I guess I've been around
sanctimonious folks too long.

:31:07
You're amusing,
and you smell like a real man.

:31:12
Yes, I'll meet you by my tent.
That's where I breakfast. Good night.

:31:15
- Oh, but, Sister...
- Oh, this time I mean it.

:31:20
Pleasant dreams.
:31:25
Evening, Brother Morgan. Oh, I wouldn't
bother her now. She's resting, poor child.

:31:37
The wind will come from there, so keep
the centre poles where you've got them.

:31:43
That way the canvas won't snap
and crackle all through the sermon.

:31:47
Here they come.
:31:51
Morning, Sister! Jim boy!
A lovely morning it is.

:31:53
- Good morning.
- I woke with a terrific idea.

:31:56
Later. Good morning, Captain.
:31:58
- You can't erect that tent here, ma'am.
- Why not?

:32:01
- Fire laws.
- Nonsense.

:32:03
No, ma'am. No nonsense
at all. No, ma'am.

:32:05
"Ma'am" is a contraction for "madam".
I am not a madam,

:32:08
a calibre of woman I'm sure you
know well and do business with.

:32:12
How many have been put out
of business by fire laws?

:32:14
- Your tent holds over 1,000 people...
- Captain, this is Mr Lefferts,

:32:18
- a reporter for the Zenith Times-DisPatch
- Zenith? Welcome. This is Fire Chief...

:32:22
Isn't it a fact, Mr Lefferts, that the whisky
big shots want me closed down?

:32:26
They certainly don't think
you do their business any good.

:32:29
Know why? I'm not afraid to fight whisky
and repeal with police help or without it.

:32:34
- If you're accusing me of not...
- I am. Do you enforce Prohibition?

:32:38
I certainly do.
:32:39
How many speakeasies could you
take the captain to in his home town?

:32:42
- Without a membership card? 50.
- Fire laws!

:32:46
Do you see any of my workmen smoking?
:32:48
Do you mind? This might start a fire.
:32:51
- If they don't smoke inside...
- You're welcome to see tonight.

:32:54
A little bit of salvation
will do you both some good.
