Storm in a Teacup is a 1937 British romantic comedy film directed by Ian Dalrymple and Victor Saville and starring Vivien Leigh, Rex Harrison, Cecil Parker, and Sara Allgood.
Journalist Frank Burdon (Rex Harrison) works for a tiny Scottish paper. He is sent to write a light piece about government official Willie Gow (Cecil Parker), but decides to pen a more critical story when he sees Gow deny a local woman ownership of her dog because she can't pay for the animal's license. The article damages Willie's reputation and sparking a rivalry between the two men. Matters are further complicated when Frank falls for Willie's daughter, Vickie (Vivien Leigh).

00:05:16Yes, the law's obstructing me.
00:05:17It'll all go against him.
00:05:18What's he done?
00:05:19And him as innocent as a newborn angel.
00:05:20He should have paid the license.
00:05:22License, is it?
00:05:23If a grand big contractor like this
00:05:25is needing seven and sixes from the like of me,
00:05:27it's time it went on the dole the same as the rest of us.
00:05:30Ah, man, dear.
00:05:31It's not the license money.
00:05:32It's the fine.
00:05:33Five pounds.
00:05:34Aye, for persistent infringement.
00:05:36Where would the like of me get five pounds?
00:05:38Standing next to naked in the dead of summer
00:05:40with the wind whistling down from off the pole
00:05:41and me trying to sell ice cream for a bunch of frozen corpses.
00:05:45Ah!

00:05:56Patsy!
00:05:56Aye, come on.
00:05:57You should have been serious.
00:05:59You're a woman like I was.
00:06:00We don't have a problem.
00:06:01We don't have a problem.
00:06:02You're a winner, riffraff.
00:06:03And we will get a piece and glory all to this.
00:06:05Give a great lion, David Sergeant.
00:06:08Go it to territorial.
00:06:11Why would you not bring your guns?
00:06:13Aye!
00:06:14It's David, that's what it is.
00:06:16It's massacry.
00:06:17I'll have the law on you, so I will.
00:06:20Patsy, me lovely Patsy.
00:06:39Well, who are you?
00:06:41Oh, I'm Maggie. Where's Jessie?
00:06:43Oh, she left. You'll be Miss Victoria?
00:06:45Yes.
00:06:48I'm sorry. I can't help it.
00:06:49Oh, it's okay by me. That's a relief.
00:06:52Where's the provost?
00:06:53Oh, your dad's busy.
00:06:55And what's all this? A football match?
00:06:57It's politics. He's in there with Bailey Callender.
00:07:00I see.
00:07:02Well, go and unpack my things, will you?
00:07:04Okay.
00:07:05And don't say okay.
00:07:06Righto.
00:07:08Oh, and tell me, why did Jessie leave?
00:07:11Oh, she didn't approve.
00:07:16Citizens of Bickey, in full confidence of your loyalty.
00:07:19I, your provost, invite your presence at my inaugural meeting
00:07:21at the Town Hall Bickey on Friday next.
00:07:24Signed, William Gall.
00:07:27Good daddy, Callender.
00:07:28Aye, a bit personal.
00:07:30Oh, that's it, don't you see? Psychology.
00:07:32Oh, psychology.
00:07:34Loyalty.
00:07:35Ah, it's a fine word. They can't resist it.
00:07:39Hello, Vicky.
00:07:41My dear.
00:07:42Father.
00:07:43Oh, it's glad to see you again.
00:07:46How are you, Bailey?
00:07:47Mum, but you've turned into a great mother.
00:07:50Changed days since you fell into my pigsties.
00:07:52Yes, yes, don't bother about pigsties now.
00:07:54We've got to get to that council meeting.
00:07:55Talking of meetings, you might have met me at the pier.
00:07:58Oh, I'm sorry about that, Vicky, but it was absolutely impossible.
00:08:01Your father's a busy mum. There's great events for tending.
00:08:05I'm standing for Parliament, Vicky.
00:08:07I know that. I've seen a few posters.
00:08:10But you don't know why I'm standing.
00:08:12You see, Vicky, these are exceptional times,
00:08:14and such times require exceptional measures.
00:08:19And exceptional men.
00:08:21Hear, hear.
00:08:22Being provost of Bake is all very well in its way,
00:08:24but did you do this, Callender?
00:08:28Yes.
00:08:29I've done my best for the place, tried to keep it up to date.
00:08:32I've built them a new town hall, a new swimming pool,
00:08:35the most elaborate public conveniences,
00:08:37a cursile for the tourists.
00:08:39I hope you haven't spoiled Bakey, father.
00:08:41They said in the advertiser that I'm the best administrator in the country.
00:08:44I'm sure you're a great success.
00:08:46I should be. I work hard enough.
00:08:49Tomorrow I'm opening the Croy cattle show,
00:08:51and I have my big election meeting at night.
00:08:53And the day after,
00:08:54and this is strictly confidential, Vicky,
00:08:57Lord Scarifor is coming.
00:08:58Who's Lord Scarifor?
00:09:00Why, the leader of the party, of course.
00:09:02Oh, you'll note that he comes to see the provost.
00:09:04The provost doesn't go to see him.
00:09:06Well, he knows I have the Caledonia League behind me.
00:09:09And it's not Bakey or Scotland,
00:09:12but Scotsmen all over the empire.
00:09:14Aye, it's a big thing, a grand big thing.
00:09:17There's no saying how big it may be.
00:09:19If I pull this off, the time may come
00:09:21when I shall be listened to by the whole world.
00:09:31The profession of journalism is an honorable one.
00:09:34What?
00:09:35The profession of journalism is honorable.
00:09:38Oh, oh, yes, ma'am.
00:09:39I have nothing to be ashamed of in the conduct of my paper.
00:09:42What?
00:09:44I have nothing to be ashamed of.
00:09:46Oh, good.
00:09:48Nothing sensational ever enters my columns.
00:09:51Why not?
00:09:53I said...
00:09:57Sit down.
00:09:58Yes.
00:09:59Oh, no, not there.
00:10:00Over there.
00:10:03Mr. Burne,
00:10:04you've joined the most widely red people on the west coast.
00:10:08I suppose people have nothing else to do.
00:10:10Will you have a cigarette, sir?
00:10:11No smoking in hours.
00:10:13Oh.
00:10:15Mr. Burne.
00:10:17A reporter on the advertises a position of very great trust.
00:10:21Now, I'm away to Manchester tonight, but unfortunately my sub-editor's in bed.
00:10:25Oh, I'm sorry. What's the trouble?
00:10:26He's got lumbago.
00:10:28Oh.
00:10:28But the point is, I promised our provost to page in tomorrow's issue,
00:10:32and you will have to take the interview and see it through the press.
00:10:36Now, can you do that, Burne?
00:10:38No smoking.
00:10:39Why, Mrs. Corse.
00:10:42Yes, what's the article about?
00:10:44Well, provost Gow standing for the new party.
00:10:47What's new about it?
00:10:48For one thing, Scotland for the Scottish.
00:10:51Oh, does somebody else want it?
00:10:53That'll do, Burne.
00:10:56Mrs. Scurvy.
00:10:59Horace, we'll miss that train.
00:11:01Well, I'm waiting for you.
00:11:03Oh, Mr. Burne, my wife.
00:11:05How do you do?
00:11:06How do you do?
00:11:08Oh, well, you can't expect the Colonel's lady to know the sanitary man's mate.
00:11:12I beg your pardon?
00:11:15Oh, well, I'll way over to the town hall.
00:11:17I'll just about get the provost.
00:11:18Yes, I think.
00:11:18The town hall's that cast direction opposite, isn't it?
00:11:21I'll have you know the provost built that.
00:11:23Oh.
00:11:24Oh, well, then I'll take another look at it.
00:11:28What a little brat.
00:11:30Oh, he's English, I think.
00:11:33Well, that's the way we are, Mr. Train.
00:11:35I'll look in on Willie and say goodbye.
00:11:37Oh, what for?
00:11:40Oh, Willie's lovely town hall.
00:11:54Is that all?
00:11:55Yes, provost.
00:11:56Oh, that'll do then.
00:11:58You'll be coming into the meeting soon.
00:12:01Bailey Callender's having a sore time in the chair.
00:12:03I'll go round in a minute. Now clear out.
00:12:05Hey.
00:12:07Oh, Victoria, you'd better go up into the gallery to see the fan.
00:12:12Father, can I ask you something?
00:12:15Well, I'm rather busy.
00:12:17Why did you sack Jessie?
00:12:18Jessie, what?
00:12:19Oh, the parlor maid.
00:12:21She got a bit above herself, Vicki, and Lisbeth very kindly disposed of her for me.
00:12:25Lisbeth?
00:12:26Now, who's mentioning my name?
00:12:29Why, Victoria, I wouldn't have recognized you.
00:12:32How nice of you to look in and welcome me back.
00:12:35Yes.
00:12:36You've quite grown up, dear.
00:12:39Oh, Willie, I just looked in to say goodbye.
00:12:41That was good of you, Lisbeth.
00:12:42I'll be back in time for the meeting.
00:12:44Oh, don't you worry.
00:12:45I couldn't do without you on the platform.
00:12:48No, I don't think you could.
00:12:51Well, I must dash now or Horace will have the jitters.
00:12:55How is Horace?
00:12:56Oh, just his old self.
00:13:04Now, now, gentlemen, please, you're wasting time.
00:13:07The provis has decided.
00:13:09Next business.
00:13:10Item number seven.
00:13:12The bathing drawers for the instructors at the new swimming pool.
00:13:15As chairman of the Cleansing and Parks Committee, I have looked into these drawers very carefully.
00:13:21And they certainly present some problems.
00:13:24Now, this is the sort of garment I would suggest.
00:13:28But, Mr. Deputy Chairman, the instructors complain that they're no practical.
00:13:32They cannot swim in them.
00:13:33So bear up against the old problem.
