1
00:01:28,534 --> 00:01:29,745
Good morning, Mr Manley.
2
00:01:29,845 --> 00:01:32,864
Good morning, Miss Gregg.
Did mother have a good night?
3
00:01:33,144 --> 00:01:35,492
Very good sir. She slept right through.
─ Alright.
4
00:01:35,784 --> 00:01:37,370
Oh, I have a surprise for her.
5
00:01:37,744 --> 00:01:40,552
I stopped in at Cunninghams and
picked out a mink stole for her.
6
00:01:41,177 --> 00:01:43,729
So this afternoon, before
you go to the matinee.
7
00:01:44,116 --> 00:01:46,562
Why don't you drop by and pick it up?
─ I'll be glad to, Mr Manley.
8
00:01:46,673 --> 00:01:50,549
And while you're about it I think it
might be nice to have lunch at Le Toro.
9
00:01:50,898 --> 00:01:53,595
I'll have Miss Turner make a
reservation for one o'clock.
10
00:01:55,050 --> 00:01:58,039
Miss Turner made a reservation
for us last time, Mr Manley, but ..
11
00:01:58,202 --> 00:02:00,998
It will be perfectly alright. The
manager explained that it was a mistake.
12
00:02:01,213 --> 00:02:02,343
It won't happen again.
13
00:02:05,435 --> 00:02:06,050
Yes?
14
00:02:06,698 --> 00:02:07,832
Oh. Yes, Miss Turner?
15
00:02:09,541 --> 00:02:13,189
No I am not interested in speaking to
Mr Walsh. Certainly not from my home.
16
00:02:13,861 --> 00:02:16,472
If he calls again, tell him
you gave me the message.
17
00:02:16,733 --> 00:02:18,594
Oh and Miss Turner,
while you're on the line.
18
00:02:19,068 --> 00:02:22,382
Would you make a reservation at Le Toro
for my mother and Miss Gregg?
19
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:25,020
Yes, at one o'clock. And Miss Turner.
20
00:02:25,435 --> 00:02:27,147
Speak to Alfredo personally, won't you.
21
00:02:28,094 --> 00:02:30,352
Yes. I'll be at the office
in about a half hour.
22
00:02:30,614 --> 00:02:31,451
Thank you.
23
00:02:34,340 --> 00:02:36,322
After the .. matinee.
24
00:02:37,504 --> 00:02:40,627
I'll meet both of you at
Regency Park for tea at 5:30.
25
00:02:40,859 --> 00:02:43,338
Then we can have an early dinner
before I have to go to the studio.
26
00:02:43,438 --> 00:02:46,262
We're looking forward to seeing
you on the Alan J Frederick show.
27
00:02:46,618 --> 00:02:49,804
As a matter of fact, Miss Gregg,
I'm looking forward to it too.
28
00:03:10,631 --> 00:03:11,732
Good morning, mother.
29
00:03:12,133 --> 00:03:13,005
Good morning.
30
00:03:17,463 --> 00:03:19,408
Miss Gregg told me you had a good night.
31
00:03:20,609 --> 00:03:22,291
Well, in most prisons I understand ..
32
00:03:22,391 --> 00:03:25,264
The inmates are spared the guards
morning report to the warder.
33
00:03:25,583 --> 00:03:27,712
Now you shouldn't speak
that way about Miss Gregg.
34
00:03:28,368 --> 00:03:30,642
She is going to take you to
Le Toro for lunch this afternoon.
35
00:03:30,931 --> 00:03:32,671
I don't want to go to La Toro for lunch.
36
00:03:33,079 --> 00:03:33,727
Why?
37
00:03:34,254 --> 00:03:36,964
The last time I was there, even though
you said we had a reservation.
38
00:03:37,942 --> 00:03:39,475
They kept us waiting almost an hour.
39
00:03:39,575 --> 00:03:41,402
I know, but I told you
that was a mistake.
40
00:03:41,609 --> 00:03:43,880
The management called and told ..
─ It was no mistake.
41
00:03:44,455 --> 00:03:45,956
They made it perfectly plain.
42
00:03:46,730 --> 00:03:47,889
That I was not welcome.
43
00:03:48,829 --> 00:03:51,629
Well darling, will you try it once
more? I'm sure you will like it.
44
00:03:53,128 --> 00:03:56,036
What make you so certain
what I'll like or dislike?
45
00:03:57,688 --> 00:03:58,470
Mother.
46
00:03:58,825 --> 00:04:02,037
Every morning, I try to plan
a nice pleasant day for you.
47
00:04:02,202 --> 00:04:03,817
And every morning, you find objections.
48
00:04:03,917 --> 00:04:06,167
I don't want my days planned for me.
49
00:04:07,718 --> 00:04:09,739
I'm perfectly content to stay
here in the apartment.
50
00:04:09,839 --> 00:04:13,286
But it's not good for you. You should
get out and see people and do things.
51
00:04:15,025 --> 00:04:17,706
The food at La Toro is marvelous and ..
52
00:04:18,422 --> 00:04:20,445
They tell me they make
the best Martini in town.
53
00:04:20,731 --> 00:04:23,293
You see .. I prefer a Bloody Mary.
54
00:04:24,748 --> 00:04:27,788
Well, I'll tell Miss Gregg
that you might like one.
55
00:04:31,476 --> 00:04:34,182
I might even tell her
you might have two.
56
00:04:36,636 --> 00:04:38,140
Good .. bye-bye.
57
00:04:40,443 --> 00:04:42,541
I'll see you at Regency Park at 5:30.
58
00:04:58,239 --> 00:05:00,313
Good morning, Mr Manley.
─ Good morning, Miss Bingham.
59
00:05:03,065 --> 00:05:05,021
Good morning, Mr Manley.
─ Morning, Miss Turner.
60
00:05:05,121 --> 00:05:07,572
Oh, did you take care of those
reservations for my mother?
61
00:05:07,785 --> 00:05:10,402
Yes, sir. Mr Walsh called again.
He said that ..
62
00:05:10,953 --> 00:05:13,266
Miss Turner .. please get
me the distributor's figures.
63
00:05:13,366 --> 00:05:15,185
I must see them before
the staff conference.
64
00:05:15,285 --> 00:05:16,059
Yes, sir.
65
00:05:24,028 --> 00:05:25,530
Good morning, Hal.
─ Hello, Homer.
66
00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:30,570
When I got in a little while ago,
I found this message from Harry Walsh.
67
00:05:32,604 --> 00:05:35,091
He missed out on a large block
of stock in a telephone company.
68
00:05:35,451 --> 00:05:39,745
Look Hal, as the so-called legal brains
of this outfit, I'd like to point out ..
69
00:05:39,942 --> 00:05:42,277
Homer, the trouble with
you is that you're a worrier.
70
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:46,508
Now if you want to get to the top of the
heap .. you'll have to learn to relax.
71
00:05:46,717 --> 00:05:48,655
No, no. I prefer being
second in command.
72
00:05:49,337 --> 00:05:51,068
And I'm good at it
because I am a worrier.
73
00:05:51,571 --> 00:05:53,972
Right now, I'm worried about the
way you're handling Harry Walsh.
74
00:05:56,107 --> 00:05:57,655
Harry Walsh has made plenty on us.
75
00:05:57,856 --> 00:05:59,701
In the first two years
we've been in business.
76
00:05:59,801 --> 00:06:01,217
As far as I'm concerned, that ..
77
00:06:01,404 --> 00:06:03,071
The distributor's figures, Mr Manley.
78
00:06:03,171 --> 00:06:04,625
Thank you Miss Turner.
79
00:06:10,973 --> 00:06:13,394
A total of .. 701,000.
80
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,320
For the first five days of
the week, that's not bad.
81
00:06:16,963 --> 00:06:17,950
Not good, either.
82
00:06:18,274 --> 00:06:21,137
We're selling more news-stand copies
than any other magazine in America.
83
00:06:21,401 --> 00:06:23,512
But we're down a
little from our last issue.
84
00:06:24,044 --> 00:06:25,322
Not much, true. But ..
85
00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:27,819
Down is down. I don't like it.
86
00:06:28,032 --> 00:06:30,297
We're still five million
copies ahead of zero.
87
00:06:30,652 --> 00:06:33,093
Which is where we were when
we set up shop two years ago.
88
00:06:33,579 --> 00:06:35,754
When we set up shop,
we were alone in the field.
89
00:06:35,962 --> 00:06:37,406
Now, we've got a dozen imitators.
90
00:06:37,675 --> 00:06:39,606
The public is beginning
to think we're all alike.
91
00:06:39,852 --> 00:06:40,524
Homer.
92
00:06:40,836 --> 00:06:43,759
The public has about as much
brains as a halibut steak.
93
00:06:44,173 --> 00:06:46,879
And don't worry. No imitator
ever gets good enough.
94
00:06:48,051 --> 00:06:51,125
If we can get a really sensational
copy on the stands next month, the ..
95
00:06:51,476 --> 00:06:53,287
The imitators will disappear like ..
96
00:06:54,062 --> 00:06:55,249
Cold beer at a picnic.
97
00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:56,376
If.
98
00:06:57,415 --> 00:06:58,931
Shall we go to the staff meeting?
99
00:07:00,147 --> 00:07:02,272
And Homer, don't scare at the word "if".
100
00:07:02,658 --> 00:07:03,988
Look what it did for Kipling.
101
00:07:09,707 --> 00:07:11,119
Morning.
─ Good morning.
102
00:07:13,464 --> 00:07:16,940
Now let's see what we intend
to use in our next issue. Elsie?
103
00:07:17,969 --> 00:07:19,734
Rosemary Dalton, the Broadway star.
104
00:07:20,635 --> 00:07:21,867
She's retired, isn't she?
105
00:07:22,088 --> 00:07:24,640
Well, she hasn't been
in a play for a long time.
106
00:07:25,088 --> 00:07:26,459
Uhuh. What have we on her?
107
00:07:27,671 --> 00:07:31,601
Narcotics. She was an addict for years.
Had herself committed in 1933.
108
00:07:32,391 --> 00:07:34,443
Here is a Photostat of the
application she signed.
109
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,914
She cured herself didn't she.
110
00:07:38,325 --> 00:07:40,869
Well, she hasn't taken
anything for a long time.
111
00:07:41,550 --> 00:07:43,182
You never know about these people.
112
00:07:43,583 --> 00:07:44,594
I see. Byron?
113
00:07:45,032 --> 00:07:46,156
Pop Beresford.
114
00:07:46,627 --> 00:07:47,499
What you got?
115
00:07:47,693 --> 00:07:50,261
Clean living old Pop himself.
─ What about him?
116
00:07:51,212 --> 00:07:53,599
During the coach's convention
in Chicago last year.
117
00:07:54,023 --> 00:07:55,901
He was registered in
the convention hotel.
118
00:07:56,641 --> 00:07:58,629
But do you know where he
was catching his shut-eye?
119
00:07:58,914 --> 00:08:00,012
A love nest?
120
00:08:00,407 --> 00:08:01,423
On the south side.
121
00:08:02,017 --> 00:08:03,364
With a little Mexican tomato.
122
00:08:03,711 --> 00:08:05,474
Slings hash in a chili
joint in The Loop.
123
00:08:06,384 --> 00:08:07,485
We got some pictures.
124
00:08:12,559 --> 00:08:14,633
You got pictures, but they
won't go through the mails.
125
00:08:14,998 --> 00:08:15,699
Willis.
126
00:08:15,922 --> 00:08:17,593
I'm rather proud of this one, Chief.
127
00:08:17,983 --> 00:08:20,637
I dug down into the wilds
of the bible belt to get it.
128
00:08:21,275 --> 00:08:24,695
It concerns no-one else
but H Brockford Brown.
129
00:08:25,086 --> 00:08:26,704
Holy Joe?
─ The same.
130
00:08:27,629 --> 00:08:28,631
What about him?
131
00:08:28,731 --> 00:08:32,581
This was during the war, before he got
out of the Army to became an evangelist.
132
00:08:33,106 --> 00:08:34,555
He was up on a rape charge.
133
00:08:35,111 --> 00:08:37,274
A French girl is still
trying to prove that ..
134
00:08:37,712 --> 00:08:39,576
Holy Joe is the father of her child.
135
00:08:39,826 --> 00:08:42,136
How about those revival
meetings he conducts?
136
00:08:42,789 --> 00:08:45,944
You know, with the women writhing
all over the place. Anything there?
137
00:08:46,493 --> 00:08:47,081
No.
138
00:08:47,604 --> 00:08:49,228
Holy Joe is too smart for that.
139
00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:50,996
But heck, boss.
140
00:08:51,589 --> 00:08:54,728
This French dame. That's
still a good story, isn't it?
141
00:08:56,174 --> 00:08:58,955
Before I came to this meeting,
Mr Crowley and I were ..
142
00:08:59,661 --> 00:09:01,669
Looking over the circulation figures.
143
00:09:04,147 --> 00:09:05,449
We're down again this month.
144
00:09:06,663 --> 00:09:08,297
Willis.
─ Yes, sir?
145
00:09:08,558 --> 00:09:12,614
When I put you on here, you'd been fired
from 8 jobs in as many months, right?
146
00:09:15,822 --> 00:09:16,651
Elsie.
147
00:09:17,304 --> 00:09:18,348
When you came here.
148
00:09:19,012 --> 00:09:21,751
You'd been out of work for
almost two years. Am I correct?
149
00:09:23,538 --> 00:09:24,371
And Byron.
150
00:09:25,543 --> 00:09:28,322
Byron, when we wanted you
to work here, we had to ..
151
00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:31,505
Look almost as far as
The Bowery. Didn't we?
152
00:09:33,356 --> 00:09:34,159
Didn't we?
153
00:09:35,395 --> 00:09:36,172
Yes, sir.
154
00:09:36,436 --> 00:09:38,531
When we started two years ago ..
155
00:09:39,036 --> 00:09:40,109
You were all hungry.
156
00:09:40,603 --> 00:09:42,270
You all had a grudge against the world.
157
00:09:42,695 --> 00:09:44,025
And wanted to get back at it.
158
00:09:44,659 --> 00:09:46,607
Well, I gave you the
chance to get back at it.
159
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:48,922
And I handed you
good money for doing it.
160
00:09:49,836 --> 00:09:52,805
And you did your jobs well.
You went out and dug.
161
00:09:53,270 --> 00:09:55,567
You dug deep and you came
back with good stories.
162
00:09:56,522 --> 00:10:00,838
Stuff so good that every month .. five
million Americans, all over the country.
163
00:10:01,731 --> 00:10:03,686
Were willing to go up to
their news-stands and ..
164
00:10:05,118 --> 00:10:06,433
Put down one of those.
165
00:10:07,142 --> 00:10:08,693
To buy a copy of our magazine.
166
00:10:09,853 --> 00:10:12,042
Now, for the last five or six months.
167
00:10:13,258 --> 00:10:16,398
A few less Americans have gone
up to the news-stands. Why?
168
00:10:17,576 --> 00:10:19,146
Because you're all getting fat.
169
00:10:19,377 --> 00:10:21,856
Our readers want dirt.
You're not giving it to them.
170
00:10:23,067 --> 00:10:26,459
This stuff you brought in today.
It's .. they're little stories.
171
00:10:26,704 --> 00:10:27,920
Alright for filler but ..
172
00:10:28,064 --> 00:10:31,877
Nothing big enough or sensational enough
to make us stand out from our imitators.
173
00:10:31,977 --> 00:10:33,874
And unless we stand out
from the imitators ..
174
00:10:33,974 --> 00:10:36,120
They'll climb up on our
backs, higher and higher ..
175
00:10:36,437 --> 00:10:38,046
Mr Walsh .. Mr Walsh!
176
00:10:38,292 --> 00:10:39,598
Mr Walsh, please ..
177
