Grand Hotel, 820.
:44:05
Grand Hotel, good morning.
Who is calling Mme. Grusinskaya?
:44:10
Mr. Pimenov.
Mme. Grusinskaya cannot be disturbed.
:44:14
Mr. Preysing's calls to 162 for the day.
:44:17
- 162.
- The conference room.
:44:19
That is interesting.
:44:20
A man in the textile industry
must know Manchester.
:44:23
There's a lot of business to be done
with the Manchester Cotton Company.
:44:27
They have the whole English market
right in their hands.
:44:30
Have you any connections
with Manchester?
:44:32
We have a lot of good connections
in England.
:44:35
- Actually...
- I mean, with the Manchester people.
:44:38
Please, we are here to discuss the merger.
Let us begin at the beginning.
:44:41
- Yes.
- Thank you.
:44:42
Is Baron von Geigern in?
:44:47
Too bad.
:44:48
Since June 11 this year,
when the first negotiation...
:44:51
I met him yesterday.
:44:53
...between our respective firms...
:44:55
Ive got a date.
:44:57
...that this merger can result...
:44:58
About 5:00.
:45:00
...all of us.
- Dancing.
:45:01
- All we want to know about is Manchester.
- Just a second.
:45:05
Before I get through,
Im laying before you here...
:45:07
the last general statement of the concern.
:45:09
The capital, the plant, the machinery...
:45:12
For instance, we'll take mop rags.
:45:17
- I'll call you back.
- All we want to know about is Manchester.
:45:20
Yes, Mr. Preysing,
that's what we want to know.
:45:22
I would rather wait for Justice Zinnowitz...
:45:25
before I commit myself, please.
:45:28
Now, to go ahead with the merger.
:45:33
You realize...
:45:34
that this merger is a great advantage
to the Saxonians, of course.
:45:38
Now, let's talk like adults.
:45:40
- When you first approached us...
- We did not approach you.
:45:44
This letter filed on September 15
indicates you approached us.
:45:47
That letter is a response
to a tentative feeler sent out by you.
:45:50
- Please.
- Tentative, my foot!
:45:52
A month before this,
your old father-in-law...
:45:54
- comes to me privately, and scratches...
- Scratched?
:45:58
- Why, we did not take the initiative!
- You did...
