Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:21,024 --> 00:02:23,891
Do you have to play that?
You ought to know better.
2
00:02:47,283 --> 00:02:48,545
Run out. Run away.
3
00:02:48,918 --> 00:02:51,182
Run off somewhere
where they don't know you.
4
00:02:51,354 --> 00:02:55,085
Bury your violin in the deepest hole.
Still won't do you any good.
5
00:02:55,258 --> 00:02:58,056
You think you hate music now.
You don't, you couldn't.
6
00:02:58,227 --> 00:03:02,220
Music is a compulsion, an obsession.
You'll blow up if you don't play it.
7
00:03:02,732 --> 00:03:05,064
What did you think
a concert career would be?
8
00:03:05,234 --> 00:03:07,566
Something you put together
with toothpicks?
9
00:03:08,037 --> 00:03:11,006
Little ink spots and finger exercises?
10
00:03:11,174 --> 00:03:14,109
Drop a nickel in the slot
and out pops a concert?
11
00:03:16,679 --> 00:03:19,944
Look at them.
Look at your beauties.
12
00:03:20,583 --> 00:03:24,781
How many minutes, days, months, years
of your life are bedded in the waxed wood?
13
00:03:24,954 --> 00:03:26,854
There's your biography.
14
00:03:27,690 --> 00:03:32,127
Paul Boray, virtuoso, artist.
15
00:03:33,930 --> 00:03:36,194
Why don't you leave him alone, Bauer.
16
00:03:48,544 --> 00:03:52,674
All my life I wanted
to do the right thing.
17
00:03:53,149 --> 00:03:55,276
But it never worked out.
18
00:03:55,718 --> 00:03:58,312
I'm outside always looking in.
19
00:03:59,055 --> 00:04:03,890
Feeling all the time
I'm far away from home.
20
00:04:04,293 --> 00:04:06,784
And where home is, I don't know.
21
00:04:08,164 --> 00:04:09,563
I...
22
00:04:10,166 --> 00:04:11,565
I...
23
00:04:13,002 --> 00:04:18,804
I can't get back to the simple,
happy kid I used to be.
24
00:04:25,314 --> 00:04:27,407
The kid I used to be.
25
00:04:50,406 --> 00:04:52,374
Take that whistle out of your mouth.
26
00:04:52,542 --> 00:04:54,874
You can't deliver groceries
and blow a kazoo.
27
00:04:55,044 --> 00:04:58,138
- Hi, Pop.
- Paul, off with coat, up with the tapioca.
28
00:04:58,314 --> 00:05:01,977
Nope. Leave your coat on. Wash
your face. You're going out with Papa.
29
00:05:02,151 --> 00:05:05,985
- Paul is going out with Papa?
- You're gonna buy him a birthday present.
30
00:05:06,155 --> 00:05:08,282
Why, Esther, Saturday's my busiest day.
31
00:05:08,458 --> 00:05:11,256
Besides, you cooked him a cake.
When I was a boy...
32
00:05:11,427 --> 00:05:13,622
What was a birthday without a present?
33
00:05:13,796 --> 00:05:17,789
All right. I'll build him
a nice house with a ketchup carton.
34
00:05:17,967 --> 00:05:20,162
Take him to Jeffers.
Let him choose.
35
00:05:20,336 --> 00:05:23,999
- He's too old to play house.
- He's too young to know what he wants.
36
00:05:24,173 --> 00:05:27,165
No matter. If he wants it,
it's a good present.
37
00:05:43,659 --> 00:05:46,787
Well, here we are, Paul.
Lots of nice things, aren't there?
38
00:05:46,963 --> 00:05:49,090
- Hello, Mr. Jeffers.
- Hello, Boray.
39
00:05:49,265 --> 00:05:50,732
- For the boy?
- Who else?
40
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:54,836
Look around, Paul. Pick something,
anything up to a dollar and a half.
41
00:05:55,004 --> 00:05:56,869
Well? The sheep.
42
00:05:57,039 --> 00:05:59,530
But the small one's better. Look.
43
00:05:59,709 --> 00:06:01,870
It's almost human.
Wouldn't you like that?
44
00:06:02,044 --> 00:06:03,306
No, that's for kids.
45
00:06:03,479 --> 00:06:07,176
Maybe there's something for big boys.
Let's see. Oh, here's something.
46
00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:08,339
A windmill.
47
00:06:08,518 --> 00:06:09,883
- Don't you like that?
- No.
48
00:06:10,052 --> 00:06:12,418
- He doesn't like it.
- Your boy like baseball?
49
00:06:12,588 --> 00:06:17,025
Well, who doesn't like baseball in America,
Mr. Jeffers? It's an institution.
50
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:19,621
Bang, bang, Babe Ruth.
51
00:06:19,795 --> 00:06:23,231
- Who else plays it?
- Ty Cobb, Hans Wagner.
52
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:24,764
Bang, bang, Hans Wagner.
53
00:06:24,934 --> 00:06:26,731
Bang, bang, Ty Cobb.
54
00:06:26,903 --> 00:06:29,030
Wouldn't you like to be
a Ty Cobb, Paul?
55
00:06:29,205 --> 00:06:30,467
No.
56
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,801
He doesn't want that.
57
00:06:41,551 --> 00:06:43,314
- Hello, Paul.
- Hi.
58
00:06:43,486 --> 00:06:45,511
- Wanna take some piano lessons?
- No.
59
00:06:45,688 --> 00:06:47,918
I'll give you a special rate, 25 cents.
60
00:06:48,090 --> 00:06:50,081
You pay, you'll be my only pupil.
61
00:06:50,259 --> 00:06:52,727
No, violin's prettier than the piano.
62
00:06:52,895 --> 00:06:56,126
Don't judge all pianos by the way
I look. Try it on for size.
63
00:06:56,299 --> 00:06:58,597
- Could I?
- Sure.
64
00:06:59,001 --> 00:07:02,732
If you play the violin, you'll have
to carry a pianist around with you.
65
00:07:02,905 --> 00:07:04,600
Play something.
66
00:07:07,944 --> 00:07:10,708
I know that. Just give me a minute.
67
00:07:20,990 --> 00:07:23,049
Paul. Paul!
68
00:07:23,225 --> 00:07:24,852
Paul!
69
00:07:25,027 --> 00:07:29,054
Another Paderewski in the family.
Phil with his kazoo and you with a violin.
70
00:07:29,231 --> 00:07:32,257
- You said I could have anything.
- A drum, a little horse.
71
00:07:32,435 --> 00:07:35,302
A toy is all right. What does
a boy want with a violin?
72
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:38,903
For wood and glue?
Take the fire engine.
73
00:07:39,075 --> 00:07:41,509
Let him take the fiddle.
He could do worse.
74
00:07:41,677 --> 00:07:44,441
For instance, he might grow up
to be a piano player.
75
00:07:44,614 --> 00:07:45,979
You ought to know, Sidney.
76
00:07:46,148 --> 00:07:48,548
Pianist and composer.
Rates on request.
77
00:07:48,718 --> 00:07:52,313
The unknown genius waiting to be
discovered. Do I strike your fancy?
78
00:07:52,622 --> 00:07:55,989
- Not too much.
- Unfortunately, I'm not my own type either.
79
00:07:56,158 --> 00:07:58,058
Listen, Sidney, as a musician...
80
00:07:58,227 --> 00:08:00,593
...how much do you make
per week or per year?
81
00:08:00,763 --> 00:08:02,094
- Money? Cash money?
- Yes.
82
00:08:02,264 --> 00:08:05,961
I'll write a song entitled,
"If I had a Million, Would I Talk to You?"
83
00:08:06,135 --> 00:08:07,796
I'm a bargain-basement genius.
84
00:08:07,970 --> 00:08:10,029
You want my son
to be genius number two.
85
00:08:10,206 --> 00:08:12,504
What a future.
Paul, take the baseball bat.
86
00:08:12,675 --> 00:08:14,973
- I want the violin.
- He wants the violin.
87
00:08:15,144 --> 00:08:18,409
Statistics show a million boys
are crying for baseball bats.
88
00:08:18,581 --> 00:08:21,277
It isn't good enough.
He has to have a violin.
89
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:25,043
Paul...
90
00:08:26,155 --> 00:08:28,646
...take the fire engine.
- No.
91
00:08:28,824 --> 00:08:30,553
The windmill.
92
00:08:31,227 --> 00:08:34,060
- The baseball bat.
- No.
93
00:08:35,231 --> 00:08:38,894
Then take nothing. Here.
Come on home.
94
00:08:40,803 --> 00:08:42,065
Don't take it too hard.
95
00:08:42,238 --> 00:08:45,207
You could imagine how much trouble
I had getting a piano.
96
00:08:45,374 --> 00:08:48,810
Mr. Boray, you forgot your hat.
97
00:08:50,379 --> 00:08:52,472
I'm sorry, Mr. Jeffers.
98
00:09:05,828 --> 00:09:07,386
- What happened?
- Your son.
99
00:09:07,563 --> 00:09:11,294
Your ungrateful son.
A toy isn't good enough for him.
100
00:09:12,001 --> 00:09:13,366
Paul.
101
00:09:20,109 --> 00:09:21,906
Didn't you see anything you want?
102
00:09:22,078 --> 00:09:24,273
Didn't he see anything?
He certainly did.
103
00:09:24,447 --> 00:09:26,779
In a black box like a dead fish.
104
00:09:26,949 --> 00:09:29,042
A violin no less.
105
00:09:29,218 --> 00:09:32,244
- A violin?
- He'll scratch on it for two weeks...
106
00:09:32,421 --> 00:09:36,289
...then it's in the closet with Phil's
saxophone. Remember his saxophone?
107
00:09:36,459 --> 00:09:38,791
You hoped we had
a musician in the family...
108
00:09:38,961 --> 00:09:41,191
...because he followed the organ grinder.
109
00:09:41,363 --> 00:09:43,695
But it was the monkey he wanted.
110
00:09:45,167 --> 00:09:49,695
He asked for a violin himself
and you didn't buy it for him?
111
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:57,240
- Is that why you're crying, Paul?
- I'm not crying.
112
00:09:57,413 --> 00:09:59,904
Well, you're not laughing either.
113
00:10:00,082 --> 00:10:02,949
Go upstairs. Put on a new face.
114
00:10:03,119 --> 00:10:05,485
Put on your birthday face.
115
00:10:21,771 --> 00:10:25,730
What are you doing? I forbid it,
Esther. It's throwing away money.
116
00:10:25,908 --> 00:10:28,536
Waste and foolishness.
What for, Esther? What for?
117
00:10:28,711 --> 00:10:31,578
It means something when
he asks for something himself.
118
00:10:31,747 --> 00:10:34,682
Means he's got an idea
he'll forget in a couple weeks.
119
00:10:35,184 --> 00:10:37,345
Maybe, maybe not.
120
00:10:37,887 --> 00:10:40,981
Maybe our Paul
will be different than Phil.
121
00:10:42,057 --> 00:10:44,082
Maybe our Paul will be different.
122
00:10:44,260 --> 00:10:47,423
Every mother thinks
she has a son who'll be different.
123
00:10:47,596 --> 00:10:50,156
But it's foolish I tell you.
124
00:10:52,334 --> 00:10:57,237
It's the one on the counter in the little
black box. Ask Sid Jeffers, he'll tell you.
125
00:10:59,008 --> 00:11:01,272
He's ready to blow out the candles.
126
00:11:01,443 --> 00:11:03,070
- Hi, Gina.
- Hello, Gina.
127
00:11:03,245 --> 00:11:04,473
Hello.
128
00:11:04,647 --> 00:11:07,707
- Happy birthday.
- Did you bring me a present?
129
00:11:09,718 --> 00:11:12,448
Make a wish, Paul. Make a wish.
130
00:11:14,690 --> 00:11:18,319
- Happy birthday, Paul.
- Gee, I blew out all the lights.
131
00:11:18,494 --> 00:11:21,258
All right, Sister, turn on the lights.
132
00:11:28,804 --> 00:11:31,739
Do you like it, darling? Do you like it?
133
00:11:41,150 --> 00:11:44,017
Will you put that thing away?
134
00:11:45,454 --> 00:11:47,251
Hey, we're gonna play ball.
135
00:11:47,423 --> 00:11:49,618
Anybody wanna play ball with us?
136
00:11:49,792 --> 00:11:52,454
- Hey, Phil, where's Paul?
- He's practicing.
137
00:11:52,628 --> 00:11:55,461
- Does he have to?
- He don't have to.
138
00:11:55,631 --> 00:11:57,155
You mean he wants to?
139
00:13:40,636 --> 00:13:41,898
Mr. Boray.
140
00:13:42,071 --> 00:13:44,130
Mr. Boray.
141
00:13:46,108 --> 00:13:48,269
- Me?
- Mr. Boray, we don't expect you...
142
00:13:48,444 --> 00:13:52,380
...to be with us all the time. But would
you mind keeping in touch with us?
143
00:13:52,548 --> 00:13:55,711
This overture is written
for full orchestra not solo violin.
144
00:13:55,884 --> 00:14:00,514
- Let's try it both ways.
- Let's try it as the composer wrote it, Boray.
145
00:14:01,156 --> 00:14:03,420
All right. I'm sorry.
146
00:14:04,526 --> 00:14:06,790
All right. Once more
from the double bar.
147
00:14:06,962 --> 00:14:10,762
This time, Mr. Boray has promised
to rejoin the orchestra.
148
00:14:13,102 --> 00:14:15,570
It occurs to me, Mr. Boray,
you are very fresh.
149
00:14:15,938 --> 00:14:19,430
Well, that's exactly the quality
that I like in your playing.
150
00:14:19,608 --> 00:14:22,042
All right. From the double bar.
151
00:14:52,307 --> 00:14:54,434
I'm right behind you, Gina.
152
00:14:56,845 --> 00:14:59,336
Get it? See what I mean?
Bach is church windows.
153
00:14:59,515 --> 00:15:02,712
Beethoven is a giant range
of mountains. Wagner is a storm.
154
00:15:02,885 --> 00:15:05,911
- Debussy is the wind in the trees.
- And you? What are you?
155
00:15:06,088 --> 00:15:08,147
Me? I'm the dynamo
that makes them tick.
156
00:15:08,323 --> 00:15:12,259
I'm a self-starter. I'll knock this town
on its ear once I get started.
157
00:15:12,428 --> 00:15:14,692
Nobody sits on my head.
It's full of talent.
158
00:15:14,863 --> 00:15:17,730
Last week, I met Jos� lturbi.
He told me, "Practice.
159
00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:20,164
Learn what they want and play it."
160
00:15:20,335 --> 00:15:22,929
Paul, we've passed my house.
161
00:15:23,605 --> 00:15:28,065
Oh, I'm sorry. Remind me to let you
get in a word every once in a while.
162
00:15:28,243 --> 00:15:32,202
When I get wound up, I just go on and on
until someone changes the needle.
163
00:15:32,381 --> 00:15:34,906
- I know how you feel.
- Do you?
164
00:15:35,084 --> 00:15:36,574
Really?
165
00:15:37,119 --> 00:15:41,920
It's funny, you know, I never
open up like this to most people...
