00:02:19No, I'm expecting a car.
00:02:22Oh, you're welcome.
00:02:24I don't seem to be.

00:02:39What's it like you're praying for?
00:02:41Get up, please.
00:02:42Wait a minute.
00:02:43Who are you?
00:02:44Get up.
00:02:45Turn around a minute.
00:02:49You don't want this, do you?
00:02:50Anyway, it isn't yours.
00:02:53Disgusting.
00:02:54There you are, Mary, darling.
00:02:58The lady is quite finished with it.
00:03:06Would you like some spit?
00:03:08No, thank you.
00:03:09Nothing I can do.
00:03:11Well, you can take those to the end of the pier.
00:03:14What, all of them?
00:03:15Oh, never mind.
00:03:17Don't trouble.
00:03:19Paris, London.
00:03:21Paris, London.
00:03:23Paris, London.
00:03:24You've been to Paris?
00:03:26Yes.
00:03:27Doing what?
00:03:28Finishing school.
00:03:29Ah.
00:03:30Finished being finished?
00:03:32Yes.
00:03:32Good.
00:03:33Your penny, please.
00:03:38My what?
00:03:39Your penny landing fee.
00:03:40But I've landed.
00:03:41Oh, your penny, please.
00:03:43There's a gentleman there with my luggage.
00:03:45Very goodness.
00:03:46Will you please observe?
00:03:49I hate me hand to pigeon my pooch.
00:03:54What are you doing with these?
00:03:55We're Miss Victoria's driver.
00:03:57Oh, I see.
00:03:58Come on, let's get some.
00:03:58Not that is mine.
00:03:59Here you are.
00:04:01Miss Victoria.
00:04:02I'm Victoria.
00:04:05That's a grand name.
00:04:06Oh, come on.
00:04:07Hey, please.
00:04:09Hi.
00:04:09Hey.
00:04:19You're here.
00:04:19Hi.
00:04:20Gloria Hegarty. Open in the name of the law. And no nonsense, do you hear? Looks like we'll have to affect an entry.
00:04:39Aye, looks like we'll have to affect an entry.
00:04:44Look what you're doing, man. Will you confine your operations to the door?
00:04:48Stop it now. Would you be having me house a heap of ruins and me and Patsy in the midst of them?
00:04:52Aye, Patsy will lift her. Bring him out and let him come quiet.
00:04:55He is nothing of the thought. Come quiet.
00:04:57Then I'll break the door, do you?
00:04:59Just you try it.
00:05:01One, two, three.
00:05:06You're obstructing the law.
00:05:07It's the law's obstructing me.
00:05:08It'll all go against him.
00:05:09What's he done? And him as innocent as a newborn angel.
00:05:12You should have paid the license.
00:05:13License, is it?
00:05:14If a grand big cunt of the like of this is needing seven and sixes from the like of me,
00:05:18it's time it went on the dough the same as the rest of us.
00:05:21Ah, man, dear.
00:05:22It's not the license money.
00:05:23It's the fine.
00:05:25Five pounds.
00:05:26Aye, for persistent infringement.
00:05:27Oh, where would the like of me get five pounds?
00:05:29Standing next to naked in the dead of summer,
00:05:31with the wind whistling down from up the pole,
00:05:33and me trying to sell ice cream for a bunch of frozen corpses.
00:05:36Ah!
00:05:38Patsy!
00:05:38Patsy!
00:05:39Get him, Donald.
00:05:39Don't have a fond love.
00:05:40Come on, Daddy.
00:05:41You should have been serious.
00:05:42Don't hold him like that.
00:05:43We don't have a fond love.
00:05:44You're a queen of riffraff.
00:05:45Away we're here to beat and glory you to this.
00:05:46Give our great lion's neighbor satsun.
00:05:47Go with the territorial.
00:05:48Why would you know bringing your gun?
00:05:50It's a thief and that's what it is.
00:05:51It's massacry.
00:05:52I'll have the law on you so I will.
00:05:53Patsy!
00:05:54I'll have the law on you so I will.
00:05:55Patsy!
00:05:56Patsy!
00:05:57I'll have the law on you so I will.
00:05:58Patsy!

00:06:00Patsy!
00:06:01Patsy!

00:06:10Patsy!
00:06:11I'll come on to you so I will!
00:06:14Patsy, my lovely Patsy!
00:06:29Well, who are you?
00:06:31Look, I'm Maggie!
00:06:33Where's Jesse?
00:06:34She left.
00:06:35You'll be Miss Victoria?
00:06:36Yes.
00:06:37I'm sorry, I can't help it.
00:06:39Oh, it's okay by me.
00:06:41That's a relief.
00:06:43Where's the provost?
00:06:44Oh, your dad's busy.
00:06:45And what's all this?
00:06:46A football match?
00:06:47It's politics.
00:06:48He's in the old Bailey calendar.
00:06:50I see.
00:06:52Well, go and unpack my things, will you?
00:06:54Okay.
00:06:55And don't say okay.
00:06:57What-o?
00:06:58Oh, and tell me.
00:07:00Why did Jessie leave?
00:07:02Oh, she didn't approve.
00:07:04Citizens of Bickey, in full confidence of your loyalty,
00:07:09I, your provost, invite your presence at my inaugural meeting
00:07:12at the Town Hall Bickey on Friday next.
00:07:14Signed, William Goe.
00:07:17Good daddy calendar.
00:07:18Aye, a bit personal.
00:07:20Oh, that's it, don't you see? Psychology.
00:07:22Oh, psychology.
00:07:24Loyalty.
00:07:25Ah, it's a fine word.
00:07:26They can't resist it.
00:07:28Hello, Vicki.
00:07:31My dear.
00:07:32Father.
00:07:33Oh, it's grand to see you again.
00:07:36How are you, Bailey?
00:07:38Mum, but you've turned into a great mother.
00:07:40Changed days since you fell into my pigsty.
00:07:43Yes, yes, don't bother about pigsty's now.
00:07:44We've got to get to that council meeting.
00:07:46Talking of meetings, you might have met me at the pier.
00:07:48Oh, I'm sorry about that, Vicki, but it was absolutely impossible.
00:07:51Your father's a busy mum.
00:07:53There's great events for tending.
00:07:55I'm, ahem, I'm standing for Parliament, Vicki.
00:07:58I know that.
00:07:59I've seen a few posters.
00:08:00But you don't know why I'm standing.
00:08:02You see, Vicki, these are exceptional times.
00:08:05And such times require exceptional measures.
00:08:09And exceptional men.
00:08:11Hear, hear.
00:08:12Being promised of bake is all very well in its way, but...
00:08:15Did you do this calendar?
00:08:17Yes.
00:08:18Well, I've done my best for the place.
00:08:21Tried to keep it up to date.
00:08:22I've built them a new town hall.
00:08:24A new swimming pool.
00:08:25The most elaborate public conveniences.
00:08:27A cursile for the tourists.
00:08:29I hope you haven't spoiled Bakey father.
00:08:31They said in the advertiser that I'm the best administrator in the country.
00:08:34I'm sure you're a great success.
00:08:36I should be.
00:08:37I work hard enough.
00:08:38Tomorrow, I'm opening the Croy cattle show.
00:08:41And I have my big election meeting at night.
00:08:44And the day after, now this is strictly confidential, Vicki.
00:08:47Lord Scarifor is coming.
00:08:49Who's Lord Scarifor?
00:08:50Why, the leader of the party, of course.
00:08:52Oh.
00:08:53You'll note that he comes to see the provost.
00:08:55The provost doesn't go to see him.
00:08:56Well, he knows I have the Caledonia League behind me.
00:08:59And it's not, Vicki, or Scotland.
00:09:02But Scotsmen all over the empire.
00:09:05Aye, it's a big thing.
00:09:06A grand big thing.
00:09:07There's no saying how big it may be.
00:09:09If I pull this off, the time may come
00:09:11when I shall be listened to by the whole world.
00:09:21The profession of journalism is an honorable one.
00:09:24What?
00:09:25The profession of journalism is honorable.
00:09:28Oh.
00:09:29Oh, yes, Father.
00:09:30I have nothing to be ashamed of in the conduct of my paper.
00:09:33What?
00:09:34I have nothing to be ashamed of.
00:09:37Oh, good.
00:09:38Nothing sensational ever enters my columns.
00:09:41Why not?
00:09:42I said.
00:09:43Yes.
00:09:44Sit down.
00:09:45Yes.
00:09:46Oh, no, not there.
00:09:47Over there.
00:09:48Oh, I'm sorry.
00:09:49Yes.
00:09:50Mr. Burden.
00:09:51You've joined the most widely read people on the west coast.
00:10:00I suppose people have nothing else to do.
00:10:01Will you have a cigarette, sir?
00:10:02No smoking in hours.
00:10:03Oh.
00:10:04Mr. Burden.
00:10:05A reporter on the advertises a position of very great trust.
00:10:09Now, I'm away to Manchester tonight, but unfortunately my sub-editor's in bed.
00:10:12Oh, I'm sorry.
00:10:13What's the trouble?
00:10:14He's got lumbago.
00:10:15Oh.
00:10:16Oh.
00:10:17But the point is, I promised our provost to page in tomorrow's issue, and you will have
00:10:23to take the interview and see it through the press.
00:10:26Now, can you do that, Burden?
00:10:28No smoking.
00:10:29Well, it is, of course.
00:10:32Yes.
00:10:33What's the article about?
00:10:35Well, provost Gow standing for the new party.
00:10:38What's new about it?
00:10:39For one thing, Scotland for the Scottish.
00:10:41Oh, does somebody else want it?
00:10:43That'll do, Burden.
00:10:45Mrs. Scalvin.
00:10:47Horace, we'll miss that train.
00:10:50Well, I'm waiting for you.
00:10:51Oh, Mr. Burden, my wife.
00:10:54How do you do?
00:10:55How do you do?
00:10:56Oh, well, you can't expect the colonel's lady to know the statutory man's mate.
00:11:00I beg your pardon?
00:11:02Oh, well, I'll way over to the town hall.
00:11:05They'll just about get the provost.
00:11:06Yes, sir.
00:11:07The town hall's that ghast direction opposite, isn't it?
00:11:09I'll have you know the provost built that.
00:11:12Oh.
00:11:13Well, then I'll take another look at it.
00:11:16What a little brat.
00:11:18Oh, he's English, I think.
00:11:21Well, let's away with you, Mr. Train.
00:11:23I'll look in on Willie and say goodbye.
00:11:25Oh, what for?
00:11:28With this lovely town hall.
00:11:42Is that all?
00:11:43Yes, provost.
00:11:44Well, that'll do then.
00:11:46You'll be coming into the meeting soon.
00:11:48Bailey Callender's having a sore time in the chair.
00:11:50I'll be around in a minute.
