1
00:04:30,645 --> 00:04:32,510
Next week, baby.
2
00:04:34,816 --> 00:04:39,526
Songbird! Come here tonight
and I'll dance with you free.
3
00:04:39,696 --> 00:04:41,732
No, you don't. You gotta pay me.
4
00:04:41,907 --> 00:04:44,740
Danny, come on.
Your breakfast. Come on.
5
00:04:48,663 --> 00:04:51,496
Don't let pop catch you
talking to that.
6
00:04:51,666 --> 00:04:53,827
Just being neighborly.
He picked the neighborhood.
7
00:04:54,002 --> 00:04:58,336
Lay off. He went broke.
The neighborhood picked him.
8
00:04:58,507 --> 00:05:00,964
Sit down and eat your breakfast.
9
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:07,300
It don't feel like the last day
of school. Everything's so quiet.
10
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:09,760
Were you expecting a 21-gun salute?
11
00:05:09,935 --> 00:05:14,520
Why not? At 3:00, it's all over.
Don't that make it kind of special?
12
00:05:15,649 --> 00:05:19,392
Tomorrow they call my name
and give me a piece of paper.
13
00:05:22,781 --> 00:05:25,113
It's for sure, isn't it, Danny?
14
00:05:25,283 --> 00:05:28,491
- This time?
- Sure, kid. I'm a cinch.
15
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:31,445
You said that last year.
16
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:34,622
Pop bought all this junk
for a graduation party,
17
00:05:34,793 --> 00:05:37,079
and there was no graduation.
18
00:05:37,254 --> 00:05:41,964
Old Mrs. Pearson is the one that
flunked me, but I showed her.
19
00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:46,467
I showed the old man, too. He's been
waiting a year to have this party.
20
00:05:46,638 --> 00:05:48,378
Now he can stop bugging me.
21
00:05:48,557 --> 00:05:52,141
He doesn't mean to bug you,
he wants to be proud of you.
22
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:54,935
Sure.
23
00:05:56,106 --> 00:06:01,066
I've been thinking a lot about
the old house, Mimi, and about mom.
24
00:06:01,444 --> 00:06:05,562
I wish she could be here for
the graduation. I really miss her.
25
00:06:06,241 --> 00:06:09,904
I miss her, too. He misses her the most.
26
00:06:11,121 --> 00:06:15,160
It's terrible to lean on someone so
hard, you don't know you're leaning.
27
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:18,871
Never finding out until
she isn't there anymore.
28
00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:23,664
It's been like stumbling around
in the dark for him ever since.
29
00:06:23,842 --> 00:06:26,424
When he sits there
and watches you graduate,
30
00:06:26,595 --> 00:06:30,838
he'll have eyes again
for the first time in three years.
31
00:06:33,518 --> 00:06:36,385
Then I'd better hurry.
32
00:06:37,188 --> 00:06:40,646
Got a whole day's work ahead of me
before Mrs. Pearson.
33
00:06:40,817 --> 00:06:43,354
How do you think
that's been eating at him?
34
00:06:43,528 --> 00:06:45,644
You working in a joint
like the blue shade.
35
00:06:45,822 --> 00:06:48,404
One man in the family's
gotta have a job.
36
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:52,363
Who cares where you sweep up? It
looks the same in the garbage truck.
37
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:56,576
- Danny, you got pa all wrong.
- Me and the world.
38
00:06:56,750 --> 00:07:00,334
Look, sis, why are we fighting?
It's the last day of school.
39
00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:03,836
- Yeah.
- Bye.
40
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:25,149
- Morning, chico.
- Hi, Danny.
41
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,231
- Who's that?
- Maxie's friends.
42
00:07:27,405 --> 00:07:31,694
They've been here all night.
Try to work around 'em. See you.
43
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:33,529
Ok. See you tonight.
44
00:07:33,703 --> 00:07:39,039
Don't be like that. Come on, Ronnie,
maxie said to be nice.
45
00:07:39,209 --> 00:07:42,952
I am being nice to you.
I haven't spit in your eye yet.
46
00:07:43,129 --> 00:07:44,539
That's very funny.
47
00:07:44,714 --> 00:07:48,377
You better do what maxie says.
He's the boss around here.
48
00:07:48,551 --> 00:07:51,884
Hey, kid! What happened to the music?
49
00:07:52,055 --> 00:07:55,593
- The band went home.
- Can you play the piano?
50
00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:57,883
Leave him alone. He's just a busboy.
51
00:07:58,061 --> 00:08:03,272
This joint's got a cabaret license.
I paid, I want to be entertained.
52
00:08:03,441 --> 00:08:07,104
Let's dance, honey.
That's enough entertainment.
53
00:08:07,278 --> 00:08:10,987
- The band went home.
- Busboy here will sing us a song.
54
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:13,773
Hey, kid. Sing us a song
and I'll buy you a drink.
55
00:08:13,952 --> 00:08:16,944
Mister, I've gotta sweep up.
56
00:08:17,122 --> 00:08:19,454
I appreciate it, but
I'll be late for school.
57
00:08:19,624 --> 00:08:24,744
School? The kid goes to school.
Ain't that nice?
58
00:08:24,921 --> 00:08:28,288
I went to school once.
Bartender's school.
59
00:08:28,466 --> 00:08:31,003
Ronnie, you ever go to school?
60
00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:35,466
I said, you ever go to school?
Wake up, stupid, I'm talking to you.
61
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,973
No, they never had to give you lessons.
62
00:08:39,686 --> 00:08:40,766
Why, you...
63
00:08:40,937 --> 00:08:42,973
- Let go of me, will you?
- Forget it.
64
00:08:43,148 --> 00:08:45,480
Ok, ok, take it easy. I'll sing.
65
00:08:45,650 --> 00:08:48,562
You hear that, Ralph?
The kid is gonna sing.
66
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:51,356
Don't ever try that again.
67
00:08:54,951 --> 00:08:56,816
All right, what are you gonna sing?
68
00:08:56,995 --> 00:09:01,489
Sing your school song.
You gotta have a school song.
69
00:09:01,666 --> 00:09:06,786
An Alma mater. The one with the words
about loyal and true.
70
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:11,460
You heard the lady. Go ahead.
71
00:09:33,615 --> 00:09:36,482
Come on, kid. Jazz it up!
72
00:09:54,552 --> 00:09:58,670
- Attaboy, kid.
- That's real nice, kid, real nice.
73
00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:04,183
Here. What do you do for an encore?
74
00:10:04,354 --> 00:10:06,390
Never mind.
75
00:10:06,564 --> 00:10:10,227
Come on, honey, let's finish
the dance. We don't need no music.
76
00:10:11,277 --> 00:10:14,769
Hop it! What do you think I am?
77
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:17,155
I know what you are.
Come here and be quiet.
78
00:10:17,325 --> 00:10:21,159
You know what? It's a lifetime study
79
00:10:21,329 --> 00:10:23,615
to find out who you are!
80
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:30,293
To thine own self be true,
and it follows as the day...
81
00:10:32,549 --> 00:10:34,835
To thine own self be true...
82
00:10:36,553 --> 00:10:38,669
If you can afford it.
83
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:42,676
If you'll excuse me,
my mother is waiting for me.
84
00:10:42,851 --> 00:10:47,561
You never had a mother. Sit down!
You looking for trouble, too, kid?
85
00:10:51,025 --> 00:10:53,437
No. I'm just looking to get out of here.
86
00:10:53,611 --> 00:10:57,695
- Let me go with you.
- Get out and mind your own business.
87
00:11:05,874 --> 00:11:10,117
- Get up! You're not a baby.
- Leave her alone.
88
00:11:10,295 --> 00:11:12,627
Come on. Get out of here.
89
00:11:17,844 --> 00:11:21,803
Oh, boy.
You're a pretty fancy performer, kid.
90
00:11:24,851 --> 00:11:27,263
Now you know what I do for an encore.
91
00:11:27,896 --> 00:11:29,978
Go on, get out of here.
92
00:11:33,234 --> 00:11:35,099
Taxi!
93
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:46,278
Come on, baby, have a drink.
94
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:51,749
I guess I'll lose the job for this.
95
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,208
No, you won't. They won't tell maxie.
96
00:11:55,381 --> 00:11:57,918
Maxie doesn't like to have
his merchandise manhandled.
97
00:11:58,092 --> 00:12:01,255
He'll loan me out
to be mauled a little bit,
98
00:12:01,429 --> 00:12:03,385
but when it comes to a sock in the eye,
99
00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:06,548
that pleasure is for maxie fields alone.
100
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:10,469
- Nice fella.
- Maxie? Yeah.
101
00:12:12,357 --> 00:12:18,068
He wouldn't like you. You know why?
Because I like you.
102
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:23,653
Maxie hates everything I like.
Maxie's my benefactor.
103
00:12:23,826 --> 00:12:28,195
He's the circus master,
the cheese, the big cheese.
104
00:12:29,165 --> 00:12:31,406
Big and green and moldy.
105
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:34,121
You're drunk. It's 8:00 in the morning.
106
00:12:34,295 --> 00:12:37,332
I had to be home by midnight,
I forget whose,
107
00:12:37,507 --> 00:12:40,715
or my convertible turns into a pumpkin.
108
00:12:40,885 --> 00:12:43,752
Maxie turns everything into a pumpkin.
109
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:51,635
Danny, why don't you kiss me?
All the wrong people try to.
110
00:12:51,813 --> 00:12:55,305
We're almost to the school.
Tell me where you live.
111
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:57,940
I want to go to school with you.
112
00:12:59,946 --> 00:13:04,315
I used to love to go to school.
I was gonna be everything.
113
00:13:05,118 --> 00:13:08,702
A nurse, and... a bus driver.
114
00:13:09,789 --> 00:13:13,077
You know what I am?
You're in the circus.
115
00:13:14,168 --> 00:13:19,162
That's right. I'm in the circus.
116
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:30,681
I'm going in and explain everything.
117
00:13:30,852 --> 00:13:33,309
You're going home, wherever that is.
118
00:13:33,479 --> 00:13:35,686
Danny, Mrs. Pearson marked you absent.
119
00:13:35,857 --> 00:13:39,691
We'll show Mrs. Pearson.
Where'd you pick that up?
120
00:13:40,528 --> 00:13:43,861
Go on. You never seen anybody
with a few too many?
121
00:13:46,117 --> 00:13:49,405
- Tell him where to take you.
- I'll be a good girl.
122
00:13:49,579 --> 00:13:53,288
If you'll give me a kiss,
I'll tell the man where I live.
123
00:14:02,216 --> 00:14:04,582
- How about that chick?
- Go on.
124
00:14:04,761 --> 00:14:06,797
Danny, you're blushing.
125
00:14:10,224 --> 00:14:13,512
One second, Danny.
Go ahead, Mrs. Pearson.
126
00:14:13,686 --> 00:14:17,679
Late on the last day of school,
your mouth smeared with lipstick.
127
00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:22,977
- How do you explain that, Mr. Fisher?
- I don't think I can, Mrs. Pearson.
128
00:14:23,529 --> 00:14:25,986
You see, sir, this morning I went in...
129
00:14:26,157 --> 00:14:28,739
I usually go in to sweep up, see?
130
00:14:28,910 --> 00:14:33,279
- But... well, look, honey...
- Mr. Fisher!
131
00:14:33,456 --> 00:14:35,788
I have been instructing for 20 years,
132
00:14:35,958 --> 00:14:39,667
- and no one ever called me "honey".
- I believe you.
133
00:14:39,837 --> 00:14:42,203
Mrs. Pearson, let me talk to the boy.
134
00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:47,376
Forgive me, sir, I've talked to the
boy many times, and to what avail?
135
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:52,764
In an unprovoked display of violence,
he attacked two of his classmates.
136
00:14:52,934 --> 00:14:56,472
The boy has no conception
of respect and discipline.
137
00:14:56,646 --> 00:15:01,936
Under the circumstances, regretfully,
perhaps, I have no choice.
138
00:15:02,110 --> 00:15:05,398
Mr. Fisher will not
be graduating tomorrow.
139
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:14,244
Danny, wait a minute.
I'd like to talk to you.