166
00:15:42,091 --> 00:15:45,959
...not even Mom. It's only you.
You know what I mean?
167
00:15:46,128 --> 00:15:49,393
I don't have to pose with you.
I don't have to fight or argue.
168
00:15:49,565 --> 00:15:52,864
I can be what I am, no different.
No better, no worse. Just me.
169
00:15:53,035 --> 00:15:55,503
- You know?
- I know.
170
00:15:55,671 --> 00:15:57,468
Gee, I'm itching to get started.
171
00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:00,506
A thousand concerts
in my fingers waiting to get out.
172
00:16:00,676 --> 00:16:04,976
Nothing can stop me. Nothing can
get in my way. I don't feel alive until...
173
00:16:05,814 --> 00:16:07,475
Hey.
174
00:16:11,854 --> 00:16:14,118
If I told you I loved you...
175
00:16:14,490 --> 00:16:16,890
...would you laugh?
- No.
176
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:20,225
Well, I do.
177
00:16:21,130 --> 00:16:23,098
You see, I'm not laughing.
178
00:16:29,571 --> 00:16:32,472
Evening paper!
Get your evening paper! Thank you, sir.
179
00:16:32,641 --> 00:16:34,370
- Hey.
- Evening paper!
180
00:16:34,843 --> 00:16:37,835
- Read all about it!
- Hi, Eddie, how did the Yanks do?
181
00:16:38,013 --> 00:16:40,038
- They won both games.
- Great. Thanks.
182
00:16:43,986 --> 00:16:48,047
- $ 18.62.
Thompson, $ 11.33.
183
00:16:49,191 --> 00:16:51,056
Credit, credit, credit.
184
00:16:51,226 --> 00:16:52,693
Nobody pays anymore.
185
00:16:52,861 --> 00:16:55,591
I know they gotta eat, Esther,
but we gotta eat too.
186
00:16:55,764 --> 00:16:58,460
The Depression is a Depression
for us and everybody.
187
00:16:58,634 --> 00:17:01,125
What Depression?
With two chickens in every pot?
188
00:17:01,303 --> 00:17:03,931
It's no joke, Flossie. It's no joke at all.
189
00:17:04,106 --> 00:17:07,735
Who said it was funny? I got a run
in my stocking. Will you fix it?
190
00:17:07,910 --> 00:17:09,775
It's the last decent pair I've got.
191
00:17:09,945 --> 00:17:13,437
- Phil, is that you?
- Yeah. They got new signs in the park now.
192
00:17:13,615 --> 00:17:18,177
Instead of saying, "Please keep off the
grass," they say, "Don't eat the grass."
193
00:17:18,353 --> 00:17:20,082
- Any luck?
- There's nothing, Mom.
194
00:17:20,255 --> 00:17:22,849
Not one job between
the Battery and the Palisades.
195
00:17:23,025 --> 00:17:26,222
- It's like banging your head against a wall.
- Did you eat?
196
00:17:26,395 --> 00:17:29,853
No, I'm not hungry. What are you
doing home? Get canned, did you?
197
00:17:30,032 --> 00:17:32,728
- I could go and get your job.
- You're welcome to it.
198
00:17:32,901 --> 00:17:35,665
They got a new idea.
I gotta go back to work tonight.
199
00:17:35,837 --> 00:17:39,034
Open evenings for the rest
of the summer, three times a week.
200
00:17:39,208 --> 00:17:41,506
The customer's always right.
201
00:17:41,677 --> 00:17:44,111
Does he have to play
that violin all the time?
202
00:17:44,279 --> 00:17:45,712
He's not bothering anybody.
203
00:17:45,881 --> 00:17:49,578
I'll crawl in a hole till his nibs
gets the urge to stop playing.
204
00:17:49,751 --> 00:17:51,480
I'll retire from the human race.
205
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,081
Don't make any noise,
Paul is practicing.
206
00:17:54,256 --> 00:17:58,158
Don't go in the room, Paul is studying.
Don't do this, don't do that.
207
00:17:58,327 --> 00:17:59,988
It's coming out of my ears.
208
00:18:00,162 --> 00:18:03,256
- He's working hard.
- He's working hard?
209
00:18:03,432 --> 00:18:07,801
Oh, I forgot. I'm the one who
isn't working. I'm on a vacation.
210
00:18:07,970 --> 00:18:11,736
I go strolling every morning to smell
the flowers and look at the birds.
211
00:18:11,907 --> 00:18:14,603
Sure, he's the busy bee in this hive.
212
00:18:14,776 --> 00:18:18,678
Poor Paul, working his fingers to the bone
to support a no-good brother.
213
00:18:18,847 --> 00:18:21,213
Philip is right, Esther.
We're one family.
214
00:18:21,383 --> 00:18:24,875
- What's good for one is good for the other.
- Don't blame him, Rudy.
215
00:18:25,053 --> 00:18:29,012
What can he do? Help like
everyone else. Is that too much to ask?
216
00:18:29,191 --> 00:18:32,558
This practicing, these teachers.
He'll never amount to anything.
217
00:18:32,728 --> 00:18:34,628
- It's not for us.
- But, Rudy...
218
00:18:34,796 --> 00:18:37,128
Look at the Jeffers boy.
He plays music too.
219
00:18:37,299 --> 00:18:39,631
But at least he's on the radio.
He gets paid.
220
00:18:39,801 --> 00:18:42,167
- It's different with Paul.
- Don't he eat?
221
00:18:42,337 --> 00:18:44,532
Don't he wear clothes?
What's different?
222
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,866
- What's wrong with getting a job?
- There's nothing wrong.
223
00:18:48,043 --> 00:18:50,477
- But if you can be a...
- Statistics show...
224
00:18:50,646 --> 00:18:52,841
...there's one of those in a million.
225
00:18:53,015 --> 00:18:55,575
Philip, put your shoe on, please.
226
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,780
Paul Boray.
227
00:18:58,954 --> 00:19:01,855
The genius who lives
over a grocery store?
228
00:19:02,024 --> 00:19:03,821
- Now, Esther...
- Paul.
229
00:19:10,365 --> 00:19:12,299
Happy days.
230
00:19:12,467 --> 00:19:15,368
What's right is right.
I was just...
231
00:19:37,059 --> 00:19:39,391
My father keeps saying
it's a waste of time.
232
00:19:39,561 --> 00:19:41,688
He doesn't understand me
or my ambitions.
233
00:19:41,863 --> 00:19:44,559
Nobody sits on my head.
I'm not gonna be a parasite.
234
00:19:44,733 --> 00:19:47,258
From now on,
I pay my way. I want a job.
235
00:19:47,436 --> 00:19:50,064
At 3:00 in the morning?
What kind of a job?
236
00:19:50,238 --> 00:19:52,297
Playing violin.
What else do I know?
237
00:19:52,474 --> 00:19:56,308
That's just what this Depression needs,
another violin player. Cigarette?
238
00:19:56,478 --> 00:19:57,945
No thanks, I've got one.
239
00:19:59,414 --> 00:20:03,077
Hire a costume and play gypsy
variations in a Hungarian restaurant.
240
00:20:03,251 --> 00:20:06,687
- Don't horse me around, Sid.
- I'm not, Paul. I'm not.
241
00:20:06,855 --> 00:20:10,723
You're such a schnook. You think
decisions are made with flashlight bulbs.
242
00:20:10,892 --> 00:20:15,659
Pop, and I'm a gypsy fiddler,
or pop, I'm a virtuoso.
243
00:20:16,231 --> 00:20:18,495
Leave that cord alone,
you'll tear my shade.
244
00:20:18,667 --> 00:20:20,362
You're no help. You're laughing.
245
00:20:20,535 --> 00:20:23,436
- You're sensitive.
- I didn't come here to be analyzed.
246
00:20:23,605 --> 00:20:27,166
That's the trouble. You want advice.
What makes you think I know?
247
00:20:27,342 --> 00:20:31,745
I play piano in a monkey suit with a bunch
of other guys dressed up in monkey suits.
248
00:20:31,913 --> 00:20:33,141
Piano.
249
00:20:33,849 --> 00:20:36,579
Schmaltz. Listen, Paul,
I can be unhappy in any key.
250
00:20:36,752 --> 00:20:38,344
Depressed is my favorite word.
251
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,784
You know why? Schmaltz.
That what you want?
252
00:20:40,956 --> 00:20:44,790
I know what I don't want. I don't
wanna feel like a heel in my own house.
253
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,588
I don't wanna live
over a grocery store...
254
00:20:47,763 --> 00:20:50,288
...while feeding on gum
and chocolate drops.
255
00:20:50,465 --> 00:20:53,866
Hot in summer. Worrying
about the bill that wasn't paid...
256
00:20:54,035 --> 00:20:57,527
...or the bill that's coming in today.
Not me, Sid. Not me.
257
00:20:58,974 --> 00:21:01,135
And you want me
to tell you what to do.
258
00:21:01,309 --> 00:21:03,300
You want me to tell you you're right.
259
00:21:03,478 --> 00:21:06,072
Well, maybe you are. I don't know.
260
00:21:07,516 --> 00:21:10,076
You can't advise talent.
Talent's a way of life.
261
00:21:10,252 --> 00:21:12,516
Not something
you can decide in a minute.
262
00:21:12,687 --> 00:21:15,850
Who knows if you're gifted
enough to be a concert violinist.
263
00:21:16,024 --> 00:21:17,787
- That's the point.
- Is it? What?
264
00:21:17,959 --> 00:21:22,157
Maybe I'll end up teaching kids
how to fiddle. There's no guarantee.
265
00:21:22,330 --> 00:21:24,321
There's no guarantee
for anything real.
266
00:21:24,499 --> 00:21:27,525
Would you say, "I'll marry you
if I have a guarantee"?
267
00:21:27,702 --> 00:21:31,570
- You're a dead pigeon with guarantees.
- Don't give me any lectures.
268
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,367
I know you like a book by now.
269
00:21:34,543 --> 00:21:38,479
You're proud and sensitive. A little
too intense and much too precocious.
270
00:21:38,647 --> 00:21:41,172
Sincere but suffering
from the old American itch.
271
00:21:41,349 --> 00:21:43,476
You wanna get there fast,
but you don't wanna pay for the ride.
272
00:21:43,652 --> 00:21:46,917
All I'm asking you to do
is to help me get a job.
273
00:21:47,456 --> 00:21:50,983
- You think you can take it?
- I can take it.
274
00:24:22,711 --> 00:24:24,576
We're running overtime.
275
00:24:25,213 --> 00:24:27,647
There will be a cut here, gentlemen.
276
00:24:27,816 --> 00:24:30,114
Cut from letter D...
277
00:24:30,885 --> 00:24:35,481
...to letter R. That'll be eight bars from
the end. Is that agreeable, Mr. Jeffers?
278
00:24:35,657 --> 00:24:38,683
Why bring personalities
into the discussion? I'll do it.
279
00:24:38,860 --> 00:24:42,762
- From letter D to letter R, gentlemen.
- Why don't we just play two chords?
280
00:24:42,931 --> 00:24:45,422
One to open and close.
It'll sound just as good.
281
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,092
Even for me, and I don't acknowledge
myself to be the best pianist.
282
00:24:49,270 --> 00:24:51,932
- That's quite a cut, doctor.
- Sid's right.
283
00:24:52,107 --> 00:24:56,203
- I beg your pardon?
- I agreed. You're cutting out the best part.
284
00:24:56,745 --> 00:25:00,909
- Let me be the judge of that.
- It's a matter of the composer's intention.
285
00:25:01,082 --> 00:25:03,243
I apologize for making you unhappy, sir.
286
00:25:03,418 --> 00:25:05,045
I take it you are displeased.
287
00:25:05,220 --> 00:25:07,552
- Oh, I'll play it.
- Oh, you don't have to.
288
00:25:07,856 --> 00:25:11,121
You'll be happier if you're not
forced to play in our company.
289
00:25:11,559 --> 00:25:14,084
We will just have to struggle
along without you.
290
00:25:14,262 --> 00:25:15,923
Hey, wait a minute.
291
00:25:16,097 --> 00:25:19,362
Give the kid a chance.
He's never played on the radio.
292
00:25:19,534 --> 00:25:21,593
Don't waste your breath, Sid.
293
00:27:31,432 --> 00:27:33,161
Well?
294
00:27:33,802 --> 00:27:36,270
- What'd you think?
- Coffee?
295
00:27:36,437 --> 00:27:38,769
Look, I asked you a simple question.
296
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,667
Sugar?
297
00:27:43,478 --> 00:27:45,878
You want me to blow kisses
and shout bravo?
298
00:27:46,047 --> 00:27:49,312
- You sound promising.
- Thanks, that's a crushing compliment.
299
00:27:49,484 --> 00:27:53,079
From now on, you can sign
your letters, "Paul Boray, fiddle player."
300
00:27:53,254 --> 00:27:56,121
- I have spoken.
- Cut the gags. What'd you really think?
301
00:27:56,291 --> 00:27:59,783
Little too brash, a little over-brilliant.
You need more restraint.
302
00:27:59,961 --> 00:28:04,159
- You didn't like it?
- It's not important if I like it.
303
00:28:04,332 --> 00:28:08,359
- The idea is for other people to share it.
- That's right. For once, we agree.
304
00:28:08,536 --> 00:28:12,097
The point about an artist is the sound
he makes, the personal sound.
305
00:28:12,373 --> 00:28:16,571
It's his own sound like no one else,
on a piano, a violin, on any instrument.
306
00:28:16,778 --> 00:28:19,508
That's communicated
between artist and audience.
307
00:28:19,681 --> 00:28:23,344
That's what you call personality.
If he's got that, nothing matters.
308
00:28:23,518 --> 00:28:25,611
If he doesn't, he might as well quit.
309
00:28:28,690 --> 00:28:31,591
- You might have it.
- Then you think I'm terrific?
310
00:28:31,893 --> 00:28:35,260
- You took the words out of your mouth.
- Am I ready for concerts?
311
00:28:35,430 --> 00:28:37,921
- Sure.
- That's all I wanna know.
312
00:28:38,099 --> 00:28:41,466
- Where you gonna play?
- I'll talk to them down at the school.
313
00:28:41,636 --> 00:28:43,866
Rozner likes me,
he'll put in a good word.
314
00:28:44,038 --> 00:28:46,598
Wait a minute. Take a look at this.
315
00:28:54,282 --> 00:28:58,241
Here's a list of this week's concerts.
There must be hundreds of them.
316
00:28:58,419 --> 00:29:01,411
There's pianists, violinists,
sopranists, tuba players.
317
00:29:01,589 --> 00:29:04,524
All kinds of virtuosos.
You know what you're up against?
318
00:29:04,692 --> 00:29:07,183
- What's that got to do with me?
- Want a debut?
319
00:29:07,362 --> 00:29:11,128
You'll need a hall, tickets, a couple
of posters, some ads, publicity.
320
00:29:11,299 --> 00:29:14,166
Let's say $ 750 will do it.
321
00:29:14,335 --> 00:29:16,428
Do you have $ 750
kicking around loose?
322
00:29:16,604 --> 00:29:19,505
- I thought a manager takes care of that.
