00:02:12Who took the lid off the garbage and let you out?
00:02:15Forget it.
00:02:16Why don't you guys move along now, play someplace else, huh?
00:02:19Well, it's a free street and I always play where I want to.
00:02:24Oh, charge it.
00:02:26Your credit's no good here.
00:02:27Oh, it isn't, huh?
00:02:28No.
00:02:29Well, I'll remember that when I take over this corner
00:02:31and you're paying me for the privilege of working here.
00:02:34Oh, here comes your friend.
00:02:37I'll see you around.
00:02:43Having any trouble with him, Jimmy?
00:02:44Nothing I can't handle.
00:02:48Why don't you smack him?
00:02:50That's the easy way.
00:02:53Hey, here comes the truck, fellas.
00:02:59Hurry on it, Jimmy.
00:03:00Okay, Al.
00:03:05Come on, come on, Jimmy.

00:03:08Yeah.
00:03:0950.
00:03:10Give me 52, huh?
00:03:1150 here.
00:03:12I'll take 50.
00:03:13Okay.
00:03:14Okay.
00:03:15Take care of the rest of those, will you, Jim?
00:03:16Where you going?
00:03:17The school, you know that.
00:03:18Now watch your stance till I come back.
00:03:19Eat all about it.
00:03:20X-3, X-3.
00:03:21Eat all about it.
00:03:22Oh, Jimmy, I have your room all nice and warm for you.
00:03:29Oh, Jimmy, I have your room all nice and warm for you.
00:03:57Nice and warm in here, isn't it?
00:03:59Yeah, thanks, Pop.
00:04:01Did you get the apple I brought you?
00:04:04Here's your racing form.
00:04:06Oh, that's thoughtful of you, James.
00:04:08That'll give me something to read.
00:04:11If you're not going anywhere tonight, I have a couple of passes to the picture.
00:04:16Sure, if you and Gimpy want to go.
00:04:19I'd like to, Pop, but I gotta go to night school tonight.
00:04:21We're having a mock trial, and I'm defending a fellow who murdered.
00:04:24You know, practice in courtroom strategy.
00:04:27Fine, fine, you know, that's what I like about you, James.
00:04:30Your perseverance.
00:04:32I was telling that same thing to Tim Farley this morning.
00:04:35You know, Tim and your father, and we came from the same county.
00:04:38I said to Tim, I says, that boy is going far.
00:04:42And there's nothing gonna stop him.
00:04:45And you know why?
00:04:46Because he sticks to business.
00:04:48Oh, thanks, Pop.
00:04:50I try.
00:04:52And speaking about business,
00:04:54I have an opportunity to make a small investment that'll pay us back big returns.
00:05:00What's the horse's name?
00:05:02Baby G in the fort tomorrow at New Orleans.
00:05:04Thirty to one or more.
00:05:06Not interested.
00:05:07But I have the tip, you might say, right from the horse's mouth.
00:05:10You can't believe a horse, Pop.
00:05:13You ought to know that by now.
00:05:15Well, could you lend me the loan of a dollar?
00:05:19No.
00:05:20That's what I thought.
00:05:22Want your apple back?
00:05:24James, you're always counting.
00:05:26See you later, Pop.
00:05:31O'Toole, you're losing your power of persuasion.
00:05:36Come on.
00:05:37Hey, hey, hey.
00:05:38What's happening here?
00:05:39Come on, boys.
00:05:40Come on.
00:05:41Here's another nickel, huh?
00:05:42Here's another nickel.
00:05:43Let's go.
00:05:46Oh, hello.
00:05:47Want to join?
00:05:48Come on, let's get in.
00:05:49No, no, no.
00:05:50Jimmy's in school.
00:05:51It ain't right.
00:05:52Oh, come on.
00:05:53No, no.
00:05:54It ain't right.
00:05:55You better run along and study your Sunday school papers.
00:05:56Oh, yeah?
00:05:57Yeah, yeah.
00:05:58Run along and tell the boss.
00:05:59All right, boys.
00:06:00Paid me.
00:06:01You paid it?
00:06:03Seven.
00:06:04There it is.
00:06:06What are you guys doing here?
00:06:08Why aren't you on the corner selling papers?
00:06:10Oh, dry up.
00:06:11Who's talking to you?
00:06:14What's the matter?
00:06:15You boys lost your nerve?
00:06:16Come on.
00:06:17Come on.
00:06:18No, not you.
00:06:19You might get spanked.
00:06:20I'll worry about that.
00:06:21Roll them up.
00:06:22Hey, what do you think I'm throwing these for?
00:06:24Exercise?
00:06:25I want to see those dice.
00:06:30Now, next time you want to see them, put down some money.
00:06:32Or else get out and let us make dough.
00:06:35All right, here's $0.15.
00:06:36Come on, boys.
00:06:37Who's going to play it?
00:06:38I'm a sucker to do this.
00:06:39Oh, you're a sucker, huh?
00:06:40All right.
00:06:42Nine.
00:06:4390 days.
00:06:44You ought to get live.
00:06:46All right, you kids.
00:06:47On your feet.
00:06:48I've warned you before.
00:06:49I thought Jimmy told you to keep out of dice games.
00:06:50Well, well, you too, Gimpy.
00:06:51I'm surprised.
00:06:52You can't do nothing to us.
00:06:53It's a free country.
00:06:54It's not free to the likes of you, Spike.
00:06:55And if you open your trap again, it's the back of my hand to you.
00:06:56Come on, now.
00:06:57Get moving, all of you.
00:06:58Where are you taking us?
00:06:59I'm taking you down before the police get here.
00:07:00Come on.
00:07:01Come on.
00:07:02Come on.
00:07:03Come on.
00:07:04Come on.
00:07:05Come on.
00:07:06Come on.
00:07:07Come on.
00:07:08Come on.
00:07:09Come on.
00:07:10Come on.
00:07:11Come on.
00:07:12Come on.
00:07:13Come on.
00:07:14What's going on?
00:07:15I'm taking you down before the judge.
00:07:16I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if he
00:07:17sent you off to reform school.
00:07:18Oh, hello, Burt.
00:07:19How are you?
00:07:20How are things going?
00:07:21What's going on?
00:07:22I'm taking these kids in for playing dice.
00:07:23Ah?
00:07:24Oh, you are?
00:07:25Well, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves,
00:07:26all of you, everyone in this city.
00:07:28Just a minute.
00:07:29Just a minute.
00:07:30Now, you keep out of this, Pop.
00:07:31Well, you're not going to risk it, are you?
00:07:32Oh, I certainly am.
00:07:33But it ain't constitutional.
00:07:34You can't do it.
00:07:35Now you get moving or I'll take you along, too.
00:07:36Come on now.
00:07:37Get going, all of you.
00:07:44You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
00:07:46Come on!
00:07:55Mr. Simpson, you will like this prosecutor.
00:07:57The proposition is this.
00:07:59The defendant is charged with murder.
00:08:01The witness is prepared to testify that the defendant is known to her to be dangerous,
00:08:05a possible murderer.
00:08:07I want you to adventure speeches as you go along,
00:08:10to show me how you can think under pressure before a jury.
00:08:13Very well, Mr. Simpson. Proceed.
00:08:17Ahem. Miss Scott.
00:08:21It is your testimony that this defendant is known to you personally to be a dangerous person.
00:08:26Answer yes or no.
00:08:28I repeat an unequivocal answer, yes or no.
