Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:04:27,684 --> 00:04:29,845
Make it fast.
2
00:04:29,853 --> 00:04:31,809
Don't want the boss to get wise.
3
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:34,479
Jeez.
4
00:04:36,151 --> 00:04:38,062
Ain't the old bastard a riot
5
00:04:38,069 --> 00:04:41,561
when he starts that bull
about "turnin' over a new leaf"?
6
00:04:41,573 --> 00:04:43,734
"Not a damn drink on the house,"
he tells me.
7
00:04:43,742 --> 00:04:45,198
"And all these bums
8
00:04:45,202 --> 00:04:47,693
have gotta pay up their room rent
beginning tomorrow," he says.
9
00:04:50,999 --> 00:04:53,706
I'll be glad to pay up... tomorrow.
10
00:04:55,712 --> 00:04:58,670
And I know my fellow inmates
will promise the same.
11
00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:02,131
They've all a touching credulity
concerning tomorrow.
12
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:07,883
It'll be a great day for them tomorrow...
Feast of all fools.
13
00:05:09,392 --> 00:05:11,849
And their ships will come in
loaded to the gunwales
14
00:05:11,853 --> 00:05:14,640
with canceled regrets
and promises fulfilled
15
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:16,980
and clean slates and new leases.
16
00:05:16,983 --> 00:05:20,441
- Yeah, and a ton of hop.
- Don't mock the faith.
17
00:05:22,030 --> 00:05:25,272
Have you no respect for religion,
you unregenerate wop?
18
00:05:26,535 --> 00:05:28,526
What does it matter if the truth is
19
00:05:28,537 --> 00:05:33,031
that their favoring breeze will have
the stink of nickel whiskey on its breath,
20
00:05:33,041 --> 00:05:36,579
and their sea will be
a growler of lager and ale,
21
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:40,996
and their ships will long since
be looted and scuttled
22
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:43,214
and sunk on the bottom?
23
00:05:43,218 --> 00:05:45,800
To hell with the truth.
24
00:05:45,804 --> 00:05:49,513
The history of the world proves
the truth has no bearing on anything.
25
00:05:51,059 --> 00:05:53,425
It's the lie of the pipe dream
that gives life
26
00:05:53,436 --> 00:05:57,725
to the whole misbegotten,
mad lot of us, drunk or sober.
27
00:05:57,732 --> 00:06:00,974
The old philosopher, like hickey calls ya.
28
00:06:00,986 --> 00:06:03,443
I suppose you don't fall
for no pipe dreams.
29
00:06:03,446 --> 00:06:04,777
No, I don't.
30
00:06:05,782 --> 00:06:08,273
Mine are dead and buried behind me.
31
00:06:09,828 --> 00:06:14,288
What's before me is the fact
that death is a fine, long sleep,
32
00:06:14,291 --> 00:06:15,656
and I'm damn tired.
33
00:06:16,626 --> 00:06:18,708
And it can't come too soon for me.
34
00:06:18,712 --> 00:06:22,204
Yeah, just hangin' around,
hopin' you croak, ain't ya?
35
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:24,672
Well, I'm bettin'
you have a good, long wait.
36
00:06:24,676 --> 00:06:27,543
Jeez, somebody'd have to
take an ax to croak you.
37
00:06:29,431 --> 00:06:32,514
Yeah, it's my bad luck to be cursed
with an iron constitution
38
00:06:32,517 --> 00:06:34,929
that even Harry's booze can't corrode.
39
00:06:34,936 --> 00:06:39,179
The old anarchist wise guy
that knows all the answers.
40
00:06:39,190 --> 00:06:40,851
Forget the "anarchist" part of it.
41
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:44,396
I'm through with the movement long since.
42
00:06:45,739 --> 00:06:50,108
I saw that if men wanted
to be saved from themselves,
43
00:06:50,118 --> 00:06:52,780
that would mean
they'd have to give up greed.
