1
00:00:56,639 --> 00:00:59,403
LANE: There's a Flamingo Road
in every town.
2
00:00:59,476 --> 00:01:03,913
It is the street of social success,
the avenue of achievement,
3
00:01:03,980 --> 00:01:08,280
the golden goal for all who struggle
and aspire to reach the top
4
00:01:08,351 --> 00:01:12,515
and sometimes find that from the top,
there's no other place to go.
5
00:01:13,456 --> 00:01:15,048
And so, in Boldon City,
6
00:01:15,125 --> 00:01:17,719
a small town with people of big dreams,
7
00:01:17,794 --> 00:01:21,389
their Flamingo Road had
touched them all with ambition.
8
00:01:21,464 --> 00:01:25,093
The political factions who killed flies
on the porch of the Palmer House,
9
00:01:25,902 --> 00:01:28,769
the big timers who killed care
at Lute Mae's,
10
00:01:28,938 --> 00:01:33,136
a place that had been called many things,
most recently a road house,
11
00:01:33,777 --> 00:01:36,746
the Tony Night Club set
who sip champagne,
12
00:01:36,813 --> 00:01:39,646
the gang at Pete's cafe
who dunk doughnuts,
13
00:01:40,283 --> 00:01:42,945
even the gaudy show folks
with Coyne's Carnival
14
00:01:43,019 --> 00:01:46,420
who once a year set up their tents
on the wrong side of the tracks.
15
00:01:46,489 --> 00:01:47,581
BARKER 1:corners of the Earth!
16
00:01:47,657 --> 00:01:51,753
We have none other than Bonnieta,
300 pounds of loving.
17
00:01:51,828 --> 00:01:55,491
She shakes and shimmies like the jelly
on your grandmother's table.
18
00:01:55,565 --> 00:01:56,623
Also, on the inside...
19
00:01:56,699 --> 00:01:57,791
BARKER 2: You won't see it again
for another year.
20
00:01:57,867 --> 00:02:00,267
Only in town once a year, folks!
21
00:02:00,336 --> 00:02:03,999
All right, then! Glad to see you.
Hey, hey! Hey, hey! Come in!
22
00:02:04,073 --> 00:02:05,734
Come in, folks, come in!
23
00:02:05,809 --> 00:02:07,276
BARKER 1: Hurry, hurry, hurry!
The big-time show.
24
00:02:07,343 --> 00:02:11,803
The biggest show on wheels!
Twelve cars of outstanding attractions
25
00:02:11,881 --> 00:02:14,213
brought to you
from the four corners of the Earth.
26
00:02:14,284 --> 00:02:15,444
BARKER 3: Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
27
00:02:15,518 --> 00:02:18,954
Hurry, hurry!
Right this way for that featured attraction.
28
00:02:19,022 --> 00:02:22,890
Those masked beauties of
the Sultan's harem, in exotic, tantalizing,
29
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:26,725
captivating dances of the Far East
as you've always wanted to see them.
30
00:02:26,796 --> 00:02:30,596
It's spicy! It's daring!
It's a thing to take your breath away!
31
00:02:30,667 --> 00:02:33,693
A dance to make the old men young
and the young men old!
32
00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:34,964
A dance, gentlemen, which is a replica,
33
00:02:35,038 --> 00:02:36,062
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
34
00:02:36,139 --> 00:02:37,197
An exact replica of the dance
35
00:02:37,273 --> 00:02:38,968
that you would expect to see
in the Far East.
36
00:02:39,042 --> 00:02:42,205
I can see that you're all men of the world,
traveled and sophisticated.
37
00:02:42,278 --> 00:02:44,371
But you, gentlemen,
I'm sure each and every one of you
38
00:02:44,447 --> 00:02:47,541
will understand and appreciate
the unveiled beauty which will be yours
39
00:02:47,617 --> 00:02:50,882
for the small price of 10 cents, one dime,
the tenth part of a dollar!
40
00:02:50,954 --> 00:02:53,684
Every year you've been telling me
the same thing.
41
00:02:53,756 --> 00:02:56,953
"Next season will be better." But it ain't.
Now I want my money.
42
00:02:57,026 --> 00:03:00,154
Rent for the carnival lot, the light bills,
and the money I loaned you two years ago.
43
00:03:00,230 --> 00:03:03,199
But, sir, I just don't have
the necessary funds at the moment.
44
00:03:03,266 --> 00:03:05,700
Things in the entertainment world
are at a low ebb, sir.
45
00:03:05,768 --> 00:03:08,498
Yes, sir, the tide is sure enough out.
46
00:03:08,571 --> 00:03:11,233
Now, sir, if you'll just give me
a little bit more time, I...
47
00:03:11,307 --> 00:03:14,970
All the time I'm gonna give you is
the time that it takes me to go uptown,
48
00:03:15,044 --> 00:03:18,411
get an attachment against your show
and find the sheriff to serve the papers.
49
00:03:18,481 --> 00:03:21,746
I'm gonna take your show.
That's what I'm gonna do.
50
00:03:23,453 --> 00:03:26,422
The young ladies will unveil briefly,
the box office will open
51
00:03:26,489 --> 00:03:28,923
and the big show will continue
on the inside.
52
00:03:28,992 --> 00:03:30,220
And, now, ladies and gentlemen,
53
00:03:30,293 --> 00:03:32,625
if you'll be kind enough
to step up to the box office,
54
00:03:32,695 --> 00:03:36,791
the young lady will oblige you by
selling you the ticket and the big show...
55
00:03:38,668 --> 00:03:41,296
COYNE: Hurry it up, girls.
We're folding the show!
56
00:03:41,371 --> 00:03:42,429
Not again, Tom!
57
00:03:42,505 --> 00:03:44,473
COYNE: Get out of those costumes.
Get going, girls.
58
00:03:44,540 --> 00:03:45,564
Here we go again, kids.
59
00:03:45,642 --> 00:03:48,839
Run, run, run. What do they think we are?
Three blind mice?
60
00:03:48,912 --> 00:03:50,277
Tell them to strike the canvas
and get loaded.
61
00:03:50,346 --> 00:03:53,645
We got to beat an attachment
across the state line!
62
00:03:53,716 --> 00:03:57,152
Get yourself together, girls.
The sheriff's breathing down our necks.
63
00:04:10,066 --> 00:04:12,057
POSTMAN: Hello, there, Sheriff!
64
00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:18,840
Hi, Sheriff Semple, sir!
65
00:04:19,943 --> 00:04:21,171
(GROANS)
66
00:04:22,512 --> 00:04:24,343
- Boatright!
- Yes, sir.
67
00:04:27,050 --> 00:04:30,417
- Boatright, where's my other chair at?
- Goodness, Sheriff, if it ain't...
68
00:04:30,486 --> 00:04:33,922
I remember once before
I didn't have me a chair for my hat.
69
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:36,356
It dropped to the floor.
I had to pick it up myself.
70
00:04:36,426 --> 00:04:37,450
Yes, sir.
71
00:04:37,527 --> 00:04:38,994
- Boatright?
- Yes, sir?
72
00:04:39,062 --> 00:04:41,530
Whatever happened to that other boy?
73
00:04:41,597 --> 00:04:44,760
I don't know.
I guess maybe he's still in jail.
74
00:04:46,869 --> 00:04:48,700
Here we are, Sheriff.
75
00:04:49,105 --> 00:04:51,164
Yes, everything's gonna be all right now.
76
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,641
Yes, sir.
Everything's gonna be all right now.
77
00:05:06,823 --> 00:05:09,485
- You want to see me, Sheriff?
- What have you been doing, bub?
78
00:05:09,559 --> 00:05:10,753
Fishing.
79
00:05:11,461 --> 00:05:15,761
I didn't figure you'd be fool enough
to do any work on the county time.
80
00:05:15,832 --> 00:05:19,529
Well, if I felt like I was getting someplace
I wouldn't mind doing a day's work.
81
00:05:19,602 --> 00:05:22,298
The county pays me little enough,
but I don't even earn that.
82
00:05:22,372 --> 00:05:26,604
There are plenty of folks in this county
who would do less for a lot more.
83
00:05:26,809 --> 00:05:29,573
When I gave you this job,
I told you to let me do the worrying.
84
00:05:29,645 --> 00:05:31,806
Well, it's kind of hard
not to do your own worrying.
85
00:05:31,881 --> 00:05:35,112
I got plans for you, bub.
Long-range plans.
86
00:05:35,651 --> 00:05:38,347
Deputy sheriff is just a good starter.
87
00:05:38,421 --> 00:05:41,652
A man can make a heap of friends
being deputy sheriff.
88
00:05:41,724 --> 00:05:44,818
Of course, he can make enemies, too,
but that's politics.
89
00:05:44,894 --> 00:05:49,263
You just got to be sure that you make
more friends than you do enemies.
90
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,366
I want you to run out to that carnival show
that's playing across the tracks.
91
00:05:54,437 --> 00:05:57,634
Mark Lanright has got
an attachment against them.
92
00:05:59,342 --> 00:06:01,867
- Field!
- Hi!
93
00:06:02,145 --> 00:06:05,308
I've been chasing you
for the past 10 miles.
94
00:06:05,381 --> 00:06:06,370
Hello, Sheriff.
95
00:06:06,449 --> 00:06:09,646
- You're gonna have to get a faster car.
- Evening, Miss Annabelle.
96
00:06:09,719 --> 00:06:13,746
Don't keep the lady waiting, bub.
And don't forget to serve these papers.
97
00:06:18,628 --> 00:06:20,118
Hi, Annabelle.
98
00:06:20,530 --> 00:06:22,930
Field Carlisle,
I shouldn't even speak to you.
99
00:06:22,999 --> 00:06:25,331
You promised to play tennis with me
yesterday afternoon.
100
00:06:25,401 --> 00:06:26,993
Well, I'm a busy man.
101
00:06:27,070 --> 00:06:29,766
The duties of a deputy sheriff
don't allow much time for tennis.
102
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,706
Papa says that deputy sheriff job
is just ridiculous,
103
00:06:32,775 --> 00:06:34,766
that you should have finished law school
and then you'd be...
104
00:06:34,844 --> 00:06:37,745
- Respectable.
- Well, that's what Papa says.
105
00:06:37,814 --> 00:06:40,476
You know, your papa can say
almost anything he wants to
106
00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:42,017
and people listen to him.
107
00:06:42,085 --> 00:06:44,883
The trouble with you is
you just don't want to improve yourself.
108
00:06:44,954 --> 00:06:48,754
Look at that outlandish cowboy hat.
Why don't you wear something dignified?
109
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:53,262
- I reckon I'm used to it.
- Used to it? I don't understand you, Field.
110
00:06:53,329 --> 00:06:55,388
How can you be so stubborn
about some things
111
00:06:55,465 --> 00:06:58,298
and so easygoing about everything else?
112
00:06:58,367 --> 00:06:59,959
You know, you look awful pretty today.
113
00:07:00,036 --> 00:07:02,163
I've got a good mind
to give you a great big kiss.
114
00:07:02,238 --> 00:07:06,106
Right here in the middle of the street?
Really! You get the craziest notions.
115
00:07:06,175 --> 00:07:10,407
Isn't that the truth? Well,
I got to go do something official. Bye.
116
00:07:10,746 --> 00:07:15,979
Papa says to invite you to dinner tonight.
And don't you dare stand me up.
117
00:07:53,823 --> 00:07:58,123
(IF I COULD BE WITH YOU
(ONE HOUR TONIGHT) PLAYING)
118
00:08:11,474 --> 00:08:15,467
(HUMMING)
119
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,112
(SINGING) If I could be with you
I'd love you strong
120
00:08:23,186 --> 00:08:27,555
I want you to know that I wouldn't go
121
00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:29,116
Until...
122
00:08:32,662 --> 00:08:34,630
What are you doing here?
123
00:08:34,697 --> 00:08:37,689
Getting up a parade.
You're just in time. Who are you?
124
00:08:37,767 --> 00:08:39,098
Deputy sheriff.
125
00:08:39,168 --> 00:08:40,396
Oh.
126
00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:42,232
Well, then you're not in time.
127
00:08:42,305 --> 00:08:46,708
Yeah. I could figure that looking over
the lot. They must have left in a hurry.
128
00:08:46,776 --> 00:08:49,472
- Did they forget you?
- No.
129
00:08:50,246 --> 00:08:52,407
Why didn't you go with them?
130
00:08:55,618 --> 00:08:57,051
Look, if you want to throw
your weight around,
131
00:08:57,119 --> 00:08:59,144
why don't you go outside
where there's plenty of room?
132
00:08:59,222 --> 00:09:01,213
I'm just being mildly official.
133
00:09:01,757 --> 00:09:04,248
You don't look much like a sheriff.
134
00:09:04,627 --> 00:09:07,790
You look more like Buffalo Bill
with that hat on.
135
00:09:10,299 --> 00:09:12,199
Look, all sheriffs got to wear
this kind of hat,
136
00:09:12,268 --> 00:09:15,431
otherwise people wouldn't know
they were the law.
137
00:09:17,707 --> 00:09:19,675
Why didn't you go with the others?
138
00:09:19,742 --> 00:09:22,438
They weren't going anywhere.
They were just running.
139
00:09:22,511 --> 00:09:24,672
If it isn't this town, it's another.
140
00:09:24,747 --> 00:09:27,944
Besides, I got tired of being
on the wrong end of a rabbit hunt.
141
00:09:28,017 --> 00:09:30,747
- Doesn't make sense.
- It does to me.
142
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,353
Well, look, you can't stay here alone
in a tent.
143
00:09:34,423 --> 00:09:35,788
What you gonna do?
144
00:09:35,858 --> 00:09:38,326
Well, I could pan for gold or something.
145
00:09:38,394 --> 00:09:39,918
(LAUGHS)
146
00:09:39,996 --> 00:09:44,695
- What's your name?
- Lane. Lane Bellamy. Thanks.