140
00:15:15,206 --> 00:15:17,697
You know I'll have to go along with her?
141
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:20,366
- I want you to know that I'm sorry.
- Thanks.
142
00:15:20,545 --> 00:15:24,288
- I'll be seeing you next year.
- No, you won't.
143
00:15:24,465 --> 00:15:28,959
Now, wait a minute. Sit down, Danny.
144
00:15:29,137 --> 00:15:31,503
Sit down, I said.
145
00:15:31,681 --> 00:15:35,048
You've just been told
that you're not graduating.
146
00:15:35,226 --> 00:15:36,636
Doesn't that mean anything to you?
147
00:15:36,811 --> 00:15:40,178
I'm not graduating. That's it.
Now what do you want?
148
00:15:40,898 --> 00:15:44,015
I once had a son, Danny.
He lived 13 years.
149
00:15:44,193 --> 00:15:46,229
Some hoodlums jumped him and he died.
150
00:15:46,404 --> 00:15:48,611
What's that got to do with me?
151
00:15:48,781 --> 00:15:51,363
Because you have
all the earmarks of being a hoodlum,
152
00:15:51,534 --> 00:15:55,118
- or whatever you want to call it.
- This isn't principal talk.
153
00:15:55,288 --> 00:15:59,122
The more difficult the student, the
more I try to lean over backwards.
154
00:15:59,292 --> 00:16:03,376
Mr. Evans, we moved into
this neighborhood three years ago.
155
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:08,673
In those three years I've shined
shoes and dusted in a barbershop.
156
00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:12,172
I've done towel duty
in four different men's rooms.
157
00:16:12,346 --> 00:16:16,635
I've stacked chairs, swept floors
in every joint on bourbon street.
158
00:16:17,226 --> 00:16:21,720
It's got so I look longer at a dame
with clothes on than one without.
159
00:16:21,898 --> 00:16:24,935
I'm not a hoodlum, but I am a hustler.
160
00:16:25,109 --> 00:16:29,398
I've had to be for
a very simple reason. My old man.
161
00:16:31,574 --> 00:16:35,692
My mother was killed
in an accident three years ago.
162
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:38,486
It might as well
have gotten the old man, too,
163
00:16:38,664 --> 00:16:43,408
because he took himself right out
of the line-up. He quit cold.
164
00:16:43,586 --> 00:16:46,703
He lost the drugstore he owned,
he lost the house,
165
00:16:46,881 --> 00:16:50,465
and then finally what few
little jobs he's had since.
166
00:16:51,928 --> 00:16:54,920
Maybe I could have liked school,
Mr. Evans,
167
00:16:55,097 --> 00:16:58,055
but every time I wanted
to play ball, I had to work.
168
00:16:58,226 --> 00:17:01,969
Somebody had to.
Anyway, now I'm through. I'm through.
169
00:17:02,146 --> 00:17:05,183
I wasn't aware you worked
after school, Danny.
170
00:17:05,358 --> 00:17:09,476
It's not the working after school,
it's the working before.
171
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:11,607
It's been nice talking to you.
172
00:17:13,366 --> 00:17:15,106
I'm sorry I said what I did, Danny.
173
00:17:15,284 --> 00:17:18,947
That's all right.
My life's a long way from over yet,
174
00:17:20,206 --> 00:17:22,913
and you never know, you may be right.
175
00:17:28,881 --> 00:17:30,963
That's him.
176
00:17:31,676 --> 00:17:33,883
- Excuse me.
- You Danny Fisher?
177
00:17:35,972 --> 00:17:38,714
- What about it?
- Let's take a walk.
178
00:17:56,867 --> 00:17:58,403
What's the beef?
179
00:17:58,578 --> 00:18:01,866
They call me shark.
This is sal, and that's dummy.
180
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:03,825
- L...
- All right.
181
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,742
You beat up my brother in school today,
182
00:18:06,919 --> 00:18:09,205
and I believe in an eye for an eye.
183
00:18:13,426 --> 00:18:16,293
You go for the knife,
I'll bash his brains out.
184
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:27,766
You go real fast. All right.
185
00:18:29,817 --> 00:18:34,732
You're right about my brother.
He should learn a little manners.
186
00:18:36,907 --> 00:18:39,740
So would you like to hang out with us?
187
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:42,659
Why not? Wait a minute.
188
00:18:42,830 --> 00:18:46,243
Wait. We get money.
Sometimes we get a lot.
189
00:18:46,417 --> 00:18:49,250
We got something
cooking for us tomorrow.
190
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:52,162
If you change your mind,
we'll be right here.
191
00:18:53,758 --> 00:18:54,793
I said no.
192
00:18:58,387 --> 00:19:00,252
Thanks.
193
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:10,517
Good boy.
194
00:19:10,691 --> 00:19:12,727
Fights real dirty.
195
00:19:17,865 --> 00:19:19,947
Well?
196
00:19:22,203 --> 00:19:23,693
What's the matter?
197
00:19:23,871 --> 00:19:27,329
Old lady Pearson flunked me.
I'm not graduating.
198
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:30,458
- Danny, no.
- Danny, yes.
199
00:19:30,628 --> 00:19:32,869
For the second year in a row, yes.
200
00:19:34,090 --> 00:19:36,376
If this keeps up much longer,
I'll be a freshman again.
201
00:19:36,550 --> 00:19:39,838
But you could go back another year.
202
00:19:40,012 --> 00:19:43,220
Yeah? You don't make money in school.
203
00:19:43,391 --> 00:19:45,382
Pop's been fired four times
in the last year,
204
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:47,550
and he hasn't got a job now.
205
00:19:47,728 --> 00:19:51,471
You're working, I'm working,
and from now on, full time, kid.
206
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:56,976
Well, guess where I've been.
207
00:19:57,154 --> 00:20:00,112
Got a quart of ice cream
and this to go with it.
208
00:20:00,282 --> 00:20:03,740
- A little special dessert...
- Papa, I want to talk to you.
209
00:20:03,911 --> 00:20:06,027
Good, son. I want to talk to you, too.
210
00:20:06,205 --> 00:20:09,697
Mimi, you're gonna
have to listen from the kitchen.
211
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:12,617
Let's see now, son. Where do I begin?
212
00:20:12,795 --> 00:20:14,501
Pop, you gotta understand...
213
00:20:14,672 --> 00:20:19,712
Now, I don't gotta nothing.
You gotta, cos I'm older than you.
214
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:24,379
I go first.
Danny, I made some notes last year
215
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:29,350
when you were supposed to graduate,
and I think I still have them.
216
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,058
Yeah, here they are.
Kind of silly, isn't it?
217
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:36,019
A father making notes
on things to say to his son.
218
00:20:36,193 --> 00:20:40,482
- Pop...
- I can say it all in one breath.
219
00:20:40,656 --> 00:20:44,069
I'm proud of you, son,
because you went back to school.
220
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:47,576
- Pa, there's something...
- I know all about it.
221
00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:51,035
Mr. Evans called me.
I spent all afternoon with him.
222
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:53,699
We had a nice long chat together.
223
00:20:53,878 --> 00:20:55,539
- I'm sorry, pop.
- I'm sorry, too, son,
224
00:20:55,713 --> 00:21:00,298
but things are gonna be different,
that's why we're celebrating.
225
00:21:00,468 --> 00:21:05,212
We also had a talk
with that Mrs. Pearson woman.
226
00:21:05,389 --> 00:21:08,005
She said that you could
graduate before next year
227
00:21:08,184 --> 00:21:12,769
if you'd go to night school
and learned a little discipline.
228
00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:17,352
So that's how it's gonna be.
No more working for you.
229
00:21:17,526 --> 00:21:20,142
You'll do the going to school,
I'll do the going to work.
230
00:21:20,321 --> 00:21:22,027
How many times...?
231
00:21:22,198 --> 00:21:26,066
You've got to graduate if you ever
want to take up a profession.
232
00:21:26,243 --> 00:21:29,280
- Pa, we've been through this.
- I want you to.
233
00:21:29,455 --> 00:21:33,698
I don't want you working on bourbon
street with bums all your life.
234
00:21:33,876 --> 00:21:37,164
A profession
sets a man apart from the world.
235
00:21:37,338 --> 00:21:40,796
Like you? A registered pharmacist
and you can't get a job.
236
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:42,877
You're wrong about that, Danny.
237
00:21:43,052 --> 00:21:45,384
An opening came up
at the regal pharmacy,
238
00:21:45,554 --> 00:21:49,012
and they're sending me
to see the manager.
239
00:21:49,183 --> 00:21:51,515
- You haven't got the job.
- They'll hire me.
240
00:21:51,685 --> 00:21:54,222
- Sure.
- They will and I'll keep the job.
241
00:21:54,396 --> 00:21:58,264
- Things will be different.
- I'm not going back to school.
242
00:21:58,984 --> 00:22:02,727
Look, son, you didn't fail
because your marks were bad.
243
00:22:02,905 --> 00:22:05,863
Mr. Evans said you failed
because of your attitude.
244
00:22:06,033 --> 00:22:09,651
Anybody that disagreed with you
got a punch.
245
00:22:09,829 --> 00:22:14,163
- Is that what I brought you up for?
- No, pa, it's not,
246
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:18,622
but I stopped listening to you.
I ran out of other cheeks.
247
00:22:18,796 --> 00:22:22,835
Pop, when I was just three feet
high you took me to the circus.
248
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:24,794
You accidentally bumped into a guy,
249
00:22:24,969 --> 00:22:27,961
and he turned
and punched you in the mouth.
250
00:22:28,138 --> 00:22:31,380
And you know what you did?
Nothing. Nothing!
251
00:22:33,102 --> 00:22:36,390
When they swing at you,
you gotta swing back.
252
00:22:36,647 --> 00:22:39,764
Maybe you can't,
but I'm not taking after you.
253
00:22:39,942 --> 00:22:41,853
I'm going out and make a buck.
254
00:22:55,583 --> 00:22:59,121
- Hi.
- Well, now we're somewhere.
255
00:22:59,295 --> 00:23:02,082
- I was hoping you'd show.
- You said something about money.
256
00:23:02,256 --> 00:23:05,293
That's what we were talking about.
257
00:23:05,467 --> 00:23:07,833
You know that five-and-dime
on Charles street?
258
00:23:08,012 --> 00:23:09,332
We were gonna pull a phony fight,
259
00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:14,015
but my brother told me
that you sing like a bird,
260
00:23:14,184 --> 00:23:17,893
and that's what you're famous for,
singing and flunking.
261
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:21,226
What's singing got to do with it?
“What a cube.
262
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:27,186
I ain't never stole nothing before.
263
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:32,449
You're not gonna steal anything now.
All you're gonna do is sing.
264
00:23:32,620 --> 00:23:35,282
Here's the plan. That
five-and-dime on Charles street...
265
00:25:04,545 --> 00:25:07,958
- Sings beautiful, don't he?
- He sure does.
266
00:25:49,882 --> 00:25:52,294
- You sing nice.
- Thanks.
267
00:25:52,468 --> 00:25:54,880
- You were in on it, weren't you?
- In on what?
268
00:25:55,054 --> 00:25:57,841
- Could I have a glass of water?
- Certainly.
269
00:25:58,307 --> 00:26:00,172
What'll you have? “I'll...
270
00:26:00,350 --> 00:26:01,715
- Root beer?
- Yeah.
271
00:26:01,894 --> 00:26:07,389
My, it's hot in here, isn't it?
Isn't it? Don't you think so?
272
00:26:08,442 --> 00:26:10,398
It's always hot this time of year.
273
00:26:12,321 --> 00:26:15,154
My, that tastes good. Thank you.
274
00:26:19,703 --> 00:26:21,944
- What's your name?
- Nellie.
275
00:26:23,415 --> 00:26:25,747
- What time you get through work?
- Why?
276
00:26:26,919 --> 00:26:30,832
- I thought I might meet you.
- What do you think I am?
277
00:26:31,548 --> 00:26:35,917
- I'd like to find out.
- Mr. mcintyre, Mr. mcintyre, hurry!
278
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,506
Look at the counter.
279
00:26:40,557 --> 00:26:42,047
You gonna meet me after work?
