1
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:07,599
Copy boy!

2
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:12,504
- Make it snappy.
- Where's the rest of this story?

3
00:01:12,705 --> 00:01:13,933
<i>Morning Post.</i>

4
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:16,802
City desk? Just a moment
and I'll connect you.

5
00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:19,840
If anybody asks for me,
I'm down at the courthouse.

6
00:01:20,213 --> 00:01:22,147
- Elevator!
- Going down.

7
00:01:27,053 --> 00:01:29,453
- Hello, Hildy.
- Hi, Skinny.

8
00:01:29,656 --> 00:01:31,556
Hello, Ruth, Maisie.

9
00:01:32,358 --> 00:01:35,850
- Is the lord of the universe in?
- Yes, in a bad humor.

10
00:01:36,062 --> 00:01:37,586
Somebody must've stolen
the crown jewel.

11
00:01:37,797 --> 00:01:40,265
- Shall we announce you?
- I'll blow my own horn.

12
00:01:41,101 --> 00:01:43,626
Bruce, wait here.
I'll be back in ten minutes.

13
00:01:43,837 --> 00:01:47,170
Even ten minutes is a long time
to be away from you.

14
00:01:48,007 --> 00:01:49,440
What did you say?

15
00:01:51,978 --> 00:01:53,206
Go on.

16
00:01:54,380 --> 00:01:55,380
Well, go ahead.

17
00:01:55,548 --> 00:01:58,984
I just said, "Even ten minutes is
a long time to be away from you".

18
00:01:59,185 --> 00:02:03,121
I heard you. I like it.
That's why I asked you to say it again.

19
00:02:03,323 --> 00:02:04,517
I like being spoiled.

20
00:02:04,724 --> 00:02:07,192
The man I'm going in to see
did little spoiling.

21
00:02:07,393 --> 00:02:09,918
I'd like to spoil him.
Want me to go with you?

22
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:12,530
- I can handle it.
- Lf it gets rough, I'm here.

23
00:02:12,732 --> 00:02:14,666
I'll come running, partner.

24
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:17,167
- Hello, Jim.
- Hello, Hildy!

25
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:19,631
- How are you?
- Welcome back.

26
00:02:19,839 --> 00:02:22,000
Hello, Hildy, how have you been?

27
00:02:23,776 --> 00:02:26,040
Beatrice, how's
"Advice to the Lovelorn"?

28
00:02:26,246 --> 00:02:29,044
- Fine. My cat had kittens again.
- Your own fault.

29
00:02:29,749 --> 00:02:31,580
Glad to see you. Hi, Jim.

30
00:02:31,784 --> 00:02:33,649
Mildred, you still around?

31
00:02:36,055 --> 00:02:38,046
A little more around the chin, boss.

32
00:02:38,691 --> 00:02:39,691
What do you want?

33
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:41,760
Your ex-wife is here.

34
00:02:44,130 --> 00:02:45,563
Hello, Hildy.

35
00:02:45,765 --> 00:02:47,255
Hello, Walter.

36
00:02:48,201 --> 00:02:50,635
Hello, Louie.
How's the big slot machine king?

37
00:02:50,837 --> 00:02:54,204
I ain't doing that no more.
I'm retired. You know what I mean?

38
00:02:54,407 --> 00:02:56,102
- Walter.
- I'm busy!

39
00:02:57,343 --> 00:02:59,834
The governor didn't sign
that reprieve.

40
00:03:00,046 --> 00:03:03,106
Tomorrow, Earl Williams dies
and makes a sucker out of us.

41
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:05,942
What are you going to do?

42
00:03:06,152 --> 00:03:07,312
- Phone the governor.
- I can't.

43
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,545
- Why not?
- He's out fishing.

44
00:03:09,756 --> 00:03:13,192
- How many places are there?
- At least two, Atlantic and Pacific.

45
00:03:13,393 --> 00:03:14,985
That simplifies it, doesn't it?

46
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:16,685
- Get him on the phone.
- And say what?

47
00:03:16,896 --> 00:03:18,955
Quiet, Duffy. He's thinking.

48
00:03:19,966 --> 00:03:23,163
Tell him if he reprieves Earl Williams,
we'll support him for senator.

49
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:25,462
<i>Tell him the Morning Post
will be behind him.</i>

50
00:03:25,672 --> 00:03:26,764
- You can't do that.
- Why not?

51
00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:29,373
We've been a Democratic paper
for over 20 years.

52
00:03:29,576 --> 00:03:32,568
After we get the reprieve,
we'll be Democratic again.

53
00:03:33,012 --> 00:03:34,138
Go on, Duffy, get going.

54
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:37,316
<i>The Morning Post expects
every editor to do his duty.</i>

55
00:03:37,517 --> 00:03:40,042
You too, Louie.
Get out of here.

56
00:03:44,824 --> 00:03:47,258
Well, Walter,
I see you're still at it.

57
00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:50,554
First time I double-crossed a governor.
What can I do for you?

58
00:03:50,763 --> 00:03:52,458
Would you mind if I sat down?

59
00:03:52,665 --> 00:03:55,566
There's a lamp burning in the
window for you. Here.

60
00:03:55,768 --> 00:03:58,760
I jumped out of that window
a long time ago, Walter.

61
00:04:02,208 --> 00:04:03,971
May I have one of those?

62
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:06,303
Thank you.

63
00:04:08,915 --> 00:04:10,678
And a match?

64
00:04:11,317 --> 00:04:12,875
Thank you.

65
00:04:17,957 --> 00:04:19,948
- How long is it?
- How long is what?

66
00:04:20,193 --> 00:04:21,251
You know what.

67
00:04:21,461 --> 00:04:23,827
How long is it since
we've seen each other?

68
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:26,789
Well, let's see.

69
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,061
I spent six weeks in Reno,
then Bermuda. About four months.

70
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:32,670
Seems like yesterday to me.

71
00:04:33,506 --> 00:04:37,465
Maybe it was yesterday, Hildy.
Been seeing me in your dreams?

72
00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:40,770
Mama doesn't dream about you.
You wouldn't know her now.

73
00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:43,141
Yes, I would.
I'd know you anytime.

74
00:04:43,349 --> 00:04:45,442
Any place, anywhere.

75
00:04:45,652 --> 00:04:48,621
You're repeating yourself.
You said that the night you proposed.

76
00:04:48,821 --> 00:04:50,083
You still remember it.

77
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:53,157
If I didn't remember it,
I wouldn't have divorced you.

78
00:04:53,359 --> 00:04:54,724
I sort of wish you hadn't.

79
00:04:54,927 --> 00:04:56,918
- What?
- Divorced me.

80
00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:59,997
It makes a fellow lose faith
in himself. It gives him...

81
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:01,723
...a feeling he wasn't wanted.

82
00:05:01,934 --> 00:05:04,129
Junior, that's what divorces are for.

83
00:05:04,337 --> 00:05:07,602
Nonsense, you've got an old-fashioned
idea divorces last forever.

84
00:05:07,807 --> 00:05:11,265
"Till death do us part".
Divorce doesn't mean anything nowadays.

85
00:05:11,477 --> 00:05:14,037
Just a few words mumbled
over you by a judge.

86
00:05:14,247 --> 00:05:16,875
We've got something between us
nothing can change.

87
00:05:18,051 --> 00:05:20,849
- I suppose you're right in a way.
- Sure, I'm right.

88
00:05:21,054 --> 00:05:23,921
- I am fond of you, you know.
- Thattagirl!

89
00:05:24,123 --> 00:05:26,614
I often wish you weren't
such a stinker.

90
00:05:27,927 --> 00:05:30,487
You must meet my mother.
She'd like that phrase.

91
00:05:30,697 --> 00:05:35,396
Then why'd you promise not to fight
the divorce and then gum up the works?

92
00:05:35,601 --> 00:05:37,728
I meant to let you go,
but you know...

93
00:05:37,937 --> 00:05:40,167
...you never miss the water
till the well runs dry.

94
00:05:40,373 --> 00:05:43,240
A big lummox like you,
hiring an airplane to write:

95
00:05:43,443 --> 00:05:47,470
"Hildy, don't be hasty.
Remember my dimple. Walter".

96
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,171
It delayed our divorce
while the judge watched it.

97
00:05:50,383 --> 00:05:54,444
Not to brag, but I've still got
the dimple, and in the same place.

98
00:05:54,654 --> 00:05:57,817
I acted like any husband who didn't
want to see his home broken up.

99
00:05:58,024 --> 00:06:00,754
- What home?
- Remember the home I promised you?

100
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,862
Sure I do. The one we were to
have right after the honeymoon.

101
00:06:05,064 --> 00:06:06,326
That honeymoon!

102
00:06:06,532 --> 00:06:10,024
Was it my fault? Did I know that
coal mine would have a cave-in?

103
00:06:10,236 --> 00:06:13,000
I intended to be with you
on our honeymoon.

104
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:16,471
Instead of two weeks in Atlantic City
with my bridegroom...

105
00:06:16,676 --> 00:06:19,770
...I spent two weeks in a coal mine
with John Kruptzky.

106
00:06:19,979 --> 00:06:20,979
You don't deny it?

107
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,981
No. We beat the whole country
on that story!

108
00:06:24,183 --> 00:06:27,152
Suppose we did!
That isn't what I got married for!

109
00:06:27,353 --> 00:06:29,617
What is the good?
Look, Walter.

110
00:06:29,822 --> 00:06:34,054
I came to tell you to stop
phoning me a dozen times a day...

111
00:06:34,260 --> 00:06:35,260
...sending me 20 telegrams...

112
00:06:35,461 --> 00:06:37,554
I write a beautiful telegram, don't I?

113
00:06:37,764 --> 00:06:39,231
Are you going to listen?

114
00:06:39,432 --> 00:06:42,060
What's the use of fighting?
I'll tell you what you do.

115
00:06:42,268 --> 00:06:45,601
Come back to work on the paper,
and if we can't get along...

116
00:06:45,805 --> 00:06:47,602
...we'll get married again.

117
00:06:47,807 --> 00:06:50,571
- What?
- Sure, I haven't any hard feelings.

118
00:06:50,777 --> 00:06:53,974
Walter, you're wonderful
in a loathsome sort of way.

119
00:06:54,180 --> 00:06:57,445
- Be quiet so I can say what I have to.
- Tell me over lunch.

120
00:06:57,617 --> 00:06:59,141
I have a lunch date.

121
00:06:59,352 --> 00:07:00,478
- Break it.
- I can't.

122
00:07:00,686 --> 00:07:02,711
Hands off!
Are you playing osteopath?

123
00:07:02,922 --> 00:07:04,150
Temper, temper.

124
00:07:04,357 --> 00:07:08,657
You are no longer my husband
and no longer my boss.

125
00:07:08,861 --> 00:07:10,192
And you won't be my boss.

126
00:07:10,396 --> 00:07:12,796
- What does that mean?
- Just what I say.

127
00:07:12,999 --> 00:07:14,591
You're not coming back to work?

128
00:07:14,801 --> 00:07:17,269
You're right for
the first time today.

129
00:07:18,204 --> 00:07:19,967
- Got a better offer?
- You bet!

130
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:23,233
Work for somebody else!
That's the gratitude I get.

131
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:24,467
Stop hamming.

132
00:07:24,677 --> 00:07:28,773
Five years ago, you were a college girl.
I took a doll-faced hick!

133
00:07:28,981 --> 00:07:30,539
You wouldn't have
if I wasn't doll-faced.

134
00:07:30,750 --> 00:07:34,151
It was a novelty to have a face
to look at without shuddering.

135
00:07:34,353 --> 00:07:37,914
I made you a great reporter.
You won't be as good on any other paper.

136
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:40,957
We're a team.
The paper needs both of us!

137
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,627
Sold American!

138
00:07:42,829 --> 00:07:45,491
- All right, go ahead.
- Listen, Walter, please.

139
00:07:45,698 --> 00:07:49,134
The paper's going to have to get along
without me. So will you.

140
00:07:49,335 --> 00:07:50,495
It didn't work out.

141
00:07:50,703 --> 00:07:54,662
It would have worked if you'd been
satisfied as editor and reporter.

142
00:07:54,874 --> 00:07:56,933
You had to marry me
and spoil everything.

143
00:07:57,143 --> 00:08:00,306
I wasn't satisfied?
I suppose I proposed to you!

144
00:08:00,546 --> 00:08:03,276
Practically!
Making eyes at me until I broke down.

145
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:06,919
"Oh, Walter!"
I was tight when I proposed to you.

146
00:08:07,119 --> 00:08:09,883
If you'd been a gentleman,
you'd have forgotten about it.

147
00:08:10,089 --> 00:08:12,489
You used to pitch better than that.

148
00:08:12,692 --> 00:08:14,660
Hello. What?

149
00:08:14,861 --> 00:08:16,852
Sweeney? What can I do for you?

150
00:08:17,063 --> 00:08:19,827
What? Wait a minute.
I'm not Sweeney. I'm Duffy.

151
00:08:20,066 --> 00:08:23,001
Sweeney, you can't do that to me.
Not today, of all days!

152
00:08:23,369 --> 00:08:25,564
What's the matter with you?
Are you a loony?

153
00:08:26,606 --> 00:08:29,734
Now, listen, Sweeney.
This is no time...

154
00:08:31,210 --> 00:08:35,909
All right, I suppose so.
If you have to, you have to.

155
00:08:36,115 --> 00:08:38,481
- He had to.
- Everything happens to me.

156
00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:41,812
365 days in a year,
and this has to be the day.

157
00:08:42,021 --> 00:08:43,021
What's wrong?

158
00:08:43,089 --> 00:08:44,317
- Sweeney.
- Dead?

159
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:48,187
He might as well be.
He picks today to have a baby!

160
00:08:48,394 --> 00:08:49,656
Not on purpose?

161
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:53,025
He's supposed to cover the
Earl Williams case, and where is he?

162
00:08:53,232 --> 00:08:56,360
Walking up and down in a hospital.
Is there no honor?

163
00:08:56,569 --> 00:08:58,161
Haven't you got anybody else?

164
00:08:59,138 --> 00:09:01,299
Nobody else on the paper can write.

165
00:09:01,507 --> 00:09:02,667
This'll break me.

166
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:03,875
Unless...

167
00:09:04,176 --> 00:09:05,200
Hildy!

168
00:09:05,845 --> 00:09:08,370
- You've got to help me.
- Not a chance, Walter.

169
00:09:08,581 --> 00:09:10,139
Get out of here, Duffy!

170
00:09:10,349 --> 00:09:11,349
Save your breath.

171
00:09:11,384 --> 00:09:13,181
This'll bring us back together again.

172
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:15,183
That's what I'm afraid of.

173
00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:17,515
This is bigger than anything else.

174
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:18,723
Do it for the paper.

175
00:09:18,925 --> 00:09:20,017
Scram, Svengali.

176
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:22,387
If you won't do it for love,
how about money?

177
00:09:22,595 --> 00:09:24,062
I'll raise you $25 a week.

178
00:09:24,263 --> 00:09:25,628
Listen to me, you baboon...

179
00:09:25,831 --> 00:09:27,594
I'll make it $35
and not a cent more.

180
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:28,960
Listen!

181
00:09:29,168 --> 00:09:30,658
How much will the other paper pay?

182
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:31,928
There's no other paper.

183
00:09:32,138 --> 00:09:35,164
Then the raise is off.
You go back to your old salary.

184
00:09:35,374 --> 00:09:37,103
Trying to blackjack me.

185
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:38,902
- I'm busy.
- Take a good look at it.

186
00:09:39,111 --> 00:09:41,875
Do you know what it is?
It's an engagement ring.

187
00:09:44,817 --> 00:09:46,444
Engagement ring?

188
00:09:49,455 --> 00:09:51,446
I tried to tell you right away...

189
00:09:51,657 --> 00:09:53,750
...but you would start reminiscing.

190
00:09:54,226 --> 00:09:56,854
I'm getting married,
and I'm getting as far away...

191
00:09:57,063 --> 00:09:59,691
...from the newspaper business
as I can get.

192
00:10:01,233 --> 00:10:02,427
I'm through.

193
00:10:02,635 --> 00:10:05,934
- You can get married, but not quit.
- No? Why not?

194
00:10:06,138 --> 00:10:07,765
I know what quitting would mean.

195
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:09,874
- What?
- It would kill you.

196
00:10:10,076 --> 00:10:13,375
- You can't sell me that.
- You're a newspaperman.

197
00:10:13,579 --> 00:10:16,275
I want to go someplace
where I can be a woman.

198
00:10:16,482 --> 00:10:18,712
- You mean, be a traitor.
- A traitor to what?

199
00:10:18,918 --> 00:10:20,783
To journalism.
You're a journalist!

200
00:10:20,987 --> 00:10:23,353
A journalist?
What does that mean?

201
00:10:23,556 --> 00:10:26,320
Peeking through keyholes,
chasing fire engines...

202
00:10:26,525 --> 00:10:29,119
...waking people up
in the night to ask questions...

203
00:10:29,328 --> 00:10:32,820
...stealing pictures off old ladies?
I know all about reporters.

204
00:10:33,032 --> 00:10:35,694
Buttinskies running around
with no money, and for what?

205
00:10:35,901 --> 00:10:40,497
So a million people will know
what's going on. Why, I...

206
00:10:40,706 --> 00:10:42,571
What's the use?

207
00:10:42,775 --> 00:10:45,039
Walter, you wouldn't know
what it means...

208
00:10:45,244 --> 00:10:49,180
...to want to be respectable and
live a halfway normal life.

209
00:10:50,116 --> 00:10:53,085
The point is, I'm through.

210
00:10:54,687 --> 00:10:56,552
Where did you meet this man?

211
00:10:56,756 --> 00:10:57,756
Bermuda.

212
00:10:57,857 --> 00:10:58,949
Rich?

213
00:10:59,158 --> 00:11:02,616
He's not what you'd call rich.
He makes about $5000 a year.

214
00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:05,490
- What's his line?
- He's in the insurance business.

215
00:11:05,698 --> 00:11:07,290
Insurance business?

216
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:08,899
That's a good honest business.

217
00:11:09,101 --> 00:11:12,036
Sure, it's honest.
It's also adventurous, romantic.

218
00:11:12,238 --> 00:11:15,730
I can't picture you
being surrounded by policies...

219
00:11:15,941 --> 00:11:18,739
I can, and I like it, what's more.

220
00:11:18,944 --> 00:11:21,378
Besides, he forgets the office
when he's with me.

221
00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:23,548
He doesn't treat me
like an errand boy.

222
00:11:23,749 --> 00:11:24,909
He treats me like a woman.

223
00:11:25,117 --> 00:11:28,052
He does? How did I treat you?
Like a water buffalo?

224
00:11:28,254 --> 00:11:31,121
I don't know from buffaloes,
but I do know about him.

225
00:11:31,323 --> 00:11:33,553
He's kind, he's sweet,
and he's considerate.

226
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:35,784
He wants a home and children.

227
00:11:35,995 --> 00:11:38,691
Sounds like a guy I ought to marry.
What's his name?

228
00:11:39,532 --> 00:11:40,897
Baldwin. Bruce Baldwin.

229
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:43,159
I knew a Baldwin once,
a horse thief.

230
00:11:43,369 --> 00:11:45,269
Couldn't be the same fellow,
could it?

231
00:11:45,471 --> 00:11:48,929
You are not talking about the man
I'm marrying tomorrow.

232
00:11:50,076 --> 00:11:52,408
Tomorrow? As soon as that?

233
00:11:57,216 --> 00:12:00,879
At last, I got out what
I came up here to tell you.

234
00:12:02,221 --> 00:12:04,689
Guess there isn't any more
to the story.

235
00:12:05,624 --> 00:12:06,886
So long, Walter.

236
00:12:07,093 --> 00:12:08,390
So long, Hildy.

237
00:12:08,594 --> 00:12:10,221
Better luck to you next time.

238
00:12:10,429 --> 00:12:12,021
Thanks.

239
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:20,103
Well, you kind of took
the wind out of my sail.

240
00:12:20,306 --> 00:12:23,969
I just want to wish you
everything I couldn't give you.

241
00:12:26,512 --> 00:12:30,608
This other fellow. I'm sorry
I didn't get a chance to see him.

242
00:12:30,816 --> 00:12:34,013
I'm particular about
whom my wife marries.

243
00:12:34,286 --> 00:12:35,514
Where is he?

244
00:12:35,721 --> 00:12:38,884
He's right on the job,
waiting for me out there.

245
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:40,956
Do you mind if I meet him?

246
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,220
- It wouldn't do any good.
- You're not afraid, are you?

247
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:45,430
Of course not.

248
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:49,295
Let's see this paragon.
Is he as good as you say?

249
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:50,502
He's better.

250
00:12:50,636 --> 00:12:52,797
- Then what does he want with you?
- You got me.

251
00:12:53,405 --> 00:12:54,997
Back in an hour, Mildred.

252
00:12:55,207 --> 00:12:58,438
I am sorry, Hildy.
I suppose Bruce... What's his name?

253
00:12:58,644 --> 00:13:00,111
I suppose he opens doors for you?

254
00:13:00,312 --> 00:13:02,576
And with a lady,
he takes his hat off.

255
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:04,147
I am sorry.

256
00:13:04,416 --> 00:13:06,475
When he walks with a lady,
he waits for her.

257
00:13:06,685 --> 00:13:08,880
In that case...

258
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:11,954
Allow me.

259
00:13:14,827 --> 00:13:18,194
I can see my wife picked out
the right husband for herself.

260
00:13:19,231 --> 00:13:21,927
There must be some mistake.
I'm already married.

261
00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:23,692
Already married?

262
00:13:25,371 --> 00:13:26,565
You should have told me.

263
00:13:26,772 --> 00:13:28,637
Congratulations again, Mr. Baldwin.

264
00:13:28,841 --> 00:13:29,967
- No, my name...
- Mr. Burns.

265
00:13:30,176 --> 00:13:33,077
I'm terribly busy.
What did you say, Mr. Baldwin?

266
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:35,042
- Mr. Burns.
- My name is...

267
00:13:35,247 --> 00:13:38,410
I'm busy with Mr. Baldwin.
I didn't hear what you said, sir.

268
00:13:38,617 --> 00:13:40,278
- My name is...
- Mr. Burns...

269
00:13:40,486 --> 00:13:42,477
- What is it with you?
- I'm Bruce Baldwin.

