:16:00
l'm dining with you next week, Friday.
:16:02
Fine, of course.
:16:03
l'm just dying to see Paula again.
:16:06
l'm sure she's crazy to see you.
:16:08
You were so sweet to her
when she was in London last year.

:16:11
But where are you staying?
:16:13
l'm stopping at the Hotel Versailles.
:16:14
The old Versailles.
:16:16
-O-O-O-O'Brien.
-That's it. Goodbye.

:16:21
Toodly-oo, Lochinvar.
:16:26
What did she call me?
:16:29
Sit down, Dan.
:16:31
- How've you been?
- Just fine.

:16:33
l can only stay a minute.
Running down to Washington.

:16:37
Seems like the President wants
to get down at the bottom of things.

:16:40
The reason l asked you to come over, Dan,
was l wanted to put something up to you.

:16:44
Sure. Go ahead.
:16:46
lt's about the Jordan Line.
:16:48
Say, who put up this building,
Peter Stuyvesant?

:16:51
Looks more like a museum than an office.
:16:54
lt was the last word
when the old gentleman built it.

:16:58
lt's been like this for 75 years.
:16:59
l hope those old tubs of yours
don't date to this office.

:17:04
What do you got on your mind?
:17:07
You know all about our business.
l don't need to go into that.

:17:12
Of course, this Depression
isn't going to last forever.

:17:16
But if it takes a little longer
than we figure...

:17:18
l want to know
if you and your associates...

:17:21
would be in a position
to sort of tide us over.

:17:26
l appreciate that l'd have to turn over
some of my holdings to you.

:17:30
l'd rather not disturb
the other stockholders.

:17:34
l don't know anything
about your business, Jordan.

:17:37
But it looks to me like it's gone to seed.
:17:40
All l have to do is look around this office.
:17:42
To tell you the truth,
l don't think you have much to offer.

:17:45
Now, look here, Packard.
:17:47
Our ships have traveled the ocean
for a century.

:17:49
We started from clipper ships.
:17:51
We're not going to stop.
We're not through.

:17:55
l'm sorry, Jordan. l didn't mean anything.
:17:59
You know, l'm a businessman,
and everybody's bothering you.
