1:39:05
I don't know.
1:39:10
I appreciate your candour,
Mr Turner.
1:39:14
And I hope that you can appreciate...
1:39:17
Would somebody please tell me
what is going on out there?
1:39:26
The Federal courthouse is surrounded
1:39:29
by what appears to be
every mail truck in the Southland.
1:39:32
Outside the Federal courthouse,
traffic is at a standstill.
1:39:36
Tom in jail, no mail.
1:39:43
Your Honour, you're gonna have to
see it to believe it.
1:39:48
There must be 1,000 postal trucks
out there.
1:39:51
That's a damn miracle.
1:39:55
Let go of me.
1:39:56
I am Postmaster General
Preston Sweeny.
1:40:00
Sure! I'm Shaquille O'Neal,
this is Michael Jordan,
1:40:03
but you still can't go in.
1:40:04
I flew in from Washington.
I left a party to come here.
1:40:09
He is the Postmaster General! Sorry.
1:40:12
Thank you very much.
I'll remember you. Let go of me!
1:40:16
Mr Sweeny, let's have a photograph!
1:40:19
- We met at your daughter's wedding.
- She's divorced.
1:40:22
It's the day before Christmas, I got
30 million pieces of mail backed up.
1:40:28
Fruitcakes are rotting all over
this country. Do something.
1:40:31
- Don't tell me what to do.
- Tom Turner, the defendant.
1:40:35
My client might plead no contest
to one count of unauthorised...
1:40:40
- Miracle doings.
- Are you nuts? Forget it!
1:40:43
Since he passed his postal exam,
1:40:45
I move that all charges
be now erased from his record.
1:40:49
Free Tom T!
1:40:55
They seem to like Tom, Your Honour.
1:40:58
The mail must be delivered. Please.