280
00:26:42,226 --> 00:26:45,889
I'm through at 10, so if you're here,
I can't help but see you.
281
00:26:46,063 --> 00:26:47,599
Thanks a lot, kid.
282
00:26:47,773 --> 00:26:51,061
I don't know how it happened!
It wasn't my fault!
283
00:27:06,708 --> 00:27:10,747
Mr. furst, I'm very careful
about the accounts.
284
00:27:10,921 --> 00:27:13,458
The books show it clearly.
There can't be any mistake.
285
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:15,748
Excuse me. A customer.
286
00:27:15,926 --> 00:27:20,135
- Anything I can do for you, sir?
- Yes, sir, I came about the job.
287
00:27:20,305 --> 00:27:23,047
- That job has been filled.
- The employment office said...
288
00:27:23,225 --> 00:27:27,138
- I hired a man yesterday.
- But I've got to have the job.
289
00:27:27,312 --> 00:27:30,645
The agency sent me. I have my diploma.
290
00:27:30,816 --> 00:27:34,525
I'm a registered pharmacist
with 25 years behind me.
291
00:27:34,695 --> 00:27:37,437
- What's the trouble?
- Just a mistake about a job.
292
00:27:37,614 --> 00:27:41,027
- What's the mistake?
- I want a younger man.
293
00:27:41,201 --> 00:27:45,535
He looks younger than me. We've had
four younger men in three months.
294
00:27:45,706 --> 00:27:49,244
Have you read his credentials?
Is he good or incompetent?
295
00:27:49,418 --> 00:27:53,036
- How do you tell that?
- I'll wait over here.
296
00:27:53,213 --> 00:27:56,000
- Give him an application.
- I don't have any.
297
00:27:56,175 --> 00:27:58,211
Then give him the job.
298
00:28:01,513 --> 00:28:04,300
- You start work tomorrow morning.
- Thank you.
299
00:28:18,864 --> 00:28:20,479
Chico, you better find somebody else.
300
00:28:20,657 --> 00:28:23,524
- I can't work nights anymore.
- Up to you, Danny.
301
00:28:23,702 --> 00:28:25,818
No complaints from this end.
302
00:28:25,996 --> 00:28:28,988
The old man got a job today,
and we made kind of a deal.
303
00:28:29,166 --> 00:28:31,407
He works, and I go to school.
304
00:28:31,585 --> 00:28:36,204
Not really. I got an old man,
give him a jug of wine, he's happy.
305
00:28:43,013 --> 00:28:45,504
- Danny.
- What's the matter, trouble?
306
00:28:45,682 --> 00:28:50,517
No. We're gonna divvy up later.
That fence gave us over 90 bucks.
307
00:28:51,813 --> 00:28:54,395
- Hello, Mr. fields.
- Hiya, kid.
308
00:28:55,150 --> 00:28:58,483
- Hello there!
- Could I get by, please?
309
00:29:00,656 --> 00:29:02,988
Don't you...
310
00:29:03,158 --> 00:29:07,322
- Hey, you.
- That's maxie fields. Your boss.
311
00:29:07,496 --> 00:29:11,455
- Hey, Mr. fields. How about that?
- Who's this guy, Ronnie?
312
00:29:12,167 --> 00:29:15,000
The king of yugoslavia.
How should I know?
313
00:29:15,170 --> 00:29:17,331
Take your hand off me, Mr. fields.
314
00:29:17,506 --> 00:29:19,838
How come you're so friendly
with the lady?
315
00:29:20,008 --> 00:29:23,876
We met in Paris last year.
The king of France introduced us.
316
00:29:24,471 --> 00:29:26,132
You're pretty fresh, boy.
317
00:29:26,515 --> 00:29:29,973
Mr. fields, when
you gonna put me on that payroll?
318
00:29:30,143 --> 00:29:32,429
- I'll let you know.
- Thanks a lot, Mr. fields.
319
00:29:32,604 --> 00:29:37,018
Hiya, maxie, how you feelin?
Same as usual?
320
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:39,892
You lookin' for an early grave?
321
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:41,856
He's your boss.
Him you don't fool with.
322
00:29:42,030 --> 00:29:44,772
Why not? I'm the king of yugoslavia.
323
00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:48,738
No. He's king of everything.
He owns the air you're breathin'.
324
00:29:48,912 --> 00:29:52,325
- Only in here.
- He can shut it off real quick.
325
00:29:55,502 --> 00:29:58,369
Why does a busboy
look at you like that?
326
00:29:58,547 --> 00:30:01,084
A busboy! Where did you meet him?
327
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,382
You're hurting me.
What are you talking about?
328
00:30:04,553 --> 00:30:08,717
You know the kid. Don't lie to me.
I'll break every finger you got.
329
00:30:08,890 --> 00:30:12,883
Maxie, stop it, please.
I heard him sing a song, that's all.
330
00:30:15,939 --> 00:30:17,804
You do know him?
331
00:30:17,983 --> 00:30:21,316
He sang here once
for your big-shot friends.
332
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:23,226
I told him he had a nice voice.
333
00:30:23,405 --> 00:30:26,863
- That was all?
- That's all.
334
00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:31,322
Hey, you, kid. Come here.
335
00:30:32,331 --> 00:30:34,913
Yeah, you, busboy. Come on over here.
336
00:30:37,586 --> 00:30:40,453
Lady says you sing. That right?
337
00:30:40,630 --> 00:30:43,713
Better be right, cos if it ain't,
then the lady is lying.
338
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,632
- Ok, I sing. So what?
- Nothing.
339
00:30:49,806 --> 00:30:52,548
Just making sure
she was telling the truth.
340
00:30:52,976 --> 00:30:55,683
Hey, Jimmy. Just a minute.
341
00:30:59,983 --> 00:31:01,439
Sure, boss.
342
00:31:01,610 --> 00:31:04,818
I want to make sure it's the truth.
I'd like to hear you.
343
00:31:04,988 --> 00:31:09,106
- Go and sing a song for me.
- Now?
344
00:31:09,284 --> 00:31:13,994
Yeah, now. Right now.
And you better be a singer.
345
00:31:17,376 --> 00:31:20,118
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a little surprise.
346
00:31:20,295 --> 00:31:25,380
There's a new singer here...
The busboy. On the level.
347
00:31:25,550 --> 00:31:28,667
A good friend of Mr. fields
says this guy can really go.
348
00:31:28,845 --> 00:31:32,884
So let's give a good listen to...
What's your name, kid?
349
00:31:33,058 --> 00:31:37,597
- Caruso!
- Caruso the busboy! Come on!
350
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:25,352
You're a singer, kid. I just got
a dirty mind, that's all. Sorry, kid.
351
00:34:33,822 --> 00:34:35,483
- Give me my coat, kid.
- I sure will.
352
00:34:35,657 --> 00:34:40,367
That was swell. My name's legrand.
You want to stop being a busboy?
353
00:34:40,537 --> 00:34:41,743
I just stopped.
354
00:34:41,913 --> 00:34:44,325
I own the king creole down the street.
355
00:34:44,499 --> 00:34:46,740
- Good for you.
- It's a dying swan,
356
00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:50,251
but maybe we can put
you over and bring it back to life.
357
00:34:50,422 --> 00:34:53,334
- Hello, Charlie.
- Well, hello, rat.
358
00:34:53,508 --> 00:34:56,124
Can't stand the whiskey at your joint?
359
00:34:56,303 --> 00:34:58,635
I like to see what
the competition is doing.
360
00:34:58,805 --> 00:35:01,342
I was gonna offer the
kid a job myself.
361
00:35:01,516 --> 00:35:02,722
I beat you to it.
362
00:35:02,892 --> 00:35:07,010
You always do, but I wind up
with 'em sooner or later.
363
00:35:07,188 --> 00:35:10,601
He handled Ronnie
when she was a singer. Now I do.
364
00:35:10,775 --> 00:35:12,766
What do you say, kid?
365
00:35:14,154 --> 00:35:16,566
I got a date.
366
00:35:16,740 --> 00:35:19,072
- How about one on me?
- Another time.
367
00:35:33,173 --> 00:35:36,381
We got $95,
and that's only the beginning.
368
00:35:36,551 --> 00:35:38,712
- Pretty good.
- Here.
369
00:35:39,596 --> 00:35:43,134
Come on, dummy, come on.
Be glad you got that.
370
00:35:43,308 --> 00:35:46,721
- How much did you give him?
- You got 30. Don't worry.
371
00:35:47,562 --> 00:35:50,429
I asked you a question.
How much did you give him?
372
00:35:50,607 --> 00:35:55,192
Five bucks. He's a dummy,
what does he need money for?
373
00:35:55,362 --> 00:35:57,398
Five bucks?
374
00:35:59,658 --> 00:36:02,320
Here you go, kid.
375
00:36:02,494 --> 00:36:04,530
Come on, give me.
376
00:36:06,748 --> 00:36:11,583
If he tries to take it back,
you tell me. You understand?
377
00:36:12,045 --> 00:36:14,127
Now go on, beat it, kid.
378
00:36:14,297 --> 00:36:18,256
I don't think I want you
hanging around with us anymore.
379
00:36:18,426 --> 00:36:21,543
- You're trouble.
- I got news for you, buddy.
380
00:36:22,305 --> 00:36:24,591
I'm not gonna be around anymore.
381
00:36:28,687 --> 00:36:33,181
- I wanna thank you.
- That's all right, pal.
382
00:36:44,869 --> 00:36:48,407
- Good night, girls.
- Good night.
383
00:36:48,581 --> 00:36:50,617
- Hi.
- Hello.
384
00:36:50,792 --> 00:36:53,534
Don't give me that. I saw you looking.
385
00:36:54,504 --> 00:36:56,085
You're pretty sure of yourself.
386
00:36:56,256 --> 00:36:59,168
Not always. I was scared this afternoon.
387
00:36:59,342 --> 00:37:02,584
I thought you were gonna
blow the whistle on me.
388
00:37:02,762 --> 00:37:08,428
- I like you, that's why.
- Where would you like to go?
389
00:37:08,601 --> 00:37:12,469
I don't care. I mean,
I don't know why I'm here.
390
00:37:12,647 --> 00:37:15,605
I have to be home early.
My mother's old-fashioned.
391
00:37:15,775 --> 00:37:19,643
- What about you?
- What do you mean?
392
00:37:19,821 --> 00:37:23,484
Some friends of mine are having
a party. How would you like to go?
393
00:37:23,658 --> 00:37:26,024
I'm not exactly dressed.
“What's the difference?
394
00:37:26,202 --> 00:37:30,536
We'll stop by for a half-hour
and I'll take you home, ok?
395
00:37:30,707 --> 00:37:34,325
Just for a half-hour? Then home?
396
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,297
- What can I do for you, sir?
- Where's the party?
397
00:37:41,468 --> 00:37:45,427
- I beg your pardon?
- The party the fellas are having.
398
00:37:47,348 --> 00:37:49,680
It's up in 205.
399
00:38:00,069 --> 00:38:04,028
It looks like my friends are late.
Or maybe we're early.
400
00:38:05,575 --> 00:38:08,191
What kind of a game are you playing?
401
00:38:08,369 --> 00:38:13,864
It's no game. Honest. I like you.
402
00:38:14,042 --> 00:38:18,411
- What's your name?
- Nellie. I told you in the store.
403
00:38:19,255 --> 00:38:24,124
Oh, yeah. Nellie. I like you, Nellie.
404
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:27,760
- I like you a lot.
- What's your name?
405
00:38:27,931 --> 00:38:29,967
George.
406
00:38:31,476 --> 00:38:33,637
How much did this room cost you?
407
00:38:37,023 --> 00:38:42,063
My name's Danny. Danny Fisher.
You comin' in?
408
00:38:44,989 --> 00:38:50,825
I don't know. I've never been
to a place like this before.
409
00:38:51,454 --> 00:38:55,493
But I want to see you again.
Is this the way?
410
00:38:58,378 --> 00:39:02,587
I've been looking at the door of
that lousy five-and-ten for a year.
411
00:39:03,591 --> 00:39:07,584
And today when you
walked in, I thought...
