- Come on. How about a movie?

- No, thanks.

- Why don't you and Buddy go?

- I'd rather not.

It's late for Buddy

and I ought to finish these socks.

Come on, Frank,

you and Ruth can chaperon us.

Lay off. I told you I don't wanna go.

What are you gonna do?

Stay and make faces at yourself all night?

Will you go on to the movies

and let me alone?

Come on.

No job's worth eating your heart out.

But it was my job, wasn't it?

You said so.

I said so, but the company didn't.

They got their own ideas.

Where did they get the idea

Dombrowski was so hot?

Well, he invented that oiling system

that they're using now.

He's saving them dough.

They figure that a guy who could do that

could save them in other ways.

He's got his nose in a book

and going to school...

...while we lay around

and listen to radio.

You gotta hand it to him.

They've already handed it to him,

ain't they?

I suppose if I went around

showing off reading books...

...they'd make me president

of the company.

If you wanna be a sorehead,

forget it.

Sorehead? Sure I'm a sorehead.

Ain't I got a right to be?

How would you like it

if you'd been counting on a break...

...sure you was gonna get it

and all you got was laughed at...

...just because some guy's been

sucking around the boss?

- Yeah?

- Hello, Mr. Taylor.

This is Jenkins

of the Zenith Auto Sales Company.

I showed you the car this afternoon.

Well, forget it. I changed my mind.

I don't want the car.

I tell you I don't want it. I can't afford it.

You two better go on.

You'll be late for the show.

Yes, we'd better. Come on, Ed.

- Goodbye, Ruth.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye. Have a nice time.

- Goodbye.

So long, Frank.

Good Omen was second.

Hordes of grasping, pushing foreigners...

...who are stealing jobs from American

workmen and bread from American homes.

It is to combat this peril,

to preserve and protect standards of living...

...which made American workmen

the envy of the world...

...that we, the challengers, have raised

our rallying cry, "America for Americans. "

The problems has got beyond the point...

...where the American workman

can cope with it alone.

He needs guidance, solidarity...

...and expert advise on the subject

of protecting his job.

We, the challengers, are organized

to provide that solidarity and advise.

- Pop.

- Ours is an organization...

- Can we listen to Speed Foster?

- No. Listen to this guy. He's talking sense.

It is an organization of which it might be

said, "He who is not with us is against us. "

The choice, my friends, is a simple one.

Do you want our

red, white and blue flag...

...replaced by the vile banner of anarchy?

The time has come when we must realize
