:12:00
- That's right.
- Did you hear from counsel, Harris?
:12:02
- Of course he did.
- There was a rather odd communication.
:12:06
"As the Democratic candidate
for first selectman in Cape Anne...
:12:09
- "I'm asking for the endorsement"...
- Same as last year's letter.
:12:12
- I want you to go right to bed.
- I must have put the wrong letter...
:12:15
- in the right envelope.
- George, really.
:12:17
I apologise.
:12:19
Our station agent informs me that
you are a widow trying to support yourself...
:12:23
and your two children.
:12:24
Believe me, I'm speaking now
as one not unfamiliar...
:12:26
with the guiding spirit
of the Eastern & Portland Railroad.
:12:30
- Take this cheque.
- I will not.
:12:35
Including myself, the legal staff
of our organisation numbers 26 men.
:12:40
In the past year, thanks to the incandescent
personality of the man we serve...
:12:44
the E&P has been the defendant
in 314 litigations.
:12:48
Of those, we lost one.
:12:51
It involved an upper berth...
:12:53
an untimely addition
to the population of New Hampshire...
:12:55
and a recalcitrant conductor.
:12:58
You, as a lawyer at the bar,
I think, will agree with me...
:13:02
that a newly-born baby
weighs more heavily with a jury...
:13:05
than those crustaceans
your client is involved with.
:13:10
Will you excuse us for one moment?
:13:17
I think you should take the money.
:13:18
Did you hear what he said? They're big-time
lawyers. They got nothing to do...
:13:22
but go to court.
That's why they're paid. Take the money.
:13:25
George, why can't you...
:13:27
Gentlemen, I will not take the money.
I'm sorry, George.
:13:30
- Harris, are you licensed in this state?
- Yes, sir.
:13:33
Good, I'm taking the Limited
back to New York.
:13:35
Mrs. Osgood, I'm terribly sorry
we could not settle this matter amicably.
:13:39
Good evening.
:13:43
Good evening. See you in court.
:13:50
There goes $700.
:13:53
- You said you wouldn't take this.
- I know what I said.
:13:56
I know what you said.
:13:59
- Want some coffee?
- No, because I've got to go up to High River.
