Is Mr. Colby at home?

- Who should I say is calling?

- Mr. Regan. Robert Regan

Come in, please.

Expecting someone?

Come this way, Mr. Regan.

- May I take your things, please?

- Oh, thank you.

Quite a place. A fella

could get lonesome.

Good evening, Mr. Regan.

- My name is Noel Faraday.

- Well, hello.

I'm representing Andrew Colby.

This, in case you've never seen one,

is not a summons.

Thank you.

When I'm worth 40 million dollars,

I'm going to have a secretary...

...who looks exactly like you.

Oh, my taste is fairly simple.

20 million would be quite enough.

How's Emilio Canepa?

Expecting a check.

I feel like a man of distinction.

Are you?

As distinctive as you can get it

at Public School 45.

Well, what's the idea

of this interview?

Why don't you ask Mr. Colby?

I thought you were his

personal secretary.

Oh, he keeps a few secrets

from me.

I couldn't.

What kind of a guy

is he, anyway?

Attractive,

...generous,

...warm-hearted,

...brilliant.

- Good shot, Mr. Colby.

- Thank you, won't you join me?

- I'm a little out of practice.

- Good.

Thank you, Noel.

Don't forget to save

your nickels, Mr. Regan.

20 million will do it.

That's a very attractive secretary

you have there, Mr. Colby.

I'm still young enough to notice

that myself, Mr. Regan.

Were you surprised to hear

from me so soon?

Sure I was surprised.

I was very much impressed

with you this afternoon.

That's funny. I didn't think

you'd feel like that.

I like your agressiveness,

your loyalty to your client.

It's a very rare thing to find

this days, loyalty.

You can buy it at any

dog store downtown.

Unfortunately, that's about

the only place.

How would you like to come and

work with me, Mr. Regan?

Sounds fine.

For considerably more money than

I believe you're earning now.

Sounds even better.

- It's all settled?

- Not quite.

What do I do for all this money?

What have I got that Porter

and Griswold haven't?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you

I needed another attorney.

Nothing more than if you told me

you needed another million dollars.

I didn't think you would.

Regan, you understand,

of course,

...that this is aprofessional,

rather than a social visit.

You can talk freely,

if that's what you mean

I'll try to make it short.

Up until five years ago I had

a business associate,

...a man named Leopold Kroner.

He became financially entangled,

...and took nearly a million dollars'

worth in bonds belonging to our firm.

He had counterfeit duplicates made, and

then using his position as an executive,

...sold those counterfeit bonds.

Clever boy.

Not so clever.

He was discovered and sent

to prison for five years.
