Yes?
1:21:02
You see, under the laws of the Treaty
of Paris and the Louisiana Purchase,

1:21:06
all a man and woman had to do to be
legally married was to sign a declaration.

1:21:11
You see, Leavenworth
is still federal property

1:21:14
and is therefore immune to
the laws of the state of Kansas.

It's all here, sir, if you want to read it.

Stroud got his front page - and with
a bang heard all the way to Washington.

1:21:34
Result: one of the strangest
conferences in prison history.

1:21:51
The warden's on his way right now.
1:22:09
- Hello, Bob.
- Hello, Harvey.

1:22:19
Well, you've succeeded in creating
quite a little flurry with your birds.

1:22:23
Just an inmate protecting his rights.
Would you like to sit down?

1:22:28
Yes, thanks.
1:22:34
Bob... I've been sent here as a delegate
of the bureau to make you an offer.

1:22:40
That's what I've been waiting for.
1:22:42

keep your birds. You can even sell 'em.

1:22:47
Now this is their official proposal.
1:22:50
You can continue
to raise and sell the birds,

1:22:53
but the profits will be turned over
to the prison welfare fund,

1:22:56
and you will receive a salary
in the form of a share of the profits.
