"They're in the conference room." "Who showed up?" "Mr. Nelson, Mr. Lansing, Mr. Cole, Mr. Theilin" "Mr. Blount and Mr. Tucker." "You never forget a name, do you?" " No." " What about the faces?" " You forget those?" " I do my best." "Hello, Brad." " Hi." " Hello." " Jerry." " Steve, how are you?" "J.T., how are you?" "I'm in a hurry and I won't have time to go over the agenda." "Jerry Blount will take over in my absence and follow through." " You're leavin' town?" " I'm going on a trip." "Not business." "Uh, private matter." "I don't know where it'll take me or how long" "But wherever it is, I'm going." "Jerry will act as president" "And chairman of the board while I'm away." " Where can we contact you?" " Can't." "We just made contracts with half the United Nations..." "All the details are right here in these folders." " I've had them written out." " What's the rush?" "Some unfinished business that needed doing for a long time." "Something I have to do myself." "Well, I've gotta get going." "Steve, uh, could you tell us" "How long this unfinished business is gonna take?" "Until it's finished." "Well, make yourselves at home." "You know where the cigars and liquor are." "You're not taking that rocket ship to the moon are you?" "If I have to, I'll take it." "[Indistinct chattering]" " You boys lose a ball game?" " Uh-huh." "I lost." "How'd you do that?" "I dropped the ball." "You think nobody ever dropped one before?" "I was in the end zone, all alone." "Smitty laid it right in my hands." "It was a perfect pass." "I had it." "I had it all, then I had nothin'." "I had the ball game." "Then I had a great big hand full of nothin'." " You ever hold on to any?" " Yeah, plenty." "Try to remember those." "Some people never forget the one they dropped." "[Engine revving]" "That football team looked pretty sad." " I don't know why." " They got beat, didn't they?" "Yeah, but you think they sort of get used to it." "They ain't won one in two years." "Now, 20 years ago, they whipped everything in sight." "But they had themselves a coach then." " Fuller?" " That's right." " What happened to him?" " Turned his suit in." "Oh, ten years ago." " You play for him?" " One year." "Bradford?" " You got a memory." " Well, it's all I got." "Yeah, you used to squirt through that line" "Like a little greased pig." "Yeah, didn't I though." "Hmm... hasn't changed much." "Nothing changes here, but the faces, ha." " Oh, that's two..." " Buy yourself some teeth." "I was thinking to go out the way I come in." "Thanks." "Check me in, will you?" "Steven Bradford." "Yes, sir." "[Engine revving]" "[Children chattering]" "(Child #1) 'Hey, mister!" "'" "[All clamoring]" "[Typewriter keys clacking]" " May I help you?" " I'd like some information." "About an adoption?" "Yes, a long time ago." "About 20 years." "I'm sorry, we're not at liberty to give out that information." "Um, who is?" "I think, perhaps, you better talk to Miss Dempster." "Suzie." "This gentleman would like to talk to Miss Dempster." "There's someone here to see Miss Dempster." "Oh, I see." "She thinks you're the man she's expecting" "But you haven't got your wife with you." " Or anywhere else." " I thought so." "You thought what?" "You're not the man she's expecting." " Why didn't you tell her?" " You didn't give me your name." " Bradford." " You're not him." "Yeah, I know that now." " What's your name?" " Suzie Keller." "[Babies crying]" "Miss Dempster." "This is the man." "Oh, you're not Mr. Callahan, I'm so glad." "Suzie, put the diapers away and get some safety pins." "You hear all about Franklin, Watt and Einstein" "But never about the man who invented the safety pin." "Probably a woman." "Oh, no." "Women never invent anything, except men." "Uh, that's a saying." "Shall we go into my office?" "It's feeding time." "It isn't always this noisy." "No worse then a blast furnace." "We're placing a baby today." "We always get so excited." "Thought you might be the Callahan's and we're not ready." " Please sit down." " Thank you." " Want some coffee?" " Please, black." "Let's see." "Your name, uh..." "Steven Bradford." "Well, what can I do for you, Mr. Bradford?" "You can give me some information." "About what?" "About a boy born here." " Out of Wedlock?" " Yes." "And what is your interest in him?" "I'm his father." "How long ago was this?" "Twenty years." "And you want to find him after 20 years." "Why?" "'Cause he's my son." "You're married?" "No." "Why did it take you so long?" "Because it took a long time to get what I wanted." "And now you've got what you wanted." "Yeah." "I got it and something else." "I got older, and I got lonely." "I made a mistake..." "And I carried it around with me like a..." "Like a healed over sore for a long time." "And then it began to hurt." "Hurt badly." "And now I got to find him." "That simple." "But for 20 years you didn't." "And for 20 years he didn't look for you." "I'm afraid it isn't this simple is all that." "The adoption laws are very strict." "They preclude giving out any information" "In order to protect the foster parents and the child." "Protect them from what?" "From me?" "From what I can give him?" "I'm telling you the law, Mr. Bradford." "Now, let me tell you about me." "Law or no law, he's my son" "And I'm going to find him." "Miss Dempster, they're here." "'The Callahans.'" "Alright, show them into the living room." "I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me." "Some parents have come for their baby." "I, uh..." "I really don't see much point in your waiting." "But I do." "Alright." "Then have some more coffee." "Mr. and Mrs. Callahan, come in." "Your daughter is waiting for you." "(Miss Dempster) 'Isn't she lovely?" "'" "[Babbling]" "Well, pick her up."

"They'll give away my baby." "How old are you?" "Six-sixteen." "They can't do it." "They can't." "Come on, come on, girl." "Come on." "Nobody's done anything yet." "Here." "(Steve) 'Now, don't cry about tomorrow.'" "Wait till it's yesterday." "I'm sorry." " Sixteen!" " Yes." "She came here one morning with wagon." "Hitchhiked all the way from Oklahoma." "She will stay here until they decide what to do with her." " What will that be?" " I don't know." "If her parents won't take her back" "Then we'll take her case to the juvenile court." "She's a minor." "What was her name?" "Your girl." " My girl?" " Wasn't she?" "Oh!" "Emily Haver." "Emily Haver." "Haver." "Oh, yes, I remember her." "She was one of my first cases." "Yes, I remember her." "Of course, of course." "We both remember." "Miss Dempster, I came here to find my son" "Not to open old scrapbooks." "I've seen how good it is for the Callahan's" "And how very bad it is for little Suzie Keller." "If you just give me a name and an address" "I'll try to do something about it." "Well, I-I'm not sure what our records will show." "It-it's been a long time." "It'd have to be looked up." "They may even be lost." "What would it take to find them?" "Well, you're a very important and probably a very busy man." "Why don't you return to your business?" "I'll look things up and then I'll get..." "Miss Dempster, let us understand each other." "I've got nothing else to do and nowhere else to be." "And I've got a lot of two things." "Time and money." "And I'll use either one or both." "Whatever it takes." "You know, I could've sent somebody to do this for me." "And they would've gone about it quite differently." " How?" " Bought it." "Bought the records, the court." "Maybe even this place." "Maybe even you." "What in the world would you do with me?" "Take you to dinner." "How 'bout it?" "Is that the way you got what you wanted?" " Just bought it?" " Better than stealing isn't it?" "Yes, when it's not the same." "I-I'm sorry, I couldn't..." "Uh, one of the nurses is quite ill and..." "How 'bout having dinner with Suzie and me at my house?" " What time?" " Seven." "I'll be there." "Oh, you know, uh..." "I really didn't mean that everything was for sale." "I know that." " How do you know that?" " Because I don't think you are." "And that, that little girl, she's desperate." "She wants her kid." "Would give anything for it." "You know?" "So would I. I want mine." "[Doorbell rings]" " Oh!" "Come in, Mr. Bradford." " Thank you, Suzie." " Ann isn't here yet." " Who?" "Miss Dempster." "She had to go back to the nursery for a while." "She said if she wasn't back by 7:30" "We were to go ahead and eat without her." " Would you care to sit down?" " Mm-hmm." "Here's the gazette." " Where are you going?" " I have to watch the dinner." "I'll watch it with you." " Well, it's all ready." " She must be a very busy woman." "She never stops." "Something's always coming up and she always has to be there." "They called from the nursery tonight." "One of the babies was sick." "It wasn't anything much" "And the doctor was already there." "But she had to go anyway." "To see for herself, I guess." "She's wonderful." "You like her, don't you?" "You don't like her, you shouldn't have been born." " Would you like some?" " Hmm." "Thank you." "Did, did you come here to adopt?" "No, no." "Tell me about you." "I'd like to hear." "Really I would." "Well, I-I was going to this private school" "That's near my home." " Mm-hmm." " In Becker Township." "In the oil fields, where everybody's so rich, you know." "Hmm." "So I began going with this boy and..." "Well, our parents... his and mine haven't spoken for years." "So we had to meet each other secretly." " Mm-hmm." " You know, make rendezvous." "Yeah." "Then he said he loved me and..." "He was going in the air force." "He was a jet pilot." "Why didn't you get married?" "We were going to on his next leave, but..." "He never came home." "Mm-hmm." "What about your parents?" "I couldn't disgrace them." "It would've ruined them." "My mother was so... proud and beautiful." "And your father?" "My father?" "Dad was a big business executive." "He had hundreds of oil wells" "And everybody knew him and looked up to him." "Hmm." "Something like you." "So, you, uh, you couldn't marry the boy?" "No, I couldn't." "The Montagues and the Capulets." "Hmm?" "The Hatfields and McCoys." "Oh." "Suppose we eat and forget, hmm?" "I-I guess we might as well." "Serve it up." "[Sniffling]" "Suzie, Suzie." "You've been a long time, a lot of years to get over it." "But I won't." "I never will." "I should be the one to know it." "Now, come on, come on." "Chicken's getting cold." "What on earth are you doing?" "Paying for my supper." " Where's Suzie?" " Sent her to a movie." "Well, sit down here." "Food's in the oven." " Ah!" "Ooh!" " Put some butter on it." " No, it's nothing." " Do it." " How's the baby?" " Fine." "I rocked him to sleep." "I was sorry I couldn't get here." "Was it a good dinner?" "The best." "Ha, she's a nice little girl." " Suzie?" " Hmm." "The welfare bureau called about her today." "They're taking her case" "To the juvenile court tomorrow at two." "What are they gonna do about it?" "I don't know." "What are you gonna do about me?" "I've been thinking about that." "Mm-hmm." "And what have you decided?" "Nothing." "Just like that?" "No, I've been thinking hard about it." "Don't you realize he's a grown man now?" "Nobody you know." "Don't you know he has parents he loves and respects" "Who raised him and made him what he is?" " What is he?" " A fine young man." "Go on." "He came here once looking for his mother." "Did you ever look for her?" " No." " He wasn't looking for you." "Did he find her?" "He just wanted to know if she was alright." "If, if there was anything he could do." "Because of this nice sentimental dream world in which you live" "You're gonna ask me to forget it and go about my business?" "I think so." "Hmm." "Well, then this I've gotta tell you." "I don't live in a world of dreams and sentiment." "And I'm already about my business." "And, I may add" "I've got a reputation for getting my business done." "Whatever it takes." "And I'll get this done too." "I wish you could understand." "We couldn't operate the way you want us to." "We did it once, we might have to do it again." "That might be bad." "It-it just can't be." "Don't you see?" "Some things you can never pay for." "I've never found them." "I'm sorry." "Well, thanks for the dinner." "You've made some mistakes in your time, haven't you?" "Too many." "Uh, they tell me you need a new dormitory." " Need it badly." " We do." "And it'll take quite a piece of money." "Like say, fifty or a hundred thousand." "Well, let's just say it's more than we have." "But you want it." "From you?" "What's the difference?" "You need it badly." "They do too." "You'll do anything for them." "You miss your dinner, your sleep." "Miss your life for them." "Are you too noble to stoop a little for them?" "Oh, that is neither." "You need new buildings, new equipment, new everything." "You're in hot for half of what you've got now." "That just isn't it." "Bye, Mr. Bradford." "Not quite." "Goodnight." "Well, it isn't often we have" "So distinguished a visitor in our town." "[Chuckling]" "Uh, may I ask how you came to... select me?" "Well, you're the most important lawyer." "That's common knowledge." "Well, I have practiced here for a long time." "And my father, before me." "I might go so far as to say..." "Ah, have you gone over the case?" " Case?" " Hmm." " Oh, uh, y-yes." "Certainly." " Uh, what can you do?" "Well, first..." "I cannot avoid wondering" "If you are pursuing the proper logic, uh, in this matter." " Price is no object." " As I quite understand." "Uh, but you see, this boy was legally adopted years ago." "And by now, presumably, has made his own life." "I've been told that by amateurs." "Yes." "Well, there is actually no way of successfully reopening" "Such a case without applying to the superior court." "And I, personally, am exceedingly dubious..." " You're dubious?" " Yes, under the circumstances." "You're dubious that you can do anything?" "Mr. Bradford, you must understand." "I already do." "Thank you very much for your trouble." "Well, Mr. Bradford." "[Bell rings]" "[Car honking]" "(Male #1) You're blind or somethin'?" "Just a second, mister." "Trying to get yourself killed?" "Not at this late date." "Ah, you look like you ought to know better."

"We don't like to book strangers here." "But... we got traffic lights just like where you come from." "Now, you go ahead and watch your step." "Like a good boy?" "Like a good boy."

"Well, Jim, you may not be the smartest lawyer in the country." "I'm not." "However, you certainly are the sharpest." " Well, that's possible." " Hmm, that's what I need." " Money is no object." " Not if you call me." "Well, here it is." "Twenty years ago I fathered a son." " You what?" " Yes." "And I didn't marry the girl." "I didn't want any part of it at that time." "Well, uh, she went to the Haven." "You saw the place." "She had the child there and... gave it away for adoption." "That was twenty years ago." "Now I want the boy." "Where is she?" " Dead." " Oh." " You've seen a lawyer?" " Mm-hmm." "A local windbag named Spottsford." "And they wouldn't give you any information regarding the boy." "No, no." "None, none."

"Ah, yeah." "I know." "Well, uh, what about her palm?" " No, not a chance." " No?" " No." " Hmm." " Well, that's the law, Steve." " That's what I know." "That's why I sent for you." "Well, when you've been practicing as long as I have" "You realize that there are" "Various interpretations of the law" "And we might find a loophole." "Find one." "I'll, uh, have to work with this local chap..." " What?" "Spottsford?" " Spottsford." "Don't care whom you work with or how you work it but get it done." " Hmm." "Twenty years, huh?" " Mm-hmm." "What happened to you?" "What took you so long?" " What's the difference?" " Well, it might matter." "Well, shall we say, uh..." "I was busy?" "That enough?" "Doesn't help me much, but apparently, it was." "I'll, uh, see this Spottsford then" "And, uh, examine the law and some of his connections." "I can do wonders with a few million dollars." "I can't." "Your talent is for making it, not using it." "Swell, Spottsford." "Oh, hi, Mr. Bradford." "Suzie." "Let me help you with those." " Where are these going?" " Miss Dempster's." " Oh!" " That's bad luck." "Only when it lands on your head." " Feel it in the air, can't you?" " What's that?" " Christmas." " I hadn't noticed." "Guess when you're rich, Christmas is all the time." "Why?" "Every day you can have anything you want." "You mean anything you could buy?" "You don't have to walk all this way with me." "I'm going that way." "Tell me, why do you like Christmas?" "Well, it's, it's for a child." "And it turns everybody into children." "Hmm, instead of old folks like you." " I'm older than you think." " How old is that?" "I'm almost a mother." "[Bell rings]" "Hi, Suzie." "Well, Mr. Bradford, I heard you left town." "I did." "But I came back to take you out to dinner." "That's very nice of you, but Suzie and I are about to..." "I owe you a dinner." "Let's go out." "Oh, I'm afraid I couldn't." "I have some shopping to do." "We can do that too." "Yes, but I have all these cards to sign." "I can sign them." "What is this?" "A conspiracy?" "No, thank you." "I might be needed here." " I can call you." " It is a conspiracy." "Well, uh, can I change my face?" "But not too much." " I'll only be a minute." " I'll go with you." "Can I help you?" "I'd like to see some cashmere sweaters, size 38." "Oh, surely." "Right over here, miss." "I think I'll take this." "Would you please wrap it for mailing?" "Surely." "[Rings]" "May I help you?" " May I see those please?" " These?" " Please." " Aren't they lovely?" "Those are gold." "Real pearls." " How much are they?" " Forty five ninety five." "I'll take them." "Alright." "Would you like it gift wrapped?" " No, I'll wrap it myself." " Fine." " Almost ready." " Mm-hmm." " Your change, sir." " Thanks very much." " Anything else?" " No, thank you so much." " Here you are." " Thank you." "Thank you." "They're very pretty." "Mm-hmm, it ought to be." "Paid a dollar 98 for them." " Who are they for?" " Suzie." "Give it to her, will you?" " Why don't you?" " No, you do it." "Uh, would you mind if we didn't go out to dinner?" "I certainly would." "What I meant was, we could go home" "I could get this gift in the mail." "There's cold ham, chicken, cheese." "That's for me?" "We'll make it a kitchen picnic." "I'm a picnic fellow." "Well, uh, do you always work?" " Don't you ever play?" " Do you?" "Only the stock market." "But I was talked into a hunting trip once." "We took a safari into Kenya." "Hmm, we had everything." "Stoves, ice, penicillin." "Even a spinet piano." "We were sporting good store and a social club on wheels." " Cost me $30,000." " What for?" " To shoot a poor mangy lion." " Did you shoot one?" "No, the guy had shot him." "I couldn't hit a barn from the inside." " You haven't answered me." " What?" "Oh, oh!" "Play." "Well, work is play if you like it." "It becomes kind of a game." "It has more meaning even when you lose." "This is your whole life isn't it?" "No, not exactly." "Haven is just one place." "There are many places like this." "There are 100's of girls who go to them because..." "Well, they haven't any other place to go." "They're the doorsteps of the world" "Where children are abandoned." "You can't imagine how often or how many." "But you can imagine what it feels like" "To find a home for a child that..." "Alright, it's alright." "Goes on all the time, everywhere." "And very few people give it much thought." "Even those who could help, who could do something." " They're shooting lions." " No, no." "I guess it's just that most people have enough trouble" "One way or the other without looking for anymore." "Well..." "What I mean is, I guess it's just that I believe" "Any child is really everybody's child." "That's a nice thought." "We try to make it a little more than that." " How long have you been here?" " I was born here." "Oh, well..." "This is more than an idealistic dream to you then." "Yeah, it must be." "You sacrificed your life for it." "No, I don't." "It is my life." "Yeah." "You know where I went, out of town?" "Where?" "Looking for her." "To a small New England village after 20 years." "An old man looking for a boy he lost..." "And a girl he didn't know he loved, until it was too late." "You know she's dead?" " I know." " 'You didn't tell me.'" " You never asked." " Yeah." "I never bothered until I wanted something for myself." "Do you know what her sister said?" "She said, "Let well enough alone." ""Don't bring us your mistake, mister." ""Let her remain a mistake forever." "Keep it." "It's yours."" " I don't think she meant that." " She said it." "So did you." "I didn't mean that either." " What did you mean?" " I-I meant that..." "I meant that doing this one thing for you is not good" "If it's bad for all the others." "For the thousands I spoke about." "'You see, you're just thinking about yourself which is... '" "Which is, mm-hmm, how I got this way." " Par for the course." " Well..." "You told me." "You told me." "But I'm not one of 10,000 guys." "I'm not a drifter." "I'm not a failure." "I'm not looking for him to take something from him." "I know that." "That should make a difference, shouldn't it?" "Mr. Bradford, I..." "[Telephone ringing]" "Excuse me." "Hello." "Yes." "Something wrong?" "Very wrong." " What is it?" " You better ask your lawyer." "Oh." "Goodnight, Mr. Bradford." " Goodnight and thanks." " Thank you." "Well, I thought I'd find you here." "Not much choice in this town." "Just spent the evening with Dempster." "I took her shopping, had dinner with her." "I'm getting along fine." "When suddenly she was called to the phone." "When she came back into the room" "She looked at me like I'd poisoned her coffee." "I wondered what had happened." "I asked what was the matter?" "She said, "Ask your lawyer."" "You see, Steve, you've been trying to be your own lawyer." "We have a saying that any man who does that" "Has a fool for a client." " Have a drink." " No, no." "Well, I spent the afternoon with Mr. Leland G. Spottsford." " Mm-hmm." " Mm-hmm." "And you're right." "He's an idiot." "So we've found out he's an idiot." " Mm-hmm." " What else?" "The loophole." "You can get into court?" " Mm-hmm." " Can you win?" "I wouldn't go in if I thought I couldn't." "Good." "I'm not so sure that it's good." "Why do you say that?" "Because even if you win, you lose." "Lose what?" "Look, Steve, I'm just trying to put it nicely." " Oh, just say it." " Alright." "You're a big man in this country." "You're raking up a mess and you're gonna wear it in court." "A nice juicy scandal for everybody's breakfast." "Tycoon, Steven Bradford has an illegitimate son" "He deserted 20 years ago." "You'll hurt yourself and you'll hurt the boy." "Do you think what I can do for him will hurt the boy?" "Do you think I'm hurting him?" "Look, I'm a lawyer, not a padre." "I'm merely trying to explain how unpleasant it may be." "And I'm just wondering if you want the boy that much." "Yes, that much." "It's a little hard to believe." "It isn't Spottsford." "And today it's lawyer Rayburn from New York." "Rayburn's a famous lawyer and a brilliant one." " And he found a loophole?" " Something." "Then it's up to us to find one too." " I suppose." " I don't." "I know." "I confess I can't quite understand Mr. Bradford." "He's famous too, and rich." "When he goes to court, he makes his whole life public." "Why?" "Because that's how he got where he is." "Once he starts, he'll stop at nothing." " And, Roy..." " Yeah?" "Neither will I." "I don't know." "Law is made out of reason and justice." "In a ton of it there isn't an ounce of love." "Oh, yes, there is." "The love of justice itself." "Well, I'll be going now." " Goodnight, Ann." " Goodnight." "[Slow music]" "Oh, thank you, Suzie." "You better go home to bed." "Mr. Bradford, he isn't what you think he is." "Oh, I'm not blaming him, darling." "I'm fighting him." "It isn't a matter of him or me." "It's a matter of lots of others."
