00:00Les, for everything I said the other night, I'm terribly sorry.
00:04I guess I was a little mixed up myself.
00:08Forgive me, darling.
00:10I must have been out of my mind to say such awful things to you.
00:14I realized the truth later.
00:17You were afraid for me because you loved me.
00:19That was it, wasn't it?
00:21Yeah, maybe it was.
00:23I just couldn't believe that...
00:25Look, let's forget all about it.
00:27We know there's nothing to worry about.
00:28There never was.
00:30We know that, don't we, Les?
00:34Sure, Claire.
00:37Sure.
00:45Here's to our new congressman.
00:47May your career be long and successful.
00:49Thank you, darling.
00:50Jeff, but aren't you both a bit early?
00:53I only wish I could be as sure of my future in psychiatry
00:55as you can be of your future in Washington.
00:58Doctor, you were analyzing me at dinner.
01:03The workings of my mind.
01:05Do go on.
01:06It's very interesting.
01:07I've never been psychoanalyzed before, and your deductions amaze me.
01:11Claire, I warn you, if Jeff continues, he'll have you convinced you're baffy.
01:14Simply because your father ran away with another woman
01:16and your mother was relegated to hard work.
01:19Stanley doesn't quite believe in the powers of psychoanalysis, Mrs. Hanneman.
01:23But if either of you could spend a day in my office listening to some of my patients,
01:27you'd see the logic of my deductions.
01:29Or any psychiatrists, for that matter.
01:31Oh, don't mind Stanley's cynicism, Doctor.
01:35Yes, Robert?
01:35Telephone for Mr. Mason.
01:38Excuse me.
01:39Certainly.
01:39I was telling you at dinner that I believed that money, clothes, adulation, etc.
01:48was a necessity with you.
01:49That some people are impelled towards an objective without even consciously knowing why.
01:54Is there something criminal in my being ambitious?
01:57Why, no, criminal.
02:00Of course not.
02:01Unless your ambitions take a perverse form.
02:04Then you'll stop at nothing, right or wrong, to get what you want.
02:08They say the female of the species is deadlier than the male.
02:12Go on, Doctor.
02:13Sorry to interrupt, darling.
02:15This is my campaign manager.
02:16He arranged a last-minute radio interview for tonight.
02:19I'll have to leave.
02:21You can drop me off downtown, Stanley.
02:23I'll get my coat.
02:24All right.
02:25Will you forgive me, darling?
02:26Of course, honey.
02:28I'm so proud of you.
02:32Well, I almost forgot the good news.
02:34I had lunch with the D.A. this noon.
02:36It looks like Hanneman's murder is going to be filed away and the crime's unsolved.
02:39It, uh...
02:40Is there opinion that it must have been done by a burglar?
02:43Oh, I'm so glad, really.
02:46Now I'll be able to go with you to Washington with a clear conscience.
02:49Say, you haven't told any of your friends about our plans, have you?
02:51Oh, no, of course not.
02:53Good.
02:53We'll surprise them tomorrow night.
02:55Yes, we certainly will.
02:57Ready?
02:58Yes, thank you.
03:04Good night, Claire.
03:05Good night.
03:06Uh, Mrs. Hanneman, please don't take my mental probing too seriously.
03:12You're a very charming hostess.
03:14So don't worry.
03:16I never worry.
03:18Good night.
03:18Good night.
03:19Good night.
03:19Good night.
03:19Good night.
03:19Good night.
03:20Good night.
03:21Good night.
03:21Good night.
03:25Good night.
03:27Good night.
03:31Good night.
03:32Hello?
03:33Yes.
03:33This is Mrs. Hanneman.
03:35That's all right, Roberts.
03:36I'll take it.
03:37Hello?
03:38Who?
03:39Who? How dare you call me here?
03:42I had to. I'm in a jam. I need some dough, and you've got to help me.
03:46The estate isn't settled yet. I told you I don't have any money.
03:49Don't give me that. You're a smart girl. If you haven't got it, you know where you can find it.
