Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:22,924 --> 00:02:24,390
Yeah, D.B.
2
00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:26,190
Oh, just cleaning out the deadwood.
3
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:27,210
Okay.
4
00:02:28,020 --> 00:02:29,990
Look, Mr. Connell, I just can't afford
5
00:02:30,010 --> 00:02:32,390
to be without work right
now, not even for a day.
6
00:02:32,410 --> 00:02:34,040
I've got a mother and two kid sisters to...
7
00:02:34,060 --> 00:02:36,270
More good luck telegrams.
8
00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:38,290
Well, you know how it is.
9
00:02:38,310 --> 00:02:40,330
I've just got to keep on working, see?
10
00:02:40,350 --> 00:02:42,710
Sorry, sister, I was sent
down here to clean house.
11
00:02:42,730 --> 00:02:44,898
I told you, I can't use
your column anymore.
12
00:02:44,918 --> 00:02:46,094
It's lavender and old lace.
13
00:02:46,114 --> 00:02:47,613
- Sir?
- Send those other people in.
14
00:02:47,633 --> 00:02:48,970
I'll tell you what I'll do.
15
00:02:48,990 --> 00:02:50,630
I get $30.
16
00:02:50,650 --> 00:02:52,910
I'll take $25, $20 if necessary.
17
00:02:52,930 --> 00:02:53,851
I'll do anything you say.
18
00:02:53,871 --> 00:02:55,350
It isn't the money.
19
00:02:55,370 --> 00:02:56,420
We're after circulation.
20
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,010
What we need is fireworks,
21
00:02:58,030 --> 00:02:59,861
people who can hit with
sledgehammers, start arguments.
22
00:02:59,881 --> 00:03:00,695
Oh, I can do that.
23
00:03:00,715 --> 00:03:02,280
I know this town inside-out.
24
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:03,114
Oh, give me a chance, please.
25
00:03:03,134 --> 00:03:05,770
All right, come in, come in, come in.
26
00:03:05,790 --> 00:03:07,350
Cashier's got your check.
27
00:03:07,370 --> 00:03:08,930
Who are these people?
28
00:03:08,950 --> 00:03:10,990
Gibbs, Crawley, Cunningham, Giles
29
00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:13,080
Hey you, sister.
30
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:14,167
Don't forget to get out your last column
31
00:03:14,187 --> 00:03:15,713
before you pick up your check.
32
00:03:34,790 --> 00:03:37,050
You're a couple of sticks
shy in your column, Ann.
33
00:03:37,070 --> 00:03:39,090
Big, rich slob like
D.B. Norton buys a paper
34
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:40,870
and 40 heads are chopped off.
35
00:03:40,890 --> 00:03:43,190
- Did you get it, too?
- Yeah.
36
00:03:43,210 --> 00:03:44,210
You too?
37
00:03:45,015 --> 00:03:46,310
Oh, Joe.
38
00:03:46,330 --> 00:03:47,430
Oh, I'm sorry darling.
39
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,560
Why don't we tear the building down?
40
00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:51,740
Before you do, Ann,
41
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,510
perhaps you'd better finish this column.
42
00:03:53,530 --> 00:03:55,083
Yeah, lavender and old lace.
43
00:03:57,170 --> 00:03:58,410
Wait, Joe.
44
00:03:58,430 --> 00:03:59,430
Wait.
45
00:04:02,979 --> 00:04:04,979
He wants fireworks, huh?
46
00:04:05,957 --> 00:04:07,069
Okay.
47
00:04:24,267 --> 00:04:25,267
Here.
48
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,843
Below is a letter which
reached my desk this morning.
49
00:04:28,863 --> 00:04:30,330
It's a commentary on what we
50
00:04:30,350 --> 00:04:32,470
laughingly call a civilized world.
51
00:04:32,490 --> 00:04:34,590
Dear Miss Mitchell, four years ago,
52
00:04:34,610 --> 00:04:36,290
I was fired outta my job.
53
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:38,630
Since then, I haven't been
able to get another one.
54
00:04:38,650 --> 00:04:41,050
At first I was sore at
the state administration
55
00:04:41,070 --> 00:04:43,570
because it's on account
of the slimy politics here
56
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:45,901
we have all this unemployment.
57
00:04:45,921 --> 00:04:47,260
But in looking around,
58
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:49,260
it seems the whole world's going to pot.
59
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:51,430
So, in protest, I'm going to commit suicide
60
00:04:51,450 --> 00:04:53,360
by jumping off the City Hall roof.
61
00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:57,020
Signed, a disgusted
American citizen, John Doe.
62
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,740
Editor's note, if you ask this column,
63
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,870
the wrong people are jumping off the roofs.
64
00:05:02,890 --> 00:05:05,920
Hey, Ann, this is the
old fak-a-roo, isn't it?
65
00:05:05,940 --> 00:05:07,927
Nevermind that, Joe, go ahead.
66
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:31,923
And it's because of the slimy politics
67
00:05:31,943 --> 00:05:33,890
that we have all this unemployment here.
68
00:05:33,910 --> 00:05:35,650
There it is.
69
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:37,820
That's D.B. Norton's opening
attack on the governor.
70
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:40,260
Why, Jim, it's just a
letter sent into a column.
71
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:42,470
No, no, I can smell it, that's Norton.
72
00:05:42,490 --> 00:05:43,416
Good morning, gentlemen.
73
00:05:43,436 --> 00:05:44,691
- Good morning, Governor.
- Good morning, Governor.
74
00:05:44,711 --> 00:05:45,681
You're here rather early.
75
00:05:45,701 --> 00:05:48,530
Governor, did you happen to
see this in the New Bulletin?
76
00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:49,760
Yes.
77
00:05:49,780 --> 00:05:51,980
I had it served with my
breakfast this morning.
78
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,850
Jim thinks it's D.B. Norton at work.
79
00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:54,801
Of course it is.
80
00:05:54,821 --> 00:05:56,280
Oh, come, Jim.
81
00:05:56,300 --> 00:05:57,390
That little item?
82
00:05:57,410 --> 00:05:59,707
D.B. Norton does things
in a much bigger way.
83
00:05:59,727 --> 00:06:01,243
This is his opening
attack on you, Governor,
84
00:06:01,263 --> 00:06:03,124
take my word for it.
85
00:06:03,144 --> 00:06:04,800
What did he buy a paper for?
86
00:06:04,820 --> 00:06:07,580
Why did he engage a high-pressure
editor like Connell for?
87
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,080
He's in the oil business.
88
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:11,060
I tell you, Governor,
he's after your scalp.
89
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,740
All right, Jim, all right,
don't burst a blood vessel.
90
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,125
I'll look into it.
91
00:06:16,145 --> 00:06:17,137
Yes sir?
92
00:06:17,157 --> 00:06:19,920
Get me Spencer of the
Daily Chronicle please.
93
00:06:19,940 --> 00:06:21,800
Yes, yes, I saw it, Governor.
94
00:06:21,820 --> 00:06:23,730
If you ask me, that's a phony letter.
95
00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:26,040
Why, that gag has got whiskers on it.
96
00:06:26,060 --> 00:06:26,874
Hmm?
97
00:06:26,894 --> 00:06:27,900
Okay, I'll get the mayor
98
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,830
and maybe the Chamber of
Commerce to go after them.
99
00:06:30,850 --> 00:06:32,380
Get Mayor Lovett on the phone.
100
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,830
Sorry, the mayor's busy on the other phone.
101
00:06:34,850 --> 00:06:35,893
Yes, I know, Mrs. Brewster.
102
00:06:35,913 --> 00:06:38,160
It's a terrible reflection on our city.
103
00:06:38,180 --> 00:06:39,333
I've had a dozen calls already.
104
00:06:39,353 --> 00:06:40,760
Spencer at the Chronicle.
105
00:06:40,780 --> 00:06:42,220
- Hold him.
- Just a minute.
106
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,140
Yes, Mrs. Brewster, I'm listening.
107
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,800
I insist that this John Doe man be found
108
00:06:46,820 --> 00:06:48,100
and given a job at once.
109
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,600
Now, if something isn't done about it,
110
00:06:49,620 --> 00:06:51,275
I'll call out the whole auxiliary.
111
00:06:51,295 --> 00:06:53,282
And the junior auxiliary.
112
00:06:53,302 --> 00:06:55,261
We'll hold a meeting and see that...
113
00:06:55,281 --> 00:06:56,629
Yes, Spency?
114
00:06:56,649 --> 00:06:57,561
Who?
115
00:06:57,581 --> 00:06:58,700
The governor?
116
00:06:58,720 --> 00:06:59,534
Well, what about me?
117
00:06:59,554 --> 00:07:01,130
It's my building he's jumping off of,
118
00:07:01,150 --> 00:07:02,299
and I'm up for reelection too.
119
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:03,445
What are you doing?
120
00:07:03,465 --> 00:07:04,636
Get Connell at the Bulletin.
121
00:07:04,656 --> 00:07:06,600
Why, he's liable to go right past my...
122
00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:08,405
- Get me Connell.
- What was that?
123
00:07:08,425 --> 00:07:09,430
- What?
- Out the window.
124
00:07:09,450 --> 00:07:11,540
Something just flew by.
- I didn't see anything.
125
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,370
Well, don't stand there,
you idiot, go and look.
126
00:07:13,390 --> 00:07:14,390
Open the window.
127
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:17,550
Oh, why did he have to pick on my building?
128
00:07:17,570 --> 00:07:18,670
Is there a crowd in the street?
129
00:07:18,690 --> 00:07:19,504
No, sir.
130
00:07:19,524 --> 00:07:21,630
Then maybe he's caught
on a ledge, look again.
131
00:07:23,010 --> 00:07:24,580
I think it must've been a seagull.
132
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:25,501
A seagull?
133
00:07:25,521 --> 00:07:28,390
What's a seagull doing
around the City Hall?
134
00:07:28,410 --> 00:07:29,610
That's a bad omen, isn't it?
135
00:07:29,630 --> 00:07:32,380
Oh, no sir, the seagull is a lovely bird.
136
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,410
- It's all right, Mrs.
Brewster, it was just a seagull.
137
00:07:34,430 --> 00:07:36,250
- Connell?
- Nothing's happened yet.
138
00:07:36,270 --> 00:07:37,111
No, I'm watching.
139
00:07:37,131 --> 00:07:38,377
Don't worry, Mrs. Brewster.
140
00:07:38,397 --> 00:07:39,850
Just leave it all to me.
141
00:07:39,870 --> 00:07:41,970
Spencer, I'll call you back.
142
00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:43,994
Hello, Connell?
143
00:07:44,014 --> 00:07:44,827
This is...
144
00:07:44,847 --> 00:07:45,660
What are you doing?
145
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,531
This is the mayor.
146
00:07:46,551 --> 00:07:47,760
Yes, Mayor Lovett.
147
00:07:47,780 --> 00:07:49,300
How many times are you gonna call me?
148
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,198
I've got everybody and his brother
149
00:07:50,218 --> 00:07:52,455
and sister out looking for him.
150
00:07:52,475 --> 00:07:54,075
Did you see the box I'm running?
151
00:07:56,050 --> 00:07:57,110
An appeal to John Doe.
152
00:07:57,130 --> 00:07:58,760
Think it over, John.
153
00:07:58,780 --> 00:08:01,110
Life can be beautiful, says mayor.
154
00:08:01,130 --> 00:08:03,120
If you need a job, apply
to editor to this paper,
155
00:08:03,140 --> 00:08:05,160
and so forth and so forth.
156
00:08:05,180 --> 00:08:08,030
Okay, Mayor, I'll let you know
as soon as I have something.
157
00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:09,050
What?
158
00:08:09,820 --> 00:08:11,499
Well, pull down the blinds.
159
00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:13,050
Went up to Miss Mitchell's house, boss.
160
00:08:13,070 --> 00:08:14,363
Boy, she's in a bad way.
- Where is she?
161
00:08:14,383 --> 00:08:15,680
Hey, do you know something?
162
00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:16,960
She supports her mother and two kids.
163
00:08:16,980 --> 00:08:17,956
What do you know about that?
164
00:08:17,976 --> 00:08:19,157
- Did you find her?
- No.
165
00:08:19,177 --> 00:08:20,590
Her mother's awful worried about her.
166
00:08:20,610 --> 00:08:21,424
When she left the house,
167
00:08:21,444 --> 00:08:23,150
said she was going on a roaring drunk.
168
00:08:23,170 --> 00:08:23,984
The girl, I mean.
169
00:08:24,004 --> 00:08:25,622
- Go out and find her.
- Sure.
170
00:08:26,476 --> 00:08:27,750
Hey, but the biggest
thing I didn't tell you.
171
00:08:27,770 --> 00:08:28,892
Her old man's Doc Mitchell.
- Hello?
172
00:08:28,912 --> 00:08:30,004
You know, the doc that
saved my mother's life
173
00:08:30,024 --> 00:08:31,210
and wouldn't take any money for it?
174
00:08:31,230 --> 00:08:32,310
You remember that?
175
00:08:32,330 --> 00:08:34,355
Okay, boss, I'll go and look for her.
176
00:08:37,980 --> 00:08:40,920
Holy smokes, Commissioner,
you've had 24 hours.
177
00:08:40,940 --> 00:08:44,543
Okay, Hawkshaw, grab a
pencil, here it is again.
178
00:08:45,580 --> 00:08:50,580
About five foot five, brown
eyes, light chestnut hair,
179
00:08:51,450 --> 00:08:55,953
and as fine a pair of legs as
ever walked into this office.
180
00:08:59,040 --> 00:08:59,854
Did you wanna see me?
181
00:08:59,874 --> 00:09:03,122
No, I've had the whole Army
and Navy out searching for you
182
00:09:03,142 --> 00:09:04,880
because that's a game
we play here every day.
183
00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:06,590
I remember distinctly being fired.
184
00:09:06,610 --> 00:09:07,710
That's right.
185
00:09:07,730 --> 00:09:08,750
But you have a piece of property
186
00:09:08,770 --> 00:09:10,240
that still belongs to this newspaper
187
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:11,073
and I'd like to have it.
188
00:09:11,093 --> 00:09:11,906
- What's that?
- The letter.
189
00:09:11,926 --> 00:09:12,740
What letter?
190
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,690
- The letter from John Doe.
- Oh.
191
00:09:14,710 --> 00:09:16,240
The whole town's in an uproar.
192
00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:18,466
We've gotta find him and
the letter's the only clue.
193
00:09:18,486 --> 00:09:19,300
There is no letter.
194
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,897
We'll get a handwriting expert to...
195
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,707
What?
- There is no letter.
196
00:09:28,330 --> 00:09:29,144
Say that again.
197
00:09:29,164 --> 00:09:30,524
There's no letter, I made it up.
198
00:09:31,550 --> 00:09:32,364
- You made it up?
- Mm-hmm.
199
00:09:32,384 --> 00:09:34,908
You said you wanted fireworks.
200
00:09:34,928 --> 00:09:37,910
Don't you know there are
nine jobs waiting for this guy,
201
00:09:37,930 --> 00:09:39,930
22 families wanna board him free,
202
00:09:39,950 --> 00:09:41,507
five women wanna marry him,
203
00:09:41,527 --> 00:09:43,640
and the mayor's practically
ready to adopt him?
204
00:09:43,660 --> 00:09:44,473
And you...
205
00:09:44,493 --> 00:09:45,306
Just called the morgue, boss.
206
00:09:45,326 --> 00:09:46,180
They say there's a girl there...
207
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,200
Shut up.
208
00:09:47,940 --> 00:09:48,810
Ann.
209
00:09:48,830 --> 00:09:49,751
Say, why didn't you...
Beany.
210
00:09:49,771 --> 00:09:51,420
Only one thing to do, Hank,
211
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,013
drop the whole business quickly.
212
00:09:53,033 --> 00:09:54,230
- How?
- Run a story.
213
00:09:54,250 --> 00:09:57,225
Say John Doe was in here and
he's sorry he wrote the letter.
214
00:09:57,245 --> 00:09:58,058
That's right.
215
00:09:58,078 --> 00:09:58,936
You got it, sure.
216
00:09:58,956 --> 00:10:00,783
He came in here and I
let him change his mind.
217
00:10:00,803 --> 00:10:02,530
Bulletin editor saves John Doe's life.
218
00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:03,511
Why, it's perfect.
219
00:10:03,531 --> 00:10:05,070
I'll have Ned write it up.
220
00:10:05,090 --> 00:10:05,903
Oh, Ned?
221
00:10:05,923 --> 00:10:06,846
I've got a story I want you to...
222
00:10:06,866 --> 00:10:08,190
Wait a minute.
223
00:10:08,210 --> 00:10:11,190
Listen, you great big wonderful
genius of a newspaper man.
224
00:10:11,210 --> 00:10:12,303
You came down here to shoot some life
225
00:10:12,323 --> 00:10:13,990
into this dying paper, didn't you?
226
00:10:14,010 --> 00:10:15,960
Well, the whole town's
curious about John Doe,
227
00:10:15,980 --> 00:10:18,080
and, boom, just like that,
you're going to bury him.
228
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:19,081
There's enough circulation in that man
229
00:10:19,101 --> 00:10:21,190
to start a shortage in the ink market.
230
00:10:21,210 --> 00:10:22,670
- In what man?
- John Doe.
231
00:10:22,690 --> 00:10:23,504
What John Doe?
232
00:10:23,524 --> 00:10:26,120
Our John Doe, the one I made up.
233
00:10:26,140 --> 00:10:27,998
Look, genius, now look.
234
00:10:28,018 --> 00:10:30,990
Suppose there was a John Doe
and he walked into this office.
235
00:10:31,010 --> 00:10:31,951
What would you do?
236
00:10:31,971 --> 00:10:33,070
Find him a job and forget about
237
00:10:33,090 --> 00:10:34,680
the whole business, I suppose, huh?
238
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:35,513
Not me.
239
00:10:35,533 --> 00:10:36,380
I'd make a deal.
240
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,361
A deal?
241
00:10:37,381 --> 00:10:39,250
Sure, when you get a hold
of a stunt that sells papers,
242
00:10:39,270 --> 00:10:41,150
you don't drop it like a hot potato.
243
00:10:41,170 --> 00:10:42,620
Why, this is good for at
least a couple of months.
244
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,690
You know what I'd do?
245
00:10:43,710 --> 00:10:45,960
Between now and let's say
Christmas when he's gonna jump,
246
00:10:45,980 --> 00:10:48,310
I'd run a daily yarn,
starting with his boyhood,
247
00:10:48,330 --> 00:10:50,010
his schooling, his first job.
248
00:10:50,030 --> 00:10:52,550
A wide-eyed youngster
facing a chaotic world.
249
00:10:52,570 --> 00:10:53,860
The problem of the average man,
250
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,327
of all the John Does in the world.
251
00:10:55,347 --> 00:10:57,460
Now, then comes the drama.
252
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,560
He meets discouragement.
253
00:10:58,580 --> 00:11:00,030
He finds the world has feet of clay.
254
00:11:00,050 --> 00:11:01,060
His ideals crumble.
255
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,031
So what does he do?
256
00:11:02,051 --> 00:11:03,880
He decides to commit suicide in protest
257
00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:05,400
against the state of civilization.
258
00:11:05,420 --> 00:11:06,271
He thinks of the river.
259
00:11:06,291 --> 00:11:08,360
But no, no, he has a better idea.
260
00:11:08,380 --> 00:11:09,193
The City Hall.
261
00:11:09,213 --> 00:11:10,027
Why?
262
00:11:10,047 --> 00:11:11,290
Because he wants to attract attention.
263
00:11:11,310 --> 00:11:12,822
He wants to get a few things off his chest,
264
00:11:12,842 --> 00:11:14,945
and that's the only way
he can get himself heard.
265
00:11:14,965 --> 00:11:16,120
- So?
- So?
266
00:11:16,140 --> 00:11:18,320
So he writes me a letter and I dig him up.
267
00:11:18,340 --> 00:11:20,100
He pours out his soul to me.
268
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,180
And from now on, we quote,
I protest, by John Doe.
269
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,630
He protests against all
the evils in the world,
270
00:11:25,650 --> 00:11:27,450
the greed, the lust, the hate, the fear,
271
00:11:27,470 --> 00:11:29,390
all of man's inhumanity to man.
272
00:11:29,410 --> 00:11:30,680
Arguments will start.
273
00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:32,367
Should he commit suicide or should he not?
274
00:11:32,387 --> 00:11:34,210
People will write in pleading with him.
275
00:11:34,230 --> 00:11:35,043
But no.
276
00:11:35,063 --> 00:11:35,877
No, sir.
277
00:11:35,897 --> 00:11:37,250
John Doe will remain adamant.
278
00:11:37,270 --> 00:11:40,267
On Christmas Eve, hot or cold, he goes.
279
00:11:40,287 --> 00:11:41,287
See?
280
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,410
Very pretty.
281
00:11:44,430 --> 00:11:46,310
Very pretty indeed, Miss Mitchell.
282
00:11:46,330 --> 00:11:49,080
But would you mind telling
me who goes on Christmas Eve?
283
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:50,452
- John Doe.
- What John Doe?
284
00:11:50,472 --> 00:11:52,608
The one we hire for the job, you lunkhead.
285
00:11:52,628 --> 00:11:53,919
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
286
00:11:53,939 --> 00:11:56,240
Let me get this through
this lame brain of mine.
287
00:11:56,260 --> 00:11:58,030
Are you suggesting we
go out and hire someone
288
00:11:58,050 --> 00:11:59,660
to say he's gonna commit
suicide on Christmas Eve?
289
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:01,498
Is that it?
- Why, you're catching on.
290
00:12:01,518 --> 00:12:03,190
- Who, for instance?
- Anybody.
291
00:12:03,210 --> 00:12:04,350
Beany'll do.
292
00:12:04,370 --> 00:12:05,920
Why, sure...
293
00:12:05,940 --> 00:12:06,881
Who, me?
294
00:12:06,901 --> 00:12:08,010
Jump off a...
295
00:12:08,030 --> 00:12:08,844
Oh, no.
296
00:12:08,864 --> 00:12:10,544
Any time but Christmas, I'm superstitious.
297
00:12:15,739 --> 00:12:16,708
Miss Mitchell, do me a favor, will you?
298
00:12:16,728 --> 00:12:19,100
Go on out and get married
and have a lotta babies,
299
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,587
but stay outta newspaper business.
300
00:12:20,607 --> 00:12:23,390
Better get that story
in, Hank, it's getting late.
301
00:12:23,410 --> 00:12:24,770
You're supposed to be a smart guy.
302
00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:26,090
If it was raining $100 bills,
303
00:12:26,110 --> 00:12:29,040
you'd be out looking for
a dime you lost some place.
304
00:12:29,060 --> 00:12:31,660
Holy smokes, wasting my time
listening to this mad woman.
305
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:32,494
Look, Chief.
306
00:12:32,514 --> 00:12:33,850
Look what the Chronicle's
running on John Doe.
307
00:12:33,870 --> 00:12:35,110
They say it's a fake.
308
00:12:35,130 --> 00:12:36,187
Why, the no good...
309
00:12:37,730 --> 00:12:40,410
John Doe story amateur journalism.
310
00:12:40,430 --> 00:12:41,321
It's palpably phony.
311
00:12:41,341 --> 00:12:43,840
It's a wonder anyone
is taking it seriously.
312
00:12:43,860 --> 00:12:44,811
What do you think of those guys?
313
00:12:44,831 --> 00:12:46,160
That's fine, that's fine.
314
00:12:46,180 --> 00:12:47,790
Now, fall right into their lap.
315
00:12:47,810 --> 00:12:49,770
Go ahead, say John Doe walked in
316
00:12:49,790 --> 00:12:50,860
and called the whole thing off.
317
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,290
You know what that's gonna
sound like on top of this.
318
00:12:53,310 --> 00:12:54,359
That's all, Ned, thank you.
319
00:12:54,379 --> 00:12:55,379
All right.
320
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,940
Amateur journalism, huh?
321
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,750
Why, that bunch of sophomores.
322
00:13:00,770 --> 00:13:02,310
I can teach them more about...
323
00:13:02,330 --> 00:13:04,280
Hey, boss, get a load of this.
324
00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:05,467
- What?
- Look.
325
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:10,854
What do they want?
326
00:13:10,874 --> 00:13:12,594
They all say they
wrote the John Doe letter.
327
00:13:14,010 --> 00:13:15,450
Oh, they all wrote the letter.
328
00:13:15,470 --> 00:13:16,514
Tell them all to wait.
329
00:13:16,534 --> 00:13:19,080
Look, Mr. Connell, one of
those men is your John Doe.
330
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:21,310
They're desperate and will do
anything for a cup of coffee.
