00:02:28 #1 Mr. Cannell, I can't afford to be without work right now, not even for a day.
00:02:33 #2 I have a mother and two kids, and two more good luck telegrams.
00:02:37 #3 You know how it is.

00:02:51 #9 I'll take $25, $20 if necessary. I'll do anything you say.
00:02:55 #10 It isn't the money. We're after circulation.
00:02:57 #11 What we need is fireworks.
00:02:58 #12 People are gonna hit with sledgehammers.
00:03:00 #13 Start arguments. Oh, I can do that.
00:03:01 #14 I know this town inside out.

00:03:42 #26 Yeah.
00:03:43 #27 You too?
00:03:47 #28 Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
00:03:49 #29 Why don't we tear the building down?
00:03:51 #30 Before you do, Anne, perhaps you'd better finish this column.
00:03:54 #31 I'm gonna lavender an old lace.
00:03:57 #32 Wait, Joe. Wait.
00:03:59 #33 What's fireworks, huh?
00:04:06 #34 Okay.
00:04:07 #35 The bow is a letter which reached my desk this morning.
00:04:29 #36 It's a commentary on what we laugh and make all the civilized world.
00:04:33 #37 Dear Miss Mitchell, four years ago I was fired out of my job.
00:04:37 #38 Since then I haven't been able to get another one.
00:04:39 #39 At first I was sore at the state administration
00:04:41 #40 because it's on account of the slimy politics here.
00:04:44 #41 We have all this unemployment.
00:04:47 #42 But in looking around, it seems the whole world's going to pot.
00:04:50 #43 So in protest, I'm going to commit suicide
00:04:52 #44 by jumping off the city hall roof,
00:04:54 #45 signed a disgusted American citizen, John Doe.
00:04:57 #46 Editor's note, if you ask this column,
00:05:00 #47 the wrong people are jumping off the roofs.
00:05:03 #48 Hey, and this is the old fake old roof, isn't it?
00:05:06 #49 Never mind that, Joe. Go ahead.
00:05:08 #50 And it's because of the slimy politics

00:07:50 #82 I've got everybody and his brother and sister out looking for them.
00:07:53 #83 Did you see the box I'm running? An appeal of John Doe.
00:07:58 #84 Think it over, John. Life can be beautiful, says Mayor.
00:08:02 #85 If you need a job, apply to the editor this paper,
00:08:04 #86 and so forth and so forth.
00:08:06 #87 Okay, Mayor, I'll let you know as soon as I have something.
00:08:08 #88 We'll pull down the blinds.
00:08:12 #89 Enough of this, Miss Mitchell's house law.
00:08:14 #90 Boy, she's in a bad way.
00:08:15 #91 Where is she?
00:08:16 #92 Hey, do you know something? She supports a mother and two kids.
00:08:18 #93 Why do you know about that?
00:08:19 #94 Did you find her?
00:08:20 #95 No. Her mother's awful worried about her
00:08:21 #96 when she left the house to touch
00:08:22 #97 who's going on a roar and drum.
00:08:24 #98 What the girl I mean.
00:08:25 #99 Go out and find her.
00:08:26 #100 Sure.
00:08:27 #101 Hey, but the biggest thing I didn't tell you.
00:08:28 #102 Her old man's Doc Mitchell.
00:08:30 #103 You know the doctor said my mother's life wouldn't take any money for it?
00:08:32 #104 You remember that.
00:08:33 #105 Okay, boss, I'll go and look for her.
00:08:39 #106 Police, Smokes Commission, you've had 24 hours.
00:08:42 #107 Okay, Hawkshaw, grab a pencil, here it is again.
00:08:47 #108 About five foot five, brown eyes, light chestnut hair,
00:08:52 #109 and a fine pair of legs is ever walked into this office.
00:09:00 #110 I do want to see me. No.
00:09:02 #111 I've had the whole Army and Navy out searching for you
00:09:04 #112 because that's a game we play here every day.
00:09:06 #113 I remember this thing being fired.
00:09:08 #114 That's right.
00:09:09 #115 But you have a piece of property that still belongs to this newspaper,
00:09:11 #116 and I'd like to have it. What's that? The letter. What letter?
00:09:14 #117 The letter from John Doe. Oh.
00:09:16 #118 The whole town's in an uproar. We've got to find him.
00:09:18 #119 The letter's the only clue. There is no letter.
00:09:21 #120 We'll get a handwriting expert to.
00:09:25 #121 There's no letter.
00:09:30 #122 Say that again. There's no letter.
00:09:31 #123 I made it up.
00:09:33 #124 You made it up? Mm-hmm.
00:09:34 #125 You said you wanted fireworks.
00:09:36 #126 Don't you know there are nine jobs waiting for this guy?
00:09:39 #127 22 families want to board him free?
00:09:41 #128 Five women want to marry him and a man's practically ready to adopt him.
00:09:45 #129 And you just call the morgue, boss.
00:09:47 #130 You said there's a girl there.
00:09:47 #131 Shut up. Say, why didn't you say...
00:09:51 #132 Hey, only one thing to do, Hank.
00:09:53 #133 Rout the whole business quickly. Ha! Run it, story.
00:09:56 #134 Say John Doe was in here and you're sorry he wrote the letter.
00:09:59 #135 That's right. They've got it. Sure.
00:10:00 #136 He came in here and I let him change his mind.
00:10:02 #137 What matter to say to John Doe's life?
00:10:04 #138 Well, it's perfect.
00:10:05 #139 I'll have Ned write it up.
00:10:06 #140 Oh, Ned, I got a story I want you to...
00:10:08 #141 Wait a minute.
00:10:10 #142 Listen, you great, big wonderful genius of a newspaper man.
00:10:13 #143 You came here to shoot some life into this dying paper, didn't you?
00:10:15 #144 Well, the whole town's curious about John Doe and boom,
00:10:18 #145 just like that you're going to bury him.
00:10:20 #146 There's enough circulation in that man
00:10:21 #147 to start a shortage in the ink market. And what man?
00:10:23 #148 John Doe.
00:10:24 #149 What John Doe?
00:10:25 #150 I John Doe, the one I made up.
00:10:28 #151 Look genius, now look.
00:10:30 #152 Suppose there was a John Doe and he walked into this office.
00:10:32 #153 What would you do?
00:10:33 #154 Find him a job and forget about the whole business,
00:10:35 #155 I suppose, huh?
00:10:36 #156 Not me.
00:10:37 #157 I'd make a deal with him. A deal?
00:10:39 #158 Sure, when you get hold of a stent that sells papers,
00:10:41 #159 You don't drop it like a hot potato.
00:10:43 #160 Well, this is good for at least a couple of months.
00:10:44 #161 You know what I'd do?
00:10:45 #162 Between now and let's say Christmas
00:10:47 #163 when he's gonna jump, I'd run a daily on.
00:10:49 #164 Starting with his boyhood, his schooling, his first job,
00:10:52 #165 a wide-eyed youngster facing a chaotic world,
00:10:54 #166 the problem of the average man
00:10:56 #167 of all the John Does in the world.
00:10:57 #168 Now, then comes the drama.
00:10:59 #169 He meets discouragement.
00:11:00 #170 He finds the world as feet of clay,
00:11:02 #171 his ideals promulgate, so what does he do?
00:11:04 #172 He decides to commit suicide and protest
00:11:06 #173 against the state of civilization.
00:11:07 #174 He thinks of the river, but no.
00:11:09 #175 No, he has a better idea.
00:11:10 #176 The city hall. Why? Because he wants to attract attention.
00:11:13 #177 He wants to get a few things off his chest,
00:11:15 #178 and that's the only way he can get himself hurt. So?
00:11:17 #179 So! So he writes me a letter, and I dig him up.
00:11:20 #180 He pours out his soul to me.
00:11:22 #181 And from now on, we quote, I protest by John Doe.
00:11:25 #182 He protests against all the evils in the world.
00:11:27 #183 The greed, the lust, the hate, the fear,
00:11:29 #184 all of man's inhumanity to man.
00:11:31 #185 Arguments will start.
00:11:32 #186 Should he commit suicide, or should he not?
00:11:34 #187 People will write in pleading with him, but no!
00:11:37 #188 No, sir. John Doe will remain adamant.
00:11:39 #189 on Christmas Eve, hot or cold, he goes.
00:11:42 #190 See?
00:11:45 #191 Very pretty.
00:11:46 #192 Very pretty indeed, Miss Mitchell.
00:11:48 #193 But would you mind telling me who goes on Christmas Eve? John Doe!
00:11:52 #194 What John Doe?
00:11:52 #195 The one we hire for the job, you lunkhead!
00:11:54 #196 Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:11:56 #197 Let me get this through this lame brain of mine.
00:11:58 #198 Are you suggesting we go out and hire someone
00:12:00 #199 to say he's gonna commit suicide on Christmas Eve? Is that it?
00:12:02 #200 Well, you're catching on. Who, for instance?
00:12:04 #201 Anybody!
00:12:05 #202 Me, Neil Doe!
00:12:06 #203 Why, sure.
00:12:08 #204 Who, me?
00:12:09 #205 Jump off a...
00:12:09 #206 Oh, anytime at Christmas, I'm still a prestation.
00:12:12 #207 You must wish to do me a favor.
00:12:19 #208 Well, you go on out and get married and have a lot of babies,
00:12:21 #209 but stay out of newspaper business.
00:12:23 #210 Better get that story in hang.
00:12:24 #211 It's getting late.
00:12:25 #212 You're supposed to be a smart guy.
00:12:27 #213 If it was raining $100,
00:12:28 #214 you'd be out looking for a dime, you'll lost someplace.
00:12:31 #215 How long is Smoke's wasting my time listening to this mad woman?
00:12:33 #216 Look, Chief McThe Chronicle is running on John Doe.
00:12:36 #217 They say it's a fake.
00:12:37 #218 Why, to no good to...
00:12:40 #219 John Doe's story, I'm at your journalism.
00:12:42 #220 It's probably Phonies of Wonder.
00:12:44 #221 Anyone is taking it seriously.
00:12:46 #222 What do you think of those guys?
00:12:47 #223 That's fine. That's fine.
00:12:48 #224 Now fall right into their laps.
00:12:50 #225 Go ahead. Say John Doe walked in and called the whole thing off.
00:12:53 #226 You know what that's going to sound like on top of this.
00:12:55 #227 That's all right. Thank you.
00:12:59 #228 Now mature journalism.
00:13:01 #229 Why that bunch of soft moors?
00:13:03 #230 I can teach them more about...
00:13:04 #231 Hey, boss! Get a load of this. Why? Look.
00:13:07 #232 What?
00:13:12 #233 They all say they wrote the John Doe letter.
00:13:14 #234 Yeah.
00:13:15 #235 Look at that, boss.
00:13:16 #236 Oh, they all wrote the letter.
00:13:17 #237 Tell them all the way.
00:13:18 #238 Look, Mr. Cannell, one of those men is your John Doe.
00:13:21 #239 They're desperate and will do anything for a cup of coffee.
00:13:23 #240 Pick one out and you can make the chronicle eat their words.
00:13:26 #241 I'm beginning to like this.
00:13:28 #242 Yes, me, Hank.
00:13:29 #243 You're playing around with dynamite. No, no, no, no, no.
00:13:32 #244 The girl's right.
00:13:32 #245 We can't let the chronicle get the laugh on us.
00:13:34 #246 We've got to produce a John Doe now.
00:13:36 #247 Amateur journalism, huh?
00:13:38 #248 I'll show those guys. Sure.
00:13:39 #249 And there's no reason for them to find out the truth
00:13:41 #250 either, because naturally, I won't say anything.
00:13:46 #251 OK, sister, you get your job back.
00:13:48 #252 That's a bonus.
00:13:49 #253 What bonus?
