Original subtitles

I'm hungry.

I'm hungry.

What was that?

I'm hungry.

What?

What the hell are we doing here?

You don't remember a damn thing.

You fell asleep last night.

You couldn't stand the assemblage of creeps and

human debris at the party.

Oh.

Well.

It's all right.

All the parties are like that.

I hate all my friends.

I wish...

What's your name?

Well, you got a real dirty laugh, you

know that?

You got a name?

One night under the stars and already you

want to crawl inside my mind?

They call me...

Sure Shot.

Oh, what a drag.

Because I never miss.

I know, I know.

Sure Shot.

You know what I like about you?

I like it that you woke up with

me and you don't even remember if you

made love to me or not.

Well?

If I tell you, then you'd know.

Would it change anything?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Look at the way he moves.

Who?

My Taurus.

Taurus, my ever-loving, fire-breathing, lying, cheating

son of a bull.

So why don't you cut off his allowance?

Oh, honey.

They're all no damn good and I know

it.

And I can't live without them.

And they know it.

Oops.

Well, see how you are?

Just like everybody else.

Always having to be in love with some

guy.

If I made love to a person, I'd

know.

Ah, that's what I like about me.

I don't care that I don't remember.

Another day and nothing is going to happen

again.

Then, nothing ever happens.

Are you perfect?

Hey, wait for me.

Cops!

Oh, some machinery.

Yours?

No, it belongs to the old broad.

She rented it for me.

Hey, where is she?

Ha!

Taurus the Hustler.

You hustle rich broads in the hotels.

You watch your mouth.

I like this lady.

She's a lot of laughs.

Never took a nickel off a broad I

didn't like.

Not like some of these guys on the

take.

The way they act, you'd think they were

male.

Well, what you'd call a male hustler.

You're a drag.

No, no, no.

He's a philosopher.

He's a cheap hustler who wants to be

legit.

You shut up!

Easy, easy, easy.

You give me my respect.

You talk to me to hurt me, you're

going to get hurt back.

Do you remember that?

You all right?

Yeah.

Hey, I'm sorry.

I forgot.

She's your chick.

Taurus, you work out to stay in shape

like that?

Yeah.

I got to stay in shape in my

line of work.

Hitting women?

Nah.

I'm hanging loose, waiting for that one-in

-a-million type deal.

Then when it comes, bam, et cetera.

Like what?

I don't know.

You sure you're all right?

My name's Sandy.

You want to split?

Well, I can't swim and I won't walk.

Rob a house, any house.

Maybe I'd feel something anyway.

Taurus!

You shut up!

Early in the

sun would touch your hair Let's kidnap the

bear from the zoo.

The coffee kisses Well, the zoo isn't open

yet.

The zoo is never open.

Early in the morning Somebody ought to teach

that kid a lesson.

Shark!

Remember the Alamo?

Mama!

Mama!

Stand back!

Help!

Shark!

Help!

Shark!

Shark!

Mama!

Shark him!

I got my hands on you!

Leave him alone!

Out of my way!

What the hell's going on down there?

What is it?

Some kind of madhouse or something?

Where'd it go?

It's Sunday morning.

I'm trying to get a little sleep.

Hey, you.

Who?

Oh, excuse me.

Oh.

Ow!

Hey, come on.

Hold on.

Hey!

No!

No!

No!

Oh, no!

I'll kill you!

What do you want?

Can't you see what they want?

Monica, shut up!

You wouldn't listen!

Will you shut up?

You want money?

The wallet's upstairs on my bureau.

Take it.

There's 300 or 400 bucks up there.

Just take it and get out.

Look, that's all we've got here.

They don't want money.

Don't you see that?

Monica, will you let me handle it?

Look.

I don't want anybody hurt.

Just, just tell us what you want.

We'll cooperate.

The kid.

They want the kid!

Monica!

They were chasing him.

I knew it.

I knew it was going to come.

Oh, darling, it's all right.

Lock her in the closet.

It's going to be all right.

Mommy's here.

You want the whole neighborhood to stick their

neck in here?

Lock her in the closet?

I always do this to you, Sunday Rock.

I always do this to you.

You want to hurt me about that right

now?

I did it.

Will you lock her in the closet?

She's getting hysterical.

Lock her in the closet.

They finally did it.

They finally did it.

I knew it was coming.

I knew it.

What happened?

I knew it.

Hey, what goes?

Look.

Leave the kid alone.

You grab anybody, you grab me.

Grab you?

I won't look at your faces.

Just blindfold me.

Blindfold.

Blindfold.

Oh, Rock.

Rock, let me out of here.

Oh, you dumb broad.

Let me out of here, please.

Will you shut up?

Hey, kid.

Kid, where?

Monica, darling, are you all right?

Don't shoot.

Don't shoot, please.

Dumb broad.

Look.

I'm not going to be no hero.

My clothes are in my bedroom.

What's going on here?

Just get my clothes.

Look.

Leave the kid alone.

Now, don't yell or anything.

Just be quiet.

You people take me to want.

But stick him in with his mother.

In with his mother.

Kid, hey, kid, kid.

What's happening?

They're kidnapping me.

All right.

Let's go.

Hey, someone get his shoes, huh?

Look, I don't want to make waves.

I don't want some crazy guy trying to

help.

So stick that gun away before someone sees

it.

Hey, I can't go out like this.

There's the neighbors.

Hey, you got a car?

Broad.

Get around me.

Clothes.

Don't pull me.

It doesn't look good.

Put the top up.

Put the top up.

Put the top up?

That isn't going to hide me.

Put me in the trunk.

Put him in the trunk.

Put him in the trunk.

Get in, get in.

You okay, sir?

