1:10:00
Do you think you could arrange for me
to see him privately?

1:10:04
I don't see why not. It's obvious
we can't get anywhere with Mrs. Peabody.

1:10:08
- Well, get him on the phone now.
- Very well.

1:10:12
I'll talk to him.
1:10:24
Stan?
1:10:26
Shh. Quit yelling.
Turn off that boat.

1:10:33
Well, how'd you come out
with Grindle?

1:10:35
Ah. No wonder he's the head
of one of the biggest outfits in the country.

1:10:37
You didn't let him
scare you off.

1:10:39
Sit down.
I wish you'd been there.

1:10:41
He came in like a lion
and went out like a lamb.

1:10:44
What happened?
1:10:46
Well, he started off by throwing
the district attorney at me.

1:10:48
He was going to
have me investigated.

1:10:51
He said that the things I told Mrs. Peabody
about her daughter...

1:10:53
anybody could have found out
just by looking through the newspaper files.

1:10:56
I wish you could have seen his face
when I started slipping him the stuff...

1:10:59
you gave me about his past.
1:11:01
Especially when I asked him if there was
anything in the newspaper files...

1:11:04
about his still being in love with some dame
that's been dead for 35 years.

1:11:08
And when I called her Dory,
1:11:11
that put the old boy
right on the carpet.

1:11:13
Have you got a cigarette?
1:11:16
- And he really did go for it?
- Go for it?

1:11:18
He stood there
and shook like a leaf.

1:11:20
Came apart
like a broken doll.

1:11:23
Crawled on his hands and knees to me and
begged me to get some message from this Dory.

1:11:28
Mm. Thank you.
1:11:32
But I told him he wasn't ready yet
for spiritual communion.

1:11:35
He should prepare himself a little more
with prayer and good works.

1:11:38
Well, he came back in about two hours
with a whole lot of good works.

1:11:43
He gave me enough to start building
the finest tabernacle in the country.

1:11:46
- Well, what's wrong with that?
- Nothing. Nothing at all.

1:11:49
And he's going to buy me
a radio station of my own.

1:11:52
A radio station?
1:11:54
Yeah. But...
1:11:58
there's a big "if" to it.
