Original subtitles

Mr. Sutton, you've been a railroad tycoon

for many years.

Surely there must be something that you have

that you can raise operating money on.

Old bonds, real estate, perhaps your wife's jewelry.

No, everything's mortgaged to the hilt.

A man of your wealth. There must be something.

Yes, there is something.

'Something more valuable than anything else on Earth.'

But you know, Maverick.

I can't even raise a dime on it.

What are you talking about?

Maverick.

Starring, Jack Kelly and James Garner.

A Warner Brothers television production.

Pardon me, do you have any mail for maverick?

Mr. Maverick.

- Bart Maverick, isn't it? - Yes.

I'm Roger Cushman.

We met in Denver last year, do you remember?

Oh, yes, of course.

You introduced me to that game at the bankers convention.

Exactly.

I remember that game with great affection.

Tell me what's the scourge of the poker table's doing here

in San Francisco?

I'm on my way to herald's club.

Oh. Why go way out there?

Specially when there's a good game

going on upstairs at Peakin' club.

Oh, yes, I heard of that game.

I also heard those millionaires use railroads as poker chips.

But it's a private club. By invitation only.

It is.

But I can get you in.

If you'll do something for me.

My reason being, uh, Mr. Maverick.

Is that, uh, I just lost $30,000 in that game.

I'd like to get even.

Phew.

If I recall, you're quite adept at poker.

Well, I've had my share of luck.

You're being modest, Mr. Maverick.

It's more than luck.

Why, you've reduced poker to a science.

I know one of those gentlemen upstairs.

My Uncle George is one of them.

'Banking and industrial tycoons, all richer than Croesus.'

But when it comes to poker, they're amateurs.

'A man with your skill would have very little trouble'

'in cleaning up.'

I haven't that kind of money.

I'd back you.

Then you wouldn't need money to get into the game.

What do you get out of this?

25% of your winnings.

You know I might, uh, I might just get into a pot

over my head.

You won't lose.

There's nothing that says, a man can't hit a losing streak.

I told I would back any loss you may sustain.

Is it a deal?

It's your money.

Good.

Uncle George.

I'd like you to meet Col. Bart Maverick.

He owns half of Texas.

'I met him last year in Denver during the bankers convention.'

'He's just arrived in town looking for some excitement.'

I told him that you gentlemen

might have just the brand he's searching for.

Maverick?

The east Texas Maverick, sir.

- Thank you. - What's your limit, colonel?

Whatever yours are, sir.

I'm George Cushman as my nephew may have told you.

This is Leighton Borg.

'Taber Scott.'

'Paul Sutton.'

Picked up a Titian last week. Man With A Glove.

A Titian. That's the way the Italians pronounce it.

I got it for almost nothing.

Near $100,000.

Well, Titian's alright to decorate the walls with.

'My wife says Leonardo da Vinci is the... '

Vivian..

'Well, you know how wives are, George.'

My wife says da Vinci's Mona Lisa's

the greatest painting of all times.

Such a pity, gentlemen.

That the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre last year.

Great loss to the world of art.

What are your cultural interests, colonel?

Engravings, sir.

Engravings?

Especially the ones on 1000 dollar bills.

Raise your 10,000.

Call.

It's always nice to win the last hand of the night.

Gentlemen.

Uh, colonel, I make it $25,000.

'Your check will be entirely acceptable.'

I'm afraid my check won't be good at all.

'I don't have that money.'

'I'm sorry it turned out like this, Roger.'

I guess this is one check you'll have to write out.

What's all this about?

Well, I don't know, I can't understand.

Now just a minute, Roger. We had a deal.

'You were to share my winnings and back my losses.'

'I told you I might lose.'

I'm afraid I don't understand you at all, colonel.

Gentlemen, I'm not a colonel, and I'm not a Texas cattleman.

That was your idea.

I'm terribly sorry, gentlemen, but as I told you..

I met him Denver.

He claimed to be Col. Maverick.

He spent great deal of money at the convention. When I ran

into him at the lobby downstairs I assumed that..

I rather think he took advantage of me, gentlemen.

Yes, rather.

Well, Paul, I'm afraid he's your problem.

I don't know who you are but you owe me $25,000

'and I intend to get payment.'

Legitimate debts.

I wouldn't dare done provoked assault

to your troubles, Maverick.

I'm sorry, but I don't have the money.

If you'll take my owe you.

No.

I'm not going to let you off that easily.

I'm tired of deadbeats and tinhorn gamblers

'who are always trying to crash into games like this.'