412
00:39:10,223 --> 00:39:13,966
What are you bawling about?
Stop bawling.
413
00:39:16,104 --> 00:39:21,064
I like you. That's the reason
I'm crying.
414
00:39:21,234 --> 00:39:24,647
I like you more than
I like anybody I know.
415
00:39:24,821 --> 00:39:30,441
And I don't even know you.
That's why I'm crying.
416
00:39:37,458 --> 00:39:39,790
The party's over. Let's go.
417
00:39:49,345 --> 00:39:52,178
I guess this is it.
418
00:39:52,348 --> 00:39:56,307
Good night, Danny.
I guess I'd better go upstairs now.
419
00:39:56,477 --> 00:39:58,513
Good night.
420
00:40:13,161 --> 00:40:15,903
I didn't mean nothing by it, honest.
421
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,391
But you played up to me
this afternoon.
422
00:40:17,415 --> 00:40:21,328
I thought you knew the score.
I'm sorry.
423
00:40:21,544 --> 00:40:24,035
I liked you right away, that's all.
424
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:31,752
I better go now.
Will I see you again, Danny?
425
00:40:32,847 --> 00:40:35,463
I don't know. You see,
426
00:40:35,642 --> 00:40:39,134
I'm pretty busy. I don't know.
427
00:40:41,105 --> 00:40:44,643
If you ever have the time,
I'd like to see you again.
428
00:40:46,611 --> 00:40:50,149
- Good night.
- Good night.
429
00:41:04,003 --> 00:41:06,085
Hey, schoolboy.
430
00:41:11,219 --> 00:41:13,301
I thought this was
gonna turn into a pumpkin.
431
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:16,429
You really showed maxie. You can sing.
432
00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:18,555
- So do you, I hear.
- I used to.
433
00:41:19,018 --> 00:41:21,805
Yeah, I met a guy named legrand.
434
00:41:21,980 --> 00:41:26,223
Charlie? He's a nice fellow. Smart, too.
435
00:41:26,401 --> 00:41:28,767
- He sounded broke to me.
- He is.
436
00:41:28,945 --> 00:41:32,813
- How smart do you call that?
- He owns the king creole.
437
00:41:32,991 --> 00:41:34,481
The only place on bourbon street
438
00:41:34,659 --> 00:41:38,618
without maxie's fingerprints
on the cash register. That's smart.
439
00:41:39,998 --> 00:41:43,490
That's a pretty piece of material.
440
00:41:43,668 --> 00:41:45,533
You ought to have a dress
made out of it.
441
00:41:47,046 --> 00:41:49,503
- Don't you like it?
- I love it.
442
00:41:51,092 --> 00:41:54,129
What do you say
we get together sometime
443
00:41:54,303 --> 00:41:58,296
and sing the old songs
or anything else you want to do?
444
00:41:58,474 --> 00:42:03,468
I'd like to. I can't.
I'd really like to, but I can't.
445
00:42:03,646 --> 00:42:07,059
- I get it.
- Maybe we'll meet by accident.
446
00:42:08,526 --> 00:42:12,314
Tell me where you think the accident
will take place, and I'll be there.
447
00:42:12,697 --> 00:42:15,188
It'll take place. Just don't rush it.
448
00:42:15,366 --> 00:42:19,279
- I'll be waiting.
- You'd better go now.
449
00:42:19,454 --> 00:42:22,946
- What's the rush?
- Maxie'll be here. You'd better go.
450
00:42:26,502 --> 00:42:30,211
Remember the cab, when you wouldn't
leave until I kissed you?
451
00:42:30,381 --> 00:42:32,793
I'm standing right here
until you kiss me.
452
00:42:42,935 --> 00:42:47,770
- I'll see you sometime.
- Boy, that's gonna be some accident.
453
00:43:13,257 --> 00:43:16,749
- Mimi, is pop awake yet?
- He left long ago.
454
00:43:30,108 --> 00:43:34,772
Mr. primont, for over 25 years,
I've been doing the same work,
455
00:43:34,946 --> 00:43:37,107
and I've filled a lot of prescriptions.
456
00:43:37,281 --> 00:43:40,364
- Now, in my opinion...
- I don't care.
457
00:43:41,661 --> 00:43:43,652
I'm running the store.
458
00:43:43,830 --> 00:43:47,869
Of course, sir. All I'm saying
is the mixture you're using...
459
00:43:48,042 --> 00:43:51,955
Will you shut up and
do things the way I say or get out.
460
00:43:52,713 --> 00:43:55,329
Put that jar back on
the counter where it belongs.
461
00:43:55,508 --> 00:43:59,217
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Danny.
462
00:44:00,388 --> 00:44:03,300
- Pop.
- What a pleasant surprise.
463
00:44:04,934 --> 00:44:06,890
- You been here long?
- No. I just walked in.
464
00:44:07,061 --> 00:44:09,643
- I wanted to wish you luck.
- Thank you.
465
00:44:09,814 --> 00:44:14,274
- Would you like to sit down?
- No, I wanted to talk to you, pop,
466
00:44:14,443 --> 00:44:18,152
but you were gone before
I even turned over this morning.
467
00:44:18,322 --> 00:44:21,189
- This job I keep.
- We'll talk about it tonight.
468
00:44:21,367 --> 00:44:24,279
Anything wrong here?
469
00:44:24,453 --> 00:44:29,072
Yes, I had a prescription filled here
and I got the wrong medicine.
470
00:44:29,250 --> 00:44:31,992
- It almost poisoned me.
- That pharmacist has left.
471
00:44:33,504 --> 00:44:36,166
Lucky for you this gentleman
knows what he's doing.
472
00:44:36,340 --> 00:44:39,673
Thanks to you, sir,
I'll be coming back. Good day, sir.
473
00:44:39,844 --> 00:44:43,132
- Good day, sir. Call again.
- I will.
474
00:45:14,003 --> 00:45:16,585
- Well, hello.
- Hi.
475
00:45:16,756 --> 00:45:19,293
I figured you'd decided
to stay with maxie.
476
00:45:19,467 --> 00:45:23,335
No, but...
I don't know what to do, Mr. legrand.
477
00:45:23,512 --> 00:45:26,470
My old man
wants me to go back to school.
478
00:45:27,350 --> 00:45:31,389
Sit down. What does he want you to be?
479
00:45:32,104 --> 00:45:35,938
He used to talk about me
becoming president,
480
00:45:36,108 --> 00:45:39,350
but I think he gave up on that idea.
481
00:45:41,197 --> 00:45:42,778
How much does a singing job pay?
482
00:45:42,949 --> 00:45:45,611
Here you start at scale, 85 a week.
483
00:45:45,785 --> 00:45:49,494
If they like you, you get more.
How does it sound?
484
00:45:49,664 --> 00:45:52,576
It sounds good, but...
485
00:45:52,750 --> 00:45:56,163
I never sang professionally
before. I don't know if I can.
486
00:45:56,337 --> 00:45:58,874
- You did it last night.
- Last night I was mad.
487
00:45:59,048 --> 00:46:00,629
So stay mad.
488
00:46:01,676 --> 00:46:04,292
You've sold me.
If I could just sell my old man.
489
00:46:04,470 --> 00:46:09,134
If you do as he says and go
to school, what about after school?
490
00:46:09,850 --> 00:46:14,264
No deal. He says I do the studying,
he does the working.
491
00:46:15,064 --> 00:46:17,396
Only, I saw him do the work.
492
00:46:19,443 --> 00:46:24,688
You hate to see someone crawl,
especially your own father.
493
00:46:25,700 --> 00:46:29,033
I pushed him into that job,
but $85 a week could get him out.
494
00:46:29,203 --> 00:46:33,116
- Let me talk to him.
- I've known him since I was born.
495
00:46:33,291 --> 00:46:35,498
- Invite me to dinner.
- You're wasting your time.
496
00:46:35,668 --> 00:46:38,660
It's a free meal. You afraid of him?
497
00:46:38,838 --> 00:46:41,420
- No.
- Then invite me.
498
00:46:42,216 --> 00:46:44,878
You're invited.
29 royal street, all the way up.
499
00:46:45,261 --> 00:46:47,627
29 royal.
500
00:46:48,556 --> 00:46:54,472
- Ronnie says you're smart.
- Does she? She ought to know.
501
00:46:54,645 --> 00:46:58,763
She could have had a career.
Not that she hasn't got one.
502
00:46:58,941 --> 00:47:01,398
Maxie fields. There's a name for you.
503
00:47:01,569 --> 00:47:03,730
Everything he touches turns to drink.
504
00:47:04,363 --> 00:47:05,478
You know him all right.
505
00:47:05,656 --> 00:47:10,867
Know him? Maxie and I go a
long way back. We were kids together.
506
00:47:11,037 --> 00:47:13,653
I remember the first words
that came out of his mouth...
507
00:47:13,831 --> 00:47:17,449
- "Stick 'em up."
- See you at dinner.
508
00:47:20,046 --> 00:47:23,755
No, you don't understand how I feel,
and you won't watch out for him
509
00:47:23,924 --> 00:47:27,257
like he's your own son,
because he's not your son.
510
00:47:27,428 --> 00:47:31,671
Mr. Fisher, you keep speaking
of Danny having a profession.
511
00:47:31,849 --> 00:47:35,888
Singing is a profession. All right,
so he's starting in the sewer.
512
00:47:36,062 --> 00:47:39,429
Sewers run under the best cities,
513
00:47:39,607 --> 00:47:41,814
some lead to the fanciest plumbing
at the ritz.
514
00:47:41,984 --> 00:47:43,099
But Danny isn't a plumber.
515
00:47:43,277 --> 00:47:46,144
- What I meant...
- I know what you meant.
516
00:47:46,322 --> 00:47:49,359
The answer is no.
I'm sorry, Mr. legrand.
517
00:47:49,533 --> 00:47:51,615
You're not sorry.
518
00:47:51,786 --> 00:47:56,450
Why don't you ask him what he wants?
The boy has an unusual talent.
519
00:47:56,624 --> 00:47:57,909
Let him think for himself.
520
00:47:58,084 --> 00:48:00,826
You have no right
to ask these questions.
521
00:48:01,545 --> 00:48:04,628
Mimi, will you
please get Mr. legrand's hat?
522
00:48:04,799 --> 00:48:06,835
All right, pop.
523
00:48:08,219 --> 00:48:10,676
Thanks for dinner, Mimi.
You're some cook.
524
00:48:10,846 --> 00:48:11,881
Thanks.
525
00:48:12,056 --> 00:48:16,265
I may be leaving empty-handed,
but everywhere else I'm full.
526
00:48:16,435 --> 00:48:18,642
I'm going out for a while, pa.
527
00:48:19,355 --> 00:48:22,097
I'd like to speak to you again about this.
528
00:48:22,274 --> 00:48:25,892
- Maybe have a drink, talk it over.
- I don't drink.
529
00:48:28,406 --> 00:48:32,570
No, I didn't think you did.
Goodbye, Danny.
530
00:48:41,377 --> 00:48:43,117
Why'd you bring a man like that here?
531
00:48:43,295 --> 00:48:48,335
You didn't have to talk like that.
He thinks I can do a job for him.
532
00:48:48,509 --> 00:48:52,127
But you don't care what he thinks
or what I think, for that matter.
533
00:48:52,304 --> 00:48:54,386
- What do you want?
- A pink convertible.
534
00:48:54,557 --> 00:48:59,972
- Then register at school.
- Pa, I got a very average brain.
535
00:49:00,146 --> 00:49:03,183
I'm not a brilliant student.
Do you understand?
536
00:49:03,357 --> 00:49:06,724
- I don't wanna crawl.
- Is that what I do?
537
00:49:06,902 --> 00:49:09,359
You have no choice.
They got you on the run early.
538
00:49:09,530 --> 00:49:12,397
No! That's not the truth! I've fought...
539
00:49:12,575 --> 00:49:16,784
You fought! Sure, you fought!
You back-pedaled all the way.
540
00:49:17,496 --> 00:49:21,284
I saw what happened today, pa,
and it's not gonna happen to me.
541
00:49:21,459 --> 00:49:24,872
Legrand's got 85 bucks a week
for me to be a performer.
