200:02:38,070 --> 00:02:40,231News on the March.
300:02:59,759 --> 00:03:01,818Legendary was the Xanadu...
400:03:01,894 --> 00:03:05,489...where Kubla Khan decreedhis stately pleasure dome.
500:03:05,564 --> 00:03:09,056Today almost as legendaryas Florida's Xanadu...
600:03:09,168 --> 00:03:11,500
...the world's largestprivate pleasure ground.
700:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,539Here on the deserts of the Gulf Coast,a private mountain...
800:03:17,610 --> 00:03:19,601...was commissioned and successfully built.

00:03:19,678 --> 00:03:23,239One hundred thousand trees,twenty thousand tons of marble...
1000:03:23,315 --> 00:03:25,909...are the ingredientsof Xanadu's mountain.
1100:03:26,986 --> 00:03:29,420Contents of Xanadu's palace:
1200:03:29,488 --> 00:03:33,652Paintings, pictures, statues,various stones of other palaces.
1300:03:34,059 --> 00:03:35,924A collection of everything.

00:03:35,995 --> 00:03:39,260So big it can neverbe catalogued or appraised.
1500:03:39,331 --> 00:03:43,199Enough for 10 museums,the loot of the world.
1600:03:46,772 --> 00:03:48,740Xanadu's livestock...
1700:03:49,809 --> 00:03:55,304...the fowl of the air, the fish of the sea,the beast of the field and jungle...
1800:03:55,614 --> 00:03:59,880...two of each,the biggest private zoo since Noah.
19
00:04:00,553 --> 00:04:02,384Like the Pharaohs...
2000:04:02,555 --> 00:04:06,514...Xanadu's landlord leaves many stonesto mark his grave.
2100:04:08,060 --> 00:04:09,584Since the Pyramids...
22
00:04:09,829 --> 00:04:12,525...Xanadu is the costliest monument...
2300:04:12,598 --> 00:04:15,032...a man has built to himself.
2400:04:28,113 --> 00:04:30,741Here in Xanadu last week...
2500:04:31,116 --> 00:04:33,983
...Xanadu's landlord was laid to rest.
2600:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,050A potent figure of our century...
2700:04:37,156 --> 00:04:39,317...America's Kubla Khan:

2800:04:39,792 --> 00:04:41,623Charles Foster Kane.
2900:05:09,088 --> 00:05:14,116Its humble beginnings,in this ramshackle building, a dying daily.
3000:05:14,226 --> 00:05:16,820Kane's empire, in its glory...
3100:05:16,996 --> 00:05:20,955...held dominion over 37 newspapers,two syndicates...
3200:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,728...a radio network,an empire upon an empire.
33
00:05:26,071 --> 00:05:29,939The first of grocery stores, paper mills...
3400:05:30,075 --> 00:05:35,741...apartment buildings,factories, forests, ocean liners.
3500:05:35,814 --> 00:05:39,181An empire through which for 50 years...
36
00:05:39,251 --> 00:05:41,685...flowed in an unending stream...
3700:05:41,954 --> 00:05:45,185...the wealth of the Earth'sthird richest gold mine.
3800:05:46,558 --> 00:05:49,755Famed in American legendis the origin of the Kane fortune.
3900:05:49,828 --> 00:05:55,425How, to boarding housekeeper Mary Kane,by a defaulting boarder, in 1868...
4000:05:55,501 --> 00:05:59,369...was left the supposedly worthless deedto an abandoned mineshaft:
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
4/113
4100:05:59,438 --> 00:06:02,566The Colorado Lode.
4200:06:02,641 --> 00:06:06,805Fifty-seven years later,before a congressional investigation...
4300:06:06,879 --> 00:06:10,337... Walter P. Thatcher,grand old man of Wall Street...
4400:06:10,416 --> 00:06:14,147...for years chief targetof Kane papers' attacks on trusts...
4500:06:14,219 --> 00:06:16,619...recalls a journey he made as a youth.
46
00:06:16,689 --> 00:06:20,125My firm had been appointed trusteeby Mrs.Kane...
4700:06:20,192 --> 00:06:22,524...for a large fortune she recently acquired.
4800:06:22,594 --> 00:06:26,690It was her wish that I take chargeof this boy, Charles Foster Kane.
4900:06:26,765 --> 00:06:31,498Chief, is it not, that on this occasion,Charles Foster Kane...
5000:06:31,603 --> 00:06:36,438...personally attacked you after striking youin the stomach with a sled?
5100:06:36,976 --> 00:06:39,911I shall read to the committee
a prepared statement...
5200:06:39,979 --> 00:06:45,440...which I have brought with me,and then refuse to answer questions.
5300:06:45,918 --> 00:06:49,285Mr.Charles Foster Kane,

7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
6/113
6700:07:49,248 --> 00:07:51,842Was hated by as many more.
6800:07:52,184 --> 00:07:55,745For 40 years appeared in Kane newsprint...
6900:07:55,988 --> 00:08:00,322...no public issueon which Kane papers took no stand.
7000:08:00,726 --> 00:08:06,096No public man whom Kane himselfdid not support or denounce.
7100:08:06,165 --> 00:08:10,192Often support, then denounce.
72
00:08:18,510 --> 00:08:21,911Twice married, twice divorced.
7300:08:22,247 --> 00:08:24,545First to a president's niece...
7400:08:24,616 --> 00:08:27,710...Emily Norton, who left him in 1916.
7500:08:28,287 --> 00:08:31,848
Died 1918 in a motor accidentwith their son.
7600:08:34,326 --> 00:08:36,658Sixteen years after his first marriage...
7700:08:36,728 --> 00:08:39,060...two weeks after his first divorce...
7800:08:39,264 --> 00:08:41,425
...Kane married Susan Alexander...
7900:08:41,500 --> 00:08:44,765...singer, at the Town Hallin Trenton, New Jersey.
8000:08:45,571 --> 00:08:50,838For wife two,

