Last on Rich Man, Poor Man.

I hear you're leaving Calderwood and that you might be interested in

So, we meet in person at last.

If I do decide to run, these are the ground rules.

First, there will be no polls taken, no deals, no commitments, no understandings

made without my knowledge and express approval.

Right.

Long ambulance.

So who's the baby?

Treasure. Find out on top of that you can't have another.

That's a cataclysm.

Some women just don't come out of it, that's all.

I speak kind of quietly.

Nigga, maybe you didn't hear me.

Hey, look, maybe... What I'm trying to tell you is I can't fight.

I mean, I can't let anybody see that I'm a fighter.

There are people looking for me. We're going to have that boat.

And I'll tell you something else, Roy.

Now, come here.

We're going to go get my kid. I'm going to bring my kid over here, and he's

going to be raised the way he should be raised.

Hey, where are your pens, little birds?

We all missed you. Hey, didn't we miss you?

Two

days,

I almost forgot that loudmouth.

Forget it.

Forget it.

It's all yours, gentlemen.

Should have been done a couple days ago, but you guys didn't show up.

So we kept it for you.

Where the dog goes, I go, is that?

Is that it?

Yes.

Did you girls have a nice time?

Why don't you just leave us alone, Falcon 80?

Oh,

you want to be left alone, isn't that sweet?

Hey.

Well, does anybody feel like doing anything about that?

Just get out of here, Falcon Eddie.

Just get out.

I got you.

Hey, you!

Look, why don't you stay off my back, Falcon Eddie, huh?

That's no way to talk.

We're going to be friends.

You said we might be friends from now on.

I don't think so.

If you don't understand, I'm going to be your new daddy.

You're going to love every minute of it.

You wouldn't believe it.

Are you looking for me, lover boy?

Did Buddy tell you what happened?

Are

you

starting to get the picture?

Okay, lover boy.

You and me.

I've seen cargo all along.

All right, Falcon Eddie, come on down. I ain't got all day.

There's a ladder right there.

What the hell's going on here?

Peace your eyeballs on that.

I remember him now.

Huh?

I've seen that guy fight at Sunnyside Gardens.

No shit.

You want it? You got it!

Oh my god.

Rest of the bow line.

Waterhead slow.

Port of Anselo, sir.

A midship.

Midship.

The rudder is a midship.

Jordan!

I want you off this ship the minute we tie up in New York.

Aye, sir.

our government into the 20th century, along with the rest of us. Our state

government is strangling in its own bureaucracy.

We have committees.

We have subcommittees.

We have secondary committees.

And all of them are a front for inside politicking, for manipulating the will

the people by a few privileged old -timers.

Well, I say let's clean it out.

Let's clean it out right now.

Today at Civic Auditorium, Rudy Jordache, the young man who built a

center into a multi -million dollar conglomerate, moved into the homestretch

his state senate campaign.

The young candidate was given a good chance to unseat Mitch Dooley, one of

real old -timers in Albany.

Although the young people seemed to enjoy the Jordache charisma, He hasn't

caught fire the way his backers had hoped.

A lot of people feel that's too bad.

New York State's politics could use some new blood.

All right, all right.

Good evening. Is this where the liquor goes?

I don't think so. Are you sure you have the right room?

Jordan Headquarters?

Yes. That's the place. Come on in, boys.

You're right in.

Put her over by the bar.

I don't... Now, if you'll just sign here any place, ma 'am.

I don't know anything about this. It's all right. We're having a little council

of war here tonight. I guess he didn't tell you. That's all right, boys. Just

leave it there.

Fine. And leave the door open.

Thanks, fellas.

What a day. What a day.

Looked like it went pretty well.

A total catastrophe.

Julie?

Unknown.

There were no press releases.

The Rudy's cuties got lost.

Their bus driver didn't know where the civic auditorium was.

Marvelous. The girls never got there till it was over. The air condition went

out. It must have been 600 degrees Fahrenheit. And besides that, we're

points down in the polls. It's that damned editor.