270
00:13:42,688 --> 00:13:44,986
Can't you see that I'm...
You're Bruce Baldwin!

271
00:13:45,191 --> 00:13:46,624
Well, who is he?
Who are you?

272
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:48,453
My name's Pete Davis.

273
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:51,095
Mr. Davis, is this
any concern of yours?

274
00:13:51,297 --> 00:13:53,788
From now on, keep your nose
out of my affairs.

275
00:13:53,999 --> 00:13:55,762
Don't let it happen again.

276
00:13:55,968 --> 00:14:00,098
I'm terribly sorry about this mistake.
This is indeed a pleasure.

277
00:14:00,306 --> 00:14:04,436
That's wrong, isn't it? Bruce...
do you mind if I call you Bruce?

278
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:07,373
- We're almost related.
- No, not at all.

279
00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:10,048
You see, my wife...
That is, your wife.

280
00:14:10,249 --> 00:14:13,582
Hildy, you led me to expect you
were marrying a much older man.

281
00:14:13,786 --> 00:14:15,651
What did I say?

282
00:14:15,855 --> 00:14:19,848
Don't worry about it. I realize
you didn't mean old in years.

283
00:14:20,826 --> 00:14:24,193
- Do you always carry an umbrella?
- It looked cloudy this morning.

284
00:14:24,396 --> 00:14:26,227
That's right.
Rubbers too, I hope.

285
00:14:27,132 --> 00:14:29,623
Thattaboy!
A man ought to be prepared.

286
00:14:29,835 --> 00:14:31,302
We'd better run along.

287
00:14:31,503 --> 00:14:33,266
- We'd better go.
- Where are we going?

288
00:14:33,472 --> 00:14:35,463
I'm taking you two to lunch.
Didn't you tell him?

289
00:14:35,674 --> 00:14:36,936
No, she didn't.

290
00:14:37,142 --> 00:14:40,509
I guess she just wanted
to surprise you, Bruce.

291
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:41,713
After you, Hildy.

292
00:14:41,847 --> 00:14:43,678
You're wasting your time.

293
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:46,443
No, I'm glad to do it.

294
00:14:50,356 --> 00:14:51,846
Hello, Gus.

295
00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:53,217
It's Hildy!

296
00:14:53,425 --> 00:14:55,120
It's none other.
How are things?

297
00:14:55,327 --> 00:14:56,351
I can't complain.

298
00:14:56,562 --> 00:14:58,587
I can. I'm hungry.
A roast beef sandwich...

299
00:14:58,797 --> 00:15:00,321
- Sorry.
- ...on white bread.

300
00:15:00,532 --> 00:15:01,863
Over there, Bruce.

301
00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:04,297
- And you, Hildy?
- I'll have the same.

302
00:15:04,503 --> 00:15:07,063
- And you, sir?
- Yes, that's all right for me.

303
00:15:07,273 --> 00:15:09,798
Bring some mustard too, Gus.

304
00:15:12,344 --> 00:15:14,710
So you two are going to get married?

305
00:15:14,914 --> 00:15:17,712
- How does it feel, Bruce?
- It feels awful good.

306
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:19,441
You're getting a great girl.

307
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:21,085
I realize that.

308
00:15:21,287 --> 00:15:23,482
Things have been different
since I met Hildy.

309
00:15:23,689 --> 00:15:25,919
I've never met anyone quite like her.

310
00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:27,922
Everybody else I've ever known...

311
00:15:28,127 --> 00:15:31,995
...you could always tell ahead of time
what they would say or do.

312
00:15:32,197 --> 00:15:35,928
But Hildy's not like that.
You can't tell that about her.

313
00:15:36,135 --> 00:15:37,261
That's nice.

314
00:15:37,469 --> 00:15:40,131
You're getting something else too:
A great newspaperman.

315
00:15:40,339 --> 00:15:41,636
No orchids, Walter.

316
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,571
One of the best I ever knew.
Sorry to see her go. Darn sorry.

317
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:47,370
I'd like to believe you.

318
00:15:47,579 --> 00:15:50,047
I mean it.
If you ever want to come back...

319
00:15:50,249 --> 00:15:51,876
Which I won't.

320
00:15:52,084 --> 00:15:55,451
In spite of everything,
there's only one man I'd work for.

321
00:15:55,654 --> 00:15:57,815
I'd kill you if you
worked for anybody else.

322
00:15:58,023 --> 00:15:59,684
Hear that? That's my diploma.

323
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:02,520
It must be quite a business if it's...

324
00:16:02,728 --> 00:16:04,525
Are you sure you want to quit?

325
00:16:04,763 --> 00:16:06,025
What do you mean?

326
00:16:06,231 --> 00:16:07,892
If there is any doubt about it...

327
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:09,499
...or if there's anything...

328
00:16:09,702 --> 00:16:11,897
No, this is your chance
to have a home...

329
00:16:12,104 --> 00:16:14,436
...and to be, like you said,
a human being.

330
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,073
I'll make you take that chance.

331
00:16:16,275 --> 00:16:18,869
Certainly.
Why, I wouldn't let her stay.

332
00:16:19,078 --> 00:16:23,412
She deserves all this happiness.
All the things I couldn't give her.

333
00:16:23,615 --> 00:16:25,276
All she ever wanted was a home.

334
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:27,281
I'll certainly try.

335
00:16:27,486 --> 00:16:28,680
I know you will, Bruce.

336
00:16:28,887 --> 00:16:30,149
- Where will you live?
- Albany.

337
00:16:30,356 --> 00:16:33,325
- Got a family up there?
- Just my mother.

338
00:16:33,525 --> 00:16:36,050
Just your mother.
You're going to live with her?

339
00:16:36,261 --> 00:16:38,354
Just for the first year.

340
00:16:38,564 --> 00:16:39,792
That will be nice.

341
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:43,765
Yes, a home with mother,
in Albany too.

342
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:47,598
Mighty nice little town.
It's the state capital.

343
00:16:47,806 --> 00:16:50,639
I know. We were there once.

344
00:16:54,413 --> 00:16:57,712
Will you ever forget the night
you brought the governor to the hotel?

345
00:16:57,916 --> 00:17:00,111
You see, I was in taking a bath.

346
00:17:00,319 --> 00:17:02,844
Well, I came walking out without...

347
00:17:04,723 --> 00:17:06,623
She didn't know I was in town.

348
00:17:06,825 --> 00:17:09,851
Bruce, how is business up there?
Any better?

349
00:17:10,062 --> 00:17:12,155
Albany's a mighty
good insurance town.

350
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:14,730
Most people take it out
pretty early in life.

351
00:17:14,933 --> 00:17:16,798
I can see why they would.

352
00:17:17,002 --> 00:17:18,560
Statistics show that most of...

353
00:17:18,771 --> 00:17:22,207
I've got a feeling I ought to
have taken out a little insurance.

354
00:17:22,408 --> 00:17:25,434
That really doesn't matter
now that Hildy and I have...

355
00:17:25,677 --> 00:17:28,145
...well, you know, we've...
Does it?

356
00:17:28,347 --> 00:17:29,712
What do you think?

357
00:17:29,915 --> 00:17:33,043
It might have been a good idea
if I had taken out insurance.

358
00:17:33,252 --> 00:17:34,879
I honestly feel that way.

359
00:17:35,087 --> 00:17:37,749
I'm in one business
that really helps people.

360
00:17:37,956 --> 00:17:41,221
Of course, we don't help you much
while you're alive, but afterward.

361
00:17:41,427 --> 00:17:43,987
- That's what counts.
- Sure.

362
00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:46,161
I don't get it.

363
00:17:47,366 --> 00:17:48,366
Nice going.

364
00:17:48,467 --> 00:17:50,731
So sorry, Gus.
My foot must have slipped.

365
00:17:50,936 --> 00:17:53,234
That's all right.
What would you like to drink?

366
00:17:53,439 --> 00:17:54,439
Coffee.

367
00:17:54,473 --> 00:17:56,703
- Shall I put some rum in the coffee?
- Sure.

368
00:17:56,909 --> 00:17:58,342
Me too, Gus, please.

369
00:17:58,677 --> 00:18:00,269
- Not for me.
- Go on, Bruce.

370
00:18:00,479 --> 00:18:04,074
I have a lot to do. I have to
buy the tickets, check the baggage...

371
00:18:04,283 --> 00:18:05,443
Do it tomorrow.

372
00:18:05,651 --> 00:18:09,678
We're leaving today at four o'clock,
taking the sleeper for Albany.

373
00:18:12,157 --> 00:18:14,523
You're leaving today
at four o'clock?

374
00:18:14,726 --> 00:18:17,126
- That's only two hours.
- That's not much time.

375
00:18:17,329 --> 00:18:19,024
I've got a lot to do.
I want to...

376
00:18:19,231 --> 00:18:22,064
Isn't that silly?
All down over my front.

377
00:18:22,267 --> 00:18:25,327
- That's nothing new. Here.
- Never mind, I'll get Gus.

378
00:18:25,537 --> 00:18:27,801
Gus, do something
about this, will you?

379
00:18:28,006 --> 00:18:30,804
Call me to the telephone when
I get back to the table.

380
00:18:31,009 --> 00:18:33,603
Thanks, Gus, that's fine.

381
00:18:33,812 --> 00:18:36,747
I'm terribly sorry about that.
That was silly, wasn't it?

382
00:18:36,949 --> 00:18:40,146
Let me get that straight.
I must have misunderstood you.

383
00:18:40,352 --> 00:18:43,651
You're taking the sleeper today,
then getting married tomorrow?

384
00:18:43,856 --> 00:18:45,949
Well, it's not like that.

385
00:18:46,158 --> 00:18:47,158
What is it like?

386
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,350
Poor Walter.
He'll toss and turn all night.

387
00:18:49,561 --> 00:18:52,052
Perhaps we'd better tell him.
Mother's coming too.

388
00:18:52,264 --> 00:18:54,095
Your mother kicked the bucket...

389
00:18:54,299 --> 00:18:55,459
No, my mother.

390
00:18:55,667 --> 00:18:58,261
Your mother?
Well, that relieves my mind.

391
00:18:58,470 --> 00:19:00,335
It was cruel to let you suffer so.

392
00:19:00,539 --> 00:19:02,973
Isn't Walter sweet?
Always wanting to protect me.

393
00:19:03,175 --> 00:19:06,633
I admit I wasn't much of a husband,
but you can always count on me.

394
00:19:06,845 --> 00:19:10,713
I don't think she'll need you much.
I aim to do the protecting myself.

395
00:19:10,916 --> 00:19:12,713
Mr. Burns, telephone.

396
00:19:12,918 --> 00:19:14,146
For me?

397
00:19:14,353 --> 00:19:15,650
That's strange.

398
00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:17,417
Pardon me.

399
00:19:19,925 --> 00:19:21,654
He's not such a bad fellow.

400
00:19:21,927 --> 00:19:24,828
No, he should make
some girl real happy.

401
00:19:25,030 --> 00:19:26,088
Slaphappy.

402
00:19:27,032 --> 00:19:29,227
He's not the man for you.
I can see that.

403
00:19:29,434 --> 00:19:31,595
But I sort of like him.
He's got charm.

404
00:19:31,803 --> 00:19:34,738
He comes by it naturally.
His grandfather was a snake.

405
00:19:36,842 --> 00:19:39,402
Hello? Duffy, listen.

406
00:19:39,611 --> 00:19:42,546
Any way we can stop the 4:00 train
to Albany from leaving?

407
00:19:42,748 --> 00:19:45,273
<i>- We might dynamite it.
- Could we?</i>

408
00:19:45,484 --> 00:19:47,349
Maybe we couldn't.

409
00:19:47,553 --> 00:19:48,611
All right, get this.

410
00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:52,483
Send Sweeney out of town on
two weeks' vacation right away.

411
00:19:52,691 --> 00:19:55,626
Keep your shirt on.
Hildy's coming back.

412
00:19:55,827 --> 00:19:58,159
She doesn't know it yet,
but she's staying.

413
00:19:58,363 --> 00:20:02,129
Tell Louie to stick around the office.
I may need him. Goodbye.

414
00:20:03,902 --> 00:20:05,130
Thanks, Gus.

415
00:20:05,337 --> 00:20:07,237
- This is bad business.
- What's the matter?

416
00:20:07,439 --> 00:20:08,770
The Earl Williams case.

417
00:20:08,974 --> 00:20:10,407
I've been reading about that.

418
00:20:10,609 --> 00:20:11,609
It's pretty bad.

419
00:20:11,643 --> 00:20:13,770
- What is the lowdown on it?
- Simple, honey.

420
00:20:13,979 --> 00:20:16,777
Poor little dope lost his job,
went berserk and shot a cop...

421
00:20:16,982 --> 00:20:19,542
...who was coming to quiet him down.
They'll hang him tomorrow.

422
00:20:19,751 --> 00:20:20,775
What a shame.

423
00:20:20,986 --> 00:20:23,216
Your paper has been taking his side.

424
00:20:23,422 --> 00:20:26,823
If he was out of his mind, why doesn't
the state just put him away?

425
00:20:27,025 --> 00:20:30,188
Because it was a colored policeman.
You know what that means.

426
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:31,987
The colored vote's important.

427
00:20:32,197 --> 00:20:34,256
Especially with an election
in three or four days.

428
00:20:34,466 --> 00:20:37,128
That mayor would hang his
grandmother to be reelected.

429
00:20:37,336 --> 00:20:39,531
You could show the man
wasn't responsible.

430
00:20:39,738 --> 00:20:41,137
That's not so easy.

431
00:20:41,607 --> 00:20:43,700
Maybe it isn't so hard either.

432
00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:45,376
What do you mean, Hildy?

433
00:20:45,577 --> 00:20:48,239
Doesn't an expert have to
examine him before they hang him?

434
00:20:48,447 --> 00:20:51,507
A bird named Egelhoffer is doing it.
He'll say the same as the rest.

435
00:20:51,717 --> 00:20:52,877
Suppose he does.

436
00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:54,109
What's your scheme?

437
00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:56,913
Walter, you get the interview
with Earl Williams.

438
00:20:57,122 --> 00:20:58,555
Print Egelhoffer's statement.

439
00:20:58,757 --> 00:21:02,318
And right alongside it, double column,
run your interview.

440
00:21:02,527 --> 00:21:04,961
Alienist says he's sane.
Interview shows he's goofy.

441
00:21:05,163 --> 00:21:07,631
You could save that poor devil's life.

442
00:21:07,833 --> 00:21:08,993
You could...

443
00:21:10,102 --> 00:21:13,162
- You're going away. I forgot.
- How long would the interview take?

444
00:21:13,372 --> 00:21:15,772
An hour for the interview.
An hour to write it.

445
00:21:15,974 --> 00:21:19,307
We could take the 6 o'clock train
if it'd save a man's life.

446
00:21:19,511 --> 00:21:22,537
No, Bruce. If you want to save
Earl Williams' life...

447
00:21:22,748 --> 00:21:25,012
...write it yourself.
You're a good reporter.

448
00:21:25,217 --> 00:21:28,482
I can't write that kind of thing.
It takes a woman's touch.

449
00:21:28,687 --> 00:21:30,587
Don't get poetic.
Get Sweeney.

450
00:21:30,789 --> 00:21:33,280
He's the best man for that
sob-sister stuff.

451
00:21:33,492 --> 00:21:37,087
Poor Sweeney. Duffy just told me
his wife finally had twins.

452
00:21:37,296 --> 00:21:38,296
Isn't that terrible?

453
00:21:38,497 --> 00:21:40,863
Sweeney went out to celebrate
and now we can't find him.

454
00:21:41,066 --> 00:21:43,591
So Sweeney has twins
and Williams gets hanged.

455
00:21:43,802 --> 00:21:44,962
Now, Walter, look.

456
00:21:45,170 --> 00:21:48,901
Argue with her, or you'll be on
a honeymoon with blood on your hands.

457
00:21:49,107 --> 00:21:50,870
How can you be happy after that?

458
00:21:51,076 --> 00:21:53,806
You'll remember that
a man went to the gallows...

459
00:21:54,012 --> 00:21:56,207
...because she was too selfish
to wait two hours.

460
00:21:56,415 --> 00:21:59,213
Earl Williams' face will come
between you tonight...

461
00:21:59,418 --> 00:22:01,147
...and the rest of your life.

462
00:22:01,353 --> 00:22:03,787
Stop it, Walter.
The whole place will hear you.

463
00:22:03,989 --> 00:22:05,581
What an act.

464
00:22:05,791 --> 00:22:09,591
I just remembered Sweeney was only
married four months ago.

465
00:22:13,765 --> 00:22:15,562
Hildy, you win. I'm licked.

466
00:22:15,801 --> 00:22:18,634
Then Mrs. Sweeney didn't have twins?

467
00:22:18,837 --> 00:22:21,601
No, indeed. The twins were
Walter's, all his.

468
00:22:21,807 --> 00:22:23,468
It was nothing.

469
00:22:23,675 --> 00:22:25,199
Well, come on, let's forget it.

470
00:22:25,410 --> 00:22:26,672
We'll start over again.

471
00:22:26,878 --> 00:22:28,812
- I'll offer a business proposition.
- Not interested.

472
00:22:29,014 --> 00:22:30,345
You'll be interested.

473
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:32,540
Don't listen to him.
I know him from way back.

474
00:22:32,751 --> 00:22:36,653
Excuse me, will you? I'm talking
to him. Now, look, Bruce...

475
00:22:36,855 --> 00:22:40,347
...persuade her and you can
write an insurance policy for me.

476
00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:43,756
No, Mr. Burns. I wouldn't use
my wife for business purposes.

477
00:22:43,962 --> 00:22:45,190
Wait a minute, Bruce.

478
00:22:45,931 --> 00:22:47,489
- How big a policy?
- 25,000.

479
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:48,699
Fifty thousand.

480
00:22:48,867 --> 00:22:50,494
What's the commission on
a $100,000 policy?

481
00:22:50,702 --> 00:22:53,296
- Around $1000, but Hildy...
- And what's wrong with $1000?

482
00:22:53,505 --> 00:22:55,132
- I couldn't...
- We could use that money.

483
00:22:55,340 --> 00:22:56,898
How long would it take
to get him examined?

484
00:22:57,109 --> 00:22:59,077
I could get a company doctor
here in 20 minutes.

485
00:22:59,277 --> 00:23:01,404
- Get him. Get him.
- You keep out of this.

486
00:23:01,613 --> 00:23:04,741
Suppose you have Mr. Burns examined
over in his office...

487
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:07,680
...and see what they'll allow
on that old carcass of his.

488
00:23:07,886 --> 00:23:11,344
- I'm better than I ever was.
- That's nothing to brag about.

489
00:23:11,556 --> 00:23:15,458
I'll go back and change and after
you get the check, phone me.

490
00:23:15,660 --> 00:23:18,094
I'll be in the press room
at the criminal courts building.

491
00:23:18,296 --> 00:23:21,857
Oh, Walter? I think you better
make that a certified check.

492
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:23,159
Think I'm a crook?

493
00:23:23,368 --> 00:23:25,598
Yes. No certified check,
no story. Get me?

494
00:23:25,804 --> 00:23:27,203
It'll be certified.
Want my fingerprints?

495
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:28,964
No, thanks. I've still got those.

496
00:23:29,174 --> 00:23:31,108
Gus, how much do I owe you?

497
00:23:32,177 --> 00:23:33,610
Thank you, dear.

498
00:23:34,780 --> 00:23:37,112
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- How much money have you got?

499
00:23:37,315 --> 00:23:39,146
You know, everything we have, $500.

500
00:23:39,351 --> 00:23:41,182
- Give me it.
- I have to buy the tickets.

501
00:23:41,386 --> 00:23:44,822
I'll buy the tickets. Believe me,
he'll get you in a crap game.

502
00:23:45,023 --> 00:23:46,251
Hildy, I don't gamble.

503
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:50,053
I know people that never did anything
till they met Walter Burns.

504
00:23:50,262 --> 00:23:52,787
But remember, it's everything we have.

505
00:23:52,998 --> 00:23:53,998
I know.

506
00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:57,534
- You got change of ten?
- See what I mean, don't you, Bruce?

507
00:23:57,736 --> 00:24:00,261
I just gave everything to Hildy.
All I've got left...

508
00:24:00,472 --> 00:24:02,303
- Come on, Hildy.
- Not me. Sign it.

509
00:24:02,507 --> 00:24:04,099
All right.

510
00:24:05,944 --> 00:24:07,468
For the waiter.

511
00:24:08,046 --> 00:24:10,037
Come on, Bruce. Really.

512
00:24:13,585 --> 00:24:14,609
I'll open for a dime.

513
00:24:14,820 --> 00:24:15,820
I'm in.

514
00:24:15,987 --> 00:24:17,147
I'll stay.

515
00:24:17,355 --> 00:24:18,845
Wilcox 3400.

516
00:24:19,057 --> 00:24:20,490
- How many?
- Two.

517
00:24:20,892 --> 00:24:23,952
Take that, one of you birds.
You ain't doing anything, Ernie.

518
00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:28,126
What's the matter with you guys?
Crippled or something?

519
00:24:28,333 --> 00:24:29,698
I'll just bet 20 cents.

520
00:24:29,901 --> 00:24:31,960
Press room. Wait a minute.

521
00:24:32,170 --> 00:24:35,298
Hello, Sarge, McCue talking.
Hold the line, will you? What?

522
00:24:35,507 --> 00:24:38,635
I told you this is the press room
of the criminal courts building.

523
00:24:38,844 --> 00:24:40,368
Jake, new lead on the hanging.

524
00:24:40,579 --> 00:24:44,015
This alienist from New York,
Dr. Max J. Egelhoffer.

525
00:24:44,216 --> 00:24:47,947
He's interviewing Williams in about
half an hour in the sheriff's office.

526
00:24:48,153 --> 00:24:50,451
Must be the tenth alienist
they've put on Williams.

527
00:24:50,655 --> 00:24:52,520
If he wasn't crazy,
he would be by the time...

528
00:24:52,724 --> 00:24:55,557
...ten of those babies got through
psychoanalyzing him.

529
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,293
- Is this guy Egelhoffer any good?
- You figure it out.

530
00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:01,830
He's the guy they sent to Washington
to interview the Brain Trust.

531
00:25:02,033 --> 00:25:03,500
He said they were sane.

