Original subtitles

Well, Doc, can we talk to him now?

Yeah, I guess it won't make any difference.

If he's going to talk at all, you better do it now.

Who did it, Lefty?

You're through, Lefty. You're going to die.

Who were they?

What happened to Joe and Louis?

Well, they got all of them.

Who did it?

Rockies, boys.

I hope they rot.

Rocky thorpe, boys.

The man's delirious.

Rocky thoughts have been out of circulation for five years.

I wonder.

You forget Rocky Thorpe is still up the river.

I prosecuted him myself.

Well, he may be locked up,

but this sure looks like his technique.

Just like to handle those Bailey boys

in that bookie joint a few years ago.

Alrighty, Inspector.

that's all.

Alright, next group.

Take your hat off.

Alright, next.

Your hat.

Next.

Quiet Your hat.

Ladies and gentlemen, the radio audience is about to hear.

Quiet!

Well, boys, it's nice seeing you again.

Nice to see you, too, Captain.

Quiet!

Yes, you felt so quite a chance, sir.

They pulled down the mocks to you.

We'll take these three.

Old Dapper Malere, Tombstone,

and Palatello for further questioning.

Have a cigar?

sure.

Hiya, man.

Well, rather neat work last night, wasn't it, boys?

I'll pick we know what you mean, Mr.

I think he must be talking about that massacre over at that pool hall

Oh, yeah.

We read about it this morning.

Too bad.

Nice skies, too.

It's a good thing we was up to a movie,

or they might have thought we had something to do with it.

Some swell picture up at the E-light.

Wasn't it, Tombstone?

Yeah, one of them ganked the pictures.

Yeah, hot stuff.

Yeah, you're kind of handy with that thing, aren't you, Palatello?

Me? No.

Skip the preliminary, Sullivan. What's the beef?

You've come a long way since you were a stooge for Rocky Thought.

Kind of took over for him without losing a trick, didn't you?

Didn't lose a customer, I bet.

Clip joints, bookie stands, slot machines, everything

with a few killings thrown in.

Listen, you...

Shut up.

You've been very lucky up to now.

And you and some other so-called big shots

think you've got this town in the sack.

You think you've got to chop each other down

to protect your rackets, do you?

Well, the state's got a way of chopping down, too.

You're going up to where your boss is.

Good old Rocky.

Is he still up there?

Look, Copper, you're talking in circles. Lay the beef on the line.

Sure, Dapper.

I'm charging the three of you with homicide.

Lock him up.

What a laugh.

Come on.

No hot feelings, buddy.

Why, no.

Why you!!

Good morning, gentlemen. Good morning.

What do you want here?

You picked up three boys last night, Inspector.

Well, you don't mind, do you?

They haven't done anything. I give you my word they haven't.

I know just how you feel, Phillips.

What you mean is they're really good boys at heart,

just a little mischievous.

Oh, go on, Phillips. Get out of here. I'm busy.

You're supposed to be your lawyer.

You're no better than to come in here.

I have a little paper for you, Inspector.

A court order for the boys' release.

You work fast, don't you?

One has to work fast.

One has to work fast to get ahead of you, Mr. District Attorney.

Well, I give up.

You're bringing the right guys, and what happens?

They sprung before they miss a meal.

Now we're kidding ourselves trying to crack that outfit.

If Rocky Thorpe isn't still the head man,

well, then I'll do nip-ups in Times Square.

A man in jail can keep in communication with the outside.

I don't know.

But it sure seems as if your hunch was right.

All right, turn them over.

Hello, W9ENG.

Calling W9ENG.

This is W9ETD.

Calling W9ENG on short-wave phone and standing by.

Come in, please, if you're getting me.

Hello, W9ETD.

W9ENG coming back to you.

An 80-meter band.

They're coming in fine, mate.

Go ahead, W9ETD.

W9ETD coming back to you, W9ENG.

How are you, Bill, old boy?

Everything's fine here.

We had a little trouble, but it's all straightened out now.

