00:04:29Gloria Hegarty
00:04:31Open in the name of the law
00:04:33and no nonsense, do you hear?
00:04:35We'll have to affect an entry.
00:04:37Looks like we'll have to affect an entry.
00:04:41Look what you're doing, man.
00:04:43Will you confine your operations to the door?
00:04:45Stop it now!
00:04:46Will you be having me house a heap of ruins
00:04:47and me and Patsy in the midst of them?
00:04:49Aight, Patsy were after.
00:04:50Bring him out and let him come quiet.
00:04:52Hear nothing of the sort, come quiet.
00:04:54Then I'll break the door door.
00:04:56Just you, try it.
00:04:58One,
00:05:00two,
00:05:01three.
00:05:02You're obstructing the law?
00:05:04If the law's obstructing me.
00:05:05It'll all go against him.
00:05:06What's he done?
00:05:07And him as innocent as a new-born angel?
00:05:08He should have paid the license.
00:05:10License, is it?
00:05:11If a grand big cunt of the like of this
00:05:13is needing seven and six of us from the like of me,
00:05:15it's time it went on the dough the same as the rest of us.
00:05:17Ah, man, dear.
00:05:19It's not for license money.
00:05:20It's the fine.
00:05:21Five pounds.
00:05:22Five pounds.
00:05:23Five for persistent infringement.
00:05:24Oh, where would the like of me get five pounds?
00:05:26Standing next to naked in the dead of summer
00:05:28with the wind whistling down from up the pole
00:05:30and me trying to sell ice cream for a bunch of frozen corpses?
00:05:33Ah!

00:06:27Patsy!
00:06:28Well, who are you?
00:06:29Oh, I'm Maggie.
00:06:30Where's Jessie?
00:06:31Oh, she left.
00:06:32You'll be Miss Victoria?
00:06:33Yes.
00:06:36I'm sorry, I can't help it.
00:06:38Oh, it's okay by me.
00:06:39That's a relief.
00:06:40Where's the provost?
00:06:41Oh, your dad's busy.
00:06:43And what's all this?
00:06:44A football match?
00:06:45It's politics.
00:06:46It's in the early calendar.
00:06:48I see.
00:06:49Well, go and unpack my things, will you?
00:06:52Okay.
00:06:53And don't say okay.
00:06:54What-o?
00:06:55Oh, and tell me.
00:06:57Why did Jessie leave?
00:06:59Oh, she didn't approve.
00:07:04Citizens of Bickey, in full confidence of your loyalty,
00:07:06I, your provost, invite your presence at my inaugural meeting
00:07:09at the town hall Bickey on Friday next.
00:07:12Signed, William Goe.
00:07:14Ha.
00:07:15Good day, calendar.
00:07:16Aye.
00:07:17A bit personal.
00:07:18Oh, that's it, don't you see?
00:07:19Psychology.
00:07:20Oh, psychology.
00:07:22Loyalty.
00:07:23Ah, it's a fine word.
00:07:24They can't resist it.
00:07:25Hello.
00:07:27Hello, Bickey.
00:07:29My dear.
00:07:30Father.
00:07:31Oh, it's grand to see you again.
00:07:33How are you, Bailey?
00:07:35None but you've turned into a great mother.
00:07:38Changed days since you fell into my pigsties.
00:07:40Yes, yes, don't bother about pigsties now.
00:07:42We've got to get to that council meeting.
00:07:43Talking of meetings, you might have met me at the pier.
00:07:46Oh, I'm sorry about that, Bickey, but it was absolutely impossible.
00:07:49Your father's a busy man.
00:07:51There's great events for tending.
00:07:53I'm standing for parliament, Bickey.
00:07:55I know that.
00:07:56I've seen a few posters.
00:07:58But you don't know why I'm standing.
00:08:00You see, Bickey, these are exceptional times.
00:08:02And such times require exceptional measures.
00:08:07And exceptional men.
00:08:09Hear, hear.
00:08:10Being provost of Bickey is all very well in its way, but...
00:08:14Did you do this, Callender?
00:08:15Yes.
00:08:17I've done my best for the place, tried to keep it up to date.
00:08:20I've built them a new town hall, a new swimming pool,
00:08:23the most elaborate public conveniences,
00:08:25a cursile for the tourists.
00:08:27I hope you haven't spoiled Bickey, father.
00:08:29They said in the advertiser that I'm the best administrator
00:08:31in the country.
00:08:32I'm sure you're a great success.
00:08:34I should be.
00:08:35I work hard enough.
00:08:37Tomorrow, I'm opening the Croy cattle show,
00:08:39and I have my big election meeting at night.
00:08:41And the day after, now this is strictly confidential, Bickey,
00:08:44Lord Scarifor is coming.
00:08:46Who's Lord Scarifor?
00:08:47Why, the leader of the party, of course.
00:08:49Oh, you'll note that he comes to see the provost.
00:08:52The provost doesn't go to see him.
00:08:54Well, he knows I have the Caledonia League behind me.
00:08:57And it's not Bickey or Scotland,
00:09:00but Scotsmen all over the empire.
00:09:02Aye, it's a big thing, a grand big thing.
00:09:05There's no saying how big it may be.
00:09:07If I pull this off, the time may come
00:09:09when I shall be listened to by the whole world.
00:09:19The profession of journalism is an honorable one.
00:09:22What?
00:09:23The profession of journalism is honorable.
00:09:26Oh, oh yes, Father.
00:09:27I have nothing to be ashamed of in the conduct of my paper.
00:09:31What?
00:09:32I have nothing to be ashamed of.
00:09:35Oh, good.
00:09:36Nothing sensational ever enters my columns.
00:09:39Why not?
00:09:40I said...
00:09:45Sit down.
00:09:46Yes.
00:09:47Oh, no, not there.
00:09:48Over there.
00:09:49Oh, that's right.
00:09:51Mr. Burden,
00:09:53you've joined the most widely read people on the west coast.
00:09:56I suppose people have nothing else to do.
00:09:58Will you have a cigarette, sir?
00:09:59No smoking in hours.
00:10:01Oh.
00:10:03Mr. Burden,
00:10:05a reporter on the advertisers,
00:10:07a position of very great trust.
00:10:09Now, I'm away to Manchester tonight,
00:10:11but unfortunately, my sub-editor's in bed.
00:10:13Oh, I'm sorry.
00:10:14What's the trouble?
00:10:15He's got lumbago.
00:10:16Oh.
00:10:17But the point is,
00:10:18I promised our provost to page in tomorrow's issue,
00:10:20and you will have to take the interview
00:10:22and see it through the press.
00:10:23Now, can you do that, Burden?
00:10:25No smoking.
00:10:27Why, this is, of course.
00:10:30Yes, what's the article about?
00:10:32Well, provost Gow standing for the new party.
00:10:35What's new about it?
00:10:36For one thing, Scotland for the Scottish.
00:10:38Oh, does somebody else want it?
00:10:40That'll do, Burden.
00:10:42Mr. Burden.
00:10:45Mrs. Scurvy.
00:10:47Horace, we'll miss that train.
00:10:49Well, I was waiting for you.
00:10:51Oh, Mr. Burden, my wife.
00:10:53How do you do?
00:10:54How do you do?
00:10:55Oh, well, you can't expect the Colonel's lady
00:10:57to know the sanitary man's mate.
00:10:59I beg your pardon?
00:11:02Oh, well, way over to the town hall,
00:11:04you'll just about get the provost.
00:11:06Yes, sir.
00:11:07The town hall's that cast direction opposite, isn't it?
00:11:09I'll have you know the provost built that.
00:11:12Oh.
00:11:13Oh, well, then I'll take another look at it.
00:11:17What a little brat.
00:11:18Ah, he's English, I think.
00:11:21Well, let's away with him, Mr. Train.
00:11:23I'll look in on Willie and say goodbye.
00:11:25Oh, what for?
00:11:28Oh, Willie's lovely town hall.
00:11:39Is 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.
00:11:51I'll go round in a minute. Now, clear up.
00:11:53Oh, Victoria, you'd better go off into the gallery to see the fan.
00:12:00Father, can I ask you something?
00:12:02Well, I'm rather busy.
00:12:04Why did you sack Jesse?
00:12:06Jesse, what?
00:12:08Oh, the parlor maid.
00:12:09She got a bit above herself, Vicki,
00:12:11and Lisbeth very kindly disposed of her for me.
00:12:13Lisbeth?
00:12:14Now, who's mentioning my name?
00:12:18Why, Victoria, I wouldn't have recognized you.
00:12:20How nice of you to look in and welcome me back.
00:12:23Yes.
00:12:24You've quite grown up, dear.
00:12:26Well, Willie, I just looked in to say goodbye.
00:12:29That was good of you, Lisbeth.
00:12:31I'll be back in time for the meeting.
00:12:32Oh, don't you worry.
00:12:33I couldn't do without you on the platform.
00:12:36No, I don't think you could.
00:12:39Well, I must dash now, or Horace will have the jitters.
00:12:43How is Horace?
00:12:44Oh, just his old self.
00:12:52Now, gentlemen, please, you're wasting time.
00:12:54The provis has decided.
00:12:57Next business.
00:12:58Item number seven.
00:13:00The bathing drawers for the instructors at the new swimming pool.
00:13:03As chairman of the Cleansing and Parks Committee,
00:13:06I have looked into these drawers very carefully,
00:13:09and they certainly present some problems.
00:13:12Now, this is the sort of garment I would suggest I...
00:13:15But, 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.
00:13:23Whether we select the unscutted and elongated,
00:13:27or the scutted and abbreviated.
00:13:30In other words, either we decide upon an adequate drapery with limited mobility,
00:13:36or desirable mobility with an inadequate drapery.
