00:02:32.277 --> 00:02:33.903
Rosebud.

00:03:12.276 --> 00:03:14.277
News on the March.

00:03:33.797 --> 00:03:35.798
Legendary was the Xanadu...

00:03:35.966 --> 00:03:39.468
...where Kubla Khan decreed
his stately pleasure dome.

00:03:39.636 --> 00:03:43.097
Today, almost as legendary,
is Florida's Xanadu...

00:03:43.265 --> 00:03:46.225
...the world's largest
private pleasure ground.

00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.689
Here on the deserts of the Gulf Coast,
a private mountain...

00:03:51.857 --> 00:03:53.900
...was commissioned
and successfully built.

00:03:54.067 --> 00:03:57.236
One hundred thousand trees,
twenty thousand tons of marble...

00:03:57.404 --> 00:03:59.989
...are the ingredients
of Xanadu's mountain.

00:04:01.033 --> 00:04:03.409
Contents of Xanadu's palace:

00:04:03.577 --> 00:04:07.705
Paintings, pictures, statues,
various stones of other palaces.

00:04:08.123 --> 00:04:09.916
A collection of everything.

00:04:10.083 --> 00:04:13.252
So big it can never
be cataloged or appraised.

00:04:13.420 --> 00:04:17.256
Enough for 10 museums,
the loot of the world.

00:04:20.844 --> 00:04:22.803
Xanadu's livestock...

00:04:23.847 --> 00:04:29.352
...the fowl of the air, the fish of the
sea, the beast of the field and jungle...

00:04:29.686 --> 00:04:33.940
...two of each,
the biggest private zoo since Noah.

00:04:34.858 --> 00:04:36.692
Like the pharaohs...

00:04:36.860 --> 00:04:40.821
...Xanadu's landlord leaves many stones
to mark his grave.

00:04:42.032 --> 00:04:43.866
Since the pyramids...

00:04:44.117 --> 00:04:46.744
...Xanadu is the costliest monument...

00:04:46.912 --> 00:04:49.330
...a man has built to himself.

00:05:02.386 --> 00:05:05.012
Here in Xanadu last week...

00:05:05.180 --> 00:05:08.265
...Xanadu's landlord was laid to rest.

00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.310
A potent figure of our century...

00:05:11.478 --> 00:05:13.604
...America's Kubla Khan:

00:05:14.064 --> 00:05:15.898
Charles Foster Kane.

00:05:43.135 --> 00:05:48.389
Its humble beginnings,
in this ramshackle building, a dying daily.

00:05:48.557 --> 00:05:50.975
Kane's empire, in its glory...

00:05:51.143 --> 00:05:55.271
...held dominion over 37 newspapers,
two syndicates...

00:05:55.480 --> 00:06:00.026
...a radio network,
an empire upon an empire.

00:06:00.193 --> 00:06:03.946
The first of grocery stores, paper mills...

00:06:04.114 --> 00:06:09.702
...apartment buildings,
factories, forests, ocean liners.

00:06:09.870 --> 00:06:13.122
An empire through which for 50 years...

00:06:13.290 --> 00:06:15.708
...flowed in an unending stream...

00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.211
...the wealth of the Earth's
third richest gold mine.

00:06:20.130 --> 00:06:23.716
Famed in American legend
is the origin of the Kane fortune.

00:06:23.884 --> 00:06:29.388
How, to boarding housekeeper Mary Kane,
by a defaulting boarder, in 1868...

00:06:29.556 --> 00:06:33.309
...was left the supposedly worthless deed
to an abandoned mineshaft:

00:06:33.477 --> 00:06:36.520
The Colorado Lode.

00:06:36.688 --> 00:06:40.775
Fifty-seven years later,
before a congressional investigation...

00:06:40.942 --> 00:06:44.320
...Walter P. Thatcher,
grand old man of Wall Street...

00:06:44.488 --> 00:06:48.115
...for years chief target
of Kane papers' attacks on trusts...

00:06:48.283 --> 00:06:50.576
...recalls a journey he made as a youth.

00:06:50.744 --> 00:06:54.080
My firm had been appointed trustee
by Mrs. Kane...

00:06:54.247 --> 00:06:56.499
...for a large fortune
she recently acquired.

00:06:56.666 --> 00:07:00.920
It was her wish that I take charge
of this boy, Charles Foster Kane.

00:07:01.088 --> 00:07:05.508
Chief, is it not, that on this occasion,
Charles Foster Kane...

00:07:05.675 --> 00:07:09.637
...personally attacked you after
striking you in the stomach with a sled?

00:07:11.014 --> 00:07:13.849
I shall read to the committee
a prepared statement...

00:07:14.017 --> 00:07:19.480
...which I have brought with me,
and then refuse to answer questions.

00:07:19.940 --> 00:07:23.234
Mr. Charles Foster Kane,
in every essence of his social beliefs...

00:07:23.401 --> 00:07:26.320
...and by the dangerous manner
he has persistently attacked...

00:07:26.488 --> 00:07:28.656
...American traditions
of private property...

00:07:28.824 --> 00:07:31.075
...initiative and opportunity
for advancement...

00:07:31.243 --> 00:07:35.079
...is, in fact, nothing more or less
than a communist.

00:07:35.247 --> 00:07:37.665
That same month in Union Square...

00:07:37.833 --> 00:07:40.376
The words "Charles Foster Kane"...

00:07:40.544 --> 00:07:44.046
...are a menace
to every workingman in this land.

00:07:44.381 --> 00:07:49.718
He is today what he has always been
A fascist.

00:07:50.095 --> 00:07:51.595
And still another opinion...

00:08:09.072 --> 00:08:12.575
Kane urged his country's entry
into one war...

00:08:12.784 --> 00:08:15.411
...opposed participation in another.

00:08:15.662 --> 00:08:19.456
Swung the election
to one American president at least.

00:08:19.666 --> 00:08:22.918
Spoke for millions of Americans.

00:08:23.253 --> 00:08:25.880
Was hated by as many more.

00:08:26.214 --> 00:08:29.758
For 40 years
appeared in Kane newsprint...

00:08:30.010 --> 00:08:34.346
...no public issue
on which Kane papers took no stand.

00:08:34.764 --> 00:08:40.060
No public man whom Kane himself
did not support or denounce.

00:08:40.228 --> 00:08:44.231
Often support, then denounce.

00:08:52.532 --> 00:08:55.951
Twice married, twice divorced.

00:08:56.286 --> 00:08:58.495
First to a president's niece...

00:08:58.663 --> 00:09:01.749
...Emily Norton, who left him in 1916.

00:09:02.292 --> 00:09:05.878
Died 1918 in a motor accident
with their son.

00:09:08.089 --> 00:09:10.633
Sixteen years after his first marriage...

00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:13.093
...two weeks after his first divorce...

00:09:13.303 --> 00:09:15.387
...Kane married Susan Alexander...

00:09:15.555 --> 00:09:18.807
...singer, at the Town Hall in Trenton,
New Jersey.

00:09:19.601 --> 00:09:25.064
For wife two, one-time opera-singing
Susan Alexander...

00:09:25.232 --> 00:09:28.317
...Kane built
Chicago's Municipal Opera House.

00:09:28.485 --> 00:09:30.945
$3 million.

00:09:31.112 --> 00:09:36.992
Conceived for Susan Alexander Kane,
half-finished before she divorced him...

00:09:37.160 --> 00:09:39.161
...the still unfinished...

00:09:39.329 --> 00:09:40.663
...Xanadu.

00:09:40.830 --> 00:09:43.999
No man can say.

00:09:47.337 --> 00:09:50.673
Kane, molder of mass opinion
though he was...

00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.467
...in all his life
was never granted elective office...

00:09:53.635 --> 00:09:55.219
...by the voters of his country.

00:09:55.387 --> 00:09:58.097
But Kane papers
were once strong indeed...

00:09:58.265 --> 00:10:00.766
...and once the prize seemed almost his.

00:10:01.017 --> 00:10:04.436
In 1916, as independent candidate
for governor...

00:10:04.604 --> 00:10:06.939
...the best elements of the state
behind him...

00:10:07.107 --> 00:10:11.860
...the White House seemingly the next easy
step in a lightning political career...

00:10:12.028 --> 00:10:15.864
...then suddenly, less than one week
before election...

00:10:16.449 --> 00:10:20.703
...defeat.
Shameful, ignominious.

00:10:20.870 --> 00:10:24.456
Defeat that set back for 20 years
the cause of reform in the U. S...

00:10:24.624 --> 00:10:28.252
...forever canceled political chances
for Charles Foster Kane.

00:10:30.964 --> 00:10:34.842
Then, in the first year
of the Great Depression...

00:10:35.010 --> 00:10:37.344
...a Kane paper closes.

00:10:37.512 --> 00:10:41.015
For Kane, in four short years, collapse.

00:10:41.391 --> 00:10:46.603
Eleven Kane papers merged,
more sold, scrapped.

00:10:56.239 --> 00:10:57.281
Is that correct?

00:10:57.449 --> 00:10:59.700
Don't believe everything you hear
on the radio.

00:10:59.868 --> 00:11:03.704
- Read the Inquirer.
- How were business conditions in Europe?

00:11:03.872 --> 00:11:07.750
How did I find business conditions
in Europe, Mr. Bones?

00:11:07.917 --> 00:11:09.251
With great difficulty.

00:11:12.130 --> 00:11:13.756
Are you glad to be back?

00:11:13.923 --> 00:11:16.425
I'm always glad to be back.
I'm an American.

00:11:17.302 --> 00:11:19.762
Always been an American.
Anything else?

00:11:19.929 --> 00:11:22.931
When I was a reporter,
we asked them quicker than that.

00:11:23.099 --> 00:11:25.559
What do you think
of the chances for war in Europe?

00:11:25.727 --> 00:11:29.980
I talked with the responsible leaders
of England, France, Germany and Italy.

00:11:30.148 --> 00:11:32.524
They're too intelligent
to embark on a project...

00:11:32.692 --> 00:11:35.152
...which would mean
the end of civilization.

00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.822
You can take my word for it,
there will be no war.

00:11:43.244 --> 00:11:45.829
Kane helped to change the world...

00:11:45.997 --> 00:11:48.624
...but Kane's world now is history...

00:11:48.792 --> 00:11:52.127
...and the great yellow journalist himself
lived to be history...

00:11:52.295 --> 00:11:54.588
...outlived his power to make it.

00:11:55.465 --> 00:11:59.468
Alone in his never-finished,
already decaying pleasure palace...

00:11:59.719 --> 00:12:03.138
...aloof, seldom visited,
never photographed...

00:12:03.431 --> 00:12:07.935
...an emperor of newsprint
continued to direct his failing empire.

00:12:08.103 --> 00:12:10.813
Vainly attempted to sway,
as he once did...

00:12:11.189 --> 00:12:14.525
...the destinies of a nation
that had ceased to listen to him...

00:12:14.692 --> 00:12:16.443
...ceased to trust him.

00:12:18.655 --> 00:12:23.283
Then last week, as it must to all men...

00:12:23.451 --> 00:12:26.036
...death came to Charles Foster Kane.

00:12:26.996 --> 00:12:29.498
News on the March.

00:12:33.837 --> 00:12:35.796
- That's it.
- Hello. Hello.

00:12:35.964 --> 00:12:38.841
- Stand by.
- I'll tell you if we want to run it again.

00:12:39.008 --> 00:12:41.552
- How about it, Mr. Rawlston?
- How do you like it?

00:12:41.719 --> 00:12:43.345
Seventy years in a man's life.

00:12:43.513 --> 00:12:45.556
That's a lot to try to get into a newsreel.

00:12:45.723 --> 00:12:48.058
It's a good short,
but what it needs is an angle.

00:12:48.226 --> 00:12:51.437
All we saw on that screen
was that Charles Foster Kane is dead.

00:12:51.604 --> 00:12:53.605
I know that. I read the papers.

00:12:53.773 --> 00:12:56.400
It isn't enough
to tell us what a man did...

00:12:56.568 --> 00:12:59.653
...you've got to tell us who he was.

00:12:59.821 --> 00:13:03.031
Wait a minute.
What were Kane's last words?

00:13:03.199 --> 00:13:05.033
Do you remember, boys?

00:13:05.201 --> 00:13:07.536
What were the last words
he said on Earth?

00:13:07.704 --> 00:13:09.830
Maybe he told us about himself
on his deathbed.

00:13:09.998 --> 00:13:12.916
- Maybe he didn't.
- All we saw was a big American.

00:13:13.084 --> 00:13:15.836
How did he differ from Ford,
Hearst or John Doe?

00:13:16.004 --> 00:13:18.672
- Yeah, sure.
- I tell you, a man's dying words...

00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:20.799
- What were they?
- You don't read the papers.

00:13:20.967 --> 00:13:23.385
When Charles Foster Kane died,
he said one word:

00:13:23.553 --> 00:13:26.263
"Rosebud."
That's all he said? Tough guy.

00:13:26.431 --> 00:13:28.724
Yes, "Rosebud." Just that one word.

00:13:29.058 --> 00:13:30.684
- But who is she?
- What was it?

00:13:30.852 --> 00:13:32.895
Here's a man
who could've been president...

00:13:33.062 --> 00:13:35.272
...who was as loved, hated
and talked about...

00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.900
...as any man in our time,
but when he dies...

00:13:38.067 --> 00:13:40.235
...something is on his mind
called Rosebud.

00:13:40.403 --> 00:13:42.779
- What does that mean?
- A racehorse he bet on once.

00:13:42.947 --> 00:13:45.240
- That didn't come in.
- But what was the race?

00:13:45.408 --> 00:13:46.450
Rosebud.

00:13:46.618 --> 00:13:47.701
- Thompson.
- Yes.

00:13:47.869 --> 00:13:51.246
- Hold this up a week, two if you must.
- Don't you think right after he's dead...

00:13:51.414 --> 00:13:56.084
Find out about Rosebud. Get in touch with
anybody who knew him or knew him well.

00:13:56.252 --> 00:13:57.961
That manager of his... Uh...

00:13:58.129 --> 00:14:00.547
Bernstein. His second wife.
She's still living.

00:14:00.715 --> 00:14:01.882
Susan Alexander Kane.

00:14:02.050 --> 00:14:04.801
- She runs a nightclub in Atlantic City.
- That's right.

00:14:04.969 --> 00:14:08.305
See them all. Get in touch with everybody
that ever worked for him...

00:14:08.473 --> 00:14:11.600
...whoever loved him,
whoever hated his guts.

00:14:11.768 --> 00:14:14.436
I don't mean go through
the city directory of course.

00:14:14.604 --> 00:14:16.104
I'll get on it right away.

00:14:16.272 --> 00:14:19.691
Good. Rosebud, dead or alive.

00:14:20.109 --> 00:14:22.444
It will probably turn out to be
a very simple thing.

00:15:01.985 --> 00:15:03.527
Miss Alexander.

00:15:04.737 --> 00:15:06.989
This is Mr. Thompson, Miss Alexander.

00:15:07.156 --> 00:15:09.449
I want another drink, John.

00:15:12.370 --> 00:15:15.247
Right away.
Will you have something, Mr. Thompson?

00:15:15.415 --> 00:15:18.917
- I'll have a highball, please.
- Who told you you could sit down?

00:15:20.795 --> 00:15:22.671
I thought maybe we could have a talk.

00:15:22.839 --> 00:15:24.256
Think again.

00:15:25.425 --> 00:15:27.634
Can't you people leave me alone?

00:15:27.802 --> 00:15:29.928
I'm minding my own business,
you mind yours.

00:15:30.096 --> 00:15:32.806
If I could just have a talk with you,
Miss Alexander. I'd...

00:15:32.974 --> 00:15:34.683
Get out of here.

00:15:36.561 --> 00:15:37.811
Get out!

00:15:39.022 --> 00:15:40.689
- Sorry.
- Get out.

00:15:40.982 --> 00:15:43.442
- Maybe some other time.
- Get out.

00:15:54.454 --> 00:15:55.579
Gino.

00:15:57.498 --> 00:15:59.207
Get her another highball.

00:15:59.542 --> 00:16:02.002
She just won't talk to nobody,
Mr. Thompson.

00:16:02.170 --> 00:16:03.420
Okay.

00:16:05.548 --> 00:16:08.884
- Another double?
- Yeah.

00:16:09.052 --> 00:16:10.886
Hello, I want New York City.

