1
00:01:30,752 --> 00:01:33,015
Good afternoon, sir.
Amalgamated World Metals.
2
00:01:34,753 --> 00:01:36,738
Good afternoon.
Amalgamated World Metals.
3
00:01:37,822 --> 00:01:38,866
Mr Barton's office.
4
00:01:39,792 --> 00:01:40,977
Hello, Mrs Everett.
5
00:01:41,851 --> 00:01:45,281
Can I have Mr Everett call you? He's in
there, but Mr Barton is on the phone.
6
00:01:46,898 --> 00:01:48,371
You only get married once, Joanie.
7
00:01:49,588 --> 00:01:51,737
Well, I hope you only get married once.
8
00:01:52,278 --> 00:01:54,736
"Cliff, how far is this
hydro site from the mine?"
9
00:01:55,024 --> 00:01:57,060
It's 28 miles the way
we take the power line.
10
00:01:57,725 --> 00:02:01,075
You have a map there, Mr Salt. Consider
the copper reserves to the north west.
11
00:02:02,823 --> 00:02:03,495
Cliff?
12
00:02:03,907 --> 00:02:05,208
Yes. I am still here.
13
00:02:05,889 --> 00:02:09,387
Oh, you should see me now.
I am really the most gorgeous armful.
14
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:11,955
Was that uncle George?
15
00:02:12,210 --> 00:02:15,808
Right. That British deal. He's with Guy
Eliot watching some West Africa film.
16
00:02:15,908 --> 00:02:16,793
"Hey, Cliff."
17
00:02:16,893 --> 00:02:19,050
Is this an earth-filled dam or masonry?
18
00:02:19,504 --> 00:02:20,233
"Earth."
19
00:02:21,032 --> 00:02:22,276
Where do we get the earth?
20
00:02:23,122 --> 00:02:25,556
"There must be a hill that doesn't
show right behind the camera."
21
00:02:25,656 --> 00:02:28,016
"It's on the survey map. They
pointed the camera the wrong way."
22
00:02:29,225 --> 00:02:31,163
Eliot, what is it about
the British at Singapore?
23
00:02:31,263 --> 00:02:33,155
They pointed the guns
in the wrong direction.
24
00:02:34,318 --> 00:02:35,892
Cliff, that water is muddy.
25
00:02:36,154 --> 00:02:37,484
Do we have a silting problem?
26
00:02:39,544 --> 00:02:41,449
Mr Salt, will you stop
lousing up my phone call.
27
00:02:41,549 --> 00:02:43,153
I am trying to negotiate a marriage.
28
00:02:44,271 --> 00:02:46,374
"It's your own niece. Do you
want me to lose the deal?"
29
00:02:46,984 --> 00:02:48,681
"No. The silting problem isn't too bad."
30
00:02:48,781 --> 00:02:51,094
"Lester Everett has some notions.
Do you want to talk to him?"
31
00:02:51,194 --> 00:02:53,450
Not if he's thought about it.
Get yourself married.
32
00:02:55,785 --> 00:02:58,022
Your father is expecting you
to pick him up at seven.
33
00:02:58,375 --> 00:03:00,632
Mr Everett's wife needs to reach him.
- I'll tell him.
34
00:03:02,019 --> 00:03:03,360
Joanie, you still there?
35
00:03:04,107 --> 00:03:05,429
You should see me now.
36
00:03:05,663 --> 00:03:07,943
It gets better and better.
How can you wait?
37
00:03:08,940 --> 00:03:09,708
What?
38
00:03:11,492 --> 00:03:12,479
You can say that.
39
00:03:12,721 --> 00:03:16,271
You can't truly be interested in someone
you have known since she was twelve.
40
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:19,848
There's a few things about you Joanie
you didn't have when you were twelve.
41
00:03:20,491 --> 00:03:22,137
How long do you think it will take them?
42
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:23,451
Just a minute.
43
00:03:23,723 --> 00:03:26,562
Maybe I'd better go and hold Chutwell's
hand before he jumps out the window.
44
00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:29,147
Boy, do these English have
some special neuroses.
45
00:03:29,749 --> 00:03:31,407
Your wife has been trying to reach you.
46
00:03:33,855 --> 00:03:35,386
That reminds me. I want some advice.
47
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:38,615
Guy Eliot has offered us that
lodge of his up in Maine.
48
00:03:38,958 --> 00:03:41,649
Cliff, you know that lodge
of his. It is like a ..
49
00:03:42,036 --> 00:03:44,317
Like a branch of the
Founders Trust company.
50
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,449
You know how it is. Guy Eliot is not
only the head of the Founders Trust.
51
00:03:47,549 --> 00:03:49,533
He's the one real power
on our board of directors.
52
00:03:49,633 --> 00:03:52,379
It is why your uncle is clearing this
deal with him, before we get in deeper.
53
00:03:52,637 --> 00:03:54,168
"Can I see you in my office, Cliff?"
54
00:03:54,730 --> 00:03:55,717
Yeah. Right away.
55
00:03:56,046 --> 00:03:56,918
D-Day, honey.
56
00:03:57,041 --> 00:03:59,459
Got to get on to the big deal.
We've held up progress long enough.
57
00:03:59,821 --> 00:04:01,504
I'll talk to you later, huh? Bye-bye.
58
00:04:08,989 --> 00:04:10,072
Hello, Mr Barton.
59
00:04:13,694 --> 00:04:15,337
How did we do?
- Great, great.
60
00:04:16,138 --> 00:04:18,556
I knew everything was going to be
alright before we went in there.
61
00:04:19,694 --> 00:04:21,697
Guy Eliot offers you
and Joanie his lodge.
62
00:04:23,159 --> 00:04:25,937
You are going to use it, aren't you?
- Sure. Joanie is crazy about it.
63
00:04:28,253 --> 00:04:30,213
Well, you will never have
any trouble with Joanie.
64
00:04:30,656 --> 00:04:32,312
There is a girl that knows what's what.
65
00:04:34,829 --> 00:04:35,617
Lester.
66
00:04:40,292 --> 00:04:41,393
Gentlemen, be seated.
67
00:04:46,231 --> 00:04:48,500
With Charlie Frost here,
somebody needs airplane tickets.
68
00:04:49,773 --> 00:04:50,848
Well somebody does.
69
00:04:51,312 --> 00:04:52,213
Malaria pills?
70
00:04:53,371 --> 00:04:54,190
Not yet.
71
00:04:55,343 --> 00:04:58,549
It's time now we all got together
on this West African project.
72
00:04:59,649 --> 00:05:02,526
Some of you are acquainted
with only certain phases of it.
73
00:05:03,841 --> 00:05:07,318
Since it's largely our vice-chairman's
baby I will let Cliff take over.
74
00:05:08,526 --> 00:05:11,260
Briefly, the background is this.
You have all heard of Carew Limited.
75
00:05:11,736 --> 00:05:13,098
An old British metals house.
76
00:05:13,718 --> 00:05:16,914
They've had a large minerals concession
in West Africa for half a century.
77
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,831
Nickel and copper chiefly.
78
00:05:19,602 --> 00:05:21,838
The reserves are proven but
they couldn't exploit them.
79
00:05:21,938 --> 00:05:24,296
Mostly, lack of fuel.
But all that has changed.
80
00:05:24,949 --> 00:05:26,001
Perhaps.
81
00:05:26,576 --> 00:05:29,568
Carew's engineering division under the
direction of a man named Chutwell ..
82
00:05:29,668 --> 00:05:32,734
Has perfected a coal smelting process.
It is revolutionary.
83
00:05:33,376 --> 00:05:35,579
It could change all
smelting processes someday.
84
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,460
And in Lester's opinion
and mine it will work.
85
00:05:39,775 --> 00:05:41,173
Is it the decision we want in?
86
00:05:41,994 --> 00:05:45,027
Well, if the process works as
well at the London pilot plant ..
87
00:05:45,127 --> 00:05:47,097
As it does on paper in
Lester's office, yes.
88
00:05:47,595 --> 00:05:50,520
Cliff, how much do they want?
- Forty million, working capital.
89
00:05:51,027 --> 00:05:53,306
Lester is flying to London
no later than tomorrow.
90
00:05:53,963 --> 00:05:55,817
He will inspect the pilot
plant and operation.
91
00:05:56,609 --> 00:05:59,481
And if it is Lester's opinion that
the process is practical then ..
92
00:06:00,093 --> 00:06:01,397
Your vice chairman.
93
00:06:02,152 --> 00:06:03,517
Will accompany him.
94
00:06:04,375 --> 00:06:06,670
And will go into immediate
negotiations with Carew.
95
00:06:07,718 --> 00:06:10,035
You were right Charlie about
the airline tickets. Get to work.
96
00:06:10,728 --> 00:06:11,952
That's all, boys.
97
00:06:19,564 --> 00:06:22,581
Could I see you in a few minutes?
I have got a personal problem.
98
00:06:22,987 --> 00:06:24,525
You have got a personal problem?
99
00:06:24,891 --> 00:06:26,359
Alright. I will see you.
100
00:06:27,086 --> 00:06:28,359
In case you'd forgotten ..
101
00:06:28,459 --> 00:06:31,902
A lady named Joan Salt, your niece,
expects me to marry her this Saturday.
102
00:06:32,367 --> 00:06:35,279
You're coming to dinner tonight with
your father. You can straighten her out.
103
00:06:35,563 --> 00:06:37,943
You have got a gift that way.
- Well, thank you.
104
00:06:38,651 --> 00:06:41,813
Mr Salt, I don't care if I get married
this Saturday or 3 weeks from Saturday.
105
00:06:42,026 --> 00:06:44,470
But Joanie is young.
- It will be good for her. Relax.
106
00:06:46,420 --> 00:06:47,660
Cliff, you know.
107
00:06:48,269 --> 00:06:49,811
You are my eternal joy.
108
00:06:51,147 --> 00:06:56,426
If I'd a son of my own, by now he would
probably be an irretrievable nincompoop.
109
00:06:57,778 --> 00:07:00,970
Instead, when I want to give her
a 'facts of life' speech, I have you.
110
00:07:02,803 --> 00:07:06,494
You know, a woman that marries a man
like you or me has got a lot to learn.
111
00:07:08,073 --> 00:07:09,583
Mrs Salt learnt a lot.
112
00:07:11,444 --> 00:07:15,406
Why do you think companies make a fuss
about the women their executives marry?
113
00:07:16,824 --> 00:07:18,666
Why do you think
World Motors for instance ..
114
00:07:18,766 --> 00:07:21,633
Employs a detective agency
for the exclusive purpose ..
115
00:07:22,474 --> 00:07:26,002
Of investigating the prospective wives
of even their junior executives?
116
00:07:27,919 --> 00:07:30,234
You are public property
when you get up there, Cliff.
117
00:07:31,143 --> 00:07:33,368
Your wife, in a way,
is public property too.
118
00:07:34,475 --> 00:07:37,466
You have no private life
and no private rights.
119
00:07:39,204 --> 00:07:41,738
It takes a rare kind of
woman to fill that bill.
120
00:07:42,682 --> 00:07:43,744
Mrs Salt filled it.
121
00:07:45,272 --> 00:07:48,065
Joanie is the right kind. She'll come
along fine. But let me say something.
122
00:07:49,957 --> 00:07:52,921
You will save yourself a lot of
grief later ion if she finds out now.
123
00:07:53,769 --> 00:07:56,481
Finding out that what is
necessary for Amalgamated ..
124
00:07:57,478 --> 00:07:58,836
Is necessary for her.
125
00:08:00,069 --> 00:08:00,727
Yeah?
126
00:08:00,922 --> 00:08:02,877
"Mr Everett and Mr Chutwell."
- Just a minute.
127
00:08:03,445 --> 00:08:04,518
But is it necessary?
128
00:08:05,415 --> 00:08:06,316
I think it is.
129
00:08:06,467 --> 00:08:09,316
We've got the inside track on this deal.
Do we have to move this fast?
130
00:08:10,087 --> 00:08:10,812
Cliff.
131
00:08:11,443 --> 00:08:14,390
You know and everyone around us
knows that I am getting along and ..
132
00:08:15,506 --> 00:08:17,695
You will be taking over
this chair before long.
133
00:08:19,468 --> 00:08:22,416
I have absolute confidence that
you will do the job that I have done.
134
00:08:23,608 --> 00:08:24,432
Maybe more.
135
00:08:25,258 --> 00:08:26,302
Thank you, Mr Salt.
136
00:08:26,686 --> 00:08:28,590
Or are you going to say 'but' something?
137
00:08:29,047 --> 00:08:29,662
But.
138
00:08:30,531 --> 00:08:31,895
This has been a one-man shop.
139
00:08:33,155 --> 00:08:37,613
I built Amalgamated up from a collection
of closed mines and bankrupt mills.
140
00:08:39,294 --> 00:08:41,810
So, when people think of
Amalgamated they think of me.
141
00:08:43,130 --> 00:08:45,709
You have got to start thinking
of you Cliff before you step up.
142
00:08:45,809 --> 00:08:47,511
Or you are going to
be at a disadvantage.
143
00:08:48,311 --> 00:08:50,070
You see, they have
got to be afraid of you.
144
00:08:51,909 --> 00:08:55,098
There is a bigger prize in this
British deal than meets the eye.
145
00:08:56,924 --> 00:08:59,911
If you can pull off what I think you
can pull off they will be convinced.
146
00:09:00,442 --> 00:09:02,557
The banks. Washington.
The stock holders. Everybody.
147
00:09:04,050 --> 00:09:05,937
You will have what you need.
You will be ready.
148
00:09:06,169 --> 00:09:08,501
There are times Mr Salt when
you scare the daylights out of me.
149
00:09:09,485 --> 00:09:13,176
Well, try to imagine how scared
I'd be at my age if I didn't have you.
150
00:09:14,362 --> 00:09:15,795
But I will talk to you tonight.
151
00:09:16,994 --> 00:09:20,147
And be glad that you are marrying the
right kind of woman at a time like this.
152
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,151
Send Sedwill in will you.
153
00:09:23,994 --> 00:09:27,161
The way the English offer you cigarettes
out of silver cigarette cases.
154
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:30,298
If they knew how to package
cigarettes properly ..
155
00:09:30,398 --> 00:09:32,601
They wouldn't have to carry
silver cigarette cases.
156
00:09:35,909 --> 00:09:38,223
Mr Barton, sir. I've just heard
the momentous decision.
157
00:09:38,442 --> 00:09:39,555
A great day, sir.
158
00:09:39,971 --> 00:09:40,815
A cigarette?
159
00:09:41,433 --> 00:09:43,271
No thank you, He is waiting for you.
160
00:09:43,868 --> 00:09:46,088
That is a great man in
there, sir. A great man.
161
00:09:46,398 --> 00:09:47,986
A great country you have got here too.
162
00:09:48,086 --> 00:09:50,548
It leaves a chap sort-of awestruck sir.
163
00:09:55,259 --> 00:09:56,803
Ah. Mr Salt, sir.
164
00:10:03,719 --> 00:10:05,668
Don't tell me what you
want to go to London for.
165
00:10:05,977 --> 00:10:08,103
I know what you want
to go to London for.
166
00:10:08,501 --> 00:10:11,346
You want to go to London like
fellows want to go to conventions.
167
00:10:11,911 --> 00:10:13,739
What do you think I was, born yesterday?
168
00:10:14,124 --> 00:10:16,631
Giving me all this
hanky-panky deals business.
169
00:10:16,917 --> 00:10:17,609
Ella.
170
00:10:17,709 --> 00:10:20,242
Do you think I don't know what
you fellows are looking for?
171
00:10:20,563 --> 00:10:21,910
Deals? Ha-ah.
172
00:10:22,589 --> 00:10:24,051
Deals, spiels.
173
00:10:24,615 --> 00:10:26,633
You dimwit. The doorbell is ringing.
174
00:10:27,945 --> 00:10:29,772
The doorbell is ringing.
175
00:10:30,779 --> 00:10:31,481
What?
176
00:10:32,659 --> 00:10:34,683
You have turned off your
hearing-aid on me?
177
00:10:35,081 --> 00:10:36,068
You did it again.
178
00:10:36,366 --> 00:10:38,661
Don't you dare tear your
hearing-aid off on me.
179
00:10:39,027 --> 00:10:41,949
What kind of guy turns off his
hearing-aid on his own wife?
180
00:10:42,468 --> 00:10:43,169
Stupid.
181
00:10:43,731 --> 00:10:45,359
Mr Barton.
- Hello, Mrs Everett.
182
00:10:45,813 --> 00:10:47,591
You didn't tell me that he was coming.
183
00:10:47,912 --> 00:10:49,582
Mr Barton, I look such a mess.
184
00:10:49,871 --> 00:10:51,901
I have never seen you
more handsome or vital.
185
00:10:52,395 --> 00:10:54,442
I was on my way down
to Mr Salt's for dinner ..
186
00:10:54,542 --> 00:10:56,902
And I just had to stop by for one
of your famous old-fashioneds.
187
00:10:57,242 --> 00:10:59,594
You know, to celebrate Lester's coup.
- Lester's what?
188
00:11:00,189 --> 00:11:02,664
The greatest engineering mind in
America, Mrs Everett. The greatest.
189
00:11:02,872 --> 00:11:04,763
Now he's proved it again
with this London deal.
190
00:11:04,863 --> 00:11:07,497
How proud you must be of him.
- Me? Oh yes.
191
00:11:08,028 --> 00:11:10,417
My, but you are looking like a
million dollars. How do you do it?
192
00:11:10,718 --> 00:11:12,048
How about that old-fashioned?
193
00:11:12,309 --> 00:11:15,291
Gee, Mr Barton. You always
know the right things to say to me.
194
00:11:15,672 --> 00:11:17,640
That old Lester.
He knows the funniest things.
195
00:11:19,626 --> 00:11:21,529
You were up at Lester's
longer that you thought.
196
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:23,622
Sorry, dad. Now we can
get on down to Salt's.
197
00:11:24,557 --> 00:11:26,886
Was Mrs Everett that difficult?
- No, no.
198
00:11:27,218 --> 00:11:29,667
I just don't understand a man
who can't handle his own wife.
199
00:11:30,426 --> 00:11:32,023
That's because you are not married.
