his honor, the mayor, now comes out with a statement that earl williams is a dangerous character in the employ of two or three foreign governments and the police are going to get him dead or alive. somebody sends out a tip that this guy is hiding in molly malloy's joint. and this colored policeman, daniels, goes over to pick williams up. williams has read the papers, thinks the cop is going to kill him and shoots first. that is all.
come on, hildy, your deal.
what's the matter? getting yellow?
i give that marriage six months.
hildy won't be able to stay away from a paper any longer than that. did you see her eyes light up when she came in here? like an old fire horse.
i'll give ten to five that marriage won't last six months. hildy's a newspaper man. she's got headlines in her veins -- the way we all have or we'd be out of these lousy jobs.
you're breaking up the game, mollie. what do you want?
what's he want?
i still give that marriage six months.
"but the state has a production for use plan, too. it has a gallows and at seven a.m., unless a miracle occurs, that gallows will be used to separate the soul of earl williams from his body. and out of molly malloy's life will go the one kindly soul she ever knew --" that's as far as hildy got. but, i ask you, can that girl write an interview?
i still say anybody that writes like that ain't going to give it up permanently to sew sox for a guy in the insurance business. now i give that marriage three months and i'm laying three to one. any takers?
well, hildy, we were only saying that a swell reporter like you wouldn't give this up so easily.
hello, mr. burns. yes, she's still here.
who'll keep the lamp in the window for you.
hiya, your honor. schwartz calling. how about it, your honor? any statement on the red uprising tomorrow?
gimme rewrite -- the governor says the situation calls for the militia.
hello, jake. here's a red-hot statement from the governor. he claims that the mayor and the sheriff have shown themselves to be a couple of eight-year-olds playing with fire.
nice to have seen you, mayor.
yeah. i was never so tired in my life.
schwartz calling.  out with hartman's deputies. i'm in a drugstore. you can't call me back because i'm going right on with them.
i say we don't go out any more. let earl williams come to us.
shall we tell her what she looks like?
get around -- get on the side of her.
the door was locked.
we're on to you, hildy. let us in on it.
maybe williams was gonna be her best man.
hold it! something coming up.
