:29:03
Um, some fresh water.
:29:11
And a towel.
Thank you.

:29:13
Never like to bathe
in the same water twice.

:29:18
Neat little trick, isn't it?
:29:22
Pardon me. I couldn't help
overhearing your conversation.

:29:26
- Pardon me, pardon me.
- It's quite all right.

:29:29
Waterbury's my name.
J. Frothingham Waterbury.

:29:32
- Very glad to know you. My name's Sousè.
- How do you do?

:29:36
- Accent grave over the "E."
- Oh, so?

:29:39
I'm in the bond
and stock business.

:29:41
I have 5,000 shares of the Beefsteak Mines
that I want to turn over to your bank.

:29:46
I like this little town, and I want to get
some contacts. I think you're the very man.

:29:51
- These shares are selling
for ten cents a share and...

:30:00
- Ten cents, eh?
- Oh, that's terrible.

:30:03
These shares are selling
for ten cents a share.

:30:06
- A telephone company once sold for five cents a share.
- Five cents?

:30:09
These shares are twice as expensive,
therefore they'll be twice as valuable!

:30:14
- Sure, they will.
- Naturally you're no dunce.

:30:16
The telephone is now listed
at $1.73, and you can't buy it.

:30:21
$3,460 for every nickel
you put into it.

:30:25
The point I'm trying to make
is this...

:30:29
- Huh?
- The point I'm trying to make is:

:30:31
These shares sell for ten cents.
It's simple arithmetic.

:30:35
- If five will get you ten, ten will get you 20!
- Sure.

:30:38
Sixteen cylinder cars. A big home in
the city. Balconies upstairs and down.

:30:43
Home in the country.
Big trees. Private golf course.

:30:47
Stream running through
the rear of the estate.

:30:49
Warm Sunday afternoon
fishing under the cool trees.

:30:52
Sipping ice-cold beer.
:30:55
I can almost see the foam.
:30:57
- Ham and cheese on rye.
- With mustard.
