12. As you can see.Copy !req
13. One of the worst in that city's history.Copy !req
14. They have not been too lucky,
actually, in the Midwest.Copy !req
15. As soon as they dig out,
another storm heads their wayCopy !req
16. and there is one out west
that might be hitting them very soon.Copy !req
17. We've been very lucky that way.
Every time it snows...Copy !req

99. Mr. Chance, I'm very pleased to meet you.Copy !req
100. Yes.Copy !req
101. Yes.Copy !req
102. We're with Franklin, Jennings and Roberts.Copy !req
103. The law firm handling the estate?Copy !req
104. Yes, Thomas, I understand.Copy !req
105. So what I'm talking about

An appointment?Copy !req
107. - I thought, what am I gonna do?
- Yes.Copy !req
108. Louise will bring me my lunch.Copy !req
109. Who's gonna date me now?Copy !req
110. All kidding aside, Mr. Chance,
may I ask just what you're doing here?Copy !req
111. - I live here.
- She must know a lot about everything.Copy !req
112. There is no mention of a gardener.Copy !req
113. In fact, according to our inventories,Copy !req
114. there hasn't been a man
employed here since 1933.Copy !req
115. Except for a Mr. Joe Saracini,Copy !req
116. a brick mason
who did some repairs to a wall.Copy !req
117. He was here
for two and a half days in 1952.Copy !req
118. Yes.Copy !req
119. I remember Joe.Copy !req
120. He was very fat,Copy !req
121. had short hairCopy !req
122. and showed me pictures
from a funny little book.Copy !req
123. - Some pictures?
- Yes.Copy !req
124. Of men and women.Copy !req
125. Just how long have you been
living here, Mr. Chance?Copy !req
126. Ever since I can remember.Copy !req
127. Ever since I was a child
I've worked in this garden.Copy !req
128. Then you really are a gardener?Copy !req
129. My roses.Copy !req
130. We will need some proof
of your having resided here, Mr. Chance.Copy !req
131. You have me.Copy !req
132. - I'm here.Copy !req
133. That's where Joe fixed the wall.Copy !req
134. Are you related to the deceased,
Mr. Chance?Copy !req
135. I don't think so.Copy !req
136. My.Copy !req
137. That's a nice car.
Do you drive it, Mr. Chance?Copy !req
138. I've never been in an automobile.Copy !req
139. - You've never been in a car?
- No.Copy !req
140. I've never been allowed
outside of the house.Copy !req
141. You can call me Ray,
or you can call me Jay,Copy !req
142. - or you can call me...
- I used to listen to the radio.Copy !req
143. Then the old man
started giving me television sets.Copy !req
144. This one has a remote control.Copy !req
145. Maybe there's another
gum machine someplace.Copy !req
146. You see? This is my bed.Copy !req
147. This is my bathroom.Copy !req
148. - This is my sink.Copy !req
149. This is my toilet.Copy !req
150. - This is my bathtub.Copy !req
151. Here is my closet.Copy !req
152. No. May I see your tickets?Copy !req
153. You have a very handsome wardrobe,
Mr. Chance.Copy !req
154. Yes.Copy !req
155. I'm allowed to go to the attic
and wear any of the old man's clothes.Copy !req
156. - They fit me very well, don't they?
- Yes.Copy !req
157. It's amazing how those clothes
have come back into style.Copy !req
158. Why is the bed like this?Copy !req
159. I-I-I like to sleep
with my head facing the north.Copy !req
160. I sleep better that way.Copy !req
161. Yes, I've heard about that.Copy !req
162. Could you show us something
with your address?Copy !req
163. But this is facing west.Copy !req
164. - What is facing west?
- The bed.Copy !req
165. Is this airline safe?Copy !req
166. Madam, we're very proud
of our safety record.Copy !req
167. We haven't had one accident
since we started flying.Copy !req
168. I see.Copy !req
169. - When was that?
- Last week.Copy !req
170. Mr. Chance, I would like to know
what sort of claim you're planning to makeCopy !req
171. against the deceased's estate.Copy !req
172. - Ready to take off?
- Take off what?Copy !req
173. The plane. To Washington.Copy !req
174. Is that where you're going?Copy !req
175. The garden is a healthy one, Thomas.Copy !req
176. I-I... I-I have no...Copy !req
177. claim.Copy !req
178. I see. Would you be willing
to sign a paper to that effect?Copy !req
179. You're the whole group?Copy !req
180. I don't know how to sign, Thomas.Copy !req
181. Just a ding-a-ling
and a pig that thinks he's the Red Baron?Copy !req
182. Sure!Copy !req
183. Very well, Mr. Chance.Copy !req
184. I have no alternative but to inform you
that this house is now closed.Copy !req
185. If indeed you have resided here,
you have no legal right to remain.Copy !req
186. You'll have to move out
by, let's say, noon tomorrow.Copy !req
187. I don't understand "move out."Copy !req
188. Call me, or have your attorney call meCopy !req
189. if you change your mind about signing.Copy !req
190. Flicker wraps
every blade with a hair-thin wire...Copy !req
191. Come on, Sally, let's grab a bite.Copy !req
192. for a very close shave
without nicks and cuts.Copy !req
193. What about medical records?Copy !req
194. Could you give us the name
of your doctor or dentist?Copy !req
195. I have no doctor or dentist.Copy !req
196. Did you know that Mounds
have no artificial ingredients?Copy !req

With no artificial ingredients.Copy !req
204. Every day of the week
you're doing new things,Copy !req
205. and every day there's a new
Washington Post to help.Copy !req
206. Here's how my teleporter teleports.Copy !req
207. First I break up your moleculars.Copy !req
208. Pardon me for intruding at a time like this,
but were you very close to Max?Copy !req
209. Are you kidding? We were inseparable.Copy !req
210. — Max!Copy !req
211. Joggers knee and swimmer's...Copy !req
212. We have tennis elbow,
joggers knee and simmers ̶Copy !req
213. Rather ̶ "Simmers. "Copy !req
214. And swimmer's what?Copy !req
215. I'm sorry. All I can think of is trunks.Copy !req
216. Let's see. Swimmer's...Copy !req
217. - Tennis elbow, joggers knee and...Copy !req
218. Jim's back was broken in three places,Copy !req
219. his skull was fractured
and his chest crushed.Copy !req
220. He's a paraplegic,
but after a year in a hospitalCopy !req
221. he went back to school,
got his Masters degreeCopy !req
222. and now looks to the future.Copy !req
223. You get depressed
and, you know, this kind of thing.Copy !req
224. And it's momentary.
It usually hits at night. But, uh...Copy !req
225. - Damn, man!Copy !req
226. Excuse me.Copy !req
227. I'm very hungry.
Could you give me some lunch?Copy !req
228. It's an all-girl show, sir!

229. Come right in!
It's an all-girl show, sir! Come right in!Copy !req
230. It starts right now! Come right in, sir!Copy !req
231. Excuse me.Copy !req
232. Could you please tell me
where I can find a garden to work in?Copy !req
233. A garden? What you growin', man?Copy !req
234. There is much to be done
during the winter.Copy !req
235. I should start the seeds for the spring
and work the soil.Copy !req
236. Bullshit.Copy !req
237. Who sent you here, boy?Copy !req
238. Did that chicken-shit asshole Raphael
send you, boy?Copy !req
239. No.Copy !req
240. Mr. Thomas Franklin told me
I must leave the old man's house.Copy !req
241. - He's dead, you know.
- Dead, my ass.Copy !req
242. You tell that assholeCopy !req
243. if he got somethin' to tell me

if you don't get out of here!Copy !req
252. - Don't show your honky face in here!Copy !req

260. - Can't move. My leg.
- My Lord.Copy !req
261. This is terrible, sir.
I hope you're not badly injured.Copy !req
262. No, I'm not badly injured,
but my leg is very sore.Copy !req
263. - It's not broken, is it? Can you walk?
- I hope not.Copy !req
264. - Perhaps I should call an ambulance.
- Well, let's have a look. Do you mind, sir?Copy !req
265. - No. I'd like to look.
- What's happened?Copy !req
266. - Mrs. Rand, it's...
- My goodness.Copy !req
267. - Your leg.
- Yes.Copy !req
268. It should be examined.
We could take you to a hospital.Copy !req
269. - There's no need for the hospital.
- A doctor should look at that.Copy !req
270. - I insist. We'll take him to a hospital.
- I'm very sorry, Mrs. Rand.Copy !req
271. - I never saw the man.
- It's really no one's fault, David.Copy !req
272. Thank you, ma'am.Copy !req
273. I've never ridden in an automobile before.Copy !req
274. I assure you, sir,
David is a very careful driver.Copy !req
275. - I understand.
- Very good.Copy !req
276. These situations can be so trying.Copy !req
277. Everyone seems to make such a to-do
out of a simple little accident.Copy !req
278. Is your leg feeling any better?Copy !req
279. No, it isn't.Copy !req
280. I see.Copy !req
281. This is just like television,
only you can see much further.Copy !req
282. You know, why don't you come to our house
and we could take care of you there.Copy !req
283. - Your house?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
284. My husband's been very ill.
The doctor and the nurses are staying with us.Copy !req
285. Hospitals can be so impersonal.Copy !req
286. - I agree.