00:13:35Whether we select the unscutted and elongated or the scutted and abbreviated.
00:13:42In other words, either we decide upon an adequate drapery with limited mobility
00:13:48or desirable mobility with an inadequate drapery.
00:13:53Neither, in my opinion, are really satisfactory.
00:13:56We have to satisfy the...
00:13:57I move that the bathing drawers lay on the table.
00:13:59Sit down.
00:14:00Next business.
00:14:01Item number eight.
00:14:03Supply of new hose for the fire brigade.
00:14:06Hello.
00:14:07Hello.
00:14:08What are you doing here?
00:14:09Oh, just getting up to date.
00:14:10She won't get that way here.
00:14:12This is a very serious matter.
00:14:14Mr. Sein, that's got nothing to do with the question.
00:14:16I move that the whole matter be postponed for further investigation.
00:14:19But, Mr. Provost...
00:14:21Will you kindly resume your seat?
00:14:22Next business.
00:14:23Overbearing sort of bloke, isn't he?
00:14:25Who?
00:14:25The headmaster.
00:14:26Mr. Provost, with regard to my objection to that...
00:14:30Don't bring that up again, please.
00:14:31You made a mistake.
00:14:32I don't think so.
00:14:33The trouble is, you don't think at all.
00:14:36Next business.
00:14:37She's not very careful.
00:14:38She'll put in a corner and give him a thousand lines.
00:14:40Date him.
00:14:41Yeah.
00:14:45I have an application from Ross, the stoker of the municipal laundry...
00:14:49...asking for a rise at half a time a week.
00:14:51On what grounds?
00:14:52The same old grounds.
00:14:53His good ladies presented him with twins.
00:14:55In my view, if we grant this application...
00:14:57...we're only asking for a fourth pair of twins.
00:14:59Serving right if he had four pairs of twins.
00:15:01On second thoughts, thank the Lord he hasn't.
00:15:06Gentlemen.
00:15:07We've something more important to discuss...
00:15:09...than Mr. Ross's weekly milk bill.
00:15:11We'll hand the matter to the Ways and Means Committee.
00:15:14We will now discuss my scheme...
00:15:16...for publicizing Becky throughout the country...
00:15:17...as a tourist resort.
00:15:19You've had copies of the detailed memorandum I've drawn up...
00:15:23...and I'll assume that you've all taken the trouble to read it.
00:15:29That fella gives me a pain in the neck.
00:15:33Oh, dear.
00:15:34Honoria!
00:15:36McKellar, where in heaven's name have you been?
00:15:38You can't come here.
00:15:39No, nor I can't do anything else.
00:15:41I can't sit here with me two hands folded in front of me...
00:15:43...like patients on a document.
00:15:44But they're about to adjourn.
00:15:46The provost will be coming.
00:15:47It's himself I'm after.
00:15:49Oh, he won't see you, Honoria.
00:15:51He won't avoid it.
00:15:53Well?
00:15:54There was one important item that was new on the agenda.
00:15:56We are wanting your authorization for the purchase of new nasturtium plants for the orphanage.
00:16:01What happened to the old ones?
00:16:02Why, the orphans ate the seeds.
00:16:04Oh, they did, did they?
00:16:05Aye.
00:16:05I'll look into that, Mr. Thompson.
00:16:06Thank you, Mr. Provost.
00:16:07One moment, Mr. Provost, Your Honor.
00:16:08You know all about me.
00:16:10It seems I know all about you.
00:16:11It is myself, Honoria Hegarty.
00:16:12Yes, but...
00:16:12Not a word now.
00:16:13I know what you're going to say.
00:16:14Don't say it.
00:16:15It's all very fine and large, and it's the law, don't I know?
00:16:17And I know you can't make exceptions.
00:16:19They tell me all that at the office.
00:16:20And I know it's all in the book of words.
00:16:22But it's what I'm telling you, it is all nonsense.
00:16:23Will you kindly stop talking and get out of my way?
00:16:25Listen, Honoria.
00:16:26And what part should I be listening?
00:16:27Sir.
00:16:28Joe, what do you want?
00:16:29Nothing, I was told I had to interview you.
00:16:31Oh, you're from the Advertiser.
00:16:32Do you mind coming home with me?
00:16:33Not at all.
00:16:34I'll wait to give you a tenant to this lady.
00:16:36Your Honor, it's not meself I'm thinking of.
00:16:38It's Patsy.
00:16:38My little Patsy.
00:16:39He's the heart and soul out of me body.
00:16:41And I'm telling you no lie.
00:16:42If he goes, I go too.
00:16:44Up to heaven among the blessed saints.
00:16:46And it'll be all your fault.
00:16:47If you annoy me any further, I'll have you locked up.
00:16:49Come along, Mr. Burden.
00:16:51Are you coming?
00:16:57Joe.
00:17:04Get in.
00:17:11Go on, men.
00:17:17Move up.
00:17:18Oh, this is my daughter, Victoria.
00:17:20Move up.
00:17:21How do you do?
00:17:22How do you do?
00:17:27If you knew my Patsy, you wouldn't have a grinder like that from east to west
00:17:30all over your face.
00:17:31Oh, I know him all right.
00:17:32What's that?
00:17:33You know him?
00:17:34Well, in a manner of speaking his lodging here with me.
00:17:37You're codding me.
00:17:38Look in the chest, I know you.
00:17:40Patsy, me darling boy.
00:17:42The light of his mother's eyes.
00:17:44Oh, me beautiful Patsy.
00:17:46Me lovely Patsy.
00:17:47And what in the name of the holy apostrophe is he doing here in your unclean apartment in
00:17:51a wooden box?
00:17:52I kind of have him at the police station.
00:17:54You see, it's this way.
00:17:55The police sergeant's bull terrier bitch shit.
00:17:59Well, what is it, man?
00:18:00Speak out.
00:18:03Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:18:06And seeing I'm the borough officer, I've given him a custody.
00:18:09Isn't he the fine little fella?
00:18:11Oh, he's that hilarious.
00:18:13He eats like a weak corner.
00:18:14He loves his bread and milk for breakfast.
00:18:16Oh, I made him a nice bowl of rice.
00:18:18He's treating you all right, darling.
00:18:20Well, I feel kind of funny with the wee brute.
00:18:25He makes a sort of condemned cell atmosphere about my lodgings.
00:18:30What's that?
00:18:32They're not going to.
00:18:34You don't mean...
00:18:35Aye.
00:18:37They can't. They can't.
00:18:50Come on, come on.
00:18:51Yes.
00:18:54Sit down.
00:18:55Oh, thank you.
00:18:56No, no, not there, not there, not there.
00:18:58No, no.
00:18:59I hear you're turning politician, Mr. Gower.
00:19:02Politician?
00:19:02Ah, statesman.
00:19:04Father wants to be Prime Minister of the first Scotch Parliament.
00:19:07Scottish, Vicky.
00:19:08Scottish.
00:19:09Help yourself to a Scottish and soda.
00:19:12I'll leave you to it.
00:19:17Hey, what's your name?
00:19:18Will that be?
00:19:18What?
00:19:19Oh, just a second, Mr. Gower.
00:19:21Oh.
00:19:22There's no call to be jumping about like a French poodle in this house.
00:19:24Sit down.
00:19:30Stagnation of public life.
00:19:31What was that?
00:19:33I'm dictating.
00:19:34Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:19:36Don't I take notes and then write it up for you?
00:19:38Write it up?
00:19:39Yeah, you put it into English.
00:19:41You'll kindly put down exactly what I say.
00:19:44I'm away to the cattle show early in the morning
00:19:45and I want a proof of the interview tonight.
00:19:47Yes, very good.
00:19:49Stagnation of public life.
00:19:51Wanted new men.
00:19:53Provost Gower's plain words to the electors.
00:19:57During my term of office as Provost of Bakey,
00:20:00I have been instrumental in bringing about great changes in the borough.
00:20:04But there is one change that I shall never make.
00:20:08A change in the principles which guide me.
00:20:11No, no, of course not.
00:20:14Away you go.
00:20:15He couldn't come in here.
00:20:16The master's busy.
00:20:17I know that.
00:20:18He's busy writing wrongs.
00:20:19Well, here's another for him.
00:20:20I advise you to scram.
00:20:21All right, Maggie.
00:20:22God bless you, ma'am.
00:20:23May the devil look past you and look straight into your eyes.
00:20:27Oh, ma'am, dear.
00:20:28It's his honor I'm seeking.
00:20:30But I'm afraid he's giving an interview.
00:20:31Oh, the poor soul.
00:20:32And I am deeply concerned with the well-being of every individual in the community.
00:20:40But, ma'am, I can't wait.
00:20:42It's a matter of life and death.
00:20:43It's about my little Patsy.
00:20:44Why, what's the little boy done?
00:20:45Oh, your honor.
00:20:46It's about my Patsy.
00:20:47How dare you burst in here.
00:20:49Father.
00:20:49Burst or not, I've got to do what I've got to do.
00:20:51Well, do it somewhere else.
00:20:52I think some little boy of hers has gotten to a scrape.
00:20:53I warned you at the town hall.
00:20:55But you said it's very urgent.
00:20:56And now you have the insolence to come cantering into my private house.
00:20:59I think if you got the little chap here and talked to him.
00:21:01If you talked to him, ma'am, he'd bark at you.
00:21:03Bark at us?
00:21:04Victoria, are you mad?
00:21:05Show her out of here at once.
00:21:06And understand, Mrs. Hickety,
00:21:07the case of your dog is finished once and for all.
00:21:10Dog?
00:21:10But you told me it was about your little son.
00:21:12No, I ask it.
00:21:13Did I ever tell you anything of the kind?
00:21:15Not but what he's like a son to me.
00:21:17And now?
00:21:18Now they're going to kill him.
00:21:20What rubbish.
00:21:21Who's going to kill a little dog?
