Original subtitles

I've always been your friend.

Sure, you taught us how to cheat, steal and kill.

And then you lammed out on us.

Yeah, if it hadn't been for you,

we might have been on the level.

Sure, we might have been ding-dings on a streetcar.

There ain't no one here but him.

Yeah, I thought so.

Why, you dirty double-crossing...

Tuesday at five, old "King Kong."

I've already got that one.

"Dracula's Daughter," 1:15.

I can't make that one.

Sleepin'...Huh, Taylor and Hawk

The companies nowadays,

they just don't make these kinda movies anymore.

I gotta see it again,

Barry Bogart in that bookstore.

What are squawking about?

You got plenty more coming.

What you gonna do?

"Hooray for Madness" on 52.

Seen that twice.

I think that's enough of that one.

That's the one, "99 River Street" with John Payne.

I don't wanna die.

I should tape that one.

Oh, so you don't wanna die.

Oh, Tommy, don't you remember, you and Matt,

how you used to be just kids and we were friends?

You won't let him, Matt.

I'll do anything for you from now on.

Ain't you got a heart, Matty boy?

Don't you remember how I used to play to you,

and didn't I always stick up for you?

I ain't got this coming.

Please, Matt, Matt, don't let him, don't.

I ain't a bad fella, really.

Oh, Tommy, Tommy, don't, ain't you got a heart?

Get over there.

I want that gold.

If you can't bring in one, bring in the other.

Eric.

I'll bring you both.

Leave it to me, kid.

Come on, Matt, take a leg.

Well, look here, Mr. Smart fell asleep

with his nose buried in the screen again.

One-eyed monster's gonna wreck his eyes,

much less soften his brain.

You spend all your time daydreaming

watching those silly movies.

I didn't ask if you had any left,

I asked you if you got a drink.

I know, Tom, but, yeah, I wish that--

There you go with that wishing stuff again.

I wish you was a wishing well,

so that I could tie a bucket to you and sink ya.

Good morning.

Have you looked at yourself lately?

You look like hell.

Stop making those faces.

Let me tell you something.

If you don't listen to me

and start taking care of yourself, you'll never reach 30.

When I took you in

after your sweet mother died giving birth to you,

I had no idea you'd be such a trial.

Your mother was beautiful, she was a great talent.

Hollywood was at her feet.

Important men were begging to marry her.

When she met your father, that bastard,

it was the end of our dance team.

You know, I was a fine dancer, the best.

Oh, Ma, you're the greatest dancer alive, magnificent.

And you, you made me leave that part,

you little belly acher.

If it weren't for you, I'd still have my legs.

I didn't ask the sitter to call, I was sick--

Shut up!

Jesus Christ, I was four years old--

I said shut up!

You're worthless, just like your father was.

Yeah, I know!

I wish you would eat your breakfast

the way you devour those tapes.

Brain food is what you need, not escapist trash.

You know, you talk too much.

One of these days, you're gonna eat these words, Stella.

Wipe that smirk off your face.

That grapefruit's a tonic, it provides vitamin C

without the acid, listen to me for a change.

Now where are you going?

Sit back down, eat your breakfast.

You can't go to work on an empty stomach.

Have a nice day, Auntie.

Why don't you live in the real world with the rest of us?

No thanks.

If you're so smart, Stella,

tell me what James Cagney's name was in "White Heat?"

I don't know and I don't give a damn.

Arthur Cody Jarrett, that's who.

Stop filling your head with all that useless trivia.

Top of the world, Ma!

I'm not your mother, it's Aunt Stella, birdbrain.

This place, it reminds me of "Big House,"

1930, Broderick Crawford, Lon Chaney Jr.,

Charlie Bronson.

Men who got men in cages,

what an outrage it is.

I need reels.

Eric, Berger wants those spots.

Sid, what the hell are you talking about?

Now look, these ads were delivered yesterday afternoon.

Come on, cut it out.

Look, my kid delivered them at two o'clock.

All right, Sid, okay.

Just pay your bill

and we'll deliver you another batch.

Hey look, mistakes happen.

Okay, Sid, that's fine with me.

You shmuck!

Binford, you're a fuckup.

You didn't deliver to Sid Fine yesterday afternoon.

Mr. Berger, I told you that the one sheets weren't ready,

- printout was delayed-- - Bullshit!

And you're late again.

Now look, you deliver this stuff.

And your late time is coming out of your paycheck.

That's if you last a week.

Now get outta here!

Mr. Berger, could I have a couple of dollars, please?

Couple of bucks, what for?

I have to put some gas in the Vespa.

What the hell are you talking about?

The Vespa's already gassed up.

No, it's not and I lost the petty cash.

You lost the petty?

I am trying to run a business here.

That's also coming out of your paycheck.

Now please, get out of my life, will you?

Here's a list of the juvenile offenders

you're gonna meet first.

Bunch of real beauties, should all be locked up.

