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.

1:11:51
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...
1:12:00
because they are very devout
Catholics, you know that.
1:12:02
- Oh, but I'm not Irish. [ Laughing ]
- lt doesn't make any difference.
1:12:05
- Are you not lrish descent ?
What descent are you, dear ?
- No. Polish.
1:12:08
- Polish ? Well,
the Polish are good people.
- Oh, yes.
1:12:10
l know a lot of good Polish people.
They're very devout Catholics.
lt doesn't make any difference.
1:12:14
But the lrish l happen
to place an awful lot with,
because l'm of lrish heritage myself.
1:12:20
But as l said before,
don't think--
1:12:23
In Worcester, I had
all the Polish section there.
1:12:25
Believe you me, we placed more Bibles
than you could shake a stick at.
1:12:31
- Everything in this life
is a sacrifice, all right ?
- Oh, that's for sure.
1:12:39
How about six months from now ?
1:12:42
Who knows
what six months is gonna bring ?
1:12:44
Well, nobody knows what the next day
is gonna come. You know this--
1:12:47
That's why l don't want to take
the chance of committing myself.
1:12:51
It wouldn't be too much of a chance.
It involves $49.95 for the Bible.
1:12:55
And that's not much,
you know what I mean ?
1:12:57
A carton of cigarettes a week
costs you three dollars.