00:13:50 #254 All the bonus of a thousand dollars, the Chronicle was going to pay me for this little document.
00:13:54 #255 You'll find it says that I am Mitchell hereby certified that the John Doe letter was created
00:13:58 #256 by me.
00:13:59 #257 I can read, I can read.
00:14:00 #258 Sorry.
00:14:02 #259 You think this is worth a thousand dollars, do you?
00:14:04 #260 The Chronicle would consider a third sheet.
00:14:07 #261 Hacks everything, including a gun.
00:14:09 #262 Okay, so you got yourself a deal.
00:14:11 #263 Now let's take a look at the candidates.
00:14:13 #264 The one we pick has got to be the typical average man.
00:14:16 #265 Typical American who can keep his mouth shut.
00:14:17 #266 Show me an American who can keep his mouth shut and I'll eat him.
00:14:21 #267 OK, Benny, bring him in one the turn.
00:14:24 #268 All right.
00:14:46 #269 Did you write that letter to Miss Mitchell?
00:15:30 #270 Oh, I didn't.
00:15:33 #271 Well, you don't appear there.
00:15:35 #272 Well, the paper says there was some jobs around loose.
00:15:37 #273 Thought there might be one left over.
00:15:39 #274 Had any schooling?
00:15:41 #275 Yeah.
00:15:42 #276 Little?
00:15:42 #277 What are you doing your work?
00:15:44 #278 I used to pitch.
00:15:45 #279 Baseball?
00:15:47 #280 Yeah.
00:15:48 #281 So the wing went bad.
00:15:49 #282 Where'd you play?
00:15:52 #283 Bushleaks mostly.
00:15:53 #284 How about family? Got any family?
00:15:55 #285 Just traveling through, huh?
00:15:58 #286 Yeah. Me and a friend of mine. He's outside.
00:16:01 #287 Perfect. A baseball player.
00:16:08 #288 What could be more American?
00:16:09 #289 She had a family, though.
00:16:15 #290 They'll believe him.
00:16:19 #291 What's your name?
00:16:21 #292 Long John Willoughby. They called me in baseball.
00:16:24 #293 Uh, would you, uh...
00:16:25 #294 Would you like to make some money?
00:16:29 #295 Yeah. Maybe.
00:16:31 #296 Would you be willing to say you wrote that letter
00:16:33 #297 and stick by it?
00:16:40 #298 I get the idea. Maybe.
00:16:45 #299 He's made to order. No, no, no.
00:16:52 #300 You don't seem like the kind of a guy that would fall in line.
00:16:53 #301 I'm not desperate for money.
00:16:54 #302 You do a lot of things, Mr. Cannell.
00:16:56 #303 He's our man, I tell you.
00:16:58 #304 He's fainted!
00:17:00 #305 Get the water quickly!
00:17:01 #306 Hurry up, Pa.
00:17:03 #307 Right here, sit up.
00:17:04 #308 You all right?
00:17:05 #309 Yeah, I'm all right.
00:17:08 #310 How many is that, sex?
00:17:19 #311 Pretty hungry, weren't you?
00:17:21 #312 Well, this John Doe business is bad if you ask me.
00:17:26 #313 Well, nobody asked you.
00:17:28 #314 Trying to improve the world by jumping off buildings.
00:17:30 #315 You couldn't improve the world if the buildings jumped
00:17:32 #316 on you don't mind the Colonel he hates people like you well enough to stick around
00:17:38 #317 well that's because we both play do take a box car a couple of years ago I was
00:17:44 #318 fooling around with my harmonica and he comes over and joins in I haven't been able
00:17:48 #319 to shake him since my boys Harry is no you can't take pictures of him like
00:18:13 #320 that eating a sandwich and with the beard but he's gonna jump off a building because
00:18:17 #321 he's out of a job that's not news this man's going to jump as a matter of
00:18:20 #322 principle maybe a ride we'll clean him up and put him in a hotel room when
00:18:23 #323 The bodyguards will make a mystery out of him.
00:18:25 #324 Did you speak to Mr. Norton? Say, sir, repeat.
00:18:27 #325 Says first to go the limit.
00:18:28 #326 Once it's a bill to bonfire under every big shot in the state. Oh, so why?
00:18:31 #327 Was that the contract?
00:18:32 #328 Yeah.
00:18:33 #329 What's he doing here? Friend of his.
00:18:35 #330 They played duets together.
00:18:36 #331 Duets?
00:18:37 #332 What can we trust him?
00:18:39 #333 I trust him.
00:18:40 #334 Oh, you trust him?
00:18:41 #335 Well, that's fine.
00:18:42 #336 I suppose he trusts you too. Oh, stop.
00:18:43 #337 I mean, he's all right.
00:18:45 #338 OK, but we don't want more than a couple of hundred people
00:18:47 #339 in on this thing.
00:18:48 #340 Now, the first thing I want is an exact copy
00:18:50 #341 of the John Doe letter in your own handwriting.
00:18:52 #342 I've got it already here.
00:18:54 #343 Well, that's fine.
00:18:56 #344 Now, I want you to sign this agreement.
00:18:58 #345 It gives us an exclusive story under your name,
00:19:00 #346 day by day, from now until Christmas.
00:19:03 #347 On December 26th, you get one railroad ticket out of town.
00:19:08 #348 And the bulletin agrees to pay to have your loan fixed.
00:19:10 #349 That's what you want, isn't it?
00:19:11 #350 Yeah, but it's got to be by Bonesetter Brown.
00:19:13 #351 OK, Bonesetter Brown goes.
00:19:15 #352 Here, sign it.
00:19:16 #353 Meanwhile, here's $50 spending money. And B? Yes, boss.
00:19:21 #354 Take charge of him.
00:19:22 #355 Get him a suite at the imperial and hire some bodyguards.
00:19:24 #356 He had some new clothes, Beanie.
00:19:26 #357 I think you better have him to last.
00:19:27 #358 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Both of them?
00:19:29 #359 Yes, both of them.
00:19:30 #360 But don't let him out of your sight.
00:19:32 #361 Hey, Beanie, spray a suit, huh?
00:19:33 #362 Yes.
00:19:34 #363 OK, fellas.
00:19:35 #364 Easy, John Doe.
00:19:43 #365 You stop pounding that typewriter.
00:19:49 #366 Oh, boy, this is terrific.
00:19:51 #367 No responsibilities in our part.
00:19:52 #368 Just statements from John Doe, and we can blast our heads off.
00:19:55 #369 Before you pop too many buttons,
00:19:56 #370 don't forget to make out that check for a thud.
00:19:58 #371 OK, fellas.

00:20:39 #382 And don't pull that on me neither.
00:20:41 #383 Stop worrying, Colonel.
00:20:42 #384 I'm gonna get my arm fixed out of this.
00:20:44 #385 Boy, here's some cigars of our sendlets.
00:20:46 #386 Have one. Hey, have some.
00:20:48 #387 Say, I bet you even the major leagueers
00:20:59 #388 don't rate an outfit like this.
00:21:01 #389 Here, make yourself comfortable.
00:21:02 #390 Paper?
00:21:03 #391 I don't read no papers,
00:21:05 #392 and I don't listen to radios either.
00:21:07 #393 I know the world's been shaped by a drunken barber,
00:21:09 #394 and I don't have to read it.
00:21:10 #395 This thing, guys, like you go on to be four.
00:21:15 #396 Guys, it never had a worry.
00:21:17 #397 Then they got a whol of some dough and went goofy.
00:21:19 #398 The first thing that happens to a guy...
00:21:21 #399 Hey, he's got a lot of the bedroom.
00:21:22 #400 No!
00:21:24 #401 The first thing that happens to a guy like that,
00:21:26 #402 he starts wanting to go into the restaurant
00:21:27 #403 and sit down at a table and eat salads
00:21:30 #404 and cupcakes and tea.
00:21:32 #405 Boy, what that kind of food does to your system?
00:21:34 #406 The next thing that Dope wants is a room.
00:21:42 #407 Yes, sir, a room with steam heat.
00:21:44 #408 And curtains and rugs.
00:21:46 #409 And before you know it, he's all softened up
00:21:47 #410 and he can't sleep unless he has a bed.
00:21:50 #411 Hey, stop worrying, Colonel.
00:21:51 #412 50 bucks ain't gonna ruin me.
00:21:52 #413 I've seen plenty of fellas start out with 50 bucks
00:21:55 #414 and wind up with a bank account.
00:21:56 #415 Hey, what's the matter with a bank account anyway?
00:21:58 #416 And let me tell you long, John, when you become a guy
00:22:01 #417 with a bank account, they gut you.
00:22:04 #418 Yes, sir, they gut you. Who's got him?
00:22:08 #419 The he-lots. Who?
00:22:10 #420 Hey, there's the city hall of power
00:22:12 #421 I was supposed to jump all about.
00:22:13 #422 It's even higher than this.
00:22:15 #423 Who's got him?
00:22:16 #424 The he-lots.
00:22:21 #425 You're not supposed to jump for Christmas Eve.
00:22:23 #426 Do you want to get me in a jam?
00:22:25 #427 If it's going to get you in the jam,
00:22:26 #428 we'll do you a favor.
00:22:27 #429 I won't jump.
00:22:29 #430 And when they got you, you got no more chance in the road, rabbit.
00:22:33 #431 Hey, who'd you say was gonna get him?
00:22:35 #432 Hey, is this one of those places where you ring if you want something?
00:22:38 #433 Yeah, just use the phone.
00:22:39 #434 Boy, I've always wanted to do this.
00:22:41 #435 Hey, Doc, look. Look, Doc.
00:22:44 #436 Give me that again, will ya?
00:22:46 #437 Who's gonna get him?
00:22:47 #438 The he-lots.
00:22:49 #439 Who are they?
00:22:50 #440 Mr. Suckie, you ever been broke?
00:22:52 #441 Sure, mostly often.
00:22:54 #442 All right, you're walking along.
00:22:56 #443 Not a nickel in your jeans.
00:22:57 #444 You're free as the way nobody bothered you.
00:22:59 #445 Hundreds of people pass you by in every line of business.
00:23:01 #446 Shoes, hats, automobiles, radios, furniture, everything.
00:23:04 #447 They're all nice, lovable people.
00:23:06 #448 And they let you long.
00:23:07 #449 Is that right?
00:23:09 #450 Then you get a hold of some dough on what happens.
00:23:13 #451 All those nice, sweet, lovable people become helots.
00:23:17 #452 A lot of heels.
00:23:19 #453 They begin creeping up on you, trying to sell you something.
00:23:23 #454 They get long claws.
00:23:25 #455 They get a stranglehold on you.
00:23:27 #456 And you squirm and you duck and you holler
00:23:29 #457 and you try to push them away, but you haven't got a chance.
00:23:31 #458 They got you.
00:23:33 #459 First thing you know, you own things.
00:23:35 #460 A car, for instance.
00:23:36 #461 Now your whole life is messed up with a lot more stuff.
00:23:40 #462 You get license fees, and number plates, and gas, and oil,
00:23:44 #463 and taxes, and insurance, and identification cards,
00:23:47 #464 and letters, and bills, and flat tires, and dents,
00:23:50 #465 and traffic tickets, and motorcycles,
00:23:52 #466 and courtrooms, and lawyers, and fines,
00:23:54 #467 and a million and one other things.
00:23:59 #468 You're not the free and happy guy you used to be.
00:24:02 #469 You gotta have money to pay for all those things.
00:24:05 #470 So you go after what the other fellas got.
00:24:08 #471 And they are.
00:24:09 #472 You're a helot yourself.
00:24:11 #473 Colonel here, take the 50.
00:24:23 #474 Go ahead and get rid of it.
00:24:24 #475 You bet I will, just as fast as I can.
00:24:26 #476 I'm gonna get some canned goods,
00:24:27 #477 a fishing rod, and the rest I'm gonna give away.
