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.
1:12:00
He wants me to fix it so that he can see
this Dory with his own eyes.
1:12:04
- See her?
- Yeah, that's all.
1:12:08
That's all he wants,
an absolute, blown-in-the-glass clincher.
1:12:12
Oh.
1:12:14
"Oh" is right.
1:12:16
I think somebody must have sold his mother
a wooden nutmeg.
1:12:19
Yeah, that's the way he is.
1:12:21
We should have expected
something like this.
1:12:24
You don't have a picture of this Dory dame
in your files anyplace, do you?
1:12:28
No, but it shouldn't
be too difficult to get one.
1:12:31
He has them in every room
of his house.
1:12:33
Yeah.
1:12:35
Well, I've got the tabernacle anyway,
no matter what happens.
1:12:38
- How much did he give you?
- 150 grand.
1:12:43
Feels like it's in cash.
1:12:45
It is.
He asked me to take it that way.
1:12:47
He said if I used his name,
he'd deny it.
1:12:49
- Why?
- Well, you don't think the old geezer...
1:12:52
wants Mrs. Peabody or any of the others
to know that...
1:12:54
that's how he got me to turn down
that old firetrap that she was gonna give me.
1:12:57
- You got anyplace to stash it?
- I have a jewel safe.
