1. It's always better on the piano,
I don't know why.
Copy !req
2. So to...
Copy !req
3. answer your question, yes,
I carry her around with me quite a bit.
Copy !req
4. I've often seen her in the garden working.
Copy !req
5. Julia Vega swears that she's at
the top of the stairs every morning
Copy !req
6. when she comes down to do the laundry,
Copy !req
7. making sure she's separating
the whites and the darks.
Copy !req
8. And our children are very jealous
because they've never seen her.
Copy !req
9. I... I...
Copy !req
10. I miss her terribly.
Copy !req
11. Hello?
Copy !req
12. Yes.
Copy !req
13. Of course.
Copy !req
14. Yes, I'm aware.
Copy !req
15. Oh.
Copy !req
16. Can you hold on one second, please?
Copy !req
17. That's terrible news. Is he gonna be okay?
Copy !req
18. No, I understand.
Copy !req
19. And no chance for a rehearsal?
Copy !req
20. Yes.
Copy !req
21. All right.
Copy !req
22. May I get three tickets for today?
Copy !req
23. Yes.
Copy !req
24. All right.
Copy !req
25. All right, yes, thank you.
Copy !req
26. You got 'em, boy!
Copy !req
27. - Leonard, bellissimo.
- Oh, yes.
Copy !req
28. Did you get any sleep?
Copy !req
29. No, I didn't get any sleep, Bruno.
"Manfred" starts on the downbeat rest,
Copy !req
30. and you didn't get me any rehearsal
with the orchestra.
Copy !req
31. I told you you were going on.
Copy !req
32. No, you told me it was a possibility.
Copy !req
33. Good afternoon.
Copy !req
34. United States Rubber Company
again invites you to Carnegie Hall,
Copy !req
35. to hear a concert of the New York
Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra
Copy !req
36. of which Artur Rodziński is
musical director.
Copy !req
37. Bruno Walter, who was to have conducted
this afternoon, is ill,
Copy !req
38. and his place will be taken by the young
American-born assistant conductor
Copy !req
39. of the Philharmonic Symphony,
Leonard Bernstein.
Copy !req
40. Today, you were here
for an historic performance.
Copy !req
41. This performance that was fantastic
was broadcast all over the world.
Copy !req
42. And I feel obliged to say
that Maestro Bernstein
Copy !req
43. was called this morning at 9:30
Copy !req
44. and he was told that
he would actually conduct here
Copy !req
45. - for the first time after many years—
- Without rehearsal.
Copy !req
46. - Without rehearsal.
Copy !req
47. But he loves the music,
he doesn't need rehearsal,
Copy !req
48. he feels it so much.
Copy !req
49. And after many years,
he really wanted this,
Copy !req
50. it has happened and I'm so proud.
Copy !req
51. Carnegie Hall is so proud of you
and New York is proud of you.
Copy !req
52. Leonard Bernstein.
Copy !req
53. - Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Copy !req
54. I'll tell you fellas, I don't remember
a thing after that downbeat rest.
Copy !req
55. I must've blacked out and then
when the audience applauded I came to.
Copy !req
56. Don't let this get in the way.
We're on a roll here, baby.
Copy !req
57. I wanna choreograph the segment
with the dancers while in Cincinnati.
Copy !req
58. Jerry, I'm in love with the music.
I told you.
Copy !req
59. As soon as I have something,
I'll record and send it to you.
Copy !req
60. This the new ballet he's composing?
Copy !req
61. About three sailors on leave in New York
getting up to no good?
Copy !req
62. - That's the one.
- Don't argue with him.
Copy !req
63. He's a young man to be reckoned with.
You can read it here.
Copy !req
64. - David, please.
- "Bernstein shows mastery of score."
Copy !req
65. "Youthful conductor carries out
an exacting program—"
Copy !req
66. Sure, right next to Hitler's bombing
of Poland.
Copy !req
67. - Come on in, it's open.
Copy !req
68. - Sorry, gentlemen—
- No, no, he likes leaving the door open.
Copy !req
69. Hey, Isaac, you know David
and that's Jerry Robbins.
Copy !req
70. - Hi.
- Hello. We've got to get downstairs.
Copy !req
71. - You're an hour late—
- I'm just working on the score—
Copy !req
72. - Rodziński's coming early—
- Rodziński's here?
Copy !req
73. - Okay, I'll be down in a second.
- Isaac.
Copy !req
74. Don't forget your show pony here
is a composer.
Copy !req
75. I'm learning not to do it so hard, right?
Copy !req
76. - It's perfect.
- I always get so...
Copy !req
77. overzealous.
Copy !req
78. - I get too excited.
- Right.
Copy !req
79. Both your feet in my lap.
I don't know what to do with it.
Copy !req
80. I don't know what to do with myself.
It's just too much.
Copy !req
81. - I think—
- It's too much for one man.
Copy !req
82. - Because it was on the liver spot?
- No.
Copy !req
83. It's too much for one man to take.
Honestly, David.
Copy !req
84. I mean, I'll never leave the apartment.
Copy !req
85. - That's the reality.
- Please don't.
Copy !req
86. Dear Jerry,
Copy !req
87. this is an impromptu apology
for the record
Copy !req
88. which isn't so very bad,
but it's not so very good either.
Copy !req
89. I'm looking through the score now, exhausted,
Copy !req
90. and everything's okay up to number three
Copy !req
91. when all the counterpoint comes in
with the two pianos.
Copy !req
92. I'm afraid it's sort of messy there.
Copy !req
93. Anyway, it's hard to do on two pianos,
Copy !req
94. so with an orchestra,
I think it'll be very clear.
Copy !req
95. And pardon all the mistakes.
Copy !req
96. But it was all Aaron Copland's fault.
Copy !req
97. - It was all my fault.
- And there he sits now.
Copy !req
98. - That's not true.
- Anyway...
Copy !req
99. I'll leave it to you to figure out,
Mr. Robbins,
Copy !req
100. how to dance to this type of music, but,
Copy !req
101. give my love to everybody
and the thing, and, uh...
Copy !req
102. I hope you like it. Good luck, Jerry.
Copy !req
103. All right, got to get to rehearsal.
Copy !req
104. - I got it.
- You do?
Copy !req
105. - Yeah.
- You're such a chap.
Copy !req
106. It's downstairs and
you're still going to be late.
Copy !req
107. Put in a word for me with Rodziński.
Copy !req
108. I will. I'm not his favorite, but I will.
Copy !req
109. - Love you, baby.
- Love you.
Copy !req
110. Brilliant, but... but what no one here knows
Copy !req
111. is how he beat the soprano
out of his poor baby sister
Copy !req
112. performing all those operas
when we were children.
Copy !req
113. Let that be fair warning to you
and to everyone.
Copy !req
114. Hello.
Copy !req
115. Thought you might be here.
You've certainly been making the rounds.
Copy !req
116. Have you met the gang?
Copy !req
117. - No.
- Betty and Adolf, they're a riot.
Copy !req
118. - Hello.
- Hello.
Copy !req
119. Ellen. Of course, you've run into her
at another studio, no doubt.
Copy !req
120. Hello, Felicia.
Copy !req
121. Who did I miss? Have I missed anyone?
Copy !req
122. Just the piano player.
Copy !req
123. Well, I figured
you needed no introduction.
Copy !req
124. - Hello. I'm Lenny.
- Hello. Felicia.
Copy !req
125. Bernstein, like that one.
Copy !req
126. Montealegre.
Copy !req
127. Montealegre?
Copy !req
128. - Montealegre Cohn.
- Cohn?
Copy !req
129. Montealegre Cohn.
Copy !req
130. Well, that's an interesting
marriage of words.
Copy !req
131. You come from an aristocratic
European family on your mother's side,
Copy !req
132. and your father is American
and he's Jewish
Copy !req
133. and you moved to Chile because—
Copy !req
134. - It's amazing, I remember all this.
- I know.
Copy !req
135. I don't know how.
Copy !req
136. You moved to Chile
because of your father's business.
Copy !req
137. And now you're firmly planted
in New York City studying...
Copy !req
138. piano, but you're
actually studying acting.
Copy !req
139. A career which demands the versatility
to play a panoply of characters.
Copy !req
140. And that is my conclusion,
Copy !req
141. that you, my dear, are very similar to me.
Copy !req
142. - How?
- Because you had to take
Copy !req
143. all the pieces, all the bits of you
scattered across these varied landscapes
Copy !req
144. and form, create the veritable person
that stands before me now.
Copy !req
145. How is that similar?
Copy !req
146. - You just asked me and I told you.
- I know. Okay.
Copy !req
147. Russian Orthodox Jew.
Copy !req
148. - Growing up in Boston.
- Oh, someone else was listening.
Copy !req
149. - Child of immigrants.
- Yes.
Copy !req
150. Your father's a self-made businessman.
Copy !req
151. Steeped in Talmud. Harvard.
Copy !req
152. - Then Curtis School for Music—
- Institute.
Copy !req
153. Institute of Music in Philadelphia.
Copy !req
154. Now firmly planted here in New York City
pursuing composition and conducting.
Copy !req
155. Under the guise of a concert pianist
drawn to this artistic Mecca,
Copy !req
156. fleeing my puritanical origins
just like you.
Copy !req
157. Surely your family was
a tad more supportive.
Copy !req
158. My father imagined me a klezmer,
playing for kopecks on the street corner,
Copy !req
159. desperate for me to join
the family business to make a living.
Copy !req
160. What was the family business?
Copy !req
161. - Samuel J. Bernstein Hair Company.
Copy !req
162. - Really?
- Yes.
Copy !req
163. So I had no choice
but to become a composite of
Copy !req
164. adopted speech,
manner and outlook on life,
Copy !req
165. a composite, which enables me to be
many things at once.
Copy !req
166. And that's why, we, you and I,
are able to endure and survive
Copy !req
167. 'cause the world wants us to be
only one thing and I find that deplorable.
Copy !req
168. I find you very attractive, Felicia.
Copy !req
169. It's really too much. I'm very sorry.
Copy !req
170. Wait! Wait!
Copy !req
171. Go! Go! Go!
Copy !req
172. Oh, I like that.
Copy !req
173. You've a lot of energy,
have to tell you.
Copy !req
174. I'm just following you.
I don't know where.
Copy !req
175. I've never been in this part of town.
Copy !req
176. I can't imagine you
being in a place like this.
Copy !req
177. - Now, you go in here.
- Okay.
Copy !req
178. - Just on the stage— Take your shoes off.
- Oh.
