Well, uh, yeah.
Yeah, I'’ve glanced at it.
174
00:09:10,114 --> 00:09:12,290
I thought you said
this girl couldn'’t write.
175
00:09:12,334 --> 00:09:14,597
Why, she can write
rings around you.
176
00:09:14,641 --> 00:09:16,599
Oh, well, I'’d, uh--
I'’d hardly say that, Colonel.
177
00:09:16,643 --> 00:09:18,601
No. But I would.
178
00:09:18,645 --> 00:09:20,516
This stuff'’s got punch.
179
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,083
That crack
about family silver--
180
00:09:22,126 --> 00:09:23,998
that'’s hitting us
right where we live.
181
00:09:24,041 --> 00:09:25,913
Well, maybe it made her mad,
trying to buy her off.
182
00:09:25,956 --> 00:09:27,262
Went against her principles.
183
00:09:27,305 --> 00:09:29,264
Principles, my foot!
184
00:09:29,307 --> 00:09:32,354
A man owes nothing
to anybody in the world
but himself.
185
00:09:32,397 --> 00:09:34,791
All he has to do
is follow the dictates
of his conscience.
186
00:09:34,835 --> 00:09:37,402
Just remember that.Thanks, Colonel.
187
00:09:37,446 --> 00:09:39,361
I will remember that.See that you do.
188
00:09:39,404 --> 00:09:41,363
Now go ahead
and write a rebuttal
for tomorrow'’s issue,
189
00:09:41,406 --> 00:09:43,278
and see that you make it
better than this.

00:09:43,321 --> 00:09:45,367
All I'’m paying you.Look, Colonel,

00:09:45,410 --> 00:09:47,151
any time you'’re not
satisfied with my work,
192
00:09:47,195 --> 00:09:48,805
you can have my resignation.
193
00:09:48,849 --> 00:09:51,199
Oh, no, you don'’t.
You'’re under contract.
194

Yes, keep going right in there.
203
00:10:50,911 --> 00:10:53,478
And I say to you
good people of Nevada,
204
00:10:53,522 --> 00:10:55,437
send me to Washington,
205
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,875
and I will raise silver up
from the doldrums.
206
00:10:58,919 --> 00:11:00,703
How?
207
00:11:00,747 --> 00:11:03,271
By reopening the mines
208
00:11:03,314 --> 00:11:05,708
and allowing
our precious white metal
209
00:11:05,752 --> 00:11:08,363
to pour out from
its bountiful source,

thus restoring our prosperity.
212
00:11:12,976 --> 00:11:16,719
And that, my friends,
is a promise.
213
00:11:16,763 --> 00:11:18,939
Like the other promises
you made, Colonel?
214
00:11:18,982 --> 00:11:21,115
Yeah! What about them?
215
00:11:21,158 --> 00:11:25,162
[ murmuring ]I have no idea what promises
you are referring to.

you would.

That ain'’t what the Newssays.

It says you oughta know
the meaning of free silver,

Well, if it isn'’t my
distinguished rival.
226
00:12:09,816 --> 00:12:12,819
I can'’t wait to read
the Tribune'’saccount
of the rally last night.
227
00:12:12,862 --> 00:12:14,995
Was the Colonel pleased?
228
00:12:15,038 --> 00:12:16,387
Well, if he were,
I wouldn'’t be here to offer you
229
00:12:16,431 --> 00:12:19,260
10,000 cash for the News.
230
00:12:19,303 --> 00:12:22,698
10,000.
He is getting scared.
231
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:25,266
Scared?
Well, confidentially,
232
00:12:25,309 --> 00:12:27,181
with the election so close,
the Colonel'’s panicky.
233
00:12:27,224 --> 00:12:29,618
Uh, by the way,
how did you manage to dig up
234
00:12:29,661 --> 00:12:31,838
all that stuff
you printed about him?
235
00:12:31,881 --> 00:12:36,016
Oh, all you have to do
is look at his record.
236
00:12:36,059 --> 00:12:39,280
Well, it'’s certainly a side
I hadn'’t looked at before.
237
00:12:39,323 --> 00:12:42,022
Well, now that you'’ve seen it,
why do you continue
working for him?
238
00:12:42,065 --> 00:12:44,285
Oh, well, I'’ve learned
a lot from the Colonel
239
00:12:44,328 --> 00:12:46,548
about principles and things.
240
00:12:46,591 --> 00:12:48,680
Besides, I'’m under contract.

