Good evening.

This is not to symbolize

my expulsion
from an exclusive club.

It is a mode
of transportation.

This is just the vehicle

for those of you
who have always longed
to see Niagara Falls...

from the bottom.

This is the first
two-passenger model

for that couple that enjoys
living dangerously,

even on the honeymoon.

It is also attractively
decorated.

I don’t understand why
we don’t sell more of them.

And speaking of sell,

we’ve had complaints that
our sponsor’s sell is so soft,

viewers have the feeling

something is being left out
of the commercials.

For them,
here is the uncensored,

uncouth version.

Cut it out, Larry.

I said cut it out!

If you wanna wrestle,
why don’t you go
down to the gym.

[chuckles]

You kill me, Larry.

[laughing]
You really kill me.

Listen, Angie,
you don’t play games with me.

I’m not fooling around
about this.

-I wanna marry you.
-I’m not fooling either.

I’m no kid anymore.

It’s about time I settled down.
I told you that.

Oh, yeah, you told me that.

Only money comes first,
right?

So what’s so wrong
about that?

A girl’s gotta think
about money.

A lesson I learned
from Mama.

Your mama never heard
the price of a beer.

That was the lesson.

Well, that’s what I came
over to tell you, Angie.
The money’s gonna come.

-Plenty of it.
-Oh, yeah? Where from?

I quit Patsy’s this morning.

I ain’t taking
no more bets for him.

-He can find himself
another boy.
-You quit Patsy’s?

What for?
You going to give him
some competition, maybe?

No, nothing like that.

I don’t like horses.
They make me sneeze.

Besides, I got smarter ideas
than bookmaking,

big ideas.

I’ll get the money, Angie.

I’ve been thinking
about it a long time.

How?

How?

I made an appointment
this afternoon.

Tomorrow morning I’m gonna
meet with a guy named
Stephan Bregornick.

He runs a big importing
company. Head man.

-He’s gonna give me a job.
-What makes you so sure?

Because I know it.

Him and my pop were buddies
when they came over
from the old country.

So?

So it’s like a debt.

Long before my pop died,
Bregornick used to tell him
to send me around.

Why didn’t he, then?

Because my pop didn’t like
the way he did his business.

Bregornick wasn’t too careful
about what he imported
or where it came from.

You knew my pop, Angie.

He was the original
Honest John.

All right.
So he gives you a job.

What’ll it pay?

Not much, I guess.

-Sixty, seventy bucks a week.
-What?

You’re making a hundred
and fifty with Patsy right now.

-I got my reasons, Angie.
-What kind of reasons?

There’s money
in that operation. Big money!

If I stick it out long enough,
some of it’s coming my way.

You think I’m gonna sit around
for 25 years until you get
a gold watch?

Uh-uh.

It won’t be that way,
Angie.

It won’t be that way,
sweetheart.

What’s the matter?

Don’t you have
any faith in me at all?

Money, Larry.

That’s what I got faith in.

Money.

Hello?

I’m Larry Chetnik.
Is Mr. Bregornick in?

What do you want to see
Mr. Bregornick about?

It’s about a job.

He’s expecting me.
Would you tell him I’m here?

Mr. Bregornick?
There’s a Larry...

Chetnik here to see you.

-[Bregornick] Send him in.
-Yes, sir.

You can go right in there.

Mr. Bregornick?

Sit down.

So you’re Jan’s boy?

I suppose you want something.

No sir, I just thought
I’d look you up

like you once told my pop
I should.

Your pop was a fool.

You know that?

Him and me, we came
to this country the same day.

For 27 years he broke his back
on the construction gangs.

So what happens? He starves.

He raises his family
in a lousy neighborhood.

He gets hit with a steal beam
and he dies.

Am I describing a fool,
or what?

-He was a nice old guy.
-[chuckles]

Nice guys are stupid.

Are you stupid, Larry?

No, Mr. Bregornick,
I’m not stupid.

But I try to be a nice guy,
too.

You speak
any other languages?

-No, sir.
-You go to high school?

I quit just before graduation.

You know how
to write out orders,

keep neat records,
files, that kind of stuff?

I had a year
of business administration.

Can you handle yourself?

I mean...

what do you do
if a guy pushes you around?

I push back.

You dress pretty good.

Got more than that one suit?

Got another one
just like it.

You willing to work
any hours?

Night sometimes?

-Sure.
-You know anything about
the importing business?

-No.
-Good!

I know that lousy neighborhood
you come from.

Patsy and those cheap punks.

You mixed up with them?

I used to work for Patsy,
but that’s all.

OK. You got a job.

Seventy-five bucks a week

and maybe a bonus at Christmas
if I like your style.