00:13:41Neither, in my opinion, are really satisfactory.
00:13:44We have to satisfy the...
00:13:45I move that the bathing drawers lay on the table.
00:13:47Sit down.
00:13:48Next business.
00:13:49Item 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.
00:13:58She 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 affection.
00:14:04I move that the whole matter be postponed for further investigation.
00:14:07But, Mr. Provost...
00:14:09Will you kindly resume your seat?
00:14:10Next business.
00:14:11Overbearing sort of bloke, isn't he?
00:14:13Who?
00:14:14The headmaster.
00:14:15Mr. Provost, with regard to my objection to that...
00:14:18Don't bring that up again, please.
00:14:19You made a mistake.
00:14:20I don't think so.
00:14:21The trouble is, you don't think at all.
00:14:23Next business.
00:14:25She's not very careful.
00:14:26She'll put in a corner and give him a thousand lines.
00:14:28Item here.
00:14:34I have an application from Ross, the stoker of the municipal laundry...
00:14:37...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...
00:14:45...we're only asking for a fourth pair of twins.
00:14:47Certainly right if he had four pairs of twins.
00:14:49On second thoughts, thank the Lord he hasn't.
00:14:51Gentlemen, we've something more important to discuss...
00:14:57...than Mr. Ross's weekly milk bill.
00:14:59We'll hand the matter to the Ways and Means Committee.
00:15:01We will now discuss my scheme...
00:15:03...for publicizing Becky throughout the country...
00:15:05...as a tourist resort.
00:15:06You've had copies of the detailed memorandum I've drawn up...
00:15:09...and I'll assume that you've all taken the trouble to read it.
00:15:14That fella gives me a pain in the neck.
00:15:19Oh, dear.
00:15:22Honoria.
00:15:23Mackellar, where in heaven's name have you been?
00:15:26You can't come here.
00:15:27No, no, I can't do anything else.
00:15:29I can't sit here with me two hands folded in front of me...
00:15:31...like patients on a document.
00:15:32But they're about to adjourn.
00:15:34The provost will be coming.
00:15:35It's himself I'm Arthur.
00:15:37Oh, he won't see you, Honoria.
00:15:39He won't avoid it.
00:15:40There was one important item that was no on the agenda.
00:15:44We are wanting your authorization for the purchase of new...
00:15:47...nistercian 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.
00:15:58Seems I know all about you.
00:15:59It is myself, Honoria Hegarty.
00:16:00Yes, ma'am.
00:16:01I've got 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 as 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.
00:16:10But 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.
00:16:15And what for should I be listening?
00:16:16I'm in for to talk to you before.
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 to give you a tenant 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.
00:16:30And 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.
00:16:39Burdened.
00:16:40Are you coming?
00:16:45Jock.
00:16:53Get in.
00:17:00Go on, men.
00:17:06Well, move up.
00:17:07Oh, this is my daughter, Victoria.
00:17:08Move up.
00:17:09How do you do?
00:17:10How do you do?
00:17:11How do you do?
00:17:15If you knew my Patsy, you wouldn't have a grinder like that from east to west all over your face.
00:17:19Oh, God.
00:17:20I 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 in the chest, Honorio.
00:17:28Patsy.
00:17:29Patsy, me darling boy.
00:17:30The light of his mother's eyes.
00:17:31Oh, me funny, beautiful Patsy.
00:17:34Me lovely Patsy.
00:17:35And what in the name of the holy apostrophe is he doing here in your own clean apartment in a wooden box?
00:17:40But can I have them at the police station?
00:17:42You see, it's this way.
00:17:43The police sergeant's bull terrier bitch shit.
00:17:47Well, what is it, man?
00:17:48Speak out.
00:17:49Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:17:53And seeing I'm the bar officer, I've given him the custody.
00:17:57Isn't he the fine little fella?
00:17:59Oh, he's that, Honorio.
00:18:01And he eats like a weak corner.
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.
00:18:08Well, I feel kind of funny with a wee brute.
00:18:14He makes a sort of condemned cell atmosphere about my margins.
00:18:18What's that?
00:18:20You're not going to.
00:18:22You don't mean...
00:18:24I...
00:18:25They can't.
00:18:26They can't.
00:18:39Come on, come on.
00:18:40Yes.
00:18:43Sit down.
00:18:44Oh, thank you.
00:18:45No, no, not there, not there, not there.
00:18:47Oh, no.
00:18:48I hear you're turning politician, Mr. Gow.
00:18:50Politician?
00:18:51Ah, statesman.
00:18:52Father wants to be Prime Minister of the first Scotch Parliament.
00:18:55Scottish, Vicky, Scottish.
00:18:57Help yourself to a Scottish and soda.
00:19:00I'll leave you to it.
00:19:05Hi, what's your name? Are you there?
00:19:07What? Oh, 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.
00:19:12Sit down.
00:19:13Stagnation of public life.
00:19:14What was that?
00:19:15I'm dictating.
00:19:16Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:19:17Don't I take notes and then write it up for you?
00:19:18Write it up?
00:19:19Yeah, you put it into English.
00:19:20You're kindly put down exactly what I say.
00:19:21I'm away to the cattle show early in the morning,
00:19:22and I want a proof of the interview tonight.
00:19:23Yes, very good.
00:19:24Stagnation of public life.
00:19:25Wanted new men.
00:19:26Provost Gow's plain words to the electors.
00:19:27During my turn of office, as Provost of Bakey,
00:19:28I have been instrumental in bringing about great changes in the borough.
00:19:29But there is one change that I shall never make.
00:19:30Oh, Lord.
00:19:31Oh.
00:19:32There is one change that I shall never make.
00:19:33Oh, Lord.
00:19:34Oh.
00:19:35Oh.
00:19:36Oh.
00:19:37Oh.
00:19:38Oh.
00:19:39Oh.
00:19:40Oh.
00:19:41Oh.
00:19:42Oh.
00:19:43Oh.
00:19:44Oh.
00:19:45Oh.
00:19:46Oh.
00:19:47Oh.
00:19:48Oh.
00:19:49Oh.
00:19:50Oh.
00:19:51Oh.
00:19:52Oh.
00:19:53Oh.
00:19:54Oh.
00:19:55Oh.
00:19:56Oh.
00:19:57A change in the principles which guide me.
00:19:59Oh.
00:20:00No.
00:20:01Of course not.
00:20:02Oh.
00:20:03Where did he go?
00:20:04We couldn't come in here.
00:20:05The master's busy.
00:20:06I know that.
00:20:07He's busy righting wrongs.
00:20:08Well, here's another for him.
00:20:09I advise you to scram.
00:20:10All right, Maggie.
00:20:11Well, God bless you, ma'am.
00:20:12May the diva look past you, and look straight into your eyes.
00:20:16Oh, ma'am, dear.
00:20:17It's his honor I'm seeking.
00:20:18But I'm afraid he's giving an interview.
00:20:20Oh, the poor soul.
00:20:21And I am deeply concerned with the well-being of every individual in the community.
00:20:26But, ma'am, I can't wait. It's a matter of life and death. It's about my little patsy.
00:20:33Why, what's the little boy done?
00:20:35Oh, your honour, it's about my patsy.
00:20:36How dare you burst in here?
00:20:38Father!
00:20:38First or not, I've got to do what I've got to do.
00:20:40I'll do it somewhere else.
00:20:41I think some little boy of hers has gotten to a scrape.
00:20:43I won't do it at the town hall.
00:20:44But she says it's very urgent.
00:20:45And now you have the insolence to come cantering into my private house.
00:20:48I think if you got the little chap here and talked to him.
00:20:50If you talked to him, ma'am, he'd bark at you.
00:20:52Bark at us?
00:20:53Victoria, are you mad?
00:20:54Show her out of here at once.
00:20:55I'll understand, Mrs. Hickety, the case of your dog is finished once and for all.
00:20:59Dog?
00:21:00But you told me it was about your little son.
00:21:01No, I ask it.
00:21:02Did I ever tell you anything of the kind?
00:21:04Not but what he's like a son to me.
00:21:06And now, now they're going to kill him.
00:21:09But rubbish.
00:21:10Who's going to kill a little dog?
00:21:12The corporation and the polis and the provost.
00:21:16Father!
00:21:18Father!
00:21:20Is this true about Mrs. Hickety's little dog?
00:21:21She's persistently defied the law in the matter of the dog text.
00:21:24But, Father!
00:21:24She's been warned time and time again.
00:21:26But if it's only seven and sixpence?
00:21:27She's been fine, then she won't pay that.
00:21:29But if it's only seven and sixpence, surely?
00:21:31The court passed judgment, and quite rightly.
00:21:32The town is full of dirty little mongrel dogs.
00:21:34The state of the pavement.
00:21:35How much does she owe?
00:21:36Five pounds in the tax.
00:21:38Well, surely they can make an exception.
00:21:40No, no, no.
00:21:41On va payer pour elle.
00:21:43Mais non, mais non.
00:21:44Quoi pas?
00:21:44Il s'agit d'un principle.
00:21:46Jamais d'un principe, toujours d'un homme.
00:21:48Hear, hear.
00:21:48If you're so keen on dogs, save up and get a new one.
00:21:55A new dog.
00:21:55A new dog.
00:21:56The next time, pay the tax.
00:21:59Vicky, put her up.
00:22:05Now, what was I saying before that unconscionable interview?
00:22:08You were concerned with the well-being of every individual in the community.
00:22:12I'm asking my friends in Bakay to give me an opportunity of applying these principles.
00:22:17I'll subscribe.
00:22:19What?
00:22:20Unless you want to settle on the quiet, of course.
