- You gotta get out and talk to them. - To whom?
The public.
The people who knew him.
This was a long time ago.
Well, look, he's still alive, isn't he? Causing trouble.
So you gotta chafe up your hands a little, for chrissake...
...like the rest of us.
Where the hell is everybody?
Whatever there was to find in the case of the upright judge...
... would be long-buried in the past...
... like a dead cat in the back yard.
But what could be buried there like that...
... in a place like Burden's Landing?
Where you and your friends grew up...
... shaded by 300-year-old live oaks...
... and the sense of your own entitlement.
To dig around that past in that back yard...
... you must first- - You tell yourself. - seek out the girl from that past:
Anne Stanton.
The daughter of the governor back then.
The little sister of your best friend, Adam...
... who, one day, you noticed...
... and it struck you kind of all of a sudden...
... wasn't little anymore.
She was the first one you loved like that.
And the last, it turns out.
So you hold on to her pictures in your mind...
... year after year...
... in the belief that someday it'll be like that again...
... even though you have no evidence.
In church, they call this faith.
So that's what I'll call it.
Every month or so, I come out here and light a fire.
Dry the place out.
I know it doesn't really accomplish that...
...but I got a feeling if I didn't, if nobody ever came...
...the place would just one day cave in on itself.
Adam never comes out?
No. Not anymore.
He took the piano, or someone did.
Took it and put it in that place he's living. Have you seen it?
God forbid my brother ever spent any money on himself.
Or that people knew it.
How's your wife?
I'm sorry, I've forgotten her name.
That didn't quite work out as I'd hoped.
A lot of tangled bedclothes and unspoken loathing...
...then spoken loathing and no tangled bedclothes.
Didn't I read of your engagement in the society column?
Which you know I always turn to first in the paper.
I was engaged. More than once.
Adam didn't care for any of them.
- Why that should matter, I don't know. - Who needs them, anyway?
Anne, way back, was Judge Irwin ever broke?
What?
Judges don't make the kind of money your father did...
...or my father, or anyone who lives here.
Why on earth would you want to know such a thing?
- Someone asked me and I didn't know. - Asked you what?
What I just asked you.
Why?
Oh, Jack, what are you doing for that man?
- That man. - Whatever it is, don't.
That man is what those pushed away from the trough call him.
Those invited to it should find another name.
Accepting state money for scholarships...
...is different from being on his payroll.
- Is it? - Yes, it is.
- Oh, don't ruin it. - What?
Don't ruin this?
Or that fine, beautiful time we all had here once?
You sure that's what it was?
- Yes. - Then why did it turn into this time?
With me drinking myself to death...
...Adam getting more reclusive and strange...
...and you once a month coming out to a house with the electricity cut off?
This time came from that time.
We should go.
The fire can burn.
It will anyway, you know, one day.
What will what anyway?
Cave in on itself.
Everything.
Is the Seaboard Bank in Savannah?
Not since 1938.
What happened in '38?
Bought out by Georgia Fidelity.
Got any idea who was president then?
Franklin Roosevelt.
Ma'am, of the bank.
LeMoyne Carruthers was my friend.
A dear friend.
And his daughter, Mabel, well, I did what I could for her...
...even after her financial reversal.
The year of her financial reversal was roughly what?
She threw that inheritance away.
Two or three notes I paid myself.
For the memory of LeMoyne, my dear friend.
But she'd come back at me without shame and say, "I want money."
For parties and balls and to adorn herself.
For she was plain, to be kind.
Then she was broke when she met the judge.
So was he. This is when he was still attorney general...
...under Governor Stanton pulling down 3400 a year...
...while paying off liens on his place on the Row to the tune of 42,000.
Well, you see there, you are a detective.
You dug and chinked the metal box...
...and are enjoying the sound of it a bit, if I'm not mistaken.
Might still be empty.
No, it's full.
Crawling with maggots by now, maybe...
...but still a little something they was chewing on. Just have to look.
Still have to find the key. And that ain't gonna be easy.
Well, there's nothing easy that means anything.
You'll do it. I have faith.
I like this one, Slade.
Now, they all is yelling that I got no right to what's on their table.
What's on their table is theirs.
I'm not trying to take it.
"Go ahead, sit down at that table," I tell.
"Have all you want to eat. Eat till you can't eat no more.
Now, what's left on that table...