- Fine.Copy !req
287. That'll save a lot of unnecessary fuss
and it'll be that much more pleasant for you.Copy !req
288. David, we'll go right on home.Copy !req
289. And, Jeffery, would you please call
and tell them we're on our way?Copy !req
290. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
291. Would you care for a drink?Copy !req
292. Yes, please. I'm very thirsty.Copy !req
293. Thank you.Copy !req
294. May I watch television, please?Copy !req
295. Why, yes. Certainly.Copy !req
296. - And now the piece of resistance.Copy !req
297. John Travolta is not worried...Copy !req
298. - May I ask your name?Copy !req
299. Thank you, Bowzer.

to Basil and Perdita Gardiner?Copy !req
306. No, I'm not related to Basil and Perdita.Copy !req

309. and we often visit their island.Copy !req
310. Thank you.Copy !req
311. I'm a New York Yankees fan,
but, Bart, I gotta respect the Dodgers.Copy !req
312. They played one heck of a game.Copy !req
313. They did, indeed.Copy !req
314. - Who asked him?
- Ye ̶ What?Copy !req
315. - Who asked him?
- That's right!Copy !req
316. Did you lose something?Copy !req
317. Yes, I lost my remote control.Copy !req
318. I use it to change the channels.Copy !req
319. I work as an associate in a real estate firmCopy !req
320. and part-time in a nice restaurant.Copy !req
321. - My hobbies ̶Copy !req
322. Your car comes equipped
with a number of warning devices.Copy !req
323. - Your brake lights warn traffic behind you ̶
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
324. to slow down when you do.Copy !req
325. You wouldn't think of driving
without your rearview mirror.Copy !req
326. And yet some people still drive
without a Fuzzbuster.Copy !req
327. When they unwrapped the chopsticks
to be used by the Chinese guests,Copy !req
328. the packages were clearly stamped
"Made in Taiwan. "Copy !req
329. I know it's important to stay informed
of all the latest events,Copy !req
330. but, uh, well, I find
there's so much to assimilateCopy !req
331. it can become quite muddling at times.Copy !req
332. They placed
the chopsticks around the table.Copy !req
333. - If the Chinese were upset ̶Copy !req
334. I even put that basketball
underneath my pillow.Copy !req
335. — Maybe that's why I can't sleep at night.Copy !req
336. I need help, ladies and gentlemens!Copy !req
337. I need someone to stand beside me.Copy !req
338. I need ̶ I need someone to set a pick for me
at the free-throw line of life.Copy !req
339. - Someone I can pass to.Copy !req
340. Someone to hit the open man
on the give-and-go.Copy !req
341. So, cheerleaders, help me out!Copy !req
342. I want everybody in the whole stadium
to stand up and sing with me!Copy !req
343. I got more moves than Ex-lax!Copy !req
344. Here I come down court! Try to stop me!Copy !req
345. Can't stop me
because I got a basketball jones!Copy !req
346. Good evening, ma'am.Copy !req
347. Wilson, would you take Mr. Gardiner
to the third floor guest suite?Copy !req
348. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
349. And I'll see you after Dr. Allenby
has a look at your leg.Copy !req
350. Thank you. Yes. Yes.Copy !req
351. I've never been in one of these before.Copy !req
352. It's one of Mr. Rand's.Copy !req
353. Since he's been ill.Copy !req
354. I see.Copy !req
355. Does it have a television?Copy !req
356. No.Copy !req
357. But Mr. Rand does have one
with an electric motor.Copy !req
358. That way he can get around by himself.Copy !req
359. How long do we stay in here?Copy !req
360. How long?Copy !req
361. I don't know.
We'll see what the doctor says.Copy !req
362. I've seen it done before
in a film on television, in a hospital.Copy !req
363. - Mm-hmm. This won't hurt at all.
- And i ̶Copy !req
364. It did hurt.Copy !req
365. Well, there's no apparent damage
to the bone,Copy !req
366. but just to be sure I'll have Wilson
wheel you down for an X-ray.Copy !req
367. X-ray?Copy !req
368. By the way, Mr. Gardiner,
I'd like to ask you something straight out.Copy !req
369. - Straight out.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
370. Are you planning on making
any sort of claim against the Rands?Copy !req
371. "Claim."Copy !req
372. That's what Thomas asked me.Copy !req
373. Thomas? You can pull
your trousers up now, if you'd like.Copy !req
374. Who, uh... Who's Thomas?Copy !req
375. Thomas Franklin. He's an attorney.Copy !req
376. - An attorney.
- Yes.Copy !req
377. Then you wish to handle this matter
through your attorneys.Copy !req
378. There is no need for a claim.Copy !req
379. I don't even know what they look like.Copy !req
380. Well, then.Copy !req
381. You caught me off guard there,
I must admit.Copy !req
382. - I don't see anything.
- Thank you.Copy !req
383. Now, the only thing we have to look out for
is minor hemorrhaging,Copy !req
384. which isn't serious
but could cause trouble later on.Copy !req
385. - Tell me, Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
386. Would it be possible for you to stay here for
a day or two so we could keep an eye on it?Copy !req
387. Yes, I could stay here.Copy !req
388. - Does this house have a garden?
- Why, yes. Many.Copy !req
389. - Good.
- Keep your weight off that leg, Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
390. Yes.Copy !req
391. Mr. Wilson, please wheel Mr. Gardiner in
for X-rays after you've finished unpacking.Copy !req
392. - Yes, Doctor.
- Thank you.Copy !req
393. Ever watch a game on TV
and see the players chuggin' down this stuff?Copy !req
394. Ever wonder why?Copy !req
395. Mmm!Copy !req
396. I miss you so when I'm out.
How are you feeling?Copy !req
397. No headaches?Copy !req
398. No, it's been a fairly good day.Copy !req
399. - Better than yours, so I've been told.
- You heard about it?Copy !req
400. I may be a shut-in, but...Copy !req
401. - I'm sorry you had to go through all that.
- No, it was nothing. Nothing, really.Copy !req
402. Just sounded worse than it was.Copy !req
403. And Mr. Gardiner is a very reasonable man.Copy !req
404. Reasonable.Copy !req
405. I'd like to meet a reasonable man
for a change.Copy !req
406. Why don't you ask this Robinson for dinner.Copy !req
407. Gardiner. Gardiner.Copy !req
408. Chauncey. Chauncey Gardiner.Copy !req
409. - Ro... Gardiner.Copy !req
410. You think you're well enough
for dinner, Ben?Copy !req
411. Constance, I want fresh blood for dinner.Copy !req
412. Yes, sir.Copy !req
413. I'll have them set another place.Copy !req
414. My God, Eve, you'll freeze.Copy !req
415. No. I just...Copy !req
416. I just wanted to get some fresh air.Copy !req
417. - How's Mr. Gardiner?-Copy !req
418. Doesn't seem to be too serious.Copy !req
419. But it is a rather large contusion
and I'd like to keep an eye on him,Copy !req
420. so I suggested that he stay here
for a couple of days.Copy !req
421. Here?Copy !req
422. Mr. Gardiner stay here?
Why? Is that necessary?Copy !req
423. No, not necessary.Copy !req
424. But, uh, helpful.Copy !req
425. Don't worry.
He might be a breath of fresh air.Copy !req
426. He is different, isn't he?Copy !req
427. You know, he's very, um... intense.Copy !req
428. Perhaps.Copy !req
429. Actually, I found him to have
quite a sense of humor.Copy !req
430. Well...Copy !req
431. That's a very small room.Copy !req
432. Yes, sir, I guess that's true.Copy !req
433. Smallest room in the house.Copy !req
434. Yes, uh, I guess that's true.Copy !req
435. Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
436. Welcome to Rand Memorial Hospital.Copy !req
437. - Thank you.
