00:00Seven times seven.
00:03Forty-nine.
00:04Can I go out and play?
00:06No, not yet.
00:07Eight times eight.
00:08Sixty-four.
00:09Can I go out and play now?
00:10No.
00:11Nine times nine.
00:13Ninety.
00:14Can I go out and play?
00:15No.
00:16Now think.
00:17Nine times nine.
00:19I don't know.
00:20Nine times nine is eighty-one.
00:22What's ten times ten?
00:24A hundred.
00:25Eleven times eleven?
00:27A hundred and twenty-one.
00:29Twelve times twelve?
00:31A hundred and forty-four.
00:33Thirteen times thirteen?
00:35Let me think.
00:36A hundred and sixty-nine.
00:38Fourteen times fourteen?
00:40It's such a lovely day, Harold.
00:42What are you doing in the house?
00:43Why don't you go out and play?
00:45Bye, Lisa.
00:51Well, for Pete's sake, that little villain outsmarted me.
00:59Pete!
01:00Pete!

01:30Pete!
01:32Pete!
01:34Are you kidding Mr. B?
01:36No, I'm not. I wish I were, Hazel.
01:38What will they do, George?
01:40They're like little innocent lambs.
01:42They don't know how to take care of themselves.
01:44They'll have to learn.
01:45Look, they'll starve to death, Mr. B.
01:47You've got to do something.
01:48Hazel, they won't starve.
01:50They'll just have to change the standard of living.
01:53Hello, may I speak to Mr. Johnson, please.
01:56Mr. Johnson! Telephone!
02:00Dear, I do wish he wouldn't shout like that.
02:03Servants aren't what they used to be.
02:05In my father's day, servants were all like Hazel. Quiet, efficient, and...
02:09Did you hear me? Telephone!
02:11Father wouldn't have tolerated this for an instant.
02:14Who's calling, Roberta?
02:18Who is it?
02:20It's Mr. Baxter!
02:22Oh, splendid!
02:24Dear George has undoubtedly solved that dreadful puzzle at the bank.
02:28And I hope he's given them a severe reprimand.
02:31We can't afford to have our checks being returned.
02:34Creates a bad impression among the tradespeople.
02:36And sets a bad example, Herbert. Noblesse oblige, you know.
02:39You're quite right, my dear.
02:41I recall an incident with my father in 1915...
02:44Are you going to take this call or not?
02:47You'd better go. She's threatened to quit, you know.
02:50Coming, Roberta!
02:52What's taking him so long, Mr. B?
02:54I don't know, Hazel. He hasn't come to the phone.
02:57Probably dreading to hear the bad news.
03:00Hello, Mr. Johnson. How are you?
03:02Now that you've cleared up our financial snarl, I'm in excellent spirits.
03:06Mr. Johnson, I haven't cleared up your financial snarl.
03:09I think we should have a talk. Could you come over?
03:12Fine. I'll be expecting you.
03:14What did he say?
03:15Well, he didn't say much.
03:17He sounded a little surprised and said he'd be right over.
03:20Don't be too stunned to speak.
03:23Actually overdrawn, George.
03:25That's right, Mr. Johnson.
03:27Well, that would seem to imply that I haven't any money in my checking account.
03:30You have $4.12.
03:32$4.12? In that case, the bank has been negligent.
03:36They're supposed to automatically deposit my dividend checks.
03:39There haven't been many dividend checks lately.
03:41Well, in that case, the Postal Authority...
03:43Mr. Johnson, there haven't been many dividend checks lately because...
03:47Because your investments haven't been sound.
03:49Not sound, George.
03:51Why, I only hold stocks in fine old-line American companies.
03:54A little too old-line, I'm afraid.
03:56United Harness and Saddle.
03:58American Button Hook.
04:00Oh, boy!
04:01I inherited that stock from my father.
04:03Wouldn't part with it for anything.
04:05Bartley's Kerosene Lantern.
04:07Stereoptic and Slide Limited.