...when you can't eat no more, even if you tried...
...leave that there because that's for the rest of us."
And for that, they're trying to ruin me.
For taking what they left on the table...
...and using it to build something for you!
To build 3000 miles of paved highways...
...a hundred and eleven new bridges, 208 new schools...
...60,000 brand-new jobs!
Now, they wanna ruin me...
...because they wanna ruin you.
But your will is my strength.
Your need is my justice.
And I won't let them!
It come to me in a dream.
Whilst you were up in Savannah with your pail and shovel, eating oysters.
What did?
I'm gonna build me the best-staffed, best-equipped...
...biggest goddamn health center this state ever saw.
This country ever saw. The All-Father hisself.
You want me to do what to further this noble enterprise?
Deliver me my chief of staff.
Fine. You give me a list of who you're thinking to run it.
Only one name on it:
Dr. Adam Stanton.
That's my boy, Tom! That's the way! You see that?
That's an all-American pass. Goddamn it. Attaboy, Tom!
Well, somebody gotta run this hospital.
He's gotta be the best, don't he?
- Adam Stanton is not the best. - Well, he is for what I need.
They'll never approve the money otherwise.
Willie, Adam's an old friend of mine.
As I certainly know, else I wouldn't be asking.
I know him and I know you. He won't do it.
What's wrong with me?
To him, what isn't?
You're everything his father fought against.
He hates what you represent, if not you yourself.
I'm not asking him to love me.
- I'm asking him to run a hospital. - Your hospital.
The people's hospital, where any poor redneck and nigger can get the best...
...without paying a dime. He ought to like that.
No. What you're asking is for him to put his family's name next to yours.
So you can trot him out in front of senators and say:
"Lookie here, lookie who I got standing next to me.
The son of the most honorable man who ever served this state."
Just get him.
Not easy being the son of a great man.
It don't look so hard for my boy Tom out there.
Far as you know.
We should go.
Not yet. Let's go in again.
The friend of your youth...
... is the only friend you'll ever have.
For he doesn't really see you.
He sees in his mind a face, which doesn't exist anymore.
And speaks a name- -
Spike, Bud, Red, Rusty, Jack.
- that belongs to that now nonexistent face.
He's still the young idealist you used to be.
Still sees good and bad in black and white...
... and men as sinners or saints, but never both.
- Hey, Adam. - Feels superior in the knowledge....
... that you no longer can distinguish the two.
- Jack. - That's what drives you to it...
- ... try to stick the knife in. - Come on in.
For there's a kind of snobbery in failure.
Like the twist to the mouth of a drunk.
You're looking good, Jack.
Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment.
Been playing much?
Who wants to know, my sister?
It was just a question.
- Everything good? - Yes, Jack, everything's good.
All right. I'm gonna tell you something.
I don't want you to start yelling at me until I'm finished.
Governor Stark wants you as director...
...of the medical center he's building. Whatever you want...
...all you have to do is say, it's yours.
- Money? - I didn't say that.
What do I want money for? I got everything I want. Look around.
I didn't say money.
Then what? What's next when that doesn't work?
- A threat of some kind? - Of course not.
That's how he gets things done? What he relies on?
The bribe and the threat?
I would never do that to you or let anyone else. You know that.
I don't know what you think he's thinking, Jack...
...or what you're thinking, but couldn't be flattery.
He's thinking what he thinks about anybody he wants something from...
...who doesn't wanna give it. - Something from their past.
- You just said he wasn't. - Not their past, their weakness.
- Same thing. - No, it isn't.
I'm not gonna debate it with you, Jack. We're not in school anymore.
I don't care if you know I'm right. I don't care if I am right. But I am.
Then what is it, Jack? What is my weakness?
You can't look at anybody with something broke...
...without wanting to fix it.
- And that's a weakness? - Some would say.
You would say.
- It's no disgrace. - Well, then tell me, Jack.
Tell me, please. How is that a weakness?
- I don't need to tell you. - I think you do.
If you don't know, I'll leave you to think about it. It'll come to you.
No, it won't, Jack. And you'll have to go to your boss...
...and tell him you failed without taking out the big guns.
So tell me, for your sake, how is that a weakness?
Because it makes you do things you don't wanna do.
If they're good.
And this is. He may not be...
...but this is.
It was good to see you, Adam.
Now, before I tell y'all the story about how this great university...
