1
00:01:04,464 --> 00:01:07,228
Do you want to stand alone
against the whole world?

2
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,766
There's no place
for originality in architecture.

3
00:01:09,936 --> 00:01:13,702
Nobody can improve on the buildings of the
past. One can only learn to copy them.

4
00:01:13,873 --> 00:01:16,433
We've tried to teach you
the accepted historical styles.

5
00:01:16,609 --> 00:01:19,942
You refuse to learn. You won't consider
anybody's judgment but your own.

6
00:01:20,113 --> 00:01:23,605
You insist on designing buildings
that look like nothing ever built before.

7
00:01:23,783 --> 00:01:27,219
This school has no choice
but to expel you.

8
00:01:27,387 --> 00:01:31,050
It is my duty as your dean
to say you will never become an architect.

9
00:01:31,224 --> 00:01:34,193
You can't hope to survive
unless you learn how to compromise.

10
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,261
Watch me. In just a few short years
I'll shoot to the top...

11
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:40,695
...of the profession because
I'm gonna give the public what it wants.

12
00:01:40,867 --> 00:01:42,562
You'll never get anywhere.

13
00:01:42,735 --> 00:01:45,033
So you want to work
for Henry Cameron, huh?

14
00:01:45,205 --> 00:01:47,833
Oh, I know. He was a great
architect 30 years ago.

15
00:01:48,007 --> 00:01:49,804
But he fought for modern
architecture...

16
00:01:49,976 --> 00:01:51,967
...and he's done for. What do you get?

17
00:01:52,145 --> 00:01:53,612
Why do you wanna work for me?

18
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:56,146
You're setting out to ruin yourself.
You know that?

19
00:01:56,316 --> 00:01:59,308
I ought to throw you out of here
right now before it's too late.

20
00:01:59,486 --> 00:02:02,080
L... I wish I'd done this
at your age.

21
00:02:02,255 --> 00:02:03,688
Why did you have to come to me?

22
00:02:03,857 --> 00:02:06,325
I'm perfectly happy
with the drooling dolts I've got.

23
00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:09,291
I don't want any fool visionaries
starving around here.

24
00:02:09,462 --> 00:02:11,293
You're an egotist. You're impertinent.

25
00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:13,557
You're too sure of yourself.

26
00:02:13,833 --> 00:02:18,133
Twenty years ago, I'd have punched
your face with the greatest of pleasure.

27
00:02:18,938 --> 00:02:22,840
You're coming to work for me
tomorrow morning at 9:00.

28
00:02:23,009 --> 00:02:26,445
No, no, no.
Now, leave these here. Now get out.

29
00:02:27,747 --> 00:02:29,339
Wait.
What's your name?

30
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:32,313
Howard Roark.

31
00:02:43,897 --> 00:02:46,263
Paper here. Read all about it.
Paper, mister?

32
00:02:46,432 --> 00:02:48,423
<i>Get your morning Banner.
Read all about it.</i>

33
00:02:48,601 --> 00:02:50,432
<i>Morning Banner.
Paper, mister?</i>

34
00:02:50,603 --> 00:02:52,298
<i>Get your Banner.
Read all about it.</i>

35
00:02:52,472 --> 00:02:54,770
<i>Morning Banner, sir.
Read all about it.</i>

36
00:02:54,941 --> 00:02:56,932
Give me that paper.

37
00:03:00,346 --> 00:03:02,576
Now give me another one.

38
00:03:04,684 --> 00:03:06,083
Give me all of them.

39
00:03:06,419 --> 00:03:09,411
I said, give me all of them.

40
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:14,157
You... You all think
I'm beaten, don't you?

41
00:03:14,327 --> 00:03:19,094
That's all the money I've got,
but I can still do this with my money.

42
00:03:19,265 --> 00:03:22,029
I can still do this...

43
00:03:23,036 --> 00:03:29,532
Howard. Look at... Look here.
In this paper, won't you...

44
00:03:41,054 --> 00:03:45,388
It's no use, Howard.
Why don't you give up?

45
00:03:49,429 --> 00:03:51,021
Come inside.

46
00:03:51,497 --> 00:03:53,897
It's no use.

47
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:57,161
You... You took over
when I gave it up.

48
00:03:57,337 --> 00:04:00,465
My... My heir, eh?
And look at it.

49
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,699
You haven't got
any further than I did...

50
00:04:02,875 --> 00:04:04,570
...and you won't.
- We'll see.

51
00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:06,871
How many years have you
been on your own now?

52
00:04:07,046 --> 00:04:09,241
And what have you got
to show for it?

53
00:04:09,616 --> 00:04:13,279
You've done four buildings
in all these years.

54
00:04:13,453 --> 00:04:16,047
That's quite a good deal
to show for it.

55
00:04:16,356 --> 00:04:20,019
After the kind of struggle you've had?

56
00:04:20,193 --> 00:04:24,152
I didn't expect it to be easy,
but those who want me will come to me.

57
00:04:24,330 --> 00:04:28,266
They don't want you, son. Don't you
understand? This is what they want.

58
00:04:29,836 --> 00:04:32,236
<i>Gail Wynand's Banner the foulest
newspaper on earth.</i>

59
00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:34,703
You hold to your own ideas
and you'll starve.

60
00:04:34,874 --> 00:04:37,035
Gail Wynand gives people
what they ask for:

61
00:04:37,210 --> 00:04:39,269
The common, the vulgar,
and the trite.

62
00:04:39,445 --> 00:04:41,606
And he's maybe the most
powerful man living.

63
00:04:41,781 --> 00:04:44,181
- Can you fight that?
- I never notice it.

64
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:49,915
Look. You see those people down there?
You know what they think of architecture?

65
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:54,488
I don't care what they think
of architecture or anything else.

66
00:04:54,761 --> 00:04:58,060
L... I don't want to see
what they'll do to you.

67
00:04:58,231 --> 00:04:59,823
Me, I am... I'm through.

68
00:05:00,667 --> 00:05:02,191
I've had enough.

69
00:05:02,368 --> 00:05:06,737
I don't want any part
of Gail Wynand's city!

70
00:05:21,421 --> 00:05:22,649
Get me an ambulance.

71
00:05:27,226 --> 00:05:29,091
Howard, look
at those buildings.

72
00:05:29,262 --> 00:05:33,722
Skyscrapers, the greatest structural
invention of man.

73
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:36,994
Yet they made them
look like Greek temples...

74
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:43,109
...Gothic cathedrals and mongrels
of every ancient style they could borrow...

75
00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:46,177
...just because others had done it.
I told them.

76
00:05:46,512 --> 00:05:51,176
I told them that the form of a building
must follow its function.

77
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:53,979
That new materials demand new forms.

78
00:05:54,153 --> 00:05:57,452
That one building can't borrow
pieces of another's shape...

79
00:05:57,623 --> 00:06:00,990
...just as one man can't
borrow another's soul.

80
00:06:01,961 --> 00:06:07,866
Howard, every new idea in the world
comes from the mind of some one man...

81
00:06:08,034 --> 00:06:10,366
...and you know the price
he has to pay for it?

82
00:06:14,774 --> 00:06:16,639
I built that.

83
00:06:17,677 --> 00:06:20,544
Howard, you do me a favor.

84
00:06:20,713 --> 00:06:24,171
All my things that you're keeping
for me, I want you to burn them.

85
00:06:24,751 --> 00:06:29,552
All my... My papers,
my drawings, my contracts.

86
00:06:29,722 --> 00:06:32,350
- Everything. Burn them, will you?
- Yes.

87
00:06:32,725 --> 00:06:35,091
I don't want to leave anything
to the world.

88
00:06:35,261 --> 00:06:38,196
How sorry, I'm leaving you
to face them.

89
00:06:38,364 --> 00:06:41,629
Howard, it's no use!

90
00:06:42,735 --> 00:06:46,171
Give in. Compromise.
Compromise now.

91
00:06:46,339 --> 00:06:48,068
You'll have to later, anyway.

92
00:06:48,307 --> 00:06:50,935
Why are you saying that to me?
That's not what you did.

93
00:06:51,110 --> 00:06:53,101
That's why I'm saying it.

94
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,214
Because it's not what I did.

95
00:06:56,382 --> 00:06:58,850
Do you want to end up this way?

96
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:00,280
It's your future.

97
00:07:00,453 --> 00:07:02,546
- Do you want it?
- Yes.

98
00:07:03,890 --> 00:07:08,918
Then may God bless you, Howard.
You're on your way into hell.

99
00:07:36,823 --> 00:07:40,088
- Hello, Howard.
- Hello, Peter.

100
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:45,557
Just passing by. Thought I'd drop in.
I haven't seen you for such a long time.

101
00:07:46,032 --> 00:07:48,557
Did you know Guy Francon
made me his partner last week?

102
00:07:48,734 --> 00:07:49,996
No.

103
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:53,871
You see, you don't keep track
of my career, but I've watched yours.

104
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,634
Yes, it's Francon and Keating now.

105
00:07:56,809 --> 00:08:00,006
I don't have to tell you that Guy Francon
is the leading architect.

106
00:08:00,179 --> 00:08:02,170
No, you don't have to.

107
00:08:02,648 --> 00:08:05,708
Remember? I told you once I'd rise.

108
00:08:09,722 --> 00:08:11,314
<i>- Hello?
- Western Union?</i>

109
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:13,686
No. You have
the wrong number.

110
00:08:14,427 --> 00:08:16,725
Are you waiting for
something, Howard?

111
00:08:17,463 --> 00:08:19,624
You were telling me
about Guy Francon.

112
00:08:19,799 --> 00:08:23,098
I was just reminding you
of what I once predicted.

113
00:08:23,269 --> 00:08:25,430
I hate to see you brought down to this.

114
00:08:25,605 --> 00:08:26,867
Remember how we started?

115
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:29,371
And look at us now.
Haven't you had enough of it?

116
00:08:30,409 --> 00:08:31,706
Why did you
come here, Peter?

117
00:08:32,979 --> 00:08:34,276
Because we're old friends...

118
00:08:34,447 --> 00:08:36,813
...and I hate to see you being beaten.
- I'm not.

119
00:08:36,983 --> 00:08:38,610
Oh, it's no use pretending now.

120
00:08:38,784 --> 00:08:40,615
You haven't had any clients for a year.

121
00:08:40,786 --> 00:08:42,845
You're wrong, Peter.
For a year and a half.

122
00:08:43,022 --> 00:08:46,514
Well, you might have a couple of hundred
dollars left and then it's the end.

123
00:08:46,692 --> 00:08:49,126
I have $ 14 left and...

124
00:08:49,295 --> 00:08:51,263
...57 cents.

125
00:08:51,464 --> 00:08:53,455
And all those bills?

126
00:08:53,666 --> 00:08:55,463
It's an unpaid electric light bill?

127
00:08:55,635 --> 00:08:59,594
It's a disconnect notice and in the drawer,
you'll find an eviction notice.

128
00:08:59,772 --> 00:09:01,831
How do you expect to go on?

129
00:09:02,008 --> 00:09:04,772
That's my concern and not yours.

130
00:09:07,213 --> 00:09:10,649
Now, don't protest, Howard.
You can pay me back anytime.

131
00:09:10,816 --> 00:09:12,374
You need it.

132
00:09:12,852 --> 00:09:14,547
Thank you, Peter.

133
00:09:14,854 --> 00:09:16,082
I don't need it.

134
00:09:16,255 --> 00:09:18,155
But I want to help you.

135
00:09:18,324 --> 00:09:21,122
I don't give or ask for help.

136
00:09:23,496 --> 00:09:24,861
Oh, why don't you drop it?

137
00:09:25,031 --> 00:09:26,464
- What?
- The pose.

138
00:09:26,632 --> 00:09:28,156
Or the ideals, if you prefer.

139
00:09:28,334 --> 00:09:31,735
You can't stand alone. Give in.
Learn to get along with people.

140
00:09:31,904 --> 00:09:35,271
Design the kind of buildings everybody
does, then you'll be rich, famous.

141
00:09:35,441 --> 00:09:38,103
You'll be admired.
You'll be one of us.

142
00:09:39,045 --> 00:09:40,945
Is that what disturbs you
about me, Peter?

143
00:09:41,113 --> 00:09:43,604
That I want to stand alone?
Is that it?

144
00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:46,479
I don't know.

145
00:09:46,652 --> 00:09:48,517
Go home, Peter.

146
00:09:50,356 --> 00:09:52,085
It's getting late.

147
00:09:53,626 --> 00:09:55,958
- Have you lost your watch, Howard?
- I hocked it.

148
00:09:57,496 --> 00:09:58,986
Good night.

149
00:09:59,165 --> 00:10:00,757
Good luck.

150
00:10:10,109 --> 00:10:11,098
<i>- Hello?
- Mr. Roark?</i>

151
00:10:11,444 --> 00:10:14,470
<i>- Yes.
- I promised our answer today, Mr. Roark...</i>

152
00:10:14,647 --> 00:10:18,174
...but unfortunately, the board of directors
hasn't reached a decision yet.

153
00:10:18,351 --> 00:10:20,512
I know you've been
kept waiting a long time...

154
00:10:20,686 --> 00:10:24,417
...but the drawings you submitted
for our building are so unusual...

155
00:10:24,590 --> 00:10:26,353
...that we
find it difficult to decide.

156
00:10:26,859 --> 00:10:29,828
<i>I think I can promise you
a definite answer tomorrow.</i>

157
00:10:29,996 --> 00:10:32,191
<i>If not,it'll have
to wait over the weekend...</i>

158
00:10:32,365 --> 00:10:34,492
...but by Monday we'll know.

159
00:10:34,667 --> 00:10:37,431
You've been wonderfully
patient with us, Mr. Roark.

160
00:10:37,603 --> 00:10:38,934
Can you wait
a little longer?

161
00:10:40,006 --> 00:10:42,031
Yes, I'll wait.

162
00:10:42,208 --> 00:10:43,766
Thank you.

163
00:10:58,958 --> 00:11:02,291
Mr. Roark, the commission is yours.
The Board of Directors...

164
00:11:02,461 --> 00:11:06,727
...of the Security Bank of Manhattan has
chosen you as the architect for our building.

165
00:11:06,899 --> 00:11:09,424
My congratulations.
You've done a beautiful job.

166
00:11:09,602 --> 00:11:11,661
The board was quite impressed
by the project.

167
00:11:11,837 --> 00:11:15,933
It's a tremendous assignment,
an unusual opportunity for an architect.

168
00:11:16,108 --> 00:11:18,872
You're unknown but you'll be famous
when this is erected.

169
00:11:19,045 --> 00:11:20,808
It's a chance you've wanted for years.

170
00:11:21,047 --> 00:11:22,344
- Yes.
- It's yours.

171
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:25,348
On one minor condition.
Oh, it's just a small compromise...

172
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:28,180
...and when you agree to it,
we can sign the contract.

173
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:29,878
- What is it?
- Well, of course...

174
00:11:30,056 --> 00:11:32,024
...we wouldn't alter
your plans in any way.

175
00:11:32,191 --> 00:11:35,388
It's the ingenuity of your plans
that sold us on the building.

176
00:11:35,628 --> 00:11:37,653
But its appearance is not
of any known style.

177
00:11:37,830 --> 00:11:39,388
The public wouldn't like it.

178
00:11:39,565 --> 00:11:41,965
It'd shock people.
It's too different, too original.

179
00:11:42,134 --> 00:11:45,934
Originality is fine, but why go to extremes?
There's always the middle course.

180
00:11:46,105 --> 00:11:48,232
So we want to preserve
your beautiful design...

181
00:11:48,407 --> 00:11:51,274
...but just soften it
with a touch of classical dignity.

182
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:52,706
Here.

183
00:11:53,412 --> 00:11:55,778
We've had this made to show you
our general idea.

184
00:11:55,948 --> 00:11:57,916
It's very simple. All you do is copy it.

185
00:11:58,751 --> 00:12:02,278
We want you to adapt
your building like this.

186
00:12:04,657 --> 00:12:07,217
Now there's a touch of the new
and a touch of the old...

187
00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:10,362
...so it's sure to please everybody.
The middle of the road.

188
00:12:10,529 --> 00:12:13,191
Why take chances when you
can stay in the middle?

189
00:12:13,365 --> 00:12:16,960
You see? It doesn't
spoil anything, does it?

190
00:12:17,303 --> 00:12:21,103
And we must always compromise with the
general taste. You understand that.

191
00:12:22,041 --> 00:12:23,508
No.

192
00:12:23,909 --> 00:12:26,002
If you want my work,
you take it as it is...

193
00:12:26,178 --> 00:12:28,237
...or not at all.
- But why?

194
00:12:29,215 --> 00:12:31,979
A building has integrity,
just like a man.

195
00:12:32,151 --> 00:12:33,482
And just as seldom.

196
00:12:33,652 --> 00:12:37,418
It must be true to its own idea, have
its own form and serve its own purpose.

197
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:40,753
But we can't depart from
the popular forms of architecture.

198
00:12:40,926 --> 00:12:42,120
Why not?

199
00:12:42,294 --> 00:12:44,489
- Because everybody's accepted them.
- I haven't.

200
00:12:44,697 --> 00:12:46,722
Do you wish to defy
our common standards?

201
00:12:46,999 --> 00:12:48,626
I set my own standards.

202
00:12:48,801 --> 00:12:51,463
- Do you intend to fight against the world?
- Lf necessary.

203
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:54,934
But after all, we are your clients,
and it's your job to serve us.

204
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:59,738
I don't build in order to have clients.
I have clients in order to build.

205
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:02,880
Mr. Roark, we can't argue about this.

206
00:13:03,048 --> 00:13:05,380
The decision of our board was final.

207
00:13:05,551 --> 00:13:07,849
We want these changes.

208
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:10,983
Will you accept the commission
on our terms, or not?

209
00:13:11,157 --> 00:13:14,251
You realize, of course,
your whole future is at stake.

210
00:13:14,426 --> 00:13:16,451
This may be your last chance.

211
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:18,062
Well?

212
00:13:19,465 --> 00:13:21,660
Yes or no, Mr. Roark?

213
00:13:24,770 --> 00:13:26,260
No.

214
00:13:26,772 --> 00:13:28,467
You realize what you're doing?

215
00:13:28,641 --> 00:13:30,336
Quite.

216
00:13:30,709 --> 00:13:32,199
Roark, this is sheer insanity.

217
00:13:32,378 --> 00:13:35,313
Can't you give in just once?
After all, you have to live.

218
00:13:35,481 --> 00:13:37,210
- Not that way.
- How else?

219
00:13:37,383 --> 00:13:39,374
Don't you have to work?

220
00:13:39,585 --> 00:13:43,043
I'd rather work as a day laborer,
if necessary.