00:16:11.054 --> 00:16:16.642
Courtland 79970.
This is Atlantic City 46827. All right.

00:16:16.809 --> 00:16:18.310
Hey.

00:16:18.478 --> 00:16:20.562
- She's, uh...
- Yeah.

00:16:20.730 --> 00:16:22.356
She'll snap out of it.

00:16:22.523 --> 00:16:25.734
Why, until he died, she'd just as soon
talk about Mr. Kane as any...

00:16:25.902 --> 00:16:27.235
- Hello.
- Sooner.

00:16:27.403 --> 00:16:30.030
This is Thompson.
Let me talk to the chief.

00:16:31.824 --> 00:16:33.825
Mr. Rawlston? She won't talk.

00:16:34.077 --> 00:16:36.870
The second Mrs. Kane.
About Rosebud or anything else.

00:16:37.038 --> 00:16:38.705
I'm calling from Atlantic City.

00:16:38.873 --> 00:16:42.417
Tomorrow I'll go to Philadelphia,
to Thatcher Library, to see his diary.

00:16:42.585 --> 00:16:43.835
They're expecting me.

00:16:44.003 --> 00:16:47.464
Then I've a meeting with his general
manager in New York. Bernstein.

00:16:47.632 --> 00:16:49.007
Then I'm coming back here.

00:16:49.175 --> 00:16:52.803
Yeah, I'll see everybody
that's still alive. Goodbye.

00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:55.013
- Hey... Um...
- John.

00:16:55.181 --> 00:16:56.932
You just might be able to help me.

00:16:57.100 --> 00:17:01.103
When she used to talk about Mr. Kane,
did she ever mention Rosebud?

00:17:01.270 --> 00:17:02.771
"Rosebud"?

00:17:02.939 --> 00:17:05.524
Thank you, Mr. Thompson, thanks.

00:17:05.692 --> 00:17:10.445
As a matter of fact, just the other day,
when the papers were full of it...

00:17:11.030 --> 00:17:13.156
...I asked her.

00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:15.826
She never heard of Rosebud.

00:17:28.256 --> 00:17:31.967
The directors of the Thatcher
Memorial Library have asked me...

00:17:32.135 --> 00:17:35.345
...to remind you about the conditions
under which you may...

00:17:35.513 --> 00:17:38.598
...inspect certain portions
of Mr. Thatcher's unpublished memoirs.

00:17:38.766 --> 00:17:41.309
- I remember them.
- Yes, Jennings, I'll bring him in.

00:17:41.477 --> 00:17:43.937
- All I want is an hour...
- Under no circumstances...

00:17:44.105 --> 00:17:47.774
...are direct quotes from his manuscript
to be used by you. You may follow me.

00:17:47.942 --> 00:17:50.110
That's all right. I'm just looking for...

00:18:02.832 --> 00:18:04.499
Jennings.

00:18:09.505 --> 00:18:10.505
Thank you, Jennings.

00:18:11.883 --> 00:18:15.051
You will be required to leave this room
at 4:30 promptly.

00:18:15.219 --> 00:18:17.679
You will confine yourself,
it is our understanding...

00:18:17.847 --> 00:18:21.224
...to the chapters in Mr. Thatcher's
manuscript regarding Mr. Kane.

00:18:21.392 --> 00:18:23.268
That's all I'm interested in.

00:18:24.187 --> 00:18:25.562
Thank you.

00:18:26.856 --> 00:18:30.692
Pages 83 to 142.

00:19:08.231 --> 00:19:10.023
Come on, boys.

00:19:10.191 --> 00:19:12.442
- Be careful, Charles.
- Mrs. Kane.

00:19:12.610 --> 00:19:14.736
Pull your muffler around your neck,
Charles.

00:19:14.904 --> 00:19:17.072
Mrs. Kane,
I think we'll have to tell him now.

00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:21.201
Yes, I'll sign those papers now,
Mr. Thatcher.

00:19:21.369 --> 00:19:24.079
You people seem to forget
that I'm the boy's father.

00:19:24.247 --> 00:19:27.082
It's going to be done exactly the way
I've told Mr. Thatcher.

00:19:27.250 --> 00:19:30.919
There's nothing wrong with Colorado.
I don't see why we can't raise our son...

00:19:31.087 --> 00:19:32.754
...just because we came into money.

00:19:32.922 --> 00:19:35.799
If I want to, I can go to court.
A father has a right to.

00:19:35.967 --> 00:19:39.177
A boarder that beats his bill
and leaves worthless stock behind...

00:19:39.345 --> 00:19:42.180
That property is as much my property
as anybody's...

00:19:42.348 --> 00:19:45.183
...now that it's valuable.
And if Fred Graves had any idea...

00:19:45.351 --> 00:19:48.854
...this would happen, he'd have made out
the certificates in both our names.

00:19:49.021 --> 00:19:52.399
- But they're made out to Mrs. Kane.
- He owed the money to both of us.

00:19:52.567 --> 00:19:57.279
- "The bank's decision in all matters..."
- I don't hold with giving Charles to a bank...

00:19:57.446 --> 00:19:59.614
- Stop this nonsense.
- We're a bit uneducated...

00:19:59.782 --> 00:20:02.033
"The bank's decision
concerning his education...

00:20:02.201 --> 00:20:04.411
...his places of residence,
is to be final."

00:20:04.579 --> 00:20:08.039
- The idea of a bank being the guardian...
- Stop this nonsense, Jim.

00:20:08.207 --> 00:20:11.001
"We will assume full management
of the Colorado Lode"...

00:20:11.168 --> 00:20:13.753
...which I repeat, Mrs. Kane,
you are the sole owner.

00:20:13.921 --> 00:20:15.964
- Where do I sign, Mr. Thatcher?
- Right here.

00:20:16.132 --> 00:20:19.175
Mary, I'm asking you for the last time.

00:20:19.343 --> 00:20:21.761
You'd think I hadn't been
a good husband or father...

00:20:21.929 --> 00:20:23.388
The sum of $50,000 a year...

00:20:23.556 --> 00:20:26.641
...is to be paid to you
and Mr. Kane as long as you both live...

00:20:26.809 --> 00:20:28.935
...and thereafter to the survivor.

00:20:29.520 --> 00:20:32.689
- Let's hope it's all for the best.
- It is.

00:20:32.857 --> 00:20:35.066
The union forever!

00:20:37.570 --> 00:20:40.697
Why I can't raise my own boy
is more than I can understand.

00:20:40.865 --> 00:20:42.782
Go on, Mr. Thatcher.

00:20:42.950 --> 00:20:45.994
Everything else, the principal,
as well as all monies earned...

00:20:46.162 --> 00:20:50.165
...is to be administered by the bank in
trust for your son, Charles Foster Kane...

00:20:50.333 --> 00:20:52.876
...until he reaches his 25th birthday,
at which time...

00:20:53.044 --> 00:20:55.337
...he is to come
into complete possession.

00:20:55.504 --> 00:20:57.088
Charles!

00:20:58.841 --> 00:21:00.425
Go on, Mr. Thatcher.

00:21:00.593 --> 00:21:05.847
Well, it's almost 5.
Don't you think I'd better meet the boy?

00:21:06.015 --> 00:21:07.974
I've got his trunk all packed.

00:21:09.352 --> 00:21:11.686
I've had it packed for a week now.

00:21:14.190 --> 00:21:16.399
I've arranged for a tutor
to meet us in Chicago.

00:21:16.567 --> 00:21:18.735
I'd have brought him
here with me, but...

00:21:19.487 --> 00:21:21.196
- Charles.
- Lookie, Mom.

00:21:21.364 --> 00:21:22.739
You'd better come inside.

00:21:22.907 --> 00:21:25.784
- That's quite a snowman.
- I took the pipe out of his mouth.

00:21:25.952 --> 00:21:27.369
Did you make it yourself?

00:21:27.536 --> 00:21:30.080
Maybe I'll make some
teeth and whiskers.

00:21:30.373 --> 00:21:32.415
This is Mr. Thatcher, Charles.

00:21:32.833 --> 00:21:34.876
- Hello.
- How do you do, Charles?

00:21:35.044 --> 00:21:36.503
He comes from the East.

00:21:36.671 --> 00:21:38.046
- Pa.
- Hello, Charlie.

00:21:38.214 --> 00:21:39.422
Charles.

00:21:40.216 --> 00:21:41.549
Yes, Mommy?

00:21:43.135 --> 00:21:46.137
Mr. Thatcher is going to take you
on a trip with him tonight.

00:21:46.305 --> 00:21:47.931
You'll be leaving on number 10.

00:21:48.099 --> 00:21:50.100
That's the train with all the lights on it.

00:21:50.267 --> 00:21:51.309
You going, Mom?

00:21:51.477 --> 00:21:54.688
No. Your mother won't be going
right away, but she'll...

00:21:55.398 --> 00:21:56.773
Where am I going?

00:21:56.941 --> 00:22:00.902
You're going to see Chicago and New York
and Washington, maybe. Ain't he?

00:22:01.070 --> 00:22:02.153
He certainly is.

00:22:02.321 --> 00:22:05.615
I wish I were a boy going on a trip
like that for the first time.

00:22:05.783 --> 00:22:08.952
- Why aren't you coming with us, Mom?
- We have to stay here, Charles.

00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:11.913
You're gonna live with Mr. Thatcher
from now on, Charlie.

00:22:12.081 --> 00:22:15.500
You're gonna be rich.
Your ma figures, well, that is...

00:22:15.751 --> 00:22:18.837
...me and her decided this ain't the place
for you to grow up in.

00:22:19.005 --> 00:22:21.297
You'll probably be
the richest man someday...

00:22:21.465 --> 00:22:23.883
...and you ought to get...
You won't be lonely.

00:22:24.051 --> 00:22:27.429
Lonely, of course not. We're going to have
fine times together, we are.

00:22:27.596 --> 00:22:30.432
Let's shake hands. Come.
I'm not that frightening, am I?

00:22:30.725 --> 00:22:33.018
- What do you say? Let's shake.
- Why, Charles.

00:22:33.185 --> 00:22:34.894
- Why, you almost hurt me.
- Charlie!

00:22:35.062 --> 00:22:37.439
Sleds aren't to hit people,
but to sleigh with.

00:22:37.606 --> 00:22:38.606
Mom!

00:22:38.774 --> 00:22:41.317
You got to go. Jim!

00:22:41.652 --> 00:22:44.946
I'm sorry, Mr. Thatcher.
What the kid needs is a good thrashing.

00:22:45.114 --> 00:22:46.906
- That's what you think, is it?
- Yes.

00:22:47.074 --> 00:22:51.327
That's why he's going to be brought up
where you can't get at him.

00:23:11.223 --> 00:23:13.391
Well, Charles...

00:23:15.352 --> 00:23:18.229
...Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.

00:23:18.397 --> 00:23:20.565
And a happy New Year.

00:23:20.733 --> 00:23:21.941
In closing...

00:23:22.109 --> 00:23:25.820
...may I remind you your 25th birthday,
which is now approaching...

00:23:25.988 --> 00:23:28.656
...marks your complete independence
from the firm...

00:23:28.824 --> 00:23:32.285
...of Thatcher & Company, as well as
acquiring the full responsibility...

00:23:32.453 --> 00:23:34.788
...for the world's sixth largest
private fortune.

00:23:34.955 --> 00:23:37.999
- Got that?
- "The world's sixth largest private fortune."

00:23:38.167 --> 00:23:42.003
I don't think you realize the full importance
of the position you are to occupy.

00:23:42.171 --> 00:23:44.506
I am therefore enclosing
for your consideration...

00:23:44.673 --> 00:23:47.258
...a list of your holdings,
extensively cross-indexed.

00:23:47.426 --> 00:23:49.552
"Dear Mr. Thatcher."
It's from Mr. Kane.

00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:52.138
- Go on.
- "Sorry, I'm not interested in gold mines...

00:23:52.306 --> 00:23:54.224
...oil wells, shipping or real estate."

00:23:54.391 --> 00:23:56.518
Not interested?

00:23:56.685 --> 00:24:00.021
The New York Inquirer.

00:24:00.189 --> 00:24:03.024
A little newspaper we acquired
in a foreclosure proceeding.

00:24:03.192 --> 00:24:05.485
Don't sell it.
I am coming back to take charge.

00:24:05.653 --> 00:24:08.029
"I think it would be fun
to run a newspaper."

00:24:08.197 --> 00:24:12.242
I think it would be fun
to run a newspaper.

00:24:20.084 --> 00:24:22.210
"Traction Trust exposed."

00:24:22.378 --> 00:24:24.921
"Traction Trust bleeds public white."

00:24:25.089 --> 00:24:28.341
"Traction Trust smashed by Inquirer."

00:24:28.509 --> 00:24:31.928
"Landlords refuse to clear slums."

00:24:32.263 --> 00:24:36.599
"Inquirerwins slum fight." Oh...

00:24:37.309 --> 00:24:41.187
"Wall Street backs copper swindle."

00:24:41.355 --> 00:24:43.398
"Copper robbers indicted."

00:24:43.566 --> 00:24:46.401
"Galleons of Spain off Jersey Coast."

00:24:46.569 --> 00:24:49.070
Is that really your idea
of how to run a newspaper?

00:24:49.238 --> 00:24:52.574
I don't know how to run a newspaper.
I try everything I can think of.

00:24:52.741 --> 00:24:55.577
You know there's not
the slightest proof this...

00:24:55.744 --> 00:24:58.580
...armada's off the Jersey Coast.
Hello, Mr. Bernstein.

00:24:58.747 --> 00:25:00.123
Can you prove it isn't?

00:25:00.291 --> 00:25:03.001
Mr. Bernstein,
I'd like you to meet Mr. Thatcher.

00:25:03.752 --> 00:25:04.878
- Mr. Leland.
- Hello.

00:25:05.045 --> 00:25:06.629
Mr. Thatcher, my ex-guardian.

00:25:06.797 --> 00:25:11.926
We have no secrets from our readers.
Thatcher is one of our devoted readers.

00:25:12.094 --> 00:25:15.847
He knows what's wrong with every copy
of the Inquirer since I took over. Read.

00:25:16.015 --> 00:25:18.975
"Girls delightful in Cuba. Stop.
Could send you prose poems..."

00:25:19.143 --> 00:25:22.854
...about scenery but don't feel right
spending your money. Stop.

00:25:23.022 --> 00:25:25.773
There is no war in Cuba."
Signed "Wheeler." Any answer?

00:25:25.941 --> 00:25:30.403
You provide
the prose poems, I'll provide the war.

00:25:30.571 --> 00:25:33.198
- That's fine.
- I like it myself. Send it right away.

00:25:33.365 --> 00:25:35.617
I came to see you
about this campaign of yours.

00:25:35.784 --> 00:25:38.578
The Inquirer's campaign against
the Public Transit Company.

00:25:38.746 --> 00:25:40.872
Do you know anything
we can use against them?

00:25:41.040 --> 00:25:42.540
Still the college boy, eh?

00:25:42.708 --> 00:25:46.711
I was expelled from college, a lot
of colleges, you remember? I remember.

00:25:46.879 --> 00:25:50.215
Charles, I think I should remind you
of a fact you have forgotten.

00:25:50.382 --> 00:25:54.135
You're one of the largest stockholders
in the Public Transit Company.

00:25:54.303 --> 00:25:57.305
The trouble is, you don't realize
you're talking to two people.

00:25:57.473 --> 00:26:00.516
As Charles Foster Kane
who owns 82,364 shares...

00:26:00.684 --> 00:26:04.395
...of Public Transit Preferred. See,
I do have a general idea of my holdings.

00:26:04.563 --> 00:26:07.023
I sympathize with you.
Kane is a scoundrel...

00:26:07.316 --> 00:26:10.360
...his paper should be closed,
a committee formed to boycott him.

00:26:10.527 --> 00:26:14.239
If you can form such a committee,
put me down for a contribution of $1000.

00:26:14.406 --> 00:26:17.158
On the other hand,
I am the publisher of the Inquirer.

00:26:17.326 --> 00:26:21.412
As such it's my duty, I'll let you in on a
little secret. It is also my pleasure...

00:26:21.580 --> 00:26:25.708
...to see that the working people of this
community aren't robbed by a pack...

00:26:25.876 --> 00:26:28.419
...of money-mad pirates, just because...

00:26:28.837 --> 00:26:32.006
...they have no one
to look after their interests.

