00:00Will you listen to me, you mule-headed maverick?
00:04I'm listening.
00:05He hates you, I tell you.
00:06He's himself that tried to kill you, and he'll do it again.
00:08You've got to get out of here.
00:10It took me a long time to get a coat like this.
00:12It's a small rib, a few stitches, and it'll never show.
00:15I'll send you the new one as soon as it's finished.
00:17Mike, you've convinced me.
00:19Well, have I now?
00:20I'll get your horse, Laddie Buck.
00:21I'll even ride to the end of town with you.
00:22I'm staying.
00:24What?
00:25A man like King has got to be stopped.
00:27I'm going to stop him.
00:28I don't know how, but I'm going to stop him.
00:31Well, the court will never be finished in time for the funeral.
00:58I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how, but I don't know how,
01:59Thank you, sir.
02:05Don't bother to sign. We haven't anything.
02:08I'd like something comfortable in the front.
02:11We're completely out of accommodations.
02:14I suggest you try one of the miners' boarding houses.
02:17I wonder if you'd mind keeping us safe for me, please.
02:28We'll take care of it, Mr. Maverick.
02:48Oh, oh, certainly.
02:59Well, now.
03:09Throw them down, Wiltshire.
03:15Mr. Thayer, sir. Joshua Thayer.
03:21It's against my principles to drink alone.
03:23Would you care to join me?
03:25I'd be delighted, sir.
03:29Double it is. One dollar.
03:30Arthur!
03:32Whiskey, my boy.
03:33How many times a night do I have to throw you out of here?
03:35My guest ordered whiskey. I'll have a say.
03:39Very kind of you, sir.
03:41Maverick. Brett Maverick.
03:43Extremely kind of you, Mr. Maverick.
03:45But why do you bother?
03:47No one else does.
03:49Percentage.
03:51I'm a gambler.
03:52And you ought to be able to recognize an ace deuce when you see one.
04:00There's always a natural on the bottom.
04:05I understand there's usually a big game here Saturday night.
04:09Upstairs.
04:10What's the matter, rigged?
04:14It doesn't have to be.
04:15People in this town are so used to losing the Mr. Phineas King.
04:20They do it instinctively.
04:24Phineas King, the one who owns a mine?
04:27And everything else in that Coast Springs.
04:31Including this, uh...
04:33That very excellent whiskey.
04:35Would you give my friend another drink?
04:37Thank you, sir.
04:43None for me.
04:44Double or nothing?
04:45Good night, Mr. Thayer.
04:57Good evening, sir.
05:03Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you.
05:05Now, if any of you think I was trying to run one, just look at the card.
05:09We all know you never bluffed Phineas.
05:12Oh, incidentally.
05:13Stoner was in the bank again, trying to raise some money on that mine of his.
05:16Did you give it to him?
05:17Why, of course not.
05:18You told me to be sure...
05:19All I said was that his mine is worthless, and it is.
05:22If it were, I would have absorbed it long ago.
05:24But you run the bank, continue to make your own decisions.
05:28But be careful how you handle my money.
05:31What's your business, Mr. Maverick? Mining?
05:34Grass inspector.
05:35You inspect grass?
05:37The kind that's always greener in the other fellow's yard.
05:41And you start to do a little mowing, too, occasionally, I presume.
05:45When it's green enough.
05:48Well, we can't say he didn't warn us.
05:51Anybody open?
05:53Between.
05:55I'll bet ten.
05:57Call.
05:58Call.
06:01Cards?
06:03Two.
06:06Give me one.
06:09I'll have three, please.
06:11Three.
06:15Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
06:18Three for me.
06:24Richard?
06:25I'll check the bet.
06:28Check.
06:30I bet three hundred.
06:34Uh-uh.
06:36Too rich for me.
06:38I'm out.
06:42Anybody argue with the tenfold?
06:43On a three-card draw.
06:45How do you like that?
06:47Oh, excuse me.
06:49Folding on three aces?
06:50Why, you were a very conservative poker player, Mr. Maverick.
06:54I just hate to be second best, Mr. King.
06:57The boy will have a little joke.
06:58Oh, yeah.
06:59Well, I'll keep the opener moving.
07:03I bet five hundred.
07:05Five hundred.
07:06Five hundred.
