00:00I heard you were quite good when you went on for me last week.
00:03The audience was disappointed.
00:05I did my best, but there's no comparison.
00:08No, you're being modest.
00:10Well, it doesn't much matter, does it? I mean, you're here.
00:13That seems to surprise you.
00:15Why would I be surprised?
00:17I brought you tea back.
00:18You know, a special blend of tea leaves that your grandmother whips up in her country kitchen.
00:23Didn't you like it? I mean, it really calms me down.
00:25Yeah, so you said.
00:27Takes some before opening night. Wonderful for the nerves.
00:29Oh, it is.
00:30Yeah, maybe so.
00:31Not quite so good for the rest of the body.
00:35I don't know what you mean.
00:37Let me see if I can make myself perfect.
00:39Since you practically forced that tea on me, and since your motives are so transparent,
00:44I took some to my doctor and had him send a sample to the lab.
00:47A lab?
00:48I learned a marvelous new word. Cyclophosphamide.
00:51It's an alkylating agent.
00:53That's an odd thing, defining your grandmother's recipe.
00:56There must be some mistake.
00:58It just causes dizziness and nausea.
01:00A few sips of this and I'd be home right now and you'd know which makeup to use.
01:04Monica, you weren't even willing to pay your dues, were you?
01:11Karen, I...
01:11Oh, didn't know you had company. Hi, Mark.
01:14Hi.
01:14This is private, Leo.
01:16No, come on in, Leo. The three of us were kind of a little talk.
01:19About what?
01:20Well, pick a subject.
01:22Opening nights, doing a favor for an intimate friend.
01:25What?
01:26Huh?
01:27Going to medical school.
01:28You did go, didn't you, for a few years?
01:30I imagine you had courses in chemistry.
01:33Well, that was a long time ago.
01:35Why? What's this all about?
01:36She knows.
01:37That's what?
01:38About that.
01:39She had it analyzed.
01:41Oh, brother.
01:43Okay, look, we spiked your tea, but it wouldn't have harmed you.
01:45It just would have slowed you down for tonight.
01:47The question is, what are you going to do?
01:49I told you it was crazy. You wouldn't listen.
01:50Be quiet.
01:50They put people in jail for something like this.
01:52Be quiet.
