Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:07,532 --> 00:01:09,945
Forty six. Dawson Institute.
2
00:01:21,591 --> 00:01:22,408
Haha.
3
00:01:52,011 --> 00:01:56,072
All I'm asking is a 90 day extension
on the note Mr Collins .. That's all.
4
00:01:56,317 --> 00:01:59,083
And know you must be asking yourself
why I'm unable to fulfill my obligations.
5
00:01:59,429 --> 00:02:01,683
And the reason is I've been going
through a period of expansion.
6
00:02:02,049 --> 00:02:04,549
Expansion means success Mr Collins.
7
00:02:05,017 --> 00:02:08,153
As Benjamin Franklin said "an expanding
business a never-failing one".
8
00:02:09,327 --> 00:02:11,665
Have I had any results? Why Mr Collins ..
9
00:02:12,004 --> 00:02:14,952
You would be amazed at some
of the wires I've been receiving.
10
00:02:15,234 --> 00:02:16,473
You certainly would.
11
00:02:17,431 --> 00:02:20,310
Here, I'll read one to you .. This is from
my new branch in Chicago.
12
00:02:20,713 --> 00:02:21,220
Quote:
13
00:02:21,473 --> 00:02:24,431
"Enrollments to date exceeding
our wildest expectations."
14
00:02:24,753 --> 00:02:27,018
"I've already signed 396."
15
00:02:27,138 --> 00:02:27,692
Unquote.
16
00:02:28,086 --> 00:02:29,138
And that's only Chicago.
17
00:02:29,842 --> 00:02:32,405
Alright Mr Collins, that's fine. I'll
call you first thing in the morning.
18
00:02:33,262 --> 00:02:34,680
Uhoh, here comes Bolston.
19
00:02:35,779 --> 00:02:38,689
Let's see what they have to say .. Thanks.
20
00:02:44,591 --> 00:02:45,530
Six.
21
00:02:46,422 --> 00:02:47,934
Look at these, will you.
� May I come in?
22
00:02:48,380 --> 00:02:51,032
Horace, you're just the man I want to see.
� Oh really? Well ..
23
00:02:51,717 --> 00:02:54,335
I'll leave it to you. What's your opinion
on this type of advertising?
24
00:02:54,757 --> 00:02:59,884
Well .. arresting, magnetic, vigorous.
With just a touch of puissance.
25
00:03:00,202 --> 00:03:02,105
I tell you that stuff went out
with wall telephones.
26
00:03:02,457 --> 00:03:04,447
Oh, no, no. No Claire, I can't agree
with you.
27
00:03:04,729 --> 00:03:08,078
Then you went out with wall telephones.
Nowadays, talk isn't enough.
28
00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:11,881
Well I've enrolled hundreds into the
Institute by merely talking to them.
29
00:03:13,649 --> 00:03:16,503
The messenger is waiting Mr Dawson.
Any reply to that last wire?
30
00:03:16,935 --> 00:03:17,855
Yes.
31
00:03:18,897 --> 00:03:21,498
Yes Miss Hathaway. Send him in.
� Yes, sir.
32
00:03:23,106 --> 00:03:24,274
I'll show you what words can do.
33
00:03:24,647 --> 00:03:26,965
In sixty seconds this boy will be a
student of the Dawson Institute.
34
00:03:27,359 --> 00:03:30,979
It stands to reason that if I inject the
same personality, the same words into ..
35
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,592
Good morning young man.
� Good morning.
36
00:03:34,873 --> 00:03:37,080
You know, as I saw you through
the open door, I said to myself ..
37
00:03:37,315 --> 00:03:39,316
I wonder if that young man would
like to be a success. Would you?
38
00:03:39,551 --> 00:03:41,635
Sure, anybody would.
� Then, what's to prevent you?
39
00:03:41,842 --> 00:03:44,377
You lack poise and confidence. You
haven't learned to think on your feet yet.
40
00:03:44,741 --> 00:03:47,166
In 8 short weeks I can lift you out
of your rut, and make you a ..
41
00:03:47,447 --> 00:03:49,894
a self-confident, forceful,
dynamic leader of men.
42
00:03:50,092 --> 00:03:52,134
Yeah, but listen ..
� Now just what is it you want to say?
43
00:03:52,352 --> 00:03:54,697
I'm trying to tell you I took
your course last year.
44
00:03:55,029 --> 00:03:55,857
You!
45
00:03:58,434 --> 00:03:59,993
Well .. really.
46
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:07,356
Isn't that odd? You know, as I saw you
through the door I said to myself ..
47
00:04:07,814 --> 00:04:10,595
Now there .. now there is a young man
with leadership written all over him.
48
00:04:11,069 --> 00:04:13,644
There is a man you can't keep down.
Don't be discouraged.
49
00:04:13,964 --> 00:04:16,343
Remember the first rule of the Dawson
system: never be a defeatist.
50
00:04:16,756 --> 00:04:20,231
Last year I gave you self-confidence.
I promise you you'll get that back.
51
00:04:20,803 --> 00:04:24,505
Last year, I gave you 80 bucks. I'd be
content if I could get that back.
52
00:04:27,744 --> 00:04:30,054
Lazy. Shiftless. I know the type.
53
00:04:30,301 --> 00:04:31,962
Well, those are the ones you have to sell.
54
00:04:32,536 --> 00:04:36,142
And I still say you're not going to
do it, by just pointing at them.
55
00:04:36,942 --> 00:04:40,143
Well .. the Navy's been using that kind
of poster for years. Very successful.
56
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:44,310
And really Claire, you can't judge
by a boy like that. He's stupid.
57
00:04:44,706 --> 00:04:47,448
He may be stupid, but I think he's
solved our problem for us.
58
00:04:47,725 --> 00:04:51,047
He just gave me an idea .. you know
who our next customer is?
59
00:04:51,622 --> 00:04:53,697
The biggest failure in the United States.
60
00:04:54,052 --> 00:04:55,085
The biggest failure .. who's that?
� A friend of yours?
61
00:04:55,815 --> 00:04:57,573
I don't know who it is.
We're going to find him.
62
00:04:58,127 --> 00:05:00,268
We're going to run a nation-wide contest.
63
00:05:00,681 --> 00:05:02,165
Think of the free publicity we'll get.
64
00:05:02,562 --> 00:05:04,068
For years there has been
contests for everything ..
65
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,424
From corn-huskers to bathing beauties,
but this is something new and different.
66
00:05:08,203 --> 00:05:10,505
A contest for the greatest failure.
67
00:05:10,625 --> 00:05:13,876
Yes .. that has possibilities.
� Yes, it certainly has.
68
00:05:14,083 --> 00:05:15,735
Now, after we find our failure ..
69
00:05:16,101 --> 00:05:17,603
We put him through the course,
follow him every step of the way ..
70
00:05:18,135 --> 00:05:21,313
With photographs, interviews,
magazine articles, radio broadcasts.
71
00:05:21,692 --> 00:05:23,482
and when he comes out the other end
of the line a success ..
72
00:05:23,736 --> 00:05:25,253
Everyone will know about
the Dawson Institute.
73
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:27,135
Hmm.
74
00:05:27,689 --> 00:05:30,614
What's more, people would say: if Dawson
can do it for him, he can do it for me.
75
00:05:30,811 --> 00:05:32,426
Why, that's exactly what they'll say.
76
00:05:32,546 --> 00:05:34,961
Because you won't be telling
them, you'll be showing them.
77
00:05:35,473 --> 00:05:37,579
You know darling. I think
we've hit on something.
78
00:05:38,377 --> 00:05:41,372
There's only one thing wrong. That
word "failure". That's bad psychology.
79
00:05:41,598 --> 00:05:43,738
Very bad .. people hate
to admit their failures.
80
00:05:44,041 --> 00:05:48,567
Yes .. I think the phrase "ideal subject"
would be better.
81
00:05:48,933 --> 00:05:51,525
"The Dawson Ideal Subject Contest."
82
00:05:51,771 --> 00:05:52,644
The Dawson ..
83
00:05:52,888 --> 00:05:57,217
"Ideal Subject Contest is open to every
man and woman in the United States."
84
00:05:57,683 --> 00:06:02,318
"Just listen to this. The first
prize is 500 dollars in cash."
85
00:06:02,430 --> 00:06:05,132
"A trip to New York city,
with all expenses paid."
86
00:06:05,423 --> 00:06:09,429
"And a free course of study in
the Dawson Institute Of Success."
87
00:06:09,716 --> 00:06:12,237
"Send in your entry today
to Dwight Dawson."
88
00:06:12,485 --> 00:06:15,078
"261 Fifth Avenue, New York city."
89
00:06:34,836 --> 00:06:38,551
Well, what about this man?
He resides in Michigan.
90
00:06:39,193 --> 00:06:44,200
He says, quote: in 1936 I was appointed
General Manager of a local dairy.
91
00:06:44,886 --> 00:06:49,703
I have worked here hard for six years.
I am now the janitor of the same concern.
92
00:06:50,194 --> 00:06:51,834
Offhand, I would say he was slipping.
93
00:06:52,716 --> 00:06:54,212
Let me see his picture.
94
00:06:56,579 --> 00:06:59,120
Oh no, no. This man is sick and emaciated.
95
00:06:59,448 --> 00:07:02,195
Our perfect failure must be of sound
body and fairly sound mind.
96
00:07:02,429 --> 00:07:03,894
He should have all the potentialities
of success but alas ..
97
00:07:04,463 --> 00:07:07,604
Get the broom boys and sweep out
the rest. Here's the winner. Listen ..
98
00:07:08,608 --> 00:07:12,932
Dear sirs .. since I'm only allowed 50
words, I'll have to take a few shortcuts.
99
00:07:13,528 --> 00:07:15,683
I don't have to tell you my name. You'll
find that at the bottom of the page.
100
00:07:16,466 --> 00:07:19,004
And the return address on the envelope
will tell you where I live.
101
00:07:19,804 --> 00:07:21,812
I'm sorry the enclosed
picture isn't very good.
102
00:07:21,932 --> 00:07:23,985
But Pete never was handy with a camera.
103
00:07:24,303 --> 00:07:26,178
Now .. about what I do for a living.
104
00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:28,587
I've got a few row-boats
that people go fishing in.
105
00:07:28,707 --> 00:07:31,610
So I guess you could call
me a "boat renter-outer".
106
00:07:32,078 --> 00:07:34,723
Since there's fishing only in the summer,
I don't do much during the winter except ..
107
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,068
Sit around and wait for
the summer again.
108
00:07:38,411 --> 00:07:39,999
Now, about my ambition.
109
00:07:40,518 --> 00:07:42,448
If I've got any, it's just to keep
on doing what I'm doing ..
110
00:07:42,979 --> 00:07:44,222
And living the way I'm living.
111
00:07:44,991 --> 00:07:49,360
Sincerely yours. Thadeus Winship Page.
112
00:07:50,193 --> 00:07:51,413
I don't believe it.
113
00:07:51,618 --> 00:07:53,729
And he's just as good
in person. Take a look.
114
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,992
He makes Lester look like
the boy-wonder of Wall Street.
115
00:07:58,579 --> 00:08:00,598
Young, healthy, lazy, shiftless.
116
00:08:00,834 --> 00:08:03,696
Phlegmatic, no ambition,
indifferent. Perfect, perfect.
117
00:08:04,274 --> 00:08:06,726
Imagine. He does nothing at all. He
wants us to continue doing nothing.
118
00:08:06,946 --> 00:08:08,507
That young man is certainly in a rut.
119
00:08:08,723 --> 00:08:10,179
Rut? He's in a trench.
120
00:08:11,733 --> 00:08:12,719
Horace, what's your decision?
121
00:08:13,068 --> 00:08:16,932
Well, if I may use the jargon of the
street, I would say that Mr Page is a jerk.
122
00:08:17,307 --> 00:08:17,946
You're right.
123
00:08:18,323 --> 00:08:20,885
Then we all agree that he's the winner
of the Dawson Ideal Subject contest.
124
00:08:21,209 --> 00:08:22,777
We'll send him a wire immediately.
125
00:08:30,465 --> 00:08:33,003
That's fine. Now Mr Page, would
you move back just a little.
126
00:08:33,297 --> 00:08:35,231
Yes, that's it. That's it.
A nice smile now.
127
00:08:35,437 --> 00:08:38,048
This way Mr Page. How
about one shaking hands?
128
00:08:38,168 --> 00:08:39,738
Get in closer will you Mr Page.
129
00:08:40,076 --> 00:08:42,667
No, no. Back a little bit.
� That's better for me.
130
00:08:42,944 --> 00:08:45,855
Hold it. Look this way. Big smile.
131
00:08:46,071 --> 00:08:47,771
How about one with Mr Page
alone. With his hat on.
132
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,404
Yeah, like he's just arrived.
� Yes, holding my latest book.
133
00:08:51,817 --> 00:08:54,716
Here's one right here .. here we are.
134
00:08:55,628 --> 00:08:57,140
Better have the name clear.
135
00:08:57,593 --> 00:08:58,401
Is that right?
136
00:08:58,974 --> 00:08:59,960
Oh that's perfect.
137
00:09:00,222 --> 00:09:01,086
That's it. That's it.
138
00:09:01,357 --> 00:09:03,686
Alright boys, just one more now.
When Mr Page is getting the check.
139
00:09:04,196 --> 00:09:06,464
Check? You have the check?
� Yes, here it is.
140
00:09:06,780 --> 00:09:09,537
Hold this right now .. you take
hold of the other end Mr Page.
141
00:09:10,105 --> 00:09:13,535
Yeah, that's a good one. Hold that.
� Steady now. That's fine, thanks.
142
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,261
Okay fellows, I think that does
it. Thanks for coming up.
143
00:09:16,381 --> 00:09:17,967
Oh that's alright Claire.
144
00:09:18,169 --> 00:09:19,461
I appreciate this a great deal gentlemen.
145
00:09:19,698 --> 00:09:21,879
Mr Hunter will take care
of the legal issues.
146
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:24,342
A little spiritual encouragement.
147
00:09:24,792 --> 00:09:26,755
Well Mr Page, you did nobly.
148
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,159
I'm afraid I blinked a
little in some of them.
149
00:09:29,755 --> 00:09:31,839
You see, that's the first time I've
had my picture taken that way.
150
00:09:32,254 --> 00:09:33,691
All I got is one of those box cameras.
151
00:09:33,811 --> 00:09:36,226
Come on, sit down Mr Page.
Sit down, right here, right here.
152
00:09:36,442 --> 00:09:37,165
Can I get you a little drink?
153
00:09:37,285 --> 00:09:39,742
Oh no thanks. My head is
spinning enough as it is.
154
00:09:41,329 --> 00:09:42,775
Is that all?
� That's the works.
155
00:09:43,188 --> 00:09:45,113
Well, I sure thank you for the check.
156
00:09:45,470 --> 00:09:48,440
It will come in handy .. we're raising
money up home for a fire-engine.
157
00:09:48,722 --> 00:09:50,544
A fire-engine? Well isn't that nice.
158
00:09:52,166 --> 00:09:55,449
It was nice to have met both of you.
If you're ever up my way, just drop in.
159
00:09:55,903 --> 00:09:58,168
I'll show you some of the
best fishing you ever saw.
160
00:09:59,161 --> 00:10:03,628
Uh .. I don't quite understand .. were
you going some place Mr Page?
161
00:10:04,344 --> 00:10:08,241
Sure .. home. Of course not right away.
I can't get a train until morning.
162
00:10:09,153 --> 00:10:10,703
What about the course?
� Huh?
163
00:10:11,172 --> 00:10:12,677
What about the course
you're going to take?
164
00:10:12,912 --> 00:10:13,898
What course?
165
00:10:14,508 --> 00:10:15,353
What course?
166
00:10:15,729 --> 00:10:18,902
Now look Mr Page, when
you entered this contest ..
167
00:10:19,118 --> 00:10:20,959
Do you remember what
the advertisement said?
168
00:10:21,813 --> 00:10:25,408
Uhuh. Write fifty words about
yourself and win 500 dollars.
169
00:10:25,963 --> 00:10:28,282
And a free course of study
in The Dawson Institute.
170
00:10:28,620 --> 00:10:31,521
Oh yeah .. now I remember.
� Oh sure ..
171
00:10:31,729 --> 00:10:34,218
Well, it didn't say I had
to take the course, did it?
172
00:10:35,683 --> 00:10:40,371
No .. but we just assumed that
you'd be only too glad to take it.
173
00:10:41,048 --> 00:10:45,062
No .. you see I just entered the contest
to raise the money for the fire-engine.
174
00:10:45,297 --> 00:10:47,184
It was the only way I
had of getting cash.
175
00:10:48,114 --> 00:10:50,884
I must have entered a hundred contests ..
� Oh, that's fine Mr Page.
176
00:10:51,410 --> 00:10:53,325
But you see the money
was just incidental.
