00:02:43,246 --> 00:02:44,952
Rosebud.

00:03:23,245 --> 00:03:24,735
News On The March.

3
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:48,554
Legendary was the Xanadu
where Kub/a Khan decreed

4
00:03:48,645 --> 00:03:50,636
his state/y pleasure dome.

5
00:03:50,731 --> 00:03:54,440
Today, almost as legendary
is Florida ’5 Xanadu,

6
00:03:54,526 --> 00:03:57,233
world is largest private pleasure ground

7
00:03:59,489 --> 00:04:01,730
Here on the deserts of the Gulf Coast,

8
00:04:01,825 --> 00:04:04,737
a private mountain was commissioned
and successfully built.

9
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:08,696
One hundred thousand trees,
20, 000 tons of marble

10
00:04:08,790 --> 00:04:10,951
are the ingredients of Xanaduis' mountain.

11
00:04:12,335 --> 00:04:14,701
Contents of Xanadu’s palace —

12
00:04:14,796 --> 00:04:19,165
paintings, pictures, statues,
the very stones of man y another palace.

13
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:21,090
A collection of e verything,

14
00:04:21,178 --> 00:04:24,511
so big it can never
be cataloged or appraised

15
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:28,466
Enough for ten museums —
the loot of the world.

16
00:04:32,272 --> 00:04:34,183
Xanadu 's livestock —

17
00:04:34,858 --> 00:04:38,225
the fowl of the air; the fish of the sea,

18
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,185
the beasts of the field and jungle.

19
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,191
Two of each.

20
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:44,864
The biggest private 200 since Noah.

21
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:47,742
Like the pharaohs,

22
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:51,617
Xanadu's landlord leaves
many stones to mark his grave.

23
00:04:53,251 --> 00:04:55,162
Since the pyramids,

24
00:04:55,253 --> 00:05:00,213
Xanadu is the costliest monument
a man has bu/lt to himself

25
00:05:13,438 --> 00:05:19,479
Here in Xanadu, last week,
Xanaduis landlord was laid to rest,

26
00:05:19,569 --> 00:05:22,311
a potent figure of our century —

27
00:05:22,405 --> 00:05:24,737
America is Kub/a Khan,

28
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:26,861
Charles Foster Kane.

29
00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:59,440
its humble beginnings in this
ramshackle burlding, a dying daily.

30
00:05:59,526 --> 00:06:05,146
Kane’s empire in its glory
held dominion o ver 37 newspapers,

31
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,902
two syndicates, a radio network,

32
00:06:07,993 --> 00:06:11,156
an empire upon an empire.

33
00:06:11,246 --> 00:06:13,737
The first of grocery stores,

34
00:06:13,832 --> 00:06:16,619
paper mills, apartment buildings,

35
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:21,079
factories, forests, ocean liners —

36
00:06:21,172 --> 00:06:26,667
an empire through which for 50 years
flowed in an unending stream

37
00:06:26,761 --> 00:06:30,424
the wealth of the Earths
third richest gold mine.

38
00:06:31,266 --> 00:06:35,009
Famed in American legend
is the origin of the Kane fortune,

39
00:06:35,103 --> 00:06:40,643
how to boardinghouse keeper Mary Kane,
by a defaulting boarder in 1868,

40
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:43,066
was left the supposedly worthless deed

41
00:06:43,153 --> 00:06:46,395
to an abandoned mine shaft,
the Colorado Lode.

42
00:06:47,741 --> 00:06:52,110
Fifiy-se ven years later,
before a congressional investigation,

43
00:06:52,203 --> 00:06:55,240
WalterP. Thatcher,
grand old man of Wall Street,

44
00:06:55,332 --> 00:06:59,371
for years chief target
of Kane papers ’ attacks on trusts,

45
00:06:59,461 --> 00:07:01,747
recalls a journey he made as a youth.

46
00:07:01,838 --> 00:07:05,251
My firm had been appointed trustee
by Mrs. Kane

47
00:07:05,342 --> 00:07:07,674
for a large fortune
which she recently acquired.

48
00:07:07,761 --> 00:07:11,970
It was her wish that I should take charge
of this boy, this Charles Foster Kane.

49
00:07:12,057 --> 00:07:13,422
-
s it not a fact...
-Mr. Johnson!

50
00:07:13,516 --> 00:07:15,427
-...that on this occasion...
-Mr. Johnson!

51
00:07:15,518 --> 00:07:18,260
...that boy, Charles Foster Kane,
personally attacked you

52
00:07:18,355 --> 00:07:20,562
after striking you
in the stomach with a sled?

53
00:07:20,649 --> 00:07:22,640
Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman.

54
00:07:22,734 --> 00:07:25,066
I shall read to the committee
a prepared statement

55
00:07:25,153 --> 00:07:26,768
which I have brought with me,

56
00:07:26,863 --> 00:07:30,776
and I shall then refuse
to answer any further questions.

57
00:07:30,867 --> 00:07:34,405
"Mr. Charles Foster Kane,
in every essence of his social beliefs,

58
00:07:34,496 --> 00:07:36,202
and by the dangerous manner

59
00:07:36,289 --> 00:07:38,826
in which he has persistently attacked
the American traditions

60
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:42,159
of private property, initiative
and opportunity for advancement,

61
00:07:42,253 --> 00:07:46,246
is in fact nothing more or less
than a communist."

62
00:07:46,341 --> 00:07:48,878
That same month in Union Square...

63
00:07:48,969 --> 00:07:51,585
...till the words
"Charles Foster Kane"

64
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,093
are a menace to every
working man in this land.

65
00:07:55,183 --> 00:07:58,175
He is today what he has always been

66
00:07:58,269 --> 00:08:00,760
and always will be — a fascist.

67
00:08:00,855 --> 00:08:02,811
And still another opinion . . .

68
00:08:20,542 --> 00:08:23,784
Kane urged his countryis
entry into one war,

69
00:08:23,878 --> 00:08:26,665
opposed participation in another.

70
00:08:26,756 --> 00:08:30,465
Swung the election to one
American president at least.

71
00:08:30,552 --> 00:08:33,419
Spoke for millions of Americans.

72
00:08:34,431 --> 00:08:36,387
Was hated by as many more.

73
00:08:37,308 --> 00:08:41,017
For 40 years appeared in Kane newsprint

74
00:08:41,104 --> 00:08:44,688
no public issue on which
Kane papers took no stand.

75
00:08:45,775 --> 00:08:51,395
No public man whom Kane himself
did not support or denounce.

76
00:08:51,489 --> 00:08:53,229
Often support...

77
00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:55,649
then denounce.

78
00:09:03,668 --> 00:09:06,660
Twice married, twice divorced.

79
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:09,621
First to a presidents niece,

80
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:13,208
Emily Norton, who lefi him in 1916‘.

81
00:09:13,303 --> 00:09:16,636
Died 7918 in a motor accident
with their son.

82
00:09:19,017 --> 00:09:21,599
Sixteen years after his first marriage,

83
00:09:21,686 --> 00:09:24,348
two weeks after his first divorce,

84
00:09:24,439 --> 00:09:27,226
Kane married Susan Alexander, singer,

85
00:09:27,317 --> 00:09:29,933
at the town hall in Trenton, New Jersey.

86
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:36,107
For wife two,
onetime opera-srngrng Susan Alexander,

87
00:09:36,201 --> 00:09:39,443
Kane built Chicago ’8
Municipal Opera House.

88
00:09:42,123 --> 00:09:45,365
Conceived for Susan Alexander Kane,

89
00:09:45,460 --> 00:09:48,122
half-finished before she divorced him,

90
00:09:48,213 --> 00:09:51,831
the still-unfinished Xanadu.

91
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:55,338
Cost — no man can say.

92
00:09:58,306 --> 00:10:02,015
Kane, molder of mass opinion
though he was,

93
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:04,593
in all his life was ne ver granted
elective office

94
00:10:04,687 --> 00:10:06,393
by the voters of his country.

95
00:10:06,481 --> 00:10:09,223
But Kane papers were once strong indeed,

96
00:10:09,317 --> 00:10:11,774
and once the prize seemed almost his.

97
00:10:11,861 --> 00:10:15,570
in 79 76, as independent candidate
for go vernor,

98
00:10:15,657 --> 00:10:17,568
the best elements of the state behind him,

99
00:10:17,659 --> 00:10:20,571
the White House seeming/y
the next easy step

100
00:10:20,662 --> 00:10:22,493
in a lightning political career.

101
00:10:23,164 --> 00:10:25,155
Then suddenly,

102
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:28,959
less than one week
before election, defeat.

103
00:10:29,045 --> 00:10:31,081
Shameful, Ignominious.

104
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,503
Defeat that set back for 20 years
the cause of reform in the US,

105
00:10:35,593 --> 00:10:39,006
fore ver canceled political chances
for Charles Foster Kane.

106
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:45,300
Then in the first year
of the Great Depression,

107
00:10:46,062 --> 00:10:48,428
a Kane paper closes.

108
00:10:48,523 --> 00:10:52,266
For Kane, in four short years, collapse.

109
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,022
Eleven Kane papers merged.

110
00:10:55,113 --> 00:10:57,650
More sold, scrapped.

111
00:11:07,417 --> 00:11:08,532
Is that correct?

112
00:11:08,626 --> 00:11:10,582
Don't believe everything
you hear on the radio.

113
00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:12,080
Uh, read the Inquirer.

114
00:11:12,172 --> 00:11:14,254
How did you find, uh,
business conditions in Europe?

115
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:18,629
Uh, how did I find business conditions
in Europe, Mr. Bones?

116
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,554
With great difficulty.

117
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,471
Are you glad to be back, Mr. Kane?

118
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,471
I'm always glad to be back, young man.
I'm an American.

119
00:11:28,479 --> 00:11:30,891
Always been an American. Anything else?

120
00:11:30,982 --> 00:11:33,894
When I was a reporter, we asked them
quicker than that. Come on, young fella.

121
00:11:33,985 --> 00:11:36,101
Well, what do you think of the chances
for war in Europe?

122
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:39,188
Uh, I've talked with the responsible
leaders of the great powers —

123
00:11:39,282 --> 00:11:41,364
England, France, Germany and Italy.

124
00:11:41,451 --> 00:11:43,612
They're too intelligent
to embark on a project

125
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:46,240
which would mean the end of civilization
as we now know it.

126
00:11:46,331 --> 00:11:49,414
You can take my word for it.
There'll be no war.

127
00:11:54,339 --> 00:11:56,955
Kane helped to change the world,

128
00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:59,587
but Kane is world now is history

129
00:11:59,677 --> 00:12:03,261
and the great yellow journalist himself
lived to be history,

130
00:12:03,348 --> 00:12:06,135
outlived his power to make it.

131
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:10,686
Alone in his ne ver-finished,
already-decaying pleasure palace,

132
00:12:10,772 --> 00:12:14,356
aloof seldom visited, ne ver photographed,

133
00:12:14,442 --> 00:12:18,401
an emperor of ne wsprint continued
to direct his falling empire,

134
00:12:19,197 --> 00:12:22,189
vainly attempted to sway, as he once did,

135
00:12:22,283 --> 00:12:25,616
the destinies of a nation
that had ceased to listen to him,

136
00:12:25,703 --> 00:12:27,443
ceased to trust him.

137
00:12:29,624 --> 00:12:33,617
Then last week, as it must to all men,

138
00:12:34,379 --> 00:12:37,041
death came to Charles Foster Kane.

139
00:12:37,924 --> 00:12:39,960
News On The March.

140
00:12:45,014 --> 00:12:46,879
-That's it.
-Hello, hello.

141
00:12:46,975 --> 00:12:49,057
Stand by.
I'll tell you if we want to run it again.

142
00:12:49,143 --> 00:12:52,180
-How about it, Mr. Rawlston?
-How do you like it, boys?

143
00:12:52,272 --> 00:12:54,433
Well, 70 years in a man's life.

144
00:12:54,524 --> 00:12:56,515
That's a lot
to try to get into a newsreel.

145
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:59,191
It's a good short, Thompson,
but what it needs is an angle.

146
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:02,362
All we saw on that screen
was that Charles Foster Kane is dead.

147
00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:04,530
I know that. I read the papers.

148
00:13:04,617 --> 00:13:07,450
You see, Thompson, it isn't enough
to tell us what a man did.

149
00:13:07,537 --> 00:13:09,698
You've got to tell us who he was.

150
00:13:09,789 --> 00:13:11,745
Certainly! Wait a minute!

151
00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:14,074
What were Kane's last words?

152
00:13:14,168 --> 00:13:16,124
-Do you remember, boys?
-Huh? Yes. Where?

153
00:13:16,212 --> 00:13:18,544
What were the last words he said on Earth?

154
00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:20,417
Maybe he told us all about himself
on his deathbed.

155
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:21,748
Yeah, and maybe he didn't. Maybe —

156
00:13:21,843 --> 00:13:23,925
-All we saw was a big American.
-One of the biggest!

157
00:13:24,012 --> 00:13:27,004
But how is he any different from Ford?
Or Hearst, for that matter? Or John Doe?

158
00:13:27,098 --> 00:13:28,087
Yeah, sure.

159
00:13:28,182 --> 00:13:29,843
I tell you, Thompson,
a man's dying words —

160
00:13:29,934 --> 00:13:32,016
-What were they?
-You don't read the papers.

161
00:13:32,103 --> 00:13:34,685
When Charles Foster Kane died,
he said just one word.

162
00:13:34,772 --> 00:13:36,637
"Rosebud."

163
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:40,521
-Tough guy, huh?
-Yes, "Rosebud." Just that one word.

164
00:13:40,611 --> 00:13:42,067
-But who is she?
-What was it?

165
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:44,020
Here's a man
that could have been president,

166
00:13:44,115 --> 00:13:45,855
who was as loved and hated

167
00:13:45,950 --> 00:13:48,032
and as talked about
as any man in our time.

168
00:13:48,119 --> 00:13:51,282
But when he comes to die, he's got
something on his mind called Rosebud.

169
00:13:51,372 --> 00:13:53,237
-Now, what does that mean?
-A racehorse he bet on once.

170
00:13:53,333 --> 00:13:55,039
-Yeah, that didn't come in.
-All right.

171
00:13:55,126 --> 00:13:57,208
-But what was the race?
-Rosebud.

172
00:13:57,295 --> 00:13:58,501
-Thompson.
-Yes, Mr. Rawlston?

173
00:13:58,588 --> 00:14:00,078
Hold this picture up a week.
Two weeks if you have to.

174
00:14:00,173 --> 00:14:03,165
-Don't you think right after his death —
-Find out about Rosebud.

175
00:14:03,259 --> 00:14:05,420
Get in touch with everybody
that ever knew him.

176
00:14:05,511 --> 00:14:07,126
Uh, who knew him well.

177
00:14:07,221 --> 00:14:10,179
That manager of his, uh... Bernstein.

178
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:12,803
-His second wife. She's still living.
-Susan Alexander Kane.

179
00:14:12,894 --> 00:14:14,759
She's running a nightclub
in Atlantic City.

180
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:16,219
See 'em all.

181
00:14:16,314 --> 00:14:20,307
Get in touch with everybody that ever
worked for him, whoever loved him,

182
00:14:20,401 --> 00:14:23,143
whoever hated his guts.

183
00:14:23,237 --> 00:14:25,478
I don't mean go through
the city directory, of course.

184
00:14:25,573 --> 00:14:27,234
I'll get on it right away, Mr. Rawlston.

185
00:14:27,325 --> 00:14:31,193
Good. Rosebud, dead or alive.

186
00:14:31,287 --> 00:14:33,619
It'll probably turn out
to be a very simple thing.

187
00:15:12,829 --> 00:15:14,035
Miss Alexander.

188
00:15:15,998 --> 00:15:18,114
This is Mr. Thompson, Miss Alexander.

189
00:15:18,209 --> 00:15:20,120
I want another drink, John.

190
00:15:23,548 --> 00:15:24,958
Right away.

191
00:15:25,049 --> 00:15:27,791
-Will you have something, Mr. Thompson?
-l'll have a highball, please.

192
00:15:27,885 --> 00:15:29,591
Who told you you could sit down?

193
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:33,675
I thought maybe we could have
a talk together.

194
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:35,176
Well, think again.

195
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:38,722
Can't you people leave me alone?

196
00:15:38,813 --> 00:15:40,929
I'm minding my own business,
you mind yours.

197
00:15:41,023 --> 00:15:43,730
If I could just have a little talk
with you, Miss Alexander, l'd —

198
00:15:43,818 --> 00:15:45,024
Get out of here.

199
00:15:47,530 --> 00:15:48,736
Gaom!

200
00:15:50,032 --> 00:15:51,863
-Sorry.
-Get out.

201
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:54,988
-Maybe some other time.
-Get out.

202
00:16:05,548 --> 00:16:06,663
Gino.

203
00:16:08,634 --> 00:16:10,420
Get her another highball.

204
00:16:10,511 --> 00:16:13,048
She just won't talk to nobody,
Mr. Thompson.

205
00:16:13,139 --> 00:16:14,345
Okay.

206
00:16:16,767 --> 00:16:18,678
Another double?

207
00:16:18,769 --> 00:16:19,929
Yeah.

208
00:16:20,021 --> 00:16:21,431
Hello, I want New York City.

209
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:27,809
All right.

210
00:16:27,904 --> 00:16:29,440
Hey.

211
00:16:29,530 --> 00:16:33,443
-She's, uh...
-Yeah. She'll snap out of it.

212
00:16:33,534 --> 00:16:37,072
Why, until he died, she'd just as soon
talk about Mr. Kane as about any —

213
00:16:37,163 --> 00:16:38,653
-He
lo, this is Thompson.
-Sooner.

214
00:16:38,748 --> 00:16:40,363
Let me talk to the chief, will you?

215
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:45,163
Hello, Mr. Rawlston. She won't talk.

216
00:16:45,254 --> 00:16:48,212
The second Mrs. Kane.
About Rosebud or anything else.

217
00:16:48,299 --> 00:16:49,664
I'm calling from Atlantic City.

218
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:51,545
Then tomorrow,
I'm going over to Philadelphia

219
00:16:51,636 --> 00:16:53,718
to the Thatcher Library
to see that private diary of his.

220
00:16:53,804 --> 00:16:55,044
Yeah, they're expecting me.

221
00:16:55,139 --> 00:16:57,130
Then I've got an appointment in New York
with Kane's general manager.

222
00:16:57,225 --> 00:16:58,840
What's his name? Uh, Bernstein.

223
00:16:58,935 --> 00:17:00,266
Then I'm coming back here.

224
00:17:00,353 --> 00:17:02,469
Yeah, I'll see everybody
that's still alive.

225
00:17:02,563 --> 00:17:03,973
Goodbye, Mr. Rawlston.

226
00:17:04,065 --> 00:17:05,930
-Hey, um...
-John.

227
00:17:06,025 --> 00:17:07,686
John, you just might be able to help me.

228
00:17:07,777 --> 00:17:09,893
When she used to talk about Mr. Kane,

229
00:17:09,987 --> 00:17:12,444
did she ever say anything about Rosebud?

230
00:17:12,532 --> 00:17:13,988
Rosebud?

231
00:17:14,075 --> 00:17:16,657
Well, thank you, Mr. Thompson. Thanks. Uh...

232
00:17:16,744 --> 00:17:18,655
As a matter of fact, uh,

233
00:17:18,746 --> 00:17:23,080
just the other day, when the papers
were full of it, I asked her.

234
00:17:25,002 --> 00:17:26,788
She never heard of Rosebud.