00:24:30 #478 Give away?
00:24:32 #479 Hey, get me a pitcher's glove.
00:24:33 #480 I gotta get some practice.
00:24:35 #481 He's getting it away.
00:24:37 #482 I'm gonna get me some of that.
00:24:38 #483 Hey, come back here, you helot.
00:24:43 #484 Where you send up five hamburgers with all the trimmings,
00:24:47 #485 five chocolate ice cream sodas, and five pieces of apple pie.
00:24:52 #486 No apple with cheese.
00:24:55 #487 Yeah, thanks.
00:25:13 #488 Oh, well.
00:25:15 #489 If it isn't a man of our town.
00:25:18 #490 All set, Miss Anne.
00:25:19 #491 Hmm?
00:25:20 #492 Oh, oh yes.
00:25:22 #493 Let's go.
00:25:23 #494 Um, let's see.
00:25:24 #495 We want some action in these pictures. Action?
00:25:27 #496 Mm-hmm.
00:25:30 #497 No, no, no.
00:25:31 #498 This man's going to jump off a roof.
00:25:33 #499 Here, wait a minute. Let me cool his hair.
00:25:35 #500 Sit down.
00:25:36 #501 You know, he's got a nice face, hasn't he?
00:25:52 #502 Yeah, he's pretty.
00:25:55 #503 Shhh, sit down. Quiet, Egghead.
00:25:58 #504 All right. Now a serious expression.
00:26:01 #505 Can't offend too good.
00:26:02 #506 Oh, come on. Now this is serious.
00:26:04 #507 You're a man disgusted with old civilization.
00:26:06 #508 With all of it?
00:26:07 #509 Yes, you're sore at the world. Come on now.
00:26:10 #510 Oh, crabby guy, huh?
00:26:11 #511 Yeah. No, no.
00:26:16 #512 No, no.
00:26:22 #513 Now look, you don't have to smell the world.
00:26:25 #514 Ha.
00:26:27 #515 Well, all those guys in the picture...
00:26:28 #516 Never mind those guys.
00:26:30 #517 All right, stand up.
00:26:31 #518 Now, let's see what you look like when you protest.
00:26:34 #519 Against what?
00:26:35 #520 Against anything, just protest.
00:26:38 #521 You got me.
00:26:40 #522 Look, I'm the umpire, and you just cut the heart of the plate
00:26:43 #523 with your fast one, and I called it a bull.
00:26:45 #524 What would you do?
00:26:46 #525 Oh, you did, huh?
00:26:47 #526 Yeah.
00:26:48 #527 Why can't you call a rite, you boneheaded...
00:26:50 #528 I don't care whose picture they're publishing.
00:27:45 #529 I still say that this John Doe person is a myth,
00:27:48 #530 and you can quote me on that.
00:27:50 #531 And I'm going to insist on his being produced for questioning.
00:27:54 #532 You know as well as I do that this whole thing is being engineered
00:27:58 #533 by a vicious man with a vicious purpose, Mr. D.B. Norton.
00:28:03 #534 You can tell Miss Mitchell around the house.
00:28:29 #535 Oh, they are?
00:28:30 #536 You just plain stupidity to drop it.
00:28:35 #537 Now you should see a fan mail, thousands.
00:28:37 #538 I should see a fan mail, thousands.
00:28:39 #539 Why is it going over like a house of fire?
00:28:41 #540 What are you afraid of, Cannell?
00:28:43 #541 It's double-dark circulation.
00:28:44 #542 Yeah, but it's got everybody's soar,
00:28:46 #543 hands are being pulled.
00:28:47 #544 The governor's starting a libel suit.
00:28:49 #545 What's more, they all know John Dozerfony and insist on seeing.
00:28:52 #546 What about it? Let them see him.
00:28:52 #547 We'll go and want one better. They can also hear him.
00:28:54 #548 You own the radio station, Mr. Norton.
00:28:56 #549 Why not put him on the air?
00:28:57 #550 Watch out for this damn DB.
00:28:58 #551 She'll drive you baddie.
00:28:59 #552 Well, if we can't let him get to this bush
00:29:01 #553 leave picture and start pumping him, good night.
00:29:03 #554 Now, telling what that screwball might do.
00:29:05 #555 I walked in yesterday.
00:29:06 #556 Here he is standing on a table with a fishing pole.
00:29:08 #557 Fly casting.
00:29:10 #558 Take my advice and get him out of town
00:29:11 #559 before this thing explodes in our faces.
00:29:12 #560 If you do, Mr. Norton, you're just as much of a dumb cluck
00:29:14 #561 as he is. Excuse me.
00:29:15 #562 No, you've got yourself a meal ticket
00:29:17 #563 and you hate to let go.
00:29:18 #564 Sure is a meal ticket for me. I admit it.
00:29:19 #565 But it's also a windfall for somebody
00:29:20 #566 like Mr. Norton who's trying to crash national politics.
00:29:22 #567 That's what you bought the newspaper for, isn't it?
00:29:24 #568 You want to reach a lot of people, don't you?
00:29:25 #569 Well, put John Doe in the air
00:29:27 #570 and you can reach 130 million of them.
00:29:28 #571 He can say anything he wants and they'll listen to him.
00:29:31 #572 All right, we'll forget the governor and the mayor
00:29:32 #573 and all the small fry like that.
00:29:34 #574 This can arouse national interest.
00:29:36 #575 If he made a hit around here, he could do
00:29:37 #576 every place else in the country.
00:29:39 #577 And you'll be pulling the strings, Mr. Norton.
00:29:41 #578 The office is in range for some radio time.
00:29:47 #579 What they be, you're not gonna fall.
00:29:48 #580 I wanted to assume this possible.
00:29:52 #581 OK.
00:29:53 #582 I just came in to get warm myself.
00:29:56 #583 Come on, let's go.
00:29:57 #584 Now, don't you go.
00:29:59 #585 I want to talk to you.
00:30:25 #586 If it's your idea, it's yours, huh? Yes, sir.
00:30:29 #587 What's your money do you get?
00:30:37 #588 $30.
00:30:41 #589 Well, what are you after? I mean, what do you want? A journalistic career?
00:30:46 #590 Money.
00:30:49 #591 Well, I'm glad to hear somebody admitted could write a radio speech that would put that fellow over.
00:30:59 #592 Oh, I'm sure I can.
00:31:00 #593 Do it and I'll give you $100 a week.
00:31:02 #594 $100? That's only the beginning.
00:31:04 #595 You play your cards right and you'll never have to worry about money again.
00:31:08 #596 Oh, I knew it.
00:31:09 #597 Oh, hello whenever there's a pretty woman around.
00:31:12 #598 This is my nephew Ted Sheldon, Miss Mitchell.
00:31:14 #599 How do you do?
00:31:16 #600 All right, Casanova, I'll give you a break.
00:31:17 #601 See that Miss Mitchell gets a car to take her home.
00:31:20 #602 Always reading my mind, aren't you?
00:31:22 #603 Thank you very much for everything.
00:31:25 #604 And Miss Mitchell, I think from now on,
00:31:28 #605 you'd better work directly with me. Yes, ma'am.
00:31:31 #606 Come, come, come, children.
00:32:16 #607 It's past your bedtime.
00:32:18 #608 Come on, come on, come on.
00:32:19 #609 Come on, come on.
00:32:22 #610 Now, she's going to stay for it through me. I'm done.
00:32:25 #611 I'll never get this speech right.
00:32:26 #612 Oh, yes, you will, Andy.
00:32:27 #613 You're very clever.
00:32:29 #614 Yeah, I know. What are you looking for?
00:32:31 #615 Your purse, I need ten dollars.
00:32:33 #616 What for? I gave you fifty just the other day.
00:32:35 #617 Yes, I know dear, but Mrs. Burke had her baby yesterday.
00:32:38 #618 Nine pounds.
00:32:39 #619 And there wasn't a thing in the house.
00:32:41 #620 And then the community chest lady came...
00:32:43 #621 And the fifty's all gone, huh? Who's the ten for?
00:32:45 #622 The Webster.
00:32:47 #623 You remember those lovely people your father used to take care of?
00:32:50 #624 I thought I'd buy them some groceries.
00:32:52 #625 Oh, and dear, it's a shame those young...
00:32:54 #626 You're marvelous, Ma. You're just like father used to be.
00:32:57 #627 Do you realize a couple of weeks ago we didn't have enough to eat ourselves?
00:33:00 #628 Well yes, I know dear, but these people are in such need.
00:33:03 #629 And we have plenty now.
00:33:04 #630 If you're thinking of that thousand dollars, forget it.
00:33:05 #631 It's practically all gone.
00:33:06 #632 We owed everybody in town.
00:33:08 #633 Now you just gotta stop giving all your money away.
00:33:10 #634 Oh and dear.
00:33:12 #635 Oh I'm sorry.
00:33:13 #636 Oh don't pay attention to me.
00:33:15 #637 I guess I'm just upset about all this.
00:33:18 #638 Geebush, here I am with a great opportunity to get somewhere.
00:33:21 #639 To give you security for once in our lives and I'm stuck.
00:33:23 #640 If I could put this over,
00:33:24 #641 Your Mrs. Burke can have six babies.
00:33:27 #642 I mean, this speech you're writing...
00:33:28 #643 Yeah, I don't know. I simply can't get it to Jill.
00:33:31 #644 I created somebody who's going to give up his life for a principal.
00:33:33 #645 Hundreds of thousands of people are going to listen to him over the radio.
00:33:36 #646 And unless he says something that's...
00:33:38 #647 Well, that's sensational. It's just no good.
00:33:41 #648 Well, honey, of course I don't know what kind of a speech you're trying to write.
00:33:44 #649 But judging from the samples I've read,
00:33:47 #650 I don't think anybody'll listen.
00:33:48 #651 What?
00:33:50 #652 Darling, there's so many complaining political speeches.
00:33:53 #653 People are tired of hearing nothing but doom and despair on the radio.
00:33:57 #654 If you're going to have him say anything, why don't you let him say something simple and real, something with hope in it?
00:34:04 #655 Your father were alive. He'd know what to say.
00:34:06 #656 I would.
00:34:12 #657 Wait a minute.
00:34:31 #658 That's your father's diary, Anne.
00:34:33 #659 Father's... I never knew he had a diary.
00:34:36 #660 There's nothing here for a hundred speeches.
00:34:38 #661 Things people ought to hear nowadays.
00:34:41 #662 You be careful of it, won't you, dear?
00:34:43 #663 Always help to keep your father alive for me.
00:34:46 #664 You bear with my...
00:34:47 #665 Man, a John Doe don't wanna sign a water grass.
00:34:53 #666 What does he do all day?
00:34:57 #667 He's writing out his memories!
00:34:58 #668 Oh!
00:34:59 #669 Sorry, lady, you can't see Mr. Doe.
00:35:01 #670 He wants to be alone.
00:35:02 #671 No.
00:35:04 #672 No, he just sits around all day and commutes with himself.
00:35:06 #673 I don't know how you're gonna stand it around here
00:35:25 #674 to laugh at Christmas.
00:35:30 #675 I'll bet you can hear the train whistle in two weeks.
00:35:33 #676 Right!
00:35:43 #677 I know why you're hanging around.
00:35:58 #678 He's stuck on the girl.
00:36:10 #679 It's all a guy needs is to get hooked up with a woman.
00:36:30 #680 What was that, a single?
00:36:32 #681 First baseman dropped a ball.
00:36:34 #682 But it thing is...
00:36:36 #683 tough luck, pal.
00:36:37 #684 A woman on his hand?
00:36:45 #685 First thing he knows is life is bald up with a lot more things.
00:36:49 #686 furniture.
00:37:02 #687 Did you get him?
00:37:04 #688 You're out!
00:37:05 #689 It's well.
00:37:07 #690 What's this, the N of the eight?