- For you?
323
00:29:19,674 --> 00:29:21,471
They never heard of you.
324
00:29:21,643 --> 00:29:24,942
They'd put you on, sure.
Only you pay.
325
00:29:25,113 --> 00:29:28,310
What does he do, pat me
on the back and pick my pocket?
326
00:29:28,483 --> 00:29:31,077
Who goes to debuts?
Relatives and enemies.
327
00:29:31,252 --> 00:29:33,812
You need connections
to get people to come.
328
00:29:33,988 --> 00:29:36,548
A manager supplies
the audience. If he's good...
329
00:29:36,724 --> 00:29:40,057
...he'll get a couple of critics
to hear you. That's important.
330
00:29:40,228 --> 00:29:42,458
My playing. Doesn't that mean anything?
331
00:29:42,630 --> 00:29:45,690
Sure, you fill the lull
between intermissions.
332
00:29:45,867 --> 00:29:49,803
What are you gonna play on? Can't play
a concert on a cut-rate instrument.
333
00:29:49,971 --> 00:29:54,237
You need a Strad or Guarnerius.
Do you have a spare 25G's to buy one?
334
00:29:54,409 --> 00:29:58,539
I studied ten years, practiced
till my hands feel like wood. For what?
335
00:29:58,713 --> 00:30:02,046
Don't give me any of that.
You should've told me this years ago.
336
00:30:02,216 --> 00:30:04,275
You weren't good enough ten years ago.
337
00:30:04,452 --> 00:30:06,647
You still thought music
was all moonlight.
338
00:30:06,821 --> 00:30:08,880
You play the piano.
What have you done?
339
00:30:09,057 --> 00:30:11,651
It's what you don't become that hurts.
340
00:30:11,826 --> 00:30:14,090
Idealism is a luxury for the very young.
341
00:30:14,262 --> 00:30:17,663
You're full of lectures.
You know all the answers.
342
00:30:17,832 --> 00:30:20,198
- You give me a pang.
- Don't get sore at me.
343
00:30:20,368 --> 00:30:24,464
- I didn't make the world.
- You're always giving out with advice.
344
00:30:24,639 --> 00:30:26,834
You ought to mind your own business.
345
00:30:27,008 --> 00:30:30,068
I didn't ask you to play for me.
That was your idea.
346
00:30:30,244 --> 00:30:34,146
- You wanted my opinion? You got it.
- I asked for an opinion, not a sermon.
347
00:30:34,315 --> 00:30:38,046
You have all the characteristics
of a successful virtuoso.
348
00:30:38,219 --> 00:30:41,279
You're self-indulgent
and the hero of all your dreams.
349
00:30:41,456 --> 00:30:44,584
You ought to dream yourself.
It might make you less cynical.
350
00:30:44,759 --> 00:30:47,227
When I look at you,
I know what I wanna avoid.
351
00:30:47,395 --> 00:30:50,262
One of us is offensive.
Why don't you blow.
352
00:30:57,405 --> 00:31:00,738
Tchaikovsky. Couldn't have
happened to a nicer fellow.
353
00:31:02,677 --> 00:31:04,941
What do you want it on,
whole wheat or rye?
354
00:31:05,113 --> 00:31:07,513
Okay, we're both crazy.
355
00:31:07,682 --> 00:31:10,116
- Where do we go from here?
- How about a party?
356
00:31:10,284 --> 00:31:13,720
- Fine, send down for a couple beers.
- I mean the real thing.
357
00:31:13,888 --> 00:31:16,482
- Hear of the Wrights?
- They invented the airplane.
358
00:31:16,657 --> 00:31:19,421
Helen and Victor Wright?
It's hard to avoid them.
359
00:31:19,594 --> 00:31:21,789
Pictures on the society page.
Very social.
360
00:31:21,963 --> 00:31:25,729
They have a yen for La Vie Boh�me.
Good food, good liquor, open house.
361
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:30,599
- They invite me for laughs.
- I don't feel in the mood for a party.
362
00:31:30,772 --> 00:31:33,502
Don't be stupid, sweetheart.
Everybody goes there.
363
00:31:33,674 --> 00:31:37,041
Maestros and dipsos,
corn-fed composers and calypsos.
364
00:31:37,211 --> 00:31:40,180
It's the breeding ground
for successful careers.
365
00:31:41,249 --> 00:31:44,878
Dozens of them have been launched
at the Wrights. Go put on your tie.
366
00:31:45,053 --> 00:31:46,850
I'll crawl into my society pants.
367
00:31:47,288 --> 00:31:50,086
Leave your hair mussed,
you look pretty that way.
368
00:32:47,048 --> 00:32:49,414
I'll skip this round, thanks.
369
00:32:52,987 --> 00:32:55,353
- How are you this evening?
- Fine, fine.
370
00:32:55,523 --> 00:32:58,356
Quite a party. Does this
go on here all the time...
371
00:32:58,526 --> 00:33:02,622
...or are you new here too?
- I'm an old hand at these parties.
372
00:33:03,297 --> 00:33:04,787
- Who's that?
- Who?
373
00:33:04,966 --> 00:33:07,901
- Over there.
- That's your hostess.
374
00:33:13,107 --> 00:33:16,099
So that's Helen Wright?
They say she drinks like a fish.
375
00:33:16,777 --> 00:33:19,109
Rumor hath it so.
Haven't you met her?
376
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,713
No.
377
00:33:20,882 --> 00:33:22,679
She probably hasn't seen you yet.
378
00:33:23,184 --> 00:33:26,642
- She's extremely near-sighted, you know.
- Really?
379
00:33:26,821 --> 00:33:28,789
- What's her husband like?
- Weak.
380
00:33:28,956 --> 00:33:30,981
Not a bad sort, just weak.
381
00:33:31,159 --> 00:33:33,491
- Is he around?
- Yes, he's here.
382
00:33:33,661 --> 00:33:35,561
- Where?
- Here.
383
00:33:36,330 --> 00:33:38,662
Oh, Victor, Helen's been asking for you.
384
00:33:38,833 --> 00:33:40,767
Oh, has she? Excuse me.
385
00:33:41,802 --> 00:33:45,329
What do you do? You a fighter?
You look just like a prizefighter.
386
00:33:45,506 --> 00:33:48,134
- Monte, I bet he's a prizefighter.
- I play violin.
387
00:33:48,309 --> 00:33:51,176
I don't believe you. Go on,
play a violin. I dare you.
388
00:33:51,345 --> 00:33:54,212
I bet you don't know which end
the music comes out of.
389
00:33:54,382 --> 00:33:57,977
- The middle. It comes out of the middle.
- Monte, make him play.
390
00:33:58,152 --> 00:34:00,120
- Would you?
- Sure, why not?
391
00:34:00,288 --> 00:34:03,724
Just by accident, I happened
to have brought my violin.
392
00:34:27,515 --> 00:34:29,745
Wonderful playing, isn't it?
393
00:34:30,451 --> 00:34:33,887
Every time I look at you,
I get a fierce desire to be lonesome.
394
00:34:34,055 --> 00:34:36,250
You can leave any time you like,
you know.
395
00:34:37,091 --> 00:34:39,252
You're too shy
to tell me you detest me?
396
00:34:40,061 --> 00:34:42,052
- Have we met?
- Never saw you before.
397
00:34:42,230 --> 00:34:45,324
- I've enjoyed every moment of it.
- I've seen you somewhere.
398
00:34:45,499 --> 00:34:47,694
- You ride the subways?
- Not very often.
399
00:34:47,868 --> 00:34:50,359
You probably don't recognize
me with clothes on.
400
00:34:50,538 --> 00:34:54,099
I pose for the underwear ads,
the body, scrawny.
401
00:34:54,575 --> 00:34:57,373
Well, as long as you
can't resist me, sit down.
402
00:34:58,613 --> 00:35:01,377
I still think you
look like a prizefighter.
403
00:35:01,549 --> 00:35:03,710
Sid, they want me to play.
404
00:35:03,884 --> 00:35:07,081
- What are you gonna play?
- Zigeunerweisen. Give me an A.
405
00:35:07,855 --> 00:35:11,848
Hey! You just spoiled the beginning
of an odious relationship.
406
00:35:15,329 --> 00:35:16,819
Okay.
407
00:35:27,441 --> 00:35:28,669
Who is that?
408
00:35:28,843 --> 00:35:31,004
I don't know. It's someone new.
409
00:35:31,178 --> 00:35:33,703
With that talent,
he'll probably end up in jail.
410
00:35:33,881 --> 00:35:35,508
Why?
411
00:35:35,683 --> 00:35:40,120
I don't know. I've just got an idea
that all talented people end up in jail.
412
00:35:40,288 --> 00:35:42,279
I make a stupid remark and you laugh.
413
00:35:42,456 --> 00:35:44,253
You're stupid, Teddy.
414
00:35:44,425 --> 00:35:45,517
Like him?
415
00:35:45,693 --> 00:35:49,686
I'm constitutionally given
to enthusiasm about nothing.
416
00:35:53,534 --> 00:35:56,594
Get my glasses for me
like a good boy, Teddy.
417
00:38:43,571 --> 00:38:45,402
The genius needs a drink, Teddy.
418
00:38:45,573 --> 00:38:47,598
- Gin or Scotch?
- No, thanks.
419
00:38:47,775 --> 00:38:50,335
Two Scotches with
a dash of heather.
420
00:38:51,178 --> 00:38:53,772
You play like a calliope.
421
00:38:53,948 --> 00:38:55,643
I beg your pardon?
422
00:38:55,816 --> 00:38:58,785
There's an original answer
for you. He begs my pardon.
423
00:38:58,953 --> 00:39:03,549
You're not the man who got up and gave
his seat to the lady on the subway?
424
00:39:04,325 --> 00:39:06,054
Do you come from the provinces?
425
00:39:06,227 --> 00:39:07,717
I was born in New York.
426
00:39:07,895 --> 00:39:11,023
Oh, here's that rare animal.
A New Yorker from New York.
427
00:39:12,066 --> 00:39:14,500
New York is full
of all kinds of animals.
428
00:39:14,668 --> 00:39:16,465
Not all of them were born here.
429
00:39:18,005 --> 00:39:19,905
Did you mean that as an insult?
430
00:39:20,074 --> 00:39:23,339
I'm a very difficult person
to insult, Mr...
431
00:39:23,711 --> 00:39:26,305
- You do have a name, don't you?
- Sure.
432
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,278
I'm in the telephone book under violins.
433
00:39:29,984 --> 00:39:32,282
Mrs. Wright,
this is my friend Paul Boray.
434
00:39:32,453 --> 00:39:35,820
And I'm sure that any friend
of mine is not welcome here.
435
00:39:38,792 --> 00:39:42,626
Bad manners, Mr. Boray.
The infallible sign of talent.
436
00:39:43,230 --> 00:39:45,027
Shall I make a prediction?
437
00:39:45,199 --> 00:39:48,362
Soon the world will
divide itself into two camps.
438
00:39:49,403 --> 00:39:52,304
Pro-Boray and anti-Boray.
439
00:39:53,374 --> 00:39:57,174
Which camp are you in,
Mrs. Wright? Pro or anti?
440
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,496
Why...? Why did Helen ride him like that?
441
00:40:22,670 --> 00:40:24,638
She's merely getting interested.
442
00:41:09,083 --> 00:41:11,916
- What else, Mrs. Cline?
- How much are your apples?
443
00:41:12,086 --> 00:41:14,646
- Five cents a piece.
- I'll have one.
444
00:41:14,822 --> 00:41:17,120
- What are you having, a party?
- Philip.
445
00:41:17,291 --> 00:41:19,725
Finish this order.
Something else, Mrs. Cline?
446
00:41:19,893 --> 00:41:22,088
- Do you have any butter?
- Lots of it.
447
00:41:22,262 --> 00:41:24,196
- How much a pound?
- Forty-five cents.
448
00:41:24,365 --> 00:41:26,595
At the corner,
it's only 30 cents a pound.
449
00:41:26,767 --> 00:41:29,292
- Why don't you get it there?
- They're out of it.
450
00:41:29,470 --> 00:41:33,634
- When we're out it's only 10 cents.
- I'm gonna put him on the stage.
451
00:41:33,807 --> 00:41:36,207
We just got some
fine Wisconsin sauerkraut.
452
00:41:36,377 --> 00:41:38,902
- Paul Boray?
- Yes, he's my son.
453
00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:41,377
- Sign here, pappy.
- What else, Mrs. Cline?
454
00:41:41,548 --> 00:41:44,108
- I'll have a box of soap flakes.
- Soap flakes.
455
00:41:44,284 --> 00:41:45,774
And a dozen of eggs.
456
00:41:45,953 --> 00:41:47,181
Thanks, pappy.
457
00:41:47,354 --> 00:41:48,844
Eggs.
458
00:41:49,023 --> 00:41:50,320
A bottle of milk.
459
00:41:50,491 --> 00:41:51,719
Paul!
460
00:41:51,892 --> 00:41:53,587
- Paul!
- Yeah.
461
00:41:53,761 --> 00:41:56,457
- Come down. Package for you.
- Coming.
462
00:41:56,997 --> 00:41:58,123
All right.
463
00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:02,365
- And a box of salt.
- Okay. Need anything else?
464
00:42:02,536 --> 00:42:04,197
I think that's all.
465
00:42:11,445 --> 00:42:14,005
- Well, open it up.
- What is it?
466
00:42:22,890 --> 00:42:25,017
- Cigarette case.
- For you?
467
00:42:25,192 --> 00:42:27,660
Well, where did
it come from? What for?
468
00:42:27,828 --> 00:42:29,921
I played at a party last night.
469
00:42:30,097 --> 00:42:32,224
You got it for playing the violin?
470
00:42:32,399 --> 00:42:33,730
Partly.
471
00:42:33,901 --> 00:42:35,596
They liked the way I play.
472
00:42:35,769 --> 00:42:37,498
Who liked your playing?
473
00:42:37,671 --> 00:42:39,229
What party?
474
00:42:39,406 --> 00:42:41,203
People named Wright.
475
00:42:41,375 --> 00:42:43,172
Wright, who are they?
476
00:42:43,343 --> 00:42:44,503
Oh, the Wrights.
477
00:42:44,678 --> 00:42:47,545
They know everybody.
They can help me a lot, Mom.
478
00:43:19,146 --> 00:43:21,876
- I hope you've forgiven me.
- I don't hold grudges.
479
00:43:22,049 --> 00:43:25,109
They're a waste of time.
You shouldn't have sent this.
480
00:43:25,285 --> 00:43:29,745
I spend my life doing penance for things
I never should've done in the first place.
481
00:43:31,258 --> 00:43:32,953
Don't you like martinis?
482
00:43:33,127 --> 00:43:35,095
Not particularly.
483
00:43:35,262 --> 00:43:37,992
They're an acquired taste,
like Ravel.
484
00:43:38,165 --> 00:43:41,965
I never had much time for
acquired tastes, except for Ravel.
485
00:43:42,136 --> 00:43:43,865
You make it all sound very grim.
486
00:43:44,037 --> 00:43:45,868
What do you do for amusement?
487
00:43:46,039 --> 00:43:47,700
Play the violin.
