:42:00
Dad. Where are we going?
Now, now.

:42:03
The lobby's full of
reporters and cameramen,

:42:04
and they like to know
if they can come up.

:42:06
Well, you just tell them
to go away.

:42:09
Tell them I've left town.
:42:10
I never want to see Boston again.
I'll just go some place else.

:42:14
Wrong. You'll swim here.
As far as I'm concern,

:42:16
this is the greatest thing
that has ever happened.

:42:19
The greatest...
I'm booked and fingerprinted

:42:22
and arrested just like a con...
What others.

:42:24
Don't you realize
you're the standard bearer

:42:26
of all American womanhood?
:42:27
In your hands lies the power
:42:28
the wreck
the shutter of puritanry.

:42:30
Free the feminine sex
and the aura of convention.

:42:32
Go ahead, run away if you want.
:42:34
But I tell you,
this is more than a trial,

:42:35
more than a newspaper headline.
:42:37
This is a crusade.
:42:38
Bravo.
:42:41
I said bravo.
:42:43
This tempest over a bathing suit,
it's... it's really evil.

:42:47
It should be
exposed to the world.

:42:48
Well, I for one,
intends to see that

:42:49
my daughter stays
and fights this thing through.

:42:52
Here. Here. That a boy, Pop.
:42:54
It's high time the American women
show what they have in skin.

:42:57
It's up to you, darling.
:42:58
You can pay the fine
and leave Boston tonight

:43:00
or you can stay and accept
the challenge.

:43:04
Indecent.
Tell those reporters to come up.

:43:09
I'll give them a story,
bathing suit and all.

:43:39
And as prosecutor
for this county,

:43:41
I demand
the severest possible penalty

:43:43
for this brazen young woman
:43:45
who has wantonly flaunted
every statute of decency.

:43:48
She and the others like her
must learn that

:43:50
laws are made to be observed.
:43:52
Her guilt is uncontestable.
:43:54
She admits that she wore
the indecent garment in question.

:43:57
I admit no such thing.
What's that?
