Maybe it's all to the good in the long run. 191 00:13:08,788 --> 00:13:12,541 After all, if people didn't have headaches, what would happen to the aspirin industry? 192 00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:14,918 You used to love me. You said you did, anyway. 193 00:13:15,003 --> 00:13:17,546 I seem to recall you made a memorable statement too. 194 00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:21,175 Something about hitting it rich and having an apartment on Park Avenue... 195 00:13:21,259 --> 00:13:23,886 and a different car for every day of the week. 196 00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:26,430 Not that I really care about such things, understand... 197 00:13:26,514 --> 00:13:29,224 as long as I have a big, handsome, intelligent brute like you. 198 00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:32,853 It would make a difference, wouldn't it? If I had money, I mean. 199 00:13:32,937 --> 00:13:34,897 How would you define money, George? 200 00:13:34,981 --> 00:13:37,232 If you're thinkin' of giving me your collection of Roosevelt dimes - 201 00:13:37,317 --> 00:13:40,652 I mean big money.

You don't know who they are, and they don't know who you are. 321 00:19:35,299 --> 00:19:38,385 - That makes sense to you, doesn't it? - [Chuckles] Yes, I guess so, but - 322 00:19:38,511 --> 00:19:42,472 It makes sense to me, all right. How come we need 'em, though, Johnny? What are they gonna do? 323 00:19:42,557 --> 00:19:44,558 Well, one of them's for the job with the rifle. 324 00:19:44,642 --> 00:19:47,102 None of you boys can handle that, even if you were willing to. 325 00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:48,812 And the other one starts the fight in the bar. 326 00:19:48,896 --> 00:19:51,523 These other fellas - how much are they cuttin' in for? Not that I mind. 327 00:19:51,607 --> 00:19:53,275 Anything you do is okay, but - 328 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,193 These men are not gonna be in on the basic scheme. 329 00:19:55,278 --> 00:19:58,655 They're getting paid to perform certain definite duties at a certain definite time. 330 00:19:58,739 --> 00:20:00,782 And they're not cutting in on the take. 331 00:20:00,867 --> 00:20:03,118 They'll be paid a flat price to do a straight job. 332 00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:06,997 Well, if they don't know anything about the basic plan, about the job, then why are they doin' it? 333 00:20:07,081 --> 00:20:09,457 It's simple. These boys are straight hoods. They get paid in advance. 334 00:20:09,542 --> 00:20:11,835 Five grand for the one with the rifle, and 2,500 for the other. 335 00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:15,380 - Where's this money comin' from? - That's where Marvin comes in. 336 00:20:15,464 --> 00:20:18,967 He's getting the 7,500 for us, and he gets it back off the top. 337 00:20:19,051 --> 00:20:21,303 I wish I could do more, Johnny. 338 00:20:21,387 --> 00:20:23,763 It's almost not right for me to get as much as everybody else. 339 00:20:23,848 --> 00:20:26,975 - After all, all I do is - - Your money counts for plenty, Marv. 340 00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:29,060 You don't hear any of them complaining, do you? 341 00:20:29,145 --> 00:20:32,022 Sure. You're okay in our book, Marv.

Part of it's for not asking questions. 549 00:31:55,455 --> 00:31:57,665 That sounds not unreasonable. 550 00:31:57,749 --> 00:32:02,295 Still, I will probably go to jail, and jails I have found unpleasant. 551 00:32:02,379 --> 00:32:06,882 Food is very bad, company is poor, beds are too small. 552 00:32:06,967 --> 00:32:10,469 Ah, it'll only be a disorderly conduct charge. Maybe 60 days, nothing worse. 553 00:32:10,596 --> 00:32:14,223 And if a man has a little money to spread around in the right places, he can be quite comfortable for his stay. 554 00:32:14,308 --> 00:32:16,350 I do not quite understand, Johnny. 555 00:32:16,435 --> 00:32:20,605 For what you want me to do, you could get any hoodlum for a hundred dollars. 556 00:32:20,689 --> 00:32:23,065 Yeah.

