:40:02
Thas terrible.
:40:07
Mr. Luffler, since you hired
Lonesome Rhodes...
:40:10
up to an including yesterday,
our sales have increased 55º/º.
:40:14
I smell smoke.
:40:19
I know he's hurt your feelings, but
as a merchandise man I must say...
:40:23
that a 55º/º jump in sales
is quite a painkiller.
:40:27
- I'll think it over.
- You called for me?
:40:29
Yes.
I can always get him back!
:40:32
For the credit department.
:40:34
Yes, sir.
:40:36
Joey...
:40:38
You're a smart lad.
:40:40
Do you think I acted hasty
in firing him?
:40:43
I wouldn't let anyone
ridicule my product.
:40:46
Your wife on one.
:40:49
Yes, dear?
:40:51
Would you mind
your own business dear?
:40:53
Would you tell the Ladies' Garden
Club to mind its own business?
:40:57
Credit department. Get me Browning,
Schlegel and McNally in New York.
:41:01
Don't worry, is kosher, Luffler
gave me a message for them.
:41:04
Do you know the number?
:41:05
Is the biggest ad agency
in New York.
:41:08
Browning, Schlegel and McNally,
try information.
:41:12
Browning, Schlegel and McNally,
long distance from Memphis?
:41:15
Just a moment.
:41:17
A Mr. Joseph De Palma, from Memphis,
he represents Lonesome Rhodes.
:41:22
Is a crazy business we're in.
:41:24
This is about some joker called
Lonesome Rhodes on a local Memphis...
:41:30
Hey, he topped both CBS and NBC
down there.
:41:35
Hello. Mr. De Palma?
:41:38
Hello, I just thought
I'd let you know...
:41:40
that Lonesome Rhodes
is being flooded with offers.
:41:45
If you happen to be interested,
5 o'clock is our deadline.
:41:50
All right.
I'll call you back at five.
:41:52
Five. Well, my pleasure.
:41:56
I caught that show on my vacation,
he's a living doll.
