: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.
:20:04
Milords, ladies and gentlemen...
:20:09
pray silence for your chairman...
:20:12
Mr. Stephen Fisher.
:20:16
Ladies and gentlemen,
I have an announcement to make...
:20:19
which I'm sure will be
a great disappointment to us all.
:20:21
I've just received this telegram
from Mr. Van Meer...
:20:24
who was to have been
our guest of honor today.
:20:27
"Deeply regret. Called away suddenly
owing to unforeseen circumstances.
:20:31
"And I will be unable
to attend your meeting as planned.
:20:33
"I am with you and your work
with all my heart.
:20:36
"I could not have said more
had I been there."
:20:40
Although this removes
one of our star attractions...
:20:43
we may, as a result, have more time
to tell you from the inside...
:20:46
just what this party has stood for
and why we've asked you here today.
:20:51
I can think of no one
more competent to do this...
:20:53
than the speaker I'm about to introduce.
:20:55
I trust you won't think this a family affair...
:20:58
when I say that I refer to my daughter
Miss Carol Fisher.
