Mm-hm.
:08:07
Hi.
:08:09
Mr Wichard?
:08:12
That's right. Vernon Wichard. Who are you?
:08:14
- My name is Reuben Warshawsky.
- Warshawsky? What kinda name is that?

:08:20
The kind you have to spell for
telephone operators and head waiters.

:08:24
- What do you want?
- I'd like to get me a room with a mill family.

:08:28
What for? We got a hotel with 12 rooms.
We got a motel with 36 rooms.

:08:33
I wanna get to know
some mill hands close up.

:08:36
Uh-huh. Why is that?
:08:38
I'll tell ya, Mr Wichard. I just got into town
about, uh, an hour ago. Hi. How are you?

:08:43
I got out of my rented car and,
before I had a chance to adjust my crotch,

:08:47
the chief of police was on me saying
"Who are you? What are you doin' here?"

:08:51
So I told him I was a labour organiser, come
to put a uniĆ³n in the OP Henley textile mill,

:08:56
and he said "The hell you are." He gave me
a ticket and told me to get elsewhere.

:09:00
He was dead right to.
:09:02
Far as I'm concerned, all of you people
are communists, or agitators,

:09:06
or crooks, or Jews,
or all four rolled together.

:09:09
Every time you people come into a town,
the folks get throwed outta their jobs.

:09:14
Do you mind if I ask you a question?
How much do you make an hour?

:09:19
I make a dollar and 33 cents a frame.
:09:22
- When did you have a cost-of-living raise?
- I haven't had that.

:09:25
With all due respect, Mr Wichard, with today's
inflation, that makes you a bit of a schlemiel.

:09:31
You callin' me some kind of a name?
:09:34
You're underpaid. You're overworked.
:09:37
They're shaftin' you right up to
your tonsils. You need me, sir.

:09:43
I think maybe if you run real fast you'll get
back to your car before my dog bites you.

:09:48
Why are ya tellin' him that?
We ain't even got a dog.

:09:51
You don't need one.
