Citizen Kane (1941) Edit

A boarder that beats his bill and leaves worthless stock behind...

A Burmese temple and three Spanish ceilings down the hall.

A certain man A certain man

A collection of everything.

A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember.

A little newspaper we acquired in a foreclosure proceeding.

A lot of money to pay for a dame without a head.

A missing piece.

A person could go crazy in this dump.

A potent figure of our century...

A regular crow, eh?

A sort of sentimental journey.

A thousand dollars?

A toast to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody knows:

A white dress she had on.

After the first couple of months...

All he wanted out of life was love.

All right, Mr. Bernstein.

All right, thank you very much.

All right, Xanadu, I knew it all the time.

All right.

All right.

All these other papers panning me, I could expect that.

All these years

All we saw on that screen was that Charles Foster Kane is dead.

Allow yourself plenty of time.

Alone in his never finished, already decaying pleasure palace...

Always been an American. Anything else?

Am I a horse faced hypocrite? Am I a New England schoolmarm?

Am I through with politics? I should say vice versa.

An empire through which for 50 years...

And a happy New Year.

And for the poor you may be sure That he'll do all he can

And his mother, I guess he always loved her.

And I never went to any swell schools.

And I've only been buying for five.

And left you? Of course they'll hear.

And now, gentlemen!

And still another opinion...

And we shall seek your advice.

And when he meets one Always tries to do exactly this

And you'll get more than one lesson.

Anything and everything.

Anyway, he ain't only collecting statues.

Are we going to declare war on Spain?

Are you absolutely sure you haven't got a cigar?

Are you coming, Charles?

Are you glad to be back?

Are you singing at the Metropolitan?

As a matter of fact, just the other day, when the papers were full of it...

As Charles Foster Kane who owns 82,364 shares...

As for you, you ought to have your head examined.

As long as I can remember, you've talked about giving the people their rights...

As such it's my duty, I'll let you in on a little secret. It is also my pleasure...

As though they belong to you. Goodness.

At the rate of $1 million a year...

Before he's through, she'll be a president's wife.

Bernstein, am I a stuffed shirt?

Bernstein, Bernstein.

Bernstein, these men who are now with the Inquirer...

Bernstein, these men who were with the Chronicle...

Bernstein. His second wife. She's still living.

Better get going.

Better get going.

But he kept it to himself.

But he never believed in anything except Charlie Kane.

But here's one promise I'll make...

But I couldn't go through with the singing again.

But I did an awful lot of singing after that.

But I never imagined people wouldn't know.

But Kane papers were once strong indeed...

But my voice isn't that kind. It's just, you know what mothers are like.

But there's still one notice to come. The dramatic.

Can you prove it isn't?

Can't you people leave me alone?

Certainly not.

Charles Foster Kane.

Charles, even newspapermen have to sleep.

Charles, I think I should remind you of a fact you have forgotten.

Charles, your breaking this man's neck would scarcely explain this note:

Charles!

Charles.

Charles...

Charlie out there?

Charlie said if I didn't, he'd build me an opera house.

Charlie, I want to go to New York. I'm tired of being a hostess.

Charlie, please.

Charlie, the things he said to me.

Charlie, what time is it?

Charlie!

Charlie?

Charlie.

Charlie.

Chief, is it not, that on this occasion, Charles Foster Kane...

Chronicle's a good idea for a newspaper. Notice the circulation.

Close the door.

Come around and tell me the story of your life sometime.

Come on, boys.

Come on.

Come right in, Mr. Kane.

Conceived for Susan Alexander Kane, half finished before she divorced him...

Contents of Xanadu's palace:

Courtland 79970. This is Atlantic City 46827. All right.

Declaration of Principles.

Defeat that set back for 20 years the cause of reform in the U. S...

Diaphragm.

Did you ever find out what it means?

Did you make it yourself?

Died 1918 in a motor accident with their son.

Do I look any better now?

Do we stand for the same things the Chronicle stands for?

Do you happen to have a good cigar?

Do you know how long you kept me waiting last night...

Do you remember, boys?