221
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:49,351
- Well, can you beat that?
- No.

222
00:13:49,528 --> 00:13:51,996
It was you who recommended
Roark in the first place.

223
00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:54,029
You chose him.
You said he would be good.

224
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:57,060
- Wasn't he?
- You suggested those changes.

225
00:13:57,236 --> 00:13:58,965
You said he'd accept them.

226
00:13:59,138 --> 00:14:00,730
Oh, yes, so I did.

227
00:14:00,906 --> 00:14:05,138
I told you, Mr. Gail Wynand wants buildings
that show a classical influence.

228
00:14:05,311 --> 00:14:08,075
- Then why did you pick this man?
- An experiment, gentlemen.

229
00:14:08,514 --> 00:14:10,345
A very interesting experiment.

230
00:14:10,516 --> 00:14:12,450
But what are we going to do?

231
00:14:12,618 --> 00:14:15,178
Pick another
architect, of course.

232
00:14:16,322 --> 00:14:17,482
Yes, Mr. Toohey.

233
00:14:26,265 --> 00:14:29,098
I'm sure you know that I seek nothing
for myself, Mr. Wynand.

234
00:14:29,268 --> 00:14:32,499
My only motive is a selfless concern
for my fellow men.

235
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:36,330
The new building of the Security Bank
is such an important undertaking...

236
00:14:36,508 --> 00:14:38,908
...and you hold
the controlling interest, Mr. Wynand.

237
00:14:39,078 --> 00:14:42,912
The board of directors has attempted
to pick an architect quite unsuccessfully.

238
00:14:43,082 --> 00:14:44,879
They will accept anyone you choose.

239
00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:47,348
And I felt it my duty
to offer you my advice.

240
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:50,352
- Whom do you recommend?
- The rising star of the profession...

241
00:14:50,623 --> 00:14:53,854
...Peter Keating.
No other architect can equal his ability.

242
00:14:54,026 --> 00:14:56,392
That, Mr. Wynand, is my sincere opinion.

243
00:14:56,562 --> 00:14:57,824
I quite believe you.

244
00:14:57,997 --> 00:14:59,862
- You do?
- Of course, but, Mr. Toohey...

245
00:15:00,032 --> 00:15:02,330
...why should I consider your opinion?

246
00:15:02,501 --> 00:15:05,527
<i>Well, after all, I am
the architectural critic of the Banner.</i>

247
00:15:05,704 --> 00:15:08,036
My dear Toohey,
don't confuse me with my readers.

248
00:15:10,342 --> 00:15:15,006
L... I took the liberty of bringing you
some samples of Peter Keating's best work.

249
00:15:15,180 --> 00:15:16,807
You may judge for yourself.

250
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:27,784
- Lf you have seen any of these buildings...
- I have.

251
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,418
They were excellent 2000 years ago
when they were built for the first time.

252
00:15:31,664 --> 00:15:34,758
But surely you're not in favor
of so-called modern architecture?

253
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:39,132
It's worthless because it's merely the work
of a few unbridled individualists.

254
00:15:39,305 --> 00:15:41,865
Artistic value is achieved collectively...

255
00:15:42,041 --> 00:15:45,477
...by each man subordinating himself
to the standards of the majority.

256
00:15:45,678 --> 00:15:47,942
- I read that in your column yesterday.
- You did?

257
00:15:48,580 --> 00:15:50,070
Thank you.

258
00:15:50,249 --> 00:15:54,515
The greatness in Peter Keating's personality
lies in the fact that there's no personality...

259
00:15:54,687 --> 00:15:56,678
...stamped upon his buildings.
- Quite true.

260
00:15:56,855 --> 00:16:00,757
Thus he represents not himself
but the multitude of all men together.

261
00:16:00,926 --> 00:16:04,919
And produces great big
marble bromides.

262
00:16:05,197 --> 00:16:07,529
I believe I am failing
to sell you Peter Keating.

263
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:09,190
Why, no.

264
00:16:09,835 --> 00:16:11,735
You're succeeding.

265
00:16:12,838 --> 00:16:14,362
Your Keating is worthless...

266
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:17,407
...so he's probably
the right choice for that building.

267
00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:20,005
He's sure to be popular.

268
00:16:20,379 --> 00:16:23,212
You wouldn't expect me
to pick a man of merit, would you?

269
00:16:23,382 --> 00:16:26,408
I've never hired a good architect
for any of the banks, hotels...

270
00:16:26,585 --> 00:16:28,985
...or other commercial
structures I've built.

271
00:16:29,154 --> 00:16:33,250
I give the public what it wants,
including your column, Mr. Toohey.

272
00:16:33,425 --> 00:16:35,723
Am I to understand
you will choose Peter Keating?

273
00:16:35,894 --> 00:16:40,160
I really don't care. One of those fashionable
architects is just as inept as another.

274
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:45,030
I think you have a good idea, however.

275
00:16:45,204 --> 00:16:49,732
<i>I think I will decide according to the advice
of the Banner's "Architectural Experts. "</i>

276
00:16:50,109 --> 00:16:51,667
Yes, indeed, Mr. Wynand.

277
00:16:58,283 --> 00:17:02,549
But you're not my only expert,
Mr. Toohey. You have a rival.

278
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:07,356
I should consult Dominique Francon,
as well.

279
00:17:10,996 --> 00:17:14,022
<i>- Yes,sir?
- Ask Miss Francon to come in.</i>

280
00:17:14,833 --> 00:17:17,495
- Miss Francon and I do not always agree.
- I'm sure of it.

281
00:17:18,771 --> 00:17:21,638
<i>- Yes?
- Mr. Wynand,I know it's inexcusable...</i>

282
00:17:21,807 --> 00:17:23,900
<i>...but Miss Francon is not in the building.</i>

283
00:17:24,076 --> 00:17:27,045
<i>Shall I telephone her home
and ask her to come here at once?</i>

284
00:17:27,212 --> 00:17:28,645
No.

285
00:17:35,354 --> 00:17:36,844
You're not going in person...

286
00:17:37,022 --> 00:17:40,014
You know, Toohey?
One of these days, you'll bore me.

287
00:17:40,959 --> 00:17:43,291
I shall endeavor not to do so
until the right time.

288
00:18:04,583 --> 00:18:05,845
How did you come in?

289
00:18:06,018 --> 00:18:07,349
Your maid let me in.

290
00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:08,781
Without an announcement?

291
00:18:08,954 --> 00:18:11,218
You can't expect her
to share your attitude.

292
00:18:11,390 --> 00:18:14,223
You're the only person in New York
who'd refuse me admittance.

293
00:18:15,494 --> 00:18:17,155
Why did you come here?

294
00:18:17,329 --> 00:18:20,355
I needed you at the office.
I found you absent.

295
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:25,659
Isn't it unprecedented for you to come
in person after one of your employees?

296
00:18:25,838 --> 00:18:28,864
I hoped you'd take note of that.
I wanted to ask your advice...

297
00:18:29,041 --> 00:18:31,635
...about a matter which
will be of great interest to you.

298
00:18:31,810 --> 00:18:36,008
I must pick an architect for the Security
Bank building. Whom would you recommend?

299
00:18:36,181 --> 00:18:37,546
No one.

300
00:18:37,716 --> 00:18:40,514
I don't know a single architect of ability.

301
00:18:40,686 --> 00:18:43,416
And you're not looking
for ability, Mr. Wynand.

302
00:18:43,589 --> 00:18:45,284
And if I left the choice up to you?

303
00:18:45,858 --> 00:18:47,792
- I wouldn't care to make it.
- No?

304
00:18:48,227 --> 00:18:51,822
Ellsworth Toohey is very anxious
to get the commission for Peter Keating.

305
00:18:51,997 --> 00:18:54,056
Peter Keating is
a third-rate architect.

306
00:18:54,233 --> 00:18:57,396
- Is he? He's your father's partner.
- Oh, yes.

307
00:18:57,569 --> 00:19:01,505
- Aren't you engaged to Peter Keating?
- Yes.

308
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:05,804
If you found it amusing to tempt me
by offering to help Peter's career...

309
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:07,570
...you miscalculated.

310
00:19:07,746 --> 00:19:09,907
I have no desire
to help his career.

311
00:19:10,082 --> 00:19:13,984
I was trying to tempt you,
but I didn't find it amusing.

312
00:19:16,088 --> 00:19:18,522
I should like to meet Peter Keating.

313
00:19:19,258 --> 00:19:22,591
Will you have dinner with me this
evening? We'll discuss the commission.

314
00:19:22,761 --> 00:19:25,457
- If you wish. - Incidentally, I'd
have fired anyone else...

315
00:19:25,631 --> 00:19:27,599
...for being absent from the office.

316
00:19:27,766 --> 00:19:29,097
I know it.

317
00:19:29,268 --> 00:19:31,964
- Shall I consider myself fired?
- You want to be?

318
00:19:32,137 --> 00:19:33,968
Don't really care
one way or another.

319
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:38,499
You know, you could do much more
than write a small column about buildings.

320
00:19:38,677 --> 00:19:41,111
<i>You could make a brilliant career
on the Banner...</i>

321
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,941
...if you asked me for it.

322
00:19:43,115 --> 00:19:45,106
<i>I never wanted a career
on the Banner.</i>

323
00:19:45,284 --> 00:19:48,253
Tell me, what would you
consider as tempting?

324
00:19:48,420 --> 00:19:50,650
I'd like to find
something you could want.

325
00:19:51,056 --> 00:19:52,956
Don't try to, Mr. Wynand.

326
00:19:53,125 --> 00:19:55,286
I'll never want anything.

327
00:19:56,662 --> 00:19:58,994
Do you know what I was doing
when you came in?

328
00:19:59,164 --> 00:20:02,895
I had a statue which I found in Europe,
the statue of a god.

329
00:20:03,068 --> 00:20:04,558
I think I was in love with it...

330
00:20:04,736 --> 00:20:06,533
...but I broke it.
- What do you mean?

331
00:20:06,772 --> 00:20:08,535
- I threw it down the air shaft.
- Why?

332
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:10,299
So that I wouldn't have to love it.

333
00:20:10,475 --> 00:20:14,309
I didn't wanna be tied to anything. I wanted
to destroy it rather than let it be...

334
00:20:14,479 --> 00:20:18,677
...part of a world where beauty and
genius and greatness have no chance.

335
00:20:18,850 --> 00:20:22,081
<i>The world of the mob
and of the Banner.</i>

336
00:20:22,254 --> 00:20:24,984
Do you still want me to have
dinner with you tonight?

337
00:20:26,291 --> 00:20:28,054
More than ever.

338
00:20:36,702 --> 00:20:40,069
It's such a magnificent opportunity.
I'll do my best to please you.

339
00:20:40,239 --> 00:20:43,072
- I take it you want this commission.
- Want it?

340
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:45,210
I'd sell my soul for it.

341
00:20:45,377 --> 00:20:48,744
That may be the right phrase.
Everything in life has its price.

342
00:20:49,348 --> 00:20:53,444
In this instance, the price is that you
break your engagement to Miss Francon.

343
00:21:00,058 --> 00:21:01,958
My engagement?

344
00:21:02,394 --> 00:21:03,827
Why?

345
00:21:03,996 --> 00:21:05,657
For any reason
you care to imagine.

346
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:10,129
You may think what you wish about my
motives but that is the condition I demand.

347
00:21:10,636 --> 00:21:12,763
- Dominique?
- No, I'm not going to help you.

348
00:21:13,071 --> 00:21:16,268
I'd like to see it decided
between Mr. Wynand and yourself.

349
00:21:16,708 --> 00:21:19,506
- But would you agree?
- The choice is yours.

350
00:21:20,012 --> 00:21:23,175
Our engagement helped you
to become my father's partner.

351
00:21:23,348 --> 00:21:26,078
Mr. Wynand's patronage
will help you much more.

352
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:31,487
I'm sure this is a joke, Mr. Wynand.
Things like this aren't being done.

353
00:21:31,657 --> 00:21:33,818
They're done all the time
but not talked about.

354
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:36,390
I grant you that
I'm behaving abominably.

355
00:21:36,561 --> 00:21:38,791
It's extremely cruel to be honest.

356
00:21:40,565 --> 00:21:41,998
I...

357
00:21:42,668 --> 00:21:44,659
I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

358
00:21:44,836 --> 00:21:47,100
It's simple. You're supposed
to slap my face.

359
00:21:47,472 --> 00:21:49,940
You were supposed to do that
several minutes ago.

360
00:21:50,108 --> 00:21:52,440
No?
You don't wanna do that?

361
00:21:52,778 --> 00:21:55,440
Of course, you don't have to
and you don't have to accept.

362
00:21:55,614 --> 00:21:57,809
Would you rather refuse the commission?

363
00:21:58,684 --> 00:22:00,584
- No.
- Fine, Mr. Keating.

364
00:22:00,752 --> 00:22:03,312
Now I think it would be best if you left.

365
00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:06,889
Call up my office in the morning,
and we'll sign the contract.

366
00:22:07,926 --> 00:22:10,622
If that's what you want,
I'm not going to interfere.

367
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,188
We should be grown-up
about it, shouldn't we?

368
00:22:13,932 --> 00:22:16,730
I'm sure we'll have
no trouble, Mr. Wynand.

369
00:22:17,135 --> 00:22:18,602
Good night.

370
00:22:23,375 --> 00:22:25,206
Why did you do this?

371
00:22:25,377 --> 00:22:29,643
Did you believe I'd agree like Peter? Did you
expect to win me by your usual methods?

372
00:22:29,815 --> 00:22:33,808
Of course not. I merely wanted to show you
that all men are corrupt, anyone be bought.

373
00:22:33,985 --> 00:22:36,215
And that you're wrong
in your contempt for me.

374
00:22:36,388 --> 00:22:38,481
There is no honest way
to deal with people.

375
00:22:38,657 --> 00:22:41,592
We have no choice except
to submit or to rule them.

376
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:42,988
I chose to rule.

377
00:22:43,161 --> 00:22:45,095
A man of integrity would do neither.

378
00:22:45,263 --> 00:22:46,628
There are no men of integrity.

379
00:22:46,798 --> 00:22:49,494
I have many years behind me to prove it.

380
00:22:49,668 --> 00:22:51,431
I was born in Hell's Kitchen.

381
00:22:51,603 --> 00:22:54,003
<i>I rose out of the gutter
by creating the Banner.</i>

382
00:22:54,172 --> 00:22:55,969
It's a contemptible paper, isn't it?

383
00:22:56,141 --> 00:22:57,904
But it has achieved my purpose.

384
00:22:58,243 --> 00:23:00,370
- What was your purpose?
- Power.

385
00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:02,604
Why are you trying to justify
yourself to me?

386
00:23:02,781 --> 00:23:04,772
I wasn't trying to jus...

387
00:23:05,484 --> 00:23:06,712
Yes.

388
00:23:06,885 --> 00:23:09,376
- That is what I was doing.
- Why?

389
00:23:09,921 --> 00:23:11,855
I think you know it.

390
00:23:20,132 --> 00:23:21,656
You see?

391
00:23:21,833 --> 00:23:24,563
I suppose I'm one of those freaks
you hear about.

392
00:23:24,736 --> 00:23:27,864
A woman completely incapable of feeling.

393
00:23:29,074 --> 00:23:31,235
I was engaged to Peter Keating...

394
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:35,107
...because he was the most safely,
unimportant person I could find.

395
00:23:35,781 --> 00:23:37,612
And I knew I'd never be in love.

396
00:23:37,783 --> 00:23:39,444
Haven't you ever loved anyone?

397
00:23:39,618 --> 00:23:41,449
No, and I never will.

398
00:23:41,620 --> 00:23:44,748
If I fell in love, it'd be like
the statue of the Greek god again.

399
00:23:44,923 --> 00:23:47,483
I know it. I accept it.

400
00:23:48,460 --> 00:23:50,587
I want you to marry me.

401
00:23:53,598 --> 00:23:56,624
If I ever decide to punish myself
for some terrible guilt...

402
00:23:56,802 --> 00:23:59,202
...I'll marry you.
- I'll wait.

403
00:23:59,371 --> 00:24:01,430
No matter what reason you choose for it.

404
00:24:01,606 --> 00:24:05,235
- Will you let me see you again?
- I'm leaving the city in a few days.

405
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:07,970
- Where are you going?
- To Father's place in Connecticut.

406
00:24:08,146 --> 00:24:10,239
I'm going there so
I won't have to see anyone.

407
00:24:10,415 --> 00:24:12,280
What are you really seeking?

408
00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:17,650
Freedom: To want nothing, to expect
nothing, to depend on nothing.

409
00:26:41,066 --> 00:26:42,966
Why, Miss Francon.

410
00:26:43,468 --> 00:26:45,663
How do you do?
What are you doing here?

411
00:26:46,137 --> 00:26:47,468
I'm out here for the summer.

412
00:26:47,639 --> 00:26:49,698
Father let me have his house all to myself.

413
00:26:49,874 --> 00:26:53,173
- I thought I'd take a look at this quarry.
- Let me show you around.

414
00:26:53,345 --> 00:26:55,745
This is the best gray granite
in Connecticut.

415
00:26:55,914 --> 00:26:58,041
- Why, last month, we shipped...
- Who's that man?

416
00:26:58,216 --> 00:26:59,808
What man, Miss Francon?

417
00:26:59,985 --> 00:27:01,748
No, never mind.

418
00:28:08,787 --> 00:28:10,687
Why do you always stare at me?

419
00:28:10,855 --> 00:28:13,346
For the same reason
you've been staring at me.

420
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:15,322
I don't know what you're talking about.

421
00:28:15,593 --> 00:28:18,926
If you didn't, you'd be more astonished
and much less angry.

422
00:28:20,665 --> 00:28:22,132
So you know my name.

423
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,265
You've been advertising it
loudly enough.

424
00:28:25,670 --> 00:28:29,367
You'd better not be insolent.
I can have you fired at a moment's notice.

425
00:28:29,808 --> 00:28:32,936
- Shall I call the superintendent?
- No, of course not.

426
00:28:33,378 --> 00:28:37,747
But since you know who I am, you'd better
stop looking at me when I come here.

427
00:28:37,916 --> 00:28:39,679
It might be misunderstood.

428
00:28:40,785 --> 00:28:42,446
I don't think so.

429
00:29:38,910 --> 00:29:40,537
Come in.

430
00:29:44,048 --> 00:29:46,039
Good evening, Miss Francon.
You sent for me?

431
00:29:46,217 --> 00:29:47,479
Yes.

432
00:29:47,652 --> 00:29:50,052
Would you like to make
some extra money?

433
00:29:50,221 --> 00:29:51,586
Certainly, Miss Francon.