147
00:09:44,767 --> 00:09:46,962
Lane? That's a funny name for a girl.
148
00:09:47,036 --> 00:09:48,799
I suppose it was something fancy
like Elaine,
149
00:09:48,871 --> 00:09:50,498
but nobody ever bothered
to call me anything but...
150
00:09:50,573 --> 00:09:54,475
- What's yours?
- Field. Field Carlisle.
151
00:09:55,544 --> 00:09:57,569
That's a funny name for a man.
152
00:09:57,647 --> 00:09:59,512
Well, it's really Fielding.
153
00:09:59,582 --> 00:10:03,643
Look, you couldn't go away and forget
I was here for the night, could you?
154
00:10:03,719 --> 00:10:07,985
I could sleep here and then tomorrow
figure out something to do.
155
00:10:08,190 --> 00:10:11,057
- How about it?
- Have you got any money?
156
00:10:11,127 --> 00:10:14,528
- Sure, I've got three dollars.
- It isn't very much.
157
00:10:14,597 --> 00:10:18,727
That's a lot when you think of how
many times I didn't have three dollars.
158
00:10:19,468 --> 00:10:21,732
What'd you do in the carnival?
159
00:10:23,706 --> 00:10:25,173
Well, sometimes I was Seminole Annie,
160
00:10:25,241 --> 00:10:28,506
then again I was Princess Kalina,
siren of the Pacific.
161
00:10:28,577 --> 00:10:32,240
Lately, I've been one of the Sultan's
favorite dancing girls.
162
00:10:32,315 --> 00:10:35,978
But most of the times,
I was just a little tired and dirty.
163
00:10:36,052 --> 00:10:39,613
Sick of moldy tents and one-night stands
and greasy food.
164
00:10:41,957 --> 00:10:45,188
Sick of having people look at me
like I was cheap.
165
00:10:45,261 --> 00:10:48,230
Look, why don't you come uptown
with me and get some supper?
166
00:10:48,297 --> 00:10:51,266
Maybe we can figure out
what to do about you.
167
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,160
You wouldn't have anything personal
in mind, would you?
168
00:10:54,236 --> 00:10:57,171
Nothing. I just don't like to eat by myself.
169
00:11:00,376 --> 00:11:03,675
I wouldn't have to go like this.
I've got better clothes.
170
00:11:04,947 --> 00:11:07,347
- You sure you want me to go?
- Sure.
171
00:11:07,416 --> 00:11:12,046
There's an attachment on this show.
Right now you're the only tangible asset.
172
00:11:12,121 --> 00:11:14,112
I won't be but a minute.
173
00:11:17,159 --> 00:11:20,720
- Maybe I'd better wait outside.
- No, you don't have to if you don't want...
174
00:11:20,796 --> 00:11:23,890
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, Sheriff.
175
00:11:24,467 --> 00:11:27,493
- I guess I had you figured all wrong.
- Why?
176
00:11:27,570 --> 00:11:28,867
You really meant that, didn't you?
177
00:11:28,938 --> 00:11:31,839
About taking me uptown
for something to eat?
178
00:11:33,008 --> 00:11:36,068
No bargains?
No "I'll do this if you'll do that?"
179
00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:38,972
No hot breath down my neck?
180
00:11:43,786 --> 00:11:44,775
Better?
181
00:11:44,854 --> 00:11:46,549
- A lot.
- Good.
182
00:11:46,622 --> 00:11:50,388
You know something?
You're too pretty to be alone in Boldon.
183
00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:58,127
LANE: I've been in lots worse towns.
Took pretty good care of myself, too.
184
00:11:58,567 --> 00:12:01,832
FIELD: I'll bet you did at that. Let's go.
LANE: All right.
185
00:12:21,290 --> 00:12:23,258
Here, take this inside
and cut them up, will you?
186
00:12:23,325 --> 00:12:24,417
Right away. Cut them up.
187
00:12:24,493 --> 00:12:25,517
- JOE: Hello, Sheriff.
- Evening, Joe.
188
00:12:25,594 --> 00:12:27,391
- PETE: Well, how are you, Field?
- Hi, Pete.
189
00:12:27,463 --> 00:12:28,862
One hamburger, hold sauce.
190
00:12:28,931 --> 00:12:31,991
Hey, bring me some more pie
and another pitcher of milk.
191
00:12:32,067 --> 00:12:35,400
- Coming right up.
- PETE: How's everything? How's the soup?
192
00:12:36,305 --> 00:12:38,000
- MILLIE: Hi, Field.
- Hello, Millie.
193
00:12:38,073 --> 00:12:40,633
- How's the Blue Plate?
- You couldn't do worse.
194
00:12:40,709 --> 00:12:43,337
- You're out late tonight.
- Rabbit hunting.
195
00:12:43,412 --> 00:12:45,346
Must use quite a snare.
196
00:12:46,315 --> 00:12:47,839
Millie, this is Lane Bellamy.
197
00:12:47,917 --> 00:12:49,316
- Hi.
- Hello.
198
00:12:49,518 --> 00:12:52,783
- You're gonna have the Blue Plate, too?
- Well, if it's no worse than you say it is.
199
00:12:52,855 --> 00:12:56,450
(LAUGHS) It couldn't be.
Don't eat the soup, it's awful.
200
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,518
Two Blue Plates!
201
00:12:59,595 --> 00:13:01,426
WAITRESS: Well, here we are.
202
00:13:03,532 --> 00:13:07,093
- Well, aren't you gonna ask me?
- What? The story of your life?
203
00:13:07,169 --> 00:13:09,364
I figure that's the least you're entitled to.
204
00:13:09,438 --> 00:13:11,736
You know, I'd almost forgotten
I didn't know you.
205
00:13:11,807 --> 00:13:15,573
There didn't seem to be anything for me
to be curious about.
206
00:13:16,846 --> 00:13:19,110
You said that as though you meant it.
207
00:13:20,916 --> 00:13:24,010
I hope this won't spoil
a beautiful friendship.
208
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,886
If you want anything else, just yell.
Everybody else does.
209
00:13:26,956 --> 00:13:28,890
- FIELD: You're a good girl.
- Good and ready.
210
00:13:28,958 --> 00:13:30,516
(FIELD LAUGHS)
211
00:13:30,593 --> 00:13:34,859
LANE: Do you go through this every night?
FIELD: It comes with the Blue Plate special.
212
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:40,832
We got up to where your great ambition
was to be a dancer.
213
00:13:42,805 --> 00:13:44,397
Isn't much more to tell.
214
00:13:44,473 --> 00:13:48,204
I had a few jobs with burlesque,
got stranded in Helmet,
215
00:13:48,511 --> 00:13:50,502
then a fellow with a doll pitch
wanted an assistant
216
00:13:50,579 --> 00:13:52,945
so I hooked up with Coyne's Carnival.
217
00:13:53,015 --> 00:13:56,212
And that takes us right up to 8:30.
218
00:13:56,285 --> 00:13:59,083
- Now what are you gonna do?
- Catch my breath.
219
00:13:59,154 --> 00:14:01,987
You got to make a living.
What can you do?
220
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:05,822
I was gonna figure that one out tonight.
221
00:14:06,395 --> 00:14:08,386
- Hey, Pete!
- Yes, sir.
222
00:14:09,098 --> 00:14:11,862
I was just wondering if you could use
another girl to wait tables?
223
00:14:11,934 --> 00:14:15,267
- Well, I don't know about that.
- Miss Bellamy here is looking for a job
224
00:14:15,337 --> 00:14:17,669
and I notice that business
has been pretty good.
225
00:14:17,740 --> 00:14:20,607
- You ever wait a table before?
- Once.
226
00:14:20,676 --> 00:14:24,737
Here no one will know the difference.
Okay. You wait lunch and supper.
227
00:14:24,813 --> 00:14:26,872
Ten dollars a week, your meals and tips.
228
00:14:26,949 --> 00:14:29,042
Well, you can do better than that.
229
00:14:29,118 --> 00:14:32,212
Everybody knows the restaurant business
better than I do.
230
00:14:32,288 --> 00:14:36,122
- I think it's wonderful. I'll take it. Thanks.
- What for? So you're getting fallen arches.
231
00:14:36,191 --> 00:14:39,388
Hey, Millie, the new girl here starts
tomorrow, noons and supper.
232
00:14:39,461 --> 00:14:41,122
Oh, good.
233
00:14:42,531 --> 00:14:46,058
- May I have a check, please?
- Did you ever wait table before, honey?
234
00:14:46,135 --> 00:14:48,194
- Well, not in a cafe.
- Ain't anything to it.
235
00:14:48,270 --> 00:14:49,931
Just bring them in full,
take them out empty,
236
00:14:50,005 --> 00:14:52,769
and don't drop the tray
when someone pinches you.
237
00:14:52,841 --> 00:14:54,706
And you'll get pinched.
238
00:14:54,777 --> 00:14:57,473
Millie, you don't happen to know of
a good, cheap room someplace, do you?
239
00:14:57,546 --> 00:14:59,309
Only kind I do know.
240
00:14:59,915 --> 00:15:03,578
I tell you what. You and me could go in
on a double, if you want to try it?
241
00:15:03,652 --> 00:15:04,880
That'd be swell.
242
00:15:04,954 --> 00:15:08,321
- You got a place to stay tonight?
- Yes. Yes, I have. Thanks.
243
00:15:09,325 --> 00:15:13,056
- None of my business, mind you.
- Let's get out of here.
244
00:15:13,329 --> 00:15:15,297
- Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
- Okay.
245
00:15:15,364 --> 00:15:18,458
Look, I'm not gonna try and thank you
for everything now, but...
246
00:15:18,534 --> 00:15:20,024
Well, thanks, anyway.
247
00:15:20,102 --> 00:15:21,535
TITUS: Hey, bub.
248
00:15:21,604 --> 00:15:23,401
Surprised to see you, bub.
249
00:15:23,472 --> 00:15:26,339
Thought you'd be having a fancy dinner
up on Flamingo Road.
250
00:15:26,408 --> 00:15:28,376
Well, Coyne cleared out.
251
00:15:28,444 --> 00:15:31,038
- Miss Bellamy here is all he left.
- Hi.
252
00:15:31,113 --> 00:15:34,173
This ain't a very good town
to get stranded in.
253
00:15:34,783 --> 00:15:38,241
- Well, no town is.
- Pete just gave her a job. I asked him to.
254
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,118
That's good.
We got a nice town, Miss Bellamy.
255
00:15:41,190 --> 00:15:45,456
We aim to keep it that way.
Everybody working and happy.
256
00:15:46,261 --> 00:15:48,729
- I'll take you home.
- You do that, Field.
257
00:15:48,797 --> 00:15:51,766
You've got a great reputation for courtesy.
258
00:15:51,834 --> 00:15:54,268
- Figure to see you later.
- Yeah.
259
00:15:54,336 --> 00:15:55,564
PETE: Like to have
some more milk, Sheriff?
260
00:15:55,638 --> 00:15:57,902
Yeah, fill it up.
261
00:16:03,579 --> 00:16:05,911
Was that fat man telling me
to get out of town?
262
00:16:05,981 --> 00:16:08,313
I never know for sure
what he means, myself.
263
00:16:08,384 --> 00:16:10,545
Hey, he gives me the creeps.
264
00:16:10,619 --> 00:16:13,918
We had better looking people
than that in our sideshows.
265
00:16:13,989 --> 00:16:16,583
- Do you like him?
- No.
266
00:16:16,659 --> 00:16:19,150
Now that I come to think of it,
I don't guess I do.
267
00:16:19,228 --> 00:16:21,287
Well, how come you work for him then?
268
00:16:21,363 --> 00:16:24,298
Well, he's a very important man
in this town.
269
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,127
That's a very funny reason.
270
00:16:46,221 --> 00:16:49,713
You don't have to stay here tonight.
You know that, don't you?
271
00:16:49,792 --> 00:16:52,420
Sometimes a nice guy comes along
and even the things he says
272
00:16:52,494 --> 00:16:56,123
don't sound the way they did
when somebody else said them.
273
00:16:56,331 --> 00:16:58,231
Would you like to sit on my porch
for a minute?
274
00:16:58,300 --> 00:16:59,426
Yeah.
275
00:17:00,602 --> 00:17:04,333
It's funny how everything can change
within a couple of hours.
276
00:17:04,406 --> 00:17:06,806
Supposing I had run away with Coyne
and the others,
277
00:17:06,875 --> 00:17:09,275
I would've just had to keep on going.
278
00:17:09,344 --> 00:17:13,246
Got to stop sometime
because after a while you get afraid.
279
00:17:14,149 --> 00:17:17,414
Then there isn't anything left
that you want or care about.
280
00:17:17,486 --> 00:17:20,580
- You don't feel like that now, do you?
- Oh, no.
281
00:17:21,223 --> 00:17:24,420
For the first time in my life,
I feel I really belong someplace.
282
00:17:24,493 --> 00:17:26,757
And someplace belongs to me.
283
00:17:26,829 --> 00:17:30,856
I live in Boldon and I don't ever have
to leave unless I want to.
284
00:17:31,967 --> 00:17:34,834
Hey, look, they can't make me go,
can they?
285
00:17:35,204 --> 00:17:36,865
I mean, if I don't want to.
286
00:17:36,939 --> 00:17:40,340
They can't just bat a person around
because the town doesn't want them.
287
00:17:40,409 --> 00:17:41,535
No.
288
00:17:43,579 --> 00:17:45,012
That's good.
289
00:17:48,250 --> 00:17:52,209
Well, it's getting late.
That fat man said he wanted to see you.
290
00:17:52,454 --> 00:17:54,012
I suppose so.
291
00:17:54,089 --> 00:17:56,683
Well, good night.
292
00:17:57,726 --> 00:17:59,125
Good night.
293
00:17:59,461 --> 00:18:01,520
- You know something?
- What?
294
00:18:02,264 --> 00:18:04,630
I'll bet you're a lousy sheriff.
295
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:05,994
Mmm.
296
00:18:32,127 --> 00:18:33,890
- Boatright, hurry up!
- Yes, sir.
297
00:18:33,962 --> 00:18:35,657
- Did you find Field?
- Yes, sir.
298
00:18:35,731 --> 00:18:40,600
He's eating breakfast at the Eagle Cafe
and he's had six cups of coffee already.
299