Do you think if it hadn't been for that war of Mr. Kane's...

Do you want me to give you the evidence?

Do you want some hot water? I live right here.

Does he have to?

Don't believe everything you hear on the radio.

Don't forget.

Don't get nervous.

Don't sell it. I am coming back to take charge.

Don't tell me you're sorry.

Don't tell me your toothache is bothering you.

Don't worry about me!

Don't you know that our guests, that everyone will know about this?

Don't you think I do?

Don't you think you are?

Drunk, what do you care?

Eleven Kane papers merged, more sold, scrapped.

Emily Monroe Norton, she's the niece of the President of the United States.

Emily...

Enough for 10 museums, the loot of the world.

Every straw vote...

Everybody knows that story, Mr. Leland, but why did he do it?

Everything else, the principal, as well as all monies earned...

Everything was his idea...

Everything was his idea...

Everything you hate.

Except to get out a newspaper.

Excuse me, but my landlady prefers me to keep this door open...

Excuse me, sir, but I...

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Famed in American legend is the origin of the Kane fortune.

Fifty seven years later, before a congressional investigation...

Find out about Rosebud. Get in touch with anybody who knew him or knew him well.

First to a president's niece...

Five years ago he wrote from that place down there in the South.

For 40 years appeared in Kane newsprint...

For Kane, in four short years, collapse.

For there is no true love

For there is no true love

For weal or woe

For what?

For wife two, one time opera singing Susan Alexander...

For you and this public thief...

Friend. Not the kind of friends I know...

From before the beginning, young fellow. And now it's after the end.

From now on, everything will be exactly the way you want it to be.

Gee, 11:30. Shows are just getting out.

Get Dr. Corey.

Get her another highball.

Get out of here.

Get out!

Get out. If you want to see me, have the warden write me a letter.

Get the voice out of the throat

Gettys! I'm gonna send you to Sing Sing.

Gino.

Go on home.

Go on, Mr. Thatcher.

Go on, Mr. Thatcher.

Go on.

Go on.

Good evening, Mr. Kane.

Good night again.

Good night, Father.

Good night, Mr. Gettys.

Good. Rosebud, dead or alive.

Goodbye, Charlie.

Goodbye, everybody. Thanks for the use of the hall.

Goodbye, son.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Harvard?

Have him tell Mr. Silverstone if he doesn't produce his wife, Mrs. Silverstone...

Have we got a society editor?

Have you gone completely crazy?

Have you tried to see anybody except Susie?

He ain't been drinking before.

He ain't.

He certainly is.

He comes from the East.

He didn't mention anything about marriage until after it was over and...

He didn't say anything after that, and I knew he was dead.

He doesn't like that Mister He likes good old Charlie Kane

He forced me to send your wife that letter. I didn't want to.

He hadn't finished it when she left him. He never finished it.

He is today what he has always been A fascist.

He just left you a tip.

He just said:

He knows what's wrong with every copy of the Inquirer since I took over. Read.

He knows where all the bodies are buried.

He loved Charlie Kane, of course.

He married for love.

He married you, didn't he?

He never finished anything except my notice.

He never gave himself away. He never gave anything away.

He never had a conviction except Charlie Kane in his life.

He said all kinds of things that didn't mean anything.

He said my name would be dragged through the mud. That everywhere I went...

He said she was "a cross section of the American public."

He sure liked to collect things.

He thought that by finishing that notice he'd show me he was an honest man.

He wanted all the voters to love him too.

He wanted me to make sure you got this personally.

He was a man who got everything he wanted, and then lost it.

He was always trying to prove something.

He was disappointed in the world so he built his own, an absolute monarchy.

He was going to take the quotes off the singer.

He was Mr. Kane's closest friend. They went to school together.

He was really interested in my voice.

He was thrown out of a lot of colleges.

He was with Mr. Kane and me...

He's been saying the most terrible...

He's collecting somebody that's collecting diamonds.

He's still the same

He's still Uncle John and a well meaning fathead...

He's turning into something called "organized labor."

He's writing a bad notice like you wanted it to be.

