:50:03
As you and I both know,
this is a very fine rifle.
:50:06
However, once again,
you have blundered...
:50:09
...both in regard to the stock dimensions
and the recoil pad.
:50:14
How long will these mistakes
be repeated?
:50:17
I am the president
of the United States.
:50:19
I see no reason why an American
president can't get satisfaction...
:50:22
...from an American gun maker!
:50:24
What must I do for a proper fitting?
Go to England?
:50:27
- I should hope not.
- No, sir.
:50:30
Why are you standing there
like that, young man?
:50:33
Speak up. This is a government,
not a rest home.
:50:35
- What is it?
- Your bear, sir.
:50:36
- My bear? What bear?
- Your grizzly bear, sir.
:50:38
Oh, the Smithsonian! Yes, you have
the sketches. Thank you. Let's see.
:50:44
Let's see these.
Oh, I'm sorry. That won't do.
:50:47
No, that's... No, that's all wrong.
That's terrible. And that one...
:50:53
You see, what's wrong here,
young man, is the position.
:50:56
You've made this fine specimen
of a grizzly look like a hairy cow.
:51:00
Now, would you like to be portrayed as
a hairy cow if you were a grizzly bear?
:51:04
Perhaps the president
had a position in mind.
:51:06
Certainly. There you are.
Now watch.
:51:10
The American grizzly must always
be portrayed in a fighting stance.
:51:13
That's the sort of animal he is,
upright, rampant, on his two hind feet.
:51:17
His great forepaws extended like that.
Teeth bared, clawing, growling.
:51:24
Understand?
Would you like to sketch that?
:51:26
- Take a photograph.
- Good. Ready?
:51:28
- Growl again, Father.
- You like that?
:51:33
See that he gets a copy.
:51:35
Now, where was I with Winchester?
:51:38
"What must I do for a proper fitting?
Need I go to England?"
:51:43
Oh, that's all right the way it is.
Send it out.
:51:46
What must a man do, anyway,
to get a proper-fitting rifle?
:51:49
You can bet that Raisuli fellow's
got a rifle that fits him.
:51:52
Those people know the value
of a good weapon.
:51:56
- The rifle is the very soul of the Arab.
- Raisuli's a Berber, Mr. President.
