A man named Pepe speaks to another man about not liking his association with someone named Regis, using a clock metaphor. The scene takes place indoors with several men present, one of whom is seated and handling cards.
“I would like it better if you didn't hang around so much with Regis. Why?” 32:27 · “Did you ever see a clock that pointed to two and struck four? Well, it is really quarter past twelve. Well, your friend Regis is like that. He doesn't ring two. That's what you say, but you can't prove it. Well, if I say so, that's enough. Regis gets along all right with me. Well, that's why I'm telling you. I don't like it. Well, I do. In business, I'll do anything you say, Pepe.” 32:33 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
