Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Hildy Johnson:
You write the interview yourself. You're still a good reporter.
Walter Burns:
Oh, Hildy, you know I can't write that kind of thing. It takes a woman's touch. It needs that heart...
Hildy Johnson:
Now, don't get poetic, Walter. Get Sweeney. He's the best man you've got on the paper for that sob-sister stuff.
Walter Burns:
Poor Sweeney. Duffy just told me his wife finally had twins. Isn't that terrible. Well, Sweeney went out to celebrate and now we can't find him any more. So, Sweeney has twins and Earl Williams gets hanged tomorrow.

00:00:02.763 --> 00:00:05.789
No, Bruce. If you want to save
Earl Williams' life...
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.264
...write it yourself.
You're a good reporter.
00:00:08.469 --> 00:00:11.734
I can't write that kind of thing.
It takes a woman's touch.
00:00:11.939 --> 00:00:13.839
Don't get poetic.
Get Sweeney.
00:00:14.041 --> 00:00:16.532
He's the best man for that
sob-sister stuff.
00:00:16.744 --> 00:00:20.339
Poor Sweeney. Duffy just told me
his wife finally had twins.
00:00:20.548 --> 00:00:21.548
Isn't that terrible?
00:00:21.749 --> 00:00:24.115
Sweeney went out to celebrate
and now we can't find him.
00:00:24.318 --> 00:00:26.843
So Sweeney has twins
and Williams gets hanged.
00:00:27.998 --> 00:00:28.214
Now, Walter, look.
00:00:28.422 --> 00:00:32.153
Argue with her, or you'll be on
a honeymoon with blood on your hands.
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:34.122
How can you be happy after that?
00:00:34.328 --> 00:00:37.058
You'll remember that
a man went to the gallows...
00:00:37.264 --> 00:00:39.459
...because she was too selfish
to wait two hours.
00:00:39.667 --> 00:00:42.465
Earl Williams' face will come
between you tonight...
00:00:42.067 --> 00:00:44.399
...and the rest of your life.
00:00:44.605 --> 00:00:47.001
Stop it, Walter.
The whole place will hear you.
00:00:47.241 --> 00:00:48.833
What an act.
00:00:49.999 --> 00:00:52.843
I just remembered Sweeney was only
married four months ago.
00:00:57.003 --> 00:00:58.814
Hildy, you win. I'm licked.
00:00:59.997 --> 00:01:01.886
Then Mrs. Sweeney didn't have twins?
00:01:02.999 --> 00:01:04.999
No, indeed. The twins were
Walter's, all his.
00:01:05.997 --> 00:01:06.072
It was nothing.
00:01:06.001 --> 00:01:08.999
Well, come on, let's forget it.
00:01:08.001 --> 00:01:09.001
We'll start over again.
00:01:10.013 --> 00:01:12.993
- I'll offer a business proposition.
- Not interested.
00:01:12.001 --> 00:01:13.999
You'll be interested.
00:01:13.801 --> 00:01:15.792
Don't listen to him.
I know him from way back.
00:01:16.001 --> 00:01:19.905
Excuse me, will you? I'm talking
to him. Now, look, Bruce...
00:01:20.107 --> 00:01:23.599
...persuade her and you can
write an insurance policy for me.
00:01:23.001 --> 00:01:27.956
No, Mr. Burns. I wouldn't use
my wife for business purposes.
00:01:27.214 --> 00:01:28.999
Wait a minute, Bruce.
00:01:29.001 --> 00:01:30.741
- How big a policy?
- 25,000.
00:01:30.999 --> 00:01:31.999
Fifty thousand.