Now, I have here

for $10,000.

Maybe you don'’t have
any principles,

but I have,
and they'’re not for sale.

Rusty, I want you
to write me an article

for the front page
of tomorrow'’s issue

Yes.
He tried to buy us out.

Doesn'’t want
any paper in this town
but his own mouthpiece.

Come on. I want you
to tell our readers, though.
And no punches pulled.

Uh-huh.
I guess so.

Write it.

of the right words
to express myself.

Well, use the words
you always do.

Yes, but this is
something special.

The Colonel tried
to buy the News,

and Laura wants a piece
for the front page.

She'’s a fool!
She should'’ve sold out.

I go to a lot of trouble
to build the Newsup
271
00:14:25,603 --> 00:14:28,737
so it'’ll be a threat
to the Colonel, and then
she turns down his deal.
272
00:14:28,780 --> 00:14:31,696
That $10,000
would'’ve gotten her out of debt,
would'’ve put her on easy street.

And put the Colonel
into the United States Senate.

to blast the Colonel

00:19:51,407 --> 00:19:52,974
She had her chance to sell!
343
00:19:53,017 --> 00:19:55,716
Why, you hypocritical
old goat!
344
00:20:08,381 --> 00:20:10,731
[ chattering ]
345
00:20:12,341 --> 00:20:14,300
Tough luck, Rusty.
346
00:20:14,343 --> 00:20:17,041
Well, Mike, at least
you won'’t have to worry
347
00:20:17,085 --> 00:20:21,437
about writing any more
editorials for the News.
348
00:20:21,481 --> 00:20:22,917
Hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
349
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,093
The press room'’s made
of brick, isn'’t it?
350
00:20:25,136 --> 00:20:27,748
Sure.You know, it just might
still be all right.
351
00:20:27,791 --> 00:20:29,924
Why don'’t we go
have a look?Yeah.
352
00:20:29,967 --> 00:20:32,709
I stay here.
Much cooler.
353
00:20:46,288 --> 00:20:47,550
Mike, let'’s get
out of here.
354
00:20:47,594 --> 00:20:50,249
The bricks are sizzling hot.
We'’ll fry.
355
00:20:54,122 --> 00:20:57,168
Well, the type
looks all right.
356
00:20:57,212 --> 00:20:58,605
Ah.
357
00:21:00,041 --> 00:21:01,695
So is the newsprint.
358
00:21:09,311 --> 00:21:12,140
The press
looks all right too.
359
00:21:12,183 --> 00:21:14,447
It'’s hot, but it looks
like it'’ll work.
360
00:21:14,490 --> 00:21:16,449
[ chattering continues ]
361
00:21:16,492 --> 00:21:18,755
I'’m sorry, Miss Laura.
362
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:21,976
Thanks, Joe.
Where'’s Rusty?
363
00:21:22,019 --> 00:21:24,718
He in pressroom with Mike.
364
00:21:24,761 --> 00:21:26,241
Mike?
365
00:21:30,506 --> 00:21:32,769
Come on, Rusty. Come on.
Let'’s go get Joe.
366
00:21:34,989 --> 00:21:37,470
Well, you'’ve certainly
got a lot of gall
coming back here.
367
00:21:37,513 --> 00:21:39,820
Look, I'’m glad you're here.
We'’re gonna need
everyone'’s help to do this.
368
00:21:39,863 --> 00:21:41,865
Do what?Well, get out
the morning paper,
369
00:21:41,909 --> 00:21:44,259
air the scandal
before the campaign special
gets rolling.
370
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:45,782
Now, I'’m gonna need some
wet blankets-- about six--
371
00:21:45,826 --> 00:21:47,828
and some rags and gloves.
372
00:21:47,871 --> 00:21:50,396
And, Joe, you and Rusty,
see if you can get me
some washtubs full of water
373
00:21:50,439 --> 00:21:52,049
and bring them up here
in a hurry.
374
00:21:52,093 --> 00:21:53,834
Wait. What shenanigan
are you talking about,
375
00:21:53,877 --> 00:21:56,010
getting out the Newsafter you
just about burned it down?
376
00:21:56,053 --> 00:21:57,968
I'’m afraid you've got me
confused with Smoky Hoag.