Copy !req
179. Okay. Where do I put them?
Copy !req
180. Over on the other side.
Copy !req
181. - Where are you going?
- I'm just getting the script.
Copy !req
182. - The script?
- Yes.
Copy !req
183. - Would I have to act too?
- What?
Copy !req
184. - Do I have to do something?
- Well... maybe.
Copy !req
185. Now I'm nervous.
Copy !req
186. You should be nervous.
Copy !req
187. Well, this is just lovely.
Copy !req
188. This is just lovely.
Copy !req
189. I'm going to read a scene
with Maestro Bernstein.
Copy !req
190. I better make a show of myself.
Copy !req
191. Maestro Bernstein?
That sounds very fancy.
Copy !req
192. - Here.
- Okay. We're gonna read it.
Copy !req
193. - We're actually gonna do it.
- Yes.
Copy !req
194. - I'm the king?
- You're the king, and this is your castle.
Copy !req
195. Oh, wonderful.
Copy !req
196. Now, even though you are the king,
Copy !req
197. - you're quite taken with me.
- Yes.
Copy !req
198. So, you decided to give me a white rose
from your crown.
Copy !req
199. Of course I did.
Copy !req
200. No, you don't have it yet.
I have to give it to you.
Copy !req
201. - Here's your flower.
- I didn't read the play.
Copy !req
202. - I know.
- Hold on.
Copy !req
203. Can you hold this for me, please?
All right.
Copy !req
204. Since I'm the king...
Copy !req
205. who's in love.
Copy !req
206. A gift for me, my liege?
Copy !req
207. Oh, that's very good.
Copy !req
208. - It's your line.
- Oh, uh...
Copy !req
209. "With your little spots of wax,
white rose,
Copy !req
210. you look like the extravagantly hands
her the flower—"
Copy !req
211. No, no, no.
Copy !req
212. "You look like the eye...
Copy !req
213. of a broken moon."
Copy !req
214. You are terrible.
Copy !req
215. What's your line?
Copy !req
216. "You're always changing, my love."
Copy !req
217. "I didn't see you yesterday."
Copy !req
218. "But I looked at your horse."
Copy !req
219. "It's so beautiful."
Copy !req
220. "But not as beautiful as you are...
Copy !req
221. because you are a dragon."
Copy !req
222. "I believe you could
break me in two with your arms,
Copy !req
223. as weak as I am...
Copy !req
224. like frost
Copy !req
225. burned in the sun."
Copy !req
226. That's a bit better,
isn't it, Ms. Montealegre?
Copy !req
227. Little more light?
Copy !req
228. - Why, thank you, Joseph.
- Oh, Joseph, I apologize.
Copy !req
229. I got nervous. I thought it was a spider
and I tried to kill it with my jacket.
Copy !req
230. Give the stage door a shove
on your way out. It'll lock on its own.
Copy !req
231. Thank you, Joseph.
Copy !req
232. Good night. Marvelous.
Thank you, Joseph.
Copy !req
233. You didn't tell me
your father owns this place.
Copy !req
234. Is this how you lure in
all your male suitors?
Copy !req
235. No, I... I rarely stay up past 9:00.
Copy !req
236. Hold on a sec.
You made an exception for me?
Copy !req
237. I thought maybe you were worth
making an exception for.
Copy !req
238. Oh, well,
I hope it doesn't cost you too much.
Copy !req
239. How can I make it worth your while?
Oh, I've got it.
Copy !req
240. - Something's wrong.
- What?
Copy !req
241. - What's your character's name?
- Um...
Copy !req
242. - Margaret.
- Margaret.
Copy !req
243. - Margaret.
- Yes.
Copy !req
244. - And you're the understudy?
- Yes.
Copy !req
245. I think you should be Margaret
eight shows a week.
Copy !req
246. Front and center.
Copy !req
247. - If it's fear that's stopping you—
- There are many things stopping me
Copy !req
248. but fear isn't one of them.
Copy !req
249. I wouldn't be standing here
in front of you...
Copy !req
250. I wouldn't even be in New York City
if fear got the better of me.
Copy !req
251. It's just not that easy.
Copy !req
252. We'd be fools not to think that
Copy !req
253. luck plays a part
as well as talent and determination.
Copy !req
254. - I'm a perfect example of that.
- Oh, you must be joking.
Copy !req
255. If Bruno Walter hadn't
gotten sick that fateful day
Copy !req
256. and Rodziński snowed in upstate,
I never would've had my debut.
Copy !req
257. I'd be teaching piano
to little eight-year-olds who complain—
Copy !req
258. If it wasn't that day,
it would've been another.
Copy !req
259. - Is that what you think?
- Yes, I know it.
Copy !req
260. - Really?
- Of course.
Copy !req
261. And don't forget... you are a man.
Copy !req
262. I never do.
Copy !req
263. Right.
Copy !req
264. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
265. Bravo!
Copy !req
266. You were marvelous.
Copy !req
267. Oh, my goodness.
Shirley, it was very kind of you to come.
Copy !req
268. - I brought Richard Hart and his wife, Lil.
- No.
Copy !req
269. Dick is rehearsing
his new Broadway show with Eva Gabor
Copy !req
270. and he is not long for this marriage
and, well, I think he is your type.
Copy !req
271. - What type is that?
- Same as mine,
Copy !req
272. unavailable.
Copy !req
273. Marvelous.
Copy !req
274. Ah, ah...
Copy !req
275. It's so kind of you to come.
Copy !req
276. I just love Dark of the Moon.
Copy !req
277. Oh, stop. You're marvelous.
Copy !req
278. The production is better
for you being in it.
Copy !req
279. It's only for the week,
but that's kind of you to say.
Copy !req
280. If they had any sense,
they'll tell Ms. Jones to stay in bed.
Copy !req
281. You really are wonderful.
Copy !req
282. - Dear.
- Thank you, it's so kind of you to come.
Copy !req
283. - My pleasure.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
284. - Come have a bite with us.
- Oh, I, uh...
Copy !req
285. I can't, I'm catching the train
to Tanglewood in the morning.
Copy !req
286. - Tanglewood?
- Mmm.
Copy !req
287. You're going to see my brother.
Copy !req
288. - Well, don't look so surprised.
- I'm not... I just...
Copy !req
289. He didn't mention it.
Copy !req
290. Well...
Copy !req
291. - Perhaps he was being discreet?
- My brother?
Copy !req
292. I doubt it.
Copy !req
293. - No, try again.
- Oh, gee, it's six.
Copy !req
294. - No!
- Eight.
Copy !req
295. - Terrible.
- It's four...
Copy !req
296. - No.
- Three.
Copy !req
297. Well, it has to be seven then.
Copy !req
298. Can you try to just concentrate?
Copy !req
299. Maybe I should stop
and think for a second.
Copy !req
300. You just stop and think
'cause I am sending it to you
Copy !req
301. right now.
Copy !req
302. - Twenty.
- No.
Copy !req
303. No.
Copy !req
304. So, how long do we have to do this for?
Copy !req
305. Well, we need to build up
a very strong connection.
Copy !req
306. - I can't. I don't know what you're doing.
- Hmm?
Copy !req
307. You could be building
a bomb back there for all I know.
Copy !req
308. No.
Copy !req
309. - I'm just very terribly relaxed.
- Blow the whole place up.
Copy !req
310. Aren't you?
Copy !req
311. - Yes, I am.
- Are you?
Copy !req
312. Yes.
Copy !req
313. I've never seen you sit still for so long.
Copy !req
314. - Are you itching to move?
- No, I'm not.
Copy !req
315. - Good.
- Actually, at all.
Copy !req
316. Come here, I'll do it.
Copy !req
317. My goodness.
Copy !req
318. - I'm useless, aren't I?
- You are.
Copy !req
319. Where am I going?
Copy !req
320. - Here, stand there. Not this one.
- Okay.
Copy !req
321. - Not.
- Oh, why not?
Copy !req
322. Well... a bit garish maybe?
Copy !req
323. Doesn't look bumbling so much.
Copy !req
324. I like this.
Copy !req
325. I love your smell.
Copy !req
326. - You do?
- I do.
Copy !req
327. It's my father.
Copy !req
328. Isn't that odd?
Copy !req
329. I used to just love...
Copy !req
330. wrapping myself up
Copy !req
331. in his trench coat,
Copy !req
332. when he would walk in the door
at night from work...
Copy !req
333. That smell would intoxicate me.
Copy !req
334. I always associated it with feeling safe.
Copy !req
335. She's so beautiful.
Tell me about her.
Copy !req
336. - She's wonderful. She's a lovely girl.
- Yes.
Copy !req
337. - And we're just—
- Where did you meet?
Copy !req
338. - We met at a party at Claudio Arrau's.
- Ah.
Copy !req
339. So, Felicia, are you an actress?
Copy !req
340. - Marvelous actress, yes.
- No, I am.
Copy !req
341. - Of course you are.
- No, I am.
Copy !req
342. Unbelievably, I am.
Copy !req
343. - He is not.
- No, horrible.
Copy !req
344. - No, I am.
- Screen tested once in LA
Copy !req
345. - and it was horrible.
- Terrible actor.
Copy !req
346. They sent me to Hollywood
and put me on camera
Copy !req
347. and said, "Thank you, here's a one-way
ticket back to New York City."
Copy !req
348. - Oh, no.
- "Oh, no" is right.
Copy !req
349. He was a student here
at our inaugural summer and now...
Copy !req
350. he's everyone's favorite teacher
Copy !req
351. and you can't even get into the shed
when he's conducting the student orchestra
Copy !req
352. because it's so full.
Copy !req
353. - It's only because I love them so much.
- And they love you.
Copy !req
354. Tell me what happened
with the Rochester Philharmonic.
Copy !req
355. - Oh, they passed me over.
- Yes, I know.
Copy !req
356. They thought I was spending
too much time with you in Boston.
Copy !req
357. - Is that the reason?
- I believe it was.
Copy !req
358. We should really discuss
"Our Town" if you have...
Copy !req
359. Running off to Hollywood?
Copy !req
360. - Wasting time on musical theater...
- I promise,
Copy !req
361. I'm giving up musical theater.
Copy !req
362. Lenny, you are responsible
on account of your gifts.
Copy !req
363. He can be
the first great American conductor.
Copy !req
364. But he would have to conduct his life
Copy !req
365. in such a way that when he comes out
on stage to lead his orchestra,
Copy !req
366. he can truthfully say to himself,
"My life and my work are clean."
Copy !req
367. And the name...
Copy !req
368. To a Bernstein,
they will never give an orchestra.