Hey, hey.

Wait for me.

Well, how about that?

Hey, what do you want to do with

them sure shots?

I don't know.

What do you think we should do with

them, Dallas?

We got a plan, etc.

Plan what?

Well, look, the car is hard.

Let's just park it and split.

Oh, listen, we play the game.

Let's just drop him at the next corner,

huh?

Without his pants, that'd be funny.

Ha ha!

Hey, Taurus, how much do you think this

old lady gives to get him back?

What?

What?

Of course, the wife could call the police.

Call the police?

That's socialism.

Nobody's anything for themselves anymore.

For years, I've been waiting for what you

might call a one-in-a-million type

job.

Now I've got it, and I'm gonna score.

Bam!

Accept!

You mean we call the wife, we get

the cash, we hand him back?

We call the wife, we get the cash,

we hand him back.

That's kidnapping!

Yeah, yeah, now you're rich.

I'm gonna stop war.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm gonna stop starving.

Yeah, yeah.

Stop suffering, abolish pain, everybody happy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, rich is better.

What about you?

Me?

What do we get if we split half

a million?

Why, hell, with that kind of money, a

man can do anything he wants.

What's up, England's Reach?

I think I'll give up smoking.

Red light!

With him in the trunk.

Well, you know what you did, right through

a red light.

You watched it, then you take him out.

Yes, it's my fault.

You drive me a ticket.

Yes, sirree, Bob, I surely will.

Driving on a public highway is a privilege,

it is not a right.

No, you forget the legs, you just ride

the ticket.

What did you say?

I said, just ride the ticket.

Ride the ticket and spare a selection.

All right.

Out.

Okay.

But you're not gonna like it.

Put your hands down.

No, sir.

No, you ride the ticket.

What is this, some game?

No, sir.

No, sir.

I'm Gilly.

I went through a red light.

I said I should be punished.

Ride the ticket.

Look, buddy, you're looking for trouble, you just

start with me.

Put them down.

No, sir.

You put them hands down.

No, you're mad as hell, you got a

gun.

I'm playing it safe.

Look, kid, you put them hands down.

You got a problem.

Everything you say sounds like put your hands

down.

All right, what's going on here?

I got a violator and a wise guy.

Put your hands down.

Oh, sir, I'm afraid of him.

Come on, you people, move on out of

here.

There's nothing to see.

Come on, take that car off the road.

That's another way to talk to patriotic Americans.

You stop to help a police officer in

trouble.

Who the hell's in trouble?

Why, you are.

You're hysterical.

I told you to be simple if you

just wrote the ticket.

Why don't you shut your mouth and put

your hands down?

That's an order from an officer of the

law.

All right, you can order me to obey

the law.

Now, what law says where I put my

hands when I talk to you?

You talk to a cop, you give him

some respect.

Look, officer, officer of the law.

What's that crack mean?

All right, the ticket.

All right, boy, am I writing you a

ticket?

Holy family drivers.

All right, move them cars out of here.

Nothing to look at, nothing to see.

What do you mean, there's nothing to look

at, nothing to see?

Well, is an officer writing a ticket?

There's accidents to see.

Shut your mouth.

Write the ticket.

Look, if I let you go, will you

just drop your hands?

What?

You just blew your integrity.

Are you trying to bribe me?

Bribe?

Why, yeah.

I mean, if I'm guilty, write me a

ticket.

But if I'm innocent, set me free.

Now, don't make any offers.

No, no, no, no.

No, it's dishonest.

I earned that ticket, and I want it.

This is the sheriff's department.

This is the sheriff's department.

Hey, you men need any help down there?

No, damn it.

Hey, officer, my car's on fire.

Call the fire department.

Oh, my God.

Write the ticket.

Write the ticket.

Get out of here.

Don't shoot.

Don't be too sure, wise guy.

Don't be silly.

He just wrote the ticket.

Go.

Cops.

Didn't I tell you?

Hey, where are we going to take him

now?

I know a place.

Let's

go.

Down.

Down.

Go, man.

Go.

I can handle it.

What's your name?

You don't know?

Well, of course we know.

We just want to make sure you weren't

somebody else shacked up with your own lady.

Yeah, yeah.

All right.

So, what's my name?

You tell me.

Dr. Monaco.

How much?

How much cash can your old lady get

together?

Well, five...

6,000.

Damn you.

I told you to cooperate.

But don't push it too damn far.

Please.

Easy, easy.

You're looking at us.

Where are you going for all your bread,

Dr. Monaco?

Now, do you understand that?

Everything.

So, don't you say five or 6,000.

How the hell do I know what you

can raise in a day?

You think anybody keeps cash around?

He has a house.

He has two cars.

He has a boat.

I saw it.

I saw it.

So what?

I'm in hot to the banks.

Ah, the banks.

You're not scared enough, Dr. Monaco.

What do I got to do to scare

you enough?

All right.

Tell my wife to go to my partner,

Fred.

He can get the cash from our hotel.

You own a hotel?

He owns a hotel.

He owns a hotel?

He can take it from the day receipts.

How much?

Look, you got to be reasonable.

You know, the kind of deal you kids

are talking about, you can't...

You can't take it from the day receipts.

You can't just grab out of a hat,

you know.

Ten?

12,000.

Now you're talking!

12,000!

Now you're talking!

12,000!

Boom!

Etcetera!

What are you doing for the next two,

three days?

I've got an English exam on Tuesday.

Why?

Well, he's really blowing the party.

Do something.

No sweat.

Why, wait!

Two or three days.

Two or three days?

Now, wait a minute.

Three days?

A station wagon full of dogs and kids.

And Torres is so broad, he's going to

holler about the boat.

