His Girl Friday1940

Murphy:
Why can't you hang this guy at five o'clock instead of seven?

Bensinger:
Sure, it won't hurt you, and we'd make the city edition.

Sheriff:
Oh well now, that's, that's kind of raw, Roy. After all, I can't hang a man in his sleep just to please the newspaper.

Newsman:
No, but you can reprieve him twice so the hanging's three days before election, can't ya?

Endicott:
You can run on a law and order ticket. You can do that all right.

Sheriff:
Honest boys, I had absolutely nothing to do with those reprieves. He's just as sane as I am.