7/113
one-time opera-singing Susan Alexander...
8100:08:51,043 --> 00:08:54,308...Kane builtChicago's Municipal Opera House.
8200:08:54,413 --> 00:08:56,779Cost: $3 million.
8300:08:56,915 --> 00:09:03,047Conceived for Susan Alexander Kane,half-finished before she divorced him...
8400:09:03,122 --> 00:09:05,113...the still unfinished...
8500:09:05,324 --> 00:09:06,723...Xanadu.
8600:09:06,792 --> 00:09:09,989Cost: No man can say.
8700:09:13,332 --> 00:09:16,631Kane, molder of mass opinionthough he was...
8800:09:16,835 --> 00:09:19,497...in all his lifewas never granted elective office...
8900:09:19,571 --> 00:09:21,266...by the voters of his country.
9000:09:21,340 --> 00:09:24,104But Kane papers were once strong indeed...
9100:09:24,243 --> 00:09:26,734...and once the prize seemed almost his.
9200:09:27,012 --> 00:09:30,470In 1916, as independent candidatefor governor...
9300:09:30,549 --> 00:09:32,983...the best elements of the statebehind him...
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
8/113
9400:09:33,051 --> 00:09:37,920...the White House seemingly the nexteasy step in a lightning political career...
9500:09:37,990 --> 00:09:41,858...then suddenly, less than one weekbefore election...
9600:09:42,427 --> 00:09:43,894...defeat.
9700:09:43,962 --> 00:09:46,157Shameful, ignominious.
9800:09:46,865 --> 00:09:50,392Defeat that set back for 20 yearsthe cause of reform in the U.S...
99
00:09:50,469 --> 00:09:54,235...forever cancelled political chancesfor Charles Foster Kane.
10000:09:57,342 --> 00:10:00,368Then, in the first yearof the Great Depression...
10100:10:00,979 --> 00:10:03,140...a Kane paper closes.
10200:10:03,282 --> 00:10:06,979For Kane, in four short years, collapse.
10300:10:07,386 --> 00:10:12,585Eleven Kane papers merged,more sold, scrapped.
10400:10:22,234 --> 00:10:23,326Is that correct?
10500:10:23,402 --> 00:10:25,734Don't believe everything you hearon the radio.
10600:10:25,804 --> 00:10:29,740- Read the Inquirer.- How were business conditions in Europe?
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
9/113
10700:10:29,808 --> 00:10:33,744How did I find business conditionsin Europe, Mr.Bones?
10800:10:33,879 --> 00:10:35,574With great difficulty.
10900:10:38,116 --> 00:10:39,777Are you glad to be back?
11000:10:39,851 --> 00:10:42,376I'm always glad to be back.I'm an American.
11100:10:43,288 --> 00:10:45,813Always been an American. Anything else?
11200:10:45,891 --> 00:10:48,985
When I was a reporter,we asked them quicker than that.
11300:10:49,061 --> 00:10:51,586What do you thinkof the chances for war in Europe?
11400:10:51,663 --> 00:10:55,963I talked with the responsible leadersof England, France, Germany and Italy.
11500:10:56,134 --> 00:10:58,568They're too intelligentto embark on a project...
11600:10:58,637 --> 00:11:01,128...that would mean the end of civilization.
11700:11:01,306 --> 00:11:04,798You can take my word for it,there will be no war.
11800:11:09,214 --> 00:11:11,842Kane helped to change the world...
11900:11:11,984 --> 00:11:14,646...but Kane's world now is history...
120
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
10/113
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,156...and the great yellow journalist himselflived to be history...
12100:11:18,223 --> 00:11:20,555...outlived his power to make it.
12200:11:21,426 --> 00:11:25,453Alone in his never-finished,already decaying pleasure palace...
12300:11:25,697 --> 00:11:29,098...aloof, seldom visited,never photographed...
12400:11:29,401 --> 00:11:33,394...an emperor of newsprintcontinued to direct his failing empire.
125
00:11:34,006 --> 00:11:36,804Vainly attempted to sway, as he once did...
12600:11:37,175 --> 00:11:40,576...the destinies of a nationthat had ceased to listen to him...
12700:11:40,646 --> 00:11:42,409...ceased to trust him.
128
00:11:44,416 --> 00:11:48,477Then last week, as it must to all men...
12900:11:49,421 --> 00:11:52,015...death came to Charles Foster Kane.
13000:11:52,958 --> 00:11:54,823News on the March.
13100:11:59,998 --> 00:12:01,226
That's it.
13200:12:01,933 --> 00:12:04,868Stand by.I'll tell you if we want to run it again.
13300:12:04,936 --> 00:12:07,598- How about it, Mr.Rawlston?
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
11/113
- How do you like it, boys?
13400:12:07,673 --> 00:12:11,575- Seventy years in a man's life.- That's a lot to try to get into a newsreel.
13500:12:11,643 --> 00:12:14,111It's a good short,but what it needs is an angle.
13600:12:14,179 --> 00:12:17,478All we saw on that screenwas that Charles Foster Kane is dead.
13700:12:17,549 --> 00:12:19,642I know that. I read the papers.
13800:12:19,718 --> 00:12:22,209It isn't enough to tell us what a man did...
13900:12:22,521 --> 00:12:25,684...you've got to tell us who he was.
14000:12:25,757 --> 00:12:29,056Wait a minute.What were Kane's last words?
14100:12:29,127 --> 00:12:31,095Do you remember, boys?
14200:12:31,163 --> 00:12:33,631What were the last wordshe said on Earth?
14300:12:33,699 --> 00:12:35,792Maybe he told us about himselfon his deathbed.
14400:12:35,867 --> 00:12:38,961
- Maybe he didn't.- All we saw was a big American.
14500:12:39,037 --> 00:12:42,063How did he differ from Ford,Hearst or John Doe?
14600:12:42,541 --> 00:12:44,771
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
12/113
I tell you, a man's dying words--
14700:12:44,876 --> 00:12:46,810What were they?You don't read the papers.
14800:12:46,878 --> 00:12:49,403When Charles Foster Kane died,he said one word:
14900:12:49,481 --> 00:12:50,470"Rosebud."
15000:12:50,549 --> 00:12:52,312That's all he said? Tough guy.
15100:12:52,384 --> 00:12:54,682Yes, "Rosebud." Just that one word.
15200:12:55,020 --> 00:12:56,715- But who is she?- What was it?
15300:12:56,788 --> 00:12:58,949Here's a manwho could've been president...
15400:12:59,024 --> 00:13:01,322...who was as loved,
hated and talked about...
15500:13:01,393 --> 00:13:03,953...as any man in our time,but when he dies...
15600:13:04,029 --> 00:13:06,293...something is on his mind called Rosebud.
15700:13:06,365 --> 00:13:08,833
- What does that mean?- A racehorse he bet on once.
15800:13:08,900 --> 00:13:11,266- That didn't come in.- But what was the race?
15900:13:11,336 --> 00:13:12,496
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
13/113
Rosebud.
16000:13:12,571 --> 00:13:13,401- Thompson.- Yes.
16100:13:13,472 --> 00:13:15,406Hold this up a week, two if you must.
16200:13:15,474 --> 00:13:17,271Don't you think right after he's dead--
16300:13:17,342 --> 00:13:20,470Find out about Rosebud. Get in touchwith anybody who knew him...
16400:13:20,545 --> 00:13:22,035...or knew him well.
16500:13:22,381 --> 00:13:24,008That manager of his....
16600:13:24,082 --> 00:13:26,573Bernstein. His second wife.She's still living.
16700:13:26,651 --> 00:13:27,913Susan Alexander Kane.
16800:13:27,986 --> 00:13:30,853- She runs a nightclub in Atlantic City.- That's right.
16900:13:30,922 --> 00:13:34,358See them all. Get in touch with everybodythat ever worked for him...
17000:13:34,426 --> 00:13:37,327...whoever loved him,
whoever hated his guts.
17100:13:37,662 --> 00:13:40,654I don't mean go throughthe city directory of course.
17200:13:40,732 --> 00:13:42,324I'll get on it right away.
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
14/113
17300:13:42,401 --> 00:13:45,131Good. Rosebud, dead or alive.
17400:13:45,937 --> 00:13:48,531It will probably turn out to bea very simple thing.
17500:14:27,979 --> 00:14:29,503Miss Alexander.
17600:14:30,715 --> 00:14:32,945This is Mr.Thompson, Miss Alexander.
17700:14:33,118 --> 00:14:35,416I want another drink, John.
17800:14:38,356 --> 00:14:41,291
Right away.Will you have something, Mr.Thompson?
17900:14:41,359 --> 00:14:44,886- I'll have a highball, please.- Who told you you could sit down?
18000:14:46,765 --> 00:14:48,699I thought maybe we could have a talk.
181
00:14:48,767 --> 00:14:50,234Think again.
18200:14:51,503 --> 00:14:53,801Can't you people leave me alone?
18300:14:53,905 --> 00:14:56,135I'm minding my own business,you mind yours.
184
00:14:56,208 --> 00:14:59,143If I could just have a talk with you,Miss Alexander. I'd--
18500:14:59,211 --> 00:15:00,735Get out of here.
18600:15:02,547 --> 00:15:03,775
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519

