3
00:02:20,794 --> 00:02:23,628
Do you have to play that?
You ought to know better.
4
00:02:47,054 --> 00:02:48,283
Run out. Run away.
5
00:02:48,689 --> 00:02:50,920
Run off somewhere
where they don't know you.
6
00:02:51,125 --> 00:02:54,823
Bury your violin in the deepest hole.
Still won't do you any good.
7
00:02:55,028 --> 00:02:57,793
You think you hate music now.
You don't, you couldn't.
8
00:02:57,998 --> 00:03:01,958
Music is a compulsion, an obsession.
You'll blow up if you don't play it.
9
00:03:02,503 --> 00:03:04,802
What did you think
a concert career would be?
10
00:03:05,005 --> 00:03:07,304
Something you put together
with toothpicks?
11
00:03:07,808 --> 00:03:10,744
Little ink spots and finger exercises?
12
00:03:10,944 --> 00:03:13,846
Drop a nickel in the slot
and out pops a concert?
13
00:03:16,450 --> 00:03:19,682
Look at them.
Look at your beauties.
14
00:03:20,354 --> 00:03:24,519
How many minutes, days, months, years
of your life are bedded in the waxed wood?
15
00:03:24,725 --> 00:03:26,591
There's your biography.
16
00:03:27,461 --> 00:03:31,865
Paul Boray, virtuoso, artist.
17
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:35,931
Why don't you leave him alone, Bauer.
18
00:03:48,315 --> 00:03:52,411
All my life I wanted
to do the right thing.
19
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,014
But it never worked out.
20
00:03:55,489 --> 00:03:58,049
I'm outside always looking in.
21
00:03:58,826 --> 00:04:03,628
Feeling all the time
I'm far away from home.
22
00:04:04,064 --> 00:04:06,533
And where home is, I don't know.
23
00:04:07,935 --> 00:04:09,301
I....
24
00:04:09,937 --> 00:04:11,303
I....
25
00:04:12,773 --> 00:04:18,542
I can't get back to the simple,
happy kid I used to be.
26
00:04:25,085 --> 00:04:27,145
The kid I used to be.
27
00:04:50,177 --> 00:04:52,112
Take that whistle out of your mouth.
28
00:04:52,312 --> 00:04:54,611
You can't deliver groceries
and blow a kazoo.
29
00:04:54,815 --> 00:04:57,876
- Hi, Pop.
- Paul, off with coat, up with the tapioca.
30
00:04:58,085 --> 00:05:01,715
Nope. Leave your coat on. Wash
your face. You're going out with Papa.
31
00:05:01,922 --> 00:05:05,723
- Paul is going out with Papa?
- You're gonna buy him a birthday present.
32
00:05:05,926 --> 00:05:08,020
Why, Esther, Saturday's my busiest day.
33
00:05:08,228 --> 00:05:10,993
Besides, you cooked him a cake.
When I was a boy--
34
00:05:11,198 --> 00:05:13,360
What was a birthday without a present?
35
00:05:13,567 --> 00:05:17,527
All right. I'll build him
a nice house with a ketchup carton.
36
00:05:17,738 --> 00:05:19,900
Take him to Jeffers.
Let him choose.
37
00:05:20,107 --> 00:05:23,737
- He's too old to play house.
- He's too young to know what he wants.
38
00:05:23,944 --> 00:05:26,914
No matter. If he wants it,
it's a good present.
39
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:46,525
Well, here we are, Paul.
Lots of nice things, aren't there?
40
00:05:46,733 --> 00:05:48,827
- Hello, Mr. Jeffers.
- Hello, Boray.
41
00:05:49,036 --> 00:05:50,470
- For the boy?
- Who else?
42
00:05:50,671 --> 00:05:54,574
Look around, Paul. Pick something,
anything up to a dollar and a half.
43
00:05:54,775 --> 00:05:56,607
Well? The sheep.
44
00:05:56,810 --> 00:05:59,279
But the small one's better. Look.
45
00:05:59,479 --> 00:06:01,607
It's almost human.
Wouldn't you like that?
46
00:06:01,815 --> 00:06:03,044
No, that's for kids.
47
00:06:03,250 --> 00:06:06,914
Maybe there's something for big boys.
Let's see. Oh, here's something.
48
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,120
A windmill.
49
00:06:08,288 --> 00:06:09,620
- Don't you like that?
- No.
50
00:06:09,823 --> 00:06:12,156
- He doesn't like it.
- Your boy like baseball?
51
00:06:12,359 --> 00:06:16,763
Well, who doesn't like baseball in America,
Mr. Jeffers? It's an institution.
52
00:06:17,230 --> 00:06:19,358
Bang, bang, Babe Ruth.
53
00:06:19,566 --> 00:06:22,968
- Who else plays it?
- Ty Cobb, Hans Wagner.
54
00:06:23,170 --> 00:06:24,502
Bang, bang, Hans Wagner.
55
00:06:24,705 --> 00:06:26,469
Bang, bang, Ty Cobb.
56
00:06:26,673 --> 00:06:28,767
Wouldn't you like to be
a Ty Cobb, Paul?
57
00:06:28,976 --> 00:06:30,205
No.
58
00:06:30,410 --> 00:06:32,538
He doesn't want that.
59
00:06:41,321 --> 00:06:43,051
- Hello, Paul.
- Hi.
60
00:06:43,256 --> 00:06:45,248
- Wanna take some piano lessons?
- No.
61
00:06:45,459 --> 00:06:47,655
I'll give you a special rate, 25 cents.
62
00:06:47,861 --> 00:06:49,830
You pay, you'll be my only pupil.
63
00:06:50,030 --> 00:06:52,465
No, violin's prettier than the piano.
64
00:06:52,666 --> 00:06:55,864
Don't judge all pianos by the way
I look. Try it on for size.
65
00:06:56,069 --> 00:06:58,334
- Could I?
- Sure.
66
00:06:58,772 --> 00:07:02,470
If you play the violin, you'll have
to carry a pianist around with you.
67
00:07:02,676 --> 00:07:04,338
Play something.
68
00:07:07,714 --> 00:07:10,445
I know that. Just give me a minute.
69
00:07:20,761 --> 00:07:22,787
Paul. Paul!
70
00:07:22,996 --> 00:07:24,589
Paul!
71
00:07:24,798 --> 00:07:28,792
Another Paderewski in the family.
Phil with his kazoo and you with a violin.
72
00:07:29,002 --> 00:07:31,995
- You said I could have anything.
- A drum, a little horse.
73
00:07:32,205 --> 00:07:35,039
A toy is all right. What does
a boy want with a violin?
74
00:07:36,410 --> 00:07:38,641
For wood and glue?
Take the fire engine.
75
00:07:38,845 --> 00:07:41,246
Let him take the fiddle.
He could do worse.
76
00:07:41,448 --> 00:07:44,179
For instance, he might grow up
to be a piano player.
77
00:07:44,384 --> 00:07:45,716
You ought to know, Sidney.
78
00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:48,286
Pianist and composer.
Rates on request.
79
00:07:48,488 --> 00:07:52,050
The unknown genius waiting to be
discovered. Do I strike your fancy?
80
00:07:52,392 --> 00:07:55,726
- Not too much.
- Unfortunately, I'm not my own type either.
81
00:07:55,929 --> 00:07:57,795
Listen, Sidney, as a musician...
82
00:07:57,998 --> 00:08:00,331
...how much do you make
per week or per year?
83
00:08:00,534 --> 00:08:01,832
- Money? Cash money?
- Yes.
84
00:08:02,035 --> 00:08:05,699
I'll write a song entitled,
"If I had a Million, Would I Talk to You?"
85
00:08:05,906 --> 00:08:07,534
I'm a bargain-basement genius.
86
00:08:07,741 --> 00:08:09,767
You want my son
to be genius number two.
87
00:08:09,976 --> 00:08:12,241
What a future.
Paul, take the baseball bat.
88
00:08:12,446 --> 00:08:14,711
- I want the violin.
- He wants the violin.
89
00:08:14,915 --> 00:08:18,147
Statistics show a million boys
are crying for baseball bats.
90
00:08:18,351 --> 00:08:21,014
It isn't good enough.
He has to have a violin.
91
00:08:23,290 --> 00:08:24,781
Paul...
92
00:08:25,926 --> 00:08:28,395
- ...take the fire engine.
- No.
93
00:08:28,595 --> 00:08:30,291
The windmill.
94
00:08:30,997 --> 00:08:33,796
- The baseball bat.
- No.
95
00:08:35,001 --> 00:08:38,631
Then take nothing. Here.
Come on home.
96
00:08:40,574 --> 00:08:41,803
Don't take it too hard.
97
00:08:42,008 --> 00:08:44,944
You could imagine how much trouble
I had getting a piano.
98
00:08:45,145 --> 00:08:48,547
Mr. Boray, you forgot your hat.
99
00:08:50,150 --> 00:08:52,210
I'm sorry, Mr. Jeffers.
100
00:09:05,599 --> 00:09:07,124
- What happened?
- Your son.
101
00:09:07,334 --> 00:09:11,032
Your ungrateful son.
A toy isn't good enough for him.
102
00:09:11,772 --> 00:09:13,104
Paul.
103
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,644
Didn't you see anything you want?
104
00:09:21,848 --> 00:09:24,010
Didn't he see anything?
He certainly did.
105
00:09:24,217 --> 00:09:26,516
In a black box like a dead fish.
106
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,780
A violin no less.
107
00:09:28,989 --> 00:09:31,982
- A violin?
- He'll scratch on it for two weeks...
108
00:09:32,192 --> 00:09:36,027
...then it's in the closet with Phil's
saxophone. Remember his saxophone?
109
00:09:36,229 --> 00:09:38,528
You hoped we had
a musician in the family...
110
00:09:38,732 --> 00:09:40,928
...because he followed the organ grinder.
111
00:09:41,134 --> 00:09:43,433
But it was the monkey he wanted.
112
00:09:44,938 --> 00:09:49,433
He asked for a violin himself
and you didn't buy it for him?
113
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,978
- Is that why you're crying, Paul?
- I'm not crying.
114
00:09:57,184 --> 00:09:59,653
Well, you're not laughing either.
115
00:09:59,853 --> 00:10:02,687
Go upstairs. Put on a new face.
116
00:10:02,889 --> 00:10:05,222
Put on your birthday face.
117
00:10:21,541 --> 00:10:25,478
What are you doing? I forbid it,
Esther. It's throwing away money.
118
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,274
Waste and foolishness.
What for, Esther? What for?
119
00:10:28,481 --> 00:10:31,315
It means something when
he asks for something himself.
120
00:10:31,518 --> 00:10:34,420
Means he's got an idea
he'll forget in a couple weeks.
121
00:10:34,955 --> 00:10:37,083
Maybe, maybe not.
122
00:10:37,657 --> 00:10:40,718
Maybe our Paul
will be different than Phil.
123
00:10:41,828 --> 00:10:43,820
Maybe our Paul will be different.
124
00:10:44,030 --> 00:10:47,159
Every mother thinks
she has a son who'll be different.
125
00:10:47,367 --> 00:10:49,893
But it's foolish I tell you.
126
00:10:52,105 --> 00:10:56,975
It's the one on the counter in the little
black box. Ask Sid Jeffers, he'll tell you.
127
00:10:58,778 --> 00:11:01,009
He's ready to blow out the candles.
128
00:11:01,214 --> 00:11:02,807
- Hi, Gina.
- Hello, Gina.
129
00:11:03,016 --> 00:11:04,211
Hello.
130
00:11:04,417 --> 00:11:07,444
- Happy birthday.
- Did you bring me a present?
131
00:11:09,489 --> 00:11:12,186
Make a wish, Paul. Make a wish.
132
00:11:14,461 --> 00:11:18,057
- Happy birthday, Paul.
- Gee, I blew out all the lights.
133
00:11:18,265 --> 00:11:20,996
All right, Sister, turn on the lights.
134
00:11:28,575 --> 00:11:31,477
Do you like it, darling? Do you like it?
135
00:11:40,921 --> 00:11:43,755
Will you put that thing away?
136
00:11:45,225 --> 00:11:46,989
Hey, we're gonna play ball.
137
00:11:47,193 --> 00:11:49,355
Anybody wanna play ball with us?
138
00:11:49,562 --> 00:11:52,191
- Hey, Phil, where's Paul?
- He's practicing.
139
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:55,198
- Does he have to?
- He don't have to.
140
00:11:55,402 --> 00:11:56,802
You mean he wants to?
141
00:13:40,407 --> 00:13:41,636
Mr. Boray.
142
00:13:41,841 --> 00:13:43,867
Mr. Boray.
143
00:13:45,879 --> 00:13:48,007
- Me?
- Mr. Boray, we don't expect you...
144
00:13:48,214 --> 00:13:52,117
...to be with us all the time. But would
you mind keeping in touch with us?
145
00:13:52,318 --> 00:13:55,447
This overture is written
for full orchestra not solo violin.
146
00:13:55,655 --> 00:14:00,252
- Let's try it both ways.
- Let's try it as the composer wrote it, Boray.
147
00:14:00,927 --> 00:14:03,158
All right. I'm sorry.
148
00:14:04,297 --> 00:14:06,528
All right. Once more
from the double bar.
149
00:14:06,733 --> 00:14:10,500
This time, Mr. Boray has promised
to rejoin the orchestra.
150
00:14:12,872 --> 00:14:15,307
It occurs to me, Mr. Boray,
you are very fresh.
151
00:14:15,708 --> 00:14:19,167
Well, that's exactly the quality
that I like in your playing.
152
00:14:19,379 --> 00:14:21,780
All right. From the double bar.
153
00:14:52,078 --> 00:14:54,172
I'm right behind you, Gina.
154
00:14:56,616 --> 00:14:59,085
Get it? See what I mean?
Bach is church windows.
155
00:14:59,285 --> 00:15:02,449
Beethoven is a giant range
of mountains. Wagner is a storm.
156
00:15:02,655 --> 00:15:05,648
- Debussy is the wind in the trees.
- And you? What are you?
157
00:15:05,859 --> 00:15:07,885
Me? I'm the dynamo
that makes them tick.
158
00:15:08,094 --> 00:15:11,997
I'm a self-starter. I'll knock this town
on its ear once I get started.
159
00:15:12,198 --> 00:15:14,429
Nobody sits on my head.
It's full of talent.
160
00:15:14,634 --> 00:15:17,468
Last week, I met José Iturbi.
He told me, "Practice.
161
00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:19,901
Learn what they want and play it."
162
00:15:20,106 --> 00:15:22,666
Paul, we've passed my house.
163
00:15:23,376 --> 00:15:27,814
Oh, I'm sorry. Remind me to let you
get in a word every once in a while.
164
00:15:28,014 --> 00:15:31,951
When I get wound up, I just go on and on
until someone changes the needle.
165
00:15:32,152 --> 00:15:34,644
- I know how you feel.
- Do you?
166
00:15:34,854 --> 00:15:36,322
Really?
167
00:15:36,890 --> 00:15:41,658
It's funny, you know, I never
open up like this to most people...
168
00:15:41,861 --> 00:15:45,696
...not even Mom. It's only you.
