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.
1:24:03
He does, huh?
Call the Governor.
1:24:05
Governor.
1:24:09
Dave the Dude admits
having the reporters.
1:24:11
Good!
Have they arrested him yet?
1:24:13
Sure they've arrested him,
Governor.
1:24:16
But what will happen now?
1:24:17
In the morning a bail bond
will get him out again.
1:24:20
- That's ridiculous.
- It how it works in this town.
1:24:24
He's got a colossal nerve.
1:24:26
He can't make any deals
with the Police Department.
1:24:28
There's an example for you.
He wants to make a deal with us.
1:24:31
Says if we don't leave him alone
tonight, we'll never see them.
1:24:33
- That's outrageous!
- Don't get excited, Governor.
1:24:35
It's the customary procedure.
1:24:38
Bring Dave the Dude up here.
1:24:40
Yes, that's exactly what l said.
Bring him up here.
1:24:42
Don't worry about my guests.
This is more important.
1:24:46
You gentlemen have freely
criticized this administration.
1:24:49
Let's see what you can do.
1:24:51
I'll let you spread him
all over the front pages!
1:24:54
I'd send a criminal like that
away for life!
1:24:57
Here's your chance, Governor.