00:18:44,239 --> 00:18:47,265
(PHONE RINGING)
300
00:18:48,577 --> 00:18:49,805
Hello?
301
00:18:49,878 --> 00:18:53,905
Oh, yes, Sheriff, he's here.
Hey, Field! Field!
302
00:18:53,982 --> 00:18:55,779
- Yeah?
- It's for you.
303
00:19:00,923 --> 00:19:03,323
Hey, bub, it don't look exactly right,
304
00:19:03,392 --> 00:19:07,123
my deputy spending so much
of the taxpayers' time drinking coffee.
305
00:19:07,196 --> 00:19:09,790
Get shined up,
pick me up at the hotel at 7:00.
306
00:19:09,865 --> 00:19:11,765
Keep this evening free.
307
00:19:19,274 --> 00:19:22,334
That was the Sheriff.
I got to see him tonight.
308
00:19:22,411 --> 00:19:24,402
- I'm sorry about our date.
- So am I.
309
00:19:24,479 --> 00:19:25,810
- Tomorrow?
- Sure.
310
00:19:25,881 --> 00:19:26,973
Good.
311
00:19:28,450 --> 00:19:32,682
- Well, Pete, how's she doing?
- Fine. Okay. She's the best I ever had.
312
00:19:35,891 --> 00:19:39,554
I had to slap him a couple of times.
Outside of that, he bored me stiff.
313
00:19:39,628 --> 00:19:41,926
- How about going out with me tonight?
- Well, I...
314
00:19:41,997 --> 00:19:44,659
- What time will I pick you up?
- After 8:00.
315
00:19:46,168 --> 00:19:47,362
LANE: I'll take it.
316
00:19:47,436 --> 00:19:50,428
MILLIE: Hey, if you're gonna be
free tonight, want to go on a double date?
317
00:19:50,505 --> 00:19:54,134
I'm going out with Tunis Simms.
We could get his brother Johnny for you.
318
00:19:54,209 --> 00:19:55,801
Awful nice boys.
319
00:19:56,044 --> 00:19:57,443
Thanks, Millie. I don't think so.
320
00:19:57,512 --> 00:20:00,447
Oh, honey, you can't sit home
like a dope every night
321
00:20:00,515 --> 00:20:02,312
waiting for Field
to get around to seeing you.
322
00:20:02,384 --> 00:20:03,544
Some other time, maybe.
323
00:20:03,619 --> 00:20:05,416
You sure seem to know all the answers,
324
00:20:05,487 --> 00:20:07,717
but I'm afraid
you don't understand the questions.
325
00:20:07,789 --> 00:20:11,281
How's a fellow supposed to appreciate a
girl if she ain't popular with other fellows?
326
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:13,760
Look, baby,
people like Field live on Flamingo Road.
327
00:20:13,829 --> 00:20:15,592
People like us live on River Street.
328
00:20:15,664 --> 00:20:18,827
And on River Street,
the Simms boys are awful nice.
329
00:20:18,901 --> 00:20:20,732
Oh, so that's what makes
the difference in Boldon?
330
00:20:20,802 --> 00:20:23,600
- Living on Flamingo Road?
- It sure helps.
331
00:20:23,672 --> 00:20:26,641
Well, maybe one of these days,
I'll get a place on Flamingo Road, myself.
332
00:20:26,708 --> 00:20:30,166
Well, when you get there, honey,
save me a room and bed.
333
00:20:30,245 --> 00:20:32,543
Can you break down now
and tell me where we're going?
334
00:20:32,614 --> 00:20:35,640
How are you and Annabelle
getting along these days?
335
00:20:35,717 --> 00:20:37,184
Same as usual, I guess.
336
00:20:37,252 --> 00:20:40,085
You two think about getting married ever?
337
00:20:40,155 --> 00:20:42,521
You know I can't do that on my salary.
338
00:20:42,591 --> 00:20:46,823
Maybe we can straighten that out.
I told you I had plans for you.
339
00:20:47,362 --> 00:20:51,856
Plans that don't include you getting mixed
up with that stray cat from the carnival.
340
00:20:54,303 --> 00:20:57,795
How would you like to be a member
of the State Legislature?
341
00:20:57,873 --> 00:20:58,897
I'm no politician.
342
00:20:58,974 --> 00:21:01,306
I don't think I could get 10 votes
from my own home town.
343
00:21:01,376 --> 00:21:02,968
I didn't ask you
how to get elected senator.
344
00:21:03,045 --> 00:21:06,105
I asked you if you wanted to get elected.
Do you or don't you?
345
00:21:06,181 --> 00:21:10,015
- Well, yeah. I guess anybody would.
- You catch on fast.
346
00:21:10,852 --> 00:21:13,343
Now, all you need to know is two words,
"yep" and "nope."
347
00:21:13,422 --> 00:21:16,050
You can't go wrong
if you say "yep" to the right people
348
00:21:16,124 --> 00:21:18,285
and "nope" to the rest of them.
349
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:20,885
It might be a good thing, bub,
if you was to get married.
350
00:21:20,963 --> 00:21:23,761
Man going to the Legislature's
got to have a heart of gold
351
00:21:23,832 --> 00:21:26,824
and a respectable wife for voters to see.
352
00:21:26,902 --> 00:21:31,305
Gives folks confidence in him.
Never been able to figure out why.
353
00:21:31,473 --> 00:21:35,204
Yep, Annabelle Weldon would be
just about right.
354
00:21:36,178 --> 00:21:40,342
You see, bub, I am planning
to skin me a big bear one of these days.
355
00:21:40,916 --> 00:21:43,146
Step on it. It's after 7:00.
356
00:21:43,218 --> 00:21:46,278
Sure don't want to keep
Dan Reynolds waiting.
357
00:21:46,355 --> 00:21:50,587
- FIELD: Dan Reynolds?
- Pinch its ear, bub. I like to hear it squeal.
358
00:21:50,692 --> 00:21:51,681
(CHUCKLES)
359
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,823
(SIREN WAILING)
360
00:22:08,210 --> 00:22:11,475
- Good evening, Sheriff Semple, sir.
- Evening, Wade.
361
00:22:12,714 --> 00:22:15,444
They nominating senators here
this evening?
362
00:22:15,517 --> 00:22:19,044
There are a lot of senators elected
at Lute Mae's place.
363
00:22:19,388 --> 00:22:21,322
And governors, too.
364
00:22:21,390 --> 00:22:23,824
Come along, I'll show you
and everything's going to be all right.
365
00:22:23,892 --> 00:22:25,883
You'll meet the right people.
366
00:22:37,339 --> 00:22:39,773
Hurry up, Gracie. The well's going dry.
367
00:22:39,841 --> 00:22:42,401
Where do those big shots put it all?
368
00:22:45,013 --> 00:22:48,244
Well, Titus, you old blimp, you!
How are you?
369
00:22:48,316 --> 00:22:49,783
How are you, Lute Mae?
370
00:22:49,851 --> 00:22:51,614
I didn't expect to see you
in my place again.
371
00:22:51,686 --> 00:22:54,712
I don't get around like I used to.
Meet Field Carlisle.
372
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:56,587
- How are you, Field?
- Howdy, Lute Mae.
373
00:22:56,658 --> 00:23:00,025
I knew your father, the judge.
You look some like him.
374
00:23:00,095 --> 00:23:02,859
And I always said there was never
a handsomer man in the state.
375
00:23:02,931 --> 00:23:04,421
- Thanks.
- Your friends are upstairs.
376
00:23:04,499 --> 00:23:08,299
- Yeah, I reckoned they would be.
- Go on up. Meet the big boss.
377
00:23:08,703 --> 00:23:12,969
No matter how many times you see it,
you just can't believe it's real.
378
00:23:14,009 --> 00:23:15,169
(LAUGHS)
379
00:23:15,243 --> 00:23:17,677
Go up. Don't keep the boss waiting.
380
00:23:18,013 --> 00:23:19,810
My old man, rest his uneasy soul,
381
00:23:19,881 --> 00:23:23,112
once said that the only time to raise
was before the draw.
382
00:23:23,185 --> 00:23:26,951
I always believed him after he took a club
to the back of my head.
383
00:23:27,022 --> 00:23:28,216
Raise.
384
00:23:29,891 --> 00:23:31,085
I'm in.
385
00:23:31,393 --> 00:23:33,156
- I'll stay.
- Out.
386
00:23:33,228 --> 00:23:36,095
- I think I'll take a test card.
- Let's have some action, boys.
387
00:23:36,164 --> 00:23:38,132
I'm just a man who doesn't know
his own weakness.
388
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,134
- PARKER: That's possible.
- Maybe it could be you, Gracie.
389
00:23:40,202 --> 00:23:43,638
- Could be. There.
- Thank you.
390
00:23:43,705 --> 00:23:45,172
How many for you, Dan?
391
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,074
I think I'll just play those.
Come on, baby, let's watch this.
392
00:23:49,845 --> 00:23:51,403
Two to the dealer and check.
393
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,243
NILES: Check.
PARKER: Check.
394
00:23:53,315 --> 00:23:56,648
- Check to you, Dan.
- Okay. Here you are.
395
00:23:57,319 --> 00:23:58,946
Growl over that.
396
00:23:59,788 --> 00:24:01,050
NILES: I can't match that.
397
00:24:01,123 --> 00:24:05,617
I think you're lying, but I haven't
got nerve enough to find out for sure.
398
00:24:05,894 --> 00:24:09,694
Thanks, boys. Easy come, easy go.
Come on, Gracie. Take a handful.
399
00:24:09,764 --> 00:24:11,288
- Help yourself.
- Thank you!
400
00:24:11,366 --> 00:24:13,027
PARKER: Look at that, a pair of deuces.
401
00:24:13,101 --> 00:24:14,659
What a bluffer.
402
00:24:14,736 --> 00:24:16,727
(MEN LAUGHING)
403
00:24:16,805 --> 00:24:18,898
- MITCHELL: Still pushing 'em.
- Oh, boy!
404
00:24:18,974 --> 00:24:20,339
Hello, Dan.
405
00:24:20,408 --> 00:24:23,673
Well, this is a surprise, Titus.
I didn't think you could make the stairs.
406
00:24:23,745 --> 00:24:26,145
I usually manage one way or another.
407
00:24:26,214 --> 00:24:27,272
When it's worth your while.
408
00:24:27,349 --> 00:24:28,748
(LAUGHING)
409
00:24:28,817 --> 00:24:30,648
- How are you, boys?
- MEN: How are you?
410
00:24:30,719 --> 00:24:33,779
I'd like you to meet my deputy,
Field Carlisle. Dan Reynolds.
411
00:24:33,855 --> 00:24:36,517
- How do you do, sir?
- I knew your father, the judge, slightly.
412
00:24:36,591 --> 00:24:39,389
He did his best once to put me in jail.
413
00:24:39,461 --> 00:24:42,430
Come on over and meet the boys.
This is John Shelton from Brenton.
414
00:24:42,497 --> 00:24:43,657
- Mr. Shelton.
- How are you?
415
00:24:43,732 --> 00:24:46,599
Link Niles from Marlack County.
Very, very shy.
416
00:24:46,668 --> 00:24:47,999
- Glad to meet you.
- How do you do, Mr. Niles?
417
00:24:48,069 --> 00:24:50,663
Here's one of the best.
This is Ed Parker from Trondo.
418
00:24:50,739 --> 00:24:52,104
- Mr. Parker.
- How are you, Field?
419
00:24:52,174 --> 00:24:53,732
Les Mitchell, Kentara County.
420
00:24:53,808 --> 00:24:55,673
- How do you do, sir?
- Glad to know you, sir.
421
00:24:55,744 --> 00:24:56,870
Tom Hill from Lodge View.
422
00:24:56,945 --> 00:24:58,310
- How do you do, Mr. Hill?
- How do you do?
423
00:24:58,380 --> 00:25:01,577
Oh, yes, and Gracie. Gracie!
Where are you from, sugar?
424
00:25:01,650 --> 00:25:04,551
- I'm from Paducah.
- There we are, Gracie from Paducah.
425
00:25:04,619 --> 00:25:06,849
Never would have guessed it.
426
00:25:06,922 --> 00:25:10,722
I figured on finding all you boys
getting up a weekend frolic.
427
00:25:11,826 --> 00:25:14,454
So I just came down to tell you
how things is in my district.
428
00:25:14,529 --> 00:25:16,394
- How are things?
- Well, when Lockheart died,
429
00:25:16,464 --> 00:25:18,056
it sort of left a hole in the Legislature.
430
00:25:18,133 --> 00:25:19,794
I figured to help you plug it up.
431
00:25:19,868 --> 00:25:22,063
We were half-thinking of Ed Morgan
taking the vacancy.
432
00:25:22,137 --> 00:25:23,934
- MITCHELL: Yes.
- Well, you can stop thinking now.
433
00:25:24,005 --> 00:25:25,302
I've done it for you.
434
00:25:25,373 --> 00:25:29,366
Since it's my district, I'm going to
put my deputy, Field, there.
435
00:25:31,012 --> 00:25:32,445
PARKER: That's all right, Sheriff.
NILES: Sure.
436
00:25:32,514 --> 00:25:34,345
And now, Senator Carlisle,
437
00:25:34,416 --> 00:25:37,510
you understand with what difficulty
a great public servant is born.
438
00:25:37,586 --> 00:25:38,644
How do you feel?
439
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,315
- Well, like the tail on a runaway kite.
- What you need is a drink.
440
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,880
I didn't come up here to talk politics.
441
00:25:43,959 --> 00:25:45,654
- Let's get on with the game.
- I'm ready.
442
00:25:45,727 --> 00:25:46,819
Here.
443
00:25:46,895 --> 00:25:49,625
- Is this all there is to it?
- That's all.
444
00:25:49,698 --> 00:25:51,962
Oh, now and then
we have to help cut each other's bait.
445
00:25:52,033 --> 00:25:55,264
- You mean I'm Titus's minnow?
- Not exactly.
446
00:25:55,337 --> 00:25:59,330
- It could turn out that way if you let it.
- I figured you'd see things my way.
447
00:25:59,407 --> 00:26:01,637
Now I want to do something for you, Dan.
448
00:26:01,710 --> 00:26:04,543
I've got some fine convict boys out
to my county farm.
449
00:26:04,613 --> 00:26:08,310
You could get them cheap
for that road job you're building.
450
00:26:08,850 --> 00:26:11,785
At a dollar a day for the county
and a dollar and a half a day for you?
451
00:26:11,853 --> 00:26:14,879
- That's a nice good figure, Dan.
- MITCHELL: Deal you in, Titus?
452
00:26:14,956 --> 00:26:16,685
We'd like to take some of your money
home with us.