That's good, Jim.

How's everything working out?

hey was that your outfit making all that noise last night?

Yeah, I guess it was.

I followed your advice and tried out those new tubes.

They're a little noisy, but they sure did the work.

Good work, Jim. How long did you get?

I only got the smaller ones.

I wanted to get the whole set, but I couldn't make it.

I couldn't get the main one.

By the way, Bill, I understand that fellow uptown

is figuring out enlarging his set, putting on more power.

I had interfere with our reception.

What do you think I ought to do about it, Bill?

There you go again, Rocky.

Always getting point up at that guy.

If he gets you so sore, why do you listen to him at night?

Nearly five years we've been bunkies together,

and I still can't figure you out.

It's pretty late to be starting now.

You're going to be lonesome when you leave here.

You won't be long now, will it, Rocky?

No, won't be long.

The lonely service in this college ain't what it used to be.

That's what you think.

You got a paper deluxe service pinhead?

Kind of, I've been getting.

Convicted on racketeering charges five years ago,

Rocky Thorpe reputed gang leader leave state prison next month.

Depending on the completion of his sentence,

he's being carefully guarded against attack by his fellow prisoners,

with whom it is reported he is extremely unpopular.

I guess that five years hasn't changed him very much.

He'll pick up right where he left off.

If Mattick doesn't get him first.

Mattick'll try, you can be sure of that.

He isn't the kind to sit back and let Rocky's organization

take care of half a doesn't of his best men.

If it was Rocky's bunch.

Well, it was.

When he gets out, you'll find that he moves right in at the old stands.

You said it.

Thorpe.

Relax, you guys.

I come here to talk.

Keep your hands away from that phone.

You get me?

Hi, Sullivan.

Remember my telling you nothing could hold Rocky Thorpe?

And you?

Remember my telling you what I'd do if you slept that five-year rap on me?

I don't worry you, Donald.

Take it easy.

I ain't getting tough if you ain't.

This is a business call, see?

I got a proposition and you can take it or leave it.

Well, it might be smart for you to take it.

We don't make deals.

If you come in on it, you both can go places.

If you don't, well, I believe I got a little surprise for you.

Satisfied, Chief?

What is this, Sullivan?

Meet John Franklin from upstate.

How do you do, Mr. Luke?

Enough like him to be his twin brother.

Enough like him to be Thorpe himself?

Now, what's all this about?

I'm sorry to pull a gag at you, but Franklin talked me into it.

He has an idea. I'm afraid it's a little wild.

It fooled the district attorney.

But fooling Thorpe's own men is something else again.

Well, it does sound a little wild. What's your idea, Franklin?

Mr. Lucas, you're trying to get something on Thorpe and his men.

I believe the only way to do it is from the inside.

Well, that's a pretty big order, Franklin.

There's more to being accepted as Rocky Thorpe by his men than just looking like him.

I've gone into all that.

I know the man's life backwards.

I've studied every piece of film and every photograph he's ever had taken.

Mr. Lucas, I've lived Rocky Thorpe these last few weeks.

I'm afraid I'm even beginning to think like him.

Well, how about it? Do you think he can get away with it?

He might.

But that scar, they know that isn't a real one.

Don't worry about that. That'll be a real one.

Hello, Chief.

Hello, son.

How's it going?

All right, I hope.

Huh?

Cigar.

Oh.

I'll bet he wears a nations on his underwear.

Well, you better get used to smoking him.

Thorpe smokes him in his sleep.

Huh?

You know, I'm getting used to a lot of Rocky's funny habits.

Well, here's another one of his habits.

You'll have to get acquainted with him.

Hmm.

Oh, well.

Who's she?

Well, that's Rocky Thorpe's girlfriend.

Her name's Orchid.

You hadn't figured on her, had you?

No, I guess I hadn't.

Is the dog one of Rocky's pets, too?

Uh-huh.

Looks like you have to make friends.

With the dog?

Both.