00:10:39,698 --> 00:10:42,356
You are interrupting a conference.
─ I'm going to do a lot more than that.
178
00:10:42,456 --> 00:10:43,849
Mr Walsh, please won't you ..?
179
00:10:47,861 --> 00:10:49,363
Is it true what I heard last night?
180
00:10:49,619 --> 00:10:52,469
You're about to sign a new printing
contract with Amos Sutter and Company?
181
00:10:53,651 --> 00:10:54,466
What of it?
182
00:10:54,807 --> 00:10:56,301
You and I have no contract.
183
00:10:56,745 --> 00:10:59,583
What's the matter, Hal? Don't you
like Harry Walsh's printing anymore?
184
00:11:00,856 --> 00:11:02,819
You are making it very
difficult for me, Harry.
185
00:11:02,919 --> 00:11:03,791
Meaning what?
186
00:11:04,181 --> 00:11:05,835
Meaning, your printing is excellent.
187
00:11:06,464 --> 00:11:07,931
It's you whom I do not like.
188
00:11:08,997 --> 00:11:09,661
Well.
189
00:11:10,221 --> 00:11:13,122
You liked me fine two years ago when you
were a nickel and dime press agent ..
190
00:11:13,317 --> 00:11:15,645
For a stable of beat up strippers
and no-talent hoofers.
191
00:11:16,571 --> 00:11:19,422
When you lived in a two-room dump in
Washington Heights with your old lady.
192
00:11:20,304 --> 00:11:23,470
When you were so busted, you didn't have
cab fare to bring you down to my office.
193
00:11:23,796 --> 00:11:26,376
So you could tell me the great
idea you had for a new magazine.
194
00:11:26,476 --> 00:11:28,639
Are you suggesting it
was not a great idea?
195
00:11:28,867 --> 00:11:31,620
It was nothing but a bunch
of dirty stories in your head.
196
00:11:32,438 --> 00:11:35,592
Stuff those poor slobs, you call your
clients, had told you in confidence.
197
00:11:36,139 --> 00:11:37,870
I'm the guy that decided
to take a chance.
198
00:11:38,361 --> 00:11:39,675
I'm the guy that said "okay"
199
00:11:40,062 --> 00:11:41,554
"You think your idea is so hot."
200
00:11:42,020 --> 00:11:43,787
"You think people
will go for this dirt."
201
00:11:43,887 --> 00:11:46,084
You sit down and write me a
first issue and I'll print it.
202
00:11:46,488 --> 00:11:49,163
You can thank me for the thirty
G's we cleared on the first issue.
203
00:11:49,565 --> 00:11:52,135
And you can thank me for the
dough that's been rolling in ever since.
204
00:11:52,525 --> 00:11:54,823
I'm the guy that did all that.
Me. Harry Walsh. Remember?
205
00:11:55,123 --> 00:11:57,116
I'm finding it more
difficult by the minute.
206
00:11:57,546 --> 00:11:59,905
You don't know yet
what difficulties are.
207
00:12:00,530 --> 00:12:02,061
But I'm going to see that you learn.
208
00:12:02,511 --> 00:12:04,392
I moved you from baked
beans up to steak.
209
00:12:04,813 --> 00:12:06,544
Well now I'm going to
move you back again.
210
00:12:06,644 --> 00:12:07,995
And before I finish with you.
211
00:12:08,095 --> 00:12:10,426
You'll be lucky if you can afford
ketchup to go with them.
212
00:12:10,526 --> 00:12:11,512
Alright. Get out.
213
00:12:11,660 --> 00:12:13,104
That's exactly what I'm doing.
214
00:12:13,672 --> 00:12:15,251
And my money is getting out with me.
215
00:12:19,853 --> 00:12:20,895
He's gone crazy.
216
00:12:22,460 --> 00:12:24,779
No he hasn't. I was trying
to tell you this morning.
217
00:12:27,050 --> 00:12:28,867
You still owe him a
hundred thousand dollars.
218
00:12:29,562 --> 00:12:31,799
I thought those notes had
been paid off long ago.
219
00:12:32,298 --> 00:12:34,867
We've been making money by the
bushel-full ever since the first issue.
220
00:12:35,305 --> 00:12:37,798
And we've been pouring it out
at approximately the same rate.
221
00:12:38,825 --> 00:12:40,206
Taxes take a huge bite.
222
00:12:40,555 --> 00:12:41,828
Look at the big staff here.
223
00:12:42,468 --> 00:12:44,857
We've got tipsters on our payroll
practically all over the world.
224
00:12:45,387 --> 00:12:49,182
Constantly shelling out for private
detectives and wire-tappers.
225
00:12:49,678 --> 00:12:51,112
All that comes high, H.R.
226
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:55,051
So do Park Avenue rents and limousines.
227
00:12:56,312 --> 00:12:57,343
I'm aware of that.
228
00:12:57,566 --> 00:12:59,554
The fact remains you have
not answered my question.
229
00:12:59,962 --> 00:13:01,558
Why was Harry Walsh not paid back?
230
00:13:01,813 --> 00:13:03,663
Notes were being paid off regularly.
231
00:13:03,873 --> 00:13:05,698
If you hadn't started
the Amos Sutter thing.
232
00:13:05,798 --> 00:13:08,539
Harry would have waited for the $100,000
just the way he waited for the rest.
233
00:13:11,539 --> 00:13:12,971
Well .. I ..
234
00:13:13,317 --> 00:13:15,567
Seem to have posed quite
a problem for us, haven't I.
235
00:13:16,181 --> 00:13:16,996
Not really.
236
00:13:17,743 --> 00:13:19,625
He's a pretty reasonable guy.
237
00:13:20,239 --> 00:13:22,541
All it takes is a nice
apologetic phone call.
238
00:13:23,351 --> 00:13:24,039
I see.
239
00:13:24,921 --> 00:13:27,140
All I have to do is tell Harry that ..
240
00:13:28,107 --> 00:13:29,723
I'm not going to sign with Amos Sutter.
241
00:13:30,108 --> 00:13:32,370
I'm perfectly happy with
Harry Walsh. Is that it?
242
00:13:33,363 --> 00:13:34,199
Precisely.
243
00:13:34,707 --> 00:13:36,037
Well, I'm not going to do it.
244
00:13:36,780 --> 00:13:37,509
Well.
245
00:13:38,014 --> 00:13:39,770
I don't see any other solution.
─ I do.
246
00:13:40,563 --> 00:13:43,190
One big issue. One
really sensational issue.
247
00:13:43,505 --> 00:13:44,808
Will pay off Harry Walsh.
248
00:13:45,577 --> 00:13:46,993
And settle the whole thing.
249
00:13:48,988 --> 00:13:51,576
Would you ask our
staff to return, please?
250
00:13:57,082 --> 00:13:58,134
Recess is over.
251
00:14:04,182 --> 00:14:05,311
Ladies and gentlemen.
252
00:14:05,972 --> 00:14:09,517
As I was saying before the
courteous Mr Walsh interrupted.
253
00:14:22,476 --> 00:14:23,749
Whatever happened to the ..
254
00:14:24,586 --> 00:14:25,961
Mary Sawyer story?
255
00:14:27,057 --> 00:14:28,372
We may have a source.
256
00:14:28,709 --> 00:14:32,348
I've been on it chief, for a month
but all I've drawn is blanks.
257
00:14:32,750 --> 00:14:36,478
Mary Sawyer is probably one of the three
big box office names in America, right?
258
00:14:37,137 --> 00:14:37,854
Right.
259
00:14:37,954 --> 00:14:41,583
She's played everything from
Joan of Arc to the Song of Faith.
260
00:14:42,653 --> 00:14:45,409
In the minds of the American public
she is practically a nun, right?
261
00:14:46,814 --> 00:14:47,486
Right.
262
00:14:47,999 --> 00:14:50,388
There has never been a breath of
public scandal about her. Right?
263
00:14:51,721 --> 00:14:52,393
Right.
264
00:14:52,625 --> 00:14:53,784
Now we all know that ..
265
00:14:53,970 --> 00:14:57,437
Any boob can bring in our kind
of a story on some .. some tramp.
266
00:14:58,273 --> 00:15:00,764
But when we bring in our kind
of a story on a Mary Sawyer ..
267
00:15:01,108 --> 00:15:02,995
That's when we hit the
circulation bulls-eye.
268
00:15:03,095 --> 00:15:04,139
Yes, I know, but ..
269
00:15:04,492 --> 00:15:07,220
I've been digging on this for a solid
month and what have I found?
270
00:15:07,944 --> 00:15:10,239
Mary Sawyer is happily
married to a doctor.
271
00:15:10,525 --> 00:15:12,755
She has a little girl named
Sandy and that's it.
272
00:15:13,048 --> 00:15:15,170
It's a dead-end, chief.
─ I don't believe it.
273
00:15:15,823 --> 00:15:17,626
There is something
dirty in everyone's past.
274
00:15:17,891 --> 00:15:19,393
And Mary Sawyer is no exception.
275
00:15:20,234 --> 00:15:21,993
The cleaner they are
on the surface, the ..
276
00:15:22,187 --> 00:15:23,508
Dirtier they are underneath.
277
00:15:24,997 --> 00:15:27,167
Well there is this guy Scott Martin.
─ Who?
278
00:15:27,561 --> 00:15:28,523
Scott Martin.
279
00:15:28,807 --> 00:15:30,790
He's a guy around town
that works with puppets.
280
00:15:30,890 --> 00:15:34,189
Puts on shows at weddings and
birthdays and small nightclubs.
281
00:15:34,289 --> 00:15:35,876
A sort of second-rate vaudevillian.
282
00:15:35,976 --> 00:15:37,420
What's he to do with Mary Sawyer?
283
00:15:37,653 --> 00:15:38,717
I don't know.
284
00:15:38,817 --> 00:15:41,833
It's just one of the tipsters I've been
using. He happened to mention the guy.
285
00:15:42,146 --> 00:15:42,790
When?
286
00:15:42,898 --> 00:15:44,726
Oh, about a week ago.
287
00:15:45,038 --> 00:15:47,669
About a week ago. And
you've done nothing about it.
288
00:15:47,962 --> 00:15:50,255
Well this isn't the only
story I've been working on.
289
00:15:50,556 --> 00:15:53,390
And after all chief, it's
not much of a lead.
290
00:15:54,315 --> 00:15:56,556
Bill, you've been around here
long enough to know that ..
291
00:15:56,656 --> 00:15:59,281
That when you deal with
someone like .. like Mary Sawyer.
292
00:15:59,762 --> 00:16:01,792
Any lead might be the
one that cracks the story.
293
00:16:03,219 --> 00:16:06,099
I want everything there is to
know about this Scott Martin.
294
00:16:07,355 --> 00:16:11,039
I don't mean being as clumsy as walking
up and asking him for his biography.
295
00:16:12,133 --> 00:16:13,966
Get started on Scott Martin.
296
00:16:14,683 --> 00:16:18,070
You've been complaining all about
your foot all morning, Arrow.
297
00:16:18,521 --> 00:16:20,507
Well, it hurts.
298
00:16:20,967 --> 00:16:22,782
Oh, it's probably just a sliver.
299
00:16:23,125 --> 00:16:24,312
Let's take a look at it.
300
00:16:25,227 --> 00:16:26,913
Oh, it's nothing.
301
00:16:27,506 --> 00:16:30,670
Come on now, on your feet, over here.
302
00:16:31,272 --> 00:16:34,678
Now, take it easy will you, boss.
303
00:16:34,992 --> 00:16:37,757
Come on. Come on now, show me that foot.
304
00:16:38,755 --> 00:16:40,835
Yep. It's a sliver alright.
305
00:16:41,226 --> 00:16:42,430
Oh, I'll pull it out.
306
00:16:45,505 --> 00:16:46,436
Ouch!
307
00:16:46,771 --> 00:16:47,537
Tex.
308
00:16:47,935 --> 00:16:48,724
Tex.
309
00:16:49,362 --> 00:16:50,526
Coming, Sally.
310
00:16:51,731 --> 00:16:54,515
You'd better lie down and take
it easy for a while, Arrow.
311
00:16:55,431 --> 00:16:57,356
Don't hurry on my account.
312
00:17:03,651 --> 00:17:04,620
Hi, Sally.
313
00:17:05,146 --> 00:17:06,200
Hi, Tex.
314
00:17:07,183 --> 00:17:08,655
It's wonderful to see you.
315
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,038
Over at the dance last Saturday night ..
316
00:17:12,326 --> 00:17:16,908
All the girls were saying you could
lasso a steer with your eyes closed.
317
00:17:17,411 --> 00:17:20,163
Thank you very much, Mr Martin.
That's enough for the time being.
318
00:17:20,424 --> 00:17:22,191
Mind waiting outside for a few minutes?
319
00:17:22,489 --> 00:17:24,116
Oh .. not at all, sir.
320
00:17:38,137 --> 00:17:39,699
How did it go?
─ I don't know.
321
00:17:39,887 --> 00:17:41,780
They didn't give me a
chance to do the whole ..
322
00:17:46,665 --> 00:17:48,625
They didn't give me a
chance to do that whole act.
323
00:17:48,775 --> 00:17:51,448
Just the part with Tex and
Sally and not too much of that.
324
00:17:52,259 --> 00:17:54,656
It felt sort of funny working
without the stage.
325
00:17:55,020 --> 00:17:57,519
There were no kids there.
Just a few executives.
326
00:17:58,236 --> 00:17:59,727
Real sour-balls.
327
00:18:00,453 --> 00:18:02,741
I don't know, Connie. It's a kid's act.
328
00:18:03,003 --> 00:18:06,296
These guys, they never even
cracked a smile. They just sat there.
329
00:18:07,076 --> 00:18:10,331
Seth is in there making with the agent.
I guess we'll all know soon enough.
330
00:18:10,685 --> 00:18:12,650
You'll get the job.
I just know you will.
331
00:18:14,512 --> 00:18:15,641
Let's move over here.
332
00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:19,154
Mr Sterling.
333
00:18:19,822 --> 00:18:23,364
A year ago my little niece told me there
was a man who did a marionette show ..
334
00:18:23,532 --> 00:18:25,520
For free once a week at the
local settlement house.
335
00:18:25,953 --> 00:18:28,263
H was so good every kid in
the neighborhood waited for ..
336
00:18:28,363 --> 00:18:30,486
That one night a week
like farmers wait for rain.
337
00:18:31,196 --> 00:18:33,749
I went out to take a look at this guy
and I knew I had found a winner.
338
00:18:34,223 --> 00:18:37,679
I tell you Mr Sterling, kids would eat
carpet tacks if Scott Martin told them.
339
00:18:38,301 --> 00:18:42,230
We'd do better trying to find someone
as much like Pappy Parker as possible.
340
00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:43,686
Don't you agree, Charlie?
341
00:18:44,498 --> 00:18:48,012
Gentlemen, the woods are full of
people who can sing like Pappy Parker.
342
00:18:48,408 --> 00:18:50,454
Since Pappy got sick
we've hired four of them.
343
00:18:50,768 --> 00:18:53,042
There are two others out there
waiting in the reception room.
344
00:18:53,524 --> 00:18:56,840
And all they've done is drive our rating
down in to the ground like a tent-peg.
345
00:18:57,283 --> 00:18:58,944
Look, we're trying to sell to children.
346
00:18:59,618 --> 00:19:01,729
They are the ones who eat
the Sterling Breakfast Foods.
347
00:19:02,187 --> 00:19:05,417
They're used to Pappy Parker and his
western songs. That's what they like.
348
00:19:05,666 --> 00:19:07,039
Wouldn't it be so wonderful?
349
00:19:07,277 --> 00:19:09,818
Just think, you'd be home
every night with me and Joey.
350
00:19:10,432 --> 00:19:14,625
Instead of working in some roadhouse in
New Jersey or a lodge meet in Brooklyn.
351
00:19:15,556 --> 00:19:19,162
I mean, no more going back to the shoe
shop at Hammersmiths when bookings fall.