44
00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:55,950
They wouldn't pay that price for Liberty.
45
00:06:55,957 --> 00:06:59,495
So I said to the world, god bless all here
and may the best man win...
46
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:03,287
And die of gluttony.
47
00:07:03,298 --> 00:07:08,008
I took a seat in the grandstand
of philosophical detachment
48
00:07:08,011 --> 00:07:11,799
to fall asleep observing the cannibals
do their death dance.
49
00:07:14,142 --> 00:07:16,224
Ain't I telling him the truth,
comrade Hugo?
50
00:07:16,227 --> 00:07:19,344
Oh, for chrissake,
don't get that bughouse bum started.
51
00:07:19,356 --> 00:07:21,312
Capitalist swine!
52
00:07:21,316 --> 00:07:24,103
Bourgeois stool pigeon!
53
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:27,022
Have the slaves no right to sleep even?
54
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:34,447
Hello, little rocky, little monkey face.
55
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:37,161
Where are your little slave girls?
56
00:07:38,833 --> 00:07:41,495
Don't be a fool. Loan me a dollar.
57
00:07:41,503 --> 00:07:43,243
Damn bourgeois wop!
58
00:07:43,964 --> 00:07:46,046
Buy me a drink.
59
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,671
He's out again.
60
00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:53,796
He's lucky no one
don't take his crack serious,
61
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:57,220
or he'd wake up every morning
in a hospital.
62
00:07:57,227 --> 00:08:00,719
Nobody takes him seriously.
That's his epitaph.
63
00:08:00,730 --> 00:08:05,724
If I've been through with the movement
long since, it's been through with him,
64
00:08:05,735 --> 00:08:09,603
and thanks to whiskey
he's the only one who doesn't know it.
65
00:08:09,614 --> 00:08:13,106
He's gonna pull that "slave girl" stuff
on me once too often.
66
00:08:13,118 --> 00:08:16,201
Hell, you'd think
I was a pimp or somethin'.
67
00:08:16,204 --> 00:08:18,035
A pimp don't hold a job.
68
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:19,950
I'm a bartender.
69
00:08:19,958 --> 00:08:22,370
Them tarts, Margie and Pearl,
70
00:08:22,377 --> 00:08:25,835
they're just a sideline
to pick up some extra dough.
71
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:27,329
Strictly business,
72
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:30,798
like they were fighters
and I was their manager, see.
73
00:08:30,802 --> 00:08:35,136
I fix the cops for them so they
can hustle without gettin' pinched.
74
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:37,722
And I don't beat 'em up like a pimp would.
75
00:08:37,726 --> 00:08:39,307
They like me.
76
00:08:39,310 --> 00:08:41,801
What if I... I take their money?
77
00:08:41,813 --> 00:08:43,769
Tarts can't hang on to dough.
78
00:08:44,649 --> 00:08:45,980
But I'm a bartender
79
00:08:45,984 --> 00:08:48,726
and I work hard for my living
in this dump.
80
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:53,317
Shrewd businessman
who doesn't miss an opportunity
81
00:08:53,324 --> 00:08:55,030
to get on in the world, huh?
82
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:56,616
Yeah, that's me.
83
00:08:56,619 --> 00:08:58,405
Grab another ball, Larry.
84
00:09:02,709 --> 00:09:06,952
You'd never think all these bums
had a bed upstairs to go to.
85
00:09:06,963 --> 00:09:10,797
Scared if they hit the hay they wouldn't
be here when hickey showed up
86
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,416
and they'd miss a couple of drinks.
87
00:09:13,428 --> 00:09:15,760
To me, it's not so much the hope of booze.
88
00:09:15,764 --> 00:09:18,096
But I've got the blues,
89
00:09:18,099 --> 00:09:21,216
and hickey's a great one to make a joke
of everything and cheer you up.
90
00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:23,684
Yeah, some kidder.
