GRAFF: David Merrill. Come in.
:20:18
GRAFF: I'm really glad you came.
Can I get you a drink?
:20:23
Zanuck said see you.
:20:25
But why this crummy place
and not your office?
:20:28
To protect you from rumor.
:20:31
I have conferences with my clients...
:20:33
...when we prepare to meet for
the House Un-American Activities Committee.
:20:37
Wait. Hold it. With who?
:20:40
Zanuck wants your name cleared
as soon as possible.
:20:43
Cleared of what?
:20:46
There's somebody here who can explain it all.
:20:50
Fine, let's talk to him.
:20:56
GRAFF: Ray, come on in.
:20:58
David Merrill. Ray Karlin.
:21:01
Mr. Merrill, welcome back.
:21:03
RAY: I'm glad to meet you.
:21:07
RAY: Sorry it's under these circumstances.
:21:09
I'll get to the point.
:21:13
RAY: You probably know that
you've been named a Communist sympathizer.
:21:18
Recently your name came up
as having attended Party meetings.
:21:22
Wait a minute. I'm no Communist.
:21:24
I went to a couple meetings
10 or 12 years ago. That's it.
:21:27
GRAFF: Yes, we know that.
:21:29
That's exactly our problem, David.
:21:32
Nobody wants to embarrass you.
:21:34
The Committee will give you
this opportunity...
:21:37
...to explain your past affiliations.
:21:39
I went to a few meetings. That's it.
:21:42
That's it.
:21:43
Your affiliations and others'.
:21:48
What others?
:21:49
In secret testimony.
:21:51
GRAFF: Secret testimony.
Listen to what he's saying.
:21:55
He assured us you'll be a friendly witness...
:21:58
...and purge yourself.
