I no like-a to brag, but the thing

I'm-a most unknown for is mind reading.

I give you demonstration.

- You are thinking of something...

- Right so far.

You are thinking of a nice juicy steak

with-a French-fried-a potatoes.

- The exit's over there.

- You don't want a mind reader? What else?

- Maybe you need a juggler.

- No juggler.

An usher? I bring-a my own flashlight.

- Hello, Lyons.

- Mr Lyons. So glad to see you.

- You're looking wonderful.

- Yeah, you sure are.

Mr Yorkman supposed to be here at ten.

It's 11:
30.

Don't worry, partner, he'll show.

Don't tell me to don't worry,

and please don't call me partner.

I am removing all my costumes and scenery

as of now.

He's mad, pulling out of the biggest

Broadway smash since Show Boat.

Don't tell me about smashes. Mr Yorkman

was going to underwrite the show. Check?

- I told you exactly what he told me.

- Well, he ain't here. Check?

Now the next step.

The situation is, either Mr Yorkman,

or $1100, or I move the stuff off the stage.

- As of now.

- Hey, wait a minute.

Excuse me. You Mr Lyons?

- That's right.

- It's-a lucky I meet you.

I was just talking to Max Yorkman

in his office.

- Are you a friend of Mr Yorkman?

- Friend? Max and I are just-a like that.

- Two heads on the same neck.

- Well, I'm glad to meet you.

You know, Max said to me,

"Faustino, you want a job?

"Go see Mike Johnson. I'm backing

that show, he'll give you a job. "

- That's what he said, Mr Johnson.

- That's good enough for me.

He's backing the show?

Use-a your common sense.

Would I be here if he wasn't?

I've been trying to call Mr Yorkman

to find out.

You don't have to bother

with-a Max no more, just talk-a to me.

OK. Maybe I was a little hasty

about removing the stuff.

That's only natural.

You can't trust-a nobody in show business.

Maybe he really knows Mr Yorkman.

It's a buggy ride,

this whole show is a buggy ride.

- Am I hired?

- Yes, sir.

Thanks, thanks. How much-a you pay me?

- That kind of talk's gonna get you nowhere.

- Nobody gets paid.

- Not till we open and click.

- That's all right, I was thinking out loud.

I'm-a no ham.

Ham.

Ham! Something's happened.

It's lunchtime and he isn't here.

- Who isn't here?

- Harpo.

Hey, Jim.

Have you see any funny-faced tramps

with bushy hair?

There's a $1, OOO reward.

Harpo, everybody's waiting,

you're late with the food!

Now we eat!

Hello, Harpo. You got-a something for me?

You want I should read your mind again?

All right, start thinking.

You're thinking the same thing you thought

about yesterday. And the day before.

That's the only thought-a you got, huh?

You're in love.

A beautiful girl is-a going to smile at you.