It's not going to be so easy to fool a man's own dog.

I'm not worried about that.

It looks as though you have to become pretty well acquainted with Orchid.

She's going to be dangerous, son.

She knew Rocky pretty well.

Yep.

Well, it's not too late to change your mind.

I think I'm going to like Rocky's cigars.

The doctor's ready for you, Mr. Franklin.

Thank you.

See you later, Chief.

Okay, break it up, What's that?

Come on, Thorpe.

I'm comfortable.

The warden's office.

Hey, keep your hands off them checkers.

See?

You get me?

All right, boys.

Hi, Sullivan.

well, Rocky.

Won't be long now. Hey, warden.

That's bad news for you, Thorpe.

Tending further action by the authorities,

Florida's asked us to hold you after your release.

What is it a gag? you can't hold me

What are you gonna try?

you mustamize take me for a chump

My time's up tomorrow.

My mouthpiece will spring me so fast

it'll make you guys dizzy.

I want to talk to him, see?

You get me?

This way, Thorpe.

What are you guys trying to pull on me?

Your own protection.

You're not too popular with the men here.

In fact, some of them even think you tipped off the guards

to that break they were planning.

You don't say.

Reports have come to me that they're out to get you

before you leave here.

Taking a big interest in me, ain't you, warden?

Well, I can take care of myself.

All right, in there.

Okay, teacher.

We'll be seeing you, Sullivan.

Soon.

on the outside.

He'll be there in solidarity as long as you want him there.

But can you keep him hidden?

What about your guards?

No one knows the room is there except ourselves

and the man who built it.

He'll be all right.

Thank you, warden.

Okay, John.

Good luck.

Thank you, Dan.

Good luck, Franklin.

Warden.

All right, Captain.

What to teach you, War Rockie?

My autograph.

Your move.

Hey, the blacks are mine.

So what?

I like the blacks, see?

Get it?

Okay, okay.

The blacks are yours.

Now, what smart guy tipped off the papers?

Well, I knew you had a lot of other things on your mind, Dappa,

so I arranged for the reception committee myself.

Why, you birdbrain?

For two cents, I'd...

Get these guys away from Rocky.

Come on.

So long, Livers.

You'll be reading about me.

Yeah, in the funeral notice.

How about a statement, Rocky?

Where do you go from here, Rocky?

Get out this way.

You're looking swell, Rocky.

Yeah, just like the day went in.

Let me get out of here.

Great to see you.

Let's go.

Come on.

How's that for a gag, Rocky?

Just like old times, eh?

Come on, get going.

Gee, boss, you ain't lost your touch at all.

Come on!

Been a long while, Rocky.

I'll be making up for it.

Don't worry, boss.

We ain't been losing any time.

Everything's been handled,

just like you've been telling us right along.

That reminds me.

Remember that last message you sent?

Yeah.

You didn't figure it could read two ways.

Which way did you mean?

I get it.

It's gonna be a new deal from now on.

Hey, Dapper, ain't that car behind one of the medics?

Slow down.

Let him come up even.

We'll throw a little party for him.

Wait a minute.

I'm running the show now.

Step on it.

You better start blasting, Rocky.

No fireworks.

I've got other plans for Monic.

Now, slam on your brakes.

So you're finally caught up with us, Neely.

How do you like it?

Honest, Dapper.

We didn't know that was your car up ahead.

Nah, you hoped it was our hoist.

No, we were trying to shake off some speed cops.

They're right behind.

Shake that off.

Why don't you learn how to drive?

Get busy and help straighten out them fenders.

Hello, Neely.

Too bad Madagain with you.

I understand he wants to see me.

Well, I want to see him.

In the morgue.

Shut up, you.

I can't do business on those stiffs.

And I want to do business, see?

Get me?

You mean business?

Yeah, business.

Dollars and cents.

No more of this cowboy stuff.

I want to be at the truck tonight at nine o'clock

and I want him there.

If you don't show him, come on after him, see?

