1:05:02
- or l'll tell everyone it's a fraud.
- You know that's not true.
1:05:05
Who cares if it's true ? ''The fix is in
this week on Twenty-One.''
1:05:07
Okay.
1:05:12
So he needed more money
after all that money he won.
1:05:15
Gambling.
And that's the least of it.
1:05:18
l mean, if the judge was protecting
anyone, he was protecting Herb.
1:05:22
Given--
Well--
1:05:26
- His medical condition.
- [ Scoffs ] His medical condition ?
1:05:31
- Oh, yeah.
- Al, get the bills.
1:05:35
l mean, put yourself
in his shoes.
1:05:37
He's no longer
in the public eye.
1:05:40
He's remembered, if he's
remembered at all, as ''the guy
that lost to Van Doren.''
1:05:44
Television is like
a monkey on his back,
1:05:46
and we're not talking about someone who
is necessarily stable to begin with.
1:05:48
- No.
- So you paid for his psychoanalysis ?
1:05:52
- l felt responsible.
- You're too nice.
1:05:54
- No, l'm not.
- lf it were up to me, l would've sent
him to the skating rink the fast way.
1:05:56
- Five sessions a week ?
- Five, and not a dent.
1:06:00
Herb is so angry with himself
for losing, and it was on
such a simple question too.
1:06:05
- Marty.
- Marty. His ego couldn't handle it.
1:06:07
He blames Charles Van Doren
for his downfall.
1:06:11
And of course, the real downfall
of Herbert Stempel has always
been Herbert Stempel.
1:06:15
Herbert Stempel. Absolutely. You met
him. Does he seem stable to you ?
1:06:18
Well, l definitely have an inkling
of what you're talking about.
1:06:21
He told me this whole story about
how when a Jew is on the show,
1:06:24
he always loses to a Gentile, and then
the Gentile wins more money.
1:06:28
Right ? [ Chuckles ] Who could
dream up a scheme like that ?
1:06:32
A symptom of his
Van Doren fixation.
1:06:34
The thing of it is,
l looked it up. lt's true.
1:06:40
We could check it.
1:06:42
[ Toby ] Herbie, l wanna go home.
1:06:44
l took you to dinner, didn't l ?
Just hold your horses.
1:06:47
This is ridiculous.
Wha--
1:06:55
Where have you been ? Why don't
you return my phone calls ?
Did you talk to Van Doren ?