00:08:31Yes.
00:08:31You know this defendant to have definite homicidal tendency.
00:08:36Yes.
00:08:37Your witness, Mr. Keenan.
00:08:40Thank you, Mr. Simpson.
00:08:44Am I to understand you're willing to swear you know my client to be a dangerous person?
00:08:49You know the man who is here on trial for his life to be a potential murderer?
00:08:53I certainly do.
00:08:55You know beyond any question?
00:08:56I do.
00:08:58Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I ask you,
00:09:02do we really know anything except from our own past personal experience?
00:09:06The witness says she knows my client is a dangerous man.
00:09:11The witness says she knows my client has always been a murderer at heart.
00:09:14How does she know?
00:09:16How can she know?
00:09:19How do you know my client has always been a murderer at heart?
00:09:22Did he ever murder you?
00:09:24No.
00:09:26Of course not.
00:09:28We say we know wind will blow out a candle.
00:09:31How do we know?
00:09:33From past experience.
00:09:35We say we know we all must die.
00:09:38Do we know?
00:09:39We haven't died yet.
00:09:43Just a moment, Mr. Keenan.
00:09:45Your speech sounds faintly familiar.
00:09:49Well, I guess it does, sir.
00:09:51Whose is it?
00:09:52Well, I read it in a book.
00:09:54I'll tell you something, though.
00:09:56The man who made that speech got an acquittal on the first ballot.
00:09:59Is that so?
00:10:00Who was he?
00:10:01A man named Abraham Lincoln.
00:10:03I thought so.
00:10:04This is incompetently relevant in a material.
00:10:06And when are you going to stop quoting Abraham Lincoln?
00:10:09I'd say Mr. Keenan could hardly pick a better person to quote.
00:10:12There were many better lawyers than Abraham Lincoln,
00:10:14but there never was a man who could argue more successfully to a jury.
00:10:18Keep it up, Mr. Keenan.
00:10:22Psst!
00:10:25Excuse me, Mr. Wilson.
00:10:27What are you busting in here for?
00:10:29I had to. Burst got all the kids in jail.
00:10:32Wait a minute.
00:10:33I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson.
00:10:35That's all right, Jimmy.
00:10:36Could I be excused now?
00:10:37Of course.
00:10:40It's a terrible thing, Jimmy.
00:10:41Yeah, yeah.
00:10:42Wait till we get outside.
00:10:43Wait till we get outside.
00:10:44What's it all about?
00:10:45Officer Burke caught them shooting dice with that low-down Spike Morgan running the game.
00:10:49Spike?
00:10:50No less.
00:10:51And then Burke took them all to jail.
00:10:52Was Kimbie in the game?
00:10:53Sure.
00:10:54What are you going to do?
00:10:55I don't know.
00:11:04Nick's not in the courtroom.
00:11:06What's the matter?
00:11:07You caught two?
00:11:11All right, you boys.
00:11:12Stand up.
00:11:15On your feet.
00:11:18Take off your hats.
00:11:37Come on.
00:12:01What's your name?
00:12:03Gimpey.
00:12:05Gimpey?
00:12:06What's your real name?
00:12:08William McKinley Smith.
00:12:10William McKinley Smith.
00:12:13Well, that's a pretty fine name for a gambler.
00:12:24Your name's Morgan, isn't it?
00:12:26That's right.
00:12:27I thought so.
00:12:28You've been here before?
00:12:30Yeah.
00:12:32Advice doesn't seem to do you much good.
00:12:37You boys know what I've got to do to you.
00:12:40Officer Burke here has warned you repeatedly.
00:12:43Especially you, Spike.
00:12:45Officer Burke didn't want to bring you to the court.
00:12:48And I don't want to have to punish you.
00:12:51But I've got to teach you a lesson before it's too late.
00:12:54As for you, Spike,
00:12:56a few years in reform school might do you some good.
00:12:59And you other boys...
00:13:02Jack.
00:13:05Can I say something?
00:13:07Who are you?
00:13:08My name's Keenan, James Michael Keenan.
00:13:10Officer Burke knows me.
00:13:11Yeah, I know. I mean, run the news to him.
00:13:13Some of these kids work for him.
00:13:15Well, what is it?
00:13:17Well, according to the Constitution,
00:13:19a defendant has the right to select his own counsel, doesn't he?
00:13:21Does he, Mr. Keenan?
00:13:23Yes, sir.
00:13:25Well, how about it?
00:13:26Am I your lawyer?
00:13:28Come on, come on!
00:13:32All right.
00:13:33I understand the charge is gambling.
00:13:35That's right.
00:13:36It says in the statute books that to convict for gambling,
00:13:39you must have witnesses.
00:13:42How much did you lose?
00:13:44Or did you win?
00:13:45Huh?
00:13:47There we are, Judge.
00:13:49No wins, no losses, no gambling.
00:13:51Oh, I've had enough of this.
00:13:52Judge, if an officer strikes a counselor during a case,
00:13:54that's contempt of court, isn't it?
00:13:56You seem very well versed in the law, Mr. Keenan.
00:13:59I'm studying it.
00:14:00Yes, I suspect of that.
00:14:02Well, what will happen if I let your clients go home?
00:14:06Well, they won't be back here again, sir.
00:14:08You seem very sure of that.
00:14:10Well, if they want to keep on working for me,
00:14:12they've got to stop.
00:14:14Very well.
00:14:16I'll place you all on probation to Mr. Keenan.
00:14:20That's all.
00:14:21Thank you very much.
00:14:22All right, on your way, on your way.
00:14:25Burke.
00:14:27Tell me about that boy.
00:14:29You've heard of Tap Keenan?
00:14:31The racketeer?
00:14:32The big shot.
00:14:33That's his brother.
00:14:34Well, he doesn't act like a racketeer's brother.
00:14:36No, sir, and he never did.
00:14:38Who's the little crippled boy?
00:14:40He lives with Jimmy.
00:14:41Works for him.
00:14:42Jimmy's taken care of him ever since the poor little fella's
00:14:44mother died.
00:14:45That's two years back.
00:14:46No parents, eh?
00:14:47Well, he ought to be in an orphanage some.
00:14:49If you ask me, Your Honor, Jimmy's the only one
00:14:51Well, he ought to be in an orphanage some.
00:14:53If you ask me, Your Honor, little Gimpy couldn't have a
00:14:55better home or finer care than he's got right where he is.
00:14:58Quite a lad, this Keenan boy.
00:15:01They call him the Abe Lincoln of Ninth Avenue.
00:15:03Why?
00:15:04He's trying to pattern his life after Lincoln.
00:15:07But he's not growing up hence Abe Lincoln had.
00:15:10All right, come on, come on.
00:15:11I don't owe you a dime.
00:15:13How much did he take off you with those crooked dice?
00:15:16A dollar and 12 cents.
00:15:18Yeah, and when we got pinched, he grabbed up all the
00:15:20money in the game.
00:15:22All right, you're going to hand it over or am I going to
00:15:24tell my friend the judge I can't be responsible for you?
00:15:27Yeah, all right.
00:15:29Don't do it again.
00:15:31You're not telling me.
00:15:32I'm telling you, don't get any of my kids in the game again.
00:15:35I'd like to have a talk with that boy.
00:15:38See if you can find him.
00:15:40Yes, Your Honor.
00:15:42You better get that stand of yours cleaned up too,
00:15:44Mr. Keenan.
00:15:45For what?