91
00:09:23,688 --> 00:09:27,601
Remember how he works up that gag
about his wife when he's cockeyed,
92
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:30,897
cryin' over her picture and then
spilling it on you all of the sudden
93
00:09:30,904 --> 00:09:33,190
that he left her in the hay
with the iceman?
94
00:09:34,783 --> 00:09:37,775
Yeah, I wonder what's happenin'?
95
00:09:41,164 --> 00:09:44,656
He always got here a couple of days
before Harry's birthday party.
96
00:09:44,667 --> 00:09:47,158
And now he's only got till tonight
to make it.
97
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:49,457
This dump.
98
00:09:49,464 --> 00:09:52,331
It's like a morgue
with all these bums passed out.
99
00:09:52,342 --> 00:09:53,923
It's a liel
100
00:09:53,927 --> 00:09:55,417
papa.
101
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:57,043
Papa.
102
00:09:57,055 --> 00:09:58,716
Poor devil.
103
00:10:00,183 --> 00:10:03,266
Ah, the hell with pity.
Does no good. I'm through with it.
104
00:10:04,646 --> 00:10:06,807
Dreamin' about his old man.
105
00:10:06,815 --> 00:10:08,806
From what the old-timers say,
106
00:10:08,817 --> 00:10:11,900
the old gent sure made a pile of dough
in the bucket shop game
107
00:10:11,903 --> 00:10:14,064
before the cops got him.
108
00:10:14,072 --> 00:10:15,437
Jeez.
109
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:18,155
I've seen 'em bad before,
but never this bad.
110
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:19,774
Look at that getup.
111
00:10:19,786 --> 00:10:23,199
Sold his suit and shoes
at solly's two days ago.
112
00:10:23,206 --> 00:10:25,913
Solly give him two bucks and a bum outfit.
113
00:10:25,917 --> 00:10:29,830
Yesterday he sells the bum one
back to solly for four bits
114
00:10:29,838 --> 00:10:31,703
and gets these rags to put on.
115
00:10:31,714 --> 00:10:33,250
Now he's through.
116
00:10:33,258 --> 00:10:37,126
That's solly's final edition
he won't take back for nothin'.
117
00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:39,594
Willie sure is on the bottom.
118
00:10:39,597 --> 00:10:41,679
I ain't never seen no one so bad,
119
00:10:41,683 --> 00:10:44,846
except hickey on the end
of a couple of his bats.
120
00:10:45,687 --> 00:10:47,678
It's a great game,
121
00:10:47,689 --> 00:10:49,680
the pursuit of happiness.
122
00:10:49,691 --> 00:10:51,682
Harry don't know what to do about him.
123
00:10:51,693 --> 00:10:53,684
He called up his old lady's lawyer
124
00:10:53,695 --> 00:10:57,108
like he always does
when Willie gets licked.
125
00:10:57,115 --> 00:10:59,948
You remember, they used to
send down a private dick
126
00:10:59,951 --> 00:11:02,237
to give him the rush to a cure.
127
00:11:02,245 --> 00:11:04,406
But the lawyer tells Harry nix...
128
00:11:04,414 --> 00:11:08,578
The old lady is off of Willie for keeps
this time, and he can go to hell.
129
00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:13,954
With the consolation
he hasn't got far to go.
130
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:19,463
It's a goddamn liel
131
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:21,461
- nix. Nix!
- Oh, papa!
132
00:11:21,472 --> 00:11:24,464
- Nix! Cut out the noise!
- Oh, Jesus, papa!
133
00:11:24,475 --> 00:11:26,090
Je - shh! Sus!
134
00:11:26,102 --> 00:11:27,967
Cut out the...
135
00:11:27,979 --> 00:11:29,264
Who's that yellin'?
136
00:11:29,272 --> 00:11:32,184
Willie, boss.
The Brooklyn boys is after him.
137
00:11:32,192 --> 00:11:36,606
Well, why don't you give the poor fella
a drink and keep him quiet?