532
00:25:03,702 --> 00:25:05,363
Here's the situation
on the eve of the hanging.

533
00:25:05,570 --> 00:25:09,638
I'll pick up a little fudge. This is Murphy.
More slop on the hanging.

534
00:25:09,841 --> 00:25:12,571
A double guard has been thrown around
the jail, municipal buildings...

535
00:25:12,777 --> 00:25:14,369
...railroad terminals,
and elevated stations...

536
00:25:14,579 --> 00:25:16,672
...to prepare for the expected
general uprising...

537
00:25:16,882 --> 00:25:18,679
...of radicals at the hour of execution.

538
00:25:18,884 --> 00:25:21,478
The sheriff has put 200 more
relatives on the payroll...

539
00:25:21,686 --> 00:25:23,517
...to protect the city
from the Red Army...

540
00:25:23,722 --> 00:25:25,986
...which is leaving Moscow
in a couple of minutes.

541
00:25:26,191 --> 00:25:28,091
Trouble is, when the real Red Menace
shows up...

542
00:25:28,293 --> 00:25:31,057
...the sheriff will still be
crying wolf. What do you got?

543
00:25:31,263 --> 00:25:33,356
- Is that good?
- Sure looks good from here.

544
00:25:33,565 --> 00:25:35,760
Hildy, when did you get back?

545
00:25:35,967 --> 00:25:37,332
- How are you, Eddie?
- Glad to see you.

546
00:25:37,536 --> 00:25:39,299
- Glad to see you.
- Where'd you get the hat?

547
00:25:39,504 --> 00:25:42,064
- I paid 12 bucks for that hat.
- Coming back to work?

548
00:25:42,274 --> 00:25:45,004
It's a farewell appearance.
I'm going into business for myself.

549
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:48,111
- What doing?
- I'm getting married tomorrow.

550
00:25:48,313 --> 00:25:50,941
Again? Are we invited to the wedding?

551
00:25:51,149 --> 00:25:53,879
I might use you for a bridesmaid, Roy.

552
00:25:54,085 --> 00:25:56,883
- How are you, Murphy?
- What are you getting married for?

553
00:25:57,088 --> 00:25:59,181
- None of your business.
- Ain't fooling us, are you?

554
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:01,723
Fooling? Look what I've got in here.

555
00:26:01,927 --> 00:26:04,361
Three tickets to Albany
on the 6:00 train tonight.

556
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:05,563
Three?

557
00:26:05,764 --> 00:26:09,666
For me and my beau and,
hats off boys, his sweet darling ma.

558
00:26:09,868 --> 00:26:11,768
- That's nice.
- What kind of marriage is that?

559
00:26:11,970 --> 00:26:15,167
I'm settling down.
I'm through with the newspaper business.

560
00:26:15,373 --> 00:26:18,900
Can you picture Hildy singing
lullabies and hanging out didies?

561
00:26:19,110 --> 00:26:21,237
- Swapping lies over the back fence?
- Sour grapes.

562
00:26:21,446 --> 00:26:23,107
She'll get tired beating rugs.

563
00:26:23,315 --> 00:26:25,374
I'm not going to beat any rugs.

564
00:26:26,217 --> 00:26:28,913
That's 3rd and Jefferson.
Where the Central School is.

565
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:31,020
- No school this time of day.
- What do you care for? You quit.

566
00:26:31,222 --> 00:26:32,519
You said you were through.

567
00:26:32,724 --> 00:26:36,057
I just thought it might be
a good fire, that's all.

568
00:26:36,261 --> 00:26:39,424
- What's that?
- Practicing for the Williams party.

569
00:26:39,631 --> 00:26:41,758
- You'll miss a nice hanging.
- Not interested.

570
00:26:41,967 --> 00:26:43,958
Tell them to pipe down.

571
00:26:48,773 --> 00:26:52,834
Keep quiet down there! How do you
expect us to get any work done?

572
00:26:53,044 --> 00:26:55,035
Shut up!

573
00:26:55,647 --> 00:26:57,911
Very little respect
for the press around here.

574
00:26:58,817 --> 00:27:00,148
Say, did anybody phone me?

575
00:27:00,352 --> 00:27:01,376
Not that I know of.

576
00:27:01,586 --> 00:27:04,020
Say, Hildy, does Walter know
you're getting married?

577
00:27:04,222 --> 00:27:06,156
- Just had lunch with him.
- Does he know you're quitting?

578
00:27:06,358 --> 00:27:09,225
- I told him. Any more questions?
- Shall I deal you in?

579
00:27:09,427 --> 00:27:12,225
I haven't got time.
I have to do a yarn on Williams.

580
00:27:12,430 --> 00:27:14,398
Did he know what he was doing
when he fired that gun?

581
00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:18,126
If you ask us, no. If you ask the
state alienist, the answer is yes.

582
00:27:18,336 --> 00:27:20,099
- Who is he? What's he do?
- He was a bookkeeper.

583
00:27:20,305 --> 00:27:22,296
He starts at $20 a week.
After 14 years...

584
00:27:22,507 --> 00:27:25,032
...he works himself up to $17.50.
- Got more gum?

585
00:27:25,243 --> 00:27:28,474
McClosky Company goes out of business.
Williams loses his job.

586
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:29,840
Can't get another.

587
00:27:30,682 --> 00:27:31,682
I'm in.

588
00:27:32,083 --> 00:27:35,712
So he hangs around the park listening
to soapbox spellbinders...

589
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,820
...making speeches,
and begins believing them.

590
00:27:38,023 --> 00:27:39,183
And makes some of his own.

591
00:27:39,391 --> 00:27:41,052
- Up a dime.
- I'm in.

592
00:27:43,161 --> 00:27:45,857
- Anything else, Doc?
- No, that'll be all, Mr. Burns.

593
00:27:46,064 --> 00:27:47,258
Everything okay?

594
00:27:47,465 --> 00:27:48,955
Nothing to worry about.

595
00:27:49,167 --> 00:27:50,395
Good, good.

596
00:27:50,602 --> 00:27:51,660
How are you doing, Bruce?

597
00:27:51,870 --> 00:27:53,337
Just one more thing.

598
00:27:53,538 --> 00:27:56,939
- Good day, Mr. Burns. Mr. Baldwin.
- Goodbye, Doc. Thanks very much.

599
00:27:57,142 --> 00:27:59,235
Who's the beneficiary?

600
00:27:59,444 --> 00:28:02,436
- Excuse me?
- That is, in case of your death.

601
00:28:02,647 --> 00:28:05,639
- Who do we pay the money to?
- Why, Hildy, of course.

602
00:28:05,850 --> 00:28:08,876
I don't know. That would make me
feel pretty funny.

603
00:28:09,087 --> 00:28:12,352
Now, why shouldn't I make
Hildy my whatever-it-was?

604
00:28:12,557 --> 00:28:14,286
I feel I should take care of her.

605
00:28:14,492 --> 00:28:16,983
But you will take care of her, Bruce.

606
00:28:17,195 --> 00:28:20,028
Say, if that doctor is right,
I'm good for a long time yet.

607
00:28:20,231 --> 00:28:23,428
Look, Bruce, this is
a debt of honor with me.

608
00:28:23,635 --> 00:28:26,195
I was a bad husband to Hildy.

609
00:28:26,404 --> 00:28:28,304
She could have claimed
a lot of alimony.

610
00:28:28,506 --> 00:28:29,803
But she wouldn't take any.

611
00:28:30,008 --> 00:28:32,067
She had it coming to her,
but she was too independent.

612
00:28:32,277 --> 00:28:35,303
- I'm independent too, you know.
- I know you are.

613
00:28:35,513 --> 00:28:37,743
But look, you just figure it this way.

614
00:28:37,949 --> 00:28:41,646
I'm good for, we'll say
at least 25 years yet.

615
00:28:41,853 --> 00:28:45,789
By then, you'll have made enough so
that money won't mean anything to you.

616
00:28:45,990 --> 00:28:47,855
But suppose you haven't made good.

617
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:50,857
What about Hildy's old age?
Think of Hildy.

618
00:28:51,596 --> 00:28:53,063
I can see her now.

619
00:28:53,264 --> 00:28:56,529
White-haired, lavender and old lace.

620
00:28:56,735 --> 00:28:59,260
- Can't you see her, Bruce?
- Yes, yes, I can.

621
00:28:59,471 --> 00:29:01,632
She's old, isn't she?

622
00:29:02,474 --> 00:29:06,535
Don't you think that Hildy's entitled
to spend her remaining years...

623
00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:09,942
...without worries of money?
Of course you do, Bruce.

624
00:29:10,148 --> 00:29:11,911
Of course, if you put it that way.

625
00:29:12,684 --> 00:29:15,676
And remember, I love her too.

626
00:29:16,454 --> 00:29:18,945
Yes, I'm beginning to realize that.

627
00:29:19,157 --> 00:29:21,091
And the beauty of it is...

628
00:29:21,292 --> 00:29:24,420
...she'll never have to know
until I've passed on.

629
00:29:24,629 --> 00:29:27,621
Maybe she'll think kindly of me...

630
00:29:27,966 --> 00:29:29,763
...after I'm gone.

631
00:29:41,045 --> 00:29:43,411
You make me feel like a heel,
coming between you.

632
00:29:43,615 --> 00:29:46,243
No, no, Bruce.
You didn't come between us.

633
00:29:46,451 --> 00:29:49,079
It was all over for her before you came
on the scene. For me...

634
00:29:50,755 --> 00:29:52,245
...it'll never be. What do you want?

635
00:29:52,457 --> 00:29:54,823
Can I see you a minute, please?

636
00:29:56,060 --> 00:29:57,584
Excuse me, Bruce.

637
00:29:58,997 --> 00:30:00,396
Did you get it, you get it?

638
00:30:00,598 --> 00:30:01,929
Where is it? Come on.

639
00:30:02,133 --> 00:30:05,796
- Certified?
- Sure. But Walter, that's for $2,500.

640
00:30:08,106 --> 00:30:09,835
Here we are certified
and everything.

641
00:30:10,041 --> 00:30:11,975
Certified.

642
00:30:13,745 --> 00:30:17,340
I'm afraid Hildy'll feel ashamed
to think she hasn't trusted you.

643
00:30:17,549 --> 00:30:18,641
But she'll know some day.

644
00:30:18,850 --> 00:30:22,445
You promised to phone her
as soon as you got the check.

645
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:24,144
Oh, yes, yes, of course.

646
00:30:24,355 --> 00:30:27,449
Get me Hildy Johnson, press room,
criminal courts building.

647
00:30:27,659 --> 00:30:30,787
Sit down, Bruce.
The operator will get her for you.

648
00:30:32,130 --> 00:30:33,893
Excuse me, will you?

649
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:36,995
Yes, I'll wait, thank you.

650
00:30:39,504 --> 00:30:42,029
Start hollering. Hildegarde.

651
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,764
Thank you.

652
00:30:43,975 --> 00:30:45,499
Hildy Johnson speaking.

653
00:30:48,913 --> 00:30:50,710
Take it easy, will you?

654
00:30:53,051 --> 00:30:55,042
Did you get the check?
Is it certified?

655
00:30:55,253 --> 00:30:58,222
Certified and everything.
I have it right in my pocket.

656
00:30:58,790 --> 00:31:00,382
In your pocket. That's fine.

657
00:31:00,592 --> 00:31:02,992
Wait. Maybe it isn't so fine.
Where are you?

658
00:31:03,228 --> 00:31:04,320
Mr. Burns' office.

659
00:31:04,529 --> 00:31:05,655
Is he there?

660
00:31:06,364 --> 00:31:10,494
Look, Bruce. I don't want you to
carry that check in your pocket.

661
00:31:10,702 --> 00:31:12,067
Well, because...

662
00:31:12,270 --> 00:31:14,363
Yes, yes, I know all that.
But...

663
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,905
There's an old
newspaper superstition...

664
00:31:18,109 --> 00:31:21,169
...that the first big check you get,
you put in the lining of your hat.

665
00:31:22,046 --> 00:31:24,844
In your hat. It brings good luck.

666
00:31:25,049 --> 00:31:26,983
I've been a reporter for 20 years.
I never heard that.

667
00:31:27,185 --> 00:31:30,586
Neither did I. I know it
sounds silly, dear, but do it for me.

668
00:31:30,788 --> 00:31:32,016
Yes, yes, right now.

669
00:31:32,223 --> 00:31:34,316
All right. Just a minute.

670
00:31:43,534 --> 00:31:44,865
There, I've done it.

671
00:31:45,069 --> 00:31:46,468
Anything else?

672
00:31:47,238 --> 00:31:48,637
Oh, yes.

673
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:49,898
All right.

674
00:31:52,543 --> 00:31:54,602
Yes, I'll tell him. Goodbye.

675
00:31:55,246 --> 00:31:56,270
Everything all right?

676
00:31:56,481 --> 00:31:58,346
Hildy said she'll get right to work.

677
00:31:58,549 --> 00:32:00,073
- Fine.
- I must be going now.

678
00:32:00,285 --> 00:32:03,118
You don't want to forget this.
It might rain, you know.

679
00:32:03,321 --> 00:32:04,321
Thanks.

680
00:32:04,355 --> 00:32:07,449
You mind if I don't show you out?
I'm so busy in here.

681
00:32:07,659 --> 00:32:08,751
Thanks for everything.

682
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,985
- What did you say?
- Thanks for everything.

683
00:32:11,195 --> 00:32:14,062
Nonsense. Don't thank me.
I should thank you.

684
00:32:14,265 --> 00:32:15,755
- So long.
- So long.

685
00:32:29,180 --> 00:32:30,374
Hello, Cooley.

686
00:32:31,115 --> 00:32:32,605
What are you doing here?

687
00:32:32,817 --> 00:32:34,682
I want an interview with Earl Williams.

688
00:32:34,886 --> 00:32:36,012
- No more interviews.
- Why not?

689
00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:39,712
Sheriff's orders. Besides, a doctor's
coming over. Can't do it.

690
00:32:39,924 --> 00:32:41,323
Say, is this your money?

691
00:32:41,526 --> 00:32:42,891
- I don't think it is.
- Twenty bucks?

692
00:32:43,094 --> 00:32:44,652
- I guess it is.
- That's what I thought.

693
00:32:44,862 --> 00:32:46,193
Come on, I'm in a hurry.

694
00:32:46,397 --> 00:32:47,728
Open up here.

695
00:32:47,932 --> 00:32:50,093
- Now, Hildy, don't be...
- I won't be long.

696
00:32:55,273 --> 00:32:57,104
- Hello, Earl.
- Hello.

697
00:32:57,308 --> 00:32:59,936
My name's Johnson. Mind if I talk to
you for a few minutes?

698
00:33:00,144 --> 00:33:02,374
No, I haven't anything else to do.

699
00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:04,207
I guess that's right.

700
00:33:08,019 --> 00:33:11,580
So I couldn't plead insanity.
I'm just as sane as anybody else.

701
00:33:11,789 --> 00:33:13,188
You didn't mean to kill that policeman?

702
00:33:13,391 --> 00:33:16,292
Of course not. It's against
everything I stand for.

703
00:33:16,494 --> 00:33:19,258
They know it was an accident.
I'm not guilty.

704
00:33:19,464 --> 00:33:21,329
It's just the world.

705
00:33:23,134 --> 00:33:24,396
I see what you mean.

706
00:33:24,602 --> 00:33:28,333
Sorry about the lipstick, Earl.
Now, look, after you lost your job...

707
00:33:28,539 --> 00:33:31,301
- ...what did you do?
- I tried to find another job.

708
00:33:31,509 --> 00:33:33,238
I mean, how did you spend your time?

709
00:33:33,444 --> 00:33:37,346
I used to sit around in the park,
anyplace. I don't smoke.

710
00:33:37,548 --> 00:33:40,483
When you were in the park,
did you hear any speeches?

711
00:33:40,685 --> 00:33:43,153
You mean those fellows
that talk too much?

712
00:33:43,988 --> 00:33:45,421
I didn't pay any attention...

713
00:33:45,623 --> 00:33:47,614
Did you hear anything they said?

714
00:33:47,825 --> 00:33:48,825
Yes.

715
00:33:49,093 --> 00:33:51,527
Is there anything in particular
you remember?

716
00:33:51,729 --> 00:33:53,856
- There was one fellow.
- What did he talk about?

717
00:33:54,065 --> 00:33:56,260
He talked about production for use.

718
00:33:56,467 --> 00:33:57,593
Production for use?

719
00:33:57,802 --> 00:34:00,862
Yes, he said everything
should be made use of.

720
00:34:01,072 --> 00:34:02,369
Makes sense, doesn't it?

721
00:34:02,573 --> 00:34:05,235
Yes, I liked him.
He was a good speaker.

722
00:34:05,843 --> 00:34:07,868
When you found yourself
with that gun in your hand...

723
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:11,139
...and that policeman coming at you,
what did you think about?

724
00:34:11,349 --> 00:34:12,941
I don't know exactly.

725
00:34:13,151 --> 00:34:15,642
Could it have been
"production for use"?

726
00:34:15,853 --> 00:34:19,380
- I don't know. L...
- What's a gun for, Earl?

727
00:34:19,590 --> 00:34:20,716
A gun?

728
00:34:20,925 --> 00:34:22,756
Why, to shoot, of course.

729
00:34:23,795 --> 00:34:25,660
And maybe that's why you used it.

730
00:34:25,863 --> 00:34:27,387
- Maybe.
- It seems reasonable.

731
00:34:27,598 --> 00:34:29,589
Yes, yes, it is.

732
00:34:29,801 --> 00:34:32,201
I've never had a gun in my hand before.

733
00:34:32,403 --> 00:34:34,428
And that's what a gun's for, isn't it?

734
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:36,300
- Maybe that's why...
- Sure, it is.

735
00:34:36,507 --> 00:34:41,035
That's what I thought of. "Production
for use". It's simple, isn't it?

736
00:34:41,245 --> 00:34:43,736
- Very simple.
- There's nothing crazy about that.

737
00:34:43,948 --> 00:34:46,574
- Nothing at all.
- Write about that in your paper.

738
00:34:46,784 --> 00:34:49,150
You bet I will.
Who sent you the roses?

739
00:34:49,353 --> 00:34:51,048
Miss Mollie Malloy.
She's wonderful...

740
00:34:51,255 --> 00:34:52,347
Is that her picture?

741
00:34:52,557 --> 00:34:55,492
- Yes. She's beautiful, isn't she?
- Time's up, Hildy.

742
00:34:55,693 --> 00:34:56,751
All right.

743
00:34:58,296 --> 00:34:59,296
Guess that's all.

744
00:34:59,330 --> 00:35:02,697
I liked talking to you.
Goodbye, Miss Johnson.

745
00:35:04,102 --> 00:35:05,364
Goodbye, Earl.

746
00:35:06,137 --> 00:35:07,365
Good luck.

747
00:35:10,241 --> 00:35:12,801
- Three landladies, boys.
- Got well, didn't you?

748
00:35:13,010 --> 00:35:14,807
<i>I wonder what the Post
will do without Hildy?</i>

749
00:35:15,012 --> 00:35:17,276
You suppose Walter Burns
will ever let her go?

750
00:35:17,482 --> 00:35:19,780
Remember when Fenton
wanted to go to Hollywood?

751
00:35:19,984 --> 00:35:22,077
- Had him thrown in jail for arson.
- Forgery.

752
00:35:22,286 --> 00:35:24,618
- Was that it?
- Yeah, give me some change.

753
00:35:24,822 --> 00:35:25,822
Hey, Mac.

754
00:35:26,257 --> 00:35:27,656
Hey, Stairway Sam.

755
00:35:28,459 --> 00:35:30,393
Would you mind turning on some lights?

756
00:35:30,595 --> 00:35:32,392
It's so dark, you can't see anything.

757
00:35:32,597 --> 00:35:34,121
Who's this guy Hildy's marrying?

758
00:35:34,332 --> 00:35:35,822
I don't know. Bruce something.

759
00:35:36,033 --> 00:35:38,297
- I give the marriage six months.
- Why?

760
00:35:38,503 --> 00:35:40,698
She won't be able to be away
from the paper any longer.

761
00:35:40,905 --> 00:35:42,964
Did you see her
when that bell went off?

762
00:35:43,174 --> 00:35:47,042
It must be pretty nice to be able
to walk out of a place and quit.

763
00:35:47,245 --> 00:35:50,612
I had a publicity job offered to
me last year. I should have taken it.

764
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:52,749
That's what I'd like,
a job on the side.

765
00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:56,716
A desk and a stenographer.
I wouldn't mind a nice, big blonde.

766
00:35:56,921 --> 00:35:58,013
With big brown eyes.

767
00:35:58,222 --> 00:36:01,089
I'll bet you ten to one it don't last
six months.

768
00:36:01,292 --> 00:36:04,693
She's just like us, or we wouldn't be
waiting for that guy to dance.

769
00:36:04,896 --> 00:36:08,161
- Miss Mollie Malloy.
- Hello, Mollie. How's tricks?

770
00:36:08,366 --> 00:36:12,598
- I've been looking for you tramps.
- Come to pay a call on Williams?

771
00:36:12,803 --> 00:36:16,466
Nice roses you sent Earl. What do you
want done with them tomorrow?

772
00:36:16,674 --> 00:36:18,073
A lot of wise guys, ain't you?

773
00:36:18,276 --> 00:36:20,267
You're breaking up the game.
What do you want?

774
00:36:20,478 --> 00:36:21,740
I came to...

775
00:36:23,181 --> 00:36:25,149
I came to tell you what I
think of you. All of you.

776
00:36:25,349 --> 00:36:26,748
Keep your shirt on.

777
00:36:26,951 --> 00:36:29,715
If you was worth breaking my nails on,
I'd tear your face open.

778
00:36:29,921 --> 00:36:33,186
What are you sore about?
Wasn't that a swell story we gave you?

779
00:36:34,492 --> 00:36:37,222
You crumbs have been making
a fool out of me long enough.

780
00:36:37,428 --> 00:36:40,864
I never said I loved Earl, and was
willing to marry him on the gallows.

781
00:36:41,065 --> 00:36:42,065
You made that up.

782
00:36:42,166 --> 00:36:45,329
And about my being his soul mate and
having a love nest with him.

783
00:36:45,536 --> 00:36:48,437
You've been around that cuckoo
since they threw him in the death house.

