"We didn't bring you chicks in from Vegas to go apartment hunting." "Let's go." "Go, go, go." "No one knows where, but we gotta go." "Aaa-oh," "What is this?" "Get outta here." " Where's the girl?" " What girl?" "Come on out, duchess." "You heard me." "I said come out." "What, may I ask, are you two gentlemen doing in my room?" " No sale." " Let's not make a federal case out of it." "Hear of the Mann Act?" "Transporting a woman across a state line for immoral..." "You drove the girl in from out of state this afternoon." "Don't you think we check on those things first with witnesses?" " Get your stuff." "Let's go." " Just a minute, copper." "Did you and your runny-nosed witnesses check who was gonna pay for the room?" "Me." " So, there we are." " You know what you'll be charged with?" "Yeah, I know." "And it's a misdemeanour, no federal rap." "I've been there before." " Come on." " Get your paws off." "I soil easy." "Thanks, kid." "Don't lose this." "Life's a funny thing." "Compared to what?"

"Your mother on a yacht?" "My mother on a yacht," "Besides, you're too young." "For what?" "Am I still too young?" "Well..."

" We finally made the bucket." " What happened?" "Remember that delicatessen we always wanted to knock over?" " We did." " And they know we did." " Can they prove it?" " They got a pretty fair case." "A witness." "One witness, that's all?" "No fingerprints, nothing like that?" " Not unless I left 'em on the pickles." " So if we had an alibi... if you'd say we were with you, ten to one we'd beat the rap." " Perjury's a felony." " That's what I told them." " There's three bills in it for you and Peg."

"I see one Section K juvenile morals, four vagrancy, one vagrancy quarantine, three soliciting, perjury, not to mention the two years you spent at the Ventura Reform School for Giris." "As long as you're adding up the score, my mother was in Ventura before me." " That oughta be worth extra points." " I'm trying to say you do have a choice." "People have managed to be fairly happy by not getting into trouble." "Get a job." "Maybe get married." "I have been." "Occasionally." "Your way doesn't seem to be going too well."

"I go past the markets now and envy the housewives carrying out the groceries." "I used to think they were stupid squares too, but..." "I get so tired of going out with a quarter to buy ice."

"Don't you tell him about me." "Tell him about yourself." " And you got a record to prove it," " All right," "As long as we're all bellied up to the bar for treats, here's something for you." "I'm sick of supporting you and your habit." "I'm sick of your smell," "This is a real dream house I've been running, and no junkie's worth it," "Take it, Go on, take it, it's the last you'll ever get from me." "You mean that?" "So help me." "I'm through." "Oh." "Nice to see you, Mr. Bixie." "Come in out of the rain." "I could evict you into jail, giving me this cheque." "Calm down, Mr. Bixie." "Maybe you'd like a little drink on a day like this." "You don't even have an account in that bank." "How careless of me." "I used to." "I guess I got my chequebooks mixed up." " I'll write you out another." " No." "Cash." "Mr. Bixie, give me until tomorrow." "My husband's been away all week." "I expect him back tonight." "All right." "Tomorrow."

" And it's raining." " Take me with you, Perk." " With the baby?" "I can leave him with Hank's mother." "How about it?" "if I'm picked up with Bobby, they'll put him in a foster home." "I got the answer." "She comes with me to Acapulco." "Simple." "I told you, King, I don't think Mexico's a smart idea." "I don't care what you think." "What do you say, hon?" "It's nice down there." "It's sunny." "I'll rub oil all over your body so's you don't get too bad a burn." "It so happens I'd take a rap to avoid a trip with you." " We could have fun together." " You're not my type."