488
00:43:48,242 --> 00:43:51,234
- Is that all you do, play the violin?
- Almost.
489
00:43:52,146 --> 00:43:54,376
- Go to concerts?
- Not much.
490
00:43:54,548 --> 00:43:58,075
When they're good, I'm jealous.
When they're bad, I'm bored.
491
00:43:58,252 --> 00:44:00,777
Hobbies, pleasures or fun?
492
00:44:00,954 --> 00:44:03,286
It's there in the violin for me.
493
00:44:03,724 --> 00:44:06,124
- Girls?
- A few.
494
00:44:08,662 --> 00:44:09,890
That's all?
495
00:44:10,063 --> 00:44:11,792
That's all.
496
00:44:13,534 --> 00:44:16,094
You're a very strange creature.
497
00:44:16,270 --> 00:44:17,999
No stranger than you.
498
00:44:18,172 --> 00:44:21,164
Me? There's nothing
very strange about me.
499
00:44:21,341 --> 00:44:24,469
I was married twice before.
Once at 16, once at 21.
500
00:44:24,645 --> 00:44:26,772
One was a crybaby,
the other a caveman.
501
00:44:26,947 --> 00:44:29,074
Between them,
I said goodbye to girlhood.
502
00:44:29,249 --> 00:44:31,240
You're still very young.
503
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,516
Take that glint out of your eye.
504
00:44:35,022 --> 00:44:37,354
- Glint?
- That gleam.
505
00:44:37,891 --> 00:44:41,088
I don't know how men get that way.
Every time you meet a woman...
506
00:44:41,261 --> 00:44:45,197
...you begin to plan on how
and where you can club her wings down.
507
00:44:45,365 --> 00:44:46,855
I'm different, remember?
508
00:44:47,034 --> 00:44:50,231
I'm the fella that's gonna
split the world into two camps.
509
00:44:50,404 --> 00:44:54,204
Besides, I thought I was
your favorite unknown talent.
510
00:44:54,374 --> 00:44:55,773
You are.
511
00:44:55,943 --> 00:44:58,070
You're a very talented violinist.
512
00:44:58,245 --> 00:45:00,304
I like to help talent when I can.
513
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,778
I'm interested in you as an artist.
514
00:45:03,917 --> 00:45:07,114
And not as a person?
515
00:45:07,821 --> 00:45:10,449
Only as an artist.
516
00:45:13,627 --> 00:45:16,095
By the way, you don't have
a manager, do you?
517
00:45:16,263 --> 00:45:18,959
- No, no.
- You should have one, you know.
518
00:45:20,868 --> 00:45:22,836
Do you know Bauer? Frederick Bauer?
519
00:45:23,003 --> 00:45:25,301
Well, I've never met him.
520
00:46:04,745 --> 00:46:07,714
- Yes, Mr. Bauer?
- Check open dates at Manhattan Hall...
521
00:46:07,881 --> 00:46:12,045
...for a recital, violin.
Mrs. Wright will pay for it.
522
00:47:43,276 --> 00:47:46,643
Esther, people are watching.
You must not do that.
523
00:49:39,459 --> 00:49:42,360
He sounds better here
than he does in the kitchen.
524
00:50:08,388 --> 00:50:10,913
Ask Mr. Boray to join us.
525
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,390
Gee, l... I don't know, I...
526
00:50:15,562 --> 00:50:17,757
I never thought I'd be so nervous.
527
00:50:18,198 --> 00:50:21,167
I feel as if I've been
through a six-day bike race.
528
00:50:21,868 --> 00:50:22,857
I'm all in.
529
00:50:23,036 --> 00:50:26,699
If you don't sweat, it's not good.
That's when you begin to worry.
530
00:50:26,873 --> 00:50:29,671
You know, I thought I was
better in the second half.
531
00:50:29,843 --> 00:50:32,141
I kind of got warmed up a little.
532
00:50:32,312 --> 00:50:35,748
Don't you think I was a little cold
in the beginning? You know...
533
00:50:35,916 --> 00:50:38,646
...the first few minutes
I didn't have any control.
534
00:50:38,818 --> 00:50:42,413
Forget it. It was only perceptible
to the whole audience.
535
00:50:43,423 --> 00:50:45,857
On the level, Paul,
it was really first-rate.
536
00:50:46,026 --> 00:50:49,257
- You left them in a quiet frenzy.
- I don't know. I don't know.
537
00:50:49,429 --> 00:50:52,091
I'd give anything to do
the concert all over again.
538
00:50:52,265 --> 00:50:56,827
No matter how many concerts, you'll always
have the penalty of not satisfying yourself.
539
00:50:57,003 --> 00:51:00,404
Preserve that feeling
of dissatisfaction and you'll be okay.
540
00:51:01,474 --> 00:51:04,966
Hey, wait a minute. This has to go
on a headwaiter tomorrow night.
541
00:51:05,145 --> 00:51:07,909
I'd like to go hide.
I don't wanna see anyone.
542
00:51:08,081 --> 00:51:11,016
I tell you, you're in.
Ask me, an actual eyewitness.
543
00:51:11,184 --> 00:51:14,813
I found the concert completely stultifying.
What more do you want?
544
00:51:14,988 --> 00:51:17,149
Let's talk about something else.
545
00:51:17,324 --> 00:51:18,757
What about ancient Greece?
546
00:51:18,925 --> 00:51:21,223
What's your opinion of Greek civilization?
547
00:51:21,394 --> 00:51:24,056
Quit it, will you?
Did you see the house out there?
548
00:51:24,231 --> 00:51:26,165
Half empty. Some debut.
549
00:51:26,333 --> 00:51:28,858
Rows of empty seats
staring me in the face.
550
00:51:29,502 --> 00:51:32,494
And then I fluffed that
fast passage in the Brahms.
551
00:51:33,073 --> 00:51:35,337
Don't worry.
You won't hear from Brahms.
552
00:51:35,508 --> 00:51:38,500
Cut the gags out, will you, Sid.
Cut it out or get out!
553
00:51:39,212 --> 00:51:40,941
I can't afford it.
554
00:51:41,514 --> 00:51:43,482
You're the only friend I've got.
555
00:51:44,184 --> 00:51:46,618
He has fire, this Boray.
556
00:51:46,786 --> 00:51:49,311
Rather like what you
find in a Van Gogh painting.
557
00:51:49,489 --> 00:51:52,253
A touch of the savage.
Good for art.
558
00:51:52,425 --> 00:51:54,950
That's why I was
never an artist, my dear.
559
00:51:59,466 --> 00:52:01,161
I'll go backstage and get Paul.
560
00:52:01,334 --> 00:52:03,859
- We'll see you at home, Gina.
- All right.
561
00:52:06,406 --> 00:52:09,068
- Let's go, Rudy. I wanna get things ready.
- Esther.
562
00:52:09,242 --> 00:52:11,574
Maybe we can take
the picture for a souvenir.
563
00:52:11,745 --> 00:52:15,306
- There'll be other pictures.
- But it's a beautiful picture.
564
00:52:20,620 --> 00:52:24,954
You wouldn't want to offend her. Helen
would be disappointed if you didn't show.
565
00:52:25,125 --> 00:52:28,151
- My family's having a party. Thanks.
- Oh, come along.
566
00:52:28,328 --> 00:52:30,728
- You should go.
- For an hour. How about it?
567
00:52:30,897 --> 00:52:33,127
Okay, just for an hour.
568
00:52:37,237 --> 00:52:40,070
Another one, Paul.
"The debut of a violinist...
569
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:44,438
...of uncommon power and integrity
is the news this morning.
570
00:52:44,911 --> 00:52:49,405
It is difficult to remember
a first concert equal to it for vir..."
571
00:52:49,816 --> 00:52:52,649
- Virtuosity.
- "Virtuosity, musicianship...
572
00:52:52,819 --> 00:52:54,980
...and the highest type
of interpretation.
573
00:52:55,155 --> 00:52:57,646
Paul Boray is a young
violinist of great gifts."
574
00:52:57,824 --> 00:52:59,724
You hear? He's talking about you.
575
00:52:59,893 --> 00:53:02,191
- Bunk.
- I'll take the bunk for an appetizer.
576
00:53:02,362 --> 00:53:04,694
Don't believe everything
you read in papers.
577
00:53:04,864 --> 00:53:07,526
- You came home late last night.
- Oh, yeah.
578
00:53:07,701 --> 00:53:09,066
I'm sorry, Mom.
579
00:53:09,669 --> 00:53:11,728
I couldn't get away. Honest.
580
00:53:11,905 --> 00:53:14,806
That's all right. It was nothing.
Just cake and wine.
581
00:53:14,974 --> 00:53:16,669
Makes no difference.
582
00:53:16,843 --> 00:53:18,105
Where were you?
583
00:53:18,278 --> 00:53:21,042
At the Wrights. Mr. Bauer
thought I ought to go.
584
00:53:21,214 --> 00:53:23,739
- Those are nice flowers.
- Gina brought them.
585
00:53:24,684 --> 00:53:26,083
Oh, she did?
586
00:53:26,252 --> 00:53:29,312
- Oh, I'll call her later.
- Paul, this is important.
587
00:53:29,489 --> 00:53:32,424
Daily Progressive,
high-class newspaper.
588
00:53:32,926 --> 00:53:35,690
"Boray is undoubtedly
a gifted young man.
589
00:53:35,862 --> 00:53:40,925
But his tone has an unfortunate tendency
to go off pitch in moments of climax.
590
00:53:41,101 --> 00:53:44,093
Time and experience
will perhaps correct this fault."
591
00:53:44,270 --> 00:53:46,204
Yellow journalism.
592
00:53:48,541 --> 00:53:50,907
- I saw them at the concert.
- What?
593
00:53:51,211 --> 00:53:53,702
I said I saw Mr. And
Mrs. Wright at the concert.
594
00:53:54,114 --> 00:53:55,638
Oh, you did?
595
00:53:56,750 --> 00:53:59,184
She's a very beautiful woman.
596
00:54:00,153 --> 00:54:01,643
Listen to this:
597
00:54:01,821 --> 00:54:06,815
"The concert was notable
for the unfailing beauty of tone."
598
00:54:06,993 --> 00:54:09,223
See, I told you.
The other one was jealous.
599
00:54:09,396 --> 00:54:11,887
Statistics show 80 percent
of jealous critics...
600
00:54:12,065 --> 00:54:15,034
...are broken-down,
disappointed musicians anyway.
601
00:54:15,602 --> 00:54:18,070
- Customers. I must show them the papers.
- Here.
602
00:54:18,238 --> 00:54:20,638
No, no. This one is prejudiced.
603
00:54:27,747 --> 00:54:30,944
It's nice of the Wrights
to show such an interest in you.
604
00:54:31,117 --> 00:54:35,213
It's the fiddle, Mom.
They like the way I play the violin.
605
00:54:43,029 --> 00:54:45,759
I hate to take up your time
like this, Mrs. Wright.
606
00:54:45,932 --> 00:54:48,901
- I appreciate it.
- Nonsense. It wasn't my idea.
607
00:54:49,068 --> 00:54:53,232
Bauer thought of it. I have the reputation
for good clothes, food and wine.
608
00:54:53,406 --> 00:54:55,374
Bauer said something conservative.
609
00:54:55,542 --> 00:54:57,442
Yeah, conservative and dark.
610
00:54:57,610 --> 00:55:01,706
The curse of classics. They demand
respectability. Not that. Take the serge.
611
00:55:01,881 --> 00:55:04,543
- Mrs. Wright knows value.
- You mean that?
612
00:55:04,717 --> 00:55:07,845
Yes. A suit mustn't have bones
like ribs in an umbrella.
613
00:55:08,021 --> 00:55:09,784
It's the drape that does it.
614
00:55:09,956 --> 00:55:13,323
I wouldn't know. I just have time
to get dressed in the morning.
615
00:55:13,493 --> 00:55:16,257
Mrs. Wright knows quality
when she sees it.
616
00:55:16,429 --> 00:55:18,021
I like the stripe better.
617
00:55:19,566 --> 00:55:21,591
You can be a very obstinate man.
618
00:55:21,768 --> 00:55:26,262
I began young. I once had a very bitter
argument about a baseball bat or a violin.
619
00:55:26,606 --> 00:55:28,540
And you got the violin.
620
00:55:28,708 --> 00:55:30,608
I'm not with the New York Yankees.
621
00:55:30,777 --> 00:55:32,210
Obviously.
622
00:55:33,913 --> 00:55:36,507
- In the stripe.
- In the stripe.
623
00:56:33,339 --> 00:56:34,738
Thank you, Mr. Boray.
624
00:56:34,908 --> 00:56:38,071
- Well, what do you think?
- Good. Excellent in many ways.
625
00:56:38,244 --> 00:56:39,370
Then you forgive me?
626
00:56:39,546 --> 00:56:42,982
Forgiving you, Helen, is like
an old and not unpleasant habit.
627
00:56:43,149 --> 00:56:46,448
I knew you wouldn't come if
I told you to listen to a recital.
628
00:56:46,619 --> 00:56:49,315
I think symphony conductors
develop selective ears.
629
00:56:49,489 --> 00:56:51,855
They can be very deaf on occasion.
630
00:56:52,025 --> 00:56:54,755
- Where did you study?
- At the National Institute.
631
00:56:54,928 --> 00:56:56,555
- With Rozner?
- Yes, sir.
632
00:56:56,729 --> 00:56:58,856
- Where can I reach you?
- Through Bauer.
633
00:56:59,032 --> 00:57:00,556
Bauer. You're in good hands.
634
00:57:00,733 --> 00:57:03,702
Phone my secretary someday.
I'd like to talk to you.
635
00:57:03,870 --> 00:57:06,031
- I will.
- Thanks again, Mr. Boray.
636
00:57:06,205 --> 00:57:07,433
Goodbye, Mr. Jeffers.
637
00:57:07,607 --> 00:57:10,667
If the orchestra's hard up for funds,
I'd be glad to help.
638
00:57:10,843 --> 00:57:13,243
Thanks again for coming.
Give my love to Lisa.
639
00:57:13,413 --> 00:57:15,938
I don't think he knew
we were gonna play.
640
00:57:16,115 --> 00:57:19,050
He didn't seem to mind.
He left the first chance he got.
641
00:57:19,218 --> 00:57:21,618
Mr. Hagerstrom, mind
dropping me off downtown?
642
00:57:21,788 --> 00:57:24,313
I have to report to my parole board
every two weeks.
643
00:57:24,490 --> 00:57:26,355
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Helen.
644
00:57:59,892 --> 00:58:01,689
Why are you angry?
645
00:58:02,562 --> 00:58:05,156
Didn't Hagerstrom know
I was coming here to play?
646
00:58:05,331 --> 00:58:06,593
No, not quite.
647
00:58:06,766 --> 00:58:08,290
You might've told me that.
648
00:58:08,468 --> 00:58:12,199
- I took it for granted you'd want to play.
- I wanted to. I respect him.
649
00:58:12,372 --> 00:58:14,863
- But that's not the point.
- What is the point?
650
00:58:15,041 --> 00:58:17,236
The way you did it.