You know what I mean?
169
00:15:45,899 --> 00:15:49,131
I don't have to pose with you.
I don't have to fight or argue.
170
00:15:49,335 --> 00:15:52,601
I can be what I am, no different.
No better, no worse. Just me.
171
00:15:52,805 --> 00:15:55,240
- You know?
- I know.
172
00:15:55,441 --> 00:15:57,205
Gee, I'm itching to get started.
173
00:15:57,410 --> 00:16:00,244
A thousand concerts
in my fingers waiting to get out.
174
00:16:00,446 --> 00:16:04,713
Nothing can stop me. Nothing can
get in my way. I don't feel alive until....
175
00:16:05,585 --> 00:16:07,213
Hey.
176
00:16:11,624 --> 00:16:13,855
If I told you I loved you...
177
00:16:14,260 --> 00:16:16,627
- ...would you laugh?
- No.
178
00:16:18,665 --> 00:16:19,963
Well, I do.
179
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:22,835
You see, I'm not laughing.
180
00:16:29,342 --> 00:16:32,210
Evening paper!
Get your evening paper! Thank you, sir.
181
00:16:32,412 --> 00:16:34,040
- Hey.
- Evening paper!
182
00:16:34,614 --> 00:16:37,584
- Read all about it!
- Hi, Eddie, how did the Yanks do?
183
00:16:37,784 --> 00:16:39,776
- They won both games.
- Great. Thanks.
184
00:16:43,756 --> 00:16:47,784
--$18.62.
Thompson, $11.33.
185
00:16:48,962 --> 00:16:50,794
Credit, credit, credit.
186
00:16:50,997 --> 00:16:52,431
Nobody pays anymore.
187
00:16:52,632 --> 00:16:55,329
I know they gotta eat, Esther,
but we gotta eat too.
188
00:16:55,535 --> 00:16:58,198
The Depression is a Depression
for us and everybody.
189
00:16:58,404 --> 00:17:00,873
What Depression?
With two chickens in every pot?
190
00:17:01,074 --> 00:17:03,669
It's no joke, Flossie.
It's no joke at all.
191
00:17:03,876 --> 00:17:07,472
Who said it was funny? I got a run
in my stocking. Will you fix it?
192
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,512
It's the last decent pair I've got.
193
00:17:09,716 --> 00:17:13,175
- Phil, is that you?
- Yeah. They got new signs in the park now.
194
00:17:13,386 --> 00:17:17,915
Instead of saying, "Please keep off the
grass," they say, "Don't eat the grass."
195
00:17:18,124 --> 00:17:19,820
- Any luck?
- There's nothing, Mom.
196
00:17:20,026 --> 00:17:22,586
Not one job between
the Battery and the Palisades.
197
00:17:22,795 --> 00:17:25,959
- It's like banging your head against a wall.
- Did you eat?
198
00:17:26,165 --> 00:17:29,602
No, I'm not hungry. What are you
doing home? Get canned, did you?
199
00:17:29,802 --> 00:17:32,465
- I could go and get your job.
- You're welcome to it.
200
00:17:32,672 --> 00:17:35,403
They got a new idea.
I gotta go back to work tonight.
201
00:17:35,608 --> 00:17:38,772
Open evenings for the rest
of the summer, three times a week.
202
00:17:38,978 --> 00:17:41,243
The customer's always right.
203
00:17:41,447 --> 00:17:43,848
Does he have to play
that violin all the time?
204
00:17:44,050 --> 00:17:45,450
He's not bothering anybody.
205
00:17:45,652 --> 00:17:49,316
I'll crawl in a hole till his nibs
gets the urge to stop playing.
206
00:17:49,522 --> 00:17:51,218
I'll retire from the human race.
207
00:17:51,691 --> 00:17:53,819
Don't make any noise,
Paul is practicing.
208
00:17:54,027 --> 00:17:57,896
Don't go in the room, Paul is studying.
Don't do this, don't do that.
209
00:17:58,097 --> 00:17:59,725
It's coming out of my ears.
210
00:17:59,932 --> 00:18:02,993
- He's working hard.
- He's working hard?
211
00:18:03,202 --> 00:18:07,537
Oh, I forgot. I'm the one who
isn't working. I'm on a vacation.
212
00:18:07,740 --> 00:18:11,472
I go strolling every morning to smell
the flowers and look at the birds.
213
00:18:11,678 --> 00:18:14,341
Sure, he's the busy bee in this hive.
214
00:18:14,547 --> 00:18:18,416
Poor Paul, working his fingers to the bone
to support a no-good brother.
215
00:18:18,618 --> 00:18:20,951
Philip is right, Esther.
We're one family.
216
00:18:21,154 --> 00:18:24,591
- What's good for one is good for the other.
- Don't blame him, Rudy.
217
00:18:24,824 --> 00:18:28,761
What can he do? Help like
everyone else. Is that too much to ask?
218
00:18:28,961 --> 00:18:32,295
This practicing, these teachers.
He'll never amount to anything.
219
00:18:32,498 --> 00:18:34,364
- It's not for us.
- But, Rudy--
220
00:18:34,567 --> 00:18:36,866
Look at the Jeffers boy.
He plays music too.
221
00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:39,369
But at least he's on the radio.
He gets paid.
222
00:18:39,572 --> 00:18:41,905
- It's different with Paul.
- Don't he eat?
223
00:18:42,108 --> 00:18:44,270
Don't he wear clothes?
What's different?
224
00:18:44,610 --> 00:18:47,603
- What's wrong with getting a job?
- There's nothing wrong.
225
00:18:47,814 --> 00:18:50,215
- But if you can be a--
- Statistics show...
226
00:18:50,416 --> 00:18:52,578
...there's one of those in a million.
227
00:18:52,785 --> 00:18:55,311
Philip, put your shoe on, please.
228
00:18:56,889 --> 00:18:58,517
Paul Boray.
229
00:18:58,725 --> 00:19:01,593
The genius who lives
over a grocery store?
230
00:19:01,794 --> 00:19:03,558
- Now, Esther....
- Paul.
231
00:19:10,136 --> 00:19:12,037
Happy days.
232
00:19:12,238 --> 00:19:15,106
What's right is right.
I was just....
233
00:19:36,829 --> 00:19:39,128
My father keeps saying
it's a waste of time.
234
00:19:39,332 --> 00:19:41,426
He doesn't understand me
or my ambitions.
235
00:19:41,634 --> 00:19:44,297
Nobody sits on my head.
I'm not gonna be a parasite.
236
00:19:44,504 --> 00:19:46,973
From now on,
I pay my way. I want a job.
237
00:19:47,206 --> 00:19:49,801
At 3:00 in the morning?
What kind of a job?
238
00:19:50,009 --> 00:19:52,035
Playing violin.
What else do I know?
239
00:19:52,245 --> 00:19:56,046
That's just what this Depression needs,
another violin player. Cigarette?
240
00:19:56,249 --> 00:19:57,683
No thanks, I've got one.
241
00:19:59,185 --> 00:20:02,815
Hire a costume and play gypsy
variations in a Hungarian restaurant.
242
00:20:03,022 --> 00:20:06,424
- Don't horse me around, Sid.
- I'm not, Paul. I'm not.
243
00:20:06,626 --> 00:20:10,461
You're such a schnook. You think
decisions are made with flashlight bulbs.
244
00:20:10,663 --> 00:20:15,397
Pop, and I'm a gypsy fiddler,
or pop, I'm a virtuoso.
245
00:20:16,002 --> 00:20:18,233
Leave that cord alone,
you'll tear my shade.
246
00:20:18,438 --> 00:20:20,100
You're no help. You're laughing.
247
00:20:20,306 --> 00:20:23,174
- You're sensitive.
- I didn't come here to be analyzed.
248
00:20:23,376 --> 00:20:26,904
That's the trouble. You want advice.
What makes you think I know?
249
00:20:27,113 --> 00:20:31,483
I play piano in a monkey suit with a bunch
of other guys dressed up in monkey suits.
250
00:20:31,684 --> 00:20:32,879
Piano.
251
00:20:33,619 --> 00:20:36,316
Schmaltz. Listen, Paul,
I can be unhappy in any key.
252
00:20:36,522 --> 00:20:38,081
Depressed is my favorite word.
253
00:20:38,291 --> 00:20:40,522
You know why? Schmaltz.
That what you want?
254
00:20:40,726 --> 00:20:44,527
I know what I don't want. I don't
wanna feel like a heel in my own house.
255
00:20:44,730 --> 00:20:47,325
I don't wanna live
over a grocery store...
256
00:20:47,533 --> 00:20:50,025
...while feeding on gum
and chocolate drops.
257
00:20:50,236 --> 00:20:53,604
Hot in summer. Worrying
about the bill that wasn't paid...
258
00:20:53,806 --> 00:20:57,243
...or the bill that's coming in today.
Not me, Sid. Not me.
259
00:20:58,744 --> 00:21:00,940
And you want me
to tell you what to do.
260
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,049
You want me to tell you you're right.
261
00:21:03,249 --> 00:21:05,809
Well, maybe you are. I don't know.
262
00:21:07,286 --> 00:21:09,812
You can't advise talent.
Talent's a way of life.
263
00:21:10,022 --> 00:21:12,253
Not something
you can decide in a minute.
264
00:21:12,458 --> 00:21:15,587
Who knows if you're gifted
enough to be a concert violinist.
265
00:21:15,795 --> 00:21:17,525
- That's the point.
- Is it? What?
266
00:21:17,730 --> 00:21:21,895
Maybe I'll end up teaching kids
how to fiddle. There's no guarantee.
267
00:21:22,101 --> 00:21:24,070
There's no guarantee
for anything real.
268
00:21:24,270 --> 00:21:27,263
Would you say, "I'll marry you
if I have a guarantee"?
269
00:21:27,473 --> 00:21:31,308
- You're a dead pigeon with guarantees.
- Don't give me any lectures.
270
00:21:32,011 --> 00:21:34,105
I know you like a book by now.
271
00:21:34,313 --> 00:21:38,216
You're proud and sensitive. A little
too intense and much too precocious.
272
00:21:38,417 --> 00:21:40,886
Sincere but suffering
from the old American itch.
273
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,398
You wanna get there fast,
but you don't wanna pay for the ride.
274
00:21:43,422 --> 00:21:46,654
All I'm asking you to do
is to help me get a job.
275
00:21:47,226 --> 00:21:50,719
- You think you can take it?
- I can take it.
276
00:24:22,481 --> 00:24:24,313
We're running overtime.
277
00:24:24,984 --> 00:24:27,385
There will be a cut here, gentlemen.
278
00:24:27,586 --> 00:24:29,851
Cut from letter D...
279
00:24:30,656 --> 00:24:35,219
...to letter R. That'll be eight bars from
the end. Is that agreeable, Mr. Jeffers?
280
00:24:35,428 --> 00:24:38,398
Why bring personalities
into the discussion? I'll do it.
281
00:24:38,631 --> 00:24:42,500
- From letter D to letter R, gentlemen.
- Why don't we just play two chords?
282
00:24:42,702 --> 00:24:45,137
One to open and close.
It'll sound just as good.
283
00:24:45,371 --> 00:24:48,808
Even for me, and I don't acknowledge
myself to be the best pianist.
284
00:24:49,041 --> 00:24:51,670
- That's quite a cut, doctor.
- Sid's right.
285
00:24:51,877 --> 00:24:55,939
- I beg your pardon?
- I agreed. You're cutting out the best part.
286
00:24:56,515 --> 00:25:00,646
- Let me be the judge of that.
- It's a matter of the composer's intention.
287
00:25:00,853 --> 00:25:02,981
I apologize for making you unhappy, sir.
288
00:25:03,189 --> 00:25:04,782
I take it you are displeased.
289
00:25:04,990 --> 00:25:07,289
- Oh, I'll play it.
- Oh, you don't have to.
290
00:25:07,626 --> 00:25:10,858
You'll be happier if you're not
forced to play in our company.
291
00:25:11,330 --> 00:25:13,799
We will just have to struggle
along without you.
292
00:25:14,033 --> 00:25:15,661
Hey, wait a minute.
293
00:25:15,868 --> 00:25:19,100
Give the kid a chance.
He's never played on the radio.
294
00:25:19,305 --> 00:25:21,297
Don't waste your breath, Sid.
295
00:27:31,203 --> 00:27:32,899
Well?
296
00:27:33,572 --> 00:27:36,007
- What'd you think?
- Coffee?
297
00:27:36,208 --> 00:27:38,507
Look, I asked you a simple question.
298
00:27:38,811 --> 00:27:40,404
Sugar?
299
00:27:43,249 --> 00:27:45,616
You want me to blow kisses
and shout bravo?
300
00:27:45,818 --> 00:27:49,050
- You sound promising.
- Thanks, that's a crushing compliment.
301
00:27:49,255 --> 00:27:52,783
From now on, you can sign
your letters, "Paul Boray, fiddle player."
302
00:27:53,025 --> 00:27:55,859
- I have spoken.
- Cut the gags. What'd you really think?
303
00:27:56,061 --> 00:27:59,498
Little too brash, a little over-brilliant.
You need more restraint.
304
00:27:59,732 --> 00:28:03,897
- You didn't like it?
- It's not important if I like it.
305
00:28:04,103 --> 00:28:08,063
- The idea is for other people to share it.
- That's right. For once, we agree.
306
00:28:08,307 --> 00:28:11,766
The point about an artist is the sound
he makes, the personal sound.
307
00:28:12,144 --> 00:28:16,309
It's his own sound like no one else,
on a piano, a violin, on any instrument.
308
00:28:16,548 --> 00:28:19,245
That's communicated
between artist and audience.
309
00:28:19,451 --> 00:28:23,081
That's what you call personality.
If he's got that, nothing matters.
310
00:28:23,289 --> 00:28:25,315
If he doesn't, he might as well quit.
311
00:28:28,460 --> 00:28:31,328
- You might have it.
- Then you think I'm terrific?
312
00:28:31,664 --> 00:28:34,998
- You took the words out of your mouth.
- Am I ready for concerts?
313
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,635
- Sure.
- That's all I wanna know.
314
00:28:37,870 --> 00:28:41,204
- Where you gonna play?
- I'll talk to them down at the school.
315
00:28:41,407 --> 00:28:43,603
Rozner likes me,
he'll put in a good word.
316
00:28:43,809 --> 00:28:46,301
Wait a minute. Take a look at this.
317
00:28:54,053 --> 00:28:57,956
Here's a list of this week's concerts.
There must be hundreds of them.
318
00:28:58,190 --> 00:29:01,126
There's pianists, violinists,
sopranists, tuba players.
319
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,262
All kinds of virtuosos.
You know what you're up against?
320
00:29:04,463 --> 00:29:06,898
- What's that got to do with me?
- Want a debut?
321
00:29:07,132 --> 00:29:10,864
You'll need a hall, tickets, a couple
of posters, some ads, publicity.
322
00:29:11,070 --> 00:29:13,904
Let's say $750 will do it.
323
00:29:14,106 --> 00:29:16,132
Do you have $750
kicking around loose?
324
00:29:16,375 --> 00:29:19,243
- I thought a manager takes care of that.
