Well, it seems the Belgian Consulate
has formally protested my ignorance.

1:31:06
Up at Cornwall, Charlie, your father
said he felt like Leopold, remember ?

1:31:11
You lost on one you knew.
Same as Stempel.

1:31:14
Well, l--
l must have had a mental block.

1:31:16
l was there last night.
1:31:18
l could swear a smile crept across
your face when you lost.

1:31:22
[ Sighs ]
1:31:25
l wanted to get off the show.
You can understand that.

1:31:29
l feel like l've been holding
my breath for 14 weeks.

1:31:34
Why ?
What'd you think it was ?

1:31:36
Look, l spoke to the committee,
okay ? We're going to hold
the hearings without you.

1:31:42
l am not out to destroy
you or your family.

1:31:45
- You go on and you live
your life, and God bless you.
- Okay.

1:31:47
But l wanna know, man to man,
did you get the answers ?

1:31:52
- ''Man to man'' ?
- Yeah, just between us.

1:31:55
What is this ? ls this still
that business with Stempel ?

1:31:58
l mean, Dan says he's not
the most reliable fellow.

1:32:00
There's a problem, Charlie.
l found another contestant,
a man named James Snodgrass.

1:32:04
- He says he got the answers too.
- Are you sure these people
are telling the truth ?

1:32:07
He put the questions in
a sealed envelope and sent them
to himself, registered mail.

1:32:10
- That was two days before
he appeared on the show.
- That doesn't prove anything.

1:32:13
- You don't have to be
a genius to connect the dots.
- Don't connect them through me.

1:32:16
Don't treat me like l'm some member
of your goddamned fan club !

1:32:19
Are you telling me everybody
got the answers but you ?

1:32:21
- You're so persistent. l envy that.
- Was it just the money ?

1:32:24
You'll forgive me, but anyone
that thinks money is ever just
money couldn't have much of it.

1:32:27
You wanna insult me, fine.
But you can't envy me at the same time.

1:32:31
Jesus ! lf someone offered you all this
money to be on some rigged quiz show,

1:32:35
instant fame,
would you do it ?

1:32:37
- No. Of course not.
- No, no.

1:32:40
Throw the whole thing in:
Cover of Time; Dave Garroway;
50,000 to read poetry on TV;

1:32:44
would you do it ?
1:32:47
No.
1:32:49
And l would ?
1:32:57
[ Sighs ]
Honestly, Dick.
