:06:03
The first days of spring
always affect me this way.

:06:05
Oh. Oh, Griggs. Uh, will you please
have this record sent to Miss Andre?

:06:10
- And who is sending the record?
- I am, of course.

:06:13
Yeah. I'm aware of that, Jervis,
but in which incarnation are you sending it?

:06:16
Jekyll or Hyde?
UncleJervis or Daddy Longlegs?

:06:19
Jervis Pendleton, and you can leave off
the "uncle," if you don't mind.

:06:25
What you're looking for
is in the personal file.

:06:27
Thank you, Griggs.
:06:33
"Dear Daddy Longlegs, l-"
:06:37
"I'm- I met
Linda's UncleJervis.

:06:39
He seemed very nice."
:06:41
"He seemed very nice."
:06:44
"He seemed very nice."
:06:50
"But an awful thing has happened.
Oh, not to me, but toJimmy McBride.

:06:53
"He's had a dreadful
disappointment.

:06:55
He was all set to go to South Africa
as a mining engineer when the project blew up."

:07:00
"lmagine. Only about a month
from graduation...

:07:03
"and he considers himself
a failure.

:07:05
"If he would follow my advice,
he'd stay in this country...

:07:08
"and work in his father's
overalls factory.

:07:10
But he hates it."
:07:12
Hmm. "I can't tell you
how miserable I feel for him."

:07:18
- Griggs.
- Yes, Jervis.

:07:20
- Would you come here a moment, please?
- I'll be right there.

:07:23
"He was all set to go to South Africa as
a mining engineer when the project blew up."

:07:30
Uh, Griggs, I'd like to do something
for a young chap I know.

:07:33
Name's McBride.
Brilliant mining engineer.

:07:35
Do we have an opening for him?
:07:37
Well, our New Jersey lab
can always use a bright young man.

:07:40
No, no. Not- Not, uh- Not New Jersey.
He- He's the adventurous type.

:07:43
He- He'd want to go far away.
You know, see the world kind of thing.

:07:47
I see. Someplace
out of the country, eh?

:07:49
He'd sign up for a year's contract.
As a matter of fact, he wants to.

:07:52
He's a good man.
Very highly recommended.

:07:53
- By whom?
- By-

:07:55
By me. l- I, uh- I met him at
that college dance recently.