Playing Rudy as the big -time city slicker up to screw the farmer. We're

the undecided.

That's not all we're losing.

Governor? He won't endorse Rudy unless we start picking up momentum.

I'll get it.

Yeah.

I don't honestly know. Hi.

I'm Irene Goodwin.

But of course my husband wouldn't tell you that.

I'm sorry, Julie.

Irene, my wife.

Why don't you be a pet and do a martini?

What for?

Better still, I'll do it.

Whatever. Okay.

We'll make it soon.

Here we are. Good.

What?

I don't understand.

You going to join me?

Yes,

maybe I will.

To tell you the truth, I'm still a little in the bewildered stage.

Honestly, no.

I have grim tidings for you.

It's not a stage.

This is it.

And it doesn't get better. It gets worse. Make it soon. If it hadn't been

martinis, I'd have been a nutcase long since.

What? Let's see if that does anything for you. I said I don't understand.

Oh, okay. I've got it. Yeah.

Yeah. Understood. But I repeat, make it... Hey, somebody stole her hat.

would you, uh... Hi, Irene.

I'm glad you could make it.

She's up for good work. Thank you.

You'll get used to it. It goes with the territory.

You're supposed to brief the bus driver.

I'm sorry. I thought he knew his own city.

Well, next time you make sure.

The Sentinel is coming for the undecided vote.

Sentinel, that's all I hear about. All right, what are we going to do? Just

stand here and quiver? I want that man stopped. He won't sell. I know that.

What about the unions?

A wildcat strike?

Whatever. Look, we might as well get this straight. I did not enter this race

lose it.

Man talk.

What have you got to say about it?

Yeah, I'm listening.

Don't forget the plasma.

Come on now, give me the straight story. I'm not new in this game, you know.

There was no need for this to happen.

Oh, please.

Look, the bus wasn't there, everything's fouled up, and I'm taking the flak for

it.

Okay, just let me talk to George.

This is Mrs. Jordache.

Just a minute. I'll get him.

Rudy? Yes?

It's for you. Some kind of emergency.

Hello?

Yes, this is he.

Are you sure?

How bad is she?

Yes. Of course, I'll be there as soon as I can.

It's Mom.

It's her heart.

Damn it.

Pack the bag. We've got to get down to Whitby right away.

Just got an idea. Yeah, let's do it.

Where are you going to be?

I don't know yet.

It's funny, you know.

What's that?

For a while there, I actually thought we'd get that boat down the south of

France. Live like King Farouk?

Rent it out to millionaires?

Yeah.

It could still happen.

Keep in touch, all right?

Slim.

Sharp looking, you know.

Nice tan, good suit.

College boy talk, you know. Yeah, that sounds like my brother.

What do you want?

He wanted you to call him. I'd call him anybody your name happened by. I'd pass

on the number. Give it to me. I got it right here.

There it is.

Yeah.

He said it was important.

Yeah, he's an important man, my brother.

You want me to get him?

No, what I want in this order is a bottle of blonde, something to eat in

newspaper.

Fifty bucks.

Fifty bucks?

What a crook.

Is she going to be a real blonde?

At these prices, she better be.

I see what I can do.

Yeah.

Babby. Yeah.

One thing more.

I need a gun.

I think one of the guys recognized me on the ship.

Maybe he'll keep his mouth shut. I wouldn't count on it.

Look, I've been asking around these last couple of days. Those Vegas people

still want to kill you.

How hot am I? The way I get it, there's a standing offer on you.

Five bills.

Who is it?

Me, Pat.

Yeah, just a second.

Move the door. Hurry up. Yeah.

Got something here for you.

Okay.

Yeah, fine.

Want a drink?

You know that fellow we were talking about says he's your brother?

Yeah, what about?

He's downstairs if you want to see him.

What'd you do, call him?

Sorry to bust in.

Hey, Rudy, come on in. Come on in.

Hey, you want a drink?

Uh, no.

Relax here.

Hey, I'm sure you don't want a drink. No, no thanks.

Want to see anything I can get you?

No, look. Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute. I want you to meet Betty.