to do that very thing for years.

- Okay.
- MITCHELL: What are you gonna play?
458
00:26:23,598 --> 00:26:26,328
DAN: You're a veteran, aren't you?
FIELD: Yes, sir.
459
00:26:26,401 --> 00:26:29,495
- DAN: Army or navy?
- Army. Fourth Division.
460
00:26:29,571 --> 00:26:31,266
You been around.
461
00:26:31,339 --> 00:26:33,534
Well, that's all to the good.
462
00:26:34,442 --> 00:26:36,808
You can go a long way in this state
if you want to.
463
00:26:36,878 --> 00:26:40,814
You've got a good name and with Titus
backing you, you've got a good start.
464
00:26:40,882 --> 00:26:44,943
You stick with Titus.
And remember one thing.
465
00:26:45,020 --> 00:26:49,252
He's the only man I know that can make
a sow's ear out of a silk purse.
466
00:26:49,324 --> 00:26:53,556
Somehow, I always hate to see it happen!
Here's luck to you, Senator!
467
00:26:54,195 --> 00:26:56,220
Thanks. I appreciate that.
468
00:26:57,232 --> 00:26:59,530
All right, bub. Let's push off.
469
00:26:59,834 --> 00:27:01,358
- Sheriff?
- Yes?
470
00:27:03,672 --> 00:27:09,508
LANE: (SINGING) If I could be with you
I'd love you strong
471
00:27:09,978 --> 00:27:14,711
If I could be with you I'd love you long
472
00:27:16,217 --> 00:27:21,780
I want you to know that I wouldn't go
473
00:27:21,856 --> 00:27:26,987
Until I told you, honey, that I love you so
474
00:27:27,062 --> 00:27:33,194
If I could be with you one hour tonight
475
00:27:33,268 --> 00:27:37,136
If I was free to do the things I might
476
00:27:37,205 --> 00:27:39,639
- Hi, Sheriff!
- Millie!
477
00:27:39,708 --> 00:27:42,802
I'm telling you true
478
00:27:43,778 --> 00:27:45,143
Hello, Lane.
479
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,171
Well, Sheriff,
I'm surprised to see you here.
480
00:27:48,249 --> 00:27:50,240
I'm here on business. Political deal.
481
00:27:50,318 --> 00:27:52,286
- Oh.
- By yourself?
482
00:27:52,354 --> 00:27:54,788
No, I'm with Millie
and the two Rover Boys.
483
00:27:54,856 --> 00:27:57,051
That one over there bought me
a sandwich and a cup of coffee,
484
00:27:57,125 --> 00:27:59,889
and now he's sore because he figures
it's money thrown away.
485
00:27:59,961 --> 00:28:02,191
- I see.
- What's this, Sheriff? A raid?
486
00:28:02,263 --> 00:28:03,321
No.
487
00:28:03,398 --> 00:28:04,888
LANE: Come on. Let's go over here.
488
00:28:04,966 --> 00:28:06,991
All these machines are fixed.
489
00:28:07,068 --> 00:28:10,196
Hey, Lane. Let's get out of here.
You going with me?
490
00:28:10,271 --> 00:28:11,431
No.
491
00:28:11,506 --> 00:28:13,599
Oh, you moving in, Field?
492
00:28:14,008 --> 00:28:15,839
Here's 80 cents
for my sandwich and coffee.
493
00:28:15,910 --> 00:28:18,310
Let's have no hard feelings, huh?
494
00:28:18,847 --> 00:28:19,939
Hey!
495
00:28:20,882 --> 00:28:22,440
Wait a minute!
496
00:28:22,517 --> 00:28:24,007
- Millie...
- TUNIS: Come on, let's get out of here!
497
00:28:24,085 --> 00:28:26,144
I think you better stay here
with your friends.
498
00:28:26,221 --> 00:28:29,088
I'm sure the sheriff will take me home.
I'll see you later.
499
00:28:29,157 --> 00:28:30,181
Well, all right.
500
00:28:30,258 --> 00:28:33,819
But I don't see why you had to go
and spoil a nice party.
501
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,673
What were you doing out
with the Simms boys?
502
00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:54,305
I was afraid for a while
you weren't going to ask me.
503
00:28:54,382 --> 00:28:57,647
I thought maybe you didn't care
one way or another.
504
00:29:12,367 --> 00:29:16,326
I bet this is a pretty place by daylight.
What's the name of it?
505
00:29:18,773 --> 00:29:20,297
Shell Springs.
506
00:29:21,676 --> 00:29:23,541
Is it really a spring?
507
00:29:27,215 --> 00:29:31,982
It's the only spring in the state that's
guaranteed to have no therapeutic value.
508
00:29:32,053 --> 00:29:34,521
Now can we forget the statistics?
509
00:29:36,357 --> 00:29:39,520
It is getting late.
We'd better be getting back.
510
00:29:46,901 --> 00:29:48,766
LANE: Come on, Buffalo Bill.
511
00:30:02,784 --> 00:30:06,811
Somehow I wish you'd known
this was going to happen the way I did.
512
00:30:15,330 --> 00:30:17,560
POSTMAN: "The grossness
of Titus Semple's shadow
513
00:30:17,632 --> 00:30:21,568
"prevents us from describing it
as 'sinister,' but we call it 'evil."'
514
00:30:21,636 --> 00:30:23,627
FARMER: (LAUGHS) That's telling him.
515
00:30:23,705 --> 00:30:26,139
POSTMAN: "In his shadow today
stands the scion
516
00:30:26,207 --> 00:30:28,505
"of one of the town's oldest families.
517
00:30:28,743 --> 00:30:31,303
"For Fielding Carlisle,
we have only sympathy.
518
00:30:31,379 --> 00:30:34,075
"For the voters, we have only pity."
519
00:30:34,148 --> 00:30:37,777
My, my, that Doc Waterson
sure can pour it on, can't he?
520
00:30:37,852 --> 00:30:39,581
- So long.
- FARMER: So long.
521
00:30:53,001 --> 00:30:56,402
- Sorry, Field.
- It's your paper.
522
00:30:57,505 --> 00:30:59,803
I've known you
since you were a youngster, son.
523
00:30:59,874 --> 00:31:02,069
Your father was a fine man.
524
00:31:02,143 --> 00:31:05,579
I never understood why you didn't
finish law school like he wanted.
525
00:31:05,647 --> 00:31:08,548
You never really looked good
wearing a deputy sheriff's badge.
526
00:31:08,616 --> 00:31:11,050
Too much like a ring in your nose.
527
00:31:13,354 --> 00:31:14,616
Hey, bub!
528
00:31:20,762 --> 00:31:21,922
Ready?
529
00:31:22,297 --> 00:31:25,323
Seen the Advertiser this morning?
The whole town's laughing.
530
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,369
Nobody but an idiot would read
that filthy sheet.
531
00:31:28,436 --> 00:31:31,894
One day Waterson's going too far out
on a limb, and when he does,
532
00:31:31,973 --> 00:31:34,635
I'm gonna chop it off and him with it!
533
00:31:36,044 --> 00:31:39,810
Have you had that talk with Annabelle yet
about getting married?
534
00:31:39,881 --> 00:31:42,782
I kind of wanted to think about it
a couple of days.
535
00:31:42,850 --> 00:31:44,943
Nothing to think about.
536
00:31:45,019 --> 00:31:47,385
You drop me over at the Palmer House
537
00:31:47,455 --> 00:31:51,152
and get over to that girl's house
and ask her to marry you.
538
00:32:04,505 --> 00:32:07,065
I think it's just wonderful
your being a senator!
539
00:32:07,141 --> 00:32:09,336
I'm just as proud as I can be.
540
00:32:09,410 --> 00:32:12,038
But that nasty Mr. Waterson
in the Advertiser!
541
00:32:12,113 --> 00:32:13,546
Papa says you should sue him.
542
00:32:13,615 --> 00:32:16,675
Even if you can't collect any money,
it'll teach him a lesson.
543
00:32:16,751 --> 00:32:20,585
But I don't see why you didn't tell me
about it before I read it in the paper.
544
00:32:20,655 --> 00:32:22,282
You could've called me last night.
545
00:32:22,357 --> 00:32:24,587
Well, it was late last night.
It was awful late.
546
00:32:24,659 --> 00:32:27,150
Next thing I know, you'll just pick up
and go off to Olympic City
547
00:32:27,228 --> 00:32:29,355
and that's the last I'll hear of you.
548
00:32:29,430 --> 00:32:31,193
Well, I'm not elected yet.
549
00:32:31,265 --> 00:32:35,258
Papa says anybody who's got the sheriff
behind him gets elected.
550
00:32:36,504 --> 00:32:39,701
We've known each other
for a long time, Annabelle.
551
00:32:40,008 --> 00:32:42,238
I've just been thinking that
it would be a good idea
552
00:32:42,310 --> 00:32:45,108
if you and I went to Olympic City together.
553
00:32:45,179 --> 00:32:49,946
They tell me that any young man going
into politics is supposed to get married.
554
00:32:51,719 --> 00:32:53,311
Field, darling!
555
00:32:53,888 --> 00:32:56,049
I do love you so!
556
00:32:56,591 --> 00:33:01,688
And I am so proud of you!
Mrs. Senator Fielding Carlisle.
557
00:33:02,130 --> 00:33:04,758
Norma Henderson will just be livid.
558
00:33:04,832 --> 00:33:08,734
Although I don't suppose anyone
will be surprised and that's half the fun.
559
00:33:08,803 --> 00:33:10,395
I have a million things to do.
560
00:33:10,471 --> 00:33:12,496
The reception
and our announcements to get out.
561
00:33:12,573 --> 00:33:14,200
And Papa says we'll have
to do some entertaining
562
00:33:14,275 --> 00:33:15,799
to interest the nice people in you.
563
00:33:15,877 --> 00:33:19,438
He says you'll have to move right back
here to Flamingo Road where you belong.
564
00:33:19,514 --> 00:33:21,846
I thought you'd never get around
to asking me.
565
00:33:21,916 --> 00:33:22,905
Neither did I.
566
00:33:23,351 --> 00:33:24,511
Oh, Field!
567
00:33:26,220 --> 00:33:28,313
He's not here. No.
568
00:33:28,856 --> 00:33:31,689
Oh, yes, he is. I mean, he just come in.
569
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:33,351
- Hello, Pete.
- Hello, Field.
570
00:33:33,428 --> 00:33:36,795
You wanna talk to him? Oh.
571
00:33:38,099 --> 00:33:40,033
Oh, okay.
572
00:33:40,101 --> 00:33:43,332
No, no, I don't ask no questions.
You are the boss.
573
00:33:49,444 --> 00:33:50,809
Hello, Senator.
574
00:33:50,878 --> 00:33:53,676
The Advertiser must have quite
a circulation in Boldon.
575
00:33:53,748 --> 00:33:55,272
What do you care what they said.
576
00:33:55,349 --> 00:33:58,284
Just reading your name
made me proud of you. Hungry?
577
00:33:58,352 --> 00:33:59,376
No, thanks.
578
00:33:59,454 --> 00:34:03,185
- Coffee, huh?
- Yeah, maybe some coffee.
579
00:34:03,257 --> 00:34:07,091
Look, there's something I've got to tell you
and I don't quite know how to do it.
580
00:34:07,161 --> 00:34:09,061
It's about you and me.
581
00:34:10,431 --> 00:34:12,331
I'm gonna get married.
582
00:34:15,036 --> 00:34:17,266
You knew this last night, huh?
583
00:34:17,672 --> 00:34:21,870
Lane, please try to understand.
I'm not sure of anything.
584
00:34:22,677 --> 00:34:25,305
I'm trying to do what I think is right.
585
00:34:25,379 --> 00:34:28,940
It must be right,
otherwise it wouldn't be so hard to do.
586
00:34:29,417 --> 00:34:31,180
Yeah, I suppose so.
587
00:34:33,654 --> 00:34:37,488
I'm almost glad in a way.
Sounds funny, doesn't it?
588
00:34:38,025 --> 00:34:40,425
Sounds funny to me when I say it.
589
00:34:41,229 --> 00:34:43,993
But now we don't have to watch
anything die.
590
00:34:44,065 --> 00:34:46,499
That's what we would have had to do.
591
00:34:46,567 --> 00:34:49,866
The waitress at the Eagle Cafe
and Senator Carlisle.
592
00:34:51,572 --> 00:34:53,369
I'll get your coffee.
593
00:35:18,699 --> 00:35:22,191
- Where'd he go?
- Field? I guess he changed his mind.
594
00:35:22,270 --> 00:35:26,434
- Sit down, drink your coffee.
- No, thanks. I don't want it.
595
00:35:26,808 --> 00:35:30,608
- I got to let you go, Lane.
- You mean I'm fired?
596
00:35:30,678 --> 00:35:35,012
- Well, business ain't been so good lately.
- Business has been fine.
597
00:35:35,082 --> 00:35:37,243
And if you let me go,
you'll only have to get another girl.
598
00:35:37,318 --> 00:35:39,912
The job is not really good
like used to be.
599
00:35:39,987 --> 00:35:44,424
- Tips ain't much and the food is rotten.
- The job is good and I want to keep it.
600
00:35:44,492 --> 00:35:46,187
I've got to keep it,
don't you understand that?
601
00:35:46,260 --> 00:35:50,060
I'm sorry, but it's just the way I said.
Business ain't good.
602
00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:55,560
- Okay, I won't make it tough on you.
- You are a nice girl.
603
00:35:55,636 --> 00:35:57,763
Someone else might carry on
and cry maybe.
604
00:35:57,839 --> 00:36:01,969
- I don't cry, Pete.
- Here, this is for the week.
605
00:36:02,743 --> 00:36:06,179
(LAUGHS) And $10 more on account
I didn't give you no notice.
606
00:36:06,247 --> 00:36:07,680
Thanks.
607
00:36:07,748 --> 00:36:12,845
Look, I'd like to bet you this that
you won't tell me why I was fired.
608
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:15,715
That's a hard bet to refuse.
609
00:36:21,062 --> 00:36:22,859
- Yes, Miss?
- I'm looking for a job.
610
00:36:22,930 --> 00:36:25,296
- I'd like to put an ad in your paper.
- I know you.
611
00:36:25,366 --> 00:36:27,834
You're that carnival girl
who took a job at the Eagle Cafe.
612
00:36:27,902 --> 00:36:29,836
- Yes.
- Come in.
613
00:36:29,904 --> 00:36:31,701
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
614
00:36:33,908 --> 00:36:36,274
- Now, what happened?
- I got fired.
615
00:36:36,344 --> 00:36:38,369
I know, but what's the story?
616
00:36:38,446 --> 00:36:41,643
- That's all there is to it. I got fired.
- That isn't all there is to it.
617
00:36:41,716 --> 00:36:44,446
And advertising for a job
isn't going to do you any good.
618
00:36:44,518 --> 00:36:46,349
You're not gonna get a job in Boldon.
619
00:36:46,420 --> 00:36:48,581
Or if you do,
you're not gonna be able to keep it.
620
00:36:48,656 --> 00:36:50,214
I don't understand what you mean.
621
00:36:50,291 --> 00:36:51,485
I think maybe you can find the answer
622
00:36:51,559 --> 00:36:54,426
sitting on the porch over there
at the Palmer House.
623
00:36:54,495 --> 00:36:57,589
- You mean the Sheriff had me canned?
- That's it.
624
00:36:58,966 --> 00:37:02,766
Well, then it wouldn't be any use
putting an ad in your paper.
625
00:37:03,104 --> 00:37:04,662
Are you sure you know
what you're talking about?
626
00:37:04,739 --> 00:37:07,867
I'm a newspaper man. I always check
the source of my information.
627
00:37:07,942 --> 00:37:11,571
If you don't mind, I think
I'll do the same thing. Thanks.
628
00:37:29,697 --> 00:37:32,393
I know you're not asleep.
You don't have to pretend you are!
629
00:37:32,466 --> 00:37:33,956
How are you, Miss Bellamy?
630
00:37:34,035 --> 00:37:36,401
Did you have me fired
from the Eagle Cafe?
631
00:37:36,470 --> 00:37:39,405
Did you have it fixed so I couldn't
get another job in this town?
632
00:37:39,473 --> 00:37:41,668
There wasn't really anything personal in it.
633
00:37:41,742 --> 00:37:44,404
It's personal to me
if I don't have a place to eat or sleep.
634
00:37:44,478 --> 00:37:45,706
I reckon it would be.
635
00:37:45,780 --> 00:37:47,941
I'm a quiet man, Miss Bellamy.
636
00:37:48,015 --> 00:37:50,950
When I see trouble coming, I try to duck it.
637
00:37:51,419 --> 00:37:55,685
Now, with you and Field Carlisle,
I just can't see nothing but trouble.
638
00:37:55,756 --> 00:37:57,553
I don't mean anything to Field Carlisle.
639
00:37:57,625 --> 00:37:59,991
If I did, he wouldn't be getting married,
would he?
640
00:38:00,061 --> 00:38:03,394
I just don't want to take
any chances, Miss Bellamy.
641
00:38:03,764 --> 00:38:06,232
Field's going to the State Senate.
642
00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:08,860
One of these days,
he's going to be Governor.
643
00:38:08,936 --> 00:38:13,532
A man like that's got to get married,
stay married, happily married.
644
00:38:13,607 --> 00:38:16,041
That's fine, but I've got a right to live, too!
645
00:38:16,110 --> 00:38:20,046
You know, when I was a young fellow,
I once had a job at a warehouse.
646
00:38:20,114 --> 00:38:23,379
There were rats there.
I didn't pay no attention to them.
647
00:38:23,451 --> 00:38:27,785
One night, though, I went to sleep
and a rat near half chewed my big toe off
648
00:38:27,855 --> 00:38:30,255
before I knew what was happening.
649
00:38:30,324 --> 00:38:33,782
After that I went around
and plugged up all the holes.
650
00:38:33,861 --> 00:38:37,797
And as long as I kept the holes plugged,
I didn't have nothing to worry about.
651
00:38:37,865 --> 00:38:40,698
That's how I kept my toes all these years.
652
00:38:41,235 --> 00:38:43,396
I won't be run out of town this way.
653
00:38:43,471 --> 00:38:46,440
I'm gonna stay here and get another job.
Any kind of a job.
654
00:38:46,507 --> 00:38:48,975
I'm gonna stay here if it kills me!
655
00:38:49,443 --> 00:38:52,071
You may do just that, Miss Bellamy.
656
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,205
One more move shouldn't be
so hard to take.

