:52:00
I say to the judge
"I didn't murder the man",
:52:03
but the judge says to me "Why not you? "
:52:05
There's only two men who
could be responsible for that smear:
:52:08
you or Hunsecker, or both.
:52:10
Hunsecker and Elwell
are enemies to the knife.
:52:13
- How do you get him doing JJ a favour?
- It is a favour, isn't it?
:52:17
Dallas, your mouth is as big
as a basket and twice as empty.
:52:20
I don't like you, period.
:52:23
But neither do I agree with the column,
:52:25
that you smoke marijuana
and belong with the Reds.
:52:28
Also, since we're talking repulsive,
JJ won't like this for two cents.
:52:32
Don't gimme that look, Dallas.
JJ believes in fair play.
:52:35
And this could splatter his sister
with rotten egg by implication.
:52:39
- You're the boyfriend.
- You're talking very fast.
:52:42
I'll tell you what! Excuse me for breathing.
How do you like this two-bit banjo player!
:52:47
- He comes into my office...
- Look!
:52:49
- Wise guys...
- Boys, boys. This gets nobody nowhere.
:52:52
- You're overexcited.
- Don't apologise for me.
:52:55
And with good reason, I wanted to say.
:52:57
This endangers the future of the Quintet.
:52:59
- Should I cry?
- People catch on quick to such an item.
:53:02
Van Cleve already called me.
He's firing the Quintet.
:53:05
So why are you here?
Go over there and fight.
:53:08
Look, if Van Cleve fires your boy,
that'll give that lie a ring of truth.
:53:11
I wanna speak
to Miss Hunsecker, please.
:53:16
- Hello?
- Susie, this is Steve.
:53:19
Don't be alarmed, but I want you to look
at Elwell's column in the Record. Today.
:53:24
No, it's about me. A smear.
:53:28
A smear? What kind of a smear?
Where are you?
:53:32
On our way to the Elysian to dicker
with Van Cleve. He's fired us already.
:53:37
Look, I'll call you later, dear.
:53:39
Goodbye.
:53:43
Come on, Frank.
:53:57
If I told Steve what I really think,
he'd tear your head off.
