1:25:04
Quiet, boys!
1:25:09
Now there's just one thing I want to know.
1:25:12
The rest is for the police.
1:25:13
Wait a minute. Don't hand the kid over.
1:25:15
Hey, Whitey, come here and tell him.
1:25:16
Let him go.
Come on, Whitey, spill everything.
1:25:18
I couldn't tell you nothing before.
1:25:20
I didn't have no part in robbing the bank.
1:25:22
I couldn't tell you,
because I couldn't give my brother up.
1:25:26
I didn't come here
to make a sneak with them.
1:25:28
I came here to tell Joe that I wasn't going
to see Boys Town smashed.
1:25:31
That's what I came here for.
1:25:32
I told him I wasn't going to give him up,
Father. That's all.
1:25:35
I told him I was going straight back to you
and tell the truth.
1:25:37
But these other two guys, they held me
here. They wouldn't let me go.
1:25:42
Quiet.
1:25:43
That's the truth about tonight.
1:25:44
I've been good and rotten at Boys Town,
but that's the truth about tonight, Father.
1:25:48
I couldn't squeal on my brother.
1:25:58
Eddie, shut your eyes.
1:26:01
Now open them again.
1:26:03
And this hand is paralyzed
from signing for registered letters.
1:26:05
$50,000.
1:26:07
And that gorgeous color, black.
1:26:09
You win.
1:26:12
What would it cost to build a dormitory
for 500 boys?
1:26:16
One quarter of a million dollars.
1:26:22
Come on, sit.
1:26:30
Boys, I have a startling thing
to say to you.
1:26:35
In our midst is a lad
who has refused to act as an official here.
1:26:40
Now that is reprehensible.
1:26:42
He is notoriously shy, a shrinking violet.
1:26:47
But...
1:26:48
no excuse is good enough
for refusing duty when Boys Town calls.
1:26:54
The present Mayor, Tony Ponessa...
1:26:56
and the rest of the candidates
agree with me.
1:26:59
No boy can sidestep the call of duty.