177
00:10:53,703 --> 00:10:57,267
The main part is that you were chosen
as the man most in need of the training.
178
00:10:57,581 --> 00:11:00,088
Mr Page .. you don't realize
what I can do for you.
179
00:11:00,346 --> 00:11:03,682
Why, I can make you a leader of
business, a Captain Of Industry.
180
00:11:04,061 --> 00:11:06,258
You can?
� I certainly can!
181
00:11:06,718 --> 00:11:08,831
Look .. look at these men.
182
00:11:09,207 --> 00:11:12,718
All of them .. my boys! And what were
they before they came to me?
183
00:11:13,246 --> 00:11:15,753
Frightened, frustrated,
inhibited misfits!
184
00:11:15,873 --> 00:11:17,387
Look at them today!
185
00:11:17,594 --> 00:11:20,814
Executives, Sales Managers,
Vice Presidents ..
186
00:11:21,068 --> 00:11:23,866
And I did it all in eight short weeks.
187
00:11:24,326 --> 00:11:25,472
Eight weeks?
188
00:11:26,401 --> 00:11:29,202
Think of that.
� It's amazing, isn't it.
189
00:11:29,878 --> 00:11:31,230
It sure is.
190
00:11:33,663 --> 00:11:36,236
Well, I guess I'd better ..
� Ah, Mr Page ..
191
00:11:36,602 --> 00:11:39,156
You can't afford to turn this
down. You owe it to yourself.
192
00:11:39,494 --> 00:11:41,738
Maybe so, but I don't like
to put you to any trouble.
193
00:11:41,858 --> 00:11:46,130
It's no trouble at all. It's Mr Dawson's
business. At least it was his business.
194
00:11:46,685 --> 00:11:49,077
I don't think I'll bother
with it this time.
195
00:11:49,387 --> 00:11:51,922
If I'm ever in New York again though,
I might stop in and take it.
196
00:11:52,042 --> 00:11:55,174
Now look Mr Page, the Dawson
method is not just a massage.
197
00:11:55,475 --> 00:11:57,240
It's not just something you take
if you are in the neighborhood.
198
00:11:57,437 --> 00:12:00,122
No! This is something that
can change your entire life.
199
00:12:00,498 --> 00:12:03,793
Oh, I don't think I'd like that.
I kind of like the way I'm living.
200
00:12:04,141 --> 00:12:06,516
I'm pretty happy.
� How can you be?
201
00:12:06,927 --> 00:12:10,904
Oh now, Miss Harris, that's like asking
a person how he can like ruder ????
202
00:12:11,613 --> 00:12:13,256
He doesn't know. He just likes them.
203
00:12:13,876 --> 00:12:16,645
All I know is I wake up
in the morning happy.
204
00:12:16,852 --> 00:12:18,348
I go to bed at night happy.
205
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,592
I'm just happy.
206
00:12:21,761 --> 00:12:23,423
Mr Page, you're merely
deceiving yourself.
207
00:12:23,705 --> 00:12:25,959
You have no position,
no authority, no influence.
208
00:12:26,184 --> 00:12:27,696
Why, you are practically nothing.
209
00:12:27,930 --> 00:12:29,050
Oh, I wouldn't say that.
210
00:12:29,170 --> 00:12:33,341
Mum and I got a nice house in a
wonderful little town, a lot of friends ..
211
00:12:33,857 --> 00:12:35,914
I got a car .. four good tires.
212
00:12:37,081 --> 00:12:39,150
But you must rouse
yourself, drive yourself.
213
00:12:39,368 --> 00:12:41,659
Utilize your powers
and your capabilities.
214
00:12:42,379 --> 00:12:44,347
Personally, I never figured that way.
215
00:12:44,959 --> 00:12:48,649
Well tell me how you do figure
Mr Page. I'd certainly like to know.
216
00:12:49,682 --> 00:12:50,546
Well ..
217
00:12:50,958 --> 00:12:55,072
Number 1: You don't live for ever, so
it's no use taking things too hard.
218
00:12:56,221 --> 00:13:01,132
Number 2: Shrouds don't have pockets, so
it's kind of silly making too much money.
219
00:13:02,708 --> 00:13:04,817
Number 3: .. oh ..
220
00:13:04,937 --> 00:13:06,421
Being a success is a job in itself.
221
00:13:06,860 --> 00:13:09,227
It wouldn't give me the time
to do the things I like to do like ..
222
00:13:09,795 --> 00:13:12,923
reading or .. sitting on a
row-boat out on the lake just ..
223
00:13:13,459 --> 00:13:17,234
thinking .. or watching a tree
bending back and forth in the wind.
224
00:13:17,506 --> 00:13:21,544
But that's a lazy man's philosophy.
� I know it. I'm lazy.
225
00:13:22,539 --> 00:13:23,694
Well, I'll say goodbye.
226
00:13:23,814 --> 00:13:26,182
Now Mr Page, let's not be too hasty.
227
00:13:26,398 --> 00:13:27,638
Now, now Miss Harris ..
228
00:13:27,758 --> 00:13:30,849
If Mr Page doesn't want to take the
course, why that's all there is to it.
229
00:13:31,234 --> 00:13:34,129
As Benjamin Franklin said:
"Let people do what they want".
230
00:13:34,826 --> 00:13:37,324
But I .. I do feel kind of guilty.
231
00:13:37,654 --> 00:13:40,886
After all, if you don't do the course,
you won't get all that's coming to you.
232
00:13:41,425 --> 00:13:43,915
I don't mind. I'm satisfied
with just the 500.
233
00:13:45,193 --> 00:13:47,822
I have it! I know how
to make it up to you.
234
00:13:48,047 --> 00:13:50,469
You said your train doesn't leave
until morning. Well that's fine.
235
00:13:50,589 --> 00:13:52,969
Tonight, I want you to see
New York at my expense.
236
00:13:53,089 --> 00:13:54,218
Miss Harris will show you around.
237
00:13:54,338 --> 00:13:57,014
And I promise you, you'll never
find a more attractive guide.
238
00:13:57,415 --> 00:14:00,018
I'm sure of that. I'd certainly like
that if it's alright with Miss Harris.
239
00:14:00,319 --> 00:14:02,441
Why .. yes, I'd be delighted.
240
00:14:02,778 --> 00:14:07,153
Splendid! Now, first thing we'll
do, is put you up at a fine hotel.
241
00:14:07,688 --> 00:14:10,959
And .. you uh, you do have some clothes?
242
00:14:12,169 --> 00:14:12,798
Yes.
243
00:14:13,437 --> 00:14:15,493
Just a moment, I've got to get my hat.
244
00:14:16,322 --> 00:14:19,064
Uh .. excuse me a minute
Mr Page. I'll be right back.
245
00:14:26,427 --> 00:14:28,709
Don't tell me what is going
on, just let me guess.
246
00:14:28,829 --> 00:14:29,554
I've got an idea what ..
247
00:14:29,674 --> 00:14:31,995
Some idea. You can't let him get away.
248
00:14:32,115 --> 00:14:33,535
Don't you realize if he
doesn't take the course ..
249
00:14:33,655 --> 00:14:35,375
This place will smell of
mothballs in a week?
250
00:14:35,495 --> 00:14:37,939
I know that, but I also know
what kind of a person he is.
251
00:14:38,174 --> 00:14:39,700
We're not going to change
him by arguing with him.
252
00:14:40,028 --> 00:14:41,437
He's too contented, too satisfied.
253
00:14:41,660 --> 00:14:43,280
Well it's not going to help
matters by agreeing with him.
254
00:14:43,655 --> 00:14:47,629
I'm not. But the first thing we got to do
is make him dissatisfied with his life.
255
00:14:47,899 --> 00:14:51,843
And the best way of doing that is to show
him New York from Avenue "A" to the zoo.
256
00:14:52,086 --> 00:14:54,891
By 5 o'clock tomorrow morning he won't
even want to look at sleepy-hollow again.
257
00:14:55,278 --> 00:14:57,599
That's fine .. but why am I elected?
258
00:14:58,191 --> 00:15:01,703
Darling .. if he stays, we'll be on
our honeymoon in three months.
259
00:15:02,904 --> 00:15:06,406
I'll take you to Guatemala .. oh
it's wonderful down there.
260
00:15:06,894 --> 00:15:10,679
You lie in bed, you reach out your
window .. and pick yourself an orchid.
261
00:15:11,205 --> 00:15:12,983
That's the kind of gardening I like.
262
00:15:15,208 --> 00:15:16,297
Come on. Get your hat.
263
00:15:43,944 --> 00:15:47,334
Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?
� Bad? It was swell.
264
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:49,635
Dancing with you is easy.
265
00:15:55,003 --> 00:15:57,067
How about champagne?
� Oh, thank you.
266
00:15:59,264 --> 00:16:02,741
Well .. there it is Mr Page.
Manhattan at your feet.
267
00:16:04,450 --> 00:16:06,478
Looks like the sky turned upside down.
268
00:16:07,070 --> 00:16:10,121
It's thrilling isn't it .. doesn't it
make you want to be a part of it?
269
00:16:11,286 --> 00:16:13,135
Nope .. not me.
270
00:16:19,189 --> 00:16:21,302
Look at that poor old fellow
over there sitting by himself.
271
00:16:28,437 --> 00:16:32,043
I've seen him some place before.
� He shouldn't be up here, all alone.
272
00:16:33,191 --> 00:16:36,208
I'm going over to ask him to join us.
� I wouldn't if I were you. He might ..
273
00:16:36,539 --> 00:16:38,965
I hate to see anyone looking
lonely like that. Excuse me.
274
00:16:41,541 --> 00:16:43,803
A little more, sir?
� No, no. Get away, all of you.
275
00:16:44,104 --> 00:16:47,407
And don't hang around like a
flock of pygmies. Go on, go on.
276
00:16:50,451 --> 00:16:51,336
Hello.
277
00:16:52,118 --> 00:16:52,991
Well, what do you want?
278
00:16:53,235 --> 00:16:54,193
Nothing, nothing at all.
279
00:16:54,475 --> 00:16:56,353
Well, that's the first anybody
has said that to me.
280
00:16:56,473 --> 00:16:58,054
You just looked lonesome.
I just felt sorry for you.
281
00:16:58,289 --> 00:17:02,374
Sorry for me? Well, that's the second
thing nobody ever said to me.
282
00:17:02,702 --> 00:17:06,320
My name is Tad Page. What's yours?
� James Roger Barker.
283
00:17:06,826 --> 00:17:10,911
I've got an uncle named Jim. That's quite
a coincidence. Glad to know you, Jim.
284
00:17:13,235 --> 00:17:16,061
The reason I came over is to know if
you'd like to join me and my lady friend.
285
00:17:16,181 --> 00:17:17,115
No thank you.
286
00:17:17,417 --> 00:17:20,017
Oh come on Jim. We got a
whole quart of champagne.
287
00:17:20,214 --> 00:17:23,688
We can't drink it all by ourselves.
It's a shame to have it go to waste.
288
00:17:24,063 --> 00:17:26,589
Well, I'm not in the humor for
champagne at this moment.
289
00:17:27,101 --> 00:17:28,856
Come on over, we'll just talk.
290
00:17:29,861 --> 00:17:33,730
Young man, what are you driving at?
� I'm not driving at anything.
291
00:17:34,014 --> 00:17:36,439
It's just that we've
got a saying at home:
292
00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:38,738
"A man eating alone,
is the saddest thing known."
293
00:17:39,094 --> 00:17:41,456
So I just wanted to be neighborly
and came over to ask you to join us.
294
00:17:41,710 --> 00:17:44,109
Well thank you, but I prefer
to remain right here.
295
00:17:44,342 --> 00:17:45,490
Okay Jim, suit yourself.
296
00:17:45,610 --> 00:17:48,222
But if you change your mind,
come on over, you'll be welcome.
297
00:17:48,695 --> 00:17:49,927
Goodbye. I'm glad to have met you.
298
00:17:55,430 --> 00:17:57,082
He didn't feel like coming over.
� No wonder.
299
00:17:57,362 --> 00:18:01,165
I just remembered. Do you know who
that is? That's James Roger Barker.
300
00:18:01,285 --> 00:18:02,440
That's what he said.
301
00:18:03,214 --> 00:18:05,656
He's got more millions than
this champagne has bubbles.
302
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,419
Oh .. I guess that's why he's worried.
303
00:18:31,731 --> 00:18:33,827
I don't believe it.
� It's alright, isn't it?
304
00:18:34,121 --> 00:18:35,917
Alright? Why, of course.
305
00:18:36,245 --> 00:18:38,675
Well, glad you changed your mind Jim.
306
00:18:38,795 --> 00:18:40,529
I'm sorry I was so gruff over there, but ..
307
00:18:40,998 --> 00:18:43,228
It seems that everybody wants
to try to sell me something.
308
00:18:43,348 --> 00:18:45,634
Oh I just want to be friendly,
that's all .. sit down, Jim.
309
00:18:45,889 --> 00:18:47,946
Oh I'm sorry, Miss Harris I'd
like to let know Jim Barker.
310
00:18:48,276 --> 00:18:49,614
How do you do, Mr Barker.
� How do you do.
311
00:18:49,734 --> 00:18:50,893
Sit down.
312
00:18:52,689 --> 00:18:54,966
What are you doing in a place
like this all by yourself?
313
00:18:55,282 --> 00:18:58,928
Well, my doctor ordered me go out
and listen to some music and relax.
314
00:18:59,222 --> 00:19:01,487
That's mighty good
advice. Why don't you?
315
00:19:01,874 --> 00:19:03,893
Relax I mean.
� I am relaxed.
316
00:19:04,316 --> 00:19:08,072
You don't look it. You know how
I relax? It's simple but it works.
317
00:19:08,192 --> 00:19:11,523
Think of a piece of raw liver.
You know, raw liver.
318
00:19:13,005 --> 00:19:14,096
Uhhh ..
319
00:19:15,705 --> 00:19:16,746
Try it.
320
00:19:20,270 --> 00:19:21,385
Uhhh ..
321
00:19:24,867 --> 00:19:26,381
Say, that's a good scheme.
322
00:19:26,687 --> 00:19:30,442
Some people prefer to think of a jellyfish,
but I get much better results with liver.
323
00:19:32,428 --> 00:19:35,562
Would you excuse me please. I've just
remembered I have to call my sister.
324
00:19:35,797 --> 00:19:37,205
Oh, please don't get up.
325
00:19:50,596 --> 00:19:53,742
Hello .. who?
326
00:19:54,586 --> 00:19:56,219
Oh yeah, yeah. Claire.
327
00:19:57,673 --> 00:19:59,633
At the Havana room, huh?
328
00:20:00,789 --> 00:20:02,543
James Roger Barker, yeah.
329
00:20:03,782 --> 00:20:05,413
James Roger Barker!
330
00:20:05,801 --> 00:20:08,864
Well, well do something.
Get a photographer.
331
00:20:09,122 --> 00:20:10,930
I called Charlie, he's on his way over.
332
00:20:11,050 --> 00:20:15,001
You should see Barker. He hasn't smiled
in four years and he's in there laughing.
333
00:20:15,256 --> 00:20:17,064
Imagine! I talk to that
boy for five minutes ..
334
00:20:17,184 --> 00:20:20,538
And he goes right out and makes a
friend of Barker. Why, it's amazing!
335
00:20:20,820 --> 00:20:25,714
It sure is! .. Yes .. Yes .. Yes, okay.
336
00:20:27,686 --> 00:20:28,942
So he took another look.
337
00:20:29,165 --> 00:20:31,313
He said "that ain't a
bear, that's a moose".
338
00:20:33,745 --> 00:20:34,989
Ah, that's better.
339
00:20:35,763 --> 00:20:38,306
You know, I shouldn't
feel this good, but I do.
340
00:20:38,576 --> 00:20:41,968
It's the champagne.
� Oh no, I've only had two glasses.
341
00:20:42,757 --> 00:20:44,095
It's you.
� Me?
342
00:20:44,318 --> 00:20:46,407
Yeah .. you know you're
so darned happy ..
343
00:20:46,654 --> 00:20:48,954
A fellow can't be in your
company without catching it.
344
00:20:49,859 --> 00:20:53,322
I don't see any point in being
any other way .. Here you are.
345
00:20:57,873 --> 00:20:58,557
Oh Charlie.
346
00:20:58,850 --> 00:21:00,660
Hello Claire, I've got the
camera under my coat.
347
00:21:01,030 --> 00:21:03,620
I figured if they saw it there, I might
get the bounce. Where are they?
348
00:21:03,740 --> 00:21:04,696
Over here.
349
00:21:10,534 --> 00:21:11,578
With the old man.
350
00:21:11,966 --> 00:21:15,205
So, the farmer said "well,
that's the best I can do".
351
00:21:15,874 --> 00:21:17,905
Now, wait until they look
up, and get a good one.
