:44:02
Look, Mr Maxwell,
:44:04
I'm only the mayor, see?
:44:05
Now, if it was up to me, I'd make you
a free gift of all the bus rides to this city.
:44:11
I think you run a beautiful bus.
:44:14
I travel on them myself.
:44:17
And I'll be genuinely sorry
to see them disappear from our streets.
:44:21
Disappear?
:44:23
But there must be some way,
:44:25
some solution of mutual satisfaction.
:44:29
I don't know how to talk to a mayor,
:44:32
but if I could only persuade you that...
:44:35
You can't persuade me, Mr Maxwell.
:44:38
Because it's entirely out of my hands.
:44:41
But I'll tell you what I'll do.
:44:43
Just for old times' sake, I'll send
the chairman of the bus committee up,
:44:47
and if you can persuade him,
it's all right with me.
:44:50
Is he er...
:44:52
difficult to persuade?
:44:54
Well, he probably ain't impossible.
:44:58
- Glad to see you looking so well.
- But, Mr Mayor, can't we...
:45:02
Drop in again some time.
We'll go to a game. Do you like baseball?
:45:05
- I'm not a fan, by any means.
- That's where you make your mistake.
:45:09
You worry too much about business
and contracts and the flaws in them.
:45:14
Get out, fill your lungs with fresh air,
forget your troubles.
:45:17
- But let me...
- Look at that crowd.
:45:19
- How many people do you think there were?
- I haven't an idea.
:45:22
Look again.
How many people do you think there are?
:45:25
- 10,000.
- Guess again.
:45:27
- 20,000.
- You're not even warm, Mr Maxwell.
:45:31
Well...
:45:32
Oh.
:45:34
You mean it's more like 40,000?
:45:36
That's more like it. But that ain't it.
:45:38
Mr Mayor, about that flaw you mentioned.
:45:41
There's no flaw in that photograph,
Mr Maxwell. It's perfect.
:45:44
What was your last guess?
:45:48
50,000.
:45:49
(Laughs)
:45:51
There were 75,000 people in that stadium.
:45:54
Ain't that wonderful?
:45:56
75,000 filling their lungs
with nature's own sunshine.