00:22:22Do you mean for that woman?
00:22:23I wouldn't pay up any on principle.
00:22:25Wouldn't it be advisable?
00:22:26Especially when you're asking people to vote for you.
00:22:28Thank you very much.
00:22:29Will you kindly mind your own business?
00:22:31I'm asking my friends in Bakay to give me an opportunity of applying these principles.
00:22:37My lord.
00:22:38Please, come along.
00:22:41You won't put me out.
00:22:42I'll stay here.
00:22:43I won't stay.
00:22:44Will you get out?
00:22:44You won't put me out.
00:22:45Can I help you?
00:22:45I won't get out of here.
00:22:46Do me hire this, Tinko.
00:23:01Get inside.
00:23:02Now, where was I?
00:23:09Applying these principles.
00:23:11Ah, yes.
00:23:11In a wider field.
00:23:13It is the realization that each unit in the state is a living, breathing soul.
00:23:20Will you get on?
00:23:23A living, breathing soul.
00:23:24Each with his own intense perception of his own rights and his own wrongs.
00:23:30A leader must have that strange sixth sense which enables him to see into the hearts of his people.
00:23:43The prophecy is you have to mind the corrections burden.
00:23:45Mr. Burden.
00:23:46Ach away.
00:23:48Ach away yourself.
00:23:49To bed.
00:23:51Go on.
00:24:21Here, are you going to keep the machines waiting all night?
00:24:25Probably.
00:24:26Here, no smoking within hours.
00:24:29Here, have one.
00:24:31Aye.
00:24:42Oatmeal.
00:24:44The food of horses in England and men in Scotland.
00:24:47Where, sir, can you find such horses or such men?
00:24:55Mister.
00:24:56Sir, to you.
00:24:57Have some porridge.
00:24:58Ack away. Did you write that?
00:25:03Listen.
00:25:04I've taken a liking to you, and I'm telling you,
00:25:07seeing you're new at the game, and I'm an old hand.
00:25:09Do you like these?
00:25:11British bacteria and what they do.
00:25:13You're daft.
00:25:14I beg your pardon.
00:25:15Nuts the court in English.
00:25:17You keep your dirty mitts off my breakfast.
00:25:19You're fart.
00:25:22Aye, smile.
00:25:23You'll no stand there worse well on your face like a split melon
00:25:26when the boss in the gaffer gets after you.
00:25:27You're done for.
00:25:28D.O.C.
00:25:29Done for.
00:25:30Where's the golf course?
00:25:39Fart!
00:25:40What the?
00:25:41I'm awfully sorry.
00:25:42Oh, it's you.
00:25:43It's quite all right.
00:25:44You're a little bit late with your four.
00:25:45Well, you're a bit early with your, uh, aft.
00:25:46Donald, please.
00:25:47Well, anyway, why aren't you working?
00:25:48Donald and I are taking the morning off.
00:25:49Would you care to join us?
00:25:50Yes, I'd love to.
00:25:51I'm afraid I've lost my ball.
00:25:52Yes, you do seem to be lying pretty badly.
00:25:53Not lying too well in yourself.
00:25:54Oh, well, let's put two more down.
00:25:55Yes.
00:25:56Come on, Donald.
00:25:57We're going to come.
00:25:58You'll show me the way.
00:25:59Right.
00:26:00Hand me your machine.
00:26:01And the ball.
00:26:02Your game was bad enough when you were by yourself.
00:26:03What will it be now?
00:26:04Sorry about that business of Mrs. Hegarty's dog.
00:26:05Yes, sir.
00:26:06Oh, well, it's not.
00:26:07I'm afraid you're not going to be lying.
00:26:08You're not going to be lying too well in yourself.
00:26:09Oh, well, let's put two more down.
00:26:10Yes.
00:26:11Come on, Donald.
00:26:12I'll bring the cup.
00:26:13Do show me the way.
00:26:14Right.
00:26:15Hand me your machine.
00:26:16And the ball.
00:26:17Your game was bad enough when you were by yourself.
00:26:20What will it be now?
00:26:22Sorry about that business of Mrs. Hegarty's dog.
00:26:31Yes.
00:26:33Yes, 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 all right.
00:26:51Did the Proverbs go to cry this morning?
00:26:53Yes, early.
00:26:54Why?
00:26:55Oh, nothing.
00:26:57Mr. Hegarty.
00:26:58Mr. Hegarty.
00:26:59You're in the papers.
00:27:00What?

00:27:08In the library?

00:28:18This dull bully is holding a political meeting
00:28:21to make a grand parade of his principles.
00:28:25They're not good enough for us, and neither is he.
00:28:32Silence! Silence!
00:28:37Silence in this room.
00:28:40Silence in this room.
00:28:48Congratulations. A magnificent fellow.
00:28:51If we could only apply the knowledge and energy
00:28:53that has gone to the breeding of that animal,
00:28:55to the improvement of the human stock,
00:28:57we could have something like that in three generations.
00:29:01Silence in this room.
00:29:10Silence in this room.
00:29:19Well, thanks for the game.
00:29:21We'll have another when you have the time.
00:29:23Yes, I think I'll have the time.
00:29:26Victoria!
00:29:30What are you doing here with that man?
00:29:32You know, Mr. Burden.
00:29:33I'm one of the untouchables.
00:29:34I'll say you are.
00:29:36Haven't you heard? Something terrible has happened.
00:29:38Horace is off his head.
00:29:39Oh, no, Lisbeth.
00:29:40Have you had the doctor?
00:29:41Oh, don't be silly.
00:29:42Drive me home and I'll tell you.
00:29:44And Horace will deal with you, you cad.
00:29:48What on earth?
00:29:49Oh, get on, Vicky.
00:29:50What on earth will he be saying?
00:29:53Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen,
00:29:55these are exceptional times,
00:29:58and they require exceptional...
00:30:00they require exceptional...
00:30:02exceptional measures,
00:30:03and exceptional men.
00:30:06Pause for applause.
00:30:07Ah, my friends.
00:30:09Were you speaking?
00:30:10I was not.
00:30:11Must have been the differential.
00:30:12Tell me, Dad.
00:30:13How are you doing?
00:30:14I'm speaking.
00:30:17I'm speaking.
00:30:18I'm speaking.
00:30:19We're looking,
00:30:20I'm speaking.
00:30:21I'm talking.
00:30:22You're not in the differential.
00:30:24You're speaking.
00:30:25I'm speaking.
00:30:27You're speaking.
00:30:31I've got my word.
00:30:32You're speaking.
00:30:33I'm speaking.
00:30:34I'm speaking.
00:30:35I'm speaking.
00:30:36Will you see the young gent that called yesterday?
00:30:45What young gent?
00:30:46Him from the newspaper.
00:30:47I think he can't come in.
00:30:48Right-o?
00:30:49And don't say right-o.
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:51He's in.
00:30:54How dare you come and see me?
00:30:56I haven't.
00:30:57I came to see the provost.
00:30:58Well, he's not back.
00:30:59He'll go straight to the hall.
00:31:00Oh, I just want to give him an explanation.
00:31:04I suppose you mean an apology.
00:31:06No, an explanation.
00:31:09Oh, I'd better go.
00:31:10I can't be very pleasant for you to see me.
00:31:14I suppose you know what you've done.
00:31:16You've slaughtered a fine, honorable man.
00:31:18It's despicable.
00:31:20What harm has my father ever done to you?
00:31:22To me, no harm.
00:31:23Then why do you stab him in the back like this?
00:31:26Why did you do it?
00:31:27It's hard to explain.
00:31:29No decent action is ever hard to explain.
00:31:31Oh, perhaps not.
00:31:36You don't mean that idiotic business about that dog.
00:31:39You think it's idiotic?
00:31:40Well, it's so, so small.
00:31:42Impression is never small.
00:31:43Well, no, of course, but it doesn't make sense.
00:31:45You lose your job.
00:31:47You'll never get another one.
00:31:48And all because you got sentimental about a silly old woman and her mongrel dog.
00:31:51So did you.
00:31:52You stuck up for her.
00:31:53Well, I tried to care up after the provost had asserted his authority.
00:31:57That's what women are for.
00:31:58Oh, that's what women are for, are they?
00:32:07Why did you do it?
00:32:09Don't be such a mule.
00:32:10I'm trying to help you.
00:32:12Are you?
00:32:13Are you?
00:32:14Why?
00:32:15Oh, well, never mind why.
00:32:18What sort of man are you, anyhow?
00:32:20Did you ever know a decent sort of chap?
00:32:22I could tell you straight off what sort of decent chap he was.
00:32:24I never knew a man do the mischief you've done for no reason at all.
00:32:27Well, look here.
00:32:28If you really want to know, I'll tell you something I never told.
00:32:32No, I won't.
00:32:33Goodbye.
00:32:50Tell me.
00:32:53Well, when I was a kid,
00:32:57I lived at the foot of a steep hill.
00:32:59Carts used to go up the hill with heavy loads.
00:33:02Sometimes the horses couldn't take the loads and the carters used to hit them.
00:33:05On their flanks, on their bellies, on their eyes and nostrils.
00:33:09And one day I couldn't stick it any longer.
00:33:11I was terrified out of my life.
00:33:12I went for one of the carters.
00:33:14He just put the fat of his hand against my face and sent me spinning into the gutter.
00:33:17So I said to myself,
00:33:19When you grow up, you will hit out.
00:33:22Every time, no matter what it costs.
00:33:25And you've done that?
00:33:27Yes.
00:33:30Get in.
00:33:30Mon, has the advertiser gone mad?
00:33:40I was away.
00:33:41It was a great shock to me.
00:33:42But what are we to do?
00:33:43Does the provis know?