200
00:11:33,322 --> 00:11:35,993
This is certainly your evening
for straightening out wives.
201
00:11:36,419 --> 00:11:38,591
Present and future.
- Yeah, it's a nuisance.
202
00:11:39,097 --> 00:11:41,365
Right when I am on the
verge of something so big.
203
00:11:42,338 --> 00:11:44,155
When you were that high
I thought I knew you.
204
00:11:44,570 --> 00:11:46,689
Now you are that high
I have lost all track.
205
00:11:46,977 --> 00:11:48,072
Why do you say that?
206
00:11:48,172 --> 00:11:50,479
I'm not criticising. I was the
one who missed the boat.
207
00:11:51,871 --> 00:11:53,659
Cliff, are you sure you
want to get married?
208
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:57,047
Well son, I only asked.
- What a question.
209
00:11:57,584 --> 00:11:59,140
There is nothing wrong about Joanie.
210
00:11:59,367 --> 00:12:00,795
Of course not. I adore her.
211
00:12:01,222 --> 00:12:02,677
She is far too young for you.
212
00:12:02,944 --> 00:12:04,532
She hasn't much to bring you, but ..
213
00:12:04,759 --> 00:12:06,671
A fine time to start taking attitudes.
214
00:12:07,313 --> 00:12:10,315
You are quite right. I am the
preacher who doesn't preach.
215
00:12:10,834 --> 00:12:14,572
That's why I have such a large, rich,
smug, fashionable congregation.
216
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,163
I apologise.
217
00:12:16,285 --> 00:12:18,731
You'd never find a better example
of why Joanie is right for me ..
218
00:12:18,831 --> 00:12:21,745
Than the woman I've just seen. Look
what she is doing to Lester's career.
219
00:12:23,741 --> 00:12:25,543
Alright. You don't approve of my values.
220
00:12:26,502 --> 00:12:29,595
Look Dad, there is a vast gap
between us which is hard to cross.
221
00:12:29,695 --> 00:12:32,418
Because you are a most ideal
human being and I am not.
222
00:12:32,909 --> 00:12:34,410
Well, there is room for all sorts.
223
00:12:35,944 --> 00:12:37,453
No. I am not going to preach.
224
00:12:38,207 --> 00:12:40,625
But if there's some woman in
this world beside Joanie ..
225
00:12:40,725 --> 00:12:42,474
Whom you really want to marry ..
226
00:12:43,614 --> 00:12:45,665
Then I am going to pray
that you never meet her.
227
00:12:50,438 --> 00:12:52,074
When you get to London.
228
00:12:52,708 --> 00:12:55,717
Eventually. I wonder if you would
mind running a few errands for me.
229
00:12:56,002 --> 00:12:57,332
I would be glad to, Mrs Salt.
230
00:12:57,562 --> 00:12:59,961
I have several charities I
would like you to look into.
231
00:13:00,439 --> 00:13:03,645
One in particular for which
I am the American chairman.
232
00:13:04,189 --> 00:13:07,008
It's an organization for refugees
coming out of central Europe.
233
00:13:07,477 --> 00:13:08,134
Yeah.
234
00:13:09,083 --> 00:13:11,358
I would like to you to look
into where the money goes.
235
00:13:11,709 --> 00:13:14,031
Their general efficiency,
what they spend on overheads.
236
00:13:14,429 --> 00:13:15,787
Any subversive infiltration.
237
00:13:16,496 --> 00:13:18,055
Give me a list. I would be delighted.
238
00:13:18,296 --> 00:13:19,111
I didn't ..
239
00:13:19,488 --> 00:13:21,104
I didn't know you were going to London.
240
00:13:21,878 --> 00:13:22,522
When?
241
00:13:22,756 --> 00:13:23,553
Tomorrow.
242
00:13:26,165 --> 00:13:28,658
Well, you might at least
have let Cliff tell her that.
243
00:13:29,051 --> 00:13:29,666
Why?
244
00:13:31,349 --> 00:13:32,127
Well.
245
00:13:32,457 --> 00:13:34,227
I don't see anything so important.
246
00:13:34,815 --> 00:13:36,913
Now I can go out to North
Hampton for the weekend.
247
00:13:44,112 --> 00:13:47,394
I want the title to the West African
concession vested in Amalgamated.
248
00:13:48,205 --> 00:13:51,864
I want a joint corporation with 52% of
of the stock in Amalgamated treasury ..
249
00:13:52,152 --> 00:13:53,344
And you as chairman.
250
00:13:53,667 --> 00:13:55,446
I'm overwhelmed, but that is impossible.
251
00:13:55,841 --> 00:13:57,914
If things are impossible then
you've got to move fast.
252
00:13:58,014 --> 00:13:59,439
That isn't Carew's proposition.
253
00:13:59,539 --> 00:14:02,314
It is their concession, their process,
our money and their show.
254
00:14:02,665 --> 00:14:03,423
Our show.
255
00:14:03,738 --> 00:14:05,810
They will turn to a competitor.
- I don't think so.
256
00:14:06,381 --> 00:14:08,429
With these terms they won't
even go into negotiation.
257
00:14:08,529 --> 00:14:10,390
They will if you don't
tell them the terms.
258
00:14:12,016 --> 00:14:13,919
You can pull this off, Cliff.
You have the gift.
259
00:14:14,979 --> 00:14:17,428
Now, go into negotiation with
them and make them like it.
260
00:14:18,697 --> 00:14:21,924
Confine your discussion to costs.
Tell them forty million is outrageous.
261
00:14:22,811 --> 00:14:25,840
And prove they don't need it. We'll feed
you the figures every day by cable.
262
00:14:26,954 --> 00:14:29,075
This is the kind of a job
that we know how to do.
263
00:14:29,175 --> 00:14:30,969
And they know we know how to do it.
264
00:14:31,617 --> 00:14:33,319
When you've reached
a rock-bottom figure.
265
00:14:33,999 --> 00:14:37,468
They will see costs down, profits rising
and they'll wish we were doing the job.
266
00:14:37,683 --> 00:14:38,441
And then.
267
00:14:39,664 --> 00:14:40,908
Then a call from New York.
268
00:14:41,319 --> 00:14:44,697
We are sorry, the investment is still
too big. We'll have to run the show.
269
00:14:46,263 --> 00:14:48,387
They will come along and
believe me it is human nature.
270
00:14:48,676 --> 00:14:51,094
We can make more money for them
than they can make for themselves.
271
00:14:51,286 --> 00:14:54,098
Yeah, I can do it.
- You're blessed right you can do it.
272
00:14:55,136 --> 00:14:57,305
When you get West Africa
safe in the New York bag ..
273
00:14:57,530 --> 00:15:01,164
There won't be a competitor, banker,
stockholder or secretary of state ..
274
00:15:01,464 --> 00:15:04,666
That doesn't say 'Cliff Barton' the way
they have always said 'George Salt'.
275
00:15:05,547 --> 00:15:06,910
With respect and admiration.
276
00:15:07,856 --> 00:15:09,046
And with fear.
277
00:15:09,781 --> 00:15:11,412
Do you see what I mean by the prize?
278
00:15:12,435 --> 00:15:14,789
I am wondering what my father
would say to a deal like this.
279
00:15:16,161 --> 00:15:17,634
Let me tell you about your father.
280
00:15:17,911 --> 00:15:20,305
He's as fine a man as I have
ever met, god bless him.
281
00:15:20,751 --> 00:15:22,282
He believes in live and let live ..
282
00:15:22,382 --> 00:15:24,456
And what would the world be
like without men like him.
283
00:15:25,146 --> 00:15:27,463
But what would the world be
like without men like us?
284
00:15:28,176 --> 00:15:29,439
Still rolling in ox-carts?
285
00:15:30,130 --> 00:15:32,193
Still grappling with famine and disease.
286
00:15:33,423 --> 00:15:34,447
Believe me, Cliff.
287
00:15:34,547 --> 00:15:37,893
Men who, in truth, saved the world were
never stopped by the ten commandments.
288
00:15:39,170 --> 00:15:41,978
I hope the day will come Mr Salt
when I can be as truthful as that.
289
00:15:42,816 --> 00:15:43,746
It will, Cliff.
290
00:16:04,968 --> 00:16:06,479
Mr Carew.
- Mr Barton.
291
00:16:07,227 --> 00:16:09,164
You haven't met my
associate, Mr Pitt-Semphill.
292
00:16:09,264 --> 00:16:09,965
Hello.
293
00:16:10,065 --> 00:16:11,929
How do you do. I hope
you're enjoying London.
294
00:16:12,029 --> 00:16:13,599
Bowled over. I am always bowled over.
295
00:16:13,699 --> 00:16:15,733
What I never understand
is, I wear the right hats.
296
00:16:15,833 --> 00:16:17,384
How do people know I'm an American?
297
00:16:17,603 --> 00:16:19,076
Perhaps your vitamins are showing.
298
00:16:19,864 --> 00:16:21,224
Let's go upstairs, shall we.
299
00:16:24,060 --> 00:16:27,988
What I can't understand how you people
Mr Barton, so aware of the future ..
300
00:16:28,749 --> 00:16:30,682
Can come over here and
tolerate for a moment ..
301
00:16:30,782 --> 00:16:32,917
Our smoky monuments, our chauvinism.
302
00:16:33,339 --> 00:16:36,073
Our embalmed heroes,
each with his own statue.
303
00:16:36,535 --> 00:16:38,151
As a rule, in the worst possible taste.
304
00:16:38,901 --> 00:16:40,751
If I were you I'd paint
moustaches on them.
305
00:16:41,127 --> 00:16:43,785
Well, in a curious way Mr Carew
they are our heroes too.
306
00:16:52,675 --> 00:16:55,327
I handed over that list of
Mrs Salt's organisations ..
307
00:16:55,580 --> 00:16:57,505
To some of the people
in our office, Mr Barton.
308
00:16:57,825 --> 00:17:00,292
I apologise for creating a
nuisance, Mr Pitt-Semphill ..
309
00:17:00,392 --> 00:17:02,063
But you know how it is. The boss's wife.
310
00:17:02,368 --> 00:17:03,594
No nuisance at all.
311
00:17:03,946 --> 00:17:07,175
I am not one of those who resent
Americans every time they're generous.
312
00:17:07,708 --> 00:17:10,619
What Pitt-Semphill is dying to
ask you with baited breath ..
313
00:17:11,203 --> 00:17:13,391
Is how did you survive our Mr Chutwell?
314
00:17:16,077 --> 00:17:17,621
Yes, I know. I know.
315
00:17:18,185 --> 00:17:20,917
Our Mr Chutwell I feel is
something of a thruster.
316
00:17:21,612 --> 00:17:24,141
Then you see, he is also
something of a genius.
317
00:17:24,449 --> 00:17:27,007
Our new process is,
in a very large part his.
318
00:17:28,515 --> 00:17:32,395
The older I grow Mr Barton the more
impressed I am with what men are.
319
00:17:33,250 --> 00:17:34,565
And not what they seem.
320
00:17:35,983 --> 00:17:38,813
Forgive me. If I am going to say
something to which you won't approve.
321
00:17:40,067 --> 00:17:41,746
At this stage it is bad business.
322
00:17:42,615 --> 00:17:45,507
I am praying that your Mr Everett
will approve of our process ..
323
00:17:45,607 --> 00:17:47,507
And that we may enter the negotiations.
324
00:17:48,173 --> 00:17:49,258
Because I like you.
325
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:51,635
That's very good of you.
326
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,341
You know, we are all so
aware of America these days.
327
00:17:56,224 --> 00:17:58,290
We are jealous. We are suspicious.
328
00:17:59,665 --> 00:18:01,485
Well, it is natural I suppose.
329
00:18:01,917 --> 00:18:02,856
Our pride.
330
00:18:03,729 --> 00:18:05,345
We are not accustomed to being paupers.
331
00:18:06,617 --> 00:18:08,661
Well, we shall never be beggars.
Not on this island.
332
00:18:10,526 --> 00:18:15,303
You know, I'd be so happy to work with
you on the West Africa plan, Mr Barton.
333
00:18:16,215 --> 00:18:18,757
Well, let's face it. Pride. First pride.
334
00:18:19,255 --> 00:18:20,696
Is a factor.
335
00:18:23,208 --> 00:18:24,638
I know West Africa.
336
00:18:25,530 --> 00:18:29,523
And in the opinion of many of us in many
parts of the world we have London.
337
00:18:29,861 --> 00:18:31,921
London. London, half an empire away.
338
00:18:33,870 --> 00:18:37,241
Now, our new process gives us me an
opportunity of going into West Africa.
339
00:18:37,804 --> 00:18:41,014
And proving to a somewhat
sceptical world ..
340
00:18:41,850 --> 00:18:43,287
That if Britain has erred.
341
00:18:44,075 --> 00:18:45,545
She has likewise learnt.
342
00:18:47,136 --> 00:18:49,710
I apologise for my
deplorable chauvinism.
343
00:18:51,474 --> 00:18:52,175
Cheers.
344
00:18:58,327 --> 00:19:01,089
The thing that is starting to
trouble me Mr Salt is this strategy.
345
00:19:01,754 --> 00:19:03,710
Now look, Cliff. Don't go soft.
346
00:19:04,627 --> 00:19:06,587
These people are a nation of swindlers.
347
00:19:07,124 --> 00:19:09,240
They invented swindling.
They perfected swindling.
348
00:19:10,287 --> 00:19:11,932
They made swindling socially acceptable.
349
00:19:14,617 --> 00:19:17,106
Mr Salt. Did I tell you
he sends his blessings?
350
00:19:17,742 --> 00:19:18,958
That makes me very happy.
351
00:19:19,495 --> 00:19:22,671
Now let me be clear. We will
begin negotiations on Monday.
352
00:19:23,503 --> 00:19:26,358
And do I understand that
Amalgamated has no reservations ..
353
00:19:26,458 --> 00:19:28,827
Other than costs and the
size of the financing?
354
00:19:29,343 --> 00:19:31,560
We have strong reservations
concerning your cost estimates.
355
00:19:31,784 --> 00:19:34,259
Yes, of course. I understand that
and you are probably right, but ..
356
00:19:34,730 --> 00:19:35,879
No other reservations?
357
00:19:35,979 --> 00:19:37,997
Generally, no. But this
is a tentative statement.
358
00:19:38,242 --> 00:19:40,626
I don't like to enter negotiations
with my hands tied.
359
00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:43,917
I hope you think again about coming
to the country for the weekend.
360
00:19:44,128 --> 00:19:45,622
My wife will be so disappointed.
361
00:19:45,722 --> 00:19:48,034
I am so sorry but I do have
plans for the weekend.
362
00:19:48,591 --> 00:19:50,286
I must be running. Until Monday then.
363
00:19:55,129 --> 00:19:55,744
Ah.
364
00:19:57,536 --> 00:20:01,067
He is holding something back otherwise
he would have accepted your invitation.
365
00:20:01,407 --> 00:20:03,126
You have an obsession, Pitt.
366
00:20:03,614 --> 00:20:06,417
All Americans are not unscrupulousness
like Dan Slocum.
367
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,355
Well.
368
00:20:09,474 --> 00:20:10,944
I shall go down to the country.
369
00:20:11,748 --> 00:20:13,744
With my wife. Get mildly ..
370
00:20:14,454 --> 00:20:16,927
Pleasantly, and entrancingly pickled.
371
00:20:23,170 --> 00:20:23,959
Cliff.
372
00:20:24,193 --> 00:20:26,665
Come in to Chutwell office.
- Chutwell is your problem. Not mine.
373
00:20:26,765 --> 00:20:28,578
But you don't know what
Chut's come up with.
374
00:20:28,678 --> 00:20:30,619
You know that refugee
organisation of Mrs Salt's?
375
00:20:30,961 --> 00:20:32,778
The one for refugee artists?
- What about it?
376
00:20:33,122 --> 00:20:35,384
Boy, what a dilly. Come on.
Chut will tell you about it.
377
00:20:37,835 --> 00:20:39,889
I see. Thank you very much indeed.
378
00:20:40,831 --> 00:20:42,175
Oh, I say. Mr Barton.
379
00:20:42,872 --> 00:20:46,453
This Artists Refugee Organisation,
221 Rockwell place.
380
00:20:46,664 --> 00:20:49,266
Mrs Miriam Linka, executive secretary.
381
00:20:49,636 --> 00:20:52,590
Yeah. What is wrong with it?
- Wrong with it? Nothing.
382
00:20:52,929 --> 00:20:55,515
Emphatically so. No.
A most high-minded organisation.
383
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,666
It finds jobs for these
talented refugees.
384
00:20:58,025 --> 00:20:59,914
Painting, singing, dancing.
385
00:21:00,387 --> 00:21:02,916
Of course. Human nature.
It is difficult to control.
386
00:21:03,170 --> 00:21:05,676
And some of these young
lady refugees have talents ..
387
00:21:05,909 --> 00:21:08,127
That go, let's say, beyond
playing the piano.
388
00:21:08,668 --> 00:21:09,254
Or.
389
00:21:09,732 --> 00:21:14,495
Or if the employer, to say myself, has a
broad view of the term 'entertainment'.
390
00:21:14,848 --> 00:21:16,007
I'll find out about it.
391
00:21:16,831 --> 00:21:18,992
I am sure you will do all the better.
392
00:21:19,248 --> 00:21:20,874
Does Mrs Linka know what is going on?
393
00:21:21,724 --> 00:21:24,113
Don't go to Mrs Linka. No.
She's a blooming commie or something.
394
00:21:24,340 --> 00:21:25,882
She will tear you to pieces.
395
00:21:26,114 --> 00:21:28,525
There is some that ask questions
and some that don't. Now.
396
00:21:28,771 --> 00:21:30,379
Mr Retchnikov. He is the chap.
397
00:21:30,656 --> 00:21:33,240
He never asked for one
moment what kind of a piano.
398
00:21:33,340 --> 00:21:34,126
Thank you.
399
00:21:34,353 --> 00:21:38,096
But you won't have to lift a finger.
Don't say no. It has all been arranged.
400
00:21:38,397 --> 00:21:40,678
I've spoken to Mr Retchnikov myself.
401
00:21:40,977 --> 00:21:43,839
A little entertainment.