00:26:32.424 --> 00:26:35.343
I'll let you in on another little secret,
Mr. Thatcher:

00:26:35.511 --> 00:26:39.305
I think I'm the man to do it.
You see, I have money and property.

00:26:39.473 --> 00:26:43.351
If I don't look after the interests
of the underprivileged, somebody else will.

00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:45.520
Maybe somebody
without money or property.

00:26:45.688 --> 00:26:46.896
That would be too bad.

00:26:47.064 --> 00:26:49.107
I saw your financial statement today.

00:26:49.275 --> 00:26:52.193
- Oh, did you?
- Tell me, honestly...

00:26:52.403 --> 00:26:56.614
...don't you think it's rather unwise to
continue this philanthropic enterprise...

00:26:56.782 --> 00:26:59.742
...this Inquirer, that is costing you
$1 million a year?

00:26:59.910 --> 00:27:04.664
Yes. I did lose $1 million last year.
I expect to lose $1 million this year.

00:27:04.832 --> 00:27:07.417
I expect to lose $1 million next year.

00:27:07.584 --> 00:27:10.044
At the rate of $1 million a year...

00:27:10.212 --> 00:27:14.007
...I'll have to close
this place in 60 years.

00:27:23.225 --> 00:27:25.560
"With respect to the said newspapers..."

00:27:25.728 --> 00:27:28.146
...the said Charles Foster Kane...

00:27:28.314 --> 00:27:31.858
...hereby relinquishes
all control thereof...

00:27:32.276 --> 00:27:34.986
...and of the syndicates
pertaining thereto...

00:27:35.154 --> 00:27:41.200
...and any and all other newspaper, press
and publishing properties of any kind...

00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:43.953
"...and agrees to abandon
all claim thereto..."

00:27:44.121 --> 00:27:47.415
- Which means we're bust all right.
- Well, out of cash.

00:27:47.583 --> 00:27:49.042
All right, Mr. Bernstein.

00:27:49.209 --> 00:27:53.629
I've read it, Mr. Thatcher,
just let me sign it and go home.

00:27:53.797 --> 00:27:57.091
You're too old
to call me Mr. Thatcher, Charles.

00:27:57.259 --> 00:28:00.219
You're too old to be called
anything else.

00:28:00.387 --> 00:28:02.555
You were always too old.

00:28:03.182 --> 00:28:06.809
"In consideration thereof,
Thatcher & Company agrees...

00:28:06.977 --> 00:28:09.729
...to pay to Charles Foster Kane,
as long as he lives..."

00:28:09.897 --> 00:28:11.439
My allowance.

00:28:11.607 --> 00:28:15.401
"You will continue to maintain
over your newspapers a large...

00:28:15.569 --> 00:28:20.281
...measure of control.
Measure of control."

00:28:20.783 --> 00:28:23.993
And we shall seek your advice.

00:28:26.580 --> 00:28:30.458
This depression is temporary.

00:28:31.627 --> 00:28:35.463
There's always the chance
that you'll die richer than I will.

00:28:35.672 --> 00:28:38.091
It's a cinch I'll die
richer than I was born.

00:28:38.258 --> 00:28:40.635
We never lost as much as we made.

00:28:40.803 --> 00:28:45.223
Yes, yes, but your methods.
You know, Charles...

00:28:45.391 --> 00:28:50.603
...you never made a single investment.
You always used money to...

00:28:51.313 --> 00:28:55.191
To buy things. Hmm?

00:28:56.527 --> 00:28:58.820
To buy things.

00:28:59.780 --> 00:29:03.741
My mother should have chosen
a less reliable banker.

00:29:10.582 --> 00:29:14.335
I always gagged on that silver spoon.

00:29:15.838 --> 00:29:18.339
You know, Mr. Bernstein...

00:29:20.008 --> 00:29:22.718
...if I hadn't been very rich...

00:29:23.303 --> 00:29:25.555
...I might have been a really great man.

00:29:25.722 --> 00:29:27.890
Don't you think you are?

00:29:29.893 --> 00:29:33.104
I think I did pretty well
under the circumstances.

00:29:34.940 --> 00:29:37.358
What would you like to have been?

00:29:40.154 --> 00:29:42.488
Everything you hate.

00:29:50.372 --> 00:29:54.083
- Oh...
- I beg your pardon, sir? What did you say?

00:29:54.251 --> 00:29:58.004
- It's 4:30. Isn't it, Jennings?
- Yes, ma'am.

00:29:58.172 --> 00:30:00.673
You have enjoyed a very rare privilege,
young man.

00:30:00.841 --> 00:30:03.843
- Did you find what you were looking for?
- No.

00:30:06.305 --> 00:30:08.264
- You're not Rosebud, are you?
- What?

00:30:08.432 --> 00:30:11.392
Rosebud, and your name is Jennings,
isn't it?

00:30:11.560 --> 00:30:15.980
Goodbye, everybody.
Thanks for the use of the hall.

00:30:16.732 --> 00:30:20.234
Who's a busy man, me?
I'm chairman of the board.

00:30:20.402 --> 00:30:22.737
I got nothing but time.
What do you want to know?

00:30:22.905 --> 00:30:27.033
We thought maybe... If we could
find out what he meant by his last words...

00:30:27.201 --> 00:30:29.619
...as he was dying.
That "Rosebud"?

00:30:29.786 --> 00:30:32.205
Maybe some girl?

00:30:32.372 --> 00:30:34.499
There were a lot of them
in the early days.

00:30:34.666 --> 00:30:37.793
It's hardly likely that Mr. Kane
could have met someone casually...

00:30:37.961 --> 00:30:40.129
...and then 50 years later,
on his deathbed...

00:30:40.297 --> 00:30:45.092
Well, you're pretty young, Mr. Thompson.

00:30:45.260 --> 00:30:48.846
A fellow will remember a lot of things
you wouldn't think he'd remember.

00:30:49.014 --> 00:30:50.640
You take me.

00:30:50.807 --> 00:30:55.853
One day, back in 1896, I was crossing
over to Jersey on the ferry...

00:30:56.063 --> 00:30:59.190
...and as we pulled out,
there was another ferry pulling in...

00:30:59.358 --> 00:31:02.109
...and on it there was a girl
waiting to get off.

00:31:02.945 --> 00:31:04.654
A white dress she had on.

00:31:04.821 --> 00:31:07.281
She was carrying a white parasol.

00:31:07.616 --> 00:31:10.034
I only saw her for one second.

00:31:10.202 --> 00:31:15.623
She didn't see me at all, but I'll
bet a month hasn't gone by since...

00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:19.085
...that I haven't thought of that girl.

00:31:19.586 --> 00:31:23.714
- Who else have you been to see?
- Well, I went down to Atlantic City.

00:31:23.882 --> 00:31:25.758
Susie?

00:31:25.926 --> 00:31:27.260
Thank you.

00:31:27.803 --> 00:31:30.680
I called her myself the day after he died.

00:31:31.014 --> 00:31:33.432
I thought maybe somebody ought to.

00:31:34.726 --> 00:31:38.980
- She couldn't even come to the phone.
- I'll be seeing her again in a couple of days.

00:31:39.147 --> 00:31:41.107
About Rosebud, Mr. Bernstein.

00:31:41.316 --> 00:31:44.902
If you'd talk about anything connected
with Mr. Kane that you can remember.

00:31:45.070 --> 00:31:46.904
You were with him from the beginning.

00:31:47.072 --> 00:31:52.451
From before the beginning, young fellow.
And now it's after the end.

00:31:53.495 --> 00:31:55.788
Have you tried to see anybody
except Susie?

00:31:55.956 --> 00:32:00.167
I haven't seen anybody else, but I've
been through Walter Thatcher's journal.

00:32:00.335 --> 00:32:04.755
- That man was the biggest fool I ever met.
- He made an awful lot of money.

00:32:04.923 --> 00:32:07.675
Well, it's no trick
to make a lot of money...

00:32:08.176 --> 00:32:10.386
...if all you want...

00:32:11.972 --> 00:32:14.098
...is to make a lot of money.

00:32:16.018 --> 00:32:18.060
You take Mr. Kane.

00:32:19.521 --> 00:32:21.814
It wasn't money he wanted.

00:32:23.567 --> 00:32:27.778
Thatcher never did figure him out.
Sometimes even I couldn't.

00:32:27.946 --> 00:32:31.365
You know who you ought to see?
Mr. Leland.

00:32:31.533 --> 00:32:34.535
He was Mr. Kane's closest friend.
They went to school together.

00:32:34.703 --> 00:32:35.828
Harvard?

00:32:35.996 --> 00:32:39.540
Oh, Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Cornell, Switzerland.

00:32:39.708 --> 00:32:42.335
He was thrown out of a lot of colleges.

00:32:42.544 --> 00:32:45.212
Mr. Leland never had a nickel.

00:32:45.505 --> 00:32:48.466
One of those families
where the father is worth $10 million...

00:32:48.634 --> 00:32:52.887
...then one day he shoots himself,
and it turns out there's nothing but debts.

00:32:54.556 --> 00:32:56.807
He was with Mr. Kane and me...

00:32:57.809 --> 00:33:00.728
...the first day Mr. Kane took over
the Inquirer.

00:33:08.403 --> 00:33:10.905
Take a good look at it, Jedediah.

00:33:11.156 --> 00:33:15.034
It's going to look a lot different
one of these days. Come on.

00:33:23.794 --> 00:33:27.046
There ain't no bedrooms in this joint.
That's a newspaper building.

00:33:27.214 --> 00:33:30.591
You're getting paid, mister,
for opinions or for hauling?

00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:31.801
Ugh.

00:33:34.763 --> 00:33:37.682
- Jedediah.
- After you, Mr. Kane.

00:33:49.903 --> 00:33:52.113
Excuse me, sir, but I...

00:33:55.075 --> 00:33:58.869
Welcome, Mr. Kane. Welcome.

00:33:59.538 --> 00:34:02.206
Welcome to the Inquirer, Mr. Kane.

00:34:02.374 --> 00:34:04.583
I am Herbert Carter, the editor-in-chief.

00:34:04.751 --> 00:34:08.546
- Thank you, Mr. Carter. This is Mr. Leland...
- How do you do, Mr. Leland?

00:34:08.714 --> 00:34:11.549
Our new dramatic critic.
I hope I haven't made a mistake.

00:34:11.717 --> 00:34:13.843
- It is dramatic critic, right?
- That's right.

00:34:14.010 --> 00:34:17.596
- Are they standing for me?
- You? Oh, Mr. Kane.

00:34:17.806 --> 00:34:18.889
Standing?

00:34:19.057 --> 00:34:20.599
- How do you do?
- How do you do?

00:34:20.767 --> 00:34:23.018
I thought it would be a
nice little gesture.

00:34:23.186 --> 00:34:26.313
- Ask them to sit down, will you, please.
- The new publisher.

00:34:26.857 --> 00:34:30.651
- You may resume your duties, gentlemen.
- Thank you.

00:34:30.819 --> 00:34:34.155
- I didn't know your plans.
- I don't know my plans myself.

00:34:34.489 --> 00:34:36.741
- Matter of fact, I haven't got any plans.
- No?

00:34:36.908 --> 00:34:38.284
Except to get out a newspaper.

00:34:43.373 --> 00:34:45.082
- Whoops.
- Mr. Bernstein.

00:34:45.250 --> 00:34:46.459
Yes, Mr. Kane.

00:34:46.626 --> 00:34:48.919
Mr. Carter, this is Mr. Bernstein.

00:34:49.087 --> 00:34:54.008
- Mr. Bernstein is my general manager.
- How do you do, Mr. Carter?

00:34:54.176 --> 00:34:56.010
- Mr. Carter.
- How do you do?

00:34:57.012 --> 00:34:59.305
- Yes, Mr. Bernstine.
- Stein.

00:34:59.473 --> 00:35:03.017
- Kane.
- Mr. Carter, is this your office?

00:35:03.185 --> 00:35:07.271
My little private sanctum
is at your disposal.

00:35:07.439 --> 00:35:10.816
- Excuse me.
- But I don't understand.

00:35:11.193 --> 00:35:15.196
Mr. Carter, I'm going to live right here
in your office as long as I have to.

00:35:16.323 --> 00:35:18.199
Live here? Yes?

00:35:18.366 --> 00:35:21.118
- Excuse me.
- But a morning newspaper, after all...

00:35:21.286 --> 00:35:22.369
Excuse me.

00:35:22.537 --> 00:35:26.207
We're practically closed
for 12 hours a day.

00:35:26.500 --> 00:35:29.543
That's one of the things
that's going to have to be changed here.

00:35:29.711 --> 00:35:33.214
- The news goes on for 24 hours a day.
- Twenty-four?

00:35:33.381 --> 00:35:36.675
- That's right.
- Excuse me.

00:35:36.843 --> 00:35:38.427
It's impossible...

00:35:38.595 --> 00:35:43.557
I've drawn that cartoon.
I'm no good as a cartoonist.

00:35:43.725 --> 00:35:45.226
You certainly aren't.

00:35:45.393 --> 00:35:47.102
You're the dramatic critic, Leland.

00:35:47.270 --> 00:35:49.146
- You still eating?
- I'm still hungry.

00:35:49.314 --> 00:35:51.732
Here's a front-page story
in the Chronicle...

00:35:51.900 --> 00:35:54.902
...about a Mrs. Harry Silverstone
in Brooklyn who's missing.

00:35:55.070 --> 00:35:59.615
She's probably murdered. Why isn't
there something about it in the Inquirer?

00:35:59.783 --> 00:36:01.492
We're running a newspaper...

00:36:01.660 --> 00:36:04.578
I'm absolutely starving to death.
...not a scandal sheet.

00:36:05.455 --> 00:36:06.622
That's all right.

00:36:06.790 --> 00:36:10.709
Mr. Carter, here is a three-column headline
in the Chronicle.

00:36:10.877 --> 00:36:13.295
Why hasn't the Inquirer
a three-column headline?

00:36:13.463 --> 00:36:14.880
- The news wasn't big enough.
- Mm-hm.

00:36:15.048 --> 00:36:19.677
Mr. Carter, if the headline is big enough,
it makes the news big enough.

00:36:19.845 --> 00:36:22.388
- That's right!
- The murder of Mrs. Harry Silverstone...

00:36:22.556 --> 00:36:24.640
There's no proof
that she was murdered, or dead.

00:36:24.808 --> 00:36:27.601
It says she's missing.
The neighbors are getting suspicious.

00:36:27.769 --> 00:36:30.563
It's not our function
to report the gossip of housewives.

00:36:30.730 --> 00:36:34.859
If we were interested in that kind of thing,
we could fill the paper twice over, daily.

00:36:35.026 --> 00:36:38.279
That's the kind of thing we are going to be
interested in from now on.

00:36:38.446 --> 00:36:41.365
I want you to send your best man
to see Mr. Silverstone.

00:36:41.533 --> 00:36:45.286
Have him tell Mr. Silverstone if he doesn't
produce his wife, Mrs. Silverstone...

00:36:45.453 --> 00:36:47.454
...the Inquirerwill have him arrested.
Wha...?

00:36:47.622 --> 00:36:50.040
Tell Mr. Silverstone
he's a detective from, uh...

00:36:50.208 --> 00:36:52.626
- Central Office.
- The Central Office.

00:36:52.961 --> 00:36:57.423
If Mr. Silverstone gets suspicious
and asks to see your man's badge...

00:36:57.591 --> 00:37:01.385
...your man is to get indignant
and call Mr. Silverstone an anarchist.

00:37:01.636 --> 00:37:04.805
Loudly, so the neighbors can hear.
You ready for dinner, Jedediah?

00:37:04.973 --> 00:37:08.142
I can't see that the function
of a respectable newspaper...

00:37:08.310 --> 00:37:11.437
Thank you so much, Mr. Carter.
Goodbye.

00:37:12.022 --> 00:37:13.272
Goodbye.

00:37:13.982 --> 00:37:16.817
Paper! Read all about it!

00:37:17.068 --> 00:37:19.945
Read all about it
in the early morning Chronicle.

00:37:20.113 --> 00:37:22.531
The mystery of the lady
that vanished in Brooklyn.

00:37:23.992 --> 00:37:27.661
Read all about it
in the early morning Chronicle.

00:37:40.133 --> 00:37:43.719
We'll be on the street soon,
Charlie, another 10 minutes.

00:37:43.887 --> 00:37:46.513
Three hours and 50 minutes late,
but we did it.