"I'll do the very best I can with the $500 given me to investigate your case." "500 bucks." "That's not enough to investigate who's pinching soap from a Y." "With the public defender I could put up a fight, even if he doesn't have the men and dough the DA has." " Why can't I have the public defender?" " Because, as I've tried to explain to you, the district attorney pre-empted him for Bruce King." "Your interests are adverse." " He's a defendant too, isn't he?" " But he claims you did the actual killing." "That crummy, no-good..." "Mrs Graham, can't we spend our precious time at something more constructive?" "You're right." "I should be thanking you instead of fighting with you." "All I ask is complete honesty between us." "That's a deal." "Now then, you state that on the evening of March 9, you were at home with your husband and baby." "But in your testimony to the grand jury, you said your husband couldn't be found."

"Maybe he should try to see you too." "No, thanks." "It's something to think about." "Look, you're in for manslaughter yourself." "Why would you wanna do this for me?" "You're a friend in need." " Tomorrow's Friday." " Just another wild prison rumour." "My friend Ben comes on Friday." " You thought about it?" " Yeah, a lot." " It's an awful big chance." " It's a big rap." " One slip-up, that's all I'd need." " You can trust Ben." "How about you?" "You know about me." "Make it easy, bet it hard." "Four trey, seven away." "Mama's goin' home to stay." "You made your point, sweetie." "Yeah, I guess I did." "I'm gonna need a password." "This line here." " I came like water." " And like wind I go." " Ben?" " That's me."

"I picked you up in town near your house on 54th Street." "You were in a cab." "I was waiting at the corner of 54th and Sunset." "We went out to the motel and we..." "Poor Aunt Maud." "But she shouldn't use a mustard plaster." "I guess so." "All right." "We went out to the motel..." "And we registered under the name of Mr. and Mrs. J. Clark." "We stayed till seven o'clock the next morning." "In cabin 20." "Then you took me home afterward." "If they ask me why you've kept quiet until now..." "I'm married, but now I see it's a matter of life and death..." "It sure is." " Nothing better go wrong with this." " Don't worry." "Where were you that night, really?" "I've gotta know." "If someone saw you where you really were and they show up at that trial, where does that leave me?" " Nobody saw me." " How can you be sure?" " You're not even sure where you were." " I'm sure but I can't prove it." "If I could, I wouldn't need you, would I?" "Suit yourself." "Much as I'd like to save that gorgeous hide of yours," "I just can't take that kind of a chance." " We'd better forget the whole thing." " Come back." "Yeah?" "You got something you wanna say?" "You've really got the hammerlocks on me." " What do you want?" " You were there?" " Is that all you'll believe?" " It's easy to believe and I wouldn't worry." " I'll double your money." " Oh, baby..." "Ben." " Have it your way." " You were with Perkins and Santo?" "If you were, it's OK." "It'll be my story against Bruce King's." " You were with them?" " All right, all right." "I was with them." "Then from here on in, you just relax." "You're a cinch to beat the cyanide." "May it please the court, counsel, members of the jury, we will prove that on the night of March 9, 1953" "King, Santo, Perkins, Barbara Graham brutally murdered Mrs. Mabel Monahan, a crippled widow, 61 years of age." "You will see why they needed a woman to gain admittance to the Monahan home." "We will show you how they searched every nook and cranny of her house, looking for a hidden cache of money." "And, in conclusión, District Attorney Milton cries "We mean business."" ""You members of the jury swore you had no scruples about the death penalty, even though one of the defendants be a Woman."" ""So now I say to you, invoke the extreme penalty." "Let justice be done."" "You arrived in front of the Monahan house, it was dark," "Santo tells Barbara Graham "You go ahead in." You see her enter the house." "Then what happened?" "After Mrs Graham entered the house, Santo and Perkins insisted I follow." " And did you?" " About a minute later." "When you went in, what first attracted your attention?" "Mrs. Graham was striking Mrs. Monahan in the face with a