- For you?
325
00:29:19,445 --> 00:29:21,209
They never heard of you.
326
00:29:21,413 --> 00:29:24,679
They'd put you on, sure.
Only you pay.
327
00:29:24,883 --> 00:29:28,047
What does he do, pat me
on the back and pick my pocket?
328
00:29:28,253 --> 00:29:30,779
Who goes to debuts?
Relatives and enemies.
329
00:29:31,023 --> 00:29:33,515
You need connections
to get people to come.
330
00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:36,251
A manager supplies
the audience. If he's good...
331
00:29:36,495 --> 00:29:39,795
...he'll get a couple of critics
to hear you. That's important.
332
00:29:39,999 --> 00:29:42,195
My playing. Doesn't that mean anything?
333
00:29:42,401 --> 00:29:45,394
Sure, you fill the lull
between intermissions.
334
00:29:45,637 --> 00:29:49,540
What are you gonna play on? Can't play
a concert on a cut-rate instrument.
335
00:29:49,742 --> 00:29:53,975
You need a Strad or Guarnerius.
Do you have a spare 25G's to buy one?
336
00:29:54,179 --> 00:29:58,275
I studied ten years, practiced
till my hands feel like wood. For what?
337
00:29:58,484 --> 00:30:01,784
Don't give me any of that.
You should've told me this years ago.
338
00:30:01,987 --> 00:30:03,979
You weren't good enough ten years ago.
339
00:30:04,223 --> 00:30:06,385
You still thought music
was all moonlight.
340
00:30:06,592 --> 00:30:08,584
You play the piano.
What have you done?
341
00:30:08,827 --> 00:30:11,387
It's what you don't become that hurts.
342
00:30:11,597 --> 00:30:13,828
Idealism is a luxury for the very young.
343
00:30:14,033 --> 00:30:17,401
You're full of lectures.
You know all the answers.
344
00:30:17,603 --> 00:30:19,936
- You give me a pang.
- Don't get sore at me.
345
00:30:20,139 --> 00:30:24,201
- I didn't make the world.
- You're always giving out with advice.
346
00:30:24,410 --> 00:30:26,572
You ought to mind your own business.
347
00:30:26,779 --> 00:30:29,772
I didn't ask you to play for me.
That was your idea.
348
00:30:30,015 --> 00:30:33,884
- You wanted my opinion? You got it.
- I asked for an opinion, not a sermon.
349
00:30:34,086 --> 00:30:37,784
You have all the characteristics
of a successful virtuoso.
350
00:30:37,990 --> 00:30:40,983
You're self-indulgent
and the hero of all your dreams.
351
00:30:41,226 --> 00:30:44,287
You ought to dream yourself.
It might make you less cynical.
352
00:30:44,530 --> 00:30:46,965
When I look at you,
I know what I wanna avoid.
353
00:30:47,166 --> 00:30:50,000
One of us is offensive.
Why don't you blow.
354
00:30:57,176 --> 00:31:00,476
Tchaikovsky. Couldn't have
happened to a nicer fellow.
355
00:31:02,448 --> 00:31:04,679
What do you want it on,
whole wheat or rye?
356
00:31:04,883 --> 00:31:07,250
Okay, we're both crazy.
357
00:31:07,453 --> 00:31:09,854
- Where do we go from here?
- How about a party?
358
00:31:10,055 --> 00:31:13,457
- Fine, send down for a couple beers.
- I mean the real thing.
359
00:31:13,659 --> 00:31:16,185
- Hear of the Wrights?
- They invented the airplane.
360
00:31:16,428 --> 00:31:19,159
Helen and Victor Wright?
It's hard to avoid them.
361
00:31:19,364 --> 00:31:21,526
Pictures on the society page.
Very social.
362
00:31:21,733 --> 00:31:25,465
They have a yen for La Vie Bohème.
Good food, good liquor, open house.
363
00:31:25,671 --> 00:31:30,336
- They invite me for laughs.
- I don't feel in the mood for a party.
364
00:31:30,542 --> 00:31:33,239
Don't be stupid, sweetheart.
Everybody goes there.
365
00:31:33,445 --> 00:31:36,779
Maestros and dipsos,
corn-fed composers and calypsos.
366
00:31:36,982 --> 00:31:39,918
It's the breeding ground
for successful careers.
367
00:31:41,019 --> 00:31:44,581
Dozens of them have been launched
at the Wrights. Go put on your tie.
368
00:31:44,823 --> 00:31:46,485
I'll crawl into my society pants.
369
00:31:47,059 --> 00:31:49,824
Leave your hair mussed,
you look pretty that way.
370
00:32:46,818 --> 00:32:49,151
I'll skip this round, thanks.
371
00:32:52,758 --> 00:32:55,091
- How are you this evening?
- Fine, fine.
372
00:32:55,294 --> 00:32:58,093
Quite a party. Does this
go on here all the time...
373
00:32:58,297 --> 00:33:02,325
- ...or are you new here too?
- I'm an old hand at these parties.
374
00:33:03,068 --> 00:33:04,502
- Who's that?
- Who?
375
00:33:04,736 --> 00:33:07,638
- Over there.
- That's your hostess.
376
00:33:12,878 --> 00:33:15,814
So that's Helen Wright?
They say she drinks like a fish.
377
00:33:16,548 --> 00:33:18,847
Rumor hath it so.
Haven't you met her?
378
00:33:19,051 --> 00:33:20,451
No.
379
00:33:20,652 --> 00:33:22,416
She probably hasn't seen you yet.
380
00:33:22,955 --> 00:33:26,357
- She's extremely near-sighted, you know.
- Really?
381
00:33:26,592 --> 00:33:28,527
- What's her husband like?
- Weak.
382
00:33:28,727 --> 00:33:30,696
Not a bad sort, just weak.
383
00:33:30,929 --> 00:33:33,228
- Is he around?
- Yes, he's here.
384
00:33:33,432 --> 00:33:35,298
- Where?
- Here.
385
00:33:36,101 --> 00:33:38,400
Oh, Victor, Helen's been asking for you.
386
00:33:38,604 --> 00:33:40,505
Oh, has she? Excuse me.
387
00:33:41,573 --> 00:33:45,032
What do you do? You a fighter?
You look just like a prizefighter.
388
00:33:45,277 --> 00:33:47,837
- Monte, I bet he's a prizefighter.
- I play violin.
389
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,914
I don't believe you. Go on,
play a violin. I dare you.
390
00:33:51,116 --> 00:33:53,950
I bet you don't know which end
the music comes out of.
391
00:33:54,152 --> 00:33:57,680
- The middle. It comes out of the middle.
- Monte, make him play.
392
00:33:57,923 --> 00:33:59,858
- Would you?
- Sure, why not?
393
00:34:00,058 --> 00:34:03,460
Just by accident, I happened
to have brought my violin.
394
00:34:27,286 --> 00:34:29,482
Wonderful playing, isn't it?
395
00:34:30,222 --> 00:34:33,624
Every time I look at you,
I get a fierce desire to be lonesome.
396
00:34:33,825 --> 00:34:35,953
You can leave any time you like,
you know.
397
00:34:36,862 --> 00:34:38,956
You're too shy
to tell me you detest me?
398
00:34:39,831 --> 00:34:41,766
- Have we met?
- Never saw you before.
399
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,027
- I've enjoyed every moment of it.
- I've seen you somewhere.
400
00:34:45,270 --> 00:34:47,398
- You ride the subways?
- Not very often.
401
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:50,074
You probably don't recognize
me with clothes on.
402
00:34:50,309 --> 00:34:53,802
I pose for the underwear ads,
the body, scrawny.
403
00:34:54,346 --> 00:34:57,009
Well, as long as you
can't resist me, sit down.
404
00:34:58,383 --> 00:35:01,114
I still think you
look like a prizefighter.
405
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,414
Sid, they want me to play.
406
00:35:03,655 --> 00:35:06,819
- What are you gonna play?
- Zigeunerweisen. Give me an A.
407
00:35:07,626 --> 00:35:11,563
Hey! You just spoiled the beginning
of an odious relationship.
408
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:16,534
Okay.
409
00:35:27,212 --> 00:35:28,373
Who is that?
410
00:35:28,613 --> 00:35:30,707
I don't know. It's someone new.
411
00:35:30,949 --> 00:35:33,418
With that talent,
he'll probably end up in jail.
412
00:35:33,652 --> 00:35:35,211
Why?
413
00:35:35,454 --> 00:35:39,858
I don't know. I've just got an idea
that all talented people end up in jail.
414
00:35:40,058 --> 00:35:41,993
I make a stupid remark and you laugh.
415
00:35:42,227 --> 00:35:43,991
You're stupid, Teddy.
416
00:35:44,196 --> 00:35:45,220
Like him?
417
00:35:45,464 --> 00:35:49,401
I'm constitutionally given
to enthusiasm about nothing.
418
00:35:53,305 --> 00:35:56,298
Get my glasses for me
like a good boy, Teddy.
419
00:38:43,341 --> 00:38:45,139
The genius needs a drink, Teddy.
420
00:38:45,343 --> 00:38:47,312
- Gin or Scotch?
- No, thanks.
421
00:38:47,546 --> 00:38:50,038
Two Scotches with
a dash of heather.
422
00:38:50,949 --> 00:38:53,475
You play like a calliope.
423
00:38:53,718 --> 00:38:55,346
I beg your pardon?
424
00:38:55,587 --> 00:38:58,523
There's an original answer
for you. He begs my pardon.
425
00:38:58,723 --> 00:39:03,252
You're not the man who got up and gave
his seat to the lady on the subway?
426
00:39:04,095 --> 00:39:05,757
Do you come from the provinces?
427
00:39:05,997 --> 00:39:07,431
I was born in New York.
428
00:39:07,666 --> 00:39:10,727
Oh, here's that rare animal.
A New Yorker from New York.
429
00:39:11,836 --> 00:39:14,237
New York is full
of all kinds of animals.
430
00:39:14,439 --> 00:39:16,203
Not all of them were born here.
431
00:39:17,776 --> 00:39:19,642
Did you mean that as an insult?
432
00:39:19,844 --> 00:39:23,042
I'm a very difficult person
to insult, Mr....
433
00:39:23,481 --> 00:39:26,007
- You do have a name, don't you?
- Sure.
434
00:39:26,251 --> 00:39:28,982
I'm in the telephone book under violins.
435
00:39:29,754 --> 00:39:32,019
Mrs. Wright,
this is my friend Paul Boray.
436
00:39:32,223 --> 00:39:35,557
And I'm sure that any friend
of mine is not welcome here.
437
00:39:38,563 --> 00:39:42,364
Bad manners, Mr. Boray.
The infallible sign of talent.
438
00:39:43,001 --> 00:39:44,731
Shall I make a prediction?
439
00:39:44,970 --> 00:39:48,065
Soon the world will
divide itself into two camps.
440
00:39:49,174 --> 00:39:52,042
Pro-Boray and anti-Boray.
441
00:39:53,144 --> 00:39:56,911
Which camp are you in,
Mrs. Wright? Pro or anti?
442
00:40:19,571 --> 00:40:22,200
Why--? Why did Helen ride him like that?
443
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,375
She's merely getting interested.
444
00:41:08,853 --> 00:41:11,652
- What else, Mrs. Cline?
- How much are your apples?
445
00:41:11,856 --> 00:41:14,348
- Five cents a piece.
- I'll have one.
446
00:41:14,592 --> 00:41:16,857
- What are you having, a party?
- Philip.
447
00:41:17,062 --> 00:41:19,463
Finish this order.
Something else, Mrs. Cline?
448
00:41:19,664 --> 00:41:21,792
- Do you have any butter?
- Lots of it.
449
00:41:22,033 --> 00:41:23,934
- How much a pound?
- Forty-five cents.
450
00:41:24,135 --> 00:41:26,297
At the corner,
it's only 30 cents a pound.
451
00:41:26,538 --> 00:41:29,007
- Why don't you get it there?
- They're out of it.
452
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:33,336
- When we're out it's only 10 cents.
- I'm gonna put him on the stage.
453
00:41:33,578 --> 00:41:35,945
We just got some
fine Wisconsin sauerkraut.
454
00:41:36,147 --> 00:41:38,616
- Paul Boray?
- Yes, he's my son.
455
00:41:38,850 --> 00:41:41,081
- Sign here, pappy.
- What else, Mrs. Cline?
456
00:41:41,319 --> 00:41:43,811
- I'll have a box of soap flakes.
- Soap flakes.
457
00:41:44,055 --> 00:41:45,489
And a dozen of eggs.
458
00:41:45,724 --> 00:41:46,885
Thanks, pappy.
459
00:41:47,125 --> 00:41:48,559
Eggs.
460
00:41:48,793 --> 00:41:50,056
A bottle of milk.
461
00:41:50,261 --> 00:41:51,422
Paul!
462
00:41:51,663 --> 00:41:53,291
- Paul!
- Yeah.
463
00:41:53,531 --> 00:41:56,160
- Come down. Package for you.
- Coming.
464
00:41:56,768 --> 00:41:57,827
All right.
465
00:41:58,369 --> 00:42:02,067
- And a box of salt.
- Okay. Need anything else?
466
00:42:02,307 --> 00:42:03,900
I think that's all.
467
00:42:11,216 --> 00:42:13,708
- Well, open it up.
- What is it?
468
00:42:22,660 --> 00:42:24,720
- Cigarette case.
- For you?
469
00:42:24,963 --> 00:42:27,398
Well, where did
it come from? What for?
470
00:42:27,599 --> 00:42:29,625
I played at a party last night.
471
00:42:29,868 --> 00:42:31,928
You got it for playing the violin?
472
00:42:32,170 --> 00:42:33,433
Partly.
473
00:42:33,671 --> 00:42:35,299
They liked the way I play.
474
00:42:35,540 --> 00:42:37,202
Who liked your playing?
475
00:42:37,442 --> 00:42:38,933
What party?
476
00:42:39,177 --> 00:42:40,907
People named Wright.
477
00:42:41,146 --> 00:42:42,876
Wright, who are they?
478
00:42:43,114 --> 00:42:44,207
Oh, the Wrights.
479
00:42:44,449 --> 00:42:47,283
They know everybody.
They can help me a lot, Mom.
480
00:43:18,917 --> 00:43:21,580
- I hope you've forgiven me.
- I don't hold grudges.
481
00:43:21,820 --> 00:43:24,813
They're a waste of time.
You shouldn't have sent this.
482
00:43:25,056 --> 00:43:29,460
I spend my life doing penance for things
I never should've done in the first place.
483
00:43:31,029 --> 00:43:32,657
Don't you like martinis?
484
00:43:32,897 --> 00:43:34,832
Not particularly.
485
00:43:35,033 --> 00:43:37,696
They're an acquired taste,
like Ravel.
486
00:43:37,936 --> 00:43:41,668
I never had much time for
acquired tastes, except for Ravel.
487
00:43:41,906 --> 00:43:43,568
You make it all sound very grim.
488
00:43:43,808 --> 00:43:45,572
What do you do for amusement?
489
00:43:45,810 --> 00:43:47,403
Play the violin.