331
00:13:21,330 --> 00:13:24,510
Pick one out and you can make
the chronicle eat their words.
332
00:13:24,530 --> 00:13:25,975
I'm beginning to like this.
333
00:13:25,995 --> 00:13:29,020
If you ask me, Hank, you're
playing around with dynamite.
334
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,560
No, no, no, no, no, the gal's right.
335
00:13:30,580 --> 00:13:32,530
We can't let the Chronicle
get the laugh on us.
336
00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:34,320
We've gotta produce a John Doe now.
337
00:13:34,340 --> 00:13:36,110
Amateur journalism, huh?
338
00:13:36,130 --> 00:13:37,101
I'll show those guys.
339
00:13:37,121 --> 00:13:38,360
Sure, and there's no reason
340
00:13:38,380 --> 00:13:39,920
for them to find out the truth either
341
00:13:39,940 --> 00:13:42,253
because, naturally, I won't say anything.
342
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,993
Okay, sister, you get your job back.
343
00:13:46,013 --> 00:13:47,270
Plus a bonus.
344
00:13:47,290 --> 00:13:48,104
What bonus?
345
00:13:48,124 --> 00:13:50,650
Oh, the bonus of $1,000 the
Chronicle was going to pay me
346
00:13:50,670 --> 00:13:52,020
for this little document.
347
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:52,991
You'll find that it says that,
348
00:13:53,011 --> 00:13:54,440
I, Ann Mitchell, hereby certify
349
00:13:54,460 --> 00:13:56,258
that the John Doe letter
was created by me...
350
00:13:56,278 --> 00:13:57,640
I can read, I can read.
351
00:13:57,660 --> 00:13:58,660
Sorry.
352
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,047
You think this is worth $1,000, do you?
353
00:14:02,067 --> 00:14:05,150
Oh, the Chronicle would
consider it dirt cheap.
354
00:14:05,170 --> 00:14:07,610
Packs everything, including a gun.
355
00:14:07,630 --> 00:14:09,580
Okay, sister, you got yourself a deal.
356
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,250
Now, let's take a look at the candidates.
357
00:14:11,270 --> 00:14:13,820
The one we pick has gotta
be the typical average man,
358
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,644
typical American that
can keep his mouth shut.
359
00:14:15,664 --> 00:14:16,709
Show me an American who can
360
00:14:16,729 --> 00:14:18,209
keep his mouth shut and I'll eat him.
361
00:14:20,945 --> 00:14:22,545
Okay, Beany, bring 'em in one at a time.
362
00:15:26,453 --> 00:15:28,183
Did you write that letter to Miss Mitchell?
363
00:15:29,060 --> 00:15:30,188
No, I didn't.
364
00:15:30,208 --> 00:15:32,446
What are you doin' up here then?
365
00:15:32,466 --> 00:15:34,390
Well, the paper said there
were some jobs around loose.
366
00:15:34,410 --> 00:15:36,086
Thought there might be one left over.
367
00:15:36,106 --> 00:15:37,106
Had any schooling?
368
00:15:38,060 --> 00:15:39,790
Yeah, a little.
369
00:15:39,810 --> 00:15:41,620
What do you do when you work?
370
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,190
- I used to pitch.
- Baseball?
371
00:15:44,396 --> 00:15:46,630
Yeah, till my wing went bad.
372
00:15:46,650 --> 00:15:47,650
Where'd you play?
373
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,480
Bush leagues, mostly.
374
00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:52,550
How about family, got any family?
375
00:15:52,570 --> 00:15:53,541
No.
376
00:15:53,561 --> 00:15:55,150
Oh, just traveling through, huh?
377
00:15:55,170 --> 00:15:57,190
Yep, me and a friend of mine.
378
00:15:57,210 --> 00:15:58,210
He's outside.
379
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:03,574
Looks all right.
380
00:16:03,594 --> 00:16:05,144
He's perfect, a baseball player.
381
00:16:05,164 --> 00:16:06,958
What could be more American?
382
00:16:06,978 --> 00:16:07,943
Wish he had a family though.
383
00:16:07,963 --> 00:16:10,166
Be less complicated without a family.
384
00:16:10,186 --> 00:16:11,980
Look at that face, it's wonderful.
385
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:12,814
They'll believe him.
386
00:16:12,834 --> 00:16:16,020
Come on.
387
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:16,981
What's your name?
388
00:16:17,001 --> 00:16:18,720
Willoughby, John Willoughby.
389
00:16:18,740 --> 00:16:21,140
Long John Willoughby they
called me in baseball.
390
00:16:22,813 --> 00:16:24,433
Would you like to make some money?
391
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:28,750
Yeah, maybe.
392
00:16:28,770 --> 00:16:30,050
Would you be willing to say you wrote
393
00:16:30,070 --> 00:16:32,443
that letter and stick by it?
394
00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:38,483
I get the idea.
395
00:16:39,875 --> 00:16:41,713
Yeah, maybe.
396
00:16:46,459 --> 00:16:47,820
That's our man, he's made to order.
397
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:48,840
I don't know,
398
00:16:48,860 --> 00:16:49,860
he don't seem like the kind of a guy
399
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:50,816
that would fall in line.
400
00:16:50,836 --> 00:16:51,650
When you're desperate for money,
401
00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:53,130
you do a lotta things, Mr. Connell.
402
00:16:53,150 --> 00:16:55,145
He's our man, I tell you.
403
00:16:55,165 --> 00:16:56,248
He's fainted!
404
00:16:57,090 --> 00:16:58,210
Get some water, quickly.
405
00:16:58,230 --> 00:16:59,890
Hurry up, Pop.
406
00:16:59,910 --> 00:17:00,724
Why don't you sit down?
407
00:17:00,744 --> 00:17:02,320
Are you all right?
408
00:17:02,340 --> 00:17:03,733
Yeah, I'm all right.
409
00:17:04,613 --> 00:17:06,083
How many is that, six?
410
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:18,227
Pretty hungry, weren't you?
411
00:17:19,787 --> 00:17:21,260
Say all this John Doe
412
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,680
business is batty if you ask me.
413
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:23,950
Well, nobody asked you.
414
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:27,530
Trying to improve the world
by jumping off buildings.
415
00:17:27,550 --> 00:17:28,364
You couldn't improve the world
416
00:17:28,384 --> 00:17:30,023
if the buildings jumped on you.
417
00:17:30,890 --> 00:17:32,140
Don't mind the Colonel, he hates people.
418
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,990
He likes you well enough to stick around.
419
00:17:35,010 --> 00:17:37,210
Oh, that's 'cause we both play doohickeys.
420
00:17:38,780 --> 00:17:40,670
I met him in a boxcar
a couple of years ago.
421
00:17:40,690 --> 00:17:41,780
I was fooling around with my harmonica,
422
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,930
and he comes over and joins in.
423
00:17:43,950 --> 00:17:45,900
I haven't been able to shake him since.
424
00:18:07,690 --> 00:18:08,591
All right, boys, here he is.
425
00:18:08,611 --> 00:18:10,850
No, no, no, you can't take
pictures of him like that,
426
00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:12,713
eating a sandwich and with a beard.
427
00:18:12,733 --> 00:18:13,547
But he's gonna jump off a building.
428
00:18:13,567 --> 00:18:15,200
Yes, but not because he's out of a job.
429
00:18:15,220 --> 00:18:16,034
That's not news.
430
00:18:16,054 --> 00:18:18,390
This man's going to jump
as a matter of principle.
431
00:18:18,410 --> 00:18:19,224
- Maybe you're right.
- We'll clean him up
432
00:18:19,244 --> 00:18:20,700
and put him a hotel room, under bodyguards.
433
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,230
We'll make a mystery out of him.
434
00:18:22,250 --> 00:18:23,280
Do you speak to Mr. Norton?
435
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:24,141
Thinks it's terrific.
436
00:18:24,161 --> 00:18:25,230
Says for us to go the limit.
437
00:18:25,250 --> 00:18:26,064
Wants us to build a bonfire
438
00:18:26,084 --> 00:18:27,975
under every big shot in the state.
439
00:18:27,995 --> 00:18:29,100
Oh, swell, is that the contract?
440
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:30,162
Yes.
441
00:18:30,182 --> 00:18:31,766
What's he doing here?
- Friend of his.
442
00:18:31,786 --> 00:18:33,572
They play duets together.
443
00:18:33,592 --> 00:18:34,405
Duets?
444
00:18:34,425 --> 00:18:35,239
But can we trust him?
445
00:18:35,259 --> 00:18:36,780
- Oh.
- I trust him.
446
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:37,790
Oh, you trust him, eh?
447
00:18:37,810 --> 00:18:38,820
Well, that's fine.
448
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:39,890
I suppose he trusts you, too?
449
00:18:39,910 --> 00:18:40,958
Oh, stop worrying.
450
00:18:40,978 --> 00:18:41,792
He's all right.
451
00:18:41,812 --> 00:18:43,100
Well, okay, but we don't want more
452
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:45,122
than a couple of hundred
people in on this thing.
453
00:18:45,142 --> 00:18:47,140
Now, the first thing I
want is an exact copy
454
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,150
of the John Doe letter
in your own handwriting.
455
00:18:49,170 --> 00:18:50,884
I got it all ready, here.
456
00:18:50,904 --> 00:18:52,630
Now, that's fine.
457
00:18:52,650 --> 00:18:54,890
Now, I want you to sign this agreement.
458
00:18:54,910 --> 00:18:57,480
It gives us an exclusive
story under your name
459
00:18:57,500 --> 00:18:59,663
day by day from now until Christmas.
460
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,550
On December 26th you get one
railroad ticket out of town,
461
00:19:04,570 --> 00:19:07,100
and the Bulletin agrees to
pay to have your arm fixed.
462
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:08,006
That's what you want, isn't it?
463
00:19:08,026 --> 00:19:09,870
Yeah, but it's got to
be by Bone-Setter Brown.
464
00:19:09,890 --> 00:19:11,730
Okay, Bone-Setter Brown goes.
465
00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:12,960
Here, sign it.
466
00:19:12,980 --> 00:19:15,053
Meanwhile, here's $50 for spending money.
467
00:19:16,110 --> 00:19:17,031
That's fine.
468
00:19:17,051 --> 00:19:18,110
Beany?
- Yes, boss?
469
00:19:18,130 --> 00:19:19,068
Take charge of him.
470
00:19:19,088 --> 00:19:21,450
Get him a suite at the Imperial
and hire some bodyguards.
471
00:19:21,470 --> 00:19:23,117
Yeah, and some new clothes, Beany.
472
00:19:23,137 --> 00:19:24,610
Do you think we better have him deloused?
473
00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:25,740
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
474
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:26,573
Both of 'em?
475
00:19:26,593 --> 00:19:27,407
Yes, both of 'em.
476
00:19:27,427 --> 00:19:28,780
But don't let 'em out of your sight.
477
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,150
Hey, Beany, gray suit, huh?
478
00:19:30,170 --> 00:19:30,983
Yeah.
479
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:32,003
Okay, fellas.
480
00:19:36,660 --> 00:19:39,290
And you, start pounding that typewriter.
481
00:19:39,310 --> 00:19:40,950
Oh boy, this is terrific.
482
00:19:40,970 --> 00:19:42,270
No responsibilities on our part.
483
00:19:42,290 --> 00:19:43,560
Just statements from John Doe
484
00:19:43,580 --> 00:19:44,458
and we can blast our heads off.
485
00:19:44,478 --> 00:19:46,110
Before you pop too many buttons,
486
00:19:46,130 --> 00:19:49,060
don't forget to make out
that check for 1,000.
487
00:19:52,393 --> 00:19:54,230
Okay fellas, now let me see.
488
00:19:54,250 --> 00:19:55,201
You sit outside the door.
489
00:19:55,221 --> 00:19:56,283
Nobody comes in, see.
490
00:19:56,303 --> 00:19:57,790
You two fellas sit in here.
491
00:19:57,810 --> 00:19:59,270
Hey, pretty nifty, huh?
492
00:20:01,220 --> 00:20:02,670
You ain't gonna get me to stay here.
493
00:20:02,690 --> 00:20:03,504
Sure you are.
494
00:20:03,524 --> 00:20:04,940
No sir, that spot under the bridge
495
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,850
where we slept last
night's good enough for me.
496
00:20:07,870 --> 00:20:09,260
Hey, what do I do with this baggage?
497
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,094
Oh, stick 'em in the bedroom.
498
00:20:10,114 --> 00:20:11,490
Give me mine, I ain't stayin'.
499
00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:15,160
You know, we were headed for
the Columbia River country
500
00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:17,240
before all this John Doe business came up.
501
00:20:17,260 --> 00:20:18,380
You remember that, don't you?
502
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,740
Sure, I remember.
503
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,479
Say, did your ears pop
coming up in the elevator?
504
00:20:21,499 --> 00:20:22,313
Mine did.
505
00:20:22,333 --> 00:20:23,734
Oh, Long John, I tell ya, it's no good.
506
00:20:23,754 --> 00:20:24,967
You're gonna get used to a lotta stuff
507
00:20:24,987 --> 00:20:26,400
that's gonna wreck you.
508
00:20:26,420 --> 00:20:27,820
Why, that $50 in your pocket's
509
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,280
beginning to show up on you already.
510
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,520
And don't pull that on me neither.
511
00:20:31,540 --> 00:20:32,354
Stop worrying, Colonel.
512
00:20:32,374 --> 00:20:33,980
I'm gonna get my arm fixed outta this.
513
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,290
Hey, here's some cigars the boss sent us.
514
00:20:36,310 --> 00:20:37,141
Have one.
- Hey, cigars.
515
00:20:37,161 --> 00:20:38,310
- Help yourself.
- No.
516
00:20:48,270 --> 00:20:49,630
Hey, I'll bet ya even the Major Leaguers
517
00:20:49,650 --> 00:20:51,150
don't rate an outfit like this.
518
00:20:51,170 --> 00:20:52,470
Here, make yourself comfortable.
519
00:20:52,490 --> 00:20:53,983
Paper?
520
00:20:54,003 --> 00:20:54,996
No, I don't read no papers
521
00:20:55,016 --> 00:20:57,070
and I don't listen to radios either.
522
00:20:57,090 --> 00:20:59,010
I know the world's been
shaved by a drunken barber
523
00:20:59,030 --> 00:21:00,430
and I don't have to read it.
524
00:21:03,515 --> 00:21:05,820
I've seen guys like you go under before.
525
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,430
Guys that never had a worry,
526
00:21:07,450 --> 00:21:09,340
then they got a hold of
some dough and went goofy.
527
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:10,536
The first thing that happens to a guy...
528
00:21:10,556 --> 00:21:11,930
Hey, did you get a load of the bedroom?
529
00:21:11,950 --> 00:21:12,950
No.
530
00:21:13,790 --> 00:21:15,640
The first thing that
happens to a guy like that,
531
00:21:15,660 --> 00:21:17,017
he starts wanting to go into restaurants
532
00:21:17,037 --> 00:21:22,037
and sit down at a table and eat
salads and cupcakes and tea.
533
00:21:22,140 --> 00:21:24,643
Boy, what that kinda
food does to your system.
534
00:21:29,420 --> 00:21:31,710
The next thing the dope wants is a room.
535
00:21:31,730 --> 00:21:35,224
Yes sir, a room with steam
heat, and curtains and rugs.
536
00:21:35,244 --> 00:21:36,537
And before you know it,
he's all softened up
537
00:21:36,557 --> 00:21:39,330
and he can't sleep unless he has a bed.
538
00:21:39,350 --> 00:21:40,350
Hey, stop worrying, Colonel.
539
00:21:40,370 --> 00:21:41,800
50 bucks ain't gonna ruin me.
540
00:21:41,820 --> 00:21:44,120
I've seen plenty of fellas
start out with 50 bucks
541
00:21:44,140 --> 00:21:45,730
and wind up with a bank account.
542
00:21:45,750 --> 00:21:47,590
Hey, what's a matter
with a bank account anyway?
543
00:21:47,610 --> 00:21:49,360
You let me tell you, Long John,
544
00:21:49,380 --> 00:21:53,080
when you become a guy with
a bank account, they gotcha.
545
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:54,687
Yes sir, they gotcha.
546
00:21:56,340 --> 00:21:57,154
Who's got him?
547
00:21:57,174 --> 00:21:58,423
The heelots.
548
00:21:58,443 --> 00:21:59,257
Who?
549
00:21:59,277 --> 00:22:01,030
Hey, there's the City Hall tower
550
00:22:01,050 --> 00:22:02,353
I'm supposed to jump off of.
551
00:22:02,373 --> 00:22:04,130
It's even higher than this.
552
00:22:04,150 --> 00:22:05,217
Who's got him?
553
00:22:05,237 --> 00:22:06,939
The heelots.
554
00:22:06,959 --> 00:22:08,370
Woo.
555
00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:10,370
Hey, wait a minute.
556
00:22:10,390 --> 00:22:11,933
You're not supposed to
jump till Christmas Eve.
557
00:22:11,953 --> 00:22:14,068
Do you wanna get me in a jam?
558
00:22:14,088 --> 00:22:16,190
If it's gonna get you in
a jam, I'll do you a favor.
559
00:22:16,210 --> 00:22:17,210
I won't jump.
560
00:22:18,790 --> 00:22:19,993
And when they got you,
561
00:22:20,013 --> 00:22:22,510
you got no more chance than a road rabbit.
562
00:22:22,530 --> 00:22:24,212
Hey, who'd you say was gonna get him?
563
00:22:24,232 --> 00:22:25,151
Say, is this one of those places
564
00:22:25,171 --> 00:22:26,440
where you ring if you want something?
565
00:22:26,460 --> 00:22:28,480
Yeah, yeah, just use the phone.
566
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:30,240
Boy, I've always wanted to do this.
567
00:22:30,260 --> 00:22:31,450
Hey, Doc, look.
568
00:22:31,470 --> 00:22:32,470
Look, Doc.
569
00:22:33,170 --> 00:22:35,020
Gimme that again, will ya?
570
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,383
Who's gonna get him?
571
00:22:36,403 --> 00:22:38,240
The heelots.
572
00:22:38,260 --> 00:22:39,680
Who are they?
573
00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:41,320
Listen, sucker, you ever been broke?
574
00:22:41,340 --> 00:22:43,247
- Sure, mostly often.
- All right.
575
00:22:43,267 --> 00:22:46,080
You're walking along, not
a nickel in your jeans,
576
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:47,910
you're free as the wind,
nobody bothers you.
577
00:22:47,930 --> 00:22:50,370
Hundreds of people pass you
by in every line of business,
578
00:22:50,390 --> 00:22:53,273
shoes, hats, automobiles,
radios, furniture, everything.
579
00:22:53,293 --> 00:22:55,960
They're all nice lovable
people and they let you alone.
580
00:22:55,980 --> 00:22:57,393
Is that right?
581
00:22:58,536 --> 00:23:01,036
Then you get a hold of some
dough and what happens?
582
00:23:01,990 --> 00:23:05,990
All those nice, sweet,
lovable people become heelots.
583
00:23:06,010 --> 00:23:07,463
A lotta heels.
584
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,626
They begin creeping up on you,
trying to sell you something.
585
00:23:12,646 --> 00:23:16,227
They got long claws and they
get a stranglehold on you.
586
00:23:16,247 --> 00:23:18,440
And you squirm and you duck and you holler
587
00:23:18,460 --> 00:23:19,371
and you try to push 'em away,
588
00:23:19,391 --> 00:23:21,890
but you haven't got a
chance, they've got you.
589
00:23:21,910 --> 00:23:23,850
First thing you know, you own things.
590
00:23:23,870 --> 00:23:25,710
A car, for instance.
591
00:23:25,730 --> 00:23:27,080
Now your whole life is messed up
592
00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:28,760
with a lot more stuff.
593
00:23:28,780 --> 00:23:31,510
You got license fees and number plates
594
00:23:31,530 --> 00:23:34,890
and gas and oil and taxes and insurance
595
00:23:34,910 --> 00:23:37,130
and identification cards and letters
596
00:23:37,150 --> 00:23:39,950
and bills and flat tires and
dents and traffic tickets
597
00:23:39,970 --> 00:23:43,120
and motorcycle cops and
courtrooms and lawyers and fines
598
00:23:43,140 --> 00:23:45,918
and a-million-and-one other things.
599
00:23:45,938 --> 00:23:46,938
Then what happens?
600
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:51,220
You're not the free and
happy guy you used to be.
601
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,080
You gotta have money to
pay for all those things.
602
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:56,970
So, you go after what
the other fella's got.
603
00:23:56,990 --> 00:23:59,863
And there you are,
you're a heelot yourself.
604
00:24:07,530 --> 00:24:09,433
You win, Colonel, here, take the 50.
605
00:24:10,972 --> 00:24:11,901
Go out and get rid of it.
606
00:24:11,921 --> 00:24:14,285
You bet I will, just as fast as I can.
607
00:24:14,305 --> 00:24:16,290
I'm gonna get some canned
goods, a fishing rod,
608
00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:18,600
and the rest I'm gonna give away.
609
00:24:18,620 --> 00:24:20,010
Give away?
610
00:24:20,030 --> 00:24:21,550
Hey, get me a pitcher's glove.
611
00:24:21,570 --> 00:24:23,800
I gotta get me some practice.
612
00:24:23,820 --> 00:24:26,240
Say, he's giving it away,
I'm gonna get me some of that.
613
00:24:26,260 --> 00:24:28,147
Hey, come back here, you heelot.
614
00:24:30,863 --> 00:24:34,820
Will you send up five
hamburgers with all the trimmings,
615
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,600
five chocolate ice cream sodas,
616
00:24:37,620 --> 00:24:39,070
and five pieces of apple pie?
617
00:24:39,990 --> 00:24:41,893
No, apple, with cheese.
618
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:43,980
Yeah, thanks.
619
00:24:57,790 --> 00:24:58,790
Hello there.
620
00:25:01,304 --> 00:25:05,150
Well, if it isn't the man about town.
621
00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:06,110
All set, Miss Ann?
622
00:25:06,130 --> 00:25:07,130
Hmm?
623
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,503
Oh, oh yes, let's go.
624
00:25:11,850 --> 00:25:13,700
Let's see, we want some
action in these pictures.
625
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:14,913
- Action?
- Mm-hmm.
626
00:25:17,476 --> 00:25:18,431
- That's good.
- No, no, no.
627
00:25:18,451 --> 00:25:20,760
This man's going to jump off a roof.
628
00:25:20,780 --> 00:25:23,070
Here, wait a minute, let me comb your hair.
629
00:25:23,090 --> 00:25:24,090
Sit down.
630
00:25:28,330 --> 00:25:29,823
There, that's better.
631
00:25:37,297 --> 00:25:39,650
You know, he's got a nice face, hasn't he?
632
00:25:39,670 --> 00:25:42,974
Yeah, he's pretty.
633
00:25:42,994 --> 00:25:44,230
Here, sit down.
634
00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:45,373
Quiet, egghead.
635
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:48,160
All right, now a serious expression.
636
00:25:49,060 --> 00:25:49,874
I can't, I'm feeling too good.
637
00:25:49,894 --> 00:25:51,470
Oh, come on now, this is serious.
638
00:25:51,490 --> 00:25:54,210
You're a man disgusted
with all of civilization.
639
00:25:54,230 --> 00:25:55,061
With all of it?
640
00:25:55,081 --> 00:25:57,810
Yes, you're sore at the world, come on now.
641
00:25:57,830 --> 00:25:59,380
- Oh, crabby guy, huh?
- Yeah.
642
00:26:02,430 --> 00:26:03,430
No, no.
643
00:26:05,788 --> 00:26:09,310
No.
644
00:26:09,330 --> 00:26:10,301
No, look.
645
00:26:10,321 --> 00:26:12,488
You don't have to smell the world.
646
00:26:14,424 --> 00:26:15,341
With all those guys
in the bleachers think...
647
00:26:15,361 --> 00:26:16,600
Nevermind those guys.
648
00:26:16,620 --> 00:26:18,060
All right, stand up.
649
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,950
Now, let's see what you
look like when you protest.
650
00:26:20,970 --> 00:26:21,931
Against what?
651
00:26:21,951 --> 00:26:23,733
Against anything, just protest.
652
00:26:25,450 --> 00:26:26,537
You got me.
653
00:26:26,557 --> 00:26:28,500
Oh, look, I'm the umpire
654
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,890
and you just cut the heart of
the plate with your fast one
655
00:26:30,910 --> 00:26:31,741
and I called it a ball.
656
00:26:31,761 --> 00:26:33,110
What would you do?
657
00:26:33,130 --> 00:26:34,070
Oh you did, huh?
