Edison, the Man (1940)

Felix Bressart: Michael Simon

Quotes 

• Thomas A. Edison : [after the latest attempt to find a filament that will work in the electric light]  Well, we failed again. That's the net result of nine thousand experiments.

  Michael Simon : Too bad, Tom. We know the work you have done. We are as sorry as you are that you didn't get results.

  Thomas A. Edison : Results? Man, I got a lot of results. I know nine thousand things now that won't work.