00:11:51Now clear out.
00:11:53Oh, Victoria, you'd better go off into the gallery to see the fan.
00:11:57Father, can I ask you something?
00:11:59Well, I'm rather busy.
00:12:00Why did you sack Jessie?
00:12:01Jessie?
00:12:02What?
00:12:03Oh, the parlor maid.
00:12:04She got a bit above herself, Vicki, and Lisbeth very kindly disposed of her for me.
00:12:07Lisbeth?
00:12:08Now, who's mentioning my name?
00:12:09Why, Victoria?
00:12:10I wouldn't have recognized you.
00:12:11How nice of you to look in and welcome me back.
00:12:12Yes.
00:12:13You've quite grown up, dear.
00:12:14Well, Willie, I just looked in to say goodbye.
00:12:15That was good of you, Lisbeth.
00:12:16I'll be back in time for the meeting.
00:12:17Oh, don't you worry.
00:12:18I couldn't do without you on the platform.
00:12:19No, I don't think you would.
00:12:20I don't think you would.
00:12:21I don't think you would.
00:12:22I would.
00:12:23I would.
00:12:24Well, I must dash now, or Horace will have the jitters.
00:12:25Horace, Horace?
00:12:26Oh, just his old self.
00:12:27Horace, Horace!
00:12:28Now, now, gentlemen, please.
00:12:29Please, please.
00:12:30I'll be back in time for the meeting.
00:12:31Yes.
00:12:32You've quite grown up, dear.
00:12:33Well, Willie, I just looked in to say goodbye.
00:12:34Well, Willie, I just looked in to say goodbye.
00:12:35That was good of you, Lisbeth.
00:12:36I'll be back in time for the meeting.
00:12:37Oh, don't you worry.
00:12:38I couldn't do without you on the platform.
00:12:39No, I don't think you could.
00:12:40Well, I must dash now, or Horace will have the jitters.
00:12:43Horace, Horace?
00:12:44Oh, just his old self.
00:12:46Horace!
00:12:47Horace!
00:12:48Horace!
00:12:49Horace!
00:12:50Horace!
00:12:51Horace!
00:12:52Horace!
00:12:53Now, now, gentlemen, please.
00:12:54You're wasting time.
00:12:55The province is deciding.
00:12:58Next business.
00:12:59Item number seven.
00:13:00The bathing drawers for the instructors at the new swimming pool.
00:13:04As chairman of the Cleansing and Parks Committee, I have looked into these drawers very carefully.
00:13:10And they certainly present some problems.
00:13:13Now, this is the sort of garment I would suggest.
00:13:16But, Mr. Deputy Chairman, the instructors complain that they're no practical.
00:13:20They cannot swim in them.
00:13:21So bear up against the old problem.
00:13:24Whether we select the unscutted and elongated, or the scutted and abbreviated.
00:13:31In other words, either we decide upon an adequate drapery with limited mobility,
00:13:37or desirable mobility with an inadequate drapery.
00:13:42Neither, in my opinion, are really satisfactory.
00:13:44We have to satisfy the...
00:13:46I move that the bathing drawers lie on the table.
00:13:48Sit down.
00:13:49Next business.
00:13:50Item number eight.
00:13:51Supply of new hose for the fire brigade.
00:13:54Hello.
00:13:55Hello.
00:13:56What are you doing here?
00:13:57Oh, just getting up to date.
00:13:59She won't get that way here.
00:14:00This is a very serious matter.
00:14:02Mr. Sein, that's got nothing to do with the question.
00:14:04I move that the whole matter be postponed for further investigation.
00:14:07What, Mr. Provost?
00:14:08Will you kindly resume your seat?
00:14:09Next business.
00:14:10I hope a bearing's not a bloke, isn't he?
00:14:11Who?
00:14:12The headmaster.
00:14:13Mr. Provost, with regard to my objection to that discipline...
00:14:14Don't bring that up again, please.
00:14:15You made a mistake.
00:14:16I don't think so.
00:14:17The trouble is, you don't think at all.
00:14:18Next business.
00:14:19She's not very careful, she'll put in a corner and give him a thousand lines.
00:14:20Right and yes.
00:14:21I have an application from Ross, the stoker of municipal laundry, asking for a rise at
00:14:26half a time a week.
00:14:27On what grounds?
00:14:28The same old grounds.
00:14:29His good ladies presented him with twins.
00:14:30In my view, if we grant this application, we're only asking for a fourth pair of twins.
00:14:33I have an application from Ross, the stoker at the municipal laundry, asking for a rise at half a time a week.
00:14:39On what grounds?
00:14:40The same old grounds.
00:14:41His good ladies presented him with twins.
00:14:43In my view, if we grant this application, we're only asking for a fourth pair of twins.
00:14:47Serving right if he had four pairs of twins.
00:14:49On second thoughts, thank the Lord he hasn't.
00:14:54Gentlemen, we have something more important to discuss than Mr. Ross's weekly milk bill.
00:15:00We'll hand the matter to the Ways and Means Committee.
00:15:02We will now discuss my scheme for publicising Bakey throughout the country as a tourist resort.
00:15:07You have copies of the detailed memorandum I've drawn up.
00:15:11And I'll assume that you've all taken the trouble to read it.
00:15:18The fellow gives me a pain in the neck.
00:15:22Oh dear.
00:15:23Honoria.
00:15:25Mackellar, where in heaven's name have you been?
00:15:27You can't come here.
00:15:28No, I can't do anything else.
00:15:29I can't sit here with my two hands folded in front of me like patients on a document.
00:15:33But they're about to adjourn.
00:15:34The provost will be coming.
00:15:35It's himself I'm after.
00:15:37Oh, he won't see you, Honoria.
00:15:39He won't avoid it.
00:15:42Well?
00:15:43There was one important item that was new on the agenda.
00:15:45We are wanting your authorisation for the purchase of new nasturtium plants for the orphanage.
00:15:49What happened to the old ones?
00:15:50Why, the orphans ate the seeds.
00:15:52Oh, they did, did they?
00:15:53Aye.
00:15:54I'll look into that, Mr. Thompson.
00:15:55Thank you, Mr. Provost.
00:15:56One moment, Mr. Provost, Your Honor.
00:15:57You know all about me.
00:15:58It seems I know all about you.
00:15:59It is myself, Honoria Hegarty.
00:16:00Yes, ma'am.
00:16:01Not a word now.
00:16:02I know what you're going to say.
00:16:03Don't say it.
00:16:04It's all very fine and large and it's the law, don't I know?
00:16:06And I know you can't make exceptions.
00:16:07They tell me all that at the office.
00:16:09And I know it's all in the book of words, but it's what I'm telling you.
00:16:11It is all nonsense.
00:16:12Will you kindly stop talking and get out of my way?
00:16:14Listen, Honoria.
00:16:15Why before should I be listening?
00:16:16Sir.
00:16:17Joe, what do you want?
00:16:18Nothing.
00:16:19I was told I had to interview you.
00:16:20Oh, you're from the advertiser.
00:16:21Do you mind coming home with me?
00:16:22Not at all.
00:16:23I'll wait till you return it to this lady.
00:16:24Your Honor, it's not meself I'm thinking of.
00:16:26It's Patsy.
00:16:27My little Patsy.
00:16:28He's the heart and soul out of me body and I'm telling you no lie.
00:16:31If he goes, I go too.
00:16:33Up to heaven among the blessed saints.
00:16:35And it'll be all your fault.
00:16:36If you annoy me any further, I'll have you locked up.
00:16:38Come along, Mr. Burden, but...
00:16:40Are you coming?
00:16:45Sure.
00:16:53Get in.
00:17:00Go on, then.
00:17:06Move up.
00:17:07Oh, this is my daughter, Victoria.
00:17:09Move up.
00:17:10How do you do?
00:17:11How do you do?
00:17:15If you knew my Patsy, you wouldn't have a grin the like of that from East to West all over your face.
00:17:19Oh, yeah, I know him all right.
00:17:21What's that?
00:17:22You know him?
00:17:23Well, in a manner of speaking, he's lodging here with me.
00:17:25You're coddling me.
00:17:26Look at my chest, Honorio.
00:17:28Patsy, me darling boy.
00:17:30The light of his mother's eyes.
00:17:32Oh, me beautiful Patsy.
00:17:34Me lovely Patsy.
00:17:35And what in the name of the holy apostrophe is he doing here in your unclean apartment in a wooden box?
00:17:40But can I have him at the police station?
00:17:43You see, it's this way.
00:17:44The police sergeant's bull terrier bitch shit.
00:17:48Well, what is it, man?
00:17:49Speak out.
00:17:52Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:17:54I'm seeing I'm the bar officer.
00:17:56I've given him a little custody.
00:17:57Isn't he the fine little fella?
00:17:59Oh, he's that, Honorio.
00:18:01He eats like a weak order.
00:18:02He loves his bread and milk for breakfast.
00:18:04Oh, I made him a nice bowl of rice.
00:18:06Ah, he's treating you all right, darling.
00:18:09Well, I feel kind of funny with a wee brute.
00:18:14He makes a sort of condemned cell atmosphere about my lodgings.
00:18:19What's that?
00:18:21They're not going to.
00:18:23You don't mean.
00:18:24Aye.
00:18:25They can't, they can't.
00:18:36Come along, come along.
00:18:37Yes.
00:18:38Sit down.
00:18:39Oh, thank you.
00:18:40No, no, not there, not there, not there.
00:18:41No, no.
00:18:42I hear you're turning politician, Mr. Gow.
00:18:43Politician?
00:18:44Ah, statesman.
00:18:45Father wants to be Prime Minister of the first Scotch Parliament.
00:18:46Scottish, Vicky.
00:18:47Scottish.
00:18:48Help yourself to a Scottish in soda.
00:18:49I'll leave you to it.
00:19:03Hi.
00:19:04What's your name?
00:19:05You there.
00:19:06What?
00:19:07Oh, just a second, Mr. Gow.
00:19:09Oh.
00:19:10There's no call to be jumping about like a French poodle in this house.
00:19:13Sit down.
00:19:18Stagnation of public life.
00:19:20What was that?
00:19:21I'm dictating.
00:19:22Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:19:24Don't I take notes and then write it up for you?
00:19:26Write it up?
00:19:27Yeah, you, um, put it into English.
00:19:29You'll kindly put down exactly what I say.
00:19:32I'm away to the cattle show early in the morning and I want a proof of the interview tonight.
00:19:35Yes, very good.
00:19:36Stagnation of public life.
00:19:39Wanted new men.
00:19:41Provost Gow's plain words to the electors.
00:19:44During my term of office as Provost of Bakey, I have been instrumental in bringing about great changes in the borough.
00:19:52But there is one change that I shall never make.
00:19:56A change in the principles which guide me.
