00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:05,968
I can handle myself.

335
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:07,219
No, really, Mr. Connelly.

336
00:23:07,303 --> 00:23:10,389
Mr. Connelly is buried
next to my mother.
I'm Dodge.

337
00:23:10,472 --> 00:23:12,474
Dodge,
it'd be better
if you go.

338
00:23:12,558 --> 00:23:13,726
Better for whom?

339
00:23:15,644 --> 00:23:17,730
Don't get familiar,
Mr. Connelly.

340
00:23:17,813 --> 00:23:20,316
Just because we had a laugh
doesn't mean you know me.

341
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:23,777
My apologies.

342
00:23:23,861 --> 00:23:25,571
Apology accepted.

343
00:23:27,156 --> 00:23:28,949
But I do know you.

344
00:23:29,575 --> 00:23:31,410
You think so?
Oh, yeah.

345
00:23:31,493 --> 00:23:32,578
Really?
Yeah.

346
00:23:32,661 --> 00:23:34,246
You're the kind of cocktail
that comes on like sugar,

347
00:23:34,330 --> 00:23:35,748
but gives you
a kick in the head.

348
00:23:35,831 --> 00:23:37,750
The only thing you hate worse
than a guy making a play

349
00:23:37,833 --> 00:23:39,335
is when a guy
doesn't make a play.

350
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:41,337
Were you making a play?
I hadn't realized.

351
00:23:41,462 --> 00:23:43,672
It might work
on my Aunt Lurleen.
She's a little near-sighted.

352
00:23:43,756 --> 00:23:47,468
There's an article
on peach-canning in here
that I'm dying to get back to.

353
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:51,764
Well, I know you, too,
Dodge Connelly.

354
00:23:51,847 --> 00:23:54,767
You think you're the slickest
operator in Duluth,
and maybe you are,

355
00:23:54,850 --> 00:23:57,061
but being the slickest
operator in Duluth
is kind of like

356
00:23:57,144 --> 00:23:58,395
being the world's
tallest midget,

357
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,439
if you ask me.
It's too bad we know
each other so well.

358
00:24:00,522 --> 00:24:01,941
We might have gotten along.
Well, I'll live.

359
00:24:02,024 --> 00:24:03,275
Alone.

360
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,610
CC: Lexie?

361
00:24:06,445 --> 00:24:08,614
Mr. Frazier,
Lexie Littleton.

362
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:11,283
I do apologize
for keeping you waiting.

363
00:24:11,533 --> 00:24:13,410
So, where is this
cute boyfriend of mine?

364
00:24:13,494 --> 00:24:15,954
Well, I thought
he was behind me.

365
00:24:17,206 --> 00:24:18,791
There he is now.

366
00:24:19,208 --> 00:24:20,334
(PEOPLE CHATTERING EXCITEDLY)

367
00:24:20,417 --> 00:24:23,754
(LAUGHING)
He finds it very difficult
moving around in public.

368
00:24:24,546 --> 00:24:25,881
Carter.

369
00:24:26,632 --> 00:24:27,716
Say, CC!

370
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:29,968
He loves his fans.

371
00:24:31,887 --> 00:24:35,641
Carter, this is
Miss Littleton of the Tribune.
She's doing a piece on you.

372
00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:37,351
Well, that'll be fine.

373
00:24:37,434 --> 00:24:38,560
A pleasure, Mr. Rutherford.

374
00:24:38,644 --> 00:24:39,812
Carter, Miss Littleton.

375
00:24:39,895 --> 00:24:41,271
Lexie, Carter.

376
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,481
Say, CC...

377
00:24:42,564 --> 00:24:43,607
There you are.

378
00:24:43,816 --> 00:24:45,693
Could you bring
the car around?
We're ready to leave.

379
00:24:45,818 --> 00:24:48,237
I don't think
this gentleman works here.
No?

380
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,656
He certainly looks
like the retrieving type.

381
00:24:50,739 --> 00:24:52,074
(LAUGHING)

382
00:24:52,157 --> 00:24:54,326
Do you work here, Dodge?

383
00:24:54,410 --> 00:24:56,620
No, CC,
I came to talk
to you.

384
00:24:56,704 --> 00:24:58,831
Yes, well, I'm afraid
we're going to dinner.