352
00:21:22,682 --> 00:21:29,074
And he says "good morning, who are
you" and she says "I'm the baby."
353
00:21:40,201 --> 00:21:43,030
Good morning darling.
� Good morning whoever he is.
354
00:21:43,662 --> 00:21:45,033
Ah, good morning Jenny.
355
00:21:48,415 --> 00:21:50,190
Where's Miss Harris?
� She's dressing. She'll be right out.
356
00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:51,120
Oh ..
357
00:21:55,611 --> 00:21:58,221
Claire! You're wonderful.
The picture made page one.
358
00:21:58,727 --> 00:22:00,718
That's fine but ..
� And you know what else happened?
359
00:22:00,999 --> 00:22:04,013
Because of the picture, we've got 42
new enrollments this morning.
360
00:22:04,436 --> 00:22:08,229
And you know what else happened?
Our country cousin is still holding out.
361
00:22:09,308 --> 00:22:11,271
Why, didn't talking to
Barker change him any?
362
00:22:11,646 --> 00:22:13,994
Nope .. but talking to
him changed Barker.
363
00:22:14,257 --> 00:22:17,249
At 2:52 this morning, the old boy
retired from business.
364
00:22:17,593 --> 00:22:19,508
He's going to spend the
rest of his life fishing.
365
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,249
Good morning darling.
� Good morning.
366
00:22:25,347 --> 00:22:25,967
No chance, huh?
367
00:22:26,277 --> 00:22:28,690
I didn't say that. I just said
he was still holding out.
368
00:22:32,081 --> 00:22:33,574
I'll call you.
� Now where are you going?
369
00:22:33,808 --> 00:22:34,710
I'm going to talk to him.
370
00:22:34,982 --> 00:22:37,921
We can't stand by and watch a million
dollars bury itself in the hills of Vermont.
371
00:22:38,041 --> 00:22:40,269
The high pressure won't do any
good. Now come on and sit down.
372
00:22:40,684 --> 00:22:43,776
He's going to call me at 11 o'clock and
we'll know then if it's hello or goodbye.
373
00:22:44,198 --> 00:22:46,189
You mean, there's still hope?
� Oh I don't know.
374
00:22:46,461 --> 00:22:49,015
At 2 o'clock this morning
it was "absolutely not".
375
00:22:49,287 --> 00:22:51,944
At 3 it was "well, it might be
alright for some people".
376
00:22:52,226 --> 00:22:55,090
At 4 it was "maybe" and at 5 ..
� Yeah?
377
00:22:55,595 --> 00:22:56,741
It was still "maybe".
378
00:23:05,972 --> 00:23:06,535
Hello.
379
00:23:06,941 --> 00:23:09,478
"You were called up by Edie. When
you're ready, go ahead please."
380
00:23:10,031 --> 00:23:12,519
Hello .. hello ma ..
381
00:23:12,923 --> 00:23:16,266
Hello son. Where you calling from?
� New York.
382
00:23:16,885 --> 00:23:19,320
I just called to tell you I'm going
to stay down here for a while.
383
00:23:19,646 --> 00:23:22,331
You are? .. What's her name, son?
384
00:23:23,383 --> 00:23:26,998
Can't fool you can I.
Her name is Claire Harris.
385
00:23:27,462 --> 00:23:28,840
You'd be crazy about her.
386
00:23:30,702 --> 00:23:33,399
Yeah, well I thought maybe
Luke could look after the boats.
387
00:23:34,935 --> 00:23:38,296
No, I'm not going to touch that money.
That all goes to the Fire Engine.
388
00:23:38,879 --> 00:23:40,294
They're going to pay my expenses.
389
00:23:40,598 --> 00:23:42,739
Does that mean you have
to take that course he gives?
390
00:23:42,964 --> 00:23:46,279
Well, I've got to go to his classes,
but I don't have to listen.
391
00:23:47,417 --> 00:23:51,257
That's right .. don't worry,
I'll write real soon.
392
00:23:52,483 --> 00:23:55,074
Goodbye ma .. goodbye.
393
00:24:00,436 --> 00:24:01,319
"Number please?"
394
00:24:01,563 --> 00:24:05,375
SU 57398 please.
395
00:24:05,619 --> 00:24:06,605
But it's two minutes after eleven.
396
00:24:06,725 --> 00:24:09,525
Well Dwight, for goodness sakes
you have to allow a few minutes ..
397
00:24:15,049 --> 00:24:17,866
Hello .. oh good morning Mr Page.
398
00:24:19,852 --> 00:24:22,606
Well that's splendid Mr Page.
399
00:24:23,630 --> 00:24:25,282
Alright, see you at class tonight.
400
00:24:28,740 --> 00:24:31,575
Good evening, good evening.
Very glad to have you with us.
401
00:24:31,772 --> 00:24:34,027
"We are indeed".
� Inside sir.
402
00:24:34,683 --> 00:24:35,603
Good evening.
� Good evening.
403
00:24:35,810 --> 00:24:37,265
How are you tonight sir?
� Very fine thank you.
404
00:24:37,385 --> 00:24:40,270
Very glad to have you
with us. Go right on in.
405
00:24:42,570 --> 00:24:43,369
Hello darling, where you been?
406
00:24:43,566 --> 00:24:46,614
Trying to get rid of a splitting headache.
Has Johnny Appleseed shown up yet?
407
00:24:46,918 --> 00:24:48,851
Our worries are over. There he is.
408
00:24:49,133 --> 00:24:51,631
Good. I brought Charlie along.
I thought we could get some pictures.
409
00:24:52,044 --> 00:24:52,983
And if we ..
410
00:24:53,199 --> 00:24:53,744
Leaving already sir?
411
00:24:53,864 --> 00:24:57,163
Yes, I've changed my mind. I don't
think I'll take the course Mr Dawson.
412
00:24:57,283 --> 00:25:00,537
Now come, come. Remember what
Benjamin Franklin always said:
413
00:25:00,776 --> 00:25:03,069
"Never say no until you've
tried something twice."
414
00:25:03,189 --> 00:25:05,229
Of course. Step into my office
and we'll talk this over.
415
00:25:05,349 --> 00:25:07,511
No thanks, I've got to
be going. Goodbye.
416
00:25:08,947 --> 00:25:11,173
Well .. that's the fifth one tonight.
417
00:25:11,697 --> 00:25:14,445
I don't understand it .. we've never
had anything like this before.
418
00:25:14,651 --> 00:25:18,229
There's something else you've
never had before .. Mr Page.
419
00:25:20,334 --> 00:25:24,325
Why you don't have to take this
course .. you're a success already.
420
00:25:24,597 --> 00:25:27,254
Because, according to Mr Dawson's
standards you are a failure ..
421
00:25:27,621 --> 00:25:30,908
That doesn't mean it is so .. maybe
his standards are wrong.
422
00:25:31,285 --> 00:25:34,215
Maybe. Of course, Mr Dawson
is right about one thing.
423
00:25:34,421 --> 00:25:36,449
He says I'm not a go-getter and I'm not.
424
00:25:37,926 --> 00:25:41,823
I've known a lot of go-getters. I've
been pall-bearer to about ten of them.
425
00:25:42,294 --> 00:25:45,702
They're just so darned busy going or
getting, they didn't have time to breathe.
426
00:25:46,697 --> 00:25:50,557
Why, you've got a home, a wife
you like, a family that likes you ..
427
00:25:50,677 --> 00:25:52,047
And plenty of time to enjoy them.
428
00:25:52,576 --> 00:25:55,031
It seems to me you've got
everything that's important.
429
00:25:55,545 --> 00:25:58,526
What more can you ask for?
Two wives? Two families?
430
00:26:01,818 --> 00:26:03,182
It's sabotage, that's what it is.
431
00:26:03,487 --> 00:26:05,482
He's learning how to
influence people awful fast.
432
00:26:05,717 --> 00:26:07,912
Get him out of her. Tell him we want
to take some pictures .. anything.
433
00:26:08,253 --> 00:26:10,108
It will take me an hour to
get these men back in line.
434
00:26:10,425 --> 00:26:13,347
Goodbye. Sure glad I met you Mr Page.
435
00:26:13,711 --> 00:26:14,932
Goodbye.
� Goodbye,
436
00:26:16,199 --> 00:26:17,279
There goes number six.
437
00:26:17,483 --> 00:26:20,232
You'd better hurry, or we're going to
be renting this place out for dancers.
438
00:26:20,703 --> 00:26:22,769
Now, let's take your case Mr Jackson.
439
00:26:23,661 --> 00:26:24,396
Good evening Miss Harris.
440
00:26:24,875 --> 00:26:27,673
Mr Page, I'm sorry to break this up,
but I'd like to talk to you for a minute.
441
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,528
Oh certainly. Excuse me.
See you all later.
442
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:34,050
The newspapers want a story on you, so
could you give me some informati�n.
443
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,247
I'd be glad to. Shall we sit over here?
444
00:26:36,452 --> 00:26:39,550
Oh, it's rather noisy. I thought
maybe we could take a walk.
445
00:26:39,860 --> 00:26:42,871
Well, that'd be wonderful.
I mean, I'll get my hat.
446
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:47,496
I give up .. I guess you
were just born lazy.
447
00:26:47,703 --> 00:26:51,252
Oh no .. I ain't got no respect
for anyone who was born lazy.
448
00:26:51,673 --> 00:26:54,909
That's like being born a King. They
didn't do anything to get there.
449
00:26:55,492 --> 00:26:59,463
Well .. I had to develop it .. It took
me a long time to get where I am.
450
00:26:59,858 --> 00:27:03,576
It must have been a happy day for your
mother when you came to that conclusion.
451
00:27:04,224 --> 00:27:05,482
Yes .. and no.
452
00:27:06,179 --> 00:27:07,127
You see, I had pneumonia.
453
00:27:07,322 --> 00:27:09,982
I was awful sick. They had my
new suit laid out and everything
454
00:27:10,771 --> 00:27:14,095
Right then, I said to myself there
is nothing like being alive.
455
00:27:14,547 --> 00:27:18,315
So, when I got better, I .. just started
living. Nothing else, just living.
456
00:27:18,597 --> 00:27:21,545
Yeah, I felt that way once.
When I was seasick.
457
00:27:21,836 --> 00:27:24,137
The only difference
was, I wanted to die.
458
00:27:24,938 --> 00:27:27,388
Everybody feels like that
when they're on the brink.
459
00:27:27,952 --> 00:27:30,665
The trouble is, when they get
better, they forget all about it.
460
00:27:31,219 --> 00:27:33,201
I did too until I developed my system.
461
00:27:33,566 --> 00:27:35,932
Now I get pneumonia
regularly, twice a year.
462
00:27:36,167 --> 00:27:38,205
What?
� Only pretend of course, but ..
463
00:27:38,842 --> 00:27:42,405
When I begin to worry and fret
that I'm not President, I just ..
464
00:27:42,873 --> 00:27:44,695
Lie down and say "well,
you've got pneumonia".
465
00:27:45,249 --> 00:27:47,925
Then it all comes back to me, and
I just get up and go on living again.
466
00:27:49,221 --> 00:27:51,916
But if everybody lived like that,
nothing would ever be accomplished.
467
00:27:52,150 --> 00:27:53,916
I wouldn't say that. There's lots of ..
468
00:27:54,948 --> 00:27:56,573
You got a headache?
� A beauty.
469
00:27:57,014 --> 00:27:58,301
That's too bad.
470
00:27:59,052 --> 00:28:00,621
I'll fix it for you. Come
over here and sit down.
471
00:28:01,325 --> 00:28:02,433
Now wait a minute.
472
00:28:02,902 --> 00:28:06,274
Are you one of those people who tell me
to look away and then twist my head off?
473
00:28:06,554 --> 00:28:08,687
No, no. It's simple. Just sit down.
474
00:28:11,357 --> 00:28:13,355
Now just .. lean back and relax.
475
00:28:16,127 --> 00:28:17,148
That's fine.
476
00:28:19,427 --> 00:28:21,830
I'm just going to loosen
up the neck muscles.
477
00:28:22,221 --> 00:28:26,322
Now just close your eyes .. and imagine
your head is the second hand on a watch.
478
00:28:26,654 --> 00:28:30,643
And just let it go round ..
and .. round .. slowly.
479
00:28:31,735 --> 00:28:34,375
Like this?
� That's it. Just keep it going round.
480
00:28:35,180 --> 00:28:37,644
It seems awfully silly.
Are you sure it works?
481
00:28:38,478 --> 00:28:40,634
This is what an aspirin does
when it's got a headache.
482
00:28:41,363 --> 00:28:42,933
Keep it going around.
483
00:28:43,587 --> 00:28:50,186
The next thing is to imagine a .. nice
quiet lake. A .. soft .. blue .. sky.
484
00:28:50,546 --> 00:28:52,173
You mind a few ducks flying around?
485
00:28:52,558 --> 00:28:54,819
Not if they are not flying too fast.
� Okay.
486
00:28:55,654 --> 00:28:56,988
Take it easy ducks ..
487
00:28:59,853 --> 00:29:02,219
Now then .. what were
we talking about before?
488
00:29:02,679 --> 00:29:05,609
Oh about people like you slowing
down the wheels of progress.
489
00:29:05,815 --> 00:29:07,712
That's right .. well, you're all wrong.
490
00:29:08,276 --> 00:29:10,642
Did you ever stop to thing what
the world owes to the lazy man?
491
00:29:11,926 --> 00:29:13,757
They say that necessity is
the mother of invention.
492
00:29:13,877 --> 00:29:16,780
And if that's the case,
laziness must be the father.
493
00:29:17,851 --> 00:29:20,846
Well just think back to a long time ago,
when people used to live in caves.
494
00:29:21,214 --> 00:29:22,926
What did they do when they
wanted a drink of water?
495
00:29:23,236 --> 00:29:25,480
They walked down to the river.
� That's right.
496
00:29:25,987 --> 00:29:28,804
But sometimes the river was a mile
or two away. They did a lot of walking.
497
00:29:29,201 --> 00:29:31,097
Especially if they just
had fish for breakfast.
498
00:29:32,008 --> 00:29:34,036
Now, the go-getter,
he didn't mind walking.
499
00:29:34,233 --> 00:29:35,632
But there was one fellow,
he was awful lazy.
500
00:29:35,752 --> 00:29:38,049
He didn't like that running back
and forth. So what did he do?
501
00:29:39,018 --> 00:29:42,315
He figured out a way to bring back
a whole day's supply in one crack.
502
00:29:42,934 --> 00:29:43,995
He invented the bucket!
503
00:29:45,594 --> 00:29:50,139
Today we've got pots and
pans .. glasses .. and .. bathtubs.
504
00:29:50,684 --> 00:29:52,207
But it all started with that bucket.
505
00:29:52,527 --> 00:29:55,325
Well, that may be so, but
that's only one instance.
506
00:29:56,208 --> 00:29:58,585
Alright, what about the boys
that built the pyramids?
507
00:29:59,728 --> 00:30:03,597
They used to load those big, heavy
stones on a sort of flat-bottom sled ..
508
00:30:03,717 --> 00:30:06,217
And then a couple of thousand of them
would break their backs pulling it.
509
00:30:07,053 --> 00:30:10,536
But there was one lazy guy in that
road gang, and he said "look fellows .."
510
00:30:11,390 --> 00:30:15,056
"This is too much work". He said
"let's find some flat stones and .."
511
00:30:15,612 --> 00:30:19,255
"Cut them sort of round and put one at
each corner and the thing would roll".
512
00:30:20,109 --> 00:30:24,429
If it wasn't for that no-good, worthless,
lazy lout, you wouldn't have wheels.
513
00:30:25,181 --> 00:30:30,026
Then you wouldn't have wagons ..
or automobiles or trains or ..
514
00:30:34,451 --> 00:30:35,484
Miss Harris.
515
00:31:00,643 --> 00:31:02,890
Miss Harris in Jenny?
� No Mr Dawson, she ain't home yet.
516
00:31:03,124 --> 00:31:05,587
Where do you suppose she is?
I hoped she'd call me a half-hour ago.
517
00:31:05,707 --> 00:31:08,000
She should be back directly.
You want to step in and wait?
518
00:31:08,976 --> 00:31:10,497
Yeah, thanks. I will.
519
00:31:16,537 --> 00:31:18,744
Go ahead .. I'm listening.
520
00:31:19,382 --> 00:31:20,490
I didn't say anything.
521
00:31:20,744 --> 00:31:23,448
You .. you were talking
about the pyramids.
522
00:31:24,223 --> 00:31:27,095
Oh, that was an hour ago.
You've been asleep.
523
00:31:29,118 --> 00:31:30,198
I have?
524
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,226
What have you been doing?
� Just looking at you.
525
00:31:34,874 --> 00:31:38,838
Why, I can't understand it. I've
never dozed off like that before.
526
00:31:39,096 --> 00:31:41,901
You've never been relaxed
before. How's your headache?