He doesn't want to see us.

Oh, boy.

Why, he said so himself.

Don't grab the kid, grab me.

Soon he isn't knocking, it's kicking down the

damn door.

There's a tide in the affairs of men,

Torres.

Which, taken at the flood, leads on to

fortune, Torres.

Omit it, all the voyage of the life,

Torres.

Is bound by golly in shadows and misery.

How about two or three days?

Gee, kid, didn't we just make a deal?

I got your heart in my hand, huh?

Feel it.

I'm going to make you feel it.

Hey!

Come on, now.

Be realistic.

Kid!

How much?

Twenty-five.

Twenty-five?

Squeeze his heart to me.

How about thirty?

Thirty!

They only love him thirty.

Listen, will you?

Just thirty for a father, a husband, a

partner, and a friend.

A lover, a teacher, and a good provider.

Oh, man, oh, man.

They should love him more.

Two hundred thousand dollars!

That's too much!

That's too much.

Get his clothes.

Get him dressed in case we have to

cut out.

I'm going to call his wife.

Easy.

You scared?

Yes, I'm scared.

I don't think you're really scared yet.

Oh, I'm scared, kid.

Kidnapped by a beach party.

Just be careful is all I ask.

I don't want to be killed by a

mistake.

Hey, Pop.

I bet you always thought you'd die in

bed.

Is that what you believed?

Then how'd you get the guts to get

in it and go to sleep every night?

You're looking at us.

Oh, God.

Listen, kids.

You talk like you're educated.

What do you want to louse your lives

up for?

You're fooling around with the electric chair.

We're just having a kick.

Now, Torres is a thief, but I get

money from my old man every month.

Four hundred dollars, just to stay away from

him.

Torres, he thinks that's some kind of class.

But all that money.

See, all that money without working for it.

Well, it's emasculating.

Do you know what I mean?

No.

See, I pulled this job.

I killed my father.

You see, it's Oedipus Pit.

You see, ever since I was a kid,

I've had these feelings toward my mother, and

so...

naturally, I want my old man out of

the way.

I mean, I know there's a lot of

guilt, but...

but basic...

strong...

sexual feelings like these are undeniable.

Oh, that's filthy.

Your own mother.

It's sickening, I agree.

I'm the product of a happy home.

What are you?

What are you, kids?

I try to talk, and it's like...

like you're out in space or something.

All this jazzy talking...

and jokes.

It's all a game to you.

That's right, and just when you get with

it, baby, we change the rules.

Cops, cops.

Where?

Come on, come on.

Come on.

What do you think, Bill?

Kids, listen to me.

If you're smart, you'll all just get out

and run like hell.

It ain't too late.

Gee, attractive kids like you messing up your

lives.

Look at me.

I was a product of the slums, and

I made it.

They followed another car.

They won't see us in here.

Yeah.

Yesterday was my anniversary, Monica and me.

A bunch of friends gave us a dinner

last night.

I got up and made a speech at

this restaurant where we went.

Me.

A speech.

Oh, I must have raved on for about

a half an hour about all the good

things.

And how happy I was to have found

the woman I love.

And she loved me.

And how there we were.

Right in God's pocket.

And we still love each other.

After 15 years of being married.

I didn't care if I was boring everybody.

Because I wanted them to share in my

success.

You're not talking to some guy who's always

hollering about the lousy world.

Sure, it's lousy.

But if you just get your heart started

with a smile.

That's what my mother always said.

You feel blue?

Put your mouth in a smile.

And get your heart in gear.

I don't know.

Maybe I am living in a dream.

But don't wake me up if I gotta

live like you kids.

Why don't you clean yourself up and marry

some guy?

Now we gotta get to a phone.

Get out.

Get over there.

It's alright.

It's alright.

You know, I got to thinking about something

else.

My luck was too good.

I should have known.

I should have known that.

All the luck.

And fun.

And love I've had in my life.

You can't keep coming up servants.

Sometime you gotta crap out.

Yes, sir.

They're gonna even up the score.

So you know who you kids are?

You're my bad luck.

And you come just in time.

Because I was getting pretty...

cocky in there.

What?

I said, for $200,000, you keep the

son of a bitch.

The Lord works.

Hey, what's wrong?

In damn mysterious ways, as wonders to perform.

You think you're in trouble, and there you

are.

Right in God's pocket.

We'll see about that.

Go on, you bring him over the phone.

Go on.

Go on, bring him over now.

So this money, you know what it's gonna

set me back?

At my age?

It's cheap at the price.

Believe me, everything turns out for the best.

If you just put your mouth in a

smile, and you hang in there.

Okay, you say that again, lady.

Monica.

It's Rock, Monica.

I'm all right, darling.

Look, they want $200,000, but you gotta

be careful they collect it so you don't

attract notice.

Because we don't want cops.

Right, Monica?

Monica, say something.

What's wrong?

Listen, Rock...

Are you alone?

Can you talk?

I'm alone.

Oh, honey, now don't worry.

Nothing's gonna happen.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Oh, darling, I love you.

Oh, Rock, what's the use of talking like

that?

What do you mean, what's the use?

Well, you're kidnapped, right?

No kidnapper needs right mind that's gonna let

you go free, darling.

Monica, will you let me...

Please don't interrupt.

This is very hard for me to say

right out, and I only want to say

it once.

I did think about it.

I sat down and I added everything up.

Listen, where'd you put the adding machine?

I had to add it up by hand,

and I'd forgotten how almost.

Adding machine?

Are you a damn fool?

They're gonna kill me.

That's what I keep trying to tell you.

The sooner you accept it, the easier it's

gonna be for all of us.

Mother of God, what have you been drinking?