Copy !req
369. But a Burns?
Copy !req
370. Leonard S. Burns.
Copy !req
371. - I'd have to sleep on that.
- I used to entertain people
Copy !req
372. on the train
going back and forth to Moscow.
Copy !req
373. And upon every arrival,
I had to return straightaway
Copy !req
374. because, of course,
as Jews, we weren't allowed to live there.
Copy !req
375. I never saw the city.
Copy !req
376. Not once.
Copy !req
377. But I got to play.
Copy !req
378. I want to see them.
Copy !req
379. See what?
Copy !req
380. All the things
Maestro Koussevitsky wants you to give up.
Copy !req
381. All the music you've made.
Copy !req
382. - You do? We can't just leave.
- Yes.
Copy !req
383. Oh, yes, we can.
Copy !req
384. Unbelievable.
Copy !req
385. Why would you ever want to give this up?
Copy !req
386. - It's so wonderful.
- It's not serious music, is it?
Copy !req
387. Well, what does that mean?
Copy !req
388. Well, it means...
Copy !req
389. he thinks I could be
the first great American conductor.
Copy !req
390. Is that what you want?
Copy !req
391. I want a lot of things.
Copy !req
392. How do you feel?
Copy !req
393. I think it's better.
Copy !req
394. - Is it okay if I put my head like this?
Copy !req
395. - It's terribly embarrassing.
- No.
Copy !req
396. - No.
- It's as if I don't—
Copy !req
397. If I just don't breathe, I'll be fine.
Copy !req
398. Just... No.
Copy !req
399. - It happens every time.
- Every time what?
Copy !req
400. - What do you mean?
- Every time I go to bed
Copy !req
401. - that I'm not used to.
- Oh, I see.
Copy !req
402. - Well, you implied.
- Well, I don't know what you meant.
Copy !req
403. - I was just...
- Oh, goodness.
Copy !req
404. - It's the lower spine...
- Do you take any pills or anything?
Copy !req
405. - I take plenty of pills.
- No, I mean, sure you do,
Copy !req
406. but, I mean, specifically for this.
Copy !req
407. - Oh, dear. I'm sorry.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
408. You poor thing.
Copy !req
409. - That's much better, being on the floor.
- Yes.
Copy !req
410. Much better. Thank you. It's a great idea.
Copy !req
411. You set it all up with the pillows.
Copy !req
412. - You really do take care of me.
- I wanted to make you comfortable.
Copy !req
413. I have a game we can play.
Envy and Secrets.
Copy !req
414. - You know that game?
- No.
Copy !req
415. We both tell each other a secret,
then we tell each other something
Copy !req
416. that we're envious of
and then we become closer.
Copy !req
417. But I feel pretty close already.
Copy !req
418. You certainly seem closer
than 20 minutes ago.
Copy !req
419. - Okay.
- I saw different sides of you
Copy !req
420. - that I've only sort of dreamt about.
- Oh, goodness.
Copy !req
421. Okay.
Copy !req
422. You go first.
Copy !req
423. Do you wanna say
something you're envious of
Copy !req
424. or something that's a secret?
Copy !req
425. Tell me a secret.
Copy !req
426. - Oh, I'm gonna tell you a secret?
- Yes.
Copy !req
427. - Did I just ash on you...
- No.
Copy !req
428. Okay.
Copy !req
429. Well, when I was a boy...
Copy !req
430. Mmm.
Copy !req
431. I used to have dreams
where I would kill my father.
Copy !req
432. And the thing of it is, I would wake up
from the dream and I'd sit in bed...
Copy !req
433. and I would just fantasize about it...
Copy !req
434. 'cause he was so cruel.
Copy !req
435. Sometimes I just can't...
Copy !req
436. Can't seem to find myself.
Copy !req
437. Well...
Copy !req
438. I agree, by the way.
Copy !req
439. - About what?
- About the name.
Copy !req
440. Felicia Burns.
Copy !req
441. It has absolutely no luster.
Copy !req
442. I mean, it just sounds wrong.
Copy !req
443. - Well, your sound soothes me... God.
- Does it?
Copy !req
444. I actually envy the air
that gets to funnel its way through you.
Copy !req
445. Out of my mouth, I hope.
Copy !req
446. - Well, any which way, actually.
- No.
Copy !req
447. I never thought of it like that.
Copy !req
448. But it would definitely be some
Copy !req
449. tonal pitch variations
if it came out the other end, wouldn't it?
Copy !req
450. Just as pleasing, I assume.
Copy !req
451. - Am I shaking?
- You're disgusting. Yes.
Copy !req
452. Those eyes...
Copy !req
453. You don't even know
how much you need me, do you?
Copy !req
454. I might.
Copy !req
455. Sweetie, that was
better than Philadelphia.
Copy !req
456. - Really?
- It took everything from me
Copy !req
457. - not to leap right into the orchestra.
- You're too kind.
Copy !req
458. Did I tell you about the girl?
The girl that I wrote letters... Felicia.
Copy !req
459. - The one I wrote about.
- Yes, yes.
Copy !req
460. This is David and he plays the clarinet.
What else does he—
Copy !req
461. - I play the clarinet.
- I can see.
Copy !req
462. - And he's extraordinary.
- Yes.
Copy !req
463. Oh, well, I was listening,
you were wonderful.
Copy !req
464. You as well. Broadway star.
Copy !req
465. Oh, no.
Copy !req
466. We're gonna have lunch
with Kouss, otherwise we'd...
Copy !req
467. What about later?
Have a drink or something?
Copy !req
468. I would love that, yeah.
Copy !req
469. - I didn't mean to spring that on you.
- No, that's all right.
Copy !req
470. - Maybe that was insensitive of me.
- No.
Copy !req
471. Not at all.
Copy !req
472. - So, we'll see you later on.
- Yes.
Copy !req
473. Okay, let's go. Come on.
Come on, little birdy!
Copy !req
474. - Lovely to meet you.
- Lovely to meet you.
Copy !req
475. Oh, life is not that serious.
Honest, it isn't.
Copy !req
476. What age are we living in?
One can be as free as one likes
Copy !req
477. without guilt or confession.
Please, what's the harm?
Copy !req
478. I know exactly who you are.
Copy !req
479. Let's...
Copy !req
480. give it a whirl.
Copy !req
481. - Yes.
- Yes?
Copy !req
482. - I mean—
- No!
Copy !req
483. - Not here.
- No, not here.
Copy !req
484. No, it's not how I meant it to be.
Copy !req
485. Leonard Bernstein is
a composer, conductor and pianist.
Copy !req
486. His wife, Felicia Montealegre,
is an actress.
Copy !req
487. Both lead full, professional lives,
but they're seldom apart.
Copy !req
488. Mr. Bernstein is 37 years old
Copy !req
489. but he has been in the public eye
for a dozen years.
Copy !req
490. From the time
he substituted for Bruno Walter
Copy !req
491. to conduct the Philharmonic Symphony
at the age of 25,
Copy !req
492. since then, Leonard Bernstein has
conducted or played all over the world.
Copy !req
493. And he's written
symphonies, ballets, and opera,
Copy !req
494. as well as scores
for the Broadway musical Wonderful Town
Copy !req
495. and the motion picture On the Waterfront.
Copy !req
496. Felicia Montealegre came to Broadway
and American television
Copy !req
497. from Santiago, Chile.
Copy !req
498. She was one of television's first
full-fledged dramatic stars.
Copy !req
499. The Bernsteins, Leonard, Felicia
and their children,
Copy !req
500. Jamie and two-months-old Alexander,
Copy !req
501. live in New York City
near Carnegie Hall and Broadway.
Copy !req
502. They've been here for about three years.
Copy !req
503. Good evening, Felicia.
Copy !req
504. - Hello, Ed.
- Good evening, Lenny.
Copy !req
505. - How are you, Ed?
- Good.
Copy !req
506. Lenny, it's always, for me,
Copy !req
507. rather difficult
to classify you professionally
Copy !req
508. since you do so many things
at the same time.
Copy !req
509. What do you consider
your primary occupation?
Copy !req
510. I guess I'd have to say that
my primary occupation is musician.
Copy !req
511. Anything that has to
do with music is my province,
Copy !req
512. wouldn't you say?
Whether it's composing it
Copy !req
513. or conducting it, or teaching it,
or studying it, or playing it.
Copy !req
514. As long as it's music,
I like it and I do it.
Copy !req
515. Felicia, do you have trouble
keeping up with Lenny's activities?
Copy !req
516. It gets pretty hard.
He's taken on many activities.
Copy !req
517. This season promises to be
a very hectic one.
Copy !req
518. Among them,
he's writing two musical shows.
Copy !req
519. One of them is an adaptation,
Copy !req
520. Romeo and Juliet,
that's West Side Story
Copy !req
521. with Jerry Robbins and Arthur Laurents
Copy !req
522. and wonderfully-talented young lyricist
Stevie Sondheim.
Copy !req
523. And then he's doing
four feature presentations
Copy !req
524. in Omnibus,
the CBS television program.
Copy !req
525. And, um...
Copy !req
526. - Was that right?
- You know my schedule better than I do.
Copy !req
527. Felicia, what about you?
Copy !req
528. Are you engaged in other things
besides acting?
Copy !req
529. Well, it gets pretty hard to do much more
than take care of this household.
Copy !req
530. My husband, the children, and acting takes
the rest of the time that's left over.
Copy !req
531. - And memorizing my projects.
- Well...
Copy !req
532. I can't help that.
Copy !req
533. Lenny, what's the big difference
in the life
Copy !req
534. of Composer Bernstein
and Conductor Bernstein?
Copy !req
535. Well, I sup...
Copy !req
536. I suppose it's a difference. It's...
Copy !req
537. a personality difference
which occurs between any composer
Copy !req
538. versus any...
or any creator versus any performer.
Copy !req
539. Any performer, whether it's
Copy !req
540. Toscanini or Tallulah Bankhead,
whoever it is,
Copy !req
541. leads a kind of public life.
Copy !req
542. An extrovert life, if you will.
Copy !req
543. It's an oversimplified word,
but something like that.
Copy !req
544. Whereas a creative person, uh,
Copy !req
545. sits alone in this great studio
that you see here
Copy !req
546. and writes all by himself and...
Copy !req
547. communicates with the world
in a very private way and...
Copy !req
548. and lives a rather...
Copy !req
549. grand inner life
rather than a grand outer life.
Copy !req
550. And if you carry around
both personalities...
