- Fire laws.
- Nonsense.
:32:03
No, ma'am. No nonsense
at all. No, ma'am.
:32:05
"Ma'am" is a contraction for "madam".
I am not a madam,
:32:08
a calibre of woman I'm sure you
know well and do business with.
:32:12
How many have been put out
of business by fire laws?
:32:14
- Your tent holds over 1,000 people...
- Captain, this is Mr Lefferts,
:32:18
- a reporter for the Zenith Times-DisPatch
- Zenith? Welcome. This is Fire Chief...
:32:22
Isn't it a fact, Mr Lefferts, that the whisky
big shots want me closed down?
:32:26
They certainly don't think
you do their business any good.
:32:29
Know why? I'm not afraid to fight whisky
and repeal with police help or without it.
:32:34
- If you're accusing me of not...
- I am. Do you enforce Prohibition?
:32:38
I certainly do.
:32:39
How many speakeasies could you
take the captain to in his home town?
:32:42
- Without a membership card? 50.
- Fire laws!
:32:46
Do you see any of my workmen smoking?
:32:48
Do you mind? This might start a fire.
:32:51
- If they don't smoke inside...
- You're welcome to see tonight.
:32:54
A little bit of salvation
will do you both some good.
:33:00
Sister Sharon! Never did I ever see
anybody handle the cops the way you did.
:33:04
All right. What's this terrific idea
you woke up with?
:33:08
Yes, well... How would it be if I addressed
your meetin' as a saved businessman?
:33:12
I could talk on the hard,
practical dollars-and-cents value
:33:16
of Christ in commerce.
:33:19
Tom, slacken off that rope. It's too tight.
:33:21
By the way, what is
your business? Hold-ups?
:33:24
You're a card. I sell
for Central Appliances.
:33:26
- Don't you like your job?
- Why, sure. It's a great life.
:33:30
I'm their crack salesman. Only last month
they wanted to make me a junior partner.
:33:34
Would you believe that people in 14 states
call me by my first name? Elmer.
:33:42
No use kiddin' you, is there?
It's no life at all.
:33:46
Filthy, dreary hotel rooms.
Always chasin' trains.
:33:50
Always tellin' dirty stories
to keep the buyers laughin'.
:33:55
Always the pint bottle
to prove you're a sport.
:33:58
That kind of fella's no success at all.
He's just a tramp in a silk shirt.