784
00:36:48,639 --> 00:36:51,540
- That's a lie.
- Everybody knows you're his girlfriend.

785
00:36:51,742 --> 00:36:54,540
I met Mr. Williams
just once in my life.

786
00:36:54,745 --> 00:36:57,270
When he was wandering in the
rain without his hat and coat on...

787
00:36:57,481 --> 00:36:59,574
...like a sick dog,
the day before the shooting.

788
00:36:59,784 --> 00:37:00,784
Give me one.

789
00:37:00,851 --> 00:37:02,944
I went up to him like any
human being would...

790
00:37:03,154 --> 00:37:05,019
...and asked him what was the matter.

791
00:37:05,223 --> 00:37:08,715
He told me about being fired after
being on the job for 14 years.

792
00:37:08,926 --> 00:37:10,587
- Who bets?
- Bet 20 cents.

793
00:37:10,795 --> 00:37:13,127
I brought him up to my room
because it was warm.

794
00:37:13,331 --> 00:37:15,060
Put it on a phonograph.

795
00:37:15,266 --> 00:37:17,166
Listen to me, please.

796
00:37:18,002 --> 00:37:21,597
I tell you he just sat there
talking to me all night.

797
00:37:21,806 --> 00:37:24,036
He never once laid a hand on me.

798
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:26,301
And in the morning he went away...

799
00:37:26,510 --> 00:37:29,104
...and I never saw him again
till that day of the trial.

800
00:37:29,814 --> 00:37:32,078
- Sure, I was his witness.
- And what a witness.

801
00:37:32,283 --> 00:37:33,944
That's why you're persecuting me.

802
00:37:34,151 --> 00:37:37,245
Because Earl treated me decent,
and not like an animal.

803
00:37:37,455 --> 00:37:39,946
- We're busy.
- Go see your boyfriend.

804
00:37:40,157 --> 00:37:41,852
- He's got a nice room.
- Not for long.

805
00:37:42,059 --> 00:37:44,050
He left a call for 7 a.m.

806
00:37:44,328 --> 00:37:48,662
It's a wonder lightning don't
come down and strike you all dead.

807
00:37:59,176 --> 00:38:00,302
What's that?

808
00:38:00,511 --> 00:38:03,742
They're fixing up a pain in the neck
for your boyfriend.

809
00:38:04,215 --> 00:38:05,477
Shame on you.

810
00:38:05,683 --> 00:38:07,116
Shame on you!

811
00:38:08,419 --> 00:38:11,388
A poor little fellow that never
meant nobody no harm.

812
00:38:11,589 --> 00:38:14,581
Sitting with the angel of death,
and you cracking jokes.

813
00:38:14,792 --> 00:38:16,487
You're going to get out of here.

814
00:38:16,694 --> 00:38:19,051
- Take your hands off me!
- Let's get out of here.

815
00:38:19,263 --> 00:38:20,389
They ain't human.

816
00:38:20,598 --> 00:38:23,226
- I know. They're newspapermen.
- All they've been doing is lying.

817
00:38:23,434 --> 00:38:25,425
All they're doing is writing lies.

818
00:38:25,636 --> 00:38:27,399
Why won't they listen to me?

819
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,070
Why won't they listen to me?

820
00:38:48,793 --> 00:38:49,817
Who?

821
00:38:50,027 --> 00:38:51,027
Hildy Johnson?

822
00:38:51,696 --> 00:38:53,755
Hang on. She'll be back in a minute.

823
00:38:57,702 --> 00:38:59,829
You guys want to play any more cards?

824
00:39:00,037 --> 00:39:02,767
What's the use? I can't win anyway.

825
00:39:19,557 --> 00:39:21,218
Gentlemen of the press.

826
00:39:23,728 --> 00:39:24,820
Hildy.

827
00:39:25,162 --> 00:39:26,459
Phone for you.

828
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:33,670
What?

829
00:39:34,171 --> 00:39:35,331
Where are you?

830
00:39:35,806 --> 00:39:37,137
You're where?

831
00:39:37,708 --> 00:39:39,437
Well, how did that happen?

832
00:39:39,810 --> 00:39:41,971
Never mind, never mind.
I'll be right down.

833
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:46,009
I'm sorry, Pete. Sorry.

834
00:39:47,284 --> 00:39:48,717
Hi, Sheriff. How you doing?

835
00:39:48,919 --> 00:39:52,650
My shin and my back.
What's going on around here?

836
00:39:52,857 --> 00:39:55,587
- Bruce was in trouble.
- Lioness rushes to defend cub.

837
00:39:55,793 --> 00:39:58,023
Man forgets hankie.
Mama goes to wipe nose.

838
00:39:58,229 --> 00:40:00,254
I still give that marriage
six months.

839
00:40:00,464 --> 00:40:02,523
I don't know what you fellows
are talking about.

840
00:40:02,733 --> 00:40:04,360
What do you want, Pete?

841
00:40:04,568 --> 00:40:07,662
Oh, I got the tickets for
the hanging here, boys.

842
00:40:07,872 --> 00:40:09,100
- Pete?
- What?

843
00:40:09,306 --> 00:40:13,037
Why can't you hang this guy at
five o'clock instead of seven?

844
00:40:13,244 --> 00:40:16,111
It won't hurt you, and
we can make the city edition.

845
00:40:16,313 --> 00:40:17,610
That's kind of raw, Roy...

846
00:40:17,815 --> 00:40:20,340
...hanging a man in his sleep
to please a newspaper.

847
00:40:20,551 --> 00:40:23,952
But you can reprieve him twice
so he hangs three days before election.

848
00:40:24,155 --> 00:40:26,282
And you can run on a
law-and-order ticket.

849
00:40:26,490 --> 00:40:29,254
I had absolutely nothing
to do with those reprieves.

850
00:40:29,460 --> 00:40:31,485
How do we know there won't
be another tonight?

851
00:40:31,695 --> 00:40:33,720
What if Egelhoffer
finds Williams insane?

852
00:40:33,931 --> 00:40:37,526
He won't find him insane, because
he isn't. He's just as sane as I am.

853
00:40:37,735 --> 00:40:39,134
Saner!

854
00:40:39,336 --> 00:40:41,930
Be serious, boys.
After all, this is a hanging.

855
00:40:42,139 --> 00:40:44,039
And it's going to go
according to schedule.

856
00:40:44,241 --> 00:40:46,675
Seven o'clock in the morning
and not a minute earlier.

857
00:40:46,877 --> 00:40:49,175
There's such a thing as
being humane, you know.

858
00:40:49,380 --> 00:40:51,314
All right, Pinky.
Wait until you want a favor.

859
00:40:51,515 --> 00:40:53,642
- And please don't call me Pinky.
- Why not?

860
00:40:53,851 --> 00:40:56,752
Because I got a name, see,
and it's Peter B. Hartwell.

861
00:40:56,954 --> 00:40:58,422
- What's the "B" for?
- Bull.

862
00:40:59,290 --> 00:41:02,657
But I'm innocent. I didn't do it.
I never stole a watch in my life!

863
00:41:02,860 --> 00:41:05,192
I know you didn't, Bruce.
Mike, let him out.

864
00:41:05,396 --> 00:41:08,490
I can't. He's accused of stealing
a watch they found on him.

865
00:41:08,699 --> 00:41:10,462
- But I never stole...
- Please, Bruce.

866
00:41:10,668 --> 00:41:12,431
Who accused him?
Diamond Louie, a crook.

867
00:41:12,636 --> 00:41:15,503
- I know. It's no good.
- You going to let him out or not?

868
00:41:15,706 --> 00:41:17,071
- I never stole...
- Please.

869
00:41:17,274 --> 00:41:19,902
<i>All right, you're not.
Read the Post in the morning.</i>

870
00:41:20,110 --> 00:41:22,578
I can't imagine who'd do a thing
like that to me.

871
00:41:22,780 --> 00:41:25,715
- I can't think of any enemies.
- I'm sure you haven't any...

872
00:41:25,916 --> 00:41:28,885
- Have you got the check?
- Oh, yes, I have it right here.

873
00:41:29,220 --> 00:41:32,087
That's a funny superstition
you newspaper people have.

874
00:41:32,289 --> 00:41:33,950
Yes, isn't it?

875
00:41:34,158 --> 00:41:35,750
About being arrested, I thought...

876
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,986
...maybe Walter Burns might have
something to do with it.

877
00:41:39,196 --> 00:41:41,391
But then, of course,
I realized he couldn't have.

878
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:43,931
- Why?
- He's a very nice fellow.

879
00:41:44,134 --> 00:41:46,034
Oh, yes, I found that out.

880
00:41:46,237 --> 00:41:48,967
- What's the matter?
- I've lost my wallet.

881
00:41:49,173 --> 00:41:51,869
Yes? Well, Bruce, never mind.
I have the money.

882
00:41:52,076 --> 00:41:53,600
Better give me the check too.

883
00:41:53,811 --> 00:41:55,506
And that picture of us in Bermuda.

884
00:41:55,713 --> 00:41:58,876
Don't bother, Bruce.
You'll find lots of things missing.

885
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:04,147
Wait here.
I'm not taking any more chances.

886
00:42:04,355 --> 00:42:06,755
I'll be down in three minutes.
We'll take the next train.

887
00:42:06,957 --> 00:42:07,957
Sorry.

888
00:42:09,260 --> 00:42:11,490
"And so into this
little tortured mind...

889
00:42:11,695 --> 00:42:14,789
...came the idea that that gun
had been produced for use.

890
00:42:14,999 --> 00:42:16,489
And use it he did.

891
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:21,034
But the state has a production
for use plan too. It has a gallows.

892
00:42:21,238 --> 00:42:24,435
And at 7 a.m., unless a miracle occurs,
that gallows will be used...

893
00:42:24,642 --> 00:42:27,577
...to separate the soul
of Earl Williams from his body.

894
00:42:27,778 --> 00:42:29,507
And out of Mollie Malloy's life...

895
00:42:29,713 --> 00:42:32,739
...will go the one kindly
soul she ever knew".

896
00:42:33,551 --> 00:42:35,815
That's as far as she got.

897
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:37,851
But can that girl write an interview?

898
00:42:38,055 --> 00:42:39,579
She'll do till somebody
else comes along.

899
00:42:39,790 --> 00:42:42,156
It's not ethical,
reading other people's stuff.

900
00:42:42,359 --> 00:42:43,849
Where you get that ethics stuff?

901
00:42:44,061 --> 00:42:45,995
You're the only one
who'll swipe any of it.

902
00:42:46,196 --> 00:42:50,030
I say anybody that can write like that
won't give it up to sew socks...

903
00:42:50,234 --> 00:42:52,202
...for a guy in the
insurance business.

904
00:42:52,403 --> 00:42:54,803
Now I give that marriage 3 months
and I'm laying 3-1.

905
00:42:55,005 --> 00:42:56,973
- Any takers?
- I'll take that bet.

906
00:42:57,174 --> 00:43:00,610
A girl can't leave the room without
being discussed by old ladies.

907
00:43:00,811 --> 00:43:03,575
<i>Hello, Post? Get me Walter Burns,
will you, please?</i>

908
00:43:03,881 --> 00:43:05,610
Don't get sore.
We were only saying...

909
00:43:05,816 --> 00:43:08,046
...a reporter like you
wouldn't quit so easy.

910
00:43:08,252 --> 00:43:11,983
This is Hildy Johnson. I can quit
all right, without a single quiver.

911
00:43:12,189 --> 00:43:14,783
I'll live like a human being,
not like you chumps.

912
00:43:14,992 --> 00:43:17,392
Is that you?
I've got some news for you.

913
00:43:17,595 --> 00:43:20,723
I got the interview, but I've got
some more important news.

914
00:43:20,931 --> 00:43:22,990
Better get a pencil
and take it down.

915
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:24,633
All ready?

916
00:43:24,835 --> 00:43:27,303
Now, get this,
you double-crossing chimpanzee.

917
00:43:27,504 --> 00:43:29,734
There won't be an interview
or a story.

918
00:43:29,940 --> 00:43:31,874
Your check leaves with me
in 20 minutes.

919
00:43:32,076 --> 00:43:34,544
I wouldn't cover
the burning of Rome for you.

920
00:43:34,745 --> 00:43:36,770
And if I ever lay my eyes
on you again...

921
00:43:36,981 --> 00:43:40,280
...I'll hammer on your monkey skull
so it rings like a Chinese gong!

922
00:43:40,484 --> 00:43:44,011
You don't know why I'm angry?
Get Louie to tell you about his watch.

923
00:43:44,221 --> 00:43:46,416
And there's just one other
little thing.

924
00:43:49,827 --> 00:43:52,352
Hear that?
That's the story I just wrote.

925
00:43:52,563 --> 00:43:54,963
I know we had a bargain.
I said I'd write it.

926
00:43:55,165 --> 00:43:58,396
I didn't say I wouldn't tear it up.
It's all in little pieces now.

927
00:43:58,602 --> 00:44:00,729
And I hope to do the same
for you someday.

928
00:44:00,938 --> 00:44:03,099
That's my farewell
to the newspaper game.

929
00:44:03,307 --> 00:44:05,138
I'll be a woman.
Not a news machine.

930
00:44:05,342 --> 00:44:09,142
I'll have babies, give them cod-liver
oil and watch their teeth grow.

931
00:44:09,346 --> 00:44:12,338
And if I ever see one of them
look at a paper, I'll brain him.

932
00:44:12,549 --> 00:44:13,743
Where's my hat?

933
00:44:15,386 --> 00:44:18,287
- Mr. Burns? Yes, she's still here.
- Give me that.

934
00:44:20,391 --> 00:44:21,688
And another thing I want...

935
00:44:23,460 --> 00:44:25,860
Where is my...
There it is.

936
00:44:26,196 --> 00:44:28,756
- Hello, Doctor. Sorry to be late.
- Quite all right.

937
00:44:28,966 --> 00:44:31,230
These boys from the newspapers
take up my time.

938
00:44:31,435 --> 00:44:33,596
They wanted me to hang Williams
at their convenience.

939
00:44:33,804 --> 00:44:35,904
- Oh, hello, Earl.
- These newspapers.

940
00:44:36,106 --> 00:44:38,074
- What they did to me in Chicago!
- I believe it.

941
00:44:38,275 --> 00:44:39,970
- Always after me for interviews.
- Me too.

942
00:44:40,177 --> 00:44:42,407
I did promise to make
some sort of statement...

943
00:44:42,613 --> 00:44:44,513
...when I finished here.
You don't mind, do you?

944
00:44:44,715 --> 00:44:47,582
It is hardly ethical. All statements
are supposed to come from me.

945
00:44:47,785 --> 00:44:51,482
I see. What do you say to giving
them some sort of joint interview?

946
00:44:51,689 --> 00:44:54,556
I can discuss some of the psychological
aspects of the case and you...

947
00:44:54,758 --> 00:44:56,453
We'd have our pictures
taken together?

948
00:44:56,660 --> 00:44:58,252
- Shaking hands.
- Splendid idea!

949
00:44:58,462 --> 00:44:59,622
I don't take a good picture.

950
00:44:59,830 --> 00:45:02,162
That doesn't matter.
Publicity's the thing.

951
00:45:02,366 --> 00:45:04,857
Doctor, I'm getting awful tired.

952
00:45:05,069 --> 00:45:06,934
Can't I go back to jail again?

953
00:45:07,137 --> 00:45:08,764
I'm sorry.
I forgot you were there.

954
00:45:08,972 --> 00:45:10,701
No, we've further questions for you.

955
00:45:10,908 --> 00:45:12,933
Sheriff, would you extinguish
the lights?

956
00:45:13,143 --> 00:45:17,273
That will help with what we're
doing here. Now, let me see.

957
00:45:18,849 --> 00:45:22,307
Mr. Williams, you know, of course,
that you are going to be executed.

958
00:45:22,519 --> 00:45:25,181
Who do you feel
is responsible for that?

959
00:45:25,389 --> 00:45:28,119
I am innocent. It wasn't my fault.

960
00:45:28,325 --> 00:45:30,020
- Well, Murph.
- Send a post card, kid.

961
00:45:30,227 --> 00:45:31,819
- Goodbye.
- Au revoir, Hildegarde.

962
00:45:32,029 --> 00:45:33,087
When will we see you again?

963
00:45:33,297 --> 00:45:35,424
Next time you see me,
I'll be in a Rolls Royce...

964
00:45:35,632 --> 00:45:37,429
...giving interviews on success.

965
00:45:37,634 --> 00:45:39,067
So long, you wage slaves.

966
00:45:39,803 --> 00:45:42,465
When you're climbing fire escapes,
getting kicked out front doors...

967
00:45:42,673 --> 00:45:44,470
...and eating in one-armed joints...

968
00:45:44,675 --> 00:45:46,870
...don't forget your pal,
Hildy Johnson.

969
00:45:47,077 --> 00:45:50,342
And when the road beyond unfolds,
and the work...

970
00:45:57,154 --> 00:45:58,451
Look out! It's a jailbreak!

971
00:46:01,959 --> 00:46:04,393
What's the matter? What happened?

972
00:46:05,429 --> 00:46:07,397
Watch where you're aiming,
will you?

973
00:46:07,598 --> 00:46:09,327
Watch the gate! He'll try the gate!

974
00:46:09,533 --> 00:46:10,659
Who got away? Who was it?

975
00:46:10,868 --> 00:46:12,301
- Earl Williams!
- Who did he say?

976
00:46:12,503 --> 00:46:13,868
Earl Williams!

977
00:46:15,305 --> 00:46:17,535
Hello, hello! Hurry up,
this is important.

978
00:46:18,142 --> 00:46:20,133
- Flash! Earl Williams just escaped.
- Jailbreak!

979
00:46:20,677 --> 00:46:21,905
Williams went over the wall!

980
00:46:22,112 --> 00:46:23,409
I don't know anything yet.

981
00:46:29,486 --> 00:46:32,421
<i>Hello, Post? Give me Walter Burns,
quick. Hildy Johnson.</i>

982
00:46:33,690 --> 00:46:35,089
Walter? Walter? Hildy.

983
00:46:35,292 --> 00:46:37,692
Earl Williams just escaped
from the county jail.

984
00:46:38,495 --> 00:46:40,395
Don't worry, I'm on the job.

985
00:46:55,279 --> 00:46:56,974
Hey, Cooley!

986
00:46:57,181 --> 00:46:58,181
Wait!

987
00:47:02,252 --> 00:47:03,981
Hey, wait a minute!

988
00:47:23,173 --> 00:47:25,107
Cooley, I want to talk to you!

989
00:47:34,818 --> 00:47:36,683
This is Endicott. Give me rewrite.

990
00:47:37,588 --> 00:47:38,714
He ain't here.

991
00:47:38,922 --> 00:47:40,981
Hello, Gil?
Here's the situation now.

992
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:43,625
Ready? Williams was taken to
the sheriff's...

993
00:47:43,827 --> 00:47:47,593
...to be examined by Egelhoffer.
In a few minutes, he shot his way out.

994
00:47:47,798 --> 00:47:51,791
Nobody knows where he got the gun.
He got out through the skylight.

995
00:47:52,002 --> 00:47:53,697
He must have slid down the rainpipe.

996
00:47:53,904 --> 00:47:56,134
Nobody knows where he got it.
Or they won't talk.

997
00:47:56,340 --> 00:47:57,340
Give me the desk.

998
00:47:57,474 --> 00:47:59,908
The crime commission offers
a $10,000 reward.

999
00:48:00,110 --> 00:48:02,510
No clue yet as to
Williams' whereabouts.

1000
00:48:02,713 --> 00:48:05,273
Here's a little feature.
An accident about a tear bomb.

1001
00:48:05,482 --> 00:48:07,882
Yeah, tear bomb, tear bomb.
Criminals cry for it.

1002
00:48:08,085 --> 00:48:09,109
I don't know.

1003
00:48:09,319 --> 00:48:12,948
The tear bomb went off unexpectedly
in the hands of the bombing squad.

1004
00:48:13,156 --> 00:48:14,783
The following deputies
were rushed to the hospital.

1005
00:48:14,992 --> 00:48:16,983
- A fine friend you are.
- Their names are...

1006
00:48:17,194 --> 00:48:19,094
...Mervin D. Wilkerson,
the mayor's brother-in-law.

1007
00:48:19,296 --> 00:48:20,524
After all I've done for you.

1008
00:48:20,731 --> 00:48:22,995
Howard Schuster, the sheriff's uncle.

1009
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,430
Highlights on Sheriff
Hartwell's manhunt.

1010
00:48:25,636 --> 00:48:28,298
William Mansfield, his landlord,
and Lester Winthrop...

1011
00:48:28,505 --> 00:48:29,767
...who married the sheriff's niece.

1012
00:48:29,973 --> 00:48:32,100
You remember, the very homely dame?
Call you back.

1013
00:48:32,309 --> 00:48:35,437
Mrs. William Rice, scrub lady,
while scrubbing the eigth floor...

1014
00:48:35,646 --> 00:48:37,614
...was shot by one of
the sheriff's deputies.

1015
00:48:37,814 --> 00:48:38,814
Look, I'm not...

1016
00:48:39,616 --> 00:48:41,083
There goes another scrub lady!

1017
00:48:41,285 --> 00:48:43,617
It was only a flesh wound.
They took her to the hospital.

1018
00:48:43,820 --> 00:48:46,789
- McCue speaking. Give me the desk.
- Any dope on how he escaped?

1019
00:48:46,990 --> 00:48:48,981
Maybe the sheriff let him out
so he could vote for him.

1020
00:48:49,192 --> 00:48:52,684
A man answering the description
of Earl Williams boarded a southbound...

1021
00:48:52,896 --> 00:48:54,523
Call you back.

1022
00:48:54,731 --> 00:48:57,393
- I thought you'd gone.
- I thought so too.

1023
00:48:57,601 --> 00:48:59,569
Get me Walter Burns, quick!

1024
00:49:03,307 --> 00:49:04,365
Walter, listen.

1025
00:49:04,574 --> 00:49:08,010
I've got the story on how Williams
escaped, and I've got it exclusive.

1026
00:49:08,211 --> 00:49:10,543
That's right, and it's a pip.

1027
00:49:10,747 --> 00:49:13,238
It cost me $450
to tear it out of Cooley.

1028
00:49:13,450 --> 00:49:14,678
What's the story?

1029
00:49:14,885 --> 00:49:18,013
I'll give it to you. But first I have
to tell you I gave him money.