04:09Such stocks simply can't grow with the general economy.
04:13No, I suppose not.
04:16But I do have the whalebone, George.
04:18You can't deny that.
04:20Yes, according to the records,
04:22you are paying a man in Nova Scotia storage fees on 485 tons of whalebone.
04:27You're kidding.
04:28Not at all, Hazel.
04:30I believe I've cornered the world market on whalebone.
04:33Ain't it unbelievable?
04:34What do you intend doing with it?
04:36Why, she'll sell it to the corset manufacturers.
04:39Why?
04:40Mr. Johnson, whalebone is not widely used in making corsets these days.
04:44It isn't?
04:45No, it ain't been for years.
04:46They use elastic.
04:47It's more comfortable.
04:48Good heavens!
04:49This is gonna be a dreadful shock to Harriet.
04:51You mean she?
04:52Yes, has a whalebone corset made up by her seamstress.
04:55A remarkable old lady.
04:5784 years old.
04:58Threads a needle without glasses.
05:00Well, the whalebone was a bad investment.
05:03Just write it off as a loss.
05:05Well, then what am I to do, George?
05:07How can I straighten things out?
05:09You have to cut down in every possible way.
05:11Now, if you continue to spend your capital, you'll end up penniless.
05:14Dear me, I'd better go home and discuss this with Harriet.
05:18It's a most serious situation.
05:20Yes, Mr. Johnson, it is.
05:22Don't you worry.
05:23Mr. Beale will straighten everything out for you.
05:26Hazel, please.
05:28By all means, discuss it with Mrs. Johnson.
05:30Find ways to cut your spending.
05:32And before you make any investments, investigate them thoroughly.
05:36Indeed I will, George.
05:38Oh, that reminds me.
05:41Tomorrow I have an appointment with a man who's inventing a perpetual motion machine.
05:47Oh, for Pete's sake.
05:50Oh, come on, Mr. Beale, you've got to do something.
05:53Hazel, all I can do is give them advice.
05:55I can't run their lives.
05:56But can't you find them some surefire investment that...
05:59There's no such thing as a surefire investment.
06:01But them two can't live without money.
06:03Hazel, they still have more money than you'll ever see.
06:06Of course, I don't know how long they're going to keep it.
06:08That's what I mean.
06:09You've got to do something, Mr. Beale.
06:11I've done all I can, Hazel.
06:13I'm sorry.
06:14Well, I ain't.
06:15I'm going to go over and talk to them.
06:18They've got them on racks in all sizes.
06:20Oh, isn't that a clever idea, Herbert?
06:23Dresses all made up.
06:25Very clever.
06:26Too bad they don't do it with suits.
06:27Then I could save money, too.
06:29Mr. Johnson, they do.
06:31Isn't that exciting, Harriet?
06:33There's a whole new world out there.
06:35Oh, it's marvelous.
06:37I've got an idea.
06:39Let's let Roberta go.
06:41Let the maid go?
06:42Oh, we can't do that.
06:44Who would answer the door?
06:46Oh, please.
06:47I can do that.
06:49And we can also answer the phone, couldn't we, Hazel?
06:52Oh, sure.
06:53It comes easy once you get used to it.
06:55Then I think it's an excellent idea.
06:57Dining would be no problem.
06:59We could eat in restaurants.
07:01Well, restaurants is kind of expensive.
07:04Maybe I could give Mrs. Johnson a few tips on cooking.
07:07Would you, Hazel?
07:09You know, Herbert, I feel like a new bride.
07:12We are going to be happier than we've ever been.
07:15Now, now, Harriet, let's not exaggerate, my dear.
07:18I'm reminded of something my father used to say.
07:21Poverty does not necessarily bring happiness.
07:24That's deep, Herbert.
07:26Father had a philosophical turn of mind.
07:29Oh, yeah.
07:30Terrific.
07:33Now then, how do I go about discharging Roberta?
07:37You mean you never fired a maid before?