00:33:44I couldn't say.
00:33:45My, but it's awful.
00:33:46Awful.
00:33:47Horace, I want to talk to you.
00:33:48Willie's not here yet.
00:33:51He won't think I had anything to do with it.
00:33:53Oh, don't be stupid.
00:33:54I wonder if he's seen it.
00:33:55Well, if he hasn't, we daren't tell him now, not before his speech.
00:34:01Here he is.
00:34:10Schwan!
00:34:12Schwan!
00:34:14Hello, Vicky.
00:34:15Hello, Vicky.
00:34:16That was a good job you made of my interview.
00:34:17You made the corrections in the proof?
00:34:19Yes.
00:34:27Hello, Vicky.
00:34:31Hello, Callender.
00:34:32A great night, eh?
00:34:35Hello, Horace.
00:34:37We want our way!
00:34:40We want our way!
00:34:42Do you hear them, Willie?
00:34:43Do you hear that?
00:34:44So, they are calling for their Willie.
00:34:46Well, they shall have them there, Willie.
00:34:48Hewlett and Piper, forward.
00:34:51I'll be the front there, Willie.
00:34:52All right.
00:34:53And I think they're calling for them.
00:34:57We want our way!
00:35:29Ladies and gentlemen.
00:35:45Our speaker tonight needs very little introduction from me.
00:35:49There is no one done more for Beaky than Provost God.
00:36:01Tonight, I want you to show him what you really think of him in your hearts.
00:36:08Has Rabbi Wern so wisely said,
00:36:11Oh, would some power the gift a geus
00:36:14to see yourselves as others see us?
00:36:18Yes.
00:36:20Now you give the Provost the power to see himself as you see him tonight.
00:36:26Provost God!
00:36:28Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, I think I may call you my friend.
00:36:48For what is friendship but the will to do and the power to do
00:36:58the best a man can for those with whom he is associated.
00:37:02It is a sacred bond, a beautiful relationship.
00:37:12What's the matter with him, Scotty?
00:37:14A sacred bond, a beautiful relationship.
00:37:17We live, my friends, in exceptional times.
00:37:21And such times require exceptional measures, la, my friends.
00:37:33What is needed today is a firm hand at the helm.
00:37:37The man who will go on and on and up and up.
00:37:40On and on and up and up, always keeping before him
00:37:50the best interests of the whole community.
00:37:55It will be the duty of such a man to protect the oppressed.
00:37:59For what, for what does a man's strength avail him
00:38:15if he does not hold out a helping hand?
00:38:18Oh, where, where, Oh, where道es all come,
00:38:29Oh, where, oh, where can he be With his birth and so many dear's dressing
00:38:36Of love? Oh, where, oh, where can he be?
00:38:39Where, oh, where, oh, where?
00:39:13What's the explanation of this?
00:39:33Oh, where?
00:39:34I never saw the lake in 40 years of Scotch politics.
00:39:37Scottish man, Scottish.
00:39:38Who wrote this filth?
00:39:40I'm afraid I did.
00:39:41You did?
00:39:43Yes, he did.
00:39:47You treacherous little sneak, you dirty rat.
00:39:50Oh, Father, don't. What's the use?
00:39:51You keep out of this.
00:39:52Listen, Mr. Gow.
00:39:53You swimmling little thug.
00:39:54You see, Victoria is no use.
00:39:56Don't you dare to address my daughter.
00:39:57Well, you won't listen to me.
00:39:58Listen to you, you putrid little hack writer.
00:40:00Shut up.
00:40:00What did you say?
00:40:01I said shut up.
00:40:02Oh, Father, do stop.
00:40:03Victoria, I think you're the limit.
00:40:05Go on, Willie.
00:40:06Give the little bounder the hiding he deserves.
00:40:07Yes, my gad.
00:40:08I tell you what I'll do to you, you...
00:40:09Be careful, damn you.
00:40:10I'm rather good at this.
00:40:11Mr. Provost, oh, Mr. Provost, the sergeant says, will you leave the building?
00:40:15Now, what do you mean?
00:40:16Of course I'll leave the building.
00:40:17Aye, but the sergeant says, will you go out by the back way?
00:40:20The back way?
00:40:21What for?
00:40:21The rowdies are getting out of hand.
00:40:31They're throwing stones.
00:40:32Trying to break in.
00:40:40I'll show the rabble when I think of them.
00:40:42Willie, what are you going to do?
00:40:43I'll show them who's provost.
00:40:45Oh, Willie.
00:40:46I can't carry on like a lot of hooligans in my tyrant.
00:40:48Provost.
00:40:48Father, don't you get hurt?
00:40:50I'll deal with you in the morning.
00:40:52And that goes to me.
00:40:54But the sergeant says...
00:40:55Oh, shut up.
00:40:57Victoria.
00:40:57You're not as bad as this, anyway.
00:41:08Open the door.
00:41:09But you can't show yourself who's there, Mr. Gow.
00:41:11No, you can't show yourself who's there.
00:41:13Open that door.
00:41:14Open that door.
00:41:44Open that door.
00:42:14Open that door.
00:42:44Father, about last night...
00:42:54If there's one thing that I can't tolerate, it's disloyalty.
00:42:57Not content with playing golf with a fellow.
00:42:59Who told you about that?
00:43:01Lisbeth, I suppose.
00:43:02Well, she does know what loyalty is.
00:43:04Well, after all, it was before I knew about the article.
00:43:06It was after you knew that you brought him onto the platform.
00:43:09Well, how was I to know that people were going to jeer at you?
00:43:11Now, don't exaggerate, Vicky, please.
00:43:13And it wasn't the people.
00:43:15It was a put-up job organized by that unprincipled little skunk.
00:43:18More coffee, please.
00:43:20Mr. Burden had nothing to do with it.
00:43:21Oh, he hadn't.
00:43:22He had nothing to do with the article, I suppose.
00:43:23I know, I know.
00:43:24But I discussed the whole thing with him.
00:43:26You discussed it with him?
00:43:27Yes.
00:43:27This morning he writes to say that...
00:43:28Oh, he writes.
00:43:31How nice.
00:43:33Well, anyway, if you'd done the right thing,
00:43:35you would have paid the fine yourself.
00:43:37It's all rather trivial.
00:43:38Trivial?
00:43:39Look at this.
00:43:40In the Scottish edition of a London newspaper.
00:43:43Good heavens.
00:43:45Willie, have you seen this?
00:43:47Scottish candidate barked down.
00:43:49Do they think that's funny?
00:43:51What's going to happen at the dinner tonight?
00:43:53Lord Scediver.
00:43:54Party.
00:43:55Something's got to be done and done quickly.
00:43:57Boris is taking Burden round to your office.
00:43:59Good.
00:43:59I'll break that fellow.
00:44:01You'd better be careful.
00:44:03I don't think you know, Mr. Burden.
00:44:07Now, Mr. Burden,
00:44:09I'm going to ask you a few questions
00:44:10and I'll advise you to stick to the truth.
00:44:14Where are we?
00:44:15Berlin?
00:44:15Moscow?
00:44:16Or where?
00:44:16You'll find out where you are.
00:44:18Soon enough.
00:44:19I'm Nordic, if that's what's worrying you.
00:44:21That's enough.
00:44:22Now, you!
00:44:22Be quiet, you little cad.
00:44:28Come on now.
00:44:29How much did they pay you?
00:44:31Or was it a fat job?
00:44:32It's blackmail.
00:44:34What are you talking about?
00:44:35You needn't act the innocent.
00:44:36We know who's backing you, Burden.
00:44:40Come on, speak up, man.
00:44:42What exactly was it worth to you?
00:44:46Oh, no, you don't.
00:44:47We haven't finished with you yet.
00:44:48Not by a longsaw.
00:44:49The opposition paid you to get that muck into the advertiser.
00:44:52And you were at the back of the row, too.
00:44:53The plot unmasked, eh?
00:44:54So you don't deny it?
00:44:56I wouldn't spoil your fun.
00:44:57It'll be no fun for you.
00:44:58You're going to sweat for this.
00:44:59I came here out of my own free will
00:45:01to try and help you out of your mess,
00:45:02though heaven knows why I should.
00:45:03But after your childish insinuation...
00:45:05Wait!
00:45:09Now, this is a withdrawal
00:45:10of the statements you made in your article.
00:45:13And you're going to sign it.
00:45:15I'll read it to you.
00:45:17I, the undersigned...
00:45:18You needn't trouble.
00:45:20No, no, of course not.
00:45:21It's quite in order.
00:45:22Just sign at the bottom.
00:45:24Are you being serious?
00:45:25What do you mean?
00:45:25No.
00:45:26What do you mean, no?
00:45:27I mean, I won't sign it or anything else.
00:45:31You won't sign it?
00:45:32No, I darn well won't.
00:45:32You mean you refuse?
00:45:33That is what I'm trying to convey.
00:45:34But why not?
00:45:35Because every word that I wrote was true.
00:45:37Do you know what this lets you in for?
00:45:38No, I don't care.
00:45:38You can consider yourself sacked.
00:45:40I considered myself that yesterday.
00:45:41You won't find another job.
00:45:42We'll see to that.
00:45:42I'm sure you will.
00:45:43I suppose you know this means an action for, um, for, um...
00:45:46Slander.
00:45:46Aye, slander.
00:45:47And not only civil action, sir,
00:45:49but criminal proceedings.
00:45:50And ten years' penal servitude
00:45:52and twenty strokes of the cat
00:45:53three times a day after food.
00:45:54I don't care.
00:45:55Listen, Mr. Gao.
00:46:01You're not a bad chap at heart,
00:46:03but you've got to remember one thing.