'There's a statute here that says a man is liable'

'for his gambling debts.'

And I intend to use it.

Now either you work out your debt.

Or I'll prosecute you to the full extent of the law.

I'm afraid I won't much help around at office.

'Good.'

'Cause the job I have for you is at my house.

You be there tomorrow morning.

Or you'll spend your next five years in a penitentiary.

Yes, sir. What is your address?

Good morning.

I'm Bart Maverick.

I've been expecting you.

But at the back door, Mr. Maverick.

'Let him in.'

Oh.

How nice, Paul.

We have a guest for dinner.

He's not a guest, Rheba.

This is Col. Maverick.

He's consented to work for us.

Oh, dear.

Paul, we do need more help.

But wouldn't a colonel be a little expensive?

He does come a bit high.

Paul, I hope you don't mind. I was on my way out.

I must see to the catering for tomorrow.

- Catering? - Yes, for dinner, of course.

Oh, dear. I forgot.

You've been away.

Well, it's my turn this year. And for charity, of course.

'The Wagnerian soprano'

Madam Hydelman and her piano accompanist

have agreed to entertain us for only $2000.

But, Rheba, I asked you to cut down a bit.

'At least until the railroad is completed.'

'But it's for charity.'

The dock workers milk fund.

Besides, all the best people will be here.

Ahem.

A message, sir. From your office.

Something wrong, father?

'Trouble in Sacramento.'

I'll have to leave immediately.

Oh, Paul, hors d'oeuvre?

I'll try to be back in time.

See that the colonel is put to work.

Hmm? Oh.

Well, I'm so pleased you offered to work for us.

Colonel.

Uh, Ann, you see that he's made comfortable.

I think the south wing guestroom might be nice, don't you think?

You don't look like an experienced

man-servant, colonel.

What are your qualifications?

None and I'm not really a colonel, Miss Sutton.

My name is Maverick, Bart Maverick.

But father said..

Why did father hire you?

Oh, indentured would be a better word for it.

You might say I'm under long term contract.

Well, how long do you intend to stay with us?

About ten years.

Then we'll start you off polishing silver with Crimmins.

This is colonel..

Mr. Maverick.

He'll be under your supervision.

As Mr. Maverick's talents seem to lie elsewhere

than as a man-servant I suggest you give him the benefit

of your long experience with us.

Gentlemen's man?

My own man until this afternoon.

We'll do the silverware first.

Then I'll show you the kitchen.

The kitchen?

I thought I was supposed to help you here.

My dear Maverick.

A good servant never questions his duties.

He knows what they are instinctively.

He's born with that knowledge.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

I can't understand what this new breed of domestics

is coming to.

I'm sorry, Crimmins, I was not born to service.

I thought the kitchen help...

There is no kitchen help, Maverick.

You mean we have to work in the kitchen too?

After you're through with the dishes..

I'll show you how to clean the rooms.

'Then if we have time today, you'll work in the stables.'

They've been neglected lately.

I really haven't had time.

I would have been better off on devil's island.

Devil's island?

What happened to the rest of the help, Crimmins?

A good servant never gossips, Maverick.

But..

I'm afraid you won't be here very long.

You're afraid?

It may come as a shock.

Needing the work as you probably do.

But Mr. Sutton's on the verge..

Of bankruptcy.

You don't say.

Used to be half dozen domestics in Mr. Sutton's employ.

And not counting the outside help.

In the past six months, he's had to let them all go.

It's that new railroad he's building down

in the valley.

He's invested all his personal fortune in it.

Well, and now.

Mrs., uh, Madame Hydleman is going to entertain us

with her famous aria from Die Gotterdammerung.

Ahem.

No, thank you.

Uh-uh.

Just a moment, my good man.

I'll have one of those.

Oh, you lumbering idiot.

You did that on purpose.

You uncouth, incompetent Texas..

Sorry, sir, but my nerves are not

what they should be, lately.

I'll see that you're discharged for this, Maverick.

You did that deliberately.

I'll see your paid your time in the morning.

I hated to break into the evening's entertainment

gentlemen.

Glad you did, Paul.

I couldn't have stood more of that caterwauling.

Madame Hydleman's considered one of Europe's greatest

opera stars.

'Gentlemen, if you don't mind.'

I have some bad news.

There's been another delay.

A bad slide at southern cut.

I'll need an extension on the loan, George.

Paul, a completion schedule is exactly that.

'You're an experienced railroad man.'