658
00:26:34,090 --> 00:26:35,021
Yeah.
659
00:26:35,041 --> 00:26:37,037
Why can't you call 'em right,
you boneheaded big-eared...
660
00:26:37,057 --> 00:26:39,788
Grab it, Eddie, grab it.
661
00:26:46,146 --> 00:26:48,729
Extra, extra!
662
00:27:02,796 --> 00:27:03,796
Extra.
663
00:27:04,901 --> 00:27:05,984
Extra, extra!
664
00:27:31,710 --> 00:27:34,370
I don't care whose
picture they're publishing.
665
00:27:34,390 --> 00:27:37,630
I still say that this
John Doe person is a myth,
666
00:27:37,650 --> 00:27:39,830
and you can quote me on that.
667
00:27:39,850 --> 00:27:40,791
And I'm going to insist
668
00:27:40,811 --> 00:27:43,180
on his being produced for questioning.
669
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,970
You know as well as I
do that this whole thing
670
00:27:45,990 --> 00:27:48,720
is being engineered by a vicious man
671
00:27:48,740 --> 00:27:52,721
with a vicious purpose, Mr. D.B. Norton.
672
00:28:15,496 --> 00:28:17,150
Mr. Connell and Miss
Mitchell are at the house, sir.
673
00:28:17,170 --> 00:28:18,160
Oh, they are?
674
00:28:18,180 --> 00:28:19,413
All right, come on.
675
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:22,521
Personally, I think it's just
676
00:28:22,541 --> 00:28:23,880
plain stupidity to drop it now.
677
00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:25,477
You should see his fan mail, thousands.
678
00:28:25,497 --> 00:28:27,970
Why, it's going over like a house afire.
679
00:28:27,990 --> 00:28:29,450
What are you afraid of, Connell?
680
00:28:29,470 --> 00:28:30,880
It's doubled our circulation.
681
00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:32,510
Yeah, but it's got everybody sore.
682
00:28:32,530 --> 00:28:33,720
Ads are being pulled.
683
00:28:33,740 --> 00:28:35,280
The governor's starting a libel suit.
684
00:28:35,300 --> 00:28:37,233
What's more, they all
know John Doe's a phony,
685
00:28:37,253 --> 00:28:38,420
and they insist on seeing him.
- Well, what about it?
686
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,274
Let them see him.
687
00:28:39,294 --> 00:28:40,976
We'll go 'em one better,
they can also hear him.
688
00:28:40,996 --> 00:28:41,809
You own a radio station, Mr. Norton.
689
00:28:41,829 --> 00:28:42,751
Why not put him on the air?
690
00:28:42,771 --> 00:28:44,273
Watch out for this dame,
D.B., she'll drive you batty.
691
00:28:44,293 --> 00:28:45,740
- Oh...
- Look, we can't let 'em
692
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,690
get to this bush-league
pitcher and start pumping him.
693
00:28:47,710 --> 00:28:48,601
Good night.
694
00:28:48,621 --> 00:28:50,680
No telling what that screwball might do.
695
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:52,200
I walked in yesterday, here he is,
696
00:28:52,220 --> 00:28:55,490
standing on a table with a
fishing pole, fly-casting.
697
00:28:55,510 --> 00:28:56,880
Take my advice and get him outta town
698
00:28:56,900 --> 00:28:57,714
before this thing explodes in our faces.
699
00:28:57,734 --> 00:28:58,820
If you do, Mr. Norton,
700
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,660
you're just as much of
a dumb cluck as he is.
701
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:01,493
Excuse me.
702
00:29:01,513 --> 00:29:02,326
No, you've got yourself a meal ticket
703
00:29:02,346 --> 00:29:03,160
and you hate to let go.
704
00:29:03,180 --> 00:29:04,310
Sure, it's a meal
ticket for me, I admit it.
705
00:29:04,330 --> 00:29:06,350
But it's also a windfall
for somebody like Mr. Norton
706
00:29:06,370 --> 00:29:08,110
who's trying to crash national politics.
707
00:29:08,130 --> 00:29:09,590
That's what you bought the
newspaper for, isn't it?
708
00:29:09,610 --> 00:29:11,120
You wanna reach a lotta people, don't you?
709
00:29:11,140 --> 00:29:12,240
Well, put John Doe on the air
710
00:29:12,260 --> 00:29:14,005
and you can reach 130 million of 'em.
711
00:29:14,025 --> 00:29:16,230
He can say anything he wants
and they'll listen to him.
712
00:29:16,250 --> 00:29:17,970
All right, we'll forget
the Governor and the Mayor
713
00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:19,540
and all the small fry like that.
714
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,150
This can arouse national interest.
715
00:29:21,170 --> 00:29:21,984
If he made a hit around here,
716
00:29:22,004 --> 00:29:24,330
he can do it everyplace
else in the country.
717
00:29:24,350 --> 00:29:27,100
And you'll be pulling
the strings, Mr. Norton.
718
00:29:29,978 --> 00:29:32,018
Go down to the office and
arrange for some radio time.
719
00:29:32,038 --> 00:29:32,852
Why, D.B., you're not gonna fall...
720
00:29:32,872 --> 00:29:35,538
I want it as soon as possible.
721
00:29:37,970 --> 00:29:38,811
Okay.
722
00:29:38,831 --> 00:29:41,140
I just came in to get warm, myself.
723
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,160
Come on, let's go.
724
00:29:43,070 --> 00:29:44,180
Don't you go.
725
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,200
I wanna talk to you.
726
00:29:52,140 --> 00:29:53,140
Sit down.
727
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,652
Hey, this John Doe idea was yours, huh?
728
00:30:13,672 --> 00:30:14,672
Yes sir.
729
00:30:20,947 --> 00:30:22,525
How much money do you get?
730
00:30:22,545 --> 00:30:23,545
$30.
731
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,320
$30.
732
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,220
Well then, what are you after?
733
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,439
I mean what do you want,
a journalistic career?
734
00:30:31,459 --> 00:30:32,459
Money.
735
00:30:33,310 --> 00:30:34,202
Money.
736
00:30:34,222 --> 00:30:36,473
Well, I'm glad to hear somebody admit it.
737
00:30:39,759 --> 00:30:42,452
Do you suppose you could
write a radio speech
738
00:30:42,472 --> 00:30:44,165
that would put that fellow over?
739
00:30:44,185 --> 00:30:44,999
Oh, I'm sure I can.
740
00:30:45,019 --> 00:30:47,347
Do it, and I'll give you $100 a week.
741
00:30:47,367 --> 00:30:48,181
$100...
742
00:30:48,201 --> 00:30:49,800
That's only the beginning.
743
00:30:49,820 --> 00:30:50,634
You play your cards right
744
00:30:50,654 --> 00:30:53,610
and you'll never have to
worry about money again.
745
00:30:53,630 --> 00:30:54,597
Oh, I knew it.
746
00:30:54,617 --> 00:30:55,571
- Hello.
- Hello.
747
00:30:55,591 --> 00:30:57,960
Whenever there's a pretty woman around...
748
00:30:57,980 --> 00:30:59,960
This is my nephew, Ted
Sheldon, Miss Mitchell.
749
00:30:59,980 --> 00:31:01,240
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
750
00:31:01,260 --> 00:31:02,720
All right, Casanova, I'll give you a break.
751
00:31:02,740 --> 00:31:05,390
See that Miss Mitchell gets
a car to take her home.
752
00:31:05,410 --> 00:31:07,840
Always reading my mind, aren't you?
753
00:31:07,860 --> 00:31:09,633
Thank you very much for everything.
754
00:31:10,561 --> 00:31:12,390
And, Miss Mitchell,
755
00:31:12,410 --> 00:31:15,520
I think from now on you'd
better work directly with me.
756
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:16,540
Yes, sir.
757
00:31:50,638 --> 00:31:51,638
Hey!
758
00:31:52,539 --> 00:31:53,621
I thought you were asleep.
759
00:31:53,641 --> 00:31:54,454
We just wanted to say good night.
760
00:31:54,474 --> 00:31:55,474
Goodnight sis.
761
00:31:56,300 --> 00:31:58,536
Oh, you little brats, you're just stalling.
762
00:31:58,556 --> 00:31:59,973
I said goodnight.
763
00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:01,940
Come, come, come, children.
764
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,046
It's past your bedtime.
765
00:32:03,066 --> 00:32:04,567
Go on, go on.
766
00:32:04,587 --> 00:32:07,566
- Come on, pooch, come on.
- Come on, come on.
767
00:32:07,586 --> 00:32:08,400
Now scooch off to bed.
768
00:32:08,420 --> 00:32:10,050
Stick a fork through me, I'm done.
769
00:32:10,070 --> 00:32:11,550
I'll never get this speech right.
770
00:32:11,570 --> 00:32:13,000
Oh, yes you will, Ann, dear.
771
00:32:13,020 --> 00:32:14,303
You're very clever.
772
00:32:14,323 --> 00:32:15,610
Yeah, I know.
773
00:32:15,630 --> 00:32:16,718
What are you looking for?
774
00:32:16,738 --> 00:32:18,880
- Your purse, I need $10.
- What for?
775
00:32:18,900 --> 00:32:20,860
I gave you $50 just the other day.
776
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,300
- Yes, I know, dear, but Mrs.
Burke had her baby yesterday.
777
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:24,811
Nine pounds.
778
00:32:24,831 --> 00:32:26,590
And there wasn't a thing in the house.
779
00:32:26,610 --> 00:32:28,049
And then the Community Chest lady came...
780
00:32:28,069 --> 00:32:29,419
And 50's all gone, huh?
781
00:32:29,439 --> 00:32:30,720
Who is the 10 for?
782
00:32:30,740 --> 00:32:32,140
- The Websters.
- The Websters.
783
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,390
You remember, those lovely people
784
00:32:33,410 --> 00:32:35,140
your father used to take care of?
785
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,220
I thought I'd buy them some groceries.
786
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,070
Oh, Ann, dear, it's a shame, those poor...
787
00:32:39,090 --> 00:32:40,120
You're marvelous, Ma.
788
00:32:40,140 --> 00:32:41,780
You're just like Father used to be.
789
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,410
Do you realize a couple of weeks ago
790
00:32:43,430 --> 00:32:45,110
we didn't have enough to eat ourselves?
791
00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:48,240
Well, yes, I know, dear, but
these people are in such need
792
00:32:48,260 --> 00:32:49,101
and we have plenty now.
793
00:32:49,121 --> 00:32:50,690
If you're thinking of
that $1,000, forget it.
794
00:32:50,710 --> 00:32:51,810
It's practically all gone.
795
00:32:51,830 --> 00:32:53,060
We owed everybody in town.
796
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,860
Now, you just gotta stop
giving all your money away.
797
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,400
Oh, Ann, dear.
798
00:32:57,420 --> 00:32:58,810
Oh, I'm sorry, Ma.
799
00:32:58,830 --> 00:33:00,550
Oh, don't pay any attention to me.
800
00:33:00,570 --> 00:33:02,673
I guess I'm just upset about all this.
801
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:04,451
Gee whiz, here I am with
802
00:33:04,471 --> 00:33:05,670
a great opportunity to get somewhere,
803
00:33:05,690 --> 00:33:08,360
to give us security for once
in our lives, and I'm stuck.
804
00:33:08,380 --> 00:33:11,707
If I can put this over, your
Mrs. Burke can have six babies.
805
00:33:11,727 --> 00:33:13,064
You mean the speech you're writing?
806
00:33:13,084 --> 00:33:16,380
Yeah, I don't know, I
simply can't get it to gel.
807
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:17,420
I created somebody who was going
808
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:18,850
to give up his life for a principle.
809
00:33:18,870 --> 00:33:19,715
Hundreds of thousands of people
810
00:33:19,735 --> 00:33:21,540
are gonna listen to him over the radio.
811
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,520
And unless he says something that's,
812
00:33:23,540 --> 00:33:26,000
well, that's sensational,
it's just no good.
813
00:33:26,020 --> 00:33:27,560
Well, honey, of course I don't know
814
00:33:27,580 --> 00:33:29,750
what kind of a speech
you're trying to write,
815
00:33:29,770 --> 00:33:32,030
but judging from the samples I've read,
816
00:33:32,050 --> 00:33:33,760
I don't think anybody'll listen.
817
00:33:33,780 --> 00:33:35,220
What?
818
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,810
Darling, there are so many
complaining political speeches.
819
00:33:38,830 --> 00:33:39,870
People are tired of hearing
820
00:33:39,890 --> 00:33:42,030
nothing but doom and despair on the radio.
821
00:33:42,050 --> 00:33:43,890
If you're gonna have him say anything,
822
00:33:43,910 --> 00:33:46,760
why don't you let him say
something simple and real,
823
00:33:46,780 --> 00:33:48,080
something with hope in it?
824
00:33:49,742 --> 00:33:52,458
If your father were alive,
he'd know what to say.
825
00:33:52,478 --> 00:33:53,478
Oh, yes.
826
00:33:54,493 --> 00:33:57,507
Father certainly would.
827
00:33:57,527 --> 00:34:02,527
- Wait a minute.
- Hmm?
828
00:34:15,854 --> 00:34:17,736
That's your father's diary, Ann.
829
00:34:17,756 --> 00:34:18,775
Father's...
830
00:34:18,795 --> 00:34:21,038
I never knew he had a diary.
831
00:34:21,058 --> 00:34:23,290
There's enough in it for a 100 speeches,
832
00:34:23,310 --> 00:34:25,940
things people ought to hear nowadays.
833
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,180
You'll be careful of it, won't you, dear?
834
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,687
Always helped to keep
your father alive for me.
835
00:34:30,707 --> 00:34:33,256
You bet I will, Ma.
836
00:34:34,937 --> 00:34:38,390
Wait a minute, John Doe
don't wanna sign no autographs.
837
00:34:38,410 --> 00:34:39,560
Well, what does he do all day?
838
00:34:39,580 --> 00:34:41,280
What does he do all day?
839
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:42,940
He's writing out his memories.
840
00:34:44,140 --> 00:34:45,760
Sorry, lady, you can't see Mr. Doe.
841
00:34:45,780 --> 00:34:47,230
He wants to be alone.
842
00:34:47,250 --> 00:34:48,430
No.
843
00:34:48,450 --> 00:34:51,350
No, he just sits around all
day and commutes with himself.
844
00:34:57,293 --> 00:34:58,293
Ball.
845
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,349
I don't know how you're gonna stand it
846
00:35:09,369 --> 00:35:11,018
around here till after Christmas.
847
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:17,923
I'll bet you ain't heard a
train whistle in two weeks.
848
00:35:25,527 --> 00:35:26,527
Strike.
849
00:35:40,413 --> 00:35:42,163
I know why you're hanging around.
850
00:35:49,310 --> 00:35:50,743
You're stuck on the girl.
851
00:35:53,727 --> 00:35:56,527
That's all a guy needs is to
get hooked up with a woman.
852
00:36:14,490 --> 00:36:16,490
What was that, a single?
853
00:36:16,510 --> 00:36:18,618
First baseman dropped the ball.
854
00:36:18,638 --> 00:36:20,590
Butterfingers.
855
00:36:20,610 --> 00:36:21,610
Tough luck, pal.
856
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,230
A guy has a woman on his
hands, first thing he knows,
857
00:36:30,250 --> 00:36:33,368
his life is balled up
with a lot more things.
858
00:36:33,388 --> 00:36:34,388
Furniture.
859
00:36:45,977 --> 00:36:46,977
Did you get him?
860
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:49,400
You're out.
861
00:36:49,420 --> 00:36:50,810
Swell.
862
00:36:50,830 --> 00:36:51,690
What's this, the end of the eighth?
863
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:52,710
Ninth.
864
00:36:57,510 --> 00:36:59,270
Hey, Beany, there's a couple
of lugs from the Chronicle
865
00:36:59,290 --> 00:37:00,439
snooping around out here.
866
00:37:00,459 --> 00:37:01,459
Ah.
867
00:37:04,460 --> 00:37:05,880
Come on, Angelface.
868
00:37:07,790 --> 00:37:09,000
Gangway.
869
00:37:09,020 --> 00:37:11,213
- What's the score, Angelface?
- Three to two, our favor.
870
00:37:11,233 --> 00:37:12,900
Gee, that's great.
871
00:37:19,213 --> 00:37:20,800
Hey, you got swell form there.
872
00:37:20,820 --> 00:37:22,560
Must've been a pretty good pitcher.
873
00:37:22,580 --> 00:37:23,411
Pretty good, yeah.
874
00:37:23,431 --> 00:37:24,680
I was just about ready
for the Major Leagues
875
00:37:24,700 --> 00:37:26,530
when I chipped a bone in my elbow.
876
00:37:26,550 --> 00:37:28,630
I got it pitching a 19 inning game.
877
00:37:28,650 --> 00:37:29,680
19?
878
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:30,521
Yep.
879
00:37:30,541 --> 00:37:32,447
There was a Major League
scout there watching me, too.
880
00:37:32,467 --> 00:37:34,867
And he came down after
the game with a contract.
881
00:37:35,701 --> 00:37:36,820
But you know what?
882
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,540
I couldn't lift my arm to sign it.
883
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,600
I'll be okay though as
soon as I get it fixed up.
884
00:37:41,620 --> 00:37:42,620
That's too bad.
885
00:37:43,870 --> 00:37:44,983
What do you mean, too bad?
886
00:37:45,003 --> 00:37:46,080
Huh?
887
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:48,620
Oh, that you'll never
be able to play again.
888
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:49,503
What are you talking about?
889
00:37:49,523 --> 00:37:50,337
I just told you I was gonna get my...
890
00:37:50,357 --> 00:37:52,130
Well, you know how they are in baseball
891
00:37:52,150 --> 00:37:53,750
if a guy's mixed up in a racket.
892
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,190
Racket, what do you mean?
893
00:37:56,210 --> 00:37:59,543
Well, I was just thinking
about this John Doe business.
894
00:37:59,563 --> 00:38:02,330
Why, as soon as it comes
out it's all a fake,
895
00:38:02,350 --> 00:38:04,500
you'll be washed up in baseball, won't you?
896
00:38:07,060 --> 00:38:08,060
Yeah.
897
00:38:11,036 --> 00:38:13,444
Doggone, I never thought about that.
898
00:38:19,102 --> 00:38:19,916
Gosh.
899
00:38:19,936 --> 00:38:22,182
And another thing, what about
all the kids in the country,
900
00:38:22,202 --> 00:38:24,543
the kids that idolize ballplayers?
901
00:38:24,563 --> 00:38:27,839
What are they gonna think about you?
902
00:38:27,859 --> 00:38:28,859
Yeah.
903
00:38:29,610 --> 00:38:30,719
Hey, Colonel.
904
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,110
Did you hear that?
905
00:38:35,130 --> 00:38:37,820
I got to figure some way out of this thing.
906
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,540
The elevators are still running.
907
00:38:41,090 --> 00:38:43,060
I know one way you can do it.
908
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,590
How?
909
00:38:44,610 --> 00:38:46,070
Well, when you get up there on the radio,
910
00:38:46,090 --> 00:38:48,750
all you have to do is say
the whole thing's a frame up.
911
00:38:48,770 --> 00:38:50,763
Make you a hero, sure as you're born.
912
00:38:52,180 --> 00:38:54,810
Yeah, but how am I
going to get my arm fixed?
913
00:38:54,830 --> 00:38:55,830
That's a cinch.
914
00:38:56,690 --> 00:38:58,790
I know somebody who'll give you $5,000
915
00:38:58,810 --> 00:39:00,627
just to get up on the
radio and tell the truth.
916
00:39:00,647 --> 00:39:02,300
$5,000?
917
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,480
Yeah, $5,000 and he gets it right away.
918
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:07,080
You don't have to wait till Christmas.
919
00:39:07,100 --> 00:39:09,763
Look out, Long John,
they're closing in on you.
920
00:39:11,390 --> 00:39:13,840
Say, who's putting up this dough?
921
00:39:13,860 --> 00:39:15,210
Fella runs the Chronicle.
922
00:39:17,590 --> 00:39:21,887
Here's the speech you make
and it's all written for you.
923
00:39:21,907 --> 00:39:23,253
$5,000.
924
00:39:26,376 --> 00:39:27,483
It's on the level.
925
00:39:38,476 --> 00:39:41,830
No, I'm sorry, tickets for
the broadcast are all gone.
926
00:39:41,850 --> 00:39:43,010
Phone the Bulletin.
927
00:39:43,030 --> 00:39:44,765
Sorry, no more tickets left.
928
00:39:54,757 --> 00:39:56,330
Here he is.
929
00:39:56,350 --> 00:39:58,650
Hello John, all set for the big night?
930
00:39:58,670 --> 00:39:59,484
Swell.
931
00:39:59,504 --> 00:40:00,592
- Turn around.
- One moment.
932
00:40:00,612 --> 00:40:02,137
- Now stand still.
- Hold it, Mr. Doe.
933
00:40:02,157 --> 00:40:03,306
Big smile, Mr. Doe.
934
00:40:03,326 --> 00:40:04,139
Ah that's swell.
935
00:40:04,159 --> 00:40:04,972
Okay, Beany, that's all,
take them out will you?
936
00:40:04,992 --> 00:40:05,948
- Alright, scram now.
- Come on.
937
00:40:05,968 --> 00:40:08,014
Can't I get another picture?
938
00:40:08,034 --> 00:40:09,270
Now look John, here's the speech.
939
00:40:09,290 --> 00:40:10,440
It's in caps and double spaced.
940
00:40:10,460 --> 00:40:11,910
You won't have no trouble reading it.
941
00:40:11,930 --> 00:40:12,970
Not nervous, are you?
- No.
942
00:40:12,990 --> 00:40:14,833
Of course not, he wouldn't be.
943
00:40:14,853 --> 00:40:16,850
- Who?
- John Doe, the one in there.
944
00:40:16,870 --> 00:40:17,930
Hey don't let your knees rattle.
945
00:40:17,950 --> 00:40:18,764
It picks up on the mic.
946
00:40:18,784 --> 00:40:19,880
Oh Beany.
947
00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:21,110
You needn't be nervous, John
948
00:40:21,130 --> 00:40:23,100
All you have to remember to be sincere.
949
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:24,430
Pick up that phone Miss
Mitchell it's for you.
950
00:40:24,450 --> 00:40:25,350
Okay.
951
00:40:25,370 --> 00:40:26,184
Hello?
952
00:40:26,204 --> 00:40:27,200
Yes, mother.
953
00:40:27,220 --> 00:40:28,307
Oh, thank you, darling.
954
00:40:28,327 --> 00:40:30,774
Oh, there he is, the poor dear man.
955
00:40:30,794 --> 00:40:33,181
Oh good luck to you, Mr. Doe.
956
00:40:33,201 --> 00:40:35,712
We want you to know that
we're are all for you.
957
00:40:35,732 --> 00:40:37,477
The girls all decided that
958
00:40:37,497 --> 00:40:40,997
you're not to jump off any roof at all.
959
00:40:42,384 --> 00:40:43,944
You got the speech I gave you?
960
00:40:43,964 --> 00:40:44,964
Yeah.
961
00:40:46,058 --> 00:40:48,343
Now look, I'll give
the money to the Colonel
962
00:40:48,363 --> 00:40:50,160
just as soon as you get started.
963
00:40:50,180 --> 00:40:52,110
We'll have a car waiting at
the side entrance for you.
964
00:40:52,130 --> 00:40:53,617
- Okay.
- How'd you get in here?
965
00:40:53,637 --> 00:40:55,133
Oh, I just came in to wish him luck.
966
00:40:55,153 --> 00:40:56,883
Come on, out, out.
967
00:40:57,990 --> 00:40:59,540
Mother says good luck, too.
968
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,300
John, when you read the speech please,
969
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:02,920
please believe every word.
970
00:41:02,940 --> 00:41:05,009
He turned out to be wonderful person John.
971
00:41:05,029 --> 00:41:05,843
Who?
972
00:41:05,863 --> 00:41:06,940
John Doe, the one in the speech.
973
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:07,774
Oh.
974
00:41:07,794 --> 00:41:08,990
You know something?
975
00:41:09,010 --> 00:41:10,910
I've actually fallen in love with him.
976
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,094
All right, there he is, sister.
977
00:41:13,114 --> 00:41:15,010
Now come, plenty of bulk.
- What's the idea?
978
00:41:15,030 --> 00:41:16,502
No, no, no, no, no that's too much.
979
00:41:16,522 --> 00:41:18,680
That's not what, not so much, come on.
980
00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:19,681
That's it.
981
00:41:19,701 --> 00:41:21,930
Oh, this is no time for
cheap publicity, Mr. Connell.