Only remember, I do a lot of
business out of my apartment.

That’s where
my customers come.

You be there when I tell
you to be there.

-Right?
-Sure thing, Mr. Bregornick.

Thanks a lot.

You all set, Larry?

Yes, sir.

-[knock on door]
-They’re here.

-Miklos.
-[Miklos laughs]

It’s good to be
with you again, my friend.

Please, come in.

Miklos,

I wish you to meet Larry,
my cousin.

My pleasure.

And this is my cousin.

-Please, let us sit down.
-Thank you.

[Bregornick] Larry, a drink
for the gentlemen.

No, no. No drink for me.
[coughs]

-Oh, but a little wine, perhaps.
-Wine is good.

Anything for you?

My cousin doesn’t drink.

[Miklos] Well,

and how is the importing
business, my friend?

Business is like always.

[Miklos laughs]

The market is only people.

If people want something,

the market is good.

If not...

[Bregornick] You are right
as usual, my old friend.

Thank you.

Now, tell me, my friend.

Is it true that the wine
business is much improved?

What do you think
the market would be

for 900 cases
of Romanee-Conti...

’49 vintage?

I think it would not be bad,
Miklos.

Depending, of course,
on the suggested price.

Well,
my partners abroad suggest

$7,000 is a fair amount.

What would your company say
to that?

Do you like the wine,
my friend?

[chuckles] It is very good.

Do you like the price,
my friend?

The company accepts the terms.

Four months.

I’m four months older.

You think that doesn’t mean
anything to a girl?

What do you want from me?

I want some action.
That’s what I want.

You’re the guy
with the big plans.

The big money man.

Seventy five bucks a week.
[scoffs]

All right, you wanna know
about the deal, I’ll tell you.

Go ahead,
I’d love to hear it.

Then sit down and shut up.

I told you about
this guy Bregornick.
He’s an operator, a big timer.

He makes more quick imports
than anybody
on the East Coast.

You know why?
Because he deals in cash.

No papers, no books,
no nothing.

I figure he must keep
a hundred, 200 grand
in that apartment of his.

So what are you gonna do?
Swipe it?

No, it won’t be that easy.

Bregornick’s no dope.

I figure I’m making
one big haul and I’m taking
my time about it.

And we’ll have enough dough
to skip the country,

live it up big someplace--
South America, Rio.

Rio?

Yeah, any place you like.

But when’s it gonna be?
When’s it going to happen?

I don’t know,
I can’t be sure.

It might be six months
from now.

It might even be this week.

There’s been a rumor
around the office about
some foreign typewriters.

Typewriters?

Yeah.

Stolen goods.

I don’t know how true it is,

but I heard that our old friend
Miklos is in on the deal.

And if it clicks,

price could be big.

How big?

I don’t know.

I’ll have to see.

And you really think
you could get the money?

Oh, I ain’t been thinking
of anything else

for months.

You sent for me,
Mr. Bregornick?

Yes.

You and me,
we got a date tonight.

-Your apartment?
-That’s right.

Big stuff tonight, Larry.

Wear your best suit
and keep your eyes open.

Yes, sir.

-Will Miklos be there?
-Yeah, that’s right.

Our good friend Miklos
and his cousin.

I don’t know what time they’ll
come in, pretty late, maybe.

You come to my place
10:00, 10:30.

I’ll be there,
Mr. Bregornick.

Well?

There’s been a rumor going
around about some typewriters.

-Is that the deal,
Mr. Bregornick?
-I don’t like rumors.

Sometimes they’re true.
Now, get outta here.

[woman]
Bregornick Importing Company.

[imitating Miklos]
Mr. Bregornick, please.

[woman]
Just a minute, please.

[Bregornick]
Bregornick.

[coughing like Miklos]
Stephan?

[coughing continues]

Who is this? Miklos?

[coughing] Yes.
The chest is very bad today.

Maybe I cannot leave
the house tonight. [coughing]

That’s too bad.

We will make it
some other night then,
Miklos, when you feel better.

[imitating rough voice]
No, no.

Business is business.

Perhaps if someone could bring
the money over to my house
tonight?

About 8:00.

Someone?

[coughs] Yes, your cousin.

Larry...

He’s trustworthy, no?

Yes.

But we haven’t yet agreed
on the price.

Is the 30,000
agreeable to your partners?

[rough voice]
Yes, yes. It’s agreeable.

All right, then.

I’ll send Larry
with the money.

Hello, Mr. Bregornick.
I got your message
to come here early.

Yes, our plans
for the evening have changed.

Come in, Larry.

My good friend Miklos
called me this afternoon.

He can’t make
the meeting tonight,

but he wants to complete
the transaction.

