but it seems to me

that Suzy is a pretty cute young lady.

Yeah, she's great.

Where's Frank Fry?

Really, you must do something

about that memory of yours.

It wasn't a minute ago that

you read a telegram that Fry sent me.

And it said that

he was on his way to Soda City.

- Don't you remember that?

- Where's Soda City?

Well, I haven't given it much thought,

but I wouldn't imagine

there'd be an overabundance

of Soda Cities on the map.

You could find out some way.

"...bringing you the headlines."

"Los Angeles:
The fire

in the Stewart Aircraft Works

where one man was killed

and many injured,

and half a million dollars

worth of damage caused,

has been

definitely set down to sabotage."

"Police have traced

the incendiary blaze to Barry Kane - "

Don't want any more of that.

Think you'd be rather bored with

the descriptions of yourself.

Or maybe you never get tired of them.

Well, I am. I've been listening

to those reports all morning.

Alright, you knew me. What about it?

Oh, quite a lot about it, Mr Kane.

You've become too famous

to remain so modest.

Tell me one thing.

Why are you covering up Frank Fry?

What's a man like you in this for?

Young man, I don't know

what you're talking about.

I think you do!

Frank Fry is a saboteur who doesn't

mind killing Americans for money.

You must watch yourself, Mr Kane.

I'm telling you

this for your own benefit,

but you have the makings

of an outstanding bore.

You can't get away with this, Tobin!

Even if I don't stop you, others will.

A man like you can't last

in a country like this.

Very pretty speech.

Youthful, passionate, idealistic.

You see, I've already sent for the police.

You can't bluff me.

You're hooked, and you know it.

Must I remind you

that you are the fugitive, and not I?

I'm a prominent citizen,

widely respected.

You are an obscure young workman

wanted for the committing

of an extremely unpopular crime.

Which of us do you think

the police will believe?

Oh, you must think me

a very poor host, Mr Kane.

Now, don't you feel that a long,

cold drink is indicated?

I found out everything

you're gonna tell me.

- I'll have to do the rest by myself.

- You're going to leave us?

Adele, Adele! Mr Kane is going!

I'm sorry. You'll stop, please.

- What does that shoot? Water?

- Bullets, I'm afraid.

You shouldn't be so anxious

to leave us, you'll hurt our feelings.

You make it very hard for me

to refuse your invitations.

- Suzy, come on.

- No, no, Suzy! Come here.

Hello, Suzy.

You know where we're going?

For a piggyback ride.

You like piggyback rides?

Dick, Joe! Get after him!

Hurry up! Get him!

Get after him! Hurry up!

- Come on. Get going.