I haven't even got the job yet.

get your things together, Scott.

Oh Scott, that's wonderful.

Gosh, I'd better run. I have
to pick up Joey at school.

blows my troubles away."

Tex and Sally have been talking for a
while about getting a dog in the place.
374
00:21:29,372 --> 00:21:31,284
And a kind of a problem has come up.
375
00:21:31,835 --> 00:21:33,935
Now Tex, he likes this little dog.
376
00:21:36,745 --> 00:21:40,088
His name is Count Raphael de
Gainsborough Marcel the 4th.
377
00:21:40,935 --> 00:21:43,677
Sally, on the other hand,
she likes this little dog.

His name is Spike.
379
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:51,863
Now the Count here, he's won
enough blue ribbons to put a ..
380
00:21:51,963 --> 00:21:54,957
A nice double-bow in the hair of
every little girl watching this show.
381

Spike .. well ..
382
00:21:57,819 --> 00:21:59,659
Spike just isn't the blue ribbon type.
383
00:22:00,722 --> 00:22:02,718
And Tex and Sally just
don't know what to do.
384
00:22:03,245 --> 00:22:04,900
Now, my son Joey.
385
00:22:05,515 --> 00:22:06,731
He happens to like Spike.
386
00:22:07,276 --> 00:22:09,827
And he wrote a letter to
Tex and Sally telling them so.
387
00:22:10,140 --> 00:22:11,642
And before they make up their mind.
388
00:22:11,771 --> 00:22:14,780
Tex and Sally would like to hear
from a lot of other girls and boys too.
389
00:22:15,078 --> 00:22:16,351
Should they pick the Count?
390
00:22:16,775 --> 00:22:17,533
Or Spike?
391
00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:19,184
Betting two to one on the mutt.
392
00:22:20,352 --> 00:22:21,768
Why don't you write and tell me.
393
00:22:21,892 --> 00:22:24,264
I'll be glad to pass the word
along to Tex and Sally.
394
00:22:24,804 --> 00:22:26,480
So long for now boys and girls.
395
00:22:26,815 --> 00:22:27,821
See you tomorrow.
396

Yes, we did.
403

They told me the stole would
be ready. Did it need alterations?
404
00:23:15,944 --> 00:23:18,785
Well I just felt that I didn't
need another mink stole.

00:23:20,038 --> 00:23:21,693
Mother, you have the rare distinction ..
406
00:23:21,793 --> 00:23:24,662
Of being the only woman in the western
hemisphere who doesn't like mink.
407
00:23:25,031 --> 00:23:26,901
How was lunch at La Toro?
─ Oh, excellent.

Did you have a good table?
─ Wonderful.

Didn't we, Miss Gregg?

No, no. We haven't time.

nap and before dinner.

Well, it's just ..

he won't appear."

possible to postpone my appearance.

to spare my feelings but ..

00:28:22,947 --> 00:28:25,021
Something they not only want,
but something they need.
505
00:28:25,808 --> 00:28:27,096
I am giving them the truth.
506
00:28:27,962 --> 00:28:31,114
Every month, more than five million
of them walk up to their news-stands ..
507
00:28:31,772 --> 00:28:34,022
They are not bribed,
they are not threatened.
508
00:28:34,467 --> 00:28:36,635
They come because they
want what I have to sell.
509
00:28:38,218 --> 00:28:43,047
The same argument could be used by those
who sell opium to Chinese peasants.
510
00:28:45,023 --> 00:28:46,608
The truth is not an opiate.
511
00:28:47,002 --> 00:28:48,908
The truth never really hurt anyone.
512
00:28:50,534 --> 00:28:53,047
It didn't do Governor Chetman's
daughter much good.
513
00:28:54,482 --> 00:28:58,658
Chetman's daughter did not try suicide
because of anything I said about her.
514
00:28:59,329 --> 00:29:02,713
She did it because neurotic,
sick, weak people ..
515
00:29:02,988 --> 00:29:04,990
Are always attempting
to find an excuse to ..
516
00:29:05,275 --> 00:29:07,768
To dramatize themselves
in the eyes of the world.
517
00:29:08,173 --> 00:29:10,771
If she hadn't used me, she
would have found another ..
518
00:29:11,372 --> 00:29:13,512
Someday, she will find another excuse.
519
00:29:13,947 --> 00:29:16,013
Will I be at fault then?
─ I'm no prophet.
520
00:29:16,970 --> 00:29:18,960
I can't predict what will happen.
521
00:29:19,516 --> 00:29:21,530
But I do know .. what has happened.
522
00:29:22,085 --> 00:29:22,786
Mother.
523
00:29:22,894 --> 00:29:25,536
I don't care about the Grovers
or the headwaiters or ..
524
00:29:25,974 --> 00:29:26,990
Any of the others.
525
00:29:27,423 --> 00:29:29,383
It's only a matter of time
before they come round.
526
00:29:30,330 --> 00:29:32,972
But now, today, this very minute.
527
00:29:33,690 --> 00:29:37,019
Is it too much to ask that
you, my own mother ..
528
00:29:37,411 --> 00:29:40,165
Oh, I wish I could give
you what you want.
529
00:29:40,639 --> 00:29:41,483
My approval.
530
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,956
My assurance that what
you are doing is right.
531
00:29:46,316 --> 00:29:47,437
But I can't.
532
00:29:48,321 --> 00:29:49,975
No matter how much I drink.
533
00:29:51,591 --> 00:29:52,798
No .. no matter.
534
00:29:56,311 --> 00:29:57,388
You see, son.
535
00:29:58,385 --> 00:29:59,739
In my heart.
536
00:30:00,694 --> 00:30:03,255
I agree .. with Mr Grover.
537
00:30:04,700 --> 00:30:06,255
And all those headwaiters.
538
00:30:09,260 --> 00:30:10,189
Well, if ..
539
00:30:10,812 --> 00:30:14,208
If you find the way I earn
a living so repellent.
540
00:30:14,815 --> 00:30:16,431
Why don't you go out and earn your own.
541
00:30:17,998 --> 00:30:18,928
I wish I could.
542
00:30:19,789 --> 00:30:20,836
But I'm too old.
543
00:30:22,064 --> 00:30:24,257
Too scared and .. too sick.
544
00:30:24,552 --> 00:30:27,386
No, you're not too old, you're not
too scared, you're not too sick.
545
00:30:27,804 --> 00:30:28,791
You're too smart.
546

You know as well as I that ..
547
00:30:30,982 --> 00:30:33,725
Park Avenue is a lot more comfortable
than Washington Heights.

