:32:02
Yes, I know.
:32:04
-You're in business in New York, Mr. Case?
-Yes, sir. I'm with Sloan and Hobson.
:32:09
An excellent firm.
:32:10
-A born New Yorker?
-No, no. I was born in Baltimore.
:32:13
July 6, 1908. I'm 30.
:32:15
I used to have a lot of good friends
in Baltimore.
:32:19
Let me see.
The Whites, the Clarence Whites.
:32:23
-Possibly you knew them?
-I don't believe I ever did.
:32:26
-No? And there was Archer Fuller's family.
-I'm afraid not.
:32:30
Let me see, Colonel Evans, old Philip Evans.
:32:34
No.
:32:36
I haven't been there in some years and,
well, I wouldn't know them anyway.
:32:39
You see, my father
had a small grocery store in Baltimore.
:32:43
Yes. He never made a go of it though...
:32:45
...and when he died he left several debts
which Mother worked hard to clear up.
:32:49
I was just a child at the time
and I couldn't help her very much.
:32:52
Mother died the May
before my 16th birthday.
:32:56
How sad.
:32:58
Yes, it was pretty sad.
:33:00
I hadn't any connections
except for an uncle...
:33:02
...who's in the roofing business
in Wilmington.
:33:04
He wasn't much good, though.
He was inclined to get drunk. Still is.
:33:08
We have an uncle
like that but he keeps off roofs.
:33:11
Mother had wanted me
to go to a big Eastern college...
:33:14
...so I worked my way through Harvard.
:33:17
In vacations, I worked in a steel mill
and in an automobile factory.
:33:20
One summer I drove a garbage truck.
:33:23
Admirable.
:33:24
No, they simply happened
to be the only jobs I could get...
:33:27
...but you can learn a lot in a steel mill,
a lot you don't get at Harvard.
:33:32
Anything else, sir?
:33:35
I beg your pardon?
:33:36
I should think you would.
:33:39
Is there anything else
you'd like to know about me?
:33:42
Why, that is....
:33:45
Well, Mr. Seton, how about it?
:33:47
-About it? About what?
-About Julia and me, getting married.
:33:51
Why, this is a complete surprise to me.
:33:53
I hardly know what to say to you.
:33:56
-Well, "yes" would be pleasant.
-I'm sure it would.
