:14:00
You are to stand by for a call from Atlanta.
:14:03
They must have gotten my teletype
about the Russian deal.
:14:07
- It went good?
- Good? Look at this.
:14:09
All virgin territory.
300 million thirsty comrades.
:14:13
Volga boatmen and Cossacks,
Ukrainians and Outer Mongolians.
:14:19
Do you realise what it means?
:14:21
- The stock, it will go up?
- I'll go up.
:14:23
Head of all European operations,
headquarters in London.
:14:27
- May I be the first to congratulate you?
- Should have had that job five years ago.
:14:32
But I got loused up by Benny Goodman.
:14:35
- Benny Goodman?
- I was in charge of the whole Middle East.
:14:38
Nine countries,
15 bottling plants all facing Mecca.
:14:42
Goodman and his band were
coming through on a goodwill tour.
:14:46
30,000 people showed up for the concert.
:14:48
But Benny didn't.
His plane was delayed by a sandstorm.
:14:51
So the mob marched
on the American embassy.
:14:54
So they burned down the Coca-Cola plant.
:14:57
You know it.
:14:59
There was a rhubarb at the home office
and I was exiled to South America.
:15:04
Schlepping that syrup
over the Andes on llamas
:15:07
while kids were being promoted
over my head.
:15:10
But you are in Berlin now.
This is not the doghouse.
:15:13
I used to have nine countries.
Now I've got half a city.
:15:17
But... ha-ha! MacNamara rides again.
:15:20
I'll be the white-haired boy now.
I'm going all the way.
:15:24
Yes?
:15:25
It's Atlanta.
:15:26
Hello, Mr Hazeltine? Yes, I can hear you.
:15:29
- I'm fine. How are you?
- If you must know, I'm miserable.
:15:33
Those damn magnolias are
in bloom again and so is my hay fever.
:15:37
MacNamara, there's something
I'd like to discuss with you.
:15:40
I thought you would. You got my teletype?
:15:43
It's right here in front of me.
Those figures for May are not bad at all.
:15:47
Thank you, sir.
And how about the Russian deal?
:15:49
Napoleon blew it, Hitler blew it,
but Coca-Cola's gonna pull it off.
:15:53
Forget it. We are not interested in
doing business behind the Iron Curtain.
:15:58
We're not interested in Russia?