03:53I need at least a couple of grand now and tonight, or else I go to the cops.
03:57I've got nothing to lose.
03:58I have about 700 cash in my jewelry.
04:00All right, bring it along. Meet me near the Old Valley Road.
04:04Be there in 20 minutes.
04:09Did anybody follow you?
04:31No.
04:32Then stop being nervous.
04:34I'm not nervous. You are.
04:36All right, give me this stuff, and let's see if I can use it.
04:42These look all right.
04:44I got into the bookies for a couple of grand.
04:47They're bad little men.
04:50And I've been stalling.
04:52Tonight they told me, pay off or else.
04:55They wouldn't kill you for $2,000.
04:58They'd kill for a lot less.
05:00That's why I had to put the bite on you.
05:02Thanks, Mrs. Hanneman.
05:08I wouldn't double-cross anybody.
05:10It's not unless I had to.
05:13I wouldn't double-cross anybody either, Blackie.
05:16Unless I had to.
05:17The first returns have been received from the 12th Precinct.
05:44Mason, 311, Jeffers, 282, and Allen, 91.
05:52That just about cinches it.
05:54If I can do that well in the 10th, I can carry them all.
05:56My gratitude, Doyle.
05:57Without your paper in back of me, I wouldn't have had a chance.
06:00Think nothing of it, Mr. Mason.
06:02We're glad we backed the right man.
06:06Well, it looks like you're in, Mr. Mason.
06:08Congratulations.
06:08Have you seen Les and Clary yet tonight?
06:16No, I guess she's waiting to make her brand entrance.
06:19That's about a hundred times you've asked for them, Hack.
06:21What gives?
06:22Uh, nothing.
06:30Mr. Doyle, looks like we have a new congressman.
06:33Yes, it does.
06:35I'm sure he's going to be a good one.
06:36I hope so.
06:37We backed him.
06:41Hello, Claire.
06:42Hi, Les.
06:43Hi, Hack.
06:44Well, good evening, Claire.
06:46You look stunning, as usual.
06:47Thank you, Stanley.
06:48Oh, hello, Les.
06:49Thanks for being careful of me.
06:52Big night, huh?
06:52In third place is Jeffers with 162, Allen with 142, and Mason, 300 even.
07:00That's how big it is.
07:01Come on, Claire.
07:02I want you to meet some folks.
07:03You'll find drinks in there.
07:09Look, Les, there's something on my mind.
07:10I want to tell you about it.
07:12Uh, you better have a drink first.
07:15Sure.
07:15Sure.
07:22Hi, folks.
07:24How's the brawl?
07:25Well, at least the liquor's good.
07:28Well, Junie, aren't you a pretty thing tonight?
07:30Well, it's about time you noticed me.
07:32The trouble with you men is you always have ink in your eyes down at the office.
07:36Have a fresh one?
07:37No, thank you.
07:37This will do.
07:39Les, hmm?
07:40I'll talk to you for a minute.
07:42Excuse us.
07:47What gives?
07:48Uh, did you come with Claire, Mike?
07:51No, no, I came with my Aunt Martha from Penobscot.
07:53No, I'm serious.
07:55You saw her come in with me.
07:58You better get her out of your system, but right now.
08:00What are you talking about?
08:01Things are fine with us now.
08:03She couldn't be sweeter.
08:04You should have seen her earlier, helping me get things ready for that little party up at my place tonight.
08:09How about a speech, Mr. Mason?
08:10We haven't had one.
08:11Come on, Stanley.
08:12Yeah, give us a speech.
08:13That's all I need.
08:14Now, wait a minute.
08:16Speech?
08:17All right.
08:17If you want a speech, you shall have it.
08:18Ladies and gentlemen, I want to introduce to you a very lovely young woman, better known to you as Claire Cummings.
08:25I am happy to announce that she has bestowed upon me the great honor of consenting to become my wife.
08:36This is a dirty, low-down trick, but I'm glad it's happened.
08:40Someday I'll tell you why.