00:15:46Because any day now, I'm taking over the corner.
00:15:49Well, why don't you try it tonight?
00:15:51Well, I'm waiting till your big brother gets what's coming to him.
00:15:54Then you can't yell to him for help.
00:15:56I don't need any help from my big brother and you don't...
00:15:58Oh, Jimmy.
00:15:59Judge Carroll wants to see you.
00:16:01What's he want to see me for?
00:16:03He's your friend, ain't he?
00:16:04Get going, Spike.
00:16:06Yeah, you fellas better go on back to the stand.
00:16:08Gibbs, wait here for me with Pop, will you?
00:16:10This way.
00:16:20Judge, I apologize for interrupting your proceedings
00:16:23the way I did a moment ago.
00:16:25I hope I wasn't in contempt.
00:16:27Oh, that's all right.
00:16:28Your apology is accepted.
00:16:30Where are you studying law?
00:16:3210th Avenue Night School.
00:16:34Who's your teacher?
00:16:35Mr. Wilson.
00:16:36Mr. Wilson?
00:16:37Oh, I know Mr. Wilson.
00:16:39Good man.
00:16:40I think I'll have to call him up about you,
00:16:43if only to suspend him for a while.
00:16:46I think I'll have to call him up about you,
00:16:48if only to suggest that he give you some special tips
00:16:51on courtroom etiquette.
00:16:53Now, for instance, when you interrupt the judge,
00:16:56try saying, uh, if your honor please.
00:16:59It flatters him.
00:17:01Sometimes helps your case.
00:17:03Oh, I see what you mean, your honor.
00:17:05Come up here a minute.
00:17:11Things look a little different from here, don't they?
00:17:14Yes, sir.
00:17:15You've got quite a problem assuming responsibility
00:17:17for all those boys.
00:17:19Well, I'm used to problems, sir.
00:17:21I'll guarantee the behavior of my boys.
00:17:24How about the Morgan boy?
00:17:26Well, he doesn't say things the way you and I do, judge.
00:17:31He hasn't had our advantages.
00:17:33Well, there's something to that.
00:17:35Isn't he sort of an enemy of yours?
00:17:38Well, I never let myself think I had any.
00:17:41Your ideal had many enemies.
00:17:43Yes, but malice towards none.
00:17:46Here's a book might interest you.
00:17:49The Humorous Side of Lincoln.
00:17:52I've never read that.
00:17:54It was that side of him that made him so human and just.
00:17:58I can understand that.
00:18:00Pretty hard to have a sense of humor when the going's tough.
00:18:03It's true.
00:18:05How's your paper business going?
00:18:07Pretty good.
00:18:09Gonna be able to go to college?
00:18:11Well, I hope to have enough saved up, yes, sir.
00:18:14Doesn't your brother aid you financially?
00:18:16No.
00:18:17He has plenty.
00:18:19Well, I can't use that kind of money, sir.
00:18:23You know, Jimmy, it takes a long time for a young lawyer
00:18:26to make a decent living.
00:18:29He did all right.
00:18:32That's right.
00:18:34Well, counselor, come in and see me again sometime.
00:18:37Thank you, your honor.
00:18:39Goodbye.
00:18:40Goodbye.
00:18:44Gee, he's been with a judge for a long time.
00:18:48Yes, they take it.
00:18:50Say, that's a hunch.
00:18:51The judge in the court tomorrow.
00:18:53What?
00:18:54You know what'll happen when you leave the stand again, don't you?
00:18:57I'll get a new boy, that's all.
00:18:58That's right.
00:18:59If it hadn't been for me hurrying to your rescue,
00:19:01you'd be in jail right now.
00:19:02You know that.
00:19:03OK, Pop.
00:19:04Well, I'm just looking out for your interest, James.
00:19:06Thank you very much.
00:19:07You couldn't have been.
00:19:08Huh.
00:19:13Oh.
00:19:15I'll never shoot dice again as long as I live.
00:19:17Never.
00:19:18No?
00:19:19No, sir.
00:19:21When we're friends again.
00:19:22OK, I'll forgive you this time.
00:19:38Spike, huh?
00:19:39Who else?
00:19:40And after what you did for him with the judge.
00:19:42What are we going to do about it?
00:19:44What are we going to do about it?
00:19:45You guys are going to clean it up, that's what.
00:19:47If you hadn't been shooting dice, this wouldn't have happened.
00:19:50Come on.
00:19:51All right, all right, all right, fellas.
00:19:54We ought to be dragging Spike over here and making him do this.
00:19:57Yeah, even if he had to break his dirty neck.
00:19:59Yeah.
00:20:00We ought to be dragging Spike over here and making him do this.
00:20:02Yeah, even if he had to break his dirty neck.
00:20:04Yeah, even if he had to break his dirty neck.
00:20:06Yeah, even if he had to break his dirty neck.
00:20:08He's pro to Jim.
00:20:09He ought to tell the judge about it.
00:20:11Nah, Jim don't need to be no squealer.
00:20:12He can lick poor guys like Spike.
00:20:14But he don't like fighting.
00:20:15He wants everything according to law.
00:20:17Yeah.
00:20:28There's the next one you can sell, Kenan.
00:20:37Do you want any more?
00:20:38Yeah.
00:20:39Give me another hundred.
00:20:41Okay, Al.
00:20:46Gee, Jimmy's brother's in a jam again.
00:20:49Listen to this.
00:20:50Again as often in the past, police will question Tap Kenan,
00:20:53but nobody seriously expects he will be held very long.
00:20:55They'll never get him.
00:20:56Oh, he gets away with it every time.
00:20:58I wonder if he did the shooting.
00:20:59Nah, he probably hired somebody.
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:01You guys got to talk or sell paper.
00:21:03You guys got to talk or sell paper.
00:21:05Oh, boy, will he sell.
00:21:11Jimmy, don't go after Spike till we get back, huh?
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:14Maybe we ought to take guns, too, huh?
00:21:19I'll let her get you.
00:21:22What a pity.
00:21:24They ain't got such a bad place.
00:21:28No charge.
00:21:34Is that any way to sell papers?
00:21:36No.
00:21:37Extra paper!
00:21:40Extra!
00:22:03General Investments Incorporated.
00:22:05No, I'm sorry.
00:22:06Mr. Kenan doesn't answer.
00:22:08General Investments Incorporated.
00:22:10I'm sorry, I can't call Mr. Kenan.
00:22:12Could I see Mr. Kenan?
00:22:17I'd like to see Mr. Kenan.
00:22:19I'm sorry, Mr. Kenan isn't seeing anyone today.
00:22:21Well, tell him it's his brother.
00:22:29Mr. Kenan, there's a boy here who says he's your brother.
00:22:33He says he'd go right in.
00:22:37General Investments Incorporated.
00:22:48That's how much I want from that guy, and don't come back without it.
00:22:51Scram.
00:22:54What do you know?
00:22:57It's been so long since I saw you, I wouldn't know you.
00:22:59I know you.
00:23:01Sure, I'm always in the paper.
00:23:02See my picture in the extras?
00:23:04Not very good.
00:23:05I'll have to have some new ones made.
00:23:08Smoke?
00:23:09No.
00:23:10Good thing you don't.
00:23:12I taught a kid like you smoking to knock your ears down.
00:23:14Come on, sit down.
00:23:17How do you like the office?
00:23:18It's all right.
00:23:20I had a big year.
