Nothing but the Truth

Good morning, chief. Good morning.

Good morning, sir.

The market's a little better.

Good morning. Well, Carbide is up a little.

Yeah.

Good morning, Mr. Ralston.

Good morning, Mr. Ralston.

Good morning. Good morning, Mr. Ralston.

Good morning, T.T. Good morning, Tom.

Good morning, Mr. Ralston. Good morning, Mr. Ralston.

Oh, T.T.

What is everybody smiling about? What's so funny?

Good morning, sir. Good morning, Mr. Ralston.

Good morning, Mr. Ralston. Oh, nonsense.

Hiya, chief.

Good morning.

Dick, I've got distressing news.

Boy, come back later.

What's that? Run along, run along.

Hey, he's only done one shoe.

Dick, we've got to get rid of Las Lomas Quicksilver as soon as possible.

Oh, I've got cauliflower ears from phoning.

Just get as far as "quick," and they hang up.

Listen, I got $150,000 sunk in that blasted mine.

We gotta get it out. Oh, but T.T.

Look, drop everything else today. After all, this is my baby.

Well, of all the babies you've had in this office,

this one's really got circles under its eyes.

Mr. Van Dusen is here...

Hello.

Oh, hello, Van. Hiya.

Good morning, T.T. Good morning.

Conference? No, no, not at all. Make yourself at home.

Will you have a cigarette? No, thanks.

Did you see what Carbide did?

Yes, sir. You certainly called that right.

Van, you have plenty of nice, solid stuff.

Now, I've got something really exciting for you.

Something that you can play with.

Yes? Yeah.

Will you have a drink?

Oh, it's a little early.

This happens to be my own little pet.

I got a hold of a mine in New Mexico quite by accident.

Las Lomas Quicksilver.

I'll take a bottle of pop.

I don't care what you've heard, it's great stuff.

Hello? Yes. Who?

Oh, put him on. Put him on.

Hello, Bennett.

Yes.

Ah, that's good news, Steve.

Yes. Come as soon as you can.

Oh, all right, make it after lunch.

That's fine, boy. Goodbye.

That was young Bennett, Steve Bennett.

He's consented. He's coming into the firm. I asked him last night.

A fine choice.

He just cracked up in his own business.

Oh, I've had my eye on Steve for a long time.

He's going to be all right. He's a little conservative, needs guidance,

but he has good contacts.

You could put all of his customers into a cookie jar.

But those he has speak very highly of him.

When we take Bennett in, we'll take in his customers.

He's just the man we need right now.

Hi-ho, Quicksilver!

Why not? He'll sell it.

He won't spend his life sitting in that chair.

You see, he's not married to my daughter.

You boys go right ahead with your little family quarrel.

I'll go and see if I've been wiped out.

Yes, sir, Sam, I'm really falling into something.

No more worries, no responsibilities, no ulcers.

People beg for that Ralston stock.

All I'll have to do is come in, in the morning,

put my feet up on the desk, rock back, and go to sleep.

Every once in a while the door opens, a customer tiptoes in,

takes the stock off the desk, leaves a check, and tiptoes out.

Yeah, but who's gonna get up and open the door for them?

I don't know, but they're not going to make a drudge out of me.

What are you keeping all these pictures from the old office for?

They awful heavy on my lap.

What's the use of going to college if you don't keep the pictures?

Who are these fellows with these big spoons or something?

Spoons?

Those are oars. That's my rowing team.

Inter-collegiate champs '29-'30 and '32.

But what happened to '31?

The judges found out where we hid the outboard motor.

Snoops.

Say, this is the office for me.

The Taj Mahal with inkwells.

Taj Ma-who?

How do you do? I'm Mr. Bennett.

Oh, yes. How do you do, Mr. Bennett?

We've been expecting you.

Mr. Bennett is here, Mr. Ralston.

They ain't using pictures.

Hello, Steve. Hello, T.T.

Am I late? No, no. It's mighty good to have you with us.

Well, it's mighty good to be here too, T2... Uh, T.T.

Here, come on, Steve. I'll show you your office.

Okay.

I wish these pictures would carry me for a while.

You don't know how happy I am.

We're going to do great things together.

Now as soon as you get settled and comfortable, give me a buzz.

Just got hold of something you'll be crazy about.

The sweetest little issue...

Oh, that mellow, easy stuff to handle? Yeah.

That honey from orchids?

Mr. Ralston? Yes.

New Mexico is on the phone.

I'll tell you about it later. Give me a buzz.

All right, T.T.

Great fellow.

My name goes right there, in chromium.

Well, here we...

Oh, I'm sure this is only temporary.

That's the feeling I get.

No, I mean the office.

Still, this must be my office. It's too small for a telephone booth.

Don't do that! It gives me that buried alive feeling.

Hey, what am I brooding about? This is only my outer office.

I could really do things in an office like this.

Stockbrokers are always backing shows, being angels.

Oh, I beg your pardon...

Stevie, come on in. Come on in, pal.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr...

Honey... Miss Graham, I want you to meet Mr. Bennett,

one of my partners.

Partner?

Well, Mr. Donnelly's been promising

we'd get together for some time.

Oh, he has? Well, that's very nice. How do you do?

When Dick Donnelly tells you you'll meet someone, you meet him.

We've been talking about The Green Swan.

The green?

Yes, didn't Dickie tell you about The Green Swan?

Oh, should he?

I mean, do you think I'm old enough to know?

Her show, Stevie. Her show.

The one Linda's going to star in.

You know, I told you all about it.

He loved it.

Oh, the Swan.

Yes, that part where you come on with the...

And that fellow ran with the...

Oh, I thought I'd die laughing.

It's supposed to be a serious drama.

Yes. Well, so long.

Oh, tell me, Mr. Bennett.

Did you, uh...

Like it well enough to put any money into it?

Huh? Did he like it!

Well enough to want to put 15 grand in it.

Oh!

I must have been crazy about it.

Oh, Mr. Bennett, how can I thank you?

You won't regret it. Really, you won't.

We'll give Broadway something really fine this season.

Yeah, lucky Broadway.

Oh, well, I better go. It's a customer.

They get very impatient, so I...

Might hurt his head.

Well, you take...

Well, goodbye.

But, Mr. Bennett...

Hey, Samuel, get some bricks and mortar.

We're gonna seal up this door.

In the meantime, put a rat trap there.

Look what the porter brought.

Oh, they brought the things, huh? That's good.

I wanna get that list of my customers.

Ah, there it is.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Hello, Betty. Hello, Miss Saunders.

Say, I like your hair that way.

Thank you, Miss Saunders.

Good afternoon. Good afternoon.

Hello.

Oh, Miss Saunders?

I want to thank you for sending those books to Freddie.

But I'm afraid they're a little old for him.

Oh, well, he'll grow into them.

Hilda?

Oh, hello. Hello.

Tell Uncle Pudgy... Mr. Ralston, that I have to see him right away.

It's really important.

Certainly, Miss Saunders.

How have you been? Just fine.

Mr. Ralston, your niece is here to see you.

Uh-oh. Did you tell her I was in?

Yes, she's right here.

Well, tell her the office is full of people.

Oh, he's awfully sorry, but the office is full of people.

Oh, it is, hmm?

Well, try Mr. Donnelly.

Mr. Donnelly, Miss Saunders is here. Shall I send her in?