00:21:23The corporation and the polis and the provost.
00:21:27Father.
00:21:29Father.
00:21:30Is this true about Mrs. Hickety's little dog?
00:21:32She's persistently defied the law in the matter of the dog tax.
00:21:35But, Father.
00:21:36She's been warned time and time again.
00:21:37But if it's only seven and sixpence?
00:21:38She's been fined and she won't pay that.
00:21:40But if it's only seven and sixpence, surely?
00:21:41The court passed judgment and quite rightly.
00:21:43The town is full of dirty little mongrel dogs.
00:21:45The state of the pavement.
00:21:46How much does she owe?
00:21:47Five pounds in the tax.
00:21:49Well, surely they can make an exception.
00:21:51No, no, no.
00:21:52On va payer pour elle.
00:21:54Mais non, mais non.
00:21:55Why pas?
00:21:55Il s'agit d'un principle.
00:21:57Jamais d'un principe.
00:21:58Toujours d'un homme.
00:21:59Here, here.
00:22:03If you're so keen on dogs, save up and get a new one.
00:22:05A new dog.
00:22:06A new dog.
00:22:07A new dog.
00:22:09Blackie, put her on.
00:22:14But...
00:22:16So what was I saying before that unconscionable interview?
00:22:19You were concerned with the well-being of every individual in the community.
00:22:23Ah. I'm asking my friends in Bakay to give me an opportunity of applying these principles.
00:22:28I'll subscribe.
00:22:30What?
00:22:30Unless you want to settle on the quiet, of course.
00:22:33Do you mean for that woman? I wouldn't pay a penny on principle.
00:22:36Wouldn't it be advisable? Especially when you're asking people to vote for you.
00:22:39Thank you very much. Will you kindly mind your own business?
00:22:42I'm asking my friends in Bakay to give me an opportunity of applying these principles.
00:22:48My Lord.
00:22:53You won't put me out of the station. I won't. Will you get out?
00:22:55You won't put me out.
00:22:56I won't get out of the room.
00:22:57Do me highly stinker.
00:23:12Get inside.
00:23:18Now, where was I?
00:23:20Applying these principles.
00:23:21Ah, yes. In a wider field.
00:23:24It is the realization that each unit in the street is a living, breathing soul.
00:23:31Will you get on?
00:23:33A living, breathing soul.
00:23:35Each with his own intense perception of his own rights and his own wrongs.
00:23:40A leader must have that strange sixth sense which enables him to see into the hearts of his people.
00:23:53The prophet says you have to mind the corrections burden.
00:23:56Mr. Burden.
00:23:57Ach away.
00:23:58Ach away yourself. To bed.
00:24:01Go on.
00:24:31I'm sorry.
00:24:34Here, are you going to keep the machines waiting all night?
00:24:37Probably.
00:24:38Here, no smoking within hours.
00:24:41Yeah, ever.
00:24:43Aye.
00:24:54Outmeal.
00:24:55The food of horses in England and men in Scotland.
00:25:01And where, sir, can you find such horses or such men?
00:25:06Mister.
00:25:07Sir, to you. Have some porridge.
00:25:09I can't wait. Did you write that?
00:25:14Listen.
00:25:16I've taken a liking to you, and I'm telling you,
00:25:18seeing you're new at the game, and I'm an old hand.
00:25:21Do you like these?
00:25:22British bacteria and what they do.
00:25:24You're daft.
00:25:26I beg your pardon.
00:25:26Nuts the court in English.
00:25:28You keep your dirty mitts off my breakfast.
00:25:31You're fart.
00:25:34Aye, smile.
00:25:35You'll no stand there by smiling your face like a split melon
00:25:37when the boss in the gaffer gets after you.
00:25:39You're done for.
00:25:40D.O.C.
00:25:41Done for.
00:25:41Where's the golf course?
00:25:51Fart!
00:25:55What the?
00:26:00I'm awfully sorry.
00:26:01Oh, it's you. It's quite all right.
00:26:02You're a bit late with your four.
00:26:04Well, you're a bit early with your aft.
00:26:06Donald, please.
00:26:07Well, anyway, why aren't you working?
00:26:09Donald and I have taken the morning off.
00:26:10Would you care to join us?
00:26:11Yes, I'd love to.
00:26:12I'm afraid I've lost my ball.
00:26:15Yes, you do seem to be lying pretty badly.
00:26:17I'm not lying too well in yourself.
00:26:20Well, let's put two more down.
00:26:21Yes.
00:26:21Come on, Donald, bring the club.
00:26:24Do show me the way.
00:26:25Right.
00:26:25Hand me your machine.
00:26:27And a ball.
00:26:29Your game was bad enough when you were by yourself.
00:26:32What will it be now?
00:26:39Sorry about that business of Mrs. Hegarty's dog.
00:26:44Yes.
00:26:49Still, something ought to be done about it.
00:26:53Yes.
00:26:54Oh, sorry.
00:26:55I'm trying to play.
00:26:57Oh, it's quite all right.
00:27:03Did the brothers go to cry this morning?
00:27:05Yes, early.
00:27:06Why?
00:27:07Oh, nothing.
00:27:12Mr. Hegarty.
00:27:13Mr. Hegarty.
00:27:14You're in the papers.
00:27:15What?
00:27:16There's a whole page about you in the advertiser.
00:27:18Not me.
00:27:19In the advertiser.
00:27:20Tom McWorden, have you a copy of this illustrious publication?
00:27:23You know me,
00:27:24Don McKenna saw it in the library,
00:27:26when he was during his crossword.
00:27:27In the library?
00:27:28Tom McWorden,
00:27:29keep me ice cream warm.
00:27:30What are you doing?
00:27:33You're waiting. You're waiting.
00:27:34Leave it. The front columns are.
00:27:45What's this? Order! Order! Order!
00:27:53Occy!
00:27:54Oh!
00:27:56Daniel O'Connell and Kathleen Houlihan.
00:27:58If that isn't my name, all over the page.
00:28:01In letters the size of a great whale itself that swims in the wide ocean.
00:28:05Scandalious incident over a dog.
00:28:07Will you listen to this now?
00:28:08It's high time our local Bumbles learned to administer the law with decency.
00:28:14What's a Bumbles at all?
00:28:16It was beneath the prophet's dignity to set her mind at rest.
00:28:19It wasn't beneath his dignity to kick her out of doors.
00:28:22He took his boot to her and her a complete stranger.
00:28:26Yes.
00:28:27Isn't that not awful?
00:28:29Tonight this dull bully is holding a political meeting
00:28:32to make a grand parade of his principles.
00:28:35They're not good enough for us, and neither is he.
00:28:43Silence!
00:28:46Silence!
00:28:47Silence!
00:28:49Silence in this room!
00:28:58Congratulations.
00:29:00A magnificent fellow.
00:29:02If we could only apply the knowledge and energy that has gone to the breeding of that animal,
00:29:06to the improvement of the human stock,
00:29:08we could have something like that in three generations.
00:29:30Well, thanks for the game.
00:29:32We'll have another when you have the time.
00:29:33Yes, I think I'll have the time.
00:29:37Victoria!
00:29:40What are you doing here with that man?
00:29:42You know, Mr. Burden.
00:29:43I'm one of the untouchables.
00:29:44I'll say you are.
00:29:47Haven't you heard?
00:29:47Something terrible has happened.
00:29:49Horace is off his head.
00:29:50Oh, no, Lisbeth.
00:29:51Have you had the doctor?
00:29:52Oh, don't be silly.
00:29:53Drive me home and I'll tell you.
00:29:55And Horace will deal with you, you cad.
00:29:58Yes.
00:29:59What on earth?
00:30:00Oh, get on, Vicky.
00:30:01What on earth will he be saying?
00:30:04Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen,
00:30:06these are exceptional times,
00:30:08and they require exceptional,
00:30:11they require exceptional, exceptional measures,
00:30:14and exceptional men.
00:30:16Pause for applause.
00:30:19Ah, my friends.
00:30:20Were you speaking?
00:30:21I was not.
00:30:22Must have been the differential.
00:30:23Uh-huh.
00:30:53Will you see the young gent that called yesterday?
00:30:56What young gent?
00:30:56Him from the newspaper.
00:30:58I think he can't come in.
00:30:59Right-o.
00:31:00And don't say right-o.
00:31:01Okay.
00:31:02He's in.
00:31:05How dare you come and see me?
00:31:07I haven't.
00:31:07I came to see the provost.
00:31:09Well, he's not back.
00:31:10He'll go straight to the hall.
00:31:11Oh, I just want to give him an explanation.
00:31:15I suppose you'll mean an apology.
00:31:17No, an explanation.
00:31:20Oh, I'd better go.
00:31:21It can't be very pleasant for you to see me.
00:31:24I suppose you know what you've done.
00:31:27You've slaughtered a fine, honorable man.
00:31:29It's despicable.
00:31:30What harm has my father ever done to you?
00:31:32To me?
00:31:33No harm.
00:31:34Then why do you stab him in the back like this?
00:31:36Why did you do it?
00:31:38Oh, it's hard to explain.
00:31:39No decent action is ever hard to explain.
00:31:42Oh, perhaps not.
00:31:47You've told me that idiotic business about that dog.
00:31:50You think it's idiotic?
00:31:50Well, it's so, so small.
00:31:52Impression is never small.
00:31:53Well, no, of course, but it doesn't make sense.
00:31:56You lose your job.
00:31:57You'll never get another one.
00:31:59And all because you got sentimental about a silly old woman and her mongrel dog.
00:32:02So did you.
00:32:03You stuck up for her.
00:32:04Well, I tried to care up after the provost had asserted his authority.
00:32:08That's what women are for.
00:32:09Oh, that's what women are for, are they?
00:32:18Why did you do it?
00:32:20Don't be such a mule.
00:32:21I'm trying to help you.
00:32:22Are you?
00:32:24Are you?