And even though it hasn't done
much for your sense of gratitude ..

what's left of your stomach than ..

551
00:30:43,078 --> 00:30:44,094
You've had enough.
552
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,610
It's time Miss Gregg put you to bed.
553
00:30:53,070 --> 00:30:56,469
Come on now Joey. Stop reading your
baseball and finish your breakfast.

Morning, Sally.

Morning, Tex.

00:31:02,258 --> 00:31:06,293
Well, how does it feel to be just about
the most popular gal in America?

Oh stop joshing, Tex.
558
00:31:10,311 --> 00:31:13,177
But I'm beginning to worry about you.
─ Yes?
559
00:31:14,333 --> 00:31:16,692
So, I've been thinking.
─ Yes?
560
00:31:17,730 --> 00:31:18,495
Maybe ..
561
00:31:18,837 --> 00:31:22,199
Maybe we ought to consider moving
out of this dinky little apartment.
562
00:31:22,512 --> 00:31:25,477
And finding ourselves
a cute little old house.

Scott, do you mean that?
─ I don't know why not.
567
00:31:37,529 --> 00:31:39,401
Seth says the response
to the Sterling show ..
568
00:31:39,501 --> 00:31:42,067
Has been so terrific that Mr Sterling
wants to talk contracts.
569
00:31:42,289 --> 00:31:44,466
Oh, Scott .. Scott, honey.
570

Pop.
─ What?
571
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:48,178
If we move out to the country
can I have a baseball field?
572
00:31:48,278 --> 00:31:49,248
Absolutely.
573
00:31:49,348 --> 00:31:52,214
Plus a diamond studded swimming
pool and a gold plated Polo field.
574
00:31:52,642 --> 00:31:53,495
But first ..
575
00:31:53,661 --> 00:31:55,853
You still got to finish your
cereal and brush your teeth.
576
00:31:55,953 --> 00:31:57,533
Or you'll miss the school bus again.
577
00:31:57,633 --> 00:31:59,535
I'll see that he doesn't
miss it. Come on, Joey.

I've got to get to meet Mr Jackson.
I'll walk you to the bus.

Aw shucks, Sally. T'weren't nothing.
583
00:32:13,579 --> 00:32:16,291
Seriously though,
I still can't believe it.
584
00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:17,673
I can.
─ Oh.
585
00:32:18,087 --> 00:32:20,795
I could believe it.
I knew it had to happen.
586
00:32:21,726 --> 00:32:23,916
The first day I met you
eleven years ago.
587
00:32:25,144 --> 00:32:27,710
What I felt then, what I
sensed right away ..

All the millions of kids who've watched
you on TV these last days, well they ..

Sensing it now, that's all.

Oh no, that's not all.
591
00:32:37,083 --> 00:32:38,418
There is one thing more.
592
00:32:38,791 --> 00:32:41,241
Without it these last eleven years
could never have happened.
593
00:32:41,679 --> 00:32:43,324
And this couldn't have happened, either.
594
00:32:44,233 --> 00:32:45,077
There's you.
595
00:32:48,261 --> 00:32:50,035
Come on, Pop. Let's go.
─ Okay.
596
00:32:50,289 --> 00:32:51,935
Goodbye, angel.
─ So long, Mom.

Hey .. hey, how about a kiss?

Goodbye, Mom.
─ Goodbye.
599
00:33:00,397 --> 00:33:04,305
Well now, I suppose it would only
be fair, when we get that house ..

To let you two have first
choice of the bedroom.

Hello?
602
00:33:15,355 --> 00:33:17,292
Yes, this is Mrs Scott Martin.

What?
604
00:33:24,906 --> 00:33:25,721
Yes, I can.

Four o'clock this afternoon.

Oh, send her in, please.
611
00:33:49,618 --> 00:33:50,990
Mrs Martin, how do you do?
612
00:33:51,441 --> 00:33:52,485
Won't you sit down.
613
00:33:55,067 --> 00:33:56,426
It's very kind of you to come.

I didn't come out of kindness.

Not fear?
616
00:34:01,547 --> 00:34:03,064
I know your magazine, Mr Manley.
617
00:34:03,227 --> 00:34:05,980
And I know your reputation.
Does that answer your question?

With an intelligent grasp
of the basic realities ..

Such as I seldom encounter
in people I face in this room.

There is something I'd like you to see.
621

I suppose now that ..

Scott is becoming well-known it was
bound to come out sooner or later.
623
00:34:46,197 --> 00:34:47,547
Then, you knew about this?
624
00:34:48,145 --> 00:34:49,103
Of course I did.
625
00:34:49,511 --> 00:34:52,392
My husband told me about this eleven
years ago before we were married.
626
00:34:53,523 --> 00:34:55,038
Very commendable of him, I'm sure.

You'll be destroying a

Four years for armed robbery.

Yes, decent. Also, trustworthy and kind.

And a useful citizen, too.

You'll go many a long day before you
run into a man as good as Scott Martin.

And whatever he did that was
wrong, he's more than paid for.

It was not my intention to amuse you.
642
00:35:45,312 --> 00:35:48,169
I'm terribly sorry, Mrs Martin.
I didn't mean to be rude.
643

But as you were speaking I
couldn't help thinking that ..
644

I've heard these words so many
times before from other wives.
645
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,820
But, that's beside the point.
646
00:35:57,825 --> 00:36:01,379
The fact is, that nothing you
have said alters the basic issue.
647
00:36:02,687 --> 00:36:04,120
Which is .. the truth.

Unfortunately, no.

one thing, Mrs Martin.

You are an intelligent man.

what it was like to be brought up ..

husband was born and raised.

