Miss Mead:
Mm, Mr. Andros? Paul Andros:
Hm? Miss Mead:
I don't suppose you've ever before been approached by a perfectly strange woman in a hotel lounge asking you for 153,750 pounds? Paul Andros:
No, I don't think I have. Miss Mead:
My name is Miss Mead. I'm the personal private secretary of Mr. Les Mangrum. Paul Andros:
Who's he? Miss Mead:
The President of Mangrum Tractors. You've heard of Mangrum Tractors? Paul Andros:
Yes, I have, I think. That's the firm that's been taken over by Amalgamated Motors. Miss Mead:
They haven't, not yet, they will tomorrow. Of course, it's not a very big firm, as far as your standards are concerned, but it's a wonderful firm, and it... makes wonderful tractors. Paul Andros:
I have no reason to doubt what you're telling me. If Mangrum Tractors wasn't a good firm, Amalgamated Motors would hardly have wanted to take it over. Miss Mead:
This is... this is the last balance sheet [handing it to him] Miss Mead:
. Paul Andros:
[looking at it]
Yes, very impressive. I can see well why Mr. Mangrum wishes to keep it as his own. Miss Mead:
And he should keep it as his own! He built it from nothing into this, and these big monopoly combines should be fought! Paul Andros:
Yes, I agree. They should be fought. Miss Mead:
If only you knew the fight he put up these last three months. Paul Andros:
I can well imagine. To fight Amalgamated Motors would be quite a battle, Miss Mead, even for me. Miss Mead:
And until today - well, a few hours ago even - he'd won it. And then someone let him down, and he had to write a check, and there's no money to cover it. And now this fog. [getting her handkerchief] Miss Mead:
I feel so sorry for him, Mr. Andros, he's, he's such a wonderful man, and he's so young, and I'm sorry, you must think I'm mad, it's just that [wiping her nose] Miss Mead:
we've been through so much, and tonight I had some champagne... Paul Andros:
Does he know how much you love him? Miss Mead:
[stunned]
Who... who said I loved him? It's the company. Paul Andros:
Yes... they make wonderful tractors