00:32:25Why?
00:32:26Well, never mind why.
00:32:29What sort of man are you, anyhow?
00:32:31Well, did you ever know a decent sort of chap?
00:32:33I could tell you straight off what sort of decent chap he was.
00:32:35I never knew a man do the mischief you've done for no reason at all.
00:32:38Well, look here.
00:32:39If you really want to know, I'll tell you something I never told.
00:32:43No, I won't. Goodbye.
00:33:01Tell me.
00:33:06Well, when I was a kid, I lived at the foot of a steep hill.
00:33:10Carts used to go up the hill with heavy loads.
00:33:13Sometimes the horses couldn't take the loads and the carters used to hit them.
00:33:16On their flanks, on their bellies, on their eyes and nostrils.
00:33:20And one day I couldn't stick it any longer.
00:33:22I was terrified out of my life.
00:33:23I went for one of the carters.
00:33:24He just put the fat of his hand against my face and sent me spinning into the gutter.
00:33:28So I said to myself, when you grow up, you will hit out.
00:33:32Every time, no matter what it costs.
00:33:35And you've done that?
00:33:38Yes.
00:33:41Get in.
00:33:48Come on, has the advertiser gone mad?
00:33:51I was away. It was a great shock to me.
00:33:53But what are we to do? Does the provost know?
00:33:55I couldn't say.
00:33:56My, but it's awful. Awful.
00:33:58Horace, I want to talk to you.
00:34:00Willy's not here yet.
00:34:02He won't think I had anything to do with it.
00:34:03Oh, don't be stupid.
00:34:05I wonder if he's seen it.
00:34:06Well, if he hasn't, we daren't tell him now, not before his speech.
00:34:12Here he is.
00:34:21Schlauern!
00:34:22Schlauern!
00:34:24Schlauern!
00:34:24Schlauern!
00:34:25Hello, Vicky.
00:34:26Hello, Vicky.
00:34:26Hello, Vicky.
00:34:27Hello, Vicky.
00:34:27That was a good job you made of my interview.
00:34:28You made the corrections in the proof?
00:34:30Yes.
00:34:33Hello, Vicky.
00:34:42Hello, Calendar.
00:34:43A great night, eh?
00:34:45We want our way!
00:34:48We want our way!
00:34:51We want our way!
00:34:53Do you hear them, Willie?
00:34:54Do you hear that?
00:34:55So, they're calling for their willy.
00:34:57Well, they shall have their willy.
00:35:06We want our way!
00:35:10We want our way!
00:35:44Ladies and gentlemen.
00:35:55Our speaker tonight needs very little introduction from me.
00:36:07There is no one done more for Beaky than Provost God.
00:36:14Tonight, I want you to show him what you really think of him in your hearts.
00:36:19Has Rabbi Wern so wisely said,
00:36:22Oh, would some power the gift take us to see ourselves as others see us?
00:36:30Yes.
00:36:32Now you give the Provost the power to see himself as you see him tonight.
00:36:37Provost God.
00:36:53Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, I think I may call you my friends.
00:37:01I'm sure I may call you my friends.
00:37:05For what is friendship but the will to do and the power to do
00:37:09The best a man can for those with whom he is associated.
00:37:17It is a sacred bond, a beautiful relationship.
00:37:22What's the matter with him, Scary?
00:37:24A sacred bond, a beautiful relationship.
00:37:28We live, my friends, in exceptional times.
00:37:32And such times require exceptional measures.
00:37:36Ah, my friends.
00:37:44What is needed today is a firm hand at the helm.
00:37:48A man who will go on and on and up and up.
00:37:58Always keeping before him the best interests of the whole community.
00:38:06It will be the duty of such a man to protect the oppressed.
00:38:22For what?
00:38:23For what does a man's strength avail him if he does not hold out a helping hand?
00:38:35Oh, where, oh, where is the little love gone?
00:38:40Oh, where, oh, where can he be?
00:38:43With his day that so many years has gone
00:38:46Oh, where, oh, where can he be?
00:38:50Oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where.
00:38:58Oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where.
00:39:04And he wouldn't give her a bow, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:39:08He had to go to catch, but he couldn't get it back,
00:39:12so he took away a bow, oh, oh, oh.
00:39:42What the explanation of this?
00:39:44I never saw the like in 40 years of Scotch politics.
00:39:48Scottish man, Scottish. Who wrote this filth?
00:39:51I'm afraid I did.
00:39:53You did?
00:39:54Yes, he did.
00:39:58You treacherous little sneak, you dirty rat.
00:40:01Oh, father, don't. What's the use?
00:40:02You keep out of this.
00:40:03Listen, Mr Gow.
00:40:04You swimmling little thug.
00:40:05You see, Victoria is no use.
00:40:06Don't you dare to address my daughter.
00:40:08Well, you won't listen to me.
00:40:09Listen to you, you putrid little hack writer.
00:40:10Shut up.
00:40:11What did you say?
00:40:11I said shut up.
00:40:13Oh, father, do stop.
00:40:14Victoria, I think you're the limit.
00:40:15Go on, Willie.
00:40:16Give the little bounder the hiding he deserves.
00:40:18Yes, by gad.
00:40:19I tell you what I'll do to you.
00:40:20Be careful, damn you.
00:40:21I'm rather good at this.
00:40:22Mr. Provost.
00:40:23Oh, Mr. Provost.
00:40:24The sergeant says, will you leave the building?
00:40:26What do you mean?
00:40:27Of course I'll leave the building.
00:40:28Aye, but the sergeant says, will you go out by the back way?
00:40:30The back way?
00:40:31What for?
00:40:32The rowdies are getting out of hand.
00:40:42They're throwing stones.
00:40:43It's time to break in.
00:40:51I'll show the rabble what I think of them.
00:40:53Willie, what are you going to do?
00:40:54I'll show them who's provost.
00:40:56Oh, Willie.
00:40:56They can't carry on like a lot of hooligans in my town.
00:40:59I'm provost.
00:40:59Father, don't you get hurt.
00:41:00I'll deal with you in the morning.
00:41:03And that goes to me.
00:41:04The sergeant says.
00:41:05Oh, shut up.
00:41:08Victoria.
00:41:09You are as bad as this, anyway.
00:41:19Open the door.
00:41:20But you can't show yourself who's there, Mr. Gao.
00:41:22No, you can't show yourself who's there.
00:41:24Open that door.
00:41:52Oh, let's go.
00:41:53You are as great a guy.
00:41:57Oh, my person.
00:41:57Come, Lou, What's?
00:41:57Go, boo, What you do?
00:42:00Oh, my God!
00:42:03Whoo, what about him?
00:42:04Oh, my God!
00:42:05Oh, my God!
00:42:06Oh, my God!
00:42:06Oh, my God!
00:42:07Yeah!
00:42:07Oh, my God!
00:42:08Go, go, go, go!
00:42:38Go, go, go, go!
00:43:02Father, about last night...
00:43:05If there's one thing that I can't tolerate, it's disloyalty.
00:43:08Not content with playing golf with the fellow.
00:43:10Who told you about that?
00:43:12Lisbeth, I suppose.
00:43:13Well, she does know what loyalty is.
00:43:15Well, after all, it was before I knew about the article.
00:43:17It was after you knew that you brought him onto the platform.
00:43:19Well, how was I to know that people were going to jeer at you?
00:43:22Don't exaggerate, Vicky, please.
00:43:24And it wasn't the people.
00:43:26It was a put-up job organized by that unprincipled little skunk.
00:43:29More coffee, please.
00:43:30Mr. Burden had nothing to do with it.
00:43:32Oh, he hadn't. He had nothing to do with the article, I suppose.
00:43:34I know, I know. But I discussed the whole thing with him.
00:43:36You discussed it with him?
00:43:38Yes. And this morning he writes to say that...
00:43:39Oh, he writes.
00:43:41How nice.
00:43:44Well, anyway, if you'd done the right thing,
00:43:46you would have paid the fine yourself.
00:43:47It's all rather trivial.
00:43:49Trivial?
00:43:50Look at this.
00:43:51In the Scottish edition of a London newspaper.
00:43:54Good heavens.
00:43:56Willie, have you seen this?
00:43:58Scottish candidate barked down.
00:43:59Do they think that's funny?
00:44:01What's going to happen at the dinner tonight?
00:44:04Lord Skediver.
00:44:05The party.
00:44:06Something's got to be done and done quickly.
00:44:08Horace is taking Burden round to your office.
00:44:09Good. I'll break that fellow.
00:44:12You'd better be careful.
00:44:14I don't think you know, Mr. Burden.
00:44:19Now, Mr. Burden, I'm going to ask you a few questions.
00:44:21And I'll advise you to stick to the truth.
00:44:25Where are we? Berlin? Moscow? Or where?
00:44:27You'll find out where you are.
00:44:28Soon enough.
00:44:30I'm Nordic, if that's what's worrying you.
00:44:32That's enough.
00:44:32I'll do.
00:44:33Be quiet, you little cad.
00:44:39Come on now.
00:44:40How much did they pay you?
00:44:42Or was it a fat job?
00:44:43It's blackmail.
00:44:45What are you talking about?
00:44:46You needn't act the innocent.
00:44:47We know who's backing you, Burden.
00:44:51Come on, speak up, man.
00:44:53What exactly was it worth to you?
00:44:56Oh, no, you don't.
00:44:57We haven't finished with you yet.
00:44:59Not by a long talk.
00:45:00The opposition paid you to get that muck into the advertiser.
00:45:02And you were at the back of the row, too.
00:45:04The plot unmasked, eh?
00:45:05So you don't deny it?
00:45:06I wouldn't spoil your fun.
00:45:07It'll be no fun for you.
00:45:09You're going to sweat for this.
00:45:10I came here out of my own free will to try and help you out of your mess,
00:45:13though heaven knows why I should.
00:45:14But after your childish insinuation...
00:45:16Wait!