00:46:06The people of this country
00:46:07are the most long-suffering on God's earth.
00:46:10They'll put up with humbug, hypocrisy,
00:46:12shilly-shallying, and hardship.
00:46:14They'll pull in their belts,
00:46:15if they think it's their duty.
00:46:17They'll go to the four corners of the earth
00:46:18and get blown to bits, if needs be.
00:46:20But two things they will not stand.
00:46:23Bullying and cruelty.
00:46:25And if you've forgotten that,
00:46:26I make it my business to remind you.
00:46:35I told you to be careful.
00:46:37And what's more, I think he's quite right.
00:46:40Oh.
00:46:48You are having fun.
00:46:56Blowing off steam.
00:46:57Yes.
00:46:58You're absolutely furious.
00:47:00Yes.
00:47:00But you haven't the vaguest idea
00:47:01what to do about it.
00:47:11Nice breaking china, isn't it?
00:47:13I wish it was his neck.
00:47:16Fathers?
00:47:17Yes.
00:47:18Aren't you being a little childish?
00:47:26Allow me.
00:47:34I suppose your pride's hurt
00:47:36at anyone daring to suspect your motives.
00:47:41You must admit,
00:47:42it's a bit hard for any ordinary person
00:47:43not to think you were bribed.
00:47:44don't break this one.
00:47:59Oh, allow me.
00:48:03You've got yourself into a nice mess,
00:48:07haven't you?
00:48:08I've won something.
00:48:09Never mind that.
00:48:10What are you going to do?
00:48:11Look for another job, I suppose.
00:48:14If you can get one.
00:48:15And what are you going to do
00:48:16in the meanwhile?
00:48:17Have you got any money at all?
00:48:19Syria?
00:48:20No, thanks.
00:48:21You may need them.
00:48:25Frank.
00:48:26Now, don't get excited.
00:48:27I want to ask you a question.
00:48:29Yes, but you call me Frank.
00:48:30Well?
00:48:31Well, that's my name.
00:48:32So I thought.
00:48:32Yes, but it's the first time
00:48:33you've used my name.
00:48:34Well, what about it?
00:48:35It's the first time you've called me Frank.
00:48:37Oh, do listen.
00:48:38Yes, well,
00:48:39lend us another penny.
00:48:40Oh, there.
00:48:44It's difficult to ask you this
00:48:45and you mustn't misunderstand me.
00:48:47Do what father asks.
00:48:49What on earth do you take me for?
00:48:51Eleven stone, six pounds, four ounces.
00:48:54Yes.
00:48:58Now, don't be so obstinate.
00:49:01How can you expect me to knuckle under to him?
00:49:03You know I am right.
00:49:04You said so.
00:49:05I never said you were.
00:49:06I said your motives were.
00:49:11Now, don't ask for another one.
00:49:16Frank, you've made your protest
00:49:17and it was a fine thing to do.
00:49:19That's pig-headedness.
00:49:20And there's nothing new about pig-headedness.
00:49:22It's as old as the pigs.
00:49:24So's this.
00:49:32Frank, be generous.
00:49:35Generous?
00:49:36You've done father a pretty hard knock, you know.
00:49:38You made him ridiculous,
00:49:39which was the worst thing you could do.
00:49:41Why not call it a day?
00:49:44What about Patsy?
00:49:46Well, put it this way.
00:49:48If he behaves decently to Mrs. Hegarty,
00:49:50you will sign the withdrawal.
00:49:51Supposing he won't?
00:49:52He will.
00:49:53He may break his word.
00:49:56Then we'll both tell the world what we think of him.
00:49:58Both?
00:50:00And you're in this with me?
00:50:03It's a deal.
00:50:04It's what I'm telling you.
00:50:07It's tamping me face in the dust they are
00:50:09when it was rising to the stars.
00:50:11With the people buzzing around
00:50:12like there was bees around the hollysuckle
00:50:13and me selling ice creams
00:50:15as if they were hot dogs.
00:50:17Give him his shawl.
00:50:19I'm making enough money to pay me fine
00:50:20and get Patsy back so I can.
00:50:22Oh, Mr. Burden, your honour.
00:50:24They're off for arresting me goods and chattels.
00:50:26What's happening, McKellar?
00:50:27They're seizing her goods for debt.
00:50:28Who are?
00:50:29The authorities.
00:50:30Oh, this is fantastic.
00:50:31Oh, it is that.
00:50:33And they're doing in the wee dog tonight.
00:50:34Oh!
00:50:35Mrs. Burden, your honour, don't be doing any more good for me.
00:50:52I've lost Patsy, I've lost me barra.
00:50:55I'll give her much more I can lose.
00:50:56Get after her, quick.
00:50:58If your father thinks he's going to get away with this,
00:51:06he's made the biggest mistake of his life.
00:51:08Don't you wag that thing at me.
00:51:10The deal's off.
00:51:28The condemned man ate a hearty meal.
00:51:38Patsy, Patsy, go, in, in.
00:51:47Honoria.
00:51:48It's meself.
00:51:50I've come to say goodbye.
00:51:52You didn't say that you were leaving us.
00:51:55It's goodbye to Patsy, Yomadon.
00:51:57Well, step on it.
00:52:00Well, they're coming for him.
00:52:01Patsy.
00:52:09Don't take on her, Honoria.
00:52:10It cannot be helped.
00:52:22There he lies, as if he was in his coffin.
00:52:25I'm real sorry, Honoria, but you can't know half the ills we do in this world without a billion of other fools.
00:52:36That's the truth.
00:52:38Aye.
00:52:38What do you say to a wee drink?
00:52:43Commander, open.
00:52:44No, no, Honoria.
00:52:46In return for your kindness.
00:52:48And leave Patsy.
00:52:49Ah, he'll be all right.
00:52:50You can lock the door.
00:52:51Nobody will know.
00:52:53We'll drink to his dear departing spirit.
00:52:56Sure.
00:52:57Sure, it's only common humanity.
00:53:00Well, I'll get my keys.
00:53:02Only a wee in mind.
00:53:16Mind this, Honoria, the lethal chambers you mean.
00:53:20Just that.
00:53:21You mean.
00:53:21I'm seeking you, McKellar.
00:53:28Oh, it's you.
00:53:30Aye, all six of me.
00:53:32I suppose you know you're keeping the vet waiting.
00:53:34Ah, you're keeping the vet waiting.
00:53:35Whist, whist.
00:53:37Have a heart, have a heart.
00:53:39Do not cause unnecessary pain.
00:53:41Ach, away will you.
00:53:42Come on round to your lodging and hand him over.
00:53:44Is he all right, Your Honour?
00:53:59Whist.
00:54:04Your good health, my dear.
00:54:06Thank you, Lord Scaraborn.
00:54:07Of course.
00:54:08We must all drink to that.
00:54:10Highland honours, Mr. Provost.
00:54:13Aye.
00:54:13Aye.
00:54:14Aye.
00:54:14Aye.
00:54:14Aye.
00:54:15Aye.
00:54:17Slange.
00:54:18Slange.
00:54:23Yes, yes.
00:54:25Well, it's made it.
00:54:25That's right.
00:54:27Well, it's a very nice time.
00:54:31Yes, a very good evening.
00:54:32Very nice.
00:54:33Aye.
00:54:34I think they've all enjoyed themselves.
00:54:36Allow me.
00:54:37Don't be too long with the portlords, Caraborn.
00:54:39No, I won't.
00:54:42Ah, the Lord.
00:54:43Bring the cigars, Hollis, will you? Come over here, my lord.
00:54:47Come over here and finish your pot in comfort, will you?
00:54:51Cigars, my lord.
00:54:57Cigars.
00:54:57Thank you, Hollis.
00:55:04Well, girl.
00:55:06How about your adoption as official candidate?
00:55:09I thought that was settled.
00:55:11I'd hoped it was, but tell me, what's all this about a dog?
00:55:16Why, I don't understand.
00:55:18I mean this, you know, at a by-election, the first to be fought by our party.
00:55:24It's, well, what's it all about?
00:55:27I've heard things, you know, to be awkward if...
00:55:30Oh, you mean, oh, that.
00:55:32Oh, that was just a storm in a teacup.
00:55:34A woman refused to pay her dog license and some young lads made a sort of joke about it.
00:55:39Exuberance of youth, you know.
00:55:41It wasn't an organized thing.
00:55:43Oh, no, no.
00:55:44No, no, no, no.
00:55:49Papers made out there was a bit of a riot.
00:55:51A riot?
00:55:52Oh, that wasn't a riot, was it, Hollis?
00:55:54Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:55:56Just, just fun and games.
00:55:58Try to have a drop of whiskey instead of this pot.
00:56:08Why, of course, my lord.
00:56:09Please do, my lord.
00:56:10Please do, my lord.
00:56:11Please do.
00:56:12Please help yourself, won't you?
00:56:15I understand you're very highly respected in this neighborhood, Mr. Goe.
00:56:20There's no man more respected than the provost.
00:56:22If you understand me, his word is law.
00:56:25Now, in the development of Vicky, he...
00:56:31Popular, too.
00:56:32Extremely popular. Extremely popular.
00:56:35Well, you know, popularity's a tender plant.
00:56:38The tactless handling of a situation might be the end of us.
00:56:41But I've told you, lordship,
00:56:42the whole childish affair is finished and done with.
00:56:50What the devil is that row?
00:57:05What's the meaning of this tomfool riff?
00:57:15Well, really, my lord, I...
00:57:20Willie, Hollis, what is it?
00:57:24Hold that piece.
00:57:31What's all this?
00:57:32What's that photographer doing here?
00:57:34Mr. Provost.
00:57:36Mr. Provost.
00:57:37Oh, Mr. Provost.
