:09:02
- I can do that better!
- (Crying)
:09:13
(Man) Smuntz String
is a relic of history.
:09:17
You don't make string by twining
two strands together any more.
:09:21
No. You make it simple,
singular, strong, with nylon.
:09:25
Bu-but that's not string.
Tha-that's cord.
:09:28
- Exactly.
- Twine is yesterday. Cord is today.
:09:32
Zeppco was interested in your factory
but your father refused to sell.
:09:37
We are hopin' you're smarter.
:09:39
Zeppco is willin'
to buy you out...
:09:41
and bring this museum
into the 21st century.
:09:44
We'd keep you on as a consultant,
with a huge salary and hefty pension.
:09:50
So...
:09:52
what do you say?
:09:58
(Sighs)
:10:14
- My sons...
- (Whispers) Ernie.
:10:18
- Ernie!
- Yeah. Just a sec.
:10:22
I want you...to have...something.
:10:26
My most prized possession.
:10:30
(Sighs) Oh, it's
a piece of st-string.
:10:34
Not just any string. THE string.
:10:38
I found it my first day in America.
:10:43
- What's with the string?
- I've had it 60 years.
:10:46
Here! I want you two to share it.
:10:50
Maybe it'll bring you
closer together.
:10:54
- You haven't talked much lately.
- Yeah.
:10:57
- Ah! What are you doing?
- I'm breaking it in half.