385
00:24:58,914 --> 00:25:01,542
Come, let's find
a real valet, shall we?

386
00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:08,173
I have $20,000
that says you might
want to talk.

387
00:25:10,134 --> 00:25:12,219
So if I understand
you correctly,
Mr. Connelly,

388
00:25:12,302 --> 00:25:15,472
it's your intention
to legitimize
professional football?

389
00:25:15,556 --> 00:25:17,474
That's right.
Well, let me say straight off,

390
00:25:17,558 --> 00:25:20,018
there's no such beast
as professional football.

391
00:25:20,185 --> 00:25:24,189
There's only miners and
farmers and shell-shocked
veterans of the Great War,

392
00:25:24,273 --> 00:25:26,108
smashing each other's
skulls together

393
00:25:26,191 --> 00:25:29,361
in a million turnip fields
from Duluth to East Jesus.

394
00:25:29,945 --> 00:25:33,157
Now I ask you,
how do you intend
to legitimize that?

395
00:25:33,699 --> 00:25:36,118
By keeping it alive,
by investing in a team.

396
00:25:36,201 --> 00:25:39,747
Well, you see,
there's the catch. I'm not
interested in investing.

397
00:25:39,830 --> 00:25:44,835
I'm more of a 20-percenter.
New talent, new ideas
interest me.

398
00:25:45,294 --> 00:25:47,421
Professional football
does not attract new talent,

399
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:51,008
and investing in
a professional football
team is not a new idea.

400
00:25:52,718 --> 00:25:54,219
Dodge,

401
00:25:54,303 --> 00:25:57,139
we had some laughs
a few years ago.

402
00:25:57,222 --> 00:25:58,348
You had some laughs.

403
00:25:58,432 --> 00:25:59,641
(CHUCKLING) Yes.

404
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:02,561
Yes, I guess I did.

405
00:26:04,229 --> 00:26:05,355
So...

406
00:26:05,439 --> 00:26:06,648
Okay.

407
00:26:07,566 --> 00:26:09,401
How about this
for a new idea?

408
00:26:09,568 --> 00:26:12,404
Carter Rutherford
leaves Princeton to play
for the Duluth Bulldogs.

409
00:26:12,488 --> 00:26:14,239
What?
Hear me out.

410
00:26:14,323 --> 00:26:16,200
Carter, you're a pretty
remarkable guy,
aren't you?

411
00:26:16,325 --> 00:26:18,368
I just play football.
You don't have to be
modest with me.

412
00:26:18,452 --> 00:26:19,578
I know your story.

413
00:26:19,661 --> 00:26:22,831
How you put your education
on hold to serve your country,
to fight in the war.

414
00:26:22,915 --> 00:26:24,249
I was just doing
what I thought was right.

415
00:26:24,333 --> 00:26:26,001
DODGE: The President gave you
a medal for bravery.

416
00:26:26,084 --> 00:26:28,170
CARTER:
I was just in the right place
at the right time.

417
00:26:28,253 --> 00:26:31,548
That's not what the papers
said. They called you
the hero of the Argonne.

418
00:26:31,632 --> 00:26:34,593
Then, when you went
back to school, you turned out
to be a football hero, too.

419
00:26:34,718 --> 00:26:36,804
Mr. Connelly,
I'm just a guy...
Carter.

420
00:26:37,262 --> 00:26:39,765
Do kids chase you
down the hallway
at school?

421
00:26:39,848 --> 00:26:40,891
Sometimes.

422
00:26:40,974 --> 00:26:42,935
Follow you around?
Ask you for an autograph?

423
00:26:43,018 --> 00:26:45,771
It happens, yeah,
but you can't take
that stuff too seriously.

424
00:26:45,854 --> 00:26:48,607
You feel like sometimes
everybody wants
something from you?

425
00:26:49,191 --> 00:26:53,862
And how are you compensated
for living your life under
that kind of public scrutiny?

426
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:56,907
By paying tuition
to Princeton.

427
00:27:05,082 --> 00:27:08,127
Let me ask you a question.
Do you like playing football?

428
00:27:08,585 --> 00:27:09,878
I love playing football.