gun." " In the head and face." " In what position was Mrs. Monahan?" "She was standing up." "Mrs. Graham had her by the hair with her left hand and was striking her with her right hand." " Then what did you do?" " I told Mrs Graham to cease hitting her." "I put my hand in the way." "Mrs. Monahan collapsed." "And then?" "They tied Mrs. Monahan up and searched the house" " Santo, Perkins and Graham." "And me." " You may examine." " Don't let him get away with that." "Tear him apart." "Was an offer made you by the district attorney's office to testify at this trial?" " It was." " Would you state what that offer was?" "Mr. Milton told me that if I were to tell the truth, he'd ask the court to dismiss the case against me." "That's the reason for the testimony you have given?" " No, sir." " What is the reason for it, then?" " To bring justice." " To all concerned, including yourself?" "You feel it is justice for you to be released and perhaps the others condemned?" "I do." "Mr. King, you testified earlier that Emmett Perkins gave you a gun about five minutes before you reached the Monahan house." " is that correct?" " Four or five minutes." "If you did not intend to participate in violence, even if you were there only on - how shall we say?" " your missión of mercy..." "Objection." "He's characterising the testimony." "Sustained as to the last phrase." "Mr. King, pray tell why did you take the gun?" "You know something?" "I've often wondered myself." "That sure rocked the jury." "Look at 'em." "As the trial of Barbara Graham goes into its third day, the nationwide interest in the fate of the Queen of the Murder Mob mounts." "Tonight, the police have been tipped off that there's a gangland plot to spring her." "Extra precautions will be taken in court tomorrow." "Leave us in, pops." "We wanna see Babs." "Go home." "Ain't you kids got nothing better to do?" "Your mother wears army shoes." "Bonnie?" " Hi, Peg." " I saw Bobby this morning." " How is he?" " Wonderful." "He'll be walking soon." "I've gotta see him take that first step." " You will." "You will." "It's going fine." " Yeah, sure." "I just haven't had my innings yet." " Mrs Graham, I'm Ed Montgomery..." " I've seen the name." " Who's she?" " Some autograph hound." "Me too." "How about signing an exclusive interview?" "I'll pay." "OK, Scoop." "Here's your first instalment." ""Bloody Babs shuns press."" "Please remain seated and come to order." "The court is again in sessión." "The record will show the jury, counsel and defendants present." "You may proceed, Mr. Prosecutor." "Our next witness will be here in a moment." "He's just outside." "Hey." " That's my man." " Who?" "It's Ben." "Ben, the one I told you about." "Raise your right hand." "That's the fella who was with you at the motel?" " That's my witness." " Your witness?" "He's just been called for the prosecution." "But that's Ben Miranda." "That's my alibi." " State your name, please." " Benjamin Miranda." " What is your occupation?" " Police officer for the city of Los Ángeles." "Some time before today, were you given a special assignment to work on the Monahan murder case?" " Yes, sir." "I was." " What was that assignment?" "On August 7 I went to the county jail for a meeting with Mrs. Graham." "Was this meeting at Barbara Graham's request?" "They crossed me." "Both of them crossed me." " That dirty, stinking little tramp." " Shut up." "At the time and place you first saw Barbara Graham, did you give her some kind of password?" " Yes, I did." " Can't you do something?" " I'll do something." " What was the password?" "Your Honour, may we approach the bench?" "You may, Mr. Tibrow." "May it please the court, I have repeatedly warned my client against deceiving me in any way." "But I have been deceived." "I've been lied to." "I've been misled." "For the record, I ask permissión to withdraw." "I'm sympathetic with counsel, however since no person could be better qualified than the attorney who has proceeded in the case so far, the court does not feel that it should relieve you." "Just so the court understands my position." "It does indeed." "Proceed." "Read the last question, Mr Reporter." "Question: what was the password?" "I came like water and like wind I go." "It'll be my story against Bruce King's." "You were with them?" "All right, I was with them." "Then from here on in, you just