:18:00
Be a comfort to know when I get to Latvia.
:18:02
You think there's a chance
of you getting to Latvia soon?
:18:05
Never can tell in my racket.
:18:07
I suppose you've guessed
I'm a foreign correspondent.
:18:09
Are you? That's nice.
:18:12
I see you're taking notes.
Are you covering this affair, too?
:18:15
I sort of work here.
:18:17
Publicity? You're just the one
I'm looking for.
:18:20
We've got to go in a secret conference
right away.
:18:26
Me? Excuse me.
:18:29
I beg your pardon, sir.
I have a Latvian friend here...
:18:32
who's particularly interested
in the origin of the kilt.
:18:34
I wonder if you'd be interested
in talking to him. He's a lovely fellow.
:18:38
It's a most amazing story.
:18:40
You see, the Greeks, in the early period,
they used to wear a kilt.
:18:45
Now, what is this big secret conference
all about?
:18:47
It's no secret as far as I'm concerned.
However, I'll let you in on that later.
:18:52
Since you're handling publicity here,
give me a line on what it's about...
:18:56
this league for peace and understanding.
:18:58
Just what is it you'd like to know?
:19:00
In the first place, is this Mr. Fisher
entirely on the level?
:19:03
Very much so.
:19:05
- Seems like a very nice guy.
- He is, I assure you.
:19:08
What is it that makes him or you
think that an organization like this...
:19:12
made up of well-meaning amateurs...
:19:14
buck up against those
tough military boys of Europe?
:19:16
It's the well-meaning amateurs
who do the fighting when the war comes.
:19:21
- Luncheon is served.
- Please don't go yet.
:19:24
You don't want those
dreary chicken patties.
:19:26
I'm sorry. I must go.
:19:27
Then sit at the press table with me.
:19:30
Nobody ever listens to the speeches,
and we could talk.
:19:33
You don't even know my name yet.
:19:34
- Is it necessary?
- It is to me.
:19:37
Don't mind if you hear
it's Huntley Haverstock...
:19:39
because it's really Jones.
:19:41
- What's yours?
- Mine's really Smith.
:19:44
Don't mind if you hear it's anything else.
:19:52
- Waiter?
- Yes, sir.
:19:54
Same young lady. Try again.
:19:56
I've taken the young lady 13 notes, sir.
She won't accept any more.
