Transcript

With his faithful valet Cato, Brit read daring young publisher matches wits with the underworld, risking his life that criminals and racketeers within the law may feel it's weight by the sting of the green Hornet. Right with Brit read as he races toward another thrilling adventurer, the green Hornet strikes again.

Here's where we smash your political racket. You don't care how you get it curly, but I want the boss in the fifth ward. That's going to turn I want to turn my way. The Fifth War is pretty independent, harder. Not like some of the others.

I'm not worried about the others. It figures out to be a close race curling. I have the south side, so do not. I want the fifth. Bradford is going to take the north side. That's why I want the fifth. If you can't deliver it for me, I'll get someone else.

If it costs plenty. I've got plenty. What do you think I've been doing while I've been in office? Twiddling my thumbs? If it costs 20,000, 30, 50,000, I want the fifth ward. Could you use some of that dough to get the sentin' out and lay off?

You playing them, Curly? Why not? Curly, you can never understand anybody being honest, could you? Everybody's got his price. Yes. Yes, that's why I don't trust you anymore than I have to. Okay. Same for you with me. So long as you pay the dough, I work for you.

If I wasn't paying off and votes, you'd wash me off the books. And you think that's the way it is with a sentinel? Everybody wants dough. Cooney, we want money and power. I have both, but you'll never get power no matter how much money you get, for one reason.
