Tasty Mystery Baskets of Clips
Mr. Roark, this interview is necessary but very difficult for me.
It's incredible. I believe you're jealous.
Your best won't do it, Peter.
...and we shall win because there are thousands of us...
No. Why should I?
You're too sure of yourself.
Do you want to stand alone against the whole world?
I never ran the Banner. They did.
It is their proper function.
I needed you at the office. I found you absent.
Let's stop and think.
...having no right to look at you, to tell you that I...
You'd design Cortlandt for me?
They were excellent 2000 years ago when they were built for the first time.
It's very simple. All you do is copy it.
Just one of the Banner's smear campaigns!
I'll wait for you.
You shouldn't remain here.
Start work at once. Drop anything else you're doing.
I was waiting for you to come.
- I couldn't help it. - I suppose not.
No. All these years, I've found some one man who wanted my work...
I'm sorry. Oh, amn't I? I'm sorry. Oh, amn't I?
- Howard. - Good evening, Gail.
Do you still want me to have dinner with you tonight?
There aren't. He's not any better than the rest of us.
But you've accepted my design.
- Where is he? - Yes, that one, he's gone.
You've been advertising it loudly enough.
No. You have the wrong number.
You want to know whether you can make me suffer, don't you?
We should be grown-up about it, shouldn't we?
I decided when I was 16 that that's where the Wynand building would stand...
...and as his highest virtue his self-respect.
That I'm getting everything.
You fool, why did you have to make such a good job of it?
...but the men of unborrowed vision went ahead.
To prosper, not to starve.
I want a house that will be only mine and hers.
Alvah's column was a mess. I rewrote it.
Thank you for the house you designed for us. It's one of your most beautiful.
It cannot be subordinated to the needs, opinions, or wishes of others.
Solve the problem. I'll submit it and push it for all I'm worth.
As one of our directors said, You can't expect us to stick our necks out.
...if they never let me see you again...
It is an ancient conflict.
Shall we choose some other subject?
There's so little in life that's noble or beautiful.
Howard, you do me a favor.
No creator was prompted by a desire to please his brothers.
For any reason you care to imagine.
My ideas are mine. Nobody else has a right to them except on my terms.
And just as seldom.
- As what? - As the Wynand building.
I don't build in order to have clients. I have clients in order to build.
Gail, don't give in to them. Don't give in.
- Dominique. - Hello, Peter.
I was born in Hell's Kitchen.
- Yes, sir? - Ask Miss Francon to come in.
His work, not those who used it...
His name is Howard Roark.
Nothing else matters to me.
Don't tell him. Say Gail did.
...so help you God? - I do.
You're Mrs. Gail Wynand. You're above suspicion.
No? You don't wanna do that?
Roger, why did you bring him here?
But I won't be there to see it happen.
Why are you trying to justify yourself to me?
Will you let me give you all the money they paid me?
That was the price I set for my work.
Yes, Mr. Wynand.
Do you remember?
I agreed to design it for the purpose of seeing it built as I wished.
My engagement?
No. Go on.
Roark, I know...
Anywhere, so long as I build my way.
Why did you come here, Peter?
Has any other client come to you?
But he left them a gift they had not conceived.
You ought to feel contempt for me if you've seen the kind of buildings I put up.
I will not sacrifice it for anyone on earth.
- Pasquale Orsini. - What do you want?
Your contract to design the Wynand building.
I know it. I accept it.
I was trying to tempt you, but I didn't find it amusing.
The prisoner will rise and face the jury.
The board of directors has attempted to pick an architect quite unsuccessfully.
- If you have seen any of these buildings... - I have.
I thought, that you'd never give up your work for anyone.
I must pick an architect for the Security Bank building. Whom would you recommend?
I might if you offer me enough.
Let your verdict give us the answer.
Why didn't you come here yesterday? I missed you.
No building is unimportant. I'll build for any man who wants me.
...but they can't prove it. - Is the public against him?
I should like to meet Peter Keating.
- What is it? - Well, of course...
Will you come and have dinner with us tonight?
Self-sacrifice, we drool, is the ultimate virtue.
No matter what reason you choose for it.
All my things that you're keeping for me, I want you to burn them.
There are no men of integrity.
- What? - The wonder of ownership.
- For whom? - Howard.
We can't speak of that now.
Howard Roark, the supreme egoist...
- Comfortable and sloppy and, well, homey. - No, one couldn't.
You staged so many of them.