00:37:08 #691 Nine.
00:37:14 #692 Hey, Vinnie, there's a couple of mugs in the chronic.
00:37:15 #693 I'm snooping around out here.
00:37:16 #694 Ah!
00:37:20 #695 Come on, Angel Face.
00:37:24 #696 The gang wine.
00:37:25 #697 What's the score interface?
00:37:26 #698 22 half paper.
00:37:27 #699 Gee, that's great.
00:37:36 #700 You got swell form there.
00:37:37 #701 Must have been a pretty good pitcher.
00:37:39 #702 Pretty good, Sam.
00:37:39 #703 Just about ready for the major leagues
00:37:41 #704 when I chipped a ball in my elbow.
00:37:43 #705 I got a pitch in a 19 inning game.
00:37:45 #706 19?
00:37:46 #707 Yeah.
00:37:47 #708 There was a major league scout there watching me too.
00:37:49 #709 And he came down after a game of the contract.
00:37:52 #710 You know what?
00:37:53 #711 I couldn't lift my arm to sign it.
00:37:56 #712 I'll be OK, though, sooner or later.
00:37:57 #713 I got it fixed up.
00:37:58 #714 That's too bad.
00:38:00 #715 What do you mean?
00:38:01 #716 What?
00:38:02 #717 Oh, that you'll never be able to play again.
00:38:05 #718 What are you talking about?
00:38:06 #719 I just told you I was going to get my...
00:38:07 #720 Well, you know how they aren't baseball
00:38:08 #721 if a guy's mixed up in a racket?
00:38:11 #722 Racket? What do you mean?
00:38:13 #723 Well, I was just thinking about this John Doe business.
00:38:16 #724 Whereas, as soon as it comes out it's all a fake.
00:38:19 #725 You'll be washed up in baseball, won't you?
00:38:21 #726 What about that?
00:38:29 #727 Another thing, what about all the kids in the country?
00:38:38 #728 The kids that idolize ball players.
00:38:41 #729 What are they going to think about you?
00:38:46 #730 Hey, Colonel.
00:38:51 #731 I gotta figure some way out of this thing.
00:38:54 #732 The elevator's just still running.
00:38:56 #733 One way you can do it, how?
00:39:01 #734 Well, when you get up there on the radio,
00:39:02 #735 all you have to do is to say the whole thing's a frame up.
00:39:05 #736 Make your hero sure you're born.
00:39:08 #737 Yeah, but how am I going to get my arm fixed?
00:39:11 #738 That's a cinch.
00:39:13 #739 I know somebody will give you $5,000 just to get up
00:39:16 #740 on the radio and tell the truth.
00:39:17 #741 $5,000?
00:39:19 #742 Yeah, $5,000, and he gets it right away.
00:39:22 #743 You don't have to wait until Christmas.
00:39:25 #744 Look out, Long John.
00:39:26 #745 They're closing in on you.
00:39:27 #746 Who's putting up this dope?
00:39:31 #747 fellow runs a chronicle.
00:39:33 #748 Here's the speech you're making.
00:39:36 #749 It's all written out for you.
00:39:37 #750 $5,000.
00:39:42 #751 Holy mackerel!
00:39:43 #752 I can see the helots coming.
00:39:45 #753 The whole army of them!
00:39:46 #754 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:40:03 #755 Tickets for the broadcast are all gone.
00:40:05 #756 Phone the bulletin.
00:40:06 #757 Sorry, no more tickets left.
00:40:08 #758 Oh, John, all set for the big night?
00:40:22 #759 Well, turn around. One moment.
00:40:24 #760 I'll see you at six.
00:40:25 #761 Oh, God!
00:40:27 #762 I'll miss you!
00:40:29 #763 Okay, take him out.
00:40:31 #764 Look, John, he's a speech.
00:40:33 #765 He's in Captain Double Space.
00:40:35 #766 You won't have any trouble reading it.
00:40:37 #767 Not nervous, are you?
00:40:39 #768 Of course not. He wouldn't be.
00:40:41 #769 John Doe, don't let me near.
00:40:43 #770 Don't let your knees rattle.
00:40:45 #771 He needs to be nervous.
00:40:47 #772 I forgot that phone number for you.
00:40:49 #773 Hello?
00:40:51 #774 Thank you.
00:40:53 #775 The poor, dear man.

00:42:41 #828 Will you?
00:42:44 #829 If you'll just think of yourself as the real John Doe.
00:42:47 #830 Listen.
00:42:48 #831 Everything in that beach of things a certain man believed in.
00:42:51 #832 He was my father, John.
00:42:53 #833 When he talked, people listened.
00:42:55 #834 And they listened to you too.
00:42:58 #835 Funny.
00:43:00 #836 You know what my mother said the other night?
00:43:03 #837 She said to look into your eyes that I'd see father there.
00:43:06 #838 Hey, what do you say?
00:43:11 #839 Okay, we're coming. Come on.
00:43:13 #840 Now listen, John, you're a pitcher.
00:43:15 #841 Now get in there and pitch. Good luck.
00:43:20 #842 Give me a little bit of room.
00:43:24 #843 Let's get out of here. There's the door right there.
00:43:39 #844 Hey, what are you doing here?
00:43:40 #845 That's what I'd like to know.
00:43:41 #846 Come on, out, out.
00:43:42 #847 Hey, he's a friend of mine.
00:43:43 #848 Never mind. Let him alone. He's all right.
00:43:45 #849 I'll be right over there pulling for you.
00:43:49 #850 John, over here.
00:43:54 #851 Stand by.
00:44:00 #852 I'm getting those extras out.
00:44:35 #853 And good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:44:59 #854 This is Kenneth Fry speaking for the new bulletin.
00:45:01 #855 Tonight, we give you something entirely new and different.
00:45:04 #856 Standing beside me is the young man who has declared publicly
00:45:07 #857 that on Christmas Eve he intends to commit suicide,
00:45:10 #858 giving as his reason, quote,
00:45:12 #859 I protest against the state of civilization, end quote.
00:45:16 #860 Ladies and gentlemen, the new bulletin takes pleasure
00:45:18 #861 in presenting the man who is fast becoming
00:45:20 #862 the most talked up person in the whole country, John Doe.
00:45:24 #863 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:45:49 #864 I am the man you all know as John Doe.
00:45:56 #865 I took that name because it seems to describe,
00:45:59 #866 because it seems to describe the average man.
00:46:05 #867 And that's me.
00:46:08 #868 Well, it was me before I said I was going to jump off the city
00:46:16 #869 whole roof at midnight on Christmas Eve.
00:46:19 #870 Now, I guess I'm not average anymore.
00:46:23 #871 Now I'm getting all sorts of attention from big shots, too.
00:46:26 #872 You've been double-crossed.
00:46:27 #873 The mayor and the governor, for instance.
00:46:30 #874 They don't like those articles I've been writing.
00:46:32 #875 You're an imposter, young fellow.
00:46:34 #876 That's a pack of lies you're telling.
00:46:37 #877 Who wrote that speech for you?
00:46:39 #878 Ladies and gentlemen, the disturbance you just heard was caused by someone in the audience who tried to heckle Mr. Doe.
00:46:59 #879 The speech will continue.
00:47:08 #880 People like the governor...
00:47:10 #881 People like the governor and that fellow there can stop worrying.
00:47:14 #882 I'm not going to talk about them.
00:47:16 #883 I'm going to talk about us.
00:47:18 #884 The average guys, the John Doe's.
00:47:20 #885 the John Doe's.
00:47:22 #886 If anybody should ask you what the average John Doe is like,
00:47:25 #887 you couldn't tell him because he's a million and one things.
00:47:29 #888 He's Mr. Big and Mr. Small.
00:47:32 #889 He's simple and he's wise.
00:47:33 #890 He's inherently honest, but he's got
00:47:35 #891 a streak of larceny in his heart.
00:47:37 #892 He seldom walks up to a public telephone
00:47:39 #893 without shoving his finger into the slot
00:47:41 #894 to see if somebody left a nickel there.
00:47:55 #895 He's the man the ads are written for.
00:47:58 #896 He's the fellow everybody sells things to.
00:48:01 #897 He's Joe Dokes, the world's greatest dude,
00:48:04 #898 and the world's greatest strength.
00:48:15 #899 Yes, sir?
00:48:17 #900 Yes, sir, we're a great family, the John Doe's.
00:48:20 #901 We are the meek who are supposed to inherit the earth.
00:48:25 #902 You'll find us everywhere.
00:48:27 #903 We raise the crops, we dig the mines,
00:48:29 #904 work the factories, keep the books,
00:48:31 #905 fly the planes, and drive the buses.
00:48:33 #906 And when a cop yells, stand back there, you,
00:48:36 #907 He means us, the John Doe.
00:48:38 #908 What kind of a speech is that, didn't you read it?
00:48:41 #909 We've existed since time began.
00:48:43 #910 We built the pyramids.
00:48:44 #911 We saw Christ crucified, pulled the oars for Roman emperors,
00:48:49 #912 sailed the boats for Columbus, retreated from Moscow
00:48:52 #913 with Napoleon, and froze with Washington at Valley Forge.
00:49:00 #914 Yes, sir?
00:49:01 #915 We've been in their dodge and left hooks
00:49:03 #916 since before history began to walk.
00:49:05 #917 In our struggle for free the canvas many a time,
00:49:08 #918 but we always bounce back because we're the people and we're tough.
00:49:17 #919 They've started a lot of talk about free people going soft,
00:49:20 #920 that we can't take it.
00:49:21 #921 That's a lot of hooey.
00:49:24 #922 A free people can beat the world at anything from war to tiddlywinks
00:49:27 #923 if we all pull in the same direction.
00:49:38 #924 I know a lot of you are saying,
00:49:39 #925 what can I do?
00:49:41 #926 I'm just a little punk.
00:49:42 #927 I don't count.
00:49:44 #928 Well, you're dead wrong.
00:49:45 #929 The little punks have always counted because in the long run,
00:49:47 #930 the character of a country is the sum total of the character of its little punk.
00:49:59 #931 But we've all got to get in there and pitch.
00:50:01 #932 We can't win the old ballgame unless we have teamwork.
00:50:04 #933 And that's where every John Doe comes in.
00:50:08 #934 It's up to him to get together with his teammate.
00:50:11 #935 And your teammate, my friend, is the guy next door to you.
00:50:16 #936 Your neighbor, he's a terribly important guy, that guy next door.
00:50:20 #937 You're going to need him and he's going to need you.
00:50:22 #938 So look him up.
00:50:23 #939 If he's sick, call on him.
00:50:25 #940 If he's hungry, feed him.
00:50:27 #941 If he's out of a job, find him one.
00:50:30 #942 To most of you, your neighbor is a stranger,
00:50:32 #943 a guy with a barking dog and a high fence around him.
00:50:35 #944 Now you can't be a stranger to any guy
00:50:37 #945 that's on your own team.
00:50:39 #946 So tear down the fence that separates you.
00:50:42 #947 Tear down the fence, and you tear down
00:50:44 #948 a lot of hates and prejudices.
00:50:46 #949 Tear down all the fences in the country
00:50:48 #950 and you really have teamwork.
00:50:59 #951 I know a lot of you are saying to yourselves,
00:51:01 #952 he's asking for a miracle to happen.
00:51:03 #953 He's expecting people to change all of a sudden.
00:51:06 #954 Well, you're wrong.
00:51:07 #955 It's no miracle.
00:51:08 #956 It's no miracle because I see it happen once every year.
00:51:12 #957 And so do you.
00:51:14 #958 At Christmas time, there's something
00:51:17 #959 swell about the spirit of Christmas
00:51:19 #960 to see what it does to people, all kinds of people.
