00:01:22 #1 the first one here this morning.

00:01:46 #2 What do you mean, Banks, sleeping in Mr. Addison's office?

00:01:50 #3 Get out of here.

00:01:54 #4 Now imagine waking up and seeing you first thing in the morning.

00:02:02 #5 What a way to start a day.

00:02:05 #6 Banks?

00:02:06 #7 Now let me tell you something else.

00:02:08 #8 If you don't have some blankets and a pillow

00:02:10 #9 put in this office, I want to put work in here.

00:02:13 #10 Banks, you're a disgrace to the newspaper profession.

00:02:16 #11 It isn't a profession.

00:02:18 #12 It's a game.

00:02:20 #13 I don't want to play with you.

00:02:22 #14 The same thing after every payday.

00:02:24 #15 Runk and disorderly.

00:02:26 #16 You know, Hessell, you are not really as bad as you seem.

00:02:32 #17 Nobody could be that bad.

00:02:35 #18 Here, have a little drink.

00:02:37 #19 You might put a new life in an old body.

00:02:40 #20 That'll cost you your job.

00:02:42 #21 Troy, I'll see that you're fired for this paper as soon as Mr. Addison arrives.

00:02:51 #22 right for holy lesson and so there are 1790 newspapers in the United States and I've

00:02:59 #23 only worked on 16 of them. Tomorrow you'll be free to connect with your 17th yeah.

00:03:06 #24 Well if the old man does fire me I promise to come in your office and kiss

00:03:10 #25 a good bye but aren't you afraid that he might have you tired. I feel a team of

00:03:16 #26 mind to get you my job but you got a promise never to be late more than

00:03:25 #27 a little. Hello Steve. You were literally this morning I was here first except

00:03:31 #28 for Frank Marowell boy you she ran. Either that I've been taking a bath

00:03:38 #29 with your clothes on.

00:03:42 #30 Watch your. Boy you're not the thing that makes the room we're official

00:03:48 #31 Right.

00:03:49 #32 Hey, squint, whatever it is.

00:03:50 #33 I'm paid to go and down that way.

00:03:53 #34 Well, you ain't paid so much you have to get technical about it.

00:03:56 #35 Here, get this full of Java, and don't get any rain in it.

00:04:00 #36 Hey, what do you get for running all your errands?

00:04:03 #37 Didn't I give you two passes for her first sin last night?

00:04:06 #38 And with a rotten shell.

00:04:08 #39 Yeah, that's why I give you the passes.

00:04:10 #40 Man, that.

00:04:20 #41 Oh, and I'm tired of myself.

00:04:22 #42 I passed the night with the baby.

00:04:23 #43 Whose baby?

00:04:24 #44 My wife.

00:04:25 #45 There. What a day, what a day.

00:04:31 #46 Now don't tell me it's raining outside.

00:04:33 #47 Even Noah never saw this much rain.

00:04:35 #48 You know, I think I'll drink a little of it for breakfast,

00:04:37 #49 and it won't be so much.

00:04:39 #50 Morning, Chief.

00:04:41 #51 What a day, what a day.

00:04:43 #52 And how?

00:04:45 #53 You know anything about this pretty girl

00:04:47 #54 and the dope they found in their apartment?

00:04:49 #55 Pretty? Pretty.

00:04:51 #56 Here's the story of the morning hallowed by your wife.

00:04:54 #57 Looks like she beat you to it.

00:04:56 #58 Rose, Paredy, Queen of the Underworld.

00:04:59 #59 Stood off the police department last night

00:05:01 #60 while she demolished the inside of her apartment

00:05:03 #61 at 341 First Street.

00:05:04 #62 The arresting officer Thomas O'Riand

00:05:06 #63 that she was under the influence of...

00:05:07 #64 Cutticks. How cute.

00:05:09 #65 Why were you while all this was going on?

00:05:12 #66 I'm trying to remember.

00:05:14 #67 Let me see. I remember hearing

00:05:17 #68 that they were going to raid the Paredy Gals' apartment.

00:05:19 #69 And?

00:05:20 #70 So I went to Joe Reno's speakeasy.

00:05:24 #71 That geography don't make sense.

00:05:26 #72 Well, you see, I had a sneaking hunch

00:05:29 #73 that Reno knows more about this narcotic ring than his telly.

00:05:32 #74 I remember having a lot of four drinks

00:05:34 #75 of Reno's bar of varnish,

00:05:35 #76 and I remember asking a lot of questions.

00:05:38 #77 Then I landed outside on my ear.

00:05:41 #78 What's Reno got to do with this pretty key?

00:05:44 #79 Now, that's what I didn't find out.

00:05:46 #80 Well, give me a rehash and make it snappy.

00:05:48 #81 Come on.

00:05:51 #82 Say, I wonder if the district attorney

00:05:53 #83 knows anything about this racket.

00:05:57 #84 I think I'll wake him up and find out.

00:05:59 #85 Oh, good morning, Mr. Reno.

00:06:02 #86 Well, how are you?

00:06:03 #87 How's the restaurant business these days?

00:06:05 #88 Well, Hensel, the restaurant business is all right,

00:06:08 #89 but I'm thinking of taking my advertising out of the express.

00:06:12 #90 One of your drunken reporters, a fellow by the name of Banks,

00:06:16 #91 came in my place last night and insulted Alderman

00:06:19 #92 Jungmeyer by asking him a lot of important questions.

00:06:23 #93 He was also very insulting to me when I asked him to leave

00:06:26 #94 and made a lot of drunken threats.

00:06:28 #95 Always had several complaints about banks.

00:06:31 #96 I don't see that he's fired at once. That's fine.

00:06:35 #97 Thank you.

00:06:39 #98 That'll cool banks off all right.

00:06:43 #99 Did Harris fall? No.

00:06:46 #100 Yes, I know, Mr. Muller.

00:06:47 #101 I'm awfully sorry I woke you up.

00:06:49 #102 But you're the district attorney, aren't you?

00:06:51 #103 And if you're the district attorney,

00:06:53 #104 you ought to know something about these narcotics.

00:06:55 #105 Or maybe you're trying to hide something.

00:06:57 #106 Oh, what do you mean?

00:07:00 #107 Hey, you want to get a near fuller? What are you saying to that one?

00:07:02 #108 He's yelling like an opera singer.

00:07:06 #109 Why, Mr. Muller, I have never heard such language coming from a public official.

00:07:10 #110 You should be ashamed, Mr. Muller.

00:07:13 #111 Now, let me tell you something else.

00:07:15 #112 I once knew a district attorney who was hung because he refused to give information to the newspapers.

00:07:22 #113 What's that? You'll have me fired.

00:07:24 #114 I'm afraid you're a little late.

00:07:26 #115 There's a couple of bits in ahead of yours.

00:07:29 #116 I guess he doesn't know anything.

00:07:33 #117 I know something, Bank.

00:07:35 #118 You can down the cash in, get your money right now.

00:07:37 #119 Are you in again? What's the idea?

00:07:39 #120 The idea is that you're selling one of our big advertisers.

00:07:42 #121 And I take the responsibility of discharging him at once.

00:07:45 #122 That's a big responsibility.

00:07:47 #123 Now, wait a minute, Antoine.

00:07:49 #124 As long as I'm city editor, I'll hire and fire my own staff.

00:07:51 #125 You see, smarty?

00:07:52 #126 He spends all his time fighting.

00:07:54 #127 all the time. I'm not warning you until I'm telling you get out of my

00:08:01 #128 department and stay out on him and they had our children but your knuckles.

00:08:07 #129 And they have stepped on him and squash you know what I can't understand is how

00:08:11 #130 the cockroach exterminator ever missed that guy last time he was in the building.

00:08:16 #131 I'll say one thing for you you don't make my life a better road.

00:08:20 #132 Good morning, little loud speakers of newspaper land.

00:08:24 #133 Good morning. Good afternoon.

00:08:27 #134 I couldn't find the cab.

00:08:29 #135 You mean you couldn't find one to fit you?

00:08:32 #136 You know we're still getting out an afternoon newspaper, even if it's raining.

00:08:37 #137 Imagine me giving advice to the loved one on a day like this.

00:08:41 #138 Now, Vera, you're not going to tell me it's raining outside.

00:08:44 #139 No. I sprinkle myself every morning.

00:08:49 #140 it keeps me fresh.

00:08:51 #141 Oh is that what does it?

00:08:53 #142 You won't be so fresh when you find out what Fanny Claus lets in the hall for you.

00:08:58 #143 Holy smoke, not the wife.

00:09:01 #144 In person.

00:09:03 #145 Now there's something to think about.

00:09:05 #146 It is if I know my women.

00:09:08 #147 Ha hee hee. Ha ha ha ha.

00:09:12 #148 Ha.

00:09:15 #149 Oh, got out.

00:09:17 #150 That's not what he was for.

