1
00:02:32,002 --> 00:02:33,697
Rosebud.
2
00:03:11,808 --> 00:03:13,969
News on the March.
3
00:03:33,530 --> 00:03:35,589
Legendary was the Xanadu...
4
00:03:35,665 --> 00:03:39,260
...where Kubla Khan decreed
his stately pleasure dome.
5
00:03:39,336 --> 00:03:42,794
Today almost as legendary
as Florida's Xanadu...
6
00:03:42,906 --> 00:03:45,272
...the world's largest
private pleasure ground.
7
00:03:47,978 --> 00:03:51,311
Here on the deserts of the Gulf Coast.
A private mountain...
8
00:03:51,381 --> 00:03:53,372
...was commissioned and successfully built.
9
00:03:53,450 --> 00:03:56,977
One hundred thousand trees.
Twenty thousand tons of marble...
10
00:03:57,087 --> 00:03:59,681
...are the ingredients
of Xanadu's mountain.
11
00:04:00,757 --> 00:04:03,191
Contents of Xanadu's palace:
12
00:04:03,259 --> 00:04:07,423
Paintings. Pictures. Statues.
Various stones of other palaces.
13
00:04:07,797 --> 00:04:09,697
A collection of everything.
14
00:04:09,766 --> 00:04:12,997
So big it can never
be catalogued or appraised.
15
00:04:13,103 --> 00:04:16,937
Enough for 10 museums.
The loot of the world.
16
00:04:20,543 --> 00:04:22,511
Xanadu's livestock...
17
00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:29,041
...the fowl of the air. The fish of the sea.
The beast of the field and jungle...
18
00:04:29,386 --> 00:04:33,652
...two of each.
The biggest private zoo since Noah.
19
00:04:34,324 --> 00:04:36,155
Like the Pharaohs...
20
00:04:36,326 --> 00:04:40,285
...Xanadu's landlord leaves many stones
to mark his grave.
21
00:04:41,798 --> 00:04:43,356
Since the Pyramids...
22
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,296
...Xanadu is the costliest monument...
23
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:48,769
...a man has built to himself.
24
00:05:01,851 --> 00:05:04,513
Here in Xanadu last week...
25
00:05:04,854 --> 00:05:07,755
...Xanadu's landlord was laid to rest.
26
00:05:08,058 --> 00:05:10,788
A potent figure of our century...
27
00:05:10,894 --> 00:05:13,055
...America's Kubla Khan:
28
00:05:13,563 --> 00:05:15,394
Charles Foster Kane.
29
00:05:42,826 --> 00:05:47,854
Its humble beginnings.
In this ramshackle building. A dying daily.
30
00:05:47,964 --> 00:05:50,592
Kane's empire. In its glory...
31
00:05:50,767 --> 00:05:54,726
...held dominion over 37 newspapers.
Two syndicates...
32
00:05:54,938 --> 00:05:59,500
...a radio network.
An empire upon an empire.
33
00:05:59,809 --> 00:06:03,711
The first of grocery stores. Paper mills...
34
00:06:03,813 --> 00:06:09,513
...apartment buildings.
Factories. Forests. Ocean liners.
35
00:06:09,586 --> 00:06:12,919
An empire through which for 50 years...
36
00:06:12,989 --> 00:06:15,457
...flowed in an unending stream...
37
00:06:15,725 --> 00:06:18,922
...the wealth of the Earth's
third richest gold mine.
38
00:06:20,330 --> 00:06:23,527
Famed in American legend
is the origin of the Kane fortune.
39
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:29,163
How. To boarding housekeeper Mary Kane.
By a defaulting boarder. In 1868...
40
00:06:29,272 --> 00:06:33,106
...was left the supposedly worthless deed
to an abandoned mineshaft:
41
00:06:33,209 --> 00:06:36,337
The Colorado Lode.
42
00:06:36,412 --> 00:06:40,576
Fifty-seven years later.
Before a congressional investigation...
43
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:44,086
...Walter P. Thatcher.
Grand old man of Wall Street...
44
00:06:44,154 --> 00:06:47,885
...for years chief target
of Kane papers' attacks on trusts...
45
00:06:47,957 --> 00:06:50,391
...recalls a journey he made as a youth.
46
00:06:50,460 --> 00:06:53,861
My firm had been appointed trustee
by Mrs. Kane...
47
00:06:53,930 --> 00:06:56,296
...for a large fortune she recently acquired.
48
00:06:56,366 --> 00:07:00,462
It was her wish that I take charge
of this boy, Charles Foster Kane.
49
00:07:00,537 --> 00:07:05,270
Chief, is it not, that on this occasion,
Charles Foster Kane...
50
00:07:05,375 --> 00:07:10,176
...personally attacked you after striking you
in the stomach with a sled?
51
00:07:10,747 --> 00:07:13,682
I shall read to the committee
a prepared statement...
52
00:07:13,750 --> 00:07:19,188
...which I have brought with me,
and then refuse to answer questions.
53
00:07:19,689 --> 00:07:23,022
Mr. Charles Foster Kane,
in every essence of his social beliefs...
54
00:07:23,092 --> 00:07:26,084
...and by the dangerous manner
he has persistently attacked...
55
00:07:26,162 --> 00:07:28,460
...American traditions of private property...
56
00:07:28,531 --> 00:07:30,863
...initiative and opportunity
for advancement...
57
00:07:30,934 --> 00:07:34,836
...is, in fact, nothing more or less
than a communist.
58
00:07:34,938 --> 00:07:37,463
That same month in Union Square...
59
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:40,168
The words "Charles Foster Kane"...
60
00:07:40,276 --> 00:07:43,768
...are a menace
to every workingman in this land.
61
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,484
He is today what he has always been
and always will be: A fascist.
62
00:07:49,886 --> 00:07:51,786
And still another opinion...
63
00:08:08,805 --> 00:08:12,332
Kane urged his country's entry
into one war...
64
00:08:12,542 --> 00:08:15,102
...opposed participation in another.
65
00:08:15,411 --> 00:08:19,177
Won the election
to one American president at least.
66
00:08:19,415 --> 00:08:22,009
Spoke for millions of Americans.
67
00:08:22,986 --> 00:08:25,614
Was hated by as many more.
68
00:08:25,922 --> 00:08:29,517
For 40 years appeared in Kane newsprint...
69
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:34,059
...no public issue
on which Kane papers took no stand.
70
00:08:34,497 --> 00:08:39,833
No public man whom Kane himself
did not support or denounce.
71
00:08:39,902 --> 00:08:43,929
Often support. Then denounce.
72
00:08:52,248 --> 00:08:55,684
Twice married. Twice divorced.
73
00:08:55,985 --> 00:08:58,283
First to a president's niece...
74
00:08:58,388 --> 00:09:01,482
...Emily Norton. Who left him in 1916.
75
00:09:02,025 --> 00:09:05,620
Died 1918 in a motor accident
with their son.
76
00:09:08,064 --> 00:09:10,430
Sixteen years after his first marriage...
77
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:12,798
...two weeks after his first divorce...
78
00:09:13,002 --> 00:09:15,163
...Kane married Susan Alexander...
79
00:09:15,238 --> 00:09:18,537
...singer. At the Town Hall
in Trenton. New Jersey.
80
00:09:19,309 --> 00:09:24,611
For wife two.
One-time opera-singing Susan Alexander...
81
00:09:24,781 --> 00:09:28,046
...Kane built
Chicago's Municipal Opera House.
82
00:09:28,151 --> 00:09:30,551
Cost: $3 million.
83
00:09:30,687 --> 00:09:36,785
Conceived for Susan Alexander Kane.
Half-finished before she divorced him...
84
00:09:36,859 --> 00:09:38,850
...the still unfinished...
85
00:09:39,062 --> 00:09:40,495
...Xanadu.
86
00:09:40,563 --> 00:09:43,760
Cost: No man can say.
87
00:09:47,070 --> 00:09:50,403
Kane. Molder of mass opinion
though he was...
88
00:09:50,606 --> 00:09:53,234
...in all his life
was never granted elective office...
89
00:09:53,309 --> 00:09:55,004
...by the voters of his country.
90
00:09:55,078 --> 00:09:57,842
But Kane papers were once strong indeed...
91
00:09:57,980 --> 00:10:00,505
...and once the prize seemed almost his.
92
00:10:00,783 --> 00:10:04,219
In 1916. as independent candidate
for governor...
93
00:10:04,287 --> 00:10:06,755
...the best elements of the state
behind him...
94
00:10:06,789 --> 00:10:11,692
...the White House seemingly the next
easy step in a lightning political career...
95
00:10:11,761 --> 00:10:15,629
...then suddenly. Less than one week
before election...
96
00:10:16,165 --> 00:10:17,655
...defeat.
97
00:10:17,734 --> 00:10:19,895
Shameful. Ignominious.
98
00:10:20,636 --> 00:10:24,128
Defeat that set back for 20 years
the cause of reform in the U. S...
99
00:10:24,207 --> 00:10:27,973
...forever cancelled political chances
for Charles Foster Kane.
100
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,106
Then. In the first year
of the Great Depression...
101
00:10:34,751 --> 00:10:36,878
...a Kane paper closes.
102
00:10:37,019 --> 00:10:40,750
For Kane. In four short years. Collapse.
103
00:10:41,124 --> 00:10:46,323
Eleven Kane papers merged.
More sold. Scrapped.
104
00:10:55,972 --> 00:10:57,064
Is that correct?
105
00:10:57,140 --> 00:10:59,506
Don't believe everything you hear
on the radio.
106
00:10:59,575 --> 00:11:03,511
- Read the Inquirer.
- How were business conditions in Europe?
107
00:11:03,579 --> 00:11:07,515
How did I find business conditions
in Europe, Mr. Bones?
108
00:11:07,650 --> 00:11:09,311
With great difficulty.
109
00:11:11,854 --> 00:11:13,549
Are you glad to be back?
110
00:11:13,623 --> 00:11:16,114
I'm always glad to be back.
I'm an American.
111
00:11:17,026 --> 00:11:19,586
Always been an American. Anything else?
112
00:11:19,662 --> 00:11:22,756
When I was a reporter,
we asked them quicker than that.
113
00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:25,324
What do you think
of the chances for war in Europe?
114
00:11:25,401 --> 00:11:29,735
I talked with the responsible leaders
of England, France, Germany and Italy.
115
00:11:29,872 --> 00:11:32,306
They're too intelligent
to embark on a project...
116
00:11:32,375 --> 00:11:34,866
...that would mean the end of civilization.
117
00:11:35,044 --> 00:11:38,571
You can take my word for it,
there will be no war.
118
00:11:42,952 --> 00:11:45,614
Kane helped to change the world...
119
00:11:45,755 --> 00:11:48,383
...but Kane's world now is history...
120
00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:51,894
...and the great yellow journalist himself
lived to be history...
121
00:11:51,961 --> 00:11:54,293
...outlived his power to make it.
122
00:11:55,164 --> 00:11:59,191
Alone in his never-finished.
Already decaying pleasure palace...
123
00:11:59,435 --> 00:12:02,836
...aloof. Seldom visited.
Never photographed...
124
00:12:03,139 --> 00:12:07,132
...an emperor of newsprint
continued to direct his failing empire.
125
00:12:07,777 --> 00:12:10,575
Vainly attempted to sway. As he once did...
126
00:12:10,913 --> 00:12:14,314
...the destinies of a nation
that had ceased to listen to him...
127
00:12:14,383 --> 00:12:16,146
...ceased to trust him.
128
00:12:18,154 --> 00:12:22,215
Then last week. As it must to all men...
129
00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:25,787
...death came to Charles Foster Kane.
130
00:12:26,729 --> 00:12:28,594
News on the March.
131
00:12:33,769 --> 00:12:34,963
That's it.
132
00:12:35,705 --> 00:12:38,640
Stand by.
I'll tell you if we want to run it again.
133
00:12:38,708 --> 00:12:41,336
- How about it, Mr. Rawlston?
- How do you like it, boys?
134
00:12:41,410 --> 00:12:45,312
- Seventy years in a man's life.
- That's a lot to try to get into a newsreel.
135
00:12:45,381 --> 00:12:47,849
It's a good short,
but what it needs is an angle.
136
00:12:47,917 --> 00:12:51,216
All we saw on that screen
was that Charles Foster Kane is dead.
137
00:12:51,287 --> 00:12:53,380
I know that. I read the papers.
138
00:12:53,456 --> 00:12:55,947
It isn't enough to tell us what a man did...
139
00:12:56,259 --> 00:12:59,422
...you've got to tell us who he was.
140
00:12:59,495 --> 00:13:02,794
Wait a minute.
What were Kane's last words?
141
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:04,833
Do you remember, boys?
142
00:13:04,901 --> 00:13:07,369
What were the last words
he said on Earth?
143
00:13:07,436 --> 00:13:09,529
Maybe he told us about himself
on his deathbed.
144
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:12,733
- Maybe he didn't.
- All we saw was a big American.
145
00:13:12,775 --> 00:13:15,801
How did he differ from Ford,
Hearst or John Doe?
146
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:18,509
I tell you, a man's dying words...
147
00:13:18,648 --> 00:13:20,548
What were they?
You don't read the papers.
148
00:13:20,650 --> 00:13:23,141
When Charles Foster Kane died,
he said one word:
149
00:13:23,219 --> 00:13:24,208
"Rosebud. "
150
00:13:24,287 --> 00:13:26,050
That's all he said? Tough guy.
151
00:13:26,122 --> 00:13:28,420
Yes, "Rosebud. " Just that one word.
152
00:13:28,791 --> 00:13:30,452
- But who is she?
- What was it?
153
00:13:30,526 --> 00:13:32,721
Here's a man
who could've been president...
154
00:13:32,795 --> 00:13:35,059
...who was as loved,
hated and talked about...
155
00:13:35,131 --> 00:13:37,725
...as any man in our time,
but when he dies...
156
00:13:37,767 --> 00:13:40,031
...something is on his mind called Rosebud.
157
00:13:40,102 --> 00:13:42,570
- What does that mean?
- A racehorse he bet on once.
158
00:13:42,672 --> 00:13:45,004
- That didn't come in.
- But what was the race?
159
00:13:45,074 --> 00:13:46,234
Rosebud.
160
00:13:46,309 --> 00:13:47,139
- Thompson.
- Yes.
161
00:13:47,209 --> 00:13:49,143
Hold this up a week, two if you must.
162
00:13:49,211 --> 00:13:51,008
Don't you think right after he's dead...
163
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,208
Find out about Rosebud. Get in touch
with anybody who knew him...
164
00:13:54,283 --> 00:13:55,773
...or knew him well.
165
00:13:56,118 --> 00:13:57,779
That manager of his...
166
00:13:57,820 --> 00:14:00,311
Bernstein. His second wife.
She's still living.
167
00:14:00,389 --> 00:14:01,686
Susan Alexander Kane.
168
00:14:01,757 --> 00:14:04,590
- She runs a nightclub in Atlantic City.
- That's right.
169
00:14:04,694 --> 00:14:08,095
See them all. Get in touch with everybody
that ever worked for him...
170
00:14:08,164 --> 00:14:11,065
...whoever loved him,
whoever hated his guts.
171
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,392
I don't mean go through
the city directory of course.
172
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:16,062
I'll get on it right away.
173
00:14:16,138 --> 00:14:18,868
Good. Rosebud, dead or alive.
174
00:14:19,709 --> 00:14:22,269
It will probably turn out to be
a very simple thing.
175
00:15:01,751 --> 00:15:03,241
Miss Alexander.
176
00:15:04,453 --> 00:15:06,717
This is Mr. Thompson, Miss Alexander.
177
00:15:06,856 --> 00:15:09,154
I want another drink, John.
178
00:15:12,094 --> 00:15:15,029
Right away.
Will you have something, Mr. Thompson?
179
00:15:15,097 --> 00:15:18,624
- I'll have a highball, please.
- Who told you you could sit down?
180
00:15:20,503 --> 00:15:22,437
I thought maybe we could have a talk.
181
00:15:22,505 --> 00:15:23,972
Think again.
182
00:15:25,241 --> 00:15:27,539
Can't you people leave me alone?
183
00:15:27,643 --> 00:15:29,873
I'm minding my own business,
you mind yours.
184
00:15:29,945 --> 00:15:32,880
If I could just have a talk with you,
Miss Alexander. I'd...
185
00:15:32,948 --> 00:15:34,472
Get out of here.
186
00:15:36,285 --> 00:15:37,513
Get out!
187
00:15:38,888 --> 00:15:40,378
- Sorry.
- Get out.
188
00:15:40,690 --> 00:15:43,158
- Maybe some other time.
- Get out.
189
00:15:54,170 --> 00:15:55,296
Gino.
190
00:15:57,206 --> 00:15:58,969
Get her another highball.
191
00:15:59,442 --> 00:16:02,002
She just won't talk to nobody,
Mr. Thompson.
192
00:16:02,078 --> 00:16:03,170
Okay.
193
00:16:05,281 --> 00:16:07,977
- Another double?
- Yeah.
194
00:16:08,951 --> 00:16:10,714
Hello, I want New York City.
195
00:16:10,753 --> 00:16:15,281
Courtland 79970.
This is Atlantic City 46827. All right.
196
00:16:18,427 --> 00:16:19,951
She's...
197
00:16:20,696 --> 00:16:22,288
She'll snap out of it.