00:37:33,101 --> 00:37:36,898
"Since Scott Martin has been on the
Sterling Breakfast Food show" he, said.
677
00:37:37,133 --> 00:37:41,182
"We've sold more Korn-Krinkles and Wheat
Wallops than Papy Parker ever dreamed."
678
00:37:41,282 --> 00:37:41,927
No.
679
00:37:42,027 --> 00:37:44,632
Mind if I have a touch of old lubricant?
─ Sure, sure. Help yourself.
680
00:37:44,804 --> 00:37:46,220
Just tell me what Sterling said.
681
00:37:46,777 --> 00:37:48,572
"Let's talk contract" he said.
682
00:37:49,428 --> 00:37:50,817
"Name your own terms" he said.
683
00:37:51,561 --> 00:37:54,431
"We're not difficult people to deal
with when we're happy" he said.
684
00:37:54,647 --> 00:37:56,064
And that's only the beginning.
685
00:37:56,164 --> 00:37:58,764
When I got back to the office there
were four calls from manufactures.
686
00:37:58,864 --> 00:38:01,315
They want the rights to
Scott Martin's Tex and Sally dolls.
687
00:38:01,732 --> 00:38:04,092
A guy that makes sweaters called
all the way from Los Angeles ..
688
00:38:04,311 --> 00:38:08,152
Wants to get out a line of sportswear
for kids with Tex and Sally on them.
689
00:38:08,434 --> 00:38:09,736
A dame is waiting, a writer.
690
00:38:09,929 --> 00:38:12,913
Her publisher wants stories about
the adventures of Tex and Sally ..
691
00:38:13,013 --> 00:38:15,136
As told by Scott Martin.
And listen to this.
692
00:38:15,323 --> 00:38:17,556
I can't .. I can't take it all in.
693
00:38:19,102 --> 00:38:20,795
You know it's a funny thing, Seth.
694
00:38:21,329 --> 00:38:25,515
You push and you push and you push, and
then one day when you're so tired and ..
695
00:38:25,862 --> 00:38:27,450
And you think you can't push any more.
696
00:38:27,598 --> 00:38:30,520
Suddenly it busts open.
You've made it, you're in!
697
00:38:32,662 --> 00:38:34,570
We're in, we're in, we're in!
698
00:38:34,746 --> 00:38:36,732
We're celebrating, Connie.
I'll make you a drink.
699
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:38,876
What's wrong?
700
00:38:39,892 --> 00:38:42,702
I had a telephone call this morning
from a man named Manley.
701
00:38:43,686 --> 00:38:45,075
I've just come from his office.
702
00:38:45,794 --> 00:38:46,549
Manley?
703
00:38:47,010 --> 00:38:48,021
H.R. Manley.
704
00:38:48,583 --> 00:38:50,567
The guy who publishes that
lousy scandal magazine?
705
00:38:50,934 --> 00:38:51,806
That's right.
706
00:38:52,147 --> 00:38:53,964
Well, what in the world
did he want with you?
707
00:38:54,171 --> 00:38:57,499
He wanted to show me something
that he plans to run in his next issue.
708
00:39:01,672 --> 00:39:02,831
That isn't true, is it?
709
00:39:15,458 --> 00:39:17,704
I think if it was me, I wouldn't
have kept it from a friend.
710
00:39:18,052 --> 00:39:20,625
Seth, I don't blame you for
being mad. I know how you feel.
711
00:39:21,419 --> 00:39:24,603
But Scott and I made each other promise
that we'd never tell anyone about this.
712
00:39:24,918 --> 00:39:25,841
Why should we?
713
00:39:26,134 --> 00:39:28,885
Scott paid for what he did.
He had a right to start off clean.
714
00:39:29,167 --> 00:39:30,812
But I'm his agent. How can I handle him?
715
00:39:31,491 --> 00:39:34,436
How can I represent you with Sterling
if you don't tell me things like this?
716
00:39:34,893 --> 00:39:37,893
Since this TV break,
I knew I'd have to tell you.
717
00:39:38,245 --> 00:39:40,117
But everything has
been happening so fast.
718
00:39:40,417 --> 00:39:42,400
A lot of loose ends have
been left up in the air.
719
00:39:43,707 --> 00:39:46,267
I guess when it comes to loose ends,
it's always the unpleasant ones ..
720
00:39:46,367 --> 00:39:49,159
A guy keeps shoving aside
figuring he can tie them up later.
721
00:39:49,453 --> 00:39:50,562
Try to understand.
722
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,431
Seth, I'm not trying to defend myself.
723
00:39:54,112 --> 00:39:55,986
I've been ashamed of it
ever since it happened.
724
00:39:56,332 --> 00:39:58,732
It was pretty rotten. Nobody
knows that better than I do.
725
00:39:59,468 --> 00:40:01,313
I've been trying to make
up for it ever since.
726
00:40:01,669 --> 00:40:02,383
I didn't ..
727
00:40:02,483 --> 00:40:04,385
You don't have to explain
to me how it happened.
728
00:40:04,792 --> 00:40:06,122
I wasn't raised in a convent.
729
00:40:06,885 --> 00:40:10,842
A shift in the wind, a bum break here or
there, at that age it could have been me.
730
00:40:11,632 --> 00:40:14,107
You had every right to keep your
mouth shut. I'd have done the same.
731
00:40:14,220 --> 00:40:16,208
When you pay for something,
you pay for it, period.
732
00:40:19,926 --> 00:40:21,095
The problem is ..
733
00:40:21,598 --> 00:40:23,214
How to square it with Charlie Sterling.
734
00:40:35,421 --> 00:40:36,208
Well, I ..
735
00:40:36,945 --> 00:40:38,613
Guess you two have a lot to talk about.
736
00:40:39,035 --> 00:40:41,309
Wait. You may not have to
see Mr Sterling about this.
737
00:40:41,596 --> 00:40:42,926
What do you mean?
─ Why not?
738
00:40:43,571 --> 00:40:45,459
Manley doesn't really care about you.
739
00:40:46,558 --> 00:40:48,339
He's after the scalp of Mary Sawyer.
740
00:40:48,564 --> 00:40:49,494
The movie star?
741
00:40:49,984 --> 00:40:51,371
What's she got to do with this?
742
00:40:51,598 --> 00:40:52,672
I'm not sure.
743
00:40:53,234 --> 00:40:56,705
Well it seems that before she became
Mary Sawyer of Hollywood, she was ..
744
00:40:56,930 --> 00:40:58,432
Helen Mackenzie of Brooklyn.
745
00:40:59,825 --> 00:41:01,784
Something bad happened
to her back there.
746
00:41:02,502 --> 00:41:04,653
And Manley is very interested
in knowing all about it.
747
00:41:05,675 --> 00:41:06,344
So?
748
00:41:06,966 --> 00:41:10,124
He figures the best way to find out
is to ask somebody who knew her.
749
00:41:11,465 --> 00:41:13,656
Someone who grew up on
the same street with her.
750
00:41:15,260 --> 00:41:17,735
You grew up on the same block with
Mary Sawyer? You really knew her?
751
00:41:18,133 --> 00:41:19,350
I knew her, I knew her.
752
00:41:19,743 --> 00:41:22,208
Manley says you know about
this thing that happened to her.
753
00:41:23,630 --> 00:41:24,531
Do you, Scott?
754
00:41:26,292 --> 00:41:28,889
You mean to say this man
trades in these things?
755
00:41:29,171 --> 00:41:32,983
He's willing to kill this story on me if
I give him some dope on Mary Sawyer?
756
00:41:33,410 --> 00:41:34,094
Yes.
757
00:41:34,589 --> 00:41:36,222
Sounds like a real nice guy.
758
00:41:37,461 --> 00:41:39,790
What is this stuff about Mary
Sawyer that he wants to know?
759
00:41:39,890 --> 00:41:41,930
It doesn't matter.
─ It matters a lot to Manley.
760
00:41:42,130 --> 00:41:44,318
He's in the business of
destroying people. I'm not.
761
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:52,832
Scott.
762
00:41:54,172 --> 00:41:57,639
You understand that to save yourself you
must tell Manley what he wants to know.
763
00:42:00,759 --> 00:42:02,380
This stuff about Mary Sawyer.
764
00:42:03,226 --> 00:42:05,076
Will it hurt her badly
if you gave it to him?
765
00:42:05,889 --> 00:42:07,325
You know his magazine.
766
00:42:07,854 --> 00:42:10,585
You ever read anything in it that would
make you run out on the street ..
767
00:42:10,685 --> 00:42:13,163
And start booming the person you
were reading about for Governor?
768
00:42:14,550 --> 00:42:15,919
Who would be hurt more, Scott?
769
00:42:16,893 --> 00:42:19,614
Mary Sawyer, a big star who
has already made her pile ..
770
00:42:20,022 --> 00:42:22,583
Or Scott Martin, a guy who
is on the verge of making it?
771
00:42:23,029 --> 00:42:25,577
If you want a fair answer you'd
better ask Mary Sawyer, too.
772
00:42:25,812 --> 00:42:27,374
Yeah? A fat lot of good that will do.
773
00:42:28,260 --> 00:42:30,105
How much time did he give you?
─ Until Sunday.
774
00:42:30,592 --> 00:42:32,200
When his next issue goes to press.
775
00:42:32,442 --> 00:42:35,902
He said he wants Scott in his office by
Sunday afternoon with the information.
776
00:42:37,571 --> 00:42:38,370
Or else.
777
00:42:38,955 --> 00:42:40,823
I wonder if it would
help if I talked to him?
778
00:42:40,923 --> 00:42:43,339
Oh, pleading with H.R. Manley
is a waste of time, Seth.
779
00:42:43,554 --> 00:42:44,713
Believe me, I tried it.
780
00:42:47,202 --> 00:42:49,920
Well .. I guess that
leaves it squarely ..
781
00:42:50,123 --> 00:42:52,005
Where H.R. Manley put it.
782
00:42:52,261 --> 00:42:53,110
In my lap.
783
00:42:54,311 --> 00:42:55,227
In my lap.
784
00:43:04,517 --> 00:43:05,189
Scott.
785
00:43:07,697 --> 00:43:09,330
You've got a big career ahead of you.
786
00:43:11,403 --> 00:43:13,224
I can walk in on Sterling
tomorrow, and ..
787
00:43:13,324 --> 00:43:16,940
Walk out with a piece of paper that will
make you both financially independent.
788
00:43:17,936 --> 00:43:20,080
If Manley runs this in his magazine.
789
00:43:20,433 --> 00:43:23,632
The bit of paper won't be worth a nickel.
Neither will you. Do you understand that?
790
00:43:23,860 --> 00:43:25,419
Of course I understand it.
─ Well?
791
00:43:26,113 --> 00:43:27,635
Well, I'll have to think it over.
792
00:43:27,735 --> 00:43:29,850
Don't look at me in that
tone of voice. I'm no rat.
793
00:43:30,220 --> 00:43:32,552
I don't want to see anything bad
to happen to that Sawyer girl.
794
00:43:32,913 --> 00:43:35,492
But you're caught in the middle
of it, and you're my friend.
795
00:43:35,798 --> 00:43:38,345
You've got a wife, you've got
a son, you've got a great career.
796
00:43:39,403 --> 00:43:42,009
Have you any idea what you
can do for people you love ..
797
00:43:42,174 --> 00:43:43,561
If you got money to do it with?
798
00:43:45,818 --> 00:43:46,919
Don't ruin your life.
799
00:43:50,986 --> 00:43:52,683
Hi, Joey.
─ Hello, Mr Jackson.
800
00:43:57,792 --> 00:43:59,014
Time for dinner, Mom?
801
00:44:00,157 --> 00:44:01,011
Yes, Joey.
802
00:44:01,659 --> 00:44:02,617
Time for dinner.
803
00:44:03,604 --> 00:44:04,646
Guess what, Pop?
804
00:44:05,012 --> 00:44:06,859
I got three hits.
─ No.
805
00:44:07,370 --> 00:44:09,041
Joe Carter hit a home run.
─ Did he?
806
00:44:09,325 --> 00:44:11,511
We lost it though .. but
in an extra innings.
807
00:44:17,447 --> 00:44:18,831
A slow day today, Pop.
808
00:44:19,291 --> 00:44:21,174
Only four kids asked for your autograph.
809
00:44:21,531 --> 00:44:23,854
I guess I must be slipping.
─ I'm not, though.
810
00:44:24,192 --> 00:44:27,220
You know what happened, Mom?
One kid even asked for my autograph.
811
00:44:27,635 --> 00:44:29,593
On account of Pop, I'm a big hero.
812
00:44:32,324 --> 00:44:33,654
You know, it's a funny thing.
813
00:44:33,994 --> 00:44:38,132
All the kids have known me for two years
from the shows at the settlement house.
814
00:44:38,351 --> 00:44:42,389
Sure, Pop. But now you're on television.
Now everything is different.
815
00:45:09,197 --> 00:45:10,297
Is he asleep?
816
00:45:10,864 --> 00:45:12,399
Yes, finally. Thank goodness.
817
00:45:13,436 --> 00:45:14,978
I thought we'd never be alone.
818
00:45:15,745 --> 00:45:18,860
Ever since Seth left, all through
dinner I've had to sit on myself ..
819
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,265
To keep from popping the
question in front of Joey.
820
00:45:24,515 --> 00:45:26,875
Aren't you going to tell me about
this thing with Mary Sawyer?
821
00:45:26,975 --> 00:45:28,180
Nothing to tell, Connie.
822
00:45:28,434 --> 00:45:30,540
Manley thinks there is.
You told Seth there is.
823
00:45:31,510 --> 00:45:34,329
I'm your wife. I have a right to know.
─ I've never lied to you.
824
00:45:34,591 --> 00:45:37,165
I'm not lying to you now. I give
you my word of honor, Connie.
825
00:45:37,471 --> 00:45:39,819
There was absolutely nothing in the
information Manley wants ..
826
00:45:39,919 --> 00:45:41,606
That has anything to do with you and me.
827
00:45:45,271 --> 00:45:46,372
You don't believe me?
828
00:45:49,553 --> 00:45:50,619
Connie, listen.
829
00:45:51,986 --> 00:45:56,063
Living on my block when I was
a kid was no technicolor picnic.
830
00:45:56,416 --> 00:45:59,144
This Sawyer girl. She was
no worse than the rest of us.
831
00:45:59,552 --> 00:46:00,995
One time she got in a jam.
832
00:46:01,369 --> 00:46:03,801
My mother helped her.
I had nothing to do with it.
833
00:46:04,337 --> 00:46:08,115
It could have been anybody that gave her
a hand but it happened to be my mother.
834
00:46:09,054 --> 00:46:11,578
That's all there was to it,
Connie. I swear to you.
835
00:46:12,088 --> 00:46:13,608
That's all there was to it.
836
00:46:14,126 --> 00:46:16,807
If that's all there was to it, why
are you so anxious to defend her?
837
00:46:17,005 --> 00:46:20,233
I'm not defending her. I haven't