00:09:21 #151 Good morning, dear.

00:09:22 #152 Well, huh.

00:09:26 #153 Oh, is it raining outside?

00:09:28 #154 She, you and I are going to have a little talk.

00:09:31 #155 Why, certainly, dear.

00:09:32 #156 Shall we go inside?

00:09:33 #157 I can tell you all I've got to say right here.

00:09:35 #158 Gee, that's a swell hat you've got on there.

00:09:37 #159 Is that a new one?

00:09:38 #160 Steve, let's come to the point.

00:09:40 #161 All right, what's the matter, dear?

00:09:41 #162 What have I done?

00:09:42 #163 Where were you last night?

00:09:44 #164 Where was I last night?

00:09:46 #165 Last night I

00:09:48 #166 Well, didn't you get my message what?

00:09:51 #167 Well my message I I told Hoffman to call you and

00:09:56 #168 Wait a minute. I'll get that guy out here. Never mind. I know where you were

00:10:00 #169 You and deep Thomas were probably having a drinking bout somewhere. Well, yes, we did have a couple

00:10:05 #170 But where did drinking get him?

00:10:07 #171 There isn't a newspaper in this town that will hire him back and you're getting just like him. Well now dick and I were working

00:10:13 #172 We were working on that party case.

00:10:17 #173 And by the way, dear, that was a swell story you had in the morning, Harold.

00:10:21 #174 So you were working on the party case?

00:10:24 #175 Well, you weren't with the Rating Party.

00:10:26 #176 You weren't at the jail when they brought her in.

00:10:29 #177 You must have come up with that case by remote control.

00:10:31 #178 Now there's more to that case than appears on the surface.

00:10:34 #179 You think so, do you?

00:10:35 #180 Well, what are you supposed to get to her do?

00:10:36 #181 I suppose you know all about it.

00:10:37 #182 No, but I got a pretty good hunch.

00:10:39 #183 Oh.

00:10:40 #184 Oh, you're always having hunches about something.

00:10:45 #185 And now it's dope.

00:10:46 #186 Dope peddlers hiding under cradles, mothers crying for it,

00:10:50 #187 fathers yelling about it.

00:10:53 #188 With your wild imagination, you'll probably

00:10:55 #189 have me mixed up in this thing.

00:10:56 #190 All right, all right.

00:10:57 #191 But where do you suppose these narcotics

00:10:59 #192 get their laughing powder from? China?

00:11:01 #193 Like carry a pigeon?

00:11:02 #194 The trouble with you is you get all your ideas out

00:11:04 #195 of a bottle.

00:11:06 #196 Don't you suppose the statistic attorney and the police

00:11:08 #197 department know what's going on?

00:11:10 #198 There are a lot of saps.

00:11:12 #199 Well, that isn't what I came here to talk about anyway.

00:11:15 #200 Well, I don't see why you should be soaring me.

00:11:18 #201 I'll tell you why.

00:11:20 #202 The two years I've been trying to make a home for us.

00:11:23 #203 And last night,

00:11:25 #204 he was coming home to his favorite dish, liver and onions.

00:11:28 #205 I'll get Hoffman just a minute. He should have caught...

00:11:30 #206 And he's a thankful little wife.

00:11:32 #207 Looks like a dumb-bell to live in the clock,

00:11:34 #208 entertaining himself with the fate of cold liver.

00:11:37 #209 Oh, Marge, I tried to get word to you.

00:11:38 #210 I wouldn't say anything.

00:11:40 #211 It's been going on for two years, and I'm through this time.

00:11:43 #212 Well, I'm worried. You don't mean that.

00:11:45 #213 Why not?

00:11:46 #214 If I'm going to be a widow, I might as well make it official.

00:11:49 #215 But you know this newspaper game just as well as I do.

00:11:52 #216 I've got to make a living, ain't I?

00:11:54 #217 You're always blaming something besides yourself.

00:11:57 #218 You're always making promises and breaking them.

00:12:00 #219 And I'm always forgiving you.

00:12:03 #220 Oh, last night I thought it all over.

00:12:06 #221 it all over myself. I want to do. Well the morning good morning. I don't suppose

00:12:23 #222 you young married people see enough of each other even but you have to be fooling

00:12:27 #223 in dark hallways the morning. You. Know where the new I want to go about that

00:12:38 #224 Go ahead.

00:12:43 #225 Hey, Miss Wilson, here yet?

00:12:46 #227 Yes, sir.

00:12:47 #228 How about, uh, Hoover Beach?

00:12:49 #229 Does the Senate ratify that Grimes bill?

00:12:51 #230 Hey, who covered that simply fire?

00:12:53 #231 How about Banks? Did he get his story?

00:12:55 #232 Wasn't Drunck again last night, was he?

00:12:57 #233 Well, when did this come in?

00:12:58 #234 Just now, sir.

00:12:59 #235 Oh, Miss Wilson, Miss Wilson. Yes, sir.

00:13:26 #243 to come with him. There's no other man is that. No thanks I think I'll

00:14:23 #252 If you'd only quit drinking. Maybe so. I was talking to Dr. McCoy yesterday.

00:14:28 #253 He said drinking is a mental habit because you actually get more stimulation out of

00:14:32 #254 sleep. Yeah and then you turn into a china man and open a laundry. What's this stuff?

00:14:41 #255 Oh say, how about the laundry? I mean my clothes and things. How am I going to get them?

00:14:46 #256 them. Let me know when you come. I don't know

00:15:42 #266 You didn't start reaching soon enough.

00:15:44 #267 Hey, copy.

00:15:59 #276 Hold on, boys, we're going around the curb.

00:16:02 #277 Let me go ahead.

00:16:03 #278 If there's people in the city,

00:16:05 #279 if there's a toll it will be headed under the heading

00:16:07 #280 of the crack-tracking of the man by the way.

00:16:14 #281 John John, yes, Peter?

00:16:16 #282 Oh, what are they trying to do?

00:16:18 #283 Freezing them to death in my own office?

00:16:20 #284 Ah, God.

00:16:27 #285 Peter, you hear?

00:16:28 #286 I get it.

00:16:30 #287 What was that?

00:16:31 #288 Just fire.

00:16:33 #289 your body accepted. You want to talk about it. No way it's in here.

00:16:40 #290 Where were you last night. I'll play for what I was. What don't ask riddles.

00:16:45 #291 You bet you're on the griddle. You got that you went to Reno

00:16:49 #292 Cafe and saw it all in my mind if you place it in I want to ask you to leave

00:16:53 #293 say what kind of a name you're trying to give this paper you try to ruin our

00:16:56 #294 circulation you want me to answer those all at once or do you want separate

00:17:00 #295 answers what said all what differences it makes I'm sick of this bum racket anyhow

00:17:05 #296 it isn't even a racket it's a disease that gets in your blood and rings out like

00:17:11 #297 an old mop what are newspapers good for anyhow two minutes scandal for a lot of

00:17:18 #298 dump hole ox that can't even read English and what are they good for after that

00:17:21 #299 something to put on their carpets plugs for rat holes wrapping paper for boot

00:17:25 #300 letters, bed quilts for bums in the park and a lot of other things.

00:17:29 #301 So, that's the way you feel about it, is it, you young whippersnapper?

00:17:33 #302 That's the way I feel about it, you old flap-dodo.

00:17:36 #303 Why...

00:17:37 #304 Thanks, I...

00:17:39 #305 I used to think you had something in you, but I see I was mistaken.

00:17:44 #306 You're a cutter. You're yellow.

00:17:47 #307 And worst of all, you're not even a good newspaper man.

00:17:51 #308 Who says I'm not?

00:17:52 #309 Probably mud at the honorable profession of journalism.

00:17:55 #310 And why?

00:17:56 #311 Just because you fell down on a news story.

00:17:58 #312 You can't talk to me like that.

00:17:59 #313 I've forgotten more about news than you'll ever know.

00:18:01 #314 Stand out on an assignment.

00:18:03 #315 And what happens?

00:18:04 #316 Drunk and disorderly and a cheap speaking.

00:18:06 #317 But where do you suppose news comes from?

00:18:08 #318 The old lady's home?

00:18:09 #319 Oh, Bob.

00:18:10 #320 Your wife's a better newspaper man than you are.

00:18:11 #321 Why, you wrinkled old squash.

00:18:13 #322 I was after a real story last night,

00:18:15 #323 but it's just as well I didn't get it.

00:18:17 #324 You wouldn't dare print it if I had.

00:18:19 #325 You can't intimidate me.

00:18:21 #326 I'll print anything that's found in on fat.

00:18:23 #327 You wouldn't know a fact if it walked in here through its arms around you.

00:18:26 #328 No. I know a good newspaper man when I see one.

00:18:29 #329 I'll show you who's a good newspaper man.

00:18:31 #330 I'll put a story on your dust someday that'll turn this town upside down.

