1
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:19,274
Make it fast.
2
00:04:19,416 --> 00:04:21,075
Don't want the boys
to get wise.
3
00:04:22,833 --> 00:04:24,406
Jees!
4
00:04:25,942 --> 00:04:31,515
Ain't the old bastard a riot when he starts
that bull about "turnin' over a new leaf"?
5
00:04:32,061 --> 00:04:33,646
"Not a damn drink
on the house," he tells me,
6
00:04:34,118 --> 00:04:37,679
"and all these bums have gotta pay up their
room rent beginning tomorrow," he says.
7
00:04:40,319 --> 00:04:41,088
I'm glad to pay up...
8
00:04:41,545 --> 00:04:43,364
tomorrow.
9
00:04:44,941 --> 00:04:47,821
And I know my fellow inmates
will promise the same.
10
00:04:48,467 --> 00:04:51,036
They've all a touching credulity
concerning tomorrows.
11
00:04:52,850 --> 00:04:56,487
It'll be a great day for them tomorrow,
The Feast of All Fools.
12
00:04:58,007 --> 00:04:59,880
And their ships will come in
loaded to the gunwales,
13
00:05:00,432 --> 00:05:05,186
with cancelled regrets and promises
fulfilled, and clean slates and new leases.
14
00:05:05,750 --> 00:05:07,049
Yeah, and a ton of hope!
15
00:05:07,799 --> 00:05:09,016
Don't mock their faith.
16
00:05:10,295 --> 00:05:13,240
You no respect for religion,
you unregenerate Wop?
17
00:05:14,511 --> 00:05:17,248
What does it matter if the truth is
that their favoring breeze
18
00:05:17,642 --> 00:05:19,532
will have the stink of nickel whiskey
on its breath?
19
00:05:20,693 --> 00:05:23,724
And their sea will be a growler
of lager and ale?
20
00:05:25,924 --> 00:05:28,975
And their ships will long since be looted
and scuttled, and sunk on the bottom?
21
00:05:30,528 --> 00:05:31,816
The hell with the truth.
22
00:05:32,992 --> 00:05:35,928
The history of the world proves that truth
has no bearing on anything.
23
00:05:37,954 --> 00:05:41,966
It's the lie of the pipe dream that gives
life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us,
24
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,280
drunk or sober.
25
00:05:45,667 --> 00:05:46,992
The old Foolosopher,
like Hickey calls you.
26
00:05:47,576 --> 00:05:49,568
I suppose you don't fall
for no pipe dreams.
27
00:05:50,168 --> 00:05:51,280
No, I don't.
28
00:05:52,177 --> 00:05:54,152
Mine are dead and buried
behind me.
29
00:05:55,919 --> 00:05:59,792
What's before me is the fact
that death is a fine long sleep.
30
00:06:00,532 --> 00:06:03,872
I'm damn tired,
and it can't come too soon for me.
31
00:06:04,571 --> 00:06:06,987
Yeah, just hangin' around,
hopin' you croak, ain't you?
32
00:06:07,728 --> 00:06:09,792
Well, I'm bettin' you have
a good long wait.
33
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,008
Jees, somebody'd have
to take an ax to croak you!
34
00:06:14,703 --> 00:06:17,496
Yeah, it's my bad luck to be
cursed with an iron constitution
35
00:06:18,072 --> 00:06:19,903
that even Harry's booze
can't corrode.
36
00:06:20,495 --> 00:06:23,044
The old Anarchist wise guy
that knows all the answers.
37
00:06:24,233 --> 00:06:25,656
Forget the anarchist
part of it.
38
00:06:26,896 --> 00:06:28,816
I'm through with
the Movement long since.
39
00:06:30,376 --> 00:06:33,112
I saw that, if men wanted to be safe
from themselves,
40
00:06:34,576 --> 00:06:36,401
that would mean they'd
have to give up greed.
41
00:06:37,416 --> 00:06:38,969
I wouldn't pay
that price for liberty.
42
00:06:40,193 --> 00:06:44,122
So I said to the world, "God bless all here
"and may the best man win...
43
00:06:44,770 --> 00:06:46,392
and die of gluttony."
44
00:06:47,343 --> 00:06:50,257
I took a seat in the grand stand
of philosophical detachment.
45
00:06:52,032 --> 00:06:55,025
Fall asleep observing the cannibals
do their death dance.
46
00:06:57,313 --> 00:06:58,413
Grab another ball, Larry.
47
00:07:02,230 --> 00:07:05,859
You'd never think all these bums
had a bed upstairs to go to.
48
00:07:06,708 --> 00:07:09,652
Scared if they hit the hay
they wouldn't be here when Hickey showed up,
49
00:07:10,437 --> 00:07:12,294
and they'd miss
a couple of drinks.
50
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:16,356
Me, it's not so much the hope of booze,
but I've got the blues.
51
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:20,493
And Hickey's a great one to make a
joke of everything and cheer you up.
52
00:07:20,964 --> 00:07:22,324
Yes, some kidder!
53
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,220
Remember how he works up that gag
about his wife when he's cockeyed?
54
00:07:26,852 --> 00:07:29,802
Crying over a picture
and then spilling in on you all of a sudden
55
00:07:30,299 --> 00:07:32,261
that he left her in the hay
with the iceman?
56
00:07:33,524 --> 00:07:35,022
Yeah, I wonder
what's happenin'.
57
00:07:36,331 --> 00:07:39,189
You could set your watch
by his periodicals before this.
58
00:07:39,819 --> 00:07:42,334
We always got here a couple of days
before Harry's birthday party,
59
00:07:43,060 --> 00:07:45,188
and now he's only got
'till tonight to make it.
60
00:07:45,663 --> 00:07:47,201
Willie sure is
on the bottom.
61
00:07:47,344 --> 00:07:52,581
I ain't never seen no one so bad except
Hickey on end of a couple of his bats.
62
00:07:53,950 --> 00:07:57,150
It's a great game, the pursuit of happiness.
63
00:07:57,781 --> 00:07:59,216
I don't even know
what to do about him.
64
00:07:59,981 --> 00:08:03,710
He called up his old lady's lawyer,
like he always does when Willie gets licked.
65
00:08:05,035 --> 00:08:08,854
You remember, they used to send down a
private dick to give him the rush to a cure.
66
00:08:09,790 --> 00:08:11,510
But the lawyer
tells Harry nix.
67
00:08:12,141 --> 00:08:15,614
The old lady is off of Willie for keeps
this time, and he can go to hell.
68
00:08:19,116 --> 00:08:20,494
There's a consolation
he hasn't got far to go.
69
00:08:21,045 --> 00:08:23,687
Ahhhh!
70
00:08:24,734 --> 00:08:26,565
It's a goddamned lie!
71
00:08:27,293 --> 00:08:28,294
Nix, nix!
Oh, papa!
72
00:08:28,850 --> 00:08:30,397
Hey, you, nix!
73
00:08:30,931 --> 00:08:33,849
Cut out the noise!
Oh, Jesus, papa!
74
00:08:34,579 --> 00:08:35,873
Who's that yelling?
75
00:08:36,428 --> 00:08:38,255
Willie, boss, the Brooklyn boys is after him.
76
00:08:38,989 --> 00:08:41,419
Then why don't you give the poor
fella a drink and keep him quiet?
77
00:08:42,772 --> 00:08:45,842
Bejees, can't I get a wink
of sleep in my own back room?
78
00:08:46,588 --> 00:08:49,079
Listen to the blind-eyed
old bastard, would you?
79
00:08:49,603 --> 00:08:52,388
He give me strict orders not to let Willie
hang up no more drinks, no matter what...
80
00:08:52,923 --> 00:08:53,884
What's that?
81
00:08:54,444 --> 00:08:55,533
I can't hear ya.
82
00:08:56,037 --> 00:08:57,079
You're a cockeyed liar.
83
00:08:57,620 --> 00:08:59,747
Never refused a drink to anyone
needed bad in my life.
84
00:09:00,988 --> 00:09:02,461
Told you to use
your judgment!
85
00:09:03,994 --> 00:09:06,164
You're too busy
thinkin' up ways to cheat me.
86
00:09:06,352 --> 00:09:08,642
Oh, sure boss, swell chance of foolin' you.
87
00:09:09,578 --> 00:09:11,578
No one never played
Harry Hope for a sucker.
88
00:09:12,555 --> 00:09:14,068
No one but everybody.
89
00:09:14,548 --> 00:09:16,968
The least you could do is keep things quiet.
90
00:09:17,276 --> 00:09:18,348
Give me a drink,
Rocky.
91
00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:19,258
Harry said
it was all right.
92
00:09:20,931 --> 00:09:22,976
God, I need a drink.
Then grab it, it's right under your nose.
93
00:09:24,396 --> 00:09:25,706
Thank you.
94
00:09:27,126 --> 00:09:28,274
When!
95
00:09:30,555 --> 00:09:31,771
I didn't say
"Take a bath!"
96
00:09:32,947 --> 00:09:33,923
Jees, look!
97
00:09:34,386 --> 00:09:35,747
He's killed
a half pint or more!
98
00:09:36,338 --> 00:09:38,125
Leave him be,
the poor devil.
99
00:09:39,451 --> 00:09:43,819
A half pint of that dynamite in one swig will
fix him for a while, if it doesn't kill him.
100
00:09:44,755 --> 00:09:46,659
All right by me,
it ain't my booze.
101
00:09:48,243 --> 00:09:49,546
Who-whose booze?
102
00:09:50,691 --> 00:09:52,067
Give me some!
103
00:09:53,059 --> 00:09:54,227
Where's Hickey?
104
00:09:55,146 --> 00:09:56,363
What time is it,
Rocky?
105
00:09:57,218 --> 00:09:58,051
Getting near time
to open up.
106
00:09:58,730 --> 00:10:00,294
Time you begun
to sweep up in the bar.
107
00:10:00,824 --> 00:10:01,923
Never mind the time.
108
00:10:02,482 --> 00:10:06,122
If Hickey ain't come,
it's time Joe went to sleep again.
109
00:10:09,012 --> 00:10:10,723
Hey...
110
00:10:11,530 --> 00:10:12,683
I got a idea!
111
00:10:13,186 --> 00:10:15,299
Say, Larry,
what about that young guy, Parritt?
112
00:10:15,955 --> 00:10:17,972
Come look you up last night
and rented a room.
113
00:10:19,266 --> 00:10:21,044
He's upstairs asleep.
114
00:10:22,434 --> 00:10:24,459
No hope there, Joe,
he's broke.
115
00:10:25,323 --> 00:10:26,755
Me and Rocky
know different.
116
00:10:27,225 --> 00:10:29,355
He had a roll when he
paid you his room rent.
117
00:10:30,011 --> 00:10:30,899
Didn't he, Rocky?
118
00:10:31,442 --> 00:10:33,091
Yeah, he flashed it like he forgot
and then tried to hide it quick.
119
00:10:33,618 --> 00:10:34,835
He did, did he?
Yeah.
120
00:10:35,346 --> 00:10:37,503
I figured he don't belong,
but he said he was a friend of yours.
121
00:10:38,074 --> 00:10:39,178
He's a liar!
122
00:10:40,802 --> 00:10:42,274
Ah, it's true, his...
123
00:10:43,349 --> 00:10:45,915
his mother and I were friends
a few years ago on the coast.
124
00:10:48,178 --> 00:10:51,674
Did you read in the papers about that bombing
on the coast where a few people were killed?
125
00:10:53,162 --> 00:10:56,162
Well, the one woman they pinched,
Rosa Parritt, is his mother.
126
00:10:57,515 --> 00:10:59,634
They'll be coming up for trial soon,
they haven't got a chance.
127
00:11:00,642 --> 00:11:02,124
She'll get life.
128
00:11:03,745 --> 00:11:07,482
I'm telling you all this so you'll know why,
if Don acts a bit queer and not jump on him.
129
00:11:08,162 --> 00:11:09,755
He's her only kid.
130
00:11:10,427 --> 00:11:11,818
Why ain't he out there
stickin' by her?
131
00:11:12,292 --> 00:11:13,645
Must be a good reason.
I get it.
132
00:11:14,705 --> 00:11:17,354
Then what kind of a sap is he
to hang on to his right name?
133
00:11:18,169 --> 00:11:19,323
I'm telling you,
I don't know.
134
00:11:19,969 --> 00:11:21,864
And I don't want to know!
135
00:11:22,241 --> 00:11:24,305
The hell with the Movement
and everybody connected with it.
136
00:11:31,011 --> 00:11:36,289
If there's one thing more than another
I can't stand it's the sucker game
137
00:11:36,953 --> 00:11:38,682
you and Hugo calls
"Movement."
138
00:11:39,650 --> 00:11:44,265
Reminds me of a damn full argument
me and Mose Porter had the other night.
139
00:11:45,009 --> 00:11:47,002
He's drunk and I'm drunker, and he says,
140
00:11:47,762 --> 00:11:50,202
"Socialists and anarchists,
we ought to shoot 'em dead."
141
00:11:50,811 --> 00:11:52,114
"Hold on, hold on."
142
00:11:52,777 --> 00:11:56,162
"You talk as if the socialists"
"and anarchists was the same thing."
143
00:11:57,369 --> 00:11:58,483
"Anarchist..."
144
00:11:59,129 --> 00:12:00,186
"never works."
145
00:12:00,842 --> 00:12:06,282
"He drinks, he never buys," and if you do
ever get a nickel, "he blows it on bombs,
146
00:12:06,761 --> 00:12:08,194
"but he wouldn't
give you nothin'.
147
00:12:08,729 --> 00:12:10,154
"So you can go ahead
and shoot him.
148
00:12:10,825 --> 00:12:12,266
"But, uh, socialists...
149
00:12:13,001 --> 00:12:14,657
"sometimes he gets a job.
150
00:12:15,785 --> 00:12:21,868
"If he gives 10 bucks, "he's bound by
his religion "to split it with ya 50-50.
151
00:12:22,225 --> 00:12:24,226
"So you don't shoot no socialist
"while I'm around.
152
00:12:25,673 --> 00:12:30,234
"Of course, if they broke,
then they're no-good, bastards, too."
153
00:12:33,809 --> 00:12:35,205
Be God, Joe!
154
00:12:36,370 --> 00:12:39,745
You've got all the beauty of human nature
and the practical wisdom of the world
155
00:12:40,297 --> 00:12:41,697
in that little parable.
156
00:12:42,457 --> 00:12:43,393
Sure.
157
00:12:43,881 --> 00:12:45,041
Larry ain't the only wise guy in this dump.
Eh, Joe?
158
00:12:45,241 --> 00:12:46,861
Here's your guy.
159
00:12:51,665 --> 00:12:53,106
Hello, Larry.
160
00:12:54,450 --> 00:12:55,594
Hello.
161
00:12:56,217 --> 00:12:58,203
What's up?
Thought you'd be asleep.
162
00:13:00,217 --> 00:13:03,226
I couldn't make it, I, uh,
thought I might see if you were around.
163
00:13:03,369 --> 00:13:04,743
Well...
164
00:13:04,886 --> 00:13:07,014
sit down
and join the bums then.
165
00:13:19,570 --> 00:13:22,012
The rules of the house are that
drinks may be served at all hours.
166
00:13:27,162 --> 00:13:29,020
Oh, I get you but, uh,
hell, I'm just about broke.
167
00:13:36,436 --> 00:13:38,164
Oh, I know,
you guys saw...
168
00:13:39,723 --> 00:13:40,828
You think I have a roll,
don't you?
169
00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:42,516
Well, I'll show you
you're wrong.
170
00:13:42,734 --> 00:13:44,002
You see?
They're all one's.
171
00:13:45,667 --> 00:13:47,164
See, I've got to live on this
'till I get a job.
172
00:13:52,057 --> 00:13:53,403
So you think I made
up a phony, don't you?
173
00:13:53,841 --> 00:13:55,053
Well, why the hell
would I do that?
174
00:13:57,090 --> 00:13:58,570
Where would I get
a roll anyway?
175
00:13:59,266 --> 00:14:00,826
You don't get rich doin'
what I've been doin', ask Larry.
176
00:14:01,755 --> 00:14:03,563
You're lucky in the Movement,
you get enough to eat.
177
00:14:04,667 --> 00:14:06,498
What's the song
and dance about?
178
00:14:06,945 --> 00:14:08,420
We ain't said nothin'.
179
00:14:09,834 --> 00:14:11,226
Oh... Oh, I was just tryin'
to put you right.
180
00:14:11,701 --> 00:14:12,824
Hey, I don't want you
to think I'm a tightwad.
181
00:14:13,055 --> 00:14:14,041
I'll buy you a drink
if you want one.
182
00:14:14,510 --> 00:14:15,246
"If?"
183
00:14:15,814 --> 00:14:18,134
Man, if I don't want a drink,
you call the morgue and you tell them.
184
00:14:18,766 --> 00:14:20,983
"Come take Joe's body away,
'cause he sure look dead."
185
00:14:21,470 --> 00:14:23,447
Now gimme the bottle, quick, Rocky,
before he changes his mind.
186
00:14:24,070 --> 00:14:25,665
I'll take a cigar
when I go in the bar.
187
00:14:28,134 --> 00:14:29,086
What are you havin'?
188
00:14:29,813 --> 00:14:30,734
Oh, nothin',
I'm on the wagon.
189
00:14:31,190 --> 00:14:32,454
What's the damage?
190
00:14:33,046 --> 00:14:33,983
15 cents.
191
00:14:34,918 --> 00:14:36,590
That must be some booze.
192
00:14:37,086 --> 00:14:40,470
It's cyanide cut with carbolic acid,
to give it a mellow flavor.
193
00:14:41,935 --> 00:14:43,126
Here's luck.
194
00:14:53,321 --> 00:14:57,446
I guess I'll get back in the bar and catch
a couple of winks before opening up time.
195
00:15:01,958 --> 00:15:03,438
One-drink guy.
196
00:15:05,302 --> 00:15:09,256
No hope till Harry's birthday party,
unless Hickey shows up.
197
00:15:11,127 --> 00:15:15,342
If Hickey do come later, you wake me up
if you have to bat me with a chair.
198
00:15:24,894 --> 00:15:25,975
Who's Hickey?
199
00:15:26,503 --> 00:15:27,710
A hardware drummer.
200
00:15:28,998 --> 00:15:30,966
He's an old friend of Harry Hope's
and all the gang.
201
00:15:32,085 --> 00:15:33,512
He's a grand guy.
202
00:15:34,838 --> 00:15:39,494
Comes here twice a year regularly on a
periodical drunk, and blows in all his dough.
203
00:15:42,063 --> 00:15:44,134
He doesn't run into anyone
he knows in his business here.
204
00:15:44,695 --> 00:15:45,854
Oh, yes, that's what
I want, too, Larry.
205
00:15:46,463 --> 00:15:48,926
But like I told you last night,
I gotta stay undercover.
206
00:15:50,886 --> 00:15:53,326
You did a lot of hinting,
but you didn't tell me anything.
207
00:15:58,496 --> 00:16:01,581
Oh, now you're thinking,
"This guy has a hell of a nerve.
208
00:16:01,781 --> 00:16:03,003
I haven't seen him
since he was a kid."
209
00:16:03,909 --> 00:16:05,241
Well, I've never
forgotten you, Larry.
210
00:16:08,685 --> 00:16:10,802
You're the one friend of mother's
who ever paid any attention to me.
211
00:16:11,518 --> 00:16:13,974
I remember you used to ask me questions,
you took what I said seriously?
212
00:16:16,221 --> 00:16:18,143
I guess I got the feeling
in the years you lived with us,
213
00:16:18,845 --> 00:16:20,181
you'd sort-of, you know,
taken the place of my old man.
214
00:16:20,381 --> 00:16:22,291
I don't suppose you remember it.
Ah, I remember it very well.
215
00:16:24,491 --> 00:16:26,843
You were a lonely,
serious little shaver then.
216
00:16:30,219 --> 00:16:32,099
Why didn't they pick you up
when they got your mother and the rest?
217
00:16:32,690 --> 00:16:34,116
Oh, I wasn't around.
218
00:16:34,787 --> 00:16:36,402
And, as soon as I heard the news,
I went under cover.
219
00:16:38,539 --> 00:16:40,724
You've noticed my glad rags here,
well, I will stake to them as a disguise,
220
00:16:41,458 --> 00:16:44,842
and then I, you know, hung around gambling
joints and pool halls, and hooker shops.
221
00:16:45,346 --> 00:16:46,523
Places where they wouldn't
look for a Wobblie.
222
00:16:47,397 --> 00:16:48,546
By pretending I was a...
223
00:16:49,218 --> 00:16:50,819
a sport.
224
00:16:51,530 --> 00:16:52,730
Anyway, they picked up
everybody who was,
225
00:16:53,354 --> 00:16:54,954
you know, really important, so I guess they
didn't think about me till afterwards.
226
00:16:56,666 --> 00:16:58,578
Like you say,
the cops got them.
227
00:16:59,979 --> 00:17:02,373
The Burns dicks
knew every move before hand.
228
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:07,330
Somebody in the movement must have sold out
and tipped them off.
229
00:17:09,363 --> 00:17:12,170
Yeah, it hasn't come out who it was yet,
it may never come out.
230
00:17:13,602 --> 00:17:16,714
I guess who it was must've made a bargain
with the Burns men to keep him out of it.
231
00:17:17,634 --> 00:17:18,658
Be God...
232
00:17:19,282 --> 00:17:21,083
I hate to believe
it'd be any of that crowd.
233
00:17:22,527 --> 00:17:23,995
All I know,
they were damned fools!
234
00:17:24,626 --> 00:17:26,379
As stupidly greedy for power
as any capitalist they attacked,
235
00:17:26,930 --> 00:17:29,296
but I'd have sworn there wasn't
a yellow stool pigeon among 'em.
236
00:17:30,514 --> 00:17:31,786
Yeah, they'd sworn
that, too, Larry.
237
00:17:33,290 --> 00:17:35,818
I hope his soul rots in hell, whoever it is.
238
00:17:36,921 --> 00:17:38,139
Yes, so do I.
239
00:17:44,182 --> 00:17:45,894
Well, then what made you leave the Movement, Larry?
Was it on mother's account?
240
00:17:47,481 --> 00:17:49,671
You asked me
why I quit the Movement.
241
00:17:50,751 --> 00:17:52,351
I had a lot of good reasons.
242
00:17:52,992 --> 00:17:55,776
One was myself, another was my comrades.
243
00:17:57,663 --> 00:18:00,999
And the last was that breed of swine
called "men in general."
244
00:18:02,655 --> 00:18:04,088
As for myself...
245
00:18:04,952 --> 00:18:07,787
I'd become convinced
after 30 years of devotion to the cause
246
00:18:08,074 --> 00:18:09,488
that I wasn't made for it.
247
00:18:11,046 --> 00:18:13,538
I was born condemned
to see both sides of a question.
248
00:18:14,966 --> 00:18:16,200
And when
you're damned that way...
249
00:18:18,023 --> 00:18:23,176
the questions multiply until the end,
they're all questions and no answers.
250
00:18:24,975 --> 00:18:28,775
As history proves, to be a worldly success
at anything especially revolution,
251
00:18:30,191 --> 00:18:33,320
you've got to wear blinders like a horse
and only see what's straight ahead of you.
252
00:18:35,783 --> 00:18:38,015
As for my comrades in the great cause,
253
00:18:40,383 --> 00:18:43,992
I've thought about them as Horace Walpole did
about England when he said he could love it,
254
00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:46,978
if it wasn't for
the people in it.
255
00:18:48,222 --> 00:18:49,624
Well, that's why
I quit the cause.
256
00:18:50,350 --> 00:18:51,607
You see, it had nothing
to do with your mother.
257
00:18:52,303 --> 00:18:53,815
Well, but I bet mother always thought
it was on her account.
258
00:18:54,663 --> 00:18:56,175
I mean, you know her, Larry,
to hear her go on sometimes
259
00:18:56,759 --> 00:18:57,648
you'd think
she was the Movement.
260
00:18:58,175 --> 00:18:59,535
That's a hell of a thing to say
after what happened to her.
261
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,192
Oh, no,
it wasn't sneering.
262
00:19:01,816 --> 00:19:03,527
I said the same thing to her lots of times,
you know, to kid her.
263
00:19:06,727 --> 00:19:10,946
I know I shouldn't now, but I keep forgetting
she's jail, she...
264
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,998
seemed so real to me,
she's always been so free.
265
00:19:17,285 --> 00:19:19,029
I don't want to even
wanna think about it.
266
00:19:22,462 --> 00:19:24,030
So what have you been doing
all these years since you le...
267
00:19:25,133 --> 00:19:26,815
ah, you know,
left the coast, Larry?
268
00:19:27,917 --> 00:19:30,878
I've been a philosophical drunken bum,
and proud of it.
269
00:19:32,901 --> 00:19:36,972
I hope you've deduced why I answer a lot of
impertinent questions from a total stranger.
270
00:19:38,086 --> 00:19:39,614
For that's all you are to me.
271
00:19:40,830 --> 00:19:42,454
I have a hunch you came
to get something from me.
272
00:19:43,206 --> 00:19:45,558
Well, I have no answers, no,
not even for myself.
273
00:19:46,781 --> 00:19:50,375
Unless you can call what Heine wrote
in his poem to Morphine an answer.
274
00:19:51,741 --> 00:19:53,958
"Lo, sleep is good, "better is death.
275
00:19:55,670 --> 00:19:58,318
"In sooth, the best of all,
were never to be born."
276
00:20:01,773 --> 00:20:03,230
That's a hell of an answer.
277
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,860
"The days grow hot,
O Babylon!
278
00:20:13,273 --> 00:20:16,305
"It's cool beneath thy willow trees!"
279
00:20:18,026 --> 00:20:19,820
Goddamned stool pigeon!
280
00:20:20,448 --> 00:20:21,808
What,
what do you mean?
281
00:20:22,692 --> 00:20:23,626
You can't call me that!
282
00:20:25,174 --> 00:20:26,786
Hello, little Don!
283
00:20:28,084 --> 00:20:29,952
I didn't recognize you!
284
00:20:30,690 --> 00:20:32,637
You've grown, big boy!
285
00:20:33,461 --> 00:20:35,144
How's your mother?
286
00:20:35,583 --> 00:20:36,719
Don't be a fool!
287
00:20:37,148 --> 00:20:38,150
Loan me a dollar.
288
00:20:38,708 --> 00:20:39,860
Buy me a drink!
289
00:20:40,346 --> 00:20:41,610
Sure, I'll buy you
a drink, Hugo.
290
00:20:42,255 --> 00:20:43,845
I'm sorry, got, uh, I got sore at you there.
291
00:20:44,812 --> 00:20:48,141
I ought to remember that when you're sauced,
you call everyone "stool pigeon," ah?
292
00:20:50,050 --> 00:20:51,787
It's just no damn joke
right at this time.
293
00:20:57,081 --> 00:20:58,693
Oh, gee,
he passed out again.
294
00:21:10,795 --> 00:21:12,256
What are you giving me
the hard look for, Larry?
295
00:21:15,910 --> 00:21:17,324
You thought
I was gonna to hit him?
296
00:21:19,822 --> 00:21:20,576
What do you think I am?
297
00:21:21,255 --> 00:21:24,515
I always stood up for him when everybody in the Movement
panned him for an old drunken has-been!
298
00:21:26,715 --> 00:21:28,719
He had the guts to serve
10 years in the can in his own country,
299
00:21:28,876 --> 00:21:30,047
got his eyes ruined
in solitary.
300
00:21:30,846 --> 00:21:32,031
I'd like to see
some of 'em here stick that.
301
00:21:32,638 --> 00:21:33,846
Well, they're gonna
get their chance now tha...
302
00:21:40,770 --> 00:21:42,062
Hey, Larry, tell me
more about this dump.
303
00:21:42,685 --> 00:21:43,975
Who are all these, uh,
these tanks in here?
304
00:21:44,621 --> 00:21:46,204
Who's that guy over there
trying to catch pneumonia?
305
00:21:50,457 --> 00:21:55,037
That's Captain Lewis, one time hero
in The British Army.
306
00:21:56,267 --> 00:21:59,214
He strips to display that scar,
which he got from a native spear,
307
00:22:00,290 --> 00:22:01,999
whenever he's
completely plastered.
308
00:22:03,684 --> 00:22:08,975
The bewhiskered bloke next to him is General
Wetjoen, who led a commando in the war.
309
00:22:11,575 --> 00:22:14,371
They met up when they worked in The Boer
War Spectacle in the St. Louis Fair,
310
00:22:15,714 --> 00:22:17,457
and they've been
bosom friends ever since.
311
00:22:19,657 --> 00:22:23,598
They dream away the hours and happy dispute
over the brave days in South Africa,
312
00:22:25,474 --> 00:22:27,455
when they were trying
to murder each other.
313
00:22:29,717 --> 00:22:31,071
He was in it, too.
314
00:22:32,002 --> 00:22:33,550
Correspondent for some
English paper.
315
00:22:34,158 --> 00:22:35,851
His nickname here
is Jimmy Tomorrow.
316
00:22:37,569 --> 00:22:38,750
But what do they do
for a living?
317
00:22:39,334 --> 00:22:40,939
As little as possible.
318
00:22:41,627 --> 00:22:44,192
Once in a while one of them makes
a successful touch somewhere,
319
00:22:45,286 --> 00:22:48,211
and some of them get a few dollars a month
from connections at home,
320
00:22:49,085 --> 00:22:51,498
who pay it on the condition
that they never come back.
321
00:22:52,901 --> 00:22:56,855
The rest live on free lunch
and their old friend Harry Hope,
322
00:22:57,362 --> 00:23:00,174
who doesn't give a damn what a man does
or doesn't do, as long as he likes 'em.
323
00:23:02,609 --> 00:23:03,954
That must be a tough life.
324
00:23:04,992 --> 00:23:06,307
Don't waste your pity.
325
00:23:06,911 --> 00:23:10,211
They manage to stay drunk and keep their pipe
dreams, and that's all they ask out of life.
326
00:23:11,371 --> 00:23:14,657
It isn't often that men attain
the true goal of their heart's desire.
327
00:23:18,181 --> 00:23:20,009
And that applies
to Harry himself.
328
00:23:20,642 --> 00:23:23,515
He's so satisfied with life
that he hasn't set foot out of this place
329
00:23:24,059 --> 00:23:25,793
since his wife died
20 years ago.
330
00:23:26,962 --> 00:23:29,293
He has no need
of the outside world.
331
00:23:31,261 --> 00:23:34,289
Place does a fine trade from the market
across the street and the dock workers.
332
00:23:35,062 --> 00:23:37,490
So in spite of Harry's thirst
and his generous heart, he comes out even.
333
00:23:39,070 --> 00:23:42,274
He never worries about hard times,
as long as there's friends from the old days
334
00:23:42,847 --> 00:23:45,844
when he was a jitney Tammany politician
and the friendly brewery that tied him over.
335
00:23:48,159 --> 00:23:50,036
Pat McGloin, his pal
sitting beside him,
336
00:23:50,612 --> 00:23:52,888
was a police lieutenant in the lush
times of graft, when everything went,
337
00:23:54,082 --> 00:23:55,400
but he got too greedy.
338
00:23:56,083 --> 00:23:59,346
And when the usual reform investigation
came along, he was caught red handed
339
00:24:00,034 --> 00:24:01,532
and thrown off the force.
340
00:24:02,207 --> 00:24:05,883
Joe there ran a colored gambling house, and,
was a hell of a sport.
341
00:24:08,006 --> 00:24:10,331
Well, that completes
our family circle of inmates,
342
00:24:11,458 --> 00:24:13,209
except for the two barkeeps
and their girls,
343
00:24:13,774 --> 00:24:15,137
three ladies of the pavement
that room on the third floor.
344
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:17,898
I never wanna see
a whore again.
345
00:24:20,781 --> 00:24:22,321
I mean, they always
get you in dutch.
346
00:24:23,252 --> 00:24:24,598
Why omit me from your.
347
00:24:25,271 --> 00:24:26,987
"Who's Who
in Dipsomania," Larry?
348
00:24:27,692 --> 00:24:29,284
It's an unpardonable
slight...
349
00:24:29,956 --> 00:24:31,406
that's generous, stranger.
350
00:24:31,991 --> 00:24:33,389
I trust you're generous.
351
00:24:33,879 --> 00:24:37,132
I was born in the purple, the son... hmm,
352
00:24:38,042 --> 00:24:40,514
but unfortunately not the heir
of the late world-famous.
353
00:24:41,136 --> 00:24:43,608
Bill Oban, king of the bucket shops.
354
00:24:45,291 --> 00:24:47,492
A revolution deposed him,
he was sent into exile.
355
00:24:48,678 --> 00:24:53,847
The fact, not to mince matters, they locked
him in the can and threw away the key.
356
00:24:56,169 --> 00:25:00,462
Alas, his was an adventurous spirit
that pined in confinement...
357
00:25:01,838 --> 00:25:03,248
and so he died!
358
00:25:05,271 --> 00:25:06,770
That's tough luck.
359
00:25:10,623 --> 00:25:12,366
Even in Harvard
I discovered my father was...
360
00:25:13,369 --> 00:25:15,064
well known
by reputation.
361
00:25:15,098 --> 00:25:18,673
Although that was sometime before
the district attorney gave him
362
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,548
so much
unwelcomed publicity.
363
00:25:21,215 --> 00:25:22,752
Even as a freshman,
I was notorious.
364
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,561
I was accepted socially,
with all the warm cordiality that, uh,
365
00:25:28,295 --> 00:25:31,320
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,
who could've shown a drunken Negress
366
00:25:31,877 --> 00:25:34,320
dancing the can can at high noon
on Brattle Street.