relax." "You're a cinch to beat the cyanide." "Those are the words echoing through the courtroom at the trial of Barbara Graham." "A written transcript is used in court for the prosecution, but you are hearing the actual voices as originally recorded on the wire inside a tiny Minifon like this," "Which Miranda concealed on his body during his rigged prison meeting with the alleged murderess." "It's all taken down on the miniature recording device:" "her desperate attempt to establish a false alibi, her faltering admissión she was at the scene of the crime." "The flaming redhead finally crumbles into a shattered, frightened woman." "She is led crying from the courtroom after the brutal sessión." "Curious onlookers, photographers and reporters crowd around her." " Have you anything to say for TV?" " I'm innocent." "What about the testimony of Bruce King and Police Officer Miranda?" "I'm completely innocent." "I was home with my family that night." "They'll all die violently." "The spies, the liars, all the ones who want me dead." " I'm innocent." " Do you swear it?" "I swear it." "I swear it on my baby's life." "May God strike him dead if I'm guilty." "And what happens to Rita, the blonde prison siren, the inside girl who so invaluably aided the police, while herself serving time for manslaughter?" "." "Her sentence is suspended and she is released on probation, as the woman she helped entrap takes the stand tomorrow to fight for her life." "Now, despite what you told Mr. Miranda, you claim the truth is that you were at home with your husband?" "So help me God." "And yet you made no effort to contact your husband, while you went to great lengths to make use of the services of Mr. Miranda?" " The same goes for you." " Just answer the question." "I wrote Henry one letter while I was in the county jail and I never got an answer." "Did you say anything about being with him on the night of March 9?" " You're hesitating, Mrs. Graham." " I'm trying to think." "You do that." "May the record show that I have here a letter addressed to Henry L. Graham, postmarked May 20, 1953, and stamped on it "Mail Censored, Los Ángeles County Jail"." "I will ask that this be marked next in order for identification." "So ordered." "People's exhibit 73." "I ask you to read this letter and tell us whether or not you wrote it." "That's her husband." "Henry L. Graham." "Thank God," "I will clear the courtroom if there's another such outburst from anyone." "Proceed, Mr. Prosecutor." "Did you write that letter to your husband, Mrs. Graham?" "Yes, I did." "Did you say anything about where you and he might have been on March 9, or whether you were together or anything about establishing your alibi?" "No." "I offer into evidence this letter marked exhibit 73." "Accepted into evidence letter marked exhibit 73." "But I remember now why I didn't." "I wanted Henry to come and see me." "You also asked Mr. Miranda to come and see you and testify falsely that he was with you." "I didn't exactly want him." "I just felt that I had no other choice." "You told him that you were really with Perkins and Santo that night." "I kept telling him that I wasn't at the scene of the crime." "He acted like he should insist I was." "And I thought "This is my last chance."" ""I can't prove where I was, and if he walks out on me, then I won't have anybody."" "I didn't know what to do, which way to turn." "Just respond to the question." "All I could think was I couldn't prove my alibi and I was gonna go to the gas chamber, and I was desperate." " Mrs. Graham..." " Have you ever been desperate?" " Do you know what it's like?" " Mrs. Graham," " Your Honour, I move that be stricken." " So ordered." " Mrs. Graham, you have to be..." " I know." "I'm sorry." "I know." "Proceed." "Mrs. Graham, perhaps one of the reasons you were so desperate during this time was that you knew you were already on probation." " I guess I still am." " From where?" "San Francisco." "Of what crime were you convicted?" "You're hesitating again, Mrs. Graham." "Of what desperate crime were you convicted?" "Perjury." "Barbara Graham." "He's here." " How's the Dior?" " Elegant." "Hey, tell him to come up and see me sometime." "You have permissión to see him in the attorney's room." "That's swell." " I've seen him, Barbara." "He's a doll." " Thank you, ma'am." " Ask him if he's got