You want we should tell him that?

Yeah, you tell him that straight from Rocky Thorpe.

Let him go, boys.

Well, honey, you like that.

Rocky's letting him get out alive.

Yeah, it's a wonder he didn't give me your five-spot.

I got handed to you, Rocky, using them for a build-up

so we could get Madag over there.

Don't get me wrong, Dapper.

I'm leveling.

I'm now on the rough stuff's out.

What's the idea, Rocky?

Told you guys I had other plans.

There's no percentage in battling that guy

when you can make a deal with him.

He didn't think that way a month ago

when you sent word to start shoving Madag around.

What changed your mind?

Do I have to give reasons to you guys?

Since when are you telling me how to run my racket?

Now, you don't have to get sore about it, Rocky.

Listen, you birds.

What do you think I was doing when I was up there?

I was doing some heavy thinking, see?

The college I went to is one place that's smart and sure.

Yeah, that's my trouble.

No education.

Now, if I only had your opportunity...

shut up

Thanks, boys.

That's a knockout.

Hi, fellas.

Hi, Rocky.

Hello, Charlie.

Can't see you back, sir.

I'm glad to be back after five years in a piano box.

Hey, where's the king?

Albinston's taken him for a walk in the park, sir.

Hell's a new boy, Rocky, but he's all right.

Yeah, he'd rather lose his right arm

than his chance to make good with you.

Ambitious, huh?

Fresh air, boys.

That's what I want.

One of your sunshine and fresh air.

Hi, fellas.

Where's the boss?

Look, King, that's Rocky.

What's the matter with you, King?

Honey, it doesn't seem to know you.

Five years is a long time.

They say elephants never forget.

But then, of course, King ain't quite an elephant.

Must be the smell of these dirt clothes at stake, Jimmy.

Sure, dog's memory ain't in his brain, it's in his nose.

Bedroom's over here, Rocky.

Hey, I'm gonna turn around here.

What have you done to this place?

Daffas had the inside's interior decorated.

Didn't you notice?

Yeah, I'm getting stupid.

So you're Al Benson.

Yeah, I'm sure glad to know you, Rocky.

I heard a lot about you.

Wanna be a big shot, huh?

I'll never be the guy you are, Rocky.

I'm in there trying.

Maybe he ain't in yet.

I'm gonna talk later.

Hey, Charlie, fill up that bathtub.

When I say, fill it up, I mean, fill it up.

Yes, Mr. Corporal.

Hiya, boy.

What'd I tell you guys?

Good boy.

No wonder he didn't know me.

And a boy.

What do you wear rocky?

Let's try that light gray one.

Yeah, they're all new.

Drop and picked out the materials himself.

Thanks, Dapper.

I'll get it.

Yeah?

Oh, hello.

Yeah, sure, he's here.

Come on over.

It's Orchid, boys.

Great girl, Orchid.

Come on, you mugs.

You gonna scram or do you want me to give you a hint?

Well, Rocky?

Let me look at you.

It's been such a long time.

Yeah, it's been a long time.

You don't seem the same, Rocky.

Well, I guess five years does make a difference.

How's about a little drink?

Yes, that might help, so.

Any medicine?

same usual.

My taste don't change very much, you know.

Yeah, sure.

Well?

To us?

Sure kid, to us.

Rocky, it's bourbon.

Yeah, it ain't bad either, isn't it?

I've been waiting a long time for this.

I still don't like bourbon.

Oh, I forgot.

What do you have?

The same as always, scotch.

Now do you remember?

Sure I do.

Rocky, there's something wrong.

Forget it, kid, I get a lot of things in my mind.

For instance?

Well, I never did tell you my troubles, did I?

No, but you always used to forget them with me.

look kid,

You run along home and get yourself dolled up.

We're going to truck tonight, just like old times.

Just the two of us, Rocky, just you and me.

Well, I don't know about that.

We get a lot of time together.

You see, I got a little business to settle up with Maddox.

Maddox?