Get out!
18700:15:05,150 --> 00:15:06,640- Sorry.- Get out.
18800:15:06,952 --> 00:15:09,420- Maybe some other time.- Get out.
18900:15:20,432 --> 00:15:21,558Gino.
19000:15:23,468 --> 00:15:25,197Get her another highball.
19100:15:25,670 --> 00:15:28,230She just won't talk to nobody,Mr.Thompson.

19300:15:31,510 --> 00:15:34,206- Another double?- Yeah.
19400:15:35,180 --> 00:15:36,943Hello, I want New York City.

Mr.Thatcher.
23800:18:47,505 --> 00:18:50,338You people seem to forgetthat I'm the boy's father.

7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
19/113
exactly the way I've told Mr.Thatcher.
24000:18:53,411 --> 00:18:57,142There's nothing wrong with Colorado.I don't see why we can't raise our son...
24100:18:57,215 --> 00:18:59,012...just 'cause we came into money.
24200:18:59,084 --> 00:19:02,053If I want to, I can go to court.A father has a right to.
24300:19:02,120 --> 00:19:05,419A boarder that beats his billand leaves worthless stock behind....
24400:19:05,490 --> 00:19:08,425That property is as much my property
as anybody's...
24500:19:08,493 --> 00:19:11,428...now that it's valuable.And if Fred Graves had any idea...
24600:19:11,496 --> 00:19:15,091...this would happen, he'd have made outthe certificates in both our names.
247
00:19:15,166 --> 00:19:18,624- But they're made out to Mrs.Kane.- He owed the money to both of us.
24800:19:18,703 --> 00:19:23,538- "The bank's decision in all matters--"- I don't hold with giving Charles to a bank--
24900:19:23,608 --> 00:19:25,872- Stop this nonsense.- We're a bit uneducated--
25000:19:25,944 --> 00:19:28,071"The bank's decisionconcerning his education...
25100:19:28,146 --> 00:19:30,637"...his places of residence, is to be final."
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
20/113
25200:19:30,715 --> 00:19:34,276- The idea of a bank being the guardian--- Stop this nonsense, Jim.
25300:19:34,352 --> 00:19:37,253"We will assume full managementof the Colorado Lode"...
25400:19:37,322 --> 00:19:39,984...which I repeat, Mrs.Kane,you are the sole owner.

25600:19:42,293 --> 00:19:44,727Mary, I'm asking you for the last time.
25700:19:45,296 --> 00:19:47,992You'd think I hadn't beena good husband or father--
25800:19:48,066 --> 00:19:49,624The sum of $50,000 a year...
25900:19:49,701 --> 00:19:52,898...is to be paid to youand Mr.Kane as long as you both live...
26000:19:52,971 --> 00:19:55,098...and thereafter to the survivor.
26100:19:55,707 --> 00:19:58,608- Let's hope it's all for the best.- It is.
26200:20:03,748 --> 00:20:07,081Why I can't raise my own boy
is more than I can understand.
26300:20:07,152 --> 00:20:08,983Go on, Mr.Thatcher.
26400:20:09,120 --> 00:20:12,248Everything else, the principal,as well as all monies earned...
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
21/113
26500:20:12,323 --> 00:20:16,384...is to be administered by the bank in trustfor your son, Charles Foster Kane...
26600:20:16,461 --> 00:20:19,225...until he reaches his 25th birthday,at which time...
26700:20:19,297 --> 00:20:21,561...he is to come into complete possession.
26800:20:21,633 --> 00:20:22,930Charles!
26900:20:25,036 --> 00:20:26,594Go on, Mr.Thatcher.

27200:20:35,313 --> 00:20:37,474I've had it packed for a week now.
273
00:20:40,151 --> 00:20:42,517I've arranged for a tutorto meet us in Chicago.
27400:20:42,587 --> 00:20:44,919I'd have brought him here with me, but....
27500:20:45,657 --> 00:20:47,386- Charles.- Look, Mom.
27600:20:47,559 --> 00:20:48,992You'd better come inside.
27700:20:49,060 --> 00:20:52,029- That's quite a snowman.- I took the pipe out of his mouth.

00:25:36,681 --> 00:25:40,481If you can form such a committee,put me down for a contribution of $1,000.
36900:25:40,551 --> 00:25:43,418On the other hand,I am the publisher of the Inquirer.
37000:25:43,488 --> 00:25:47,584As such it's my duty, I'll let you inon a little secret. It is also my pleasure...

37200:25:52,029 --> 00:25:54,589...of money-mad pirates, just because...
373
00:25:55,032 --> 00:25:58,195...they have no oneto look after their interests.
37400:25:58,603 --> 00:26:01,595I'll let you in on another little secret,Mr.Thatcher:
37500:26:01,672 --> 00:26:05,540I think I'm the man to do it.You see, I have money and property.
37600:26:05,610 --> 00:26:09,603If I don't look after the interestsof the underprivileged, somebody else will.
37700:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,739Maybe somebodywithout money or property.
37800:26:11,816 --> 00:26:13,147

39400:27:13,711 --> 00:27:15,269All right, Mr.Bernstein.
39500:27:15,346 --> 00:27:19,874I've read it, Mr.Thatcher,just let me sign it and go home.
39600:27:19,951 --> 00:27:23,318You're too oldto call me Mr.Thatcher, Charles.
39700:27:23,454 --> 00:27:26,446You're too old to be called anything else.
39800:27:26,524 --> 00:27:28,719You were always too old.
39900:27:29,360 --> 00:27:33,057
"In consideration thereof,Thatcher & Company agrees...
40000:27:33,130 --> 00:27:35,963"...to pay to Charles Foster Kane,as long as he lives--"
40100:27:36,033 --> 00:27:37,660My allowance.

40400:27:46,944 --> 00:27:50,175And we shall seek your advice.
40500:27:52,750 --> 00:27:56,618This depression is temporary.
40600:27:57,822 --> 00:28:01,622There's always the chancethat you'll die richer than I will.

