Her gains are ill-gotten,
1:12:05
But, l offer no excuses - save one,
1:12:12
We men have each pledged
one half of our share of the booty

1:12:17
to a charitable institution,
1:12:19
ln compensation for the use of your home,
1:12:21
we had planned to donate a full share
to Bob Jones University,

1:12:28
without burdening you with guilty
knowledge by informing you of same,

1:12:33
But now you have wrested
the information from me,

1:12:37
There you have it,
lt is on your table, Mrs, Munson,

1:12:40
The ''awful truth,''
1:12:44
- Stolen money,
- But find the victim, Mrs, Munson,

1:12:49
l challenge you, Even the casino itself,
that riparian Gomorrah,

1:12:53
shall suffer no harm,
1:12:55
lt has an insurance company,
1:12:58
A financial behemoth that will
cheerfully replenish its depleted vaults,

1:13:04
That is its function,
1:13:05
And that insurance company has tens
and tens of thousands of policyholders,

1:13:11
So that,,, We have done the calculations,
Mrs, Munson,

1:13:13
So that at the end of the day,
at the final reckoning,

1:13:16
each and every one of those policyholders
shall have contributed one penny,

1:13:22
One, single, solitary cent
to the satisfaction of this claim,

1:13:28
- One penny?
- One penny, Think of it, Mrs, Munson,

1:13:32
One penny from those thousands
upon thousands of people

1:13:37
so that Bob Jones University
can continue on its mission,

1:13:44
Why, l have no doubt that,
were those policy holders made aware

1:13:46
of the existence of that august institution,
each and every one of them

1:13:50
would have volunteered some token
amount for the furtherance of its aims,

1:13:55
Well, that's prob'ly true,
1:13:57
Sadly, the criminal stain
is upon my soul,