07:08Car's memory?
07:10Three.
07:11I'd like a cut.
07:13Three.
07:14Three.
07:15Three.
07:16Three.
07:17I'd like a cut.
07:35Three for me.
07:37Hmm.
07:39Two.
07:42Two.
07:44Four.
07:47One.
07:49Four.
07:50Your bet, Mr. King.
07:56I bet $1,000.
08:01I'm out of money.
08:04Oh, that's too bad.
08:05I didn't say broke, Mr. King. I said out of money.
08:09I've got $4,000 in the hotel safe.
08:12I'll settle up after the hand.
08:15I've heard that story before. I prefer to see the money.
08:18Oh, Mike, get me a piece of paper and a pencil.
08:20Sit downstairs and get the money if there is any.
08:24Write the clerk a little note, please.
08:26You know, just to keep everything open and above board.
08:50It is $4,000.
08:54$1,000, do you call or not?
09:02I called and raised $3,000.
09:07Do you call the bet, Mr. King?
09:10Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to see the money.
09:12You call the bet and I'll open the envelope.
09:27By Jonathan, Mr. Maverick, I've got to hand it to you.
09:29You were a very smart poker player.
09:31Looking right down my throat, weren't you?
09:33I could almost see what you had for lunch, Mr. King.
09:37Well, Mike, settle up with Mr. Maverick, will you?
09:42I think I've had enough tonight.
09:44It's been a very interesting evening.
09:47What are you drinking, lads, on the house?
09:59First time anyone ever tucks Meneas King's tail between his legs and tickle the shit with the end of it?
10:03Tell me, lad, was the money in the envelope or wasn't it?
10:07Mike, there's two things a gentleman doesn't discuss.
10:11The ladies he's known and his poker.
10:14Be seeing you.
10:15That you will, lad.
10:17You dropped something, mister.
10:24Who was that?
10:26I never saw him before.
10:28What did he give you?
10:29I'll be right back.
10:39Any place in town I can get a bite to eat this late?
10:42Well, the only place to open is that Chinese joint down the street.
10:45What do you think about this, Maverick?
10:47Well, it's a heck of a way to ruin a good deck of cards.
10:50Did you check out?
10:51No, I guess I should have, but I got a serious vice.
10:54Curiosity.
10:55I'd like to find out why anyone would want me out of town.
10:58But you were at the desk.
11:00Just paying two weeks' rent in advance.
11:04Maverick.
11:05I'd have been a mighty disappointed in you if you hadn't.
11:08What do you want?
11:10Oh, no.
11:30You're awake.
11:31Good.
11:32Water?
11:33you got a drink of water who are you Edie Stahler Papa and I found you in a
11:39ditch last night in case you're wondering who you are your name's Brett
11:43Maverick and you come from Chicago because it's printed on the inside of
11:46your coat thanks that that clears up a lot
11:52now if you'll tell me where I am and what I'm doing here well where else would
11:57you be in the condition you were in honestly I thought you were gonna die
12:00Papa said if you woke up I wasn't supposed to ask you a lot of questions
12:04tell you felt better but you do feel better lots better don't you now tell
12:09me what happened you were set upon by thieves weren't you thieves outlaws big
12:15hairy men with bandanas over their faces no they were attacking her weren't they
12:21her your fiance the girl you came west to marry are you married no no good then
12:28they're after your money my money my money they didn't take it Papa's got it
12:32for you thousands of dollars wait a minute if you were robbed why wouldn't
12:39they take the money you did the robbing that's it what that's Papa back from the
12:47mine scoops down and cover up and go to sleep
12:52you're sure you're not married go ahead go to sleep
13:08besides educated women don't make good wives anyhow unless you make their feet small like
13:13the Chinese so they can't run away with a French Duke or something isn't that right
13:16Mr. Maverick it's logical oh you wouldn't marry that kind of woman would you
13:20Edie clear the table well I just bet you that Mr. Maverick would much rather have a
13:24woman who could cook and and so and keep house and clear the table
13:29Edie all right send me to Boston let me marry a French Duke and lose my citizenship he doesn't care
13:35well if I'm gonna drive you to town we'd better get started if you're still of a mind to go oh thank
13:43you I never had a town pulled out from under me like that before I don't like it there are lots