07:39Never.
07:40They've always quit.
07:41A surprising number of them with nervous breakdowns.
07:44Oh, if I were you, I'd just tell her I was letting her go in a nice way.
07:48That's what I shall do.
07:50I shall write a letter of recommendation.
07:52Oh, and he writes lovely letters of recommendation.
07:54Just lovely.
07:56You know, he should have been a writer.
07:58I understand bestsellers are quite rewarding financially.
08:01Perhaps I should try one.
08:03I don't think it's that easy, Mr. Johnson.
08:05I could call it my 40 years as a...
08:09as a...
08:10Stamp collector, Herbert.
08:12No, my dear, I don't think that's quite adequate.
08:14Somebody rang the bell.
08:15Oh, Roberta.
08:16How nice of you to come in.
08:18You know Hazel, of course.
08:20Oh, sure.
08:21Hi, Hazel.
08:22Hi, Roberta.
08:23And you know Mrs. Johnson?
08:26I've been working here three weeks.
08:28Oh, yes, of course.
08:30I trust they've been happy weeks.
08:32They've been miserable.
08:34Yes.
08:35What seems to be the trouble?
08:36Well, aside from everything else, I can't sleep at night.
08:39My mattress is as hard as a rock.
08:41How do you expect a person to sleep on a bed like that?
08:44Oh, but we don't, Roberta.
08:46We didn't know.
08:47Had no idea.
08:48When we buy you a new mattress, we'll...
08:50Mr. Johnson.
08:53Oh, yes, yes, yes.
08:54Won't you sit down, Roberta?
08:57You're like one of the family.
08:59What's your last name?
09:01Crawford.
09:02Oh, that's a lovely name.
09:04Crawford.
09:05Yes, indeed.
09:06Well, that reminds me of one of my favorites in the theatrical field.
09:10Roderick Crawford.
09:12You trying to be funny or something?
09:14Oh, good heavens, no.
09:16That's farthest thing from my mind.
09:18No, actually, I...
09:20Tell...
09:21You want me to handle this?
09:22Oh, Hazel, I'd be most grateful.
09:24Roberta, the Johnsons won't be needing a maid any longer.
09:28They're letting you go.
09:30What?
09:31Well, you don't have to get so excited about it.
09:33I can get you a job tomorrow with the Fieldings.
09:35I happen to know they want somebody.
09:37Well, okay.
09:39Naturally, we'll give you a month's severance pay and...
09:41And two weeks' vacation pay, Herbert.
09:44Yes, indeed.
09:45And a month's sick leave and...
09:46Oh, for Pete's sake, why don't you give her a Christmas bonus, too?
09:49Yes, and a Christmas bonus, too.
09:52Mr. Johnson, you may be letting a maid go,
09:54but you're talking yourself right into bankruptcy.
09:56Oh, for Pete's sake.
10:03Why is breakfast so late?
10:04Well, I was over helping Mrs. Johnson get theirs.
10:07Well, I have an appointment with Mr. Griffin and I'm in a hurry.
10:10And the Johnsons can certainly get their own breakfast.
10:12Oh, no they can't.
10:13You know what Mrs. Johnson was doing?
10:15Trying to make toast in the waffle iron.
10:17Oh.
10:18Hazel, I'll go over and help them with lunch.
10:20You have enough to do here.
10:21Oh, thanks, Missy.
10:22We all gotta help them until they get back on their feet again.
10:25Now, wait a minute.
10:26They're not our problem.
10:27Oh, yes they are, Mr. B.
10:29They've been our friends for years.
10:30We can't desert them now in their hour of need.
10:33It's not a matter of deserting them.
10:35No, I've given Mr. Johnson my advice.
10:37You know what he was doing when I went over there?
10:38He was looking up the help wanted ads.
10:40Well, he's gonna need some additional income for a while.
10:42Oh, Mr. B.
10:43You know nobody in their right minds would hire him.
10:45He can't do anything.
