:27:01
You will?
:27:03
Herman, you won't be disappointed. Bye.
:27:06
Herman's coming.
:27:07
Doing this play
will make the whole semester worthwhile.
:27:12
You'd better switch hands
or you'll make your chest lopsided.
:27:21
- Come in.
- A man is here to see you, Miriam.
:27:23
A Herman Anderson. Should I send him in?
:27:28
I am so glad you could come, Herman.
:27:32
You're really spreading out.
:27:34
It's my costume for the play.
:27:38
Funny pants. What is it, historical?
:27:41
That's right.
It's a very evocative portrait of the South.
:27:44
The South
has never been properly understood.
:27:47
- Just like the plumbing business.
- How's that?
:27:49
No one seems to appreciate the fact...
:27:52
that we're working hard in order to make
everybody a little bit more comfortable.
:27:55
- You know what I mean?
- How is business, Herman?
:27:58
It keeps on going on.
:28:00
No matter what happens
in the nation economically...
:28:03
people have still got to do three things.
:28:05
They've got to be born, they've got to die.
:28:07
And in the middle,
they've got to go to the bathroom.
:28:09
Right. I am putting in
138 brand-new bathrooms...
:28:13
in a brand-new hotel.
And when I tell you, Miriam...
:28:15
that they are beautiful,
you gotta believe me.
:28:17
Color coordinated,
right down to the plunger.
:28:19
Sounds terrific. I can't wait to see them.
:28:21
And next time
I'm going to go into franchising.
:28:24
"Herman Anderson Plumbing."
Just like take-out chicken.
:28:27
- Coast to coast.
- Wonderful.
:28:29
I wish I could help you out somehow.
:28:33
I could use a bright girl.
:28:35
I mean, somebody that knows the business.
:28:39
You could?
:28:40
Nothing up front
where you would meet the customers.
:28:43
Something in the back, taking inventory,
bookkeeping. That sort of thing.
:28:47
You know what I mean?
:28:48
And who knows?
Maybe one of these days, you and I...
:28:53
We might...
:28:55
Yes, Herman?
:28:56
Five minutes, Miriam.
:28:58
- I'd better get to my seat.
- Herman?