982
00:41:21,950 --> 00:41:24,920
Listen if that guy lays an
egg I want something out of it.
983
00:41:24,940 --> 00:41:26,460
I'm getting a Jane Doe ready.
984
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:27,701
Ah come on, will you fellas?
985
00:41:27,721 --> 00:41:29,093
Give me a chance, I have to...
986
00:41:29,113 --> 00:41:30,087
Just one more, will you please?
987
00:41:30,107 --> 00:41:31,365
Now that's fine honey, you go ahead.
988
00:41:31,385 --> 00:41:32,477
After you.
989
00:41:32,497 --> 00:41:33,830
You've got to be running, go ahead.
990
00:41:33,850 --> 00:41:35,080
How you doing?
991
00:41:35,100 --> 00:41:36,890
Alright Beany, bring them in.
992
00:41:36,910 --> 00:41:39,936
Holy smoke, a half a Heelot.
993
00:41:39,956 --> 00:41:41,600
There you are, boss, just like you ordered.
994
00:41:41,620 --> 00:41:42,770
Symbols of little people.
995
00:41:42,790 --> 00:41:44,690
- Okay, get 'em up.
- Alright little fella.
996
00:41:44,710 --> 00:41:46,220
This is ridiculous, Mr. Connell.
997
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:47,054
Come on give me a chance.
998
00:41:47,074 --> 00:41:48,975
The man's on the air in
only a few more minutes.
999
00:41:48,995 --> 00:41:50,648
Oh, fellas I told you can have
1000
00:41:50,668 --> 00:41:52,448
all the pictures you want afterward.
1001
00:41:52,468 --> 00:41:53,610
No, come on, Ed.
1002
00:41:53,630 --> 00:41:54,684
And how about you?
1003
00:41:54,704 --> 00:41:55,571
Come on, come on, that's right.
1004
00:41:55,591 --> 00:41:56,889
Afterwards you can get
all the pictures you want.
1005
00:41:56,909 --> 00:41:58,320
Oh I know but, well thank you very much.
1006
00:41:58,340 --> 00:41:59,153
Come on, will you?
1007
00:41:59,173 --> 00:42:00,130
That way, that's right.
1008
00:42:00,150 --> 00:42:00,964
Come on Snooks.
1009
00:42:00,984 --> 00:42:02,119
You better bail out.
1010
00:42:02,139 --> 00:42:04,192
Well, goodbye, Mr. Doe.
1011
00:42:04,212 --> 00:42:05,026
Beany.
1012
00:42:05,046 --> 00:42:06,628
Alright, alright.
1013
00:42:08,700 --> 00:42:09,962
Better get ready, one minute to go.
1014
00:42:09,982 --> 00:42:12,257
Wow, one minute to go and
the score's nothing to nothing.
1015
00:42:12,277 --> 00:42:13,970
Now please, John.
1016
00:42:13,990 --> 00:42:15,823
You won't let me down, will ya?
1017
00:42:17,342 --> 00:42:18,342
Will ya?
1018
00:42:19,350 --> 00:42:20,640
Of course you won't.
1019
00:42:20,660 --> 00:42:23,363
If you'll just think of
yourself as the real John Doe.
1020
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:26,080
Listen, everything in that speech
1021
00:42:26,100 --> 00:42:28,020
are things a certain man believed in.
1022
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,390
He was my father, John.
1023
00:42:30,410 --> 00:42:32,603
When he talked, people listened.
1024
00:42:32,623 --> 00:42:34,173
And they'll listen to you, too.
1025
00:42:35,450 --> 00:42:38,883
Funny, you know what my
mother said the other night?
1026
00:42:39,900 --> 00:42:43,333
She said to look into your eyes
and I'd see my father there.
1027
00:42:46,130 --> 00:42:47,930
- Hey what do you say?
- Okay, we're coming.
1028
00:42:47,950 --> 00:42:48,950
Come on.
1029
00:42:49,810 --> 00:42:51,710
Now listen, John, you're a pitcher.
1030
00:42:51,730 --> 00:42:53,163
Now get in there and pitch.
1031
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,380
Good luck.
1032
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,622
Give him room, let him through, come on.
1033
00:43:13,203 --> 00:43:14,390
Hey, let's get out of here.
1034
00:43:14,410 --> 00:43:15,342
There's the door right there.
1035
00:43:15,362 --> 00:43:16,450
Hey what are you doing here?
1036
00:43:16,470 --> 00:43:17,580
That's what I'd like to know.
1037
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:18,530
Come on, out, out.
1038
00:43:18,550 --> 00:43:19,364
Hey, he's a friend of mine.
1039
00:43:19,384 --> 00:43:21,470
Never mind, let him alone, he's alright.
1040
00:43:24,203 --> 00:43:27,620
I'll be right over there pulling for you.
1041
00:43:29,673 --> 00:43:31,006
John, over here.
1042
00:43:35,950 --> 00:43:36,950
Stand by.
1043
00:44:08,858 --> 00:44:09,672
Phone the Chronicle.
1044
00:44:09,692 --> 00:44:12,437
Tell 'em to start getting those extras out.
1045
00:44:34,037 --> 00:44:35,490
And good evening ladies and gentlemen,
1046
00:44:35,510 --> 00:44:37,810
this is Kenneth Fry speaking
for the New Bulletin.
1047
00:44:37,830 --> 00:44:40,840
Tonight we give you something
entirely new and different.
1048
00:44:40,860 --> 00:44:42,430
Standing beside me is the young man
1049
00:44:42,450 --> 00:44:44,050
who has declared publicly that
1050
00:44:44,070 --> 00:44:46,730
on Christmas Eve he
intends to commit suicide,
1051
00:44:46,750 --> 00:44:48,710
giving as his reason, quote,
1052
00:44:48,730 --> 00:44:51,400
I protest against the
state of civilization.
1053
00:44:51,420 --> 00:44:52,560
End quote.
1054
00:44:52,580 --> 00:44:54,990
Ladies and gentlemen, the
New Bulletin takes pleasure
1055
00:44:55,010 --> 00:44:56,720
in presenting the man who is fast becoming
1056
00:44:56,740 --> 00:45:00,730
the most talked about person
in the country, John Doe.
1057
00:45:23,934 --> 00:45:25,851
Ladies and gentlemen.
1058
00:45:28,530 --> 00:45:31,073
I am the man you all know as John Doe.
1059
00:45:32,590 --> 00:45:35,747
I took that name because
it seems to describe...
1060
00:45:38,590 --> 00:45:42,892
Because it seems to describe
the average man, and that's me.
1061
00:45:43,980 --> 00:45:44,980
And that's me.
1062
00:45:49,130 --> 00:45:52,220
Well, it was me before I
said I was going to jump off
1063
00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:54,933
the City Hall roof at
midnight on Christmas Eve.
1064
00:45:56,350 --> 00:45:58,283
Now I guess I'm not average anymore.
1065
00:45:59,750 --> 00:46:02,473
Now I'm getting all sorts of
attention, from big shots too.
1066
00:46:02,493 --> 00:46:04,230
- We've been double crossed.
- We have?
1067
00:46:04,250 --> 00:46:07,010
The Mayor and Governor, for instance,
1068
00:46:07,030 --> 00:46:08,753
they don't like those
articles I've been writing.
1069
00:46:08,773 --> 00:46:10,830
You're an impostor, young fella.
1070
00:46:10,850 --> 00:46:12,700
That's a pack of lies you're telling.
1071
00:46:13,900 --> 00:46:16,079
Who wrote that speech for you?
1072
00:46:17,878 --> 00:46:20,157
Beany, get that guy.
1073
00:46:20,177 --> 00:46:23,304
A publicity stunt for the Bulletin.
1074
00:46:27,096 --> 00:46:28,205
A publicity stunt for the Bulletin.
1075
00:46:28,225 --> 00:46:29,270
Get him out.
1076
00:46:29,290 --> 00:46:30,160
Spencer.
1077
00:46:30,180 --> 00:46:31,011
Ladies and gentlemen,
1078
00:46:31,031 --> 00:46:32,330
the disturbance you just heard
1079
00:46:32,350 --> 00:46:33,930
was caused by someone in the audience
1080
00:46:33,950 --> 00:46:36,070
who tried to heckle Mr. Doe.
1081
00:46:36,090 --> 00:46:37,340
The speech will continue.
1082
00:46:42,260 --> 00:46:46,539
Well, people like the Governor
people like the Governor...
1083
00:46:46,559 --> 00:46:50,110
people like the Governor and
that fella can stop worrying.
1084
00:46:50,130 --> 00:46:52,210
I'm not gonna talk about them.
1085
00:46:52,230 --> 00:46:56,463
I'm gonna talk about us, the
average guys, the John Does.
1086
00:46:57,630 --> 00:47:01,160
If anybody ever asked you what
the average John Doe is like,
1087
00:47:01,180 --> 00:47:04,233
you couldn't tell him because
he's a million and one things.
1088
00:47:05,150 --> 00:47:07,730
He's Mr. Big and Mr. Small.
1089
00:47:07,750 --> 00:47:09,520
He's simple and he's wise.
1090
00:47:09,540 --> 00:47:11,160
He's inherently honest,
1091
00:47:11,180 --> 00:47:13,370
but he's got a streak
of larceny in his heart.
1092
00:47:13,390 --> 00:47:16,260
He seldom walks up to a public
telephone without shoving
1093
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:17,620
his finger in the slot to see
1094
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,377
if somebody left a nickel there.
1095
00:47:30,710 --> 00:47:33,567
He's the man the ads are written for,
1096
00:47:33,587 --> 00:47:36,710
the fella everybody sells things to.
1097
00:47:36,730 --> 00:47:40,190
He's Joe Dokes, the
world's greatest stooge,
1098
00:47:40,210 --> 00:47:42,083
and the world's greatest strength.
1099
00:47:51,356 --> 00:47:52,356
Yes, sir.
1100
00:47:53,470 --> 00:47:56,430
Yes, sir, we're a great
family, the John Does.
1101
00:47:56,450 --> 00:48:00,073
We're the meek who are
supposed to inherit the earth.
1102
00:48:01,300 --> 00:48:02,950
You'll find us everywhere.
1103
00:48:02,970 --> 00:48:05,800
We raise the crops, we dig
the mines, work the factories,
1104
00:48:05,820 --> 00:48:09,110
keep the books, fly the
planes, and drive the buses.
1105
00:48:09,130 --> 00:48:11,690
And when a cop yells, stand back there you,
1106
00:48:11,710 --> 00:48:13,753
he means us, the John Does.
1107
00:48:13,773 --> 00:48:15,340
Well what kind of a speech is that?
1108
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:16,620
Didn't you read it?
1109
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,640
We've existed since time began.
1110
00:48:18,660 --> 00:48:22,590
We built the Pyramids,
we saw Christ crucified,
1111
00:48:22,610 --> 00:48:25,130
pulled the oars for Roman emperors,
1112
00:48:25,150 --> 00:48:27,240
sailed the boats for Columbus,
1113
00:48:27,260 --> 00:48:29,820
retreated from Moscow with Napoleon,
1114
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,483
and froze with Washington at Valley Forge.
1115
00:48:35,670 --> 00:48:37,500
Yes, sir, we've been in there
1116
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,480
dodging left hooks since
before History began to walk.
1117
00:48:41,500 --> 00:48:42,990
In our struggle for freedom
1118
00:48:43,010 --> 00:48:44,540
we've hit the canvas many a time,
1119
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,210
but we always bounce back because
1120
00:48:46,230 --> 00:48:48,216
we're the people and we're tough.
1121
00:48:53,651 --> 00:48:56,500
They've started a lot of talk
about free people going soft,
1122
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:57,870
that we can't take it.
1123
00:48:57,890 --> 00:48:58,990
That's a lot of hooey.
1124
00:49:00,410 --> 00:49:03,110
The free people can beat the
world at anything from war
1125
00:49:03,130 --> 00:49:06,794
to tiddlywinks if we all
pull in the same direction.
1126
00:49:14,250 --> 00:49:17,470
I know a lot of you are
saying, what can I do?
1127
00:49:17,490 --> 00:49:18,910
I'm just a little punk.
1128
00:49:18,930 --> 00:49:20,450
I don't count.
1129
00:49:20,470 --> 00:49:21,421
Well you're dead wrong.
1130
00:49:21,441 --> 00:49:24,140
The little punks have always
counted because in the long run
1131
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,760
the character of a country is the sum total
1132
00:49:26,780 --> 00:49:28,805
of the character of it's little punks.
1133
00:49:35,870 --> 00:49:37,287
But we've all got to
get in there and pitch.
1134
00:49:37,307 --> 00:49:41,000
We can't win the ball game
unless we have team work,
1135
00:49:41,020 --> 00:49:44,160
and that's where every John Doe comes in.
1136
00:49:44,180 --> 00:49:47,540
It's up to him to get
together with his team mate,
1137
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:52,170
and your team mate, my friends,
is the guy next door to you.
1138
00:49:52,190 --> 00:49:54,560
Your neighbor, he's a
terribly important guy,
1139
00:49:54,580 --> 00:49:56,510
that guy next door.
1140
00:49:56,530 --> 00:49:57,401
You're gonna need him
1141
00:49:57,421 --> 00:49:59,760
and he's gonna need you so look him up.
1142
00:49:59,780 --> 00:50:01,710
If he's sick, call on him.
1143
00:50:01,730 --> 00:50:03,610
If he's hungry, feed him.
1144
00:50:03,630 --> 00:50:06,003
If he's out of a job, find him one.
1145
00:50:06,860 --> 00:50:08,910
To most of you, your
neighbor is a stranger.
1146
00:50:08,930 --> 00:50:11,940
A guy with a barking dog
and a high fence around him.
1147
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,190
Now you can't be a stranger
1148
00:50:13,210 --> 00:50:15,730
to any guy that's on your own team.
1149
00:50:15,750 --> 00:50:18,520
So tear down the fence that separates you.
1150
00:50:18,540 --> 00:50:20,810
Tear down the fence and you'll tear down
1151
00:50:20,830 --> 00:50:22,830
a lot of hates and prejudices.
1152
00:50:22,850 --> 00:50:24,710
Tear down all the fences in the country
1153
00:50:24,730 --> 00:50:26,010
and you'll really have teamwork.
1154
00:50:35,166 --> 00:50:37,460
I know a lot of you are
saying to yourselves,
1155
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,250
he's asking for a miracle to happen.
1156
00:50:39,270 --> 00:50:42,630
He's expecting people to
change all of a sudden.
1157
00:50:42,650 --> 00:50:43,463
Well, you're wrong.
1158
00:50:43,483 --> 00:50:44,461
It's no miracle.
1159
00:50:44,481 --> 00:50:47,130
It's no miracle because I see it happen
1160
00:50:47,150 --> 00:50:51,343
once a year and so do
you, at Christmas time.
1161
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,330
There's something swell about
the spirit of Christmas.
1162
00:50:55,350 --> 00:50:59,010
To see what it does to
people, all kinds of people.
1163
00:50:59,030 --> 00:51:03,040
Now why can't that spirit, that
same warm Christmas spirit,
1164
00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:05,190
last the whole year round?
1165
00:51:05,210 --> 00:51:06,210
Gosh.
1166
00:51:07,060 --> 00:51:10,310
If it ever did, if each and every John Doe
1167
00:51:10,330 --> 00:51:14,200
would make that spirit last
365 days out of the year
1168
00:51:14,220 --> 00:51:15,800
we'd develop such a strength,
1169
00:51:15,820 --> 00:51:18,270
we'd create such a tidal wave of goodwill
1170
00:51:18,290 --> 00:51:20,593
that no human force could stand against it.
1171
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:23,473
Yes sir, my friends,
1172
00:51:24,900 --> 00:51:28,430
the meek can only inherit
the Earth when the John Does
1173
00:51:28,450 --> 00:51:29,900
start loving their neighbors.
1174
00:51:30,900 --> 00:51:32,303
You better start right now.
1175
00:51:33,310 --> 00:51:36,210
Don't wait till the game is
called on account of darkness.
1176
00:51:37,904 --> 00:51:40,304
Wake up, John Doe, you're
the hope of the world.
1177
00:51:49,300 --> 00:51:50,905
John, you were wonderful.
1178
00:51:58,804 --> 00:52:02,554
- Let's get out of here.
- Now you're talking.
1179
00:52:05,879 --> 00:52:10,314
Gangway, you Heelots.
1180
00:52:10,334 --> 00:52:11,334
Hey.
1181
00:52:20,050 --> 00:52:21,900
I knew you'd wake up sooner or later.
1182
00:52:22,950 --> 00:52:25,270
Boy, am I glad we got out of that mess.
1183
00:52:25,290 --> 00:52:27,963
I had the 5,000 all sewed up.
1184
00:52:27,983 --> 00:52:30,033
Could've been on my way to old Doc Brown.
1185
00:52:32,217 --> 00:52:33,447
"You're a pitcher, John" she says.
1186
00:52:33,467 --> 00:52:35,080
"Now go in there and pitch."
1187
00:52:35,100 --> 00:52:36,428
What a sucker.
1188
00:52:36,448 --> 00:52:38,630
She's a Heelot just like the rest.
1189
00:52:38,650 --> 00:52:40,120
Lucky you got away from her.
1190
00:52:40,140 --> 00:52:43,530
What was I doing making
a speech, anyway, me, huh?
1191
00:52:43,550 --> 00:52:45,430
Jeez, the more I think
about it the more I could...
1192
00:52:45,450 --> 00:52:47,190
Tear town all the fences.
1193
00:52:47,210 --> 00:52:48,748
Why, if you tore one picket off
1194
00:52:48,768 --> 00:52:50,703
your neighbor's fence, he'd sue you.
1195
00:52:50,723 --> 00:52:52,830
5,000, had it right in my hand.
1196
00:52:52,850 --> 00:52:54,940
What do you mean he ran away?
1197
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:56,170
Well go after him, find him.
1198
00:52:56,190 --> 00:52:57,240
That man is terrific.
1199
00:53:04,371 --> 00:53:05,954
And here we come.
1200
00:53:52,344 --> 00:53:53,723
Jitterbugs.
1201
00:53:53,743 --> 00:53:54,743
Yeah.
1202
00:53:55,410 --> 00:53:56,786
How much money we got left?
1203
00:53:56,806 --> 00:53:57,880
Four bits.
1204
00:53:57,900 --> 00:53:58,861
Better make it doughnuts, huh?
1205
00:53:58,881 --> 00:53:59,881
Yeah.
1206
00:54:12,269 --> 00:54:14,040
What'll it be, gents?
1207
00:54:14,060 --> 00:54:14,874
Have you got a couple of steaks
1208
00:54:14,894 --> 00:54:17,120
about that big and that thick?
1209
00:54:17,140 --> 00:54:19,268
Yeah, with hash brown potatoes and tomatoes
1210
00:54:19,288 --> 00:54:22,190
and apple pie and ice cream and coffee?
1211
00:54:22,210 --> 00:54:24,120
And doughnuts, I know.
1212
00:54:24,140 --> 00:54:27,052
Hey, Ma, sinkers, a pair.
1213
00:54:27,072 --> 00:54:28,552
Sinkers, a pair, comin' up.
1214
00:54:28,930 --> 00:54:30,580
Glad he took the T out of that.
1215
00:54:35,660 --> 00:54:37,153
Hey Look.
1216
00:54:38,260 --> 00:54:41,769
Join the John Doe Club.
1217
00:54:41,789 --> 00:54:46,789
John Doe Club?
1218
00:54:49,324 --> 00:54:52,920
Uh-oh.
1219
00:54:52,940 --> 00:54:54,330
- Are you John Doe?
- Who?
1220
00:54:54,350 --> 00:54:55,164
John Doe.
1221
00:54:55,184 --> 00:54:57,390
Ah, you need glasses, buddy.
1222
00:54:57,410 --> 00:54:58,580
It's the spitting image of John Doe.
1223
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,177
Yeah, but his name's Willoughby.
1224
00:55:00,197 --> 00:55:02,568
I'm John Willoughby, I'm a baseball player.
1225
00:55:02,588 --> 00:55:04,950
Ah, no, I'd know that voice anywhere.
1226
00:55:04,970 --> 00:55:06,830
You can't kid me.
1227
00:55:06,850 --> 00:55:08,503
You're John Doe.
1228
00:55:08,523 --> 00:55:09,675
Ma!
1229
00:55:09,695 --> 00:55:10,586
Ma.
1230
00:55:10,606 --> 00:55:12,457
That's John Doe.
- John Doe?
1231
00:55:12,477 --> 00:55:14,334
Yeah, sitting right there, big as life.
1232
00:55:14,354 --> 00:55:15,372
Who'd you say it was?
1233
00:55:15,392 --> 00:55:17,892
John Doe, the big guy there.
1234
00:55:18,954 --> 00:55:23,454
That is John Doe.
1235
00:55:29,647 --> 00:55:32,030
Hey Operator, Dan Beaver.
1236
00:55:32,050 --> 00:55:33,240
Call everybody in town.
1237
00:55:33,260 --> 00:55:35,080
John Doe was just in my place.
1238
00:55:35,100 --> 00:55:36,843
Yeah, he ordered doughnuts.
1239
00:55:44,465 --> 00:55:45,949
John Doe.
1240
00:55:45,969 --> 00:55:48,203
Let's see John Doe.
1241
00:55:50,852 --> 00:55:53,028
You're all here to see John
Doe and you're all neighbors,
1242
00:55:53,048 --> 00:55:54,820
but my office is packed like a sardine box.
1243
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,550
What does John
Doe look like, Mr. Mayor?
1244
00:55:56,570 --> 00:55:59,280
Oh he's one of those
great, big, outdoor type men.
1245
00:55:59,300 --> 00:56:01,540
No you can't see him, you didn't
vote for me the last time.
1246
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:02,680
Shame on you, what are you doing here?
1247
00:56:02,700 --> 00:56:03,960
Get off my front porch.
1248
00:56:03,980 --> 00:56:05,730
Mr. Norton come yet?
1249
00:56:05,750 --> 00:56:06,886
Well wonder where he
is, what's keeping him?
1250
00:56:06,906 --> 00:56:08,735
He should've been here 15 minutes ago.
1251
00:56:08,755 --> 00:56:10,213
There he comes now.
1252
00:56:13,700 --> 00:56:14,641
Now everybody on your dignity.
1253
00:56:14,661 --> 00:56:16,660
Don't do anything to
disgrace our little town.
1254
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:17,680
We gotta show off.
1255
00:56:20,900 --> 00:56:21,714
Better let me talk to him.
1256
00:56:21,734 --> 00:56:22,810
Alright, but present it to him
1257
00:56:22,830 --> 00:56:24,390
as a great cause for the common man.
1258
00:56:24,410 --> 00:56:25,224
Ah here he comes.
1259
00:56:25,244 --> 00:56:27,670
Give him room down there, give him room.
1260
00:56:27,690 --> 00:56:28,779
Come on now.
1261
00:56:28,799 --> 00:56:30,114
Here they come, here they come.
1262
00:56:30,134 --> 00:56:31,552
Here's Mr. Norton.
1263
00:56:31,572 --> 00:56:32,650
How do you do, Mr. Norton?
1264
00:56:32,670 --> 00:56:33,670
I'm Mayor Hawkins.
1265
00:56:34,578 --> 00:56:36,727
- The crowd back there.
- Let me go you darn fool.
1266
00:56:36,747 --> 00:56:37,561
I'm the Mayor.
1267
00:56:37,581 --> 00:56:41,010
Mr. Norton, Mr. Norton, Mr.
Norton, I'm Mayor Hawkins.
1268
00:56:41,030 --> 00:56:42,680
Your office telephoned me to hold him.
1269
00:56:42,700 --> 00:56:43,930
Well that's fine, how is he?
1270
00:56:43,950 --> 00:56:45,730
Oh he's fine, he's
right in my office there.
1271
00:56:45,750 --> 00:56:48,320
You know it's a big honor having
John Doe here, and you too.
1272
00:56:48,340 --> 00:56:49,231
Haven't had so much excitement
1273
00:56:49,251 --> 00:56:51,480
since the old City Hall burnt down.
1274
00:56:51,500 --> 00:56:53,578
People so excited, they
nearly tore his clothes off.
1275
00:56:53,598 --> 00:56:55,260
Oh Matilda, phone the newspapers.
1276
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:56,094
Tell them Mr. Norton's here.
1277
00:56:56,114 --> 00:56:58,070
Step inside, Mr. Norton, to my office.
1278
00:56:58,090 --> 00:56:59,683
It's very comfortable Mr. Norton.
1279
00:56:59,703 --> 00:57:00,742
Just had it air-conditioned.
1280
00:57:00,762 --> 00:57:02,989
Gangway please, make room for Mr. Norton.
