this place is his job. And I'm tired of living
in a little, tall bedroom and never having any money
to enjoy myself. I want to be rich.

I'm happy.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I'm not getting ahead fast enough in that place. I've

But I could do his work better than he can. Hi.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Gentlemen of the Board of Directors. I am humbly grateful,
What if high honor you have this dought on me?
When I first chame to this wonderful organization as a
seeker after employment, I said to myself, from my honor,
I could ever hope to attain it, to be a
hard working member of that great, happy family. Well, that
(04:01):
that is how I think of this great organization of
which I am now. I'm very happy to be the president.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'm how to kill.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No malan is no weigh out. I've tried so high
and I know I give you credit for that, Marilyn,
but it won't work. I'm not being tough about it,
my dear, but it just has to happen this way.
When did you stop loving me? My dear? Don't ask
such silly questions? Tell me when I said, don't be
silly kings, don't be dramatic, my dear. I've given you,
(04:40):
I know, the best years of your life. Really, I
loved you so very much. I wasn't I mean, you
shouldn't have left me, Maryland. I'm going that the glamor
is typen. I know well, it's all over now, Maryland perfect.
(05:01):
I've been over all that before, my dear, not if
you don't mind, when did you stop loving me? If
I told you not to ask that I got the please,
I got a new drink, A new dress isn't enough.
I'm sorry. In Ireland, I've got to remember my position.
I loved you. I'm sorry. Now, let's not get emotional,
shall we?
Speaker 4 (05:21):

Speaker 1 (05:22):
For my sake?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
When did you stop loving me?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
By? If you must know, Marylyn, I never loved you
at all.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
A time to kill and the time to heal.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
No, it's only tax money. I pay Maryland a very
substantial sell of money each month. I don't know what
else she needs to be happy. I think I've been
very generous with Marylyn. She has the hobs, the money.
What more does she want? Let's not worry about Maryland.
She's all right.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I'm time to break down, me to do.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I don't care what you do, Edgar. It makes no
difference at all to me. I've got to get out. No,
you you don't really have to get out, Edgar. You
still have some stock in the business. I said something,
But you have most of certainly I have most of it. Edgar,
certainly I have. When you made me president of the company,
I made up my mind that by book good By Cook,
(06:29):
I was going to get a controlling interest in the company.
Now I have it, and that's all. I founded this
company forty five years ago, and you can have a
job with it as long as you live, Edgar, that
I promise you. I remember you when you first came
to me. You said you'd start at the button and
work your way up to that I did, Edgar. You
said you were industrious. Haven't I been an industrious, honest
(06:49):
and conscientious And today you sit in my chair in
my office and you tell me that there'll always be
a job for me in my own company. Then that
I mean, Edgar, there'll be job for you in this company,
just as long as you live.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
The time to break down and the time to build up.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Well, no, mister Treedell, I don't have a controlling interest
in the business anymore. No, yes, yes, oh, I look
on the company of today with some pride, of course,
but it isn't right the old days when I would
I beg your pardon. Oh yes, yes, we're branched all
over the world now under the new management, we've expanded amazingly. Yes, indeed,
(07:35):
I'd be very glad to see you, but I think
that you should see the chairman of our board of directors.
He's a very remarkable man. He's personally responsible for the
expansion of the company. No, no, no, I haven't retired.
I'm still with the company, and I said I don't
have a controlling interest anymore. But you can't miss me
when you call. I'm in charge of the reception desk
just as you come in the front door.

I was very fond of her. I'm deeply decillated to
hear of her death. Yes, we were separated several years ago,
no matter of ben compatibility the y sports, you'd say,
but I've always maintained the high of the God for her.

