The volume, 11,850,000 shares.
The average issues up —

:35:04
The more secretive you are
about your life...

:35:06
the more it arouses
people's interest.

:35:09
We've had some chemistry professor
from Chicago...

:35:12
who's been calling and writing.
:35:14
That's not so terrible, Mr. Farnsworth.
:35:17
- Why don't you talk to him? Don't be unfriendly.
:35:21
- Mary-Lou.
- 686 issues up. 568 down.

:35:24
My life is not secret, Mr. Farnsworth,
but it is private.

:35:27
Among the most actives today is Worid Enterprises.
:35:30
Up five points on the day,
trading over 300,000 shares.

:35:33
Wall Street analysts
and company officials report...

:35:35
they know of no reason
for the sudden interest —

:35:42
For a whole year
I concentrated equally on two things:

:35:45
Fucking and Worid Enterprises.
:35:47
It was neck and neck.
Well, I have to admit that l—

:35:51
It began to look like Canutti was right
because Worid Enterprises...

:35:55
was evasive and slow to reply
to my persistent letters and calls and—

:36:00
Suddenly, I got this letter
from Farnsworth.

:36:04
I'd landed a job in the research department
of the fuel division.

:36:08
Strangely, after that...
:36:10
I gradually began to lose my interest
in 18-year-olds.

:36:13
I don't know what happened to me.
I'm not sure.

:36:16
But my mind had developed
a libido of its own...

:36:19
and I didn't need the stimulation oflegs
and so forth.

:36:25
The salary was terrific too.
:36:27
It was three times
what I'd been getting.

:36:30
The first thing I did
is I ordered a French car.

:36:33
This upset Canutti
more than anything else.

:36:37
Last time I remember
feeling so exhilarated...

:36:39
was 10 years back when I'd been
experimenting with heat photography.

:36:43
It came to nothing, of course,
because academia got in the way.

:36:46
But this time...
:36:48
I knew I was gonna be given
a proper chance.

:36:51
And you know how I knew that?
Because I had faith in myself.

:36:56
What I didn't know then...
:36:58
was someone else
had faith in me as well.