367
00:25:38,032 --> 00:25:39,530
Harvard was my father's idea.
368
00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:45,262
But I did make myself
a brilliant student!
369
00:25:47,519 --> 00:25:49,601
A dirty trick
on my classmates...
370
00:25:50,718 --> 00:25:53,141
inspired by revenge,
I fear.
371
00:25:54,062 --> 00:25:56,325
And I, I, I was a brilliant student
in Law School, too!
372
00:25:57,854 --> 00:26:01,690
And my father wanted a lawyer in the family.
373
00:26:02,428 --> 00:26:05,190
Oh, a thorough knowledge of the law
close at hand in the house,
374
00:26:06,197 --> 00:26:08,049
to help him find
fresh ways to evade it.
375
00:26:12,311 --> 00:26:15,323
But I discovered a loophole in whiskey.
376
00:26:16,143 --> 00:26:18,696
And so, escaped his jurisdiction.
377
00:26:19,447 --> 00:26:23,264
Speaking of whiskey, sir, reminds me,
and I hope reminds you,
378
00:26:24,989 --> 00:26:29,899
that when greeting a prince, the customary
salutation is "What'll you have?"
379
00:26:30,104 --> 00:26:31,334
Nix!
All you guys think
I'm made of dough!
380
00:26:33,177 --> 00:26:34,232
Broke?
381
00:26:34,913 --> 00:26:36,959
You haven't the thirsty look
of the impecunious.
382
00:26:37,544 --> 00:26:41,218
I'd judge you to be a plutocrat,
your pocket's stuffed with ill-gotten gains.
383
00:26:41,761 --> 00:26:43,163
Two or three dollars
at least.
384
00:26:43,665 --> 00:26:45,019
Don't think we question
how you got it.
385
00:26:45,723 --> 00:26:47,275
What do you mean
"How I got it"?
386
00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:51,556
That's a laugh,
isn't it, Larry?
387
00:26:52,055 --> 00:26:53,531
Him thinking me
a plutocrat?
388
00:26:54,718 --> 00:26:56,561
When I've been in
the Movement all my life?
389
00:26:57,719 --> 00:26:59,031
Ah, one of those,
eh?
390
00:26:59,713 --> 00:27:01,600
Why don't you go away
and blow yourself up?
391
00:27:01,634 --> 00:27:02,333
That's a good lad.
Hugo...
392
00:27:05,874 --> 00:27:08,585
Hugo is the only licensed preacher
of that gospel here.
393
00:27:09,738 --> 00:27:11,363
Oh, dangerous
terrorist Hugo!
394
00:27:11,970 --> 00:27:14,418
He'd as soon blow the collar off a
schooner of beer as look at you.
395
00:27:17,298 --> 00:27:21,194
Let us ignore this useless youth, Larry,
And let us join in prayer
396
00:27:22,514 --> 00:27:24,866
that Hickey, the great salesman,
will soon arrive bringing
397
00:27:25,978 --> 00:27:28,182
the blessed bourgeoisie
long green.
398
00:27:29,137 --> 00:27:32,659
Would that Hickey or Death would come, uh?
399
00:27:34,951 --> 00:27:37,757
Meanwhile, I will sing a song.
400
00:27:39,118 --> 00:27:40,988
A beautiful old
New England folk ballad,
401
00:27:41,943 --> 00:27:44,671
which I'd picked at Harvard
amid de debris of education.
402
00:27:47,539 --> 00:27:52,350
* Oh * Jack oh Jack was a sailor lad *
* And he went to a tavern for gin *
403
00:27:53,136 --> 00:28:00,204
* And he rapped and he rapped with a * * But
* Never a soul seemed in *
404
00:28:01,543 --> 00:28:04,790
The origin of this beautiful ditty
is veiled in mystery, Larry.
405
00:28:05,349 --> 00:28:10,667
There was a legend bruited about in Cambridge
lavatories that Waldo Emerson composed it
406
00:28:11,739 --> 00:28:14,839
during his uninformative period as a minister
while he was trying to write a sermon.
407
00:28:15,557 --> 00:28:18,545
But my own view
is that it goes back much further,
408
00:28:19,510 --> 00:28:22,898
and Jonathan Edwards is the author
of both words and the music.
409
00:28:25,104 --> 00:28:29,807
* Oh he rapped and rapped * * And he tapped
and tapped * * Enough to wake the dead
410
00:28:30,660 --> 00:28:37,491
* 'Till he heard a damsel * * On a
window * Right over his head * Rocky!
411
00:28:38,201 --> 00:28:41,158
Bejees,
can't you keep that crazy bastard quiet?
412
00:28:41,895 --> 00:28:44,778
And now the influence of a good woman
enters our mariner's lifeline.
413
00:28:45,871 --> 00:28:48,562
Well, perhaps "good" isn't the word,
but very, very kind.
414
00:28:50,169 --> 00:28:56,101
* "Oh * Come up" she cried "my sailor lad" *
* And you and I'll agree *
415
00:28:57,041 --> 00:29:04,669
* And I'll show you the prettiest * * That
ever you ever did see * You see, Larry?
416
00:29:05,770 --> 00:29:09,948
The lewd puritan touch, obviously,
and it grows more marked as we go on.
417
00:29:12,535 --> 00:29:19,221
* Oh, he puts his arms * Around her waist *
And gazed in her bright * blue eyes * Piano?
418
00:29:20,053 --> 00:29:22,228
What do you think
this dump is, a dump?
419
00:29:22,813 --> 00:29:24,627
Give him a bum's
rush upstairs.
Lock him in his room.
420
00:29:25,734 --> 00:29:26,413
Come on.
421
00:29:26,972 --> 00:29:29,688
No, please, Rocky, I'll go crazy
up in that room alone! It's haunted!
422
00:29:30,604 --> 00:29:32,701
Please, Larry, please!
Let me stay here, I'll be quiet!
423
00:29:34,780 --> 00:29:35,232
What the hell you
doin' to him, Rocky?
424
00:29:35,785 --> 00:29:36,951
Leave him alone...
425
00:29:37,669 --> 00:29:39,135
as long as he's quiet.
426
00:29:39,793 --> 00:29:42,041
Thanks, Harry, you're a good scout.
427
00:29:48,039 --> 00:29:49,543
Yeah, can't trust nobody.
428
00:29:50,627 --> 00:29:53,867
Leave it to that Dago to keep order
and it's like bedlam in a cathouse!
429
00:29:54,986 --> 00:29:56,550
Singin' and everything.
430
00:29:58,866 --> 00:30:01,958
And you, a big barfly,
you're a hell of a help to me.
431
00:30:03,164 --> 00:30:06,221
There ain't gonna be no more drinks
on the house 'till hell freezes over.
432
00:30:14,708 --> 00:30:15,756
Good God.
433
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,376
Have I been drinking at the same table
with a bloody Kaffir?
434
00:30:21,186 --> 00:30:23,430
Hello, captain, you comin' up for air?
435
00:30:27,851 --> 00:30:30,176
A "Kaffir," who's he?
436
00:30:31,652 --> 00:30:33,520
"Kaffir,"
that's a nigger, Joe.
437
00:30:35,208 --> 00:30:38,941
That's joke on him, Joe, he don't know you.
438
00:30:39,669 --> 00:30:42,130
He's still blind drunk.
439
00:30:43,926 --> 00:30:47,877
A great mistake,
I missed him at The Battle of Modder River.
440
00:30:49,076 --> 00:30:57,072
With mine rifle I shoot damn fool Limey
officers by the dozen, but him I miss.
441
00:30:58,989 --> 00:31:01,153
Hey, wake up,
Cecil, you bloody fool.
442
00:31:02,041 --> 00:31:03,676
Don't you know
your old friend Joe?
443
00:31:04,424 --> 00:31:05,812
He's white, Joe is!
444
00:31:14,389 --> 00:31:16,763
Oh, profound apologies, Joseph, old chum.
445
00:31:17,755 --> 00:31:20,111
Eyesight's a trifle
blurry, I'm afraid.
446
00:31:21,009 --> 00:31:22,809
Whitest colored man
I ever knew.
447
00:31:23,484 --> 00:31:25,277
Proud to call you
my friend.
448
00:31:26,043 --> 00:31:27,652
Oh, I know
it's mistake, captain.
449
00:31:28,103 --> 00:31:30,031
You here is a regular,
even if you is a Limey.
450
00:31:38,259 --> 00:31:40,641
But I don't stand for "nigger"
from nobody.
451
00:31:41,850 --> 00:31:44,888
In the old days, somebody calls me a "nigger"
he ends up in the hospital.
452
00:31:47,917 --> 00:31:51,738
Me, in old days in Transvaal, I was so tough!
453
00:31:52,990 --> 00:31:54,503
And strong!
454
00:31:55,127 --> 00:32:01,862
I, I grab axle of ox wagon, with full load,
and lift like feather.
455
00:32:02,689 --> 00:32:07,290
As for you, my balmy Boer that
walks like a man, I say it again,
456
00:32:08,310 --> 00:32:12,319
It was a grave error in our foreign policy
ever to set you free.
457
00:32:13,163 --> 00:32:14,581
Well, now,
Cecil, Piet!
458
00:32:15,883 --> 00:32:16,897
We must forget
the war.
459
00:32:17,733 --> 00:32:21,861
Boer and Britain, each fought fairly
and played the game until the better man won,
460
00:32:23,222 --> 00:32:24,998
and then we shook hands.
461
00:32:25,869 --> 00:32:32,711
We are all brothers within The Empire, united
beneath the flag on which the sun never sets.
462
00:32:34,850 --> 00:32:45,221
* Ship me somewhere * East of Suez *
Where the best * Is like the worst *
463
00:32:46,646 --> 00:32:56,311
* Where there ain't * No Ten Commandments
* And a man can raise * A thirst
464
00:32:58,009 --> 00:33:06,819
* On the road * To Mandalay *
Where the flyin' fishes * Play
465
00:33:08,666 --> 00:33:12,501
* And the dawn * Comes up like thunder *
466
00:33:16,514 --> 00:33:19,602
* Outer China * 'Crost the Bay *
467
00:33:22,326 --> 00:33:23,759
Well thanks, Harry,
old chum.
468
00:33:23,891 --> 00:33:26,657
I will have a drink, now you mention it,
seeing it's so near your birthday.
469
00:33:27,580 --> 00:33:29,176
I sorry,
can't hear you.
470
00:33:30,409 --> 00:33:32,398
No, I was afraid
you wouldn't.
471
00:33:33,349 --> 00:33:34,847
I don't have
to hear you, bejees.
472
00:33:35,536 --> 00:33:37,362
Booze is the only thing
you ever talk about.
473
00:33:37,458 --> 00:33:38,453
True, true.
474
00:33:38,994 --> 00:33:42,135
Yet there was a time when my conversation
was more comprehensive.
475
00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:44,270
You can't joke with me.
476
00:33:45,796 --> 00:33:47,577
How much room rent do you owe me?
Tell me that!
477
00:33:48,088 --> 00:33:49,273
I'm sorry.
478
00:33:50,342 --> 00:33:54,335
Adding always baffled me,
subtraction's my forte.
479
00:33:56,831 --> 00:33:58,462
Oh, think
you're funny.
480
00:33:59,278 --> 00:34:02,207
Captain, bejees, showin' off your wounds.
481
00:34:03,206 --> 00:34:05,074
Put on your clothes,
for Chrissake!
482
00:34:05,326 --> 00:34:06,574
This ain't
no Turkish bath!
483
00:34:07,718 --> 00:34:09,510
Lousy Limey army.
484
00:34:10,174 --> 00:34:12,727
Took 'em years
to lick a gang of Dutch hayseeds.
485
00:34:13,419 --> 00:34:15,439
That's right, Harry,
give him hell!
486
00:34:16,246 --> 00:34:21,176
I give you my word of honor, as an officer
and a gentleman, you shall be paid tomorrow.
487
00:34:22,096 --> 00:34:25,626
We swear it, Harry, tomorrow without fail!
488
00:34:26,606 --> 00:34:28,366
There you are,
Harry.
489
00:34:29,011 --> 00:34:30,263
Sure,
what could be fairer?
490
00:34:30,789 --> 00:34:32,263
A promise is a promise,
as I've often discovered.
491
00:34:33,005 --> 00:34:34,430
Naming you, too...
492
00:34:35,574 --> 00:34:37,374
old grafting flatfoot.
493
00:34:38,078 --> 00:34:39,823
Fine company for me,
bejees!
494
00:34:41,006 --> 00:34:44,918
Been livin' in my flat since Christ knows
when, and you ain't even got the decency
495
00:34:45,459 --> 00:34:46,966
to get me upstairs,
where I got a good bed!
496
00:34:47,726 --> 00:34:52,400
Kept me down here waitin' for Hickey to show
up, hopin' I'd blow you to more drinks!
497
00:34:53,126 --> 00:34:54,617
I did my damnedest
to get you up.
498
00:34:55,310 --> 00:34:58,167
But you said you couldn't bear the flat
because it was one of those nights
499
00:34:58,703 --> 00:35:01,191
when memory brought
poor old Bessie back to you.
500
00:35:01,943 --> 00:35:03,310
Ah, yes...
501
00:35:03,909 --> 00:35:05,401
I remember now.
502
00:35:06,401 --> 00:35:09,389
I could almost see her in every room
just as she used to be...
503
00:35:11,048 --> 00:35:12,842
and it's 20 years
since I...
504
00:35:14,062 --> 00:35:16,038
Isn't a pipe dream
of yesterday a touching thing?
505
00:35:16,258 --> 00:35:19,713
By all accounts, 20 years...
Bessie nagged the hell out of him.
506
00:35:19,776 --> 00:35:22,311
And I've never set foot out of this house
since the day I buried her.
507
00:35:23,196 --> 00:35:25,176
Once she's gone, I didn't
give a damn for anything.
508
00:35:26,651 --> 00:35:28,498
The boys was gonna
nominate me for Alderman.
509
00:35:29,785 --> 00:35:32,150
Mm, Bessie wanted it, and she was so proud.
510
00:35:33,332 --> 00:35:35,822
But when she was taken,
I told 'em, "No, boys, I can't do it.
511
00:35:36,454 --> 00:35:37,613
I'm through."
512
00:35:39,980 --> 00:35:43,320
I know, Lord,
why Bessie would appreciate my grief.
513
00:35:44,253 --> 00:35:46,798
She wouldn't want it to keep me
cooped up in here all my life.
514
00:35:47,607 --> 00:35:49,517
So I've made up my mind
to go out soon.
515
00:35:50,278 --> 00:35:52,878
Take a walk around the ward,
see all the friends I used to know.
516
00:35:53,540 --> 00:35:54,900
Get together with the boys.
517
00:35:56,770 --> 00:35:58,845
My birthday, tomorrow!
518
00:35:59,735 --> 00:36:01,280
That'd be the right time
to turn over a new leaf!
519
00:36:01,887 --> 00:36:03,515
60, that ain't too old.
520
00:36:04,365 --> 00:36:06,057
The prime of life, Harry.
521
00:36:08,934 --> 00:36:10,749
Time I took hold of myself.
522
00:36:11,713 --> 00:36:14,722
Tomorrow I must get my things
from the laundry.
523
00:36:15,834 --> 00:36:17,271
Clean collar and shirt.
524
00:36:18,034 --> 00:36:21,422
If I wash the ones I've got on anymore,
they'll fall apart.
525
00:36:22,894 --> 00:36:25,284
I must make
a good appearance.
526
00:36:26,472 --> 00:36:31,809
I've heard rumors management were at their
wits' end and would be only too willing
527
00:36:32,798 --> 00:36:34,555
to have me run the publicity department
for them again.
528
00:36:35,810 --> 00:36:39,104
All I have to do is get fixed up
with a decent front tomorrow,
529
00:36:40,063 --> 00:36:41,944
and it's as good as done.
530
00:36:42,776 --> 00:36:44,469
Poor Jimmy's off
on his pipe dream again.
531
00:36:47,885 --> 00:36:53,214
I'll make my stake and get my new gamblin'
house open before you boys leave.
532
00:36:55,126 --> 00:36:56,685
You gotta come
to the openin'.
533
00:36:57,466 --> 00:36:59,356
Bejees, Jimmy's started them off
smoking the same hop.
534
00:37:02,682 --> 00:37:03,822
This bughouse will drive me
stark, raving loony yet!
535
00:37:05,192 --> 00:37:06,562
What, what'd you say?
536
00:37:09,263 --> 00:37:10,897
Nothing, Harry.
537
00:37:11,658 --> 00:37:13,885
I had a crazy thought
in my head.
538
00:37:14,844 --> 00:37:17,855
Crazy is right, the old wise guy.
539
00:37:18,997 --> 00:37:20,389
Damned old fool Anarchist.
540
00:37:21,141 --> 00:37:22,340
I-Won't-Worker!
541
00:37:23,205 --> 00:37:26,756
You'll pay up tomorrow, or I'll,
I'll start a Harry Hope Revolution!
542
00:37:28,575 --> 00:37:32,291
I'll tie a dispossess bomb to your tails
that'll blow you out in the street!
543
00:37:33,726 --> 00:37:36,518
I'll, I'll make
your Movement move!
544
00:37:42,826 --> 00:37:44,352
Sure it's hot,
parching work
545
00:37:44,989 --> 00:37:47,164
sittin' here laughin' at your
jokes so early in the morning...
546
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,214
What the hell you thinks
happened to Hickey?
547
00:37:50,357 --> 00:37:52,666
I hope he turns up.
548
00:37:54,092 --> 00:37:56,961
You remember that gag he always pulls
about his wife and the iceman?
549
00:38:03,579 --> 00:38:04,985
Opening time, boss.
550
00:38:05,706 --> 00:38:07,100
Why don't you go
to bed, Boss?
551
00:38:07,693 --> 00:38:09,027
Hickey'd never turn up
this time of the mornin'.
552
00:38:09,650 --> 00:38:10,667
Someone's comin' now!
553
00:38:11,211 --> 00:38:13,360
Oh, that's only my two pigs,
it's about time they showed.
554
00:38:14,365 --> 00:38:15,858
You keep them
dumb broads quiet!
555
00:38:16,382 --> 00:38:17,653
I'm gonna catch
a couple more winks here,
556
00:38:18,277 --> 00:38:19,995
and I don't want no damn fool
laughin' and screechin'.
557
00:38:21,035 --> 00:38:21,985
Hey.
558
00:38:22,707 --> 00:38:25,529
Never thought I'd see the day
when Harry Hope's would have tarts living in.
559
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:28,145
What would Bessie
think, hmm?
560
00:38:29,301 --> 00:38:32,319
But he don't let 'em use
my rooms for business.
561
00:38:32,664 --> 00:38:36,321
Pay their rent, too,
which is more than I can say for...
562
00:38:38,972 --> 00:38:42,962
Bejees, Mac, I, I'll bet Bessie's doin'
somersaults in her grave!
563
00:38:46,512 --> 00:38:47,486
Hello.
564
00:38:50,339 --> 00:38:51,868
Jees, Pearl.
565
00:38:53,058 --> 00:38:56,178
This place is a morgue
with all these stiffs on deck.
566
00:38:58,261 --> 00:39:02,182
Hey, you Old Wise Guy, ain't you died yet?
567
00:39:03,570 --> 00:39:04,713
Not yet, Margie.
568
00:39:05,578 --> 00:39:07,608
But I'm waiting impatiently
for the end.
569
00:39:08,475 --> 00:39:09,269
Yeah.
570
00:39:10,629 --> 00:39:12,508
Hey, who's the new guy?
Friend of yours?
571
00:39:14,090 --> 00:39:15,250
Hey, kid!
572
00:39:16,113 --> 00:39:17,444
You wanna have
a good time, huh?
573
00:39:18,350 --> 00:39:19,602
Hey, hell with him!
574
00:39:20,184 --> 00:39:21,218
You dumb broads!
575
00:39:21,878 --> 00:39:23,094
Cut the loud talk!
576
00:39:23,547 --> 00:39:25,114
Sit down before
I knock you down!
577
00:39:26,083 --> 00:39:26,867
Ohh, you!
578
00:39:28,772 --> 00:39:30,057
What, what, what, what?
579
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,315
Well, how do you
tramps do?
580
00:39:37,254 --> 00:39:38,266
Ah, pretty good,
uh, Pearl?
581
00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:40,558
Sure, we nailed
a couple of all-night guys.
582
00:39:41,215 --> 00:39:42,784
On Sixth Avenue,
boobs from the sticks.
583
00:39:43,246 --> 00:39:44,808
Stinko,
the both of 'em!
584
00:39:45,557 --> 00:39:47,208
Jees, I never heard
such gabby guys!
585
00:39:49,045 --> 00:39:50,839
So... here we are.
586
00:39:51,817 --> 00:39:54,019
Yeah, I see you,
but I don't see no dough yet.
587
00:39:55,194 --> 00:39:56,912
Right on the job,
ain't he, Margie?
588
00:39:57,494 --> 00:39:59,043
Yeah, our little
business man, that's him.
589
00:39:59,787 --> 00:40:00,985
Come on, dig!
590
00:40:01,750 --> 00:40:03,024
What, you're scared
we're holdin' out on you?
591
00:40:05,068 --> 00:40:06,723
Way he grabs, you'd think
it was him done the work.
592
00:40:08,008 --> 00:40:09,199
Here you are,
grafter!
593
00:40:09,742 --> 00:40:11,065
I hope it chokes you!
594
00:40:11,547 --> 00:40:13,516
Hey, you dumb baby dolls
give me a pain.
595
00:40:14,018 --> 00:40:15,839
What would you do
with money if I wasn't around?
596
00:40:16,527 --> 00:40:18,442
Give it all to some pimp.
Jees, what's the difference?
597
00:40:18,644 --> 00:40:20,044
Oh, didn't mean that,
Rocky.
598
00:40:21,209 --> 00:40:22,420
A lot of difference,
get me?
599
00:40:25,069 --> 00:40:27,784
Hey, come on, Rocky!
Pearl was only kiddin'.
600
00:40:28,660 --> 00:40:30,874
We know you don't live off us,
you got a regular job.
601
00:40:31,587 --> 00:40:34,533
That's why we like you, you're a bartender.
602
00:40:35,452 --> 00:40:38,957
Sure, I'm a bartender,
and I treat you girls right, don't I?
603
00:40:39,569 --> 00:40:41,286
Yeah.
604
00:40:42,019 --> 00:40:44,209
Jees, I'm wise you hold out on me,
but I know it ain't much.
605
00:40:44,957 --> 00:40:46,565
So what the hell,
I let you get away with it.
606
00:40:49,651 --> 00:40:51,552
Hey, you know ought not
kid him about that stuff.
607
00:40:52,207 --> 00:40:53,649
Serves you right
if he beats you up.
608
00:40:54,168 --> 00:40:56,007
Jees, I'd bet he'd give you an
awful beatin' once he started.
609
00:40:56,541 --> 00:40:57,565
Ginnies got
awful tempers.
610
00:40:58,197 --> 00:41:00,525
Anyways, we wouldn't keep no pimp
like we were regular old whores.
611
00:41:01,065 --> 00:41:02,161
We ain't that bad.
612
00:41:02,752 --> 00:41:03,870
Oh, no, we're tarts,
but that's all.
613
00:41:07,436 --> 00:41:08,477
Hey, Rocky.
614
00:41:09,139 --> 00:41:10,477
Cora got back
around 3:00 o'clock.
615
00:41:11,258 --> 00:41:14,930
She woke up Chuck and dragged him outta
the hay to go to for a chop suey joint.
616
00:41:16,071 --> 00:41:17,685
Imagine him standin'
for that stuff!
617
00:41:18,307 --> 00:41:20,747
I bet they been sittin' around
kiddin' themselves
618
00:41:21,392 --> 00:41:24,547
with that old pipe dream about gettin'
married and settlin' down on a farm.
619
00:41:25,464 --> 00:41:28,280
Jees, when Chuck's on the wagon,
they never lay off that dope.
620
00:41:28,722 --> 00:41:30,019
Hello, bums!
621
00:41:32,275 --> 00:41:33,755
Jees...
622
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,801
the morgue
on a rainy Sunday night.
623
00:41:37,691 --> 00:41:39,564
Hello, Old Wise Guy,
ain't you croaked yet?
624
00:41:40,355 --> 00:41:41,498
Not yet, Cora.
625
00:41:42,466 --> 00:41:44,018
Damned tiring
this waiting for the end.
626
00:41:44,692 --> 00:41:45,754
Aw, go on,
you'll never die.
627
00:41:46,329 --> 00:41:48,014
You'll have to hire someone
to croak you with an axe.
628
00:41:48,593 --> 00:41:50,664
Hey, you dumb hooker, cut the loud talk.
629
00:41:52,300 --> 00:41:53,609
This ain't a cathouse.
630
00:41:56,098 --> 00:41:57,120
Hey, Cora,
how you doin'?
631
00:41:57,810 --> 00:41:59,209
Hey, Chuck,
what's happening?
632
00:42:03,688 --> 00:42:05,205
If I'd known this dump was a hooker hangout,
I'd never come in.
633
00:42:05,809 --> 00:42:07,918
You seem down
on the ladies.
634
00:42:08,137 --> 00:42:09,838
I hate every bitch
that ever lived.
635
00:42:10,897 --> 00:42:12,400
Me and this overgrown tramp's
been scrappin' about the farm.
636
00:42:13,150 --> 00:42:16,576
He says Jersey's the best place, and I said
Long Island on account it will be near Coney.
637
00:42:17,653 --> 00:42:19,985
And then I tells him, "How do I know
you're off of periodicals for life?"
638
00:42:20,647 --> 00:42:22,082
And I tells her
"I'm off the stuff for life."
639
00:42:22,778 --> 00:42:24,814
Then she beefs
we won't be married a month
640
00:42:25,063 --> 00:42:26,193
before I'll throw it
in her face she was a tart.
641
00:42:26,219 --> 00:42:29,010
"Jees, baby,"I tells her, "Why should I?
"What the hell you think I think I'm marryin', a virgin?
642
00:42:30,142 --> 00:42:31,113
Can you tie it?
643
00:42:31,672 --> 00:42:32,690
I'll buy a drink,
I'll do anything.
644
00:42:33,703 --> 00:42:35,043
No, this round's on me!
645
00:42:35,714 --> 00:42:36,743
I run into luck.
646
00:42:37,328 --> 00:42:38,625
That's why I dragged
Chuck outta bed to celebrate.
647
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:40,714
It was a sailor,
I rolled him.
648
00:42:41,703 --> 00:42:42,795
Listen,
it was a scream.
649
00:42:43,444 --> 00:42:45,673
My dogs was givin' out when I seen this guy
holdin' up a lamp post,
650
00:42:46,247 --> 00:42:47,703
so I hurry to get him
before a cop did.
651
00:42:48,281 --> 00:42:51,106
I says, "Hello, handsome,
wanna have a good time?"
652
00:42:52,597 --> 00:42:54,142
Jees, he was paralyzed!
653
00:42:54,939 --> 00:42:56,146
One of them polite jags.
654
00:42:57,429 --> 00:43:00,429
He tries to bow to me, imagine, and I had
to prop him up or he'd fell on his nose.
655
00:43:02,714 --> 00:43:05,797
"Quit ticklin' me," he says,
while I was friskin' him for his roll!
656
00:43:06,881 --> 00:43:08,384
I near died!
657
00:43:09,461 --> 00:43:11,862
Ain't Uncle Sam the sap
to trust guys like that with dough?
658
00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:14,354
Well, I picked 12 bucks
off of him.
659
00:43:15,364 --> 00:43:16,721
So come on, Rocky,
set 'em up.
660
00:43:18,207 --> 00:43:20,255
Oh, say, Chuck's kiddin'
about the iceman a minute ago
661
00:43:20,863 --> 00:43:22,135
reminds me,
where the hell's Hickey?
662
00:43:22,725 --> 00:43:23,957
That's what
we're all wonderin'.
663
00:43:24,638 --> 00:43:25,844
Well, he oughta be here!
664
00:43:26,325 --> 00:43:27,555
Me and Chuck seen him.
665
00:43:28,099 --> 00:43:29,758
You've seen Hickey?Yeah.
Hey, boss!
666
00:43:30,339 --> 00:43:31,170
Boss, boss,
come to.
667
00:43:31,668 --> 00:43:32,716
Cora's seen Hickey.
668
00:43:33,459 --> 00:43:34,503
Where'd you see him,
Cora?
669
00:43:35,129 --> 00:43:36,441
Right on the next corner,
he was standin' there.
670
00:43:37,198 --> 00:43:38,938
We said,
"Welcome to our city!
671
00:43:39,509 --> 00:43:42,009
"The gang's expectin' ya with their
tongues hangin' out a yard long."
672
00:43:42,697 --> 00:43:44,844
And I kidded him,
"How's the iceman, Hickey?
673
00:43:45,458 --> 00:43:46,812
How's he doin'
at your house?"
674
00:43:47,315 --> 00:43:48,451
And he laughs
and says, "Fine."
675
00:43:49,113 --> 00:43:52,053
And then he says,
"Tell the gang I'll be along in a minute.
676
00:43:52,643 --> 00:43:55,483
"I'm just finishin' figurin' out the best way
to save 'em and bring 'em peace."
677
00:43:57,552 --> 00:43:59,297
Bejees, he's thought up
a new gag!
678
00:44:00,921 --> 00:44:04,376
It's a wonder he didn't borrow a Salvation
Army uniform and show up in that!
679
00:44:05,613 --> 00:44:06,747
Go out and get him,
Rocky.
680
00:44:07,242 --> 00:44:08,764
Tell him we're waitin'
to be saved!
681
00:44:09,365 --> 00:44:11,106
Yeah, Harry, he was only kiddin'
but he was funny, too, somehow;
682
00:44:11,631 --> 00:44:13,074
he was different
or somethin'.
683
00:44:13,550 --> 00:44:15,319
Sure, he was sober, baby,
that's what made him different.
684
00:44:15,908 --> 00:44:17,132
Sure!
685
00:44:17,569 --> 00:44:18,605
Gee, ain't I dumb?
686
00:44:19,186 --> 00:44:20,619
Dumbest broad
I ever seen.
687
00:44:22,508 --> 00:44:23,239
Sober?
688
00:44:23,659 --> 00:44:24,495
That's funny.
689
00:44:25,205 --> 00:44:27,068
He's always lapped up
a good starter on his way here.
690
00:44:27,772 --> 00:44:29,148
Well, bejees,
he won't be sober long!
691
00:44:29,745 --> 00:44:32,128
He'll be good and ripe for my birthday party
tonight at 12:00.
692
00:44:33,150 --> 00:44:35,627
Listen, he's fixed
some new gag to pull on us.
693
00:44:36,356 --> 00:44:38,106
We'll pretend to
let him kid us, see?
694
00:44:38,974 --> 00:44:40,590
And we'll kid
the pants off him!
695
00:44:42,642 --> 00:44:44,535
Here's the old
son of a bitch!
696
00:44:46,438 --> 00:44:47,703
Hello, gang!
697
00:44:48,741 --> 00:44:53,130
* Oh dear old pals * We're jolly old pals
* In all kinds of weather *
698
00:44:53,786 --> 00:44:58,624
* We always stick together * Like we're
always game * Whenever the same soul
699
00:44:59,031 --> 00:45:06,338
* Give me for friendship * * My jolly
old pals * And another little drink
700
00:45:07,068 --> 00:45:09,910
* Won't do us any harm *
701
00:45:10,466 --> 00:45:12,709
Do your duty, Brother Rocky,
bring on the rat poison!
702
00:45:13,687 --> 00:45:14,755
How goes it,
Governor?
703
00:45:15,236 --> 00:45:17,421
Bejees, Hickey, you old bastard,
it's good to see you!
704
00:45:18,201 --> 00:45:19,154
Hello, Mac.
705
00:45:19,736 --> 00:45:20,872
Welcome, "boyo!"
706
00:45:21,389 --> 00:45:22,471
Willie!
707
00:45:23,136 --> 00:45:24,245
Hey, Hickey!
708
00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:26,370
How you've got...
Hello, Joe.
709
00:45:27,081 --> 00:45:28,066
All right, Hickey,
how you doin'?
710
00:45:28,929 --> 00:45:30,110
Hello, Hickey,
old timer.
Oh, Captain Lewis!
711
00:45:31,502 --> 00:45:32,315
General Wetjoen!
712
00:45:33,416 --> 00:45:34,686
I said!
713
00:45:35,730 --> 00:45:36,928
Hello, Hugo!
714
00:45:37,714 --> 00:45:38,646
How goes it?
715
00:45:39,149 --> 00:45:40,275
Wow, wow!
716
00:45:40,796 --> 00:45:41,796
Too much wine underneath
the willow trees, eh?
717
00:45:44,137 --> 00:45:45,433
Hello, Jimmy.
718
00:45:45,982 --> 00:45:47,518
It's grand to see ya.
How's the old scout?
719
00:45:48,021 --> 00:45:48,878
You look great.
720
00:45:49,485 --> 00:45:50,876
Sit down, Hickey,
sit down.
721
00:45:51,711 --> 00:45:53,337
Well, I, I...
Jimmy!
722
00:45:54,441 --> 00:45:57,373
Bejees, it seems natural
to see your ugly, grinning map.
723
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,445
This dumb broad was tryin' to tell us
you'd changed, but you ain't a damned bit!
724
00:46:01,959 --> 00:46:03,203
Tell us about yourself.
725
00:46:03,835 --> 00:46:05,131
Bejees, Hickey,
you look like a million dollars!
726
00:46:05,836 --> 00:46:08,371
Here's your key, Hickey,same old room.
Oh, thanks, Rocky.
727
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:10,871
I'll be goin' up in a little while
and grab a snooze.