434
00:29:51,756 --> 00:29:55,021
That marble piece is broken
and has to be replaced.

435
00:29:55,193 --> 00:29:57,320
I want you to take it out.

436
00:29:57,729 --> 00:29:59,560
Yes, Miss Francon.

437
00:30:10,208 --> 00:30:12,199
Now it's broken
and has to be replaced.

438
00:30:13,978 --> 00:30:17,379
Would you know what kind of marble this is
and where to order a piece?

439
00:30:17,749 --> 00:30:20,718
- Yes, Miss Francon.
- Go ahead, then. Take it out.

440
00:30:20,885 --> 00:30:22,750
Yes, Miss Francon.

441
00:30:29,627 --> 00:30:31,185
Oh, I'm sorry.

442
00:30:31,362 --> 00:30:36,390
You might have thought that I was laughing
at you, but I wasn't, of course.

443
00:30:38,336 --> 00:30:40,930
I didn't want to disturb you.

444
00:30:41,606 --> 00:30:45,098
I'm sure you're anxious to finish
and get out of here.

445
00:30:47,278 --> 00:30:50,543
I mean, because you must be tired.

446
00:30:53,384 --> 00:30:55,477
There must be things
you'd like to talk about.

447
00:30:56,387 --> 00:30:58,378
Oh, well, yes, Miss Francon.

448
00:30:58,556 --> 00:30:59,989
Well?

449
00:31:02,527 --> 00:31:06,054
I think this is an atrocious fireplace.

450
00:31:06,965 --> 00:31:10,298
Really? This house was
designed by my father.

451
00:31:10,468 --> 00:31:12,698
There's no point in your
discussing architecture.

452
00:31:13,471 --> 00:31:14,995
None at all.

453
00:31:16,007 --> 00:31:17,702
Shall we choose some other subject?

454
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:19,537
Yes, Miss Francon.

455
00:31:20,979 --> 00:31:24,710
Generally, there are three kinds of marble:
The white, the onyx and the green.

456
00:31:25,183 --> 00:31:28,016
This last must not be considered
a true marble.

457
00:31:28,186 --> 00:31:31,986
True marble is the metamorphic form
of limestone produced by heat and pressure.

458
00:31:33,291 --> 00:31:35,657
Pressure is a powerful factor.

459
00:31:35,827 --> 00:31:39,593
It leads to consequences which,
once started, cannot be controlled.

460
00:31:40,498 --> 00:31:41,726
What consequences?

461
00:31:43,701 --> 00:31:46,727
The infiltration of foreign elements
from the surrounding soil.

462
00:31:47,338 --> 00:31:51,502
They form the colored streaks
found in most marbles.

463
00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:58,280
This is pure white marble.

464
00:31:58,583 --> 00:32:00,642
You should be very careful, Miss Francon.

465
00:32:00,818 --> 00:32:03,378
To accept nothing but a stone
of the same quality.

466
00:32:03,688 --> 00:32:07,920
This is Alabama marble,
very high grade, very hard to find.

467
00:32:09,027 --> 00:32:10,619
What shall I do with the stone?

468
00:32:10,795 --> 00:32:12,558
Leave it here. I'll have it removed.

469
00:32:12,730 --> 00:32:13,958
All right.

470
00:32:14,132 --> 00:32:18,034
I'll order a new piece cut to measure
and have it delivered to you.

471
00:32:19,437 --> 00:32:21,462
- Do you wish me to set it?
- Yes, certainly.

472
00:32:21,639 --> 00:32:25,473
I'll let you know when it comes.
How much do I owe you?

473
00:32:25,643 --> 00:32:27,167
Keep the change.

474
00:32:27,345 --> 00:32:29,313
Thank you, Miss Francon.

475
00:32:29,847 --> 00:32:32,839
- Good night.
- Good night, Miss Francon.

476
00:32:48,766 --> 00:32:50,290
Come in.

477
00:32:53,237 --> 00:32:55,262
The man sent from
the quarry, Miss Francon.

478
00:32:57,842 --> 00:32:59,173
Who are you?

479
00:32:59,344 --> 00:33:02,177
- Pasquale Orsini.
- What do you want?

480
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:07,383
The tall guy down at the quarry told me
you got a fireplace you wanted me to fix.

481
00:33:07,752 --> 00:33:10,414
Yes. Yes, of course. I forgot.

482
00:33:10,588 --> 00:33:12,078
Go ahead.

483
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:57,092
Why didn't you come set the marble?

484
00:33:57,335 --> 00:34:01,362
I didn't think it would make any difference
to you who came, or did it, Miss Francon?

485
00:36:41,332 --> 00:36:43,698
Good afternoon, Miss Francon.
How are you?

486
00:36:46,103 --> 00:36:47,627
There was a man you had here.

487
00:36:48,172 --> 00:36:51,005
A tall, gaunt man who worked a drill.

488
00:36:51,175 --> 00:36:54,167
- Where is he?
- Yes, that one, he's gone.

489
00:36:56,514 --> 00:36:59,813
- Gone?
- Quit, left for New York, I think.

490
00:36:59,984 --> 00:37:02,111
- When?
- Two days ago.

491
00:37:02,286 --> 00:37:04,015
What was his...?

492
00:37:04,855 --> 00:37:07,289
No. No, I don't want to know his name.

493
00:37:07,458 --> 00:37:10,359
- Lf you want me to find him for you...
- No.

494
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:17,497
I don't know what to do. I give up.

495
00:37:17,668 --> 00:37:20,102
I've gone the limit. I'm at my wit's end.

496
00:37:20,271 --> 00:37:23,570
- That's not going very far.
- It's all right for you to make cracks.

497
00:37:23,741 --> 00:37:26,869
But I'm in trouble. We need some
excitement to boost circulation.

498
00:37:27,044 --> 00:37:30,980
I've got to invent a crusade and I
don't know what on earth to crusade about.

499
00:37:31,148 --> 00:37:33,514
We start a campaign
against street car monopolies?

500
00:37:33,684 --> 00:37:37,643
We did that two years ago, then we
had a crusade against canned vegetables.

501
00:37:37,822 --> 00:37:39,687
And a crusade against Wall Street.

502
00:37:39,857 --> 00:37:41,620
Now, what else is there to be against?

503
00:37:41,792 --> 00:37:43,657
You're a smart woman,
couldn't you...?

504
00:37:43,828 --> 00:37:47,195
- Sorry, I'm not good at that sort of thing.
- Gail Wynand expects results.

505
00:37:47,365 --> 00:37:48,923
<i>The Banner's got to be active.</i>

506
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:52,035
I've racked my brain, and I can't think
of anything to denounce.

507
00:37:52,203 --> 00:37:54,171
- I can.
- What?

508
00:37:54,372 --> 00:37:55,805
This.

509
00:37:56,874 --> 00:38:00,173
- Who cares about a building?
- My dear, it depends on how you handle it.

510
00:38:02,246 --> 00:38:06,410
It's an outrage against art and a threat to
public safety. It might collapse any moment.

511
00:38:06,651 --> 00:38:09,211
- Nobody's ever used that structural method.
- Yeah?

512
00:38:09,387 --> 00:38:12,413
The owner of it is Roger Enright,
one of those self-made men.

513
00:38:12,590 --> 00:38:13,887
Stubborn and rich as blazes.

514
00:38:14,058 --> 00:38:15,821
It's always safe to denounce the rich.

515
00:38:15,993 --> 00:38:17,290
Everyone will help you...

516
00:38:17,461 --> 00:38:18,689
- The rich first.
- Yeah.

517
00:38:19,063 --> 00:38:22,123
- Howard Roark, who is he?
- I wouldn't know.

518
00:38:22,333 --> 00:38:25,791
Think what you could do with it.
A super-luxury apartment house going up...

519
00:38:25,970 --> 00:38:28,495
...and there's those poor people
who live in the slums.

520
00:38:28,673 --> 00:38:31,938
We could have some Sunday supplement
stories about beautiful girls...

521
00:38:32,109 --> 00:38:35,442
...who are victims of the slums.
- With pictures in three-color process.

522
00:38:35,613 --> 00:38:37,513
You've got something there.
You've got it.

523
00:38:37,682 --> 00:38:41,209
It's a wonderful idea.
I know Wynand will okay it.

524
00:38:44,422 --> 00:38:46,982
You know that this Enright House
is a great building.

525
00:38:47,158 --> 00:38:49,388
Perhaps one of the greatest.

526
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,028
Ellsworth, what are you after?

527
00:38:52,196 --> 00:38:54,460
I daresay nobody knows what I'm after.

528
00:38:54,632 --> 00:38:55,894
They will, though.

529
00:38:56,067 --> 00:38:58,262
When the time comes.

530
00:39:05,876 --> 00:39:07,844
<i>So we've got three wonderful angles:</i>

531
00:39:08,012 --> 00:39:11,709
<i>Highbrow stories about the bad art.
Scare stories about the girders collapsing.</i>

532
00:39:11,882 --> 00:39:13,406
<i>Sob stories about the poor.</i>

533
00:39:13,584 --> 00:39:15,916
<i>We get everybody riled up
without any opposition.</i>

534
00:39:16,387 --> 00:39:18,947
<i>Who'll want to defend it?
It's only a building.</i>

535
00:39:19,123 --> 00:39:21,523
<i>- My first step would be...
- Don't bother with details.</i>

536
00:39:21,692 --> 00:39:23,853
It's good. Go ahead.
Toohey can handle it.

537
00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:27,964
What a surprise and what a lovely contrast
to my usual visitors. Please sit down.

538
00:39:28,132 --> 00:39:30,396
You approved a campaign
against the Enright House?

539
00:39:30,568 --> 00:39:32,627
Yes, of course.
It'll stir up a lot of noise.

540
00:39:32,803 --> 00:39:34,930
I'm sailing next week.
I'll be gone all winter.

541
00:39:35,106 --> 00:39:36,437
This will keep them busy.

542
00:39:36,907 --> 00:39:38,898
Have you seen drawings
of the Enright House?

543
00:39:39,076 --> 00:39:40,304
No.

544
00:39:40,644 --> 00:39:42,635
- Please send for them.
- What for?

545
00:39:42,813 --> 00:39:46,271
That building is a magnificent
architectural achievement.

546
00:39:47,284 --> 00:39:49,309
- Is that of no importance?
- None.

547
00:39:49,487 --> 00:39:51,648
You're willing to destroy it
to amuse the mob...

548
00:39:51,822 --> 00:39:53,881
...to give them something
to scream about?

549
00:39:54,058 --> 00:39:58,825
<i>That is the policy which has made the
Banner the newspaper of largest circulation.</i>

550
00:39:58,996 --> 00:40:01,055
Don't expect me to change it.

551
00:40:01,265 --> 00:40:04,132
You asked me once to tell you
of something I wanted.

552
00:40:04,301 --> 00:40:06,997
I've tried never to ask favors of anyone...

553
00:40:07,171 --> 00:40:09,139
...but I'm going to now.

554
00:40:09,306 --> 00:40:11,934
Please call off this campaign.

555
00:40:12,543 --> 00:40:14,204
Is the architect a friend of yours?

556
00:40:14,378 --> 00:40:17,142
I've never set eyes on him.
I don't know who he is nor care.

557
00:40:17,314 --> 00:40:19,179
Why should you plead for that building?

558
00:40:19,350 --> 00:40:20,874
Because it's great.

559
00:40:21,051 --> 00:40:23,451
There's so little in life
that's noble or beautiful.

560
00:40:23,621 --> 00:40:26,852
I'm pleading for a man's achievement.
I'm pleading for greatness.

561
00:40:27,024 --> 00:40:29,117
<i>Are you reproaching me
for the Banner?</i>

562
00:40:30,127 --> 00:40:32,595
I'm begging you, Mr. Wynand.

563
00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:37,126
Dominique, I would give you
anything I owned...

564
00:40:37,301 --> 00:40:38,928
<i>...except the Banner.</i>

565
00:40:39,103 --> 00:40:43,005
My whole life and an unspeakable
struggle have gone to make it.

566
00:40:43,174 --> 00:40:45,665
I will not sacrifice it for anyone on earth.

567
00:40:46,510 --> 00:40:48,705
It's your right to do as you wish.

568
00:40:48,879 --> 00:40:51,643
It's mine to take no part
in what you're doing.

569
00:40:51,816 --> 00:40:54,284
<i>Please accept my resignation
from the Banner.</i>

570
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,512
I'm sorry.

571
00:40:57,688 --> 00:41:00,088
It's quite useless, my dear.

572
00:41:00,257 --> 00:41:03,522
You can't fight me. You have no chance.

573
00:41:04,295 --> 00:41:05,922
I know it.

574
00:41:08,432 --> 00:41:10,229
<i>While so many
are in need of shelter...</i>

575
00:41:10,401 --> 00:41:13,768
<i>...effort is being wasted to erect
a structural monstrosity...</i>

576
00:41:13,938 --> 00:41:15,405
<i>...known as the Enright House.</i>

577
00:41:15,573 --> 00:41:19,168
<i>It is designed by one Howard Roark,
an incompetent amateur...</i>

578
00:41:19,343 --> 00:41:22,506
<i>...who has the arrogance
to hold his own ideas above all rules.</i>

579
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,081
You are architects and you should realize
that a man like Howard Roark...

580
00:41:26,250 --> 00:41:29,549
...is a threat to all of you.
The conflict of forms is too great.

581
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:32,211
Can your buildings stand
by the side of his?

582
00:41:32,389 --> 00:41:34,687
I believe you understand me, gentlemen.

583
00:41:34,859 --> 00:41:37,259
If you'll sign a protest
against the Enright House...

584
00:41:37,428 --> 00:41:39,726
<i>...the Banner will be glad to publish it...</i>

585
00:41:39,897 --> 00:41:43,458
...and we shall win
because there are thousands of us...

586
00:41:43,634 --> 00:41:46,102
...thousands against one.

587
00:41:46,971 --> 00:41:49,337
More of it. Look.
Letters to the editor.

588
00:41:49,507 --> 00:41:52,704
Thousands of them,
all screaming against that Enright House.

589
00:41:52,877 --> 00:41:54,401
Ellsworth, you're wonderful.

590
00:41:54,578 --> 00:41:58,207
How could you ever foresee
a public trend so well?

591
00:42:19,169 --> 00:42:22,536
- Roark.
- Mr. Enright.

592
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:24,901
Thanks.

593
00:42:25,509 --> 00:42:28,171
- Don't pay attention to
that public howling. - I don't.

594
00:42:28,345 --> 00:42:31,109
I've been denounced so much,
it doesn't bother me anymore.

595
00:42:31,282 --> 00:42:34,308
I started out in life as a coal miner.
Got where I am by acting...

596
00:42:34,485 --> 00:42:37,613
...on my own honest judgment
whether others liked it or not.

597
00:42:37,788 --> 00:42:40,780
When you grow older, you'll see
that's the only way to succeed.

598
00:42:40,958 --> 00:42:42,186
- I know it.
- They're tough.

599
00:42:42,359 --> 00:42:44,156
They're gonna get tougher, don't worry.

600
00:42:44,328 --> 00:42:45,818
- You'll win.
- I have.

601
00:42:46,797 --> 00:42:49,857
- That's the only defense you need.
- I'll rest on the evidence.

602
00:42:50,034 --> 00:42:51,695
That's exactly what I'm going to do.

603
00:42:51,869 --> 00:42:53,530
I'll be the first tenant to move in.

604
00:42:53,704 --> 00:42:56,468
I'll give a party to celebrate the
opening of Enright House.

605
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,939
I'll invite them: The press,
the architects, the critics. Let them see.

606
00:43:00,110 --> 00:43:02,874
They think we're gonna apologize.
We'll celebrate instead.

607
00:43:13,557 --> 00:43:15,525
I have nothing to say
about this building.

608
00:43:15,693 --> 00:43:19,891
God gave you eyes and a mind to use. If
you fail to do so, the loss is yours not mine.

609
00:43:20,064 --> 00:43:21,429
Don't you want to convince me?

610
00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:24,329
Is there any reason
why that should be my concern?

611
00:43:28,739 --> 00:43:31,731
I dread to think of the fate
of Howard Roark, whoever he is.

612
00:43:31,909 --> 00:43:35,845
- Why? You don't think he's good?
- He's too good.

613
00:43:43,921 --> 00:43:46,481
- Dominique.
- Hello, Peter.

614
00:43:46,657 --> 00:43:49,785
What a pleasure to see you again.
You look more beautiful than ever.

615
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,157
What do you think of this building?
I'm taking a poll of the guests...

616
00:43:53,330 --> 00:43:55,525
- A what?
- A poll of opinion about it.

617
00:43:55,699 --> 00:43:59,294
What for? In order to find out
what you think of it yourself?

618
00:43:59,470 --> 00:44:02,303
We have to consider
public opinion, don't we?

619
00:44:05,876 --> 00:44:08,071
No, don't ever hire an architect
who's a genius.

620
00:44:08,245 --> 00:44:10,440
- I don't like geniuses. They're dangerous.
- How?

621
00:44:10,614 --> 00:44:13,640
A man abler than his brothers
insults them by implication.

622
00:44:13,817 --> 00:44:16,513
He must not aspire
to any virtue which cannot be shared.

623
00:44:16,687 --> 00:44:20,248
I wouldn't know about that intellectual
stuff. I play the stock market.

624
00:44:20,424 --> 00:44:23,154
I play the stock market of the spirit...

625
00:44:23,327 --> 00:44:25,261
...and I sell short.

626
00:44:25,429 --> 00:44:30,128
It's stunning, perfectly stunning, but
I wouldn't want to live in a house like this.

627
00:44:30,300 --> 00:44:33,326
One could never relax and feel homey.
You know what I mean.

628
00:44:33,504 --> 00:44:37,201
- Comfortable and sloppy and, well, homey.
- No, one couldn't.

629
00:44:41,845 --> 00:44:43,870
- Dominique.
- Yes, Father.

630
00:44:44,048 --> 00:44:47,176
I can't understand how my own daughter
can approve of this mess.

631
00:44:47,351 --> 00:44:50,047
This is such uncivilized taste.
Are you going to defend it?

632
00:44:50,220 --> 00:44:52,552
No, I won't try to defend it.

633
00:44:52,723 --> 00:44:56,090
Mr. Francon, that stairway,
it's not bad. It's a clever idea.

634
00:44:56,260 --> 00:44:59,525
I'm designing a building right now
where I can use an idea like this...

635
00:44:59,697 --> 00:45:01,665
...and I'd have to adapt it, of course.

636
00:45:01,832 --> 00:45:05,529
Well, if one gave it some elegance...
You know, a touch of Greek ornament.