00:18:34 #331 Ah, get out of here before I lose my temper.

00:18:36 #332 Oh, I'm a newspaper man, huh?

00:18:38 #333 What are you talking about?

00:18:39 #334 You're a new self-desperation.

00:18:41 #335 Yes, I suppose so. Well, you can take this paper.

00:18:43 #336 I worked on better papers than this. You know, I don't have to...

00:18:44 #337 Why, you can't talk to me like that.

00:18:46 #338 No, I don't have to talk to you like that. Get out of here.

00:18:48 #339 Who's willing? Daniel or the lion?

00:18:51 #340 What happened?

00:18:52 #341 You ought to quit the newspaper game and publish bedtime stories for weak-minded children.

00:18:58 #342 What's up?

00:18:59 #343 Brilliant young reporter thrown out on ear, wife and family destitute.

00:19:04 #344 Fives?

00:19:05 #345 I believe that's what I understood him to say.

00:19:08 #346 That's the third time this month.

00:19:10 #347 Well, maybe I can patch it up again.

00:19:12 #348 Well, if you can do it this time, you'll get the first prize in cash work.

00:19:15 #349 Who are you?

00:19:16 #350 I am the father of my mother.

00:19:18 #351 in that way. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

00:19:28 #352 I mean I don't know right I know what they make. You want to write up that

00:20:12 #359 Right. Some day it'll be just too bad.

00:20:16 #360 Did you get the gate seat?

00:20:20 #361 No, no.

00:20:21 #362 The place was just getting too crowded,

00:20:23 #363 so I quit to make more room for Vera.

00:20:25 #364 Well, it won't take much to fill the hole in your living room.

00:20:28 #365 Right. That's why I recommended Pell to my job.

00:20:30 #366 Yeah, well, if I had your job, I'd do more writing and let's talk it.

00:20:34 #367 There, I guess that puts me in my place, huh?

00:20:36 #368 He's a good guy.

00:20:38 #369 Hey! Who's got my jackknife?

00:20:42 #370 Don't look at me. I gave it back to you.

00:21:11 #375 Don't leave me alone.

00:21:12 #376 I'll be home by the time before you get another new superman like me around here.

00:21:16 #377 Hope that's true!

00:21:18 #378 Yeah, hey, you see him, Bill?

00:21:20 #379 He's a good natch in the club.

00:21:35 #380 Hello, Dick! What happened to you last night?

00:21:41 #381 It's the last time I'll ever sleep under that down-barley statue.

00:21:49 #382 Why?

00:21:50 #383 Why do pigeons have to build their nest on statues?

00:21:56 #384 And why are they so blue this lovely morning?

00:22:02 #385 I've got my troubles.

00:22:04 #386 Domestic or professional?

00:22:07 #387 Both.

00:22:08 #388 Good.

00:22:09 #389 Then there's nothing to interfere with our thinking.

00:22:13 #390 Oh, I don't blame Margie.

00:22:15 #391 I guess I am kind of a tramp.

00:22:17 #392 But that old dried up alligator in there burns me up.

00:22:20 #393 Now keep this thought pure.

00:22:22 #394 He knows I could never quit newspapering,

00:22:24 #395 so the old crow cans me twice a month just to rub it in.

00:22:28 #396 Journalism is but a faithless stuff.

00:22:33 #397 Bum newspaper man, am I?

00:22:35 #398 I'll show a story in his face someday that'll make his ears rattle.

00:22:39 #399 Anger does not become my placid brow.

00:22:42 #400 Well, do you blame me for being sore?

00:22:44 #401 In another couple of days I'd have had Reno's ma bowl wrapped up and delivered.

00:22:48 #402 wrapped up and delivered I have a noble idea let's hear it if pleasure be

00:22:55 #403 died then that has returned to the scene of last night level but ain't it a little

00:23:01 #404 soon after what happened at Reno's yesterday wreck not the dead yesterday wreck

00:23:09 #405 only the beautiful tomorrow well I feel like wrecking something let's go let's

00:23:15 #406 The way.

00:23:37 #407 What are you going to do about this guy, Bank?

00:23:39 #408 I'm telling you, he's nothing to worry about.

00:23:41 #409 He's just a harmless drunk.

00:23:43 #410 He's smarter than you think he is.

00:23:44 #411 He's not so smart.

00:23:46 #412 I had him canned this morning.

00:23:48 #413 He said you know who he is.

00:23:49 #414 Okay.

00:23:50 #415 Okay, please.

00:23:51 #416 You can't shut that guy up by canning him.

00:23:54 #417 What good is a newspaper, man?

00:23:56 #418 Without a newspaper.

00:23:57 #419 We've got to think of ourselves, Joe.

00:23:58 #420 You ain't the only one in this racket.

00:24:00 #421 I'll handle this.

00:24:01 #422 You ain't gonna let him come in here again, are you?

00:24:03 #423 Why not?

00:24:04 #424 He amuses me.

00:24:06 #425 That's where you fellas are all wrong.

00:24:09 #426 Is my dear old grandmother used to say to me,

00:24:11 #427 you can catch more flies with honey

00:24:14 #428 than you can with vinegar?

00:24:15 #429 Yeah.

00:24:17 #430 You take my tip and you'll use a fly swatter.

00:24:20 #431 Listen, that loud mouth for Eddie Dave starts squawking.

00:24:24 #432 We'll all be getting our meals to where I'm borrowed.

00:24:25 #433 Yeah.

00:24:26 #434 Go.

00:24:27 #435 Be right with you.

00:24:28 #436 Now if you were smart, little boy, you'd pay more attention to your grandmother.

00:24:33 #437 All right, Vic?

00:24:53 #438 Where is my bitter friend Mr. Reno?

00:24:57 #439 Oh, he's out picking up the plates you threw at him last night.

00:25:01 #440 I do hope he isn't upset.

00:25:03 #441 Oh, no.

00:25:04 #442 He enjoyed it.

00:25:06 #443 It helps business.

00:25:08 #444 We need to delay further, my good man.

00:25:12 #445 No, you will have to wait till Joe comes back.

00:25:16 #446 Procrastination is the feet of faith.

00:25:21 #447 As I was saying to George, I never seen a newspaper guy

00:25:26 #448 yet that wasn't a lousy backbiting yellow dog at heart.

00:25:32 #449 In a short time, the Knuckle Party

00:25:35 #450 was in full progress. I hope that neither you guys are newspaper men. No indeed.

00:25:43 #451 X newspaper men. I'm glad to hear it. I wouldn't want to hurt anybody's feeling.

00:25:49 #452 But don't bother about us. So I says to him all these newspaper guys

00:25:54 #453 they're just a lot of no good bum. When the more spine than a jackrabbit.

00:25:59 #454 And you couldn't get one of them to fight if you spit in his eye.

00:26:06 #455 As I was saying, Geek, you take the fine, upstanding type of thug that paddles dope to school children in penny-candy.

00:26:14 #456 Why once knew a newspaper guy that got drunk enough to talk nasty to a real man?

00:26:19 #457 There wasn't enough left of him to cremate decently.

00:26:23 #458 As I was saying when you were so politely interrupted, it's a shame to hang so many innocent murderers.

00:26:36 #459 Rep traps would be much cheaper, just so.

00:26:41 #460 You know, I very recently heard of the sad case of two benevolent and persecuted hop slingers

00:26:47 #461 who were punished by being put in a barrel with a skunk.

00:26:51 #462 Fortunately, the scum died.

00:26:54 #463 He was probably boy to death by their rep right here.

00:27:00 #464 Well, well...

00:27:02 #465 This is an unexpected pleasure.

00:27:05 #466 Well, it isn't our genial host.

00:27:09 #467 Next to my respectable restaurant?

00:27:11 #468 Of course not.

00:27:12 #469 Speakeasy's take root in Strangely.

00:27:14 #470 That isn't why I came to see you.

00:27:17 #471 I suppose you wish to discuss your favorite topic.

00:27:19 #472 Narcotics?

00:27:20 #473 a credit. I'm afraid our friendly little war is over.

00:27:26 #474 You just made what happened I'm celebrating my dismissal from the ancient and

00:27:31 #475 honorable institution of Muck's. Needly delay the celebration and

00:27:36 #476 pleasure I'm sorry Pete some of our very best I thought maybe you'd heard Joe I'm

00:27:46 #477 surprised I heard you were such a good news paper man to I knew too much there

00:27:53 #478 was beginning to hurt advertising. You know you make a great publicity man for

00:27:58 #479 restaurants and. The whole. Well that's a very nice offer Joe but I'm taking a seat

00:28:07 #480 to drown the troubles I miss you. Too bad to interrupt our little war we were

00:28:14 #481 having such a good time. I believe you had your way you make a criminal out of

00:28:20 #482 me in no time. In another couple of days I had the good

00:28:25 #483 money Joe really what a pity to lose your job on a

00:28:30 #484 threshold of success that pretty girls confession would

00:28:34 #485 have been a sensation what was the name for ready Rose

00:28:46 #486 ready you know. I believe I did read something about that

00:28:52 #487 in the paper. You're not trying to connect me with that to.