728
00:46:11,844 --> 00:46:13,580
I haven't been able to sleep lately,
I'm tired as hell.
729
00:46:14,365 --> 00:46:15,941
A couple of hours
of good kip will fix me.
730
00:46:17,087 --> 00:46:19,036
First time I ever heard
you worry about sleep.
731
00:46:20,022 --> 00:46:21,570
Bejees, you never
would go to bed.
732
00:46:22,203 --> 00:46:24,137
Get a couple of slugs under your belt,
you'll forget sleeping.
733
00:46:24,731 --> 00:46:26,315
Here's mud in your eye,
Hickey.
734
00:46:27,191 --> 00:46:28,664
Drink hearty,
boys and girls.
735
00:46:33,116 --> 00:46:34,458
Bejees,
is that a new stunt?
736
00:46:35,290 --> 00:46:36,801
Drinking your chaser first?
737
00:46:38,163 --> 00:46:39,328
No, I forgot
to tell Rocky.
738
00:46:39,798 --> 00:46:42,025
You'll have to excuse me, boys and girls,
but I'm off the stuff, for keeps.
739
00:46:43,925 --> 00:46:45,639
What the hell?
740
00:46:46,253 --> 00:46:47,265
Sure, sure!
741
00:46:47,847 --> 00:46:49,485
Joined the Salvation Army,
ain't you?
742
00:46:49,954 --> 00:46:52,172
Been elected President
of the W.C.T.U.?
743
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:54,579
Take the bottle away
from him, Rocky.
744
00:46:55,058 --> 00:46:56,460
We don't want
to tempt him into sin.
745
00:46:57,088 --> 00:46:59,858
Eh, I know it's hard to believe, but, uh,
Cora was right, Harry, I have changed.
746
00:47:00,604 --> 00:47:02,974
I mean about the booze,
I don't need it anymore.
747
00:47:04,477 --> 00:47:06,708
Bejees, Cora says
you was comin' here to save us.
748
00:47:07,909 --> 00:47:09,773
Well, go on, get
this joke off your chest.
749
00:47:10,232 --> 00:47:11,306
Start the service!
750
00:47:11,869 --> 00:47:13,054
Sing a Goddamned hymn
if you like.
751
00:47:13,757 --> 00:47:14,810
We'll all join
in the chorus.
752
00:47:15,377 --> 00:47:16,911
"No drunkard can enter
this beautiful home."
753
00:47:17,316 --> 00:47:19,722
You don't think I'd come around here peddlin'
any brand of temperance bunk, do you?
754
00:47:20,648 --> 00:47:22,840
Just 'cause I quit the stuff
don't mean I'm going Prohibition.
755
00:47:23,413 --> 00:47:25,428
I'm not that ungrateful,
it's given me too many good times.
756
00:47:25,939 --> 00:47:28,829
So if anybody wants to get drunk,
if that's the only way they can be happy,
757
00:47:29,306 --> 00:47:31,112
and feel at peace with themselves,
why the hell shouldn't they?
758
00:47:31,751 --> 00:47:33,369
Hell, I know that game
from soup to nuts.
759
00:47:33,898 --> 00:47:35,015
I wrote the book.
760
00:47:35,494 --> 00:47:36,634
The only reason
I quit is...
761
00:47:37,196 --> 00:47:38,793
well, I finally had
the guts to face myself
762
00:47:39,355 --> 00:47:42,033
and throw overboard that damned lying
pipe dream that'd make me miserable,
763
00:47:43,613 --> 00:47:45,782
and do what I had to do
for the happiness of all concerned.
764
00:47:46,979 --> 00:47:51,185
Then all at once, I was at peace with myself
and I didn't need the booze anymore.
765
00:47:55,462 --> 00:47:56,346
Well, what the hell?
766
00:47:56,968 --> 00:47:58,087
Don't let me be
a wet blanket.
767
00:47:58,532 --> 00:47:59,595
Set 'em up again, Rocky.
768
00:48:00,152 --> 00:48:01,831
Here, keep the balls coming until last kill,
then I'll ask for more.
769
00:48:02,550 --> 00:48:04,841
Jees, a roll that'd choke
a hippopotamus.
770
00:48:05,475 --> 00:48:06,577
Fill up, you guys!
771
00:48:07,173 --> 00:48:08,313
That sounds more
like you, Hickey.
772
00:48:09,041 --> 00:48:10,438
All that water-wagon bull!
773
00:48:12,022 --> 00:48:13,635
Cut the act and have a drink,
for Chrissake.
774
00:48:14,161 --> 00:48:16,193
It's no act, Governor,
but that don't mean
775
00:48:16,636 --> 00:48:17,811
I'm a teetotal grouch
and can't be in the party.
776
00:48:18,345 --> 00:48:19,456
Why else do you think
I'm here except to have a party,
777
00:48:20,087 --> 00:48:21,415
like I've always done, and help
celebrate your birthday tonight?
778
00:48:22,495 --> 00:48:24,914
You've all been good pals to me,
best friends I've ever had.
779
00:48:26,267 --> 00:48:27,967
And I've been thinking about you
ever since I left the house,
780
00:48:28,661 --> 00:48:30,344
all the time I was
walking over here.
781
00:48:30,835 --> 00:48:31,776
"Walkin'?"
782
00:48:32,476 --> 00:48:33,620
Bejees, you mean
to say you walked?
783
00:48:34,219 --> 00:48:35,296
I sure as hell did.
784
00:48:35,783 --> 00:48:37,193
All the way from the wilds
of darkest Astoria.
785
00:48:38,229 --> 00:48:39,793
I seemed to get here
before I knew it.
786
00:48:41,266 --> 00:48:43,478
And that ought to encourage you, Governor,
show you a little walk around the ward
787
00:48:43,914 --> 00:48:45,498
is nothin'
to be so scared about.
788
00:48:46,516 --> 00:48:48,185
It was goin' on 12:00
when I went into the bedroom
789
00:48:48,737 --> 00:48:50,008
to tell Evelyn I was leaving,
six hours, say.
790
00:48:50,639 --> 00:48:52,801
No, less than that,
'cause I'd been standin' on the street corner
791
00:48:53,359 --> 00:48:55,570
some time before Chuck and Cora came along,
thinkin' about all of you.
792
00:48:56,856 --> 00:48:58,889
Of course, I was only kidding Cora
with that stuff about saving you.
793
00:49:00,556 --> 00:49:03,400
But no, I wasn't either,
but I didn't mean booze.
794
00:49:04,193 --> 00:49:05,908
I meant save you
from pipe dreams.
795
00:49:06,423 --> 00:49:08,659
Because I know now, from my experience,
that they're the things
796
00:49:09,238 --> 00:49:11,651
that can really poison and ruin a guy's life
and keep him from finding any peace.
797
00:49:13,005 --> 00:49:14,894
If you knew how free
and contented I feel now.
798
00:49:15,677 --> 00:49:18,996
Why, I'm like a new man,
and the cure for them is so damned simple
799
00:49:19,496 --> 00:49:21,122
once you got the nerve.
800
00:49:21,766 --> 00:49:24,182
Just stop lying to yourself and
kidding yourself about tomorrows.
801
00:49:26,879 --> 00:49:29,414
Hell, this begins to sound like a damned
sermon on the way to lead the good life!
802
00:49:30,150 --> 00:49:31,627
It's in my blood,
I guess.
803
00:49:32,244 --> 00:49:34,103
My old man used to whale salvation
into my heinie with a birch rod.
804
00:49:34,857 --> 00:49:36,540
He was a preacher in the sticks of Indiana,
like I've told you,
805
00:49:37,181 --> 00:49:38,734
got my knack of sales gab
from him, too.
806
00:49:39,376 --> 00:49:40,947
He was the boy that could sell
those Hoosier hayseeds
807
00:49:41,414 --> 00:49:42,672
building lots along
the Golden Street!
808
00:49:43,087 --> 00:49:44,471
Now don't look at me
like that, boys and girls.
809
00:49:44,894 --> 00:49:46,016
I'm not tryin' to sell
you a goldbrick.
810
00:49:46,742 --> 00:49:47,606
Nothin' up my sleeves,
honest.
811
00:49:47,672 --> 00:49:48,847
Let's take an example,
any one of you, eh?
812
00:49:49,391 --> 00:49:50,821
Take you, Governor.
813
00:49:51,990 --> 00:49:53,478
That walk around the ward
you never take.
814
00:49:54,518 --> 00:49:55,622
What about it?
815
00:49:56,242 --> 00:49:58,312
Well, you know as well as I do, Harry,
everything about it.
816
00:50:00,643 --> 00:50:01,865
Well, Bejees,
I'm going to take it!
817
00:50:02,951 --> 00:50:04,496
Of course you are,
because I'm gonna help you.
818
00:50:05,135 --> 00:50:07,453
I know it's the thing that you've got to do
before you know what real peace means.
819
00:50:09,161 --> 00:50:10,237
Same thing with you,
Jimmy.
820
00:50:10,893 --> 00:50:13,156
You're goin' have to try and get your
old job back, and no tomorrows about it.
821
00:50:14,143 --> 00:50:15,289
Ahh, I...
822
00:50:15,862 --> 00:50:17,173
No, don't tell me,
I know all about tomorrows.
823
00:50:17,668 --> 00:50:18,883
I wrote the book.
824
00:50:19,962 --> 00:50:21,639
I, I don't
understand you, Hickey.
825
00:50:22,818 --> 00:50:27,510
I admit I've foolishly delayed,
but as it happens, I'd just made up my mind
826
00:50:28,071 --> 00:50:29,600
that as soon as I could
get straightened out...
827
00:50:30,374 --> 00:50:33,145
Fine, fine, that's the spirit,
and I'm gonna help you, Jimmy.
828
00:50:33,809 --> 00:50:37,069
'Cause you've always been damned kind to me,
and I wanna prove how grateful I am to you.
829
00:50:37,994 --> 00:50:40,149
When it's all over,
you don't have to nag yourself any more.
830
00:50:40,856 --> 00:50:42,190
You'll be grateful
to me, too.
831
00:50:42,863 --> 00:50:47,283
And all the rest of you, the ladies included,
are in the same boat, one way or another.
832
00:50:48,229 --> 00:50:49,651
Be God, you've hit the nail
on my head, Hickey.
833
00:50:51,608 --> 00:50:53,728
This dump is the Palace of Pipe Dreams!
834
00:50:54,425 --> 00:50:58,130
Well, well,
the Old Grandstand Foolosopher speaks, ah?
835
00:50:59,391 --> 00:51:01,232
And you think you're
the big exception, eh?
836
00:51:01,867 --> 00:51:03,285
Life doesn't mean a damn
to you any more.
837
00:51:03,922 --> 00:51:06,312
You're retired from the circus,
you're impatiently waiting for the end
838
00:51:06,983 --> 00:51:08,345
in the good old Long Sleep.
839
00:51:09,116 --> 00:51:10,567
Well, I think a lot of you,
Larry, you old bastard,
840
00:51:11,141 --> 00:51:12,573
and I'll try and make an
honest man out of you, too.
841
00:51:13,547 --> 00:51:15,212
What the devil
are you hintin' at?
842
00:51:15,621 --> 00:51:17,937
Well, you don't have to ask me, do you,
wise old guy like you?
843
00:51:18,510 --> 00:51:20,506
Just ask yourself,
I'll bet you know.
844
00:51:21,101 --> 00:51:22,301
He's got your number
all right, Larry.
845
00:51:22,900 --> 00:51:23,714
That's the stuff,
Hickey.
846
00:51:23,951 --> 00:51:25,344
He's got no right
to sneak out of everything.
847
00:51:25,398 --> 00:51:27,807
Well, hello!
A stranger in our midst.
848
00:51:30,523 --> 00:51:31,622
I didn't notice you
before, brother.
849
00:51:36,151 --> 00:51:37,228
My name's, uh, Parritt,
I'm an old friend of Larry's.
850
00:51:42,736 --> 00:51:44,000
What are you staring at?
851
00:51:44,528 --> 00:51:46,069
Oh, no offense, brother,
I was just trying to figure.
852
00:51:47,122 --> 00:51:49,536
Haven't we met before...
some place?
853
00:51:51,682 --> 00:51:53,236
No, it's the first time
I've been East.
854
00:51:53,479 --> 00:51:54,862
No, you're right,
I know that's not it.
855
00:51:55,802 --> 00:51:57,510
You see, in my game, to be a shark at it,
you teach yourself
856
00:51:58,117 --> 00:51:59,685
never to forget
a name or a face.
857
00:52:00,699 --> 00:52:02,375
But still
I know damned well there's...
858
00:52:03,301 --> 00:52:04,971
something that
I recognize about you.
859
00:52:06,926 --> 00:52:08,198
We're members
of the same lodge...
860
00:52:09,299 --> 00:52:10,478
in some way.
861
00:52:11,389 --> 00:52:12,818
What are you
talkin' about?
862
00:52:14,755 --> 00:52:15,920
You're nuts.
863
00:52:16,413 --> 00:52:18,040
Don't kid me, little boy.
864
00:52:18,362 --> 00:52:20,916
I'm a good salesman, so damned good the firm
was glad to take me back after every drunk.
865
00:52:21,493 --> 00:52:23,374
And what made me good
was I could size up anyone.
866
00:52:26,685 --> 00:52:28,167
But still, I don't...
867
00:52:30,446 --> 00:52:31,876
Well, never mind.
868
00:52:32,530 --> 00:52:33,721
I can tell you're havin'
trouble with yourself,
869
00:52:34,241 --> 00:52:35,880
and I'll be glad to do anything I can
to help a friend of Larry's.
870
00:52:36,458 --> 00:52:39,523
Mind your own business, Hickey.
He's nothing to you, or to me.
871
00:52:42,365 --> 00:52:43,902
You're keeping us all
in suspense.
872
00:52:45,125 --> 00:52:46,720
Tell us more about
how you're going to save us.
873
00:52:48,776 --> 00:52:50,436
Well, hell, don't get sore, Larry.
874
00:52:50,924 --> 00:52:53,589
We're old pals,
I've always liked you a lot, you know that.
875
00:52:57,056 --> 00:52:58,352
Forget it, Hickey.
876
00:52:59,162 --> 00:53:00,523
Fine, fine...
877
00:53:01,286 --> 00:53:02,744
Well,
that's the spirit.
878
00:53:07,004 --> 00:53:09,286
What's the matter,everybody?
Come on, drink up! A little action!
879
00:53:13,922 --> 00:53:14,826
Have another...
880
00:53:15,418 --> 00:53:16,794
Hell, this is
a celebration!
881
00:53:19,058 --> 00:53:20,987
Oh, forget it if anything I said
sounded too serious.
882
00:53:21,497 --> 00:53:23,401
You think I'm talkin' out of turn,
just tell me to go chase myself.
883
00:53:25,906 --> 00:53:28,144
No, boys and girls,
I'm not trying to put anything over on you.
884
00:53:29,886 --> 00:53:33,944
It's just that I know now, from experience,
what a lying pipe dream can do to you.
885
00:53:35,250 --> 00:53:38,301
And how damned relieved and contented with
yourself you'll feel when you're rid of it.
886
00:53:43,989 --> 00:53:46,989
Oh, my God...
I'm sleepy all of a sudden.
887
00:53:49,284 --> 00:53:50,675
That long walk
must be gettin' to me.
888
00:53:52,827 --> 00:53:54,243
I better go upstairs.
889
00:54:00,711 --> 00:54:02,115
Hell of a trick
to go dead on you like this.
890
00:54:06,046 --> 00:54:07,292
And no,
boys and girls, I've...
891
00:54:10,669 --> 00:54:12,790
never known
what real peace was until now.
892
00:54:15,617 --> 00:54:17,224
It's a grand feeling.
893
00:54:19,992 --> 00:54:23,982
Like when you're sick and
suffering like hell and then...
894
00:54:24,498 --> 00:54:25,967
doc gives you
a shot in the arm.
895
00:54:28,841 --> 00:54:30,056
The pain goes and...
896
00:54:32,398 --> 00:54:34,231
you drift off.
897
00:54:36,636 --> 00:54:38,536
You let yourself go at last.
898
00:54:41,224 --> 00:54:43,396
You sink down
to the bottom of the sea.
899
00:54:46,676 --> 00:54:48,557
Rest in peace.
900
00:54:52,610 --> 00:54:54,669
There's no further
you have to go.
901
00:54:57,495 --> 00:55:01,723
Not one single hope or dream left to nag you.
902
00:55:08,109 --> 00:55:09,644
But you'll all know
what I mean.
903
00:55:14,059 --> 00:55:16,852
Excuse me,
I'll just grab 40 winks.
904
00:55:19,808 --> 00:55:21,039
Drink up,
everybody...
905
00:55:23,483 --> 00:55:24,990
on me.
906
00:55:25,190 --> 00:55:27,557
Don't let me be
a wet blanket.
907
00:55:30,783 --> 00:55:33,284
All I want
is to see you happy.
908
00:55:43,467 --> 00:55:45,627
THE SAME DAY TOWARD MIDNIGHT
909
00:55:56,075 --> 00:55:57,447
Hickey ain't
overlookin' no bets.
910
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,767
Tell it to Old Wise Guy Larry,
who's still pretendin' he's the one exception
911
00:56:02,263 --> 00:56:03,551
who don't do no
pipe dreamin'!
912
00:56:04,343 --> 00:56:05,167
I...
913
00:56:05,793 --> 00:56:07,015
All right.
914
00:56:08,501 --> 00:56:10,428
Take it out on me,
if it makes you more content.
915
00:56:12,844 --> 00:56:16,780
Sure, I love every hair of your heads,
my great big beautiful baby dolls,
916
00:56:17,975 --> 00:56:19,576
and there's nothing
I wouldn't do for you.
917
00:56:20,185 --> 00:56:21,527
The old
Irish bunk, huh?
918
00:56:22,064 --> 00:56:23,985
We ain't big and we ain't your baby dolls!
919
00:56:25,063 --> 00:56:27,446
But we admit we're beautiful,
huh, Margie? Yeah, sure thing.
920
00:56:28,191 --> 00:56:31,440
But what would he do with beautiful dolls
even if he had the price, the old goat?
921
00:56:32,194 --> 00:56:33,242
Ahh!
922
00:56:33,813 --> 00:56:36,348
Larry, you're okay even though
you are full of bull.
923
00:56:36,922 --> 00:56:39,751
Sure, you're aces with us;
we're nervous, that's all.
924
00:56:40,309 --> 00:56:41,554
It's Hickey,
that lousy drummer!
925
00:56:42,049 --> 00:56:43,156
Why can't he be like
he's always been?
926
00:56:43,627 --> 00:56:45,135
I ain't never seen
a guy change so.
927
00:56:45,724 --> 00:56:47,523
What do you think
happened to him, Larry?
928
00:56:48,043 --> 00:56:49,151
I don't know.
929
00:56:49,679 --> 00:56:52,408
With all his gab
I noticed he's kept that to himself so far.
930
00:56:53,816 --> 00:56:56,901
Maybe he's saving the great revelation
for Harry's party.
931
00:56:58,599 --> 00:57:00,395
Let him mind his own business
and I'll mind mine.
932
00:57:01,098 --> 00:57:02,135
Yeah,
that's what I say.
933
00:57:02,568 --> 00:57:06,276
I told him, "I'll take a lot from you,
Hickey," "like everyone else in this dump,"
934
00:57:07,126 --> 00:57:08,779
"because you always
been a grand guy."
935
00:57:09,356 --> 00:57:11,290
"But there's things I don't take
from you nor nobody, see?"
936
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:15,797
"Remember that," or you'll wake up
in a hospital, "or maybe worse,
937
00:57:16,539 --> 00:57:19,210
"with your wife and the iceman
walkin' slow behind ya."
938
00:57:26,522 --> 00:57:30,124
I stood tellin' people this dump is
closed for the night all I'm gonna!
939
00:57:31,114 --> 00:57:33,591
Let Harry hire a doorman,
pay him wages, if he wants one.
940
00:57:34,232 --> 00:57:34,962
Yeah?
941
00:57:35,463 --> 00:57:36,809
Harry's pretty
damned good to ya.
942
00:57:37,269 --> 00:57:39,125
Sure he is, I don't mean that.
943
00:57:39,780 --> 00:57:41,050
Anyways,
it's all right.
944
00:57:41,722 --> 00:57:43,889
I told Schwartz, the cop,
we closed for the party.
945
00:57:44,768 --> 00:57:46,169
He'll keep folks away.
946
00:57:47,302 --> 00:57:49,530
I wants me a big drink,
that's what.
947
00:57:50,428 --> 00:57:51,224
Who's stoppin' yuh?
948
00:57:51,961 --> 00:57:53,311
You can have all you want
on Hickey.
949
00:57:55,842 --> 00:57:57,875
All right, I earned all the drinks
on him I could drink in a year
950
00:57:58,571 --> 00:58:00,311
for listenin' to his
crazy bull.
951
00:58:01,230 --> 00:58:02,950
And here's hopin'
he gets the lockjaw.
952
00:58:05,463 --> 00:58:07,545
I drinks on him,
but I don't drink with him.
953
00:58:08,096 --> 00:58:09,310
No, sir,
never no more!
954
00:58:09,982 --> 00:58:11,262
Oh, bull.
955
00:58:11,925 --> 00:58:13,497
Hickey's all right,
what's he done to you?
956
00:58:14,085 --> 00:58:15,492
That's my business.
957
00:58:16,060 --> 00:58:17,969
Sure, you would think
he's all right.
958
00:58:18,611 --> 00:58:20,044
He's a white man,
ain't he?
959
00:58:20,627 --> 00:58:22,037
Now listen to me,
you white boys!
960
00:58:23,019 --> 00:58:25,545
Now don't you get it in your head
that I was pretendin' to be what I ain't,
961
00:58:26,203 --> 00:58:28,832
or that I ain't proud to be what I am
you gettin' me?
962
00:58:33,969 --> 00:58:35,870
Or you and me
is goin' to have trouble.
963
00:58:40,483 --> 00:58:41,475
What nerve!
964
00:58:42,084 --> 00:58:43,587
Just because you act nice to him,
he gets a swelled nut...
965
00:58:44,498 --> 00:58:46,276
if that ain't
a coon all over.
966
00:58:46,774 --> 00:58:48,462
He talkin' fight talk, huh?
I'll murder the nigger.
967
00:58:49,355 --> 00:58:51,887
Listen, listen, boys, I, I'm sorry.
968
00:58:54,100 --> 00:58:55,590
You been
good friends to me.
969
00:58:56,311 --> 00:59:01,062
It's that Hickey,
he gets my head all mixed up with craziness.
970
00:59:01,794 --> 00:59:03,051
Oh, that's
all right, Joe.
971
00:59:03,616 --> 00:59:05,182
The boys wasn't
takin' you serious.
972
00:59:06,064 --> 00:59:07,369
Jees, what did I say?
973
00:59:07,968 --> 00:59:09,248
Hickey ain't
overlookin' no bets.
974
00:59:09,856 --> 00:59:11,721
And you gotta admit he's got the right dope.
975
00:59:12,161 --> 00:59:13,548
I mean, on some
of the bums here.
976
00:59:14,057 --> 00:59:16,275
He's certainly got one guy
I know sized up right.
977
00:59:16,527 --> 00:59:18,119
Ain't he, Pearl?
He certainly has.
978
00:59:18,838 --> 00:59:20,109
Cut it out,
I told ya!
979
00:59:20,945 --> 00:59:22,319
It's nothing to me
what happened to him.
980
00:59:23,361 --> 00:59:26,696
But I have a feeling he's dying to tell
us inside him, and yet he's afraid.
981
00:59:27,510 --> 00:59:28,981
Like that damned kid.
982
00:59:30,675 --> 00:59:32,919
Strange the queer way
he seemed to recognize him.
983
00:59:34,118 --> 00:59:36,244
If he's afraid,
that explains why he's off booze.
984
00:59:36,709 --> 00:59:38,481
Afraid if he got drunk,
he might tell...
985
00:59:38,982 --> 00:59:40,069
Well, well, well!
986
00:59:40,587 --> 00:59:41,906
Here I am
in the nick of time.
987
00:59:42,472 --> 00:59:44,109
Well, come on, somebody,
give me a hand with these packages.
988
00:59:45,405 --> 00:59:49,404
Jees, Hickey, you scared me outta a
year's growth, sneakin' in like that.
989
00:59:49,988 --> 00:59:51,098
"Sneakin'?"
990
00:59:51,787 --> 00:59:53,747
You were all so busy drinking in words
of wisdom from Old Wise Guy here,
991
00:59:54,186 --> 00:59:55,633
you couldn't hear
anything else.
992
00:59:56,770 --> 00:59:59,410
And from what I heard, Larry, you're not so
good when you start playing Sherlock Holmes.
993
01:00:00,202 --> 01:00:01,657
You've got me all wrong.
994
01:00:02,062 --> 01:00:04,785
I'm not afraid of anything now,
not even myself.
995
01:00:05,927 --> 01:00:09,036
You better stick to the part of Old Cemetery,
the Barker for the Big Sleep.
996
01:00:09,587 --> 01:00:11,123
That is, if you can still
let yourself get away with it.
997
01:00:11,634 --> 01:00:12,752
"Old Cemetery!"
998
01:00:12,852 --> 01:00:14,129
That's him, Hickey.
We'll have to call him that.
999
01:00:15,279 --> 01:00:17,255
Beginning to do a lot of puzzling about me,
aren't you, Larry?
1000
01:00:18,412 --> 01:00:19,756
But that won't help you.
1001
01:00:20,779 --> 01:00:23,740
You've got to think of yourself,
I couldn't give you my peace.
1002
01:00:24,589 --> 01:00:28,543
You've got to find your own, all I can do
is to help you, and the rest of the gang,
1003
01:00:29,079 --> 01:00:30,495
by showing you the way
to find it.
1004
01:00:31,038 --> 01:00:32,368
Oh, hire a church!
1005
01:00:33,113 --> 01:00:34,718
All right, boys and girls,
don't get sore.
1006
01:00:35,368 --> 01:00:37,009
I guess that did sound too much
like a lousy preacher.
1007
01:00:37,504 --> 01:00:38,996
Well, let's forget it
and get on with the party.
1008
01:00:39,602 --> 01:00:41,370
Is those bundles grub, Hickey?
You bought enough already to feed an army.
1009
01:00:41,678 --> 01:00:43,743
I want this to be the biggest
birthday Harry's ever had.
1010
01:00:44,198 --> 01:00:46,303
Now you and Rocky go out in the hall
and bring in the big surprise!
1011
01:00:46,847 --> 01:00:48,295
My arms are busted
lugging it.
1012
01:00:48,458 --> 01:00:49,489
Jees, you got us all head up!
1013
01:00:49,689 --> 01:00:50,862
What is it, Hickey? Wait and see!
1014
01:00:51,092 --> 01:00:51,899
I thought to myself,
1015
01:00:52,099 --> 01:00:54,923
"I'll bet this is what would please
those whores more than anything."
1016
01:00:55,152 --> 01:00:57,075
Then I said to myself, "I don't care
"how much money it costs, they're worth it,
1017
01:00:57,554 --> 01:00:58,691
"they're the best little
scouts in the world,
1018
01:00:58,891 --> 01:01:00,993
"and they've always been damned kind to me
when I was down and out."
1019
01:01:01,150 --> 01:01:02,644
And I meant
every word of that.
1020
01:01:03,862 --> 01:01:04,937
Well,
what's the matter?
1021
01:01:05,137 --> 01:01:06,832
Ehh...
Oh, I see.
1022
01:01:07,429 --> 01:01:09,024
Now look, you know I didn't
say that to offend you.
1023
01:01:09,688 --> 01:01:10,621
So don't be silly now.
1024
01:01:11,056 --> 01:01:13,228
All right, all right.
Oh, look, here it comes!
1025
01:01:13,814 --> 01:01:14,270
Hickey, what...
1026
01:01:15,016 --> 01:01:17,300
What'd you get?
Unveil it, boys!
1027
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:21,385
Oh, it's champagne!
1028
01:01:22,078 --> 01:01:23,318
Oh, jees, Hickey,
if you ain't a sport!
1029
01:01:23,781 --> 01:01:25,303
I never been soused
on champagne!
1030
01:01:25,647 --> 01:01:26,944
Hey, let's get stinko!
Oh, you betcha my life!
1031
01:01:29,013 --> 01:01:30,481
You sure is hittin'
the high spots, Hickey.
1032
01:01:31,357 --> 01:01:35,126
When I runs my gamblin' house,
I drink that old bubbly water in steins.
1033
01:01:36,236 --> 01:01:39,242
And I'm gonna drink that way again, too,
as soon's I make my stake.
1034
01:01:41,439 --> 01:01:43,221
And that ain't
no pipe dream, neither.
1035
01:01:44,234 --> 01:01:45,634
What'll we drink
it outta, Hickey?
1036
01:01:46,246 --> 01:01:47,345
There ain't no
wine glasses.
1037
01:01:47,791 --> 01:01:48,989
Well, Joe's got
the right idea, steins!
1038
01:01:49,532 --> 01:01:50,762
That's the spirit
for Harry's party.
1039
01:01:51,411 --> 01:01:54,367
We will drink wine beneath the willow trees!
1040
01:01:55,582 --> 01:01:58,150
That's the spirit, brother,
and let the lousy slaves drink vinegar.
1041
01:02:01,207 --> 01:02:02,850
Got damned liar!
1042
01:02:04,469 --> 01:02:05,846
Leave Hugo be!
1043
01:02:06,902 --> 01:02:08,845
He rotted 10 years in prison
for his faith.
1044
01:02:09,390 --> 01:02:10,563
He earned his dream!
1045
01:02:11,056 --> 01:02:12,688
Have you no decency
or pity?
1046
01:02:13,445 --> 01:02:14,782
Hello, what's this?
1047
01:02:16,184 --> 01:02:17,653
I thought you were in
the grandstand.
1048
01:02:19,413 --> 01:02:20,709
Listen, Larry,
you're gettin' me all wrong.
1049
01:02:21,193 --> 01:02:22,310
Hell, you ought
to know me better.
1050
01:02:23,037 --> 01:02:26,513
Of course I have pity, but now that I've seen
the light, it's not my old kind of pity,
1051
01:02:26,999 --> 01:02:28,202
the kind yours is.
1052
01:02:28,806 --> 01:02:31,807
The kind that lets itself off by encouraging some poor guy
to go on kidding himself with a lie.
1053
01:02:32,948 --> 01:02:35,161
The kind that leaves the poor slob worse off
because he feels guiltier than ever.
1054
01:02:37,964 --> 01:02:40,038
Oh, I know how you resent the way
I have to show you up to yourself,
1055
01:02:40,670 --> 01:02:42,549
but you'll be grateful to me
when all at once you're able to admit,
1056
01:02:43,009 --> 01:02:45,932
without feeling ashamed,
that all the grandstand foolosopher bunk
1057
01:02:46,728 --> 01:02:48,430
and the waiting for the Big Sleep stuff
is a pipe dream.
1058
01:02:49,845 --> 01:02:54,089
You'll be able to say to yourself,
"I'm just an old man who is scared of life,
1059
01:02:55,114 --> 01:02:56,582
"but even more
scared of dying.
1060
01:02:57,522 --> 01:03:00,712
"So I'm keeping drunk and hanging on to life
at any price, and what of it?"
1061
01:03:01,881 --> 01:03:05,522
Be God, if I'm not beginning
to think you've gone mad.
1062
01:03:07,783 --> 01:03:09,132
You're a liar!
1063
01:03:09,670 --> 01:03:11,596
Now, listen, that's no way to talk to
an old pal who's trying to help you.
1064
01:03:12,204 --> 01:03:14,962
Hell, if you really wanted to die, you'd just
take a hop off the fire escape, wouldn't you?
1065
01:03:15,647 --> 01:03:18,198
And if you really were in the grandstand,
you wouldn't be pitying everyone.
1066
01:03:21,181 --> 01:03:24,852
As for my being bughouse,
you can't crawl out of it that way.
1067
01:03:25,451 --> 01:03:26,556
I'm too damned sane.
1068
01:03:27,242 --> 01:03:28,907
I can size up guys and turn 'em inside out
better than I ever could,
1069
01:03:29,371 --> 01:03:30,972
even where they're strangers
like that Parritt kid.
1070
01:03:32,652 --> 01:03:34,013
He's licked, Larry.
1071
01:03:34,533 --> 01:03:35,856
For the love of God,
mind your own business.
1072
01:03:37,944 --> 01:03:39,111
How'd you know about him?
1073
01:03:39,990 --> 01:03:41,400
He's hardly
spoken to you.
1074
01:03:42,138 --> 01:03:43,555
No, that's right,
but I do know a lot about him just the same.
1075
01:03:44,599 --> 01:03:46,455
I've had hell inside of me,
I can spot it in others.
1076
01:03:49,346 --> 01:03:51,808
Maybe that's what gives me the feeling
there's something familiar about him,
1077
01:03:52,886 --> 01:03:54,198
something between us.
1078
01:03:54,974 --> 01:03:56,320
No, it's more than that.
1079
01:03:57,229 --> 01:03:59,809
Tell me about him, for example,
I don't imagine he's married, is he?
1080
01:04:00,401 --> 01:04:01,239
No.
1081
01:04:01,561 --> 01:04:03,504
Hasn't he been mixed up with some woman?
Oh, I don't mean trollops.
1082
01:04:04,306 --> 01:04:06,647
I mean the old real love stuff
that crucifies you.
1083
01:04:08,883 --> 01:04:11,702
Maybe you're right, I wouldn't be surprised.
1084
01:04:13,624 --> 01:04:14,700
I see.
1085
01:04:15,631 --> 01:04:17,588
You think I'm on the wrong track
and you're glad I am.