10:47That's true.
10:48That's why I was wondering,
10:49couldn't you find something for him to do at your office?
10:51Of course not.
10:53I run a law firm, not a charity institution.
10:55Couldn't you recommend him to someone else, George?
10:58Oh, now, Dorothy, how could I do that?
11:00Are they going to starve, Dad?
11:02Of course not.
11:03Now, will you all please stop worrying?
11:05The Johnsons are going to be perfectly all right.
11:10Oh, this one sounds interesting, Harriet.
11:13Electronic expeditors wanted.
11:16We have immediate need for exceedingly aggressive men
11:19who abound in the ability to follow through on an assignment.
11:22Bet you, Herbert.
11:24Much of your work will be expediting purchase orders
11:27and in process manufacturing.
11:29But you must be willing and eager to pursue anything assigned to you.
11:34I'm willing and eager, Harriet.
11:36You always were, Herbert.
11:38Must be under 35.
11:40Oh, dear.
11:41Oh, that seemed to be rather the general attitude, doesn't it?
11:45Yes.
11:46I'll try to be home around six.
11:48All right, darling. Have a good day.
11:50You too.
11:51George.
11:52Hmm?
11:53Um, give my best to Mr. Griffin.
11:56I will.
11:57George.
11:58Hmm?
11:59Uh, Mr. Griffin must have a lot of employees.
12:02With all his enterprises, probably thousands.
12:05Well, then, with your recommendation, he could find a place for Mr. Johnson.
12:08No, Dorothy.
12:09George, someone has to help them.
12:11They're not equipped to function in today's world.
12:14Then how can I recommend him?
12:16Could you lie a little?
12:18No, I could not.
12:21Telemetry procedures analyst.
12:24Missile telemetry systems background.
12:27To review, evaluate, and improve telemetry data.
12:30Processing procedures.
12:32Oh, that sounds exciting, Herbert.
12:34You'd be part of our space program.
12:36I should like that.
12:37Well, I don't know if it's...
12:38Oh, Herbert, but do you think they'd make you go to the moon?
12:42Not right away, Harriet.
12:43There's probably a training period.
12:45Now, wait a minute, Mr. Johnson.
12:46That job sounds as if it might be real technical and scientific.
12:50You probably need college men.
12:51Oh, I'm a college graduate, Hazel.
12:53He majored in dead languages.
12:56The field has been somewhat of a disappointment to me,
12:58but I do read in it from time to time that there's been nobody to talk to.
13:04And I'll need your report for the stockholders' meeting.
13:06The 27th of next month?
13:08Well, that should be no problem.
13:09Where are you planning on holding it this year?
13:11The grand ballroom, as usual.
13:12Is Hazel coming?
13:13One sheriff's talk, and she'll be there.
13:16Hazel's all right.
13:17When she asks a question, it's intelligent.
13:19Most of those women are numbskulls.
13:21You mean the ones who question your salary?
13:23No, the ones who question how much I pay my attorney.
13:27Got you there, didn't I, Baxter?
13:32Yes?
13:33Mrs. Totter is here and insists upon seeing you.
13:37Tell her I'm in an important meeting and can't be disturbed.
13:41Stockholders drive me crazy.
13:43She's a stockholder?
13:44Yes, she's one of the numbskulls I mentioned.
13:47She keeps dropping in with some bright idea about how to run the business.
13:51Well, you don't have to pay any attention to her.
13:53Listen, when you have as much stock as Mrs. Totter...
13:57Yes?
13:58Mrs. Totter insists upon...
14:00Tell her there's a stockholders' meeting on the 27th of next month.
14:04Anything she has to say...
14:06I can't wait, Mr. Griffin.
14:07It's an emergency.
14:08I'm coming right in.
14:10All right, Mrs. Totter.
14:12Baxter, you've got to help me get rid of her.
14:14I don't know how to handle women.
14:16Now, you're a married man and...
14:18Oh, there you are, Mr. Griffin.