00:29:00 #488 You should have read the confession I got from it this morning.

00:29:03 #489 But I handed you a great kick. Have you got it with you.

00:29:11 #490 No. I left in our no man at his desk.

00:29:15 #491 All but don't worry about it Joe he won't know what it is if he sees it

00:29:19 #492 he'll probably throw it in the wastebasket.

00:29:21 #493 It's a shame to throw one of your romances in the wastebasket

00:29:24 #494 well it's his own fault you shouldn't have can make

00:29:27 #495 Well, I've got to go down and get my passports.

00:29:29 #496 Well, how about a little farewell drink with an old enemy?

00:29:34 #497 Well, if you don't mind, Joe, I think I'll have some of my own.

00:29:38 #498 I can't handle that pre-war stuff of yours.

00:29:41 #499 Happy days.

00:29:48 #500 I'll send you a postcard from China.

00:29:55 #501 Over the river.

00:29:56 #502 Aren't you going to help me pack, Duke?

00:30:01 #503 I want to take just one sack of a little large bottle, all right.

00:30:05 #504 Oh, that's all right.

00:30:06 #505 I don't like that guy's looks.

00:30:08 #506 You know any more smartcracks?

00:30:10 #507 Are you gonna let him walk out after what he said about that for ready confession?

00:30:15 #508 He never got any confession.

00:30:17 #509 He was just bluffing.

00:30:18 #510 Oh, yeah?

00:30:20 #511 I guess they're getting out by their tennis sticks.

00:30:23 #512 Don't tell me I can look by way for a while, Bards.

00:30:29 #513 Hey, do you notice anything funny?

00:30:32 #514 You mean no stoopums?

00:30:34 #515 You see Reno's face when he's in the car.

00:30:37 #516 think funny. You see Reno space when I mentioned that pretty confession. He's

00:30:46 #517 worried. He thinks I got a statement from the pretty girl involving him.

00:30:54 #518 And I'm going to get it. Break a leg trying. See you later. You don't bump that

00:31:04 #519 gal pretty soon. I'm going to do it for you. Why be rough when you don't have to.

00:31:09 #520 I know. Your grandmother's gonna get you into a lot of trouble someday.

00:31:13 #521 Supposing this Paredi Dame did make a squawk. What then?

00:31:17 #522 How can she? I've got a fix so she can't see anyone at the jail.

00:31:21 #523 Except as they let her out. Then we'll send her on a little trip.

00:31:26 #524 The listing blows over.

00:31:28 #525 Hello? Hello, Steven? When?

00:31:41 #526 This morning? What time?

00:31:45 #527 Why didn't you do something about it?

00:31:47 #528 You're a fine shite lawyer.

00:31:49 #529 Where did she go?

00:31:50 #530 What's up?

00:31:51 #531 She met Peretia off this morning.

00:31:56 #532 The first Kate.

00:31:57 #533 Where is she now?

00:31:59 #534 You find her and keep her quiet.

00:32:01 #535 If I get back, if she's done any squawking, you know what to do.

00:32:05 #536 Where is her?

00:32:06 #537 I'm going to call her Miss Bird Addison.

00:32:09 #538 Just in Kate.

00:32:10 #539 Well, what about this guy, Banks?

00:32:11 #540 Get a hold of him.

00:32:13 #541 And use your own judgment.

00:32:14 #542 Oh, Shockey, meet me in front of the express office.

00:32:17 #543 in front of the express office.

00:32:18 #544 Yes, sir.

00:32:19 #545 That guy and his grandmother make me sick.

00:32:21 #546 Let's go.

00:32:22 #547 I'm going to get the brown birdie.

00:32:36 #548 What is it?

00:32:37 #549 Husband's raised love-neck.

00:32:39 #550 Find mate with strange birds.

00:32:42 #551 Ha!

00:32:44 #552 Well, read it.

00:32:45 #553 What was going on?

00:32:47 #554 Why must one be born so young?

00:32:51 #555 Why, the lovebirds were sitting on the piano

00:32:53 #556 cooing hymns to each other.

00:32:56 #557 Doesn't that make a cute picture?

00:32:58 #558 Oh, quit kidding. What happened? Did the husband shoot the other guy?

00:33:02 #559 Of course not. What a horrible idea.

00:33:06 #560 He joined in the chorus, and after a hearty lunch of birdseed,

00:33:11 #561 they all flew away to never, never land.

00:33:15 #562 You're free to do so.

00:33:16 #563 Miss Moussou! Miss Moussou! Miss!

00:33:19 #564 Hey, are you still working here?

00:33:21 #565 One never knows. From day to day.

00:33:24 #566 I'm not going to be a guy on my time.

00:33:26 #567 You're going to take right there.

00:33:27 #568 Why don't you write on it?

00:33:28 #569 What do you think this is?

00:33:29 #570 This is a newspaper office.

00:33:30 #571 It's on the front of the house.

00:33:32 #572 You got my brother up and came here tonight?

00:33:33 #573 I was just going, sir.

00:33:34 #574 Well, hurry up.

00:33:35 #575 What are you trying to do?

00:33:36 #576 You're going to do this?

00:33:37 #577 Mr. Adity.

00:33:38 #578 Oh, Mr. Adity.

00:33:39 #579 Well, what do you want?

00:33:40 #580 I don't know.

00:33:41 #581 What do you want?

00:33:42 #582 I'm busy.

00:33:43 #583 You got a few minutes to spare?

00:33:44 #584 No, I'm busy.

00:33:45 #585 I'm busy.

00:33:54 #586 I'm not made of minutes.

00:33:55 #587 Well, this is very important.

00:33:57 #588 One of our big advertisers is very anxious to meet you.

00:33:59 #589 Say, I'm not entertaining advertisers.

00:34:01 #590 I'm running the newspaper.

00:34:02 #591 The first thing I know, you'll want me to be given keys.

00:34:04 #592 Yes, a good man here.

00:34:05 #593 On heels. On heels.

00:34:07 #594 Say, look at here.

00:34:08 #595 Bring them in tomorrow or next week or next month or next year.

00:34:11 #596 Yes, I'm busy.

00:34:12 #597 Say, what's the matter with this paper?

00:34:14 #598 Why were you late with that Mahoney story?

00:34:16 #599 Well, sir, we're a little shorthanded today.

00:34:18 #600 Short-winded? Who's short-winded?

00:34:20 #601 I said we're shorthanded.

00:34:22 #602 Oh, oh, banks, I don't suppose we can run a paper without banks.

00:34:29 #603 Is that it?

00:34:30 #604 Call me an old flat doodle, did he?

00:34:32 #605 Well, he can't run me.

00:34:34 #606 I want him kept out of this office.

00:34:35 #607 I've already given orders, sir. Orders?

00:34:37 #608 You don't have to give any orders.

00:34:39 #609 I'll give the orders around here.

00:34:40 #610 He can't scare me.

00:34:42 #611 When I get too old to fight my own battles,

00:34:44 #612 I'll roll over and die, dog. Got it?

00:34:46 #613 No.

00:34:49 #614 Lovely disposition.

00:34:51 #615 Well, that's that.

00:34:58 #616 Did you arrange it?

00:35:00 #617 Oh, yes, yes.

00:35:02 #618 He's very anxious to meet you.

00:35:04 #619 Well, that's fine.

00:35:05 #620 Shall we go right in?

00:35:06 #621 Oh, uh, just a few minutes.

00:35:08 #622 You see, uh, you see, she's rather hard to get at.

00:35:13 #623 Oh, I see.

00:35:15 #624 Well, I thought that being a big advertiser is a bit...

00:35:17 #625 Oh, of course, of course.

00:35:19 #626 He's very anxious to meet you, but, uh...

00:35:23 #627 I think someday, next week, it'll be better.

00:35:25 #628 Well, I'm unusually anxious to meet him today.

00:35:28 #629 I don't get down this way often.

00:35:29 #630 Oh, I understand perfectly.

00:35:31 #631 I was going to see him again in a few minutes.

00:35:33 #632 Now, in the meantime, let us talk over

00:35:36 #633 your new advertising campaign, eh?

00:35:38 #634 Oh, yes.

00:35:39 #635 Now, as I understand it, you want a full page on standards.

00:35:47 #636 Yes, yes, to be sure.

00:35:49 #637 That's fine.

00:35:50 #638 Now, the heading of read,

00:35:53 #639 Reno's restaurant incorporated.

00:35:57 #640 All the food that fit to eat.

00:36:02 #641 Now we can run this in bold type and close it in a very nice border.