1086
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,634
Because then I won't suspect whatever
it is he did about the Great Cause.
1087
01:04:23,090 --> 01:04:24,810
That's another lie you keep
telling yourself, Larry,
1088
01:04:26,060 --> 01:04:28,246
that the good old cause
means nothing to you any more.
1089
01:04:28,592 --> 01:04:29,269
What the hell...
1090
01:04:29,305 --> 01:04:30,503
But you're wrong
about Parritt.
1091
01:04:30,991 --> 01:04:32,991
That's not what's got him stopped,
it's what's behind that.
1092
01:04:34,742 --> 01:04:37,247
And it's a woman, I recognize the symptoms.
1093
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:40,734
And you're the boy
who's never wrong.
1094
01:04:42,950 --> 01:04:45,012
His trouble is he was
brought up a devout believer
1095
01:04:45,599 --> 01:04:47,271
in the Movement,
and now he's lost his faith!
1096
01:04:48,255 --> 01:04:49,183
It's a shock...
1097
01:04:50,319 --> 01:04:54,935
but he's young, and he'll soon find
another dream just as good or as bad.
1098
01:04:55,702 --> 01:04:57,039
All right, I'll let it go
at that, Larry.
1099
01:04:57,518 --> 01:04:59,118
He's nothing to me,
except that I'm glad he's here
1100
01:04:59,943 --> 01:05:01,510
'cause he'll help me
make you wake up to yourself.
1101
01:05:04,549 --> 01:05:07,935
I don't even like the guy,
or the feeling there's anything between us.
1102
01:05:08,437 --> 01:05:09,864
But you'll find out
that I'm right just the same,
1103
01:05:10,909 --> 01:05:12,707
when you get to the final
showdown with him.
1104
01:05:13,455 --> 01:05:14,672
There'll be no showdown!
I don't give a tinker's...
1105
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:16,370
Sticking to
the grandstand, eh?
1106
01:05:19,527 --> 01:05:21,802
I always knew that you'd be the toughest
of all the gang to convince, Larry.
1107
01:05:22,441 --> 01:05:24,193
And along with Harry
and Jimmy Tomorrow.
1108
01:05:25,548 --> 01:05:27,021
It was you
I wanted to help the most.
1109
01:05:32,075 --> 01:05:33,405
I've always liked you a lot,
you old bastard.
1110
01:05:35,128 --> 01:05:36,437
Hey, not much time
before 12:00!
1111
01:05:37,142 --> 01:05:38,275
Well, come on, gang,
let's get going.
1112
01:05:38,981 --> 01:05:40,178
Come on, boys and girls,
let's get busy.
1113
01:05:40,857 --> 01:05:42,351
Let's see,
cake's all set.
1114
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,252
And my gifts
and yours, girls.
1115
01:05:44,835 --> 01:05:45,960
It's a tie,
tie and a handkerchief.
1116
01:05:46,275 --> 01:05:48,326
Chuck and Rocky, hmm?
What's this for, Hickey?
1117
01:05:48,535 --> 01:05:49,974
Harry certainly will be very
touched by your thoughts of him.
1118
01:05:50,762 --> 01:05:52,627
Now Margie and Pearl, get back in the bar
and get ready to bring the grub right in.
1119
01:05:53,322 --> 01:05:54,683
There'll be some
drinking first and some toasts.
1120
01:05:55,186 --> 01:05:56,394
My idea was to use the wine for that,
so get that all set.
1121
01:05:57,050 --> 01:05:58,787
Now I'll go upstairs and root everybody up,
Harry the last.
1122
01:05:59,338 --> 01:06:00,579
When you hear us coming,
somebody light the candles
1123
01:06:01,586 --> 01:06:03,283
and start playing
his favorite tune on the piano.
1124
01:06:03,786 --> 01:06:05,147
Well, come on, Cora,
everybody, let's hustle!
1125
01:06:05,627 --> 01:06:06,763
We want this to come off
in style, uh?
1126
01:06:07,251 --> 01:06:09,376
But Jees,I gotta practice.
I ain't laid my mitts on a box in God knows when.
1127
01:06:10,255 --> 01:06:11,356
Hey, Joe!
1128
01:06:13,007 --> 01:06:14,382
*
Oh, Jees, I've forgotten this has-been tune.
1129
01:06:14,852 --> 01:06:16,008
Come on, Joe,
hum it so I can follow.
1130
01:06:29,619 --> 01:06:30,569
Be God!
1131
01:06:31,402 --> 01:06:33,887
It's the second feast of Belshazzar,
with Hickey to do the writing on the wall!
1132
01:06:35,038 --> 01:06:36,553
Aw, shut up,
Old Cemetery!
1133
01:06:37,518 --> 01:06:38,896
Well, if it ain't
Prince Willie.
1134
01:06:39,890 --> 01:06:41,049
Gee, kid,
you look sick.
1135
01:06:41,778 --> 01:06:42,896
Get a couple
of shots in ya.
1136
01:06:43,500 --> 01:06:45,115
No, thanks, not now,
I'm-I'm-I'm tapering off.
1137
01:06:55,218 --> 01:06:57,141
It's been hell up in
that damned room, Larry.
1138
01:06:59,254 --> 01:07:00,729
The-the-the things
I've imagined!
1139
01:07:03,082 --> 01:07:04,178
But...
1140
01:07:05,595 --> 01:07:07,208
I've-I've got it beat now.
1141
01:07:08,419 --> 01:07:09,161
By-by tomorrow morning I'll...
1142
01:07:09,654 --> 01:07:10,958
I'll be on the wagon.
1143
01:07:11,577 --> 01:07:12,659
And I'll, uh...
1144
01:07:13,192 --> 01:07:15,176
I'll get back my clothes
first thing.
1145
01:07:15,833 --> 01:07:17,235
Hickey's loaning
me the money.
1146
01:07:18,401 --> 01:07:19,879
And I'm goin' to do
what I always said.
1147
01:07:20,310 --> 01:07:23,818
I'm-I'm-I'm gonna go to the D.A.'s office,
because he knows that I...
1148
01:07:24,545 --> 01:07:26,286
I-I really
was a brilliant student.
1149
01:07:27,816 --> 01:07:29,418
Oh, I know I can make good.
1150
01:07:31,995 --> 01:07:33,478
I-I owe a lot to Hickey.
1151
01:07:35,007 --> 01:07:36,489
He's...made me wake up to myself
and see what a fool...
1152
01:07:38,961 --> 01:07:39,977
It wasn't nice to face but...
1153
01:07:43,293 --> 01:07:44,519
It's not what he says.
1154
01:07:45,572 --> 01:07:47,256
It's what you feel
behind what he hints!
1155
01:07:48,326 --> 01:07:50,872
Christ, you'd think all I really wanted to
do with my life was sit here and stay drunk!
1156
01:07:51,500 --> 01:07:52,628
I'll show him!
1157
01:07:56,488 --> 01:07:58,495
You want my advice...
1158
01:07:59,495 --> 01:08:01,389
you'll put your mouth on this bottle
and keep it there
1159
01:08:01,964 --> 01:08:03,707
until you don't
give a damn about Hickey.
1160
01:08:06,509 --> 01:08:07,804
That's fine advice.
1161
01:08:09,924 --> 01:08:11,654
I thought you
were my friend!
1162
01:08:27,736 --> 01:08:29,098
Gee, I'm glad
you're here, Larry.
1163
01:08:30,707 --> 01:08:32,312
That damned fool Hickey
knocked on my door.
1164
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:35,538
I opened up because
I thought it must be you.
1165
01:08:36,058 --> 01:08:37,304
He came bustin' in and
made me come downstairs here.
1166
01:08:39,735 --> 01:08:42,023
I don't know what for, I don't belong at this
birthday celebration, I don't know this gang,
1167
01:08:43,214 --> 01:08:44,495
and I don't wanna be
mixed up with them.
1168
01:08:44,788 --> 01:08:46,967
All I came here for was to find you!
I've warned you that...
1169
01:08:47,213 --> 01:08:48,553
Can't you make Hickey
mind his own business?
1170
01:08:50,186 --> 01:08:52,891
Just now he pats me on the shoulder,
like he's sympathizing with me.
1171
01:08:54,713 --> 01:08:56,447
He says, "I know how it is, son,
"but you can't hide from yourself,
1172
01:08:56,953 --> 01:08:58,424
"not even here
on the bottom of the sea.
1173
01:08:59,265 --> 01:09:00,808
"You've gotta face the truth
and then do what must be done
1174
01:09:01,366 --> 01:09:03,040
"for your own peace and for the happiness
of all concerned."
1175
01:09:03,481 --> 01:09:04,896
Now, what'd he mean by that, Larry?
How the hell would I know?
1176
01:09:06,088 --> 01:09:08,557
Then he grins at me and says, "Oh,
never mind, "Larry's getting wise to himself.
1177
01:09:09,082 --> 01:09:10,235
"I think you can rely on his
help in the end.
1178
01:09:10,659 --> 01:09:12,561
"He's gonna have to choose between living
and dying, "and he'll never choose to die
1179
01:09:13,548 --> 01:09:14,229
while there's a breath
left in the old bastard!"
1180
01:09:15,209 --> 01:09:16,465
Then he laughs
like it's a joke on you.
1181
01:09:19,519 --> 01:09:20,649
Well, what do you say
to that, Larry?
1182
01:09:21,156 --> 01:09:22,198
I've got nothing to say.
1183
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,327
Except you're a bigger fool
than he is to listen to him.
1184
01:09:27,005 --> 01:09:28,472
Oh, is that so?
Well, he's no fool where you're concerned.
1185
01:09:28,810 --> 01:09:29,719
He's got your number,
all right.
1186
01:09:30,545 --> 01:09:32,735
Well, hello,
"Tightwad Kid."
1187
01:09:33,741 --> 01:09:34,813
Hey, did you come
to join the party?
1188
01:09:35,549 --> 01:09:37,077
Oh, wow, boy,
don't he act bashful, Pearl?
1189
01:09:43,094 --> 01:09:44,478
Hey, Rocky,
fighting in the hall!
1190
01:09:45,005 --> 01:09:46,022
Don't touch me!
1191
01:09:46,461 --> 01:09:47,318
Can you beat it?
1192
01:09:53,660 --> 01:09:56,696
I heard you's two call each other every
name you can think of but I never seen...
1193
01:09:57,904 --> 01:10:01,226
A swell time to stage your first bout,
on Harry's birthday party!
1194
01:10:02,052 --> 01:10:03,283
What started
the scrap?
1195
01:10:03,752 --> 01:10:04,694
Nothing, old chap.
1196
01:10:05,210 --> 01:10:08,620
Our business, you know, but that bloody ass,
Hickey, made some insinuation about me,
1197
01:10:09,122 --> 01:10:11,550
and the boorish Boer had the impertinence
to agree with him!
1198
01:10:12,297 --> 01:10:13,762
That's a lie!
1199
01:10:14,529 --> 01:10:19,067
Hickey made joke about me,
and this Limey said yes, it was true!
1200
01:10:19,647 --> 01:10:21,260
Well, sit down
the both of you!
1201
01:10:21,826 --> 01:10:23,359
And cut out
this rough stuff!
1202
01:10:30,052 --> 01:10:31,341
Here's the star
boarder.
1203
01:10:32,045 --> 01:10:33,357
It's serious
this time.
1204
01:10:33,974 --> 01:10:37,229
I'm tellin' all of you,
that bastard Hickey's got Harry on the hip.
1205
01:10:38,638 --> 01:10:41,077
And it ain't gonna do us no good if he
gets Harry to take that walk tomorrow.
1206
01:10:42,549 --> 01:10:45,829
He's sure to call on Bessie's relations
and have a little cry over poor old Bessie.
1207
01:10:47,013 --> 01:10:49,771
And you know what that bitch
and all her family thought of me!
1208
01:10:51,651 --> 01:10:56,110
Once Bessie's relations get their hooks
into him, it'll be as tough for us
1209
01:10:56,965 --> 01:10:58,600
as if she
wasn't even gone.
1210
01:10:59,244 --> 01:11:00,366
Everything all set?
1211
01:11:00,940 --> 01:11:01,835
Ah, fine.
1212
01:11:02,368 --> 01:11:03,900
Half-a-minute to go,
Harry's starting down with Jimmy now.
1213
01:11:04,573 --> 01:11:05,624
I had a hard time
getting him to move.
1214
01:11:06,224 --> 01:11:07,431
Harry don't even want to
remember it's his birthday now!
1215
01:11:07,982 --> 01:11:09,713
Oh, here they come!
Come on, everybody, light the candles!
1216
01:11:10,178 --> 01:11:12,241
Cora, get ready to play,
stand up, everybody, eh?
1217
01:11:12,714 --> 01:11:13,730
Chuck, Rocky,
the wine!
1218
01:11:15,466 --> 01:11:16,795
Let's see, 12:00 o'clock
on the dot.
1219
01:11:17,265 --> 01:11:19,736
Come on, everybody,
with a "Happy Birthday, Harry!"
1220
01:11:20,193 --> 01:11:22,129
Happy Birthday, Harry!
1221
01:11:22,665 --> 01:11:23,657
Hey!
1222
01:11:24,865 --> 01:11:26,269
Cut out the glad hand,
Hickey!
1223
01:11:26,726 --> 01:11:27,804
You think
I'm a sucker?
1224
01:11:28,412 --> 01:11:31,034
Bejees, I know you,
you sneaking, lying drummer!
1225
01:11:32,476 --> 01:11:36,915
And all you bums, what the hell you trying
to do, yelling and raising the roof?
1226
01:11:37,531 --> 01:11:40,562
You want the cops to close the joint,
and take my license away?
1227
01:11:42,016 --> 01:11:44,286
Hey, you dumb tart, quit banging that box.
1228
01:11:45,297 --> 01:11:46,432
Jees, Harry, I...
1229
01:11:47,763 --> 01:11:49,755
Bejees, the least you could do
is learn a tune.
1230
01:11:50,927 --> 01:11:53,483
You two hookers,
screaming at the top of your lungs!
1231
01:11:54,205 --> 01:11:55,926
What do you think this is,
a dollar cathouse?
1232
01:11:56,802 --> 01:11:58,263
Bejees,
that's where you belong!
1233
01:12:01,261 --> 01:12:04,063
Jees, Harry, I never thought
you'd say it like you meant it.
1234
01:12:07,179 --> 01:12:08,707
Now, Harry, you don't want
to get sore at the gang
1235
01:12:09,252 --> 01:12:10,618
just 'cause you're upset
about yourself, hmm?
1236
01:12:11,450 --> 01:12:12,764
Look, anyway, I promised you it'd
come through all right, haven't I?
1237
01:12:13,259 --> 01:12:14,594
So quit worrying.
Ahh...
1238
01:12:15,233 --> 01:12:16,719
You don't wanna blow out the old gang
1239
01:12:16,919 --> 01:12:19,408
just when they're congratulating
you on your birthday, do you?
1240
01:12:19,782 --> 01:12:21,139
Bejees, they ain't as dumb as you.
1241
01:12:21,898 --> 01:12:23,491
They know I was
only kiddin' 'em.
1242
01:12:24,186 --> 01:12:26,127
They know I appreciate
their congratulations.
1243
01:12:26,730 --> 01:12:27,819
Don't you, fellas, huh?
1244
01:12:28,234 --> 01:12:29,585
Yeah, sure Harry.
1245
01:12:33,546 --> 01:12:34,966
Bejees,
I like you broads.
1246
01:12:36,312 --> 01:12:37,794
You know
I was only kiddin'.
1247
01:12:39,274 --> 01:12:40,985
Sure, we know,Harry.
Sure!
1248
01:12:43,251 --> 01:12:44,681
It's that lousy drummer riding me
that's got my goat.
1249
01:12:45,518 --> 01:12:46,986
I know, Harry,
I know.
1250
01:12:47,815 --> 01:12:50,638
Hey, come on, look at your cake,
you haven't even noticed it yet!
1251
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:52,799
Ain't it grand?
1252
01:12:53,281 --> 01:12:54,849
Yeah, say,
that's pretty.
1253
01:12:55,459 --> 01:12:56,711
I ain't have had a cake
since Bessie...
1254
01:12:58,419 --> 01:12:59,327
And six candles, eh?
1255
01:12:59,448 --> 01:13:01,001
Each for 10 years, eh?
1256
01:13:01,487 --> 01:13:02,554
You got it.
1257
01:13:04,247 --> 01:13:05,900
That was
thoughtful of him.
1258
01:13:06,898 --> 01:13:07,994
He means well,
I guess...
1259
01:13:08,363 --> 01:13:10,451
The hell with this cake!
Oh, oh, wait, Harry!
1260
01:13:11,022 --> 01:13:13,419
You ain't seen the presents from me and
Margie and Cora, and Chuck and Rocky.
1261
01:13:14,141 --> 01:13:17,523
And there's a watch all engraved
with your name and the date from Hickey.
1262
01:13:18,757 --> 01:13:19,697
Ah, the hell with it!
1263
01:13:20,314 --> 01:13:21,480
Bejees,
he can keep it!
1264
01:13:22,734 --> 01:13:25,817
Jees,
he ain't even goin' to look at our presents!
1265
01:13:27,369 --> 01:13:29,429
Hey, hey, come on everybody,
this is all wrong!
1266
01:13:30,151 --> 01:13:32,345
If someone don't put some life in this party
I'm gonna go nuts!
1267
01:13:32,576 --> 01:13:33,728
Hey, Cora, come on!
1268
01:13:34,424 --> 01:13:35,589
Why don't
you bang on that box?
1269
01:13:36,769 --> 01:13:38,186
Eh...ohh, play somethin'
for Harry, uh?
1270
01:13:38,910 --> 01:13:40,142
You don't have to stop
just 'cause he kidded you.
1271
01:13:41,386 --> 01:13:42,742
Yeah, now you was
playing it fine, Cora.
1272
01:13:43,421 --> 01:13:44,878
It was Bessie's
favorite tune.
1273
01:13:45,398 --> 01:13:46,677
She was always
singing it.
1274
01:13:47,253 --> 01:13:48,854
It brings her back,
I wish...
1275
01:13:49,422 --> 01:13:51,894
Yes, we've all heard you tell us
that you thought the world of her, Governor.
1276
01:13:53,766 --> 01:13:55,030
So I did, bejees...
1277
01:13:55,756 --> 01:13:57,039
everyone knows I did.
1278
01:13:57,854 --> 01:13:59,897
And bejees,
if you say I didn't...
1279
01:14:00,064 --> 01:14:01,358
Now, Governor,
I didn't say anything.
1280
01:14:01,862 --> 01:14:03,245
You're the only one that knows
the truth about that.
1281
01:14:04,453 --> 01:14:07,334
Marjorie's favorite song
was "Loch Lomond."
1282
01:14:09,190 --> 01:14:15,527
She was beautiful, she had a beautiful voice,
and she played the piano beautifully.
1283
01:14:17,958 --> 01:14:19,437
You were lucky, Harry, Bessie died.
1284
01:14:20,814 --> 01:14:24,742
But there are more bitter sorrows than losing
the woman one loves by the hand of death.
1285
01:14:25,398 --> 01:14:26,766
Now, you needn't
go on, Jimmy.
1286
01:14:27,248 --> 01:14:28,726
We've all heard the story about
how you came back to Cape Town
1287
01:14:29,206 --> 01:14:30,470
and found her in the hay
with a staff officer.
1288
01:14:30,990 --> 01:14:33,104
We all know that you'd like to believe that
that's what started you on the booze
1289
01:14:33,733 --> 01:14:34,989
and ruined your life.
1290
01:14:36,310 --> 01:14:37,850
I... I'm talking to Harry.
1291
01:14:39,014 --> 01:14:40,581
Will you kindly
keep out of...
1292
01:14:42,322 --> 01:14:43,998
My life is not ruined!
1293
01:14:45,126 --> 01:14:46,686
But I'll bet when you admit
the truth to yourself,
1294
01:14:47,804 --> 01:14:50,509
you'll confess it, you were pretty sick
of her hating you for getting drunk.
1295
01:14:51,433 --> 01:14:54,389
And I'll bet you were really damned relieved
when she gave you such a good excuse.
1296
01:14:55,709 --> 01:14:57,258
I know how it is, Jimmy, you see, I...
Ha!
1297
01:14:58,398 --> 01:14:59,625
So that's what
happened, is it?
1298
01:15:00,517 --> 01:15:02,928
Your iceman joke finally
came home to roost, did it?
1299
01:15:04,905 --> 01:15:06,930
Maybe you should've remembered
there's truth in the old superstition
1300
01:15:07,401 --> 01:15:11,118
that you'd better look out what you call,
because in the end it comes to you.
1301
01:15:11,978 --> 01:15:13,312
Was that a fact,
Larry?
1302
01:15:13,946 --> 01:15:14,934
Well, well.
1303
01:15:15,620 --> 01:15:17,657
Then you'd better be careful
how you keep calling for the old Big Sleep.
1304
01:15:19,104 --> 01:15:20,358
Chair.
1305
01:15:20,668 --> 01:15:22,712
Well, what are we waiting for, boys and girls?
Let's get this party rolling!
1306
01:15:23,277 --> 01:15:25,349
Chuck, Rocky,
bring on the big surprise!
1307
01:15:26,216 --> 01:15:27,708
Oh, Governor, you sit over here
at the head of the table.
1308
01:15:28,623 --> 01:15:29,609
Come on.
1309
01:15:30,968 --> 01:15:32,355
Well, sit down,
girls, sit down.
1310
01:15:36,739 --> 01:15:38,276
And I'll sit here
at the foot.
1311
01:15:39,865 --> 01:15:41,515
Real champagne, bums,
cheer up!
1312
01:15:49,955 --> 01:15:51,855
What is this,
a funeral?
1313
01:15:52,350 --> 01:15:55,461
Mixin' champagne with Harry's redeye
will knock you paralyzed!
1314
01:15:56,716 --> 01:15:58,660
Ain't you never
satisfied?
1315
01:16:01,884 --> 01:16:03,434
Order, order,
Ladies and gents!
1316
01:16:05,878 --> 01:16:07,709
Oh, yes, I am going to drink
with you this time, Larry.
1317
01:16:08,216 --> 01:16:11,031
To prove that I'm not teetotal because
the booze'll make me spill my secrets, as you think.
1318
01:16:11,943 --> 01:16:13,673
I don't need the booze anymore,
or anything else.
1319
01:16:14,509 --> 01:16:17,731
I just want to be sociable and propose a
toast in honor of our old friend, Harry,
1320
01:16:18,389 --> 01:16:19,571
and drink it with you.
1321
01:16:20,261 --> 01:16:21,664
Wake up our
demon bomb-tosser, Rocky.
1322
01:16:22,297 --> 01:16:23,901
We don't want any corpses
at this feast.
1323
01:16:25,229 --> 01:16:26,406
Hey, Hugo,
come up for air!
1324
01:16:26,857 --> 01:16:27,972
Don't you see
the champagne?
1325
01:16:29,131 --> 01:16:30,007
Hah.
1326
01:16:30,482 --> 01:16:34,866
We will eat birthday cake
and drink champagne beneath the willow trees!
1327
01:16:40,618 --> 01:16:41,960
This wine
is unfit to drink!
1328
01:16:42,789 --> 01:16:44,633
It has not properly
been iced!
1329
01:16:46,067 --> 01:16:47,906
Always a high-toned swell at heart, eh, Hugo?
1330
01:16:49,187 --> 01:16:51,619
Well, God help us poor bums if you'd ever got
to telling us where to get off.
1331
01:16:52,218 --> 01:16:54,113
You'd have been drinking our blood beneath
those willow trees!
1332
01:16:54,924 --> 01:16:56,365
But here's the toast,
Ladies and gents.
1333
01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:00,556
Here's to Harry Hope, who's been a
friend in need to every one of us.
1334
01:17:01,775 --> 01:17:05,111
And here's to the old Governor,
the best sport and the kindest,
1335
01:17:05,580 --> 01:17:07,091
biggest-hearted guy
in the world.
1336
01:17:07,635 --> 01:17:09,214
Come on, everybody,
to Harry!
1337
01:17:09,661 --> 01:17:10,940
Bottoms up.
1338
01:17:11,090 --> 01:17:13,192
To Harry! To you, boss.
Happy Birthday!
1339
01:17:15,515 --> 01:17:16,806
Thanks, all of you.
1340
01:17:18,297 --> 01:17:22,240
Hickey, you old son of a bitch,
that's white of you.
1341
01:17:23,708 --> 01:17:24,794
I know you
meant it, too.
1342
01:17:25,426 --> 01:17:26,861
Of course I meant it,
Harry, old friend.
1343
01:17:27,646 --> 01:17:30,335
And I mean it when I say that I hope that
this will be the biggest day in your life,
1344
01:17:31,306 --> 01:17:33,967
and in the lives of everyone here,
and the beginning of a new life
1345
01:17:35,294 --> 01:17:36,922
of peace and contentment.
1346
01:17:37,578 --> 01:17:39,012
And here's to that,
Harry.
1347
01:17:39,453 --> 01:17:42,050
Oh, forget that bughouse line
of bull for a minute, can't you?
1348
01:17:43,179 --> 01:17:44,577
You're right, Rocky,
I am talking too much.
1349
01:17:45,182 --> 01:17:46,424
It's Harry
we want to hear from.
1350
01:17:46,993 --> 01:17:49,455
Speech, speech, speech!
1351
01:17:51,300 --> 01:17:52,634
Bejees, I'm...
1352
01:17:53,192 --> 01:17:54,594
I'm no good
at speeches.
1353
01:17:55,324 --> 01:18:01,382
All I can say is thanks to everybody again
for remembering me on my birthday.
1354
01:18:04,550 --> 01:18:09,634
Only don't think because I'm 60, I'll be
a bigger damned fool easy mark than ever!
1355
01:18:10,604 --> 01:18:12,401
Like Hickey says,
it's gonna be a new day!
1356
01:18:13,099 --> 01:18:14,904
This dump has got to be run
like other dumps,
1357
01:18:15,571 --> 01:18:17,269
so I can make some money
and not just split even.
1358
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:19,966
I'm sick of bein'
played for a sucker.
1359
01:18:22,014 --> 01:18:27,025
I know you're all laughin' at me now
behind my back, thinking to yourselves,
1360
01:18:28,079 --> 01:18:32,031
"The old, lying' pipe-dreaming faker,
"we've heard his bull
1361
01:18:32,687 --> 01:18:35,307
"about takin' a walk around the ward
for years, "he'll never make it!
1362
01:18:36,249 --> 01:18:38,841
"He's scared, he's yellow,
"he ain't got the guts!
1363
01:18:39,653 --> 01:18:41,060
He's scared
he'll find out... ".
1364
01:18:43,150 --> 01:18:44,446
But I'll show you,
bejees!
1365
01:18:45,109 --> 01:18:49,530
And I'll show you, too, you son of a bitch
of a frying-pan-peddling bastard!
1366
01:18:50,778 --> 01:18:52,278
Hu, hu, hu,
that's the stuff, Harry!
1367
01:18:53,221 --> 01:18:54,471
Of course you'll try to show me,
that's what I want you to do.
1368
01:18:58,872 --> 01:19:00,256
Bejees...
1369
01:19:01,194 --> 01:19:03,105
all of you, forgive me.
1370
01:19:03,866 --> 01:19:05,581
I lost my temper.
1371
01:19:06,303 --> 01:19:07,938
I ain't feeling well.
1372
01:19:10,481 --> 01:19:12,015
I got a hell
of a grouch on.
1373
01:19:13,935 --> 01:19:15,983
You're as welcome
as the flowers in May!
1374
01:19:20,590 --> 01:19:23,902
Oh, sure, boss,
you're always aces with us, see?
1375
01:19:27,387 --> 01:19:28,871
Listen, everybody.
1376
01:19:29,393 --> 01:19:30,915
I know you're sick
of my gabbing, but, uh,
1377
01:19:31,702 --> 01:19:33,324
I think I owe it to you
to do a little explaining
1378
01:19:33,851 --> 01:19:35,592
and apologize for some of the rough stuff
I've had to pull on you.
1379
01:19:36,750 --> 01:19:38,328
I had to make you help
each other with me, eh?
1380
01:19:39,386 --> 01:19:40,937
I saw that I couldn't do
what I had to do alone.
1381
01:19:41,647 --> 01:19:42,890
Not in the time
at my disposal.
1382
01:19:43,457 --> 01:19:45,076
I knew when I came here
I wouldn't be able to stay long.
1383
01:19:45,624 --> 01:19:47,180
I'm slated to leave
on a trip.
1384
01:19:48,163 --> 01:19:50,513
Now I know every one of you,
inside and out, by heart.
1385
01:19:51,361 --> 01:19:53,017
I may have been drunk
when I've been here before,
1386
01:19:53,736 --> 01:19:56,506
but old Hickey could never be so drunk
he couldn't have to see through everybody.
1387
01:19:57,647 --> 01:19:59,335
Everybody, that is,
except himself.
1388
01:20:00,287 --> 01:20:01,795
And finally, he had to
see through himself, too.
1389
01:20:02,502 --> 01:20:03,966
Now I swear I would've
never acted this way
1390
01:20:04,477 --> 01:20:06,526
if I didn't absolutely believe it'd
be worthwhile to you in the end.
1391
01:20:07,523 --> 01:20:09,532
When you're rid of the damned guilt
that makes you lie to yourselves
1392
01:20:10,043 --> 01:20:12,391
that you're something you're not,
and the remorse that nags at you
1393
01:20:13,098 --> 01:20:17,662
and makes you hide behind lousy pipe dreams,
you won't give a damn what you are anymore.
1394
01:20:18,545 --> 01:20:20,561
I wouldn't say this unless
I knew, brothers and sisters.
1395
01:20:21,072 --> 01:20:22,345
This peace is real,
it is a fact.
1396
01:20:22,830 --> 01:20:25,495
I know, because I've got it, here, now,
right in front of you.
1397
01:20:26,865 --> 01:20:28,220
Well, you can see
the difference in me.
1398
01:20:29,028 --> 01:20:30,098
You remember
how I used to be.
1399
01:20:30,641 --> 01:20:33,216
Even when I had two quarts of rotgut under
my belt, and joked and sang "Sweet Adeline,"
1400
01:20:33,801 --> 01:20:35,689
I still felt like
a guilty skunk.
1401
01:20:36,319 --> 01:20:38,675
But you can see that I don't give a damn
about anything anymore.
1402
01:20:39,602 --> 01:20:42,128
And I promise you,
by the time this day is over,
1403
01:20:43,539 --> 01:20:45,850
I'll have every one of you
feeling the same way.
1404
01:20:47,413 --> 01:20:49,515
I guess that's about all from me
for the present, boys and girls.
1405
01:20:50,351 --> 01:20:51,870
So, let's get on with the party.
Wait!
1406
01:20:54,635 --> 01:20:58,971
I think it would help us, poor pipe-dreaming
sinners along the sawdust trail to salvation,
1407
01:21:01,023 --> 01:21:03,163
if you told us now what it was happened
that converted you
1408
01:21:03,624 --> 01:21:05,536
to this great peace
you've found.
1409
01:21:06,700 --> 01:21:08,841
I noticed you didn't say anything
when I asked you about the iceman.
1410
01:21:10,650 --> 01:21:13,652
Did this great revelation
of the evil habit of dreaming about tomorrow
1411
01:21:14,329 --> 01:21:16,792
come to you after you found out
your wife was sick of you?
1412
01:21:18,119 --> 01:21:20,076
Bejees, you've hit it,
Larry.
1413
01:21:20,802 --> 01:21:23,239
I've noticed he hasn't shown
her picture around this time.
1414
01:21:23,979 --> 01:21:26,132
He hasn't got it!
The iceman took it away from him!
1415
01:21:26,818 --> 01:21:28,423
Jees, look at him!
Who could blame her?
1416
01:21:30,081 --> 01:21:31,855
She must be hard up
to fall for an iceman!
1417
01:21:32,392 --> 01:21:35,531
Imagine a sap like him
advisin' me and Chuck to get married.
1418
01:21:36,251 --> 01:21:37,618
Yeah, he done
so good with it.
1419
01:21:38,242 --> 01:21:40,979
At least I can say that Marjorie
chose an officer and a gentleman.
1420
01:21:42,787 --> 01:21:47,447
Come to look at you, Hickey, old chap, you've
sprouting horns like a bloody antelope!
1421
01:21:49,069 --> 01:21:52,488
Bigger, by God, like a water buffalo's!
1422
01:21:55,438 --> 01:22:00,187
* "Oh come up" she cried, * * "My iceman lad
* "And you and I'll agree *
1423
01:22:01,057 --> 01:22:06,308
* "And I'll show you the prettiest *
* "That ever you did see" *
1424
01:22:07,798 --> 01:22:11,263
Well, I'm glad to see you get in good spirits
for Harry's party, even if the joke is on me.
1425
01:22:12,753 --> 01:22:14,421
Well, I'll admit
I always asked for it in the old days
1426
01:22:15,036 --> 01:22:17,192
by pulling that iceman gag,
so, uh, laugh all you like.
1427
01:22:28,776 --> 01:22:31,330
Well, I guess this forces my hand,
by brining up the subject of Evelyn.
1428
01:22:32,842 --> 01:22:35,005
I had wanted to wait until
the party was over, But, uh,
1429
01:22:35,930 --> 01:22:38,877
you're getting the wrong idea about
poor Evelyn, and I've got to stop that.
1430
01:22:41,382 --> 01:22:44,361
I'm sorry to tell you that my
dearly beloved wife is dead.
1431
01:22:52,908 --> 01:22:54,303
Be God...
1432
01:22:56,156 --> 01:22:58,448
I felt he had
the touch of death on him.
1433
01:23:01,154 --> 01:23:02,840
Forgive me, Hickey...