198
00:16:22,465 --> 00:16:25,764
Why, until he died, she'd just as soon
talk about Mr. Kane as any...
199
00:16:25,835 --> 00:16:27,234
- Hello.
- Sooner.
200
00:16:27,369 --> 00:16:29,963
This is Thompson. Let me talk to the chief.
201
00:16:31,774 --> 00:16:33,765
Mr. Rawlston? She won't talk.
202
00:16:34,009 --> 00:16:36,876
The second Mrs. Kane.
About Rosebud or anything else.
203
00:16:36,946 --> 00:16:38,709
I'm calling from Atlantic City.
204
00:16:38,781 --> 00:16:42,410
Tomorrow I'll go to Philadelphia,
to Thatcher Library, to see his diary.
205
00:16:42,485 --> 00:16:43,850
They're expecting me.
206
00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:47,446
Then I've a meeting with his
general manager in New York. Bernstein.
207
00:16:47,556 --> 00:16:49,023
Then I'm coming back here.
208
00:16:49,091 --> 00:16:52,060
Yeah, I'll see everybody that's still alive.
Goodbye.
209
00:16:54,029 --> 00:16:55,018
- Hey...
- John.
210
00:16:55,097 --> 00:16:56,928
You just might be able to help me.
211
00:16:56,999 --> 00:17:00,696
When she used to talk about Mr. Kane,
did she ever mention Rosebud?
212
00:17:01,270 --> 00:17:02,601
"Rosebud"?
213
00:17:02,972 --> 00:17:04,997
Thank you, Mr. Thompson, thanks.
214
00:17:05,508 --> 00:17:09,501
As a matter of fact, just the other day,
when the papers were full of it...
215
00:17:10,980 --> 00:17:13,107
...I asked her.
216
00:17:13,649 --> 00:17:15,776
She never heard of Rosebud.
217
00:17:27,963 --> 00:17:32,525
The directors of the Thatcher Memorial
Library have asked me to remind you...
218
00:17:32,701 --> 00:17:35,363
...about the conditions
under which you may...
219
00:17:35,437 --> 00:17:38,600
...inspect certain portions
of Mr. Thatcher's unpublished memoirs.
220
00:17:38,674 --> 00:17:41,302
- I remember them.
- Yes, Jennings, I'll bring him in.
221
00:17:41,377 --> 00:17:43,937
- All I want is an hour...
- Under no circumstances...
222
00:17:44,013 --> 00:17:47,779
...are direct quotes from his manuscript
to be used by you. You may follow me.
223
00:17:47,817 --> 00:17:50,047
That's all right. I'm just looking for...
224
00:18:02,798 --> 00:18:04,425
Jennings.
225
00:18:09,438 --> 00:18:10,928
Thank you, Jennings.
226
00:18:11,574 --> 00:18:14,771
You will be required to leave this room
at 4:30 promptly.
227
00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:17,670
You will confine yourself,
it is our understanding...
228
00:18:17,746 --> 00:18:21,238
...to the chapters in Mr. Thatcher's
manuscript regarding Mr. Kane.
229
00:18:21,317 --> 00:18:23,217
That's all I'm interested in.
230
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,518
Thank you.
231
00:18:26,789 --> 00:18:29,758
Pages 83 to 142.
232
00:19:08,197 --> 00:19:09,960
Come on, boys.
233
00:19:10,132 --> 00:19:11,463
Be careful, Charles.
234
00:19:11,634 --> 00:19:12,464
Mrs. Kane.
235
00:19:12,534 --> 00:19:14,729
Pull your muffler around your neck,
Charles.
236
00:19:14,770 --> 00:19:17,068
Mrs. Kane,
I think we'll have to tell him now.
237
00:19:17,139 --> 00:19:20,631
Yes, I'll sign those papers now,
Mr. Thatcher.
238
00:19:21,277 --> 00:19:24,110
You people seem to forget
that I'm the boy's father.
239
00:19:24,179 --> 00:19:27,114
It's going to be done
exactly the way I've told Mr. Thatcher.
240
00:19:27,182 --> 00:19:30,879
There's nothing wrong with Colorado.
I don't see why we can't raise our son...
241
00:19:30,986 --> 00:19:32,783
...just 'cause we came into money.
242
00:19:32,821 --> 00:19:35,790
If I want to, I can go to court.
A father has a right to.
243
00:19:35,858 --> 00:19:39,191
A boarder that beats his bill
and leaves worthless stock behind...
244
00:19:39,261 --> 00:19:42,196
That property is as much my property
as anybody's...
245
00:19:42,264 --> 00:19:45,199
...now that it's valuable.
And if Fred Graves had any idea...
246
00:19:45,267 --> 00:19:48,828
...this would happen, he'd have made out
the certificates in both our names.
247
00:19:48,904 --> 00:19:52,396
- But they're made out to Mrs. Kane.
- He owed the money to both of us.
248
00:19:52,474 --> 00:19:57,309
- "The bank's decision in all matters... "
- I don't hold with giving Charles to a bank...
249
00:19:57,379 --> 00:19:59,643
- Stop this nonsense.
- We're a bit uneducated...
250
00:19:59,715 --> 00:20:01,808
"The bank's decision
concerning his education...
251
00:20:01,884 --> 00:20:04,409
"... his places of residence, is to be final. "
252
00:20:04,486 --> 00:20:08,047
- The idea of a bank being the guardian...
- Stop this nonsense, Jim.
253
00:20:08,123 --> 00:20:11,024
"We will assume full management
of the Colorado Lode"...
254
00:20:11,093 --> 00:20:13,755
...which I repeat, Mrs. Kane,
you are the sole owner.
255
00:20:13,796 --> 00:20:15,957
- Where do I sign, Mr. Thatcher?
- Right here.
256
00:20:16,065 --> 00:20:18,499
Mary, I'm asking you for the last time.
257
00:20:19,068 --> 00:20:21,764
You'd think I hadn't been
a good husband or father...
258
00:20:21,804 --> 00:20:23,396
The sum of $50,000 a year...
259
00:20:23,472 --> 00:20:26,669
...is to be paid to you
and Mr. Kane as long as you both live...
260
00:20:26,742 --> 00:20:28,835
...and thereafter to the survivor.
261
00:20:29,478 --> 00:20:32,379
- Let's hope it's all for the best.
- It is.
262
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:40,818
Why I can't raise my own boy
is more than I can understand.
263
00:20:40,889 --> 00:20:42,754
Go on, Mr. Thatcher.
264
00:20:42,858 --> 00:20:45,986
Everything else, the principal,
as well as all monies earned...
265
00:20:46,095 --> 00:20:50,156
...is to be administered by the bank in trust
for your son, Charles Foster Kane...
266
00:20:50,232 --> 00:20:52,962
...until he reaches his 25th birthday,
at which time...
267
00:20:53,068 --> 00:20:55,332
...he is to come into complete possession.
268
00:20:55,404 --> 00:20:56,701
Charles!
269
00:20:58,774 --> 00:21:00,366
Go on, Mr. Thatcher.
270
00:21:01,510 --> 00:21:05,139
It's almost 5:00.
Don't you think I'd better meet the boy?
271
00:21:05,948 --> 00:21:07,882
I've got his trunk all packed.
272
00:21:09,084 --> 00:21:11,245
I've had it packed for a week now.
273
00:21:13,889 --> 00:21:16,289
I've arranged for a tutor
to meet us in Chicago.
274
00:21:16,358 --> 00:21:18,690
I'd have brought him here with me, but...
275
00:21:19,428 --> 00:21:21,157
- Charles.
- Look, Mom.
276
00:21:21,330 --> 00:21:22,763
You'd better come inside.
277
00:21:22,798 --> 00:21:25,767
- That's quite a snowman.
- I took the pipe out of his mouth.
278
00:21:25,834 --> 00:21:27,392
Did you make it yourself?
279
00:21:27,469 --> 00:21:29,994
Maybe I'll make some teeth and whiskers.
280
00:21:30,339 --> 00:21:32,364
This is Mr. Thatcher, Charles.
281
00:21:32,775 --> 00:21:34,834
- Hello.
- How do you do, Charles?
282
00:21:34,910 --> 00:21:36,502
He comes from the East.
283
00:21:36,578 --> 00:21:38,045
- Pa.
- Hello, Charlie.
284
00:21:38,147 --> 00:21:39,375
Charles.
285
00:21:40,149 --> 00:21:41,514
Yes, Mommy.
286
00:21:43,052 --> 00:21:46,146
Mr. Thatcher is going to take you
on a trip with him tonight.
287
00:21:46,221 --> 00:21:47,916
You'll be leaving on number 10.
288
00:21:47,990 --> 00:21:50,220
That's the train with all the lights on it.
289
00:21:50,292 --> 00:21:51,316
You going, Mom?
290
00:21:51,393 --> 00:21:54,624
No. Your mother won't be going
right away, but she'll...
291
00:21:55,330 --> 00:21:57,025
Where am I going?
292
00:21:57,132 --> 00:22:00,898
You're going to see Chicago and New York
and Washington, maybe. Ain't he?
293
00:22:00,969 --> 00:22:02,163
He certainly is.
294
00:22:02,237 --> 00:22:05,638
I wish I were a boy going on a trip
like that for the first time.
295
00:22:05,707 --> 00:22:08,938
- Why aren't you coming with us, Mom?
- We have to stay here, Charles.
296
00:22:09,011 --> 00:22:11,912
You're gonna live with Mr. Thatcher
from now on, Charlie.
297
00:22:11,980 --> 00:22:15,438
You're gonna be rich. Your ma figures,
well, that is...
298
00:22:15,684 --> 00:22:18,812
...me and her decided this ain't the place
for you to grow up in.
299
00:22:18,887 --> 00:22:21,321
You'll probably be
the richest man someday...
300
00:22:21,390 --> 00:22:23,858
...and you ought to get...
- You won't be lonely.
301
00:22:23,926 --> 00:22:27,418
Lonely, of course not. We're going to have
fine times together, we are.
302
00:22:27,496 --> 00:22:30,397
Let's shake hands. Come.
I'm not that frightening, am I?
303
00:22:30,666 --> 00:22:32,998
- What do you say? Let's shake.
- Why, Charles.
304
00:22:33,068 --> 00:22:34,865
- Why, you almost hurt me.
- Charlie!
305
00:22:34,937 --> 00:22:37,462
Sleds aren't to hit people,
but to sleigh with.
306
00:22:37,539 --> 00:22:38,528
Mom!
307
00:22:38,707 --> 00:22:40,868
- You got to go.
- Jim!
308
00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:43,043
I'm sorry, Mr. Thatcher.
309
00:22:43,112 --> 00:22:44,943
What the kid needs is a good thrashing.
310
00:22:45,013 --> 00:22:46,878
- That's what you think, is it?
- Yes.
311
00:22:46,949 --> 00:22:51,283
That's why he's going to be brought up
where you can't get at him.
312
00:23:11,006 --> 00:23:13,338
Well, Charles...
313
00:23:15,010 --> 00:23:17,877
...Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
314
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,548
And a happy New Year.
315
00:23:20,682 --> 00:23:21,910
In closing...
316
00:23:21,984 --> 00:23:25,818
...may I remind you your 25th birthday,
which is now approaching...
317
00:23:25,888 --> 00:23:28,652
...marks your complete independence
from the firm...
318
00:23:28,724 --> 00:23:32,285
...of Thatcher & Company,
as well as acquiring the full responsibility...
319
00:23:32,361 --> 00:23:34,795
...for the world's sixth largest
private fortune.
320
00:23:34,830 --> 00:23:37,924
- Got that?
- "The world's sixth largest private fortune. "
321
00:23:38,066 --> 00:23:42,162
I don't think you realize the full importance
of the position you are to occupy.
322
00:23:42,271 --> 00:23:44,501
I am therefore enclosing
for your consideration...
323
00:23:44,573 --> 00:23:47,303
...a list of your holdings,
extensively cross-indexed.
324
00:23:47,376 --> 00:23:49,571
- "Dear Mr. Thatcher. "
- It's from Mr. Kane.
325
00:23:49,645 --> 00:23:52,011
- Go on.
- "Sorry, I'm not interested in gold mines...
326
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,139
"... oil wells, shipping or real estate. "
327
00:23:54,349 --> 00:23:56,476
Not interested?
328
00:23:56,618 --> 00:24:00,019
"One item on your list intrigues me:
The New York Inquirer.
329
00:24:00,088 --> 00:24:02,989
"A little newspaper we acquired
in a foreclosure proceeding.
330
00:24:03,058 --> 00:24:05,492
"Don't sell it.
I am coming back to take charge.
331
00:24:05,561 --> 00:24:07,995
"I think it would be fun
to run a newspaper.
332
00:24:08,063 --> 00:24:12,193
"I think it would be fun
to run a newspaper. "
333
00:24:20,008 --> 00:24:22,169
"Traction Trust exposed. "
334
00:24:22,277 --> 00:24:24,905
"Traction Trust bleeds public white. "
335
00:24:24,980 --> 00:24:28,347
"Traction Trust smashed by Inquirer. "
336
00:24:28,417 --> 00:24:31,853
"Landlords refuse to clear slums. "
337
00:24:32,187 --> 00:24:35,884
"Inquirer wins slum fight. "
338
00:24:37,226 --> 00:24:41,162
"Wall Street backs copper swindle. "

"Galleons of Spain off Jersey Coast. "
341
00:24:46,468 --> 00:24:49,062
Is that really your idea
of how to run a newspaper?
342
00:24:49,137 --> 00:24:52,573
I don't know how to run a newspaper.
I try everything I can think of.
343
00:24:52,641 --> 00:24:55,610
You know there's not
the slightest proof this...
344
00:24:55,677 --> 00:24:58,612
...Armada's off the Jersey Coast.
- Hello, Mr. Bernstein.
345
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,113
Can you prove it isn't?
346
00:25:00,182 --> 00:25:02,912
Mr. Bernstein,
I'd like you to meet Mr. Thatcher.
347
00:25:03,719 --> 00:25:04,845
- Mr. Leland.
- Hello.
348
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,649
Mr. Thatcher, my ex-guardian.
349
00:25:06,722 --> 00:25:11,887
We have no secrets from our readers.
Thatcher is one of our devoted readers.
350
00:25:11,994 --> 00:25:15,828
He knows what's wrong with every copy
of the Inquirer since I took over. Read.
351
00:25:15,897 --> 00:25:18,957
"Girls delightful in Cuba. Stop.
Could send you prose poems...
352
00:25:19,034 --> 00:25:22,834
"... about scenery but don't feel right
spending your money. Stop.
353
00:25:22,904 --> 00:25:25,771
"There is no war in Cuba. "
Signed "Wheeler. " Any answer?
354
00:25:25,807 --> 00:25:30,369
Yes. Dear Wheeler: You provide
the prose poems, I'll provide the war.
355
00:25:30,479 --> 00:25:33,175
- That's fine.
- I like it myself. Send it right away.
356
00:25:33,248 --> 00:25:35,648
I came to see you
about this campaign of yours.
357
00:25:35,717 --> 00:25:38,584
The Inquirer's campaign against
the Public Transit Company.
358
00:25:38,654 --> 00:25:40,849
Do you know anything
we can use against them?
359
00:25:40,922 --> 00:25:42,549
You're still the college boy, eh?
360
00:25:42,624 --> 00:25:46,287
I was expelled from college, a lot
of colleges, you remember? I remember.
361
00:25:47,429 --> 00:25:50,193
I think I should remind you of a fact
you have forgotten.
362
00:25:50,265 --> 00:25:54,133
You're one of the largest stockholders
in the Public Transit Company.
363
00:25:54,202 --> 00:25:57,262
The trouble is, you don't realize
you're talking to two people.
364
00:25:57,372 --> 00:26:00,535
As Charles Foster Kane
who owns 82,364 shares...
365
00:26:00,609 --> 00:26:04,409
...of Public Transit Preferred. See,
I do have a general idea of my holdings.
366
00:26:04,479 --> 00:26:06,947
I sympathize with you.
Kane is a scoundrel...
367
00:26:07,215 --> 00:26:10,343
...his paper should be closed,
a committee formed to boycott him.
368
00:26:10,452 --> 00:26:14,218
If you can form such a committee,
put me down for a contribution of $1,000.
369
00:26:14,289 --> 00:26:17,156
On the other hand,
I am the publisher of the Inquirer.
370
00:26:17,225 --> 00:26:21,321
As such it's my duty, I'll let you in
on a little secret. It is also my pleasure...
371
00:26:21,530 --> 00:26:25,728
...to see that the working people of this
community aren't robbed by a pack...
372
00:26:25,767 --> 00:26:28,327
...of money-mad pirates, just because...
373
00:26:28,770 --> 00:26:31,933
...they have no one
to look after their interests.
374
00:26:32,341 --> 00:26:35,333
I'll let you in on another little secret,
Mr. Thatcher:
375
00:26:35,444 --> 00:26:39,278
I think I'm the man to do it.
You see, I have money and property.
376
00:26:39,348 --> 00:26:43,341
If I don't look after the interests
of the underprivileged, somebody else will.
377
00:26:43,452 --> 00:26:45,511
Maybe somebody
without money or property.
378
00:26:45,587 --> 00:26:46,884
That would be too bad.
379
00:26:46,955 --> 00:26:49,082
I saw your financial statement today.
