: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.
:57:00
He belongs in here
because he thinks he has ideas.
:57:03
He belongs in here
until he proves himself or fails
:57:06
and then somebody else
until he proves himself or fails
:57:10
and so on and so on for always.
:57:13
I don't know how to put it into words
like Jimmy could but...
:57:17
all he wants, all any of them want,
is a... is a chance to show...
:57:21
To find out what they've got
while they're still young
:57:25
and... and burning like
a short cut or a stepping stone.
:57:30
I know they're not gonna succeed,
at least most of them aren't.
:57:34
Most of them will be
like Mr Waterbury soon enough.
:57:37
But they won't mind it, they'll be happy
because they had their chance.
:57:42
Because it's one thing
to muff a chance when you get it but...
:57:46
it's another thing
never to have had a chance.
:57:51
And his name's already on the door.
:57:55
Well, if anything decided me
that would be it.
:57:58
- Oh, Mr Baxter...
- You've talked enough.