Ah, don't worry.

It's going to be friendly.

I couldn't get Maddox on the phone.

Well, maybe he's on the way.

Give him time.

Yeah, give him time, and he'll have some of his torpedoes over here.

Can you please come to dressing room six?

Well, what's Mattick doing in dressing room six?

Take it easy, kid.

It's okay, boss,What's the gag, sister?

Yeah, what is the gag?

You wanna see me?

yes, but i hardlly expect did you bring your friend with you

just suppose i could trust you along with me for a moment

I ain't so sure

don't you want i should first crack too?

please don't unticklish

Scram.

Well?

I wanted to ask a favor of you, if that's possible.

Why not?

No harm in asking, is it?

Well, I don't know after the way you busted in here.

I have to be careful, sister.

Maybe you ain't heard, but I ain't popular with some people.

I can understand that.

What's on your mind?

Look, Mr. Thorpe, you're a big shot.

You have your picture on all the newspapers.

You kind of like that, huh?

I don't like you or anything you stand for.

What's all this leading up to?

You've got a kid in your organization named melbourne

Yeah?

He'll never be a big shot like you.

He hasn't got the brains.

You'll probably end up with a bullet in his back.

That's tough.

Al's your boyfriend, huh?

No.

My brother.

Oh.

He can't be very important to you.

I wanted to ask you to get rid of him.

Sit down, I'll think it over.

Rocky won't be back for a while.

Then it was Mattick.

It's a dame.

What do you want?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Rocky acts kind of funny, doesn't he?

Why do you say that?

I don't know.

He never used to look at any dame but you.

That's life.

You wait five years.

I'll see you later.

The boy's out of my nose.

You're asking a lot, sister.

You see, I got big plans.

I can use a good man.

But Al's not a man.

He's just a boy.

He doesn't know what the score is.

I didn't hate your knock.

You're getting careless, Rocky.

You forgot to lock the door.

Cut it.

Seems to me you could do better than a dime

or a dozen torch singers.

He might.

But apparently he hasn't.

Listen, smart dame, don't crack at me

if you want to stand on your feet.

I said cut it, baby.

Now beat it.

I'm sorry.

I guess I talked too much.

I liked that.

You know, you're the first dame

that ever stood up to Rocky Thorpe

and told him what she thought of guys like him.

I could have said more.

Sure.

How about Al?

I'll think it over.

Thanks.

Where's Orca?

She went home.

She had a headache.

Yeah, I think it was her red headache.

Oh, ain't that too bad.

heard bout mattick?

Not yet.

She came for you, Mr. Thorpe.

I'm remembrance of you, mattick.

Don't open it, boys.

It might be a bomb.

He's right, Rocky.

better not open it

why not you open it?

well i'll makes some money i'll tell you

Here's a job right up your alley.

War flyers.

A thousand bucks a month for barman civilians.

Gee, it don't seem right getting paid for killing people.

Then again, it don't seem right just to kill him for nothing.

You haven't said anything about that other story in there, Rocky.

Mattick had his laugh last night.

I'm getting mine this morning.

I'll see you are.

I sent the boys over to let him know

we didn't like what happened last night.

Who told you to send them over?

Who's the boss around here?

Who's running this outfit?

You are, Rocky.

Get those lugs back.

Too late.

They've been gone half an hour.

That's the second time this week you tried to take the play away from me.

There's a girl to see you, Mr. Thorpe.

What's the idea coming up here?

Where's my brother?

He was gone when I got up this morning,

and his gun was missing.

Where is he?

He went to Madic's with Tombstone and the boys.

Where's the kid?

Come on, talk up.

He's sort of got hung up.

Quit stalling. Where is he?

Mattick's got him.

Go on.

We figured there's no use crashing the pool unless Mattick's there, see?

Madic don't know how's her man.

A kind of howl would be new with you.

So we're smart.

We sent Howlin' to case the joint.

Somebody must have had him spotted.

Was any shooting?

Why do you think we left him?

