Mr. J.B. Baxter:
I hope I'm not intruding.
Jimmy MacDonald:
Oh, no, sir. I - I was just coming down to see you. We... stopped in to take a look at the office and...
Mr. J.B. Baxter:
So I noted. I hope you like it.
Betty Casey:
Oh, it's beautiful.
Mr. J.B. Baxter:
It isn't every young man who gets his own office *and* a private secretary at your age. With many of 'em I might be afraid it would go to their head. But I think you have your feet pretty solidly on the ground.
Jimmy MacDonald:
Mr. Baxter, the...
Mr. J.B. Baxter:
Oh, I mean it sincerely! Mr. Jenkins and I discussed our little meeting at *great* length after you left and I want you to know that we were genuinely impressed. Genuinely so!
Jimmy MacDonald:
Well that's certainly nice to hear.
Mr. J.B. Baxter:
The more we thought about your ideas, the more aware we became of their... pungency! Of their gravity!
Jimmy MacDonald:
Well, that's...
Mr. J.B. Baxter:
Of their crispness!
Jimmy MacDonald:
Well, thank you, sir, it's certainly...
Mr. J.B. Baxter:
You have a genuine talent for slogans. It must be like having an ear for music. Now you take me - I sing flat. And you, on the other hand, are a born sloganeer. "It's bread in the bean." Hot ziggitty!
Jimmy MacDonald:
Well, it's certainly wonderful to hear, Mr. Baxter. I kinda got something on my mind, but you've certainly made me feel a lot better. I mean - they're still the same ideas, aren't they? If... they... were good this afternoon, they're - they're still good. Well, they'd - they'd have to be. They're the same.
Betty Casey:
Of course they are.
Jimmy MacDonald:
Of course they are.
Mr. J.B. Baxter:
I'm not quite sure that I have your thought.
Jimmy MacDonald:
I mean if you thought the ideas were good this afternoon you - you - still think they're good, don't you?
Mr. J.B. Baxter:
Well of course I do!
[incredulous]
Mr. J.B. Baxter:
Why?
Jimmy MacDonald:
Well, I mean since they *were* good and they're *still* good, they have to be *good*. And then it wouldn't make so much difference - or - or *any* difference if I hadn't won the contest... the - the Maxford House contest. Would it?
Mr. J.B. Baxter:
[incredulous]
Of course it would make a difference.
Jimmy MacDonald:
[disappointed]
Oh... it would.
Mr. J.B. Baxter:
Certainly, it would!
