in a capital case,
82
00:03:55,276 --> 00:03:58,947

you spoke warmly of Brooks.

- Did you know him well?
- Oh, since he was a boy.

gave him piano lessons.

Uh, about as good as he was
at anything else.
362
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:47,102
The poor man. He was like
a French realist painting.
363

- God, that disaster.
367
00:19:59,489 --> 00:20:02,242

368
00:20:02,242 --> 00:20:04,661
Well, the banks funding
his stadium project,
369
00:20:04,661 --> 00:20:05,913
they went belly up in '31,
370
00:20:05,913 --> 00:20:09,082
so he came to me
hoping I would step in.
371
00:20:09,082 --> 00:20:11,585
- Did you?
- Oh, not a chance.
372
00:20:11,585 --> 00:20:15,213
Besides, he was trying to do it
behind his father's back.
