Together Again Page #3

-lt`s the manpower, Your Honor.

-Manpower, my eye. Use womanpower, then.

Women? To collect garbage?

Why not? Women see more garbage

in their lives than men do, don`t they?

They might as well get paid for it.

Extra! Extra! Jonathan Crandall got

his block knocked off. Read all about it.

Extra! Extra! Jonathan Crandall got

his block knocked off. Read all about it.

That certainly was a tragedy

what happened to Jonathan, Your Honor.

Nonsense. What`s tragic about it?

It can easily be repaired.

All right. You told me to shut up

unless I heard from him.

-All right, l`ve heard from him.

-Father, what on Earth...

Jonathan. You don`t think

that was an accident, do you?

Look at that.

Does that look like an accident?

Father...

If that isn`t your answer, I never saw one.

Jonathan pitched that lightning bolt himself.

He had the greatest right I ever saw, anyway.

You asked for a sign,

all right, you`ve got one.

Now will you quit lying to yourself

and burst those chains

and start having some fun for yourself?

-Father! Mr. Witherspoon is here.

-Why?

-Hello, Witherspoon.

-Hi.

Mr. Witherspoon`s having problems

on the Southside.

But it`s nothing compared to your problem,

Mr. Crandall.

My trouble is just man shortage.

So is ours.

My father-in-law has

such a delightful sense of humor.

-Your Honor, the Potter kid and...

-Tell him to wait.

The mayor says that you`re going to

put Jonathan back together again.

We are not.

-Of course we are!

-We are not!

I waited five years for an excuse

to get rid of that bronze monstrosity.

-Your Honor, Mr. Buchanan is here.

-I can`t see him just now. Explain to him...

That the garbage collector is here.

That`s perfect. I want to see him, too.

I thought

your business was collecting trash,

instead of leaving it around

to be an eyesore.

-Why, it is.

-Why don`t you collect it, then?

Look here, Mr. Buchanan...

There is a pile of trash

over in the town square

that`s the worst eyesore I ever saw.

It`s always been an eyesore,

but now that it`s got no head...

Do you want me to haul it away?

Over my dead body you`ll haul

that statue away. That statue stays.

Even without a head, my son`s a better man

than you are, Mort Buchanan.

-But you just said, Mr. Crandall...

-I don`t care what I said.

If Mort Buchanan wants it hauled away,

it stays.

If you gentlemen have finished,

l`ll tell you what`s going to be done.

The statue is going to be repaired.

Mother, Mother, l`ve just heard the most

awful thing l`ve ever heard in my life.

Diana, dear, what is it?

I heard you were going to put

my father`s head back on again.

Well, yes, dear, I thought...

Mother, I didn`t believe it when they told me.
