...a Kane paper closes.
:10:03
For Kane, in four short years, collapse.
:10:07
Eleven Kane papers merged,
more sold, scrapped.
:10:22
Is that correct?
:10:23
Don't believe everything you hear
on the radio.
:10:25
- Read the Inquirer.
- How were business conditions in Europe?
:10:29
How did I find business conditions
in Europe, Mr.Bones?
:10:33
With great difficulty.
:10:38
Are you glad to be back?
:10:39
I'm always glad to be back.
I'm an American.
:10:43
Always been an American. Anything else?
:10:45
When I was a reporter,

:10:49
What do you think
of the chances for war in Europe?
:10:51

of England, France, Germany and Italy.
:10:56
They're too intelligent
to embark on a project...
:10:58
...that would mean the end of civilization.
:11:01
You can take my word for it,
there will be no war.

...and the great yellow journalist himself
lived to be history...
:11:18
...outlived his power to make it.
:11:21
Alone in his never-finished,
already decaying pleasure palace...
:11:25
...aloof, seldom visited,
never photographed...
:11:29
...an emperor of newsprint
continued to direct his failing empire.
:11:34
Vainly attempted to sway, as he once did...
:11:37
...the destinies of a nation
that had ceased to listen to him...
:11:40
...ceased to trust him.
:11:44
Then last week, as it must to all men...
:11:49
...death came to Charles Foster Kane.
:11:52
News on the March.
:11:59
That's it.