235
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:41,928
The directors
of the Thatcher Memorial Library

236
00:17:42,019 --> 00:17:44,431
have asked me to remind you again,
Mr. Thompson,

237
00:17:44,522 --> 00:17:46,979
about the conditions
under which you may inspect

238
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:49,352
certain portions of Mr. Thatcher's
unpublished memoirs.

239
00:17:49,443 --> 00:17:51,058
-I remember them.
-Yes, Jennings.

240
00:17:51,779 --> 00:17:53,485
-l'll bring him right in.
-All I want to know —

241
00:17:53,573 --> 00:17:55,814
Under no circumstances
are direct quotations

242
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:57,864
from his manuscript to be used by you.

243
00:17:57,952 --> 00:18:00,193
-You may come with me.
-l'm just looking for one...

244
00:18:14,010 --> 00:18:15,420
Jennings.

245
00:18:20,516 --> 00:18:22,973
-Thank you, Jennings.
-Yes, Miss Anderson.

246
00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:26,518
Mr. Thompson, you will be required
to leave this room at 4:30 promptly.

247
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:28,767
You will confine yourself,
it is our understanding,

248
00:18:28,858 --> 00:18:32,271
to the chapters in Mr. Thatcher's
manuscript regarding Mr. Kane.

249
00:18:32,361 --> 00:18:33,976
That's all I'm interested in.

250
00:18:35,406 --> 00:18:36,612
Thank you.

251
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:41,280
Pages 83 to 142.

252
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,612
Come on, boys. The Union forever!

253
00:19:21,702 --> 00:19:23,613
-Be careful, Charles.
-Mrs. Kane.

254
00:19:23,704 --> 00:19:25,615
Pull your muffler
around your neck, Charles.

255
00:19:25,706 --> 00:19:27,992
Mrs. Kane, I think
we shall have to tell him now.

256
00:19:28,084 --> 00:19:29,870
Yes.

257
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,451
l'll sign those papers now, Mr. Thatcher.

258
00:19:32,546 --> 00:19:35,162
You people seem to forget
that I'm the boy's father.

259
00:19:35,257 --> 00:19:37,919
It's going to be done exactly
the way I've told Mr. Thatcher.

260
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:39,875
There ain't nothing wrong with Colorado.

261
00:19:39,970 --> 00:19:44,009
I don't see why we can't raise our own son
just because we come into some money.

262
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:47,263
If I want, I can go to court.
A father has a right to.

263
00:19:47,353 --> 00:19:50,345
A boarder that beats his bill
and leaves worthless stock behind.

264
00:19:50,439 --> 00:19:54,398
That property is just as much my property
as anybody's, now that it's valuable,

265
00:19:54,485 --> 00:19:57,318
and if Fred Graves had any idea
all this was going to happen,

266
00:19:57,405 --> 00:19:59,566
he'd have made out those certificates
in both our names.

267
00:19:59,657 --> 00:20:01,397
However, they were made out
in Mrs. Kane's name.

268
00:20:01,492 --> 00:20:03,153
He owed the money for the board
to the both of us.

269
00:20:03,244 --> 00:20:04,825
The bank's decision in all matters —

270
00:20:04,912 --> 00:20:07,619
I don't hold with signing my boy away
to any bank as guardian —

271
00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:09,789
I want you to stop all this nonsense, Jim.

272
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:11,831
"The bank's decision on all matters

273
00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:14,126
concerning his education,
his places of residence

274
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:15,828
and similar subjects is to be final."

275
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:17,629
The idea of a bank being the guardian —

276
00:20:17,717 --> 00:20:19,207
I want you to stop all this nonsense, Jim.

277
00:20:19,301 --> 00:20:21,792
"We will assume full management
of the Colorado Lode."

278
00:20:21,887 --> 00:20:24,879
Of which I repeat, Mrs. Kane,
you are the sole owner.

279
00:20:24,974 --> 00:20:27,260
-Where do I sign, Mr. Thatcher?
-Right here, Mrs. Kane.

280
00:20:27,351 --> 00:20:30,218
Mary, I'm asking you for the last time.

281
00:20:32,523 --> 00:20:35,936
The sum of $50,000 a year
is to be paid to you and Mr. Kane

282
00:20:36,026 --> 00:20:37,391
as long as you both live,

283
00:20:37,486 --> 00:20:39,522
and thereafter to the survivor.

284
00:20:39,613 --> 00:20:43,572
-Well, let's hope it's all for the best.
-It is.

285
00:20:43,659 --> 00:20:45,399
The Union forever!

286
00:20:46,328 --> 00:20:48,569
Ya can't lick Andy Jackson!

287
00:20:48,664 --> 00:20:51,701
Why I can't raise my own boy
is more than I can understand.

288
00:20:51,792 --> 00:20:53,453
Go on, Mr. Thatcher.

289
00:20:54,378 --> 00:20:56,744
Everything else, the principal
as well as all monies earned,

290
00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:00,627
is to be administered by the bank in trust
for your son, Charles Foster Kane,

291
00:21:00,718 --> 00:21:02,879
until he reaches his 25th birthday,

292
00:21:02,970 --> 00:21:06,633
at which time he is to come
into complete possession.

293
00:21:06,724 --> 00:21:08,715
Charles!

294
00:21:09,977 --> 00:21:11,433
Go on, Mr. Thatcher.

295
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,762
Well, uh, it's almost 5:00, Mrs. Kane.

296
00:21:14,857 --> 00:21:16,939
Don't you think I'd better meet the boy?

297
00:21:17,026 --> 00:21:18,857
I've got his trunk all packed.

298
00:21:20,404 --> 00:21:22,395
I've had it packed for a week now.

299
00:21:25,367 --> 00:21:27,232
I've arranged for a tutor
to meet us in Chicago.

300
00:21:27,328 --> 00:21:29,284
I'd have brought him here with me, but...

301
00:21:30,831 --> 00:21:32,412
-Charles.
-Looky, Mom.

302
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:34,832
-You better come inside, son.
-Well, well, well.

303
00:21:34,919 --> 00:21:37,956
That's quite a snowman.
Did you make it all by yourself, my lad?

304
00:21:38,047 --> 00:21:40,880
Maybe I'll make some teeth and whiskers.

305
00:21:41,717 --> 00:21:43,753
This is Mr. Thatcher, Charles.

306
00:21:43,844 --> 00:21:45,835
-Hello.
-How do you do, Charles?

307
00:21:45,930 --> 00:21:47,795
-Uh, he comes from the East.
-Pa.

308
00:21:47,890 --> 00:21:49,801
-He

o, Charlie.
-Charles!

309
00:21:51,268 --> 00:21:52,474
Yes, Mommy?

310
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:57,313
Mr. Thatcher is going to take you
on a trip with him tonight.

311
00:21:57,399 --> 00:21:59,014
You'll be leaving on number ten.

312
00:21:59,109 --> 00:22:01,270
That's the train
with all the lights on it.

313
00:22:01,362 --> 00:22:02,693
-You going, Mom?
-Well, no.

314
00:22:02,780 --> 00:22:05,271
Your mother won't be going
right away, Charles, but she'll —

315
00:22:06,742 --> 00:22:09,484
-Where am I going?
-You're going to see Chicago.

316
00:22:09,578 --> 00:22:11,318
And New York, and Washington, maybe.

317
00:22:11,413 --> 00:22:13,324
-Ain't he, Mr. Thatcher?
-He certainly is.

318
00:22:13,415 --> 00:22:16,578
I wish I were a little boy going
on a trip like that for the first time.

319
00:22:16,669 --> 00:22:20,207
-Why aren't you coming with us, Mom?
-We have to stay here, Charles.

320
00:22:20,297 --> 00:22:23,039
You're gonna live with Mr. Thatcher
from now on, Charlie.

321
00:22:23,133 --> 00:22:25,715
You're going to be rich, your mom figures.

322
00:22:25,803 --> 00:22:27,919
Well, that is, me and her decided

323
00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:30,095
this ain't the place
for you to grow up in.

324
00:22:30,182 --> 00:22:33,049
You'll probably be the richest man
in America someday —

325
00:22:33,143 --> 00:22:35,259
-You won't be lonely, Charles.
-Lonely? Of course not.

326
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:37,094
Why, we're going to have
some fine times together.

327
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:39,225
Really, we are, Charles.
Now, shall we shake hands?

328
00:22:39,316 --> 00:22:41,978
Oh, come, come, come.
I'm not as frightening as all that, am I?

329
00:22:42,069 --> 00:22:43,525
Now what do you say? Let's shake.

330
00:22:43,612 --> 00:22:45,068
-Why, Charles!
-Charles, you almost hurt me.

331
00:22:45,155 --> 00:22:48,397
Why, sleds aren't to hit people with.
Sleds are to sleigh with.

332
00:22:48,492 --> 00:22:50,824
-Mom!
-You've got to go.

333
00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:53,030
-You little —
-Jim!

334
00:22:53,122 --> 00:22:56,285
I'm sorry, Mr. Thatcher.
What that kid needs is a good thrashing.

335
00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:58,240
-That's what you think, is it, Jim?
-Yes.

336
00:22:58,335 --> 00:23:01,327
That's why he's going to be brought up
where you can't get at him.

337
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:23,937
Well, Charles.

338
00:23:26,447 --> 00:23:29,280
-Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas.

339
00:23:29,366 --> 00:23:31,823
And a happy New Year.

340
00:23:31,911 --> 00:23:34,618
In closing, may I again remind you

341
00:23:34,705 --> 00:23:37,287
that your 25th birthday,
which is now approaching,

342
00:23:37,374 --> 00:23:40,912
marks your complete independence
from the firm of Thatcher and Company,

343
00:23:41,003 --> 00:23:43,745
as well as the assumption by you
of full responsibility

344
00:23:43,839 --> 00:23:45,079
for the world's
sixth-largest private fortune.

345
00:23:45,174 --> 00:23:46,289
Have you got that?

346
00:23:46,383 --> 00:23:47,714
"The world's
sixth-largest private fortune."

347
00:23:47,801 --> 00:23:49,382
Yes. Charles.

348
00:23:49,470 --> 00:23:51,586
I don't think you quite realize
the full importance

349
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,796
of the position
you are to occupy in the world.

350
00:23:53,891 --> 00:23:55,802
I am therefore enclosing
for your consideration

351
00:23:55,893 --> 00:23:58,635
a complete list of your holdings
extensively cross-indexed . ..

352
00:23:58,729 --> 00:23:59,889
"Dear Mr. Thatcher."

353
00:23:59,980 --> 00:24:01,265
-It's from Mr. Kane.
-Go on.

354
00:24:01,357 --> 00:24:03,564
"Sorry, but I'm not interested
in gold mines,

355
00:24:03,651 --> 00:24:05,562
oil wells, shipping or real estate —"

356
00:24:05,653 --> 00:24:07,769
Not interested? Not in —

357
00:24:07,863 --> 00:24:11,196
"One item on your list intrigues me —
the New York Inquirer.

358
00:24:11,283 --> 00:24:14,446
A little newspaper I understand
we acquired in a foreclosure proceeding.

359
00:24:14,536 --> 00:24:17,027
Please don't sell it. I am coming
back to America to take charge.

360
00:24:17,122 --> 00:24:19,329
I think it would be fun
to run a newspaper."

361
00:24:19,416 --> 00:24:23,409
"I think it would be fun
to run a newspaper."

362
00:24:31,345 --> 00:24:33,711
"Traction Trust exposed."

363
00:24:33,806 --> 00:24:36,047
"Traction Trust bleeds public white."

364
00:24:36,141 --> 00:24:38,757
"Traction Trust smashed by Inquirer."

365
00:24:39,728 --> 00:24:42,435
"Landlords refuse to clear slums."

366
00:24:43,691 --> 00:24:46,057
"Inquirer wins slum fight."

367
00:24:46,151 --> 00:24:47,982
Tsk.

368
00:24:48,654 --> 00:24:51,487
Hey! Wall Street
backs copper swindle!

369
00:24:52,574 --> 00:24:54,735
"Copper robbers indicted."

370
00:24:54,827 --> 00:24:57,739
"Galleons of Spain off Jersey Coast."

371
00:24:57,830 --> 00:25:00,537
Is that really your idea
of how to run a newspaper?

372
00:25:00,624 --> 00:25:02,580
I don't know how to run a newspaper,
Mr. Thatcher.

373
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:03,908
I just try everything I can think of.

374
00:25:04,003 --> 00:25:06,039
Charles, you know perfectly well,
there's not the slightest proof

375
00:25:06,130 --> 00:25:08,041
that this armada is off the Jersey Coast.

376
00:25:08,132 --> 00:25:09,872
-He
lo, Mr. Bernstein.
-Excuse me, Mr. Kane.

377
00:25:09,967 --> 00:25:11,457
-Can you prove it isn't?
-This just came in.

378
00:25:11,552 --> 00:25:13,463
Mr. Bernstein, I'd like you
to meet Mr. Thatcher.

379
00:25:13,554 --> 00:25:15,294
-
'

 just borrow a cigar.
-How do you do, Mr. Thatcher?

380
00:25:15,389 --> 00:25:17,971
Leland, uh, Mr. Thatcher, my ex—guardian.

381
00:25:18,058 --> 00:25:20,515
We have no secrets
from our readers, Mr. Bernstein.

382
00:25:20,602 --> 00:25:22,968
Mr. Thatcher is one
of our most devoted readers.

383
00:25:23,063 --> 00:25:25,930
He knows what's wrong with every copy
of the Inquirer since I took over.

384
00:25:26,025 --> 00:25:27,356
Read the cable.

385
00:25:27,443 --> 00:25:29,479
"Girls delightful in Cuba, stop.

386
00:25:29,570 --> 00:25:32,027
Could send you prose poems about scenery

387
00:25:32,114 --> 00:25:34,196
but don't feel right
spending your money, stop.

388
00:25:34,283 --> 00:25:36,615
There is no war in Cuba. Signed, Wheeler."

389
00:25:36,702 --> 00:25:38,238
-Any answer?
-Yes. Dear Wheeler.

390
00:25:38,328 --> 00:25:41,661
You provide the prose poems,
I'll provide the war.

391
00:25:41,749 --> 00:25:43,956
-That's fine, Mr. Kane.
-Yes, I rather like it myself.

392
00:25:44,043 --> 00:25:47,035
Charles, I came to see you
about this campaign of yours.

393
00:25:47,129 --> 00:25:49,415
This Inquirer campaign against
the Public Transit Company.

394
00:25:49,506 --> 00:25:52,043
Mr. Thatcher, do you know anything
we could use against them?

395
00:25:52,134 --> 00:25:53,544
Still the college boy, aren't you?

396
00:25:53,635 --> 00:25:55,591
Oh, no, Mr. Thatcher,
l was expelled from college.

397
00:25:55,679 --> 00:25:57,886
A lot of colleges. You remember.
I remember.

398
00:25:57,973 --> 00:26:01,557
Charles, I think I should remind you
of a fact that you seem to have forgotten.

399
00:26:01,643 --> 00:26:04,476
That you are yourself
one of the largest individual stockholders

400
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:05,769
in the Public Transit Company!

401
00:26:05,856 --> 00:26:08,563
The trouble is you don't realize
you're talking to two people.

402
00:26:08,650 --> 00:26:12,063
As Charles Foster Kane,
who owns 82,364 shares

403
00:26:12,154 --> 00:26:13,644
of Public Transit, preferred —

404
00:26:13,739 --> 00:26:15,730
you see, I do have
a general idea of my holdings —

405
00:26:15,824 --> 00:26:17,064
l sympathize with you.

406
00:26:17,159 --> 00:26:19,992
Charles Foster Kane is a scoundrel.
His paper should be run out of town.

407
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:21,819
A committee should be formed
to boycott him.

408
00:26:21,914 --> 00:26:25,247
You may, if you can form such a committee,
put me down for a contribution of $1,000.

409
00:26:25,334 --> 00:26:28,417
On the other hand,
I am the publisher of the Inquirer!

410
00:26:28,504 --> 00:26:32,918
As such it's my duty — and I'll let you in
on a little secret — it's also my pleasure

411
00:26:33,008 --> 00:26:35,215
to see to it that decent,
hardworking people in this community

412
00:26:35,302 --> 00:26:38,294
aren't robbed blind
by a pack of money-mad pirates

413
00:26:38,388 --> 00:26:42,097
just because they haven't anybody
to look after their interests.

414
00:26:43,644 --> 00:26:46,727
I'll let you in on another
little secret, Mr. Thatcher.

415
00:26:46,814 --> 00:26:50,648
I think I'm the man to do it.
You see, I have money and property.

416
00:26:50,734 --> 00:26:53,100
If I don't look after the interests
of the underprivileged,

417
00:26:53,195 --> 00:26:54,651
maybe somebody else will.

418
00:26:54,738 --> 00:26:56,524
Maybe somebody
without any money or property.

419
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:58,446
-Yes, yes, money and property.
-And that would be too bad.

420
00:26:58,534 --> 00:27:00,866
I happened to see your financial
statement today, Charles.

421
00:27:00,953 --> 00:27:03,569
-Oh, did you?
-Now tell me, honestly, my boy.

422
00:27:03,664 --> 00:27:07,953
Don't you think it's rather unwise
to continue this philanthropic enterprise,

423
00:27:08,043 --> 00:27:11,126
this Inquirer that's costing you
a million dollars a year?

424
00:27:11,213 --> 00:27:14,046
You're right, Mr. Thatcher.
I did lose a million dollars last year.

425
00:27:14,133 --> 00:27:16,044
I expect to lose
a million dollars this year.

426
00:27:16,135 --> 00:27:18,467
I expect to lose
a million dollars next year.

427
00:27:18,554 --> 00:27:21,045
You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate
of a million dollars a year,

428
00:27:21,140 --> 00:27:24,724
I'll have to close this place
in... 60 years.

429
00:27:34,528 --> 00:27:39,397
"With respect to the said newspapers,
the said Charles Foster Kane

430
00:27:39,491 --> 00:27:43,359
hereby relinquishes all control thereof

431
00:27:43,453 --> 00:27:46,320
and of the syndicates pertaining thereto

432
00:27:46,415 --> 00:27:49,122
and any and all other newspaper, press

433
00:27:49,209 --> 00:27:52,747
and publishing properties
of any kind whatsoever,

434
00:27:52,838 --> 00:27:55,420
and agrees to abandon all claim thereto —"

435
00:27:55,507 --> 00:27:57,919
Which means we're bust.
All right.

436
00:27:58,010 --> 00:28:00,547
-Well, out of cash.
-All right, Mr. Bernstein.

437
00:28:00,637 --> 00:28:02,548
I've read it, Mr. Thatcher.

438
00:28:02,639 --> 00:28:05,005
Let me sign it and I'll go home.

439
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:08,467
You're too old to call me
"Mr. Thatcher," Charles.

440
00:28:08,562 --> 00:28:10,848
You're too old to be called anything else.

441
00:28:11,648 --> 00:28:13,388
You were always too old.

442
00:28:14,484 --> 00:28:16,725
"In consideration thereof,

443
00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:20,563
Thatcher and Company agrees
to pay to Charles Foster Kane

444
00:28:20,657 --> 00:28:22,773
-as long as he lives —"
-My allowance.

445
00:28:22,868 --> 00:28:26,235
You will continue to maintain
over your newspapers

446
00:28:26,330 --> 00:28:28,992
a large measure of control.

447
00:28:29,082 --> 00:28:31,869
Measure of control?

448
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,952
And we shall seek your advice.

449
00:28:37,841 --> 00:28:41,425
This depression, temporary.

450
00:28:42,930 --> 00:28:46,843
There's always the chance
that you'll die richer than I will.

451
00:28:46,934 --> 00:28:49,391
It's a cinch l'll die richer
than I was born.