429
00:27:09,962 --> 00:27:12,840
Good. You got one more year
and that's it.
That's all she wrote.

430
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:14,716
What are you gonna do then?

431
00:27:15,175 --> 00:27:17,344
Actually, I've already
been accepted
to Yale Law School.

432
00:27:17,427 --> 00:27:19,429
I have a position
waiting for me at Hager,
Danes and Upton

433
00:27:19,513 --> 00:27:21,139
when I get my law degree.

434
00:27:21,223 --> 00:27:24,393
It turns out,
I'm not too bad a student,
when I put my mind to it.

435
00:27:26,019 --> 00:27:29,523
You... That's good. It's good.
Mmm-hmm.

436
00:27:29,940 --> 00:27:33,110
And all of that
will be waiting for you,
no question about it.

437
00:27:33,193 --> 00:27:34,945
But the world's
full of good lawyers.

438
00:27:35,028 --> 00:27:37,447
In football,
there's only one
Carter Rutherford.

439
00:27:37,531 --> 00:27:40,534
You don't need any more
teaching to be what you are
out on the field.

440
00:27:40,784 --> 00:27:44,872
You ought to be playing
football, and you ought to
be rewarded for your talent.

441
00:27:48,125 --> 00:27:50,377
Makes sense. Sort of.

442
00:27:50,502 --> 00:27:52,921
So did bloodletting
at the time.

443
00:27:53,380 --> 00:27:57,009
CC: You're very passionate,
Mr. Connelly. What exactly
do you have in mind?

444
00:27:58,802 --> 00:28:03,640
Carter Rutherford takes
a temporary leave from
Princeton to play for Duluth,

445
00:28:03,974 --> 00:28:08,645
and in exchange,
he is guaranteed
$5,000 a game.

446
00:28:15,152 --> 00:28:16,737
Let's you and l
have another drink,
Mr. Connelly.

447
00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:18,196
You're the boss.

448
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,782
Why don't you two run along,
conduct your interview,

449
00:28:20,908 --> 00:28:24,161
whilst Mr. Connelly and l
thrash out your future?

450
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:27,581
Come on, Carter.

451
00:28:35,172 --> 00:28:37,257
Carter Rutherford wouldn't
sit on a bench
for that kind of money.

452
00:28:37,341 --> 00:28:38,759
Did I say 5?
I meant 10.

453
00:28:39,009 --> 00:28:40,594
I assume you'll be paying this
out of the gate receipts?

454
00:28:40,719 --> 00:28:42,512
That's right.
Of course,
I'll want it in the form

455
00:28:42,596 --> 00:28:45,432
of a guarantee. Plus I get
a percentage of the overages.

456
00:28:45,515 --> 00:28:47,684
Of course.
In the neighborhood of 5%.

457
00:28:47,935 --> 00:28:49,770
I was thinking
a little more uptown.

458
00:28:50,687 --> 00:28:51,855
10?

459
00:28:51,939 --> 00:28:53,023
(GROANS)
25.

460
00:28:56,068 --> 00:28:59,237
I'll understand
if you decline.
Most teams would.

461
00:28:59,529 --> 00:29:01,865
Most, but not all.

462
00:29:12,209 --> 00:29:13,627
DODGE: Sudsy? Listen up.

463
00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:16,505
Carter Rutherford's gonna
be playing for the Duluth
Bulldogs starting Sunday.

464
00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:20,050
We're... What? No,
just listen. We're taking
a Pullman to Duluth tonight.

465
00:29:20,133 --> 00:29:22,594
We're gonna
get there in the morning.
Round up everybody you can.

466
00:29:22,678 --> 00:29:26,014
Get the word around.
I want a nice welcoming
committee when we pull in.

467
00:29:26,098 --> 00:29:29,601
What? Just trust me.
Thanks, pal.

468
00:29:30,227 --> 00:29:34,648
Harvey, change of plans.
I'm taking a train with these
knuckleheads to Duluth.

469
00:29:34,731 --> 00:29:38,276
What? No,
I haven't been drinking!
It's a long story.

470
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,321
Just give me a few days.
Hey, how'd it go
with Mack Steiner?

471
00:29:41,571 --> 00:29:43,407
So don't use his name.