1434
01:23:03,980 --> 01:23:06,308
I'd like to cut
my dirty tongue out.
1435
01:23:08,949 --> 01:23:12,797
Now, look everybody, you mustn't
let this be a wet blanket on Harry's birthday party.
1436
01:23:13,183 --> 01:23:14,514
You're still
getting me all wrong.
1437
01:23:14,990 --> 01:23:15,980
There's no reason...
1438
01:23:16,593 --> 01:23:17,818
You see,
I don't feel any grief.
1439
01:23:18,812 --> 01:23:24,959
I've got to feel glad, for her sake, because
she's at peace; she's rid of me at last.
1440
01:23:25,811 --> 01:23:28,799
And you can imagine what I was like being
married to a no-good drunken cheater like me.
1441
01:23:30,079 --> 01:23:33,628
And there was no way out of it for her,
because she loved me.
1442
01:23:35,315 --> 01:23:37,685
But now she is at peace,
like she always longed to be.
1443
01:23:38,681 --> 01:23:40,449
So why should I feel sad?
1444
01:23:41,288 --> 01:23:43,160
She wouldn't want me
to feel sad.
1445
01:23:44,083 --> 01:23:46,717
Why, all that Evelyn ever wanted out of life
was to make me happy.
1446
01:23:53,965 --> 01:23:56,568
THE MIDDLE OF THE MORNING
1447
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:08,658
Eh, nothin' now 'till
the noon rush from the market.
1448
01:24:10,931 --> 01:24:13,475
If I ain't a sap to let Chuck
kid me into workin' his time
1449
01:24:14,132 --> 01:24:15,893
so he can take
the morning off.
1450
01:24:16,403 --> 01:24:17,444
But I got sick
of arguing.
1451
01:24:17,988 --> 01:24:19,860
"All right, get
married! What's it to me?"
1452
01:24:25,421 --> 01:24:26,828
Some party
last night, eh?
1453
01:24:27,772 --> 01:24:32,803
It was jinxed from the start, but his tellin'
about his wife croakin' put de K.O. on it.
1454
01:24:34,252 --> 01:24:36,359
It was the birthday feast
that turned out to be a wake.
1455
01:24:38,026 --> 01:24:41,389
Him promisin' he'd cut out that
bughouse bull about peace.
1456
01:24:42,139 --> 01:24:44,928
And then he went on talkin' and
talkin' like he couldn't stop.
1457
01:24:47,146 --> 01:24:51,016
And the gang, sneakin' upstairs, leavin'
free booze and eats like they was poison.
1458
01:24:52,301 --> 01:24:54,957
He's been hoppin' from room
to room, all night.
1459
01:24:55,310 --> 01:24:57,728
He's got his Reform Wave
goin' strong this mornin'.
1460
01:24:59,108 --> 01:25:01,074
Did you notice him drag
Jimmy out the first thing
1461
01:25:01,611 --> 01:25:04,837
to get his laundry and his clothes pressed
so he wouldn't have no excuse?
1462
01:25:05,628 --> 01:25:08,321
And he give Willie the dough
to buy his stuff back from Solly's.
1463
01:25:09,365 --> 01:25:12,420
And all the rest have been brushin'
and shavin' themselves with the shakes.
1464
01:25:13,242 --> 01:25:14,442
He didn't come
to my room.
1465
01:25:15,674 --> 01:25:17,568
Afraid I might ask him
a few questions.
1466
01:25:18,098 --> 01:25:19,966
Yeah? I'd say you
was scared of him.
1467
01:25:20,671 --> 01:25:22,564
You'd lie then.
Don't let him kid you, Rocky.
1468
01:25:24,109 --> 01:25:25,799
He had his door locked,
I couldn't get in, either.
1469
01:25:26,741 --> 01:25:28,980
Yeah, who do you think
you're kiddin', Larry?
1470
01:25:29,637 --> 01:25:31,895
Like he says, if you
was so anxious to croak,
1471
01:25:32,529 --> 01:25:34,960
why wouldn't you hop off
your fire escape long ago?
1472
01:25:36,009 --> 01:25:38,078
Because it'd be a coward's
quitting, that's why.
1473
01:25:39,639 --> 01:25:41,001
He's all
quitter, Rocky.
1474
01:25:42,827 --> 01:25:45,499
He's a yellow
old faker.
1475
01:25:46,277 --> 01:25:48,033
You lying punk!
Yeah, keep out of this, you!
1476
01:25:49,004 --> 01:25:50,765
Shall I give him
the bum's rush, Larry?
1477
01:25:51,031 --> 01:25:52,763
You don't want him around,
nobody else don't.
1478
01:25:53,444 --> 01:25:56,193
No, let him stay,I don't mind.
He's nothing to me.
1479
01:25:57,076 --> 01:25:58,254
You're right.
1480
01:26:00,477 --> 01:26:03,269
I have nowhere I can go now, you're the
only one in the world I can turn to.
1481
01:26:05,325 --> 01:26:07,189
Eh, you're a soft
old sap, Larry.
1482
01:26:07,830 --> 01:26:09,443
He's a no-good
louse like Hickey.
1483
01:26:09,945 --> 01:26:11,247
He don't belong!
1484
01:26:11,992 --> 01:26:14,033
I'm all in,
not a wink of sleep.
1485
01:26:30,305 --> 01:26:31,721
Larry, I'm sorry
for ridin' you.
1486
01:26:33,066 --> 01:26:35,312
But you get my goat when you act as if
you didn't care a damn what happened to me.
1487
01:26:36,128 --> 01:26:38,008
And you keep your door locked
so I can't talk to you.
1488
01:26:40,334 --> 01:26:41,890
But that was to keep
Hickey out, wasn't it?
1489
01:26:43,106 --> 01:26:44,970
I don't blame you, I'm getting
more and more to hate him.
1490
01:26:45,682 --> 01:26:47,185
More and more
scared of him.
1491
01:26:48,076 --> 01:26:50,400
Especially since he told us
about his wife being dead.
1492
01:26:53,326 --> 01:26:55,714
It's that queer feeling he gives me
that I'm mixed up with him in some way.
1493
01:26:56,258 --> 01:26:57,893
I don't know why, but it started
me thinking about mother.
1494
01:27:00,287 --> 01:27:02,041
As if she
was dead.
1495
01:27:04,755 --> 01:27:06,460
I suppose she
might as well be.
1496
01:27:10,549 --> 01:27:12,309
It must kill her when
she thinks of me.
1497
01:27:13,384 --> 01:27:16,567
I know she doesn't want to,
but... she can't help it.
1498
01:27:19,940 --> 01:27:21,815
After all,
I'm her only kid.
1499
01:27:24,544 --> 01:27:26,108
You know, Larry...
1500
01:27:28,629 --> 01:27:32,175
I once had a sneaking suspicion that,
if the truth were known, you were my father.
1501
01:27:33,172 --> 01:27:34,655
You damned fool!
1502
01:27:35,220 --> 01:27:36,994
Who put that insane
idea in your head?
1503
01:27:39,535 --> 01:27:41,373
Anyone in the coast crowd
could tell I never laid eyes
1504
01:27:41,917 --> 01:27:43,653
on your mother 'till
after you were born.
1505
01:27:45,509 --> 01:27:47,157
Well, I'd hardly
ask them, would I?
1506
01:27:51,556 --> 01:27:54,813
I know you're right,
though, because I asked her.
1507
01:27:57,961 --> 01:28:00,300
She brought me up to be frank
and ask her anything.
1508
01:28:03,386 --> 01:28:06,103
I was talking about how
she must feel now about me.
1509
01:28:06,251 --> 01:28:08,287
My getting through with the Movement.
1510
01:28:08,487 --> 01:28:10,524
Oh, she'll never forgive me for that.
1511
01:28:13,305 --> 01:28:15,157
That must be the final knockout,
if she knows that I was the one who sold out...
1512
01:28:15,394 --> 01:28:16,528
Shut up, damn you!
Shut up.
1513
01:28:17,072 --> 01:28:19,559
It'll kill her!
But Larry...
1514
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:23,633
I never thought that they
would have caught her!
1515
01:28:25,848 --> 01:28:27,107
Shut up!What the hell is it to me?
1516
01:28:28,212 --> 01:28:29,483
What's comin' off here?
Nothing.
1517
01:28:30,107 --> 01:28:31,372
This young punk
is talking my ear off.
1518
01:28:31,858 --> 01:28:33,327
He's a worse pest
than Hickey.
1519
01:28:33,786 --> 01:28:34,986
Oh, yeah, Hickey.
1520
01:28:35,891 --> 01:28:38,787
Say, listen, what do you
mean about him being scared
1521
01:28:39,339 --> 01:28:41,075
you'd ask him questions?
What questions?
1522
01:28:41,819 --> 01:28:44,346
What questions? Well, you noticed he
didn't tell us what his wife died of.
1523
01:28:45,011 --> 01:28:46,697
Oh, lay off of that,
the poor guy!
1524
01:28:47,978 --> 01:28:49,415
What are you
gettin' at, anyway?
1525
01:28:49,910 --> 01:28:52,863
You don't think it's just a gag of his?
No, no I don't.
1526
01:28:53,763 --> 01:28:55,367
I'm damned sure he brought
death here with him,
1527
01:28:55,943 --> 01:28:58,096
I can smell the cold touch of it upon him.
Oh, bunk.
1528
01:28:59,311 --> 01:29:01,397
You got croakin' on
the brain, Old Cemetery.
1529
01:29:02,318 --> 01:29:05,493
Say, do you mean you think
she committed suicide
1530
01:29:06,123 --> 01:29:07,703
on account of his
cheatin' or something?
1531
01:29:08,281 --> 01:29:09,997
It wouldn't surprise me.
But that's crazy.
1532
01:29:10,703 --> 01:29:13,002
Jees, if she'd done that, he wouldn't tell us
he was glad about it, would he?
1533
01:29:13,659 --> 01:29:15,828
You know her better than that, Larry.
You know she'd never commit suicide.
1534
01:29:16,824 --> 01:29:18,737
She's like you, she'll hang on to life even
when there's nothing... And what about you?
1535
01:29:19,348 --> 01:29:21,171
Be God, if you had
any guts or decency!
1536
01:29:21,965 --> 01:29:24,963
I'd take that hop off the fire escape
you're too yellow to take, I suppose, ah? No!
1537
01:29:25,686 --> 01:29:27,589
I'm done with...
Yeah, I suppose you'd like that!
1538
01:29:28,149 --> 01:29:29,227
What the hell's
all this about?
1539
01:29:29,745 --> 01:29:31,041
What do you know
about Hickey's wife?
1540
01:29:31,569 --> 01:29:32,952
How do you know she didn't...?
He doesn't!
1541
01:29:33,803 --> 01:29:35,433
Hickey's addled
the little brains he's got.
1542
01:29:35,670 --> 01:29:37,342
Shove him back to his table, Rocky.
I'm sick of him.
1543
01:29:38,135 --> 01:29:39,720
You heard Larry!
So move, quick.
1544
01:29:44,774 --> 01:29:47,587
Gee, Larry... that's
a hell of a way to treat me
1545
01:29:48,221 --> 01:29:51,023
after I've trusted you,
and I need your help.
1546
01:29:58,068 --> 01:30:03,512
Jees... if she committed suicide,
you gotta feel sorry for Hickey, huh?
1547
01:30:04,475 --> 01:30:06,650
You can understand how
he'd go bughouse, and not be
1548
01:30:07,347 --> 01:30:09,739
responsible for all the crazy
stunts he's stagin' here.
1549
01:30:11,027 --> 01:30:16,251
But how can you be sorry for him when he says
he's glad she croaked? Oh, nuts!
1550
01:30:17,599 --> 01:30:19,730
I don't get nowhere
tryin' to figure his game.
1551
01:30:20,409 --> 01:30:24,029
He better
lay off of me and my stable.
1552
01:30:29,021 --> 01:30:31,720
Hey, Rocky, Cora wants
a sherry flip, for her nerves.
1553
01:30:32,352 --> 01:30:33,477
"Sherry flip?"
1554
01:30:34,192 --> 01:30:35,780
Christ, she don't need nothin'
for her nerve.
1555
01:30:36,419 --> 01:30:38,160
What's she think this is, the Waldorf?
Yeah, I told her.
1556
01:30:38,637 --> 01:30:39,645
"What would we use for sherry?"
1557
01:30:39,845 --> 01:30:41,275
And there wasn't no egg unless she laid one.
1558
01:30:41,956 --> 01:30:44,029
She says, "Is there a law you can't go out"
"and buy the makings, you big tramp?"
1559
01:30:46,403 --> 01:30:49,287
Ah, the hell with her!
She'll drink booze or nothin'. Oh, jees!
1560
01:30:50,017 --> 01:30:53,768
A guy oughta give his bride anything she
wants on her weddin' day, I should think.
1561
01:30:54,619 --> 01:30:57,699
Pipe the bridegroom, Larry!
All dolled up for the killin'. Aw, shut up.
1562
01:30:58,807 --> 01:31:01,531
One week on that farm in Jersey,
that's what I'll give you.
1563
01:31:02,216 --> 01:31:03,990
And you'll come runnin'
in here some night yellin'
1564
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:07,236
for a shot of booze because
the crickets is after you.
1565
01:31:08,119 --> 01:31:10,227
Oh, jees, Chuck, that
louse Hickey's certainly
1566
01:31:10,762 --> 01:31:12,893
made a prize couple
of suckers outta you.
1567
01:31:14,645 --> 01:31:17,123
I'd like to get a quart
of that redeye under my belt!
1568
01:31:17,874 --> 01:31:19,117
Well, why the hell
don't you?
1569
01:31:20,576 --> 01:31:23,290
Sure, you'd like that,
wouldn'tyou? I'm wise to you.
1570
01:31:24,050 --> 01:31:26,643
You don't wanna see me get married
and settle down, like a regular guy.
1571
01:31:27,250 --> 01:31:30,652
You'd like me to stay paralyzed all the time,
so I'd be like you, a lousy pimp!
1572
01:31:31,432 --> 01:31:33,268
Listen! I don't take that
even from you, see?
1573
01:31:33,493 --> 01:31:35,844
Yeah? You wanna make somethin' of it?
Don't make me laugh!
1574
01:31:36,044 --> 01:31:37,611
I can lick ten of you with one mitt!
1575
01:31:38,829 --> 01:31:40,111
Not with lead in
your belly, you won't!
1576
01:31:40,648 --> 01:31:42,225
Hey you, Rocky
and Chuck, cut it out!
1577
01:31:43,165 --> 01:31:44,875
Don't let that Hickey
make you crazy.
1578
01:31:45,375 --> 01:31:47,637
Keep out of our business, you black bastard.
Stay where you belong, you dirty nigger!
1579
01:31:48,182 --> 01:31:49,852
You white sons of bitches!
I'll rip your guts out!
1580
01:31:50,838 --> 01:31:52,500
That's it! Murder each
other, you damned loons!
1581
01:31:52,961 --> 01:31:54,426
With Hickey's
blessing!
1582
01:31:54,831 --> 01:31:56,355
Didn't I tell you he
brought death with him?
1583
01:31:57,757 --> 01:32:02,200
All right, you... let go of that shiv,
and I'll put this gun away.
1584
01:32:13,273 --> 01:32:16,204
Hello, little people!
Never mind.
1585
01:32:17,515 --> 01:32:24,234
Soon you will eat hot dogs beneath the
willow trees, and drink free wine!
1586
01:32:26,746 --> 01:32:29,547
The champagne
was not properly iced.
1587
01:32:30,701 --> 01:32:32,203
Goddamned liar,
Hickey!
1588
01:32:32,714 --> 01:32:34,625
Does that prove
I want to be aristocrat?
1589
01:32:35,946 --> 01:32:37,547
I love only
the proletariat!
1590
01:32:38,717 --> 01:32:42,780
I will lead them! I will
be like a God to them!
1591
01:32:44,368 --> 01:32:45,415
They will be
my slaves!
1592
01:32:56,755 --> 01:32:58,032
I'm very drunk,
no, Larry?
1593
01:32:58,784 --> 01:33:00,032
I talk foolishness.
1594
01:33:00,792 --> 01:33:02,797
I am so drunk, Larry,
old friend, am I not?
1595
01:33:03,397 --> 01:33:04,671
I don't know
what I say.
1596
01:33:05,367 --> 01:33:07,089
I've never seen you
so paralyzed.
1597
01:33:08,656 --> 01:33:10,245
Now lay your head on
the table and sleep it off.
1598
01:33:11,552 --> 01:33:16,190
Yeah, I should sleep...
I'm too crazy drunk.
1599
01:33:18,724 --> 01:33:21,639
The bread's cut, and
I have finished my job.
1600
01:33:23,578 --> 01:33:25,288
Now, do I get
the drink I earned?
1601
01:33:28,593 --> 01:33:29,860
Here's the key
to my room.
1602
01:33:31,562 --> 01:33:33,116
I ain't
comin' back!
1603
01:33:33,595 --> 01:33:35,359
I'm goin' to my own
folks where I belong.
1604
01:33:36,057 --> 01:33:38,205
I'm sick and tired of messin'
around with white men.
1605
01:33:41,205 --> 01:33:42,253
What the hell?
1606
01:33:42,837 --> 01:33:44,253
I'm only savin' you
the trouble, white boy!
1607
01:33:45,071 --> 01:33:47,411
Now you don't have to break it
as soon's my back's turned,
1608
01:33:48,035 --> 01:33:50,587
so there's no white man can kick about
drinkin' from the same glass!
1609
01:33:52,233 --> 01:33:55,416
I'm tired of loafin' around
with a lot of bums.
1610
01:33:56,516 --> 01:33:57,879
I'm a gamblin' man.
1611
01:33:58,471 --> 01:34:01,534
I'm gonna get in a big crap game
and win me a big bankroll.
1612
01:34:02,271 --> 01:34:06,168
And then I'll get the okay to open up
my old gamblin' house for colored men.
1613
01:34:07,112 --> 01:34:10,945
And then maybe I comes back here
sometimes to see the bums.
1614
01:34:11,813 --> 01:34:17,645
And maybe I throws a $20 bill down on the
bar and says: "Drink it up," and listen when
1615
01:34:18,300 --> 01:34:22,150
they all pat me on the back and say:
"Joe, you sure is white," but I'll say:
1616
01:34:22,719 --> 01:34:25,392
"No, I'm black and
my dough is black man's dough!"
1617
01:34:25,996 --> 01:34:28,428
"And you's proud to drink with
me or you don't get no drink!"
1618
01:34:29,535 --> 01:34:32,014
"You can all go to hell!"
1619
01:34:36,111 --> 01:34:38,381
"I don't lower myself
drinkin' with no white trash."
1620
01:34:41,198 --> 01:34:42,729
And that ain't
no pipe dream.
1621
01:34:43,468 --> 01:34:45,842
I'll get the money for my stake
today, somewhere, somehow.
1622
01:34:46,894 --> 01:34:49,862
If I have to borrow a gun and stick up
some white man, I gets it!
1623
01:34:55,466 --> 01:34:57,330
You wait and see.
1624
01:35:04,292 --> 01:35:05,992
Can you beat the nerve
of that "dinge."
1625
01:35:07,465 --> 01:35:10,696
Jees, if I wasn't dressed up I'd go out and
mop up the street with him. Oh, let him go.
1626
01:35:11,480 --> 01:35:14,437
The poor old dope, him
and his gamblin' house.
1627
01:35:15,263 --> 01:35:19,446
He'll be back tonight askin'
Harry for his room and bummin' me for a ball.
1628
01:35:20,246 --> 01:35:22,092
Then I'll be the one
to smash the glass.
1629
01:35:22,795 --> 01:35:24,206
I'll loin him
his place.
1630
01:35:25,113 --> 01:35:26,254
Another guy
all dolled up.
1631
01:35:30,142 --> 01:35:31,761
Got your clothes
from Solly's, huh, Willie?
1632
01:35:32,435 --> 01:35:34,164
Now you can sell it back
to him again tomorrow.
1633
01:35:34,792 --> 01:35:36,729
No, I-I'm through
with that stuff.
1634
01:35:37,506 --> 01:35:39,283
You look sick, Willie; here,
take a ball, will pick you up.
1635
01:35:40,739 --> 01:35:42,883
Eh, no thanks, the only way
to stop is to stop.
1636
01:35:44,072 --> 01:35:45,543
I'd have no chance if I
went to the D.A.'s office
1637
01:35:46,126 --> 01:35:47,948
smelling of booze.
You're really goin' there?
1638
01:35:48,582 --> 01:35:49,814
I said I was,
didn't I?
1639
01:35:50,657 --> 01:35:53,035
I just came back here
to rest for a few minutes.
1640
01:35:54,506 --> 01:35:56,059
I'll show
that cheap drummer!
1641
01:35:56,715 --> 01:35:58,442
I don't need to have to have
any Dutch courage.
1642
01:36:01,213 --> 01:36:05,883
But he's, he's been very kind
and generous staking me.
1643
01:36:08,332 --> 01:36:10,800
You know, my, my
legs are a bit shaky.
1644
01:36:12,024 --> 01:36:13,942
I better sit down
a while.
1645
01:36:27,859 --> 01:36:29,400
Here's another one.
1646
01:36:30,183 --> 01:36:31,997
Hey, good morning,
gentlemen all.
1647
01:36:40,602 --> 01:36:42,309
And a jolly good
morning it is, too.
1648
01:36:44,810 --> 01:36:49,607
An eye-opener? I think not,
Rocky, old chum... not required, you know?
1649
01:36:50,798 --> 01:36:52,451
Feel extremely fit,
as a matter of fact.
1650
01:36:53,731 --> 01:36:56,831
Can't say that I slept much, though,
thanks to that interfering ass, Hickey,
1651
01:36:57,714 --> 01:37:00,073
and that stupid
bounder of a Boer.
1652
01:37:00,829 --> 01:37:02,753
I've had about all I can
take from that fellow.
1653
01:37:03,344 --> 01:37:05,236
Oh, well, it's my own
fault, I suppose, for allowing
1654
01:37:05,780 --> 01:37:07,983
a brute of a Dutch farmer
to become familiar.
1655
01:37:09,815 --> 01:37:11,548
Well, it's come
to a parting of the ways.
1656
01:37:12,687 --> 01:37:14,284
And jolly
good riddance.
1657
01:37:14,873 --> 01:37:17,829
Oh, that reminds me...
here's my key.
1658
01:37:18,950 --> 01:37:20,728
I shan't be coming back.
1659
01:37:23,441 --> 01:37:26,064
Sorry to be leaving good old
Harry and the rest of you,
1660
01:37:26,804 --> 01:37:30,230
of course, but I simply cannot continue to
live under the same roof with that fellow.
1661
01:37:30,926 --> 01:37:32,895
So Hickey's kidded the pants
off of you, too?
1662
01:37:33,462 --> 01:37:35,078
You think you're
leavin' here, huh?
1663
01:37:35,801 --> 01:37:38,212
Ja! That's what
he kids himself.
1664
01:37:40,734 --> 01:37:42,184
Yes, I'm leaving,
Rocky.
1665
01:37:42,922 --> 01:37:44,898
Not that that ass, Hickey,
has anything to do with it.
1666
01:37:45,632 --> 01:37:47,036
But been thinking
this over, you know?
1667
01:37:47,530 --> 01:37:48,963
Time I turned over
a new leaf.
1668
01:37:49,516 --> 01:37:51,428
He's gonna get a job,
that's what he says.
1669
01:37:52,132 --> 01:37:53,511
What at,
for Christ's sake?
1670
01:37:53,999 --> 01:37:56,291
Oh, anything... not manual
labor, of course.
1671
01:37:57,390 --> 01:37:59,663
Anything that calls for a bit
of brains and education.
1672
01:38:01,078 --> 01:38:02,382
I'll see a pal of mine
at the Consulate.
1673
01:38:02,900 --> 01:38:06,324
He promised me whenever I felt an energetic
fit he'd get me a post with the Cunard.
1674
01:38:07,512 --> 01:38:09,781
Clark, in the office,
something of that kind.
1675
01:38:10,389 --> 01:38:15,440
Ja! At Limey Consulate they promise anything
to get rid of him when he comes there drunk.
1676
01:38:16,899 --> 01:38:19,641
They're scared to call the
police and have him pinched,
1677
01:38:20,091 --> 01:38:23,850
because it would scandal in the papers make
about a Limey officer and gentleman.
1678
01:38:27,154 --> 01:38:28,838
I only need the post
temporarily, Rocky.
1679
01:38:29,601 --> 01:38:31,263
Means to an end,
you know.
1680
01:38:31,731 --> 01:38:33,180
Save enough for
a passage...
1681
01:38:33,820 --> 01:38:36,204
a first-class passage home,
that's the bright idea.
1682
01:38:38,113 --> 01:38:40,883
He's sailing back
to home, sweet home!
1683
01:38:41,540 --> 01:38:43,741
That's biggest pipe
dream of all!
1684
01:38:45,623 --> 01:38:47,631
What little brain
the poor Limey has left
1685
01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:51,372
that isn't in whiskey pickled,
Hickey has made crazy!
1686
01:38:52,208 --> 01:38:54,028
Hickey ain't made
no sucker out of you, eh?
1687
01:38:55,323 --> 01:38:59,310
That longshoreman boss, Dan, he tell me
any time I like, he'd take me on.
1688
01:39:00,964 --> 01:39:03,078
And Benny, from de Market,
he promise me same!
1689
01:39:03,903 --> 01:39:06,156
You remember, Rocky, it was
one of those rare occasions
1690
01:39:06,974 --> 01:39:11,210
when the Boer that walks like a man,
spelled with a double "O", by the way,
1691
01:39:11,948 --> 01:39:14,149
was buying drinks when Dan
and Benny were stony.
1692
01:39:15,115 --> 01:39:16,969
They'd have promised
him the bloody moon!
1693
01:39:17,884 --> 01:39:19,125
Yeah, yuh big boob.
1694
01:39:19,772 --> 01:39:21,143
Them birds was only
kiddin' you.
1695
01:39:21,561 --> 01:39:23,910
That's lie! You will see,
this morning I get job.
1696
01:39:24,663 --> 01:39:28,689
I'll show that... bloody Limey gentleman,
and that liar, Hickey!
1697
01:39:29,823 --> 01:39:33,758
And I need work only little while
to save money for my passage home.
1698
01:39:34,715 --> 01:39:39,271
I need not much money because I am
not ashamed to travel steerage.
1699
01:39:40,116 --> 01:39:43,468
I don't put on
first-cabin airs!
1700
01:39:44,883 --> 01:39:47,510
And I can go home
to my country!
1701
01:39:48,185 --> 01:39:51,530
When I get there, they
will let me in! Heh!
1702
01:39:53,038 --> 01:39:57,388
There was a rumor in South Africa
that a certain Boer officer, if you can call
1703
01:39:58,108 --> 01:40:00,178
the leaders of a rabble of Dutch
farmers officers,
1704
01:40:01,319 --> 01:40:05,250
he kept advising Cronje to retreat,
and to not stand and fight.
1705
01:40:05,409 --> 01:40:07,059
And I was right!
I was right!
1706
01:40:07,700 --> 01:40:09,222
He got surrounded
at Poardeberg!
1707
01:40:10,397 --> 01:40:11,750
He had to surrender.
1708
01:40:12,309 --> 01:40:18,970
Good strategy, no doubt, but a suspicion grew
afterwards into a conviction among the Boers
1709
01:40:19,655 --> 01:40:23,780
that the officer's caution was prompted
by a desire for his personal escape.
1710
01:40:25,431 --> 01:40:30,019
His countrymen were extremely savage
about it, and his family disowned him.
1711
01:40:31,051 --> 01:40:35,640
So I imagine there won't be
any welcoming committee waiting on the dock...
1712
01:40:36,818 --> 01:40:37,898
nor any
delighted relatives
1713
01:40:38,650 --> 01:40:43,221
making the "veldt" ring with their happy
cries of "Welcome home, Gen. Wet..."
1714
01:40:44,053 --> 01:40:45,600
All lies!
You Goddamned Limey!
1715
01:40:50,162 --> 01:40:54,706
I also have heard rumors of a Limey officer
who after the war lost all his money
1716
01:40:55,305 --> 01:40:58,035
gambling when he
was drunk.
1717
01:40:58,911 --> 01:41:02,189
But they found out it was
regiment money, too, he lost!
1718
01:41:02,801 --> 01:41:04,136
Ah, you bloody
Dutch scum!
1719
01:41:04,768 --> 01:41:06,073
Cut it out!
Let him come!
1720
01:41:06,546 --> 01:41:09,439
I saw them come before!
Modder River, Magersfontein,
1721
01:41:10,223 --> 01:41:17,259
Spion Kopje, waving their silly swords, so
afraid they couldn't show how brave they was!
1722
01:41:18,156 --> 01:41:20,846
And I kill them with
my rifle so easy!
1723
01:41:21,705 --> 01:41:23,833
Listen to me,
you Cecil!
1724
01:41:24,492 --> 01:41:27,377
Often when I'm drunk
and kidding you I say I'm sorry
1725
01:41:27,879 --> 01:41:31,688
I missed you, but now,
by God, I am sober!
1726
01:41:32,568 --> 01:41:34,623
- And I don't joke, and I say it!
- Be God!
1727
01:41:35,190 --> 01:41:36,479
You can't say Hickey hasn't got
the miraculous touch to raise
1728
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:38,980
the dead, when he can start
the Boer War raging again!
1729
01:41:42,286 --> 01:41:45,327
Well... it's time
I was on my merry way.
1730
01:41:46,900 --> 01:41:48,713
The early bird catches
the job, what?
1731
01:41:49,499 --> 01:41:52,602
Good-bye and good luck,
Rocky, and the rest of you.
1732
01:41:57,983 --> 01:42:02,154
By God, if that Limey
can go... I can go.
1733
01:42:11,903 --> 01:42:13,112
Well, why don't
you beat it?
1734
01:42:14,034 --> 01:42:16,204
Eh? Oh... just
been thinking.
1735
01:42:17,445 --> 01:42:20,311
Hardly the decent thing to push off without
saying good-bye to old Harry.
1736
01:42:21,765 --> 01:42:23,899
One of the best, old Harry,
and good old Jimmy.
1737
01:42:24,854 --> 01:42:26,367
They ought to be
down very soon.
1738
01:42:27,543 --> 01:42:28,953
Oh, I'm sorry.
1739
01:42:29,572 --> 01:42:31,341
I seem to be
blocking your way out.
1740
01:42:33,545 --> 01:42:38,663
No... I will wait to say
good-bye to Harry, too.
1741
01:42:41,228 --> 01:42:43,515
Jees, can you beat
them simps!
1742
01:42:44,421 --> 01:42:46,212
Oh, hell, I forgot Cora!
She'll be throwin' a fit!
1743
01:42:46,892 --> 01:42:49,543
That's right, wait on her
and spoil her, you poor sap!
1744
01:42:53,082 --> 01:42:54,999
Psst! Look here,
Parritt.
1745
01:42:55,594 --> 01:42:57,008
I'd like to have
a talk with you.
1746
01:42:57,711 --> 01:42:59,339
About what?
About the trouble you're in.
1747
01:42:59,914 --> 01:43:01,667
Oh, I know, I know,
you don't admit it.
1748
01:43:02,147 --> 01:43:03,571
And you're quite right,
that's my advice.
1749
01:43:04,443 --> 01:43:06,206
Deny everything, Say,
what the hell are you accusing me of?
1750
01:43:06,763 --> 01:43:09,571
Make no statements whatever without consulting
your attorney, keep your mouth shut.
1751
01:43:10,365 --> 01:43:11,638
Look, you can trust me,
I'm a lawyer.
1752
01:43:12,324 --> 01:43:15,285
And it's occurred to me that
you and I ought to co-operate.
1753
01:43:16,989 --> 01:43:18,556
You're crazy, what do I
want with a lawyer?
1754
01:43:19,789 --> 01:43:21,437
Yeah, that's right,
don't admit anything.
1755
01:43:22,436 --> 01:43:25,116
But you can trust me, so let's
not beat about the bush.
1756
01:43:27,236 --> 01:43:28,685
You got in trouble
out on the coast, eh?
1757
01:43:29,325 --> 01:43:30,852
Now you're in hiding,
any fool can spot that.
1758
01:43:32,742 --> 01:43:35,236
You... feel safe here, and
maybe you are for a while.
1759
01:43:35,844 --> 01:43:37,260
But remember, they
get you in the end.
1760
01:43:37,885 --> 01:43:39,341
I know, from my
father's experience.
1761
01:43:39,981 --> 01:43:41,581
Nobody could have felt
safer than he did.
1762
01:43:42,156 --> 01:43:44,332
When anybody mentioned the law
to him, he nearly died laughing.
1763
01:43:45,573 --> 01:43:47,033
But...
You crazy mutt!
1764
01:43:48,315 --> 01:43:49,939
You hear that, Larry?
1765
01:43:50,617 --> 01:43:52,473
This damned fool here thinks
the cops are after me!
1766
01:43:53,930 --> 01:43:55,416
I wish to God
they were.
1767
01:43:56,038 --> 01:43:58,769
And so should you, if you
had the honor of a louse!
1768
01:44:00,545 --> 01:44:01,993
Oh, and you're the guy
who kids himself he's through
1769
01:44:02,620 --> 01:44:03,953
with the Movement; you're
still in love with it!
1770
01:44:04,408 --> 01:44:06,949
You mean you're not in trouble, Parritt?
I was hoping...Eh, never mind.
1771
01:44:07,183 --> 01:44:09,450
No, no offense
meant... Parritt.
1772
01:44:10,201 --> 01:44:12,929
That's all right, Willie...
I'm not sore at you.
