:23:02
I intend to make you a liberal offer,
which I feel you'll instantly accept.
:23:06
How much you gonna pay us for this land?
:23:08
$500.
:23:10
$500! We're gonna be rich!
:23:12
Now, all I need is both your signatures.
:23:16
On the bottom.
:23:22
There you are. Thank you.
:23:26
I'll give you $1,000.
:23:27
- How dare you, you meddlesome fool!
- I heard that!
:23:31
If you weren't so small,
I'd flog the daylights out of you.
:23:34
- But I'm bigger than you.
- That's another reason.
:23:38
You'll pay us double for this land
than the Railroad?
:23:40
Yes, and it's a lucky thing for you
I got here in time.
:23:43
Mr. Panello,
you don't know who he represents.
:23:45
At least you know my offer is bona fide.
:23:47
That's right.
How do we know your offer is bona fide?
:23:50
- Are your hands clean?
- Sure.
:23:51
Then here's my card.
:23:52
"Bona Fide Oil Company.
S. Quentin Quale, Pres."
:23:56
Look. His whole company is bona fide.
:23:59
In all my long business experience,
I've dealt with every important oil firm...
:24:03
- And I've never heard of your company.
- You haven't?
:24:06
Evidently you don't read
the bankruptcy notices.
:24:09
It works out fine.
We get your land, you get $1,000...
:24:12
and our friend here
gets bounced by the Railroad...
:24:15
for letting this oily deal
slip through his greasy fingers.
:24:25
If you don't mind,
would you mind taking your feet down?
:24:29
It's a good joke.
:24:30
Wait till the Railroad hears about this.
:24:32
It's more than your land is worth, really...
:24:36
but I'll stretch a point. $1,500.
:24:40
Oh, boy. Stop it.
:24:43
For $1,500, I write good.
:24:47
- $2,000.
- $3,000.
:24:48
- $4,000.
- $5,000.
:24:49
$6,000.
:24:50
- He says $6,000. What do you say?
- I wash my hands of this whole deal!
:24:54
Try this soap.
We're having a special on it today.
:24:56
It's $1 a cake, or two cakes for 25 cents.
:24:59
Where's my bag?
