I have to do a yarn on Williams. Did he know what he was doing when he fired that gun?
Murphy
If you ask us, 'No.' If you ask the state alienist, the answer is 'Yes.'
Hildy
Who is he? What's he do?
Jake McCue
He was a bookkeeper. He starts out at twenty dollars a week and after fourteen years, he gradually works himself up to seventeen fifty...Plus the company goes out of business and Williams loses his job...
Ernie
So he starts hangin' around the park, listenin' to a lot of soapbox spellbinders makin' phony speeches and begins to believe 'em.
Endicott
And makes some of his own.
