1:44:02
He never informed you ?
1:44:04
Did he ?
1:44:06
[ Chuckles ]
Let's see what he says.
1:44:08
Dan ? Look, Dan Enright wants
a future in television, okay ?
1:44:13
You have to understand that the public
has a very short memory.
1:44:17
But corporations,
they never forget.
1:44:19
He's not that stupid.
He knows he's through.
1:44:21
No. Oh, he'll be back. NBC is gonna
go on. Geritol's gonna go on.
1:44:25
Makes me wonder what you hope
to accomplish with all this.
1:44:28
Don't worry.
l'm just gettin' started.
1:44:30
Even the quiz shows'll be back.
Why fix them ?
1:44:33
Think about it. You could do
exactly the same thing by just
making the questions easier.
1:44:37
The audience didn't tune in
to watch some amazing display
of intellectual ability.
1:44:43
They just wanted
to watch the money.
1:44:47
lmagine if they could
watch you.
1:44:52
You're a bright young kid with a bright
future. Watch yourself out there.
1:44:57
l turned in my clubs
after that day.
1:44:59
[ Kintner ] Well, you weren't
too good when you were out
on the links with me that day.
1:45:03
l can't wait to get you
out there again.
1:45:06
- Stuck in that sand trap for an hour.
- No more for me.
1:45:08
Would you state your name
and profession ?
1:45:11
My name is Robert Kintner.
l'm the president of the
National Broadcasting Company.
1:45:16
[ Man ] My name is Martin Rittenhome.
l run Pharmaceuticals lncorporated.
1:45:19
l take that responsibility
very seriously, Congressman.
1:45:22
We immediately commenced
our own internal investigation.
1:45:25
To ferret out this corruption
wherever it may exist.
1:45:28
Nobody brought the article
in Time Magazine to your attention ?
1:45:31
l was in Europe.
l didn't see it.
1:45:33
You didn't see it.
You were travelling.
1:45:35
l didn't see it.
l was travelling at the time.
1:45:37
You sure you never asked
about particular contestants
or about the ratings, nothing ?
1:45:41
- That was their department.
- l relied on the excellent
reputation of Dan Enright.
1:45:45
Dan Enright was more in the nature
of an independent contractor.
1:45:47
Do you remember what you thought
when you found out ?
1:45:50
l was as shocked as you are. l
mean, this was a terrible thing
to do to the American people.
1:45:53
l never, never imagined...
1:45:55
they could perpetrate this fraud
on the American public.
1:45:59
l'd like to say one other thing. l
think all that money should be returned.
