What happened in Washington? Yes, what'd you find out? A.P., where do we stand? Uh, get me...
Something wrong with the clip?

Attorney to Kirby:
What happened in Washington?
Attorney to Kirby:
Yes, what'd you find out?
Attorney to Kirby:
A.P., where do we stand?
Anthony P. Kirby:
[as he approaches his desk]
Uh, get me some bicarbonate soda.
Attorney to Kirby:
How do we stand A.P.?
Anthony P. Kirby:
Well gentlemen, there will be no interference from the powers that be.
Attorney to Kirby:
There won't?
Attorney to Kirby:
That's marvelous.
Attorney to Kirby:
Are you sure?
Attorney to Kirby:
What about the senator with the antitrust complex?
Anthony P. Kirby:
[mostly to the previous attorney]
I said there'd be no interference.
[to all of them while periodically shaking his finger during the rest of the dialogue]
Anthony P. Kirby:
We're going ahead exactly as we planned. It'll be the largest individual monopoly in the world gentlemen, if we're smart; particularly now that Ramsey is lined up.
Attorney to Kirby:
Ramsey too?
Attorney to Kirby:
That's impossible.
Attorney to Kirby:
No,
[shakes his head]
Attorney to Kirby:
the administration would never stand for it.
Attorney to Kirby:
Why, we'd control every title of war material.
Anthony P. Kirby:
That's exactly it gentlemen. With the world going crazy, the next big move is munitions, and Kirby and Company are going to cash in on it.
Attorney to Kirby:
Haha, it's unbelievable.
Attorney to Kirby:
Why the war wouldn't be possible anyway without us.
[A.P. sits down and Tony yawns unmoved]
Attorney to Kirby:
A.P., if I know Ramsey, he'll never let himself be absorbed by anybody.
Anthony P. Kirby:
Oh he won't, eh?
Attorney to Kirby:
No.
Anthony P. Kirby:
Well we'll see if he will when I hand him a little surprise. I own every inch of the twelve blocks that completely surround the Ramsey factories.
Attorney to Kirby:
No!
Attorney to Kirby:
That's news to us.
Attorney to Kirby:
Well, we certainly didn't know anything about *that*.
Anthony P. Kirby:
So, huh, how is he going to fulfill his contracts without us? Now you'd better get busy. Complete all your negotiations with the others. I'll handle Ramsey myself.
Attorney to Kirby:
Yes sir.
Attorney to Kirby:
We'll hop right to it.
[the attorneys excitedly disperse and exit the room as Tony still looks unenthused]
Attorney to Kirby:
I have a meeting with my net-rate group later this afternoon.
Attorney to Kirby:
Oh good.
Anthony P. Kirby:
[his secretary hands him a glass of bicarbonate soda]
Ten thousand a year for doctors and I'm still taking this stuff.
[reluctantly takes a drink]
