The American people
are very proud of you.
1:09:09
How'd you come up with the idea
for the Hula Hoop?
1:09:13
It was no great idea, really.
1:09:15
A thing like this takes a whole company
to put together. I'm grateful.
1:09:19
Did you have any idea
there'd be such a huge response?
1:09:22
Frankly, I don't think anybody
expected this much hoopla.
1:09:27
"Hoopla on the Hula Hoop."
Can we quote you on that, Mr. Barnes?
1:09:30
Sure, I guess.
1:09:33
Will you give yourself a nice, fat raise?
1:09:36
Come on, you guys.
1:09:45
What scientific principle explains
the motion of this wheel of wonder?
1:09:50
The dingus is quite simple, really.
1:09:52
It operates on the same principles that
keep the earth spinning around the sun...
1:09:57
...and that keeps you from flying off
the earth into the cold reaches of space...
1:10:01
...where you would die
like a miserable Schwein.
1:10:04
Yes, the principle is the same...
1:10:06
...except for the piece of grit
they put in to make the experience...
1:10:11
...more pleasant.
1:10:13
Yes, it's hula-hula everywhere!
1:10:15
From the parties of the Park Avenue
smart set...
1:10:21
...to sweethearts who want
to be married in the swing of things.
1:10:29
Did the board consider you an "Idea Man"
when they promoted you?
1:10:33
I guess. I don't think they promoted me
because they thought I was a schmo.
1:10:36
What's the next big idea for you
and Hudsucker Industries?
1:10:40
I don't know. An idea like this sweet baby
doesn't just come overnight.
1:10:43
Although, I'll tell you one thing:
I certainly didn't expect all this hoopla.
1:10:48
You can quote me on that.
