:55:00
That's true, unfortunately.
:55:01
Did it ever strike you
how many of that 800 offered to pay?
:55:04
- No. How many?
- At least a third.
:55:07
And your dormitories so full of boys
who can't pay, you couldn't take those in.
:55:12
With that kind of school,
you could be financed, comfortably...
:55:15
by parents who will pay you
to straighten out their boys.
:55:18
- These figures...
- Figures.
:55:20
I've made liars out of figures all my life.
:55:22
If I hadn't, there wouldn't be one stone
on top of another in Boys Town.
:55:25
Hundreds of boys have been here.
They're out in the world now...
:55:27
with their heads up. They're making good,
every one of them.
:55:30
That's serving my Creator and my country.
:55:33
In 30 days, Father Flanagan, they'll be
obliged to take this place away from you...
:55:37
unless you change your mind.
:55:38
No use, Burton.
He'll do what he thinks is right...
:55:40
if the heavens fall down.
:55:42
You know figures are the most...
:55:44
Later on, youngster.
:55:47
Pee Wee.
:55:49
This is Boys Town.
:55:51
All right, Pee Wee, go.
:55:54
You're as cold as Greenland.
:55:57
Getting colder.
:56:00
Now you're getting warm, Pee Wee.
:56:03
You're burning up, Pee Wee.
You're red hot.
:56:06
There you are.
:56:09
Hey, Pee Wee...
:56:11
did you brush your teeth?
:56:13
I lost my toothbrush.
:56:17
You lost your... When, Pee Wee?
:56:20
A couple of days.
:56:22
A...
:56:25
Paul, come in here.
:56:27
A couple of...
Pee Wee, I'm sorry about that.
:56:30
Now that's my fault.
:56:32
Paul, how in the world
could we let Pee Wee go...
:56:34
for two whole days without a toothbrush?
:56:40
Pee Wee, you've got to have
some more candy to make up for that.
:56:44
Paul, I want you to go right down...
:56:45
to the storeroom,
and get him a brand new toothbrush.
:56:48
And you ask the Commissioner
of his dormitory how a thing like that...
:56:51
could ever happen, 'cause he's a good boy,
and we've been neglecting him.
:56:54
He wouldn't think of coming in here
for candy if he hadn't been a good boy.
:56:57
Take care of that right away, Paul,
and make a big fuss about it. It's a shame.