Hello, Bernstein.

Hello, Charlie.

Hello, I want New York City.

Hello, Jedediah.

Hello, Jedediah.

Here he comes!

Here in Xanadu last week...

Here on the deserts of the Gulf Coast, a private mountain...

Here's a front page story in the Chronicle...

Here's a man who could've been president...

Here's the chance I'm willing to give him. It's more of a chance than he'd give me.

Hey, everybody, look out here.

Hey, nurse!

Hey.

Hey.

His own.

Hmm?

Hmm? Heh. He had a generous mind.

How about the music notice?

How did he differ from Ford, Hearst or John Doe?

How did I find business conditions in Europe, Mr. Bones?

How do you know you haven't done it before?

How much do you think all this is worth, Mr. Thompson?

How, to boarding housekeeper Mary Kane, by a defaulting boarder, in 1868...

Huh?

I always gagged on that silver spoon.

I am drunk.

I am Herbert Carter, the editor in chief.

I am interested in our son.

I am not overdressed.

I am speaking of Charles Foster Kane, the fighting liberal...

I am therefore enclosing for your consideration...

I bet they're not your best Sunday clothes. You probably have more.

I called her myself the day after he died.

I came to see you about this campaign of yours.

I can fight this all alone.

I can hear you very well if you speak in a normal tone of voice.

I can remember absolutely everything, young man.

I can remember when they'd wait all day...

I can tell you about Emily. I went to dancing school with Emily.

I can't do this to you?

I can't imagine how Mrs. Kane came to make such a foolish mistake.

I can't see that the function of a respectable newspaper...

I changed the subject, didn't I?

I couldn't make you see how I felt, Charlie.

I didn't get a thing, except music lessons. That's all there was in it.

I didn't know Charlie was collecting diamonds.

I didn't know we were speaking.

I didn't know we were speaking.

I didn't want it. I didn't want a thing. It was his idea.

I don't care to visit New York.

I don't even know what a gentleman is.

I don't know how to run a newspaper. I try everything I can think of.

I don't know.

I don't know. It's late.

I don't mean go through the city directory of course.

I don't propose to have myself made ridiculous.

I don't suppose anybody ever had so many opinions.

I don't suppose anybody would introduce us.

I don't think any word can explain a man's life.

I don't think you realize the full importance of the position you are to occupy.

I expect to lose $1 million next year.

I felt like a kid in front of a candy store.

I got a little social announcement.

I got nothing but time. What do you want to know?

I guess he couldn't help it. She must have had something for him.

I guess he's fixing it up.

I guess I'd better try to get drunk anyway.

I guess that'll show you.

I guess that'll show you.

I guess we're both lonely.

I guess you caught on to that. I bet I've heard your name a million times.

I had a toothache, and I don't know many people.

I had no idea you had this flair for melodrama, Emily.

I have a hunch it might turn out to be something pretty important.

I have sworn it

I haven't seen anybody else, but I've been through Walter Thatcher's journal.

I heard him say it that other time too.

I hope you'll forgive my rudeness in taking leave of you.

I intend to find out.

I knew I'd never get that through.

I know I've played at the game

I know that. I read the papers.

I know too many people.

I know you're tired, gentlemen, but I brought you here for a reason.

I know, but you don't want me to laugh at you.

I made Miss Alexander send you the note, Mrs. Kane.

I made no campaign promises...

I never believed anything I saw in the Inquirer.

I now realize I can't.

I only saw her for one second.

I run a couple of newspapers. What do you do?

I run several newspapers between here and San Francisco.

I said, "Are we going to declare war on Spain, or are we not?"

I said, if you wanted some hot water...

I sang for teachers at $100 an hour.

I saw that in the Inquirer.

I saw your financial statement today.

I see.

I sent him a check for $25,000.

I shall read to the committee a prepared statement...

I simply can't have it in the nursery.

I sometimes wonder...

I still can't pronounce that name.

I suppose he died without one.

I suppose he had some private sort of greatness.

I surely do. You've been wonderful.

I surely do. You've been wonderful.