00:36:08 #642 Of course you'll want a border, won't you?

00:36:10 #643 Yes, of course. We should have a border.

00:36:13 #644 Get this out right away and I'll have to see the old man

00:36:15 #645 as to whether he wants a two or three column spread right out.

00:36:19 #646 Hello, Marty.

00:36:20 #647 Hello. Thank you.

00:36:25 #648 You have a web to why I can come in.

00:36:39 #652 I hope nothing happened to me. Well not as serious as that.

00:36:42 #653 He just put the newspaper business again for a change.

00:36:45 #654 They forgot to say you know you're a genius of this sort of thing

00:36:48 #655 a very long time.

00:36:52 #656 Hello.

00:36:57 #657 That's what speaking.

00:37:00 #658 Press room.

00:37:02 #659 They want the idea of ringing me on an outside phone.

00:37:05 #660 I've got our office phone for.

00:37:07 #661 Hello.

00:37:12 #662 Why did they call me on an outside wire.

00:37:15 #663 But it is hard isn't it.

00:37:17 #664 Well the office phone will be out of order.

00:37:19 #665 Oh.

00:37:20 #666 Just run your eye over that.

00:37:21 #667 I'll be back in a few minutes.

00:37:23 #669 a man don't hurry I got about the time. So last night.

00:38:00 #670 I got it even I had a part sure I see your side of it.

00:38:05 #671 Naturally and it's very much to me as though it's even

00:38:07 #672 a pair anymore. I think you're doing the right thing.

00:38:13 #673 You don't think maybe I'm a little hateful not at all I think

00:38:16 #674 you were a glutton for punishment. I wouldn't hurt the world.

00:38:21 #675 You know where I can find him?

00:38:23 #676 He moves around too fast for me.

00:38:25 #677 You might as well try to find the lost car.

00:38:29 #678 Steve!

00:38:31 #679 What the...

00:38:32 #680 Oh, hello, Marge.

00:38:33 #681 I didn't expect to see you here.

00:38:39 #682 I came because I brought the suitcase.

00:38:42 #683 Oh, thanks.

00:38:43 #684 Good all.

00:38:44 #685 So, is that pluslized old bad-bone in his office?

00:38:47 #686 No, don't go in there, Steve. Where did you cool off?

00:38:49 #687 I want to see this baby while I'm red-hot.

00:38:51 #688 Steve, you've been drinking.

00:38:53 #689 See, you've been drinking.

00:38:55 #690 Please be careful.

00:38:57 #691 Well, what's that to you?

00:38:58 #692 We're all washed up on wind.

00:39:00 #693 Well, see, don't be a stat. Give me a chance.

00:39:02 #694 Hey, who's doing all the yelling out here?

00:39:05 #695 So, dog, I'll give y'all back to you.

00:39:07 #696 Are you having a happy return?

00:39:08 #697 See?

00:39:09 #698 You're a drunk.

00:39:11 #699 You'll think I'm drunk when the time will get through.

00:39:13 #700 You're getting into that office.

00:39:14 #701 So I'm a fun reporter, am I?

00:39:16 #702 You can't hear me.

00:39:17 #703 I'm a rotten newspaper man, am I?

00:39:19 #704 You can't work here anymore.

00:39:20 #705 Who wants to work in this dump?

00:39:21 #706 I got a story here that's gonna turn this town upside down.

00:39:24 #707 Ah, you haven't got any story to drunk again.

00:39:27 #708 Yeah, punch drunk. I met a couple of Reno's men outside.

00:39:30 #709 Say, you can pick them all alibis in any sauce I ever made.

00:39:33 #710 Yeah, well, what do you think about this, dog, Garnier? What is it?

00:39:36 #711 It's a confession from Rose Peretti.

00:39:38 #712 A confession?

00:39:39 #713 A confession? Where'd you get it?

00:39:41 #714 Oh, who wrote this? Who should it be?

00:39:43 #715 Well, what do you know?

00:39:44 #716 The story there that'll make your hair curl.

00:39:46 #717 It involves Reno and his whole rotten gang.

00:39:49 #718 And it doesn't stop there, either.

00:39:50 #719 Oh, what a story, what a story!

00:39:53 #720 Banks, all the studio had it in here.

00:39:55 #721 Wait till I publish this.

00:39:57 #722 Yeah, now get it published.

00:39:58 #723 Oh, now, Banks, don't talk like that.

00:40:00 #724 I'm not working for you anymore, you fired me.

00:40:03 #725 Now give me an extra question, dog,

00:40:04 #726 I've got you before I lose myself.

00:40:05 #727 You try and get it, I scooped the whole town

00:40:07 #728 on this story on my own time.

00:40:08 #729 And I'm gonna have it published too.

00:40:10 #730 But not on your punk sheet,

00:40:11 #731 I'm gonna sell this to a decent newspaper.

00:40:13 #732 Hey, Steve, wait a minute.

00:40:15 #733 Hey, look here.

00:40:16 #734 Look, wait a minute, I'm gonna give you a $10 raise.

00:40:18 #735 I'll make an all-rounder cashier right now.

00:40:20 #736 Make it a twenty five.

00:40:22 #737 Hey, Doug, on you, you ruined me.

00:40:24 #738 I'm not made of money.

00:40:25 #739 All right, I'll see you later. I'm running right over to Harold.

00:40:27 #740 Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Don't go.

00:40:30 #741 Don't go. I'll give him.

00:40:31 #742 But it's a dog gone out, Ray.

00:40:35 #743 There.

00:40:35 #744 I'll give you that confession.

00:40:36 #745 I suppose I'm still a swamp newspaper man.

00:40:39 #746 Who said you were?

00:40:39 #747 I did, but you're going to take it back right now.

00:40:41 #748 You're the best newspaper man in this town.

00:40:44 #749 The trouble with me is I talk to you very much.

00:40:46 #750 Now, give me that confession.

00:40:47 #751 Well, it's all right this time,

00:40:48 #752 but don't you ever let it happen again.

00:40:49 #753 No, here, Steve, go out and get this up a clean shirt.

00:40:51 #754 You look like a bum. And hurry on back.

00:40:53 #755 We got a lot of work to do.

00:40:55 #756 I think I'll go out this other way.

00:40:56 #757 Those thugs of Reno's might still feel playful.

00:41:00 #758 Hey, another thing.

00:41:01 #759 Don't you get drunk?

00:41:03 #760 No, not too drunk.

00:41:04 #761 If you come back here, drunk, you're fired.

00:41:06 #762 Hello?

00:41:08 #763 Yes, a confession of a trendy girl

00:41:12 #764 exposed his big dope ring.

00:41:14 #765 Hey, Steve!

00:41:16 #766 Say, what's the district attorney's number?

00:41:17 #767 MSTD 3000.

00:41:18 #768 All right, get out of here.

00:41:20 #769 Hello, Hampton, please, out of them.

00:41:22 #770 Yeah, hurry, hurry.

00:41:25 #771 Hello, honey.

00:41:27 #772 Well, are they still at it?

00:41:29 #773 He's been in there a long time.

00:41:30 #774 You think everything's all right?

00:41:32 #775 Well, they're quite yelling at each other.

00:41:33 #776 That's something.

00:41:36 #777 I never saw thieves so violent.

00:41:38 #778 And I feel maybe that I'm responsible.

00:41:40 #779 Oh, he'll be all right as soon as he

00:41:41 #780 gets it out of his system.

00:41:43 #781 The two quiet old of sudden, excuse me.

00:41:47 #782 You just put your head in the door.

00:41:50 #783 Not me, ladies. Not me.

00:41:53 #784 I know those birds too well interfere in their family quarrels.

00:41:56 #785 They have these fights about twice a week just to prove they're not effeminate.

00:42:00 #786 But they always wind up in each other's arms singing Mother McCree.

00:42:04 #787 Even so, I can't help worrying about Steve.

00:42:07 #788 He's such a kid.

00:42:09 #789 You know, Margie, I think you were missed cast.

00:42:13 #790 You should have been his mother.

00:42:15 #791 So soon well I've been all over this building trying to find out who called me

00:42:29 #792 on the phone nobody seems to know anything about it probably someone just kidding

00:42:48 #795 thing happened this fellow banked is quite a practical Joker isn't it worse

00:42:54 #796 than that why oh no reason I just thought perhaps he might have called you on the phone

00:43:00 #797 I saw him come out of Addison's office just before you returned I can't imagine

00:43:05 #798 him being in there I assure you he was fired this morning they were having a

00:43:09 #799 violent argument and banged you the lot of cuss words was very threatening but he's

00:43:50 #807 business big boy I found both

00:43:53 #808 If you don't keep them prints of pushes as yours under control, I'm going to start something.

00:44:01 #809 What's the matter?

00:44:02 #810 Look at that.

00:44:07 #811 Is that funny?

