Six and a half.
Blue-white. Perfect stone.
1:02:07
His mother left
perfectly good jewellery.
1:02:09
It's just sitting there at the bank.
1:02:11
He wanted her to have something
that had never belonged to anyone else.
1:02:15
But six and a half carats!
1:02:18
And cashing in a bond
to pay for a ring.
1:02:20
But he didn't pay for it.
He charged it.
1:02:23
I helped him pick it out.
1:02:25
It cost $42,000... plus tax.
1:02:29
Did you say $42,000?
1:02:32
The man's deranged.
1:02:35
You know what he did to me
last Saturday?
1:02:37
He came out to the club
waving a check for $7,000,
1:02:41
and insisted that I break up
my golf game, go in and open the bank,
1:02:45
and hand over to him $7,000.
1:02:47
Then he drew out -
1:02:49
Well, let ' s just say, enough to pay for
this trip, plus the letter of credit.
1:02:53
He cashed that very nice bond
against my advice,
1:02:56
made me get him the money.
1:02:59
Ten thousand in small bills.
And when I asked him
1:03:01
why he wanted $10,000
in small bills, he said,
1:03:04
"Well, old man, I'm being blackmailed,
and they specified small bills. "
1:03:09
I know that most people
find Mark's humour charming.
1:03:12
I do not. There is nothing charming
about running through -
1:03:19
Including the unpaid bill for a ring,
1:03:22
approximately $70,000 in one week.
1:03:26
A $6,000 or $7,000
South Seas honeymoon,
1:03:29
conservatively speaking,
and a $42,000 ring.
1:03:33
All that money spent to celebrate what?
1:03:36
This meager, furtive little wedding?
1:03:39
He didn't even ask Mother.
