- You're picking up my lingo, honey.
- I read your column every day.
:58:11
I like this crisp, new attitude of yours.
You're growing up, and I like it.
:58:15
I don't like it when you're limp
and dependent, or odd and wayward.
:58:20
This Dallas boy must be good for you.
:58:22
Bring him around today, before the show.
I'll clean my glasses for a better look.
:58:27
Let me have Billy Van Cleve.
:58:32
Don't ever tell anyone
how I'm tied to your apron strings.
:58:36
Billy? JJ Hunsecker.
:58:39
Now what about this Dallas boy?
:59:01
"A man has a right to face his accuser.
That's the American way. The man said."
:59:05
Don't hang around. If I run over,
I'll cut some items off the tail.
:59:09
"From Washington through Jefferson,
from Lincoln and FDR,
:59:12
right up to today,
the democratic way of life."
:59:15
"That's what the man said.
Nowadays, it doesn't export too well."
:59:19
"But you know and I know that our best
secret weapon is d-e-m-o-c-r-a-c-y."
:59:24
That's grand. Just grand, JJ.
:59:29
- Is my make-up all right? Despite the...
- It's fine, it's fine.
:59:32
Mary, take care of Miss Tam. Anything
she wants. She's our star today.
:59:43
I got that boy coming here today.
If I can trust my eyes, and I think I can,
:59:47
Susie knows all about your dirty work.
:59:50
Can't hurt.
:59:52
"Can't hurt"? I had to get
that boy his job back.
:59:56
Look, JJ. We can tie this off
into one neat bundle.