The Madic's cut loose at us with everything with field guns.

Rocky, I...

Hello, Madic.

This is Rocky Thorpe.

Hello, sweetheart.

Where are you?

I'm still on the west side.

Yeah, and it wouldn't surprise me to see a planner there.

But never mind that.

You got one of my boys over there, and I want them.

Now what would I be doing with one of your boys, I ask you?

All right, Mattick.

I'm coming over there to get them.

I'm gonna have that talk I wanted with you too, see?

I sure got a nice place to talk.

Here.

Shall I get my hat?

Hold on, boss.

You don't understand.

Some guys are in a mood for murder.

Are you crazy, Rocky?

What does the doll and her brother mean to you?

Now get you sure his dice have spot.

He's running this show.

Say here all of it.

I'm on my own on this.

And you let him do this for your rat of a brother.

Hello, Rocky.

Glad to see you.

Here.

The boys want to meet you too.

The boys?

Meet Rocky Thorpe.

I didn't come here to be worked over by a lot of cheap hoods, Mattick.

Who said anything about working over?

If your crowd's a couple of wins ahead of our crowd, that's all.

The boys just want to congratulate you, sort of patch you on the back.

Before you start anything, you'll be sorry for them, Mattick.

Just one question.

How long is it since you heard from your family?

Come into the office and we'll talk it over.

Right.

Now, where's that kid?

He's outside.

You could have him.

What did you do with my family?

Your family?

I didn't do nothing with them.

Or just interested.

Want to know how they were.

Look, Mattick.

What do you want to put out to keep me off the west side?

I ain't going to put out nothing.

Now.

You would think so, huh?

Listen, Rocky, you're riding kind of high, ain't you?

Don't forget, I just let Nolan's ears back downtown.

Yeah, Nolan, Kruger, you and me all fighting each other.

Look, mattick, I've been studying up a little of high finance.

Big business when competition gets too expensive, they get together.

Yeah? yeah

We've got enough to do battling the law without fighting each other,

and it's getting tougher.

You know what's happened?

Look, we used to have the county cops, the city police,

the state police, and the G-men.

None of them too tough by themselves.

So what do they do?

They get together.

Yeah.

No ordination, they call it.

One B outfit.

But they used to wrap us with one finger,

now they stalk us with a whole fistful.

Okay.

Now what happens if we get together?

Besides saving the expenses of battling each other,

we clear all our legal business, bail bonds,

witness payoffs through one office.

We operate like them chain stores.

We cut down the overhead and give us all a bigger cut.

Ah, you're nuts.

Them other guys won't fall for it.

I'll take care of them.

They ain't no dumber than you are.

You go for it, don't you?

Maybe.

Hey, what do you mean, Doug?

Ha, ha, ha.

Oh, what did I do to you?

He's all right.

Take care of him, Charlie.

Rocky, how did you do it?

Made a deal with Matic.

You know the one I was telling you about.

You mean you actually put it over?

Boss, I gotta hand it to you.

Don't hand me that.

Get over at the office and pass the word to the boys

and lay off Matic.

Okay, boss.

Now on, we're working together, see?

I'm sorry I squawked on.

It's just that I was afraid, I guess.

Don't bore me out.

I've been paid off plenty.

I died a dozen times waiting for you.

Okay, kid.

I gotta huddle with the lawyers now.

I'll see you later.

Tonight?

We didn't have much time to ourselves last night.

Well, kid, I...

All right.

You don't have to say it.

I'm getting wise to where I stand.

And no man can trick me this way.

Not even you.

Dapper, get over to a good jewelers

and buy her a hunk of ice.

That'll square it. It's her birthday next week.

You're smart like me, boss.

That's the way I always handle them.

Get them a hunk of jewelry.

They'll believe anything you want them too.

If you want them too.

Go on, get busy.

I know what you want, boss.

A swell looker.

Scram.

How's the kid?

Fanged up a little, but he'll be all right.

Thanks.