seen this girl in twenty years.
838
00:46:20,603 --> 00:46:23,557
She meant absolutely nothing to me
then, she means even less now.
839
00:46:23,815 --> 00:46:25,517
Then why can't you tell
me what happened?
840
00:46:25,682 --> 00:46:27,586
Because I'm afraid of what you might do.
841
00:46:28,471 --> 00:46:32,030
I'm afraid you'll save me from squealing
to Manley by going and doing it yourself.
842
00:46:32,130 --> 00:46:33,638
In other words, you don't trust me?
843
00:46:33,738 --> 00:46:36,187
That's not what I'm saying.
─ But that's what it adds up to.
844
00:46:37,155 --> 00:46:39,492
If our positions were reversed
you wouldn't even have to ask.
845
00:46:39,592 --> 00:46:41,925
If our positions were reversed,
I wouldn't dream of asking.
846
00:46:48,683 --> 00:46:49,540
I love you.
847
00:46:50,335 --> 00:46:52,544
That also happens to mean I trust you.
848
00:46:56,245 --> 00:46:57,787
Alright, I'm sorry.
849
00:46:59,003 --> 00:47:01,016
Of course I trust you. That's not the ..
850
00:47:03,454 --> 00:47:04,670
What are you going to do?
851
00:47:06,144 --> 00:47:07,214
I wish I knew.
852
00:47:08,979 --> 00:47:11,460
You have to know by the time you
meet Seth for lunch tomorrow.
853
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:12,669
Let me think.
854
00:47:13,976 --> 00:47:16,758
There are a couple of things I don't
want you to leave out of your thinking.
855
00:47:17,961 --> 00:47:21,869
Up to now, what money we had was always
enough, so long as we had it together.
856
00:47:22,036 --> 00:47:24,133
Let's keep money out of this.
─ Why should we?
857
00:47:24,453 --> 00:47:26,303
Most men like to do
things for their family.
858
00:47:26,403 --> 00:47:28,368
I suppose I don't?
─ I didn't say that.
859
00:47:28,635 --> 00:47:31,147
All I'm saying is that for the
first time in our married life ..
860
00:47:31,406 --> 00:47:33,394
There has been enough
money around to talk about ..
861
00:47:35,219 --> 00:47:36,575
I want you to make a choice.
862
00:47:37,156 --> 00:47:38,784
Between Mary Sawyer, and us.
863
00:47:39,061 --> 00:47:40,759
Suppose I do what Manley wants.
864
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,965
What guarantee do I have that he won't
run that story sometime in the future?
865
00:47:44,139 --> 00:47:46,631
At least if he does run it in
the future, Joey will be older.
866
00:47:46,835 --> 00:47:49,111
We've always planned to tell
Joey about my prison record.
867
00:47:49,211 --> 00:47:52,830
We planned to tell him when he was 15.
He's not old enough to handle it now.
868
00:47:54,798 --> 00:47:57,132
I'm not asking you to
buy me a mink coat.
869
00:47:58,646 --> 00:48:00,744
I'm asking you to buy a little time.
─ Time ..
870
00:48:00,844 --> 00:48:02,426
A few years. For Joey.
871
00:48:05,896 --> 00:48:08,823
I want you to promise me you'll
tell Manley what he wants to know.
872
00:48:09,331 --> 00:48:10,950
I can't.
─ You've got to.
873
00:48:11,050 --> 00:48:14,599
I've got to. That's what Manley says.
I've got to. You're no better than him.
874
00:48:25,876 --> 00:48:27,206
Oh that pig.
875
00:48:28,276 --> 00:48:29,901
That dirty, rotten animal.
876
00:48:30,476 --> 00:48:33,392
He hasn't even printed a word yet
and look what he's done to us already.
877
00:49:10,946 --> 00:49:12,485
[ Telephone ]
878
00:49:18,415 --> 00:49:20,830
Hello?
─ "Connie? This is Seth Jackson."
879
00:49:21,652 --> 00:49:22,538
Hello, Seth.
880
00:49:22,868 --> 00:49:24,284
"Connie, I've just had an idea."
881
00:49:24,656 --> 00:49:27,040
"It's a long-shot and I can't
to do it without your permission."
882
00:49:27,140 --> 00:49:28,844
"But, I don't want you to turn me down."
883
00:49:29,539 --> 00:49:30,755
"Is Joey there with you?"
884
00:49:31,485 --> 00:49:32,176
Yes.
885
00:49:32,599 --> 00:49:33,426
Hmm.
886
00:49:34,222 --> 00:49:34,979
Well ..
887
00:49:36,691 --> 00:49:37,845
Alright, bring him in.
888
00:49:46,909 --> 00:49:49,022
Hello there.
─ Hello, Sir.
889
00:49:51,313 --> 00:49:52,951
What's the .. what's the "T" for?
890
00:49:53,747 --> 00:49:54,705
The Tigers, sir.
891
00:49:54,943 --> 00:49:56,751
Uhuh .. what position do you play?
892
00:49:57,444 --> 00:49:58,193
Catcher.
893
00:49:58,368 --> 00:50:00,127
Catcher? That's a tough
position, isn't it?
894
00:50:00,566 --> 00:50:01,597
I like catching.
895
00:50:02,631 --> 00:50:04,845
You .. you ever been to a World Series?
896
00:50:05,192 --> 00:50:05,921
No, sir.
897
00:50:06,355 --> 00:50:07,657
Well, you and I have a date.
898
00:50:07,837 --> 00:50:10,638
The next Subway series, you and I
are going to the opening. Okay?
899
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,345
Gee, that would be swell.
900
00:50:15,386 --> 00:50:16,230
Miss Turner.
901
00:50:16,516 --> 00:50:20,000
Why don't you take our young friend out
and buy him a great big ice-cream soda.
902
00:50:20,784 --> 00:50:22,230
Yes, sir.
─ Bye now.
903
00:50:23,127 --> 00:50:23,909
Bye, sir.
904
00:50:25,832 --> 00:50:26,673
Okay, Joey.
905
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:32,976
That's a fine lad.
906
00:50:34,792 --> 00:50:35,724
A fine boy.
907
00:50:39,050 --> 00:50:40,468
This is a new wrinkle.
908
00:50:40,667 --> 00:50:44,143
Never before have I had anyone
bring in a small boy to plead a case
909
00:50:47,325 --> 00:50:50,343
If you print that story on Scott Martin,
you'll be ruining a family.
910
00:50:52,109 --> 00:50:54,460
I thought I'd show you a sample
of what you'll be ruining.
911
00:50:56,548 --> 00:50:57,976
The truth never ruined anyone.
912
00:50:59,319 --> 00:51:01,132
It's a rotten world
full of rotten people.
913
00:51:01,731 --> 00:51:04,203
The sooner that boy realizes it,
the better for him.
914
00:51:05,641 --> 00:51:08,922
Why should he go through life
believing his father is a Galahad?
915
00:51:09,544 --> 00:51:12,084
When you and I know he's
nothing but an ex-convict.
916
00:51:12,512 --> 00:51:15,340
Who cut up an defenceless, innocent
man in an attempt to rob him.
917
00:51:18,376 --> 00:51:21,047
You've taken the trouble to dig
back through Scott Martin's life ..
918
00:51:21,147 --> 00:51:23,397
To the place where he did
that terrible thing at nineteen.
919
00:51:25,265 --> 00:51:27,339
Between then and now,
he's done a lot of other things.
920
00:51:28,102 --> 00:51:29,406
And they're all pretty good.
921
00:51:29,506 --> 00:51:33,278
If you set that to music I'm sure you'll
enjoy quite a sale at the record shops.
922
00:51:36,005 --> 00:51:36,792
Mr Manley.
923
00:51:38,454 --> 00:51:40,245
Giving this family a break can't ..
924
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,162
Okay, Mr Manley .. how much?
925
00:51:50,441 --> 00:51:51,902
Bribery?
─ Why not?
926
00:51:52,631 --> 00:51:54,333
Decency doesn't seem
to have much effect.
927
00:51:54,975 --> 00:51:55,744
How much?
928
00:51:56,847 --> 00:51:58,302
If I were a short-tempered man ..
929
00:51:58,402 --> 00:52:01,253
I would have every right to throw
you out of this office, physically.
930
00:52:02,523 --> 00:52:03,934
I'm not interested in bribery.
931
00:52:04,185 --> 00:52:05,526
No, I guess you don't.
932
00:52:06,483 --> 00:52:08,577
Aren't you worrying
a little unnecessarily?
933
00:52:09,542 --> 00:52:13,182
I know your Mr Martin is a little upset
now and he has every right to be.
934
00:52:13,932 --> 00:52:16,106
It's natural .. it does him credit.
935
00:52:17,096 --> 00:52:20,518
He must for a while feel
that he is Sir Galahad.
936
00:52:20,782 --> 00:52:22,660
Protecting the fair name of Mary Sawyer.
937
00:52:23,388 --> 00:52:26,429
But he'll snap out of it in plenty of
time to bring me the information I need.
938
00:52:27,107 --> 00:52:27,951
They all do.
939
00:52:28,657 --> 00:52:30,435
You'll never get it from Scott Martin.
940
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,075
I've made quite a study of human
nature and I can assure you that ..
941
00:52:34,254 --> 00:52:37,931
Your Scott Martin will be here
in my office, noon, Sunday.
942
00:52:39,034 --> 00:52:39,935
Ready to talk.
943
00:53:04,860 --> 00:53:07,526
Somewhere in your family tree
Homer, I'll wager there was a ..
944
00:53:07,762 --> 00:53:10,094
A minister of the gospel.
Perhaps several.
945
00:53:11,181 --> 00:53:12,769
I have noticed a very strange thing.
946
00:53:13,032 --> 00:53:16,041
Every time we have to come into this
office to do some work on Sunday.
947
00:53:16,997 --> 00:53:18,423
You always deliver a sermon.
948
00:53:19,252 --> 00:53:20,826
The Lord's day is the time for truth.
949
00:53:21,933 --> 00:53:24,719
I was merely observing H.R. that
you're an extremely lucky man.
950
00:53:25,834 --> 00:53:29,293
The world being what it is, a man is
better off with luck than with brains.
951
00:53:30,258 --> 00:53:31,760
I'm not saying you don't have both.
952
00:53:32,117 --> 00:53:32,921
Thank you.
953
00:53:33,649 --> 00:53:36,416
The Scott Martin file, Mr Manley.
─ Thank you, Miss Turner.
954
00:53:36,903 --> 00:53:40,759
I merely said that when you started on
Scott Martin he was completely unknown.
955
00:53:41,419 --> 00:53:44,593
You were interested in him only because
of what he could say about Mary Sawyer.
956
00:53:46,156 --> 00:53:48,187
Thanks to this magic box, however.
957
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,737
In this last week, Scott Martin has
become almost as famous as Mary Sawyer.
958
00:53:54,708 --> 00:53:56,265
Thanks to your .. luck.
959
00:53:57,549 --> 00:54:00,073
You're wrong, Homer.
Luck had nothing to do with it.
960
00:54:01,343 --> 00:54:04,696
I know that if I dig deeply enough,
no matter who the person is ..
961
00:54:05,181 --> 00:54:06,454
I'll find something rotten.
962
00:54:08,058 --> 00:54:09,644
Scott Martin is no exception.
963
00:54:11,147 --> 00:54:12,650
Unfortunately, however.
964
00:54:13,024 --> 00:54:15,218
From a circulation standpoint.
965
00:54:15,910 --> 00:54:17,735
He is no Mary Sawyer. Yet.
966
00:54:18,654 --> 00:54:22,104
He's like Rosemary Dalton
or Pop Beresford or ..
967
00:54:22,476 --> 00:54:23,589
Holy Joe Brown.
968
00:54:24,294 --> 00:54:25,498
Okay for filler but ..
969
00:54:25,958 --> 00:54:28,157
Nothing big enough to
peg a whole issue on.
970
00:54:29,034 --> 00:54:31,776
Nothing big enough to
pay back .. Harry Walsh.
971
00:54:32,085 --> 00:54:33,909
To the tune of 100,000.
972
00:54:35,194 --> 00:54:36,164
So, Homer ..
973
00:54:37,316 --> 00:54:40,550
Our next issue .. the issue I'm going
to send to press this afternoon.
974
00:54:41,178 --> 00:54:42,565
Will be pegged on ..
975
00:54:43,671 --> 00:54:44,998
The Mary Sawyer story.
976
00:54:45,695 --> 00:54:47,269
If Scott Martin shows up with it.
977
00:54:47,523 --> 00:54:49,605
I've built the situation
without any "if's".
978
00:54:49,848 --> 00:54:50,892
[ Buzzer ]
979
00:54:54,631 --> 00:54:55,511
Send him in.
980
00:54:58,841 --> 00:55:00,110
Mr Scott Martin.
981
00:55:02,591 --> 00:55:04,615
How do you do, Mr Martin?
Very happy to see you.
982
00:55:05,627 --> 00:55:09,807
In a manner of speaking, you confirm
my long-held opinion of human nature.
983
00:55:10,661 --> 00:55:12,213
Mr Crowley, my partner.
984
00:55:12,559 --> 00:55:15,006
He keeps an eye on the legal
aspects of the enterprise.
985
00:55:16,057 --> 00:55:17,101
Won't you sit down.
986
00:55:17,319 --> 00:55:18,388
You look tired.
987
00:55:19,211 --> 00:55:20,830
I haven't been getting much sleep.
988
00:55:21,309 --> 00:55:25,540
Well, I understand that. It must have
been quite a difficult decision to make.
989
00:55:26,155 --> 00:55:27,204
It wasn't easy.
990
00:55:27,524 --> 00:55:29,330
No. It's never easy for any of us.
991
00:55:30,155 --> 00:55:32,991
But .. the business of
day-to-day living is ..
992
00:55:33,283 --> 00:55:34,961
More complicated than most of us think.
993
00:55:35,566 --> 00:55:37,578
But we all have to make
difficult decisions.
994
00:55:38,603 --> 00:55:42,403
Did you find it difficult to make your
decision to print this story about me?
995
00:55:43,127 --> 00:55:45,492
Fortunately, you spared me the ..
996
00:55:45,931 --> 00:55:48,834
Necessity of making this
particular unpleasant decision.
997
00:55:50,666 --> 00:55:54,857
You have my word, that once you give me
the information on Mary Sawyer, the ..
998
00:55:55,125 --> 00:55:58,574
Scott Martin story will
be as dead as a flounder.
999
00:56:03,032 --> 00:56:06,491
I hate to rush you Mr Martin, but
we go to press this afternoon.
1000
00:56:06,941 --> 00:56:10,342
Ad I have to have something in writing
to satisfy Mr Crowley's legal mind.
1001
00:56:11,227 --> 00:56:13,759
So, I you don't mind, I'll have
Miss Turner come in with her notebook.
1002
00:56:14,152 --> 00:56:15,339
That won't be necessary.
1003