- Can I help you to the table, Mr. Gardiner?Copy !req
438. Thank you.Copy !req
439. - I feel very good in here.Copy !req
440. That's the oxygen.Copy !req
441. When I first got sick,Copy !req
442. I had this entire room glassed in...Copy !req
443. so they could pump in some extra oxygen.Copy !req
444. Keeps my spirits up.Copy !req
445. You must be very ill.Copy !req
446. Aplastic anemia, Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
447. Aplastic anemia.Copy !req
448. The bone marrow doesn't
supply enough red blood cells.Copy !req
449. Not a damn thing they can do about it.Copy !req
450. They can keep me comfortable.Copy !req
451. Prolong my life with...Copy !req
452. steroid therapyCopy !req
453. and these transfusions.Copy !req
454. But what makes my blood boil...Copy !req
455. That is,
what there is of it, Mr. Gardiner,Copy !req
456. is that this is usuallyCopy !req
457. a young person's disease.Copy !req
458. Well, here I am, getting along in years,Copy !req
459. and I'm about to die
of a young person's disease.Copy !req
460. I've never seen anything like this
on television.Copy !req
461. Please. Lie still, Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
462. You'll join us for dinner,
of course, Mr. Gardiner?Copy !req
463. Yes, please. Thank you. Thank you.Copy !req
464. I'm very hungry.Copy !req
465. And so am I, my boy.Copy !req
466. So am I.Copy !req
467. Do you know Raphael?Copy !req
468. No, sir, I don't believe I do.Copy !req
469. Because I have a message for him.Copy !req
470. Yes, sir?Copy !req
471. A small black man gave me
a message for Raphael.Copy !req
472. Well, I still don't believe
I know the man, Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
473. Now, please, lie still.Copy !req
474. Is there anyone we could notify for you?Copy !req
475. No.Copy !req
476. The old man died and Louise left.Copy !req
477. I'm... I'm very sorry.Copy !req
478. Well...Copy !req
479. Well, I do hope your injury won't prevent you
from attending to business, Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
480. Mmm.Copy !req
481. Do you need a secretary?Copy !req
482. No, thank you.Copy !req
483. My house was shut down.Copy !req
484. You mean...Copy !req
485. You mean your business was shut down?Copy !req
486. Yes.Copy !req
487. Shut down and closed by the attorneys.Copy !req
488. What'd I tell ya?Copy !req
489. That's exactly what I mean.Copy !req
490. The businessman today
is at the mercy of kid lawyers from the SEC.Copy !req
491. It's happening to everyone, I'm afraid.Copy !req
492. The way things are going,Copy !req
493. they'll probably legislate the medical profession
as we know it right out of existence.Copy !req
494. Yes.Copy !req
495. Right out of existence.Copy !req
496. Well, it's a damn shame.Copy !req
497. Well, what are your plans now, Mr. Gardiner?Copy !req
498. Or may I call you Chauncey?Copy !req
499. Chauncey's fine.Copy !req
500. So then, what are your plans, Chauncey?Copy !req
501. Well... I'd...Copy !req
502. I would like to work in your garden.Copy !req
503. Ben, I know exactly what he means.Copy !req
504. Isn't it wonderful to be with the trees
and the flowers like that?Copy !req
505. I never had much feel for it myself.Copy !req
506. I'm a very good gardener.Copy !req
507. It's such a...Copy !req
508. a pleasant way to forget one's troubles.Copy !req
509. Yeah, well, isn't that
what any businessman is?Copy !req
510. A gardener.Copy !req
511. He... works on...Copy !req
512. flinty soil...Copy !req
513. to make it productive
with the labor of his own hands.Copy !req
514. He... He waters it...Copy !req
515. with the sweat of his own brow.Copy !req
516. He makes a thing of valueCopy !req
517. for his family and for the community.Copy !req
518. Yes, indeed, Chauncey,Copy !req
519. a productive businessmanCopy !req
520. is a laborer in the vineyard.Copy !req
521. I know exactly what you mean, Ben.Copy !req
522. The garden that I left was such a place.Copy !req
523. But I don't have that anymore.Copy !req
524. All I have left is the room upstairs.Copy !req
525. Come on, now. Wait a minute, Chauncey.Copy !req
526. You've got your health.Copy !req
527. For God's sake, man,
you can't let those bastards get you down.Copy !req
528. You gotta fight.Copy !req
529. I don't want to hear anymore from you
about that "room upstairs."Copy !req
530. That's where I'm going.Copy !req
531. And too damn soon.Copy !req
532. It's a very pleasant room, Ben.Copy !req
533. Yeah, I'm sure it is.Copy !req
534. That's what they say, anyway.Copy !req
535. You know, Chauncey ̶Copy !req
536. there are thousands of businessmen,
large and small,Copy !req
537. in your situation.Copy !req
538. I've given the matterCopy !req
539. a good deal of consideration
for some time.Copy !req
540. They've been harassed long enough byCopy !req
541. inflation, increased taxation,Copy !req
542. all sorts of indecencies.Copy !req
543. After all, they're our strongest defenseCopy !req
544. against the pollutants
of our basic freedoms,Copy !req
545. as well as the well-being
of our middle-class.Copy !req
546. I've been thinking about starting
a financial assistance fund.Copy !req
547. Tell me, Chauncey, would you
have any ideas on that subject?Copy !req
548. No, Ben.Copy !req
549. Reluctant to speak, huh?Copy !req
550. Well, I can understand that.Copy !req
551. After a man's lost everything,Copy !req
552. anger tends to block out rationality
for a while.Copy !req
553. But you work on the idea.Copy !req
554. Water it.Copy !req
555. Fertilize it.Copy !req
556. I will, Ben, yes.Copy !req
557. I'm sure you'll sprout some thoughts
in a few days.Copy !req
558. I will, Ben, yes.Copy !req
559. Sorry, sir.Copy !req
560. I thought you were going to come out with
another one of your jests about the elevator.Copy !req
561. Excuse me.Copy !req
562. Elevator.Copy !req
563. Yes, sir. Elevator.Copy !req
564. Chauncey.Copy !req
565. I just wanted you to know how delighted I am
that you're staying with usCopy !req
566. and how dreadful I feel about your leg.Copy !req
567. Thank you, Eve.Copy !req
568. You lifted Ben's spirits tonight
to such an extent.Copy !req
569. Do you know that?Copy !req
570. He liked you so much, Chauncey.
He really did.Copy !req
571. Ben is very ill, Eve.Copy !req
572. I've seen that before.Copy !req
573. I know.Copy !req
574. He reminds me of the old man.Copy !req
575. Does he?Copy !req
576. Eve, are you going to leave
and close this house when Ben dies?Copy !req
577. W-Why, I-I-I...Copy !req
578. I don't think so.Copy !req
579. Good night, Eve.Copy !req
580. Good night, Chauncey.Copy !req
581. - Good morning, Mr. Perkins.
- Good morning, Mr. Riff.Copy !req
582. - Nice to see you again.
- Thank you.Copy !req
583. We have an additional guest with us today ̶
Mr. Chauncey Gardiner.Copy !req
584. I see. Shall we set up the communications
in the usual place?Copy !req
585. - Of course.
- Okay, let's go to work.Copy !req
586. Would you like a car, sir?Copy !req
587. Yes, I would like a car.Copy !req
588. - Yes, sir.
- Thank you.Copy !req
589. Send up number seven, please.Copy !req
590. Chauncey, there you are.Copy !req
591. What are you doing on that leg?Copy !req
592. - It's fine today, Robert.
- Now, shame on you, Chauncey.Copy !req
593. You should let me be the judge of that.Copy !req
594. Please sit in the chair.Copy !req
595. I swear, Chauncey, between you
and Benjamin I've got my hands full.Copy !req
596. Say, that is coming along.
The swelling's gone down considerably.Copy !req
597. Your limousine, sir.Copy !req
598. Fine. Thank you.Copy !req
599. Are you... going somewhere?Copy !req
600. No.Copy !req
601. Anyway,Copy !req
602. the president has volunteered
to sit in for Ben at the convention.Copy !req
603. Quite a nice gesture.Copy !req
604. They're due here soon, I believe.Copy !req
605. I know about the president coming, Robert.Copy !req
606. - You do, do you?
- Yes.Copy !req
607. Ben would like me to meet the president.Copy !req
608. - He would, would he?
- Yes.Copy !req
609. How will I know when it's 10:00, Robert?Copy !req
610. Well...Copy !req
611. it's ten after 9:00 now.Copy !req
612. A-And if you don't see a clock...Copy !req
613. well, I'm sure someone will have the time.Copy !req
614. I understand.Copy !req
615. I'm going to walk.Copy !req
616. Walk? Well, yes. Hell yes. Walk.Copy !req
617. You're meeting the president, aren't you?Copy !req
618. Yes. Yes.Copy !req
619. I've watched him on television.Copy !req
620. It's very precise, sir.Copy !req
621. It's 10:00.Copy !req
622. Thank you, Jim.Copy !req
623. Mrs. Aubrey, the president is arriving.Copy !req
624. Chauncey!Copy !req
625. Up and around this morning, are you?Copy !req
626. I like to walk, Ben.Copy !req
627. Well, that's good news, my boy.Copy !req
628. You look much better today, Ben.Copy !req
629. It's all makeup.Copy !req
630. I asked Nurse Teresa to fix me up a bit.Copy !req
631. I didn't want the president to think I was
gonna die while he was talking to me.Copy !req
632. —I see.Copy !req
633. Nobody likes a dying man, Chauncey,Copy !req
634. because nobody knows what death is.Copy !req
635. You seem to be an exception, Chauncey.Copy !req
636. That's one of the things I admire about you ̶
your admirable balance.Copy !req
637. You seem to be a truly peaceful man.Copy !req
638. Thank you, Ben. Thank you.Copy !req
639. Nurse Teresa did a very good job, Ben.Copy !req
640. Mr. Rand, the president is arriving.Copy !req
641. Just show the president into the library.Copy !req
642. We'll be along in a few minutes.Copy !req
643. It's an old habit that goes along with power ̶
keep 'em waiting.Copy !req
644. - Not now, Arthur.
- But, sir...Copy !req
645. No, I'm going to meet the president...Copy !req
646. on my own two feet.Copy !req
647. Chauncey.Copy !req
648. Shall we go?Copy !req
649. That's a very good idea, Ben.Copy !req
650. When I was younger,Copy !req
651. I had thoughts of public office.Copy !req
652. But I found, Chauncey,
that I was able to contribute moreCopy !req
653. as a private citizen.Copy !req
654. Of course my wealth provided meCopy !req
655. with considerable influence.Copy !req
656. But I've tried, Chauncey,
believe me, I've tried,Copy !req
657. uh, not to misuse that power.Copy !req
658. It's extremely important, Chauncey,Copy !req
659. that we don't allow ourselves
to become blindedCopy !req
660. to the needs of our government,Copy !req
661. no matter how strong the temptation.Copy !req
662. I've been labeled a kingmaker,Copy !req
663. but I've triedCopy !req
664. to keep myself open
to the voice of the peopleCopy !req
665. and I've remained honest to myself.Copy !req
666. That's the main thing.Copy !req
667. - Good morning, Mr. Rand.
- Good morning, Mr. Rand.Copy !req
668. Good morning, gentlemen.Copy !req
669. Where the hell is he?Copy !req
670. Mr. President.Copy !req
671. Ben.Copy !req
672. It's good to see you. You look terrific.Copy !req
673. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
674. Your visit has helped to raise my spirits.Copy !req
675. Well, I've missed you, my friend.Copy !req
676. Come, sit down.
Take a load off your feet, huh?Copy !req
677. Hello, Mr. President.Copy !req
678. Hello.Copy !req
679. Mr. President, I want you
to meet my very dear friend,Copy !req
680. Mr. Chauncey Gardiner.Copy !req
681. Mmm.Copy !req
682. On television, Mr. President,Copy !req
683. you look much smaller.Copy !req
684. I must warn you that Chauncey's
not a man to bandy words.Copy !req
685. Really?Copy !req
686. Well, Mr. Gardiner, I'm a man who appreciates
discussing a frank discussion.Copy !req
687. - Will you be seated?
- Yes, I will.Copy !req
688. - Ben, I was wondering if you had a chance...