Don't thank me, sister.

I wasn't thinking about the kid.

It's just that nobody can fool anything like that

on Rocky Thorpe and get away with it, see?

You're a funny guy, Rocky.

You got the whole town afraid of you.

The newspapers say you're cruel and selfish.

Who's your press agent?

What?

Who's your press agent?

Who told you all that stuff about yourself?

I ain't no boy scout if that's what you're driving at.

Maybe you could've been.

I'm doing all right.

Yeah, I guess you are.

Well, so long, big shot.

And thanks.

I mean it.

Hello, rep.

Yes, sir.

You got any drink and water?

Yeah, it's over there.

Relax, you guys.

I come here to talk.

I've been waiting five years for this, Rocky.

I was coming after you, but you saved me the trouble.

You were spilling an awful lot, Nolan,

for a guy that's talkin' right into the ears of the coppers.

What do you mean?

Take the phones, pal.

Your joints wired for sound.

You better have the boys look the place over.

I got tipped the law was workin' here last night

after you closed up.

So if anything happens to you,

Don't worry about it.

I was just ribbing you, Rocky.

Kind of got your go, didn't I?

Yeah, you sure did there for a second.

I was about a little talk.

Sure.

Come on in the office.

We'll buy you a drink.

Find them microphones, you guys.

Tear the joint apart if you got to.

If it works, it's okay.

I'm in.

You'll have to handle Krueger though.

I'll handle Krueger all right.

Okay.

When do you want to get together?

I'll give you a ring and a day or two if we get things lined up.

There ain't no wires here.

What do you mean, Dick, to pal?

Yes, Ruben, you pal.

Get back in there, Krueger.

Keep both hands on the wheel.

You wouldn't give me the run around for a week.

Hard to talk to, ain't you?

Well, I didn't get your phone called this morning, Rocky.

Honest, I didn't.

I was just coming over to see you.

Get back in there and we talk.

Okay, Rocky, I'm in.

Give me a ring whenever you want to get together.

You'll be hearing from me.

So long, pal.

Will you have a cigar?

Oh, thanks, Pal.

Not so fast.

Headquarters wants to talk to you.

Hey, listen, if you think a couple of punks like you...

Just a jack up coming?

Sure.

Sure, why not?

Back in 20 minutes, though.

Okay, Rocky, I'll get that with a phone and a mouthpiece.

They can't do this to Rocky.

What is this?

What's the idea?

Send me a strong arm to pick me up.

I'll ask the question, store.

All right, boys.

Cigarette?

No, thanks.

Believe it or not, I'm beginning to like these things.

Son, I wouldn't have believed you could do it.

I haven't finished yet.

I'm getting them together, though.

Matic Nolan and Kruger.

I just left Kruger.

I ought to be able to pull the old round up in a day or two.

That guy Phillips is here again.

You ain't got nothing on me and you know it.

Get out.

I'm a paper inspector.

I'll get you in here someday.

And when I do, I'll be charged with murder.

Then you'll probably need an attorney.

I'll be at your services.

Really, Rocky?

I've been ready.

So long, Sullivan.

I'll be seeing you again

Hey, you.

Where's that mouthpiece of mine?

Told you I wanted a torch on.

Where is he?

Keep quiet.

This isn't business, though.

Here you are.

Well, there you are.

I got a strike by decent grubber out here.

I can do that, too.

What do you think you're trying to do?

Drive me stir nuts in this hole?

Well, you can't do it.

This is Rocky Thoth talking.

Not some small-time chiseling con.

I'm getting out of here, see?

And when I do, I am.

Carter.

This is my lunch, Carter.

I stumbled over the chair there.

Yes, clean it up.

Just bring me a cup of coffee.

Yes, Hopkins?

7558 wants to go to the hospital.

I'll make out your usual report.

Well, I'll have the doc look him over.

Where's that bitch, Allie?

With Mr. Thoth going over the books again.

Would you join them?

Count me out.

I had enough of that already.
