"lmagine. Only about a month
from graduation...

:07:03
"and he considers himself
a failure.

:07:05
"If he would follow my advice,
he'd stay in this country...

:07:08
"and work in his father's
overalls factory.

:07:10
But he hates it."
:07:12
Hmm. "I can't tell you
how miserable I feel for him."

:07:18
- Griggs.
- Yes, Jervis.

:07:20
- Would you come here a moment, please?
- I'll be right there.

:07:23
"He was all set to go to South Africa as
a mining engineer when the project blew up."

:07:30
Uh, Griggs, I'd like to do something
for a young chap I know.

:07:33
Name's McBride.
Brilliant mining engineer.

:07:35
Do we have an opening for him?
:07:37
Well, our New Jersey lab
can always use a bright young man.

:07:40
No, no. Not- Not, uh- Not New Jersey.
He- He's the adventurous type.

:07:43
He- He'd want to go far away.
You know, see the world kind of thing.

:07:47
I see. Someplace
out of the country, eh?

:07:49
He'd sign up for a year's contract.
As a matter of fact, he wants to.

:07:52
He's a good man.
Very highly recommended.

:07:53
- By whom?
- By-

:07:55
By me. l- I, uh- I met him at
that college dance recently.

:08:00
He's a friend of Linda's.
I was quite impressed with him.

:08:02
I, uh- I have an eye for these young people
who are going places, you know.

:08:06
Going places.
How about our tin mines in Bolivia?

:08:11
- Bolivia?
- Would that be far enough away for you?

:08:14
- It's not for me. It's for him.
- Oh. Of course.

:08:17
I can't imagine what
I was thinking of.

:08:19
- Our mines in Bolivia sound ideal.
- Oh, they are.

:08:21
Almost inaccessible. Takes two days to
reach them after you get off a burro's back.

:08:26
Fine, fine. Uh, will you get
Miss Pritchard in here, please?

:08:29
- Miss Pritchard?
- Yes. I want her to take a letter now.

:08:32
I thought perhaps you wanted
to teach her the sluefoot.
