Houdini1953
Harry Houdini:
It'll be the most dangerous thing I've ever done.
Bess Houdini:
And the most dangerous!
Harry Houdini:
Bess, people aren't going to stand in line and watch me pull rabbits out of a hat.
Bess Houdini:
Why? Why must every act you do be flirting with death?
Harry Houdini:
Because it's the only act that'll hold an audience spellbound. People fall asleep at the opera, but they stay wide awake at the bullfights because ther's one man defying death down in that arena. You take this out of my act and I'm nothing!
Bess Houdini:
You keep it in and we're both nothing!
