Mercy.
What a grueling line of inquiry.
1:43:05
Must have a familiar ring,
the questions in advance.
1:43:12
Would you excuse us
for a moment, please ?
1:43:18
Take this, please.
Thank you.

- Young man--
1:43:25
The ratings went up if the same
contestant came back week after week.
1:43:28
There was only one way for that
to happen. You had to know that.
1:43:31
Young man, l sell over $14 million
a year worth of Geritol.
1:43:36
Geritol. That's the kind
of businessman l am.
1:43:39
That show, Twenty-One, cost me three
and a half million year in, year out.
1:43:42
Sales went up 50% when
Van Doren was on. Fifty percent.
1:43:47
So the very idea that l was unaware of
every detail of that show's operation,
1:43:52
frankly,
it's very insulting.
1:43:54
- So you knew.
- That's even more insulting.
1:43:56
- You had to know--
- lt's not about what l know.
lt's about what you know.
1:43:58
- You don't know what l know.
- You know that Dan Enright
ran a crooked quiz show.
1:44:02
He never informed you ?
1:44:04
Did he ?
1:44:06
[ Chuckles ]
Let's see what he says.
1:44:08
Dan ? Look, Dan Enright wants
a future in television, okay ?
1:44:13
You have to understand that the public
has a very short memory.
1:44:17
But corporations,
they never forget.
1:44:19
He's not that stupid.
He knows he's through.
1:44:21
No. Oh, he'll be back. NBC is gonna
go on. Geritol's gonna go on.
1:44:25
Makes me wonder what you hope
to accomplish with all this.
1:44:28
Don't worry.
l'm just gettin' started.
1:44:30
Even the quiz shows'll be back.
Why fix them ?
1:44:33
Think about it. You could do
exactly the same thing by just
making the questions easier.
1:44:37
The audience didn't tune in
to watch some amazing display
of intellectual ability.
1:44:43
They just wanted
to watch the money.
1:44:47
lmagine if they could
watch you.
1:44:52
You're a bright young kid with a bright
future. Watch yourself out there.
1:44:57
l turned in my clubs
after that day.
1:44:59
[ Kintner ] Well, you weren't
too good when you were out
on the links with me that day.