00:19:59No, no.
00:20:00Of course not.
00:20:02He can't come in here.
00:20:03The master's busy.
00:20:04I know that.
00:20:05He's busy writing wrongs.
00:20:06Well, here's another for him.
00:20:07I advise you to scram.
00:20:08All right, Maggie.
00:20:09Oh, God bless you, ma'am.
00:20:10May the devil look past you and look straight into your eyes.
00:20:14Oh, ma'am, dear.
00:20:15It's his honor I'm seeking.
00:20:17I'm afraid he's giving an interview.
00:20:18Oh, the poor soul.
00:20:19And I am deeply concerned with the well-being of every individual in the community.
00:20:28But, ma'am, I can't wait.
00:20:29It's a matter of life and death.
00:20:30It's about my little patsy.
00:20:31Why, what's the little boy done?
00:20:32Oh, your honor.
00:20:33It's about my patsy.
00:20:34How dare you burst in here.
00:20:35Oh, burst or not, I've got to do what I've got to do.
00:20:38I'll do it somewhere else.
00:20:39I think some little boy of hers has gotten to a scrape.
00:20:41I warned you at the town hall.
00:20:43But you said it's very urgent.
00:20:44And now you have the insolence to come cantering into my private house.
00:20:47I think if you got the little chap here and talked to him.
00:20:49If you talked to him, ma'am, he'd bark at you.
00:20:51Bark at us?
00:20:52Victoria, are you mad?
00:20:53Sure out of here at once.
00:20:54And understand, Mrs. Hegarty, the case of your dog is finished once and for all.
00:20:57Dog?
00:20:58But you told me it was about your little son.
00:21:00No, I ask it.
00:21:01Did I ever tell you anything of the kind?
00:21:03Not but what he's like a son to me.
00:21:05And now, now they're going to kill him.
00:21:08What rubbish.
00:21:09Who's going to kill a little dog?
00:21:10The corporation and the polis and the provost.
00:21:15Father.
00:21:17Father.
00:21:18Is this true about Mrs. Hegarty's little dog?
00:21:20She's persistently defied the law in the matter of the dog tax.
00:21:22But father.
00:21:23She's been warned time and time again.
00:21:25But if it's only seven and sixpence.
00:21:26She's been fined and she won't pay that.
00:21:28But if it's only seven and sixpence surely.
00:21:29The court passed judgement and quite rightly.
00:21:31The town is full of dirty little mongrel dogs.
00:21:33The state of the pavement.
00:21:34How much does she owe?
00:21:35Five pounds in the tax.
00:21:36Surely they can make an exception.
00:21:38No, no, no.
00:21:39No, no, no.
00:21:40On va payer pour elle.
00:21:41Mais non, mais non.
00:21:42Pourquoi pas?
00:21:43Il s'agit d'un principle.
00:21:44Jamais d'un principe.
00:21:45Toujours d'un homme.
00:21:46Hear, hear.
00:21:47If you are so keen on dogs, save up and get a new one.
00:21:52A new dog.
00:21:53A new dog.
00:21:54A new dog.
00:21:55A new dog.
00:21:56A new dog.
00:21:57A new dog.
00:21:58A new dog.
00:21:59A new dog.
00:22:00A next time pay the tax.
00:22:01Vicki.
00:22:02Put her up.
00:22:03Ah, what was I saying before that unconscionable interview?
00:22:07You were concerned with the well being of every individual in the community.
00:22:11Ah.
00:22:12I am asking my friends in Vicki to give me an opportunity of applying these principles.
00:22:16I'll subscribe.
00:22:17What?
00:22:18Unless you want to settle on the quiet of course.
00:22:20Do you mean for that woman?
00:22:21I wouldn't pay a penny on principle.
00:22:23Wouldn't it be advisable?
00:22:24Especially when you're asking people to vote for you.
00:22:26Thank you very much.
00:22:27Will you kindly mind your own business?
00:22:28I am asking my friends in Vicki to give me an opportunity of applying these principles.
00:22:35My Lord.
00:22:36Please come along.
00:22:37Please come along.
00:22:38Stop it.
00:22:39You won't put me out.
00:22:40I won't.
00:22:41You won't put me out.
00:22:42I won't.
00:22:43You won't put me out.
00:22:44I won't.
00:22:45I won't.
00:22:46I won't.
00:22:47Ah.
00:22:48Ah.
00:22:49Ah.
00:22:50Ah.
00:22:51Ah.
00:22:52Ah.
00:22:53Ah.
00:22:54Ah.
00:22:55Ah.
00:22:56Ah.
00:22:57Oh, why.
00:22:59Um, why?
00:23:01Ah.
00:23:03Ah.
00:23:04Ah.
00:23:05What?
00:23:06Now, where...
00:23:08Where was I?
00:23:09By applying these principles.
00:23:10Ah yes.
00:23:11In a wider field.
00:23:12It is the realization that each unit in the state is a living, breathing soul.
00:23:17Will you get on?
00:23:21A living, breathing soul.
00:23:24with his own intense perception of his own rights and his own wrongs.
00:23:28A leader must have that strange sixth sense
00:23:31which enables him to see into the hearts of his people.
00:23:41The province says you have to mind the corrections burden.
00:23:44Mr. Burden.
00:23:45Ach away.
00:23:46Ach away yourself, to bed.
00:23:49Go on.
00:23:54I'm going to say that now,
00:23:55I've got to go with me.
00:23:57I'm going to say that now,
00:23:59we've got to go with so many machines.
00:24:01I've got to go with so many machines in this morning,
00:24:02and I'm going to say a few machines
00:24:04and get your books out there.
00:24:06I've got to do an extra for them.
00:24:09And if you're spending more time with them,
00:24:11I'm not going to do anything.
00:24:12I can't believe that they are going to do anything.
00:24:14I'm going to keep going.
00:24:15I'm not going to do anything.
00:24:16Let's hang out a little bit.
00:24:22Here are you going to keep the machines ready?
00:24:23Are you going to keep the machines waiting all night?
00:24:25Probably.
00:24:26Here, no smoking within hours.
00:24:30Here, have one.
00:24:32Aye.
00:24:42Oatmeal.
00:24:44The food of horses in England and men in Scotland.
00:24:49And where, sir, can you find such horses or such men?
00:24:54Mister.
00:24:55Sir, to you.
00:24:56Can you have some porridge?
00:24:57Ack away.
00:24:58Did you write that?
00:25:02Listen.
00:25:03I've took a kind of liking to you.
00:25:05And I'm telling you.
00:25:06Seeing you're new at the game and I'm an old hand.
00:25:08Do you like these?
00:25:10British bacteria and what they do.
00:25:12You're daft.
00:25:13I beg your pardon.
00:25:14Nuts the court in English.
00:25:16You keep your dirty mitts off my breakfast.
00:25:18You're for it.
00:25:21Aye, smile.
00:25:22You don't stand there by smiling your face like a split melon when the boss in the gaffer gets after you.
00:25:27You're done for.
00:25:28You see?
00:25:29Done for.
00:25:30Where's the golf course?
00:25:31What the?
00:25:32Who the?
00:25:33Oh.
00:25:34I'm awfully sorry.
00:25:35Oh, it's you.
00:25:36It's quite all right.
00:25:37You're a little bit late with your four.
00:25:38Well, you would have been early with your, uh, aft.
00:25:40Uh, Donald, please.
00:25:41Well, anyway, why aren't you working?
00:25:42Donald and I have taken the morning off.
00:25:43Would you care to join us?
00:25:44Yes, I'd love to.
00:25:45I'm afraid I've lost my ball.
00:25:46Yes, you do seem to be lying pretty badly.
00:25:47Not lying too well in yourself.
00:25:48Oh, well, let's put two more down.
00:25:49Yes.
00:25:50Come on, Donald, bring the club.
00:25:51Do you show me the way?
00:25:52Right, and me on the machine.
00:25:53And the ball.
00:25:54Your game was bad enough when you were by yourself.
00:25:55What will it be now?
00:25:56Huh.
00:25:57I don't know.
00:25:58You're a little bit late, but I'm sure you could have been early with your, uh, aft.
00:25:59Oh, yes.
00:26:00Uh, Donald, please.
00:26:01Well, anyway, why aren't you working?
00:26:02Donald and I have taken the morning off.
00:26:03Would you care to join us?
00:26:04Yes, I'd love to.
00:26:05Yeah, I'm afraid I've lost my ball.
00:26:06Yes, you do seem to be lying pretty badly.
00:26:07Not lying too well in yourself.
00:26:09Oh, well, let's put two more down.
00:26:10Yeah.
00:26:11Come on, Donald, bring the club.
00:26:12Do you show me the way?
00:26:13Right.
00:26:14Hand me your machine.
00:26:15And the ball.
00:26:16Your game was bad enough when you were by yourself.
00:26:20What will it be now?
00:26:27Sorry about that business of Mrs. Hegarty's dog.
00:26:32Yes, sir.
00:26:37Still, something ought to be done about it.
00:26:41Yes.
00:26:42Oh, sorry.
00:26:43I'm trying to play.
00:26:45Oh, it's quite all right.
00:26:51Did the province go to cry this morning?
00:26:53Yes, early.
00:26:54Why?
00:26:55Oh, nothing.
00:27:00Mrs. Hegarty!
00:27:01Mrs. Hegarty!
00:27:02You're in the papers.
00:27:03What?
00:27:04There's a whole page about you in the advertiser.
00:27:06Not me.
00:27:07In the advertiser.
00:27:08Tom McWorden.
00:27:09Have you a copy of this illustrious publication?
00:27:11No, me.
00:27:12Don McInnes saw it in the library when he was getting his crossword.
00:27:15In the library?
00:27:16Tom McWorden.
00:27:17Keep me ice cream warm.
00:27:18No!
00:27:19No!
00:27:20No!
00:27:21No!
00:27:22No!
00:27:23No!
00:27:24No!
00:27:25No!
00:27:26No!
00:27:27No!
00:27:28No!
00:27:29No!
00:27:30No!
00:27:31No!
00:27:32No!
00:27:33No, no!
00:27:34No!
00:27:35No!
00:27:36No!
00:27:37I don't know!
00:27:39No!
00:27:40No!
00:27:41No!
00:27:42No!
00:27:43Daniel O'Connor and Kathleen Aholahon.
00:27:44Daniel O'Connor and Kathleen Houlihan, if that isn't me name, all over the page,
00:27:48in letters the size of a great whale itself that swims in the wide ocean.
00:27:52Scandalious incident over a dog. Will you listen to this now?
00:27:56It's high time our local Bumbles learned to administer the law with decency.
00:28:02That's a Bumbles at all.
00:28:04It was beneath the brother's dignity to send her mind at rest.
00:28:07It wasn't beneath his dignity to kick her out of doors.