527
00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:47,746
It's gone! Say, that revolving door
technique really works. Thanks Mr Page.
528
00:31:48,606 --> 00:31:50,507
After sleeping on my
shoulder for an hour ..
529
00:31:50,627 --> 00:31:52,968
I think we can dispense with
the "Mr Page", don't you?
530
00:31:53,238 --> 00:31:55,374
Alright, thanks .. Thadeus.
531
00:31:55,632 --> 00:31:58,907
Oh, that's worse. Try "Tad".
� Thanks Tad.
532
00:31:59,181 --> 00:32:01,172
That's better .. much better.
533
00:32:03,484 --> 00:32:06,864
You should work hard and get ahead
so you can give yourself security.
534
00:32:07,127 --> 00:32:07,813
Why?
535
00:32:08,019 --> 00:32:12,433
So you can retire someday, get a home
in the country, and enjoy your leisure.
536
00:32:12,734 --> 00:32:16,578
But I've got a home in the country,
and all the leisure I want.
537
00:32:17,497 --> 00:32:21,347
Seems sort of silly to me, to go round the
barn to get something you've already got.
538
00:32:22,098 --> 00:32:24,314
Is this your house?
� Yes, I have an apartment here.
539
00:32:24,434 --> 00:32:27,393
Oh looks nice.
� What about your mother?
540
00:32:27,942 --> 00:32:30,454
Wouldn't you like to be able to give
her all the things she's wanted?
541
00:32:30,701 --> 00:32:33,424
She's got them. She likes
the same things I do.
542
00:32:33,843 --> 00:32:36,941
But .. someday .. you might
meet a girl you like ..
543
00:32:38,338 --> 00:32:41,562
Yes, I might.
� How's she going to feel about it?
544
00:32:42,583 --> 00:32:45,916
Well, I've been wondering.
� You mean, you have met somebody?
545
00:32:46,274 --> 00:32:49,900
Oh .. you in love with her?
� Yep .. I sure am.
546
00:32:50,652 --> 00:32:52,389
Somebody back home?
547
00:32:54,865 --> 00:33:00,545
Yes .. her name is .. Hazel.
� Hazel.
548
00:33:02,158 --> 00:33:04,740
She's the loveliest thing I've
ever bumped up against.
549
00:33:05,736 --> 00:33:08,396
Well, some day you must
tell me more about Hazel.
550
00:33:08,893 --> 00:33:10,950
Some day I will.
� Well, goodnight Tad.
551
00:33:11,251 --> 00:33:13,251
Goodnight Claire.
� Goodnight.
552
00:33:23,033 --> 00:33:25,155
Darling, I've been worried about
you. Where have you been?
553
00:33:26,545 --> 00:33:28,836
Finding out if Achilles had a heel.
� Well, has he?
554
00:33:29,061 --> 00:33:31,814
Uhuh .. some hometown
doll by the name of Hazel.
555
00:33:33,157 --> 00:33:36,458
"Love!" Of course, why didn't
I think of that before?
556
00:33:36,578 --> 00:33:38,674
The greatest driving force
the world has ever known.
557
00:33:38,794 --> 00:33:41,688
Makes giants out of weaklings,
commoners out of Kings.
558
00:33:42,186 --> 00:33:46,033
Sure. Give him lecture 37 about working
and winning for the little woman ..
559
00:33:46,437 --> 00:33:47,876
And you'll have him right in the sack.
560
00:33:48,818 --> 00:33:50,856
Well, you sound as if you thought
I was taking advantage of him.
561
00:33:51,260 --> 00:33:54,837
No, it's not that .. it's just that I
found out something tonight.
562
00:33:55,147 --> 00:33:59,409
We didn't pick a great failure. We picked
the happiest guy in the United States.
563
00:33:59,672 --> 00:34:02,038
Well, that's fine. With a little
success he'll be twice as happy.
564
00:34:02,461 --> 00:34:06,987
I hope so. He's such a sweet, honest
yokel, I'd hate to feel we changed him.
565
00:34:07,487 --> 00:34:09,130
Where he's concerned, any
change is for the better.
566
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:10,858
Huh .. I wonder.
567
00:34:11,167 --> 00:34:13,806
Don't worry about it .. I'll talk to
him first thing in the morning.
568
00:34:14,313 --> 00:34:17,064
You know .. he's the most
trusting, naive sort of ..
569
00:34:17,308 --> 00:34:20,444
Will you stop worrying about him.
� I'm not worrying about him.
570
00:34:20,835 --> 00:34:22,236
I talked to Collins at the
bank this morning.
571
00:34:22,354 --> 00:34:24,853
He's going to give me 90 days more
on that note. On one condition.
572
00:34:25,182 --> 00:34:28,252
That we keep showing new enrollments.
If they stop, so does the extension.
573
00:34:28,742 --> 00:34:32,048
So we got to do everything in
.. our power .. to see that ..
574
00:34:33,418 --> 00:34:35,296
What are you doing?
� Just relaxing.
575
00:34:35,712 --> 00:34:37,468
It's wonderful, you ought to try it.
576
00:34:37,994 --> 00:34:40,754
Just .. just close your eyes.
577
00:34:40,980 --> 00:34:43,524
And imagine your head is
a second hand on a watch.
578
00:34:43,853 --> 00:34:47,743
And let it go round ..
and .. round .. slowly.
579
00:34:48,741 --> 00:34:49,868
That's it.
580
00:34:50,281 --> 00:34:56,426
Now .. now think of a quiet
lake with a soft .. blue .. sky.
581
00:34:56,839 --> 00:35:01,065
And no one around for miles and miles ..
582
00:35:05,555 --> 00:35:07,358
You'll find these books very fascinating.
583
00:35:07,950 --> 00:35:09,537
If I were you, I wouldn't waste
a moment getting to them.
584
00:35:09,818 --> 00:35:13,833
Well, right now I'm reading Aristotle,
but as soon as I finish I'll dig right in.
585
00:35:14,048 --> 00:35:14,743
That's fine.
586
00:35:14,987 --> 00:35:17,081
Thanks and goodbye Mr Dawson.
I'll see you in class tonight.
587
00:35:17,201 --> 00:35:19,457
You bet .. goodbye Mr Page.
588
00:35:21,075 --> 00:35:26,136
Well, what do you know about that.
� Speaking to me, Mr Dawson?
589
00:35:26,561 --> 00:35:30,730
Hmm? Oh no, no. I was just reading a
letter from a former student of mine.
590
00:35:31,087 --> 00:35:32,814
Oh .. well goodbye.
591
00:35:33,058 --> 00:35:35,941
It was .. a very interesting case.
592
00:35:36,714 --> 00:35:38,104
This boy was in love with a girl ..
593
00:35:38,949 --> 00:35:42,630
Wanted to marry her, he wasn't earning
very much, so she kept putting him off.
594
00:35:43,822 --> 00:35:47,596
Then he came to me and took the course,
and stepped right into a big job.
595
00:35:48,273 --> 00:35:49,690
They were married shortly after that.
596
00:35:51,427 --> 00:35:56,150
And now he tells me they've just
had their first baby .. a fine big boy.
597
00:35:57,004 --> 00:35:59,671
You mean, she wouldn't marry him
because he didn't have much money?
598
00:36:00,638 --> 00:36:01,478
Yes, that's right.
599
00:36:01,821 --> 00:36:05,354
Well, if she's that kind of girl, he'd be
better off marrying somebody else.
600
00:36:05,690 --> 00:36:09,432
I'm afraid Mr Page, you're looking
at it only from the male point of view.
601
00:36:09,835 --> 00:36:11,723
You've got to consider the
woman's side of it too.
602
00:36:12,474 --> 00:36:13,676
Marriage is a partnership.
603
00:36:14,343 --> 00:36:18,183
And it would be bad business to form a
partnership with someone who is insecure.
604
00:36:19,657 --> 00:36:23,082
Maybe he's someone who feels that way ..
� No, they all do.
605
00:36:24,181 --> 00:36:26,690
You don't have to take my word
for it. Ask any woman you meet.
606
00:36:27,386 --> 00:36:28,578
A matter of simple logic.
607
00:36:29,154 --> 00:36:33,628
But after all, he did marry the woman,
so why should we worry about it.
608
00:36:34,221 --> 00:36:35,836
That's right.
� You bet.
609
00:36:36,672 --> 00:36:39,399
Well .. bye.
� Goodbye Mr Page.
610
00:36:39,789 --> 00:36:42,441
See you tonight.
� Yes ... yes.
611
00:36:55,283 --> 00:37:01,420
So, we must be aware of the many pitfalls
that lie in wait for the public speaker.
612
00:37:01,799 --> 00:37:06,592
The most important of these and the most
difficult to overcome is .. monotony.
613
00:37:07,193 --> 00:37:11,385
And so tonight, we shall learn
voice modulation and expression.
614
00:37:11,836 --> 00:37:15,488
To illustrate, I shall recite
first .. with passion.
615
00:37:16,897 --> 00:37:21,969
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall.
Humpty Dumpy had a great fall.
616
00:37:22,608 --> 00:37:27,229
And all the King's horses and
all the .. the King's men.
617
00:37:28,795 --> 00:37:33,888
So the poor little dog
had .. together .. again.
618
00:37:34,265 --> 00:37:36,617
An excellent speech Mr Mills.
� Thank you Mr Hunter. Goodnight.
619
00:37:36,834 --> 00:37:39,471
Miss Snyder, don't worry about that
nervousness. You'll get over it in no time.
620
00:37:39,683 --> 00:37:42,141
Goodnight.
� Goodnight.
621
00:37:42,596 --> 00:37:45,639
And .. I got to thinking that ..
622
00:37:46,046 --> 00:37:48,788
Hazel has a right to expect
the better things in life so ..
623
00:37:49,757 --> 00:37:52,964
I figured that in order to give
them to her, I'd better change.
624
00:37:53,221 --> 00:37:54,746
Change is hardly the word.
625
00:37:55,384 --> 00:37:56,857
Do you like it?
� Very much.
626
00:37:57,262 --> 00:37:59,846
It's called the "Junior Executive" model.
627
00:38:00,397 --> 00:38:02,530
It fits fine .. the shirt's
a little tight though.
628
00:38:03,176 --> 00:38:05,662
That's why I was late. I couldn't
get the darned thing buttoned.
629
00:38:06,364 --> 00:38:08,598
So you've decided to actually
go to work for Hazel ..
630
00:38:09,019 --> 00:38:09,522
Yep.
631
00:38:09,642 --> 00:38:11,040
You must be awfully fond of her.
632
00:38:11,552 --> 00:38:14,594
Well . I guess you'll do an
awful lot for somebody to love.
633
00:38:14,790 --> 00:38:16,961
You sure will .. I ought to know.
634
00:38:17,494 --> 00:38:19,161
Well .. goodnight Tad.
635
00:38:20,386 --> 00:38:22,083
Uh .. Claire ..
636
00:38:24,765 --> 00:38:26,959
You .. you mean you're in
love with someone too?
637
00:38:27,274 --> 00:38:30,531
Oh yes, very much. It's a
wonderful feeling, isn't it.
638
00:38:32,153 --> 00:38:34,704
It sure is.
� Well, goodnight Tad.
639
00:38:35,352 --> 00:38:36,696
Goodnight.
640
00:38:38,830 --> 00:38:39,423
Goodnight.
641
00:38:39,724 --> 00:38:41,196
I'll meet you in the office
Dwight. I have to file these.
642
00:38:41,444 --> 00:38:42,217
Won't be a minute.
643
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,073
Well Hunter, may as well
turn out the lights I guess.
644
00:38:44,193 --> 00:38:47,402
A successful session, don't you think?
� Very .. by the way, though.
645
00:38:47,989 --> 00:38:50,743
Watch Mr Mallard's smile. It seems
just a little bit forced to me.
646
00:38:50,863 --> 00:38:55,694
You know I felt that too .. a little
more of this .. and not so much ..
647
00:38:56,038 --> 00:38:58,690
That's it .. that's it exactly.
Wait a minute.
648
00:39:00,169 --> 00:39:01,393
Looks like Mr Page.
649
00:39:04,227 --> 00:39:05,678
Waiting to see me, Mr Page?
650
00:39:06,345 --> 00:39:09,350
No, I was just sitting and thinking .. I ..
651
00:39:10,584 --> 00:39:13,145
Oh that's perfectly alright. Mr Hunter
is here to help, the same as I.
652
00:39:13,371 --> 00:39:16,037
Why of course, I want you to
look upon me as a big brother.
653
00:39:16,730 --> 00:39:20,374
Well .. I don't think I'm going
to take the course after all.
654
00:39:21,905 --> 00:39:26,075
Now, Mr Page. You're just discouraged
because you were a little nervous tonight.
655
00:39:26,564 --> 00:39:29,726
It's not that .. I've lost my incentive.
656
00:39:30,380 --> 00:39:34,888
You see, the reason I changed was because
there is .. someone I'm in love with.
657
00:39:35,300 --> 00:39:37,717
Yes I know. Miss Harris told me.
Hazel is her name isn't it?
658
00:39:37,991 --> 00:39:39,510
A beautiful name, Hazel.
659
00:39:40,956 --> 00:39:41,904
There isn't any Hazel.
660
00:39:42,158 --> 00:39:46,174
That is .. Miss Harris is really
Hazel only she doesn't know it.
661
00:39:47,059 --> 00:39:49,137
I didn't have nerve enough
to tell her so uh ..
662
00:39:49,677 --> 00:39:51,884
I just made up a name.
663
00:39:54,926 --> 00:39:55,977
How jolly.
664
00:39:59,658 --> 00:40:02,146
Do you mean you are
in love with Miss Harris?
665
00:40:02,454 --> 00:40:06,153
You bet. Only, I just talked to
her and found out it's hopeless.
666
00:40:06,510 --> 00:40:08,520
She likes somebody else.
667
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,345
Did she say who?
� No.
668
00:40:14,155 --> 00:40:18,409
Well .. I'm certainly glad you
talked this over with me first.
669
00:40:18,709 --> 00:40:22,719
Why, there's absolutely no
reason to be downhearted.
670
00:40:22,839 --> 00:40:24,428
It just means that you got
to double your efforts.
671
00:40:24,681 --> 00:40:26,982
Exactly. It means you have
to work twice as hard.
672
00:40:27,207 --> 00:40:30,137
But if she's fond of somebody else ..
� Mr Page ..
673
00:40:30,372 --> 00:40:33,086
You have absolutely no worries whatsoever.
674
00:40:33,367 --> 00:40:37,055
I happen to know this other man.
� You do? What's he like?
675
00:40:37,259 --> 00:40:40,978
Why he's short, he's fat,
he has lots of double-chins.
676
00:40:41,290 --> 00:40:44,933
Practically no hair. Most unattractive
really. Almost a ghoul.
677
00:40:45,196 --> 00:40:48,849
She still loves him though.
� Believe me Mr Page .. she doesn't.
678
00:40:49,349 --> 00:40:51,537
Like most women, she
likes to think she's in love.
679
00:40:52,015 --> 00:40:55,020
Why, this man is from Hoboken.
She rarely sees him.
680
00:40:55,442 --> 00:40:57,618
Well, I wouldn't want to
come between two people ..
681
00:40:57,738 --> 00:41:00,632
Did Mark Anthony step aside
and let Caesar take Cleopatra?
682
00:41:00,829 --> 00:41:05,590
Exactly. And did whatsisname "Romeo"
let Juliette run away with Tybalt?
683
00:41:05,968 --> 00:41:08,194
No, no, no. Not at all Mr Page.
684
00:41:08,533 --> 00:41:11,172
You have to throw down the gauntlet,
you have to accept the challenge.
685
00:41:11,425 --> 00:41:15,294
Absolutely! As Benjamin
Franklin so wisely said ..
686
00:41:15,529 --> 00:41:17,606
"None but the brave deserve the fair."
687
00:41:17,726 --> 00:41:20,071
Exactly, none but the brave, no one else.
688
00:41:20,191 --> 00:41:23,475
It means that you've got to work hard and
prove to her that you're the better man.
689
00:41:23,944 --> 00:41:26,043
And we're here to help you.
We'll give you private lessons.
690
00:41:26,162 --> 00:41:27,708
Indeed we will, but ..
691
00:41:28,036 --> 00:41:32,379
You must apply yourself to become the
type of man she admires and respects.
692
00:41:32,755 --> 00:41:35,806
You must all your .. your personality.
693
00:41:52,434 --> 00:41:54,277
Pretty good .. but a little firmer.
694
00:41:56,554 --> 00:41:57,775
Don't forget to smile.
695
00:41:59,937 --> 00:42:01,791
Excellent, excellent.
696
00:42:38,569 --> 00:42:39,754
There!
697
00:42:40,153 --> 00:42:44,304
Hmm, hmm, ain't that beautiful.
� I guess I spelled everything right.
698
00:42:44,621 --> 00:42:46,006
Can't improve it by me.