The judge handed them over to you.

Well, by giving them jobs

to pay back their debt to society,

it makes a hell of a lot more sense than jailing them

at the taxpayer's expense, wouldn't you say?

Bullshit.

Captain, they're still waiting for you at roll call.

I'll prove that to you.

All right, Rogers, I'll be right there.

Okay.

What?

I said I'll prove it to you.

Listen, I'm required to give you some space,

and you got about six months to make this whole thing work.

How do you plan on doing that?

First of all, by gaining their trust.

Oh, I like that, I like that, gain their confidence,

and we nail 'em with the information you get, right?

No way, Gallagher, my material's strictly confidential.

I know half of it is.

Anne, you wanna come in here, please?

You know, Moriarty, for an Irishman,

you got a real thick skull.

Anne Oshenbull, Dr. Moriarty.

- How do you do? - Oh.

I've heard a lot about you.

Where?

Never mind, never mind.

Just show him to his office, will you?

Oh, incidentally, Irish,

we're a little short on parking space.

That's okay, Captain, I ride a bike.

Oh Jesus, conservation kook on top of everything.

Are you another cop that doesn't believe in my program?

I don't know enough about it yet.

Well, at least you're willing to give me a chance,

which is more than Gallagher.

Gallagher's all right.

He's just trying to be a tougher cop than his dad was.

Yeah, what happened to his dad?

He got shot to death by some doped-up kid in a dark alley.

Well, here's your new home.

It used to be the drunk tank.

Not exactly a place to counsel

San Francisco housewives, is it?

How'd you know about that?

Oh, I know everything about you, Dr. Moriarty.

It's all in your file.

Oh, anything incriminating?

No, no, the FBI finally closed their political file

on you, but your personal file was fascinating.

Oh, yeah, what did it say?

Well, let's just say that it was definitely

interesting enough for me to wanna meet you.

Now here you are,

in the flesh.

Marilyn, first it was the Scarsdale Diet

and now it's jogging, you get into every fad.

When in Rome.

Besides, I've gotta get in shape.

I'll never be a model with these thighs.

Oh, not that again.

Listen, I wanna be somebody.

I wanna get treated with a little respect for once.

Well, you've got a lot of guys.

Oh, sure, when their girlfriends are outta town.

Well, at least you have an interesting job.

Extremely, handing out roller skates,

a fate only worse than death.

Everyone back home in Australia

would think I was a big flop or something.

Oh look, would you stop worrying about it?

Listen, I've had enough, I'm hungry.

Let's pig out.

All right.

Rotterdam and Schenectady...

Here he is.

Hey, Binford, settle this, will you?

What was the fat man's name in "The Maltese Falcon?"

That's easy.

Okay, okay, what is it?

What do you give me?

Hey, come on, man, we ain't got all day, what was it?

It was Kasper Gutman.

- You got lucky. - Listen,

I got one for you guys.

Only it's gonna cost you money this time.

Yeah, which is the bit?

"Casablanca."

Yeah, I know that film backwards and forwards.

- I've seen it 50 times. - Great.

Only you gotta come up with the answer

in 48 hours or you pay me

All right, no sweat.

But what do we get if we get it right?

I'll give you 50.

I think it's a trick.

No, no, no, wait, wait.

Only no fair looking at the print

or reading the script in the meantime.

Hey, you know I know that film better than anybody,

you sure this isn't a sucker bet, Binford?

It's no tricks, the answer's in the film.

So put up or shut up.

It's a deal.

It's a lot of dough, but it's a deal.

All right?

What was Rick's full name?

You mean Rick who owns the Cafe Americain?

No.

- The bald guy character? - Yeah.

It's a cinch.

Hey man, I got it on the end of my tongue, it's...

Take your time, Richie.

Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.

I know it like I know my own name.

Hey, forget it, man, Binford is,

he's sick in the head, he's like retarded or something.

- We made a bet, right? - Yeah, yeah.

Forget it, a bet's a bet, he's gonna pay us.

He's certainly a low-class production.

Man, he's a space case or something, he's a real asshole.

How about the usual, Eric?

Two chocolate donuts, hotdog with the works,

fries, large Coke?

You know, I went to high school

with this girl who looked exactly Lana Turner.

I always sorta felt like she looked down on me.

Well, anyway, she went to Hollywood to be a big star.

What happened to her?

She killed herself because she didn't make it big.

Really.

That won't happen to me, don't worry.

Yeah well, it better not.

Ew, what's this piece of grunge?

Okay look, no more advice.

As of this minute, you're on your own.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday, dear Eric ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Now he's sliding down to me.

Stare at him

Don't be cruel, he looks sweet.

- Are you an actress? - No.

It's amazing, you look exactly like--

We know, we know.

Everybody says that.

I'm sorry, I just wanted to meet you.

I'm a great admirer.

Au chante, I'm Marilyn O'Connor.

What are you doing?

Cut it out, he's kinda cute.