a friend." " I'll do that." "Don't cry, honey." "Here she is." "Give your mama a kiss like I showed you." "Sweetheart, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry." " Peg, what happened?" " It's the cameras." "Why don't you be decent and give us a break?" "Oh, Mommy missed you, sweetheart." "Mommy missed you." "Tell us, Barbara, how does it feel seeing your baby, knowing that you face the gas chamber?" "How the hell do you think it feels?" "Damn them, Damn them, Damn them," " Get your mitts off," " Come on." "Damn you, Damn you, Damn you, Damn you," "While there are certain practices I don't think police officers should indulge in, in this instance I see no grounds for criticism." "Motion for a new trial is denied." "I appeared for the motion for new trial only since Mr. Tibrow is taken ill." "All right, Mr Matthews." "You'll be relieved of further responsibility in this case." "Thank you, Your Honour." "The defendant is remanded to the custody of the sheriff of Los Ángeles County, to be delivered by him to the California institution for women at Corona." "It is the judgment and sentence of this court that Barbara Graham suffer the extreme penalty, to wit, the death penalty, and that said penalty be inflicted within the walls of the state penitentiary at San Quentin, California, in a manner and means prescribed by law," "to wit, the administration of lethal gas until said defendant is dead." "Bring her over here for TV, boys." "Please step aside." "I hear your husband wants to change his story." " Give her a break." " You didn't." "You just dropped her." " Any comments on that?" " From what I read, she ain't my type." "Big boy like you." "Maybe you shouldn't believe everything you read." " Have you anything to say?" " How about it?" "A short statement?" "Yeah, Babs." "Why so quiet today?" "I wanna thank the gentlemen of the press." "You chewed me up in your headlines and all the jury had to do was spit me out." "You're all invited to the execution." "That's only fair." "You led the pack, Montgomery." "Bring your wife." "She'll enjoy it." "For once how about a statement from you?" "Are you satisfied now?" "It looks like a college." "Yes. in fact, the girls at Corona refer to the grounds as a campus." "Rah-rah-rah." "This place is a big improvement over some of those menageries I've been in." " Every dress different." " Because no two girls are alike." "We want our girls to walk tall, with their heads up." " Hi, Barbara." " Hi." "She knew me." "Guess I'm sort of a - what do they call it?" " big man on campus." "This is your room." "Here we go again." "Just show me where you keep the hammerlocks and I'm all set." "We have to put you in isolation because of your..." "Death sentence?" "First time I ever heard it was contagious." "Sorry, Barbara." "It has to be this way." "I probably wouldn't have made the team anyhow." "Never have yet." " Is that Shelly Manne?" " Yeah." "You like him?" "He knocks me out." " Are they electrocuting somebody?" " Two minutes to lights out." " Gotta scoot." " So long." "Good night, Bar..." "I'm sorry." "You can't wear that here." "Why not?" "It's too... provocative." "Provocative?" "There's nothing but dames here." "Not a man within miles." "And I've got these for a chastity belt." "Oh, boy, would I love to have somebody to provoke," "It's very foolish to make trouble on your first night, Barbara." "I'd advise you to wear the nightgown we've provided you." " Well?" " OK." "OK, I'll take it off." "But I won't wear your burlap job." "I'll sleep raw." "Well?" "Cover yourself." "She refused to take a lie-detector test." "She wrote Tibrow she wants to take one now." "Now she does, as a last-ditch gamble, but she wouldn't risk it before." " Could be she had other things to hide." " Probably quite a lot." "There's something about her." "When you meet her..." "Hello, Mr. Matthews." "How's Mr. Tibrow?" "Better, but still in the hospital." "He asked me to reconsider taking your appeal." "I want Mr. Palmberg to talk to you." "Then I'll decide." "Hello, Barbara." "Sit over here, please." "Carl is going to make some tests on you." "He's a psychologist and a criminologist." "That's his problem." "I don't like my mother." "I never knew my father." "Where's your hammer?" "Sky, blue, Monday, wash." " How's that?" " They're responses to the word test." " All right, Al, I'll