13:48of other towns and vengeance is a poor reason for doing anything you weren't robbed what are you
13:53going back for answers Mr. Stoller there's someone I'm mighty anxious to get rid of me I'd like to know
13:58who and why all right out close the door you say ah ah I'm gonna ask you just one time mister who
14:14paid you to bushwhack me Mike big Mike
14:28why Mr. Maverick got

14:42that anger looks almost real it's good and real come now Mike your boys were much rougher on me
14:57my boys Pinky and I just came to an understanding why'd you have me bushwhacked

15:32I'm sorry lady book but I just had to return that lovely greeting you gave me
15:42I'd been disappointed in you if you hadn't however it makes me feel sort of stupid
15:50any man who can make his way this far back ain't stupid
15:54now as to who wanted you out of town it was Phineas King
16:00Phineas King and don't go busting on him like you did me because he'll kill you
16:04I have it done for him sure Phineas King well if you know why I wish you'd tell me
16:10because your mr. King is a card cheat and he knows I know it are you crazy he owns a
16:16town and five million dollars maybe so but he still cheats
16:20only some men drink because they have to I don't believe that cut
16:28you're holding three tens to my pair of queens

17:36well Mr. King you've gone to considerable trouble to have me moved out of your town
17:40what are you talking about
17:43a man doesn't have to be too bright to figure that when he's dragged into an alley
17:46beaten up and dumped into a ditch somebody just doesn't want him around
17:49and you think I did that
17:52that's right
17:53now look here
17:54I don't know whether you've gotten in any trouble or not

18:39do what you're getting paid to do and don't bother me with the details
18:42now you listen to me
18:52now you listen to me
18:53I don't mind doing your dirty work when there's a small profit to be made nobody gets hurt too bad

18:59not for you or for all his silver in his territory
19:01if you want Maverick killed you get somebody else to do it not me

22:38to know that Phineas King did not make any attempt to kill me today
22:43ah haha
22:44hahaha
22:52so the munich couple drag him into court
22:56on what ground?
22:57libel, defamation of character
22:58libel?
22:59What Mavericks says in that ad is absolutely true
23:02you did not make any attempt to kill him today
23:05did you?
23:06Did you?
23:07Why, certainly not.
23:08And furthermore, you'd better make it your business to see that nothing does happen to him.
23:12Because the day that ad doesn't appear in the paper,
23:15you're going to have the whole town on your doorstep demanding to know why.
23:19By heaven, you're right.
23:22But I still control this newspaper.
23:25I can have that ad refused.
23:27Can you?
23:29Well, can I?
23:33Mm-hmm.
23:36I'm worried about old Josh over there.
23:45You know, I've been thinking.
23:48Elections coming up.
23:50Supposing a couple of us were to write his name in for judge.
23:53Throw him a vote or two.
23:54Make him feel important like somebody cared.
23:58Wouldn't influence anything, but just might give him a reason to stop drinking.
24:03That's a nice thought.
24:04It's a real nice thought.
24:09I'll give you my vote.
24:10Good.
24:12Only don't tell anybody about it.
24:13Oh, no.
24:14Wouldn't want him to think it's a gag.
24:15No.
24:16Just between you and me.
24:19You and me?
24:21Funny.
24:21We'll keep it between you and me.
24:25Just the two of us.
24:26All right.
24:28Why not?
24:29Just you and me.
24:30Why not?
24:31Between you and me.
24:33Sure.
24:34Me, huh?
24:35Sure.
24:36Sure.
24:36Well, this is your night again, Richard.
24:49I anticipated a very close election.
24:52All right.
24:53Good to see you, judge.
24:54Well, another election.
24:55Same old thing.
24:57Could be worse.
24:58Yeah?
24:59How?
24:59The bulls, they actually think they're electing somebody.
25:06Maybe they are.
25:07Wish we're thinking, laddie, but you might as well have printed in the X alongside Bixby's
25:11name and save the trouble of writing.
25:12Yeah, you're right.
25:13Go on, put it up there.
25:27Let's show Judge Bixby what the town thinks of him.
25:30Ha, ha, ha, ha.
25:43Let's show Judge Bixby what the town thinks of him.
26:13You're right.
26:35Here, let me say something.
26:37Thank you very much.
26:38I didn't know I...