Without him knowing.
651
00:58:17,410 --> 00:58:21,403
Look, it was for your sake I asked
him up here. I don't play the violin.
652
00:58:22,181 --> 00:58:24,172
The patroness of the arts. What am I?
653
00:58:24,350 --> 00:58:27,513
A substitute for this year's
trip to Sun Valley?
654
00:58:27,687 --> 00:58:30,281
Think it's pleasant
to be patronized by a woman?
655
00:58:30,456 --> 00:58:32,515
Doesn't it occur to you
to be grateful?
656
00:58:32,692 --> 00:58:35,286
Sure. I'm grateful
for the debut, for Bauer.
657
00:58:35,461 --> 00:58:39,420
I'm grateful for the chance to play
for Hagerstrom. That's the list so far.
658
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:42,534
- I'm in your debt.
- I don't recall having mentioned it.
659
00:58:42,702 --> 00:58:44,966
Didn't do this for me. Did it for yourself.
660
00:58:45,138 --> 00:58:48,403
The way you buy a racehorse
or a yacht or collect paintings.
661
00:58:48,574 --> 00:58:52,032
You just added a violin player
to your possessions, that's all.
662
00:58:52,612 --> 00:58:54,944
You're a mass of prejudices, aren't you?
663
00:58:55,114 --> 00:58:58,379
So much thought
and so little feeling. You...
664
00:59:00,053 --> 00:59:03,420
I'm in no mood to argue the point.
I'll settle for a drink.
665
00:59:15,268 --> 00:59:18,533
- Why do you drink so much?
- Ask me no questions and...
666
00:59:19,238 --> 00:59:22,264
As me no questions,
I'll tell you no lies. Remember that?
667
00:59:22,442 --> 00:59:23,602
Sure.
668
00:59:23,776 --> 00:59:26,939
I also remember, "Beware
of the Greeks bearing gifts."
669
00:59:27,113 --> 00:59:28,774
Hello, darling.
670
00:59:28,948 --> 00:59:30,939
- Paul.
- Victor, you're just in time.
671
00:59:31,117 --> 00:59:33,517
- Paul was scolding me for my manners.
- Was he?
672
00:59:33,686 --> 00:59:37,144
It seems I don't know the etiquette
of gratitude. Bourbon for you?
673
00:59:37,323 --> 00:59:38,915
- Won't you have something?
- No.
674
00:59:39,092 --> 00:59:41,526
They say people who drink
a lot are frustrated.
675
00:59:41,694 --> 00:59:43,218
Or thirsty.
676
00:59:43,396 --> 00:59:44,988
Or unhappy.
677
00:59:45,498 --> 00:59:48,729
- Did you like Hagerstrom?
- Your wife was kind to introduce me.
678
00:59:48,901 --> 00:59:51,426
You should've heard him.
He has original ideas.
679
00:59:51,604 --> 00:59:54,539
He's been expanding on my
general uselessness. Soda?
680
00:59:54,707 --> 00:59:57,267
- Please.
- He thinks I live a wasted life.
681
01:00:26,506 --> 01:00:29,669
Oh, Sinbad and the mermaid.
What news of the guppies?
682
01:00:29,842 --> 01:00:33,073
- Meet interesting salmon?
- You don't know what you're missing.
683
01:00:33,246 --> 01:00:36,374
- The water was wonderful.
- The water knows where to find me.
684
01:00:36,549 --> 01:00:39,985
I believe in progress and American
plumbing. When I need water...
685
01:00:40,153 --> 01:00:41,848
...I take a shower.
686
01:00:43,022 --> 01:00:44,387
- Wanna play catch?
- No.
687
01:00:44,557 --> 01:00:45,683
Would you?
688
01:00:45,858 --> 01:00:47,826
- No.
- You ungrateful people.
689
01:00:47,994 --> 01:00:51,725
You invite me to the beach, drive me
out in style to the cool breezes.
690
01:00:51,898 --> 01:00:55,834
Take me out of the nice, hot,
steaming city, and this is the thanks I get.
691
01:00:56,002 --> 01:01:00,063
And what's more, I'm hungry.
This violent inertia gives me an appetite.
692
01:01:00,239 --> 01:01:05,006
- You haven't been out of that chair.
- Every man has his own form of exercise.
693
01:01:05,378 --> 01:01:08,074
This is your party.
You know your way around here.
694
01:01:08,247 --> 01:01:11,546
Where's the food, or do we munch
seaweed to keep in the spirit?
695
01:01:11,717 --> 01:01:15,983
- Sandwiches are inside if you want them.
- You mean, I have to walk inside?
696
01:01:19,325 --> 01:01:21,350
Wonderful sea air.
697
01:01:22,361 --> 01:01:26,525
Do you ever get confused with all these
spare mansions you have kicking around?
698
01:01:26,699 --> 01:01:29,065
Beach house, town house,
country house.
699
01:01:29,235 --> 01:01:33,103
Personally, I get confused in
a hotel room with an adjoining towel.
700
01:01:35,141 --> 01:01:38,042
You get the feeling
that I'm not wanted here?
701
01:01:43,182 --> 01:01:44,877
Why'd you run away?
702
01:01:46,152 --> 01:01:47,642
I don't like to be mauled.
703
01:01:47,820 --> 01:01:49,583
I was only trying to help you.
704
01:01:50,122 --> 01:01:53,853
I don't need your help. I'm perfectly
capable of taking care of myself.
705
01:01:54,026 --> 01:01:57,962
- I have a certain amount of pride too.
- Who says you haven't?
706
01:02:00,633 --> 01:02:02,624
What are you afraid of, Helen?
707
01:02:02,802 --> 01:02:04,497
I'm just careful.
708
01:02:04,670 --> 01:02:07,264
- Of what?
- Of the world in general.
709
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:11,001
- That's pretty vague.
- It's a woman's privilege to be vague.
710
01:02:11,878 --> 01:02:15,177
You want people to think
you're brittle and shallow.
711
01:02:15,348 --> 01:02:18,317
The woman with a gay gag,
a wisecrack.
712
01:02:18,484 --> 01:02:20,418
You're not really that, you know.
713
01:02:20,953 --> 01:02:23,217
My friends will be delighted to hear it.
714
01:02:23,389 --> 01:02:25,152
You're lonely.
715
01:02:26,559 --> 01:02:30,188
You think you can fool me.
We're too alike. I know you too well.
716
01:02:30,363 --> 01:02:31,796
You don't know me at all.
717
01:02:32,665 --> 01:02:34,792
Why did you ask me out here today?
718
01:02:36,369 --> 01:02:39,497
I was coming out anyway,
and I thought you might enjoy it.
719
01:02:42,408 --> 01:02:43,670
That's not true.
720
01:02:45,344 --> 01:02:48,313
I don't like insolence, even from guests.
721
01:02:59,225 --> 01:03:03,161
Tell me, Mrs. Wright, does your husband
interfere with your marriage?
722
01:03:03,329 --> 01:03:04,956
Why don't you play something?
723
01:03:05,131 --> 01:03:08,225
I don't like to play the piano.
It makes me too attractive.
724
01:03:08,401 --> 01:03:11,063
- Sandwich?
- No thanks. I'm on a liquid diet.
725
01:03:11,237 --> 01:03:12,226
Drink?
726
01:03:12,405 --> 01:03:14,396
No, I gotta get back for broadcast.
727
01:03:14,573 --> 01:03:16,200
Clear head, nimble fingers.
728
01:03:16,375 --> 01:03:18,434
- Just one?
- Broadcast.
729
01:03:18,611 --> 01:03:21,671
I play background music
for a drama called Life's a Dream.
730
01:03:22,014 --> 01:03:26,542
The girl's going blind. Her boyfriend just
discovered there's insanity in his family.
731
01:03:26,719 --> 01:03:29,187
Mama's a widow with
a mortgage years overdue.
732
01:03:29,355 --> 01:03:31,152
The brother's wanted by the cops.
733
01:03:31,324 --> 01:03:34,054
Otherwise, their life
is one laugh after another.
734
01:03:34,226 --> 01:03:38,253
I'm a man of fragments. Little here,
little there. Beach, broadcast.
735
01:03:38,831 --> 01:03:40,662
Nothing complete in my life...
736
01:03:40,833 --> 01:03:42,266
...if I had a life.
737
01:03:42,435 --> 01:03:43,732
Now, where were we?
738
01:03:43,903 --> 01:03:47,862
I'm tired of talk. I don't like brainy
people. They're usually very dull.
739
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:51,134
I prefer a touch of the brainless.
They're a happier breed.
740
01:03:51,310 --> 01:03:53,437
You're making a big mistake.
741
01:03:54,246 --> 01:03:55,679
You're brainless, you mean?
742
01:03:55,881 --> 01:03:59,544
I can do anything a brainless
man can do, and I can do it better.
743
01:03:59,719 --> 01:04:01,744
That sounds almost like a challenge.
744
01:04:35,521 --> 01:04:38,388
- I'm all right. Leave me alone.
- But your shirt's torn.
745
01:04:38,557 --> 01:04:40,650
Don't touch me.
746
01:04:41,994 --> 01:04:43,461
I said, I'm all right.
747
01:04:49,668 --> 01:04:51,499
Leave me alone, Paul.
748
01:04:56,609 --> 01:04:58,600
What are you thinking?
749
01:04:58,778 --> 01:05:00,245
Nothing.
750
01:05:07,953 --> 01:05:10,922
Don't nibble on the grass.
It stains your teeth.
751
01:05:12,058 --> 01:05:15,152
You might be sorry love
was ever invented, Paul.
752
01:05:15,327 --> 01:05:17,955
I'm not a simple person.
I have my faults.
753
01:05:18,130 --> 01:05:21,998
Who hasn't? I have a quota of them
tucked in my back pocket.
754
01:05:22,168 --> 01:05:25,137
I don't keep mine hidden though.
I wear them like medals.
755
01:05:25,504 --> 01:05:26,937
I'll take my chances.
756
01:05:27,473 --> 01:05:30,772
Ever since I can remember,
I've been a law to myself.
757
01:05:30,943 --> 01:05:33,969
People were stupid
enough to put up with it.
758
01:05:37,550 --> 01:05:38,915
You never did.
759
01:05:39,085 --> 01:05:41,713
- And you liked that?
- No, I hated it.
760
01:05:41,887 --> 01:05:43,548
I was afraid of it. I still am.
761
01:05:43,722 --> 01:05:45,019
Why?
762
01:05:46,859 --> 01:05:50,659
It takes a great deal of courage
to look at ourselves as we really are.
763
01:05:50,830 --> 01:05:52,730
I never wanted to.
764
01:05:52,898 --> 01:05:54,297
So I drink.
765
01:05:54,667 --> 01:05:57,500
That's the truth, pure and simple.
766
01:05:57,670 --> 01:05:59,570
The truth is never simple.
767
01:05:59,738 --> 01:06:01,137
I know that.
768
01:06:02,007 --> 01:06:04,032
The truth is, I love you.
769
01:06:08,948 --> 01:06:11,940
I can't fight you any longer, Paul.
770
01:06:38,043 --> 01:06:39,442
Hello, Mom.
771
01:06:39,612 --> 01:06:43,275
- There's some cold chicken in the icebox.
- This is plenty. Thanks.
772
01:06:43,449 --> 01:06:45,110
Want some hot coffee?
773
01:06:45,718 --> 01:06:47,618
This is fine.
774
01:06:48,554 --> 01:06:51,853
Gina called. You had a date with her.
775
01:06:52,791 --> 01:06:54,691
I'm sorry. I forgot.
776
01:06:55,761 --> 01:06:58,559
- She's a nice girl.
- Yeah.
777
01:07:01,867 --> 01:07:05,633
Maybe it's none of my business, Paul,
but I wasn't born yesterday.
778
01:07:05,804 --> 01:07:08,364
- I see what's happening.
- Nothing's happening.
779
01:07:08,807 --> 01:07:10,035
You should know.
780
01:07:15,781 --> 01:07:17,214
What do you think, Mom?
781
01:07:17,383 --> 01:07:19,874
She's a married woman.
What do you think?
782
01:07:20,052 --> 01:07:21,849
- I don't know.
- When will you know?
783
01:07:22,021 --> 01:07:25,889
- They'll publish the scandal in the papers.
- Nobody's publishing anything.
784
01:07:26,058 --> 01:07:27,958
Oh, they did it to better men.
785
01:07:28,127 --> 01:07:31,221
You're a clean boy with a clean
career, why get involved?
786
01:07:31,397 --> 01:07:35,163
- I tell you, I'm not involved.
- You'll have to get up early to fool me.
787
01:07:35,334 --> 01:07:37,302
I don't wanna talk about it.
788
01:07:39,772 --> 01:07:41,262
Paul.
789
01:07:55,487 --> 01:07:57,751
My opinion of Mrs. Wright
doesn't matter...
790
01:07:57,923 --> 01:07:59,618
...but I know you.
791
01:07:59,792 --> 01:08:03,193
Inside, Paul, you want
a wife, home, children.
792
01:08:03,362 --> 01:08:07,298
- Let me live my life. I know what I want.
- Don't let your life get twisted.
793
01:08:07,466 --> 01:08:10,435
It's not the same for you.
Your life is different.
794
01:08:10,603 --> 01:08:14,334
You're not someone who can put work
in one drawer, his life in another.
795
01:08:14,506 --> 01:08:17,771
Everything you do, everything
you think is a part of it.
796
01:08:17,943 --> 01:08:22,607
Wind me up and I play. Concerts on
request. Is that all I'm supposed to be?
797
01:08:22,781 --> 01:08:26,273
I want more. I'm not a machine.
I've got feelings too.
798
01:08:26,452 --> 01:08:28,511
You have to pay for what you get.
799
01:08:28,687 --> 01:08:31,850
Special people got
special things to pay for.
800
01:08:32,024 --> 01:08:34,720
- What's left for me?
- Music.
801
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:42,228
Be careful.
802
01:08:42,401 --> 01:08:46,963
The stakes are big. This isn't a two-hour
trip to Chinatown. This is for life.
803
01:08:47,606 --> 01:08:51,770
Think of the future. Think of what
it'll be next year and the year after.
804
01:08:51,944 --> 01:08:53,844
Think of your work.
805
01:09:37,022 --> 01:09:38,887
So long, Fitzie.
806
01:09:39,058 --> 01:09:40,753
Gina.
807
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:44,891
- It's good to see you. How are you, Gina?
- Hello, Paul.
808
01:09:45,064 --> 01:09:46,588
I hear the tour went well.
809
01:09:46,765 --> 01:09:49,199
Bauer thinks so.
Is he doing anything for you?
810
01:09:49,368 --> 01:09:51,700
It's slow. I'm with
the Block String Quartet.
811
01:09:51,870 --> 01:09:54,304
Leopold Stokowski
organized a youth orchestra.
812
01:09:54,473 --> 01:09:57,237
I thought Mr. Bauer
might arrange an audition for me.
813
01:09:57,409 --> 01:10:00,867
- It's arranged. Let's have lunch together.
- I really must wait...
814
01:10:01,046 --> 01:10:02,479
Sid's going to be there.
