Tom Blyth: Archie Baldwin

Quotes 

• George Russell : As I say, I've discussed you with Mr. Seligman and he is prepared to take you on as a broker, with excellent prospects. In a few years, you could be a rich man.

  Archie Baldwin : I don't know what to say. But you won't regret it, Mr. Russell. I promise... I will make sure Gladys...

  George Russell : There are conditions.

  Archie Baldwin : What are they, sir? Just tell me.

  George Russell : You may send a final letter, and after that, you will never communicate with my daughter again. You will not see her. And if you encounter each other socially, you will avoid any contact, providing you can do so without causing comment.

  Archie Baldwin : But I... I thought...

  George Russell : You were mistaken, Mr. Baldwin.

  Archie Baldwin : This is why you brought me here?

  George Russell : I am sorry to say so, but it is.

  Archie Baldwin : What if I refuse?

  George Russell : If you refuse, which you are, of course, fully entitled to do, then I will make sure that you never work in the financial sector of our economy again.

  Archie Baldwin : But that's what I do.

  George Russell : Not if you turn down my offer. But be assured that I will honor it. I meant it when I said you'd be rich.