138
00:11:36,613 --> 00:11:39,821
Jeez, can't I get a wink o' sleep
in my own backroom?
139
00:11:39,824 --> 00:11:42,691
Listen to the blind-eyed,
deef old bastard, will ya.
140
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:46,911
He give me strict orders not to let Willie
hang up no more drinks, no matter what.
141
00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:49,031
What's that? I can't hear ya.
142
00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:51,658
You're a cockeyed liar.
143
00:11:51,669 --> 00:11:55,662
Never refused a drink to anyone
needed it as bad in my life.
144
00:11:55,673 --> 00:11:57,629
Told you to use your judgment.
145
00:11:58,676 --> 00:12:01,042
Too busy thinkin' up ways to cheat me.
146
00:12:02,013 --> 00:12:03,969
I ain't as blind as you think.
147
00:12:03,973 --> 00:12:07,465
I can still see a cash register, b'jeez.
148
00:12:07,477 --> 00:12:10,435
Oh, sure, boss.
Swell chance of foolin' you.
149
00:12:10,438 --> 00:12:14,727
I-I'm wise to you and your sidekick Chuck.
150
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:18,522
B'jeez, you're... you're burglars,
not barkeeps.
151
00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:21,521
You'd steal the pennies
off your dead mothers' eyes.
152
00:12:21,532 --> 00:12:24,820
I'll fire both of ya.
153
00:12:24,827 --> 00:12:26,988
No one ever played Harry hope
for a sucker.
154
00:12:27,956 --> 00:12:29,787
No one but everybody.
155
00:12:29,791 --> 00:12:32,578
Least you could do is keep things quiet.
156
00:12:32,585 --> 00:12:35,577
Give me a drink, rocky.
Harry said it was all right.
157
00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:36,828
God, I need a drink.
158
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:38,875
Then grab it. It's right under your nose.
159
00:12:40,176 --> 00:12:41,336
Thank you.
160
00:12:42,929 --> 00:12:44,089
When.
161
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:45,844
When!
162
00:12:46,683 --> 00:12:49,140
I didn't say take a bath!
163
00:12:49,143 --> 00:12:52,135
Jeez, look.
He's killed half a pint or more!
164
00:12:52,146 --> 00:12:54,353
Leave him be, the poor devil.
165
00:12:55,858 --> 00:12:59,521
Half-pint of that dynamite in one swig'll
fix him for a while.
166
00:12:59,529 --> 00:13:01,520
If it doesn't kill him.
167
00:13:01,531 --> 00:13:03,613
All right by me. It ain't my booze.
168
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:06,740
Wh-wh-whose booze?
169
00:13:07,912 --> 00:13:09,994
Gimme some!
170
00:13:09,998 --> 00:13:12,080
Where's hickey?
171
00:13:12,083 --> 00:13:15,371
- What time is it, rocky?
- Getting near time to open up.
172
00:13:15,378 --> 00:13:17,710
Time you begun to sweep up in the bar.
173
00:13:17,714 --> 00:13:19,705
Never mind the time.
174
00:13:19,716 --> 00:13:23,959
If hickey ain't come,
it's time Joe went to sleep again.
175
00:13:26,889 --> 00:13:29,926
Hey. I got an idea.
176
00:13:29,934 --> 00:13:33,847
Say, Larry,
what about that young guy parritt?
177
00:13:33,855 --> 00:13:36,267
Come to look you up last night
and rented a room.
178
00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:39,269
He's upstairs, asleep.
179
00:13:40,778 --> 00:13:42,860
No hope there, Joe. He's broke.
180
00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:45,526
Me and rocky knows different.
181
00:13:45,533 --> 00:13:48,696
Had a roll when he paid you
his room rent, didn't he, rocky?
182
00:13:48,703 --> 00:13:52,070
Yeah, he flashed it like he forgot
and then tried to hide it quick.
183
00:13:52,081 --> 00:13:54,788
- He did, did he?
