:47:01
What are you doing, Miss Archer?
:47:13
Who are you?
How did you know who I am?

:47:18
I suspect Old Moses knows
just about everything...

:47:22
...leastways if it concerns Hudsucker.
:47:25
Who are you? What do you do here?
:47:27
I keep the old circle turning.
:47:30
This old clock needs plenty of care.
:47:33
Time is money, Miss Archer.
:47:35
Money drives that old global economy...
:47:38
...and keeps Big Daddy Earth
spinning around.

:47:40
See, without that capital formation--
:47:45
You won't tell anyone about me, will you?
:47:47
I don't tell no one nothing...
:47:51
...unless they ask.
:47:53
That just ain't Old Moses' way.
:47:55
If you know everything about Hudsucker...
:47:57
...tell me why the board decided
to make Norville Barnes president?

:48:01
That even surprised Old Moses at first.
:48:04
I didn't think the board was that smart.
:48:07
"That smart?"
:48:08
But then I figured it out.
They did it because...

:48:11
...they figured young Norville for
an imbecile, like some other people I know.

:48:15
Why on earth would the board
want a nitwit to be president?

:48:18
Because they're little piglets.
They're trying to inspire panic...

:48:23
...make that stock cheap so they can
snatch it all up for themselves.

:48:27
But Norville's got some tricks
up his sleeve. He does.

:48:31
"You know, for kids?"
:48:34
Yeah, he's a smart one, that Norville.
:48:38
But I guess you don't really know him
any better than that board does, do you?

:48:43
Maybe I--
:48:44
And only some kind of knuckle-head thinks
she knows things about things....

:48:50
When she don't....
:48:53
How'd that go?
:48:55
Well, it's hardly the same.
:48:57
You don't even know your own self.
:48:59
You ain't exactly the genuine article,
are you, Miss Archer?
