dear lady fellow Governors a long time has passed since
you left our little town almost two decades a long time it has gone sadly
with the world it has gone sadly with us and yet the roots of gullen are so
deep that never have we forgotten our car our gracious
lady will it surprise you if we remember so much about you your father the
well-known architect and Builder your
mother who Within any imagination did not know you were destined for higher
things even today your school room achievements are held up as an example
by our wise Professor here and your
generosity do we not know dear lady that you although a mere child brought a sack
of potatoes to a starving Widow
and so let us say gracious Carla welcome
dear Carla zachanassian God bless dear Carla zachanassian
your honor distinguished guests fellow
[Applause] ganit how beautifully our mayor spoke about
me and yet there was not one word of Truth in all he
said everybody knows that my father was not an architect he was a brick player but always so drunk that he refused to
work from any building too high to fall from and I was not really the kind of child
our mayor described that was hardly a day that our poor overworked Professor didn't have to
beat me I remember always being surprised that the man who looked so weak could have so strong a right
do as for my generosity it is true that I once brought a bag of potatoes to Old
Widow Bolas I'd stolen them but it was so that she would let Serge and me use
romantic but the bed was much more
comfortable more comfortable it was much much more
comfortable but let us go from gracious Li lies to brutal truths gullan is in
trouble gullan needs money I have money and I'm ready to help
[Applause] Gan I am ready to give 2 million to
gallan did you say 2 million dear lady 1 million for the township and 1 million
to be divided equally among the citizens of
gullen oh God on one condition incredible woman

vexler claim that you Serge Miller were the father of the child she was then
carrying at that time Mr Miller you Deni that you were the father of the child
you alleged in fact that your foret Carla vexler was of such low moral character that was a long time ago we
were practically children who remembers what happened or did not
happen who remembers the truth they remember the truth Mr Miller
State your names please Joseph kadik ludvic daris I knew I'd seen them before do you
recognize that man yes I do he Serge Miller do you remember the
trial yes case of a girl who claimed Serge Miller had gotten her in a family
way pregnant that is you remember it clearly then we were
Witnesses please tell us what you testified on that occasion we
said we had slept with Carla both of us many times and had you slept with Cara
vexler many times no had you slept with her at all never hardly knew her and
what was the purpose of this false testimony to show that Carla had been
been promiscuous so you couldn't really tell who the father was and also to prove she
was no good she would let anybody sleep with her and why did you do this why did you
swear false oath why did you destroy the character of a young girl Miller uh
promised us each a bottle of brandy if we did nothing more no does the
defendant have anything to add what good could I do to bring this up now
plaintiff there was a child born Madame zakian yes it was taken away from
me it lived less than a year and what happened to you I went to test where I
became a and why did you enter a life of prostitution I didn't have much Choice
the record of the trial was on my papers besides after that I didn't care
what happened to me and now you desire Justice mam zakum I do what is the nature of the
Justice you desire I want Serge Miller put to
death killed you want Serge Miller killed

township and one to be equally divided among the citizens of Gallen we may be
poor we may be bankrupt but Madam we prefer misery to blood never Madam

meeting because of last night of course then I I'd like to say something you're
out of order no I'm perfectly in order how can you be when the meeting has not yet been officially called order begun I
happen to think this meeting must not be called The Very fact that we are meeting can only mean we're considering that woman's offer seriously that there
should be no meeting but sge there is a meeting and it's exactly that we're
about to discuss but there must be no discussion the minut you discuss it it it it means that there's something in it
Miller open discussion is the heart and soul of democracy I think we should ignore this whole disgraceful Affair in
dignified silence you'll forgive an old warhorse politician that dignified silence business never works with the
people he knows what he's talking about Serge I think we've had enough discussion on this point I move we put
this to a vote fellow counselors there must be no vote the right to vote is BAS sign Miller but this is not fair to me
the minute you vote even against you you're voting then I take it you vote against I'm not voting I'm just
opposing you're not being very logical Mela how can you oppose without vote voting all in
favor Mr Mayor this is a little high-handed high-handed you were the one who tried to refuse us a vote
oppose I vote for the church remains
neutral motion carries 4 to3 well I propose that we the city council go on
record as supporting our old and esteemed friend Serge m thank you I just assume you do not go on
record whether you like it or not Miller you have our unqualified support

the Tribune do not attempt to mold or influence public opinion it is our aim to reflect public opinion a little bit
higher there has been a change of public opinion as you may have noticed but these articles are an incitement to mass
murder they they're directed against me you're being very subjective Miller the restoration of the death penalty would
not be aimed at anyone individual show me once in the whole paper where your name is mentioned don't
treat me like a fool there's 2 million on my head what's that a
coincidence what's that a you suit

Serge it's my duty to inform you that you will be tried before the Town Council in the open court which is now
being erected there was talk about our being underhanded secret so we're holding the trial and
the traditional way of our ancestors outdoors in the open will you also make public the fact that Carla offered 2
million for my life listen Miller if you intend to play that game you'd best tell us just a minute Colonel we've promoted
do to a full Colonel I don't think Miller sees the
present picture clearly the colonel and a lot of others here are very strongly opposed to any trial as you must have
realized from that Panther hunt in fact it was all we could do to restrain him
and others from taking action immediate action which would eliminate the need for a
trial I'm being honest with you Miller thank you mayor if you do come to trial
would you accept the Judgment of the Court without
question yes I would then I'll see you tomorrow goodbye

easiest thing in the world do I want you all to judge me I will not
protest nor complain I'll accept your judgment whatever it is because for me it'll be a kind of