1030
00:49:18,221 --> 00:49:19,654
And it wasn't exactly mine.

1031
00:49:19,856 --> 00:49:21,790
It's Bruce's money
and I want it back.

1032
00:49:22,759 --> 00:49:24,056
Bruce's money?

1033
00:49:24,261 --> 00:49:26,695
Sure, you'll get it.
Now, what's the story?

1034
00:49:26,897 --> 00:49:29,764
I'll send the money.
I swear it on my mother's grave.

1035
00:49:29,967 --> 00:49:32,959
All right. Here's the...
Wait a minute, your mother's alive!

1036
00:49:33,170 --> 00:49:35,661
My grandmother's grave.
What's the story?

1037
00:49:35,872 --> 00:49:37,737
You get that money down here.

1038
00:49:37,941 --> 00:49:41,240
All right, here's your story.
The jailbreak of your dreams.

1039
00:49:41,445 --> 00:49:44,209
This expert, Dr. Egelhoffer,
the thinker from New York...

1040
00:49:44,414 --> 00:49:47,008
...was giving Williams a sanity
test in the sheriff's office.

1041
00:49:47,217 --> 00:49:50,448
Sticking a lot of pins in him
so he could get his reflexes.

1042
00:49:50,654 --> 00:49:53,589
He decided to reenact the crime
as it had taken place...

1043
00:49:53,790 --> 00:49:56,384
...in order to study
Williams' coordination.

1044
00:49:56,593 --> 00:49:59,892
I'm coming to it. He had to have a gun
to reenact the crime with.

1045
00:50:00,097 --> 00:50:04,193
Who do you suppose supplied it?
Peter B. Hartwell. "B" for brains.

1046
00:50:06,169 --> 00:50:07,966
No kidding!

1047
00:50:08,605 --> 00:50:11,130
I'm not kidding. I'm not
good enough to make this up.

1048
00:50:11,341 --> 00:50:12,899
The sheriff gave his gun
to the professor...

1049
00:50:13,110 --> 00:50:16,102
...who gave it to Earl, who shot
the professor in the classified ads.

1050
00:50:16,313 --> 00:50:17,837
No, ads.

1051
00:50:18,048 --> 00:50:19,709
Ain't it perfect?

1052
00:50:19,916 --> 00:50:22,441
If he'd unrolled a red carpet
and loaned Williams an umbrella...

1053
00:50:22,652 --> 00:50:23,949
...it couldn't have been more ideal.

1054
00:50:24,154 --> 00:50:26,622
Who? Oh, no.
Egelhoffer wasn't badly hurt.

1055
00:50:26,823 --> 00:50:29,519
They took him to the hospital,
where they're afraid he'll recover.

1056
00:50:29,726 --> 00:50:31,557
That's great work, Hildy.

1057
00:50:31,762 --> 00:50:34,492
Stop worrying about that money.
You'll get it in 15 minutes.

1058
00:50:34,698 --> 00:50:38,691
I had better. Bruce is waiting
in a taxi for me and we're in a hurry.

1059
00:50:38,902 --> 00:50:39,960
Hold on a minute.

1060
00:50:40,170 --> 00:50:41,603
Vangie, come here.

1061
00:50:41,805 --> 00:50:44,137
There's a guy in a taxi
in front of criminal courts.

1062
00:50:44,341 --> 00:50:45,341
Name's Bruce Baldwin.

1063
00:50:45,509 --> 00:50:49,104
- What does he look like?
- He looks like Ralph Bellamy.

1064
00:50:49,312 --> 00:50:50,802
- Oh, him?
- Can you handle it?

1065
00:50:51,014 --> 00:50:52,948
I've never flopped
on you yet, have I?

1066
00:50:53,150 --> 00:50:56,051
Come on, get going. You only got
about two minutes. Hurry.

1067
00:50:56,253 --> 00:50:58,721
Sorry to keep you waiting.
How much was it again?

1068
00:50:58,922 --> 00:51:01,686
$450. Well, just a second.

1069
00:51:01,892 --> 00:51:05,350
Louie, come here. I need $450
worth of counterfeit money.

1070
00:51:05,562 --> 00:51:08,861
- Can't carry that much, boss.
- No, just the $450 counterfeit.

1071
00:51:09,066 --> 00:51:10,066
I got that on me.

1072
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,293
Quite a coincidence.
Take it over to Hildy.

1073
00:51:12,502 --> 00:51:14,470
It's coming.
I'm sending it with Louie.

1074
00:51:14,671 --> 00:51:17,265
Thanks for your story.
And good luck on your honeymoon.

1075
00:51:17,474 --> 00:51:20,807
No, no, never mind the thanks.
Just see that money gets here.

1076
00:51:23,780 --> 00:51:26,613
- Hildy, you still here?
- No, I'm in Niagara Falls.

1077
00:51:26,817 --> 00:51:28,079
McCue speaking.

1078
00:51:28,285 --> 00:51:30,651
Emil, I got a good feature
on the manhunt.

1079
00:51:30,854 --> 00:51:34,950
Ready? Mrs. Phoebe DeWolfe, colored,
gave birth to a pickaninny...

1080
00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,889
...in a patrol wagon with Hartwell's
rifle squad acting as nurses.

1081
00:51:39,096 --> 00:51:40,961
Phoebe was walking along
the street when...

1082
00:51:41,164 --> 00:51:42,597
That's right.

1083
00:51:42,799 --> 00:51:45,700
So they coaxed her
into the patrol wagon.

1084
00:51:45,902 --> 00:51:48,166
When the pickanninny was born,
they checked...

1085
00:51:48,371 --> 00:51:51,465
...to see if it was Earl Williams.
They knew he was hiding somewhere.

1086
00:51:52,109 --> 00:51:55,545
Here's the payoff. They named the kid
Peter Hartwell DeWolfe.

1087
00:51:55,745 --> 00:51:57,610
Press room.

1088
00:51:57,814 --> 00:52:00,339
Bruce? I thought you were
downstairs in a...

1089
00:52:00,550 --> 00:52:01,812
What?

1090
00:52:02,018 --> 00:52:04,248
Arrested again. What for this time?

1091
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:08,720
Well, they called it "mashing".

1092
00:52:09,392 --> 00:52:11,724
No, I didn't, Hildy!

1093
00:52:12,195 --> 00:52:14,322
I was sitting in the taxi
where you left me...

1094
00:52:14,531 --> 00:52:19,332
...and the young lady seemed to have a
dizzy spell and I just...

1095
00:52:22,005 --> 00:52:24,064
She's kind of...

1096
00:52:26,743 --> 00:52:28,506
Yes, she's a blonde.

1097
00:52:28,712 --> 00:52:30,077
Yes, very blonde.

1098
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,578
Never mind. I know how it happened.
Just a minute.

1099
00:52:33,283 --> 00:52:35,774
Get me Walter Burns. Hildy Johnson.

1100
00:52:36,219 --> 00:52:39,620
Bruce, where are you? Twenty-seventh
Precinct? Hold on a minute.

1101
00:52:39,823 --> 00:52:41,586
Walter, you...

1102
00:52:41,791 --> 00:52:43,452
He was there a minute ago.

1103
00:52:43,660 --> 00:52:44,991
But I want...

1104
00:52:45,195 --> 00:52:48,130
"I'm sorry, I can't locate him".
Why, that double-crossing...

1105
00:52:48,331 --> 00:52:51,698
Hello, not you.
Bruce, I can't get there right away.

1106
00:52:51,902 --> 00:52:53,096
How about 20 minutes?

1107
00:52:53,303 --> 00:52:55,134
I have to wait here for the...

1108
00:52:55,338 --> 00:52:57,101
I'll tell you when I see you.

1109
00:52:57,307 --> 00:52:59,070
If I ever get my hands
on Walter...

1110
00:52:59,276 --> 00:53:01,836
- Anything I can do to help?
- How much money you got?

1111
00:53:02,045 --> 00:53:03,376
- $1.80.
- 64 cents.

1112
00:53:03,580 --> 00:53:06,344
- Welcome to it.
- Thanks, you better buy an annuity.

1113
00:53:06,583 --> 00:53:09,984
What's that, Emil? No, I can't
give you an official statement.

1114
00:53:10,187 --> 00:53:13,452
No, wait a minute. Here's the mayor.
How about a statement, Mayor?

1115
00:53:13,657 --> 00:53:16,888
- Don't pester me now, please.
- His Honor won't say anything.

1116
00:53:17,093 --> 00:53:18,958
- Have you seen Hartwell?
- Hard to tell.

1117
00:53:19,162 --> 00:53:20,993
There's so many
cockroaches around...

1118
00:53:21,198 --> 00:53:23,063
Wait a minute.
How about a statement?

1119
00:53:23,266 --> 00:53:26,963
- We go to press in 20 minutes.
- I've nothing to say. Not now.

1120
00:53:27,170 --> 00:53:29,400
Just a moment. What do you know
about the escape?

1121
00:53:29,606 --> 00:53:31,733
- Where'd he get the gun?
- Not so fast.

1122
00:53:31,942 --> 00:53:34,410
- About the election...
- What effect will this have?

1123
00:53:34,611 --> 00:53:36,010
None whatsoever.

1124
00:53:36,213 --> 00:53:38,613
How can an unavoidable
misfortune like this...

1125
00:53:38,815 --> 00:53:42,376
...have any influence on the upright
citizens of our fair city?

1126
00:53:42,586 --> 00:53:45,521
Mr. Mayor, please, is there
a Red Menace or ain't there?

1127
00:53:45,722 --> 00:53:47,383
How did Williams get out?

1128
00:53:47,591 --> 00:53:50,059
Have you picked out somebody
to be responsible?

1129
00:53:50,260 --> 00:53:52,820
Any truth in the report
you're on Stalin's payroll?

1130
00:53:53,029 --> 00:53:55,520
The senator claims you
sleep in red underwear.

1131
00:53:55,732 --> 00:53:58,428
Never mind the jokes.
Don't forget I'm the mayor and...

1132
00:53:58,635 --> 00:54:00,193
Hartwell, I want to see you!

1133
00:54:00,403 --> 00:54:01,427
How'd he get away?

1134
00:54:01,638 --> 00:54:03,003
Where'd he get the gun?

1135
00:54:03,206 --> 00:54:05,640
Any statement on the
Red Uprising tomorrow?

1136
00:54:05,842 --> 00:54:08,106
- Red Uprising?
- There will be no Red Uprising.

1137
00:54:08,311 --> 00:54:11,178
The governor says the situation
calls for the militia.

1138
00:54:11,381 --> 00:54:14,873
I say anything the governor says
is a tissue of lies.

1139
00:54:15,085 --> 00:54:17,781
Here's a red-hot
statement from the governor.

1140
00:54:17,988 --> 00:54:20,422
He claims the mayor and
sheriff have shown themselves...

1141
00:54:20,624 --> 00:54:23,616
...to be a couple of eight-year-olds
playing with fire.

1142
00:54:24,794 --> 00:54:26,659
You can quote him as follows:

1143
00:54:26,863 --> 00:54:29,798
"It's lucky for the city that
next Tuesday is Election Day...

1144
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,730
...as the citizens will thus be saved
the expense of impeaching...

1145
00:54:32,936 --> 00:54:35,769
...the mayor and the sheriff".
That's all. Call you back.

1146
00:54:35,972 --> 00:54:37,701
Nice to have seen you, Mayor.

1147
00:54:37,907 --> 00:54:41,308
- Excuse me, I've got so much to do.
- Wait. Who engineered this getaway?

1148
00:54:41,511 --> 00:54:42,978
- Was it the Reds?
- Was it you?

1149
00:54:43,179 --> 00:54:45,739
Me? Just a minute.
I'll tell you. I've got him located.

1150
00:54:45,949 --> 00:54:46,949
- Williams?
- Where?

1151
00:54:47,017 --> 00:54:48,951
Out on Center Street.
I just got a tip.

1152
00:54:49,152 --> 00:54:51,382
- Why didn't you say so?
- The rifle squad is going out.

1153
00:54:51,588 --> 00:54:53,351
You'll catch him if you hurry.

1154
00:54:53,556 --> 00:54:55,285
- Look, please...
- Pete, I want to talk to you.

1155
00:54:55,492 --> 00:54:56,659
I've got so much to do.

1156
00:54:57,260 --> 00:54:59,091
- See here, Fred...
- Pete, you're through.

1157
00:54:59,296 --> 00:55:00,593
Through? You mean I'm through?

1158
00:55:00,797 --> 00:55:02,856
I'm scratching your name
off the ticket...

1159
00:55:03,066 --> 00:55:04,761
...and running
Sherman in your place.

1160
00:55:04,968 --> 00:55:08,267
"Reform the Red with a rope"!
Williams isn't a Red and you know it!

1161
00:55:08,471 --> 00:55:10,905
But there's Communistic
sympathizers and I thought...

1162
00:55:11,107 --> 00:55:13,166
...if I got a slogan
like that I could...

1163
00:55:13,376 --> 00:55:15,606
That's got nothing to
do with this case.

1164
00:55:15,812 --> 00:55:19,578
There are 200,000 votes at stake.
If he don't hang, we'll lose them.

1165
00:55:19,783 --> 00:55:22,414
We're going to hang him.
He can't get away.

1166
00:55:22,619 --> 00:55:25,019
What do you mean?
He did get away, didn't he?

1167
00:55:25,221 --> 00:55:26,950
What do you want?

1168
00:55:27,157 --> 00:55:29,182
- What do you want?
- Are you Sheriff Hartwell?

1169
00:55:29,392 --> 00:55:31,019
I'm him. What is it?

1170
00:55:31,227 --> 00:55:34,856
You're a hard man to find.
I have a message from the governor.

1171
00:55:35,065 --> 00:55:37,329
- What?
- It was a reprieve for Earl Williams.

1172
00:55:37,534 --> 00:55:39,024
- For who?
- Earl Williams.

1173
00:55:39,235 --> 00:55:41,601
You said there wasn't going
to be a reprieve.

1174
00:55:41,805 --> 00:55:45,263
It frightens me to think of what
I'd like to do to you. Who was there?

1175
00:55:45,475 --> 00:55:47,636
- Nobody. He was fishing.
- Get the governor on the phone.

1176
00:55:47,844 --> 00:55:49,641
He's not there.
He's duck shooting.

1177
00:55:49,846 --> 00:55:52,508
Blasted nimrod!
Fishing, duck shooting...

1178
00:55:52,716 --> 00:55:55,310
A guy who's done nothing
for the last 40 years...

1179
00:55:55,518 --> 00:55:57,543
...gets elected governor
and he's a Tarzan.

1180
00:55:57,754 --> 00:56:01,155
Read that. "Insane". He knows
very well Williams isn't insane.

1181
00:56:01,358 --> 00:56:03,019
I never met the man.

1182
00:56:03,226 --> 00:56:05,524
- Pure politics.
- It's an attempt to ruin us.

1183
00:56:05,729 --> 00:56:07,196
What do we tell the reporters?

1184
00:56:07,397 --> 00:56:10,127
Tell them the party is through
on account of you.

1185
00:56:10,333 --> 00:56:13,234
As an afterthought, tell them
I want your resignation now.

1186
00:56:13,436 --> 00:56:15,563
Hello. Yes, yes, this is Hartwell.

1187
00:56:15,772 --> 00:56:17,103
What? Where?

1188
00:56:18,208 --> 00:56:19,766
Holy Moses! Hold the wire!

1189
00:56:19,976 --> 00:56:21,204
They've got Williams!

1190
00:56:21,411 --> 00:56:23,276
The rifle squad has him
at his house.

1191
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,846
- Tell them to hold the phone.
- Hold the wire.

1192
00:56:26,049 --> 00:56:29,041
- Cover up that transmitter.
- No. Now, listen.

1193
00:56:29,252 --> 00:56:30,583
You never arrived with this.

1194
00:56:30,787 --> 00:56:32,652
Yes, I did. I came through
that door...

1195
00:56:32,856 --> 00:56:35,290
- How much do you make?
- I thought he was sheriff...

1196
00:56:35,492 --> 00:56:37,221
- What's your salary?
- $40 a week.

1197
00:56:37,427 --> 00:56:40,590
How'd you like to make $350 a month?
That's almost $100 a week.

1198
00:56:40,797 --> 00:56:42,662
I couldn't afford that. Who? Me?

1199
00:56:42,866 --> 00:56:45,835
They need a fellow like you
in the city sealer's office.

1200
00:56:46,035 --> 00:56:47,195
- The what?
- City sealer's.

1201
00:56:47,404 --> 00:56:49,304
You mean I should work
in the sealer's...

1202
00:56:49,506 --> 00:56:53,909
My wife wouldn't like that. She lives
in the country with my family.

1203
00:56:54,110 --> 00:56:57,944
That's all right. Bring her in.
We'll pay all the expenses.

1204
00:56:58,148 --> 00:57:00,082
- I don't think so.
- Why not?

1205
00:57:00,283 --> 00:57:03,684
I got two kids in school. If they
change towns, they'll lose a grade...

1206
00:57:03,887 --> 00:57:05,377
No. They'll skip a grade.

1207
00:57:05,588 --> 00:57:07,852
And I guarantee you
that they'll graduate...

1208
00:57:08,057 --> 00:57:09,957
Hold your horses, Olsen.
Hurry up, Fred.

1209
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:11,286
Now, what do you say?

1210
00:57:11,494 --> 00:57:13,223
That puts me in a peculiar hole.

1211
00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:15,591
No, it doesn't.
You never delivered this.

1212
00:57:15,799 --> 00:57:17,994
You got caught in traffic
or something.

1213
00:57:18,201 --> 00:57:19,828
- No, I came...
- Pretend you didn't.

1214
00:57:20,036 --> 00:57:22,504
Now get out and don't let
anybody see you.

1215
00:57:22,705 --> 00:57:25,105
- But how do I know...
- Come to my office tomorrow.

1216
00:57:25,308 --> 00:57:26,798
- What's your name?
- Pettibone.

1217
00:57:27,010 --> 00:57:28,307
- Pettibone?
- Not really.

1218
00:57:28,511 --> 00:57:30,411
Lay low and keep your mouth shut.

1219
00:57:30,613 --> 00:57:32,604
- I'm tired anyhow.
- Go to this address.

1220
00:57:32,816 --> 00:57:33,976
Nice homey place.

1221
00:57:34,184 --> 00:57:36,482
They'll take care of you.
Tell them Fred sent you.

1222
00:57:36,686 --> 00:57:39,746
- Here's $50 on account.
- Wait, I'll tell you in one minute.

1223
00:57:39,956 --> 00:57:42,424
You forgot to tell me
what a city sealer does.

1224
00:57:42,625 --> 00:57:44,286
- Is it hard?
- Easy. Very easy.

1225
00:57:44,494 --> 00:57:46,519
Good, because my health isn't
what my wife...

1226
00:57:46,729 --> 00:57:48,287
- We'll fix that too.
- My wife?

1227
00:57:48,498 --> 00:57:50,557
Yes, fix anything. Go ahead.

1228
00:57:50,767 --> 00:57:52,166
They're still on the phone.

1229
00:57:52,368 --> 00:57:56,134
- Tell them to shoot to kill.
- But the reprieve!

1230
00:57:56,339 --> 00:57:58,705
- Go ahead and do as I tell you.
- Hello, Olsen.

1231
00:57:58,908 --> 00:58:01,433
Shoot to kill. That's the orders.
Pass the word along.

1232
00:58:01,644 --> 00:58:04,135
- $500 reward.
- $500 for the man who does it.

1233
00:58:04,347 --> 00:58:05,678
I'll be right over.

1234
00:58:08,251 --> 00:58:09,343
Hi, Hildy.

1235
00:58:09,552 --> 00:58:11,577
You double-crossing hyena.

1236
00:58:11,788 --> 00:58:13,915
What'd you pull on
Mr. Baldwin this time?

1237
00:58:14,123 --> 00:58:16,023
- Who, me?
- You and that albino of yours.

1238
00:58:16,226 --> 00:58:18,854
- Evangeline's no albino.
- She'll do, till one comes along.

1239
00:58:19,062 --> 00:58:20,689
She was born in this country.

1240
00:58:20,897 --> 00:58:24,628
If she tries anything else,
she'll have to stay in this country.

1241
00:58:24,834 --> 00:58:28,270
- Did you bring that money?
- Oh, yeah, $400.

1242
00:58:28,471 --> 00:58:29,870
$450.

1243
00:58:30,306 --> 00:58:33,366
All right, you can't blame
a guy for trying.

1244
00:58:33,576 --> 00:58:35,203
- Give me a receipt.
- I'll give you a scar.

1245
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:36,639
You got plenty of them.

1246
00:58:36,846 --> 00:58:38,541
I'll take Mr. Baldwin's wallet too.

1247
00:58:38,748 --> 00:58:41,308
- Mr. Baldwin's what?
- His purse. Come on, Louie.

1248
00:58:41,518 --> 00:58:44,851
All right, Hildy. I'll do it for you
because I like you.

1249
00:58:45,054 --> 00:58:48,080
But tell your financier to be
more careful, know what I mean?

1250
00:58:48,291 --> 00:58:50,623
I'll loan him a pair of
your brass knuckles.

1251
00:58:50,827 --> 00:58:52,727
Don't talk that way.
I'll take that.

1252
00:58:52,929 --> 00:58:54,897
- I'll take it to the station.
- Wait a minute!

1253
00:58:55,098 --> 00:58:58,363
Take it to the 27th Precinct
and tell the cops how this happened.

1254
00:58:58,568 --> 00:59:00,798
I couldn't do that.
Burns would turn me in.

1255
00:59:01,004 --> 00:59:02,733
- Not a bad idea.
- Here, catch!

1256
00:59:02,939 --> 00:59:04,065
Louie!

1257
00:59:13,149 --> 00:59:15,845
Hello, operator. Hildy Johnson.
Will you get me...

1258
00:59:16,052 --> 00:59:17,713
Drop that phone!

1259
00:59:17,921 --> 00:59:19,183
Never mind.

1260
00:59:20,123 --> 00:59:21,954
You won't tell anybody where I am.

1261
00:59:26,095 --> 00:59:28,325
Put that gun down, Earl.

1262
00:59:30,133 --> 00:59:32,761
You don't want to shoot me.
I'm your friend, remember?

