As Young as You Feel Page #5

Our only hope is to make a good impression.

I'd like to see some drawn looks

on your faces, as if you'd been

working overtime for months.

And I'd like to see

this place really humming.

Gallagher, how about that trouble we've

been having with the Bookbinders Local?

- We've got at least a month

before any action will be taken.

- Never mind how much time.

I'd like to strike a note of accord

in time for the inspection...

give an impression of a factory full

of happy employees.

- What do they want?

- Another restroom on the second floor.

Okay. Get it installed immediately.

I'm not letting our relations

with Consolidated be disrupted

over some bookbinder's comfort.

Harriet, who's head of the program

committee at the Chamber of Commerce?

- Arnold Willoughby.

- I want to talk to him on the phone.

Then get my wife, dear.

- What does he look like?

- Great guns! Don't you know?

- I never saw him in my life.

- Well, of all the idiotic things!

A big man like

Mr. Cleveland, a man who...

The president of Consolidated Motors.

[Indistinct]

Ah, Mr. McKinley, what

a pleasant surprise to find you here.

- I hadn't anticipated such a welcome.

- You're... You're...

Cleveland.

Harold P. Cleveland.

Well, how do you do, Mr. Cleveland?

This is indeed a great honor.

- Thank you.

- May I present my associates?

Oh, I recognize Mr. Saltonstall

and Mr. Gallagher too.

- A pleasure to see you, gentlemen.

- How did you know?

I make it a practice to familiarize myself

with all my associates and employees.

- Shall we go?

- Yes, of course. My car's outside.

- Take Mr. Cleveland's briefcase.

- Oh, no, thank you.

I can manage myself.

Any special department

you'd like to inspect?

We'll start with the handpress department

and the composing room.

Afterwards, I'd like a word

with your executives.

I've already issued orders for all our executives

to place themselves at your disposal.

- Splendid.

- Mr. Cleveland, may I ask...

is there any special

significance to your visit?

Special significance?

Not at all.

It's only a routine inspection tour.

That about covers it, Mr. Cleveland...

unless you'd be interested in inspecting

our personnel department.

I think I've seen all that's necessary.

[Gasping]

[McKinley] Here we are, Mr. Cleveland.

This is our conference room.

- What's the matter?

- Well, I'll be a...

- Do you know who that was?

- Sure. The president

of Consolidated Motors.

The president of Consolidated Motors,

my hind foot!

- That was John Hodges.

- Who?

John Hodges of our handpress department,

my girl's grandfather.

- Your girl's what?

- Grandfather. Didn't you see him wink at me?

- Certainly not. What are you talking about?