26:39Man.
26:39Man, I know you made a good choice.
26:42Josh here knows the law and how to use it.
26:44I believe Echo Springs has elected a wise and honest judge.
27:00I'm a drunk rat.
27:03A busted, miserable vagrant.
27:05A no-good, polluted bum.
27:09And you made me a judge.
27:12Why?
27:13You're none of those things.
27:14Oh, don't con me.
27:15I've got mine enough left to know that there's got to be an angle.
27:19Well, whatever it is, there's something you've got to know.
27:22No one has ever bought me.
27:25No one ever will.
27:26I didn't buy you, Josh.
27:28You're on your own.
27:30Strictly?
27:31You don't owe me a thing.
27:33By the way, how good are those two books on mining law you loaned me?
27:38Well, I'm not very up to date.
27:40One of them goes back about 16 years, and the other one, 25.
27:46Pretty obsolete, huh?
27:47Well, I don't know.
27:50Law's been around as long as human nature.
27:53Neither of them have ever changed very much.
27:56Yeah, well, good night, Josh.
27:59Hi.
27:59You were a judge from the moment I met you.
28:01I'm glad they finally made it official.
28:03Good night.
28:04Good night.
28:05Good night.
28:06Good night.
28:07Good night.
28:08Good night.
28:09Good night.
28:10Good night.
28:11Good night.
28:12Good night.
28:13Good night.
28:14Good night.
28:15Good night.
28:16Good night.

28:49yours that's right you're all adjacent to king's holdings sure it's all the same hill only king
28:55gets the corn and we get the shuckings what's your proposition maverick well i know how you
29:00want some cake later edie when we're through talking oh you can eat and talk too you always do
29:05let's have it maverick i know how you can beat king i know how you can increase the yields of
29:11your minds to equal if not outproduce king himself how do we do it maverick well first we form a
29:20company then when the
29:22they wouldn't have a nerve of
29:28they wouldn't have a nerve they're mining your or and stealing my money wholesale judging by the
29:57deposits in the bank last month i told you so i've got an instinct about people that maverick's a
30:03crook i'll have them all behind bars money my silver the thieves and you what am i paying you
30:10for you're supposed to be my lawyer stop them get an injunction out against every one of them
30:14take them into court hang them then as the result of your professional exploration survey soundings
30:24etc you are certain beyond any doubt that the new hope interests are in actuality mining through
30:32mr king's property obviously thank you that is all your honor you may question the witness mr maverick
30:42no questions your honor you may take your seat
30:47mr maverick are you certain that you do not need to be represented by train council quite certain sir
30:57but so far mr maverick you have not challenged the statement of a single witness
31:02i can't their statements are unchallengeable well then call your witnesses i can't do that either
31:11we haven't any then you admit you're stealing mr king's ore now hold on there stealing means taking
31:19something that you have no right to and we have every right to mine that ore regardless of whose property
31:24we go through you have the right to legally penetrate into land owned by phineas king remove the ore from
31:34that land smelter and pocket the silver extracted from that ore mr king's ore mr king has no claim to the
31:43silver we mine according to the law the answer is yes according to the law you say the federal mining
31:50laws of this country specifically the apex law the apex law to any prospector who first locates an
31:59outcropping mineral vein such surface indication of the ore to be known as the apex of the vein
32:05said owner is guaranteed the right to follow that vein downward even when it leads under the holdings
32:10of claims located beside it and that's all we're doing your honor following our original veins which
32:18according to this law and that map we have every legally guaranteed right to do
32:22your honor your honor this is as foul and deliberative piece of legal hocus-pocus as i have ever
32:34witnessed veins are never continuous they're always broken or cut off and terminated by worthless rock
32:42this shabby charlatan is using a ridiculous archaic conception disproved by every mining authority
32:49in existence the apex law is outmoded it's a useless piece of legal shale absolutely and utterly obsolete
32:57but never repealed we stand on the law your honor
33:06this court is recessed until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
33:19come in evening judge hello phineas you know i got a little bit worried josh
33:27your decision tomorrow can cost me an awful lot of money it's costing me an awful lot of sleep
33:32well of course i realize that you're obligated to brent maverick but uh oh no offense no offense
33:37it's perfectly natural after all he did get you elected and a lot more
33:41and if ever i can do him a favor i'll do it outside the courtroom well you know that claim
33:49of his is as asinine as the law he's evoked to support it i'll acquaint you with what i know
33:54tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock phineas i see well that's a long time to wait considering what's at stake
34:02josh
34:09no thanks no suit yourself
34:21you know i'm liable to lay awake all night worrying give almost anything to get a good night's sleep
34:28maybe even a hundred thousand dollars hundred thousand dollars
34:39think it over just keep running with your research good night
34:58you know
35:04please rise
35:28It is the decision of this court that there is no legal cause for injunction against the operations of the New Hope Mining Company.