637
00:45:05,703 --> 00:45:09,070
The engineering idea is brilliant.
I could use it myself.

638
00:45:37,768 --> 00:45:39,326
Hello. I've been waiting for you.

639
00:45:39,503 --> 00:45:42,961
You're the guest of honor tonight,
in more than just the social sense.

640
00:45:43,140 --> 00:45:45,131
Whom do you want to meet first?

641
00:45:45,309 --> 00:45:48,039
There's Dominique Francon looking at us.

642
00:45:48,212 --> 00:45:49,770
Come on.

643
00:45:55,085 --> 00:45:58,418
Miss Francon, may I present
Howard Roark?

644
00:45:59,056 --> 00:46:00,421
You're...

645
00:46:00,591 --> 00:46:02,786
...Howard Roark?
- Yes, Miss Francon.

646
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,986
You don't know it, but Miss Francon
has a connection with you.

647
00:46:06,163 --> 00:46:09,360
<i>She resigned from the Banner to
protest their attack on your building.</i>

648
00:46:09,533 --> 00:46:11,433
- How did you know that?
- I heard about it.

649
00:46:11,602 --> 00:46:14,969
- I didn't want Mr. Roark to know it.
- Why not, Miss Francon?

650
00:46:15,139 --> 00:46:17,630
It was a perfectly futile gesture
on my part.

651
00:46:17,808 --> 00:46:21,437
Dominique won't admit it, but she admires
your buildings. She understands them.

652
00:46:21,612 --> 00:46:24,206
- I expected her to understand them.
- Did you?

653
00:46:24,381 --> 00:46:28,818
- But you didn't know me.
- I used to read your column, Miss Francon.

654
00:46:29,219 --> 00:46:31,744
I admire your work
more than anything I've ever seen.

655
00:46:31,922 --> 00:46:35,380
You may realize that this is not a tie,
but a gulf between us...

656
00:46:35,559 --> 00:46:37,925
...if you remember what you read
in my column.

657
00:46:38,262 --> 00:46:40,287
I remember every line of it.

658
00:46:41,465 --> 00:46:46,334
I wish I had never seen your building.
It's the things that we admire or want...

659
00:46:46,503 --> 00:46:49,165
...that enslave us,
I'm not easy to bring into submission.

660
00:46:50,841 --> 00:46:55,403
That depends upon the strength
of your adversary, Miss Francon.

661
00:46:58,081 --> 00:46:59,343
Well?

662
00:46:59,516 --> 00:47:01,347
Roger, why did you bring him here?

663
00:47:01,518 --> 00:47:03,383
Why did you deliver him
to these people?

664
00:47:03,554 --> 00:47:06,489
Don't you see he doesn't
have a chance against them?

665
00:47:11,695 --> 00:47:13,424
Come in.

666
00:47:22,873 --> 00:47:24,500
I expected you to come here.

667
00:47:24,842 --> 00:47:27,834
I didn't know your name.
You knew mine.

668
00:47:28,011 --> 00:47:30,411
But you haven't tried to find me
in all these months.

669
00:47:31,215 --> 00:47:33,979
I wanted you to find me
and have to come to me.

670
00:47:35,385 --> 00:47:37,945
If it gives you pleasure
that you're breaking me down...

671
00:47:38,121 --> 00:47:40,316
...I'll give you a greater satisfaction.

672
00:47:41,158 --> 00:47:42,386
I love you, Roark.

673
00:47:43,327 --> 00:47:46,728
Would it please you to hear that
I've lived in torture all these months...

674
00:47:47,197 --> 00:47:49,757
...hoping never to find you,
wishing to give my life...

675
00:47:49,933 --> 00:47:52,060
...just to see you once more?

676
00:47:52,936 --> 00:47:56,497
But you knew that, of course. That's
what you wanted me to live through.

677
00:47:57,207 --> 00:47:59,937
- Yes.
- Why don't you laugh at me now? You won.

678
00:48:00,577 --> 00:48:03,102
I have no pride left to stop me.

679
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,477
I love you without dignity,
without regret.

680
00:48:06,984 --> 00:48:09,145
I came to tell you this...

681
00:48:09,319 --> 00:48:11,617
...and to tell you
that you'll never see me again.

682
00:48:12,956 --> 00:48:16,221
You want to know whether
you can make me suffer, don't you?

683
00:48:16,393 --> 00:48:18,224
You can.

684
00:48:18,428 --> 00:48:20,623
Roark, you're everything
I've always wanted.

685
00:48:20,797 --> 00:48:24,289
And that's why I hoped
I'd never meet anyone like you.

686
00:48:24,468 --> 00:48:27,335
I'll give you up now myself
rather than watch you destroyed...

687
00:48:27,504 --> 00:48:29,301
...by a world where you have no chance.

688
00:48:29,473 --> 00:48:32,670
- Why are you afraid?
- I know what they'll do to you.

689
00:48:32,843 --> 00:48:35,676
You had the genius
that made the Enright House.

690
00:48:35,846 --> 00:48:38,644
But you were working like a convict
in a granite quarry.

691
00:48:38,815 --> 00:48:40,646
- I chose to do it.
- Why?

692
00:48:40,817 --> 00:48:42,250
Don't you know why?

693
00:48:42,419 --> 00:48:45,013
Yes. Because you won't conform.

694
00:48:45,188 --> 00:48:48,453
They'll drive you down again.
Stone quarry's all you can expect.

695
00:48:48,625 --> 00:48:51,253
- I got out of the quarry.
- Did you?

696
00:48:51,862 --> 00:48:54,626
Do you think the Enright House
is your beginning?

697
00:48:55,032 --> 00:48:57,227
It's your death sentence.

698
00:48:57,701 --> 00:48:59,828
Has any other client come to you?

699
00:49:00,003 --> 00:49:01,527
No.

700
00:49:01,772 --> 00:49:03,205
They won't.

701
00:49:03,373 --> 00:49:06,035
They hate you for the greatness
of your achievement.

702
00:49:06,209 --> 00:49:08,507
They hate you for your integrity.

703
00:49:08,679 --> 00:49:12,410
They hate you because they know
they can neither corrupt you nor rule you.

704
00:49:12,783 --> 00:49:15,081
They won't let you survive.

705
00:49:16,386 --> 00:49:18,854
Roark, they'll destroy you.

706
00:49:20,424 --> 00:49:22,824
But I won't be there to see it happen.

707
00:49:36,807 --> 00:49:38,707
Do you want to leave me?

708
00:49:48,051 --> 00:49:52,215
I've loved you from the first moment
I saw you, and you knew it.

709
00:49:52,556 --> 00:49:54,786
You tried to escape from it.

710
00:49:55,392 --> 00:49:58,384
I had to let you learn to accept it.

711
00:50:00,364 --> 00:50:02,662
Are you gonna leave me?

712
00:50:04,634 --> 00:50:06,329
Yes.

713
00:50:06,770 --> 00:50:08,795
I won't stop you.

714
00:50:09,473 --> 00:50:12,203
Roark, don't you see?
I don't want to leave you.

715
00:50:12,376 --> 00:50:13,968
Will you marry me?

716
00:50:14,144 --> 00:50:16,044
I want to stay with you.

717
00:50:16,213 --> 00:50:19,080
We'll take a house in some small town,
I'll keep it for you.

718
00:50:19,249 --> 00:50:23,208
Don't laugh. I can. I'll cook, I'll wash
your clothes, I'll scrub the floor...

719
00:50:23,387 --> 00:50:25,412
...and you'll give up architecture.

720
00:50:25,589 --> 00:50:28,149
If you give it up,
I'll remain with you forever...

721
00:50:28,325 --> 00:50:32,455
...but I can't bear to stand by and see you
moving to some terrible disaster.

722
00:50:32,629 --> 00:50:35,496
It can't end any other way.
Save yourself from tragedy.

723
00:50:35,665 --> 00:50:37,565
Take a meaningless job.

724
00:50:37,734 --> 00:50:40,464
We'll live only for each other.

725
00:50:41,705 --> 00:50:44,833
I wish I could tell you
it was a temptation.

726
00:50:45,742 --> 00:50:48,336
Roark, yes or no?

727
00:50:48,612 --> 00:50:50,136
No.

728
00:50:56,186 --> 00:50:59,451
You must learn not to be afraid
of the world, not to take any notice.

729
00:50:59,623 --> 00:51:01,181
I must let you learn it.

730
00:51:01,358 --> 00:51:03,986
When you have,
you'll come back to me.

731
00:51:04,161 --> 00:51:06,425
They won't destroy me, Dominique.

732
00:51:06,596 --> 00:51:08,029
I'll wait for you.

733
00:51:08,198 --> 00:51:09,756
I love you.

734
00:51:09,933 --> 00:51:13,733
I'm saying it now
for all the years we'll have to wait.

735
00:51:15,639 --> 00:51:18,631
I'd do anything to escape from you.

736
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:48,066
I could've expected anything on my return
except to see you coming here to meet me.

737
00:51:48,238 --> 00:51:51,435
If I wanted to delude myself,
I'd think you were impatient to see me.

738
00:51:51,608 --> 00:51:53,200
- I was.
- I'm very happy, my dear...

739
00:51:53,376 --> 00:51:54,536
...no matter your reason.

740
00:51:54,711 --> 00:51:56,872
I'm honest enough to warn you,
you shouldn't be.

741
00:51:57,047 --> 00:51:59,447
I realize that.
What was your reason?

742
00:51:59,616 --> 00:52:03,074
If you found another request to make of me,
I like to be able to grant it.

743
00:52:03,253 --> 00:52:07,747
No. I didn't come to make a request
but to grant you one of yours.

744
00:52:07,924 --> 00:52:09,357
You still wish me to marry you?

745
00:52:09,526 --> 00:52:12,552
More than anything
I was ever capable of wishing.

746
00:52:12,729 --> 00:52:14,663
I'll marry you.

747
00:52:19,269 --> 00:52:22,397
- Don't you want to ask me any questions?
- No.

748
00:52:23,073 --> 00:52:26,099
Thank you.
You're making it easier for me.

749
00:52:26,476 --> 00:52:28,569
Whatever your reason, I shall accept it.

750
00:52:28,745 --> 00:52:31,839
What I want to find in our marriage
will remain my own concern.

751
00:52:32,015 --> 00:52:35,416
I exact no promises
and impose no obligations.

752
00:52:35,585 --> 00:52:39,681
Incidentally, since it is of no importance
to you, I love you.

753
00:52:51,635 --> 00:52:55,230
No, Mr. Roark, there is too much talk
and public resentment against you.

754
00:52:55,405 --> 00:52:59,364
We can't take part in controversies.
We can't afford to arouse antagonism.

755
00:52:59,543 --> 00:53:03,479
I'm sorry, but we find it impossible to
give you the commission for our building.

756
00:53:03,647 --> 00:53:09,051
As one of our directors said, "You can't
expect us to stick our necks out. "

757
00:53:09,219 --> 00:53:11,687
No, and I don't expect it.

758
00:54:47,550 --> 00:54:49,381
Hello, Mr. Roark.

759
00:54:49,552 --> 00:54:53,079
I hoped I'd meet you someday,
like this, alone.

760
00:54:53,256 --> 00:54:56,453
- You shouldn't mind talking to me.
- What about?

761
00:54:57,093 --> 00:54:59,118
There's a building
that should've been yours.

762
00:54:59,296 --> 00:55:03,528
There are buildings going up all over the city,
chances refused to you and given to fools.

763
00:55:04,100 --> 00:55:07,831
You're walking the streets while they do
the work you love but cannot obtain.

764
00:55:08,204 --> 00:55:10,104
This city is closed to you.

765
00:55:10,273 --> 00:55:12,104
It is I who have done it.

766
00:55:12,275 --> 00:55:14,869
- Don't you want to know my motive?
- No.

767
00:55:15,512 --> 00:55:19,039
I'm fighting you, and I shall fight you
in every way I can.

768
00:55:19,449 --> 00:55:22,418
- You're free to do what you please.
- Mr. Roark, we're alone here.

769
00:55:22,585 --> 00:55:25,782
Why don't you tell me what you think of me
in any words you wish?

770
00:55:25,955 --> 00:55:28,253
But I don't think of you.

771
00:55:36,966 --> 00:55:38,957
It's great, Mr. Roark. It's wonderful.

772
00:55:39,135 --> 00:55:42,400
Ever since I saw the Enright House,
I knew you were the man I wanted.

773
00:55:42,572 --> 00:55:45,405
But I was afraid you wouldn't do
an unimportant gas station...

774
00:55:45,575 --> 00:55:47,600
...for me after doing
skyscrapers.

775
00:55:47,777 --> 00:55:51,178
No building is unimportant.
I'll build for any man who wants me.

776
00:55:51,348 --> 00:55:54,249
Anywhere, so long as I build my way.

777
00:56:44,167 --> 00:56:46,795
Your career has been as unprecedented
as your buildings.

778
00:56:46,970 --> 00:56:50,303
<i>I never knew anybody to survive
one of the Banner's smear campaigns.</i>

779
00:56:50,473 --> 00:56:52,873
Everything was against you.
How'd you break through?

780
00:56:53,042 --> 00:56:56,637
<i>- What'd you think of the Banner's campaign?
- It was a vicious appeal to fools.</i>

781
00:56:56,813 --> 00:56:58,576
Haven't you answered
your own question?

782
00:56:58,748 --> 00:57:01,740
<i>But you had years torn out of your life,
wasted by the Banner.</i>

783
00:57:01,918 --> 00:57:05,854
No. All these years, I've found some one
man who wanted my work...

784
00:57:06,022 --> 00:57:09,423
...one man who saw through his own eyes
and thought with his own brain.

785
00:57:09,592 --> 00:57:12,652
Such men may be rare, they may be
unknown, but they move the world.

786
00:57:12,829 --> 00:57:15,491
- How did you look for them?
- I didn't. They called for me.

787
00:57:15,665 --> 00:57:18,725
Any man who calls for me
is my kind of man.

788
00:57:28,511 --> 00:57:30,172
This is probably something very big.

789
00:57:30,346 --> 00:57:33,440
I made an appointment for you,
3:00 this afternoon at his office.

790
00:57:33,750 --> 00:57:36,844
- Whose office?
- He telephoned half an hour ago.

791
00:57:37,020 --> 00:57:40,353
Mr. Gail Wynand.

792
00:58:06,649 --> 00:58:09,117
- I don't think you'll want to work for me.
- Why?

793
00:58:09,285 --> 00:58:13,085
You ought to feel contempt for me if
you've seen the kind of buildings I put up.

794
00:58:13,256 --> 00:58:15,622
- You're honest, aren't you?
- Thank you.

795
00:58:15,792 --> 00:58:18,124
That's the first time
anyone said that about me...

796
00:58:18,294 --> 00:58:20,421
...and it's one of the few times
when I am.

797
00:58:20,597 --> 00:58:23,691
What I want you to build
is not for the public. It's for me.

798
00:58:23,867 --> 00:58:25,391
- What is it?
- My home...

799
00:58:25,568 --> 00:58:28,560
A country house
just for my wife and me.

800
00:58:29,038 --> 00:58:31,165
Did Mrs. Wynand choose me for the job?

801
00:58:31,341 --> 00:58:34,640
No, Mrs. Wynand doesn't know anything
about this. It's my own project.

802
00:58:34,811 --> 00:58:38,770
I've looked at buildings all over the country.
Every time I saw one that I liked...

803
00:58:38,948 --> 00:58:42,645
...and asked who designed it,
the answer was always Howard Roark.

804
00:58:45,488 --> 00:58:50,653
I want you to know that I have
very little respect for anything on earth.

805
00:58:50,827 --> 00:58:53,853
The only thing I worship,
and I've seen so little of it in life...

806
00:58:54,030 --> 00:58:56,498
...is man's ability to produce work
such as yours.

807
00:58:57,700 --> 00:58:59,065
I believe you.

808
00:58:59,235 --> 00:59:01,135
Why do you say that as if it hurt you?

809
00:59:01,304 --> 00:59:02,828
It doesn't.

810
00:59:03,006 --> 00:59:05,338
Don't hold them against me,
the things I've built.

811
00:59:05,508 --> 00:59:09,376
<i>Those worthless commercial structures
and papers like the Banner made it possible...</i>

812
00:59:09,546 --> 00:59:12,709
...for me to have a house by you.
They're the means, you're the end.

813
00:59:12,882 --> 00:59:15,442
Don't apologize for your past.
It isn't necessary.

814
00:59:15,952 --> 00:59:17,579
You do have courage, don't you?

815
00:59:17,754 --> 00:59:20,018
No one else would dare
say that to me.

816
00:59:20,189 --> 00:59:23,124
But you're right. I was apologizing.
You see, I need you.

817
00:59:23,293 --> 00:59:27,320
That house means a great deal to me,
and you're the only one who can design it.

818
00:59:27,497 --> 00:59:29,089
What kind of a house do you want?

819
00:59:29,265 --> 00:59:32,860
Far from the city. I bought the land.
A place in Connecticut, 500 acres.

820
00:59:33,036 --> 00:59:35,630
What kind of a house?
The cost, whatever you need.

821
00:59:35,805 --> 00:59:39,138
The appearance, whatever you wish.
The purpose...

822
00:59:41,010 --> 00:59:45,504
You see, I want this house because
I'm very desperately in love with my wife.

823
00:59:45,949 --> 00:59:48,179
What's the matter?
You think that's irrelevant?

824
00:59:48,351 --> 00:59:50,148
No. Go on.

825
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,653
I can't stand to see my wife
among other people.

826
00:59:53,823 --> 00:59:56,053
It's not jealousy.
It's much more and much worse.

827
00:59:56,225 --> 00:59:58,489
I can't share her
with anyone or anything.

828
00:59:58,661 --> 01:00:02,290
I want a house
that will be only mine and hers.

829
01:00:02,465 --> 01:00:05,559
Think of it as you would think
of a fortress...

830
01:00:05,735 --> 01:00:07,293
...and of a temple.

831
01:00:07,470 --> 01:00:10,234
A temple
to Dominique Wynand.

832
01:00:10,506 --> 01:00:12,838
I want you to meet her
before you design it.

833
01:00:13,009 --> 01:00:15,569
I've met Mrs. Wynand some years ago.

834
01:00:15,745 --> 01:00:19,181
- You have? Then you understand.
- I do.

835
01:00:20,149 --> 01:00:22,811
Start work at once.
Drop anything else you're doing.

836
01:00:22,986 --> 01:00:24,954
I'll pay whatever...

837
01:00:25,922 --> 01:00:27,184
Forgive me.

838
01:00:27,357 --> 01:00:29,587
Too much association
with bad architects.

839
01:00:29,759 --> 01:00:32,557
I haven't asked you
whether you wanna do it.

