:32:00
Thanks, Mr. Lamb.
:32:05
You know, Mom,
I can't heIp Iiking oId Mr. Lamb.

:32:09
He seems so honest and friendIy.
:32:11
He didn't say anything
about raising your father's saIary, did he?

:32:14
No, I'II bet he didn't.
:32:15
That's why I want VirgiI to Ieave that pIace.
:32:18
But, Mother, what couId Dad do at his age?
:32:20
He couId do what I've wanted him to do
for the Iast 20 years.

:32:23
What's that?
:32:24
He doesn't want me to speak of it to you,
but you may as weII know.

:32:29
Your father has invented a secret formuIa
for making the best gIue in the worId.

:32:34
The best what?
:32:36
GIue, for sticking things together.
:32:38
Your father and another man
invented it years ago...

:32:41
...when your father
first went to work for Mr. Lamb.

:32:44
Now the other man's dead
so the formuIa beIongs to your father.

:32:47
At Ieast it beIongs to him
as much as it does to anybody eIse.

:32:50
Yes, but even if it does,
what good wouId it do him? He can't seII it.

:32:54
WeII, he couId start up a factory
and make the gIue and seII that.

:32:58
Mom, that's nonsense.
:32:59
Why, Dad's never even seen enough money
to start a factory.

:33:03
I'm afraid you're daydreaming, darIing.
:33:38
Miss Adams.
:33:43
This is a coincidence.
I've been hoping I'd meet you.

:33:45
Why, Mr. RusseII.
:33:48
I've just been embarking
on the most irksome duty.

:33:51
I have to hire a new secretary for Father.
:33:53
He's been quite iII, poor man,
and now that he's better...

:33:55
...and going back to work,
he'II need a second girI.

:33:58
Can't you Iet it wait for another time?