Saturday night. The three of us.
402
00:21:44,504 --> 00:21:46,335
No, this is my party. I insist.
403
00:21:46,644 --> 00:21:47,896
Supper and champagne.
404
00:21:48,274 --> 00:21:50,154
And three gay companions.
405
00:21:50,402 --> 00:21:52,821
With a touch of, shall we say,
the continental manner.
406
00:21:52,921 --> 00:21:54,538
Sorry. I have other plans.
- Come on.
407
00:21:54,638 --> 00:21:56,464
You can afford to waive
ranks for an evening.
408
00:21:56,664 --> 00:21:58,251
It's nothing to do with waiving rank.
409
00:21:58,828 --> 00:22:01,423
Well I shall take this
as a personal affront.
410
00:22:02,105 --> 00:22:03,396
Take it any way you please.
411
00:22:04,368 --> 00:22:05,860
Well I am accustomed to snubs.
412
00:22:06,485 --> 00:22:07,644
I understand perfectly.
413
00:22:08,543 --> 00:22:11,777
But I must say it all seems a bit
pretentious coming from an American.
414
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:13,170
Cliff.
415
00:23:26,627 --> 00:23:28,097
Are you Mrs Linka?
- Yes.
416
00:23:41,985 --> 00:23:43,001
You are Mr Barton?
417
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:44,834
Yes.
418
00:23:52,829 --> 00:23:53,745
You are ..
419
00:23:54,854 --> 00:23:56,525
You are an American millionaire?.
420
00:23:57,089 --> 00:23:57,941
I suppose.
421
00:23:58,309 --> 00:23:59,327
Of course.
422
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:00,790
Well.
423
00:24:01,647 --> 00:24:03,638
In that case I must offer you some tea.
424
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:08,278
You may offer me an
expensive American cigarette.
425
00:24:10,525 --> 00:24:11,712
I'll offer you the pack.
426
00:24:12,288 --> 00:24:15,157
I am quite ruthless about such things.
I will take them.
427
00:24:16,177 --> 00:24:17,183
You may have one.
428
00:24:18,808 --> 00:24:19,595
Please do.
429
00:24:23,456 --> 00:24:26,537
Are you interested yourself in the
work of the organisation or ..
430
00:24:27,158 --> 00:24:29,472
Are you just an errand boy for Mrs Salt?
431
00:24:30,108 --> 00:24:31,749
I am interested in it myself very much.
432
00:24:33,723 --> 00:24:34,770
I doubt that.
433
00:24:37,110 --> 00:24:37,949
Well.
434
00:24:38,598 --> 00:24:42,524
It is our purpose to find work for
talented refugees from central Europe.
435
00:24:43,511 --> 00:24:45,310
We have lived most of us ..
436
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,049
In a world of Mozart, Schumann, Chopin.
437
00:24:49,036 --> 00:24:52,057
For most of us, music
was a reason for life.
438
00:24:54,130 --> 00:24:57,902
You may report to Mrs Salt that the
work of the organisation goes well.
439
00:24:59,933 --> 00:25:03,830
If by going well one means the
placing of a concert pianist ..
440
00:25:04,378 --> 00:25:06,601
In a job as a dishwasher at The Ritz.
441
00:25:07,999 --> 00:25:11,600
If I report to Mrs Salt on how her money
is used what do I say of certain rumors?
442
00:25:12,667 --> 00:25:13,731
Certain rumors?
443
00:25:17,269 --> 00:25:18,782
Please. Will you be more precise.
444
00:25:20,249 --> 00:25:22,901
An interesting racket, Mrs Linka.
I have no objections at all.
445
00:25:23,001 --> 00:25:27,060
If you weren't masquerading as a charity
and shaking down patrons like Mrs Salt.
446
00:25:27,969 --> 00:25:30,062
I would ask you to leave this office.
447
00:25:32,059 --> 00:25:35,114
Since you represent Mrs Salt
I cannot afford to.
448
00:25:37,953 --> 00:25:38,735
Berta.
449
00:25:40,007 --> 00:25:41,244
Did Retchnikov call you?
450
00:25:41,587 --> 00:25:42,617
Yes. He called me.
451
00:25:43,295 --> 00:25:45,675
Tear his eyes out. You are not going.
452
00:25:46,291 --> 00:25:47,876
[ German language ]
453
00:26:09,576 --> 00:26:11,075
Yes. The rumours are true.
454
00:26:11,952 --> 00:26:14,906
There are those who take
advantage of the situation.
455
00:26:15,350 --> 00:26:17,579
And there are girls like
her who have no choice.
456
00:26:18,144 --> 00:26:20,941
And if you would know
that much. That very much.
457
00:26:21,196 --> 00:26:23,215
Dear Mr American, about despair.
458
00:26:26,376 --> 00:26:28,526
Then you would not ask
such silly questions.
459
00:26:29,068 --> 00:26:31,770
Or perhaps Mr Barton,
you are here yourself to ..
460
00:26:32,153 --> 00:26:33,838
Take advantage of the situation?
461
00:26:34,538 --> 00:26:35,124
No.
462
00:26:36,179 --> 00:26:39,450
No. I'd rather make a contribution to
the legitimate work of the organisation.
463
00:26:40,948 --> 00:26:41,706
How much?
464
00:26:42,245 --> 00:26:43,345
A thousand dollars?
465
00:26:49,164 --> 00:26:51,415
How very nice it must be to ..
466
00:26:51,937 --> 00:26:55,154
To just suddenly give
away a thousand dollars.
467
00:26:56,895 --> 00:26:57,617
No.
468
00:26:58,485 --> 00:26:59,410
No. I ..
469
00:27:00,195 --> 00:27:01,973
I want you to deposit the cheque ..
470
00:27:02,073 --> 00:27:04,788
To our account at the Westminster
Bank next week perhaps.
471
00:27:05,741 --> 00:27:08,997
Then you will not be giving so
much money in embarrassment.
472
00:27:09,478 --> 00:27:10,819
To make you feel better.
473
00:27:11,396 --> 00:27:15,072
Because on a dismal afternoon you
found me in this wretched place ..
474
00:27:15,272 --> 00:27:18,164
Having my poor cup of tea and
you felt in yourself such ..
475
00:27:18,652 --> 00:27:20,072
Such beautiful pity.
476
00:27:21,103 --> 00:27:23,385
Do you question the motives
to every contribution?
477
00:27:25,037 --> 00:27:26,746
In many ways, Mr Barton.
478
00:27:27,511 --> 00:27:29,139
I am a very nasty person.
479
00:27:32,568 --> 00:27:35,452
I will be at the address I have noted
on the cheque during the daytime.
480
00:27:36,327 --> 00:27:38,958
And Mrs Salt will want a written report.
Could I have it tomorrow?
481
00:27:39,956 --> 00:27:40,949
It is Saturday.
482
00:27:41,653 --> 00:27:43,921
We close at four.
I may have it. I may not.
483
00:27:45,834 --> 00:27:48,915
There are people coming.
I have very much to do.
484
00:27:49,913 --> 00:27:51,210
Thank you for the cheque.
485
00:27:55,129 --> 00:27:56,759
[ German language ]
486
00:28:03,105 --> 00:28:05,024
Just a minute. Just a minute.
487
00:28:15,175 --> 00:28:15,819
Well?
488
00:28:18,463 --> 00:28:21,223
What's that? That colonial development
report they were talking about?
489
00:28:23,032 --> 00:28:23,704
Cliff.
490
00:28:24,715 --> 00:28:26,750
About that Chutwell thing yesterday.
491
00:28:27,854 --> 00:28:29,906
You know, he is not
really too bad a fellow.
492
00:28:30,405 --> 00:28:34,097
He worked his way up from the bottom.
That doesn't happen very often here.
493
00:28:34,618 --> 00:28:35,794
Not like in the U.S.
494
00:28:36,603 --> 00:28:40,112
He feels insecure.
He gets nervous around people like you.
495
00:28:42,670 --> 00:28:43,446
Cliff.
496
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,540
I don't know how to say this.
497
00:28:45,937 --> 00:28:48,077
You know how things
are with me back home.
498
00:28:48,964 --> 00:28:49,863
With Ella.
499
00:28:51,116 --> 00:28:53,518
Would you mind too much
if I went out him tonight?
500
00:28:53,923 --> 00:28:54,721
Huh?
501
00:28:55,731 --> 00:28:56,317
Oh.
502
00:28:56,673 --> 00:28:58,826
No. Go ahead and enjoy yourself.
503
00:29:04,946 --> 00:29:05,632
Oh.
504
00:29:23,233 --> 00:29:24,700
Hiya, Mr Retchnikov.
505
00:29:24,995 --> 00:29:25,768
Yes.
506
00:29:35,575 --> 00:29:37,073
Good afternoon, Mrs Linka.
507
00:29:38,248 --> 00:29:39,349
And what do you want?
508
00:29:40,095 --> 00:29:41,352
The report isn't ready.
509
00:29:42,058 --> 00:29:43,028
What is it?
510
00:29:43,635 --> 00:29:46,774
Do you want your cheque back?
- No. I'm only here to make you laugh.
511
00:29:47,506 --> 00:29:48,326
Jokes.
512
00:29:48,738 --> 00:29:50,514
Perhaps some song and dance?
513
00:29:50,940 --> 00:29:52,380
No, no. Just jokes.
514
00:29:53,001 --> 00:29:55,364
You don't need to bother
undressing your coat.
515
00:29:57,371 --> 00:29:58,329
I am locking up.
516
00:29:58,570 --> 00:30:00,496
Well, I hope you are having
dinner with me too.
517
00:30:01,242 --> 00:30:02,744
I hope you are not hoping too much.
518
00:30:03,446 --> 00:30:04,433
Because I am not.
519
00:30:04,885 --> 00:30:08,217
I guess you have another engagement, or
are you having dinner with Mister Linka?
520
00:30:08,639 --> 00:30:09,918
There is no Mister Linka.
521
00:30:10,671 --> 00:30:12,477
There is not another engagement.
522
00:30:13,178 --> 00:30:15,371
I don't see how you can't like me.
You don't even know me.
523
00:30:16,402 --> 00:30:17,888
I don't like Americans.
524
00:30:18,315 --> 00:30:20,024
I don't like Lords of the world.
525
00:30:20,403 --> 00:30:21,763
Not of any nation.
526
00:30:22,111 --> 00:30:26,085
I don't like people who do things just
like that and write cheques for $1,000.
527
00:30:26,915 --> 00:30:28,525
I don't like businessmen.
528
00:30:28,991 --> 00:30:30,278
I don't know you.
529
00:30:30,871 --> 00:30:32,058
That's right. You don't.
530
00:30:32,672 --> 00:30:35,515
You haven't given me a chance to tell
you when I left your office yesterday ..
531
00:30:35,615 --> 00:30:38,261
I went out and bought the lives
of Schumann and Mozart.
532
00:30:39,381 --> 00:30:40,357
Oh no.
533
00:30:42,098 --> 00:30:43,795
See. I told you I could make you laugh.
534
00:30:44,395 --> 00:30:47,456
You only make me laugh
because you are so pathetic.
535
00:30:47,822 --> 00:30:49,770
You haven't got the least
idea of what to say.
536
00:30:50,059 --> 00:30:53,481
I invested 5 shillings in the lives of 3
composers and I've a great deal to say.
537
00:30:53,837 --> 00:30:56,083
You didn't let me mention Chopin.
- Chopin ..
538
00:30:57,104 --> 00:31:00,623
If you would let me take you to dinner.
- I am not going to dinner with you.
539
00:31:16,465 --> 00:31:19,072
If I came. Where would we go?
540
00:31:19,449 --> 00:31:20,732
I thought, Claridge's.
541
00:31:21,035 --> 00:31:23,286
You wanted to say
'In your rooms' didn't you?
542
00:31:23,504 --> 00:31:25,837
I have thought of it.
- But you didn't think it was proper.
543
00:31:27,264 --> 00:31:28,751
Say it, for heaven's sake.
544
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,765
While I count ten, that you
didn't think it was proper.
545
00:31:32,407 --> 00:31:34,592
I didn't think it was proper.
- There. You see.
546
00:31:34,858 --> 00:31:36,833
What would you do if I hadn't said it?
- Kill you.
547
00:31:37,430 --> 00:31:39,559
Thank goodness my father
is a Presbyterian minister.
548
00:31:39,659 --> 00:31:40,735
I was raised right.
549
00:31:40,835 --> 00:31:43,377
Why did you have to say that?
I hate Presbyterians.
550
00:31:43,912 --> 00:31:45,692
They burned Michaels Michael Servetus.
551
00:31:46,399 --> 00:31:48,534
I can't possibly come now.
552
00:31:48,900 --> 00:31:50,059
You spoiled everything.
553
00:31:50,343 --> 00:31:52,560
I assure you my father
had no hand in it.
554
00:31:53,137 --> 00:31:56,108
Americans burn people.
They burned witches, didn't they?
555
00:31:56,358 --> 00:31:59,219
That's ridiculous. We stopped
that almost 300 years ago.
556
00:31:59,427 --> 00:32:02,342
You think it is very noble to
almost stop burning people.
557
00:32:02,442 --> 00:32:03,400
No, that's ..
558
00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:07,016
You feel very noble yourself because
you have given a great deal of money ..
559
00:32:07,271 --> 00:32:12,649
To organizations that try to almost stop
people from almost burning other people.
560
00:32:12,749 --> 00:32:14,003
You put words in my mouth.
561
00:32:14,103 --> 00:32:17,107
You took it off your income tax
and it hardly cost you anything.
562
00:32:18,407 --> 00:32:19,520
Isn't that right?
563
00:32:20,547 --> 00:32:21,611
That's right.
564
00:32:22,987 --> 00:32:25,974
Well, you provoke me
but I shall keep calm.
565
00:32:26,643 --> 00:32:28,096
Because the first thing I know ..
566
00:32:28,196 --> 00:32:31,445
You'll give another $1,000 in Michael
Servetus' name for a statue or similar.
567
00:32:32,008 --> 00:32:33,716
I am sure that is how your mind works.
568
00:32:34,315 --> 00:32:35,268
Doesn't it?
569
00:32:35,878 --> 00:32:36,587
No.
570
00:32:38,052 --> 00:32:38,787
No.
571
00:32:40,203 --> 00:32:42,154
What time shall I see you at Claridge's?
572
00:32:42,786 --> 00:32:45,199
Well, let's say 8 o'clock,
but I am picking you up.
573
00:32:45,412 --> 00:32:46,656
You are not picking me up.
574
00:32:46,756 --> 00:32:49,367
I have to pick you up.
- It wouldn't be proper.
575
00:32:49,755 --> 00:32:53,078
No. It's going to rain and you
won't find a taxi. Not at that hour.
576
00:32:53,410 --> 00:32:56,104
Where I live is precisely what
I am not going to tell you.
577
00:32:56,570 --> 00:32:58,043
What shall you wear to Claridge's?
578
00:32:58,417 --> 00:33:01,178
I though shirtsleeves.
- You are so tactful.
579
00:33:01,610 --> 00:33:03,831
You say that because you
think I have nothing to wear.
580
00:33:04,304 --> 00:33:07,711
Well, you will dress to the teeth
because that is how I expect to dress.
581
00:33:08,114 --> 00:33:08,700
Oh.
582
00:33:41,379 --> 00:33:42,633
Anyone using the piano?
583
00:33:42,733 --> 00:33:44,657
Not a soul in the shop
all day, Mrs Linka.
584
00:33:44,938 --> 00:33:46,302
That will be five shillings.
585
00:33:47,876 --> 00:33:49,693
Would you call me please
at a quarter to six?
586
00:33:49,837 --> 00:33:50,735
Certainly.
587
00:34:54,749 --> 00:34:55,559
Taxi.
588
00:35:02,279 --> 00:35:02,923
Taxi!
589
00:35:20,421 --> 00:35:21,441
Miriam.
590
00:35:24,347 --> 00:35:25,983
Sorry I am late. Come on.
591
00:35:26,510 --> 00:35:27,633
Come on, let's go.
592
00:35:46,798 --> 00:35:48,635
How did you know where I lived?
593
00:35:48,932 --> 00:35:49,531
Oh.
594
00:35:49,631 --> 00:35:53,169
It didn't take much ingenuity. I went to
your office and knocked down the door.
595
00:35:53,532 --> 00:35:55,980
I left some money on your desk
by the way to have it repaired.
596
00:35:56,210 --> 00:35:58,550
There are usually address
books lying around an office.
597
00:35:58,772 --> 00:36:00,912
And as luck would have it
I remembered your name.
598
00:36:02,273 --> 00:36:03,317
An American method.
599
00:36:05,445 --> 00:36:07,763
What bothered me was how long
it all took. And you waiting.
600
00:36:32,301 --> 00:36:34,015
It was almost the end of the war.
601
00:36:34,481 --> 00:36:36,233
When my husband was killed by the Nazis.
602
00:36:36,943 --> 00:36:38,497
He was in the Austrian resistance.
603
00:36:39,418 --> 00:36:41,281
Just two months more and ..
604
00:36:42,911 --> 00:36:44,499
You loved him?
- Yes I did.
605
00:36:44,821 --> 00:36:45,634
Very much.
606
00:36:47,161 --> 00:36:48,982
Three years separated by war.
607
00:36:49,703 --> 00:36:52,531
Three years for me in the
concentration camp at Ravensbr�ck.
608
00:36:53,319 --> 00:36:54,735
It's not easy to explain.
609
00:36:55,199 --> 00:36:57,949
The being hungry. The day-to-day filth.
610
00:36:58,703 --> 00:37:00,635
How do I survive until tomorrow.
611
00:37:01,571 --> 00:37:05,240
In a concentration camp one is like an
animal and like an animal one forgets.
612
00:37:05,746 --> 00:37:08,791
When I heard he was dead
it was like someone else.
613
00:37:09,157 --> 00:37:12,240
It was like somebody I
had met perhaps at a party.
614
00:37:14,702 --> 00:37:16,747
There are so many things, Mr Barton.
615
00:37:17,505 --> 00:37:19,268
One should not ask question of another.
616
00:37:19,945 --> 00:37:22,605
The war is one of those things for me.