840
01:00:34,263 --> 01:00:37,061
Yes. I'll do it.

841
01:00:41,804 --> 01:00:44,830
- What's the matter, Gail?
- Good evening, dear. Why?

842
01:00:45,008 --> 01:00:47,909
- You look as if you felt happy.
- I feel as if I were young...

843
01:00:48,077 --> 01:00:51,444
...as I did when I was starting and
believed the road ahead was clean...

844
01:00:51,614 --> 01:00:52,911
...and honesty was possible.

845
01:00:53,082 --> 01:00:55,573
- You want it to be possible?
- Yes. I never realized...

846
01:00:55,752 --> 01:00:57,515
...how much I wanted to find it.

847
01:00:57,687 --> 01:01:00,781
Dominique, you look
very beautiful tonight.

848
01:01:00,957 --> 01:01:04,120
No. That's not what
I wanted to say. It's this:

849
01:01:04,293 --> 01:01:07,160
I feel for the first time
that I have a right to you.

850
01:01:07,330 --> 01:01:09,924
- You thought you hadn't?
- No, and that I'd never earn it.

851
01:01:10,099 --> 01:01:12,590
But now I believe nothing
will take you away from me...

852
01:01:12,769 --> 01:01:14,669
Nothing and no one.

853
01:01:15,071 --> 01:01:16,902
- I don't love you, Gail.
- I know it...

854
01:01:17,073 --> 01:01:19,098
...but you'd never loved anyone else.

855
01:01:19,275 --> 01:01:21,607
- What makes you think so?
- It wouldn't be like you.

856
01:01:21,778 --> 01:01:25,441
You'd never surrender to anyone,
but you don't hate me any longer.

857
01:01:25,615 --> 01:01:30,211
No. I've found we have
a great deal in common, you and I.

858
01:01:30,386 --> 01:01:33,549
We both had strength,
but not courage.

859
01:01:33,823 --> 01:01:36,189
We've committed
the same kind of treason some way.

860
01:01:36,359 --> 01:01:39,328
If I have, I feel as if
I've been forgiven tonight.

861
01:01:39,495 --> 01:01:41,395
- Why?
- I don't know.

862
01:01:41,564 --> 01:01:43,657
You've always wanted
to escape from the world.

863
01:01:43,833 --> 01:01:46,666
Would you like to live in the
country, away from everything...

864
01:01:46,836 --> 01:01:49,396
<i>...away from the Banner?
- Yes. Yes, I would.</i>

865
01:01:49,572 --> 01:01:51,267
I'm having a house designed for us.

866
01:01:51,441 --> 01:01:53,341
It will be my greatest gift to you.

867
01:01:53,509 --> 01:01:56,808
If I've been guilty in my life,
this house will vindicate me.

868
01:01:56,979 --> 01:02:00,938
- Who is designing it?
- The only man of genius I ever met.

869
01:02:01,117 --> 01:02:03,051
His name is Howard Roark.

870
01:02:04,987 --> 01:02:06,579
Gail.

871
01:02:06,856 --> 01:02:10,519
<i>Do you happen to remember
why I resigned from the Banner?</i>

872
01:02:10,693 --> 01:02:13,218
It was because of a campaign...

873
01:02:13,663 --> 01:02:16,131
...against the Enright House.

874
01:02:20,203 --> 01:02:23,036
<i>Just one of the Banner's
smear campaigns!</i>

875
01:02:23,206 --> 01:02:25,731
Not important enough
to remember, was it, Gail?

876
01:02:25,908 --> 01:02:28,502
You staged so many of them.

877
01:02:28,678 --> 01:02:31,044
You were away on your yacht.

878
01:02:34,350 --> 01:02:37,410
He was just some architect
whom you threw to the mob.

879
01:02:37,954 --> 01:02:41,321
It built circulation. Didn't it, Gail?

880
01:02:41,491 --> 01:02:44,187
When I spoke to him,
he didn't remind me of it.

881
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:45,691
Why should he?

882
01:02:45,862 --> 01:02:47,420
He knows he's won.

883
01:02:47,597 --> 01:02:51,192
He could afford to be generous.
I don't accept generosity.

884
01:02:51,367 --> 01:02:55,428
I never thought
he could win against you, but he has.

885
01:02:55,605 --> 01:02:58,267
Maybe we're wrong
about the world, you and I.

886
01:02:58,441 --> 01:03:00,773
He's the one who's earned
the right to despise us.

887
01:03:00,943 --> 01:03:04,504
Has he? That's a right
I'll never grant to anyone on earth.

888
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,911
There are no men of integrity, are there?

889
01:03:08,584 --> 01:03:10,051
Well, you've met one.

890
01:03:10,219 --> 01:03:13,620
There aren't.
He's not any better than the rest of us.

891
01:03:14,157 --> 01:03:17,752
- What if he is?
- Lf he were, I'd break him.

892
01:03:17,994 --> 01:03:20,360
Nobody can break him.

893
01:03:21,564 --> 01:03:23,691
I'll find out.

894
01:03:29,272 --> 01:03:31,797
Why did you accept this commission?
Don't you hate me?

895
01:03:31,974 --> 01:03:33,601
No. Why should I?

896
01:03:33,776 --> 01:03:35,903
- Do you want me to speak of it first?
- Of what?

897
01:03:36,078 --> 01:03:37,443
The Enright House.

898
01:03:37,613 --> 01:03:40,776
You had forgotten that, hadn't you?
Let it remain forgotten.

899
01:03:40,950 --> 01:03:44,078
<i>I know what the Banner has done to you,
but I stand by every word...</i>

900
01:03:44,253 --> 01:03:46,847
<i>...in the Banner.
- I haven't asked you to retract it.</i>

901
01:03:47,023 --> 01:03:49,491
Mr. Roark, I was away
at the time of that campaign...

902
01:03:49,659 --> 01:03:51,889
...but my editor was doing
what I had taught him.

903
01:03:52,061 --> 01:03:54,029
Had I been in town,
I'd have done the same.

904
01:03:54,363 --> 01:03:57,890
- That was your privilege.
- You don't believe I would have done it.

905
01:03:58,167 --> 01:04:00,135
- No.
- I haven't asked you...

906
01:04:00,303 --> 01:04:03,033
...for compliments or for pity.
Sit down.

907
01:04:05,174 --> 01:04:08,302
I wish to sign a contract
to make you sole architect...

908
01:04:08,477 --> 01:04:10,604
...for all the future buildings I may erect.

909
01:04:10,780 --> 01:04:12,543
If you accept, you will make a
fortune.

910
01:04:12,715 --> 01:04:15,411
If you refuse, I will see to it
that you never build again.

911
01:04:15,585 --> 01:04:18,383
You may have heard.
I don't like to be refused.

912
01:04:18,554 --> 01:04:21,114
I want you to design
my future commercial structures...

913
01:04:21,290 --> 01:04:23,349
...as the public wishes
them to be designed.

914
01:04:23,526 --> 01:04:26,825
You will build colonial houses,
Rococo hotels...

915
01:04:26,996 --> 01:04:29,294
...and semi-Grecian office buildings.

916
01:04:29,465 --> 01:04:32,457
You will take your spectacular talent
and make it subservient...

917
01:04:32,635 --> 01:04:34,330
...to the taste of the masses.

918
01:04:34,503 --> 01:04:36,471
That is what I want.

919
01:04:37,874 --> 01:04:40,741
Of course. I'll be glad to do it.

920
01:04:41,310 --> 01:04:43,210
It's easy.

921
01:05:14,076 --> 01:05:16,067
This what you want?

922
01:05:20,883 --> 01:05:22,248
Good heavens, no.

923
01:05:22,418 --> 01:05:26,354
Then shut up and don't ever let me hear
any architectural suggestions.

924
01:05:28,257 --> 01:05:31,385
I didn't think anyone would waste time
trying to tempt me again.

925
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:34,085
- I meant it until I saw that.
- I knew you meant it.

926
01:05:34,263 --> 01:05:35,924
You were taking a terrible chance.

927
01:05:36,098 --> 01:05:38,032
Not at all. I had an ally I could trust.

928
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,031
- What, your integrity?
- Yours, Gail.

929
01:05:40,202 --> 01:05:41,669
Why do you think that about me?

930
01:05:42,338 --> 01:05:45,466
Why don't you admit to yourself
what we both knew the moment we met?

931
01:05:45,641 --> 01:05:47,404
- What?
- That we are alike, you and I.

932
01:05:47,677 --> 01:05:50,339
<i>You're saying it about Gail Wynand
of the New York Banner?</i>

933
01:05:50,513 --> 01:05:52,640
I'm saying it.
Gail Wynand of Hell's Kitchen...

934
01:05:52,815 --> 01:05:55,750
...who had the strength and spirit
to rise by his own effort...

935
01:05:55,918 --> 01:05:59,718
...but who made a bad mistake
about the way he chose.

936
01:05:59,889 --> 01:06:02,323
No. You shouldn't deal with me.

937
01:06:02,491 --> 01:06:04,356
You shouldn't remain here.

938
01:06:04,527 --> 01:06:07,519
- You wish to throw me out?
- You know I can't.

939
01:06:07,697 --> 01:06:09,892
Shall I tell you now what I think of this?

940
01:06:10,066 --> 01:06:11,590
You told me.

941
01:06:11,834 --> 01:06:13,825
I'll take this drawing home
to show my wife.

942
01:06:14,003 --> 01:06:16,471
I want her to see it
and to thank you in person.

943
01:06:16,639 --> 01:06:19,301
Will you come
and have dinner with us tonight?

944
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:22,033
Will you?

945
01:06:23,312 --> 01:06:24,870
Yes.

946
01:06:37,059 --> 01:06:40,119
- Howard.
- Good evening, Gail.

947
01:06:41,931 --> 01:06:43,228
You two know each other.

948
01:06:43,399 --> 01:06:45,629
- How do you do, Mr. Roark?
- And you, Mrs. Wynand?

949
01:06:45,801 --> 01:06:49,601
Thank you for the house you designed for
us. It's one of your most beautiful.

950
01:06:49,772 --> 01:06:52,332
If you like it, I've fulfilled
your husband's order.

951
01:06:52,508 --> 01:06:53,998
What was the order?

952
01:06:54,176 --> 01:06:56,872
To design a house as a temple
to you, Mrs. Wynand.

953
01:06:57,980 --> 01:07:01,609
Shall I accept it as a tribute
from Gail or from you?

954
01:07:01,784 --> 01:07:03,046
From both of us.

955
01:07:04,620 --> 01:07:06,485
I appreciate it.

956
01:07:06,655 --> 01:07:09,920
Particularly since I would have expected you
to refuse the commission.

957
01:07:10,092 --> 01:07:11,684
Why?

958
01:07:11,861 --> 01:07:14,830
Was there nothing in your past
to make you refuse it?

959
01:07:14,997 --> 01:07:16,828
- No.
- Thank you, Howard.

960
01:07:16,999 --> 01:07:20,196
I never expected you
to forget and give in.

961
01:07:20,403 --> 01:07:22,564
Isn't Mr. Roark the man you said
you'd break?

962
01:07:22,738 --> 01:07:24,205
I tried it and lost.

963
01:07:25,074 --> 01:07:27,474
Are you admitting defeat?
Both of you?

964
01:07:27,643 --> 01:07:31,773
Do you wish to call it that?
I think it was a victory for both of us.

965
01:07:32,882 --> 01:07:35,146
Your feeling, once granted...

966
01:07:35,317 --> 01:07:36,750
...will you ever withdraw it?

967
01:07:37,953 --> 01:07:39,614
Never.

968
01:07:41,424 --> 01:07:43,722
Have you studied the floor plans
of the house?

969
01:07:43,893 --> 01:07:47,659
I should like to know whether
the arrangement of the rooms is convenient.

970
01:07:47,830 --> 01:07:49,593
- The rooms?
- Yes. The living room...

971
01:07:49,765 --> 01:07:53,531
...will open to a terrace over the lake.
- Did you notice the windows of our room?

972
01:07:53,702 --> 01:07:58,264
- We'll get the first sunlight in the morning.
- You think I could ever live in that house?

973
01:07:58,441 --> 01:08:02,707
- Why not?
- I can't. Please.

974
01:08:02,945 --> 01:08:04,936
- Don't ask me to live in it.
- Why not?

975
01:08:05,114 --> 01:08:07,082
Dominique, what is it?

976
01:08:07,783 --> 01:08:09,341
Nothing.

977
01:08:09,518 --> 01:08:11,884
Only the constant reminder.

978
01:08:12,054 --> 01:08:17,287
- After the Enright House, we have no right.
- Please, forget the Enright House.

979
01:08:17,526 --> 01:08:19,426
Yes, Mr. Roark.

980
01:08:20,463 --> 01:08:23,591
I wouldn't be so frightened if I could
understand. What have I done?

981
01:08:23,766 --> 01:08:25,927
- Why did it happen?
- What are you whining about?

982
01:08:26,102 --> 01:08:29,833
There's no use kidding myself. I've been
slipping ever since Guy Francon retired.

983
01:08:30,005 --> 01:08:33,031
I've had less work each year.
People are dropping me. Why?

984
01:08:33,209 --> 01:08:35,177
You were a fashion, Peter.
Fashions change.

985
01:08:35,344 --> 01:08:38,541
But I was at the top.
Why did I fall like that without any reason?

986
01:08:38,714 --> 01:08:42,582
Don't be astonished, ask yourself, is
there any reason for you to be at the top?

987
01:08:42,751 --> 01:08:45,652
But you used to say
I was the greatest architect living.

988
01:08:46,422 --> 01:08:48,856
Well, I could have had two reasons
for saying it.

989
01:08:49,024 --> 01:08:51,049
Maybe I wanted to honor you...

990
01:08:51,227 --> 01:08:54,321
...and maybe I wanted to dishonor
and discredit all greatness.

991
01:08:54,497 --> 01:08:56,089
L... I thought you were my friend.

992
01:08:56,265 --> 01:09:00,065
Of course, I'm everybody's friend.
I'm the friend of humanity.

993
01:09:00,236 --> 01:09:02,727
Now, why did you come here?
What do you want?

994
01:09:04,073 --> 01:09:05,938
Cortlandt Homes.

995
01:09:07,409 --> 01:09:08,637
You're not serious.

996
01:09:08,978 --> 01:09:11,037
If I could get a great project to design...

997
01:09:11,213 --> 01:09:13,977
...like Cortlandt Homes, it would save
my reputation.

998
01:09:14,250 --> 01:09:17,378
But Cortlandt Homes is to be
the greatest of all housing projects.

999
01:09:17,553 --> 01:09:19,714
A model development
for the whole world.

1000
01:09:19,889 --> 01:09:21,186
You can help me, Ellsworth.

1001
01:09:21,357 --> 01:09:23,985
You have influence
on that project with those people.

1002
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,390
Don't forget that this is not
a Wynand project.

1003
01:09:26,562 --> 01:09:28,587
I'm only an unofficial adviser to them.

1004
01:09:28,764 --> 01:09:30,732
As an expert in architecture,
nothing else.

1005
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,991
But just a word
of recommendation from you.

1006
01:09:33,169 --> 01:09:36,070
But, Peter, do you imagine
you could design Cortlandt?

1007
01:09:36,238 --> 01:09:39,230
They haven't found anyone able to do it.
They're stuck.

1008
01:09:39,675 --> 01:09:42,508
Do you know the big problem
in housing? Economy.

1009
01:09:42,678 --> 01:09:45,875
How to design a building that
would rent at the lowest price possible.

1010
01:09:46,048 --> 01:09:48,312
Cortlandt Homes has to be
the most brilliant product...

1011
01:09:48,484 --> 01:09:51,317
...of planning ingenuity
and structural economy ever achieved.

1012
01:09:51,487 --> 01:09:53,011
Do you think you could do that?

1013
01:09:53,189 --> 01:09:55,180
Well, I could try. I'd do my best.

1014
01:09:55,991 --> 01:09:58,482
Your best won't do it, Peter.

1015
01:10:01,463 --> 01:10:03,795
But you may try if you wish.

1016
01:10:08,470 --> 01:10:11,633
Here's all the dope on Cortlandt.
Work out a preliminary scheme.

1017
01:10:11,807 --> 01:10:15,265
Solve the problem. I'll submit it
and push it for all I'm worth.

1018
01:10:15,444 --> 01:10:17,036
You will let me try.

1019
01:10:17,213 --> 01:10:19,773
All our best architects
have tried and failed.

1020
01:10:19,949 --> 01:10:22,884
Nothing can be done in life
without an idea.

1021
01:10:23,385 --> 01:10:26,115
My friends have the land,
the money, the material...

1022
01:10:26,288 --> 01:10:28,483
...but not the man
to originate the idea.

1023
01:10:28,657 --> 01:10:31,387
Howard, I'm a parasite.
I've been a parasite all my life.

1024
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,528
You helped me
with my projects in school.

1025
01:10:33,696 --> 01:10:36,995
Everything I've built was stolen from you
and men like you before us.

1026
01:10:37,166 --> 01:10:38,827
I've never had an idea of my own.

1027
01:10:39,001 --> 01:10:42,596
I've fed on you and hated you for it
and I've come here to ask you to save me.

1028
01:10:43,205 --> 01:10:46,106
- Go on.
- Cortlandt is my last chance.

1029
01:10:46,275 --> 01:10:48,106
I know I can't do it. I've tried.

1030
01:10:48,410 --> 01:10:51,971
I've come to beg you as I did in school
to design it for me.

1031
01:10:52,147 --> 01:10:55,082
To design it
and let me put my name on it.

1032
01:10:55,351 --> 01:10:57,649
Well, there's no reason
you should want to do it.

1033
01:10:57,820 --> 01:11:01,119
If you can solve their problem, go
to them and obtain the commission.

1034
01:11:01,557 --> 01:11:05,857
- Do you think I could get past Toohey?
- No. No, you couldn't.

1035
01:11:06,028 --> 01:11:08,360
He's not the only one.
I'll never be given a job...

1036
01:11:08,530 --> 01:11:11,260
...by any group, board, council,
or committee...

1037
01:11:11,433 --> 01:11:13,424
...but I would like to do this job.

1038
01:11:13,602 --> 01:11:16,196
You'd design Cortlandt for me?

1039
01:11:16,872 --> 01:11:18,601
I might if you offer me enough.

1040
01:11:18,774 --> 01:11:21,436
Howard, anything you ask. Anything.

1041
01:11:21,810 --> 01:11:23,937
Name a motive
that would make me want to do it.

1042
01:11:24,346 --> 01:11:26,473
There's no reason
why you should save me.

1043
01:11:26,649 --> 01:11:29,277
- No.
- But it's a humanitarian project.