380
00:26:49,157 --> 00:26:52,126
- Oh, did you?
- Tell me, honestly...
381
00:26:52,327 --> 00:26:56,627
...don't you think it's rather unwise
to continue this philanthropic enterprise...
382
00:26:56,698 --> 00:26:59,758
...this Inquirer, that is costing you
$1 million a year?
383
00:26:59,801 --> 00:27:04,670
Yes. I did lose $1 million last year.
I expect to lose $1 million this year.
384
00:27:04,740 --> 00:27:07,402
I expect to lose $1 million next year.
385
00:27:07,509 --> 00:27:09,739
At the rate of $1 million a year...
386
00:27:09,778 --> 00:27:13,373
...I'll have to close this place in 60 years.
387
00:27:23,158 --> 00:27:25,592
"With respect to the said newspapers...
388
00:27:25,660 --> 00:27:28,128
"... the said Charles Foster Kane...
389
00:27:28,196 --> 00:27:31,791
"... hereby relinquishes all control thereof...
390
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,964
"... and of the syndicates
pertaining thereto...
391
00:27:35,036 --> 00:27:41,100
"... and any and all other newspaper, press
and publishing properties of any kind...
392
00:27:41,610 --> 00:27:43,942
"... and agrees to abandon
all claim thereto... "
393
00:27:44,012 --> 00:27:47,379
- Which means we're bust all right.
- Well, out of cash.
394
00:27:47,482 --> 00:27:49,006
All right, Mr. Bernstein.
395
00:27:49,084 --> 00:27:53,646
I've read it, Mr. Thatcher,
just let me sign it and go home.
396
00:27:53,722 --> 00:27:57,055
You're too old
to call me Mr. Thatcher, Charles.
397
00:27:57,192 --> 00:28:00,184
You're too old to be called anything else.
398
00:28:00,262 --> 00:28:02,457
You were always too old.
399
00:28:03,098 --> 00:28:06,795
"In consideration thereof,
Thatcher & Company agrees...
400
00:28:06,868 --> 00:28:09,735
"... to pay to Charles Foster Kane,
as long as he lives... "
401
00:28:09,771 --> 00:28:11,398
My allowance.
402
00:28:11,506 --> 00:28:15,374
"You will continue to maintain
over your newspapers a large...
403
00:28:15,444 --> 00:28:20,177
"... measure of control.
Measure of control. "
404
00:28:20,715 --> 00:28:23,912
And we shall seek your advice.
405
00:28:26,521 --> 00:28:30,355
This depression is temporary.
406
00:28:31,593 --> 00:28:35,359
There's always the chance
that you'll die richer than I will.
407
00:28:35,630 --> 00:28:38,064
It's a cinch I'll die richer than I was born.
408
00:28:38,133 --> 00:28:40,624
We never lost as much as we made.
409
00:28:40,702 --> 00:28:45,196
Yes, yes, but your methods.
You know, Charles...
410
00:28:45,273 --> 00:28:50,540
...you never made a single investment.
You always used money to...
411
00:28:51,213 --> 00:28:53,238
To buy things.
412
00:28:56,451 --> 00:28:58,783
To buy things.
413
00:28:59,721 --> 00:29:03,680
My mother should have chosen
a less reliable banker.
414
00:29:10,499 --> 00:29:14,265
I always gagged on that silver spoon.
415
00:29:15,770 --> 00:29:18,238
You know, Mr. Bernstein...
416
00:29:19,941 --> 00:29:22,671
...if I hadn't been very rich...
417
00:29:23,211 --> 00:29:25,577
...I might have been a really great man.
418
00:29:25,647 --> 00:29:27,808
Don't you think you are?
419
00:29:29,818 --> 00:29:33,015
I think I did pretty well
under the circumstances.
420
00:29:34,856 --> 00:29:37,256
What would you like to have been?
421
00:29:40,061 --> 00:29:42,393
Everything you hate.
422
00:29:50,906 --> 00:29:54,069
I beg your pardon, sir? What did you say?
423
00:29:54,142 --> 00:29:57,942
- It's 4:30. Isn't it, Jennings?
- Yes, ma'am.
424
00:29:58,079 --> 00:30:00,673
You have enjoyed a very rare privilege,
young man.
425
00:30:00,749 --> 00:30:03,775
- Did you find what you were looking for?
- No.
426
00:30:06,221 --> 00:30:08,246
- You're not Rosebud, are you?
- What?
427
00:30:08,323 --> 00:30:11,315
Rosebud, and your name is Jennings,
isn't it?
428
00:30:11,459 --> 00:30:15,896
Goodbye, everybody.
Thanks for the use of the hall.
429
00:30:16,665 --> 00:30:20,192
Who's a busy man, me?
I'm chairman of the board.
430
00:30:20,268 --> 00:30:22,736
I got nothing but time.
What do you want to know?
431
00:30:22,771 --> 00:30:27,003
We thought maybe... If we could
find out what he meant by his last words...
432
00:30:27,075 --> 00:30:29,600
...as he was dying.
- That "Rosebud"?
433
00:30:29,711 --> 00:30:32,179
Maybe some girl?
434
00:30:32,247 --> 00:30:34,477
There were a lot of them in the early days.
435
00:30:34,549 --> 00:30:37,780
It's hardly likely that Mr. Kane
could have met someone casually...
436
00:30:37,852 --> 00:30:40,116
...and then 50 years later, on his deathbed...
437
00:30:40,188 --> 00:30:44,989
Well, you're pretty young, Mr. Thompson.
438
00:30:45,193 --> 00:30:48,822
A fellow will remember a lot of things
you wouldn't think he'd remember.
439
00:30:48,897 --> 00:30:50,660
You take me.
440
00:30:50,732 --> 00:30:55,795
One day, back in 1896,
I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry...
441
00:30:55,971 --> 00:30:59,168
...and as we pulled out,
there was another ferry pulling in...
442
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,038
...and on it there was a girl
waiting to get off.
443
00:31:02,844 --> 00:31:04,675
A white dress she had on.
444
00:31:04,746 --> 00:31:07,214
She was carrying a white parasol.
445
00:31:07,515 --> 00:31:10,006
I only saw her for one second.
446
00:31:10,085 --> 00:31:15,546
She didn't see me at all,
but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since...
447
00:31:16,424 --> 00:31:18,984
...that I haven't thought of that girl.
448
00:31:19,494 --> 00:31:23,726
- Who else have you been to see?
- Well, I went down to Atlantic City.
449
00:31:23,798 --> 00:31:25,732
Susie?
450
00:31:25,834 --> 00:31:27,165
Thank you.
451
00:31:27,769 --> 00:31:30,602
I called her myself the day after he died.
452
00:31:30,939 --> 00:31:33,339
I thought maybe somebody ought to.
453
00:31:34,643 --> 00:31:38,943
- She couldn't even come to the phone.
- I'll be seeing her again in a couple of days.
454
00:31:39,014 --> 00:31:41,005
About Rosebud, Mr. Bernstein.
455
00:31:41,249 --> 00:31:44,878
If you'd talk about anything connected
with Mr. Kane that you can remember.
456
00:31:44,953 --> 00:31:46,887
You were with him from the beginning.
457
00:31:46,955 --> 00:31:52,359
From before the beginning, young fellow.
And now it's after the end.
458
00:31:53,395 --> 00:31:55,795
Have you tried to see anybody
except Susie?
459
00:31:55,830 --> 00:32:00,164
I haven't seen anybody else, but I've
been through Walter Thatcher's journal.
460
00:32:00,235 --> 00:32:04,763
- That man was the biggest fool I ever met.
- He made an awful lot of money.
461
00:32:04,806 --> 00:32:07,604
Well, it's no trick to make a lot of money...
462
00:32:08,109 --> 00:32:13,342
...if all you want is to make a lot of money.
463
00:32:15,917 --> 00:32:21,253
You take Mr. Kane.
It wasn't money he wanted.
464
00:32:23,491 --> 00:32:27,689
Thatcher never did figure him out.
Sometimes even I couldn't.
465
00:32:27,862 --> 00:32:31,263
You know who you ought to see?
Mr. Leland.
466
00:32:31,466 --> 00:32:34,526
He was Mr. Kane's closest friend.
They went to school together.
467
00:32:34,602 --> 00:32:35,796
Harvard?
468
00:32:35,870 --> 00:32:39,567
Oh, Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Cornell, Switzerland.
469
00:32:39,641 --> 00:32:42,269
He was thrown out of a lot of colleges.
470
00:32:42,510 --> 00:32:45,138
Mr. Leland never had a nickel.
471
00:32:45,447 --> 00:32:48,473
One of those families
where the father is worth $10 million...
472
00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:52,850
...then one day he shoots himself,
and it turns out there's nothing but debts.
473
00:32:54,522 --> 00:32:56,752
He was with Mr. Kane and me...
474
00:32:57,759 --> 00:33:00,694
...the first day Mr. Kane took over
the Inquirer.
475
00:33:08,369 --> 00:33:10,837
Take a good look at it, Jedediah.
476
00:33:11,106 --> 00:33:14,974
It's going to look a lot different
one of these days. Come on.
477
00:33:23,752 --> 00:33:27,051
There ain't no bedrooms in this joint.
That's a newspaper building.
478
00:33:27,122 --> 00:33:31,923
You're getting paid, mister,
for opinions or for hauling?
479
00:33:34,729 --> 00:33:37,630
- Jedediah.
- After you, Mr. Kane.
480
00:33:49,844 --> 00:33:52,074
Excuse me, sir, but I...
481
00:33:55,016 --> 00:33:57,382
Welcome, Mr. Kane.
482
00:33:59,487 --> 00:34:02,217
Welcome to the Inquirer, Mr. Kane.
483
00:34:02,290 --> 00:34:04,588
I am Herbert Carter, the editor-in-chief.
484
00:34:04,659 --> 00:34:08,561
- Thank you, Mr. Carter. This is Mr. Leland...
- How do you do, Mr. Leland?
485
00:34:08,630 --> 00:34:11,565
Our new dramatic critic.
I hope I haven't made a mistake.
486
00:34:11,633 --> 00:34:13,828
- It is dramatic critic, right?
- That's right.
487
00:34:13,935 --> 00:34:17,530
- Are they standing for me?
- You? Oh, Mr. Kane.
488
00:34:18,039 --> 00:34:18,903
Standing?
489
00:34:18,973 --> 00:34:20,600
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
490
00:34:20,675 --> 00:34:23,041
I thought it would be a nice little gesture.
491
00:34:23,111 --> 00:34:26,239
- Ask them to sit down, will you, please.
- The new publisher.
492
00:34:26,781 --> 00:34:30,683
- You may resume your duties, gentlemen.
- Thank you.
493
00:34:30,752 --> 00:34:34,119
- I didn't know your plans.
- I don't know my plans myself.
494
00:34:34,422 --> 00:34:36,754
- Matter of fact, I haven't got any plans.
- No?
495
00:34:36,791 --> 00:34:39,817
Except to get out a newspaper.
496
00:34:44,098 --> 00:34:46,464
- Mr. Bernstein.
- Yes, Mr. Kane.
497
00:34:46,534 --> 00:34:48,900
Mr. Carter, this is Mr. Bernstein.
498
00:34:49,003 --> 00:34:53,997
- Mr. Bernstein is my general manager.
- How do you do, Mr. Carter?
499
00:34:54,075 --> 00:34:55,975
- Mr. Carter.
- How do you do?
500
00:34:56,978 --> 00:34:59,310
- Yes, Mr. Bernstein.
- Stein.
501
00:34:59,380 --> 00:35:03,043
- Kane.
- Mr. Carter, is this your office?
502
00:35:03,117 --> 00:35:07,281
My little private sanctum
is at your disposal.
503
00:35:07,355 --> 00:35:10,756
- Excuse me.
- But I don't think I understand.
504
00:35:11,159 --> 00:35:15,152
Mr. Carter, I'm going to live right here
in your office as long as I have to.
505
00:35:16,264 --> 00:35:18,232
Live here? Yes?
506
00:35:18,299 --> 00:35:21,291
- Excuse me.
- But a morning newspaper, after all...
507
00:35:21,369 --> 00:35:22,199
Excuse me.
508
00:35:22,270 --> 00:35:26,138
We're practically closed for 12 hours a day.
509
00:35:26,441 --> 00:35:29,569
That's one of the things
that's going to have to be changed here.
510
00:35:29,644 --> 00:35:33,205
- The news goes on for 24 hours a day.
- 24?
511
00:35:33,348 --> 00:35:36,681
- That's right.
- Excuse me.
512
00:35:36,751 --> 00:35:38,446
It's impossible...
513
00:35:38,519 --> 00:35:43,547
I've drawn that cartoon.
I'm no good as a cartoonist.
514
00:35:43,625 --> 00:35:45,217
You certainly aren't.
515
00:35:45,293 --> 00:35:47,124
You're the dramatic critic, Leland.
516
00:35:47,195 --> 00:35:49,163
- You still eating?
- I'm still hungry.
517
00:35:49,230 --> 00:35:51,721
Here's a front-page story in the Chronicle...
518
00:35:51,766 --> 00:35:54,894
...about a Mrs. Harry Silverstone
in Brooklyn who's missing.
519
00:35:55,003 --> 00:35:59,633
She's probably murdered. Why isn't
there something about it in the Inquirer?
520
00:35:59,707 --> 00:36:01,504
We're running a newspaper...
521
00:36:01,576 --> 00:36:04,511
- I'm absolutely starving to death.
... not a scandal sheet.
522
00:36:05,413 --> 00:36:06,641
That's all right.
523
00:36:06,714 --> 00:36:10,707
Mr. Carter, here is a three-column headline
in the Chronicle.
524
00:36:10,785 --> 00:36:13,345
Why hasn't the Inquirer
a three-column headline?
525
00:36:13,421 --> 00:36:14,854
The news wasn't big enough.
526
00:36:14,923 --> 00:36:19,690
Mr. Carter, if the headline is big enough,
it makes the news big enough.
527
00:36:19,761 --> 00:36:22,389
- That's right!
- The murder of Mrs. Harry Silverstone...
528
00:36:22,463 --> 00:36:24,658
There's no proof
that she was murdered, or dead.
529
00:36:24,732 --> 00:36:27,599
It says she's missing.
The neighbors are getting suspicious.
530
00:36:27,669 --> 00:36:30,570
It's not our function
to report the gossip of housewives.
531
00:36:30,638 --> 00:36:34,836
If we were interested in that kind of thing,
we could fill the paper twice over, daily.
532
00:36:34,909 --> 00:36:38,310
That's the kind of thing we are going to be
interested in from now on.
533
00:36:38,379 --> 00:36:41,371
I want you to send your best man
to see Mr. Silverstone.
534
00:36:41,449 --> 00:36:45,317
Have him tell Mr. Silverstone if he doesn't
produce his wife, Mrs. Silverstone...
535
00:36:45,386 --> 00:36:47,479
...the Inquirer will have him arrested.
536
00:36:47,555 --> 00:36:50,046
Tell Mr. Silverstone
he's a detective from...
537
00:36:50,124 --> 00:36:52,592
- Central Office.
- The Central Office.
538
00:36:52,860 --> 00:36:57,422
If Mr. Silverstone gets suspicious
and asks to see your man's badge...
539
00:36:57,498 --> 00:37:01,332
...your man is to get indignant
and call Mr. Silverstone an anarchist.
540
00:37:01,569 --> 00:37:04,766
Loudly, so the neighbors can hear.
You ready for dinner, Jedediah?
541
00:37:04,839 --> 00:37:08,138
I can't see that the function
of a respectable newspaper...
542
00:37:08,276 --> 00:37:11,370
Thank you so much, Mr. Carter. Goodbye.
543
00:37:11,946 --> 00:37:13,208
Goodbye.
544
00:37:13,915 --> 00:37:16,782
Paper! Read all about it!
545
00:37:16,985 --> 00:37:19,920
Read all about it
in the early morning Chronicle.
546
00:37:19,988 --> 00:37:22,479
The mystery of the lady
that vanished in Brooklyn.
547
00:37:23,858 --> 00:37:26,418
Read all about it
in the early morning Chronicle.
548
00:37:40,074 --> 00:37:43,703
We'll be on the street soon,
Charlie, another 10 minutes.
549
00:37:43,811 --> 00:37:46,541
Three hours and 50 minutes late,
but we did it.
550
00:37:46,614 --> 00:37:48,172
- Tired?
- A tough day.
551
00:37:48,249 --> 00:37:49,841
- A wasted day.
- Wasted?
552
00:37:49,951 --> 00:37:52,852
You only made the paper over
four times tonight, that's all.
553
00:37:53,121 --> 00:37:56,579
I've changed the front page a little,
Mr. Bernstein. That's not enough.
554
00:37:56,657 --> 00:38:00,855
There's something I've got to get into
this paper besides pictures and print.
555
00:38:01,462 --> 00:38:04,590
I've got to make the New York Inquirer
as important to New York...
556
00:38:04,665 --> 00:38:06,565
...as the gas in that light.
557
00:38:07,201 --> 00:38:08,964
What are you going to do, Charlie?
558
00:38:09,037 --> 00:38:13,235
My Declaration of Principles.
Don't smile, Jedediah.
559
00:38:13,641 --> 00:38:16,132
I've got it all written out here.
560
00:38:16,677 --> 00:38:19,703
You don't want to make any promises
you don't want to keep.