...changed the life of a boy from Mason City...
...who, by all rights, should still be swilling hogs...
...first, I'm gonna set your minds at ease on another point of interest.
I brung my checkbook with me.
- You own one share? - I do. I just bought it.
Now, that gives me the right as a stockholder...
...to view the company's equity records, doesn't it?
Governor, sir?
Miss Littlepaugh?
You're from the insurance company.
No, no, I'm not.
But I know about your brother's insurance policy.
Not that there was much left on it to collect.
He borrowed against it almost down to nothing. Didn't he?
Which means you lied...
...for almost nothing.
Now, don't you go jumping out a window.
It wasn't the money...
...it was the disgrace.
I wanted him buried in the good part of the cemetery...
...not in the back, with all the sinners.
Why did he kill himself?
They drove him to it. To make room for that thief, Irwin.
My brother went to the Justice Department...
...and told them he knew all about their man Irwin...
...and the bribes...
...but they wouldn't listen.
- Are you lying to me? - No, that's what killed him.
He wrote the letter to me and told me.
And then that night he... .
All right, wait. What letter?
The letter he wrote me explaining it all.
The lawsuit Irwin was paid to let up on...
...and how the power company hid the payoffs...
...by firing my brother and giving Irwin his job.
Where's the letter now? What happened to it?
Oh, I have it.
Kept it all this time?
You have the letter here?
You bring down the lion...
... the rest of the jungle will quake in fear...
... and they'll all fall into line.
Your employer is calling you, Jack.
Thank you.
Hello.
Hello, Anne.
- What's that? - Orange soda.
Two straws.
- I think I might want something else. - I didn't say one of them was for you.
It's the way it's drunk. Tradition.
- I know you went to see Adam. - I did. What of it?
What did you say to him?
I went there and I offered him a job. No use blaming me.
- I'm not blaming you. - Well, that's what it sounds like.
That's what you sound like. If you could hear yourself.
I want him to take it. I want you to go back...
...and ask him again.
Jack, you know how it is. My brother is the son of a governor...
...the grandson of a senator, the great-grandson of a general.
She wasn't telling me anything I didn't already know about Adam.
But she was doing it walking next to me...
... which is all that mattered.
So I let her go on as long as she wanted.
I knew that Adam had already made his decision.
He had decided to take the job when I first brought it up.
He was just putting some time between my visit and now...
... out of pride.
He needs to do this to be part of something himself...
...before he disappears.
But something about what she was saying bothered me.
The way an off-stage noise bothers you.
What kind of life is that?
Something you hear- -
He's a guardian of dead men.
- but not clear enough to catch the meaning of.
I want him to take it. He has to do it.
So you push it aside.
I guess that's one of your gunmen I've heard about.
Sugar Boy, hell, no.
He just carry that peashooter for decoration.
I tell you one thing, though. Ain't nobody can drive like him.
So, what do you think, doc?
I think it'll do the people of the state some good...
...and get you some votes.
There's a lot of ways to get votes. Cheaper ones.
So I understand.
Because there are some things I understand.
And some things you don't. Just like there's some I don't.
What I do know is what makes the mare go.
And that you can always make goodness out of badness.
- That would be two things. - Them's the two things I know, then.
And both of them wrong.
No, neither one of them, sir. I beg your pardon.
You can always make good from bad, in all things.
In politics, poetry...
...everything in between. Makes no difference.
A man writes a sonnet...
...and it's good.
Is it less good if it turns out...
...the dame he wrote it about is married to someone else?
That his passion was illicit?
Come on, I wanna show you something.
I wouldn't mind understanding something, actually.
Lf, as you say, there's only bad to start with from conception on...
...and that good must be made from bad...
...then how do you ever know what the good is?
Well, that's simple. You just make it up as you go along.
Make up what?
The good. What else are we talking about?
Make it up as you go along?
Yeah. Just like folks have been doing for a million years.
Since we fall out of trees, crawl out the swamp.
They just cook up what is right.
If nobody likes that, well, just cook it up again...
...a little different with a lid on.
And you know what?
Things under a lid don't look no different than things...
...not under a lid when there's one on it.
You don't have to convince me of anything, Mr. Stark.
You've already done that. I'm here, aren't I?
That's right. And you're a good boy too, doc.
A lot better than you think.
So goddamn it.
Don't let none of them bastards tell you no different.