1044
01:11:29,485 --> 01:11:31,112
Think of the people in the slums.

1045
01:11:31,287 --> 01:11:34,256
If you can give them decent housing,
you'd perform a noble deed.

1046
01:11:34,456 --> 01:11:36,424
Would you do it just for their sake?

1047
01:11:36,592 --> 01:11:40,050
No. The man who works for others
without payment is a slave.

1048
01:11:40,229 --> 01:11:42,288
I do not believe that slavery is noble.

1049
01:11:42,464 --> 01:11:46,025
Not in any form,
nor for any purpose whatsoever.

1050
01:11:46,201 --> 01:11:48,897
Is there any kind of payment
I can offer you?

1051
01:11:51,006 --> 01:11:52,701
Yes, there is.

1052
01:11:52,875 --> 01:11:54,604
Now, listen to me.

1053
01:11:54,910 --> 01:11:57,811
I've worked on the problem
of low-rent construction for years.

1054
01:11:57,980 --> 01:12:00,744
I've thought of the new inventions,
the new materials...

1055
01:12:00,916 --> 01:12:05,012
...the great possibilities never used
to build cheaply, simply, and intelligently.

1056
01:12:05,187 --> 01:12:07,951
I loved it because it was a problem
I wanted to solve.

1057
01:12:08,457 --> 01:12:10,049
Yes. I understand.

1058
01:12:10,993 --> 01:12:13,894
Peter, before you can do things
for people...

1059
01:12:14,063 --> 01:12:16,725
...you must be the kind of man
who can get things done.

1060
01:12:16,899 --> 01:12:21,893
But to get things done,
you must love the doing, not the people.

1061
01:12:22,071 --> 01:12:25,563
Your own work,
not any possible object of your charity.

1062
01:12:25,741 --> 01:12:30,007
I'll be glad if men who need it find a
better manner of living in a house I build...

1063
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:34,142
...but that's not the motive of my work,
nor my reason, nor my reward.

1064
01:12:34,516 --> 01:12:39,078
My reward, my purpose,
my life is the work itself.

1065
01:12:39,254 --> 01:12:40,983
My work done my way.

1066
01:12:41,156 --> 01:12:42,521
Nothing else matters to me.

1067
01:12:45,961 --> 01:12:48,623
I've always wanted to build
a large-scale project but I...

1068
01:12:48,797 --> 01:12:51,061
I never hoped to get the chance.

1069
01:12:53,102 --> 01:12:55,332
Now, here's what I'll offer you.

1070
01:12:55,971 --> 01:12:59,168
I will design Cortlandt.
You'll put your name on it.

1071
01:12:59,341 --> 01:13:03,471
You will keep all the fees,
but you will guarantee...

1072
01:13:03,645 --> 01:13:06,341
...that it will be built exactly
as I design it.

1073
01:13:07,049 --> 01:13:10,610
- I see.
- No changes by you or by anyone else.

1074
01:13:11,253 --> 01:13:13,084
That's the payment
I demand for my work.

1075
01:13:13,255 --> 01:13:18,249
My ideas are mine. Nobody else has a right
to them except on my terms.

1076
01:13:18,427 --> 01:13:21,225
Those who need them
must take them my way or not at all.

1077
01:13:21,397 --> 01:13:23,297
All right, Howard.

1078
01:13:24,032 --> 01:13:25,829
I guarantee it.

1079
01:13:26,001 --> 01:13:27,901
I give you my word.

1080
01:13:32,908 --> 01:13:34,466
Everybody would say
you're a fool.

1081
01:13:34,977 --> 01:13:37,309
That I'm getting everything.

1082
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:42,214
You'll get everything that society can give.
You'll take the money, the fame...

1083
01:13:42,384 --> 01:13:44,852
...and the gratitude and I'll take that...

1084
01:13:45,020 --> 01:13:47,716
...which nobody can give a man except
himself.

1085
01:13:48,824 --> 01:13:51,258
I will have built Cortlandt.

1086
01:13:52,928 --> 01:13:56,125
"After two years of futile attempts
to solve the problems involved...

1087
01:13:56,298 --> 01:14:00,029
...the design submitted by Peter Keating
is an astonishingly skillful solution...

1088
01:14:00,202 --> 01:14:03,660
...that provides the best living quarters
yet devised at the lowest cost. "

1089
01:14:03,839 --> 01:14:06,603
- What on earth are you up to?
- What do you mean?

1090
01:14:06,775 --> 01:14:09,141
Do you think I pick artworks
by their signatures?

1091
01:14:09,311 --> 01:14:10,642
Who designed that project?

1092
01:14:11,980 --> 01:14:13,447
Peter Keating.

1093
01:14:15,284 --> 01:14:17,081
Who designed this?

1094
01:14:17,719 --> 01:14:20,017
- Of course.
- What are you after?

1095
01:14:21,323 --> 01:14:22,756
- Drop it.
- All right.

1096
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:25,284
I won't try to guess your motive...

1097
01:14:25,461 --> 01:14:28,157
...but I'd know your work anywhere.

1098
01:14:29,398 --> 01:14:32,026
Howard, I never expected
to feel gratitude to anyone...

1099
01:14:32,201 --> 01:14:35,728
...but I'm grateful to you every moment
of the day in the house you built.

1100
01:14:35,904 --> 01:14:38,600
I'm learning so many things
I never expected to feel.

1101
01:14:38,774 --> 01:14:42,369
- What?
- The wonder of ownership.

1102
01:14:42,678 --> 01:14:46,079
I'm a millionaire who's never
owned anything. I've been public property...

1103
01:14:46,248 --> 01:14:47,476
...like a city billboard.

1104
01:14:47,649 --> 01:14:50,982
But this is mine. Here I'm safe.

1105
01:14:51,753 --> 01:14:54,381
Why didn't you come here yesterday?
I missed you.

1106
01:14:54,556 --> 01:14:57,081
- Too much work in the office.
- You're killing yourself.

1107
01:14:57,259 --> 01:14:59,989
- You've worked too hard for years.
- Haven't you?

1108
01:15:00,162 --> 01:15:03,598
Yes. We need a rest, both of us.

1109
01:15:03,765 --> 01:15:06,563
My yacht's been refitted.
I'm planning a long cruise.

1110
01:15:06,969 --> 01:15:09,096
I've meant to for years.
Go with me.

1111
01:15:09,271 --> 01:15:10,533
Gail, is this an obsession?

1112
01:15:10,706 --> 01:15:12,901
What is Mr. Roark to you?

1113
01:15:13,075 --> 01:15:14,440
My youth.

1114
01:15:14,610 --> 01:15:17,602
- Is he what you were in your youth?
- Oh, no, much more than that.

1115
01:15:17,779 --> 01:15:20,509
What I thought I'd be when I was 16.

1116
01:15:20,682 --> 01:15:23,207
I'm sure Mr. Roark
can't go on a yacht cruise.

1117
01:15:24,052 --> 01:15:26,350
Why, yes, Mrs. Wynand,
I'd be glad to go.

1118
01:15:27,422 --> 01:15:31,017
I thought, that you'd never give up
your work for anyone.

1119
01:15:31,426 --> 01:15:34,054
I won't give it up.
I'll take my first vacation.

1120
01:15:34,429 --> 01:15:36,192
You're willing to be away for months?

1121
01:15:36,598 --> 01:15:38,361
I'd enjoy it.

1122
01:15:39,668 --> 01:15:41,932
It's incredible.
I believe you're jealous.

1123
01:15:42,104 --> 01:15:43,435
Wonderful!

1124
01:15:43,605 --> 01:15:46,403
I'm even more grateful to you
if he's made you jealous of me.

1125
01:15:46,575 --> 01:15:48,600
Now, don't frown. I'll fix a drink.

1126
01:15:48,777 --> 01:15:50,005
We'll toast the cruise.

1127
01:15:56,852 --> 01:15:58,376
Roark.

1128
01:15:59,421 --> 01:16:01,048
Roark, don't go with him.

1129
01:16:01,223 --> 01:16:02,781
I can't stand this much longer.

1130
01:16:02,958 --> 01:16:04,550
I am jealous...

1131
01:16:04,726 --> 01:16:08,662
...of you and of every moment you give him,
of your impossible friendship.

1132
01:16:08,830 --> 01:16:13,699
- I don't want you to come here or like him.
- I don't want to discuss it, Mrs. Wynand.

1133
01:16:19,274 --> 01:16:21,538
Howard, that's where I was born,
Hell's Kitchen.

1134
01:16:21,710 --> 01:16:24,008
I own most of it now.
All those blocks.

1135
01:16:24,179 --> 01:16:27,910
I decided when I was 16 that that's
where the Wynand building would stand...

1136
01:16:28,083 --> 01:16:30,608
...and that it'd be
the tallest structure of the city.

1137
01:16:30,786 --> 01:16:32,754
What's the matter?
Do you want to build it?

1138
01:16:32,921 --> 01:16:36,880
- Do you want it pretty badly?
- I think I'd almost give my life for it.

1139
01:16:37,059 --> 01:16:39,186
- Is that what you wanted?
- Something like that.

1140
01:16:39,361 --> 01:16:41,955
I won't demand your life,
but it's nice to shock you.

1141
01:16:42,130 --> 01:16:44,098
I'll start to build it in a few years.

1142
01:16:44,266 --> 01:16:45,893
Do you know how much
it means to me?

1143
01:16:46,068 --> 01:16:48,901
- Yes. I know what you want.
- A monument to my life, Howard.

1144
01:16:49,071 --> 01:16:51,801
After I'm gone, that building
will be Gail Wynand.

1145
01:16:51,974 --> 01:16:55,205
My last and greatest achievement
will also be your greatest.

1146
01:16:55,377 --> 01:16:57,345
The Wynand building by Howard Roark.

1147
01:16:57,512 --> 01:17:00,970
I've waited for it from the day I was born.
From the day you were born...

1148
01:17:01,149 --> 01:17:05,848
...you've waited for your one great chance.
There it is, on the site of Hell's Kitchen.

1149
01:17:06,021 --> 01:17:07,921
Yours from me.

1150
01:17:12,894 --> 01:17:15,021
Please, Mr. Keating,
do let us stop arguing.

1151
01:17:15,197 --> 01:17:18,325
We've engaged Mr. Prescott and Mr. Webb
as your associate designers.

1152
01:17:18,500 --> 01:17:20,991
- What for?
- Well, it's such a tremendous project.

1153
01:17:21,169 --> 01:17:24,730
You can afford to share the credit with two
fellow architects who need a job.

1154
01:17:24,906 --> 01:17:28,171
Don't be selfish.
Besides, three minds are better than one.

1155
01:17:28,343 --> 01:17:30,140
But you've accepted my design.

1156
01:17:30,345 --> 01:17:33,439
Yes, of course. It's excellent,
but we must make some improvements.

1157
01:17:34,516 --> 01:17:37,076
- What improvements?
- Well, the thing's too bare.

1158
01:17:37,252 --> 01:17:38,879
We ought to add a few balconies.

1159
01:17:39,054 --> 01:17:40,316
Balconies? What for?

1160
01:17:40,489 --> 01:17:41,820
To give it a human touch.

1161
01:17:41,990 --> 01:17:44,686
We got to have some kind of trimming
over the entrance.

1162
01:17:45,694 --> 01:17:48,356
I won't allow it. It's my building.
It's my design.

1163
01:17:48,530 --> 01:17:51,158
But why shouldn't we
have any say at all?

1164
01:17:51,333 --> 01:17:53,597
We want to express
our individuality too.

1165
01:17:53,769 --> 01:17:54,997
On another man's work?

1166
01:17:55,170 --> 01:17:57,570
What the heck?
Any man's work is public property.

1167
01:17:58,674 --> 01:18:00,835
I can't let you.
Don't you understand? I can't.

1168
01:18:01,009 --> 01:18:03,569
Well, Peter, why not?
What's the matter?

1169
01:18:03,745 --> 01:18:06,270
You've never fought
with your clients before.

1170
01:18:06,448 --> 01:18:10,475
- Is there anything different in this case?
- They're ruining the building.

1171
01:18:10,652 --> 01:18:13,553
- Oh, I suppose so.
- What do you care?

1172
01:18:14,389 --> 01:18:17,153
You made a contract with me
that Cortlandt would be built...

1173
01:18:17,325 --> 01:18:20,783
...exactly as I designed it, I did
it only on that condition.

1174
01:18:20,962 --> 01:18:23,522
- What's a contract?
- You're old-fashioned, Keating.

1175
01:18:23,699 --> 01:18:26,793
- But I have a contract.
- What are you going to do about it? Sue us?

1176
01:18:26,968 --> 01:18:30,665
Go ahead. Try it.
You'll find that you can't sue us.

1177
01:18:31,173 --> 01:18:32,731
But you had no right to do this!

1178
01:18:32,908 --> 01:18:35,342
- What are rights, Peter?
- Whose rights?

1179
01:18:35,510 --> 01:18:38,843
Oh, what's the use of talking?
Let's go to work.

1180
01:18:56,164 --> 01:18:57,392
I couldn't help it, Howard.

1181
01:18:57,566 --> 01:18:59,557
They started making changes
without reason.

1182
01:18:59,735 --> 01:19:01,362
Everybody had authority
and nobody.

1183
01:19:01,536 --> 01:19:04,130
I tried to fight. They pushed me
from office to office.

1184
01:19:04,306 --> 01:19:06,001
- I couldn't help it.
- I suppose not.

1185
01:19:06,174 --> 01:19:09,234
I had no way to reach you.
I was waiting for you to come back.

1186
01:19:09,411 --> 01:19:11,208
I was afraid.

1187
01:19:11,546 --> 01:19:12,808
What are you going to do?

1188
01:19:12,981 --> 01:19:15,142
They've got such a setup,
you can't sue them.

1189
01:19:15,317 --> 01:19:17,182
- No.
- Want me to confess the truth?

1190
01:19:17,352 --> 01:19:18,785
- To everybody?
- No.

1191
01:19:18,954 --> 01:19:21,422
Will you let me give you
all the money they paid me?

1192
01:19:21,823 --> 01:19:23,051
I'm sorry.

1193
01:19:24,860 --> 01:19:26,293
Howard.

1194
01:19:27,262 --> 01:19:28,490
What are you going to do?

1195
01:19:29,664 --> 01:19:32,394
You have to leave that up to me now.

1196
01:19:46,615 --> 01:19:48,480
Why did you come here?

1197
01:19:48,650 --> 01:19:50,584
Because I couldn't stand it any longer.

1198
01:19:50,752 --> 01:19:52,276
You've been away for months.

1199
01:19:52,454 --> 01:19:54,422
I had to see you again...
To see you alone.

1200
01:19:54,589 --> 01:19:56,284
Please go.

1201
01:19:57,058 --> 01:19:59,458
Roark, do I mean nothing to you?

1202
01:19:59,861 --> 01:20:01,954
I can't answer you now.

1203
01:20:02,430 --> 01:20:04,728
You stayed away from me for years.

1204
01:20:04,900 --> 01:20:07,232
I tried to forget you. I couldn't.

1205
01:20:07,402 --> 01:20:10,269
- You knew I never would.
- Yes.

1206
01:20:10,438 --> 01:20:13,100
I never thought it'd be Gail
who'd bring you back to me.

1207
01:20:13,542 --> 01:20:15,737
Don't you see why
I can't stand it now?

1208
01:20:15,911 --> 01:20:19,108
Living in a house you designed,
seeing you constantly as a stranger...

1209
01:20:19,281 --> 01:20:21,806
...having no right to look at you,
to tell you that I...

1210
01:20:21,983 --> 01:20:23,507
Don't say it.

1211
01:20:24,152 --> 01:20:25,551
Do you remember?

1212
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,881
You said once that you...

1213
01:20:28,456 --> 01:20:31,220
For all the years we'll have to wait.

1214
01:20:32,494 --> 01:20:34,291
Roark, I know...

1215
01:20:34,462 --> 01:20:37,260
...that you've known
what I felt all these years.

1216
01:20:37,465 --> 01:20:40,559
We can never change it,
neither one of us.

1217
01:20:41,837 --> 01:20:43,065
I'm going to leave Gail.

1218
01:20:43,238 --> 01:20:45,968
You may refuse to see me again,
but I'm going to leave him.

1219
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:56,512
Before you leave him will you help me
with a problem of my own?

1220
01:20:56,685 --> 01:20:58,880
- Yes.
- Will you do it without asking questions?

1221
01:20:59,054 --> 01:21:01,284
Yes, Roark, anything you want.

1222
01:21:02,624 --> 01:21:04,319
You've seen Cortlandt Homes?

1223
01:21:04,492 --> 01:21:06,926
Yes. I know what they've
done to your work.

1224
01:21:07,529 --> 01:21:12,091
Next Monday night, I want you to drive up
to the side of Cortlandt.

1225
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:13,958
You must be alone in your car.

1226
01:21:14,135 --> 01:21:16,695
You must make it appear
you were an innocent bystander...

1227
01:21:16,872 --> 01:21:20,399
Roark, I know
what you're going to do.

1228
01:21:22,410 --> 01:21:24,469
This is a test, isn't it?

1229
01:21:24,646 --> 01:21:27,376
Can I equal your courage,
am I still afraid for you...

1230
01:21:27,549 --> 01:21:30,746
...can I help you take the most
terrible chance you've ever...?

1231
01:21:30,919 --> 01:21:33,410
You can guess anything you wish.

1232
01:21:33,588 --> 01:21:38,218
Just listen. When I finish don't tell me
whether you will help me or not.

1233
01:21:38,393 --> 01:21:40,293
If you decide to do it, say nothing...

1234
01:21:40,462 --> 01:21:42,089
...but let me see you do it.

1235
01:21:42,264 --> 01:21:44,664
All right. Go on.

1236
01:21:44,833 --> 01:21:48,325
Drive up to Cortlandt
Monday night at 11:30.

1237
01:22:08,156 --> 01:22:10,488
I ran out of gas.
May I use your telephone, please?

1238
01:22:10,659 --> 01:22:13,958
I'm sorry, ma'am,
but our phone's gone dead tonight.

1239
01:22:15,330 --> 01:22:16,957
Where is the nearest garage?

1240
01:22:18,233 --> 01:22:20,167
Way down the road.

1241
01:22:20,568 --> 01:22:23,469
Would you mind going there
and getting somebody to help me?

1242
01:22:23,638 --> 01:22:26,334
Sure will, young lady. Glad to.

1243
01:23:46,221 --> 01:23:47,745
What do you know
about this?

1244
01:23:47,922 --> 01:23:50,390
Arrest me. I'll talk at the trial.

1245
01:23:50,558 --> 01:23:53,026
We don't have to wait for the trial
to convict him.