'You shouldn't have overextended yourself.'

The bad breaks that have slowed us down

could not have been foreseen.

But should have been allowed for.

Fact remains that I can't complete on schedule

'without your help.'

I'm going to need an extension on the loan

'and an additional half million dollars.'

Now we're all friends here.

Friends, certainly, but this is business, Paul.

Of course, I'm only speaking for myself

but I'm against throwing good money after bad.

I'm not asking only for myself.

A lot of stockholders will be wiped out along with me.

I've already donated a 100,000 to charity this year.

I am not asking for charity.

If there's nothing else, Paul.

Nothing.

The board meets on Monday.

We'll check your figures closely and consider your request.

You'll have our decision then.

There you are, dear Ann.

I've been looking all over for you.

Why, what's wrong?

I'm worried about father. He promised to be here.

Oh, he's back.

Crimmins was sponging me off when he was called

into the study.

Your father asked him to fetch Uncle George and the others.

The tie up on the railroad

must have been worse than father expected.

The railroad?

Yes.

He's put every cent he has into it.

You're joking.

You mean everything?

Will it make it any difference marrying a penniless heiress?

Marriage?

You did ask me to marry you.

That was last January.

Before you found that about my father's financial difficulties.

Oh, Ann.

I'm glad we understand each other.

Look, we're both used to money

and we know what money can buy.

I didn't know love could be bought.

Oh, come off it, Ann.

Don't give me that love in a garrote routine.

It doesn't become you.

Two people like each other, there's no reason why we can't.

Have I cheapened that quickly?

Very good. And very good.

You're a big girl. Don't give me that finishing school act.

You clumsy..

I'll see that you get ten years in jail.

You tinhorn gambler.

Let him be.

I must have appeared quite small throwing myself

at a man like Roger.

No.

It isn't he refusing me that hurts.

I'm not in love with him.

I tried to make myself believe that I was.

Hoping in some way it might help father.

By marrying him?

He's George Cushman's nephew.

Yes, but I still don't think your father would wish that.

Even if it would save his railroad.

You know my old pappy taught us mavericks..

There were lot worse things in life

than being broke.

Of course, I must admit he didn't know of any.

You're a most unusual and most comforting manservant, Bart.

Thank you.

Come in.

Night cap, sir?

Is there anything you want from me in the morning?

No, nothing.

In fact, there won't be anything

for you to do around here. You're free to go.

Oh, no.

It's a matter of a gambling debt, Mr. Sutton.

Honesty? And a gambler?

Your candor is refreshing at least.

Did Roger Cushman make that deal with you?

He was among friends, I was a stranger there.

I hardly expected anyone to believe me.

You know, I believe you.

I will have that night cap. Will you join me?

Thank you.

'I take it, you've been talking to Crimmins.'

Oh, no, uh, he did the talking I did the listening.

Then you already know that I'm on the verge of bankruptcy.

Is it that bad?

'I'm over extended a million dollars worth.'

'I'm working against the completion schedule'

'on the railroad.'

Which I can't meet without an extension

of my loan and a half million dollars

in additional capital.

Now, that shouldn't be hard to negotiate

considering the amount of money behind your friends I met

in that poker game.

Friends?

Those friends, Maverick, former board of investors

from which I got my loan.

Between them, they control the credit in the state.

'Tonight, unofficially they turned my request down.'

Mr. Sutton, you've been a railroad tycoon for many years.

Surely there must be something that you have

that you can raise operating money on.

Old bonds, real estate, perhaps your wife's jewelry.

Now, everything's mortgaged up to the hilt.

A man of your wealth, there must be something.

Yes, there is something.

Something I've never shown to anybody else.

'Not even my wife or my daughter.'

Something more valuable than anything else on Earth.

But you know, Maverick.

I can't even raise a dime on it.

What are you talking about?

She's even more beautiful than I imagined.

George Cushman has his Polish Writer by Rembrandt.

Scott has his Raphaels.

Borg has his Botticellis.

But I've got the most precious art treasure of them all.

I have got the Mona Lisa.

I read in the newspaper that it was stolen.

That's why I can't do anything with it.

Oh, I knew it was stolen when I bought it.

That makes me as guilty as the thief

who took it from the Louvre.

But there's something I just couldn't resist.

Think of it, Maverick.

The most famous master piece in the world.

Men like George Cushman would sell their birthright

to own it.

You make it sound like a contest.

Acquiring famous paintings.

Not only paintings, Maverick.

