It'll make you all happy to learn that our circulation this morning was the greatest in New York, 684,000.

Bernstein:
Six hundred and eighty-four thousand one hundred and thirty-two!

Charles:
Right! Having thus welcomed you, I hope you'll forgive my rudeness in taking leave of you. I'm going abroad next week for a vacation. I've promised my doctor for some time now that I'd leave when I could, and I now realize that I can't.

Bernstein:

Charles:
You can't blame me, Mr. Bernstein. They've been making statues for two thousand years, and I've only been buying for five.

Bernstein:
Promise me, Mr. Kane.

Charles:
I promise you, Mr. Bernstein.

Bernstein:
Thank you.

Charles:
Mr. Bernstein?...You don't expect me to keep any of those promises, do you?