14:19I knew you wouldn't mind my dropping in for just a minute.
14:22Oh, hello, Mrs. Totter.
14:24May I introduce Mr. Baxter, my attorney?
14:26How do you do?
14:27Oh, my.
14:28You're very tall.
14:30I always think of attorneys as rather short men with briefcases.
14:34Well, we come in assorted sizes.
14:37He's cute.
14:38Well, as you can see, I'm back from Florida.
14:40Yes, I hope you had a nice trip.
14:42Oh, no.
14:43No, it didn't work out at all.
14:45Poor Freddy just couldn't stand it.
14:47He finally became so depressed that I had to take him back to New York to see his psychiatrist.
14:51Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
14:53Nothing serious, I hope.
14:54Oh, the poor darling was simply terrified by those palm trees.
14:58Now, his psychiatrist says that it is probably due to some traumatic experience he had as a puppy.
15:04A puppy?
15:05Yes, Baxter.
15:07Now, Mrs. Totter, what did you want to see me about?
15:11Oh, this.
15:12The minute I saw it, I just rushed down here.
15:15Isn't that the loveliest shade of yellow?
15:18Well, yes, it is pretty, I guess.
15:21Oh, I knew you'd agree with me.
15:24And brown is such a drab color for the company trucks.
15:28I get depressed every time I see one.
15:30So, why don't we call them all in and paint them all yellow?
15:35Paint them yellow?
15:37Well, we can't call in 2,000 trucks and paint them yellow.
15:40Not at the moment, Mrs. Totter, but I do admire your taste.
15:44That is a very cheerful color.
15:46When the time comes to paint the trucks, I assure you, Mr. Griffin will give your suggestion the proper attention it calls for.
15:52Won't you, Mr. Griffin?
15:53Oh, yes, yes.
15:55I do hope you will leave this lovely swatch.
15:57Oh, why, certainly.
15:59Mrs. Totter, it has been a pleasure meeting you, and I will enjoy seeing you again at the stockholders' meeting.
16:04Oh, I'll be there.
16:05Don't forget to come up and say hello.
16:07Goodbye, Mrs. Totter.
16:09Goodbye, Mr. Baxter.
16:11Goodbye, Mr. Griffin.
16:12Goodbye.
16:14Well, Baxter, I take my hat off to you.
16:18I'm afraid I gave her the bums rush.
16:20But she didn't know it.
16:22Why, it's sometimes taken me an hour to get rid of her.
16:25Maybe it's because I never married.
16:27I don't understand women, Baxter.
16:29Don't know the first thing about them.
16:31Thank heaven you were here.
16:33Glad to be of service.
16:35Well, I owe you a favor.
16:37Anything I can do, just name it.
16:39No, no, no.
16:43As a matter of fact, there is.
16:45Oh?
16:46Mr. Griffin, in all your enterprises, would you have any use anywhere for a translator of dead languages?
16:53Dead languages? Of course not.
16:55What are you talking about?
16:57Well, nothing really.
16:58I have a neighbor who's seeking a position.
17:00Is that all he can do, translate dead languages?
17:02Well, no, he has been an investor.
17:05Oh? Who is he?
17:06His name is Herbert Johnson.
17:08I believe you met him once.
17:09His father was Carl Johnson.
17:11Carl Johnson? The Tiger of Wall Street?
17:14Why, he was a boyhood idol of mine.
17:16Cornered the market on weeds and made millions.
17:19And this is his boy?
17:21Yes, but...
17:22By golly, Carl Johnson's boy.
17:24I don't suppose he ever cornered the market in anything.
17:27Well, as a matter of fact, he has.
17:29At this very moment, he's cornered the market on a whale bone.
17:32He has 485 tons of it.
17:34You don't say so.
17:35Well, the old tiger would be proud.
17:37Well, I don't know, Mr. Griffin.
17:39What can a person do with 485 tons of whale bone?
17:42Baxter, you've led too protected a life.