00:56:16,826 --> 00:56:17,750
Mr Martin.
1004
00:56:18,174 --> 00:56:20,133
Unless you've brought me
the information I need ..
1005
00:56:20,233 --> 00:56:22,025
In the form of a written statement.
1006
00:56:22,611 --> 00:56:24,390
I haven't brought anything, Mr Manley.
1007
00:56:24,886 --> 00:56:26,578
I'm not giving you any information.
1008
00:56:28,959 --> 00:56:29,746
Well.
1009
00:56:30,651 --> 00:56:32,294
I admit, you surprise me.
1010
00:56:33,207 --> 00:56:36,056
I thought after the talk with
your wife the other day that ..
1011
00:56:36,589 --> 00:56:38,017
Things would work out for you.
1012
00:56:39,263 --> 00:56:41,745
I thought I made it quite clear.
─ I know, I know.
1013
00:56:42,048 --> 00:56:43,216
She told me all of it.
1014
00:56:44,406 --> 00:56:46,165
It might interest you
to know, Mr Manley ..
1015
00:56:46,277 --> 00:56:48,693
That since you put that
loaded gun to my head ..
1016
00:56:48,858 --> 00:56:51,253
My wife and I have talked
about nothing else.
1017
00:56:52,110 --> 00:56:54,336
We've discussed it back
and forth, up and down.
1018
00:56:54,553 --> 00:56:57,332
Around and across until the
words stopped meaning anything.
1019
00:56:58,128 --> 00:57:01,139
We've talked at each other in a way
we never dreamed was possible ..
1020
00:57:01,372 --> 00:57:03,039
Before you entered our lives.
1021
00:57:04,098 --> 00:57:07,529
But it's not a dream, Mr Manley.
It's all true .. thanks to you.
1022
00:57:08,993 --> 00:57:12,577
This morning my wife took my boy and
they moved over to her mother's house.
1023
00:57:12,861 --> 00:57:16,185
So no matter what else happens here,
you already have the credit for that.
1024
00:57:17,892 --> 00:57:22,133
I thought I'd learnt all there was about
dirt when I was a kid back in Brooklyn.
1025
00:57:22,993 --> 00:57:25,131
But you're a new kind of dirt.
1026
00:57:25,897 --> 00:57:28,530
You came all dolled up in $300 suits.
1027
00:57:28,821 --> 00:57:32,383
You live in Park Avenue. You work
in an office as big a skating rink.
1028
00:57:33,878 --> 00:57:35,230
You don't look like dirt.
1029
00:57:35,997 --> 00:57:39,555
You look like someone a kid ought to
get up for when you come into a room.
1030
00:57:40,468 --> 00:57:42,997
You've got the whole country
sitting on the edge of a cliff.
1031
00:57:43,615 --> 00:57:46,920
Holding their breath, wondering who's
the next guy you decide to shove over.
1032
00:57:47,815 --> 00:57:50,228
Well, I don't mind being
shoved over. Not anymore.
1033
00:57:50,435 --> 00:57:52,731
The worst that could happen
to me has already happened.
1034
00:57:53,026 --> 00:57:55,776
Even before you printed a word,
I've got nothing more to lose.
1035
00:57:56,041 --> 00:57:57,421
Mr Martin.
1036
00:57:58,534 --> 00:57:59,808
I'd like to tell you how ..
1037
00:58:12,422 --> 00:58:15,299
Scott, what would you do
if you were in my shoes?
1038
00:58:15,993 --> 00:58:17,702
I don't even know what to do in my own.
1039
00:58:18,068 --> 00:58:18,716
Seth?
1040
00:58:19,787 --> 00:58:21,668
This is my day for
listening, Mr Sterling.
1041
00:58:21,932 --> 00:58:23,095
I wish it were mine.
1042
00:58:23,922 --> 00:58:25,672
As a businessman, I'm troubled.
1043
00:58:26,598 --> 00:58:28,734
As a human being, I'm outraged.
1044
00:58:29,598 --> 00:58:31,997
That doesn't male for a
comfortable frame of mind.
1045
00:58:33,048 --> 00:58:34,696
I am sorry, Mr Sterling.
1046
00:58:35,163 --> 00:58:36,761
Sorrow never solved anything.
1047
00:58:38,587 --> 00:58:43,075
If I manufactured rowboats or whiskey
or girdles, I could see some hope.
1048
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:45,232
But breakfast foods?
1049
00:58:45,332 --> 00:58:49,200
With an audience of children, the show's
star is a real honest-to-goodness hero.
1050
00:58:49,612 --> 00:58:50,628
He must be a hero.
1051
00:58:51,218 --> 00:58:53,593
If all those kids become
disillusioned, we're in trouble.
1052
00:58:54,202 --> 00:58:55,418
If it weren't for that.
1053
00:58:55,997 --> 00:58:59,241
I could say to Manley, go ahead
and publish your filthy rag.
1054
00:58:59,552 --> 00:59:01,427
I've got a great
salesman for my product.
1055
00:59:01,902 --> 00:59:03,169
You can't hurt him or it.
1056
00:59:04,553 --> 00:59:05,749
But with kids ..
1057
00:59:06,628 --> 00:59:08,992
Isn't there some way we can stop this?
─ No.
1058
00:59:09,767 --> 00:59:11,478
Mr Sterling ..
─ I said "No!".
1059
00:59:15,907 --> 00:59:16,545
Oh.
1060
00:59:17,473 --> 00:59:18,388
Just a minute.
1061
00:59:23,149 --> 00:59:25,708
Oh, Scott.
─ Hello, mother.
1062
00:59:27,263 --> 00:59:28,104
Come in.
1063
00:59:31,022 --> 00:59:32,959
I hope you don't mind
my dropping in like this.
1064
00:59:33,500 --> 00:59:34,694
Of course not, Scott.
1065
00:59:35,432 --> 00:59:38,199
But .. Connie won't be
home for more than an hour.
1066
00:59:38,446 --> 00:59:40,310
She said ..
─ That's alright, I was ..
1067
00:59:40,977 --> 00:59:43,420
I was wondering if I could have
a few moments alone with Joey.
1068
00:59:43,923 --> 00:59:45,365
Oh Scott, of course you may.
1069
00:59:45,846 --> 00:59:46,627
Pop.
1070
00:59:49,956 --> 00:59:51,209
How are you, Joey?
1071
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:52,907
Fine, Pop.
1072
00:59:56,008 --> 00:59:57,307
Well, I have missed you.
1073
00:59:59,487 --> 01:00:00,596
Me, too.
1074
01:00:02,419 --> 01:00:03,780
I've been sort of wondering.
1075
01:00:04,221 --> 01:00:05,124
Well, I ..
1076
01:00:05,479 --> 01:00:08,834
I've been pretty busy, Joey.
You know this TV ..
1077
01:00:09,274 --> 01:00:10,710
It's all so new to me. I've ..
1078
01:00:11,474 --> 01:00:13,474
I've had to stick pretty
close to the studio.
1079
01:00:14,087 --> 01:00:15,507
The show is just great, Pop.
1080
01:00:16,565 --> 01:00:18,514
Boy, you want to see the kids in school.
1081
01:00:21,090 --> 01:00:22,144
Pop.
─ What?
1082
01:00:24,202 --> 01:00:25,796
When Mom and I came here to live ..
1083
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,779
She said it was on account
of Grandma being sick.
1084
01:00:29,629 --> 01:00:31,264
But I don't think Grandma is sick.
1085
01:00:32,021 --> 01:00:34,002
I mean .. she doesn't look sick.
1086
01:00:34,886 --> 01:00:36,690
So we ought to be coming home soon.
1087
01:00:37,121 --> 01:00:37,936
Right, Pop?
1088
01:00:38,315 --> 01:00:40,134
Right, Joey. Very soon.
1089
01:00:41,819 --> 01:00:43,922
But first, there is something
I want to tell you.
1090
01:00:45,404 --> 01:00:48,607
Remember last spring when
Little League practice started?
1091
01:00:49,310 --> 01:00:52,076
You broke Mrs Lester's
window and I punished you.
1092
01:00:53,255 --> 01:00:55,227
Oh boy .. I sure do.
1093
01:00:55,692 --> 01:00:57,425
Not because you broke the window.
1094
01:00:57,685 --> 01:01:00,144
That could happen to anybody.
It wasn't your fault.
1095
01:01:01,125 --> 01:01:02,331
But you lied about it.
1096
01:01:02,885 --> 01:01:04,088
That was your fault.
1097
01:01:04,875 --> 01:01:07,276
And I wanted to teach you
something very important.
1098
01:01:07,814 --> 01:01:09,545
That's it's wrong to tell lies.
1099
01:01:10,377 --> 01:01:13,292
So I said you couldn't play
ball for the rest of that week.
1100
01:01:15,051 --> 01:01:17,869
I haven't told a lie since.
─ Oh, I know you haven't, Joey.
1101
01:01:18,185 --> 01:01:19,528
And I'm proud of you.
1102
01:01:20,145 --> 01:01:22,543
All I'm saying is, that when
you do something wrong ..
1103
01:01:23,387 --> 01:01:25,757
Something that is your fault,
no matter who you are.
1104
01:01:26,265 --> 01:01:27,811
You have to take your punishment.
1105
01:01:28,830 --> 01:01:32,148
Because that's the way people learn
not to do those wrong things again.
1106
01:01:33,076 --> 01:01:34,521
You understand what I mean, Joey?
1107
01:01:35,625 --> 01:01:37,560
I think so.
─ Well ..
1108
01:01:38,625 --> 01:01:40,851
A long time ago, when I was very young.
1109
01:01:41,211 --> 01:01:43,757
But not as young as you are,
Joey, but young enough.
1110
01:01:45,244 --> 01:01:46,833
I did something wrong.
1111
01:01:48,010 --> 01:01:48,717
What?
1112
01:01:49,782 --> 01:01:52,645
I tried to take some money
that didn't belong to me.
1113
01:01:53,441 --> 01:01:55,169
The person I tried to take it from ..
1114
01:01:56,012 --> 01:01:58,736
He got sort of excited and .. I ..
1115
01:01:59,785 --> 01:02:02,357
In all the excitement,
I was holding a knife.
1116
01:02:03,595 --> 01:02:05,078
I hurt him pretty badly.
1117
01:02:05,401 --> 01:02:08,153
I didn't mean to, but that
didn't make any difference.
1118
01:02:08,611 --> 01:02:09,782
I did something wrong.
1119
01:02:11,059 --> 01:02:12,724
So, I had to be punished.
1120
01:02:13,397 --> 01:02:14,062
How?
1121
01:02:15,908 --> 01:02:17,104
They sent me to prison.
1122
01:02:18,274 --> 01:02:18,975
Prison?
1123
01:02:19,870 --> 01:02:21,639
Yes, Joey. For four years.
1124
01:02:22,555 --> 01:02:24,705
I've always been sorry
for what I've done, Joey.
1125
01:02:25,626 --> 01:02:26,298
But ..
1126
01:02:28,029 --> 01:02:31,531
Your mother and I planned to tell you
about this when you were a little older.
1127
01:02:32,230 --> 01:02:36,047
Something has happened though .. that
makes it important to tell you now.
1128
01:02:36,528 --> 01:02:38,145
You mean, Mom knows about it, too?
1129
01:02:38,513 --> 01:02:41,814
I told her a long time ago,
Joey, just as I've told you.
1130
01:02:42,938 --> 01:02:44,704
Because, in this country.
1131
01:02:45,191 --> 01:02:47,753
When you do something wrong
and you take your punishment.
1132
01:02:48,139 --> 01:02:49,030
That ends it.
1133
01:02:50,213 --> 01:02:52,206
Except when something unusual happens.
1134
01:02:53,464 --> 01:02:54,320
Unusual?
1135
01:02:56,573 --> 01:02:57,911
There is a magazine, Joey.
1136
01:02:59,304 --> 01:03:01,760
I don't think it's a very
nice magazine, but ..
1137
01:03:01,996 --> 01:03:03,298
What I think doesn't matter.
1138
01:03:04,870 --> 01:03:06,273
And in the next issue ..
1139
01:03:06,819 --> 01:03:08,321
They are going to print this story.
1140
01:03:08,813 --> 01:03:11,030
That I just told you,
about me being in prison.
1141
01:03:12,114 --> 01:03:12,729
Why?
1142
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,036
Because some people like
to read that kind of story.
1143
01:03:18,555 --> 01:03:20,057
They are willing to pay to read it.
1144
01:03:20,762 --> 01:03:22,934
Not all people, Joey. Just some.
1145
01:03:24,062 --> 01:03:25,929
Will it have your picture in it, too?
1146
01:03:28,030 --> 01:03:28,842
Yes, Joey.
1147
01:03:30,518 --> 01:03:34,740
All the kids, your friends in school,
those kids who asked for my autograph.
1148
01:03:35,762 --> 01:03:37,789
The chances are they
will see that picture.
1149
01:03:39,910 --> 01:03:41,154
It's not going to be easy.
1150
01:03:42,710 --> 01:03:44,571
As a matter of fact,
it will be sort of rough.
1151
01:03:46,606 --> 01:03:48,984
And that's why I came
over to talk to you, Joey.
1152
01:03:52,731 --> 01:03:54,053
I'm going to need your help.
1153
01:03:56,691 --> 01:03:58,727
Your mother is very
worried about this, Joey.
1154
01:03:59,050 --> 01:04:02,348
That .. that magazine will be
out in a day or two, and ..
1155
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,211
You know how women are,
they're not as strong as men, and ..
1156
01:04:06,671 --> 01:04:09,860
I'm so busy at the studio, I may
not be here when she sees it.
1157
01:04:11,248 --> 01:04:14,145
It would help a lot Joey, if
could count on you to ..
1158
01:04:14,550 --> 01:04:16,552
To see to it that she doesn't worry.
1159
01:04:19,071 --> 01:04:19,792
Okay?
1160
01:04:23,393 --> 01:04:24,279
Okay, Pop.
1161
01:04:26,771 --> 01:04:27,754
Thanks, Joey.
1162
01:04:28,956 --> 01:04:30,843
I don't care what they say about you.
1163
01:04:31,422 --> 01:04:32,666
You're the greatest dad ..
1164
01:04:33,825 --> 01:04:36,752
I mean .. you're the greatest
dad anybody ever had.
1165
01:04:37,535 --> 01:04:38,608
You're the greatest!
1166
01:04:49,090 --> 01:04:49,790
Scott.
1167
01:04:50,203 --> 01:04:50,999
[ Buzzer ]
1168
01:04:51,998 --> 01:04:54,294
Yes, Jim?
─ "Our Cleveland office just called."
1169
01:04:54,517 --> 01:04:55,804
"Since 9 o'clock this morning."
1170
01:04:55,904 --> 01:04:59,232
"They've had protests from 16 major
grocers and several smaller ones."
1171
01:04:59,409 --> 01:05:01,704
"Mothers and fathers coming
to the stores and saying that .."
1172
01:05:01,804 --> 01:05:03,580
I know what they're saying. Thanks.
1173
01:05:07,256 --> 01:05:09,149
If we let you stay on the show, Scott ..
1174
01:05:09,406 --> 01:05:13,422
It seems the only people in America who
will still buy Sterling breakfast foods.
1175
01:05:13,853 --> 01:05:15,298

