: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?
:49:03
In connection with my job, sometimes
I have to go undercover, as it were.
:49:08
I don't mean that.
:49:10
Why are you pretending to be
such a hard old sourpuss?
:49:15
Ain't going to never make you happy!
:49:19
I'm happy enough.
:49:26
I got gears to see to.
:49:33
I'm plenty happy!
:49:45
I can't print that!
:49:47
Why not? It's true. The board's using him
to depress the stock and buy it cheap.
:49:50
It's pure speculation!
They'd have my butt in a satchel!
:49:54
They'll buy that stock--
:49:56
You don't know anything. They haven't
bought it. What are they waiting for?