00:51:23 #961 Now, why can't that spirit, that same warm Christmas spirit
00:51:27 #962 last the whole year round. Gosh. If it ever did if each and every John Doe would make
00:51:34 #963 that spirit last three hundred and sixty five days out of the year we'd develop
00:51:38 #964 such a strength we'd create such a tidal wave of good will that no human force
00:51:43 #965 could stand against it. Yes sir my friends the meek can only inherit the
00:51:50 #966 earth when the John Doe start loving their neighbors. You better start right
00:51:55 #967 Now don't wait till the game is called on account of darkness.
00:51:59 #968 Wake up John Doe, you're the hope of the world.
00:52:13 #969 John, you're going to be fine.
00:52:44 #970 I knew you'd wake up sooner or later.
00:52:46 #971 Boy, am I glad we got out of back in this.
00:52:49 #972 I had the five thousand bucks sewed up.
00:52:51 #973 Could have been on my way to Old Dark Brown.
00:52:53 #974 You're a pitcher, John, she says.
00:52:57 #975 Now go in there and pitch.
00:52:59 #976 He's a he lot just like the rest of his lucky get away from it.
00:53:03 #977 What was I doing up there making a speech anyway me huh?
00:53:06 #978 The more I think about it the more I could tear down all the fences.
00:53:10 #979 Why if you tore one picket off your neighbor's fence he'd sue you.
00:53:13 #980 $5,000 bucks had it right in my hand.
00:53:16 #981 What do you mean he ran away?
00:53:18 #982 We'll go after him find him that man is terrific.
00:53:46 #983 Better let me talk to him.
00:56:50 #984 All right but presented to him is a great cause for the common man.
00:56:53 #985 Ah, here he comes. Get him down. Get him down, folks.
00:56:55 #986 Come on, guys. Come on.
00:56:57 #987 Come on, here he comes. Here he comes.
00:56:59 #988 You too.
00:57:17 #989 How's the whole burn down?
00:57:22 #990 Well, but tell the newspapers, tell them Mr. Norton's here.
00:57:25 #991 Step out inside, Mr. Norton. My office.
00:57:27 #992 Mary comes over here, Mr. Norton.
00:57:29 #993 Just had an air condition.
00:57:30 #994 Gangway please.
00:57:30 #995 It's for Mr. Norton.
00:57:32 #996 Gangway.
00:57:33 #997 We're taking care of the neighbors are serving him a light lunch.
00:57:37 #998 Hello, John.
00:57:39 #999 The mayor, if you don't mind, we'd like to talk to him alone.
00:57:45 #1000 Well, certainly, certainly.
00:57:46 #1001 All right, everybody. Clear out.
00:57:48 #1002 What's your problem?
00:57:49 #1003 Quickly now.
00:57:50 #1004 Come on, you can pass the rope.
00:57:52 #1005 Come on, come on.
00:57:53 #1006 I'm sorry you're with me here.
00:57:59 #1007 Wait till we get home.
00:58:00 #1008 Do it to push me around like that.
00:58:01 #1009 Even though I'm your wife, you can't push me around.
00:58:04 #1010 Look, Mr. Norton, I think you got a lot of nerve
00:58:05 #1011 having those people hold us here.
00:58:07 #1012 The dough?
00:58:11 #1013 So natural that they... Nobody holding us here.
00:58:13 #1014 Let's get going.
00:58:14 #1015 Incidentally, my name isn't dough. It's Willoughby.
00:58:16 #1016 Look, John, something terribly important happened.
00:58:19 #1017 They're forming John Doe clubs.
00:58:21 #1018 We know of Ado already, and they say that they're good.
00:58:23 #1019 John Doe clubs? What for?
00:58:24 #1020 To carry out the principles you talked about
00:58:26 #1021 in your radio speech.
00:58:27 #1022 I don't care what they're forming. I'm on my way and I don't like the idea of being stopped either.
00:58:30 #1023 Oh, but you don't know how big this thing is. You should see the thousands of telegrams we've received and what they're saying about you.
00:58:36 #1024 Look, it started as a circulation stunt, didn't it? Well, you got your circulation, now why don't you let me alone?
00:58:42 #1025 Oh, it started as a circulation stunt, but it isn't any more. Mr. Norton wants to get back of it and sponsor John Doe Club's all over the country.
00:58:48 #1026 He wants to send you on a lecture tour.
00:58:51 #1027 Me?
00:58:52 #1028 Certainly with your ability to influence people it might grow into a glorious movement. So let's get something straight here
00:58:58 #1029 I don't want any part of this thing if you got an idea. I'm going around lecturing the people while you're crazy
00:59:05 #1030 Baseball is my racket and I'm sticking to it
00:59:08 #1031 Come on, let's get out of here. John, please please. I just got rid of one crowd
00:59:14 #1032 But please mr. Mayer tell him the John Doe Club wants to talk to him
00:59:18 #1033 Let them in, Mr. Mayor. Let them come in.
00:59:20 #1034 Okay, folks, but remember your manners.
00:59:22 #1035 No stampeding. Walk slow like you do when you come to pay your taxes.
00:59:26 #1036 We have a chance.
00:59:36 #1037 My name is Bert Hansen, Mr. Doe.
00:59:40 #1038 I'm the head soda jerker at Schwabacker's drugstore.
00:59:44 #1039 Well, sir, you see, me and my wife, we heard your broadcast,
00:59:48 #1040 and we got quite a bang out of it, especially my wife.
00:59:51 #1041 Kept me up half the night saying,
00:59:53 #1042 that man's right, honey.
00:59:55 #1043 The trouble with the world is nobody gives a hoot about his neighbor.
00:59:58 #1044 That's why everybody in town soaring cranky at each other.
01:00:01 #1045 And I kept saying, well, that's fine, but how's the guy gonna go around loving the kind of neighbors we got?
01:00:07 #1046 Old Sourpus, for instance.
01:00:09 #1047 You see, Sourpus Smith is as a guy who lives all alone next door to us.
01:00:13 #1048 He's a cranky old man that runs a second-hand furniture store.
01:00:16 #1049 We haven't spoken to him for years.
01:00:19 #1050 I always figured he was an ordinary old gent that hated the world,
01:00:23 #1051 always slamming his garage door and playing the radio so loud he kept half the neighbors up.
01:00:31 #1052 Well anyway the next morning I'm out watering the lawn and I look over and there's Sarpus on the
01:00:36 #1053 other side of the head straight and out of Denton, Miss Fender. And my wife yells to me out the
01:00:41 #1054 window she says go on speak to him Bert and I figured well heck I can't lose anything so I yelled
01:00:48 #1055 He called over to him, good morning, Mr. Smithers.
01:00:51 #1056 He went right on pound in his fender.
01:00:53 #1057 It was eye-burnt, so I turned around to give my wife a dirty look.
01:00:57 #1058 She said, louder, louder, he didn't hear you.
01:01:01 #1059 So when a voice you could have heard in the next county,
01:01:03 #1060 I yell, good morning, Mr. Smithers.
01:01:05 #1061 Well, sir, you could have knocked me over with a feather.
01:01:10 #1062 Old Sourpuss turned around, surprised like,
01:01:12 #1063 and he put on a big smile, came over and took my hand
01:01:17 #1064 an old large brother and he said good morning Hanson I've been wanting to talk
01:01:21 #1065 to you for years only I thought you didn't like me and then he started chatting
01:01:25 #1066 away like a happy little kid he got so excited his eyes are well mr. Doe before
01:01:31 #1067 we got through I found out Smith is a swell egg only he's pretty deaf and that
01:01:35 #1068 accounts for all the noises he says it's a shame how little we know about our
01:01:40 #1069 neighbors and then he got an idea and he said how's about inviting everybody
01:01:44 #1070 some place where we can all get together and know each other a little better.
01:01:49 #1071 Well, I'm feeling so good by this time.
01:01:50 #1072 I'm ripe for anything.
01:01:51 #1073 So Smithers goes around the neighborhood inviting everybody to a meeting at the schoolhouse.
01:01:55 #1074 And I tell everybody to come in the store, including Mr.
01:01:58 #1075 Farback or my boss.
01:02:01 #1076 I'm talking to myself.
01:02:05 #1077 Well, I'll be doggone if for 40 people don't show up.
01:02:09 #1078 Of course, none of us knew what to do, but we sure got a kick out of
01:02:12 #1079 see how glad everybody was to say hello to one another.
01:02:16 #1080 Tell me about making sourpuss chairman. Oh yeah we made sourpuss chairman and
01:02:20 #1081 decided to call ourselves the John Doe Club and say incidentally this is my wife
01:02:24 #1082 here honey. This is my wife Mr Doe. How do you do Mr Doe.
01:02:30 #1083 Our person here to. This is our place or excuse me.
01:02:38 #1084 That's all right if you didn't call me sourpuss wouldn't feel natural.
01:02:42 #1085 Well, anyway, I guess nearly everybody in the neighborhood came except the Delaney's.
01:02:48 #1086 The Delaney's live in a big house with an iron fence around it, and they always keep their
01:02:53 #1087 blinds drawn.
01:02:54 #1088 And we always figured that he was just an old miser that sat back counting his money.
01:02:58 #1089 So I bother about inviting him until Grimes, the milkman, spoke up and he said,
01:03:04 #1090 Say, you've got the Delaney's all wrong.
01:03:07 #1091 And then he tells us about how they canceled their milk last week, and how when he
01:03:11 #1092 When he found a note in the bottle, he got kind of curious like,
01:03:14 #1093 and he sort of peeked in under the blinds
01:03:17 #1094 and found the house was empty.
01:03:18 #1095 If you ask me, he says they're starving.
01:03:21 #1096 Old man Delaney has been bringing his furniture
01:03:23 #1097 over to my place at night.
01:03:25 #1098 One piece at a time.
01:03:26 #1099 I'm selling it. Yeah.
01:03:28 #1100 And well, a certain half dozen of us
01:03:30 #1101 ran over there to fetch him, and we brought him
01:03:31 #1102 to the meeting.
01:03:33 #1103 And what a reception they got.
01:03:34 #1104 Everybody shook hands with him and made a fuss over him.
01:03:37 #1105 And well, finally, Mr. and Mrs. Delaney just sat right
01:03:40 #1106 down and cry and then we started to find out about a lot about the people. Yeah sure
01:03:44 #1107 you know Grewble friends Grewble here. Yeah that's a. You don't know Grewble but he's
01:03:53 #1108 a man that everybody figured was the worst no account in the neighborhood because he
01:03:58 #1109 was looking like a hermit nobody had had anything to do with him.
01:04:02 #1110 That isn't a Murphy the postman told us the truth. Grewble he says he lives out
01:04:07 #1111 a garbage cans because he won't take charity because it's ruin his self respect he says.
01:04:13 #1112 Just like you said on the radio Mr.
01:04:15 #1113 Well sir about a dozen families got together and gave Google a job ordering their lunch
01:04:19 #1114 and that wonderful and then we found jobs for six other people and they've all gone off
01:04:24 #1115 from me and my boss Mr. Schwabacker made a job in his warehouse for old man Delaney
01:04:28 #1116 and he gave you that five dollar raise.
01:04:30 #1117 Yeah, that's well.
01:04:34 #1118 My bird, I feel slighted.
01:04:36 #1119 I'd like to join, but nobody asked me.
01:04:39 #1120 I'm sorry, Mayor, but we voted that no politician could join.
01:04:44 #1121 Just the John Doe's of the neighborhood,
01:04:45 #1122 because you know how politicians are.
01:04:48 #1123 Yeah.
01:04:52 #1124 Well, the reason we wanted to tell you this, Mr. Doe,
01:04:55 #1125 was to give you an idea of what you've started.
01:04:59 #1126 And from where I'm sitting, I don't see any sense in you jumping off any building.
01:05:06 #1127 Well, thank you for listening.
01:05:09 #1128 Goodbye, Mr. Doe.
01:05:12 #1129 You're a wonderful man.