452
00:28:49,478 --> 00:28:52,015
We never lost as much as we made.

453
00:28:52,105 --> 00:28:54,892
Yes, yes, but your methods.

454
00:28:54,983 --> 00:28:59,317
You know, Charles,
you never made a single investment.

455
00:28:59,404 --> 00:29:01,770
Always used money to...

456
00:29:02,616 --> 00:29:05,528
To buy things, hmm?

457
00:29:07,537 --> 00:29:08,947
To buy things.

458
00:29:11,124 --> 00:29:14,457
My mother should have chosen
a less reliable banker.

459
00:29:17,881 --> 00:29:18,961
Well...

460
00:29:21,802 --> 00:29:25,590
I always gagged on that silver spoon.

461
00:29:27,182 --> 00:29:29,047
You know, Mr. Bernstein...

462
00:29:31,311 --> 00:29:33,051
if I hadn't been very rich...

463
00:29:34,648 --> 00:29:36,980
I might have been a really great man.

464
00:29:37,067 --> 00:29:38,477
Don't you think you are?

465
00:29:41,238 --> 00:29:43,854
I think I did pretty well
under the circumstances.

466
00:29:46,243 --> 00:29:48,234
What would you like to have been?

467
00:29:51,498 --> 00:29:52,908
Everything you hate.

468
00:30:01,550 --> 00:30:03,131
-Oh.
-I beg your pardon, sir?

469
00:30:03,218 --> 00:30:05,209
-What?
-What did you say?

470
00:30:05,304 --> 00:30:06,794
It's 4:30.

471
00:30:06,888 --> 00:30:09,174
-lsn't it, Jennings?
-Yes'm, ma'am.

472
00:30:09,266 --> 00:30:11,723
You have enjoyed a very rare privilege,
young man.

473
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:14,142
-Did you find what you were looking for?
-No.

474
00:30:17,357 --> 00:30:19,439
-You're not Rosebud, are you?
-What?

475
00:30:19,526 --> 00:30:22,313
Rosebud. And your name
is Jennings, isn't it?

476
00:30:22,404 --> 00:30:24,235
-Yes, sir —
-Goodbye, everybody!

477
00:30:24,323 --> 00:30:26,188
Thanks for the use of the hall.

478
00:30:27,743 --> 00:30:29,950
Who's a busy man? Me?

479
00:30:30,037 --> 00:30:32,699
I'm chairman of the board.
I got nothing but time.

480
00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:33,949
What do you want to know?

481
00:30:34,041 --> 00:30:35,872
Well, Mr. Bernstein, we thought maybe

482
00:30:35,959 --> 00:30:38,746
if we could find out what he meant
by his last words as he was dying.

483
00:30:38,837 --> 00:30:40,748
That Rosebud, huh?

484
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:43,330
Maybe some girl?

485
00:30:43,425 --> 00:30:45,666
There were a lot of them
back in the early days.

486
00:30:45,761 --> 00:30:47,342
It's hardly likely, Mr. Bernstein,

487
00:30:47,429 --> 00:30:49,511
that Mr. Kane could have met
some girl casually

488
00:30:49,598 --> 00:30:51,384
and then 50 years later on his deathbed —

489
00:30:51,475 --> 00:30:55,593
Well, you're pretty young,
Mister... Mr. Thompson.

490
00:30:56,438 --> 00:30:59,976
A fellow will remember a lot of things
you wouldn't think he'd remember.

491
00:31:00,067 --> 00:31:01,853
You take me.

492
00:31:01,943 --> 00:31:07,108
One day back in 1896,
I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry

493
00:31:07,199 --> 00:31:10,566
and as we pulled out,
there was another ferry pulling in,

494
00:31:10,660 --> 00:31:13,026
and on it, there was a girl
waiting to get off.

495
00:31:13,997 --> 00:31:18,582
A white dress she had on,
and she was carrying a white parasol.

496
00:31:18,668 --> 00:31:22,707
And I only saw her for one second.
She didn't see me at all.

497
00:31:23,673 --> 00:31:29,293
But I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since
that I haven't thought of that girl.

498
00:31:30,639 --> 00:31:32,379
Who else have you been to see?

499
00:31:32,474 --> 00:31:34,931
Well, I went down to Atlantic City.

500
00:31:35,018 --> 00:31:36,007
Susie?

501
00:31:36,978 --> 00:31:38,058
Thank you.

502
00:31:38,730 --> 00:31:42,018
I called her myself the day after he died.

503
00:31:42,109 --> 00:31:44,521
I thought maybe somebody ought to.

504
00:31:45,779 --> 00:31:47,235
Couldn't even come to the phone.

505
00:31:47,322 --> 00:31:49,984
I'm going down to see her again
in a couple of days.

506
00:31:50,075 --> 00:31:52,111
About Rosebud, Mr. Bernstein.

507
00:31:52,202 --> 00:31:54,818
If you'd just talk about
anything connected with Mr. Kane

508
00:31:54,913 --> 00:31:56,119
that you can remember.

509
00:31:56,206 --> 00:31:58,071
After all, you were with him
from the beginning.

510
00:31:58,166 --> 00:32:00,828
From before the beginning, young fellow.

511
00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:03,410
And now, it's after the end.

512
00:32:04,506 --> 00:32:06,918
Have you tried to see
anybody except Susie?

513
00:32:07,008 --> 00:32:08,544
I haven't seen anybody else.

514
00:32:08,635 --> 00:32:10,967
I've been through that stuff
of Walter Thatcher's, that journal of his.

515
00:32:11,054 --> 00:32:14,592
Thatcher. That man was
the biggest darn fool I ever met.

516
00:32:14,683 --> 00:32:16,014
He made an awful lot of money.

517
00:32:16,101 --> 00:32:20,720
Well, it's no trick to make a lot of money
if all you want...

518
00:32:23,066 --> 00:32:24,852
is to make a lot of money.

519
00:32:27,112 --> 00:32:28,898
You take Mr. Kane.

520
00:32:30,782 --> 00:32:32,898
It wasn't money he wanted.

521
00:32:34,661 --> 00:32:36,697
Thatcher never did figure him out.

522
00:32:36,788 --> 00:32:38,995
Sometimes even I couldn't.

523
00:32:39,082 --> 00:32:41,494
You know who you ought to see?

524
00:32:41,585 --> 00:32:44,793
Mr. Leland.
He was Mr. Kane's closest friend.

525
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,996
-They went to school together.
-Harvard, wasn't it?

526
00:32:47,090 --> 00:32:50,708
Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Cornell, Switzerland.

527
00:32:50,802 --> 00:32:53,509
He was thrown out of a lot of colleges.

528
00:32:53,597 --> 00:32:56,464
Mr. Leland never had a nickel.

529
00:32:56,558 --> 00:32:59,971
One of those old families
where the father is worth ten million,

530
00:33:00,061 --> 00:33:01,722
and then one day he shoots himself

531
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:03,804
and it turns out
there's nothing but debts.

532
00:33:05,692 --> 00:33:08,729
He was with Mr. Kane and me

533
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:11,937
the first day Mr. Kane
took over the Inquirer.

534
00:33:19,581 --> 00:33:21,321
Take a good look at it, Jedediah.

535
00:33:22,292 --> 00:33:24,328
It's gonna look a lot different
one of these days.

536
00:33:24,419 --> 00:33:25,499
Come on.

537
00:33:35,180 --> 00:33:38,263
There ain't no bedrooms in this joint.
That's a newspaper building.

538
00:33:38,350 --> 00:33:41,763
You're getting paid, mister,
for opinions or for hauling?

539
00:33:45,857 --> 00:33:48,064
-Jedediah.
-After you, Mr. Kane.

540
00:34:00,997 --> 00:34:02,862
Excuse me, sir, but I —

541
00:34:06,169 --> 00:34:08,410
Welcome, Mr. Kane.

542
00:34:08,505 --> 00:34:09,915
Welcome.

543
00:34:10,715 --> 00:34:13,457
Uh, welcome to the Inquirer, Mr. Kane.

544
00:34:13,552 --> 00:34:15,713
I am Herbert Carter, the editor-in-chief.

545
00:34:15,804 --> 00:34:18,637
Thank you, Mr. Carter,
but, uh, this is Mr. Leland.

546
00:34:18,723 --> 00:34:21,180
-How do you do, Mr. Leland?
-The new dramatic critic.

547
00:34:21,268 --> 00:34:24,431
I hope I haven't made a mistake, Jedediah.
It is a dramatic critic you want to be?

548
00:34:24,521 --> 00:34:26,512
-You know that's right.
-Are they standing for me?

549
00:34:26,606 --> 00:34:29,268
-You? Oh, Mr. Kane.
-Yes.

550
00:34:29,359 --> 00:34:31,099
-Standing?
-How do you do?

551
00:34:31,194 --> 00:34:34,277
How do you do? I thought
it would be a nice little gesture...

552
00:34:34,364 --> 00:34:37,856
-Ask them to sit down, will you, please?
-...the new, uh — new publisher.

553
00:34:37,951 --> 00:34:41,489
Uh, you may resume your duties, gentlemen.

554
00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:44,242
-I didn't know your plans, so I —
-I don't know my plans myself.

555
00:34:44,332 --> 00:34:47,369
-I was unable to make any preparations.
-Matter of fact, I haven't got any plans.

556
00:34:47,460 --> 00:34:49,246
-No?
-Except to get out a newspaper.

557
00:34:54,426 --> 00:34:56,166
-Oops.
-Mr. Bernstein?

558
00:34:56,261 --> 00:34:57,876
Yes, Mr. Kane.

559
00:34:57,971 --> 00:34:59,586
Mr. Carter, this is Mr. Bernstein.

560
00:34:59,681 --> 00:35:02,172
Mr. Bernstein
is my general manager, Mr. Carter.

561
00:35:02,267 --> 00:35:04,223
-How do you do, Mr. Carter?
-Mr. Carter.

562
00:35:04,311 --> 00:35:05,721
-Yes?
-Mr. Carter.

563
00:35:05,812 --> 00:35:07,268
-How do you do?
-Mr. Carter.

564
00:35:07,355 --> 00:35:08,640
-Yes, how do you do?
-Mr. Carter!

565
00:35:08,732 --> 00:35:10,017
-Yes, Mr. "Bernstine."
-Mr. Carter.

566
00:35:10,108 --> 00:35:11,268
-"Stein."
-Kane!

567
00:35:11,359 --> 00:35:13,850
Mr. Carter,
is this your office, Mr. Carter?

568
00:35:13,945 --> 00:35:16,186
My, uh — My—My little, uh,

569
00:35:16,281 --> 00:35:18,647
private sanctum
is at your disposal, but I —

570
00:35:18,742 --> 00:35:20,073
-Excuse me.
-Glad to hear that.

571
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,196
I-l don't understand.

572
00:35:22,287 --> 00:35:26,326
Mr. Carter, I'm going to live right here
in your office as long as l have to and —

573
00:35:26,416 --> 00:35:28,077
-Mr. Carter.
-Uh, live here?

574
00:35:28,168 --> 00:35:30,159
-That's right.
-Mr. Carter, excuse me.

575
00:35:30,253 --> 00:35:32,289
B-But the morning newspaper, Mr. Kane.

576
00:35:32,380 --> 00:35:33,870
-After all —
-Excuse me.

577
00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:35,796
-W-We're practically closed for 12 hou —
-Excuse me.

578
00:35:35,884 --> 00:35:37,670
-Twelve hou... a day.
-Excuse me.

579
00:35:37,761 --> 00:35:40,594
That's one of the things that's going to
have to be changed around here.

580
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,171
The news goes on for 24 hours a day.

581
00:35:43,266 --> 00:35:44,426
-Twenty —
-Excuse me.

582
00:35:44,517 --> 00:35:45,848
-That's right, Mr. Carter.
-Excuse me.

583
00:35:45,935 --> 00:35:47,926
-Mr. Kane —
-Excuse me.

584
00:35:48,021 --> 00:35:50,012
Mr. Kane, it's impossible. We...

585
00:35:50,106 --> 00:35:52,062
-...draw that cartoon.
-Here's what I mean.

586
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:54,732
I'm no good as a cartoonist.

587
00:35:54,819 --> 00:35:56,434
-Look at that.
-You certainly aren't.

588
00:35:56,529 --> 00:35:58,440
You're the dramatic critic, Leland.
That's enough.

589
00:35:58,531 --> 00:36:00,487
-You still eating?
-l'm still hungry.

590
00:36:00,575 --> 00:36:03,157
Now, look, Mr. Carter,
here's a front page story in the Chronicle

591
00:36:03,244 --> 00:36:06,077
about a Mrs. Harry Silverstone
in Brooklyn who is missing.

592
00:36:06,164 --> 00:36:09,122
Now, she's probably murdered.
Here's a picture of her in the Chronicle.

593
00:36:09,209 --> 00:36:10,699
Why isn't there something
about it in the Inquirer?

594
00:36:10,794 --> 00:36:13,410
Because we're running a newspaper,
not a scandal sheet!

595
00:36:13,505 --> 00:36:15,166
Joseph, I'm absolutely starving to death!

596
00:36:15,256 --> 00:36:17,622
-Excuse me, Mr. "Bernstine."
-That's all right.

597
00:36:17,717 --> 00:36:19,002
Look, Mr. Carter,

598
00:36:19,094 --> 00:36:22,086
here is a three-column headline
in the Chronicle.

599
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:24,296
Why hasn't the Inquirer
a three-column headline?

600
00:36:24,391 --> 00:36:25,972
-The news wasn't big enough.
-Mm-hmm.

601
00:36:26,059 --> 00:36:30,268
Mr. Carter, if the headline is big enough,
it makes the news big enough.

602
00:36:30,355 --> 00:36:31,765
That's right, Mr. Kane.

603
00:36:31,856 --> 00:36:33,721
Now, the murder
of this Mrs. Harry Silverstone —

604
00:36:33,817 --> 00:36:36,433
There's no proof that that woman
was murdered or even that she's dead.

605
00:36:36,528 --> 00:36:38,564
She's missing and the neighbors
are getting suspicious.

606
00:36:38,655 --> 00:36:41,613
It's not our function to report
the gossip of housewives.

607
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:43,907
If we were interested
in that kind of thing, Mr. Kane,

608
00:36:43,993 --> 00:36:45,733
we could fill the paper twice over daily.

609
00:36:45,829 --> 00:36:50,289
Mr. Carter, that's the kind of thing we
are going to be interested in from now on.

610
00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:52,832
I want you to send your best man
to see Mr. Silverstone in Brooklyn.

611
00:36:52,919 --> 00:36:54,284
Have him tell Mr. Silverstone

612
00:36:54,379 --> 00:36:56,370
if he doesn't produce his wife,
Mrs. Silverstone, at once,

613
00:36:56,464 --> 00:36:58,625
the Inquirer will have him arrested.

614
00:36:58,717 --> 00:37:01,083
And tell Mr. Silverstone
he's a detective from, uh...

615
00:37:01,177 --> 00:37:03,543
-Central Office.
-The Central Office.

616
00:37:03,638 --> 00:37:08,507
If Mr. Silverstone gets suspicious
and asks to see your man's badge,

617
00:37:08,601 --> 00:37:12,389
your man is to get indignant
and call Mr. Silverstone an anarchist.

618
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,722
Loudly, so the neighbors can hear.
You ready for dinner, Jedediah?

619
00:37:15,817 --> 00:37:18,183
I-l can't see that the function
of a respectable newspaper —

620
00:37:18,278 --> 00:37:21,065
You've been most understanding.
Thank you so much, Mr. Carter.

621
00:37:21,156 --> 00:37:23,112
And, uh, goodbye.

622
00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:24,279
Goodbye.

623
00:37:25,118 --> 00:37:26,904
Paper! Read all about it!

624
00:37:26,995 --> 00:37:29,156
Paper! Paper, mister?
Wanna read about it? Here it is.

625
00:37:29,247 --> 00:37:31,329
Just read it in the Chronicle.
The early morning Chronic/e.

626
00:37:33,543 --> 00:37:36,501
Read all about it.
Get your early morning Chronic/e.

627
00:37:36,588 --> 00:37:38,874
Read all about it in the Chronicle.

628
00:37:51,060 --> 00:37:54,803
It'll be on the street soon, Charlie.
Another ten minutes.

629
00:37:54,898 --> 00:37:57,685
Three hours and 50 minutes late,
but we did it.

630
00:37:57,776 --> 00:37:58,982
-Tired?
-Tough day.

631
00:37:59,068 --> 00:38:00,979
-A wasted day.
-Wasted?

632
00:38:01,070 --> 00:38:04,153
You only made the paper over
four times tonight, that's all.

633
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:07,357
I've changed the front page a little,
Mr. Bernstein. That's not enough.

634
00:38:07,452 --> 00:38:09,738
No, there's something
I've got to get into this paper

635
00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:12,366
besides pictures and print.

636
00:38:12,457 --> 00:38:14,664
I've got to make the New York Inquirer

637
00:38:14,751 --> 00:38:17,163
as important to New York
as the gas in that light.

638
00:38:18,421 --> 00:38:20,002
What are you gonna do, Charlie?

639
00:38:20,089 --> 00:38:22,205
Declaration of Principles.

640
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:24,632
Don't smile, Jedediah.

641
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,677
Got it all written out.
"Declaration of Principles."

642
00:38:27,764 --> 00:38:30,631
You don't wanna make any promises,
Mr. Kane, you don't wanna keep.

643
00:38:30,725 --> 00:38:31,965
These will be kept.

644
00:38:33,394 --> 00:38:36,101
"I'll provide the people of this city

645
00:38:36,189 --> 00:38:40,023
with a daily paper that will
tell all the news honestly.

646
00:38:40,944 --> 00:38:42,059
I will also provide —"

647
00:38:42,153 --> 00:38:44,235
That's the second sentence
you've started with "l."

648
00:38:44,322 --> 00:38:46,563
People are gonna know who's responsible.

649
00:38:46,658 --> 00:38:48,740
And they're gonna get the truth
in the Inquirer,

650
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:50,442
quickly and simply and entertainingly,

651
00:38:50,537 --> 00:38:54,371
and no special interests are going to be
allowed to interfere with that truth.

652
00:38:54,457 --> 00:38:57,915
"I'll also provide them with a fighting
and tireless champion of their rights

653
00:38:58,002 --> 00:39:01,085
as citizens and as human beings."

654
00:39:02,006 --> 00:39:07,501
Signed, Charles Foster... Kane.

655
00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:10,712
-Can I have that, Charlie?
-l'm gonna print it.

656
00:39:10,807 --> 00:39:13,173
-Solly!
-Solly!

657
00:39:13,268 --> 00:39:15,384
-Yes, Mr. Kane?
-Here's an editorial, Solly.

658
00:39:15,478 --> 00:39:17,343
I want you to run it in a box
on the front page.

659
00:39:17,438 --> 00:39:19,770
-This morning's front page, Mr. Kane?
-That's right, Solly.

660
00:39:19,858 --> 00:39:22,315
That means we're gonna have
to remake again, doesn't it, Solly?

661
00:39:22,402 --> 00:39:23,983
You better go down and tell 'em.

662
00:39:24,070 --> 00:39:25,651
-All right.
-So

y.

663
00:39:25,738 --> 00:39:28,730
When you're through with that,
I'd like to have it back.

664
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,822
I'd like to keep that particular
piece of paper myself.

665
00:39:34,581 --> 00:39:38,790
I have a hunch it might turn out to be
something pretty important.

666
00:39:38,877 --> 00:39:41,084
-A document.
-Sure.

667
00:39:41,170 --> 00:39:45,129
Like the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution.

