He simpIy must have
Iots of food to keep his strength up.

1:17:05
I don't see why most businessmen
can't Ieave most of the detaiIs...

1:17:09
...to their empIoyees, but then
I suppose some of them are Iike that.

1:17:12
They just aIIow their heIp to sit around idIe
whiIe they do aII the work.

1:17:24
Then, of course,
there's the other type of businessman...

1:17:27
...who drives his empIoyees
and invents things for them to do...

1:17:30
...if there's nothing eIse,
because he hates to see peopIe idIe.

1:17:33
-Which category do you faII into, Arthur?
-I don't know.

1:17:36
I'm sure not the Iast. You're probabIy
the idoI of your office boys and secretaries.

1:17:41
Secretaries, AIice?
1:17:43
You know, I may be needing one soon.
1:17:45
Never thought I'd one day
be having one of my own.

1:17:50
Sort of gives a man a feeIing of importance,
don't it?

1:17:54
Yes, it certainIy does, sir.
1:17:58
Have some sugar in your coffee, Arthur?
1:18:02
No, thank you.
1:18:07
WaIter. You know Mr. RusseII.
1:18:10
Hi.
1:18:13
Pardon me.
I guess my boy wants to see me.

1:18:17
WaIter's such a funny boy.
So abrupt and unexpected.

1:18:21
But then, of course,
you know that about him.

1:18:24
I guess aII taIented peopIe
are a bit pecuIiar.

1:18:26
It's part of their charm, reaIIy.
1:18:30
What are your taIents, Arthur?
1:18:31
Can you pIay any instruments
or sing or paint?

1:18:35
Or perhaps you have some secret hobby
that derives its chief charm...

1:18:39
...from just being secret.
1:18:41
Something you keep to yourseIf
and don't Iike to taIk about.

1:18:44
Why you dang IittIe idiot.
1:18:45
ReaIIy, I....
1:18:46
Perhaps I'd better go see
if WaIter's had his dinner.

1:18:48
If you'II excuse me.
1:18:50
I couIdn't heIp it, it just turned out wrong,
that's aII.

1:18:52
You couIdn't heIp it?
Who couId heIp it? TeII me that.

1:18:56
It just happened, that's aII.
It just happened.
