: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.
:22:01
Purge myself?.
:22:03
For going to a few meetings?
:22:07
RAY: We want to know
if you know these people.
:22:12
RAY: ''Sterling Hayden.''
:22:16
I know Sterling very well.
:22:21
RAY: ''Howard DeSilva.''
:22:26
Howard DeSilva?
:22:28
I don't know him.
:22:31
''Lionel Stander.''
:22:35
I know him.
:22:36
RAY: ''Elizabeth Cummings.''
:22:38
I've met her a few times.
:22:41
And ''Robert Baxter.''
:22:46
Bunny Baxter?
:22:48
I've known him since we were kids.
You can't be serious.
:22:52
We want you to testify as to their membership
in the Communist Party.
:22:55
I don't know about the others,
but Bunny Baxter is not a Communist.
:22:59
That's for the Committee to determine.