1281
00:57:03,009 --> 00:57:04,573
Gangway, gangway.
1282
00:57:04,593 --> 00:57:06,380
Here he is Mr. Norton, well taken care of.
1283
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,650
The neighbors are serving
him a light lunch.
1284
00:57:08,670 --> 00:57:09,670
Hello, John.
1285
00:57:11,350 --> 00:57:12,800
Hello.
1286
00:57:12,820 --> 00:57:14,120
Mr. Mayor, if you don't mind,
1287
00:57:14,140 --> 00:57:15,500
we'd like to talk to him alone.
1288
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:16,840
Why certainly, certainly.
1289
00:57:16,860 --> 00:57:18,576
Alright everybody clear out.
1290
00:57:18,596 --> 00:57:20,127
Everybody, quickly now.
1291
00:57:20,147 --> 00:57:20,960
Come on.
1292
00:57:20,980 --> 00:57:21,980
Come on.
1293
00:57:23,505 --> 00:57:26,863
That's right, come on.
1294
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:29,570
Don't argue with me here.
1295
00:57:29,590 --> 00:57:30,426
Wait till we get home.
1296
00:57:30,446 --> 00:57:31,741
Don't you push me around like that
1297
00:57:31,761 --> 00:57:33,583
even though I am your wife.
1298
00:57:33,603 --> 00:57:35,650
Look Mr. Norton, I think
you got a lot of nerve
1299
00:57:35,670 --> 00:57:37,393
having these people hold us here.
1300
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,500
There's nobody holding you here Mr. Doe.
1301
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:42,334
It's only natural that...
1302
00:57:42,354 --> 00:57:44,590
If there's nobody holding
us here let's get going.
1303
00:57:44,610 --> 00:57:46,500
Incidentally, my name
isn't Doe, it's Willoughby.
1304
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:47,770
Look, John.
1305
00:57:47,790 --> 00:57:49,530
Something important happened.
1306
00:57:49,550 --> 00:57:51,070
They're forming John Doe Clubs.
1307
00:57:51,090 --> 00:57:52,890
We know of eight already and they say...
1308
00:57:52,910 --> 00:57:54,135
John Doe Clubs, what for?
1309
00:57:54,155 --> 00:57:55,220
To carry out the principles
1310
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:56,960
you talked about in your radio speech.
1311
00:57:56,980 --> 00:57:58,110
I don't care what they're forming.
1312
00:57:58,130 --> 00:57:59,330
I'm on my way and I don't like
1313
00:57:59,350 --> 00:58:00,532
the idea of being stopped either.
1314
00:58:00,552 --> 00:58:02,450
Oh, but you don't how big this thing is.
1315
00:58:02,470 --> 00:58:04,040
You should see the thousands of telegrams
1316
00:58:04,060 --> 00:58:06,420
we've received and what
they're saying about you.
1317
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:09,190
Look, it started as a
circulation stunt, didn't it?
1318
00:58:09,210 --> 00:58:10,447
Well you got your circulation.
1319
00:58:10,467 --> 00:58:11,860
Now why don't you let me alone?
1320
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,680
Oh it started as a circulation
stunt but it isn't anymore.
1321
00:58:14,700 --> 00:58:15,980
Mr. Norton wants to get in back of it
1322
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,220
and sponsor clubs all over the country.
1323
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,190
He wants to send you on a lecture tour.
1324
00:58:21,090 --> 00:58:21,993
- Me?
- Uh-huh.
1325
00:58:22,013 --> 00:58:22,827
Certainly.
1326
00:58:22,847 --> 00:58:24,910
With your ability to influence people,
1327
00:58:24,930 --> 00:58:27,190
it might grow into a glorious movement.
1328
00:58:27,210 --> 00:58:29,340
Then let's get something straight here.
1329
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,475
I don't want any part of this.
1330
00:58:31,495 --> 00:58:32,910
If you got an idea I'm going around
1331
00:58:32,930 --> 00:58:35,390
lecturing to people why you're crazy.
1332
00:58:35,410 --> 00:58:37,610
Baseball's my racket
and I'm sticking to it.
1333
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,361
Come on Colonel, let's get out of here.
1334
00:58:40,381 --> 00:58:41,195
John...
1335
00:58:41,215 --> 00:58:43,930
Please, please I just got rid of one crowd.
1336
00:58:43,950 --> 00:58:45,440
But please, Mr. Mayor,
1337
00:58:45,460 --> 00:58:48,600
tell him the John Doe
Club wants to talk to him.
1338
00:58:48,620 --> 00:58:50,590
- Let them in, Mr.
Mayor, let them come in.
1339
00:58:50,610 --> 00:58:52,170
Okay folks but remember your manners.
1340
00:58:52,190 --> 00:58:53,350
No stampeding.
1341
00:58:53,370 --> 00:58:56,213
Walk slow, like you do when
you come to pay your taxes.
1342
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:04,174
Okay.
1343
00:59:04,194 --> 00:59:05,770
All right, give me a chance.
1344
00:59:05,790 --> 00:59:06,833
Come right in.
1345
00:59:09,276 --> 00:59:11,250
My name's Bert Hansen, Mr. Doe.
1346
00:59:11,270 --> 00:59:15,150
I'm the head soda-jerker
at Schwabacher's drugstore.
1347
00:59:15,170 --> 00:59:18,780
Well, sir, you see me and my
wife, we heard your broadcast
1348
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:20,470
and we got quite a bang out of it.
1349
00:59:20,490 --> 00:59:21,980
Especially my wife.
1350
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:23,597
Kept me up half the night saying,
1351
00:59:23,617 --> 00:59:25,057
"that man's right, honey.
1352
00:59:25,077 --> 00:59:26,107
"Trouble with the world is
1353
00:59:26,127 --> 00:59:28,217
"nobody gives a hoot about his neighbor.
1354
00:59:28,237 --> 00:59:29,547
"That's why everybody in town
1355
00:59:29,567 --> 00:59:31,530
"is sore and cranky with each other."
1356
00:59:31,550 --> 00:59:33,277
I said, "that's fine,
1357
00:59:33,297 --> 00:59:35,337
"but how's a guy gonna go around lovin'
1358
00:59:35,357 --> 00:59:37,037
"the kind of neighbors we got?
1359
00:59:37,057 --> 00:59:38,737
"Old Sourpuss, for instance."
1360
00:59:39,591 --> 00:59:43,020
You see, Sourpuss Smithers
lives alone next door to us.
1361
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:44,780
He's a cranky old man who runs
1362
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,050
the second hand furniture store.
1363
00:59:46,070 --> 00:59:47,903
We haven't spoken to him for years.
1364
00:59:48,990 --> 00:59:50,370
I always figured he was
1365
00:59:50,390 --> 00:59:52,430
an ornery old gent that hated the world
1366
00:59:52,450 --> 00:59:54,750
'cause was always slamming his garage door
1367
00:59:54,770 --> 00:59:58,102
and playing the radio so loud
it kept half the neighbors up.
1368
01:00:00,350 --> 01:00:03,410
Well anyway, the next morning
I'm out watering the lawn
1369
01:00:03,430 --> 01:00:05,040
and I look over and there's Sourpuss
1370
01:00:05,060 --> 01:00:06,220
on the other side of the hedge
1371
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,780
straightening out a dent in his fender.
1372
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,930
And my wife yells to me out the window,
1373
01:00:11,950 --> 01:00:14,370
she says, "go on, speak to him, Bert."
1374
01:00:14,390 --> 01:00:16,570
I figured well heck I can't lose anything,
1375
01:00:16,590 --> 01:00:20,320
so I yelled over to him,
"good morning, Mr. Smithers."
1376
01:00:20,340 --> 01:00:22,500
He went right on pounding his fender.
1377
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:23,510
Was I burned.
1378
01:00:23,530 --> 01:00:26,700
So I turned around to
give my wife a dirty look.
1379
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,930
She said, "louder, he didn't hear you."
1380
01:00:29,950 --> 01:00:31,030
So in a voice you could've heard
1381
01:00:31,050 --> 01:00:32,397
in the next county I yelled,
1382
01:00:32,417 --> 01:00:33,676
"good morning, Mr. Smithers!"
1383
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,370
Well sir, you could have
knocked me over with a feather.
1384
01:00:39,390 --> 01:00:42,330
Old Sourpuss turned around, surprised like,
1385
01:00:42,350 --> 01:00:46,070
put on a big smile, came
over and took my hand
1386
01:00:46,090 --> 01:00:49,807
like an old lodge brother and
said, "good morning, Hansen.
1387
01:00:49,827 --> 01:00:51,430
"I've been wanting to talk to you for years
1388
01:00:51,450 --> 01:00:52,970
"only I thought you didn't like me."
1389
01:00:52,990 --> 01:00:56,390
Then he started chatting
away like a happy little kid.
1390
01:00:56,410 --> 01:00:58,117
He got so excited his eyes...
1391
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,250
Well, Mr. Doe before we got through
1392
01:01:01,270 --> 01:01:04,800
I found out Smithers is a swell
egg, only he's pretty deaf
1393
01:01:04,820 --> 01:01:06,870
and that accounts for all the noises.
1394
01:01:06,890 --> 01:01:10,030
He says it's a shame how little
we know about our neighbors.
1395
01:01:10,050 --> 01:01:11,630
And then he got an idea.
1396
01:01:11,650 --> 01:01:14,247
And he said, "how's about
inviting everybody some place
1397
01:01:14,267 --> 01:01:15,687
"where we can all get together
1398
01:01:15,707 --> 01:01:18,150
"and know each other a little better?"
1399
01:01:18,170 --> 01:01:20,710
Well I'm feeling so good by
this time I ripe for anything.
1400
01:01:20,730 --> 01:01:22,420
So Smithers goes around the neighborhood
1401
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:24,680
inviting everybody to a
meeting at the schoolhouse.
1402
01:01:24,700 --> 01:01:26,003
And I tell everybody that comes
1403
01:01:26,023 --> 01:01:29,383
into the store, including
Mr. Schwabacher my boss.
1404
01:01:30,290 --> 01:01:31,104
I'm talking too much.
1405
01:01:31,124 --> 01:01:33,253
Oh no.
1406
01:01:34,990 --> 01:01:38,710
Well, I'll be doggone if
for 40 people don't show up.
1407
01:01:38,730 --> 01:01:39,990
Course, none of us knew what to do,
1408
01:01:40,010 --> 01:01:42,880
but we sure got a kick out
of seeing how glad everybody
1409
01:01:42,900 --> 01:01:45,481
was just to say hello to one another.
1410
01:01:45,501 --> 01:01:47,200
Tell him about making
Sourpuss chairman, honey.
1411
01:01:47,220 --> 01:01:49,180
Oh yeah, we made Sourpuss chairman
1412
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,950
and decided to call
ourselves the John Doe Club.
1413
01:01:51,970 --> 01:01:53,670
Say, incidentally, this is my wife.
1414
01:01:53,690 --> 01:01:55,310
Come here, honey.
1415
01:01:55,330 --> 01:01:57,000
This is my wife, Mr. Doe.
1416
01:01:57,020 --> 01:01:58,270
How do you do, Mr. Doe?
1417
01:01:59,332 --> 01:02:00,871
Sourpuss is here, too.
1418
01:02:00,891 --> 01:02:02,474
Oh, is he?
1419
01:02:03,978 --> 01:02:07,460
This is Sourpuss, or excuse
me, Mr. Smithers, Mr. Doe.
1420
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,290
That's alright, if you
didn't call me Sourpuss,
1421
01:02:09,310 --> 01:02:10,468
it wouldn't feel natural.
1422
01:02:12,580 --> 01:02:14,890
Well anyway, I guess nearly everybody
1423
01:02:14,910 --> 01:02:17,522
in the neighborhood came
except the Delaneys.
1424
01:02:17,542 --> 01:02:19,140
The Delaneys live in a big house
1425
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:20,610
with an iron fence around it
1426
01:02:20,630 --> 01:02:22,860
and they always keep their blinds drawn.
1427
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,810
And we always figured that he
was an old miser that sat back
1428
01:02:25,830 --> 01:02:29,850
counting his money, so why
bother about inviting him?
1429
01:02:29,870 --> 01:02:33,667
Until Grimes the milkman
spoke up and he said,
1430
01:02:33,687 --> 01:02:36,580
"say, you've got the Delaneys all wrong."
1431
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:37,680
And then he tells us about
1432
01:02:37,700 --> 01:02:39,780
how they canceled their milk last week,
1433
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,300
and he found it looked kind of curious like
1434
01:02:43,300 --> 01:02:46,217
peeked in under the blinds
and found the house was empty.
1435
01:02:46,237 --> 01:02:48,900
"If you ask me", he
says, "they're starving."
1436
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,820
Old man Delaney's been bringing
1437
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:52,900
his furniture over to my place at night,
1438
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:54,753
one piece at a time and selling it.
1439
01:02:56,543 --> 01:02:58,940
Well sir a half a dozen of
us went over there to fetch him
1440
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:00,357
and we brought him to the meeting.
1441
01:03:00,377 --> 01:03:02,330
And what a reception they got.
1442
01:03:02,350 --> 01:03:06,020
Everybody shook hands with
them and made a fuss over them.
1443
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:09,480
Well, finally Mr. and Mrs.
Delaney sat right down and cried.
1444
01:03:09,500 --> 01:03:10,314
Then we started to find
1445
01:03:10,334 --> 01:03:11,560
out about a lot of other people.
1446
01:03:11,580 --> 01:03:13,922
Yeah sure, well you know
Grubbel, for instance.
1447
01:03:13,942 --> 01:03:14,872
Grubbel's here.
1448
01:03:14,892 --> 01:03:15,706
See?
1449
01:03:15,726 --> 01:03:17,798
Yeah, that's him.
1450
01:03:17,818 --> 01:03:20,110
You don't know Grubbel, but he's the man
1451
01:03:20,130 --> 01:03:22,990
that everybody figured
was the worst no account
1452
01:03:23,010 --> 01:03:26,630
in the neighborhood because
he lived like a hermit.
1453
01:03:26,650 --> 01:03:28,740
Nobody would have anything to do with him
1454
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:31,313
that is until Murphy the
postman told us the truth.
1455
01:03:32,237 --> 01:03:34,987
"Grubbel," he says, "he
lives out of garbage cans
1456
01:03:35,007 --> 01:03:36,467
"because he won't take charity.
1457
01:03:36,487 --> 01:03:39,700
"'Cause it'd ruin his
self respect" he says.
1458
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,260
Just like you said
on the radio, Mr. Doe.
1459
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,280
Well sir, about a dozen
families got together
1460
01:03:44,300 --> 01:03:46,080
and gave Grubbel a job
watering their lawns.
1461
01:03:46,100 --> 01:03:47,220
Isn't that wonderful?
1462
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,450
And then we found jobs for six other people
1463
01:03:49,470 --> 01:03:51,520
and they've all gone off relief.
1464
01:03:51,540 --> 01:03:53,040
And my boss, Mr. Schwabacher,
1465
01:03:53,060 --> 01:03:55,260
made a job in his warehouse
for old man Delaney.
1466
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:56,860
And he gave you that $5 raise.
1467
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,977
Yeah, wasn't that swell?
1468
01:04:00,823 --> 01:04:03,140
Why, Bert, I feel slighted.
1469
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:06,150
I'd like to join, but nobody asked me.
1470
01:04:06,170 --> 01:04:08,550
I'm sorry, Mayor, but we voted
1471
01:04:08,570 --> 01:04:10,470
that no politician could join.
1472
01:04:10,490 --> 01:04:13,003
Just the John Does of the neighborhood.
1473
01:04:13,023 --> 01:04:14,663
You know how politicians are.
1474
01:04:14,683 --> 01:04:18,280
Yeah.
1475
01:04:18,300 --> 01:04:22,010
Well the reason we wanted
to tell you this, Mr. Doe,
1476
01:04:22,030 --> 01:04:25,930
was to give you an idea
of what you started.
1477
01:04:25,950 --> 01:04:28,220
From where I'm sitting, I don't see
1478
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:31,039
any sense in you jumping off any building.
1479
01:04:31,059 --> 01:04:32,790
No, no.
1480
01:04:32,810 --> 01:04:34,513
Well, thank you for listening.
1481
01:04:36,070 --> 01:04:37,213
Goodbye, Mr. Doe.
1482
01:04:38,550 --> 01:04:40,210
You're a wonderful man.
1483
01:04:40,230 --> 01:04:42,190
It strikes me you could be mighty useful
1484
01:04:42,210 --> 01:04:43,703
walking around for a while.
1485
01:04:44,822 --> 01:04:47,239
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Mr. Doe.
1486
01:04:54,295 --> 01:04:56,950
I'm Mrs. Delaney, Mr. Doe.
1487
01:04:56,970 --> 01:04:58,723
God bless you, my boy.
1488
01:05:32,998 --> 01:05:35,331
Gee wiz, I'm all mixed up.
1489
01:05:38,750 --> 01:05:39,750
I don't get it.
1490
01:05:41,290 --> 01:05:42,650
Look, all those swell people
1491
01:05:42,670 --> 01:05:44,840
think I'm gonna jump off
a building or something.
1492
01:05:44,860 --> 01:05:46,513
I never had any such idea.
1493
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:50,400
Gosh.
1494
01:05:51,220 --> 01:05:52,910
A fella would have to be
a fine example himself
1495
01:05:52,930 --> 01:05:55,720
to go around telling other people how to...
1496
01:05:55,740 --> 01:05:56,800
Say look, what happened the other night
1497
01:05:56,820 --> 01:05:58,200
was on account of Miss Mitchell here.
1498
01:05:58,220 --> 01:05:59,931
She wrote the stuff.
1499
01:05:59,951 --> 01:06:02,400
Don't you see what a
wonderful thing this can be?
1500
01:06:02,420 --> 01:06:04,390
But we need you, John.
- You're hooked.
1501
01:06:04,410 --> 01:06:06,610
I can see that right now, they got you.
1502
01:06:06,630 --> 01:06:07,773
Well, I'm through.
1503
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:11,950
For three years I've been trying to get you
1504
01:06:11,970 --> 01:06:13,300
up to the Columbia River country.
1505
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,870
First it was your glass
arm, then it was the radio
1506
01:06:15,890 --> 01:06:17,530
and now it's the John Doe Clubs.
1507
01:06:17,550 --> 01:06:19,400
Well, I ain't waiting another minute.
1508
01:06:22,430 --> 01:06:24,310
Gangway, you heelots!
1509
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,299
Hey Colonel, wait a minute.
1510
01:06:27,319 --> 01:06:30,046
Hey, Colonel!
1511
01:06:30,066 --> 01:06:31,260
I want you personally to go along
1512
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:32,470
with John Doe and Miss Mitchell
1513
01:06:32,490 --> 01:06:33,910
and handle the press and the radio.
1514
01:06:33,930 --> 01:06:34,744
- Me?
- Yes.
1515
01:06:34,764 --> 01:06:35,830
I won't take any chances.
1516
01:06:35,850 --> 01:06:37,080
And Johnson.
- Yes, D.B.?
1517
01:06:37,100 --> 01:06:38,780
Your crew will do the mop up job.
1518
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:40,330
They'll follow John Doe into every town,
1519
01:06:40,350 --> 01:06:41,910
see that the clubs are properly organized
1520
01:06:41,930 --> 01:06:43,500
and the charters issued.
- Right.
1521
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,100
There are eight flags up there now.
1522
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:48,095
I want to see that map
covered before we get through.
1523
01:07:52,962 --> 01:07:54,830
This has grown like wildfire.
1524
01:07:54,850 --> 01:07:56,393
If they made demands I'd understand it,
1525
01:07:56,413 --> 01:07:59,310
but the John Does ask for nothing.
1526
01:07:59,330 --> 01:08:00,620
People are going off relief.
1527
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,481
If this keeps up, I'll be out of a job.
1528
01:08:02,501 --> 01:08:03,540
As soon as he gets strong enough
1529
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,078
we'll find out what he wants.
1530
01:08:05,098 --> 01:08:07,850
30 every Thursday, 60 at 60.
1531
01:08:07,870 --> 01:08:09,510
Who knows what?
1532
01:08:09,530 --> 01:08:10,384
I'm sorry, boss, they just won't let
1533
01:08:10,404 --> 01:08:11,943
anybody talk politics with him, it's crazy.
1534
01:08:11,963 --> 01:08:13,845
We've got to get to them.
1535
01:08:13,865 --> 01:08:16,626
They represent millions of voters.
1536
01:08:24,860 --> 01:08:26,050
I tell you ladies and gentlemen,
1537
01:08:26,070 --> 01:08:28,350
this thing has been nothing
short of a prairie fire.
1538
01:08:28,370 --> 01:08:30,450
We've received so many
applications for charters
1539
01:08:30,470 --> 01:08:31,284
for the John Doe clubs we haven't
1540
01:08:31,304 --> 01:08:32,700
been able to take care of them.
1541
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:34,583
I'd hate to have
that many pins stuck in me.
1542
01:08:35,581 --> 01:08:37,230
This John Doe convention is a natural.
1543
01:08:37,250 --> 01:08:39,400
It's going to put our city on the map.
1544
01:08:39,420 --> 01:08:41,300
Why over 2,400 John Doe clubs
1545
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:43,420
are sending delegates,
can you imagine that?
1546
01:08:43,440 --> 01:08:44,990
You Mr. Mayor will be the official host.
1547
01:08:45,010 --> 01:08:46,780
You will make the arrangements
for decorating the city,
1548
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,270
parades and a reception for
John Doe when he gets home.
1549
01:08:49,290 --> 01:08:51,157
And don't wear your high hat.
1550
01:08:51,177 --> 01:08:52,790
- No high hat?
- No high hat.
1551
01:08:52,810 --> 01:08:54,590
And from you Connell I want a special
1552
01:08:54,610 --> 01:08:57,380
John Doe edition every day
until the convention is over.
1553
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,800
And now please step into the outer office
1554
01:08:59,820 --> 01:09:00,721
and look your prettiest
1555
01:09:00,741 --> 01:09:02,010
because there are photographers there
1556
01:09:02,030 --> 01:09:03,425
to take pictures of this committee.
1557
01:09:03,445 --> 01:09:05,330
Don't worry, D.B.,
everything will be taken care of.
1558
01:09:05,350 --> 01:09:07,185
- Sure.
- Isn't it all too wonderful?
1559
01:09:10,190 --> 01:09:11,061
- Oh Mr.
Mayor, would you sit down
1560
01:09:11,081 --> 01:09:11,948
in the front row please?
1561
01:09:11,968 --> 01:09:13,890
You ladies get close to him.
1562
01:09:13,910 --> 01:09:15,990
- Well, I don't get it.
- Get what?
1563
01:09:16,010 --> 01:09:18,590
Look D.B. I'm supposed
to know my way around.
1564
01:09:18,610 --> 01:09:20,840
This John Doe movement's
cost you a fortune.
1565
01:09:20,860 --> 01:09:23,000
Now this convention is
going to cost plenty.
1566
01:09:23,020 --> 01:09:24,020
Well?
1567
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:25,798
I'm stuck with two and two
1568
01:09:25,818 --> 01:09:28,245
and I'm a sucker if I
can make four out of it.
1569
01:09:28,265 --> 01:09:29,315
Where do you come in?
1570
01:09:32,988 --> 01:09:34,850
I have the satisfaction of knowing
1571
01:09:34,870 --> 01:09:37,393
that my money has been
spent for a worthy cause.
1572
01:09:38,288 --> 01:09:41,310
I see, I better stick to running the paper.
1573
01:09:41,330 --> 01:09:42,880
I think maybe you better had.
1574
01:09:47,094 --> 01:09:50,560
Connell, I'd like to have
the John Doe contract,
1575
01:09:50,580 --> 01:09:51,680
all of the receipts for the money
1576
01:09:51,700 --> 01:09:53,410
we advanced for the
letter Miss Mitchell wrote
1577
01:09:53,430 --> 01:09:55,477
for which I gave her a $1,000.
1578
01:09:56,540 --> 01:09:57,633
Yes, sure.
1579
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,790
Well we leave for the
airport in half an hour.
1580
01:10:01,810 --> 01:10:03,130
Is that Johnny boy's room?
1581
01:10:03,150 --> 01:10:03,964
Better hustle him up.
1582
01:10:03,984 --> 01:10:05,250
He'll be ready on time, he's packing now.
1583
01:10:05,270 --> 01:10:06,084
Ah good.
1584
01:10:06,104 --> 01:10:08,000
Did you see his picture
on the cover of Time?
1585
01:10:08,020 --> 01:10:08,921
Yeah.
1586
01:10:08,941 --> 01:10:10,380
I gotta give you credit, Annie girl.
