:17:00
People like this are a menace
to decent society.
:17:02
You're from a broken home of course?
:17:05
Yeah, it was broke. So what?
:17:07
You have a history of juvenile arrests,
I presume?
:17:10
Drug abuse, reform school,
state prisons and all that-
:17:13
I want a lawyer.
Is there a lawyer in the house?
:17:23
That man is a product
of a poor environment.
:17:26
There's nothing wrong with him,
I can prove it.
:17:29
Of course there's
something wrong with him...
:17:32
He's a Negro!
:17:35
He's probably been stealing
since he could crawl.
:17:51
Given the right
surroundings and encouragement,
:17:55
I'll bet that that man could run
our company as well as Winthorpe.
:18:00
Are we talking about a wager, Randolph?
:18:05
I suppose you think Winthorpe...
say if he were to lose his job,
:18:08
would resort
to holding up people on the streets.
:18:11
No, I don't think that
would be enough for Winthorpe.
:18:15
We'd have to heap a little more
misfortune on those narrow shoulders.
:18:21
If he lost his job and his home
:18:23
and his fiancée and his friends.
:18:26
If he were somehow disgraced
and arrested by the police
:18:30
and thrown in jail, even.
:18:33
Yes, I'm sure he'd take to crime
like a fish to water.
:18:37
You'd have to put him in the wrong
surroundings, with the worst sort of people.
:18:42
I mean real scum, Randolph.
:18:46
We've done it before.
:18:48
This time it's in a good cause.
:18:51
How much do you want to bet?
:18:53
- The usual amount.
- Why not?