699
00:42:46,865 --> 00:42:49,483
I'll go Jenny, it's probably Mr Dawson.
� Yes, ma'am.
700
00:42:55,376 --> 00:42:57,324
Happy birthday darling.
701
00:42:59,454 --> 00:43:01,825
You know that makes me on 33 with ????
� How many?
702
00:43:02,424 --> 00:43:04,560
That last kiss took 5 years off my life.
703
00:43:05,634 --> 00:43:08,265
Hey careful, I'll be too young to vote.
Come on, get your coat, we're going out.
704
00:43:08,544 --> 00:43:11,633
Oh no, you're staying here. I'm
giving you a surprise party.
705
00:43:12,769 --> 00:43:13,696
A surprise party?
706
00:43:13,919 --> 00:43:17,206
Yes, I had to. Hunter and the bunch
wanted to do something for you.
707
00:43:17,491 --> 00:43:20,073
Oh .. oh I thought we'd go out
some place, just the two of us.
708
00:43:20,322 --> 00:43:23,301
Oh I'd love to darling, nothing
I'd like better, you know that.
709
00:43:23,711 --> 00:43:25,472
It's just one of those things
I couldn't get out of.
710
00:43:25,824 --> 00:43:28,670
We'll just have to be satisfied with
a few minutes before they get here.
711
00:43:29,462 --> 00:43:30,739
Come on, I've got something to show you.
712
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,170
Well, I'm glad you warned me.
Now, when the others arrive ..
713
00:43:33,290 --> 00:43:36,760
I can say "my, isn't this wonderful"
instead of "what you doing here?".
714
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,987
Happy birthday Mr Dawson.
� Thank you Jenny.
715
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,378
Jenny, would you put Mr Dawson's
coat in the bedroom please.
716
00:43:41,672 --> 00:43:43,741
And take this wine into the living room.
� Yes ma'am.
717
00:43:46,183 --> 00:43:49,285
There, Jenny made it with her lily
white hands but the lyrics are mine.
718
00:43:49,405 --> 00:43:51,467
Why that's wonderful, wonderful.
719
00:43:52,073 --> 00:43:53,613
Oh..
� What's the matter?
720
00:43:53,980 --> 00:43:56,923
It doesn't say you love me. And there is
room for two more "darlings" right there.
721
00:43:57,466 --> 00:44:00,785
Okay, anything to please. Can
you stand a little good news?
722
00:44:01,093 --> 00:44:01,577
I certainly can.
723
00:44:01,827 --> 00:44:04,893
I arranged with Peak Magazine to run
a double spread on our boy-wonder.
724
00:44:05,392 --> 00:44:07,666
Now that is the nicest
present I've had today.
725
00:44:07,786 --> 00:44:11,965
That's only the wrapping. NOW magazine
wants a whole section on him. 8 pages.
726
00:44:12,339 --> 00:44:14,833
NOW? Why they have a
circulation of three million.
727
00:44:15,082 --> 00:44:17,063
Which means a reading
public of ten million.
728
00:44:17,723 --> 00:44:20,245
Ten million! Will they use
pictures of the school?
729
00:44:20,499 --> 00:44:22,624
They're going to treat it in
a Horatio Alger manner.
730
00:44:22,744 --> 00:44:25,262
A small town boy makes good in the
big city, with the help of Dawson.
731
00:44:25,788 --> 00:44:27,281
On one condition.
732
00:44:27,873 --> 00:44:28,746
Don't tell me we have to pay for it?
733
00:44:28,971 --> 00:44:31,595
No, no. But the editor pointed something
out to me and he's quite right.
734
00:44:32,353 --> 00:44:35,105
The story's got to have a big finish.
Just graduating isn't enough.
735
00:44:35,461 --> 00:44:38,635
He's got to have a job so the public will
know that Dawson did him some good.
736
00:44:38,851 --> 00:44:42,241
Of course, of course, he'll get a job as
soon as he graduates. All my students do.
737
00:44:42,666 --> 00:44:46,164
Yes, but he doesn't graduate for ten days
and NOW goes to press on Thursday.
738
00:44:46,630 --> 00:44:50,227
Oh .. then we got to do
something immediately.
739
00:44:50,347 --> 00:44:53,476
Yeah, I did this morning. I think
I got him a job with Security Life.
740
00:44:54,059 --> 00:44:55,702
Third district manager
in charge of sales.
741
00:44:55,965 --> 00:44:58,407
Why that's marvelous.
Third district manager ..
742
00:44:58,623 --> 00:45:01,336
He's just a junior salesman. The
title is something I cooked up.
743
00:45:01,637 --> 00:45:02,951
It will look impressive in print.
744
00:45:03,825 --> 00:45:07,195
There. Is that better? I added two
more "darlings" and "I love you".
745
00:45:07,486 --> 00:45:09,223
Yeah, that's fine.
� Now, shall we have our drink?
746
00:45:09,852 --> 00:45:13,385
Say .. I bet the insurance company was
glad to get a Dawson-trained man, huh?
747
00:45:13,639 --> 00:45:15,704
Well, they didn't exactly
declare a holiday.
748
00:45:16,042 --> 00:45:19,103
When I pointed out they would be getting
a lot of free publicity they went for it.
749
00:45:19,385 --> 00:45:20,483
At least I hope so.
750
00:45:20,699 --> 00:45:23,037
We won't find out until tomorrow
so don't say anything to Tad yet.
751
00:45:23,469 --> 00:45:26,756
Will you open that?
� Yeah, sure.
752
00:45:28,603 --> 00:45:29,673
You know, I'm just thinking.
753
00:45:30,396 --> 00:45:34,565
If ten million people see it, surely one
out of 2000 will want to take the course.
754
00:45:35,335 --> 00:45:37,050
That's 5,000 students.
755
00:45:37,310 --> 00:45:40,793
At 80 dollars a head that's four hundred
thousand dollars. Darling, I love you.
756
00:45:41,377 --> 00:45:44,475
Well you might at least take a
breath before "darling I love you".
757
00:45:44,682 --> 00:45:46,682
Oh I'm sorry sweetheart,
I didn't mean it that way.
758
00:45:47,226 --> 00:45:50,832
What do we drink to?
� Ah .. to .. to success.
759
00:45:51,060 --> 00:45:53,501
Ah no. Champagne and
business don't go together.
760
00:45:54,168 --> 00:45:57,726
To our honeymoon in Guatemala.
� Uh .. that's what I meant.
761
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,010
Success to us .. to Guatemala.
762
00:46:05,741 --> 00:46:10,062
You'd better watch out tonight. You know,
champagne makes me awfully affectionate.
763
00:46:10,288 --> 00:46:11,619
Oh that's wonderful. Drink some more.
764
00:46:13,638 --> 00:46:15,732
Oh there they are, now don't
forget to look surprised.
765
00:46:16,004 --> 00:46:17,822
Like this?
� That will do.
766
00:46:20,617 --> 00:46:23,453
Surprise Dwight, surprise, surprise!
767
00:46:24,533 --> 00:46:26,600
Well, this is a surprise.
768
00:46:27,890 --> 00:46:29,843
Isn't it .. what did I tell you?
769
00:46:30,726 --> 00:46:32,069
I never expected it for a moment.
770
00:46:32,500 --> 00:46:34,005
I never expected it for a moment.
771
00:46:34,125 --> 00:46:35,404
You could knock me over with a feather.
772
00:46:35,524 --> 00:46:36,925
Why, you could knock me over with a feather.
773
00:46:37,122 --> 00:46:38,831
Why don't you all go home.
� Why don't you all go ..
774
00:46:44,231 --> 00:46:46,240
Why just bring your things right in here.
775
00:46:49,724 --> 00:46:51,119
Happy birthday Dwight.
� Thank you Horace.
776
00:46:51,770 --> 00:46:55,501
Dwight, I have been working all
afternoon with Mr Page on that speech.
777
00:46:55,621 --> 00:46:58,319
And he is hopeless. I wouldn't
put him on the air if I were you.
778
00:46:58,439 --> 00:46:59,793
All he can do is discourage people.
779
00:46:59,990 --> 00:47:01,727
I'm canceling the broadcast.
We don't need it.
780
00:47:01,847 --> 00:47:04,267
We're getting an eight page
spread in NOW magazine.
781
00:47:04,561 --> 00:47:05,230
NOW?
782
00:47:05,533 --> 00:47:07,373
Yes, yes.
� Why, that's marvelous.
783
00:47:07,493 --> 00:47:08,265
It's wonderful.
784
00:47:08,585 --> 00:47:11,373
If he doesn't find out about the man
from Hoboken in the meantime.
785
00:47:11,493 --> 00:47:14,684
The issue comes out a week tomorrow. If
we can keep him in the dark until then ..
786
00:47:14,804 --> 00:47:15,723
Everything will be alright.
787
00:47:15,842 --> 00:47:18,741
Oh that was awfully close last night
when Claire called you "darling".
788
00:47:18,861 --> 00:47:20,309
Oh, it's lucky he didn't hear it.
789
00:47:20,527 --> 00:47:23,128
Look Horace, let's not
worry about Mr Page now,
790
00:47:23,248 --> 00:47:25,575
Le's just have a good time.
I feel wonderful tonight.
791
00:47:27,072 --> 00:47:28,152
Oh, I'll get it.
792
00:47:31,385 --> 00:47:34,073
Surprise! .. Happy birthday.
793
00:47:35,247 --> 00:47:36,712
Thanks.
� Hello Tad.
794
00:47:37,031 --> 00:47:39,052
Good evening Claire.
� My, you look handsome.
795
00:47:39,718 --> 00:47:41,746
Thank you.
� Just put your hat in the bedroom.
796
00:47:44,869 --> 00:47:46,844
That's enough surprise
dear, don't overdo it.
797
00:47:47,333 --> 00:47:49,661
I .. didn't expect to see him here.
798
00:47:50,046 --> 00:47:52,983
Well, he leads a pretty lonely life,
and he's been working hard lately.
799
00:47:53,381 --> 00:47:57,212
I thought it would do him good to get out
and meet people and find out about things.
800
00:47:59,429 --> 00:48:01,239
Yes, find out about things.
801
00:48:02,013 --> 00:48:04,304
Dwight, this is terrible.
� Shush.
802
00:48:04,992 --> 00:48:06,382
Out in the hall.
803
00:48:08,256 --> 00:48:10,657
I tell you he's sure to hear somebody
say something about you and Claire.
804
00:48:10,903 --> 00:48:13,154
We can't let him. We've got to
keep everybody from talking.
805
00:48:13,375 --> 00:48:15,922
Well my wife is here. She hasn't
stopped talking in twenty years.
806
00:48:16,042 --> 00:48:18,686
Well we can't let her get started.
We've got to keep them all occupied.
807
00:48:18,971 --> 00:48:19,614
We'll entertain them.
808
00:48:19,939 --> 00:48:21,129
You want me to go home
and get my mandolin?
809
00:48:21,309 --> 00:48:22,403
No .. no.
810
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:24,525
I'll think of something.
811
00:48:26,161 --> 00:48:28,932
Mammy's little baby loves
shortening, shortening.
812
00:48:29,052 --> 00:48:31,502
Mammy's little baby loves
shortening bread.
813
00:48:31,879 --> 00:48:34,638
Mammy's little baby loves
shortening, shortening.
814
00:48:34,758 --> 00:48:37,342
Mammy's little baby loves
shortening bread.
815
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,063
Put on the skillet, put on the bread.
816
00:48:40,544 --> 00:48:42,891
Mammy's little baby loves shortening bread.
817
00:48:43,429 --> 00:48:46,141
Mammy's little baby loves
shortening, shortening.
818
00:48:46,376 --> 00:48:51,692
Mammy's little baby loves
shortening .. bread.
819
00:48:52,201 --> 00:48:54,676
Marvelous! Marvelous, encore, encore.
820
00:48:54,922 --> 00:48:56,658
Peace. Peace.
821
00:48:58,192 --> 00:49:01,068
Clair darling, I was wondering,
when are you inviting ..
822
00:49:01,291 --> 00:49:04,367
Ohh! Mammy's little baby
loves shortening, shortening ..
823
00:49:04,614 --> 00:49:06,841
Mammy's little baby loves
shortening bread.
824
00:49:06,961 --> 00:49:09,086
Mammy's little baby loves
shortening, shortening ..
825
00:49:09,355 --> 00:49:11,451
Mammy's little baby loves
shortening bread.
826
00:49:11,709 --> 00:49:14,209
Put on the skillet, put on the bread,
mammy's little baby loves ..
827
00:49:14,329 --> 00:49:17,715
I say mammy's little baby has had
enough shortening bread for tonight.
828
00:49:18,111 --> 00:49:20,914
Don't you all think he's
allowed to get sick.
829
00:49:21,508 --> 00:49:23,831
Mrs Hunter .. won't you sing for us now?
830
00:49:24,816 --> 00:49:28,470
Please, please Mrs Hunter.
� Do mother. I'm sure they'd enjoy it.
831
00:49:28,676 --> 00:49:29,615
Of course, we all ..
832
00:49:29,863 --> 00:49:33,070
Careful darling. You have to
be polite, but not that polite.
833
00:49:34,274 --> 00:49:38,158
Why don't we listen to the radio? The
Green Shadow is on. Won't that be fun!
834
00:49:38,564 --> 00:49:43,121
Not a great deal, no. Look, Elsa Maxwell,
why not let people do what they want?
835
00:49:44,168 --> 00:49:45,780
Oh those two.
836
00:49:46,246 --> 00:49:49,551
Mr Page, you have no champagne.
You better have some, its my birthday.
837
00:49:50,079 --> 00:49:54,452
More champagne, come on!
� Now careful mother. Just a sip.
838
00:49:54,945 --> 00:49:57,571
What's the matter with him tonight? He's
nervous and jumping all over the place.
839
00:49:57,938 --> 00:50:00,579
Is he? Why, I hadn't noticed it.
840
00:50:00,902 --> 00:50:03,968
Because you're two jumps ahead of him.
� Yes ..
841
00:50:06,037 --> 00:50:07,313
There you are.
842
00:50:08,501 --> 00:50:10,991
Would you like some champagne?
� Sweet of you Tad. Thanks.
843
00:50:11,399 --> 00:50:14,163
Mr Hunter.
� Well, I'll take the empty one.
844
00:50:15,146 --> 00:50:18,227
Enjoying yourself?
� I am. I'm sure glad you asked me.
845
00:50:19,181 --> 00:50:21,117
Say, who were those people
over there I was talking to?
846
00:50:21,425 --> 00:50:24,976
They're the Northrops. Mr Dawson
met them on a trip to Guatemala.
847
00:50:25,788 --> 00:50:27,375
I've always wanted to go to Guatemala.
848
00:50:27,722 --> 00:50:30,145
So have I, and it looks
like I'll finally get there.
849
00:50:30,438 --> 00:50:33,142
Planning a trip?
� Oh, I guess you don't know.
850
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,293
You see, in about three weeks
Mr Dawson and I ..
851
00:50:35,413 --> 00:50:37,493
Happy birthday to you!
852
00:50:37,613 --> 00:50:43,636
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear Dawson.
853
00:50:43,908 --> 00:50:47,758
Happy birthday to you.
854
00:50:55,442 --> 00:50:59,930
Ah, a waltz. Come on
everybody, dance, dance.
855
00:51:00,664 --> 00:51:04,654
What's the matter with you?
� Not a thing young lady. Not a thing.
856
00:51:05,179 --> 00:51:07,222
Waltz ain't it?
857
00:51:10,479 --> 00:51:12,672
Oh, it's mother.
858
00:51:13,556 --> 00:51:14,721
Just look at them Mr Page.
859
00:51:14,974 --> 00:51:17,885
If ever I saw two more ..
� Our dance, darling, our dance.
860
00:51:18,223 --> 00:51:20,167
You will pardon us Mr Page.
861
00:51:27,220 --> 00:51:30,448
Anybody hungry yet?
� Ah, wonderful idea.
862
00:51:31,156 --> 00:51:32,838
After all, you can't eat
and talk at the same ..
863
00:51:33,236 --> 00:51:35,016
I mean, who wants to
talk when you can eat.
864
00:51:36,348 --> 00:51:38,125
Horace, will you carry in the cake.
� Is there a cake?
865
00:51:38,639 --> 00:51:41,141
Yes, yes Horace, carry in the cake.
866
00:51:41,879 --> 00:51:42,728
Cake!
867
00:51:44,651 --> 00:51:47,194
Wait a minute! Wait a minute now.
I have a much, much better idea.
868
00:51:47,528 --> 00:51:50,338
Why don't we cut it out here, huh?
� Why that's bad luck.
869
00:51:50,562 --> 00:51:53,176
Oh but it's worse luck to cut in there.
� Oh yes, yes.
870
00:51:53,747 --> 00:51:56,429
And besides, it's such a big
cake for such a small room.