00:23:21Pretty soon I'm going to own the whole building.
00:23:23I got a system, kid.
00:23:25The more I get, the more I want.
00:23:26The more I want, the more I get.
00:23:27That's the secret of my success.
00:23:29I want you to remember that.
00:23:31Yeah, yeah, I'll remember.
00:23:33What are you doing?
00:23:35I own a newsstand.
00:23:37So I make the news and you sell it, huh?
00:23:39At last we're in business together.
00:23:41That's the way it should be.
00:23:42Where do you live?
00:23:43I got a nice room in the basement in the old house we used to live in.
00:23:46In the basement?
00:23:49I have neglected you.
00:23:51Well, now that I'm in the money, what would you like to be?
00:23:54I want to be a lawyer.
00:23:55That's great.
00:23:56Smart.
00:23:57You know what I pay my mouthpiece?
00:23:5925 grand a year.
00:24:00I'll tell you what.
00:24:01I'll put you through college, give you 50 bucks a week, car.
00:24:04You can come and live with me and then when you graduate, you'll work for me.
00:24:07That's the setup.
00:24:08Come on, what do you say?
00:24:09I'll take you out and buy you some clothes and dial you all up.
00:24:11Can't have a brother of mine going around looking like that,
00:24:13selling papers and living in a basement.
00:24:15Oh, I'm doing all right.
00:24:17All right?
00:24:18Come on, come on.
00:24:19I'll show you my place.
00:24:20Wait till you see where I live.
00:24:23I can't right now, Ted.
00:24:25Why not?
00:24:27Well, you wouldn't remember what day it is.
00:24:30According to the paper, it's still Friday.
00:24:32So what?
00:24:33So it's Mother's birthday.
00:24:35I always take her some clothes.
00:24:37That's right.
00:24:38I'll go with you.
00:24:42Got a big bunch of flowers.
00:24:44Oh, I don't care, 50 or 100 bucks.
00:24:46Is that all right?
00:24:47Red roses with the big long stems?
00:24:49No, I got them.
00:24:51Some violets.
00:24:52She always liked them, remember?
00:24:54In there?
00:24:55Yeah.
00:24:57Never mind.
00:25:00You're a funny kid.
00:25:03Okay, let's go.
00:25:25Does something to you in there.
00:25:37Makes you feel kind of ashamed.
00:25:39Darling?
00:25:40Does it do that to you?
00:25:42Sure.
00:25:43Leaving that cheap headstone on Mom's grave all this time.
00:25:46When I get back to the office, I'm going all over new ones.
00:25:48Something special, big.
00:25:50Maybe an angel with wings on it.
00:25:52I want you to help me figure it out.
00:25:54Doesn't mean anything else to you, huh?
00:25:56Nothing else.
00:25:57What else?
00:25:59Well, truthfully, I thought bringing you down here might help you remember what you promised Mom.
00:26:04Sure, I remember.
00:26:05I promised her I'd look after you, didn't I?
00:26:07Well, I'm going to do it, just like I said.
00:26:09You've forgotten the rest, huh?
00:26:11About going straight, keeping decent, and amounting to something.
00:26:14Oh, so that's it.
00:26:15You don't think I amount to anything.
00:26:17I'm glad she isn't here to see what you turned out to be.
00:26:21I don't see any difference between you and any common thief.
00:26:24Now listen, kid, you're talking to your brother.
00:26:26You're no brother of mine from now on.
00:26:30I don't know.
00:26:32Hey, what are you doing?
00:26:33What are you hiding here for?
00:26:35Go on, beat it!
00:26:37What are you crying about?
00:26:39I ain't crying, I'm mad.
00:26:41Who broke your stick?
00:26:43Nobody. Can't you leave me alone?
00:26:45Will you come over here to tell me exactly what happened to you?
00:26:47Let it out!
00:26:48Let it out!
00:26:49Come along here now.
00:26:50Jimmy?
00:26:51Let it out!
00:26:52Jimmy, someone broke his stick, and he won't say who.
00:26:54Who did it?
00:26:56Come on, who did it?
00:26:57He thinks I'm scared.
00:26:58He thinks I'm little.
00:26:59I'll show him!
00:27:01I'll get him.
00:27:08Spike, huh?
00:27:10A star on the corner selling my papers, and he says I didn't have any business there.
00:27:13Then he took my crutch and broke it.
00:27:15I'll get him.
00:27:19Take it easy.
00:27:34Hey, tough guy.
00:27:35Pick on me if you want to, but stay away from that little kid.
00:27:42Now keep off my corner.
00:27:46Ain't you going to do nothing about it?
00:27:48No, no, I got to be smart.
00:27:50Tell the judge.
00:27:52Let's get the rest of those monkeys, Jim.
00:27:54You stick around here.
00:27:55Next time something happens to this can, I'm going to take it out of your pay.
00:27:58All of you.
00:28:01Paper, 9 edition here.
00:28:02Paper, sir.
00:28:03Paper, 9 edition, madam.
00:28:04Paper, madam.
00:28:059 edition here.
00:28:06Don't act like you're carrying me.
00:28:09Paper, madam.
00:28:119 edition here.
00:28:13Paper, madam.
00:28:15Merry Christmas, Jimmy.
00:28:18What you do that for?
00:28:19It's Christmas, ain't it?
00:28:20Sure.
00:28:21And that's Santa Claus.
00:28:23Yeah.
00:28:24There ain't no Santa Claus.
00:28:26Oh, I see.
00:28:27I'm going to have trouble with you now, huh?
00:28:29How do you know there ain't no Santa Claus?
00:28:31What do you ever do for me?
00:28:33You haven't been a good kid.
00:28:35I never brought me anything before I knew enough to be there.
00:28:39How would you feel now if he did bring you something this Christmas after a crack like that?
00:28:43Here.
00:28:44Don't make me laugh.
00:28:48Why can't you get it into your head that when you give, you receive?
00:28:51When you do a good deed, you get paid back twofold.
00:28:56Say, Pop, get me something to fix this crutch, huh?
00:28:58Right, I got something here in the box here.
00:29:00Make some coffee, Jim.
00:29:01Sure.
00:29:04You know what that kid needs, Pop?
00:29:06What?
00:29:07Something he never had in his life.
00:29:09A Christmas tree.
00:29:10See, that's a great idea, Jimmy.
00:29:13Will you get him one?
00:29:14Sure, I will.
00:29:15And I'll string popcorn myself and put it all over the place.
00:29:19Get him a swell one with a lot of lights and stuff to hang over it, too.
00:29:23You think three dollars will cover all that?
00:29:24Three dollars?
00:29:25I'll bet you I'll have change left.
00:29:27Well, here.
00:29:28Here's the three bucks.
00:29:29All right.
00:29:30Here you are.
00:29:32His eyes will stick out like a fish, I'll bet you.
00:29:35Well, get a good one, you know.
00:29:36Not too small.
00:29:37No.
00:29:44Your crutch will be ready in a minute, Jim.
00:29:46Thanks for fixing it, Jimmy.
00:29:47Don't thank me.
00:29:48Thank Pop.
00:29:49Huh?
00:29:50Yeah, he's fixing it now.
00:29:51How much did you give him?
00:29:52Not a cent.
00:29:53I bet he borrowed something then.
00:29:55What's the matter?
00:29:56Don't you trust anybody?
00:29:57No.
00:29:58What are we going to do about Spike?
00:30:00We're going to ignore him.
00:30:01What?