35:58I've done dang few smart things in my life, but when I pulled this young fellow out of the ditch, I sure did us all a favor.
36:11What's the trouble?
36:12We just came from the Red Rock Station. Guess who just boarded the train for the territorial seat?
36:17Bixby.
36:18How'd you know?
36:19King's bound to appeal to the higher courts to reverse Thayer's decision. Bixby's off to put the pressure on.
36:25Not a fat chance they got.
36:27Very fat, Mike. They'll win it.
36:36Any news from Bixby on the mail train this morning?
36:38No, Mr. King.
36:39No.
36:40Sitting here helpless while Maverick and those crooks are robbing me blind.
36:44And not only that, they're stealing our miners.
36:46Ten hours a day instead of twelve.
36:48And ten cents more an hour.
36:50And with my money!
36:51Until we get a decision, we could meet the competition.
36:55Raise wages.
36:56Reduce hours.
36:58Reduce hours?
36:59Me?
37:00I will not.
37:01It's bad enough being robbed without giving money away.
37:03Besides, it's immoral.
37:04Immoral?
37:05Working ten hours a day.
37:06You can only sleep eight hours.
37:08What do they do with the other six?
37:11I've got it, Fanley.
37:12We've got them late.
37:14Harris!
37:15And your total profit thus far is slightly in excess of $600,000.
37:22And not a word from Phineas.
37:25Not a thief!
37:26What can he do?
37:27If that's what gets me, what can he do?
37:30$600,000.
37:32That's trouble.
37:34Big trouble.
37:36The mines!
37:37They're flooding the mines!
37:39The water's coming down in sheets.
37:40Coming down from where?
37:41The silver lady, all the king's tunnels.
37:43King flooded his own mines?
37:45Right into ours!
37:46There's your answer, Jackson.
37:47Now we know what he can do.
37:48Flood our mines and keep them closed until he gets that court decision.
37:51Very good, Sir.
37:52Sit down.
37:53Hey!
37:54Hey, get down.
37:55Hey!
37:56Hey!
37:58Hey!
37:59Hey!
38:00Hey!
38:01Hey!
38:02Hey!
38:03Oh man!
38:04Hey!
38:05Hey!
38:06Hey!
38:07Hey!
38:08Hey!
38:09Hey!
38:10Listen to this one!
38:13The lady said, no, I ain't going buggy riding.
38:15You read that one yesterday.
38:16Yeah, yeah, I guess I did.
38:17Yeah, yeah, I guess I did.
38:19Of course you've been hanging around here so much lately, where I forget.
38:22Not much else to do.
38:23Mine shut down, town wearing black crepe.
38:26Yeah, it's getting ugly.
38:28A lot of bad feeling building up towards your friend Maverick.
38:31Well, why Maverick?
38:32King flooded the mines.
38:34Maverick started it, and they blame him.
38:36It don't take long for hungry men to get violent.
38:38And when that happens, they'll go after his scalp first.
38:47Bad news, Mike.
39:05Listen.
39:07Verdict today assured.
39:09Maverick and New Hope finished.
39:11Returning noon train tomorrow.
39:13Bixby.
39:15Willie!
39:15Willie!
39:17Willie!
39:19Now, where is that Willie?
39:26Willie!
39:36Verdict today assured.
39:38Maverick and New Hope.
39:39finished.
39:47Returning noon train tomorrow.
39:48Bixby.
39:49So help me, Willie.
39:50The next time I find you asleep, you're fired.
39:52Now, you get that message over to Mr. King's office right away.
39:54We've got him, boys.
40:04Brett Maverick will be lucky to leave this town alive.
40:20Brett!