see you later." " Oh." "Sure." " What's the book?" " Poetry." "There was a young lad from Japan whose verses they never would scan" "When he was asked why He said with a sigh" ""Darn it all, I just can't help trying to get as many words in the last line as I can."" " We might get along." " I hope so." "I'd like to start with a Rorschach test." "inkblots." "They'll tell you what's on my murky brain." "Right." "Go ahead." "What do you see?" "A rain cloud." "Bobby." "This one looks like a bed." " What about her, Carl?" " She's totally amoral." "A compulsive liar, with no regard for law and order or the conventions of society." " You must have been reading my stuff." " I think you should take the appeal." " What?" " I think she's innocent." "Why don't Santo and Perkins speak up?" "What have they got to lose now?" "The only cure they can think of for the cyanide." "Come again?" "They believe in the end her sentence will be commuted." "A young, attractive woman, a mother." "If you don't execute the killer, how can you execute the ones who stood around?" "That's why they decided to keep her out front and say that she did it and why they're gonna keep her there." " That's just your own opinion." " Just my own opinion, Montgomery." "Unfortunately, I can't print it and make it a fact." "There's the reverse." "The state has to gas her if they wanna get Santo and Perkins." "I'm convinced she couldn't have done it." "She has a positive aversión to violence." "Physical violence, not emotional." "Forgery, perjury, vice are her crimes." "They're not crimes of violence." "They're the crimes of those for whom violence is impossible." " Also she's left-handed." " I never noticed that." "No, I didn't see it mentioned in any of your articles." "Bruce King testified that the gun was in her right hand." "You can't use that in an appeal." "That evidence was available during the trial." "You didn't bring me out here to tell you how to appeal, only whether." " We shall have to..." " What do you mean, we?" "Even if I take it, there's no money for an investigation." " Besides, in your present state of health..." " Stop interrupting." "We're gonna have to develop a great deal of new evidence." "That's my job." "You'll translate it into your incomprehensible legal prose." "But evidence and jargon alone will not save the lady." "That's where you come in." "The press created the climate which condemned her." "Change that climate." "Whatever gave you the idea that I'm on your side?" " You're here, aren't you?" " To get a story, that's all." "You could have concocted your usual story without making the trip, so it strikes me you already had it in mind to change your point of view." " I'm not sure what I had in mind." " I am." "You're like a man looking for a hat that's on his head the whole time." "Maybe, but at least I haven't lost my head yet." "But today, Peg, things are looking up." "Mr. Matthews has taken my appeal." "There's a man with him, a Carl Palmberg." "I can't describe the effect he has on a person." "But there, that's it." "I'm a person again, not a condemned person." "You can imagine how upset I am, Al, that after all our efforts, they positively refuse to give me a lie-detector test." "Surely by now there's some word on my appeal." "The suspense is killing me." "Ha-ha." "I guess you're beginning to realise What an impossible client I am, especially for a nonpaying one." "Could be my upbringing." "Another thing, Carl." "Thank Montgomery for his latest article." "The interviews are beginning to pay off." "I don't Know what's making him change toward me, but he sure seems to have." "Most important of all, though, please, please, please, Carl, bring me definite news about my appeal or I'll go insane." "Please, Mrs. Graham, you must sit still" "You ain't got rhythm, Doc, that's your problem." "My trouble is 15 other appointments today." "These inlays take time." "Pretty funny, putting in gold inlays when they've already got cyanide eggs marked with my initials." " Such talk." " Barbara." " Carl." " I'd like to talk to Mrs. Graham." "It's all right." "Don't just stand there." "Give." "Your appeal has been denied." "Did they set a date?" "December 3, but Al put in for a stay of execution." "No, I don't want any stay." "If you can't get my sentence commuted, then don't get me a stay." " At least it'll be over