:22:14
Your scheme, you bloody little genius!
:22:17
I meant no scheme.
:22:19
I merely posed a little
academic accounting theory.
:22:22
It was just a thought.
:22:24
Worlds are turned on such thoughts.
:22:31
Don't you see, Bloom?
Darling Bloom. Glorious Bloom.
:22:35
It's so simple.
:22:36
Step one, we find the worst play in the world.
:22:39
A sure-fire flop.
:22:40
Step two, I raise $1 million.
There's a lot of old ladies in the world.
:22:44
Step three, you work on the books...
:22:47
...phony list of backers for the government.
:22:50
You can do it, Bloom. You're a wizard.
Step four, we open on Broadway.
:22:54
And before you can say "step five,"
we close on Broadway.
:22:58
Step six, we take our $1 million,
we fly to Rio de Janeiro!
:23:02
"Rio
:23:04
- "Rio by the sea-o"
- Mr. Bialystock, wait a minute.
:23:09
You're holding me too tight.
:23:14
I'm an honest man. You don't understand.
:23:17
No, you don't understand!
This is fate! This is destiny!
:23:21
This is kismet! There's no avoiding it.
:23:24
Not more than five minutes ago,
I doctored your books!
:23:27
That, sir, is the ultimate extent of my criminal life!
:23:35
I want that money!
:23:39
I fell on my keys.
:23:42
You miserable, cowardly,
wretched, little caterpillar.
:23:46
Don't you ever want to become a butterfly?
:23:49
Don't you want to spread your wings
and flap your way to glory?
:23:54
You're gonna jump on me.
:23:56
You're gonna jump on me!
I know you're gonna jump on me!
