I don't think I've ever been so thrilled in my life.
I'm about to ask for a roll-call on the passage of the resolution.
- Tell us about yourself. - I hear you've got a boys club.
I'm taking the next plane home. So long.
Senator Smith has now talked for 23 hours and 16 minutes.
Looks like the night shift's coming on.
I am sick and tired of this contemptible young man!
- What's your first name? - Why?
Secretary to a leader of squirts.
No.
That's why they sent you here. You don't know a dam from a bathtub.
Mr Paine does.

He bought it the day following his appointment to the Senate -
Son, don't miss the wonders that surround you.
Gentlemen! Gentlemen, please address the chair!
- That great men handed down to the human race!
The struggling editor and the struggling lawyer.
Twelve noon.
Come right in, Mr Smith. Right this way.
You know that you fight harder for the lost causes.
My ancestors couldn't. I can. And my children will.
You know what he'll do tomorrow before taking that Senate seat?
If we yield to blackmail from this man, we'll become a laughing stock!
But I pointed out that a dam was going up on the very site he had chosen.
- All ready, Clarissa. - She called me Clarissa!
Smith was caught red-handed stealing from boys.
What would this set the government back?
- One man muzzling a whole state? - And how!
- A jar of preserves from your mother. - You did, huh?
I'm going to tell Ma all about you.
If you want to throw out Section 40, I'll resign.
Meet the majority leader. He'll be a good friend.
The usual thing, criminal, blocking a relief bill. -
Mr President.
If you thought as much about being honest as you do about being smart...
- Ten to one they've got a man. - Relax, Happy. Stop having kittens.
Tell Senator Paine.
However it happened, this boy's a Senator. This is Washington, Jim!
- Who let you in? - Why aren't you chasing ambulances?
If I give you a raft of it now over the phone. -
Turn the ballyhoo boys loose. It's the greatest appointment ever made.
Daniel Webster sat here?
When they hear my story, they'll kick Mr Taylor's machine to kingdom come.
All right, then. After all, what's it to me?
- And blew you up to look like a senator. And now you can't stand it.
She's a beautiful woman.
Ask him.
- Where are we now? - Over in the House.
At that old roll-top desk, still with his hat on.
I don't want any part of crucifying this boy.
- To be bought by contributions from boys all over America.
- If I voted for a dam that he knew, and I knew, was a fraud.
Yeah? Buy it or wreck it!
- Will the Senator yield for a question? - I yield.
- I see that. - Good.
This country is bigger than the Taylors, you or me or anything else.
So did every man who ever tried to lift his thought up off the ground.
Let him know right away.
- Boy, am I tired! - Call all the hospitals. Hurry up.
Stall their deliveries, push them off the streets!
You think I'm licked. You all think I'm licked.
- Setting over these 200 acres in the name of Jefferson Smith.
That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men. -
- Deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; -
All right, boys, hurry up.
I won't let you stand there callously and wreck my political future.
- Starving the people. Joe, will you get back into that Senate!
They're liable to look at you with hurt faces and say:
Among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of...
- That it is definitely in Jefferson Smith's own handwriting.
I've got that Saunders business straightened out now.
Any friend of Joe's is a friend of mine.
Either it's lots of reporters and lots of tickets or...
About like a son, in fact. I don't want to see you get hurt.
As long as that man holds the floor!
Quit stalling and move!
You've got more sense than to put Nosey on to that guy.
If you're ready, we'll go over to the hotel. Paine's waiting for you.
I'm not fit to be a senator! I'm not fit to live!
There are a lot of fancy words here.
There's no compromise with the truth. That's all I got the floor to say.
- What will you tell the kids back home? - The truth.
And all to defend the right of one small miner who stuck to his claim.
- A day. - A day?!
- As one woman to another, of course. - Thanks, Saunders.
Thank you again for your time, sir. Good night.