00:28:10He took his boot to her and hired a complete stranger.
00:28:14That's not awful.
00:28:16Tonight this dull bully is holding a political meeting
00:28:20to make a grand parade of his principles.
00:28:23They're not good enough for us and neither is he.
00:28:30Silence! Silence!
00:28:35Silence in this room.
00:28:40Silence!
00:28:42Silence!
00:28:43Silence!
00:28:44Silence!
00:28:45Silence!
00:28:46Congratulations.
00:28:47A magnificent fellow.
00:28:49If we could only apply the knowledge and energy
00:28:52that has gone to the breeding of that animal,
00:28:54to the improvement of the human stock,
00:28:56we could have something like that in three generations.
00:28:59Well, thanks for the game.
00:29:01We'll have another when you have the time.
00:29:02Yes, I think I'll have the time.
00:29:03Victoria!
00:29:04What are you doing here with that man?
00:29:06You know Mr. Burden.
00:29:07You know Mr. Burden.
00:29:08I'm one of the untouchables.
00:29:09I'll say you are.
00:29:10Haven't you heard?
00:29:11Something terrible has happened.
00:29:12Horace is off his head.
00:29:13Oh, no, Lisbeth.
00:29:14Have you had the doctor?
00:29:15Oh, don't be silly.
00:29:16Drive me home and I'll go.
00:29:17I'll go.
00:29:18I'll go.
00:29:19I'll go.
00:29:20I'll go.
00:29:21I'll go.
00:29:22I'll go.
00:29:23I'll go.
00:29:24I'll go.
00:29:25I'll go.
00:29:26I'll go.
00:29:27I'll go.
00:29:28I'll go.
00:29:29What are you doing here with that man?
00:29:30You know Mr. Burden.
00:29:31Yeah, I'm one of the untouchables.
00:29:32I'll say you are.
00:29:34Haven't you heard?
00:29:35Something terrible has happened.
00:29:36Horace is off his head.
00:29:37Oh, no, Lisbeth.
00:29:38Have you had the doctor?
00:29:39Oh, don't be silly.
00:29:41Drive me home and I'll tell you.
00:29:43And Horace will deal with you, you cad.
00:29:46Well, I know.
00:29:47What on earth?
00:29:48Oh, get on, Vicky.
00:29:49What on earth will he be saying?
00:29:51Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen,
00:29:54these are exceptional times.
00:29:57And they require exceptional,
00:29:59they require exceptional, exceptional measures.
00:30:02And exceptional men.
00:30:04Pause for applause.
00:30:06Ah, my friends.
00:30:08Were you speaking?
00:30:09I was not.
00:30:10Must have been the differential.
00:30:24at the far end of theags.
00:30:40Will you see the young gent that called yesterday?
00:30:41What young gent?
00:30:42Him from the newspaper.
00:30:43I think he can't come in.
00:30:44Righto.
00:30:45And don't say righto.
00:30:46Okay.
00:30:47He's in.
00:30:49How dare you come and see me?
00:30:51I haven't. I came to see the provost.
00:30:53Well, he's not back. He'll go straight to the hall.
00:30:55Oh, I just want to give him an explanation.
00:30:59I suppose you mean an apology.
00:31:01No, an explanation.
00:31:05Oh, I'd better go. I can't be very pleasant for you to see me.
00:31:09I suppose you know what you've done.
00:31:11You've slaughtered a fine, honorable man.
00:31:13It's despicable.
00:31:15What harm has my father ever done to you?
00:31:17To me, no harm.
00:31:19Then why do you stab him in the back like this?
00:31:21Why did you do it?
00:31:23It's hard to explain.
00:31:25No decent action is ever hard to explain.
00:31:27Oh, perhaps not.
00:31:33You don't mean that idiotic business about that dog.
00:31:35You think it's idiotic?
00:31:37Well, it's so, so small.
00:31:39Impression is never small.
00:31:41Well, no, of course, but it doesn't make sense.
00:31:43You lose your job. You'll never get another one.
00:31:45And all because you got sentimental about a silly old woman and her mongrel dog.
00:31:48So did you? You stuck up for her.
00:31:50Well, I tried to care up after the provost had asserted his authority.
00:31:53That's what women are for.
00:31:55Oh, that's what women are for, are they?
00:32:04Why did you do it?
00:32:05Don't be that a mule. I'm trying to help you.
00:32:08Are you?
00:32:09Are you?
00:32:10Are you? Why?
00:32:12Oh, well, never mind why.
00:32:15What sort of man are you anyhow?
00:32:17Well, did you ever know a decent sort of chap who could tell you straight off what sort of decent chap he was?
00:32:21I never knew a man do the mischief you've done for no reason at all.
00:32:24Well, look here.
00:32:25If you really want to know, I'll tell you something I never told.
00:32:28No, I won't. Goodbye.
00:32:30Tell me.
00:32:48Well, when I was a kid, I lived at the foot of a steep hill.
00:32:54Carts used to go up the hill with heavy loads.
00:32:58Sometimes the horses couldn't take the loads and the carters used to hit them.
00:33:02On their flanks, on their bellies, on their eyes and nostrils.
00:33:06But one day I couldn't stick it any longer.
00:33:08I was terrified out of my life. I went for one of the carters.
00:33:10He just put the fat of his hand against my face and sent me spinning into the gutter.
00:33:14So I said to myself, when you grow up, you will it out.
00:33:18Every time, no matter what it costs.
00:33:21And you've done that?
00:33:23Yes.
00:33:26Get in.
00:33:27Come on, has the advertiser gone mad?
00:33:29I was away.
00:33:30It was a great shock to me.
00:33:31But what have we to do, does the provost know?
00:33:32I couldn't say.
00:33:33My, but it's awful.
00:33:34Awful.
00:33:35Horace, I want to talk to you.
00:33:36Willy's not here yet.
00:33:37He won't think I had anything to do with it.
00:33:38Oh, don't be stupid.
00:33:39I wonder if he's seen it.
00:33:40Well, if he hasn't, we daren't tell him now, not before his speech.
00:33:42Here he is.
00:33:43Hello, Miss.
00:33:45Hello.
00:33:46Hello, Miss.
00:33:47Hello, Barton.
00:33:48Hello.
00:33:49Hello.
00:33:50This is the real man.
00:33:51I can't tell you.
00:33:52No, can you tell me?
00:33:53No, sir.
00:33:54No, you won't.
00:33:55You're awful, awful, awful.
00:33:56Horace, I want to talk to you.
00:33:58But Willy's not here yet.
00:33:59He won't think I had anything to do with it.
00:34:00Swarm!
00:34:07Swarm!
00:34:09Hello, Vicky.
00:34:11Hello, Vicky.
00:34:12Hello, Barton.
00:34:13That was a good job you made of my interview.
00:34:14You made the corrections in the proof?
00:34:16Yes.
00:34:24Hello, Linda.
00:34:28Hello, Callender.
00:34:29A great night, eh?
00:34:31Hello, Horace.
00:34:33We really want our willy!
00:34:36We really want our willy!
00:34:39Do you hear them, willy?
00:34:40Do you hear that?
00:34:41So, they're calling for their willy.
00:34:43Well, they shall have their willy.
00:34:45Shooters and pipers, go away.
00:34:47They're not going to come there, willy.
00:34:49Pardon?
00:34:50We want our willy!
00:34:52We want our willy!
00:34:57We want our willy!
00:34:58Oh!
00:34:59Hey, hey!
00:35:00Uh oh!
00:35:01Oh!
00:35:02Oh!
00:35:03Oh!
00:35:04Oh!
00:35:05Oh!
00:35:06Oh!
00:35:07Oh!
00:35:08Oh!
00:35:09Oh!
00:35:10Ladies and gentlemen.
00:35:40Our speaker tonight needs very little introduction from me.
00:35:52There is no one done more for Beaky than Provost Garth.
00:35:59Tonight, I want you to show him what you really think of him in your ass.
00:36:05As Robbie Wern so wisely said, Oh, would some power the Geftegius to see yourselves as others see us.
00:36:16Yes.
00:36:18Now you give the Provost the power to see himself as you see him tonight.
00:36:23Provost Garth.
00:36:35Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, I think I may call you my friend.
00:36:45I'm sure I may call you my friend.
00:36:50For what is friendship but the will to do and the power to do
00:36:55the best a man can for those with whom he is associated.
00:37:02It is a sacred bond, a beautiful relationship.
00:37:08What's the matter with him, scaring you?
00:37:10A sacred bond, a beautiful relationship.
00:37:14We live, my friends, in exceptional times.
00:37:17And such times require exceptional measures.
00:37:21All my friends.
00:37:22What is needed today is a firm hand at the helm.
00:37:27A man who will go on and on and up and up.
00:37:32On and on and up and up.
00:37:45Always keeping before him the best interests of the whole community.
00:37:49It will be the duty of such a man to protect the oppressed.
00:37:55For what, for what does a man's strength avail him
00:38:12if he does not hold out a helping hand?
00:38:25For what, for what does a man do not Mr. Chairman and Dalia
00:38:29for a service to the officer?
00:38:32For what, for what does a man do not be for?
00:38:34For what, for what the man do not to protect the oppressed.
00:38:41By the way such a man come from.
00:38:44And as a part of the fitted coat gets released in the wrong place.
00:38:54Oh, he had me got a cat, so he couldn't get a cat, so he took away a bow, bow, bow, bow.
00:39:24What's the explanation of this?
00:39:30Oh, well, I never saw the lake in 40 years of Scotch politics.
00:39:34Scottish man, Scottish.
00:39:36Who wrote this filth?
00:39:37I'm afraid I did.
00:39:40You did?
00:39:41Yes, he did.
00:39:45You treacherous little sneak, you dirty rat.
00:39:47Oh, Father, don't.
00:39:48What's the use?
00:39:49You keep out of this.
00:39:50Listen, Mr. Gow.
00:39:50You stumbling little thud.
00:39:52You see, Victoria, it's no use.
00:39:53Don't you dare to address my daughter.
00:39:54Well, you won't listen to me.
00:39:55Listen to you, you putrid little hack writer.
00:39:57Shut up.
00:39:58What did you say?
00:39:58I said shut up.
00:39:59Oh, Father, do stop.
00:40:00Victoria, I think you're the limit.
00:40:02Go on, Willie.
00:40:03Give the little bounder the hiding he deserves.
00:40:05Yes, my gad.
00:40:05I tell you what I'll do to you, you...
00:40:07Be careful, damn you.
00:40:07I'm rather good at this.
00:40:08Mr. Provost.
00:40:10Oh, Mr. Provost.
00:40:11The sergeant says, will you leave the building?
00:40:13Now, what do you mean?
00:40:13Of course I'll leave the building.
00:40:14Aye, but the sergeant says, will you go out by the back way?