- I'm not a carnival girl anymore.

with young Carlisle.
659

I'm not running. Do you understand that?
660
00:39:07,661 --> 00:39:10,528
I'm sure sorry you did that, Miss Bellamy.
661

walking the streets this time of night?
663

- I'm on my way home.
- Oh, yeah?

- No, it doesn't.

This girl giving you any trouble,
Lieutenant?
667
00:39:50,337 --> 00:39:52,134
Yeah, she tried to pick me up.
Let's get her to the station.
668
00:39:52,206 --> 00:39:53,571
What kind of a deal is this?
I haven't done anything.
669
00:39:53,641 --> 00:39:54,699
I can go easy in court
or make it tough on yourself,
670
00:39:54,775 --> 00:39:56,208
- I don't care which!
- LANE: But you can't put me in there!

- Hello, Pete.
- Field, I am glad to see you again.

From everywhere you go,
I hear you make a fine election speeches.
674
00:40:11,859 --> 00:40:14,692
Thanks. I understand Lane
isn't working here anymore.
675
00:40:14,762 --> 00:40:17,526
- Why'd you let her go?
- Well, business was not so good.
676
00:40:17,598 --> 00:40:19,088
I notice you got another girl.
677
00:40:19,166 --> 00:40:21,100
Well, business picked up.
You know how it is.
678
00:40:21,168 --> 00:40:22,192
Yeah.
679
00:40:22,269 --> 00:40:24,203
- You don't know where she is, do you?
- I don't.
680
00:40:24,271 --> 00:40:27,763
- Maybe perhaps Millie, she knows.
- All right.
681
00:40:32,379 --> 00:40:35,007
She just disappeared,
didn't come home one night.
682
00:40:35,082 --> 00:40:37,380
Even left what little clothes
she had in the room.
683
00:40:37,451 --> 00:40:38,748
I tell you, Field, I was worried.
684
00:40:38,819 --> 00:40:41,583
I thought something might have
happened to her.
685
00:40:41,655 --> 00:40:44,624
And then I got to thinking.
She must have just left town.
686
00:40:44,692 --> 00:40:46,956
That was when you were away
orating for votes.
687
00:40:47,027 --> 00:40:49,359
But you got more important things
to think about now, Field,
688
00:40:49,430 --> 00:40:51,489
what with getting married next week.
689
00:40:51,565 --> 00:40:55,126
Suppose I ought to offer you
my congratulations, Senator.
690
00:40:56,637 --> 00:40:57,831
Thanks.
691
00:41:02,109 --> 00:41:03,667
See you again, Field.
692
00:41:03,744 --> 00:41:07,874
Mr. Pete, do we charge extra
for a second cup of coffee?
693
00:41:08,582 --> 00:41:11,915
No, no, no! A cup of coffee...
694
00:41:23,831 --> 00:41:27,528
- You get out tomorrow or Thursday?
- Thursday.
695
00:41:27,601 --> 00:41:30,331
Did you ever stop to think how it is?
The judge can never say anything
696
00:41:30,404 --> 00:41:35,000
but "thirty days!" "Thirty days!"
You'd think it'd get monotonous.
697
00:41:35,943 --> 00:41:38,343
You never did say what you was in for.
698

men on the streets.

What are you gonna do when you get out?
703

Go back to Boldon, I guess.
Try to get a job if I can.

Boldon?
705
00:41:55,663 --> 00:41:59,064
I know a good place you can get a job
in Boldon. I used to work there.
706
00:41:59,133 --> 00:42:02,193
- A road house called Lute Mae's.
- Yeah.
707
00:42:03,537 --> 00:42:07,906
- It sounds like a good setup.
- It was. I waited tables, served drinks.

either, if you work for Lute Mae.