1773
01:44:13,616 --> 01:44:15,377
It's that damned yellow
faker that gets in my goat.
1774
01:44:28,626 --> 01:44:29,729
I think I
understand, Larry.
1775
01:44:30,371 --> 01:44:32,666
It's really mother that
you still love... isn't it?
1776
01:44:35,514 --> 01:44:37,298
In spite of that dirty
deal she gave you.
1777
01:44:39,620 --> 01:44:40,742
But what the hell
did you expect?
1778
01:44:41,234 --> 01:44:42,969
She was never true to anyone
but herself and the Movement.
1779
01:44:45,905 --> 01:44:48,482
But Larry, I can, I can understand
how you still can't help feeling.
1780
01:44:51,858 --> 01:44:53,277
See, because I still
love her too.
1781
01:44:54,873 --> 01:44:57,125
So you see, I couldn't have
expected that they'd catch her, Larry.
1782
01:44:57,657 --> 01:44:59,559
You gotta believe me that I
only sold them out just to get
1783
01:44:59,610 --> 01:45:01,330
a few lousy dollars
to blow in on a whore.
1784
01:45:01,954 --> 01:45:03,140
Now there's no other reason, honest!
1785
01:45:03,340 --> 01:45:05,021
For the love of Christ,
will you leave me in peace!
1786
01:45:06,162 --> 01:45:08,692
If you don't keep still, you'll
be saying something soon
1787
01:45:09,285 --> 01:45:13,331
that will make you vomit your own soul like a
drink of nickel rotgut that won't stay down!
1788
01:45:14,381 --> 01:45:15,675
Larry, don't go!
You've got to help me!
1789
01:45:16,228 --> 01:45:17,652
Set 'em up, Rocky! I swore
I'd have no more drinks
1790
01:45:18,198 --> 01:45:19,572
on Hickey, if I died of drought,
but I've changed my mind!
1791
01:45:20,908 --> 01:45:22,475
Be God, he
owed it to me!
1792
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:32,860
I'd be blind to the world now, if it was
the Iceman of Death himself treating.
1793
01:45:37,086 --> 01:45:38,684
What made me say
that, I wonder.
1794
01:45:39,883 --> 01:45:44,506
Oh, my God, it fits, for Death was
the iceman that Hickey called to his home.
1795
01:45:45,290 --> 01:45:46,626
Oh, forget
the iceman gag!
1796
01:45:47,659 --> 01:45:49,659
Come and sit
here, Mac.
1797
01:45:50,490 --> 01:45:51,761
You're just the man
I wanna see.
1798
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:56,093
If I'm to take your case, we ought to have a
talk before we leave. There'll be no talk.
1799
01:45:56,958 --> 01:46:00,342
You damned fool, do you think I'd have
your father's son for my lawyer?
1800
01:46:01,482 --> 01:46:04,359
They'd take one look at you
and bounce us both out on our necks.
1801
01:46:05,088 --> 01:46:06,581
Hmm!
I don't need a lawyer, anyway.
1802
01:46:07,160 --> 01:46:09,095
Hell with the law!
1803
01:46:09,326 --> 01:46:12,900
All I've got to do is see the right ones,
get them to pass the word.
1804
01:46:13,915 --> 01:46:16,616
They will, too,
they know I was framed.
1805
01:46:17,969 --> 01:46:22,229
And once the word is passed,
it's as good as done, law or no law!
1806
01:46:25,167 --> 01:46:26,803
Here's my key,
Rocky.
1807
01:46:27,916 --> 01:46:29,340
I'd rather sleep
in the gutter than spend
1808
01:46:29,865 --> 01:46:32,289
another night under the same
roof as that drummer.
1809
01:46:32,961 --> 01:46:35,260
Son of a drummer!
Well, you birds give me a pain.
1810
01:46:46,530 --> 01:46:48,835
Well, here we are, we got
this far at least.
1811
01:46:50,209 --> 01:46:51,346
Good work, Jimmy.
1812
01:46:51,884 --> 01:46:53,483
I told you you weren't half as
sick as you're pretending to be.
1813
01:46:54,058 --> 01:46:55,426
No excuse whatever
for postponing now.
1814
01:46:56,523 --> 01:46:58,290
Kindly keep your hands
to yourself.
1815
01:46:59,387 --> 01:47:01,443
I merely mentioned
I would feel more fit tomorrow.
1816
01:47:02,561 --> 01:47:06,131
But... it might as well
be today, I suppose.
1817
01:47:07,071 --> 01:47:09,119
Finish it now so it'll be dead
forever, and you'll be free.
1818
01:47:09,971 --> 01:47:11,047
Well, cheer up,
Harry.
1819
01:47:11,630 --> 01:47:13,558
You noticed your rheumatism didn't bother you
coming down the stairs, didn't you?
1820
01:47:14,223 --> 01:47:15,793
You're the damnedest
one for alibis, Governor.
1821
01:47:16,440 --> 01:47:17,883
I can't hear you...
You're a liar!
1822
01:47:18,500 --> 01:47:20,468
I've had rheumatism
on and off for 20 years.
1823
01:47:21,164 --> 01:47:24,314
Ever since Bessie died. Yes, we all know it's
the kind of rheumatism you turn on and off.
1824
01:47:24,980 --> 01:47:26,684
We're on to you,
you old faker!
1825
01:47:27,613 --> 01:47:30,182
Bejees, what are all you bums
hanging round staring at me for?
1826
01:47:31,241 --> 01:47:32,595
Why don't you get
the hell out of here
1827
01:47:33,083 --> 01:47:34,749
and 'tend to your own business,
like Hickey's told you?
1828
01:47:35,414 --> 01:47:37,074
Yes, Harry, I certainly
thought they would have
1829
01:47:37,545 --> 01:47:38,945
had the guts to have
been gone by this time.
1830
01:47:40,243 --> 01:47:41,990
Or maybe I did
have my doubts.
1831
01:47:42,598 --> 01:47:44,427
Because I know exactly
what you're up against, boys.
1832
01:47:45,066 --> 01:47:46,679
I know you'll turn into such
a coward that you'll grab
1833
01:47:47,150 --> 01:47:49,192
at any lousy excuse not
to kill your pipe dreams.
1834
01:47:49,812 --> 01:47:51,355
And yet, as I've said
over and over again,
1835
01:47:51,897 --> 01:47:53,296
it's exactly those damned
lying tomorrow dreams
1836
01:47:53,968 --> 01:47:55,627
that keep you from
making peace with yourself.
1837
01:47:56,359 --> 01:47:57,823
So you've got to kill them,
like I did mine.
1838
01:47:59,967 --> 01:48:01,332
Well, come on,
boys, get moving!
1839
01:48:02,766 --> 01:48:04,603
Who's going to start
the ball rolling?
1840
01:48:07,766 --> 01:48:08,839
Well you, captain,
and you, general.
1841
01:48:09,311 --> 01:48:10,580
You're nearest
to the door.
1842
01:48:11,028 --> 01:48:13,891
And besides, you're old war heroes.
You ought to lead this forlorn hope.
1843
01:48:14,386 --> 01:48:15,521
Well, come on, now!
1844
01:48:15,697 --> 01:48:18,264
And show us a little of that old Battle of
The Modder River spirit we've heard so much about.
1845
01:48:18,397 --> 01:48:20,977
You can't hang around here all day looking like
you were scared the street outside would bite you.
1846
01:48:31,386 --> 01:48:33,996
By God, if that
Limey can, I can.
1847
01:48:43,261 --> 01:48:44,604
Well, next?
1848
01:48:45,837 --> 01:48:47,270
Come on, Mac.
1849
01:48:47,854 --> 01:48:49,157
It's a fine
summer's day.
1850
01:49:01,607 --> 01:49:03,178
That's the stuff,
Mac.
1851
01:49:10,569 --> 01:49:13,023
Good-bye, Harry, thanks
for all your kindness.
1852
01:49:16,005 --> 01:49:17,568
That's
the way, Willie.
1853
01:49:18,402 --> 01:49:19,991
Oh, the D.A.'s
a busy man, Willie.
1854
01:49:20,776 --> 01:49:24,081
You can't keep him waiting
all day, you know.
1855
01:49:26,236 --> 01:49:28,153
Good luck,
Willie.
1856
01:49:35,427 --> 01:49:37,169
Now it's your turn,
Jimmy, old pal.
1857
01:49:40,392 --> 01:49:42,296
Jimmy.
1858
01:50:01,452 --> 01:50:02,943
You can't do that to yourself,
Jimmy, old pal!
1859
01:50:03,554 --> 01:50:06,141
One drink on top of your hangover
on an empty stomach, you'll be oreyeyed.
1860
01:50:08,217 --> 01:50:10,556
Tomorrow... I'll be
in good shape tomorrow!
1861
01:50:13,740 --> 01:50:16,780
All right,
I'm going.
1862
01:50:18,213 --> 01:50:20,211
Take your hands
off me!
1863
01:50:26,375 --> 01:50:28,410
Dirty swine!
1864
01:50:30,979 --> 01:50:32,967
All set for
an alcohol rub!
1865
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:39,126
I... no hard feelings,
I know how he feels.
1866
01:50:40,956 --> 01:50:44,233
I wrote the book!
I've seen the day if...
1867
01:50:44,852 --> 01:50:48,011
anybody forced me to face the truth about
my pipe dreams, I'd have shot them dead!
1868
01:50:53,534 --> 01:50:56,637
Well, Governor...
Jimmy made the grade.
1869
01:50:57,341 --> 01:50:58,653
Now it's your turn.
1870
01:50:59,278 --> 01:51:01,073
Leave Harry
alone, damn you!
1871
01:51:01,736 --> 01:51:05,047
I'd make up my mind about myself if I
were you, Larry, and not bother over Harry.
1872
01:51:05,676 --> 01:51:07,698
He doesn't need anyone's bum
pity, do you, Governor?
1873
01:51:08,613 --> 01:51:11,329
No, bejees! Keep your nose
out of this, Larry.
1874
01:51:12,956 --> 01:51:14,957
I've always been going
to take this walk, ain't I?
1875
01:51:16,068 --> 01:51:18,880
You bums want to keep me locked
up in here as if I was in jail!
1876
01:51:19,621 --> 01:51:21,121
I've stood it
long enough.
1877
01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:23,495
I'll do as I
damned please, bejees.
1878
01:51:24,088 --> 01:51:26,168
You keep your nose
out too, Hickey.
1879
01:51:26,824 --> 01:51:29,010
Bejees, you'd think you was
the boss of this dump, not me.
1880
01:51:31,050 --> 01:51:32,536
What the hell's
to be scared of?
1881
01:51:33,247 --> 01:51:36,132
Sure I'm all right! Just taking
a stroll around my own ward.
1882
01:51:37,330 --> 01:51:39,902
What's the weather like outside, Rocky?
Fine day, boss.
1883
01:51:40,593 --> 01:51:42,357
Sorry I can't hear you.
1884
01:51:42,893 --> 01:51:44,432
Don't look fine
to me.
1885
01:51:44,943 --> 01:51:46,726
Looks if it'd pour down
cats and dogs any minute.
1886
01:51:47,317 --> 01:51:49,357
My rheumati...
No, no, must be my eyes.
1887
01:51:50,085 --> 01:51:51,584
Half blind, bejees.
1888
01:51:52,242 --> 01:51:55,301
Makes things look black;
I see now it's a fine day.
1889
01:51:57,082 --> 01:51:59,484
Too damned hot for a walk,
though, if you ask me, eh?
1890
01:52:00,259 --> 01:52:03,085
Well, do me good to sweat
the booze out of me.
1891
01:52:05,467 --> 01:52:07,453
But I'll have to watch out
for the damned automobiles.
1892
01:52:08,109 --> 01:52:09,971
Wasn't none of them
around the last time.
1893
01:52:10,572 --> 01:52:13,551
From what I've seen through the window,
they'd run over you as soon as look at you.
1894
01:52:14,721 --> 01:52:16,637
Well,
so long.
1895
01:52:18,592 --> 01:52:20,812
Bejees, where are you, Hickey?
It's time we got started.
1896
01:52:21,425 --> 01:52:22,972
No, no, Harry,
can't be done.
1897
01:52:23,704 --> 01:52:25,283
You got to keep a date
with yourself alone.
1898
01:52:26,247 --> 01:52:27,604
Hell of a guy
you are.
1899
01:52:28,068 --> 01:52:29,376
I thought you'd be willing
to help me across the street,
1900
01:52:29,822 --> 01:52:31,530
seeing I'm half blind!
Half "deef," too.
1901
01:52:32,002 --> 01:52:33,443
I can't hear those
damned automobiles!
1902
01:52:33,929 --> 01:52:35,470
Oh, the hell
with you!
1903
01:52:36,078 --> 01:52:38,200
I've never, never needed
no one's help and I don't now.
1904
01:52:39,410 --> 01:52:41,646
I'll take a good long walk
now I've started.
1905
01:52:42,261 --> 01:52:43,880
See all my old friends.
1906
01:52:44,497 --> 01:52:46,101
Bejees, they must have
given me up for dead.
1907
01:52:46,677 --> 01:52:48,433
But they know it was grief over
Bessie's death that made me...
1908
01:52:49,633 --> 01:52:51,123
Well, the sooner
I get started...
1909
01:52:52,631 --> 01:52:54,229
You know, Hickey,
that's what gets me.
1910
01:52:54,784 --> 01:52:59,321
I can't help thinking the last time
I went out, was to Bessie's funeral.
1911
01:53:00,274 --> 01:53:03,063
After she'd gone, I didn't
feel life was worth living.
1912
01:53:04,159 --> 01:53:07,168
I can't feel it's right for me
to go, even now, Hickey.
1913
01:53:07,919 --> 01:53:09,798
It's like I was doing
wrong to her memory.
1914
01:53:10,368 --> 01:53:12,558
Now, Governor, you can't let yourself
get away with that one any more.
1915
01:53:13,476 --> 01:53:15,506
What's that?
I can't hear you.
1916
01:53:17,613 --> 01:53:22,489
Bejees, I remember... clear as
day, the last time before she...
1917
01:53:23,739 --> 01:53:26,036
It was a fine
Sunday morning.
1918
01:53:27,033 --> 01:53:29,181
We went out
to church together.
1919
01:53:30,703 --> 01:53:33,448
It's a great act, Governor,
but I know better and so do you.
1920
01:53:34,203 --> 01:53:36,315
You never did want to go to church
or any place else with her.
1921
01:53:36,916 --> 01:53:38,552
She was always on your neck,
wanting you to have ambition
1922
01:53:39,103 --> 01:53:42,795
and go out and do things, when all you
wanted to do was to get drunk in peace.
1923
01:53:44,659 --> 01:53:46,482
Can't hear a word
you're saying.
1924
01:53:47,147 --> 01:53:49,001
He's a God damned
liar, anyway!
1925
01:53:50,864 --> 01:53:54,417
Bejees, you son of a bitch!
If there was a mad dog out there
1926
01:53:55,514 --> 01:53:58,817
I'd go and shake hands with it
rather than stay here with you!
1927
01:54:09,195 --> 01:54:10,903
Jees, he made it!
1928
01:54:11,504 --> 01:54:13,130
I'd give you 50 to 1
he'd never...
1929
01:54:14,515 --> 01:54:16,124
Oh, he stopped.
1930
01:54:16,902 --> 01:54:18,467
I'll bet you he's comin' back.
Of course he's coming back.
1931
01:54:19,057 --> 01:54:21,477
By tonight they'll all be here again,
you dumbbell, that's the whole point.
1932
01:54:22,199 --> 01:54:24,373
No, he ain't neither!
He's gone to the curb.
1933
01:54:24,854 --> 01:54:27,437
He's lookin' up and down,
scared stiff of automobiles.
1934
01:54:28,014 --> 01:54:31,209
They ain't more than two an hour
comes down this street, the old boob!
1935
01:54:36,175 --> 01:54:38,767
Bejees, give me
a drink, quick!
1936
01:54:39,549 --> 01:54:41,405
Scared me out
of a year's growth!
1937
01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:43,563
Bejees, that guy
ought to be pinched!
1938
01:54:44,246 --> 01:54:45,836
Bejees, it ain't safe
to walk in the streets!
1939
01:54:46,402 --> 01:54:48,459
Give me that bottle.
1940
01:54:53,966 --> 01:54:55,958
You seen it, didn't you, Rocky?
Seen what?
1941
01:54:56,631 --> 01:54:58,283
That automobile,
you dumb Wop!
1942
01:54:59,285 --> 01:55:01,384
Fella driving it must
be drunk or crazy.
1943
01:55:02,065 --> 01:55:03,840
He'd run right over me
if I hadn't jumped!
1944
01:55:04,746 --> 01:55:06,688
Larry, have
a drink.
1945
01:55:07,263 --> 01:55:08,747
Come on, everybody,
have a drink.
1946
01:55:09,338 --> 01:55:11,241
Have a cigar, Rocky, I know
you hardly touch it.
1947
01:55:11,809 --> 01:55:13,623
This is one time
I do touch it!
1948
01:55:14,223 --> 01:55:15,979
And I'm goin'
to get stinko, see?
1949
01:55:16,765 --> 01:55:19,173
Well, jees, Harry! I thought
you had some guts!
1950
01:55:19,697 --> 01:55:22,210
I was bettin' you'd make it
and show that four-flusher up.
1951
01:55:22,865 --> 01:55:25,368
Automobile, hell! Who
do you think you're kiddin'?
1952
01:55:26,427 --> 01:55:28,716
There was no automobile!
You just quit cold!
1953
01:55:30,093 --> 01:55:33,493
I guess I ought to know!
Bejees, it almost killed me!
1954
01:55:34,117 --> 01:55:35,583
Now, now, Governor,
don't be foolish.
1955
01:55:36,186 --> 01:55:37,853
You've faced the test
and you've come through,
1956
01:55:38,047 --> 01:55:41,027
and you're rid of that nagging dream stuff now.
You know you can't believe it any more.
1957
01:55:42,037 --> 01:55:43,540
You saw it,
didn't you, Larry?
1958
01:55:44,475 --> 01:55:46,203
Have a drink, have another!
Have all you want!
1959
01:55:46,740 --> 01:55:48,876
We'll, we'll go, go on a
grand old souse together.
1960
01:55:49,699 --> 01:55:51,324
You saw that automobile,
didn't you?
1961
01:55:51,988 --> 01:55:53,956
Sure, I saw it, Harry,
you had a narrow escape.
1962
01:55:54,956 --> 01:55:56,579
Be God, I thought
you were a goner.
1963
01:55:57,258 --> 01:55:58,468
What the hell are you
doing, Larry?
1964
01:55:58,731 --> 01:56:00,372
Remember what I told you about the wrong
kind of pity, now leave him alone!
1965
01:56:00,939 --> 01:56:03,220
You'd think I was trying to harm
him, the fool way you act.
1966
01:56:03,556 --> 01:56:05,627
Why, there isn't anything I wouldn't do
for Harry, and he knows it.
1967
01:56:05,891 --> 01:56:08,513
All I wanted was to fix it so he'd finally be
at peace with himself.
1968
01:56:09,356 --> 01:56:11,725
And if you'll just wait until
the final returns are in,
1969
01:56:12,179 --> 01:56:13,636
that's exactly what
I've accomplished.
1970
01:56:15,004 --> 01:56:18,537
Come on, Governor, what's the use of being
stubborn, now when it's over and dead?
1971
01:56:19,104 --> 01:56:20,668
Give up that ghost
automobile.
1972
01:56:21,422 --> 01:56:23,474
Yeah, what's
the use now?
1973
01:56:24,542 --> 01:56:27,924
It's all a lie...
no automobile.
1974
01:56:29,100 --> 01:56:30,585
Bejees, something
ran over me.
1975
01:56:31,426 --> 01:56:33,223
Must have been
myself, I guess.
1976
01:56:34,853 --> 01:56:36,822
I guess
I'll sit down.
1977
01:56:38,558 --> 01:56:40,861
Feel all in.
1978
01:56:42,821 --> 01:56:44,616
Like a corpse,
bejees.
1979
01:56:53,283 --> 01:56:55,818
Hello, Hugo,
coming up for air?
1980
01:56:57,608 --> 01:57:00,214
You stay passed out,
that's the right dope.
1981
01:57:01,926 --> 01:57:06,597
There ain't any cool willow trees,
except you grow your own in a bottle.
1982
01:57:11,604 --> 01:57:13,030
Hello, Harry.
1983
01:57:14,253 --> 01:57:15,979
Stupid proletarian
monkey-face!
1984
01:57:19,442 --> 01:57:20,927
Here... have
a drink, Hugo.
1985
01:57:25,110 --> 01:57:26,742
Eh, no,
thank you.
1986
01:57:30,622 --> 01:57:35,556
I'm too crazy drunk... I hear
myself say crazy things.
1987
01:57:38,651 --> 01:57:40,206
Do not listen,
please!
1988
01:57:41,037 --> 01:57:44,612
Larry will tell you,
I've never been so crazy drunk.
1989
01:57:47,504 --> 01:57:49,591
I must
sleep it off.
1990
01:57:56,726 --> 01:57:59,124
What's the matter,
Harry? You look funny.
1991
01:58:04,272 --> 01:58:06,188
You look dead!
1992
01:58:08,123 --> 01:58:10,238
What's happened?
I don't know you!
1993
01:58:12,791 --> 01:58:16,629
Listen... I feel
I'm dying, too.
1994
01:58:17,611 --> 01:58:19,605
Because I'm
so crazy drunk.
1995
01:58:21,589 --> 01:58:24,414
It's very necessary
that I sleep!
1996
01:58:25,192 --> 01:58:26,689
I can't sleep
here with you!
1997
01:58:27,152 --> 01:58:28,524
You look dead!
1998
01:58:37,049 --> 01:58:39,930
Another one who's begun
to enjoy your peace.
1999
01:58:42,203 --> 01:58:44,804
Oh, I know it's rough on him
right now, same as it is on Harry.
2000
01:58:46,382 --> 01:58:48,045
That's just
the first shock.
2001
01:58:48,509 --> 01:58:51,208
I promise you they'll both be all right.
And you believe that?
2002
01:58:53,509 --> 01:58:55,593
I'm afraid
to live, am I?
2003
01:58:56,161 --> 01:58:57,932
And even more
afraid to die!
2004
01:58:59,054 --> 01:59:01,064
So I sit here with my pride drowned on the bottom of a bottle,
2005
01:59:02,070 --> 01:59:04,578
keeping drunk so I won't see
myself shaking in my britches with fright,
2006
01:59:05,782 --> 01:59:08,148
or hear myself whining and praying:
2007
01:59:08,983 --> 01:59:10,794
"Beloved Christ, let me live
a little longer at any price.
2008
01:59:11,637 --> 01:59:13,615
"If it's only for a few days
more, or a few hours even,
2009
01:59:14,580 --> 01:59:17,437
"have mercy, Almighty God,
and let me still clutch greedily
2010
01:59:18,063 --> 01:59:20,192
"to my yellow heart,
this sweet treasure,
2011
01:59:20,919 --> 01:59:24,981
"this jewel beyond price,this dirty,
stinking bit of withered old flesh which
2012
01:59:25,920 --> 01:59:27,983
is my beautiful little life!"
2013
01:59:30,105 --> 01:59:32,162
You think you'll make me
admit that to myself?
2014
01:59:34,026 --> 01:59:35,714
But you just did
admit it, didn't you?
2015
01:59:41,563 --> 01:59:43,182
That's the stuff,
Hickey.
2016
01:59:44,081 --> 01:59:45,266
Show that
old yellow faker up.
2017
01:59:45,986 --> 01:59:47,432
He can't play dead
on me like this.
2018
01:59:48,080 --> 01:59:49,672
Yes, you're gonna have
to settle with him, Larry.
2019
01:59:51,001 --> 01:59:53,088
I'm leaving you
entirely in his hands.
2020
01:59:53,757 --> 01:59:56,789
And he'll do as good a job as I could at
making you give up the old grandstand bluff.
2021
01:59:58,171 --> 01:59:59,467
How's it coming,
Governor?
2022
02:00:00,915 --> 02:00:03,179
Beginning to feel
free, aren't you?
2023
02:00:04,811 --> 02:00:06,363
Relieved and not
guilty any more?
2024
02:00:07,866 --> 02:00:12,794
Hmm, bejees! You must have been monkeying
with the booze too, you interfering bastard!
2025
02:00:13,971 --> 02:00:15,507
There's no life
in it now.
2026
02:00:16,298 --> 02:00:18,339
I wanna get drunk
and pass out.
2027
02:00:20,244 --> 02:00:21,864
I'll admit I didn't think
it'd hit him so hard.
2028
02:00:23,453 --> 02:00:25,834
He's always been a happy-go-lucky slob,
like I was.
2029
02:00:27,431 --> 02:00:29,551
Well, it hit me hard, too,
but only for a minute.
2030
02:00:31,248 --> 02:00:33,983
And then I felt as if a ton of guilt
had been lifted off my mind.
2031
02:00:35,370 --> 02:00:39,461
I saw what had happened was the only
possible way for the peace of all concerned.
2032
02:00:41,412 --> 02:00:43,219
What was it happened?
Tell us that.
2033
02:00:44,275 --> 02:00:46,395
And don't try to get out of it,
I want a straight answer!
2034
02:00:47,391 --> 02:00:49,335
I think it's something you
drove someone else to do.
2035
02:00:51,697 --> 02:00:53,066
"Someone else?"
2036
02:00:53,755 --> 02:00:55,187
What did your wife
die of?
2037
02:00:56,130 --> 02:00:57,983
You've kept that
a deep secret.
2038
02:00:59,844 --> 02:01:02,176
That's not very
considerate of you, Larry.
2039
02:01:03,465 --> 02:01:06,012
But if you insist on knowing now,
there's no reason you shouldn't.
2040
02:01:07,773 --> 02:01:09,967
It was a bullet through the head
that killed poor Evelyn.
2041
02:01:14,323 --> 02:01:16,697
Who, who
the hell cares?
2042
02:01:18,169 --> 02:01:21,110
The hell with her and that
nagging old hag, Bessie!
2043
02:01:22,477 --> 02:01:25,630
Christ! You had
the right dope, Larry.
2044
02:01:27,099 --> 02:01:29,747
You drove your poor wife
to suicide, I knew it.
2045
02:01:31,076 --> 02:01:33,609
Be God, I don't blame her! I'd almost do
the same thing myself to get rid of you.
2046
02:01:35,113 --> 02:01:36,526
It's what you'd like
to drive us all to...
2047
02:01:40,648 --> 02:01:42,053
I'm sorry, Hickey,
I'm sorry.
2048
02:01:44,207 --> 02:01:45,721
I'm a rotten louse
to throw that in your face.
2049
02:01:47,326 --> 02:01:48,925
Oh, that's
all right, Larry.
2050
02:01:49,472 --> 02:01:50,689
But don't jump
to conclusions.
2051
02:01:51,246 --> 02:01:52,972
I didn't say poor Evelyn
committed suicide.
2052
02:01:54,079 --> 02:01:56,143
That's the last thing she'd
have done, while I was
2053
02:01:56,750 --> 02:01:58,854
still alive so she could take
care of me and forgive me.
2054
02:02:01,221 --> 02:02:03,563
No, if you'd known her at all,
you'd never have such a crazy suspicion.
2055
02:02:06,188 --> 02:02:09,097
No, I'm sorry to tell you
that my poor wife was killed.
2056
02:02:12,235 --> 02:02:13,906
She was murdered?
2057
02:02:14,522 --> 02:02:15,919
You're a
liar, Larry!
2058
02:02:18,839 --> 02:02:20,067
You must be crazy
to say that to me.
2059
02:02:20,584 --> 02:02:22,063
You know damn well
she's still alive.
2060
02:02:22,570 --> 02:02:24,180
"Murdered?"
Who done it?
2061
02:02:24,731 --> 02:02:26,643
Shut up, you dumb Wop! It's none
of our damned business!
2062
02:02:27,152 --> 02:02:28,455
Leave him alone.
2063
02:02:29,265 --> 02:02:30,885
Still the old
grandstand bluff?
2064
02:02:31,826 --> 02:02:34,046
Or just some more
bum pity?
2065
02:02:34,881 --> 02:02:36,695
The police don't know
who killed her yet, Rocky.
2066
02:02:37,255 --> 02:02:39,093
But I expect they will
before very long.
2067
02:02:40,059 --> 02:02:41,548
How's it coming,
Governor?
2068
02:02:42,351 --> 02:02:44,319
Getting over
the first shock?
2069
02:02:46,279 --> 02:02:51,099
Beginning to feel free of guilt
and lying hopes, and at peace with yourself?
2070
02:02:52,359 --> 02:02:55,064
Somebody croaked
your Evelyn, eh?
2071
02:02:55,671 --> 02:02:57,969
Bejees, my bets
are on the iceman!
2072
02:02:59,257 --> 02:03:01,370
But who
the hell cares?
2073
02:03:02,027 --> 02:03:04,123
Let's get drunk
and pass out.
2074
02:03:07,276 --> 02:03:09,877
Bejees, what did you do
to the booze, Hickey?
2075
02:03:10,743 --> 02:03:12,896
There's no damned
life left in it.
2076
02:03:15,557 --> 02:03:16,780
Larry, don't look
like that.
2077
02:03:17,461 --> 02:03:19,080
You've got to believe what I told you!
It had nothing to do with her!
2078
02:03:19,658 --> 02:03:20,636
It was for a few
lousy dollars, honest!
2079
02:03:20,638 --> 02:03:22,038
You're beginning
to worry me, Governor.
2080
02:03:23,823 --> 02:03:25,995
Something is holding you up somewhere,
but I don't see why.
2081
02:03:27,945 --> 02:03:29,647
You've faced the truth
about yourself.
2082
02:03:31,209 --> 02:03:33,663
You've done what you had to do
to kill your nagging pipe dreams.
2083
02:03:34,742 --> 02:03:36,386
Oh, I know it
knocks you cold.
2084
02:03:37,034 --> 02:03:38,354
But only for a minute.
2085
02:03:38,848 --> 02:03:40,710
Then you'll see it was the
only possible way to peace.
2086
02:03:42,136 --> 02:03:43,886
And you'll feel happy,
like I did.
2087
02:03:45,415 --> 02:03:47,285
That's what worries me
about you, Governor.
2088
02:03:48,693 --> 02:03:50,401
It's time you began
to feel happy.
2089
02:03:56,739 --> 02:03:58,904
1,30 A M-THE FOLLOWING MORNING
2090
02:04:11,002 --> 02:04:12,274
Come on, you
damned nigger!
2091
02:04:12,882 --> 02:04:14,347
Beat it in the back room,
it's after hours.
2092
02:04:17,587 --> 02:04:20,806
Oh, the hell with it!
Let the dump get pinched.
2093
02:04:21,303 --> 02:04:22,954
I'm through with this
lousy job, anyway.
2094
02:04:24,655 --> 02:04:25,943
Been scrappin',
huh?
2095
02:04:26,704 --> 02:04:28,920
Started off on your periodical, ain't you?
Yeah, ain't you glad?
2096
02:04:29,513 --> 02:04:31,190
That I'm out on my feet
holdin' down your job?
2097
02:04:31,750 --> 02:04:33,490
You said if I'd take your day,
you'd relieve me at 6:00.
2098
02:04:34,236 --> 02:04:35,632
And here it's
1/2 past 1:00 A.M.!
2099
02:04:36,228 --> 02:04:37,434
Well, you're takin'
over now, get me?
2100
02:04:38,006 --> 02:04:40,323
No matter how plastered you are!
Ah, "plastered?" Hell, I wish I was!
2101
02:04:41,275 --> 02:04:42,929
I've lapped up a gallon,
but it don't hit me right.
2102
02:04:43,219 --> 02:04:45,121
And the hell with the job!
I'm goin' to tell Harry I'm quittin'!
2103
02:04:45,338 --> 02:04:46,738
Yeah?
Well, I'm quittin' too.
2104
02:04:47,537 --> 02:04:48,966
I've played sucker for that
crummy blonde long enough,
2105
02:04:49,421 --> 02:04:50,943
lettin' her kid me into workin';
from now on I take it easy.
2106
02:04:51,903 --> 02:04:53,157
I'm glad you're gettin'
some sense.
2107
02:04:53,787 --> 02:04:55,060
Yeah, I hope you're
gettin' some.
2108
02:04:55,531 --> 02:04:56,770
By the way, the prize
sap you've been,
2109
02:04:57,248 --> 02:04:58,577
tendin' bar when you got two
good hustlers in your stable.
2110
02:04:59,321 --> 02:05:01,011
Yeah, but I ain't
no sap now.
2111
02:05:01,551 --> 02:05:02,971
I'll loin them, when they
get back from Coney.
2112
02:05:03,610 --> 02:05:06,233
Jees, that Cora sure
played you for a dope.
2113
02:05:06,955 --> 02:05:08,883
Feedin' you that
marriage-on-a-farm hop!
2114
02:05:09,586 --> 02:05:11,774
Yeah, Hickey got it right,
a lousy pipe dream.
2115
02:05:12,715 --> 02:05:13,953
My pig's in the
back room, ain't she?
2116
02:05:14,545 --> 02:05:16,089
I wanna collect the dough
I wouldn't take this mornin',
2117
02:05:16,712 --> 02:05:18,008
like a sucker,
before she blows it.
2118
02:05:20,296 --> 02:05:22,881
I'm comin', too,
I'm through workin'.
2119
02:05:23,833 --> 02:05:25,869
I ain't no
lousy bartender.
2120
02:05:31,116 --> 02:05:33,075
I'm waitin', baby, dig!
Yeah.
2121
02:05:33,602 --> 02:05:35,431
I been expectin' you,
I got it all ready here.