871
00:51:56,808 --> 00:51:59,437
Jenny, give me a knife and I'll cut ..
� You'll do no such thing!
872
00:51:59,557 --> 00:52:01,022
You got to make a wish when you cut it.
873
00:52:01,232 --> 00:52:03,478
I have .. I wish you'd
let me cut it right here.
874
00:52:03,598 --> 00:52:06,131
Nonsense! I spent a long
time decorating this cake ..
875
00:52:06,251 --> 00:52:08,505
And I'm going to show it off,
now Horace, take it in.
876
00:52:12,077 --> 00:52:13,775
Alright Horace, take it in.
877
00:52:15,911 --> 00:52:16,948
Happy birthday.
878
00:52:17,216 --> 00:52:22,195
Happy birthday to you, happy birth ..
879
00:52:25,193 --> 00:52:26,485
Oh Horace ..
880
00:52:32,058 --> 00:52:35,326
Well that's fine Mr Peters, I'm sure
it will benefit all of us greatly.
881
00:52:35,785 --> 00:52:38,152
Well thanks again, Mr Peters .. goodbye.
882
00:52:39,136 --> 00:52:40,413
Well, it's all set darling.
883
00:52:40,532 --> 00:52:43,130
You can call Mr Page and tell him
he starts selling insurance tomorrow.
884
00:52:43,250 --> 00:52:46,939
Excellent, excellent. I was thinking about
this last night and I got a better idea.
885
00:52:47,217 --> 00:52:49,102
Instead of telling him that
we've got him the job ..
886
00:52:49,222 --> 00:52:51,461
we'll send him down to apply,
and let him sell himself.
887
00:52:51,801 --> 00:52:53,010
Well, I've just sold him.
888
00:52:53,130 --> 00:52:56,045
Yeah, I know that, but I'll call the insurance
company and rearrange the whole thing.
889
00:52:56,165 --> 00:52:57,322
They'll be only too glad to cooperate.
890
00:52:57,885 --> 00:53:00,747
Dwight, we can't do that .. we've
got to be honest with them.
891
00:53:00,867 --> 00:53:02,663
Oh this isn't a question of honesty.
892
00:53:02,986 --> 00:53:05,587
If it were, you know that I would
be the first to agree with you.
893
00:53:06,356 --> 00:53:07,893
It's just that he has the wrong attitude.
894
00:53:08,223 --> 00:53:11,348
He comes to classes but says he
refuses to endorse the Institute.
895
00:53:11,415 --> 00:53:13,386
He says he's not quite sold on it, yet.
896
00:53:13,639 --> 00:53:14,769
Well, that's not his fault.
897
00:53:15,183 --> 00:53:17,365
He's willing to be sold, but
you just haven't sold him.
898
00:53:17,537 --> 00:53:21,239
But .. if he goes down, uses the
Dawson Method and gets the job ..
899
00:53:21,474 --> 00:53:22,519
He'll be convinced in a minute.
900
00:53:23,477 --> 00:53:24,534
We'll be doing him a favor.
901
00:53:24,869 --> 00:53:26,737
It will bolster his ego, give him self-confidence.
902
00:53:27,196 --> 00:53:28,654
It will make him feel he's
accomplished something.
903
00:53:29,001 --> 00:53:30,231
Yeah, and how will I feel?
904
00:53:31,634 --> 00:53:35,241
I've seen a bit of him these last weeks
taking pictures and interviews and ..
905
00:53:35,504 --> 00:53:38,230
I've got to know him pretty
well. He's a very sweet guy.
906
00:53:38,597 --> 00:53:41,420
Darling, darling .. let me do
this in my own way, will you?
907
00:53:42,113 --> 00:53:46,000
We're just inches from our goal now and
we can't afford to let anything stop us.
908
00:53:46,639 --> 00:53:50,423
Oh alright .. but just remember
it was your idea, not mine.
909
00:53:53,031 --> 00:53:58,256
Here you are my boy, your passport
to prosperity, your visa to success.
910
00:53:58,587 --> 00:54:02,404
Well .. I sort of glanced through
this the other day and uh ..
911
00:54:02,975 --> 00:54:06,338
To tell you the truth Mr Dawson,
some of the things in here are ..
912
00:54:06,545 --> 00:54:09,818
Mr Page, those are magic phrases.
913
00:54:09,938 --> 00:54:13,742
Thousands of men have stepped into senior
positions by merely repeating them.
914
00:54:14,763 --> 00:54:15,778
Maybe so. but ..
915
00:54:16,951 --> 00:54:19,449
Getting this job means an
awful lot to me and I ..
916
00:54:20,087 --> 00:54:23,897
Sure hate to say anything to this
fellow that might spoil my chances.
917
00:54:24,132 --> 00:54:26,379
Exactly, and I promise you ..
918
00:54:26,499 --> 00:54:29,889
If you apply this technique, that
position will be yours for the asking.
919
00:54:30,189 --> 00:54:31,795
Well .. I hope so.
920
00:54:32,530 --> 00:54:34,877
If it works, I'll be awful surprised.
921
00:54:35,694 --> 00:54:36,999
Well .. goodbye.
922
00:54:37,253 --> 00:54:41,760
Goodbye Mr Page. I feel certain that
everything is going to turn out just fine.
923
00:54:42,098 --> 00:54:46,064
And .. don't forget the hearty
handshake and the cheery smile.
924
00:54:46,756 --> 00:54:48,128
I won't.
925
00:54:50,237 --> 00:54:52,200
Make two copies. Take care of
it right away will you please.
926
00:54:52,732 --> 00:54:54,573
Yes, Miss Harris.
927
00:54:56,895 --> 00:54:59,581
Oh Claire.
� Hello Tad.
928
00:54:59,938 --> 00:55:02,839
I was just going down to apply for
that job. Will you wish me luck?
929
00:55:03,111 --> 00:55:05,834
Oh you won't need it.
I'm positive you'll get it.
930
00:55:06,585 --> 00:55:09,664
Thanks .. your saying
that means a lot to me.
931
00:55:11,975 --> 00:55:14,760
Promise one thing, will you Tad?
� Anything you want.
932
00:55:15,296 --> 00:55:17,164
Don't let getting this job change you.
933
00:55:18,366 --> 00:55:19,183
What I mean is ..
934
00:55:19,538 --> 00:55:23,225
You're going to meet men men who get
salary checks that look like Bingo cards.
935
00:55:23,725 --> 00:55:26,488
I wouldn't worry about that,
it's not contagious with me.
936
00:55:27,308 --> 00:55:30,678
I just .. want to make enough
money to satisfy Hazel, that's all.
937
00:55:31,017 --> 00:55:34,369
That's fine .. as long as you don't
choose Hazel for an excuse.
938
00:55:34,812 --> 00:55:38,862
You know, sometimes a girl begins to
wonder whether a fellow wants her or ..
939
00:55:39,359 --> 00:55:41,106
The money he's making for her.
940
00:55:41,860 --> 00:55:44,407
I never could see much fun
in hugging a bank-book.
941
00:55:44,700 --> 00:55:48,245
Oh you'd be surprised. It's
quite a pastime in this town.
942
00:55:48,998 --> 00:55:51,248
Oh, maybe some night soon you'd
like to have dinner with me?
943
00:55:52,414 --> 00:55:55,137
Oh well .. for the next week
I'm going to be pretty busy. I ..
944
00:55:55,257 --> 00:55:57,050
No hurry .. I don't mind waiting.
945
00:55:57,872 --> 00:56:00,814
Alright .. I'll call you.
� Thanks.
946
00:56:01,314 --> 00:56:02,914
Goodbye.
� Goodbye.
947
00:56:09,844 --> 00:56:11,840
Howdy Mr Blank, my name is Blank Blank.
948
00:56:15,439 --> 00:56:18,716
That reminds me of a very
funny story. Ha ha ha.
949
00:56:27,235 --> 00:56:29,527
Yes?
� "Mr Page is here to see you Mr Peters."
950
00:56:29,814 --> 00:56:31,335
I'll see him in a moment.
� "Yes sir."
951
00:56:31,455 --> 00:56:34,058
I'll call you John. This is the fellow
who is going to sell himself to me.
952
00:56:34,415 --> 00:56:36,227
I'll give you five bucks if you
let me hide under your desk.
953
00:56:36,472 --> 00:56:37,443
Get out of here.
954
00:56:38,204 --> 00:56:39,678
"Yes sir?"
� Send in Mr Page.
955
00:56:39,991 --> 00:56:42,714
Yes sir .. you may go in now Mr Page.
956
00:56:58,166 --> 00:57:01,856
Howdy Mr Peters, my name is Page,
Tad Page. I'm mighty pleased to meet you.
957
00:57:02,062 --> 00:57:02,663
How do you do?
958
00:57:02,935 --> 00:57:04,870
That reminds me of very funny story.
959
00:57:05,123 --> 00:57:07,595
Do you know what one cricket said
to another cricket the first time they met?
960
00:57:07,874 --> 00:57:09,968
"Click-click". Ha ha ha.
961
00:57:11,612 --> 00:57:14,100
A good laugh never hurt any
of us, that's what I always say.
962
00:57:14,382 --> 00:57:17,316
I got quite a surprise Mr Peters
when I walked in and saw you.
963
00:57:17,435 --> 00:57:20,291
I expected to find an older man
in such an important position.
964
00:57:20,573 --> 00:57:23,315
But here you are, at the top,
and in the very prime of life.
965
00:57:23,529 --> 00:57:26,265
It's easy to see you haven't let
any moss grow under your feet.
966
00:57:26,463 --> 00:57:28,331
I understand you're applying
for a position with us.
967
00:57:28,528 --> 00:57:31,054
That's exactly right Mr Peters.
I had a lot of other offers.
968
00:57:31,174 --> 00:57:35,214
When I heard that Security Life was looking
for men I said that's the place for me.
969
00:57:35,559 --> 00:57:39,452
It's an honor and a privilege to work
for an organization with this reputation.
970
00:57:39,572 --> 00:57:40,118
That's fine.
971
00:57:40,361 --> 00:57:42,816
Now if you're wondering if I'm a hard
worker, dismiss it from your mind.
972
00:57:43,013 --> 00:57:45,041
And as far as money
goes, that doesn't matter.
973
00:57:45,332 --> 00:57:47,905
And as soon as I prove what I'm worth,
I'm sure you'll do the right thing.
974
00:57:48,111 --> 00:57:50,168
The right start doesn't matter either.
975
00:57:50,515 --> 00:57:54,309
As Benjamin Franklin said "the
bottom is as good a place as any".
976
00:57:55,725 --> 00:57:57,584
Mr Page, I think you've said enough.
977
00:58:00,346 --> 00:58:00,841
Yes sir.
978
00:58:01,171 --> 00:58:02,822
You're the sort of
man we're looking for.
979
00:58:03,314 --> 00:58:09,261
Yes sir .. definite, personable,
dynamic, forceful, energetic.
980
00:58:15,158 --> 00:58:16,829
Tell him I'll be right over.
� Yes Mr Reindel.
981
00:58:17,045 --> 00:58:17,947
Mr Reindel?
� Yes.
982
00:58:18,191 --> 00:58:19,656
I'm certainly glad to know you.
� What do you want?
983
00:58:19,881 --> 00:58:21,913
I'm from Security Life insurance company.
� I don't want any.
984
00:58:22,383 --> 00:58:24,702
Look, won't you let me tell ..
� I don't want any.
985
00:58:25,024 --> 00:58:25,859
I don't want any insurance.
986
00:58:26,254 --> 00:58:26,864
Can't afford it.
987
00:58:26,984 --> 00:58:28,066
I have no children.
988
00:58:28,273 --> 00:58:29,165
Don't believe in it.
989
00:58:29,371 --> 00:58:30,160
My wife's rich.
990
00:58:30,496 --> 00:58:31,148
But I'm single.
991
00:58:31,512 --> 00:58:32,379
It costs too much.
992
00:58:32,585 --> 00:58:33,712
I've got all I want.
993
00:58:34,050 --> 00:58:35,130
No.
994
00:58:39,934 --> 00:58:41,934
But you mustn't be discouraged.
995
00:58:42,723 --> 00:58:44,441
You must have faith in the Dawson system.
996
00:58:44,738 --> 00:58:46,785
You had amazing results
with Mr Peters, didn't you?
997
00:58:47,095 --> 00:58:50,316
Yes, but I can't sell him insurance.
He works for the company too.
998
00:58:51,339 --> 00:58:53,649
I .. I just wasn't cut out
for this sort of thing.
999
00:58:53,769 --> 00:58:56,000
Oh nonsense, you can do
it as well as the next man.
1000
00:58:56,670 --> 00:58:58,458
Why do I have to sell insurance?
1001
00:58:58,674 --> 00:59:01,313
The important thing is I get a job,
it doesn't matter what kind.
1002
00:59:01,838 --> 00:59:04,111
Why don't I try and get a job tending
those row-boats in Central Park?
1003
00:59:04,430 --> 00:59:05,923
Oh no, no, no.
1004
00:59:06,043 --> 00:59:08,830
Tending boats is something
I like. Something I can do.
1005
00:59:08,950 --> 00:59:11,279
And you can sell insurance too,
if you just apply yourself.
1006
00:59:11,557 --> 00:59:12,713
Why certainly.
1007
00:59:13,346 --> 00:59:15,360
I've been applying, but
I haven't been selling.
1008
00:59:15,592 --> 00:59:17,403
What seems to be the difficulty Mr Page?
1009
00:59:17,763 --> 00:59:20,580
Nothing, except nobody wants
to buy insurance from me.
1010
00:59:20,975 --> 00:59:22,475
What do they say to you?
� No.
1011
00:59:23,181 --> 00:59:25,194
That's mere evasion. You must
never take no for an answer.
1012
00:59:25,506 --> 00:59:27,487
Impress upon them the
importance of insurance.
1013
00:59:27,807 --> 00:59:29,778
When they die, what's to
become of their dependents?
1014
00:59:30,107 --> 00:59:34,577
I asked that, but they've got an answer.
They say "I haven't got any dependents".
1015
00:59:37,186 --> 00:59:38,961
Then you should say to them: "Mr Smith ..
1016
00:59:39,355 --> 00:59:43,384
"In a few short years you'll have an
old man who'll be dependent on you."
1017
00:59:43,599 --> 00:59:45,941
"And that man will be yourself."
1018
00:59:46,670 --> 00:59:48,055
And then they say it costs too much.
1019
00:59:48,175 --> 00:59:50,186
The insurance doesn't cost money Mr Page.
1020
00:59:50,702 --> 00:59:53,397
You are merely buying something
for delivery at a future date.
1021
00:59:53,650 --> 00:59:55,744
You're not decreasing your
assets, you're increasing ..
1022
00:59:55,969 --> 00:59:57,096
Exactly.
1023
00:59:57,459 --> 00:59:58,980
That's right. I never thought of that.
1024
00:59:59,100 --> 01:00:00,051
And in the meantime ..
1025
01:00:00,304 --> 01:00:04,717
They'll be protecting all the lovely women
who've stood by them all these years.
1026
01:00:05,190 --> 01:00:05,809
Their wives!
1027
01:00:06,241 --> 01:00:08,288
A lot of men say their wives
don't believe in insurance.
1028
01:00:08,551 --> 01:00:14,638
Mr Page .. wives seldom believe
in insurance, but widows always do.
1029
01:00:16,746 --> 01:00:19,790
Well .. I'll try again.
1030
01:00:19,910 --> 01:00:20,727
That's it, that's it.
1031
01:00:20,847 --> 01:00:22,378
I'm not promising anything.
1032
01:00:22,603 --> 01:00:25,422
And remember, everyone needs
insurance no matter who he is.
1033
01:00:25,807 --> 01:00:30,493
It's protection, security. A refuge for
the aged. An opportunity for the young.
1034
01:00:31,463 --> 01:00:32,852
Okay, I'll try to remember that.
1035
01:00:33,237 --> 01:00:36,924
That's fine Mr Page, go out and face the
world with confidence and assurance.
1036
01:00:37,272 --> 01:00:39,665
And don't forget Benjamin
Franklin's advice ..
1037
01:00:40,003 --> 01:00:42,426
"Above all things, be decisive."
1038
01:00:43,121 --> 01:00:44,773
Alright .. goodbye.
1039
01:00:45,177 --> 01:00:46,801
Goodbye Mr Page.
1040
01:00:54,322 --> 01:00:58,256
Protection and security.
A refuge for the aged.
1041
01:00:59,292 --> 01:01:01,032
Everybody needs insurance.
1042
01:01:04,162 --> 01:01:05,364
Everybody.
1043
01:01:16,754 --> 01:01:19,316
Have you gentlemen ever
thought about life insurance?
1044
01:01:21,066 --> 01:01:23,116
Now we have an endowment life
income policy that's more than just ..