00:30:02I-G-N-O-R-E-D.
00:30:04I-G-N-O-R-E-D.
00:30:05I-G-N-O-R-E-D.
00:30:06I-G-N-O-R-E-D.
00:30:07I-G-N-O-R-E-D.
00:30:08I-G-N-O-R-E-D.
00:30:09We're going to ignore him.
00:30:10What?
00:30:11I-G-N-O-R-E-D.
00:30:13Ignore him.
00:30:14If he'd only say the word, we could lick his whole gang.
00:30:17The argument's over.
00:30:20I get tired of having somebody always fight my battles.
00:30:24If I was a little bigger...
00:30:26If you were bigger, you'd be dumber.
00:30:28You'd be fighting every minute and not saving up any brains.
00:30:31Yeah, I know.
00:30:32Honesty's the best policy.
00:30:33Keep out of trouble.
00:30:34Don't cheat.
00:30:35Don't gamble.
00:30:36Don't fight.
00:30:37A lot of don'ts and nothing left to do.
00:30:44It's a cinch for you.
00:30:45You got talent and everything.
00:30:50Yeah.
00:30:51Yeah, it's easy for me.
00:30:53Yeah, but it's tough on a fellow like me with different ideas.
00:30:58Now be quiet, will you?
00:30:59I got some studying to do.
00:31:03Peace on Earth.
00:31:04I can't seem to get that Christmas spirit business.
00:31:07You will.
00:31:08Well, I'll try.
00:31:11Atta boy.
00:31:13But I'm still glad you socked Spike.
00:31:18It's important to remember that a lawyer comes to court prepared.
00:31:22But a truthful witness is not prepared.
00:31:24He has thought so much about the facts as he knows them
00:31:26that he is no longer sure what is fact and what is fiction.
00:31:30Too bad he didn't poke the other two guys.
00:31:33An intelligent lawyer can take advantage of a witness's mind
00:31:36ethically and justifiably
00:31:38in his effort to separate truth from imagination.
00:31:41So what?
00:31:42So where were you on the night of November 8th?
00:31:44How do I know?
00:31:45Hey.
00:31:46And how do you know it was a black car?
00:31:48It might have been a green car or blue or even maroon.
00:31:51And how far were you from the corner when it happened?
00:31:53When what happened?
00:31:54You can't get out of it that way.
00:31:56How do you know that was John Doe in the back seat?
00:31:58You don't know.
00:31:59And yet you dare to perjure yourself.
00:32:00You come here with a well-learned story, more fiction than fact.
00:32:03You dare to say you saw the shot fired.
00:32:05I never saw nothing.
00:32:06Yes, you did. You saw the girl in red.
00:32:08Otherwise, your whole story is a lie.
00:32:10You weren't on the corner at all.
00:32:11And if you weren't, where were you?
00:32:12Well, can't you remember?
00:32:13Only eight months ago, 7.14 p.m., the night of the murder.
00:32:15What kind of a witness are you?
00:32:16Answer me yes and no once and for all and stop screaming.
00:32:19And remember the penalty for perjury.
00:32:21You swear upon your oath that there was no other weapon
00:32:24in your overcoat pocket except the shotgun.
00:32:26Do you or do you not?
00:32:28Do you feel all right?
00:32:30Huh?
00:32:33Maybe you've got a fever, huh?
00:32:34What?
00:32:35You've been acting awful funny.
00:32:38Here's your stick.
00:32:39Shh.
00:32:40What's the matter?
00:32:41Something's wrong with him.
00:32:42You'd better call a doctor.
00:32:43A doctor?
00:32:44Oh, give him some coffee.
00:32:45That'll fix him all right.
00:32:57Your Honor, I charge this witness with falsifying the facts.
00:32:59And I demand that he be punished for perjury
00:33:01to the full extent of the law.
00:33:03Now look what you did.
00:33:04I did?
00:33:05Did you do that?
00:33:06Yes, you let the coffee pot run over.
00:33:07You ought to get 30 days for perjury.
00:33:08For, for, for, for.
00:33:09All right, I'm crazy too.
00:33:11Take me away.
00:33:24Hello, Pops.
00:33:25Hello, how are you?
00:33:26You looking for a nice Christmas tree?
00:33:27Yes, I'm looking for a nice one.
00:33:29But you don't seem to have much here.
00:33:31Oh, what is it?
00:33:32For a big party, small party, or just the family?
00:33:35It's a grand party.
00:33:36It's going to be a big party.
00:33:38And I want a tree big enough to hold all the decorations
00:33:40I'm going to put on it.
00:33:41I'm going to have popcorn strung all over it.
00:33:43I'm going to have apples and oranges hanging down
00:33:44and decorations all over it.
00:33:46Well, how about this one here?
00:33:48How much is that?
00:33:50For you, my friend, I'll give it to you for a dollar.
00:33:54Well, how much is this $0.50 one here?
00:33:56Oh, half a dollar.
00:33:58No, I'd like something in between the two,
00:34:00something for about $0.75, I think.
00:34:03I got just the one for you.
00:34:05Look, this one here for $0.75.
00:34:09Oh, I guess I'll take a look around.
00:34:11So, now, how about something to eat?
00:34:15Turkey.
00:34:16Turkey, huh?
00:34:17Yeah, come here.
00:34:18See this turkey here?
00:34:19She's nice and thin.
00:34:20When you got a bottle, fix them up, all you have to do
00:34:22is put them inside of the oven, and she cook by herself.
00:34:25And when you start to taste it, it's going to taste
00:34:27a choice like wild turkey.
00:34:29Wild turkey.
00:34:30Yes, wild turkey.
00:34:31Wild turkey.
00:34:32And this tree.
00:34:33Wild turkey.
00:34:34Nice leaves and everything.
00:34:35Wild turkey.
00:34:36Can't defeat.
00:34:37Wild turkey.
00:34:38Let me see.
00:34:39Wild turkey.
00:34:40Wild turkey.
00:34:41Wild turkey.
00:34:42What are you doing that for?
00:34:44Because it's closing time.
00:34:45What's new for tonight?
00:34:46We never closed this early before.
00:34:48Well, this is Christmas.
00:34:50What's wrong with you?
00:34:51Not a thing in the world.
00:34:53Come on, we're going home.
00:34:54Why?
00:34:55Will you stop asking so many questions?
00:34:57Merry Christmas.
00:34:58Merry Christmas, Jimmy.
00:34:59Merry Christmas.
00:35:00Merry Christmas, boys.
00:35:01People will think you're crazy.
00:35:03Maybe I am.
00:35:14Thank you, Jimmy.
00:35:15The same fellow you're doing it for.
00:35:17So what?
00:35:21Just in case I'm wrong.
00:35:28Good thing Christmas only comes once a year.
00:35:30Why?
00:35:31You'd have us broke.
00:35:37If we can get to work, let's go look in the windows.
00:35:39No, we've got something better than that.
00:35:41I've got a surprise for you.
00:35:42What's the surprise?
00:35:43I've got a surprise for you.
00:35:45I've got a surprise for you.
00:35:46What's the surprise?
00:35:47Now you wait and see when you get inside.
00:35:53Can't you tell me now?
00:35:54No, no.
00:35:59Close your eyes.
00:36:01How can I see with my eyes closed?
00:36:03Close your eyes.
00:36:09Ready?
00:36:10One, two, three.
00:36:12Open your eyes.
00:36:16Well?
