- [ Drums Banging ]
- Gee.
:54:03
Fi-- Finally. l-l knew
it was just a matter of time.
:54:07
Come in.
:54:10
- [ Drums Continue ]
- Didn't you go to City College ?
:54:12
- Uh, Harvard.
- Toby !
:54:14
- [ Gasps ]
- This is my wife, Toby.
This is Mr. Goodwin.
:54:19
He's an investigator from
the United States Congress.
:54:21
Would you like a cup of coffee, Mr.--
l-l already got the pot on.
:54:25
l tell ya, that
sounds great, actually.
:54:27
And bring some rugulach
if there are any left.
:54:29
- l love my wife, but it's like
livin' with a plague of locusts.
- [ Drums Continue ]
:54:33
lf Charles Van Doren told 'em
what l told 'em,
:54:35
do you think this whole grand jury
thing would be squashed ?
:54:38
- Quashed. lt's not ''squashed.''
- Not in a million years.
:54:41
- Quashed, okay ?
- What exactly did you
tell the grand jury ?
:54:44
- Have one.
- Uh, no, thanks.
:54:46
Lester, will you
knock it off for ten minutes ?
:54:48
Come on. They're a Jewish delicacy.
Before Toby eats it.
:54:51
- l'm retainin' water
for your information.
- You and the Grand Coulee Dam.
:54:55
Come on. You don't know
what you're missing.
:54:56
l'm quite familiar with
rugulach, thank you.
:55:01
-How'd a guy like you get into Harvard ?
-Capped teeth.
:55:04
- Lester !
- [ Drums Continue ]
:55:07
Herb, what exactly did you
tell the grand jury ?
:55:10
No, you can't ask me that.
lt's-- lt's sealed. lt's illegal.
:55:14
Well, uh, just between us.
:55:18
They made me take a dive.
Marty.
:55:20
They made me lose on Marty
just to humiliate me.
:55:24
- Who made you take a dive ?
- Dan Enright.
:55:26
He told me l had plateaued,
that the ratings had plateaued.
:55:29
A sinking ship
and the rats stayed.
:55:30
Do you think in a million years
l wouldn't know Marty, and
meanwhile, Charles Van Moron...
:55:33
would be on the show
11 weeks in a row ?
:55:35
l don't understand. H-How could they
make you take a dive ?
:55:38
- What ?
- Why didn't you just answer Marty
if you knew it ?
:55:41
- What, and throw away
his future in television ?
- Would you please go inside...
:55:45
and tell Gene Krupa
to take five ?
:55:47
Lester.
Lester !
:55:49
You're so naive. lt's a fix.
lt's all-- lt's all a fix.
:55:52
A setup. l made a study of it. They
always follow a Jew with a Gentile.
:55:55
And the Gentile wins more money.
What is that, a coincidence ?
:55:59
Herb, you're saying this whole grand
jury thing was because of you.
