judge. 
If there was anything left
at Burden's Landing, it was honor. 
I had to believe that. 
I want to ask you a question.
Was the judge ever broke?
Really broke?
Why do you want to know?
I don't.
But I've got to.
- Did he tell you...
- Did who tell me?
I don't know.
How should I know
if he was ever broke?
Come on, take this food
and start cooking.
- I'm hungry.
- I'm thirsty.
Bring some glasses quick.
It's been a long time
since I've played this thing.
- Let's wake up the ghost.
- Another glass, Anne, for a ghost.
Remember the last time I played this?
You and Anne were dancing.
Shall we dance?
Let's have a drink first.
Keep playing.
Anne and I want to hear this.
Don't we?
Adam.
Ghost.
And me.
What shall we drink to?
To Ghost?
To Adam.
To the director
of the new medical center.
Don't you ever stop working for him?
- I'm sorry.
- Well, I'm not.
What's wrong with being
director of the center?
Nothing, except
I'm not going to take it.
Why?
Because your uncle resigned?
That's partly it.
- There are other things.
- What other things?
You too?
Me too.
If Adam doesn't want
to discuss it, let's not.
- Let's discuss it.
- But calmly.
Calmly.
Go ahead.
Why do you think he wants me?
You're the best man for the job.
It has nothing to do with my name?
It could.
Let's grant that.
- That's your answer.
- No, it's not.
If that were the only answer,
I wouldn't be with him.
There's another side of it.
I learned something from him.
You can't make an omelet
without cracking eggs.
Or heads?
A hospital will be built
and the sick cared for.
At what price?
At any price.
Do you really believe that?
I really believe
that Stark wants to do good.
You do too.
It's a matter of method.
Many times, out of evil comes good.
Pain is evil.
As a doctor, you know that.
Pain is an evil, it is not evil.
It is not evil in itself.
Stark is evil.
The people of this state
don't think so.
How would they know?
Stark took over the newspapers
and radio stations.
Why be so afraid of criticism?
If Stark does good,
he should be interested in truth.
I don't see how
you can separate the two.
- Stark is not for me.
- No, Stark is not for you.
Well, what's for you?
Pride. That's all it is.
Foolish, stupid pride.
You've talked about what you could do
if somebody would build.
Somebody has,
and he's given it to you.
But he's not for you.
No, he's not for you.
Will I find anything, Judge? 
Will I? 
I didn't find it all at once. 
Takes a long time to go through
old records and musty deeds. 
A very long time. 
But it wasn't too hard for me. 
I was well-trained in research. 
Especially this kind. 
I found what I didn't want to find. 
Have some photostat copies
made of these.
I'll be back tomorrow for them.
- Who is it?
- It's me, Sadie Burke.
Wait a minute.
All right, come in.
Awful lot of smoke.
Awful lot of whiskey.
You sober?
Stone.
I'll have one with you.
What are you hiding out for?
- I've been sleeping.
- For four days?
You've been back in town
for four days.
- Willie knows everything.
- Willie's worried about his boy.
Willie's boy is worried
about Willie's boy.
Why don't you put a mean blues
on the phonograph?
Play it until you get sick of it,
then go back to work.
- I do it.
- That's not my problem.
No, it isn't your problem.
I'll wait for you
if you want to powder your nose.
I'll be with you in a minute.
I can see it.
I've got to look
in the mirror to see it.
Soft, white skin.
Not like mine.
I had smallpox when I was a kid.
Where I lived, it seemed nearly
all the kids had smallpox.
It leaves your face hard.
And she's got poise.
Look at the way she holds her head
at just the right angle.
That takes training.
That takes years of training.
I see what Willie sees.
- Willie's got big ideas.
- What?
A girl like that could be
a