668
00:39:45,216 --> 00:39:48,253
And my first report card at school.

669
00:40:16,414 --> 00:40:19,747
I know you're tired, gentlemen,
but I brought you here for a reason.

670
00:40:19,834 --> 00:40:21,699
I think this little pilgrimage
will do us good.

671
00:40:21,794 --> 00:40:23,125
Chronic/e is a good newspaper.

672
00:40:23,212 --> 00:40:25,294
The Chronicle is a good idea
for a newspaper.

673
00:40:25,381 --> 00:40:28,088
-Notice the circulation.
-495,000.

674
00:40:28,176 --> 00:40:31,168
But, Mr. Kane, look who's
working for the Chronicle.

675
00:40:31,262 --> 00:40:33,423
With them fellows,
it's no trick to get circulation.

676
00:40:33,514 --> 00:40:34,879
You're right, Mr. Bernstein.

677
00:40:34,974 --> 00:40:38,341
You know how long it took
the Chronicle to get that staff together?

678
00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:40,802
-Twenty years.
-Twenty years?

679
00:40:40,897 --> 00:40:46,733
Well, six years ago, I looked at a picture
of the world's greatest newspapermen.

680
00:40:46,819 --> 00:40:49,231
I felt like a kid
in front of a candy store.

681
00:40:49,322 --> 00:40:53,406
Well, tonight, six years later,
I got my candy, all of it.

682
00:40:53,493 --> 00:40:55,404
Welcome, gentlemen, to the Inquirer.

683
00:40:55,495 --> 00:40:57,201
Make up an extra copy of that picture

684
00:40:57,288 --> 00:40:59,324
and send it to the Chronicle,
will you, please?

685
00:41:00,583 --> 00:41:03,290
It'll make you all happy to learn
that our circulation this morning

686
00:41:03,378 --> 00:41:06,836
was the greatest in New York — 684,000.

687
00:41:07,590 --> 00:41:10,753
Six hundred and eighty-four thousand,
one hundred and thirty-two.

688
00:41:10,843 --> 00:41:12,379
Right!

689
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:14,051
Having thus welcomed you,

690
00:41:14,138 --> 00:41:16,675
I hope you'll forgive my rudeness
in taking leave of you.

691
00:41:16,766 --> 00:41:19,553
I'm going abroad next week for a vacation.

692
00:41:19,644 --> 00:41:22,932
I've promised my doctor for some time now
that I'd leave when I could

693
00:41:23,022 --> 00:41:25,138
and 
 now realize that I can.

694
00:41:25,233 --> 00:41:28,145
Say, Mr. Kane,
as long as you're promising,

695
00:41:28,236 --> 00:41:31,649
there's a lot of pictures and statues
in Europe you haven't bought yet.

696
00:41:31,739 --> 00:41:34,196
You can't blame me, Mr. Bernstein.

697
00:41:34,283 --> 00:41:37,320
They've been making statues
for 2,000 years

698
00:41:37,412 --> 00:41:39,368
and I've only been buying for five.

699
00:41:39,455 --> 00:41:42,162
-Promise me, Mr. Kane.
-I promise you, Mr. Bernstein.

700
00:41:42,250 --> 00:41:43,285
Thank you.

701
00:41:43,376 --> 00:41:45,037
-Mr. Bernstein.
-Yes?

702
00:41:45,128 --> 00:41:47,790
You don't expect me to keep
any of those promises, do you?

703
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,871
No.

704
00:41:49,966 --> 00:41:52,207
And now, gentlemen!

705
00:41:52,301 --> 00:41:56,260
Your complete attention, if you please!

706
00:42:01,477 --> 00:42:04,264
Are we going to declare war on Spain
or are we not?

707
00:42:12,363 --> 00:42:15,730
-Oh, mama, here they come.
-Shoot me while I'm happy.

708
00:42:23,875 --> 00:42:25,365
I said,

709
00:42:25,460 --> 00:42:29,419
are we going to declare war
on Spain or are we not?

710
00:42:29,505 --> 00:42:31,621
The Inquirer already has.

711
00:42:31,716 --> 00:42:35,675
You long-faced, overdressed anarchist.

712
00:42:35,762 --> 00:42:38,595
-I am not overdressed.
-You are too.

713
00:42:38,681 --> 00:42:40,922
Mr. Bernstein, look at his necktie.

714
00:42:41,017 --> 00:42:43,178
-Let's have the song about Charlie!
-Mr. Kane!

715
00:42:43,269 --> 00:42:46,352
-Is there a song about Charlie?
-ls there a song about you, Mr. Kane?

716
00:42:46,439 --> 00:42:50,182
You buy a bag of peanuts in this town,
you get a song written about you.

717
00:43:00,578 --> 00:43:02,409
-I've seen that fellow. He's good.
-Yeah.

718
00:43:03,456 --> 00:43:04,571
Good evening, Mr. Kane.

719
00:43:04,665 --> 00:43:06,530
-There is a man
-There is a man

720
00:43:06,626 --> 00:43:07,866
-A certain man
-A certain man

721
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,825
And for the poor you may be sure

722
00:43:09,921 --> 00:43:11,286
That he'll do all he can

723
00:43:11,380 --> 00:43:13,041
-Who is this one?
-Who is this one?

724
00:43:13,132 --> 00:43:14,918
-This favorite son
-This favorite son

725
00:43:15,009 --> 00:43:17,842
I Just by his action
Has the Traction magnates on the run J‘

726
00:43:17,929 --> 00:43:19,760
-Who loves to smoke
-Who loves to smoke

727
00:43:19,847 --> 00:43:21,587
-Enjoys a joke
-Ha-ha-ha

728
00:43:21,682 --> 00:43:24,674
Who wouldn't get a bit upset
If he were really broke

729
00:43:24,769 --> 00:43:26,509
-With wealth and fame
-Wealth and fame

730
00:43:26,604 --> 00:43:28,140
-He's still the same
-Still the same

731
00:43:28,231 --> 00:43:29,892
I'll bet you five you're not alive

732
00:43:29,982 --> 00:43:32,189
If you don't know his name

733
00:43:36,864 --> 00:43:38,900
-What is his name?
-What is his name?

734
00:43:38,991 --> 00:43:41,198
It's Charlie Kane, it's Mister Kane!

735
00:43:41,285 --> 00:43:42,775
He doesn't like that Mister

736
00:43:42,870 --> 00:43:46,328
He likes good old Charlie Kane

737
00:44:00,471 --> 00:44:03,178
Isn't it wonderful? Such a party.

738
00:44:03,266 --> 00:44:05,006
-Yes.
-What's the matter?

739
00:44:05,101 --> 00:44:07,433
-I Who says a miss
-Who says a miss

740
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,306
-Was made to kiss?
-Was made to kiss?

741
00:44:09,397 --> 00:44:12,389
I And when he meets one
Always tries to do exactly this J‘

742
00:44:12,483 --> 00:44:14,314
-Who buys the food?
-Who buys the food?

743
00:44:14,402 --> 00:44:15,892
-Who buys the drinks?
-Who buys the drinks?

744
00:44:15,987 --> 00:44:17,523
I Who thinks that dough
Was made to spend J‘

745
00:44:17,613 --> 00:44:19,103
I And acts the way he thinks? I

746
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:20,779
-That was a joke
-No, no, no

747
00:44:20,867 --> 00:44:22,027
No, no, no

748
00:44:22,118 --> 00:44:25,030
Bernstein, these men
who are now with the Inquirer

749
00:44:25,121 --> 00:44:26,861
who were with the Chronicle
until yesterday —

750
00:44:26,956 --> 00:44:28,196
Catch!

751
00:44:28,291 --> 00:44:30,657
-Oh, mama, please.
-Give me that.

752
00:44:30,751 --> 00:44:33,117
-What? The blond?
-No, the brunette.

753
00:44:33,212 --> 00:44:34,577
-Where'd you learn that, Charlie?
-Bernstein.

754
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:36,833
I'll bet you
you didn't learn it at the office!

755
00:44:36,924 --> 00:44:39,506
Bernstein, these men
who were with the Chronicle,

756
00:44:39,594 --> 00:44:42,836
weren't they just as devoted
to the Chronicle policies

757
00:44:42,930 --> 00:44:45,137
as they are now to our policies?

758
00:44:45,224 --> 00:44:47,886
Sure. They're just like anybody else.

759
00:44:47,977 --> 00:44:50,468
They got work to do, they do it.

760
00:44:50,563 --> 00:44:53,305
Only they happen to be
the best men in the business.

761
00:45:01,782 --> 00:45:05,821
Do we stand for the same things
the Chronicle stands for, Bernstein?

762
00:45:05,912 --> 00:45:07,652
Certainly not.

763
00:45:09,081 --> 00:45:13,996
Listen, Mr. Kane, he'll have them changed
to his kind of newspapermen in a week.

764
00:45:14,086 --> 00:45:18,705
There's always a chance, of course,
that they'll change Mr. Kane

765
00:45:18,799 --> 00:45:20,289
without his knowing it.

766
00:45:22,511 --> 00:45:25,093
Leland! Mr. Leland!

767
00:45:25,181 --> 00:45:27,388
I got a cable from Mr. Kane!

768
00:45:27,475 --> 00:45:29,591
Mr. Le... Mr. Leland!

769
00:45:29,685 --> 00:45:32,176
Mr. Leland, I got a cable here
from Mr. Kane.

770
00:45:32,271 --> 00:45:33,852
-What?
-From Paris, France.

771
00:45:33,940 --> 00:45:35,601
-What?
-Look! Paris! France!

772
00:45:35,691 --> 00:45:37,022
Come on in.

773
00:45:38,152 --> 00:45:39,642
I Who by his action I

774
00:45:39,737 --> 00:45:41,477
-J‘ Has the Traction magnates I
-Say, Mr. Leland, I...

775
00:45:41,572 --> 00:45:43,563
J‘ On the run I

776
00:45:43,658 --> 00:45:48,743
Good thing he promised
not to send back any more... statues.

777
00:45:48,829 --> 00:45:50,069
Bernstein, Bernstein.

778
00:45:50,164 --> 00:45:52,780
Look. He wants to buy
the world's biggest diamond.

779
00:45:52,875 --> 00:45:55,457
Mr. Leland, why didn't you go
to Europe with him?

780
00:45:55,544 --> 00:45:57,751
-He wanted you to.
-Oh, I wanted Charlie to have fun.

781
00:45:57,838 --> 00:45:59,294
With me along...

782
00:45:59,382 --> 00:46:01,589
Bernstein, am I a stuffed shirt?

783
00:46:01,676 --> 00:46:03,917
Am I a horse-faced hypocrite?

784
00:46:04,011 --> 00:46:06,297
Am I a New England schoolmarm?

785
00:46:07,223 --> 00:46:08,338
Yes.

786
00:46:09,809 --> 00:46:11,470
If you thought I'd answer you
any different

787
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,596
from what Mr. Kane tells you,
well, I wouldn't.

788
00:46:13,688 --> 00:46:16,020
All right, all right.
"World's biggest diamond."

789
00:46:16,107 --> 00:46:18,223
I didn't know
Charlie was collecting diamonds.

790
00:46:18,317 --> 00:46:19,523
He ain't.

791
00:46:19,610 --> 00:46:22,773
He's collecting somebody
that's collecting diamonds.

792
00:46:23,656 --> 00:46:26,693
Anyway, he ain't only collecting statues.

793
00:46:28,869 --> 00:46:30,985
"Welcome home, Mr. Kane,

794
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,789
from 467 employees
of the New York Inquirer."

795
00:46:34,875 --> 00:46:36,081
Here he comes!

796
00:46:42,425 --> 00:46:44,256
-I know I've got a mustache.
-Looks awful!

797
00:46:44,343 --> 00:46:46,755
Well, I know, but have you got a society —

798
00:46:46,846 --> 00:46:49,462
-Have we a society editor?
-Right here, Mr. Kane.

799
00:46:49,557 --> 00:46:51,047
Miss Townsend is the society editor.

800
00:46:51,142 --> 00:46:53,599
Miss Townsend,
this is Mr. Charles Foster Kane.

801
00:46:53,686 --> 00:46:55,893
Uh, uh, Miss Townsend,

802
00:46:55,980 --> 00:46:57,891
I have been away so long,

803
00:46:57,982 --> 00:47:00,018
I don't know your routine. I...

804
00:47:00,943 --> 00:47:04,026
I've got a little, uh,
social announcement.

805
00:47:04,113 --> 00:47:05,899
I wish you wouldn't treat it
any differently

806
00:47:05,990 --> 00:47:08,902
than you would any other...
social announcement.

807
00:47:08,993 --> 00:47:10,529
Uh, Mr. Kane.

808
00:47:10,619 --> 00:47:13,326
Mr. Kane, on behalf of
all the employees of the Inquirer —

809
00:47:13,414 --> 00:47:16,156
Mr. Bernstein, thank you
very much, everybody, I...

810
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,291
I'm sorry, I...

811
00:47:20,338 --> 00:47:22,124
I can't accept it now.

812
00:47:22,214 --> 00:47:23,374
Goodbye.

813
00:47:24,342 --> 00:47:26,549
Say, he was in an awful hurry.

814
00:47:26,635 --> 00:47:29,718
Hey! Hey, everybody, looky out here.

815
00:47:29,805 --> 00:47:31,887
-Let's go to the window.
-"Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Monroe Norton —"

816
00:47:31,974 --> 00:47:33,965
Mr. Leland! Mr. Bernstein!

817
00:47:34,060 --> 00:47:35,971
-Yes, Miss Townsend?
-This-This announcement.

818
00:47:36,062 --> 00:47:37,768
"Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Monroe Norton

819
00:47:37,855 --> 00:47:40,471
announce the engagement of their daughter
Emily Monroe Norton

820
00:47:40,566 --> 00:47:42,557
to Mr. Charles Foster Kane."

821
00:47:42,651 --> 00:47:44,391
-Huh?
-Come on.

822
00:47:46,697 --> 00:47:49,063
Emily Monroe Norton.

823
00:47:49,158 --> 00:47:52,116
She's the niece of the president
of the United States.

824
00:47:52,203 --> 00:47:54,194
President's niece, huh?

825
00:47:54,288 --> 00:47:57,121
Before he's through,
she'll be a president's wife.

826
00:48:05,883 --> 00:48:09,375
The way things turned out,
I don't need to tell you,

827
00:48:09,470 --> 00:48:12,337
Miss Emily Norton was no Rosebud.

828
00:48:12,431 --> 00:48:14,672
It didn't end very well, did it?

829
00:48:14,767 --> 00:48:15,973
It ended.

830
00:48:17,228 --> 00:48:18,638
Then there was Susie.

831
00:48:19,772 --> 00:48:21,012
That ended too.

832
00:48:23,067 --> 00:48:26,355
You know, Mr. Thompson, I was thinking,

833
00:48:26,445 --> 00:48:29,528
this Rosebud you're trying
to find out about...

834
00:48:30,658 --> 00:48:31,864
Yes?

835
00:48:36,539 --> 00:48:38,700
Maybe that was something he lost.

836
00:48:39,542 --> 00:48:43,455
Mr. Kane was a man who lost
almost everything he had.

837
00:48:43,546 --> 00:48:45,628
You ought to see Jed Leland.

838
00:48:45,714 --> 00:48:49,206
Of course, he and Mr. Kane
didn't exactly see eye to eye.

839
00:48:49,301 --> 00:48:51,292
You take the Spanish-American war.

840
00:48:51,387 --> 00:48:54,720
I guess Mr. Leland was right.
That was Mr. Kane's war.

841
00:48:54,807 --> 00:48:57,423
We didn't really have
anything to fight about.

842
00:48:58,519 --> 00:49:02,353
But do you think if it hadn't been
for that war of Mr. Kane's,

843
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,431
we'd have the Panama Canal?

844
00:49:05,734 --> 00:49:08,771
I wish I knew where Mr. Leland was.

845
00:49:08,863 --> 00:49:12,105
A lot of the time now
they don't tell me these things.

846
00:49:13,367 --> 00:49:15,153
Maybe even he's dead.

847
00:49:15,244 --> 00:49:17,109
In case you'd like to know, Mr. Bernstein,

848
00:49:17,204 --> 00:49:19,616
he's at the Huntington Memorial Hospital
on 180th Street.

849
00:49:19,707 --> 00:49:21,698
Why, you don't say. I had no idea —

850
00:49:21,792 --> 00:49:24,579
Nothing particular the matter
with him, they tell me. Just...

851
00:49:24,670 --> 00:49:27,377
Just... old age.

852
00:49:28,591 --> 00:49:31,207
It's the only disease, Mr. Thompson,

853
00:49:31,302 --> 00:49:34,009
that you don't look fonrvard
to being cured of.

854
00:49:45,691 --> 00:49:48,478
I can remember absolutely
everything, young man.

855
00:49:48,569 --> 00:49:50,105
That's my curse.

856
00:49:50,196 --> 00:49:54,781
That's one of the greatest curses
ever inflicted on the human race, memory.

857
00:49:55,493 --> 00:49:57,199
I was his oldest friend,

858
00:49:57,286 --> 00:50:00,574
and as far as I was concerned
he behaved like a swine.

859
00:50:00,664 --> 00:50:02,780
Not that Charlie was ever brutal.

860
00:50:02,875 --> 00:50:04,786
He just did brutal things.

861
00:50:04,877 --> 00:50:08,665
Maybe I wasn't his friend,
but if! wasn't, he never had one.

862
00:50:10,049 --> 00:50:13,758
Maybe I was, uh, what you
nowadays would call a — a stooge.

863
00:50:13,844 --> 00:50:16,130
Mr. Leland, you were going to say
something about Rosebu —

864
00:50:16,222 --> 00:50:18,213
You don't happen
to have a good cigar, do you?

865
00:50:18,307 --> 00:50:22,266
I've got a young physician here
who thinks I'm gonna give up smoking.

866
00:50:22,353 --> 00:50:24,969
-No, I'm afraid I haven't. Sorry.
-Oh, oh.

867
00:50:25,064 --> 00:50:26,520
I changed the subject, didn't I?

868
00:50:26,607 --> 00:50:29,189
What a disagreeable old man I have become.

869
00:50:29,276 --> 00:50:31,608
You're a reporter.

870
00:50:31,695 --> 00:50:35,279
You want to know what I think
about Charlie Kane.

871
00:50:35,991 --> 00:50:37,527
Well...

872
00:50:38,577 --> 00:50:40,989
I suppose he had some
private sort of greatness,

873
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:42,911
but he kept it to himself.

874
00:50:42,998 --> 00:50:45,910
He never gave himself away.
He never gave anything away.

875
00:50:46,001 --> 00:50:48,993
He just, uh... left you a tip.

876
00:50:49,088 --> 00:50:51,795
Hmm?
He had a generous mind.

877
00:50:51,882 --> 00:50:55,340
I don't suppose anybody
ever had so many opinions.

878
00:50:55,427 --> 00:50:58,089
But he never believed in anything
except Charlie Kane.

879
00:50:58,180 --> 00:51:01,718
He never had a conviction
except Charlie Kane in his life.

880
00:51:01,809 --> 00:51:04,141
I suppose he died without one.

881
00:51:04,228 --> 00:51:06,844
That must have been pretty unpleasant.

882
00:51:06,939 --> 00:51:09,396
Of course, a lot of us check out

883
00:51:09,483 --> 00:51:11,769
without having any special
convictions about death.

884
00:51:11,860 --> 00:51:14,977
But we do know what we're leaving.
We do believe in something.

885
00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:19,198
Are you absolutely sure
you haven't got a cigar?

886
00:51:19,285 --> 00:51:20,821
-Sorry, Mr. Leland.
-Oh, never mind.