- Yes?Copy !req
689. - Did you happen to have a chance to go over...
- Yes?Copy !req
690. Ben, did you read my speech?Copy !req
691. Overall, pretty good.Copy !req
692. But I think, Mr. President,Copy !req
693. that it's very dangerousCopy !req
694. to play around with temporary measures
at a time like this.Copy !req
695. Well, Ben, I mean, uh...Copy !req
696. I sympathize with you,Copy !req
697. and I know how difficult it is
to be straightforward.Copy !req
698. But I tell you right now, Bobby...Copy !req
699. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
700. I'm Riff. Secret Service.Copy !req
701. Huh? Well, of course.Copy !req
702. What you're saying, Ben, is that...Copy !req
703. you don't think I should take the chance.Copy !req
704. Absolutely not.Copy !req
705. Mr. Gardiner, do you agree with Ben,Copy !req
706. or do you think we can stimulate growth
through temporary incentives?Copy !req
707. As long as the roots are not severed,Copy !req
708. all is well,Copy !req
709. and all will be wellCopy !req
710. in the garden.Copy !req
711. - In the garden?
- Yes.Copy !req
712. In a garden,Copy !req
713. growth has its season.Copy !req
714. First comes spring and summer,Copy !req
715. but then we have...Copy !req
716. fall and winter.Copy !req
717. And then we get spring and summer again.Copy !req
718. - Spring and summer?
- Yes.Copy !req
719. Then fall and winter.Copy !req
720. Yes.Copy !req
721. I think what our insightful
young friend is saying...Copy !req
722. is that we welcomeCopy !req
723. the inevitable seasons of nature,Copy !req
724. but we're upset by
the seasons of our economy.Copy !req
725. Yes.Copy !req
726. There will be growth in the spring.Copy !req
727. - Mmm.
- Mmm.Copy !req
728. Mmm.Copy !req
729. Well, Mr. Gardiner, I must admit,
that is one of the most refreshingCopy !req
730. and optimistic statements I've heard
in a very, very long time.Copy !req
731. I admire your good, solid sense.Copy !req
732. That's precisely what we lack on Capitol Hill.Copy !req
733. Well, I must be going.Copy !req
734. This visit has been most enlightening.Copy !req
735. - Yes, it has.
- Yes.Copy !req
736. And, Ben,Copy !req
737. thank you for your time and thought.Copy !req
738. Nonsense.Copy !req
739. Thank you for taking time out
with a dying man.Copy !req
740. Now, I won't have any of that.Copy !req
741. Why don't you listen to
your friend Chauncey here.Copy !req
742. This is a time to think of life.Copy !req
743. That's right, Mr. President.Copy !req
744. Now, you take care, Ben.Copy !req
745. And you take care too, Bobby.Copy !req
746. Chauncey.Copy !req
747. Bobby.Copy !req
748. He's a decent fella, isn't he, the president?Copy !req
749. Yes. I'm glad he came, Ben.Copy !req
750. Kaufman, I'll need some information
on Mr. Chauncey Gardiner's background.Copy !req
751. Gardiner. Yes, sir.Copy !req
752. - I'd like it sometime today.
- No problem, chief.Copy !req
753. You know, Chauncey,Copy !req
754. you don't play games with words...Copy !req
755. to protect yourself.Copy !req
756. No, you... you're direct.Copy !req
757. Do you remember what I was
talking to you about last night?Copy !req
758. - No, Ben.
- Sure, you do.Copy !req
759. My plan for financial assistance
to businessmen.Copy !req
760. Well, I think you're just the manCopy !req
761. to take charge of an institution like that.Copy !req
762. - huh.Copy !req
763. I understand, Ben.Copy !req
764. Yeah.Copy !req
765. And, Chauncey,Copy !req
766. I know you're not a man
to act on the spur of the moment.Copy !req
767. So don't feel that you
have to rush into a decision.Copy !req
768. Thank you, Ben.Copy !req
769. Now, Chauncey,
I'm afraid I must excuse myself.Copy !req
770. I'm awfully tired.Copy !req
771. I'm sorry you're so sick, Ben.Copy !req
772. We have 60, 000 tulip bulbs
up there, Chauncey.Copy !req
773. It is so glorious when they bloom.Copy !req
774. Of course, the roses are my favorites.Copy !req
775. We have 20,000 rose bushes.Copy !req
776. And over here, we plant
something different every year.Copy !req
777. I haven't quite decided
what we'll plant this year.Copy !req
778. And that's the gardener's house.Copy !req
779. And this is the greenhouse.Copy !req
780. I like to watch the young plants grow.Copy !req
781. - It's wonderful, isn't it?
- Yes.Copy !req
782. Young plants do much better
if a person helps them.Copy !req
783. You know, Chauncey,Copy !req
784. Ben told me that the president
was very taken with you this morning.Copy !req
785. Chauncey, last night you mentioned
an old man that died.Copy !req
786. You must have been very close to him.Copy !req
787. I was. Yes.Copy !req
788. I'm sorry.Copy !req
789. Um,Copy !req
790. you mentioned also
that Louise had gone also.Copy !req
791. Were you very close with Louise?Copy !req
792. Yes, I liked Louise very much.Copy !req
793. She was his maid.Copy !req
794. His maid.Copy !req
795. Yes.Copy !req
796. I see. That's ̶Copy !req
797. So stupid of me.Copy !req
798. I thought maybe she was perhaps someone
you were romantically involved with,Copy !req
799. or maybe a sister.Copy !req
800. No.Copy !req
801. She... used to bring me my meals.Copy !req
802. She was very kind to me.Copy !req
803. Chauncey Gardiner,
Mr. Rand's close friend and adviser,Copy !req
804. was at the meeting this morning.Copy !req
805. I found Mr. Gardiner
to have a feeling for this countryCopy !req
806. that we need more of.Copy !req
807. To quote Mr. Gardiner,Copy !req
808. a most intuitive man,Copy !req
809. "As long as the roots of industry
remain firmly plantedCopy !req
810. in the national soil,Copy !req
811. the economic prospects
are undoubtedly sunny. "Copy !req
812. - What is it?Copy !req
813. - Doctor.
- Decorel. Five milligrams.Copy !req
814. - What's wrong?
- Now, I know that many of you ̶Copy !req
815. Put your arms up. Put your arms up.Copy !req
816. - Ben.Copy !req
817. I think you'd better leave, Eve.Copy !req
818. - Will he be okay?
- He'll be fine. He'll be all right.Copy !req
819. I've got you, Ben. I got you.Copy !req
820. Come on, Chauncey.Copy !req
821. But I have decided
there are no temporary stopgaps.Copy !req
822. So I'm gonna rethink my position
and find another solution.Copy !req
823. And you'll be very pleased to know that
your founder and chairman of the board,Copy !req
824. Mr. Benjamin Turnbull Rand,
agrees with me on this.Copy !req
825. For once.Copy !req
826. Gentlemen, let us not fear the inevitable
chill and storms of autumn and winter.Copy !req
827. Instead, let us anticipate
the rapid growth of springtime.Copy !req
828. Let us await the rewards of summer.Copy !req
829. As in a garden of the earth,
let us learn to accept and appreciateCopy !req
830. the times when the trees are bareCopy !req
831. as well as the times
when we pick the fruit.Copy !req
832. Chauncey, I... I'm just so very grateful
that you're here with us.Copy !req
833. So am I, Eve.Copy !req
834. It's been an exhausting day for Ben.Copy !req
835. He's resting now,
and there's no cause for alarm.Copy !req
836. Mr. Gardiner.
I have a telephone call for you.Copy !req
837. Telephone call?Copy !req
838. Yes. Sidney Courtney,
the financial editor of The Washington Post.Copy !req
839. Would you care to take it, sir?Copy !req
840. Yes.Copy !req
841. In my office.Copy !req
842. Well, go. Go, Chauncey. I'll be just fine.Copy !req
843. Yes, you'll be fine, Eve.Copy !req
844. He's such a kind and sensitive man.Copy !req
845. Don't you think?Copy !req
846. - He's not there.
- Not there?Copy !req
847. Mr. Courtney, are you there?Copy !req
848. Yes, he's there.Copy !req
849. Where is he, there or here?Copy !req
850. He's on both lines.Copy !req
851. Good afternoon. Rand.Copy !req
852. I told you not
to call me at the office.Copy !req
853. Good-bye.Copy !req
854. Are you there?Copy !req
855. Yes, I'm here.Copy !req
856. Well, hello, Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
857. I saw the president's speech
at the Financial Institute today.Copy !req
858. I wonder if you'd care to commentCopy !req
859. on the meeting between Mr. Rand
and the president and yourself.Copy !req
860. Yes. It was very nice
meeting the president.Copy !req
861. What we'd like to know are some facts.Copy !req
862. Um, such as what is
the exact relationship between yourselfCopy !req
863. and the First American
Financial Corporation?Copy !req
864. I think you should ask Mr. Rand that.Copy !req
865. Well, yes, sir. But Mr. Rand is ill,
so I'm taking the liberty of asking you.Copy !req
866. What? Say that again.Copy !req
867. - I said that, uh, since Mr. Rand is ill ̶
- Yes?Copy !req
868. I'm taking the liberty of asking you.Copy !req
869. Yes, you are.Copy !req
870. You should ask Mr. Rand that.Copy !req
871. Of course.Copy !req
872. Just one quick question,
Mr. Gardiner. ̶Copy !req
873. Will you hold a minute, please?Copy !req
874. Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
875. I have the producer
of The Gary Burns Show on the line.Copy !req
876. Yes.Copy !req
877. I have watched that show.Copy !req
878. Of course.Copy !req
879. They would like you to appear
on the show tonight.Copy !req
880. The vice president was scheduled,
but he had to cancel.Copy !req
881. They asked if you would be interested.Copy !req
882. - Yes. I've been on television.
