:38:01
Well, not many operators
still crush their own fruit...

:38:05
that's for goddamn sure.
:38:07
l am the last.
:38:09
Started in 1924
at eighteen years of age.

:38:13
You will note this was
before refrigeration.

:38:16
Yes, sir.
:38:17
Have you ever tried
selling soft drinks...

:38:19
when there is
no refrigeration?

:38:21
No, sir.
:38:22
We started with crushed ice.
:38:24
l brought crushed ice
to this country.

:38:27
Nothing man has invented
will ever be better than ice.

:38:32
lce is silent.
:38:34
lce does not destroy,
it preserves.

:38:40
For your face, kid.
:38:41
Thank you, sir.
:38:43
lt is related to life,
not death.

:38:45
Your compatriot--
:38:47
the late Mr. Walt Disney--
is preserved on ice.

:38:50
Let's hope it does him
some good, Mr. McDowell.

:38:53
Oh, T. George.
Call me T. George.

:38:55
Thanks.
:39:01
What the hell
is this doing here?

:39:03
That is the woman of my life.
:39:07
Say what?
:39:11
Thelma.
:39:15
The girl from
Hobcoppin, Mississippi.

:39:19
She was all over the town...
:39:21
during the famous
Rotary convention...

:39:23
l attended in St. Louis.
:39:24
So you stole her
from Coca-Cola?

:39:27
Once l had seen
this beautiful woman...

:39:30
l couldn't rest until
l had found and, of course...

:39:34
married her
and brought her back here.

:39:37
She never understood...ice.
:39:47
She bore me a child...
:39:49
and soon afterwards
killed herself...

:39:51
and l've never forgiven her.