17:45They make corsets out of it.
17:47Mr. Griffin, I...
17:48Now, have Johnson come in and see me.
17:50I like his initiative.
17:51Mr. Griffin, whale bone is not used in corsets.
17:54Oh, yes, it is. My mother wore them.
17:56I don't know if Johnson might fit into the purchasing department.
18:01Well, Harriet, thanks to George, I at least have an interview.
18:05Oh, I think it's very exciting, Herbert.
18:07With all Mr. Griffin's enterprises,
18:09he'll probably make you president of a large corporation.
18:12Let's not be too optimistic, my dear.
18:15I believe it's customary for presidents of large corporations
18:19to have worked their way up from office boy.
18:21Oh, well, that doesn't seem quite fair, does it?
18:24Everyone should have a chance.
18:26Oh, you've not disturbed him, have you?
18:29Not disturbed in the least.
18:31I shall be perfectly contented as president of a small corporation.
18:35Ain't he terrific, Missy?
18:37I knew he wouldn't let the Johnsons down.
18:39Oh, I'm so glad, George.
18:40Now, listen to me, both of you.
18:42I didn't arrange for the meeting.
18:43I don't even know how it happened, really.
18:45All I did was ask Mr. Griffin
18:47if he could use an interpreter of dead languages.
18:49Well, the main thing is that Mr. Johnson's going to get a job.
18:52Hazel, Mr. Johnson is not going to get a job.
18:55Mr. Griffin is a very hard-headed businessman,
18:58and I assure you by now he knows all about the whalebone.
19:01Well, don't you think Mr. Johnson has a chance, George?
19:04Well, looking at the bright side of it, I'd say one in a million.
19:07Well, I'm glad you don't look on the dark side.
19:09It might have got discouraging.
19:17Oh, good morning.
19:18I have an appointment with Mr. Griffin.
19:21I'm Mr. Johnson.
19:22Oh, well, Mr. Griffin is busy at the moment.
19:24Won't you sit down?
19:25Oh, thank you. I will.
19:27The magazine's on the table.
19:28Oh, thank you.
19:40May I help you?
19:41Well, I don't seem to find Collier's or Liberty.
19:46I believe they're no longer published.
19:49You don't say.
19:50Well, I'll just look at this one with the rabbit on the cover.
19:58Oh.
20:06Will Mr. Griffin be long?
20:09Oh, I don't think so.
20:10He's with a stockholder.
20:13We've known each other for a long time, ain't we?
20:15Indeed we have, Hazel.
20:17Good.
20:18Well, then I feel that I can be frank with you,
20:20because you and me is the same kind of people.
20:22We just never amounted to much.
20:24Well, what do you mean?
20:25I'm the head of nine corporations.
20:27Did you ever graduate from grade school?
20:29Well, no. I went to work.
20:31Well, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
20:33You should have studied nights like I did,
20:35and then you would have got a grade school diploma.
20:37I am a successful businessman.
20:39Oh, yeah? Can you speak any dead languages?
20:41Well, no.
20:42Well, Mr. Johnson can, and that's a sign of class.
20:44You just ask him any question,
20:46and he'll fire the answer back in Latin or Greek or any of them dead languages.
20:50Well, what good is that?
20:51I wouldn't know what he was talking about.
20:53Well, I'm glad you're a big enough man to admit it.
20:56Now, I wrote a letter of recommendation for Mr. Johnson,
20:59and I'd like you to read it, because it'll only take a minute.
21:02We've lived next to them for nine years now,
21:05and he never gives no noisy parties,
21:07and every kid in the neighborhood loves him,
21:09and he's kind to animals.
21:10So I know he could do a terrific job for you,
21:12if you just let him.
21:13All right, I'll read it.
21:15All right, and let your conscience be your guide.
21:17But if you don't give him the job,
21:19then you can just say goodbye to my brownies.
21:22Diesel, what a pleasant surprise.
21:25Well, it's amazing to see you here.
