...and my first report card at school.
:39:31
I know you're tired, gentlemen,
but I brought you here for a reason.

:39:34
- This little pilgrimage will do us good.
- The Chronicle's a good newspaper.

:39:38
Chronicle's a good idea for a newspaper.
Notice the circulation.

:39:41
495,000.
But look who's working for the Chronicle.

:39:46
- With them, it's no trick to get circulation.
- You're right.

:39:50
You know how long it took the Chronicle
to get that staff together?

:39:53
- Twenty years.
- Twenty years?

:39:56
Six years ago, I looked at a picture
of the world's greatest newspaper men.

:40:01
I felt like a kid in front of a candy store.
:40:04
Tonight, six years later,
I got my candy, all of it.

:40:08
Welcome, gentlemen, to the Inquirer.
:40:10
Make an extra copy of that picture
and mail it to the Chronicle.

:40:15
It'll make you all happy to learn
that our circulation this morning...

:40:18
...was the greatest in New York: 684,000.
:40:23
684,132.
:40:26
Right.
:40:28
I hope you'll forgive my rudeness
in taking leave of you.

:40:31
I'm going abroad next week for a vacation.
:40:34
I've promised my doctor for sometime
that I would leave when I could.

:40:38
I now realize I can't.
:40:40
Say, Mr.Kane,
as long as you're promising...

:40:43
...there's a lot of pictures and statues
in Europe you ain't bought yet.

:40:47
You can't blame me, Mr.Bernstein.
:40:49
They've been making statues
for 2,000 years.

:40:52
And I've only been buying for five.
:40:54
- Promise me, Mr.Kane.
- I promise, Mr.Bernstein.

:40:57
- Thank you.
- Mr.Bernstein?