00:45:20Now, this is a withdrawal of the statements you made in your article.
00:45:24And you're going to sign it.
00:45:26I'll read it to you.
00:45:27I, the undersigned...
00:45:29You needn't trouble.
00:45:31No, no, of course not.
00:45:32It's quite in order.
00:45:33Just sign at the bottom.
00:45:35Are you being serious?
00:45:36What do you mean?
00:45:36No.
00:45:37What do you mean, no?
00:45:38I mean, I won't sign it or anything else.
00:45:41You won't sign it?
00:45:42No, I darned well won't.
00:45:43You mean you refuse?
00:45:44That is what I'm trying to convey.
00:45:45But why not?
00:45:46Because every word that I wrote was true.
00:45:47Do you know what this lets you in for?
00:45:48No, I don't care.
00:45:49You can consider yourself sacked.
00:45:51I considered myself that yesterday.
00:45:52You won't find another job.
00:45:53We'll see to that.
00:45:53I'm sure you will.
00:45:54I suppose you know this means an action for, um...
00:45:56For, um...
00:45:57Slander.
00:45:57Aye, slander.
00:45:58And not only civil action, sir, but criminal proceedings.
00:46:01And ten years penal servitude and twenty strokes of the cat three times a day after food.
00:46:05I don't care.
00:46:10Listen, Mr. Gao, you're not a bad chap at heart, but you've got to remember one thing.
00:46:17The people of this country are the most long-suffering on God's earth.
00:46:21They'll put up with humbug, hypocrisy, shilly-shallying, and hardship.
00:46:25They'll pull in their belts if they think it's their duty.
00:46:27They'll go to the four corners of the earth and get blown to bits if needs be.
00:46:31But two things they will not stand.
00:46:34Bullying and cruelty.
00:46:35And if you've forgotten that, I'll make it my business to remind you.
00:46:46I told you to be careful.
00:46:48And what's more, I think he's quite right.
00:47:02You are having fun.
00:47:06Blowing off steam?
00:47:07Yes.
00:47:09You're absolutely furious.
00:47:11Yes.
00:47:11But you haven't the vaguest idea what to do about it.
00:47:22Nice breaking China, isn't it?
00:47:24I wish it was his neck.
00:47:27Fathers?
00:47:28Yes.
00:47:32Aren't you being a little childish?
00:47:37Allow me.
00:47:45I suppose your pride's hurt anyone daring to suspect your motives.
00:47:52You must admit it's a bit hard for any ordinary person not to think you were blinded.
00:47:58Don't break this one.
00:48:08Don't break this one.
00:48:10Oh, allow me.
00:48:16You've got yourself into a nice mess, haven't you?
00:48:19I've won something.
00:48:20Never mind that.
00:48:21What are you going to do?
00:48:23Look for another job, I suppose.
00:48:25If you can get one.
00:48:26And what are you going to do in the meanwhile?
00:48:27Have you got any money at all?
00:48:30Cigarette?
00:48:31No, thanks.
00:48:32You may need them.
00:48:36Frank.
00:48:37Now, don't get excited.
00:48:38I want to ask you a question.
00:48:39Yes, but you call me Frank.
00:48:41Well?
00:48:42That's my name.
00:48:42So I thought.
00:48:43It's the first time you've used my name.
00:48:45Well, what about it?
00:48:46It's the first time you've called me Frank.
00:48:48Oh, do listen.
00:48:48Yes, well, Lennon's not a penny.
00:48:51Oh.
00:48:53There.
00:48:55It's difficult to ask you this,
00:48:56and you mustn't misunderstand me.
00:48:58Do what Father asks.
00:49:00What on earth do you take me for?
00:49:02Eleven stone, six pounds, four ounces.
00:49:09Now, don't be so obstinate.
00:49:12How can you expect me to knuckle under to him?
00:49:14You know I am right.
00:49:15You said so.
00:49:15I never said you were.
00:49:16I said your motives were.
00:49:22Now, don't ask for another one.
00:49:26Frank, you've made your protest,
00:49:28and it was a fine thing to do.
00:49:30That's pig-headedness.
00:49:31And there's nothing new about pig-headedness.
00:49:33It's as old as the pigs.
00:49:34So's this.
00:49:43Frank, be generous.
00:49:45Generous?
00:49:47You dealt Father a pretty hard knock, you know.
00:49:49You made him ridiculous,
00:49:50which was the worst thing you could do.
00:49:52Why not call it a dare?
00:49:54What about Patsy?
00:49:56Well, put it this way.
00:49:58If he behaves decently to Mrs. Hegarty,
00:50:00you'll sign the withdrawal.
00:50:02Supposing you won't?
00:50:03He will.
00:50:04He may break his word.
00:50:07Then we'll both tell the world what we think of him.
00:50:09Both.
00:50:10Both.
00:50:11And you're in this with me.
00:50:14It's a deal.
00:50:17It's what I'm telling you.
00:50:18It's tamping me face in the dust they are when it was rising to the stars.
00:50:22With the people buzzing around like there was bees around the honeysuckle.
00:50:24And me selling ice creams as if they were hot dogs.
00:50:28Give me me shawl.
00:50:29I'm making enough money to pay me fine and get Patsy back so I won't.
00:50:33Oh, Mr. Bird and your honour.
00:50:35They're after arresting me goods and chattels.
00:50:37What's happening, McKellar?
00:50:38They're seizing our goods for debt.
00:50:39Who are?
00:50:40The authorities.
00:50:41Oh, this is fantastic.
00:50:42Oh, it is that.
00:50:43And they're doing in the wee dug tonight.
00:50:53Mrs. Hegarty.
00:50:53We're from the London Sun.
00:50:55Are you a reporter?
00:50:56Yes.
00:50:57Come with me.
00:50:57I'll give you the biggest scoop we've ever had in your life.
00:50:59You'd better come, Mrs. Hegarty, too, and I...
00:51:00Mr. Bird and your honour, don't be doing any more good for me.
00:51:03I've lost Patsy.
00:51:04I've lost me barra.
00:51:05I've given her much more I can lose.
00:51:07Fair to me way.
00:51:08Get after her, quick.
00:51:15If your father thinks he's going to get away with this,
00:51:17he's made the biggest mistake of his life.
00:51:19Don't you wag that thing at me.
00:51:21The deal's off.
00:51:42The condemned man ate a hearty meal.
00:51:49Patsy.
00:51:50Patsy.
00:51:51Go.
00:51:51In.
00:51:58Honoria.
00:51:59It's meself.
00:52:01I've come to say goodbye.
00:52:03You...
00:52:03You didn't say that you were leaving us.
00:52:06It's goodbye to Patsy, Armadon.
00:52:08Well, step on it.
00:52:10Well, they're coming for him.
00:52:19Don't take on, Honoria.
00:52:21It cannot be helped.
00:52:33There he lies.
00:52:34As if he was in his coffin.
00:52:37Aye.
00:52:40I'm real sorry, Honoria,
00:52:42but you can't know how happy the ills we do in this world
00:52:44are in a billion of other fools.
00:52:47That's the truth.
00:52:49Aye.
00:52:51What do you say to a wee drink?
00:52:54Come on, they're open.
00:52:55No, no, Honoria.
00:52:57In return for your kindness.
00:52:59And leave Patsy.
00:53:00Ah, he'll be all right.
00:53:01You can lock the door.
00:53:02Nobody'll know.
00:53:03We'll drink to his dear departing spirit.
00:53:07Sure.
00:53:08Sure, it's only common humanity.
00:53:11Well, I'll get my keys.
00:53:20Only a wee in mind.
00:53:26Mind this, Honoria.
00:53:28The lethal chambers you mean.
00:53:31Just that.
00:53:32You mean.
00:53:36I'm seeking you, my killer.
00:53:39Oh, it's you.
00:53:40Aye, all six of me.
00:53:43I suppose you know you're keeping the vet waiting.
00:53:44Ah, you're keeping the vet waiting.
00:53:46Whist, whist.
00:53:47Have a heart.
00:53:48Have a heart.
00:53:49Do you not cause unnecessary pain?
00:53:52Ach, away will you.
00:53:53Come on round to your lodging and hand him over.
00:53:55Come on.
00:54:05Is he all right, Your Honor?
00:54:09Whist.
00:54:15Your good health, my dear.
00:54:17Thank you, Lord Skereborn.
00:54:18Of course.
00:54:19We must all drink to that.
00:54:21Highland honours, Mr. Provost.
00:54:24Aye.
00:54:25Highland honours.
00:54:26All right.
00:54:28Slange.
00:54:29Slange.
00:54:34Yes, yes.
00:54:35Well, it's like it.
00:54:36Yes, yes.
00:54:38That's right.
00:54:39Well, it's like it.
00:54:40Very nice.
00:54:41Very nice.
00:54:42Very nice.
00:54:44I think they've all enjoyed themselves.
00:54:47Allow me.
00:54:48Don't be too long with the port lords, Skereborn.
00:54:50No, I won't.
00:54:53Ah, my lord.
00:54:54Here.
00:54:54Bring the cigars, Hollis, will you?
00:54:56Come over here, my lord.
00:54:58Come over here and finish your port in comfort, will you?
00:55:01That's right.
00:55:03Cigars.
00:55:08Cigars.
00:55:08Cigars.
00:55:08Thank you, Hollis.
00:55:15Well, girl.
00:55:17How about your adoption as official candidate?
00:55:20Well, I thought that was settled.
00:55:21Yeah.
00:55:22I'd hoped it was, but tell me, what's all this about a dog?
00:55:26I don't understand.
00:55:29Oh, I mean this, you know, at a by-election, the first to be fought by our party.
00:55:35It's, well, what's it all about?
00:55:38I've heard things, you know, to be awkward.
00:55:41Oh, you mean, oh, that.
00:55:43Ah, that was just a storm in a teacup.