561
00:38:19,781 --> 00:38:21,476
These'll be kept.
562
00:38:22,350 --> 00:38:24,784
"I'll provide the people of this city...
563
00:38:25,186 --> 00:38:28,747
"... with a daily paper
that will tell all the news honestly.
564
00:38:29,957 --> 00:38:33,358
- "I will also provide... "
- That's two sentences starting with "I."
565
00:38:33,428 --> 00:38:35,988
People will know who's responsible...
566
00:38:36,064 --> 00:38:40,160
...and they'll get the truth in the Inquirer,
quickly, simply and entertainingly.
567
00:38:40,234 --> 00:38:43,601
No special interests will be allowed
to interfere with that truth.
568
00:38:43,671 --> 00:38:47,573
"I will also provide them with a fighting
and tireless champion of their rights...
569
00:38:47,642 --> 00:38:50,270
"... as citizens and as human beings. "
570
00:38:50,912 --> 00:38:52,243
Signed:
571
00:38:52,613 --> 00:38:55,207
"Charles Foster Kane. "
572
00:38:57,151 --> 00:38:59,813
- Can I have that, Charlie?
- I'm going to print it.
573
00:38:59,887 --> 00:39:01,354
Solly!
574
00:39:02,356 --> 00:39:03,448
Yes, Mr. Kane?
575
00:39:03,524 --> 00:39:06,391
I want you to run this editorial
in a box on the front page.
576
00:39:06,461 --> 00:39:07,928
This morning's front page?
577
00:39:07,995 --> 00:39:11,055
That's right, Solly,
that means we'll have to remake again.
578
00:39:11,165 --> 00:39:12,962
- Yes.
- Go down and tell them.
579
00:39:13,034 --> 00:39:14,399
All right.
580
00:39:14,669 --> 00:39:18,366
When you're through with that,
I'd like to have it back.
581
00:39:20,041 --> 00:39:23,374
I'd like to keep that particular
piece of paper myself.
582
00:39:23,444 --> 00:39:27,505
I have a hunch it might turn out
to be something pretty important.
583
00:39:27,782 --> 00:39:29,943
- A document...
- Sure.
584
00:39:30,017 --> 00:39:33,475
...like the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution...
585
00:39:34,255 --> 00:39:36,780
...and my first report card at school.
586
00:40:05,086 --> 00:40:08,419
I know you're tired, gentlemen,
but I brought you here for a reason.
587
00:40:08,489 --> 00:40:12,118
- This little pilgrimage will do us good.
- The Chronicle's a good newspaper.
588
00:40:12,226 --> 00:40:15,320
Chronicle's a good idea for a newspaper.
Notice the circulation.
589
00:40:15,396 --> 00:40:20,299
495,000.
But look who's working for the Chronicle.
590
00:40:20,368 --> 00:40:23,565
- With them, it's no trick to get circulation.
- You're right.
591
00:40:23,771 --> 00:40:27,036
You know how long it took the Chronicle
to get that staff together?
592
00:40:27,108 --> 00:40:29,872
- Twenty years.
- Twenty years?
593
00:40:30,444 --> 00:40:35,541
Six years ago, I looked at a picture
of the world's greatest newspaper men.
594
00:40:35,616 --> 00:40:37,811
I felt like a kid in front of a candy store.
595
00:40:37,885 --> 00:40:41,878
Tonight, six years later,
I got my candy, all of it.
596
00:40:42,456 --> 00:40:44,424
Welcome, gentlemen, to the Inquirer.
597
00:40:44,492 --> 00:40:47,586
Make an extra copy of that picture
and mail it to the Chronicle.
598
00:40:49,197 --> 00:40:52,598
It'll make you all happy to learn
that our circulation this morning...
599
00:40:52,667 --> 00:40:55,465
...was the greatest in New York: 684,000.
600
00:40:56,971 --> 00:40:59,963
684,132.
601
00:41:00,208 --> 00:41:01,402
Right.
602
00:41:01,909 --> 00:41:05,640
I hope you'll forgive my rudeness
in taking leave of you.
603
00:41:05,713 --> 00:41:08,147
I'm going abroad next week for a vacation.
604
00:41:08,216 --> 00:41:11,777
I've promised my doctor for sometime
that I would leave when I could.
605
00:41:11,852 --> 00:41:13,820
I now realize I can't.
606
00:41:14,388 --> 00:41:16,982
Say, Mr. Kane,
as long as you're promising...
607
00:41:17,058 --> 00:41:20,994
...there's a lot of pictures and statues
in Europe you ain't bought yet.
608
00:41:21,162 --> 00:41:23,062
You can't blame me, Mr. Bernstein.
609
00:41:23,497 --> 00:41:26,159
They've been making statues
for 2,000 years.
610
00:41:26,234 --> 00:41:28,361
And I've only been buying for five.
611
00:41:28,436 --> 00:41:30,961
- Promise me, Mr. Kane.
- I promise, Mr. Bernstein.
612
00:41:31,038 --> 00:41:33,871
- Thank you.
- Mr. Bernstein?
613
00:41:33,941 --> 00:41:37,206
You don't expect me to keep
any of those promises, do you?
614
00:41:39,013 --> 00:41:41,106
And now, gentlemen!
615
00:41:41,182 --> 00:41:44,447
Your complete attention, if you please.
616
00:41:50,358 --> 00:41:53,452
Are we going to declare war on Spain?
617
00:42:01,269 --> 00:42:04,796
Oh, mama, here they come.
Shoot me while I'm happy.
618
00:42:12,980 --> 00:42:18,282
I said, "Are we going to declare
war on Spain, or are we not? "
619
00:42:18,386 --> 00:42:20,217
The Inquirer already has.
620
00:42:20,554 --> 00:42:24,388
You long-faced, overdressed anarchist.
621
00:42:24,625 --> 00:42:26,388
I'm not overdressed.
622
00:42:26,527 --> 00:42:29,724
You are, too.
Mr. Bernstein, look at his necktie.
623
00:42:29,797 --> 00:42:31,924
Let's have the song about Charlie.
624
00:42:31,999 --> 00:42:35,435
- Is there a song about Charlie?
- Is there a song about you, Mr. Kane?
625
00:42:35,503 --> 00:42:39,803
You buy a bag of peanuts in this town,
you get a song written about you.
626
00:42:49,684 --> 00:42:51,982
I've seen that fellow. He's good.
627
00:42:52,186 --> 00:42:53,619
Good evening, Mr. Kane.
628
00:42:53,688 --> 00:42:56,657
"There is a man, a certain man
629
00:42:56,824 --> 00:43:00,157
"And for the poor you may be sure
that he'll do all he can
630
00:43:00,294 --> 00:43:03,752
"Who is this one? This favorite son
631
00:43:03,798 --> 00:43:06,767
"Just by his action
has the traction magnates on the run
632
00:43:06,834 --> 00:43:10,133
"Who loves to smoke, enjoys a joke
633
00:43:10,338 --> 00:43:13,432
"Who wouldn't get a bit upset
if he were really broke
634
00:43:13,574 --> 00:43:16,737
"With wealth and fame he's still the same
635
00:43:16,777 --> 00:43:20,304
"I'll bet you $5 you're not alive
if you don't know his name
636
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:27,587
"What is his name?
637
00:43:27,655 --> 00:43:30,146
"It's Charlie Kane, it's Mister Kane!
638
00:43:30,224 --> 00:43:34,058
"He doesn't like that Mister
He likes good old Charlie Kane"
639
00:43:49,744 --> 00:43:52,770
- Isn't it wonderful? Such a party.
- Yes.
640
00:43:52,813 --> 00:43:54,610
What's the matter?
641
00:43:54,782 --> 00:43:58,047
"Who says a miss was made to kiss
642
00:43:58,119 --> 00:44:01,384
"And when he meets one
always tries to do exactly this
643
00:44:01,489 --> 00:44:04,549
"Who buys the food, who buys the drinks
644
00:44:04,625 --> 00:44:07,958
"Who thinks that dough was made
to spend and acts the way he thinks
645
00:44:08,028 --> 00:44:10,792
"Now is it, Joe, no, no, no"
646
00:44:11,532 --> 00:44:14,160
Bernstein, these men
who are now with the Inquirer...
647
00:44:14,235 --> 00:44:16,931
...who were with the Chronicle
until yesterday...
648
00:44:17,071 --> 00:44:18,698
Oh, mama, please.
649
00:44:18,773 --> 00:44:20,263
- Give me that.
- What? The blonde?
650
00:44:20,341 --> 00:44:24,004
- No, the brunette.
- Where did you learn that, Charlie?
651
00:44:25,279 --> 00:44:28,510
Bernstein, these men
who were with the Chronicle...
652
00:44:28,582 --> 00:44:31,642
...weren't they just as devoted
to the Chronicle policy...
653
00:44:31,786 --> 00:44:33,947
...as they are now to our policies?
654
00:44:34,054 --> 00:44:36,784
Sure, they're just like anybody else.
655
00:44:37,024 --> 00:44:39,083
They got work to do, they do it.
656
00:44:39,393 --> 00:44:42,362
Only they happen to be
the best men in the business.
657
00:44:50,738 --> 00:44:55,004
Do we stand for the same things
the Chronicle stands for?
658
00:44:55,209 --> 00:44:56,972
Certainly not.
659
00:44:57,978 --> 00:45:03,041
Listen, Mr. Kane, he'll have them changed
to his kind of newspapermen in a week.
660
00:45:03,217 --> 00:45:07,051
There's always a chance, of course,
that they'll change Mr. Kane.
661
00:45:07,755 --> 00:45:09,120
Without his knowing it.
662
00:45:12,626 --> 00:45:16,153
Mr. Leland, I got a cable from Mr. Kane!
663
00:45:18,632 --> 00:45:21,294
- I got a cable here from Mr. Kane.
- What?
664
00:45:21,368 --> 00:45:23,302
- From Paris, France.
- What?
665
00:45:23,404 --> 00:45:26,373
- From Paris, France.
- Come on in.
666
00:45:27,308 --> 00:45:32,245
"Who by his action
has the traction magnates on the run"
667
00:45:32,580 --> 00:45:37,711
It's a good thing he promised
not to send back any more statues.
668
00:45:39,019 --> 00:45:41,783
Look, he wants to buy
the world's biggest diamond.
669
00:45:41,822 --> 00:45:45,383
Why didn't you go to Europe with him?
He wanted you to.
670
00:45:45,459 --> 00:45:48,189
I wanted Charlie to have fun,
with me along...
671
00:45:48,362 --> 00:45:50,592
Bernstein, am I a stuffed shirt?
672
00:45:50,664 --> 00:45:55,328
Am I a horse-faced hypocrite?
Am I a New England schoolmarm?
673
00:45:56,103 --> 00:45:57,400
Yes.
674
00:45:58,706 --> 00:46:03,234
If you thought I'd answer you different
from what Mr. Kane tells you, I wouldn't.
675
00:46:03,310 --> 00:46:04,777
"World's biggest diamond. "
676
00:46:04,812 --> 00:46:07,178
I didn't know Charlie
was collecting diamonds.
677
00:46:07,248 --> 00:46:08,772
He ain't.
678
00:46:08,849 --> 00:46:12,046
He's collecting somebody
that's collecting diamonds.
679
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,648
Anyway, he ain't only collecting statues.
680
00:46:17,725 --> 00:46:19,784
"Welcome home, Mr. Kane...
681
00:46:19,860 --> 00:46:23,660
"... from 467 employees
of the New York Inquirer. "
682
00:46:23,731 --> 00:46:25,221
Here he comes!
683
00:46:29,270 --> 00:46:31,067
Welcome, Mr. Kane.
684
00:46:31,872 --> 00:46:33,737
- I know I've a moustache.
- It looks awful.
685
00:46:33,774 --> 00:46:37,369
Have we got a society editor?
686
00:46:37,444 --> 00:46:40,379
- Right here, Mr. Kane.
- Miss Townsend is the society editor.
687
00:46:40,447 --> 00:46:43,143
Miss Townsend,
this is Mr. Charles Foster Kane.
688
00:46:44,318 --> 00:46:48,448
Miss Townsend, I've been away so long.
I don't know your routine.
689
00:46:49,623 --> 00:46:52,751
I got a little social announcement.
690
00:46:52,793 --> 00:46:56,786
I wish you wouldn't treat this
any differently than you would any other...
691
00:46:56,997 --> 00:46:58,658
...social announcement.
692
00:46:59,266 --> 00:47:02,326
Mr. Kane, on behalf of all the employees
of the Inquirer...
693
00:47:02,403 --> 00:47:05,930
Mr. Bernstein,
thank you very much, everybody, I...
694
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,936
I'm sorry, I can't accept it now.
695
00:47:11,111 --> 00:47:12,578
Goodbye.
696
00:47:13,247 --> 00:47:15,442
Say, he was in an awful hurry.
697
00:47:16,417 --> 00:47:18,544
Hey, everybody, look out here.
698
00:47:18,686 --> 00:47:20,654
Let's go to the window.
699
00:47:20,854 --> 00:47:23,789
- Mr. Leland! Mr. Bernstein!
- Yes, Ms. Townsend?
700
00:47:23,824 --> 00:47:26,725
This announcement:
"Mr. And Mrs. Thomas Monroe Norton...
701
00:47:26,794 --> 00:47:30,321
"... announce the engagement
of their daughter, Emily Monroe Norton...
702
00:47:30,397 --> 00:47:32,160
"... to Mr. Charles Foster Kane. "
703
00:47:32,232 --> 00:47:33,790
Come on.
704
00:47:36,270 --> 00:47:41,139
Emily Monroe Norton, she's the niece
of the President of the United States.
705
00:47:41,342 --> 00:47:43,242
President's niece?
706
00:47:43,544 --> 00:47:46,843
Before he's through,
she'll be a president's wife.
707
00:47:55,222 --> 00:47:58,623
The way things turned out,
I don't need to tell you.
708
00:47:58,726 --> 00:48:01,422
Miss Emily Norton was no rosebud.
709
00:48:01,528 --> 00:48:03,621
It didn't end very well, did it?
710
00:48:04,064 --> 00:48:05,326
It ended.
711
00:48:06,433 --> 00:48:09,925
Then there was Susie. That ended, too.
712
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,867
You know, Mr. Thompson, I was thinking...
713
00:48:15,709 --> 00:48:18,610
...this Rosebud
you're trying to find out about...
714
00:48:19,847 --> 00:48:21,178
Yes?
715
00:48:25,586 --> 00:48:27,986
Maybe that was something he lost.
716
00:48:28,822 --> 00:48:32,189
Mr. Kane was a man who lost
almost everything he had.
717
00:48:32,860 --> 00:48:35,124
You ought to see Jed Leland.
718
00:48:35,195 --> 00:48:38,392
Of course, he and Mr. Kane
didn't exactly see eye to eye.
719
00:48:38,465 --> 00:48:40,456
You take the Spanish-American war.
720
00:48:40,534 --> 00:48:43,901
I guess Mr. Leland was right.
That was Mr. Kane's war.
721
00:48:43,971 --> 00:48:46,963
We didn't really have anything
to fight about.
722
00:48:47,775 --> 00:48:51,336
Do you think if it hadn't been for that war
of Mr. Kane's...
723
00:48:51,645 --> 00:48:54,409
...we'd have the Panama Canal?
724
00:48:55,049 --> 00:48:57,540
I wish I knew where Mr. Leland was.
725
00:48:58,152 --> 00:49:01,315
A lot of the time now
they don't tell me these things.
726
00:49:02,623 --> 00:49:04,454
Maybe even he's dead.
727
00:49:04,558 --> 00:49:06,287
In case you'd like to know...
728
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,329
...he's at the Huntington Memorial Hospital
on 180th Street.
729
00:49:09,396 --> 00:49:10,886
You don't say. I had...
730
00:49:10,964 --> 00:49:13,865
Nothing particular the matter with him,
they tell me, just...
731
00:49:13,934 --> 00:49:16,528
Just old age.
732
00:49:17,838 --> 00:49:22,741
It's the only disease that you don't
look forward to being cured of.
733
00:49:34,888 --> 00:49:37,755
I can remember absolutely everything,
young man.
734
00:49:37,825 --> 00:49:39,122
That's my curse.
735
00:49:39,193 --> 00:49:43,755
That's one of the greatest curses
ever inflicted on the human race: Memory.
736
00:49:44,732 --> 00:49:49,567
I was his oldest friend, and as far as
I was concerned, he behaved like a swine.
737
00:49:49,803 --> 00:49:53,899
Not that Charlie was ever brutal.
He just did brutal things.
738
00:49:54,675 --> 00:49:58,941
Maybe I wasn't his friend,
but if I wasn't, he never had one.
739
00:49:59,213 --> 00:50:02,774
Maybe I was what you nowadays
call a stooge.
740
00:50:02,883 --> 00:50:05,249
You were about to say something
about Rosebud.
741
00:50:05,319 --> 00:50:07,549
Do you happen to have a good cigar?
742
00:50:07,621 --> 00:50:11,489
I've got a young physician here
who thinks I'm going to give up smoking.
743
00:50:11,558 --> 00:50:13,856
No, I'm afraid I haven't. Sorry.
744
00:50:14,194 --> 00:50:15,889
I changed the subject, didn't I?
745
00:50:15,963 --> 00:50:18,431
What a disagreeable old man
I have become.
