- Bob.
- I'm gonna wallop you today.
1:52:09
Congratulations on
the publication of your book.
1:52:11
Yeah, it's a honey. It should sell big.
1:52:14
But that's all behind me now.
I've started writin' a new book.
1:52:18
The history of federal prisons from 1790
up to the formation of the bureau.
1:52:22
A story about caged men
rather than birds.
1:52:25
What prison does to 'em.
1:52:28
Got the idea from seein' an old friend.
1:52:32
- It's an ambitious undertaking, Bob.
- It'll knock the public cold.
1:52:36
Graft, corruption,
1:52:39
stupidity, sadism.
1:52:43
All the elements
of a best seller, eh, Father?
1:52:45
- It's a story that needs telling.
- And how!
1:52:49
You realise, of course,
it involves a certain element of risk.
1:52:55
I do indeed.
1:52:57
But you know somethin'?
1:53:01
When you've lived in these manure piles
for over 30 years, as I have,
1:53:04
you come to know everything's a risk.
1:53:07
Your serve.
1:53:12
- I wish you luck.
- It's worth the gamble.
1:53:57
I'm confiscating this manuscript, Bob.
