is my shingle showing? i thought they were very good. i was proud of you, jack. i was particularly interested in stark's ideas on health and medicine. you know the conditions at the hospital i work in. they're intolerable. i'd like to meet this willie stark. he sounds like an honest man. i have a question. a lot of people in this state have been saying that you've been making deals. some of them with the very groups that you claim you're against. is that true? you're sure about that? shoot. you tell me, mr. stark. no, i didn't. there's another question i'd like to ask you. you say there's only bad to start with and the good must come with the bad. who's to determine what's good and what's bad?. you? how? that's his bribe. hello. come on, anne, take this food and start cooking. i'm hungry. it's been a long time since i played this thing. what do you say we wake up the ghosts, huh? remember the last time i played this? you and anne were dancing? what shall we drink to? don't you ever stop working for him? i came up here to get away. nothing, except that i'm not going to take it. that's partly it. there are other things. you too? all right, let's discuss it. calmly. go ahead, jack. why do you think he wants me? it could have nothing to do with my name being stanton? that's your answer. or heads. at what price? do you really believe that, jack? pain is an evil; it is not evil. it is not evil in itself. stark is evil. how would they know? the first thing he did was to take over the newspapers and the radio stations. why be so afraid of criticism? if stark is interested in doing good, he should also be interested in the truth. i don't see how you can separate the two. no, stark is not for me. anne. anne. i just got a call from dr. birnham. the earliest he can possibly get here will be tomorrow morning. that's up to governor stark. he wanted another doctor. a specialist. i sent for one. he's unconscious. and paralyzed. to live? yes. even if the operation's successful -- that is, if he lives -- i think he'll be paralyzed for life. there are some things, governor stark, that even you can't buy. do you want me to operate, or don't you? yes. what are you trying to convince me of? i've taken the job. my reasons are my own. why are you building a hospital? and get some votes. yes, i know. i won't stand for any interference. if that's a threat, you're wasting your time. you know what i think of your administration. what are you doing here? oh, i see. well, good night. aren't you going back with him? why not? you belong with him. jack, how could you have done it? when anne brought me those papers she told me you promised not to tell stark until. anne? anne?