Now, I could get a second mortgage on

the house.

I could sell the car.

I could even sell the house.

But we still have no guarantee they're gonna

let you go.

Your jewels.

You can have your jewels.

My jewels?

You gave them to me.

Well, give them back.

How can you argue?

You always had a very cavalier attitude toward

my things.

Like they were yours by law or something.

Oh, my God.

What if they do kill you?

Then I've given away everything.

My jewels, our kid's future, for nothing.

Oh, like always, Rock, you only think of

yourself.

Your three minutes are up.

Wait.

Let's go.

Double-claws.

She don't want them.

He made a speech how they loved each

other.

Now he's gonna get it.

Hey, slow down.

No, no, wait a minute.

Somebody's gotta want them.

Well, somebody better.

A whole shrimp for a top garnish?

Give me that knife.

To a customer, this is a whole shrimp.

To me, it's profit or loss.

Profit, for God's sakes, or loss.

Write that down.

Yeah?

Fred.

Fred, it's me.

Rock.

Who?

Rock.

I didn't come in today because I got

into a little jam.

Harry.

Fred, Fred.

What's wrong with the steak?

Why are you taking the steak back?

The guy said it was too well done.

Very simple.

Turn it over, put it on a grill,

burn it so the guy don't recognize it

and try it on him again.

Fred, forget about the steaks.

Will you let the kitchen go?

Let it go?

Who are you, absentee landlord?

Look, Fred.

I need cash.

Fred, will you come back?

I don't know about salad.

Is he kidding with the...

What does the salad chef do to me?

He thinks I'm a millionaire in lettuce.

Will you forget about the lettuce?

Will you do me a favor?

Will you pile that lettuce high so it

looks big?

Fred, Fred, let the salad...

To me, it's profit or loss.

Fred, Fred, are you there?

You want cash.

Did you say that you need cash?

A lot of cash.

What is it, that broad and chat's worth?

I told you she was murder.

Fred, it's not the broad.

Now, will you hear me?

Look, Rock.

If you want cash, you'll get my full

attention.

Believe me.

Just listen to me.

I've been kidnapped.

They want...

$200,000.

$200,000 what?

Dollars.

What are you trying to do?

I'm in the middle of a dinner rush.

Will you forget about the dinner rush?

Fred, they've got a gun.

I could die.

All right, look, Rock.

Yeah?

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

Yeah?

For your interest in the place, I could

put up $100,000.

$100,000?

Who are you, thief?

You asked me to bring you into the

business.

I brought you in.

Now I need you.

I ask you for a favor, and you're

dealing.

$100,000.

For an asset that's worth $3 million?

Yeah, in the open market, Rock.

But you're in a forced sale situation, pal.

You can't expect to get top dollar.

You're sending me out to die.

There is no reason for you to get

emotional over a little negotiation.

Fred.

Gee, I liked you.

I liked you too, Rock.

But this is the hotel business.

A nickel here and a dime there.

It's the whole crazy world.

But like always, you only think of yourself.

Rock, you understand that, don't you?

I mean, I don't want you to think

that I don't have the highest regard for

you and Monica.

If I thought there was a chance that

they'd let you go, I...

Well, call them back.

Get them back on the phone.

Get them back!

Get them back!

Dump him!

Dump him!

Dump him!

It's no good.

Let him go?

He'll go straight to the cops.

Right there in Doc's pocket.

Yes, sir.

Jingling along in his loose chain.

Shut up.

What a lousy place to start.

Somebody better come up with that money quick,

Mr. Delmonico.

I know.

Who you calling?

Sam the tailor.

That's the syndicate.

Yeah.

Sam!

Who's that?

Rock.

Delmonico, Sam.

For God's sake.

How's Bella and her kid?

She must be in high school by now.

He's married with kids his own.

They're beating us to death with a calendar,

Sam.

That's right, Rock.

Sam.

I've been kidnapped.

Who?

Detroit Mob?

No, Chicago.

St. Louis?

Local?

Beach Boys.

Oh.

Sam.

Yeah.

They want $200,000.

I belong to you.

Not anymore, Rock.

What do you mean, not anymore, Sam?

You had the guts to be a prince,

but you was afraid.

Afraid?

I was never afraid of anything.

Afraid not to be respectable, Rock.

I never asked for a thing.

Afraid not to have that house in the

suburb.

The plot of Almeida, I swore it.

Mafia.

You lost your respect for the old way.

I swore the blood oath, Sam.

You lost your faith in it.

Lost my faith, Sam.

I'm asking you to help.

You ain't a syndicate man.

You said it was forever.

Life ain't like that, Rock.

Bail me out.

I'll pay you back.

Life ain't like that either.

Sam, you're killing me.

I know, Rock.

Sam, you go to church?

Sure.

Don't you feel like a hypocrite sitting there?

No.

The music is very nice.

Church is very nice.

And you're at peace with your soul.

Yeah.

I kept the oath.

I'm gonna get out of this, Sam.

And I'm gonna kill you.

Don't kill us.

We'll kill you.

I'm gonna come in the night.

And with my bare hands, I'm gonna kill

you.

Do you know who I snatched?

One of the cats that rule the world,

that's all.

That's it.

I'm leaving.

Look at him.

Look at him.

Look at him.

Who's he gonna call now?

Mama.

Rock, my son.

I thought you were gonna call on Thursday.

Mama.

But I don't blame you.

Oh, you young people got lives full of

activities.

Mama.

Well, enjoy it.

I'm in trouble.

What is it?

That wife of yours, huh?

I never said anything.

Oh, it's not, Monica.

For God's sakes, Mama.

Let's not get into that again.

Get into what again?

