10 dollars a month.
1:23:04
I consider that quite a generous offer
under the circumstances.
1:23:08
Frankly, it's more than I would
have offered, had I the authority.
1:23:16
Well, Stroud?
1:23:22
Let me see if I understand you.
1:23:25
You're proposing that the US government
go into the canary-bird business.
1:23:31
That's against private enterprise.
1:23:34
You sound like a Bolshevik, Harvey.
1:23:36
- You have no legal right to raise canaries.
- I know.
1:23:39
Rule 60 of the Federal Bureau of Prisons
Manual: "An inmate cannot be permitted
1:23:43
to operate a business, no matter
how legitimate, while in prison."
1:23:47
- That right?
- You quoted it correctly.
1:23:49
That's what I thought.
1:23:51
That's why I'm confused.
1:23:54
The rule says I can't have a business.
1:23:57
You say I can, provided
I give you the profits.
1:24:01
That's circumventing regulations.
It's not like you.
1:24:05
Mr Shoemaker came to try to work out
a plan so you can keep your blasted birds.
1:24:10
Don't con an old con, Warden.
1:24:13
He came because of public opinion,
and you know it.
1:24:15
50,000 signatures on a petition.
1:24:18
Congressmen jumping
all over MacLeod's back.
1:24:24
I think I got you over a barrel, Harvey.
1:24:29
Is that your last word?
1:24:31
I could use more room.
1:24:34
For my birds.
1:24:38
I'll report the minutes
of our conference to Mr MacLeod.
1:24:44
That's all, Comstock.
1:24:55
Have a nice trip back to Washington.
1:24:58
I'm not going back to Washington.