- Yeah. I figured he don't belong.
184
00:13:54,792 --> 00:13:56,783
But he said he was a friend of yours.
185
00:13:56,794 --> 00:13:57,909
He's a liar.
186
00:13:59,756 --> 00:14:02,088
Ah, it's true his...
187
00:14:02,091 --> 00:14:05,504
His mother and I were friends
a few years ago on the coast.
188
00:14:07,472 --> 00:14:09,713
You read in the papers
about that bombing on the coast
189
00:14:09,724 --> 00:14:11,385
where a few people were killed?
190
00:14:12,810 --> 00:14:15,176
Well, the one woman they pinched,
Rosa parritt,
191
00:14:15,188 --> 00:14:17,179
is his mother.
192
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:20,432
They'll be coming up for trial soon.
They haven't got a chance.
193
00:14:20,443 --> 00:14:21,899
She'll get life.
194
00:14:23,613 --> 00:14:26,605
I'm telling you all this
so you'll know why if Don acts a bit queer
195
00:14:26,616 --> 00:14:28,322
and not jump on him.
196
00:14:28,326 --> 00:14:30,191
He's her only kid.
197
00:14:30,203 --> 00:14:32,364
Why ain't he out there stickin' by her?
198
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:35,364
- Must be a good reason.
- I get it.
199
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:38,082
Then what kind of a sap is he
to hang on to his right name?
200
00:14:38,086 --> 00:14:40,202
I'm telling you, I don't know.
201
00:14:40,213 --> 00:14:41,578
And I don't wanna know!
202
00:14:42,965 --> 00:14:45,331
To hell with the movement
and everybody connected with it.
203
00:14:52,141 --> 00:14:56,601
If there's one thing more
than another I can't stand,
204
00:14:56,604 --> 00:15:00,267
it's the sucker game
you and Hugo calls the movement.
205
00:15:01,275 --> 00:15:04,108
Reminds me of a damn fool argument
206
00:15:04,112 --> 00:15:06,228
me and mose Porter had the other night.
207
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:08,230
He's drunk, and I'm drunker,
208
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:09,777
and he says,
209
00:15:09,784 --> 00:15:12,400
"socialists and anarchists,
we oughta shoot 'em dead."
210
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:14,448
I said, "hold on. Hold on now.
211
00:15:14,455 --> 00:15:17,367
You talk as if the socialists
and the anarchists
212
00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:19,707
were the same thing.
213
00:15:19,710 --> 00:15:22,577
The anarchist, he never works.
214
00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:25,625
He drinks. He never buys.
215
00:15:25,633 --> 00:15:29,125
And if he do ever get a nickel,
he blows it on bombs
216
00:15:29,137 --> 00:15:30,843
and wouldn't give you nothin'.
217
00:15:30,847 --> 00:15:32,838
So you can go ahead and shoot him.
218
00:15:32,849 --> 00:15:35,511
But, uh, the socialist,
219
00:15:35,518 --> 00:15:38,635
sometimes he gets a job,
220
00:15:38,646 --> 00:15:42,230
and if he gets ten bucks
he's bound by his religion
221
00:15:42,233 --> 00:15:45,350
to split it with ya 50-50.
222
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:49,024
So you don't shoot those socialists
while I'm around.
223
00:15:49,031 --> 00:15:51,568
Course, if they broke,
224
00:15:51,576 --> 00:15:54,283
then they no-good bastards too."
225
00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:58,620
B'god, Joe,
226
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:02,416
you've got all the beauty of human nature
227
00:16:02,420 --> 00:16:05,332
and the practical wisdom of the world
in that little parable.
228
00:16:05,339 --> 00:16:06,624
Sure.
229
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:09,749
Larry ain't the only wise guy
in this dump. Eh, Joe?
230
00:16:11,179 --> 00:16:12,760
Here's your guy.
231
00:16:16,350 --> 00:16:17,806
Hello, Larry.