00:44:08 #812 What do you call that?

00:44:12 #813 It's concrete.

00:44:14 #814 Shut up.

00:44:17 #815 This knife came from one of those windows and hit me right on the comp.

00:44:21 #816 Did it bend the blade?

00:44:24 #817 Did she do it?

00:44:26 #818 Not me. I always get my man.

00:44:30 #819 Some day.

00:44:32 #820 And listen, Iris, I'm a cop. I ain't no childist.

00:44:36 #821 Let me see that knife. That's funny to see the knife.

00:44:42 #822 So that's how it was, eh? Where is he?

00:44:46 #823 He's in size, but he wouldn't throw a knife at you, Ryne.

00:44:50 #824 No, yet Calvary jumped out the window.

00:44:56 #825 Well, I'll wait for him. And you'd better get prepared to be a widow.

00:45:00 #826 Fun is fun and all that.

00:45:03 #827 Just kidding and calling me names is bad enough.

00:45:05 #828 But when it comes to throwing knives at offices,

00:45:08 #829 that ain't gonna be funny this season.

00:45:11 #830 You know I've been on this for 25 years.

00:45:14 #831 Ah!

00:45:15 #832 Faster, Jack.

00:45:19 #833 Want your painted?

00:45:20 #834 Yeah, get it over to the window.

00:45:21 #835 I got it.

00:45:22 #836 Get back, have a glass of water.

00:45:23 #837 The room's full of guys.

00:45:24 #838 Open up, everyone.

00:45:25 #839 What else is there to do?

00:45:26 #840 Get out!

00:45:29 #841 Sounds like a woman's voice.

00:45:31 #842 Open that window! Quick!

00:45:35 #843 Something must have happened. I'll be back in a few minutes.

00:45:38 #844 Go through the bar, get out of the way, fellas. Open up those windows.

00:45:45 #845 How is it? Is his heart beating?

00:45:48 #846 He's gone all right. The gas didn't mean he's dead.

00:45:53 #847 He's gone.

00:46:03 #848 He's gone all right.

00:46:04 #849 The gas didn't mean he's dead.

00:46:08 #850 He's dead all right.

00:46:09 #851 Somebody stand for the car now.

00:46:10 #852 Hurry up on your body.

00:46:11 #853 Oh, yeah, quick.

00:46:12 #854 This looks serious.

00:46:20 #855 This ain't no place for you, Mr. Bank.

00:46:22 #856 He's gone all right, boys.

00:46:28 #857 Well, what are you all standing around here for?

00:46:30 #858 You know, we've got a newspaper to get out.

00:46:31 #859 Let's have a story.

00:46:32 #860 Huffman, somebody's civic activity.

00:46:34 #861 By the way, you take his home line.

00:46:36 #862 Write it up well.

00:46:36 #863 Take the newspaper end of it, you.

00:46:38 #864 Come on here. Let's get to work.

00:46:39 #865 Anybody think you were sleeping up here?

00:46:42 #866 Come on now.

00:46:46 #867 I don't understand how this gas will up with them winders.

00:46:50 #868 Needed a lie.

00:46:54 #869 Wait a minute. Come here, Ryan.

00:46:59 #870 Why, this wasn't a accident.

00:47:02 #871 The old man has been murdered.

00:47:03 #872 Murdered? That too has been cut.

00:47:05 #873 What makes you think he was murdered?

00:47:10 #874 He's been cut all right, seen through, and with us...

00:47:14 #875 to the knife.

00:47:15 #876 He wasn't cut with a knife. It's why it's all rotten.

00:47:18 #877 It must have come loose.

00:47:20 #878 So that's where the knife came from.

00:47:26 #879 Sorry, Mrs. Banks, what I've got to do my duty.

00:47:29 #880 I've got to...

00:47:33 #881 Brace up the kid.

00:47:35 #882 Hello, Joe, Ryan.

00:47:37 #883 Hey, get a hold of Steve Banks.

00:47:39 #884 Newspaper reports.

00:47:40 #885 They're all the boys' norms.

00:47:42 #886 Don't let him get away. He's wanted for murder.

00:47:45 #887 Oh, he didn't do it.

00:47:47 #888 I'm not even gonna do it.

00:47:48 #889 He's a stupid kid.

00:47:49 #890 I don't.

00:47:53 #891 Oh, this is terrible.

00:47:54 #892 He's been murdered.

00:47:56 #893 Murdered?

00:47:58 #894 Do they suspect anyone?

00:47:59 #895 Thanks, of course.

00:48:00 #896 They cut the gas tube.

00:48:01 #897 you they're looking for him now. Hello hello give me the more.

00:48:07 #898 Well I don't want to say don't let anyone leave this building until the corner gets

00:48:11 #899 here. Okay. Call me soon again. Really I can't afford to get mixed up in this I

00:48:28 #900 suppose it's all right if I leave. Suddenly no doubt that once you testimony

00:48:32 #901 the trial I can always be reached. The elevators are down this way.

00:48:45 #902 You ain't going to use them. Why not? Nobody leaves the building until further order.

00:48:50 #903 I'm about for him officer. About your head off nobody leaves the building.

00:48:58 #904 I understand. Just a matter of form.

00:49:03 #905 What's up and I'll give you a good second to know.

00:49:05 #906 Oh shut up. Idiot Doug. I caught him sneaking out of a barber shop.

00:49:12 #907 Hey, flat foot.

00:49:13 #908 Man, I gotta get his hair cut in this town

00:49:15 #909 without having a spine you ain't loose

00:49:17 #910 by one of your big beef wrestlers.

00:49:18 #911 The next haircut you get won't cost you a cent.

00:49:22 #912 Oh, that's the idea of the bulls.

00:49:25 #913 Oh, what's happened, Doc?

00:49:26 #914 What's up?

00:49:29 #915 Oh, not from Margie. Nothing's happened.

00:49:30 #916 It's gone.

00:49:31 #917 Quit kidding. Let me in on this.

00:49:33 #918 Oh, you don't remember nothing, eh?

00:49:36 #919 I suppose it's that bomb-bulls you've invented.

00:49:43 #920 Maybe this will refresh your memory.

00:49:48 #921 The old man. He ain't dead, is he?

00:49:53 #922 He's dead all right.

00:49:56 #923 Well, he left them just a little while ago.

00:50:01 #924 Well, that's the way he wanted to go.

00:50:03 #925 With his boots done.

00:50:04 #926 Why did you kill him?

00:50:07 #927 He wasn't murdered, was he?

00:50:09 #928 Oh, I thought he wanted to croak the old man.

00:50:13 #929 We don't think I did it, do you?

00:50:14 #930 Are you gonna complain?

00:50:15 #931 Don't talk, Steve. They don't know a thing.

00:50:18 #932 Margie.

00:50:22 #933 You don't think so, too. Margie.

00:50:26 #934 You couldn't hurt anybody, Steve.

00:50:31 #935 You couldn't have applied me.

00:50:45 #936 This is not very good for me.

00:51:01 #937 All right, I'm ready to talk.

00:51:04 #938 I'd like to talk to you.

00:51:07 #939 All right, get inside.

00:51:10 #940 Take care of what this door.

00:51:11 #941 You take care of all of them.

00:51:13 #942 Okay.

00:51:17 #943 Hey, quit that racket.

00:51:18 #944 How can I have a racket?

00:51:20 #945 Have you gone through his death?

00:51:21 #946 Maybe he's got some guns or something around here.

00:51:24 #947 Oh shut up.

00:51:27 #948 Right over there.

00:51:31 #949 Oh here's someone now.

00:51:32 #950 Where's the officer in charge here?

00:51:34 #951 He's inside.

00:51:35 #952 Are you from the district attorney's office?

00:51:37 #953 Well the district attorney couldn't come himself.

00:51:39 #954 Tell me, my name?

00:51:41 #955 Force Deputy.

00:51:42 #956 Yes, Mr. Belt.

00:51:43 #957 How long ago was the body discovered?

00:51:45 #958 Half an hour.

00:51:47 #959 That's strange.

00:51:49 #960 Why had us on telephone the officer half hour ago?

00:51:51 #961 that he had an important message for the district attorney.

00:51:55 #962 Did you discover the body?

00:51:56 #963 Me? Why, no, I... Who did?

00:51:58 #964 The secretary.

00:51:59 #965 And where is he?

00:52:00 #966 She's here, she's stated. Stated?

00:52:02 #967 Well, hold her.

00:52:03 #968 The gentleman I office has some very important testimony.

00:52:05 #969 Well, hold him.

00:52:07 #970 Has the coroner arrived yet?

00:52:08 #971 Well, here he is now. Oh, uh...

00:52:10 #972 I'm in charge here.

00:52:11 #973 The body is just inside.

00:52:13 #974 Well, I do look...

00:52:14 #975 Oh, Ryan?