Copy !req
551. I suppose that means you become
a schizophrenic and that's the end of it.
Copy !req
552. Felicia, you must be
interested in music too, aren't you?
Copy !req
553. Daddy.
Copy !req
554. Daddy!
Copy !req
555. Catch!
Copy !req
556. Well, I love you too, darling.
Copy !req
557. So much. Thank you.
Copy !req
558. Well, hello, children of Zeus!
Copy !req
559. My man!
Copy !req
560. - Hello, Lenny.
- Hello.
Copy !req
561. What a lovely surprise.
Copy !req
562. That's why I love New York City.
Copy !req
563. Come out of your apartment
Copy !req
564. and all of sudden
you just run into people that you love.
Copy !req
565. - I'm going downtown. Oh.
- So am I.
Copy !req
566. Well, we're cutting
across the park to go to Saks
Copy !req
567. - before the deluge.
- Who are you? Hello. Hello.
Copy !req
568. Hello, you're so beautiful.
You're so precious.
Copy !req
569. Can I tell you a secret?
Copy !req
570. Do you know
I slept with both your parents?
Copy !req
571. Too much, isn't it? Too much.
Copy !req
572. I love too much, what can I say?
But I'm reining it in.
Copy !req
573. I'm reining it in!
Copy !req
574. See those people across the avenue
staring at us?
Copy !req
575. Saying, "It can't be him.
He's much better-looking on television."
Copy !req
576. "Certainly has Leonard Bernstein's ears
though, doesn't he?"
Copy !req
577. "Can that be him? Is that possible?"
Copy !req
578. How embarrassing.
We don't even have silverware.
Copy !req
579. - Here.
- Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
Copy !req
580. What's wrong with the silverware?
We don't need it.
Copy !req
581. I ordered the Chinese food, remember?
Copy !req
582. The problem is we need those
fucking curtains so I can sleep.
Copy !req
583. Walk around like a zombie.
Copy !req
584. Scare all our children.
Copy !req
585. - Do we have children in this house?
- We do.
Copy !req
586. I don't know how the Bergs do it.
Three children.
Copy !req
587. Three! I know, it's unbelievable. Unreasonable.
Copy !req
588. Alex doesn't make any noise.
I think we'll be fine.
Copy !req
589. - No, for now.
- Sleeps all day.
Copy !req
590. - Alexander, our sleeping little baby.
- He won't sleep for long.
Copy !req
591. - It's like he isn't even real.
- No.
Copy !req
592. Dream baby.
Copy !req
593. I'm sad, darling,
and I don't know why.
Copy !req
594. Darling, you're so tired.
You just need to sleep.
Copy !req
595. Yes.
Copy !req
596. Summer sang in me a little while,
it sings in me no more.
Copy !req
597. Edna St. Vincent Millay.
Copy !req
598. If the summer doesn't sing in you,
Copy !req
599. then nothing sings in you.
Copy !req
600. And if nothing sings in you,
Copy !req
601. then you can't make music.
Copy !req
602. There's a price for being
in my brother's orbit, you know that.
Copy !req
603. As much as he'd love to believe
the opposite is true.
Copy !req
604. I suppose
I do understand what you mean.
Copy !req
605. Well, it's very strange, but I...
Copy !req
606. I do believe
there is that in everybody.
Copy !req
607. One wishes to make adjustments to oneself.
Copy !req
608. This way.
Copy !req
609. But...
Copy !req
610. having this imposition
of a strong personality,
Copy !req
611. it's like a way of death.
Copy !req
612. Really.
Copy !req
613. Yet the moment I see that
that is making him suffer,
Copy !req
614. well, I realize it's not worth it.
Copy !req
615. No. What for? It isn't going to kill me.
Copy !req
616. If it was going to give him pleasure
or stop him from suffering
Copy !req
617. and it's in my power to do it
then what the hell?
Copy !req
618. But one has to do it
completely without sacrifice.
Copy !req
619. And if there's going to be a sacrifice,
then I disappear.
Copy !req
620. Good?
Copy !req
621. Oh!
Copy !req
622. That time, that time really was good!
Copy !req
623. - Wicker!
- Oh, my God!
Copy !req
624. White antique wicker
with Pierre Deux cushions.
Copy !req
625. - I love it.
- It will give it that
Copy !req
626. whimsical, Victorian conservatory look.
Copy !req
627. So you want to lock me up in a
glass cage like some sort of exotic bird.
Copy !req
628. I'm surrounded by men
and it feels so right.
Copy !req
629. They are really better.
Copy !req
630. I think Felicia is... I don't know...
I just can't make heads or tails of her.
Copy !req
631. She's fine. She's just, you know, I mean...
Copy !req
632. Are you all right? Do you need
to get a towel or something?
Copy !req
633. Julia! Julia! Julia!
Copy !req
634. I think we need a towel.
Copy !req
635. It's that you're so distracted
all the time.
Copy !req
636. I'm going to go take a big dump.
Copy !req
637. Okay, wonderful.
Copy !req
638. - Oh, my God.
- Has Daddy mentioned anything about
Copy !req
639. - Harry and Amberson this summer?
- No.
Copy !req
640. Oh, Harry's offering me a job
at Amberson this summer.
Copy !req
641. What do you think?
Copy !req
642. - What does Daddy say?
- Daddy thinks it's a great idea.
Copy !req
643. Then I think it's great.
Copy !req
644. - So I have your blessing?
- Yes.
Copy !req
645. - Thank you. Bye.
- I love you. Bye.
Copy !req
646. - She looks so grown up.
- Looks can be deceiving.
Copy !req
647. - I got the go ahead.
Copy !req
648. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
649. Be really good at this. Be really good.
Copy !req
650. - So happy.
- You're intimidating me. I'll try my best.
Copy !req
651. I just got trampled on in my own house.
Copy !req
652. Come here.
I want you to meet a few people.
Copy !req
653. This guy almost trampled all over me.
Copy !req
654. - I was decapitated—
- Listen to me—
Copy !req
655. - I know, I'm tired, please—
- This is Lenny.
Copy !req
656. - Hello! How are you?
- This is Charlie.
Copy !req
657. All my hands are taken.
Copy !req
658. - You're a big fellow. Grand man.
- Jim.
Copy !req
659. You're a huge fellow. Hello, Charlie.
Copy !req
660. Pleasure. How are you? Having a good time?
Copy !req
661. Lenny should be composing.
Copy !req
662. - Well...
- No, Harry loves to play it
Copy !req
663. on the side of him with the appearances
and the recordings and...
Copy !req
664. cookie-cutter boys.
Copy !req
665. - You know, he's not my favorite.
- My favorite.
Copy !req
666. No, I know, he's not my favorite.
Copy !req
667. - Well...
- Well...
Copy !req
668. - You're taking it like a champ.
- You are.
Copy !req
669. - I would never know.
- Handling it quite well.
Copy !req
670. - Our little Joan of Arc.
- Yes.
Copy !req
671. But remember what happened to Joan.
Didn't work out so well.
Copy !req
672. So bored.
Copy !req
673. - Hello, Scott.
- Hello.
Copy !req
674. We don't say that in our family.
Felicia doesn't like it.
Copy !req
675. - In your family?
- In my family.
Copy !req
676. Your family, Lenny?
Copy !req
677. Okay, that's enough.
Copy !req
678. - We've been together for ten years.
- Believe me, I know three of them.
Copy !req
679. I guess denial is
not just a river in Egypt.
Copy !req
680. - That was the crossword. Three letters.
- Really?
Copy !req
681. Pun.
Copy !req
682. - Yes, it is "pun".
- Yes, it is.
Copy !req
683. - Did you do it Thursday?
- Yes.
Copy !req
684. - It's quite easy, but—
- Yeah.
Copy !req
685. - Hello.
- Hi, I'm Tommy.
Copy !req
686. Did you just appear
out of my handkerchief?
Copy !req
687. - I live here now.
- Are you a genie?
Copy !req
688. - I wish.
- Do I get three wishes?
Copy !req
689. - What's your first wish? Hi.
- My first wish.
Copy !req
690. Good luck. Bye, Tommy.
Copy !req
691. Sorry, I don't even know if you—
Copy !req
692. - It's beautiful.
- Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
693. - Felicia puts it together.
- She does a good job.
Copy !req
694. If I was left to my devices,
I'd be dressed like a clown.
Copy !req
695. That's the truth. Don't tell anybody.
Copy !req
696. Mind if I smoke in the other room?
Where do you live? Who are you?
Copy !req
697. - I'm from San Francisco.
- So you're from Earth?
Copy !req
698. Originally, yes.
Copy !req
699. - Your hair is glorious.
- That's sweet of you.
Copy !req
700. Listen, I have to go to the roof.
I need some air.
Copy !req
701. - Would you mind to come with me?
- I'd love to.
Copy !req
702. That's wonderful. Come here.
Tommy, is it?
Copy !req
703. - Toast of the party.
- Belle of the ball.
Copy !req
704. The belle of the ball!
Copy !req
705. - My God, are you kidding me?
- Both at the same time. Somehow.
Copy !req
706. A highwire act. Toast bell. Toast bell.
Copy !req
707. Have you seen Lenny anywhere?
Copy !req
708. Do you want me to fetch him?
Copy !req
709. No, I don't mind.
Copy !req
710. That's what I'm saying,
that I needed the turtleneck.
Copy !req
711. I needed the turtleneck,
you know what I'm saying?
Copy !req
712. I mean, that's the...
As I break this fucking wall.
Copy !req
713. - How will we solve this problem?
- I don't know what to do.
Copy !req
714. I'm worried about it.
We have to figure it out.
Copy !req
715. Well, don't they...
Do your listeners know what you look like?
Copy !req
716. The problem is you're in radio,
you need to be in television.
Copy !req
717. - Stop.
- You're gorgeous. May I?
Copy !req
718. Darling, this is Tommy.
Copy !req
719. - Everything okay?
- It's okay.
Copy !req
720. Darling.
Copy !req
721. Why don't you go through here? It's fine.
Copy !req
722. - Darling.
- No.
Copy !req
723. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
724. Fix your hair. You're getting sloppy.
Copy !req
725. Well, like it or not,
this world is utterly fascinated,
Copy !req
726. obsessed even, with everything about you.
Copy !req
727. Ever since that famous phone call
which led to your debut at Carnegie Hall.
Copy !req
728. And you have not let them down, my dear.
Copy !req
729. Fifteen years on television, teaching us
all the magic of classical music,
Copy !req
730. the Young People's Concerts and Omnibus
Copy !req
731. reaching hundreds of millions
all over the world,
Copy !req
732. ten years at the New York Philharmonic
Copy !req
733. and then there are the compositions.
