Hi, I'm Chuck Glover.
:04:08
I'm Betty Jackson.
I was Mr. Biggs secretary.

:04:11
Do I inherit you, too?
:04:13
I don't know. Mr. Biggs left
so suddenly he didn't say.

:04:18
You're inherited.
:04:20
What desk should I use?
:04:23
That was Mr. Biggs desk.
:04:26
Thank you.
:04:30
What's the matter?
:04:32
I thought they'd send
an older man.

:04:34
No, they sent a younger one.
Shall we get to work?

:04:37
I'll get the folder
on Garth Island.

:04:40
Getting the old lady off Garth
is difficult.

:04:44
You're the third one
they've sent to try.

:04:48
Ella Garth versus Washington.
:04:51
Poor old Mr. Biggs
was disgusted when he quit.

:04:55
I'll bet he was.
:04:56
Maybe, it could be
he went about it the wrong way.

:05:00
That man did everything
anybody could do.

:05:03
He begged and pleaded with her,
but she won't budge an inch.

:05:07
That's the American way of life.
Rugged individualism is our heritage.

:05:13
3000 people sell,
and Ella Garth won't sell.

:05:17
We applaud that spirit,
we admire it, we believe in it,

:05:20
but we must get her out of there.
:05:26
The dam is finished
:05:27
and once they close those gates
and the water starts to rise...

:05:34
Well, we've not only
got to get her out of there,

:05:37
but we must get the land cleared,
the houses and trees down...

:05:41
Be careful!
:05:43
I guess I'm not telling you
anything new.

:05:46
Betty, how would you go about
getting her off the island?

:05:51
I'd let her drown.
:05:55
That's one way.
:05:57
How many...?