490
00:43:48,012 --> 00:43:50,948
- Is that all you do, play the violin?
- Almost.
491
00:43:51,916 --> 00:43:54,078
- Go to concerts?
- Not much.
492
00:43:54,319 --> 00:43:57,778
When they're good, I'm jealous.
When they're bad, I'm bored.
493
00:43:58,022 --> 00:44:00,491
Hobbies, pleasures or fun?
494
00:44:00,725 --> 00:44:03,024
It's there in the violin for me.
495
00:44:03,494 --> 00:44:05,861
- Girls?
- A few.
496
00:44:08,433 --> 00:44:09,594
That's all?
497
00:44:09,834 --> 00:44:11,496
That's all.
498
00:44:13,304 --> 00:44:15,796
You're a very strange creature.
499
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,702
No stranger than you.
500
00:44:17,942 --> 00:44:20,878
Me? There's nothing
very strange about me.
501
00:44:21,112 --> 00:44:24,173
I was married twice before.
Once at 16, once at 21.
502
00:44:24,415 --> 00:44:26,475
One was a crybaby,
the other a caveman.
503
00:44:26,718 --> 00:44:28,778
Between them,
I said goodbye to girlhood.
504
00:44:29,020 --> 00:44:30,955
You're still very young.
505
00:44:32,490 --> 00:44:34,220
Take that glint out of your eye.
506
00:44:34,792 --> 00:44:37,057
- Glint?
- That gleam.
507
00:44:37,662 --> 00:44:40,791
I don't know how men get that way.
Every time you meet a woman...
508
00:44:41,032 --> 00:44:44,935
...you begin to plan on how
and where you can club her wings down.
509
00:44:45,136 --> 00:44:46,570
I'm different, remember?
510
00:44:46,804 --> 00:44:49,933
I'm the fella that's gonna
split the world into two camps.
511
00:44:50,174 --> 00:44:53,906
Besides, I thought I was
your favorite unknown talent.
512
00:44:54,145 --> 00:44:55,511
You are.
513
00:44:55,713 --> 00:44:57,773
You're a very talented violinist.
514
00:44:58,016 --> 00:45:00,008
I like to help talent when I can.
515
00:45:00,251 --> 00:45:02,482
I'm interested in you as an artist.
516
00:45:03,688 --> 00:45:06,817
And not as a person?
517
00:45:07,592 --> 00:45:10,152
Only as an artist.
518
00:45:13,398 --> 00:45:15,833
By the way, you don't have
a manager, do you?
519
00:45:16,034 --> 00:45:18,663
- No, no.
- You should have one, you know.
520
00:45:20,638 --> 00:45:22,573
Do you know Bauer? Frederick Bauer?
521
00:45:22,774 --> 00:45:25,005
Well, I've never met him.
522
00:46:04,515 --> 00:46:07,451
- Yes, Mr. Bauer?
- Check open dates at Manhattan Hall...
523
00:46:07,652 --> 00:46:11,748
...for a recital, violin.
Mrs. Wright will pay for it.
524
00:47:43,047 --> 00:47:46,347
Esther, people are watching.
You must not do that.
525
00:49:39,230 --> 00:49:42,064
He sounds better here
than he does in the kitchen.
526
00:50:08,159 --> 00:50:10,628
Ask Mr. Boray to join us.
527
00:50:12,930 --> 00:50:15,092
Gee, I-- I don't know, I....
528
00:50:15,333 --> 00:50:17,461
I never thought I'd be so nervous.
529
00:50:17,969 --> 00:50:20,905
I feel as if I've been
through a six-day bike race.
530
00:50:21,639 --> 00:50:22,639
I'm all in.
531
00:50:22,807 --> 00:50:26,403
If you don't sweat, it's not good.
That's when you begin to worry.
532
00:50:26,644 --> 00:50:29,375
You know, I thought I was
better in the second half.
533
00:50:29,614 --> 00:50:31,845
I kind of got warmed up a little.
534
00:50:32,083 --> 00:50:35,485
Don't you think I was a little cold
in the beginning? You know...
535
00:50:35,686 --> 00:50:38,349
...the first few minutes
I didn't have any control.
536
00:50:38,589 --> 00:50:42,117
Forget it. It was only perceptible
to the whole audience.
537
00:50:43,194 --> 00:50:45,561
On the level, Paul,
it was really first-rate.
538
00:50:45,796 --> 00:50:48,960
- You left them in a quiet frenzy.
- I don't know. I don't know.
539
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,795
I'd give anything to do
the concert all over again.
540
00:50:52,036 --> 00:50:56,531
No matter how many concerts, you'll always
have the penalty of not satisfying yourself.
541
00:50:56,774 --> 00:51:00,108
Preserve that feeling
of dissatisfaction and you'll be okay.
542
00:51:01,245 --> 00:51:04,682
Hey, wait a minute. This has to go
on a headwaiter tomorrow night.
543
00:51:04,915 --> 00:51:07,612
I'd like to go hide.
I don't wanna see anyone.
544
00:51:07,852 --> 00:51:10,720
I tell you, you're in.
Ask me, an actual eyewitness.
545
00:51:10,955 --> 00:51:14,517
I found the concert completely stultifying.
What more do you want?
546
00:51:14,759 --> 00:51:16,853
Let's talk about something else.
547
00:51:17,094 --> 00:51:18,460
What about ancient Greece?
548
00:51:18,696 --> 00:51:20,927
What's your opinion
of Greek civilization?
549
00:51:21,165 --> 00:51:23,760
Quit it, will you?
Did you see the house out there?
550
00:51:24,001 --> 00:51:25,867
Half empty. Some debut.
551
00:51:26,103 --> 00:51:28,572
Rows of empty seats
staring me in the face.
552
00:51:29,273 --> 00:51:32,209
And then I fluffed that
fast passage in the Brahms.
553
00:51:32,843 --> 00:51:35,039
Don't worry.
You won't hear from Brahms.
554
00:51:35,279 --> 00:51:38,215
Cut the gags out, will you, Sid.
Cut it out or get out!
555
00:51:38,983 --> 00:51:40,645
I can't afford it.
556
00:51:41,285 --> 00:51:43,220
You're the only friend I've got.
557
00:51:43,954 --> 00:51:46,321
He has fire, this Boray.
558
00:51:46,557 --> 00:51:49,026
Rather like what you
find in a Van Gogh painting.
559
00:51:49,260 --> 00:51:51,957
A touch of the savage.
Good for art.
560
00:51:52,196 --> 00:51:54,665
That's why I was
never an artist, my dear.
561
00:51:59,236 --> 00:52:00,864
I'll go backstage and get Paul.
562
00:52:01,105 --> 00:52:03,574
- We'll see you at home, Gina.
- All right.
563
00:52:06,177 --> 00:52:08,772
- Let's go, Rudy. I wanna get things ready.
- Esther.
564
00:52:08,979 --> 00:52:11,278
Maybe we can take
the picture for a souvenir.
565
00:52:11,515 --> 00:52:15,008
- There'll be other pictures.
- But it's a beautiful picture.
566
00:52:20,391 --> 00:52:24,658
You wouldn't want to offend her. Helen
would be disappointed if you didn't show.
567
00:52:24,862 --> 00:52:27,855
- My family's having a party. Thanks.
- Oh, come along.
568
00:52:28,065 --> 00:52:30,432
- You should go.
- For an hour. How about it?
569
00:52:30,668 --> 00:52:32,830
Okay, just for an hour.
570
00:52:37,007 --> 00:52:39,772
Another one, Paul.
"The debut of a violinist...
571
00:52:39,977 --> 00:52:44,142
...of uncommon power and integrity
is the news this morning.
572
00:52:44,682 --> 00:52:49,120
It is difficult to remember
a first concert equal to it for vir--"
573
00:52:49,587 --> 00:52:52,352
- Virtuosity.
- "Virtuosity, musicianship...
574
00:52:52,590 --> 00:52:54,684
...and the highest type
of interpretation.
575
00:52:54,892 --> 00:52:57,361
Paul Boray is a young
violinist of great gifts."
576
00:52:57,595 --> 00:52:59,427
You hear? He's talking about you.
577
00:52:59,663 --> 00:53:01,894
- Bunk.
- I'll take the bunk for an appetizer.
578
00:53:02,133 --> 00:53:04,398
Don't believe everything
you read in papers.
579
00:53:04,635 --> 00:53:07,230
- You came home late last night.
- Oh, yeah.
580
00:53:07,471 --> 00:53:08,769
I'm sorry, Mom.
581
00:53:09,407 --> 00:53:11,433
I couldn't get away. Honest.
582
00:53:11,675 --> 00:53:14,509
That's all right. It was nothing.
Just cake and wine.
583
00:53:14,745 --> 00:53:16,373
Makes no difference.
584
00:53:16,614 --> 00:53:17,809
Where were you?
585
00:53:18,048 --> 00:53:20,745
At the Wrights. Mr. Bauer
thought I ought to go.
586
00:53:20,985 --> 00:53:23,454
- Those are nice flowers.
- Gina brought them.
587
00:53:24,422 --> 00:53:25,788
Oh, she did?
588
00:53:26,023 --> 00:53:29,016
- Oh, I'll call her later.
- Paul, this is important.
589
00:53:29,226 --> 00:53:32,128
Daily Progressive,
high-class newspaper.
590
00:53:32,696 --> 00:53:35,393
"Boray is undoubtedly
a gifted young man.
591
00:53:35,633 --> 00:53:40,628
But his tone has an unfortunate tendency
to go off pitch in moments of climax.
592
00:53:40,838 --> 00:53:43,808
Time and experience
will perhaps correct this fault."
593
00:53:44,041 --> 00:53:45,907
Yellow journalism.
594
00:53:48,312 --> 00:53:50,611
- I saw them at the concert.
- What?
595
00:53:50,981 --> 00:53:53,416
I said I saw Mr. and
Mrs. Wright at the concert.
596
00:53:53,851 --> 00:53:55,342
Oh, you did?
597
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,887
She's a very beautiful woman.
598
00:53:59,890 --> 00:54:01,358
Listen to this:
599
00:54:01,592 --> 00:54:06,530
"The concert was notable
for the unfailing beauty of tone."
600
00:54:06,764 --> 00:54:08,926
See, I told you.
The other one was jealous.
601
00:54:09,166 --> 00:54:11,601
Statistics show 80 percent
of jealous critics...
602
00:54:11,802 --> 00:54:14,738
...are broken-down,
disappointed musicians anyway.
603
00:54:15,372 --> 00:54:17,773
- Customers. I must show them the papers.
- Here.
604
00:54:17,975 --> 00:54:20,342
No, no. This one is prejudiced.
605
00:54:27,485 --> 00:54:30,649
It's nice of the Wrights
to show such an interest in you.
606
00:54:30,855 --> 00:54:34,917
It's the fiddle, Mom.
They like the way I play the violin.
607
00:54:42,766 --> 00:54:45,463
I hate to take up your time
like this, Mrs. Wright.
608
00:54:45,669 --> 00:54:48,605
- I appreciate it.
- Nonsense. It wasn't my idea.
609
00:54:48,839 --> 00:54:52,935
Bauer thought of it. I have the reputation
for good clothes, food and wine.
610
00:54:53,143 --> 00:54:55,078
Bauer said something conservative.
611
00:54:55,279 --> 00:54:57,145
Yeah, conservative and dark.
612
00:54:57,381 --> 00:55:01,409
The curse of classics. They demand
respectability. Not that. Take the serge.
613
00:55:01,652 --> 00:55:04,247
- Mrs. Wright knows value.
- You mean that?
614
00:55:04,488 --> 00:55:07,549
Yes. A suit mustn't have bones
like ribs in an umbrella.
615
00:55:07,758 --> 00:55:09,488
It's the drape that does it.
616
00:55:09,693 --> 00:55:13,027
I wouldn't know. I just have time
to get dressed in the morning.
617
00:55:13,230 --> 00:55:15,961
Mrs. Wright knows quality
when she sees it.
618
00:55:16,166 --> 00:55:17,725
I like the stripe better.
619
00:55:19,336 --> 00:55:21,305
You can be a very obstinate man.
620
00:55:21,539 --> 00:55:25,909
I began young. I once had a very bitter
argument about a baseball bat or a violin.
621
00:55:26,343 --> 00:55:28,244
And you got the violin.
622
00:55:28,445 --> 00:55:30,311
I'm not with the New York Yankees.
623
00:55:30,514 --> 00:55:31,914
Obviously.
624
00:55:33,651 --> 00:55:36,211
- In the stripe.
- In the stripe.
625
00:56:33,110 --> 00:56:34,442
Thank you, Mr. Boray.
626
00:56:34,645 --> 00:56:37,774
- Well, what do you think?
- Good. Excellent in many ways.
627
00:56:37,982 --> 00:56:39,075
Then you forgive me?
628
00:56:39,283 --> 00:56:42,685
Forgiving you, Helen, is like
an old and not unpleasant habit.
629
00:56:42,886 --> 00:56:46,152
I knew you wouldn't come if
I told you to listen to a recital.
630
00:56:46,357 --> 00:56:49,020
I think symphony conductors
develop selective ears.
631
00:56:49,226 --> 00:56:51,559
They can be very deaf on occasion.
632
00:56:51,762 --> 00:56:54,459
- Where did you study?
- At the National Institute.
633
00:56:54,665 --> 00:56:56,258
- With Rozner?
- Yes, sir.
634
00:56:56,467 --> 00:56:58,561
- Where can I reach you?
- Through Bauer.
635
00:56:58,769 --> 00:57:00,260
Bauer. You're in good hands.
636
00:57:00,471 --> 00:57:03,407
Phone my secretary someday.
I'd like to talk to you.
637
00:57:03,607 --> 00:57:05,735
- I will.
- Thanks again, Mr. Boray.
638
00:57:05,943 --> 00:57:07,138
Goodbye, Mr. Jeffers.
639
00:57:07,344 --> 00:57:10,371
If the orchestra's hard up for funds,
I'd be glad to help.
640
00:57:10,581 --> 00:57:12,948
Thanks again for coming.
Give my love to Lisa.
641
00:57:13,150 --> 00:57:15,642
I don't think he knew
we were gonna play.
642
00:57:15,853 --> 00:57:18,755
He didn't seem to mind.
He left the first chance he got.
643
00:57:18,956 --> 00:57:21,323
Mr. Hagerstrom, mind
dropping me off downtown?
644
00:57:21,525 --> 00:57:24,017
I have to report to my parole board
every two weeks.
645
00:57:24,228 --> 00:57:26,060
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Helen.
646
00:57:59,630 --> 00:58:01,394
Why are you angry?
647
00:58:02,299 --> 00:58:04,859
Didn't Hagerstrom know
I was coming here to play?
648
00:58:05,069 --> 00:58:06,298
No, not quite.
649
00:58:06,503 --> 00:58:07,994
You might've told me that.
650
00:58:08,205 --> 00:58:11,903
- I took it for granted you'd want to play.
- I wanted to. I respect him.
651
00:58:12,109 --> 00:58:14,578
- But that's not the point.
- What is the point?
652
00:58:14,778 --> 00:58:16,940
The way you did it.
Without him knowing.
