: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.

:06:03
Ogden, my dear boy,
I haven't seen you since
you were in swaddling clothes.

:06:07
I must say you're
the replica of your father.

:06:10
Uh, Mr Clark, may I present
my friend Harvey Crothers?

:06:14
How do you do?
I beg your pardon.
Well, sir.

:06:18
Hudson tells me you're under the weather
and here I am ready to show you the town.

:06:24
I think perhaps I better stay
inside and just take things easy.

:06:28
Of course, my dear boy.
I'll not disturb you.

:06:32
But before I go, I'd like to introduce
some very dear friends of mine.

:06:35
They're waiting in the lounge.
:06:37
Well, certainly. Hudson, would you show
Mr Clark's friends in?

:06:42
- They're alone in the lounge.
You can't miss them.
- Yes, sir.

:06:46
Well, Ogden, too bad you're not
up to scratch. I was looking
forward to showing you around.

:06:51
Yes, well, I'm disappointed.
I was reading about it
and it sounds fascinating.

:06:54
- The botanical gardens and museums...
- Oh, dear me, dear me.

:06:59
Botanical gardens? Ha, ha, ha!
I think we can do better than that.
