1:37:01
Now, about our date for tonight...
1:37:03
I'll meet you on the pier again
right after the show.
1:37:07
I'm afraid not. l can't make it tonight.
1:37:12
Not tomorrow either. l have to leave.
1:37:14
Something unexpected came up.
I'm sailing right away.
1:37:18
Where to?
1:37:20
South America?
1:37:23
That is unexpected.
1:37:26
You see, we have
these oil interests in Venezuela.
1:37:29
l just got a cable from Dad. The board
of directors have decided on a merger.
1:37:33
A merger? How long will you be gone?
1:37:38
Quite a while.
1:37:40
As a matter of fact,
I'm not coming back at all.
1:37:43
You're not?
1:37:45
Well, it's all rather complicated.
What we call high finance.
1:37:49
lt just so happens the president of the
Venezuelan oil syndicate has a daughter...
1:37:53
Oh. That kind of merger.
1:37:57
What is she like?
1:37:59
According to our tax adviser,
she's only so-so.
1:38:01
But that's the way the oil gushes.
1:38:03
A man in my position
has a responsibility to the stockholders.
1:38:07
All those little people
who have invested their life savings.
1:38:10
Of course. l understand.
At least, l think l do.
1:38:14
l knew you would. l only wish there
was something l could do for you.
1:38:20
But you have. You've given me
all that inside information.
1:38:24
Tomorrow I'm gonna call my broker
1:38:25
and have him buy me
50,000 shares of Venezuelan oil.
1:38:29
Smart move.
1:38:31
By the way, did you get my flowers?
1:38:34
You know, those orchids
from my greenhouse?
1:38:36
The fog finally lifted over Long lsland
and they flew them down this morning.
1:38:40
That's strange. l sent 'em to your room.
1:38:46
They should have been delivered by now.
1:38:51
Hey, Dolores, will you see
if there's any flowers outside?