2122
02:05:37,765 --> 02:05:44,265
Jees, imagine me kiddin' myself I wanted to
marry a drunken pimp. That's nothin', baby.
2123
02:05:44,877 --> 02:05:47,949
Imagine what a sap I'd have been when I
can get your dough just as easy without it.
2124
02:05:58,432 --> 02:06:00,453
Hello,
Old Cemetery.
2125
02:06:01,219 --> 02:06:03,410
Hello, Tightwad,
you still around?
2126
02:06:05,974 --> 02:06:07,070
Ask Larry.
2127
02:06:08,942 --> 02:06:10,666
He knows I'm here, all right,
although he's pretending not to.
2128
02:06:13,414 --> 02:06:14,804
He'd like to forget
I'm alive!
2129
02:06:17,283 --> 02:06:19,762
He's trying to kid himself
with that grandstand philosopher stuff.
2130
02:06:23,331 --> 02:06:25,360
I guess he got looking
at the fire escape.
2131
02:06:29,097 --> 02:06:31,957
Thinking how handy it was, if he was really
sick of life and only had the nerve to die!
2132
02:06:35,204 --> 02:06:36,802
And he's been thinking
about me too, Rocky.
2133
02:06:37,249 --> 02:06:38,832
He's trying to figure a way
to get out of helping me.
2134
02:06:43,407 --> 02:06:45,667
He loved her too, so he thinks I ought
to take a hop off the fire escape.
2135
02:06:53,409 --> 02:06:55,054
For God's sake!
Can't you say something?!
2136
02:06:57,434 --> 02:06:59,005
Larry!
2137
02:07:04,470 --> 02:07:07,729
Larry... I think what
Hickey must have done
2138
02:07:08,381 --> 02:07:10,060
has got me so I don't know
any more what I did or why.
2139
02:07:12,351 --> 02:07:14,125
I can't go
on like this!
2140
02:07:15,445 --> 02:07:16,829
I've got to do
what I got to do!
2141
02:07:17,326 --> 02:07:19,408
God damn you! Are you trying
to make me your executioner?
2142
02:07:20,114 --> 02:07:21,658
Execution?
2143
02:07:24,754 --> 02:07:26,150
Then you, you
think I...
2144
02:07:26,684 --> 02:07:28,171
I don't think anything.
2145
02:07:30,162 --> 02:07:31,714
Hickey's right about
him, isn't he, Rocky?
2146
02:07:32,506 --> 02:07:35,793
An old no-good drunken tramp, as dumb as he
is, ought to take a hop off the fire escape.
2147
02:07:36,545 --> 02:07:40,579
Sure, why don't he?
Or you, or me?
2148
02:07:41,699 --> 02:07:44,049
Oh, what the hell's
the difference? Who cares?
2149
02:07:49,610 --> 02:07:50,922
What am I doin' here
with "youse" two?
2150
02:07:53,633 --> 02:07:55,615
I remember I had somethin'
on my mind to tell you, what?
2151
02:07:58,062 --> 02:07:59,566
Oh, I got it now.
2152
02:08:00,822 --> 02:08:04,095
I was thinkin' how you
was both regular guys.
2153
02:08:05,522 --> 02:08:08,975
I thinks "Ain't two guys
like them saps to be hangin'"
2154
02:08:09,453 --> 02:08:12,279
"around like a couple of stew
bums and wastin' themselves?"
2155
02:08:13,739 --> 02:08:17,137
What do you think, Parritt?
You ain't a bad-lookin' guy.
2156
02:08:18,472 --> 02:08:22,027
You could easy make some gal
who's a good hustler, and start a stable.
2157
02:08:22,975 --> 02:08:25,820
And I'll help you and wise you up
to the inside dope on the game.
2158
02:08:28,199 --> 02:08:29,652
Well,
what about it?
2159
02:08:30,318 --> 02:08:31,870
What if they do
call you a pimp?
2160
02:08:35,386 --> 02:08:36,407
I don't want anything
to do with whores!
2161
02:08:36,867 --> 02:08:38,186
I wish they were all
in jail or dead!
2162
02:08:38,703 --> 02:08:40,154
All right,
stay a bum!
2163
02:08:41,024 --> 02:08:43,607
Well, how about you,
Larry? You ain't dumb.
2164
02:08:44,604 --> 02:08:47,840
Sure, you're old,
but that don't matter.
2165
02:08:48,410 --> 02:08:49,969
All the girls think
you're aces.
2166
02:08:50,673 --> 02:08:53,426
They fall for you like you were their uncle
or old man, or somethin'.
2167
02:08:54,360 --> 02:08:55,906
They like takin'
care of you.
2168
02:08:56,480 --> 02:08:58,529
And the cops around here,
they like you too.
2169
02:08:59,841 --> 02:09:03,699
You wouldn't have to worry where the next
drink's comin' from, or wear dirty clothes.
2170
02:09:04,396 --> 02:09:07,319
Well... don't it
look good to you?
2171
02:09:08,001 --> 02:09:09,705
No, it doesn't
look good, Rocky.
2172
02:09:10,780 --> 02:09:12,385
I mean, the peace
Hickey's brought you.
2173
02:09:12,991 --> 02:09:16,353
It isn't contented enough, if you have to
make a pimp of everyone else.
2174
02:09:17,306 --> 02:09:19,326
I'm a sap to waste
my time on you.
2175
02:09:19,973 --> 02:09:21,901
A stew bum
is a stew bum.
2176
02:09:23,416 --> 02:09:26,620
Like I was sayin' to Chuck,
if anyone asks you,
2177
02:09:27,446 --> 02:09:29,374
you don't know nothin'
about Hickey, get me?
2178
02:09:29,916 --> 02:09:31,729
You never even heard
he had a wife.
2179
02:09:33,280 --> 02:09:37,481
Jees, we all ought to get drunk
and stage a celebration
2180
02:09:38,087 --> 02:09:40,074
when that bastard
goes to the chair.
2181
02:09:40,583 --> 02:09:41,823
Be God, I'll
celebrate with you.
2182
02:09:42,365 --> 02:09:43,919
Drink to his long,
long life in hell.
2183
02:09:45,175 --> 02:09:46,549
The poor devil!
2184
02:09:47,141 --> 02:09:48,798
No, that's pity,
the wrong kind.
2185
02:09:49,399 --> 02:09:50,902
He'll welcome
the chair.
2186
02:09:51,465 --> 02:09:53,361
Yes, what are you so damned
scared about death for?
2187
02:09:55,763 --> 02:09:57,285
I don't want
your lousy pity.
2188
02:09:58,871 --> 02:10:00,616
I hope he don't
come back, Larry.
2189
02:10:01,232 --> 02:10:02,826
We don't know
nothin' now.
2190
02:10:03,377 --> 02:10:04,846
We're only
guessin', see?
2191
02:10:05,494 --> 02:10:07,324
But if that bastard
keeps on talkin'...
2192
02:10:07,817 --> 02:10:09,736
He'll come back and
he'll keep on talking.
2193
02:10:11,268 --> 02:10:13,202
He's lost his confidence
that the peace he's sold us
2194
02:10:13,842 --> 02:10:15,803
is the real McCoy, and it's
made him uneasy about his own.
2195
02:10:16,591 --> 02:10:19,057
He'll have to prove to us...
That's a damned lie, Larry.
2196
02:10:20,240 --> 02:10:21,983
I haven't lost
confidence.
2197
02:10:22,712 --> 02:10:24,363
By God, when I made up my mind
to sell someone something
2198
02:10:24,842 --> 02:10:26,526
I thought they ought
to want, I've sold 'em.
2199
02:10:27,765 --> 02:10:29,581
I mean, I don't think is very
kind of you to make that kind
2200
02:10:30,101 --> 02:10:32,121
of a crack when I've been
doing my best to help.
2201
02:10:33,638 --> 02:10:35,061
Keep away from me,
will you?
2202
02:10:35,695 --> 02:10:37,531
I don't know nothin'
about you, see?
2203
02:10:41,802 --> 02:10:43,503
Well, how is it
coming, everybody?
2204
02:10:46,007 --> 02:10:47,447
I'm sorry I had to leave you
for a little while,
2205
02:10:48,014 --> 02:10:49,569
but there was something
I had to get finally settled.
2206
02:10:50,162 --> 02:10:51,455
It's all fixed now.
2207
02:10:51,999 --> 02:10:56,132
When are you going to do somethin'
about this booze, Hickey? We can't pass out,
2208
02:10:57,493 --> 02:10:59,949
and you
promised us peace!
2209
02:11:01,074 --> 02:11:02,602
Yes, yes!
I wonder why that is.
2210
02:11:03,276 --> 02:11:05,112
For God's sake, Harry! You're still
harping on that same damn nonsense?
2211
02:11:05,657 --> 02:11:06,871
You've kept it up
all afternoon and night,
2212
02:11:07,352 --> 02:11:08,669
and you got everybody else
singing the same crazy tune!
2213
02:11:09,227 --> 02:11:10,693
I've had about all I can
stand, that's why I phoned.
2214
02:11:15,565 --> 02:11:17,447
Excuse me, boys and girls,
I-I don't mean that.
2215
02:11:18,661 --> 02:11:20,887
It's just that I worry about you
when you play dead on me like this.
2216
02:11:22,399 --> 02:11:24,498
I was hoping by the time I got back
you'd be like you ought to be.
2217
02:11:24,509 --> 02:11:26,587
I thought you were deliberately
holding back on me before
2218
02:11:26,737 --> 02:11:28,740
when I was here, because
you didn't want to give me
2219
02:11:28,850 --> 02:11:30,190
the satisfaction of showing
me that I had the right dope!
2220
02:11:30,390 --> 02:11:31,814
And I did have,
I know from my own experience.
2221
02:11:33,604 --> 02:11:35,239
But I've explained that
a million times.
2222
02:11:36,871 --> 02:11:38,737
Now you've all done
what you needed to do.
2223
02:11:39,293 --> 02:11:41,511
By rights you should be
contented with yourself, and
2224
02:11:41,720 --> 02:11:44,622
free from the lying hopes and
nagging dreams that torment you.
2225
02:11:46,231 --> 02:11:48,817
But here you are, sitting around like
a lot of stiffs cheating the undertaker!
2226
02:11:50,548 --> 02:11:52,124
I can't figure it...
2227
02:11:53,977 --> 02:11:56,286
unless it's just your damned
stubborn pigheadedness.
2228
02:11:58,828 --> 02:12:01,702
Oh, hell... don't act
like this with me, gang!
2229
02:12:03,031 --> 02:12:04,886
You're my old pals,
the only friends I've got!
2230
02:12:05,695 --> 02:12:08,028
You know, the one thing that I want
is to see you happy before I go.
2231
02:12:10,013 --> 02:12:11,739
And there's damned
little time left now.
2232
02:12:13,213 --> 02:12:14,646
I've made a date
for 2:00 o'clock.
2233
02:12:15,187 --> 02:12:16,704
So, we've got to get busy right
away and find out what's wrong!
2234
02:12:19,855 --> 02:12:22,032
Can't you appreciate what
you've got, for God's sake?
2235
02:12:23,540 --> 02:12:26,190
Don't you see you're free to be yourselves
now, without feeling remorse or guilt,
2236
02:12:26,892 --> 02:12:29,313
or having to lie to yourselves
about reforming tomorrow?
2237
02:12:29,937 --> 02:12:32,005
Don't you see?
There is no tomorrow now!
2238
02:12:32,653 --> 02:12:34,328
You're rid of it forever,
you've killed it!
2239
02:12:35,086 --> 02:12:37,387
You don't have to care
a damn about anything any more!
2240
02:12:37,991 --> 02:12:40,480
You've finally got the game of
life licked, don't you see that?
2241
02:12:42,164 --> 02:12:45,028
Then why the hell don't you get
drunk and sing "Sweet Adeline"?
2242
02:12:45,564 --> 02:12:47,726
Why don't you laugh and
celebrate, and get pie-eyed?
2243
02:12:53,151 --> 02:12:54,903
The only reason I can think
of is you're putting on
2244
02:12:55,380 --> 02:12:58,372
this rotten half-dead act just to get
back at me, because you hate my guts.
2245
02:12:59,770 --> 02:13:01,934
God, don't do
that, gang!
2246
02:13:03,095 --> 02:13:05,353
It makes me feel like hell
to think that you hate me.
2247
02:13:06,593 --> 02:13:08,724
Makes me feel that you
suspected that I hated you.
2248
02:13:09,367 --> 02:13:10,714
But that is a lie!
2249
02:13:11,276 --> 02:13:12,781
Oh, I know I used to hate
everybody in the world
2250
02:13:13,213 --> 02:13:15,474
that wasn't as rotten a bastard as I was,
but that's when I was still living in hell!
2251
02:13:16,080 --> 02:13:17,821
Before I faced
the truth.
2252
02:13:19,711 --> 02:13:21,860
And saw the one possible way
to free poor Evelyn,
2253
02:13:23,800 --> 02:13:25,661
and give her the peace that
she'd always dreamed about.
2254
02:13:26,276 --> 02:13:27,836
Oh, put a bag over it!
To hell with Evelyn.
2255
02:13:28,353 --> 02:13:29,525
What if she
was cheatin'?
2256
02:13:30,105 --> 02:13:31,757
And who cares what you did
to her? That's your funeral.
2257
02:13:32,235 --> 02:13:33,482
We don't give
a damn, see?
2258
02:13:34,026 --> 02:13:36,365
All we want outta you is keep
the hell away from us and give us a rest!
2259
02:13:37,987 --> 02:13:40,626
The one possible way to make up to her
for all that I made her go through,
2260
02:13:42,115 --> 02:13:44,639
and get her rid of me so that I
couldn't make her suffer any more,
2261
02:13:45,847 --> 02:13:47,628
and she wouldn't have
to forgive me again.
2262
02:13:49,864 --> 02:13:53,087
I saw I couldn't do it by killing myself,
like I wanted to for a long time.
2263
02:13:55,256 --> 02:13:57,312
That would have been
the last straw for her.
2264
02:13:58,309 --> 02:14:01,020
She'd have died of a broken heart
to think that I could do that to her.
2265
02:14:02,874 --> 02:14:05,141
She'd have blamed
herself, too.
2266
02:14:06,058 --> 02:14:08,035
Or I just couldn't
run away from her.
2267
02:14:08,977 --> 02:14:12,454
She'd have died of grief and humiliation
if I'd done that to her.
2268
02:14:13,702 --> 02:14:16,014
She'd have thought
I stopped loving her.
2269
02:14:19,294 --> 02:14:24,618
You see... Evelyn
loved me, and I loved her.
2270
02:14:26,521 --> 02:14:28,384
That was the trouble.
2271
02:14:29,251 --> 02:14:31,937
Oh, it would have been easy to find a way out
if she hadn't loved me so much.
2272
02:14:32,926 --> 02:14:34,787
Or if I hadn't
loved her.
2273
02:14:35,651 --> 02:14:38,157
But as it was, there was
only one possible way.
2274
02:14:40,268 --> 02:14:42,294
I had to kill her.
2275
02:14:44,537 --> 02:14:46,400
Mad fool! Can't you
keep your mouth shut?
2276
02:14:48,045 --> 02:14:49,809
We may hate you for what
you've done this time,
2277
02:14:50,687 --> 02:14:52,684
but we remember the old times,
when you brought laughter
2278
02:14:53,197 --> 02:14:55,003
and kindness here
instead of death!
2279
02:14:55,732 --> 02:14:58,213
We don't want to know things
that will make us help send you to the chair!
2280
02:14:58,788 --> 02:14:59,996
Oh, shut up!
2281
02:15:00,491 --> 02:15:02,030
You yellow faker! Can't
you face anything?
2282
02:15:02,434 --> 02:15:04,370
Wouldn't I deserve
the chair too if I...
2283
02:15:07,586 --> 02:15:09,638
It's, it's worse if you kill someone
and they have to go on living.
2284
02:15:13,821 --> 02:15:15,179
I'd be glad
of the chair.
2285
02:15:16,121 --> 02:15:18,227
It'd wipe it out and
square me with myself.
2286
02:15:20,610 --> 02:15:22,768
I wish you'd get rid
of that bastard, Larry.
2287
02:15:23,896 --> 02:15:27,009
I can't have him pretending there's something
in common between him and me.
2288
02:15:29,538 --> 02:15:31,661
It's what's in your
heart that counts.
2289
02:15:33,160 --> 02:15:36,203
And there was love
in my heart, not hate.
2290
02:15:37,105 --> 02:15:38,515
You're a liar!
2291
02:15:39,277 --> 02:15:41,380
I don't hate her!
I couldn't!
2292
02:15:41,538 --> 02:15:43,084
And anyway, it had nothing to do with her!
You ask Larry!
2293
02:15:44,017 --> 02:15:47,338
God damn you, stop shoving
your rotten soul in my lap!
2294
02:15:48,249 --> 02:15:50,066
Don't worry about
the chair, Larry.
2295
02:15:50,868 --> 02:15:52,675
I know you're still
terrified by death.
2296
02:15:54,292 --> 02:15:59,815
But when you've made peace with yourself,
like I have, you won't give a damn.
2297
02:16:05,361 --> 02:16:06,805
Listen, everybody.
2298
02:16:07,363 --> 02:16:09,356
I've made up my mind, the only
way I can clear this up for you,
2299
02:16:10,019 --> 02:16:11,811
so you'll realize how contented
and carefree you ought to feel,
2300
02:16:12,488 --> 02:16:14,085
now that I've made you
get rid of your pipe dreams,
2301
02:16:15,492 --> 02:16:17,714
is to show you what a pipe dream
did to me and Evelyn.
2302
02:16:18,816 --> 02:16:20,757
And I'm certain, if I tell you
about it from the beginning,
2303
02:16:21,683 --> 02:16:24,236
you'll appreciate what I've
done for you and why I did it.
2304
02:16:25,252 --> 02:16:28,087
And how damned grateful you ought to be,
instead of hating me.
2305
02:16:31,023 --> 02:16:33,264
You see, even as
kids, Evelyn and me...
2306
02:16:33,928 --> 02:16:39,236
All we want is to pass out and get drunk,
and a little peace!
2307
02:16:42,544 --> 02:16:44,351
All right, if that's
the way you feel!
2308
02:16:44,964 --> 02:16:46,397
I don't want to cram
it down your throats!
2309
02:16:46,971 --> 02:16:49,050
I don't need to tell anyone,
I don't feel guilty.
2310
02:16:50,350 --> 02:16:51,925
I'm only worried
about you.
2311
02:16:57,099 --> 02:16:58,684
In the back room
if you wanna drink.
2312
02:16:59,420 --> 02:17:00,836
A guy named Hickman
in the back room?
2313
02:17:01,693 --> 02:17:03,341
Think I know the names... Listen, you!
This is murder.
2314
02:17:03,956 --> 02:17:07,571
It was Hickman himself who phoned in and said
we'd find him here around 2:00.
2315
02:17:08,253 --> 02:17:09,764
So that's who
he phoned to.
2316
02:17:10,323 --> 02:17:13,948
Yeah, he's in there, and if you want
a confession all you got to do is listen.
2317
02:17:14,540 --> 02:17:16,468
You can't stop
the bastard talkin'.
2318
02:17:17,945 --> 02:17:19,717
You see, even as a kid
I was always restless.
2319
02:17:19,857 --> 02:17:21,599
I had to keep
on the go.
2320
02:17:22,144 --> 02:17:24,930
You've heard the old saying
that "Ministers' sons are sons of guns?"
2321
02:17:25,244 --> 02:17:26,955
Well,
that was me and then some.
2322
02:17:27,786 --> 02:17:29,196
Home was like a jail.
2323
02:17:29,923 --> 02:17:31,451
Listening to my old man whooping
up hell fire and scaring
2324
02:17:32,042 --> 02:17:33,355
those Hoosier suckers into
shelling out their dough
2325
02:17:34,035 --> 02:17:35,978
only handed me a laugh! Although
I gotta to hand it to him,
2326
02:17:36,921 --> 02:17:38,849
the way he sold them
nothing for something.
2327
02:17:39,623 --> 02:17:42,100
I guess I take after him, and that's what
made me a good salesman;
2328
02:17:43,181 --> 02:17:47,583
well, like I said, home was like jail, and so was school,
and so was that damned hick town.
2329
02:17:48,576 --> 02:17:51,283
The only places I liked were the pool halls,
where I could smoke Sweet Caporals
2330
02:17:51,937 --> 02:17:53,274
and mop up
a couple of beers, eh?
2331
02:17:53,815 --> 02:17:55,290
Thinking I was a
hell-on-wheels sport.
2332
02:17:56,395 --> 02:17:57,782
We had one hooker
shop in town.
2333
02:17:58,583 --> 02:17:59,961
Of course I
liked that, too.
2334
02:18:00,546 --> 02:18:01,999
Not that I hardly ever
had the entrance money.
2335
02:18:02,543 --> 02:18:03,965
My old man was
a tight old bastard.
2336
02:18:04,546 --> 02:18:06,343
But I liked to sit around in the
parlor and joke with the girls.
2337
02:18:07,009 --> 02:18:09,262
And they liked me too,
because I kid 'em along and make 'em laugh.
2338
02:18:10,661 --> 02:18:12,618
And you know how
a small town is.
2339
02:18:13,380 --> 02:18:14,862
Everybody
got wise to me.
2340
02:18:15,824 --> 02:18:17,991
They said I was a no-good tramp,
but I didn't give a damn what they said.
2341
02:18:18,176 --> 02:18:19,824
I hated everybody
in the place.
2342
02:18:20,359 --> 02:18:21,743
That is,
except Evelyn.
2343
02:18:22,354 --> 02:18:24,753
And I loved Evelyn,
even as a kid.
2344
02:18:25,582 --> 02:18:27,178
And Evelyn loved me.
2345
02:18:29,505 --> 02:18:31,490
Larry, I loved mother!
No matter what she did!
2346
02:18:31,936 --> 02:18:35,506
I still do! Yes, sir, as far back as I can
remember, Evelyn and I loved each other.
2347
02:18:37,055 --> 02:18:38,601
She always
stood out for me.
2348
02:18:39,320 --> 02:18:41,548
She wouldn't believe the gossip,
or she pretended she wouldn't.
2349
02:18:42,916 --> 02:18:44,706
No one could convince her
that I was no good.
2350
02:18:46,480 --> 02:18:48,569
Evelyn was stubborn as hell
once she made up her mind.
2351
02:18:50,182 --> 02:18:53,591
You know, even when I'd admit
things and ask her forgiveness,
2352
02:18:54,921 --> 02:18:58,208
she'd make excuses for me
and defend me against myself.
2353
02:18:59,805 --> 02:19:02,620
And she'd kiss me,
she'd say that she knew
2354
02:19:03,307 --> 02:19:05,037
that I wouldn't do it again
and I said that I wouldn't.
2355
02:19:05,580 --> 02:19:07,592
And I'd promise,
I'd have to promise.
2356
02:19:08,456 --> 02:19:10,552
She was so damn
sweet and good.
2357
02:19:12,454 --> 02:19:14,098
Yet I knew
darned well...
2358
02:19:15,470 --> 02:19:17,964
No, sir, you couldn't
stop Evelyn!
2359
02:19:18,224 --> 02:19:19,928
Nothing on Earth could
shake her faith in me!
2360
02:19:20,321 --> 02:19:21,672
Even I couldn't!
2361
02:19:23,072 --> 02:19:25,436
She was a sucker
for a pipe dream.
2362
02:19:28,089 --> 02:19:30,032
Well, naturally, her family
forbid her seeing me.
2363
02:19:32,566 --> 02:19:34,670
They were one of the town's
best, rich for that hick burg.
2364
02:19:36,193 --> 02:19:38,045
They owned the trolley line
and the lumber company.
2365
02:19:38,698 --> 02:19:41,470
Strict Methodists, too;
oh, did they hate my guts!
2366
02:19:43,532 --> 02:19:45,080
Even they couldn't
stop Evelyn.
2367
02:19:46,504 --> 02:19:48,911
And she'd sneak notes to me
and we'd meet me on the side.
2368
02:19:50,620 --> 02:19:52,659
But I was getting
more restless.
2369
02:19:53,818 --> 02:19:55,840
The town was getting
more like a jail.
2370
02:19:56,675 --> 02:19:58,419
I made up my mind
to beat it.
2371
02:19:59,010 --> 02:20:01,126
I knew exactly what I wanted
to be by that time.
2372
02:20:01,689 --> 02:20:03,978
I met a lot of drummers around
the hotel, and I liked 'em.
2373
02:20:04,466 --> 02:20:06,327
They were always
telling jokes, eh?
2374
02:20:06,902 --> 02:20:08,750
They were sports, always on
the move, I liked their life.
2375
02:20:09,735 --> 02:20:11,769
And I knew I could kid people
and sell things.
2376
02:20:12,701 --> 02:20:16,246
The hitch was, how to get the
railroad fare to the Big Town?
2377
02:20:19,090 --> 02:20:21,707
Hell, I... I told
Mollie Arlington my trouble.
2378
02:20:22,461 --> 02:20:24,201
She was the Madame
of the cathouse.
2379
02:20:24,736 --> 02:20:25,767
She liked me.
2380
02:20:26,342 --> 02:20:27,822
"Hell, I'll stake you, kid.
2381
02:20:28,361 --> 02:20:30,269
"I'll bet on you, with that grin
of yours and that line of bull
2382
02:20:30,812 --> 02:20:33,241
you ought to be able to sell
skunks for good ratters."
2383
02:20:34,014 --> 02:20:35,570
Yeah, Mollie
was all right.
2384
02:20:37,309 --> 02:20:39,778
She made me feel
confident in myself.
2385
02:20:41,177 --> 02:20:43,313
Well, I paid her back too,
first money I earned.
2386
02:20:44,195 --> 02:20:45,692
I remember sending her
a kidding letter saying
2387
02:20:46,305 --> 02:20:47,659
that I was peddling
baby carriages, and she
2388
02:20:48,220 --> 02:20:50,140
and the girls had better
get in on our bargain offer!
2389
02:20:53,267 --> 02:20:55,156
That's getting
ahead of my story.
2390
02:20:58,119 --> 02:21:00,237
That last night
before I left town...
2391
02:21:01,982 --> 02:21:04,312
I had a date
with Evelyn.
2392
02:21:04,980 --> 02:21:06,880
I got all worked up.
2393
02:21:08,040 --> 02:21:10,081
She was so pretty
and sweet and good.
2394
02:21:11,424 --> 02:21:12,697
I told her straight.
2395
02:21:13,477 --> 02:21:16,346
"You better forget me,
Evelyn, for your own sake."
2396
02:21:17,323 --> 02:21:18,926
"I'm no good
and I never will be."
2397
02:21:21,550 --> 02:21:24,119
And I broke down
and cried.
2398
02:21:25,016 --> 02:21:29,577
And she just said, looking white and scared:
"Why, Teddy, don't you still love me?"
2399
02:21:31,712 --> 02:21:33,505
"Love you?
2400
02:21:34,250 --> 02:21:36,093
"God, Evelyn, I love you more
than anything in the world.
2401
02:21:36,720 --> 02:21:37,991
And I always will."
2402
02:21:40,088 --> 02:21:43,760
She said:"Nothing matters, Teddy."
2403
02:21:46,059 --> 02:21:49,144
"Because nothing but death
could stop my loving you.
2404
02:21:50,631 --> 02:21:53,199
"So when you're ready you send
for me, and we'll be married.
2405
02:21:55,680 --> 02:21:57,527
"And I know I can
make you happy, Teddy.
2406
02:21:59,050 --> 02:22:00,456
"And when you're happy,
you won't want to do
2407
02:22:01,004 --> 02:22:02,736
any of those bad things
you've done any more."
2408
02:22:05,083 --> 02:22:06,768
"Of course
I won't, Evelyn."
2409
02:22:08,193 --> 02:22:11,028
And I meant it,
I believed it.
2410
02:22:14,264 --> 02:22:16,736
I loved her so much she could
make me believe anything.
2411
02:22:17,621 --> 02:22:21,119
You married her, you caught
her cheating with the iceman,
2412
02:22:22,306 --> 02:22:26,577
and you croaked her, and all we want
is to pass out in peace, bejees!
2413
02:22:27,458 --> 02:22:29,600
So I beat it
to the Big Town!
2414
02:22:30,369 --> 02:22:32,912
I got a job easy, it was a cinch for me
to make good, I had the knack.
2415
02:22:33,479 --> 02:22:36,486
It was like a game, sizing people up quick,
spotting what their pet pipe dreams were,
2416
02:22:37,158 --> 02:22:38,534
and then kidding 'em
along that line.
2417
02:22:39,303 --> 02:22:41,084
Pretending you believed what they wanted
to believe about themselves.
2418
02:22:41,652 --> 02:22:42,910
Then they liked you,
they trusted you.
2419
02:22:43,354 --> 02:22:44,867
They want to buy something
to show their gratitude.
2420
02:22:45,307 --> 02:22:46,634
It was fun!
2421
02:22:47,429 --> 02:22:49,827
But still, all the while
I felt guilty, as though
2422
02:22:50,419 --> 02:22:52,589
I shouldn't be having such
a good time away from Evelyn.
2423
02:22:53,659 --> 02:22:55,230
In each of my letters I'd
tell her how I missed her,
2424
02:22:55,826 --> 02:22:57,483
but I'd warn her, too;
I'd tell her about my faults.
2425
02:22:58,082 --> 02:22:59,983
How I liked my booze every now
and then, and so on.
2426
02:23:00,772 --> 02:23:04,232
But you couldn't shake Evelyn's belief in me,
or her dreams about the future.
2427
02:23:05,938 --> 02:23:09,489
And then after each one of her letters,
I'd be as full of faith as she was.
2428
02:23:10,573 --> 02:23:13,638
So when I got enough saved to start us off,
I sent for her and we got married.
2429
02:23:15,307 --> 02:23:17,647
Christ, wasn't I
happy for a while!
2430
02:23:18,358 --> 02:23:19,882
And wasn't she happy.
2431
02:23:20,426 --> 02:23:21,794
I don't care what anybody says,
I'll bet there were never
2432
02:23:22,370 --> 02:23:23,447
two people who loved each
other more than me and Evelyn.
2433
02:23:23,894 --> 02:23:25,684
Not only then,
but ever afterwards.
2434
02:23:26,305 --> 02:23:27,662
In spite of everything I did.
2435
02:23:29,048 --> 02:23:31,157
Well, it's all there at the start,
everything that happened afterwards.
2436
02:23:32,374 --> 02:23:34,433
Though I never could
learn to handle temptation.
2437
02:23:34,990 --> 02:23:36,409
I'd want to reform
and mean it.
2438
02:23:37,041 --> 02:23:38,761
Then I'd promise her, and I'd promise myself,
and I'd believe it.
2439
02:23:39,268 --> 02:23:40,960
"It's the last time, Evelyn."
2440
02:23:41,658 --> 02:23:43,464
"I know it's
the last time, Teddy."
2441
02:23:44,052 --> 02:23:45,451
"You'll never
do it again."
2442
02:23:46,033 --> 02:23:47,751
And that's what
made it so hard!
2443
02:23:48,359 --> 02:23:49,946
That's what made me
feel such a rotten skunk!
2444
02:23:50,491 --> 02:23:51,901
Her always
forgiving me.
2445
02:23:52,525 --> 02:23:53,788
My playing around
with women, for instance.
2446
02:23:54,315 --> 02:23:55,379
It was just a harmless
good time to me.
2447
02:23:55,846 --> 02:23:57,644
It didn't mean anything,
but I'd know what it meant to her!
2448
02:23:58,293 --> 02:23:59,944
So I'd swear
to myself "Never again."
2449
02:24:00,875 --> 02:24:03,912
But you know how it is, traveling around,
those damned hotel rooms.
2450
02:24:04,546 --> 02:24:06,215
You get to seeing things
in the wall paper.
2451
02:24:06,846 --> 02:24:09,159
I'd get so damn bored,
so lonely and homesick.
2452
02:24:10,143 --> 02:24:12,281
But at the same time,
sick of home.
2453
02:24:12,791 --> 02:24:15,076
I'd feel free, I'd want
to celebrate a little.
2454
02:24:15,702 --> 02:24:18,674
Well, I never drank on the job
so it had to be dames, any tart.
2455
02:24:19,240 --> 02:24:22,315
What I'd want was some tramp that I
could be myself with, without being ashamed.
2456
02:24:23,159 --> 02:24:25,223
Someone I could tell a
dirty joke to and she'd laugh!
2457
02:24:26,950 --> 02:24:31,331
Jees... all the lousy jokes
I've had to listen to and pretend was funny.
2458
02:24:32,531 --> 02:24:35,551
Sometimes I'd try a joke that I thought
was a real corker on Evelyn!
2459
02:24:36,646 --> 02:24:38,296
And she'd always
make herself laugh.
2460
02:24:39,714 --> 02:24:41,754
But I could tell she thought
it was dirty and not funny.
2461
02:24:43,186 --> 02:24:46,525
And she always knew about the tarts that
I'd been with when I came home from a trip.
2462
02:24:47,222 --> 02:24:49,670
She'd kiss me and look
in my eyes, and she'd know.
2463
02:24:51,226 --> 02:24:53,746
And I could see in her eyes
her not wanting to know.
2464
02:24:54,354 --> 02:24:56,272
"Even if
it is true, he can't help it."
2465
02:24:57,048 --> 02:24:59,608
"They tempt him, he's
lonely, he hasn't got me.
2466
02:25:00,223 --> 02:25:01,414
"It's only his body,
he doesn't love them.
2467
02:25:01,956 --> 02:25:03,757
"I'm the only one he loves,"
and she was right, too!
2468
02:25:04,376 --> 02:25:07,305
I never loved anyone else!
