Hear me out!
:52:04
Who is this Ransom Stoddard?
And what qualifications has he
:52:11
that entitle him to aspire
to such great office?
:52:16
We are told he's a lawyer,
an attorney at law,
:52:24
an officer of the court.
Yes, but what kind of lawyer?
:52:31
A man who usurps the function
of both judge and jury
:52:36
and takes the law into his own hand.
:52:48
Quiet! Quiet!
:52:53
What other qualifications
has he, then?
:52:57
The blood on his hands?
:53:00
The hidden gun beneath his coat?
:53:03
The bullet-riddled body
of an honest citizen?
:53:08
Honest citizen?! Liberty Valance?
:53:10
You fool! Liberty Valance,
an honest citizen?
:53:14
Is this your fearless champion
of law and order?
:53:18
- Mr. Chairman!
- The mark of Cain is on this man,
:53:23
and the mark of Cain
will be on all of us
:53:26
if we send him
with bloodstained hands
:53:30
to walk the hallowed
halls of government...
:53:33
- ..where Washington...
- Mr. Chairman!
:53:38
- Mr. Chairman!
- Order! Order!
:53:40
...yes, and Lincoln still live,
immortals in the memory of man.
:53:47
Mr. Chairman!
:53:58
Rance! Rance!