21:28This is my day off.
21:29I just dropped by to say hello to Mr. Griffin.
21:32Well, what are you doing here for some special reason?
21:36Yes, didn't George tell you?
21:38I'm here to discuss employment.
21:40Well, no kidding. Ain't that terrific?
21:43Yes, sir.
21:44Please ask Mr. Johnson to come in.
21:46Yes, sir.
21:48You may go in now.
21:49You may go in now.
21:50Oh, thank you.
21:51Well, good luck, Mr. Johnson.
21:53Thank you, Hazel.
21:54I'm sure everything will go swimmingly.
21:59Oh, dear.
22:00He's just as trusting as a child.
22:02If you don't mind,
22:03I'm just going to sit here and see how he makes out.
22:06Sure, Hazel. Go ahead.
22:09Oh, hi, Mr. B.
22:11Hazel, what are you doing here?
22:13Oh, well, I just happened to be in the neighborhood,
22:15so I thought I'd look in and see how he made out.
22:18That's ridiculous.
22:20You'll find out tonight anyway.
22:22Mr. Baxter,
22:24I don't seem to have you down for an appointment.
22:27Oh, well, I had another meeting in the building,
22:30and I thought as long as I could...
22:32Have a magazine, Mr. B.
22:36Wait.
22:38He hasn't a chance, you know.
22:39Oh, well, I'd engage him in a minute.
22:42To do what?
22:44I guess he hasn't got much of a chance.
22:48Oh, well, Mr. Baxter,
22:50how nice seeing you again.
22:52Hello, Mrs. Totter.
22:54Another color for the trucks?
22:56Oh, no.
22:58This is for the driver's uniforms.
23:00Isn't it lovely?
23:01I'm going to show it to Mr. Griffin right away.
23:03Mrs. Totter, I'm sorry.
23:04He's with a Mr. Herbert Johnson.
23:06Herbert Johnson?
23:07Oh, my dear.
23:08Herbie won't mind.
23:09I've known him since I was a little girl.
23:13Well, for Pete's sake,
23:15Well, for Pete's sake.
23:17Oh, that'll ruin everything.
23:19I'm sorry. She always does that.
23:21I know. I know.
23:22She has a lot of nerve.
23:23What she's got is a lot of stock.
23:25Boy, you should see her at the meetings.
23:27Does she ask dumb questions?
23:29Of course, if she knows Mr. Johnson,
23:31maybe she can put in a good word for him.
23:32She never done anything right in her life.
23:34She don't say she might recommend Mr. Johnson.
23:40And, Mrs. Totter,
23:42I hope you'll explain the whole concept
23:44to my assistant, Mr. Johnson.
23:46And you really do like the color,
23:48don't you, Herbie?
23:49Oh, yes, I think it's excellent.
23:51Green, isn't it?
23:53Uh, Miss Adams,
23:54I want you to arrange for Mr. Johnson
23:56to have the office next door.
23:58From now on,
23:59all stockholders and their crackpot...
24:03crackerjack ideas are to be referred to him.
24:06Oh, this is exciting.
24:07Thank you, Mr. Griffin.
24:08Oh, forget it.
24:09You're doing me the favor.
24:11We'll discuss salary
24:12after you get back from lunch.
24:14Marvelous. Come along, George, Hazel, Violet.
24:16You're all my guests.
24:18Thanks, Harvey.
24:19My pleasure.
24:20You got some brownies coming, Mr. Griffin.
24:23I'll be waiting for them, Hazel.
24:25Come along, everybody.
24:26Let's not keep luncheon waiting.
24:28Come along, let's go.
24:29I want to get back, you know.
24:30I've got my...
24:31Oh, Mr. Griffin,
24:32when stockholders bring me their ideas,
24:34will I have full authority?
24:36Uh, Mr. Johnson,
24:37you will have absolutely no authority whatsoever.
24:40Oh, splendid, splendid.
24:42That would have worried me.
