:08:01
Will 500 cover it?
Please don't talk nonsense.
:08:03
I can't hear you.
You're mumbling again. You shouldn't
mumble, with such a lovely voice.
:08:07
I wouldn't do this for everybody.
Look, this joke
has gone far enough.
:08:11
You say that ain't enough?
Well, how much do you need?
You're just embarrassing me.
:08:16
That's all right.
Don't mention it. It's a privilege
to do a favor for such a beautiful lady.
:08:20
It makes me feel young again.
There.
Oh.
:08:23
Well, how do you suppose
it makes me feel? I haven't seen
anything like this for so long.
:08:27
You talkin' about the money?
Forget it. I'm cheesy with money.
:08:30
I'm the Wienie King...
invented the Texas Wienie.
:08:33
Lay off of'em;
you'll live longer. Here.
:08:36
Buy yourself a new dress, too,
and a new hat.
:08:39
You're a fine girl. So long.
:08:43
Whoopee! Hot diggity!
:08:52
Hello?
Give me Longacre 5-6599, please.
:08:57
You see, it's strong and safe.
It's simple and practical.
:08:59
It lets the light and air through,
and it's practically invisible from below.
:09:03
And it's built right in the middle of
the city instead of way out in the sticks.
:09:08
Excuse me a moment. Be right back.
:09:13
- Yes?
- Darling, the most exciting thing
has happened.
:09:17
Look, honey, I'm right
in the middle of a talk
with a very important gentleman.
:09:20
- Could you tell me later?
- Oh, all right, dear.
:09:26
Of course, this is the big one,
but to build a working model
in some field or village somewhere...
:09:31
that small planes could
actually land on... to prove that
it was practical...
:09:34
would only cost
about $99,000.
:09:37
After that, we'd be on velvet.
You see,
:09:40
it's a steel mesh
made of stretched cables.
:09:43
Every municipality, every town,
every city needs one.
:09:46
My patent is basic.
$99,000 is a lot of money.
:09:49
Oh, but it isn't what it costs;
it's what it brings you back.
You see, I've got $99,000 now,
:09:53
but if I was to build this thing,
I might...
:09:55
Let's start all over again
from the beginning.
:09:58
Go ahead.
My time ain't worth anything.
I'm retired.
