: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.
:30:02
This part is so touching. Listen.
:30:04
"If at the end of six weeks
we have not made a real contribution...
:30:09
...we shall have to withdraw
and offer our services...
:30:12
...to a state or federal institution."
:30:21
You write a hell of a letter.
:30:24
Isn't it thrilling?
:30:26
We try so hard to get people
to donate two hours a day...
:30:29
...a week, a weekend, anything.
:30:31
Then two successful men
of your money and stature...
:30:34
...come along and decide
to devote eight hours a day...
:30:37
...five days a week?
There's so much to do.
:30:39
-I'm dying to show you the center.
-I'm dying too.
:30:42
-He means he can't wait.
-Don't worry.
:30:45
It'll work. If you're that interested,
we will make it work.
:30:49
We won't let you give your services
to some state or federal institution.
:30:53
The state's loss is our gain.
:30:58
That's the way we feel about it too.