Say, uh, how long have you had this place? 571 00:33:11,948 --> 00:33:13,407 Almost a year. 572 00:33:13,492 --> 00:33:16,160 Yeah, and it's picturesque enough, but there can't be much profit in it. 573 00:33:16,244 --> 00:33:19,955 There isn't. But then there isn't much trouble neither. 574 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,710 - What are you thinking about? - A job. Your kind of a job. A job with a rifle. 575 00:33:24,795 --> 00:33:26,837 - What kind of money, pops? - 5,000. 576 00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:30,424 - Who do I have to kill? - A horse. 577 00:33:30,509 --> 00:33:32,426 - A horse? - A four-legged horse. 578 00:33:32,511 --> 00:33:34,428 - And for that I get 5,000? - Well, for that and - 579 00:33:34,513 --> 00:33:37,640 [Laughing] I figured there'd be a gimmick. 580 00:33:37,724 --> 00:33:40,267 The gimmick isn't as tough as you may think. 581 00:33:40,352 --> 00:33:43,646 You shoot the horse, and, if by any chance anything goes wrong, you don't squawk. 582 00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:45,815 And all I gotta do is bump off a horse? 583 00:33:45,899 --> 00:33:48,109 - Well, it's a special kind of a horse, Nick. - So? 584 00:33:48,193 --> 00:33:50,236 For certain reasons, including your own protection... 585 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,781 in case anything happens, I'm not gonna give you the whole story, just your part of it. 586 00:33:53,865 --> 00:33:56,450 Next Saturday the $100,000 handicap is being run. 587 00:33:56,535 --> 00:33:59,870 In the seventh race - that's the big race of the season - there's a certain horse running. 588 00:33:59,955 --> 00:34:02,581 He's one of the best three-year-olds to come along in the last 10 years. 589 00:34:02,708 --> 00:34:06,585 He's a big money winner, and he won't pay even money because half the people out there are gonna be down on him. 590 00:34:06,670 --> 00:34:10,464 All right. There's a parking lot less than 300 feet from the northwest corner of the track. 591 00:34:10,549 --> 00:34:12,675 From a car parked in the southeast corner of that lot... 592 00:34:12,759 --> 00:34:17,138 you get a perfect view of the horses as they come around the far corner and start into the stretch. 593 00:34:17,264 --> 00:34:21,183 A man sitting in a car parked in that spot using a high-powered rifle with a telescopic sight... 594 00:34:21,268 --> 00:34:23,894 should be able to bring down any given horse with a single shot. 595 00:34:23,979 --> 00:34:26,814 And a man with your eye would hardly need a telescopic sight. 596 00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:28,816 That horse is worth a quarter of a million bucks... 597 00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:30,651 and you know the crowd would go completely nuts. 598 00:34:30,736 --> 00:34:33,237 So what? Let 'em go nuts. You can do it. You can do it easy. 599 00:34:33,321 --> 00:34:36,031 And you shouldn't have too much trouble getting away in the confusion. 600 00:34:36,116 --> 00:34:38,951 Red Lightning will undoubtedly be leading in the stretch because that's the way he runs. 601 00:34:39,035 --> 00:34:41,537 So he goes down, a couple of other horses pile up on top of him. 602 00:34:41,621 --> 00:34:44,165 - There'll be plenty of confusion. I can guarantee you that. - Yeah. 603 00:34:44,291 --> 00:34:48,502 And there's one more thing - Suppose by accident you do get picked up. What've you done? You shot a horse. 604 00:34:48,587 --> 00:34:51,839 It isn't first-degree murder. In fact, it isn't even murder. In fact, I don't know what it is. 605 00:34:51,923 --> 00:34:55,176 But the chances are, the best they could get you on would be, uh, inciting a riot... 606 00:34:55,260 --> 00:34:57,511 or shooting horses out of season or something like that. 607 00:34:57,596 --> 00:35:00,389 Well, you put it down, 'cause you make it sound real simple.

They'll probably call the race off, huh? 612 00:35:13,653 --> 00:35:15,863 And they won't pay off any of the bets? Come on. 613 00:35:15,947 --> 00:35:18,741 Maybe. But what my angle is is my business. 614 00:35:18,825 --> 00:35:21,869 And, Nikki, 5,000 bucks is a lot of dough, and that's what I'm paying it for - 615 00:35:21,953 --> 00:35:23,871 so nobody has to know my business. 616 00:35:23,955 --> 00:35:27,291 All right, John.