1263
00:59:32,969 --> 00:59:35,699
I'm writing the story on you
of production for use.

1264
00:59:35,905 --> 00:59:39,500
- That's right. Production for use.
- You don't want to hurt your...

1265
00:59:39,709 --> 00:59:42,177
Don't move!
Maybe you're my friend, maybe not.

1266
00:59:42,612 --> 00:59:43,874
But don't come nearer.

1267
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,742
You can't trust anybody
in this crazy world.

1268
00:59:46,950 --> 00:59:50,078
I don't blame you.
I wouldn't trust anybody either.

1269
00:59:50,286 --> 00:59:52,982
Don't do that.
Put it back. Put it back.

1270
00:59:53,189 --> 00:59:57,091
If you try any tricks, I'll shoot you.
I can do it right from here.

1271
00:59:58,127 --> 01:00:00,891
Sure you could, Earl.
But you don't want to do that.

1272
01:00:01,097 --> 01:00:02,564
You don't want to kill anybody.

1273
01:00:03,032 --> 01:00:05,967
No, you're right.
I don't want to kill anybody.

1274
01:00:06,169 --> 01:00:09,434
- That's what I thought.
- Wait a minute. Where are you going?

1275
01:00:09,639 --> 01:00:11,766
I was going to close the door
so nobody'd see you.

1276
01:00:11,975 --> 01:00:13,909
No, you weren't.
You were going to get somebody.

1277
01:00:14,110 --> 01:00:16,476
But I don't want that.
All I want is to be left alone.

1278
01:00:16,679 --> 01:00:18,112
- I won't get anybody.
- You will.

1279
01:00:18,314 --> 01:00:21,613
You'll get them after me again.
I won't let you do that. I won't...

1280
01:00:24,454 --> 01:00:26,752
- Give me that.
- I guess I fired all the shells.

1281
01:00:27,457 --> 01:00:30,824
- I'm awful tired.
- That shot. They'll know you're here.

1282
01:00:31,027 --> 01:00:32,221
I don't care.

1283
01:00:32,428 --> 01:00:36,194
I'm not afraid to die. I told the
guy that when he handed me the gun.

1284
01:00:36,399 --> 01:00:38,629
- Quiet!
- Waking me in the middle of the night.

1285
01:00:38,835 --> 01:00:40,598
Talking about things
they don't understand.

1286
01:00:40,803 --> 01:00:42,031
Shut up.

1287
01:00:42,238 --> 01:00:44,365
I wish they'd take me back
and hang me.

1288
01:00:44,574 --> 01:00:46,269
They will if you don't keep quiet.

1289
01:00:46,476 --> 01:00:48,307
I couldn't go through
another day like this.

1290
01:00:48,511 --> 01:00:49,671
You think I could?

1291
01:00:50,580 --> 01:00:53,743
Get me Walter Burns, quick.
Tell him I need him.

1292
01:00:57,053 --> 01:01:00,386
Bruce, I know I said I'd be down,
but something terrific has happened.

1293
01:01:00,590 --> 01:01:01,989
Walter, come right away.

1294
01:01:02,191 --> 01:01:03,556
Wait, Bruce, I'll explain.

1295
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,990
I've got Earl Williams here,
in the press room.

1296
01:01:06,195 --> 01:01:07,753
On the level.
Hurry, I need you!

1297
01:01:07,964 --> 01:01:10,990
Bruce, I've captured Earl Williams.
You know, the murderer.

1298
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,668
Stay there, Earl. Wait.
Bruce, I'll be down.

1299
01:01:13,870 --> 01:01:15,804
As soon as I hand him
to the paper.

1300
01:01:16,005 --> 01:01:18,496
Bruce, I can't.
Don't you realize...

1301
01:01:19,876 --> 01:01:23,243
- Who is it?
- Me, Mollie Malloy. Open the door!

1302
01:01:24,180 --> 01:01:26,580
- What do you want, Mollie?
- I got to find...

1303
01:01:26,783 --> 01:01:28,512
- Where is everybody?
- They've gone.

1304
01:01:28,718 --> 01:01:30,276
Please tell me where.

1305
01:01:30,486 --> 01:01:32,181
I don't know,
and I'm awfully busy.

1306
01:01:32,388 --> 01:01:35,084
They got him surrounded.
They'll shoot him down like a dog.

1307
01:01:35,291 --> 01:01:36,758
They're looking for you too.

1308
01:01:36,959 --> 01:01:39,450
I don't care. Tell me.
I ain't afraid of them.

1309
01:01:39,662 --> 01:01:42,426
All right, they're down at
Center Street and Fourth.

1310
01:01:42,632 --> 01:01:45,726
- Oh, that's where I used to...
- Mollie, Mollie, don't go.

1311
01:01:45,935 --> 01:01:48,335
Come in, Mollie. Draw up a chair.

1312
01:01:50,773 --> 01:01:52,673
- Hello.
- How did you get in here?

1313
01:01:52,875 --> 01:01:57,369
Down the pipe. I didn't mean to
shoot him. Really, I didn't.

1314
01:01:57,580 --> 01:01:59,639
- Be quiet.
- You believe me, don't you?

1315
01:01:59,849 --> 01:02:00,975
Sure, I believe you.

1316
01:02:01,184 --> 01:02:03,778
Thanks for the roses.
They were beautiful.

1317
01:02:03,986 --> 01:02:06,819
That's all right, Mr. Williams.

1318
01:02:08,391 --> 01:02:10,518
- Don't cry.
- Don't you get hysterical.

1319
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:12,126
I want to get him out.

1320
01:02:12,328 --> 01:02:15,161
- You wouldn't get down that hall.
- But they'll find him.

1321
01:02:15,364 --> 01:02:18,356
I know. I'm trying to think
before those reporters come back.

1322
01:02:18,568 --> 01:02:20,365
Let them take me.
What's the difference?

1323
01:02:20,570 --> 01:02:22,162
I'll never let them.

1324
01:02:23,039 --> 01:02:24,529
Who locked the door?

1325
01:02:25,775 --> 01:02:28,243
- Now it's too late.
- It isn't. Get in this desk.

1326
01:02:28,444 --> 01:02:30,571
- Oh, what's the use?
- Come on, get in.

1327
01:02:34,450 --> 01:02:36,179
We'll get you out in ten minutes.

1328
01:02:37,019 --> 01:02:40,147
Pull yourself together.
All right, here. Sit down.

1329
01:02:41,224 --> 01:02:44,022
All right, all right,
I'm coming!

1330
01:02:45,695 --> 01:02:49,153
- Don't kick the building down.
- We got phone calls to make.

1331
01:02:49,365 --> 01:02:51,060
What's she doing up here?

1332
01:02:51,267 --> 01:02:52,564
What's the matter?

1333
01:02:52,769 --> 01:02:54,703
Came up here and had hysterics.

1334
01:02:54,904 --> 01:02:56,838
- How do you feel, kid?
- Not so good.

1335
01:02:57,039 --> 01:02:58,267
Get you some water?

1336
01:02:58,474 --> 01:03:00,908
- Do anything for you?
- You don't look so sick.

1337
01:03:01,110 --> 01:03:03,237
- Did you bump into Williams?
- Funny!

1338
01:03:03,446 --> 01:03:05,175
- Where is he?
- Let me alone.

1339
01:03:05,381 --> 01:03:07,849
- Okay. Give me the desk.
- No harm in asking.

1340
01:03:08,050 --> 01:03:11,645
Hello, Jim. Yes, false alarm.
They surrounded the house, all right...

1341
01:03:11,854 --> 01:03:13,481
...but Williams wasn't there.

1342
01:03:13,689 --> 01:03:16,249
The Halloween outside has the
police standing on its ear.

1343
01:03:16,459 --> 01:03:18,950
- I thought you were gone.
- I'm waiting for money from Walter.

1344
01:03:19,162 --> 01:03:21,027
What a chase! Give me Emil.

1345
01:03:21,230 --> 01:03:23,323
- Give me the desk.
- Any news, boys?

1346
01:03:23,533 --> 01:03:25,763
Yeah, I never been
so tired in my life.

1347
01:03:25,968 --> 01:03:27,367
What? Where?
Melrose Station?

1348
01:03:27,570 --> 01:03:29,800
All right, connect me.
Hello, Mollie. How are you?

1349
01:03:30,006 --> 01:03:31,974
Hold it a minute.
This looks good.

1350
01:03:32,175 --> 01:03:35,269
An old lady claims Williams
is hiding under her piazza.

1351
01:03:35,478 --> 01:03:37,002
Tell her to stand up.

1352
01:03:37,380 --> 01:03:39,905
- You want to go out on it?
- I'll cover this end.

1353
01:03:40,116 --> 01:03:43,381
- I spent $1.40 on taxicabs already.
- No more going out.

1354
01:03:43,586 --> 01:03:45,918
- Never mind, Sarge.
- Who pulled the shades down?

1355
01:03:46,122 --> 01:03:47,953
They were throwing
those lights around.

1356
01:03:54,697 --> 01:03:56,790
You know, I've got
a hunch Williams...

1357
01:03:56,999 --> 01:03:58,990
...ain't anywhere they've been
looking for him.

1358
01:03:59,202 --> 01:04:00,931
He might be here in this building.

1359
01:04:01,137 --> 01:04:04,368
Sure, sure, hanging around
like a duck in a shooting gallery.

1360
01:04:04,574 --> 01:04:07,008
From the skylight, but
how did he reach the ground?

1361
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:11,203
- I'm pretending there ain't any Earl.
- He could have jumped to this roof.

1362
01:04:11,414 --> 01:04:13,780
From the roof he could slide
down the drainpipe.

1363
01:04:13,983 --> 01:04:15,746
And come in any of these windows.

1364
01:04:15,952 --> 01:04:17,613
If the story walks in the window...

1365
01:04:17,820 --> 01:04:21,415
Masterminds. Why don't you go home?
Maybe Williams will call on you.

1366
01:04:21,691 --> 01:04:23,659
It'd be funny if he was
in this building.

1367
01:04:23,860 --> 01:04:25,555
Why not search the building?

1368
01:04:25,761 --> 01:04:29,060
- I am not wandering all over.
- A great bunch of reporters you are.

1369
01:04:29,265 --> 01:04:31,426
Too lazy to go after
the biggest story in years.

1370
01:04:31,634 --> 01:04:34,125
You seem pretty anxious
to get rid of us.

1371
01:04:34,337 --> 01:04:36,931
- Are you trying to scoop us?
- Are you crazy? On my time?

1372
01:04:37,139 --> 01:04:41,166
Maybe Mollie's been giving her
the truth on how Williams got the gun.

1373
01:04:41,377 --> 01:04:42,401
I didn't do nothing.

1374
01:04:42,612 --> 01:04:44,637
- Come clean.
- Let the girl alone. She's...

1375
01:04:44,847 --> 01:04:46,075
Well?

1376
01:04:46,282 --> 01:04:47,772
Mrs. Baldwin. Mother.

1377
01:04:47,984 --> 01:04:51,818
Don't "mother" me. Playing cat and
mouse and keeping my boy locked up.

1378
01:04:52,021 --> 01:04:54,854
Making us miss two trains, and you
supposed to be married tomorrow.

1379
01:04:55,057 --> 01:04:58,549
- I'll be with you in five minutes...
- Just give me Bruce's money.

1380
01:04:58,761 --> 01:05:02,219
You can stay here forever,
you and that murderer you caught.

1381
01:05:02,431 --> 01:05:04,626
- Murderer?
- Which one of these men is it?

1382
01:05:04,834 --> 01:05:07,598
- They all look like murderers.
- What murderer did you catch?

1383
01:05:07,803 --> 01:05:09,703
I never said any such thing.

1384
01:05:09,906 --> 01:05:12,466
I'm quoting my son.
He has never lied to me.

1385
01:05:12,675 --> 01:05:13,675
Somebody's lying.

1386
01:05:13,876 --> 01:05:16,276
- I never said anything like that.
- Yes, you did.

1387
01:05:16,479 --> 01:05:18,913
I said I was trying
to find the murderer.

1388
01:05:19,115 --> 01:05:21,106
- Quit stalling.
- She's got it balled up.

1389
01:05:21,317 --> 01:05:22,909
Who are you holding out on?

1390
01:05:23,119 --> 01:05:24,950
Nobody. Now let me go, will you?

1391
01:05:25,388 --> 01:05:26,912
Stop it, stop it!

1392
01:05:27,123 --> 01:05:31,116
She don't know where he is.
I'm the only one that knows.

1393
01:05:31,327 --> 01:05:32,817
- Where's Williams?
- Try and find out.

1394
01:05:33,029 --> 01:05:35,623
- Come on, talk.
- Now you want me to talk?

1395
01:05:35,831 --> 01:05:37,458
- Talk.
- Ain't that funny?

1396
01:05:37,667 --> 01:05:41,068
You wouldn't listen to me before,
and now you want me to talk.

1397
01:05:41,270 --> 01:05:42,270
Don't say anything.

1398
01:05:42,438 --> 01:05:44,201
- I know what I'm doing.
- Stay out of this.

1399
01:05:44,407 --> 01:05:46,705
- Why didn't you listen to me?
- Cut that out.

1400
01:05:46,909 --> 01:05:48,433
- Hands off!
- Where is he?

1401
01:05:48,644 --> 01:05:52,136
Why do you want to know? So you can
write more lies to sell papers?

1402
01:05:52,348 --> 01:05:56,148
- Never mind that.
- All right. I'll give you a story.

1403
01:05:56,352 --> 01:05:57,410
A wonderful story!

1404
01:05:57,620 --> 01:06:01,351
Only this time it'll be true.
You'll never find me now!

1405
01:06:01,757 --> 01:06:03,520
Get the ambulance, somebody!

1406
01:06:03,726 --> 01:06:05,455
Get an ambulance, somebody!

1407
01:06:09,131 --> 01:06:12,362
- She's dead.
- No, she isn't killed, she's moving!

1408
01:06:16,772 --> 01:06:19,798
- Did you see that? She jumped.
- I know that.

1409
01:06:20,009 --> 01:06:21,408
Where have you got Williams?

1410
01:06:21,610 --> 01:06:23,635
Hidden. He's in the desk.

1411
01:06:23,846 --> 01:06:25,143
She didn't kill herself.

1412
01:06:25,348 --> 01:06:26,838
- How're you doing?
- Let me out.

1413
01:06:27,049 --> 01:06:28,676
Quiet. You're sitting pretty.

1414
01:06:28,884 --> 01:06:30,613
- What's in there?
- Who are you?

1415
01:06:30,820 --> 01:06:32,913
- This is Bruce's mother.
- What are you doing?

1416
01:06:33,122 --> 01:06:35,181
- Shut up!
- You're doing something wrong.

1417
01:06:35,391 --> 01:06:37,382
- Mother, please.
- Take her out of here.

1418
01:06:37,593 --> 01:06:41,529
- Take the lady to Polack Mike's.
- My name's Louie Peluso.

1419
01:06:43,299 --> 01:06:45,460
See that she doesn't talk to anyone.

1420
01:06:45,668 --> 01:06:47,295
Tell them it's a case of D.T.'s.

1421
01:06:47,503 --> 01:06:49,471
Don't worry, Mother.
It's only temporary.

1422
01:06:49,972 --> 01:06:51,735
Let go of me.

1423
01:06:52,375 --> 01:06:55,105
- Where are you going?
- To get Bruce out of jail.

1424
01:06:55,311 --> 01:06:58,940
- Why did you do this to me?
- Get Bruce out of jail?

1425
01:06:59,148 --> 01:07:02,481
How can you worry about a man
who's resting in a police station?

1426
01:07:02,685 --> 01:07:05,711
- This is war! You can't desert me.
- Get off that trapeze.

1427
01:07:05,921 --> 01:07:07,320
You've got your story.

1428
01:07:07,523 --> 01:07:10,287
<i>"Earl Williams captured
by the Morning Post".</i>

1429
01:07:10,493 --> 01:07:13,018
I covered your story for you,
now I'm getting out.

1430
01:07:13,229 --> 01:07:17,825
You drooling idiot, there are 365 days
in a year one can get married.

1431
01:07:18,034 --> 01:07:20,969
How many times you got a murderer
locked up in a desk?

1432
01:07:21,170 --> 01:07:23,536
You got the whole city
by the seat of the pants.

1433
01:07:23,739 --> 01:07:25,798
You've got the brain of a pancake.

1434
01:07:26,008 --> 01:07:28,533
This isn't just a story.
It's a revolution.

1435
01:07:28,744 --> 01:07:31,611
The greatest yarn since
Livingston discovered Stanley.

1436
01:07:31,814 --> 01:07:35,477
- The other way around.
- Don't get technical at such a time.

1437
01:07:35,684 --> 01:07:38,585
You've taken a city that's been
graft-ridden for 40 years...

1438
01:07:38,788 --> 01:07:41,882
...and given us a chance to have
the same kind of government...

1439
01:07:42,091 --> 01:07:43,649
...New York has under La Guardia.

1440
01:07:43,859 --> 01:07:47,920
If I didn't have your best interest
at heart, I wouldn't argue with you.

1441
01:07:48,130 --> 01:07:51,896
You've done something big.
You've stepped up into a new class.

1442
01:07:52,101 --> 01:07:55,969
We'll make such monkeys of those
ward healers nobody'll vote for them.

1443
01:07:56,172 --> 01:07:58,037
- Expose them?
- We'll crucify that mob.

1444
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,232
We'll keep Williams under cover,
until we can break the story...

1445
01:08:01,444 --> 01:08:03,344
...then share the glory
with the governor.

1446
01:08:03,546 --> 01:08:06,140
- I get it, I get it.
- You'll kick over City Hall.

1447
01:08:06,348 --> 01:08:10,284
You got the mayor and Hartwell
backed up against the wall.

1448
01:08:10,486 --> 01:08:13,319
This isn't just a newspaper story.
It's a career!

1449
01:08:13,522 --> 01:08:16,719
And you bellyache about catching
the eight or nine o'clock train.

1450
01:08:16,926 --> 01:08:20,623
- But I never figured it that way.
- Because you're a doll-faced hick.

1451
01:08:20,830 --> 01:08:24,322
They'll be naming streets after you.
There'll be statues of you.

1452
01:08:24,533 --> 01:08:27,696
The movies will be after you.
There'll be a Hildy Johnson cigar.

1453
01:08:27,903 --> 01:08:31,202
I can see the billboards now:
"Light up with Hildy Johnson..."

1454
01:08:31,407 --> 01:08:33,204
- We got a lot to do.
- Now you're talking.

1455
01:08:33,409 --> 01:08:37,470
- We can't leave Williams here.
- We'll take him to my private office.

1456
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,740
- How are you going to take him?
- We'll carry the desk over.

1457
01:08:40,950 --> 01:08:42,542
It's crawling with cops outside.

1458
01:08:42,751 --> 01:08:44,946
We'll lower it out
the window with pulleys.

1459
01:08:45,154 --> 01:08:46,883
Start pounding out a lead!

1460
01:08:47,089 --> 01:08:51,048
- How much of this stuff do you want?
- All you the words you got.

1461
01:08:51,260 --> 01:08:54,593
- Can I call the mayor a bird of prey?
- Call him anything you like.

1462
01:08:54,797 --> 01:08:58,858
Give him the works. Hello, Duffy?
We got the biggest story in years.

1463
01:08:59,068 --> 01:09:02,435
<i>"Earl Williams captured by
the Morning Post. Exclusive!"</i>

1464
01:09:02,638 --> 01:09:04,367
Tear out the whole front page.

1465
01:09:04,573 --> 01:09:07,667
The whole front page. Out!
And never mind the European war.

1466
01:09:07,877 --> 01:09:11,506
We got something bigger than that.
Hildy Johnson's writing the lead.

1467
01:09:11,714 --> 01:09:13,614
And get hold of Butch O'Connor.

1468
01:09:13,816 --> 01:09:16,046
Tell him to come up here
with his wrestlers.

1469
01:09:16,252 --> 01:09:17,344
Yeah, Butch O'Connor.

1470
01:09:17,553 --> 01:09:19,487
What? I've got a desk
I want moved...

1471
01:09:19,688 --> 01:09:21,053
What the deuce do you want?

1472
01:09:21,257 --> 01:09:22,417
- Hello, Bruce.
- Hildy.

1473
01:09:22,625 --> 01:09:24,923
Never mind the Chinese earthquake.

1474
01:09:25,127 --> 01:09:27,618
- I just want to ask you...
- How'd you get out of jail?

1475
01:09:27,830 --> 01:09:29,559
Not through any help of yours.

1476
01:09:29,765 --> 01:09:30,959
I'm not talking to you.

1477
01:09:31,167 --> 01:09:35,365
I had to wire Albany for $100
so I could get out on bail.

1478
01:09:35,938 --> 01:09:39,271
What will they think in Albany?
The money went to the police station.

1479
01:09:39,475 --> 01:09:42,842
- We're waiting for that story.
- We'll explain everything to them.

1480
01:09:43,045 --> 01:09:44,808
- Where's mother?
- She left.

1481
01:09:45,014 --> 01:09:46,014
I can't hear you.

1482
01:09:46,182 --> 01:09:47,672
- Where'd she go?
- Out someplace.

1483
01:09:47,883 --> 01:09:51,080
- Junk the Polish Corridor!
- Tell me where my mother was going.

1484
01:09:51,287 --> 01:09:53,414
- She couldn't say.
- This is more important.

1485
01:09:53,622 --> 01:09:55,954
- Did she get the money?
- She left in a hurry.

1486
01:09:56,158 --> 01:09:57,819
- I'll take that money.
- In my purse.

1487
01:09:58,027 --> 01:10:01,155
I can handle things.
I'll take that certified check too.

1488
01:10:01,363 --> 01:10:04,799
I'll give you the tickets.
You'll find your money in the wallet.

1489
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,264
My wallet? This is my wallet.

1490
01:10:07,469 --> 01:10:10,370
Say, there's something funny going on...
What are you doing?

1491
01:10:10,573 --> 01:10:12,473
Just wanted to look at it.

1492
01:10:12,675 --> 01:10:14,370
Hildy, I'm taking...

1493
01:10:15,077 --> 01:10:17,807
- I'm taking the 9 o'clock train.
- Sure, sure.

1494
01:10:18,013 --> 01:10:21,346
Did you hear what I said?
I said I am taking the 9 o'clock...

1495
01:10:21,550 --> 01:10:23,381
Oh, Bruce, I put it in here!