00:52:15 #976 Oh, are you, uh, of some of Ryan?

00:52:18 #977 Ryan, who are you?

00:52:20 #978 Help the District Attorney's office.

00:52:22 #979 This is a very important case. You'd better stand for the District Attorney.

00:52:25 #980 I'm in charge here.

00:52:26 #981 Have you any suspects?

00:52:29 #982 Kent, is he under arrest?

00:52:32 #983 Not yet. I've been doing a little investigating.

00:52:33 #984 Well, I'll do the investigating.

00:52:35 #985 You've got to be charged with something, ain't he?

00:52:37 #986 He's charged with the murder of Mr. Adams.

00:52:39 #987 I'll do the charging.

00:52:40 #988 Detain him as a material witness. You're detained.

00:52:43 #989 No, I'm here.

00:52:44 #990 Guard him carefully and see that no one leaves this building.

00:52:47 #991 You keep out of this.

00:52:49 #992 You're getting in trouble.

00:52:51 #993 Maybe you are in trouble.

00:52:53 #994 Don't use it.

00:52:55 #995 What do you care?

00:52:57 #996 You're all true with me.

00:52:59 #997 You don't understand.

00:53:01 #998 I only want to help you.

00:53:03 #999 Don't you understand?

00:53:05 #1000 I love you.

00:53:07 #1001 You mean that?

00:53:09 #1002 No, I must talk to the president.

00:53:11 #1003 President must be held in Communicado.

00:53:13 #1004 In where?

00:53:17 #1005 He mustn't talk to anyone.

00:53:19 #1006 Oh, he said it's madame, you're not to leave the building.

00:53:22 #1007 Okay, just let me handle it.

00:53:23 #1008 Good job.

00:53:24 #1009 He died of asphyxiation.

00:53:26 #1010 The gas tube was cut with a pair of scissors.

00:53:28 #1011 Any other evidence?

00:53:30 #1012 There's a knife coming throughout the window.

00:53:33 #1013 The gas tube was cut with this knife.

00:53:36 #1014 Is this your knife?

00:53:37 #1015 Yes, it is, but never mind.

00:53:38 #1016 Just one thing I'd like to know.

00:53:40 #1017 Anything you say, maybe used against you.

00:53:42 #1018 Who's in that room with the old man after I locked it?

00:53:44 #1019 You're the last to leave that office, Bank. You know it.

00:53:46 #1020 We have a witness here to prove it.

00:53:47 #1021 A witness?

00:53:50 #1022 Bring the witness in.

00:54:03 #1023 Bank, you're charged with a deathly crime.

00:54:05 #1024 Are you ready to make a statement?

00:54:06 #1025 Yes, you've done it.

00:54:07 #1026 What?

00:54:08 #1027 Well, I may make a statement later.

00:54:11 #1028 Thanks to warn you, the evidence is against you.

00:54:14 #1029 Unatorious for getting you to drunken brawls

00:54:16 #1030 and abusing people while under the influence of intoxicating beverages.

00:54:19 #1031 Now, we're having a trial right here.

00:54:20 #1032 Is this just a rehearsal?

00:54:21 #1033 You were discharged by the dead man this morning.

00:54:23 #1034 Came back here to his office, picking revenge.

00:54:25 #1035 You threatened him. There was a struggle.

00:54:27 #1036 The old man was stuck to the floor and as he lay there,

00:54:29 #1037 gasping for breath, you cut the gas tube with a thin knife,

00:54:32 #1038 threw the knife out of the window and attempted to escape.

00:54:34 #1039 Sir, you have any right to talk to him?

00:54:36 #1040 Am I warn you?

00:54:37 #1041 I'm not afraid of you.

00:54:38 #1042 You have no right to accuse him of something he didn't do.

00:54:40 #1043 The gas tube was cut all right.

00:54:42 #1044 I guess I ought to know. I cut it myself.

00:54:45 #1045 Marge, she didn't do anything of the kind.

00:54:47 #1046 She's saying that to protect me.

00:54:48 #1047 Just a minute.

00:54:49 #1048 the minute you're not going to have to pay any attention I know what I did keep

00:54:53 #1049 out of this much I know what I'm doing why did you put that gas to you I'll tell

00:54:57 #1050 you why I'm so right away to Mr. Radisson's and I'd have hard time you're

00:55:01 #1051 a company I reached down the subject after me because because I thought I'd make

00:55:05 #1052 a sensational story for my paper she's not telling him truth I am I know what I

00:55:09 #1053 did back then I told you as an accessory after the fact that the seas

00:55:15 #1054 could not die of a situation.

00:55:18 #1055 He died of a blow on the head.

00:55:23 #1056 Hold that for evidence that may have fingerprints on it.

00:55:26 #1057 Right in here, please.

00:55:34 #1058 That's all I wanted to know.

00:55:37 #1059 There's your witness, Mr. Phelps.

00:55:40 #1060 Would you mind stepping this way a minute?

00:55:44 #1061 Certainly not.

00:55:48 #1062 Well, well, Joe, I knew you'd been here,

00:55:50 #1063 but I thought you'd made your getaway.

00:55:52 #1064 I warn you, this is a serious matter for you.

00:55:54 #1065 It was serious until the mastermind dropped in.

00:55:56 #1066 Why, yes.

00:55:57 #1067 This isn't the first time he's abused, Mr. Reno.

00:55:59 #1068 No, and it won't be the last, Mr. Phelps.

00:56:01 #1069 I'm ready to make you a statement,

00:56:02 #1070 but I want to write it out in my own way.

00:56:04 #1071 What, Jim?

00:56:05 #1072 I don't want any tricks.

00:56:07 #1073 Don't start anything. Not much.

00:56:09 #1074 It's, uh, Reno.

00:56:12 #1075 Where did you first come in contact with the prisoner?

00:56:16 #1076 I'd rather not say.

00:56:17 #1077 Well, go ahead and tell him, Joe.

00:56:18 #1078 I'll hand him over good work.

00:56:19 #1079 Quiet.

00:56:21 #1080 If you're guilty, Mr. Reno, is a citizen.

00:56:23 #1081 And what is it?

00:56:24 #1082 Quiet.

00:56:25 #1083 Go on.

00:56:26 #1084 I first met this person when he came in my restaurant.

00:56:29 #1085 Speak easy, Joe.

00:56:31 #1086 He was always drunk and always abusive.

00:56:33 #1087 And some of my customers had come to consider him mentally unbalanced.

00:56:37 #1088 That's the first true thing you've said so far.

00:56:39 #1089 That's important.

00:56:41 #1090 You, uh, you say the business showed signs of insanity?

00:56:45 #1091 Well, it has to be not state and Reno's restaurant.

00:56:47 #1092 Keep the... keep the business quiet.

00:56:49 #1093 Shut up.

00:56:50 #1094 Sure. Did I cut the gas pipe first, Joe?

00:56:52 #1095 Quiet.

00:56:54 #1096 Well, this afternoon I called up my friend Mr. Hentl

00:56:57 #1097 to discuss some advertising.

00:56:59 #1098 That's right.

00:57:00 #1099 Through the door of Addison's office,

00:57:02 #1100 I heard banks threaten Mr. Addison.

00:57:06 #1101 This was followed by sound with a scuffle.

00:57:08 #1102 Soon banks emerged from the office,

00:57:10 #1103 threw something out of the hall window,

00:57:12 #1104 and hurriedly left the building.

00:57:14 #1105 Wait a minute.

00:57:15 #1106 We're canceling the office, and why I'm...

00:57:17 #1107 Addigirl, Margie.

00:57:18 #1108 I'm conducting this investigation.

00:57:19 #1109 Were you at the time?

00:57:21 #1110 Were you in the office at the time?

00:57:24 #1111 I know.

00:57:25 #1112 You probably got a phone call.

00:57:27 #1113 Did you get a telephone call?

00:57:29 #1114 I'm surprised at you.

00:57:30 #1115 That telephone guy got whiskered.

00:57:31 #1116 I'm asking the question.

00:57:33 #1117 Did you get a telephone call?

00:57:37 #1118 Yes, I called into the press room.

00:57:39 #1119 While you were out of your office,

00:57:41 #1120 Reno slipped across the hall

00:57:42 #1121 and murdered the old man in cold blood.

00:57:45 #1122 I don't mind.

00:57:47 #1123 Is that a law you wish you did?

00:57:49 #1124 Yes, thank you for your testimony.

00:57:51 #1125 That'll be all.

00:57:52 #1126 Thank you.

00:57:53 #1127 Don't let the guy get away.

00:57:54 #1128 He won't stop until he reaches Siberia.

00:57:56 #1129 You can always reach me at this address, Mr. Belk.

00:57:59 #1130 Better stick around, Mr. Reno.

00:58:01 #1131 I am conducting this investigation, Sergeant.

00:58:03 #1132 You may go with me.