7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
32/113
00:28:01,859 --> 00:28:04,327It's a cinch I'll die richer than I was born.
40800:28:04,395 --> 00:28:06,863We never lost as much as we made.
40900:28:06,931 --> 00:28:11,459Yes, yes, but your methods.You know, Charles...
41000:28:11,535 --> 00:28:16,768...you never made a single investment.You always used money to....
41100:28:17,475 --> 00:28:19,500To buy things.
41200:28:22,713 --> 00:28:25,011To buy things.
41300:28:25,950 --> 00:28:29,909My mother should have chosena less reliable banker.
41400:28:36,761 --> 00:28:40,527I always gagged on that silver spoon.
41500:28:42,033 --> 00:28:44,501You know, Mr.Bernstein...
41600:28:46,203 --> 00:28:48,899...if I hadn't been very rich...
41700:28:49,473 --> 00:28:51,805...I might have been a really great man.
41800:28:51,876 --> 00:28:54,071Don't you think you are?
41900:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,277I think I did pretty wellunder the circumstances.
42000:29:01,118 --> 00:29:03,518What would you like to have been?

00:29:06,324 --> 00:29:08,656Everything you hate.
42200:29:17,168 --> 00:29:20,331I beg your pardon, sir? What did you say?
42300:29:20,404 --> 00:29:24,204- It's 4:30. Isn't it, Jennings?- Yes, ma'am.
42400:29:24,342 --> 00:29:26,902You have enjoyed a very rare privilege,young man.
42500:29:26,977 --> 00:29:30,003- Did you find what you were looking for?- No.
42600:29:32,483 --> 00:29:34,508
- You're not Rosebud, are you?- What?
42700:29:34,585 --> 00:29:37,577Rosebud, and your name is Jennings,isn't it?
42800:29:37,722 --> 00:29:42,159Goodbye, everybody.Thanks for the use of the hall.
42900:29:42,893 --> 00:29:46,454Who's a busy man, me?I'm chairman of the board.
43000:29:46,530 --> 00:29:48,964I got nothing but time.What do you want to know?
43100:29:49,033 --> 00:29:53,265We thought maybe.... If we could
find out what he meant by his last words...
43200:29:53,337 --> 00:29:55,862- ...as he was dying.- That "Rosebud"?
43300:29:55,940 --> 00:29:58,431Maybe some girl?
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
34/113
43400:29:58,509 --> 00:30:00,739There were a lot of them in the early days.
43500:30:00,811 --> 00:30:04,042It's hardly likely that Mr.Kanecould have met someone casually...
43600:30:04,115 --> 00:30:06,379...and then 50 years later, on his deathbed--
43700:30:06,450 --> 00:30:11,251Well, you're pretty young, Mr.Thompson.
43800:30:11,455 --> 00:30:15,084A fellow will remember a lot of thingsyou wouldn't think he'd remember.
439
00:30:15,159 --> 00:30:16,888You take me.
44000:30:16,961 --> 00:30:22,024One day, back in 1896,I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry...
44100:30:22,233 --> 00:30:25,430...and as we pulled out,there was another ferry pulling in...
44200:30:25,503 --> 00:30:28,301...and on it there was a girlwaiting to get off.
44300:30:29,106 --> 00:30:30,903A white dress she had on.
44400:30:30,975 --> 00:30:33,466She was carrying a white parasol.
44500:30:33,778 --> 00:30:36,269I only saw her for one second.
44600:30:36,347 --> 00:30:41,808She didn't see me at all,but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since...
447
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
35/113
00:30:42,686 --> 00:30:45,246...that I haven't thought of that girl.
44800:30:45,756 --> 00:30:49,954- Who else have you been to see?- Well, I went down to Atlantic City.
44900:30:50,027 --> 00:30:51,961Susie?
45000:30:52,096 --> 00:30:53,427Thank you.
45100:30:53,998 --> 00:30:56,865I called her myself the day after he died.
45200:30:57,201 --> 00:30:59,601I thought maybe somebody ought to.
45300:31:00,905 --> 00:31:05,205- She couldn't even come to the phone.- I'll be seeing her again in a couple of days.
45400:31:05,276 --> 00:31:07,267About Rosebud, Mr.Bernstein.
45500:31:07,511 --> 00:31:11,140If you'd talk about anything connectedwith Mr.Kane that you can remember.
45600:31:11,215 --> 00:31:13,149You were with him from the beginning.
45700:31:13,217 --> 00:31:18,621From before the beginning, young fellow.And now it's after the end.
45800:31:19,657 --> 00:31:22,023Have you tried to see anybody
except Susie?
45900:31:22,092 --> 00:31:26,426I haven't seen anybody else, but I'vebeen through Walter Thatcher's journal.
46000:31:26,497 --> 00:31:30,991- That man was the biggest fool I ever met.
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
36/113
- He made an awful lot of money.
46100:31:31,068 --> 00:31:33,866Well, it's no trick to make a lot of money...
46200:31:34,371 --> 00:31:39,604...if all you want is to make a lot of money.
46300:31:42,179 --> 00:31:47,515You take Mr.Kane.It wasn't money he wanted.
46400:31:49,753 --> 00:31:53,951Thatcher never did figure him out.Sometimes even I couldn't.
46500:31:54,124 --> 00:31:57,525You know who you ought to see?Mr.Leland.
46600:31:57,728 --> 00:32:00,788He was Mr.Kane's closest friend.They went to school together.
46700:32:00,865 --> 00:32:02,059Harvard?
46800:32:02,132 --> 00:32:05,795Oh, Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Cornell, Switzerland.
46900:32:05,870 --> 00:32:08,498He was thrown out of a lot of colleges.
47000:32:08,739 --> 00:32:11,367Mr.Leland never had a nickel.
47100:32:11,675 --> 00:32:14,701One of those families
where the father is worth $10 million...
47200:32:14,778 --> 00:32:19,078...then one day he shoots himself,and it turns out there's nothing but debts.
47300:32:20,751 --> 00:32:22,981He was with Mr.Kane and me...
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
37/113
47400:32:23,988 --> 00:32:26,923...the first day Mr.Kane took overthe Inquirer.
47500:32:34,598 --> 00:32:37,066Take a good look at it, Jedediah.
47600:32:37,334 --> 00:32:41,202It's going to look a lot differentone of these days. Come on.
47700:32:49,980 --> 00:32:53,279There ain't no bedrooms in this joint.That's a newspaper building.
47800:32:53,350 --> 00:32:58,151You're getting paid, mister,for opinions or for hauling?
47900:33:00,958 --> 00:33:03,859- Jedediah.- After you, Mr.Kane.

48500:33:34,858 --> 00:33:37,793Our new dramatic critic.I hope I haven't made a mistake.

49000:33:46,904 --> 00:33:49,270I thought it would be a nice little gesture.

- No?
49500:34:03,053 --> 00:34:06,079Except to get out a newspaper.
49600:34:10,327 --> 00:34:12,693- Mr.Bernstein.- Yes, Mr.Kane.
49700:34:12,763 --> 00:34:15,129

50400:34:37,388 --> 00:34:41,381
Mr.Carter, I'm going to live right herein your office as long as I have to.
50500:34:42,493 --> 00:34:44,461Live here? Yes?

00:34:55,873 --> 00:34:59,434- The news goes on for 24 hours a day.- 24?