Well, it took a bit of doing
but I finally managed.
809
00:49:38,625 --> 00:49:41,560
- I really tied one on last night, didn't I?
- Mmm-hmm.
810
00:49:42,729 --> 00:49:44,196
Here you are.
811
00:49:44,531 --> 00:49:45,930
- What's that?
- Whiskey Sour.
812
00:49:45,999 --> 00:49:48,559
- Oh, no!
- Oh, yes. Go on, drink it.
813
00:49:49,169 --> 00:49:50,568
How do you know about these things?
814
00:49:50,637 --> 00:49:53,663
I read about them once
in a bartender's manual.
815
00:50:02,749 --> 00:50:03,977
Better?
816
00:50:06,186 --> 00:50:07,346
Better.
817
00:50:08,021 --> 00:50:09,613
- What's your name?
- Lane.
818
00:50:09,689 --> 00:50:13,523
- No, no, I mean your first name.
- That's my first name, Lane.
819
00:50:14,361 --> 00:50:17,819
Well, it was mighty nice of you
to take care of me, Lane.
820
00:50:17,898 --> 00:50:20,765
I still don't see
how you managed it or why.
821
00:50:21,735 --> 00:50:24,465
Not because I'm pretty, that's for sure.
822
00:50:25,171 --> 00:50:29,130
Lute Mae told me to take care of you.
She said you were very important.
823
00:50:29,209 --> 00:50:32,372
- Are you important?
- I don't feel very important.
824
00:50:32,879 --> 00:50:36,110
Look at the score board.
I don't behave like this all the time.
825
00:50:36,182 --> 00:50:39,413
Just once a year after elections,
purge my soul.
826
00:50:39,486 --> 00:50:41,681
I've got a soul that needs lots of purging.
827
00:50:41,755 --> 00:50:44,485
- Well, your candidates won, didn't they?
- Mmm-hmm.
828
00:50:44,557 --> 00:50:46,752
- They always win?
- Just about always.
829
00:50:46,826 --> 00:50:49,488
If they didn't,
I wouldn't be important anymore.
830
00:50:49,562 --> 00:50:52,656
Look, honey, honey,
I've got an awful hangover.
831
00:50:53,199 --> 00:50:54,393
Sorry.
832
00:50:54,801 --> 00:50:57,929
- Can I wash up in there?
- Certainly, help yourself.
833
00:50:58,004 --> 00:51:00,666
My old man warned me
there'd be mornings like this.
834
00:51:00,740 --> 00:51:04,005
You're pretty careless with your money,
aren't you?
835
00:51:13,153 --> 00:51:14,381
Thanks.
836
00:51:15,922 --> 00:51:20,416
- Is Field Carlisle a good man?
- Carlisle, yeah. I guess he's all right.
837
00:51:21,528 --> 00:51:23,052
LANE: You would know if he wasn't,
wouldn't you?
838
00:51:23,129 --> 00:51:25,188
I mean, you helped get him elected,
didn't you?
839
00:51:25,265 --> 00:51:27,358
Titus seems to have a lot of faith in him.
840
00:51:27,434 --> 00:51:29,834
Would you consider that
a recommendation?
841
00:51:29,903 --> 00:51:31,768
You sure ask a lot of questions.
842
00:51:31,838 --> 00:51:34,033
Someone once told me that
it was one way to get answers.
843
00:51:34,107 --> 00:51:37,474
- Where the devil is that towel?
- Here it is.
844
00:51:41,147 --> 00:51:43,638
I'm beginning to feel almost human.
845
00:51:46,186 --> 00:51:47,278
Say,
846
00:51:48,421 --> 00:51:50,946
you know, you're a very pretty girl.
847
00:51:52,859 --> 00:51:54,622
I guess I am human.
848
00:51:55,028 --> 00:51:57,121
I'll get you some breakfast.
849
00:51:58,331 --> 00:52:01,198
- DAN: Don't tell me you can cook, too?
- Uh-huh.
850
00:52:03,336 --> 00:52:04,360
(LANE LAUGHS)
851
00:52:04,437 --> 00:52:05,961
The way you talk,
I don't see much difference
852
00:52:06,039 --> 00:52:08,098
between politics and a carnival pitch.
853
00:52:08,174 --> 00:52:10,233
How come you're so interested in politics?
854
00:52:10,310 --> 00:52:12,278
Just trying to improve my education,
I guess.
855
00:52:12,345 --> 00:52:14,438
It wasn't much of an education
to begin with.
856
00:52:14,514 --> 00:52:18,575
- You sure learned to cook.
- You learn a lot of things in a carnival.
857
00:52:18,651 --> 00:52:21,552
- How are you feeling, Dan?
- Terrible.
858
00:52:21,621 --> 00:52:22,952
This man been annoying you?
859
00:52:23,023 --> 00:52:25,082
As a matter of fact,
she's been bothering me.
860
00:52:25,158 --> 00:52:27,854
She can handle a drunk and
make a whiskey sour and cook bacon.
861
00:52:27,927 --> 00:52:29,121
Crisp.
862
00:52:29,329 --> 00:52:31,991
A man's got to know more
about a gal like that.
863
00:52:32,065 --> 00:52:33,828
- Get me a cup of coffee, will you?
- Sure.
864
00:52:33,900 --> 00:52:37,097
I've got a hangover just from opening
bottles for you last night.
865
00:52:37,170 --> 00:52:39,661
- Did you have fun?
- Honey, fun is like insurance.
866
00:52:39,739 --> 00:52:42,207
The older you get, the more it costs.
867
00:52:42,275 --> 00:52:45,301
Do you mind if Lane drives me down
to my construction job?
868
00:52:45,378 --> 00:52:47,107
I'm afraid I'll fall asleep at the wheel.
869
00:52:47,180 --> 00:52:49,011
When I asked you to keep
an eye on him last night,
870
00:52:49,082 --> 00:52:51,516
I didn't mean you had to room
together all through college.
871
00:52:51,584 --> 00:52:54,849
- DAN: How about it, Lane?
- Well, if it's all right with Lute Mae?
872
00:52:54,921 --> 00:52:59,415
I swear, I don't know whether I'm running
a road house or a get-acquainted society.
873
00:52:59,492 --> 00:53:00,789
Oh, go ahead.
874
00:53:00,860 --> 00:53:03,693
Let's go while we still have her blessing.
875
00:53:04,164 --> 00:53:05,153
(GASPS)
876
00:53:08,601 --> 00:53:11,126
Wake me up when we pass Trondo.
877
00:53:11,204 --> 00:53:13,035
Now I know
why you wanted me to come along.
878
00:53:13,106 --> 00:53:14,437
(CHUCKLES)
879
00:53:25,852 --> 00:53:27,877
(MACHINERY WHIRRING)
880
00:53:33,726 --> 00:53:35,421
DAN: Well, there it is.
881
00:53:36,362 --> 00:53:38,853
With all this,
how do you ever find time for politics?
882
00:53:38,932 --> 00:53:42,459
Honey, I couldn't move
a load of gravel without politics.
883
00:53:42,535 --> 00:53:45,732
When I first started my construction
company, I discovered that the fat jobs,
884
00:53:45,805 --> 00:53:48,433
the big money jobs,
are going to other people.
885
00:53:48,508 --> 00:53:49,702
I needed connections and I found
886
00:53:49,776 --> 00:53:52,643
the only connections I could trust
were the ones I made myself.
887
00:53:52,712 --> 00:53:54,737
So, I began to get men elected
here and there.
888
00:53:54,814 --> 00:53:55,974
It was pretty simple.
889
00:53:56,049 --> 00:53:58,415
Do the people always elect
the men you want?
890
00:53:58,485 --> 00:54:02,046
The people haven't elected anyone in this
state for so long, they've lost the habit.
891
00:54:02,122 --> 00:54:03,646
It's a lot of trouble to go to the polls.
892
00:54:03,723 --> 00:54:07,159
Usually it interferes
with a baseball game or a fishing trip.
893
00:54:07,227 --> 00:54:10,788
When people don't care,
they get about what they deserve.
894
00:54:11,030 --> 00:54:12,930
Meaning a Dan Reynolds?
895
00:54:13,433 --> 00:54:15,333
Yeah, that's about it.
896
00:54:15,635 --> 00:54:17,000
BURR: Hi ya, Dan.
897
00:54:17,170 --> 00:54:19,764
Hi ya, Burr. Come on over and meet Burr.
898
00:54:21,074 --> 00:54:22,939
- BURR: It's good to see you.
- Everything on schedule?
899
00:54:23,009 --> 00:54:24,909
Well, we hit rock yesterday.
We had to blast.
900
00:54:24,978 --> 00:54:27,674
Lane, this is Burr Lassen.
He's head of all our construction.
901
00:54:27,747 --> 00:54:29,237
- Been with me 10 years.
- Hello.
902
00:54:29,315 --> 00:54:30,976
Pleased to meet you.
Well, I'll be seeing you.
903
00:54:31,050 --> 00:54:32,779
Okay. Come on,
let's get something cold to drink.
904
00:54:32,852 --> 00:54:35,150
- Be with you in a minute!
- BURR: Okay!
905
00:54:35,889 --> 00:54:38,551
This is what we call home.
Not good, not bad.
906
00:54:38,625 --> 00:54:40,183
LANE: I've seen worse.
907
00:54:43,163 --> 00:54:46,189
What'd I do with it.
I thought I had some change here.
908
00:54:48,101 --> 00:54:49,193
LANE: Here.
909
00:54:56,075 --> 00:54:59,841
This is the first time since I was a kid
that anyone has ever given me anything.
910
00:54:59,913 --> 00:55:02,040
It's an interesting switch.
911
00:55:05,518 --> 00:55:08,248
And everything about you is interesting.
912
00:55:09,322 --> 00:55:12,155
The more I see you, the less I understand.
913
00:55:15,929 --> 00:55:19,126
There's something inside you
that just won't give.
914
00:55:21,234 --> 00:55:26,137
If I were going to be around a little longer,
maybe I could try and figure you out.
915
00:55:30,910 --> 00:55:33,811
- Going away?
- New York. Probably Washington.
916
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:35,372
Oh.
917
00:55:35,815 --> 00:55:38,045
- Be gone long?
- Quite a while.
918
00:55:39,986 --> 00:55:42,250
I guess today is goodbye then.
919
00:55:43,056 --> 00:55:44,751
Yes, I guess it is.
920
00:55:52,498 --> 00:55:54,523
I'm crazy about you, Lane.
921
00:56:02,542 --> 00:56:04,373
What's your last name?
922
00:56:12,452 --> 00:56:15,512
- Senator Blangsted.
- Afternoon, Senator Carlisle.
923
00:56:15,588 --> 00:56:17,886
- Have you come to a decision yet?
- Decision?
924
00:56:17,957 --> 00:56:19,447
Well, about appointing me
to the power commission.
925
00:56:19,525 --> 00:56:22,050
You remember, about six weeks ago,
you said for me to be patient.
926
00:56:22,128 --> 00:56:23,720
And I still say be patient.
927
00:56:23,796 --> 00:56:27,596
You're young, my boy. Why, you've only
been with us two, or is it three months?
928
00:56:27,667 --> 00:56:31,103
- Now, it took me four years to...
- Hey, bub, come here.
929
00:56:33,106 --> 00:56:34,801
Excuse me, Senator.
930
00:56:35,742 --> 00:56:39,303
I don't want you to make a nuisance
of yourself by asking favors.
931
00:56:39,379 --> 00:56:41,779
People always expect to be paid back.
932
00:56:41,848 --> 00:56:44,976
- Tell the driver to take us to the hotel.
- FIELD: Twenty-third and Second Avenue.

Paging Mr. Dan Reynolds, please.

00:56:53,626 --> 00:56:57,756
Mr. Reynolds. Paging Mr. Dan Reynolds.
Mr. Dan Reynolds, please.

