:16:00
- Well, won't you sit down?
- Thank you.
:16:08
Would you care for a chocolate?
:16:11
- I got them on the train.
- Thanks.
:16:14
Twelve hundred dollars.
:16:17
Gribble, I can't understand
what's going on here.
:16:20
- You say Miller skipped?
- So I was given to understand, Mr. Wagner.
:16:24
- When did he skip?
- Well, I'm not sure.
:16:32
I just want to know one thing, Gribble:
:16:35
What in blazes goes on
inside that head of yours?
:16:38
Mr. Wagner, I explained.
:16:40
The credit limit of this unit is $500.
:16:43
Miller kept stringing me along from
day to day, showing me backers, telegrams.
:16:48
I never expected him to skip.
:16:51
He's a crook, a deadbeat.
If I catch him, I'll have him arrested.
:16:54
I'm sorry. I'll have to charge you with the
difference between the limit and the loss.
:17:00
It'll be exactly $ 700.
:17:02
- Mr. Wagner, I protest!
- Gribble!
:17:06
I was sent here to put
this unit on its feet.
:17:10
If I succeed, there's a vice-presidency
waiting for me.
:17:14
And I'm not gonna let anybody
stand in my way!
:17:18
I'm going up to room 920
and find out for myself!
:17:24
You know, I almost forgot
what I came in for.
:17:27
But since you wrote the show,
I can ask you instead of Mr. Miller.
:17:31
You see, it's...
Well, it's about an actor.
:17:36
- Someone you like?
- Oh, I think he's wonderful.
:17:41
Oh, I see.
:17:43
Well, he's a waiter in the hotel.
:17:46
He was a big star in Russia
in the Moscow Art Theater.
:17:50
The Moscow Art Theater?
:17:52
He could play the father
in Hail and Farewell.
:17:55
He's quite a middle-aged man,
and, well, he's getting so discouraged.