Why the culture of the world

is available to the man who can afford it.

I didn't know culture could be bought.

It can't.

We wouldn't know real culture if we fell over it.

Men like Cushman, Scott, me.

We weren't born to wealth.

We clawed our way up.

Painting must be worth half a million dollars.

That's enough to save your railroad.

Worthless to me.

You ever thought of going back to the man you got it from?

Uh, it's part of the transaction.

Cash on the line and no return.

And for obvious reasons I was advised

to keep the deal a secret.

Who is he?

I promised not to reveal his name.

Mr. Sutton, you may have to reveal his name.

If your creditors get a hold of that painting.

How about letting me talk to him?

I might be able to persuade him

to take the painting off your hands

and dispose of it to one of your wealthier friends.

'On the same basis of which he sold it to you.'

It's worth a try.

There's a small art dealer on king street..

Named Cosmo Nardi.

'May I help you, sir?'

Bart Maverick.

Duke.

Duke Delaney.

It's Cosmo Nardi, Bart.

Connoisseur of fine arts, dealer in ancient masterpieces

of the Renaissance.

What brings you to San Francisco?

I just followed fog.

My old pappy always told me that travel

broadens the imagination.

Keeping you a jump ahead of the police.

In your case, perhaps.

I still remember that night in New Orleans

when you passed yourself off as a French Consul

to get invited to that private poker game

in the Mayor's house.

That's the night I was forced to duel

to defend the honor and glory of the Republic, eh?

- I was your second. - I ended up in jail.

B-but I bailed you out with...

With $20 bills that you were making

in your place on Ramparts street.

I didn't wait around to find out

what happened to you, Duke.

I left New Orleans the same day you did.

But not in the same direction.

How do you like my shop?

It's a fine front.

I told you, I'm a respected art expert here

running a legitimate business.

What do you know about art?

As much as my customers do.

They want paintings, sculptures, Ming vases.

I try to get it for them.

There's big money in it, Bart.

Big money.

I could use a man like you.

Oh, no, thanks.

My stomach is weak for what they serve in California prisons.

Prisons?

I told you I run an honest business.

Selling stolen paintings?

Oh, you've been misinformed.

Didn't you sell a painting to Paul Sutton?

That was stolen from the Louvre in Paris.

Sutton?

The railroad man, lives an hour up hill.

He's a very good friend of mine, Duke.

You sold him the Mona Lisa..

A year ago.

Oh.

Oh, that painting.

Yeah, that painting.

You old charlatan.

Ha ha ha.

Leonardo da Vinci himself couldn't tell

the difference.

This town is full of overnight millionaires

and overweight dowagers each one trying to outdo each other.

The demand is terrific.

Mostly for famous paintings.

And they all pay in good hard American cash.

Well, except one deadbeat, name of Roger Cushman.

'Still owes me for a painting and a genuine one too.'

Roger Cushman hooked you.

- Friend of yours? - Hardly.

If I ever get the chance to sink my hooks into him...

Mona Lisa, that Sutton has.

They're one of these?

Sold it to him few weeks after the San Francisco papers

carried the story about the real Mona Lisa being stolen.

Oh, if only another masterpiece like that was stolen..

I could double my business.

How many of these fakes have you sold?

- Seven. - Seven?

One just last week to Saracei Jones, the wheat king.

Oh, this beats counterfeiting.

Practically fool proof.

My customers think they're buying

a stolen masterpiece.

I tell them they cannot show it to anybody.

If they do, the painting will be confiscated

and they will end up serving a jail sentence.

Ha ha ha.

This keeps them quiet and me in business.

Ha ha ha.

Hey Duke..

Have you got a list of these people

who have bought the Mona Lisa's?

Yes, I've got them jotted down right here.

Uh, you mind, if I copy some of those names?

You starting a sucker list of your own, Bart?

Uh.

Well it seem you got something up your sleeve.

I know that look.

If that friend of yours, Mr. Sutton..

If he wants his money back, uh..

Let him keep the painting.

He doesn't know it now but that lady with the smile

is going to help me out of a hole.

Uh, Mr. Naughty.

- Good evening. - Yes.

I'd like to see Mr. Cushman, please.

Your business, sir?

Well, um, my business is with Mr. Cushman.

But you can tell him that it's about a painting.

A very important painting by da Vinci.

I don't quite understand your reason for worming

your way into my house, Maverick

but I'll give you exactly five minutes.

I only need three minutes, Mr. Cushman.

I know you have the Mona Lisa.