232
00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:20,718
Hello.
233
00:16:20,730 --> 00:16:23,893
What's up? Thought you'd be asleep.
234
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:25,811
I couldn't make it.
235
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:28,275
I, uh, thought I might see
if you were around.
236
00:16:29,363 --> 00:16:32,526
Well... sit down and join the bums then.
237
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,293
The rules of the house are that drinks
may be served at all hours.
238
00:16:53,054 --> 00:16:55,716
Oh, I get ya.
But, uh, hell, I'm just about broke.
239
00:17:02,939 --> 00:17:04,804
Oh, I know. You guys saw...
240
00:17:06,442 --> 00:17:09,434
You think I have a roll, don't you?
Well, I'll show you you're wrong.
241
00:17:09,445 --> 00:17:11,481
You see? They're all ones.
242
00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:14,814
I gotta live on this till I get a job.
243
00:17:19,205 --> 00:17:22,572
Oh, you think I made up a phony,
don't you? Why the hell would I do that?
244
00:17:24,585 --> 00:17:26,576
Where would I get a roll anyway?
245
00:17:26,587 --> 00:17:29,420
You don't get rich doin'
what I been doin'. Ask Larry.
246
00:17:29,423 --> 00:17:31,505
You're lucky in the movement
you get enough to eat.
247
00:17:32,510 --> 00:17:34,501
What's this song and dance about?
248
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:35,877
We ain't said nothin'.
249
00:17:37,139 --> 00:17:39,130
Oh, I was just tryin' to put you right.
250
00:17:39,141 --> 00:17:41,883
I don't want you to think I'm a tightwad.
I'll buy you a drink if you want one.
251
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:43,134
N if"?
252
00:17:43,145 --> 00:17:45,136
Man, when I don't want a drink,
253
00:17:45,147 --> 00:17:48,310
you call the morgue and you tell 'em
come take Joe's body away
254
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:49,807
'cause he's sure enough dead.
255
00:17:49,819 --> 00:17:52,811
Now gimme the bottle quick, rocky,
before he changes his mind.
256
00:17:52,822 --> 00:17:54,904
I'll take a cigar when I go in the bar.
257
00:17:56,867 --> 00:17:59,609
- What'll you have?
- Oh, uh, nothin'. I'm on the wagon.
258
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:01,702
- What's the damage?
- Fifteen cents.
259
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:05,497
That must be some booze.
260
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:08,584
It's cyanide cut with carbolic acid
261
00:18:08,588 --> 00:18:11,000
to give it a mellow flavor.
262
00:18:11,007 --> 00:18:12,167
Here's luck.
263
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,178
I guess I'll get back in the bar
and catch a couple of winks
264
00:18:26,188 --> 00:18:28,349
before opening-up time.
265
00:18:32,111 --> 00:18:34,022
One-drink guy.
266
00:18:35,698 --> 00:18:38,815
No hope till Harry's birthday party.
267
00:18:38,826 --> 00:18:40,362
'Less hickey shows up.
268
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:43,737
Hickey do come, Larry,
269
00:18:43,748 --> 00:18:47,286
you wake me up
if you have to bat me with a chair.
270
00:18:56,302 --> 00:18:57,542
Who's hickey?
271
00:18:58,304 --> 00:18:59,714
A hardware drummer.
272
00:19:01,057 --> 00:19:04,390
He's an old friend of Harry hope's
and all the gang.
273
00:19:04,393 --> 00:19:05,803
He's a grand guy.
274
00:19:07,063 --> 00:19:08,803
Comes here twice a year regularly
275
00:19:08,814 --> 00:19:11,100
on a periodical drunk
276
00:19:11,108 --> 00:19:13,064
and blows in all his dough.
277
00:19:14,445 --> 00:19:16,652
Doesn't run into anyone he knows
in his business here.
278
00:19:16,656 --> 00:19:19,318
Yes, that's what I want too, Larry.
