nine-thirty, mr. preysing keeps us waiting.
and ask me what it's costing us to hammer it down.
if the preysing people get the manchester contract, we shall certainly merge with the preysing company -- but if they haven't they're ruined -- preysing will have to declare himself.
very simple -- i've always liked the way you dressed, preysing -- english, isn't it?
they turn out marvelous material in manchester.
there's a lot of business to be done with the manchester cotton company. they've the whole english market right in their hands. have you any connections with -- manchester?
i mean with the manchester people?
all right.
oh -- yes -- i beg your pardon!
mop rags --!
what we want to know about is manchester.
oh -- preysing, preysing --
all you have to do is phone for it.
oh -- now let's talk like adults. you want to tell us now a along story of what your factory can do. we know all that you could tell us and if you tell the truth it wouldn't sound so good. when you first approached us.
tentative my foot -- a month before this your old father-in-law came very privately and scratched at my door.
of course you took the initiative.
how clear is manchester?
thank god we're beginning at the beginning.
we did not approach you.
and i said we didn't.
i've admitted that at one time we had reason for desiring ther merger -- what reason have we now? the preysing company has fallon upon evil days, very evil days.
mop rags -- mop rags -- we're interested in something quite different!
why waste time -- it's getting late.
ah, come on -- we're going home.
you've talked enough today, you're hoarse now.
sorry, preysing.
yes --
yes --
goodbye, preysing, i hope you pull through. this is a very bad time to be in such a crisis. we've.
what?
if you actually have news from manchester then.
preysing, you're joking with us.
in that case give us the articles. we'll sign at once. we know all the details.
under these circumstances it's quite a different matter.
come on -- business is business -- come on --
here's my signature -- here preysing, sign here.
see you soon, preysing. next week we'll meet and discuss further details.