1587
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,650
I've handled a good many
big promotions in my time,
1588
01:10:12,670 --> 01:10:14,690
from the World's Fair to a channel swimmer,
1589
01:10:14,710 --> 01:10:17,730
but this one has certainly got me spinning.
1590
01:10:17,750 --> 01:10:20,130
And now, a John Doe convention.
1591
01:10:20,150 --> 01:10:21,150
Wow.
1592
01:10:21,870 --> 01:10:23,350
Hey, if you could only get him
1593
01:10:23,370 --> 01:10:26,640
to jump off City Hall
roof on Christmas Eve,
1594
01:10:26,660 --> 01:10:28,889
I'd guarantee you a half
a million people there.
1595
01:10:28,909 --> 01:10:30,471
- Charlie?
- Hmm?
1596
01:10:30,491 --> 01:10:32,103
What do you make of him?
1597
01:10:32,123 --> 01:10:33,123
Who, Johnny boy?
1598
01:10:34,270 --> 01:10:36,643
Well, I don't know what angle you want
1599
01:10:36,663 --> 01:10:38,310
but I'll give it to you quick.
1600
01:10:38,330 --> 01:10:41,700
Number one, he's got great yokel
appeal but he's a nice guy.
1601
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:44,050
Number two, he's beginning
to believe he really wrote
1602
01:10:44,070 --> 01:10:46,390
that original suicide
letter that you made up.
1603
01:10:46,410 --> 01:10:49,760
Number three, he thinks you're
Joan of Arc or something.
1604
01:10:49,780 --> 01:10:50,594
Yeah I know.
1605
01:10:50,614 --> 01:10:54,590
Number four, well,
you know what number four is.
1606
01:10:54,610 --> 01:10:55,600
He's nuts about you.
1607
01:10:55,620 --> 01:10:57,640
Yeah it's running out of his ears.
1608
01:10:57,660 --> 01:10:58,930
You left out number five.
1609
01:10:58,950 --> 01:11:00,653
We're all heels, me especially.
1610
01:11:01,731 --> 01:11:02,881
Holy smoke.
1611
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:04,800
Come in.
1612
01:11:10,761 --> 01:11:11,575
I'm all packed.
1613
01:11:11,595 --> 01:11:13,083
Good, I'll go and get Beany boy.
1614
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,071
Okay, Charlie boy.
1615
01:11:29,290 --> 01:11:31,476
Do you care if I sit down, out here?
1616
01:11:31,496 --> 01:11:36,496
No.
1617
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:46,043
You know, I had a crazy dream last night.
1618
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:50,337
It was about you.
1619
01:11:51,518 --> 01:11:52,518
About me?
1620
01:11:53,660 --> 01:11:54,474
Sure was crazy.
1621
01:11:54,494 --> 01:11:56,323
I dreamt I was your father.
1622
01:12:01,846 --> 01:12:04,973
There was something I was
trying to stop you from doing.
1623
01:12:06,010 --> 01:12:10,340
So, I got up out of bed, and I walked right
1624
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,580
through the wall here, right
straight into your room.
1625
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:14,833
You know how dreams are.
1626
01:12:16,190 --> 01:12:18,990
And there you were in bed,
but you were a little girl,
1627
01:12:19,010 --> 01:12:21,963
you know about 10 and very pretty, too.
1628
01:12:23,590 --> 01:12:26,790
So I shook you and the moment you opened
1629
01:12:26,810 --> 01:12:28,660
your eyes, you hopped out of bed
1630
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:29,801
and started running like the devil.
1631
01:12:29,821 --> 01:12:30,634
In your nightgown.
1632
01:12:30,654 --> 01:12:31,468
You ran right out the window there
1633
01:12:31,488 --> 01:12:33,250
and you ran over the tops of buildings
1634
01:12:33,270 --> 01:12:36,187
and roofs and everything for
miles and I was chasing you.
1635
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,420
And all the time you were running,
1636
01:12:40,440 --> 01:12:42,550
you kept growing bigger
and bigger and bigger.
1637
01:12:42,570 --> 01:12:44,060
And pretty soon you were as big
1638
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,833
as you are now, you know, grown up?
1639
01:12:47,690 --> 01:12:50,600
And all the time I kept asking myself,
1640
01:12:50,620 --> 01:12:51,993
what am I chasing her for?
1641
01:12:53,199 --> 01:12:54,533
And I didn't know.
1642
01:12:56,302 --> 01:12:57,352
Isn't that a hot one?
1643
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,550
Well anyway, you ran into some place
1644
01:13:01,570 --> 01:13:02,620
and then I ran in after you.
1645
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:07,253
And when I got there there
you were getting married.
1646
01:13:10,519 --> 01:13:14,103
The nightgown had changed
into a beautiful wedding gown.
1647
01:13:16,651 --> 01:13:18,051
You sure looked pretty, too.
1648
01:13:19,570 --> 01:13:22,420
And then I knew what I was
trying to stop you from doing.
1649
01:13:23,700 --> 01:13:26,190
Dreams are sure crazy, aren't they?
1650
01:13:26,210 --> 01:13:31,210
Well, would you like to know
who it was you were marrying?
1651
01:13:32,043 --> 01:13:35,683
Oh, a tall handsome Ubangi, I suppose.
1652
01:13:36,759 --> 01:13:37,651
No, not that bad.
1653
01:13:37,671 --> 01:13:40,340
It was the fella that sends
you flowers every day.
1654
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:41,311
Yeah, what's his name?
1655
01:13:41,331 --> 01:13:42,583
Mr. Norton's nephew?
1656
01:13:44,550 --> 01:13:46,443
- Ted Sheldon.
- Yeah, that's the one.
1657
01:13:47,550 --> 01:13:50,180
But here's the funniest part of it all.
1658
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:52,100
I was the fella up there
doing the marrying.
1659
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,210
You know, the Justice of
the Peace or something.
1660
01:13:54,230 --> 01:13:55,117
You were?
1661
01:13:55,137 --> 01:13:56,730
I thought you were chasing me.
1662
01:13:56,750 --> 01:13:59,733
Well, yes I was, but I was
your father then you see?
1663
01:14:00,610 --> 01:14:05,120
But the real me, John Doe,
that is Long John Willoughby,
1664
01:14:05,140 --> 01:14:08,020
I was the fella with a book.
1665
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,390
You know what I mean?
- I guess so.
1666
01:14:10,410 --> 01:14:11,920
Then what happened?
1667
01:14:11,940 --> 01:14:16,526
Well I took you across my
knee and I started spanking you.
1668
01:14:16,546 --> 01:14:19,070
That is, I didn't do
it, I mean I did do it.
1669
01:14:19,090 --> 01:14:21,393
But it wasn't me, see,
I was your father then.
1670
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,547
Well I had you across my knee and I said,
1671
01:14:25,567 --> 01:14:30,493
"Annie, I won't allow you to
marry a man that's just rich
1672
01:14:31,867 --> 01:14:35,137
"or that has his secretary
send you flowers.
1673
01:14:35,157 --> 01:14:38,027
"The man you marry has got
to swim rivers for you,
1674
01:14:38,047 --> 01:14:40,647
"he's got to climb high mountains for you,
1675
01:14:40,667 --> 01:14:42,207
"he's got to slay dragons for you.
1676
01:14:42,227 --> 01:14:45,760
"He's got to perform
wonderful deeds for you."
1677
01:14:45,780 --> 01:14:47,640
Yes sir, and all the time,
1678
01:14:47,660 --> 01:14:50,150
the guy up there you
know with the book, me,
1679
01:14:50,170 --> 01:14:52,917
just stood there noddin'
his head and he said,
1680
01:14:52,937 --> 01:14:54,267
"go to it Pop, whack her one for me
1681
01:14:54,287 --> 01:14:57,060
"because that's the way
I feel about it too."
1682
01:14:57,910 --> 01:15:01,160
So he says, "come down
and whack her yourself."
1683
01:15:01,180 --> 01:15:04,390
So I came down and I
whacked you a good one, see?
1684
01:15:04,410 --> 01:15:06,910
The he whacked you and I
whacked you another one.
1685
01:15:06,930 --> 01:15:08,867
We both started whacking you like...
1686
01:15:10,609 --> 01:15:11,630
Well if you're through whacking her
1687
01:15:11,650 --> 01:15:12,820
come on let's get going.
1688
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:14,940
Okay fellas, right in here.
1689
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:15,774
You go out the side entrance.
1690
01:15:15,794 --> 01:15:18,310
There's a bunch of
autograph seekers out front.
1691
01:15:18,330 --> 01:15:20,843
We'll be down with the bags in a minute.
1692
01:15:22,050 --> 01:15:24,860
Come on, don't make a
Government project out of this.
1693
01:15:27,910 --> 01:15:29,260
Hi, Beany.
1694
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:31,099
When's our plane take off again?
1695
01:15:31,119 --> 01:15:32,677
Couple of minutes.
1696
01:15:32,697 --> 01:15:35,950
How many people do you
think we've talked to already,
1697
01:15:35,970 --> 01:15:37,482
outside the radio, I mean?
1698
01:15:37,502 --> 01:15:40,802
Oh, I don't know, about 300,000.
1699
01:15:40,822 --> 01:15:41,822
300,000.
1700
01:15:43,380 --> 01:15:44,730
What makes them do it, Ann?
1701
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:47,136
What makes them come and listen
1702
01:15:47,156 --> 01:15:50,663
and get up their John Doe
Clubs the way they do?
1703
01:15:52,832 --> 01:15:53,801
I've been trying to figure it out.
1704
01:15:53,821 --> 01:15:56,940
Look, John, what we're
handing them are platitudes
1705
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:58,680
things they've heard a million times.
1706
01:15:58,700 --> 01:16:00,830
Love thy neighbor, clouds
have silver linings,
1707
01:16:00,850 --> 01:16:01,663
turn the other cheek.
1708
01:16:01,683 --> 01:16:02,497
It's just...
1709
01:16:02,517 --> 01:16:03,663
Yeah I heard 'em a million times too,
1710
01:16:03,683 --> 01:16:08,683
but they are, maybe they're like me,
1711
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:13,603
just beginning to get an
idea what those things mean.
1712
01:16:13,623 --> 01:16:15,540
I never really thought
much about people before.
1713
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,173
They were always just somebody
to fill up the bleachers.
1714
01:16:19,050 --> 01:16:21,140
Only time I worried about them is if they...
1715
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,273
is when they didn't see me pitch.
1716
01:16:25,110 --> 01:16:27,500
You know, lately I've been
1717
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:29,220
watching them when I talk to them.
1718
01:16:30,210 --> 01:16:32,033
I see something in their faces.
1719
01:16:33,570 --> 01:16:38,473
I could feel that they
were hungry for something.
1720
01:16:40,083 --> 01:16:41,380
You know what I mean?
1721
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:42,590
Maybe that's why they came.
1722
01:16:42,610 --> 01:16:44,800
Maybe they're just lonely
1723
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,080
and wanted somebody to say hello to.
1724
01:16:49,844 --> 01:16:51,925
I know how they feel.
1725
01:16:51,945 --> 01:16:54,263
I've been lonely and hungry for something
1726
01:16:54,283 --> 01:16:59,283
practically all my life.
1727
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:04,510
All aboard, folks.
1728
01:17:04,530 --> 01:17:05,401
We'll have the city behind us.
1729
01:17:05,421 --> 01:17:06,757
Yeah, that's true.
1730
01:17:07,694 --> 01:17:08,984
Oh, somebody else sitting here?
1731
01:17:09,004 --> 01:17:11,052
No, that's your seat.
1732
01:17:11,072 --> 01:17:13,184
And this is your coat.
1733
01:17:13,204 --> 01:17:14,320
Mine?
1734
01:17:14,340 --> 01:17:17,066
A little token of appreciation.
1735
01:17:17,086 --> 01:17:18,086
Oh.
1736
01:17:19,993 --> 01:17:21,990
Oh, it's beautiful, D.B.
1737
01:17:22,010 --> 01:17:25,037
Well, I don't quite know what to say.
1738
01:17:25,057 --> 01:17:28,890
Oh don't say anything
at all, just sit down.
1739
01:17:31,490 --> 01:17:33,163
Go ahead and open it, open it.
1740
01:17:36,932 --> 01:17:37,932
Oh.
1741
01:17:41,285 --> 01:17:42,750
Oh it's lovely.
1742
01:17:42,770 --> 01:17:44,593
And a new contract goes with it.
1743
01:17:48,892 --> 01:17:51,317
Well, come on spring it.
1744
01:17:51,337 --> 01:17:53,920
You've got something on your mind.
1745
01:17:53,940 --> 01:17:56,170
Must be stupendous.
1746
01:17:56,190 --> 01:17:57,843
You know that's what I like about her.
1747
01:17:57,863 --> 01:18:02,132
Right to the point like that.
1748
01:18:02,152 --> 01:18:04,760
Alright practical Annie, here it is.
1749
01:18:04,780 --> 01:18:07,507
Tomorrow night, before
a crowd of 15,000 people
1750
01:18:07,527 --> 01:18:10,350
and talking over a
nationwide radio hook-up,
1751
01:18:10,370 --> 01:18:14,692
John Doe will announce the
formation of a third party.
1752
01:18:14,712 --> 01:18:16,010
A third party?
1753
01:18:16,030 --> 01:18:18,590
Yes, the John Doe Party,
1754
01:18:18,610 --> 01:18:20,150
devoted entirely to the interests
1755
01:18:20,170 --> 01:18:23,260
of all the John Does all over the country.
1756
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:27,733
Which practically means 90% of the voters.
1757
01:18:28,590 --> 01:18:30,879
He will also announce the third party's
1758
01:18:30,899 --> 01:18:33,316
candidate for the presidency.
1759
01:18:34,505 --> 01:18:37,260
A man who he personally recommends.
1760
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:38,730
A great humanitarian.
1761
01:18:38,750 --> 01:18:40,670
The best friend the John Does have.
1762
01:18:42,621 --> 01:18:44,375
Mr. D.B. Norton.
1763
01:18:44,395 --> 01:18:49,395
Yes.
1764
01:18:51,630 --> 01:18:52,630
Wow.
1765
01:18:53,813 --> 01:18:58,023
♪ Glory, glory, hallelujah ♪
1766
01:18:58,043 --> 01:19:02,540
♪ Glory, glory, hallelujah ♪
1767
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:06,567
♪ Glory, glory, hallelujah ♪
1768
01:19:06,587 --> 01:19:10,668
♪ His truth is marching on ♪
1769
01:19:18,389 --> 01:19:19,203
And although the opening
1770
01:19:19,223 --> 01:19:20,860
of the convention is
hours off the delegates
1771
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,330
are already pouring into
the ball park by the droves
1772
01:19:23,350 --> 01:19:26,470
with lunch baskets, banners
and petitions asking John Doe
1773
01:19:26,490 --> 01:19:28,135
not to jump off any roof.
1774
01:19:28,155 --> 01:19:28,969
No matter how you look at it,
1775
01:19:28,989 --> 01:19:31,260
it's still a phenomenal movement.
1776
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:33,480
These John Does or the hoy polloi,
1777
01:19:33,500 --> 01:19:34,743
as you've heard people call them,
1778
01:19:34,763 --> 01:19:36,890
have been laughed at and ridiculed,
1779
01:19:36,910 --> 01:19:39,060
but here they are gay and happy,
1780
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:42,320
having traveled 1,000s of
miles, their expenses paid
1781
01:19:42,340 --> 01:19:44,940
by their neighbors to come to pay homage
1782
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,790
to their hero John Doe.
1783
01:19:46,810 --> 01:19:49,500
And in these days of wars and bombings,
1784
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:51,259
it's a hopeful sign that a simple idea
1785
01:19:51,279 --> 01:19:53,180
like this can sweep the country.
1786
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:57,020
An idea based on friendliness,
on giving and not taking,
1787
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,860
on helping your neighbor and
asking nothing in return.
1788
01:19:59,880 --> 01:20:01,780
And if a thing like this can happen,
1789
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:03,640
don't let any of your grumbling friends
1790
01:20:03,660 --> 01:20:06,680
tell you that humanity is falling apart.
1791
01:20:06,700 --> 01:20:09,070
This is John B. Hughes signing off now,
1792
01:20:09,090 --> 01:20:10,550
returning you to our main studio
1793
01:20:10,570 --> 01:20:13,603
until nine o'clock when the
convention will officially open.
1794
01:20:15,740 --> 01:20:17,140
Oh, John, come in.
1795
01:20:18,410 --> 01:20:19,720
Say, I'm kind of...
1796
01:20:20,901 --> 01:20:22,631
It's raining out a little.
- That's all right.
1797
01:20:22,651 --> 01:20:25,659
It's good to see you, sit down.
1798
01:20:25,679 --> 01:20:26,679
Thanks.
1799
01:20:42,030 --> 01:20:43,370
It's for Ann.
1800
01:20:43,390 --> 01:20:46,130
Oh how nice, thank you very much.
1801
01:20:46,150 --> 01:20:47,150
Flowers.
1802
01:20:48,540 --> 01:20:50,340
I'm terribly sorry she isn't here.
1803
01:20:51,250 --> 01:20:52,064
She isn't?
1804
01:20:52,084 --> 01:20:54,280
No, she just left, I'm
surprised you didn't run into her.
1805
01:20:54,300 --> 01:20:56,100
She went over to Mr. Norton's house.
1806
01:20:56,936 --> 01:20:57,936
Oh.
1807
01:20:59,530 --> 01:21:02,440
Did you want to see her
about something important?
1808
01:21:02,460 --> 01:21:04,483
Yeah, well, no, it'll wait.
1809
01:21:06,486 --> 01:21:07,800
Say he's a nice man, isn't he?
1810
01:21:07,820 --> 01:21:09,110
Mr. Norton, I mean.
1811
01:21:10,390 --> 01:21:12,063
He's done a lot for the...
1812
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,743
Say, my coat's pretty wet.
1813
01:21:21,763 --> 01:21:23,753
I'm afraid I might have
wet the couch a little.
1814
01:21:29,573 --> 01:21:31,777
I'll I guess I'll see her
at the convention later.
1815
01:21:31,797 --> 01:21:35,048
Yes of course, I'll see
that she gets the flowers.
1816
01:21:35,068 --> 01:21:35,882
Thanks.
1817
01:21:35,902 --> 01:21:38,243
Good night, Mrs. Mitchell.
- Good night, John.
1818
01:21:44,863 --> 01:21:49,196
Say Mrs. Mitchell I'm
kind of glad Ann isn't here.
1819
01:21:51,726 --> 01:21:56,130
You see, I came over here
hoping to see her alone
1820
01:21:56,150 --> 01:21:59,870
and kind of hoping I wouldn't
too you know what I mean?
1821
01:21:59,890 --> 01:22:02,513
There was something I
wanted to talk to her about.
1822
01:22:05,740 --> 01:22:07,413
Well it can wait, I guess.
1823
01:22:09,230 --> 01:22:10,983
- Good night.
- Good night, John.
1824
01:22:15,154 --> 01:22:18,760
Say look Mrs. Mitchell,
have you ever been married?
1825
01:22:18,780 --> 01:22:20,980
Well, sure you have, gosh.
1826
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:22,000
That's pretty silly.
1827
01:22:23,490 --> 01:22:25,790
Well I guess you must
think I'm kind of batty.
1828
01:22:27,475 --> 01:22:30,013
Well I guess I better be going at that.
1829
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:35,733
John, my husband said,
1830
01:22:35,753 --> 01:22:37,587
"I love you, will you marry me?"
1831
01:22:38,440 --> 01:22:39,440
He did?
1832
01:22:40,650 --> 01:22:41,870
What happened?
1833
01:22:41,890 --> 01:22:42,890
I married him.
1834
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:46,931
Yeah, that's what I mean, see?
1835
01:22:46,951 --> 01:22:48,401
It was easy as all that, huh?
1836
01:22:50,300 --> 01:22:51,813
Yeah, but look Mrs. Mitchell.
1837
01:22:53,210 --> 01:22:56,180
You know I love Ann, and
it's gonna be awfully hard
1838
01:22:56,200 --> 01:23:01,200
for me to say it 'cause well
you know she's so wonderful
1839
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:04,813
and well the best I ever was
was a bush league pitcher.
1840
01:23:06,540 --> 01:23:07,623
And you know I think she's in love
1841
01:23:07,643 --> 01:23:11,100
with another man, the one she made up.
1842
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:12,593
You know, the real John Doe.
1843
01:23:13,605 --> 01:23:16,490
Well that's pretty tough competition.
1844
01:23:16,510 --> 01:23:18,010
I bet he'd know how to say it alright.
1845
01:23:18,030 --> 01:23:22,413
But me, I get up to it and
around and in back of it,
1846
01:23:22,433 --> 01:23:25,040
but I never get right to it.
1847
01:23:25,060 --> 01:23:26,790
You know what I mean?
1848
01:23:26,810 --> 01:23:28,930
So the only chance I've got is,
1849
01:23:28,950 --> 01:23:32,180
well, if somebody could
kind of give her a warning.
1850
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:34,733
Sort of prepare her for the shock?
1851
01:23:36,180 --> 01:23:37,880
You mean you'd like me to do it?
1852
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:43,273
Well, I was thinking,
yeah sort of break the ice.
1853
01:23:45,291 --> 01:23:46,541
Of course I will, John.
1854
01:23:50,131 --> 01:23:51,481
Thank you, Mrs. Mitchell.
1855
01:23:53,092 --> 01:23:54,092
Hey, you're okay.
1856
01:24:06,420 --> 01:24:07,540
This John Doe meeting is gonna
1857
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:09,212
be one of the biggest things ever happened.
1858
01:24:09,232 --> 01:24:10,046
Is that so?
1859
01:24:10,066 --> 01:24:12,480
Why they're coming from all
over, trains, boxcars, wagons.
1860
01:24:12,500 --> 01:24:13,850
Look out!
1861
01:24:13,870 --> 01:24:15,650
Hello, bodyguards, hey
have your dinner yet?
1862
01:24:15,670 --> 01:24:17,290
- Not yet.
- Oh that's all right.
1863
01:24:17,310 --> 01:24:18,410
No, go and have dinner.
1864
01:24:18,430 --> 01:24:19,563
Wait a minute, John.
1865
01:24:24,460 --> 01:24:27,090
- Hello, Mr. Connell.
- How are you, John?
1866
01:24:27,110 --> 01:24:29,363
John, I want to have a
little talk with you.
1867
01:24:31,380 --> 01:24:32,194
What's the matter?
1868
01:24:32,214 --> 01:24:33,274
Are you falling?
1869
01:24:33,294 --> 01:24:34,540
Come on.
1870
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:36,780
- Hey, Boss.
- Oh, quiet, quiet, quiet.
1871
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:38,677
So tell me something, did you read
1872
01:24:38,697 --> 01:24:40,700
the speech you're going to make tonight?
1873
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:42,570
No, I never read the
speeches before I make them.
1874
01:24:42,590 --> 01:24:44,090
I get more of a kick out of it that way.
1875
01:24:44,110 --> 01:24:46,567
Uh-huh, it's just exactly what I thought.
1876
01:24:46,587 --> 01:24:48,020
Beany, go on down to the office,
1877
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:48,854
tell Pop to give you the speech.
1878
01:24:48,874 --> 01:24:50,380
There's a copy on my desk.
1879
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:52,140
Gee wiz boss, you know Mr. Norton
1880
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:54,212
told me not to leave
him, even for a minute.
1881
01:24:54,232 --> 01:24:55,046
Go on, go on, go on.
1882
01:24:55,066 --> 01:24:57,533
We'll be at Jim's Bar, up the street.
1883
01:24:58,430 --> 01:25:00,430
You're a nice guy, John.
1884
01:25:00,450 --> 01:25:04,460
I like you, you're gentle.
1885
01:25:04,480 --> 01:25:05,880
I always like gentle people.
1886
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,620
Me, I'm hard.
1887
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:10,763
Hard and tough.
1888
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:13,727
I got no use for hard people.
1889
01:25:15,510 --> 01:25:17,300
Gotta be gentle to suit me.
1890
01:25:21,470 --> 01:25:22,803
Like you, for instance.
1891
01:25:30,540 --> 01:25:31,354
Yep, I'm hard.
1892
01:25:31,374 --> 01:25:34,040
But you want to know something?
1893
01:25:34,060 --> 01:25:35,777
I've got a weakness.
1894
01:25:35,797 --> 01:25:37,522
You'd never guess that would you?
1895
01:25:37,542 --> 01:25:39,345
Well, I have.
1896
01:25:39,365 --> 01:25:41,641
Wanna know what it is?
1897
01:25:41,661 --> 01:25:43,107
The Star Spangled Banner.