00:40:17The back way?
00:40:18What for?
00:40:19The rowdies are getting out of harm.
00:40:21They're throwing stones.
00:40:30Time to break in.
00:40:38I'll show the rebel what I think of them.
00:40:40Willie, what are you going to do?
00:40:41I'll show them who is provost.
00:40:42Ow, Willie.
00:40:43They can't carry on like a lot of hooligans in my town.
00:40:45Provost.
00:40:46Father, don't you get hurt.
00:40:47I'll deal with you in the morning.
00:40:50And that goes to me.
00:40:51But the sergeant says...
00:40:52Oh, sir.
00:40:54What for?
00:40:55What as bad as this, anyway?
00:41:05Open the door.
00:41:06But you can't show yourself who's there, Mr. Gow.
00:41:08No, you can't show yourself who's there.
00:41:10Open that door.
00:41:11Open that door.
00:41:41Open that door.
00:41:48Open that door.
00:42:08Open that door.
00:42:09Go ahead.
00:42:39Father, about last night.
00:42:51If there's one thing that I can't tolerate, it's disloyalty.
00:42:54Not content with playing golf with a fellow.
00:42:56Who told you about that?
00:42:58Lisbeth, I suppose.
00:42:59Well, she does know what loyalty is.
00:43:01Well, after all, it was before I knew about the article.
00:43:03It was after you knew that you brought him onto the platform.
00:43:05Well, how was I to know that people were going to jeer at you?
00:43:07Now, don't exaggerate, Vicky, please.
00:43:10And it wasn't the people.
00:43:12It was a put-up job organized by that unprincipled little skunk.
00:43:15More coffee, please.
00:43:16Mr. Burden had nothing to do with it.
00:43:18Oh, he hadn't.
00:43:18He had nothing to do with the article, I suppose.
00:43:20I know, I know.
00:43:21But I discussed the whole thing with him.
00:43:22You discussed it with him?
00:43:23Yes.
00:43:24This morning he writes to say that...
00:43:25Oh, he writes.
00:43:27How nice.
00:43:30Well, anyway, if you'd done the right thing, you would have paid the fine yourself.
00:43:34It's all rather trivial.
00:43:35Trivial?
00:43:36Look at this.
00:43:36In the Scottish edition of a London newspaper.
00:43:40Good heavens.
00:43:42Willie, have you seen this?
00:43:44Scottish candidate barked down.
00:43:46Do they think that's funny?
00:43:47What's going to happen at the dinner tonight?
00:43:50Lord Sceddyville.
00:43:51The party.
00:43:52Something's got to be done and done quickly.
00:43:54Horace is taking Burden round to your office.
00:43:55Good.
00:43:56I'll break that fellow.
00:43:58You'd better be careful.
00:44:00I don't think you know Mr. Burden.
00:44:01Now, Mr. Burden, I'm going to ask you a few questions.
00:44:08And I'll advise you to stick to the truth.
00:44:11Where are we?
00:44:11Berlin?
00:44:12Moscow?
00:44:12Or where?
00:44:13You'll find out where you are.
00:44:14Soon enough.
00:44:15Oh, I'm Nordic if that's what's worrying you.
00:44:18That's enough.
00:44:18Be quiet, you little cad.
00:44:25Come on now.
00:44:26How much did they pay you?
00:44:28Or was it a fat job?
00:44:29It's blackmail.
00:44:31What are you talking about?
00:44:32You needn't act the innocent.
00:44:33We know who's backing you, Burden.
00:44:37Come on, speak up, man.
00:44:39What exactly was it worth to you?
00:44:42Oh, no, you don't.
00:44:43We haven't finished with you yet.
00:44:45Not by a long talk.
00:44:46The opposition paid you to get that muck into the advertiser.
00:44:48And you were at the back of the row, too.
00:44:50The plot unmasked, eh?
00:44:51So you don't deny it?
00:44:52I wouldn't spoil your fun.
00:44:53It'll be no fun for you.
00:44:54You're going to sweat for this.
00:44:56I came here out of my own free will to try and help you out of your mess,
00:44:59though heaven knows why I should.
00:45:00But after your childish insinuation...
00:45:02Wait!
00:45:06Now, this is a withdrawal.
00:45:07of the statements you made in your article.
00:45:10And you're going to sign it.
00:45:12I'll read it to you.
00:45:13I, the undersigned...
00:45:15You needn't trouble.
00:45:17No, no, of course not.
00:45:18It's quite in order.
00:45:19Just sign at the bottom.
00:45:21Are you being serious?
00:45:21What do you mean?
00:45:22No.
00:45:23What do you mean, no?
00:45:24I mean I won't sign it or anything else.
00:45:27You won't sign it?
00:45:28No, I darn well won't.
00:45:29You mean you refuse?
00:45:30That is what I'm trying to convey.
00:45:31But why not?
00:45:32Because every word that I wrote was true.
00:45:33Do you know what this lets you in for?
00:45:34No, I don't care.
00:45:35You can consider yourself sacked.
00:45:36I considered myself that yesterday.
00:45:38You won't find another job.
00:45:39We'll see to that.
00:45:39I'm sure you will.
00:45:40I suppose you know this means an action for, um, for, um...
00:45:43Slander.
00:45:43Aye, slander.
00:45:44And not only civil action, sir, but criminal proceedings.
00:45:47And ten years penal servitude and twenty strokes of the cat three times a day after food.
00:45:51I don't care.
00:45:56Listen, Mr. Gao, you're not a bad chap at heart, but you've got to remember one thing.
00:46:03The people of this country are the most long-suffering on God's earth.
00:46:06They'll put up with humbug, hypocrisy, shilly-shallying, and hardship.
00:46:11They'll pull in their belts if they think it's their duty.
00:46:14They'll go to the four corners of the earth and get blown to bits if needs be.
00:46:17But two things they will not stand.
00:46:20Bullying and cruelty.
00:46:22And if you've forgotten that, I make it my business to remind you.
00:46:24I told you to be careful.
00:46:34And what's more, I think he's quite right.
00:46:37Oh.
00:46:48You are having fun.
00:46:52Blowing off steam?
00:46:54Yes.
00:46:55You're absolutely furious.
00:46:56Yes.
00:46:57But you haven't the vaguest idea what to do about it.
00:47:08Nice breaking china, isn't it?
00:47:10I wish it was his neck.
00:47:13Father?
00:47:14Yes.
00:47:18Aren't you being a little childish?
00:47:23Allow me.
00:47:31I suppose your pride's hurt at anyone daring to suspect your motives.
00:47:38You must admit it's a bit hard for any ordinary person not to think you were blind.
00:47:45Don't break this one.
00:47:46Oh, allow me.
00:47:59You've got yourself into a nice mess, haven't you?
00:48:04I've won something.
00:48:05Never mind that.
00:48:06What are you going to do?
00:48:08Look for another job, I suppose.
00:48:10If you can get one.
00:48:11And what are you going to do in the meanwhile?
00:48:13You got any money at all?
00:48:15Cigarette?
00:48:16No, thanks.
00:48:17You may need them.
00:48:21Frank.
00:48:22I don't get excited.
00:48:23I want to ask you a question.
00:48:24Yes, but you call me Frank.
00:48:26Well?
00:48:27That's my name.
00:48:28So I thought.
00:48:29It's the first time you've used my name.
00:48:30Well, what about it?
00:48:31It's the first time you've called me Frank.
00:48:33Oh, do listen.
00:48:34Yes, well.
00:48:35Leonard's not a penny.
00:48:36Oh.
00:48:37There.
00:48:38It's difficult to ask you this, and you mustn't misunderstand me.
00:48:42Do what Father asks.
00:48:44What on earth do you take me for?
00:48:47Eleven stone, six pounds, four ounces.
00:48:54Now, don't be so obstinate.
00:48:56Pig-headedness.
00:48:57How can you expect me to knuckle under to him?
00:48:59You know I am right.
00:49:00You said so.
00:49:01I never said you were.
00:49:02I said your motives were.
00:49:08Now, don't ask for another one.
00:49:12Frank, you've made your protest, and it was a fine thing to do.
00:49:15That's pig-headedness.
00:49:16And there's nothing new about pig-headedness.
00:49:18It's as old as the pigs.
00:49:19So's this.
00:49:28Frank, be generous.
00:49:30Generous?
00:49:31You dealt Father a pretty hard knock, you know.
00:49:34You made him ridiculous, which was the worst thing you could do.
00:49:37Why not call it a day?
00:49:39What about Patsy?
00:49:41Well, put it this way.
00:49:43If you behaved decently to Mrs. Hegarty, you'll sign the withdrawal.
00:49:47Supposing you won't?
00:49:48He will.
00:49:49He may break his word.
00:49:50Then we'll both tell the world what we think of him.
00:49:54Both?
00:49:55Then you're in this with me.
00:49:59It's a deal.
00:50:01It's what I'm telling you.
00:50:02It's sampling me face in the dust they are when it was rising to the stars.
00:50:05With the people buzzing around like there was bees around the honeysuckle.
00:50:08And me selling ice creams as if they were hot dogs.
00:50:11Give me me shawls.
00:50:13I'm making enough money to pay me fine and get Patsy back so I will.
00:50:17Oh, Mr. Bird and your honour.
00:50:19They're after arresting me goods and chattels.
00:50:21What's happening, McKellar?
00:50:22They're seizing our goods for debt.
00:50:23Who are?
00:50:24The authorities.
00:50:25Oh, this is fantastic.
00:50:26Oh, it is that.
00:50:27And they're doing in the wee dog tonight.
00:50:37Mrs. Hegarty, we're from the London Sun.
00:50:39Are you a reporter?
00:50:40Yes.
00:50:41Come with me.
00:50:42I'll give you the biggest scoop we've ever had in your life.
00:50:43You better come, Mrs. Hegarty, too, and I...
00:50:44Mr. Bird and your honour, don't be doing any more good for me.
00:50:47I've lost Patsy.
00:50:48I've lost me barra.
00:50:49There's a little much more I can lose.
00:50:51Be out of me way.
00:50:52Get after her, quick.
00:50:53If your father thinks he's going to get away with this, he's made the biggest mistake of his life.
00:51:02Don't you wag that thing at me.
00:51:04The deal's off.
00:51:05The condemned man ate a hearty meal.
00:51:17The condemned man ate a hearty meal.
00:51:18The condemned man ate a hearty meal.
00:51:32The condemned man ate a hearty meal.
00:51:34If I had good 볡 of something to bits.
00:51:35Susie, I cut scandal.
00:51:37Come in, look.
00:51:41uits is.
00:51:42It's meself. I've come to say goodbye.
00:51:46You didn't say that you were leaving us.
00:51:49It's goodbye to Patsy Yamadon.
00:51:51Well, step on it. Well, we're coming for him.