I've been kidnapped.

You've been what?

I've been kidnapped.

No.

There's a man...

with a gun beside me.

I gotta give him all the money you

can raise.

Mama.

Would you sell your house?

The beautiful house you built for my old

age?

Why?

I told you, I've been kidnapped.

Did you try to get away?

You didn't, did you?

Don't you understand he's got a gun?

You could do it if you tried.

I know you, Rock.

I know you better than you think.

Do I know you?

You're my son.

My little baby boy.

You won't sell your house.

Oh, my son.

This too shall pass.

If you just put your mouth in a

smile...

and get it in gear.

Yeah.

It's always darkest before the dawn.

You know how I always say that.

It'll be all right...

if you just put your mouth in a

smile.

Monica.

God.

Fifteen years.

Didn't any of it...

mean anything?

Monica, say something.

Help me.

Help me.

Wasted.

A whole bit wasted.

Man.

Oh, man, oh, man.

Where are you driving, Tars?

Where are we going?

All my life I'm hanging loose waiting for

this tiger...

and they don't want him?

What are we gonna do now, Tars?

We can't keep him or we can't let

him go.

Oh.

Who's the big man now, huh?

Where's the big time solid citizen?

Who's got it made, huh?

You're gonna get it now.

Hey.

Hey, what did we stop for?

This must be the place.

Come on.

Purely as a private person...

my principle wish at this time is to

split.

Sure, run like hell.

Gotta scrag him.

Think he can hear you?

Because of them about him.

If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be

in this mess.

That's good thinking.

Now, that's logical.

I'm not killing anybody.

Ah, it'd be easy if it wasn't so

hot.

What am I doing here?

I've got an English exam on Tuesday.

Look at it this way.

If I kill him, I'm doing Sam the

tattler a favor.

Yeah, et cetera.

If I let him go, he's gonna talk.

Sir, you wouldn't tell the cops about us,

would you?

You could just forget about us.

Oh, man.

Oh, man.

College kids.

I'm not gonna take off heat.

We're in this together, et cetera.

What are we supposed to do?

All put a bullet in him?

Me.

Me with the speech.

I made a speech.

I must have raved on for a half

an hour.

About how happy I was.

We got a good house.

It's what you wanted.

I'll tell you why.

Shoot her if you want to.

Where's the house?

Where's the house?

I'm putting a roof over it.

It was all a fake.

A lie.

A lie that they made up.

Oh, God.

What a fool.

What a sucker.

I don't

want to play this game.

Where the hell do you think you're going?

Well, she's got an English exam on Tuesday.

You wanted kicks.

Better you were going for chicken feet.

They were gonna dump me.

No.

Gonna make the meat delivers.

First kid that cuts out on me is

gonna burn.

What are you doing?

First, we get me some shaving stuff and

some clothes.

You, get this place cleaned up.

See if you can find a newspaper or

a phone book.

I'm gonna turn Miami Beach upside down and

stomp what crawls out.

What are you doing?

I'm taking this thing over.

What is he doing?

You're kidnapping yourself.

You got it.

I like it.

There he is, the new woman.

You ready?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who the hell are you?

Herbie.

I'm Herbie.

Let's get some discipline.

It's a professional pride around here.

Now you're talking.

First, I teach you to steal.

A new car.

That lemon of Monica's is a whore's dream

of paradise.

You steal a car, steal something with a

large sales volume.

Why?

So there's plenty around.

Your plain gray economy job.

There's your deal.

And keep changing your clothes.

Sure, but...

Now, Dom, I gotta teach you everything.

You gotta get dry of the objective.

I got an H.

And get in gear.

Here's unwisely.

We're gonna do this right.

Here's a fry.

What have you got so far?

Mrs. Delmonico, this is your last chance to

take the husband.

Put save your husband in big letters.

Oh, that's good.

Oh, and add save your husband and yourself.

I got an N.

If you go on unwisely ignoring our instructions,

not only is Dr. Monica gonna die, but

you are gonna fry.

Hey, I'm a poet.

To save his life, your husband will reveal

information about his business dealings, which will land

you and his business associates and all others

concerned in jail.

Because of your stupid refusal to cooperate, we

are raising the ransom to...

$300,000!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Rock Delmonico is dead.

Look in the bag.

Go see his wife or ask your partner.

Who pays you cops anyway?

I don't know, detective.

Where can we find him?

Out of town on business.

But look, don't go to his wife.

The man's got girls.

I just wanna talk to him.

Well, you can't.

He's got Asian flu.

Contagious.

When he feels up to it, have him

call me.

Asian flu?

Oh, fine.

I said he was out of town.

Call the cops.

Watch out for the canal.

You, down that way.

Coat.

Gun.

It's my gun.

You're not out of the woods yet.

Not until I see some cash.

That's good thinking.

You stick with me.

I'm gonna take you under my wing personally.

No.

Yeah.

Shoot the coat.

Okay, Mr. Delmonico.

Let Monica and Fred explain that to the

cops.

If it's Delmonico's boat, how'd it get across

the bay?

I don't know, inspector.

Oh.

Why couldn't it burn?

Let the fire department look bad.

Let the coast guard look bad.

You're sure this is Delmonico's coat?

You're sure this is a bullet hole?

Right in the back.

Leading citizen murdered right in the middle of

the tourist season.

You don't have to worry about your damn

image.

You don't have to worry about talking to

the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club.

You don't even have to worry about keeping

your weight down.

All right, let's face it.

Rock Delmonico's dead.

Now, let's look good on it.

You said your husband had Asian flu, Mrs.

Delmonico?

Oh, my God.

I hoped if I kept my mouth shut,

they wouldn't do it.