What was the name of the movie

that Tom Ewell took you to see in "Seven Year Itch?"

I forgot, is it famous?

It's a horror movie.

Oh, lemme think.

Don't encourage him.

I'll give you a clue.

He was green and slimy.

Oh my god.

"Frankenstein."

"The Werewolf?"

Now you're just guessing.

Who the hell cares?

It was "The Creature from the Black Lagoon," stupid.

Now you've hurt his feelings.

Hey, hey, hey, how did you know that?

That's great.

I go to a lot of movies, it's my thing.

Really?

I love movies.

Could you give me a lift back to work?

Are you serious?

Just watch me.

How about it?

I have two wheels, not four.

Fabulous.

Bye, Stacy.

Keep the change, I'll catch you later.

You know, I once went to three movies

every day for a year and I never missed once.

You're lucky.

In my town in the Australian outback,

this man would come round in a truck

and share the same two movies over and over again.

What were they?

"Marry Poppins" and "The Sound of Music."

You're a big Julie Andrews fan, huh?

The only overdose of Julie.

Well, someday I'm gonna own my own movie theater.

And I'm gonna show whatever film I want whenever I want.

- And you can come. - Good.

Where do you live?

In Venice.

With your parents?

Well, sort of, not really, no.

Do you stay in touch with your folks much?

I never knew mine.

My father was a drover at 12.

That's a sheep herder, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

How'd you know that?

I saw it in "The Sundowners" with Robert Mitchum.

Oh, thanks, you're a darling. Bye.

See you in the movies.

Okay, when?

How about tonight?

Sure, where?

Ships Westwood at eight o'clock.

Fab. What movie will we see?

That's a surprise.

Ooh, bye.

Bye.

Hi, Anne.

Boy, that wore me out.

The damage to the building,

to human life, is estimated in the millions.

I saw the explosion, just disintegrated into air,

going that way towards--

- Look at this clown. - Back that way north.

Kinda reminds me of Gallagher.

Gallagher is an okay guy,

he just doesn't agree with your methods, that's all.

Yeah, well, that's easy for you to say, Anne,

you know, you're a cop.

I'm not a cop, he won't listen to me.

To him, I'm some throwback to the hippie wars.

But people hate anything that's different.

Listen, I had a partner and he refused to get

into the patrol car with me because I'm a woman.

You know what he said?

He said he didn't join the snatch squad.

- Oh, the "snatch squad," eh? - Yeah.

That's real cute, isn't it?

Why did you join the force?

For the money.

No, I joined because, listen, it's like you said,

you know, last week, a girl in San Diego picked a rifle up,

she killed her neighbors, and claims she saw it on TV.

That's what I'm talking about.

How about the teenager who stabbed his friend 22 times

and said it wasn't like on television,

the knife only went in a little ways?

The couple was shot and killed causing a two-car collision

at the central off-ramp of the Glendale freeway.

It just bugs me, I'm obsessed with the subject

and it freaks me out because we're planting

these crazy images inside of these children's heads.

11 o'clock news, please stay tuned

for "Stagecoach" starring John Wayne.

The 1979-- - You really use this thing?

Yeah.

It makes a big bang.

I never fucked a cop before.

We're out of quarters again.

I'm sorry, there was this long line

of freaked out New Yorkers at the taco stand

acting like they never saw a burrito before.

God, I could've killed them.

Hi Marilyn, how you doing?

Okay, how are you?

Good.

Oh, Marilyn, a special delivery package came for you,

I put it under the counter.

Must be from a wealthy fan.

Oh yeah, big spender,

those are selling for two bucks on the pier.

Wonder who's jealous.

Big cynic, I love it.

Is that any way to treat a soldier?

But I'm telling you, Chief.

Never give a sucker an even break

and always keep an eye a pal.

Remember that.

Well, you're looking tres elegante.

Thanks, my dear.

You even cleaned up your room.

Are you sure feel all right?

Certainly, my dear.

I have a most important date

with a most important young lady.

I'm Greta Garbo if you're Cary Grant.

You're absolutely correct, my dear, absolutely correct.

Who is this young lady?

Miss Marilyn Monroe.

Sorry, darling, must dash.

Oh, hey, Aunt Stella,

may I have a small loan

at the usual rate of interest, please?

On one condition,

that you come straight home right after the movie.

I want my back rub tonight.

They tell me that dreams reveal quite a bit

about a person's inner secrets.

Oh no, I have these horrible nightmares

about losing my makeup.

What does that mean?

I don't know.

I had a dream about photographing Marilyn Monroe last night.

How did it go?

I don't know, the proofs haven't been developed yet.

Oh stop.

Excuse me, what time is it, please?

It's about nine o'clock.

Thank you.

Sure.

Where is she, Hoppy?

What do you say we go over to my studio?

It's just around the corner.

Excuse me.

Do you mind if we have some dessert?

No, you can have anything you want.

Marilyn, I...