00:37:46.681 --> 00:37:48.182
- Tired?
- A tough day.

00:37:48.350 --> 00:37:49.892
- A wasted day.
- Wasted?

00:37:50.060 --> 00:37:52.937
You only made the paper over
four times tonight, that's all.

00:37:53.188 --> 00:37:56.565
I've changed the front page a little,
Mr. Bernstein. That's not enough.

00:37:56.733 --> 00:38:00.945
There's something I've got to get into
this paper besides pictures and print.

00:38:01.529 --> 00:38:04.573
I've got to make the New York Inquirer
as important to New York...

00:38:04.741 --> 00:38:06.617
...as the gas in that light.

00:38:07.243 --> 00:38:08.994
What are you going to do, Charlie?

00:38:09.162 --> 00:38:13.290
My Declaration of Principles.
Don't smile, Jedediah.

00:38:13.708 --> 00:38:16.210
I've got it all written out here.

00:38:16.711 --> 00:38:19.713
You don't want to make any promises
you don't want to keep.

00:38:19.881 --> 00:38:21.548
These'll be kept.

00:38:22.384 --> 00:38:24.885
"I'll provide the people of this city..."

00:38:25.220 --> 00:38:28.806
...with a daily paper
that will tell all the news honestly.

00:38:30.058 --> 00:38:33.352
- I will also provide..."
- That's two sentences starting with "I."

00:38:33.520 --> 00:38:36.021
People will know who's responsible...

00:38:36.189 --> 00:38:40.150
...and they'll get the truth in the Inquirer,
quickly, simply and entertainingly.

00:38:40.318 --> 00:38:43.570
No special interests will be allowed
to interfere with that truth.

00:38:43.738 --> 00:38:47.574
"I will also provide them with a fighting
and tireless champion of their rights...

00:38:47.742 --> 00:38:50.327
...as citizens and as human beings."

00:38:50.996 --> 00:38:52.287
Signed:

00:38:52.664 --> 00:38:55.249
"Charles Foster Kane."

00:38:57.210 --> 00:38:59.837
- Can I have that, Charlie?
- I'm going to print it.

00:39:00.005 --> 00:39:01.422
Solly!

00:39:02.424 --> 00:39:03.424
Yes, Mr. Kane?

00:39:03.591 --> 00:39:06.385
I want you to run this editorial
in a box on the front page.

00:39:06.553 --> 00:39:07.928
This morning's front page?

00:39:08.096 --> 00:39:11.098
That's right, Solly,
that means we'll have to remake again.

00:39:11.266 --> 00:39:12.975
- Yes.
- Go down and tell them.

00:39:13.143 --> 00:39:14.435
- All right.
- Solly.

00:39:14.728 --> 00:39:18.439
When you're through with that,
I'd like to have it back.

00:39:20.108 --> 00:39:23.360
I'd like to keep that particular
piece of paper myself.

00:39:23.528 --> 00:39:27.573
I have a hunch it might turn out
to be something pretty important.

00:39:27.824 --> 00:39:29.950
- A document...
- Sure.

00:39:30.118 --> 00:39:33.537
...Like the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution...

00:39:34.247 --> 00:39:36.874
...and my first report card at school.

00:40:05.153 --> 00:40:08.405
I know you're tired, gentlemen,
but I brought you here for a reason.

00:40:08.573 --> 00:40:12.159
- This little pilgrimage will do us good.
- The Chronicle's a good newspaper.

00:40:12.327 --> 00:40:15.329
Chronicle's a good idea for a newspaper.
Notice the circulation.

00:40:15.497 --> 00:40:20.292
495,000.
But look who's working for the Chronicle.

00:40:20.460 --> 00:40:23.629
- With them, it's no trick to get circulation.
- You're right.

00:40:23.838 --> 00:40:27.049
You know how long it took
the Chronicle to get that staff together?

00:40:27.217 --> 00:40:29.968
- Twenty years.
- Twenty years?

00:40:30.512 --> 00:40:35.516
Six years ago, I looked at a picture
of the world's greatest newspaper men.

00:40:35.683 --> 00:40:37.851
I felt like a kid in
front of a candy store.

00:40:38.019 --> 00:40:41.980
Tonight, six years later,
I got my candy, all of it.

00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:44.399
Welcome, gentlemen, to the Inquirer.

00:40:44.567 --> 00:40:47.402
Make an extra copy of that picture
and mail it to the Chronicle.

00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:52.533
It'll make you all happy to learn
that our circulation this morning...

00:40:52.700 --> 00:40:55.786
684,000.

00:40:56.412 --> 00:41:00.040
684,132.

00:41:00.291 --> 00:41:01.458
Right.

00:41:02.001 --> 00:41:05.629
I hope you'll forgive my rudeness
in taking leave of you.

00:41:05.797 --> 00:41:08.173
I'm going abroad next week
for a vacation.

00:41:08.341 --> 00:41:11.802
I've promised my doctor for sometime
that I would leave when I could.

00:41:11.970 --> 00:41:13.303
I now realize I can't.

00:41:14.681 --> 00:41:17.015
Say, Mr. Kane,
as long as you're promising...

00:41:17.183 --> 00:41:21.061
...there's a lot of pictures and statues
in Europe you ain't bought yet.

00:41:21.229 --> 00:41:23.147
You can't blame me, Mr. Bernstein.

00:41:23.565 --> 00:41:26.191
They've been making statues
for 2000 years.

00:41:26.359 --> 00:41:28.360
And I've only been buying for five.

00:41:28.528 --> 00:41:30.988
- Promise me, Mr. Kane.
- I promise, Mr. Bernstein.

00:41:31.156 --> 00:41:33.907
- Thank you.
- Mr. Bernstein?

00:41:34.075 --> 00:41:36.743
You don't expect me to keep
any of those promises, do you?

00:41:39.080 --> 00:41:41.123
And now, gentlemen!

00:41:41.291 --> 00:41:44.501
Your complete attention, if you please.

00:41:50.425 --> 00:41:53.510
Are we going to declare war on Spain?

00:42:01.352 --> 00:42:04.897
- Oh, mama, here they come.
- Shoot me while I'm happy.

00:42:12.697 --> 00:42:18.285
I said, "Are we going to declare
war on Spain, or are we not?"

00:42:18.453 --> 00:42:20.287
The Inquirer already has.

00:42:20.622 --> 00:42:24.458
You long-faced, overdressed anarchist.

00:42:24.667 --> 00:42:26.418
I am not overdressed.

00:42:26.586 --> 00:42:29.880
You are, too.
Mr. Bernstein, look at his necktie.

00:42:30.048 --> 00:42:31.965
Let's have the song about Charlie.

00:42:32.133 --> 00:42:35.427
- Is there a song about Charlie?
- Is there a song about you, Mr. Kane?

00:42:35.595 --> 00:42:39.890
You buy a bag of peanuts in this town,
you get a song written about you.

00:42:49.734 --> 00:42:52.069
I've seen that fellow. He's good.

00:42:52.278 --> 00:42:53.612
Good evening, Mr. Kane.

00:42:53.780 --> 00:42:55.155
There is a man There is a man

00:42:55.323 --> 00:42:56.698
A certain man A certain man

00:42:56.908 --> 00:43:00.160
And for the poor you may be sure
That he'll do all he can

00:43:00.328 --> 00:43:01.954
- Who is this one?
- Who is this one?

00:43:02.121 --> 00:43:03.789
- This favorite son
- This favorite son

00:43:03.957 --> 00:43:06.708
Just by his action
Has the traction magnates on the run

00:43:06.876 --> 00:43:08.669
- Who loves to smoke
- Who loves to smoke

00:43:08.836 --> 00:43:10.212
- Enjoys a joke
- Ha-ha-ha

00:43:10.421 --> 00:43:13.382
Who wouldn't get a bit upset
If he were really broke

00:43:13.549 --> 00:43:15.217
- With wealth and fame
- With wealth and fame

00:43:15.385 --> 00:43:16.718
He's still the same

00:43:16.886 --> 00:43:20.389
I'll bet you five you're not alive
If you don't know his name

00:43:25.895 --> 00:43:27.854
What is his name?

00:43:28.022 --> 00:43:30.190
It's Charlie Kane, it's Mister Kane!

00:43:30.358 --> 00:43:34.152
He doesn't like that Mister
He likes good old Charlie Kane

00:43:49.794 --> 00:43:52.754
- Isn't it wonderful? Such a party.
- Yes.

00:43:52.922 --> 00:43:54.673
What's the matter?

00:43:54.841 --> 00:43:58.051
Who says a miss was made to kiss

00:43:58.219 --> 00:44:01.221
And when he meets one
Always tries to do exactly this

00:44:01.389 --> 00:44:04.558
Who buys the food
Who buys the drinks

00:44:04.726 --> 00:44:07.978
Who thinks that dough was made to spend
And acts the way he thinks

00:44:08.146 --> 00:44:10.856
Now is it, Joe, no, no, no

00:44:11.566 --> 00:44:14.192
Bernstein, these men
who are now with the Inquirer...

00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:16.987
...who were with the Chronicle
until yesterday...

00:44:17.155 --> 00:44:18.572
Oh, mama, please.

00:44:18.740 --> 00:44:20.449
- Give me that.
- What? The blond?

00:44:20.616 --> 00:44:24.077
- No, the brunette.
- Where did you learn that, Charlie?

00:44:25.371 --> 00:44:28.498
Bernstein, these men
who were with the Chronicle...

00:44:28.666 --> 00:44:31.668
...weren't they just as devoted
to the Chronicle policy...

00:44:31.836 --> 00:44:34.004
...as they are now to our policies?

00:44:34.172 --> 00:44:36.882
Sure, they're just like anybody else.

00:44:37.091 --> 00:44:39.176
They got work to do, they do it.

00:44:39.469 --> 00:44:42.429
Only they happen to be the best men
in the business.

00:44:50.772 --> 00:44:55.108
Do we stand for the same things
the Chronicle stands for?

00:44:55.276 --> 00:44:57.069
Certainly not.

00:44:58.071 --> 00:45:03.116
Listen, Mr. Kane, he'll have them changed
to his kind of newspapermen in a week.

00:45:03.284 --> 00:45:07.621
There's always a chance, of course,
that they'll change Mr. Kane.

00:45:07.789 --> 00:45:09.164
Without his knowing it.

00:45:12.668 --> 00:45:16.254
Mr. Leland, I got a cable from Mr. Kane!

00:45:17.298 --> 00:45:21.301
- Mr. Leland! I got a cable from Mr. Kane.
- What?

00:45:21.469 --> 00:45:23.345
- From Paris, France.
- What?

00:45:23.513 --> 00:45:26.473
- From Paris, France.
- Come on in.

00:45:27.392 --> 00:45:32.312
Who by his action
Has the traction magnates on the run

00:45:32.647 --> 00:45:37.692
It's a good thing he promised
not to send back any more statues.

00:45:37.860 --> 00:45:38.944
Bernstein, Bernstein.

00:45:39.112 --> 00:45:41.780
Look, he wants to buy
the world's biggest diamond.

00:45:41.948 --> 00:45:45.409
Why didn't you go to Europe with him?
He wanted you to.

00:45:45.576 --> 00:45:48.078
I wanted Charlie to have fun,
with me along...

00:45:48.246 --> 00:45:50.372
Bernstein, am I a stuffed shirt?

00:45:50.540 --> 00:45:55.419
Am I a horse-faced hypocrite?
Am I a New England schoolmarm?

00:45:56.170 --> 00:45:57.504
Yes.

00:45:58.756 --> 00:46:03.260
If you thought I'd answer you different
from what Mr. Kane tells you, I wouldn't.

00:46:03.428 --> 00:46:04.761
"World's biggest diamond."

00:46:04.929 --> 00:46:07.013
I didn't know Charlie
was collecting diamonds.

00:46:07.181 --> 00:46:08.348
He ain't.

00:46:08.516 --> 00:46:12.144
He's collecting somebody
that's collecting diamonds.

00:46:12.603 --> 00:46:15.689
Anyway, he ain't only collecting statues.

00:46:17.775 --> 00:46:19.818
"Welcome home, Mr. Kane...

00:46:19.986 --> 00:46:23.655
...from 467 employees
of the New York Inquirer."

00:46:23.823 --> 00:46:25.323
Here he comes!

00:46:29.370 --> 00:46:31.163
Welcome, Mr. Kane.

00:46:31.956 --> 00:46:33.707
- I know I've a mustache.
- It looks awful.

00:46:33.875 --> 00:46:37.377
Have we got a society editor?

00:46:37.545 --> 00:46:40.380
- Right here, Mr. Kane.
- Miss Townsend is the society editor.

00:46:40.548 --> 00:46:43.216
Miss Townsend,
this is Mr. Charles Foster Kane.

00:46:43.426 --> 00:46:48.555
Uh... Miss Townsend, I've been away
so long. I don't know your routine.

00:46:49.682 --> 00:46:52.726
I got a little social announcement.

00:46:52.894 --> 00:46:56.897
I wish you wouldn't treat it
any differently than you would any other...

00:46:57.064 --> 00:46:58.732
...social announcement.

00:46:59.358 --> 00:47:02.360
Mr. Kane, on behalf of all the employees
of the Inquirer...

00:47:02.528 --> 00:47:06.031
Mr. Bernstein,
thank you very much, everybody, I...

00:47:06.908 --> 00:47:11.036
I'm sorry, I can't accept it now.

00:47:11.204 --> 00:47:12.662
Goodbye.

00:47:13.331 --> 00:47:15.540
Say, he was in an awful hurry.

00:47:15.708 --> 00:47:18.585
Hey, everybody, look out here.

00:47:18.753 --> 00:47:20.712
Let's go to the window.

00:47:20.922 --> 00:47:23.757
- Mr. Leland! Mr. Bernstein!
- Yes, Ms. Townsend?

00:47:23.925 --> 00:47:26.718
"Mr. And Mrs. Thomas Monroe Norton..."

00:47:26.886 --> 00:47:30.347
...announce the engagement
of their daughter, Emily Monroe Norton...

00:47:30.515 --> 00:47:32.182
...to Mr. Charles Foster Kane."
Huh?

00:47:32.350 --> 00:47:33.850
Come on.

00:47:36.020 --> 00:47:41.066
Emily Monroe Norton, she's the niece
of the President of the United States.

00:47:41.234 --> 00:47:43.318
President's niece?

00:47:43.528 --> 00:47:46.071
Before he's through,
she'll be a president's wife.

00:47:54.956 --> 00:47:58.291
The way things turned out,
I don't need to tell you.

00:47:58.459 --> 00:48:01.211
Miss Emily Norton was no rosebud.

00:48:01.379 --> 00:48:03.630
It didn't end very well, did it?

00:48:03.798 --> 00:48:05.423
It ended.

00:48:06.217 --> 00:48:10.011
Then there was Susie. That ended too.

00:48:12.056 --> 00:48:14.975
You know, Mr. Thompson,
I was thinking...

00:48:15.476 --> 00:48:18.436
...this Rosebud
you're trying to find out about...

00:48:19.647 --> 00:48:20.981
Yes?

00:48:25.403 --> 00:48:27.821
Maybe that was something he lost.

00:48:28.656 --> 00:48:31.992
Mr. Kane was a man who lost
almost everything he had.

00:48:32.660 --> 00:48:34.869
You ought to see Jed Leland.

00:48:35.037 --> 00:48:38.164
Of course, he and Mr. Kane
didn't exactly see eye to eye.

00:48:38.332 --> 00:48:40.208
You take the Spanish-American war.

00:48:40.376 --> 00:48:43.670
I guess Mr. Leland was right.
That was Mr. Kane's war.

00:48:43.838 --> 00:48:46.798
We didn't really have anything
to fight about.

00:48:47.550 --> 00:48:51.177
Do you think if it hadn't been for that war
of Mr. Kane's...

00:48:51.470 --> 00:48:54.222
...we'd have the Panama Canal?

00:48:54.849 --> 00:48:57.350
I wish I knew where Mr. Leland was.

00:48:57.977 --> 00:49:01.146
A lot of the time now
they don't tell me these things.

00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:04.232
Maybe even he's dead.

00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:06.026
In case you'd like to know...

00:49:06.193 --> 00:49:09.070
...he's at the Huntington Memorial Hospital
on 180th Street.

00:49:09.238 --> 00:49:10.655
You don't say. I had...

00:49:10.823 --> 00:49:13.617
Nothing particular the matter with him,
they tell me, just...