00:36:18Wait for me.
00:36:19I'll be right back.
00:36:25Hey, Pop.
00:36:35Be here.
00:36:38Where's the paint?
00:36:39Well, you see, Jimmy, I...
00:36:41You didn't get it.
00:36:42I didn't get it.
00:36:43You see, Jimmy, I...
00:36:44You didn't get it.
00:36:45What happened to the three dollars?
00:36:47Well, I went in the store to get the tree,
00:36:49and I was looking at the tree,
00:36:50and right standing in the pace was a great big turkey,
00:36:53and it was marked three bucks,
00:36:54and I thought for an hour...
00:36:56The other day I saw a horse named Wild Turkey in the form sheet,
00:36:59and I said to myself,
00:37:00I'll put the three dollars on Wild Turkey,
00:37:02and we'll have a bigger Christmas than you thought we'd have,
00:37:04and you see, I'll get the turkey in the tree.
00:37:06Okay, okay.
00:37:07Don't spoil a little kid's Christmas.
00:37:13Okay.
00:37:31Well, where's the surprise?
00:37:33Well, look, I was going to get a tree,
00:37:36and then I thought,
00:37:37well, it's kind of childish, you know.
00:37:39We're grown up.
00:37:41What happened?
00:37:43Well, I gave Pop a couple of bucks to get a tree,
00:37:46and he lost it.
00:37:47Lost it?
00:37:48He spent it.
00:37:49I'll get it back.
00:37:50Sit down.
00:37:51Forget about it.
00:37:52It's too late now.
00:37:54You give and you receive, huh?
00:37:56You get Spike out of jail and he wrecks your stand.
00:37:59You do a good deed and you get it back double.
00:38:01You give Pop some dough and you never see it again.
00:38:04None of you still believe in that stuff?
00:38:06Yes.
00:38:10I've been looking for you.
00:38:11Why?
00:38:12Never mind why.
00:38:13Come on.
00:38:14He didn't do anything.
00:38:15You stay here, Gimpers.
00:38:16You've got to go to jail.
00:38:17I'm going, too.
00:38:18You'll keep out of this.
00:38:21What's this all about?
00:38:22No use asking questions.
00:38:24Move along.
00:38:25Move along.
00:38:36Here he is.
00:38:37Hello, Jimmy.
00:38:38Hello, Your Honor.
00:38:40Jimmy, it's my custom every Christmas
00:38:42to have some of the boys in my district
00:38:44up for tree and turkey.
00:38:46Now, if you can get away,
00:38:48how would you like to come and bring up your boys?
00:38:50All five of them?
00:38:51As many as you like.
00:38:52We've got a big turkey.
00:38:53Well, we'd love it.
00:38:55Sure.
00:38:56See you tomorrow evening then, eh?
00:38:57Yes, sir.
00:38:58All right.
00:38:59Good night.
00:39:00Good night.
00:39:01We'll be there.
00:39:02Good night.
00:39:04Huh.
00:39:05Now what do you say?
00:39:06Well, I haven't got pinched.
00:39:07I've never met the judge.
00:39:09Did you ever see a more hard-boiled guy?
00:39:16Your bath is ready, milord.
00:39:18Don't you think it's kind of dangerous
00:39:20this time of the year?
00:39:21I might catch pneumonia.
00:39:22You might catch something else
00:39:23if you don't get in there and take your bath.
00:39:25And no storm.
00:39:26Behind the ears, too.
00:39:28Well, if you don't mind,
00:39:30No storm.
00:39:31Behind the ears, too.
00:39:46Well, here goes.
00:39:48Oh!
00:39:50Oh, golly, this is cold!
00:39:54Oh!
00:39:55Oh!
00:39:57Oh, golly, this is cold!
00:39:59Seven years ago, our fathers brought forth to this continent
00:40:04a new nation conceived in liberty
00:40:09and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
00:40:12Oh!
00:40:14Oh!
00:40:21Oh!
00:40:24Oh, this is cold!
00:40:26Oh, that this nation under God
00:40:28shall have a new birth of freedom
00:40:30and that the government of the people, by the people,
00:40:32and for the people,
00:40:34shall not perish from this earth.
00:40:36Oh, golly!
00:40:37I'll get pneumonia sure!
00:40:41Oh, golly!
00:40:43Oh, my head!
00:40:45When are we gonna get a bigger bath, Tom?
00:40:52Is that something?
00:40:54Eight years of that make a fella feel good.
00:40:56Sure glad you made me take one.
00:40:58Oh, you're glad, huh?
00:41:00Oh, hey, fella, how about something else?
00:41:02Did you forget?
00:41:04Get your mind clean now, too.
00:41:07Don't forget anything.
00:41:18And please don't let Jimmy find out I didn't take a bath.
00:41:24Well, that's that.
00:41:26Yep, that's that. Here we go.
00:41:28Hey, don't you trust me? I don't care.
00:41:30No, I don't.
00:41:31Talk this over, Tom.
00:41:32No way. You try and pull the cover on me, huh?
00:41:34Sure.
00:41:35I was only fooling.
00:41:37Yeah, well, I'm not.
00:41:39I shouldn't even take you to the party.
00:41:41Maybe I don't want to go.
00:41:43Well, that suits me.
00:41:45Better be a good dinner the way I'm suffering.
00:41:49Sure.
00:41:51Look at that.
00:41:52Enough dirt behind them ears to grow potatoes.
00:41:56Oh, it's cold.
00:41:58Cold? It's warm. Hey, feel it.
00:42:00I'm getting pneumonia.
00:42:02You'll get pneumonia. You'll get nothing.
00:42:04You'll pay a big doctor, Bill.
00:42:05Yeah.
00:42:09Close your eyes.
00:42:18Hold still.
00:42:20And remember, first time Judge Carroll saw you, he almost put you in jail.
00:42:23So watch your step tomorrow.
00:42:26And as soon as you see him, take off your cap.
00:42:28Why?
00:42:29Don't ask so many questions.
00:42:31Say yes, sir, and no, sir, to him.
00:42:33And whatever they have to eat, you don't want any second helpings.
00:42:36Don't I?
00:42:37No.
00:42:38You remember now.
00:42:41Yes, sir.
00:42:45It's going to be a real Christmas.
00:42:47Oh, it's cold.
00:42:48No.
00:42:49Cold.
00:42:51There we are.
00:42:54Now.
00:43:08Well, here I am.
00:43:09Oh, Uncle, a tree looks grand.
00:43:11Well, I got all the presents. I hope they're all right.
00:43:14Thanks for helping me out, Ann.
00:43:16They'll do, I'm sure.
00:43:17I don't know a thing about your guests.
00:43:19What did you get them last year?
00:43:21Oh, last year I had a little trouble.
00:43:23They all wanted guns.
00:43:25Guns?
00:43:26Oh, my.
00:43:27I got things like harmonicas and necklaces.
00:43:29The influence over them, I think he has.
00:43:31Well, let's go over the list.
00:43:32I have some tags.
00:43:33The list?
00:43:34Well, where is the list?
00:43:35Oh, here.
00:43:36I've got it here.
00:43:37Now, let's see.
00:43:39There's Jimmy, Jigsy, Beansy, Sammy, and Gimpy.
00:43:44Well, there isn't any lead of the names, is there?
00:43:46I'll have to eeny meeny them.
00:43:48No, you'll make out, I'm sure.
00:43:53Uncle Joe, are you sure these boys won't resent my being here?