Copy !req
734. West Side Story redefined
the American musical.
Copy !req
735. - Jesus Christ.
- Then there's Candide and On the Town.
Copy !req
736. Actually, when you add it up,
there's not much that I've created.
Copy !req
737. Music is... I don't...
Copy !req
738. I know this is gonna sound strange,
it was the most important thing I could do
Copy !req
739. and a great source
of dissatisfaction that I haven't
Copy !req
740. created that much at all.
Copy !req
741. I mean, when you add it up,
it's not a very long list.
Copy !req
742. Well...
Copy !req
743. What this is...
Copy !req
744. This is an opportunity for the world
to get to know you apart from all that.
Copy !req
745. This book is to understand what
you think about in your private moments.
Copy !req
746. Your personal feelings on,
well, on life as you know it.
Copy !req
747. I feel like the world is
on the verge of collapse.
Copy !req
748. That's what I feel like.
Copy !req
749. I'm quite serious.
Copy !req
750. - Yes.
- The diminution of creativity,
Copy !req
751. which has come to a grinding halt.
Copy !req
752. I mean, not scientifically.
That has exploded.
Copy !req
753. But as we sit here,
I find it very difficult to...
Copy !req
754. think that...
Copy !req
755. whether I'm a conductor or a composer,
Copy !req
756. of any note, has any bearing on anything.
Copy !req
757. Or that my existence is
even worth talking about for this book.
Copy !req
758. No, I agree. I agree.
Copy !req
759. I think this has marked many artists
and you can see it in their work.
Copy !req
760. This seems to seep into the subconscious
Copy !req
761. - so that there's this great depression—
- But I know that Felicia...
Copy !req
762. She senses it enormously.
Copy !req
763. It's all pervasive.
Copy !req
764. It's almost as if she can't
enjoy anything anymore.
Copy !req
765. I know.
Copy !req
766. - It just seems so sad.
- A picnic...
Copy !req
767. the water, lunch...
Copy !req
768. sitting around being together.
Copy !req
769. What is that?
Copy !req
770. I think she has a keen sense of futility.
Copy !req
771. I sense that too about her.
Copy !req
772. I had no idea
because I had this feeling of her first,
Copy !req
773. incredibly, which she is, vivacious
Copy !req
774. and marvelously alert and aware
Copy !req
775. and a happy person,
Copy !req
776. but something in her seems crushed.
Copy !req
777. She said to me in Vienna last month,
Copy !req
778. "I want to get off.
I want to stop the bus and get off."
Copy !req
779. - Mmm.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
780. And how do you feel about that?
Copy !req
781. I have one or two saving factors.
One is it that I love people,
Copy !req
782. and I love music. I love music so much
it keeps me glued to life
Copy !req
783. even when I'm most depressed.
Copy !req
784. And I can get very deeply depressed.
Copy !req
785. But I have a work ethic
and that keeps me afloat.
Copy !req
786. And the other is that
I love people so much that...
Copy !req
787. it's hard for me to be alone.
Copy !req
788. Which is part of my struggle
as a composer.
Copy !req
789. Yes.
Copy !req
790. You are the only person I've met
Copy !req
791. who leaves the bathroom door open
for fear of being alone.
Copy !req
792. I mean, can one really believe that
Copy !req
793. man is just this trapped
Copy !req
794. animal.
Copy !req
795. He's a victim
of his own greeds and follies and...
Copy !req
796. Either one believes in the divine element
in this or one doesn't.
Copy !req
797. As long as I believe it...
Copy !req
798. which I assume is
why I love people so much,
Copy !req
799. then I have to believe that
Copy !req
800. in some remote corner of my soul
there is a way out.
Copy !req
801. Okay, so, sopranos...
Copy !req
802. you're on the hot seat.
Copy !req
803. Take it from bar 44, just from the end of
"Make our garden grow,
Copy !req
804. make our garden grow,"
heading to the a cappella.
Copy !req
805. And, sopranos, make sure that you...
Copy !req
806. make space so that
the high notes can soar.
Copy !req
807. - It means—
- It is... "I'm dying
Copy !req
808. and I'm growing a hernia."
Copy !req
809. It's an old Chilean expression.
Copy !req
810. I was desperate to find a rhyme,
I couldn't.
Copy !req
811. - I woke her up—
- Your mother was from Rovno Gubernia.
Copy !req
812. In the middle of the night, desperate.
Copy !req
813. There's a Chilean idiom,
top of her head.
Copy !req
814. You woke me up from a very deep sleep.
Copy !req
815. It's the exact piece.
Copy !req
816. In fact, all of the Spanish here
is all from Felicia.
Copy !req
817. We're lucky that she's here today
to help with the pronunciation.
Copy !req
818. That's right. I'm sorry, I've been...
Copy !req
819. I was looking through Voltaire's work
and I couldn't find Rovno Gubernia.
Copy !req
820. That's because I made it up, my dear boy.
Copy !req
821. Let's see what you think.
Copy !req
822. - See what you think.
- This is gorgeous.
Copy !req
823. I know, isn't it lovely?
Copy !req
824. - All right, there you go.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
825. Come on. Let's go.
Copy !req
826. Lenny, what do you want me to get?
Copy !req
827. You could just get that big-ass bag
of kibble.
Copy !req
828. Oh, Lord. Thank you.
Copy !req
829. It's Jamie.
Copy !req
830. And I wanted to have a drink.
Copy !req
831. Daddy!
Copy !req
832. Hello, darling.
Copy !req
833. Help yourself after. Just go right there.
Copy !req
834. Is this all Felicia's idea?
Copy !req
835. I had nothing to do with it.
Her painting as well.
Copy !req
836. - So beautiful.
- Lenny.
Copy !req
837. - What is it, darling?
- Have you seen Jamie?
Copy !req
838. - I have not seen Jamie.
- You haven't seen her?
Copy !req
839. No.
Copy !req
840. - Why? Is she here?
- Yes, she's here.
Copy !req
841. She's terribly upset, darling.
Copy !req
842. What is she upset about?
Copy !req
843. She's been hearing gossip.
Copy !req
844. - Excuse me?
- Gossip.
Copy !req
845. - Gossip about what?
- About you, darling.
Copy !req
846. What about me?
Copy !req
847. I don't know.
She's been up at Tanglewood all summer.
Copy !req
848. I can't imagine what she might've heard.
Copy !req
849. Well, what did you tell her?
Copy !req
850. Darling, it's not for me really to say.
I said she should speak to you.
Copy !req
851. She's old enough, don't you think?
Copy !req
852. I don't care how old she is,
I ask that you be discreet.
Copy !req
853. I think she's completely at an age
where she needs to, deserves to know.
Copy !req
854. I mean, darling,
she didn't ask for any of this.
Copy !req
855. - It was my decision.
- Well, no, it's our decision.
Copy !req
856. It's not just yours.
Copy !req
857. Don't you dare tell her the truth.
Copy !req
858. Jamiery Creamery.
Copy !req
859. - Welcome home.
- Well, look at this.
Copy !req
860. Hello.
Copy !req
861. - Hi.
- Hello. Wow.
Copy !req
862. Not what I expected.
Copy !req
863. Did you write a new song or something?
Copy !req
864. I was reading. Keeping my journal.
You have a nice trip?
Copy !req
865. - Did you see Tommy?
- Oh, yes, he waved.
Copy !req
866. I thought that would make you happy.
He's gonna spend the weekend.
Copy !req
867. Wonderful.
Copy !req
868. Smart as a whip, that boy.
Keeps me on my toes.
Copy !req
869. See how he does the anagrams.
Copy !req
870. He's a sweet boy.
Copy !req
871. Yeah, you know,
your mother told me that you...
Copy !req
872. are very upset
because you heard some rumors
Copy !req
873. about me at Tanglewood this summer.
Copy !req
874. I really wish
she wouldn't have said anything.
Copy !req
875. - Jamie...
- It's fine, it's no big deal.
Copy !req
876. - It is a big deal because you're upset.
- I wasn't upset.
Copy !req
877. So let's discuss it.
Copy !req
878. Your mother and I
have talked about it and...
Copy !req
879. I said I'd come down here
and talk to you about it.
Copy !req
880. - I—
- Try to enlighten or shed some sort of
Copy !req
881. understanding on
what could've happened, so...
Copy !req
882. - Jealousy is the word that I would use.
- What?
Copy !req
883. Jealousy.
Copy !req
884. When I was a...
Copy !req
885. student at Curtis, there was a boy...
Copy !req
886. Seemed like a nice boy. Brought a pistol
to school, tried to kill me
Copy !req
887. because he was jealous of my musical...
Copy !req
888. - talent.
- Your musical talent.
Copy !req
889. It just drove him to the brink of murder.
Copy !req
890. Artur Rodziński was the musical director
of the New York Philharmonic.
Copy !req
891. God told him to hire me.
Copy !req
892. Tried to strangle me during a rehearsal.
Copy !req
893. Because of jealousy.
Copy !req
894. Now, I don't know what happened
or who said what or where,
Copy !req
895. but I can only imagine that
it was spurned on by jealousy, darling.
Copy !req
896. Jealousy of...
Copy !req
897. Of whatever it is that I do
Copy !req
898. that has plagued me all my life
and I apologize for plaguing you now.
Copy !req
899. But I hope that helps.
Copy !req
900. So the rumors aren't true?
Copy !req
901. No, darling.
Copy !req
902. Thank you...
Copy !req
903. for coming to talk to me.
Copy !req
904. I'm relieved.
Copy !req
905. - Let's go inside.
- What...
Copy !req
906. All right, what color?
Copy !req
907. Here we have—
Copy !req
908. We've got three shades
of the exact same red.
Copy !req
909. It's not the exact same red.
Copy !req
910. This one apparently is blue.
Copy !req
911. - I'm gonna try—
- Blue—
Copy !req
912. So we're just giving up
on anagrams, guys?
Copy !req
913. You're gonna make it a design.
Copy !req
914. - Having a nail session.
- You're an artist.
Copy !req
915. Look at this, it's a little checker.
Copy !req
916. I thought it was a good idea
for him to come for the weekend.
Copy !req
917. I know how much
Jamie loves being with him.
Copy !req
918. - Jamie?
- You like him too, don't you?
Copy !req
919. Yes, I do.
Copy !req
920. Darling, if I've done
Copy !req
921. - something wrong, tell me.
