:45:00
This is horrible.
This is just horrible.
:45:03
But I gave Mr. Shrader
and Mr. Rich all the facts.
:45:06
Yes, I know!
They told me.
:45:09
Some cockamamie story
about you chasing a bird...
:45:12
all through some
South American jungle.
:45:15
Even if it were true, even if I
believed it, I'd be laughed out of court.
:45:20
You'd have wound up in jail.
Abner, you can't do this to us!
:45:22
You can't do this to the cause
of Constitutional liberty!
:45:26
But all I want is to go back
and publish my bird magazine!
:45:29
Ha-ha! Bird magazine!
:45:31
Abner, don't you realize...
:45:35
that people all over the world
have fought for you?
:45:38
They've had their heads broken,
been thrown into jail...
:45:40
for your right to publish
a filthy magazine?
:45:44
I'm sorry, but I just can't
publish a dirty magazine.
:45:47
You've got to prove to the world
just how free our press is!
:45:50
B-But I wouldn't know the first
thing about publishing filth.
:45:54
You're young!
You can learn.
:45:56
Abner is a clean,
decent human being.
:45:59
Just when our country needs
a dirty little degenerate,
:46:02
we're stuck with a clean,
decent human being!
:46:08
It's Attorney General Snow!
:46:13
Your good name! What about the
good name of your country...
:46:16
with the world
watching a jury...
:46:19
reaffirm your Constitutional
right to publish filth?
:46:22
So what happens?
:46:24
You come out with some namby-pamby
magazine about the birds and flowers!
:46:29
Just birds. The flowers is a
field. We never went into it.
:46:32
Abner Peacock,
:46:34
if you love your country, you'll
publish a filthy magazine.
:46:43
Abner! I heard all about it. Uncle Amos.!
:46:46
Don't worry, I'm not gonna
publish any dirty magazine.
:46:49
Don't you ever think
of anybody but yourself?
:46:52
Your associate has been
kind enough to explain...
:46:55
that there are millions
to be made;
:46:58
that an important financier is backing
the magazine with hundreds of thousands.!