I sympathize with you. Kane is a scoundrel...

I talked with the responsible leaders of England, France, Germany and Italy.

I think I'm the man to do it. You see, I have money and property.

I think if you look in the west wing...

I think it would be fun to run a newspaper.

I think it's dreadful.

I thought I'd send for them now. Tonight I was going to take a look at them.

I thought it would be a nice little gesture.

I thought maybe somebody ought to.

I thought maybe we could have a talk.

I thought we might have a picnic tomorrow.

I thought we might have a picnic tomorrow.

I thought you'd see it my way.

I want another drink, John.

I want to go to Chicago.

I want to have fun. Please, Charlie.

I want you to run this editorial in a box on the front page.

I want you to send your best man to see Mr. Silverstone.

I wanted Charlie to have fun, with me along...

I warn you, Jedediah, you won't like Chicago.

I was expelled from college, a lot of colleges, you remember? I remember.

I was his oldest friend, and as far as I was concerned, he behaved like a swine.

I was just joking.

I was on my way to the Western Manhattan Warehouse...

I was very graceful.

I will not tell them to you again.

I wish I knew where Mr. Leland was.

I wish I were a boy going on a trip like that for the first time.

I wish you wouldn't treat it any differently than you would any other...

I won't let you go.

I won't wait until I'm elected. To start with, I think I'll break your neck.

I work at Seligman's. I'm in charge of the sheet music.

I wouldn't show him in a convict suit...

I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I'd have brought him here with me, but...

I'd like to keep that particular piece of paper myself.

I'd make my promises now...

I'd rather he withdrew without having the story published.

I'd rather you'd just talk. Anything that comes into your mind...

I'd say that it'd been made for you.

I'll be the laughingstock of the musical world. People will think...

I'll bet you five you're not alive If you don't know his name

I'll call Mr. Bernstein and have him put off my appointments till noon.

I'll come with you.

I'll get drunk too, Jedediah...

I'll get on it right away.

I'll let you in on another little secret, Mr. Thatcher:

I'll tell you about Rosebud.

I'll tell you one thing you're not going to be funny about, and that's my singing.

I'm absolutely starving to death. ...not a scandal sheet.

I'm always glad to be back. I'm an American.

I'm calling from Atlantic City.

I'm chairman of the board. I got nothing but time.

I'm Charles Foster Kane!

I'm coming.

I'm fighting for my life, not just my political life.

I'm going abroad next week for a vacation.

I'm going to finish Mr. Leland's notice.

I'm Jim Gettys.

I'm lonesome.

I'm minding my own business, you mind yours.

I'm no cheap, crooked politician trying to save himself...

I'm not interested in the voters of this state right now.

I'm not interested.

I'm not saying goodbye, except to you.

I'm not sorry.

I'm sending Junior home in the car with Oliver.

I'm sorry, I can't accept it now.

I'm sorry, Mr. Thatcher. What the kid needs is a good thrashing.

I'm staying here.

I'm Susan Alexander. I know what you think...

I'm the one that gets the raspberries. Why don't you leave me alone?

I'm through. I never wanted to do it in the first place.

I'm wiggling both my ears at the same time.

I've arranged for a tutor to meet us in Chicago.

I've been working for him 11 years now...

I've changed the front page a little, Mr. Bernstein. That's not enough.

I've drawn that cartoon. I'm no good as a cartoonist.

I've got a young physician here who thinks I'm going to give up smoking.

I've got his trunk all packed.

I've got his trunk all packed.

I've got it all written out here.

I've got to make the New York Inquirer as important to New York...

I've had it packed for a week now.

I've never been to six parties in one night before.

I've promised my doctor for sometime that I would leave when I could.

I've read it, Mr. Thatcher, just let me sign it and go home.

I've seen that fellow. He's good.

I've set back the sacred cause of reform, is that it?

If anybody wants it.

If I could just have a talk with you, Miss Alexander. I'd...

If I don't look after the interests of the underprivileged, somebody else will.

If I owned a paper and didn't like the way somebody was doing things...

If I want to, I can go to court. A father has a right to.