I admit it was probably a mere indiscretion on your part.

I could deny possession, you know.

Of course.

The authorities would find it sooner or later.

Once they started searching.

Alright.

What do you want as a price for your silence?

Half million dollars.

Operating expenses for the valley line railroad.

And an extension on Paul Sutton's loan.

Did Paul put you up for this?

No. It was my idea.

Blackmail.

Big business, Mr. Cushman.

Mr. Sutton got himself into a hole.

And you, as I mentioned earlier, bought indiscreetly.

What do you get out of this?

I get out of a gambling debt.

On which your nephew reneged.

Even if I were to vote favorably next Monday

on Sutton's request it still might not be approved.

Approval of a loan or it's extension

takes the unanimous vote of the board.

I'm certain the others will vote as you do, sir.

You overestimate my influence, Maverick.

On matters of this nature, the board votes

by secret ballots.

All I want is your word.

That your decision will be favorable.

Well, at the moment I have no choice.

How did you find out about the Mona Lisa?

I never expose my whole card, Mr. Cushman

until the play is called.

Goodnight, sir.

A Mona Lisa. Remember?

The lady with the smile?

The painting by da Vinci.

You know the one stolen from the Louvre.

It could mean 20 years.

I'd like you to consider a deal.

If I spoke to the members of the board

to get them your grant and the extension in money

you need, would you cancel my gambling debt?

If by some miracle you can manage that

I'll not only cancel your gambling debt

I'll add a $10,000 bonus for you.

Thank you, Mr. Sutton.

I've already taken the liberty of talking

to the members of the board on your behalf.

They've all agreed to consider your request

on Monday morning.

How did you do that?

With a smile, Mr. Sutton.

Ah.

Dear Uncle George.

You wanted to see me?

Yes.

Out of consideration for your departed father

'and your dear mother I have tolerated'

your empty-headed, weak-spined foppery.

Maybe I have even abetted it.

But it's got to stop.

It's got to stop now.

It was your doing getting that Maverick

'into our private poker party, wasn't it?'

Yes, Uncle George, I told you he took advantage of me.

Besides, I don't know why you're so upset.

He didn't take money from you.

But he got tied in with Paul Sutton because of it.

I want you to get rid of him.

Who? Paul Sutton?

No, Maverick.

Get rid of him and quietly.

You mean kill?

No, no, not murder.

You'd only botch it up and we'd end up on the gallows.

Just get him out of San Francisco, anywhere.

So that he's a long way from here by next Monday.

But Uncle George, I don't know how to do these things.

Fail me and I'll cut off your allowance

'from your father's trust fund.'

Very well, sir.

I'll give you a tip.

Try the waterfront.

The waterfront?

Captain Bly.

Aye. That's me mate.

Of the ship, the Orion?

We don't usually carry passengers.

I'm not seeking passage, captain.

I understand you're of short-handed.

- The pay is ten a month. - It's not for me, captain.

But I do have someone for you.

He'd make an excellent hand.

Mm-hmm.

Where is he?

His name is Maverick. Bart Maverick.

But I'd have to get him for you.

'I may need some help.'

You mean shanghai?

I believe that's the word you use.

What's the shanghai business is coming to with dudes like you

gettin' in to it?

But, for the proper consideration.

What kind of a seadog is he?

Spavined and whiskey-gutted?

Oh, no, no, he's a fine looking specimen.

As a matter of fact, he's much healthier

than you or me.

What I'm trying to say, captain, is, uh..

He may be hard to handle.

I'd like to give you a hand

but I've got a small business transaction

to take care of tonight just before sailin'.

'Five dollars a piece, they'd be glad'

'to take care of your friend.'

For ten, they'd even cut his throat for you.

Thank you.

That won't be necessary.

I'll just be here a minute.

Bart.

Father won't be needing the coat tonight.

Maybe we can take a drive?

I don't think Crimmins would like that, do you?

Maverick, you may consider that an order.

My pleasure, ma'am.

Mr. Larouche.

Ah, monsieur.

Can I be of some assistance?

I'm Mr. Sutton's man.

I'm here to pick up his opera coat.

Monsieur Sutton?

Yes, the big railroad tycoon.

I have no coat for Monsieur Sutton.

Now, you are Mr. Sutton's tailor, aren't you?

I was, monsieur..

But no longer.

- No coat? - No coat.

He is already far behind in his bill.

And I have heard rumors, unpleasant rumors

about his business affairs.

I have heard that his railroad is a... no good.

