Do you know her?
:28:09
No, I thought you did.
:28:12
Well, she better have
one hell of a deep voice.

:28:18
Good afternoon, I'm Lila French.
Which of you is David Anderson?

:28:21
-I am.
-Very pleased to meet you. Lila French.

:28:24
-You must be Mr. Durrell.
-Manuel Durrell.

:28:26
Pleased to meet you.
:28:28
I must say, this is the most interesting
offer we've had in a long time.

:28:32
-I'm dying to discuss it. I'm curious.
-Oh, yes. We must discuss it.

:28:37
-We have to.
-Needless to say, your note made my day.

:28:43
-What was in it?
-In your note?

:28:45
We agreed in principle, you know.
But his secretary--

:28:48
See, Manny has never read it...
:28:50
...and I was wondering
if you'd let us-- Let him read it.

:28:54
Oh, by all means!
:28:57
Oh, let me read it.
May I? I love it.

:29:00
It's inspiring.
It's more like a poem.

:29:03
Well, old Dave
always was better with words.

:29:06
-How did he put it to us?
-He put it beautifully.

:29:10
-I'm sure he did.
-Here's the beautiful part.

:29:13
"We will dedicate
eight hours a day, five days a week...

:29:17
...for six weeks, to your
community improvement center...

:29:21
...free of charge.
:29:24
If at the end of six weeks
our work has been helpful...

:29:27
...and the center finds
we have indeed been helpful...

:29:29
...in realizing
the aims of the center's project--"

:29:32
-How modest.
-Oh, well--

:29:34
Go on.
:29:36
"--then we pledge to continue
that contribution free of charge...

:29:39
...for an additional period of time.
Five years in the case of Mr. Anderson...

:29:44
...and four years, six months
in the case of Mr. Durrell."

:29:48
Oh, yeah. He put it beautifully.
:29:51
-How'd he come up on them figures?
-Statute of limitations.

:29:55
-I beg your pardon?
-He said there's got to be limitations.

:29:58
-You're so modest, it's unbelievable.
-Yes, it is unbelievable.