00:57:39He's gone. He's gone.
00:57:40Who's gone?
00:57:41Patsy, Mr. Provost.
00:57:43Who is Patsy?
00:57:45Mrs. Hegarty's lord, you dogship.
00:57:48Show him in a teacup, eh?
00:57:51Exuberance of youth, eh?
00:57:53Popular, eh?
00:57:55Call my cat.
00:58:04Yeah.
00:58:05Come on.
00:58:07Stop.
00:58:11The!
00:58:13Uh-uh.
00:58:21Look, Focus.
00:58:22The?
00:58:23The?
00:58:24I
00:58:54Don't encourage them. Help me to call them off.
00:59:11Fancy petting the boot. Put it down.
00:59:24Fancy petting the boot.
00:59:28Get it on.
00:59:31Get it on.
00:59:54Run it, my lord.
00:59:58Please don't go like this. If you only knew Willy, I mean the provost, it's all a terrible mistake.
01:00:03Run it, my lord.
01:00:04Excuse me, my lord.
01:00:10Oh, Horace, what a tragedy.
01:00:13Don't be stupid. Come on.
01:00:20Oh, hello.
01:00:21Hello.
01:00:23I never want to see you again.
01:00:27Come on. Give them here.
01:00:28How are we?
01:00:29How are we?
01:00:30How are we?
01:00:33Call them off, boys. Back lower, boys.
01:00:51What's the start?
01:00:52Oh, Father, don't take it too hard. We all know what you feel.
01:00:57That's just what you don't. None of you understand, Willy.
01:01:00Elizabeth.
01:01:01And you're worse than any of them.
01:01:02You've worked against your own father, carrying on with that rotten little bounder.
01:01:04Let me control it, sir.
01:01:05And you're just as bad.
01:01:06You're jealous of him because he's a man, and you're just a miserable fish.
01:01:09Oh, Elizabeth, dear, you're upset.
01:01:10Leave away. Don't touch me.
01:01:11Oh, Willie, my darling, my love, they can't do this, do you?
01:01:14Here, here, here, here.
01:01:16What does that mean?
01:01:17What does that mean?
01:01:18What does that mean?
01:01:19What does that mean?
01:01:20It means that I'm not wanted in this house.
01:01:38It means that I'm not wanted in this house.
01:01:50Here. There's your first instalment. There's yours.
01:02:14Do you think I'm doing this for money? Take it away, or I want a couple of quid to live on.
01:02:17Don't be an ass. Why should the son get all this for nothing?
01:02:19Here, take it away.
01:02:20Give it to anyone you like. Give it to the Royal Autonic Hospital for Myopic Pekingese.
01:02:25Give it to Mrs. Hegarty.
01:02:29You're the Procurator Fiscal. You're the public prosecutor, aren't you?
01:02:31Yes, but I do see...
01:02:32Well, let me do your duty, man. You've got the prosecutors.
01:02:34Yes, but on what charge?
01:02:35Well, find a charge.
01:02:36That's your charge.
01:02:40Mr. Burton?
01:02:41What the...?
01:02:42I have a warden for your arrest.
01:02:43I must ask you to come with me.
01:02:44What for?
01:02:45Yeah, you can't do that.
01:02:46What's the charge? Let's see the warrant.
01:02:47Come quietly now.
01:02:48Come quietly now.
01:03:02Hello, Burton. Your troubles are over.
01:03:03This is Mr. Watkins of the FFFF...
01:03:05Federation of Friends of the Feathered Four-Footed and Furry, you know.
01:03:08God!
01:03:09Mr. Burton, my society is filled with admiration for your great work on this Patsy case.
01:03:13But we feel that you've fought alone an unequal battle too long.
01:03:17I am authorized to inform you that my Federation has decided to take up the case officially and to finance your defense.
01:03:22Mr. Burton, we couldn't do otherwise.
01:03:25The enthusiasm of our members.
01:03:27We've made Patsy an honorary vice-president.
01:03:29We've also decided...
01:03:30Oh, don't jump the blazes.
01:03:31Go away.
01:03:32I'm fed up with the whole business.
01:03:35If I wanted to come publicist as a stunt of raising funds for your federation of futile fatheads, I'd let you know.
01:03:40You've made a national entertainment out of what was a perfectly honest, straightforward issue.
01:03:44And you want to use it to boost your full society.
01:03:47Well, I won't have it.
01:03:48I don't care if I win the case or lose it.
01:03:52I've lost everything over this.
01:03:53I've lost my job.
01:03:54I've lost my future.
01:03:55I've lost...
01:03:56Oh, take them away.
01:03:58Mr. Burton, you can't behave like this.
01:04:00And you can't say things like that.
01:04:02My society is going to defend you whether you like it or not.
01:04:05Come along, sir.
01:04:14It's downright incontinental, so it is.
01:04:26To see you gazing there at nothing as if you were Columbus taking his first look at America
01:04:30and the dear heart of your broken at the sight of it.
01:04:33Come on, man, dear.
01:04:34Don't be refusing the help of others when the sorrow's on you.
01:04:37And stand up for yourself to his honor, the Sheriff.
01:04:39The way you stand up for others.
01:04:41The widow and the orphan.
01:04:42The poor and the needless.
01:04:43Listen.
01:04:46I've caused enough trouble.
01:04:47I'm through.
01:04:48I don't care what they do.
01:04:49I don't want to win the case.
01:04:50I don't want to do anything more to hurt Miss Victoria.
01:04:53That's the great boy you are, Mr. Burton.
01:04:55And it's the great gift for writing you have.
01:04:57Did I tell you?
01:04:58I had the article framed.
01:04:59It's up on the wall between His Holiness and the colored enlargement of poor Hegarty that was.
01:05:13It's a cruel shame, that's what it is.
01:05:28Fear makes me boil over.
01:05:30Such a sweet little doggy, my dear.
01:05:35Yes.
01:05:36I know what I'd do with that promise of Baity.
01:05:39Doing a thing like that to a dog.
01:05:44Bad show.
01:05:45And shout poor Patsy does.
01:05:46There's twenty million school children shall know the reason why.
01:05:58I mean it's hardly playing the game.
01:06:00What?
01:06:01It's not cricket.
01:06:02No.
01:06:05Patsy case.
01:06:06It is understood that reports of the resignation of Provost William Gough were officially denied
01:06:11in Baikir today.
01:06:41the
01:07:04What?
01:07:05What?
01:07:06What?
01:07:09Ah, bring him up.
01:07:17Bring up the panel, Frank Burden.
01:07:19Bring up Frank Burden.
01:07:21I brought myself up.
01:07:23They might have given me some red fire and a chord in the orchestra.
01:07:26This is a court of law.
01:07:27There is no orchestra, whatever.
01:07:29Then there should be.
01:07:30You be quiet.
01:07:35Inasmuch as you did that order to publish a statement,
01:07:37designed or calculated to exercise an improper influence
01:07:39on the voters in the parliamentary election
01:07:41under the Corrupt and Legal Practices Act of 1895.
01:07:43When?
01:07:451895.
01:07:46But I wasn't born then.
01:07:48Have you understood the charge?
01:07:50I've tried to.
01:07:51Do you want it read again?
01:07:53No, thank you.
01:07:54Well, do you plead guilty or not guilty?
01:07:56Does it matter?
01:07:58The prisoner pleads not guilty, my lord.
01:08:00You know best.
01:08:01We may proceed.
01:08:03Why not?
01:08:05Call Robert Andrews.
01:08:07Robert Andrews.
01:08:08Robert Andrews.
01:08:09Robert Andrews.
01:08:10Robert Andrews.
01:08:16Do brisk up, Willie.
01:08:17Oh, I wish I could see Victoria.
01:08:19Oh, her.
01:08:20She won't turn up anyway.
01:08:22Willie, when you've won your case,
01:08:25Horace may call off the divorce.
01:08:27Sometimes I think you're without one moral principle.
01:08:31And nothing but the truth.
01:08:33And nothing but the truth.
01:08:35You're Robert Andrews.
01:08:36I am.
01:08:37You're a compositor working for the Bakey Advertiser.
01:08:39I am.
01:08:40That is, you set up in print the matter appearing in the paper.
01:08:42I do.
01:08:43Now, on the night in question,
01:08:44were you given by the panel a last-minute article to set up?
01:08:46I was.
01:08:47And was the panel the author of the article?
01:08:49I was.
01:08:50Silence.
01:08:52How dare you.
01:08:53I'm trying to save time,
01:08:54but I defend the case.
01:08:55I expect my client to behave himself.
01:08:56I didn't ask you to.
01:08:57I wanted to defend myself.
01:08:58Mr. Burden,
01:08:59there are 3,000 pounds put forward for your defense by the FFFF.
01:09:01We all know where that's going to.
01:09:03Really?
01:09:04Leave him to me, Mr. Minges.
01:09:05Mr. Burden, you must not interrupt the hearing.
01:09:07Go on.
01:09:08How did you know the panel was the author of the article?
01:09:10It was his English hand of writing.
01:09:12What do you mean by that?
01:09:13A letter.
01:09:14A letter.
01:09:15A letter.
01:09:16A letter.
01:09:17A letter.
01:09:18A letter.
01:09:19A letter.
01:09:20A letter.
01:09:21A letter.
01:09:22A letter.
01:09:23A letter.
01:09:24A letter.
01:09:26Silence.
01:09:29I understand you had difficulty in deciphering the article.
01:09:31It was practically a physical impossibility.
01:09:34You're quite sure you said in print what the panel wrote?
01:09:36Of course he did.
01:09:39Keep quiet.
01:09:40I corrected the proof myself.
01:09:41For heaven's sake hold your tongue.
