Let me at him, let me at him.
1:05:16
Please.
1:05:29
They say he'll get 20 years.
I hope he does. Serve him right.

1:05:37
I'm not gonna press the charges.
1:05:39
He ain't a bad guy, honey.
According to his way of looking at things.

1:05:43
Remember he took me off the breadline.
1:05:45
But he tried to kill you.
1:05:47
Why shouldn't he?
1:05:49
Don't you think I'd take a pop at a guy
that slipped me the triple cross?

1:05:53
You gave him back the money.
1:05:55
Sure.
1:05:57
Anything should slip up there,
we'd be up the crick. No fooling.

1:06:02
You're just tired and irritated, darling.
1:06:08
Nothing's going to slip up.
Nothing can go wrong.

1:06:11
You're going to do your best for everybody.
1:06:14
You'll be the finest governor
this state ever had.

1:06:17
There's no money in it, you understand?
Just a salary.

1:06:20
- There are some things finer than money.
- Yeah?

1:06:25
I feel leery about the whole setup.
1:06:27
Sweatshops and tenements
are very hot stuff to handle.

1:06:31
Child labour is just plain dynamite.
1:06:34
Well, suppose it is.
It's worth the effort, isn't it?

1:06:37
Maybe.
1:06:39
"Maybe."
1:06:42
Doesn't it mean anything to stop children
being exploited in dark, airless factories,

1:06:46
when they ought to be out
playing in the sunshine?

1:06:48
- Did you ever work in a factory?
- You know I didn't.

1:06:51
Well, I did, see.
When I was seven years old.

1:06:54
Instead of playing on the streets,
learning a lot of dirty words.

1:06:59
I earned four dollars a week for my mother.