542
00:49:25,045 --> 00:49:27,627
I'll take a chance.
“What about school?
543
00:49:27,798 --> 00:49:29,254
- I went.
- And failed.
544
00:49:29,425 --> 00:49:31,461
I'm through failing.
545
00:49:37,391 --> 00:49:40,349
If you were older
I'd ask you for a drink with me.
546
00:49:40,519 --> 00:49:43,556
- I'm old enough to have a drink.
- Swell. Let's go.
547
00:49:43,731 --> 00:49:47,144
Not tonight. It would look kind of funny.
548
00:49:47,318 --> 00:49:49,183
Tomorrow night?
549
00:49:49,361 --> 00:49:53,274
- I'll pick you up at nine.
- All right, it's a date.
550
00:49:53,449 --> 00:49:55,064
You know, I was wondering,
551
00:49:55,242 --> 00:49:59,326
is there anything in particular
a man of 40 says to a girl of 207?
552
00:50:01,207 --> 00:50:04,324
- Say you're 38.
- Yeah.
553
00:50:09,882 --> 00:50:12,874
- Sorry, Mr. legrand.
- That's all right.
554
00:50:13,052 --> 00:50:15,008
Mind if I have a drink with your sister?
555
00:50:15,721 --> 00:50:18,178
You know I don't care,
but check with the old man.
556
00:50:18,349 --> 00:50:22,809
- He won't make a singer out of me...
- No, he's gonna make one out of me.
557
00:50:22,978 --> 00:50:26,311
- Do we sign papers or shake hands?
- We shake hands.
558
00:50:26,482 --> 00:50:29,895
After you open and you're a smash,
we'll sign papers.
559
00:50:30,069 --> 00:50:32,606
- I'll be at the club tomorrow.
- Good.
560
00:50:33,531 --> 00:50:37,570
Rock and roll at the king creole!
The hottest show in town!
561
00:50:37,743 --> 00:50:41,486
Fabulous forty Nina doing
the dance that started the gold rush!
562
00:50:41,664 --> 00:50:45,248
And tonight,
the new sensation of bourbon street,
563
00:50:45,417 --> 00:50:47,749
Danny "boom boom" Fisher!
564
00:52:07,166 --> 00:52:11,705
The old man wouldn't come?
Some father.
565
00:52:11,879 --> 00:52:15,087
- He's a good father.
- But a lousy audience.
566
00:52:53,712 --> 00:52:58,046
Here we go. You'll be great tonight.
I heard you rehearsing.
567
00:52:58,217 --> 00:53:01,835
- What songs you sing, folk songs?
- I guess so.
568
00:53:02,012 --> 00:53:04,503
That's what I thought. What planet?
569
00:53:05,808 --> 00:53:08,720
Just laughing it up. No offense.
570
00:53:12,356 --> 00:53:13,812
Nervous? “A little.
571
00:53:13,982 --> 00:53:17,349
I wanted you to know the place isn't full.
572
00:53:17,528 --> 00:53:20,019
But half a house can hate you
as hard as a full house.
573
00:53:20,197 --> 00:53:23,860
As far as you're concerned,
the place is jammed.
574
00:53:24,034 --> 00:53:25,865
They're expecting the best.
575
00:53:26,036 --> 00:53:29,870
I'm glad you told me. I'm not nervous
now. I'm scared to death.
576
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,907
Just sing like you're mad,
you'll be a smash.
577
00:53:33,919 --> 00:53:37,457
The biggest words in showbiz,
"you're on."
578
00:53:44,430 --> 00:53:47,718
Ladies and gentlemen,
the moment you've been waiting for.
579
00:53:47,891 --> 00:53:51,850
King creole presents
a young man with a big future.
580
00:53:52,020 --> 00:53:57,105
The sensation of bourbon street,
the boy with the beat, Danny Fisher!
581
00:55:57,104 --> 00:56:01,438
- Eddie! Put his name up in lights.
- Right.
582
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,162
- Hey, Danny.
- Hi.
583
00:56:17,332 --> 00:56:19,493
You busy? Ok. We got a date.
584
00:56:19,668 --> 00:56:21,329
- Where?
- I'll show you.
585
00:56:27,718 --> 00:56:31,336
We're almost there. It's just around
this bend. Wait till you see it.
586
00:56:34,016 --> 00:56:39,101
You don't know how I was hoping you'd
come by. I don't even understand it.
587
00:56:40,022 --> 00:56:43,514
I mean, lots of fellas have come
into the store asking for a date.
588
00:56:43,692 --> 00:56:46,900
Just like you. Making cracks.
589
00:56:48,780 --> 00:56:51,613
You were even worse.
You came in to Rob the store.
590
00:56:52,826 --> 00:56:56,410
But I was looking
for you when I came out.
591
00:56:56,580 --> 00:57:01,244
Then you took me to that hotel,
and I went with you.
592
00:57:02,294 --> 00:57:06,003
I don't understand it.
I thought I was a nice girl.
593
00:57:06,173 --> 00:57:08,459
You are a nice girl, Nellie.
594
00:57:08,634 --> 00:57:11,216
I've been thinking about that night,
and I'm sorry.
595
00:57:11,386 --> 00:57:13,718
Yeah, me, too. I told you before...
596
00:57:13,889 --> 00:57:17,473
No, Danny, that's not
what I'm sorry about.
597
00:57:19,102 --> 00:57:21,388
It's like everything just started with you.
598
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:27,809
I guess both of us did something
that day we'd never done before.
599
00:57:27,986 --> 00:57:32,946
I never robbed a store. There's
a last time for everything, too.
600
00:57:33,492 --> 00:57:37,735
I didn't mean it.
Wait. See that house over there?
601
00:57:37,913 --> 00:57:42,156
Way over there? See it?
That used to be our house.
602
00:57:43,877 --> 00:57:47,210
Pa bought it when I was eight.
Kind of a birthday present.
603
00:57:49,007 --> 00:57:50,747
We had a lot of happy times there.
604
00:57:51,218 --> 00:57:54,836
I'll buy that house back someday,
or one just like it.
605
00:57:55,013 --> 00:57:59,177
And I guarantee you, nobody's gonna
take it away from me. Nobody.
606
00:57:59,685 --> 00:58:02,722
I told my mother about you.
607
00:58:02,896 --> 00:58:04,727
I told her I met
a million-dollar boyfriend
608
00:58:04,898 --> 00:58:07,310
in a five-and-ten-cent store.
609
00:58:10,445 --> 00:58:15,030
Danny, aren't you ever
going to kiss me tonight?
610
00:58:17,077 --> 00:58:21,036
Nellie, don't fall in love with me.
611
00:58:21,206 --> 00:58:24,619
Love means getting married,
having kids.
612
00:58:24,793 --> 00:58:26,329
I don't even know who I am yet.
613
00:58:27,504 --> 00:58:30,621
- Who do you have to be?
- I don't wanna be like my old man.
614
00:58:32,843 --> 00:58:38,338
Love, marriage, having kids.
I wanna be somebody first.
615
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,756
Do you know a better way?
616
00:58:43,854 --> 00:58:46,186
You could still kiss me.
617
00:58:54,990 --> 00:58:58,608
Just leave it at that, Nellie.
For now, anyway.
618
00:58:59,161 --> 00:59:03,245
Just so it was you I wanted
to be with to show my house to.
619
01:01:29,311 --> 01:01:32,269
Hurry up! Your breakfast is getting cold.
620
01:01:33,648 --> 01:01:35,138
Ok, I'm coming.
621
01:01:35,317 --> 01:01:39,276
Big shot. Sing a few songs
and right away sleep all morning?
622
01:01:39,446 --> 01:01:41,812
You're a little behind yourself.
623
01:01:41,990 --> 01:01:45,027
Mr. legrand kept me up
half the night talking about you.
624
01:01:45,202 --> 01:01:48,160
- What happened the other half?
- Why, you!
625
01:01:50,248 --> 01:01:53,581
Charlie's a very fine man.
I could like him a lot.
626
01:01:55,003 --> 01:01:58,291
- You seen pop this morning?
- For a minute.
627
01:01:58,465 --> 01:02:00,501
Did he ask how it went last night?
628
01:02:00,675 --> 01:02:04,042
- I told him they all applauded.
- What did he say?
629
01:02:04,888 --> 01:02:07,880
- You know pop.
- What did he say?
630
01:02:10,477 --> 01:02:13,093
He said wash your hands
before you bring him his lunch.
631
01:02:16,233 --> 01:02:18,315
Sounds like pop.
632
01:02:19,986 --> 01:02:21,942
Here.
633
01:02:26,159 --> 01:02:30,949
I don't care how long you've been
writing prescriptions.
634
01:02:31,122 --> 01:02:34,034
Will you ever understand
that I'm running the store?
635
01:02:34,209 --> 01:02:35,494
I understand, Mr. primont.
636
01:02:35,669 --> 01:02:38,786
You understand, Mr. primont,
you understand, Mr. primont!
637
01:02:38,964 --> 01:02:44,254
That's what you're paid for. You
can't teach an old dog new tricks.
638
01:02:44,427 --> 01:02:46,918
- I'm not an old dog.
- Don't answer me back!
639
01:02:47,097 --> 01:02:50,965
Mop up this floor. Go ahead and take it.
640
01:02:51,142 --> 01:02:53,178
Mop over there.
641
01:03:01,903 --> 01:03:06,647
Hey, Danny. You know you got
this whole street buzzin'?
642
01:03:06,825 --> 01:03:09,862
- Yeah?
- They say you're the next somebody.
643
01:03:10,036 --> 01:03:12,618
I knew you
when you were singing for watches.
644
01:03:12,789 --> 01:03:15,201
It's a little early to reminisce, shark.
645
01:03:15,375 --> 01:03:17,536
Maxie fields wants to see you.
646
01:03:17,711 --> 01:03:20,828
- I don't wanna see him.
- I have to bring you.
647
01:03:21,006 --> 01:03:23,497
Maxie's no guy to give the brush to.
648
01:03:23,675 --> 01:03:27,008
He can get rough if he wants to.
You know what I mean.
649
01:03:27,178 --> 01:03:30,670
Let him make a reservation.
There's three shows a night.
650
01:03:30,849 --> 01:03:35,559
That drugstore you just come out,
that's where your old man works.
651
01:03:35,729 --> 01:03:36,764
So?
652
01:03:36,938 --> 01:03:40,522
Nothin". I just go in there
and get cigarettes once in a while.
653
01:03:40,692 --> 01:03:44,435
If my old man was getting knocked
around like that, I'd help him.
654
01:03:46,239 --> 01:03:49,447
- I been working on it.
- I'll make you a deal.
655
01:03:49,617 --> 01:03:52,575
You come see maxie fields,
I'll try to work up an angle.
656
01:03:52,746 --> 01:03:56,864
You never can tell. You do me
a favor, and I'll do you one.
657
01:04:00,754 --> 01:04:01,869
Where's fields?
658
01:04:03,089 --> 01:04:07,583
I'll take you to him. I'm on
his payroll now. I'm one of his boys.
659
01:04:07,761 --> 01:04:12,300
And that drugstore situation,
it'll clear up just like that.
660
01:04:26,488 --> 01:04:32,199
- This is it. Come on, walk right in.
- Hiya, pal. Shark treating you ok?
661
01:04:33,203 --> 01:04:35,319
Up them stairs. Maxie's expecting you.
662
01:04:35,497 --> 01:04:38,034
- Aren't you coming?
- I'll wait here.
663
01:04:57,685 --> 01:05:00,347
- This is where you live?
- This is where I visit.
664
01:05:00,522 --> 01:05:04,140
What's all the chatter? Send the kid in.
665
01:05:08,655 --> 01:05:13,445
Hi, Danny. I hear you're a smash.
Good news travels fast.
666
01:05:13,618 --> 01:05:17,827
- Sit down. Care for a drink?
- No, thanks.
667
01:05:17,997 --> 01:05:20,784
- Was there anything special?
- No, nothing special.
668
01:05:20,959 --> 01:05:22,995
Just a friendly get-together.
669
01:05:23,169 --> 01:05:27,833
I'm interested in any new attraction.
It's good for all of us.
