: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.

:31:00
- Yeah.
- We have plenty of mustard at the house.

:31:03
And then this guy comes up the shady
drive in an armored car from a bank.

:31:07
And he dumps
a whole basket of coupons...

:31:10
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
right in your lap.

:31:14
And he says, "Sign here, please,
on the dotted line. "

:31:17
I'll have a fountain pen
by that time.

:31:19
And then he's off
to the soft chirping...

:31:21
of our feathered friends
in the arboreal dell.

:31:25
- That's what these bonds mean.
- They do, eh?

:31:27
I'd rather part with my dear old grandmother's
paisley shawl or her wedding ring...

:31:31
than to part with these bonds.
:31:34
It must be tough to lose
a paisley shawl.

:31:38
Thank you.
That's fine.

:31:40
- Gosh! Oh, pardon my language.
- It's all right.

:31:43
- I swear sometimes myself.
- I feel like a dog.

:31:46
But it's now or never.
It must be done, so take it or leave it.

:31:51
- I'll take it.
- Fine, fine, fine!

:31:56
- Meet me down at the bank in about an hour.
- Certainly! My card.

:31:59
Thanks.
