00:00I still say, that was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
00:04Look, it was a good show, and that's all.
00:08Jack, why must you always be so jaded?
00:12You saw him cut her in half, didn't you? Weren't you even the least bit impressed?
00:16Sure I was impressed. By his staging. Look, the guy is no magician.
00:20He's just a hell of a technician. The mirrors, the lights.
00:24Probably a ringer in the audience. He had the whole thing set up beautifully.
00:28Yes, it was a trick. If it was all that easy, a light and a few mirrors,
00:32like you say, why hasn't anyone else done it before?
00:36How do you know someone hasn't? When's the last time you've seen a magician?
00:40You know, sometimes you make things sound as exciting as a shoelace factory.
00:44Hey, just think about those nets today. Six to four. That's my team.
00:48Everything except for sports, that is. You know, I'm really hurt by that.
00:52What kind of a relationship are we going to have
00:56if you don't take an interest in my work?
01:00Work? Look, I was raised in a house with four brothers, a tomboy sister,
01:04and a dad who bet on basketball games. The only reason why I left home
01:08was to get away from the game of the week. So, in a city full of interior decorators,
01:12you had a fond love of sports for everyone.
01:16That's your tough luck.
01:26What's that all about?
01:30I don't know. Maybe a holdup. Looks like someone got hurt.
01:34Wait a minute. I got an idea. Press, press.
01:38Let us through, please. Press, press. Officer, officer, let us through, please.
01:42Press, press.
01:50What happened?
01:54The hand of that dead person touched me.
02:24I think I'm going to be sick.
02:28You'll be all right. Listen, as soon as I get you to your apartment,
02:32I'll give you the emergency special. Half gin and half vermouth.
02:36You sprinkle the vermouth over a female toad, and we'll drink the gin.
02:40Let's go. Okay.