815
01:10:02,648 --> 01:10:05,549
The Block String Quartet.
Why hasn't anyone told me?
816
01:10:05,718 --> 01:10:07,583
Gee, it's nice to see you.
817
01:10:36,949 --> 01:10:41,215
- Why is Sid always late?
- You know Sid. He has no sense of time.
818
01:10:41,387 --> 01:10:42,854
It's a modern invention.
819
01:10:43,021 --> 01:10:46,184
Sid has no use for modern inventions.
820
01:10:46,358 --> 01:10:49,418
Maybe he's right. No one
seems to have time anymore.
821
01:10:49,595 --> 01:10:53,156
I've been up to my ears, the tour,
recordings, Bauer. You know.
822
01:10:53,332 --> 01:10:56,199
- No, I don't.
- You're not angry with me, are you?
823
01:10:56,368 --> 01:11:00,236
You're a blank check in my emotions.
Any amount you want you can write in.
824
01:11:00,406 --> 01:11:03,432
- Gina, what's the matter with you?
- You've changed.
825
01:11:03,609 --> 01:11:05,975
Me? Maybe you've changed.
826
01:11:06,612 --> 01:11:10,343
You're successful. You're in the limelight.
That makes you different.
827
01:11:10,516 --> 01:11:12,780
Maybe I'm a little jealous.
828
01:11:12,951 --> 01:11:18,548
We ought to be able to forget old friends,
pack them away in some dim corner.
829
01:11:18,724 --> 01:11:21,989
- That would be the kindest way.
- What do you expect me to say?
830
01:11:22,161 --> 01:11:25,130
Roses are red,
violets are blue and so am I?
831
01:11:25,931 --> 01:11:27,057
I'm blue.
832
01:11:34,907 --> 01:11:38,138
Gina! This is like old home week.
833
01:11:38,310 --> 01:11:41,473
You look lovely. Has anyone
told you? Let me be the first.
834
01:11:41,647 --> 01:11:43,342
Helen, I...
835
01:11:43,515 --> 01:11:46,245
Do you know Mrs. Wright?
This is Miss Rommeney.
836
01:11:46,418 --> 01:11:47,544
- Hello.
- Hello.
837
01:11:47,719 --> 01:11:51,382
Every day and every way.
Here, let me give you a kiss.
838
01:11:52,157 --> 01:11:55,786
- Well, won't you join us?
- Sorry. I can't stay.
839
01:11:55,961 --> 01:11:59,920
I just came to add my congratulations
to the general acclaim.
840
01:12:00,299 --> 01:12:02,494
Excuse me, please.
841
01:12:03,235 --> 01:12:06,671
Hey, wait a minute.
Thanks for the lift downtown.
842
01:12:08,474 --> 01:12:12,137
See? When I'm courteous, I'm ignored.
843
01:12:14,179 --> 01:12:17,080
- Maybe I'll never see him again.
- You'll see him again.
844
01:12:17,249 --> 01:12:20,343
Temporarily, he's on his way
to placate a jealous woman.
845
01:12:20,919 --> 01:12:24,685
- You hear about the tour? We stunned them.
- Sid, what is she like?
846
01:12:25,357 --> 01:12:26,824
Helen?
847
01:12:27,292 --> 01:12:31,888
She's as complex as a Bach fugue,
born with a silver flask in her mouth.
848
01:12:32,064 --> 01:12:34,532
Helen has a big alumnus
association behind her.
849
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,333
- She's quite a gal.
- So it seems.
850
01:12:39,071 --> 01:12:42,040
- You're quite a gal yourself.
- You're nice, Sid.
851
01:12:42,241 --> 01:12:45,574
Say I'm wonderful or unbearable,
but don't ever say I'm nice.
852
01:12:45,744 --> 01:12:48,770
I was in love once. It took me
two weeks to get over her.
853
01:12:48,947 --> 01:12:53,350
I played all the 32 Beethoven sonatas.
It took exactly two weeks.
854
01:12:53,519 --> 01:12:58,718
So it ain't funny. Why don't we get drunk.
Drink to laurel wreaths and curtain calls.
855
01:12:58,891 --> 01:13:01,917
- To fame, fortune and success.
- I wanna get out of here.
856
01:13:02,094 --> 01:13:03,391
Sure.
857
01:13:03,562 --> 01:13:08,329
There's an old Irish saying. "Light your pipe.
There's only wind and smoke in the world."
858
01:13:08,500 --> 01:13:10,559
Translation: Easy does it.
859
01:13:10,736 --> 01:13:12,829
Easy does it every time, baby.
860
01:13:16,542 --> 01:13:20,478
Want piano lessons? Twenty-five
cents a lesson, you'll be my only pupil.
861
01:13:20,646 --> 01:13:23,240
You think you're better
than I am, don't you?
862
01:13:55,547 --> 01:13:58,482
- For you, sir?
- Sure, why not.
863
01:14:05,157 --> 01:14:09,491
- How many years did you study the whistle?
- It's a secondary instrument with me.
864
01:14:09,661 --> 01:14:13,825
- The violin is my dish.
- Where did you meet her? Philadelphia?
865
01:14:13,999 --> 01:14:17,765
- Is she one of your ardent admirers?
- Gina is an old friend.
866
01:14:17,936 --> 01:14:19,198
Obviously.
867
01:14:19,371 --> 01:14:22,670
Did you play hopscotch with her
on the sidewalks in your youth?
868
01:14:22,841 --> 01:14:25,139
She was at the Institute.
She's a musician.
869
01:14:26,545 --> 01:14:28,877
That must give you
a great deal in common.
870
01:14:29,047 --> 01:14:31,982
- Invite me the next time you play a duet.
- I will.
871
01:14:36,955 --> 01:14:38,889
Why didn't you call me?
872
01:14:39,057 --> 01:14:41,355
Philadelphia isn't the end of the world.
873
01:14:41,526 --> 01:14:43,391
I didn't want to.
874
01:14:44,563 --> 01:14:47,623
Thanks. That's nice of you.
875
01:14:48,567 --> 01:14:52,094
- I wanted time to think.
- How convenient.
876
01:14:52,270 --> 01:14:55,364
Men want the convenience
and none of the difficulties.
877
01:14:55,540 --> 01:15:00,034
- What did you think about, Tchaikovsky?
- I thought about us.
878
01:15:00,212 --> 01:15:03,340
- You don't expect me to believe that.
- I don't care.
879
01:15:03,515 --> 01:15:06,712
- I'd like to slap your face.
- Why don't you try it.
880
01:15:13,692 --> 01:15:16,126
I'm sorry I did that.
881
01:15:18,879 --> 01:15:19,903
The glass is wet.
882
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:22,605
It makes circles on the table.
883
01:15:23,584 --> 01:15:25,245
Let's get out of here.
884
01:16:05,993 --> 01:16:10,157
- I'm tired of quarrels.
- It's not my doing. I didn't want it.
885
01:16:10,330 --> 01:16:13,788
Did you think you could go away
for weeks, never call or write...
886
01:16:13,967 --> 01:16:18,301
...and come find me hanging in a closet
like a suit you might put on someday?
887
01:16:18,706 --> 01:16:22,164
Paul, what good is a woman
if she's no use to anyone?
888
01:16:22,342 --> 01:16:23,570
I...
889
01:16:23,744 --> 01:16:27,578
- I owe you a great deal.
- Oh, give it to charity.
890
01:16:29,583 --> 01:16:31,551
Let me help you.
891
01:16:31,719 --> 01:16:34,119
Let me help in the small ways that I can.
892
01:16:34,555 --> 01:16:38,924
You have talent, something solid
to hang onto no matter what happens.
893
01:16:39,460 --> 01:16:41,553
I envy you that.
894
01:16:41,729 --> 01:16:45,221
I'll live without the grand opera
love is supposed to be, only...
895
01:16:45,399 --> 01:16:47,959
...don't close me out of your life.
Please don't.
896
01:16:48,135 --> 01:16:50,399
Take me into your life.
897
01:16:50,904 --> 01:16:52,963
You're married, Helen.
898
01:16:53,140 --> 01:16:55,005
We're both old enough to vote.
899
01:16:57,377 --> 01:16:59,777
It makes me laugh,
how much alike we are.
900
01:16:59,947 --> 01:17:03,974
This sparring around like
two wrestlers looking for a hold.
901
01:17:05,152 --> 01:17:10,818
At times, a sense of humor's welcome.
We don't laugh enough. That's our trouble.
902
01:17:11,391 --> 01:17:15,350
It's your fault.
I think you were born angry.
903
01:17:15,529 --> 01:17:19,625
- I don't like angry people.
- Evidently, you don't think much of me.
904
01:17:20,134 --> 01:17:22,125
I love you, so I don't care
what I think of you.
905
01:21:43,530 --> 01:21:46,260
Mr. Jeffers, is Mr. Boray your prot�g�?
906
01:21:46,433 --> 01:21:48,867
Our relationship is like
George Sand to Chopin.
907
01:21:49,036 --> 01:21:52,267
Could you induce Mr. Boray
to come to a small party tonight?
908
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:55,931
- I'll have to see the guest list first.
- Mr. Jeffers!
909
01:21:56,109 --> 01:22:00,671
I'll have to call off our date.
I'm sorry. It's okay, let him in.
910
01:22:00,847 --> 01:22:04,146
- I'm his cousin.
- They don't even believe I'm his father!
911
01:22:04,317 --> 01:22:07,980
- I hope that hasn't troubled you before?
- Wait, Sid. Esther. I forgot.
912
01:22:08,155 --> 01:22:11,090
Esther and the whole family
are in there. Let's go in.
913
01:22:11,258 --> 01:22:14,921
- Imagine. I'm his father.
- You're brilliant, Mr. Boray.
914
01:22:15,095 --> 01:22:17,188
Paul, you were wonderful.
915
01:22:17,364 --> 01:22:19,161
- My boy.
- Terrific, Paul.
916
01:22:19,332 --> 01:22:21,766
I hope I can play as well as you.
917
01:23:17,124 --> 01:23:21,322
Bravo! Bravo! Encore! Encore!
I'm the second greatest pianist.
918
01:23:21,495 --> 01:23:24,430
I won't mention the first.
Too many guys would get sore.
919
01:23:24,598 --> 01:23:27,260
- You're the most conceited.
- I like to be the best.
920
01:23:27,434 --> 01:23:30,232
- Many objectionable people have talent.
- Is that so?
921
01:23:30,403 --> 01:23:33,031
I know a lot of talented people
who are objectionable.
922
01:23:33,440 --> 01:23:35,635
- Is that so?
- Where's that magazine?
923
01:23:35,809 --> 01:23:38,835
The one that said I'm
the white hope of the musical world.
924
01:23:39,012 --> 01:23:41,981
It's gotta be easy enough to find.
You bought 12 copies.
925
01:23:42,149 --> 01:23:43,673
Here it is.
926
01:23:44,484 --> 01:23:47,009
- Not bad.
- First, they discovered Bugs Bunny...
927
01:23:47,187 --> 01:23:51,385
...then Jack Benny and Shostakovich.
Now the great Paul Boray!
928
01:23:51,558 --> 01:23:53,458
What? Don't I rate their praises?
929
01:23:53,627 --> 01:23:56,755
You rate a kick in the pants
if you believe everything.
930
01:23:56,963 --> 01:23:58,954
The prosecuting attorney in my life.
931
01:23:59,132 --> 01:24:00,895
You won't let me think I'm good.
932
01:24:01,067 --> 01:24:03,467
- Your schooling's ahead, Paul.
- That's tough.
933
01:24:03,637 --> 01:24:08,097
You follow one success with another.
Then we'll see how tough you are.
934
01:24:14,114 --> 01:24:16,776
- Mom, Pop, how are you?
- Hello, Paul.
935
01:24:16,950 --> 01:24:18,577
Come on in.
936
01:24:25,859 --> 01:24:27,884
- Hello, Sidney.
- Hello.
937
01:24:28,061 --> 01:24:30,996
- How do you like it, huh?
- Wonderful.
938
01:24:31,164 --> 01:24:33,758
Well, it looks bigger than it is.
939
01:24:33,934 --> 01:24:36,732
It's only two rooms, a bedroom,
this room and kitchen.
940
01:24:36,903 --> 01:24:39,667
I'm gonna work in here.
Come on, look around.
941
01:24:39,839 --> 01:24:42,239
We got a real view.
We can see the river.
942
01:24:42,409 --> 01:24:45,867
You know, we can get a sea breeze too.
943
01:24:46,546 --> 01:24:48,377
Why, it's an eagle's nest.
944
01:24:48,548 --> 01:24:51,642
- How do you like it, Mom?
- Where did you get the drapes?
945
01:24:51,818 --> 01:24:54,514
Mrs. Wright picked them out.
You like them?
946
01:24:56,756 --> 01:25:00,317
- Nice drapes.
- That's the kitchen. It's not very big.
947
01:25:00,493 --> 01:25:03,053
But then I'm not a very good cook.
948
01:25:03,230 --> 01:25:06,461
Well, Sidney, what do you think
of my Paul's apartment?
949
01:25:06,633 --> 01:25:08,328
I don't know what to say.
950
01:25:08,735 --> 01:25:12,762
Paul has an itch to live a life of fashion
and nothing will cure him.
951
01:25:12,939 --> 01:25:16,807
Everything's so expensive and fancy,
but what is this ugly pot doing here?
952
01:25:17,277 --> 01:25:21,373
My psychoanalyst told me it reminds me
of something that happened in my youth.
953
01:25:21,548 --> 01:25:24,745
So long as you're happy, Sidney,
that's all that matters.
954
01:25:35,996 --> 01:25:40,296
Esther, look, our picture's in
a silver frame. It's nice, isn't it?
955
01:25:45,705 --> 01:25:49,766
A woman told me this morning
I look like an owl. I don't see it.
956
01:25:49,943 --> 01:25:53,174
I think Mom's still mad at me.
957
01:25:53,613 --> 01:25:58,380
Paul, you know women. All mothers
think their son's a baby till he gets bald.
958
01:25:58,551 --> 01:26:00,849
No, I don't think
she likes the apartment.
959
01:26:01,021 --> 01:26:03,512
I don't think she thinks
it's right. Do you?
960
01:26:03,690 --> 01:26:06,887
Well, with all due respect,
there are some things, but...
961
01:26:07,060 --> 01:26:10,826
Paul, do what you think is right.
Statistics show you'll never be wrong.
962
01:26:10,997 --> 01:26:15,696
- Now, what's through here?
- The bedroom, dressing room and shower.
963
01:26:15,869 --> 01:26:19,305
A room for every occasion.
It's wonderful.
964
01:26:21,908 --> 01:26:25,503
- What do you think you'll find, Mom?
- What I find wherever I look.
965
01:26:25,679 --> 01:26:29,775
- I can't take this seriously.
- You don't know what you're doing.
966
01:26:29,949 --> 01:26:33,510
- Mom, don't be old-fashioned.
- Is that what you call it?
967
01:26:33,687 --> 01:26:36,349
It's your life, but remember, I told you.
968
01:26:36,523 --> 01:26:40,118
All right. I'm in love with her.
Is that what you want me to say?