617
00:37:23,148 --> 00:37:24,406
And for so many of us.
618
00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:27,065
So, let it be put away
someplace and forgotten.
619
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:31,127
After the war too, for
that matter. At Vienna.
620
00:37:33,356 --> 00:37:35,478
So I say enough. Too much.
621
00:37:36,001 --> 00:37:38,563
Three years ago, London.
The refugee artists.
622
00:37:39,017 --> 00:37:40,086
And here I am.
623
00:37:40,725 --> 00:37:43,082
You have listened with
such patience, Mr Barton.
624
00:37:43,408 --> 00:37:45,877
To the sad and sorrowful
story of my life.
625
00:37:46,441 --> 00:37:48,927
Now it is your turn.
And you will show me please ..
626
00:37:49,245 --> 00:37:51,701
Like all right-thinking
American businessmen ..
627
00:37:51,934 --> 00:37:53,645
The picture of your wife in New York.
628
00:37:54,030 --> 00:37:56,006
And of your most enchanting children.
629
00:37:57,722 --> 00:37:59,864
Oh, they don't? I am so sorry.
630
00:38:00,171 --> 00:38:02,467
No. It was alright.
I was thinking about you.
631
00:38:02,822 --> 00:38:03,855
Of course.
632
00:38:04,563 --> 00:38:05,991
And I am always so mean to you.
633
00:38:06,765 --> 00:38:08,267
But I shall not be mean to you now.
634
00:38:08,762 --> 00:38:10,023
After such a dinner.
635
00:38:10,559 --> 00:38:12,168
That brutal American beefsteak.
636
00:38:12,444 --> 00:38:13,952
And I have eaten it all.
637
00:38:14,725 --> 00:38:15,340
And.
638
00:38:15,871 --> 00:38:19,059
I must say I am sorry for this afternoon
when you came to my office.
639
00:38:19,722 --> 00:38:22,186
But you see, I had just
resigned from my position.
640
00:38:22,717 --> 00:38:23,622
What happened?
641
00:38:24,704 --> 00:38:27,728
Was it a Mr Chutwell who
told you certain things?
642
00:38:28,113 --> 00:38:29,896
You wrote the same
address on the cheque.
643
00:38:30,581 --> 00:38:32,055
Chutwell is no friend of mine.
644
00:38:32,806 --> 00:38:34,377
Oh. That is a relief.
645
00:38:35,270 --> 00:38:36,912
Well, this Mr Chutwell.
646
00:38:37,999 --> 00:38:40,740
You see, it's not the first time
that he entertains an American.
647
00:38:43,194 --> 00:38:45,414
It is not just Americans.
That is unfair.
648
00:38:45,937 --> 00:38:48,513
And anyway, it is a
most unimportant crisis.
649
00:38:48,903 --> 00:38:51,806
But tonight is Anna. She has
her husband dying someplace.
650
00:38:52,309 --> 00:38:54,401
And Berta. You saw Berta.
651
00:38:54,715 --> 00:38:56,287
She is so young and decent.
652
00:38:57,035 --> 00:38:58,345
Perhaps I am stupid.
653
00:38:58,830 --> 00:39:03,298
I should understand when great enormous
and rotten situations create refugees ..
654
00:39:03,676 --> 00:39:06,618
And leave a girl with
no home, no family.
655
00:39:06,797 --> 00:39:08,983
No place, no hope for dignity.
656
00:39:09,468 --> 00:39:11,262
And for her, how small is this.
657
00:39:11,881 --> 00:39:13,706
This final humiliation.
658
00:39:14,115 --> 00:39:15,732
I am stupid to check.
659
00:39:18,209 --> 00:39:20,862
And there comes a time
when one must be stupid.
660
00:39:21,271 --> 00:39:22,598
Necessarily stupid.
661
00:39:22,959 --> 00:39:24,604
Or no longer does one exit.
662
00:39:25,013 --> 00:39:26,409
I must say what I believe.
663
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,025
Do what I must do.
664
00:39:28,310 --> 00:39:30,258
Kick Mr Retchnikov in the shins.
665
00:39:30,535 --> 00:39:32,662
That was the pleasant part of it.
666
00:39:32,937 --> 00:39:36,012
I must speak, act, shout aloud or I die.
667
00:39:38,918 --> 00:39:41,551
Don't be a fool. Get up
on that table and shout.
668
00:39:41,779 --> 00:39:42,787
I'll go along.
669
00:39:46,629 --> 00:39:47,978
There is something in you.
670
00:39:48,919 --> 00:39:50,333
I never suspected.
671
00:39:52,523 --> 00:39:54,282
There is something in
me I never suspected.
672
00:39:54,887 --> 00:39:55,634
You are.
673
00:39:56,143 --> 00:39:57,432
Quite extraordinary.
674
00:39:58,368 --> 00:40:00,726
I make the jokes please.
- I am not joking.
675
00:40:01,263 --> 00:40:04,201
I don't like Americans. I don't
like overwhelming people.
676
00:40:04,943 --> 00:40:05,647
But.
677
00:40:06,379 --> 00:40:07,423
I do like you.
678
00:40:07,805 --> 00:40:09,013
Don't say that.
679
00:40:09,676 --> 00:40:11,045
The second time in two days ..
680
00:40:11,145 --> 00:40:13,419
That someone I respected with
whole heart said they liked me.
681
00:40:15,628 --> 00:40:18,095
Let's go dancing someplace.
Let's get out of here.
682
00:40:35,460 --> 00:40:38,973
It was the kind of evening one
dreams of on Sullivan Square.
683
00:40:40,246 --> 00:40:42,009
Take it away. I won't need you.
- Yes, sir.
684
00:40:42,109 --> 00:40:43,274
You are not coming in.
685
00:40:43,374 --> 00:40:45,395
No. I am walking back to
the hotel. I need the walk.
686
00:40:47,187 --> 00:40:49,869
What time shall I see you tomorrow?
- I am no seeing you tomorrow.
687
00:40:50,173 --> 00:40:51,668
I am busy. I need a job.
688
00:40:52,125 --> 00:40:53,637
You can't find a job on Sunday.
689
00:40:53,890 --> 00:40:55,856
Mr Barton. It is no good.
690
00:40:56,417 --> 00:40:58,592
I am a disturbance to you and you to me.
691
00:40:58,876 --> 00:41:00,074
It is so plain.
692
00:41:00,397 --> 00:41:03,099
It has been a happy meeting
but let us be sensible.
693
00:41:03,338 --> 00:41:05,634
Tomorrow night then at eight?
- I'm not seeing you tomorrow.
694
00:41:05,734 --> 00:41:06,552
Or again.
695
00:41:06,819 --> 00:41:08,150
Alright then. Monday at four.
696
00:41:09,186 --> 00:41:09,830
Five?
697
00:41:09,930 --> 00:41:12,145
Stop overwhelming me.
I will not be overwhelmed.
698
00:41:12,411 --> 00:41:14,095
Overwhelmed?
- Overwhelmed.
699
00:41:15,615 --> 00:41:16,504
Seven-thirty?
700
00:41:17,834 --> 00:41:18,706
Seven-thirty.
701
00:41:50,057 --> 00:41:52,171
What has got into you?
What happened to you over there?
702
00:41:54,301 --> 00:41:55,714
Nothing has happened to me.
703
00:41:56,319 --> 00:41:58,677
I warned you Friday. This is Monday.
704
00:41:59,003 --> 00:42:02,302
It's my growing conviction that if we
follow our strategy on West Africa ..
705
00:42:02,522 --> 00:42:05,685
And stick to costs and hold off
our real demand until the end ..
706
00:42:06,135 --> 00:42:08,949
We'll not only lose out on control,
but we'll be out of the deal entirely.
707
00:42:12,043 --> 00:42:14,093
Mr Salt, these people have pride.
708
00:42:15,818 --> 00:42:17,965
Sure, they'd be stupid to
pass up Amalgamated but ..
709
00:42:18,184 --> 00:42:20,592
Sometimes one has to be stupid.
Necessarily stupid.
710
00:42:21,467 --> 00:42:22,168
Stupid.
711
00:42:24,799 --> 00:42:28,692
Look, I am simply saying that in my
best judgment I've got to tell them now.
712
00:42:29,112 --> 00:42:31,873
Now, I know human nature
better than you do and I ..
713
00:42:33,020 --> 00:42:34,326
Don't interrupt me.
714
00:42:35,273 --> 00:42:36,674
Look. I think I know best.
715
00:42:38,019 --> 00:42:40,387
There's a great deal at stake and
you agreed with this strategy.
716
00:42:40,699 --> 00:42:41,923
Now, stick to costs.
717
00:42:42,777 --> 00:42:43,978
Joanie sends her love.
718
00:42:51,390 --> 00:42:52,786
You are sure of these costs?
719
00:42:54,283 --> 00:42:56,492
Well, in the Labrador
operation which I describe.
720
00:42:56,785 --> 00:43:00,155
Even when we had to deal with permafrost
we came out under thirty cents a yard.
721
00:43:00,843 --> 00:43:03,691
You know they will make more money
for us than we can for ourselves.
722
00:43:04,453 --> 00:43:05,820
It is astonishing.
723
00:43:37,864 --> 00:43:38,994
Let's go.
- Yes, sir.
724
00:43:56,449 --> 00:43:58,094
What have you been doing since Saturday?
725
00:44:00,649 --> 00:44:02,026
She can work a slide rule.
726
00:44:03,750 --> 00:44:06,375
I never knew a woman before
who could work a slide rule.
727
00:44:06,708 --> 00:44:07,970
Who?
- Berta.
728
00:44:08,329 --> 00:44:09,185
Berta?
729
00:44:09,460 --> 00:44:10,997
The girl Chutwell introduced me to.
730
00:44:12,734 --> 00:44:14,275
You won't believe this Cliff but ..
731
00:44:14,633 --> 00:44:16,349
I spent the whole weekend talking.
732
00:44:17,243 --> 00:44:18,286
Me. Talking.
733
00:44:18,942 --> 00:44:20,244
Except when she was singing.
734
00:44:20,550 --> 00:44:22,796
She doesn't talk, Cliff. She sings.
735
00:44:23,366 --> 00:44:24,038
Bless.
736
00:44:24,569 --> 00:44:26,907
For two whole days I have
been Thomas Alverdas.
737
00:44:28,012 --> 00:44:29,909
I have been Rutherford and Newton.
738
00:44:30,185 --> 00:44:32,885
Marconi and Einstein
all rolled into one.
739
00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:36,579
Why do things like this
have to happen to people?
740
00:44:39,163 --> 00:44:40,056
Too late.
741
00:44:52,886 --> 00:44:54,015
How many, sir?
742
00:44:54,467 --> 00:44:55,706
Six dozen please.
743
00:45:00,899 --> 00:45:01,657
You know.
744
00:45:02,162 --> 00:45:06,371
I was thinking Mr Barton that I've never
been so impressed with a negotiation.
745
00:45:08,087 --> 00:45:09,805
Tomorrow, would you say we should ..
746
00:45:11,209 --> 00:45:12,024
Wrap it up?
747
00:45:12,428 --> 00:45:13,529
We should wrap it up.
748
00:45:13,962 --> 00:45:14,682
Good.
749
00:45:30,373 --> 00:45:31,838
Oh. Sorry. Wrong button.
750
00:45:49,267 --> 00:45:50,731
I brought four policemen.
751
00:45:51,186 --> 00:45:51,915
Go away.
752
00:45:52,345 --> 00:45:53,418
I've no place to go.
753
00:45:53,809 --> 00:45:55,200
I don't want to see you.
754
00:45:55,545 --> 00:45:57,233
I am deeply offended by the flowers.
755
00:45:57,464 --> 00:45:58,766
Why? Don't you like flowers?
756
00:45:58,929 --> 00:46:01,611
How can you waste such money?
I have sent them all back.
757
00:46:02,500 --> 00:46:04,460
Oh, I am sorry. They were so pretty.
758
00:46:05,092 --> 00:46:07,316
I am not opening the door. Now go away.
759
00:46:07,906 --> 00:46:08,931
I don't want to.
760
00:46:09,152 --> 00:46:11,793
Please. What happened
to us last Saturday ..
761
00:46:12,091 --> 00:46:14,034
It is dangerous. It is no good.
762
00:46:14,326 --> 00:46:16,134
And because it happened
it does not mean ..
763
00:46:16,686 --> 00:46:17,686
Please go away.
764
00:46:20,701 --> 00:46:22,355
Are you still there?
- Sure.
765
00:46:23,082 --> 00:46:24,126
What are you doing?
766
00:46:24,265 --> 00:46:25,876
I am fine. I am happy.
767
00:46:26,657 --> 00:46:29,751
But don't you have a picture of yourself
that you could slide under the door ..
768
00:46:29,851 --> 00:46:31,539
And I can look at while I am waiting?
769
00:46:33,448 --> 00:46:34,504
No, no. Never mind.
770
00:46:34,848 --> 00:46:36,897
I see you fine now through
this crack in the door.
771
00:46:38,449 --> 00:46:39,159
Fine.
772
00:46:40,149 --> 00:46:43,233
I bet the florist wouldn't take those
flowers back but they do look lovely.
773
00:46:43,618 --> 00:46:44,405
Barbarian.
774
00:46:45,064 --> 00:46:46,662
That dress is really becoming.
775
00:46:46,995 --> 00:46:48,349
How dare he mention ..
776
00:46:49,010 --> 00:46:50,671
You look marvelous just the way you are.
777
00:46:50,893 --> 00:46:52,973
If we have dinner in Chelsea
you won't have to change.
778
00:46:53,073 --> 00:46:54,273
I am not coming.
779
00:46:54,686 --> 00:46:56,318
Well, it was only to say goodbye.
780
00:47:01,504 --> 00:47:02,592
What do you mean?
781
00:47:02,925 --> 00:47:04,713
I am going back to New York.
Maybe Thursday.
782
00:47:06,318 --> 00:47:06,929
So?
783
00:47:08,182 --> 00:47:10,607
Well, dreadful as you are ..
784
00:47:11,228 --> 00:47:12,891
I wish you well in New York.
785
00:47:13,257 --> 00:47:14,643
Fun and games.
- Thank you.
786
00:47:15,342 --> 00:47:17,244
I'll wait on the stairs
while you get your coat.
787
00:47:17,943 --> 00:47:19,424
I'm not getting my coat.
788
00:47:19,761 --> 00:47:21,320
I thought I was telling you goodbye.
789
00:47:21,650 --> 00:47:23,004
That was all changed.
790
00:47:36,116 --> 00:47:37,440
I don't like that monument.
791
00:47:37,909 --> 00:47:38,781
It is a pity.
792
00:47:39,081 --> 00:47:42,200
The one square in London that I do
not like and that it should be mine.
793
00:47:47,783 --> 00:47:50,286
Are you crazy always
like this in New York?
794
00:47:50,597 --> 00:47:51,261
No.
795
00:47:51,928 --> 00:47:55,506
Well, it is nice to know that you
don't sit on monuments and ..
796
00:47:55,943 --> 00:47:57,600
Peek at your wife through doors.
797
00:47:58,576 --> 00:47:59,538
I have no wife.
798
00:48:01,402 --> 00:48:02,503
You are insufferable.
799
00:48:03,483 --> 00:48:05,913
Do you never tell people
you have no wife until ..
800
00:48:07,906 --> 00:48:09,236
It makes a difference to you?
801
00:48:09,648 --> 00:48:10,399
No.
802
00:48:11,476 --> 00:48:12,193
No!
803
00:48:12,441 --> 00:48:14,992
If you would sit still for a minute
I would ask you to marry me.
804
00:48:17,032 --> 00:48:18,661
This is truly madness.
805
00:48:20,104 --> 00:48:22,178
How can you amount to anything?
806
00:48:22,855 --> 00:48:25,356
And be so crazy?
- That's my problem.
807
00:48:27,619 --> 00:48:29,754
I will say that I love you.
808
00:48:31,478 --> 00:48:32,937
But it is wrong.
809
00:48:33,506 --> 00:48:34,839
What do you know of me?
810
00:48:35,114 --> 00:48:37,760
Where I came from?
What I was in the war?
811
00:48:38,108 --> 00:48:39,910
And the concentration camp in Vienna.
812
00:48:40,149 --> 00:48:41,994
I am in love with a woman,
not a history book.
813
00:48:42,282 --> 00:48:43,194
Oh, Cliff.
814
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:45,530
I am so wrong for you.
815
00:48:46,085 --> 00:48:47,101
Don't you know it?
816
00:48:47,725 --> 00:48:49,327
You must marry some girl who is ..
817
00:48:49,538 --> 00:48:52,377
Sweet and presentable
and will always say yes.
818
00:48:53,020 --> 00:48:54,522
I am engaged to that girl.
819
00:48:55,538 --> 00:48:58,377
We were to be married by Saturday night.
The night we went to Claridge's.
820
00:48:59,262 --> 00:49:00,392
I am very fond of her.
821
00:49:01,093 --> 00:49:03,773
She doesn't know that I
will never marry her.
822
00:49:04,416 --> 00:49:06,234
That is, whether you marry me or not.
823
00:49:10,150 --> 00:49:11,758
Oh, my darling.
824
00:49:20,380 --> 00:49:21,765
Do you not understand?
825
00:49:23,373 --> 00:49:24,848
That I am so afraid of you.
826
00:49:25,392 --> 00:49:26,698
Of course I do.
827
00:49:40,119 --> 00:49:42,020
There is nothing to
terrible as thinking.
828
00:49:43,191 --> 00:49:44,738
But for tonight I advise it.
829
00:49:45,150 --> 00:49:47,246
For both of us.
- I've done my thinking.
830
00:49:48,100 --> 00:49:49,287
I doubt that.
831
00:49:50,407 --> 00:49:53,195
But at any rate, tomorrow
night you will be in your room.
832
00:49:53,461 --> 00:49:55,235
All starched and pretty.
833
00:49:55,768 --> 00:49:58,626
And if it's a nice evening
I shall wear a gown.
834
00:49:58,947 --> 00:50:00,306
Which will show me off to you.
835
00:50:00,845 --> 00:50:03,339
And at 8 o'clock you will
have ordered champagne.