377
00:21:58,012 --> 00:21:59,796
The sheriff'’s already
looking for him.
378
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,494
I saw you coming out
of the building.
379
00:22:01,537 --> 00:22:04,540
Miss Frick, a good reporter
never goes by appearances.
380
00:22:04,584 --> 00:22:06,150
Now get me those blankets!
381
00:22:06,194 --> 00:22:08,457
And some paper and pencil
so I can write the copy.
382
00:22:08,501 --> 00:22:11,242
We'’re perfectly capable
of writing our own copy,
thank you.
383
00:22:11,286 --> 00:22:13,810
Oh, no, Miss Laura,
we aren'’t.
384
00:22:13,854 --> 00:22:16,509
What? Well, you see,
385
00:22:16,552 --> 00:22:19,425
all the time you thought
it was me, but it was--
386
00:22:19,468 --> 00:22:22,602
You mean you'’vebeen
writing the copy
387
00:22:22,645 --> 00:22:25,909
that he'’sbeen writing?
388
00:22:25,953 --> 00:22:28,085
Well, I'’m, uh--
I'’m afraid so.
389
00:22:28,129 --> 00:22:30,566
That very funny.
390
00:22:30,610 --> 00:22:33,090
Funny?
Well, it'’s absolut--
391
00:22:33,134 --> 00:22:35,005
I'’ve never been so--
392
00:22:35,049 --> 00:22:37,007
Rusty, how could you do--
393
00:22:37,051 --> 00:22:38,705
How many blankets?
394
00:22:41,185 --> 00:22:42,448
Uh, six.
395
00:22:42,491 --> 00:22:45,364
Six. Six.
396
00:22:45,407 --> 00:22:47,061
All right, boys.
Get going.
397
00:22:54,285 --> 00:22:56,810
This is really
what you'’d call
a "red-hot edition."
398
00:22:56,853 --> 00:22:59,378
It'’s not the best
printing job in the world.
399
00:22:59,421 --> 00:23:01,423
Yeah, but good enough
to defeat Colonel Emmett.
400
00:23:01,467 --> 00:23:03,686
All right, Joe,
run '’em off.Yes, sir.
401
00:23:14,654 --> 00:23:17,134
Ohhh.
402
00:23:20,268 --> 00:23:22,313
Mike...
403
00:23:22,357 --> 00:23:25,578
why did you write
those editorials?
404
00:23:25,621 --> 00:23:28,537
Well, I didn'’t have
anything else to do
with my spare moments.
405
00:23:28,581 --> 00:23:30,452
No girl to take out.
406
00:23:30,496 --> 00:23:31,932
Why, Mike?
407
00:23:33,847 --> 00:23:37,807
Well, first of all,
because I felt sorry for you.
408
00:23:37,851 --> 00:23:40,331
[ chuckles ]
You know, you are
a terrible writer.
409
00:23:40,375 --> 00:23:42,899
And then,
410
00:23:42,943 --> 00:23:44,553
because I discovered
the Colonel
411
00:23:44,597 --> 00:23:47,556
really needed exposing.
412
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,253
And finally...
413
00:23:49,297 --> 00:23:51,473
Finally?
414
00:23:51,517 --> 00:23:55,085
Uh, well, finally,
because I--
415
00:23:55,129 --> 00:23:58,654
I happen to be
in love with you.
416
00:23:58,698 --> 00:24:01,483
Look me in the eyes
and say that.
417
00:24:01,527 --> 00:24:04,443
I love you, Laura.Is this a proposal?
418
00:24:04,486 --> 00:24:06,227
Well, I'’ll-- I'll get
the ring tomorrow morning.
419
00:24:06,270 --> 00:24:08,229
A gold ring.
420
00:24:08,272 --> 00:24:10,449
[ laughs ]
Is there anything else?
421
00:24:10,492 --> 00:24:12,538
There certainly is.
422
00:24:22,765 --> 00:24:24,854
Well, the moral
of this story,
423
00:24:24,898 --> 00:24:26,334
as Colonel Emmett learned
424
00:24:26,377 --> 00:24:28,771
when the election returns
came in, was:
425
00:24:28,815 --> 00:24:30,947
You can fool some of the people
all of the time,
426
00:24:30,991 --> 00:24:32,732
and all of the--
427
00:24:32,775 --> 00:24:34,908
Well, you know the rest.
428
00:24:34,951 --> 00:24:37,476
Oh, yes, there'’s another moral
to this story.
429
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:40,870
Always read both sides
of the news.
