you are.
You're scared.
You sat for 30 years
and played at being a judge.
Then l put a bat in your hand
and said, ''Start swinging!''
You had a good time,
but now you're scared.
You don't want to get
your hands dirty.
You want to pick up the marbles
but not get dirty.
Look at my program. How do you
think l put that across?
l knew how but l never knew why.
You're not thinking of going over
to McMurphy, are you?
l'm through with politics.
l'm happy to hear that.
No hard feelings.
Goodbye, governor.
You coming with me?
You're making a mistake.
You think he means it when he says
he's through with politics?
No, l don't.
What about you?
l've known the judge all my life.
He's always meant
everything he's said.
All right, take it easy.
l'll take your word for it.
Sugar, take Miss Stanton home.
When am l going to see you again?
What's the matter?
Please take me home now.
-You've got to understand me.
-l understand you.
lt's myself l don't understand.
Do you think l like sneaking around?
But with the Pillsbury business
and your uncle quitting, a divorce--
Maybe we'd better stop
seeing each other.
We won't stop seeing each other,
will we?
Because you believe what l tell you.
Because l believe what you tell me.
Good evening, Governor Stark.
You might like to know that
Judge Stanton kept his promise.
He gave the story
to every paper in town.
Sugar, meet me at the hotel
as soon as you can.
These are serious charges...
...that Judge Stanton
has given to the press.
This legislature is entitled
to a complete and full report...
...on the Pillsbury affair.
Let the truth be known.
Let it come out.
-l move we adjourn.
-l second it.
All those in favor say ''aye.''
Motion carried.
House is adjourned.
You let Stark get away with
the graft, there's no telling--
We beat the Pillsbury rap.
lt's over.
These things are never over.
Tell you what l want you to do.
l want you to start
a new page in your book.
Under the name of Judge Stanton.
-There's nothing on him.
-Why?
Because his name is Stanton?
Easy.
What if l won't do it?
You know, some of this
has rubbed off on you.
What will you do?
Have me shot?
No, but l'll have
to get myself a new boy.
There's nothing on the judge.
There's something on everybody.
Man is conceived in sin
and born in corruption.
lt's a waste of time.
What's the matter?
You afraid you might find
something out?
I kept saying to myseIf
that WiIIie was wrong about the judge.
If there was anything Ieft
at Burden's Landing, it was honor.
I had to beIieve that.
l want to ask you a question.
Was the judge ever broke?
Really broke?
Why do you want to know?
l don't.
But l've got to.
-Did he tell you--
-Did who tell me?
l don't know.
How should l know
if he was ever broke?
Come on, take this food
and start cooking.
-l'm hungry.
-l'm thirsty.
Bring some glasses quick.
lt's been a long time
since l've played this thing.
-Let's wake up the ghost.
-Another glass, Anne, for a ghost.
Remember the last time l played this?
You and Anne were dancing.
Shall we dance?
Let's have a drink first.
Keep playing.
Anne and l 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?
-l'm sorry.
-Well, l'm not.
What's wrong with being
director of the center?
Nothing, except
l'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.
lf 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.
lt has nothing to do with my name?
lt could.
Let's grant that.
-That's your answer.
-No, it's not.
lf that were the only answer,
l wouldn't be with him.
There's another side of it.
l learned something from him.
You can't