746
00:50:19,366 --> 00:50:24,201
You're a reporter and you want to know
what I think about Charlie Kane.
747
00:50:27,641 --> 00:50:30,166
I suppose he had some private sort
of greatness.
748
00:50:30,244 --> 00:50:31,973
But he kept it to himself.
749
00:50:32,045 --> 00:50:35,014
He never gave himself away.
He never gave anything away.
750
00:50:35,082 --> 00:50:38,074
He just left you a tip.
751
00:50:39,553 --> 00:50:40,952
He had a generous mind.
752
00:50:41,021 --> 00:50:44,218
I don't suppose anybody
ever had so many opinions.
753
00:50:44,491 --> 00:50:47,221
But he never believed in anything
except Charlie Kane.
754
00:50:47,294 --> 00:50:50,923
He never had a conviction
except Charlie Kane in his life.
755
00:50:51,198 --> 00:50:53,428
I suppose he died without one.
756
00:50:53,567 --> 00:50:56,161
That must have been pretty unpleasant.
757
00:50:56,503 --> 00:51:01,167
Of course, a lot of us check out without
having any special convictions about death.
758
00:51:01,241 --> 00:51:04,506
But we do know what we're leaving.
We do believe in something.
759
00:51:05,179 --> 00:51:08,239
Are you absolutely sure
you haven't got a cigar?
760
00:51:08,382 --> 00:51:10,373
- Sorry, Mr. Leland.
- Never mind.
761
00:51:10,450 --> 00:51:14,079
- What do you know about Rosebud?
- "Rosebud"?
762
00:51:15,055 --> 00:51:18,286
His dying words: "Rosebud. "
763
00:51:18,625 --> 00:51:20,718
I saw that in the Inquirer.
764
00:51:21,728 --> 00:51:24,720
I never believed anything
I saw in the Inquirer.
765
00:51:24,798 --> 00:51:26,231
Anything else?
766
00:51:26,300 --> 00:51:29,997
I can tell you about Emily.
I went to dancing school with Emily.
767
00:51:30,404 --> 00:51:32,167
I was very graceful.
768
00:51:33,140 --> 00:51:36,507
- We were talking about the first Mrs. Kane.
- What was she like?
769
00:51:36,577 --> 00:51:39,102
She was like all the girls I knew
in dancing school.
770
00:51:39,179 --> 00:51:42,205
Very nice girl. Emily was a little nicer.
771
00:51:43,684 --> 00:51:45,743
After the first couple of months...
772
00:51:45,786 --> 00:51:50,120
...she and Charlie didn't see much
of each other except at breakfast.
773
00:51:50,791 --> 00:51:53,453
It was a marriage
just like any other marriage.
774
00:52:03,670 --> 00:52:05,365
- You're beautiful.
- I can't be.
775
00:52:05,439 --> 00:52:07,202
Yes, you are. You're very beautiful.
776
00:52:07,274 --> 00:52:09,799
I've never been to six parties
in one night before.
777
00:52:10,077 --> 00:52:12,807
- I've never been up this late.
- It's a matter of habit.
778
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,849
- What will the servants think?
- That we enjoyed ourselves.
779
00:52:15,949 --> 00:52:18,474
Why do you have to go straight off
to the newspaper?
780
00:52:18,552 --> 00:52:22,249
You never should've married a
newspaperman, they're worse than sailors.
781
00:52:23,190 --> 00:52:25,090
I absolutely adore you.
782
00:52:25,893 --> 00:52:28,828
Charles, even newspapermen
have to sleep.
783
00:52:30,330 --> 00:52:33,766
I'll call Mr. Bernstein and have him
put off my appointments till noon.
784
00:52:35,102 --> 00:52:36,194
What time is it?
785
00:52:36,803 --> 00:52:38,498
I don't know. It's late.
786
00:52:40,807 --> 00:52:42,775
It's early.
787
00:52:42,876 --> 00:52:44,605
Charles...
788
00:52:45,212 --> 00:52:48,181
Do you know how long
you kept me waiting last night...
789
00:52:48,248 --> 00:52:51,081
...when you went to the newspaper
for 10 minutes?
790
00:52:51,318 --> 00:52:54,515
What do you do in a newspaper
in the middle of the night?
791
00:52:54,655 --> 00:52:59,649
My dear, your only correspondent
is the Inquirer.
792
00:52:59,726 --> 00:53:02,524
Sometimes I think I'd prefer a rival
of flesh and blood.
793
00:53:02,596 --> 00:53:05,156
I don't spend that much time
on the newspaper.
794
00:53:05,232 --> 00:53:09,328
It isn't just the time.
It's what you print, attacking the President.
795
00:53:09,403 --> 00:53:12,634
- You mean Uncle John.
- I mean the President of the United States.
796
00:53:12,706 --> 00:53:15,174
He's still Uncle John
and a well-meaning fathead...
797
00:53:15,242 --> 00:53:18,643
...who's letting a pack of high-pressure
crooks run his administration.
798
00:53:18,712 --> 00:53:22,512
- This whole oil scandal...
- He happens to be the President, not you.
799
00:53:22,582 --> 00:53:25,415
That's a mistake that will be corrected
one of these days.
800
00:53:25,485 --> 00:53:30,752
Your Mr. Bernstein sent Junior
the most incredible atrocity yesterday.
801
00:53:31,725 --> 00:53:34,421
I simply can't have it in the nursery.
802
00:53:36,530 --> 00:53:39,795
Mr. Bernstein is apt to pay a visit
to the nursery now and then.
803
00:53:39,866 --> 00:53:41,493
Does he have to?
804
00:53:42,536 --> 00:53:43,594
Yes.
805
00:53:43,704 --> 00:53:48,141
- Really, Charles, people will think...
- What I tell them to think.
806
00:54:06,927 --> 00:54:08,952
Wasn't he ever in love with her?
807
00:54:09,162 --> 00:54:10,891
He married for love.
808
00:54:11,798 --> 00:54:13,197
Love.
809
00:54:13,834 --> 00:54:15,597
That is why he did everything.
810
00:54:15,669 --> 00:54:18,638
That's why he went into politics.
It seems we weren't enough.
811
00:54:18,705 --> 00:54:21,765
He wanted all the voters to love him, too.
812
00:54:22,442 --> 00:54:24,933
All he wanted out of life was love.
813
00:54:25,779 --> 00:54:28,976
That's Charlie's story. How he lost it.
814
00:54:29,216 --> 00:54:32,413
You see, he just didn't have any to give.
815
00:54:33,420 --> 00:54:36,218
He loved Charlie Kane, of course.
816
00:54:36,790 --> 00:54:38,223
Very dearly.
817
00:54:38,925 --> 00:54:41,189
And his mother,
I guess he always loved her.
818
00:54:41,261 --> 00:54:44,321
- How about his second wife?
- Susan Alexander?
819
00:54:45,098 --> 00:54:47,259
You know what Charlie called her?
820
00:54:47,467 --> 00:54:50,231
The day after he'd met her,
he told me about her.
821
00:54:50,404 --> 00:54:55,307
He said she was
"a cross-section of the American public. "
822
00:54:57,544 --> 00:55:01,173
I guess he couldn't help it.
She must have had something for him.
823
00:55:01,314 --> 00:55:04,044
That first night, according to Charlie...
824
00:55:05,152 --> 00:55:07,518
...all she had was a toothache.
825
00:55:38,676 --> 00:55:41,167
What are you laughing at, young lady?
826
00:55:43,047 --> 00:55:45,845
- What's the matter with you?
- Toothache.
827
00:55:45,916 --> 00:55:47,679
- What?
- Toothache.
828
00:55:47,751 --> 00:55:49,048
Toothache?
829
00:55:52,523 --> 00:55:54,548
You mean you've got a toothache.
830
00:55:55,459 --> 00:55:58,360
- What's funny about that?
- You're funny, mister.
831
00:55:58,429 --> 00:56:00,989
- You've got dirt on your face.
- Not dirt, it's mud.
832
00:56:01,065 --> 00:56:03,397
Do you want some hot water?
I live right here.
833
00:56:03,467 --> 00:56:05,435
What's that, young lady?
834
00:56:06,704 --> 00:56:09,104
I said, if you wanted some hot water...
835
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:13,604
...I could get you some... hot water.
836
00:56:17,181 --> 00:56:19,513
All right, thank you very much.
837
00:56:33,864 --> 00:56:35,832
Do I look any better now?
838
00:56:35,899 --> 00:56:40,632
- This medicine doesn't do a bit of good.
- What you need is to get your mind off it.
839
00:56:45,809 --> 00:56:48,903
Excuse me, but my landlady
prefers me to keep this door open...
840
00:56:49,146 --> 00:56:52,138
...when I have a gentleman caller.
- All right.
841
00:56:52,216 --> 00:56:54,309
You have got a toothache, haven't you?
842
00:56:54,418 --> 00:56:57,478
- I surely have.
- Why don't you try laughing at me again?
843
00:56:57,554 --> 00:56:59,522
- What?
- I'm still pretty funny.
844
00:56:59,590 --> 00:57:02,150
I know, but you don't want me
to laugh at you.
845
00:57:02,226 --> 00:57:04,285
I don't want your tooth to hurt, either.
846
00:57:04,395 --> 00:57:05,692
Look at me.
847
00:57:06,096 --> 00:57:07,222
See that?
848
00:57:07,298 --> 00:57:08,663
What are you doing?
849
00:57:08,732 --> 00:57:11,200
I'm wiggling both my ears
at the same time.
850
00:57:13,404 --> 00:57:15,167
That's it, smile.
851
00:57:17,875 --> 00:57:21,709
It took me two solid years at the best
boys' school in the world to learn that.
852
00:57:21,779 --> 00:57:24,942
The fellow who taught me
is now president of Venezuela.
853
00:57:26,917 --> 00:57:28,316
That's it!
854
00:57:32,122 --> 00:57:34,750
- Is it a giraffe?
- No, not a giraffe.
855
00:57:34,825 --> 00:57:37,726
- I bet it is.
- What?
856
00:57:37,795 --> 00:57:39,922
Well, then it's an elephant.
857
00:57:40,064 --> 00:57:43,830
- It's supposed to be a rooster.
- A rooster!
858
00:57:44,301 --> 00:57:48,135
You know an awful lot of tricks.
Are you a professional magician?
859
00:57:48,205 --> 00:57:50,833
- No, I'm not a magician.
- I was just joking.
860
00:57:50,908 --> 00:57:52,569
You really don't know who I am?
861
00:57:52,643 --> 00:57:55,737
You told me your name, Mr. Kane,
but I'm awfully ignorant.
862
00:57:55,813 --> 00:58:00,273
I guess you caught on to that.
I bet I've heard your name a million times.
863
00:58:00,484 --> 00:58:03,578
You really like me, though,
even though you don't know who I am?
864
00:58:03,654 --> 00:58:07,090
I surely do. You've been wonderful.
865
00:58:08,158 --> 00:58:10,922
Without you I don't know
what I would have done.
866
00:58:10,961 --> 00:58:14,294
I had a toothache,
and I don't know many people.
867
00:58:14,631 --> 00:58:16,531
I know too many people.
868
00:58:16,934 --> 00:58:18,959
I guess we're both lonely.
869
00:58:19,269 --> 00:58:23,228
Want to know what I was going to do
before I ruined my best Sunday clothes?
870
00:58:23,307 --> 00:58:26,606
I bet they're not your best Sunday clothes.
You probably have more.
871
00:58:26,677 --> 00:58:27,871
I was just joking.
872
00:58:29,613 --> 00:58:33,549
I was on my way
to the Western Manhattan Warehouse...
873
00:58:33,617 --> 00:58:35,642
...in search of my youth.
874
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:41,316
You see, my mother died a long time ago.
Her things were put in storage out West.
875
00:58:41,392 --> 00:58:43,883
There wasn't any other place to put them.
876
00:58:43,927 --> 00:58:47,988
I thought I'd send for them now.
Tonight I was going to take a look at them.
877
00:58:48,065 --> 00:58:50,295
A sort of sentimental journey.
878
00:58:53,904 --> 00:58:56,202
I run a couple of newspapers.
What do you do?
879
00:58:56,273 --> 00:58:57,297
Me?
880
00:58:57,608 --> 00:58:59,838
- How old did you say you were?
- I didn't say.
881
00:58:59,910 --> 00:59:02,606
If you had, I wouldn't have asked you.
882
00:59:02,679 --> 00:59:03,907
- How old?
- Pretty old.
883
00:59:03,981 --> 00:59:06,074
- How old?
- Twenty-two in August.
884
00:59:06,150 --> 00:59:08,175
That's a ripe old age. What do you do?
885
00:59:08,252 --> 00:59:11,744
I work at Seligman's.
I'm in charge of the sheet music.
886
00:59:11,989 --> 00:59:16,619
- Is that what you want to do?
- No, I wanted to be a singer, I guess.
887
00:59:17,327 --> 00:59:20,922
- That is, I didn't. My mother did for me.
- What happened to the singing?
888
00:59:20,998 --> 00:59:25,025
Mother always thought, she always talked
about grand opera for me.
889
00:59:25,102 --> 00:59:26,330
Imagine.
890
00:59:26,637 --> 00:59:30,869
But my voice isn't that kind.
It's just, you know what mothers are like.
891
00:59:32,643 --> 00:59:33,871
Yes.
892
00:59:35,913 --> 00:59:38,711
- Have you got a piano?
- A piano?
893
00:59:39,683 --> 00:59:41,446
Yes, there's one in the parlor.
894
00:59:41,552 --> 00:59:44,612
- Would you sing for me?
- You wouldn't want to hear me sing.
895
00:59:44,688 --> 00:59:46,053
Yes, I would.
896
00:59:47,858 --> 00:59:50,088
Don't tell me
your toothache is bothering you.
897
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:51,923
No, that's all gone.
898
00:59:53,664 --> 00:59:55,632
All right.
899
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,329
Let's go to the parlor.
900
00:59:58,402 --> 01:00:04,204
"Yes, Lindor shall be mine
901
01:00:05,642 --> 01:00:09,134
"I have sworn it
902
01:00:10,013 --> 01:00:12,880
"For weal or woe
903
01:00:14,952 --> 01:00:17,716
"Yes, Lindor
904
01:00:24,461 --> 01:00:27,794
"Lo giurai
905
01:00:29,166 --> 01:00:33,068
"La vincerò"
906
01:00:41,111 --> 01:00:43,602
There is only one man
who can rid the politics...
907
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,945
...of this state of the evil domination
of Boss Jim Gettys.
908
01:00:47,017 --> 01:00:50,919
I am speaking of Charles Foster Kane,
the fighting liberal...
909
01:00:50,988 --> 01:00:54,549
...the friend of the workingman,
the next governor of this state...
910
01:00:54,658 --> 01:00:56,888
...who entered upon this campaign...
911
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:58,928
...with one purpose only:
912
01:00:58,996 --> 01:01:03,365
To point out
and make public the dishonesty...
913
01:01:03,634 --> 01:01:08,401
...the downright villainy
of Boss Jim W. Gettys' political machine...
914
01:01:08,739 --> 01:01:13,039
...now in complete control
of the government of this state.
915
01:01:13,477 --> 01:01:17,243
I made no campaign promises...
916
01:01:17,781 --> 01:01:22,377
...because. Until a few weeks ago.
I had no hope of being elected.
917
01:01:24,021 --> 01:01:28,185
Now. However. I have something more
than a hope.
918
01:01:31,428 --> 01:01:33,953
Jim Gettys has something less
than a chance.
919
01:01:38,368 --> 01:01:40,268
Every straw vote...
920
01:01:40,437 --> 01:01:45,272
...every independent poll shows
that I will be elected.
921
01:01:45,742 --> 01:01:47,403
Very well.
922
01:01:47,578 --> 01:01:50,342
Now I can afford to make some promises.
923
01:02:00,657 --> 01:02:02,818
The workingman and the slum child...
924
01:02:02,893 --> 01:02:08,024
...know they can expect
my best efforts in their interests.
925
01:02:08,098 --> 01:02:12,694
The decent. Ordinary citizens know
that I'll do everything in my power...
926
01:02:12,769 --> 01:02:17,934
...to protect the underprivileged.
The underpaid. And the underfed.
927
01:02:21,912 --> 01:02:26,246
- Mother, is Pop governor yet?
- Not yet, Junior.
928
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,487
I'd make my promises now...
929
01:02:33,824 --> 01:02:37,260
...if I weren't too busy
arranging to keep them.
930
01:02:41,865 --> 01:02:44,857
But here's one promise I'll make...
931
01:02:44,935 --> 01:02:47,961
...and Boss Jim Gettys knows I'll keep it.
932
01:02:49,272 --> 01:02:52,105
My first official act
as governor of this state...
933
01:02:52,509 --> 01:02:57,378
...will be to appoint a special district
attorney to arrange for the indictment...
934
01:02:57,614 --> 01:03:03,314
...prosecution and conviction
of Boss Jim W. Gettys.
935
01:03:29,546 --> 01:03:32,777
If the election were held today,
you'd be in by 100,000 votes.
936
01:03:32,849 --> 01:03:34,680
- Gettys isn't even pretending.
- Pop.
937
01:03:34,785 --> 01:03:36,912
- Hello, son.
- He isn't just scared, he's sick.
938
01:03:36,987 --> 01:03:39,854
It's beginning to dawn on Jim Gettys
I mean what I say.