887
00:51:20,911 --> 00:51:23,323
Mr. Leland, what do you know
about Rosebud?

888
00:51:23,414 --> 00:51:24,745
Rosebud?

889
00:51:24,832 --> 00:51:29,326
Oh. Oh. His, uh, dying words. "Rosebud."

890
00:51:29,420 --> 00:51:31,456
Yeah, I saw that in the Inquirer.

891
00:51:32,464 --> 00:51:35,501
Well, I never believed anything
I saw in the Inquirer.

892
00:51:35,593 --> 00:51:38,380
Anything else? I can tell you about Emily.

893
00:51:38,470 --> 00:51:41,052
I went to dancing school with Emily.

894
00:51:41,140 --> 00:51:43,131
I was very graceful.

895
00:51:43,851 --> 00:51:46,342
Uh, we were talking about
the first Mrs. Kane.

896
00:51:46,437 --> 00:51:47,722
What was she like?

897
00:51:47,813 --> 00:51:49,849
She was like all the girls
I knew in dancing school.

898
00:51:49,940 --> 00:51:52,898
Very nice girl. Very nice —
Family was a little nicer.

899
00:51:54,528 --> 00:51:56,519
Well, after the first couple of months,

900
00:51:56,614 --> 00:51:59,026
she and Charlie
didn't see much of each other

901
00:51:59,116 --> 00:52:00,697
except at breakfast.

902
00:52:01,493 --> 00:52:04,530
It was a marriage
just like any other marriage.

903
00:52:14,423 --> 00:52:16,288
-You're beautiful.
-Oh, I can't be.

904
00:52:16,383 --> 00:52:17,839
Yes, you are. You're very, very beautiful.

905
00:52:19,803 --> 00:52:21,259
Extremely beautiful.

906
00:52:21,347 --> 00:52:23,554
-I've never been up this late.
-lt's just a matter of habit.

907
00:52:23,641 --> 00:52:24,801
I wonder what the servants will think.

908
00:52:24,892 --> 00:52:26,974
They'll think we enjoyed ourselves.
Didn't we?

909
00:52:27,061 --> 00:52:29,177
I don't see why you have to go
straight off to the newspaper.

910
00:52:29,271 --> 00:52:30,852
You never should have
married a newspaperman.

911
00:52:30,939 --> 00:52:32,475
They're worse than sailors.

912
00:52:34,193 --> 00:52:36,058
I absolutely adore you.

913
00:52:36,153 --> 00:52:40,271
Oh, Charles, even newspapermen
have to sleep.

914
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,067
I'll call Mr. Bernstein, have him
put off my appointments until noon.

915
00:52:45,829 --> 00:52:49,367
-What time is it?
-Oh, I don't know. It's late.

916
00:52:51,669 --> 00:52:53,625
It's early.

917
00:52:53,712 --> 00:52:54,918
Charles.

918
00:52:56,131 --> 00:52:59,294
Do you know how long
you kept me waiting last night

919
00:52:59,385 --> 00:53:01,967
while you went to the newspaper
for ten minutes?

920
00:53:02,054 --> 00:53:05,342
What do you do on a newspaper
in the middle of the night?

921
00:53:05,432 --> 00:53:06,842
Emily, my dear...

922
00:53:07,851 --> 00:53:10,558
your only correspondent is the Inquirer.

923
00:53:10,646 --> 00:53:13,308
Sometimes I think I'd prefer
a rival of flesh and blood.

924
00:53:13,399 --> 00:53:15,765
Oh, Emily, I don't spend
that much time on the newspaper.

925
00:53:15,859 --> 00:53:18,817
It isn't just the time.
It's what you print.

926
00:53:18,904 --> 00:53:21,395
-Attacking the president.
-You mean Uncle John.

927
00:53:21,490 --> 00:53:23,355
I mean, the president
of the United States.

928
00:53:23,450 --> 00:53:26,192
He's still Uncle John
and he's still a well-meaning fathead

929
00:53:26,286 --> 00:53:29,198
who's letting a pack of high-pressure
crooks run his administration.

930
00:53:29,289 --> 00:53:30,529
This whole oil scandal —

931
00:53:30,624 --> 00:53:33,331
He happens to be the president,
Charles, not you.

932
00:53:33,419 --> 00:53:36,126
That's a mistake that will be corrected
one of these days.

933
00:53:36,213 --> 00:53:38,204
Your Mr. Bernstein sent Junior

934
00:53:38,298 --> 00:53:42,462
the most incredible atrocity
yesterday, Charles.

935
00:53:42,553 --> 00:53:44,919
I simply can't have it in the nursery.

936
00:53:47,391 --> 00:53:50,303
Mr. Bernstein is apt to pay a visit
to the nursery now and then.

937
00:53:50,394 --> 00:53:51,975
Does he have to?

938
00:53:53,230 --> 00:53:54,345
Yes.

939
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,056
Really, Charles, people will think —

940
00:53:57,151 --> 00:53:59,142
What I tell them to think.

941
00:54:17,796 --> 00:54:19,832
Wasn't he ever
in love with her?

942
00:54:19,923 --> 00:54:21,288
He married for love.

943
00:54:22,634 --> 00:54:23,714
Love.

944
00:54:24,803 --> 00:54:27,670
That is why he did everything.
That's why he went into politics.

945
00:54:27,765 --> 00:54:32,054
It seems we weren't enough.
He wanted all the voters to love him too.

946
00:54:33,312 --> 00:54:36,429
That's all he really wanted
out of life was love.

947
00:54:36,523 --> 00:54:39,185
That's Charlie's story. How he lost it.

948
00:54:40,110 --> 00:54:43,352
You see, he just didn't have any to give.

949
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,946
Oh, he loved Charlie Kane, of course.

950
00:54:47,034 --> 00:54:48,865
Very dearly.

951
00:54:49,995 --> 00:54:51,951
And his mother,
I guess he always loved her.

952
00:54:52,039 --> 00:54:55,827
-How about his second wife?
-Susan Alexander?

953
00:54:55,918 --> 00:54:58,159
You know what Charlie called her?

954
00:54:58,253 --> 00:55:00,869
The day after he'd met her,
he told me about her.

955
00:55:00,964 --> 00:55:02,875
He said, uh...

956
00:55:02,966 --> 00:55:06,049
"She was a cross-section
of the American public."

957
00:55:08,222 --> 00:55:11,214
I guess he couldn't help it.
She must have had something for him.

958
00:55:12,100 --> 00:55:15,092
Well, that first night,
according to Charlie,

959
00:55:15,938 --> 00:55:18,475
all she had was a toothache.

960
00:55:49,513 --> 00:55:51,504
What are you laughing at, young lady?

961
00:55:52,474 --> 00:55:53,589
Ooh.

962
00:55:53,684 --> 00:55:56,551
-What is the matter with you, young lady?
-I have a toothache.

963
00:55:56,645 --> 00:55:58,351
-What?
-I have a toothache.

964
00:55:58,438 --> 00:55:59,473
Toothache?

965
00:56:01,066 --> 00:56:03,022
Oh. Oh.

966
00:56:03,110 --> 00:56:04,691
You mean, you've got a toothache.

967
00:56:06,655 --> 00:56:09,271
-What's funny about that?
-You're funny, mister.

968
00:56:09,366 --> 00:56:11,527
-You got dirt on your face.
-It's not dirt, it's mud.

969
00:56:11,618 --> 00:56:14,075
Do you want some hot water?
I live right here.

970
00:56:14,162 --> 00:56:15,823
What's that, young lady?

971
00:56:17,416 --> 00:56:21,250
I said if you wanted some hot water,
I could get you some...

972
00:56:23,338 --> 00:56:24,544
hot water.

973
00:56:27,926 --> 00:56:29,882
All right, thank you very much.

974
00:56:41,481 --> 00:56:43,642
Ow!

975
00:56:44,526 --> 00:56:46,437
-Ah!
-Do I look any better now?

976
00:56:46,528 --> 00:56:48,564
This medicine
doesn't do a bit of good.

977
00:56:48,655 --> 00:56:50,862
What you need
is to get your mind off it.

978
00:56:51,658 --> 00:56:52,864
Hey.

979
00:56:56,496 --> 00:56:58,703
Excuse me, but my landlady prefers me

980
00:56:58,790 --> 00:57:01,577
to keep this door open
when l have a gentleman caller.

981
00:57:01,668 --> 00:57:03,078
All right.

982
00:57:03,170 --> 00:57:06,207
-You have got a toothache, haven't you?
-I surely have.

983
00:57:06,298 --> 00:57:08,505
Hey, why don't you try
laughing at me again?

984
00:57:08,592 --> 00:57:10,173
-What?
-l'm still pretty funny.

985
00:57:10,260 --> 00:57:12,751
I know, but you don't want me
to laugh at you.

986
00:57:12,846 --> 00:57:15,053
-I don't want your tooth to hurt either.
-Ooh.

987
00:57:15,140 --> 00:57:16,721
Look at me.

988
00:57:16,808 --> 00:57:18,969
-See that?
-What are you doing?

989
00:57:19,061 --> 00:57:22,269
I'm wiggling both my ears
at the same time. See?

990
00:57:24,024 --> 00:57:25,104
That's it. Smile.

991
00:57:28,487 --> 00:57:30,318
It took me two solid years

992
00:57:30,405 --> 00:57:32,566
in the best boys' school in the world
to learn that trick.

993
00:57:32,658 --> 00:57:34,865
Fellow who taught it to me
is now the president of Venezuela.

994
00:57:37,621 --> 00:57:38,906
That's it!

995
00:57:42,876 --> 00:57:45,492
-Oh, is it a giraffe?
-No, it's not a giraffe.

996
00:57:45,587 --> 00:57:48,420
-Oh, I bet it is.
-What?

997
00:57:48,507 --> 00:57:50,623
Well, then it's an elephant.

998
00:57:50,717 --> 00:57:52,833
It's supposed to be a rooster.

999
00:57:52,928 --> 00:57:54,919
Not a rooster!

1000
00:57:55,013 --> 00:57:57,220
-Gee, you know an awful lot of tricks.
-Mm-hmm.

1001
00:57:57,307 --> 00:57:58,888
You're not a professional magician,
are you?

1002
00:57:58,976 --> 00:58:00,341
No, I'm not a magician.

1003
00:58:00,435 --> 00:58:01,800
Oh, I was just joking.

1004
00:58:01,895 --> 00:58:03,260
You really don't know who I am?

1005
00:58:03,355 --> 00:58:06,267
Well, you told me your name, Mr. Kane,
but I'm awful ignorant.

1006
00:58:06,358 --> 00:58:07,939
But I guess you caught on to that.

1007
00:58:08,026 --> 00:58:11,109
You know, I bet it turns out
I've heard your name a million times.

1008
00:58:11,196 --> 00:58:14,188
You really like me though,
even though you don't know who I am?

1009
00:58:14,282 --> 00:58:15,692
Oh, I surely do.

1010
00:58:15,784 --> 00:58:18,025
-You've been wonderful.
-Oh, that's nice of you.

1011
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:21,578
Well, gee, without you,
I don't know what I'd have done.

1012
00:58:21,665 --> 00:58:25,283
I had a toothache,
and I don't know many people.

1013
00:58:25,377 --> 00:58:26,867
I know too many people.

1014
00:58:27,713 --> 00:58:29,123
I guess we're both lonely.

1015
00:58:30,132 --> 00:58:32,123
Hey, you wanna know
what I was gonna do tonight

1016
00:58:32,217 --> 00:58:33,798
before I ruined my best Sunday clothes?

1017
00:58:33,885 --> 00:58:35,921
Oh, I bet they're not
your best Sunday clothes.

1018
00:58:36,013 --> 00:58:38,550
-You probably got a lot of clothes.
-I was just joking.

1019
00:58:40,308 --> 00:58:44,096
l was on my way to
the Western Manhattan Warehouse

1020
00:58:44,187 --> 00:58:45,927
in search of my youth.

1021
00:58:47,482 --> 00:58:50,349
You see, my mother died a long time ago

1022
00:58:50,444 --> 00:58:52,230
and her things were put
in storage out west.

1023
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,026
There wasn't any other place to put 'em.

1024
00:58:54,823 --> 00:58:57,906
I thought I'd send for them now.
Tonight I was gonna take a look at them.

1025
00:58:58,869 --> 00:59:00,575
You know, a sort of sentimental journey.

1026
00:59:04,791 --> 00:59:06,747
I run a couple of newspapers.
What do you do?

1027
00:59:06,835 --> 00:59:08,496
-Me?
-Mm-hmm.

1028
00:59:08,587 --> 00:59:10,578
-How old did you say you were?
-Oh, I didn't say.

1029
00:59:10,672 --> 00:59:12,628
I didn't think you did. If you had,
I wouldn't have asked you

1030
00:59:12,716 --> 00:59:14,081
'cause I would have remembered.
How old?

1031
00:59:14,176 --> 00:59:15,882
-Pretty old.
-How old?

1032
00:59:15,969 --> 00:59:18,881
-Twenty-two in August.
-That's a ripe old age. What do you do?

1033
00:59:18,972 --> 00:59:22,635
Well, I work at Seigelman's.
I'm in charge of the sheet music there.

1034
00:59:22,726 --> 00:59:24,842
In charge of the —
Is that what you wanna do?

1035
00:59:24,936 --> 00:59:27,973
No, I wanted to be a singer, I guess.

1036
00:59:28,065 --> 00:59:31,649
-That is, I didn't. My mother did for me.
-What happened to the singing?

1037
00:59:31,735 --> 00:59:33,396
Well, Mother always thought...

1038
00:59:33,487 --> 00:59:37,230
She always talked about
grand opera for me. Imagine.

1039
00:59:37,324 --> 00:59:39,815
But my voice isn't that kind. It's just —

1040
00:59:39,910 --> 00:59:41,571
Well, you know what mothers are like.

1041
00:59:43,330 --> 00:59:44,740
Yes, I know.

1042
00:59:46,208 --> 00:59:47,414
Have you got a piano?

1043
00:59:48,043 --> 00:59:50,159
-A piano?
-Mm-hmm.

1044
00:59:50,253 --> 00:59:51,993
Yes, there's one in the parlor.

1045
00:59:52,089 --> 00:59:53,420
Would you sing for me?

1046
00:59:53,507 --> 00:59:55,247
Oh, you wouldn't want to hear me sing.

1047
00:59:55,342 --> 00:59:56,832
Yes, I would.

1048
00:59:57,677 --> 00:59:58,792
Well, I...

1049
00:59:58,887 --> 01:00:00,798
Don't tell me your toothache
is still bothering you.

1050
01:00:00,889 --> 01:00:02,379
Oh, no, that's all gone.

1051
01:00:04,351 --> 01:00:05,386
All right.

1052
01:00:07,354 --> 01:00:08,969
Let's go to the parlor.

1053
01:00:09,064 --> 01:00:14,730
Yes, Lindor shall be mine

1054
01:00:16,238 --> 01:00:18,945
I have sworn it

1055
01:00:20,659 --> 01:00:25,574
For weal or woe

1056
01:00:25,664 --> 01:00:29,452
Yes, Lindor

1057
01:00:52,190 --> 01:00:54,806
There is only one man
who can rid the politics of this state

1058
01:00:54,901 --> 01:00:57,017
of the evil domination of Boss Jim Gettys.

1059
01:00:57,112 --> 01:00:58,101
Hooray!

1060
01:00:58,196 --> 01:01:00,608
-I am speaking of Charles Foster Kane...
-Shh. Shh.

1061
01:01:00,699 --> 01:01:03,691
...the fighting liberal,
the friend of the working man,

1062
01:01:03,785 --> 01:01:07,653
the next governor of this state,
who entered upon this campaign...

1063
01:01:07,747 --> 01:01:09,612
...with one purpose only —

1064
01:01:09,708 --> 01:01:12,620
to point out and make public

1065
01:01:12,711 --> 01:01:15,828
the dishonesty, the downright villainy

1066
01:01:15,922 --> 01:01:19,085
of Boss Jim W. Gettys' political machine

1067
01:01:19,176 --> 01:01:24,091
now in complete control
of the government of this state.

1068
01:01:24,181 --> 01:01:28,390
I made no campaign promises

1069
01:01:28,476 --> 01:01:33,266
because until a few weeks ago
I had no hope of being elected.

1070
01:01:34,774 --> 01:01:38,141
Now, however, I have
something more than a hope.

1071
01:01:40,363 --> 01:01:44,823
And Jim Gettys — Jim Gettys
has something less than a chance.

1072
01:01:49,122 --> 01:01:51,113
Every straw vote,

1073
01:01:51,208 --> 01:01:53,745
every independent poll

1074
01:01:53,835 --> 01:01:55,746
shows that I'll be elected.

1075
01:01:56,546 --> 01:01:58,286
Very well then.

1076
01:01:58,381 --> 01:02:01,088
Now I can afford to make some promises.

1077
01:02:09,893 --> 01:02:11,258
The working man —

1078
01:02:11,353 --> 01:02:15,187
The working man and the slum child

1079
01:02:15,273 --> 01:02:18,140
know they can expect
my best efforts in their interests.

1080
01:02:18,860 --> 01:02:21,943
The decent, ordinary citizens know

1081
01:02:22,030 --> 01:02:25,488
that I'll do everything in my power
to protect the underprivileged,

1082
01:02:25,575 --> 01:02:29,033
the underpaid, and the underfed.

1083
01:02:32,499 --> 01:02:35,582
Mother, is Pop governor yet?

1084
01:02:35,669 --> 01:02:37,125
Not yet, Junior.

1085
01:02:38,713 --> 01:02:43,707
Well, I'd make my promises now...

1086
01:02:44,594 --> 01:02:46,960
if I weren't too busy
arranging to keep them.

1087
01:02:52,811 --> 01:02:55,553
But here's one promise I'll make,

1088
01:02:55,647 --> 01:02:58,889
and Boss Jim Gettys knows I'll keep it.

1089
01:03:00,026 --> 01:03:03,234
My first official act
as governor of this state

1090
01:03:03,321 --> 01:03:05,983
will be to appoint
a special district attorney

1091
01:03:06,074 --> 01:03:08,235
to arrange for the indictment,

1092
01:03:08,326 --> 01:03:11,193
prosecution and conviction

1093
01:03:11,288 --> 01:03:13,620
of Boss Jim W. Gettys.

1094
01:03:33,310 --> 01:03:36,302
Hello, Bill. Oh, thank you.

1095
01:03:38,481 --> 01:03:40,267
Great speech, Mr. Kane!

1096
01:03:40,358 --> 01:03:43,316
If the election were held today,
you'd be in by 100,000 votes.

1097
01:03:43,403 --> 01:03:45,018
-Jim Gettys isn't even pretending.
-Hello, Pop!

1098
01:03:45,113 --> 01:03:47,479
-Hello, son. How are you?
-He's not just scared, he's sick.

1099
01:03:47,574 --> 01:03:50,156
I think it's beginning to dawn
on Jim Gettys I mean what I say.

1100
01:03:50,243 --> 01:03:51,653
Did you like your old man's speech?

1101
01:03:51,745 --> 01:03:53,906
I was in a box, Daddy.
I could hear every word.

1102
01:03:53,997 --> 01:03:55,953
-I saw you. Hello, Emily.
-Hold it.

1103
01:03:56,041 --> 01:03:58,498
-Great speech, Mr. Kane.
-Wonderful. Wonderful.

1104
01:03:58,585 --> 01:04:00,121
-Will you get us a taxi, please?
-Yes, Mrs. Kane.

1105
01:04:00,211 --> 01:04:02,918
A taxi? Why? I thought we —

1106
01:04:03,006 --> 01:04:05,873
I'm sending Junior home
in the car, Charles, with Oliver.

