00:00Tomorrow they come between us, but here's to tonight.
00:17But I can only punish friendship.
00:30Remember how we told each other that Hayden and company was going to be different?
00:38What do you mean?
00:39You know what I mean.
00:40Your father's selling the public condemned beef.
00:43He's bribing public officials to let him get away with it.
00:45He's only doing what every other packer does.
00:47Martha, our love and marriage grew out of those plans.
00:51Our marriage has been a success, even if our plans haven't.
00:55Has it?
00:56You must sacrifice everything for success.
00:58Trample on the world's neck.
01:00There's nothing in it but you and your dream.
01:02That's the way I'll travel to the top.
01:04John, how I want you to come with me.
01:06I'll go with you, Laura.
01:08Promise me to be ruthless.
01:11Ruthless is our love.
01:12We want those war contracts.
01:28The public be damned.
01:30I have a mind to kick you out of the club.
01:32John, what are you mad?
01:33Yes, maybe I am.
01:35But it's madmen who run the world.
01:37I'll be the biggest power in the world before I'm through.
01:40The man behind the food supply.
01:42Me, Hayden.
01:43You'll probably leave me now, but you can't ever forget me.
01:57Any more than I shall forget you.
01:59I can't forget you.
02:00Well, I'll show you.
02:02You think I've reached the peak.
02:03Well, I'll show you a new peak.
02:05I'll climb to it without your infernal influence and friendship.
02:08I'm going out of build, build so high that you'll never be able to see me from where you stand.
02:14I'll show you.
02:15I'll show you.
02:38I'll show you.