01:05:14 #1130 And it strikes me you can be mighty useful walking around for a while.
01:05:18 #1131 Goodbye, Mr. Doe.
01:05:30 #1132 Good God bless you, people.
01:06:06 #1133 Gee whiz, come on, meet them.
01:06:08 #1134 I don't get it.
01:06:13 #1135 Look, all those swell people think I'm going to jump off a building or something.
01:06:17 #1136 I never had any such idea.
01:06:19 #1137 Fella'd have to be a mighty fine example himself to go around telling other people how to...
01:06:28 #1138 Say, look, what happened the other night was on account of Miss Mitchell here. She wrote the stuff.
01:06:32 #1139 Don't you see what a wonderful thing this can be?
01:06:35 #1140 But we need you, John.
01:06:37 #1141 Your hook. I can see that right now. They got you.
01:06:39 #1142 Well, I'm through.
01:06:41 #1143 For three years, I've been trying to get you up to the Columbia River country.
01:06:46 #1144 of a country. First it was a glass and then it was the radio and now it's the John
01:06:50 #1145 Doe clubs. I ain't waiting another minute.
01:06:56 #1146 Anyway you he locks.
01:06:59 #1147 Hey Colonel wait a minute.
01:07:03 #1148 I want you to go along with John Doe and Miss Mitchell and handle the press and
01:07:07 #1149 the radio. Me. Yes I don't want to take any chances at Johnson. Yes you think your
01:07:11 #1150 crew will do the map up John they'll follow John Doe and every town see that the
01:07:14 #1151 clubs are probably organized and the charges issue right only flags up there
01:07:18 #1152 I want to see that map covered before we get through.
01:07:21 #1153 Mr. Mayor will be the official host.
01:09:20 #1154 Now, hi, hat.
01:09:27 #1155 Special John Doe edition every day until the convention is over.

01:09:49 #1164 Well, I don't get it.
01:09:50 #1165 Get what?
01:09:52 #1166 Look, baby, I'm supposed to know my way around.
01:09:54 #1167 This John Doe movement cost you a fortune.
01:09:56 #1168 Now this convention is going to cost plenty.
01:09:58 #1169 We'll two on two and I'm a sucker if I can make four out of it.
01:10:04 #1170 What do you come in?
01:10:05 #1171 It'll be cause.
01:10:14 #1172 I say, I better stick the wrong in the paper.
01:10:17 #1173 I think maybe you better have.
01:10:19 #1174 I'm trying all the receipts for the money we advanced
01:10:28 #1175 to let them dismiss your route, which I gave her $1,000.
01:10:33 #1176 Sure.
01:10:35 #1177 We leave for the airport, have an oar.
01:10:37 #1178 Is that Johnny Boy's room better bustling more?
01:10:40 #1179 I've already had time, he's packing. Ah, good.
01:10:42 #1180 Did you see his picture on the cover of time?
01:10:44 #1181 I've got to give you credit, Annie girl.

01:10:48 #1183 Everything from a world fair to a channel swimmer.
01:10:51 #1184 But this one has certainly got me spinning.
01:10:54 #1185 And now a John Dole convention.

01:10:58 #1187 Say, if you could only get him to jump off their city hall roof on Christmas Eve,

01:12:20 #1203 You care if I sit down? Out here?
01:12:22 #1204 No.
01:12:36 #1205 Crazy dream last night. It was about you.
01:12:41 #1206 About me?
01:12:44 #1207 Sure, it was crazy. I dreamt I was your father.
01:12:46 #1208 There was something I was trying to stop you from doing.
01:12:55 #1209 So I got up out of bed
01:12:59 #1210 and I walked right through the wall here,
01:13:02 #1211 right straight into your room.
01:13:04 #1212 You know how dreams are.
01:13:06 #1213 And there you were in bed.
01:13:08 #1214 But you're a little girl, you know, about 10.
01:13:12 #1215 And very pretty too.
01:13:16 #1216 Shook you.
01:13:17 #1217 And the moment you opened your eyes,
01:13:19 #1218 you hopped out of bed and started running like the devil.
01:13:21 #1219 In your nightgown, you ran right out the window there
01:13:23 #1220 and you ran out over the tops of buildings and roofs
01:13:26 #1221 and everything for miles.
01:13:27 #1222 And I was chasing you.
01:13:30 #1223 And all the time you were running,
01:13:32 #1224 you kept growing bigger and bigger and bigger.
01:13:34 #1225 And pretty soon, you were as big as you are now.
01:13:37 #1226 You know, grown up.
01:13:40 #1227 And all the time I kept asking myself,
01:13:43 #1228 what am I chasing her for?
01:13:45 #1229 And I didn't know.
01:13:48 #1230 And then I thought, well anyway,
01:13:52 #1231 you ran into some place and then I ran in after you
01:13:55 #1232 and when I got there, there you were getting married.
01:14:00 #1233 Now they changed into a beautiful wedding gown.
01:14:08 #1234 You sure look pretty too.
01:14:12 #1235 And then I knew what it was
01:14:13 #1236 I was trying to stop you from doing.
01:14:14 #1237 Dreams are sure crazy, aren't they?
01:14:16 #1238 Would you like to know who it was? You were marrying?
01:14:22 #1239 I told handsome you bangie, I suppose.
01:14:28 #1240 No, not that bad. I was that fellow that sends you flowers every day.
01:14:32 #1241 Yeah, what's his name? Mr. Norton's nephew?
01:14:35 #1242 Had children.
01:14:37 #1243 Yeah, that's the one.
01:14:39 #1244 But here's the funniest part of it all.
01:14:42 #1245 I was the fellow up there doing the marrying, you know, the justice of peace or something.
01:14:46 #1246 You were? I thought you were chasing me.
01:14:48 #1247 a chance to. Yes I was but I was your father then see. But the real me John Doe or
01:14:55 #1248 that is long John will be I was a fellow up there with a book. You know what I mean
01:15:01 #1249 if you. I took you across my knee and I started. And I didn't do it I mean I did
01:15:11 #1250 do it but it wasn't me you see how's your father well I had you across my knee
01:15:16 #1251 and I said, Annie, I won't allow you to marry a man
01:15:21 #1252 that's just rich or that has his secretary send you flowers.
01:15:27 #1253 The man you marry has got swim rivers for you.
01:15:30 #1254 He's got high mountains for you.
01:15:33 #1255 He's got the slay dragons for you.
01:15:34 #1256 He's got to perform wonderful deeds for you. Yes, sir.
01:15:39 #1257 And all the time, the guy up there, you know, with the book,
01:15:41 #1258 me just stood there in on his head.
01:15:44 #1259 He said, go to it, Pop.
01:15:46 #1260 Wack your one for me, because that's just the way
01:15:48 #1261 I feel about it, too.
01:15:50 #1262 So he said, come on down here and whack her yourself.
01:15:53 #1263 So I came down and I whacked you a good one, see?
01:15:57 #1264 Then he whacked you.
01:15:58 #1265 If I whacked you another one, we both said whacking you like.
01:16:03 #1266 Well, if you're a true whacker in here,
01:16:04 #1267 come on, let's get going.
01:16:05 #1268 OK, fellas, whiten here.
01:16:07 #1269 You go out the side and there's
01:16:08 #1270 a bunch of water glass seekers out front.
01:16:10 #1271 We'll be down with the bags in a minute.
01:16:14 #1272 Come on, don't make a government project out of there.
01:16:21 #1273 When's our plane takeoff again?
01:16:23 #1274 A couple of minutes.
01:16:25 #1275 How many people do you think we've talked to already?
01:16:28 #1276 Outside the radio, I mean.
01:16:46 #1277 Look, John, what we're handing them a platitude.
01:16:49 #1278 Things they've heard a million times.
01:16:51 #1279 Love by neighbor clouds have filled the linings,
01:16:53 #1280 turned the other cheek in.
01:16:54 #1281 Yeah, I heard them a million times too, but there you are.
01:17:00 #1282 Maybe they're like me just beginning
01:17:02 #1283 to get an idea what those things mean.
01:17:06 #1284 And I never thought much about people before.
01:17:08 #1285 They were always just somebody to fill up the bleachers.
01:17:11 #1286 The only time I worried about them
01:17:12 #1287 is when they didn't come in to see me pitch.
01:17:19 #1288 Lately, I've been watching them.
01:17:20 #1289 I feel that they were hungry for something.
01:17:34 #1290 Maybe that's why they came.
01:17:35 #1291 Maybe they're somebody to say hello to.
01:17:58 #1292 Is he all right, Miss?
01:17:58 #1293 Yes, yes, that's true.
01:18:00 #1294 Oh, somebody else sitting here? No, no, no.
01:18:02 #1295 That's your seat.
01:18:03 #1296 And this is your coat.
01:18:05 #1297 Mine?
01:18:07 #1298 A little token of appreciation.
01:18:08 #1299 Oh, it's beautiful, DB.
01:18:16 #1300 I don't quite know what to say.
01:18:17 #1301 Don't say anything at all.
01:18:18 #1302 Just sit down. Go ahead.
01:18:25 #1303 Open it. Lovely.
01:18:35 #1304 And a new contract goes with it. Come on, Sprint.
01:18:44 #1305 You've got something on your mind.
01:18:46 #1306 Must be stupendous.
01:18:49 #1307 That's what I like about it.
01:18:50 #1308 Right to the point.
01:18:51 #1309 Like that.
01:18:52 #1310 I take a landing.
01:18:56 #1311 You know, it is.
01:18:57 #1312 Tomorrow night, before a crowd of 15,000 people
01:19:00 #1313 are talking over a nationwide radio hookup,
01:19:03 #1314 John Doe will have a third party.
01:19:07 #1315 A third party?
01:19:09 #1316 Yes, the John Doe party.
01:19:11 #1317 The voted entirely to the interests of all the John Doe's
01:19:14 #1318 all over the country, which practically means
01:19:19 #1319 90% of the voters.
01:19:21 #1320 He will also announce the third party's
01:19:23 #1321 candidate for the presidency.
01:19:30 #1322 The great humanitarian, the best friend the John Doe's have.
01:19:35 #1323 Mr. DB Norton.
01:19:36 #1324 Although the opening of the convention
01:20:12 #1325 is ours now, the delegates are already pouring
01:20:14 #1326 into the ballpark by the droves with lunch baskets banners and petitions asking John
01:20:19 #1327 Doe not to jump off any roof.
01:20:24 #1328 These John Doe's are the boy for life. You've heard people call them have
01:20:28 #1329 been laughed at and ridiculed but here they are gay and happy having traveled
01:20:32 #1330 thousands of miles their expenses paid by their neighbors to come here to pay
01:20:37 #1331 homage to their hero John Doe.
01:20:39 #1332 And in these days of wars and bombings, it's a hopeful sign that a simple idea like this
01:20:45 #1333 can sweep the country.
01:20:46 #1334 An idea based on friendliness, on giving and not taking, on helping your neighbor and asking
01:20:51 #1335 nothing in return.
01:20:52 #1336 And if a thing like this can happen, don't let any of your grumbling friends tell you
01:20:57 #1337 that humanity is falling apart.
01:20:59 #1338 This is John B. Hughes signing off now and returning you to our name studio until 9
01:21:04 #1339 o'clock when the convention will officially open.
01:21:06 #1340 Oh, John, come in.
01:21:11 #1341 Say, I'm kind of...
01:21:13 #1342 It's raining out a little.
01:21:15 #1343 That's all right. Good to see you.
01:21:17 #1344 Sit down.
01:21:18 #1345 Right. It's for Anne.
01:21:36 #1346 Oh, how nice. Thank you very much.
01:21:39 #1347 Flowers.
01:21:41 #1348 I'm terribly sorry she isn't here. She isn't?
01:21:45 #1349 No, she just left. I'm surprised she didn't run into her.