836
00:50:03,673 --> 00:50:05,257
And a lovely pheasant.
837
00:50:05,847 --> 00:50:07,448
And don't please be worried.
838
00:50:07,876 --> 00:50:09,571
For I shall be there.
839
00:50:26,779 --> 00:50:27,930
This will do.
840
00:50:29,274 --> 00:50:32,300
I had certain apprehensions when
you suggested coming here alone.
841
00:50:33,009 --> 00:50:35,500
But I see you and my
apprehensions disappear.
842
00:50:35,829 --> 00:50:37,703
Well, that's a pity because
they are justified.
843
00:50:43,166 --> 00:50:44,190
A sherry?
844
00:50:45,632 --> 00:50:46,430
Please.
845
00:50:48,116 --> 00:50:49,655
Do go on because you see ..
846
00:50:50,385 --> 00:50:51,769
My heart has stopped beating.
847
00:50:53,309 --> 00:50:55,727
Since we've reached a figure
which we can mutually agree ..
848
00:50:55,827 --> 00:50:58,754
Represented minimum costs and minimum
financing I have checked with New York.
849
00:50:59,453 --> 00:51:02,487
It is our decision that the risk does
not justify such an investment.
850
00:51:03,352 --> 00:51:06,004
If we are to assume such a risk we
must have commensurate authority.
851
00:51:07,013 --> 00:51:09,404
Control of the joint corporation
must go to Amalgamated ..
852
00:51:09,504 --> 00:51:12,820
With 52% of the stock in our
treasury and myself as chairman.
853
00:51:16,048 --> 00:51:17,139
Well, my ..
854
00:51:17,816 --> 00:51:20,855
Heart is beating again but that
is about all I can say for it.
855
00:51:23,261 --> 00:51:24,349
Thank you.
856
00:51:26,979 --> 00:51:29,319
What is your opinion Mr Barton
of these demands?
857
00:51:30,116 --> 00:51:32,293
When I left New York I
considered them quite in order.
858
00:51:33,674 --> 00:51:36,229
You knew of these proposals
when we entered negotiations?
859
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:37,338
I did.
860
00:51:40,033 --> 00:51:42,075
I am afraid I am taking
this rather badly.
861
00:51:42,512 --> 00:51:43,366
Sorry.
862
00:51:44,808 --> 00:51:48,404
Do you consider the proposals at this
point in the negotiations are in order?
863
00:51:49,283 --> 00:51:52,039
I am representing Amalgamated
World Metals. Not Carew Limited.
864
00:51:55,641 --> 00:52:00,280
I shall somehow resist the considerable
temptation to jump off Waterloo bridge.
865
00:52:01,708 --> 00:52:04,423
We are not bent on suicide
over here, Mr Barton.
866
00:52:05,410 --> 00:52:09,364
If we have learnt anything in our fairly
long experience it is that the proud ..
867
00:52:09,974 --> 00:52:11,722
May sometimes seem foolish.
868
00:52:12,725 --> 00:52:14,211
But they die last.
869
00:52:15,098 --> 00:52:18,714
I reject your proposals of course and
terminate the negotiations which I'll ..
870
00:52:19,492 --> 00:52:22,381
File away among my more
unsavoury recollections.
871
00:52:26,482 --> 00:52:28,098
Well, if you have finished your sherry.
872
00:52:28,525 --> 00:52:29,111
No.
873
00:52:32,482 --> 00:52:35,055
Well, that's naturally what I
expected, Mr Carew. And I am ..
874
00:52:35,432 --> 00:52:36,995
Grateful to escape with my life.
875
00:52:38,845 --> 00:52:42,538
I wonder if you and Mr Pitt-Semphill can
come to New York in a few days or so.
876
00:52:43,168 --> 00:52:45,397
You will have to soon
to see some competitor.
877
00:52:47,997 --> 00:52:51,042
I want nothing more than to take up
right where we were a few minutes ago.
878
00:52:51,818 --> 00:52:53,572
I cannot promise anything.
879
00:52:54,247 --> 00:52:56,793
My relations with Mr Salt
may be compromised by ..
880
00:52:57,171 --> 00:52:58,102
Another factor.
881
00:52:59,644 --> 00:53:03,055
But I can't believe that Amalgamated
in the end will pass up such a ..
882
00:53:03,610 --> 00:53:06,549
Golden egg simply because it
can't have the upper hand.
883
00:53:11,478 --> 00:53:12,964
Bring me another sherry.
884
00:53:13,940 --> 00:53:17,541
You know. At a time like this I
wish I had a taste for bourbon.
885
00:53:23,022 --> 00:53:24,031
[ Door knocks ]
886
00:53:24,575 --> 00:53:25,325
Come in.
887
00:54:28,396 --> 00:54:30,952
If I live to a thousand I
shall never forget you.
888
00:54:32,483 --> 00:54:33,714
But I cannot marry you.
889
00:54:35,688 --> 00:54:37,016
These English.
890
00:54:37,415 --> 00:54:39,767
Their poets have such
a way of saying things.
891
00:54:40,764 --> 00:54:41,608
What was it?
892
00:54:41,985 --> 00:54:45,839
'I could not love thee dear so
much, loved I not honour more'.
893
00:54:47,195 --> 00:54:49,691
There must always be
something more than love, Cliff.
894
00:54:50,057 --> 00:54:51,344
Or love is bankrupt.
895
00:54:52,364 --> 00:54:54,260
With me it is my identity.
896
00:54:55,037 --> 00:54:55,823
Yes.
897
00:54:56,801 --> 00:54:58,656
'This stupid little treasure'.
898
00:54:59,126 --> 00:55:01,314
'That whatever I am,
to this I shall be true'.
899
00:55:02,102 --> 00:55:03,735
That little identity.
900
00:55:04,443 --> 00:55:07,626
They are protected by the
most ridiculous actions.
901
00:55:08,070 --> 00:55:09,444
One tyranny after another.
902
00:55:10,245 --> 00:55:11,652
This I should lose.
903
00:55:11,942 --> 00:55:14,946
A splendid terrifying,
overwhelming American.
904
00:55:15,946 --> 00:55:20,817
The wife of someone as
splendid and terrifying as you.
905
00:55:22,015 --> 00:55:23,925
What honestly do you know about America?
906
00:55:25,778 --> 00:55:27,696
I knew you would have
some asinine objections ..
907
00:55:27,796 --> 00:55:30,114
So I tried to get you a seat
on my plane for tomorrow.
908
00:55:30,857 --> 00:55:31,815
I am not coming.
909
00:55:31,933 --> 00:55:34,706
That's right. You haven't a visa. That
I'll attend to first thing in New York.
910
00:55:34,806 --> 00:55:36,147
Cliff, stop overwhelming me.
911
00:55:36,247 --> 00:55:38,255
Anybody who can
overwhelm you deserves it.
912
00:55:38,718 --> 00:55:40,448
You'll come to New York in a few days ..
913
00:55:40,548 --> 00:55:43,276
Look around, find out what a sublime
idiot you are, and marry me.
914
00:55:43,376 --> 00:55:44,352
Stop it please.
915
00:55:44,452 --> 00:55:47,546
You won't have money so I went to that
bank on the corner near your office ..
916
00:55:47,646 --> 00:55:49,875
And deposited a thousand
dollars in your name.
917
00:55:52,782 --> 00:55:56,201
You'll say 'no' when I get on the plane
tomorrow. You'll say 'no' the next day.
918
00:55:57,437 --> 00:55:59,683
But in the end, you will
come Miriam because ..
919
00:56:00,104 --> 00:56:01,945
Anything else would be too absurd.
920
00:56:02,811 --> 00:56:03,937
Because you love me.
921
00:56:05,523 --> 00:56:06,981
Because I love you.
922
00:56:07,857 --> 00:56:10,590
Cliff, I have said what
would happen to me.
923
00:56:11,190 --> 00:56:13,366
I haven't even said what
would happen to you.
924
00:56:15,260 --> 00:56:18,186
Would it be too overwhelming to suggest
there is some cold pheasant waiting?
925
00:56:18,521 --> 00:56:19,836
Some warm champagne?
926
00:56:30,568 --> 00:56:32,418
How are you, Mr Barton.
Glad to see you back.
927
00:56:32,518 --> 00:56:34,248
Thanks. Grab those bags will you.
- Right.
928
00:56:41,211 --> 00:56:43,228
Have someone take these
things over to my apartment.
929
00:56:44,035 --> 00:56:46,320
Telephone Mrs Everett.
Tell her Lester has been delayed.
930
00:56:46,420 --> 00:56:48,293
He'll be coming on in a
few days with Mr Carew.
931
00:56:48,818 --> 00:56:50,994
Make an appointment
with a good visa lawyer.
932
00:56:51,476 --> 00:56:54,155
And get me a date with somebody
from Steinways about buying a piano.
933
00:56:54,500 --> 00:56:58,073
Have them send a man round with paper
cut-outs so we can decide on size.
934
00:56:58,397 --> 00:57:00,366
Don't tell me you are
taking piano lessons?
935
00:57:00,625 --> 00:57:05,210
Send a cable to Mrs Miriam Linka,
Number 4 Sullivan Square, London.
936
00:57:06,016 --> 00:57:07,640
To say: 'No nonsense, please'.
937
00:57:08,086 --> 00:57:09,159

940
00:57:15,017 --> 00:57:16,411
Oh. Thank you.
941
00:57:17,014 --> 00:57:18,775
Miss Salt is still in North Hampton.
942
00:57:18,875 --> 00:57:21,464
They don't know when she's coming in.
Shall I put a call through to her?
943
00:57:22,064 --> 00:57:23,172
Good morning.
944
00:57:27,074 --> 00:57:28,577
Come in to my office, Cliff.
945
00:57:38,216 --> 00:57:40,244
What fell on you over
there I will never know.
946
00:57:42,616 --> 00:57:43,906
You look the same.
947
00:57:44,352 --> 00:57:45,687
Nothing 'fell' on me.
948
00:57:46,244 --> 00:57:49,175
I saw what Carew was like. That's all.
I tried to warn you what would happen.
949
00:57:49,599 --> 00:57:51,281
And, as I cabled .. it happened.
950
00:57:52,353 --> 00:57:53,782
They'll be coming over shortly.
951
00:57:53,882 --> 00:57:56,165
It will be good for you to meet
Carew and see for yourself.
952
00:57:56,990 --> 00:57:59,795
You mean I will have to put
over myself what you couldn't?
953
00:58:01,741 --> 00:58:03,128
I'd like to show you something.
954
00:58:09,886 --> 00:58:13,137
Fred Delehanty and his boys have
been working 18 hours a day.
955
00:58:14,234 --> 00:58:16,231
If you saw anything
like this in London ..
956
00:58:16,748 --> 00:58:17,477
Tell me.
957
00:58:21,734 --> 00:58:22,378
Well?
958
00:58:22,733 --> 00:58:24,581
Did you see anything
like this in London?
959
00:58:26,448 --> 00:58:28,084
The West African mine.
960
00:58:36,818 --> 00:58:38,603
Well, I will ask you once more.
961
00:58:40,193 --> 00:58:41,948
No. I saw nothing like it in London.
962
00:58:42,141 --> 00:58:43,042
It is perfect.
963
00:58:43,736 --> 00:58:45,069
Except for one detail.
964
00:58:48,004 --> 00:58:49,306
What happened to you, Cliff?
965
00:58:50,456 --> 00:58:52,176
I've gambled everything on you.
966
00:58:53,365 --> 00:58:55,004
Amalgamated represents my life.
967
00:58:55,634 --> 00:58:56,707
I have nothing else.
968
00:58:57,143 --> 00:58:58,180
No children.
969
00:58:58,801 --> 00:59:00,952
There is Joanie of course.
But I've given her to you.
970
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,101
I thought that I'd ..
971
00:59:04,104 --> 00:59:08,329
Create another man in my own likeness
to inherit what I have and what I am.
972
00:59:09,975 --> 00:59:12,324
This isn't just the matter
of a deal, won or lost.
973
00:59:13,235 --> 00:59:14,134
I'll win it.
974
00:59:15,567 --> 00:59:17,029
What counts Cliff is that ..
975
00:59:17,722 --> 00:59:19,219
Well, I have no-one but you.
976
00:59:21,612 --> 00:59:24,523
We've been together for so many
years and now suddenly you have ..
977
00:59:28,535 --> 00:59:31,533
Can't we just see this as a difference
of opinion? We've had them before.
978
00:59:32,845 --> 00:59:34,414
We agreed on a certain strategy.
979
00:59:34,514 --> 00:59:36,473
We came up against something
we didn't anticipate.
980
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,712
I changed my opinion in
view of new necessities.
981
00:59:40,135 --> 00:59:41,173
What necessities?
982
00:59:41,929 --> 00:59:42,653
Pride.
983
00:59:43,089 --> 00:59:45,236
What is to do about pride? I have pride.
984
00:59:46,135 --> 00:59:48,782
Then the necessity of leaving
room for the next man's.
985
00:59:54,876 --> 00:59:56,178
What happened to you, Cliff?
986
00:59:58,603 --> 00:59:59,990
Look. Let's take this up later.
987
01:00:00,102 --> 01:00:02,372
I haven't been home. I need a shower.
I have a few errands.
988
01:00:14,646 --> 01:00:16,513
Assuming there is no security problem ..
989
01:00:16,613 --> 01:00:19,485
I don't see why she shouldn't
be given a visitor's visa.
990
01:00:20,300 --> 01:00:22,151
There should be no real delay.
Three months.
991
01:00:22,885 --> 01:00:23,792
Three months?
992
01:00:24,124 --> 01:00:26,351
But I want to marry her.
Next week, if she'll come.
993
01:00:26,989 --> 01:00:30,004
You didn't say you wanted to marry her.
This brings up another problem.
994
01:00:30,739 --> 01:00:32,781
If she's coming here for
the purpose of marriage ..
995
01:00:32,881 --> 01:00:35,210
Then naturally, she'll have to
wait for an immigrant's visa.
996
01:00:35,310 --> 01:00:36,584
Who do I see in Washington?
997
01:00:36,779 --> 01:00:39,277
Mr Barton. I assume that you know
the right people, but be careful.
998
01:00:39,794 --> 01:00:41,124
These days things are touchy.
999
01:00:41,576 --> 01:00:43,577
Swing too much weight and you will ..
- Thank you.
1000
01:00:47,844 --> 01:00:49,309
Fine. Can do. Goodbye.
1001
01:00:50,018 --> 01:00:51,691
Brother Howie.
- Brother Cliff.
1002
01:00:51,957 --> 01:00:52,988
Good old Yale.
1003
01:00:53,243 --> 01:00:55,317
Fifteen years. What do you want?
- It's a long story.
1004
01:00:55,528 --> 01:00:57,521
Make it as harrowing as possible.
- I am in love.
1005
01:00:57,845 --> 01:00:59,043
That is too harrowing.
1006
01:00:59,143 --> 01:01:01,977
Her name is Mrs Miriam Linka and you're
too dull a bureaucrat to appreciate her.
1007
01:01:02,077 --> 01:01:04,666
But .. if she'll have me I want to marry
her. I need to know what to do.
1008
01:01:05,513 --> 01:01:08,375
At your age, what a question.
- No. I mean there are problems.
1009

An Austrian citizen living in
London with an IRO passport.
1010
01:01:11,849 --> 01:01:15,230
Can't you go to London, marry her there
and then she'd acquire non-quota status?
1011
01:01:15,433 --> 01:01:17,451
I can't go to London.
I want to marry her next week.
1012
01:01:17,551 --> 01:01:19,882
And why in all that's holy can't
I marry her in my own country?
1013
01:01:20,169 --> 01:01:22,597
This isn't a problem.
This is an international incident.
1014
01:01:23,106 --> 01:01:25,424
Got any ideas?
- Certainly. Amputate both legs.
1015
01:01:25,524 --> 01:01:27,919
And apply for an act of grace
because you can't travel.
1016
01:01:28,019 --> 01:01:29,036
This isn't funny.
1017
01:01:29,461 --> 01:01:30,725
Brother Barton.
1018
01:01:31,136 --> 01:01:34,213
Boy, it certainly hits you middle-aged
Bennies like a ton of bricks.
1019
01:01:34,929 --> 01:01:36,854
Wait until I tell my wife.
She is romantic.
1020
01:01:37,871 --> 01:01:39,401
Here, take a drink of water.
1021
01:01:40,314 --> 01:01:40,929
Now.
1022
01:01:41,313 --> 01:01:44,142
Is there any possibility of communist
affiliations past or present?
1023
01:01:44,407 --> 01:01:46,669
That is impossible.
- What about Mister Linka?
1024
01:01:46,869 --> 01:01:49,087
He was killed in 1945 in
the Austrian resistance.
1025
01:01:49,353 --> 01:01:51,105
There, you see.
He could have been a red.
1026
01:01:51,382 --> 01:01:54,174
Howie, we're talking about the woman
I want to marry. You don't just ask ..
1027
01:01:54,462 --> 01:01:58,433
I understand. The question is, when I am
called to a congressional committee ..
1028
01:01:58,533 --> 01:01:59,644
Will they understand?
1029
01:01:59,744 --> 01:02:01,789
A few more days like this
and I will turn into a red.
1030
01:02:02,508 --> 01:02:04,252
Please, you are in Washington, pal.
1031
01:02:05,310 --> 01:02:06,440
Cliff, how about this?
1032
01:02:06,891 --> 01:02:08,278
I can get her a visitor's visa.
1033
01:02:08,676 --> 01:02:11,559
She states her intention to leave
for a foreign country. Alright.
1034
01:02:11,935 --> 01:02:15,304
She comes to New York. You fly her down
to Mexico City, get married and 'voila'.
1035
01:02:16,882 --> 01:02:18,427
Howard Carruthers for president.
1036
01:02:18,615 --> 01:02:20,855
No, thank you. Just save me
a floor at Rockefeller center.
1037
01:02:21,067 --> 01:02:23,140
There is one thing though.
I'll have to be covered.
1038
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:24,744
I need a letter.
- Nothing easier.
1039
01:02:24,844 --> 01:02:27,879
Some letter stating that the US economy
will collapse if you leave the country.