00:52:03Don't take on her, Noria. It cannot be helped.
00:52:12There he lies, as if he was in his coffin.
00:52:21Aye.
00:52:23I'm real sorry, Noria, but you can't know half the ills we do in this world are at the bidding of other folk.
00:52:30That's the truth.
00:52:33Aye.
00:52:35What do you say to a wee drink? Commander, open.
00:52:39No, no, Noria.
00:52:41In return for your kindness.
00:52:43And leave Patsy.
00:52:44Ah, he'll be all right. You can lock the door. Nobody'll know.
00:52:47We'll drink to his dear departing spirit.
00:52:51Sure. Sure, it's only common humanity.
00:52:54Well, I'll get my keys.
00:53:04Only a wee in mind.
00:53:06Mind this, Noria. The lethal chambers you made. Just that. You made.
00:53:19I'm seeking you, my killer.
00:53:22Oh, it's you.
00:53:24Aye, all six of me. I suppose you know you're keeping the vet waiting.
00:53:28Aye, you're keeping the vet waiting.
00:53:29Aye, you're keeping the vet waiting.
00:53:30Whist, whist, have a heart, have a heart.
00:53:33Do you not cause unnecessary pain?
00:53:35Ach, away will you. Come on round to your lodging and hand him over.
00:53:39Is he all right, Your Honor?
00:53:51Whist!
00:53:54No good help, my dear.
00:53:56Thank you, Lord Garibald. Of course.
00:53:57Oh, we must all drink to that.
00:53:58Highland honors, Mr. Provost.
00:53:59Aye.
00:54:00Aye.
00:54:01Aye.
00:54:02Aye.

00:54:29Aye.
00:54:30Aye.
00:54:31Aye.
00:54:32No Π²ΠΈΠ½.
00:54:33Allow me.
00:54:34Don't be too wrong with the port lords, carribald.
00:54:35No I won't.
00:54:37Ah, My Lord.
00:54:38Bring the cigars, Horace, will you?
00:54:39Come over here, My Lord.
00:54:41Come over here and finish your port in comfort, will you?
00:54:45That's right.
00:54:47Cigar, huh?
00:54:49There.
00:54:51Cigar.
00:54:52Thank you, Horace.
00:54:53Well girl, how about your adoption as official candidate?
00:55:03I thought that was settled.
00:55:05Yeah, I'd hoped it was, but tell me, what's all this about a dog?
00:55:10Why, I don't understand.
00:55:12I mean this, you know, at a by-election, the first to be fought by our party.
00:55:18It's, well, what's it all about?
00:55:21I've heard things, you know, to be awkward if...
00:55:25Oh, you mean, oh, that.
00:55:27Ah, that was just a storm in a teacup.
00:55:29A woman refused to pay her dog license and some young lads made a sort of joke about it.
00:55:33Exuberance of youth, you know.
00:55:36It wasn't an organized thing.
00:55:38Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:55:44Papers made out there was a bit of a riot.
00:55:47A riot?
00:55:48Oh, that wasn't a riot, was it?
00:55:50Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:55:52Just, uh, just fun and games.
00:56:01Might I have a drop of whiskey instead of this pot?
00:56:03Why, of course, madame.
00:56:04Please do, madame.
00:56:05Please do, madame.
00:56:06Please do.
00:56:07Please, uh, help yourself, won't you?
00:56:10I understand you're very highly respected in this neighborhood, Mr. Goe.
00:56:15There's no man more respected than the provost.
00:56:17If you understand me, his word is law.
00:56:20Now, in the development of Vicky, he...
00:56:26Popular, too.
00:56:27Extremely popular.
00:56:28Extremely popular.
00:56:29Well, you know, popularity's a tender plant.
00:56:33The tactless handling of a situation might be the end of us.
00:56:36But I told you, lordship, the whole childish affair is finished and done with.
00:56:39They're not finished and done with.
00:56:45What the devil is that, Trenaru?
00:56:47Well, what the devil is that, Trenaru?
00:56:50No!
00:56:52No!
00:56:53No!
00:56:54No!
00:56:56No!
00:56:57No!
00:56:58No!
00:56:59No!
00:57:01No!
00:57:02No!
00:57:03No!
00:57:04No!
00:57:05No!
00:57:06No!
00:57:07What's the meaning of this tom-poole ringer? Really, my lord, I...
00:57:15Willie! Horace! Father, what is it?
00:57:19Hold that, please.
00:57:23Thank you. Thank you.
00:57:26What's all this? What's that photographer doing here?
00:57:29Mr. Bromish! Mr. Bromish!
00:57:32Oh, Mr. Bromish! He's gone! He's gone!
00:57:35Who's gone? Patsy, Mr. Bromish!
00:57:38But who is Patsy?
00:57:40Mrs. Haggerty's lord, you dog-ship!
00:57:44Call me a teacup, eh? Exuberance of youth, eh?
00:57:48Popular, eh? Call my cat!
00:58:05You dog-ship!
00:58:06Kill me!
00:58:07Oh, my God, he's broken!
00:58:12Hey, what are you doing?
00:58:13Don't you do it!
00:58:15Don't go to the king!
00:58:16Where did he?
00:58:17Don't go, Ty!

00:58:42Oh, oh, oh!
00:58:48Who sent her?
00:58:52What are you doing to kill her?
00:58:54Don't it, college.
00:58:54Don't want me to call mom.
00:58:55Yes.
00:58:56Yes.
00:58:57Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:58:59Oh, oh, oh!
00:59:00Oh, yeah!
00:59:01Oh fancy petting the boots.

00:59:09Put it down here.
00:59:11Put it down here.
00:59:13Put it down there.
00:59:15Do it.
00:59:17Keep that dog away, will ya?
00:59:19Keep it on, get it on.
00:59:21Get it on.

00:59:27Get it on.
00:59:29Get it on.
00:59:31Get it on.
00:59:33Get it on.

00:59:47Get it on.
00:59:49Get it on.
00:59:51Get it on.
00:59:53Please don't go like this.
00:59:55If you only knew Willie, I mean the provost.
00:59:57It's all a terrible mistake.
00:59:58You run me along.
01:00:00Excuse me.
01:00:02Get off.
01:00:04Get off.
01:00:06Oh, Hans, what a tragedy.
01:00:08Oh, don't be stupid.
01:00:10Come on.
01:00:16Oh, hello.
01:00:18I never want to see you again.
01:00:20Come on.
01:00:22Get away.
01:00:24Come on.
01:00:26Come on.
01:00:28Call them off, boys.
01:00:30Back along, boys.
01:00:32Come on.
01:00:34Never mind.
01:00:36Stop.
01:00:38Come on.
01:00:40Come on.
01:00:42Go on.
01:00:44Go on.
01:00:46Go on.
01:00:48No.
01:00:50Look.
01:00:52Oh, Father, don't take it too far.
01:01:03We all know what you feel.
01:01:04That's just what you don't.
01:01:06None of you understand, Willie.
01:01:07Lisbeth.
01:01:08And you're worse than any of them.
01:01:09You've worked against your own father, carrying on with that rotten little bounder.
01:01:12Lisbeth, control it.
01:01:13And you're just as bad.
01:01:14You're jealous of him because he's a man.
01:01:16And you're just a miserable fish.
01:01:18Lisbeth, dear, you're a fish.
01:01:19Leave away.
01:01:20Don't touch me.
01:01:20Oh, Willie, my darling, my love.
01:01:23They can't do this, do you?
01:01:28Here, here, here.
01:01:30What does that mean?
01:01:32It means that I'm not wanted in this house.
01:01:50Here.
01:02:06There's your first installment.
01:02:08There's yours.
01:02:09Do you think I'm doing this for money?
01:02:10Take it away.
01:02:10All I want is a couple of quid to live on.
01:02:12Don't be an ass.
01:02:12Why should the son get all this for nothing?
01:02:14Here, take it away.
01:02:14Give it to anyone you like.
01:02:15Give it to the Royal Lockdownic Hospital for my own big pecanese.
01:02:20Give it to Mrs. Hegarty.
01:02:23General Procurator Fiscal, you're the public prosecutor, aren't you?
01:02:26Yes, but I do.
01:02:26General, let's do your duty, ma'am.
01:02:28You've got the prosecutor.
01:02:28But on what charge?
01:02:29Find a charge.
01:02:30That's your job.
01:02:35Mr. Burton?
01:02:36I have a warden for your arrest.
01:02:38I must ask to come with me.
01:02:39What for?
01:02:40You can't do that.
01:02:41What's the charge?
01:02:41Let's see the warrant.
01:02:42Come quite a know.
01:02:56Hello, Burton.
01:02:57Your troubles are over.
01:02:58This is Mr. Watkins of the FFFF...
01:03:00The Federation of Friends of the Feathered Four-Footed and Fur, you know.
01:03:03God.
01:03:03Mr. Burton, my society is filled with admiration for your great work on this Patsy case.
01:03:08But we feel that you've fought a lone unequal battle too long.
01:03:12I am authorized to inform you that my Federation has decided to take up the case officially
01:03:16and to finance your defense.
01:03:18Mr. Burton, we couldn't do otherwise.
01:03:20The enthusiasm of our members.
01:03:22We've made Patsy an honorary vice president.
01:03:24We've also...
01:03:25Go away.
01:03:28Go away.
01:03:29I'm fed up with the whole business.
01:03:30If I want to become a publicist stunt of raising funds for your Federation of Futile Fatheads,
01:03:35I'll let you know.
01:03:36You've made a national entertainment out of what was a perfectly honest, straightforward issue.
01:03:40And you want to use it to boost your poor society.
01:03:42Well, I won't have it.
01:03:44I don't care if I win the case or lose it.
01:03:46I've lost everything over this.
01:03:49I've lost my job.
01:03:49I've lost my future.
01:03:50I've lost...
01:03:51Oh, take them away.
01:03:53Mr. Burton, you can't behave like this.
01:03:56And you can't say things like that.
01:03:57My society is going to defend you whether you like it or not.
01:04:00Come along, sir.
01:04:01Come along, sir.
01:04:01Come along, sir.
01:04:31And stand up for yourself to his honour, the sheriff.
01:04:34The way you stand up for others.
01:04:35The widow and the orphan.
01:04:36The poor and the needless.
01:04:38Listen.
01:04:41I've caused enough trouble.
01:04:42I'm through.
01:04:43I don't care what they do.
01:04:44I don't want to win the case.
01:04:46I don't want to do anything more to hurt, Miss Victoria.
01:04:48Now, that's the great boy you are, Mr. Burton.
01:04:50And it's the great gift for writing you have.
01:04:52Did I tell you?
01:04:53I had the article framed.
01:04:54It's up on the wall between his holiness and the coloured enlargement of poor Hegarty that was.
