Neighbor:
[everyone converges around Grandpa as he arrives in the neighborhood]
Did you hear about it, Grandpa? We maybe all have to move. Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff:
Who said so? Maggie O'Neill:
Well everybody's talking about it, somebody's buying up everything. Neighbor:
I hear they're buying it up for a big factory or something. Schmidt:
My landlord told me he wouldn't have sold only they offered him so much money. Neighbor:
Nobody wants to move, Grandpa, you know that. Neighbor:
And we just put up some shelves, cost $60. Neighbor:
I've been here for 20 years. Mrs. Schmidt:
I think we should see somebody. Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff:
Now wait just a minute, don't get excited. We've all been neighbors for a long time, I know that. But if they're buying this property up for a factory, they'll need every foot of ground, won't they? Neighbor:
I guess so. Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff:
Well now suppose I won't sell them my place, what're they going to do? Neighbor:
That's right, you own your place. Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff:
Sure I do. Neighbor:
And they're going to need it too, won't they? Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff:
You bet they will, and it'll take more than money to make me sell my property. Now go on, get back to work and stop cluttering up the street - we'll all be arrested. [everyone laughs and leaves]

-Mr. Jensen, did you get one of these?
-Sure. We have to get out in 10 days.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.126
-We all have to move.
-I can't understand it.
00:00:08.021 --> 00:00:12.213
Grandpa said if they couldn't buy his house,
nobody would have to move.
00:00:12.464 --> 00:00:13.631
Look.
00:00:41.529 --> 00:00:43.053
Sorry, Mr. Kirby can't be disturbed.
00:00:43.614 --> 00:00:45.115
I think it's all over, don't you?
00:00:45.199 --> 00:00:47.701
Hello? Sorry, Mr. Kirby's not available.
00:00:49.452 --> 00:00:52.537
Hello. He's not answering his phone.
Sorry.
00:00:52.622 --> 00:00:53.664
I've just been upstairs.
00:00:53.748 --> 00:00:57.709
All our board members are there,
and the heads of those six little companies.
00:00:57.751 --> 00:00:59.585
This merger's going to make history!
00:00:59.711 --> 00:01:02.003
The market doesn't know
whether to buy or sell.
00:01:02.171 --> 00:01:04.422
I hope we're right.
I have everything sunk in this.
00:01:04.001 --> 00:01:07.999
-Stop bellyaching. We can't miss.
-Where's Kirby?
00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:10.003
-In there. We've been waiting for him.
-Who's with him?
00:01:10.007 --> 00:01:12.783
Nobody. He's probably bowing
to the other Kirbys on the wall.
00:01:12.999 --> 00:01:15.265
Hello. No.
Tell the senator to keep his shirt on.
00:01:15.348 --> 00:01:19.196
-Kirby wants him to stay in Washington.
-No newspapers until after the meeting.
00:01:19.321 --> 00:01:21.845
Ramsey make trouble for us?
You're crazy. He's broke.
00:01:21.999 --> 00:01:24.244
He's finished.
Kirby hasn't even left him carfare.
00:01:24.286 --> 00:01:25.941
You've got to hand it to the old man.
00:01:26.003 --> 00:01:28.217
How he squeezed down on old Ramsey,
beautiful.
00:01:28.003 --> 00:01:31.279
It wouldn't surprise me
if he were to blow his brains out.
00:01:31.404 --> 00:01:32.521
They're waiting up there.
00:01:32.563 --> 00:01:35.169
Get Kirby and get this over with
before something happens.
00:01:35.211 --> 00:01:38.999
-Good idea.
-Wait, you know he doesn't like that.
00:01:38.001 --> 00:01:39.001
Look at the time.
00:01:39.001 --> 00:01:42.286
I'll get him on the phone.
Maybe he won't mind that.
00:01:42.037 --> 00:01:44.852
Get me Mr. Kirby in the conference room.
00:02:14.999 --> 00:02:16.001
Hello. Yeah.
00:02:16.001 --> 00:02:19.999
Certainly. Well, come on.
What are you waiting for?
00:02:22.137 --> 00:02:24.999
They're waiting upstairs.
We'd better be getting up there.
00:02:24.999 --> 00:02:27.226
-Have you got your proxies?
-Including Kincaid's.
00:02:27.309 --> 00:02:29.999
When we offered him presidency,
he jumped at it.
00:02:30.992 --> 00:02:30.001
You offered what?
00:02:31.989 --> 00:02:34.999
I explained you wanted to be
the chairman of the board of directors.
00:02:34.999 --> 00:02:36.999
Tell him it's a mistake.
I've chosen the president.
00:02:36.999 --> 00:02:38.001
Anthony Kirby, Jr. is to be president.
00:02:39.007 --> 00:02:40.964
-Tony? He's much too young, A.P.
-Is he?
00:02:41.002 --> 00:02:44.987
-What about our promise to Kincaid?
-Forget about him.
00:02:44.001 --> 00:02:47.002
-But, we have obligations--
-I said, forget about him.
00:02:47.999 --> 00:02:50.999
Now, please, Mr. Ramsey,
Mr. Kirby is very busy and he--