I got a question since everybody's trying to understand everything...
...all of a sudden.
Back when we met...
...at Slade's old place, when we shook hands--
Do you remember that moment?
Like it was yesterday.
Did you or did you not give me a wink?
A wink?
Well, that's just gonna have to remain a mystery.
- You don't remember. - Sure I do.
Then...?
You know, I... .
I just do recall giving you a wink.
But then, maybe I got something in my eye...
...which would make it more of a blink.
Did you have something in your eye?
What if I didn't?
What would that mean?
That maybe you figured you and me...
...had something in common the others didn't.
Well, I'm not gonna tell you and deprive you of the mystery.
There's just too few honest-to-God mysteries left to go around.
And long after I'm dead and gone...
...and long after these sons of bitches are dead and gone...
...I'm talking eternally now...
...the Willie Stark Hospital will still be standing.
Where every man, woman and child...
...who's sick or in pain can go in...
...knowing they'll get all a man can do.
Not as charity, but as a right, as your right!
As it is that every child shall have a complete education!
That no person, aged or infirm, shall want or beg for bread!
That no poor man's land or house will be taxed!
That you shall not be deprived of hope!
And if any man...
...stands between me...
...and fulfilling your rights...
...I will strike him down...
...so help me God!
Hip, shin, thigh and neck bone, I will hit him.
I will hit him with a meat ax.
Somebody give me a meat ax...
...and bring me another one for my friend and ally!
Because it's not only God's only son with us on this one.
It's the son of the last great leader of this state:
Governor Joe Stanton's boy, Dr. Adam Stanton!
All right. See there?
It's not so bad. It's not gonna kill you.
What's up?
Sadie.
Now he's done it.
He's done it again, and I swear this time... .
- Done? - Don't act so dumb.
Or any dumber than you are. He's two-timing me again.
Or four or one or whatever timing you wanna call it...
...because you're such a smartass.
- She skate? - Shut up.
You and your friends. Your highbrow friends.
All the money and privilege and everything else...
...you pretend means nothing. To someone with it, it means nothing.
Don't look so dumb. I said it annoys me.
I have no idea what you're talking about...
...or what it was tangled you two up in the first place, love or hate.
You know what I'm talking about.
Maybe you fixed it up. I'm sure you did.
Surely he's fixed you up, like that pathetic...
...crazy brother of hers, to say thanks.
"Thanks, Jack. She is a looker, I do declare.
I'm naming you SDP, yes, sir.
State Director of Pimps."
What are you saying?
Are you saying...?
Thank you.
Are you s--?
I love you.
We're gonna walk some more.
All right.
Hello.
Hello, Mother.
Yes, Mother. Yes.
All right.
All right, Mother.
Goodbye.
She and the Peytons and the bridge partner...
...are going to La Grange for a nightcap.
- Jackie. - What?
I came up here.
This was years ago, you understand.
Back when things weren't set in concrete.
Back when you had a way of changing the course of things.
If you knew how.
She was perfect.
She had always been perfect.
I wanted to keep her that way...
... and like this.
To be young and older...
... somehow.
Of course that's not what it looked like to her.
When I came home from school at Christmas...
... we saw each other, of course.
We talked about things, but never that.
We talked about love in general.
Like it was the subject of an essay instead of real.
She said it was like jumping off the high dive, love was.
Or like almost getting drowned.
Which, honestly, I didn't understand.
For a long time.
You wanna know the reason I stopped that night?
It wasn't nobility.
That's only what I told myself.
We have all the time in the world, right?
It was that I knew something was about to be taken from us...
... leaving in its place something we didn't know.
Which didn't make her sad...
... but it did me.
You only get a couple of moments that determine your life.
Sometimes only one.
And then it's gone.
Forever.
I talked to Senator Loden this morning.
He said you find something nice to put on his plate...
...he might come around. Vote any way you like.
While you cut yourself a slice.
- I ain't saying that. - I know what you're saying, Tiny.
You know, I'd rather bust a man than buy him.
- Well, that's up to you now. - Yeah, sure is. Now go on. Get.
Do you have any information for me?
You sure there's not something you neglected to mention?
Something you forgot?
Jack.
No.
Nothing.
Nothing. Well.
How about that, Sugar? Nothing. Am I alone in this?
The bastards are pounding at the gate...
...they're gonna put a vote of impeachment on the calendar!
