1:22:01
But l can't tell you about it.
1:22:03
If l could, you'd see how silly
it is to make all this fuss.
1:22:06
Just lay off me tonight.
I'll do anything.
1:22:08
I'll help you
find those reporters.
1:22:11
- That's what you want, isn't it?
- Sure. Where you got them, Dude?
1:22:13
I ain't got them,
but l send the word round,
1:22:16
those reporters will be back
at their desks tomorrow.
1:22:20
Just call off your men
till 12 o'clock tonight.
1:22:23
Sorry, Dude. Can't do business.
1:22:26
You'll have a police escort
until those reporters show up.
1:22:29
If that's the way you feel,
l'll tell ya something.
1:22:32
You're right!
I have got those reporters.
1:22:35
But they're not
going to show up, see?
1:22:38
They won't show up until
l'm good and ready to produce 'em.
1:22:41
- Now will you do business?
- Sure, we'll do business.
1:22:48
Mac.
1:22:50
So you've got the reporters, huh?
1:22:52
I thought so.
Arrest these two guys.
1:22:56
This won't do you any good.
1:22:58
You can always do business
with the Police Department.
1:23:01
- Yes, sir?
- Get me the Mayor on the phone.
1:23:03
I don't think you can get him.
He's got a party for the Governor.
1:23:05
I'll get him when he finds out
it's about the reporters.
1:23:08
I wouldn't be surprised if
the Mayor made a deal with you.
1:23:11
Probably settle for 50 years.
1:23:14
Don't be a sap, Commissioner.
Why drag the Mayor into this?
1:23:17
You want those reporters, don't ya?
1:23:19
The newspapers are making
a sucker out of you.
1:23:21
Now you can come out on top.
1:23:23
What? Well, tell him
it's about those reporters. Yes.
1:23:25
There ain't anything crooked
about this whole thing.
1:23:27
You'd laugh your head off
if you heard the story.
1:23:30
Sure, l'm laughing right now.
1:23:32
- Hello, Chief.
- Wait a minute.
1:23:34
Before you talk to him,
l'll tell you the whole story.
1:23:36
You'll think l'm nuts,
but here's the real lowdown.
1:23:39
Say, you believe
in fairy tales, don't you?
1:23:42
What?
1:23:44
No, it's no use.
1:23:47
I'll hang before l let you
give me the horselaugh.
1:23:49
Talk to the Mayor,
talk to anybody you want,
1:23:51
but l'll tell you one thing,
you'll never see those reporters.
1:23:55
Hello, Chief.
I've got Dave the Dude right here.
1:23:58
Yes, he admits having
the three reporters.
