in Stark's ideas
on health and medicine.
You know hospital conditions.
They're intolerable.
l'd like to meet him.
He sounds like an honest man.
Honest man?
This state is full of log-cabin
Abe Lincolns with price tags on them.
The louder he yells,
the higher his price.
You think you can buy anything.
Yes, don't you?
What do you think, Judge?
-This state could stand a few changes.
-l'll tell you what l think.
Please.
Let's not talk politics.
Anne is right.
l absolutely forbid any more of it.
l know what we need.
We need another toast.
You propose it, Monty.
You're so good at it.
To the young people.
To Anne, to Jack, to Adam.
To what lies before them.
To the world they'll make,
in spite of the mistakes we've made.
The mistakes you've made, not me.
You're all still pretty
high and mighty, aren't you?
You think this state needs a change.
You don't like how it's run.
Who's going to run it?
Willie Stark, the Judge, you?
You can be bought too.
ln fact, you have been.
And with my money.
That's a waste of good liquor, boy.
Your mother wouldn't approve.
-You go back and apologize.
-l'd rather die.
-l've got to live with him.
-You don't love him.
Don't spoil anything.
He can help.
You need this house
and the parties...
...the cars, the clothes, the lies.
l don't.
lt's the truth, face it.
For once in your life, face it.
Anne, please.
Make him understand.
Burden's Landing is
a place on the moon.
lt isn't real.
lt doesn't exist.
lt's me, pretending
l live on what l earn.
lt's my mother,
trying to keep herself young...
...and drinking herself old doing it.
lt's you and Adam living here
as if your father were still alive.
lt's an old man like the Judge,
dreaming of the past.
Anne, come away with me.
And do what?
Live in a shack and eat red beans.
What do you want me to do?
You haven't been sure. You've gone
from one thing to the other.
A year at law school,
this job as a reporter.
-Are you afraid l can't make a living?
-No, it isn't that.
l don't care about the money.
lt's just that
l want you to be something.
-What is it you want me to be?
-l don't know.
l want you to be,
to do something important.
Like your father?
All right, l'll run for governor.
Anne, l'm sorry.
l'm sorry l said that.
All right, Jack.
l'll go away with you.
l'll do anything you want me to.
l've wanted you to say that
more than anything in the world.
And now that you have said it--
l guess you were right.
l'm not sure of anything,
including myself.
l'm not sure l could live up to the--
Wait for me.
Please wait for me.
l'll wait for you.
Hello, Jack.
Cut your vacation short, didn't you?
By the way, Jack...
...the fellow you wrote
the articles about, Stark.
He lost.
l guess that's the end
of Willie Stark.
The measure of the damages
is caused by--
A breach.
-A breach.
-Of an agreement.
-To sell personal property.
-To sell....
-Two years of this!
-Go on, Willie.
''Willie Stark.
Bachelor of Law.''
lf you'll let me take your case...
...l'll wait for my fee
just as long as you want me to.
They won't kick me around.
If you Iose, you can study
your Iaw books more.
I'II be on that street tomorrow!
By aII means.
Free speech, free country.
That factory's owned by
a brother-in-Iaw of a commissioner.
The commissioners rejected
the Iow bid on the schooIhouse.
All right, children,
this is a fire drill.
Remember now, walk.
Quietly.
''Verily l say unto you...
...except ye turn
and become as little children...
...ye shall in no wise
enter the kingdom of heaven.''
Let us pray.
''The grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ
and the love of God...
...and the Holy Spirit
be with us all evermore.''
Amen.
Lord, l'm punished for voting
against an honest man.
God bless you.
-lf we'd only listened.
-We'll never forget.
You were right.
-Let me shake your hand.
-We should have listened.
You were right all the time.
