: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.
:54:01
- Tell him.
- No.
:54:03
I'm interested in his future.
:54:11
- What's the matter with you?
- Nothing.
:54:19
Sally, I sometimes get the impression
you think you live in Star Bright Park.
:54:24
This is life. Get used to it.
:54:39
:54:43
- Yes.
- JJ, I presume you saw the Elwell smear.
:54:47
No. No medals. Not yet.
:54:50
It's a lot worse than that.
:54:53
Aunty Van Cleve is firing 'em.
:54:56
I got it from the horse's mouth.
They were just here in a panic.