653
00:58:17,147 --> 00:58:21,107
Look, it was for your sake I asked
him up here. I don't play the violin.
654
00:58:21,919 --> 00:58:23,888
The patroness of the arts. What am I?
655
00:58:24,088 --> 00:58:27,217
A substitute for this year's
trip to Sun Valley?
656
00:58:27,424 --> 00:58:29,984
Think it's pleasant
to be patronized by a woman?
657
00:58:30,194 --> 00:58:32,220
Doesn't it occur to you
to be grateful?
658
00:58:32,429 --> 00:58:34,989
Sure. I'm grateful
for the debut, for Bauer.
659
00:58:35,199 --> 00:58:39,136
I'm grateful for the chance to play
for Hagerstrom. That's the list so far.
660
00:58:39,336 --> 00:58:42,238
- I'm in your debt.
- I don't recall having mentioned it.
661
00:58:42,439 --> 00:58:44,670
Didn't do this for me.
Did it for yourself.
662
00:58:44,875 --> 00:58:48,107
The way you buy a racehorse
or a yacht or collect paintings.
663
00:58:48,312 --> 00:58:51,749
You just added a violin player
to your possessions, that's all.
664
00:58:52,349 --> 00:58:54,648
You're a mass of prejudices, aren't you?
665
00:58:54,852 --> 00:58:58,084
So much thought
and so little feeling. You....
666
00:58:59,790 --> 00:59:03,124
I'm in no mood to argue the point.
I'll settle for a drink.
667
00:59:15,005 --> 00:59:18,237
- Why do you drink so much?
- Ask me no questions and....
668
00:59:18,976 --> 00:59:21,969
As me no questions,
I'll tell you no lies. Remember that?
669
00:59:22,179 --> 00:59:23,306
Sure.
670
00:59:23,514 --> 00:59:26,643
I also remember, "Beware
of the Greeks bearing gifts."
671
00:59:26,850 --> 00:59:28,478
Hello, darling.
672
00:59:28,685 --> 00:59:30,654
- Paul.
- Victor, you're just in time.
673
00:59:30,854 --> 00:59:33,221
- Paul was scolding me for my manners.
- Was he?
674
00:59:33,423 --> 00:59:36,860
It seems I don't know the etiquette
of gratitude. Bourbon for you?
675
00:59:37,060 --> 00:59:38,619
- Won't you have something?
- No.
676
00:59:38,829 --> 00:59:41,230
They say people who drink
a lot are frustrated.
677
00:59:41,431 --> 00:59:42,922
Or thirsty.
678
00:59:43,133 --> 00:59:44,692
Or unhappy.
679
00:59:45,235 --> 00:59:48,433
- Did you like Hagerstrom?
- Your wife was kind to introduce me.
680
00:59:48,639 --> 00:59:51,131
You should've heard him.
He has original ideas.
681
00:59:51,341 --> 00:59:54,243
He's been expanding on my
general uselessness. Soda?
682
00:59:54,444 --> 00:59:56,970
- Please.
- He thinks I live a wasted life.
683
01:00:26,243 --> 01:00:29,372
Oh, Sinbad and the mermaid.
What news of the guppies?
684
01:00:29,580 --> 01:00:32,778
- Meet interesting salmon?
- You don't know what you're missing.
685
01:00:32,983 --> 01:00:36,078
- The water was wonderful.
- The water knows where to find me.
686
01:00:36,286 --> 01:00:39,688
I believe in progress and American
plumbing. When I need water...
687
01:00:39,890 --> 01:00:41,552
...I take a shower.
688
01:00:42,759 --> 01:00:44,091
- Wanna play catch?
- No.
689
01:00:44,294 --> 01:00:45,387
Would you?
690
01:00:45,596 --> 01:00:47,531
- No.
- You ungrateful people.
691
01:00:47,731 --> 01:00:51,429
You invite me to the beach, drive me
out in style to the cool breezes.
692
01:00:51,635 --> 01:00:55,538
Take me out of the nice, hot,
steaming city, and this is the thanks I get.
693
01:00:55,739 --> 01:00:59,767
And what's more, I'm hungry.
This violent inertia gives me an appetite.
694
01:00:59,977 --> 01:01:04,711
- You haven't been out of that chair.
- Every man has his own form of exercise.
695
01:01:05,115 --> 01:01:07,778
This is your party.
You know your way around here.
696
01:01:07,985 --> 01:01:11,251
Where's the food, or do we munch
seaweed to keep in the spirit?
697
01:01:11,455 --> 01:01:15,688
- Sandwiches are inside if you want them.
- You mean, I have to walk inside?
698
01:01:19,062 --> 01:01:21,054
Wonderful sea air.
699
01:01:22,099 --> 01:01:26,230
Do you ever get confused with all these
spare mansions you have kicking around?
700
01:01:26,436 --> 01:01:28,769
Beach house, town house,
country house.
701
01:01:28,972 --> 01:01:32,807
Personally, I get confused in
a hotel room with an adjoining towel.
702
01:01:34,878 --> 01:01:37,746
You get the feeling
that I'm not wanted here?
703
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:44,582
Why'd you run away?
704
01:01:45,889 --> 01:01:47,357
I don't like to be mauled.
705
01:01:47,557 --> 01:01:49,287
I was only trying to help you.
706
01:01:49,860 --> 01:01:53,558
I don't need your help. I'm perfectly
capable of taking care of myself.
707
01:01:53,764 --> 01:01:57,667
- I have a certain amount of pride too.
- Who says you haven't?
708
01:02:00,370 --> 01:02:02,339
What are you afraid of, Helen?
709
01:02:02,539 --> 01:02:04,201
I'm just careful.
710
01:02:04,408 --> 01:02:06,968
- Of what?
- Of the world in general.
711
01:02:07,177 --> 01:02:10,705
- That's pretty vague.
- It's a woman's privilege to be vague.
712
01:02:11,615 --> 01:02:14,881
You want people to think
you're brittle and shallow.
713
01:02:15,085 --> 01:02:18,021
The woman with a gay gag,
a wisecrack.
714
01:02:18,221 --> 01:02:20,122
You're not really that, you know.
715
01:02:20,691 --> 01:02:22,922
My friends will be delighted to hear it.
716
01:02:23,126 --> 01:02:24,856
You're lonely.
717
01:02:26,296 --> 01:02:29,892
You think you can fool me.
We're too alike. I know you too well.
718
01:02:30,100 --> 01:02:31,500
You don't know me at all.
719
01:02:32,402 --> 01:02:34,496
Why did you ask me out here today?
720
01:02:36,106 --> 01:02:39,201
I was coming out anyway,
and I thought you might enjoy it.
721
01:02:42,145 --> 01:02:43,374
That's not true.
722
01:02:45,082 --> 01:02:48,018
I don't like insolence,
even from guests.
723
01:02:58,962 --> 01:03:02,865
Tell me, Mrs. Wright, does your husband
interfere with your marriage?
724
01:03:03,066 --> 01:03:04,659
Why don't you play something?
725
01:03:04,868 --> 01:03:07,929
I don't like to play the piano.
It makes me too attractive.
726
01:03:08,138 --> 01:03:10,767
- Sandwich?
- No thanks. I'm on a liquid diet.
727
01:03:10,974 --> 01:03:11,974
Drink?
728
01:03:12,142 --> 01:03:14,111
No, I gotta get back for broadcast.
729
01:03:14,311 --> 01:03:15,904
Clear head, nimble fingers.
730
01:03:16,113 --> 01:03:18,139
- Just one?
- Broadcast.
731
01:03:18,348 --> 01:03:21,375
I play background music
for a drama called Life's a Dream.
732
01:03:21,752 --> 01:03:26,247
The girl's going blind. Her boyfriend just
discovered there's insanity in his family.
733
01:03:26,456 --> 01:03:28,891
Mama's a widow with
a mortgage years overdue.
734
01:03:29,092 --> 01:03:30,856
The brother's wanted by the cops.
735
01:03:31,061 --> 01:03:33,758
Otherwise, their life
is one laugh after another.
736
01:03:33,964 --> 01:03:37,958
I'm a man of fragments. Little here,
little there. Beach, broadcast.
737
01:03:38,568 --> 01:03:40,366
Nothing complete in my life...
738
01:03:40,570 --> 01:03:41,970
...if I had a life.
739
01:03:42,172 --> 01:03:43,435
Now, where were we?
740
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:47,577
I'm tired of talk. I don't like brainy
people. They're usually very dull.
741
01:03:47,778 --> 01:03:50,839
I prefer a touch of the brainless.
They're a happier breed.
742
01:03:51,048 --> 01:03:53,142
You're making a big mistake.
743
01:03:53,984 --> 01:03:55,384
You're brainless, you mean?
744
01:03:55,619 --> 01:03:59,249
I can do anything a brainless
man can do, and I can do it better.
745
01:03:59,456 --> 01:04:01,425
That sounds almost like a challenge.
746
01:04:35,258 --> 01:04:38,092
- I'm all right. Leave me alone.
- But your shirt's torn.
747
01:04:38,295 --> 01:04:40,355
Don't touch me.
748
01:04:41,731 --> 01:04:43,165
I said, I'm all right.
749
01:04:49,406 --> 01:04:51,204
Leave me alone, Paul.
750
01:04:56,346 --> 01:04:58,315
What are you thinking?
751
01:04:58,515 --> 01:04:59,949
Nothing.
752
01:05:07,691 --> 01:05:10,627
Don't nibble on the grass.
It stains your teeth.
753
01:05:11,795 --> 01:05:14,856
You might be sorry love
was ever invented, Paul.
754
01:05:15,065 --> 01:05:17,660
I'm not a simple person.
I have my faults.
755
01:05:17,868 --> 01:05:21,703
Who hasn't? I have a quota of them
tucked in my back pocket.
756
01:05:21,905 --> 01:05:24,841
I don't keep mine hidden though.
I wear them like medals.
757
01:05:25,242 --> 01:05:26,642
I'll take my chances.
758
01:05:27,210 --> 01:05:30,476
Ever since I can remember,
I've been a law to myself.
759
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,673
People were stupid
enough to put up with it.
760
01:05:37,287 --> 01:05:38,619
You never did.
761
01:05:38,822 --> 01:05:41,417
- And you liked that?
- No, I hated it.
762
01:05:41,625 --> 01:05:43,253
I was afraid of it. I still am.
763
01:05:43,460 --> 01:05:44,723
Why?
764
01:05:46,596 --> 01:05:50,363
It takes a great deal of courage
to look at ourselves as we really are.
765
01:05:50,567 --> 01:05:52,433
I never wanted to.
766
01:05:52,636 --> 01:05:54,002
So I drink.
767
01:05:54,404 --> 01:05:57,203
That's the truth, pure and simple.
768
01:05:57,407 --> 01:05:59,273
The truth is never simple.
769
01:05:59,476 --> 01:06:00,842
I know that.
770
01:06:01,745 --> 01:06:03,737
The truth is, I love you.
771
01:06:08,685 --> 01:06:11,655
I can't fight you any longer, Paul.
772
01:06:37,781 --> 01:06:39,147
Hello, Mom.
773
01:06:39,349 --> 01:06:42,979
- There's some cold chicken in the icebox.
- This is plenty. Thanks.
774
01:06:43,186 --> 01:06:44,814
Want some hot coffee?
775
01:06:45,455 --> 01:06:47,321
This is fine.
776
01:06:48,291 --> 01:06:51,557
Gina called. You had a date with her.
777
01:06:52,529 --> 01:06:54,395
I'm sorry. I forgot.
778
01:06:55,498 --> 01:06:58,263
- She's a nice girl.
- Yeah.
779
01:07:01,605 --> 01:07:05,337
Maybe it's none of my business, Paul,
but I wasn't born yesterday.
780
01:07:05,542 --> 01:07:08,068
- I see what's happening.
- Nothing's happening.
781
01:07:08,545 --> 01:07:09,740
You should know.
782
01:07:15,518 --> 01:07:16,918
What do you think, Mom?
783
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,589
She's a married woman.
What do you think?
784
01:07:19,789 --> 01:07:21,553
- I don't know.
- When will you know?
785
01:07:21,758 --> 01:07:25,593
- They'll publish the scandal in the papers.
- Nobody's publishing anything.
786
01:07:25,795 --> 01:07:27,661
Oh, they did it to better men.
787
01:07:27,864 --> 01:07:30,925
You're a clean boy with a clean
career, why get involved?
788
01:07:31,134 --> 01:07:34,866
- I tell you, I'm not involved.
- You'll have to get up early to fool me.
789
01:07:35,071 --> 01:07:37,006
I don't wanna talk about it.
790
01:07:39,509 --> 01:07:40,977
Paul.
791
01:07:55,225 --> 01:07:57,456
My opinion of Mrs. Wright
doesn't matter...
792
01:07:57,661 --> 01:07:59,323
...but I know you.
793
01:07:59,529 --> 01:08:02,897
Inside, Paul, you want
a wife, home, children.
794
01:08:03,099 --> 01:08:07,002
- Let me live my life. I know what I want.
- Don't let your life get twisted.
795
01:08:07,203 --> 01:08:10,139
It's not the same for you.
Your life is different.
796
01:08:10,340 --> 01:08:14,038
You're not someone who can put work
in one drawer, his life in another.
797
01:08:14,244 --> 01:08:17,476
Everything you do, everything
you think is a part of it.
798
01:08:17,681 --> 01:08:22,312
Wind me up and I play. Concerts on
request. Is that all I'm supposed to be?
799
01:08:22,519 --> 01:08:25,978
I want more. I'm not a machine.
I've got feelings too.
800
01:08:26,189 --> 01:08:28,215
You have to pay for what you get.
801
01:08:28,425 --> 01:08:31,554
Special people got
special things to pay for.
802
01:08:31,761 --> 01:08:34,424
- What's left for me?
- Music.
803
01:08:40,737 --> 01:08:41,932
Be careful.
804
01:08:42,138 --> 01:08:46,667
The stakes are big. This isn't a two-hour
trip to Chinatown. This is for life.
805
01:08:47,344 --> 01:08:51,475
Think of the future. Think of what
it'll be next year and the year after.
806
01:08:51,681 --> 01:08:53,547
Think of your work.
807
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:38,592
So long, Fitzie.
808
01:09:38,795 --> 01:09:40,457
Gina.
809
01:09:40,897 --> 01:09:44,595
- It's good to see you. How are you, Gina?
- Hello, Paul.
810
01:09:44,801 --> 01:09:46,292
I hear the tour went well.
811
01:09:46,503 --> 01:09:48,904
Bauer thinks so.
Is he doing anything for you?
812
01:09:49,105 --> 01:09:51,404
It's slow. I'm with
the Block String Quartet.
813
01:09:51,608 --> 01:09:54,009
Leopold Stokowski
organized a youth orchestra.
814
01:09:54,210 --> 01:09:56,941
I thought Mr. Bauer
might arrange an audition for me.
815
01:09:57,147 --> 01:10:00,584
- It's arranged. Let's have lunch together.
- I really must wait--
816
01:10:00,784 --> 01:10:02,184
Sid's going to be there.
817
01:10:02,385 --> 01:10:05,253
The Block String Quartet.