I need money for popcorn.

- I won't have any left. - One dollar.

Excuse me, hi.

I'm sorry, I thought you were somebody else.

Excuse me, did you see a blonde girl

about my height looking for somebody?

She has big red lips and real blonde hair.

I like your tie!

Look at that.

I forgot, I was supposed to meet this guy

in Westwood hours ago.

Come on.

Look, I've gotta go.

What's the matter, don't you like men?

Don't flatter yourself.

Keep the change.

Excuse me, do you know what time the next bus is, please?

I wait for no bus, I'm working.

Work at night, huh?

Where do you work? Where are you headed?

Oh, shut up, will you, numbnuts?

I'm trying to hitch a ride on my back, get it?

I have 10 bucks, what about me?

10 bucks, for what, cat food?

Get lost.

Hope you freeze your balls off, if you got any.

Go to hell.

You think a squealer

could get away from me, huh?

You know what I do to squealers?

I let 'em have it in the belly,

so they can roll around for a long time thinking it over.

You're worse than him.

Telling me he's coming back?

Ya lying old hag.

Come home late at night, in time for dinner.

Where'd he go to?

How would I know?

Uptown, downtown...

Eric, come outta there!

Let me go, no!

If you don't open up, I'm going to use the key!

On a train, huh?

No, no!

Valentine, I can't move!

Eric, you're hopeless, what is this?

You can't stay in here forever, this isn't a charity ward.

Either you go to work, you eat,

or you can find yourself another place to live!

This is final, watching movies again,

spending all your money on films!

Aunt Stella, this is the best part, please--

Movies, movies, movies!

Jesus Christ!

I'm sorry.

I said I'm sorry!

Look at this place, this is room is a disgrace.

Eric, come in here now!

Damn thing, Eric, get in here now.

Get in here right now! Eric!

Eric, I have had it with you.

I want you to get rid of all this stuff, do you hear me?

Move it!

You ruined it, you ruin everything.

I said move it, move it!

I can't stop the chair, Eric, Eric!

Eric, I can't stop the chair!

Eric, help!

Eric, Eric, oh, oh!

20th Century Fox presents "Kiss of Death,"

starring Victor Mature,

Brian Donlevy, Coleen Gray.

With Richard Widmark, Taylor Holmes,

Howard Smith,

Karl Malden.

What do we do?

I've gotta call an ambulance.

Stella Binford led a life of piety

and quiet Christian charity that touched all who knew her.

Generous to a fault, both to her friends,

loved ones, and to her church.

We commit her spirit to the Almighty,

and pray for her eternal salvation.

That her wandrous soul may find peace

in heaven as it did on Earth, amen.

I'm sorry, Eric, but there was just

no room next to Miss Monroe's crypt.

But that's where I wanted her, Reverend.

Well, there are other nice sites.

That's fine, thank you.

Come, come, walk with me.

Now, here are the ashes, why don't you take them home?

Live with them for a couple of days.

There's no hurry, you have plenty of time to decide.

Say, till Friday, okay?

I really have got to go

because I've got to service another funeral,

I have a christening,

and I have a wedding, in fact it's a double ceremony.

But if there's anything that you need, my boy,

you call me, okay.

But preferably before six.

Oh, Eric, I'll see you tomorrow, now,

at your aunt's memorial service?

No, I don't believe in God.

Well, God still believes in you, Eric.

Here's to your good health,

Aunt Stella.

Oh, Eric, you're still here.

I thought maybe you'd moved because of your aunt's,

you know, the name change and...

Listen, I'm really sorry.

I don't know what you're talking about.

The name is Jarrett, you got it?

Cody Jarrett.

Strange bird.

Watch this,

- this'll make you sick-- - Shh!

Drunk again.

Drinking alone.

I only wanted your autograph.

Listen to the children of the night.

Oh, what lovely music they make.

I believe we've met before, my child.

What's your act anyway?

Not that I care.

Are you engaged this evening?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

As a matter of fact, I'm late to another appointment,

but maybe some other time.

Hey, there's Binford.

Let's get on his case.

Sure, good deal.

Hey, Binford.

Take a look at this.

- Leave him alone. - So what?

Paper says there was 100 Draculas

at that marathon last night.

Where were you?

Were you there, huh, huh?

- Huh? - Cut it out!

What are you gonna do, you little baby, huh?

He does nothing.

You little shithead.

Come on, man, let's make it, we're late!

Hey, you guys!

You owe me 40 bucks.

For what?

The "Casablanca" bet, remember?

Rick's last name.

No, Eric, we still have time for that.

Yeah, till tomorrow.

Tomorrow was last week, I want my money.

Eric, forget it.

What are you looking at?

What are you looking at, you creep?

Eric, you keep messing with me and I'm gonna kick your ass.

I'm sorry, Binford, anything you know

ain't the worth the price of admission.

Bet you didn't know what Adolf Hitler's

favorite movie was.