MAN: Not a very interesting session,
was it?
936
00:57:00,767 --> 00:57:02,667
- Excuse me.
- Okay, Sheriff.
937
00:57:03,369 --> 00:57:05,599
- Yes, Sheriff Semple?
- Dan Reynolds in town?
938
00:57:05,672 --> 00:57:07,640
Yes, sir.
Flew in this afternoon from New York.
939
00:57:07,707 --> 00:57:09,732
I'm saving his table, 22.
940
00:57:17,850 --> 00:57:20,375
Better slow down, bub.
Dan Reynolds is in town.
941
00:57:20,453 --> 00:57:24,355
- What am I supposed to do, salute?
- What's the matter with you, bub?
942
00:57:24,424 --> 00:57:28,485
I guess I'm just a little sick of being stuck
in a corner and not getting anyplace.
943
00:57:28,561 --> 00:57:31,496
The only thing I've done in that whole
session is to make one little speech,
944
00:57:31,564 --> 00:57:33,498
and then there were
three people in the house.
945
00:57:33,566 --> 00:57:35,693
- TITUS: I was there.
- All right, four.
946
00:57:35,768 --> 00:57:37,998
Don't go jumping out of your britches.
947
00:57:38,071 --> 00:57:40,301
Remember I told you
I was planning to skin me a bear?
948
00:57:40,373 --> 00:57:44,036
Well, it's a big bear
and I'm taking my time in the skinning.
949
00:57:44,110 --> 00:57:48,171
One of these days, when I think you are
ready, I'm gonna make you Governor.
950
00:57:48,247 --> 00:57:52,047
That's what I've been aiming at.
I never had me a governor before.
951
00:57:56,022 --> 00:57:57,353
I'm sorry I'm late.
952
00:57:57,423 --> 00:57:59,721
Evening, Annabelle. You look real smart.
953
00:57:59,792 --> 00:58:02,556
I look awful.
You needn't tell me, I know I do.
954
00:58:02,628 --> 00:58:04,255
My hair's half done.
955
00:58:04,330 --> 00:58:05,991
But I found out in the beauty shop today
956
00:58:06,065 --> 00:58:09,432
just how much it means
to be a senator's wife in this town!
957
00:58:09,502 --> 00:58:11,970
They gave my appointment
to Dan Reynolds' new lady friend.
958
00:58:12,038 --> 00:58:16,839
Dan's lady friends last such a short time
that folks are obliged to be polite to them.
959
00:58:16,909 --> 00:58:20,242
This one is something special.
The girl in the beauty shop told me.
960
00:58:20,313 --> 00:58:21,837
He brought her back with him
from New York
961
00:58:21,914 --> 00:58:24,280
and she's got enough clothes,
furs and jewels
962
00:58:24,350 --> 00:58:27,046
to start a department store of her own.
963
00:58:33,126 --> 00:58:34,423
What's the matter with you?
964
00:58:34,494 --> 00:58:35,961
- Good evening, Mr. Reynolds.
- Hello, Maurice.
965
00:58:36,028 --> 00:58:40,260
Well, I'm glad to see you back.
I've saved your regular table for you.
966
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,329
Just a moment, dear.
967
00:58:42,602 --> 00:58:44,001
- Hello, Titus.
- TITUS: Hello, Dan.
968
00:58:44,070 --> 00:58:47,130
DAN: How are you, Field?
Mrs. Carlisle, nice to see you.
969
00:58:56,048 --> 00:58:57,413
Cocktails, Mr. Reynolds?
970
00:58:57,483 --> 00:58:59,246
No, I think you might bring
some champagne.
971
00:58:59,318 --> 00:59:01,912
- We'll order a little later.
- Very well, sir.
972
00:59:01,988 --> 00:59:04,388
Cordon Rouge, Mr. Reynolds' table.
973
00:59:05,158 --> 00:59:09,652
Dan, surprised to see you back.
And if it isn't Miss Bellamy.
974
00:59:10,163 --> 00:59:11,596
Sit down, Titus.
975
00:59:11,664 --> 00:59:14,132
Knew you had been running
between New York and Washington
976
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:15,758
for the last three months.
977
00:59:15,835 --> 00:59:18,531
I hardly figured you'd come back
without telling me,
978
00:59:18,604 --> 00:59:20,595
us working together for so long.
979
00:59:20,673 --> 00:59:21,867
Lane dragged me back.
980
00:59:21,941 --> 00:59:24,102
She wanted to see
the State Legislature in action.
981
00:59:24,177 --> 00:59:26,737
I didn't know
you were interested in politics.
982
00:59:26,813 --> 00:59:29,543
I wasn't until politics
became interested in me.
983
00:59:29,615 --> 00:59:32,607
The Legislature's really
interesting to watch.
984
00:59:33,052 --> 00:59:36,488
Of course, we officers of the law
ain't as forgetful of our promises
985
00:59:36,556 --> 00:59:38,183
as the fellows who make the laws.
986
00:59:38,257 --> 00:59:40,885
Now, me, I don't never forget anything.
987
00:59:41,060 --> 00:59:45,429
You know, Sheriff, we had an elephant
in our carnival with a memory like that.
988
00:59:45,498 --> 00:59:49,559
He went after a keeper that he'd held
a grudge against for almost 15 years.
989
00:59:49,635 --> 00:59:51,159
Had to be shot.
990
00:59:51,838 --> 00:59:56,138
You just wouldn't believe how much
trouble it is to dispose of a dead elephant.
991
00:59:56,209 --> 00:59:58,143
(SINGING) If I could be with you
992
00:59:58,544 --> 01:00:00,409
I'd love you strong
993
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:05,144
If I could be with you I'd love you long
994
01:00:05,318 --> 01:00:07,548
I want you to know...
995
01:00:07,620 --> 01:00:09,611
Excuse me a minute, Dan.
996
01:00:09,856 --> 01:00:13,690
Until I told you, honey, why I love you so
997
01:00:25,571 --> 01:00:27,835
I'd be anything but blue
998
01:00:27,940 --> 01:00:30,932
If I could be with you
999
01:00:36,983 --> 01:00:38,712
FIELD: Hello, remember me?
1000
01:00:40,186 --> 01:00:43,451
I'm the fellow that chases girls
off carnival lots.
1001
01:00:43,956 --> 01:00:45,116
Hello, Field.
1002
01:00:45,191 --> 01:00:47,853
You've come a long way
from the Eagle Cafe.
1003
01:00:47,927 --> 01:00:49,724
It's still a dining room.
1004
01:00:49,795 --> 01:00:51,524
No wonder I couldn't find you.
1005
01:00:51,597 --> 01:00:53,997
When you aim, you really aim high.
1006
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,868
I suppose you've been
in New York, too, huh?
1007
01:00:56,936 --> 01:01:00,099
I've been in a lot of places
since I saw you last.
1008
01:01:00,907 --> 01:01:03,740
Isn't it about time he asked you to marry?
1009
01:01:04,410 --> 01:01:07,470
- Did you?
- That was different.
1010
01:01:07,547 --> 01:01:09,276
Yes, it was, Field.
1011
01:01:09,615 --> 01:01:11,515
I was in love with you.
1012
01:01:14,754 --> 01:01:18,190
You're a thief, Reynolds.
My company went bankrupt today.
1013
01:01:18,257 --> 01:01:19,849
TITUS: You're drunk, Martin. Go away.
1014
01:01:19,926 --> 01:01:23,885
- I'm sorry to hear about your company.
- MARTIN: Sure, you're sorry! You're rotten.
1015
01:01:23,963 --> 01:01:25,828
The whole gang of you are rotten.
1016
01:01:25,898 --> 01:01:27,331
- TITUS: Come along...
- Now, just a minute!
1017
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,800
I got a right to tell him what I think of him.
1018
01:01:29,869 --> 01:01:32,064
It was my company, wasn't it?
1019
01:01:32,705 --> 01:01:34,104
Didn't that bother you?
1020
01:01:34,173 --> 01:01:36,641
You get used to it.
Someone's always crying.
1021
01:01:36,709 --> 01:01:38,040
If he was in and I was out,
1022
01:01:38,110 --> 01:01:39,805
then my nose would be pressed
against the windowpane
1023
01:01:39,879 --> 01:01:42,780
and he'd call someone
to pull down the shade.
1024
01:01:50,056 --> 01:01:51,956
I think it's disgraceful
of that Dan Reynolds
1025
01:01:52,024 --> 01:01:53,821
to flaunt a woman of that sort here.
1026
01:01:53,893 --> 01:01:56,885
Look at her,
sitting there as if she owned the place.
1027
01:01:56,963 --> 01:01:58,692
Well, she practically does.
1028
01:01:58,764 --> 01:02:02,928
Dan just told me they got married
in New York more than a month ago.
1029
01:02:03,436 --> 01:02:04,630
ANNABELLE: Oh!
1030
01:02:04,704 --> 01:02:06,535
Really? How exciting!
1031
01:02:07,039 --> 01:02:09,769
I must call on her
the first thing in the morning.
1032
01:02:09,842 --> 01:02:11,036
Great.
1033
01:02:26,258 --> 01:02:27,350
Lane!
1034
01:02:28,494 --> 01:02:29,620
Lane!
1035
01:02:29,795 --> 01:02:31,729
- Hello, Sarah.
- SARAH: Hello.
1036
01:02:31,797 --> 01:02:34,732
Well, I see Mrs. Reynolds is
rearranging the furniture again.
1037
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,098
We've been grunting and pushing
all morning.
1038
01:02:37,169 --> 01:02:39,797
We get everything real nice
time and time again,
1039
01:02:39,872 --> 01:02:43,399
but it seems like Miss Lane
just can't get comfortable in her mind.
1040
01:02:43,476 --> 01:02:44,500
Where is she, Sarah?
1041
01:02:44,577 --> 01:02:48,638
I believe she's still down in the cellar
messing with those contraptions.
1042
01:02:48,714 --> 01:02:50,477
- What contraptions?
- I don't know nothing about them.
1043
01:02:50,549 --> 01:02:53,109
I've got enough to wear me out
in the kitchen with an electric stove
1044
01:02:53,185 --> 01:02:55,676
that you got to run
with buttons and clocks.
1045
01:02:56,022 --> 01:02:57,512
Lane! Lane!
1046
01:02:57,590 --> 01:02:59,490
I'm down here, darling.
1047
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,090
You weren't supposed to get back
until late tonight.
1048
01:03:04,163 --> 01:03:07,360
I didn't want you to see it
till it was all finished.
1049
01:03:10,002 --> 01:03:11,230
But how did you know I wanted a shop?
1050
01:03:11,303 --> 01:03:14,329
Oh, honey, after all the times
you told me that pathetic story
1051
01:03:14,407 --> 01:03:16,932
about having a workshop in your barn
when you were a kid,
1052
01:03:17,009 --> 01:03:20,069
your father not being able to afford even
a hammer after the barn burned down.
1053
01:03:20,146 --> 01:03:21,511
It's wonderful.
1054
01:03:21,580 --> 01:03:23,639
Well, if there is anything
that doesn't work, you can blame me.
1055
01:03:23,716 --> 01:03:27,152
Of course, I don't know one of these things
from another except that's a saw.
1056
01:03:27,219 --> 01:03:29,210
I knew that because
I was sawed in half a couple of nights
1057
01:03:29,288 --> 01:03:32,121
when a magician's assistant
got pneumonia.
1058
01:03:34,060 --> 01:03:36,187
I hope you'll be happy with it, Dan.
1059
01:03:36,262 --> 01:03:37,320
As happy as I am.
1060
01:03:37,396 --> 01:03:39,830
- What?
- I said I hope you like it!
1061
01:03:40,666 --> 01:03:41,894
Like it?
1062
01:03:42,435 --> 01:03:46,428
Honey, getting you and this house
are the best things I ever did.
1063
01:03:46,505 --> 01:03:47,597
(LAUGHS)
1064
01:03:47,673 --> 01:03:51,234
Dan Reynolds, one of these days
you're gonna make me cry.
1065
01:03:51,977 --> 01:03:54,207
Tea is served, Mrs. Reynolds.
1066
01:03:54,447 --> 01:03:56,972
LANE: Oh, no, Sarah.
Not down here, please.
1067
01:03:57,049 --> 01:03:59,882
But you said, "Serve the tea at 4:00."
1068
01:03:59,952 --> 01:04:01,544
It's 4:00.
1069
01:04:09,428 --> 01:04:11,089
- LANE: Strong enough?
- Mmm-hmm.
1070
01:04:11,163 --> 01:04:13,154
- Lemon or cream?
- Straight.
1071
01:04:13,232 --> 01:04:15,359
If I actually thought
you were gonna make me drink this stuff,
1072
01:04:15,434 --> 01:04:16,992
I'd have never bought that tea service.
1073
01:04:17,069 --> 01:04:20,505
I promise never to embarrass you
by bringing it out in company.
1074
01:04:20,573 --> 01:04:21,938
Hello, Titus.
1075
01:04:22,007 --> 01:04:24,100
Hello, Dan. Afternoon, Miss Bellamy.
1076
01:04:24,176 --> 01:04:26,736
- LANE: Mrs. Reynolds.
- Oh, Mrs. Reynolds now, ain't it?
1077
01:04:26,812 --> 01:04:28,837
I always keep forgetting.
1078
01:04:28,914 --> 01:04:32,372
You know, I thought I'd give you time
to get settled before I paid my respects.
1079
01:04:32,451 --> 01:04:36,319
I sure was surprised when
you bought a place in Flamingo Road.
1080
01:04:36,388 --> 01:04:38,151
We always do the unexpected, Titus.
1081
01:04:38,224 --> 01:04:40,658
- As witness, my afternoon tea.
- Tea?
1082
01:04:40,726 --> 01:04:43,854
Sit down, Titus. I know what you want.
Here, dear.
1083
01:04:47,566 --> 01:04:51,366
Real nice place you got here.
Quite an ambitious undertaking.
1084
01:04:51,437 --> 01:04:53,371
Better than Lute Mae's.
1085
01:04:53,439 --> 01:04:56,499
I admire ambition
when it don't get in my way.
1086
01:04:56,575 --> 01:05:01,308
I've never been able to make up my mind
if you're awful smart or awful stupid.
1087
01:05:01,614 --> 01:05:03,605
Someday you may find out, Sheriff.
1088
01:05:03,682 --> 01:05:05,673
Here's your drink, Titus.
1089
01:05:06,118 --> 01:05:07,449
Excuse me.
1090
01:05:10,923 --> 01:05:11,981
Here.
1091
01:05:13,325 --> 01:05:14,917
Come on, Titus. Out with it.
1092
01:05:14,994 --> 01:05:16,962
- What's on your mind?
- Nothing.
1093
01:05:17,029 --> 01:05:20,590
Except I'd sort of like to see young Field
get along a little faster.
1094
01:05:20,666 --> 01:05:24,124
You see, I've been busy measuring
the Governor's chair for him.
1095
01:05:24,203 --> 01:05:28,196
Your memory is getting bad.
The name's Parkhurst, George Parkhurst.
1096
01:05:28,274 --> 01:05:31,107
The chair already fits.
I measured him for it myself.
1097
01:05:31,177 --> 01:05:35,136
Maybe you pronounce it Parkhurst, Dan,
but it's spelt Carlisle.
1098
01:05:35,214 --> 01:05:38,308
I have nothing against Carlisle.
He's just not ready.
1099
01:05:38,384 --> 01:05:40,181
Maybe not, but I am.
1100
01:05:40,886 --> 01:05:43,184
You know the Governor's job
was promised to George Parkhurst.
1101
01:05:43,255 --> 01:05:45,280
Yeah, but it can be un-promised.
1102
01:05:45,357 --> 01:05:49,293
I kind of like it for Field.
I like to see young fellows get ahead.
1103
01:05:49,361 --> 01:05:54,526
You know how I've always been,
just an easygoing, friendly, fat old man.
1104
01:05:54,834 --> 01:05:55,858
Mmm-mmm.
1105
01:05:55,935 --> 01:05:58,802
The governorship was promised
to Parkhurst, and it stands.
1106
01:05:58,871 --> 01:06:00,668
I'm going to keep my word.
1107
01:06:00,739 --> 01:06:02,206
So am I, Dan.
1108
01:06:03,075 --> 01:06:06,442
I'm not gonna let you get away with it.
Maybe I shouldn't be so stubborn.
1109
01:06:06,512 --> 01:06:08,571
Maybe I shouldn't care
if you take over the state.
1110
01:06:08,647 --> 01:06:10,376
I can profit by it.
1111
01:06:10,449 --> 01:06:12,940
But Titus, I know
what you've got in your mind.
1112
01:06:13,018 --> 01:06:16,954
Pretty nice state to hand over to you.
Give you five years and you'll drain it dry.
1113
01:06:17,022 --> 01:06:19,217
What isn't corrupted, you'll corrupt.
I've seen it.
1114
01:06:19,291 --> 01:06:21,521
I know what you're capable of.
1115
01:06:22,494 --> 01:06:26,897
You know, Dan, once before I said
we could run this state real good together.
1116
01:06:26,966 --> 01:06:28,627
Now, I ain't sure.
1117
01:06:28,701 --> 01:06:31,693
I would hate to have to fight it out
with you.
1118
01:06:35,441 --> 01:06:36,738
Sarah!
1119
01:06:36,809 --> 01:06:38,606
Coming, Mr. Reynolds!
1120
01:06:52,758 --> 01:06:55,818
Lane, what's the trouble
between you and Titus?
1121
01:06:56,629 --> 01:06:59,189
I just don't trust him, that's all.
1122
01:06:59,265 --> 01:07:02,530
That's a lot of hatred
for just not trusting a man.
1123
01:07:02,768 --> 01:07:04,929
Never mind.
You'll tell me when you're ready.
1124
01:07:05,004 --> 01:07:06,494
Come on, honey.
1125
01:07:08,641 --> 01:07:10,268
What did he want?
1126
01:07:10,476 --> 01:07:11,738
A favor.
1127
01:07:12,077 --> 01:07:13,738
I turned him down.
1128
01:07:14,246 --> 01:07:17,374
Sometimes I wonder
why I don't let him have his way.
1129
01:07:17,449 --> 01:07:19,349
I have everything I want now.
1130
01:07:19,418 --> 01:07:21,283
I wish you meant that.
1131
01:07:21,654 --> 01:07:25,852
I wish we could get out and leave all this
backstabbing and crookedness behind us.
1132
01:07:25,925 --> 01:07:28,450
- And just turn everything over to Titus?
- No, no, I didn't mean that.
1133
01:07:28,527 --> 01:07:29,994
Well, you give me an answer.
1134
01:07:30,062 --> 01:07:33,759
Look, you know so much more than...
Why don't you be honest with the people?
1135
01:07:33,832 --> 01:07:36,630
Why don't you teach them
to run their own state?
1136
01:07:36,702 --> 01:07:38,329
Honey, the honest men get eaten up.
1137
01:07:38,404 --> 01:07:41,601
There are too many other men waiting,
watching, probing for the soft spots,
1138
01:07:41,674 --> 01:07:43,039
the graft.
1139
01:07:43,108 --> 01:07:47,738
No, it's better to be one of them.
Besides, I've got to keep my eye on Titus.
1140
01:07:47,813 --> 01:07:51,146
Left alone, he'd steal the gold
off the capitol dome.
1141
01:07:51,216 --> 01:07:53,684
- You wouldn't like that, would you?
- No.
1142
01:07:53,752 --> 01:07:55,777
That's why you get drunk
on election night.
1143
01:07:55,854 --> 01:07:57,219
(CHUCKLES)
1144
01:07:57,289 --> 01:07:59,314
You're a very smart girl.
1145
01:08:01,193 --> 01:08:04,788
You take care of the teapot.
Let me take care of Titus.
1146
01:08:06,999 --> 01:08:09,058
It's not that simple, Dan.
1147
01:08:22,614 --> 01:08:24,343
Take the old labor gang
and move that stuff.
1148
01:08:24,416 --> 01:08:26,247
You can take your crane and gang
and give them a hand.
1149
01:08:26,318 --> 01:08:28,479
- TITUS: Hi, Lassen.
- Hi, Sheriff.
1150
01:08:28,554 --> 01:08:30,784
- I want to talk to you.
- What about?
1151
01:08:30,856 --> 01:08:34,417
TITUS: Come on, bub.
I'm gonna give you a lesson in politics.
1152
01:08:34,493 --> 01:08:37,053
I've got some kind of bad news
about that boy of yours.
1153
01:08:37,129 --> 01:08:39,859
- BURR: Huh?
- Police picked him up in Boldon last night.
1154
01:08:39,932 --> 01:08:41,229
BURR: What for?
1155
01:08:41,300 --> 01:08:44,792
Booked him on a hit and run.
There was also a drunk-driving charge.
1156
01:08:44,870 --> 01:08:47,100
Tommy never had a drink in his whole life.
1157
01:08:47,172 --> 01:08:49,140
Saw it right there on the police blotter.
1158
01:08:49,208 --> 01:08:51,802
It's just his word
against a lot of witnesses.
1159
01:08:51,877 --> 01:08:56,246
I sure wouldn't like to take a chance on a
boy of mine going up on a charge like that.
1160
01:08:56,315 --> 01:08:59,011
What is it you want, Sheriff?
You didn't come here just to talk.
1161
01:08:59,084 --> 01:09:00,574
That's right.
1162
01:09:00,652 --> 01:09:01,914
You're gonna do something for me
1163
01:09:01,987 --> 01:09:05,479
and after that I'm going to see
that your boy gets off.
1164
01:09:06,592 --> 01:09:08,116
What is it?
1165
01:09:08,193 --> 01:09:11,560
Well, you know Dan Reynolds is
chairman of the prison board.
1166
01:09:11,630 --> 01:09:15,361
So I'm going to send you some convict
boys and a man with a gun to watch them.
1167
01:09:15,434 --> 01:09:17,925
You're gonna put them to work
without wages.
1168
01:09:18,003 --> 01:09:21,439
I won't do it. I wouldn't do anything
to hurt Dan Reynolds.
1169
01:09:22,508 --> 01:09:26,308
You and me are going to send
Dan Reynolds to jail for peonage.
1170
01:09:26,378 --> 01:09:27,436
I won't do it.
1171
01:09:27,513 --> 01:09:31,313
You'll do it, Burr, just like I'm telling you.
If you don't...
1172
01:09:32,017 --> 01:09:33,484
Come on, bub.
1173
01:09:39,925 --> 01:09:42,553
I'm not gonna go along with you
on a frame-up like that.
1174
01:09:42,628 --> 01:09:47,292
Yes, you will, bub. You'll go along
and you'll do everything just like I say.
1175
01:09:47,733 --> 01:09:52,534
You're getting soft and weak.
You're just the kind of man I like.
1176
01:09:52,604 --> 01:09:55,232
You've got that anxious,
hungry look I like to see.
1177
01:09:55,307 --> 01:09:57,537
That means you want the things
I can give you.
1178
01:09:57,609 --> 01:10:00,373
You'd rather be Governor
than anything else in the world.
1179
01:10:00,446 --> 01:10:03,609
Without me, you wouldn't be
even a deputy sheriff.
1180
01:10:05,751 --> 01:10:08,652
You'll go along, bub. You'll go along.
1181
01:10:11,690 --> 01:10:13,783
How are you, Miss Annabelle?
1182
01:10:15,094 --> 01:10:16,823
ANNABELLE: Sheriff Semple!
1183
01:10:18,864 --> 01:10:20,024
Sheriff Semple!
1184
01:10:20,099 --> 01:10:23,660
Afternoon, Miss Annabelle.
Ain't seen much of you lately.
1185
01:10:24,002 --> 01:10:26,664
You look kind of peaked. You been crying?
1186
01:10:26,738 --> 01:10:30,196
- Have you seen Field?
- Oh, some four to five days ago.
1187
01:10:31,210 --> 01:10:33,610
Papa invited some upstate bankers
for lunch to meet him.
1188
01:10:33,679 --> 01:10:35,237
And they're still at the house waiting.
1189
01:10:35,314 --> 01:10:38,340
Papa's furious!
He says he's given Field his last chance.
1190
01:10:38,417 --> 01:10:42,683
Yeah, I heard you two weren't getting
along so well, quarreling in public and all.
1191
01:10:42,754 --> 01:10:44,551
It's been worse in the last week or so.
1192
01:10:44,623 --> 01:10:47,649
Some nights he doesn't even come home
at all and when he is there,
1193
01:10:47,726 --> 01:10:52,459
he talks so crazy, about being able to tell
a governor by his anxious, hungry look.
1194
01:10:52,531 --> 01:10:54,726
I just don't know what to do!
1195
01:10:55,534 --> 01:10:58,059
You just go on home, Miss Annabelle.
1196
01:10:59,037 --> 01:11:01,369
Just leave it to me.
1197