40:21Brett!
40:21Brett!
40:22No shot, Mike.
40:24You make me nervous.
40:25You've got reason to be nervous, boy.
40:26That mob out there's meat eaters, and you're the meat.
40:28You've got to get out of this town.
40:30I tried.
40:31They got the place surrounded.
40:33Did they get a wire from Bixby yet?
40:35I couldn't snatch it like you wanted, Brett, but I did fix it up a little.
40:38King won all right.
40:39Fix it how?
40:41Well, now it reads like maybe King lost.
40:42You sure he'll think that?
40:45Oh, he'll think it all right, but only until tomorrow until Bixby gets here.
40:48Thought he'd give you time to pack up and get.
40:52Mike, did anyone ever tell you you were beautiful?
40:54Huh?
40:55Come on.
41:02There he is.
41:05They got him.
41:07All right, now, all right, now.
41:08Keep going, I'll get him in.
41:09All right, boys, now, what's the problem?
41:12Don't con us, Maverick.
41:13You're leaving town.
41:14Now, you got yours.
41:15Now, we're going to take ours.
41:16Now, wait.
41:17The world's a mine and threw us out of work.
41:18Hey, wait, wait.
41:19Hey, look at this.
41:21This is a $1,000 bill.
41:24You listen to me, and when I get through up here, if there's a man among you who doesn't
41:27like what I said, he can come up here and claim this bill.
41:29Go on, Maverick.
41:30Tell us where you suckers you made out of us.
41:33What?
41:33You were getting rich enough to wave that in our face.
41:35I'm not rich.
41:36I've never been in this for the money.
41:38This started out as a battle for rights.
41:39Yours, mine, everyone's.
41:41but it's gotten out of hand and both Phineas King and I realize it
41:45and I'll tell you something else I was wrong about Phineas King he's a fine man
41:51wait he fights and he fights hard but not at the expense of defenseless employees whose interest
41:59is always the first consideration and I'll tell you something even more important the mines are
42:05going to open who's he talking about what does he mean the mines are going to open
42:11as you all know the issue is still in the courts how long it will take to get a decision is always
42:18unpredictable you men have to work and you're going to work because Phineas King and the new
42:24hope company of independent miners are about to merge yes sir we're gonna be partners and that's
42:37not all at mr. King's insistence all the reforms innovated by the new hope company including the
42:4410 cent an hour raise and the shorter hours are to be included in the agreement he wouldn't have it any
42:53other way I'm going over to mr. King's office now and drop the papers when you see us together in that
43:03window you'll know it's official
43:17mergers raises shorter hours and I'm to agree to that oh if he asked me if he
43:23dares to come up here and ask me so help me I'll kill him come on no no no Phineas come in
43:30telegram Mr. King now wait a minute I'm sorry I'm late I didn't know it was that important
43:36here what does it say read it what do you think I'm gonna do you next to poop
43:40verdict today assured Maverick a new hope
43:45finished they upheld Maverick we're finished returning noon train tomorrow fix me enjoy the
43:53show Phineas boy you you heard what I told him how does it sound like the rattle of a diamondback
43:57if you think you could blackmail me to that kind of lost wait a minute I've just given those men out
44:02there mighty glowing description of you Phineas you wouldn't want to disillusion them if I were to tell
44:07them you backed out now back out I promised them nothing and I just as soon merged with a nest of
44:12rattlesnakes as you and your thieving conspirators look you lose more every day those mines remain
44:17closed and this agreement would cost you in a month it's worth it worth it to see men out of work
44:23families going hungry your fortune is built on their discoveries they're entitled to some
44:28consideration yeah sure half of everything I own I suppose nothing of what you own all they ask for
44:35in this contract is just enough to get along five percent of the future profits of the combined
44:39companies huh five percent oh and who gets the other ninety five percent you I'm pulling out of
44:48Echo Springs tomorrow thought that might be an added inducement I wish I could believe that well what'll
44:54it be Phineas do you sign or do we go out there and tell those men you refuse and wait for the
45:00decision of the higher court this decision oh yeah yes yes of course um hmm yeah what do you think we ought to do
45:11oh I think it's a marriage of the truth five percent isn't such a bad proposition after all I knew you would
45:19see it that way oh here he is here he is men here's our man
