:55:00
Since they were good and they're still good
they have to be good.
:55:05
And then it wouldn't make any difference
if I hadn't won the Maxford House contest.
:55:10
- Would it?
- Of course it would.
:55:12
- Oh, it would.
- Certainly it would.
:55:15
- Why?
- I'm no genius,
:55:17
I didn't keep my father's money
by backing my own judgment.
:55:21
I make mistakes every day -
I've got a whole warehouse full of mistakes.
:55:26
I should say it would make a difference.
:55:28
You see, I think your ideas are good
because they sound good to me
:55:33
but I know your ideas are good because you
won this contest over millions of aspirants.
:55:38
- But Mr Baxter...
- Call it commercial insurance.
:55:41
When a horse wins the derby
you back him for the breaker.
:55:45
- I didn't win it.
- The breaker?
:55:47
The contest. It was a joke.
:55:50
- A joke?
- That's what they meant it to be.
:55:52
- Who did?
- Some of the fellas.
:55:54
They wanted to see how I'd look
when I got the news.
:55:58
Tell me their names and we'll see
how they look when I give them some news!
:56:02
I wouldn't care to do that, I...
Oh, it doesn't matter.
:56:05
It doesn't matter?
:56:07
After I spent a whole afternoon
listening to a lot of... baloney?
:56:11
Entirely predicated on the winning of
this contest? And giving you this office?
:56:16
- But what about my slogan?
- I don't know, what about it?
:56:20
We'll find that out!
There'll be plenty of time for that.
:56:24
But I won't made a fool of. I can't go around
giving out private offices and secretaries
:56:29
on the strength of a prank
that personally I consider far from funny!
:56:34
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
:56:36
It's gonna be hard to face that gang
tomorrow if I'm back at that desk.
:56:40
It would be just as hard to face them
from in here if you didn't belong here.
:56:46
- He does belong in here.
- What is the joke this time?
:56:49
He belongs in here
because he thinks he does.
:56:52
That's very high-falutin'
but from a practical...
:56:56
It is practical, Mr Baxter.
The most practical idea you ever had.
