Frustration and Refusal to Perform

Theatre Producers Discuss Their Connections
Anna Tell me, Monsieur Ziegfeld, are you in the theatre?
Florenz Yes, I'm a producer.
Anna You're a pro... did you hear that, Marie - Monsieur Ziegfeld is an American producer! Do you know Monsieur... Billings?
Florenz Billings?
Anna Oui!
Florenz Billings...
Anna He's American producer, too!
Florenz Oh, is that so?
Anna Oui!
Florenz No, I've never heard of him. Of course uh, not in New York, that is. America's a big country, Miss Held. We still have many producers in the west putting on shows for the Indians.
Anna Indians? Do you mean the savages?
Florenz Yes.
Anna Did you hear that, Marie? I do not think I will like America.
Florenz Oh, you'd love New York.
Anna Would New York love me?
Florenz I think so.
Anna You only think so? Did you not like my performance?
Florenz Yes, and... no.
Anna Yes and no, what shall that mean - does it mean yes or no?
Florenz Well uh, both.
Anna Did you not care for my singing, no?
Florenz Yes, a trifle nasal I thought, but yes.
Anna And you did not like my costumes either?
Florenz No, I thought one dress was very attractive but the rest, no.
Anna Monsieur Ziegfeld, I think you're very rude. Please go! Monsieur Ziegfeld!
[calling out the door]
Florenz Yes?
Anna Come back, please. Sit down. You know, you're very honest. I like you very much.

The Secret to Success: Milk Baths
Anna Held That night I say to Flo - I mean Mr. Ziegfeld - "Flo, why do you send me so much milk?" and he just laughs and says, "Anna, that's a great idea. You'll get it from now on everyday." Everyday, 20 gallons of milk? I say, "Flo, who can drink so much milk?" and do you know what he says? "Don't drink it - bathe in it! And you will be a big success.

Work and Suffering in Aspirations
Anna Audrey, are you not interested in my present?
Audrey I would be, if they were mine.
Anna But Audrey, you will have many of them someday. Maybe you have to work a little, and to suffer a little, but what is that, hmm?
Audrey I'll work - but I won't suffer.

Misunderstandings in Relationships and Professionalism
Anna You should have at least closed the door.
[walking in on Audrey and Florenz]
Florenz Wait! Anna! Anna, please don't misjudge me. I couldn't help it. She's... she's drunk.
Anna Do you always do that when she's drunk? The members of your company must enjoy that very much.
Florenz Oh, Anna, don't say that. Don't you understand, dear, when one of my girls -
Anna Poor Flo, you have so much trouble with your girls. Oui!

Perceptions of Ziegfeld's Character and Reputation
Florenz Do you know Ziegfeld?
Billie No, I don't want to. I understand he's a horrible person.
Florenz Horrible?
Billie Yes, they say he's a terrible ladies man. I suppose that's forgivable, because he's surrounded by so many beautiful women.
Florenz Yes, yes, strange you've never met him.
Billie I don't want to. I love his shows - they're so beautfiul and in such good taste. It'd disappoint me terribly to meet him and find him to be a fat, pudgy man with a big stomach.
Florenz Oh, he's not fat. And not really so pudgy.
Billie No? You know him?
Florenz Oh, yes. Yes, he... he would like you.
Billie How do you know?
Florenz But didn't you just say he had good taste?
Billie Oh, well you're sort of a ladies man yourself, aren't you?
Florenz I think with you as the lady I could make Ziegfeld look like an amateur.
