L... 151 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,960 - If you'll just come with me. - I beg your pardon. 152 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,320 Here are your trunks.

After all, acting's only common sense. 165 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,560 But that's all a good coach applies, is common sense. 166 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,760 If I don't get the right play soon, I may do a little coaching myself. 167 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,040 What is this, another boat docking? 168 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,760 Mrs. Orcutt told me to put this here. 169 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,040 But this is not the storeroom. 170 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,000 You'll like this room.

You shouldn't have told her. She isn't responsible for Kay's act. 1554 01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,040 She is responsible. It was Kay's part. It was Kay's life. 1555 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:35,000 But now it's too late. Kay is dead. 1556 01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,400 - Please. - Kay is dead. 1557 01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:39,280 Kay, who never harmed anyone. 1558 01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:41,960 It's all because she hasn't a heart, she's made out of ice. 1559 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,600 - I can't listen to you anymore. Leave. - I'm leaving. 1560 01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,160 I will sit out front because Kay asked me to be there. 1561 01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:48,720 And then every line she reads... 1562 01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:50,800 I'm gonna say that should have been Kay's line. 1563 01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,520 Every move you make, I'll say that should have been Kay. 1564 01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,840 Kay, who's lying in a morgue all broken and alone. 1565 01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:00,120 I dare you to go on tonight. 1566 01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,080 - I've got to get out of here. - You've got to go on. 1567 01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:09,880 Why didn't someone tell me? 1568 01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:13,680 I'd have given up a thousand parts rather than have this happen. 1569 01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:17,840 I'm not going to go on and I'm going to tell them why. 1570 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:19,920 You can't think only of yourself. 1571 01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,600 Kay is dead. You had nothing to do with that. 1572 01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,040 But there are 50 living people dependent on you. 1573 01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,880 This show may mean as much to them as it meant to Kay. 1574 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:31,440 The ushers, the property men, the old women who clean out the theater. 1575 01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:34,880 Each one has the right to demand that you give your best performance. 1576 01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,080 That's the tradition of the theater. 1577 01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:40,880 Hang the tradition of the theater. I'm thinking of Kay. 1578 01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:44,720 Very well, then, think of Kay. Are you going to let her down? 1579 01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,760 You've got to give the performance she wanted you to give. 1580 01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,640 Then perhaps, wherever she is, you may bring her peace. 1581 01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:52,360 Three minutes to curtain. 1582 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:56,960 - Miss Randall, three minutes to curtain. - All right.

It won't be long now. 1584 01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,080 Here she is now, coming up the garden path. 1585 01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,640 - What are we going to say to her? - I don't know. 1586 01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:37,080 The poor child. She's probably brokenearted. 1587 01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,080 You'd better let me talk to her first. 1588 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:51,120 Hello, Mother.
