:53:01
He just looks so real, you know
he believes everything he says.
:53:04
Honestly, it just makes me sick
to think of a man like Gil Warren...
:53:07
trying to run Chicago when there
are men here like your brother.
:53:11
Can you imagine the mayor
he'd make if he had the chance?
:53:14
Well, if he hadn't gotten mixed up
with that reform crowd--
:53:17
Wait a minute.
:53:19
- l've got an idea.
- What?
:53:21
l just thought what do with that check
Gil Warren gave me.
:53:23
Back to The Senate.
:53:28
ln brief, we've come here
to ask you to run for mayor.
:53:31
- What?
- We have canvassed the field,
and you're the man we want.
:53:35
Well, this is all
very flattering, gentlemen.
:53:38
May l-- May l ask
whom you represent?
:53:41
The respectable
people of Chicago...
:53:43
citizens who want a new deal
in our city administration.
:53:46
We're organizing
a reform party.
:53:48
- l'm not sure l'm the man.
- We're willing to take that chance.
:53:51
- lt's a great opportunity.
- Decent people are waiting
for an honest program.
:53:55
You'll carry every district, except,
perhaps, Gil Warren's Patch.
:53:59
l'm not so sure
he won't get that too.
:54:01
Your brother's influential there.
Surely he'll support you.
:54:04
l'm afraid you can't
count on my brother.
:54:06
You see, we O'Learys
are a strange tribe.
:54:09
- Then we'll win without the Patch.
- Chicago needs you.
:54:12
- Yes, Mr. O'Leary.
- Will you do it, sir?
:54:16
Thank you, gentlemen.
l'll run.
:54:24
What did he say when you suggested
that l would support him?
:54:27
He said he's afraid he couldn't figure on you.
:54:30
Well, at least he's agreed to run.
That's the first step.
:54:33
What worries me is,
can you control him once he's in?
:54:37
He's a pretty stubborn
young fellow.
:54:40
You leave that to me.
We O'Learys are a strange tribe.
:54:48
- How's that?
- Not bad.
:54:51
Of course, it doesn't
look much like you.
:54:54
"Jack O'Leary, candidate for mayor.
Reform ticket."
:54:58
That's a great thing for Chicago.
l'd like to help.