00:49:13.784 --> 00:49:16.369
Just old age.

00:49:17.663 --> 00:49:22.542
It's the only disease that you don't
look forward to being cured of.

00:49:34.680 --> 00:49:37.474
I can remember absolutely everything,
young man.

00:49:37.642 --> 00:49:38.850
That's my curse.

00:49:39.018 --> 00:49:43.563
That's one of the greatest curses
Memory.

00:49:44.523 --> 00:49:49.361
I was his oldest friend, and as far as
I was concerned, he behaved like a swine.

00:49:49.570 --> 00:49:53.698
Not that Charlie was ever brutal.
He just did brutal things.

00:49:54.450 --> 00:49:58.745
Maybe I wasn't his friend,
but if I wasn't, he never had one.

00:49:58.996 --> 00:50:02.540
Maybe I was what you nowadays
call a stooge.

00:50:02.708 --> 00:50:04.959
You were about to say
something about Rosebud.

00:50:05.127 --> 00:50:07.253
Do you happen to have a good cigar?

00:50:07.421 --> 00:50:11.216
I've got a young physician here
who thinks I'm going to give up smoking.

00:50:11.384 --> 00:50:13.802
- No, I'm afraid I haven't. Sorry.
- Oh, oh. Ha, ha.

00:50:13.969 --> 00:50:15.595
I changed the subject, didn't I?

00:50:15.763 --> 00:50:17.889
What a disagreeable old man
I have become.

00:50:19.266 --> 00:50:24.437
You're a reporter and you want to know
what I think about Charlie Kane.

00:50:24.939 --> 00:50:27.273
Well... Heh.

00:50:27.441 --> 00:50:29.901
I suppose he had some private sort
of greatness.

00:50:30.069 --> 00:50:31.695
But he kept it to himself.

00:50:31.862 --> 00:50:34.739
He never gave himself away.
He never gave anything away.

00:50:34.907 --> 00:50:37.867
He just left you a tip.

00:50:38.035 --> 00:50:40.662
Hmm? Heh. He had a generous mind.

00:50:40.830 --> 00:50:43.998
I don't suppose anybody
ever had so many opinions.

00:50:44.291 --> 00:50:46.960
But he never believed in anything
except Charlie Kane.

00:50:47.128 --> 00:50:50.714
He never had a conviction
except Charlie Kane in his life.

00:50:50.965 --> 00:50:53.174
I suppose he died without one.

00:50:53.342 --> 00:50:55.969
That must have been pretty unpleasant.

00:50:56.303 --> 00:51:00.890
Of course, a lot of us check out without
having any special convictions about death.

00:51:01.058 --> 00:51:04.310
But we do know what we're leaving.
We do believe in something.

00:51:04.979 --> 00:51:07.981
Are you absolutely sure
you haven't got a cigar?

00:51:08.149 --> 00:51:10.108
- Sorry, Mr. Leland.
- Never mind.

00:51:10.276 --> 00:51:13.653
- What do you know about Rosebud?
- "Rosebud"?

00:51:13.821 --> 00:51:18.074
"Rosebud."

00:51:18.409 --> 00:51:20.493
I saw that in the Inquirer.

00:51:21.495 --> 00:51:24.456
I never believed anything
I saw in the Inquirer.

00:51:24.623 --> 00:51:25.957
Anything else?

00:51:26.125 --> 00:51:29.794
I can tell you about Emily.
I went to dancing school with Emily.

00:51:30.171 --> 00:51:31.963
I was very graceful.

00:51:32.923 --> 00:51:36.217
- We were talking about the first Mrs. Kane.
- What was she like?

00:51:36.385 --> 00:51:38.845
She was like all the girls I knew
in dancing school.

00:51:39.013 --> 00:51:41.723
Very nice girl. Emily was a little nicer.

00:51:43.476 --> 00:51:45.477
After the first couple of months...

00:51:45.644 --> 00:51:49.898
...she and Charlie didn't see much
of each other except at breakfast.

00:51:50.566 --> 00:51:53.234
It was a marriage
just like any other marriage.

00:52:03.454 --> 00:52:05.079
- You're beautiful.
- I can't be.

00:52:05.247 --> 00:52:06.915
Yes, you are. You're very beautiful.

00:52:07.082 --> 00:52:09.626
I've never been to six parties
in one night before.

00:52:09.877 --> 00:52:12.545
- I've never been up this late.
- It's a matter of habit.

00:52:12.713 --> 00:52:15.590
- What will the servants think?
- That we enjoyed ourselves.

00:52:15.758 --> 00:52:18.218
Why do you have to go straight off
to the newspaper?

00:52:18.385 --> 00:52:22.055
You never should've married a
newspaperman, they're worse than sailors.

00:52:22.973 --> 00:52:24.891
I absolutely adore you.

00:52:25.726 --> 00:52:28.645
Charles, even newspapermen
have to sleep.

00:52:30.105 --> 00:52:33.942
I'll call Mr. Bernstein and have him
put off my appointments till noon.

00:52:34.902 --> 00:52:36.402
What time is it?

00:52:36.570 --> 00:52:38.530
I don't know. It's late.

00:52:40.616 --> 00:52:42.575
It's early.

00:52:42.743 --> 00:52:44.410
Charles...

00:52:44.995 --> 00:52:47.914
Do you know how long
you kept me waiting last night...

00:52:48.082 --> 00:52:50.875
...when you went to the newspaper
for 10 minutes?

00:52:51.085 --> 00:52:54.254
What do you do in a newspaper
in the middle of the night?

00:52:54.421 --> 00:52:59.384
My dear, your only correspondent
is the Inquirer.

00:52:59.552 --> 00:53:02.262
Sometimes I think I'd prefer a rival
of flesh and blood.

00:53:02.429 --> 00:53:04.889
I don't spend that much time
on the newspaper.

00:53:05.057 --> 00:53:09.060
It isn't just the time.
It's what you print, attacking the president.

00:53:09.228 --> 00:53:12.355
- You mean Uncle John.
- I mean the president of the United States.

00:53:12.523 --> 00:53:14.899
He's still Uncle John
and a well-meaning fathead...

00:53:15.067 --> 00:53:18.361
...who's letting a pack of high-pressure
crooks run his administration.

00:53:18.529 --> 00:53:22.240
- This whole oil scandal...
- He happens to be the president, not you.

00:53:22.408 --> 00:53:25.118
That's a mistake that will be corrected
one of these days.

00:53:25.286 --> 00:53:31.207
Your Mr. Bernstein sent Junior
the most incredible atrocity yesterday.

00:53:31.375 --> 00:53:34.210
I simply can't have it in the nursery.

00:53:36.297 --> 00:53:39.257
Mr. Bernstein is apt to pay a visit
to the nursery now and then.

00:53:39.425 --> 00:53:40.925
Does he have to?

00:53:42.303 --> 00:53:43.344
Yes.

00:53:43.512 --> 00:53:48.308
- Really, Charles, people will think...
- What I tell them to think.

00:54:06.744 --> 00:54:08.786
Wasn't he ever in love with her?

00:54:08.954 --> 00:54:10.705
He married for love.

00:54:11.624 --> 00:54:12.999
Love.

00:54:13.667 --> 00:54:15.335
That is why he did everything.

00:54:15.502 --> 00:54:18.338
That's why he went into politics.
It seems we weren't enough.

00:54:18.505 --> 00:54:21.549
He wanted all the voters to love him too.

00:54:22.217 --> 00:54:25.219
All he wanted out of life was love.

00:54:25.554 --> 00:54:28.806
That's Charlie's story. How he lost it.

00:54:29.016 --> 00:54:32.685
You see, he just didn't have any to give.

00:54:33.187 --> 00:54:35.396
He loved Charlie Kane, of course.

00:54:36.774 --> 00:54:38.024
Very dearly.

00:54:38.734 --> 00:54:40.902
And his mother,
I guess he always loved her.

00:54:41.070 --> 00:54:44.113
- How about his second wife?
- Susan Alexander?

00:54:44.865 --> 00:54:47.033
You know what Charlie called her?

00:54:47.242 --> 00:54:50.036
The day after he'd met her,
he told me about her.

00:54:50.204 --> 00:54:54.958
He said she was
"a cross-section of the American public."

00:54:57.336 --> 00:55:00.922
I guess he couldn't help it.
She must have had something for him.

00:55:01.090 --> 00:55:03.883
That first night, according to Charlie...

00:55:04.927 --> 00:55:07.595
...all she had was a toothache.

00:55:38.502 --> 00:55:40.878
What are you laughing at, young lady?

00:55:41.380 --> 00:55:42.588
Ooh.

00:55:42.756 --> 00:55:45.425
- What's the matter with you?
- Toothache.

00:55:45.592 --> 00:55:47.260
- What?
- Toothache.

00:55:47.428 --> 00:55:48.761
Toothache?

00:55:50.097 --> 00:55:52.015
Oh. Oh.

00:55:52.182 --> 00:55:53.474
You mean you've got a toothache.

00:55:55.102 --> 00:55:57.937
- What's funny about that?
- You're funny, mister.

00:55:58.105 --> 00:56:00.606
- You've got dirt on your face.
- Not dirt, it's mud.

00:56:00.774 --> 00:56:02.984
Do you want some hot water?
I live right here.

00:56:03.152 --> 00:56:05.111
What's that, young lady?

00:56:06.363 --> 00:56:08.781
I said, if you wanted some hot water...

00:56:09.116 --> 00:56:11.117
...I could get you some...

00:56:12.119 --> 00:56:13.745
...hot water.

00:56:16.874 --> 00:56:19.167
All right, thank you very much.

00:56:33.515 --> 00:56:35.433
Do I look any better now?

00:56:35.601 --> 00:56:40.313
- This medicine doesn't do a bit of good.
- What you need is to get your mind off it.

00:56:40.606 --> 00:56:42.023
Hey.

00:56:45.486 --> 00:56:48.613
Excuse me, but my landlady
prefers me to keep this door open...

00:56:48.822 --> 00:56:51.282
...when I have a gentleman caller.
All right.

00:56:51.450 --> 00:56:53.951
- Oh.
- You have got a toothache, haven't you?

00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:57.080
- I surely have.
- Why don't you try laughing at me again?

00:56:57.247 --> 00:56:59.123
- What?
- I'm still pretty funny.

00:56:59.291 --> 00:57:01.793
I know, but you don't want me
to laugh at you.

00:57:01.960 --> 00:57:03.920
- I don't want your tooth to hurt, either.
- Ooh.

00:57:04.088 --> 00:57:05.338
Look at me.

00:57:05.798 --> 00:57:07.924
- See that?
- What are you doing?

00:57:08.092 --> 00:57:10.885
I'm wiggling both my ears
at the same time.

00:57:13.055 --> 00:57:14.263
That's it, smile.

00:57:17.518 --> 00:57:21.312
It took me two solid years at the best
boys' school in the world to learn that.

00:57:21.480 --> 00:57:24.315
The fellow who taught me
is now president of Venezuela.

00:57:26.568 --> 00:57:27.735
That's it!

00:57:31.824 --> 00:57:34.450
- Is it a giraffe?
- No, not a giraffe.

00:57:34.618 --> 00:57:37.328
- I bet it is.
- What?

00:57:37.496 --> 00:57:39.580
Well, then it's an elephant.

00:57:39.748 --> 00:57:43.709
- It's supposed to be a rooster.
- A rooster!

00:57:43.877 --> 00:57:47.755
You know an awful lot of tricks.
Are you a professional magician?

00:57:47.923 --> 00:57:50.424
- No, I'm not a magician.
- I was just joking.

00:57:50.592 --> 00:57:52.176
You really don't know who I am?

00:57:52.344 --> 00:57:55.346
You told me your name, Mr. Kane,
but I'm awfully ignorant.

00:57:55.514 --> 00:57:59.976
I guess you caught on to that.
I bet I've heard your name a million times.

00:58:00.144 --> 00:58:03.187
You really like me though,
even though you don't know who I am?

00:58:03.355 --> 00:58:06.774
I surely do. You've been wonderful.

00:58:07.860 --> 00:58:10.528
Without you I don't know
what I would have done.

00:58:10.696 --> 00:58:13.990
I had a toothache,
and I don't know many people.

00:58:14.283 --> 00:58:16.200
I know too many people.

00:58:16.618 --> 00:58:18.661
I guess we're both lonely.

00:58:18.954 --> 00:58:22.874
Want to know what I was going to do
before I ruined my best Sunday clothes?

00:58:23.041 --> 00:58:26.210
I bet they're not your best Sunday clothes.
You probably have more.

00:58:26.378 --> 00:58:27.545
I was just joking.

00:58:29.256 --> 00:58:33.134
I was on my way
to the Western Manhattan Warehouse...

00:58:33.302 --> 00:58:35.303
...in search of my youth.

00:58:36.388 --> 00:58:40.933
You see, my mother died a long time ago.
Her things were put in storage out West.

00:58:41.101 --> 00:58:43.477
There wasn't any other place
to put them.

00:58:43.645 --> 00:58:47.607
I thought I'd send for them now.
Tonight I was going to take a look at them.

00:58:47.774 --> 00:58:49.525
A sort of sentimental journey.

00:58:53.572 --> 00:58:55.698
I run a couple of newspapers.
What do you do?

00:58:55.866 --> 00:58:57.200
- Me?
- Mm-hm.

00:58:57.367 --> 00:58:59.452
- How old did you say you were?
- I didn't say.

00:58:59.620 --> 00:59:02.205
If you had, I wouldn't have asked you.

00:59:02.372 --> 00:59:03.539
- How old?
- Pretty old.

00:59:03.707 --> 00:59:05.708
- How old?
- Twenty-two in August.

00:59:05.876 --> 00:59:07.793
That's a ripe old age. What do you do?

00:59:07.961 --> 00:59:11.422
I work at Seligman's.
I'm in charge of the sheet music.

00:59:11.673 --> 00:59:16.802
- Is that what you want to do?
- No, I wanted to be a singer, I guess.

00:59:16.970 --> 00:59:20.556
- That is, I didn't. My mother did for me.
- What happened to the singing?

00:59:20.724 --> 00:59:24.644
Mother always thought... She always talked
about grand opera for me.

00:59:24.811 --> 00:59:26.020
Imagine.

00:59:26.313 --> 00:59:30.524
But my voice isn't that kind.
It's just, you know what mothers are like.

00:59:32.319 --> 00:59:33.527
Yes, I know.

00:59:35.572 --> 00:59:37.782
- Have you got a piano?
- A piano?

00:59:37.950 --> 00:59:40.952
- Mm-hm.
- Yes, there's one in the parlor.

00:59:41.119 --> 00:59:44.205
- Would you sing for me?
- You wouldn't want to hear me sing.

00:59:44.373 --> 00:59:45.748
Yes, I would.

00:59:47.668 --> 00:59:49.710
Don't tell me
your toothache is bothering you.

00:59:49.878 --> 00:59:51.587
No, that's all gone.

00:59:53.340 --> 00:59:55.299
All right.

00:59:56.260 --> 00:59:57.969
Let's go to the parlor.

00:59:58.512 --> 01:00:05.142
Yes, Lindor shall be mine

01:00:05.310 --> 01:00:09.438
I have sworn it

01:00:09.606 --> 01:00:14.568
For weal or woe

01:00:14.736 --> 01:00:21.742
Yes, Lindor

01:00:40.804 --> 01:00:43.222
There is only one man
who can rid the politics...

01:00:43.390 --> 01:00:46.559
...of this state of the evil domination
of Boss Jim Gettys.

01:00:46.727 --> 01:00:50.563
I am speaking of Charles Foster Kane,
the fighting liberal...

01:00:50.731 --> 01:00:54.191
...the friend of the workingman,
the next governor of this state...

01:00:54.359 --> 01:00:56.569
...who entered upon this campaign...

01:00:58.739 --> 01:01:03.075
To point out
and make public the dishonesty...

01:01:03.285 --> 01:01:08.080
...the downright villainy
of Boss Jim W. Gettys' political machine...

01:01:08.415 --> 01:01:12.752
...now in complete control
of the government of this state.

01:01:13.170 --> 01:01:16.922
I made no campaign promises...

01:01:17.424 --> 01:01:22.219
...because, until a few weeks ago,
I had no hope of being elected.

01:01:23.722 --> 01:01:27.308
Now, however, I have something more
than a hope.