Couldn't if I wanted to.
2469
02:25:10,107 --> 02:25:12,610
She forgave me even when it all
had to come out in the open.
2470
02:25:14,110 --> 02:25:16,401
You know how it is when you
keep taking chances.
2471
02:25:17,020 --> 02:25:19,923
You may be lucky for a long time,
but you'll get nicked in the end.
2472
02:25:21,282 --> 02:25:23,849
I picked up a nail
from some tart in Altoona.
2473
02:25:24,715 --> 02:25:27,209
Yeah, and she picked it up
from some guy.
2474
02:25:27,834 --> 02:25:29,399
It's all in the game.
2475
02:25:29,991 --> 02:25:33,328
I had to do a lot of lying and stalling
when I got home, but it didn't do any good.
2476
02:25:34,865 --> 02:25:40,070
The quack I went to got all my dough, and
he told me I was cured, and I believed him.
2477
02:25:41,606 --> 02:25:44,699
But I wasn't...
and poor Evelyn.
2478
02:25:46,012 --> 02:25:48,564
But she did her best to make me
believe that she fell for my lie
2479
02:25:49,106 --> 02:25:54,473
about how... traveling men get things
from drinking cups on... on trains.
2480
02:25:57,982 --> 02:26:00,097
Anyway, she
forgave me.
2481
02:26:00,863 --> 02:26:04,102
The same way she forgave me every time
I'd show up after a periodical drunk!
2482
02:26:06,450 --> 02:26:09,031
And you all knew what I'd look like
after one of those, you saw me!
2483
02:26:09,677 --> 02:26:12,784
Like something lying in the gutter that no
alley cat would lower himself to drag in!
2484
02:26:13,546 --> 02:26:15,742
Something they threw out of
the D.T. ward at Bellevue!
2485
02:26:16,309 --> 02:26:18,667
Along with the garbage,
something that should be dead!
2486
02:26:21,368 --> 02:26:23,278
But isn't.
2487
02:26:32,541 --> 02:26:35,218
Evelyn wouldn't have heard
from me in a month or more.
2488
02:26:37,007 --> 02:26:38,911
She'd been waiting
there alone.
2489
02:26:40,663 --> 02:26:44,096
The neighbors feeling sorry for her out loud
and shaking their heads.
2490
02:26:46,592 --> 02:26:48,937
That was until she got me
to move to the outskirts,
2491
02:26:50,681 --> 02:26:53,224
where there weren't
any next-door neighbors.
2492
02:26:56,998 --> 02:27:00,927
Then the door would open...
and I'd stumble...
2493
02:27:03,850 --> 02:27:05,981
looking like
what I've just said.
2494
02:27:07,544 --> 02:27:10,775
Into her home, that she always
kept so... spotless and clean.
2495
02:27:12,489 --> 02:27:15,250
And I'd sworn it would
never happen again!
2496
02:27:15,809 --> 02:27:18,570
And now I'd have to start swearing again
that this was the last time!
2497
02:27:19,140 --> 02:27:24,533
I could see disgust having a battle in
her eyes with love, but love always won!
2498
02:27:27,325 --> 02:27:30,695
She'd make her-self...
kiss me!
2499
02:27:34,396 --> 02:27:36,639
As though nothing
had happened.
2500
02:27:39,019 --> 02:27:42,074
As though I'd just come home
from a business trip.
2501
02:27:44,521 --> 02:27:47,169
She'd never complain
or bawl me out.
2502
02:27:49,189 --> 02:27:51,661
Christ, can you imagine what a
guilty skunk she made me feel!
2503
02:27:52,514 --> 02:27:54,813
If only once she admitted that
her pipe dream about tomorrow,
2504
02:27:55,298 --> 02:27:57,285
and my behaving myself
would never be any good!
2505
02:27:57,753 --> 02:27:59,160
But she wouldn't!
2506
02:28:00,163 --> 02:28:02,232
She was stubborn
as hell!
2507
02:28:02,735 --> 02:28:04,801
Once she'd set her mind on
anything, you couldn't shake
2508
02:28:05,271 --> 02:28:08,236
her faith that it had
to come true tomorrow!
2509
02:28:13,792 --> 02:28:17,993
It was the same old story, over
and over, for years and years.
2510
02:28:20,424 --> 02:28:23,468
And it kept piling up,
inside her and inside me.
2511
02:28:24,859 --> 02:28:26,790
God, can you picture
what I made her suffer?
2512
02:28:27,268 --> 02:28:28,854
And all the guilt that
she made me feel?
2513
02:28:29,491 --> 02:28:31,531
And how I
hated myself?
2514
02:28:32,804 --> 02:28:35,170
If she only hadn't been
so damned good!
2515
02:28:36,283 --> 02:28:38,785
If she'd been the same kind
of wife that I was a husband.
2516
02:28:39,903 --> 02:28:41,970
God, sometimes I used
to pray that she'd...
2517
02:28:43,993 --> 02:28:46,562
"Go on, why don't you, Evelyn?"
2518
02:28:47,339 --> 02:28:49,533
"Serve me right, I wouldn't
mind, I'd forgive you."
2519
02:28:51,031 --> 02:28:53,057
Of course I'd pretend
I was kidding.
2520
02:28:53,923 --> 02:28:56,435
The same way I used to joke here
about her being in the hay with the iceman.
2521
02:28:58,069 --> 02:29:00,557
She'd have felt so hurt
if I'd said it seriously.
2522
02:29:02,438 --> 02:29:04,650
She'd have thought
I'd stopped loving her.
2523
02:29:06,633 --> 02:29:09,364
I suppose you think I'm a liar,
that no woman could have stood
2524
02:29:09,921 --> 02:29:12,031
all she stood
and still loved me so much.
2525
02:29:12,529 --> 02:29:14,645
That it isn't human for a woman
to be so pitying and forgiving!
2526
02:29:15,099 --> 02:29:16,596
Well, I am not lying!
2527
02:29:17,334 --> 02:29:20,080
And if you'd ever seen her,
you'd realize that I wasn't.
2528
02:29:21,530 --> 02:29:26,544
It was written all over her face:
Sweetness, love, pity, forgiveness.
2529
02:29:28,761 --> 02:29:30,543
Although, wait,
I'll... show you.
2530
02:29:31,035 --> 02:29:33,018
I always carry
her picture.
2531
02:29:40,578 --> 02:29:44,575
No, I'm forgetting...
I tore it up afterwards.
2532
02:29:46,105 --> 02:29:48,400
I didn't need it
any more.
2533
02:29:49,698 --> 02:29:51,862
Jees, Hickey!
Jees!
2534
02:29:52,904 --> 02:29:54,906
I burnt up mother's
picture, Larry.
2535
02:29:55,304 --> 02:29:57,609
Her eyes kept following me around all the time.
They seemed to be wishing I was dead!
2536
02:29:58,943 --> 02:30:00,495
It kept piling up,
like I've said.
2537
02:30:02,561 --> 02:30:04,180
I got so I thought
about it all the time.
2538
02:30:04,890 --> 02:30:07,793
And I hated myself more and more,
2539
02:30:08,153 --> 02:30:10,987
thinking of all the wrong I'd done to the sweetest
woman in the world that loved me so much!
2540
02:30:11,709 --> 02:30:12,781
It even got so I'd curse
myself for a lousy bastard
2541
02:30:13,381 --> 02:30:14,788
every time I saw
myself in the mirror!
2542
02:30:15,405 --> 02:30:17,525
I felt such pity for her
it drove me crazy!
2543
02:30:18,589 --> 02:30:20,061
You'd never believe
it, would you, Larry?
2544
02:30:20,638 --> 02:30:22,597
A guy like me that's knocked around so much
could feel such pity!
2545
02:30:26,430 --> 02:30:27,917
It got so
every night I'd...
2546
02:30:30,125 --> 02:30:34,461
wind up hiding my face in her lap,
bawling and begging for forgiveness.
2547
02:30:36,573 --> 02:30:38,485
Of course she'd always
comfort me and say:
2548
02:30:39,642 --> 02:30:43,103
"Never mind, Teddy,
I know you won't ever again."
2549
02:30:45,737 --> 02:30:47,341
Christ,
I loved her so.
2550
02:30:50,488 --> 02:30:52,452
But I began to hate
that pipe dream!
2551
02:30:53,931 --> 02:30:55,988
I began to think
I was going bughouse!
2552
02:30:56,717 --> 02:30:59,259
Because sometimes I couldn't
forgive her for forgiving me!
2553
02:31:00,224 --> 02:31:03,073
I even caught myself hating her
for making me hate myself so much!
2554
02:31:04,127 --> 02:31:06,928
You know, there's a limit to the guilt you can feel
and the forgiveness and pity you can take!
2555
02:31:07,422 --> 02:31:08,784
You have to begin blaming
somebody else, too!
2556
02:31:11,538 --> 02:31:13,020
It got so...
2557
02:31:14,422 --> 02:31:19,003
sometimes, when she'd kiss me,
it was like she was doing it on purpose...
2558
02:31:20,688 --> 02:31:22,616
to humiliate me...
2559
02:31:24,018 --> 02:31:26,154
as if she'd spit
in my face!
2560
02:31:27,206 --> 02:31:28,797
But I saw how crazy
and rotten that was of me!
2561
02:31:30,320 --> 02:31:33,026
And I just hated
myself more and more!
2562
02:31:34,597 --> 02:31:36,835
You'd never believe that I could
hate so much!
2563
02:31:37,945 --> 02:31:43,570
Ah, Larry? A good-natured,
happy-go-lucky... slob like me.
2564
02:31:47,515 --> 02:31:49,078
As the time got nearer to
when I was due to come here
2565
02:31:50,044 --> 02:31:52,817
for my drunk around Harry's
birthday, I got nearly crazy.
2566
02:31:54,209 --> 02:31:57,659
I kept swearing to her every night that this
time I really wouldn't, until I'd made it
2567
02:31:58,642 --> 02:32:00,232
a real final test
to myself and to her!
2568
02:32:01,055 --> 02:32:03,971
And she kept encouraging me and saying:
"I can see you really mean it now, Teddy."
2569
02:32:04,618 --> 02:32:06,424
"I know you'll conquer it this
time, and we'll be so happy."
2570
02:32:08,361 --> 02:32:10,611
And when she'd say
that, and kiss me...
2571
02:32:13,262 --> 02:32:14,979
I'd believe
it, too.
2572
02:32:17,181 --> 02:32:21,865
Then she'd go to bed,
and I'd stay up because I couldn't sleep.
2573
02:32:22,665 --> 02:32:26,816
And I didn't want to disturb her, rolling and
twisting around; I'd get so damned lonely!
2574
02:32:29,488 --> 02:32:31,650
I'd get to thinking
how peaceful it was here.
2575
02:32:32,678 --> 02:32:34,392
Sitting around with
the old gang, getting drunk
2576
02:32:34,817 --> 02:32:37,817
and forgetting about love; laughing and
singing and joking, and swapping lies.
2577
02:32:40,732 --> 02:32:43,583
And finally I knew
I had to come.
2578
02:32:45,163 --> 02:32:47,309
And I knew if I came this time,
it would be the finish!
2579
02:32:48,496 --> 02:32:49,920
Because I'd never have
the guts to go back
2580
02:32:50,477 --> 02:32:53,127
and be forgiven again! And that
would break Evelyn's heart.
2581
02:32:55,015 --> 02:32:56,301
Because to her
that would mean...
2582
02:32:58,059 --> 02:33:00,681
I didn't love
her any more.
2583
02:33:03,695 --> 02:33:07,738
That last night I'd driven myself crazy
trying to figure a way out for her.
2584
02:33:10,165 --> 02:33:11,971
I went into
the bedroom.
2585
02:33:13,729 --> 02:33:15,593
I was going to tell her
it was the end.
2586
02:33:16,498 --> 02:33:18,902
But I couldn't
do that to her.
2587
02:33:19,785 --> 02:33:21,681
She was sound asleep.
2588
02:33:22,608 --> 02:33:26,279
And I thought "God, if only she'd"
"never wake up, she'd never know."
2589
02:33:29,463 --> 02:33:31,551
And then it came to me.
2590
02:33:32,256 --> 02:33:35,302
The one possible way out,
for her sake.
2591
02:33:38,001 --> 02:33:39,548
I remembered I'd given
her a gun for protection
2592
02:33:40,153 --> 02:33:43,920
while I was away...
it was in the bureau drawer.
2593
02:33:47,173 --> 02:33:51,976
She'd never feel any pain, she'd
never wake up from her dream.
2594
02:33:54,286 --> 02:33:55,824
So I...
2595
02:33:58,247 --> 02:34:00,321
so I killed her.
2596
02:34:01,536 --> 02:34:03,268
I may as well
confess, Larry.
2597
02:34:04,251 --> 02:34:07,013
There's no use lying any more;
you know, anyway.
2598
02:34:09,550 --> 02:34:12,278
I didn't give a damn about the money,
it was because I hated her.
2599
02:34:15,653 --> 02:34:18,560
And then I saw that I'd always known
that was the only possible way
2600
02:34:19,152 --> 02:34:21,145
to give her peace, and free her
from the misery of loving me.
2601
02:34:22,883 --> 02:34:25,933
And I saw it meant peace for me,
too, knowing she was at peace.
2602
02:34:26,673 --> 02:34:29,207
I felt as though a ton of guilt
was lifted off my mind.
2603
02:34:30,000 --> 02:34:32,552
I remember I stood by the bed
and suddenly I had to laugh.
2604
02:34:33,161 --> 02:34:35,290
I couldn't help it, and I knew
Evelyn would forgive me!
2605
02:34:36,234 --> 02:34:37,749
I remember I heard
myself speaking to her,
2606
02:34:38,332 --> 02:34:40,032
as though it was something that
I'd always wanted to say:
2607
02:34:41,152 --> 02:34:46,101
"Well, you know what you can do with your
pipe dream now," "you damned bitch!"
2608
02:34:55,952 --> 02:34:57,816
No!
I never... Yes, yes, that's it!
2609
02:34:58,488 --> 02:35:00,953
Her and that damned Movement pipe dream!
Eh, Larry? No, that's a lie!
2610
02:35:01,602 --> 02:35:03,221
Good God, I could
have never said that!
2611
02:35:03,779 --> 02:35:05,132
If I had, I'd have
gone insane!
2612
02:35:05,798 --> 02:35:07,651
Why, I loved Evelyn better
than anything in life!
2613
02:35:08,713 --> 02:35:10,106
Boys, you're
all my old pals!
2614
02:35:10,810 --> 02:35:12,139
You've known old
Hickey for years!
2615
02:35:12,715 --> 02:35:13,987
You know that
I could never...
2616
02:35:14,545 --> 02:35:17,196
Harry! Harry, you've known me
longer than anybody else!
2617
02:35:17,753 --> 02:35:20,022
You know that I must have been
insane! Don't you, Governor?
2618
02:35:20,654 --> 02:35:22,551
Who the hell cares?
2619
02:35:24,135 --> 02:35:25,437
"Insane?"
2620
02:35:25,987 --> 02:35:27,553
You mean you went really insane?
Yes!
2621
02:35:28,147 --> 02:35:29,981
Or I couldn't have laughed! I
couldn't have said that to her!
2622
02:35:30,517 --> 02:35:31,586
That's enough,
Hickman!
2623
02:35:32,005 --> 02:35:33,521
You know who we are,
you're under arrest.
2624
02:35:34,754 --> 02:35:36,601
Come along and spill your guts where...
Don't touch me!
2625
02:35:37,199 --> 02:35:40,537
You owe me a break! I phoned and made it
easy for you, didn't I? Just a few minutes!
2626
02:35:41,205 --> 02:35:43,134
Harry, you know I couldn't say
that to Evelyn, don't you?
2627
02:35:43,663 --> 02:35:45,349
Unless...
And you've been crazy ever since?
2628
02:35:46,222 --> 02:35:48,648
Everything you've said and done here...
Now, Governor!
2629
02:35:49,230 --> 02:35:50,506
Up to your
old tricks, eh?
2630
02:35:51,093 --> 02:35:52,234
I see what you're
driving at, but I ca...
2631
02:36:09,036 --> 02:36:10,769
Yes, of course,
Harry!
2632
02:36:11,780 --> 02:36:13,424
Ahh! I've been out of my mind ever since,
ever since I've been here!
2633
02:36:13,991 --> 02:36:15,424
You saw I was insane,
didn't you?
2634
02:36:16,111 --> 02:36:17,342
Can it! I've had
enough of your act.
2635
02:36:17,836 --> 02:36:18,940
Save it for the jury.
2636
02:36:19,521 --> 02:36:20,963
Now listen, you guys,
don't fall for his lies.
2637
02:36:21,592 --> 02:36:23,427
He's starting to get foxy now
and thinks he'll plead insanity.
2638
02:36:23,958 --> 02:36:25,263
But he can't
get away with that.
2639
02:36:25,789 --> 02:36:27,514
Bejees, you dumb dick!
2640
02:36:28,050 --> 02:36:29,718
You've got a crust trying
to tell us about Hickey.
2641
02:36:30,342 --> 02:36:32,723
We've known him for years,
and every one of us noticed
2642
02:36:33,210 --> 02:36:35,209
he was nutty the minute
he showed up here.
2643
02:36:35,705 --> 02:36:37,524
If you'd seen the damned-fool
things he made us do!
2644
02:36:38,107 --> 02:36:39,695
We only did
them because we...
2645
02:36:40,174 --> 02:36:43,617
because we, we hoped he'd come out of it,
if we kidded him along and humored him.
2646
02:36:44,249 --> 02:36:45,699
Ain't that right,
fellas?
2647
02:36:46,205 --> 02:36:47,973
That's right!
A fine bunch of rats!
2648
02:36:48,992 --> 02:36:50,958
Covering up for a dirty,
cold-blooded murderer!
2649
02:36:52,075 --> 02:36:53,463
Is that so?
2650
02:36:53,998 --> 02:36:55,513
Bejees, you know
the old story.
2651
02:36:56,331 --> 02:36:58,788
When Saint Patrick drove
the snakes out of Ireland,
2652
02:36:59,550 --> 02:37:01,759
they swam to New York
and joined the police force!
2653
02:37:05,270 --> 02:37:06,973
You stand up for your
rights, bejees, Hickey.
2654
02:37:07,574 --> 02:37:09,096
I've still got friends
at the Hall.
2655
02:37:09,824 --> 02:37:13,429
I'll have this guy back in uniform
pounding a beat, where the only graft
2656
02:37:13,995 --> 02:37:16,028
he'll get will be stealing
tin cans from the goats.
2657
02:37:18,377 --> 02:37:21,591
Listen, you cockeyed old bum!
For a plugged nickel I'd...
2658
02:37:23,408 --> 02:37:24,934
Come on, you.
Oh, I want to go, officer.
2659
02:37:25,522 --> 02:37:26,723
I can hardly
wait now.
2660
02:37:27,303 --> 02:37:28,824
I should have phoned you from
the house right afterwards.
2661
02:37:29,417 --> 02:37:30,859
It was a waste
of time coming here!
2662
02:37:31,439 --> 02:37:33,328
I've got to explain to Evelyn,
but I know she's forgiven me.
2663
02:37:33,855 --> 02:37:35,194
She knows
I was insane.
2664
02:37:35,629 --> 02:37:36,898
You've got me
all wrong, officer.
2665
02:37:37,435 --> 02:37:39,074
I want to go to
the chair.
2666
02:37:39,519 --> 02:37:40,865
Crap!
2667
02:37:41,376 --> 02:37:42,518
God, you're
a dumb dick!
2668
02:37:43,096 --> 02:37:44,745
Do you suppose I
give a damn about life now?
2669
02:37:45,443 --> 02:37:46,918
Why, you bone head.
2670
02:37:47,467 --> 02:37:50,751
I haven't got a single damned
lying hope or pipe dream left.
2671
02:37:58,716 --> 02:38:02,416
He's gone... poor
crazy son of a bitch.
2672
02:38:04,767 --> 02:38:06,360
Bejees, I need
a drink.
2673
02:38:07,092 --> 02:38:09,474
Maybe it'll have the
old kick now he's gone.
2674
02:38:11,061 --> 02:38:14,294
Yeah, boss, maybe
we can get drunk now.
2675
02:38:16,775 --> 02:38:19,109
I suppose you think I ought to make
those dicks take me away with Hickey.
2676
02:38:22,989 --> 02:38:24,510
How could I
prove it, Larry?
2677
02:38:28,587 --> 02:38:30,415
They'd think I was nutty
'cause she's still alive!
2678
02:38:35,057 --> 02:38:36,976
You're the only one who can
understand how guilty I am.
2679
02:38:38,205 --> 02:38:40,228
Because you know her, you know
what I've done to her.
2680
02:38:41,161 --> 02:38:43,438
You're the only one who can understand
that I'm much guiltier than he is.
2681
02:38:45,689 --> 02:38:48,659
That what I did is a much worse than murder
because she is dead, and yet she has to live!
2682
02:38:52,077 --> 02:38:55,413
For a little while... but she
can't live long in jail.
2683
02:38:56,895 --> 02:38:58,854
She loves her
freedom too much.
2684
02:39:04,506 --> 02:39:05,816
I can't kid myself
like Hickey...
2685
02:39:08,480 --> 02:39:10,431
that
she's at peace.
2686
02:39:15,006 --> 02:39:17,899
As long as she lives,
she'll never be able
2687
02:39:18,564 --> 02:39:21,035
to forget what I've done
to her, not even in her sleep.
2688
02:39:23,348 --> 02:39:26,554
She'll never have
a second's peace.
2689
02:39:36,534 --> 02:39:38,036
Jesus, Larry,
say something!
2690
02:39:42,919 --> 02:39:45,329
I'm not bluffing either
that I was crazy...
2691
02:39:46,726 --> 02:39:48,704
afterwards when I
laughed and thought to myself.
2692
02:39:49,457 --> 02:39:53,219
"You know what you can do with your freedom pipe
dream now, don't you, you damned old bitch."
2693
02:39:53,419 --> 02:39:53,583
Go!
2694
02:39:55,003 --> 02:39:58,789
Get the hell out of life, God damn you!
Before I choke it out of you!
2695
02:39:59,556 --> 02:40:00,921
Go up... go up!
2696
02:40:03,504 --> 02:40:06,205
Thanks, Larry!
2697
02:40:11,540 --> 02:40:13,427
I can see now that's the only
possible way I can ever get free from her.
2698
02:40:18,137 --> 02:40:19,663
She'll finally be able
to play the incorruptible.
2699
02:40:20,028 --> 02:40:22,870
Mother of the Revolution, whose
only child is a proletariat.
2700
02:40:26,654 --> 02:40:29,513
She'll be able to say "Justice is done!"
2701
02:40:30,290 --> 02:40:32,651
"So may all traitors die!"
She'll be able to say...
2702
02:40:36,754 --> 02:40:38,442
"I'm glad
he's dead!"
2703
02:40:40,627 --> 02:40:42,389
"Long live
the Revolution!"
2704
02:40:48,139 --> 02:40:49,932
You know her, Larry,
she's always a ham!
2705
02:40:50,754 --> 02:40:54,971
Go, for the love of Christ!
You mad tortured bastard, for your own sake!
2706
02:41:02,683 --> 02:41:05,018
Thanks, Larry,
that's kind.
2707
02:41:09,459 --> 02:41:13,546
I knew you were the only one who
could understand my side of it.
2708
02:41:23,429 --> 02:41:26,588
Hello, little Don,
little monkey-face!
2709
02:41:27,523 --> 02:41:29,666
Don't be a fool,
buy me a drink.
2710
02:41:32,235 --> 02:41:33,874
Sure I will,
Hugo.
2711
02:41:35,507 --> 02:41:37,316
Tomorrow, beneath
the willow trees.
2712
02:41:39,545 --> 02:41:42,482
Stupid fool! Hickey make
you crazy, too.
2713
02:41:56,441 --> 02:42:00,442
I'm glad, Larry, they take that
crazy Hickey away to asylum.
2714
02:42:02,466 --> 02:42:04,691
He makes me
have bad dreams.
2715
02:42:05,484 --> 02:42:07,387
He makes me tell
lies about myself.
2716
02:42:08,122 --> 02:42:10,084
He makes me want to spit
on all I've ever dreamed.
2717
02:42:10,739 --> 02:42:12,689
Yes, I'm glad they
take him to asylum!
2718
02:42:19,991 --> 02:42:21,825
Bejees, it's good to hear
someone laugh again.
2719
02:42:23,624 --> 02:42:28,406
All the time that bastar... Eh... poor old
Hickey was here, I didn't have the heart...
2720
02:42:30,894 --> 02:42:32,594
Bejees, I'm getting drunk
and glad of it!
2721
02:42:34,344 --> 02:42:36,045
Come on, fellas,
it's on the house!
2722
02:42:44,615 --> 02:42:46,881
Christ!
Why don't he?
2723
02:42:48,996 --> 02:42:50,422
"Why don't he"
what?
2724
02:42:51,110 --> 02:42:52,971
Ah, don't be a fool,
Hickey's gone!
2725
02:42:53,791 --> 02:42:56,673
He was crazy!
Here, have a drink.
2726
02:42:59,515 --> 02:43:01,476
What's the matter
with you, Larry?
2727
02:43:02,421 --> 02:43:04,152
You look funny.
2728
02:43:05,781 --> 02:43:07,941
What do you listen for
out in backyard?
2729
02:43:09,656 --> 02:43:12,021
Imagine us goin' off like we
really meant to get married,
2730
02:43:13,317 --> 02:43:15,649
when we ain't even
picked out the farm yet!
2731
02:43:17,721 --> 02:43:19,937
Sure thing, baby! We
kidded him we was serious.
2732
02:43:21,382 --> 02:43:25,816
I may as well say, though, I detected
his condition almost at once! Yeah.
2733
02:43:26,822 --> 02:43:29,328
All that talk of his
about tomorrow, for example.
2734
02:43:32,360 --> 02:43:34,061
What's the matter,
Larry?
2735
02:43:35,397 --> 02:43:37,012
You look scared!
2736
02:43:37,595 --> 02:43:39,116
What you listen for
out there?
2737
02:43:39,884 --> 02:43:41,099
No, sir.
2738
02:43:42,691 --> 02:43:46,390
I wasn't fool enough to get in no crap game,
not while Hickey's around.
2739
02:43:47,035 --> 02:43:48,781
The crazy people
put a jinx on you!
2740
02:43:51,804 --> 02:43:56,571
It was of no good trying to explain to a
crazy guy, but it ain't the right time!
2741
02:43:57,355 --> 02:44:01,105
Hey! You know how
getting reinstated is.
2742
02:44:01,908 --> 02:44:03,494
Bejees,
I'm cockeyed!
2743
02:44:05,007 --> 02:44:07,196
Bejees, you're
all cockeyed!
2744
02:44:07,916 --> 02:44:09,696
And bejees, we're
all all right!
2745
02:44:10,497 --> 02:44:12,613
Let's have another.
2746
02:44:15,673 --> 02:44:17,765
What's the matter,
Larry?
2747
02:44:18,544 --> 02:44:20,395
Why you keep
eyes shut?
2748
02:44:21,415 --> 02:44:24,047
Huff!
You look dead!
2749
02:44:25,617 --> 02:44:27,655
What you listen for
in backyard?
2750
02:44:29,165 --> 02:44:32,424
You crazy fool!
You give me bad dreams, too!
2751
02:44:33,419 --> 02:44:35,509
Hello there,
Hugo!
2752
02:44:40,107 --> 02:44:42,052
Welcome
to the party!
2753
02:44:43,088 --> 02:44:45,361
Yes, bejees, Hugo!
Sit down, have a drink!
2754
02:44:46,065 --> 02:44:47,815
Have ten
drinks, bejees!
2755
02:44:49,949 --> 02:44:51,977
Hello, little Harry!
Goddamned stupid bourgeois!
2756
02:44:52,844 --> 02:44:55,568
Soon comes
the Day of Judgment!
2757
02:44:58,587 --> 02:45:00,240
Give me
ten drinks, Harry.
2758
02:45:00,722 --> 02:45:02,205
Don't be a fool!
2759
02:45:02,870 --> 02:45:04,827
Gangway for two
good whores!
2760
02:45:07,131 --> 02:45:08,791
Yeah! And we want
a drink, quick!
2761
02:45:09,424 --> 02:45:11,448
Yeah, yeah! Shake the lead
outta your pants, pimp!
2762
02:45:12,290 --> 02:45:14,908
A little service, eh?
Well, look who's here!
2763
02:45:15,823 --> 02:45:17,960
Hello there,
sweethearts.
2764
02:45:18,826 --> 02:45:22,067
Jees, I was beginnin' to
worry about you, honest!
2765
02:45:22,888 --> 02:45:24,679
Yeah? What kind
of gag is this?
2766
02:45:25,353 --> 02:45:26,837
Come on and join
the party, you broads!
2767
02:45:27,458 --> 02:45:28,755
Bejees, I'm glad
to see you!
2768
02:45:29,338 --> 02:45:31,079
Hey, what? Come on!
What's come off here?
2769
02:45:31,543 --> 02:45:32,716
Where's that
louse, Hickey?
2770
02:45:33,224 --> 02:45:34,679
Oh, the cops got him.
2771
02:45:35,118 --> 02:45:36,820
He's gone crazy
and croaked his wife.
2772
02:45:37,600 --> 02:45:38,887
Oh, Jees!
2773
02:45:39,512 --> 02:45:41,042
So forget about
that whore stuff.
2774
02:45:41,611 --> 02:45:44,292
I'll knock the block off
if anyone calls you whores.
2775
02:45:45,379 --> 02:45:47,756
That's our little bartender!Ain't he, Pearl?
Yeah, and a cute little Ginny at that!
2776
02:45:48,292 --> 02:45:50,526
And is he stinko!
2777
02:45:53,450 --> 02:45:55,128
Stinko is right, but he ain't
got nothin' on us!
2778
02:45:56,065 --> 02:45:57,725
Jees, Rocky, did we have
a big time at Coney!
2779
02:45:58,937 --> 02:46:00,643
Bejees, sit down,
you dumb whores!
2780
02:46:01,388 --> 02:46:03,040
Welcome home,
have a drink.
2781
02:46:03,615 --> 02:46:05,156
Have ten drinks,
bejees!
2782
02:46:05,745 --> 02:46:07,289
Bejees, this
is all right!
2783
02:46:07,808 --> 02:46:09,696
We'll make this my birthday
party, and forget the other.
2784
02:46:10,718 --> 02:46:13,151
But who's missing?
Where's the Old Wise Guy?
2785
02:46:13,914 --> 02:46:15,639
Where's Larry?
2786
02:46:16,732 --> 02:46:18,826
Oh, over by
the window, boss.
2787
02:46:19,388 --> 02:46:21,602
Ah?
He's got his eyes shut!
2788
02:46:22,250 --> 02:46:25,408
The old bastard's asleep!
Oh, to hell with him!
2789
02:46:26,235 --> 02:46:28,521
Let's have a drink.
2790
02:46:30,793 --> 02:46:33,451
It's the only way
out for him.
2791
02:46:35,348 --> 02:46:37,885
For the peace of all
concerned, as Hickey said.
2792
02:46:40,827 --> 02:46:43,464
God damn his yellow soul!
2793
02:46:43,734 --> 02:46:45,948
If he doesn't soon, I'll
go up and throw him off...
2794
02:46:47,136 --> 02:46:50,214
like a dog with its guts ripped out
that you'd put out of its misery!
2795
02:47:13,258 --> 02:47:15,865
What the hell was that?
What the hell was that?
2796
02:47:16,643 --> 02:47:18,840
Something fell off
the fire escape.
2797
02:47:19,783 --> 02:47:21,760
A mattress,
I'll bet!
2798
02:47:22,310 --> 02:47:26,227
Some of these bums have been
sleepin' on the fire escape!
2799
02:47:27,128 --> 02:47:28,716
There ain't no...
They've got to cut it out!
2800
02:47:29,314 --> 02:47:32,697
Bejees, this, this, this
ain't no... fresh-air cure.
2801
02:47:33,671 --> 02:47:35,417
Mattresses
cost money.
2802
02:47:36,511 --> 02:47:38,814
Poor devil!
2803
02:47:41,145 --> 02:47:43,558
God rest his soul
in peace.
2804
02:47:57,284 --> 02:48:00,679
I'll never be a success in the
grandstand or anywhere else.
2805
02:48:01,892 --> 02:48:04,406
Life is too much for me.
2806
02:48:05,365 --> 02:48:10,006
I'll be a weak fool, looking with pity at the
two sides of everything 'till the day I die,
2807
02:48:10,720 --> 02:48:13,166
and may that day
come soon!
2808
02:48:15,164 --> 02:48:18,480
I'm the only real convert
to death that Hickey made here.
2809
02:48:20,138 --> 02:48:23,890
From the bottom of my coward's
heart, I mean that now.
2810
02:48:25,806 --> 02:48:30,087
Hey there, Larry! Come on
over and get paralyzed!
2811
02:48:30,880 --> 02:48:33,236
What the hell you
doing, sitting there?
2812
02:48:34,069 --> 02:48:36,560
Bejees, let's sing,
let's celebrate!
2813
02:48:37,214 --> 02:48:39,142
Bejees, it's
my birthday party!
2814
02:48:39,660 --> 02:48:43,489
Bejees, I'm oreyeyed!
I want to sing!
2815
02:48:44,855 --> 02:48:48,716
* Every Sunday down to her home we go *
2816
02:48:48,916 --> 02:48:54,065
* All the boys and all the
girls they love her so *
2817
02:48:54,856 --> 02:48:59,638
* Always jolly heart
that is true I know *
2818
02:49:00,344 --> 02:49:05,637
* She is the Sunshine
of Paradise Alley *