01:09:42Well don't suggest I didn't write what I did write.
01:09:44Shhh.
01:09:45You really must speak to your client, Mr. Minges.
01:09:47My lord, you told me to leave him to you.
01:09:49Do you?
01:09:50Don't be impertinent.
01:09:53Silence!
01:09:55The next person to laugh will be turned out of this court.
01:10:04Vicki!
01:10:05Why, I thought you weren't coming.
01:10:08Why else could I do?
01:10:09I've missed you, Vicki.
01:10:11It was decent of you to have kept away from him.
01:10:14You were mistaken in him, Vicki.
01:10:16He's just a self-seeking little rotter.
01:10:18He's nothing of the kind.
01:10:20He didn't do anything you didn't goad him to.
01:10:22And you're bringing this case simply to satisfy your own pride.
01:10:24I see.
01:10:25So you're still taken in with the fellow.
01:10:27Well, it'll interest you to know that I've got him this time.
01:10:30What?
01:10:32You are Margaret Twine?
01:10:34Sure.
01:10:35Just answer yes or no.
01:10:37Okay.
01:10:38You're employed as a parlor maid by Provost Gall.
01:10:41Says you.
01:10:43What is the meaning of this expression, says you?
01:10:47Well, my lord, it's a slang phrase of American origin
01:10:52which has gained regrettable currency in the language of our people
01:10:55through the insidious agency of the cinema.
01:10:58And it is, I'm given to understand, employed to indicate a state of dubiety
01:11:02in the mind of the speaker as to the veracity or credibility
01:11:06of a statement making.
01:11:08Oh yeah?
01:11:09Oh.
01:11:10Oh yeah?
01:11:15OK.
01:11:46Gloria, Gloria.
01:11:48Ah, here I am, me, sir. Don't be raising the roof.
01:11:50The court's waiting. Where on earth have you been?
01:11:52Sure, I had to take my patsy out of the nursing home.
01:11:54The publicity got on the nerves of him, and he's had to have a rest cure.
01:11:57You're lucky not to get six months for contempt to court.
01:12:00Well, I don't know about the six months, but I've got the contempt all right.
01:12:08And I will tell the truth. Tell the truth.
01:12:10The whole truth. The whole truth. And nothing but the truth.
01:12:12Nothing but the truth. Thank you. Thank you.
01:12:15Your name, I believe, is Honoria Gagan, or Hegarty.
01:12:19I'll make up your mind, ma'am, which it is. Hegarty it is.
01:12:22Yes. Now, on the evening, under discussion, you paid a visit to Mr. Gow's house.
01:12:26Clyde View McCullum Road. I did an all.
01:12:29You've caused to remember that evening.
01:12:31Causes it. And the foot of me back hit in every step.
01:12:34And I was a great large bruise, the color of a rainbow in the sky.
01:12:37It's not faded away yet. Look, if you could only see it.
01:12:40Yes, well, never mind about that.
01:12:42Oh, it's easy for you to talk.
01:12:45Couldn't I get in, please?
01:12:46Was you involved in the case?
01:12:47Yes, but I...
01:12:48Nay, nay, I'll hate to wait till I bore you out.
01:12:51And now, we come to the evening of the, er, the canine demonstration at Mr. Gow's house.
01:12:57Now, to me, on that day, did the accused express animals against the provost?
01:13:02Sure, all the animals and the length and breadth of the land is against the provost.
01:13:05Yes, thank you. That'll do.
01:13:06Mr. Minges, do you wish to question the witness?
01:13:11Certainly not, my lord. Indeed, I've been waiting with all the patience I can muster
01:13:14to hear why the Crown has called this rather irrelevant lady.
01:13:18Oh, Patsy! Did you hear what he called me?
01:13:21Yes, you must stand down.
01:13:23God bless your honour and her ladyship.
01:13:26If so be there such a lucky woman as to be wed to your holiness.
01:13:31Michael Cassidy.
01:13:33From his rub to his shoulders, he's attached to the sheepdog.
01:13:36But he's got the muzzle of a setter and the ears of a Cocker Spanier.
01:13:40And he's a wise look on him like an early terrier.
01:13:43And he's a soldier-like tail like a Pomeranian.
01:13:46And he's got the sad, noble eyes of a poodle.
01:13:49In fact, he's not so much dog.
01:13:52That's an epitome of all the dogs that ever run round this world on four legs.
01:13:57Yes, but what's he worth?
01:13:59Six napins.
01:14:00My lord, what has this to do with the case?
01:14:03I'm establishing motive by a process of elimination.
01:14:05Must you eliminate the entire population of the British Islands
01:14:08and the Irish Free State?
01:14:10My lord, I object to this witness.
01:14:12I don't.
01:14:15What did you say?
01:14:16I said I had no objection.
01:14:17Are you going to keep quiet?
01:14:19Fairly, not altogether.
01:14:20I'll abandon the case.
01:14:21Good.
01:14:22Really?
01:14:23My lord!
01:14:24Now, now, Mr. Burden, you mustn't speak like that, you know.
01:14:27I realize you're a very young man.
01:14:29And indeed, I sometimes fail to fathom the younger generation.
01:14:33They seem to have no balance, no stability.
01:14:35What with swing music, automatic gambling machines,
01:14:38and the encouragement given to idleness and loose living by the British Broadcasting Corporation.
01:14:44What are you laughing at, Mr. Mingys?
01:14:46Was I laughing, my lord?
01:14:48You made a sort of gesture with your features that I've always taken as an expression of amusement.
01:14:52I am unaware of anything amusing in what I am saying.
01:14:55I hardly fancied you were, my lord.
01:14:57Then perhaps you'll refrain from cackinnating until you find yourself in a more suitable place for that exercise.
01:15:02With all respect, your lordship misapprehended the exact nature of the gesture
01:15:05as to which your lordship was pleased to refer.
01:15:07As a matter of fact, I...
01:15:09I was stifling a very insistent yore.
01:15:11Indeed, Mr. Mingys?
01:15:12Perhaps your lordship will now revise your pronouncement as to the suitable place for that exercise.
01:15:17If you wish me, Mr. Mingys, to recount the uses for which this place is suitable,
01:15:21I am quite prepared to do so.
01:15:23For one thing, it is suitable for the exercise of your undoubted talents as defending counsel.
01:15:28Talents which I may remark I have not observed to be conspicuously employed on this particular case.
01:15:35May God, your lordship's opinion of my poor capabilities,
01:15:38expressed, if I may say, in all sincerity with a terseness and clarity that I have a credit to the Scottish Bar,
01:15:42has left me with no alternative but to withdraw from the case.
01:15:45I have been grossly insulted.
01:15:47Good morning.
01:15:48Let me, Mr. Mingys.
01:15:49Silence!
01:15:51And now, my lord, may I defend myself?
01:15:54Silence!
01:15:55Well, I can't stop you.
01:15:56You may leave the doctor to consult your solicitor.
01:15:58The good name of the...
01:16:02Don't spit at me, sir.
01:16:04Let me sit here.
01:16:11What's happened, Willie?
01:16:12Burden's defending himself.
01:16:13What?
01:16:14They've adjourned while the little fool consults his solicitor.
01:16:16I'm delighted to hear it.
01:16:18Hello.
01:16:19Hello.
01:16:20Oh, Vicky.
01:16:21Nice of you to pop in.
01:16:22I thought you didn't want to see me again.
01:16:23This is the public court, isn't it?
01:16:24I see you've come to see me hanged.
01:16:25Well, it looks like it.
01:16:26You seem determined to throw away your case.
01:16:27Well, it's my case, isn't it?
01:16:28Don't be a fool, Frank.
01:16:29Did I hear you call me Frank?
01:16:30I hear you call me Frank.
01:16:31You can't talk to a witness for the prosecution.
01:16:33Are you a witness?
01:16:34Well, yes, I am, but...
01:16:35Oh, I see, sir.
01:16:36Your father's dragged you into it now.
01:16:37Oh, don't say things like that.
01:16:38I can't help it, and I was called by the crown, and I...
01:16:39Oh, I understand.
01:16:40You're entitled to say and do exactly what you like.
01:16:41Oh, Mr. Burden, I've been looking for you everywhere.
01:16:42Now, do you know what to do?
01:16:43I know what to do, all right?
01:16:44Father, what to do?
01:16:45Father...
01:16:46Oh, what to do?
01:16:47Father.
01:16:48Did I hear you call me Frank?
01:16:49I hear you call me Frank.
01:16:50I hear you can't talk to a witness for the prosecution.
01:16:52Are you a witness?
01:16:53Well, yes, I am, but...
01:16:54Oh, I see, sir.
01:16:55Your father's dragged you into it now.
01:16:56Oh, don't say things like that.
01:16:57I can't help it, and I was called by the crown, and I...
01:16:58I understand.
01:16:59You're entitled to say and do exactly what you like.
01:17:00Oh, Mr. Burden, I've been looking for you everywhere.
01:17:01Now, do you know what to do?
01:17:02I know what to do, all right.
01:17:10Father, I beg of you, don't go on with this case.
01:17:12What?
01:17:13Well, of course I shall go on with it.
01:17:14At least I won't.
01:17:15It isn't my case, but the crown will.
01:17:17The court says session.
01:17:19The law has been set in motion, and the law must operate.
01:17:21I intend to be vindicated.
01:17:24Oh, but, Father, you must listen to me.
01:17:26Don't take any notice of her, will he?
01:17:28William Gow.
01:17:29William Gow.
01:17:30William Gow.
01:17:38No, no.
01:17:41Oh, Mr. Skirving, can you help me?
01:17:42I must get into the court, and they won't let me in,
01:17:44because I'm a witness.