01:01:29.353 --> 01:01:33.856
Jim Gettys has something less
than a chance.

01:01:38.070 --> 01:01:39.945
Every straw vote...

01:01:40.113 --> 01:01:44.950
...every independent poll shows
that I will be elected.

01:01:45.410 --> 01:01:47.119
Very well.

01:01:47.287 --> 01:01:49.955
Now I can afford to make some promises.

01:01:58.840 --> 01:02:03.928
The workingman and the slum child...

01:02:04.096 --> 01:02:07.640
...know they can expect
my best efforts in their interests.

01:02:07.808 --> 01:02:12.311
The decent, ordinary citizens know
that I'll do everything in my power...

01:02:12.479 --> 01:02:17.650
...to protect the underprivileged,
the underpaid, and the underfed.

01:02:21.571 --> 01:02:25.950
- Mother, is Pop governor yet?
- Not yet, Junior.

01:02:29.830 --> 01:02:33.165
I'd make my promises now...

01:02:33.500 --> 01:02:36.961
...if I weren't too busy
arranging to keep them.

01:02:41.508 --> 01:02:44.510
But here's one promise I'll make...

01:02:44.678 --> 01:02:48.097
...and Boss Jim Gettys knows I'll keep it.

01:02:48.974 --> 01:02:51.809
My first official act
as governor of this state...

01:02:52.185 --> 01:02:57.064
...will be to appoint a special district
attorney to arrange for the indictment...

01:02:57.315 --> 01:03:02.611
...prosecution and conviction
of Boss Jim W. Gettys.

01:03:29.222 --> 01:03:32.391
If the election were held today,
you'd be in by 100,000 votes.

01:03:32.559 --> 01:03:34.268
- Gettys isn't even pretending.
- Pop.

01:03:34.436 --> 01:03:36.562
- Hello, son.
- He isn't just scared, he's sick.

01:03:36.730 --> 01:03:39.440
It's beginning to dawn on Jim Gettys
I mean what I say.

01:03:39.608 --> 01:03:42.902
- Did you like your old man's speech?
- I could hear every word.

01:03:43.069 --> 01:03:44.862
- Hello, Emily.
- Hold it.

01:03:45.238 --> 01:03:47.448
- Great speech, Mr. Kane.
- Wonderful.

01:03:47.616 --> 01:03:51.327
- Will you get us a taxi?
- A taxi? Why? I thought...

01:03:51.703 --> 01:03:54.830
I'm sending Junior home
in the car with Oliver.

01:03:54.998 --> 01:03:56.499
Good night, Father.

01:03:57.918 --> 01:03:59.418
Goodbye, son.

01:04:05.217 --> 01:04:06.634
Emily...

01:04:10.472 --> 01:04:13.724
Why did you send Junior home in the car?
What are you doing in a taxi?

01:04:13.892 --> 01:04:15.851
There's a call I want you to make
with me.

01:04:16.019 --> 01:04:17.937
- It can wait.
- No, it can't.

01:04:18.104 --> 01:04:21.273
- What's this all about, Emily?
- It may not be about anything at all.

01:04:21.441 --> 01:04:22.983
I intend to find out.

01:04:23.151 --> 01:04:27.446
- Where are you going?
- I'm going to "185 West 74th Street."

01:04:28.865 --> 01:04:31.200
If you wish, you may come with me.

01:04:35.914 --> 01:04:37.623
I'll come with you.

01:04:42.629 --> 01:04:46.298
I had no idea you had this flair
for melodrama, Emily.

01:04:47.634 --> 01:04:49.843
Come right in, Mr. Kane.

01:05:00.188 --> 01:05:01.814
Charlie.

01:05:08.363 --> 01:05:11.532
He forced me to send your wife that letter.
I didn't want to.

01:05:11.700 --> 01:05:14.493
He's been saying the most terrible...

01:05:18.498 --> 01:05:20.207
Mrs. Kane.

01:05:22.210 --> 01:05:24.712
I don't suppose
anybody would introduce us.

01:05:26.172 --> 01:05:27.756
I'm Jim Gettys.

01:05:28.341 --> 01:05:29.508
Yes?

01:05:32.762 --> 01:05:36.432
I made Miss Alexander send you the note,
Mrs. Kane.

01:05:36.600 --> 01:05:38.684
She didn't want to at first.
But she did it.

01:05:38.852 --> 01:05:40.185
Charlie, the things he said to me.

01:05:40.353 --> 01:05:42.646
- He threatened to...
- Gettys.

01:05:42.856 --> 01:05:46.650
I won't wait until I'm elected.
To start with, I think I'll break your neck.

01:05:46.818 --> 01:05:49.445
Maybe you can do it,
and maybe you can't.

01:05:49.613 --> 01:05:54.742
Charles, your breaking this man's neck
would scarcely explain this note:

01:05:55.702 --> 01:05:59.496
"Serious consequences for Mr. Kane,
for yourself and for your son."

01:05:59.664 --> 01:06:02.583
- He wanted to get her to come here...
- What does this note mean?

01:06:02.751 --> 01:06:05.252
I'm Susan Alexander.
I know what you think...

01:06:05.420 --> 01:06:08.172
- What does this note mean, Ms. Alexander?
- She don't know.

01:06:08.340 --> 01:06:11.050
She sent it because I told her
it wouldn't be smart not to.

01:06:11.217 --> 01:06:14.511
- Emily, this gentleman...
- I'm not a gentleman.

01:06:14.721 --> 01:06:17.556
Your husband is only trying to be funny
calling me one.

01:06:17.724 --> 01:06:20.267
I don't even know what a gentleman is.

01:06:21.311 --> 01:06:24.563
You see, my idea of a gentleman... Heh.

01:06:27.734 --> 01:06:31.111
If I owned a paper and didn't like
the way somebody was doing things...

01:06:31.279 --> 01:06:33.614
...some politician,
I'd fight him with all I had.

01:06:33.782 --> 01:06:35.532
I wouldn't show him in a convict suit...

01:06:35.700 --> 01:06:37.951
...so his children could see
his picture in the paper.

01:06:38.119 --> 01:06:42.039
- You're a cheap, crooked grafter...
- We're talking now about what you are.

01:06:42.957 --> 01:06:45.751
I'm fighting for my life,
not just my political life.

01:06:45.919 --> 01:06:48.003
- He said unless you...
- That's what I said.

01:06:48.171 --> 01:06:52.091
Here's the chance I'm willing to give him.
It's more of a chance than he'd give me.

01:06:52.258 --> 01:06:56.929
Unless he decides by tomorrow that he's
so sick he has to go away for a year...

01:06:57.097 --> 01:07:01.266
...Monday morning, all papers in the state,
except his, will carry the story I'll give.

01:07:01.434 --> 01:07:02.810
What story?

01:07:03.603 --> 01:07:06.730
- The story about him and Ms. Alexander.
- There isn't any story!

01:07:06.898 --> 01:07:08.107
Shut up.

01:07:08.441 --> 01:07:11.193
We've got evidence that would look bad
in the headlines.

01:07:11.361 --> 01:07:13.987
Do you want me
to give you the evidence?

01:07:16.116 --> 01:07:18.867
I'd rather he withdrew
without having the story published.

01:07:19.035 --> 01:07:22.079
Not that I care about him,
but I'd be better off that way.

01:07:24.999 --> 01:07:27.126
So would you, Mrs. Kane.

01:07:27.502 --> 01:07:29.586
What about me?

01:07:31.589 --> 01:07:35.342
He said my name would be dragged
through the mud. That everywhere I went...

01:07:35.510 --> 01:07:38.721
There seems to be only one decision
you can make, Charles.

01:07:38.888 --> 01:07:41.140
I'd say that it'd been made for you.

01:07:42.809 --> 01:07:44.893
You can't tell me the voters
of this state...

01:07:45.145 --> 01:07:47.855
I'm not interested in the voters
of this state right now.

01:07:48.022 --> 01:07:49.398
I am interested in our son.

01:07:49.566 --> 01:07:52.693
- Charlie, if they publish this story...
- They won't.

01:07:53.987 --> 01:07:56.155
Good night, Mr. Gettys.

01:08:05.623 --> 01:08:07.166
Are you coming, Charles?

01:08:09.377 --> 01:08:10.711
No.

01:08:14.132 --> 01:08:15.758
I'm staying here.

01:08:18.887 --> 01:08:21.013
I can fight this all alone.

01:08:22.223 --> 01:08:24.683
If you don't listen to reason,
it may be too late.

01:08:24.851 --> 01:08:26.518
Too late?

01:08:28.146 --> 01:08:29.813
For what?

01:08:30.857 --> 01:08:34.151
For you and this public thief...

01:08:34.486 --> 01:08:36.737
...to take the love of the people
away from me?

01:08:36.905 --> 01:08:39.615
You got other things to think about.
Your little boy.

01:08:39.783 --> 01:08:42.201
You don't want him to read about you
in the papers.

01:08:42.368 --> 01:08:46.872
There's only one person in the world
to decide what I'll do. And that's me.

01:08:49.709 --> 01:08:53.712
You decided what you were going to do,
Charles, some time ago.

01:09:00.512 --> 01:09:03.096
You're making a bigger fool of yourself
than I thought.

01:09:03.264 --> 01:09:05.557
- I've got nothing to say to you.
- You're licked...

01:09:05.725 --> 01:09:09.061
Get out. If you want to see me,
have the warden write me a letter.

01:09:09.312 --> 01:09:13.982
If it was anybody else, I'd say what's going
to happen to you would be a lesson to you.

01:09:14.234 --> 01:09:16.944
Only you're going to need
more than one lesson.

01:09:17.779 --> 01:09:21.824
- And you'll get more than one lesson.
- Don't worry about me, Gettys.

01:09:23.493 --> 01:09:25.577
Don't worry about me!

01:09:26.454 --> 01:09:29.081
I'm Charles Foster Kane!

01:09:29.624 --> 01:09:33.836
I'm no cheap, crooked politician
trying to save himself...

01:09:34.003 --> 01:09:37.005
...from the consequences of his crimes!

01:09:38.049 --> 01:09:42.094
Gettys! I'm gonna send you to Sing Sing.

01:09:42.262 --> 01:09:46.306
Sing Sing, Gettys. Sing Sing!

01:09:47.600 --> 01:09:50.686
- Have you a car, Mrs. Kane?
- Yes, thank you.

01:09:51.229 --> 01:09:53.981
- Good night.
- Good night.

01:10:04.784 --> 01:10:08.787
Paper. Read all about it. Extra, extra.

01:10:13.293 --> 01:10:15.377
- Paper?
- No, thanks.

01:10:30.268 --> 01:10:33.103
With a million majority
already against him...

01:10:33.354 --> 01:10:36.690
...and the church counties
still to be heard from...

01:10:36.900 --> 01:10:39.276
...I'm afraid we got no choice.

01:10:39.444 --> 01:10:40.819
This one?

01:10:44.282 --> 01:10:46.033
That one.

01:11:09.349 --> 01:11:11.183
Good night again.

01:11:22.362 --> 01:11:26.406
- Is there anything I can...?
- No, thanks, Mr. Bernstein.

01:11:27.492 --> 01:11:29.785
You better go home and get some sleep.

01:11:30.870 --> 01:11:32.371
You too.

01:11:33.247 --> 01:11:34.581
Uh-huh.

01:11:34.749 --> 01:11:36.833
Good night, Mr. Kane.

01:12:01.693 --> 01:12:04.569
- Hello, Jedediah.
- I'm drunk.

01:12:07.490 --> 01:12:13.537
If you've got drunk to talk to me about...

01:12:15.581 --> 01:12:18.125
...Ms. Alexander, don't bother.

01:12:19.961 --> 01:12:21.753
I'm not interested.

01:12:25.967 --> 01:12:30.137
I've set back the sacred cause of reform,
is that it?

01:12:31.305 --> 01:12:32.723
All right.

01:12:34.475 --> 01:12:37.728
If that's the way they want it,
the people have made their choice.

01:12:37.895 --> 01:12:40.689
It's obvious the people
prefer Jim Gettys to me.

01:12:40.857 --> 01:12:44.359
You talk about the people
as though you owned them.

01:12:44.527 --> 01:12:47.320
As though they belong to you.
Goodness.

01:12:47.488 --> 01:12:52.325
As long as I can remember, you've talked
about giving the people their rights...

01:12:52.493 --> 01:12:55.704
...as if you could make them
a present of liberty...

01:12:55.872 --> 01:12:58.331
...as a reward for services rendered.

01:12:58.499 --> 01:13:01.293
- Jed.
- You remember the workingman?

01:13:01.461 --> 01:13:04.296
I'll get drunk too, Jedediah...

01:13:05.757 --> 01:13:06.965
...if it'll do any good.

01:13:07.133 --> 01:13:10.469
It won't do any good.
Besides you never get drunk.

01:13:10.636 --> 01:13:13.221
You used to write an awful lot
about the workingman...

01:13:13.389 --> 01:13:14.514
Go on home.

01:13:14.682 --> 01:13:17.684
He's turning into something called
"organized labor."

01:13:19.145 --> 01:13:22.439
You won't like that one little bit
when you find out...

01:13:22.607 --> 01:13:27.694
...it means your workingman expects
something as his right, and not your gift.

01:13:29.781 --> 01:13:34.659
When your precious underprivileged
really get together...

01:13:34.827 --> 01:13:36.703
Oh, boy...

01:13:37.497 --> 01:13:40.415
That'll add up to something bigger
than your privilege...

01:13:40.583 --> 01:13:43.418
...then I don't know what you'll do.

01:13:43.586 --> 01:13:48.840
Sail away to a desert island probably
and lord it over the monkeys.

01:13:50.134 --> 01:13:52.302
I wouldn't worry about it too much.

01:13:52.678 --> 01:13:57.557
There'll probably be a few of them there
to tell me when I do something wrong.

01:13:57.767 --> 01:13:59.851
You may not always be so lucky.

01:14:00.686 --> 01:14:02.062
You're not very drunk.

01:14:02.230 --> 01:14:04.231
Drunk, what do you care?

01:14:04.649 --> 01:14:07.526
You don't care about anything
except you.

01:14:08.528 --> 01:14:14.366
You persuade people that you love them
so much that they ought to love you back.

01:14:14.700 --> 01:14:17.327
Only you want love on your own terms.

01:14:19.038 --> 01:14:22.499
It's something to be played your way,
according to your rules.

01:14:29.132 --> 01:14:32.551
- Let me work on the Chicago paper.
- What?

01:14:32.718 --> 01:14:37.556
You said you were looking for someone
to do dramatic "crimitism," criticism.

01:14:37.723 --> 01:14:38.890
I am drunk.

01:14:41.936 --> 01:14:44.271
I want to go to Chicago.

01:14:45.231 --> 01:14:47.190
You're too valuable here.

01:14:49.235 --> 01:14:53.155
- There's nothing left for me to do...
- All right, you can go to Chicago.

01:14:53.322 --> 01:14:54.865
Thank you.

01:14:55.616 --> 01:14:58.160
I guess I'd better try to get drunk anyway.

01:14:59.871 --> 01:15:02.289
I warn you, Jedediah,
you won't like Chicago.

01:15:02.456 --> 01:15:07.002
The wind comes off the lake, and they've
probably never heard of Lobster Newburg.

01:15:07.170 --> 01:15:09.254
Will Saturday after next be all right?

01:15:09.422 --> 01:15:12.048
- Anytime you say.
- Thank you.

01:15:17.096 --> 01:15:22.434
A toast to love on my terms.
Those are the only terms anybody knows:

01:15:23.686 --> 01:15:25.145
His own.

01:15:37.825 --> 01:15:40.035
Mr. Kane, I'm from the Inquirer.

01:15:49.629 --> 01:15:52.464
- What's that, young man?
- Are you through with politics?

01:15:52.632 --> 01:15:56.218
Am I through with politics?
I should say vice versa.

01:15:56.719 --> 01:15:58.345
We're going to be an opera star.

01:15:58.512 --> 01:16:00.305
Are you singing at the Metropolitan?

01:16:00.473 --> 01:16:01.806
We certainly are.

01:16:01.974 --> 01:16:04.809
Charlie said if I didn't,
he'd build me an opera house.

01:16:04.977 --> 01:16:06.853
That won't be necessary.

01:16:11.317 --> 01:16:12.651
No, no, no!

01:16:41.639 --> 01:16:43.682
Places, everybody!

01:16:48.187 --> 01:16:49.688
Places, please!