01:05:01It's a cruel shame, that's what it is.
01:05:22Fear makes me boil over.
01:05:24Such a sweet little doggie, my dear.
01:05:30Yes.
01:05:31I know what I'd do with that promise of Bakey.
01:05:36Doing a thing like that to a dog.
01:05:39Bad show.
01:05:40And a shout for Patsy Gow.
01:05:46The 20 million school children shall know the reason why.
01:05:53I mean, it's hardly playing the game.
01:05:55What?
01:05:55It's not cricket.
01:05:56No.
01:05:59Patsy case.
01:06:01It is understood that reports of the resignation of Provost William Gow were officially denied in Bakey today.
01:06:07To be continued...
01:06:19To be continued...
01:06:31To be continued...
01:06:32Cork!
01:07:02Ah, bring him up.
01:07:12Bring up the panel, Frank Burden.
01:07:14Bring up Frank Burden.
01:07:16I brought myself up.
01:07:19They might have given me some red fire and a cord in the orchestra.
01:07:21This is a court of law. There is no orchestra, whatever.
01:07:23Then there should be.
01:07:24You be quiet.
01:07:25Inasmuch as you did utter, I did publish a statement designed or calculated to exercise an improper influence on the voters in a parliamentary election under the Corrupt and Legal Practices Act of 1895.
01:07:38When?
01:07:401895.
01:07:41But I wasn't born then.
01:07:43Have you understood the charge?
01:07:45I've tried to.
01:07:46Do you want it read again?
01:07:47No, thank you.
01:07:49Well, do you plead guilty or not guilty?
01:07:51Does it matter?
01:07:52The prisoner pleads not guilty, my lord.
01:07:54Well, you know best.
01:07:56We may proceed.
01:07:58Why not?
01:08:00Call Robert Andrews.
01:08:02Robert Andrews.
01:08:03Robert Andrews.
01:08:05Robert Andrews.
01:08:11Do brisk up, Willie.
01:08:12Oh, I wish I could see Victoria.
01:08:14Oh, her. She won't turn up anyway.
01:08:18Willie, when you've won your case, Horace may call off the divorce.
01:08:22Sometimes I think you're without one moral principle.
01:08:26And nothing but the truth.
01:08:28And nothing but the truth.
01:08:30You're Robert Andrews.
01:08:31I am.
01:08:32You're a compositor working for the Becky Advertiser.
01:08:34I am.
01:08:35That is, you set up in print the matter appearing in the paper.
01:08:37I do.
01:08:38Now, on the night in question, were you given by the panel a last-minute article to set up?
01:08:42I was.
01:08:43And was the panel the author of the article?
01:08:45I was.
01:08:46Silence.
01:08:47Silence.
01:08:50How dare you.
01:08:51I'm trying to save time.
01:08:52But I defend the case.
01:08:53I expect my client to behave himself.
01:08:54I said, last kid, I wanted to defend myself.
01:08:56Mr. Burden, there are 3,000 pounds put forward for your defense by the FFFN.
01:09:00We all know where that's going to.
01:09:03Leave him to me, Mr. Minges.
01:09:06Mr. Burden, you must not interrupt the hearing.
01:09:08Go on.
01:09:09How did you know the panel was the author of the article?
01:09:12It was his English hand of writing.
01:09:15What do you mean by that?
01:09:16Illiterate, you'll understand.
01:09:20I understand you had difficulty in deciphering the article.
01:09:26It was practically a physical impossibility.
01:09:28You're quite sure you set in print what the panel wrote?
01:09:31Of course he did.
01:09:34Keep quiet.
01:09:35I corrected the proof myself.
01:09:36Heavens, they told your tongue.
01:09:37Well, don't suggest I didn't write what I did write.
01:09:39Shh!
01:09:39You really must speak to your client, Mr. Minges.
01:09:42The Lord, you told me to leave him to you.
01:09:45Don't be impertinent.
01:09:48Silence!
01:09:49The next person to laugh will be turned out of this court.
01:09:58Vicky!
01:09:59Why, I thought you weren't coming.
01:10:02Why else could I do?
01:10:04I've missed you, Vicky.
01:10:05It was decent of you to have kept away from him.
01:10:09You were mistaken in him, Vicky.
01:10:11He's just a self-seeking little rotter.
01:10:13He's nothing of the kind.
01:10:15He didn't do anything you didn't goad him to.
01:10:16And you're bringing this case simply to satisfy your own pride.
01:10:19I see.
01:10:20So you're still taken in with the fellow.
01:10:22Well, it'll interest you to know that I've got him this time.
01:10:25Father!
01:10:26You are Margaret Twine.
01:10:28Sure.
01:10:29Just answer yes or no.
01:10:31Okay.
01:10:33Your employment is a parlour made by Provost Gull.
01:10:36Says you.
01:10:37What is the meaning of this expression, says you?
01:10:40Well, my lord, it's a slang phrase of American origin
01:10:47which has gained regrettable currency in the language of our people
01:10:50through the insidious agency of the cinema.
01:10:52And it is, I'm given to understand,
01:10:54employed to indicate a state of dubiety in the mind of the speaker
01:10:57as to the veracity or credibility of a statement-making.
01:11:04Oh, yeah?
01:11:05Oh, yeah.
01:11:35Gloria!
01:11:42I can't hear you now in myself.
01:11:43Don't be raising the roof.
01:11:44The court's waiting.
01:11:45Where on earth have you been here?
01:11:46Sure I had to take my patsy out of a nursing home.
01:11:48The publicity got on the nerves of him
01:11:50and he's had to have a rest cure.
01:11:51You're lucky not to get six months for contempt of court.
01:11:54Well, I don't know about the six months,
01:11:56but I've got the contempt all right.
01:12:02And I will tell the truth.
01:12:03Tell the truth.
01:12:04The whole truth.
01:12:05The whole truth.
01:12:05And nothing but the truth.
01:12:06Nothing but the truth.
01:12:10Your name, I believe, is Honoria Gakin, or Hegarty.
01:12:14I make up your mind, man, which it is.
01:12:15Hegarty, it is.
01:12:16Yes.
01:12:16Now, on the evening, under discussion,
01:12:18you paid a visit to Mr. Gow's house,
01:12:21Clyde View McCullum Road.
01:12:22I did an all.
01:12:23Well, you've caused to remember that evening.
01:12:25Causes it.
01:12:26And the foot of me back hitting every step.
01:12:29And I was a great large bruise,
01:12:30the color of a rainbow in the sky.
01:12:32It's not faded away yet.
01:12:34Look, if you could only see it.
01:12:35Yes, well, never mind about that.
01:12:36Oh, it's easy for you to talk.
01:12:39Couldn't I get in, please?
01:12:41Was you involved in the case?
01:12:42Yes, but I...
01:12:43Nay, nay, I'll hate to wait till I've balled you out.
01:12:45And now, we come to the evening of the, uh...
01:12:49the canine demonstration at Mr. Gow's house.
01:12:52Now, to me, on that day,
01:12:54did the accused express animals against the provost?
01:12:57Sure, all the animals and the length and breadth of the land
01:12:59is against the provost.
01:13:00Thank you, that'll do.
01:13:01Mr. Minges, do you wish to question the witness?
01:13:05Certainly not, my lord.
01:13:06Indeed, I'll be waiting with all the patience I can muster
01:13:08to hear why the Crown has called this rather irrelevant lady.
01:13:12Oh, Patsy!
01:13:14Did you hear what he called me?
01:13:16Yes, you must stand down.
01:13:18God bless your honour and her ladyship.
01:13:21If so be, there's such a lucky woman
01:13:23as to be wed to your holiness.
01:13:26Michael Cassidy!
01:13:28From his rub to his shoulders,
01:13:29he's attested a sheepdog,
01:13:31but he's got the muzzle of a setter
01:13:32and the ears of a cock or spaniard.
01:13:35And he's a wise look at him like an Irish terrier.
01:13:38And he's a soldier-like tail like a Pomeranian.
01:13:41And he's got the sad, noble eyes of a poodle.
01:13:44In fact, he's not so much dog.
01:13:47That's an epitome of all the dogs
01:13:49that ever run round this world on four legs.
01:13:52It is what's he worth?
01:13:53Six naepins.
01:13:55My lord, what has this to do with the case?
01:13:57I'm establishing motive by a process of elimination.
01:14:00Must you eliminate the entire population
01:14:02of the British Islands and the Irish Free State?
01:14:04My lord, I object to this witness.
01:14:06I don't.
01:14:09What did you say?
01:14:10I said I had no objection.
01:14:12Are you going to keep quiet?
01:14:13Fairly, not altogether.
01:14:14I'll abandon the case.
01:14:15Good.
01:14:16Really?
01:14:18Milord?
01:14:18Now, now, Mr. Burden, you mustn't speak like that, you know.
01:14:21I realise you're a very young man.
01:14:24And, indeed, I sometimes fail to fathom the younger generation.
01:14:27They seem to have no balance, no stability.
01:14:30What with swing music, automatic gambling machines,
01:14:33and the encouragement given to idleness and loose living
01:14:35by the British Broadcasting Corporation.
01:14:37What are you laughing at, Mr. Minges?
01:14:41Was I laughing, my lord?
01:14:42You made a sort of gesture with your features
01:14:44that I've always taken as an expression of amusement.
01:14:47I'm unaware of anything amusing in what I am saying.
01:14:50I hardly fancied you were, my lord.
01:14:51Then, perhaps, you'll refrain from cacinating
01:14:53until you find yourself in a more suitable place for that exercise.
01:14:56With all respect, your lordship misapprehended
01:14:58the exact nature of the gestures
01:14:59to which your lordship was pleased to refer.
01:15:02As a matter of fact, I...
01:15:03I was stifling a very insistent yon.
01:15:05Indeed, Mr. Minges?
01:15:07Perhaps your lordship will now revise your pronouncement
01:15:09as to the suitable place for that exercise.
01:15:12If you wish me, Mr. Minges,
01:15:13to recount the uses for which this place is suitable,
01:15:16I'm quite prepared to do so.
01:15:17For one thing, it is suitable for the exercise
01:15:19of your undoubted talents as defending counsel.
01:15:22Talents which, I may remark, I've not observed
01:15:24to be conspicuously employed on this particular case.
01:15:29May not.
01:15:30Your lordship's opinion of my poor capabilities,
01:15:32expressed, if I may say, in all sincerity
01:15:34with a terseness and clarity
01:15:35that are the credit of the Scottish bar,
01:15:37has left me with no alternative
01:15:38but to withdraw from the case.
01:15:40I have been grossly insulted.
01:15:41Good morning.
01:15:42Let me, Mr. Minges...
01:15:43Silence!
01:15:46And now, my lord, may I defend myself?
01:15:48Well, I can't stop you.