01:21:47 #1350 She went over to Mr. Norton's house.
01:21:49 #1351 Oh.
01:21:52 #1352 Did you want to see her about something important?
01:21:55 #1353 Yeah, well, no, it'll wait.
01:21:59 #1354 He's a nice man, isn't he, Mr. Norton, I mean?
01:22:02 #1355 He's done an awful lot for the, say, my coats pretty wet.
01:22:15 #1356 I'm afraid I might have wet the couch a little.
01:22:17 #1357 Well, I guess I'll see her at the convention later.
01:22:25 #1358 Yes, of course. I'll see that she gets the flowers.
01:22:27 #1359 Good night, Mrs. Mitchell.
01:22:30 #1360 Good night, John.
01:22:31 #1361 Say, Mrs. Mitchell, I'm kind of glad Anne isn't here.
01:22:44 #1362 I came over here hoping to see her alone.
01:22:47 #1363 I'm hoping I wouldn't too.
01:22:49 #1364 You know what I mean?
01:22:50 #1365 You'll wait, I guess.
01:22:51 #1366 Good night, John.
01:22:52 #1367 Hey, look, Mrs. Mitchell, have you ever been married?
01:23:08 #1368 Oh, I'm sure you have.
01:23:10 #1369 Oh, gosh.
01:23:11 #1370 That's pretty silly.
01:23:13 #1371 I guess you want to think I'm kind of baddie.
01:23:16 #1372 I guess I'd better be going to bed.
01:23:18 #1373 John, my husband said I love you.
01:23:26 #1374 Will you marry me?
01:23:29 #1375 You do?
01:23:30 #1376 Will you marry me?
01:23:32 #1377 You did?
01:23:34 #1378 What happened?
01:23:35 #1379 I married him.
01:23:36 #1380 That's what I mean, see?
01:23:40 #1381 It was easy as all that, huh?
01:23:42 #1382 Yeah, yeah, but look, Mrs. Mitchell.
01:23:46 #1383 You know, I love Anne,
01:23:48 #1384 and it's gonna be awfully hard for me to say it,
01:23:50 #1385 because, well, the best I ever was was a bush-leaf pitcher.
01:23:58 #1386 You know, I think she's in love with another man,
01:24:02 #1387 the one she made up.
01:24:04 #1388 You know, the real John Doe.
01:24:08 #1389 a tough competition. I bet you he know how to say it all right.
01:24:12 #1390 For me I get up to it and around it and back of it but but I never get
01:24:17 #1391 right to it you know what I mean. So the only chance I've got is
01:24:22 #1392 what if somebody could kind of give her a warning sort of sort of prepare for
01:24:27 #1393 the shock. You mean you'd like me to do it. Yeah you know for break the ice
01:24:39 #1394 course I will John this John don't mean going to be one of the biggest
01:25:02 #1395 things that ever happened why they're coming from all over train box cars wagon.
01:25:10 #1396 That's all I know go ahead and have your dinner.
01:25:18 #1397 Hello Mr Camel all right John John I want to have a little talk with you.
01:25:25 #1398 What's the matter are you following.
01:25:28 #1399 Hey boy quite.
01:25:30 #1400 Say tell me something did you read the speech you're going to make tonight
01:25:34 #1401 no I never read the speeches before I make them I get more of a kick out of
01:25:37 #1402 That way. That's just exactly what I thought.
01:25:40 #1403 Beanie, go on down to the office, tell Papa to give you the speech.
01:25:43 #1404 There's a copy on my desk.
01:25:44 #1405 Gee, Wes, boss, you know Mr. Norton told me not to leave you.
01:25:46 #1406 Not even for a minute.
01:25:47 #1407 Go on, go on, go on, we'll be at Jim's bar up to speed.
01:25:52 #1408 You're a nice guy, John.
01:25:54 #1409 I like you.
01:25:56 #1410 You're gentle.
01:25:58 #1411 I always like gentle people.
01:26:01 #1412 Me, I'm hard.
01:26:03 #1413 Hard and tough.
01:26:05 #1414 I'm gonna use it for a hard bit.
01:26:09 #1415 You gotta be gentle to Sidney.
01:26:15 #1416 Like you, for instance.
01:26:27 #1417 I've got a weakness.
01:26:41 #1418 Play this half-span go better.
01:26:46 #1419 Always gets me right here.
01:26:48 #1420 You know what I mean?
01:26:49 #1421 Yeah, it gets me right back here.
01:26:52 #1422 Oh, back there, huh?
01:26:54 #1423 Well, every man to his own taste.
01:27:00 #1424 You weren't old enough.
01:27:03 #1425 You weren't old enough for the world war where you're there.
01:27:05 #1426 Well, you must've been just kidding.
01:27:14 #1427 Just when my old man did when I joined up.
01:27:22 #1428 He joined up too.
01:27:24 #1429 Got to be a sergeant.
01:27:26 #1430 And there's a kick for her.
01:27:28 #1431 You're in the same outfit.
01:27:30 #1432 Funny, huh?
01:27:32 #1433 Me and E.K. Murrow have a scratch.
01:27:57 #1434 That is ex-suffering my ulcers.
01:28:01 #1435 We should be drinking milk, you know.
01:28:08 #1436 This stuff is poison.
01:28:10 #1437 Hey, tell me.
01:28:12 #1438 Yes, Mr. Cannell.
01:28:13 #1439 What do you say, huh?
01:28:14 #1440 All right.
01:28:15 #1441 Stop all my sucker for this country.
01:28:20 #1442 I'm a sucker for the size-bang-o-matter
01:28:22 #1443 and I'm a sucker for this country.
01:28:24 #1444 I like what we got here.
01:28:26 #1445 I like it.
01:28:28 #1446 A guy can say what he wants and do what he wants
01:28:33 #1447 without having to ban it, Shubh, through his belly.
01:28:36 #1448 And that's all right.
01:28:38 #1449 Butch.
01:28:40 #1450 We don't want anybody coming around changing the way I do.
01:28:48 #1451 I get mad.
01:28:49 #1452 I get right about John Adams.
01:28:54 #1453 I get mad for a lot of other guys besides myself.
01:29:01 #1454 I get mad for a guy named Washington.
01:29:04 #1455 and a guy named Jeppe, houses in a foggy world.
01:29:15 #1456 The column stop was pretty rotten, wasn't it?
01:29:27 #1457 Yeah, it certainly is.
01:29:29 #1458 And you feel like an awful sucker
01:29:31 #1459 if you found yourself marching right in the middle of it, wouldn't you?
01:29:34 #1460 Yeah, you.
01:29:36 #1461 Of course you wouldn't know it, because you were gentle.
01:29:39 #1462 No good.
01:29:47 #1463 You're not talking about Mr. Norton, are you?
01:29:54 #1464 I'm not talking about his grandfather's pet portal.
01:29:57 #1465 It's the wrong way to Canal.
01:30:04 #1466 He's been marvelous about the John Doe clubs.
01:30:06 #1467 the John Doe clubs. Yeah. Say you're sold on the John Doe
01:30:12 #1468 I doubt. I don't blame the show my beautiful
01:30:17 #1469 America America going to only happen right here in the good old
01:30:22 #1470 you I say and I think it's terrific what do you think of that me hard
01:30:27 #1471 boy come out and I think it's plenty terrific now suppose in a certain
01:30:34 #1472 Unmissionable worm whose initials are DB was trying to use that to shove his way into the White House.
01:30:43 #1473 So he could put, so he could turn out the lights in those lighthouses.
01:30:53 #1474 What would you say about that?
01:30:54 #1475 Go into that, Mr. Connell.
01:30:58 #1476 They can't use the John Doe clubs for politics. That's the main idea.
01:31:03 #1477 Does that sell?
01:31:04 #1478 Then what's the big political boss like Hammer doing in town?
01:31:08 #1479 And a labor leader like Bennett.
01:31:10 #1480 A lot of other big chests are up at Deebee's house right now.
01:31:13 #1481 What was John?
01:31:15 #1482 What was... waiting to cut up the John Doe's?
01:31:20 #1483 Wait till you get a gander at that species you're gonna make tonight.
01:31:23 #1484 You're all wet.
01:31:24 #1485 Miss Mitchell writes those speeches, nobody can make her write that kind of stuff.
01:31:27 #1486 They can, huh?
01:31:28 #1487 Who do you think writes them, my Aunt Emma?
01:31:31 #1488 You tell her, I know she writes them.
01:31:33 #1489 You get the big bonus for doing them too.
01:31:36 #1490 A main coat and a diamond bracelet.
01:31:39 #1491 Don't write them.
01:31:40 #1492 That gold grab and dame would double cross our own mother for a handful of Chinese yams.
01:31:46 #1493 Shut up!
01:31:47 #1494 If you weren't good, I'd...
01:31:50 #1495 Hey boss!
01:31:52 #1496 Here's the speech, boss.
01:31:54 #1497 Hey!
01:31:55 #1498 Line it right at John and then start socketing.
01:31:58 #1499 Hey, Mr. Doe!
01:32:05 #1500 Turbine!
01:32:06 #1501 Yes?
01:32:07 #1502 Better bring me a glass of milk.
01:32:11 #1503 I'm smoking too much.
01:32:17 #1504 Yes, Charlie. Got everything all set?
01:32:19 #1505 Fine. John Doe been taken care of?
01:32:21 #1506 How many people do you think will be there? 15,000?
01:32:26 #1507 Oh, my. That's fine.
01:32:28 #1508 Now, listen, Charlie, as soon as John Doe stops talking about me,
01:32:31 #1509 I want you to start that demonstration
01:32:33 #1510 and make it a big one. Do you understand?
01:32:35 #1511 Don't worry about that, DB. My boys are there.
01:32:37 #1512 They'll take care of it.
01:32:38 #1513 What? Yes, I'll be there 15 minutes after I get your call.
01:32:41 #1514 Mr. Doe.
01:32:44 #1515 Where are they?
01:32:46 #1516 In the dining rooms.
01:32:47 #1517 Oh, gentlemen, I think we're about ready
01:32:54 #1518 to throw that great big bumper shot.
01:32:56 #1519 Yeah, well, it's about time.
01:32:57 #1520 Even a conservative estimate shows
01:32:59 #1521 We can count on anywhere between 10 and 20 million John Doe votes.
01:33:03 #1522 After that, the labor vote that Mr. Bennett will throw in,
01:33:07 #1523 the votes controlled by Mr. Hammett and the rest of you gentlemen
01:33:09 #1524 in your own territories, and nothing can stop us.
01:33:11 #1525 As I said before, I'm with you,
01:33:13 #1526 providing you can guarantee the John Doe vote.
01:33:16 #1527 Don't worry about that.
01:33:17 #1528 You can count on me on one condition.
01:33:20 #1529 Little Bennett's got to be taken care of.
01:33:21 #1530 Didn't I tell you that everybody in this room would be taken care of?
01:33:24 #1531 My agreement with you gentlemen stands.
01:33:26 #1532 I'm with you, Dee Dee, but I still think
01:33:29 #1533 It's a very daring thing we're attempting.
01:33:31 #1534 These are daring times, Mr. Berington.
01:33:33 #1535 We're coming to a new order of things.
01:33:35 #1536 There's too much talk been going on in this country.
01:33:37 #1537 Too many concessions have been made,
01:33:39 #1538 but the American people need as an iron hand.
01:33:40 #1539 You're right.
01:33:41 #1540 That's true.
01:33:42 #1541 Oh, my right, baby.
01:33:43 #1542 Mr. Berington.
01:33:44 #1543 My right.
01:33:48 #1544 May I offer a little toast to Miss Ann Mitchell?
01:33:51 #1545 The brilliant and beautiful lady who
01:33:53 #1546 is responsible for all this.
01:33:55 #1547 Miss Mitchell.
