:26:08
- A peculiar boy.
- Yes.
:26:09
So, uh, you're
in the leather business, huh?
:26:13
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
You see, Mr. Tanner...
:26:16
very few people realize
what leather really is...
:26:19
and what it means to mankind.
:26:22
It's leather
in the time of war...
:26:24
furnishes our horses
with harness...
:26:25
to pull the cannons,
to conquer our enemies.
:26:28
Where would Napoleon
have been...
:26:31
without leather
to make a saddle?
:26:32
Heh. Why, he would've been
riding bareback.
:26:35
And then think of shoes.
:26:38
Could we walk through
snow and slush barefoot?
:26:40
- No!
- No!
:26:42
Could we walk
through the desert barefoot?
:26:43
- No!
- No! A thousand times no!
:26:47
Why, shoes are the greatest
things in the world.
:26:51
Heh, we should thank heaven
for shoes, Mr. Tanner.
:26:55
Quite so, quite so.
:26:57
Say, you seem
to have made a study of it.
:27:00
Oh, well, heh, I am studying
one thing or another...
:27:03
most of the time, heh.
:27:05
Where do you make
your headquarters?
:27:06
Hmm? Oh, uh,
oh, practically anywhere.
:27:09
Oh, quite a globe trotter.
:27:11
We're leaving ourselves
by the end of the week.
:27:14
I don't suppose,
by any chance...
:27:15
that you'll be going back
to America on the same boat?
:27:18
Uh, well, yes, and no.
:27:21
You see, the fact is...
:27:26
I thought I heard a bell.
:27:27
So did I.
:27:28
Oh, well, you hear
a lot of funny things...
:27:30
down here in the tropics.
:27:32
Mosquitoes and dragons
and bananas and...
:27:38
Oh, pardon me.
:27:40
Uh, yes? Yes.
:27:42
Yes, ye... no! No.
:27:45
Yes, now,
as I was about to say...
:27:49
No, no, I don't want to hear
anything further about it.
:27:51
No...
:27:54
Well, uh, now, uh...
:27:55
there is, uh...
yes, uh, there's just a chance.
:27:58
That's a way out.