670
01:05:28,425 --> 01:05:29,835
Then again, you never know.
671
01:05:30,009 --> 01:05:33,342
What's friendly one day
is business the next.
672
01:05:36,933 --> 01:05:40,016
You got good taste, Danny.
But you got to be able to afford it.
673
01:05:40,186 --> 01:05:42,302
Ronnie wants money
even to serve a drink.
674
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,438
- Maxie, please.
- Serve the kid a drink.
675
01:05:45,608 --> 01:05:47,269
I don't want a drink.
676
01:05:47,444 --> 01:05:51,687
Ronnie won a contest once.
Best legs in the state of...
677
01:05:51,865 --> 01:05:54,652
- Where's that you're from, honey?
- Maine.
678
01:05:54,826 --> 01:05:57,613
That's it. Maine. Show the kid your legs.
679
01:05:58,037 --> 01:05:59,447
Maxie, please.
680
01:05:59,831 --> 01:06:04,200
You won a contest with them legs.
Must have been 2,000 people watching.
681
01:06:04,377 --> 01:06:06,663
Don't be embarrassed.
Show the kid what won.
682
01:06:10,425 --> 01:06:12,507
All right, maxie.
683
01:06:15,013 --> 01:06:18,471
Pretty good, huh? There's nothing
wrong with the rest of it.
684
01:06:18,641 --> 01:06:19,641
I gotta get going.
685
01:06:19,809 --> 01:06:23,677
I just wanted this little chat,
get to know you.
686
01:06:23,855 --> 01:06:27,643
I like to see people get ahead.
And like I said, who knows?
687
01:06:27,817 --> 01:06:29,808
Maybe someday we'll do business.
688
01:06:29,986 --> 01:06:33,444
- You may be working for me again.
- I don't think so, Mr. fields.
689
01:06:33,615 --> 01:06:38,109
You never can tell.
After all, I saw you first.
690
01:06:38,286 --> 01:06:43,076
I admit, I was put out when you quit
to go with a crumb like legrand.
691
01:06:43,249 --> 01:06:46,286
Charlie's no crumb.
He's a decent fella.
692
01:06:47,045 --> 01:06:51,004
Oh, I forgot.
I forgot about him and your sister.
693
01:06:51,174 --> 01:06:53,415
This has been
quite a week for Charlie.
694
01:06:53,593 --> 01:06:56,676
First, he finds a singer,
then he finds a girl.
695
01:06:57,013 --> 01:07:00,676
- You're some talented family.
- What are you trying to say?
696
01:07:01,059 --> 01:07:04,972
I got only one thing to say, kid.
I don't like losing things.
697
01:07:05,146 --> 01:07:09,105
I don't mind taking, but I don't
like to lose. Not even a busboy.
698
01:07:09,275 --> 01:07:14,645
When I lose something, I want it
back, and I get it. That's all.
699
01:07:14,822 --> 01:07:18,406
You got a long way to go, boy.
Lots and lots of good luck.
700
01:07:18,576 --> 01:07:20,817
Show him to the door, honey.
701
01:07:27,544 --> 01:07:31,833
Don't come back here
anymore, Danny. Stay far, far away.
702
01:07:32,006 --> 01:07:34,839
Thanks. I could give you
the same advice.
703
01:07:35,009 --> 01:07:38,001
As Maine goes, so goes maxie fields.
704
01:07:39,931 --> 01:07:43,640
Maxie buzzed me.
I was downstairs, and he buzzed me.
705
01:07:44,978 --> 01:07:47,264
- Shark!
- Yes, Mr. fields?
706
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,568
Come here, shark. I wanna talk
to you. Get some ice, Ronnie.
707
01:07:55,738 --> 01:07:58,070
Yes, Mr. fields. What can I do for you?
708
01:07:58,241 --> 01:08:02,701
Come on. Move it.
What have you got on this Fisher kid?
709
01:08:02,870 --> 01:08:07,660
Nothing much. He helped us do a
little job on the five-and-ten once.
710
01:08:07,834 --> 01:08:11,577
Not big enough.
I wanna twist real hard. Work on it.
711
01:08:11,754 --> 01:08:15,087
That's funny, Mr. fields.
I just got an idea.
712
01:08:15,258 --> 01:08:18,466
It's his old man.
He works in a drugstore...
713
01:08:20,972 --> 01:08:23,463
Just in time, ladies.
Hope you made reservations.
714
01:10:56,252 --> 01:10:59,289
- Wasn't Danny wonderful tonight?
- Yes, wonderful.
715
01:10:59,464 --> 01:11:02,251
He gets better all the time.
716
01:11:02,425 --> 01:11:04,666
- Hi, Danny.
- Nina?
717
01:11:04,844 --> 01:11:09,258
If my girl Nellie comes by tell her
I got something to take care of.
718
01:11:09,807 --> 01:11:12,093
You're the boy who can do it.
719
01:11:18,608 --> 01:11:21,566
Boy, that kid is
sure bringing in the business.
720
01:11:21,736 --> 01:11:25,854
He's ruining my performance,
there's nothing but women out there.
721
01:11:26,032 --> 01:11:30,275
They don't want to see me.
Tonight one yelled, "leave it on!"
722
01:11:30,453 --> 01:11:33,536
- Maybe I should do the strip.
- Why don't you?
723
01:11:33,706 --> 01:11:37,915
Eddie? I'll be a little late
for the next show.
724
01:11:47,053 --> 01:11:50,637
There's old man primont
with the dough for the bank.
725
01:11:50,807 --> 01:11:52,923
I hope he doesn't leave
before Danny gets here.
726
01:12:02,276 --> 01:12:04,358
It's almost 11.
727
01:12:04,529 --> 01:12:07,066
Just don't leave, mister,
till Danny gets here.
728
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:10,277
- You sure he's gonna be here?
- He'll be here.
729
01:12:11,410 --> 01:12:15,198
I gotta hand it to you, shark.
You sure are a good salesman.
730
01:12:15,373 --> 01:12:17,329
Here comes the pigeon.
731
01:12:22,797 --> 01:12:24,597
- I tried to get you on the phone.
- What for?
732
01:12:24,632 --> 01:12:27,965
Call it off. You don't owe me.
You were hot for this before.
733
01:12:28,135 --> 01:12:30,672
- I've been thinking...
- It works both ways.
734
01:12:30,847 --> 01:12:35,307
We get the money, you get
this drugstore situation sorted.
735
01:12:35,476 --> 01:12:38,559
- The old man wouldn't...
- He would if he could.
736
01:12:40,314 --> 01:12:43,226
Look. Primont's getting ready
to leave.
737
01:12:44,151 --> 01:12:48,440
You go on home. You know where
the bank is, drop this off.
738
01:12:48,614 --> 01:12:52,402
- I'll finish up the inventory.
- I hope it stops raining.
739
01:12:52,577 --> 01:12:55,660
- Take my hat and coat.
- I didn't mean it that way.
740
01:12:55,830 --> 01:12:58,822
- No, go ahead and take it.
- Thank you.
741
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:00,581
All right, have it your way,
742
01:13:00,751 --> 01:13:03,493
but don't you say
you never had the chance.
743
01:13:04,589 --> 01:13:06,671
All right, there he is.
There's primont.
744
01:13:10,344 --> 01:13:13,586
Are you with us or not?
It's for your old man, you know.
745
01:13:28,029 --> 01:13:31,692
- That's Danny's father!
- We take him anyway.
746
01:13:31,866 --> 01:13:36,075
- Sharky, it's his old man!
- How do we know? We just play dumb.
747
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:45,326
Do you know where front street is?
748
01:13:45,630 --> 01:13:50,670
No, young man, I don't.
I don't know where front street is.
749
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:12,062
Can't figure this kid.
He's been in there for half an hour.
750
01:14:12,239 --> 01:14:15,447
He looked sick when he came back.
751
01:14:15,618 --> 01:14:18,234
- I've got to see Danny.
- So does that audience.
752
01:14:18,412 --> 01:14:20,653
- He's in there, Nellie.
- Danny?
753
01:14:22,959 --> 01:14:26,292
It's your father.
Mimi phoned from the hospital.
754
01:14:26,462 --> 01:14:30,671
Some thugs beat him up.
She wants me to bring you there.
755
01:14:31,467 --> 01:14:32,502
Oh, no.
756
01:14:32,677 --> 01:14:35,760
He was going to the bank
and they jumped him.
757
01:14:36,889 --> 01:14:39,221
He's in bad shape, Danny.
758
01:14:39,392 --> 01:14:41,883
Mimi and Charlie
are at the hospital now.
759
01:14:48,401 --> 01:14:51,313
- Is he all right, doc?
- He's alive. Just.
760
01:14:51,487 --> 01:14:54,524
There's been damage to the brain.
We've relieved the pressure
761
01:14:54,699 --> 01:14:59,159
but he'll need another operation
immediately, a delicate one.
762
01:15:00,246 --> 01:15:03,955
Dr. Martin cabot has performed
this kind of operation.
763
01:15:04,125 --> 01:15:07,959
- Is he good?
- He's the best, but expensive.
764
01:15:08,129 --> 01:15:12,213
- How expensive?
- A couple of thousand, maybe more.
765
01:15:13,634 --> 01:15:17,172
I'm still deep in hock,
but maybe I can scrape up 500.
766
01:15:18,973 --> 01:15:20,213
We'll get it some way.
767
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,806
Dr. Patrick. Where's this man?
Where's this Fisher?
768
01:15:29,984 --> 01:15:31,599
Dr. cabot!
769
01:15:31,777 --> 01:15:35,486
It took me a year to wangle
this dinner invitation. Lucy pitman.
770
01:15:35,656 --> 01:15:38,819
Anything for maxie fields. Thank you.
771
01:15:39,618 --> 01:15:41,950
- You the boy?
- Yes, sir.
772
01:15:42,121 --> 01:15:43,611
Mr. fields must be very fond of you.
773
01:15:43,789 --> 01:15:47,202
Says you used to work for him.
He wanted to help out.
774
01:15:48,085 --> 01:15:49,871
Let's go.
775
01:15:50,046 --> 01:15:53,413
When you work for maxie fields,
it's better than blue cross.
776
01:15:53,591 --> 01:15:55,627
What's the case?
777
01:16:04,685 --> 01:16:09,054
They've been in there for hours.
Must be some kind of world's record.
778
01:16:19,784 --> 01:16:23,493
- He made it.
- Thank god.
779
01:16:23,662 --> 01:16:26,244
I'm going home, no sense
in going to that dinner party.
780
01:16:26,415 --> 01:16:29,657
- Lucy gives me a pain anyway.
- Thank you, doctor.
781
01:16:29,835 --> 01:16:32,451
He'll be all right. May
take a little while.
782
01:16:32,630 --> 01:16:35,042
But he's a strong man. A real fighter.
783
01:16:35,216 --> 01:16:37,673
But, doc, about maxie fields. How...
784
01:16:37,843 --> 01:16:42,507
Strange man, isn't he?
Very coarse, vulgar, very powerful.
785
01:16:43,432 --> 01:16:45,764
Send him my best. I'll send him my bill.
786
01:16:45,935 --> 01:16:48,142
Thank you, doctor.
787
01:16:54,944 --> 01:16:59,483
I'll pay him back, sis.
I'll pay every cent.
788
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:12,750
I got a lot of payin' back to do.
A lot of payin' back.
789
01:17:15,047 --> 01:17:18,335
There'll be plenty
of tables for everyone!
790
01:17:18,509 --> 01:17:20,966
Just stay in line and don't go away.
791
01:17:21,137 --> 01:17:23,628
This kid is absolutely sensational!
792
01:17:23,806 --> 01:17:27,139
Just be patient, folks.
It won't be very long now.
793
01:17:28,018 --> 01:17:30,304
- Good evening, folks.
- Hi!
794
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:32,686
- How's your father?
- Much better.
795
01:17:32,857 --> 01:17:36,645
Let her through, folks.
Her brother pays the bills.
796
01:17:46,704 --> 01:17:49,662
Sorry I'm late.
Just a final check on pop.
797
01:17:49,832 --> 01:17:53,416
- Everything ok?