"Broadway Melody," I bet you didn't know that.

And what about "Cry of Battle" and "War is hell?"

Where were they playing, huh?

At the Texas Theater where they caught Oswald

the day he shot Kennedy.

I bet you didn't know that!

It was a double bill, you shit.

Why, El Toro ain't been this side

of the border in five years.

Here comes Bill Cassidy.

What's going on here?

You're headed for trouble and I'm stringing along.

This is something personal, Johnny,

I got a job to do.

Come on, you can do it, come on.

Come on, let's try this.

I used to be good at this.

What do I get?

You win a piggy.

How much is this one?

Two balls for 50 cents.

Two balls for 50 cents, I'll be right back.

Oh, sure.

Look at this, this is great, let's play this game.

Hey man, I don't wanna play these games all night.

Don't you wanna get laid?

Well sure.

This place is crawling with cooze.

Let's go check it out.

That's what you said about this place, you know.

You gonna bust my chops all night long?

I'm not gonna bust your chops.

But you know, that's what you said, you know?

The night is young, let's do it.

Alright.

Give me that thing.

We ain't gonna pick nothing up with all this shit.

You won it.

What'd you do that for?

It's what I'd like to do to Binford,

the guy really bothers me.

Hey Jack, where you hiding all the pussy, man?

Las Vegas, I lived there for four years.

Las Vegas, we ain't gonna go to Las Vegas.

I feel like a moron, carrying this damn teddy bear

up and down this pier.

Ah, keep it, man.

The broads eat that shit up, are you kidding?

If they eat this shit up,

then why don't you carry it for a while, okay?

What's that noise anyway?

Oh my gosh, looks like somebody's celebrating Halloween

a little early this year, huh?

Hey no, man, that's William Boyd.

Friend of yours?

Nah, this is the famous Hopalong Cassidy, right?

Well, I think he's calling you out.

Hopalong Cassidy.

Whoa, look at this.

What? You wanna play games?

This is some toy you got here, Hoppy.

Make your move, hombre.

Oh, I think he's crazy.

Oh, you wanna go a round?

Draw.

Start dancing, cowboy.

Come on, man, what are you doing?

Come on, Richie, he's crazy!

- Come on! - Hey wait.

- Richie, come on. - What are you doing?

Come on, Richie!

Say your prayers.

Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm sorry.

What are you doing, man?

Take it easy, please.

On your knees!

What are you doing?

Both knees.

Jeez, I didn't do anything to you.

Get down.

- Why are you doing this? - Get down.

How does it feel now, Richie?

Binford.

You think the cops suspect me of killing Richie?

Even though I was his best friend?

Cops are paid to suspect everybody and catch no one.

Gallagher's just another flat foot.

What about that Moriarty character and his test?

It's just a bunch of stupid questions.

They even had Mr. Berger in here last night.

And he's a nervous wreck,

and he's gotta go into the hospital next week

for his operation.

What operation?

Bypass operation, his heart's worse, man.

I didn't think he had one.

How are they gonna find Richie's killer?

Bart, if you can't identify him, who can?

See ya.

You know, that Binford kid was a little strange.

Yeah? He seemed harmless enough.

Moriarty, what the hell are you trying to pull?

We question all those CFS employees very carefully,

normal police procedure.

Now, who the hell gave you the authority to test them?

I cooked up this questionnaire

to help flush out a suspect.

Flush, that's exactly the right word

for the way I'm feeling about your actions.

For your information, this is the only

real fucking piece of evidence that we have.

I don't agree.

Captain Gallagher, Moriarty's really got something here.

Three of them tilted red.

Eric Binford, Maria Valdez, Herman Briggs.

Maria Valdez, the broad in the shipping department

is a killer?

Oh, that's terrific.

Thank you very much, Sherlock.

Also, the newspapers think there is a link

between the Dracula murder and this cowboy caper.

One of the victims was a stockboy

in an advertising firm, the other's a hooker.

Now where's the connection?

It's obvious, we've got to stop

this killer from further - We?

- acting out his fantasy. - Hey, we?

Where the hell did you join the police force?

Just trying to help out, Captain.

Now listen, I don't need

any of your psycho tests to help me find a killer.

And just in case you didn't notice,

nobody's asking for your help.

So knock it off!

Captain, I know the human mind, especially the sick ones.

Well, fuck the mind, okay.

Keep your nose out of police business.

You know, Orchenbaum, I can't stand stupidity.

Jerry, it's Oshenbull.

Just tell him to call me.

Hop in, fella.

I'll check with you later.

Thanks a lot.

Where are you headed?

Venice, near the pier.

- This is beautiful. - Thanks.

- Is this an Auburn? - Yeah.

What year?

'34.

Are all these scripts yours?

Yeah, I used to be an actor, now I'm a producer.

I'm in the film business too.

Really?

I have this idea for a movie.

You wouldn't be interested, would you?

Sure, maybe I can help you.

