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.

:52:00
Well, it goes double for Berbers.
:52:03
- What sort of rifle does he use?
- I don't know, sir.

:52:05
Send him a cablegram. Find out what
kind of weapon the old bastard uses.

:52:10
I think you're the best shot
that's ever occupied the office, sir.

:52:13
Oh, I don't know. Andrew Jackson
back there was quite a shot.

:52:17
Carried a brace of pistols
all the time, you know.

:52:19
Shot a fellow right off the porch,
right out there.

:52:22
Caned another one to death.
:52:55
Admiral Chadwick, I presume.
I'm Vice Consul Richard Dreighton.

:52:58
- Ray.
- Admiral. It's certainly good to see you.
