McCue, reporter:
Pete, why can't you hang this guy at 5 o'clock instead of 7?
Bensinger:
Sure, it won't hurt you and we can make the City Edition.
Sheriff Hartwell:
Oh, well, now that's kind of raw, Roy. After all, I can't hang a man in his sleep just to please a newspaper.

- Pete?
- What?
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.731
Why can't you hang this guy at
five o'clock instead of seven?
00:00:06.938 --> 00:00:09.805
It won't hurt you, and
we can make the city edition.
00:00:10.997 --> 00:00:11.304
That's kind of raw, Roy...
00:00:11.509 --> 00:00:14.001
...hanging a man in his sleep
to please a newspaper.
00:00:14.245 --> 00:00:17.646
But you can reprieve him twice
so he hangs three days before election.
00:00:17.849 --> 00:00:19.976
And you can run on a
law-and-order ticket.
00:00:20.184 --> 00:00:22.948
I had absolutely nothing
to do with those reprieves.
00:00:23.154 --> 00:00:25.179
How do we know there won't
be another tonight?
00:00:25.389 --> 00:00:27.414
What if Egelhoffer
finds Williams insane?
00:00:27.625 --> 00:00:31.022
He won't find him insane, because
he isn't. He's just as sane as I am.
00:00:31.429 --> 00:00:32.828
Saner!
00:00:33.001 --> 00:00:35.624
Be serious, boys.
After all, this is a hanging.
00:00:35.833 --> 00:00:37.733
And it's going to go
according to schedule.
00:00:37.935 --> 00:00:40.369
Seven o'clock in the morning
and not a minute earlier.
00:00:40.571 --> 00:00:42.869
There's such a thing as
being humane, you know.
00:00:43.998 --> 00:00:45.027
All right, Pinky.
Wait until you want a favor.