- No.
Copy !req
922. No, I don't know why
Jamie is particularly...
Copy !req
923. I don't know why you said
she was particularly interested in...
Copy !req
924. Well, Tommy is very, sort of,
warm, and he's highly intelligent,
Copy !req
925. as is our daughter.
Copy !req
926. - Okay.
- And—
Copy !req
927. - No, I'm not saying that—
- No, I have an interest
Copy !req
928. in spending time with him too.
Copy !req
929. I'm not trying to shove it off
that I brought him here for her.
Copy !req
930. - Clearly not.
- Well, no, obviously not.
Copy !req
931. All I'm saying is
that's just another reason why.
Copy !req
932. - But I can easily tell him not to come.
- No.
Copy !req
933. I misread the room, clearly.
Copy !req
934. - No.
- I misread the room.
Copy !req
935. Well, it's not really
about that. It's about...
Copy !req
936. - What is it about?
- No, nothing.
Copy !req
937. Okay. All right.
Copy !req
938. So, then, it's fine?
Copy !req
939. Yes?
Copy !req
940. - Yes.
- All right, darling.
Copy !req
941. I'll do it. Okay.
Copy !req
942. - What?
- No, I just...
Copy !req
943. Nothing. I thought
we were having a conversation.
Copy !req
944. - But we were.
- No.
Copy !req
945. - I'm sorry. I thought we were finished.
- I know you're busy.
Copy !req
946. I'm not busy,
I'm just desperate to finish this.
Copy !req
947. Well, then, do it, darling.
I'm not stopping you. Do it.
Copy !req
948. Where is everybody? Oh, they're here.
Copy !req
949. Hello, everyone,
I have an announcement to make.
Copy !req
950. I have finished "Mass."
Copy !req
951. Yay, Dad.
Copy !req
952. Where is Mummy going?
Copy !req
953. Julia, who left the Snoopy
in the vestibule?
Copy !req
954. Hello, Brian. Alex.
Copy !req
955. Who left...
Who abandoned Snoopy in the vestibule?
Copy !req
956. - Who abandoned Snoopy?
- That was me. I'm sorry, Daddy.
Copy !req
957. I mean, it's his day.
Copy !req
958. - He started eating it...
- Daddy, you have to see me.
Copy !req
959. - How many?
- Stop.
Copy !req
960. - Why are you going on and on about this?
- How many?
Copy !req
961. - I'm so sorry.
- There was a woman—
Copy !req
962. You're a day late for Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
963. I know. Harry had me going all over.
I had to do—
Copy !req
964. Nina was very upset.
Copy !req
965. Well, I don't think...
Nina doesn't seem so upset.
Copy !req
966. Did you hear her screaming
about some random woman?
Copy !req
967. You finally got her to come.
Copy !req
968. - As a surprise for you—
- Daddy!
Copy !req
969. Of course. Thank you, Julia.
Copy !req
970. Nina's not upset about the woman.
Copy !req
971. She's upset about you
almost missing Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
972. - We didn't know if you were coming.
- Happy Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
973. - Mike, please stay.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
974. - I got to go down.
- Jamie, take him.
Copy !req
975. - Yeah, come on, Mike.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
976. - Do you want any snacks first?
- No, I'm good.
Copy !req
977. Happy Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
978. - Darling?
- Mmm.
Copy !req
979. For a second I thought...
Copy !req
980. - It was quite a stunt that you pulled.
- What?
Copy !req
981. - That was quite a stunt that you pulled.
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
982. Well, darling, you put the pillow outside
and the slippers
Copy !req
983. and the toothpaste and the toothbrush
and I haven't seen you since.
Copy !req
984. I understand you're angry with me.
Jesus Christ. But, I mean...
Copy !req
985. let's be reasonable.
Copy !req
986. There's a saying in Chile
Copy !req
987. about never standing under a bird
that's full of shit.
Copy !req
988. And I've just been living
Copy !req
989. under that fucking bird
Copy !req
990. for so long, it's actually become comedic.
Copy !req
991. Well, I think...
Copy !req
992. - that you're letting your sadness get—
- Oh, stop it!
Copy !req
993. - Let me finish...
- That has nothing to do with me...
Copy !req
994. - ... what I'm going to say. I think...
- No.
Copy !req
995. you're letting your sadness
get the better of you.
Copy !req
996. It's about you, so you should love it.
Copy !req
997. You want to be sleepless
and depressed and sick.
Copy !req
998. So you can avoid
fulfilling your obligations.
Copy !req
999. - What obligations?
- To what you've been given.
Copy !req
1000. The gift that you've been given.
Copy !req
1001. - Please.
- My God.
Copy !req
1002. The gift comes with burdens.
Do you have any idea?
Copy !req
1003. - The burden of feigning honesty and love.
- Sorry, that's the truth.
Copy !req
1004. That above all you love people
and from that wellspring of love
Copy !req
1005. the complications arise in your life.
Copy !req
1006. - That's exactly right.
- Wake up! Take off your glasses.
Copy !req
1007. Hate in your heart.
Hate in your heart and anger.
Copy !req
1008. There's so many things,
it's hard to count.
Copy !req
1009. That's what drives you.
Deep, deep anger drives you.
Copy !req
1010. You aren't on that podium
allowing us to experience the music
Copy !req
1011. the way it was intended.
You are throwing it in our faces.
Copy !req
1012. - How dare you?
- How much we'll never be able to
Copy !req
1013. ever understand and by us
witnessing you do it so effortlessly,
Copy !req
1014. you hope that we will know, really know,
deep in our core
Copy !req
1015. - how less than we all are for you.
- That's your issue.
Copy !req
1016. - And it's your hubris—
- Join the crowd.
Copy !req
1017. You prance around with all your dewy-eyed
waiters that Harry corrals for you
Copy !req
1018. under the guise they have something
intellectual to offer you
Copy !req
1019. - while you are "teaching" them.
- Well, at least my heart is open.
Copy !req
1020. The audacity to say that!
Copy !req
1021. Have you forgotten about the four years
Copy !req
1022. where you couldn't decide
if you wanted to marry me?
Copy !req
1023. - That's what I think.
- The idea of you?
Copy !req
1024. The Chamberlain movie we saw last week,
Copy !req
1025. he said, "How could I compete
with the man you think I am?"
Copy !req
1026. Thank God I met Dick so I could
fucking survive your indecision.
Copy !req
1027. - Dick Hart. Richard Hart.
- Yes.
Copy !req
1028. - Who fucking died.
- Who loved me.
Copy !req
1029. - Who died.
- Who loved me.
Copy !req
1030. Yeah, he's a corpse now
and I was the one who was a fool
Copy !req
1031. waiting outside the fucking hospital
for you like an idiot in my truth.
Copy !req
1032. Your truth is a fucking lie!
Copy !req
1033. It sucks up the energy in every room
and gives the rest of us zero opportunity
Copy !req
1034. to live or even breathe
as our true selves.
Copy !req
1035. Your truth makes you brave and strong
Copy !req
1036. and saps the rest of us
of any kind of bravery or strength.
Copy !req
1037. Because it's so draining, Lenny.
Copy !req
1038. It's so draining to love
and accept someone
Copy !req
1039. who doesn't love and accept themselves.
Copy !req
1040. And that's the only truth
I know about you.
Copy !req
1041. If you're not careful, you're going to die
a lonely, old queen.
Copy !req
1042. Mommy! Daddy!
Copy !req
1043. Mom! Dad!
Copy !req
1044. - Daddy!
- Mom!
Copy !req
1045. - Snoopy's here, hurry up!
- Come on.
Copy !req
1046. Mommy! You're missing Snoopy.
Copy !req
1047. What are you guys doing in there?
Copy !req
1048. - He's so big.
- You've been in there for ages.
Copy !req
1049. - Dad!
- Yes.
Copy !req
1050. Come on.
Copy !req
1051. I'll go.
Copy !req
1052. - Hello.
Copy !req
1053. Hello. How are you?
Copy !req
1054. Hello. Hello. How are you?
Copy !req
1055. Wonderful. Hello. Hello.
Copy !req
1056. What I love
Copy !req
1057. about these Thursday rehearsals
Copy !req
1058. is that we get a chance to talk to you
about what we think of the music.
Copy !req
1059. So, thank you for coming
and good afternoon.
Copy !req
1060. Um, today we're studying
Shostakovich's 14th Opus 135.
Copy !req
1061. What I realized about this piece...
Copy !req
1062. It could be morbid,
but I tend to think that it's not...
Copy !req
1063. is that
Copy !req
1064. as death approaches...
Copy !req
1065. I believe that an artist must
Copy !req
1066. cast off anything that's restraining him.
Copy !req
1067. And an artist
Copy !req
1068. must be resolute in creating,
whatever time he has left,
Copy !req
1069. in absolute freedom.
Copy !req
1070. And that's why...
Copy !req
1071. I have to do this for myself,
Copy !req
1072. I have to live...
Copy !req
1073. the rest of my life,
however long or short that may be,
Copy !req
1074. exactly the way that I want.
Copy !req
1075. As more and more of us are
in this day and age.
Copy !req
1076. And cut. Thank you.
That's the scene.
Copy !req
1077. My goodness. I don't think
my mouth has ever moved so fast.
Copy !req
1078. - You are sweet, Colin.
- Here you are, Felicia.
Copy !req
1079. I'd love to do one more.
Copy !req
1080. - Yes, of course.
- If you don't mind.
Copy !req
1081. So, this thing where, remember if you hold
the score low you get a better bounce.
Copy !req
1082. Lower. I was doing it high.
Copy !req
1083. If we do it again,
I'd love to start at bar 44.
Copy !req
1084. And I do believe percussion
could be a little bit quiet.
Copy !req
1085. - Still have a headache?
- It's fine.
Copy !req
1086. - Cynthia.
- Do they realize
Copy !req
1087. it's only a matter of time
before you direct the production?
Copy !req
1088. Already happening. The carpet
was a different color yesterday.
Copy !req
1089. - I was right about the carpet.
- I agree.
Copy !req
1090. I just forgot
how much I love being at work.
Copy !req
1091. - We're almost finished.
- Reservation can wait.
Copy !req
1092. - This is such a hoot. Really.
- Wait.
Copy !req
1093. I thought tonight was
my night to take you out.
Copy !req
1094. Oh, you both have to stop
worrying about me. I'm fine.
Copy !req
1095. - I'm busier than ever.
- Better, not busier.
Copy !req
1096. Though, boy, that's true, isn't it?
I mean, doesn't the...