He's certainly done a
good job on us, hasn't he.
1177
01:05:18,078 --> 01:05:22,489
The board went with me when I suggested
we keep Scott to see how this pans out.
1178
01:05:23,414 --> 01:05:25,128
Well .. now we've seen.
1179
01:05:26,692 --> 01:05:28,586
The public always calls the tune.
1180
01:05:28,938 --> 01:05:31,364
And the public in this case
has called it against you.
1181
01:05:32,525 --> 01:05:33,826
I'm sorry, Scott.
1182
01:05:36,590 --> 01:05:40,999
Now, dear. I know it's a terrible thing,
but we knew it was going to happen.
1183

Try not to be too upset.
1184

You know something, mother?
1185
01:05:47,441 --> 01:05:49,286
I've suddenly stopped being scared.
1186
01:05:50,193 --> 01:05:53,098
For the past three weeks ever
since that terrible man called me.
1187
01:05:53,198 --> 01:05:57,649
I've sat crouched in a corner, my face
in my hands, waiting for the explosion.
1188

Now that it's come,
now that it's happened.
1189
01:06:01,330 --> 01:06:03,495
I can think again.
I can see myself again.
1190
01:06:03,849 --> 01:06:05,322
Mother, can you tell me something?
1191
01:06:05,674 --> 01:06:08,845
Why have I been so frightened
and so pig-headed and selfish?
1192
01:06:09,352 --> 01:06:11,679
What was I doing here when
Scott was going through this?
1193
01:06:11,779 --> 01:06:13,468
Wanting to do what was best for Joey.
1194
01:06:13,651 --> 01:06:15,316
How about what was best for Scott?
1195
01:06:15,562 --> 01:06:17,283
You were afraid, dear.
─ Of what?
1196
01:06:17,999 --> 01:06:19,810
Some printed words or photographs?
1197
01:06:21,228 --> 01:06:23,899
Nothing is as bad as being
afraid of what is going to happen.
1198
01:06:24,588 --> 01:06:26,760
It's happened. They can't do
anything more to us now.
1199

Where are you going?
─ To pick up Joey at school.
1200
01:06:29,971 --> 01:06:32,132
Somebody is bound to have
shown him that filthy thing.
1201
01:06:32,873 --> 01:06:34,557
I want to be with him and I'm late.
1202
01:06:35,267 --> 01:06:36,718
I'll be back to pick our things.

where we should have been all this time.

Hey Joey, is your old man
still wearing his stripes?

Hey, where is your
old man's striped suit?

Did they call him "Champ" in prison?

Joey's old man is a jailbird.

Ladies and gentlemen.
1306
01:14:56,779 --> 01:15:00,346
This morning, my wife and I were
the parents of a ten-year-old boy.
1307
01:15:01,846 --> 01:15:03,390
He wasn't a genius.
1308
01:15:04,426 --> 01:15:06,239
But he was pretty bright in school.
1309
01:15:07,268 --> 01:15:08,440
And who knows?
1310
01:15:08,974 --> 01:15:12,815
With luck, he might have done something
that people would have found useful.
1311
01:15:15,266 --> 01:15:18,659
We had a certain amount of trouble
getting him to pick up his room.
1312
01:15:20,085 --> 01:15:23,784
And last spring, when the Little
League practice started, he ..
1313
01:15:24,647 --> 01:15:28,337
Broke a neighbor's window that
cost me ten dollars to replace.
1314
01:15:29,769 --> 01:15:31,904
But .. to my knowledge he never ..
1315
01:15:32,347 --> 01:15:33,841
Hurt anybody deliberately.
1316
01:15:35,534 --> 01:15:37,817
He wasn't particularly handsome.
1317
01:15:40,426 --> 01:15:43,143
But we found him .. pleasant to look at.
1318
01:15:46,140 --> 01:15:49,227
What I'm trying to say is
that .. to my wife and me.
1319
01:15:50,319 --> 01:15:50,962
Well.
1320
01:15:51,661 --> 01:15:54,393
He made the world .. bright for us.
1321
01:15:56,658 --> 01:15:58,576
For ten years, until this morning.
1322
01:15:59,898 --> 01:16:01,997
He was everything we had.
1323
01:16:04,472 --> 01:16:06,030
Tonight our son is dead.
1324
01:16:07,931 --> 01:16:10,401
The newspapers say he
died in an auto accident.
1325
01:16:11,703 --> 01:16:13,344
But actually he was poisoned.
1326
01:16:15,601 --> 01:16:19,160
Up until about a week or so ago,
I never thought much about poisons.
1327
01:16:20,846 --> 01:16:23,837
Since then however, I've been
thinking about little else.
1328
01:16:25,790 --> 01:16:29,358
During the past week I have become
quite an authority on poisons.
1329
01:16:31,357 --> 01:16:33,252
In the hope that what I have learned ..
1330
01:16:33,597 --> 01:16:36,597
May help prevent the same
thing from happening to you.
1331
01:16:37,487 --> 01:16:38,760
I would like to tell you ..
1332
01:16:38,917 --> 01:16:42,229
How .. why .. and by whom.
1333
01:16:42,589 --> 01:16:43,748
Our son was killed.
1334
01:16:46,308 --> 01:16:47,986
Every person in this country.
1335
01:16:48,803 --> 01:16:50,817
No matter how decent and honorable.
1336
01:16:52,194 --> 01:16:57,879
Went to a news-stand and paid 25c for a
copy of the latest issue of Real Truth.
1337
01:16:58,671 --> 01:17:01,242
Helped spread the
poison that killed my boy.
1338
01:17:02,966 --> 01:17:05,347
I know they didn't mean to do it.
1339
01:17:07,019 --> 01:17:09,604
But Joey is just as dead as if they had.
1340
01:17:12,458 --> 01:17:14,989
I hope the next person you help to kill.
1341
01:17:15,860 --> 01:17:18,533
Won't be someone .. you love.

1343

Do you know what this means?

Tomorrow morning, news of the boy's death
and his father's talk on television ..
1346
01:17:47,558 --> 01:17:51,116
Will be splashed across the front page
of every newspaper in this country.
1347
01:17:51,478 --> 01:17:53,388
It's the biggest publicity
break we've ever had.
1348
01:17:54,229 --> 01:17:55,616
Do you realize what this means?
1349
01:17:56,861 --> 01:17:58,851
We'll be able to pay off Harry Walsh.
1350
01:17:59,665 --> 01:18:01,851
This is the last issue
he'll ever publish for us.
1351
01:18:03,773 --> 01:18:05,579
I want you get hold of him on the phone.
1352
01:18:05,935 --> 01:18:08,038
Tell him to get the crews
over to the plant right away.
1353
01:18:08,275 --> 01:18:10,245
Tell them to send them
in taxis if necessary.
1354
01:18:10,919 --> 01:18:12,501
We're going to work around the clock.
1355
01:18:13,392 --> 01:18:14,098
Homer.
1356
01:18:14,766 --> 01:18:18,149
Did I tell you our next issue was
going to be a sensation or did I not?
1357
01:18:20,260 --> 01:18:21,132
Right, Homer.
1358
01:18:22,175 --> 01:18:25,184
After you've talked to Walsh, grab
a cab and meet me at the office.
1359
01:18:25,910 --> 01:18:27,536
We've got work to do tonight.
1360
01:18:36,722 --> 01:18:37,652
Mother, that ..
1361
01:18:38,979 --> 01:18:40,459
That must have sound a little ..
1362
01:18:41,131 --> 01:18:41,927
Rough.
1363
01:18:45,151 --> 01:18:48,109
But then .. well .. business talks.
1364
01:18:48,570 --> 01:18:50,876
Especially in a time of stress or ..
1365
01:18:51,248 --> 01:18:52,911
Often happen to sound ..
1366
01:18:57,375 --> 01:18:59,554
This child's death was quite upsetting.
1367
01:19:00,194 --> 01:19:02,170
I'm going to ask Miss
Turner to send flowers.
1368
01:19:03,108 --> 01:19:05,296
I believe red roses or ..
1369
01:19:06,287 --> 01:19:07,338
What do you think?
1370
01:19:07,744 --> 01:19:09,226
Perhaps white carnations ..?
1371
01:19:11,576 --> 01:19:12,963
Yeah, yeah. Sure. Look, look ..
1372
01:19:13,135 --> 01:19:15,503
I'm earmarking 100,000
copies for you boys in Detroit.
1373
01:19:15,603 --> 01:19:17,505
They'll be going out first
thing in the morning.
1374
01:19:18,334 --> 01:19:19,516
I'm in here, H.R.
1375
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:22,749
Now look, you guys get on the
ball. If you need äny extra copies ..
1376
01:19:25,004 --> 01:19:26,290
I was expecting H.R.
1377
01:19:27,065 --> 01:19:27,947
You were?
1378
01:19:28,642 --> 01:19:29,886
Haven't yöu heard what ..?
1379
01:19:34,617 --> 01:19:38,048
"The most sensational development
in a truly sensational day."
1380
01:19:38,713 --> 01:19:42,036
"H.R. Manley, the editor and
publisher of Real Truth magazine."
1381
01:19:42,334 --> 01:19:44,288
"Has been shot and killed
earlier this evening."
1382
01:19:45,027 --> 01:19:47,607
"The police have not yet been able to
get a statement from Mrs Manley."
1383
01:19:47,774 --> 01:19:49,279
"As to her motive for the murder."
1384
01:19:49,379 --> 01:19:51,729
"There seems to be little doubt
it's in some way connected .."
1385
01:19:51,829 --> 01:19:54,903
"With the sensational teleçast
made by Scott Martin earlier."
1386
01:19:58,818 --> 01:19:59,584
Scott!
1387
01:20:00,610 --> 01:20:01,574
Scott .. Connie!
1388
01:20:06,298 --> 01:20:07,457
I just had to tell you.
1389
01:20:07,759 --> 01:20:09,379
It looks like you started something.
1390
01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:10,723
People are sore, real mad.
1391
01:20:11,544 --> 01:20:13,046
The studio is swamped with calls.
1392
01:20:13,575 --> 01:20:16,654
People will quit buying the magazine.
They'll tell friends to stop buying it.
1393
01:20:19,592 --> 01:20:21,123
I thought you'd like to know, Scott.
1394
01:20:21,359 --> 01:20:22,765
Thanks, Seth.
─ You know ..
1395
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:25,788
If enough people get to feel this way.
1396
01:20:27,231 --> 01:20:29,643
If enough people stop buying
those rotten rags, maybe ..
1397
01:20:29,877 --> 01:20:31,242
That's right, Seth .. maybe.
1398
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:33,011
Maybe.
1399
01:21:02,085 --> 01:21:03,099