00:43:57Why should anyone resent it?
00:43:59Especially these boys who've probably never met anyone like you before.
00:44:03Well, I only meant that, well, maybe I'll hold them down.
00:44:06Well, I hope you do.
00:44:08Oh, mind you, these boys were all right. They're perfectly normal.
00:44:11They've had a bad environment, no fit homes, grim surroundings.
00:44:16You know, they need to meet somebody like you, somebody to look up to.
00:44:21You have a wonderful influence on them.
00:44:24But this Kenan boy, how did he overcome his background?
00:44:28Well, that's very unusual.
00:44:30Instead of climbing a ladder to a second-story window, he's climbing one to an ideal.
00:44:38He seems to have faith in himself and faith in everybody.
00:44:41Why, he even said a good word for an incorrigible in my court.
00:44:45So that's what you see in him, a reflection of yourself.
00:44:49Oh, no, no, no comparison.
00:44:52Why, I have everything and more.
00:44:55Here's a boy with practically nothing who goes out of his way to help people.
00:44:59Why, he's even taken care of a cripple.
00:45:02Gimpy.
00:45:03Yes, Gimpy.
00:45:05Why, I have everything, everything I could wish for.
00:45:09But here's a boy who figuratively sits by the fireside with a shingle, a piece of charcoal,
00:45:15studying law, working on a career, asking no favors from anybody.
00:45:21Say, by the way, you mustn't make him think we're doing him a favor today.
00:45:27I'll tell you what we'll do.
00:45:29We'll make believe we're giving his body for the little fellow.
00:45:31We'll make him the guest of honor.
00:45:34You know, I think I'm giving his body for myself.
00:45:37I'll have more fun out of it than they do.
00:45:39But not any more than I will.
00:45:45Thanks for letting me be here, Uncle Jeff.
00:45:47Oh, you're half party.
00:45:50Now, let's see.
00:45:52Oh, there's Jimsy, Jigsy, Beansy.
00:45:56Oh, I've got to write all these things out here.
00:46:01Bet nobody's home.
00:46:03Better be. I kept from eating all day.
00:46:05Gene, look at the table.
00:46:07Come on, come on, you guys.
00:46:09Now, look out.
00:46:11Merry Christmas.
00:46:13Come on in, boys.
00:46:15Any more out there?
00:46:16All right, come on, let's get out of here.
00:46:18Merry Christmas, boys.
00:46:19Merry Christmas, Jimmy.
00:46:21I think we've all met before.
00:46:25Merry Christmas.
00:46:26Merry Christmas, Jimsy.
00:46:27Come on in, everybody.
00:46:30Hey, it's a nice place you got here.
00:46:32Yeah.
00:46:40Oh, well, Gene.
00:46:42Gene, look at you.
00:46:43What, Gene?
00:46:44That's what you've been doing.
00:46:49Oh, look at that.
00:46:50Can you put those two down there?
00:46:51Oh, sure, of course.
00:46:52Right there.
00:46:53Which one?
00:46:54That one.
00:46:55Oh, all right.
00:46:56Did you get it?
00:46:57Yeah.
00:47:03Gee.
00:47:05It's the kind that grows out of the ground.
00:47:09I have it sent down from my farm in Maine.
00:47:12Hear that, Jimmy?
00:47:13It's from the woods.
00:47:14Sure, it's from the woods.
00:47:15Got a big place in there.
00:47:16Yeah, oh, yes.
00:47:17We got a lot of them trees on it.
00:47:18Mm, fine.
00:47:19Look at it.
00:47:22Oh, look at that.
00:47:23Oh, look at that.
00:47:24Oh, look at that.
00:47:25Oh, look at that.
00:47:26Oh, look at that.
00:47:27Oh, look at that.
00:47:28Oh, look at that.
00:47:29Oh, look at that.
00:47:30Oh, look at that.
00:47:31Oh, Jimmy, I want you to meet my niece, Miss Carol.
00:47:45And this is Mr. Keenan.
00:47:47Yes, I know.
00:47:48I've heard all about the promising young attorney.
00:47:50You have?
00:47:51I'm Jitzy.
00:47:52How are you?
00:47:53How are you?
00:47:54I'm Danny.
00:47:55How are you?
00:47:56Merry Christmas.
00:47:57Oh.
00:48:01So this is Kimpey. Merry Christmas, Kimpey. Merry Christmas.
00:48:08Here it is, Judge. You want to take a look at this bread while it's still one piece?
00:48:15Boy, look at it. Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Big as a house.
00:48:19Look at the size of it, would you?
00:48:21Gee, look at the size of the thing.
00:48:27The People versus Tee Gobbler. Are we ready for trial?
00:48:30People are ready, Your Honor.
00:48:31And the defense?
00:48:33Oh, the defense is ready, Your Honor.
00:48:35Let's go to trial.
00:48:48The court will be seated.
00:48:52Miss District Attorney, what do you intend to prove?
00:48:56I intend to prove, Your Honor, that Mr. Tee Gobbler is guilty of hoarding grain, living on the fat of the land, and thereby producing a distressing state of hunger among the people.
00:49:06He sure is. He's about 25 pounds guilty. He's been hoarding chestnuts and oysters.
00:49:15It is the judgment of this court that the estate of Mr. Tee Gobbler be divided into equal portions to satisfy the appetites of the people.
00:49:27Now, who's going to get a leg?
00:49:30I think Gimpy would rather have white meat.
00:49:33Yes, he would.
00:49:40Don't you want some celery or olives first?
00:49:44Don't you want any salad?
00:49:56No.
00:50:16You sure paid your debt to society.
00:50:20Well, boys, if you can stagger in after that dinner, I have a little business to transact here.
00:50:26I mean, Your Honor, that's the first time I've had pie and pudding at the same meal.
00:50:39We were short one, so I had to take one of your neckties.
00:50:43Now, let's see. Here's the first package. When we find out who this is for, this is for Mr. Jimmy.
00:50:56Order in the court, or I'll have you all up for contempt.
00:51:02Jiggy, who's Jiggy?
00:51:03That's me.
00:51:04Hey, for me. Thanks.
00:51:05Who's that for?
00:51:06Blackfoot.
00:51:11Oh, here. Here's for Sammy. Oh, Sammy, for you.
00:51:13Well, I guess that's all, isn't it?
00:51:19Oh, wait a minute. Here's another one. William McKinley Smith.
00:51:27Is there anyone in the house named Smith?
00:51:31Oh, that's me!
00:51:37Uh, William Smith. Here's another one.
00:51:41Oh, boy.
00:51:42McKinley Smith. And here's one Smith.
00:51:50All right, now boys, now open them up. Come on.
00:52:02James Michael Keenan, Counselor at Law.
00:52:06Oh, Your Honor. Oh, thank you so much.
00:52:11From you. Oh, thanks. Thanks an awful lot.
00:52:15I'll have to become a great lawyer now, just so I can carry it.
00:52:18Well, I'm sure it won't be long. But you haven't looked inside. Go on, open it.
00:52:26The Humorous Side of Lincoln. Oh, Your Honor, I don't...
00:52:31Speak! Speak! Speak!
00:52:36I'm not prepared to speak, and I ask the court to grant me a postponement.
00:52:41Granted.
00:52:51Hey, look here. I'm going to go camping. I've got a knife.
00:52:57Don't wreck it. Wait a minute.
00:53:00Wait a minute.