969
01:26:40,293 --> 01:26:43,922
You know what she is. There's
something wrong with a woman like that.
970
01:26:44,097 --> 01:26:48,397
- Please, you don't know what you're saying.
- Believe me, it's no good.
971
01:26:48,568 --> 01:26:51,833
- What can marriage mean to her?
- You never gave her a chance.
972
01:26:52,005 --> 01:26:54,064
You never liked her, never tried.
973
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:57,403
- I won't have you talk about her.
- I need your permission?
974
01:26:57,577 --> 01:27:00,307
Don't try to tell me what to do!
975
01:27:07,554 --> 01:27:12,856
Paul, did you know man is 60 percent
water? I read it in the paper the other day.
976
01:27:14,561 --> 01:27:17,257
There's a leak here.
Talk to the landlord about it.
977
01:27:17,430 --> 01:27:19,125
I'll talk to him.
978
01:27:30,910 --> 01:27:35,040
- Is it really possible to hit the bull's eye?
- Yes, with practice.
979
01:27:35,215 --> 01:27:38,878
- Like everything else, I suppose.
- Like most things.
980
01:27:39,319 --> 01:27:42,254
Had a curious conversation
the other day.
981
01:27:42,422 --> 01:27:44,117
A friend of mine...
982
01:27:44,290 --> 01:27:46,087
...wanted some advice.
983
01:27:46,259 --> 01:27:48,352
He's having trouble...
984
01:27:48,528 --> 01:27:50,291
...with his wife.
985
01:27:51,664 --> 01:27:53,894
A young man involved.
986
01:27:54,300 --> 01:27:58,430
And he, my friend,
doesn't quite know what to do.
987
01:27:58,605 --> 01:28:01,574
Of course, he hasn't
the right to do anything.
988
01:28:01,741 --> 01:28:05,768
- No? Why?
- He's only an excuse for a man, really.
989
01:28:05,945 --> 01:28:09,176
Never done very much.
Never wanted to.
990
01:28:09,349 --> 01:28:11,647
Fates and a few energetic ancestors...
991
01:28:11,818 --> 01:28:15,083
...have allowed him to lead
a rather soft and easy life.
992
01:28:15,688 --> 01:28:17,781
On the whole, he prefers it that way.
993
01:28:17,957 --> 01:28:20,016
Naturally, his wife...
994
01:28:20,193 --> 01:28:24,391
...quite a personality
in her own right, never liked that.
995
01:28:24,564 --> 01:28:27,192
Always a bit contemptuous of him.
996
01:28:27,367 --> 01:28:31,463
The peculiar thing is that
he loves his wife very much.
997
01:28:31,638 --> 01:28:34,368
In his own way, of course.
998
01:28:34,541 --> 01:28:36,736
He's never been able
to prove it to her.
999
01:28:36,910 --> 01:28:39,208
Not man enough, I suppose.
1000
01:28:39,579 --> 01:28:42,343
Not enough character,
as the Good Book says.
1001
01:28:43,216 --> 01:28:47,448
Still, he's learned to make less mess
in public than any man living.
1002
01:28:47,620 --> 01:28:50,020
Of course, that's only a negative virtue.
1003
01:28:50,190 --> 01:28:52,954
It doesn't fool a wife for very long.
1004
01:28:53,526 --> 01:28:55,858
What do you know?
I hit the bull's eye.
1005
01:28:56,029 --> 01:29:00,227
So all things considered, he's thinking
of giving his wife a divorce.
1006
01:29:00,900 --> 01:29:03,994
- You think that's a reasonable solution?
- Victor, stop it.
1007
01:29:04,671 --> 01:29:06,935
- Why don't you.
- There's nothing to stop.
1008
01:29:07,106 --> 01:29:09,267
- Rumor has it otherwise.
- Only rumor?
1009
01:29:09,442 --> 01:29:12,502
No backstairs gossip?
No anonymous letters?
1010
01:29:13,313 --> 01:29:14,610
I'm sorry, Helen...
1011
01:29:14,781 --> 01:29:17,750
...rumor is a dubious
and rather nasty authority.
1012
01:29:24,023 --> 01:29:26,992
What can this boy give you?
Suppose you do marry him...
1013
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:28,559
...how long would it last?
1014
01:29:28,728 --> 01:29:31,629
How long before you get tired
of him, or he of you?
1015
01:29:31,798 --> 01:29:34,323
You know yourself better
than anyone else, Helen.
1016
01:29:34,501 --> 01:29:36,628
Can you change now?
1017
01:29:36,803 --> 01:29:39,567
And if you don't, do you really
believe he'll change?
1018
01:29:39,739 --> 01:29:41,969
He doesn't know
what it means to be soft.
1019
01:29:42,141 --> 01:29:44,371
Nothing means anything
to him but music.
1020
01:29:44,544 --> 01:29:49,072
- I never said I wanted to marry him.
- Do you love him?
1021
01:29:49,983 --> 01:29:52,543
You say you've loved me, Victor.
1022
01:29:52,719 --> 01:29:54,812
But what kind of a love has it been?
1023
01:29:54,988 --> 01:29:59,220
I know you've always been courteous
and always remembered my birthday.
1024
01:29:59,392 --> 01:30:04,125
But is that the final sum and substance
of our marriage? Courtesy and greetings?
1025
01:30:05,565 --> 01:30:07,465
I know what I am.
1026
01:30:07,634 --> 01:30:09,693
I know what I've become.
1027
01:30:09,869 --> 01:30:13,600
I've never had the chance to love.
You don't like emotions.
1028
01:30:13,773 --> 01:30:18,472
They're wearing. They make demands.
They interfere with the pleasant life.
1029
01:30:19,279 --> 01:30:24,774
So I've learned to hide away love
and hate and everything strong in me.
1030
01:30:24,951 --> 01:30:27,886
I've tucked them away
where they wouldn't bother us.
1031
01:30:28,054 --> 01:30:31,455
We've hung a sign on our lives,
"Do Not Disturb."
1032
01:30:32,559 --> 01:30:35,084
You can have the divorce, Helen.
1033
01:35:20,746 --> 01:35:24,546
- Mr. Boray, a note for you.
- Thanks.
1034
01:35:32,825 --> 01:35:36,386
- May we take it again from letter G, please?
- Certainly.
1035
01:35:36,562 --> 01:35:37,824
- Thanks.
- Letter G.
1036
01:36:04,190 --> 01:36:05,919
- Hello?
- Hello, Sid?
1037
01:36:06,092 --> 01:36:07,559
- Yeah?
- Have you seen Helen?
1038
01:36:07,727 --> 01:36:10,389
She was supposed to meet meat the club for dinner.
1039
01:36:10,563 --> 01:36:12,963
It's 2:30 in the morning.
Have dinner alone.
1040
01:36:13,132 --> 01:36:17,068
- Stop kidding. Have you seen her?
- She was with Loeffler. Try Teddy's bar.
1041
01:36:17,236 --> 01:36:20,171
- Okay.
- If not, call me back in an hour.
1042
01:36:20,339 --> 01:36:22,603
I ought to be asleep by then.
1043
01:37:29,408 --> 01:37:31,774
Does she have to sing that?
1044
01:37:32,378 --> 01:37:34,972
Why don't you hire
a good trombone player, Teddy.
1045
01:37:35,147 --> 01:37:39,049
Ask her to stop, Teddy.
She's annoying Mrs. Wright.
1046
01:37:39,218 --> 01:37:41,709
No offense, I hope, Teddy.
1047
01:37:41,887 --> 01:37:44,048
No offense, Mrs. Wright.
1048
01:37:44,223 --> 01:37:46,123
No offense.
1049
01:37:52,865 --> 01:37:55,026
Well, what do you know?
1050
01:37:55,201 --> 01:37:56,691
This place is haunted.
1051
01:38:00,673 --> 01:38:02,971
Hello, Paul.
1052
01:38:03,142 --> 01:38:06,111
How about a drink
for the gentleman, Teddy.
1053
01:38:06,278 --> 01:38:08,940
What are you looking at?
Don't you want a drink?
1054
01:38:09,115 --> 01:38:13,108
- Gentleman's changed his mind.
- You've had enough.
1055
01:38:14,553 --> 01:38:16,180
I'm thirsty.
1056
01:38:16,355 --> 01:38:18,448
- Nothing for you? Sure?
- Nothing.
1057
01:38:18,624 --> 01:38:20,387
I wanna take you home.
1058
01:38:20,826 --> 01:38:22,726
The gallant knight.
1059
01:38:22,895 --> 01:38:26,058
Quiet. Soft music.
My friend's being considerate.
1060
01:38:26,232 --> 01:38:27,961
He wants to take me home.
1061
01:38:28,134 --> 01:38:31,160
- The way you took me to dinner?
- I'm sorry. I was held up.
1062
01:38:31,337 --> 01:38:34,704
- The rehearsal lasted longer.
- I can't spend my life waiting.
1063
01:38:34,874 --> 01:38:36,671
- I came as soon as I could.
- Wasn't soon enough.
1064
01:38:36,842 --> 01:38:38,241
Helen, I'm tired.
1065
01:38:38,411 --> 01:38:40,936
- Only the usual.
- I wanna go home, get some rest.
1066
01:38:41,113 --> 01:38:42,444
- Go ahead.
- You're coming.
1067
01:38:42,615 --> 01:38:44,310
Leave me alone.
1068
01:38:44,483 --> 01:38:49,182
Go back to your music. I'm tired of playing
second fiddle to the ghost of Beethoven.
1069
01:38:49,355 --> 01:38:51,550
- Put it down.
- Mind your own business.
1070
01:38:51,724 --> 01:38:54,852
- No offense. Mind your own business.
- I said, put it down.
1071
01:38:55,027 --> 01:38:58,929
- Look, I don't think Mrs. Wright wants...
- Take your hands off him, Teddy.
1072
01:38:59,098 --> 01:39:02,192
I'm sorry. No offense.
1073
01:39:03,569 --> 01:39:06,367
That's my line, no offense.
1074
01:39:07,706 --> 01:39:09,173
No offense, anybody.
1075
01:39:19,885 --> 01:39:23,514
- Let me alone, Paul. I'm a lost crusade.
- Turn around.
1076
01:39:26,692 --> 01:39:28,887
You're a hangman's noose to me.
1077
01:39:29,061 --> 01:39:30,858
Please leave me alone.
1078
01:39:31,030 --> 01:39:33,328
Say good night.
1079
01:39:37,570 --> 01:39:39,936
Good night, Monte.
1080
01:39:40,106 --> 01:39:41,630
- Night, Teddy.
- Night, Helen.
1081
01:39:41,807 --> 01:39:43,399
Night, Mrs. Wright.
1082
01:39:49,882 --> 01:39:53,249
A French philosopher once listed
300 ways of committing suicide.
1083
01:39:53,419 --> 01:39:54,909
- Yeah?
- He left one out:
1084
01:39:55,087 --> 01:39:57,681
Falling in love with an artist.
1085
01:40:06,932 --> 01:40:09,901
Be careful, that's the only pot
that was ever true to me.
1086
01:40:10,069 --> 01:40:11,263
Drink your coffee.
1087
01:40:11,437 --> 01:40:14,372
Here we go again.
Only a man who doesn't drink...
1088
01:40:14,540 --> 01:40:17,907
...thinks black coffee sobers you up.
- I envy people who drink.
1089
01:40:18,077 --> 01:40:22,309
- They know what to blame everything on.
- If it's so simple, why don't you drink?
1090
01:40:22,481 --> 01:40:24,881
- I have no character.
- Don't brag.
1091
01:40:25,050 --> 01:40:27,143
- How do you feel?
- Who, me?
1092
01:40:27,319 --> 01:40:28,877
Oh, wonderful.
1093
01:40:29,054 --> 01:40:33,218
I need a hot towel or a cold shower.
Either or both or vice versa.
1094
01:40:33,392 --> 01:40:35,917
I hate cold showers. They stimulate me.
1095
01:40:36,095 --> 01:40:38,962
- Then I don't know what to do.
- Try getting some sleep.
1096
01:40:39,131 --> 01:40:41,895
It's an idea, not original.
I had the idea hours ago.
1097
01:40:42,067 --> 01:40:44,695
You were playing games
with phones and doorbells.
1098
01:40:44,870 --> 01:40:49,273
Maybe it's a personal idiosyncrasy of mine,
but loud noises never put me to sleep.
1099
01:40:49,441 --> 01:40:52,205
- Sure there's nothing else I can do?
- Yeah, I'm sure.
1100
01:40:52,378 --> 01:40:56,337
Maybe I can play the Hammerklavier sonata.
Takes an hour if I leave out the repeats.
1101
01:40:56,515 --> 01:40:58,380
Good night, Sid.
1102
01:40:58,551 --> 01:41:00,746
- Sure you don't need me?
- Good night, Sid.
1103
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:03,855
Okay, remember, I'm not taking
any more calls tonight.
1104
01:41:04,023 --> 01:41:06,821
I'm entered in a dog show.
I have to be up at 6:00.
1105
01:41:06,992 --> 01:41:09,222
- Think I have a chance?
- You'll do great.
1106
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:36,880
Autumn's a sad time of year.
1107
01:41:37,056 --> 01:41:40,685
When I was a kid, it meant
the holidays were over. Back to school.
1108
01:41:40,859 --> 01:41:45,819
It's a pretty sight from up here. Not so
pretty close up, though. Nothing ever is.
1109
01:41:45,998 --> 01:41:48,831
The Boray point of view.
The top of the world.
1110
01:41:52,204 --> 01:41:55,332
- What are you thinking about?
- What happened tonight?
1111
01:41:56,675 --> 01:42:00,406
I spoke to Victor.
He'll give me the divorce.
1112
01:42:04,783 --> 01:42:07,308
- Did you hear?
- Yes, I heard.
1113
01:42:08,954 --> 01:42:12,082
- He was very kind about it.
- Was he?
1114
01:42:12,258 --> 01:42:14,192
What else did he say?
1115
01:42:15,127 --> 01:42:18,028
- Nothing.
- What else did he say, Helen?
1116
01:42:18,197 --> 01:42:22,031
- I tell you, that's all he said.
- Then why the tears? Why the dramatics?
1117
01:42:22,201 --> 01:42:24,431
Why not? I'm losing a husband.
1118
01:42:24,603 --> 01:42:27,731
You're hiding something.
I know you too well. What happened?
1119
01:42:27,906 --> 01:42:31,137
- Why did you go out with Monte?
- He offered to buy me a drink.
1120
01:42:31,310 --> 01:42:34,006
- You do well enough without him.
- I like to drink.
1121
01:42:34,413 --> 01:42:37,905
- It's an escape you once told me.
- I once told you I loved you.
1122
01:42:38,083 --> 01:42:40,313
Why don't you remember that?
1123
01:42:40,519 --> 01:42:45,513
- Helen, Helen...
- Don't hold out hope. Beware of pity.
1124
01:42:45,691 --> 01:42:48,660
I love you. I wanna marry you.
1125
01:42:48,827 --> 01:42:52,160
Marry. It's an easy word to say, isn't it?
1126
01:42:52,331 --> 01:42:55,095
It rolls so trippingly off the tongue.