Why hasn't anyone told me?
818
01:10:05,455 --> 01:10:07,287
Gee, it's nice to see you.
819
01:10:36,686 --> 01:10:40,919
- Why is Sid always late?
- You know Sid. He has no sense of time.
820
01:10:41,124 --> 01:10:42,558
It's a modern invention.
821
01:10:42,759 --> 01:10:45,888
Sid has no use for modern inventions.
822
01:10:46,095 --> 01:10:49,122
Maybe he's right. No one
seems to have time anymore.
823
01:10:49,332 --> 01:10:52,860
I've been up to my ears, the tour,
recordings, Bauer. You know.
824
01:10:53,069 --> 01:10:55,903
- No, I don't.
- You're not angry with me, are you?
825
01:10:56,105 --> 01:10:59,940
You're a blank check in my emotions.
Any amount you want you can write in.
826
01:11:00,143 --> 01:11:03,136
- Gina, what's the matter with you?
- You've changed.
827
01:11:03,346 --> 01:11:05,679
Me? Maybe you've changed.
828
01:11:06,349 --> 01:11:10,047
You're successful. You're in the limelight.
That makes you different.
829
01:11:10,253 --> 01:11:12,484
Maybe I'm a little jealous.
830
01:11:12,689 --> 01:11:18,253
We ought to be able to forget old friends,
pack them away in some dim corner.
831
01:11:18,461 --> 01:11:21,693
- That would be the kindest way.
- What do you expect me to say?
832
01:11:21,898 --> 01:11:24,834
Roses are red,
violets are blue and so am I?
833
01:11:25,668 --> 01:11:26,761
I'm blue.
834
01:11:34,644 --> 01:11:37,842
Gina! This is like old home week.
835
01:11:38,047 --> 01:11:41,176
You look lovely. Has anyone
told you? Let me be the first.
836
01:11:41,384 --> 01:11:43,046
Helen, I....
837
01:11:43,253 --> 01:11:45,950
Do you know Mrs. Wright?
This is Miss Rommeney.
838
01:11:46,155 --> 01:11:47,248
- Hello.
- Hello.
839
01:11:47,457 --> 01:11:51,087
Every day and every way.
Here, let me give you a kiss.
840
01:11:51,895 --> 01:11:55,491
- Well, won't you join us?
- Sorry. I can't stay.
841
01:11:55,698 --> 01:11:59,635
I just came to add my congratulations
to the general acclaim.
842
01:12:00,036 --> 01:12:02,198
Excuse me, please.
843
01:12:02,972 --> 01:12:06,374
Hey, wait a minute.
Thanks for the lift downtown.
844
01:12:08,211 --> 01:12:11,841
See? When I'm courteous, I'm ignored.
845
01:12:13,917 --> 01:12:16,785
- Maybe I'll never see him again.
- You'll see him again.
846
01:12:16,986 --> 01:12:20,047
Temporarily, he's on his way
to placate a jealous woman.
847
01:12:20,657 --> 01:12:24,389
- You hear about the tour? We stunned them.
- Sid, what is she like?
848
01:12:25,094 --> 01:12:26,528
Helen?
849
01:12:27,030 --> 01:12:31,593
She's as complex as a Bach fugue,
born with a silver flask in her mouth.
850
01:12:31,801 --> 01:12:34,236
Helen has a big alumnus
association behind her.
851
01:12:34,737 --> 01:12:38,037
- She's quite a gal.
- So it seems.
852
01:12:38,808 --> 01:12:41,744
- You're quite a gal yourself.
- You're nice, Sid.
853
01:12:41,978 --> 01:12:45,278
Say I'm wonderful or unbearable,
but don't ever say I'm nice.
854
01:12:45,481 --> 01:12:48,474
I was in love once. It took me
two weeks to get over her.
855
01:12:48,685 --> 01:12:53,055
I played all the 32 Beethoven sonatas.
It took exactly two weeks.
856
01:12:53,256 --> 01:12:58,422
So it ain't funny. Why don't we get drunk.
Drink to laurel wreaths and curtain calls.
857
01:12:58,628 --> 01:13:01,621
- To fame, fortune and success.
- I wanna get out of here.
858
01:13:01,831 --> 01:13:03,094
Sure.
859
01:13:03,299 --> 01:13:08,033
There's an old Irish saying. "Light your pipe.
There's only wind and smoke in the world."
860
01:13:08,237 --> 01:13:10,263
Translation: Easy does it.
861
01:13:10,473 --> 01:13:12,533
Easy does it every time, baby.
862
01:13:16,279 --> 01:13:20,182
Want piano lessons? Twenty-five
cents a lesson, you'll be my only pupil.
863
01:13:20,383 --> 01:13:22,943
You think you're better
than I am, don't you?
864
01:13:55,284 --> 01:13:58,186
- For you, sir?
- Sure, why not.
865
01:14:04,894 --> 01:14:09,195
- How many years did you study the whistle?
- It's a secondary instrument with me.
866
01:14:09,399 --> 01:14:13,530
- The violin is my dish.
- Where did you meet her? Philadelphia?
867
01:14:13,736 --> 01:14:17,468
- Is she one of your ardent admirers?
- Gina is an old friend.
868
01:14:17,674 --> 01:14:18,903
Obviously.
869
01:14:19,108 --> 01:14:22,374
Did you play hopscotch with her
on the sidewalks in your youth?
870
01:14:22,578 --> 01:14:24,843
She was at the Institute.
She's a musician.
871
01:14:26,282 --> 01:14:28,581
That must give you
a great deal in common.
872
01:14:28,785 --> 01:14:31,687
- Invite me the next time you play a duet.
- I will.
873
01:14:36,693 --> 01:14:38,594
Why didn't you call me?
874
01:14:38,795 --> 01:14:41,060
Philadelphia isn't the end of the world.
875
01:14:41,264 --> 01:14:43,096
I didn't want to.
876
01:14:44,300 --> 01:14:47,327
Thanks. That's nice of you.
877
01:14:48,304 --> 01:14:51,797
- I wanted time to think.
- How convenient.
878
01:14:52,008 --> 01:14:55,069
Men want the convenience
and none of the difficulties.
879
01:14:55,278 --> 01:14:59,739
- What did you think about, Tchaikovsky?
- I thought about us.
880
01:14:59,949 --> 01:15:03,044
- You don't expect me to believe that.
- I don't care.
881
01:15:03,252 --> 01:15:06,416
- I'd like to slap your face.
- Why don't you try it.
882
01:15:13,429 --> 01:15:15,830
I'm sorry I did that.
883
01:15:18,668 --> 01:15:19,668
The glass is wet.
884
01:15:19,869 --> 01:15:22,361
It makes circles on the table.
885
01:15:23,372 --> 01:15:25,000
Let's get out of here.
886
01:16:05,782 --> 01:16:09,913
- I'm tired of quarrels.
- It's not my doing. I didn't want it.
887
01:16:10,119 --> 01:16:13,556
Did you think you could go away
for weeks, never call or write...
888
01:16:13,756 --> 01:16:18,057
...and come find me hanging in a closet
like a suit you might put on someday?
889
01:16:18,494 --> 01:16:21,931
Paul, what good is a woman
if she's no use to anyone?
890
01:16:22,131 --> 01:16:23,326
I....
891
01:16:23,533 --> 01:16:27,334
- I owe you a great deal.
- Oh, give it to charity.
892
01:16:29,372 --> 01:16:31,307
Let me help you.
893
01:16:31,507 --> 01:16:33,874
Let me help in the small ways that I can.
894
01:16:34,343 --> 01:16:38,678
You have talent, something solid
to hang onto no matter what happens.
895
01:16:39,248 --> 01:16:41,308
I envy you that.
896
01:16:41,517 --> 01:16:44,976
I'll live without the grand opera
love is supposed to be, only...
897
01:16:45,188 --> 01:16:47,714
...don't close me out of your life.
Please don't.
898
01:16:47,924 --> 01:16:50,155
Take me into your life.
899
01:16:50,693 --> 01:16:52,719
You're married, Helen.
900
01:16:52,929 --> 01:16:54,761
We're both old enough to vote.
901
01:16:57,166 --> 01:16:59,533
It makes me laugh,
how much alike we are.
902
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:03,729
This sparring around like
two wrestlers looking for a hold.
903
01:17:04,941 --> 01:17:10,573
At times, a sense of humor's welcome.
We don't laugh enough. That's our trouble.
904
01:17:11,180 --> 01:17:15,117
It's your fault.
I think you were born angry.
905
01:17:15,318 --> 01:17:19,380
- I don't like angry people.
- Evidently, you don't think much of me.
906
01:17:19,922 --> 01:17:21,857
I love you, so I don't care
what I think of you.
907
01:21:43,319 --> 01:21:46,016
Mr. Jeffers, is Mr. Boray your protégé?
908
01:21:46,222 --> 01:21:48,623
Our relationship is like
George Sand to Chopin.
909
01:21:48,824 --> 01:21:52,022
Could you induce Mr. Boray
to come to a small party tonight?
910
01:21:52,228 --> 01:21:55,687
- I'll have to see the guest list first.
- Mr. Jeffers!
911
01:21:55,898 --> 01:22:00,427
I'll have to call off our date.
I'm sorry. It's okay, let him in.
912
01:22:00,636 --> 01:22:03,902
- I'm his cousin.
- They don't even believe I'm his father!
913
01:22:04,106 --> 01:22:07,736
- I hope that hasn't troubled you before?
- Wait, Sid. Esther. I forgot.
914
01:22:07,943 --> 01:22:10,845
Esther and the whole family
are in there. Let's go in.
915
01:22:11,046 --> 01:22:14,676
- Imagine. I'm his father.
- You're brilliant, Mr. Boray.
916
01:22:14,884 --> 01:22:16,944
Paul, you were wonderful.
917
01:22:17,153 --> 01:22:18,917
- My boy.
- Terrific, Paul.
918
01:22:19,121 --> 01:22:21,522
I hope I can play as well as you.
919
01:23:16,912 --> 01:23:21,077
Bravo! Bravo! Encore! Encore!
I'm the second greatest pianist.
920
01:23:21,283 --> 01:23:24,185
I won't mention the first.
Too many guys would get sore.
921
01:23:24,386 --> 01:23:27,015
- You're the most conceited.
- I like to be the best.
922
01:23:27,223 --> 01:23:29,988
- Many objectionable people have talent.
- Is that so?
923
01:23:30,192 --> 01:23:32,787
I know a lot of talented people
who are objectionable.
924
01:23:33,229 --> 01:23:35,391
- Is that so?
- Where's that magazine?
925
01:23:35,598 --> 01:23:38,591
The one that said I'm
the white hope of the musical world.
926
01:23:38,801 --> 01:23:41,737
It's gotta be easy enough to find.
You bought 12 copies.
927
01:23:41,937 --> 01:23:43,428
Here it is.
928
01:23:44,273 --> 01:23:46,765
- Not bad.
- First, they discovered Bugs Bunny...
929
01:23:46,976 --> 01:23:51,141
...then Jack Benny and Shostakovich.
Now the great Paul Boray!
930
01:23:51,347 --> 01:23:53,213
What? Don't I rate their praises?
931
01:23:53,415 --> 01:23:56,510
You rate a kick in the pants
if you believe everything.
932
01:23:56,752 --> 01:23:58,721
The prosecuting attorney in my life.
933
01:23:58,921 --> 01:24:00,651
You won't let me think I'm good.
934
01:24:00,856 --> 01:24:03,223
- Your schooling's ahead, Paul.
- That's tough.
935
01:24:03,425 --> 01:24:07,863
You follow one success with another.
Then we'll see how tough you are.
936
01:24:13,902 --> 01:24:16,531
- Mom, Pop, how are you?
- Hello, Paul.
937
01:24:16,739 --> 01:24:18,332
Come on in.
938
01:24:25,648 --> 01:24:27,640
- Hello, Sidney.
- Hello.
939
01:24:27,850 --> 01:24:30,752
- How do you like it, huh?
- Wonderful.
940
01:24:30,953 --> 01:24:33,513
Well, it looks bigger than it is.
941
01:24:33,722 --> 01:24:36,487
It's only two rooms, a bedroom,
this room and kitchen.
942
01:24:36,692 --> 01:24:39,423
I'm gonna work in here.
Come on, look around.
943
01:24:39,628 --> 01:24:41,995
We got a real view.
We can see the river.
944
01:24:42,197 --> 01:24:45,634
You know, we can get a sea breeze too.
945
01:24:46,335 --> 01:24:48,133
Why, it's an eagle's nest.
946
01:24:48,337 --> 01:24:51,398
- How do you like it, Mom?
- Where did you get the drapes?
947
01:24:51,607 --> 01:24:54,270
Mrs. Wright picked them out.
You like them?
948
01:24:56,545 --> 01:25:00,073
- Nice drapes.
- That's the kitchen. It's not very big.
949
01:25:00,282 --> 01:25:02,808
But then I'm not a very good cook.
950
01:25:03,018 --> 01:25:06,216
Well, Sidney, what do you think
of my Paul's apartment?
951
01:25:06,422 --> 01:25:08,084
I don't know what to say.
952
01:25:08,524 --> 01:25:12,518
Paul has an itch to live a life of fashion
and nothing will cure him.
953
01:25:12,728 --> 01:25:16,563
Everything's so expensive and fancy,
but what is this ugly pot doing here?
954
01:25:17,066 --> 01:25:21,128
My psychoanalyst told me it reminds me
of something that happened in my youth.
955
01:25:21,337 --> 01:25:24,501
So long as you're happy, Sidney,
that's all that matters.
956
01:25:35,784 --> 01:25:40,051
Esther, look, our picture's in
a silver frame. It's nice, isn't it?
957
01:25:45,494 --> 01:25:49,522
A woman told me this morning
I look like an owl. I don't see it.
958
01:25:49,732 --> 01:25:52,930
I think Mom's still mad at me.
959
01:25:53,402 --> 01:25:58,136
Paul, you know women. All mothers
think their son's a baby till he gets bald.
960
01:25:58,340 --> 01:26:00,605
No, I don't think
she likes the apartment.
961
01:26:00,809 --> 01:26:03,278
I don't think she thinks
it's right. Do you?
962
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:06,643
Well, with all due respect,
there are some things, but....
963
01:26:06,849 --> 01:26:10,581
Paul, do what you think is right.
Statistics show you'll never be wrong.
964
01:26:10,786 --> 01:26:15,451
- Now, what's through here?
- The bedroom, dressing room and shower.
965
01:26:15,657 --> 01:26:19,059
A room for every occasion.
It's wonderful.
966
01:26:21,697 --> 01:26:25,259
- What do you think you'll find, Mom?
- What I find wherever I look.
967
01:26:25,467 --> 01:26:29,529
- I can't take this seriously.
- You don't know what you're doing.
968
01:26:29,738 --> 01:26:33,266
- Mom, don't be old-fashioned.
- Is that what you call it?
969
01:26:33,475 --> 01:26:36,104
It's your life, but remember,
I told you.
970
01:26:36,311 --> 01:26:39,873
All right. I'm in love with her.
Is that what you want me to say?