Betty? Barb.

Barb, bro.

Well, look, can I get you something to eat? I got part of a half -eaten

here. No. Look, Tom, I didn't mean to intrude. Well, what is it, a social

or you just come up here to see the less fortunate?

It's Mom, and it's pretty bad.

I'm going up there tonight.

Going up where?

She's in the hospital, that would be.

Hey, you really hit the big time, huh?

Rich retired and running for office.

Well, if anybody can lick the bad guys, it's got to be my straight -out brother,

Rudy the Tutor.

There's something else.

I got married.

To Julie?

Finally. Oh, that's funny.

What's funny about it?

It's like my friend Roy Dreyer said, what comes round goes round.

Need a drink?

This is my brother, Tom.

Tom?

Excuse me a second.

I've admitted to glass rights.

It's almost as if she'd been holding on until you got here.

Thank you, Monsignor.

It's Rudy.

I've brought Tom.

Can she hear me, Doctor?

Maybe.

I don't know.

She's still having lucid intervals, but...

Woody.

Woody.

Nurse, would you go get my brother? He's down the hall.

Woody.

No more, it's me, Tom.

Tommy.

Is that... you?

I'm glad.

Listen.

Do you remember the last time I saw you?

I told you I was going to bring you something.

I got it.

Here.

See?

It's a map of the Mediterranean.

It's blue for your eyes, Ma.

That's fewer.

Wait till you see it there.

You're gonna love it.

See, I got a boat.

And I was hoping that you'd come there.

Just you, me, and Wesley.

Tommy.

I have to tell you.

Sorry, I am.

Me too.

You don't have to say this.

That takes a lot of pain

and love to raise a boy.

I gave so much to Rudy.

There wasn't enough left over.

For you.

It's okay. It doesn't matter, Ma.

Try not to hate me, Tommy.

Ma.

Mugs in your tongue?

You remember Tom?

Tom? How are you?

Oh, fine.

You have changed.

We've all changed.

Yeah, we have.

My own.

Hello,

Teddy Boylan.

I didn't want to intrude.

I just want to say how sorry I am.

Thank you, Teddy, for coming. She would have appreciated it.

You remember Julie?

Yes, indeed I do.

Unfortunately, I was in Bermuda when you were married.

I wish you my best.

Both of you.

Thank you.

I don't know if you've ever met my brother, Tom.

Congratulations on your political career.

Thank you, Teddy.

Well... Perhaps we can get together, talk over old times.

You will bring Julie.

I'm not really one for talking over old times, Mr. Boylan.

Well, I won't keep you.

I would like to buy you a red dress.

When you walk into a room, the air and those eyes of yours, you know men will

flock to their needs.

Nice of Teddy Boylan to come over from Port Phillip.

Hasn't changed much, I think.

Still the same old jackass he always was.

That's right, you never did like him too much, did you?

No.

You know what he did?

You remember that fire at Boylan's place? Oh, it was big news.

The greenhouse went. The whole place almost went.

You know who said it?

My brother.

Don't get up!

I never could figure it out. What did you do that for?

Boyish high spirits?

No, really.

Oh, Rudy, that was a long time ago. I don't remember.

You were lucky you weren't sent to jail.

I think that's what Paul was trying to tell me when he kicked me out of town.

I was wondering, whatever happened to that guy I was with?

Claude Dinker.

You remember old Claude?

I heard he was killed in Korea.

Oh, jeez.

Nothing like a funeral to get people to remember in the good old days, huh?

Excuse me.

That

would

be as good a time as any.

For what?

To tell him that night at Teddy Boylan's.

There's nothing to tell.

Oh, really?

Truth is, my eyes were so burned from the fire, everything was just a blur.

of that. Come here.

Now, come here.

Now, listen to me. Now, listen.

You're my sister.

Huh?

Okay.

Now, tell me, what's the matter?

Nothing. I'm just nervous, I guess.

I haven't any feeling, you know.

I just had to drop by, Rudy. What do you see what I've got for you?

I'm sorry to intrude on you this way.

