They indulge in squalor. They pick
the worst neighbourhoods to live in...

:04:05
eat the worst kind of food
and dress atrociously.

:04:12
That wasn't a smile.
That was a gas pain.

:04:15
How do you feel, buddy?
:04:18
- Depressed.
- You should be the happiest man
in the world.

:04:21
Six weeks you'll be divorced,
and possibly the next Secretary of State.

:04:26
- We'll wait and see.
- Here's the day's paper.

:04:29
"Ogden Mears, multimillionaire,
son of the richest oilman in the world...

:04:33
will be the new
Secretary of State."

:04:37
Let me see that.
:04:44
"Son of the richest oilman in the world."
They won't let you forget it.

:04:48
That's the burden you must carry.
:04:51
Harvey, you're a corrupting influence.
:04:55
Maybe, but I didn't lead you
into politics.

:04:58
- What else is there to do?
- Murder, arson, rape.

:05:00
There's plenty of worthy occupations.
:05:03
- Crawford, sir.
- Come in, Crawford.

:05:07
Just came over the wire.
The President has appointed
Mr Patrick Dowling...

:05:11
- Secretary of State.
- Dowling, huh?
Well, that's show business.

:05:15
- Who the devil is Patrick Dowling?
- Secretary of State.

:05:19
- I'll check for more news.
- Thank you, Crawford.

:05:23
Harvey, I guess you're right. I think
I'll give up trying to save the world.

:05:27
Tonight we're gonna celebrate
Patrick Dowling's appointment.

:05:30
Excuse me, sir.
Mr Clark has telephoned.

:05:35
Mr Clark? Where is he?
:05:37
Up in the lounge.
He says he's on his way down.

:05:40
- Show him here.
- Yes, sir.

:05:44
- Who's Clark?
- He's one of Father's senior directors.

:05:48
A venerable old gentleman.
:05:50
We don't want to get stuck with that
old boy for the rest of the evening.

:05:52
No, I'll get rid of him.
:05:54
Remember you just got over the flu.
Took a long sea voyage
to get away from it all.

:05:58
- We don't want to be
visiting parks and museums.
- Mr Clark, sir.