00:35:02,980 --> 00:35:04,675It's impossible....
51300:35:04,748 --> 00:35:09,776I've drawn that cartoon.I'm no good as a cartoonist.
51400:35:09,853 --> 00:35:11,445You certainly aren't.
51500:35:11,522 --> 00:35:13,353You're the dramatic critic, Leland.
51600:35:13,424 --> 00:35:15,392- You still eating?- I'm still hungry.
51700:35:15,459 --> 00:35:17,950Here's a front-page story in the Chronicle...
51800:35:18,028 --> 00:35:21,156...about a Mrs.Harry Silverstonein Brooklyn who's missing.
51900:35:21,231 --> 00:35:25,861She's probably murdered. Why isn'tthere something about it in the Inquirer?
52000:35:25,936 --> 00:35:27,733
We're running a newspaper...
52100:35:27,805 --> 00:35:30,740- I'm absolutely starving to death.- ...not a scandal sheet.
52200:35:31,642 --> 00:35:32,870That's all right.
52300:35:32,943 --> 00:35:36,936
Mr.Carter, here is a three-column headlinein the Chronicle.
52400:35:37,014 --> 00:35:39,574Why hasn't the Inquirera three-column headline?
52500:35:39,650 --> 00:35:41,117
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
41/113
The news wasn't big enough.
52600:35:41,185 --> 00:35:45,918Mr.Carter, if the headline is big enough,it makes the news big enough.
52700:35:45,989 --> 00:35:48,617- That's right!- The murder of Mrs.Harry Silverstone--
52800:35:48,692 --> 00:35:50,887There's no proofthat she was murdered, or dead.
52900:35:50,961 --> 00:35:53,828It says she's missing.The neighbors are getting suspicious.
53000:35:53,897 --> 00:35:56,798
It's not our functionto report the gossip of housewives.
53100:35:56,867 --> 00:36:01,099If we were interested in that kind of thing,we could fill the paper twice over, daily.
53200:36:01,171 --> 00:36:04,538That's the kind of thing we are going to beinterested in from now on.
53300:36:04,608 --> 00:36:07,600I want you to send your best manto see Mr.Silverstone.
53400:36:07,678 --> 00:36:11,546Have him tell Mr.Silverstone if he doesn'tproduce his wife, Mrs.Silverstone...
53500:36:11,615 --> 00:36:13,708...the Inquirer will have him arrested.
53600:36:13,784 --> 00:36:16,275Tell Mr.Silverstonehe's a detective from....

53900:36:23,727 --> 00:36:27,561...your man is to get indignantand call Mr.Silverstone an anarchist.
54000:36:27,798 --> 00:36:31,029Loudly, so the neighbors can hear.You ready for dinner, Jedediah?
54100:36:31,101 --> 00:36:34,366I can't see that the functionof a respectable newspaper--

55200:37:16,213 --> 00:37:19,114You only made the paper overfour times tonight, that's all.
55300:37:19,349 --> 00:37:22,807I've changed the front page a little,Mr.Bernstein. That's not enough.
55400:37:22,886 --> 00:37:27,118There's something I've got to get intothis paper besides pictures and print.
555
00:37:27,691 --> 00:37:30,819I've got to make the New York Inquireras important to New York...

56100:37:46,009 --> 00:37:47,704These'll be kept.

58200:38:49,673 --> 00:38:53,734I have a hunch it might turn outto be something pretty important.

58400:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,716

59300:39:56,673 --> 00:40:01,770Six years ago, I looked at a pictureof the world's greatest newspaper men.
59400:40:01,845 --> 00:40:04,075I felt like a kid in front of a candy store.
59500:40:04,147 --> 00:40:08,140Tonight, six years later,I got my candy, all of it.
59600:40:08,685 --> 00:40:10,653Welcome, gentlemen, to the Inquirer.

70600:47:09,806 --> 00:47:13,105Before he's through,she'll be a president's wife.
70700:47:21,484 --> 00:47:24,885The way things turned out,I don't need to tell you.

55/113
70800:47:24,954 --> 00:47:27,684Miss Emily Norton was no rosebud.
70900:47:27,791 --> 00:47:29,884It didn't end very well, did it?
71000:47:30,326 --> 00:47:31,588It ended.
71100:47:32,695 --> 00:47:36,187Then there was Susie. That ended, too.
71200:47:38,501 --> 00:47:41,129You know, Mr.Thompson, I was thinking...
71300:47:41,938 --> 00:47:44,873...this Rosebudyou're trying to find out about....
71400:47:46,109 --> 00:47:47,440Yes?
71500:47:51,848 --> 00:47:54,248Maybe that was something he lost.
71600:47:55,084 --> 00:47:58,451Mr.Kane was a man who lostalmost everything he had.
71700:47:59,122 --> 00:48:01,386You ought to see Jed Leland.
71800:48:01,458 --> 00:48:04,655Of course, he and Mr.Kanedidn't exactly see eye to eye.
71900:48:04,727 --> 00:48:06,718You take the Spanish-American war.
72000:48:06,796 --> 00:48:10,163I guess Mr.Leland was right.That was Mr.Kane's war.
72100:48:10,233 --> 00:48:13,225We didn't really have anythingto fight about.
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
56/113
72200:48:14,003 --> 00:48:17,598Do you think if it hadn't been for that warof Mr.Kane's...
72300:48:17,907 --> 00:48:20,671...we'd have the Panama Canal?
72400:48:21,311 --> 00:48:23,802I wish I knew where Mr.Leland was.
72500:48:24,414 --> 00:48:27,577A lot of the time nowthey don't tell me these things.
72600:48:28,885 --> 00:48:30,716Maybe even he's dead.
727
00:48:30,820 --> 00:48:32,549In case you'd like to know...
72800:48:32,622 --> 00:48:35,591...he's at the Huntington Memorial Hospitalon 180th Street.
72900:48:35,658 --> 00:48:37,148You don't say. I had--
730
00:48:37,227 --> 00:48:40,128Nothing particular the matter with him,they tell me, just....
73100:48:40,196 --> 00:48:42,790Just old age.
73200:48:44,100 --> 00:48:49,003It's the only disease that you don'tlook forward to being cured of.
73300:49:01,117 --> 00:49:03,984I can remember absolutely everything,young man.
73400:49:04,053 --> 00:49:05,350That's my curse.
735
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
57/113
00:49:05,421 --> 00:49:09,983That's one of the greatest cursesever inflicted on the human race: memory.
73600:49:10,960 --> 00:49:15,795I was his oldest friend, and as far asI was concerned, he behaved like a swine.
73700:49:16,032 --> 00:49:20,128Not that Charlie was ever brutal.He just did brutal things.
73800:49:20,904 --> 00:49:25,170Maybe I wasn't his friend,but if I wasn't, he never had one.
73900:49:25,441 --> 00:49:29,036Maybe I was what you nowadayscall a stooge.
74000:49:29,112 --> 00:49:31,478You were about to say somethingabout Rosebud.
74100:49:31,548 --> 00:49:33,778Do you happen to have a good cigar?
74200:49:33,850 --> 00:49:37,718I've got a young physician herewho thinks I'm going to give up smoking.
74300:49:37,787 --> 00:49:40,085No, I'm afraid I haven't. Sorry.
74400:49:40,423 --> 00:49:42,118I changed the subject, didn't l?
74500:49:42,191 --> 00:49:44,659What a disagreeable old manI have become.
74600:49:45,595 --> 00:49:50,430You're a reporter and you want to knowwhat I think about Charlie Kane.
74700:49:53,870 --> 00:49:56,395I suppose he had some private sortof greatness.

