00:02 hello. hello. how did you get here so soon? Hannah! I just left in the broker's office.

00:13 my driver knows all the shortcuts in New York. I didn't expect you that soon.

00:17 neither did your secretary. Stephanie dear you may leave now. the stock is up to eight

00:24 and three-eighths. I've made a hundred and twenty thousand dollars so far. good for you. you need me.

00:31 maybe you need me even more. that your husband? yes. was that painted before or

00:37 after he died? six months he said for that. maybe that's what killed him. you are a

00:44 wicked man. tell me where did you learn the market so thoroughly? I studied in

00:54 Europe. how would you like to make twelve thousand dollars cash immediately? I

00:58 would love to. what do I have to do for it? just write me a check for twenty

01:03 thousand dollars. do you really think I'm an idiot? look I will sell you four

01:08 thousand shares of Wentworth drug at five dollars a share. the stock is

01:12 selling at eight dollars. you make three points. that's roughly twelve thousand

01:15 dollars less commission. it's a gift. why would you do that? well let's say it's

01:22 because you appeal to me. twelve thousand dollars is a pretty good price but I

01:29 cannot be bought. I might be influenced but never bought.

01:46 mr. O'Hara please. mr. O'Hara this is mrs. Ryan. what is the latest quote on

01:53 Wentworth drug? I see. would you please transfer four thousand shares from mr.

02:01 Sabourin's account to mine? he's right here. he'll confirm it. O'Hara it's all

02:08 right to transfer the stock to mrs. Ryan's account. I'll be in the office

02:11 later and can sign all the papers then. all right goodbye. here. thank you. now we have a deal.

02:17 right. the stock is now up to ten. what? I made roughly twenty thousand dollars

02:26 instead of twelve. I outsmarted you mr. Sabourin. well I always admire anyone who

02:33 can outsmart me.