- Fine.Copy !req
883. Hello, Mr. Hull?
Mr. Gardiner has agreed to do the show.Copy !req
884. He's been on television.Copy !req
885. Yes. The show will be taped
and then shown at 10:00,Copy !req
886. but he is to be there...Copy !req
887. What do you mean, he's got no background?Copy !req
888. That's impossible.Copy !req
889. I quoted the man on national television.
He's a very well-known man.Copy !req
890. We're well aware of that, sir.Copy !req
891. He's a close friend and adviser
of Benjamin Rand.Copy !req
892. For Christ's sakes, we've got
volumes of data on ̶ on Rand.Copy !req
893. I plan to contact Mr. Rand, sir,
just the minute we ̶Copy !req
894. I do not want Ben disturbed.Copy !req
895. Now, we have other ways of gathering
information than to trouble a dying man.Copy !req
896. Use whatever agencies are necessaryCopy !req
897. to put together a detailed history
of Chauncey Gardiner.Copy !req
898. Have it in my office tomorrow at 7:00.Copy !req
899. - Gotta take a leak.
- Right, chief.Copy !req
900. Of course, Mr. Gardiner,Copy !req
901. your position in the financial community
carries a lot of weight.Copy !req
902. But what caught Gary's interest
was your down-to-earth philosophy.Copy !req
903. I see.Copy !req
904. Do you realize more people
will be watching you tonightCopy !req
905. than all those that have seen
theater plays in the last 40 years?Copy !req
906. - Yes?
- Yes.Copy !req
907. Why?Copy !req
908. Hell, I don't know.Copy !req
909. Good.Copy !req
910. - This way.
- Thank you.Copy !req
911. Yes.Copy !req
912. Gardiner's laconic.
He plays his cards very close to the chest.Copy !req
913. And the scuttlebutt
is that he's a strong candidateCopy !req
914. for a seat on the board
of First American Financial.Copy !req
915. Kinney, what have you
come up with on his background?Copy !req
916. Nothing.Copy !req
917. Yeah, yeah. Skip the levity.Copy !req
918. I know it's ridiculous, but there is no
information of any sort about Gardiner.Copy !req
919. We have no material on him.Copy !req
920. Zilch.Copy !req
921. Here. I want your shoulders
to go right on this ̶Copy !req
922. Pad. No, wait, you have to
put your head through the hole first.Copy !req
923. - Head in the hole.
- Head in the hole. Right. Okay.Copy !req
924. Now, stretch your legs out,
push your body ̶Copy !req
925. Thought you might need this
about now, Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
926. It gets pretty hot
underneath these lights.Copy !req
927. Thank you. I'm very thirsty.Copy !req
928. Well, now that you're up,
all you have to do is enjoy it.Copy !req
929. Now, if Gary wants to interrupt you
or ask you a question,Copy !req
930. he'll lift his left forefinger
to his left eyebrow.Copy !req
931. All right?Copy !req
932. distinguished financier
and presidential adviser ̶Copy !req
933. - I understand.
- Mr. Chauncey Gardiner.Copy !req
934. - Good.
- Thank you.Copy !req
935. You're very welcome.Copy !req
936. Nurse Teresa did Ben's makeup.Copy !req
937. Really? Did she do a good job?Copy !req
938. Yes, it looked just like this.Copy !req
939. - Looks like you're up, Mr. Gardiner.
- I am?Copy !req
940. Gary's ready for you now.Copy !req
941. Yes.Copy !req
942. - Good luck.
- Good luck.Copy !req
943. - This way.
- Thank you.Copy !req
944. Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
945. Well, how very nice to have you
with us this evening, Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
946. Hello, Gary.Copy !req
947. This is Miss Annie Lawson.
Mr. Chauncey Gardiner.Copy !req
948. Hi. How do you do?Copy !req
949. - Hello.
- Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
950. - Yes. Yes.
- Would you... join me?Copy !req
951. - Well ̶
- Excuse me.Copy !req
952. I'd like very much to thank you
for joining us on such short noticeCopy !req
953. and filling in for the vice president.Copy !req
954. Yes. Yes.Copy !req
955. It's always, uh, somewhat surprisingCopy !req
956. to find men like yourselfCopy !req
957. working so intimately with the president,Copy !req
958. and yet somehow managing
to remain relatively unknown.Copy !req
959. Yes, it is surprising.Copy !req
960. - Yes.
- Yes.Copy !req
961. Of course.Copy !req
962. Well, your anonymity is certainly likely
to be a thing of the past from now on.Copy !req
963. Good.Copy !req
964. Well, I assume,
since the president quoted you,Copy !req
965. that you're inclined to agree
with his view of the economy?Copy !req
966. Which view?Copy !req
967. The president compared
the economy of this country to a garden,Copy !req
968. and he stated
that after a period of decline,Copy !req
969. a time of growth would naturally follow.Copy !req
970. Yes.Copy !req
971. It is possible for everything
to grow strong.Copy !req
972. And there is plenty of room
for new trees and new flowersCopy !req
973. of all kinds.Copy !req
974. So you're saying, Mr. Gardiner,
this is just another season in the garden,Copy !req
975. so to speak.Copy !req
976. Yes. Yes.Copy !req
977. A garden needs a lot of care
and a lot of love.Copy !req
978. And if you give your gardenCopy !req
979. a lot of love, things grow.Copy !req
980. But first, some things must wither.Copy !req
981. Some trees die.Copy !req
982. - It's that gardener.
- Fresh, young saplings ̶Copy !req
983. Yeah. Chauncey Gardiner.
- take their place.Copy !req
984. No, he's a real gardener.Copy !req
985. He does talk like one.Copy !req
986. But I think he's brilliant.Copy !req
987. That is very interesting,
indeed, Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
988. But what about the bad seasons?Copy !req
989. Doesn't a country need
to have someone in chargeCopy !req
990. who can see it through
these periods of crisis?Copy !req
991. A leader, capable of guiding usCopy !req
992. through the bad seasons
as well as the good?Copy !req
993. - Yes.
- That bastard.Copy !req
994. Yes. We need a very good gardener.Copy !req
995. And I do agree with the president.Copy !req
996. The garden needs a lot of care.Copy !req
997. It is a good garden.Copy !req
998. - Its trees are healthy.Copy !req
999. I realize this might be an extremely difficult
question for you to answer, Mr. Gardiner,Copy !req
1000. but do you feel
that we have, in your words,Copy !req
1001. a very good gardener in office
at this time?Copy !req
1002. Jesus.Copy !req
1003. Yes.Copy !req
1004. Yes.Copy !req
1005. Some plants do well in the sun...Copy !req
1006. and others grow better in the shade.Copy !req
1007. Sounds as if we need
a lot of gardening here.Copy !req
1008. - We certainly do.Copy !req
1009. It's for sure
a white man's world in America.Copy !req
1010. It is possible to be flooded in one part...Copy !req
1011. Here, I raised that boy
since he was the size of a pissant...Copy !req
1012. and I'll say right now,
he never learned to read and write.Copy !req
1013. No, sir.Copy !req
1014. Had no brains at all.Copy !req
1015. And stuffed with rice pudding
between the ears.Copy !req
1016. Shortchanged by the LordCopy !req
1017. and dumb as a jackass.Copy !req
1018. Look at him now.Copy !req
1019. Yes, sir, all you got to be
is white in AmericaCopy !req
1020. to get whatever you want.Copy !req
1021. Gobbledygook.Copy !req
1022. What sort of gardener
would you be, Mr. Gardiner?Copy !req
1023. I am a very serious gardener.Copy !req
1024. I'm sure you are, Mr. Gardiner.
I'm sure you are.Copy !req
1025. - Remarkable.
- We'll be right back in just a moment.Copy !req
1026. You're fond of him too, aren't you, Eve?Copy !req
1027. Yes.Copy !req
1028. That's good.Copy !req
1029. Your own voyage to a private cove.Copy !req
1030. That's good.Copy !req
1031. May I take your coat, Mr. Gardiner?Copy !req
1032. Bravo, sir. Outstanding. Outstanding.Copy !req
1033. Time is the Rolex Datejust.Copy !req
1034. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1035. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1036. Okay, Sally, I'll see you in 20 minutes.Copy !req
1037. - Quaker State Motor Oil.
- Okay.Copy !req
1038. So, what oil filter am I using?Copy !req
1039. Are you kidding?Copy !req
1040. I won't be long. I've just gotta
talk to her about this Gardiner.Copy !req
1041. Good night.Copy !req
1042. Look, uh, Johanna, this ̶Copy !req
1043. - I said good night!
- Okay.Copy !req
1044. Chauncey.Copy !req
1045. Tomorrow night,Copy !req
1046. uh, Senator Rowley's widowCopy !req
1047. is holding a receptionCopy !req
1048. for the Soviet ambassador,Copy !req
1049. and it's pretty obvious that Robert here's
not going to allow me to attend.Copy !req
1050. So you'd be doing me a great favorCopy !req
1051. if you would attend in my place
and escort Eve.Copy !req
1052. Yes, Ben.Copy !req
1053. I would love to escort Eve.Copy !req
1054. You and Eve should...Copy !req
1055. create quite a stir.Copy !req
1056. I can already hear the gossip.Copy !req
1057. Chauncey.Copy !req
1058. You have the gift of being natural.Copy !req
1059. That's a great talent, my boy.Copy !req
1060. I hope the entire country
was listening.Copy !req
1061. The entire country.Copy !req
1062. Darling, what's wrong?Copy !req
1063. I can't.Copy !req
1064. I just can't right now.Copy !req
1065. I'm sorry, dearest. I just, uh ̶Copy !req
1066. I just can't.Copy !req
1067. We'll fix up one of Ben's for you.
Sophie insists on black tie.Copy !req
1068. I see.Copy !req
1069. - Chauncey?