472
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:46,576
Believe me, Harvey,
by the end of the week, this
kid will cook his own goose.

473
00:29:47,244 --> 00:29:48,745
I got to go.

474
00:30:00,841 --> 00:30:01,842
(WHISTLES)

475
00:30:01,925 --> 00:30:03,427
MAN: Hey, what are you doing?

476
00:30:03,927 --> 00:30:05,095
Sorry.

477
00:30:13,311 --> 00:30:14,688
(WHISTLES)

478
00:30:17,607 --> 00:30:20,819
CARTER: You know,
truth be told, I was
a better baseball player.

479
00:30:20,902 --> 00:30:23,363
But college baseball
isn't too popular.

480
00:30:23,947 --> 00:30:27,617
What about the war?
Where'd all that courage
come from?

481
00:30:27,951 --> 00:30:29,953
I don't know about courage.

482
00:30:30,203 --> 00:30:33,040
A platoon of German soldiers
surrendered to you.

483
00:30:33,290 --> 00:30:36,626
Quite a few have made a lot
out of much less.

484
00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:38,837
Let's talk about
something else.

485
00:30:39,796 --> 00:30:42,132
Like, how did
Miss Lexie Littleton
get so curious

486
00:30:42,215 --> 00:30:44,217
she worked her way up
a newspaper room?

487
00:30:44,301 --> 00:30:46,470
Not really
the homemaker type.

488
00:30:47,137 --> 00:30:49,306
Depends on the home, I guess.

489
00:30:55,354 --> 00:30:56,355
(CHUCKLES)

490
00:30:57,939 --> 00:30:59,483
(LEXIE LAUGHS)

491
00:31:02,652 --> 00:31:04,154
This is me.

492
00:31:05,947 --> 00:31:07,532
An eventful day,
Mr. Bullet.

493
00:31:07,616 --> 00:31:08,784
Good night, Lexie.

494
00:31:09,576 --> 00:31:12,913
Bright and early, Bullet.
You got a big day ahead.

495
00:31:18,001 --> 00:31:19,336
Hey, Lexie,

496
00:31:20,670 --> 00:31:23,673
you think I did
the right thing
about this Duluth deal?

497
00:31:24,424 --> 00:31:27,677
I think you did
the right thing

it was your berth.
I would have armed myself.

505
00:31:51,952 --> 00:31:52,953

506
00:31:53,036 --> 00:31:54,413
Well, there's
an understatement!

507

508
00:31:55,664 --> 00:31:57,666

I glanced.

509
00:31:58,208 --> 00:31:59,251

513
00:32:10,679 --> 00:32:11,888
Yes, it is.

514
00:32:11,972 --> 00:32:14,724

this may seem
a little awkward

515

coming from the man
who only promotes
the man of your dreams,

516
00:32:17,811 --> 00:32:19,479

a little thought.

517
00:32:19,729 --> 00:32:21,273

till tomorrow?

518

but that's not my style.

519

Carter is very important
to me.

520
00:32:27,863 --> 00:32:30,031
I want to make sure
you treat him fairly
in your newspaper.

521

that I wouldn't.

Carter is good
for the country.
He's a war hero.

524
00:32:35,996 --> 00:32:39,499
Good for the Tribune,

Good for me.

525

with a rather beautiful woman,

528
00:32:47,841 --> 00:32:51,011
and she and I were wondering
if you'd care to join us
for a nightcap?

529
00:32:51,094 --> 00:32:52,137
Good night, CC.

530

What?

532
00:33:02,355 --> 00:33:03,857
I think I'll sleep
up here tonight.

what the next move is.

we should switch
to the Single Back Formation

rather than sticking
with the Wing.
What do you think?

we ran the team...

a lot like your plays,

to Miss Belinda Whippleworth.

I thought you had to be 21
to get into a place like this.

841
00:53:03,764 --> 00:53:05,099
She is 21 .

842
00:53:05,265 --> 00:53:06,433
I meant her lQ.

843
00:53:06,517 --> 00:53:08,352
I wasn't planning
on running her
for Congress.

844
00:53:08,435 --> 00:53:11,188
No? What were you planning
on doing with her?

845
00:53:11,271 --> 00:53:12,856
You know, the usual.

