Gentleman Jim Page #5

Oh, yes, indeed. I can testify to that.

Watson, this is the chap

I was telling you about.

Saved my judicial skin last night.

Oh, I'm pleased to meet

you. Pardon the glove.

Very proud to meet you, too, Mr. Watson.

Heard a lot about you, sir.

This is the man who taught

the Prince of Wales how to box.

Really? How interesting.

I do a little boxing myself.

Of course, just backyard stuff.

Could certainly learn a lot from

an expert like you though, sir.

Oh, it's all a matter of practice.

You got a good build for a boxer.

Say, I'd sure like to put those

gloves on with you for a minute.

Well, then, why don't you, Corbett?

- Let Watson show you that left jab of his.

- Great.

I'd like to see it. Always

willing to learn, sir.

- Oh, it's a beauty.

- I'll bet it is.

Hold this, will you, Miss Ware?

Really, Mr. Corbett, I have

an engagement and I'm late.

- This will just take a moment.

- What about the bank? You said...

They can get along without

me until I get back there.

Thank you, Judge. Lace that, will you?

My father's certainly gonna be proud to hear

I've had the gloves on with you, Mr. Watson.

Come on now, Miss Ware. No fancy knots.

You've got a beau already, remember?

Hold this, will you?

Now, young man, I want you

to put your left up like this.

And I'm gonna hit you with my left.

I want to see what you're gonna do.

- Catch on?

- All right, sir. I think so.

Very good.

Now, I'm gonna use what we call a one-two.

And I want you to counter.

- Now, watch it.

- All right, sir.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to jab you.

Sorry? With a left like that?

Well, young man, I see you can

take care of yourself. Come on.

I won't hit you very hard.

In fact, I don't think

I'm gonna hit you at all.

Nice, straightforward chap, isn't he?

Well, I wouldn't call him backward, Judge.

You know, Victoria,

that's very much the type of

young man we've been looking for.

- What for?

- For our athletic memberships.

They're free. Do you

think he'd be interested?

They're free? Yes. I'm sure he would be.

Well, I've already sponsored three of them.

Two baseball players and a hammer thrower.

Look here, Victoria.

If I could get your father

to put up Mr. Corbett's name,

would you be willing to sponsor him?

Judge Geary, this is the most

amazing thing I've ever heard of.

Two hours ago, Mr. Corbett was just

a bank clerk in here on an errand.

And now... Well, look at him.

- He seems perfectly at home, doesn't he?

- At home?

In six months, he'll own the Club.

Then you will put him up?

I don't know how else to get rid of him.

Anyhow, Father Burke, you know you

had us worried there for a while.

You haven't been to our