971
01:26:40,082 --> 01:26:43,678
You know what she is. There's
something wrong with a woman like that.
972
01:26:43,886 --> 01:26:48,153
- Please, you don't know what you're saying.
- Believe me, it's no good.
973
01:26:48,357 --> 01:26:51,589
- What can marriage mean to her?
- You never gave her a chance.
974
01:26:51,794 --> 01:26:53,820
You never liked her, never tried.
975
01:26:54,029 --> 01:26:57,158
- I won't have you talk about her.
- I need your permission?
976
01:26:57,366 --> 01:27:00,063
Don't try to tell me what to do!
977
01:27:07,342 --> 01:27:12,610
Paul, did you know man is 60 percent
water? I read it in the paper the other day.
978
01:27:14,349 --> 01:27:17,012
There's a leak here.
Talk to the landlord about it.
979
01:27:17,219 --> 01:27:18,881
I'll talk to him.
980
01:27:30,699 --> 01:27:34,795
- Is it really possible to hit the bull's eye?
- Yes, with practice.
981
01:27:35,003 --> 01:27:38,633
- Like everything else, I suppose.
- Like most things.
982
01:27:39,107 --> 01:27:42,009
Had a curious conversation
the other day.
983
01:27:42,211 --> 01:27:43,873
A friend of mine...
984
01:27:44,079 --> 01:27:45,843
...wanted some advice.
985
01:27:46,048 --> 01:27:48,108
He's having trouble...
986
01:27:48,317 --> 01:27:50,047
...with his wife.
987
01:27:51,453 --> 01:27:53,649
A young man involved.
988
01:27:54,089 --> 01:27:58,185
And he, my friend,
doesn't quite know what to do.
989
01:27:58,393 --> 01:28:01,329
Of course, he hasn't
the right to do anything.
990
01:28:01,530 --> 01:28:05,524
- No? Why?
- He's only an excuse for a man, really.
991
01:28:05,734 --> 01:28:08,932
Never done very much.
Never wanted to.
992
01:28:09,137 --> 01:28:11,402
Fates and a few energetic ancestors...
993
01:28:11,607 --> 01:28:14,839
...have allowed him to lead
a rather soft and easy life.
994
01:28:15,477 --> 01:28:17,537
On the whole, he prefers it that way.
995
01:28:17,746 --> 01:28:19,772
Naturally, his wife...
996
01:28:19,982 --> 01:28:24,147
...quite a personality
in her own right, never liked that.
997
01:28:24,353 --> 01:28:26,948
Always a bit contemptuous of him.
998
01:28:27,155 --> 01:28:31,217
The peculiar thing is that
he loves his wife very much.
999
01:28:31,426 --> 01:28:34,123
In his own way, of course.
1000
01:28:34,329 --> 01:28:36,491
He's never been able
to prove it to her.
1001
01:28:36,698 --> 01:28:38,963
Not man enough, I suppose.
1002
01:28:39,368 --> 01:28:42,099
Not enough character,
as the Good Book says.
1003
01:28:43,005 --> 01:28:47,204
Still, he's learned to make less mess
in public than any man living.
1004
01:28:47,409 --> 01:28:49,776
Of course,
that's only a negative virtue.
1005
01:28:49,978 --> 01:28:52,709
It doesn't fool a wife for very long.
1006
01:28:53,315 --> 01:28:55,614
What do you know?
I hit the bull's eye.
1007
01:28:55,817 --> 01:28:59,982
So all things considered, he's thinking
of giving his wife a divorce.
1008
01:29:00,689 --> 01:29:03,750
- You think that's a reasonable solution?
- Victor, stop it.
1009
01:29:04,459 --> 01:29:06,690
- Why don't you.
- There's nothing to stop.
1010
01:29:06,895 --> 01:29:09,023
- Rumor has it otherwise.
- Only rumor?
1011
01:29:09,231 --> 01:29:12,258
No backstairs gossip?
No anonymous letters?
1012
01:29:13,101 --> 01:29:14,364
I'm sorry, Helen...
1013
01:29:14,570 --> 01:29:17,506
...rumor is a dubious
and rather nasty authority.
1014
01:29:23,812 --> 01:29:26,748
What can this boy give you?
Suppose you do marry him...
1015
01:29:26,949 --> 01:29:28,315
...how long would it last?
1016
01:29:28,517 --> 01:29:31,385
How long before you get tired
of him, or he of you?
1017
01:29:31,587 --> 01:29:34,079
You know yourself better
than anyone else, Helen.
1018
01:29:34,289 --> 01:29:36,383
Can you change now?
1019
01:29:36,592 --> 01:29:39,323
And if you don't, do you really
believe he'll change?
1020
01:29:39,528 --> 01:29:41,724
He doesn't know
what it means to be soft.
1021
01:29:41,930 --> 01:29:44,126
Nothing means anything
to him but music.
1022
01:29:44,333 --> 01:29:48,828
- I never said I wanted to marry him.
- Do you love him?
1023
01:29:49,771 --> 01:29:52,297
You say you've loved me, Victor.
1024
01:29:52,507 --> 01:29:54,567
But what kind of a love has it been?
1025
01:29:54,776 --> 01:29:58,975
I know you've always been courteous
and always remembered my birthday.
1026
01:29:59,181 --> 01:30:03,881
But is that the final sum and substance
of our marriage? Courtesy and greetings?
1027
01:30:05,354 --> 01:30:07,220
I know what I am.
1028
01:30:07,422 --> 01:30:09,448
I know what I've become.
1029
01:30:09,658 --> 01:30:13,356
I've never had the chance to love.
You don't like emotions.
1030
01:30:13,562 --> 01:30:18,227
They're wearing. They make demands.
They interfere with the pleasant life.
1031
01:30:19,067 --> 01:30:24,529
So I've learned to hide away love
and hate and everything strong in me.
1032
01:30:24,740 --> 01:30:27,642
I've tucked them away
where they wouldn't bother us.
1033
01:30:27,843 --> 01:30:31,211
We've hung a sign on our lives,
"Do Not Disturb."
1034
01:30:32,347 --> 01:30:34,839
You can have the divorce, Helen.
1035
01:35:20,535 --> 01:35:24,302
- Mr. Boray, a note for you.
- Thanks.
1036
01:35:32,614 --> 01:35:36,142
- May we take it again from letter G, please?
- Certainly.
1037
01:35:36,351 --> 01:35:37,580
- Thanks.
- Letter G.
1038
01:36:03,979 --> 01:36:05,675
- Hello?
- Hello, Sid?
1039
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:07,314
- Yeah?
- Have you seen Helen?
1040
01:36:07,515 --> 01:36:10,144
She was supposed to meet me
at the club for dinner.
1041
01:36:10,352 --> 01:36:12,719
It's 2:30 in the morning.
Have dinner alone.
1042
01:36:12,921 --> 01:36:16,824
- Stop kidding. Have you seen her?
- She was with Loeffler. Try Teddy's bar.
1043
01:36:17,025 --> 01:36:19,927
- Okay.
- If not, call me back in an hour.
1044
01:36:20,128 --> 01:36:22,359
I ought to be asleep by then.
1045
01:37:29,197 --> 01:37:31,530
Does she have to sing that?
1046
01:37:32,167 --> 01:37:34,727
Why don't you hire
a good trombone player, Teddy.
1047
01:37:34,936 --> 01:37:38,805
Ask her to stop, Teddy.
She's annoying Mrs. Wright.
1048
01:37:39,007 --> 01:37:41,476
No offense, I hope, Teddy.
1049
01:37:41,676 --> 01:37:43,804
No offense, Mrs. Wright.
1050
01:37:44,012 --> 01:37:45,878
No offense.
1051
01:37:52,654 --> 01:37:54,782
Well, what do you know?
1052
01:37:54,989 --> 01:37:56,457
This place is haunted.
1053
01:38:00,462 --> 01:38:02,727
Hello, Paul.
1054
01:38:02,931 --> 01:38:05,867
How about a drink
for the gentleman, Teddy.
1055
01:38:06,067 --> 01:38:08,696
What are you looking at?
Don't you want a drink?
1056
01:38:08,903 --> 01:38:12,863
- Gentleman's changed his mind.
- You've had enough.
1057
01:38:14,342 --> 01:38:15,935
I'm thirsty.
1058
01:38:16,144 --> 01:38:18,204
- Nothing for you? Sure?
- Nothing.
1059
01:38:18,413 --> 01:38:20,143
I wanna take you home.
1060
01:38:20,615 --> 01:38:22,481
The gallant knight.
1061
01:38:22,684 --> 01:38:25,813
Quiet. Soft music.
My friend's being considerate.
1062
01:38:26,020 --> 01:38:27,716
He wants to take me home.
1063
01:38:27,922 --> 01:38:30,915
- The way you took me to dinner?
- I'm sorry. I was held up.
1064
01:38:31,126 --> 01:38:34,460
- The rehearsal lasted longer.
- I can't spend my life waiting.
1065
01:38:34,662 --> 01:38:36,607
- I came as soon as I could.
- Wasn't soon enough.
1066
01:38:36,631 --> 01:38:37,997
Helen, I'm tired.
1067
01:38:38,199 --> 01:38:40,691
- Only the usual.
- I wanna go home, get some rest.
1068
01:38:40,902 --> 01:38:42,200
- Go ahead.
- You're coming.
1069
01:38:42,403 --> 01:38:44,065
Leave me alone.
1070
01:38:44,272 --> 01:38:48,937
Go back to your music. I'm tired of playing
second fiddle to the ghost of Beethoven.
1071
01:38:49,144 --> 01:38:51,306
- Put it down.
- Mind your own business.
1072
01:38:51,513 --> 01:38:54,608
- No offense. Mind your own business.
- I said, put it down.
1073
01:38:54,816 --> 01:38:58,685
- Look, I don't think Mrs. Wright wants--
- Take your hands off him, Teddy.
1074
01:38:58,887 --> 01:39:01,948
I'm sorry. No offense.
1075
01:39:03,358 --> 01:39:06,123
That's my line, no offense.
1076
01:39:07,495 --> 01:39:08,929
No offense, anybody.
1077
01:39:19,674 --> 01:39:23,270
- Let me alone, Paul. I'm a lost crusade.
- Turn around.
1078
01:39:26,481 --> 01:39:28,643
You're a hangman's noose to me.
1079
01:39:28,850 --> 01:39:30,614
Please leave me alone.
1080
01:39:30,818 --> 01:39:33,083
Say good night.
1081
01:39:37,358 --> 01:39:39,691
Good night, Monte.
1082
01:39:39,894 --> 01:39:41,385
- Night, Teddy.
- Night, Helen.
1083
01:39:41,596 --> 01:39:43,155
Night, Mrs. Wright.
1084
01:39:49,671 --> 01:39:53,005
A French philosopher once listed
300 ways of committing suicide.
1085
01:39:53,208 --> 01:39:54,676
- Yeah?
- He left one out:
1086
01:39:54,876 --> 01:39:57,436
Falling in love with an artist.
1087
01:40:06,721 --> 01:40:09,657
Be careful, that's the only pot
that was ever true to me.
1088
01:40:09,857 --> 01:40:11,018
Drink your coffee.
1089
01:40:11,226 --> 01:40:14,128
Here we go again.
Only a man who doesn't drink...
1090
01:40:14,329 --> 01:40:17,663
- ...thinks black coffee sobers you up.
- I envy people who drink.
1091
01:40:17,865 --> 01:40:22,064
- They know what to blame everything on.
- If it's so simple, why don't you drink?
1092
01:40:22,270 --> 01:40:24,637
- I have no character.
- Don't brag.
1093
01:40:24,839 --> 01:40:26,899
- How do you feel?
- Who, me?
1094
01:40:27,108 --> 01:40:28,633
Oh, wonderful.
1095
01:40:28,843 --> 01:40:32,974
I need a hot towel or a cold shower.
Either or both or vice versa.
1096
01:40:33,181 --> 01:40:35,673
I hate cold showers. They stimulate me.
1097
01:40:35,883 --> 01:40:38,717
- Then I don't know what to do.
- Try getting some sleep.
1098
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:41,651
It's an idea, not original.
I had the idea hours ago.
1099
01:40:41,856 --> 01:40:44,451
You were playing games
with phones and doorbells.
1100
01:40:44,659 --> 01:40:49,029
Maybe it's a personal idiosyncrasy of mine,
but loud noises never put me to sleep.
1101
01:40:49,230 --> 01:40:51,961
- Sure there's nothing else I can do?
- Yeah, I'm sure.
1102
01:40:52,166 --> 01:40:56,103
Maybe I can play the Hammerklavier sonata.
Takes an hour if I leave out the repeats.
1103
01:40:56,304 --> 01:40:58,136
Good night, Sid.
1104
01:40:58,339 --> 01:41:00,501
- Sure you don't need me?
- Good night, Sid.
1105
01:41:00,708 --> 01:41:03,610
Okay, remember, I'm not taking
any more calls tonight.
1106
01:41:03,811 --> 01:41:06,576
I'm entered in a dog show.
I have to be up at 6:00.
1107
01:41:06,781 --> 01:41:08,977
- Think I have a chance?
- You'll do great.
1108
01:41:34,108 --> 01:41:36,634
Autumn's a sad time of year.
1109
01:41:36,844 --> 01:41:40,440
When I was a kid, it meant
the holidays were over. Back to school.
1110
01:41:40,648 --> 01:41:45,586
It's a pretty sight from up here. Not so
pretty close up, though. Nothing ever is.
1111
01:41:45,787 --> 01:41:48,586
The Boray point of view.
The top of the world.
1112
01:41:51,993 --> 01:41:55,088
- What are you thinking about?
- What happened tonight?
1113
01:41:56,464 --> 01:42:00,162
I spoke to Victor.
He'll give me the divorce.
1114
01:42:04,572 --> 01:42:07,064
- Did you hear?
- Yes, I heard.
1115
01:42:08,743 --> 01:42:11,838
- He was very kind about it.
- Was he?
1116
01:42:12,046 --> 01:42:13,947
What else did he say?
1117
01:42:14,916 --> 01:42:17,784
- Nothing.
- What else did he say, Helen?
1118
01:42:17,985 --> 01:42:21,786
- I tell you, that's all he said.
- Then why the tears? Why the dramatics?
1119
01:42:21,989 --> 01:42:24,185
Why not? I'm losing a husband.
1120
01:42:24,392 --> 01:42:27,487
You're hiding something.
I know you too well. What happened?
1121
01:42:27,695 --> 01:42:30,893
- Why did you go out with Monte?
- He offered to buy me a drink.
1122
01:42:31,099 --> 01:42:33,762
- You do well enough without him.
- I like to drink.
1123
01:42:34,202 --> 01:42:37,661
- It's an escape you once told me.
- I once told you I loved you.
1124
01:42:37,872 --> 01:42:40,068
Why don't you remember that?
1125
01:42:40,308 --> 01:42:45,269
- Helen, Helen....
- Don't hold out hope. Beware of pity.
1126
01:42:45,480 --> 01:42:48,416
I love you. I wanna marry you.
1127
01:42:48,616 --> 01:42:51,916
Marry. It's an easy word to say,
isn't it?