939
01:03:39,890 --> 01:03:43,257
- Did you like your old man's speech?
- I could hear every word.
940
01:03:43,326 --> 01:03:44,987
- Hello, Emily.
- Hold it.
941
01:03:45,562 --> 01:03:48,224
- Great speech, Mr. Kane.
- Wonderful.
942
01:03:48,298 --> 01:03:50,630
Will you get us a taxi?
943
01:03:52,002 --> 01:03:54,903
I'm sending Junior home
in the car with Oliver.
944
01:03:55,272 --> 01:03:56,933
Good night, Father.
945
01:03:58,241 --> 01:04:00,106
Goodbye, son.
946
01:04:10,821 --> 01:04:14,279
Why did you send Junior home in the car?
What are you doing in a taxi?
947
01:04:14,357 --> 01:04:16,518
There's a call I want you to make with me.
948
01:04:16,593 --> 01:04:18,527
- It can wait.
- No, it can't.
949
01:04:18,595 --> 01:04:20,290
What's this all about, Emily?
950
01:04:20,363 --> 01:04:23,594
It may not be about anything at all.
I intend to find out.
951
01:04:23,700 --> 01:04:27,761
- Where are you going?
- I'm going to "185 West 74th Street. "
952
01:04:29,339 --> 01:04:32,240
If you wish, you may come with me.
953
01:04:36,413 --> 01:04:37,937
I'll come with you.
954
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:46,578
I had no idea you had this flair
for melodrama, Emily.
955
01:04:48,191 --> 01:04:50,159
Come right in, Mr. Kane.
956
01:05:00,737 --> 01:05:02,102
Charlie.
957
01:05:08,845 --> 01:05:11,905
He forced me to send your wife that letter.
I didn't want to.
958
01:05:11,982 --> 01:05:14,780
He's been saying the most terrible...
959
01:05:19,089 --> 01:05:20,750
Mrs. Kane.
960
01:05:22,759 --> 01:05:25,250
I don't suppose
anybody would introduce us.
961
01:05:26,730 --> 01:05:28,288
I'm Jim Gettys.
962
01:05:28,899 --> 01:05:30,059
Yes?
963
01:05:33,303 --> 01:05:37,034
I made Miss Alexander send you the note,
Mrs. Kane.
964
01:05:37,107 --> 01:05:39,371
She didn't want to at first. But she did it.
965
01:05:39,442 --> 01:05:42,275
Charlie, the things he said to me...
He threatened to...
966
01:05:43,380 --> 01:05:47,248
I won't wait until I'm elected.
To start with, I think I'll break your neck.
967
01:05:47,317 --> 01:05:50,081
Maybe you can do it, and maybe you can't.
968
01:05:51,154 --> 01:05:55,284
Your breaking this man's neck
would scarcely explain this note:
969
01:05:56,259 --> 01:06:00,127
"Serious consequences for Mr. Kane,
for yourself and for your son. "
970
01:06:00,197 --> 01:06:03,223
- He wanted to get her to come here...
- What does this note mean?
971
01:06:03,300 --> 01:06:05,860
I'm Susan Alexander.
I know what you're thinking...
972
01:06:05,969 --> 01:06:08,802
- What does this note mean, Ms. Alexander?
- She don't know.
973
01:06:08,872 --> 01:06:11,705
She sent it because I told her
it wouldn't be smart not to.
974
01:06:11,775 --> 01:06:15,074
- Emily, this gentleman...
- I'm not a gentleman.
975
01:06:15,312 --> 01:06:18,179
Your husband is only trying to be funny
calling me one.
976
01:06:18,248 --> 01:06:20,842
I don't even know what a gentleman is.
977
01:06:21,885 --> 01:06:25,116
You see, my idea of a gentleman...
978
01:06:28,325 --> 01:06:31,761
If I owned a paper and didn't like
the way somebody was doing things...
979
01:06:31,828 --> 01:06:34,262
...some politician,
I'd fight him with all I had.
980
01:06:34,331 --> 01:06:36,162
I wouldn't show him in a convict suit...
981
01:06:36,233 --> 01:06:38,599
...so his family could see his picture
in the paper.
982
01:06:38,668 --> 01:06:42,604
- You're a cheap, crooked grafter...
- We're talking now about what you are.
983
01:06:43,540 --> 01:06:46,373
I'm fighting for my life,
not just my political life.
984
01:06:46,443 --> 01:06:48,638
- He said unless you...
- That's what I said.
985
01:06:48,712 --> 01:06:52,705
Here's the chance I'm willing to give him.
It's more of a chance than he'd give me.
986
01:06:52,782 --> 01:06:57,549
Unless he decides by tomorrow that
he's so sick he has to go away for a year...
987
01:06:57,621 --> 01:07:01,921
...Monday morning, all papers in the state,
except his, will carry the story I'll give.
988
01:07:01,992 --> 01:07:03,391
What story?
989
01:07:04,194 --> 01:07:07,357
- The story about him and Ms. Alexander.
- There isn't any story!
990
01:07:07,430 --> 01:07:08,658
Shut up.
991
01:07:09,032 --> 01:07:11,830
We've got evidence that would look bad
in the headlines.
992
01:07:11,902 --> 01:07:14,564
Do you want me to give you the evidence?
993
01:07:16,673 --> 01:07:19,506
I'd rather he withdrew
without having the story published.
994
01:07:19,576 --> 01:07:22,636
Not that I care about him,
but I'd be better off that way.
995
01:07:25,582 --> 01:07:27,675
So would you, Mrs. Kane.
996
01:07:28,084 --> 01:07:30,143
What about me?
997
01:07:32,155 --> 01:07:35,989
He said my name would be dragged
through the mud. That everywhere I went...
998
01:07:36,059 --> 01:07:38,892
There seems to be only one decision
you can make, Charles.
999
01:07:39,529 --> 01:07:41,724
I'd say that it'd been made for you.
1000
01:07:43,366 --> 01:07:45,459
You can't tell me the voters of this state...
1001
01:07:45,702 --> 01:07:48,500
I'm not interested in the voters
of this state right now.
1002
01:07:48,571 --> 01:07:50,038
I am interested in our son.
1003
01:07:50,106 --> 01:07:53,269
- Charlie, if they publish this story...
- They won't.
1004
01:07:54,544 --> 01:07:56,705
Good night, Mr. Gettys.
1005
01:08:05,622 --> 01:08:07,715
Are you coming, Charles?
1006
01:08:09,926 --> 01:08:11,291
No.
1007
01:08:14,698 --> 01:08:16,325
I'm staying here.
1008
01:08:19,469 --> 01:08:21,562
I can fight this all alone.
1009
01:08:22,806 --> 01:08:25,297
If you don't listen to reason,
it may be too late.
1010
01:08:25,375 --> 01:08:29,334
Too late? For what?
1011
01:08:31,448 --> 01:08:34,713
For you and this public thief...
1012
01:08:35,051 --> 01:08:37,383
...to take the love of the people
away from me?
1013
01:08:37,454 --> 01:08:40,218
You got other things to think about.
Your little boy.
1014
01:08:40,357 --> 01:08:42,825
You don't want him to read about you
in the papers.
1015
01:08:42,892 --> 01:08:47,420
There's only one person in the world
to decide what I'll do. And that's me.
1016
01:08:50,266 --> 01:08:53,827
You decided what you were going to do,
Charles, some time ago.
1017
01:09:01,077 --> 01:09:03,739
You're making a bigger fool of yourself
than I thought.
1018
01:09:03,813 --> 01:09:06,179
- I've got nothing to say to you.
- You're licked...
1019
01:09:06,249 --> 01:09:09,650
Get out. If you want to see me,
have the warden write me a letter.
1020
01:09:09,886 --> 01:09:14,550
If it was anybody else, I'd say what's going
to happen to you would be a lesson to you.
1021
01:09:14,824 --> 01:09:17,520
Only you're going to need
more than one lesson.
1022
01:09:18,361 --> 01:09:22,388
- And you'll get more than one lesson.
- Don't worry about me, Gettys.
1023
01:09:24,034 --> 01:09:26,127
Don't worry about me!
1024
01:09:27,003 --> 01:09:29,631
I'm Charles Foster Kane!
1025
01:09:30,206 --> 01:09:34,472
I'm no cheap, crooked politician
trying to save himself...
1026
01:09:34,544 --> 01:09:37,570
...from the consequences of his crimes!
1027
01:09:38,615 --> 01:09:42,642
Gettys! I'm gonna send you to Sing Sing.
1028
01:09:42,819 --> 01:09:44,912
Sing Sing, Gettys.
1029
01:09:48,191 --> 01:09:51,251
- Have you a car, Mrs. Kane?
- Yes, thank you.
1030
01:09:51,795 --> 01:09:54,559
- Good night.
- Good night.
1031
01:10:05,341 --> 01:10:09,334
Paper. Read all about it. Extra. Extra.
1032
01:10:13,850 --> 01:10:15,909
- Paper?
- No, thanks.
1033
01:10:30,834 --> 01:10:33,667
With a million majority
already against him...
1034
01:10:33,903 --> 01:10:37,270
...and the church counties
still to be heard from...
1035
01:10:37,474 --> 01:10:39,908
...I'm afraid we got no choice.
1036
01:10:39,943 --> 01:10:41,410
This one?
1037
01:10:44,848 --> 01:10:46,611
That one.
1038
01:11:09,906 --> 01:11:11,771
Good night again.
1039
01:11:22,919 --> 01:11:26,411
- Is there anything I can...
- No, thanks, Mr. Bernstein.
1040
01:11:28,024 --> 01:11:30,356
You better go home and get some sleep.
1041
01:11:31,427 --> 01:11:32,917
You, too.
1042
01:11:35,331 --> 01:11:37,094
Good night, Mr. Kane.
1043
01:12:02,258 --> 01:12:04,818
- Hello, Jedediah.
- I'm drunk.
1044
01:12:08,464 --> 01:12:13,629
If you've got drunk to talk to me about...
1045
01:12:16,105 --> 01:12:18,699
...Ms. Alexander, don't bother.
1046
01:12:20,543 --> 01:12:22,340
I'm not interested.
1047
01:12:26,549 --> 01:12:30,417
I've set back the sacred cause of reform,
is that it?
1048
01:12:31,888 --> 01:12:33,287
All right.
1049
01:12:35,024 --> 01:12:38,357
If that's the way they want it,
the people have made their choice.
1050
01:12:38,428 --> 01:12:41,192
It's obvious the people prefer
Jim Gettys to me.
1051
01:12:41,297 --> 01:12:44,960
You talk about the people
as though you owned them.
1052
01:12:45,034 --> 01:12:47,366
As though they belong to you. Goodness.
1053
01:12:48,071 --> 01:12:52,906
As long as I can remember, you've talked
about giving the people their rights...
1054
01:12:53,042 --> 01:12:56,273
...as if you could make them
a present of liberty...
1055
01:12:56,446 --> 01:12:58,937
...as a reward for services rendered.
1056
01:12:59,015 --> 01:13:01,449
- Jed.
- You remember the workingman?
1057
01:13:02,185 --> 01:13:04,847
I'll get drunk, too, Jedediah...
1058
01:13:06,322 --> 01:13:07,584
...if it'll do any good.
1059
01:13:07,657 --> 01:13:11,058
It won't do any good.
Besides you never get drunk.
1060
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,993
You used to write an awful lot
about the workingman...
1061
01:13:14,063 --> 01:13:14,961
Go on home.
1062
01:13:15,031 --> 01:13:17,898
He's turning into something called
"organized labor. "
1063
01:13:19,702 --> 01:13:23,035
You won't like that one little bit
when you find out...
1064
01:13:23,106 --> 01:13:28,237
...it means your workingman expects
something as his right, and not your gift.
1065
01:13:30,346 --> 01:13:34,840
When your precious underprivileged
really get together...
1066
01:13:35,451 --> 01:13:37,248
Oh, boy...
1067
01:13:38,021 --> 01:13:41,013
That'll add up to something
bigger than your privilege...
1068
01:13:41,090 --> 01:13:44,025
...then I don't know what you'll do.
1069
01:13:44,093 --> 01:13:49,429
Sail away to a desert island probably
and lord it over the monkeys.
1070
01:13:50,700 --> 01:13:52,861
I wouldn't worry about it too much.
1071
01:13:53,202 --> 01:13:58,105
There'll probably be a few of them there
to tell me when I do something wrong.
1072
01:13:58,308 --> 01:14:00,435
You may not always be so lucky.
1073
01:14:01,210 --> 01:14:02,700
You're not very drunk.
1074
01:14:02,779 --> 01:14:04,804
Drunk, what do you care?
1075
01:14:05,181 --> 01:14:08,082
You don't care about anything except you.
1076
01:14:09,052 --> 01:14:14,922
You persuade people that you love them
so much that they ought to love you back.
1077
01:14:15,258 --> 01:14:17,886
Only you want love on your own terms.
1078
01:14:19,629 --> 01:14:23,030
It's something to be played your way,
according to your rules.
1079
01:14:29,706 --> 01:14:32,903
- Let me work on the Chicago paper.
- What?
1080
01:14:33,176 --> 01:14:37,977
You said you were looking for someone
to do dramatic "crimitism," criticism.
1081
01:14:38,214 --> 01:14:39,943
I am drunk.
1082
01:14:42,518 --> 01:14:44,509
I want to go to Chicago.
1083
01:14:45,822 --> 01:14:47,551
You're too valuable here.
1084
01:14:49,792 --> 01:14:53,785
- There's nothing left for me to do...
- All right, you can go to Chicago.
1085
01:14:53,863 --> 01:14:55,057
Thank you.
1086
01:14:56,165 --> 01:14:58,725
I guess I'd better try to get drunk anyway.
1087
01:15:00,436 --> 01:15:02,904
I warn you, Jedediah,
you won't like Chicago.
1088
01:15:02,972 --> 01:15:07,636
The wind comes off the lake, and they've
probably never heard of Lobster Newburg.
1089
01:15:07,710 --> 01:15:09,905
Will Saturday after next be all right?
1090
01:15:09,946 --> 01:15:11,937
- Anytime you say.
- Thank you.
1091
01:15:17,653 --> 01:15:22,647
A toast to love on my terms.
Those are the only terms anybody knows:
1092
01:15:24,227 --> 01:15:25,421
His own.
1093
01:15:38,374 --> 01:15:40,899
Mr. Kane, I'm from the Inquirer.
1094
01:15:50,186 --> 01:15:53,087
- What's that, young man?
- Are you through with politics?
1095
01:15:53,156 --> 01:15:55,920
Am I through with politics?
I would say vice versa.
1096
01:15:57,260 --> 01:15:58,955
We're going to be an opera star.
1097
01:15:59,028 --> 01:16:00,893
Are you singing at the Metropolitan?
1098
01:16:00,963 --> 01:16:02,328
We certainly are.
1099
01:16:02,565 --> 01:16:05,398
Charlie said if I didn't,
he'd build me an opera house.
1100
01:16:05,501 --> 01:16:06,968
That won't be necessary.
1101
01:16:11,874 --> 01:16:15,139
No, no, no!
1102
01:16:48,778 --> 01:16:50,245
Places, please!
1103
01:17:39,328 --> 01:17:42,126
Mr. Leland is writing it
from the dramatic angle?
1104
01:17:42,198 --> 01:17:45,690
- And we've covered it from the news end.
- And the social.
1105
01:17:46,536 --> 01:17:48,766
How about the music notice?
1106
01:17:48,838 --> 01:17:50,806
Yes, it's already made up.
1107
01:17:50,907 --> 01:17:53,535
Mr. Mowan wrote a swell review.
1108
01:17:55,077 --> 01:17:59,241
- Enthusiastic?
- Yes, sir.
1109
01:17:59,382 --> 01:18:02,010
Mr. Kane. This is a surprise.
1110
01:18:04,620 --> 01:18:06,588
We've got two spreads of pictures.
1111
01:18:06,689 --> 01:18:08,520
The music notice on the front page?
1112
01:18:08,624 --> 01:18:12,253
But there's still one notice to come.
The dramatic.
1113
01:18:13,396 --> 01:18:14,920
The dramatic notice.
1114
01:18:16,098 --> 01:18:20,694
- Mr. Bernstein, that's Mr. Leland, isn't it?
- Yes, we're waiting for it.
1115
01:18:24,540 --> 01:18:27,600
- Where is he?
- Right in there, Mr. Kane.
1116
01:18:35,518 --> 01:18:36,985
Mr. Kane.
1117
01:18:51,834 --> 01:18:54,462
Mr. Leland and Mr. Kane...
1118
01:18:55,605 --> 01:18:58,904
...haven't spoken together for years.
1119
01:19:01,477 --> 01:19:04,139
- You don't suppose...
- There's nothing to suppose.
1120
01:19:08,551 --> 01:19:09,848
Excuse me.
1121
01:19:26,902 --> 01:19:28,392
Close the door.
1122
01:19:31,741 --> 01:19:34,266
He ain't been drinking before.
1123
01:19:35,144 --> 01:19:37,237
Never. We would have heard.
1124
01:19:37,546 --> 01:19:39,537
What does it say there?
1125
01:19:40,016 --> 01:19:42,678
The notice, what's he written?
1126
01:19:44,387 --> 01:19:49,381
"Miss Susan Alexander, a pretty
but hopelessly incompetent amateur...