They take that vote today, I'm out!
I need Judge Irwin with me.
Or at least not against me.
So whatever it is...
...that you don't have on him...
...use it.
I'm sorry, what did you say?
I said I'm going over to the judge's.
Well, you mean later. He'll be napping this time of day.
There isn't any time he'll wanna hear...
...what I have to tell him.
He's not well, you know.
I can't help that.
I do wish you wouldn't get mixed up in things.
It isn't me mixed up in them.
The judge is napping right now, Mr. Burden.
I'll wait in his study until he comes down.
Fire this marble.
Watch the chandelier.
Okay, you can fire.
Hello, Jack. I didn't know you were at your mother's.
- You just get in? - Last night.
Yeah. It's a bit early in the day, but what do you think?
A touch of bourbon never hurt anyone.
Least not you and me.
We're indestructible, aren't we, you and me?
- No, thanks. - "No, thanks," he says.
Begging the question, as the old man pours just one drink...
...what's on your mind?
Out with it.
You know who I work for.
How could I forget?
But let's just sit and pretend that I have.
Come sit over here with me.
The truth is I don't hold the same low opinion of him...
...as many of our friends on the Row.
I was almost for him at one time.
He was busting out windowpanes and, yeah, letting in some fresh air.
But now I am worried about him knocking down the whole house.
So you threw in with his enemies after you said you wouldn't.
Oh, Jack.
What is politics but a matter of choices?
You make a choice knowing there's a chance it's the wrong one.
You've made a choice and you know how much it's cost you.
There's always a price for everything we do.
When we came by that night and were leaving...
...you said you would think about it.
About calling off the dogs? No, I did not say that.
Your memory is faulty, sir. He said, "Think about it"...
...which I don't have to.
I don't have to think about things I already know.
You should think it over. Even now...
...because it's not too late.
Too late for what?
Hey, Jack.
Jesus.
- What is it? - Just say you'll back Stark...
...against these attacks. - No!
Now, that has the sound of finality, don't it?
- Yes, it does. - Yeah.
You know, I find this difficult to believe.
For me too.
And that your boss would even think he could pressure me.
Could blackmail me.
- The first word is better. - The first word is prettier, not better.
Don't you know that this stuff wouldn't stand up? Not in any court.
It happened almost 25 years ago.
You couldn't get any testimony...
...except from that woman who is related...
...and whose testimony, if she gave it...
...would be worthless.
And everybody else, Jack...
...everybody else is dead.
You're not.
You're not dead. And you don't live in any court.
You live in the world, where people think you're a certain kind of man.
I am a certain kind of man.
You know, when I was a kid it seemed natural...
...that a grown man would stay up nights with catgut...
...and steel wire, pliers and scissors, and make little catapults.
Read books about them.
Will you change your mind?
You know, I could hurt you, Jack.
Like you're trying to hurt me.
I could say something.
I could tell you something...
...that would hurt.
But I won't.
Think it over. I'll be by tomorrow.
My mind's made up now.
I'll come back tomorrow.
Made up now.
Mother. Mother.
- Mother. Mama. - You! You! You did it!
- What? - You killed him!
- Who? - You killed him.
- Mother, who? - You killed him.
- Who? - You killed him!
- Who, M--? - You killed him! You killed him!
- Who, Mother? - Your father!
You killed your father!
"I am the resurrection and the life," saith the Lord.
"He that believeth in me, though he were dead...
...yet shall he live.
Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."
I know that my redeemer liveth...
...and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.
And though this body be destroyed, yet shall I see God...
...and I shall see for myself...
...and mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.
We brought nothing into this world...
...and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
- The city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most Highest.
God is in the midst of her.
Therefore, shall she not be removed.
- In every good work to do his will...
...working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight...
...through Jesus Christ to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
I told you to scare him, not scare him to death.
- He wasn't scared. - Then why did he do it?
- Jack? - I don't wanna discuss it.
Well, let me just say this.
I know that he was some kind of friend of the family...
...growing up, all that, so I'm sorry the old bastard shot himself...
...but we still got MacMurphy and his boys to deal with.
And that didn't work out the way we hoped.
You need to get someone else for all of it. I'm through.
Through with it or with me?
I don't wanna discuss it.
After any great trauma or crisis...
... after the shock subsides and the nerves stop twitching...
... you settle down to the new condition of things...