- Yes?Copy !req
1070. I don't have very many friends, you know.Copy !req
1071. And Ben's friends are, uh,
oh, quite a bit older than I am.Copy !req
1072. Quite a bit.Copy !req
1073. Good night, Chauncey.Copy !req
1074. Good night, Eve.Copy !req
1075. Ho-ho-ho. He was very clever.Copy !req
1076. Keeping it at a third-grade level.
That's what they understand.Copy !req
1077. Yeah? Well, I don't understand
why he was in Jennings' house.Copy !req
1078. What was up his sleeve
when he pulled that stunt with us?Copy !req
1079. What was he doing and why?Copy !req
1080. Who knows?Copy !req
1081. Maybe the government
had something to do with it.Copy !req
1082. You know, Sally?Copy !req
1083. He made a fool out of me.Copy !req
1084. - And you know what that means, don't you?
- No.Copy !req
1085. Any political future I hadCopy !req
1086. is right down the toilet.Copy !req
1087. Jesus, the thought of spending
the rest of my life as an attorney...Copy !req
1088. Well...Copy !req
1089. That is really a downer.Copy !req
1090. And, Christ, Sally, I almost forgot.Copy !req
1091. Johanna is starting to think
something's going on.Copy !req
1092. Sid, be reasonable.
I have been everywhere.Copy !req
1093. There's no place left to look.Copy !req
1094. Try again.Copy !req
1095. Sure, try again. Where?Copy !req
1096. There's nothing.
It's like Gardiner never existed.Copy !req
1097. Try again.Copy !req
1098. Sid, it's useless.Copy !req
1099. I said, try again.Copy !req
1100. Up yours, Sid. You try again.Copy !req
1101. I quit.Copy !req
1102. - Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, gentlemen.Copy !req
1103. - Good morning, Mr. President.
- Sir, we were unable to ̶Copy !req
1104. - This is not what I requested.
- come up with any informationCopy !req
1105. before Mr. Gardiner appeared
at the Rand's.Copy !req
1106. This information goes back
a day and a half.Copy !req
1107. - Right, chief.
- I want the standard file. You know that.Copy !req
1108. Right, chief.Copy !req
1109. - Well, where is it?
- They, uh ̶ Right, chief.Copy !req
1110. Kaufman, what the hell
are you talkin' about?Copy !req
1111. The, uh, Bureau has some data, sir,
but it's ̶ it's not pertinent.Copy !req
1112. - Well, I'd like to hear that data.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
1113. His suits were made by a New York tailor,Copy !req
1114. handmade... in 1928.Copy !req
1115. The tailor went out of business in 1933
and later took his own life.Copy !req
1116. His underwear ̶
all of the finest cloth ̶Copy !req
1117. the factory was destroyed by fire in 1948.Copy !req
1118. This man carries no identification.Copy !req
1119. No driver's license.
No wallet. No credit cards.Copy !req
1120. Computers have analyzed his, uh ̶Copy !req
1121. - Miss Davis.
- vocal characteristics.Copy !req
1122. I'd like my eggs poached
this morning, please.Copy !req
1123. But they cannot determine
his ethnic background.Copy !req
1124. —Come in.Copy !req
1125. Chauncey.Copy !req
1126. Have you read the newspapers?Copy !req
1127. I don't read papers, Eve.Copy !req
1128. Well, you're described
as one of the principal architectsCopy !req
1129. of the president's speech last night.Copy !req
1130. And your comments on the television show
are side-by-side quoted with the president's.Copy !req
1131. I like the president very much.
He's a nice man.Copy !req
1132. Isn't he?Copy !req
1133. - Hi, neighbor.Copy !req
1134. There's somebody at the door.
Let's see who that special person is.Copy !req
1135. It's Mr. McFeely. Hi, Mr. McFeely.Copy !req
1136. - Speedy delivery! Good day to you.
- I'm so glad you brought it.Copy !req
1137. Come in, will you?Copy !req
1138. - I have the slides right here.
- Can I see how it works?Copy !req
1139. - Yes. Will you sit over here?
- All righty.Copy !req
1140. Got a few minutes here.Copy !req
1141. - You don't mind my being here like... this?
- This is the stereopticon.Copy !req
1142. That's right.Copy !req
1143. No, Eve.Copy !req
1144. I like you to be here.Copy !req
1145. - I guess you look right in here, don't you?
- You do?Copy !req
1146. That's right.Copy !req
1147. That's good. They're funny.Copy !req
1148. There's two pictures come together
to look like one.Copy !req
1149. They look a little deeper too, don't they?Copy !req
1150. Yes. That's good.Copy !req
1151. There are lots of pictures here.Copy !req
1152. But right now, I'd like to sing
about something even more special.Copy !req
1153. And that something is you.Copy !req
1154. Chauncey, thank you.Copy !req
1155. I'm so grateful, Chauncey. Thank you.Copy !req
1156. I would've just opened up
at the slightest touch.Copy !req
1157. I would've just opened up, you know?
You know that.Copy !req
1158. But you're so strongCopy !req
1159. that I can trust myself with you.Copy !req
1160. I'm glad you didn't open, Eve.Copy !req
1161. Move the picture
back and forth until it's in focus.Copy !req
1162. I see.Copy !req
1163. Is it in focus yet?Copy !req
1164. Well...Copy !req
1165. I'll show you another one.Copy !req
1166. - See? There's two of that too.Copy !req
1167. Waterfall.Copy !req
1168. Well, a long time ago
people didn't have television,Copy !req
1169. but they still liked to look
at interesting pictures.Copy !req
1170. And they would put pictures like these
in a special viewer.Copy !req
1171. Thank you.Copy !req
1172. And they would look at them
very, very carefully.Copy !req
1173. Here, I'll show you another one.Copy !req
1174. They looked like cards.Copy !req
1175. Flash cards from schools or something.Copy !req
1176. But they're really photographs.
Take a careful look at them.Copy !req
1177. The interesting thing about them
is that they're two.Copy !req
1178. One, two.Copy !req
1179. And they look very much alike.Copy !req
1180. Here. I'll show you another one.Copy !req
1181. Mr. Thomas Franklin, please.Copy !req
1182. Is Mr. Franklin in?Copy !req
1183. Certainly. This is Dr. Robert Allenby.Copy !req
1184. Would you tell Mr. Franklin
that I'd like to speak to him?Copy !req
1185. It concerns Chauncey Gardiner.Copy !req
1186. Mr. Gardiner, what was your reaction
to The Post's editorialCopy !req
1187. on the president's speech?Copy !req
1188. I did not read that.Copy !req
1189. But, sir, you must've at least glanced at it.Copy !req
1190. I did not glance at it.Copy !req
1191. Mr. Gardiner, The New York Times spoke
of your "peculiar brand of optimism."Copy !req
1192. What was your reaction to that?Copy !req
1193. I do not know what it means.Copy !req
1194. Sorry to persist, sir,
but it would be of great interest to meCopy !req
1195. to know just what newspapers you do read.Copy !req
1196. I do not read papers. I watch TV.Copy !req
1197. Do you mean, Mr. Gardiner, that you
find television's coverage of the newsCopy !req
1198. superior to that of the newspapers?Copy !req
1199. I like to watch TV.Copy !req
1200. Thank you, Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
1201. You're welcome.Copy !req
1202. Well, few men in public life have the courage
not to read the newspapers.Copy !req
1203. None that this reporter has met
have the guts to admit it.Copy !req
1204. Chauncey, I've never seen anyone
handle the press the way you do.Copy !req
1205. You were so cool and detached.Copy !req
1206. - Thank you, Eve.
- Eve. Eve!Copy !req
1207. - Sophie. How are you?Copy !req
1208. - I'm fine. How are you?
- I'm very well.Copy !req
1209. I'd like you to meet Chauncey Gardiner.Copy !req
1210. Hello, Vladimir.Copy !req
1211. And this is Mrs. Skrapinov.Copy !req
1212. - Natasha.
- Hello, Natasha.Copy !req
1213. - Very nice meeting you.
- And you.Copy !req
1214. You must sit with us, my friends.Copy !req
1215. - We have much to discuss.