1127
01:42:55,267 --> 01:42:57,497
The bride wore white. No.
1128
01:42:58,203 --> 01:43:02,469
That's only for the first marriage.
Red for the second, black for the third.
1129
01:43:02,641 --> 01:43:06,008
- Stop it.
- What are you afraid of, Paul? The truth?
1130
01:43:06,178 --> 01:43:09,579
You don't want me, not really.
It's someone you made up.
1131
01:43:09,748 --> 01:43:13,741
You need the homemaker type. Outside of
music, you cherish standard virtues.
1132
01:43:13,919 --> 01:43:17,411
No, you don't want me, Paul.
I'm too wearing on the nerves.
1133
01:43:18,123 --> 01:43:21,024
- Why hold up the wall? Let it fall.
- You don't know...
1134
01:43:21,193 --> 01:43:24,924
- I won't change, you know.
- I'm not asking you to anymore.
1135
01:43:26,031 --> 01:43:28,761
- It won't work, I tell you.
- How do we know?
1136
01:43:28,934 --> 01:43:31,596
Why don't you say it?
Speak out clear with courage.
1137
01:43:31,770 --> 01:43:34,068
Can't you say you don't love me
and never wanna see me?
1138
01:43:34,239 --> 01:43:38,676
- I wanna marry you.
- You're married already. Married to work.
1139
01:43:38,844 --> 01:43:41,608
You're married to your music.
You'll never marry me.
1140
01:43:41,780 --> 01:43:45,113
Don't forget your music, Paul.
Don't ever forget your music.
1141
01:43:45,284 --> 01:43:50,085
- How I hate music. I detest it.
- Stop it. Stop it.
1142
01:43:50,756 --> 01:43:53,782
Don't fight. Don't try to fight anymore.
1143
01:43:54,827 --> 01:43:57,853
No, I won't. I can't.
1144
01:44:00,566 --> 01:44:02,431
I love you, Paul.
1145
01:44:03,168 --> 01:44:04,897
I love you.
1146
01:44:06,705 --> 01:44:10,903
- Hello, Mrs. Sheff. What can I do for you?
- I want some candy for my Monroe.
1147
01:44:11,076 --> 01:44:13,101
I have just what you want.
1148
01:44:14,046 --> 01:44:16,708
- All-day suckers.
- They're so small.
1149
01:44:16,882 --> 01:44:19,749
But the days are getting shorter,
Mrs. Sheff.
1150
01:44:19,918 --> 01:44:23,615
- And I want some bologna.
- I have some nice bologna with garlic.
1151
01:44:23,789 --> 01:44:25,416
Over on this side.
1152
01:44:25,591 --> 01:44:27,286
Oh, excuse me.
1153
01:44:31,463 --> 01:44:33,693
I'll be with you in a minute.
1154
01:44:40,606 --> 01:44:42,164
Mrs. Wright.
1155
01:44:42,341 --> 01:44:44,935
Hope you don't mind my coming.
I should've called.
1156
01:44:45,110 --> 01:44:48,170
Oh, don't apologize.
It's a pleasure. It's an honor.
1157
01:44:48,347 --> 01:44:51,373
I bet you haven't been in many
grocery stores, have you?
1158
01:44:51,550 --> 01:44:55,350
It's too bad it isn't tomorrow.
I'm getting a new slicing machine.
1159
01:44:55,521 --> 01:44:58,115
Paul bought it for me.
Cuts bread and everything.
1160
01:44:58,290 --> 01:45:00,485
Would you believe it?
You push a button:
1161
01:45:00,659 --> 01:45:01,990
The slices come out even.
1162
01:45:02,161 --> 01:45:05,528
I don't think Mrs. Wright
came to hear these things, Rudy.
1163
01:45:07,666 --> 01:45:11,693
- Will you come upstairs, Mrs. Wright?
- Thank you.
1164
01:45:22,915 --> 01:45:26,407
Mrs. Wright of Fifth Avenue,
friend of the family.
1165
01:45:26,585 --> 01:45:31,079
- I've got friends on Second Avenue.
- I'll cut your bologna.
1166
01:45:33,225 --> 01:45:36,251
Why did you come here?
You didn't have to.
1167
01:45:37,362 --> 01:45:41,059
I have one virtue, Mrs. Boray.
I've never lied to myself.
1168
01:45:41,967 --> 01:45:46,961
I've lived a meaningless and absurd life
among silly and rather futile people.
1169
01:45:47,139 --> 01:45:49,232
I tried to run away from it.
1170
01:45:50,209 --> 01:45:54,111
The easiest way, of course,
was drinking.
1171
01:45:55,247 --> 01:45:58,273
- But it didn't work.
- And now it's Paul?
1172
01:45:58,450 --> 01:46:01,283
Another chance to run away.
Another chance to escape.
1173
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:05,781
Oh, no. No, Paul
never meant that to me.
1174
01:46:06,525 --> 01:46:08,891
Do you know why I tried
to help him at first?
1175
01:46:09,061 --> 01:46:12,087
I thought he needed
my money. But he didn't.
1176
01:46:12,898 --> 01:46:16,095
He wants to marry you. Marry.
1177
01:46:16,668 --> 01:46:21,332
You've been married before, Mrs. Wright.
How many times? Three, four?
1178
01:46:21,874 --> 01:46:26,106
And you've failed. And if
you fail now, what happens to Paul?
1179
01:46:26,545 --> 01:46:28,604
What about his work, his music?
1180
01:46:28,780 --> 01:46:33,114
He's put his whole life into it.
Do you know what that means to him?
1181
01:46:35,087 --> 01:46:37,920
You talk about love. What love?
1182
01:46:38,390 --> 01:46:41,757
You only make demands.
You only think of yourself.
1183
01:46:41,927 --> 01:46:43,485
You give nothing in return.
1184
01:46:43,896 --> 01:46:47,059
Leave him, Mrs. Wright.
Leave him alone.
1185
01:46:51,169 --> 01:46:54,730
- How old was he then?
- Eleven.
1186
01:47:09,922 --> 01:47:14,325
You know, every time I play a concert,
I feel those critical knives being sharpened.
1187
01:47:14,493 --> 01:47:16,154
And my scalp begins to tingle.
1188
01:47:16,328 --> 01:47:18,694
Say, did Sid tell you
about Helen and me?
1189
01:47:18,864 --> 01:47:21,389
- Yes, since you asked.
- She's getting a divorce.
1190
01:47:21,567 --> 01:47:24,502
Well, what do you think?
She's gonna marry me.
1191
01:47:25,737 --> 01:47:30,265
She'll add salt and pepper to your life.
She's quite a woman, if I'm any judge.
1192
01:47:31,109 --> 01:47:33,168
- Is she drinking?
- Not a drop.
1193
01:47:33,345 --> 01:47:35,870
Well, that's more than
I can say for myself.
1194
01:47:36,048 --> 01:47:39,017
- But then, I'm not in love.
- I know your type.
1195
01:47:39,184 --> 01:47:42,153
You believe in marriage
only as a last resort.
1196
01:47:42,588 --> 01:47:47,082
- How are you feeling this evening, sir?
- Complicated question. Haven't time for that.
1197
01:47:47,993 --> 01:47:51,156
- Helen's tickets are still at the box office.
- Are you sure?
1198
01:47:51,330 --> 01:47:54,788
She may be a little late.
It's a long drive down from the beach.
1199
01:47:54,967 --> 01:47:56,491
My mother?
1200
01:47:57,569 --> 01:47:59,161
The box is empty.
1201
01:47:59,605 --> 01:48:00,970
Thanks.
1202
01:48:07,913 --> 01:48:09,403
Hello.
1203
01:48:09,581 --> 01:48:12,379
Just a moment. It's Helen.
1204
01:48:15,220 --> 01:48:18,781
Helen. Helen, where are you?
Why aren't you here?
1205
01:48:18,957 --> 01:48:23,587
Always the same thing. I have enough
to think about without trying to figure out...
1206
01:48:23,762 --> 01:48:28,290
...where you are and what you're doing?
Don't you realize I have a concert to play?
1207
01:48:28,467 --> 01:48:32,563
Do you wanna ruin my concert, ruin
my career, ruin everything, is that what?
1208
01:48:32,738 --> 01:48:34,501
Where are you?
What are you doing?
1209
01:48:34,673 --> 01:48:36,698
- Are you drinking?
- No.
1210
01:48:36,875 --> 01:48:39,241
No, I'm not drinking, really I'm not.
1211
01:48:39,845 --> 01:48:41,642
But I swear it, darling.
1212
01:48:41,813 --> 01:48:46,648
Please believe me, and don't scold.
I don't wanna be scolded anymore.
1213
01:48:46,818 --> 01:48:50,413
Yes. I should've called you.
I meant to come, up to the last minute.
1214
01:48:50,589 --> 01:48:53,752
I was all dressed and ready,
as a matter of fact... What?
1215
01:48:53,925 --> 01:48:56,291
But, Paul, it's so quiet here.
1216
01:48:56,461 --> 01:48:59,828
It's such a long drive and then
there will be so many people.
1217
01:49:00,999 --> 01:49:03,661
Please try and understand.
Don't make me explain.
1218
01:49:03,835 --> 01:49:08,704
It isn't as if I'll miss the concert. I won't.
The radio's on now. Can you hear it?
1219
01:49:09,408 --> 01:49:11,103
Paul?
1220
01:49:11,276 --> 01:49:14,973
You're still angry, aren't you?
Oh, yes, you are. I can tell.
1221
01:49:16,648 --> 01:49:18,582
Don't, Paul. Don't.
1222
01:49:18,750 --> 01:49:22,049
But of course I want it
to go well. You know that.
1223
01:49:22,220 --> 01:49:27,556
Oh, listen to me. Listen. Darling,
I'm sorry. I don't mean to worry you.
1224
01:49:27,726 --> 01:49:30,593
You mustn't worry
because everything's all right.
1225
01:49:30,762 --> 01:49:34,129
It's just that it's so quiet here.
1226
01:49:35,367 --> 01:49:38,495
The rest and quiet are doing
me a world of good.
1227
01:49:39,404 --> 01:49:43,704
It's so beautiful and peaceful.
There isn't a soul on the beach.
1228
01:49:43,875 --> 01:49:46,139
I can see the sky in the water.
1229
01:49:47,012 --> 01:49:50,106
There's a smudge of smoke
out there almost at the horizon.
1230
01:49:50,282 --> 01:49:53,149
It must be a boat, far, far out.
1231
01:49:53,485 --> 01:49:57,148
Paul, I wish we were onboard that boat.
1232
01:49:57,689 --> 01:50:01,455
So far out that we couldn't
see anything but sky and water.
1233
01:50:01,827 --> 01:50:03,761
Nothing more.
1234
01:50:05,297 --> 01:50:06,730
What?
1235
01:50:08,900 --> 01:50:10,891
You didn't hear?
1236
01:50:13,205 --> 01:50:14,536
No.
1237
01:50:15,507 --> 01:50:18,101
No, it wasn't important.
Really, it wasn't.
1238
01:50:20,812 --> 01:50:22,439
Yes. Yes.
1239
01:50:23,448 --> 01:50:27,316
No, he's gone. I told him he could go.
There's no one here. I'm all alone.
1240
01:50:27,486 --> 01:50:30,250
But of course I'm all right.
There's nothing wrong.
1241
01:50:31,289 --> 01:50:35,316
I'll tell you what. Come down tomorrow
and we'll drive back to town together.
1242
01:50:35,527 --> 01:50:38,052
What? Tonight?
1243
01:50:38,730 --> 01:50:41,255
All right, darling. Tonight if you want.
1244
01:50:41,433 --> 01:50:43,264
Oh, yes, I'll wait.
1245
01:50:44,603 --> 01:50:47,504
Paul? Paul, hello?
1246
01:50:50,909 --> 01:50:54,675
It's nothing. I just thought
you'd hung up, that's all.
1247
01:50:54,846 --> 01:50:56,313
Who?
1248
01:50:57,616 --> 01:51:01,416
Well, you go ahead. Of course
I understand. And good luck, darling.
1249
01:51:02,020 --> 01:51:03,487
Paul.
1250
01:51:07,959 --> 01:51:09,620
I love you.
1251
01:51:27,245 --> 01:51:31,079
This is Robert Corten again, talkingto you from Symphony Hall.
1252
01:51:31,550 --> 01:51:35,509
We now come to our guest soloistfor this evening, Mr. Paul Boray.
1253
01:51:36,188 --> 01:51:40,716
Mr. Boray is making his entrance onstage,followed by Mr. Sidney Jeffers.
1254
01:51:40,892 --> 01:51:45,886
Mr. Boray will play his own transcriptionof music from Richard Wagner's opera...
1255
01:51:46,064 --> 01:51:48,123
...Tristan and Isolde.
1256
01:51:49,267 --> 01:51:51,064
The houselights are lowered.
1257
01:51:51,870 --> 01:51:54,065
Here's to love.
1258
01:51:56,842 --> 01:51:59,777
And here's to the time
when we were little girls...
1259
01:51:59,945 --> 01:52:02,379
...no one asks to marry.
1260
01:55:05,997 --> 01:55:10,593
You know yourself better than anyoneelse, Helen. Can you change now?
1261
01:55:10,769 --> 01:55:14,227
And if you don't,do you really believe he'll change?
1262
01:55:14,806 --> 01:55:17,434
He doesn't knowwhat it means to be soft.
1263
01:55:17,609 --> 01:55:20,772
Nothing means anythingto him but his music.
1264
01:55:52,310 --> 01:55:55,609
Can't you realize I have a concertto play tonight?
1265
01:55:55,780 --> 01:56:00,114
Do you wanna ruin my concert, ruinmy career, ruin everything, is that what?
1266
02:02:18,596 --> 02:02:22,088
Why don't we go home.
There's nothing we can do here.
1267
02:02:26,704 --> 02:02:28,103
I...
1268
02:02:29,106 --> 02:02:30,971
I need a shave.
1269
02:02:32,109 --> 02:02:35,101
Having to shave every day. It's silly.
1270
02:02:36,347 --> 02:02:39,373
Shave every day. Why?
1271
02:02:39,550 --> 02:02:42,018
Why do I have to shave every day?
1272
02:02:52,697 --> 02:02:55,860
She once asked me
what it was like to live up here.
1273
02:02:56,033 --> 02:02:58,058
The Boray point of view.
1274
02:03:01,639 --> 02:03:03,163
It's lonely.
1275
02:03:04,275 --> 02:03:06,539
It all seemed so simple once.
1276
02:03:06,744 --> 02:03:11,078
Live your life, do your work,
as simple as all that.
1277
02:03:11,782 --> 02:03:14,080
You find out it's not that easy.
1278
02:03:14,752 --> 02:03:16,652
Nothing comes free.
1279
02:03:17,388 --> 02:03:21,188
One way or another,
you pay for what you are.
1280
02:03:21,359 --> 02:03:22,826
Yeah.
1281
02:03:32,970 --> 02:03:36,371
Tell Bauer not to worry.
1282
02:03:38,042 --> 02:03:40,636
I'm not running away.
1283
02:04:26,824 --> 02:04:28,815
