This was given to me
by a very nice young man.

331

- You should know him. Finch?
- Yes, ma'am?

332

- How are you, son?
- Hi. How do you do?

334
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:19,653
Mr. Gatch is a good man for you to know.

335
00:20:19,677 --> 00:20:20,997
His department is very important.

Yes, C-H. Say, Jonesie,
this is a smart one.

I hear he has a fine opening
in his department.

Yes, but he hasn't been able
to make up his mind.

Well, again,
thanks for the flower, young man.

well, longer than I have.

turned the job over to Bud.

when you called. Go ahead, Finch.

Mr. Twimble,
the great thing that you've taught me

428
00:24:18,582 --> 00:24:21,586
is that no individual
is as important as the whole company.

is as important as the company.

than any single player.

than one piece of lettuce.

- No. He...

- Damn corporate procedures.
- I agree with you, Mr. Ovington.

Why, it's criminal the way
they shift personnel without checking.

No, no, no. He has a private
telephone he keeps locked up in a cabinet,

Hey, quite a layout. My favourite style.

1476
01:26:35,649 --> 01:26:37,447
Chinese provincial.

1477
01:26:39,486 --> 01:26:42,006
- Ponty, I want you and me to be friends.
- Oh, Bud. Now, come on.

1478
01:26:42,030 --> 01:26:44,829
- You know, smoke a peace pipe.
- Oh, look, would you...

1479
01:26:44,950 --> 01:26:46,827
- You never liked me.
- Bud, now don't...

1480
01:26:46,952 --> 01:26:49,455
Don't deny it.
It's true, and I don't blame you.

1481
01:26:49,538 --> 01:26:52,462
- I've been a no-good, back biting fink!
- Oh, now, Bud, come on.

1482
01:26:52,499 --> 01:26:54,672
I think that puts it a bit strong.

1483
01:26:54,793 --> 01:26:56,636
How would you put it?

1484
01:26:57,629 --> 01:27:00,382
- I guess your way is best.
- I wanna change all that.

1485
01:27:00,465 --> 01:27:02,360
- Now, I know you're stuck for an idea, so...
- Wait a minute!

1486
01:27:02,384 --> 01:27:04,278
- I'm not stuck for an idea.
- I know you're stuck for an idea.

1487
01:27:04,302 --> 01:27:05,446
But I'm not stuck for an idea.

1488
01:27:05,470 --> 01:27:06,614
I know you're stuck for an idea,

1489
01:27:06,638 --> 01:27:08,282
and I was thinking that
give away shows are coming back.

1490
01:27:08,306 --> 01:27:09,979
I don't need anyone else's idea.

1491
01:27:10,016 --> 01:27:12,565
What did you say about a give away show?

1492
01:27:12,644 --> 01:27:14,692
I have this dandy idea
for a give away program.

1493
01:27:14,813 --> 01:27:16,030
- A give away program?
- Yeah.

1494
01:27:16,148 --> 01:27:19,027
It's called
the World Wide Wicket Treasure Hunt.

1495
01:27:19,151 --> 01:27:20,152
A treasure hunt.

1496
01:27:20,235 --> 01:27:22,988
We hide a $1,000 savings bond somewhere.

1497
01:27:23,029 --> 01:27:27,205
And each week on television,
we give clues to where it's hidden.

1498
01:27:28,493 --> 01:27:30,888
- Like you say, you don't need an idea.
- No, I really don't need it.

1499
01:27:30,912 --> 01:27:33,916
Let me leave it with you,
and if you get a chance, look it over.

1500
01:27:33,999 --> 01:27:36,377
Because the meeting's
in a few little while.

1501
01:27:36,501 --> 01:27:38,253
I mean, it's soon.

1502
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,844
What did your uncle say
when you told it to him?

1503
01:27:44,926 --> 01:27:47,363
I haven't told it to J.B.
If I brought it to him, he wouldn't listen.

1504
01:27:47,387 --> 01:27:48,489
That's why I brought it to you.

1505
01:27:48,513 --> 01:27:50,658
Wait a minute. You never mentioned
this to your uncle at all?

1506
01:27:50,682 --> 01:27:51,683
No, Ponty.

1507
01:27:51,767 --> 01:27:53,077
But how can I believe that?
An idea like this?

1508
01:27:53,101 --> 01:27:55,163
No, Ponty. Look, if you're not
interested, that's one thing...

1509
01:27:55,187 --> 01:27:56,860
All right, I'll...

1510
01:27:59,566 --> 01:28:03,537
Well, I'll give it
a bit of a think-think, you know.

1511
01:28:04,029 --> 01:28:07,408
- Mull it around a bit.
- Feel free to use it.

1512
01:28:15,248 --> 01:28:16,795
Treasure hunt.

1513
01:28:24,883 --> 01:28:26,476
Are you pregnant or something?