- I agree.Copy !req
1216. Eve, let's let the men talk.Copy !req
1217. Would you two excuse us for a moment?Copy !req
1218. Regretfully, we shall yield
the pleasure of your companyCopy !req
1219. to others.Copy !req
1220. I shall yield too, Eve.Copy !req
1221. Yes. Well, you have a nice chat.Copy !req
1222. Shouldn't we, Mr. Gardiner,Copy !req
1223. get together more often
to exchange our thoughts?Copy !req
1224. It's strictly at the rumor stage now,
Lyman,Copy !req
1225. but there's something in the wind.Copy !req
1226. Something rather big in the wind, I'd say.Copy !req
1227. So whose files were destroyed,
the CIA's or the FBI's?Copy !req
1228. I don't know.Copy !req
1229. You may find, my friend, that we are
not so far from each other, huh?Copy !req
1230. Not so far.Copy !req
1231. We are not so far from each other.Copy !req
1232. Our chairs are almost touching.Copy !req
1233. Bravo. Bravo.Copy !req
1234. Our chairs are indeed almost touching.Copy !req
1235. And we want to remain seated
on them, correct?Copy !req
1236. We don't want them snatched out
from under us, am I right?Copy !req
1237. Because if one goes, the other goes.Copy !req
1238. And then ̶ boom-boom and boom-boom.Copy !req
1239. What is it about his background
that they're trying to cover up?Copy !req
1240. A criminal record?Copy !req
1241. A membership in a subversive organization?Copy !req
1242. Homosexual, perhaps.Copy !req
1243. He told me that he had been living there
since he was a child,Copy !req
1244. working as a gardener.Copy !req
1245. He showed us a room in the garage
where he said he stayed.Copy !req
1246. And I ̶ Well, I didn't really believe him,
of course, but why the act?Copy !req
1247. Tell me, Mr. Gardiner,Copy !req
1248. do you, by any chance,
enjoy Krylov's fables?Copy !req
1249. Now, I ask you that
because there is something, um ̶Copy !req
1250. there's something Krylovian about you.Copy !req
1251. Do you think so?Copy !req
1252. I believe that you know Krylov.Copy !req
1253. Um ̶Copy !req
1254. So, you know your Krylov
in Russian, do you?Copy !req
1255. Mr. Gardiner, I must confess,
I had suspected as much all along.Copy !req
1256. Excuse me, but would you
tell me your name again?Copy !req
1257. A dash of American humor, eh?Copy !req
1258. Vladimir Skrapinov.Copy !req
1259. That's a very nice name.Copy !req
1260. And yours, uh, Chauncey Gardiner.Copy !req
1261. Chauncey.Copy !req
1262. Gardiner.Copy !req
1263. He must have been involved
on some major financial levelCopy !req
1264. with the deceased.Copy !req
1265. - Mr. Jennings.Copy !req
1266. But our firm has no record
of any such transactions.Copy !req
1267. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1268. Chauncey, you had the Russian ambassador
eating right out of your hand.Copy !req
1269. You know that?
I didn't know you spoke Russian.Copy !req
1270. It's incredible.Copy !req
1271. It is extremely useful
to speak Russian today.Copy !req
1272. Are you proficient in other languages?Copy !req
1273. He's so modest, Ambassador Gaufridi.Copy !req
1274. He just never advertises his accomplishments.
You know, he never ̶Copy !req
1275. Maybe you should talk
to somebody, darling.Copy !req
1276. No.Copy !req
1277. No, that...Copy !req
1278. No, that wouldn't do any good.Copy !req
1279. Hello, Ronald.Copy !req
1280. - How are you?
- Just fine.Copy !req
1281. Good. I am fine too.Copy !req
1282. - Good. Good.
- Yes. Good. We're fine.Copy !req
1283. Yeah, fine.Copy !req
1284. Mr. Gardiner, uh, my editors and I
have been wonderingCopy !req
1285. if you would consider
writing a book for us.Copy !req
1286. Something about your political philosophy.Copy !req
1287. What do you say?Copy !req
1288. - I can't write.
- Of course not.Copy !req
1289. Who can nowadays? Listen, I have trouble
writing a postcard to my children.Copy !req
1290. Look, uh, we can give you
a six-figure advance.Copy !req
1291. I'll provide you with the very best
ghostwriter, proofreaders.Copy !req
1292. - I can't read.
- Of course you can't.Copy !req
1293. No one has the time.Copy !req
1294. We-We glance at things.
We watch television.Copy !req
1295. Tsk.Copy !req
1296. I like to watch TV.Copy !req
1297. Sure, you do. No one reads.Copy !req
1298. He's very, very sexy.Copy !req
1299. Don't leave me alone with him
for too long.Copy !req
1300. You say he showed you his garden?Copy !req
1301. Well, he said it was his.
He walked us through it.Copy !req
1302. I see.Copy !req
1303. Mr. Franklin,
I must ask you and Miss HayesCopy !req
1304. to keep this incident with Mr. Gardiner
strictly to yourselves.Copy !req
1305. There's no telling what
he could have been involved in.Copy !req
1306. It could be an extremely
confidential matter, so...Copy !req
1307. - Mm-hmm.
- Please, not a word.Copy !req
1308. - Of course, Doctor. I understand.
- Fine.Copy !req
1309. - Thank you very much.
- Certainly.Copy !req
1310. Glad to be of help.Copy !req
1311. Well, I heard he speaks eight languages,Copy !req
1312. and on top of everything else,
holds a degree in medicine as well as law.Copy !req
1313. Isn't that true, Eve?Copy !req
1314. Well, I don't know, Senator,
but it wouldn't surprise me.Copy !req
1315. He's very attractive.Copy !req
1316. Isn't he?Copy !req
1317. You know, I've never met anyone like you
in Washington before.Copy !req
1318. Yes, I've been here all my life.Copy !req
1319. Really? And, uh,
where have you been all my life?Copy !req
1320. Tell me, Mr. Gardiner.Copy !req
1321. Have you ever had sex with a man?Copy !req
1322. No. I don't think so.Copy !req
1323. We could go upstairs right now.Copy !req
1324. Is there a TV upstairs?Copy !req
1325. I like to watch.Copy !req
1326. You like to, uh, watch?Copy !req
1327. Yes.Copy !req
1328. You wait right here. I'll go get Warren.Copy !req
1329. Is it me?Copy !req
1330. Is it something I've done?Copy !req
1331. No, sweetheart, it's not...Copy !req
1332. No, it's... it's not you.Copy !req
1333. This never happened
when you were a senator.Copy !req
1334. It's not that. It's just that I...Copy !req
1335. - I ̶Copy !req
1336. - Chief.
- Yeah, Kaufman. What is it?Copy !req
1337. The CIA or the FBI
destroyed Gardiner's files ̶Copy !req
1338. - What?
- before anyone could get to them.Copy !req
1339. Why?Copy !req
1340. Neither agency will admit to a thing.Copy !req
1341. All right.Copy !req
1342. Get Baldwin and Honeycutt over here.
I'll be right down.Copy !req
1343. I feel so close to you, Chauncey.Copy !req
1344. I feel safe.Copy !req
1345. Ben understands my feelings for you,
by the way, and he accepts them.Copy !req
1346. Ben is very wise.Copy !req
1347. Or thirdly,
the man's file has been destroyed.Copy !req
1348. Now, I'd like some answers.Copy !req
1349. Gardiner's not a foreign agent.Copy !req
1350. There are now 16 countries
investigating the man.Copy !req
1351. I see.Copy !req
1352. What about the third question?Copy !req
1353. Is it possible to erase
all traces of a man?Copy !req
1354. Highly unlikely, sir.Copy !req
1355. In fact, the boys around the Bureau feelCopy !req
1356. that the only one capable
of pulling this offCopy !req
1357. would be an ex-FBIman.Copy !req
1358. I don't think that's entirely true, Grover.Copy !req
1359. What do the boys around Intelligence feel?Copy !req
1360. Well, Mr. President,
they don't quite know.Copy !req
1361. It's very difficult...Copy !req
1362. for me to say good night to you, Chauncey.Copy !req
1363. It's very hard...Copy !req
1364. for me to leave you.Copy !req
1365. It's very hard for me too, Eve.Copy !req
1366. No.Copy !req
1367. Sell all 750,000 shares...Copy !req
1368. of CCT.Copy !req
1369. Let's see.Copy !req
1370. Sell a million shares of Inland Oil.Copy !req
1371. And, Mrs. Aubrey,Copy !req
1372. have 30,000 shares of StandardCopy !req
1373. transferred into your account.Copy !req
1374. That's for you.Copy !req
1375. Ben.Copy !req
1376. Robert.Copy !req
1377. I was just cleaning up some loose ends.Copy !req
1378. Getting rid of the dead wood, so...Copy !req
1379. so Eve wouldn't have to cope with it.Copy !req
1380. Ben, I'd like to talk to you
about Chauncey.Copy !req
1381. Chauncey?Copy !req
1382. You know, Robert,Copy !req
1383. there's something about him
that ̶ that I trust.Copy !req
1384. He makes me feel good.Copy !req
1385. Since he's been around...Copy !req
1386. the thought of dying...Copy !req
1387. has been much easier for me.Copy !req
1388. Chauncey. I couldn't stand it.Copy !req
1389. Good morning, Bob.Copy !req
1390. He doesn't know,
but I do have something.Copy !req
1391. He keeps following closer all the time.Copy !req
1392. What is it?Copy !req
1393. Chauncey, what's wrong?Copy !req
1394. All right.
I'll squeeze, you'll squeeze.Copy !req
1395. - Chauncey.
- And so will he.Copy !req
1396. What's the matter, Chauncey?Copy !req
1397. I don't know what you like.Copy !req
1398. - I'm sorry.
- I like to watch, Eve.Copy !req
1399. What do you mean, you like to watch?Copy !req
1400. I like to watch.Copy !req
1401. You mean, me?Copy !req
1402. You mean you'd like to watch me...Copy !req
1403. do ̶ do it?Copy !req
1404. It's very good, Eve.Copy !req
1405. No, no, no, thanks.
I never touch the stuff, never.Copy !req
1406. - No?
- No.Copy !req
1407. - Cigar then?
- Yeah, I'll have one of those.Copy !req
1408. Thanks.Copy !req
1409. Thanks very much.Copy !req
1410. - Sit down, Rico.
- Yeah, thanks.Copy !req
1411. - Mmm.
- Chauncey.Copy !req
1412. Now, listen, Rico.Copy !req
1413. I'm gonna talk to you,
but you're not gonna hear a word I say, see?Copy !req
1414. This is inside dope, and if it gets out,
it'll be just too bad for somebody.Copy !req
1415. You know me.Copy !req
1416. All right. Get this.Copy !req
1417. Pete Montana's through.Copy !req
1418. Yeah?Copy !req
1419. Well. And I thought he was such a big guy.Copy !req
1420. He's through.Copy !req
1421. Suppose I were to tell you
that from now on,Copy !req
1422. you were Pete Montana,Copy !req
1423. that you were to take over his territory
in addition to your own.Copy !req
1424. - Chauncey.
