Amateurs

From Limelight (dir. Charles Chaplin, 1952). Postant (Nigel Bruce) thinks he’s offering a compliment. Carvelo (Chaplin) sets him straight:

“Tonight you’re gonna make ’em all look like a bunch of amateurs.”

“That’s all any of us are — amateurs. We don’t live long enough to be anything else.”

[Limelight is streaming at TCM through July 14.]