00:55:45A woman refused to pay her dog license, and some young lads made a sort of joke about
00:55:49it.
00:55:50Exuberance of youth, you know.
00:55:52It wasn't an organized thing.
00:55:54Oh, no, no.
00:55:56No, no, no.
00:55:57The paper's made out.
00:56:02There was a bit of a riot.
00:56:03A riot?
00:56:04Oh, that wasn't a riot, was it, Hollis?
00:56:06Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:56:08Just, just fun and games.
00:56:17Might I have a drop of whiskey instead of this pot?
00:56:20Why, of course, my lord.
00:56:21Please do, my lord.
00:56:22Please do.
00:56:23Yes, thank you.
00:56:23Please help yourself, won't you?
00:56:27I understand you're very highly respected in this neighborhood, Mr. Go.
00:56:31There's no man more respected than the provost.
00:56:33If you understand me, his word is law.
00:56:36Now, in the development of Vicky, he...
00:56:42Popular, too.
00:56:43Extremely popular.
00:56:45Extremely popular.
00:56:46Well, you know, popularity's a tender plant.
00:56:49The tactless handling of a situation might be the end of us.
00:56:52But I told you, lordship, the whole childish affair is finished and done with.
00:57:01What the devil is that for now?
00:57:04What the devil is that for now?
00:57:25What's the meaning of this tom-poole written?
00:57:26Really, my lord, I...
00:57:31Willie!
00:57:32Horace!
00:57:33Father, what is it?
00:57:35Hold that piece.
00:57:42What's all this?
00:57:43What's that photographer doing here?
00:57:45Mr. Provost!
00:57:47Mr. Provost!
00:57:48Mr. Provost!
00:57:49Oh, Mr. Provost!
00:57:50He's gone!
00:57:51He's gone!
00:57:52Who's gone?
00:57:52Patsy, Mr. Provost!
00:57:53And who is Patsy?
00:57:55Mrs. Hegarty's lord, you dogship!
00:57:59Show him in a teacup, eh?
00:58:02Exuberance of youth, eh?
00:58:04Top de la ray!
00:58:06Call my cat!
00:58:23Help!
00:58:25Help!
00:58:33Help!
00:58:38Help!
00:58:40Help!
00:58:41Help!
00:58:42Help!
00:58:43Help!
00:58:44Help!
00:58:45Help!
00:58:46Help!
00:58:47Help!
00:58:47Help!
00:58:50Help!
00:58:50Help!
00:58:52Help!
00:58:53Help!
00:59:07What are you trying to kill them?
00:59:09Don't encourage them. Help me to call them off.
00:59:23They're petting the boots. Put it down.
01:00:04You're running, my lord.
01:00:08Oh, no, Senegal, please don't go like this.
01:00:10If you only knew Willie, I mean the provost, it's all a terrible mistake.
01:00:14You're running, my lord.
01:00:16Excuse me, my lord.
01:00:17Get off.
01:00:19Get off.
01:00:21Oh, Horace, what a tragedy.
01:00:24Oh, don't be stupid. Come on.
01:00:29Oh, hello.
01:00:34I never want to see you again.
01:00:37Come on. Give them it. Get away me.
01:00:44Call them off, boys. Back over, boys.
01:00:47Call them off.
01:00:51Call them off.
01:00:56Call them off.
01:00:58Call them off.
01:01:01Call them off.
01:01:04Call them off.
01:01:07Call them off.
01:01:08Call them off.
01:01:09Call them off.
01:01:10Call them off.
01:01:11Call them off.
01:01:12Call them off.
01:01:14Call them off.
01:01:15Call them off.
01:01:17What's the start?
01:01:18Oh, Father, don't take it too hard.
01:01:20We all know what you feel.
01:01:21That's just what you don't.
01:01:22None of you understand, Willie.
01:01:24Lisbeth.
01:01:24And you're worse than any of them.
01:01:25You've worked against your own father,
01:01:27carrying on with that rotten little bounder.
01:01:29Lisbeth, control yourself.
01:01:30And you're just as bad.
01:01:31You're jealous of him because he's a man.
01:01:33And you're just a miserable fish.
01:01:35Lisbeth, dear, you're upset.
01:01:36Keep away. Don't touch me.
01:01:37Oh, Willie, my darling, my love,
01:01:39they can't do this to you.
01:01:48It means that I'm not wanted in this house.
01:02:21Here.
01:02:22There's your first instalment.
01:02:24There's yours.
01:02:25Do you think I'm doing this for money?
01:02:26Take it away.
01:02:27Oh, I want a couple of quid to live on.
01:02:28Don't be an ass.
01:02:29Why should the son get all this for nothing?
01:02:30Yeah, take it away.
01:02:31Give it to anyone you like.
01:02:32Give it to the Royal Obsternic Hospital
01:02:33for myopic Pekingese.
01:02:36Give it to Mrs. Hegarty.
01:02:40You're the Procurator Fiscal.
01:02:41You're the public prosecutor, aren't you?
01:02:42Yes, but I don't see...
01:02:43Well, let me do your duty, man.
01:02:44You've got the prosecutor.
01:02:45Yes, but on what charge?
01:02:46Well, find a charge.
01:02:47That's your job.
01:02:51Mr. Burden?
01:02:52What the...
01:02:53I have a warden for your arrest.
01:02:54I must ask you to come with me.
01:02:55What for?
01:02:56Yeah, you can't do that.
01:02:57What's the charge?
01:02:58Let's see the warrant.
01:02:59Come quiet enough.
01:03:12Hello, Burden.
01:03:13Your troubles are over.
01:03:14This is Mr. Watkins of the FFFF...
01:03:17The Federation of Friends of the Feathered, Four-Footed and Furry, you know.
01:03:20God.
01:03:20Mr. Burden, my society is filled with admiration for your great work on this Patsy case.
01:03:25But we feel that you've fought alone in an unequal battle too long.
01:03:28I'm authorized to inform you that my Federation has decided to take up the case officially
01:03:32and to finance your defense.
01:03:34Mr. Burden, we couldn't do otherwise.
01:03:36The enthusiasm of our members.
01:03:38We've made Patsy an honorary vice president.
01:03:41We've also decided...
01:03:42Oh, don't do blazes.
01:03:44Go away.
01:03:45I'm fed up with the whole business.
01:03:47If I wanted to become publicist or distunt to raising funds for your Federation of Futile Fatheads,
01:03:51I'd let you know.
01:03:52You've made a national entertainment out of what was a perfectly honest, straightforward issue.
01:03:56And you want to use it to boost your full society.
01:03:59Well, I won't have it.
01:04:00I don't care if I win the case or lose it.
01:04:04I've lost everything over this.
01:04:05I've lost my job.
01:04:06I've lost my future.
01:04:07I've lost...
01:04:08Oh, take them away.
01:04:10Mr. Burden, you can't behave like this.
01:04:12And you can't say things like that.
01:04:14My society is going to defend you whether you like it or not.
01:04:17Come along, sir.
01:04:34It's downright incontinental, so it is.
01:04:37To see you gazing there at nothing, as if you were Columbus taking his first look at America
01:04:41and the dear heart if you're broken at the sight of it.
01:04:44Come on, man, dear.
01:04:45Don't be refusing the help of others when the sorrow's on you.
01:04:48And stand up for yourself to his honour, the Sheriff.
01:04:50The way you stand up for others.
01:04:52The widow and the orphan, the poor and the needless.
01:04:55Listen.
01:04:57I've caused enough trouble.
01:04:59I'm through.
01:05:00I don't care what they do.
01:05:01I don't want to win the case.
01:05:02I don't want to do anything more to hurt, Miss Victoria.
01:05:04That's the great boy you are, Mr. Burden.
01:05:06And it's the great gift for writing you have.
01:05:08Did I tell you?
01:05:09I had the article framed.
01:05:11It's up on the wall between His Holiness and the coloured enlargement of poor Hegarty that was.
01:05:37It's a cruel shame, that's what it is.
01:05:39Fear makes me boil over.
01:05:43Such a sweet little doggie, my dear.
01:05:46Yes.
01:05:47I know what I'd do with that promise of Bakey.
01:05:53Doing a thing like that to a dog.
01:05:55Bad show.
01:05:59And shout for Patsy Dive.
01:06:02There's 20 million schoolchildren shall know the reason why.
01:06:09I mean, it's hardly playing the game, what?
01:06:12It's not cricket.
01:06:13No.
01:06:16Patsy case.
01:06:17It is understood that reports of the resignation of Provost William Gow were officially denied in Bakey today.
01:06:23Oh, no.
01:06:27Oh.
01:06:33Oh.
01:06:37Oh.
01:06:39Oh.
01:06:42Oh.
01:06:46Oh.
01:06:56Come on.
01:07:26Ah, bring him up.
01:07:29Bring up the panel, Frank Burden.
01:07:31Bring up Frank Burden.
01:07:33I brought myself up.
01:07:35They might have given me some red fire and a cord in the orchestra.
01:07:37This is a court of law. There is no orchestra, whatever.
01:07:40Then there should be.
01:07:41You be quiet.
01:07:47Inasmuch as you did utter or did publish a statement designed or calculated to exercise an improper influence on the
01:07:51voters in the parliamentary election under the Corrupt and Legal Practices Act of 1895.
01:07:55When?
01:07:561895.
01:07:57But I wasn't born then.
01:07:59Have you understood the charge?
01:08:01I've tried to.
01:08:02Do you want it read again?
01:08:04No, thank you.
01:08:05Well, do you plead guilty or not guilty?
01:08:08Does it matter?
01:08:09The prisoner pleads not guilty, my lord.
01:08:10You know best.
01:08:12We may proceed.
01:08:14Why not?
01:08:16Call Robert Andrews.
01:08:18Robert Andrews.
01:08:19Robert Andrews.
01:08:22Robert Andrews.
01:08:27Do brisk up, Willie.
01:08:29I wish I could see Victoria.
