67

00:
05:04,837 -- 00:05:08,534

Don't that drive you nuts, always leaving

you hanging up on the meat hook like that?

68

00:
05:08,641 -- 00:05:11,075

[ Man ]

I confess, it is quite irritating, sir.

69

00:
05:12,812 -- 00:05:15,508

I suppose I ought to wake him up

if he's gonna see anyone before the concerts.

70

00:
05:15,615 -- 00:05:18,880

Oh, give him a couple of minutes.

Ain't you ever been in love?

71

00:
05:31,497 -- 00:05:35,490

- I'm so sorry.

- Oh, isn't it customary to knock

before coming into a bedroom?

75

00:
05:35,601 -- 00:05:37,660

- Or am I just old-fashioned?

- I did knock, Sir Alfred.

76

00:
05:37,770 -- 00:05:41,001

- Extremely sorry. I didn't hear you.

- I just wanted to make sure you were awake...

77

00:
05:41,107 -- 00:05:43,735

and ask you what to do about

the morning delegation of crackpots.

78

00:
05:43,843 -- 00:05:45,606

Oh, dear.

79

00:
05:45,712 -- 00:05:48,272

Among them a lady reporter who wants

to know why you conduct with a stick.

80

00:
05:48,381 -- 00:05:50,315

What's she expect me to use,

an umbrella?

81

00:
05:50,416 -- 00:05:53,442

- She says Stokie uses just his hands.

- Ah, but they're so beautiful.

82

00:
05:53,553 -- 00:05:58,456

So large. So white. So free and easy on the draw.

Mine look more like nutcrackers.

83

00:
05:58,558 -- 00:06:00,822

- Here, darling.

- Thank you, sweetheart.

84

00:
06:00,927 -- 00:06:03,020

She also wants to know why

you conduct from a score.

85

00:
06:03,129 -- 00:06:06,155

Because I can actually read music.

I also play an instrument, the flageolet.

86

00:
06:06,265 -- 00:06:08,165

- Don't forget to tell her that.

- Certainly, Sir Alfred.

87

00:
06:08,267 -- 00:06:10,167

- I'll get you a light.

- Thanks.

88

00:
06:10,269 -- 00:06:12,931

Also, Mr. Pedasta, your concert master,

would like to discuss with you...

89

00:
06:13,039 -- 00:06:16,839

the fingering in the fourth, fifth

and sixth bars before letter "H"...

90

00:
06:16,943 -- 00:06:19,173

in the Tannhuser overture.

91

00:
06:19,278 -- 00:06:22,042

Oh, dear. The fingering's standard.

What's the matter with him?

92

00:
06:22,148 -- 00:06:24,912

He says because it's the Paris version

with the Venusberg music.

93

00:
06:25,017 -- 00:06:27,042

- Do you want the French fingering?

- That old story.

94

00:
06:27,153 -- 00:06:29,621

Tell Mr. Pedasta I'll walk with him

Preston Sturges

Preston Sturges (; born Edmund Preston Biden; August 29, 1898 – August 6, 1959) was an American playwright, screenwriter, and film director. In 1941, he won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the film The Great McGinty, his first of three nominations in the category. Sturges took the screwball comedy format of the 1930s to another level, writing dialogue that, heard today, is often surprisingly naturalistic, mature, and ahead of its time, despite the farcical situations. It is not uncommon for a Sturges character to deliver an exquisitely turned phrase and take an elaborate pratfall within the same scene. A tender love scene between Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck in The Lady Eve was enlivened by a horse, which repeatedly poked its nose into Fonda's head. Prior to Sturges, other figures in Hollywood (such as Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith, and Frank Capra) had directed films from their own scripts, however Sturges is often regarded as the first Hollywood figure to establish success as a screenwriter and then move into directing his own scripts, at a time when those roles were separate. Sturges famously sold the story for The Great McGinty to Paramount Pictures for $1, in return for being allowed to direct the film; the sum was quietly raised to $10 by the studio for legal reasons. more…