279
00:19:19,325 --> 00:19:21,156
Like I told you last night,
280
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,867
I gotta stay undercover.
281
00:19:23,871 --> 00:19:26,863
You did a lot of hinting.
You didn't tell me anything.
282
00:19:28,042 --> 00:19:30,033
Well, you can guess, can't ya?
283
00:19:30,044 --> 00:19:32,410
- Say, what kind of joint is this anyway?
- This?
284
00:19:33,881 --> 00:19:36,748
This is no chance saloon.
285
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:40,126
Bedrock bar. The end of the line café.
286
00:19:40,137 --> 00:19:42,423
The bottom of the sea rathskeller.
287
00:19:43,808 --> 00:19:46,550
Didn't you notice the beautiful calm
in the atmosphere?
288
00:19:47,645 --> 00:19:49,601
That's because this is the last harbor.
289
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:54,023
No one here has to worry about
where they're going next,
290
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:56,483
'cause they can go no further.
291
00:19:56,487 --> 00:19:58,899
Although even here
they keep up the appearance of life
292
00:19:58,906 --> 00:20:02,819
with a few harmless pipe dreams
about their yesterdays and tomorrows.
293
00:20:04,829 --> 00:20:06,319
What's your pipe dream, Larry?
294
00:20:06,330 --> 00:20:07,945
Oh, I'm the exception.
295
00:20:09,417 --> 00:20:11,373
I haven't any left, thank god.
296
00:20:13,045 --> 00:20:16,378
Don't complain about this place.
You couldn't find a better for lying low.
297
00:20:16,382 --> 00:20:17,792
Well, I'm glad of that.
298
00:20:19,051 --> 00:20:22,509
I got knocked off base
by a business on the coast.
299
00:20:23,848 --> 00:20:26,430
Since then, it's been no fun
dodging around the country,
300
00:20:26,434 --> 00:20:28,425
thinking every guy I see might be a dick.
301
00:20:28,436 --> 00:20:31,473
You're safe here.
The cops ignore this dump.
302
00:20:32,940 --> 00:20:34,931
They think it's as harmless
as a graveyard,
303
00:20:34,942 --> 00:20:36,807
and b'god, you know, they're right.
304
00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:40,690
Yeah, it's been lonely as hell.
305
00:20:42,491 --> 00:20:44,482
Christ, I'm glad I found you, Larry.
306
00:20:44,493 --> 00:20:47,485
You know, I kept sayin' to myself,
if I can just find Larry,
307
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:49,487
he's the one guy in the world
who'd understand.
308
00:20:49,498 --> 00:20:50,863
Understand what?
309
00:20:52,793 --> 00:20:54,158
All I've been through.
310
00:20:58,716 --> 00:21:01,799
Oh... oh, I know. You're thinkin',
"this guy has a hell of a nerve.
311
00:21:01,802 --> 00:21:04,088
I haven't seen him since he was a kid."
312
00:21:04,096 --> 00:21:06,052
Well, I've never forgotten you, Larry.
313
00:21:08,434 --> 00:21:11,722
You're the one friend of mother's
who ever paid any attention to me.
314
00:21:11,729 --> 00:21:14,687
I remember you used to ask me questions.
You took what I said seriously.
315
00:21:16,734 --> 00:21:18,349
I got the feeling
in the years you lived with us
316
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:20,567
you'd sort of taken the place
of my old man.
317
00:21:20,571 --> 00:21:23,529
- I don't suppose you remember it.
- I remember it very well.
318
00:21:25,451 --> 00:21:28,409
You were a lonely,
serious little shaver then.
319
00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:33,614
Why didn't they pick you up
when they got your mother and the rest?
320
00:21:33,626 --> 00:21:35,912
Oh... oh, I, uh... I wasn't around.
321
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,457
And as soon as I heard the news
I went undercover.
322
00:21:39,965 --> 00:21:42,957
You've noticed my glad rags.
I was staked to them as a disguise.
