Steve,
1:01:05
you'll do what you want, but it can't hurt.
1:01:08
If he offers you an olive branch,
so today like olives.
1:01:13
Excuse me.
1:01:20
Steve, before we go in, could I...
1:01:26
Hi! Just in time.
JJ just finished up his rehearsal.
1:01:37
Looks like a wedding.
1:01:45
You look lovely, dear.
1:01:47
- Steve, you've met my brother?
- Of course.
1:01:50
Frank.
1:01:51
Looks like you went out and got
a packet of trouble for yourself.
1:01:55
You've been very kind about it.
1:01:57
Give Susie credit for that.
She said there was nothing to the smear.
1:02:01
As a matter of fact, I'll have plenty
to say about smears on my show today.
1:02:05
And that's why I'd...
Well, I'd like your personal assurance too.
1:02:09
Mr Hunsecker, there is nothing to
this smear. You have my sincere word.
1:02:13
I'll buy that. Now you do me a favour.
1:02:17
- Be good to my kid sister.
- Yeah. She's had a lotta trouble for a kid.
1:02:21
Susie has her girlish secrets,
but in her heart of hearts,
1:02:24
I imagine she fancies you
in an uncommon way.
1:02:28
Now how about you? Not just, uh...
1:02:30
Well, not just tomcatting around, I hope?
1:02:33
- JJ, Steve is not...
- Take it easy, Susie.
1:02:37
Steve wouldn't be much of a man
if he didn't understand my concern.
1:02:40
No, I wouldn't.
1:02:43
Serious as a deacon.
I like it. I like it fine.
1:02:46
In a world of old rags and bones, I like it.
1:02:50
Now, you take Sidney here.
1:02:53
If Sidney ever got anywhere near Susie,
1:02:56
I'd take a baseball bat
and break it over his head.