Save my brother, Tom.

Hi. Well, we've got the latest polls, and Rudy's up five points.

Well, that's the beginning.

It's better than that. The governor's coming out for you.

What changed his mind? You're catching on, that's all. You're starting to get

momentum. The foreign people are beginning to come over.

It's a lot of things, including the trouble at the Sentinel.

What trouble?

Oh, one of those labor things.

They're having a problem getting the paper out. It's time we had a little

luck. Is that what you call it?

Dooley's had his arm in the pork barrel for the last 35 years. Anything we can

do to get him out of there is a favor to the state.

Look, Sid, you want a drink?

I've got work to do.

It's been a pleasure meeting you.

We're a long way from home, but we've got a fighting chance now.

Let's not blow it.

Bye.

Hey, grab yourself a beer.

Don't mind if I do.

I've been thinking.

Yeah, what have you been thinking about?

This trouble you're in.

I've been wondering if you could buy your way out of it.

These guys don't care about money. With them, it's pride.

You hurt them, they're going to hurt you back or worse.

It's their law.

Nobody buys their way out of that.

Not even a rich man like you.

You're not a poor man yourself.

Yeah, I counted my money. I got $210 and some change. That's not rich.

Plus about $48 ,000.

$48 ,000 what?

Dollars.

What do you mean?

What I said.

Rudy, if this is some kind of joke, you lost me.

You want to hear this?

Yeah. Senator, you got the floor.

You remember that day you came to Delmonico's hotel?

You cost $3 ,000 at me. Is that something you owed Pa?

It was blood money.

He bailed me out of the jam with it.

I wanted you to go into partnership with me.

What the hell are you doing here, Rudy? Do you think I'm a charity case?

You just take that partnership and shove it!

Do you remember what you told me?

Not exactly.

You said you didn't care what I did.

I could play the horses or buy myself a new bathrobe or give it to my favorite

charity.

Sounds like you, huh?

Yeah, it sounds like me.

What I did was invest it.

Go on.

I invested it in your name, in my own company.

Since then, the stock has divided four times.

At the close of the market today, you were worth something in excess of $48

,000.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

You say that I can go someplace tomorrow and tell them I got this stock I want

to sell, and they're going to give me $48 ,000 in cash?

That's right.

But I advise against it. Look, the stock sale is a long way to go. Listen.

You're a great guy.

And I want to tell you, I want to take back all those things. I've been

about you all these years, but right now all I want is that $48 ,000.

All right.

Rudy? Yes.

Can I use your telephone?

Yes. All right.

hear from you.

I got worried. I thought you would intercept.

Will you listen to me? What?

We got it. We got the boat.

Uh, hey, Tom, I'll see you at the gate in a half a minute, all right? Nice to

meet you. You got tickets? Right here.

Gee, you know, something I'm running out of people to hate.

Isn't that a hell of a note?

That's a damn shame.

Yeah. Flight 42, now boarding at gate three.

Hey, Rudy, you won't forget about Wesley. No, no, I'll be in touch with

It's important to me. We'll find him.

Hey. Hmm?

You go get him.

Get on the bad guys.

Just a minute, boys.

Just a minute.

We got another report here.

Cayuga County's coming in.

With 85 % of the precincts counted, it's Dooley, 3 ,212.

Oh!

Jordache, 4 ,000.

I'm sorry to have called you, Mr. Jordache, but I didn't know what to do.

Mr. Jordache, she's in her study.

How are you doing?

His Honor, the State Senator would like to know what his semi -lovely and

talented wife is doing. Well, I will tell the Senator what his semi -sober,

-precious wife is doing. She is making a junk pile.

Senator seems to have taken away my hat.

She's watching results from television.

Suddenly she went absolutely...

not speak about the senator's wife is that she's just left the room. She is

much present and would like a little drink.

I have enough to drink.

There is no such thing as enough to drink.

I'm going to take you to bed.

You won't be the first. If I play my cards right, you won't be the last

Martha, I've got it.

to run you should have said so a long time ago