1107
01:04:05,967 --> 01:04:07,548
Good night, Father.

1108
01:04:08,970 --> 01:04:10,460
Goodbye, son.

1109
01:04:16,394 --> 01:04:17,474
Emily.

1110
01:04:21,316 --> 01:04:23,477
Why did you send Junior home
in the car, Emily?

1111
01:04:23,568 --> 01:04:24,728
What are you doing in a taxi?

1112
01:04:24,819 --> 01:04:26,810
There's a call I want you
to make with me, Charles.

1113
01:04:26,905 --> 01:04:28,896
-It can wait.
-No, it can't.

1114
01:04:28,990 --> 01:04:30,196
What's this all about, Emily?

1115
01:04:30,909 --> 01:04:34,072
It may not be about anything at all.
I intend to find out.

1116
01:04:34,162 --> 01:04:35,277
Where are you going?

1117
01:04:35,372 --> 01:04:38,660
I'm going to 185 West 74th Street.

1118
01:04:39,959 --> 01:04:41,950
If you wish, you may come with me.

1119
01:04:47,050 --> 01:04:48,381
I'll come with you.

1120
01:04:53,681 --> 01:04:56,514
I had no idea you had this flair
for melodrama, Emily.

1121
01:04:58,812 --> 01:05:00,427
Come right in, Mr. Kane.

1122
01:05:11,324 --> 01:05:12,404
Charlie.

1123
01:05:19,249 --> 01:05:21,535
Charlie, he forced me
to send your wife the letter.

1124
01:05:21,626 --> 01:05:24,288
I didn't want to. He's been
saying the most terrible...

1125
01:05:29,592 --> 01:05:30,752
Mrs. Kane.

1126
01:05:33,304 --> 01:05:35,386
I don't suppose
anybody would introduce us.

1127
01:05:37,350 --> 01:05:38,635
I'm Jim Gettys.

1128
01:05:39,602 --> 01:05:40,637
Yes?

1129
01:05:43,940 --> 01:05:47,774
I made Miss, uh, Miss Alexander
send you the note, Mrs. Kane.

1130
01:05:47,861 --> 01:05:49,726
She didn't want to at first,
but she did it.

1131
01:05:49,821 --> 01:05:51,482
Charlie, the things he said to me.
He threatened to —

1132
01:05:51,573 --> 01:05:52,653
Gettys!

1133
01:05:53,992 --> 01:05:56,358
I don't think I will postpone doing
something about you until I'm elected.

1134
01:05:56,453 --> 01:05:57,738
To start with,
I think I'll break your neck.

1135
01:05:57,829 --> 01:06:00,536
Maybe you can do it,
maybe you can't, Mr. Kane.

1136
01:06:00,623 --> 01:06:06,243
Charles, your breaking this man's neck
would scarcely explain... this note.

1137
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,543
"Serious consequences for Mr. Kane,
for yourself and for your son."

1138
01:06:10,633 --> 01:06:13,591
-He just wanted to get her to come here —
-What does this note mean, Miss...

1139
01:06:13,678 --> 01:06:16,636
I'm Susan Alexander.
I know what you think, Mrs. Kane.

1140
01:06:16,723 --> 01:06:19,214
-What does this note mean, Miss Alexander?
-She don't know, Mrs. Kane.

1141
01:06:19,309 --> 01:06:21,846
She just sent it because I made her see
it wouldn't be smart not to send it.

1142
01:06:21,936 --> 01:06:24,769
-In case you don't know, this gentleman —
-I'm not a gentleman.

1143
01:06:25,899 --> 01:06:28,561
Your husband's only trying to be funny
calling me one.

1144
01:06:28,651 --> 01:06:30,892
I don't even know what a gentleman is.

1145
01:06:32,489 --> 01:06:35,322
You see, my idea of a gentleman...

1146
01:06:38,828 --> 01:06:40,534
Well, Mrs. Kane, ifl owned a newspaper

1147
01:06:40,622 --> 01:06:42,988
and I didn't like the way somebody
was doing things, some politician, say,

1148
01:06:43,082 --> 01:06:44,572
I'd fight him with everything I had.

1149
01:06:44,667 --> 01:06:46,828
Only I wouldn't show him
in a convict suit with stripes

1150
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,252
so his children could see
the picture in the paper or his mother.

1151
01:06:49,339 --> 01:06:52,206
-You're a cheap, crooked grafter —
-We're talking now about what you are.

1152
01:06:54,135 --> 01:06:57,002
Mrs. Kane, I'm fighting for my life.
Not just my political life, my life.

1153
01:06:57,096 --> 01:06:58,802
-Charlie, he said unless you —
-That's what I said.

1154
01:06:58,890 --> 01:07:02,132
Here's the chance I'm willing to give him.
More of a chance than he'd give me.

1155
01:07:03,144 --> 01:07:04,884
Unless Mr. Kane makes up
his mind by tomorrow

1156
01:07:04,979 --> 01:07:07,721
that he's so sick he has to go away
for a year or two,

1157
01:07:07,815 --> 01:07:10,056
Monday morning every paper in this state,
except his,

1158
01:07:10,151 --> 01:07:12,392
will carry the story I'm gonna give 'em.

1159
01:07:12,487 --> 01:07:13,818
What story?

1160
01:07:14,948 --> 01:07:16,984
The story about him
and Miss Alexander, Mrs. Kane.

1161
01:07:17,075 --> 01:07:18,986
-There isn't any story —
-Shut up.

1162
01:07:19,077 --> 01:07:20,157
Mr. Kane was just —

1163
01:07:20,245 --> 01:07:22,156
We've got evidence
that'll look bad in the headlines.

1164
01:07:22,247 --> 01:07:24,238
Do you want me to give her
the evidence, Mr. Kane?

1165
01:07:27,377 --> 01:07:29,618
I'd rather Mr. Kane withdrew
without having to get the story published.

1166
01:07:29,712 --> 01:07:31,543
Not that I care about him,
but I'd be better off that way.

1167
01:07:31,631 --> 01:07:32,837
Well, what about —

1168
01:07:36,135 --> 01:07:37,921
So would you, Mrs. Kane.

1169
01:07:38,721 --> 01:07:40,131
What about me?

1170
01:07:42,725 --> 01:07:45,216
Charlie, he said my name
would be dragged through the mud,

1171
01:07:45,311 --> 01:07:46,972
that everywhere I went from now on —

1172
01:07:47,063 --> 01:07:49,850
There seems to be only one decision
you can make, Charles.

1173
01:07:49,941 --> 01:07:52,102
I'd say it'd been made for you.

1174
01:07:54,070 --> 01:07:56,231
You can't tell me
the voters of this state —

1175
01:07:56,322 --> 01:07:58,688
I'm not interested in the voters
of this state right now.

1176
01:07:58,783 --> 01:08:00,444
I'm interested in our son.

1177
01:08:00,535 --> 01:08:03,242
-If they publish the story, it'll be all —
-They won't.

1178
01:08:05,164 --> 01:08:06,779
Good night, Mr. Gettys.

1179
01:08:16,175 --> 01:08:17,836
Are you coming, Charles?

1180
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:21,669
No.

1181
01:08:25,226 --> 01:08:26,557
I'm staying here.

1182
01:08:29,689 --> 01:08:32,226
-I can fight this all alone.
-Charles.

1183
01:08:33,318 --> 01:08:35,855
If you don't listen to reason,
it may be too late.

1184
01:08:35,945 --> 01:08:37,151
Too late?

1185
01:08:39,365 --> 01:08:40,480
For what?

1186
01:08:41,868 --> 01:08:45,486
For you and this... public thief

1187
01:08:45,580 --> 01:08:48,117
to take the love of the people
of this state away from me?

1188
01:08:48,207 --> 01:08:50,698
Charlie, you got other things
to think about.

1189
01:08:50,793 --> 01:08:53,705
Your little boy. You don't want him
to read about you in the papers.

1190
01:08:53,796 --> 01:08:57,380
There's only one person in the world
to decide what I'm gonna do and that's me.

1191
01:09:00,887 --> 01:09:04,880
You decided what you were going
to do, Charles, some time ago.

1192
01:09:11,856 --> 01:09:14,347
You're making a bigger fool of yourself
than I thought you would, Mr. Kane.

1193
01:09:14,442 --> 01:09:16,603
-I've got nothing to talk to you about.
-You're licked. Why don't you —

1194
01:09:16,694 --> 01:09:19,527
Get out. If you wanna see me,
have the warden write me a letter.

1195
01:09:20,490 --> 01:09:22,572
If it was anybody else,
I'd say what's gonna happen to you

1196
01:09:22,659 --> 01:09:24,320
would be a lesson to you.

1197
01:09:25,328 --> 01:09:27,364
Only you're gonna need
more than one lesson.

1198
01:09:28,998 --> 01:09:30,704
And you're gonna get more than one lesson.

1199
01:09:30,792 --> 01:09:32,453
Don't worry about me, Gettys.

1200
01:09:34,671 --> 01:09:36,332
Don't worry about me!

1201
01:09:37,632 --> 01:09:40,669
I'm Charles Foster Kane!

1202
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:43,467
I'm no cheap, crooked politician

1203
01:09:43,554 --> 01:09:48,173
trying to save himself
from the consequences of his crimes!

1204
01:09:49,185 --> 01:09:53,098
Gettys! I'm gonna send you to Sing Sing!

1205
01:09:53,189 --> 01:09:56,556
Sing Sing, Gettys! Sing Si —

1206
01:09:58,695 --> 01:10:00,651
Have you a car, Mrs. Kane?

1207
01:10:00,738 --> 01:10:02,274
Yes, thank you.

1208
01:10:02,365 --> 01:10:04,481
-Good night.
-Good night.

1209
01:10:13,042 --> 01:10:15,533
Hey, all, read all about it!
Hey, all!

1210
01:10:15,628 --> 01:10:18,711
Extra! Paper!
Read all about the Kane scandal!

1211
01:10:18,798 --> 01:10:20,413
Extra! Paper!

1212
01:10:20,508 --> 01:10:23,250
"Candidate Kane caught
in love nest with 'singer."'

1213
01:10:23,344 --> 01:10:26,336
-Paper, mister? Paper?
-No, thanks.

1214
01:10:41,529 --> 01:10:44,362
With a million majority
already against him

1215
01:10:44,449 --> 01:10:46,986
and the church counties
still to be heard from...

1216
01:10:48,119 --> 01:10:50,576
I'm afraid we got no choice.

1217
01:10:50,663 --> 01:10:51,994
This one?

1218
01:10:55,376 --> 01:10:56,456
That one.

1219
01:11:18,733 --> 01:11:21,770
Well, good night again.

1220
01:11:33,456 --> 01:11:36,948
-Is there anything I —
-No, thanks, Mr. Bernstein.

1221
01:11:38,669 --> 01:11:40,660
Better go home and get some sleep.

1222
01:11:42,048 --> 01:11:43,254
You too.

1223
01:11:44,258 --> 01:11:45,748
Mm-hmm.

1224
01:11:45,843 --> 01:11:47,253
Good night, Mr. Kane.

1225
01:12:12,829 --> 01:12:15,445
-Hello, Jedediah.
-I'm drunk.

1226
01:12:18,584 --> 01:12:24,204
Well, if you've... got drunk to...
talk to me about...

1227
01:12:26,759 --> 01:12:28,715
Miss Alexander, don't bother.

1228
01:12:31,055 --> 01:12:32,465
I'm not interested.

1229
01:12:37,144 --> 01:12:40,932
I've set back the sacred cause of reform.
Is that it?

1230
01:12:42,608 --> 01:12:43,688
All right.

1231
01:12:45,695 --> 01:12:48,937
If that's the way they want it,
the people have made their choice.

1232
01:12:49,031 --> 01:12:51,738
It's obvious the people
prefer Jim Gettys to me.

1233
01:12:51,826 --> 01:12:55,569
You talk about the people
as though you own them,

1234
01:12:55,663 --> 01:12:57,449
as though they belong to you.

1235
01:12:57,540 --> 01:12:58,700
Goodness.

1236
01:12:58,791 --> 01:13:03,660
As long as I can remember, you've talked
about giving the people their rights,

1237
01:13:03,754 --> 01:13:06,871
as if you could make them
a present of liberty

1238
01:13:06,966 --> 01:13:09,423
as a reward for services rendered.

1239
01:13:09,510 --> 01:13:12,502
-Jed —
-Remember the working man?

1240
01:13:12,597 --> 01:13:14,929
I'll get drunk too, Jedediah...

1241
01:13:16,601 --> 01:13:18,137
if it will do any good.

1242
01:13:18,227 --> 01:13:21,515
It won't do any good.
Besides you never get drunk.

1243
01:13:21,606 --> 01:13:24,393
You used to write an awful lot
about the working man.

1244
01:13:24,483 --> 01:13:25,848
Oh, go on home.

1245
01:13:25,943 --> 01:13:28,400
He's turning into something
called organized labor.

1246
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:32,480
You're not gonna like that one little bit

1247
01:13:32,575 --> 01:13:35,408
when you find out
it means that your working man

1248
01:13:35,494 --> 01:13:38,236
expects something as his right,
not as your gift.

1249
01:13:38,331 --> 01:13:39,446
Charlie.

1250
01:13:40,917 --> 01:13:45,957
When your precious underprivileged
really get together,

1251
01:13:46,047 --> 01:13:47,708
oh,boy.

1252
01:13:48,799 --> 01:13:51,211
That's gonna add up to something
bigger than your privilege.

1253
01:13:51,302 --> 01:13:53,418
Then I don't know what you'll do.

1254
01:13:54,472 --> 01:13:59,762
Sail away to a desert island, probably,
and lord it over the monkeys.

1255
01:14:01,228 --> 01:14:03,640
I wouldn't worry about it too much, Jed.

1256
01:14:03,731 --> 01:14:07,599
There'll probably be a few of them there
to let me know when I do something wrong.

1257
01:14:07,693 --> 01:14:10,935
Mmm. You may not always be so lucky.

1258
01:14:11,906 --> 01:14:13,271
You're not very drunk.

1259
01:14:13,366 --> 01:14:14,981
Drunk. What do you care?

1260
01:14:15,952 --> 01:14:18,364
You don't care about anything except you.

1261
01:14:19,747 --> 01:14:23,615
You just wanna persuade people
that you love them so much

1262
01:14:23,709 --> 01:14:25,870
that they ought to love you back.

1263
01:14:25,962 --> 01:14:28,874
Only you want love on your own terms.

1264
01:14:30,216 --> 01:14:33,754
It's something to be played your way,
according to your rules.

1265
01:14:40,351 --> 01:14:42,842
Charlie, I want you to let me
work on the Chicago paper.

1266
01:14:42,937 --> 01:14:44,052
What?

1267
01:14:44,146 --> 01:14:47,229
Well, you said yourself you were looking
for someone to do dramatic "crimitism" —

1268
01:14:47,316 --> 01:14:48,772
uh, criticism —

1269
01:14:48,859 --> 01:14:50,941
I am drunk.

1270
01:14:53,197 --> 01:14:55,108
I wanna go to Chicago.

1271
01:14:56,534 --> 01:14:58,240
You're too valuable here.

1272
01:15:00,371 --> 01:15:03,033
Well, Charlie, there's nothing left
for me to do but ask you to accept my —

1273
01:15:03,124 --> 01:15:05,706
-All right, you can go to Chicago.
-Thank you.

1274
01:15:06,877 --> 01:15:09,243
Guess I'd better try to get drunk anyway.

1275
01:15:11,090 --> 01:15:13,547
I warn you, Jedediah,
you're not gonna like it in Chicago.

1276
01:15:13,634 --> 01:15:15,545
The wind comes howling in off the lake,

1277
01:15:15,636 --> 01:15:18,048
and gosh only knows
if they ever heard of lobster Newburg.

1278
01:15:18,139 --> 01:15:20,596
Will Saturday after next be all right?

1279
01:15:20,683 --> 01:15:22,674
-Anytime you say.
-Thank you.

1280
01:15:28,315 --> 01:15:31,057
A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms.

1281
01:15:31,152 --> 01:15:33,438
Those are the only terms
anybody ever knows —

1282
01:15:35,072 --> 01:15:36,107
his own.

1283
01:15:48,294 --> 01:15:51,127
Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Kane!
I'm from the Inquirer!

1284
01:15:52,923 --> 01:15:54,834
All right, fire away!

1285
01:15:58,804 --> 01:16:01,090
with politics?

1286
01:16:01,182 --> 01:16:03,468
-What's that, young man?
-Are you through with politics?

1287
01:16:03,559 --> 01:16:05,470
Am I through with politics?

1288
01:16:05,561 --> 01:16:09,395
I should say vice versa.
We're gonna be a great opera star.

1289
01:16:09,482 --> 01:16:11,564
Are you gonna sing
at the Metropolitan, Mrs. Kane?

1290
01:16:11,650 --> 01:16:13,140
We certainly are.

1291
01:16:13,235 --> 01:16:15,942
Charlie said if I didn't,
he'd build me an opera house.

1292
01:16:16,030 --> 01:16:17,440
That won't be necessary.

1293
01:16:21,744 --> 01:16:24,110
No, no, no, no, no!

1294
01:16:24,205 --> 01:16:27,072
-Miss Alexander!
-Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

1295
01:16:27,166 --> 01:16:29,532
You must wait for the chord!

1296
01:16:29,627 --> 01:16:33,040
Miss Alexander!

1297
01:16:33,130 --> 01:16:35,462
Places!

1298
01:16:35,549 --> 01:16:37,665
Places! Places!

1299
01:16:39,637 --> 01:16:41,173
Places, everybody!

1300
01:16:42,264 --> 01:16:43,674
Places, everybody!

1301
01:16:45,142 --> 01:16:46,348
Places!

1302
01:16:46,435 --> 01:16:47,845
Places, everybody!

1303
01:16:50,022 --> 01:16:51,432
Places, please!

1304
01:16:52,858 --> 01:16:54,439
Places, everybody!

1305
01:16:55,319 --> 01:16:57,025
On stage, everybody!

1306
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:00,650
Places, please!

1307
01:17:50,124 --> 01:17:52,866
Mr. Leland is writing it
from the dramatic angle?

1308
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:54,791
And we've covered it
from the news end.

1309
01:17:54,879 --> 01:17:56,915
-Naturally.
-And the social.

1310
01:17:57,006 --> 01:17:59,338
How about the music notice?
You got that end?

1311
01:17:59,425 --> 01:18:01,461
Oh, yes, that's already made up.

1312
01:18:01,552 --> 01:18:03,964
Uh, Mr. Mowan wrote a swell review.

1313
01:18:06,223 --> 01:18:08,305
-Enthusiastic?
-Yes, sir.

1314
01:18:08,392 --> 01:18:09,973
-Naturally.
-Mr. Bernstein.

1315
01:18:10,060 --> 01:18:11,550
-Mr. Kane.
-Mr. Kane.

1316
01:18:11,645 --> 01:18:13,055
-Hello, Mr. Kane. This is a surprise.
-Gentlemen.

1317
01:18:13,147 --> 01:18:14,887
Everything's been done
exactly to your instructions.

1318
01:18:14,982 --> 01:18:17,064
-We've got two spreads of pictures.
-That's fine.

1319
01:18:17,151 --> 01:18:19,142
-The music notice on the front page?
-Yes, Mr. Kane.

1320
01:18:19,236 --> 01:18:23,229
But there's still one notice to come —
the dramatic.

1321
01:18:24,116 --> 01:18:25,401
Dramatic notice?

1322
01:18:26,744 --> 01:18:28,780
Mr. Bernstein,
that's Mr. Leland, isn't it?

1323
01:18:28,871 --> 01:18:31,408
Yes, Mr. Kane. We're waiting for it.

1324
01:18:35,211 --> 01:18:37,918
-Where is he?
-Right in there, Mr. Kane.

1325
01:18:46,180 --> 01:18:47,465
Mr. Kane.

1326
01:18:50,726 --> 01:18:52,057
Mr. Kane.

1327
01:19:02,488 --> 01:19:04,979
Mr. Leland and Mr. Kane, they...

1328
01:19:06,325 --> 01:19:09,237
haven't spoken together for years.

1329
01:19:12,206 --> 01:19:14,618
-You don't suppose —
-There's nothing to suppose.

1330
01:19:19,296 --> 01:19:20,627
Excuse me.

1331
01:19:37,356 --> 01:19:38,596
Close the door.

1332
01:19:42,236 --> 01:19:44,727
He ain't been drinking before, Mr. Kane.

1333
01:19:45,864 --> 01:19:49,231
-Never. We would have heard.
-What's it say there?

1334
01:19:50,744 --> 01:19:53,326
The notice. What's he written?

1335
01:19:54,999 --> 01:19:56,955
"Miss Susan Alexander,

1336
01:19:57,042 --> 01:19:59,875
a pretty but hopelessly
incompetent amateur...

1337
01:20:03,549 --> 01:20:07,792
last night opened
the new Chicago Opera House

1338
01:20:07,886 --> 01:20:09,501
in a performance of..."

1339
01:20:12,641 --> 01:20:16,054
I still can't pronounce
that name, Mr. Kane.

1340
01:20:19,732 --> 01:20:23,941
"Her singing, happily,
is no concern of this department.

1341
01:20:24,028 --> 01:20:28,021
Of her acting,
it is absolutely impossible to..."

1342
01:20:29,575 --> 01:20:30,781
Go on.

1343
01:20:32,536 --> 01:20:34,743
-Go on.
-That's all there is.

1344
01:20:48,719 --> 01:20:52,007
"Of her acting, it is absolutely
impossible to say anything except that,

1345
01:20:52,097 --> 01:20:55,009
in the opinion of this reviewer,
it represents a new low."

1346
01:20:55,100 --> 01:20:56,556
Have you got that, Mr. Bernstein?

1347
01:20:56,643 --> 01:20:58,804
-"In the opinion of this reviewer..."
-I didn't see that.

1348
01:20:58,896 --> 01:21:00,602
It isn't here, Mr. Bernstein.
I'm dictating.

1349
01:21:00,689 --> 01:21:02,520
Well, Mr. Kane, l—

1350
01:21:02,608 --> 01:21:04,144
Get me a typewriter.

1351
01:21:05,652 --> 01:21:07,768
I'm gonna finish Mr. Leland's notice.

1352
01:21:25,214 --> 01:21:26,545
Hello, Bernstein.

1353
01:21:32,137 --> 01:21:34,469
-Hello.
-Hello, Mr. Leland.

1354
01:21:38,727 --> 01:21:41,719
Where's my notice, Bernstein?
l-l've got to finish my notice.

1355
01:21:41,814 --> 01:21:44,271
Mr. Kane is finishing it for you.

1356
01:21:44,358 --> 01:21:45,564
Charlie?

1357
01:21:47,903 --> 01:21:49,063
Charlie?

1358
01:21:51,448 --> 01:21:52,984
Charlie out there?

1359
01:21:55,119 --> 01:21:56,905
Hmm. I guess he's fixing it up.

1360
01:22:00,165 --> 01:22:02,247
I knew I'd never get that through.

1361
01:22:03,252 --> 01:22:06,961
Mr. Kane is finishing your review
just the way you started it.

1362
01:22:08,006 --> 01:22:11,715
He's writing a bad notice
like you wanted it to be.

1363
01:22:14,221 --> 01:22:16,212
I guess that'll show you.

1364
01:22:41,123 --> 01:22:42,533
Hello, Jedediah.

1365
01:22:46,420 --> 01:22:47,660
Hello, Charlie.

1366
01:22:49,339 --> 01:22:51,079
I didn't know we were speaking.

1367
01:22:52,509 --> 01:22:54,340
Sure we're speaking, Jedediah.

1368
01:22:56,763 --> 01:22:57,969
You're fired.

1369
01:23:11,403 --> 01:23:13,359
Everybody knows that story, Mr. Leland.

1370
01:23:13,447 --> 01:23:16,063
But... why did he do it?

1371
01:23:17,284 --> 01:23:20,276
-How could a man write a notice like that?
-You just don't know Charlie.

1372
01:23:20,370 --> 01:23:24,204
He thought that by finishing that notice
he could show me he was an honest man.

1373
01:23:24,291 --> 01:23:26,657
He was always trying to prove something.

1374
01:23:26,752 --> 01:23:29,915
That whole thing about Susie
being an opera singer,

1375
01:23:30,005 --> 01:23:32,212
that was trying to prove something.

1376
01:23:33,050 --> 01:23:36,713
You know what the headline was
the day before the election?

1377
01:23:36,803 --> 01:23:42,844
"Candidate Kane
found in love nest with 'singer."'

1378
01:23:42,935 --> 01:23:45,051
He was gonna take
the quotes off the singer.

1379
01:23:45,145 --> 01:23:46,305
Hey, nurse!

1380
01:23:46,396 --> 01:23:50,309
Five years ago, he wrote from that place
down there in the south, uh —

1381
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:52,140
What's it called, uh...

1382
01:23:52,236 --> 01:23:54,727
Shangri-la? El Dorado?

1383
01:23:54,821 --> 01:23:56,106
Sloppy Joe's?

1384
01:23:56,198 --> 01:23:58,439
What was the name of that place?

1385
01:23:58,534 --> 01:24:02,243
Oh, right. Xanadu.

1386
01:24:02,329 --> 01:24:04,786
I knew it all the time.
You caught on, didn't you?

1387
01:24:04,873 --> 01:24:08,115
I guess maybe I'm not as hard
to see through as I think.

1388
01:24:08,210 --> 01:24:10,417
Well, I never even answered his letter.

1389
01:24:11,296 --> 01:24:12,786
Maybe I should have.

1390
01:24:12,881 --> 01:24:16,419
Guess he was pretty lonely down there
in that colosseum all those years.

1391
01:24:17,302 --> 01:24:20,009
He hadn't finished it when she left him.
He never finished it.

1392
01:24:20,097 --> 01:24:24,010
He never finished anything...
except my notice.

1393
01:24:24,101 --> 01:24:26,262
Of course, he built the joint for her.

1394
01:24:26,353 --> 01:24:28,560
-That must have been love.
-I don't know.

1395
01:24:28,647 --> 01:24:31,138
He was disappointed in the world,
so he built one of his own.

1396
01:24:31,233 --> 01:24:33,770
An absolute monarchy.

1397
01:24:33,860 --> 01:24:36,442
Something bigger
than an opera house, anyway.

1398
01:24:36,530 --> 01:24:37,895
-Nurse —
-Yes, Mr. Leland.

1399
01:24:37,990 --> 01:24:40,072
Oh, I'm coming. Uh, uh...

1400
01:24:40,701 --> 01:24:43,443
Listen, young fella,
there is one thing you can do for me.

1401
01:24:43,537 --> 01:24:44,652
Sure.

1402
01:24:44,746 --> 01:24:48,910
Stop at the cigar store on your way out
and get me a couple of good cigars?

1403
01:24:49,001 --> 01:24:51,208
-Be glad to.
-And send them up. Thank you.

1404
01:24:51,712 --> 01:24:53,498
One is enough.

1405
01:24:53,589 --> 01:24:55,329
You know, when l was a young man,

1406
01:24:55,424 --> 01:24:57,631
there used to be an impression around
that nurses were pretty.

1407
01:24:57,718 --> 01:25:00,130
Well, it was no truer then
than it is today.

1408
01:25:00,220 --> 01:25:02,336
-I'll take your arm, Mr. Leland.
-All right. All right.

1409
01:25:02,431 --> 01:25:04,547
You won't forget
about those cigars, will ya?

1410
01:25:04,641 --> 01:25:08,600
And, uh, have them wrap them up
to look like, uh, toothpaste or something,

1411
01:25:08,687 --> 01:25:10,348
or they'll stop them at the desk.

1412
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:12,555
You know that young doctor
I was telling you about.

1413
01:25:12,649 --> 01:25:17,359
Well, he's got an idea he wants
to keep me alive.

1414
01:25:46,350 --> 01:25:48,056
I'd rather you'd just talked.

1415
01:25:48,977 --> 01:25:52,515
Anything that comes into your mind
about yourself and Mr. Kane.

1416
01:25:52,606 --> 01:25:56,269
You wouldn't want to hear a lot
of what comes into my mind

1417
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,601
about myself and Mr. Charlie Kane.

1418
01:26:00,530 --> 01:26:03,317
You know, maybe I should
never have sung for Charlie

1419
01:26:03,408 --> 01:26:05,239
that first time I met him.

1420
01:26:06,620 --> 01:26:09,407
But I did an awful lot of singing
after that.

1421
01:26:11,083 --> 01:26:15,747
To start with, I sang for teachers
at 100 bucks an hour.

1422
01:26:15,837 --> 01:26:17,953
-Teachers got that. I —
-What did you get?

1423
01:26:18,048 --> 01:26:21,381
I didn't get a thing. Just music lessons.
That's all there was in it.

1424
01:26:21,468 --> 01:26:22,833
He married you, didn't he?

1425
01:26:22,928 --> 01:26:26,386
He didn't mention anything about marriage
till after it was all over and...

1426
01:26:27,224 --> 01:26:29,966
it got in the papers about us
and he lost the election

1427
01:26:30,060 --> 01:26:32,051
and that Norton woman divorced him.

1428
01:26:34,231 --> 01:26:36,313
He was really interested in my voice.

1429
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:38,391
What do you suppose
he built that opera house for?

1430
01:26:38,485 --> 01:26:41,693
I didn't want it. I didn't want a thing.
It was his idea.

1431
01:26:43,323 --> 01:26:45,154
Everything was his idea.

1432
01:26:48,286 --> 01:26:49,526
Except my leaving him.

1433
01:26:58,213 --> 01:26:59,498
Don't forget.

1434
01:26:59,589 --> 01:27:02,706
Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta!

1435
01:27:02,801 --> 01:27:04,632
Don't get nervous. Don't get nervous.

1436
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:07,336
Please. Let's come back. Staccato, eh?

1437
01:27:08,807 --> 01:27:12,220
Please look at me, Mrs. Kane darling. Now...

1438
01:27:12,310 --> 01:27:16,644
Get the voice out of the throat

1439
01:27:16,732 --> 01:27:21,396
Place the tone right in the mask

1440
01:27:21,486 --> 01:27:23,351
Fonrvard, fonrvard.

1441
01:27:23,447 --> 01:27:24,983
Now, roll the eyes.

1442
01:27:25,073 --> 01:27:26,313
Go ahead. Go ahead.

1443
01:27:27,033 --> 01:27:28,569
Diaphragm.

1444
01:27:36,168 --> 01:27:37,453
You're out of pitch.

1445
01:27:42,424 --> 01:27:45,507
Some people can sing, some can't.

1446
01:27:45,594 --> 01:27:48,051
Impossible! Impossible!

1447
01:27:48,138 --> 01:27:51,175
It's not yourjob to give Mrs. Kane
your opinion of her talents.

1448
01:27:52,684 --> 01:27:54,720
You're supposed to train her voice,
Signor Matiste.

1449
01:27:54,811 --> 01:27:56,301
-But, Mr. Kane —
-Nothing more.

1450
01:27:57,397 --> 01:27:59,137
Please sit down
and continue with the lesson.

1451
01:27:59,232 --> 01:28:01,223
-But, Mr. Kane.
-Please.

1452
01:28:01,985 --> 01:28:05,352
But M will be the Iaughingstock
of the musical world.

1453
01:28:05,447 --> 01:28:07,483
-People will think that I —
-People will think?

1454
01:28:07,574 --> 01:28:09,189
You're concerned
with what people will think?

1455
01:28:09,284 --> 01:28:11,275
Perhaps I can enlighten you,
Signor Matiste.

1456
01:28:11,369 --> 01:28:13,985
I'm something of an authority
on what people will think.

1457
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:16,947
The newspapers, for example.

1458
01:28:17,042 --> 01:28:19,533
I run several newspapers
between here and San Francisco.

1459
01:28:19,628 --> 01:28:22,745
It's all right, darling. Signor Matiste
is going to listen to reason.

1460
01:28:22,839 --> 01:28:24,704
-But, uh —
-Aren't you, Signor Matiste?

1461
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:26,836
-How can I persuade you —
-You can't.

1462
01:28:53,495 --> 01:28:55,110
It's all right, darling. Go ahead.

1463
01:29:07,509 --> 01:29:09,500
I thought you'd see it my way.

1464
01:29:19,396 --> 01:29:21,762
No, no, no, no, no!

1465
01:29:21,857 --> 01:29:24,849
-Miss Alexander!
-Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

1466
01:29:24,943 --> 01:29:27,104
You must wait for the chord!

1467
01:29:31,700 --> 01:29:35,238
Places! Places! Places!

1468
01:29:37,372 --> 01:29:39,078
On stage, everybody!

1469
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:41,536
Places, everybody!

1470
01:29:42,919 --> 01:29:45,376
Places! Places, everybody!

1471
01:29:47,716 --> 01:29:49,047
Places, please!

1472
01:31:10,507 --> 01:31:13,374
Perfectly dreadful.

1473
01:32:50,982 --> 01:32:53,439
Stop telling me he's your friend!

1474
01:32:53,526 --> 01:32:56,438
A friend don't write that kind of review!

1475
01:32:56,529 --> 01:32:59,612
All these other papers panning me,
I could expect that!

1476
01:33:00,784 --> 01:33:03,742
But for the Inquirer to run a thing
like that, spoiling my whole debut —

1477
01:33:03,828 --> 01:33:05,409
-Come in!
-I'll get it.

1478
01:33:05,497 --> 01:33:06,657
"Friend"!

1479
01:33:06,748 --> 01:33:08,579
Not the kind of friends I know.

1480
01:33:08,666 --> 01:33:10,952
But, of course,
I'm not high-class like you,

1481
01:33:11,044 --> 01:33:13,126
and I never went to any swell schools.

1482
01:33:13,213 --> 01:33:14,544
That'll be enough, Susan. Yes?

1483
01:33:14,631 --> 01:33:16,417
-From Mr. Leland, sir.
-Jed Leland?

1484
01:33:16,508 --> 01:33:18,419
He wanted me to make sure
that you got this personally.

1485
01:33:18,510 --> 01:33:19,841
-Thanks, son.
-Yes, sir.

1486
01:33:20,470 --> 01:33:22,335
Is that something from him?

1487
01:33:23,807 --> 01:33:25,013
Charlie!

1488
01:33:26,142 --> 01:33:30,010
As for you, you oughta
have your head examined,

1489
01:33:30,105 --> 01:33:32,721
sending him a letter
telling him he's fired

1490
01:33:32,816 --> 01:33:35,057
with a $25,000 check in it.

1491
01:33:35,151 --> 01:33:37,517
What kind of firing do you call that?

1492
01:33:38,404 --> 01:33:42,272
You did send him a check
for $25,000, didn't you?

1493
01:33:43,952 --> 01:33:44,987
Yes.

1494
01:33:47,580 --> 01:33:50,117
I sent him a check for $25,000.

1495
01:33:53,336 --> 01:33:54,667
What's that?

1496
01:33:55,672 --> 01:33:57,537
"Declaration of Principles."

1497
01:33:57,632 --> 01:33:59,293
-What?
-Hmm?

1498
01:33:59,384 --> 01:34:00,669
What is it?

1499
01:34:05,974 --> 01:34:07,180
An antique.

1500
01:34:07,267 --> 01:34:10,009
You're awful funny, aren't you?

1501
01:34:11,229 --> 01:34:14,187
Well, I can tell you one thing you're not
gonna keep on being funny about,

1502
01:34:14,274 --> 01:34:15,605
and that's my singing.

1503
01:34:15,692 --> 01:34:19,025
I'm through! I never wanted
to do it in the first place!

1504
01:34:19,946 --> 01:34:21,811
You'll continue with your singing, Susan.

1505
01:34:21,906 --> 01:34:24,943
I don't propose
to have myself made ridiculous.

1506
01:34:25,034 --> 01:34:28,618
You don't propose to have yourself
made ridiculous?

1507
01:34:28,705 --> 01:34:31,788
What about me?
I'm the one that's gotta do the singing!

1508
01:34:31,875 --> 01:34:33,536
I'm the one that gets the raspberries!

1509
01:34:33,626 --> 01:34:35,708
Why don't you leave me alone?

1510
01:34:35,795 --> 01:34:37,626
My reasons satisfy me, Susan!

1511
01:34:37,714 --> 01:34:39,329
You seem unable to understand them.

1512
01:34:40,925 --> 01:34:42,916
I will not tell them to you again.

1513
01:34:46,764 --> 01:34:48,345
You will continue with your singing.

1514
01:36:21,442 --> 01:36:22,522
Get Dr. Corey.

1515
01:36:27,740 --> 01:36:28,946
Susan.

1516
01:36:29,617 --> 01:36:32,780
She'll be perfectly all right
in a day or two, Mr. Kane.

1517
01:36:35,248 --> 01:36:38,866
I can't imagine how Mrs. Kane
came to make such a foolish mistake.

1518
01:36:39,794 --> 01:36:43,833
The sedative Dr. Wagner gave her
was in a somewhat larger bottle.

1519
01:36:44,757 --> 01:36:47,373
I guess the strain
of preparing for the new opera

1520
01:36:47,468 --> 01:36:49,254
has excited and confused her.

1521
01:36:49,345 --> 01:36:51,427
-Yes. Yes, I'm sure that was it.
-Mmm.

1522
01:36:52,390 --> 01:36:54,802
No objections to my staying here
with her, are there?

1523
01:36:54,892 --> 01:36:56,382
No. No, not at all.

1524
01:36:56,477 --> 01:36:59,219
I — I'd like the nurse to be here too.

1525
01:37:00,273 --> 01:37:01,479
Good night, Mr. Kane.

1526
01:37:38,061 --> 01:37:39,176
Charlie.

1527
01:37:42,190 --> 01:37:44,897
I couldn't make you see
how I felt, Charlie.

1528
01:37:46,944 --> 01:37:49,526
But I couldn't go through
with the singing again.

1529
01:37:51,657 --> 01:37:54,399
You don't know what it means
to know that people are...

1530
01:37:56,371 --> 01:37:58,862
that a whole audience
just doesn't want you.

1531
01:38:02,835 --> 01:38:04,826
That's when you've gotta fight 'em.

1532
01:38:13,262 --> 01:38:14,468
All right.

1533
01:38:16,891 --> 01:38:18,802
You won't have to fight 'em anymore.

1534
01:38:22,438 --> 01:38:23,848
It's their loss.

1535
01:38:40,039 --> 01:38:42,030
What are you doing?

1536
01:38:46,379 --> 01:38:47,994
Jigsaw puzzles?

1537
01:38:53,469 --> 01:38:55,460
Charlie, what time is it?

1538
01:38:56,097 --> 01:38:58,759
-11:30.
-In New York?

1539
01:39:00,643 --> 01:39:01,974
Hmm?

1540
01:39:02,061 --> 01:39:04,677
I said, what time is it in New York?

1541
01:39:05,898 --> 01:39:08,480
-11:30.
-At night?

1542
01:39:09,902 --> 01:39:11,017
Mm-hmm.

1543
01:39:12,530 --> 01:39:14,191
The Bulldog's just gone to press.

1544
01:39:14,282 --> 01:39:17,240
Well, hooray for the Bulldog.

1545
01:39:19,495 --> 01:39:21,486
Gee, 11:30.

1546
01:39:21,581 --> 01:39:23,367
The shows are just getting out.

1547
01:39:23,458 --> 01:39:25,915
People are going to nightclubs
and restaurants.

1548
01:39:26,711 --> 01:39:29,748
Of course, we're different
because we live in a palace.

1549
01:39:29,839 --> 01:39:32,501
You always said you wanted
to live in a palace.

1550
01:39:32,592 --> 01:39:35,425
Oh, a person could go crazy in this dump.

1551
01:39:35,511 --> 01:39:38,423
Nobody to talk to,
nobody to have any fun with.

1552
01:39:38,514 --> 01:39:39,970
Susan.

1553
01:39:40,057 --> 01:39:43,845
Forty-nine thousand acres
of nothing but scenery and statues.

1554
01:39:43,936 --> 01:39:45,426
I'm lonesome.

1555
01:39:45,521 --> 01:39:49,389
Till just yesterday we've had no less
than 50 of your friends at any one time.

1556
01:39:49,484 --> 01:39:51,645
I think if you look carefully
in the west wing, Susan,

1557
01:39:51,736 --> 01:39:55,604
you'll find about a dozen vacationers
still in residence.

1558
01:39:55,698 --> 01:39:58,690
You make a joke out of everything.

1559
01:39:58,784 --> 01:40:01,617
Charlie, I wanna go to New York.

1560
01:40:01,704 --> 01:40:05,367
I'm tired of being a hostess.
I wanna have fun.

1561
01:40:05,458 --> 01:40:07,119
Please, Charlie.

1562
01:40:09,170 --> 01:40:12,082
Charlie, please.

1563
01:40:13,007 --> 01:40:15,214
Our home is here, Susan.

1564
01:40:21,349 --> 01:40:23,340
I don't care to visit New York.

1565
01:41:00,304 --> 01:41:01,965
What are you doing?

1566
01:41:03,766 --> 01:41:05,222
Oh.

1567
01:41:05,309 --> 01:41:08,346
One thing I never can understand, Susan.

1568
01:41:08,437 --> 01:41:10,428
How do you know
you haven't done it before?

1569
01:41:10,523 --> 01:41:14,357
Makes a whole lot more sense
than collecting statues.

1570
01:41:16,362 --> 01:41:17,647
You may be right.

1571
01:41:18,447 --> 01:41:19,857
I sometimes wonder.

1572
01:41:20,825 --> 01:41:23,032
But you get into the habit.

1573
01:41:23,119 --> 01:41:26,031
It's not a habit.
I do it 'cause I like it.

1574
01:41:26,122 --> 01:41:28,329
I thought we might have
a picnic tomorrow, Susan.

1575
01:41:28,416 --> 01:41:29,531
Huh?

1576
01:41:29,625 --> 01:41:31,661
I thought we might have a picnic tomorrow.

1577
01:41:31,752 --> 01:41:34,459
Invite everybody to spend
the night at the Everglades.

1578
01:41:34,547 --> 01:41:36,037
"Invite everybody."

1579
01:41:36,132 --> 01:41:39,249
Order everybody, you mean,
and make them sleep in tents.

1580
01:41:39,343 --> 01:41:40,799
Who wants to sleep in tents

1581
01:41:40,886 --> 01:41:43,218
when they got a nice room of their own
with their own bath

1582
01:41:43,306 --> 01:41:45,012
where they know where everything is?

1583
01:41:45,099 --> 01:41:47,715
Thought we might have
a picnic tomorrow, Susan.

1584
01:41:51,814 --> 01:41:54,897
You never give me anything
I really care about.

1585
01:42:04,118 --> 01:42:09,078
It can't be love

1586
01:42:09,165 --> 01:42:13,784
-For there is no true love
-No true love

1587
01:42:13,878 --> 01:42:16,335
I know I've played at the game

1588
01:42:16,422 --> 01:42:19,334
Like a moth in a blue flame

1589
01:42:19,425 --> 01:42:23,293
-Lost in the end just the same
-Just the same

1590
01:42:23,387 --> 01:42:26,129
All these years

1591
01:42:26,223 --> 01:42:28,179
My heart's been floating around

1592
01:42:28,267 --> 01:42:31,054
In a puddle of tears

1593
01:42:31,145 --> 01:42:33,431
Mm-mmm

1594
01:42:33,522 --> 01:42:35,137
I wonder what it is

1595
01:42:35,232 --> 01:42:39,475
Oh, sure, you give me things,
but that don't mean anything to you.

1596
01:42:42,156 --> 01:42:45,068
You're in a tent, darling.
You aren't at home.

1597
01:42:45,159 --> 01:42:48,492
I can hear you very well if you speak
in a normal tone of voice.

1598
01:42:48,579 --> 01:42:50,570
What's the difference
between giving me a bracelet

1599
01:42:50,665 --> 01:42:52,872
or giving somebody else
$100,000 for a statue

1600
01:42:52,958 --> 01:42:55,791
you're gonna keep crated up
and never even look at?

1601
01:42:55,878 --> 01:42:57,834
It's just money. It doesn't mean anything.

1602
01:42:57,922 --> 01:43:01,380
You never really give me anything
that belongs to you, that you care about.

1603
01:43:01,467 --> 01:43:02,923
Susan, I want you to stop this.

1604
01:43:03,010 --> 01:43:04,671
-I'm not gonna stop it!
-Right now.

1605
01:43:04,762 --> 01:43:07,128
You never gave me anything
in your whole life.

1606
01:43:07,223 --> 01:43:09,635
You just tried to buy me
into giving you something.

1607
01:43:09,725 --> 01:43:10,760
Susan!

1608
01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:16,346
-It can't be love

1609
01:43:16,440 --> 01:43:18,522
He said it can’t be love

1610
01:43:18,609 --> 01:43:21,476
For there is no true love

1611
01:43:29,829 --> 01:43:32,115
Whatever I do, I do because I love you.

1612
01:43:32,206 --> 01:43:33,946
You don't love me.

1613
01:43:34,792 --> 01:43:37,875
You want me to love you. Sure.

1614
01:43:37,962 --> 01:43:39,498
"I'm Charles Foster Kane.

1615
01:43:39,588 --> 01:43:42,204
Whatever you want,
just name it and it's yours.

1616
01:43:42,299 --> 01:43:44,255
But you gotta love me."

1617
01:43:49,306 --> 01:43:51,092
Don't tell me you're sorry.

1618
01:43:53,853 --> 01:43:55,263
I'm not sorry.

1619
01:44:07,491 --> 01:44:08,606
Mr. Kane?

1620
01:44:09,535 --> 01:44:11,526
Mrs. Kane would like to see you, sir.

1621
01:44:15,166 --> 01:44:18,158
Marie has been packing her since morning.

1622
01:44:24,425 --> 01:44:26,461
Tell Arnold I'm ready, Marie.

1623
01:44:26,552 --> 01:44:28,543
Tell him he can get the bags.

1624
01:44:28,637 --> 01:44:29,922
Yes, madame.

1625
01:44:31,849 --> 01:44:33,555
Have you gone completely crazy?

1626
01:44:34,310 --> 01:44:37,427
Don't you know that our guests,
that everyone here will know about this?

1627
01:44:37,521 --> 01:44:39,512
Packed your bag, you've sent for the car —

1628
01:44:39,607 --> 01:44:42,144
And left you? Of course they'll hear.

1629
01:44:43,944 --> 01:44:46,731
I'm not saying goodbye except to you.

1630
01:44:46,822 --> 01:44:49,234
But I never imagined people wouldn't know.

1631
01:44:52,119 --> 01:44:53,950
I won't let you go.

1632
01:45:01,212 --> 01:45:02,622
Goodbye, Charlie.

1633
01:45:06,509 --> 01:45:07,999
Susan.

1634
01:45:18,020 --> 01:45:19,226
Please don't go.

1635
01:45:21,899 --> 01:45:23,105
No.

1636
01:45:25,361 --> 01:45:26,771
Please, Susan.

1637
01:45:30,324 --> 01:45:33,737
From now on, everything will be exactly
the way you want it to be.

1638
01:45:33,828 --> 01:45:35,944
Not the way I think you want it, but...

1639
01:45:37,706 --> 01:45:39,537
your way.

1640
01:45:41,377 --> 01:45:42,537
Hmm?

1641
01:45:45,714 --> 01:45:46,999
You mustn't go.

1642
01:45:50,094 --> 01:45:51,675
You can't do this to me.

1643
01:45:54,139 --> 01:45:55,675
I see.

1644
01:45:56,809 --> 01:45:59,551
It's you that this is being done to.

1645
01:45:59,645 --> 01:46:03,388
It's not me at all.
Not what it means to me.

1646
01:46:05,734 --> 01:46:07,725
I can't do this to you?

1647
01:46:09,363 --> 01:46:10,648
Oh, yes, I can.

1648
01:46:30,342 --> 01:46:33,425
In case you haven't heard howl lost all
my money, and it was plenty, believe me —

1649
01:46:33,512 --> 01:46:35,753
The last ten years
have been tough on a lot of people.

1650
01:46:35,848 --> 01:46:38,840
Oh, they haven't been tough on me.
I just lost all my money.

1651
01:46:39,602 --> 01:46:40,842
So you're going down to Xanadu.

1652
01:46:40,936 --> 01:46:42,801
Yeah, Monday with some
of the boys from the office.

1653
01:46:42,897 --> 01:46:45,604
Mr. Rawlston wants the whole place
photographed. All that art stuff.

1654
01:46:45,691 --> 01:46:48,148
-We run a picture magazine, you know.
-Yeah, I know.

1655
01:46:48,235 --> 01:46:51,022
Well, if you're smart, you'll get in touch
with Raymond. He's the butler.

1656
01:46:51,113 --> 01:46:54,651
You'll learn a lot from him.
He knows where all the bodies are buried.

1657
01:46:54,742 --> 01:46:58,234
You know, all the same,
I feel kind of sorry for Mr. Kane.

1658
01:47:01,332 --> 01:47:02,913
Don't you think I do?

1659
01:47:07,504 --> 01:47:09,961
What do you know? It's morning already.

1660
01:47:14,136 --> 01:47:17,128
Come around and tell me
the story of your life sometime.

1661
01:47:24,730 --> 01:47:26,015
Rosebud?

1662
01:47:28,901 --> 01:47:30,732
I tell you about Rosebud.

1663
01:47:31,528 --> 01:47:35,362
How much is it worth to you?
A thousand dollars?

1664
01:47:41,914 --> 01:47:43,279
Okay.

1665
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:47,537
Well, I tell you, Mr. Thompson.

1666
01:47:48,379 --> 01:47:50,836
He acted kind of funny sometimes.
You know?

1667
01:47:50,923 --> 01:47:52,003
No, I didn't.

1668
01:47:52,091 --> 01:47:54,753
Yes, he did crazy things sometimes.

1669
01:47:54,843 --> 01:47:57,334
I've been working for him 11 years now,

1670
01:47:57,429 --> 01:47:59,385
in charge of the whole place,

1671
01:47:59,473 --> 01:48:01,384
so I ought to know.

1672
01:48:01,475 --> 01:48:02,806
-Rosebud.
-Yes.

1673
01:48:02,893 --> 01:48:08,013
Well, like I tell you, the old man
acted kind of funny sometimes,

1674
01:48:08,107 --> 01:48:10,723
but, uh, I knew how to handle him.

1675
01:48:10,818 --> 01:48:13,025
-Need a lot of service?
-Mmm, yeah.

1676
01:48:13,112 --> 01:48:16,400
But I knew how to handle him.
Like the time his wife left him.

1677
01:50:32,417 --> 01:50:33,827
Rosebud.

1678
01:51:41,695 --> 01:51:42,901
I see.

1679
01:51:43,906 --> 01:51:46,192
And that's what you know about Rosebud?

1680
01:51:46,283 --> 01:51:47,739
Yeah.

1681
01:51:47,826 --> 01:51:50,568
I heard him say it that other time too.

1682
01:51:50,662 --> 01:51:55,031
He just said, uh, "Rosebud."

1683
01:51:55,125 --> 01:51:58,242
Then he dropped the glass ball
and it broke on the floor.

1684
01:51:59,129 --> 01:52:02,997
He didn't say anything after that
and I knew he was dead.

1685
01:52:04,092 --> 01:52:06,754
He said all kinds of things
that didn't mean anything.

1686
01:52:06,845 --> 01:52:08,301
Sentimental fellow, aren't you?

1687
01:52:08,388 --> 01:52:10,879
Mmm, yes and no.

1688
01:52:10,974 --> 01:52:12,589
Well, that isn't worth $1,000.

1689
01:52:12,684 --> 01:52:15,847
You can keep on asking questions
if you want.

1690
01:52:15,938 --> 01:52:20,272
We're leaving tonight...
as soon as we're through taking pictures.

1691
01:52:20,359 --> 01:52:22,145
Allow yourself plenty of time.

1692
01:52:22,236 --> 01:52:27,572
The train stops at the junction on Sixth,
but they don't like to wait. Not now.

1693
01:52:27,658 --> 01:52:31,401
I can remember when they'd wait all day
if Mr. Kane said so.

1694
01:52:31,495 --> 01:52:33,702
Nativity.

1695
01:52:33,789 --> 01:52:34,995
Better get going.

1696
01:52:35,082 --> 01:52:37,539
-Acquired Florence, 1921.
-Okay.

1697
01:52:37,626 --> 01:52:40,959
-Take a picture of that.
-Hey! Can we come down?

1698
01:52:41,046 --> 01:52:43,253
Yeah, hurry up. We're leaving.

1699
01:52:43,340 --> 01:52:45,547
Okay. Here we come.

1700
01:52:45,634 --> 01:52:49,047
How much do you think
all this is worth, Mr. Thompson?

1701
01:52:49,137 --> 01:52:50,468
Millions.

1702
01:52:52,015 --> 01:52:53,425
If anybody wants it.

1703
01:52:53,517 --> 01:52:56,179
Well, at least he brought
all this stuff to America.

1704
01:52:56,270 --> 01:52:57,680
-What's that?
-Another Venus.

1705
01:52:57,771 --> 01:52:59,477
Twenty-five thousand bucks.

1706
01:52:59,564 --> 01:53:01,930
That's a lot of money to pay
for a dame without a head.

1707
01:53:02,025 --> 01:53:05,517
-The banks are out of luck then?
-Oh, I don't know.

1708
01:53:05,612 --> 01:53:08,570
-They'll clear all right.
-He never threw anything away.

1709
01:53:08,657 --> 01:53:10,363
"Welcome home, Mr. Kane,

1710
01:53:10,450 --> 01:53:13,613
from 467 employees
of the New York Inquirer."

1711
01:53:13,704 --> 01:53:17,492
"One stove from the estate
of Mary Kane, Little Salem, Colorado.

1712
01:53:17,582 --> 01:53:19,288
Value, two dollars."

1713
01:53:19,376 --> 01:53:21,617
We're supposed to get
everything, the junk as well as the art.

1714
01:53:21,712 --> 01:53:23,498
He sure liked to collect things,
didn't he?

1715
01:53:23,588 --> 01:53:25,124
Anything and everything.

1716
01:53:25,215 --> 01:53:26,751
A regular crow, huh?

1717
01:53:26,842 --> 01:53:29,709
-Hey, look, a jigsaw puzzle.
-We got a lot of those.

1718
01:53:29,803 --> 01:53:32,089
A Burmese temple
and three Spanish ceilings down the hall.

1719
01:53:32,180 --> 01:53:33,340
Yeah. All in crates.

1720
01:53:33,432 --> 01:53:36,265
Part of a Scotch castle over there,
but we haven't bothered to unwrap it yet.

1721
01:53:36,351 --> 01:53:38,512
I wonder,
you put all this stuff together —

1722
01:53:38,603 --> 01:53:41,720
the palaces and the paintings,
and the toys and everything.

1723
01:53:41,815 --> 01:53:43,521
What would it spell?

1724
01:53:45,193 --> 01:53:48,151
-Charles Foster Kane?
-Or Rosebud.

1725
01:53:48,238 --> 01:53:50,354
How about it, Jerry?

1726
01:53:50,449 --> 01:53:54,488
-What's Rosebud?
-That's what he said when he died.

1727
01:53:54,578 --> 01:53:57,490
-Did you ever find out what it means?
-No, I didn't.

1728
01:53:57,581 --> 01:54:00,414
-What did you find out about him, Jerry?
-Not much, really.

1729
01:54:03,670 --> 01:54:05,206
We'd better get started.

1730
01:54:07,215 --> 01:54:09,331
What have you been doing all this time?

1731
01:54:10,844 --> 01:54:12,425
Playing with a jigsaw puzzle.

1732
01:54:12,512 --> 01:54:14,218
If you could have found out
what that Rosebud meant,

1733
01:54:14,306 --> 01:54:16,092
I bet that would have explained
everything.

1734
01:54:16,183 --> 01:54:17,593
No, I don't think so.

1735
01:54:18,435 --> 01:54:19,925
No.

1736
01:54:20,020 --> 01:54:23,558
Mr. Kane was a man who got
everything he wanted and then lost it.

1737
01:54:23,648 --> 01:54:27,357
Maybe Rosebud was something
he couldn't get or something he lost.

1738
01:54:27,444 --> 01:54:29,435
Anyway, it wouldn't have
explained anything.

1739
01:54:30,614 --> 01:54:33,526
I don't think any word
can explain a man's life.

1740
01:54:34,701 --> 01:54:38,569
No, I guess Rosebud
is just a piece in a jigsaw puzzle.

1741
01:54:40,165 --> 01:54:41,496
A missing piece.

1742
01:54:45,295 --> 01:54:49,254
Well, come on, everybody.

1743
01:54:51,718 --> 01:54:53,003
We'll miss the train.

1744
01:55:58,493 --> 01:55:59,903
Throw that junk in.

1745
01:57:33,255 --> 01:57:38,921
Maybe I was, uh, what you
nowadays would call a stooge, huh?

1746
01:57:39,010 --> 01:57:41,046
Everything was his idea.

1747
01:57:43,098 --> 01:57:44,588
Except my leaving him.

1748
01:57:45,767 --> 01:57:47,632
I've got his trunk all packed.

1749
01:57:49,145 --> 01:57:50,931
I've had it packed for a week now.

1750
01:57:51,606 --> 01:57:54,769
Sometimes I think I'd prefer
a rival of flesh and blood.

1751
01:57:57,112 --> 01:57:59,569
You're gonna need more than one lesson.

1752
01:58:00,532 --> 01:58:02,773
And you're gonna get more than one lesson.

1753
01:58:07,914 --> 01:58:10,030
Who's a busy man? Me?

1754
01:58:10,125 --> 01:58:13,288
I'm chairman of the board.
I got nothing but time.

1755
01:58:13,378 --> 01:58:14,584
What do you want to know?

1756
01:58:14,671 --> 01:58:17,333
Well, Mr. Bernstein, we thought maybe
if we could find out

1757
01:58:17,424 --> 01:58:20,040
what he meant by his last words
as he was dying.

1758
01:58:20,135 --> 01:58:21,716
Sentimental fellow, aren't you?

1759
01:58:21,803 --> 01:58:24,886
Mmm, yes and no.

1760
01:58:24,973 --> 01:58:28,215
"I think it would be fun
to run a newspaper."

1761
01:58:28,310 --> 01:58:33,145
"I think it would be fun
to run a newspaper."
