:07:03
And now, I've got to get on my knees
to Jim Allenbury...
:07:06
a man I fought for 20 years,
never giving an inch.
:07:10
They're ready with London, Mr. Bane.
:07:13
Wait a minute. Let me talk to him.
:07:14
You know how he hates you.
I'll take all the blame.
:07:17
You know nothing,
not even that I'm phoning.
:07:19
- Then if I fail...
- You mustn't.
:07:20
Tell him it was just a mistake.
:07:22
Maybe he doesn't know anything about it.
Only 50 of those papers got away.
:07:26
Hello? Hello, London? Yeah, we're ready.
:07:28
Hello? Hello, Mr. Allenbury?
:07:31
This is Warren Haggerty
of the New York Evening Star.
:07:33
You know the Star?
:07:37
Well, I'm sorry you feel that way
about us, Mr. Allenbury.
:07:41
Yes. I realize that we've
fought in the past...
:07:43
but it's always been a good, clean fight.
:07:45
No. Nothing serious.
:07:47
But the early edition of the paper
carried a little item about your daughter.
:07:51
Not that the item was serious at all,
but I just thought I'd phone you...
:07:55
Yes. Yes, that's it, exactly.
The spirit of fair play.
:07:59
I appreciate that spirit of fair play,
Mr. Haggerty...
:08:02
but you see, my office cabled me
a copy of your little item.
:08:07
What?
:08:08
Yes, indeed.
Hardly what I'd call innocent...
:08:11
but typical of Hollis Bane and everything
that his newspaper stands for.
:08:15
No, I'm not interested, Mr. Haggerty.
You can discuss that with my attorney.
:08:19
Now, hold on a minute.
:08:21
This is Charles Archibald,
of Archibald, Davis, and Wingert.
:08:24
We're filing suit immediately
through our New York office.
:08:27
- You'll receive the papers tomorrow.
- Just a minute, Mr. Archibald.
:08:30
Don't forget to mention
the amount we're suing for.
:08:33
That should interest them.
:08:35
By the way,
you might inform your Mr. Bane...
:08:38
Miss Allenbury
is asking damages for $5 million.
:08:48
$5 million.
:08:49
She's insane, she's mad.
:08:51
There never has been
a libel suit for $5 million.
:08:53
There ain't that much money.
:08:55
She's got all the money in the world now.
:08:56
It's not money they're after.
:08:58
It's the paper. It's me.
For 20 years, I've fought Allenbury.
