:22:00
A few little odds and ends,
but I'll get the money for that.
:22:02
That's what I was afraid of.
:22:03
No, Dave,
that isn't why I wanted to see you.
:22:05
No, I want you to take me for a little drive.
I want to show you something.
:22:08
I'm a busy man.
:22:09
That's just it, Dave.
Now, you've been working too hard...
:22:12
with the new store and everything.
A little drive in the country will relax you.
:22:15
Just what you need.
Just what we both need.
:22:18
- Bye, Father Flanagan.
- Goodbye, boys.
:22:21
Now remember what I told you.
:22:44
Lovely country, isn't it?
:22:46
Over 200 acres here of rich, fine soil.
:22:49
You could really live and breathe out here.
:22:50
- What about it?
- I want to buy it.
:22:52
Now, look, Dave, I can get it cheap.
Just look at it, Dave.
:22:56
We could build a real town
for the boys here.
:22:58
They could have gardens, dormitories,
gymnasiums, classrooms...
:23:01
Mortgages, and bills, and debts!
Be reasonable.
:23:04
First you started with five boys,
then it was 20, then it was 50.
:23:07
With this place,
you'd be looking for 100 boys.
:23:09
- 500.
- All right, 500. What?
:23:12
How you going to get the money?
How you going to do it? It's crazy.
:23:15
Well, maybe you're right.
:23:20
- What did you say?
- Maybe you're right.
:23:22
Eddie, don't you feel well?
:23:25
Maybe it's just a dream
that I'll never see fulfilled.
:23:29
It seems a shame though,
a lot of boys cheated out of the chance...
:23:32
to live a nice, decent life out in the open,
where they belong.
:23:35
Stop it.
:23:37
- How many acres?
- Over 200.
:23:39
But you can't handle
as big a thing as this...
:23:40
without a lot of public support,
contributions.
:23:42
I haven't been a bad risk so far, have I?
:23:44
No, you've paid back everything.
How, I don't know. It isn't that.
:23:47
But this time you're biting off
more than you can chew.
:23:49
The newspapers aren't friendly to you,
as it is.
:23:51
- What do you think they'll say about this?
- I know.
:23:53
- What do you suggest?
- Hargraves.
:23:55
He owns the most powerful string
of newspapers in the Middle West.
:23:58
And he's a tough nut to crack.
