"Wall Street backs copper swindle."
:24:07
"Copper robbers indicted."
:24:09
"Galleons of Spain off Jersey Coast."
:24:12
Is that really your idea
of how to run a newspaper?
:24:15
I don't know how to run a newspaper.
I try everything I can think of.
:24:18
You know there's not
the slightest proof this...
:24:21
- ...Armada's off the Jersey Coast.
- Hello, Mr.Bernstein.
:24:24
Can you prove it isn't?
:24:26
Mr.Bernstein,
I'd like you to meet Mr.Thatcher.
:24:29
- Mr.Leland.
- Hello.
:24:31
Mr.Thatcher, my ex-guardian.
:24:32
We have no secrets from our readers.
Thatcher is one of our devoted readers.
:24:38
He knows what's wrong with every copy
of the Inquirer since I took over. Read.
:24:42
"Girls delightful in Cuba. Stop.
Could send you prose poems...
:24:45
"...about scenery but don't feel right
spending your money. Stop.
:24:49
"There is no war in Cuba."
Signed "Wheeler." Any answer?
:24:52
Yes. Dear Wheeler: You provide
the prose poems, I'll provide the war.
:24:56
- That's fine.
- I like it myself. Send it right away.
:24:59
I came to see you
about this campaign of yours.
:25:01
The Inquirer's campaign against
the Public Transit Company.
:25:04
Do you know anything
we can use against them?
:25:07
You're still the college boy, eh?
:25:08
I was expelled from college, a lot
of colleges, you remember? I remember.
:25:13
I think I should remind you of a fact
you have forgotten.
:25:16
You're one of the largest stockholders
in the Public Transit Company.
:25:20
The trouble is, you don't realize
you're talking to two people.
:25:23
As Charles Foster Kane
who owns 82,364 shares...
:25:26
...of Public Transit Preferred. See,
I do have a general idea of my holdings.
:25:30
I sympathize with you.
Kane is a scoundrel...
:25:33
...his paper should be closed,
a committee formed to boycott him.
:25:36
If you can form such a committee,
put me down for a contribution of $1,000.
:25:40
On the other hand,
I am the publisher of the Inquirer.
:25:43
As such it's my duty, I'll let you in
on a little secret. It is also my pleasure...
:25:47
...to see that the working people of this
community aren't robbed by a pack...
:25:52
...of money-mad pirates, just because...
:25:55
...they have no one
to look after their interests.
:25:58
I'll let you in on another little secret,
Mr.Thatcher:
