"WHAT DO YOU MEAN" "THE WINTERS AREN'T AS COLD AS THEY USED TO BE?" "WHAT ABOUT THAT BLIZZARD THAT SWEPT THE COUNTRY" "A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO?" "WELL, I'LL ADMIT IT WAS A LITTLE CHILLY." "YEAH." "BALEY, YOU KNOW HOW HARD WE TRY" "TO KEEP THIS A NICE, QUIET PLACE." "WASN'T ANYTHING MUCH - A LITTLE ARGUMENT OVER A GIRL." "BOTH OF THE BOYS HAD BEEN DRINKING." "HOW IS HE?" "HE'S STILL OUT."

"I HAD A FEW DRINKS, AND I HIT A GUY." "IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY." "YOU KNOW WHO THE BOY WAS?" "NO, I NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE." "ANYONE TOLD YOU HE DIED THIS MORNING?" "NOT JUST A BARROOM BRAWL NOW, JOE." "A MAN IS DEAD." "YOU DID IT." "WELL..." "IT..." "IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT." "HE'S STILL DEAD." "WHEN SOMEBODY GETS KILLED, SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY FOR IT." "THAT HAPPENS TO BE THE LAW, JOE." "HE STARTED IT." "YOU CAN ASK ANYONE WHO WAS THERE." "I HAVE." "THEY TOLD ME HE STARTED IT." "THAT'S WHAT KEEPS IT FROM BEING FIRST-DEGREE MURDER." "IT WAS JUST A ROTTEN BREAK."

"I'VE NEVER BEEN IN THIS KIND OF TROUBLE BEFORE." "THAT'S THE WAY THINGS WORK OUT SOMETIMES." "YOU'VE GOT A GOOD WAR RECORD, NO PREVIOUS ARRESTS," "BUT I'M STILL ON A JOB WHERE I HAVE TO PROSECUTE YOU." "YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, DON'T YOU?" "NO." "HOW COULD I UNDERSTAND?" "WELL, THAT'S THE WAY IT IS." "THAT'S ALL, JOE." "WELL, I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE JAIL NOW" "AND STAND TRIAL, HUH?" "YEAH." "YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT?" "I BELIEVE IT."

"IS YOUR LAWYER ANY GOOD?" "I HAVEN'T ANY IDEA." "IF HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING, YOU'LL STAND A GOOD CHANCE." "ONCE WE GET INTO COURT, I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANY BREAKS." "DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?" "YEAH, I SUPPOSE SO." "WHAT DO YOU THINK, EDDIE?" "TOUGH LUCK FOR HUFFORD." "BUT WHO ASKED HIM TO GO OUT AND GET DRUNK LAST NIGHT?" "WHO ASKED HIM TO GET IN A FIGHT?" "!" "SEND HIS ATTORNEY IN." "SEND HIM IN." "I'M VERNON BRADLEY OF BEEHAM AND BRADLEY AND NERNEY." "MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME, MR. BRADLEY." "THANK YOU." "CARE FOR A CIGAR?" "UH, NO." "NO, THANK YOU."

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HANDLING A CRIMINAL CASE?" "THE FIRM HUFFORD WORKS FOR IS ONE OF OUR LARGEST ACCOUNTS." "THEY HAVE ASKED US TO HANDLE IT." "I TALKED WITH MY CLIENT THIS MORNING." "WHAT DO YOU THINK?" "WELL, I THINK THE WHOLE THING'S VERY UNFORTUNATE." "I IMAGINE THE DEAD BOY WOULD FEEL THE SAME WAY." "UH..." "HUFFORD IMPRESSES ME AS BEING CLEAN-CUT AND SINCERE." "HE'S NEVER BEEN IN ANY TROUBLE BEFORE." "THE WHOLE THING MIGHT BE A CASE OF TEMPORARY INSANITY." "HAVE YOU EVER ACTUALLY HANDLED A CRIMINAL CASE BEFORE?" "I TOLD YOU WE WERE CORPORATION ATTORNEYS." "YOU ENTER A PLEA OF TEMPORARY INSANITY," "YOU'LL BE LAUGHED RIGHT OUT OF COURT." "I HAVE WITNESSES, MAN." "HE WASN'T INSANE." "HE WAS DRUNK." "IT'S MY CLIENT'S RIGHT TO ENTER WHATEVER PLEA HE CHOOSES." "IT'S ALSO YOUR CLIENT'S RIGHT TO SERVE 20 YEARS" "IF HIS CASE ISN'T HANDLED RIGHT." "WAIT A MINUTE." "IT'S JUST THAT YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT OUT OF YOUR FIELD." "I FEEL THAT HUFFORD'S HAD A BAD BREAK." "I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM GET A GOOD ONE NOW." "I'LL ACCEPT A PLEA OF MANSLAUGHTER." "THAT'S ONE TO 10 YEARS." "DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S STEEP?" "NO STEEPER THAN BEING DEAD ON A MORGUE SLAB." "BRADLEY, THIS IS NOT LIKE REORGANIZING A COMPANY." "A MAN'S DEAD." "SOMEBODY'S GOT TO PAY FOR IT." "LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IT SMART?" "WHY DON'T YOU CALL IN SOMEBODY LIKE CONWAY OR DASTRO?" "OUR FIRM IS NOT IN THE HABIT OF CALLING IN MEN LIKE THAT." "NO?" "DASTRO USED TO BE MY LAW PARTNER." "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING." "WE KNEW OUR WAY AROUND A COURTROOM." "DO YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW I'D HANDLE THIS CASE" "IF I WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE?" "I'D OBJECT ON ANY JUROR" "THAT DIDN'T HAVE A SON IN THE SERVICE." "I'D DRAG OUT HIS WAR RECORD." "I'D SPEND TWO DAYS ON IT." "I'D TAKE IT FROM THE DAY HE ENTERED BOOT CAMP" "TO THE DAY HE GOT HIS DECORATION IN OKINAWA." "THEN I'D PULL IN 50 CHARACTER WITNESSES," "FROM THE OLD LADY WHO'S KNOWN HIM SINCE HE WAS BORN" "TO HIS LAST COMMANDING OFFICER." "THEN I'D START IN ON INTENT." "WAS THERE ANY INTENT?" "I'D HARP ON IT TILL IT WAS COMING OUT OF THE JUDGE'S EARS." "YOU GOT ALL OF THAT, EDDIE?" "I'LL GIVE YOU A COPY." "THANK YOU, MR. KNOWLAND, BUT I DON'T THINK I SHALL NEED IT." "IT'S A LITTLE EMOTIONAL FOR ME." "I'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THE LAW IS PRETTY WELL STATED," "AND THAT THE LESS EMOTION BROUGHT INTO IT, THE BETTER." "THERE'S A LOT OF EMOTION CONNECTED WITH KILLING SOMEBODY." "SEEING YOUR CLIENT GO UP FOR A FEW YEARS HAS EVEN MORE." "WE SHALL TRY TO SEE TO IT THAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN." "GOODBYE, MR. KNOWLAND." "AND THANK YOU." "THERE GOES A FIRST-CLASS, DOUBLE-BREASTED" "OVERSTUFFED IDIOT!" "YEAH." "TOO BAD FOR HUFFORD." "YEAH." "HERE'S A CASE A JUNIOR LAW CLERK COULD WIN" "WITH AN I.Q. OF 50." "WHAT NOW, BOSS?" "TYPE THAT UP." "WE'LL PUT A COPY IN THE MAIL TO BRADLEY ANYWAY." "YOU'VE BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF KILLING YOUR FELLOW MAN." "MURDER WAS NOT YOUR INTENT," "BUT DRUNKENNESS IS NO EXCUSE FOR VIOLATION OF THE LAW." "THEREFORE, IT'S THE SENTENCE OF THIS COURT" "THAT YOU, JOE HUFFORD, BE IMPRISONED IN THE STATE PRISON" "FOR A TERM FROM ONE TO 10 YEARS." "COURT IS ADJOURNED." "EDDIE, I'VE HEARD OF PEOPLE BEING RAILROADED," "BUT NEVER BY THEIR OWN ATTORNEY." "I HEARD THAT, MR. KNOWLAND." "GOOD." "IT'S THE FIRST THING YOU HAVE HEARD." "YOU FUMBLED EVERY CHANCE I THREW YOU." "EVEN THE JUDGE WAS TRYING TO HELP, AND YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN." "LUCKY THEY DON'T CONVICT LAWYERS FOR INCOMPETENCE." "IF THERE WAS ANYTHING - I'M SORRY, SON." "I GUESS IT COULDN'T BE HELPED, DAD." "I'LL BE UP TO SEE YOU WHENEVER THEY'LL LET ME." "AND, JOE, I KNOW THIS ISN'T MUCH HELP," "BUT..." "I'LL TRY TO HAVE SOMETHING" "FOR YOU TO COME OUT TO." "WELL, THAT'LL HELP A LOT." "SO LONG." "SEE YOU SOON, THEN." "HOW DO YOU FEEL, DAD?" "LIKE GOING OUT AND GETTING DRUNK." "IT WAS PRETTY BAD." "IT'S THE FIRST TIME I EVER SAW YOU TRY TO LOSE A CASE." "I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT THAT, I GUESS." "HOW ABOUT LUNCH?" "SURE." "YOU KNOW, I'D SELL THIS JOB MIGHTY CHEAP RIGHT NOW." "NO, I WON'T PLAY CASINO WITH YOU." "WHY DON'T YOU LEARN SOME OF THE NEW GAMES?" "THEY DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE." "I'M SURPRISED YOU DON'T WANT TO PLAY OLD MAID." "THIS GUY DOESN'T THINK ANYTHING'S HAPPENED" "SINCE McKINLEY GOT SHOT." "IF YOU TRY TO TALK ABOUT ROOSEVELT," "HE THINKS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ROUGHRIDERS." "HOW'D YOU TWO GRAB THIS GRAVY TRIP?" "OH, I GOT SENIORITY." "I LIKE TO HAVE HIM ALONG TO ARGUE WITH." "YOU GOT A CIGARETTE?" "YEAH." "YOU'LL GET USED TO IT." "HOW LONG YOU UP FOR?" "ONE TO 10." "JUST A HOLIDAY WEEKEND." "YOU BEEN THERE BEFORE?" "THE BOYS RUN A REGULAR SHUTTLE SERVICE FOR ME." "WELL, YOU DON'T SEEM TO MIND IT." "I MIND PLENTY." "WAIT TILL YOUR NEXT TRIP." "WHO SAYS HE HAS TO MAKE MORE THAN ONE TRIP?" "I WASN'T PLANNING ON IT MYSELF." "WELL, THAT'S TOUGH, MALLOBY, BUT YOU DID BREAK PAROLE." "ONLY DOUGLAS WOULD'VE REPORTED IT " "OR SHOULD I SAY CAPTAIN DOUGLAS?" "CAPTAIN DOUGLAS, YOU'RE WANTED IN THE WARDEN'S OFFICE." "FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS," "YOU DON'T TOUCH THE MACHINES, UNDERSTAND?" "COME ON." "SHOW HIM WHAT TO DO WITH THE HAMPER." "YES, SIR." "AND NO TALKING." "FILL IT UP." "RIGHT FACE!" "FORWARD!" "IF THEY'D ONLY DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT JUST ONCE." "BE TWO MINUTES LATE LOCKIN' THE DOORS," "FORGET TO RING A BELL." "IT'S LIKE LOCKIN' UP ANIMALS." "YOU'VE ONLY BEEN HERE SIX MONTHS." "YOU JUST DON'T APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THEY DO FOR YOU HERE." "SURE, JOE, YOU WANT A LOT OF NOSY STRANGERS" "COMIN' AROUND ALL NIGHT?" "AND WOMEN BOTHERING YOU AT ALL HOURS?" "YOU HAVE A BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE?" "I SOLD EVERYTHING I MADE." "THAT'S THE IDEA, JOE." "YOU JUST KEEP WORKIN' AWAY IN THE LAUNDRY," "KEEP YOUR NOSE TO THE WET WASH, SO TO SPEAK," "AND ONE OF THESE DAYS, YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF AT THE TOP." "DOES IT SMELL ANY BETTER THAN AT THE BOTTOM?" "HOW LONG CAN A GUY LAST IN THAT PLACE?" "I NEVER KNEW ANYONE WHO WANTED TO TRY FOR THE RECORD." "LOOK, JOE, YOU COULD STILL GET A BREAK." "AFTER YOU'VE SERVED SIX MONTHS," "IT'S UP TO THE PAROLE BOARD AS TO HOW LONG YOU STAY IN HERE." "YEAH, I KNOW." "I COME UP BEFORE THE BOARD FOR SENTENCE TOMORROW." "HOW DO YOU KNOW?" "PONTI TOLD ME." "ARE YOU PALLING AROUND WITH PONTI NOW?" "HE PASSED ME A NOTE." "DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT GUY." "WHEN HE HANDS YOU A FAVOR WITH ONE HAND," "HE KNIFES YOU WITH THE OTHER." "NEVER MIND THAT." "THE IMPORTANT THING IS JOE'S SENTENCE." "WHY, HE COULD BE OUT OF HERE IN A LITTLE WHILE" "IF THEY'D TAKE IT EASY ON HIM." "WHAT'S THE USUAL SENTENCE?" "THE USUAL DOESN'T MATTER." "THE LAW SAYS ONE TO TEN YEARS." "WELL, TWO YEARS IS BETWEEN ONE AND TEN." "SO'S NINE." "MAYBE YOU'LL GET A BREAK." "LIKE YOU DID, HUH?" "IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN THAT WAY." "SURE, JOE." "YOU'VE ALREADY DONE SIX MONTHS." "SIX MONTHS." "I SPENT FOUR YEARS IN THE ARMY " "DIDN'T SEEM HALF AS LONG AS SIX MONTHS IN HERE." "THE CASE OF JOE HUFFORD." "MANSLAUGHTER." "YES, I WENT OVER THIS CASE LAST NIGHT." "THERE WERE CERTAIN EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES." "I FELT THAT, TOO." "THE BOY HE KILLED WAS OLD JOHN MITCHELL'S SON." "WELL, IT LOOKS PRETTY RUN-OF-THE-MILL." "I THOUGHT FIVE YEARS." "THAT MAKES HIM ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE IN THREE." "FIVE YEARS." "151 OKAY... 152 OKAY... 153 OKAY... 154 OKAY... 155 OKAY." "FROM YOUR FATHER, JOE?" "NO, IT'S FROM THE PEOPLE HE'S STAYING WITH." "HOW IS HE?" "NOT SO GOOD." "HE HASN'T BEEN OUTTA BED FOR THREE WEEKS." "ARE YOU REALLY GONNA TRY TO BREAK OUTTA HERE?" "SURE." "WHEN?" "I WAS TALKIN' TO PONTI TODAY." "WE FIGURE A WEEK FROM NEXT WEDNESDAY." "YOU GOIN' AHEAD WITH PONTI AFTER EVERYTHING I TOLD YOU?" "YOU NEVER TOLD ME ANYTHING." "YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T LIKE HIM." "I'LL TELL YOU PLENTY OF THINGS." "I'VE KNOWN THAT RAT FOR 15 YEARS." "WE DID TIME ONCE BEFORE TOGETHER." "YEAH, I KNOW THAT." "DO YOU KNOW HOW HE GOT OUT?" "HE SAID HE BUSTED OUT." "THAT'S A HOWL." "HE WAS IN ON A BREAK, SURE." "BUT WHEN THE TIME CAME," "THERE WAS 20 GUARDS WITH MACHINE GUNS" "WAITIN' FOR THEM." "THEY WENT DOWN LIKE LEAD SOLDIERS." "HOW DID PONTI GET AWAY?" "THROUGH THE WARDEN'S OFFICE WITH A PAROLE IN HIS HAND." "HE SQUEALED." "THAT WAS THE GENERAL IMPRESSION AT THE TIME." "ALL RIGHT, HE'S OUT." "THANKS, MALLOBY." "HOW 'BOUT ME BEIN' IN?" "YOU'RE GONNA NEED SOMEONE ELSE." "YOU'RE UP FOR PAROLE IN A FEW MONTHS." "WHAT GOOD IS THAT GONNA DO IF MY FATHER DIES FIRST?" "YOU'LL BE BACK HERE FOR LIFE" "IF YOU TRY A CRAZY STUNT LIKE THAT." "I'VE GOTTA SEE HIM." "HOW ABOUT IT, MAPES?" "Look out!" "WHAT'D YOU DO LAST NIGHT, MAPES?" "OH, NOTHIN' MUCH." "CALLED UP A COUPLE GIRLS, WENT OUT TO DINNER." "THEN WE HAD A FEW DRINKS AT THE MACAMBO." "WHAT ABOUT YOU?" "WE WERE MAKIN' THE ROUNDS, TOO, WEREN'T WE, JOE?" "YEAH." "WHO'D YOU HAVE WITH YOU?" "WHO CAN REMEMBER NAMES?" "THEY WERE ALL SOCIETY GIRLS FROM PASADENA." "NEXT TIME, GIVE ME A CALL." "I'LL BE GLAD TO GO ALONG." "THESE GIRLS WANT CHARACTER REFERENCES." "MALLOBY, SOMETIMES I THINK YOU FORGET" "WHICH SIDE OF THE BARS YOU'RE ON." "NO, DOUGLAS, THAT'S SOMETHING I NEVER FORGET." "KEEP IT QUIET IN HERE." "I THINK HE'S KIND OF AFRAID OF YOU." "I DON'T BLAME HIM." "YOU'LL NEVER GET HIM." "HE WATCHES YOU EVERY SECOND." "THERE'LL BE ONE OR TWO WHEN HE FORGETS..." "JUST LIKE I FORGOT OUT ON PAROLE ONE DAY..." "ONE LOUSY DAY." "DOUGLAS SEES ME HAVIN' A BEER WITH AN OLD FRIEND." "HE REPORTS ME BECAUSE THE OLD FRIEND IS AN EX-CON." "BACK FOR 12 YEARS - 12 YEARS FOR ONE LITTLE BEER." "LET'S PLAY SOME CARDS." "HOW ABOUT MY TAKING PONTI'S PLACE?" "LEAVE HIM OUT OF IT, MAPES." "I MEAN IT." "NOW, LOOK - YOU HEARD ME, MAPES." "SURE." "YOU IN ON THE BREAK, JOE?" "DON'T YOU KNOW, PONTI?" "WELL, I THOUGHT YOU KNEW EVERYTHING." "WE'RE ALL SET FOR FRIDAY." "The guns are in the laundry room." "WHY FRIDAY?" "I THOUGHT WE WERE GOIN' WEDNESDAY." "PONTI'S OUT." "HE KNOWS ABOUT WEDNESDAY." "YOU SURE HE DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE?" "HAVE TO TAKE A CHANCE." "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" "THOUGHT YOU MIGHT CHANGE YOUR MIND." "NOT A CHANCE." "YOU BEEN SPREADING SOME RUMORS ABOUT ME?" "YEAH." "WELL, WHY DON'T YOU LAY OFF?" "BECAUSE YOU'D SET FIRE TO YOUR SISTER FOR A DIME." "LOOK OUT." "SO I SAYS TO THIS PREACHER," "REVEREND, I'LL BE GLAD TO ORGANIZE A CHOIR FOR YOU," "BUT WHAT'S OUR ANGLE ON THE DEAL?" "COME ON, GET UP." "KEEP MOVIN'." "YOU'RE LIKE A BUNCH OF OLD WOMEN WHEN YOU GET SOME NEWS." "WHO'S GOT ANY NEWS?" "DON'T TELL ME YOU AIN'T HEARD WE'RE GETTIN' A NEW WARDEN." "WHEN?" "THIS WEEK." "AND GUESS WHO HE IS - YOUR OLD FRIEND GEORGE KNOWLAND." "WHO SENT HIM UP?" "PROBABLY OLD JOHN MITCHELL." "KNOWLAND WAS GETTIN' TOO BIG IN STATE POLITICS," "AND BEING WARDEN IS A ONE-WAY TRIP TO NOPLACE." "COME ON, BREAK IT UP." "YEAH, MOVE ON." "WATCH YOUR STEP, MALLOBY." "WE'RE NOT ALL A BUNCH OF FOOLS AROUND HERE." "I'D LIKE TO HAVE A TALK WITH YOU ABOUT THAT SOMETIME, CAPTAIN." "ALL RIGHT, YOU TWO." "GET BACK TO IT." "I SAID GO BACK TO WORK!" "COME ON." "GET BACK TO WORK." "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?" "DID HE START IT?" "HE SURE DID." "THROW HIM IN SOLITARY AND DON'T BE TOO EASY ON HIM." "START THE MACHINES." "AND GET BACK TO WORK." "STALEY, NUMBER FOUR." "HUFFORD, NUMBER THREE." "SOLITARY." "NO, HE DIDN'T." "HOLD IT." "HERE HE IS NOW." "YOU'RE WANTED IN THE WARDEN'S OFFICE, CAPTAIN." "HAVING ANY TROUBLE WITH HUFFORD?" "NO." "LET ME KNOW IF YOU DO." "YES." "NOW, JUST STOP WORRYING." "Man:" "THIS IS WHERE YOUR CLERICAL WORK IS DONE" "AND YOUR FILES ARE KEPT." "IT'S QUITE HANDY." "WHAT DO YOU THINK, KAY?" "WELL, IT'S THE BIGGEST OFFICE YOU'VE EVER HAD." "YOU'LL FIND IT VERY COMFORTABLE, GEORGE " "CENTRALLY LOCATED WITH EVERYTHING UNDER YOUR CONTROL." "THIS BRIDGE IS AN ADDITION." "WHERE'S IT GO?" "THAT LEADS TO YOUR LIVING QUARTERS." "OF COURSE, THERE'S A GOOD LOCK ON THE OTHER DOOR." "VERY CONVENIENT." "HELLO, DOUGLAS." "HOW DO YOU DO, MR. MACKAY?" "YOUR NEW BOSS, GEORGE KNOWLAND." "HAPPY TO KNOW YOU, DOUGLAS." "DOUGLAS IS THE BEST YARD CAPTAIN IN THE PRISON BUSINESS." "I'M GONNA HAVE TO RELY ON YOU A LOT." "THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR." "HEAR YOU HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE THIS MORNING." "ONE OF THE YOUNGER, TOUGHER ONES " "WE TOOK CARE OF HIM." "I'D LIKE TO HAVE YOU MEET MY DAUGHTER." "THIS IS KAY." "HELLO." "THIS IS OUR HOUSEKEEPER, MISS LORRY." "PERHAPS YOU CAN TELL US, MR. DOUGLAS." "JUST HOW SAFE WILL WE BE HERE?" "WHY, MA'AM, THERE'S NO PLACE SAFER." "THE WALLS ARE 8 FEET THICK," "AND YOU'VE GOT GUARDS ALL AROUND." "I'M SURE WE'LL MANAGE ALL RIGHT, MARTHA." "AND JUST THINK, MISS LORRY - YOU HAVE BETTER HELP" "THAN YOU COULD HIRE AT AN EMPLOYMENT AGENCY." "BRING THEM IN, DOUGLAS." "AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS, TO END UP IN A PRISON..." "ALL RIGHT." "IN HERE." "HOW OFTEN DOES YOUR PAROLE BOARD MEET, MACKAY?" "TWICE A WEEK." "YOUR HOUSEHOLD STAFF, GEORGE." "THIS IS MELREAU, YOUR COOK." "HE USED TO BE HEAD CHEF AT THE RICHMOND PLAZA IN NEW YORK."

"HE WAS SO GOOD" "SOME OF THE PEOPLE HE ROBBED DIDN'T WANNA PROSECUTE." "YOU KNOW WHY?" "THEY WANTED HIM TO STAY ON." "THOSE ARE VERY FINE REFERENCES, MALLOBY." "HE'S HERE WITHOUT MY RECOMMENDATIONS, WARDEN." "WHY?" "I DON'T THINK HE'S TO BE TRUSTED." "Malloby:" "WARDEN PAXTON THOUGHT SO." "WELL, I DON'T THINK I'LL BE MAKING ANY CHANGES RIGHT AWAY."

"I SUPPOSE I DID." "THAT'S HOW YOU MADE YOUR RECORD." "NOW YOU CAN MAKE ANOTHER ONE BY KEEPING THEM UNDER CONTROL." "I DON'T MAKE RECORDS, MAC." "I JUST DO JOBS." "SURE, I KNOW, GEORGE, BUT I WAS JUST THINKING" "THAT A GOOD SHOWING WON'T HURT YOU" "WHEN THE ELECTION COMES AROUND." "WHAT IS THAT, DOUGLAS?" "THEY CALL IT "YAMMERING."" "THEY DO IT WHEN THEY'RE SORE." "I BETTER GO DOWN." "I'LL GO WITH YOU." "I WOULDN'T GO IF I WERE YOU." "YOU BETTER STAY HERE." "WHY?" "IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS MUSIC IS BEING STAGED FOR YOUR BENEFIT." "THAT'S RIGHT, MR. KNOWLAND." "KIND OF A PROTEST, HUH?" "WAIT A MINUTE, GEORGE." "THIS IS BAD MEDICINE." "YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING TO 'EM, WARDEN." "NO?" "YOU STAY HERE, DOUGLAS." "HELLO, TEX." "HI, UH..." "MR. KNOWLAND." "SEE YOU AGAIN, TEX." "WE'RE ALL SET FOR TONIGHT." "WANT IN ON IT, MALLOBY?" "I STILL HAVE SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS." "WE CAN'T MISS." "THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE SEEN IT TRIED." "THEY ALWAYS GO OUT EAGER, AND THEY ALWAYS COME BACK DEAD." "I PROMISED JOE " "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO LAY OFF HIM." "WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?" "HE'S IN SOLITARY ANYWAY." "I JUST WANTED YOU TO LET HIM KNOW" "THAT I COULDN'T WAIT." "LUCKY FOR HIM." "I'LL TELL HIM." "I HOPE YOU MAKE IT, MAPES." "GUARD..." "GUARD!" "SHUT UP IN THERE!" "WHAT DAY IS IT?" "WHAT DO YOU CARE?" "WILL YOU JUST PLEASE TELL ME WHAT DAY IT IS?" "IT AIN'T DAY." "IT'S NIGHT" " FRIDAY NIGHT." "NOW SHUT UP!" "Capt. Douglas:" "ATTENTION." "THE WARDEN HAS ISSUED INSTRUCTIONS" "THAT, IN VIEW OF THE ATTEMPTED BREAK LAST NIGHT," "THE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES OF THE DAY ARE CANCELED." "Mackay:" "AND EVERYBODY'S VERY WELL PLEASED" "WITH THE WAY YOU HANDLED THE BREAK." "WHO'S "EVERYBODY"?" "WELL, THE NEWSPAPER..." "THE PEOPLE WHO COUNT." "THAT'S NICE." "I LEFT THE LIST HERE ON THE DESK, GEORGE." "GO OVER IT AS SOON AS YOU CAN." "I WILL." "OH, MAC..." "HAVE THE OFFICE TELL DOUGLAS I WANNA SEE HIM RIGHT AWAY." "SURE." "SEE YOU SOON, GEORGE."

"I HAVEN'T GOT TIME TO KEEP UP ON EVERYTHING, WARDEN." "I'VE ONLY GOT 99 YEARS TO GO." "THE MEN LIKE DOUGLAS?" "NO." "YOU WANT TO SEE ME, WARDEN?" "YEAH." "THAT'S ALL, CURLY." "YOU CAN PICK YOUR STUFF UP LATER." "YES, SIR." "MACKAY BROUGHT A LIST OF MEN NEXT IN LINE FOR PAROLE." "I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP ME WITH IT." "SURE, WARDEN." "I PROBABLY KNOW SOME OF 'EM." "HANSON, DEXTER, HUFFORD " "HUFFORD?" "HE'S THE ONE WE HAD TROUBLE WITH LAST WEEK." "HE JUST GOT OUT OF SOLITARY TODAY." "LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HIS RECORD." "Capt. Douglas:" "HIS CARD WON'T BE UP TO DATE." "HUFFORD - I THINK I KNOW HIM." "OH, SURE." "I SENT HIM UP." "WHAT WAS HIS TROUBLE?" "FIGHTING A GUARD." "WE FOUND OUT LATER HE'D JUST GOTTEN A TELEGRAM" "HIS OLD MAN HAD DIED - GUESS HE WENT A LITTLE NUTS." "THEN WHY WAS HE KEPT IN SOLITARY UNTIL TODAY?" "WELL, FIGHTING A GUARD IS SERIOUS, WARDEN."

"THEY GOT HIM WORKIN' IN THE WARDEN'S OFFICE." "THEY'RE TRYIN' TO GET HIM TRANSFERRED." "HE'LL NEVER GET OUT ALIVE." "THEN MAPES IS DEAD." "HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER." "HOW CAN YOU KNOW ANYTHING?" "IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME." "THE GOOD GUYS GET IT IN THE NECK," "AND THE RATS GET THE GRAVY." "MAPES IS DEAD," "AND PONTI HAS A SOFT JOB IN THE WARDEN'S OFFICE." "I DON'T THINK IT'LL LAST TOO LONG." "HUFFORD, COME ON." "YOU'RE WANTED IN THE WARDEN'S OFFICE." "WHAT'S HE WANTED FOR?" "THE WARDEN NEEDS A FOURTH AT BRIDGE." "HE DIDN'T CHECK WITH ME TO SEE IF IT WAS OKAY." "ALL RIGHT, WISEGUY."

"THERE'S 8 FEET OF WALL AND 100 GUARDS BETWEEN YOU." "THAT AIN'T WHAT HE PROMISED ME." "HE SAID I'D GET OUT OF HERE." "HE PROMISED ME I'D GET OUT." "YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO PROMISE HIM ANYTHING, DOUGLAS." "IT'S UP TO THE PAROLE BOARD, YOU KNOW THAT." "YOU DEAL WITH THESE THINGS THE BEST WAY YOU CAN, WARDEN." "I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE BEST WAY." "I'VE NEVER MADE DEALS WITH MEN LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE." "ALL RIGHT." "WHAT HAPPENS TO ME NOW?" "I'M GONNA TRY AND GET YOU TRANSFERRED." "WHAT GOOD WILL THAT DO?" "THEY'LL BE WAITIN' FOR ME THERE!"

"YOU MANAGE TO KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING ELSE." "IT WAS A BAD BREAK." "I CAN BE SOME HELP." "I CAN KEEP IT OFF YOUR RECORD WHEN YOU COME UP FOR PAROLE." "THAT'S HARDLY IN THE LINE OF DUTY, IS IT?" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" "I REMEMBER YOU TELLING ME A COUPLE OF TIMES" "THAT YOU HAD A JOB TO DO." "NO MATTER HOW THE CARDS FALL," "THAT'S THE WAY YOU HAVE TO TAKE THEM." "YEAH." "THAT'S RIGHT." "IF I WERE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AGAIN AND YOUR CASE CAME UP," "I'D PROSECUTE YOU AGAIN." "THEN WHY BOTHER TO KEEP ANYTHING OFF MY RECORD?" "I SAID PROSECUTE, NOT PERSECUTE." "YOU WERE PRETTY CRAZY ABOUT YOUR FATHER, WEREN'T YOU?" "OF COURSE I WAS." "MY DAUGHTER CALLED ON HIM AFTER THE TRIAL." "I KNOW." "HE WROTE ME." "DON'T YOU THINK HE'D WANT YOU TO PULL OUT OF THIS," "GO AHEAD AND MAKE A LIFE FOR YOURSELF?" "I HAVEN'T ANY IDEA WHAT HE'D WANT." "JOE, HAVEN'T YOU SOME KIND OF FAITH OR RELIGION?" "YEAH."

"YOU GOT A LOT AHEAD OF YOU, TOO." "ARE YOU GONNA LET EVERYTHING GET YOU DOWN?" "I HAVEN'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN." "IT'S JUST GONE AHEAD AND DONE IT." "KAY, YOU REMEMBER JOE HUFFORD?" "YES." "I'M SORRY ABOUT THE TRIAL." "JOE'S GONNA BE OUR NEW CHAUFFEUR." "THIS MAKES YOU A TRUSTEE, JOE." "YOU'LL DRIVE ME AND MY DAUGHTER, DO ERRANDS." "IT'S ONE OF THE BEST JOBS HERE." "I KNOW." "SEND IN A GUARD." "YOU CAN START TOMORROW." "I'LL TELL CAPTAIN DOUGLAS." "THAT'S ALL, JOE." "THANKS." "HE DOESN'T SEEM THE SAME, DOES HE?" "NO, HE DOESN'T." "HE'LL BE COMING UP FOR PAROLE BEFORE TOO LONG." "I THOUGHT THIS JOB MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA " "HELP HIM TO READJUST HIMSELF." "YOU COULD HELP, TOO, IF YOU WOULD." "HOW?" "WELL, HE'S GOING TO BE DRIVING YOU A LOT." "TREAT HIM " "TREAT HIM MORE LIKE SOMEONE YOU KNOW" "RATHER THAN A CONVICT." "DRAW HIM OUT - MAKE HIM TALK ABOUT HIMSELF." "ALL RIGHT." "YOU STILL HAVE HIM ON YOUR CONSCIENCE A LITTLE BIT," "HAVEN'T YOU?" "NO." "IT ISN'T THAT." "IT'S JUST THAT HE'S GONNA BE GETTING OUT OF HERE SOON," "AND I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT HE'S READY FOR IT." "SURE, DAD." "I'LL BE GLAD TO HELP." "WELL, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU'D BE TOO INTERESTED" "IN KNOWING HER, ANYWAY." "WHAT'D SHE THINK I WAS GONNA DO, STRANGLE HER?" "IN A PRISON TOWN, YOU'D THINK THEY'D BE USED TO UNIFORMS." "NOT MANY OF US HAVE A CHANCE TO GET OUT AND PARADE AROUND." "DID IT BOTHER YOU MUCH?" "IT'S ALL RIGHT." "GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO SCARE THEIR CHILDREN WITH TONIGHT." "HOW DO YOU LIKE THE CAR?" "THEY'VE DONE A LOT TO THEM IN 3 YEARS." "JOE, YOU KNOW, YOUR FATHER WAS A FINE MAN." "I KNOW." "WHEN I WENT TO SEE HIM," "I WAS A LITTLE AFRAID HE'D RESENT ME." "HE WAS NEVER LIKE THAT." "WHY DID YOU GO TO SEE HIM?" "I DON'T KNOW." "I SAW HIM IN THE COURTROOM DURING THE TRIAL." "HE LOOKED SO NICE," "AND SO BROKENHEARTED WHEN YOU " "HE REALLY APPRECIATED YOUR CALL." "I'VE ALWAYS MEANT TO THANK YOU FOR IT WHEN I GOT OUT." "NOW YOU'VE DONE IT." "TAKE THE LONG WAY BACK IF YOU'D LIKE, JOE." "THANKS, MISS KNOWLAND." "NO." "THANK YOU." "TELL MELREAU I THINK THIS POT ROAST IS WONDERFUL." "I TASTED IT, SIR, AND I TOLD HIM MYSELF." "YOU MIGHT TELL HIM I ENJOYED IT, TOO." "YES, SIR." "HOW'D IT GO TODAY?" "NOT SO GOOD." "WE'VE GOT TO GET JOE OUT OF THAT PRISON UNIFORM" "NEXT TIME WE GO INTO TOWN." "WHAT HAPPENED?" "THEY DIDN'T MAKE HIM FEEL TOO WELCOME." "I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT MYSELF." "WE'LL HAVE TO GET HIM SOME KIND OF REGULAR SUIT." "WHAT'S THE MATTER, MARTHA?" "YOU'RE NOT EATING MUCH." "I FIXED MYSELF A LITTLE SNACK ABOUT AN HOUR AGO." "WHY?" "WELL, YOU CAN TRUST THAT COOK IF YOU WANT TOO," "BUT WHEN I THINK OF HIS POOR, DEAD WIFE " "POISONED, GASPING FOR BREATH..."

