What is it?
1:18:08
lt was during the war.
1:18:10
Your father went missing.
They thought he was dead.
1:18:15
Oh, that really happened?
1:18:18
Not everything your father says
is a complete fabrication.
1:18:23
l think l'll go check on him.
1:18:28
l need to lie down for a bit.
1:18:30
Okay, go.
1:18:47
After the war, the sons of Alabama
returned home, looking for work.
1:18:52
Each had the advantage over me.
1:18:54
They were alive,
while I was officially deceased.
1:18:57
With my prospects few...
1:18:59
...I took a job as a traveling salesman.
It suited me.
1:19:03
If there was one thing
you can say about Edward Bloom...
1:19:06
...it's that I am a social person.
1:19:09
-Congratulations.
-Thank you, sir.
1:19:13
I could be gone
for weeks at a time.
1:19:15
But every other Friday,
I put all the money I made...
1:19:18
...into an account set aside
for a proper house...
1:19:22
...with a white picket fence.
1:19:30
l'd like a moment of your time
to tell you about my new product...
1:19:33
...the Handi-matic.
1:19:50
A few years later, I added
other products and other cities...
1:19:54
...until my territory stretched from
the coast to western Texas.
