1:10:01
- l personally think the Bible.
- That's right.
That's what most people say.
1:10:04
Mmm. l have one that l wouldn't
part with for years for nothin'.
1:10:09
- Yeah.
- l've had it for years and years...
1:10:12
that, uh,
1:10:15
belonged to my mother-in-law,
and l don't know where she got it from.
1:10:18
I have the old family Bible.
I bet it's over 200 years old.
1:10:22
Well, l'd say close
to a hundred, anyway.
1:10:25
Oh, no. By no means, ever part
with a Bible. I had one myself.
1:10:28
ln fact, uh,
1:10:31
my husband said his mother read to him
every single day out of that Bible.
1:10:35
- Well, as I say, sentimental
value attached to it.
- That's something.
1:10:40
Well, I could see where
you would choose the Bible,
and I'll tell you the reason why.
1:10:45
That's why the Bible
is the best seller in the world.
1:10:47
Hmm, well, actually, l can't see buying
another Bible when l already have one.
1:10:52
Even though
it's 200 years old?
1:10:54
Well, you're probably tight now.
Is that correct ?
1:10:57
- Oh, that's for sure. [ Sighs ]
- Yeah.
1:10:59
Well, as they say, it's
the only thing that I know...
1:11:01
that you secure in a lifetime
that doesn't depreciate.
1:11:05
A car, after three years,
is worth nothing.
1:11:09
A Bible like that
will build you something...
1:11:11
that will really build up
a heritage in the home.
1:11:14
- lt is a beautiful book.
- Isn't it beautiful?
I know you love it.
1:11:18
Honest to goodness, Mrs. O'Connor,
I've been in the Bible business now--
1:11:21
The reason I'm in it, I know
I'm placing something in the home...
1:11:24
that people will never
be dissatisfied.
1:11:26
The longer they have it,
the more they will enjoy it.
1:11:29
It's like a good wine--
with age it improves.
1:11:34
And they don't repossess the Bible, if
one month you don't mail in the payment.
1:11:39
You mail in the payment
the following month, that's all.
1:11:42
[ Girl Chattering In Background ]
1:11:51
All right, Maureen.
You've been on that phone long enough.
1:11:54
And if you didn't like it, Mrs.
O'Connor, I wouldn't spend the time.
1:11:57
But most of the people that l do place
it with are with the lrish people...