01:17:45Oh, I see.
01:17:46Well, I'll just keep him busy, and you slink in.
01:17:49Oh, thank you.
01:17:50Oh, and Victoria, listen.
01:17:51Don't think too hardly of Lisbeth.
01:17:53I won't.
01:17:55Donald.
01:17:56Sir, who are you keeping?
01:17:58Oh, bonnie, man, bonnie.
01:17:59That's fine.
01:18:00Tell me, how's that wee daughter of yours getting on with the ballet dancing?
01:18:03Oh, man, she's grand.
01:18:05She's just a picture.
01:18:06In short, you've the strongest reason to believe that you've been the victim of deliberate and persistent persecution.
01:18:13Absolutely.
01:18:15Mr. Burden, do you wish to cross-examine?
01:18:17I'll say I do.
01:18:18Silence!
01:18:19Now, Mr. Gao, when did this so-called persecution start?
01:18:32The night you organized a pack of hooligans to break up my meeting.
01:18:34Oh, no, no.
01:18:35Before that.
01:18:36What about my article?
01:18:37Wasn't that part of the persecution?
01:18:38Certainly it was.
01:18:39Then I'll ask you again.
01:18:40When did the persecution start?
01:18:43I suppose you want me to say when Mrs. Hegarty came to my house.
01:18:46Exactly.
01:18:47She came to you very distressed.
01:18:48No doubt.
01:18:49But she didn't take her grievance to the proper quarter.
01:18:51Didn't she?
01:18:52Weren't you the provost, the father of his people?
01:18:54Yes, yes.
01:18:55But if I happen to be distressed by a brass pipe, shall we say, I don't take my distress
01:19:00to the prime minister.
01:19:01I get a plumber in a manner of speaking, my lord.
01:19:04Well, in a manner of speaking, sir, Mrs. Hegarty probably thought you were the plumber.
01:19:08Mr. Burden.
01:19:10Silence!
01:19:13So you were surprised the day after Mrs. Hegarty's visit when your meeting refused to listen to you?
01:19:17Nothing surprises me, Mbeki.
01:19:19Oh, then it didn't surprise you they should take a strong line with a canting humbug who...
01:19:23My lord, I object.
01:19:24Mr. Burden, I ought perhaps to warn you that this sort of thing is impressing me very unfavorably.
01:19:28Very unfavorably indeed.
01:19:30Go on.
01:19:31So you vented your annoyance on a poor woman and her dog.
01:19:34You took her barrow.
01:19:35I did nothing of the sort.
01:19:36As for being a poor woman...
01:19:38You took her barrow.
01:19:39She seems to have done very well out of it.
01:19:40Very insolent of her, Mr. Gow.
01:19:48Look here, why do you suppose the whole town turned against you all of a sudden?
01:19:51Because you deliberately set yourself to make trouble.
01:19:53What do you suppose our motive was for that?
01:19:54How should I know?
01:19:55Self advertisement, I should think.
01:19:57I did it because I'm an ordinary sort of man.
01:20:00And when I see a bully and a coward...
01:20:02Behave yourself, Mr. Burden.
01:20:03You're throwing away your case.
01:20:04I'm trying to get at the truth.
01:20:05Why can't he be a man?
01:20:07Why does he go sneaking around persecuting widows and little mongrel dogs?
01:20:10Lord, I...
01:20:11You don't take control yourself.
01:20:13I'll stand up to anyone who hits above the belt.
01:20:15Who hit you below the belt?
01:20:16You did.
01:20:17In what way?
01:20:18You won your way into my family circle.
01:20:20Stop that.
01:20:21I won't have your family circle mentioned in this court.
01:20:24You won't have it.
01:20:25If you'd shown a little decent feeling earlier on...
01:20:27Stop, stop.
01:20:28What's all this about Mr. Gow's family circle?
01:20:31Ask him.
01:20:32Milord, the reference must be to Mr. Gow's daughter.
01:20:35She's a witness of the prosecution.
01:20:36Yes, milord.
01:20:37That's the sort of man he is.
01:20:38Mr. Burden.
01:20:39But it's scandalous.
01:20:40Quiet, sir.
01:20:41I won't be quiet.
01:20:42I'm calling her next, milord.
01:20:44No, you're not.
01:20:45Silence!
01:20:49Silence!
01:20:51Come out here, you.
01:21:06Now, who are you and what did you say?
01:21:10I'm Mr. Gow's daughter and I said I wasn't being called as a witness.
01:21:13Why not pray?
01:21:14Because I can't give evidence.
01:21:16Oh, yes, you can.
01:21:17We'll see about that.
01:21:18Oh, but I can't.
01:21:19Oh, why not?
01:21:20Because the accused and I are husband and wife.
01:21:32But is this true?
01:21:34Yes.
01:21:37Milord, I must ask for an adjournment.
01:21:40But I can't keep on adjourning.
01:21:42Milord, this is a profound shock.
01:21:44Oh, very well.
01:21:45Whist, whist, whist.
01:21:46They're married.
01:21:47I know.
01:21:48Aye, and a wife can't give evidence against her husband.
01:21:51That's the law.
01:21:52Send Mr. Burden here at once.
01:21:53You can't do that, sir.
01:21:54It's most irregular.
01:21:55Do as I tell you.
01:21:56Oh, Vicki.
01:21:57I'll tell you what, will you?
01:21:58Oh, don't start yammering at me.
01:21:59You've done a nice thing.
01:22:00Well, I asked you not to go on with the case.
01:22:01Why didn't you tell me?
01:22:02I can't have a son-in-law serving six months.
01:22:03You sent for me?
01:22:04Oh, no.
01:22:05Oh, no.
01:22:06Oh, no.
01:22:07Oh, no.
01:22:08Oh, no.
01:22:09Oh, no.
01:22:10Oh, no.
01:22:11Oh, no.
01:22:12Oh, no.
01:22:13Oh, no.
01:22:14Oh, no.
01:22:15Oh, no.
01:22:16Oh, no.
01:22:17I'll tell you what happened.
01:22:18You're just getting me hammering at me.
01:22:19You've done a nice thing.
01:22:20Well, I asked you not to go on with the case.
01:22:21Why didn't you tell me?
01:22:22I can't have a son-in-law serving six months.
01:22:23You sent for me?
01:22:29What do you mean by marrying my daughter?
01:22:33I haven't.
01:22:34What?
01:22:35I only just said that.
01:22:37We haven't seen each other since I left the house.
01:22:40Then why in heaven's name?
01:22:42To stop you.
01:22:43to save you both from your stupid pride.
01:22:46But do you realize what she's done?
01:22:49They can have her for contempt.
01:22:50For my...
01:22:52It's worse.
01:22:53It's perjury.
01:22:54Yes.
01:22:57Oh.
01:23:05Stop the case.
01:23:07What?
01:23:07I can't stop the case.
01:23:08I won't stop the case.
01:23:10Willie.
01:23:10You have insufficient evidence.
01:23:11Oh, well, well, I'll put you back in the box.
01:23:13Willie.
01:23:13No, you won't.
01:23:14Oh, you can't make a fool of the crowd.
01:23:15You can't force me in.
01:23:16Then you can't bully me.
01:23:17You go back in that box.
01:23:18Go along, Gow.
01:23:19Very well.
01:23:20Willie.
01:23:20Oh, go to Blaise's woman.
01:23:23Horace.
01:23:24He called me a woman.
01:23:25All right, my dear.
01:23:33Now, Mr. Gow,
01:23:35the news you've just heard
01:23:36is, of course,
01:23:37a great shot to you.
01:23:38No.
01:23:39No.
01:23:41Silence.
01:23:43But do you mean to tell the court
01:23:44that you condone this maneuver
01:23:46on the part of the panel?
01:23:47Yes.
01:23:52Silence.
01:23:52But Mr. Gow,
01:23:54it was with your consent
01:23:55that this scoundrel...
01:23:56My lord,
01:23:57may I make a statement?
01:23:58My lord, I protest.
01:24:00Go on, Mr. Gow.
01:24:05I want to say
01:24:06that in my considered opinion,
01:24:08Mr. Burden was fully justified
01:24:09in all the actions
01:24:10he took against me.
01:24:11I think Mr. Burden
01:24:15misjudged me,
01:24:16but he misjudged me
01:24:17without malice.
01:24:18Hurrah for the choice!
01:24:20Hurrah!
01:24:31Clear the court!
01:24:32Clear the court!
01:24:34Clear the town!
01:24:36Clear the town!
01:24:37I hadn't fully realized
01:24:41that a public man
01:24:42is apt to get above himself.
01:24:44I'm grateful to Mr. Burden
01:24:45for bringing me back to earth.
01:24:47In regard to Mrs. Hegarty
01:24:49and her dog, Patsy,
01:24:51I forgot to apply
01:24:53one of the great principles
01:24:54of my life.
01:24:55It is this.
01:24:57It is only the realization,
01:25:01the sympathetic realization,
01:25:04the deeply sympathetic realization,
01:25:07that each unit in the state
01:25:09is a living, breathing soul,
01:25:13each with his own aspirations,
01:25:16each with his own
01:25:17peculiarly intense perception
01:25:20of his own rights
01:25:22and his own wrongs.
01:25:25A leader must have
01:25:27that strange sixth sense
01:25:30that enables him
01:25:32to see into the hearts
01:25:33of his people
01:25:34to feel in his own flesh
01:25:38and in his own blood
01:25:40the wounds and distresses
01:25:42they suffer
01:25:43to a leader
01:25:46even the least of his enemies.
01:25:49The end title zinc
01:26:07is in the Word of Jesus.
01:26:08The End
01:26:10is in the Word of Jesus