1040
01:02:28,084 --> 01:02:30,785
Making passing reference
to your heroic war deeds.
1041
01:02:31,188 --> 01:02:34,161
And ending in some hymn of
praise for the lady's qualifications.
1042
01:02:34,450 --> 01:02:36,812
Preferably in the manner of
a Shakespearian sonnet.
1043
01:02:37,010 --> 01:02:39,000
I'll write that in my sleep.
- Not you. Sorry.
1044
01:02:39,196 --> 01:02:41,728
It will have to come from the chairman.
That is George Salt, isn't it?
1045
01:02:43,714 --> 01:02:44,987
You can get it, can't you?
1046
01:02:46,315 --> 01:02:47,281
Of course.
1047
01:02:48,276 --> 01:02:49,864
Brother Howie, I'll never forget this.
1048
01:02:50,058 --> 01:02:51,188
My boy, it is nothing.
1049
01:02:51,608 --> 01:02:53,922
Your government, and
it is your government.
1050
01:02:54,349 --> 01:02:57,795
Takes a paternal interest in the
welfare of all large taxpayers.
1051
01:02:57,974 --> 01:02:58,866
I'll see you.
1052
01:03:02,744 --> 01:03:03,559
So, we met.
1053
01:03:04,509 --> 01:03:05,735
She made me furious.
1054
01:03:07,330 --> 01:03:08,546
I took her out to dinner.
1055
01:03:08,909 --> 01:03:11,200
I suppose, to see if I could make
her act like a human being.
1056
01:03:12,285 --> 01:03:14,903
Before I knew it, I was wondering if I
had ever acted like a human being.
1057
01:03:15,406 --> 01:03:16,843
She sounds wonderful.
1058
01:03:18,441 --> 01:03:19,487
You are killing me.
1059
01:03:20,426 --> 01:03:22,643
There's something about it that
just turned me upside down.
1060
01:03:22,761 --> 01:03:25,456
It made me question everything
I'd ever done or ever will do.
1061
01:03:26,839 --> 01:03:28,957
Where I wind up with
your uncle, I don't know.
1062
01:03:29,464 --> 01:03:31,182
I hope you beat him to a pulp.
1063
01:03:33,271 --> 01:03:34,342
Joanie, I love her.
1064
01:03:35,700 --> 01:03:36,418
Sure.
1065
01:03:37,734 --> 01:03:40,495
I've acted like a heel most of
my life and didn't know it.
1066
01:03:43,339 --> 01:03:45,398
Would you believe me?
This time I know it.
1067
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:48,381
You are not acting like a heel.
1068
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:51,751
You are such a square.
1069
01:03:52,359 --> 01:03:54,657
If you think you are breaking
my heart you are crazy.
1070
01:03:55,303 --> 01:03:56,635
You always bored me stiff.
1071
01:03:57,242 --> 01:03:58,267
Don't you know it?
1072
01:03:58,887 --> 01:04:01,935
You never knew what to say
to me except how cute I was.
1073
01:04:02,470 --> 01:04:03,836
There was nothing else to say.
1074
01:04:04,167 --> 01:04:05,612
I didn't know what to say to you.
1075
01:04:07,434 --> 01:04:08,736
You didn't want to marry me.
1076
01:04:09,364 --> 01:04:11,073
And I didn't want to marry you.
1077
01:04:11,744 --> 01:04:15,237
I used to feel like somebody
engaged to the Grand Coulee Dam.
1078
01:04:16,152 --> 01:04:17,236
When I was little ..
1079
01:04:17,336 --> 01:04:20,453
I always dreamed of a fellow with
curly hair who played in a band.
1080
01:04:20,973 --> 01:04:23,124
I don't mean that I
don't love you, Cliff.
1081
01:04:23,513 --> 01:04:25,330
Because I do in a way, but ..
1082
01:04:25,686 --> 01:04:27,255
Oh boy, am I happy.
1083
01:04:29,321 --> 01:04:30,008
Funny.
1084
01:04:30,373 --> 01:04:32,981
You know, this is the first time
I ever really wanted you.
1085
01:04:39,043 --> 01:04:41,716
But .. are you going to be
in a jam with uncle George.
1086
01:04:46,734 --> 01:04:51,010
Carew arrives tomorrow from London and
I'll handle the negotiations my own way.
1087
01:04:51,624 --> 01:04:53,498
I'd be grateful if you
stay out of the picture.
1088
01:04:53,622 --> 01:04:56,316
Go out of town, It might be a good time
for you and Joanie to get married.
1089
01:04:56,711 --> 01:04:58,013
You'd save face that way.
1090
01:04:58,445 --> 01:05:00,033
And Joanie has been very disappointed.
1091
01:05:00,441 --> 01:05:01,285
What's this?
1092
01:05:01,791 --> 01:05:04,054
A letter to a man named Carruthers
in the State Department.
1093
01:05:04,154 --> 01:05:05,655
I've drawn it up for our signature.
1094
01:05:06,761 --> 01:05:08,446
It's self-explanatory, I believe.
1095
01:05:19,554 --> 01:05:22,400
I think it covers everything
except that .. I love her.
1096
01:05:29,741 --> 01:05:31,063
Well, have you seen Joanie?
1097
01:05:31,938 --> 01:05:35,030
Joanie asked me to tell you that I've
made her the happiest girl in the world.
1098
01:05:36,004 --> 01:05:36,905
You are lying.
1099
01:05:37,888 --> 01:05:38,646
Call her.
1100
01:05:40,375 --> 01:05:42,166
It was a wrong idea, Joanie and I.
1101
01:05:42,445 --> 01:05:44,111
I don't care what Joanie thinks.
1102
01:05:44,755 --> 01:05:45,603
Not a bit.
1103
01:05:46,187 --> 01:05:49,063
All I know is that by marrying Joanie
you were doing the right thing.
1104
01:05:49,601 --> 01:05:50,422
And this?
1105
01:05:52,385 --> 01:05:53,613
I care about you.
1106
01:05:54,015 --> 01:05:56,531
If you care about me then ..
- Is this what happened in London?
1107
01:05:57,767 --> 01:05:58,439
Is it?
1108
01:05:59,275 --> 01:06:00,862
Yes. For the most part it is.
1109
01:06:01,289 --> 01:06:03,077
Is this all you know
about her on this page?
1110
01:06:03,275 --> 01:06:05,203
What one can write
down which isn't much.
1111
01:06:05,735 --> 01:06:07,781
'Age. Maiden name'.
'Where she was born'.
1112
01:06:07,997 --> 01:06:08,936
Don't you know?
1113
01:06:09,939 --> 01:06:11,470
Or did you forget to write it down?
1114
01:06:11,786 --> 01:06:12,658
I don't know.
1115
01:06:12,912 --> 01:06:13,861
You don't know.
1116
01:06:14,730 --> 01:06:17,112
She plays the piano. At least
you know something about her.
1117
01:06:17,685 --> 01:06:20,048
What does your father think about this?
- I haven't told him.
1118
01:06:21,173 --> 01:06:22,816
I've had no time to see him. I resent ..
1119
01:06:22,916 --> 01:06:25,370
What does your man Carew think of her?
- He didn't meet her.
1120
01:06:25,470 --> 01:06:26,400
And why not?
1121
01:06:26,585 --> 01:06:29,674
Mr Salt, I was in London exactly 7 days.
- You were there long enough for this.
1122
01:06:31,085 --> 01:06:32,700
Or was 30 minutes long enough for this?
1123
01:06:33,013 --> 01:06:34,553
Don't say something we can't forget.
1124
01:06:34,653 --> 01:06:37,492
Can I forget Cliff, that you and all
you mean to me want to marry ..
1125
01:06:37,592 --> 01:06:40,656
A stateless, placeless, nameless
refugee out of central Europe?
1126
01:06:41,463 --> 01:06:44,801
Someone I must guarantee before your own
government will permit into the country.
1127
01:06:44,989 --> 01:06:46,170
That's a technicality.
1128
01:06:46,678 --> 01:06:48,189
It's a technicality, I suppose ..
1129
01:06:48,289 --> 01:06:51,335
That this same woman in the space
of a few days has infected you ..
1130
01:06:51,734 --> 01:06:53,903
With ideas radical and foreign.
1131
01:06:54,617 --> 01:06:57,585
Ideas antagonistic to your
company's interests.
1132
01:06:58,355 --> 01:06:59,669
And let us say it, Cliff.
1133
01:07:00,331 --> 01:07:01,828
To the interests of your country.
1134
01:07:01,928 --> 01:07:03,702
I seem to be having a nightmare.
1135
01:07:04,003 --> 01:07:05,276
How else can you figure it?
1136
01:07:05,781 --> 01:07:08,232
Will Guy Eliot see it differently?
Or any director?
1137
01:07:08,598 --> 01:07:12,158
We used an unprincipled strategy
to back up an unjustified demand.
1138
01:07:12,651 --> 01:07:13,956
Because I have objected ..
1139
01:07:14,144 --> 01:07:16,538
Are you going call it disloyalty
and tag it on to Miriam?
1140
01:07:23,957 --> 01:07:26,346
What was the one detail you objected to?
1141
01:07:31,276 --> 01:07:31,948
Cliff.
1142
01:07:43,740 --> 01:07:45,622
I never expected to be saying to you.
1143
01:07:46,154 --> 01:07:47,478
'Go easy, be careful'.
1144
01:07:47,919 --> 01:07:49,257
'Know what you are doing'.
1145
01:07:50,393 --> 01:07:51,723
This comes hard son, but ..
1146
01:07:52,278 --> 01:07:53,965
I am no revolutionary character.
1147
01:07:54,959 --> 01:07:56,325
I don't have what it takes.
1148
01:07:56,703 --> 01:07:59,225
And my only excuse is
that it takes a great deal.
1149
01:08:00,503 --> 01:08:03,195
That doesn't mean I am not
the first to say to the next fellow:
1150
01:08:03,710 --> 01:08:05,261
'Go ahead, stick your neck out'.
1151
01:08:05,583 --> 01:08:06,742
'Go in and get killed'.
1152
01:08:07,162 --> 01:08:09,961
Count on me son to deliver
a magnificent eulogy ..
1153
01:08:10,061 --> 01:08:11,783
Over your bruised and battered body.
1154
01:08:12,669 --> 01:08:14,240
All I want to do is get married.
1155
01:08:14,641 --> 01:08:16,030
You think. Excuse me.
1156
01:08:17,289 --> 01:08:18,275
[ Telephone ]
1157
01:08:20,339 --> 01:08:20,954
Yes?
1158
01:08:22,203 --> 01:08:22,904
Oh yes.
1159
01:08:24,457 --> 01:08:25,301
That's good.
1160
01:08:25,833 --> 01:08:27,016
I'll tell him. Yes.
1161
01:08:28,603 --> 01:08:31,153
That was Salt.
He preferred not to talk to you.
1162
01:08:32,067 --> 01:08:34,456
He says to tell you that he has
signed your letter and mailed it.
1163
01:08:35,143 --> 01:08:36,473
And he does it under protest.
1164
01:08:38,547 --> 01:08:41,085
All I can say is she had
better be good looking.
1165
01:08:45,891 --> 01:08:47,484
Ah, the good old USA.
1166
01:08:47,784 --> 01:08:48,413
Eh?
1167
01:08:54,798 --> 01:08:55,613
Thank you.
1168
01:08:56,355 --> 01:09:00,026
You understand Mr Salt, my consternation
in London when I heard of this proposal.
1169
01:09:01,247 --> 01:09:04,234
I must say that it was only because of
my continued confidence in Mr Barton ..
1170
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:06,236
Let me tell you something, Mr Carew.
1171
01:09:07,237 --> 01:09:10,689
Cliff is the greatest we've got but
something happened to him in London.
1172
01:09:10,789 --> 01:09:11,806
I don't know what
1173
01:09:12,323 --> 01:09:16,170
He wasn't supposed to hold back that
proposal. I he never been so distressed.
1174
01:09:17,928 --> 01:09:19,726
I am distressed that he is not here.
1175
01:09:21,190 --> 01:09:22,532
It seems rather unfair.
1176
01:09:22,632 --> 01:09:24,870
It is unfair but frankly
I didn't want him here.
1177
01:09:25,218 --> 01:09:26,889
I wanted to make a clean start with you.
1178
01:09:27,889 --> 01:09:30,017
Whatever happened to him
in London I will never know.
1179
01:09:30,744 --> 01:09:32,754
He seems to have had his
mind on something else.
1180
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:34,386
I'm sorry.
1181
01:09:35,306 --> 01:09:36,281
No, no, sir.
1182
01:09:36,460 --> 01:09:38,757
No telling tales out of school,
but I just had to laugh.
1183
01:09:38,857 --> 01:09:40,259
'His mind on something else'.
1184
01:09:40,359 --> 01:09:42,222
Now that's very acute of you, Mr Salt.
1185
01:09:43,583 --> 01:09:44,799
You know about Mrs Linka?
1186
01:09:45,039 --> 01:09:46,739
I am sorry. I thought you didn't know.
1187
01:09:46,945 --> 01:09:47,753
Chutwell.
1188
01:09:47,980 --> 01:09:49,952
If this is some private
concern of Mr Barton's ..
1189
01:09:50,158 --> 01:09:50,859
Please.
1190
01:09:51,464 --> 01:09:53,400
Have you met Mrs Linka?
- Oh, have I met her?
1191
01:09:53,653 --> 01:09:56,004
Why, any gentleman let us
say, lonely and unattached ..
1192
01:09:56,192 --> 01:09:57,882
Just naturally comes to meet Mrs Linka.
1193
01:09:57,982 --> 01:09:59,101
Chutwell, I forbid ..
1194
01:09:59,201 --> 01:10:03,208
If you excuse me saying so Mr Carew,
since Mr Salt is aware of the situation.
1195
01:10:03,433 --> 01:10:04,620
Well, I am not so aware.
1196
01:10:04,834 --> 01:10:06,037
I refuse to listen to ..
1197
01:10:06,137 --> 01:10:09,032
Your own man is confirming what
I have been trying to find out.
1198
01:10:09,447 --> 01:10:11,504
I know my facts concerning
Mr Barton, sir.
1199
01:10:11,776 --> 01:10:13,720
But he is one thing with
you and another with me.
1200
01:10:14,123 --> 01:10:17,076
And who knows what he is with a woman
who is a commie if ever I saw one.
1201
01:10:17,727 --> 01:10:19,173
Why you ..
- No!
1202
01:10:20,158 --> 01:10:21,832
Mr Carew ..
- I will speak to you later.
1203
01:10:26,281 --> 01:10:27,814
I find this extremely unpleasant.
1204
01:10:30,034 --> 01:10:32,766
Mr Salt, I see no purpose in
extending our conversation.
1205
01:10:34,165 --> 01:10:35,209
You will excuse me.
1206
01:10:37,088 --> 01:10:37,926
Chutwell.
1207
01:11:16,628 --> 01:11:17,500
Good evening.
1208
01:11:30,812 --> 01:11:32,228
Please hold that call, will you.
1209
01:11:33,244 --> 01:11:34,288
Just a few minutes.
1210
01:11:35,121 --> 01:11:35,975
Thank you.
1211
01:11:40,950 --> 01:11:42,541
What was it that told me, Cliff?
1212
01:11:42,748 --> 01:11:44,888
You know I had scarcely read
her name in your letter ..
1213
01:11:44,988 --> 01:11:47,095
Before something told
me what could happen.
1214
01:11:47,377 --> 01:11:48,415
What could happen?
1215
01:11:48,757 --> 01:11:51,321
I sent that letter to the State
Department in good faith.
1216
01:11:52,119 --> 01:11:53,806
Under protest but in good faith.
1217
01:11:54,904 --> 01:11:56,963
You know what I am talking about.
- I do not know.
1218
01:11:57,974 --> 01:11:58,771
Chutwell.
1219
01:11:59,015 --> 01:12:03,334
In Eliot's presence and Carew's presence
has described your Mrs Linka ..
1220
01:12:04,076 --> 01:12:05,507
Somewhat more frankly.
1221
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:10,012
You don't have to tell me what
he said. I am quite sure I know.
1222
01:12:11,242 --> 01:12:13,932
How could you do this to me, Cliff?
- Chutwell lied to you.
1223
01:12:14,524 --> 01:12:17,415
Who in heaven would believe a man like
Chutwell? Carew knows what he's like.
1224
01:12:17,719 --> 01:12:19,884
Carew has cut off all conversation.
1225
01:12:20,771 --> 01:12:22,375
Because of you the deal is off.
1226
01:12:23,336 --> 01:12:25,230
I don't believe it.
- Eliot was there.
1227
01:12:25,598 --> 01:12:26,610
Nobody asked me.
1228
01:12:26,928 --> 01:12:29,689
Nobody so much as picked up a telephone
and called and asked me, is this true.
1229
01:12:30,178 --> 01:12:33,374
When a woman with a
history like hers is called ..
1230
01:12:34,171 --> 01:12:38,007
Both a prostitute and a communist what
can you say? How could you disprove it?
1231
01:12:41,842 --> 01:12:43,801
According to our corporate
by-laws, Cliff ..
1232
01:12:44,033 --> 01:12:48,070
The board of directors must act on
the resignation of the vice chairman.
1233
01:12:48,703 --> 01:12:50,461
I am calling a meeting for Friday.
1234
01:12:51,403 --> 01:12:52,504
I have not resigned.
1235
01:12:53,023 --> 01:12:54,032
But you will.
1236
01:12:54,575 --> 01:12:55,806
And if you don't.
1237
01:12:56,261 --> 01:12:59,799
Do I have any choice but to do my
duty and ask the board of directors ..
1238
01:13:00,026 --> 01:13:02,566
To discharge you and
give them my reasons?
1239
01:13:03,005 --> 01:13:04,447
Literally, destroy you.
1240
01:13:05,889 --> 01:13:07,719
It is beneath you to call this 'duty'.
1241
01:13:08,397 --> 01:13:09,617
I apologise.
1242
01:13:10,482 --> 01:13:11,642
'Duty' is a lie.
1243
01:13:11,921 --> 01:13:14,122
Even I must flatter myself sometimes.
1244
01:13:15,038 --> 01:13:19,091
'Duty' is a pompous illusion implying
choice when there is no choice.