... because you know that all possibility of any more change...
... has been used up.
You've seen the pattern finally...
... because you've stepped back far enough to take in the whole picture.
But it's too late now to do anything but accommodate yourself to it.
And that's it.
There's nothing left to do or say...
... except that God and nothing have a lot in common.
The end.
What you don't know is that you're wrong.
Oh, God, Jack.
You've gotta help me.
He's crazy. He came to see me, said the most terrible things. . .
...and then he walked out. - Who? Willie?
No, Adam.
He said it was my fault.
- Everything was my fault. - Well... .
Someone called him...
...and told him...
...about me.
About you?
About you and the governor. You can say it, Anne.
It doesn't hurt any more to hear it than to know it.
He told him what I'd done...
...and he said that I'd do anything to help the governor...
...get what he wanted. Even if that meant...
...sacrificing my brother to some kind of fraud.
Which is all the hospital was.
Nothing but a scheme to rob the state.
And that when the truth came out...
...and it would, Adam would take the blame.
He'd go to prison. For every scheme needs a fall guy and he's it.
- Whoever said that is lying. - I know.
I tried to tell him that's not the way it was. That he was wrong.
But he wouldn't listen.
He grabbed me and said that he would not be made a fool.
That everything else could be filthy and corrupt...
...but that a man didn't have to be.
And then he said that...
...he wouldn't be a paid pimp to his sister's whore.
He said that to me.
Well, neither will I.
Why did you do it?
- You knew what it would do to me. - It had nothing to do with you.
- Then what? - I don't know!
- Well, you better think of something! - I wasn't thinking--!
Yes, you were! Yes, you were.
Was it because of me or in spite of me?
I'd never hurt you like that.
You would and you have.
Oh, God, Jack. You have to help me.
I'm afraid Adam's gonna do something to himself.
Adam?
Dear God, you are the unseen Lord of this chamber...
...the silent listener...
...the judge of our deliberations.
Bless the senators you sit among.
We place our trust in your guidance.
You are our Lord and Savior.
- Amen. - Amen.
All persons are commanded to keep silent...
- ... on pain of imprisonment... - Adam!
...while the Senate of the state of Louisiana...
... sits for the trial of the articles of impeachment...
... against the honorable William Stark, governor of state of Louisiana.
I'll go up and make some calls.
Anne...
...I'm sure it's gonna be fine.
- Mr. Gidré. - Nay.
- Mr. Honoré. - Yea.
- Mr. Hobbes. - Nay.
- Mr. Landmark. - Nay.
- Mr. Latché. - Yea.
- Mr. Mouton. - Nay.
- Mr. Pelerant. - Nay.
- Mr. Rivette. - Yea.
- Mr. Rousseau. - Nay.
- Mr. Savoir. - Nay.
- Mr. Tesh. - Nay.
Seventeen yeas, 22 nays.
The impeachment of Governor Willie Stark fails.
There is a line between what is acceptable and what is not.
Now, the governor has stepped over that line to guide this vote...
...using means that are inappropriate.
Now, I'll call that undue influence.
I'll go further, I'll call it coercion.
Mr. MacMurphy!
You say every word but the one you mean, sir!
Go ahead, say it out loud. We're all friends here.
But I blackmailed nobody, to be factual!
I merely gave you the opportunity to act...
...in accordance with your own nature...
...and like all good men, rise above principle.
Jack!
We did it! We did it, boy! We stopped that clock!
Ain't gonna be no impeachment today!
Someone called him, Adam.
And said that I'd do anything to help the governor get what he wanted.
Even if that meant sacrificing my brother to some kind of fraud.
Which is all the hospital was.
Nothing but a scheme to rob the state.
Adam would take the blame.
He'd go to prison. For every scheme needs a fall guy and he's it.
That's not true.
Whoever said that is lying.
Hey, doc. Where you been? You been out there swimming?
So listen to me. Listen here...
... and lift your eyes...
... and look on the God's blessed and unflyblown truth:
You are a hick and ain't nobody never helped a hick but a hick hisself.
It's up to you to nail these parasites up.
Up to you and me and God.
- Nail up Joe Harrison! - Nail him up!
- Nail up MacMurphy! - Nail him up!
And nail up any bastard that gets between you...
...and the roads and the bridges and the schools...
...and the food you need. You give me the hammer and I'll do it.