1045
01:01:23,469 --> 01:01:26,203
Wait a minute! You're not trying
to sell us some insurance?
1046
01:01:26,554 --> 01:01:29,695
Do you know the percentage of men under
50 who die not caring for their loved ones?
1047
01:01:30,273 --> 01:01:32,996
But I have no loved ones. I'm not
married. I have no dependents.
1048
01:01:33,254 --> 01:01:35,238
In a few short years you
will have a dependent.
1049
01:01:35,895 --> 01:01:38,917
An old man will be dependent on
you and that man will be yourself.
1050
01:01:39,527 --> 01:01:43,328
Mr Hunter .. you might die any day now.
� Oh but I feel alright.
1051
01:01:43,448 --> 01:01:45,385
Are you going to leave your wife
and children without anything?
1052
01:01:46,253 --> 01:01:47,838
Insurance doesn't cost money.
1053
01:01:48,119 --> 01:01:51,175
You're merely buying money to
be delivered at some future date.
1054
01:01:51,397 --> 01:01:54,489
My wife doesn't believe ..
� Wives seldom believe in insurance ..
1055
01:01:55,052 --> 01:01:57,446
But widows always do.
1056
01:01:58,376 --> 01:02:01,628
Now gentlemen, suppose
both of you die tomorrow.
1057
01:02:03,412 --> 01:02:09,292
And if you lose an ear and one
hand, we pay you $92.64 a month.
1058
01:02:10,142 --> 01:02:12,313
Of course we have other combinations
that pay much more.
1059
01:02:12,618 --> 01:02:16,867
If you lose one hand, one eye and
one foot .. you're sitting pretty.
1060
01:02:17,825 --> 01:02:22,187
And then Mr Dawson we have ..
� Alright, alright, you've convinced me.
1061
01:02:22,553 --> 01:02:24,303
Oh that's great, now Mr Hunter ..
� Me too.
1062
01:02:24,691 --> 01:02:27,120
That's fine. I'll just get
out my order book.
1063
01:02:27,682 --> 01:02:30,463
Oh I've forgotten them. Now stay
right here, I'll be back in five minutes.
1064
01:02:31,508 --> 01:02:32,811
Don't go away.
1065
01:02:36,356 --> 01:02:40,380
And all I said was: what seems
to be the difficulty Mr Page?
1066
01:02:41,222 --> 01:02:44,441
If he goes around selling like that,
he'll need some insurance himself.
1067
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,235
He'll pick up the prettiest collection
of black-eyes you've ever seen.
1068
01:02:47,582 --> 01:02:51,484
Trouble is, after the first black-eye
he may get discouraged and quit.
1069
01:02:53,893 --> 01:02:56,933
If he quits the bottom will fall out
of everything. Enrollments will fall off.
1070
01:02:57,273 --> 01:02:59,092
The bank will call in that note.
And what about that magazine?
1071
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:00,806
All that publicity will be worthless.
1072
01:03:01,053 --> 01:03:04,210
Well I can't keep on buying policies
every day. I just can't do it.
1073
01:03:04,858 --> 01:03:07,718
What about your brother-in-law?
I'm sure he'd take out a small policy.
1074
01:03:08,035 --> 01:03:10,104
And cancel it after the first
quarter, as I'm going to do.
1075
01:03:10,758 --> 01:03:13,269
No. One small policy isn't going to ..
1076
01:03:14,763 --> 01:03:16,454
What about Frank Mitchell?
� Oh.
1077
01:03:17,099 --> 01:03:18,566
He could help us out and
it wouldn't cost him a cent.
1078
01:03:18,860 --> 01:03:20,162
Exactly.
1079
01:03:21,806 --> 01:03:23,965
Get Frank Mitchell on the phone for me.
� "Yes sir."
1080
01:03:27,944 --> 01:03:31,887
It's a plan for old-age independents
combined with life insurance.
1081
01:03:32,006 --> 01:03:35,052
And for a few extra dollars I can write
the policy so that you'll be protected ..
1082
01:03:35,172 --> 01:03:37,059
In case of permanent and total disability.
1083
01:03:37,411 --> 01:03:40,498
All this will only cost
you $51.50 per $1000.
1084
01:03:41,397 --> 01:03:45,552
That sounds reasonable enough. I've been
considering life insurance for some time.
1085
01:03:45,940 --> 01:03:48,569
Mr Page, I think you came
along at just the right moment.
1086
01:03:49,085 --> 01:03:51,726
You mean .. you'll take some?
� Yes.
1087
01:03:52,186 --> 01:03:56,356
Write me out a policy for $250,000.
� Well, thank you Mr Mitchell.
1088
01:04:02,124 --> 01:04:05,789
Did .. did you say $250,000?
1089
01:04:06,268 --> 01:04:07,329
Yes.
1090
01:04:08,578 --> 01:04:11,282
That's what I thought you said.
1091
01:04:11,883 --> 01:04:15,245
I'll .. just .. make a note
of that so I won't forget.
1092
01:04:17,423 --> 01:04:19,043
Oh I'm sorry Frank, I didn't
know you were busy.
1093
01:04:19,163 --> 01:04:21,489
Come in Bill, I'm finished.
Mr Carson - Mr Page.
1094
01:04:21,978 --> 01:04:23,336
Mr Page.
� Hi.
1095
01:04:23,843 --> 01:04:26,407
As soon as you have the policy
made out Mr Page, just drop in.
1096
01:04:26,616 --> 01:04:29,386
Alright I will, and thanks
very much Mr Mitchell.
1097
01:04:29,506 --> 01:04:31,414
I'll see you again, probably tomorrow.
1098
01:04:32,128 --> 01:04:33,912
Goodbye sir and thank you. Goodbye.
1099
01:04:34,032 --> 01:04:37,022
Oh your hat Mr Page.
� Oh yes, my hat.
1100
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:39,792
Goodbye sir.
� And your briefcase Mr Page.
1101
01:04:40,205 --> 01:04:41,482
Yes, my briefcase.
1102
01:04:43,278 --> 01:04:44,583
Goodbye.
� Goodbye.
1103
01:04:44,959 --> 01:04:46,031
Bye, thanks.
1104
01:04:48,062 --> 01:04:49,583
Insurance?
� Yes.
1105
01:04:49,703 --> 01:04:51,595
But you've been turned down
by three companies already.
1106
01:04:51,715 --> 01:04:52,193
Four.
1107
01:04:52,513 --> 01:04:54,973
You're wasting your time Frank.
� Just helping Dawson out.
1108
01:04:55,266 --> 01:04:56,928
Seems this boy was getting discouraged ..
1109
01:04:57,144 --> 01:04:59,632
Dwight thought that selling a
policy would bolster his ego.
1110
01:04:59,839 --> 01:05:00,618
But he won't sell.
1111
01:05:00,919 --> 01:05:02,480
When they examine you and
see your blood pressure ..
1112
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,749
Is higher than a kite they'll turn you down
the same as the other companies.
1113
01:05:05,077 --> 01:05:06,317
I know it. I know it.
1114
01:05:06,806 --> 01:05:09,993
That's why I'm going to postpone
the examination for a week or so.
1115
01:05:10,548 --> 01:05:13,034
Dawson wants me to wait until
some magazine comes out.
1116
01:05:38,496 --> 01:05:40,509
Get me Mr Page at his hotel.
� "Yes sir."
1117
01:05:40,916 --> 01:05:41,758
You wanted me Dwight?
1118
01:05:42,036 --> 01:05:43,305
Yes, yes Horace.
1119
01:05:43,561 --> 01:05:47,249
Look at this. At last the Dawson Institute
is receiving the publicity it deserves.
1120
01:05:47,665 --> 01:05:48,995
That is wonderful.
� Isn't that marvelous?
1121
01:05:49,220 --> 01:05:50,828
And another cover too.
� Yes.
1122
01:05:51,151 --> 01:05:53,855
This means thousands of students
Dwight, just thousands of them.
1123
01:05:54,398 --> 01:05:56,719
Look, look .. they even show
him writing up the big policy.
1124
01:05:56,922 --> 01:05:58,034
Isn't that a sensation climax?
1125
01:05:58,154 --> 01:06:02,181
Why every downtrodden man in the USA
will want to follow in this boys footsteps.
1126
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,755
Well I'm certainly glad it's out. Now you
can clear up about the man from Hoboken.
1127
01:06:05,998 --> 01:06:08,507
I'm going to tell Mr Page about it
tonight. I've got call-in for him now.
1128
01:06:08,875 --> 01:06:11,640
And Claire .. does she know
about Michell's blood-pressure?
1129
01:06:12,100 --> 01:06:14,691
No .. that's something we'll
meet when we get to it.
1130
01:06:15,555 --> 01:06:17,644
That reminds me. I've got to call
Mitchell first thing in the morning.
1131
01:06:17,869 --> 01:06:19,664
Tell him it's alright to go ahead
with that examination now.
1132
01:06:21,094 --> 01:06:21,950
What about Mr Page?
1133
01:06:22,326 --> 01:06:25,365
"I have the hotel now Mr Dawson, . He's
not in his room, they're paging him."
1134
01:06:25,633 --> 01:06:26,581
Alright, keep trying.
1135
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:28,424
Oh really?
� Uhuh.
1136
01:06:29,007 --> 01:06:32,695
So they are having a "Tad Page"
day at home in a couple of weeks.
1137
01:06:32,950 --> 01:06:33,754
Oh.
1138
01:06:34,159 --> 01:06:35,624
Looks like I put the town on the map.
1139
01:06:35,992 --> 01:06:40,364
You did alright by the state too. I hadn't
heard of Vermont since the last election.
1140
01:06:40,740 --> 01:06:43,446
Oh I'm not joking, all the folks got
together and sent a wire and ..
1141
01:06:43,777 --> 01:06:46,811
Say .. isn't he going the wrong way?
� No he isn't.
1142
01:06:47,437 --> 01:06:50,430
I just wanted to show you something
first. Mind taking a ride?
1143
01:06:51,028 --> 01:06:52,080
No.
1144
01:07:03,129 --> 01:07:04,263
We'll be right out.
1145
01:07:07,501 --> 01:07:10,055
I must say this is an unusual
location for a restaurant.
1146
01:07:10,513 --> 01:07:12,669
This isn't a restaurant. You'll see.
1147
01:07:14,036 --> 01:07:15,728
Ring twice and ask for Joe, huh?
1148
01:07:16,482 --> 01:07:19,187
Well good evening Mr Page.
� Hello Mr Morton. Thanks for waiting.
1149
01:07:19,510 --> 01:07:21,779
No trouble at all. Come in.
� This is Miss Harris.
1150
01:07:22,162 --> 01:07:23,957
Miss Harris. Right down this way.
1151
01:07:29,950 --> 01:07:30,724
Wow!
1152
01:07:31,167 --> 01:07:33,586
You remember I told you we
needed a fire-engine at home?
1153
01:07:34,164 --> 01:07:36,140
Well .. here it is.
1154
01:07:36,733 --> 01:07:38,090
It's a beauty.
� Isn't it.
1155
01:07:40,049 --> 01:07:41,713
Excuse me. I'll get that phone.
1156
01:07:42,417 --> 01:07:43,897
The reason I wanted you
to come down was ..
1157
01:07:44,475 --> 01:07:48,126
You see, on that Mitchell policy, my
commission is going to be about $7500.
1158
01:07:48,727 --> 01:07:50,342
Oh Tad, that's wonderful.
1159
01:07:50,613 --> 01:07:55,263
Well .. I was figuring on using it
for a nest-egg for Hazel and me.
1160
01:07:55,896 --> 01:07:58,670
But .. we need an engine
like this pretty bad so ..
1161
01:07:59,043 --> 01:08:02,055
I was wondering if you thought Hazel
would mind of I put in a few thousand?
1162
01:08:02,447 --> 01:08:03,552
Of course not.
1163
01:08:04,033 --> 01:08:07,400
From what you've told me, I don't think
she'd care if you spent the whole business.
1164
01:08:08,069 --> 01:08:10,004
You .. you really mean that?
1165
01:08:10,581 --> 01:08:12,065
Well the money isn't important.
1166
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,569
After all, you've proven that you
love her enough to work for her.
1167
01:08:15,863 --> 01:08:17,083
That's all that matters.
1168
01:08:17,938 --> 01:08:19,326
I guess that settles it then.
1169
01:08:20,113 --> 01:08:23,082
Mr Morton, I'm going to pay cash for it.
� Well, that isn't necessary.
1170
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:25,551
The down-payment we
discussed is quite sufficient.
1171
01:08:25,731 --> 01:08:27,330
Then your city can pay
the balance out of taxes.
1172
01:08:27,564 --> 01:08:30,499
No, we need that money for a fire-house.
� Alright, suit yourself.
1173
01:08:31,172 --> 01:08:33,710
Yes sir, it's a mighty sweet
little job you're getting here.
1174
01:08:34,470 --> 01:08:38,646
What is it? 175 horsepower?
� That's right. 185 to be exact.
1175
01:08:39,416 --> 01:08:43,226
I imagine it pumps about 750
gallons a minute, doesn't it?
1176
01:08:43,462 --> 01:08:45,782
Yes it does.
� Uhuh.
1177
01:08:47,915 --> 01:08:51,238
Yes, it's a very complete, practical outfit.
1178
01:08:56,174 --> 01:08:59,471
Oh it's siamesed into two
one-and-a-halfs. That's good.
1179
01:08:59,869 --> 01:09:01,179
You get more coverage that way.
1180
01:09:01,467 --> 01:09:04,087
How .. how do you know so
much about these things?
1181
01:09:04,536 --> 01:09:07,110
My uncle was the chief up in
Uttica when I was a kid.
1182
01:09:07,290 --> 01:09:09,153
I used to spend all my
time in the fire-house.
1183
01:09:09,273 --> 01:09:10,237
You did?
1184
01:09:10,357 --> 01:09:14,071
I skinned my hands a dozen times before
I learned to slide down a brass pole.
1185
01:09:14,632 --> 01:09:16,182
Can you imagine?
1186
01:09:16,460 --> 01:09:18,037
So you like fire-engines too.
1187
01:09:18,310 --> 01:09:20,456
Wherever there's smoke, you'll
find me in La Guardia.
1188
01:09:23,892 --> 01:09:28,183
Uh .. you see this? Good and
solid. Makes it easy to hang on.
1189
01:09:28,436 --> 01:09:31,619
If you hang on like that you'll find
yourself skidding along on your ear.
1190
01:09:31,967 --> 01:09:35,386
Oh I got a good grip.
� But not good enough.
1191
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:38,934
This isn't the outfit to demonstrate it,
but come on, get down and I'll show you.
1192
01:09:39,405 --> 01:09:43,140
You must hook your arm around, so you
can put on your coat at the same time.
1193
01:09:43,613 --> 01:09:44,567
Oh.
1194
01:09:45,001 --> 01:09:47,894
Lady it's a pleasure to show a
fire-engine to someone like you.
1195
01:09:48,432 --> 01:09:51,061
Say, I've got a thousand gallon
tour-quad at the back of the shop.
1196
01:09:51,339 --> 01:09:52,488
I'd like you to take a look at it.
1197
01:09:52,826 --> 01:09:55,313
Oh I'd love to see it, but I'm
afraid we'll have to be going.
1198
01:09:55,537 --> 01:09:56,543
Yeah, we haven't eaten yet.
1199
01:09:56,776 --> 01:09:59,687
Well when you've got time, drop around.
It's something you would appreciate.
1200
01:09:59,983 --> 01:10:02,562
Thanks again for staying open. I'll be in
tomorrow afternoon with the money.
1201
01:10:02,787 --> 01:10:04,928
Alright Mr Page, I'll be waiting for you.
� Goodnight.
1202
01:10:05,214 --> 01:10:06,183
Goodnight.
1203
01:10:08,661 --> 01:10:10,819
Oh uh, does a hat go with it?
1204
01:10:11,313 --> 01:10:12,059
Hat?
1205
01:10:12,613 --> 01:10:15,039
Oh .. yes I think we can arrange that.
1206
01:10:15,332 --> 01:10:17,270
Okay, then the deal is still on.
1207
01:10:24,634 --> 01:10:27,225
I can't get over it, you
liking fire engines.
1208
01:10:28,201 --> 01:10:31,108
Does Hazel like them?
� Yeah, she loves them.
1209
01:10:33,753 --> 01:10:36,253
Hey, that's a pretty fancy step there.
1210
01:10:36,596 --> 01:10:39,936
Ah, you're so good tonight, I could
do that thing where everybody bumps.
1211
01:11:03,964 --> 01:11:05,939
As you told me once. There
is Manhattan at your feet.
1212
01:11:06,361 --> 01:11:09,676
Remember that night? And
old frozen-face Barker?
1213
01:11:10,061 --> 01:11:11,216
I wonder what happened to him.
1214
01:11:11,638 --> 01:11:13,338
He's getting along great.
I got a card from him.