1514
01:28:26,551 --> 01:28:27,862
Hedy, I told you never to come...

1515
01:28:27,886 --> 01:28:30,264
I did not intend to embarrass you,

1516
01:28:30,347 --> 01:28:32,645
I just came for a business purpose.

1517
01:28:32,724 --> 01:28:33,816
Business?

1518
01:28:33,892 --> 01:28:37,317
I wish to tender you with my resignation.

1519
01:28:37,395 --> 01:28:38,988
Your resignation? I can't believe it.

1520
01:28:39,064 --> 01:28:41,584
Why would you do this? Hedy!
You can't do this to me. You can't...

1521
01:28:41,608 --> 01:28:43,781
J.B., J.B., J.B.!

1522
01:28:44,110 --> 01:28:45,870
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- What the hell do you want?

1523
01:28:45,904 --> 01:28:49,408
J.B., do you remember that television idea
I told you about, the treasure hunt?

1524
01:28:49,491 --> 01:28:51,928
I've told you what I thought
of that stupid treasure hunt idea.

1525
01:28:51,952 --> 01:28:53,638
I just wanted to remind you
that you hated it.

1526
01:28:53,662 --> 01:28:54,754
- Out!
- You do hate it.

1527
01:28:54,788 --> 01:28:57,416
- I said out!
- I'm going, I'm going, I'm going.

1528
01:28:59,251 --> 01:29:01,754
Now, what is this resignation nonsense?
Where are you going?

1529
01:29:01,837 --> 01:29:05,683
I don't know.
All I know is, I am clearing out of here!

1530
01:29:05,757 --> 01:29:08,761
I am beginning to rot
in that secretarial pool.

1531
01:29:08,802 --> 01:29:11,772
Not one person will use
me as his secretary.

1532
01:29:11,805 --> 01:29:15,685
They stay away from me
like I had an extremely tropical disease.

1533
01:29:15,767 --> 01:29:18,246
But, darling, just be patient.
I promise we'll find a spot for you.

1534
01:29:18,270 --> 01:29:20,773
Promises, promises, promises,
but no action.

1535
01:29:20,814 --> 01:29:25,115
No, no, no.
I am fed up with that secretarial pool.

1536
01:29:25,193 --> 01:29:29,824
I'll give you 24 hours.
After that, it's goodbye, Wickets,

1537
01:29:29,948 --> 01:29:32,451
hello, somebody who can
do me something for real.

1538
01:29:32,492 --> 01:29:35,120
Hedy, on my word of honour as a gentleman,

1539
01:29:35,161 --> 01:29:38,461
I promise you'll be out of that
secretarial pool by tomorrow!

1540
01:29:38,540 --> 01:29:40,463
You'd better or else!

Yeah, we're all down here.

1543
01:29:52,304 --> 01:29:55,899
The meeting's at 4:30.
Come on down. We'll make plans.

1544
01:29:56,808 --> 01:29:58,151
- Big meeting today, huh?
- Yeah.

1545
01:29:58,226 --> 01:30:00,069
Hear anything about what Finch is planning?

1546
01:30:00,145 --> 01:30:03,149
J.B. set the board meeting,
so he must have come up with something.

1547
01:30:03,231 --> 01:30:06,405
You know, fellas,
I'm getting a little afraid of Finch.

1548
01:30:06,484 --> 01:30:08,045
Me, too. If we don't
stop him, pretty soon...

1549
01:30:08,069 --> 01:30:10,413
He'll probably have us all
working in the mail room.

1550
01:30:10,488 --> 01:30:12,490
- Good luck to us.
- Hi, men!

1551
01:30:12,574 --> 01:30:14,827
- Hello, Bud.
- Hi, Bud. Did you hear anything?

1552
01:30:14,868 --> 01:30:17,212
- Chaps, our worries are over.
- What do you mean?

1553
01:30:17,329 --> 01:30:20,253
Oh, I'm so happy, I could cry!
Finch is going ahead with...

1554
01:30:20,332 --> 01:30:23,506
- What?
- Well, believe me, he's dead, dead, dead.

1555
01:30:23,585 --> 01:30:25,553
- Oh, I'm glad to hear that.
- I don't know.

1556
01:30:25,670 --> 01:30:27,343
Finch has a way of bouncing.

1557
01:30:27,380 --> 01:30:29,758
I wouldn't believe he was dead
even if I read his obituary.

1558
01:30:29,841 --> 01:30:32,344
- Oh, you may be right.
- Ordinarily, I'd agree with you.

1559
01:30:32,427 --> 01:30:34,225
Finch is very smart.

1560
01:30:34,346 --> 01:30:36,940
But let's not forget
that he's now in advertising.

1561
01:30:37,015 --> 01:30:39,188
And that does something to men's brains.
