- Come in, Mr. Herzenstiel.
- Just Stiel.
1:18:06
S-T-I-E-L.
1:18:11
Where's Ricky?
1:18:12
She's off visiting some wealthy people
in Palm Springs at the moment.
1:18:16
Expecting a baby, you know.
1:18:18
She sent me these papers to sign.
1:18:19
I'm her guardian,
I have to approve what she does...
1:18:22
getting somebody to adopt it and all that.
1:18:24
And I had to come this way, so I thought...
1:18:26
Why don't you leave it with me.
She'll be here any day.
1:18:28
You'll see she gets it all right?
1:18:31
Yes, indeed. Guard it with my life, give it
to her personally, take it right over there.
1:18:43
I've got to make Banning by 1:00.
This isn't my territory, you know.
1:18:46
- I'm southwestern Cal, LA to TJ.
- Don't worry.
1:18:49
I'm a traveling man myself,
35 years, metals and hardwares.
1:18:52
Changed over to pharmacy in '29
just before the Crash.
1:18:54
I got to straighten out southeastern.
He doesn't know when to get tough.
1:18:58
Imagine letting any store claim breakage
on 10 dozen plushies!
1:19:03
Plushies don't break!
I mean, who do they think they're kidding?
1:19:06
Say, I wouldn't mind
handling a line like this myself.
1:19:09
My grandson, Duncan...
1:19:10
You expect a little damage
around Christmas, mostly plastics.
1:19:13
The little bastards,
they grab something off the shelf, and pow!
1:19:16
You know? Store claims container failure.
1:19:18
We know, they know.
We make it up on the next billing...
1:19:22
but I'm not about to let them get away
with 10 dozen plushies!
1:19:29
I'll tell Erica that you were here.
1:19:32
She sure will be sorry to miss you.
1:19:55
Goodbye!