If it was anybody else, I'd say what's going to happen to you would be a lesson to you.

If Mr. Silverstone gets suspicious and asks to see your man's badge...

If that's the way they want it, the people have made their choice.

If the election were held today, you'd be in by 100,000 votes.

If we were interested in that kind of thing, we could fill the paper twice over, daily.

If you can form such a committee, put me down for a contribution of $1000.

If you don't listen to reason, it may be too late.

If you had, I wouldn't have asked you.

If you thought I'd answer you different from what Mr. Kane tells you, I wouldn't.

If you wish, you may come with me.

If you'd discovered what Rosebud meant, I bet it would've explained everything.

If you'd talk about anything connected with Mr. Kane that you can remember.

If you're smart, you'll get in touch with Raymond. He's the butler.

Imagine.

Impossible. Impossible!

In 1916, as independent candidate for governor...

In case you haven't heard, I lost all my money and it was plenty.

In case you'd like to know...

In closing...

Invite everybody to spend the night at the Everglades.

Invite everybody. Order everybody, you mean, and make them sleep in tents.

Is that correct?

Is that really your idea of how to run a newspaper?

Is that something from him?

It can't be love

It didn't end very well, did it?

It ended.

It isn't enough to tell us what a man did...

It isn't here, Mr. Bernstein, I'm dictating it.

It isn't here, Mr. Bernstein, I'm dictating it.

It isn't just the time. It's what you print, attacking the president.

It makes a whole lot more sense than collecting statues.

It says she's missing. The neighbors are getting suspicious.

It took me two solid years at the best boys' school in the world to learn that.

It was a marriage just like any other marriage.

It was her wish that I take charge of this boy, Charles Foster Kane.

It was something bigger than an opera house anyway.

It wasn't money he wanted.

It will probably turn out to be a very simple thing.

It won't do any good. Besides you never get drunk.

It wouldn't have explained anything.

It'll make you all happy to learn that our circulation this morning...

It's a cinch I'll die richer than I was born.

It's a good short, but what it needs is an angle.

It's a good thing he promised not to send back any more statues.

It's all right, darling, go ahead.

It's all right, darling.

It's beginning to dawn on Jim Gettys I mean what I say.

It's Charlie Kane, it's Mister Kane!

It's early.

It's going to be done exactly the way I've told Mr. Thatcher.

It's going to look a lot different one of these days. Come on.

It's hardly likely that Mr. Kane could have met someone casually...

It's impossible...

It's just money. It doesn't mean anything.

It's not a habit, I do it because I like it.

It's not me at all.

It's not our function to report the gossip of housewives.

It's not your job to give your opinion of Mrs. Kane's talents.

It's obvious the people prefer Jim Gettys to me.

It's something to be played your way, according to your rules.

It's the only disease that you don't look forward to being cured of.

It's their loss.

It's you that this is being done to.

Its humble beginnings, in this ramshackle building, a dying daily.

Jennings.

Jigsaw puzzles?

Jim Gettys has something less than a chance.

Just by his action Has the traction magnates on the run

Just old age.

Kane helped to change the world...

Kane urged his country's entry into one war...

Kane, molder of mass opinion though he was...

Kane's empire, in its glory...

Legendary was the Xanadu...

Let's go to the parlor.

Let's go to the window.

Let's have the song about Charlie.

Let's shake hands. Come. I'm not that frightening, am I?

Like a moth in a blue flame

Like I tell you, the old man acted kind of funny sometimes...

Like that time his wife left.

Like the pharaohs...

Listen, Mr. Kane, he'll have them changed to his kind of newspapermen in a week.

Live here? Yes?

Lonely, of course not. We're going to have fine times together, we are.

Look at me, Mrs. Kane, darling.

Look at me.

Look, he wants to buy the world's biggest diamond.

Lost in the end Just the same

Loudly, so the neighbors can hear. You ready for dinner, Jedediah?

Love.

Make an extra copy of that picture and mail it to the Chronicle.

Marie has been packing her since morning.

Mary, I'm asking you for the last time.

Maybe even he's dead.

