Meet John Doe

Taglines ALL AMERICA WANTS TO MEET THE "MR. DEEDS" OF 1941!

John Hey, stop worryin', Colonel, fifty bucks ain't gonna ruin me.

The Colonel I've seen plenty of fellas start out with fifty bucks and wind up with a bank account!

Beany Hey, what's wrong with a bank account, anyway?

The Colonel And let me tell you, Long John, when you become a guy with a bank account, they gotcha! Yes sir, they gotcha! When they got ya, you've got no more chance than a road rabbit.

Beany Who's got him?

The Colonel The helots!

Beany What's a helot?

The Colonel You've ever been broke, sonny?

The Colonel Sure, sometimes the world seems like it's been shaved by a drunken barber.

Ann Mitchell Please don't give up. We'll start all over again. Just you and I. It isn't too late. The John Doe movement isn't dead yet. You see, John, it isn't dead or they wouldn't be here. It's alive in them. They kept it alive by being afraid. That's why they came up here. Oh, darling!...We can start clean now. Just you and I. It'll grow John, and it'll grow big because it'll be honest this time. Oh, John, if it's worth dying for, it's worth living for. Oh please, John...You wanna be honest, don't ya? Well, you don't have to die to keep the John Doe ideal alive. Someone already died for that once. ]. And he's kept that ideal alive for nearly 2,000 years. It was He who kept it alive in them. And He'll go on keeping it alive for ever and always — for every John Doe movement these men kill, a new one will be born. That's why those bells are ringing, John. They're calling to us, not to give up but to keep on fighting, to keep on pitching. Oh, don't you see darling? This is no time to give up. You and I, John, we...Oh, no, no, John. If you die, I want to die too. Oh, oh, I love you.