01:15:50You may leave the doctor inside your solicitor.
01:15:52The good name of the...
01:15:55Don't spit at me, sir!
01:15:57But, Mr. Minges, I will...
01:15:59I will...
01:15:59I will...
01:16:00What happened?
01:16:06Willie, Burden's defending himself.
01:16:08What?
01:16:08They've adjourned while the little fool
01:16:09consults his solicitor.
01:16:11I'm delighted to hear it.
01:16:18Hello.
01:16:18Hello.
01:16:19A petition.
01:16:21Nice of you to pop in.
01:16:22I thought you didn't want to see me again.
01:16:24This is a public court, isn't it?
01:16:25No, I see.
01:16:26You've come to see me hanged.
01:16:27Well, it looks like it.
01:16:28You seem determined to throw away your case.
01:16:30Well, it's my case, isn't it?
01:16:32Well, don't be a fool, Frank.
01:16:36Did I hear you call me Frank?
01:16:37You can't talk to a witness for the prosecution.
01:16:41Are you a witness?
01:16:42Well, yes, I am, but...
01:16:43Oh, I see, sir.
01:16:44Your father's dragged you into it now.
01:16:45How dare you say things like that?
01:16:47I can't help it, and I was called by the crown, and I...
01:16:49Oh, I understand.
01:16:50You're entitled to say and do exactly what you like.
01:16:52I've been looking for you everywhere.
01:16:53Now, do you know what to do?
01:16:55I know what to do, all right.
01:17:04Father, I beg of you, don't go on with this case.
01:17:07What?
01:17:07Well, of course I shall go on with it.
01:17:08At least I won't.
01:17:09It isn't my case.
01:17:10But the crown will.
01:17:11The court sends fashion.
01:17:12The law has been set in motion, and the law must operate.
01:17:16I intend to be vindicated.
01:17:18Oh, but, Father, you must listen to me.
01:17:20Don't take me notice of her, will he?
01:17:22William Gow.
01:17:23William Gow.
01:17:32Now, now.
01:17:34Oh, Mr. Skirving, can you help me?
01:17:37I must get into the court, and they won't let me in because I'm a witness.
01:17:39Oh, I see.
01:17:40Well, I'll just keep him busy, and you slink in.
01:17:43Oh, thank you.
01:17:44Oh, and Victoria, listen.
01:17:46Don't think too hardly of Lisbeth.
01:17:48I won't.
01:17:49Donald.
01:17:50Yes, sir?
01:17:51Who are you keeping?
01:17:52Oh, bonnie, man, bonnie.
01:17:54That's fine.
01:17:54Tell me, how's that wee daughter of yours getting on with the ballet dancing?
01:17:57Oh, man, she's grand.
01:17:59She's just up.
01:18:00In short, you've the strongest reason to believe that you've been the victim of deliberate and
01:18:04persistent persecution.
01:18:06Absolutely.
01:18:08Mr. Burden, do you wish to cross-examine?
01:18:11I'll say I do.
01:18:12Silence.
01:18:15Silence.
01:18:20Now, Mr. Gow, when did this so-called persecution start?
01:18:24The night you organized a pack of hooligans to break up my meeting.
01:18:26Oh, no, no.
01:18:27Before that.
01:18:28What about my article?
01:18:29Wasn't that part of the persecution?
01:18:31Certainly it was.
01:18:32Then I'll ask you again.
01:18:34When did the persecution start?
01:18:36I suppose you want me to say when Mrs. Hegarty came to my house.
01:18:39Exactly.
01:18:40She came to you very distressed.
01:18:41No doubt.
01:18:42But she didn't take her grievance to the proper quarter.
01:18:44Didn't she?
01:18:45Weren't you the provost, the father of his people?
01:18:47Yes, yes.
01:18:48But if I happen to be distressed by a burst pipe, shall we say, I don't take my distress
01:18:53to the Prime Minister.
01:18:54I get a plumber in a manner of speaking, Milad.
01:18:57Well, in a manner of speaking, sir, Mrs. Hegarty probably thought you were the plumber.
01:19:01Mr. Burden.
01:19:03Silence.
01:19:06So you were surprised the day after Mrs. Hegarty's visit when your
01:19:09meeting refused to listen to you.
01:19:10Nothing surprises me in Bickey.
01:19:12Oh, then it didn't surprise you they should take a strong line with a canting humbug who...
01:19:16Milad, I object.
01:19:17Mr. Burden, I hope perhaps to warn you that this sort of thing is impressing me very unfavorably.
01:19:21Very unfavorably indeed.
01:19:23Go on.
01:19:24So you vented your annoyance on a poor woman and her dog.
01:19:27You took her barrow.
01:19:28I did nothing of the sort.
01:19:29As for being a poor woman...
01:19:31You took her barrow.
01:19:32Well, she seems to have done very well out of it.
01:19:33Very insolent of her, Mr. Gao.
01:19:35Look here.
01:19:41Why do you suppose the whole town turned against you all of a sudden?
01:19:44Because you deliberately set yourself to make trouble.
01:19:46What do you suppose our motive was for that?
01:19:47How should I know?
01:19:49Self-advancement, I should think.
01:19:51I did it because I'm an ordinary sort of man.
01:19:53And when I see a bully and a coward...
01:19:55Behave yourself, Mr. Burden.
01:19:56You're throwing away your case.
01:19:57I'm trying to get at the truth.
01:19:59Why can't he be a man?
01:20:00Why does he go sneaking around persecuting widows and little mongrel dogs?
01:20:03Lord, I dig it.
01:20:04You don't say control yourself.
01:20:05I'll stand up to anyone who hits above the belt.
01:20:08Who hit you below the belt?
01:20:09You did.
01:20:10In what way?
01:20:10You whirmed your way into my family circle.
01:20:12Stop that.
01:20:13I won't have your family circle mentioned in this court.
01:20:16You won't have it.
01:20:17If you'd shown a little decent feeling earlier on...
01:20:20Stop, stop.
01:20:21What's all this about Mr. Gao's family circle?
01:20:24Ask him.
01:20:25Milord, the reference must be to Mr. Gao's daughter.
01:20:28She's a witness of the prosecution.
01:20:29Yes, Milord.
01:20:30That's the sort of man he is.
01:20:31Mr. Burden.
01:20:32But it's scandalous.
01:20:33Be quieter.
01:20:34I won't be quiet.
01:20:35I'm calling her next, Milord.
01:20:37No, you're not.
01:20:40Siren!
01:20:43Siren!
01:20:45Come out here, you.
01:20:47Now, who are you and what did you say?
01:21:04I'm Mr. Gao's daughter and I said I wasn't being called as a witness.
01:21:07Why not pray?
01:21:08Because I can't give evidence.
01:21:09Oh, yes, you can.
01:21:10We'll see about that.
01:21:11Oh, but I can't.
01:21:12And why not?
01:21:14Because the accused and I are husband and wife.
01:21:25But is this true?
01:21:28Yes.
01:21:30Milord, I must ask for an adjournment.
01:21:33But I can't keep on adjourning.
01:21:35Milord, this is a profound shock.
01:21:37Oh, very well.
01:21:49Oh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
01:21:51They're married.
01:21:52And a wife can't give evidence against her husband.
01:21:56That's the law.
01:21:59Send Mr. Burden here at once.
01:22:00You can't do that, sir.
01:22:01It's most a rigour.
01:22:03Do as I tell you.
01:22:04Oh, Vicky.
01:22:05I tell you what, Willie.
01:22:07Oh, don't start yammering at me.
01:22:09You've done a nice thing.
01:22:10Well, I asked you not to go on with the case.
01:22:12Why didn't you tell me?
01:22:14I can't have a son-in-law serving six months.
01:22:16You sent for me?
01:22:22What do you mean by marrying my daughter?
01:22:26I haven't.
01:22:28What?
01:22:28I only just said that.
01:22:31We haven't seen each other since I left the house.
01:22:33Then why in heaven's name?
01:22:34To stop you.
01:22:35Huh?
01:22:36To save you both from your stupid pride.
01:22:38But do you realise what she's done?
01:22:41They can handle her contempt.
01:22:43For my...
01:22:45It's worse.
01:22:46It's perjury.
01:22:47Yes.
01:22:50Oh.
01:22:58Stop the case.
01:22:59What?
01:23:00Well, I can't stop the case.
01:23:01And I won't stop the case.
01:23:02Willie.
01:23:03You've insufficient evidence.
01:23:03Oh, very well.
01:23:04I'll put you back in the box.
01:23:05Willie.
01:23:06No, you won't.
01:23:07Oh, you can't make a fool of the crowd.
01:23:08You can't force me in.
01:23:09And you can't bully me.
01:23:10You go back in that box.
01:23:11Go along, Gow.
01:23:12Very well.
01:23:12Willie.
01:23:13Oh, go to please this woman.
01:23:16Horace.
01:23:16He called me a woman.
01:23:18All right, my dear.
01:23:19Yes.
01:23:19Now, Mr. Gow, the news you've just heard is, of course, a great shock to you.
01:23:31No.
01:23:33Silence.
01:23:36But do you mean to tell the court that you condone this manoeuvre on the part of the panel?
01:23:40Yes.
01:23:40Silence.
01:23:40Silence.
01:23:40Silence.
01:23:43Silence.
01:23:44Silence.
01:23:46Mr. Gow, it was with your consent that this scoundrel...
01:23:49My lord.
01:23:50May I make a mistake?
01:23:51My lord, I please.
01:23:52Go on, Mr. Gow.
01:23:53I want to say that in my considered opinion,
01:24:00Mr. Burden was fully justified in all the actions he took against me.
01:24:06I think Mr. Burden misjudged me, but he misjudged me without malice.
01:24:11Hooray, Mr. Trois!
01:24:23Clear the court! Clear the court!
01:24:27Clear the town! Clear the town!
01:24:32I hadn't fully realized that a public man is apt to get above himself.
01:24:37I'm grateful to Mr. Burden for bringing me back to earth.
01:24:40In regard to Mrs. Hegarty and her dog, Patsy,
01:24:44I forgot to apply one of the great principles of my life.
01:24:48It is this.
01:24:50It is only the realization
01:24:51the sympathetic realization,
01:24:56the deeply sympathetic realization
01:24:59that each unit in the state
01:25:02is a living, breathing soul,
01:25:06each with his own aspirations,
01:25:09each with his own peculiarly intense perception
01:25:12of his own rights and his own wrongs.
01:25:16A leader must have that strange sixth sense
01:25:22that enables him to see into the hearts of his people,
01:25:28to feel in his own flesh
01:25:30and in his own blood
01:25:32the wounds and distresses they suffer.
01:25:35to a leader
01:25:38even though the least of his feelings.
01:25:42the awareness of his inner voice
01:25:45was killed.