1246
01:23:53,194 --> 01:23:56,095
Howard Roark is guilty
by his very nature.

1247
01:23:56,331 --> 01:23:58,697
It is whispered
that he designed Cortlandt.

1248
01:23:58,867 --> 01:24:02,462
- What if he did?
- Society needed a housing project.

1249
01:24:02,637 --> 01:24:04,969
It was his duty to sacrifice
his own desires...

1250
01:24:05,140 --> 01:24:09,440
...and to contribute any ideas we demanded
of him on any terms we chose.

1251
01:24:10,011 --> 01:24:12,002
Who is society?

1252
01:24:12,180 --> 01:24:13,943
We are.

1253
01:24:14,182 --> 01:24:18,050
Man can be permitted to exist
only in order to serve others.

1254
01:24:18,219 --> 01:24:22,121
He must be nothing but a tool
for the satisfaction of their needs.

1255
01:24:22,290 --> 01:24:25,987
Self-sacrifice is the law of our age.

1256
01:24:26,428 --> 01:24:29,556
The man who refuses to submit
and to serve...

1257
01:24:29,731 --> 01:24:31,756
Howard Roark, the supreme egoist...

1258
01:24:32,167 --> 01:24:35,568
Is a man who must be destroyed!

1259
01:24:42,577 --> 01:24:45,671
We have never learned to understand
what is greatness in man.

1260
01:24:45,847 --> 01:24:48,975
Self-sacrifice, we drool,
is the ultimate virtue.

1261
01:24:49,150 --> 01:24:50,708
Let's stop and think.

1262
01:24:50,885 --> 01:24:54,548
Can a man sacrifice his integrity
his rights, his freedom...

1263
01:24:54,722 --> 01:24:59,386
...his convictions, the honesty of his
feeling, the independence of his thought?

1264
01:24:59,994 --> 01:25:02,394
These are a man's supreme possessions.

1265
01:25:02,564 --> 01:25:05,624
To what must he sacrifice them?
To whom?

1266
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:07,358
Self-sacrifice?

1267
01:25:07,535 --> 01:25:11,904
But it is precisely the self that cannot
and must not be sacrificed.

1268
01:25:12,073 --> 01:25:14,564
A man's self is his spirit.

1269
01:25:14,742 --> 01:25:19,975
It is the unsacrificed self
that we must respect in man above all...

1270
01:25:20,148 --> 01:25:21,775
...and where do we find it?

1271
01:25:21,950 --> 01:25:24,646
In a man like Howard Roark.

1272
01:25:25,019 --> 01:25:27,487
Have that run off and set up
on tomorrow's front page.

1273
01:25:27,655 --> 01:25:29,384
Yes, Mr. Wynand.

1274
01:25:29,557 --> 01:25:31,855
Gail, are you out of your mind,
defending that...?

1275
01:25:32,026 --> 01:25:33,994
Keep still or I'll bash your teeth in.

1276
01:25:34,162 --> 01:25:35,561
The whole city is against him.

1277
01:25:35,730 --> 01:25:38,426
An unpopular cause
is dangerous business for anyone.

1278
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:40,534
For a popular newspaper,
it's suicide!

1279
01:25:40,702 --> 01:25:44,229
- Public opinion is responsible...
- Public opinion is what I make it.

1280
01:25:44,506 --> 01:25:47,134
For once, I'll fight for what I believe.

1281
01:25:47,308 --> 01:25:51,404
You'll stand alone against everybody
for the first time in your life?

1282
01:25:51,579 --> 01:25:55,140
Yes, for the first time in my life.

1283
01:26:01,122 --> 01:26:03,716
You fool, why did you have
to make such a good job of it?

1284
01:26:03,892 --> 01:26:05,917
Didn't you know broken glass is
dangerous?

1285
01:26:06,094 --> 01:26:08,324
- It didn't hurt.
- The next time you wanna play...

1286
01:26:08,496 --> 01:26:10,487
...the innocent bystander
let me coach you.

1287
01:26:10,665 --> 01:26:12,565
You didn't have to cut an artery.

1288
01:26:12,734 --> 01:26:16,226
Do the police believe that I was only
an innocent bystander?

1289
01:26:16,404 --> 01:26:19,703
Yes, they believe it.
They have to. You almost died.

1290
01:26:19,874 --> 01:26:22,138
They don't know that
you'd risk your life for him.

1291
01:26:22,310 --> 01:26:23,504
- For whom?
- Howard.

1292
01:26:23,678 --> 01:26:26,203
Haven't you always fought
for his work?

1293
01:26:28,383 --> 01:26:31,045
I'm glad you did it
and that it was for him.

1294
01:26:31,219 --> 01:26:32,709
I'm glad he did it.

1295
01:26:32,887 --> 01:26:35,014
- He had to.
- Yes.

1296
01:26:35,256 --> 01:26:37,986
- Have they arrested him?
- He's out on bail.

1297
01:26:38,159 --> 01:26:39,558
- What's he told them?
- Nothing.

1298
01:26:39,727 --> 01:26:41,354
He's refused to make any
statement.

1299
01:26:41,529 --> 01:26:44,657
They all say he's guilty,
but they can find no motive.

1300
01:26:44,832 --> 01:26:46,459
They think he designed Cortlandt...

1301
01:26:46,634 --> 01:26:49,364
...but they can't prove it.
- Is the public against him?

1302
01:26:49,537 --> 01:26:51,903
It's the worst storm of public fury
I've ever seen.

1303
01:26:52,073 --> 01:26:55,440
- Are all the newspapers against him?
- Except one.

1304
01:26:55,843 --> 01:26:58,437
Gail, if you'll stand by him today...

1305
01:26:58,613 --> 01:27:01,582
Don't offer me bribes.
It's a battle I've waited for all my life.

1306
01:27:01,950 --> 01:27:04,748
I know how much I have to redeem.
This will be my redemption.

1307
01:27:04,919 --> 01:27:07,945
<i>This time, the Banner
is serving a crusade.</i>

1308
01:27:26,341 --> 01:27:28,241
I was waiting for you to come.

1309
01:27:31,145 --> 01:27:34,308
- Do you want to ask me any questions now?
- No.

1310
01:27:34,482 --> 01:27:37,610
I may be sent to the penitentiary for years.
Does that frighten you?

1311
01:27:37,785 --> 01:27:39,946
No. I'll share whatever they do to you.

1312
01:27:40,121 --> 01:27:43,284
I failed you once
because I was afraid to see you suffer.

1313
01:27:43,458 --> 01:27:45,255
Now I'll stand by you openly.

1314
01:27:45,426 --> 01:27:48,486
I'll take the disgrace, the scandal,
the smears, anything.

1315
01:27:48,863 --> 01:27:50,728
Darling.

1316
01:27:50,898 --> 01:27:52,695
Yes.

1317
01:27:54,969 --> 01:27:57,961
You're Mrs. Gail Wynand.
You're above suspicion.

1318
01:27:58,139 --> 01:28:02,007
Everybody believes you were
at the scene by accident.

1319
01:28:02,176 --> 01:28:04,940
If you let it be known
what we mean to each other...

1320
01:28:05,113 --> 01:28:07,547
...it'll be a confession
that I did it.

1321
01:28:07,715 --> 01:28:09,706
Is that why you asked me to help you?

1322
01:28:09,884 --> 01:28:12,409
In order to stop me
from joining you now?

1323
01:28:12,587 --> 01:28:13,986
Yes.

1324
01:28:14,155 --> 01:28:17,591
Dominique, if I'm convicted...

1325
01:28:17,759 --> 01:28:20,626
...I want you to remain with Gail.

1326
01:28:21,429 --> 01:28:24,023
And you must not tell him about us...

1327
01:28:24,198 --> 01:28:26,359
...because he and you
will need each other.

1328
01:28:26,534 --> 01:28:29,230
All right, if that's what you want...

1329
01:28:29,437 --> 01:28:31,667
...but if you're acquitted?

1330
01:28:31,839 --> 01:28:34,171
We can't speak of that now.

1331
01:28:34,342 --> 01:28:36,037
You'll be acquitted.

1332
01:28:36,210 --> 01:28:38,337
That's not what I wanted
to hear you say.

1333
01:28:39,147 --> 01:28:40,546
If they convict you...

1334
01:28:40,715 --> 01:28:44,481
...if they lock you in jail, if they
never let you design another building...

1335
01:28:44,652 --> 01:28:46,950
...if they never let me see you again...

1336
01:28:47,121 --> 01:28:48,486
...it won't break me.

1337
01:28:48,656 --> 01:28:50,453
I know how to fight it.

1338
01:28:50,625 --> 01:28:52,354
I'm not afraid of them any longer.

1339
01:28:53,461 --> 01:28:56,897
That's what I wanted
to hear all these years.

1340
01:28:59,934 --> 01:29:01,697
- Who designed Cortlandt?
- Let me alone.

1341
01:29:01,903 --> 01:29:03,768
- It's too late, Peter.
- Let me go!

1342
01:29:03,938 --> 01:29:06,736
- Who designed Cortlandt?
- Why do you want to kill Roark?

1343
01:29:06,908 --> 01:29:11,368
I don't want to kill him. I want him in jail,
behind bars, locked, strapped, beaten.

1344
01:29:11,546 --> 01:29:13,776
He'll move as he's told.
He'll work as he's told.

1345
01:29:13,948 --> 01:29:17,406
- He'll obey. He'll take orders.
- Ellsworth, what are you after?

1346
01:29:17,585 --> 01:29:20,019
Power. What do you think is power?

1347
01:29:20,188 --> 01:29:21,780
Whips? Guns? Money?

1348
01:29:21,956 --> 01:29:24,754
You can't turn men into slaves
unless you break their spirit.

1349
01:29:24,926 --> 01:29:27,190
Kill their capacity to think
and act on their own.

1350
01:29:27,362 --> 01:29:30,854
Tie them together, teach them to conform,
to unite, to agree, to obey.

1351
01:29:31,032 --> 01:29:33,660
That makes one neck
ready for one leash.

1352
01:29:33,835 --> 01:29:35,735
Ellsworth.

1353
01:29:36,371 --> 01:29:39,568
You've heard me preaching it for years
but you didn't have the wits...

1354
01:29:39,741 --> 01:29:41,333
...to know what you were hearing.

1355
01:29:41,509 --> 01:29:45,468
Why do you suppose I denounced
greatness and praised mediocrities like you?

1356
01:29:45,646 --> 01:29:47,307
Great men can't be ruled.

1357
01:29:47,515 --> 01:29:49,483
Why did I preach self-sacrifice?

1358
01:29:49,650 --> 01:29:53,245
If you kill a man's sense of personal value,
he'll submit.

1359
01:29:53,421 --> 01:29:55,719
Can you do that
to Howard Roark? No?

1360
01:29:55,890 --> 01:29:58,188
Then don't ask me
why I want to destroy him.

1361
01:30:00,661 --> 01:30:03,596
That's what they mean,
your noble ideals.

1362
01:30:03,765 --> 01:30:05,323
You believed in me.

1363
01:30:05,500 --> 01:30:07,525
Well, what's left of you now?

1364
01:30:07,702 --> 01:30:10,398
Come on.
Who designed Cortlandt?

1365
01:30:12,707 --> 01:30:14,766
Howard Roark.

1366
01:30:16,377 --> 01:30:17,605
On what condition?

1367
01:30:18,413 --> 01:30:21,473
That it must be built
as he designed it.

1368
01:30:22,750 --> 01:30:24,411
Write it down.

1369
01:30:24,719 --> 01:30:26,983
Write a full confession.

1370
01:30:33,060 --> 01:30:36,518
You're a great success, Peter.
You're my best achievement.

1371
01:30:36,697 --> 01:30:39,359
A totally selfless man.

1372
01:30:44,472 --> 01:30:46,872
Selfish? Is that what they call me?

1373
01:30:47,041 --> 01:30:50,442
Well I am. I live by the judgment
of my own mind and for my own sake.

1374
01:30:50,611 --> 01:30:52,135
Let them say what they please.

1375
01:30:52,313 --> 01:30:54,873
By the time you come to trial,
no jury will convict you.

1376
01:30:55,049 --> 01:30:58,541
<i>The public will think what I want them to
think. The Banner will save you.</i>

1377
01:30:58,719 --> 01:31:01,950
<i>Dominique, do you see why
I love the Banner? I hold power.</i>

1378
01:31:02,123 --> 01:31:03,385
Are you sure of it, Gail?

1379
01:31:03,558 --> 01:31:07,619
You'll see the demonstration for yourself.
I rule that city. I've never lost a battle.

1380
01:31:08,196 --> 01:31:11,131
It's your first test
of a real issue, which...

1381
01:31:13,367 --> 01:31:15,062
<i>- Hello?
- Gail Wynand,please.</i>

1382
01:31:15,236 --> 01:31:17,363
<i>- Speaking.
- Gail,this is Alvah.</i>

1383
01:31:17,538 --> 01:31:18,903
Yes, Alvah?

1384
01:31:19,073 --> 01:31:21,166
<i>Keating has admitted
Roark designed Cortlandt.</i>

1385
01:31:21,342 --> 01:31:23,776
<i>- Toohey has a signed confession.
- What?</i>

1386
01:31:23,945 --> 01:31:26,880
<i>It made the front page
of the other daily so we had to go along.</i>

1387
01:31:27,048 --> 01:31:28,538
Stay there. I'll come at once.

1388
01:31:29,917 --> 01:31:31,214
What is it?

1389
01:31:31,419 --> 01:31:33,819
Ellsworth Toohey got a confession
from Peter Keating.

1390
01:31:33,988 --> 01:31:36,513
<i>It's on the front pages tomorrow,
including the Banner.</i>

1391
01:31:36,691 --> 01:31:40,491
I'm not counting on public opinion one way
or the other so don't be afraid for me.

1392
01:31:40,661 --> 01:31:43,391
I'll fight for you
if it takes everything I own.

1393
01:31:54,442 --> 01:31:57,036
When I can't fire anyone on my paper,
I'll close it...

1394
01:31:57,211 --> 01:31:59,270
...and blow your brains out
or mine.

1395
01:31:59,447 --> 01:32:01,881
They've walked out on us.
The whole city room.

1396
01:32:02,049 --> 01:32:04,074
Our best boys.
They're Toohey's best friends.

1397
01:32:04,252 --> 01:32:07,619
- They won't work without him.
- Ellsworth Toohey is fired and stays fired.

1398
01:32:07,788 --> 01:32:10,552
I can't understand how Ellsworth
got so much power.

1399
01:32:10,725 --> 01:32:14,422
I never noticed it but he got his gang in
little by little and now he owns them.

1400
01:32:14,595 --> 01:32:17,996
<i>- And I own the Banner.
- Do you, Mr. Wynand?</i>

1401
01:32:18,432 --> 01:32:20,332
So you were after power, Mr. Wynand...

1402
01:32:20,501 --> 01:32:22,765
...and you thought you
were a practical man.

1403
01:32:22,937 --> 01:32:26,304
You left to impractical intellectuals like
me the whole field of ideas...

1404
01:32:26,474 --> 01:32:29,238
...to corrupt as we please
while you were busy making money.

1405
01:32:29,410 --> 01:32:31,878
You thought money was power.
Is it, Mr. Wynand?

1406
01:32:32,647 --> 01:32:34,774
You poor amateur.

1407
01:32:34,949 --> 01:32:37,816
You've never been enough of a scoundrel
for your own ambition.

1408
01:32:37,985 --> 01:32:39,850
That's why I'll be back on this job...

1409
01:32:40,021 --> 01:32:42,888
...and when I am, I'll run this paper.

1410
01:32:43,724 --> 01:32:46,522
When you are. Now get out of here.

1411
01:33:09,216 --> 01:33:12,049
- How clever, my dear.
- Yes, it is, isn't it?

1412
01:33:12,219 --> 01:33:13,948
We must do what we can for the cause.

1413
01:33:14,121 --> 01:33:18,251
<i>I just fired my cook
because I caught her reading the Banner.</i>

1414
01:33:33,874 --> 01:33:36,274
Gail, what are we gonna do?
I can't get anyone.

1415
01:33:36,444 --> 01:33:38,708
They refuse, no matter
what salary I offer.

1416
01:33:38,879 --> 01:33:41,746
<i>Nobody wants to work for the Banner.
Nobody wants to read it.</i>

1417
01:33:41,916 --> 01:33:43,645
How long can we go on like this?

1418
01:33:44,819 --> 01:33:46,548
To the end.

1419
01:33:59,867 --> 01:34:02,097
Gail, give me back
my old job.

1420
01:34:02,269 --> 01:34:04,260
<i>I shall be proud to work
for the Banner now.</i>

1421
01:34:06,340 --> 01:34:07,830
Come on.

1422
01:34:09,744 --> 01:34:12,941
Take these to the back room, pick up
the wire flimsies and bring them.

1423
01:34:13,114 --> 01:34:15,605
Then report to Manning
at the city desk.

1424
01:34:37,838 --> 01:34:39,669
- All returns, eh?
- Yup.

1425
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,604
Gives me the creeps.
Looks just like slabs in the cemetery.

1426
01:34:42,777 --> 01:34:44,472
And they keep growing
every night.

1427
01:34:44,645 --> 01:34:46,476
<i>Guess nobody buys
the Banner anymore.</i>

1428
01:34:46,647 --> 01:34:47,978
They're killing themselves.

1429
01:34:48,149 --> 01:34:52,711
Work night and day and still newspapers
come back unread.

1430
01:34:59,994 --> 01:35:01,256
Ready with it, Mrs. Wynand?

1431
01:35:01,429 --> 01:35:04,865
There's the Sunday makeup.
It's fairly rotten, but it'll have to do.

1432
01:35:05,032 --> 01:35:07,296
I sent Manning home.
He was going to collapse.

1433
01:35:07,468 --> 01:35:10,335
Jackson quit, but we can do
without him.

1434
01:35:10,504 --> 01:35:13,530
Alvah's column was a mess.
I rewrote it.

1435
01:35:13,708 --> 01:35:16,108
Don't tell him. Say Gail did.

1436
01:35:16,277 --> 01:35:18,177
All right.

1437
01:35:55,416 --> 01:35:58,214
It'll be all right, Gail.
It will be all right.

1438
01:35:58,385 --> 01:36:01,684
<i>The Banner is not helping Howard.
It's ruining him.</i>

1439
01:36:01,856 --> 01:36:03,551
It's turning more
people against him.

1440
01:36:03,724 --> 01:36:05,715
He doesn't care about that
but stand by him.

1441
01:36:05,893 --> 01:36:07,793
- Don't give in to them.
- I can't save him.

1442
01:36:07,962 --> 01:36:09,327
He'll win in his own way.