01:08:31Oh, her. She won't turn up anyway.
01:08:34Willie, when you've won your case, Horace may call off the divorce.
01:08:39Sometimes I think you're without one moral principle.
01:08:42And nothing but the truth.
01:08:44And nothing but the truth.
01:08:46You're Robert Andrews.
01:08:47I am.
01:08:48You're a compositor working for the Bakey Advertiser.
01:08:51I am.
01:08:51That is, you set up in print the matter appearing in the paper.
01:08:54I do.
01:08:54Now, on the night in question, were you given by the panel a last-minute article to set up?
01:08:58I was.
01:08:59And was the panel the author of the article?
01:09:01I was.
01:09:03Silence.
01:09:03Silence.
01:09:06How dare you?
01:09:08I'm trying to save time.
01:09:09But I defend the case.
01:09:09I expect my client to behave himself.
01:09:11I didn't ask you to.
01:09:12I wanted to defend myself.
01:09:12Mr. Burden, there are 3,000 pounds put forward for your defense by the FFFF.
01:09:16We all know where that's going to.
01:09:19Really?
01:09:20Leave him to me, Mr. Minges.
01:09:22Mr. Burden, you must not interrupt the hearing.
01:09:25Go on.
01:09:26How did you know the panel was the author of the article?
01:09:29It was his English hand of writing.
01:09:31What do you mean by that?
01:09:33Illiterate, you'll understand.
01:09:37Silence.
01:09:39I understand you had difficulty in deciphering the article.
01:09:42It was practically a physical impossibility.
01:09:45You're quite sure you set in print what the panel wrote?
01:09:47Of course he did.
01:09:50Keep quiet.
01:09:51I corrected the proof myself.
01:09:52For heaven's sake, hold your tongue.
01:09:53Well, that doesn't suggest I didn't write what I did write.
01:09:56You really must speak to your client, Mr. Minges.
01:09:58My lord, you told me to leave him to you.
01:10:01Don't be impertinent.
01:10:04Silence.
01:10:05The next person to laugh will be turned out of this court.
01:10:14Yes, sir.
01:10:15Vicky.
01:10:16Why, I thought you weren't coming.
01:10:19What else could I do?
01:10:20I've missed you, Vicky.
01:10:22It was decent of you to have kept away from him.
01:10:25You were mistaken in him, Vicky.
01:10:27He's just a self-seeking little rotter.
01:10:30He's nothing of the kind.
01:10:31He didn't do anything you didn't goad him to.
01:10:33And you're bringing this case simply to satisfy your own pride.
01:10:36I see.
01:10:36So you're still taken in with the fellow.
01:10:38Well, it'll interest you to know that I've got him this time.
01:10:42What?
01:10:43You are Margaret Twine.
01:10:45Sure.
01:10:46Just answer yes or no.
01:10:49Okay.
01:10:50You're employed as a parlour maid by Provost Gull.
01:10:53Says you.
01:10:54What is the meaning of this expression, says you?
01:10:59Well, my lord, it's a slang phrase of American origin which has gained regrettable currency
01:11:05in the language of our people through the insidious agency of the cinema.
01:11:09And it is, I'm given to understand, employed to indicate a state of dubiety in the mind
01:11:14of the speaker as to the veracity or credibility of a statement matric.
01:11:21Oh, yeah?
01:11:58Gloria and Lord!
01:11:59Ah, here I am, me, sir.
01:12:00Don't be raising the roof.
01:12:01The court's waiting.
01:12:02Where on earth have you been here?
01:12:03Sure I had to take my patsy out of a nursing home.
01:12:05The publicity got on the nerves of him.
01:12:07And he's had to have a rest cure.
01:12:08You're lucky not to get six months for content to court.
01:12:11Well, I don't know about the six months.
01:12:13But I've got the contempt all right.
01:12:19And I will tell the truth.
01:12:20Tell the truth.
01:12:21The whole truth.
01:12:22The whole truth.
01:12:22And nothing but the truth.
01:12:24Nothing but the truth.
01:12:26Your name, I believe, is Honoria Gaken, or Hegarty.
01:12:31I'll make up your mind, man, which it is. Hegarty, it is.
01:12:33Now, on the evening, under discussion, you've paid a visit to Mr. Gow's house,
01:12:38Clyde View McCullum Road.
01:12:39I did in all.
01:12:40You've caused to remember that evening.
01:12:42It pauses it, and the foot of me back hitting every step.
01:12:46And I was a great large groom.
01:12:47It was the color of a rainbow in the sky.
01:12:49It's not faded away yet.
01:12:51Look, if you could only see it.
01:12:52Yes, well, never mind about that.
01:12:53Oh, it's easy for you to talk.
01:12:56Couldn't I get in, please?
01:12:58Was you involved in the case?
01:12:59Yes, but I...
01:13:00Nay, nay, I'll hate to wait till I bore you out.
01:13:02And now, we come to the evening of the, uh, the canine demonstration at Mr. Gow's house.
01:13:09Now, tell me, on that day, did the accused express animals against the provost?
01:13:14Sure, all the animals and the length and breadth of the land is against the provost.
01:13:17Yes, thank you, that'll do.
01:13:18Mr. Minges, do you wish to question the witness?
01:13:22Certainly not, my lord.
01:13:24Indeed, I'll be waiting with all the patience I can muster to hear why the crown has called this rather
01:13:27irrelevant lady.
01:13:29Oh, Patsy!
01:13:31Did you hear what he called me?
01:13:33Yes, you must stand down.
01:13:35God bless your honor and her ladyship.
01:13:37If so be, there's such a lucky woman as to be wed to your holiness.
01:13:43Michael Cassidy.
01:13:45From his rub to his shoulders, he's a taste of the sheepdog.
01:13:48But he's got the muzzle of a setter and the ears of a cock or spaniard.
01:13:52And he's a wise look on him like an Irish terrier.
01:13:55And he's a soldier-like tail like a Pomeranian.
01:13:58And he's got the sad, noble eyes of a poodle.
01:14:01In fact, he's not so much dog.
01:14:03That's an epitome of all the dogs that ever run round this world on four legs.
01:14:09Yes, but what's he worth?
01:14:10Six napins.
01:14:12My lord, what has this to do with the case?
01:14:14I'm establishing motive by a process of elimination.
01:14:17Must you eliminate the entire population of the British Islands and the Irish Free State?
01:14:21My lord, I object to this witness.
01:14:23I don't.
01:14:26What did you say?
01:14:27I said I had no objection.
01:14:29Are you going to keep quiet?
01:14:30Fairly, not altogether.
01:14:31I'll abandon the case.
01:14:32Good.
01:14:33Really?
01:14:34My lord?
01:14:35Now, now, Mr. Burden, you mustn't speak like that, you know.
01:14:38I realise you're a very young man.
01:14:41And indeed, I sometimes fail to fathom the younger generation.
01:14:44They seem to have no balance, no stability.
01:14:47What with swing music, automating gambling machines,
01:14:50and the encouragement given to idleness and loose living by the British Broadcasting Corporation.
01:14:55What are you laughing at, Mr. Minges?
01:14:58Was I laughing, my lord?
01:14:59You made a sort of gesture with your features that I've always taken as an expression of amusement.
01:15:04I'm unaware of anything amusing in what I am saying.
01:15:07I hardly fancied you were, my lord.
01:15:08Then perhaps you'll refrain from cacinating until you find yourself in a more suitable place for that exercise.
01:15:13With all respect, your lordship misapprehended the exact nature of the gestures to which your lordship was pleased to refer.
01:15:18As a matter of fact, I was stifling a very insistent yawn.
01:15:22Indeed, Mr. Minges?
01:15:24Perhaps your lordship will now revise your pronouncement as to the suitable place for that exercise.
01:15:29If you wish me, Mr. Minges, to recount the uses for which this place is suitable, I'm quite prepared to
01:15:34do so.
01:15:34For one thing, it is suitable for the exercise of your undoubted talents as defending counsel.
01:15:39Talents which I may remark I've not observed to be conspicuously employed on this particular case.
01:15:46My lord, your lordship's opinion of my poor capabilities, expressed, if I may say in all sincerity, with a terseness
01:15:51and clarity that are a credit to the Scottish bar, has left me with no alternative but to withdraw from
01:15:56the case.
01:15:57I have been grossly insulted.
01:15:58Good morning.
01:15:59Let me just amends.
01:16:01Silence!
01:16:03And now, my lord, may I defend myself?
01:16:05Well, I can't stop you.
01:16:07You may leave the doctor to consult your solicitor.
01:16:09The good name of the FFFF.
01:16:13Don't spit at me, sir.
01:16:15Let me sit down here.
01:16:16If you look at me, I will.
01:16:16I will.
01:16:17If you look at me, I will.
01:16:17If you look at me, I will.
01:16:21If you look at me, I will.
01:16:22What's happened?
01:16:23Willie, Burden's defending himself.
01:16:25What?
01:16:25They've adjourned while the little fool consults his solicitor.
01:16:28I'm delighted to hear it.
01:16:35Hello.
01:16:36Hello.
01:16:37Oh, Vicky.
01:16:38Nice of you to pop in.
01:16:39I thought you didn't want to see me again.
01:16:41This is a public court, isn't it?
01:16:42Oh, I see you've come to see me hanged.
01:16:44Well, it looks like it.
01:16:45You seem determined to throw away your case.
01:16:47Oh, it's my case, isn't it?
01:16:49Oh, don't be a fool, Frank.
01:16:53Did I hear you call me Frank?
01:16:54You can't talk to a witness for the prosecution.
01:16:58Are you a witness?
01:16:59Well, yes, I am, but...
01:17:01Oh, I see, sir.
01:17:01Your father's dragged you into it now.
01:17:02How dare you say things like that?
01:17:04I can't help it, and I was called by the crown, and I...
01:17:06Oh, I understand.
