Ten cents a share. Telephone sold for five cents a share. How would you like something better for ten cents a share? If five gets ya ten, ten'll get ya twenty. A beautiful home in the country, upstairs and down. Beer flowing through the estate over your grandmother's paisley shawl. Og Oggilby:
Beer? Egbert Sousé:
Beer! Fishing in the stream that runs under the aboreal dell. A man comes up from the bar, dumps $3,500 in your lap for every nickel invested. Says to you, "Sign here on the dotted line." And then disappears in the waving fields of alfalfa

- These shares are selling for ten cents a share and...
00:00:12.776 --> 00:00:15.037
- Ten cents, eh? - Oh, that's terrible.
00:00:15.446 --> 00:00:18.313
These shares are selling for ten cents a share.
00:00:18.382 --> 00:00:21.051
- A telephone company once sold for five cents a share. - Five cents?
00:00:21.585 --> 00:00:25.817
These shares are twice as expensive, therefore they'll be twice as valuable!
00:00:25.889 --> 00:00:28.323
- Sure, they will. - Naturally you're no dunce.
00:00:28.392 --> 00:00:33.997
The telephone is now listed at $1.73, and you can't buy it.
00:00:33.013 --> 00:00:37.567
$3,460 for every nickel you put into it.
00:00:37.635 --> 00:00:41.196
The point I'm trying to make is this...
00:00:41.271 --> 00:00:43.398
- Huh? - The point I'm trying to make is:
00:00:43.474 --> 00:00:46.875
These shares sell for ten cents. It's simple arithmetic.
00:00:46.944 --> 00:00:50.978
- If five will get you ten, ten will get you 20! - Sure.
00:00:50.998 --> 00:00:55.416
Sixteen cylinder cars. A big home in the city. Balconies upstairs and down.
00:00:55.486 --> 00:00:58.819
Home in the country. Big trees. Private golf course.
00:00:58.889 --> 00:01:01.119
Stream running through the rear of the estate.
00:01:01.191 --> 00:01:04.456
Warm Sunday afternoon fishing under the cool trees.
00:01:04.001 --> 00:01:07.292
Sipping ice-cold beer.
00:01:07.364 --> 00:01:09.073
I can almost see the foam.
00:01:09.008 --> 00:01:12.001
- Ham and cheese on rye. - With mustard.
00:01:12.999 --> 00:01:15.001
- Yeah. - We have plenty of mustard at the house.
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.505
And then this guy comes up the shady drive in an armored car from a bank.
00:01:19.999 --> 00:01:22.477
And he dumps a whole basket of coupons...
00:01:22.001 --> 00:01:25.982
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars right in your lap.
00:01:26.997 --> 00:01:29.383
And he says, "Sign here, please, on the dotted line. "
00:01:29.453 --> 00:01:31.387
I'll have a fountain pen by that time.
00:01:31.455 --> 00:01:33.685
And then he's off to the soft chirping...
00:01:33.001 --> 00:01:36.999
of our feathered friends in the arboreal dell.
00:01:36.001 --> 00:01:39.999
- That's what these bonds mean. - They do, eh?
00:01:39.001 --> 00:01:43.628
I'd rather part with my dear old grandmother's paisley shawl or her wedding ring...
00:01:43.999 --> 00:01:45.001
than to part with these bonds.