1496
01:10:25,421 --> 01:10:27,321
Let her alone, will you, buddy.

1497
01:10:27,523 --> 01:10:30,048
- Do me a favor...
- Just answer one question.

1498
01:10:30,259 --> 01:10:32,227
You don't want to come
with me, do you?

1499
01:10:32,428 --> 01:10:33,827
Answer me.
You don't, do you?

1500
01:10:34,029 --> 01:10:36,623
No. Take the Miss America
pictures off page six.

1501
01:10:36,832 --> 01:10:38,732
Hildy, tell me.
Tell me the truth.

1502
01:10:38,934 --> 01:10:41,869
Wait a minute.
Now look here, my good man...

1503
01:10:42,071 --> 01:10:43,732
You shut up, Burns.

1504
01:10:43,939 --> 01:10:45,463
You're doing all this to her.

1505
01:10:45,674 --> 01:10:47,665
She wanted to get away from you.

1506
01:10:47,876 --> 01:10:49,901
But you caught her
and changed her mind...

1507
01:10:50,112 --> 01:10:52,672
Stick Hitler on the funny page.
Now let me ask you...

1508
01:10:52,881 --> 01:10:55,406
Will you give up everything
for a man like him?

1509
01:10:55,618 --> 01:10:58,086
No, but something's happened.
I'll tell you...

1510
01:10:58,287 --> 01:11:00,312
Tell him nothing.
He's a spy, you fool.

1511
01:11:00,522 --> 01:11:01,853
- I am not a spy.
- Ridiculous.

1512
01:11:02,057 --> 01:11:03,684
You're coming with me right now.

1513
01:11:03,892 --> 01:11:06,554
Just a second. This is the
biggest thing in my life.

1514
01:11:06,762 --> 01:11:09,629
I see. I'll keep.
I'm like something in the icebox.

1515
01:11:09,832 --> 01:11:11,390
You just don't love me.

1516
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:15,297
That isn't true. Just because you
won't listen you say I don't love you.

1517
01:11:15,504 --> 01:11:18,473
You never intended to be decent
and live like a human being.

1518
01:11:18,674 --> 01:11:21,438
All right, if that's what
you want to think.

1519
01:11:21,644 --> 01:11:23,271
I'm trying to concentrate.

1520
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,710
- You're just like him and all the rest.
- Sure. That's what I am.

1521
01:11:26,915 --> 01:11:30,112
What? Leave the rooster story alone.
That's human interest.

1522
01:11:30,653 --> 01:11:32,712
If you had any sympathy
or understanding...

1523
01:11:32,921 --> 01:11:34,889
- I understand, all right...
- Wait a minute.

1524
01:11:35,090 --> 01:11:39,117
There's one question I want to know.
The mayor's first wife's name.

1525
01:11:39,328 --> 01:11:41,888
The one with the wart on her? Fanny.
What, Duffy?

1526
01:11:42,097 --> 01:11:43,689
You never loved me at all.

1527
01:11:43,899 --> 01:11:46,094
Never mind.
You don't work for advertising.

1528
01:11:46,302 --> 01:11:49,100
If you change your mind,
I'm on the 9 o'clock train.

1529
01:11:49,305 --> 01:11:52,274
If you want me, take me as I am.
Don't try to change me.

1530
01:11:52,474 --> 01:11:55,034
I'm no suburban bridge player.
I'm a newspaperman.

1531
01:11:55,244 --> 01:11:57,508
That's it. Keep it coming
as fast as you can.

1532
01:11:57,713 --> 01:11:59,977
Get back in there, you mock turtle.

1533
01:12:02,484 --> 01:12:04,975
You tell Butch it's a matter
of life and death?

1534
01:12:05,187 --> 01:12:08,486
Good. Butch's on his way. We just
have to hold out for 15 minutes.

1535
01:12:08,691 --> 01:12:11,751
- The boys will be back to phone.
- I'll handle them.

1536
01:12:13,262 --> 01:12:15,753
God, now the moon's out.

1537
01:12:19,935 --> 01:12:22,733
Fine. Three taps is me.
Don't forget. Got enough air?

1538
01:12:22,938 --> 01:12:25,964
- Not very much.
- That better? You're sitting pretty.

1539
01:12:26,508 --> 01:12:28,772
- How's it coming?
- All right. Where's Bruce?

1540
01:12:28,977 --> 01:12:30,877
- He went out.
- Is he coming back here?

1541
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:33,913
Certainly. Didn't you hear him?
What have you got so far?

1542
01:12:34,116 --> 01:12:37,950
"While Hartwell's paid gunmen stalked
the city, shooting bystanders...

1543
01:12:38,153 --> 01:12:40,121
...spreading terror,
Williams was lurking..."

1544
01:12:40,322 --> 01:12:42,984
<i>Wait a minute.
Aren't you going to mention the Post?</i>

1545
01:12:43,192 --> 01:12:45,888
- I did. Second paragraph.
- Who reads the second paragraph?

1546
01:12:46,095 --> 01:12:48,529
How long have I been
telling you how to write a story?

1547
01:12:48,731 --> 01:12:49,731
I'm sorry.

1548
01:12:53,502 --> 01:12:55,663
What's the idea of locking this door?

1549
01:12:55,871 --> 01:12:57,896
- Who's that?
- Bensinger. That's his desk.

1550
01:12:58,107 --> 01:13:00,632
Open the door, will you?

1551
01:13:00,843 --> 01:13:02,936
<i>- What's his name?
- Bensinger, of the Tribune.</i>

1552
01:13:03,145 --> 01:13:04,772
<i>- The Tribune?
- Who's in there?</i>

1553
01:13:06,782 --> 01:13:08,340
Haven't you any better sense...?

1554
01:13:08,550 --> 01:13:12,486
Hello. Hello, Mr. Burns. Quite
an honor having you come over here.

1555
01:13:12,688 --> 01:13:16,624
- Hello, Bensinger.
- You know my... I just want to get my...

1556
01:13:16,825 --> 01:13:19,851
It's quite a coincidence
seeing you tonight, isn't it?

1557
01:13:20,062 --> 01:13:21,062
How do you mean?

1558
01:13:21,163 --> 01:13:24,030
I was talking to our Mr. Duffy
about you this afternoon.

1559
01:13:24,233 --> 01:13:26,201
Really? Nothing detrimental, I hope.

1560
01:13:26,402 --> 01:13:28,370
On the contrary. On the contrary.

1561
01:13:28,570 --> 01:13:31,368
That was one swell story
you had in the paper this morning.

1562
01:13:31,573 --> 01:13:33,632
Did you care for the
poem, Mr. Burns?

1563
01:13:33,842 --> 01:13:35,833
The poem? The poem was great.

1564
01:13:36,044 --> 01:13:37,443
I liked the ending especially.

1565
01:13:37,646 --> 01:13:39,341
"And all is well outside his cell...

1566
01:13:39,548 --> 01:13:41,778
...but in his heart he hears
the hangman calling...

1567
01:13:41,984 --> 01:13:42,984
...the gallows falling...

1568
01:13:43,185 --> 01:13:45,983
...and his white-haired
mother's tears".

1569
01:13:46,188 --> 01:13:47,587
- Heartbreaking?
- That's fine.

1570
01:13:47,790 --> 01:13:49,280
Would you like to work for me?

1571
01:13:49,491 --> 01:13:50,856
We can use a man like you.

1572
01:13:51,059 --> 01:13:53,254
All we got are lowbrows
like Johnson here.

1573
01:13:53,462 --> 01:13:56,295
- Are you serious, Mr. Burns?
- Serious? Wait a minute.

1574
01:13:56,498 --> 01:13:58,989
Duffy, I'm sending
Mr. Bunsinger over to see you.

1575
01:13:59,201 --> 01:14:00,566
- Bensinger.
- Mervyn, isn't it?

1576
01:14:00,769 --> 01:14:03,397
- Yeah... No. Roy. Roy V.
- Certainly.

1577
01:14:03,605 --> 01:14:05,573
Roy V. Bensinger, the poet.

1578
01:14:05,774 --> 01:14:09,676
You wouldn't know. You probably never
heard of Shakespeare either.

1579
01:14:11,213 --> 01:14:14,580
<i>Put Mr. Bensinger on staff.
How much you getting on the Tribune?</i>

1580
01:14:14,783 --> 01:14:16,751
- $75.
- I'll give you $100 and a byline.

1581
01:14:16,952 --> 01:14:20,080
Now you give him everything he wants,
you understand?

1582
01:14:20,289 --> 01:14:24,089
Roy, write me a story from the
point of view of the escaped man.

1583
01:14:24,293 --> 01:14:26,625
He hides, afraid of every sound,
every light.

1584
01:14:26,829 --> 01:14:29,320
He hears footsteps, they're closing in.

1585
01:14:29,531 --> 01:14:33,262
- Get the sense of the animal at bay.
- Sort of Jack London style?

1586
01:14:33,469 --> 01:14:36,563
- I'll get my rhyming dictionary.
- It doesn't have to rhyme.

1587
01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:38,933
I'm deeply grateful, Mr. Burns.

1588
01:14:40,576 --> 01:14:42,976
If there's an opening
for a war correspondent...

1589
01:14:43,178 --> 01:14:44,611
<i>...I parler a little French.</i>

1590
01:14:44,813 --> 01:14:47,281
<i>- I'll keep you in mind.
- Au revoir, mon capitain.</i>

1591
01:14:47,483 --> 01:14:48,575
<i>Bonjour.</i>

1592
01:14:52,354 --> 01:14:55,084
"His white-haired mother's tears".
That's the tops.

1593
01:14:55,290 --> 01:14:57,952
Listen, that fellow Bensinger
is on his way right now.

1594
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:00,594
Handle him with kid gloves.
Have him write poetry.

1595
01:15:00,796 --> 01:15:03,162
We don't want him.
Stall him until the extra's out.

1596
01:15:03,365 --> 01:15:05,458
Say his poetry smells
and kick him downstairs.

1597
01:15:05,667 --> 01:15:07,532
- Double-crosser.
- That'll teach him.

1598
01:15:07,736 --> 01:15:09,863
He won't quit his paper
without giving notice after this.

1599
01:15:10,072 --> 01:15:11,130
- I mean you.
- Me?

1600
01:15:11,340 --> 01:15:13,774
You'd double-cross anybody...
Wait a minute.

1601
01:15:13,976 --> 01:15:16,945
Bruce isn't coming back.
He said he was taking the 9:00 train.

1602
01:15:17,145 --> 01:15:18,635
In that case, he's gone by now.

1603
01:15:18,847 --> 01:15:21,975
Don't sit there like a frozen robin.
Get on with the story.

1604
01:15:22,184 --> 01:15:24,277
We ought to be finished
when Butch gets here.

1605
01:15:24,486 --> 01:15:28,081
How you have messed up my life.
What am I going to do?

1606
01:15:28,290 --> 01:15:30,554
Window's too small.
We'll carry the desk out.

1607
01:15:30,759 --> 01:15:33,990
I'd be on that train right now.
I'm a sap, falling for your line.

1608
01:15:34,196 --> 01:15:37,529
- They'll name streets after me...
- Yes, well, get back to work.

1609
01:15:37,733 --> 01:15:40,224
I'm not going back to work.
Walter, what...?

1610
01:15:41,436 --> 01:15:43,427
- Who is it?
- It's me, boss. It's Louie.

1611
01:15:43,639 --> 01:15:44,663
Louie.

1612
01:15:46,475 --> 01:15:48,409
- What's the matter?
- Where's Mrs. Baldwin?

1613
01:15:48,610 --> 01:15:49,736
What happened?

1614
01:15:49,945 --> 01:15:53,779
Down Western Avenue, we was going
65 miles an hour, know what I mean?

1615
01:15:53,982 --> 01:15:55,506
Where's the old lady?

1616
01:15:55,717 --> 01:15:58,345
We run smack into a police patrol.
Busted it in half.

1617
01:15:58,554 --> 01:15:59,748
Was she hurt?

1618
01:15:59,955 --> 01:16:02,981
Can you imagine bumping
into a load of cops?

1619
01:16:03,191 --> 01:16:06,092
- What did you do with her?
- Search me, when I come to...

1620
01:16:06,295 --> 01:16:08,422
You were with her.
You were in the cab.

1621
01:16:08,630 --> 01:16:11,292
- The driver got knocked cold.
- Butterfingers!

1622
01:16:11,500 --> 01:16:14,731
- You handed her over to the cops.
- What do you mean?

1623
01:16:14,937 --> 01:16:16,632
They was on the wrong
side of the street.

1624
01:16:16,838 --> 01:16:19,329
Fine. Now she's probably
squawking to the police.

1625
01:16:19,541 --> 01:16:21,600
She's not squawking much.
Know what I mean?

1626
01:16:21,810 --> 01:16:23,539
Don't tell me...
Was she killed?

1627
01:16:23,745 --> 01:16:25,076
Was she? Did you notice?

1628
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,181
Me with a gun on the hip and
a kidnapped lady on my hands...

1629
01:16:28,383 --> 01:16:30,442
...I'm going to ask questions
from cops?

1630
01:16:30,652 --> 01:16:34,110
- You know what I mean?
- Dead, dead. This is the end!

1631
01:16:34,756 --> 01:16:35,756
It's fate.

1632
01:16:35,824 --> 01:16:37,121
What will be will be.

1633
01:16:37,326 --> 01:16:39,123
What am I going to say to Bruce?

1634
01:16:39,328 --> 01:16:40,352
What can I tell him?

1635
01:16:40,562 --> 01:16:42,860
If he loves you, you won't
have to tell him anything.

1636
01:16:43,065 --> 01:16:46,398
Would you rather have had the old
dame drag the police in here?

1637
01:16:46,602 --> 01:16:48,797
I killed her. I'm responsible.

1638
01:16:49,004 --> 01:16:51,165
What am I going to do?
How can I ever face Bruce again?

1639
01:16:51,373 --> 01:16:54,103
- Look at me, Hildy.
- I am looking at you, you murderer.

1640
01:16:54,309 --> 01:16:56,573
If it was my own grandmother,
I'd carry on.

1641
01:16:56,778 --> 01:16:59,747
- You know I would, for the paper.
- Louie, where'd it happen?

1642
01:17:00,182 --> 01:17:01,581
Western and 34th.

1643
01:17:01,783 --> 01:17:05,014
- I got to get out of here...
- We can do more here. Be calm.

1644
01:17:05,220 --> 01:17:06,414
Listen...

1645
01:17:08,156 --> 01:17:10,886
- Hello, hello.
- Maine 4557.

1646
01:17:11,093 --> 01:17:13,288
Who? Butch, where are you?

1647
01:17:13,495 --> 01:17:15,156
Mission Hospital?
Receiving room.

1648
01:17:15,364 --> 01:17:16,991
What are you doing there?

1649
01:17:17,199 --> 01:17:19,064
Was an old lady brought in
from a smashup?

1650
01:17:19,267 --> 01:17:22,293
For H. Sebastian, Butch,
it's a matter of life and death.

1651
01:17:22,504 --> 01:17:24,438
- Nobody?
- I can't hear.

1652
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:28,269
- Morningside 2469.
- You got who? Speak up. A what?

1653
01:17:28,477 --> 01:17:30,741
You can't stop for a dame now!

1654
01:17:31,380 --> 01:17:34,349
I don't care if you've been after her.
Our lives are at stake!

1655
01:17:34,549 --> 01:17:36,710
Are you going to let a woman
come between us?

1656
01:17:36,918 --> 01:17:39,546
Was there an old lady brought in
in an auto smashup?

1657
01:17:39,755 --> 01:17:42,383
Butch, I'd put my arm in fire
for you up to here.

1658
01:17:42,591 --> 01:17:43,990
You can't double-cross me.

1659
01:17:44,192 --> 01:17:45,386
Look around, please.

1660
01:17:45,594 --> 01:17:47,687
All right, put her on.
I'll talk to her.

1661
01:17:47,896 --> 01:17:51,388
Good evening, madam. Now, listen,
you ten-cent glamour girl...

1662
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:54,068
...you can't keep Butch
from his duty. What's that?

1663
01:17:54,269 --> 01:17:56,931
You say that again,
I'll kick you in the teeth!

1664
01:17:57,139 --> 01:17:58,970
Say, what kind of language is that?

1665
01:17:59,174 --> 01:18:01,335
Now, look here, you...

1666
01:18:01,543 --> 01:18:03,738
She hung up. What did I say?

1667
01:18:04,946 --> 01:18:07,813
Duffy, how do you like that?
Mousing around with some big...

1668
01:18:08,016 --> 01:18:11,508
- Will you shut up? I'm trying to hear!
- Duffy! That's cooperation.

1669
01:18:12,854 --> 01:18:14,617
Well, where is Duffy?

1670
01:18:15,791 --> 01:18:18,988
Diabetes. I ought to know better than
to hire anybody with a disease.

1671
01:18:19,194 --> 01:18:21,458
Give me Olympia 2136, will you?

1672
01:18:21,663 --> 01:18:23,426
- Yes, boss.
- Louie, it's up to you.

1673
01:18:23,632 --> 01:18:26,226
- Anything you say, boss.
- Get a hold of some guys.

1674
01:18:26,435 --> 01:18:29,802
Anybody with hair on his chest,
get them off the street.

1675
01:18:30,005 --> 01:18:31,336
We got to get that desk out.

1676
01:18:31,540 --> 01:18:34,031
Is it important?
You're the best friend I got.

1677
01:18:34,242 --> 01:18:35,971
- I like you too.
- Then don't fail me.

1678
01:18:36,178 --> 01:18:38,203
Get enough people to move that desk.

1679
01:18:38,413 --> 01:18:40,074
You know me.
Shirt off my back.

1680
01:18:40,282 --> 01:18:42,250
Okay, don't bump into anything.

1681
01:18:42,584 --> 01:18:46,315
- Dumb immigrant is sure to flop on me.
- Try the hospital again.

1682
01:18:46,521 --> 01:18:48,716
If he's not back in five,
we'll carry it alone.

1683
01:18:48,924 --> 01:18:51,017
- Do anything you want.
- There's a million ways.

1684
01:18:51,226 --> 01:18:53,990
- We can have firemen take it out.
- I don't care what you do.

1685
01:18:54,196 --> 01:18:57,632
- Come here. See if we can lift it.
- What? Nobody? Never mind.

1686
01:18:57,833 --> 01:18:59,357
- Are you going to help me?
- No!

1687
01:18:59,568 --> 01:19:01,900
- I'll strain my back.
- I'll find Mrs. Baldwin.

1688
01:19:02,104 --> 01:19:04,129
- Don't open that door!
- I'll go to the morgue...

1689
01:19:04,339 --> 01:19:07,968
- We want to talk to you a minute.
- Let go. What's the idea?

1690
01:19:08,176 --> 01:19:09,302
Get your hands off me!

1691
01:19:09,511 --> 01:19:11,479
- Now look here, Johnson...
- Hey, you!

1692
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:12,680
You mean me?

1693
01:19:12,814 --> 01:19:16,773
Yes, you. What do you mean by
breaking in here like this?

1694
01:19:16,985 --> 01:19:19,545
Don't bluff me. I don't care
what paper you're editor of.

1695
01:19:19,755 --> 01:19:23,156
Let go of me. Something's
happened to my mother-in-law.

1696
01:19:23,358 --> 01:19:27,988
- We know what you are up to.
- She and Mollie were in here talking.

1697
01:19:28,196 --> 01:19:30,391
I don't know anything.
And there's been an accident.

1698
01:19:30,599 --> 01:19:33,090
There's something
very peculiar going on here.

1699
01:19:33,301 --> 01:19:35,292
- Now see here...
- Just a moment, Hartwell.

1700
01:19:35,504 --> 01:19:38,337
Make your accusations
in the proper manner.

1701
01:19:38,540 --> 01:19:40,599
Otherwise, I'll have to
ask you to get out.

1702
01:19:40,809 --> 01:19:41,809
Ask me to what?

1703
01:19:42,177 --> 01:19:43,667
Get out.

1704
01:19:43,879 --> 01:19:47,747
You will, eh? Don't let anybody
in or out. We'll see about this.

1705
01:19:47,949 --> 01:19:50,782
- Give him the third degree.
- Make them talk and you got Williams.

1706
01:19:50,986 --> 01:19:54,319
I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
Are you going to talk?

1707
01:19:54,523 --> 01:19:57,321
- What do you want me to say?
- What do you know about Williams?

1708
01:19:57,526 --> 01:19:59,460
There. Now we're getting some...

1709
01:19:59,661 --> 01:20:01,822
Take her away.
I got ways to make her talk.

1710
01:20:02,030 --> 01:20:03,588
Don't you dare touch me or...

1711
01:20:04,399 --> 01:20:05,730
- She got a gun!
- Grab it!

1712
01:20:05,934 --> 01:20:07,458
No, you don't. Walter!

1713
01:20:07,669 --> 01:20:10,137
All right, Burns.
I'll take that gun.

1714
01:20:11,740 --> 01:20:13,901
- Where did you get this?
- I can carry a gun.

1715
01:20:14,109 --> 01:20:15,872
- Not this gun.
- I can explain it.

1716
01:20:16,077 --> 01:20:20,070
She was interviewing Williams,
so I gave her a gun to defend herself.

1717
01:20:20,282 --> 01:20:24,218
Interesting. But this is the gun
that Williams shot his way out with.

1718
01:20:24,419 --> 01:20:26,819
My good man, are you trying
to make me out a liar?

1719
01:20:27,022 --> 01:20:29,354
I ought to know my own gun,
oughtn't I...?

1720
01:20:29,558 --> 01:20:31,822
- So that's where Williams got it.
- She got it from him.

1721
01:20:32,027 --> 01:20:33,027
Where's Williams?

1722
01:20:33,094 --> 01:20:35,255
- Where is he?
- You're barking up the wrong tree.

1723
01:20:35,463 --> 01:20:37,090
Tell me where he is.

1724
01:20:37,299 --> 01:20:39,665
At the hospital calling on
Professor Egelhoffer...

1725
01:20:39,868 --> 01:20:40,994
...with marshmallows.

1726
01:20:41,203 --> 01:20:44,195
- Where is he?
- Ask the mastermind why he's here.

1727
01:20:44,406 --> 01:20:45,873
What do you know about this?

1728
01:20:46,074 --> 01:20:47,701
My dear fellow...