Thanks.

You are the Gary Bially, aren't you?

Yeah.

You produced "The Big Rip-Off," right?

Yep, I do four pictures a year.

Keep it.

Listen, this idea for my movie,

it's sorta like an early '50s Sam Fuller piece, you know?

Kinda story about these two crooks

and they break outta jail

and they join up with this carnival of convicts.

What's it called?

"Alabama and the 40 Thieves."

"Alabama and the," that's not bad, kid.

Tell me more.

Well, I thought maybe we could do it

in black and white, you know?

And you could get Peter Bogdanovich to do it.

And I got some great ideas on casting.

Mr. Bially, listen, right here is fine.

You know something, kid?

You've got a real feel for film.

Look, Eric, you'll have to come to my next screening.

Really?

Yeah, call me at the studio sometime.

Jesus, well, thanks.

Sure, don't mention it.

Thanks a lot.

Oh, I'll call you.

Great.

- Thank you. - You bet.

Bye.

Aunt Stella, it's our lucky day!

We finally made it.

I just met this producer and he liked my idea for the movie,

and he's gonna do it.

And we're gonna be rich.

And we're not gonna have to worry about a thing.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I'm late.

We finally made it, Ma,

and it hurts.

It hurts bad, Ma.

What room are you in?

What are you talking about?

Did you know when this was the Hollywood Studio Club

that Gale Storm and Sharon Tate

and Marilyn Monroe all lived in room 334.

Give me a break.

Bet you didn't know that, huh?

Kenneth Anger would love the Boulevard today,

"Hollywood Babylon" on parade.

2.76.

Did you ever see Marilyn Monroe

coming out of The Brown Derby?

She's been dead for years, man.

You're wrong.

What are you talking about?

I said you're wrong, she's as alive as you and I.

She's dead! She's dead, you jerk!

Look, Eric, you've been here for over an hour.

Are you gonna buy anything or not?

You've got most of these anyway.

I'll just take these two, Clyde.

Pay upfront.

Eric, watch your money.

He's on his way.

You've gotta believe me, officer,

he is coming to Haddonfield.

Because I know him,

I'm his doctor.

You must be ready for him.

If you don't, it's your funeral.

Hello, beauty.

Yeah, sweet.

You little bitch.

I'm sorry, Marilyn.

What the hell is the matter with you, Binford?

I could have you arrested for stealing company property.

I needed wheels, had something to do.

Oh, I see, that's an answer.

Why don't you buy a car

with the insurance money your aunt left ya?

That's none of your business.

You keep your goddamn hands off me.

You know, I've been hearing

all kinds of things about you lately, Binford.

You mean like my wedding?

Now that is one I haven't heard.

I can't picture the creature who'd wanna marry you.

Tell me, who is this unlucky girl?

She's a famous actress.

And who might this famous actress be?

Marilyn Monroe.

Oh shit, hand over the keys, Binford.

The name's Cody, got me?

Oh, snap out of it, punk, your name is not Cody.

Cody Jarrett, and don't ever forget it.

Get your goddamn hands off me

and get the hell outta here, you're fired!

Too late, I quit.

Okay, so where do you think you're going?

Outta my way.

This is my place of business and you're not going inside.

Mr. Berger, my posters are valuable originals

and I want 'em.

Well, you forget 'em 'cause anything inside belongs to me.

It might help to pay for some of your screw ups.

Nobody pushes Cody around.

You'll be sorry, Big Ed.

You get off my property, you little jerk.

Who needs you?

This is the best thing that could've happened to me.

Why, you rotten son of a bitch.

I'll have your ass for this!

Your ass, you hear me, you little bastard?

You rotten little bastard,

where do you get your goddamn nerve?

Who does he think he is?

Who the hell does he think he is?

Mr. Berger, sir.

Jesus Christ, Sam, you scared the shit outta me.

Could I go out for some coffee, sir?

I'll only be a minute.

Yeah, all right, go ahead.

You better get me a cup me too.

You want cream and sugar?

No, make it black, I'm gonna be here half the night

correcting these invoices that Binford loused up.

Yes, sir.

And Sam, for God's sakes, wear a bell.

Sam, you still here?

Is anything working right around here?

Is anybody there?

Control yourself, Berger.

Goddamn it, get a hold of yourself.

Jesus!

Is anybody there?

Damn stock boy!

No lights in here either?

What the hell's going on in this place anyway?

God almighty, what the...

Huh, Sam.

No, no, get away, get away.

Get away from me!

Instead, let's get to the hot news for the viewers.

I love your new film, Gary.

Well, that's really nice coming from you, Eve.

I'll tell you, it was a tough film to make.

And we got mixed reviews.

But I'm very proud of it.

Now, how do you get that

special chemistry in your film, Gar?

They're all so distinctive.

Well, I think you just have to have a feel for it

and I think I have that feel.

You just have to have a gut instinct.

That's great.