- He's coming home tomorrow.
798
01:17:53,586 --> 01:17:55,122
It's been a long four weeks.
799
01:20:34,371 --> 01:20:37,408
- What do you want?
- Mr. fields would like to see you.
800
01:20:37,583 --> 01:20:39,949
- What about?
- Just wants to see you.
801
01:20:40,127 --> 01:20:44,370
- I don't want to see him.
- You don't understand the job I got.
802
01:20:44,548 --> 01:20:47,540
When maxie says bring somebody,
I gotta bring 'em.
803
01:20:47,718 --> 01:20:51,085
So I'll make it short and sweet.
He wants to see you.
804
01:20:51,263 --> 01:20:55,927
Here's the key to his apartment.
Just go upstairs and turn the lock.
805
01:20:56,101 --> 01:20:58,513
You understand?
806
01:20:58,687 --> 01:21:01,429
For a little guy, you make a lot of noise.
807
01:21:01,607 --> 01:21:06,977
I'm remembering a rainy night
and a man carrying a bag of money.
808
01:21:07,154 --> 01:21:10,817
Your old man's been in hospital
about a month, ain't that right?
809
01:21:10,991 --> 01:21:14,199
He gets out tomorrow.
I'm real glad about that.
810
01:21:15,954 --> 01:21:19,492
Just take this here key.
You know where it is.
811
01:21:22,127 --> 01:21:25,665
I should have finished
you off a long time ago.
812
01:21:33,097 --> 01:21:34,257
Come on.
813
01:21:45,901 --> 01:21:47,687
You're working for maxie, too?
814
01:21:47,861 --> 01:21:51,194
- We're all working for maxie now.
- That figures.
815
01:21:51,365 --> 01:21:54,357
- Go right on up.
- Thanks, pal.
816
01:22:11,635 --> 01:22:13,375
Come on in. I've been waiting for you.
817
01:22:21,103 --> 01:22:24,937
It's a nice night for an accident.
Yeah.
818
01:22:25,107 --> 01:22:27,223
Where's fields?
I'm supposed to see him.
819
01:22:27,401 --> 01:22:29,437
You want to see him?
820
01:22:30,821 --> 01:22:32,903
Come with me.
821
01:22:43,167 --> 01:22:48,753
There he is. Out and gone.
Isn't he sweet?
822
01:22:48,922 --> 01:22:54,258
Every time I see him lying down,
I keep looking at his chest, hoping.
823
01:22:54,428 --> 01:22:57,170
But the pig keeps right on breathing.
824
01:22:59,308 --> 01:23:02,675
- I guess he can't see me tonight.
- Danny, wait.
825
01:23:02,853 --> 01:23:06,971
He didn't want to see you tonight.
He wanted me to see you.
826
01:23:07,149 --> 01:23:11,142
- What about?
- He wants you to go to work for him.
827
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:15,108
What are you supposed to do?
“Whatever I can do about it.
828
01:23:15,949 --> 01:23:18,941
- Your heart wouldn't be in it.
- You wouldn't miss it.
829
01:23:19,995 --> 01:23:23,112
Would you like a drink?
Would you like a cigarette?
830
01:23:24,166 --> 01:23:28,409
Shall we talk”? Can I do anything
for you? Anything at all?
831
01:23:28,587 --> 01:23:32,330
The general idea is
I'm supposed to befriend you.
832
01:23:33,550 --> 01:23:39,295
- You know, for a...
- For a bum? A tramp? For what?
833
01:23:39,473 --> 01:23:43,341
I was just gonna say you got
a pretty good way of talking.
834
01:23:43,519 --> 01:23:46,807
A lot of tramps
graduate school with honors.
835
01:23:46,980 --> 01:23:50,689
- As a matter of fact, me.
- I flunked without honors.
836
01:23:52,528 --> 01:23:56,271
I'm sorry, but I don't think
I can handle this set-up.
837
01:23:56,448 --> 01:24:01,738
- This is a set-up, isn't it?
- It was all fixed in advance.
838
01:24:03,455 --> 01:24:06,697
You tell maxie fields
that I wasn't in the mood.
839
01:24:06,875 --> 01:24:10,663
I'll be square with him in a few
months, that's how I wanna keep it.
840
01:24:11,088 --> 01:24:13,795
Danny, I wish you wouldn't go.
841
01:24:13,966 --> 01:24:17,675
This isn't the accident, honey.
842
01:24:17,844 --> 01:24:21,211
That happened that
first morning in the blue shade.
843
01:24:21,390 --> 01:24:24,632
From then on, everything's been
fixed like a crooked fight.
844
01:24:25,852 --> 01:24:30,141
And you're wrong about the heart.
I do miss it.
845
01:24:30,315 --> 01:24:33,603
I miss it so much I may marry a girl
because she has one to give.
846
01:24:33,777 --> 01:24:37,440
- I'm not asking you to marry me.
- You're asking me something.
847
01:24:37,614 --> 01:24:42,199
- You're a little tight, aren't you?
- I'm not tight. I'm drunk.
848
01:24:42,369 --> 01:24:44,655
But I'll tell you what you are.
849
01:24:44,830 --> 01:24:50,120
You're being rude, condemning me,
and ignoring my god-given charms.
850
01:24:50,836 --> 01:24:54,124
God didn't give you the charms
for what you're using them for.
851
01:24:55,591 --> 01:24:59,425
That's funny. And I read
the instructions so carefully.
852
01:25:02,556 --> 01:25:06,390
Please don't go. Come here.
I want to show you something.
853
01:25:10,772 --> 01:25:11,807
Look.
854
01:25:16,236 --> 01:25:17,897
What's he doing down there?
855
01:25:18,071 --> 01:25:22,189
He has orders from the pig
to clock your entrance and exit.
856
01:25:22,367 --> 01:25:25,359
You're supposed
to spend a few hours here,
857
01:25:25,537 --> 01:25:29,246
and in those few hours,
acquire the habit of coming back.
858
01:25:31,668 --> 01:25:35,957
In due time, Mr. fields will approach
you with a bill for my graciousness.
859
01:25:36,131 --> 01:25:39,715
- Double-cross Charlie legrand.
- Exactly.
860
01:25:39,885 --> 01:25:42,501
What if I leave now?
861
01:25:42,679 --> 01:25:45,637
Then the pig will punish me
for having failed.
862
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:49,763
If you were kind,
you'd stay for a few hours
863
01:25:49,936 --> 01:25:52,348
and just pretend like you like me.
864
01:25:52,522 --> 01:25:56,606
We could smoke some cigarettes,
play some music.
865
01:25:56,777 --> 01:25:59,359
Just make it seem
as though I have charm.
866
01:26:00,113 --> 01:26:05,358
I could sing some songs for you.
I used to be a singer, you know.
867
01:26:07,621 --> 01:26:09,657
Yes, I did.
868
01:26:27,557 --> 01:26:31,641
You remember that one?
Yeah. That's a real oldie.
869
01:26:31,812 --> 01:26:34,098
Used to be my theme song.
870
01:26:36,191 --> 01:26:40,685
I ask you to stay because
I hate to be punished by Mr. fields.
871
01:26:40,862 --> 01:26:42,773
He's not a very sensitive man.
872
01:26:46,410 --> 01:26:50,278
All right. I'll stay.
873
01:26:52,708 --> 01:26:55,700
And I think you are charming.
874
01:26:57,421 --> 01:27:01,755
- I don't use that word, but you are.
- Thank you.
875
01:27:03,260 --> 01:27:04,420
- Ronnie.
- I'm sorry.
876
01:27:04,594 --> 01:27:07,631
Don't cry.
You'll wake up the circus master.
877
01:27:07,806 --> 01:27:11,048
Danny, hold me. Hold me, please.
878
01:27:11,226 --> 01:27:13,968
What are you doing with this man?
879
01:27:15,147 --> 01:27:18,981
- How'd you get into this?
- How do you get out?
880
01:27:26,074 --> 01:27:29,111
No, no. Not in this house.
881
01:27:29,286 --> 01:27:32,073
I wouldn't know if it was because
I wanted you or maxie did.
882
01:27:32,247 --> 01:27:35,535
- Maxie has nothing to do with it.
- I wouldn't be too sure.
883
01:27:35,709 --> 01:27:40,749
Sorry to intrude. I don't mind
you two wrestling around,
884
01:27:40,922 --> 01:27:43,208
but as everyone knows,
wrestling is all a fake.
885
01:27:43,383 --> 01:27:46,090
Let's not forget
who's supposed to win: Me.
886
01:27:46,261 --> 01:27:50,595
- I told you, I won't work for you.
- It's too bad.
887
01:27:50,766 --> 01:27:54,759
I was hoping it could be arranged
on some kind of a friendly basis.
888
01:27:54,936 --> 01:27:58,053
But it can be done the other way, too.
889
01:28:01,234 --> 01:28:04,772
You listen to me, punk.
You're gonna work at my club.
890
01:28:04,946 --> 01:28:08,029
I can do a lot for you,
and I can do a lot against you.
891
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:11,192
Your old man's coming
out of the hospital tomorrow.
892
01:28:11,369 --> 01:28:15,032
Might not be good for his health
if he knew you put him there.
893
01:28:15,207 --> 01:28:17,323
It was an accident. Was it?
894
01:28:17,501 --> 01:28:20,083
Somebody was gonna get hit.
Too bad it was him.
895
01:28:20,253 --> 01:28:22,869
It was all done because of you.
896
01:28:23,048 --> 01:28:26,961
You don't think he'd mind?
You tell him. Or shall I?
897
01:28:28,178 --> 01:28:32,262
- You do it, and I'll kill you.
- I got an easier way.
898
01:28:32,432 --> 01:28:35,139
Just sign this piece of paper.
899
01:28:35,310 --> 01:28:37,551
There's nothing on it,
I'll fill it in later.
900
01:28:38,146 --> 01:28:41,388
- No, Danny. No!
- Shut up.
901
01:28:41,566 --> 01:28:45,605
Or maybe I'll fill Charlie's place
with stink bombs every night.
902
01:28:45,779 --> 01:28:48,987
If that's an unpleasant thought,
how about real bombs?
903
01:28:49,491 --> 01:28:52,858
You think I wouldn't?
Easiest thing in the world.
904
01:28:53,036 --> 01:28:54,901
Make it look like an accident.
905
01:28:55,080 --> 01:29:00,370
Anything can be made to look like
an accident. What do you say, kid?
906
01:29:18,019 --> 01:29:23,355
That's more like it. Don't let me
interrupt you any longer.
907
01:29:23,525 --> 01:29:28,519
You were just saying to her...
"Maxie has nothing to do with it."
908
01:29:34,786 --> 01:29:38,870
So now you know.
That's how you get into it.
909
01:29:40,792 --> 01:29:45,206
Now maxie's got you like he's got me.
It's too late.
910
01:29:48,758 --> 01:29:53,377
You do something wrong, and that
makes you do something worse.
911
01:29:53,763 --> 01:29:57,130
And then you don't know
the difference anymore.
912
01:29:59,603 --> 01:30:01,844
Danny, I'm so sorry.
913
01:32:42,766 --> 01:32:44,506
Ladies and gentlemen,
914
01:32:44,684 --> 01:32:47,801
I would just like to say
thanks for everything.
915
01:32:47,979 --> 01:32:51,847
You people have been wonderful,
and I'll never forget you.
916
01:32:52,025 --> 01:32:57,190
I want you to know that I'll always
be grateful. Thank you very much.
917
01:32:58,239 --> 01:33:00,275
Excuse me. “What's the matter?
918
01:33:10,251 --> 01:33:13,914
- Kid, that was a great show.
- Thanks, Charlie.
919
01:33:16,382 --> 01:33:19,966
What was the curtain speech all about?
920
01:33:20,136 --> 01:33:23,344
We never got around to signing
those papers you talked about.
921
01:33:23,515 --> 01:33:25,756
So what's the hurry?
922
01:33:26,351 --> 01:33:30,811
There's no hurry. I just don't know
how to tear up a handshake.
923
01:33:30,980 --> 01:33:32,095
What do you mean?
924
01:33:35,110 --> 01:33:39,444
I'm quitting you, Charlie. I got
a better offer from maxie fields.
