I'm running this bank my way. Get that clear!
Gentlemen, you notice Mr. Dickson refuses to consider our wishes. He refuses an offer to merge with the New York Trust the only thing that will put this bank on safe ground. He insists upon running a bank on so flimsy a thing as . . . as faith!
Yes! You said it, Clark. That's the only thing that means anything to me.
We want to talk to you.
What about?
We'll discuss that in the board room.
We'll be forced to shut the doors. I've worked twentyfive years night and day to keep this bank alive. You've all made money out of it. Are you willing to help?
What do you mean, help?
I know that among you, you have at least a million dollars in various banks throughout the city. Get that money over here and I'll stop this run within five minutes.
That sounds very simple, Dickson, but why should we jeopardize our personal fortunes?
I have everything I own in it. It's your bank as well as mine, isn't it?
The depositors you were protecting were the first ones to pounce on you. You thought they were your friends. Why don't you go out there now and try and get some help from them?
Aw, they've gone crazy. You can't reason with a mob.
No. You can't reason with anyone else when you're in a jam. We pleaded with you to keep liquid, but you wouldn't listen to us. You preached to us about faith and a lot of other rubbish. Now you want our help. You want us to throw a lot of cash into a bank that you've wrecked. All right. There's one way you can get it. Give us an option on your stock and resign as president.
So, that's it, eh? You've waited a long time for this chance, haven't you? Well, I'm not going to resign now or ever.
Say, you can't do that
I can't? You just wait and see. If that run doesn't stop within the next hour, I'll shut the doors. You know what that means? The bank examiner will step in tomorrow. You'll be forced to liquidate. I'll insist upon it. The depositors will be paid one hundred cents on the dollar. What's left you gentlemen can have. But I'll guarantee there won't be enough to pay your next month's garage bill.
Dickson, I'd like to talk to you about the bank.
The bank. All right. Do anything you want with it.
Come out here you pawnbrokers take a look at this!
We've been waiting fifteen minutes
You know what you can do with that! Come on, take a look at this! You'll see a demonstration of faith that's worth more than all the collateral in the world.
Personally, I think you're getting panicstricken about nothing. Dickson's all right.
Oh, is he? We carry more unsecured paper than any other institution in the city. We're fools to tolerate it.
Don't make me laugh, Schultz!
Dickson doesn't have to go. But he must agree to this merger with New York Trust
What good will that do?
What good will that do? Why, it will take control away from him. We'll put somebody else in charge, call in all doubtful loans, and be on safe ground again. That's what good it will do!
How are you protecting your depositors? By making a lot of idiotic loans!
Take it easy, Clark.
You know Dickson as well as we do. He'll shut the doors before he gives up control.
All right, let him! I'm sick and tired of hearing about him. If he wants to run the bank, let him do it. I don't want any part of it.
Mr. Dickson in yet?
Not yet, Mr. Clark.
When he comes in, tell him we're waiting for him in the board room.
Yes, sir.
And tell him not to delay.
Yes, sir.
Say Matt, I'll have to have some money for those Manville payrolls.
How much?
About twentyfour thousand.
It was more than that last week.
Yeah.
Here's twentyfive thousand.
Say, do me a favor, will you Charlie?
Yeah.
Let me have ten bucks?
Ten bucks? Say, if I had ten bucks, I'd quit.
Charlie!
Yeah?
I'll pay it back to you Saturday on the level I will. Give a guy a break, will you? I've got to get it back in my account. If Helen ever finds out that I
Baby, I can't give you anything but love...
Whose death?
It'll be yours if you don't kick in with that ten bucks.
Say pal, did you ever hear of a Depression?
Aw, nerts!
Where you been?
Where do you think I've been? I took the baby for a stroll in the park.
What's the matter, Charlie?
I'm fourteen cents out, and it took me half an hour to find the mistake. And me with a date, too.
I remember once when your account checked.
Yeah.
And listen, wise guy I'm setting friend time clock for exactly nine o'clock, so no squawks out of you guys in the morning.
Say, don't annoy me. I got troubles of my own.
Oscar, what's the matter?
I was the first one to see it. I was coming down the stairs, and there was the watchman lying dead at my feet.
No kidding?
No kidding. When I saw it, you could'a knocked me over with a pin.
Where's Matt?
Matt?
Yeah. He'll have a tough time thinking up a wisecrack for this one . . .
The detectives got Matt up there in Sampson's office.
He has?
Yeah.
Hello, Tom.
You here again? What do you want?
What do you suppose anybody wants? Money, money, money!
Listen, I told you I wasn't interested in that deal, didn't I?
I want to know why .
Tom, I never had trouble getting credit from you before. When I was flat broke you gave me all the money I wanted. Now I come to you with a swell deal, and the greatest
I'll tell you why. I don't like the crowd you're mixed up with. Personally, you can have all the credit you want. But for that deal not a cent.
But listen, Tom, I
What's the idea of turning her down? It sounds like a perfectly safe investment.
She's a widow. I don't like taking mortgages from widows.
Why not?
If she can't pay, I'll have to foreclose, won't I?
Yes sure
Yeah sure!
No, thank you.
I'd like some tea, please.
Sorry.
Has Mr. Kessler said anything regarding the attack on the moors?
He may have a point, Lieutenant. Two strong boys would be able to defend themselves against one man.
Sgt. McManus, are you suggesting that David and Jack were, in fact, attacked by some animal and that the officialdom of East Proctor has conspired to keep it a secret? We have an autopsy report on the murderer who was shot in the act by the local police. We have two witnesses to the crime. You'll forgive me, Mr. Kessler, if I consider your testimony as coming from someone who has gone through a terrible shock.
Lieutenant, the boy seems pretty lucid to me and...
And what, Sergeant?
I don't rightly know, sir.
That is precisely my point. David, as far as we are concerned, the matter is closed. We won't trouble you any further. Good day.
I cannot accept a connection between David Kessler and last night's murders. We will find him, however. I can assure you of that.
We'll find him, not to worry.