Maybe he told us about himself on his deathbed.

Maybe I should have.

Maybe I was what you nowadays call a stooge.

Maybe I was what you nowadays call a stooge. Huh?

Maybe I wasn't his friend, but if I wasn't, he never had one.

Maybe I'll make some teeth and whiskers.

Maybe Rosebud was something he couldn't get or something he lost.

Maybe somebody without money or property.

Maybe that was something he lost.

Maybe you can do it, and maybe you can't.

Millions.

Miss Alexander.

Miss Emily Norton was no rosebud.

Miss Townsend, this is Mr. Charles Foster Kane.

Mm hm.

Mm I wonder what it is

Mom!

Mother always thought... She always talked about grand opera for me.

Mr. Bernstein, I'd like you to meet Mr. Thatcher.

Mr. Bernstein, thank you very much, everybody, I...

Mr. Carter, here is a three column headline in the Chronicle.

Mr. Carter, I'm going to live right here in your office as long as I have to.

Mr. Carter, if the headline is big enough, it makes the news big enough.

Mr. Carter, this is Mr. Bernstein.

Mr. Charles Foster Kane, in every essence of his social beliefs...

Mr. Kane was a man who lost almost everything he had.

Mr. Kane, I'm from the Inquirer.

Mr. Kane, on behalf of all the employees of the Inquirer...

Mr. Kane...

Mr. Kane...

Mr. Kane's finishing your review just the way you started it.

Mr. Leland and Mr. Kane...

Mr. Leland is writing it from the dramatic angle?

Mr. Leland never had a nickel.

Mr. Leland, I got a cable from Mr. Kane!

Mr. Mowan wrote a swell review.

Mr. Rawlston wants the whole place photographed.

Mr. Rawlston? She won't talk.

Mr. Thatcher is going to take you on a trip with him tonight.

Mr. Thatcher, my ex guardian.

Mrs. Kane would like to see you, sir.

Mrs. Kane, I think we'll have to tell him now.

Mrs. Kane.

My allowance.

My dear, your only correspondent is the Inquirer.

My firm had been appointed trustee by Mrs. Kane...

My first official act as governor of this state...

My heart's been floating around In a puddle of tears

My little private sanctum is at your disposal.

My mother should have chosen a less reliable banker.

My reasons satisfy me, Susan.

Never. We would have heard.

News on the March.

News on the March.

No man can say.

No public man whom Kane himself did not support or denounce.

No special interests will be allowed to interfere with that truth.

No, I don't think so.

No, no, no!

No, no, no.

No, not at all. I'd like the nurse to be here too.

No, that's all gone.

No.

No.

No. I guess Rosebud is just a piece in a jigsaw puzzle.

No. Your mother won't be going right away, but she'll...

Nobody to talk to, nobody to have any fun with.

Not interested?

Not much, really.

Not that Charlie was ever brutal. He just did brutal things.

Not that I care about him, but I'd be better off that way.

Not the way I think you want it...

Not what it means to me.

Nothing particular the matter with him, they tell me, just...

Now I can afford to make some promises.

Now is it, Joe, no, no, no

Now, however, I have something more than a hope.

Of course, a lot of us check out without having any special convictions about death.

Of course, he and Mr. Kane didn't exactly see eye to eye.

Of course, we're different because we live in a palace.

Of her acting, it is absolutely impossible to..."

Of her acting, it is absolutely impossible to..."

Often support, then denounce.

Oh, boy...

Oh, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Switzerland.

Oh, mama, please.

Oh, yes, I can.

Oh. Oh.

Oh. One thing I can never understand:

Okay.

Okay.

On the other hand, I am the publisher of the Inquirer.

One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry...

One hundred thousand trees, twenty thousand tons of marble...

One is enough.

One of those families where the father is worth $10 million...

Only they happen to be the best men in the business.

Only you want love on your own terms.

Only you're going to need more than one lesson.

Ooh.

Our home is here, Susan.

Our new dramatic critic. I hope I haven't made a mistake.

Packed your bag, sent for the car...

Pages 83 to 142.