1245
01:13:19,927 --> 01:13:21,725
I am a creature of power.
1246
01:13:22,516 --> 01:13:25,299
I pursue it totally and
I obey it totally.
1247
01:13:26,264 --> 01:13:27,553
You pursue it partially.
1248
01:13:27,852 --> 01:13:30,675
And so you fail, and in failing
you are a threat to me.
1249
01:13:31,368 --> 01:13:33,941
Now. Either resign Cliff,
or I must destroy you.
1250
01:13:35,605 --> 01:13:37,124
I am submitting no resignation.
1251
01:13:37,579 --> 01:13:38,386
Any time.
1252
01:13:39,531 --> 01:13:41,375
Any time between now and Friday.
1253
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:54,562
[ Telephone ]
1254
01:14:05,165 --> 01:14:06,058
Yes?
1255
01:14:07,228 --> 01:14:08,129
Yes. Go ahead.
1256
01:14:09,962 --> 01:14:10,683
Miriam.
1257
01:14:10,883 --> 01:14:13,158
Liebling, I am so stupid.
1258
01:14:13,567 --> 01:14:16,162
There is some little delay
and I sit here trembling.
1259
01:14:16,882 --> 01:14:17,812
It was nothing.
1260
01:14:19,056 --> 01:14:21,482
It was nothing. I am fine.
I am wonderful.
1261
01:14:21,904 --> 01:14:24,721
The best of all possible worlds.
Talk a very long time.
1262
01:14:25,065 --> 01:14:28,183
I will not talk a long time.
It is too expensive.
1263
01:14:28,759 --> 01:14:30,151
I only want to say this.
1264
01:14:30,657 --> 01:14:31,911
That you were right.
1265
01:14:32,332 --> 01:14:35,262
And I have told myself a
thousand times 'no'.
1266
01:14:35,584 --> 01:14:36,981
And now I say 'yes'.
1267
01:14:37,369 --> 01:14:39,720
And I have your money
and I have the visa.
1268
01:14:40,109 --> 01:14:43,158
And I shall see you at that
airport with the funny name.
1269
01:14:43,846 --> 01:14:44,757
I love you.
1270
01:14:46,131 --> 01:14:47,881
I only said I love you.
1271
01:14:49,023 --> 01:14:50,720
Then I shall see you Wednesday.
1272
01:14:52,517 --> 01:14:53,643
Go away, my love.
1273
01:14:54,963 --> 01:14:56,704
Go away. Goodnight.
1274
01:15:14,845 --> 01:15:17,951
If she finds out what is happening she
will take the next plane back to London.
1275
01:15:19,481 --> 01:15:21,909
I feel like somebody had
his hand in my stomach.
1276
01:15:22,297 --> 01:15:23,481
It will be alright.
1277
01:15:24,049 --> 01:15:27,083
I have been handling situations
since before you were born.
1278
01:15:28,725 --> 01:15:31,032
I think I should tell you
in so many words ..
1279
01:15:31,132 --> 01:15:33,457
What it means to
rediscover one's father.
1280
01:15:47,995 --> 01:15:50,321
Okay. Now let's see what you've got.
1281
01:15:57,943 --> 01:15:59,779
So you see, Presbyterian or not.
1282
01:16:00,051 --> 01:16:02,637
Michael Servetus or not and I told
you my father had no hand in it.
1283
01:16:02,936 --> 01:16:03,835
I adore him.
1284
01:16:04,090 --> 01:16:05,653
He'll drop your things by the hotel.
1285
01:16:05,931 --> 01:16:08,752
I just wanted you to see where I live.
To see if meets with your disapproval.
1286
01:16:09,654 --> 01:16:11,818
Miriam, you are so beautiful.
I had forgotten.
1287
01:16:13,413 --> 01:16:16,909
You got off the plane and I remembered
everything except how beautiful you are.
1288
01:16:17,268 --> 01:16:18,284
Cliff, what is it?
1289
01:16:19,046 --> 01:16:19,958
What's what?
1290
01:16:20,508 --> 01:16:24,623
When a man says twice that a woman
is beautiful he is very troubled.
1291
01:16:25,044 --> 01:16:27,822
Or very much bored.
- Now Miriam, that isn't fair.
1292
01:16:28,288 --> 01:16:32,727
Oh Cliff, this being in love.
It is like such a terrible searchlight.
1293
01:16:33,115 --> 01:16:35,259
One sees so much. Too much.
1294
01:16:35,933 --> 01:16:37,464
What is it, darling?
1295
01:16:41,534 --> 01:16:43,520
Whatever it is, we forget it.
1296
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:47,211
This is where you live.
1297
01:16:51,803 --> 01:16:54,851
I expected to find it like in
Hollywood movies, a fishbowl.
1298
01:16:55,501 --> 01:16:56,943
I am sorry. I was ..
1299
01:16:57,919 --> 01:16:59,777
I'm just not used to
being in love like this.
1300
01:17:00,155 --> 01:17:01,725
It's a little hard on the nerves.
1301
01:17:02,584 --> 01:17:03,456
What is this?
1302
01:17:04,286 --> 01:17:05,058
A piano.
1303
01:17:05,772 --> 01:17:06,818
A piano?
1304
01:17:07,325 --> 01:17:08,124
Oh.
1305
01:17:12,953 --> 01:17:14,047
I love you.
1306
01:17:14,761 --> 01:17:19,019
There is nothing else I suppose
to say, for all I want is you.
1307
01:17:19,352 --> 01:17:21,943
And twelve crazy American children.
1308
01:17:22,187 --> 01:17:24,283
And what happens to
Mrs Linka? Who cares?
1309
01:17:26,175 --> 01:17:28,456
I was walking past Rockefeller
Center this morning.
1310
01:17:28,862 --> 01:17:30,393
And I almost came up to your office.
1311
01:17:31,746 --> 01:17:32,753
Here?
- Uhuh.
1312
01:17:33,132 --> 01:17:35,596
But I didn't of course.
It wouldn't be proper.
1313
01:17:41,225 --> 01:17:43,053
Well, look who is here.
1314
01:17:44,645 --> 01:17:45,666
Miriam, it is ..
1315
01:17:45,876 --> 01:17:48,518
It's too crowded here.
- No. It is enchanting.
1316
01:17:49,316 --> 01:17:50,762
It is so American.
1317
01:17:51,716 --> 01:17:53,419
I can see everybody's feet.
1318
01:17:53,701 --> 01:17:56,002
They can see mine. I love this.
1319
01:17:56,984 --> 01:17:58,793
Who is that man over
there staring at you?
1320
01:17:59,573 --> 01:18:01,481
Slocum. Dan Slocum.
1321
01:18:01,758 --> 01:18:03,282
You know everybody, don't you.
1322
01:18:03,688 --> 01:18:06,514
He looks awful. Who is he?
- He is a competitor.
1323
01:18:06,745 --> 01:18:09,226
Oh. That is why he makes
you look so grumpy.
1324
01:18:09,739 --> 01:18:12,386
Cliff, I adore America already.
1325
01:18:13,070 --> 01:18:15,043
Do you know the other man?
He looks so British.
1326
01:18:15,676 --> 01:18:17,324
I used to know him quite well.
1327
01:18:18,166 --> 01:18:19,899
Just what happened over at Amalgamated?
1328
01:18:20,384 --> 01:18:23,707
I really know nothing about it.
- Come on, you can tell me.
1329
01:18:24,066 --> 01:18:25,799
It was your deal he lost.
- Who?
1330
01:18:26,589 --> 01:18:28,002
Mr hot-shot. Cliff Barton.
1331
01:18:29,084 --> 01:18:31,558
My reasons for ending
negotiations with Amalgamated ..
1332
01:18:31,658 --> 01:18:33,332
Had nothing to do with Mr Barton.
1333
01:18:34,164 --> 01:18:35,122
Are you kidding?
1334
01:18:35,553 --> 01:18:37,599
They're having a board of
directors meeting tomorrow.
1335
01:18:37,849 --> 01:18:39,980
I understand they're going to
give him the old heave-ho.
1336
01:18:40,206 --> 01:18:41,016
What?
1337
01:18:41,792 --> 01:18:43,234
Come on. Let's have some fun.
1338
01:18:45,530 --> 01:18:47,783
Darling, what is it?
- Nothing at all.
1339
01:18:49,868 --> 01:18:51,214
Dan.
- Hi.
1340
01:18:51,642 --> 01:18:53,339
Mr Slocum, Mr Carew - Mrs Linka.
1341
01:18:53,715 --> 01:18:54,938
Mrs Linka.
1342
01:18:55,257 --> 01:18:56,876
How goes it, Cliff?
- Well enough.
1343
01:18:57,298 --> 01:19:00,454
I hear you are having a board
of directors meeting tomorrow.
1344
01:19:01,130 --> 01:19:02,972
Anything special?
- Not that I know of.
1345
01:19:04,213 --> 01:19:05,429
That is not what I heard.
1346
01:19:07,293 --> 01:19:08,452
See you around old boy.
1347
01:19:08,925 --> 01:19:10,050
Mrs Linka.
1348
01:19:12,279 --> 01:19:13,118
Cigars?
1349
01:19:13,666 --> 01:19:16,591
Will you call me please at Regency
House. I am going there at once.
1350
01:19:17,514 --> 01:19:18,708
Mrs Linka.
1351
01:19:23,148 --> 01:19:24,630
How about a cigar?
1352
01:19:29,070 --> 01:19:32,059
It was Mr Carew you were
seeing in London wasn't it?
1353
01:19:32,676 --> 01:19:36,276
Or that you should have seen in London
but instead you were always seeing me.
1354
01:19:36,989 --> 01:19:39,506
And now it is for Mr Slocum
who is your competitor ..
1355
01:19:39,606 --> 01:19:42,456
That Mr Carew gets all the
attention he didn't get from you.
1356
01:19:42,811 --> 01:19:45,384
Miriam, nothing of the sort.
- There is something, Tell me.
1357
01:19:45,612 --> 01:19:46,810
Darling, believe me.
1358
01:19:47,797 --> 01:19:50,092
Mr Chutwell's comment
was bad enough, Mr Barton.
1359
01:19:50,951 --> 01:19:54,778
But that Mr Salt should have interpreted
my actions as a reflection on you.
1360
01:19:56,592 --> 01:19:58,944
What are you going to do?
You cannot resign.
1361
01:19:59,642 --> 01:20:00,915
You've met Mrs Linka.
1362
01:20:01,547 --> 01:20:02,723
It is abominable.
1363
01:20:03,265 --> 01:20:04,624
You will have to believe this.
1364
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,595
Whether I lose out at Amalgamated
no longer concerns me.
1365
01:20:07,826 --> 01:20:09,700
Only, I have to lose everything.
1366
01:20:10,055 --> 01:20:11,893
Mrs Linka doesn't know?
- Not yet.
1367
01:20:12,970 --> 01:20:13,997
Mr Barton.
1368
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:16,245
Will you go to Mr Guy Eliot today.
1369
01:20:16,812 --> 01:20:19,016
Now. And tell him all
that I have told you.
1370
01:20:19,779 --> 01:20:20,957
Tell him also.
1371
01:20:21,542 --> 01:20:24,565
That I have made no commitments
regarding our West African concessions.
1372
01:20:24,842 --> 01:20:26,849
Either to Mr Slocum or to anybody else.
1373
01:20:27,515 --> 01:20:28,841
Nor do I intend to.
1374
01:20:29,487 --> 01:20:31,475
Until I have learnt what
is going to happen to you.
1375
01:20:35,622 --> 01:20:37,351
Let me out here, driver.
- Yes, sir.
1376
01:20:47,099 --> 01:20:48,989
Sorry you had to wait so long.
- Alright, sir.
1377
01:20:49,262 --> 01:20:51,865
Glad you came by. I want to talk to you.
- I've been seeing Carew.
1378
01:20:51,965 --> 01:20:55,118
I didn't like the way George
handled things the other night.
1379
01:20:56,226 --> 01:20:58,688
He lied about you, I am reasonably sure.
1380
01:21:00,008 --> 01:21:03,173
It wasn't your idea was it,
holding back on the control proposal?
1381
01:21:03,983 --> 01:21:04,693
No.
1382
01:21:05,303 --> 01:21:06,397
He said it was.
1383
01:21:07,558 --> 01:21:09,328
Well, I have nothing against lying.
1384
01:21:10,038 --> 01:21:11,082
I lie all the time.
1385
01:21:12,273 --> 01:21:14,424
But you could see that
Carew didn't believe him.
1386
01:21:14,924 --> 01:21:16,906
And old George was just losing ground.
1387
01:21:18,159 --> 01:21:19,861
There were a lot of
things I didn't like.
1388
01:21:20,688 --> 01:21:22,018
We should have had you there.
1389
01:21:22,817 --> 01:21:24,695
A bad affect on a man like Carew.
1390
01:21:25,545 --> 01:21:26,900
Besides, it is weak.
1391
01:21:27,754 --> 01:21:28,547
Very weak.
1392
01:21:29,695 --> 01:21:32,617
In my opinion you should have been
given a free hand with Carew.
1393
01:21:33,649 --> 01:21:35,122
This way we come out with nothing.
1394
01:21:35,514 --> 01:21:37,204
A bad financial loss.
1395
01:21:37,710 --> 01:21:40,713
And I have an extreme prejudice
against bad financial losses.
1396
01:21:41,316 --> 01:21:42,669
Carew asked me to tell you ..
1397
01:21:42,769 --> 01:21:44,665
I'm sure you could
deliver Carew tomorrow.
1398
01:21:45,541 --> 01:21:47,072
Now we have a couple of problems.
1399
01:21:48,303 --> 01:21:50,266
George is a stubborn old goat.
1400
01:21:51,131 --> 01:21:52,481
He is still chairman.
1401
01:21:53,293 --> 01:21:54,351
Today anyway.
1402
01:21:55,844 --> 01:21:56,886
Say that again.
1403
01:21:57,818 --> 01:22:00,342
Look Barton, anything
can happen tomorrow.
1404
01:22:00,785 --> 01:22:02,384
Anything. You understand?
1405
01:22:02,815 --> 01:22:04,089
I understand.
1406
01:22:04,513 --> 01:22:05,267
Alright.
1407
01:22:05,943 --> 01:22:07,073
Now the other problem.
1408
01:22:08,217 --> 01:22:10,213
I am going to ask you two questions.
1409
01:22:12,198 --> 01:22:14,346
This woman George tells
me you want to marry.
1410
01:22:15,574 --> 01:22:18,136
Are you satisfied there's
nothing subversive about her?
1411
01:22:18,335 --> 01:22:20,423
She's never been a communist
or anything like that?
1412
01:22:20,979 --> 01:22:21,995
I am so satisfied.
1413
01:22:22,444 --> 01:22:23,867
Have you investigated her?
1414
01:22:25,217 --> 01:22:26,032
I have not.
1415
01:22:28,347 --> 01:22:29,162
That's all.
1416
01:22:41,456 --> 01:22:43,419
Mrs Linka. Mrs Miriam Linka please.
1417
01:22:43,718 --> 01:22:45,181
1219.
- Thank you.
1418
01:22:52,649 --> 01:22:53,902
Mrs Salt, I am ..
1419
01:22:54,224 --> 01:22:57,840
A devious, ruthless and
quite untrustworthy woman.
1420
01:22:58,483 --> 01:23:01,368
When I say on the telephone:
'Come. We shall talk about refugees'.
1421
01:23:01,923 --> 01:23:03,433
I am lying in my teeth.
1422
01:23:03,731 --> 01:23:05,647
I did not intend that we
talk about refugees.
1423
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:08,289
Neither did I.
1424
01:23:10,978 --> 01:23:11,826
What is it?
1425
01:23:13,010 --> 01:23:13,697
Cliff?
1426
01:23:14,249 --> 01:23:15,392
Mrs Salt, what is it?
1427
01:23:15,757 --> 01:23:16,687
You don't know?
1428
01:23:17,288 --> 01:23:19,608
You don't know about the
accusations brought against you?
1429
01:23:21,358 --> 01:23:22,717
Accusations?
1430
01:23:25,296 --> 01:23:26,854
Mrs Linka, I came here ..
1431
01:23:27,358 --> 01:23:29,411
To ask that you insist he resign.
1432
01:23:30,553 --> 01:23:32,935
Don't you know that Mr Salt
asked for his resignation?
1433
01:23:34,854 --> 01:23:35,741
I did not.
1434
01:23:36,279 --> 01:23:37,025
I am ..
1435
01:23:37,125 --> 01:23:37,974
Mrs Salt ..
1436
01:23:38,180 --> 01:23:40,180
I don't intend to repeat
the accusations.
1437
01:23:40,735 --> 01:23:43,452
They are of a nature both
political and moral.
1438
01:23:44,616 --> 01:23:47,660
I don't consider them responsible
myself but they needn't be these days.
1439
01:23:47,881 --> 01:23:48,818
Mrs Salt.
1440
01:23:49,057 --> 01:23:51,852
Besides that, the circumstances of
your life make it quite impossible ..
1441
01:23:51,952 --> 01:23:53,310
For you to answer the charges.
1442
01:23:54,274 --> 01:23:55,805
So their nature is of no importance.
1443
01:23:56,471 --> 01:23:59,133
I do not believe you and
I will not believe you.
1444
01:24:01,506 --> 01:24:02,517
I told you.
1445
01:24:03,752 --> 01:24:06,070
Mr Salt has requested
Cliff's resignation.
1446
01:24:07,135 --> 01:24:08,783
He hadn't received it at noon today.
1447
01:24:10,148 --> 01:24:12,743
If Mr Salt does not receive
his resignation tomorrow ..
1448
01:24:12,843 --> 01:24:14,462
That will be all for cliff.
1449
01:24:15,572 --> 01:24:16,483
And for you.
1450
01:24:17,825 --> 01:24:19,117
How I admire Cliff.
1451
01:24:19,744 --> 01:24:21,265
How he has not told you.
1452
01:24:22,516 --> 01:24:24,038
How much he must love you.
1453
01:24:26,297 --> 01:24:28,219
Take him. Make him resign.
1454
01:24:29,095 --> 01:24:31,427
Get him out of New York.
Out of great business.