Now, what's next on your breakneck schedule?

Oh, I'm glad you asked me that, Eve.

It's a real departure for me,

a grassroots story called "Alabama and the 40 Thieves."

That sounds fascinating.

Now, where do your ideas come from

if you don't mind my asking?

Oh wow. Well, in different ways.

This time, let me see, I was feeling kind of down

and I went out and bought a

A car?

Oh yeah, and it just flashed on me

when I was driving home after meeting with Dick and David.

You know, as a matter of fact, I--

Oh, how time flies.

Gary, thank you so much for coming

and sharing your insights with us.

My pleasure, Eve.

This is Eve Christopher, thanking you for watching,

and remember, Hollywood, I love you.

Floor is clear.

How'd it go?

Oh, they'll love it in Chicago.

Phone for you, Mr. Bially, it sounds urgent.

Right.

Go ahead, Gary, lunch tomorrow.

Sure, sushi.

Ciao.

Hello?

Oh hi, is this Gary Bially?

Yep.

It's Eric Binford, "Alabama and the 40 Thieves."

Oh, you must be mistaken, friend.

I've never heard of you.

Remember, you picked me up hitchhiking.

I gave you the whole idea for my movie.

Now, firstly, son, I never pick up hitchhikers,

and secondly, we never accept outside material.

Look, you said that I ought to call you and--

Look, I'm sorry, pal, I'd love to help you but I can't.

Sure.

Bye now, take care.

Yeah, bye.

Mr. Bially, I--

Please deposit 25 cents for overtime.

Great Big Ed.

You know why they call him that?

'Cause ideas are big.

Someday he's gonna get a really big one about me,

it'll be his last.

You dirty rat.

♪ For he's a jolly good fellow, ♪

♪ for he's a jolly good fellow ♪

♪ For he's a jolly good fellow ♪

♪ That nobody can deny ♪

Oh, you shouldn't have, really.

- Make a wish. - Okay.

Now we can eat it.

Ah, feels like shoes, I need 'em.

Ah, Gucci, fantastic.

Oh well, 9 1/2's.

Well, that's all right, I can exchange them, no problem.

Come on, sweetheart, we got work to do.

"Happy birthday to you from us.

Is there something very special

that you'd like your day to bring?

Well, here's a wish right from the heart

for just that very thing.

Happiness always,"

Oh that's great, really.

I hope I have it, yeah.

Yeah, really.

Happy birthday, sucker.

A real life birthday card, shit!

Which one of you jokers is responsible for this?

That's great, a bomb too?

That's too, too much.

Everybody out.

That's pretty good.

Hey, who hired you, huh?

Never mind that, stay put, bigshot.

Hey, I think you're carrying this gag a little too far.

Sure, it's gonna be a lot of laughs.

Try this on for size.

Jesus Christ, what do you want from me?

Nothin' much from you, you dirty rat.

In fact, nothin' at all.

Who are you?

Me, nobody.

You remember.

You're somebody.

Wait, you're making a big mistake.

I could do a lot for you.

But not for long, mister.

You got nice pipes, pal.

Drop by the club sometime.

Maybe I can do something for ya.

My god, these people around here,

they've all got brain damage.

You brought us down here.

Oh well, it's good to go shopping here.

It's your favorite hangout, huh?

Oh god.

Hey, this is cute.

Oh Marilyn, you don't need another T-shirt.

You've got enough for three baseball teams.

Just 'cause you invest all your money in gold and silver,

doesn't mean that I have to dress like an orphan.

Okay, suit yourself.

Hey, look at these photos.

These are wild, they're by the same guy

that wants me for this modeling job.

What job?

His secretary called me at the skate shop

and said that they wanted a model

that looked like Marilyn Monroe.

Ah, when?

- Tonight. - Mm-hmm.

Well, you're not going alone.

Good guess, honey.

You've got a car and I don't.

Oh, Marilyn, you're one of a kind.

You said you're my best friend.

All right, I'll go with you, we'll check it out.

There's a lot oh phony photographers, you know?

Sounds quite legit if you ask me.

You know, you're so naive.

Thanks.

I wonder what the price is for this thing.

I think we've got ourselves a real wacko here.

Captain, listen to me.

Binford is not crazy.

He's a victim of the society, believe me.

Oh, that's beautiful.

The man runs around in a Dracula

and a mummy outfit killing people, but he's okay?

Oh Jesus.

Captain Gallagher, most of his stuff's been moved out,

but we found these pictures and this.

May I see those, please?

What for?

It's police business.

All film related, yes?

Right.

Anne, why don't you bag these,

I'll take a look at them later.

Yeah, okay.

All right, let's wrap it up here.

Captain Gallagher,

call the station immediately.

We've got further information on--

Why do you think he covered up the street sign with this?

"99 River Street."

You can damn well be sure

that's something to do with the movies.

All right, now look at this.

Why do you suppose Binford changed his name to Jarrett?