Paintings, pictures, statues, various stones of other palaces.

Paper. Read all about it. Extra, extra.

Part of a Scotch castle...

People are going to nightclubs and restaurants.

People will know who's responsible...

Perhaps I can enlighten you a bit. I'm an authority on what people will think.

Place the tone right in the mask

Places, everybody!

Places, please!

Places! Places, everybody!

Places! Places!

Playing with a jigsaw puzzle.

Please continue with the lesson.

Please. Let's come back.

President's niece?

Pull your muffler around your neck, Charles.

Put all this stuff together:

Read all about it in the early morning Chronicle.

Read all about it in the early morning Chronicle.

Right away. Will you have something, Mr. Thompson?

Right.

Rosebud, and your name is Jennings, isn't it?

Rosebud?

Rosebud.

Rosebud.

Rosebud.

Sail away to a desert island probably and lord it over the monkeys.

Say, he was in an awful hurry.

Say, Mr. Kane, as long as you're promising...

See them all. Get in touch with everybody that ever worked for him...

Sending him a letter telling him he's fired...

Seventy years in a man's life.

She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since...

She didn't want to at first. But she did it.

She never heard of Rosebud.

She sent it because I told her it wouldn't be smart not to.

She was carrying a white parasol.

She was like all the girls I knew in dancing school.

She'll be perfectly all right in a day or two, Mr. Kane.

She'll snap out of it.

She's probably murdered. Why isn't there something about it in the Inquirer?

Shut up.

Signed:

Signor Matiste is going to listen to reason.

Since the pyramids...

Sing Sing, Gettys. Sing Sing!

Six years ago, I looked at a picture of the world's greatest newspaper men.

Sixteen years after his first marriage...

Sleds aren't to hit people, but to sleigh with.

So big it can never be cataloged or appraised.

So would you, Mrs. Kane.

Solly!

Some people can sing. Some can't.

Sometimes I think I'd prefer a rival of flesh and blood.

Sometimes I think I'd prefer a rival of flesh and blood.

Spoke for millions of Americans.

Standing?

Still the college boy, eh?

Stop at the cigar store on your way out, and get me a couple of good cigars.

Sure we're speaking, Jedediah.

Sure, they're just like anybody else.

Sure, you give me things, but that don't mean anything to you.

Sure. "I'm Charles Foster Kane.

Susan Alexander Kane.

Susan!

Susan.

Susan.

Susan.

Susie?

Swung the election to one American president at least.

Ta ta ta, ta ta ta, ta ta ta.

Take a good look at it, Jedediah.

Take a picture of that.

Tell Arnold I'm ready, Marie. Tell him he can get the bags.

Tell Mr. Silverstone he's a detective from, uh...

Thank you so much, Mr. Carter. Goodbye.

Thank you, Jennings.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson, thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That first night, according to Charlie...

That is why he did everything.

That manager of his... Uh...

That one.

That property is as much my property as anybody's...

That same month in Union Square...

That the whole audience doesn't want you.

That was trying to prove something.

That whole thing about Susie being an opera singer.

That won't be necessary.

That would be too bad.

That'll add up to something bigger than your privilege...

That'll be enough, Susan.

That's a lot to try to get into a newsreel.

That's a mistake that will be corrected one of these days.

That's a ripe old age. What do you do?

That's all I'm interested in.

That's all right.

That's all right. I'm just looking for...

That's Charlie's story. How he lost it.

That's it, smile.

That's it!

That's my curse.

That's one of the greatest curses Memory.

That's one of the things that's going to have to be changed here.

That's right, Solly, that means we'll have to remake again.

That's the kind of thing we are going to be interested in from now on.

That's what he said when he died.

That's when you got to fight them.

That's why he went into politics. It seems we weren't enough.

That's why he's going to be brought up where you can't get at him.

Thatcher never did figure him out. Sometimes even I couldn't.

The Bulldog's just gone to press.

The Colorado Lode.

The decent, ordinary citizens know that I'll do everything in my power...

The directors of the Thatcher Memorial Library have asked me...

The dramatic notice.