01:17:38.779 --> 01:17:41.531
Mr. Leland is writing it
from the dramatic angle?

01:17:41.699 --> 01:17:45.577
- We've covered it from the news end.
- And the social.

01:17:45.995 --> 01:17:48.121
How about the music notice?

01:17:48.289 --> 01:17:50.206
Yes, it's already made up.

01:17:50.374 --> 01:17:53.460
Mr. Mowan wrote a swell review.

01:17:55.129 --> 01:17:57.213
- Enthusiastic?
- Yes, sir.

01:17:57.381 --> 01:17:58.923
- Naturally.
- Mr. Bernstein.

01:17:59.091 --> 01:18:01.968
- Mr. Kane.
- Mr. Kane. This is a surprise.

01:18:04.055 --> 01:18:05.972
We've got two spreads of pictures.

01:18:06.140 --> 01:18:07.932
The music notice on the front page?

01:18:08.100 --> 01:18:12.187
But there's still one notice to come.
The dramatic.

01:18:12.855 --> 01:18:14.647
The dramatic notice.

01:18:15.566 --> 01:18:20.653
- Mr. Bernstein, that's Mr. Leland, isn't it?
- Yes, we're waiting for it.

01:18:23.991 --> 01:18:27.077
- Where is he?
- Right in there, Mr. Kane.

01:18:35.086 --> 01:18:36.795
Mr. Kane...

01:18:39.465 --> 01:18:41.466
Mr. Kane...

01:18:51.268 --> 01:18:53.937
Mr. Leland and Mr. Kane...

01:18:55.064 --> 01:18:58.691
...haven't spoken together for years.

01:19:00.945 --> 01:19:03.988
- You don't suppose...
- There's nothing to suppose.

01:19:07.993 --> 01:19:09.828
Excuse me.

01:19:26.345 --> 01:19:27.846
Close the door.

01:19:31.183 --> 01:19:34.102
He ain't been drinking before.

01:19:34.603 --> 01:19:36.938
Never. We would have heard.

01:19:37.106 --> 01:19:39.023
What does it say there?

01:19:39.483 --> 01:19:42.277
The notice, what's he written?

01:19:43.863 --> 01:19:49.409
"Miss Susan Alexander, a pretty
but hopelessly incompetent amateur..."

01:19:52.371 --> 01:19:56.207
...last night opened
the new Chicago Opera House...

01:19:56.542 --> 01:19:58.543
"...in a performance of..."

01:20:01.380 --> 01:20:05.467
I still can't pronounce that name.

01:20:08.429 --> 01:20:12.724
"Her singing, happily,
is no concern of this department.

01:20:12.892 --> 01:20:17.228
Of her acting,
it is absolutely impossible to..."

01:20:18.439 --> 01:20:19.898
Go on.

01:20:21.484 --> 01:20:24.068
- Go on.
- That's all there is.

01:20:37.166 --> 01:20:40.668
"Of her acting it is absolutely
impossible to say anything except...

01:20:40.836 --> 01:20:44.422
...that, in the opinion of this reviewer,
it represents a new low."

01:20:44.590 --> 01:20:47.425
- In the opinion of this reviewer.
- I didn't see that.

01:20:47.593 --> 01:20:49.886
It isn't here, Mr. Bernstein,
I'm dictating it.

01:20:50.054 --> 01:20:52.931
- Mr. Kane, I...
- Get me a typewriter.

01:20:54.391 --> 01:20:57.060
I'm going to finish Mr. Leland's notice.

01:21:13.869 --> 01:21:16.079
Hello, Bernstein.

01:21:20.918 --> 01:21:23.336
- Hello.
- Hello, Mr. Leland.

01:21:27.550 --> 01:21:30.718
Where's my notice, Bernstein?
I've got to finish my notice.

01:21:30.886 --> 01:21:34.556
- Mr. Kane is finishing it for you.
- Charlie?

01:21:36.892 --> 01:21:38.309
Charlie?

01:21:40.104 --> 01:21:42.438
Charlie out there?

01:21:44.191 --> 01:21:45.858
I guess he's fixing it up.

01:21:49.071 --> 01:21:51.864
I knew I'd never get that through.

01:21:52.324 --> 01:21:56.327
Mr. Kane's finishing your review
just the way you started it.

01:21:56.745 --> 01:22:00.957
He's writing a bad notice
like you wanted it to be.

01:22:02.960 --> 01:22:05.336
I guess that'll show you.

01:22:29.862 --> 01:22:31.779
Hello, Jedediah.

01:22:35.034 --> 01:22:36.868
Hello, Charlie.

01:22:38.078 --> 01:22:40.538
I didn't know we were speaking.

01:22:41.248 --> 01:22:43.791
Sure we're speaking, Jedediah.

01:22:45.544 --> 01:22:47.712
You're fired.

01:23:00.017 --> 01:23:05.188
Everybody knows that story,
Mr. Leland, but why did he do it?

01:23:06.065 --> 01:23:09.192
- How could a man write a notice...
- You just don't know Charlie.

01:23:09.360 --> 01:23:13.196
He thought that by finishing that notice
he'd show me he was an honest man.

01:23:13.364 --> 01:23:15.531
He was always
trying to prove something.

01:23:15.699 --> 01:23:18.743
That whole thing about Susie
being an opera singer.

01:23:18.911 --> 01:23:21.120
That was trying to prove something.

01:23:21.914 --> 01:23:25.249
You know what the headline was
the day before the election?

01:23:25.626 --> 01:23:31.464
"Candidate Kane
found in love nest with 'singer."'

01:23:31.632 --> 01:23:33.758
He was going to take
the quotes off the singer.

01:23:33.926 --> 01:23:35.009
Hey, nurse!

01:23:35.177 --> 01:23:39.222
Five years ago he wrote
from that place down there in the South.

01:23:39.390 --> 01:23:46.396
What's it called, Shangri-la? El Dorado?
Sloppy Joe's? What's the name?

01:23:48.107 --> 01:23:52.402
All right, Xanadu, I knew it all the time.

01:23:52.569 --> 01:23:56.656
You caught on, didn't you?
I'm not that hard to see through.

01:23:57.074 --> 01:23:59.450
Well, I never even answered his letter.

01:24:00.244 --> 01:24:01.577
Maybe I should have.

01:24:01.745 --> 01:24:05.790
I guess he was pretty lonely down there
in that coliseum all those years.

01:24:06.208 --> 01:24:09.252
He hadn't finished it when she left him.
He never finished it.

01:24:09.420 --> 01:24:12.630
He never finished anything
except my notice.

01:24:12.965 --> 01:24:16.092
- Of course, he built the joint for her.
- That must have been love.

01:24:16.260 --> 01:24:17.510
I don't know.

01:24:17.678 --> 01:24:21.973
He was disappointed in the world
so he built his own, an absolute monarchy.

01:24:22.641 --> 01:24:25.143
It was something bigger
than an opera house anyway.

01:24:25.310 --> 01:24:26.644
- Nurse.
- Yes, Mr. Leland.

01:24:26.812 --> 01:24:28.146
I'm coming.

01:24:29.690 --> 01:24:33.151
- There's one thing you can do for me.
- Sure.

01:24:33.318 --> 01:24:37.697
Stop at the cigar store on your way out,
and get me a couple of good cigars.

01:24:37.865 --> 01:24:40.158
- Be glad to.
- Thank you.

01:24:40.617 --> 01:24:42.034
One is enough.

01:24:42.411 --> 01:24:46.664
When I was a young man, there was
an impression that nurses were pretty.

01:24:46.832 --> 01:24:48.916
Well, it was no truer
then than it is today.

01:24:49.084 --> 01:24:51.127
- I'll take your arm.
- All right.

01:24:51.295 --> 01:24:54.005
- You won't forget about those cigars?
- I won't.

01:24:54.173 --> 01:24:59.051
Have them wrapped like toothpaste,
or they'll stop them at the desk.

01:24:59.219 --> 01:25:02.013
You know that young doctor
I was telling you about, well...

01:25:02.181 --> 01:25:05.057
...he's got an idea
he wants to keep me alive.

01:25:35.339 --> 01:25:39.884
I'd rather you'd just talk.
Anything that comes into your mind...

01:25:40.052 --> 01:25:42.261
...about yourself and Mr. Kane.

01:25:42.471 --> 01:25:47.809
You don't want to hear what comes into
my mind about myself and Charlie Kane.

01:25:49.353 --> 01:25:54.148
You know, maybe I shouldn't have sung
for Charlie that first time I met him.

01:25:55.400 --> 01:25:58.736
But I did an awful lot of singing
after that.

01:26:00.197 --> 01:26:03.991
I sang for teachers at $100 an hour.

01:26:04.159 --> 01:26:06.661
- The teachers got that, I didn't.
- What did you get?

01:26:06.829 --> 01:26:10.289
I didn't get a thing, except music lessons.
That's all there was in it.

01:26:10.457 --> 01:26:11.833
He married you, didn't he?

01:26:12.000 --> 01:26:15.378
He didn't mention anything about marriage
until after it was over and...

01:26:15.546 --> 01:26:17.755
...until it got in the papers about us...

01:26:17.923 --> 01:26:22.802
...and he lost the election,
and that Norton woman divorced him.

01:26:23.136 --> 01:26:25.012
He was really interested in my voice.

01:26:25.180 --> 01:26:26.764
Why did he build that opera house?

01:26:26.932 --> 01:26:30.768
I didn't want it. I didn't want a thing.
It was his idea.

01:26:32.145 --> 01:26:34.230
Everything was his idea...

01:26:37.192 --> 01:26:39.193
...except my leaving him.

01:26:47.160 --> 01:26:48.619
Don't forget.

01:26:48.787 --> 01:26:51.789
Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta.

01:26:51.957 --> 01:26:53.416
Don't get nervous.

01:26:53.584 --> 01:26:56.210
Please. Let's come back.

01:26:57.796 --> 01:27:00.965
Look at me, Mrs. Kane, darling.

01:27:01.133 --> 01:27:03.175
Get the voice out of the throat

01:27:05.637 --> 01:27:10.057
Place the tone right in the mask

01:27:16.273 --> 01:27:17.982
Diaphragm.

01:27:25.115 --> 01:27:26.741
You're out of pitch.

01:27:31.163 --> 01:27:34.248
Some people can sing. Some can't.

01:27:34.416 --> 01:27:36.918
Impossible. Impossible!

01:27:37.085 --> 01:27:40.546
It's not your job to give your opinion
of Mrs. Kane's talents.

01:27:41.882 --> 01:27:45.509
You're supposed to train her voice,
Signor Matiste. Nothing more.

01:27:46.178 --> 01:27:47.887
Please continue with the lesson.

01:27:48.055 --> 01:27:50.473
- But, Mr. Kane.
- Please.

01:27:51.475 --> 01:27:55.269
I'll be the laughingstock
of the musical world. People will think...

01:27:55.437 --> 01:27:58.272
You're concerned what people will think?

01:27:58.440 --> 01:28:02.860
Perhaps I can enlighten you a bit.
I'm an authority on what people will think.

01:28:03.028 --> 01:28:05.488
Heh. The newspapers for example.

01:28:05.739 --> 01:28:08.407
I run several newspapers
between here and San Francisco.

01:28:08.575 --> 01:28:09.992
It's all right, darling.

01:28:10.202 --> 01:28:12.703
Signor Matiste is going to listen
to reason.

01:28:13.372 --> 01:28:16.123
- How can I persuade you...
- You can't.

01:28:42.359 --> 01:28:44.485
It's all right, darling, go ahead.

01:28:56.248 --> 01:28:59.000
I thought you'd see it my way.

01:29:09.678 --> 01:29:12.430
No, no, no.

01:29:22.065 --> 01:29:24.525
Places! Places!

01:29:31.616 --> 01:29:34.160
Places! Places, everybody!

01:30:59.329 --> 01:31:00.704
I think it's dreadful.

01:32:40.222 --> 01:32:45.309
- Stop telling me he's your friend.
- A friend don't write that kind of review.

01:32:45.477 --> 01:32:48.562
All these other papers panning me,
I could expect that.

01:32:49.940 --> 01:32:52.524
But for the Inquirerto run a thing
like that, spoiling my whole debut.

01:32:52.692 --> 01:32:54.401
- Come in.
- I'll get it.

01:32:54.569 --> 01:32:57.363
Friend. Not the kind of friends I know...

01:32:57.656 --> 01:32:59.907
...but I'm not high class like you.

01:33:00.075 --> 01:33:01.909
And I never went to any swell schools.

01:33:02.077 --> 01:33:03.410
That'll be enough, Susan.

01:33:03.578 --> 01:33:05.162
- From Mr. Leland, sir.
- Jed Leland?

01:33:05.330 --> 01:33:08.457
He wanted me to make sure
you got this personally.

01:33:08.750 --> 01:33:11.377
Is that something from him?

01:33:12.837 --> 01:33:14.338
Charlie!

01:33:14.839 --> 01:33:18.676
As for you,
you ought to have your head examined.

01:33:18.885 --> 01:33:21.387
Sending him a letter
telling him he's fired...

01:33:21.554 --> 01:33:23.973
...with a $25,000 check in it.

01:33:24.140 --> 01:33:27.017
What kind of firing do you call that?

01:33:27.310 --> 01:33:31.563
You did send him a check for $25,000,
didn't you?

01:33:32.857 --> 01:33:34.149
Yes.

01:33:36.361 --> 01:33:39.571
I sent him a check for $25,000.

01:33:42.200 --> 01:33:43.659
What's that?

01:33:44.869 --> 01:33:46.328
Declaration of Principles.

01:33:46.663 --> 01:33:48.914
- What? What is it?
- Hmm?

01:33:55.171 --> 01:33:59.550
- An antique.
- You're awful funny, aren't you?

01:34:00.093 --> 01:34:04.346
I'll tell you one thing you're not going
to be funny about, and that's my singing.

01:34:04.514 --> 01:34:08.225
I'm through.
I never wanted to do it in the first place.

01:34:08.727 --> 01:34:10.769
You'll continue with your singing, Susan.

01:34:10.937 --> 01:34:13.897
I don't propose
to have myself made ridiculous.

01:34:14.065 --> 01:34:17.484
You don't propose
to have yourself made ridiculous!

01:34:17.652 --> 01:34:20.904
What about me?
I'm the one that has to sing.

01:34:21.072 --> 01:34:24.616
I'm the one that gets the raspberries.
Why don't you leave me alone?

01:34:24.784 --> 01:34:26.577
My reasons satisfy me, Susan.

01:34:26.745 --> 01:34:28.912
You seem unable to understand them.

01:34:29.789 --> 01:34:32.041
I will not tell them to you again.

01:34:35.712 --> 01:34:37.921
You'll continue with your singing.

01:36:10.348 --> 01:36:12.182
Get Dr. Corey.

01:36:16.604 --> 01:36:18.021
Susan.

01:36:18.565 --> 01:36:22.192
She'll be perfectly all right
in a day or two, Mr. Kane.

01:36:24.195 --> 01:36:28.240
I can't imagine how Mrs. Kane
came to make such a foolish mistake.

01:36:28.741 --> 01:36:33.328
The sedative Dr. Wagner gave her
was in a somewhat larger bottle.

01:36:33.705 --> 01:36:38.125
The strain of preparing for the new opera
has excited and confused her.

01:36:38.293 --> 01:36:40.502
Yes, I'm sure that was it.

01:36:41.296 --> 01:36:44.047
No objections to my staying
with her, are there?

01:36:44.215 --> 01:36:48.302
No, not at all.
I'd like the nurse to be here too.

01:36:49.095 --> 01:36:51.221
Good night, Mr. Kane.

01:37:26.758 --> 01:37:28.383
Charlie.

01:37:31.095 --> 01:37:34.264
I couldn't make you see
how I felt, Charlie.

01:37:35.725 --> 01:37:38.477
But I couldn't go through
with the singing again.

01:37:40.396 --> 01:37:43.607
You don't know what it means
to know that people are...

01:37:45.109 --> 01:37:47.945
That the whole audience
doesn't want you.

01:37:51.533 --> 01:37:53.617
That's when you got to fight them.

01:38:02.043 --> 01:38:03.627
All right.

01:38:05.547 --> 01:38:07.965
You won't have to fight them anymore.

01:38:11.261 --> 01:38:12.803
It's their loss.

01:38:29.028 --> 01:38:30.821
What are you doing?