So I’m sending you over
to his house...

with the money.

Could I have his address, sir?

It’s on the envelope.

Should I go now,
Mr. Bregornick?

In a minute.

Sit down.

I’ve been thinking about...

Eva,

your mother.

-My mother?
-Yeah.

To you, she was just a--
a nice old lady.

Cooked you meals and sent you
to school and junk like that,
right?

My mom died before
I was 12, Mr. Bregornick.

Yeah, sure. I remember.

Only maybe...

you didn’t know
something about your mother.

Her and me,

we were engaged
to be married once,

back in the old country.

A family thing,
an arrangement, you know?

And then, she...

met your pop.

And that made things different.

You ever know about that,
Larry?

No, sir.

I could’ve been your father.

I wouldn’t have minded that,
Mr. Bregornick.

Yeah. You were better off
the way you were.

Don’t get any wrong ideas.

Your pop was the best guy
on earth.

Stupid but the best.

Sure, Mr. Bregornick.

Don’t you ever forget it.

All right, beat it.

[knock on door]

-Who is it?
-Let me in, Angie.

I was doing my hair.
I look a mess.

You shouldn’t walk in
on a girl like that.

Sit down.

-So what’s with you?
-Sit down!

You always thought
I was a nothing, huh?

That’s what you thought,
didn’t you?

Just little Larry from around
the corner, running errands
for the big boys.

[laughing] Taking bets...

What’s the matter?
You drunk or something?

Huh?

How much?

-How much is it?
-30,000 bucks.

$30,000?

I’ve never seen
so much money in my life.

30,000 bucks.

Go on. Count it, Angie.

Count it.

I never thought
you could do it.

I never thought
you had it in you.

-[Larry laughs]
-Oh, you sweet babies.

You beautiful things, you.

Mama’s gonna take
good care of you.

I want a hundred
pair of shoes, Larry.

I’m crazy about shoes.

Good shoes!

$30,000.

Think what we can do with it.

I’ll pack tonight.

It won’t take me long.
I’m not gonna take much.

We can buy new clothes
when we get there.

Summer clothes, right?

It’s always summer in Rio,
ain’t it?

-Give it back, Angie.
-[laughs]

-All of it.
-[laughing stops]

Oh, come on, honey.

Let me keep just little.

A little for pocket money?

I said all of it.

Oh, I can pack in 15 minutes.

There won’t be any packing.

You wait right here
until I call you.

-Understand?
-Where you going?

[chuckles nervously]
You ain’t leaving me, are you?

Oh, no. You couldn’t walk out
on me just like that.

Let go of me, Angie.
I know what I’m doing.

Larry, please.

Hey. You--
You are coming back?

You are coming back!

Hello, cousin.

Tell your cousin
to lay off, huh?

Where is the money?
What have you done
with the money?

I’m sorry for all the trouble
I caused you.

Here it is, mister.

Go on, it’s all there.
It’s 30,000 bucks.

You see?

He was the one
who called you.

Not I, Stephan.

The boy is a thief.

He’s right.

I’m a no-good crook.

I was the one that called you,
told you the meeting was off.

I thought it was going to be
easy. I was all set to hop
a boat to South America.

Then why didn’t you?
Why did you come back?

Because I forgot something.

I thought I was being real
smart getting all that dough.

But I forgot
about my old man.

I tried to rob you,
Mr. Bregornick.

So you can do whatever
you want to me.

But I began thinking about
what you said about my father.

I began to remember
things about him.

He was a pretty dumb guy,
all right, just like you said.

But I loved him.

I couldn’t do this to him.
That’s why I came back.

Larry.

Come back here.

Angie.

[patting] Angie.

Larry?

You came back.

I never thought you would.

I never thought
I’d see you again.

-I told you, didn’t I?
-Where you been?

I’ve been
to Bregornick’s place.

-Bregornick?
-Mm-hm.

I gave him back the money.

You...
gave him back the money?

Every nickel.

Why, Larry?

Why?

What’s so funny?

What’s so funny?

Don’t you get it?

Don’t you get it, you dope?

30 grand’s OK,
but it’s no fortune.

I got something
better than that.

Much better.

Something that’ll pay off in
a hundred grand some day soon.

[scoffs]

I got his trust.

Well, I was so glad to see
Larry get over

his preoccupation
with money.

I shall have news for you
after the following

sponsorial pronunciamiento.

I wish to thank the sponsor

for that heart-warming
and revealing human document.

I look forward to more
of the same next week.

I understand that,
since the very best people
watch this program,

it has become a status symbol.

If you wish to impress
your neighbors,

do as others do--

Turn the set so that it faces
an outside window.

In that manner,

passers-by can see