1127
01:19:52,895 --> 01:19:56,797
"... last night opened
the new Chicago Opera House...
1128
01:19:57,099 --> 01:19:58,862
"... in a performance of... "
1129
01:20:01,937 --> 01:20:05,464
I still can't pronounce that name.
1130
01:20:08,978 --> 01:20:12,937
"Her singing, happily,
is no concern of this department.
1131
01:20:13,349 --> 01:20:17,251
"Of her acting,
it is absolutely impossible to... "
1132
01:20:18,988 --> 01:20:20,148
Go on.
1133
01:20:22,625 --> 01:20:24,593
That's all there is.
1134
01:20:37,707 --> 01:20:41,268
Of her acting it is absolutely
impossible to say anything except...
1135
01:20:41,343 --> 01:20:44,938
...that, in the opinion of this reviewer,
it represents a new low.
1136
01:20:45,147 --> 01:20:48,048
- In the opinion of this reviewer.
- I didn't see that.
1137
01:20:48,117 --> 01:20:50,483
It isn't here, Mr. Bernstein, I'm dictating it.
1138
01:20:50,553 --> 01:20:53,488
- Mr. Kane, I...
- Get me a typewriter.
1139
01:20:54,924 --> 01:20:57,324
I'm going to finish Mr. Leland's notice.
1140
01:21:14,410 --> 01:21:16,310
Hello, Bernstein.
1141
01:21:21,450 --> 01:21:24,817
- Hello.
- Hello, Mr. Leland.
1142
01:21:28,090 --> 01:21:31,321
Where's my notice, Bernstein?
I've got to finish my notice.
1143
01:21:31,393 --> 01:21:34,658
- Mr. Kane is finishing it for you.
- Charlie?
1144
01:21:40,636 --> 01:21:42,968
Charlie out there?
1145
01:21:44,740 --> 01:21:47,174
I guess he's fixing it up.
1146
01:21:49,612 --> 01:21:52,012
I knew I'd never get that through.
1147
01:21:52,882 --> 01:21:56,909
Mr. Kane's finishing your review
just the way you started it.
1148
01:21:57,286 --> 01:22:00,983
He's writing a bad notice
like you wanted it to be.
1149
01:22:03,492 --> 01:22:05,517
I guess that'll show you.
1150
01:22:30,419 --> 01:22:32,319
Hello, Jedediah.
1151
01:22:35,591 --> 01:22:37,024
Hello, Charlie.
1152
01:22:38,627 --> 01:22:41,494
I didn't know we were speaking.
1153
01:22:41,831 --> 01:22:44,061
Sure we're speaking, Jedediah.
1154
01:22:46,135 --> 01:22:48,296
You're fired.
1155
01:23:00,583 --> 01:23:05,145
Everybody knows that story. Mr. Leland.
But why did he do it?
1156
01:23:06,622 --> 01:23:09,819
- How could a man write a notice...
- You just don't know Charlie.
1157
01:23:09,892 --> 01:23:13,828
He thought that by finishing that notice
he'd show me he was an honest man.
1158
01:23:13,896 --> 01:23:16,160
He was always trying to prove something.
1159
01:23:16,232 --> 01:23:19,360
That whole thing about Susie
being an opera singer.
1160
01:23:19,435 --> 01:23:21,699
That was trying to prove something.
1161
01:23:22,471 --> 01:23:25,838
You know what the headline was
the day before the election?
1162
01:23:26,208 --> 01:23:32,204
"Candidate Kane found
in love nest with 'singer. "'
1163
01:23:32,281 --> 01:23:34,408
He was going to take
the quotes off the singer.
1164
01:23:34,483 --> 01:23:35,609
Hey, nurse!
1165
01:23:35,718 --> 01:23:39,711
Five years ago he wrote
from that place down there in the South.
1166
01:23:39,788 --> 01:23:47,456
What's it called, Shangri-la? El Dorado?
Sloppy Joe's? What's the name?
1167
01:23:48,697 --> 01:23:53,031
All right, Xanadu, I knew it all the time.
1168
01:23:53,102 --> 01:23:57,232
You caught on, didn't you?
I'm not that hard to see through.
1169
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:00,040
Well, I never even answered his letter.
1170
01:24:00,809 --> 01:24:02,208
Maybe I should have.
1171
01:24:02,278 --> 01:24:06,339
I guess he was pretty lonely down there
in that coliseum all those years.
1172
01:24:06,782 --> 01:24:09,876
He hadn't finished it when she left him.
He never finished it.
1173
01:24:09,919 --> 01:24:13,184
He never finished anything
except my notice.
1174
01:24:13,555 --> 01:24:16,718
- Of course, he built the joint for her.
- That must have been love.
1175
01:24:16,792 --> 01:24:17,759
I don't know.
1176
01:24:17,993 --> 01:24:22,521
He was disappointed in the world
so he built his own, an absolute monarchy.
1177
01:24:23,232 --> 01:24:25,792
It was something bigger
than an opera house anyway.
1178
01:24:25,868 --> 01:24:27,267
- Nurse.
- Yes, Mr. Leland.
1179
01:24:27,336 --> 01:24:28,701
I'm coming.
1180
01:24:30,272 --> 01:24:33,764
- There's one thing you can do for me.
- Sure.
1181
01:24:33,876 --> 01:24:38,540
Stop at the cigar store on your way out,
and get me a couple of good cigars.
1182
01:24:38,614 --> 01:24:40,707
- Be glad to.
- Thank you.
1183
01:24:41,183 --> 01:24:42,616
One is enough.
1184
01:24:42,952 --> 01:24:47,389
When I was a young man, there was
an impression that nurses were pretty.
1185
01:24:47,456 --> 01:24:49,549
Well, it was no truer then than it is today.
1186
01:24:49,625 --> 01:24:51,752
- I'll take your arm.
- All right.
1187
01:24:51,827 --> 01:24:54,557
- You won't forget about those cigars?
- I won't.
1188
01:24:54,763 --> 01:24:59,700
Have them wrapped like toothpaste,
or they'll stop them at the desk.
1189
01:24:59,768 --> 01:25:02,669
You know that young doctor
I was telling you about, well...
1190
01:25:02,738 --> 01:25:06,640
...he's got an idea
he wants to keep me alive.
1191
01:25:35,904 --> 01:25:39,897
I'd rather you'd just talk.
Anything that comes into your mind...
1192
01:25:40,642 --> 01:25:42,837
...about yourself and Mr. Kane.
1193
01:25:43,012 --> 01:25:48,382
You don't want to hear what comes into
my mind about myself and Charlie Kane.
1194
01:25:49,918 --> 01:25:54,719
You know, maybe I shouldn't have sung
for Charlie that first time I met him.
1195
01:25:55,958 --> 01:25:58,893
But I did an awful lot of singing after that.
1196
01:26:00,763 --> 01:26:04,631
I sang for teachers at $100 an hour.
1197
01:26:04,700 --> 01:26:07,294
- The teachers got that, I didn't.
- What did you get?
1198
01:26:07,369 --> 01:26:10,896
I didn't get a thing, except music lessons.
That's all there was in it.
1199
01:26:10,973 --> 01:26:12,463
He married you, didn't he?
1200
01:26:12,541 --> 01:26:15,977
He didn't mention anything about marriage
until after it was over and...
1201
01:26:16,045 --> 01:26:18,411
...until it got in the papers about us...
1202
01:26:18,480 --> 01:26:23,383
...and he lost the election,
and that Norton woman divorced him.
1203
01:26:23,719 --> 01:26:25,744
He was really interested in my voice.
1204
01:26:25,821 --> 01:26:27,413
Why did he build that opera house?
1205
01:26:27,489 --> 01:26:31,323
I didn't want it. I didn't want a thing.
It was his idea.
1206
01:26:32,728 --> 01:26:34,787
Everything was his idea...
1207
01:26:37,766 --> 01:26:39,757
...except my leaving him.
1208
01:26:47,743 --> 01:26:52,407
"Don't forget"
1209
01:26:52,481 --> 01:26:53,971
Don't get nervous.
1210
01:26:54,083 --> 01:26:56,779
Please. Let's come back.
1211
01:26:58,353 --> 01:27:01,584
Look at me, Mrs. Kane, darling.
1212
01:27:01,690 --> 01:27:10,621
"Get the voice out of the throat
Place the tone right in the mask
1213
01:27:16,839 --> 01:27:18,170
"Diaphragm"
1214
01:27:25,681 --> 01:27:27,945
You're out of pitch.
1215
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:34,814
Some people can sing. Some can't.
1216
01:27:34,957 --> 01:27:36,515
Impossible.
1217
01:27:37,459 --> 01:27:40,519
It's not your job to give your opinion
of Mrs. Kane's talents.
1218
01:27:42,464 --> 01:27:46,025
You're supposed to train her voice,
Signor Matiste. Nothing more.
1219
01:27:46,768 --> 01:27:48,531
Please continue with the lesson.
1220
01:27:48,604 --> 01:27:51,004
- But, Mr. Kane.
- Please.
1221
01:27:52,007 --> 01:27:55,909
I'll be the laughingstock
of the musical world. People will think...
1222
01:27:55,944 --> 01:27:58,913
You're concerned what people will think?
1223
01:27:58,947 --> 01:28:03,543
Perhaps I can enlighten you a bit.
I'm an authority on what people will think.
1224
01:28:04,253 --> 01:28:06,016
The newspapers for example.
1225
01:28:06,321 --> 01:28:09,017
I run several newspapers
between here and San Francisco.
1226
01:28:09,091 --> 01:28:10,558
It's all right, darling.
1227
01:28:10,792 --> 01:28:12,987
Signor Matiste is going to listen to reason.
1228
01:28:13,896 --> 01:28:16,694
- How can I persuade you...
- You can't.
1229
01:28:42,891 --> 01:28:45,018
It's all right, darling, go ahead.
1230
01:28:56,838 --> 01:28:59,568
I thought you'd see it my way.
1231
01:29:09,851 --> 01:29:13,753
No, no, no.
1232
01:29:44,019 --> 01:29:47,546
"Ah. Cruel
1233
01:29:48,857 --> 01:29:52,349
"Tu m'as trop entendue
1234
01:29:53,495 --> 01:29:56,953
"Les Dieux m'en sont témoins
1235
01:29:57,466 --> 01:30:01,869
"Ces Dieux qui dans mon flanc
1236
01:30:01,970 --> 01:30:04,268
"Ont allumé
1237
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:07,101
"Le feu fatal
1238
01:30:07,542 --> 01:30:10,602
"A tout mon sang
1239
01:30:30,599 --> 01:30:35,536
"Dites-moi comment j'expie
1240
01:30:35,604 --> 01:30:38,835
"Ce péché si fort
1241
01:30:40,909 --> 01:30:43,901
"Toujours remplie
1242
01:30:43,945 --> 01:30:48,939
"Je ne peux pas résister encore
1243
01:30:52,387 --> 01:30:57,017
"Oh Dieux. Arrachez-moi
1244
01:30:57,326 --> 01:30:59,794
"Ces feux fatals"
1245
01:30:59,861 --> 01:31:00,919
I think it's dreadful.
1246
01:31:01,530 --> 01:31:06,058
"Allument ma mort
1247
01:31:10,839 --> 01:31:15,538
"Voilà mon cur
1248
01:31:16,078 --> 01:31:20,947
"Voilà mon cur
1249
01:31:21,483 --> 01:31:25,476
"C'est Ià que ta main doit frapper
1250
01:31:27,456 --> 01:31:30,425
"Voilà mon cur
1251
01:31:32,494 --> 01:31:34,792
"Frappe
1252
01:31:35,964 --> 01:31:40,424
"Prête-moi ton épée
1253
01:31:41,570 --> 01:31:43,902
"Frappe"
1254
01:32:40,562 --> 01:32:42,928
Stop telling me he's your friend.
1255
01:32:43,365 --> 01:32:45,799
A friend don't write that kind of review.
1256
01:32:45,867 --> 01:32:49,268
All these other papers panning me,
I could expect that.
1257
01:32:49,337 --> 01:32:53,137
But for the Inquirer to run a thing like that,
spoiling my whole debut.
1258
01:32:53,208 --> 01:32:53,970
Come in.
1259
01:32:54,042 --> 01:32:54,974
I'll get it.
1260
01:32:55,076 --> 01:32:57,909
Friend. Not the kind of friends I know...
1261
01:32:58,180 --> 01:33:00,205
...but I'm not high class like you.
1262
01:33:00,449 --> 01:33:02,542
And I never went to any swell schools.
1263
01:33:02,617 --> 01:33:04,016
That'll be enough, Susan.
1264
01:33:04,085 --> 01:33:05,347
From Mr. Leland, sir.
1265
01:33:05,921 --> 01:33:08,981
He wanted me to make sure
you got this personally.
1266
01:33:09,291 --> 01:33:11,919
Is that something from him?
1267
01:33:13,395 --> 01:33:14,623
Charlie!
1268
01:33:15,397 --> 01:33:19,231
As for you,
you ought to have your head examined.
1269
01:33:19,434 --> 01:33:21,994
Sending him a letter telling him he's fired...
1270
01:33:22,070 --> 01:33:24,595
...with a $25,000 check in it.
1271
01:33:24,673 --> 01:33:27,164
What kind of firing do you call that?
1272
01:33:27,876 --> 01:33:32,108
You did send him a check for $25,000,
didn't you?
1273
01:33:33,415 --> 01:33:34,404
Yes.
1274
01:33:36,918 --> 01:33:40,115
I sent him a check for $25,000.
1275
01:33:42,757 --> 01:33:44,190
What's that?
1276
01:33:45,427 --> 01:33:46,917
Declaration of Principles.
1277
01:33:46,995 --> 01:33:48,087
What?
1278
01:33:48,830 --> 01:33:49,888
What is it?
1279
01:33:55,737 --> 01:33:56,761
An antique.
1280
01:33:56,838 --> 01:33:59,602
You're awful funny, aren't you?
1281
01:34:00,675 --> 01:34:04,941
I'll tell you one thing you're not going
to be funny about, and that's my singing.
1282
01:34:05,013 --> 01:34:06,139
I'm through.
1283
01:34:06,214 --> 01:34:08,774
I never wanted to do it in the first place.
1284
01:34:09,284 --> 01:34:11,775
You'll continue with your singing, Susan.
1285
01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:14,753
I don't propose
to have myself made ridiculous.
1286
01:34:14,823 --> 01:34:18,054
You don't propose
to have yourself made ridiculous!
1287
01:34:18,159 --> 01:34:21,492
What about me?
I'm the one that has to sing.
1288
01:34:21,596 --> 01:34:23,530
I'm the one that gets the raspberries.
1289
01:34:23,632 --> 01:34:25,463
Why don't you leave me alone?
1290
01:34:25,534 --> 01:34:27,263
My reasons satisfy me, Susan.
1291
01:34:27,335 --> 01:34:29,462
You seem unable to understand them.
1292
01:34:30,338 --> 01:34:32,568
I will not tell them to you again.
1293
01:34:36,244 --> 01:34:38,439
You'll continue with your singing.
1294
01:36:10,905 --> 01:36:12,770
Get Dr. Corey.
1295
01:36:17,145 --> 01:36:18,237
Susan.
1296
01:36:19,114 --> 01:36:22,777
She'll be perfectly all right
in a day or two, Mr. Kane.
1297
01:36:24,753 --> 01:36:28,814
I can't imagine how Mrs. Kane
came to make such a foolish mistake.
1298
01:36:29,290 --> 01:36:33,886
The sedative Dr. Wagner gave her
was in a somewhat larger bottle.
1299
01:36:34,262 --> 01:36:38,756
The strain of preparing for the new opera
has excited and confused her.
1300
01:36:38,833 --> 01:36:41,028
Yes, I'm sure that was it.
1301
01:36:41,870 --> 01:36:44,600
No objections to my staying
with her are there?
1302
01:36:44,806 --> 01:36:48,867
No, not at all.
I'd like the nurse to be here, too.
1303
01:36:49,644 --> 01:36:51,805
Good night, Mr. Kane.
1304
01:37:27,282 --> 01:37:28,909
Charlie.
1305
01:37:31,619 --> 01:37:34,315
I couldn't make you see how I felt, Charlie.
1306
01:37:36,257 --> 01:37:39,021
But I couldn't go through
with the singing again.
1307
01:37:40,929 --> 01:37:44,160
You don't know what it means
to know that people...
1308
01:37:45,667 --> 01:37:48,465
That the whole audience doesn't want you.
1309
01:37:52,073 --> 01:37:54,166
That's when you got to fight them.
1310
01:38:02,584 --> 01:38:04,142
All right.
1311
01:38:06,087 --> 01:38:08,487
You won't have to fight them anymore.
1312
01:38:11,826 --> 01:38:13,919
It's their loss.
1313
01:38:29,577 --> 01:38:31,340
What are you doing?
1314
01:38:35,784 --> 01:38:37,775
Jigsaw puzzles?
1315
01:38:42,924 --> 01:38:44,915
Charlie, what time is it?
1316
01:38:45,493 --> 01:38:46,983
11:30.
1317
01:38:47,162 --> 01:38:48,595
In New York?
1318
01:38:51,499 --> 01:38:54,332
I said what time is it in New York?
1319
01:38:55,170 --> 01:38:58,298
- 11:30.
- Night?
1320
01:39:01,910 --> 01:39:03,741
The Bulldog's just gone to press.
