Beaver.
:59:04
It's a game. First one to spot a beard.
Beards are unusual in these parts.
:59:09
I suppose they are. I don't think I
ever told anyone how I came to grow it.
:59:15
I was one of the youngest ever
to graduate from Harvard Law School.
:59:19
In fact, I was teaching at
Commonwealth before I was 22.
:59:22
I had a frank and open face. People
in trolley cars used to call me "sonny."
:59:29
Boys I was teaching would slap me
on the back. Women would wink at me.
:59:34
- Is that bad?
- No, but I had no time for nonsense.
:59:38
The beard became a sort of fortress.
And then I grew attached to it.
:59:42
- I think it's pretty.
- What am I to say to that?
:59:45
- I wonder what's going on over here.
- Pulaski's, the borscht place.
:59:57
- We must get some for Joseph.
- We haven't time.
1:00:00
But think of his face, the ecstasy.
1:00:04
- You're going to spoil that man.
- Spoil Joseph?
1:00:09
- Yes, sir.
- Borscht, please.
1:00:11
- A quart.
- Yes.
1:00:13
With an egg in it.
1:00:15
- It must have an egg beaten up in it.
- Yes, sir. In a moment, sir.
1:00:22
Ma, come on.
1:00:24
- Look. Look at those two.
- I see them. So?
1:00:27
- They ordered a quart of borscht.
- So?
1:00:30
- With an egg!
- Is that a crime?
1:00:33
Only one customer ever
orders it that way:
1:00:38
Leopold Dilg!
1:00:39
Sherlock Holmes, you think that
he's Leopold Dilg with a beard, huh?
1:00:45
- I'm going to follow them.
- My own Federal Bureau of Investigation.
1:00:51
I'm an American citizen. In America,
everybody is responsible for everything.
1:00:56
- I'm following.
- He's such a...
1:00:59
With an egg. It's wonderful.