And the stock that I've bought has gone..

Psstt.

You're trying to tell me you didn't send that note?

And such a bad handwriting too, monsieur.

Thank you.

Take him!

There she is, Cosmo.

As fresh and pretty as the day Mr. Ming

baked her 500 years ago.

She cost me a pretty penny too, I can tell you.

In Shanghai it was.

The man I got it from claimed it was stolen from a temple.

How much?

Well..

Seen as how we've done business together before.

I'll pull an anchor tonight!

I'll let you have her for $5,000.

What's the matter with you?

You could get at least $10,000 for it from those muckamucks

you sell to up in the hill.

Genuine Ming, eh?

Non genuine, huh?

Look at the color.

Bright color.

As bright as the day as they were put on.

Yes, that's what Ming is, Cosmo.

Color.

You know, old Sang told me that in Singapore.

Cosmo, that's $5,000 worth a vase there.

It's cracked, but I'll give you a 1,000.

What's the matter with you, man?

I gave more than that for it myself.

Well, if you paid more than 500, you get hooked.

I-I'm no sailor I told you.

I get sea sick even looking too long at a glass of water.

I've got some recruitment business to attend to, Cosmo.

Captain, here he is.

Your new stoker.

It's a little soft.

A few weeks works shoveling coal in to the Orion's boilers

will soon harden him up.

Captain Bly.

What are you doing with Roger Cushman?

Cushman?

'I was told his name was Maverick.'

Of course.

Him? Maverick?

You really got yourself in to a jam this time.

This is George Cushman's nephew.

'You know the Cushman National Bank, Cushman's?'

Now, just what are you trying to pull, mister?

'You want me to get strung from the yards of me on ship?'

Oh, he's mistaken.

That's Bart maverick. I'm Roger Cushman.

Well, you know me. I've been in your shop..

A dozen times with my uncle.

I know the Cushman family quite well.

They're good customers of mine.

I never saw this man before.

He's lying I tell you! I am Roger Cushman!

'I'll prove it!'

Look! My Beacon club membership card.

Here's my tailor's bill with my name on it.

Oh! He's a thief too.

Wait till my Uncle George hears about this.

I was attacked and robbed

as I was walking out of my tailor shop.

You can't get away with that, Maverick.

I am Roger Cushman!

Captain, I made a deal with you.

I've delivered your man. Now, take him!

All I know is that I need a stoker.

Will somebody get me a chair, please?

I shouldn't be on my feet this long. My back, you know?

The old sciatica coming back again.

He's faking!

I know, Maverick he's as strong as a bull!

I-I don't know what kind of a story he's been telling you.

When I get these attacks..

I get so weak, I can't..

I can't even lift anything as light as... Oh, why you..

Why?

Why you blundering nut-headed gully blessed for an idiot.

- I... - That was worth $10,000!

'I am sorry, captain, I..'

'I didn't mean to. It was an accident.'

- I'll pay for it. - $10,000.

Yes. Whatever it's worth.

Captain, do you think a man who'd around shanghaiing people

would have $10,000?

- Well, I... - Well?

'I don't have it with me but I'll give it in the morning..'

Anne.

Here's my fiance. She'll tell you who I am.

Roger, what have they done to you?

Anne.

How dare you, captain?

Are you the man responsible for having my fiancee attacked

and brought here like..

Some common thief?

Your fiancee?

Darling, now, don't blame the captain. He didn't know.

He thought I was somebody named Maverick.

You poor boy.

And who is he?

Who is he?

My new stoker, ma'am.

Anne, you can't let them do this.

'Anne, you can't let them do this!'

'Anne!'

Mr. Sutton is outside to see you, sir.

Good morning, gentlemen.

I see you're all hard at work.

Oh, come, now, gentlemen, that's no way to start a day.

Remember, a smile.

'One of man's greatest treasures.'

Oh, incidentally, Mr. Cushman

your nephew asked me to tell you that he's taking a trip..

To China.

Oh, uh, George, about that loan..

Yes, Paul, if you'll please wait outside.

'The board is just about to vote.'

I'm grateful, gentlemen..

For the loan and the extension.

But what made you change your mind?

Oh, just a matter of good business, Paul.

Once we had an opportunity to go over your figures.

My wife says that inside of three years

the valley land railroad...

Gentlemen. Gentlemen, have you heard?

It's too exciting for words.

The Mona Lisa.

It's been recovered.

'They've got it back in the Louvre.'

'That should make art lovers all over the world very happy.'
