Sullivan's Travels (1941): Sully Wants to Make an Important Picture Part 3

The clip Sully wants to make an important picture Part 3 from Sullivan's Travels (1941)

Where were you at 20?
I was in college.
When I was 13 I supported three sisters, two brothers and a widowed mother.
Where were you at 13?
I was in boarding school.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to be ashamed of it, Sully.
That's the reason your pictures have been so light, so cheerful, so inspiring.
They don't stink with messages.
That's why I paid you 500 a week when you were 24.
750 at 25.
1,000 when you were 26.
When I was 26, I was getting 18.
2,000 at 27.
I was getting 25 then.
3,000 after Thanks for Yesterday.
4,000 after Ants in Your Plants.
I suppose you're trying to tell me I don't know what trouble is.
Yes!
In a nice way, Sully.
You're absolutely right. I haven't any idea what it is.
People always like what they don't know anything about.
I had a lot of nerve wanting to make a picture about human suffering.
You're a gentleman to admit it, Sully, but then, you are anyway.
How about making Ants in Your Plants of 1941?
You can have Bob Hope, Mary Martin...
Maybe Bing Crosby.
The Abbott Dancers.
MaybeJack Benny and Rochester.
A big-name band.
What?
Oh, no. I want to make O Brother, Where Art Thou?
But I'll tell you what I'm gonna do first.
I'm going down to wardrobe to get some old clothes,
some old shoes,
Huh?
and I'm gonna start out with ten cents in my pocket.
What?
I don't know where I'm going, but I'm not coming back...
till I know what trouble is.
What?
Don't worry, you can take me off salary.
Who's talking about taking you off salary?
So long. Thanks for the idea.
Wait! Don't be so impulsive.
How soon will you be back?
I don't know.
Maybe a week, maybe a month, maybe a year.
Don't worry about me. And thanks, Dracula. You gave me a great idea.
I gave you...
Now look what you've done.
Yeah... What I've done?
With your lies about selling newspapers!
I sold as many newspapers as you supported a family at 13.
I opened a shooting gallery.
With money you borrowed from your uncle.
We better insure him for a million.
He's worth more.
The bonehead.
Yes, but what a genius.
Get me a copy of that O Brother, Where Art Thou?
I guess I'll have to read it now.
Make that two copies. Why should I suffer alone?