Copy !req
1097. Poor Murderer
go into previews the next week?
Copy !req
1098. Don't remind me.
Copy !req
1099. Who said anything about worrying?
Copy !req
1100. I'm just greedy to have
as much of you as I can get.
Copy !req
1101. I'm all yours.
Copy !req
1102. What were you talking about?
Copy !req
1103. I was talking about how...
Copy !req
1104. - What was I talking about?
- I can't remember.
Copy !req
1105. Maybe I was saying
how handsome everybody looks tonight.
Copy !req
1106. A lot of hombres. Lots.
Copy !req
1107. Chicken? That's what we call them.
Copy !req
1108. Always good with the chickens.
Copy !req
1109. You really like the chickens.
Copy !req
1110. - I love the chickens.
- I know you do.
Copy !req
1111. - Harry, do I—
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1112. - Just do it off there.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1113. - Did you get it?
- Like a pro.
Copy !req
1114. It's raining down on me
through your fucking nose.
Copy !req
1115. It's fine. Just right over here.
Copy !req
1116. Here you go. I'll just serve everybody.
Copy !req
1117. - Oh, Lenny—
- I'm fine. Thank you.
Copy !req
1118. - I'm sorry—
- It's okay. Thank you. It's fine.
Copy !req
1119. Jerry Robbins was right,
you can't maintain a relationship
Copy !req
1120. when you're living in various hotel rooms.
Copy !req
1121. - You'll start to upset me now.
- Listen.
Copy !req
1122. No, darling, no, I just wanted to...
Copy !req
1123. I called because I wanted to ask
what your plans were for the weekend.
Copy !req
1124. We're gonna be home in a couple of days.
Copy !req
1125. I thought we could all spend it in
Fairfield. You just have to nudge Mommy.
Copy !req
1126. Who's we, Daddy?
Copy !req
1127. No, I...
Copy !req
1128. Well, he's not a monster.
Copy !req
1129. He's an utterly brilliant...
Copy !req
1130. delightful fellow. He's my genius
little leprechaun. He's not even my type.
Copy !req
1131. Daddy, please don't.
Copy !req
1132. Daddy, please don't talk to me about this.
Copy !req
1133. Darling...
Copy !req
1134. I'm in awe of you.
Copy !req
1135. I love you so, Jamie... I love you.
Copy !req
1136. I know. I know.
Copy !req
1137. I know.
Copy !req
1138. I'll talk to Mummy again.
Copy !req
1139. Okay, Daddy.
Copy !req
1140. I don't know if you saw it,
Copy !req
1141. but you did get a wonderful mention
in The New York Times review.
Copy !req
1142. - Oh, really?
- I kept it for you. I thought I could—
Copy !req
1143. I don't wanna see it.
Copy !req
1144. No, it just makes me feel uncomfortable.
Copy !req
1145. But that's so sweet. Thank you.
Copy !req
1146. All right.
Copy !req
1147. How was Monday night?
Copy !req
1148. Monday... No, I don't think
Copy !req
1149. - I want to talk about it.
- Wait.
Copy !req
1150. - What happened on Monday night?
- Nothing.
Copy !req
1151. - Your mother has a suitor.
- No.
Copy !req
1152. Really?
No, please, let's talk about it.
Copy !req
1153. I think it's enough that
you are subjected to your father's affair.
Copy !req
1154. So, no, I don't think we need to.
Copy !req
1155. But, speaking of your father,
Copy !req
1156. I do have two performances
on Thanksgiving, so...
Copy !req
1157. I'll stay at the theater
and you'll eat with him
Copy !req
1158. at the apartment with Nina and Alex.
Copy !req
1159. For Nina's sake, let's maintain
some semblance of normalcy.
Copy !req
1160. - Doesn't feel normal to me.
- Well, I...
Copy !req
1161. I don't know what to say.
Copy !req
1162. - I'm running late to meet Alexander.
- Oh, come on.
Copy !req
1163. I am. You two clearly have
things to speak about.
Copy !req
1164. - No, don't do that.
- No, I'm gonna give you guys space
Copy !req
1165. - to speak about it.
- That's not how we do things.
Copy !req
1166. Grownups don't do that.
Copy !req
1167. - I did make plans with Alexander—
- No. Darling.
Copy !req
1168. We're not leaving like this.
Look at me in the eye.
Copy !req
1169. I can see how cross you are
and I don't want you to go like that.
Copy !req
1170. - I'm not cross with you.
- I don't believe you.
Copy !req
1171. Hold on.
Copy !req
1172. I am not angry with you, Mummy.
Copy !req
1173. You're a terrible liar.
Copy !req
1174. - At least you know you can trust me.
- That's true.
Copy !req
1175. - I'm gonna clear.
- No.
Copy !req
1176. - Got to make fun of him...
- I love you.
Copy !req
1177. For not coming to see you yet,
rave about your performance.
Copy !req
1178. Well, that'd be wonderful.
Copy !req
1179. Okay, now, tell me about the suitor.
Copy !req
1180. Oh, so, yes, the suitor...
Copy !req
1181. Uh, so...
Copy !req
1182. I was very excited, as you know.
Copy !req
1183. - I was very excited, as you know.
- I do.
Copy !req
1184. - We went out for lunch, not dinner.
- Where?
Copy !req
1185. Café Carlyle, nothing fancy.
Copy !req
1186. And I was a little nervous,
I'll admit, so was he.
Copy !req
1187. So, halfway through the meal,
he leans over,
Copy !req
1188. and he asks if he can tell me a secret.
Copy !req
1189. - He has a little crush, you see.
- Indeed.
Copy !req
1190. So, I smiled, I blushed a little
and I pushed him to tell me.
Copy !req
1191. He has a crush on Mendy
Copy !req
1192. and he wants me to introduce them.
Copy !req
1193. - Mendy Wager?
- Mendy.
Copy !req
1194. Don't be so surprised.
Mendy's a very handsome man.
Copy !req
1195. - Felicia...
- There I was...
Copy !req
1196. blushing, butterflies all-a-tremble, and...
Copy !req
1197. Well...
Copy !req
1198. seems I'm attracted to a certain type.
Copy !req
1199. Listen...
Copy !req
1200. You know, Lenny loves you, he really does.
Copy !req
1201. He's just... a man. A horribly aging man...
Copy !req
1202. who cannot just be wholly one thing.
Copy !req
1203. He's just... lost.
Copy !req
1204. I've always known who he is.
Copy !req
1205. He called me, you know.
Copy !req
1206. And?
Copy !req
1207. He wants us all to go
to Fairfield for two weeks.
Copy !req
1208. - He sounded different.
- Felicia...
Copy !req
1209. No, I...
Copy !req
1210. Let's not make excuses. He didn't fail me.
Copy !req
1211. - Felicia...
- No, it's...
Copy !req
1212. It's my own arrogance
Copy !req
1213. to think I could survive
on what he could give.
Copy !req
1214. It's ironic. I would look at everyone,
even my children
Copy !req
1215. with such pity because
of their longing for his attention.
Copy !req
1216. It was sort of a banner
I wore so proudly,
Copy !req
1217. I don't need. I don't need.
Copy !req
1218. And...
Copy !req
1219. look at me now.
Copy !req
1220. Who's the one who hasn't been honest?
Copy !req
1221. I miss him...
Copy !req
1222. that child of mine.
Copy !req
1223. Any questions?
Copy !req
1224. Bravo!
Copy !req
1225. - It was amazing.
- Darling, why did you come?
Copy !req
1226. There is no hate...
There is no hate in your heart.
Copy !req
1227. - Mr. Bernstein, you can come back now.
- Oh, wonderful.
Copy !req
1228. - Wanna sit down?
- Yes.
Copy !req
1229. You seem like you need
your blood pressure taken.
Copy !req
1230. No, I'm fine.
Copy !req
1231. You know Betty's coming
for dinner tonight?
Copy !req
1232. - I didn't know that.
- She is.
Copy !req
1233. And Mendy, which will be so nice.
Copy !req
1234. And Julia's gone to go and get fennel,
which you know Betty loves.
Copy !req
1235. - Come in.
Copy !req
1236. - Hello.
- How are you?
Copy !req
1237. It looks like you have a tumor
of the right side of the left breast
Copy !req
1238. which may have metastasized to the lung.
Copy !req
1239. Given the size of the tumor,
Copy !req
1240. I would recommend
that we remove the breast,
Copy !req
1241. the underlying muscles
and the adjacent lymph nodes,
Copy !req
1242. as well as do a biopsy of the lung
Copy !req
1243. which will help us confirm
whether there is spread or not.
Copy !req
1244. We could do all of this
early next week if you like.
Copy !req
1245. Yes.
Copy !req
1246. But I'm... Darling...
Copy !req
1247. - I'm starting a play in September.
- That's okay.
Copy !req
1248. - No, but I should let them know—
- I'll let them know.
Copy !req
1249. I think your recovery
will be faster than you think
Copy !req
1250. and we can have you ready
within about one to two weeks.
Copy !req
1251. - That's wonderful news.
- You'll be able to do what you need to do.
Copy !req
1252. How can we be assured
that we get all the cancer?
Copy !req
1253. - Well—
- ... that we get all the cancer.
Copy !req
1254. We're not gonna compromise on that
for the play...
Copy !req
1255. Once we take off the breast,
there'll be no local cancer.
Copy !req
1256. We do have to determine about the lung.
Copy !req
1257. How long would the biopsy take?
Copy !req
1258. The biopsy, just minutes, and you'll be
sleeping from the other procedure.
Copy !req
1259. So, you do it... you do...
Copy !req
1260. You do both at the same time?
Copy !req
1261. Yeah, we do the breast and it'd be easy
to do the biopsy of the lung.
Copy !req
1262. Thank you. Thanks for everything.
Copy !req
1263. - I know...
- I know.
Copy !req
1264. - I know.
- That's so ridiculous.
Copy !req
1265. No, I know.
Copy !req
1266. I'm so ridiculous.
Copy !req
1267. There, there. It's okay, darling.
Copy !req
1268. No, I don't really think so, darling.
Copy !req
1269. - Darling.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
1270. - Darling, let's take the park and walk.
- Really?
Copy !req
1271. Yes.
Copy !req
1272. Yes, let's get some air.
Copy !req
1273. Okay.
Copy !req
1274. - Oh, my God.
- You all right?
Copy !req
1275. No, I'm fine.
Copy !req
1276. - There's something wrong with my knee.
- I have an idea.