1215
01:11:13,759 --> 01:11:15,171
You did? What did he have to say?
1216
01:11:15,404 --> 01:11:18,048
He caught a twelve pound bass.
� Oh really.
1217
01:11:19,290 --> 01:11:21,205
A lot has happened since
the last time we were here.
1218
01:11:21,483 --> 01:11:22,325
It sure has.
1219
01:11:23,549 --> 01:11:25,184
You know, you were right
about those lights.
1220
01:11:25,733 --> 01:11:28,067
Looking down on the city like
this does give you a thrill.
1221
01:11:28,773 --> 01:11:31,590
Especially when you've .. got
ahead a little bit, the way I have.
1222
01:11:32,988 --> 01:11:33,942
The break is for you.
1223
01:11:34,258 --> 01:11:36,331
No, you know, I'm beginning
to think it is more than that.
1224
01:11:37,238 --> 01:11:39,629
Take for instance the day
I got the job with Mr Peters.
1225
01:11:41,472 --> 01:11:43,522
Went pretty easily, didn't it?
� No trouble at all.
1226
01:11:43,782 --> 01:11:45,430
They must have needed quite a few men.
1227
01:11:45,761 --> 01:11:47,240
No, nobody else was hired.
1228
01:11:47,661 --> 01:11:49,411
I guess I just sold myself to him.
1229
01:11:50,019 --> 01:11:51,266
He probably liked your face.
1230
01:11:51,647 --> 01:11:55,000
No .. I've got to admit it. It must
have been Mr Dawson's approach.
1231
01:11:55,964 --> 01:11:59,953
No matter how you got the job. You
got it and you've made good at it.
1232
01:12:00,486 --> 01:12:05,083
And, I think I've gotten far enough along
to ask Hazel to marry me. Don't you?
1233
01:12:06,112 --> 01:12:09,102
Oh, I had an idea it was all set.
� No, you see.
1234
01:12:09,605 --> 01:12:12,629
Well .. she's always thought
I was sort-of a loafer so ..
1235
01:12:13,556 --> 01:12:16,325
I figured I'd have a much
better chance if I waited ..
1236
01:12:16,707 --> 01:12:19,849
until I had something to offer
besides just promises.
1237
01:12:20,337 --> 01:12:22,463
Well, that's not a bad technique.
1238
01:12:22,951 --> 01:12:24,536
You really think she'll listen to me now?
1239
01:12:25,505 --> 01:12:28,961
Of course she will.
� Alright. I'll tell her then.
1240
01:12:33,881 --> 01:12:36,450
Hazel .. I love you.
1241
01:12:43,383 --> 01:12:44,840
Don't you see. There never was a l.
1242
01:12:46,119 --> 01:12:49,304
I'd have told you before but
as I said, I thought if I waited ..
1243
01:12:49,830 --> 01:12:51,369
I might sweep her off her feet.
1244
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:56,594
What's the matter?
1245
01:12:58,817 --> 01:13:00,657
I'm swept. That's all.
1246
01:13:01,846 --> 01:13:06,436
Since the day I arrived, I wanted you
more than I wanted anything in my life.
1247
01:13:08,579 --> 01:13:10,957
By nature, I'm not a hard worker but ..
1248
01:13:11,201 --> 01:13:14,153
if you want me to, I'll work eight
hours a day. I'll be the hardest ..
1249
01:13:16,639 --> 01:13:18,908
You don't feel the same
about me. I can see that.
1250
01:13:20,017 --> 01:13:22,295
This is "surprise" you're looking
at, not "indifference".
1251
01:13:23,083 --> 01:13:25,947
Just .. give me a couple of minutes
and I'll be as good as new.
1252
01:13:26,905 --> 01:13:30,515
I know it's sudden but .. do you like me?
1253
01:13:32,279 --> 01:13:37,104
Yes Tad, a lot .. an awful lot.
� I'm glad of that.
1254
01:13:38,524 --> 01:13:41,641
It wouldn't have been much
fun if it was just one-sided.
1255
01:13:43,008 --> 01:13:44,841
But, I don't know whether I love you.
1256
01:13:45,345 --> 01:13:47,306
Well I didn't expect
you to know right off.
1257
01:13:47,952 --> 01:13:50,183
It even took me a few hours.
1258
01:13:52,904 --> 01:13:54,354
I've got something for you.
1259
01:13:59,823 --> 01:14:00,556
Oh Tad, I ..
1260
01:14:00,762 --> 01:14:03,269
Well, it's not an engagement
ring. I mean ..
1261
01:14:03,626 --> 01:14:05,711
Well .. not right away.
1262
01:14:06,518 --> 01:14:08,279
You can wear it on your
right hand and then if you ..
1263
01:14:08,532 --> 01:14:10,406
Change your mind you can
change over to your left one.
1264
01:14:12,441 --> 01:14:14,600
Tad, you're probably the nicest
person I've ever met but ..
1265
01:14:15,089 --> 01:14:17,342
I know there is someone else.
I've known it all along.
1266
01:14:17,671 --> 01:14:21,126
I thought if I threw my hat in the
ring you might look my way.
1267
01:14:22,217 --> 01:14:25,995
But .. don't you see Tad, for five
years now Mr Dawson and I have ..
1268
01:14:28,236 --> 01:14:29,442
Mr Dawson?
1269
01:14:31,006 --> 01:14:34,875
Is he the one you're ..?
� Why yes .. I thought you knew.
1270
01:14:39,131 --> 01:14:41,601
Well I guess you two have been
having quite a few laughs then.
1271
01:14:42,220 --> 01:14:43,779
No Tad, I ..
1272
01:14:45,345 --> 01:14:48,030
I'll leave you alone. You can have
a really good one. Goodnight.
1273
01:14:48,882 --> 01:14:49,923
Tad!
1274
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:30,174
It's right down here Doctor.
His name's Mitchell.
1275
01:15:30,407 --> 01:15:32,717
Mitchell? Not Frank Mitchell is it?
� That's right.
1276
01:15:32,999 --> 01:15:35,781
I don't know why he keeps trying.
I've had to turn him down twice.
1277
01:15:36,098 --> 01:15:38,138
You have?
� Sure. High blood pressure.
1278
01:15:38,486 --> 01:15:40,317
Once for Mid-West and
once for Cosmopolitan.
1279
01:15:40,655 --> 01:15:42,449
You mean, you don't think
the policy will go through?
1280
01:15:42,749 --> 01:15:45,069
I wouldn't figure too much on
my commission if I were you.
1281
01:15:45,322 --> 01:15:46,684
But I've already spent it!
1282
01:15:47,359 --> 01:15:49,359
I take it you've just started
selling insurance.
1283
01:15:49,575 --> 01:15:51,348
You see, I signed a contract
to buy something.
1284
01:15:51,468 --> 01:15:53,378
And if I don't get the money,
they'll probably sue me.
1285
01:15:53,579 --> 01:15:54,552
Well, I'm sorry son.
1286
01:15:55,256 --> 01:15:58,843
It seems to me whoever recommended
this man was playing a practical joke.
1287
01:15:59,575 --> 01:16:03,916
I wouldn't be surprised .. people do an
awful lot so they laugh at somebody.
1288
01:16:04,348 --> 01:16:06,432
Well don't take it too hard.
They'll be other policies.
1289
01:16:06,714 --> 01:16:09,625
But this has got to go through. A lot
of nice people are depending on it.
1290
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:11,957
High blood pressure, huh?
1291
01:16:13,178 --> 01:16:14,643
I knew a man once who ..
1292
01:16:18,053 --> 01:16:20,315
Doc, come back in an hour, will you.
� What are you going to do.
1293
01:16:20,531 --> 01:16:23,377
I've been trying the Dawson System long
enough. Now I'm going to try my system.
1294
01:16:24,861 --> 01:16:25,365
Good morning.
1295
01:16:25,580 --> 01:16:27,493
Good morning. You can go right in Mr Page.
1296
01:16:27,695 --> 01:16:28,529
Thank you.
1297
01:16:30,969 --> 01:16:32,631
Hello Mr Mitchell.
� Where's the doctor?
1298
01:16:32,885 --> 01:16:33,908
He'll be along in a minute.
1299
01:16:34,114 --> 01:16:38,067
Sorry I've had to delay this examination
so many times. I've been terribly busy.
1300
01:16:39,018 --> 01:16:40,360
What's that for?
1301
01:16:41,318 --> 01:16:43,102
The nerves. Helps me relax.
1302
01:16:43,675 --> 01:16:44,914
I know a good way to relax.
1303
01:16:45,449 --> 01:16:46,820
Huh? What do you take?
1304
01:16:47,195 --> 01:16:51,149
Nothing. I just lean back and close
my eyes. You ought to try it.
1305
01:16:51,447 --> 01:16:54,156
Mr Page, I'm a very busy
man, I haven't time ..
1306
01:16:54,456 --> 01:16:56,926
You can't do much work
before the doctor gets here.
1307
01:16:57,245 --> 01:17:00,964
It won't do you any harm trying. Go on,
just lean against the back of the chair.
1308
01:17:01,536 --> 01:17:03,809
Lean way back .. that's better.
1309
01:17:04,278 --> 01:17:07,602
Now just let your head
go .. round .. in a circle.
1310
01:17:07,856 --> 01:17:10,006
Real .. slow .. like this.
1311
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:11,405
Does it make you dizzy?
1312
01:17:11,725 --> 01:17:14,175
No, no. It just loosens
up the muscles. Try it.
1313
01:17:15,197 --> 01:17:19,721
Just .. around .. that's fine.
Keep it going .. that's fine.
1314
01:17:20,790 --> 01:17:22,640
Do you like to fish Mr Mitchell?
� Love to.
1315
01:17:22,896 --> 01:17:26,699
Used to do a lot of it when I was a boy.
Haven't done it for years th�ugh. No time.
1316
01:17:27,113 --> 01:17:31,028
Too bad .. Keep your eyes closed and
your head going around. That's fine.
1317
01:17:31,884 --> 01:17:33,928
And now just imagine you're a kid again.
1318
01:17:34,785 --> 01:17:37,283
You're sitting out in a little
row-boat all by yourself.
1319
01:17:38,241 --> 01:17:41,609
The water is as quiet as
midnight in a small town.
1320
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:44,788
It's clear .. and .. cold.
1321
01:17:45,661 --> 01:17:49,680
You can see a school of perch swimming
lazily around near the bottom.
1322
01:17:50,377 --> 01:17:52,583
Of course I realize you're busy.
1323
01:17:53,006 --> 01:17:56,997
But after all, even a beaver can't keep
going for ever and he knows it.
1324
01:17:57,346 --> 01:18:02,292
That's why when he gets his dam patched
up he knocks off for a couple of weeks.
1325
01:18:02,697 --> 01:18:06,480
He goes to the other side of the lake to
see how the rest of the boys are doing.
1326
01:18:07,021 --> 01:18:10,513
That's what you should do .. You ought
to come up home this summer.
1327
01:18:10,907 --> 01:18:15,358
If only to stand on the green mountains
and just look out over the country.
1328
01:18:17,255 --> 01:18:23,339
And then around October, the mornings
get as crisp as a soda cracker.
1329
01:18:24,305 --> 01:18:29,777
And the wind comes sweeping across the
fields biting your cheeks and your ears.
1330
01:18:30,132 --> 01:18:34,184
And before you know it, you wake up
one morning and look out the window.
1331
01:18:35,053 --> 01:18:42,399
And everything is white and still.
The snow is deep and fresh and clean.
1332
01:18:43,115 --> 01:18:44,688
Winter is unbelievable up there.
1333
01:18:45,510 --> 01:18:47,388
I imagine it's lovely in the Spring too.
1334
01:18:48,256 --> 01:18:51,530
You've never seen so many different
shades of green in your life.
1335
01:18:52,094 --> 01:18:55,865
And all the trees that have been
sad and drooping all winter ..
1336
01:18:56,306 --> 01:18:59,319
Slowly begin to bud and stand up straight.
1337
01:18:59,929 --> 01:19:02,594
As if they wanted to show they
were proud they lived in Vermont.
1338
01:19:03,005 --> 01:19:05,704
Well, there's nothing wrong
with your blood-pressure now.
1339
01:19:06,069 --> 01:19:08,874
Isn't there? .. That's good.
1340
01:19:09,426 --> 01:19:12,817
Of course it's not normal, but it isn't
high enough for me to turn you down.
1341
01:19:13,123 --> 01:19:14,895
Fine. Now if you'll just
sign this Mr Mitchell.
1342
01:19:15,165 --> 01:19:17,761
Oh let's not talk about business
now. I just want to ..
1343
01:19:19,218 --> 01:19:21,549
What did you say?
� I said you're physically okay.
1344
01:19:21,852 --> 01:19:23,918
Why that's wonderful, wonderful!
1345
01:19:24,282 --> 01:19:28,848
All we need is your signature Mr Mitchell.
� Of course, of course. Only too glad to.
1346
01:19:30,948 --> 01:19:33,488
Oh that's fine. Thanks very
much Mr Mitchell. Goodbye.
1347
01:19:33,714 --> 01:19:35,013
Don't run away Mr Page.
1348
01:19:35,201 --> 01:19:38,183
I'm very much interested in Vermont.
I want you to tell me more.
1349
01:19:39,397 --> 01:19:40,242
Where are you going?
1350
01:19:40,486 --> 01:19:43,016
First I'm going to turn these papers in.
Then I'm going to get my fire wagon.
1351
01:19:43,256 --> 01:19:46,824
And then .. I've got a few things
I want to say to Mr Dawson.
1352
01:19:48,339 --> 01:19:50,480
And the first thing I'm going
to do is kick over that poster.
1353
01:19:50,833 --> 01:19:53,800
Now you're cooking pal. I've been
wanting to do it myself for years.
1354
01:19:58,899 --> 01:20:01,191
Well, it looks like somebody
beat you to it.
1355
01:20:03,131 --> 01:20:06,611
"Now wait a minute darling. Don't
forget, I have a lot at stake too."
1356
01:20:07,060 --> 01:20:09,549
"I don't care how much you had
at stake. That's no excuse."
1357
01:20:10,038 --> 01:20:14,888
"Now, now darling. He'll get over it.
Time heals all wounds."
1358
01:20:15,622 --> 01:20:19,217
"And see what time will do to your bank
account when the papers get hold of this."
1359
01:20:19,716 --> 01:20:22,460
"Oh wait a minute now, you
wouldn't do a thing like that?"
1360
01:20:22,728 --> 01:20:23,667
"Want a bet?"
1361
01:20:24,027 --> 01:20:25,800
Oh now darling, we're both of
us talking a lot of nonsense.
1362
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,223
How could you put such a
sweet guy in a spot like that?
1363
01:20:28,448 --> 01:20:30,833
I didn't know he was going
to buy a fire-engine did I?
1364
01:20:31,587 --> 01:20:33,773
I .. I'll make that up him somehow.
1365
01:20:33,893 --> 01:20:35,576
And what kind of a spot
do you think I'm in?
1366
01:20:35,921 --> 01:20:40,376
He believes I led him on and lied. He
thinks I was in on it all the way.
1367
01:20:41,803 --> 01:20:44,517
I didn't realize you felt this way
about him. Six weeks ago ..
1368
01:20:44,814 --> 01:20:46,883
Six weeks ago, I didn't
feel a lot of things.
1369
01:20:47,437 --> 01:20:51,353
Six weeks ago I didn't know there were
people like him. Why, he's the first real ..
1370
01:20:51,625 --> 01:20:55,428
Wait a minute! Are you
in love with this jerk?
1371
01:20:56,216 --> 01:20:58,349
Yes! I am in love with him.
1372
01:20:58,664 --> 01:21:01,208
"And he's no jerk .. you jerk!"
1373
01:21:02,306 --> 01:21:04,917
"Well .. you might have
told me before this."
1374
01:21:05,170 --> 01:21:08,128
Here, I've been planning and planning.
What am I supposed to do?
1375
01:21:08,927 --> 01:21:12,100
As Benjamin Franklin
said: go soak your head!
1376
01:21:15,758 --> 01:21:16,844
Oh!
1377
01:21:25,362 --> 01:21:29,461
[ fire-engine siren ]
1378
01:21:30,727 --> 01:21:32,003
Going my way, lady?
1379
01:21:34,370 --> 01:21:35,816
Okay Chief.
1380
01:21:59,898 --> 01:22:03,778
Imagine your head .. is the ..
second hand .. of a watch.
1381
01:22:04,527 --> 01:22:09,748
Let it go round .. and .. round ..
1382
01:22:11,494 --> 01:22:14,516
Slowly ..
1383
01:22:15,338 --> 01:22:21,403
Imagine .. you're .. out in
a boat .. all by yourself.
1384
01:22:22,367 --> 01:22:27,017
As Benjamin Franklin so wisely said ..
1385
01:22:29,018 --> 01:22:34,464
Relax .. the world .. is yours.
1386
