:41:01
Go ahead. I'm listening.
:41:01
He had a fall down at the well.
Broke his leg. It's in a cast.
:41:04
- Broke his leg?
- What do we do, Walter?
:41:07
- Nothing. Just wait.
- Wait for what?
:41:10
Until he can take a train.
I told you it's got to be a train.
:41:12
But we can't wait.
I can't go on like this.
:41:14
We won't grab a hammer and do it quick,
just to get over it.
:41:16
There are other ways.
:41:18
Only we're not going to do it other ways.
:41:19
But we can't leave it like this.
What do you think would happen...
:41:22
if he found out about this accident policy?
:41:23
Plenty. But not as bad as
sitting in that death-house.
:41:26
Don't ever talk like that.
:41:27
Just don't let's start losing our heads.
:41:29
It's not our heads.
It's our nerve we're losing.
:41:35
Excuse me.
:41:39
We're going to do it right.
That's all I said.
:41:41
It's the waiting that's getting me.
:41:43
It's getting me just as bad, baby.
But we've got to wait.
:41:45
Maybe we have, Walter. Only...
:41:47
it's so tough without you.
:41:49
It's like a wall between us.
:41:52
I better go baby.
I'm thinking of you every minute.
:42:02
After that a full week went by
and I didn't see her once.
:42:06
I tried to keep my mind off her
and off the whole idea.
:42:09
I kept telling myself that maybe those fates...
:42:11
they say watch over you had gotten together
:42:13
and broken his leg to give me a way out.
:42:16
Then it was the 15th of June.
:42:19
You may remember that date, Keyes.
:42:21
You came into my office around 3
in the afternoon...
:42:25
Hello, Keyes.
:42:27
I just came from Norton's office.
:42:28
The semi-annual sales records are out.
You're high man, Walter.
:42:31
- That's twice in a row. Congratulations.
- Thanks.
:42:34
How would you like a cheap drink?
:42:35
How would you like a $50 cut in salary?
:42:38
Do I laugh now,
or wait until it gets funny?
:42:40
I'm serious, Walter.
I've been talking to Norton.
:42:42
There's too much stuff piling up on my desk.
Too much pressure on my nerves.
:42:45
I spend half the night walking up and down in my bed.
I've got to have an assistant.
:42:48
- I thought that you...
- Me? Why pick on me?
:42:51
Because I've got a crazy idea
you might be good at the job.
:42:53
That's crazy all right.
I'm a salesman.
:42:55
Yeah. A peddler,
a glad-hander, a back-slapper.
:42:58
- You're too good to be a salesman.
- Nobody's too good to be a salesman.
