Where's that chair from?
:07:07
Excuse me?
:07:09
The chair
that you're sitting in.

:07:11
Where's it from;
where'd you get it?

:07:13
It's not from
around here, right?

:07:14
It's foreign,
it's exotic.

:07:17
I don't want pirate's loot
in this home.

:07:20
Billy Pretty told me
all about it.

:07:24
It's a good thing
somebody finally did.

:07:27
I don't believe in dwelling
in the past.

:07:31
No? Then what
are we doing here?

:07:33
Making a future.
:07:40
Well, well, well

:07:48
Hope you've got a good idea

:07:50
I'd hate for Jack to think

Let the man digest, Tert.
:07:54
Mind you,

:07:56
of the "Shipping News" column
:07:58
I'd pick up
the McGonigle oil field story.

:08:00
Petro-dollars;
a golden flood of jobs.

:08:02
You write a story
about that

:08:03
I'll put it right there
on the front page.

:08:06
Thank you
for stopping by, Tert.

:08:08
Yeah, thanks, Tert.
:08:12
Aw, gee...
:08:14
What was that
all about?

:08:16
Oh, uh, he owns Mobil Oil.
:08:20
Ten shares.
:08:24
WAVEY:
What about your column?

:08:26
What about it?
:08:28
You said you'd
read it to me.

:08:30
Yeah, I will,
once the game is done.

:08:32

"There's a 1904 photo hung
in the Killick-Claw library...

:08:42
"eight schooners heading out
to the fishing grounds

:08:46
"their sails are white
and beautiful.

:08:48

as likely to see

:08:53
"like the rupturedGolden Goose.