58/113
74800:49:56,472 --> 00:49:58,201But he kept it to himself.
74900:49:58,274 --> 00:50:01,243He never gave himself away.He never gave anything away.
75000:50:01,311 --> 00:50:04,303He just left you a tip.
75100:50:05,782 --> 00:50:07,181He had a generous mind.
75200:50:07,250 --> 00:50:10,447I don't suppose anybodyever had so many opinions.
753
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:13,450But he never believed in anythingexcept Charlie Kane.
75400:50:13,523 --> 00:50:17,152He never had a convictionexcept Charlie Kane in his life.
75500:50:17,427 --> 00:50:19,657I suppose he died without one.
75600:50:19,796 --> 00:50:22,390That must have been pretty unpleasant.
75700:50:22,732 --> 00:50:27,396Of course, a lot of us check out withouthaving any special convictions about death.
75800:50:27,470 --> 00:50:30,735But we do know what we're leaving.We do believe in something.
75900:50:31,407 --> 00:50:34,467Are you absolutely sureyou haven't got a cigar?
76000:50:34,611 --> 00:50:36,602- Sorry, Mr.Leland.- Never mind.
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
59/113
76100:50:36,679 --> 00:50:40,308- What do you know about Rosebud?- "Rosebud"?
76200:50:41,284 --> 00:50:44,515His dying words: "Rosebud."
76300:50:44,854 --> 00:50:46,947I saw that in the Inquirer.
76400:50:47,957 --> 00:50:50,949I never believed anythingI saw in the Inquirer.
76500:50:51,027 --> 00:50:52,460Anything else?
766
00:50:52,528 --> 00:50:56,225I can tell you about Emily.I went to dancing school with Emily.
76700:50:56,633 --> 00:50:58,396I was very graceful.
76800:50:59,369 --> 00:51:02,736- We were talking about the first Mrs.Kane.- What was she like?
76900:51:02,805 --> 00:51:05,330She was like all the girls I knewin dancing school.
77000:51:05,408 --> 00:51:08,434Very nice girl. Emily was a little nicer.
77100:51:09,912 --> 00:51:11,971After the first couple of months...
77200:51:12,048 --> 00:51:16,348...she and Charlie didn't see muchof each other except at breakfast.
77300:51:17,020 --> 00:51:19,682It was a marriagejust like any other marriage.

77400:51:29,899 --> 00:51:31,594- You're beautiful.- I can't be.
77500:51:31,668 --> 00:51:33,431Yes, you are. You're very beautiful.
77600:51:33,503 --> 00:51:36,063I've never been to six partiesin one night before.
77700:51:36,305 --> 00:51:39,069- I've never been up this late.- It's a matter of habit.
77800:51:39,142 --> 00:51:42,111- What will the servants think?- That we enjoyed ourselves.
77900:51:42,178 --> 00:51:44,703Why do you have to go straight offto the newspaper?
78000:51:44,781 --> 00:51:48,478You never should've married anewspaperman, they're worse than sailors.
78100:51:49,419 --> 00:51:51,319I absolutely adore you.
78200:51:52,155 --> 00:51:55,090Charles, even newspapermenhave to sleep.
78300:51:56,559 --> 00:51:59,995I'll call Mr.Bernstein and have himput off my appointments till noon.
78400:52:01,330 --> 00:52:02,422
What time is it?
78500:52:03,066 --> 00:52:04,727I don't know. It's late.
78600:52:07,070 --> 00:52:09,038It's early.
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519

78700:52:09,138 --> 00:52:10,833Charles....
78800:52:11,441 --> 00:52:14,410Do you know how longyou kept me waiting last night...
78900:52:14,477 --> 00:52:17,310...when you went to the newspaperfor 10 minutes?
79000:52:17,547 --> 00:52:20,744What do you do in a newspaperin the middle of the night?
79100:52:20,883 --> 00:52:25,877My dear, your only correspondentis the Inquirer.
79200:52:25,955 --> 00:52:28,753Sometimes I think I'd prefer a rivalof flesh and blood.
79300:52:28,825 --> 00:52:31,385I don't spend that much timeon the newspaper.
79400:52:31,461 --> 00:52:35,557It isn't just the time.
It's what you print, attacking the President.
79500:52:35,631 --> 00:52:38,862- You mean Uncle John.- I mean the President of the United States.
79600:52:38,935 --> 00:52:41,403He's still Uncle Johnand a well-meaning fathead...
797
00:52:41,471 --> 00:52:44,872...who's letting a pack of high-pressurecrooks run his administration.
79800:52:44,941 --> 00:52:48,741- This whole oil scandal--- He happens to be the President, not you.
799
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
62/113
00:52:48,811 --> 00:52:51,644That's a mistake that will be correctedone of these days.
80000:52:51,714 --> 00:52:56,981Your Mr.Bernstein sent Juniorthe most incredible atrocity yesterday.
80100:52:57,954 --> 00:53:00,650I simply can't have it in the nursery.
80200:53:02,759 --> 00:53:06,058Mr.Bernstein is apt to pay a visitto the nursery now and then.
80300:53:06,129 --> 00:53:07,721Does he have to?
80400:53:08,765 --> 00:53:09,823
Yes.
80500:53:09,932 --> 00:53:14,369- Really, Charles, people will think--- What I tell them to think.
80600:53:33,189 --> 00:53:35,214Wasn't he ever in love with her?
80700:53:35,391 --> 00:53:37,154
He married for love.
80800:53:38,060 --> 00:53:39,425Love.
80900:53:40,096 --> 00:53:41,825That is why he did everything.
81000:53:41,898 --> 00:53:44,867That's why he went into politics.
It seems we weren't enough.
81100:53:44,934 --> 00:53:47,994He wanted all the voters to love him, too.
81200:53:48,671 --> 00:53:51,196All he wanted out of life was love.
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
63/113
81300:53:52,008 --> 00:53:55,239That's Charlie's story. How he lost it.
81400:53:55,444 --> 00:53:58,641You see, he just didn't have any to give.
81500:53:59,649 --> 00:54:02,447He loved Charlie Kane, of course.
81600:54:03,052 --> 00:54:04,451Very dearly.
81700:54:05,188 --> 00:54:07,418And his mother,I guess he always loved her.
81800:54:07,490 --> 00:54:10,550- How about his second wife?
- Susan Alexander?
81900:54:11,327 --> 00:54:13,488You know what Charlie called her?
82000:54:13,696 --> 00:54:16,460The day after he'd met her,he told me about her.
82100:54:16,632 --> 00:54:21,535
He said she was"a cross-section of the American public."
82200:54:23,773 --> 00:54:27,402I guess he couldn't help it.She must have had something for him.
82300:54:27,543 --> 00:54:30,307That first night, according to Charlie...
824
00:54:31,380 --> 00:54:33,746...all she had was a toothache.
82500:55:04,780 --> 00:55:07,305What are you laughing at, young lady?
82600:55:09,185 --> 00:55:11,949- What's the matter with you?
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
64/113
- Toothache.
82700:55:12,021 --> 00:55:13,784- What?- Toothache.
82800:55:13,856 --> 00:55:15,187Toothache?
82900:55:18,628 --> 00:55:20,653You mean you've got a toothache.
83000:55:21,564 --> 00:55:24,465- What's funny about that?- You're funny, mister.
83100:55:24,533 --> 00:55:27,127- You've got dirt on your face.- Not dirt, it's mud.
83200:55:27,203 --> 00:55:29,501Do you want some hot water?I live right here.
83300:55:29,572 --> 00:55:31,540What's that, young lady?
83400:55:32,808 --> 00:55:35,242I said, if you wanted some hot water...
83500:55:35,544 --> 00:55:39,708...I could get you some...hot water.
83600:55:43,319 --> 00:55:45,617All right, thank you very much.
83700:55:59,969 --> 00:56:01,937Do I look any better now?
83800:56:02,004 --> 00:56:06,737- This medicine doesn't do a bit of good.- What you need is to get your mind off it.
83900:56:11,914 --> 00:56:15,042Excuse me, but my landladyprefers me to keep this door open...
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
65/113
84000:56:15,284 --> 00:56:18,276- ...when I have a gentleman caller.- All right.
84100:56:18,354 --> 00:56:20,447You have got a toothache, haven't you?
84200:56:20,523 --> 00:56:23,583- I surely have.- Why don't you try laughing at me again?
84300:56:23,659 --> 00:56:25,627- What?- I'm still pretty funny.
84400:56:25,695 --> 00:56:28,289I know, but you don't want meto laugh at you.
84500:56:28,364 --> 00:56:30,423I don't want your tooth to hurt, either.
84600:56:30,499 --> 00:56:31,796Look at me.
84700:56:32,234 --> 00:56:33,360See that?
848
00:56:33,436 --> 00:56:34,767What are you doing?
84900:56:34,837 --> 00:56:37,328I'm wiggling both my earsat the same time.
85000:56:39,508 --> 00:56:41,305That's it, smile.
851
00:56:43,980 --> 00:56:47,814It took me two solid years at the bestboys' school in the world to learn that.
85200:56:47,883 --> 00:56:51,080The fellow who taught meis now president of Venezuela.