00:53:31What do you say?
00:53:39Hey, what's this for you?
00:53:41Here you are, boys. Here you are.
00:53:44Yes, sir.
00:53:45Silent night. Holy night.
00:53:55All is calm. All is bright.
00:54:04Round yon virgin, mother and child.
00:54:12Holy infant so tender and mild.
00:54:21Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace.
00:54:39Silent night. Holy night.
00:54:49All is calm. All is bright.
00:54:59Round yon virgin, mother and child.
00:55:09Holy infant so tender and mild.
00:55:18Sleep in heavenly peace.
00:55:28Sleep in heavenly peace.
00:55:40I don't know when we're going to eat all that. I won't be able to eat it for two days.
00:55:43What are you going to do with it?
00:55:45You're going to give it to Pop.
00:55:46After he spent all your money?
00:55:49I'm sorry.
00:55:51Merry Christmas.
00:55:52Merry Christmas, Pop. For you.
00:55:55Yes, sure, look.
00:55:56Ice cream?
00:55:57Look, pumpkin pie.
00:55:58Orange juice?
00:55:59Cherry pie. Apples and oranges.
00:56:00Candy in there?
00:56:01Candy canes, too. Look at that.
00:56:03What's the matter?
00:56:06Nothing.
00:56:09It's the first Christmas I've had in years.
00:56:11Oh, come on, now. None of that.
00:56:13Right back at you.
00:56:14Shut up.
00:56:15His niece gave me that.
00:56:16Now you believe in Santa Claus?
00:56:18Yeah, how about it?
00:56:19Do I believe in Santa Claus? And what do you...
00:56:45Hurry up, I'm going.
00:56:46You want an extra, let me know where it is.
00:56:48Hurry.
00:56:49Hurry up.
00:56:53What are you standing around for? Go on, sell your papers. Hurry up.
00:56:56Extra, read all about it.
00:56:58Extra, extra, read all about it here.
00:57:01Well, I think I'll get rid of this foreign language stuff.
00:57:03You know, fellas, it's the only way to make a living.
00:57:05It's the only way to make a living.
00:57:07It's the only way to make a living.
00:57:09It's the only way to make a living.
00:57:11It's the only way to make a living.
00:57:13It's the only way to make a living.
00:57:14You know, fellas, there's no business in it.
00:57:16You'll build a new stand and...
00:57:20There goes your protection, kid.
00:57:22So the big shot brother's running away, huh?
00:57:24I guess you'd better get after him because I'm taking over the corner from now on.
00:57:28A fine couple of mugs your mother raised.
00:57:32Nothing now.
00:57:33Did Spike try to move in on you again?
00:57:35Yeah, but Jimmy moved him out.
00:57:39Come on, you folks, get moving. The show's over.
00:57:41Come on, get that car out of there.
00:57:43Get that car out of there.
00:57:53Where's that Keenan kid?
00:57:54Oh, Jimmy.
00:57:56Heard what happened to your brother, didn't you?
00:57:58Yeah, sure.
00:57:59Seen him around here lately?
00:58:01No.
00:58:02Any idea where he is?
00:58:03No, sir.
00:58:04Sure about that?
00:58:06Yeah.
00:58:07He's telling you the truth, Sergeant.
00:58:08He don't have nothing to do with his brother. He never did.
00:58:11Well, he's certainly not going to help him now.
00:58:13I'll vouch for him.
00:58:14Okay.
00:58:15Go, Sergeant.
00:58:16Yeah.
00:58:17All right.
00:58:18Let me take a look at you.
00:58:21You better go home and get that thing fixed up.
00:58:23I'm all right.
00:58:24You're not all right. No, no, go on home.
00:58:25Go on, go on.
00:58:26All right.
00:58:27Calling all cars.
00:58:28Tap Keenan seen near 10th Avenue and 30th Street.
00:58:32Tap Keenan seen near 10th Avenue and 30th Street.
00:58:36Come on, let's go.
00:58:42Shh.
00:58:50Lay off it.
00:58:52Cap.
00:58:54Hello, kid.
00:58:55Anybody with you?
00:58:59What are you doing?
00:59:00They're hot after me. I'm in a jam.
00:59:02Yeah, I know.
00:59:03They finally caught up to you.
00:59:04Not me. This is a great spot. They'll never find me here.
00:59:07No, they won't.
00:59:08That's the spirit, kid.
00:59:09Look, I got a lot of dough to put away.
00:59:11But we'll have to lay low for a while.
00:59:12Then I'll send you after the dough.
00:59:13We'll blow town, change our name.
00:59:15Everything will be great.
00:59:16We'll be riding on top of the world.
00:59:17Proceed to 9th Avenue and 18th Street District.
00:59:20Tap Keenan has just been seen in that neighborhood.
00:59:27Is that the only way to get out of here?
00:59:29There's a door.
00:59:30What are you driving at?
00:59:31I told you to leave me alone.
00:59:32I told you to keep away from me.
00:59:34You've made things tough enough.
00:59:35Now, you're not going to use this place for a hideout.
00:59:37You get out of here or I'll turn you in.
00:59:39Why, you little yeller.
00:59:41Turn who in?
00:59:42Your own brother, your own flesh and blood?
00:59:43You're not going to turn anybody in.
00:59:46Come on, Ali.
00:59:47We take the front.
00:59:48Work for the boss.
00:59:52Well, then, why don't you go out there and take what's coming to you?
00:59:54You think I'm crazy and wind up in a hot seat?
00:59:56They'll have to come in and get me.
00:59:57Can you use me, Sergeant?
00:59:58Yes.
01:00:05Hey, Bill. Come here.
01:00:06Both of you, Miller. Come on.
01:00:07I'll blast the first guy that comes through that door.
01:00:09And I'll blast you if you make a move.
01:00:11Go ahead. They'll hear you.
01:00:28Get out, Ken.
01:00:29All right, Jimmy.
01:00:30Come on. Take him out of here.
01:00:33I'll get you for this, you little yeller.
01:00:34Come on. Out he goes.
01:00:35Come on.
01:00:39Give him to me.
01:00:40Give him to me.
01:00:41Give him to me.
01:00:42Take it easy, Jimmy.
01:00:43Take it easy.
01:00:44He's been shot.
01:00:45Call a doctor.
01:00:46Get an ambulance.
01:00:47Call a doctor.
01:00:48Do something.
01:01:06Kimpey.
01:01:09Kimpey.
01:01:12Can you hear me?
01:01:18Hiya, Jimmy.
01:01:23I'm sorry.
01:01:26I ain't sorry.
01:01:32You're going to be all right now.
01:01:35You're going to get well.
01:01:38Beat your ears off if you do.
01:01:41I ain't scared.
01:01:44Do you think they'll put my picture in the paper?
01:01:47Maybe?
01:01:48Sure.
01:01:50Sure, sure they will.
01:01:53Do you think they'll put out an extra?
01:01:59You're a hero, ain't you?
01:02:06Okay.
01:02:21Things are kind of slow, Jim.
01:02:22Do we have to stick around?
01:02:23Yeah.
01:02:24There'll be an extra out in a minute.
01:02:35Extra.

01:03:03You know where I just come from?
01:03:05The hospital.
01:03:07If he's coming home tomorrow,
01:03:09he's fit as a fiddle,
01:03:11but he's mad as a hornet.
01:03:13You know why?
01:03:15They made him take a bath every day.
01:03:18Keenan dies in chair.