Why didn't you call us?

They told me not to.

What did they want?

Money.

$200,000.

I couldn't raise all that.

Did you try to raise the money?

I mean, did you borrow from a bank?

A friend?

A relative?

Nobody?

Sell your house?

Your jewels?

You didn't even try to raise the money?

Well, how did they contact you?

By phone.

No note.

Oh, Monica, this looks bad.

I mean, it looks like murder to me,

and you don't have any proof it's kidnapping.

If there was just a note so we

could see.

Okay, pay attention.

Mrs. Delmonico, get up the door or your

husband will die.

That's the nail in that coffin.

Do you pray?

Delmonico is telling all.

Internal revenue service, tax returns for 59, 60,

61, 62, 63, 64.

Need we say more?

Dear Sam the tailor, if Rock Delmonico dies,

he dies singing.

It's not going to cost you a half

a million to keep him from singing.

About Louis over the Wall and how he

died in Philadelphia in 1934.

Little Joe Pineapple, Chicago, 1932.

Joe Pineapple?

Mother Ginger McGee, Kansas City, 1955.

Not urgent.

Sleepout Sylvester, Frisco, 47.

Sleepout?

Any way you want it, Lipsky, Chicago, 47.

Any way you want it.

No name Stransky, St. Louis, 1955.

No name Stransky?

Names like music.

Oh, that's my song.

Listen, this is dynamite.

Hey, boobie, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Rock Delmonico's dead.

Murdered.

Car theft.

It's like an epidemic sweeping the city.

Top of the tourist season.

Nation's top hoods are gathering here.

Why here?

What do they want?

Why not Toledo?

Why not Buffalo?

Something's going to happen.

It's going to be in all the papers.

I know it.

Yeah.

I want to talk with Sam the tailor.

Family business.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sam, hello.

You there with all the boys?

Yeah, we all here.

Oh, Detroit Louie, Arnie Banana.

Hey, Arnie.

Yeah.

How's the frow?

Everybody's here waiting.

Oh, I'll bet that's a gas.

A real family reunion.

Oh, I wish I could be there, Sam.

Yeah, we wish you was here too.

Sam.

What do you say about a million five?

A million five?

For what?

For what I know.

From the old days.

The old days.

The cops don't care no more about that.

Anyway, what do you know the cops could

use?

Oh, Sam.

The cops.

I swore the oath.

I seized my blood with yours.

I wouldn't talk to outsiders.

Hey, Stefano.

Is Stefano there?

Black, where you been hiding?

Oh, right here all the time, pally.

Listen.

You know the time in the packing plant

in Detroit back in 38?

They hung your brother and your uncle on

the meat hooks?

Yeah.

What about it?

You ever know who did it?

Romano Squillicchioli.

Shut up!

Shut up!

What's that?

What are you doing?

I'm singing, Sam.

And I ain't gonna sing to no cops.

I'm gonna sing you a song called...

Yeah.

Rock.

We got to give this a little thought.

Yeah.

You give it a little thought.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What do we do?

You know what we do.

Pay him!

Oh, Monica.

Look, I say if there's a note, right

away you'd give me a note, but it's

got a big fat fingerprint on it.

Monica Delmonico's fingerprint.

Now, what am I to think?

But it's true.

They came in and they grabbed him.

Did you try to raise the money?

No.

Did you call for help?

No.

Do you have any proof?

No.

Was it your husband's coat with the bullet

hole in it?

Yes.

Was it your book?

Yes.

Where were you?

Out.

Do you have a witness?

Name, Arnold Delmonico.

Rank, Captain, serial number four.

Tell the knife man what you saw, darling.

Blow it out of your stack and swivel.

What are you, some kind of a turncoat?

I'm not telling him nothing except name, Arnold

Delmonico.

Rank, Captain, serial number four.

Don't leave town, Monica.

We're going to be watching you.

All right, Mr. Captain, smart guy.

Uncle Fred's coming.

Wait till he hears about this.

When you're ready to talk, you can eat.

Oh.

Who are you?

What are you doing in my house?

Get out of here.

Rock.

Why?

You're alive.

Yeah.

Rock, we got trouble.

Trouble?

When you can't go to the bathroom.

That's trouble.

Us, Fred?

Uncle Fred.

What is this, some kind of a plot?

You're in it with them.

Oh, yeah.

Now, kids.

Lights.

I want you to meet the little homemaker.

Hot sale for breakfast.

Washes whiter than white.

We think of her as the all-American

bomb.

Like making love to a sacred cow.

A ball.

Eagles.

Amphionic exercise.

A regular Fourth of July parade.

With flags.

And cherry bombs.

How do you do, Mrs. Delmonico?

To do.

To do.

Why?

I was all alone.

Why?

What's a woman supposed to do without some

kind of a man?

Fred.

A clown.

He was here.

Anyway, who needs all that loving?

I don't.

Why?

I thought they'd kill you no matter what

I did.

I had to think about the kid, our

future.

It was all a fake.

Leave me alone.

What are you doing?

Now, I put it to you.

You and your paramour friend.

The victim's business partner.

Use the kidnapping of your husband as your

method to commit the perfect crime.

Do it.

To murder him.

By holding back the ransom.

These are lies.

Aha!

That was the flaw in your perfect crime.

The victim didn't die.

Ten years.

I've been looking at these rotting ducks.

There's no law against not paying a ransom.

Oh, listen to what I ask you.

I ask you.

All you had to fear was a little

criticism from the neighbours.

Come on, get on with it, will you?

What?

Here.

Now you have the murder weapon with your

big, fat fingerprints all over it.

Fifteen years.

Of what?

Of being treated like the furniture around here?