1729
01:20:47,909 --> 01:20:50,810
<i>...the Morning Post doesn't obstruct
justice or hide criminals.</i>

1730
01:20:51,012 --> 01:20:53,412
- You ought to know that.
- You're under arrest.

1731
01:20:53,615 --> 01:20:55,310
- You too.
- Who's under arrest?

1732
01:20:55,517 --> 01:20:57,849
Listen, you square-toed,
pimple-headed spy...

1733
01:20:58,053 --> 01:21:00,112
...do you realize what you're doing?

1734
01:21:00,322 --> 01:21:01,414
I'll show you.

1735
01:21:01,623 --> 01:21:03,682
<i>You and the Post
are obstructing justice.</i>

1736
01:21:03,892 --> 01:21:05,860
I'll see that you're fined $10,000.

1737
01:21:06,061 --> 01:21:07,153
You'll see nothing.

1738
01:21:07,362 --> 01:21:09,523
<i>I'll begin by impounding
the Post's property.</i>

1739
01:21:09,731 --> 01:21:10,731
Is this your desk?

1740
01:21:10,932 --> 01:21:14,026
What are you afraid of, Hildy?
I dare you to move this desk.

1741
01:21:14,236 --> 01:21:15,931
- Go ahead, try it.
- I will.

1742
01:21:16,137 --> 01:21:19,470
I warn you, you move this desk
out of here, I'll put you behind bars.

1743
01:21:19,674 --> 01:21:22,234
- He can do it too.
- I'll see Roosevelt hears about it.

1744
01:21:22,444 --> 01:21:23,843
Tell him. Come on, boys!

1745
01:21:24,045 --> 01:21:26,036
- Confiscate this desk.
- This is your last chance.

1746
01:21:26,248 --> 01:21:28,079
This is a federal offense.

1747
01:21:28,283 --> 01:21:29,716
We'll take a chance.

1748
01:21:29,918 --> 01:21:31,010
All right.

1749
01:21:31,987 --> 01:21:33,545
Open up this door!

1750
01:21:34,923 --> 01:21:38,484
- Mother! I'm glad to see you...
- That's the man that did it. There.

1751
01:21:41,863 --> 01:21:44,855
- What's the idea here?
- She claims she's been kidnapped.

1752
01:21:45,066 --> 01:21:48,058
They dragged me down all the way
down the stairs and...

1753
01:21:48,270 --> 01:21:49,396
Did he do it?

1754
01:21:49,604 --> 01:21:52,300
He was in charge.
He told them to kidnap me.

1755
01:21:52,507 --> 01:21:55,101
Excuse me, madam.
Are you referring to me?

1756
01:21:55,310 --> 01:21:56,368
You know you did.

1757
01:21:56,578 --> 01:21:58,512
What about this? Kidnapping, huh?

1758
01:21:58,713 --> 01:22:01,944
Trying to frame me, huh?
I never saw her before in my life.

1759
01:22:02,150 --> 01:22:03,742
What a thing to say!

1760
01:22:03,952 --> 01:22:06,147
I was here when that girl
jumped out the window.

1761
01:22:06,354 --> 01:22:07,616
Get the mayor over here.

1762
01:22:07,822 --> 01:22:10,450
Look, madam, be honest.
If you were out joyriding...

1763
01:22:10,659 --> 01:22:13,787
...plastered, or got into a scrape,
why don't you admit it instead of...

1764
01:22:13,995 --> 01:22:15,326
...accusing innocent people?

1765
01:22:15,530 --> 01:22:18,192
You ruffian! How dare you talk
like that to me!

1766
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:19,526
He's just crazy, Mother.

1767
01:22:19,734 --> 01:22:22,669
I'll tell more.
I could tell you why they did it.

1768
01:22:22,871 --> 01:22:25,465
They were hiding some
kind of murderer in here...

1769
01:22:25,674 --> 01:22:27,073
Hiding him? In here?

1770
01:22:27,275 --> 01:22:29,971
Madam, you're a cockeyed liar...

1771
01:22:30,178 --> 01:22:31,975
...and you know it!

1772
01:22:33,114 --> 01:22:34,308
- What's that?
- He's in there!

1773
01:22:34,516 --> 01:22:36,211
- Give me the desk.
- What a break!

1774
01:22:36,418 --> 01:22:37,976
- Stand back.
- He might shoot.

1775
01:22:38,186 --> 01:22:39,278
- Guns out.
- He's harmless.

1776
01:22:39,487 --> 01:22:40,749
Don't take any chances.

1777
01:22:40,956 --> 01:22:42,821
He can't hurt anybody,
you've got his gun.

1778
01:22:43,024 --> 01:22:45,083
Go on, you gray-haired old weasel.

1779
01:22:45,293 --> 01:22:46,658
Let me out of here!

1780
01:22:47,062 --> 01:22:49,792
Mother! I was looking
all over for you. What happened?

1781
01:22:49,998 --> 01:22:50,998
Jake, hang on.

1782
01:22:51,199 --> 01:22:52,199
Hildy, call Duffy.

1783
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:54,027
- No!
- You want to see us scooped?

1784
01:22:54,402 --> 01:22:56,927
- Aim right for the center.
- That's murder.

1785
01:22:57,138 --> 01:22:59,163
Okay, one of you get
on each end of the desk.

1786
01:22:59,374 --> 01:23:00,671
- It's coming up.
- You're covered.

1787
01:23:00,875 --> 01:23:02,069
- In a minute.
- Don't move.

1788
01:23:02,277 --> 01:23:03,437
- Any time now.
- I'll count three.

1789
01:23:03,645 --> 01:23:04,645
It's hot.

1790
01:23:04,779 --> 01:23:05,779
Ready?

1791
01:23:05,814 --> 01:23:06,814
Any second now.

1792
01:23:06,948 --> 01:23:08,916
Three. I got you, Williams.

1793
01:23:09,117 --> 01:23:11,085
- Go ahead, shoot me.
- Come out.

1794
01:23:11,286 --> 01:23:14,449
Earl Williams was just captured
in the criminal courts building.

1795
01:23:14,656 --> 01:23:17,454
- On your feet.
- Don't try any funny stuff.

1796
01:23:17,659 --> 01:23:19,024
Williams was unconscious.

1797
01:23:19,227 --> 01:23:20,819
The police overpowered him.

1798
01:23:21,029 --> 01:23:24,192
- He offered no resistance.
- His gun wouldn't work.

1799
01:23:24,733 --> 01:23:27,065
<i>The Post turned Williams
over to the sheriff.</i>

1800
01:23:27,268 --> 01:23:29,031
- Put the cuffs on them.
- More later.

1801
01:23:29,237 --> 01:23:32,502
An anonymous note led to
Williams' capture. Hold on.

1802
01:23:33,408 --> 01:23:36,002
The sheriff's tracing a call
that gave away Williams' hiding place.

1803
01:23:36,211 --> 01:23:38,236
- Where's the old lady?
- She went out.

1804
01:23:38,446 --> 01:23:39,674
Call you back.

1805
01:23:49,491 --> 01:23:52,790
- Give me the warden's office.
- You'll wish you'd never been born.

1806
01:23:52,994 --> 01:23:54,393
Will I?

1807
01:23:54,596 --> 01:23:56,962
- Hello, Fred.
- Well, fine work, Pete.

1808
01:23:57,165 --> 01:23:59,599
- You delivered the goods.
- Looks natural, don't it?

1809
01:23:59,801 --> 01:24:01,792
- Sight for sore eyes.
- Aiding a criminal.

1810
01:24:02,003 --> 01:24:04,528
And a little charge of kidnapping...
What's that?

1811
01:24:04,739 --> 01:24:05,967
But that's the jail.

1812
01:24:06,174 --> 01:24:09,439
Looks like about ten years apiece
for you two birds.

1813
01:24:09,644 --> 01:24:12,477
<i>When you think you've licked the Post,
it's time to get out.</i>

1814
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:15,342
Whistling in the dark won't help.
You're through.

1815
01:24:15,550 --> 01:24:19,111
Archie Leach said that to me
a week before he cut his throat.

1816
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:20,320
Is that so?

1817
01:24:20,455 --> 01:24:23,515
We've been in worse jams than this,
haven't we, Hildy?

1818
01:24:23,725 --> 01:24:26,319
<i>You forget the power
that watches over the Post.</i>

1819
01:24:26,528 --> 01:24:28,962
- It's not with you now.
- Says you.

1820
01:24:29,164 --> 01:24:31,155
I've caught him. Yes, Williams.

1821
01:24:31,366 --> 01:24:33,834
Single-handed.
Proceed to the hanging, per schedule.

1822
01:24:34,035 --> 01:24:35,935
You'll be in office exactly
two days more.

1823
01:24:36,137 --> 01:24:38,105
We'll pull your nose
out of that feedbag.

1824
01:24:38,306 --> 01:24:42,743
I tell you what you'll be doing.
Making brooms in the penitentiary.

1825
01:24:42,944 --> 01:24:44,241
Joe? This is Hartwell.

1826
01:24:44,446 --> 01:24:46,038
Come to my office right away.

1827
01:24:46,247 --> 01:24:49,182
I captured a couple of important birds.
Take their confessions.

1828
01:24:49,384 --> 01:24:50,476
Get Liebowitz.

1829
01:24:50,685 --> 01:24:52,949
The lawyers won't help you now.

1830
01:24:53,355 --> 01:24:54,922
<i>You're talking to the Morning Post.</i>

1831
01:24:55,123 --> 01:24:57,148
The power of the press?

1832
01:24:57,625 --> 01:25:00,719
Bigger men than you have found out
what the power of the press is.

1833
01:25:00,929 --> 01:25:02,226
Presidents, kings...

1834
01:25:02,430 --> 01:25:04,694
- Here's the reprieve.
- Get out.

1835
01:25:04,899 --> 01:25:07,595
- You can't bribe me. My wife...
- Get out.

1836
01:25:07,802 --> 01:25:10,635
- No, I won't. Here's the reprieve.
- What?

1837
01:25:10,839 --> 01:25:12,807
I don't want to be a city sealer.

1838
01:25:13,007 --> 01:25:14,531
- Throw him out.
- Out you go.

1839
01:25:14,742 --> 01:25:16,573
Wait.
Who's trying to bribe you?

1840
01:25:16,778 --> 01:25:18,177
- They wouldn't take it.
- Insane!

1841
01:25:18,379 --> 01:25:20,370
What did I say? An unseen power.

1842
01:25:20,582 --> 01:25:22,948
What do you mean with a story like that?

1843
01:25:23,151 --> 01:25:24,482
He's an imposter.

1844
01:25:24,686 --> 01:25:27,450
Trying to hang an innocent man
to win an election, eh?

1845
01:25:27,655 --> 01:25:28,655
That's murder.

1846
01:25:28,723 --> 01:25:30,657
- I never saw him before.
- Lf I was to...

1847
01:25:30,859 --> 01:25:32,724
- What's your name?
- Pettibone.

1848
01:25:32,927 --> 01:25:35,452
- When did you deliver this first?
- Who'd you talk to?

1849
01:25:35,663 --> 01:25:37,324
- They started to bribe me.
- They?

1850
01:25:37,532 --> 01:25:39,796
- Those. Them.
- It's absurd on the face of it.

1851
01:25:40,001 --> 01:25:41,366
He's talking like a child.

1852
01:25:41,569 --> 01:25:43,901
- Out of the mouths of babes.
- Hi, babe.

1853
01:25:44,105 --> 01:25:45,299
He's insane or drunk.

1854
01:25:45,507 --> 01:25:49,841
If Williams has been reprieved,
I'm tickled to death. Aren't you?

1855
01:25:50,044 --> 01:25:51,875
You'd hang your mother
to be reelected.

1856
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,344
That's a horrible thing to say
about anybody.

1857
01:25:54,549 --> 01:25:56,813
You're marvelous.
Take a look at that.

1858
01:25:57,018 --> 01:25:58,952
- You're an intelligent man.
- Never mind.

1859
01:25:59,154 --> 01:26:01,247
Let's have your story.

1860
01:26:01,456 --> 01:26:04,016
- Nineteen years ago, I married Mrs...
- Skip all that.

1861
01:26:04,225 --> 01:26:07,251
She wasn't Mrs. Pettibone then.
She was one of the...

1862
01:26:07,462 --> 01:26:10,989
This document is authentic.
Williams has been reprieved.

1863
01:26:11,199 --> 01:26:14,498
Our commonwealth has been saved
the necessity of shedding blood.

1864
01:26:14,702 --> 01:26:17,762
<i>Get off the soapbox.
Save that for the Tribune.</i>

1865
01:26:17,972 --> 01:26:19,837
Take those handcuffs off my friends.

1866
01:26:20,041 --> 01:26:22,236
- I'm amazed at you.
- Isn't he awful?

1867
01:26:22,443 --> 01:26:24,809
You don't know how badly I feel.

1868
01:26:25,013 --> 01:26:26,844
No excuse at all for Pete.

1869
01:26:27,048 --> 01:26:29,278
- I was only doing my duty.
- That's all right.

1870
01:26:29,484 --> 01:26:32,112
- What'd you say your name was?
- Pettibone.

1871
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:34,345
- Here's a picture of my wife.
- Fine-looking woman.

1872
01:26:34,556 --> 01:26:36,456
- You haven't seen her yet.
- She's all right.

1873
01:26:36,658 --> 01:26:39,525
She's good enough for me.
If I was to tell...

1874
01:26:39,727 --> 01:26:43,322
I understand perfectly, and
as long as I am mayor...

1875
01:26:43,531 --> 01:26:45,294
Which ought to be about
Three more hours.

1876
01:26:45,500 --> 01:26:48,230
Enough to get out a special edition
asking for your recall.

1877
01:26:48,436 --> 01:26:52,133
And your arrest. You boys
ought to get about ten years apiece.

1878
01:26:52,340 --> 01:26:56,299
Don't make any hasty decisions.
You might run into a libel suit.

1879
01:26:56,511 --> 01:26:57,978
You'll run into the governor.

1880
01:26:58,279 --> 01:27:00,907
We understand each other perfectly.

1881
01:27:01,182 --> 01:27:02,809
Yes, and so do I.

1882
01:27:03,017 --> 01:27:05,781
So do you what?
And now, Mr. Pettibone...

1883
01:27:05,987 --> 01:27:09,582
...we'll deliver this reprieve
to the warden's office. Come along.

1884
01:27:09,791 --> 01:27:12,760
- Lf I was to tell my wife...
- You won't have to.

1885
01:27:14,829 --> 01:27:17,093
<i>Wait till they read
the Morning Post tomorrow.</i>

1886
01:27:17,298 --> 01:27:18,298
Tight squeeze.

1887
01:27:18,399 --> 01:27:20,731
- Give me Duffy.
- That's the worst jam.

1888
01:27:20,935 --> 01:27:22,368
What? Where? Get him.

1889
01:27:22,570 --> 01:27:25,664
Remember stealing Old Lady Haggerty's
stomach off the coroner?

1890
01:27:25,873 --> 01:27:28,171
Anytime you need this guy
he's never there.

1891
01:27:28,376 --> 01:27:30,640
We proved she'd been poisoned,
didn't we?

1892
01:27:30,845 --> 01:27:32,437
We had to hide out for a week.

1893
01:27:32,647 --> 01:27:33,807
Do you remember that?

1894
01:27:34,015 --> 01:27:37,246
The Shoreland Hotel.
That's how we happened to...

1895
01:27:37,452 --> 01:27:39,545
We could have gone
to jail for that too.

1896
01:27:39,754 --> 01:27:42,689
Yes, maybe you're right, Hildy.
It's a bad business.

1897
01:27:42,890 --> 01:27:44,414
You'll be better off.

1898
01:27:44,626 --> 01:27:45,957
You better get going.

1899
01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:48,685
- Where would I go?
- To Bruce, of course.

1900
01:27:48,896 --> 01:27:51,592
- You know he's gone. He took a train.
- Send a wire.

1901
01:27:51,799 --> 01:27:54,666
He'll be waiting at the station
when you get into Albany.

1902
01:27:54,869 --> 01:27:58,498
- Why doesn't he have a phone?
- I don't know. I got us messed up...

1903
01:27:58,706 --> 01:28:02,164
- Get going, Hildy.
- What is that with you?

1904
01:28:02,377 --> 01:28:05,002
Wait a minute.
Can't you understand?

1905
01:28:05,213 --> 01:28:08,774
I'm trying to do something noble.
Get out before I change my mind.

1906
01:28:08,983 --> 01:28:10,314
It's tough enough now.

1907
01:28:10,518 --> 01:28:13,453
- Just a minute.
- Send him a wire. He'll be waiting.

1908
01:28:13,655 --> 01:28:16,488
- Who'll write the story?
- I will. It won't be as good...

1909
01:28:16,691 --> 01:28:19,023
It's my story.
I like to think that it...

1910
01:28:19,227 --> 01:28:22,594
- At last.
- I get it. The same old act, isn't it?

1911
01:28:22,797 --> 01:28:25,322
Try to push me out,
thinking I'll want to stay.

1912
01:28:25,533 --> 01:28:28,195
I know I deserve that.
Wait a minute, Duffy.

1913
01:28:28,403 --> 01:28:29,802
This time you're wrong.

1914
01:28:30,004 --> 01:28:33,405
When you walk out that door,
part of me will go right with you.

1915
01:28:33,608 --> 01:28:35,667
But a whole new world
will open up for you.

1916
01:28:35,877 --> 01:28:38,675
I made fun of Bruce and Albany.
You know why?

1917
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:40,211
- Why?
- I was jealous.

1918
01:28:40,415 --> 01:28:44,249
I was sore because he could offer you
the kind of life I can't give you.

1919
01:28:44,452 --> 01:28:45,783
That's what you want, honey.

1920
01:28:45,987 --> 01:28:48,012
I could do the story
and take the train...

1921
01:28:48,222 --> 01:28:50,816
Forget it. Come on. Come on.

1922
01:28:51,025 --> 01:28:52,822
Goodbye, dear, and good luck.

1923
01:28:56,898 --> 01:29:00,163
Duffy, now this is how
it goes so far...

1924
01:29:00,368 --> 01:29:01,858
Just a minute.

1925
01:29:02,870 --> 01:29:05,361
Hello. Who? Hildy Johnson?

1926
01:29:05,573 --> 01:29:08,133
- She just left.
- I'm still here. I can take it.

1927
01:29:08,343 --> 01:29:09,742
Hang on a minute.

1928
01:29:11,846 --> 01:29:13,643
Hildy Johnson speaking.

1929
01:29:14,582 --> 01:29:16,914
The Fourth Precinct Police Station?

1930
01:29:17,118 --> 01:29:18,346
Put him on.

1931
01:29:19,253 --> 01:29:21,744
I thought you were
on your way to Albany...

1932
01:29:21,956 --> 01:29:22,956
What for?

1933
01:29:23,091 --> 01:29:25,059
For having counterfeit money.

1934
01:29:25,259 --> 01:29:26,624
Counterfeit money?

1935
01:29:26,828 --> 01:29:28,295
Hold on a minute.

1936
01:29:28,496 --> 01:29:30,054
Where did you get it?

1937
01:29:30,264 --> 01:29:31,959
I gave it to you?

1938
01:29:32,500 --> 01:29:36,300
All right.
I'll try and do something about it.

1939
01:29:47,115 --> 01:29:48,309
Honey.

1940
01:29:49,183 --> 01:29:51,413
Honey, don't cry, please.

1941
01:29:51,619 --> 01:29:55,350
I didn't mean to make you cry.
What's wrong? You never cried before.

1942
01:29:56,891 --> 01:30:00,827
I thought you were really
sending me away with Bruce.

1943
01:30:02,330 --> 01:30:04,662
I didn't know you had him locked up.

1944
01:30:05,266 --> 01:30:08,360
I thought you were
on the level, for once.

1945
01:30:08,569 --> 01:30:12,130
That you were just standing by
and letting me go off with him...

1946
01:30:12,340 --> 01:30:14,433
...and not doing a thing about it.

1947
01:30:14,642 --> 01:30:17,270
Come on, honey. What did you
think I was, a chump?

1948
01:30:17,478 --> 01:30:19,708
I thought you didn't love me.

1949
01:30:19,914 --> 01:30:21,506
What were you thinking with?

1950
01:30:21,716 --> 01:30:23,047
I don't know.

1951
01:30:24,018 --> 01:30:26,748
What are you standing
there gawking for?

1952
01:30:26,954 --> 01:30:29,115
We have to get him out of jail.

1953
01:30:29,323 --> 01:30:31,621
Send Louie down
with some honest money...

1954
01:30:31,826 --> 01:30:33,623
...and send him back to Albany.

1955
01:30:33,828 --> 01:30:35,090
Sure.

1956
01:30:35,730 --> 01:30:39,166
Everything's changed.
We're coming over to the office.

1957
01:30:39,367 --> 01:30:41,858
Don't worry about the story.
Hildy will write it.

1958
01:30:42,069 --> 01:30:44,697
She never intended to quit.
We're getting married.

1959
01:30:44,906 --> 01:30:46,999
Can we go on a honeymoon this time?

1960
01:30:47,208 --> 01:30:48,208
Sure.

1961
01:30:48,342 --> 01:30:51,243
Duffy, you can be managing editor.

1962
01:30:51,446 --> 01:30:54,347
Not permanently.
Just for the two weeks we're away.

1963
01:30:54,549 --> 01:30:56,449
I don't know where.
Where are we going?

1964
01:30:56,651 --> 01:30:58,141
Niagara Falls.

1965
01:30:58,352 --> 01:31:00,582
- Niagara Falls.
- Two whole weeks?

1966
01:31:00,788 --> 01:31:03,586
Sure, you've earned it. What?

1967
01:31:03,791 --> 01:31:07,056
What? A strike? What strike?

1968
01:31:07,261 --> 01:31:08,261
Where?

1969
01:31:08,529 --> 01:31:09,723
Albany?

1970
01:31:10,064 --> 01:31:13,124
- I know it's on the way, but...
- Okay, we'll honeymoon in Albany.

1971
01:31:13,334 --> 01:31:14,801
Okay, Duffy.

1972
01:31:15,536 --> 01:31:18,562
Isn't that a coincidence!
I wonder if Bruce can put us up.

1973
01:31:18,773 --> 01:31:21,105
Say, why don't you carry that
in your hand?