925
01:33:42,033 --> 01:33:46,527
You're no good, Danny. You belong
on the street with the hoodlums.
926
01:33:47,247 --> 01:33:50,114
I thought you'd changed,
but you belong with them.
927
01:33:50,291 --> 01:33:54,125
You threw it all away.
You, me, everything.
928
01:34:13,815 --> 01:34:17,273
Danny, is anything wrong?
Are you all right?
929
01:34:17,443 --> 01:34:19,024
Sure.
930
01:34:19,195 --> 01:34:22,278
You sounded funny when you called.
I got here as soon as I could.
931
01:34:22,448 --> 01:34:25,690
I told Mr. mcintyre it was
an emergency, I'd be right back.
932
01:34:28,997 --> 01:34:32,034
- What's the matter, Danny?
- Nothing.
933
01:34:36,921 --> 01:34:38,707
Did you speak to father Franklin yet?
934
01:34:38,882 --> 01:34:42,295
I stopped by this morning.
He's a wonderful man.
935
01:34:42,468 --> 01:34:44,709
He's known me since I
was a little girl.
936
01:34:44,888 --> 01:34:49,723
He was so happy I finally found
someone. He can't wait to meet you.
937
01:34:50,393 --> 01:34:52,725
- He's there now if you...
- I can't, Nellie.
938
01:34:52,896 --> 01:34:57,060
I wouldn't know what to say to him.
That's why I had to see you.
939
01:35:00,069 --> 01:35:03,436
I think maybe too much
has happened too fast.
940
01:35:04,908 --> 01:35:10,778
You're swell and I don't want to
hurt you, but something's happened.
941
01:35:12,123 --> 01:35:16,241
A lot's happened. I walked out
on Charlie legrand last night...
942
01:35:16,419 --> 01:35:18,455
And now you're making the parlay.
943
01:35:19,756 --> 01:35:23,214
I guess so. For now, anyway.
944
01:35:24,928 --> 01:35:27,795
That girl Ronnie, does she
have anything to do with it?
945
01:35:27,972 --> 01:35:30,714
I don't know. Maybe.
946
01:35:32,018 --> 01:35:35,431
It's all kinda mixed up.
947
01:35:37,774 --> 01:35:39,856
See, the other night...
948
01:35:44,447 --> 01:35:47,029
I can't walk in that church
till I'm sure.
949
01:35:49,410 --> 01:35:52,368
I have to be getting back
to the store.
950
01:35:52,538 --> 01:35:55,996
I can't afford to be fired
from two places in the same day.
951
01:36:18,898 --> 01:36:20,809
Are you sure?
952
01:36:22,819 --> 01:36:26,528
There's no use talking about it
any longer. A deal is a deal.
953
01:36:26,698 --> 01:36:28,654
Mr. fields, I beg you.
954
01:36:28,825 --> 01:36:31,988
I'm not here to speak for my son.
It's my daughter.
955
01:36:32,161 --> 01:36:36,245
Mr. legrand has asked her
to marry him. I just found out.
956
01:36:36,416 --> 01:36:38,828
He's counting on Danny
remaining at his club.
957
01:36:39,002 --> 01:36:43,291
This could ruin their future,
her chance for happiness.
958
01:36:43,464 --> 01:36:48,424
Your boy's gotta think about himself.
I can do more for him than Charlie.
959
01:36:48,594 --> 01:36:52,883
- No, you don't understand.
- It's you who don't understand.
960
01:36:53,558 --> 01:36:55,799
Mr. fields, the collector
made the delivery.
961
01:36:55,977 --> 01:36:57,262
- Good.
- It's all taken care of.
962
01:36:57,437 --> 01:37:00,554
- Good deal.
- Is there anything else?
963
01:37:01,274 --> 01:37:04,983
That the face of...
That's the one who almost killed me.
964
01:37:05,153 --> 01:37:07,940
You're mistaken.
This man works for me.
965
01:37:08,114 --> 01:37:12,403
Mistaken? I'm not mistaken.
I could never forget that face.
966
01:37:12,577 --> 01:37:15,910
- What's he talking about?
- Beat it. Go on!
967
01:37:19,709 --> 01:37:23,577
Wait. I don't care what
you do to me. I'll go to the police.
968
01:37:23,755 --> 01:37:28,089
I don't think you will. I don't think
you'll go to the police.
969
01:37:28,259 --> 01:37:32,002
You say a deal is a deal.
I'll make you a deal.
970
01:37:32,180 --> 01:37:35,672
Let Danny out of his agreement,
and I'll forget I saw this man.
971
01:37:35,850 --> 01:37:38,011
Otherwise, I go to the police.
972
01:37:40,355 --> 01:37:42,721
You're ok, Mr. Fisher.
I gotta hand it to you.
973
01:37:42,899 --> 01:37:46,733
But there's something you don't know
maybe make you change your mind.
974
01:37:53,951 --> 01:37:55,316
Pa, what are you doing here?
975
01:38:02,919 --> 01:38:07,913
It was an accident, pa. I'm sorry.
Honest. I tried to stop 'em.
976
01:38:10,927 --> 01:38:12,792
I did it for you!
977
01:38:26,526 --> 01:38:28,983
- You double-crossed me, didn't you?
- Who sent for you?
978
01:38:29,153 --> 01:38:31,394
- You told him.
- Sure, he was running to the police.
979
01:38:31,572 --> 01:38:34,439
- I told you I'd kill you.
- Knock it off, kid.
980
01:38:34,617 --> 01:38:36,983
- I told you...
- I'm warning you!
981
01:38:38,746 --> 01:38:42,113
No! Leave him alone! Leave him alone!
982
01:38:42,291 --> 01:38:44,998
- You tramp! I own you!
- No, you don't own me!
983
01:38:45,169 --> 01:38:48,286
You bought me! You don't own me!
I meant to tell you that!
984
01:38:48,464 --> 01:38:50,830
You disgust me! I hate you!
985
01:38:51,008 --> 01:38:54,171
Every time you put your hands on me,
you make my flesh crawl!
986
01:38:54,345 --> 01:38:58,509
Go ahead, hit me! That's the only
thing you're man enough to do!
987
01:39:06,607 --> 01:39:09,019
Get out, Ronnie! Don't come back!
988
01:40:29,482 --> 01:40:32,940
He's in the alley. Go around
the block. Come in the other way.
989
01:40:56,092 --> 01:41:00,051
Danny, we know you're in here.
990
01:41:00,221 --> 01:41:03,384
You come on out now
and you got a chance.
991
01:41:04,850 --> 01:41:08,809
You can't get away.
Maxie's got the whole town covered.
992
01:41:10,022 --> 01:41:13,105
This is it, buddy.
This is the big get-even day.
993
01:41:13,276 --> 01:41:15,517
We got a lot to settle up.
994
01:41:17,405 --> 01:41:20,147
Danny, I knew it was
your old man that night.
995
01:41:20,324 --> 01:41:24,488
I knew it, and I slugged him anyway,
so come and get me.
996
01:41:24,662 --> 01:41:26,573
Come out and get me,
or we're coming in.
997
01:41:43,806 --> 01:41:45,842
I'll let you in on a secret.
998
01:41:46,017 --> 01:41:49,976
We've been laughing at you
ever since it happened.
999
01:41:58,154 --> 01:42:02,648
You told me we'd tangle again.
Well, now's your chance. Come on.
1000
01:42:14,795 --> 01:42:19,004
You got him?
Hold him. I wanna put my Mark on him.
1001
01:42:21,802 --> 01:42:23,667
Where is he?
1002
01:44:22,214 --> 01:44:23,214
Who's there?!
1003
01:44:23,382 --> 01:44:26,294
It's me, pa, Danny. Let me in, will you?
1004
01:44:26,469 --> 01:44:31,463
- Go away!
- I can't. Please, let me in, pa.
1005
01:44:33,684 --> 01:44:35,549
Please...
1006
01:44:40,733 --> 01:44:42,815
Please let me...
1007
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:20,428
I found out from dummy what happened.
You've got to get out of here.
1008
01:45:20,606 --> 01:45:23,814
They're all after you. You've got to hide.
1009
01:45:26,195 --> 01:45:28,277
Hurry, Danny. Hurry.
1010
01:48:00,099 --> 01:48:02,556
- Hello, Danny.
- Hello.
1011
01:48:02,726 --> 01:48:05,058
- How ya feel?
- I don't know yet.
1012
01:48:05,229 --> 01:48:07,515
You've been out of your head
for two days.
1013
01:48:07,690 --> 01:48:09,726
Maybe even longer.
1014
01:48:12,611 --> 01:48:13,851
Where are we?
1015
01:48:14,029 --> 01:48:17,567
Just some place to run to.
I've had this for years.
1016
01:48:17,741 --> 01:48:22,030
- What about maxie? Does he...?
- No. Here there's no maxie.
1017
01:48:22,204 --> 01:48:23,944
Here I don't have to think about maxie
1018
01:48:24,123 --> 01:48:27,832
or yesterday or today,
or the day after.
1019
01:48:30,004 --> 01:48:33,087
It was nice having
someone to take care of.
1020
01:48:33,257 --> 01:48:37,341
- Thanks. Thanks for everything.
- Sure.
1021
01:48:40,222 --> 01:48:44,261
- What are you staring at?
- You look like a kid.
1022
01:48:44,435 --> 01:48:48,678
I am. A 104-year-old kid.
1023
01:48:50,858 --> 01:48:54,271
I guess it all started that
first morning when you rescued me.
1024
01:48:54,445 --> 01:48:58,358
You had courage, and I admired that.
I have so little myself.
1025
01:48:58,991 --> 01:49:03,280
You'd be surprised at all
the happy endings I had figured out.
1026
01:49:03,454 --> 01:49:07,288
You see, Danny, girls like me,
if we stick around for the finish,
1027
01:49:07,458 --> 01:49:10,450
generally finish up
pretty much the same way.
1028
01:49:10,627 --> 01:49:11,987
Sooner or later, the party's over.
1029
01:49:12,129 --> 01:49:17,590
We go to our hometowns and marry the
first respectable guy who asks us.
1030
01:49:18,552 --> 01:49:23,012
You'd be amazed how many do.
Only I never wanted it that way.
1031
01:49:25,142 --> 01:49:29,431
That's why I kidded myself into
thinking maybe you were the one.
1032
01:49:29,605 --> 01:49:32,972
I used to dream that maybe someday
maxie and I would be through,
1033
01:49:33,150 --> 01:49:36,267
and I'd meet you someplace,
and we'd run away.
1034
01:49:36,445 --> 01:49:38,356
We did.
1035
01:49:39,656 --> 01:49:42,773
It's never the way you imagine it,
is it?
1036
01:49:44,286 --> 01:49:48,495
Danny, I'm not proud.
I haven't got much pride left.
1037
01:49:48,665 --> 01:49:54,501
I know what can be and what can't be.
But do you think that
1038
01:49:54,671 --> 01:49:58,539
maybe for a little while you could
make it the way I dreamed it?
1039
01:49:58,717 --> 01:50:02,505
That you could love me and...
My dream could come true?
1040
01:50:06,266 --> 01:50:10,225
- It wouldn't be hard to love you.
- Then love me, Danny.
1041
01:50:11,563 --> 01:50:14,020
Take a day out of your life
and love me.
1042
01:50:52,980 --> 01:50:54,516
Wait here.
1043
01:51:56,835 --> 01:52:01,078
It was a lovely day for a
little while.
1044
01:52:12,100 --> 01:52:13,965
Oh, no.
1045
01:52:19,608 --> 01:52:21,564
I'm sorry.
1046
01:52:53,850 --> 01:52:56,182
Danny, I'm so glad you're back.
1047
01:52:57,354 --> 01:53:01,723
- I hope now we...
- Not yet, Nellie.
1048
01:53:01,900 --> 01:53:04,642
In a little while, maybe, but not now.
1049
01:53:07,698 --> 01:53:09,780
I'll wait.
1050
01:53:11,034 --> 01:53:16,279
I have lots of time.
It'll be all right.
1051
01:53:20,335 --> 01:53:22,371
Good luck, Danny.