01:17:07You're entitled to say and do exactly what you like.
01:17:09Reverend, I've been looking for you everywhere.
01:17:10Now, do you know what to do?
01:17:13I know what to do, all right.
01:17:21Father, I beg of you, don't go on with this case.
01:17:24What?
01:17:24Well, of course I shall go on with it.
01:17:25At least I won't.
01:17:26It isn't my case, but the crown will.
01:17:28The court sends session.
01:17:30The law has been set in motion, and the law must operate.
01:17:33I intend to be vindicated.
01:17:36Oh, but, Father, you must listen to me.
01:17:37Don't take any notice of her, will he?
01:17:39William Gow.
01:17:41William Gow.
01:17:49Now, now, let's...
01:17:52Oh, Mr. Skirving, can you help me?
01:17:54I must get into the court, and they won't let me in because I'm a witness.
01:17:56Oh, I see.
01:17:58Well, I'll just keep them busy, and you slink in.
01:18:00Oh, thank you.
01:18:01Oh, and, Victoria, listen.
01:18:03Don't think too hardly of Lisbeth.
01:18:05I won't.
01:18:06Donald.
01:18:07Sir?
01:18:08Who are you keeping?
01:18:09Oh, bonnie, man, bonnie.
01:18:11That's fine.
01:18:11Tell me, how's that wee daughter of yours getting on with the ballet dancing?
01:18:14Oh, man, she's grand.
01:18:16She's just a picture.
01:18:19In short, you've the strongest reason to believe that you've been the victim of deliberate and persistent persecution.
01:18:24Absolutely.
01:18:27Mr. Burden, do you wish to cross-examine?
01:18:29I'll say I do.
01:18:33Silence.
01:18:38Now, Mr. Gow, when did this so-called persecution start?
01:18:42The night you organized a pack of hooligans to break up my meeting.
01:18:45Oh, no, no.
01:18:46Before that.
01:18:46What about my article?
01:18:48Wasn't that part of the persecution?
01:18:49Certainly it was.
01:18:50Then I'll ask you again.
01:18:52When did the persecution start?
01:18:54I suppose you want me to say when Mrs. Hegarty came to my house.
01:18:57Exactly.
01:18:58She came to you very distressed.
01:19:00No doubt.
01:19:00But she didn't take her grievance to the proper quarter.
01:19:02Didn't she?
01:19:03Weren't you the provost, the father of his people?
01:19:06Yes, yes.
01:19:06But if I happen to be distressed by a burst pipe, shall we say, I don't take my distress to
01:19:11the prime minister.
01:19:12I get a plumber in a manner of speaking, my lord.
01:19:15Well, in a manner of speaking, sir.
01:19:16Mrs. Hegarty probably thought you were the plumber.
01:19:19Mr. Burden.
01:19:21Silence!
01:19:24So you were surprised the day after Mrs. Hegarty's visit when your meeting refused to listen to you.
01:19:28Nothing surprises me, Mbicki.
01:19:30Oh, then it didn't surprise you they should take a strong line with a canting humbug who...
01:19:34My lord, I object.
01:19:35Mr. Burden, I ought perhaps to warn you that this sort of thing is impressing me very unfavorably.
01:19:40Very unfavorably indeed.
01:19:41Go on.
01:19:42So you vented your annoyance on a poor woman and her dog.
01:19:45You took her barrow.
01:19:47I did nothing of the sort.
01:19:48As for being a poor woman...
01:19:49You took her barrow.
01:19:50She seems to have done very well out of it.
01:19:52Very insolent of her, Mr. Gow.
01:19:59Look here, why do you suppose the whole town turned against you all of a sudden?
01:20:02Because you deliberately set yourself to make trouble.
01:20:04What do you suppose my motive was for that?
01:20:06How should I know?
01:20:07Self-advertisement, I should think.
01:20:09I did it because I'm an ordinary sort of man.
01:20:11And when I see a bully and a coward...
01:20:13Behave yourself, Mr. Burden.
01:20:14You're throwing away your case.
01:20:15I'm trying to get at the truth.
01:20:17Why can't he be a man?
01:20:18Why does he go sneaking around persecuting widows and little mongrel dogs?
01:20:21Lord, I dig.
01:20:22You don't take control yourself.
01:20:24I'll stand up to anyone who hits above the belt.
01:20:26Who hit you below the belt?
01:20:27You did.
01:20:28In what way?
01:20:29You wound your way into my family circle.
01:20:31Stop that.
01:20:31I won't have your family circle mentioned in this court.
01:20:35You won't have it.
01:20:35If you'd shown a little decent feeling earlier on...
01:20:38Stop, stop.
01:20:39What's all this about Mr. Gow's family circle?
01:20:42Ask him.
01:20:43My lord, the reference must be to Mr. Gow's daughter.
01:20:46She's a witness to the prosecution.
01:20:48Yes, my lord.
01:20:48That's the sort of man he is.
01:20:49Mr. Burden.
01:20:50But it's scandalous.
01:20:51Quiet, sir.
01:20:52I won't be quiet.
01:20:53I'm calling her next, my lord.
01:20:55No, you're not.
01:20:59Silent.
01:21:01Silent.
01:21:04Come out here, you.
01:21:19Now, who are you and what did you say?
01:21:22I'm Mr. Gow's daughter and I said I wasn't being called as a witness.
01:21:25Why not pray?
01:21:26Because I can't give evidence.
01:21:27Oh, yes, you can.
01:21:28We'll see about that.
01:21:29Oh, but I can't.
01:21:30Oh, why not?
01:21:32Because the accused and I are husband and wife.
01:21:39Silent.
01:21:43But is this true?
01:21:46Yes.
01:21:48My lord, I must ask for an adjournment.
01:21:52But I can't keep on adjourning.
01:21:54My lord, this is a profound shock.
01:21:56Oh, very well.
01:22:01Oh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
01:22:09They're married.
01:22:11I and a wife can't give evidence against her husband.
01:22:14That's the law.
01:22:17Send Mr. Burden here at once.
01:22:18You can't do that, sir.
01:22:20It's most irregular.
01:22:21Do as I tell you.
01:22:23Oh, Vicky.
01:22:24I tell you what, Willie.
01:22:25Oh, don't start yammering at me.
01:22:27You've done a nice thing.
01:22:29Well, I asked you not to go on with the case.
01:22:30Why didn't you tell me?
01:22:32I can't have a son-in-law serving six months.
01:22:34You sent for me?
01:22:40What do you mean by marrying my daughter?
01:22:44I haven't.
01:22:46What?
01:22:46I only just said that.
01:22:49We haven't seen each other since I left the house.
01:22:51Then why in heaven's name?
01:22:52To stop you.
01:22:54Huh?
01:22:54To save you both from your stupid pride.
01:22:57But do you realize what she's done?
01:23:00They can have her for contempt.
01:23:01For my...
01:23:03It's worse.
01:23:04It's purge of her.
01:23:05Yes.
01:23:08Oh.
01:23:16Stop the case.
01:23:18What?
01:23:18I can't stop the case.
01:23:19And I won't stop the case.
01:23:20Willie.
01:23:21You have insufficient evidence.
01:23:22Oh, very well.
01:23:22I'll put you back in the box.
01:23:23Willie.
01:23:24No, you won't.
01:23:25You can't make a fool of the crowd.
01:23:26You can't force me in.
01:23:27And you can't bully me.
01:23:28You go back in that box.
01:23:29Go along, girl.
01:23:30Very well.
01:23:31Willie.
01:23:31Oh, go to please this woman.
01:23:34Horace.
01:23:34He called me a woman.
01:23:36All right, my dear.
01:23:44Now, Mr. Gow, the news you've just heard is, of course, a great shock to you.
01:23:49No.
01:23:54But do you mean to tell the court that you condone this maneuver on the part of the panel?
01:23:58Yes.
01:24:02Silence.
01:24:04Mr. Gow, it was with your consent that this scoundrel...
01:24:07My lord, may I make a statement?
01:24:09My lord, I protest.
01:24:10Go on, Mr. Gow.
01:24:15I want to say that in my considered opinion, Mr. Burden was fully justified in all the
01:24:21actions he took against me.
01:24:24I think Mr. Burden misjudged me.
01:24:27But he misjudged me without malice.
01:24:29Hurrah for the trialist!
01:24:30Hurrah!
01:24:32Hurrah!
01:24:33Hurrah!
01:24:34Hurrah!
01:24:35Hurrah!
01:24:35Hurrah!
01:24:37Hurrah!
01:24:37Hurrah!
01:24:39Hurrah!
01:24:41Hurrah!
01:24:41Clear the court. Clear the court.
01:24:45Clear the town. Clear the town.
01:24:50I hadn't fully realized that a public man is apt to get above himself.
01:24:55I'm grateful to Mr. Burden for bringing me back to earth.
01:24:58In regard to Mrs. Hegarty and her dog, Patsy,
01:25:02I forgot to apply one of the great principles of my life.
01:25:06It is this.
01:25:07It is only the realization
01:25:11the sympathetic realization
01:25:13the deeply sympathetic realization
01:25:17that each unit in the state
01:25:20is a living, breathing soul.
01:25:23Each with his own aspirations.
01:25:27Each with his own peculiarly intense perception
01:25:30of his own rights and his own wrongs.
01:25:36A leader must have that strange sixth sense
01:25:41that enables him to see into the hearts of his people,
01:25:46to feel in his own flesh and in his own blood
01:25:51the wounds and distresses they suffer.
01:25:55to a leader
01:25:58even though the least of his people.
01:26:19To a leader
01:26:23who are facing the death of his own right?
01:26:28He comin' by him.
01:26:42the comfort of all his own.
01:26:43To a leader
01:26:43has been the physical zeal
01:26:43and the core of his own right?
01:26:43To the people
01:26:48have been the most
01:26:49who has the mainist
01:26:49is a leader to
01:26:50You