You wallowing around on your harem of pigs.

Watching the back of your head in football

on TV.

Come on, more, more.

Better, better.

All right.

Where were you the night I bore our

child?

Where was I?

I was with...

I was with, uh...

You see?

You see, he can't say it.

He chokes on the name.

You're right.

I was shacked up with Harry J.

Brambetter, tax consultant.

Lying there alone.

In a damn street at a hundred bucks

a day.

Wondering where he was.

Who had the best opposition I could buy?

With who's money?

Is that what you wanted to say?

That's it.

You made me what I am, Rock.

A front.

Keeping a house that said, Rock Delmonico is

not a cheap hood.

A car.

A car that said, Rock Delmonico is not

a cheap hood.

And a coat.

A mink coat that says, Rock Delmonico is

not a cheap hood.

You feel that, baby?

Bam, et cetera.

That fairy decorator.

Who said, Monica Delmonico is not married to

a cheap hood.

Hey, play.

Kid, will you play?

Come on.

Hey, there.

Easy, coat.

Easy, coat.

Good day, Miami.

From all the world.

Now we can talk.

Monica.

Talk about what?

Mom, I heard something.

Hey, kid.

It's me.

I'm home.

For good?

Well, I, uh...

Yeah.

It's going to be the same thing all

over again.

Go to sleep, darling.

Good night.

See you in the morning.

Fred!

I'm sick.

Giving money away.

Makes my stomach hurt.

What happened?

He was here.

Rock's alive.

No.

It's all there.

Every nickel, like the note said.

Fred!

Monica, my dear, this has been the most

wonderful week in my entire life.

You understand, but I think we met too

soon or too late, my dear.

And besides, if Rock's alive, you're not free.

Sell everything and put the money in the

bank.

Sell the stock.

Sell the bonds.

Sell the house.

Sell the cars.

Sell the jewels to a fence.

Now, take all the money out of the

bank.

5,001s, 10,005s, 10,010s, 10,020s,

200,000 in fifties.

Wait here.

Friends of your husband will bring a token

of their regard.

Tell Monica, when you see your husband, tell

him, you both better have legs or we're

gonna find you.

I hope you don't think I had anything

to do with all this.

This is the last letter, my love.

It contains instructions you have to follow to

the last detail.

If you know what's good for you.

All that money funneled into Monica.

Bob's in town.

Car thefts like an epidemic sweeping the city.

I'm not saying the Cummings are behind this.

I'm not saying they're not either.

Sir, for a start, we could arrest Fred

and Monica for murder.

Hell, no.

We save them for the Sunday editions.

Something's gonna happen.

I feel it.

Look at them out there.

They're all out there.

They're all in it together.

It's gonna happen.

It's gonna happen tonight.

I can smell it.

Tell Monica's body's still in the bay.

Monica and Fred with all that syndicate money.

If they make a break for it, that's

when we grab them.

Murder, extortion, flight, evade, justice.

It's beautiful.

Don't louse it up for me, O'Reilly.

Take plenty of men.

We gotta look good on it.

Can't sleep?

No.

You got everybody figured out but your mother.

That's why you can't sleep?

No.

You never get back at mother.

My mom, always very big, teach me how

not to be afraid to fight.

She'd haul off and give me a belt,

knock me clear across the room, right into

the wall.

I'd say to her, what's that for?

She says, for nothing.

So watch out.

It's her way of teaching us kids how

to be tough.

Now she's an old lady.

What good's it gonna do me to paste

her one?

Like the broad that hit her little kid

to make him a tough guy, she's a

very old lady.

What are you gonna do?

They got you licked, coming and going.

Mothers.

Girl.

Can you sleep now?

Girl.

You know, I've been looking at you all

evening.

I've been wondering, what's a nice girl like

you doing in a crummy joint like this?

Chemistry.

Very powerful.

Chemistry.

I like it.

You love it.

Oops.

I'm not crazy about the way you just

said that.

I know.

Let's split this comic strip.

Last week, you liked it.

Last week, I didn't care if I lived

or died.

There you go.

There you go, just like all the rest.

Having to be in love with some guy.

Mm-hmm.

What's that?

What am I doing here?

You won't remember a damn thing.

You got it.

You got a hell of a future.

You blew yours, man.

We're not making the same mistake.

Not that you're through with this, you're not.

Tore him, whatever the hell your name is.

It's your war, not ours.

I don't want you spilling your guts to

some cop.

I'm not going to some cop.

He hates cops.

I hate cops.

Who the hell knows what you hate or

what you're going to do.

You don't know yourself.

You got a job, keep an eye on

him.

They want to cut out?

You're keeping us against our will.

That's kidnapping.

You got it.

What do we ever do to you?

Nothing.

Without you, I'd be home with my wife

and kid.

But thanks to you, you came along.

You took the blinkers off.

To you, it was just a game.

Watch out for these rich kids.

Oh, they talk real good.

They eat everything on the plate.

It's guys like you and me that pay,

pay and pay.

Sorry.

You're sorry.

How's it started, kid?

Wait until you get the dough.

Then it gets rough.

Somebody didn't love it enough.

You leave in one hour.

Okay.

It's going to be...

It's going to be swell.

You'll see.

Let's move it out.

All of it.

That's right.

Take me to the airport.

This is JL6 calling Miami 2-4.

Red.

Monica.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

I got a letter telling me to come

here.

So did I.

Where are you going?

I'm going to Mexico.

Well, I'm going to Mexico, too.

Something fishy going on here.

Walk.

Oh.

Going somewhere, folks?

I wouldn't.

I haven't done anything.

What are you doing here?

Get your hands off me.

Easy, easy.

Get your hands off me.