00:56:53,022 --> 00:56:54,455That's it!
85400:56:58,260 --> 00:57:00,854- Is it a giraffe?- No, not a giraffe.
85500:57:00,930 --> 00:57:03,831- I bet it is.- What?
85600:57:03,899 --> 00:57:06,026Well, then it's an elephant.
85700:57:06,202 --> 00:57:09,933- It's supposed to be a rooster.- A rooster!
85800:57:10,439 --> 00:57:14,273
You know an awful lot of tricks.Are you a professional magician?
85900:57:14,343 --> 00:57:16,937- No, I'm not a magician.- I was just joking.
86000:57:17,013 --> 00:57:18,674You really don't know who I am?
861
00:57:18,748 --> 00:57:21,842You told me your name, Mr.Kane,but I'm awfully ignorant.
86200:57:21,917 --> 00:57:26,411I guess you caught on to that.I bet I've heard your name a million times.
86300:57:26,589 --> 00:57:29,683You really like me, though,even though you don't know who I am?
86400:57:29,759 --> 00:57:33,217I surely do. You've been wonderful.
86500:57:34,296 --> 00:57:37,026Without you I don't knowwhat I would have done.
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
67/113
86600:57:37,099 --> 00:57:40,432I had a toothache,and I don't know many people.
86700:57:40,736 --> 00:57:42,636I know too many people.
86800:57:43,072 --> 00:57:45,097I guess we're both lonely.
86900:57:45,408 --> 00:57:49,367Want to know what I was going to dobefore I ruined my best Sunday clothes?
87000:57:49,445 --> 00:57:52,710I bet they're not your best Sunday clothes.You probably have more.
871
00:57:52,782 --> 00:57:53,976I was just joking.
87200:57:55,718 --> 00:57:59,654I was on my wayto the Western Manhattan Warehouse...
87300:57:59,722 --> 00:58:01,747...in search of my youth.
874
00:58:02,825 --> 00:58:07,455You see, my mother died a long time ago.Her things were put in storage out West.
87500:58:07,530 --> 00:58:09,998There wasn't any other place to put them.
87600:58:10,066 --> 00:58:14,127I thought I'd send for them now.Tonight I was going to take a look at them.
87700:58:14,203 --> 00:58:16,433A sort of sentimental journey.
87800:58:20,009 --> 00:58:22,341I run a couple of newspapers.What do you do?
879
7/28/2019 Citizen Kane English 17519
68/113
00:58:22,411 --> 00:58:23,435Me?
88000:58:23,712 --> 00:58:25,942- How old did you say you were?- I didn't say.
88100:58:26,015 --> 00:58:28,711If you had, I wouldn't have asked you.
88200:58:28,784 --> 00:58:30,046- How old?- Pretty old.
88300:58:30,119 --> 00:58:32,212- How old?- Twenty-two in August.
88400:58:32,288 --> 00:58:34,313
That's a ripe old age. What do you do?
88500:58:34,390 --> 00:58:37,848I work at Seligman's.I'm in charge of the sheet music.
88600:58:38,127 --> 00:58:42,723- Is that what you want to do?- No, I wanted to be a singer, I guess.
887
00:58:43,466 --> 00:58:47,061- That is, I didn't. My mother did for me.- What happened to the singing?
88800:58:47,136 --> 00:58:51,163Mother always thought, she always talkedabout grand opera for me.
88900:58:51,240 --> 00:58:52,468Imagine.
89000:58:52,741 --> 00:58:56,973But my voice isn't that kind.It's just, you know what mothers are like.
89100:58:58,747 --> 00:58:59,975Yes.

89300:59:05,788 --> 00:59:07,585Yes, there's one in the parlor.
89400:59:07,656 --> 00:59:10,716- Would you sing for me?- You wouldn't want to hear me sing.
89500:59:10,793 --> 00:59:12,192Yes, I would.
89600:59:13,963 --> 00:59:16,227Don't tell meyour toothache is bothering you.
89700:59:16,298 --> 00:59:18,027
No, that's all gone.
89800:59:19,770 --> 00:59:21,738All right.
89900:59:22,706 --> 00:59:24,469Let's go to the parlor.

There is only one manwho can rid the politics...
90701:00:09,787 --> 01:00:13,086...of this state of the evil dominationof Boss Jim Gettys.
90801:00:13,157 --> 01:00:17,059I am speaking of Charles Foster Kane,the fighting liberal...
90901:00:17,127 --> 01:00:20,688...the friend of the workingman,the next governor of this state...
91001:00:20,764 --> 01:00:23,028...who entered upon this campaign....
91101:00:23,100 --> 01:00:25,068
...with one purpose only:
91201:00:25,135 --> 01:00:29,504To point outand make public the dishonesty...
91301:00:29,740 --> 01:00:34,541...the downright villainyof Boss Jim W. Gettys' political machine...
914
01:00:34,845 --> 01:00:39,179...now in complete controlof the government of this state.
91501:00:39,616 --> 01:00:43,382I made no campaign promises...
91601:00:43,887 --> 01:00:48,517...because, until a few weeks ago,I had no hope of being elected.
91701:00:50,160 --> 01:00:54,324Now, however, I have something morethan a hope.
91801:00:57,568 --> 01:01:00,093Jim Gettys has something lessthan a chance.