on December 3." " Barbara..." "You heard me, I can't stand it any more, I can't," "Barbara..." "Oh, Carl, what am I gonna do?" "You're gonna get your teeth fixed." "Come on." "Bad dreams again, Barbara?" "Go away and leave me alone." " There's your mommy." " Bobby," "Sweetie," "Bobby, baby, baby." "Mommy's so happy to see you." "How is she?" "With four days left, how would you be?" "You're such a big boy now." "You must weigh at ieast 25 pounds, I bet you." "Yeah." "You remember how we used to play Wibbleton to Wobbleton?" "This is a game we used to play every night." "And here we go." "From Wibbleton to Wobbleton is 15 miles." "From Wobbleton to Wibbleton is 15 miles." "Do you like that?" "See, Peg?" "He remembers." "OK, sport." "Here we go again." "From Wibbleton to Wobbleton is 15 miles." "From Wobbleton to Wibbleton is 15 miles." "From Wobbleton to Wibbleton, from Wibbleton to Wobbleton, from Wibble..." "Come along." "Let's get some ice cream." "No, no, you mustn't." "Peg, anything but losing him." "Maybe I could stand it if it weren't for losing him." "You won't." "Sometimes I think everything inside me's gonna bust wide open, and I feel as though somebody's pulling out my guts with their bare hands." "I never should have had him, Peg." "Even if I do miss the gas chamber, I'll..." "I'll rot in prison." "I'll only cause him to suffer by staying alive." "I'm glad I'm gonna die." "Barbara." "Barbara, listen to me." "You've been granted a stay of execution by the United States supreme court." "Oh, God." "Oh, God," "If I'd Known you were in the hospital, Carl, I wouldn't have sent that last silly letter." "I shouldn't have anyhow, but waiting two months for the supreme court to review my petition has been a strain." "I've been lying here thinking about What you said on your last visit." "I do want to live, Carl." "Life does seem very dear to me." "I want to live, and you're my greatest hope." "I can't believe it." "Carl dead." "We were counting heavily on his investigation." "He didn't leave any notes on his new stuff." "it all went with him." " Everything went with him." " Don't say that." "You've got a lot going for you." "Al Matthews, those committees." "And me." "That isn't what you came to tell me, Mr. Montgomery." "Yeah." "The supreme court has denied your petition." "What's the new date?" "June." "June 3." "Yesterday I found two grey hairs." "Not bad, huh?" "Only two." "You've still got a couple of legal shots to fire." "Al is in court right now." "I'm making a pitch to the governor's clemency secretary." "And the paper's doing an editorial in favour of commuting your sentence." "Why not?" "Win or lose, I sell a lot of papers." "Yeah." "Barbara, I..." "Barbara, what I wrote about you during your trial..." " The way I feel now..." " No." "This is a hell of a sendoff you're giving me." "Everything but confetti." "Here in the Southland, today marks the beginning of the end for Barbara Graham." "Our newsreel cameraman catches her leaving Corona, on what may be her last trip anywhere." "As I watch Barbara enter the car that will speed her to the death cell," "I think how little she looks like a condemned murderess" "Who will lead off California's first triple execution." "More like the pretty girl who a long time ago took the wrong fork in the road of life." "Thoughts like these discouraged me from crowding in with the usual questions." " Still think you have a chance?" " What'll you wear tomorrow?" "But, even now, hope eternal rides with her." "At any time before her scheduled appointment at the gas chamber at 10am, the courts or the governor himself may yet decide to halt the execution." "Here she comes," " Wanna see her with me?" " Five minutes with Perkins is what I want." " Five lousy minutes." " He's refused you." " Why are you so sensitive to his whims?" " It's his last night too." "It doesn't have to be Barbara's." "He could clear her." "Will you stop giving me a hard time?" "Any execution is tough on the prison, but with a woman in the death house..." "Tell Perkins I'm standing by." "All night if necessary." "Yes." "You can wait here, but please lay off the pressure." " Hello, Barbara." "My name's Barbara too." " I'm Mrs. Graham to you." " Whatever you like." "This is..." " Let's skip the introductions." " This isn't a garden party." " I would get someone like