- Would you shake on it?Copy !req
1425. One of the first things
you should know about me, my darling ̶Copy !req
1426. Would I?Copy !req
1427. is that I'm a little shy.Copy !req
1428. All right, it's set.Copy !req
1429. I'm doing a lot for you, Rico.Copy !req
1430. But when I get you planted,
I'll expect plenty of service.Copy !req
1431. You'll sure get it.Copy !req
1432. Permit me then to drink
to the new boss of the north side.Copy !req
1433. Thank ya.Copy !req
1434. - You look great, boss.
- Feels terrible.Copy !req
1435. You know, there ain't none of us ever been
invited up to eat at the Big Boy's dump.Copy !req
1436. And nobody ever crashed a gate
except Pete Montana.Copy !req
1437. If you think I'm goin' out
in this harness, you're crazy.Copy !req
1438. You look fine, boss.
Go on. Go on, take a peek.Copy !req
1439. - I don't know.Copy !req
1440. Don't you look fine!Copy !req
1441. I guess maybe I don't
look so bad after all.Copy !req
1442. Yeah.Copy !req
1443. Hello.Copy !req
1444. - Hello, Big Boy.
- Hello, Rico.Copy !req
1445. Yeah.Copy !req
1446. Yeah, thanks.Copy !req
1447. Thanks very much.Copy !req
1448. Well, you're rather
lit up tonight, aren't you?Copy !req
1449. - Yeah ̶Copy !req
1450. How strong is my abdominal muscle?Copy !req
1451. - This next exercise is trying to ̶Copy !req
1452. sort of explore,
and with any explorer, go slowly.Copy !req
1453. Knee to the chest,
and experimenting with the weight,Copy !req
1454. and going at this slowly.Copy !req
1455. - Please, nobody leaping up.Copy !req
1456. No, Chauncey!Copy !req
1457. Chauncey, where did you go ̶ go?Copy !req
1458. Chaun ̶Copy !req
1459. Well, that's not my way of teaching,
although some teachers do.Copy !req
1460. I find this way's kind of smarter.
And don't be frightened of it.Copy !req
1461. It's important to know
that, yes, you could roll over.Copy !req
1462. Plan on a cut down.
I'm gonna put in a CVP line.Copy !req
1463. No.Copy !req
1464. No more... shots.Copy !req
1465. No more.Copy !req
1466. It's not good, Ben.Copy !req
1467. I know.Copy !req
1468. I know.Copy !req
1469. You uncoil my wants.Copy !req
1470. Desire flows within me.Copy !req
1471. And when you watch me, my passion ̶Copy !req
1472. it dissolves the desire.Copy !req
1473. You set me free, Chauncey.Copy !req
1474. And I reveal myself to myself,
and I am drenched... and purged.Copy !req
1475. Mr. Gardiner?Copy !req
1476. Mr. Rand would like to see you.Copy !req
1477. I would like to see Ben.Copy !req
1478. Chauncey.Copy !req
1479. Yes, Ben?Copy !req
1480. Are you going to die now?Copy !req
1481. I think I'm going to surrenderCopy !req
1482. the horn of plenty...Copy !req
1483. for the horn of Gabriel.Copy !req
1484. Give me your hand.Copy !req
1485. Let me feel your strength.Copy !req
1486. Chauncey.Copy !req
1487. I hope that you'll stay here...Copy !req
1488. with Eve.Copy !req
1489. Take care of her.Copy !req
1490. She cares for you.Copy !req
1491. Watch... over her.Copy !req
1492. She's a delicate flower.Copy !req
1493. A flower.Copy !req
1494. Yes, Ben.Copy !req
1495. There's...Copy !req
1496. so...Copy !req
1497. so much left to do.Copy !req
1498. I've spoken to them ̶Copy !req
1499. my ̶ my associates.Copy !req
1500. They're eager...Copy !req
1501. very eagerCopy !req
1502. to meet you.Copy !req
1503. Tell Eve...Copy !req
1504. He's gone, Chauncey.Copy !req
1505. Yes, I know, Robert.Copy !req
1506. I've seen this before.Copy !req
1507. It happens to old people.Copy !req
1508. Will you be leaving now, Robert?Copy !req
1509. Yes, in a day or two.Copy !req
1510. Yes.Copy !req
1511. Eve is staying.Copy !req
1512. She said she will not close up the house.Copy !req
1513. You've become
quite a close friend of Eve's,Copy !req
1514. haven't you... Chance?Copy !req
1515. Yes.Copy !req
1516. Yes.Copy !req
1517. I...Copy !req
1518. I love Eve very much...Copy !req
1519. Robert.Copy !req
1520. And you really are a gardener, aren't you?Copy !req
1521. I-I am... a gardener.Copy !req
1522. Well, I'll go and tell Eve about Ben.Copy !req
1523. I understand.Copy !req
1524. I understand?Copy !req
1525. I know that Ben said
keep it small and quiet.Copy !req
1526. And I don't want to go
against Ben's wishes.Copy !req
1527. —But I thought it would be good,Copy !req
1528. while our close friends are carrying Ben
to his last resting place,Copy !req
1529. to read from his quotes.Copy !req
1530. "I have no use for those on welfare.Copy !req
1531. No patience whatsoever.Copy !req
1532. But if I am to be honest with myself,Copy !req
1533. I must admit that they have
no use for me either.Copy !req
1534. I do not regret having political differences
with men that I respect.Copy !req
1535. I do regret, however...Copy !req
1536. that our philosophies...Copy !req
1537. kept us apart."Copy !req
1538. Yes. I agree.
Except he's so boring.Copy !req
1539. - What about Max?
- He could never take an election.Copy !req
1540. - Correct.
- "I could never conceive" ̶Copy !req
1541. The people of this country
need to be awakened.Copy !req
1542. - "I could never convince" ̶
- What about Lawson?Copy !req
1543. He's charismatic, exciting.Copy !req
1544. He's a bit too exciting, I'm afraid.Copy !req
1545. - If they start bringing up things about ̶
- Gentlemen, time is running out.Copy !req
1546. We must come to a decision.Copy !req
1547. "... a good bowl of chili every now and then.Copy !req
1548. I have heard the word 'sir'...Copy !req
1549. more often...Copy !req
1550. than I have heard the word 'friend.'Copy !req
1551. But I suppose...Copy !req
1552. there are other rewards for wealth.Copy !req
1553. I have met with kings
during these conferences.Copy !req
1554. I have suppressed bizarre thoughts.Copy !req
1555. Could I beat him in a foot race?Copy !req
1556. Could I throw a ball further than he?Copy !req
1557. No matter what our facades,
we are all children."Copy !req
1558. What about Chauncey Gardiner?Copy !req
1559. But what do we know of the man?
Absolutely nothing.Copy !req
1560. We don't have an inkling of his past.Copy !req
1561. Correct. That could be an asset.Copy !req
1562. A man's past cripples him.Copy !req
1563. His background turns into a swamp
and invites scrutiny.Copy !req
1564. Up until this time, he hasn't said anything
that can be held against him.Copy !req
1565. The mail and telephone response
from his appearance on that Burns showCopy !req
1566. was the highest they've ever had.Copy !req
1567. And...Copy !req
1568. And it was 95% pro.Copy !req
1569. Well, I'm certainly open to the idea.Copy !req
1570. It would be absolute lunacy to support
the president for another term.Copy !req
1571. That is exactly why I agree
with Ben's final wishes.Copy !req
1572. "I was born into
a position of extreme wealth.Copy !req
1573. And I have spent many sleepless nights...Copy !req
1574. thinking about extreme poverty.Copy !req
1575. I've lived a lot, trembled a lot,Copy !req
1576. was surrounded by little menCopy !req
1577. who forgot that we enter naked
and exit nakedCopy !req
1578. and that no accountant
can audit life in our favor."Copy !req
1579. I do believe, gentlemen, that if we
want to hold on to the presidency...Copy !req
1580. our one and only chanceCopy !req
1581. is Chauncey Gardiner.Copy !req
1582. "When I was a boy, I was told...Copy !req
1583. that the Lord fashioned us
from his own image.Copy !req
1584. That's when I decided
to manufacture mirrors.Copy !req
1585. Security...Copy !req
1586. tranquillity...Copy !req
1587. a well-deserved rest.Copy !req
1588. All the aims I have pursued...Copy !req
1589. will soon be realized.Copy !req
1590. Life...Copy !req
1591. is a state of mind."Copy !req
1592. I understand.Copy !req
1593. Still clear in there, boys?Copy !req
1594. Can you read that?Copy !req
1595. What was the message, Mr. Gardiner?Copy !req
1596. Now get this, honky ̶Copy !req
1597. —Right.Copy !req
1598. Sorry. Carry on.Copy !req
1599. Okay.Copy !req
1600. - Sound speed.
- Marker.Copy !req
1601. - All set?
Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1602. What was the message, Mr. Gardiner?Copy !req
1603. Now get this, honky.Copy !req
1604. You go tell RaphaelCopy !req
1605. that I ain't taking no jive fr ̶Copy !req
1606. Sorry.Copy !req
1607. That I ain't taking no jiveCopy !req
1608. from no Western Union messenger.Copy !req
1609. You tell that asshole, if he ̶Copy !req
1610. - Did you see me going?
- No.Copy !req
1611. Yes. You tell that asshole...Copy !req
1612. - Sound speed.
- Marker.Copy !req
1613. ain't taking no jiveCopy !req
1614. from no Western Union manager ̶Copy !req
1615. messenger.Copy !req
1616. Manager? What am I saying? Sorry.Copy !req
1617. from no Western Union messenger.Copy !req
1618. You tell that asshole,Copy !req
1619. if he got something to tell me,Copy !req
1620. to get his ass down here ̶Copy !req
1621. himself!Copy !req
1622. - Almost.
- Shit!Copy !req
