00:03Well, look who's here.
00:16Georgie.
00:20Good to see you.
00:21How are you, Joe?
00:23So-so.
00:24Gettin' old.
00:27You coming out to dinner with us?
00:29No, gotta be back in New York.
00:31I'll call a cab for you.
00:32Too bad you can't stay, George.
00:35Sit down.
00:39He looks fine.
00:40He looks terrible.
00:42Yeah, that's what I said. You look terrible, George.
00:44See, I wear the pants.
00:46She beats me with the belt.
00:51I saw your factory on the way from the station.
00:56Looks like General Motors.
01:01I wish it was General Motors.
01:04But it ain't.
01:08Sit down, George.
01:14Sit down.
01:28So you finally went to see your father, I hear?
01:33Yes, this morning.
01:36What kind of stuff do you make now?
01:40Little of everything.
01:41Pressure cookers, an assembly for washing machines.
01:45I've got a nice, flexible plant now.
01:49How do you find Dad? Feel all right?
01:52No, he's not well, Joe.
01:55It's not his heart again, is it?
01:56It's everything, Joe.
01:58It's his soul.
02:02Uh-huh.
02:04How about seeing what they did to your house?
02:06Leave him be.
02:07I'd like to talk to him.
02:08Just got here.
02:10See, that's the way they do, George.
02:12Little man makes a mistake, they hang him by the thumbs.
02:15The big ones become ambassadors.
02:19I wish you told me you were going to see Dad.
02:23I didn't know you were interested.
02:25Well, in a way, I am.
02:32I would like him to know, George, that as far as I am concerned,
02:38anytime he wants, he's got a place with me.
02:41I would like him to know that.
02:43He hates your guts, Joe.
02:46Don't you know that?
02:46I imagined it, but that can change too.
02:48Steve was never like that.
02:49He's like that now.
02:52He'd like to take every man who made money in the war
02:55and put him up against a wall.
02:57He'll need a lot of bullets.
02:58And he'd better not get any.
02:59That's a sad thing to hear.
03:00Why?
03:03What did you expect him to think of you?
03:05Just sad to see he hasn't changed.
03:06As long as I know him, that's 25 years.
03:08The man never learned how to take the blame.
03:12And you know that, George.
03:15Well, I...
03:16But you do know it.
03:18Because the way you come in here,
03:20it don't look like you remember it!