you, fat-stuff." " Now, now." "That's the wrong attitude." " Sign her over on the DW, please." "I wish you luck, Barbara." "We all do at Corona." "This is your cell." "You take the first watch." "I'll start the coffee." "And turn off that schmaitz." "Might as well get into something comfortable." " You'll be more comfortable in these." " What's eating you?" "You'll have to undress so I can give you a complete shakedown." "You won't find anything hidden on my body." "If I was gonna kill myself, I'd have done it a year ago." "I'm sorry, but we have orders to follow." " No," " Mrs. Graham..." "Get this straight, Miss Bedpan." "Nobody's gonna go pawing over me." "I'm through with all that stuff." "Now get outta here, Leave me alone," " Don't get fresh with us or we'll..." " You'll what?" "What can anyone threaten me with now?" "All right to come in?" "it's the warden." "Yes, sir." "Do you have a cigarette for me?" " That's a switch." " Thank you." "We'd like you to be as comfortable as possible." "Do you have any requests?" "I wanna see my lawyer the minute he gets here." "That's all that counts right now." " We've already arranged for that." " Thanks." " You haven't heard anything?" " No." "One more thing." " The gas chamber..." " There's no use dwelling on that." "Just hope for the best." "It's right around here someplace, isn't it?" "You can order anything you like for dinner." "I don't feel like eating." "If you'll excuse me, I think I'll retire." "Yes, of course." " Warden?" " Yes?" "Don't forget to call me at 10." " Warden?" " Yes?" "She refuses to let me examine her." "Must I?" "All right, all right." "Forget it." "Very sharp." "I mustn't disappoint my public." "I can just imagine what those papers are gonna say." ""Bloody Babs spent her last night decked out in lounging pyjamas of her favourite colour - flaming scarlet."" "That's what they always call red when I wear it." "Or any other colour, I'll bet." "Would you like some coffee, Mrs. Graham?" "Yeah." "Barbara." "My name is Barbara too." "Come on, come on." "They sent some dinner over for you anyway, Mrs. Graham." " Take it out of my sight." " You should keep up your strength." "It doesn't come from the belly." "Uh-uh." " We agreed not to count the hours." " Sorry." " Where's that lawyer?" " He'll be here." "He'd better." "He's liable to lose an important client." "It's Father Devers." " Hello, Barbara." " Hello, Father." "I'm glad to see you." "My, my." "I suppose those are what is known as the hepcat's pyjamas." " Yeah." "You dig 'em?" " The most." "I don't know why I should feel so upset." " I'm not afraid to die." " Of course not." "You know, I think it'll be rather nice to come face to face with the one person in all the world who knows I'm innocent." "None of us are wholly innocent or guilty in the eyes of God." "I meant Mrs. Monahan." " I brought you this, Barbara." " Thank you, Father." "What a lovely going-away present." "St. Jude." "Saint of the impossible." " I'd like to go to confessión, Father."

" On that radio." " Pay no attention." "That always happens." " Not to me." "It's all been arranged as you wanted." "Bobby stays on with his grandmother." " You swear?" " I swear." "Things look good." "I flied that writ in the federal court." "Got the clerk to open the office for me." "The judge is studying the petition now." " And?" " I'll argue it first thing in the morning." "That's exactly what I wanted." "Keep as much pressure on him as possible." "Just this once, I wish it wasn't ladies first." "Montgomery's sticking around trying to get a statement from Perk to clear you." "An exclusive statement, I presume." "He's wasting his time." "There's a good chance of getting the order switched." "If Perk and Santo have to go first, they might just break down." "Wanna bet?" "I still have a couple of rabbits to pull out of the hat, so keep your chin up." "The governor turned down your plea for clemency, but he might see me in person." "No." "Anything in the courts, OK, but don't beg for my life." " Barbara..." " Don't beg for my life." " Deliver this for me." " You'll have to clear that." "He knows." "What are you trying to do, teach my lawyer the law?" "Keep it there." "See you around, mouthpiece." "Here." "Sit on this."

"He was up for a vice presidency in the bank where he worked." "I was afraid he wouldn't get the promotion because of me."