01:38:35.243 --> 01:38:37.244
Jigsaw puzzles?

01:38:42.375 --> 01:38:44.459
Charlie, what time is it?

01:38:44.961 --> 01:38:48.046
- 11:30.
- In New York?

01:38:49.549 --> 01:38:53.802
- Hmm?
- I said what time is it in New York?

01:38:54.637 --> 01:38:57.764
- 11:30.
- Night?

01:38:58.933 --> 01:39:00.392
Mm-hm.

01:39:01.352 --> 01:39:03.145
The Bulldog's just gone to press.

01:39:03.313 --> 01:39:06.481
Well, hurray for the Bulldog.

01:39:08.693 --> 01:39:12.070
Gee, 11:30. Shows are just getting out.

01:39:12.238 --> 01:39:14.990
People are going to nightclubs
and restaurants.

01:39:15.658 --> 01:39:18.994
Of course, we're different
because we live in a palace.

01:39:19.162 --> 01:39:21.705
You always said you wanted
to live in a palace.

01:39:21.873 --> 01:39:24.207
A person could go crazy in this dump.

01:39:24.375 --> 01:39:27.419
Nobody to talk to,
nobody to have any fun with.

01:39:27.587 --> 01:39:28.754
Susan.

01:39:28.921 --> 01:39:32.841
49,000 acres of nothing
but scenery and statues.

01:39:33.051 --> 01:39:34.468
I'm lonesome.

01:39:34.636 --> 01:39:38.472
Until yesterday, we've had no less
than 50 of your friends at any one time.

01:39:38.640 --> 01:39:41.266
I think if you look in the west wing...

01:39:41.434 --> 01:39:44.436
...you'll find about a dozen vacationists
still in residence.

01:39:44.604 --> 01:39:47.189
You make a joke out of everything.

01:39:47.690 --> 01:39:52.235
Charlie, I want to go to New York.
I'm tired of being a hostess.

01:39:52.403 --> 01:39:56.239
I want to have fun. Please, Charlie.

01:39:57.950 --> 01:40:00.786
Charlie, please.

01:40:01.746 --> 01:40:04.623
Our home is here, Susan.

01:40:10.129 --> 01:40:12.381
I don't care to visit New York.

01:40:49.293 --> 01:40:51.086
What are you doing?

01:40:53.172 --> 01:40:57.300
Oh. One thing I can never understand:

01:40:57.468 --> 01:40:59.553
How do you know
you haven't done it before?

01:40:59.721 --> 01:41:03.306
It makes a whole lot more sense
than collecting statues.

01:41:05.309 --> 01:41:06.893
You may be right.

01:41:07.311 --> 01:41:09.396
I sometimes wonder...

01:41:09.772 --> 01:41:12.149
...but you get into the habit.

01:41:12.316 --> 01:41:15.152
It's not a habit, I do
it because I like it.

01:41:15.653 --> 01:41:17.279
I thought we might have
a picnic tomorrow.

01:41:17.447 --> 01:41:18.488
Huh?

01:41:18.656 --> 01:41:20.365
I thought we might have
a picnic tomorrow.

01:41:20.533 --> 01:41:23.577
Invite everybody to spend the night
at the Everglades.

01:41:23.828 --> 01:41:28.165
Invite everybody. Order everybody,
you mean, and make them sleep in tents.

01:41:28.332 --> 01:41:31.209
Who wants to sleep in tents
when they've got their own room...

01:41:31.377 --> 01:41:33.920
...with a bath, where they know
where everything is?

01:41:34.088 --> 01:41:37.466
I thought we might have
a picnic tomorrow.

01:41:40.803 --> 01:41:45.140
You never give me anything
I really care about.

01:41:53.357 --> 01:41:57.861
It can't be love

01:41:58.029 --> 01:42:02.616
For there is no true love

01:42:02.784 --> 01:42:05.494
I know I've played at the game

01:42:05.661 --> 01:42:08.121
Like a moth in a blue flame

01:42:08.289 --> 01:42:12.209
Lost in the end Just the same

01:42:12.376 --> 01:42:15.045
All these years

01:42:15.213 --> 01:42:20.050
My heart's been floating around
In a puddle of tears

01:42:20.218 --> 01:42:24.221
Mm I wonder what it is

01:42:24.555 --> 01:42:28.558
Sure, you give me things,
but that don't mean anything to you.

01:42:30.978 --> 01:42:34.022
You're in a tent, darling,
you aren't at home.

01:42:34.190 --> 01:42:37.442
I can hear you very well
if you speak in a normal tone of voice.

01:42:37.610 --> 01:42:41.446
What's the difference between giving me
a bracelet or giving someone $100,000...

01:42:41.614 --> 01:42:44.574
...for a statue you'll keep crated up
and never look at?

01:42:44.742 --> 01:42:47.035
It's just money. It doesn't mean anything.

01:42:47.203 --> 01:42:50.330
You never really gave me anything
that you care about.

01:42:50.498 --> 01:42:53.041
- I want you to stop this.
- I'm not going to stop it.

01:42:53.209 --> 01:42:56.086
- Right now.
- You never gave me anything in your life.

01:42:56.254 --> 01:42:58.588
You just tried to buy me
into giving you something.

01:42:58.756 --> 01:43:00.298
Susan!

01:43:02.510 --> 01:43:07.430
- It can't be love
- It can't be love

01:43:07.598 --> 01:43:10.433
For there is no true love

01:43:19.026 --> 01:43:21.570
Whatever I do, I do because I love you.

01:43:21.737 --> 01:43:23.613
You don't love me.

01:43:23.781 --> 01:43:25.657
You want me to love you.

01:43:25.825 --> 01:43:28.660
Sure. "I'm Charles Foster Kane.

01:43:28.828 --> 01:43:31.371
Whatever you want,
just name it and it's yours.

01:43:31.539 --> 01:43:33.748
"But you gotta love me."

01:43:38.212 --> 01:43:40.964
Don't tell me you're sorry.

01:43:42.884 --> 01:43:44.634
I'm not sorry.

01:43:56.480 --> 01:43:58.064
Mr. Kane?

01:43:58.482 --> 01:44:01.234
Mrs. Kane would like to see you, sir.

01:44:04.113 --> 01:44:07.282
Marie has been packing her
since morning.

01:44:13.372 --> 01:44:17.083
Tell Arnold I'm ready, Marie.
Tell him he can get the bags.

01:44:17.627 --> 01:44:18.877
Yes, madame.

01:44:20.880 --> 01:44:23.173
Have you gone completely crazy?

01:44:23.341 --> 01:44:26.509
Don't you know that our guests,
that everyone will know about this?

01:44:26.677 --> 01:44:28.470
Packed your bag, sent for the car...

01:44:28.638 --> 01:44:31.848
And left you? Of course they'll hear.

01:44:32.850 --> 01:44:35.518
I'm not saying goodbye, except to you.

01:44:35.728 --> 01:44:38.563
But I never imagined
people wouldn't know.

01:44:41.025 --> 01:44:42.901
I won't let you go.

01:44:50.242 --> 01:44:51.868
Goodbye, Charlie.

01:44:55.456 --> 01:44:56.873
Susan.

01:45:07.051 --> 01:45:08.677
Please don't go.

01:45:14.308 --> 01:45:16.101
Please, Susan.

01:45:19.313 --> 01:45:22.732
From now on, everything will be
exactly the way you want it to be.

01:45:22.900 --> 01:45:24.985
Not the way I think you want it...

01:45:26.654 --> 01:45:28.154
...but your way.

01:45:30.408 --> 01:45:31.616
Hmm?

01:45:34.662 --> 01:45:35.996
You mustn't go.

01:45:39.250 --> 01:45:41.418
You can't do this to me.

01:45:43.087 --> 01:45:44.754
I see.

01:45:45.673 --> 01:45:48.258
It's you that this is being done to.

01:45:48.551 --> 01:45:50.343
It's not me at all.

01:45:50.594 --> 01:45:52.512
Not what it means to me.

01:45:54.682 --> 01:45:56.850
I can't do this to you?

01:45:58.310 --> 01:46:00.270
Oh, yes, I can.

01:46:19.415 --> 01:46:22.459
In case you haven't heard,
I lost all my money and it was plenty.

01:46:22.626 --> 01:46:24.878
The last 10 years
have been difficult for many.

01:46:25.046 --> 01:46:27.964
They haven't been tough on me.
I just lost all my money.

01:46:28.591 --> 01:46:31.676
- You're going down to Xanadu?
- Monday, with boys from the office.

01:46:31.844 --> 01:46:34.512
Mr. Rawlston wants
the whole place photographed.

01:46:34.680 --> 01:46:36.181
We run a picture magazine.

01:46:36.348 --> 01:46:39.976
If you're smart, you'll get in touch
with Raymond. He's the butler.

01:46:40.144 --> 01:46:42.062
You'll learn a lot from him.

01:46:42.229 --> 01:46:44.689
He knows where
all the bodies are buried.

01:46:44.857 --> 01:46:48.068
You know, all the same,
I feel kind of sorry for Mr. Kane.

01:46:50.321 --> 01:46:51.988
Don't you think I do?

01:46:56.577 --> 01:46:59.537
What do you know, it's morning already.

01:47:03.000 --> 01:47:06.628
Come around and tell me the story
of your life sometime.

01:47:13.636 --> 01:47:15.220
Rosebud?

01:47:17.848 --> 01:47:19.933
I'll tell you about Rosebud.

01:47:20.434 --> 01:47:22.352
How much is it worth to you?

01:47:22.937 --> 01:47:24.729
A thousand dollars?

01:47:30.820 --> 01:47:32.237
Okay.

01:47:34.031 --> 01:47:36.491
Well, I'll tell you, Mr. Thompson.

01:47:37.451 --> 01:47:40.870
- He acted funny sometimes, you know?
- No, I didn't.

01:47:41.122 --> 01:47:43.540
Yes, he did crazy things sometimes.

01:47:43.874 --> 01:47:46.209
I've been working for him 11 years now...

01:47:46.377 --> 01:47:50.213
...in charge of the whole place,
so I ought to know.

01:47:50.548 --> 01:47:51.756
- Rosebud.
- Yes.

01:47:51.924 --> 01:47:56.845
Like I tell you, the old man
acted kind of funny sometimes...

01:47:57.012 --> 01:48:00.640
...but I knew how to handle him...
Need a lot of service?

01:48:00.808 --> 01:48:03.768
Yeah. But I knew how to handle him.

01:48:03.936 --> 01:48:05.478
Like that time his wife left.

01:50:21.365 --> 01:50:22.615
Rosebud.

01:51:30.684 --> 01:51:32.226
I see.

01:51:32.895 --> 01:51:36.272
- And that's what you know about Rosebud?
- Yeah.

01:51:36.899 --> 01:51:39.275
I heard him say it that other time too.

01:51:39.943 --> 01:51:41.861
He just said:

01:51:42.237 --> 01:51:43.988
"Rosebud."

01:51:44.156 --> 01:51:47.450
Then he dropped the glass ball
and it broke on the floor.

01:51:48.118 --> 01:51:52.330
He didn't say anything after that,
and I knew he was dead.

01:51:53.082 --> 01:51:55.750
He said all kinds of things
that didn't mean anything.

01:51:55.918 --> 01:51:58.795
- Sentimental fellow, aren't you?
- Hmm...

01:51:58.962 --> 01:52:01.589
- Yes and no.
- That isn't worth $1000.

01:52:01.757 --> 01:52:04.717
You can keep on asking questions
if you want to.

01:52:04.968 --> 01:52:06.636
We're leaving tonight...

01:52:07.429 --> 01:52:09.305
...when we're through taking pictures.

01:52:09.473 --> 01:52:11.349
Allow yourself plenty of time.

01:52:11.517 --> 01:52:15.353
The train stops at the junction on signal,
but they don't like to wait.

01:52:16.397 --> 01:52:19.357
I can remember
when they'd wait all day...

01:52:19.691 --> 01:52:20.983
...if Mr. Kane said so.

01:52:22.820 --> 01:52:25.405
Better get going.

01:52:26.782 --> 01:52:28.199
Take a picture of that.

01:52:28.409 --> 01:52:32.328
- Can we come down?
- Yes, hurry up. We're leaving.

01:52:34.540 --> 01:52:38.000
How much do you think
all this is worth, Mr. Thompson?

01:52:38.210 --> 01:52:39.752
Millions.

01:52:41.213 --> 01:52:42.338
If anybody wants it.

01:52:42.506 --> 01:52:45.133
Well, at least he brought all this stuff
to America.

01:52:45.300 --> 01:52:46.968
- What's that?
- Another Venus.

01:52:47.136 --> 01:52:48.344
25,000 bucks.

01:52:48.512 --> 01:52:51.013
A lot of money to pay
for a dame without a head.

01:52:51.181 --> 01:52:54.100
- The banks are out of luck?
- Oh, I don't know.

01:52:54.852 --> 01:52:57.520
- They'll clear all right.
- He never threw anything away.

01:52:57.688 --> 01:53:02.817
"Welcome home, Mr. Kane, from 467
employees of the New York Inquirer."

01:53:02.985 --> 01:53:08.239
"One stove from the estate of Mary Kane,
$2."

01:53:08.407 --> 01:53:10.825
We're supposed to get everything,
junk as well as art.

01:53:10.993 --> 01:53:12.577
He sure liked to collect things.

01:53:12.744 --> 01:53:14.078
Anything and everything.

01:53:14.246 --> 01:53:15.872
A regular crow, eh?

01:53:16.039 --> 01:53:18.666
- Hey, look, a jigsaw puzzle.
- We got a lot of those.

01:53:18.834 --> 01:53:21.836
A Burmese temple and three
Spanish ceilings down the hall.

01:53:22.337 --> 01:53:23.713
Part of a Scotch castle...

01:53:23.881 --> 01:53:25.715
...that needs to be unwrapped.

01:53:26.049 --> 01:53:27.467
Put all this stuff together:

01:53:27.634 --> 01:53:30.678
The palaces and the paintings,
and the toys and everything.

01:53:30.846 --> 01:53:32.805
What would it spell?

01:53:34.224 --> 01:53:37.018
- Charles Foster Kane?
- Or Rosebud.

01:53:37.269 --> 01:53:40.146
- How about it, Jerry?
- What's Rosebud?

01:53:40.314 --> 01:53:42.857
That's what he said when he died.

01:53:43.525 --> 01:53:45.610
Did you ever find out what it means?

01:53:45.777 --> 01:53:47.904
- No, I didn't.
- What did you find out about him?

01:53:48.071 --> 01:53:49.572
Not much, really.

01:53:52.659 --> 01:53:54.368
We'd better get started.

01:53:56.288 --> 01:53:58.706
What have you been doing all this time?

01:53:59.750 --> 01:54:01.292
Playing with a jigsaw puzzle.

01:54:01.460 --> 01:54:05.129
If you'd discovered what Rosebud meant,
I bet it would've explained everything.

01:54:05.297 --> 01:54:06.839
No, I don't think so.

01:54:07.466 --> 01:54:08.841
No.

01:54:09.009 --> 01:54:12.553
He was a man who got
everything he wanted, and then lost it.

01:54:12.721 --> 01:54:16.307
Maybe Rosebud was something
he couldn't get or something he lost.

01:54:16.475 --> 01:54:18.768
It wouldn't have explained anything.

01:54:19.603 --> 01:54:22.730
I don't think any word
can explain a man's life.

01:54:23.690 --> 01:54:27.902
No. I guess Rosebud is just a piece
in a jigsaw puzzle.

01:54:29.071 --> 01:54:30.780
A missing piece.

01:54:34.117 --> 01:54:35.743
Well...

01:54:36.620 --> 01:54:38.788
...come on, everybody...

01:54:40.624 --> 01:54:42.875
...we'll miss the train.

01:55:47.566 --> 01:55:49.817
Throw that junk in.

01:57:22.828 --> 01:57:27.581
Maybe I was what you nowadays
call a stooge. Huh?

01:57:27.749 --> 01:57:30.042
Everything was his idea...

01:57:31.837 --> 01:57:33.671
...except my leaving him.

01:57:34.548 --> 01:57:36.841
I've got his trunk all packed.

01:57:37.843 --> 01:57:40.219
I've had it packed for a week now.

01:57:40.387 --> 01:57:44.056
Sometimes I think I'd prefer
a rival of flesh and blood.

01:57:45.976 --> 01:57:48.477
You're gonna need more than one lesson.