1898
01:25:44,310 --> 01:25:46,230
Screwy, huh?
1899
01:25:46,250 --> 01:25:47,720
Maybe it is.
1900
01:25:47,740 --> 01:25:51,880
Play The Star Spangled Banner
and I'm a sucker for it.
1901
01:25:51,900 --> 01:25:53,978
Always gets me right here.
1902
01:25:53,998 --> 01:25:55,472
You know what I mean?
1903
01:25:55,492 --> 01:25:58,057
Yeah, it gets me right back here.
1904
01:25:58,077 --> 01:25:59,077
Oh, back there, huh?
1905
01:26:00,030 --> 01:26:02,733
Well, every man to his own taste.
1906
01:26:06,099 --> 01:26:11,099
You weren't old enough for
the world war were you then?
1907
01:26:11,965 --> 01:26:14,119
No, no of course not.
1908
01:26:14,139 --> 01:26:15,639
You must have been just a kid.
1909
01:26:16,990 --> 01:26:17,990
I was.
1910
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:24,053
I was just ripe and raring to go.
1911
01:26:25,167 --> 01:26:28,310
Know what my old man did when I joined up?
1912
01:26:28,330 --> 01:26:29,330
He joined up too.
1913
01:26:30,460 --> 01:26:31,374
Got to be a sergeant.
1914
01:26:31,394 --> 01:26:33,327
And here's a kick for you.
1915
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:35,550
We were in the same outfit.
1916
01:26:36,664 --> 01:26:37,664
Funny, huh?
1917
01:26:43,447 --> 01:26:45,114
He was killed, John.
1918
01:26:47,580 --> 01:26:49,140
I saw him get it.
1919
01:26:51,230 --> 01:26:54,437
I was right there and
saw it with my own eyes.
1920
01:27:00,090 --> 01:27:02,513
Me, I came out without a scratch.
1921
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:06,893
That is, excepting my ulcers.
1922
01:27:12,270 --> 01:27:15,023
I should be drinking milk,
you know this stuff is poison.
1923
01:27:16,116 --> 01:27:17,116
Hey, Jimmy.
1924
01:27:17,890 --> 01:27:19,042
Yes, Mr. Connell?
1925
01:27:19,062 --> 01:27:23,337
- What do you say, huh?
- All right.
1926
01:27:23,357 --> 01:27:26,217
Yep, I'm a sucker for this country.
1927
01:27:26,237 --> 01:27:27,964
I'm a sucker for The Star Spangled Banner
1928
01:27:27,984 --> 01:27:29,980
and I'm a sucker for this country.
1929
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,664
I like what we got here.
1930
01:27:32,684 --> 01:27:33,684
I like it.
1931
01:27:35,300 --> 01:27:38,940
A guy can say what he wants
and do what he wants without
1932
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:41,520
having a bayonet shoved through his belly.
1933
01:27:41,540 --> 01:27:42,590
And that's all right.
1934
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:45,247
- You betcha.
- Yeah.
1935
01:27:45,267 --> 01:27:49,299
And we don't anybody coming
around changing that, do we?
1936
01:27:49,319 --> 01:27:50,986
- No, sir.
- No, sir.
1937
01:27:51,850 --> 01:27:56,850
When they do, I get mad, I get boiling mad.
1938
01:27:58,241 --> 01:27:59,450
Right now, I'm sizzling.
1939
01:28:01,940 --> 01:28:05,263
I get mad for a lot of
other guys besides myself.
1940
01:28:06,550 --> 01:28:08,883
I get mad for a guy named Washington.
1941
01:28:10,327 --> 01:28:13,950
And a guy named Jefferson and Lincoln.
1942
01:28:15,030 --> 01:28:16,463
Lighthouses, John.
1943
01:28:17,930 --> 01:28:20,573
Lighthouses in a foggy world.
1944
01:28:23,138 --> 01:28:25,302
You know what I mean?
1945
01:28:25,322 --> 01:28:26,655
Yeah, you bet.
1946
01:28:27,980 --> 01:28:28,980
Listen, pal.
1947
01:28:29,906 --> 01:28:33,080
This fifth column stuff is
pretty rotten, isn't it?
1948
01:28:33,100 --> 01:28:35,458
Yeah, it certainly is.
1949
01:28:35,478 --> 01:28:36,914
And you'd feel like an awful sucker
1950
01:28:36,934 --> 01:28:38,510
if you found yourself marching
1951
01:28:38,530 --> 01:28:40,303
right in the middle of it, wouldn't you?
1952
01:28:40,323 --> 01:28:45,323
You, of course you wouldn't
know it because you're gentle.
1953
01:28:45,475 --> 01:28:47,717
But that's what you're doing.
1954
01:28:47,737 --> 01:28:50,617
You're mixed up with a skunk, my boy.
1955
01:28:51,830 --> 01:28:54,393
A no good, dangerous skunk.
1956
01:28:57,870 --> 01:29:00,450
You're not talking
about Mr. Norton are you?
1957
01:29:00,470 --> 01:29:03,143
I'm not talking about his
grandfather's pet poodle.
1958
01:29:07,501 --> 01:29:09,430
You must be wrong, Mr. Connell.
1959
01:29:09,450 --> 01:29:11,580
He's been marvelous
about the John Doe Clubs.
1960
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,890
Yeah.
1961
01:29:13,910 --> 01:29:16,703
Say, you're sold on this John Doe idea?
1962
01:29:17,684 --> 01:29:18,498
Sure.
1963
01:29:18,518 --> 01:29:20,595
Yeah sure, I don't blame you, sure.
1964
01:29:20,615 --> 01:29:24,730
It's a beautiful miracle, a
miracle that can only happen
1965
01:29:24,750 --> 01:29:29,093
right here in the good old
USA, and I think it's terrific.
1966
01:29:29,113 --> 01:29:30,620
What do you think of that?
1967
01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:34,873
Me, hard-boiled Connell, and
I think it's plenty terrific.
1968
01:29:36,470 --> 01:29:37,291
Alright.
1969
01:29:37,311 --> 01:29:40,250
Now supposing a certain unmentionable worm,
1970
01:29:40,270 --> 01:29:43,180
who's initials are D.B.,
1971
01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:45,170
was trying to use that to shove
1972
01:29:45,190 --> 01:29:47,660
his way into the White House.
1973
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:49,703
So he could put the screws on.
1974
01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:54,263
So he could turn out the
lights in those lighthouses.
1975
01:29:57,830 --> 01:29:59,460
What would you say about that?
1976
01:30:00,672 --> 01:30:02,152
Nobody's gonna do that Mr. Connell.
1977
01:30:02,993 --> 01:30:06,190
They can't use the John
Doe Clubs for politics.
1978
01:30:06,210 --> 01:30:08,010
That's the main idea.
- Is that so?
1979
01:30:09,060 --> 01:30:10,760
Then what's a big political boss
1980
01:30:10,780 --> 01:30:12,267
like Hammett doing in town?
1981
01:30:12,287 --> 01:30:14,837
And a labor leader like Bennett.
1982
01:30:14,857 --> 01:30:15,671
And lots of other big shots that
1983
01:30:15,691 --> 01:30:18,048
are up at D.B.'s house right now.
1984
01:30:18,068 --> 01:30:20,003
Wolves, John, wolves.
1985
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:22,763
Waiting to cut up the John Does.
1986
01:30:24,770 --> 01:30:25,621
Wait till you get a gander
1987
01:30:25,641 --> 01:30:27,620
at that speech you're gonna make tonight.
1988
01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:28,780
You're all wet.
1989
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:30,070
Miss Mitchell writes those speeches
1990
01:30:30,090 --> 01:30:32,110
and nobody can make her
write that kind of stuff.
1991
01:30:32,130 --> 01:30:33,473
They can't huh?
1992
01:30:33,493 --> 01:30:36,640
Who do you think writes 'em, my aunt Emma?
1993
01:30:36,660 --> 01:30:38,610
I know she writes them and gets
1994
01:30:38,630 --> 01:30:40,870
a big bonus for doing them, too.
1995
01:30:40,890 --> 01:30:43,680
A mink coat and diamond bracelet.
1996
01:30:43,700 --> 01:30:45,551
Don't write 'em?
1997
01:30:45,571 --> 01:30:47,150
Why that gold-grabbing dame
1998
01:30:47,170 --> 01:30:48,580
would double cross her own mother
1999
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:50,900
for a handful of Chinese yams.
2000
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:51,920
Shut up.
2001
01:30:53,220 --> 01:30:55,450
If you weren't drunk, I'd...
2002
01:30:55,470 --> 01:30:56,470
Hey, Boss.
2003
01:30:57,410 --> 01:30:59,290
Here's the speech, Boss.
2004
01:30:59,310 --> 01:31:00,830
Hey.
2005
01:31:00,850 --> 01:31:03,630
Go on and read it John,
and then start sockin'.
2006
01:31:05,950 --> 01:31:07,893
Hey wait a minute, Mr. Doe.
2007
01:31:09,623 --> 01:31:11,070
- Jimmy.
- Yes, sir.
2008
01:31:11,090 --> 01:31:13,113
Better bring me a glass of milk.
2009
01:31:15,353 --> 01:31:17,030
I'm smoking too much.
2010
01:31:21,220 --> 01:31:23,080
Yes, Charlie, everything all set?
2011
01:31:23,100 --> 01:31:23,914
Fine.
2012
01:31:23,934 --> 01:31:25,642
John Doe been take care of?
2013
01:31:25,662 --> 01:31:26,940
Good.
2014
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:30,010
How many people will be there, 15,000?
2015
01:31:30,030 --> 01:31:32,310
Oh my, that's fine.
2016
01:31:32,330 --> 01:31:33,490
Now listen, Charlie.
2017
01:31:33,510 --> 01:31:35,534
As soon as John Doe stops talking about me
2018
01:31:35,554 --> 01:31:37,330
I want you to start that demonstration,
2019
01:31:37,350 --> 01:31:38,597
and make it a big one you understand?
2020
01:31:38,617 --> 01:31:40,640
Don't worry about that,
D.B. my boys are there.
2021
01:31:40,660 --> 01:31:41,900
They'll take care of it.
2022
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:42,847
What?
2023
01:31:42,867 --> 01:31:45,413
Yes, I'll be there 15 minutes
after I get your call.
2024
01:31:46,630 --> 01:31:48,460
Why, Mr. Doe.
2025
01:31:48,480 --> 01:31:49,698
Where are they?
2026
01:31:49,718 --> 01:31:51,018
In the dining room, sir.
2027
01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:57,610
Gentlemen, I think we're about
2028
01:31:57,630 --> 01:31:59,360
ready to throw that great big bombshell.
2029
01:31:59,380 --> 01:32:01,060
Yeah, it's about time.
2030
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:02,740
Even a conservative estimate shows
2031
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:04,710
that we can count on anywhere between 10
2032
01:32:04,730 --> 01:32:07,070
and 20 million John Doe votes.
2033
01:32:07,090 --> 01:32:10,487
Add that to the labor vote
that Mr. Bennett will throw in.
2034
01:32:10,507 --> 01:32:12,050
And the votes controlled by Mr. Hammett
2035
01:32:12,070 --> 01:32:14,180
and the rest of you gentlemen
in your own territories
2036
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:15,151
and nothing can stop us.
2037
01:32:15,171 --> 01:32:16,909
As I said before, I'm with you,
2038
01:32:16,929 --> 01:32:19,590
providing you can guarantee
the John Doe vote.
2039
01:32:19,610 --> 01:32:20,747
Don't worry about that.
2040
01:32:20,767 --> 01:32:23,310
You can count on me, on one condition.
2041
01:32:23,330 --> 01:32:25,060
Little Bennett's gotta be taken care of.
2042
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:25,894
Didn't I tell you that everybody
2043
01:32:25,914 --> 01:32:27,890
in this room would be taken care of?
2044
01:32:27,910 --> 01:32:30,190
My agreement with you gentlemen stands.
2045
01:32:30,210 --> 01:32:32,300
I'm with you, D.B., but I still think
2046
01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:34,370
it's a very daring thing we're attempting.
2047
01:32:34,390 --> 01:32:36,530
These are daring times, Mr. Barrington.
2048
01:32:36,550 --> 01:32:38,620
We're coming to a new order of things.
2049
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:40,329
There's too much talk been
going in this country.
2050
01:32:40,349 --> 01:32:41,162
That's right.
2051
01:32:41,182 --> 01:32:41,995
Too many concessions have been made.
2052
01:32:42,015 --> 01:32:42,829
True.
2053
01:32:42,849 --> 01:32:43,990
What the American people
need is an iron hand.
2054
01:32:44,010 --> 01:32:45,300
- You're right D.B.
- That's true.
2055
01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:46,680
You're quite right, D.B.
2056
01:32:46,700 --> 01:32:48,783
Quite right.
- Discipline.
2057
01:32:49,857 --> 01:32:53,313
And now may I offer a little
toast to Miss Ann Mitchell,
2058
01:32:54,466 --> 01:32:56,130
the brilliant and beautiful lady
2059
01:32:56,150 --> 01:32:57,950
who is responsible for all this.
2060
01:32:57,970 --> 01:32:59,320
Miss Mitchell.
2061
01:33:00,211 --> 01:33:02,652
Mr. Norton, I'd like to talk
to you alone for a minute.
2062
01:33:02,672 --> 01:33:05,230
Oh, Miss Mitchell has
something to say to us.
2063
01:33:05,250 --> 01:33:06,667
Speech, speech.
2064
01:33:11,504 --> 01:33:12,504
Hello.
2065
01:33:20,888 --> 01:33:22,116
John, I'm so glad to see you.
2066
01:33:22,136 --> 01:33:25,430
I was terribly worried.
- Did you write this?
2067
01:33:25,450 --> 01:33:29,448
Yes I did, John, but I had
no idea what was going on.
2068
01:33:29,468 --> 01:33:30,968
- You didn't?
- No.
2069
01:33:33,300 --> 01:33:35,350
That's a swell bracelet you're wearing.
2070
01:33:39,440 --> 01:33:41,233
John, why aren't you at the convention?
2071
01:33:58,310 --> 01:33:59,124
Is there anything wrong?
2072
01:33:59,144 --> 01:34:00,653
No, no, nothing's wrong.
2073
01:34:01,540 --> 01:34:02,540
Everything's fine.
2074
01:34:03,980 --> 01:34:06,350
So there's going to be a
new order of things, huh?
2075
01:34:06,370 --> 01:34:07,410
Everybody's gonna cut himself
2076
01:34:07,430 --> 01:34:09,720
a nice fat slice of the John Does eh?
2077
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:13,240
You forgot one detail, Mr. Big Shot.
2078
01:34:13,260 --> 01:34:16,620
You forgot me, the prize
stooge of the world.
2079
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:18,233
Why if you or anybody thinks
2080
01:34:18,253 --> 01:34:19,867
he's gonna use the John Doe Clubs
2081
01:34:19,887 --> 01:34:21,110
for his own rotten purpose
2082
01:34:21,130 --> 01:34:23,030
he's going to have to
do it over my dead body.
2083
01:34:23,050 --> 01:34:24,960
Now hold on a minute, young man.
2084
01:34:24,980 --> 01:34:27,130
Hold on, that's rather big talk.
2085
01:34:27,150 --> 01:34:29,980
I started the John Doe Clubs with my money
2086
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:32,410
and I'll decide whether or not
they're being properly used.
2087
01:34:32,430 --> 01:34:33,244
No, you won't.
2088
01:34:33,264 --> 01:34:34,590
You're through deciding anything.
2089
01:34:34,610 --> 01:34:37,350
And what's more, I'm going
down to that convention
2090
01:34:37,370 --> 01:34:39,613
and I'm gonna tell those
people exactly what you
2091
01:34:39,633 --> 01:34:41,650
and all your fine feathered friends here
2092
01:34:41,670 --> 01:34:43,820
are trying to cook up for them.
2093
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:46,203
And I'm gonna say it in
my own words this time.
2094
01:34:48,625 --> 01:34:50,873
Stop him D.B.
2095
01:34:50,893 --> 01:34:52,180
He'll ruin us, D.B..
2096
01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:54,060
Wait a minute, wait a minute fella.
2097
01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:55,707
My uncle wants to talk to you.
2098
01:34:55,727 --> 01:34:57,690
Listen to me, my son.
2099
01:34:57,710 --> 01:34:59,840
Before you lose your head completely,
2100
01:34:59,860 --> 01:35:02,690
may I remind you that I picked
you up out of the gutter,
2101
01:35:02,710 --> 01:35:04,980
and I can throw you right back there again.
2102
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,740
You've got a nerve
accusing people of things.
2103
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:09,450
These gentlemen and I know what's best
2104
01:35:09,470 --> 01:35:10,960
for the John Does of America
2105
01:35:10,980 --> 01:35:13,083
regardless of what tramps like you think.
2106
01:35:14,630 --> 01:35:16,200
Get off that righteous horse of yours
2107
01:35:16,220 --> 01:35:17,790
and come to your senses.
2108
01:35:17,810 --> 01:35:18,870
You're the fake.
2109
01:35:18,890 --> 01:35:20,760
We believe in what we're doing.
2110
01:35:20,780 --> 01:35:23,080
You're the one that was paid
the 30 pieces of silver.
2111
01:35:23,100 --> 01:35:23,914
Have you forgotten that?
2112
01:35:23,934 --> 01:35:25,360
Well, I haven't.
2113
01:35:25,380 --> 01:35:28,040
You're a fake, John
Doe, and I can prove it.
2114
01:35:28,060 --> 01:35:29,358
You're the big hero that's supposed
2115
01:35:29,378 --> 01:35:31,950
to jump off tall buildings and things?
2116
01:35:31,970 --> 01:35:32,931
You remember?
2117
01:35:32,951 --> 01:35:34,720
What do you suppose your precious John Does
2118
01:35:34,740 --> 01:35:36,510
will say when they find out that you never
2119
01:35:36,530 --> 01:35:37,920
had any intention of doing it?
2120
01:35:37,940 --> 01:35:39,880
That you were paid to say so?
2121
01:35:39,900 --> 01:35:42,580
You're lucky they don't
run you out of the country.
2122
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:44,360
With the newspapers and the radio stations
2123
01:35:44,380 --> 01:35:45,750
that these gentlemen control,
2124
01:35:45,770 --> 01:35:48,200
we can kill the John Doe
movement deader than a doornail.
2125
01:35:48,220 --> 01:35:50,620
We'll do it too the moment
you step out of line.
2126
01:35:52,410 --> 01:35:54,360
Now if you still want to go that convention
2127
01:35:54,380 --> 01:35:56,843
and shoot your trap off,
you go ahead and do it.
2128
01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:07,481
You mean, you'd try to
kill the John Doe movement
2129
01:36:07,501 --> 01:36:10,280
if you can't use it to get what you want?
2130
01:36:10,300 --> 01:36:12,493
You bet your bottom dollar we would.
2131
01:36:18,940 --> 01:36:20,763
Well that certainly is a new low.
2132
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:24,663
I guess I've seen everything now.
2133
01:36:27,070 --> 01:36:29,230
You sit there back with your big cigars
2134
01:36:29,250 --> 01:36:30,410
and think of deliberately killing
2135
01:36:30,430 --> 01:36:33,720
an idea that's made millions
of people a little bit happier.
2136
01:36:33,740 --> 01:36:35,660
An idea that's brought thousands of them
2137
01:36:35,680 --> 01:36:37,450
here from all over the country.
2138
01:36:37,470 --> 01:36:40,630
By bus, and by freight
and jalopy and on foot
2139
01:36:40,650 --> 01:36:42,060
so they can pass on to each other
2140
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:44,910
their own simple little experiences.
2141
01:36:44,930 --> 01:36:48,300
Why look, I'm just a mug and I know it,
2142
01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:50,660
but I'm beginning to
understand a lot of things.
2143
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:52,350
Why your types are as old as history.
2144
01:36:52,370 --> 01:36:55,250
If you can't lay your dirty
fingers on a decent idea,
2145
01:36:55,270 --> 01:36:56,443
and twist it and squeeze it and stuff it
2146
01:36:56,463 --> 01:36:59,260
into your pocket you
slap it down like dogs,
2147
01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:02,030
if you can't eat it, you bury it.
2148
01:37:02,050 --> 01:37:05,040
Why this is the one worthwhile
thing that's come along.
2149
01:37:05,060 --> 01:37:06,570
People are finally finding out
2150
01:37:06,590 --> 01:37:08,694
that the guy next door isn't a bad egg.
2151
01:37:08,714 --> 01:37:09,888
That's simple, isn't it?
2152
01:37:09,908 --> 01:37:11,790
And yet a thing like that
has got a chance of spreading
2153
01:37:11,810 --> 01:37:14,217
till it touches last doggone
human being in the world,
2154
01:37:14,237 --> 01:37:17,120
and you talk about killing it.
2155
01:37:17,140 --> 01:37:19,570
Well, when this fire dies
down, what's going to be left?
2156
01:37:19,590 --> 01:37:22,090
More misery, more hunger and more hate.
2157
01:37:22,110 --> 01:37:24,830
And what's to prevent that
from starting all over again?
2158
01:37:24,850 --> 01:37:27,430
Nobody knows the answer to
that one and certainly not you,
2159
01:37:27,450 --> 01:37:29,950
with those slimy, bollixed
up theories you got.
2160
01:37:29,970 --> 01:37:32,270
The John Doe idea may be the answer though.
2161
01:37:32,290 --> 01:37:33,920
It may be the one thing capable
2162
01:37:33,940 --> 01:37:35,080
of saving this cockeyed world,
2163
01:37:35,100 --> 01:37:37,250
yet you sit back there on your fat hulks
2164
01:37:37,270 --> 01:37:39,240
and tell me you'll kill
it if you can't use it.
2165
01:37:39,260 --> 01:37:40,650
Well, go ahead and try!
2166
01:37:40,670 --> 01:37:42,920
You couldn't do it in a
million years with all your
2167
01:37:42,940 --> 01:37:45,800
radio stations and all your
power because it's bigger than
2168
01:37:45,820 --> 01:37:48,140
whether I'm a fake, it's
bigger than your ambitions
2169
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:49,310
and bigger than all the bracelets
2170
01:37:49,330 --> 01:37:50,421
and fur coats in the world.
2171
01:37:50,441 --> 01:37:51,574
You bet it is, John!
2172
01:37:51,594 --> 01:37:52,408
And that's exactly what I'm going
2173
01:37:52,428 --> 01:37:54,180
down there to tell those people.
2174
01:37:57,917 --> 01:37:59,550
I'm gonna, you ungrateful rat.
2175
01:37:59,570 --> 01:38:00,770
My uncle's been too good to...
2176
01:38:03,340 --> 01:38:04,977
He's getting away.
2177
01:38:04,997 --> 01:38:06,197
John!
2178
01:38:06,217 --> 01:38:08,486
Get me the Bulletin.
2179
01:38:08,506 --> 01:38:09,871
John.
2180
01:38:09,891 --> 01:38:12,523
I told you, D.B., you're
playing with dynamite.
2181
01:38:14,433 --> 01:38:16,692
Don't let that girl get away.
2182
01:38:16,712 --> 01:38:18,930
Before he gets through
tonight, he'll ruin us all.
2183
01:38:18,950 --> 01:38:20,400
I'll stop him, I'll stop him cold.
2184
01:38:20,420 --> 01:38:21,679
Don't worry, I've been ready for this.
2185
01:38:21,699 --> 01:38:22,823
John.
2186
01:38:22,843 --> 01:38:24,517
Oh John, please listen to me.
2187
01:38:24,537 --> 01:38:26,660
Please I can explain everything John.
2188
01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:27,727
I didn't know what they were going to do.
2189
01:38:27,747 --> 01:38:30,033
Let me go with you John.
2190
01:38:30,053 --> 01:38:31,110
John, please.
2191
01:38:31,130 --> 01:38:32,625
Go ahead, driver, ball park.
2192
01:38:32,645 --> 01:38:34,373
Let me explain it to you John.
2193
01:38:34,393 --> 01:38:36,143
Please let me go with you.
2194
01:38:36,163 --> 01:38:37,246
Please, John.
2195
01:38:38,293 --> 01:38:40,140
Mr. Norton wants to see you.
2196
01:38:40,160 --> 01:38:42,070
Listen to me, Mayor I
want you to do as I say.
2197
01:38:42,090 --> 01:38:43,280
I want them both arrested.
2198
01:38:43,300 --> 01:38:44,433
You tell the police
department to pick up Connell.
2199
01:38:44,453 --> 01:38:45,592
I've got the girl here.
2200
01:38:45,612 --> 01:38:46,425
I've got the Bulletin.
