00:00Here you are, ma'am. I'll give you back your money now.

00:03Why, what do you mean?

00:04I'll be getting along.

00:05Where?

00:06Well, out of town, don't you think?

00:09But you're coming to work for me.

00:11You really didn't mean that, did you?

00:13But of course I meant it. Besides, if you don't, they'll put you in jail.

00:16That's why I offered it to you, so you wouldn't go to jail.

00:21Why should you be so interested in whether or not I'd go to jail?

00:23Because you didn't deserve it. I warned you what would happen.

00:27And because you were reading Dickens and...

00:30Look, Mrs. McLeod, it's very kind of you, but I don't want to stay in this town.

00:34So, if it's all the same to you...

00:36But you can't go now. You're on probation to me.

00:39If you skip town, I'll get in trouble.

00:41And I'm afraid there are people who'd like to see me get in trouble right now.

00:45Seems to me you go out looking for it.

00:47Well, I can't just stand by and do nothing about the wicked things I see go on.

00:52You've got a newspaper. Can't you do anything there?

00:55I've tried. But you see, Dougherty's the big boss.

00:59And he controls the other newspaper. And he's kind of powerful.

01:03Well, running a newspaper is not a woman's job.

01:06And why don't you get hold of some young person with plenty of fight in him and let him handle it for you?

01:10There isn't anyone.

01:12Though when I heard the way you spoke up to Flynn in court, I...

01:16Did wonder for a minute whether you might...

01:20Oh, no, no. No, I'm sorry.

01:23Looks like I got myself into something here.

01:26I'll tell you what I'll do. I don't want to get you into trouble.

01:29So while my probation lasts, I'll come and work for you as a reporter.

01:32But as far as helping you straighten out that man, or whatever his name is,

01:36I think you'll have to forget about that.

01:40Well, I guess maybe you'd like something to eat.

01:43Why not let it be on me and my very visual means of support?

01:46Will you step across the street?

01:48Well, that's very nice of you, but there's no point in wasting money unless plenty of food at home.

01:55Meet Anne McLeod?