Trying to crawl into a whiskey bottle?
1199
01:11:41,413 --> 01:11:44,541
You're drinking in kind of bad company,
ain't you, bub?
1200
01:11:44,616 --> 01:11:48,484
Look, bub.
I got you this job to help you financially.
1201
01:11:48,554 --> 01:11:52,923
That name on the door is in water color.
I could spit on it and wash it out.
1202
01:11:52,991 --> 01:11:56,449
You've turned soft in my fingers.
I made a mistake about you.
1203
01:11:56,528 --> 01:11:59,190
The only way we can tell
what a mule or a man can do
1204
01:11:59,264 --> 01:12:01,892
is to give him a field to plough.
1205
01:12:01,967 --> 01:12:03,798
The job I have got to do is too big.
1206
01:12:03,869 --> 01:12:07,270
- You're gonna throw me over, huh?
- I'm just turning you loose.
1207
01:12:07,339 --> 01:12:09,102
Well, you can't do that!
1208
01:12:09,174 --> 01:12:13,406
I don't like for people to talk to me
like the way you're doing, bub.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

01:12:15,247 --> 01:12:17,841
You're not gonna throw me out
like you did the rest of them!
1211
01:12:17,916 --> 01:12:21,579
Look, I told you, I don't like to hear
you say such things.
1212
01:12:26,258 --> 01:12:29,785
You ain't even gutsy enough
to fight an old man like me.
1213
01:12:34,299 --> 01:12:35,527
Get out!
1214
01:12:37,603 --> 01:12:38,865
Get out!
1215
01:12:47,012 --> 01:12:49,708
I told you it wasn't permanent, bub!
1216
01:13:02,294 --> 01:13:06,253
- What do you think is really happening?
- I'm not sure, but I don't like the feel of it.
1217
01:13:06,331 --> 01:13:10,324
That's the reason why I called you all here,
to see if we could figure it out together.
1218
01:13:10,402 --> 01:13:14,065
I've been sort of bird-dogging Titus
these past few days.
1219
01:13:14,139 --> 01:13:16,835
I found him in some very strange cover.
1220
01:13:17,509 --> 01:13:19,477
He's looking for trouble
and he's got a nose for it.

01:13:32,291 --> 01:13:35,783
Don't bother to tell him I'm here.
I'll go right on in.
1224
01:13:39,064 --> 01:13:42,090
- Well, how are you, boys?
- MEN: Hello, Sheriff.
1225
01:13:42,167 --> 01:13:43,964
I'm sure I never figured
to find you all here.
1226
01:13:44,036 --> 01:13:47,096
How are you, Niles? John, Ed, Leo, Tom.

01:13:49,007 --> 01:13:50,133
Hello, Titus.
1229
01:13:50,208 --> 01:13:52,506
I didn't mean to break in on you like this.
1230
01:13:52,577 --> 01:13:54,807
I didn't really think
there was no truth in it.
1231
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,280
I heard the boys were in town and up here.
1232
01:13:57,349 --> 01:13:59,840
So I says to myself,
"Why, that can't be so."
1233
01:13:59,918 --> 01:14:02,716
For years they've made it a point of
dropping around to the Palmer House
1234
01:14:02,788 --> 01:14:06,884
to say hello to me. Now, why should
they stop doing that all of a sudden?
1235
01:14:06,958 --> 01:14:10,860
So I just started wanting company and
come up to spend a little time with you.
1236
01:14:10,929 --> 01:14:12,089
DAN: We're glad to have you.

in the morning.
1239

TITUS: Yeah.
1241
01:14:19,104 --> 01:14:22,870
Boys, we ain't gonna run
Parkhurst as Governor.

- What?
- SHELTON: What do you mean?
1243
01:14:24,509 --> 01:14:25,840
Why, you're crazy!
1244
01:14:25,911 --> 01:14:27,936
You know, I let people think that
for a long time.
1245
01:14:28,013 --> 01:14:31,471
I used to like to hear them say,
"That fat, good-natured old Titus."

supposed to be laughing and happy.

All right, Titus, let's get down to it.

You still dreaming of running Carlisle
in Parkhurst's place?
1251
01:14:46,598 --> 01:14:47,792
No.
1252
01:14:48,133 --> 01:14:49,930
- Then who is it?
- It's me.
1253
01:14:50,001 --> 01:14:51,798
- You?
- I don't get it.
1254
01:14:51,870 --> 01:14:54,839
You are crazy.
You know you can't get away with it.
1255
01:14:54,906 --> 01:14:56,373
I think maybe I can.
1256
01:14:56,441 --> 01:14:58,568
I won't go along with it
and neither will my district!
1257
01:14:58,643 --> 01:15:03,376
Why, John, I figured to have you in jail
by the time the primaries come along.
1258
01:15:03,448 --> 01:15:06,440
I've been doing some rooting around
and you'd be surprised
1259
01:15:06,518 --> 01:15:09,248
the things I ran into right here
in this state.
1260
01:15:09,321 --> 01:15:12,950
There's been some unusual illegal
contracts, phony land condemnations...
1261
01:15:13,024 --> 01:15:14,048
Now see here, Titus, you...
1262
01:15:14,126 --> 01:15:17,357
Now, you were in
on that land grab, too, Ed.
1263
01:15:17,429 --> 01:15:20,057
The fact is, all of you seemed
to have got your cut of it.

01:15:20,132 --> 01:15:24,034
Now, here I have something
that will really interest you.

What's this?
1266
01:15:26,872 --> 01:15:32,105
Go ahead! Read them!
Contracts, checks, bank statements.
1267
01:15:32,177 --> 01:15:34,372
They're photostatic copies
so I've got plenty more!

Now, there ain't no use to calling names.

You see, the public are used to
having you all eat at the trough.
1272
01:15:43,188 --> 01:15:47,488
I don't know how they'll take it when
they learn you ate up the trough, too.

Nothing for me, Titus?

if you really want them!

He's been after me
ever since I came to Boldon.

He was determined to break me and
make me run away, only I wouldn't run.

- So he framed me.
- Why?

To protect his candidate's political future.

with me. You were that honest.

you'd be out of Titus's reach.

personal direction of the case
1455
01:27:19,851 --> 01:27:24,049
and he promises to press the inquiry
to the fullest. He is quoted...
1456
01:27:24,288 --> 01:27:28,384
Now, you don't believe that, do you?
Dan's too smart for any cheap graft.
1457
01:27:28,459 --> 01:27:30,950
No, I know it's a frame-up.
Field told me.
1458
01:27:31,028 --> 01:27:33,622
Did he tell you how Titus framed him?
1459
01:27:33,898 --> 01:27:36,093
That's all I could get out of him.
1460
01:27:36,167 --> 01:27:38,567
I'm not much of a man for giving advice,
Mrs. Reynolds,
1461
01:27:38,636 --> 01:27:41,161
never having been able to take it myself,
1462
01:27:41,239 --> 01:27:43,969
but I'm suggesting
that you get out of town today.
1463
01:27:44,041 --> 01:27:46,703
If you don't, Titus will drive you out.
1464
01:27:46,777 --> 01:27:49,143
How? What are you talking about?
1465
01:27:49,347 --> 01:27:51,941
Well, this morning a committee
made a call on our mayor,
1466
01:27:52,016 --> 01:27:53,449
a committee of women.
1467
01:27:53,518 --> 01:27:54,542
Yes?
1468
01:27:54,619 --> 01:27:57,816
They went there protesting
to the mayor about you.
1469
01:27:58,022 --> 01:27:59,956
But I don't understand.
1470
01:28:00,391 --> 01:28:01,688
Well, it's this way.
1471
01:28:01,759 --> 01:28:04,284
They call themselves
the Mother's Committee.
1472
01:28:04,362 --> 01:28:05,454
Tomorrow, Titus will name it
1473
01:28:05,530 --> 01:28:08,465
a spontaneous demonstration
by indignant citizens.
1474
01:28:12,637 --> 01:28:15,003
I know you're trying to help me.
1475
01:28:16,174 --> 01:28:19,109
- But I'm not running.
- Maybe you'll wish you had.
1476
01:28:19,177 --> 01:28:22,305
Titus is digging up some more
of his particular brand of dirt.
1477
01:28:22,380 --> 01:28:24,541
You'd be surprised how fast it can spread.

1481
01:28:36,327 --> 01:28:38,090
I was hoping you'd get out
before this happened.
1482
01:28:38,162 --> 01:28:41,723
It's gonna get louder, Mrs. Reynolds.
Louder and uglier!
1483

I'll stop them!
1484
01:28:47,405 --> 01:28:49,168
No, don't! That's just what the mob wants.
1485
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:52,038
Well, I'll stop them in another way.
I'll have them arrested!
1486
01:28:52,109 --> 01:28:53,838
It won't do any good. No one will come.

that demonstration controls the police.

You want me with you

Alone.
1495

Miss Bellamy, you keep surprising me.
1496
01:30:00,578 --> 01:30:04,912
Mrs. Reynolds, I mean. I keep forgetting.
I sure figured you'd be gone by now.
1497
01:30:04,982 --> 01:30:07,109
You'd have saved a heap of trouble
if you had.

Saved who, Sheriff? You or me?
1499

- I ain't never felt in need of salvation.
- Oh, but you are, Sheriff.
1500
01:30:14,558 --> 01:30:18,016
You've gotten away with the things you've
done because everyone's afraid of you.
1501
01:30:18,095 --> 01:30:20,256
Well, I'm not. Not anymore.

What you've done to me

That can't be helped. But I'm not going
to let you destroy my husband.

Miss Bellamy, I'm going to crucify you.
You and Dan both.
1505
01:30:38,983 --> 01:30:42,214
You're going to pick up that phone
and call the Attorney General.
1506
01:30:42,286 --> 01:30:45,722
You're going to tell him it was a frame-up
and that Dan is innocent.
1507
01:30:45,790 --> 01:30:48,782
Because if you don't, Sheriff, I'll kill you.

as you suggest.

planned so nice.

of the gun indicates

that it could have fallen
from Semple's hand.