00:58:04 #1133 He can go if he likes, but I won't be responsible

00:58:07 #1134 if my cops get a little rough with him.

00:58:09 #1135 I'll stay, Mr. Belk.

00:58:11 #1136 If this pleases the officer.

00:58:13 #1137 Are you trying to make a fool of me in front of all these people?

00:58:16 #1138 I should say now, you're doing pretty well all by yourself.

00:58:20 #1139 I demand the arrest of the murder of Mr. Adams.

00:58:22 #1140 Mr. Pops, I said I was ready to make a statement, and here it is.

00:58:25 #1141 Here on. Get this on the press and ready to roll.

00:58:27 #1142 We ever got scooped on a murder in our own office. The old man would never forgive us.

00:58:31 #1143 What's on that paper?

00:58:32 #1144 I'll tell you what, Turner. It's a story of a rotten gang of dope toddlers

00:58:35 #1145 headed by Joe Reno. The tattoo's come by the top of my left.

00:58:38 #1146 That's the strong statement we've posted.

00:58:40 #1147 I don't mind.

00:58:41 #1148 I've been working on Joe for a long while.

00:58:43 #1149 The old man and I were going to spring in in today's edition.

00:58:45 #1150 We had a confession from Rose Peretti spilling Reno's beans.

00:58:48 #1151 Reno wanted that confession, and he murdered the old man to get it.

00:58:51 #1152 That tells the fabrication of a lunatic.

00:58:53 #1153 I'll tell you the support they taught you.

00:58:55 #1154 Where is this confession?

00:58:56 #1155 It was on Edison's desk, but Reno destroyed it, of course.

00:58:59 #1156 But the perennial will be here any minute now.

00:59:01 #1157 Maybe Joe would like to hear the story from her own lips.

00:59:03 #1158 Wait a minute.

00:59:04 #1159 I've got bad news.

00:59:06 #1160 Rose Peretti was found dead half an hour ago.

00:59:15 #1161 So, you covered that too, did you, Joe?

00:59:20 #1162 You're smarter than I thought you were.

00:59:22 #1163 What? Who is this perety girl?

00:59:24 #1164 Don't you read the peppers?

00:59:25 #1165 She was one of Joe's narcotic customers.

00:59:27 #1166 If this wasn't so tragic, it'd be amusing.

00:59:29 #1167 Just a minute, just a minute.

00:59:31 #1168 Who sent for this woman?

00:59:32 #1169 Really, it's why.

00:59:33 #1170 It's the 30th thing that keeps important evidence from the district attorney's office.

00:59:36 #1171 I could have told you what you wouldn't listen.

00:59:38 #1172 We know I'd like to ask you one question.

00:59:41 #1173 Did you know this perety girl?

00:59:44 #1174 If you have any doubt about my character, Mr. Felt,

00:59:47 #1175 I'd be very happy if you'd look into my record.

00:59:49 #1176 Spry it, Jake.

00:59:51 #1177 Here's a record of Mr. Reno that you might like to hear.

00:59:54 #1178 When Ryan and I went into Watterson's office,

00:59:56 #1179 the victim phone was still running.

00:59:58 #1180 Maybe there's something on that record that Joe would like to hear.

01:00:01 #1181 This has gone quite far enough.

01:00:03 #1182 I refuse to listen to any further accusations.

01:00:08 #1183 Excuse me. I'm sorry I lost my temper.

01:00:11 #1184 You bad boy, now you see what you've done?

01:00:13 #1185 You see what you've done. Of course there was nothing on the record. Of course not.

01:00:18 #1186 That one was a blank. We thought you might get clumsy Joe.

01:00:21 #1187 So we saved the real records and last. What.

01:00:26 #1188 You know. There's a whole lot on here that will be a bit.

01:00:30 #1189 Joe bring me that you be loud speaker.

01:00:43 #1190 It's so asphyxiation.

01:00:45 #1191 How do I know?

01:00:46 #1192 Who got addiction every time?

01:00:47 #1193 Well, you don't even get sorrow bars.

01:00:49 #1194 Hi, Mr. Phelps.

01:00:50 #1195 See if you can recognize this voice.

01:01:25 #1196 Hi, Mr. Phelps.

01:01:26 #1197 Why is there nothing intimidating here?

01:01:29 #1198 Brad, I demanded you a rest.

01:01:30 #1199 Wait a minute.

01:01:31 #1200 Listen.

01:01:32 #1201 Get out of here and close that door.

01:01:34 #1202 What do you mean?

01:01:35 #1203 Something is in my office right here.

01:01:36 #1204 I mean this.

01:01:38 #1205 Give me that paper.

01:01:54 #1206 That isn't my voice.

01:01:56 #1207 You're not going to frame me.

01:01:57 #1208 Hey, hey, hey, hey, come on, come on.

01:01:59 #1209 Come on, get away.

01:02:00 #1210 Come and get me.

01:02:01 #1211 I'm going to put a little bit of salt in the water.

01:02:05 #1212 I don't know, do you see me, ho?

01:02:07 #1213 Oh, I was so surprised.

01:02:09 #1214 I know what those were like, hearts before, no.

01:02:11 #1215 All right, you'll have to break my arms.

01:02:13 #1216 My goodness, he was on his way to Sunday school.

01:02:16 #1217 Take him away, Bill.

01:02:18 #1218 As long as I'll play, mate.

01:02:20 #1219 I'll see you in the electric chair.

01:02:22 #1220 You're a smart boy.

01:02:25 #1221 My grandmother would have liked you.

01:02:27 #1222 You never can tell.

01:02:28 #1223 My grandmother would have liked you.

01:02:30 #1224 You never can tell.

01:02:32 #1225 Well...

01:02:34 #1226 over the river.

01:02:36 #1227 Skip the gunner. Come on, let's go.

01:02:38 #1228 Steve, you're wonderful.

01:02:40 #1229 Not bad at that.

01:02:42 #1230 Been a great help to me in this case.

01:02:45 #1231 Oh, I suspect it, ma'am.

01:02:47 #1232 I knew a smart man like you would see through the whole thing.

01:02:51 #1233 I do?

01:02:52 #1234 No.

01:02:54 #1235 I'll probably have to have you transferred.

01:02:57 #1236 Don't take it so seriously. It was good practice, wasn't it?

01:03:04 #1237 Listen, give me a front-end spread on that.

01:03:05 #1238 Philip, we'll change your story around and suit the facts and make it snappy.

01:03:12 #1239 Say, will you quit digging up new facts I haven't had any lunch?

01:03:15 #1240 I'll send you in a bailer, hey.

01:03:20 #1241 City Desk, market bank-sticking. Hold on to that Edison story.

01:03:23 #1242 Where do you hear this one?

01:03:25 #1243 And listen, I want you to spell my name right.

01:03:29 #1244 If you doubt, I'm gonna make you eat all their macros one at a time.

01:03:35 #1245 Okay, Flatwood.

01:03:38 #1246 Someday.

01:03:48 #1247 Thanks. I'm sorry I misunderstood you.

01:03:51 #1248 Anything I can do for you?

01:03:54 #1249 Yes.

01:03:55 #1250 I heard.

01:03:58 #1251 Here.

01:04:00 #1252 Get this raise put through before I lose it.

01:04:04 #1253 Have a glass of water.

01:04:06 #1254 Sergeant, anything else I can do for you?

01:04:09 #1255 Yes, but I wouldn't ask you to do anything like that.

01:04:13 #1256 You're always kidding.

01:04:14 #1257 Yeah.

01:04:18 #1258 You must be exhausted.

01:04:22 #1259 You know, I don't feel so good.

01:04:28 #1260 I think I'll have a little shot.

01:04:36 #1261 Haven't got time.

01:04:37 #1262 Give me a minute.

01:04:57 #1263 Is that necessary?

01:04:58 #1264 A couple of shots yourself.

01:05:04 #1265 Why, Steve, it's Steve.

01:05:05 #1266 I can take it or leave it alone.

01:05:08 #1267 Gee, Steve, that's marvelous.

01:05:10 #1268 It wasn't bad after the first couple of times.

01:05:18 #1269 Well, as you did, I have to look at all of the fields.

01:05:24 #1270 Listen, I found a new joint where one may tip the boy's pole.

01:05:32 #1271 Well, I don't know, Dick. I, uh...

01:05:35 #1272 I mean I'd be able to join you.

01:05:37 #1273 There's a big plate of never-nigh-ins left over from Mal's night.

01:05:40 #1274 I'm waiting.

01:05:42 #1275 I'm not a bad cook, really.

01:05:44 #1276 I...it's something...

01:05:50 #1277 You get out of here!

01:05:53 #1278 What are you trying to do? Break up a man's home?

01:05:56 #1279 Home?

01:06:00 #1280 This place is...

01:06:02 #1281 And I'm just...

01:06:04 #1282 Where is...