1128
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:54,851
It rolls so trippingly off the tongue.
1129
01:42:55,056 --> 01:42:57,252
The bride wore white. No.
1130
01:42:57,992 --> 01:43:02,225
That's only for the first marriage.
Red for the second, black for the third.
1131
01:43:02,430 --> 01:43:05,764
- Stop it.
- What are you afraid of, Paul? The truth?
1132
01:43:05,967 --> 01:43:09,335
You don't want me, not really.
It's someone you made up.
1133
01:43:09,537 --> 01:43:13,497
You need the homemaker type. Outside of
music, you cherish standard virtues.
1134
01:43:13,708 --> 01:43:17,167
No, you don't want me, Paul.
I'm too wearing on the nerves.
1135
01:43:17,912 --> 01:43:20,780
- Why hold up the wall? Let it fall.
- You don't know--
1136
01:43:20,982 --> 01:43:24,680
- I won't change, you know.
- I'm not asking you to anymore.
1137
01:43:25,820 --> 01:43:28,517
- It won't work, I tell you.
- How do we know?
1138
01:43:28,723 --> 01:43:31,352
Why don't you say it?
Speak out clear with courage.
1139
01:43:31,559 --> 01:43:33,824
Can't you say you don't love me
and never wanna see me?
1140
01:43:34,028 --> 01:43:38,432
- I wanna marry you.
- You're married already. Married to work.
1141
01:43:38,633 --> 01:43:41,364
You're married to your music.
You'll never marry me.
1142
01:43:41,569 --> 01:43:44,869
Don't forget your music, Paul.
Don't ever forget your music.
1143
01:43:45,072 --> 01:43:49,840
- How I hate music. I detest it.
- Stop it. Stop it.
1144
01:43:50,545 --> 01:43:53,538
Don't fight. Don't try to fight anymore.
1145
01:43:54,615 --> 01:43:57,608
No, I won't. I can't.
1146
01:44:00,354 --> 01:44:02,186
I love you, Paul.
1147
01:44:02,957 --> 01:44:04,653
I love you.
1148
01:44:06,494 --> 01:44:10,659
- Hello, Mrs. Sheff. What can I do for you?
- I want some candy for my Monroe.
1149
01:44:10,865 --> 01:44:12,857
I have just what you want.
1150
01:44:13,835 --> 01:44:16,464
- All-day suckers.
- They're so small.
1151
01:44:16,671 --> 01:44:19,505
But the days are getting shorter,
Mrs. Sheff.
1152
01:44:19,707 --> 01:44:23,371
- And I want some bologna.
- I have some nice bologna with garlic.
1153
01:44:23,578 --> 01:44:25,171
Over on this side.
1154
01:44:25,379 --> 01:44:27,041
Oh, excuse me.
1155
01:44:31,252 --> 01:44:33,448
I'll be with you in a minute.
1156
01:44:40,394 --> 01:44:41,919
Mrs. Wright.
1157
01:44:42,129 --> 01:44:44,689
Hope you don't mind my coming.
I should've called.
1158
01:44:44,899 --> 01:44:47,926
Oh, don't apologize.
It's a pleasure. It's an honor.
1159
01:44:48,135 --> 01:44:51,128
I bet you haven't been in many
grocery stores, have you?
1160
01:44:51,339 --> 01:44:55,106
It's too bad it isn't tomorrow.
I'm getting a new slicing machine.
1161
01:44:55,309 --> 01:44:57,869
Paul bought it for me.
Cuts bread and everything.
1162
01:44:58,079 --> 01:45:00,241
Would you believe it?
You push a button:
1163
01:45:00,448 --> 01:45:01,746
The slices come out even.
1164
01:45:01,949 --> 01:45:05,283
I don't think Mrs. Wright
came to hear these things, Rudy.
1165
01:45:07,455 --> 01:45:11,449
- Will you come upstairs, Mrs. Wright?
- Thank you.
1166
01:45:22,703 --> 01:45:26,162
Mrs. Wright of Fifth Avenue,
friend of the family.
1167
01:45:26,374 --> 01:45:30,835
- I've got friends on Second Avenue.
- I'll cut your bologna.
1168
01:45:33,014 --> 01:45:36,007
Why did you come here?
You didn't have to.
1169
01:45:37,151 --> 01:45:40,815
I have one virtue, Mrs. Boray.
I've never lied to myself.
1170
01:45:41,756 --> 01:45:46,717
I've lived a meaningless and absurd life
among silly and rather futile people.
1171
01:45:46,928 --> 01:45:48,988
I tried to run away from it.
1172
01:45:49,997 --> 01:45:53,866
The easiest way, of course,
was drinking.
1173
01:45:55,036 --> 01:45:58,029
- But it didn't work.
- And now it's Paul?
1174
01:45:58,239 --> 01:46:01,038
Another chance to run away.
Another chance to escape.
1175
01:46:01,509 --> 01:46:05,537
Oh, no. No, Paul
never meant that to me.
1176
01:46:06,314 --> 01:46:08,647
Do you know why I tried
to help him at first?
1177
01:46:08,849 --> 01:46:11,842
I thought he needed
my money. But he didn't.
1178
01:46:12,687 --> 01:46:15,851
He wants to marry you. Marry.
1179
01:46:16,457 --> 01:46:21,088
You've been married before, Mrs. Wright.
How many times? Three, four?
1180
01:46:21,662 --> 01:46:25,861
And you've failed. And if
you fail now, what happens to Paul?
1181
01:46:26,334 --> 01:46:28,360
What about his work, his music?
1182
01:46:28,569 --> 01:46:32,870
He's put his whole life into it.
Do you know what that means to him?
1183
01:46:34,875 --> 01:46:37,674
You talk about love. What love?
1184
01:46:38,179 --> 01:46:41,513
You only make demands.
You only think of yourself.
1185
01:46:41,716 --> 01:46:43,241
You give nothing in return.
1186
01:46:43,684 --> 01:46:46,813
Leave him, Mrs. Wright.
Leave him alone.
1187
01:46:50,958 --> 01:46:54,486
- How old was he then?
- Eleven.
1188
01:47:09,710 --> 01:47:14,080
You know, every time I play a concert,
I feel those critical knives being sharpened.
1189
01:47:14,281 --> 01:47:15,909
And my scalp begins to tingle.
1190
01:47:16,117 --> 01:47:18,450
Say, did Sid tell you
about Helen and me?
1191
01:47:18,653 --> 01:47:21,145
- Yes, since you asked.
- She's getting a divorce.
1192
01:47:21,355 --> 01:47:24,257
Well, what do you think?
She's gonna marry me.
1193
01:47:25,526 --> 01:47:30,021
She'll add salt and pepper to your life.
She's quite a woman, if I'm any judge.
1194
01:47:30,898 --> 01:47:32,924
- Is she drinking?
- Not a drop.
1195
01:47:33,134 --> 01:47:35,626
Well, that's more than
I can say for myself.
1196
01:47:35,836 --> 01:47:38,772
- But then, I'm not in love.
- I know your type.
1197
01:47:38,973 --> 01:47:41,909
You believe in marriage
only as a last resort.
1198
01:47:42,376 --> 01:47:46,837
- How are you feeling this evening, sir?
- Complicated question. Haven't time for that.
1199
01:47:47,782 --> 01:47:50,911
- Helen's tickets are still at the box office.
- Are you sure?
1200
01:47:51,118 --> 01:47:54,555
She may be a little late.
It's a long drive down from the beach.
1201
01:47:54,755 --> 01:47:56,246
My mother?
1202
01:47:57,358 --> 01:47:58,917
The box is empty.
1203
01:47:59,393 --> 01:48:00,725
Thanks.
1204
01:48:07,702 --> 01:48:09,170
Hello.
1205
01:48:09,370 --> 01:48:12,135
Just a moment. It's Helen.
1206
01:48:15,009 --> 01:48:18,537
Helen. Helen, where are you?
Why aren't you here?
1207
01:48:18,746 --> 01:48:23,343
Always the same thing. I have enough
to think about without trying to figure out...
1208
01:48:23,551 --> 01:48:28,046
...where you are and what you're doing?
Don't you realize I have a concert to play?
1209
01:48:28,255 --> 01:48:32,317
Do you wanna ruin my concert, ruin
my career, ruin everything, is that what?
1210
01:48:32,526 --> 01:48:34,256
Where are you?
What are you doing?
1211
01:48:34,462 --> 01:48:36,454
- Are you drinking?
- No.
1212
01:48:36,664 --> 01:48:38,997
No, I'm not drinking, really I'm not.
1213
01:48:39,633 --> 01:48:41,397
But I swear it, darling.
1214
01:48:41,602 --> 01:48:46,404
Please believe me, and don't scold.
I don't wanna be scolded anymore.
1215
01:48:46,607 --> 01:48:50,169
Yes. I should've called you.
I meant to come, up to the last minute.
1216
01:48:50,377 --> 01:48:53,506
I was all dressed and ready,
as a matter of fact-- What?
1217
01:48:53,714 --> 01:48:56,047
But, Paul, it's so quiet here.
1218
01:48:56,250 --> 01:48:59,584
It's such a long drive and then
there will be so many people.
1219
01:49:00,788 --> 01:49:03,417
Please try and understand.
Don't make me explain.
1220
01:49:03,624 --> 01:49:08,460
It isn't as if I'll miss the concert. I won't.
The radio's on now. Can you hear it?
1221
01:49:09,196 --> 01:49:10,858
Paul?
1222
01:49:11,065 --> 01:49:14,729
You're still angry, aren't you?
Oh, yes, you are. I can tell.
1223
01:49:16,437 --> 01:49:18,338
Don't, Paul. Don't.
1224
01:49:18,539 --> 01:49:21,805
But of course I want it
to go well. You know that.
1225
01:49:22,009 --> 01:49:27,312
Oh, listen to me. Listen. Darling,
I'm sorry. I don't mean to worry you.
1226
01:49:27,515 --> 01:49:30,349
You mustn't worry
because everything's all right.
1227
01:49:30,551 --> 01:49:33,885
It's just that it's so quiet here.
1228
01:49:35,156 --> 01:49:38,251
The rest and quiet are doing
me a world of good.
1229
01:49:39,193 --> 01:49:43,460
It's so beautiful and peaceful.
There isn't a soul on the beach.
1230
01:49:43,664 --> 01:49:45,895
I can see the sky in the water.
1231
01:49:46,801 --> 01:49:49,862
There's a smudge of smoke
out there almost at the horizon.
1232
01:49:50,070 --> 01:49:52,904
It must be a boat, far, far out.
1233
01:49:53,274 --> 01:49:56,904
Paul, I wish we were onboard that boat.
1234
01:49:57,478 --> 01:50:01,210
So far out that we couldn't
see anything but sky and water.
1235
01:50:01,615 --> 01:50:03,516
Nothing more.
1236
01:50:05,085 --> 01:50:06,485
What?
1237
01:50:08,689 --> 01:50:10,658
You didn't hear?
1238
01:50:12,993 --> 01:50:14,291
No.
1239
01:50:15,296 --> 01:50:17,856
No, it wasn't important.
Really, it wasn't.
1240
01:50:20,601 --> 01:50:22,194
Yes. Yes.
1241
01:50:23,237 --> 01:50:27,072
No, he's gone. I told him he could go.
There's no one here. I'm all alone.
1242
01:50:27,274 --> 01:50:30,005
But of course I'm all right.
There's nothing wrong.
1243
01:50:31,078 --> 01:50:35,072
I'll tell you what. Come down tomorrow
and we'll drive back to town together.
1244
01:50:35,316 --> 01:50:37,808
What? Tonight?
1245
01:50:38,519 --> 01:50:41,011
All right, darling. Tonight if you want.
1246
01:50:41,222 --> 01:50:43,020
Oh, yes, I'll wait.
1247
01:50:44,391 --> 01:50:47,259
Paul? Paul, hello?
1248
01:50:50,698 --> 01:50:54,430
It's nothing. I just thought
you'd hung up, that's all.
1249
01:50:54,635 --> 01:50:56,069
Who?
1250
01:50:57,404 --> 01:51:01,171
Well, you go ahead. Of course
I understand. And good luck, darling.
1251
01:51:01,809 --> 01:51:03,243
Paul.
1252
01:51:07,748 --> 01:51:09,376
I love you.
1253
01:51:27,034 --> 01:51:30,766
This is Robert Corten again, talking
to you from Symphony Hall.
1254
01:51:31,338 --> 01:51:35,275
We now come to our guest soloist
for this evening, Mr. Paul Boray.
1255
01:51:35,976 --> 01:51:40,471
Mr. Boray is making his entrance onstage,
followed by Mr. Sidney Jeffers.
1256
01:51:40,681 --> 01:51:45,642
Mr. Boray will play his own transcription
of music from Richard Wagner's opera...
1257
01:51:45,853 --> 01:51:47,879
...Tristan and Isolde.
1258
01:51:49,056 --> 01:51:50,820
The houselights are lowered.
1259
01:51:51,659 --> 01:51:53,821
Here's to love.
1260
01:51:56,630 --> 01:51:59,532
And here's to the time
when we were little girls...
1261
01:51:59,733 --> 01:52:02,134
...no one asks to marry.
1262
01:55:05,786 --> 01:55:10,349
You know yourself better than anyone
else, Helen. Can you change now?
1263
01:55:10,557 --> 01:55:13,994
And if you don't,
do you really believe he'll change?
1264
01:55:14,595 --> 01:55:17,190
He doesn't know
what it means to be soft.
1265
01:55:17,397 --> 01:55:20,526
Nothing means anything
to him but his music.
1266
01:55:52,099 --> 01:55:55,365
Can't you realize I have a concert
to play tonight?
1267
01:55:55,569 --> 01:55:59,870
Do you wanna ruin my concert, ruin
my career, ruin everything, is that what?
1268
02:02:18,385 --> 02:02:21,822
Why don't we go home.
There's nothing we can do here.
1269
02:02:26,493 --> 02:02:27,859
I....
1270
02:02:28,895 --> 02:02:30,727
I need a shave.
1271
02:02:31,898 --> 02:02:34,834
Having to shave every day. It's silly.
1272
02:02:36,136 --> 02:02:39,129
Shave every day. Why?
1273
02:02:39,339 --> 02:02:41,774
Why do I have to shave every day?
1274
02:02:52,485 --> 02:02:55,614
She once asked me
what it was like to live up here.
1275
02:02:55,822 --> 02:02:57,814
The Boray point of view.
1276
02:03:01,428 --> 02:03:02,896
It's lonely.
1277
02:03:04,064 --> 02:03:06,295
It all seemed so simple once.
1278
02:03:06,533 --> 02:03:10,834
Live your life, do your work,
as simple as all that.
1279
02:03:11,571 --> 02:03:13,836
You find out it's not that easy.
1280
02:03:14,541 --> 02:03:16,407
Nothing comes free.
1281
02:03:17,177 --> 02:03:20,944
One way or another,
you pay for what you are.
1282
02:03:21,147 --> 02:03:22,581
Yeah.
1283
02:03:32,759 --> 02:03:36,127
Tell Bauer not to worry.
1284
02:03:37,831 --> 02:03:40,391
I'm not running away.