Yeah, yeah, this is it, Blow-up Photo Studio.

Hey, look at that funny old car, it must be a prop.

"C. Jarrett," is this the place?

"To enter, press asterisk, pull open door."

Wow, what a layout.

Boy, maybe this guy is legit after all.

Of course he is.

All these high fashion photographers

sleep all day, they work all night.

Oh, do I look all right?

Yeah, you look great.

I'll pick you up later.

Do you have to go now, can't you stay a minute?

You'll be all right.

Thanks for the lift.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Good luck. - I'll need it.

Jerry, my shift has been over for hours,

can't we stop for a while?

Every cop in this city is looking for Binford's Packard.

No way, I'm not gonna let Gallagher beat us.

Come right in.

How do you do?

So good of you to come on such short notice, Miss Marina.

I did some research at the academy.

You know what I found out?

Cody Jarrett is Cagney's name in "White Heat."

My name's Marilyn O'Connor and who are you?

I'm the Regent of Carpathia, Prince of Hungary.

What?

No cause for alarm, my dear, for tonight,

we shall recreate "the Prince and the Showgirl."

You know, Gallagher and I found out something too.

Stella Binford was Eric's mother, not his aunt.

Seems that she got knocked up back when a scandal

like that could ruin her dance career.

You know, she never told Eric the truth.

Christ, Binford never had a chance,

that poor little weasel.

Here is mud in your eye.

Most amusing.

The time is 1911.

The city, London.

We are destined to meet.

You are the beautiful American showgirl

and I am but a lonely prince.

At first, I resist you.

But fate takes a hand.

But I know who you really are.

Why is there so much traffic tonight?

743, all units, unconfirmed sighting

of 1934 Packard, proceed to

Suspect may be--

That's right around here.

I know a shortcut.

All units stand by, unit--

Eric Binford, where are you?

Who is that?

Wake up, it's over.

Jerry, what the hell do you think you're doing?

Drop it.

No!

Stop right now.

You're Eric Binford.

We can help you, Eric.

Who?

Binford, you're out of your fucking mind!

Who the hell is Eric Binford?

Oh Jesus, come on, you and your goddamn therapy.

Get me to the car.

Okay, get up, lean on me.

Oh, my leg.

Are you gonna be all right?

Yes, yes, fine. I'll make it.

Why do you think they're on Hollywood Boulevard?

Because his whole life is a movie.

There he is.

Jerry, be careful.

Binford!

Binford, hold it!

Gallagher is gonna be here in three minutes.

He's ordered us to wait.

Jesus Christ, Anne, why didn't you give me a chance

to get ahold of him first, huh, goddamn it?

Eric, Eric Binford, let me talk with you.

I don't need to talk to you.

Please, let her go.

Forget it, she's mine.

Eric, trust me, I'm a friend.

I know all about you now.

You don't know nothing.

See? You're nothing but a stinking copper.

I own this place and nobody,

nobody takes Cody alive.

No, no, no!

Eric...

It's all right, you don't need this anymore.

Run, lady, run!

Where is he?

- Inside. - Captain.

Everybody in position?

We got four men in the courtyard, we're gonna be set.

Fine, now listen to me.

Nobody fires unless he fires first, you understand?

Oh, hello, Sherlock, you finally got

the slimy bastard cornered, right?

Captain, listen, no matter what he is,

try and remember, he's only a sick kid who needs help.

That's what I'm here for, to help him.

Hell, man, you can't kill Binford in cold blood.

We're not gonna do that, but if he fires at anyone,

you'll be the first to feel his pulse.

He's there!

Come on, get the hell out of here.

Get 'em back.

Get 'em back!

Eric, give yourself up!

Moriarty, get the hell outta here, get outta there!

This is it.

This is Hollywood,

Look at those ants down there.

You little squids, you don't know your own mind!

You can't touch me!

Not now.

What are you doing?

Didn't you hear what...

Copper.

Get 'em back!

They don't even know how to shoot.

Can't take Cody Jarrett alive, don't you know that?

You can't take Cody alive!

Eric! Please...

Please? Come with me.

There's still something more I gotta do.

Here's to us, top of the world.

We're always gonna be together, sweetheart,

just take these.

No, open the door, Eric.

Open the door.

Open the door.

Eric. Eric.

This is my story.

This is Arthur Cody Jarrett

and this is my story.

All right, you can't keep 'em waiting.

Nobody waits for me.

Where the hell is he now?

There he is.

Eric, there's still time!

He points that weapon this way, you hit him.

You understand? You hear me?

He points that thing, hit him!

- God, Gallagher-- - Shut up!

Those stinking cops, they didn't give me a chance.

I'm ready now.

I'm Cody Jarrett, remember.

I'm the duke.

The man of the thousand faces.

The prince of darkness.

I'm the dead man.

I'm Little Caesar.

I'm the man that knew too much.

Made it, Ma!

I finally made it, Ma!