01:33:57 #1548 Mr. Norton, I'd like to talk to you alone for a minute.
01:34:00 #1549 at least we should have something to say to us. Good bye.
01:34:02 #1550 See you.
01:34:17 #1551 So glad to see you.
01:34:18 #1552 I was terribly worried.
01:34:20 #1553 Did you write this?
01:34:22 #1554 Yes, I did, John, but I had no idea what was going on. You didn't?
01:34:27 #1555 No.
01:34:28 #1556 Well, bracelet you're wearing.
01:34:36 #1557 John, why aren't you at the convention?
01:34:54 #1558 Is there anything wrong?
01:34:56 #1559 No, no, nothing's wrong.
01:34:58 #1560 Everything's fine.
01:35:00 #1561 So there's going to be a new order of things, huh?
01:35:03 #1562 Everybody's going to cut himself a nice, fat slice
01:35:05 #1563 of the John Doe's. You forgot one detail Mr. Big Shot. You forgot me the price to do
01:35:12 #1564 the world. Why if you or anybody else thinks he's going to use the John Doe
01:35:16 #1565 clubs for his own rotten purpose he's going to have to do it over my dead body
01:35:19 #1566 for a whole lot of men and young men hold on that's rather big talk I started
01:35:24 #1567 the John Doe clubs with my money and I decide whether or not they're being
01:35:28 #1568 popular you know you won't you're through deciding anything and what's more I'm
01:35:32 #1569 going down to that convention and I'm going to tell those people exactly what you and
01:35:36 #1570 all your fine feathered friends here are trying to cook up for them and I'm going to
01:35:41 #1571 say it my own word this time.
01:35:49 #1572 Wait a minute wait a minute fellow my uncle wants to talk to you listen to me my son
01:35:54 #1573 before you lose your head completely may I remind you that I picked you up out of
01:35:59 #1574 the gutter and I can throw you right back there again you've got a nerve accusing
01:36:03 #1575 people of things these gentlemen and I know what's best for the John Doe's of America
01:36:07 #1576 regardless of what trends like you think get off that righteous you're the fake we
01:36:15 #1577 believe in what we're doing you're the one that was paid the 30 pieces of silver
01:36:19 #1578 have you forgotten that well I haven't you're a fake John Doe and I can prove it
01:36:24 #1579 you're the big hero that's supposed to jump off tall buildings and things you
01:36:29 #1580 remember what do you suppose your precious John Doe's will say when they find out
01:36:33 #1581 that you never had any intention of doing it,
01:36:34 #1582 that you were being paid to say so.
01:36:36 #1583 You're lucky they didn't run you out of the country.
01:36:39 #1584 With the newspapers and the radio stations
01:36:41 #1585 that these gentlemen control,
01:36:42 #1586 we can kill the John Doe Movement
01:36:44 #1587 deader than a doornail.
01:36:45 #1588 We'll do it too the moment you step out of line.
01:36:47 #1589 Still want to go to that convention
01:36:51 #1590 and shoot your trap off.
01:36:52 #1591 You go ahead and do it.
01:37:02 #1592 You mean to tell me you'll try to kill the John Doe Movement
01:37:04 #1593 if you can't use it to get what you want?
01:37:07 #1594 You bet your bottom dollar we would.
01:37:15 #1595 Well, that certainly is a new low.
01:37:19 #1596 I guess I've seen everything now.
01:37:24 #1597 You sit there back at your big cigars
01:37:26 #1598 and think of deliberately killing an idea
01:37:27 #1599 that's made millions of people a little bit happier.
01:37:30 #1600 An idea that's brought thousands of them here
01:37:32 #1601 from all over the country by bus and by freight
01:37:35 #1602 and jalapes and on foot so they can pass on to each other
01:37:38 #1603 their own simple little experiences.
01:37:41 #1604 Why look, I'm just a mug and I know it
01:37:45 #1605 but I'm beginning to understand a lot of things.
01:37:47 #1606 Why your types is oldest history.
01:37:49 #1607 If you can't lay your dirty fingers on a decent idea and twist it and squeeze it
01:37:53 #1608 and stuff it into your own pocket, you slap it down.
01:37:55 #1609 Like dogs, if you can't eat something, you bury it.
01:37:59 #1610 Why, this is the one worthwhile thing that's come along.
01:38:02 #1611 People are finally finding out that the guy next door isn't a bad egg.
01:38:05 #1612 That's simple, isn't it?
01:38:06 #1613 And the other thing like that's got a chance of spreading till it touches
01:38:09 #1614 every last dog gone human being in the world and you talk about...
01:38:12 #1615 about killing it.
01:38:13 #1616 Or when this fire dies down, what's going to be left?
01:38:16 #1617 More misery, more hunger and more hate.
01:38:19 #1618 And what to prevent that from starting all over again?
01:38:21 #1619 Nobody knows the answer to that one,
01:38:23 #1620 and certainly not you with those slimy,
01:38:25 #1621 bollocks-up theories you got.
01:38:26 #1622 The John Doe idea may be the answer, though.
01:38:29 #1623 It may be the one thing capable of saving this cockeyed world,
01:38:32 #1624 yet you sit back there on your fat hulks and tell me
01:38:34 #1625 you'll kill it if you can't use it.
01:38:36 #1626 Well, you go ahead and try.
01:38:37 #1627 You couldn't do it in a million years
01:38:38 #1628 with all your radio stations and all your power,
01:38:42 #1629 because it's bigger than whether I'm a fake.
01:38:43 #1630 It's bigger than your ambitions,
01:38:45 #1631 and it's bigger than all the bracelets
01:38:46 #1632 and fur coats in the world.
01:38:47 #1633 You bet it is, John.
01:38:48 #1634 And that's exactly what I'm going down there to tell those people.
01:38:51 #1635 I'm in a queue, aren't I? Great.
01:38:56 #1636 Well, right, my uncle's been too good.
01:38:58 #1637 Oh, Lord.
01:38:59 #1638 Pick up Camel.
01:39:41 #1639 I've got the girl here. I've got the bullet.
01:39:43 #1640 I don't care what you're charging with.
01:39:44 #1641 If you're worried, let him go in the morning.
01:39:45 #1642 But keep him in jail overnight. Hello, bulletin.
01:39:48 #1643 I'm sorry, folks, but we can't hear him anymore.
01:45:51 #1644 Something's gone wrong with a loud speaker.
01:45:53 #1645 Who's the fake?
01:45:56 #1646 They can't hear me.
01:45:59 #1647 I was going to be mighty ashamed of ourselves
01:49:03 #1648 after tonight.
01:49:05 #1649 I certainly didn't give that man much of a chance.
01:49:08 #1650 Coffee, John.
01:49:48 #1651 Hi, Mr. Doe.
01:49:50 #1652 You're a wonderful man.
01:49:52 #1653 Thank God for you.
01:49:56 #1654 I'll get in there and catch you.
01:49:57 #1655 Who's the jump-walk tall building son?
01:50:08 #1656 What do you suppose your precious John Doe's will say
01:50:11 #1657 when they find out that you never had any intention of doing it?
01:50:13 #1658 That you were being paid to say so?
01:50:15 #1659 Yes, Missy. Midnight.
01:50:17 #1660 Ha ha!
01:51:13 #1661 John Doe, is that screwball still around?
01:51:17 #1662 James has been calling all day.
01:51:19 #1663 Sure, sure. I know. Yeah. At midnight, huh?
01:51:22 #1664 Okay, lady. We'll have the place surrounded with nets.
01:51:26 #1665 And you better take it easy.
01:51:37 #1666 Whom are you calling now?
01:51:42 #1667 You called that number, not ten minutes ago.
01:51:46 #1668 Hello, Mr. Cannell? Have you seen him yet?
01:51:49 #1669 Now listen, Ann. He can't possibly get in without our seeing him.
01:51:53 #1670 I'm watching the side door and the kernels out front, so stop worrying.
01:51:56 #1671 Ann!
01:52:07 #1672 Don't be foolish.
01:52:08 #1673 If this isn't the craziest, the baddest, the loniest,
01:52:15 #1674 wild goose chase I ever heard of.
01:52:17 #1675 Oh, shut up, Bert. Sourpuss is right.
01:52:18 #1676 Yeah, well, if he is, I'm a banana split.
01:52:20 #1677 That man is gonna be on that roof.
01:52:22 #1678 Don't ask me how I know. I just know.
01:52:24 #1679 And you know as well as I do.
01:52:26 #1680 Sure, sure. I'd like to believe in fairy tales,
01:52:28 #1681 but a guy that's a fake isn't gonna jump off any roof.
01:52:30 #1682 I don't think he was any fake, not with that face.
01:52:33 #1683 And anyway, what he stood for wasn't a fake.
01:52:35 #1684 Okay, honey, okay.
01:52:37 #1685 Elevator's ain't running.
01:52:59 #1686 Come on, Lord.
01:53:00 #1687 Shouldn't we get out of bed, Miss?
01:53:02 #1688 I said, they've been here.
01:53:03 #1689 Have you seen them?
01:53:04 #1690 I ain't seen them for a week.
01:53:05 #1691 Where's Camel?
01:53:06 #1692 He's watching the other door.
01:53:07 #1693 Oh.
01:53:08 #1694 He's here 12.
01:53:10 #1695 There's no sense in going up there.
01:53:16 #1696 I've been here for hours.
01:53:17 #1697 He ain't here.
01:53:18 #1698 Let me go, will you?
01:53:20 #1699 Crazy.
01:53:25 #1700 It's 14 floors.
01:53:26 #1701 The elevator goes.
01:54:11 #1702 We've got to walk up to the tower.
01:54:13 #1703 The camp was probably full of Christmas.
01:55:06 #1704 Oh, I've got to decorate my tree.
01:55:09 #1705 Well, I give up.
01:55:25 #1706 I don't know what gave us the idea
01:55:26 #1707 I guess you're right. I'm afraid the joke's on us.
01:55:29 #1708 Let's go.
01:55:30 #1709 I hope nobody finds out we've been here.
01:55:32 #1710 Isn't too late. The John Doe movement isn't heavy.
01:58:58 #1711 I'm gonna be honest, aren't you?
01:59:00 #1712 Well, you don't have to die to keep the John Doe idea alive.
01:59:47 #1713 Someone already died for that one.
01:59:49 #1714 The first John Doe.
01:59:51 #1715 And he'd kept that idea alive in the early 2000s.
01:59:54 #1716 It was he who kept it alive in them.
01:59:56 #1717 And he'll go on keeping it alive forever and always.
01:59:59 #1718 For every John Doe movement,
02:00:01 #1719 We're every John Doe movement these men kill a new one who'll be born.
02:00:05 #1720 That's why there's bells ringing John.
02:00:08 #1721 They're calling to us.
02:00:09 #1722 Not to give up but to keep on fighting, to keep on thinking.
02:00:13 #1723 Oh, don't you see darling?
02:00:15 #1724 This is no time to give up.
02:00:17 #1725 You and I John.
02:00:19 #1726 Oh no.
02:00:22 #1727 No John, if you die I want to die too.
02:00:26 #1728 You don't have to.
02:00:46 #1729 We're with you Mr. Doe.
02:00:48 #1730 Do we just lost our heads and acted like a mom.
02:00:54 #1731 We need you Mr. Do there were a lot of us that didn't believe what that man said.
02:00:58 #1732 We were going to start up our John Doe club again but we saw you and not where we
02:01:02 #1733 birthed and there were a lot of others that were going to do the same thing.
02:01:06 #1734 Mr. Sark was even got a letter from his cousin and Toledo and I got it right here
02:01:09 #1735 Mr. Doe only only to be a lot easier with you please please.
02:01:16 #1736 John. You will.
02:01:47 #1737 Go take a ride down to the car.
02:01:50 #1738 Right now we've got a car right now.
02:01:53 #1739 They are not in the people trying like that.