846
00:53:13,107 --> 00:53:15,943
Put her in shoulder pads
and a helmet,
and knock her brains out?

847
00:53:16,068 --> 00:53:17,611
I think somebody
beat me to it.

848
00:53:17,778 --> 00:53:18,946
She'll do well in Congress.

849
00:53:19,029 --> 00:53:21,365
You're only as young
as the women you feel.

850

How quiet it must be
at the Algonquin
with you here in Duluth.

851

So, are you flying solo,
or is the Bullet
casting about?

What do you care?
You're here to entertain
Miss Nipplewidth.

853
00:53:36,630 --> 00:53:39,383
It wouldn't look good
for you to get caught
in a place like this.

854
00:53:39,466 --> 00:53:43,470
I'd dare say it wouldn't
look good for anyone to be
caught in a place like this.

855
00:53:50,519 --> 00:53:55,649
Maybe I shall
Meet him Sunday

856

a liking to yours truly.

that he felt compelled
to clear his conscience
on his Sergeant York routine.

00:55:12,392 --> 00:55:16,230
You mean he didn't take out
a whole platoon
with a bow and arrow?

874
00:55:25,447 --> 00:55:29,159
He'll look at me and smile

Two days ago, the Tribune

01:09:12,231 --> 01:09:16,569
made a salacious
and quite outrageous
accusation that my client,

Carter Rutherford,
a great war hero,

1056
01:09:19,072 --> 01:09:21,866
was less than truthful about
his service to his country.

1057
01:09:21,949 --> 01:09:24,035
They produced one witness.

1058
01:09:24,118 --> 01:09:29,665
Anonymously. One man,
who'd served alongside
Carter on the frontlines.

1059
01:09:29,749 --> 01:09:32,377
The only other
corroborating story
came from

Miss Lexie Littleton,
who claimed that Carter
confessed to her

is that I am the source

in its damning article.

is miraculous.

with a bunch of Chicago fans

1294

to be veterans

at a place like this,
we get to talking,

1296

and you come to find out that
six or seven of these fellas

1297
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:09,758
served with Carter
when he beat
the Kaiser single-handedly.

I say to myself,

1306
01:22:33,699 --> 01:22:35,492

with a crew cut.

1318

Yeah, he's put on
a lot of weight.

1321
01:23:05,397 --> 01:23:08,317
Pete, come on, let's do
a little something nice
for our boys in the uniform.

up, if you would.

to thank those fellows
for their service.

here. It would be a mistake
for them to come here.

HARVEY: What are you
talking about, mistake?

1330
01:23:31,757 --> 01:23:32,799
CC: Because these soldiers,

1331
01:23:32,883 --> 01:23:34,927
they've been up all night
at a speakeasy with some
gal named Ya Ya.

1332
01:23:35,010 --> 01:23:37,012
What do you say
we just stop?

1333
01:23:37,095 --> 01:23:39,598
No...
CC, stop.

1334
01:23:49,942 --> 01:23:53,278
It's my fault.
I should have put
an end to it.

1335
01:23:53,946 --> 01:23:55,614
Put an end to what?

1336
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:03,455
It's all true.

1338
01:24:05,999 --> 01:24:08,252
And the soldiers
down in that truck,
they know it.

1339
01:24:09,836 --> 01:24:12,839
That's why CC
doesn't want these fellows
to come up here.

01:24:16,176 --> 01:24:18,345
What about
Mack Steiner's story?

1341
01:24:21,848 --> 01:24:24,142
I guess CC paid him off.

1342
01:24:33,026 --> 01:24:34,861
Sit down,
all of you.

1343
01:24:44,788 --> 01:24:46,623
It's funny
how things
work out.

1344
01:24:49,042 --> 01:24:51,169
Lexie,
you and Harvey can go.

1345
01:24:52,087 --> 01:24:54,006
You're not going
to write a retraction.

1346
01:24:54,089 --> 01:24:57,259
I thought you'd see it
our way, Commissioner.
I'll get my hat.

1347
01:25:01,013 --> 01:25:02,097
HARVEY: Lexie.

1348
01:25:05,100 --> 01:25:06,435

1349
01:25:11,023 --> 01:25:12,357
See you, Lex.