"WHO'S GONNA TAKE A CHANCE WITH ME?" "CAN'T YOU GO BACK TO THE FIRM YOU WERE WORKING FOR?" "I DON'T THINK THEY'RE TOO INTERESTED IN EX-CONS" "IN A BROKERAGE HOUSE." "WHY SHOULD IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO THEM?" "IT'S ALL OVER AND DONE WITH " "YOU'VE ALREADY PAID WHATEVER DEBT YOU OWED." "WOULD YOU FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT IT?" "OF COURSE I WOULD."

"JOE'S GOING TO DRIVE ME TO THE STATION." "I DON'T BELIEVE YOUR AUNT ELLEN IS REALLY SICK." "I THINK SHE JUST WANTS TO SEE YOU." "CAN I GET YOU ANYTHING IN THE CITY?" "NO, JUST SAY HELLO TO YOUR AUNT FOR ME." "SURE, DAD." "BYE." "KAY..." "HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA BE GONE?" "ABOUT A WEEK." "I'M GONNA MISS YOU." "ME TOO." "TELL HUFFORD I WANT TO SEE HIM" "AS SOON AS HE GETS BACK, WILL YOU?" "ALL RIGHT." "I'M JUST AS GLAD SHE'S GETTING AWAY." "TAKE A LOOK, WARDEN." "I'VE GOT THE GUARDS TRYING TO KEEP THEM MOVING."

"IT'S UP TO ME TO GET SOME ACTION ON THINGS LIKE THIS," "AND SO FAR, WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY." "MR. OWENS, YOU JUST WARM YOUR CHAIR FOR A FEW DAYS" "AND AMUSE YOURSELF BY TALKING TO NEWSPAPERMEN." "MR. KNOWLAND, THERE'S BEEN A MURDER COMMITTED," "NOT ONLY IN YOUR OFFICE, BUT RIGHT IN MY DISTRICT." "WELL, THAT'S LIFE FOR YOU." "THIS KILLING HAPPENED OVER A WEEK AGO." "SO FAR, THERE'S BEEN NO INQUEST." "OUR CORONER'S DONE HIS DUTY." "HE'S BEEN OUT HERE THREE TIMES." "WE'VE SWORN IN A JURY, BROUGHT THEM OUT HERE IN A BUS," "AND HAD TO TAKE THEM BACK" "EACH TIME YOU'VE ASKED FOR A POSTPONEMENT." "YOU WON'T EVEN LET US SEE THIS FELLOW HUFFORD." "THAT'S RIGHT." "I WON'T." "A MAN IS DEAD, WARDEN, AND SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY." "I'M PERFECTLY AWARE OF THAT." "OF COURSE." "NOW, I'VE COME OUT HERE IN A FRANK AND FRIENDLY SPIRIT." "I'VE LAID MY CARDS ON THE TABLE."

"I'M HAVING YOU CALLED ON A SUBPOENA, MR. KNOWLAND," "AND YOU'RE GOING TO TESTIFY." "I GUESS YOU CAN DO THAT IF YOU WANT TO." "I WANT TO." "SEE YOU TOMORROW MORNING AT 10:00, MR. KNOWLAND." "JUNIOR." "HELLO, JOE." "COME ON, GET UP." "YOU KNOW, JOE..." "YOU DON'T BELONG IN A PLACE LIKE THIS." "EVERYTHING COULD BE SO EASY FOR YOU." "YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO STAY DOWN HERE." "WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE TO STAY AT ALL." "THERE'S A PAROLE UP THERE JUST WAITIN' FOR YOU." "YOU COULD BE OUT OF HERE." "WHY DO YOU WANT TO KICK YOURSELF AROUND?" "GIVE ME THE OTHER CANDY BAR, WILL YOU, BURKE?" "WELL, YOU ONLY BROUGHT ONE WITH YOU, CAPTAIN." "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME, BURKE?" "YOU KNEW WE BROUGHT THAT DOWN FOR JOE." "CAN YOU GET OUT OF HERE?"

"LET'S HAVE SOME LUNCH." "MALLOBY!" "HE JUST WENT DOWN TO THE MAIN KITCHEN." "WHO WAS THAT WHO MET ME AT THE STATION?" "A NEW TRUSTY." "WHERE'S JOE?" "WELL, THAT'S A LONG STORY." "I SUPPOSE YOU READ IN THE PAPERS THAT PONTI WAS MURDERED." "YES." "JOE'S A MATERIAL WITNESS." "HE WAS IN MY OFFICE WHEN IT HAPPENED." "YOU DON'T THINK HE DID IT?" "I KNOW HE DIDN'T, BUT HE KNOWS WHO DID." "WHERE IS HE?" "IN SOLITARY." "SOLITARY?" "FOR WHAT?" "I'VE GOT TO FIND OUT WHO DID THIS." "HE KNOWS AND WON'T TALK." "YOU'VE PUT HIM BACK IN SOLITARY AGAIN." "THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU, KAY." "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS." "I'VE GOT TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS RIGHT AWAY." "IF I DON'T, THEY'LL BUST ME WIDE OPEN." "YOU THINK YOU CAN TORTURE HIM INTO TALKING?" "THIS ISN'T TORTURE." "WELL, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT, GENTLE PERSUASION?"
