that I could raise my birds.
1:18:05
That pledge has been broken.
1:18:07
- As far as I'm concerned, all bets are off.
- That sounds like a threat.

1:18:12
Warden, you just got through
tellin' me that I ain't very important.

1:18:16
How could I threaten a big,
powerful Washington bureau?

1:18:22
I've been doin' a lot of thinkin', Mother.
1:18:25
I have a plan, and it might work.
1:18:28
What kind of a plan?
1:18:31
Do you remember how
you saved my neck in 1920?

1:18:36
- Yes, but I don't see...
- Publicity. That's what did it.

1:18:40
I don't think I follow you.
1:18:42
How many bird owners
know I'm a convict?

1:18:47
- Just a few.
- Then we'll tell 'em.

1:18:51
We'll tell 'em how
they're gonna take my birds away.

1:18:54
We'll write to newspapers,
radio stations, commentators, columnists,

1:18:58
bird clubs, magazines.
1:19:00
We'll have people angry
from coast to coast.

1:19:03
Excellent, Robbie. Excellent.
1:19:06
We'll drive 'em right down the pike.
1:19:10
It'll be just like it was in the old days.
1:19:13
Just the two of us together,
fighting the world.

1:19:18
I've just been to see Bob,
and I smuggled out this.

1:19:22
It's instructions for the campaign.
1:19:27
Why should he give you this material?
1:19:30
The kind of thing he usually
entrusts to his mother.

1:19:33
Well, I don't know.
1:19:35
I guess that time was short.
It doesn't really matter, does it?

1:19:40
There's a great deal of copying
to be done. You'll follow my directions.

1:19:44
Yes, ma'am.
1:19:45
Start with letters to the bird clubs.
When you've finished I'll assign you more.

1:19:50
Yes, ma'am.
1:19:53
Here it is. Right here on the second page
of the Kansas City Star.

1:19:57
- Here.
- Oh, yes.