Copy !req
1277. Oh, no.
Copy !req
1278. Is that a lighter, darling?
Copy !req
1279. Mind your own business.
Copy !req
1280. I'm thinking of a number.
Copy !req
1281. - Oh, I don't know. Nine.
- No.
Copy !req
1282. - Five.
- No, you have to think.
Copy !req
1283. I'm trying to.
Copy !req
1284. I am trying to.
Copy !req
1285. - It's two, darling.
- Two.
Copy !req
1286. It's two.
Copy !req
1287. - Like us.
- Hmm?
Copy !req
1288. - Like us, a pair.
- Mmm.
Copy !req
1289. Two little ducks in a pond.
Copy !req
1290. Throw your weight on me, darling.
Copy !req
1291. That's it. Put all your weight on me.
Yes, that's it.
Copy !req
1292. Lean your head back. That's it.
Copy !req
1293. Oh, my dear.
Copy !req
1294. Hello, dears.
Copy !req
1295. Hello.
Copy !req
1296. Gorgeous.
Copy !req
1297. Missed you.
Copy !req
1298. Missed you so much.
Copy !req
1299. Mummy? You all right?
Copy !req
1300. I'm good. I'm fine.
Copy !req
1301. Did you have a nightmare getting here?
Copy !req
1302. Of course.
This one was driving.
Copy !req
1303. - Oh, no.
- I don't think we could've gone
Copy !req
1304. - farther east if we'd tried.
- You know I hate driving.
Copy !req
1305. Oh, I wish I'd come earlier. Is there...
Copy !req
1306. Is there anything you need?
Copy !req
1307. Anything I can do?
Copy !req
1308. Never get another perm.
Copy !req
1309. That's what I said.
Copy !req
1310. Ramone said it was a triumph.
Copy !req
1311. It's a gigantic triumph.
Copy !req
1312. Where's Lenny?
Copy !req
1313. Oh, I don't know,
he's sleeping or something.
Copy !req
1314. Do you remember that...
Copy !req
1315. that bar mitzvah that you dragged me to,
Copy !req
1316. one of Alexander's friends?
Copy !req
1317. - The little... Yes.
- I do.
Copy !req
1318. With...
Copy !req
1319. Oh, what's his name?
Copy !req
1320. - Feldman. Yeah.
- Yes!
Copy !req
1321. So, we're there and I am, of course,
seated next to our dear Felicia here.
Copy !req
1322. And she looks stunning as usual.
Woe is me.
Copy !req
1323. And Lenny's about 25 pounds lighter.
Copy !req
1324. And tanned, just tanned,
all in white from head to toe,
Copy !req
1325. including white patent-leather shoes
with no socks.
Copy !req
1326. It was very en vogue.
Copy !req
1327. A lie.
Copy !req
1328. Well, at one point Lenny,
Copy !req
1329. he gets up, you know,
in that all-white attire
Copy !req
1330. and he makes his way
up to the lectern. Um...
Copy !req
1331. - Yes.
Copy !req
1332. No, it's fine. The, um...
Copy !req
1333. - Lenny in the white suit.
- Yes.
Copy !req
1334. And he's all in white... and, um...
Copy !req
1335. he...
Copy !req
1336. Uh, he goes up to the lectern and...
Copy !req
1337. - I don't think anybody asked him to speak.
- No.
Copy !req
1338. But...
Copy !req
1339. it took him 20 minutes
just to walk from our table up there,
Copy !req
1340. stopping at every table he passed,
chit-chatting of course,
Copy !req
1341. and finally, he arrives up there
next to the frightened boy.
Copy !req
1342. And Felicia leans up to me
Copy !req
1343. without missing a beat and says,
Copy !req
1344. "And now we have the bride."
Copy !req
1345. He's risen.
Copy !req
1346. Oh.
Copy !req
1347. - Oh, my God.
- A production.
Copy !req
1348. Watch it, Jamie.
Copy !req
1349. I'll see you.
Copy !req
1350. Okay. All right, bye. See you.
Copy !req
1351. Love you.
Copy !req
1352. I don't want any more visitors.
Copy !req
1353. No more. No more. I want to go to bed.
Copy !req
1354. Yes, okay.
Copy !req
1355. Yes. No, you're gonna
have to cancel it. Yes.
Copy !req
1356. Well...
Copy !req
1357. No, I'm not leaving.
Copy !req
1358. That's out of the question.
Copy !req
1359. I've had a relationship with the orchestra
for 15 years, they'll understand.
Copy !req
1360. No, that—
Copy !req
1361. I'm not leaving here, Harry.
You're gonna have to figure it out.
Copy !req
1362. Yes.
Copy !req
1363. Yes, we're doing fine.
Copy !req
1364. - Are you using the bathroom?
- No, I can't.
Copy !req
1365. - You have to drink your water.
- I'm trying.
Copy !req
1366. Oh, my God,
I'm freezing cold all the time.
Copy !req
1367. No, don't help me. I don't need help.
Copy !req
1368. I don't need it. I don't need it.
Copy !req
1369. Let go.
Copy !req
1370. Get into bed, come on.
I don't need all this fuss.
Copy !req
1371. - Are the pillows all right?
- Honestly, they're fine. Come on.
Copy !req
1372. - Just lie down. Lie down.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1373. Sorry. Sorry.
Copy !req
1374. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1375. You know...
Copy !req
1376. all you need...
Copy !req
1377. all anyone needs
is to be sensitive to others.
Copy !req
1378. Kindness.
Copy !req
1379. Kindness. Kindness.
Copy !req
1380. Darling, it's ten minutes past half hour.
Did you take your medicine?
Copy !req
1381. - No, I don't—
- How's your pain threshold?
Copy !req
1382. I think he told me not to take it.
Copy !req
1383. - Who told you?
- Arkell.
Copy !req
1384. Darling...
Copy !req
1385. No, Arkell's not our doctor.
It's Kruger... Bernard.
Copy !req
1386. Arkell was our doctor many years ago.
Copy !req
1387. Of course, no, I don't know what...
Copy !req
1388. Maybe you should go take some medicine.
How's your pain?
Copy !req
1389. It's fine.
Copy !req
1390. - No pain?
- No.
Copy !req
1391. Okay, well, after this, take it,
all right?
Copy !req
1392. - Darling, all right?
- No, I'm concentrating.
Copy !req
1393. Look what I found.
Copy !req
1394. What is it?
Copy !req
1395. - Speaking of childhood memories...
- Oh, yes.
Copy !req
1396. - Could be a good idea.
- More interesting.
Copy !req
1397. - Now, is it?
- Put it on.
Copy !req
1398. Do you remember that song, dear?
Copy !req
1399. - You do?
- Do you guys think we do?
Copy !req
1400. - Do you remember the dance?
- No.
Copy !req
1401. - You were the worst—
- Do you remember the dance?
Copy !req
1402. You were the absolute worst at it.
Copy !req
1403. Get your hands into it.
Copy !req
1404. Come here, everyone.
Copy !req
1405. Come here.
Copy !req
1406. Sweet Gene, come here. Come here.
Copy !req
1407. Come here. Sweet Gene, come here.
Copy !req
1408. Let's go to the house.
Copy !req
1409. Where's the patient?
Copy !req
1410. Where is the patient?
Copy !req
1411. The doctor is here. Hello, nurse.
Copy !req
1412. And, uh...
Copy !req
1413. I love you.
Copy !req
1414. You smell like...
Copy !req
1415. tuna fish...
Copy !req
1416. and cigarettes.
Copy !req
1417. You caught me.
Copy !req
1418. It's horrible.
Copy !req
1419. - You got it?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1420. Get the bag.
Copy !req
1421. I think the main point
of this whole piece is becoming one.
Copy !req
1422. Not only the timpani in the back,
but also the violins in the front.
Copy !req
1423. Have to treat them all as one organism.
Copy !req
1424. If you do that,
then you can just work from there.
Copy !req
1425. I've got you. So don't worry.
Copy !req
1426. Okay? I'm right here.
I'm gonna take you through it.
Copy !req
1427. - Okay? Here we go.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1428. William, everybody.
Copy !req
1429. - Bar three-eleven, please.
Copy !req
1430. One, two, three.
Copy !req
1431. Okay. Sorry.
Copy !req
1432. - Sorry.
Copy !req
1433. Now that you've made it clear
Copy !req
1434. that you're retarding into the fermata...
Copy !req
1435. Yeah, I'm just still unclear after—
Copy !req
1436. It's fine, everything's together.
Copy !req
1437. But what happens after?
What are you gonna do?
Copy !req
1438. 'Cause they don't know. You gonna
bleed out of it or you gonna
Copy !req
1439. drip out of it? What are you gonna do?
Copy !req
1440. I'll do this.
Copy !req
1441. Leak out of it.
That's what it sounds like.
Copy !req
1442. Fermata.
Copy !req
1443. - Bar before.
- Bar before.
Copy !req
1444. - One, two, three.
Copy !req
1445. No, that's not clear.
Copy !req
1446. - Yeah, I didn't feel that.
Copy !req
1447. One more time please. Sorry.
Copy !req
1448. - Shall I—
Copy !req
1449. Okay, that's very nice.
Copy !req
1450. - But that's still a bar.
Copy !req
1451. So, if I could just show you
what I think you wanted
Copy !req
1452. - and if I'm wrong, you tell me.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1453. So think you want to do. Where you want
to take it... You have to do...
Copy !req
1454. cut off and an upbeat.
Copy !req
1455. Quarters. I think
that's what you really mean.
Copy !req
1456. Bar before the fermata.
Copy !req
1457. - Right?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1458. Did I get it? What did I do?
Copy !req
1459. Ah, that's what I did.
Copy !req
1460. That's for me or for you?
Copy !req
1461. More.
Copy !req
1462. More. More!
Copy !req
1463. That's very good. Okay.
Copy !req
1464. Start back here. Okay, thank you.
Copy !req
1465. - Be kind to him.
Copy !req
1466. If summer doesn't sing in you,
then nothing sings in you,
Copy !req
1467. and if nothing sings in you,
then you can't make music.
Copy !req
1468. Something she told me
Copy !req
1469. when I was gloomy about something
Copy !req
1470. and recited this
Edna St. Vincent Millay poem,
Copy !req
1471. which then became Songfest.
Copy !req
1472. But summer does still sing in me.
Copy !req
1473. Not as strongly as it used to or...
Copy !req
1474. or as often...
Copy !req
1475. but it sure does.
Copy !req
1476. If not, I would've jumped
in the lake long ago.
Copy !req
1477. Any questions?