1350
01:25:13,358 --> 01:25:15,527

1352
01:25:22,826 --> 01:25:25,037
I'll be with you
in a second, Mr. Connelly.

1353
01:25:29,458 --> 01:25:33,128
Mr. Rutherford,
you got one play here.

1354
01:25:33,629 --> 01:25:35,130
You go to the press
and tell them

1355
01:25:35,213 --> 01:25:39,217
you were part of a great
group of boys who fought
for their country,

1356
01:25:39,301 --> 01:25:41,303
and you got
too much credit.

1357
01:25:44,306 --> 01:25:46,058
You think that will settle it?

1358
01:25:47,643 --> 01:25:51,813
That, and you're gonna
donate 50% of your earnings
to the American Legion.

1359
01:25:52,522 --> 01:25:54,191
Is that before
or after commissions?

1360
01:25:54,274 --> 01:25:55,525
Before.

1361
01:25:56,318 --> 01:25:58,820
But that's not gonna matter
a whole hell of a lot.

1362
01:26:01,740 --> 01:26:04,076
Got a new book of rules.

1363
01:26:06,244 --> 01:26:09,081

and representatives
of players

01:26:11,875 --> 01:26:13,752
I'm the state.

I'm the one
who approves
your license, CC.

1367
01:26:16,838 --> 01:26:18,423
You're out of football.

1368
01:26:19,883 --> 01:26:21,593
I'll fight you in court.

1369
01:26:21,677 --> 01:26:23,929

I'll get mine.

Do you know
Chicago bookmakers

1373
01:27:00,465 --> 01:27:04,553
are betting on the game
of professional football
not lasting a year?

1374
01:27:04,636 --> 01:27:06,471
Even with Carter.

1375
01:27:07,139 --> 01:27:10,392
And then where will
all the little boys
who won't grow up go?

1376
01:27:15,063 --> 01:27:16,731
There's always baseball.

1377
01:27:24,156 --> 01:27:26,158
How much longer you think
you might be playing?

1378
01:27:26,283 --> 01:27:27,492
Why?

1379
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:29,327
Well...

1380
01:27:30,162 --> 01:27:32,998
The game of professional
football has come of age.

1381
01:27:33,081 --> 01:27:36,418
Now we got to abide by
a uniform set of rules.

1382

It's too much,
too much money now.

No more hiding footballs
under your jersey.

No more Crusty Bobs.

to retire, Dodge.

It is a fine day
for professional football
here in Chicago.

down in buckets but, at least
for the moment, has subsided.

Field conditions
are simply horrible.

1410
01:29:19,271 --> 01:29:21,857
That should favor
the ground game of Chicago.

1411
01:29:21,940 --> 01:29:23,692
But the real story today
is the match-up

1412

Dodge Connelly.

you want to kick off

01:47:37,826 --> 01:47:39,953
I guess some
sort of scandal.

1671
01:47:40,037 --> 01:47:41,246
Hmm.

1672
01:47:41,330 --> 01:47:42,331
Taxes, maybe.

1673
01:47:42,414 --> 01:47:43,707
Lose all our money.

1674
01:47:43,832 --> 01:47:45,459
The family home?

1675
01:47:45,542 --> 01:47:47,211
Then,
after a brief
turn in jail...

1676
01:47:47,544 --> 01:47:49,046
LEXIE: You'll like it there!

1677
01:47:49,171 --> 01:47:50,673
DODGE: Not me, you.

1678
01:47:51,006 --> 01:47:52,132
(LEXIE LAUGHING)

1679
01:47:52,216 --> 01:47:54,301
LEXIE: Quickly
followed by dementia.

1680
01:47:54,385 --> 01:47:55,844
DODGE: What was
your name, again?

1681
01:47:56,220 --> 01:47:57,554
My friends
call me Lexie.

1682
01:47:57,638 --> 01:47:58,639
Fine.

1683
01:47:58,722 --> 01:48:01,058
You can
call me Miss Littleton.

1684
01:48:01,517 --> 01:48:04,520
That'd be nice.
Well, Miss Littleton...

1685
01:48:05,020 --> 01:48:09,149
You should be warned
that the way you're holding me
now, you're choking me.

1686