1321
01:39:03,812 --> 01:39:07,009
Well, hurray for the Bulldog.
1322
01:39:08,883 --> 01:39:12,649
Gee, 11:30. Shows are just getting up.
1323
01:39:12,787 --> 01:39:15,517
People are going to nightclubs
and restaurants.
1324
01:39:16,191 --> 01:39:19,627
Of course, we're different
because we live in a palace.
1325
01:39:19,694 --> 01:39:22,322
You always said you wanted
to live in a palace.
1326
01:39:22,397 --> 01:39:24,763
A person could go crazy in this dump.
1327
01:39:24,966 --> 01:39:28,800
Nobody to talk to,
nobody to have any fun with.
1328
01:39:29,537 --> 01:39:33,405
49,000 acres of nothing
but scenery and statues.
1329
01:39:33,641 --> 01:39:35,108
I'm lonesome.
1330
01:39:35,176 --> 01:39:39,112
Until yesterday, we've had no less
than 50 of your friends at any one time.
1331
01:39:39,180 --> 01:39:41,876
I think if you look in the west wing...
1332
01:39:41,983 --> 01:39:45,077
...you'll probably find a dozen vacationists
still in residence.
1333
01:39:45,153 --> 01:39:47,747
You make a joke out of everything.
1334
01:39:48,256 --> 01:39:52,886
Charlie, I want to go to New York.
I'm tired of being a hostess.
1335
01:39:52,961 --> 01:39:56,829
I want to have fun. Please, Charlie.
1336
01:39:58,533 --> 01:40:01,366
Charlie, please.
1337
01:40:02,303 --> 01:40:04,965
Our home is here, Susan.
1338
01:40:10,712 --> 01:40:12,907
I don't care to visit New York.
1339
01:40:49,884 --> 01:40:51,647
What are you doing?
1340
01:40:54,622 --> 01:40:57,887
One thing I can never understand:
1341
01:40:57,992 --> 01:41:00,187
How do you know
you haven't done it before?
1342
01:41:00,261 --> 01:41:04,254
It makes a whole lot more sense
than collecting statues.
1343
01:41:05,867 --> 01:41:07,459
You may be right.
1344
01:41:07,869 --> 01:41:09,928
I sometimes wonder...
1345
01:41:10,338 --> 01:41:12,772
...but you get into the habit.
1346
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:15,741
It's not a habit, I do it because I like it.
1347
01:41:16,144 --> 01:41:18,738
I thought we might have
a picnic tomorrow.
1348
01:41:21,115 --> 01:41:24,141
Invite everybody to spend the night
at the Everglades.
1349
01:41:24,385 --> 01:41:28,788
Invite everybody. Order everybody,
you mean, and make them sleep in tents.
1350
01:41:28,856 --> 01:41:31,848
Who wants to sleep in tents
when they've got their own room...
1351
01:41:31,893 --> 01:41:34,555
...with a bath, where they know
where everything is?
1352
01:41:34,629 --> 01:41:38,030
I thought we might have
a picnic tomorrow.
1353
01:41:41,369 --> 01:41:45,703
You never give me anything
I really care about.
1354
01:41:54,248 --> 01:41:56,148
"It can't be love
1355
01:41:58,653 --> 01:42:03,283
"For there is no true love
1356
01:42:03,658 --> 01:42:06,149
"I know I've played at the game
1357
01:42:06,227 --> 01:42:09,094
"Like a moth in a blue flame
1358
01:42:09,163 --> 01:42:12,963
"Lost in the end, just the same
1359
01:42:13,067 --> 01:42:15,592
"All these years
1360
01:42:15,737 --> 01:42:20,640
"My heart's been floating around
in a puddle of tears
1361
01:42:23,011 --> 01:42:24,979
"I wonder what it is"
1362
01:42:25,079 --> 01:42:29,140
Sure, you give me things,
but that don't mean anything to you.
1363
01:42:31,552 --> 01:42:34,646
You're in a tent, darling,
you're not at home.
1364
01:42:34,722 --> 01:42:38,089
I can hear you very well
if you speak in a normal tone of voice.
1365
01:42:38,159 --> 01:42:42,095
What's the difference between giving me
a bracelet or giving someone $100,000...
1366
01:42:42,163 --> 01:42:45,189
...for a statue you'll keep crated up
and never look at?
1367
01:42:45,266 --> 01:42:47,666
It's just money. It doesn't mean anything.
1368
01:42:47,735 --> 01:42:50,932
You never really gave me anything
that you care about.
1369
01:42:51,005 --> 01:42:52,836
I want you to stop this.
1370
01:42:52,907 --> 01:42:54,340
I'm not going to stop it.
1371
01:42:54,409 --> 01:42:56,707
You never gave me anything in your life.
1372
01:42:56,778 --> 01:43:00,043
You just tried to buy me
into giving you something.
1373
01:43:02,817 --> 01:43:06,753
"It can't be love"
1374
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:22,194
Whatever I do, I do because I love you.
1375
01:43:22,270 --> 01:43:24,238
You don't love me.
1376
01:43:24,338 --> 01:43:26,306
You want me to love you.
1377
01:43:26,374 --> 01:43:29,309
Sure. "I'm Charles Foster Kane.
1378
01:43:29,377 --> 01:43:31,971
"Whatever you want,
just name it and it's yours.
1379
01:43:32,046 --> 01:43:34,310
"But you gotta love me. "
1380
01:43:38,786 --> 01:43:41,516
Don't tell me you're sorry.
1381
01:43:43,458 --> 01:43:45,221
I'm not sorry.
1382
01:43:57,004 --> 01:43:58,631
Mr. Kane?
1383
01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:01,804
Mrs. Kane would like to see you, sir.
1384
01:44:04,679 --> 01:44:07,842
Marie has been packing for her
since morning.
1385
01:44:13,921 --> 01:44:17,652
Tell Arnold I'm ready, Marie.
Tell him he can get the bags.
1386
01:44:18,192 --> 01:44:19,454
Yes, madame.
1387
01:44:21,462 --> 01:44:23,828
Have you gone completely crazy?
1388
01:44:23,898 --> 01:44:27,129
Don't you know that our guests,
that everyone will know about this?
1389
01:44:27,235 --> 01:44:29,066
Packed your bag, sent for the car...
1390
01:44:29,137 --> 01:44:30,229
And left you?
1391
01:44:30,505 --> 01:44:32,439
Of course they'll hear.
1392
01:44:33,441 --> 01:44:36,069
I'm not saying goodbye, except to you.
1393
01:44:36,310 --> 01:44:39,108
But I never imagined
people wouldn't know.
1394
01:44:41,582 --> 01:44:43,482
I won't let you go.
1395
01:44:50,825 --> 01:44:52,452
Goodbye, Charlie.
1396
01:44:55,997 --> 01:44:57,464
Susan.
1397
01:45:07,608 --> 01:45:09,200
Please don't go.
1398
01:45:14,882 --> 01:45:16,679
Please, Susan.
1399
01:45:19,887 --> 01:45:23,345
From now on, everything will be
exactly the way you want it to be.
1400
01:45:23,424 --> 01:45:25,551
Not the way I think you want it, but...
1401
01:45:27,195 --> 01:45:28,719
...your way.
1402
01:45:35,203 --> 01:45:36,568
You mustn't go.
1403
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:41,933
You can't do this to me.
1404
01:45:43,678 --> 01:45:45,339
I see.
1405
01:45:46,214 --> 01:45:48,808
It's you that this is being done to.
1406
01:45:49,083 --> 01:45:50,914
It's not me at all.
1407
01:45:51,152 --> 01:45:53,052
Not what it means to me.
1408
01:45:55,223 --> 01:45:57,418
I can't do this to you?
1409
01:45:58,893 --> 01:46:00,827
Oh, yes, I can.
1410
01:46:19,947 --> 01:46:23,075
In case you haven't heard,
I lost all my money and it was plenty.
1411
01:46:23,150 --> 01:46:25,516
The last 10 years
have been difficult for many.
1412
01:46:25,586 --> 01:46:28,555
They haven't been tough on me.
I just lost all my money.
1413
01:46:29,123 --> 01:46:32,286
- You're going down to Xanadu?
- Monday, with boys from the office.
1414
01:46:32,393 --> 01:46:35,123
Mr. Rawlston wants
the whole place photographed.
1415
01:46:35,196 --> 01:46:36,823
We run a picture magazine.
1416
01:46:36,897 --> 01:46:40,628
If you're smart, you'll get in touch
with Raymond. He's the butler.
1417
01:46:40,701 --> 01:46:42,692
You'll learn a lot from him.
1418
01:46:42,770 --> 01:46:45,238
He knows where all the bodies are buried.
1419
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:48,636
You know, all the same,
I feel kind of sorry for Mr. Kane.
1420
01:46:50,878 --> 01:46:52,573
Don't you think I do?
1421
01:46:57,118 --> 01:47:00,087
What do you know, it's morning already.
1422
01:47:03,591 --> 01:47:07,152
Come around and tell me the story
of your life sometime.
1423
01:47:14,168 --> 01:47:15,795
Rosebud?
1424
01:47:18,439 --> 01:47:20,498
I'll tell you about Rosebud.
1425
01:47:20,975 --> 01:47:22,909
How much is it worth to you?
1426
01:47:23,511 --> 01:47:25,274
$1,000?
1427
01:47:34,588 --> 01:47:37,284
Well, I'll tell you, Mr. Thompson.
1428
01:47:37,992 --> 01:47:41,450
- He acted funny sometimes, you know?
- No, I didn't.
1429
01:47:41,696 --> 01:47:44,096
Yes, he did crazy things sometimes.
1430
01:47:44,432 --> 01:47:46,866
I've been working for him 11 years now...
1431
01:47:46,901 --> 01:47:50,769
...in charge of the whole place,
so I ought to know.
1432
01:47:51,105 --> 01:47:52,367
- Rosebud.
- Yes.
1433
01:47:52,473 --> 01:47:57,467
Like I tell you, the old man
acted kind of funny sometimes...
1434
01:47:57,545 --> 01:48:01,242
...but I knew how to handle him...
- Need a lot of service?
1435
01:48:01,315 --> 01:48:04,341
But I knew how to handle him.
1436
01:48:04,518 --> 01:48:06,179
Like that time his wife left.
1437
01:50:21,922 --> 01:50:23,150
Rosebud.
1438
01:51:31,225 --> 01:51:32,783
I see.
1439
01:51:33,427 --> 01:51:35,895
And that's what you know about Rosebud?
1440
01:51:37,431 --> 01:51:39,865
I heard him say it that other time, too.
1441
01:51:40,467 --> 01:51:42,401
He just said:
1442
01:51:42,803 --> 01:51:44,600
"Rosebud. "
1443
01:51:44,705 --> 01:51:47,970
Then he dropped the glass ball
and it broke on the floor.
1444
01:51:48,676 --> 01:51:52,908
He didn't say anything after that,
and I knew he was dead.
1445
01:51:53,647 --> 01:51:56,343
He said all kinds of things
that didn't mean anything.
1446
01:51:56,417 --> 01:51:58,408
Sentimental fellow, aren't you?
1447
01:51:59,486 --> 01:52:02,182
- Yes and no.
- That isn't worth $1,000.
1448
01:52:02,256 --> 01:52:05,248
You can keep on asking questions
if you want to.
1449
01:52:05,492 --> 01:52:07,187
We're leaving tonight...
1450
01:52:07,962 --> 01:52:09,930
...when we're through taking pictures.
1451
01:52:09,997 --> 01:52:11,965
Allow yourself plenty of time.
1452
01:52:12,032 --> 01:52:15,900
The train stops at the junction on signal,
but they don't like to wait.
1453
01:52:16,937 --> 01:52:19,906
I can remember when they'd wait all day...
1454
01:52:20,240 --> 01:52:21,935
...if Mr. Kane said so.
1455
01:52:23,344 --> 01:52:25,938
Better get going.
1456
01:52:28,949 --> 01:52:32,885
- Can we come down?
- Yes, hurry up. We're leaving.
1457
01:52:35,089 --> 01:52:38,525
How much do you think
this is all worth, Mr. Thompson?
1458
01:52:38,792 --> 01:52:40,282
Millions.
1459
01:52:41,795 --> 01:52:42,955
If anybody wants it.
1460
01:52:43,030 --> 01:52:45,760
Well, at least he brought all this stuff
to America.
1461
01:52:45,833 --> 01:52:47,562
- What's that?
- Another Venus.
1462
01:52:47,635 --> 01:52:48,966
$25,000.
1463
01:52:49,036 --> 01:52:51,630
A lot of money to pay
for a dame without a head.
1464
01:52:51,739 --> 01:52:53,900
The banks are out of luck?
1465
01:52:55,409 --> 01:52:58,139
- They'll clear all right.
- He never threw anything away.
1466
01:52:58,212 --> 01:53:03,411
"Welcome home, Mr. Kane, from 467
employees of the New York Inquirer. "
1467
01:53:03,484 --> 01:53:08,888
"One stove from the estate of Mary Kane,
Little Salem, Colorado. Value: $2."
1468
01:53:08,922 --> 01:53:11,413
We're supposed to get everything,
junk as well as art.
1469
01:53:11,492 --> 01:53:13,187
He sure liked to collect things.
1470
01:53:13,260 --> 01:53:14,659
Anything and everything.
1471
01:53:14,795 --> 01:53:16,456
A regular crow, eh?
1472
01:53:16,530 --> 01:53:19,260
- Hey, look, a jigsaw puzzle.
- We got a lot of those.
1473
01:53:19,333 --> 01:53:22,359
A Burmese temple and three
Spanish ceilings down the hall.
1474
01:53:22,903 --> 01:53:24,336
Part of a Scotch castle...
1475
01:53:24,405 --> 01:53:26,236
...that needs to be unwrapped.
1476
01:53:26,573 --> 01:53:28,063
Put all this stuff together:
1477
01:53:28,142 --> 01:53:31,270
The palaces and the paintings,
and the toys and everything.
1478
01:53:31,345 --> 01:53:33,336
What would it spell?
1479
01:53:34,815 --> 01:53:37,545
- Charles Foster Kane?
- Or Rosebud.
1480
01:53:37,851 --> 01:53:41,082
- How about it, Jerry?
- What's Rosebud?
1481
01:53:41,155 --> 01:53:43,385
That's what he said when he died.
1482
01:53:44,058 --> 01:53:46,219
Did you ever find out what it means?
1483
01:53:46,293 --> 01:53:48,523
- No, I didn't.
- What did you find out about him?
1484
01:53:48,595 --> 01:53:50,085
Not much, really.
1485
01:53:53,200 --> 01:53:54,895
We'd better get started.
1486
01:53:56,870 --> 01:53:59,236
What have you been doing all this time?
1487
01:54:00,307 --> 01:54:01,899
Playing with a jigsaw puzzle.
1488
01:54:01,975 --> 01:54:05,741
If you'd discovered what Rosebud meant,
I bet it would've explained everything.
1489
01:54:05,846 --> 01:54:07,370
No, I don't think so.
1490
01:54:08,015 --> 01:54:09,414
No.
1491
01:54:09,550 --> 01:54:13,111
He was a man who got
everything he wanted, and then lost it.
1492
01:54:13,220 --> 01:54:16,917
Maybe Rosebud was something
he couldn't get or something he lost.
1493
01:54:16,990 --> 01:54:19,288
It wouldn't have explained anything.
1494
01:54:20,127 --> 01:54:23,255
I don't think any word
can explain a man's life.
1495
01:54:24,231 --> 01:54:28,429
No. I guess Rosebud is just a piece
in a jigsaw puzzle.
1496
01:54:29,603 --> 01:54:31,332
A missing piece.
1497
01:54:37,144 --> 01:54:39,339
Come on, everybody...
1498
01:54:41,148 --> 01:54:43,412
...we'll miss the train.
1499
01:55:48,115 --> 01:55:50,345
Throw that junk in.
1500
01:57:26,980 --> 01:57:30,939
Maybe I was what you nowadays
call a stooge.
1501
01:57:31,618 --> 01:57:33,609
Everything was his idea...
1502
01:57:35,589 --> 01:57:37,580
...except my leaving him.
1503
01:57:38,492 --> 01:57:40,483
I've got his trunk all packed.
1504
01:57:41,795 --> 01:57:43,922
I've had it packed for a week now.
1505
01:57:44,197 --> 01:57:47,689
Sometimes I think I'd prefer
a rival of flesh and blood.
1506
01:57:49,403 --> 01:57:51,894
You're gonna need more than one lesson.
1507
01:57:53,073 --> 01:57:55,507
And you'll get more than one lesson.
1508
01:58:00,814 --> 01:58:02,304
Who's a busy man, me?
1509
01:58:02,549 --> 01:58:05,848
I'm chairman of the board.
I got nothing but time.
1510
01:58:06,053 --> 01:58:07,486
What do you want to know?
1511
01:58:07,554 --> 01:58:12,218
We thought... If we could find out what he
meant by his last words as he was dying...
1512
01:58:12,693 --> 01:58:14,854
Sentimental fellow, aren't you?
1513
01:58:16,229 --> 01:58:17,389
Yes and no.
1514
01:58:17,731 --> 01:58:20,564
"I think it would be fun
to run a newspaper. "
1515
01:58:20,934 --> 01:58:24,461
"I think it would be fun
to run a newspaper. "