Easy, easy.

Easy, easy.

Oh, Monica.

Leave that alone.

That's mine.

Take your hands off me.

All right, Monica.

Where's the money?

That's it.

Where's that baggage room, miss?

Into the baggage room, sir.

We're railing unit four.

Get on the baggage room right now.

Come on, you guys.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Do you find it?

Nothing goes out of here till we find

that bag.

You see it?

You see it?

Come on.

Come here you filthy.

Pick any of her things.

Get any of you filthy.

Hey, Mr. Delmonico, we made it!

You are hip!

Come on now!

Smell it.

You smell it.

What do you smell?

What do you smell?

Oh, a retro man's curse.

No, no, no.

Perfect.

Slim hips.

Elegant.

No, no, no.

Move on a leash.

Power, man!

Power!

Power!

Bang!

Yeah!

Come on, we have our fun.

Let's get a dividend split.

Oh!

He's back.

But he's changed.

Can't stand success.

Bullshit.

Loppity!

Who's waiting around?

I'm liable to slap you alongside the pain,

yeah?

Hey!

Don't you know your place, boy?

Cut it out, will ya?

How much we got?

Almost three million.

Three million.

Boy, this is not a beach party.

Like, all the hands, like, like professionals.

Yeah, I'm gonna buy me an island, you

know?

For the cats I dig.

The studs and the chicks who are out

of it.

You know?

Mr. Delmonico can come.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

You're a million and one type deer.

Come on.

There he is.

Come on.

Get out of here.

Look at this, Mr. Delmonico.

You're one in a million type deer, huh?

Take his arm off.

You thought us good, Peach?

How to steal and stomp.

Boss!

Hey!

I spoke to Peach.

My whole life.

I thought it would be bigger.

Leave him alone.

Hey, Mr. Delmonico, you, uh...

You really got back with all those crumbs

Look, uh, Mr. Delmonico.

When you talk, I listen, huh?

I'm not kidding.

I listen, huh?

I know what we gotta do.

I'm gonna do it.

You don't have to do any of the

rough stuff, huh?

First, I'll kill Sure Shot.

Then I'll kill Sandy.

And then I'll leave, uh...

What's his name?

What the hell are you giving me?

No, wait a minute.

Wait a minute, Mr. Delmonico.

You and me, huh?

50-50, huh?

Look, that's my money in there.

What did it get me?

You!

Hey.

What's wrong?

What'd I do wrong, huh?

What'd I have to do to satisfy you,

huh?

What do you want from me?

Nothing.

You're up to no good.

You're a punk.

I'm a punk?

Why, you...

You!

All right, good enough, huh?

Okay, we'll see about that.

Now, I make up the rules.

One guy gets all the dough, see?

Okay, I'm gonna kill them all.

And I will see about you, Delmonico.

Bam, et cetera.

It's been lovely, people.

A weekend for the memory books?

You wanted kicks?

This is kicks, honey.

Okay.

You want all the dough?

That's not it.

You know my face.

Watch your hand.

Get over there.

30?

40?

Get over there, you!

I'm not wasting time!

Move it!

Oh, shit.

Uh-huh.

You ready, Mr. Delmonico, huh?

You watching?

Huh?

You're never gonna do it.

Oh.

Oh, I'm gonna do it.

You watching?

I'm gonna do it now.

I'm gonna blow a hole in him.

Are you watching, Mr. Delmonico?

Because I'm gonna do it now.

But this has gone too far.

Ah, he's never gonna rate.

San Mateo wouldn't send this punk out for

coffee.

He's gonna use that thing.

He's gonna use it.

I know this crazy punk.

He's not gonna do it.

He'll only kill you if you beg and

pray.

One more word out of you, Delmonico, and

you get it first!

I take you with me.

I hope he has the decency to shoot

me first so I don't have to see

you all suffer.

Hey, Dora.

Hey, Dora.

Cut that out!

Hey, Dora.

You!

Cut that out!

Oh, you little fool.

You're just a little lap dog with a

rich broads.

Hey, hey.

You don't use that thing.

Are you like that with the broads?

No, no.

He smacks them in the mouth.

Ha, ha, ha.

If they need it.

Poor broads don't hit back, do they?

No, because they'd scream if they did.

And you?

And the husbands would cut off the money.

See, I told you.

Hey!

That's my boy.

You did it.

You finally did it.

Hey.

Hey, you can use that gun, huh?

Yeah.

You're a dope.

Everything I gotta teach him.

Come here.

What are you gonna do with the bodies?

You can't just leave them lying in the

street.

There's a science.

Some guys are like artists, the way they

set up a hit.

In a proper and precise manner.

Hey.

Give me the gun.

No, no, no.

That's my gun.

I'll show you how to do it.

Honest.

Now, do you want me to show you

what to do with this...

power of...

life and death?

Huh?

Don't take it so big.

What are you doing?

Look, the money's no good.

Oh, my God, you threw it away.

Poor dope.

He thinks the syndicate gives away money.

He thinks Monica gives away money.

He thinks Frank gives away money.

He thinks the banks give away money.

What are you saying?

They're all gonna get it back somehow.

That money is marked.

It's a fake.

Look, listen up, will you?

The whole thing was a fake.

Look.

Oh, it was all a game.

It's just a game.

I was playing with kids.

I worked so hard.

Haven't I taught you anything about this lousy

world?

All right.

Oh, no!

Help me!

You creep!

You...

Bastard!

Who can trust you?

Yeah, thanks.

I almost had my eye on paradise.

They all hated you.

Even your mother hated you.

Yeah!

Yeah!

You saved me.

I'm really very grateful.

There's gotta be a reason for hatred like

that.
