Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Sheriff Hartwell:
Aiding an escaped criminal and a little charge of kidnapping.
Fred, the Mayor:
Well, looks like about ten years a piece for you two birds.
Walter Burns:
Does it?
[unimpressed]
Hildy Johnson:
If you think you've got The Morning Post licked it's time for you to get out of town.
Fred, the Mayor:
Whistling in the dark. Well that isn't going to help you this time. You're through.
Walter Burns:
Listen the last man that said that to me was Archie Leach just a week before he cut his throat.

00:00:01.829 --> 00:00:04.354
And a little charge of kidnapping...
What's that?
00:00:04.565 --> 00:00:05.793
But that's the jail.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.265
Looks like about ten years apiece
for you two birds.
00:00:09.047 --> 00:00:12.303
When you think you've licked the Post,
it's time to get out.
00:00:12.506 --> 00:00:15.168
Whistling in the dark won't help.
You're through.
00:00:15.376 --> 00:00:18.937
Archie Leach said that to me
a week before he cut his throat.
00:00:19.146 --> 00:00:20.146
Is that so?
00:00:20.281 --> 00:00:23.341
We've been in worse jams than this,
haven't we, Hildy?
00:00:23.551 --> 00:00:26.145
You forget the power
that watches over the Post.
00:00:26.354 --> 00:00:28.788
- It's not with you now.
- Says you.
00:00:28.099 --> 00:00:30.981
I've caught him. Yes, Williams.
00:00:31.192 --> 00:00:33.066
Single-handed.
Proceed to the hanging, per schedule.
00:00:33.861 --> 00:00:35.761
You'll be in office exactly
two days more.
00:00:35.963 --> 00:00:37.931
We'll pull your nose
out of that feedbag.
00:00:38.132 --> 00:00:42.569
I tell you what you'll be doing.
Making brooms in the penitentiary.
00:00:42.077 --> 00:00:44.067
Joe? This is Hartwell.
00:00:44.272 --> 00:00:45.864
Come to my office right away.
00:00:46.073 --> 00:00:49.027
I captured a couple of important birds.
Take their confessions.
00:00:49.021 --> 00:00:50.302
Get Liebowitz.
00:00:50.511 --> 00:00:52.775
The lawyers won't help you now.
00:00:53.181 --> 00:00:54.748
You're talking to the Morning Post.
00:00:54.949 --> 00:00:56.974
The power of the press?
00:00:57.451 --> 00:01:00.545
Bigger men than you have found out
what the power of the press is.
00:01:00.755 --> 00:01:02.052
Presidents, kings...
00:01:02.256 --> 00:01:04.052
- Here's the reprieve.
- Get out.
00:01:04.999 --> 00:01:07.001
- You can't bribe me. My wife...
- Get out.
00:01:07.628 --> 00:01:10.461
- No, I won't. Here's the reprieve.
- What?
00:01:10.001 --> 00:01:12.633
I don't want to be a city sealer.
00:01:12.833 --> 00:01:14.357
- Throw him out.
- Out you go.
00:01:14.568 --> 00:01:16.399
Wait.
Who's trying to bribe you?
00:01:16.604 --> 00:01:18.001
- They wouldn't take it.
- Insane!
00:01:18.205 --> 00:01:20.196
What did I say? An unseen power.
