:24:03
- You can call it advertising.
- No, sir.
:24:05
(Phone rings)
:24:07
Yes?
:24:09
I'm sorry, Miss Dangerfield, Alderman
McGinty is in conference just now.
:24:14
I certainly will.
:24:16
Thank you.
:24:20
Go on.
:24:21
"Backing this agitation, said the mayor,
are so-called pious men
:24:24
"who have accepted money from racketeers
and gamblers in sanctimonious secrecy.
:24:31
"The petition was filed by Doctor Jarvis,
:24:34
"chairman of
the Civic Purity League Incorporated." Ah.
:24:37
They're always talking about graft,
but they forget if it wasn't for graft,
:24:42
you'd get a very low type of people
in politics, men without ambition.
:24:46
Especially since you can't rob the people.
:24:48
Sure.
:24:49
How is that?
:24:51
What you rob, you spend,
what you spend goes back to the people.
:24:55
So where's the robbery?
I read that in a book.
:24:58
That book should be in every home.
:25:07
- What a racket.
- Not what I...
:25:09
You shut up!
:25:11
Quit sucking your clackers, you.
And don't rub that on the carpet.
:25:15
Now get outta here.
:25:17
All of you.
:25:27
Get me Jarvis.
:25:29
(Speaks in Russian)
:25:31
(Spits)
:25:33
I suppose you saw the afternoon paper.
:25:35
They cut down good trees
to print stuff like that on them.
:25:38
Look, Jonas...
:25:41
we need a new face.
:25:43
Clean, typical American.
:25:45
Upright, dependable.
:25:47
Somebody they don't know too much about.
:25:50
What do you think of McGinty?
:25:52
The alderman.
:25:55
Never heard of him?
:25:57
Well, that's just what I'm talking about.