1455
01:24:31,782 --> 01:24:34,011
Out of this society of power.
1456
01:24:34,787 --> 01:24:37,859
Take him away while you are still
beautiful and young together.
1457
01:24:38,735 --> 01:24:41,818
Take him to some neglected
corner of the earth where ..
1458
01:24:42,428 --> 01:24:44,366
Private values still have some meaning.
1459
01:24:44,699 --> 01:24:45,564
Mrs Salt.
1460
01:24:46,251 --> 01:24:48,442
There is no private life. Not here.
1461
01:24:48,750 --> 01:24:50,023
Not for a man that matters.
1462
01:24:50,957 --> 01:24:53,342
No love, no inward rightness.
1463
01:24:53,941 --> 01:24:57,472
There is only public relations
and public necessities.
1464
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:01,400
I married a man whom
I loved very deeply.
1465
01:25:01,655 --> 01:25:03,529
And who I believed loved me.
1466
01:25:04,916 --> 01:25:06,892
Now we are just two old stone lions.
1467
01:25:07,141 --> 01:25:09,361
Staring into eternity
on the library steps.
1468
01:25:09,825 --> 01:25:10,724
My god.
1469
01:25:11,367 --> 01:25:13,634
I have substituted charities for love.
1470
01:25:14,566 --> 01:25:16,027
Meetings for marriage.
1471
01:25:16,806 --> 01:25:20,942
I have built great organisations on the
sound foundation of utter loneliness.
1472
01:25:22,836 --> 01:25:24,536
Take him. Make him resign.
1473
01:25:25,003 --> 01:25:26,164
If you love him.
1474
01:25:27,775 --> 01:25:29,883
How terribly you must love him still.
1475
01:25:31,796 --> 01:25:32,871
I didn't ..
1476
01:25:34,413 --> 01:25:36,406
I was speaking for your sake. That is ..
1477
01:25:37,266 --> 01:25:39,484
Why I was so grateful when
you called this morning.
1478
01:25:40,239 --> 01:25:43,672
You would not speak aloud
such prideful, private things ..
1479
01:25:43,916 --> 01:25:47,798
For the sake of some strange
Mrs Linka whom you have never met.
1480
01:25:48,253 --> 01:25:49,358
Or for even Cliff.
1481
01:25:49,866 --> 01:25:50,452
No.
1482
01:25:51,330 --> 01:25:52,739
You are afraid that ..
1483
01:25:53,238 --> 01:25:54,391
Cliff will fight.
1484
01:25:54,912 --> 01:25:56,676
You are in fear for your husband.
1485
01:25:57,053 --> 01:25:58,813
Who else would you so protect?
1486
01:26:00,203 --> 01:26:01,979
But it is so fine of you.
1487
01:26:10,561 --> 01:26:11,548
Mrs Salt.
1488
01:26:12,346 --> 01:26:13,246
I love Cliff.
1489
01:26:13,954 --> 01:26:15,187
And if he can win ..
1490
01:26:15,675 --> 01:26:17,625
How can I tell him?
- He can't win.
1491
01:26:17,833 --> 01:26:20,106
He's destroyed himself
already by his love for you.
1492
01:26:20,373 --> 01:26:22,225
He may not know it. He is young.
1493
01:26:22,557 --> 01:26:23,853
My husband is not.
1494
01:26:24,562 --> 01:26:26,293
He has to do this thing
to Cliff tomorrow.
1495
01:26:27,077 --> 01:26:28,552
I believe it will kill him.
1496
01:26:29,484 --> 01:26:30,671
You see, he loves Cliff.
1497
01:26:32,029 --> 01:26:33,594
He loves no-one else on earth.
1498
01:26:47,883 --> 01:26:51,375
I wonder. I've tried to reach Mrs Linka
on the house phone since 5 o'clock.
1499
01:26:51,631 --> 01:26:53,261
You haven't seen her?
- No, sir.
1500
01:26:53,793 --> 01:26:56,785
She was up there around 3:30
when a Mrs George Salt came.
1501
01:27:01,367 --> 01:27:04,505
I am sorry Mr Barton by we have
no Mrs Linka on tonight's plane.
1502
01:27:06,003 --> 01:27:07,245
No. Nor tomorrow.
1503
01:27:08,576 --> 01:27:09,248
Cliff.
1504
01:27:09,537 --> 01:27:12,252
Why don't you go back to your
apartment and get some rest.
1505
01:27:12,686 --> 01:27:14,638
I don't need any rest. I will ..
1506
01:27:16,262 --> 01:27:17,478
I'm sorry, dad. I will ..
1507
01:27:18,153 --> 01:27:19,661
I'll make a few more calls.
1508
01:28:23,398 --> 01:28:25,483
I thought I was too late.
You saw Mrs Salt.
1509
01:28:26,126 --> 01:28:27,211
I saw Mrs Salt.
1510
01:28:28,017 --> 01:28:30,234
You'll be glad to know then
that I resigned this afternoon.
1511
01:28:30,368 --> 01:28:31,555
I am out of Amalgamated.
1512
01:28:32,464 --> 01:28:35,226
You won't have to worry about being
married to an American businessman.
1513
01:28:36,667 --> 01:28:38,226
We'll leave for London in a few days.
1514
01:28:39,736 --> 01:28:41,839
I am only sorry about
the piano if you like it.
1515
01:28:42,117 --> 01:28:43,615
It's a little big to take along.
1516
01:28:44,301 --> 01:28:46,686
If anybody is going to
leave for London ..
1517
01:28:47,451 --> 01:28:49,774
It is I .. and I will go alone.
1518
01:28:51,094 --> 01:28:54,100
You don't seem to understand that
I am in love with your country.
1519
01:28:54,420 --> 01:28:55,862
Perhaps more than any of you.
1520
01:28:56,272 --> 01:28:58,169
But you Mrs Salt. Didn't she tell you?
1521
01:28:58,827 --> 01:29:03,241
It's not easy to horrify a woman who has
seen residence in concentration camps.
1522
01:29:04,139 --> 01:29:06,353
I am still in love with your country.
1523
01:29:07,305 --> 01:29:08,787
Well, we are leaving.
1524
01:29:09,912 --> 01:29:11,250
In one family, Cliff.
1525
01:29:11,958 --> 01:29:14,083
There is room for only one refugee.
1526
01:29:14,476 --> 01:29:15,406
Oh, Cliff.
1527
01:29:15,951 --> 01:29:18,417
I have run. I have run and run.
1528
01:29:18,692 --> 01:29:22,452
And but for the grace of god and
you I would be running still.
1529
01:29:23,450 --> 01:29:24,233
No.
1530
01:29:24,707 --> 01:29:26,249
There can't be two refugees.
1531
01:29:26,648 --> 01:29:28,012
Not in one family.
1532
01:29:28,461 --> 01:29:29,720
You mustn't run.
1533
01:29:30,258 --> 01:29:31,395
You mustn't.
1534
01:29:38,024 --> 01:29:40,719
I will read his letter of
resignation and ask for a motion.
1535
01:29:41,341 --> 01:29:44,015
It is just possible that some of those
jokers may start raising the game.
1536
01:29:44,702 --> 01:29:46,578
Then you make a motion of acceptance.
1537
01:29:48,561 --> 01:29:49,634
That will hold them.
1538
01:30:07,534 --> 01:30:08,229
Cliff.
1539
01:30:09,049 --> 01:30:10,003
Shall we go in?
1540
01:30:10,247 --> 01:30:13,663
Just what I was telling you, Guy.
The deceiving, the going behind my back.
1541
01:30:14,497 --> 01:30:16,581
You gave me that
resignation yesterday ..
1542
01:30:16,681 --> 01:30:19,504
Even though you knew that today, five
minutes before we're to go in there ..
1543
01:30:19,681 --> 01:30:20,611
I did not know.
1544
01:30:22,152 --> 01:30:23,879
My father predicted this, Mr Salt.
1545
01:30:24,267 --> 01:30:26,483
That I would start out wanting
a wife of my choice.
1546
01:30:26,727 --> 01:30:28,596
In the end it would take a crusade.
1547
01:30:29,340 --> 01:30:31,190
It's a hard choice.
It has taken me this long.
1548
01:30:31,290 --> 01:30:33,324
Do you know what I'll do
to you because I have to?
1549
01:30:33,424 --> 01:30:34,522
Because I have to.
1550
01:30:35,341 --> 01:30:36,145
Mr Salt.
1551
01:30:36,245 --> 01:30:39,281
I don't believe you run Amalgamated
in the company's best interests.
1552
01:30:39,652 --> 01:30:41,384
You are losing me. You have lost Carew.
1553
01:30:41,582 --> 01:30:44,061
I did not lose Carew.
- George. Do you mind?
1554
01:30:44,267 --> 01:30:45,629
I'll demonstrate that you did.
1555
01:30:46,305 --> 01:30:50,014
I'll demonstrate that when power
comes to exist for itself alone it ..
1556
01:30:50,446 --> 01:30:51,854
Becomes a losing proposition.
1557
01:30:52,388 --> 01:30:56,027
That when you leave no room for
men, your enemies or your friends ..
1558
01:30:56,895 --> 01:31:00,012
When you can no longer recognise
the dignity of plain human beings ..
1559
01:31:00,112 --> 01:31:02,157
It's because you are weak
not because you are strong.
1560
01:31:02,979 --> 01:31:05,179
I will attack you Mr Salt
because I must.
1561
01:31:05,901 --> 01:31:09,145
We do what we must do
despite all consequences ..
1562
01:31:09,323 --> 01:31:11,205
And in that you are right
and in nothing else.
1563
01:31:11,699 --> 01:31:14,339
It is total power, not duty
that is the world's illusion.
1564
01:31:18,966 --> 01:31:19,914
Shall we go in?
1565
01:31:21,351 --> 01:31:22,046
Cliff.
1566
01:31:23,567 --> 01:31:26,462
I am going to ask you in there
what I asked you yesterday.
1567
01:31:27,344 --> 01:31:28,846
That is why you resigned, isn't it?
1568
01:31:30,612 --> 01:31:32,228
This woman that you are going to marry.
1569
01:31:32,512 --> 01:31:35,174
Are you satisfied there is
nothing subversive about her?
1570
01:31:36,370 --> 01:31:37,386
I am so satisfied.
1571
01:31:38,578 --> 01:31:40,438
Have you investigated her?
- I have not.
1572
01:31:41,540 --> 01:31:42,508
Well, I have.
1573
01:31:43,747 --> 01:31:44,878
I got this yesterday.
1574
01:31:46,123 --> 01:31:50,229
The army kept a file on her ever since
she left a certain concentration camp.
1575
01:31:50,496 --> 01:31:52,149
Read your file to somebody else.
1576
01:31:52,797 --> 01:31:55,229
I am marrying a woman,
not a set of statistics.
1577
01:31:55,867 --> 01:31:59,638
Go and total your indecent little 2s and
2s Mr Eliot and prove whatever you like.
1578
01:32:00,097 --> 01:32:01,403
But this is a woman I love.
1579
01:32:01,503 --> 01:32:03,938
And there is no arithmetic this
side of heaven I will listen to.
1580
01:32:05,079 --> 01:32:06,855
You will excuse me.
- You will listen.
1581
01:32:08,818 --> 01:32:11,400
Because I don't like what I am
doing any more than you do.
1582
01:32:12,414 --> 01:32:15,322
And because I am not trying to
prove anything about Mrs Linka.
1583
01:32:16,106 --> 01:32:17,846
I am proving something about you.
1584
01:32:19,914 --> 01:32:22,855
I am not to going to read all this.
It is too almighty long.
1585
01:32:24,806 --> 01:32:26,982
When she came back to Vienna,
she didn't have a nickel.
1586
01:32:27,930 --> 01:32:28,802
Husband dead.
1587
01:32:29,038 --> 01:32:31,327
She took a job in some
nightclub playing the piano.
1588
01:32:32,653 --> 01:32:36,132
She was supposed to
'entertain' our officers.
1589
01:32:37,691 --> 01:32:38,903
She wouldn't. She quit.
1590
01:32:41,417 --> 01:32:42,719
The Russians heard about it.
1591
01:32:43,094 --> 01:32:45,944
And offered her big money to go
back and work with our fellows.
1592
01:32:46,568 --> 01:32:48,888
No entertaining. Just conversation.
1593
01:32:50,540 --> 01:32:52,342
And report back to them what she heard.
1594
01:32:54,065 --> 01:32:55,563
She wouldn't be bought.
1595
01:32:57,577 --> 01:33:01,151
She reported back to our side
and we said: fine, take the job.
1596
01:33:02,143 --> 01:33:05,145
We'll double the money and you
tell us what the Russians say.
1597
01:33:08,093 --> 01:33:10,008
She told us where we could go.
1598
01:33:17,627 --> 01:33:20,325
George, it isn't that you've
made a fool of yourself.
1599
01:33:21,424 --> 01:33:22,959
That has got nothing to do with it.
1600
01:33:23,522 --> 01:33:26,034
It is that I asked this fellow twice.
1601
01:33:26,513 --> 01:33:27,909
If he had investigated her.
1602
01:33:28,211 --> 01:33:30,727
And twice, knowing what
it would mean if he said no.
1603
01:33:31,375 --> 01:33:33,754
Twice. Just the same,
that's what he said: No.
1604
01:33:35,272 --> 01:33:38,028
And I used to think you would sell
your grandmother to get ahead.
1605
01:33:39,060 --> 01:33:40,705
Well, I would like it understood that ..
1606
01:33:41,004 --> 01:33:44,284
If the board fails to act on his
resignation then it must act on mine.
1607
01:33:44,641 --> 01:33:47,721
That is fine, George. Because I'd
like to see him have your job.
1608
01:33:49,514 --> 01:33:51,045
George, I want to ask you something.
1609
01:33:51,654 --> 01:33:52,498
Your system.
1610
01:33:53,571 --> 01:33:56,139
How is it going to turn out
anything but vice presidents?
1611
01:33:56,780 --> 01:33:58,429
Fellows who look alike, think alike.
1612
01:33:59,062 --> 01:34:00,953
Afraid of their jobs. Never say no.
1613
01:34:01,737 --> 01:34:03,577
Where are the presidents coming from?
1614
01:34:04,019 --> 01:34:06,135
Fellows who say what the
think and mean what they say.
1615
01:34:06,235 --> 01:34:07,508
Where are they coming from?
1616
01:34:08,310 --> 01:34:10,285
Out of a race of vice presidents?
1617
01:34:11,578 --> 01:34:13,078
I hate to say this to you, George.
1618
01:34:13,594 --> 01:34:14,610
But you've had it.
1619
01:34:15,754 --> 01:34:16,798
We need a chairman.
1620
01:34:17,283 --> 01:34:18,582
We've got one right here.
1621
01:34:19,819 --> 01:34:21,481
Are we going to let him get away?
1622
01:34:23,950 --> 01:34:24,954
Let's go in.
1623
01:34:45,064 --> 01:34:46,575
For reasons of health, gentlemen ..
1624
01:34:46,675 --> 01:34:49,787
I must ask you to accept my
resignation as your chairman.
1625
01:34:52,979 --> 01:34:54,363
The time comes for all of us.
1626
01:34:55,970 --> 01:34:57,071
With your approval ..
1627
01:34:57,453 --> 01:34:58,383
I propose.
1628
01:34:58,865 --> 01:35:00,633
As my successor, your Vice Chairman.
1629
01:35:00,852 --> 01:35:01,908
Mister Barton.
1630
01:35:03,985 --> 01:35:05,113
I ask for a motion.
1631
01:35:05,592 --> 01:35:06,350
So moved.
1632
01:35:06,785 --> 01:35:07,611
Seconded.
1633
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:10,362
Who is in favor?
- Aye.
1634
01:35:11,818 --> 01:35:12,608
Opposed?
1635
01:35:15,065 --> 01:35:16,195
The motion is carried.
1636
01:35:18,052 --> 01:35:20,085
Thank you, gentlemen. That is all.
1637
01:35:22,802 --> 01:35:24,161
Congratulations, Cliff.
1638
01:35:29,693 --> 01:35:30,904
Walk out with me, Cliff.
1639
01:35:31,853 --> 01:35:33,280
Keep up appearances.
1640
01:35:45,487 --> 01:35:46,845
Congratulations, Cliff.
1641
01:35:48,238 --> 01:35:48,910
Cliff.
1642
01:35:53,815 --> 01:35:55,350
Would you like your car, Mr Salt?
1643
01:35:57,762 --> 01:35:59,086
[ Whistle ]
1644
01:36:02,789 --> 01:36:06,488
I always knew that someday you would
do something to show me who is boss.
1645
01:36:07,343 --> 01:36:08,779
You sure did it, didn't you.
1646
01:36:10,521 --> 01:36:14,845
Now you must sit up there with yourself,
taking the rap and deciding what's what.
1647
01:36:15,740 --> 01:36:16,584
And someday.
1648
01:36:17,368 --> 01:36:20,779
Someone will come along and show you who
is the boss, and then you'll be like me.
1649
01:36:22,006 --> 01:36:24,255
You'll be wondering what did
I do that was wrong and ..
1650
01:36:26,335 --> 01:36:27,302
Where do I go ..
1651
01:36:28,100 --> 01:36:29,020
From here?
1652
01:36:32,491 --> 01:36:33,948
Here you are, Mr Salt.
1653
01:36:38,196 --> 01:36:39,051
George.
1654
01:36:59,510 --> 01:37:01,126
Goodbye, sir.
- Goodbye and good luck.
1655
01:37:01,645 --> 01:37:03,899
I've chartered this plane.
We're back the first of the week.
1656
01:37:04,077 --> 01:37:05,542
Goodbye.
- This won't take long.
1657
01:37:05,748 --> 01:37:06,537
Oh, you!
1658
01:37:10,668 --> 01:37:11,926
By the first of the week?
1659
01:37:12,104 --> 01:37:14,581
By the time I am done with
you they will be citizens.
1660
01:37:18,666 --> 01:37:19,454
0h, no!
1661
01:37:20,187 --> 01:37:21,163
A piano.
1662
01:37:21,473 --> 01:37:22,928
You did it, you did it!
1663
01:37:56,582 --> 01:37:57,295
