This one's all mine. 82 00:09:05,646 --> 00:09:07,748 To prove it, I have copies of the original... 83 00:09:07,848 --> 00:09:10,284 and the one I wrote to win you the grand prize. 84 00:09:10,518 --> 00:09:15,790 And yet not one word of acknowledgment? I don't exist here. 85 00:09:16,057 --> 00:09:18,959 I'm going to go to Sidney Ritter, tell him the whole story, 86 00:09:19,193 --> 00:09:20,861 and he'll find me work. 87 00:09:22,196 --> 00:09:25,132 - Yeah, I'm moving on. - Not yet! Not yet, Gabriel. 88 00:09:25,766 --> 00:09:27,301 I remember it so well. 89 00:09:28,502 --> 00:09:30,871 And you're right, it was five years. 90 00:09:31,772 --> 00:09:33,541 Freddie, the security guard, 91 00:09:33,641 --> 00:09:37,344 told me there was a man on the roof conducting my music. 92 00:09:37,445 --> 00:09:41,215 Consumed with curiosity, I left the orchestra alone. 93 00:09:42,016 --> 00:09:43,350 I watched you. 94 00:09:43,984 --> 00:09:46,253 I was very impressed. 95 00:09:46,387 --> 00:09:50,758 We talked. You showed me some of your original material. 96 00:09:50,858 --> 00:09:52,860 I took you on as my apprentice, remember? 97 00:09:53,294 --> 00:09:56,997 But that fairy tale doesn't have a happy ending. Goodbye. 98 00:09:57,098 --> 00:09:59,600 Not yet. Not yet, Gabriel. Not yet. 99 00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:01,836 I have been remiss. 100 00:10:02,069 --> 00:10:04,572 I don't even know if I'll ever be able to forgive myself. 101 00:10:05,473 --> 00:10:11,045 But the way I thank you will gladden your heart. 102 00:10:11,145 --> 00:10:12,246 Please. 103 00:10:12,813 --> 00:10:15,382 You know what this is?

I've no intention of fully humiliating myself. 117 00:11:05,833 --> 00:11:08,435 But I do intend to tell him of your huge talent, 118 00:11:08,536 --> 00:11:12,706 and to urge him to let you score his next movie on your own. 119 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,276 He'll listen to me. What say you? 120 00:11:16,677 --> 00:11:18,179 Bit of a shock, huh? 121 00:11:21,348 --> 00:11:23,083 Mr. Crawford... I'm sorry. 122 00:11:23,184 --> 00:11:26,153 Nonsense! You were right.