(01:57):
I work and study and try to be useful to
you and for me, and you'll find I'm a hard
worker and honest and conscientious. And when the time comes,
you'll promote me, and you'll find that I'm a very
good man to have in your organization. Sir. Oh, yes,
thank you, thank you. I'm not afraid of work. I'm
(02:22):
always here on time in the morning. I'm here before
nine o'clock. And you're no better than I am. You
see that you're here at nine o'clock tour. I'll tell both,
and I'll fire you. I'm gonna let you stand in
my way. I'm gonna be a success in life. I
want a better job, and the only better job in
this place is his job. And I'm tired of living
in a little, tall bedroom and never having any money
to enjoy myself. I want to be rich.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I'm happy.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I'm not getting ahead fast enough in that place. I've
got to get a hit. Why you know, sir, high
like John all right? I did he define young man?
But I could do his work better than he can. Hi.
I told you I've worked and study and try to
(03:07):
be useful to you, Sir. I'm only being useful when
I say John isn't doing his work as efficient because
he should. Fine, thank you, sir. I'm sure you know
I'm thinking only of the business. After all, I have
worked hard in your behalf.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Sir, time silence, and TI to stuck up which he's planking.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Gentlemen of the Board of Directors. I am humbly grateful,
What if high honor you have this dought on me?
When I first chame to this wonderful organization as a
seeker after employment, I said to myself, from my honor,
I could ever hope to attain it, to be a
hard working member of that great, happy family. Well, that
(04:01):
that is how I think of this great organization of
which I am now. I'm very happy to be the president.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'm how to kill.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No malan is no weigh out. I've tried so high
and I know I give you credit for that, Marilyn,
but it won't work. I'm not being tough about it,
my dear, but it just has to happen this way.
When did you stop loving me? My dear? Don't ask
such silly questions? Tell me when I said, don't be
silly kings, don't be dramatic, my dear. I've given you,
(04:40):
I know, the best years of your life. Really, I
loved you so very much. I wasn't I mean, you
shouldn't have left me, Maryland. I'm going that the glamor
is typen. I know well, it's all over now, Maryland perfect.
(05:01):
I've been over all that before, my dear, not if
you don't mind, when did you stop loving me? If
I told you not to ask that I got the please,
I got a new drink, A new dress isn't enough.
I'm sorry. In Ireland, I've got to remember my position.
I loved you. I'm sorry. Now, let's not get emotional,
shall we?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Please?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
For my sake?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
When did you stop loving me?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
By? If you must know, Marylyn, I never loved you
at all.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
A time to kill and the time to heal.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
No, it's only tax money. I pay Maryland a very
substantial sell of money each month. I don't know what
else she needs to be happy. I think I've been
very generous with Marylyn. She has the hobs, the money.
What more does she want? Let's not worry about Maryland.
She's all right.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I'm time to break down, me to do.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I don't care what you do, Edgar. It makes no
difference at all to me. I've got to get out. No,
you you don't really have to get out, Edgar. You
still have some stock in the business. I said something,
But you have most of certainly I have most of it. Edgar,
certainly I have. When you made me president of the company,
I made up my mind that by book good By Cook,
(06:29):
I was going to get a controlling interest in the company.
Now I have it, and that's all. I founded this
company forty five years ago, and you can have a
job with it as long as you live, Edgar, that
I promise you. I remember you when you first came
to me. You said you'd start at the button and
work your way up to that I did, Edgar. You
said you were industrious. Haven't I been an industrious, honest
(06:49):
and conscientious And today you sit in my chair in
my office and you tell me that there'll always be
a job for me in my own company. Then that
I mean, Edgar, there'll be job for you in this company,
just as long as you live.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
The time to break down and the time to build up.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Well, no, mister Treedell, I don't have a controlling interest
in the business anymore. No, yes, yes, oh, I look
on the company of today with some pride, of course,
but it isn't right the old days when I would
I beg your pardon. Oh yes, yes, we're branched all
over the world now under the new management, we've expanded amazingly. Yes, indeed,
(07:35):
I'd be very glad to see you, but I think
that you should see the chairman of our board of directors.
He's a very remarkable man. He's personally responsible for the
expansion of the company. No, no, no, I haven't retired.
I'm still with the company, and I said I don't
have a controlling interest anymore. But you can't miss me
when you call. I'm in charge of the reception desk
just as you come in the front door.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I'm two weeks.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I'm very very sorry, but really I'm all broken up.
He has sis been years since I've seen Maryland, but
I was very fond of her. I'm deeply decillated to
hear of her death. Yes, we were separated several years ago,
no matter of ben compatibility the y sports, you'd say,
but I've always maintained the high of the God for her.
(08:25):
I'm very sorry she died, Miss Iverson. I have some
flower sound to this address. How all about twenty dollars

older than I am. And I suppose the business has
been going better and better while I've been behind the
high walls. And then I suppose that's why you looked