2201
01:38:46,445 --> 01:38:47,291
I don't care what you charge them with.
2202
01:38:47,311 --> 01:38:48,353
If you're worried let
them go in the morning,
2203
01:38:48,373 --> 01:38:50,555
but keep them in jail overnight.
2204
01:38:50,575 --> 01:38:51,421
Hello, Bulletin?
2205
01:38:51,441 --> 01:38:52,796

One moment, John.
2229
01:40:42,528 --> 01:40:45,111
We'll begin with a soft prayer.
2230
01:40:48,098 --> 01:40:49,265
Quiet, please.
2231
01:40:50,711 --> 01:40:53,577
Ladies and gentlemen, let's have a moment
2232
01:40:53,597 --> 01:40:56,810
of silent prayer for the John Does
2233
01:40:56,830 --> 01:41:01,830
all over the world, many of
whom are homeless and hungry.
2234
01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:05,330
Rise, please.
2235
01:41:06,985 --> 01:41:08,235
Everybody rise.
2236
01:41:59,843 --> 01:42:00,674
News boys, hundreds
2237
01:42:00,694 --> 01:42:02,387
of yelling news boys are swarming
2238
01:42:02,407 --> 01:42:03,784
into the crowd like locusts.
2239
01:42:03,804 --> 01:42:05,137
They're yelling John Doe's a fake.
2240
01:42:05,157 --> 01:42:06,157
Fake?
2241
01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:16,283
John Doe's a fake!
2242
01:42:18,579 --> 01:42:21,231
Federal investigation
urged by Chamber of Commerce.
2243
01:42:21,251 --> 01:42:22,767
How could he be a fake?
2244
01:42:22,787 --> 01:42:24,567
It must be some kind of a gag.
2245
01:42:24,587 --> 01:42:26,587
- A what?
- A gag, a gag.
2246
01:42:37,877 --> 01:42:41,066
Come on, come on step on it.
2247
01:42:41,086 --> 01:42:42,361
Step on it, step on it.
2248
01:42:42,381 --> 01:42:44,092
You all know you're places
now so let's get going.
2249
01:42:44,112 --> 01:42:45,144
Wait for the signal.
2250
01:42:45,164 --> 01:42:46,882
Hey mister will you autograph my balloon?
2251
01:42:46,902 --> 01:42:48,169
Sure.
2252
01:42:57,236 --> 01:43:00,692
Ladies and gentlemen, this is exactly what
2253
01:43:00,712 --> 01:43:04,295
I came down here to tell you about tonight.
2254
01:43:05,176 --> 01:43:07,588
Please, if you all would just
be quiet for a few minutes,
2255
01:43:07,608 --> 01:43:10,775
I can explain this whole thing to you.
2256
01:43:11,635 --> 01:43:13,617
As you all know, this paper is published
2257
01:43:13,637 --> 01:43:16,508
by a man by the name of D.B. Norton.
2258
01:43:16,528 --> 01:43:18,518
Get back, you.
2259
01:43:18,538 --> 01:43:20,788
Everybody, wait a minute.
2260
01:43:21,818 --> 01:43:26,796
Wait a minute ladies and
gentlemen, my name is D.B. Norton.
2261
01:43:26,816 --> 01:43:28,688
You all know me.
2262
01:43:28,708 --> 01:43:31,210
I accuse this man of being a faker.
2263
01:43:31,230 --> 01:43:32,429
We've been taken for a lot of suckers
2264
01:43:32,449 --> 01:43:34,590
and I'm the biggest of the lot.
2265
01:43:34,610 --> 01:43:36,380
I spent a fortune backing this man
2266
01:43:36,400 --> 01:43:38,360
in what I believed to be a sincere
2267
01:43:38,380 --> 01:43:40,624
and worthy cause just as you all did
2268
01:43:40,644 --> 01:43:43,190
and now I find out it's
nothing but a cheap racket,
2269
01:43:43,210 --> 01:43:45,230
cooked up by him and two of my employees
2270
01:43:45,250 --> 01:43:47,400
for the sole purpose of collecting dues
2271
01:43:47,420 --> 01:43:49,152
from John Does all over the country.
2272
01:43:49,172 --> 01:43:50,440
- That's a lie!
- It's not a lie.
2273
01:43:50,460 --> 01:43:52,690
Nickel and dimes to stuff
into their own pockets.
2274
01:43:52,710 --> 01:43:54,260
You can read all about it
in the newspapers there.
2275
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:55,740
That's a lie, listen...
2276
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:57,340
- Let go of me.
- Don't believe...
2277
01:43:57,360 --> 01:43:59,090
This man had no intention of jumping off
2278
01:43:59,110 --> 01:44:00,220
the the top of a building.
2279
01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:01,340
He was paid to say so.
2280
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:02,540
Do you deny that?
2281
01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:04,120
That's got nothing to do with it.
2282
01:44:04,140 --> 01:44:05,500
Were you paid or weren't you?
2283
01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:06,530
Yes, I was paid, but...
2284
01:44:06,550 --> 01:44:08,080
And what about the suicide note.
2285
01:44:08,100 --> 01:44:09,308
You didn't write that either.
2286
01:44:09,328 --> 01:44:10,142
What difference does that make?
2287
01:44:10,162 --> 01:44:11,304
Did you write it or didn't you?
2288
01:44:11,324 --> 01:44:12,588
No, I didn't I didn't write it.
2289
01:44:12,608 --> 01:44:13,931
You bet your life you didn't.
2290
01:44:13,951 --> 01:44:15,774
You look in your papers
ladies and gentlemen
2291
01:44:15,794 --> 01:44:17,155
and find you'll find Miss Mitchell's
2292
01:44:17,175 --> 01:44:19,217
signed confession that she
was the one who wrote it.
2293
01:44:19,237 --> 01:44:21,287
Listen folks it's a fact that
I didn't write the letter...
2294
01:44:21,307 --> 01:44:22,121
Now you see, he admits it.
2295
01:44:22,141 --> 01:44:24,300
You're a fake, John Doe.
2296
01:44:24,320 --> 01:44:27,097
And for what you have done to
all these people good people
2297
01:44:27,117 --> 01:44:29,048
they ought to run you out of the country.
2298
01:44:29,068 --> 01:44:30,901
And I hope they do it.
2299
01:44:39,781 --> 01:44:41,927
Speak up, John, we believe you.
2300
01:44:41,947 --> 01:44:43,959
Please listen, folks.
2301
01:44:43,979 --> 01:44:46,560
Now that he's through
shooting off his face,
2302
01:44:46,580 --> 01:44:49,099
I got couple of things to tell you about.
2303
01:44:49,119 --> 01:44:50,580
Come on, the rest of
you get in here and riot.
2304
01:44:50,600 --> 01:44:51,780
Break this crowd up, come on.
2305
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:53,780
I'm sorry folks, but we
can't hear him anymore.
2306
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:56,560
Something's gone wrong
with the loudspeakers.
2307
01:44:56,580 --> 01:44:57,700
Doe's a fake.
2308
01:44:57,720 --> 01:44:58,720
Boo!
2309
01:44:59,540 --> 01:45:00,766
Please, they can't hear me.
2310
01:45:00,786 --> 01:45:02,994
Boo!
2311
01:45:03,014 --> 01:45:04,930
This thing's not working.
2312
01:45:04,950 --> 01:45:06,000
Ladies and gentlemen.
2313
01:45:24,290 --> 01:45:26,490
This thing's bigger
than whether I'm a fake.
2314
01:45:28,630 --> 01:45:31,243
Look Bert, you believe me, don't ya?
2315
01:45:32,106 --> 01:45:34,250
Sure, I believe you.
2316
01:45:34,270 --> 01:45:38,620
Walking my legs off picking up
5,000 signatures for a phony.
2317
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:40,060
There you are, Mr. Doe.
2318
01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:43,480
5,000 names asking you
not to jump off any roof.
2319
01:45:43,500 --> 01:45:44,744
Makes no difference, Bert.
2320
01:45:44,764 --> 01:45:45,920
The idea's still good.
2321
01:45:45,940 --> 01:45:47,194
We don't have to give up our club.
2322
01:45:47,214 --> 01:45:49,952
Yeah, well you can have it.
2323
01:45:51,467 --> 01:45:52,560
They're starting to throw things.
2324
01:45:52,580 --> 01:45:53,860
Somebody's going to get hurt.
2325
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:56,207
I'm afraid it will be John Doe.
2326
01:45:56,227 --> 01:45:57,689
Listen to that mob.
2327
01:46:00,221 --> 01:46:01,961
I've got to go to him.
2328
01:46:01,981 --> 01:46:03,456
Sorry, lady, I can't let you out.
2329
01:46:03,476 --> 01:46:05,151
Let me go.
2330
01:46:05,171 --> 01:46:07,098
Oh please, please let me go.
2331
01:46:07,118 --> 01:46:08,050
They're crucifying him.
2332
01:46:08,070 --> 01:46:08,905
I can help him.
2333
01:46:08,925 --> 01:46:10,189
Sorry sister, we got orders to hold you.
2334
01:46:10,209 --> 01:46:11,023
Orders from who?
2335
01:46:11,043 --> 01:46:12,456
Can't you see it's a frame up?
2336
01:46:12,476 --> 01:46:13,290
Ann darling.
2337
01:46:13,310 --> 01:46:15,300
Oh Mother, they won't let me go.
2338
01:46:15,320 --> 01:46:17,670
They won't let me go.
2339
01:46:18,674 --> 01:46:20,006
Listen, folks.
2340
01:46:21,072 --> 01:46:23,123
You gotta...
Back to the jungle you hobo.
2341
01:46:23,143 --> 01:46:25,624
Just another racket.
2342
01:46:25,644 --> 01:46:26,971
Stick to your clubs.
2343
01:46:26,991 --> 01:46:30,051
We've been fed baloney so
long we're getting used to it.
2344
01:46:38,677 --> 01:46:40,760
The idea is still good.
2345
01:46:42,810 --> 01:46:44,310
Believe me, folks.
2346
01:46:46,962 --> 01:46:50,881
Listen John Does were
the hope of the world.
2347
01:47:26,321 --> 01:47:27,135
They just finally managed
2348
01:47:27,155 --> 01:47:28,326
to get him out of the park.
2349
01:47:28,346 --> 01:47:30,495
And if that boy isn't
hurt it'll be a miracle.
2350
01:47:30,515 --> 01:47:32,033
Ladies and gentlemen this certainly looks
2351
01:47:32,053 --> 01:47:35,443
like the end of the John Doe movement.
2352
01:47:35,463 --> 01:47:40,296
Well, boys, chalk up another
one to the Pontius Pilates.
2353
01:47:46,592 --> 01:47:49,220
I should have been there.
2354
01:47:49,240 --> 01:47:50,440
I could have helped him.
2355
01:47:52,703 --> 01:47:54,383
He was so all alone.
2356
01:47:58,104 --> 01:47:58,918
A lot of us are going to be mighty
2357
01:47:58,938 --> 01:48:00,860
ashamed of ourselves after tonight.
2358
01:48:01,954 --> 01:48:04,504
We certainly didn't give
that man much of a chance.
2359
01:48:14,230 --> 01:48:16,193
Want sore coffee, Long John?
2360
01:48:17,070 --> 01:48:18,707
No thanks, Colonel.
2361
01:48:38,127 --> 01:48:39,419
- Fake.
- Racketeer.
2362
01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:40,590
- Liar.
- Cheat.
2363
01:48:40,610 --> 01:48:43,020
- Impostor.
- Why don't you jump?
2364
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:46,537
Christmas Eve midnight.
2365
01:48:46,557 --> 01:48:48,140
Goodbye, Mr. Doe.
2366
01:48:48,977 --> 01:48:51,490
You're a wonderful man.
2367
01:48:51,510 --> 01:48:53,843
And God bless you, my boy.
2368
01:48:54,745 --> 01:48:57,162
Now get in there and pitch.
2369
01:49:00,082 --> 01:49:02,060
You're a fake John Doe and I can prove it.
2370
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:04,420
You're the big hero that's meant to jump
2371
01:49:04,440 --> 01:49:07,360
off tall buildings and
things, do you remember?
2372
01:49:07,380 --> 01:49:08,550
What do you suppose your precious
2373
01:49:08,570 --> 01:49:10,520
John Does will say when they find out
2374
01:49:10,540 --> 01:49:12,220
that you never had any
intention of doing it?
2375
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:13,950
That you were paid to say so?
2376
01:49:13,970 --> 01:49:17,114
Christmas Eve, at midnight.
2377
01:49:17,134 --> 01:49:22,134
♪ Silent night, holy night ♪
2378
01:49:24,903 --> 01:49:29,903

Merry Christmas.
2382
01:49:47,241 --> 01:49:52,241

2383
01:49:54,912 --> 01:49:58,662

Merry Christmas.
2385
01:50:10,686 --> 01:50:13,360
Who, John Doe?
2386
01:50:13,380 --> 01:50:15,790
Is that screwball still around?
2387
01:50:15,810 --> 01:50:17,780
That dame's been calling all day.
2388
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:19,310
Sure, sure, I know.
2389
01:50:19,330 --> 01:50:21,670
Yeah, at midnight, huh?
2390
01:50:21,690 --> 01:50:25,763
Okay, lady, we'll have the
place surrounded with nets.
2391
01:50:25,783 --> 01:50:27,743
They're laughing at me.
2392
01:50:33,680 --> 01:50:34,800
You're a sick girl, Ann.
2393
01:50:34,820 --> 01:50:36,020
You better take it easy.
2394
01:50:38,730 --> 01:50:40,143
Who are you calling now?
2395
01:50:41,310 --> 01:50:44,163
You called that number, not 10 minutes ago.
2396
01:50:45,257 --> 01:50:46,733
Hello. Mr. Connell.
2397
01:50:46,753 --> 01:50:47,567
Have you seen him yet?
2398
01:50:47,587 --> 01:50:49,500
Now listen, Ann, he can't possibly
2399
01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:51,460
get in without our seeing him.
2400
01:50:51,480 --> 01:50:52,294
I'm watching the side door
2401
01:50:52,314 --> 01:50:54,563
and the Colonel's out
front so stop worrying.
2402
01:50:55,724 --> 01:50:57,057
Oh, thank you.
2403
01:51:04,546 --> 01:51:07,379
- Why Ann.
- Ann, don't be foolish.
2404
01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:13,397
If this isn't the craziest, the battiest,
2405
01:51:13,417 --> 01:51:15,570
the looniest wild goose
chase I ever heard of.
2406
01:51:15,590 --> 01:51:16,404
Oh shut up, Bert.
2407
01:51:16,424 --> 01:51:17,480
Sourpuss is right.
2408
01:51:17,500 --> 01:51:19,410
Yeah well if he is, I'm a banana split.
2409
01:51:19,430 --> 01:51:21,470
That man's gonna be on that roof.
2410
01:51:21,490 --> 01:51:23,125
Don't ask me how I know I just know
2411
01:51:23,145 --> 01:51:24,344
and you know it as well as you do.
2412
01:51:24,364 --> 01:51:26,850
Sure, sure I'd like to
believe in fairy tales,
2413
01:51:26,870 --> 01:51:28,850
but a guy that's a fake isn't
gonna jump off any roof.
2414
01:51:28,870 --> 01:51:30,110
I don't think he was a fake.
2415
01:51:30,130 --> 01:51:31,530
Not with that face.
2416
01:51:31,550 --> 01:51:33,470
At any rate what he
stood for wasn't a fake.
2417
01:51:33,490 --> 01:51:35,063
Okay, honey, okay.
2418
01:51:53,820 --> 01:51:56,227
Elevators ain't runnin'.
2419
01:51:56,247 --> 01:51:57,061
Colonel.
2420
01:51:57,081 --> 01:51:58,782
You should've got out of bed Miss.
2421
01:51:58,802 --> 01:51:59,879
Has he been here?
2422
01:51:59,899 --> 01:52:01,139
- No.
- Have you seen him?
2423
01:52:01,159 --> 01:52:02,290
Haven't seen him for a week.
2424
01:52:02,310 --> 01:52:03,124
Where's Connell?
2425
01:52:03,144 --> 01:52:04,250
He's watching the other door.
2426
01:52:04,270 --> 01:52:06,463
Oh, you're swell.
2427
01:52:07,787 --> 01:52:08,787
Oh.
2428
01:52:11,910 --> 01:52:13,210
No sense in going up there.
2429
01:52:13,230 --> 01:52:14,190
I've been here for hours.
2430
01:52:14,210 --> 01:52:15,024
He ain't here.
2431
01:52:15,044 --> 01:52:16,320
Let me go, will ya?
2432
01:52:20,510 --> 01:52:23,293
Now that's crazy, it's 14 floors.
2433
01:53:06,464 --> 01:53:08,190
It's as far as the elevator goes.
2434
01:53:08,210 --> 01:53:09,863
We gotta walk up to the tower.
2435
01:54:00,703 --> 01:54:02,790
That tramp is probably
full of Christmas cheer
2436
01:54:02,810 --> 01:54:04,290
and asleep in some flophouse.
2437
01:54:04,310 --> 01:54:06,660
Let's go, I've got to decorate my tree.
2438
01:54:18,430 --> 01:54:20,113
Well, I give up.
2439
01:54:20,980 --> 01:54:23,250
I don't what gave us the idea
2440
01:54:23,270 --> 01:54:24,720
he'd attempt anything like this.
2441
01:54:24,740 --> 01:54:26,000
I guess you're right.
2442
01:54:26,020 --> 01:54:28,713
I'm afraid the joke's on us, let's go.
2443
01:54:28,733 --> 01:54:31,400
I hope nobody finds out we've been here.
2444
01:56:14,340 --> 01:56:16,240
I wouldn't do that if I were you John.
2445
01:56:28,450 --> 01:56:29,500
It'll do you no good.
2446
01:56:30,587 --> 01:56:34,110
The Mayor has policemen
downstairs with instructions
2447
01:56:34,130 --> 01:56:36,540
to remove all marks of identification
2448
01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:37,723
you have on your person.
2449
01:56:39,430 --> 01:56:41,384
You'll be buried in Potter's Field
2450
01:56:41,404 --> 01:56:44,487
and you'll have accomplished nothing.
2451
01:56:53,932 --> 01:56:56,099
I've taken care of that.
2452
01:56:57,120 --> 01:57:00,103
I've already mailed a copy of
this letter to Mr. Connell.
2453
01:57:03,180 --> 01:57:05,100
John, why don't you
forget this foolishness?
2454
01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:06,760
Stop right where you are, Mr. Norton,
2455
01:57:06,780 --> 01:57:08,880
if you don't want to go overboard with me.
2456
01:57:13,730 --> 01:57:17,340
I'm glad you gentlemen are here.
2457
01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:20,323
You killed the John Doe movement all right,
2458
01:57:21,617 --> 01:57:24,030
but you're gonna see
it born all over again.
2459
01:57:31,881 --> 01:57:35,313
Now take a good look, Mr. Norton.
2460
01:57:35,333 --> 01:57:36,333
John!
2461
01:57:37,143 --> 01:57:38,143
John.
2462
01:57:38,890 --> 01:57:41,044
Oh John, don't do it.
2463
01:57:41,064 --> 01:57:43,830
I love you, I love you darling.
2464
01:57:43,850 --> 01:57:44,850
Oh please.
2465
01:57:45,960 --> 01:57:47,530
Please don't give up.
2466
01:57:47,550 --> 01:57:49,350
We'll start all over again.
2467
01:57:49,370 --> 01:57:51,550
Just you and I, it isn't too late.
2468
01:57:51,570 --> 01:57:53,653
The John Doe movement isn't dead yet.
2469
01:57:55,111 --> 01:57:57,500
You see John it isn't dead
or they wouldn't be here.
2470
01:57:57,520 --> 01:57:58,927
It's alive in them.
2471
01:57:58,947 --> 01:58:01,423
They kept it alive by being afraid of it.
2472
01:58:01,443 --> 01:58:03,390
That's why they came up here.
2473
01:58:03,410 --> 01:58:04,583
Oh, darling.
2474
01:58:05,620 --> 01:58:06,700
Sure it should have been killed.
2475
01:58:06,720 --> 01:58:08,029
It was dishonest.
2476
01:58:08,049 --> 01:58:10,040
But we can start clean now.
2477
01:58:10,060 --> 01:58:11,410
Just you and I.
2478
01:58:11,430 --> 01:58:13,610
It'll grow, John, and it'll grow big
2479
01:58:13,630 --> 01:58:15,553
because it'll be honest this time.
2480
01:58:17,050 --> 01:58:21,990
Oh John, if it's worth dying
for, it's worth living for.
2481
01:58:22,010 --> 01:58:23,133
Oh please, John.
2482
01:58:24,600 --> 01:58:25,600
Oh.
2483
01:58:27,030 --> 01:58:28,810
Oh please.
2484
01:58:28,830 --> 01:58:31,093
Please God, help me.
2485
01:58:34,003 --> 01:58:35,396
John.
2486
01:58:35,416 --> 01:58:37,030
John, look at me.
2487
01:58:37,050 --> 01:58:39,395
You want to be honest, don't you?
2488
01:58:39,415 --> 01:58:42,560
Well you don't have to die to
keep the John Doe idea alive.
2489
01:58:42,580 --> 01:58:44,780
Someone already died for that once.
2490
01:58:44,800 --> 01:58:46,448
The first John Doe.
2491
01:58:46,468 --> 01:58:49,870
And he's kept that idea
alive for nearly 2,000 years.
2492
01:58:49,890 --> 01:58:52,550
It was he who kept it alive
in them and he'll go on
2493
01:58:52,570 --> 01:58:54,624
keeping it alive forever and always.
2494
01:58:54,644 --> 01:58:56,810
For every John Doe movement these men kill
2495
01:58:56,830 --> 01:58:58,890
a new one will be born.
2496
01:58:58,910 --> 01:59:01,240
That's why those bells are ringing John.
2497
01:59:01,260 --> 01:59:02,610
They're calling to us.
2498
01:59:02,630 --> 01:59:04,450
Not to give up, but to keep on fighting,
2499
01:59:04,470 --> 01:59:05,907
to keep on pitching.
2500
01:59:05,927 --> 01:59:08,330
Oh don't you see, darling?
2501
01:59:08,350 --> 01:59:10,600
This is no time to give up.
2502
01:59:10,620 --> 01:59:12,950
You and I John, we...
2503
01:59:14,020 --> 01:59:15,807
Oh no.
2504
01:59:15,827 --> 01:59:19,300
No, John, if you die, I want to die, too.
2505
01:59:19,320 --> 01:59:20,640
Oh.
2506
01:59:20,660 --> 01:59:22,285
Oh, I love you.
2507
01:59:22,305 --> 01:59:23,305
Oh John.
2508
01:59:36,560 --> 01:59:39,550
Mr. Doe, you don't have to...
2509
01:59:40,670 --> 01:59:42,660
We're with you, Mr. Doe.
2510
01:59:42,680 --> 01:59:45,110
We just lost our heads
and acted like a mob.
2511
01:59:45,130 --> 01:59:48,692
What Bert's trying to say
is that we need you Mr. Doe.
2512
01:59:48,712 --> 01:59:49,526
There were a lot of us that
2513
01:59:49,546 --> 01:59:51,660
didn't believe what that man said.
2514
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:52,730
We were going to start up our
2515
01:59:52,750 --> 01:59:54,993
John Doe Club again,
whether we saw you or not.
2516
01:59:55,013 --> 01:59:56,460
Weren't we, Bert?
2517
01:59:56,480 --> 01:59:57,294
And there were a lot of others
2518
01:59:57,314 --> 01:59:58,980
that were gonna do the same thing.
2519
01:59:59,000 --> 02:00:00,203
Well, Mr. Sourpuss even got
2520
02:00:00,223 --> 02:00:01,790
a letter from his cousin in Toledo...
2521
02:00:01,810 --> 02:00:03,370
I got it right here, Mr. Doe.
2522
02:00:03,390 --> 02:00:06,265
Only, it'd be a lot easier with you.
2523
02:00:06,285 --> 02:00:07,285
Please.
2524
02:00:09,496 --> 02:00:11,913
Please come with us, Mr. Doe.
2525
02:00:37,154 --> 02:00:38,987
- Long John.
- Mr. Doe.
2526
02:00:40,136 --> 02:00:41,427
Here we'll help you with her.
2527
02:00:41,447 --> 02:00:42,261
She'll be all right.
2528
02:00:42,281 --> 02:00:45,308
We'll take her down to the car.
2529
02:00:45,328 --> 02:00:47,041
We gotta car right back down there.
2530
02:00:47,061 --> 02:00:52,032
There you are, Norton, the
people, try and lick that.