91901:01:04,508 --> 01:01:06,408Every straw vote...
92001:01:06,577 --> 01:01:11,412...every independent poll showsthat I will be elected.
92101:01:11,849 --> 01:01:13,544Very well.
92201:01:13,717 --> 01:01:16,481Now I can afford to make some promises.
92301:01:26,764 --> 01:01:28,925The workingman and the slum child...
92401:01:28,999 --> 01:01:34,164...know they can expect
my best efforts in their interests.
92501:01:34,238 --> 01:01:38,800The decent, ordinary citizens knowthat I'll do everything in my power...
92601:01:38,876 --> 01:01:44,075...to protect the underprivileged,the underpaid, and the underfed.
927
01:01:48,018 --> 01:01:52,387- Mother, is Pop governor yet?- Not yet, Junior.
92801:01:56,260 --> 01:01:59,627I'd make my promises now...
92901:01:59,930 --> 01:02:03,388...if I weren't too busyarranging to keep them.
93001:02:07,971 --> 01:02:10,963But here's one promise I'll make...
93101:02:11,074 --> 01:02:14,100...and Boss Jim Gettys knows I'll keep it.
93201:02:15,412 --> 01:02:18,245

My first official actas governor of this state...
93301:02:18,649 --> 01:02:23,518...will be to appoint a special districtattorney to arrange for the indictment...
93401:02:23,754 --> 01:02:29,454...prosecution and convictionof Boss Jim W. Gettys.
93501:02:55,686 --> 01:02:58,883If the election were held today,you'd be in by 100,000 votes.
93601:02:58,956 --> 01:03:00,821- Gettys isn't even pretending.- Pop.
937
01:03:00,891 --> 01:03:03,052- Hello, son.- He isn't just scared, he's sick.
93801:03:03,126 --> 01:03:05,959It's beginning to dawn on Jim GettysI mean what I say.
93901:03:06,029 --> 01:03:09,396- Did you like your old man's speech?- I could hear every word.
94001:03:09,466 --> 01:03:11,127- Hello, Emily.- Hold it.
94101:03:11,702 --> 01:03:14,364- Great speech, Mr.Kane.- Wonderful.
94201:03:14,438 --> 01:03:16,770
Will you get us a taxi?
94301:03:18,141 --> 01:03:21,042I'm sending Junior homein the car with Oliver.
94401:03:21,411 --> 01:03:23,072Good night, Father.

01:04:38,121 --> 01:04:40,919He's been saying the most terrible....
95901:04:45,228 --> 01:04:46,889Mrs.Kane.
96001:04:48,899 --> 01:04:51,390I don't supposeanybody would introduce us.
96101:04:52,869 --> 01:04:54,427I'm Jim Gettys.
96201:04:55,038 --> 01:04:56,198Yes?
96301:04:59,443 --> 01:05:03,174I made Miss Alexander send you the note,Mrs.Kane.
96401:05:03,246 --> 01:05:05,510She didn't want to at first. But she did it.
96501:05:05,582 --> 01:05:08,415Charlie, the things he said to me....He threatened to--
96601:05:09,519 --> 01:05:13,387I won't wait until I'm elected.
To start with, I think I'll break your neck.
96701:05:13,457 --> 01:05:16,221Maybe you can do it, and maybe you can't.
96801:05:17,294 --> 01:05:21,424Your breaking this man's neckwould scarcely explain this note:
96901:05:22,399 --> 01:05:26,233
"Serious consequences for Mr.Kane,for yourself and for your son."
97001:05:26,303 --> 01:05:29,329- He wanted to get her to come here--- What does this note mean?

I'm Susan Alexander.I know what you're thinking--
97201:05:32,075 --> 01:05:34,908- What does this note mean, Ms.Alexander?- She don't know.
97301:05:34,978 --> 01:05:37,811She sent it because I told herit wouldn't be smart not to.
97401:05:37,881 --> 01:05:41,180- Emily, this gentleman--- I'm not a gentleman.
97501:05:41,418 --> 01:05:44,285Your husband is only trying to be funnycalling me one.
976
01:05:44,354 --> 01:05:46,948I don't even know what a gentleman is.
97701:05:47,991 --> 01:05:51,222You see, my idea of a gentleman....
97801:05:54,431 --> 01:05:57,867If I owned a paper and didn't likethe way somebody was doing things...
979
01:05:57,934 --> 01:06:00,368...some politician,I'd fight him with all I had.
98001:06:00,437 --> 01:06:02,268I wouldn't show him in a convict suit...
98101:06:02,339 --> 01:06:04,705...so his family could see his picturein the paper.
98201:06:04,775 --> 01:06:08,711- You're a cheap, crooked grafter--- We're talking now about what you are.
98301:06:09,646 --> 01:06:12,479I'm fighting for my life,not just my political life.

98401:06:12,549 --> 01:06:14,744- He said unless you--- That's what I said.
98501:06:14,818 --> 01:06:18,811Here's the chance I'm willing to give him.It's more of a chance than he'd give me.
98601:06:18,889 --> 01:06:23,656Unless he decides by tomorrow thathe's so sick he has to go away for a year...
98701:06:23,727 --> 01:06:28,027...Monday morning, all papers in the state,except his, will carry the story I'll give.
98801:06:28,098 --> 01:06:29,497What story?
98901:06:30,300 --> 01:06:33,463- The story about him and Ms.Alexander.- There isn't any story!
99001:06:33,537 --> 01:06:34,765Shut up.
99101:06:35,138 --> 01:06:37,936We've got evidence that would look badin the headlines.
99201:06:38,008 --> 01:06:40,670Do you want me to give you the evidence?
99301:06:42,779 --> 01:06:45,612I'd rather he withdrewwithout having the story published.
99401:06:45,682 --> 01:06:48,742Not that I care about him,
but I'd be better off that way.
99501:06:51,688 --> 01:06:53,781So would you, Mrs.Kane.
99601:06:54,191 --> 01:06:56,250What about me?

101201:08:01,158 --> 01:08:03,490...to take the love of the peopleaway from me?
101301:08:03,560 --> 01:08:06,324You got other things to think about.Your little boy.
101401:08:06,463 --> 01:08:08,931You don't want him to read about youin the papers.
101501:08:08,999 --> 01:08:13,527There's only one person in the worldto decide what I'll do. And that's me.
101601:08:16,373 --> 01:08:19,934You decided what you were going to do,Charles, some time ago.
101701:08:27,184 --> 01:08:29,846You're making a bigger fool of yourselfthan I thought.
101801:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,286
- I've got nothing to say to you.- You're licked--
101901:08:32,355 --> 01:08:35,756Get out. If you want to see me,have the warden write me a letter.
102001:08:35,992 --> 01:08:40,656If it was anybody else, I'd say what's goingto happen to you would be a lesson to you.
102101:08:40,931 --> 01:08:43,627Only you're going to needmore than one lesson.
102201:08:44,467 --> 01:08:48,494- And you'll get more than one lesson.- Don't worry about me, Gettys.