1443
01:36:09,497 --> 01:36:11,692
I can't save him. I have no power.

1444
01:36:11,866 --> 01:36:13,697
I never had any power.

1445
01:36:13,868 --> 01:36:17,929
Nobody's ever listened to me
because nobody's ever respected me.

1446
01:36:18,105 --> 01:36:21,563
I wasn't a ruler of the mob.
I was its tool.

1447
01:36:21,742 --> 01:36:24,370
<i>If you don't give in, you'll save yourself
and the Banner.</i>

1448
01:36:24,545 --> 01:36:26,638
<i>I never ran the Banner. They did.</i>

1449
01:36:26,814 --> 01:36:28,076
The men in the street.

1450
01:36:28,249 --> 01:36:30,547
It was their paper, not mine.

1451
01:36:30,718 --> 01:36:32,276
There's nothing to save now.

1452
01:36:32,453 --> 01:36:35,581
Gail, don't give in to them.
Don't give in.

1453
01:36:37,491 --> 01:36:38,719
You'd better give in.

1454
01:36:38,893 --> 01:36:40,258
We can't permit this to go on.

1455
01:36:40,427 --> 01:36:43,521
After all, we're your board of directors.
We have something to say.

1456
01:36:43,697 --> 01:36:46,632
We've lost all our advertisers
we've lost our public, for what?

1457
01:36:46,801 --> 01:36:49,861
Now, if it were a serious cause,
but for some fool dynamiter?

1458
01:36:50,037 --> 01:36:54,167
What is this, an intellectual issue? Are we
losing our shirts for principles or something?

1459
01:36:54,341 --> 01:36:56,241
Gail, Gail, it's no use.

1460
01:36:56,443 --> 01:36:59,207
We must call Ellsworth Toohey
and take him back.

1461
01:36:59,380 --> 01:37:01,871
We must reverse our stand
on the Cortlandt case.

1462
01:37:02,316 --> 01:37:04,045
We must come out against Roark.

1463
01:37:04,218 --> 01:37:07,244
Wynand, this is final.
Yes or no?

1464
01:37:07,421 --> 01:37:08,854
<i>Give in or close the Banner.</i>

1465
01:37:09,623 --> 01:37:11,614
You'd better give in.

1466
01:37:15,596 --> 01:37:17,154
All right.

1467
01:38:04,879 --> 01:38:07,746
I solemnly ask
of every man who hears this case...

1468
01:38:07,915 --> 01:38:10,850
...to let his own mind
pronounce a verdict upon it.

1469
01:38:11,018 --> 01:38:13,680
You have heard the testimony
of the state's witnesses.

1470
01:38:13,854 --> 01:38:16,584
The confession of Peter Keating
has made clear...

1471
01:38:16,757 --> 01:38:18,918
...that Howard Roark
is a ruthless egoist...

1472
01:38:19,093 --> 01:38:23,792
...who has destroyed Cortlandt Homes
for his own selfish motive.

1473
01:38:23,964 --> 01:38:27,525
The issue which you are to decide
is the crucial issue of our age:

1474
01:38:27,701 --> 01:38:31,933
Has man any right to exist
if he refuses to serve society?

1475
01:38:32,206 --> 01:38:35,972
Let your verdict give us the answer.

1476
01:38:36,543 --> 01:38:37,942
The state rests.

1477
01:38:38,779 --> 01:38:41,441
The defense may proceed.

1478
01:38:46,987 --> 01:38:49,114
Your Honor,
I shall call no witnesses.

1479
01:38:49,290 --> 01:38:51,349
This will be my testimony
and my summation.

1480
01:38:51,525 --> 01:38:54,790
- Take the oath.
- Do you swear to tell the truth...

1481
01:38:54,962 --> 01:38:56,623
...the whole truth and nothing
but the truth...

1482
01:38:56,797 --> 01:38:58,492
...so help you God?
- I do.

1483
01:39:01,635 --> 01:39:05,366
Thousands of years ago the first man
discovered how to make fire.

1484
01:39:05,539 --> 01:39:08,770
He was probably burned at the stake,
he taught his brothers to light.

1485
01:39:08,943 --> 01:39:11,241
But he left them a gift
they had not conceived.

1486
01:39:11,412 --> 01:39:13,243
And he lifted darkness
off the earth.

1487
01:39:14,014 --> 01:39:18,212
Throughout the centuries, there were men
who took first steps down new roads...

1488
01:39:18,385 --> 01:39:20,819
...armed with nothing
but their own vision.

1489
01:39:21,322 --> 01:39:25,122
The great creators, the thinkers, the
artists, the scientists, the inventors...

1490
01:39:25,292 --> 01:39:27,385
...stood alone against
the men of their time.

1491
01:39:27,561 --> 01:39:29,961
Every new thought was opposed...

1492
01:39:30,130 --> 01:39:32,826
...every new invention was denounced...

1493
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:36,231
...but the men of unborrowed vision
went ahead.

1494
01:39:36,403 --> 01:39:40,134
They fought, they suffered
and they paid, but they won.

1495
01:39:40,741 --> 01:39:45,701
No creator was prompted by a desire
to please his brothers.

1496
01:39:45,879 --> 01:39:47,938
His brothers hated
the gift he offered.

1497
01:39:48,415 --> 01:39:51,043
His truth was his only motive.

1498
01:39:51,218 --> 01:39:54,278
His work was his only goal.

1499
01:39:54,555 --> 01:39:57,353
His work, not those who used it...

1500
01:39:57,524 --> 01:40:01,051
...his creation, not the benefits
others derived from it...

1501
01:40:01,228 --> 01:40:03,753
...the creation which gave form
to his truth.

1502
01:40:04,331 --> 01:40:08,324
He held his truth above all things
and against all men.

1503
01:40:09,636 --> 01:40:12,969
He went ahead whether others agreed
with him or not...

1504
01:40:13,140 --> 01:40:16,473
...with his integrity as his only banner.

1505
01:40:16,643 --> 01:40:19,476
He served nothing and no one.

1506
01:40:19,646 --> 01:40:21,637
He lived for himself...

1507
01:40:22,716 --> 01:40:26,083
...and only by living for himself
was he able to achieve the things...

1508
01:40:26,253 --> 01:40:28,517
...which are the glory of mankind.

1509
01:40:28,689 --> 01:40:31,089
Such is the nature of achievement.

1510
01:40:31,925 --> 01:40:35,122
Man cannot survive,
except through his mind.

1511
01:40:35,295 --> 01:40:37,627
He comes on earth unarmed.

1512
01:40:37,798 --> 01:40:42,064
His brain is his only weapon, but the mind
is an attribute of the individual.

1513
01:40:42,269 --> 01:40:45,864
There is no such thing
as a collective brain.

1514
01:40:46,173 --> 01:40:49,870
The man who thinks
must think and act on his own.

1515
01:40:50,277 --> 01:40:54,577
The reasoning mind cannot work
under any form of compulsion.

1516
01:40:54,748 --> 01:41:00,414
It cannot be subordinated to the needs,
opinions, or wishes of others.

1517
01:41:00,587 --> 01:41:03,351
It is not an object of sacrifice.

1518
01:41:03,891 --> 01:41:07,486
The creator stands
on his own judgment.

1519
01:41:07,661 --> 01:41:11,620
The parasite follows
the opinions of others.

1520
01:41:11,799 --> 01:41:13,027
The creator thinks.

1521
01:41:13,634 --> 01:41:15,465
The parasite copies.

1522
01:41:15,903 --> 01:41:19,236
The creator produces.
The parasite loots.

1523
01:41:19,406 --> 01:41:22,864
The creator's concern
is the conquest of nature.

1524
01:41:23,043 --> 01:41:25,603
The parasite's concern
is the conquest of men.

1525
01:41:26,246 --> 01:41:30,307
The creator requires independence.
He neither serves nor rules.

1526
01:41:30,484 --> 01:41:33,851
He deals with men by free exchange
and voluntary choice.

1527
01:41:34,354 --> 01:41:36,345
The parasite seeks power.

1528
01:41:36,523 --> 01:41:39,959
He wants to bind all men together
in common action and common slavery.

1529
01:41:40,427 --> 01:41:44,454
He claims that man is only a tool
for the use of others...

1530
01:41:44,631 --> 01:41:47,225
...that he must think as they think
act as they act...

1531
01:41:47,401 --> 01:41:52,236
...and live in selfless, joyless servitude
to any need but his own.

1532
01:41:52,773 --> 01:41:54,035
Look at history.

1533
01:41:54,208 --> 01:41:56,972
Everything we have,
every great achievement...

1534
01:41:57,144 --> 01:42:01,137
...has come from the independent work
of some independent mind.

1535
01:42:01,548 --> 01:42:03,982
Every horror and destruction...

1536
01:42:04,151 --> 01:42:09,453
...came from attempts to force men
into a herd of brainless, soulless robots.

1537
01:42:09,623 --> 01:42:11,318
Without personal rights...

1538
01:42:11,492 --> 01:42:13,357
...without personal ambition...

1539
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:15,994
...without will, hope or dignity.

1540
01:42:16,663 --> 01:42:18,358
It is an ancient conflict.

1541
01:42:18,532 --> 01:42:20,363
It has another name.

1542
01:42:20,534 --> 01:42:23,765
The individual
against the collective.

1543
01:42:25,139 --> 01:42:28,006
Our country, the noblest country
in the history of men...

1544
01:42:28,175 --> 01:42:30,302
...was based on the principle
of individualism.

1545
01:42:30,677 --> 01:42:33,771
The principle of man's
inalienable rights.

1546
01:42:34,781 --> 01:42:37,716
It was a country where a man was free
to seek his own happiness.

1547
01:42:37,885 --> 01:42:41,343
To gain and produce,
not to give up and renounce.

1548
01:42:41,522 --> 01:42:44,514
To prosper, not to starve.

1549
01:42:44,691 --> 01:42:48,127
To achieve, not to plunder.

1550
01:42:48,662 --> 01:42:52,598
To hold as his highest possession
a sense of his personal value...

1551
01:42:52,766 --> 01:42:56,930
...and as his highest virtue
his self-respect.

1552
01:42:57,104 --> 01:42:58,969
Look at the results.

1553
01:42:59,139 --> 01:43:02,631
That is what the collectivists
are now asking you to destroy...

1554
01:43:02,809 --> 01:43:05,334
...as much of the earth
has been destroyed.

1555
01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:08,170
I am an architect.

1556
01:43:08,348 --> 01:43:11,511
I know what is to come
by the principle on which it is built.

1557
01:43:12,286 --> 01:43:15,983
We are approaching a world
in which I cannot permit myself to live.

1558
01:43:16,924 --> 01:43:18,949
My ideas are my property.

1559
01:43:19,126 --> 01:43:23,426
They were taken from me by force,
by breach of contract.

1560
01:43:23,597 --> 01:43:25,963
No appeal was left to me.

1561
01:43:26,266 --> 01:43:30,066
It was believed that my work belonged
to others to do with as they pleased.

1562
01:43:30,237 --> 01:43:32,933
They had a claim upon me
without my consent...

1563
01:43:33,106 --> 01:43:36,337
...that it was my duty to serve them
without choice or reward.

1564
01:43:36,977 --> 01:43:39,104
Now you know why
I dynamited Cortlandt.

1565
01:43:39,279 --> 01:43:40,746
I designed Cortlandt...

1566
01:43:40,914 --> 01:43:42,541
...I made it possible...

1567
01:43:42,716 --> 01:43:44,081
...I destroyed it.

1568
01:43:44,451 --> 01:43:48,410
I agreed to design it for the purpose
of seeing it built as I wished.

1569
01:43:48,589 --> 01:43:51,422
That was the price I set for my work.

1570
01:43:51,592 --> 01:43:52,889
I was not paid.

1571
01:43:53,260 --> 01:43:57,094
My building was disfigured at the whim of
others who took the benefits of my work...

1572
01:43:57,264 --> 01:43:59,027
...and gave me nothing in return.

1573
01:44:00,033 --> 01:44:02,297
I came here to say
that I do not recognize...

1574
01:44:02,469 --> 01:44:05,097
...anyone's right
to one minute of my life.

1575
01:44:05,272 --> 01:44:08,833
Nor to any part of my energy,
nor to any achievement of mine.

1576
01:44:09,009 --> 01:44:10,408
No matter who makes the claim.

1577
01:44:11,144 --> 01:44:12,736
It had to be said.

1578
01:44:12,913 --> 01:44:15,746
The world is perishing
from an orgy of self-sacrificing.

1579
01:44:16,283 --> 01:44:18,183
I came here to be heard...

1580
01:44:18,352 --> 01:44:21,480
...in the name of every man
of independence still left in the world.

1581
01:44:21,888 --> 01:44:23,549
I wanted to state my terms.

1582
01:44:23,724 --> 01:44:26,591
I do not care to work
or live on any others.

1583
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:29,520
My terms are a man's right...

1584
01:44:29,696 --> 01:44:32,494
...to exist for his own sake.

1585
01:44:41,441 --> 01:44:44,706
Further, you are instructed
that the extent of the monetary loss...

1586
01:44:44,878 --> 01:44:48,644
...suffered by the owners
is not a matter to be considered by you.

1587
01:44:48,815 --> 01:44:50,715
The liability of the defendant...

1588
01:44:50,884 --> 01:44:52,545
...for any financial loss...

1589
01:44:52,753 --> 01:44:56,154
...is a question to be determined
in a civil suit.

1590
01:44:56,323 --> 01:45:00,020
You are concerned here only
with a criminal action.

1591
01:45:00,560 --> 01:45:02,585
You are to determine
whether the defendant...

1592
01:45:02,763 --> 01:45:04,424
...is guilty or innocent...

1593
01:45:04,598 --> 01:45:08,034
...of the specific crime
with which he has been charged.

1594
01:45:08,435 --> 01:45:11,700
You are the exclusive judges
of the facts...

1595
01:45:11,872 --> 01:45:16,002
...and under the instructions I have given
you, it is your duty and your duty alone...

1596
01:45:16,176 --> 01:45:19,703
...to determine the guilt
or innocence of the accused.

1597
01:46:08,762 --> 01:46:10,457
Your Honor.

1598
01:46:28,548 --> 01:46:30,015
Foreman.

1599
01:46:30,183 --> 01:46:32,811
- Have you reached a verdict?
- We have, Your Honor.

1600
01:46:32,986 --> 01:46:35,819
The prisoner will rise
and face the jury.

1601
01:46:41,395 --> 01:46:42,760
What is your verdict?

1602
01:46:43,964 --> 01:46:45,192
Not guilty.

1603
01:47:11,191 --> 01:47:14,820
I have bought from them the plans,
the site, and the ruins of Cortlandt.

1604
01:47:14,995 --> 01:47:18,192
It's mine now and yours.
You'll rebuild it for me.

1605
01:47:18,365 --> 01:47:19,696
Just as you planned it.

1606
01:47:19,866 --> 01:47:23,768
Mr. Roark, Mr. Gail Wynand wishes to
know whether you could come to his office.

1607
01:47:23,937 --> 01:47:26,531
- Is he on the wire?
- No. It's Mr. Wynand's secretary.

1608
01:47:26,706 --> 01:47:28,970
Yes. Tell her yes.

1609
01:47:45,358 --> 01:47:48,919
Mr. Roark, this interview is necessary
but very difficult for me.

1610
01:47:49,095 --> 01:47:50,562
Please act accordingly.

1611
01:47:50,730 --> 01:47:52,891
Yes, Mr. Wynand.

1612
01:47:56,236 --> 01:47:59,137
Please read this and sign it,
if it meets with your approval.

1613
01:47:59,306 --> 01:48:00,603
What is it?

1614
01:48:00,774 --> 01:48:03,436
Your contract to design
the Wynand building.

1615
01:48:03,610 --> 01:48:05,601
Please listen carefully, Mr. Roark.

1616
01:48:05,779 --> 01:48:07,838
I have closed my newspaper.

1617
01:48:08,014 --> 01:48:10,244
<i>The Banner has ceased to exist.</i>

1618
01:48:10,417 --> 01:48:13,784
I wish to undertake the construction
of the Wynand building at once.

1619
01:48:13,954 --> 01:48:16,889
It is to be the tallest structure
of the city.

1620
01:48:17,057 --> 01:48:18,991
You will design it as you wish.

1621
01:48:19,459 --> 01:48:22,223
You will have full charge
and complete authority.

1622
01:48:22,395 --> 01:48:24,693
But I do not care ever
to see you again.

1623
01:48:25,765 --> 01:48:28,461
Please read the contract and sign it.

1624
01:48:34,374 --> 01:48:36,137
You haven't read it.

1625
01:48:43,750 --> 01:48:45,945
Please sign both copies.

1626
01:48:50,390 --> 01:48:51,914
Thank you.

1627
01:48:55,862 --> 01:48:59,923
This will be the last skyscraper
ever built in New York.

1628
01:49:00,100 --> 01:49:02,125
The last achievement of man on earth...

1629
01:49:02,302 --> 01:49:04,327
...before mankind destroys itself.

1630
01:49:04,504 --> 01:49:07,132
Mankind will never destroy itself,
Mr. Wynand...

1631
01:49:07,340 --> 01:49:09,672
...nor should it think of itself
as destroyed.

1632
01:49:09,843 --> 01:49:11,936
Not so long as it does things
such as this.

1633
01:49:12,112 --> 01:49:14,444
- As what?
- As the Wynand building.

1634
01:49:14,614 --> 01:49:16,309
That is up to you.

1635
01:49:16,483 --> 01:49:18,246
Dead things...

1636
01:49:18,418 --> 01:49:19,942
<i>...such as the Banner...</i>

1637
01:49:20,120 --> 01:49:23,055
...are only the financial fertilizer
that will make it possible.

1638
01:49:23,223 --> 01:49:25,248
It is their proper function.

1639
01:49:25,825 --> 01:49:30,421
I told you once that this building
was to be a monument to my life.

1640
01:49:31,031 --> 01:49:33,295
There is nothing
to commemorate now.

1641
01:49:33,466 --> 01:49:35,661
The Wynand building
will have nothing...

1642
01:49:35,835 --> 01:49:37,769
...except what you give it.

1643
01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:04,558
Build it as a monument to that spirit
which is yours and could've been mine.

1644
01:50:50,877 --> 01:50:52,504
May I see Mr. Roark, please?

1645
01:50:52,712 --> 01:50:54,339
Mr. Roark's way up on top.

1646
01:50:54,514 --> 01:50:55,776
Who's calling, ma'am?

1647
01:50:56,816 --> 01:50:59,250
- Mrs. Roark.
- Oh.

1648
01:51:26,816 --> 01:51:59,250