323
00:21:42,968 --> 00:21:46,631
And then I, you know, hung around gambling
joints and pool halls and hooker shops,
324
00:21:46,639 --> 00:21:48,880
places where they wouldn't look
for a wobblie,
325
00:21:48,891 --> 00:21:51,052
pretending I was a...
326
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:53,016
A sport.
327
00:21:53,020 --> 00:21:56,012
Anyway, they picked up everybody
who was, you know, really important,
328
00:21:56,023 --> 00:21:58,810
so I guess they didn't think about me
till afterwards.
329
00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:00,774
Papers say the cops got them.
330
00:22:01,946 --> 00:22:05,279
The burns dicks
knew every move beforehand.
331
00:22:11,872 --> 00:22:14,454
Yeah, it hasn't come out who it was yet.
332
00:22:14,458 --> 00:22:16,414
It may never come out.
333
00:22:16,418 --> 00:22:17,874
I guess who it was
334
00:22:17,878 --> 00:22:20,039
must have made a bargain with
the burns men to keep him out of it.
335
00:22:20,047 --> 00:22:22,163
B'god.
336
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:25,541
Hate to believe it of any of that crowd.
337
00:22:25,553 --> 00:22:27,259
Oh, I know they were damn fools,
338
00:22:27,263 --> 00:22:30,801
as stupidly greedy for power
as any capitalist they attacked,
339
00:22:30,808 --> 00:22:34,096
but I'd have sworn there wasn't
a yellow stool pigeon among them.
340
00:22:34,103 --> 00:22:36,890
Yeah, I'd have sworn that too, Larry.
341
00:22:36,897 --> 00:22:40,515
I hope his soul rots in hell,
whoever it is.
342
00:22:40,526 --> 00:22:42,517
Yeah, so do I.
343
00:22:46,448 --> 00:22:48,734
How did you locate me?
344
00:22:48,742 --> 00:22:50,323
Oh, through mother.
345
00:22:51,787 --> 00:22:53,402
I told her not to tell anyone.
346
00:22:53,414 --> 00:22:55,200
Oh, no, she didn't tell me.
347
00:22:55,207 --> 00:22:57,698
But she kept all your letters.
348
00:22:57,710 --> 00:23:01,202
I found where she hid them and I sneaked
up there after she was arrested.
349
00:23:04,592 --> 00:23:08,176
Never would have thought
she was a woman who kept letters.
350
00:23:08,178 --> 00:23:10,260
No, I wouldn't either.
351
00:23:10,264 --> 00:23:13,256
There's nothing soft or sentimental
about mother.
352
00:23:13,267 --> 00:23:15,929
I haven't written her for two years.
Or anyone else.
353
00:23:18,939 --> 00:23:22,352
You know, it's funny she kept
in touch with you for so long.
354
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,645
When she's finished with someone,
she's finished with them.
355
00:23:24,653 --> 00:23:27,486
And you know how she feels
about the movement.
356
00:23:27,489 --> 00:23:30,447
Anyone who loses their faith in it
is more than dead to her.
357
00:23:32,995 --> 00:23:35,202
- Yet she seemed to forgive you.
- She didn't.
358
00:23:36,290 --> 00:23:39,874
She wrote to denounce me
and bring the sinner to repentance.
359
00:23:42,546 --> 00:23:45,504
Then what made you leave the movement?
Was it on mother's account?
360
00:23:46,675 --> 00:23:49,838
Who the hell put that idea in your head?
361
00:23:49,845 --> 00:23:53,212
Why, nothin'. Except I remember that fight
you had with her just before you left.
362
00:23:53,223 --> 00:23:55,635
Well, if you do, I don't.
That was 11 years ago.
363
00:23:55,643 --> 00:23:57,383
You were only seven years old.
364
00:23:59,021 --> 00:24:03,640
If we quarreled, it was because I told her
I'd become convinced that the movement
365
00:24:03,651 --> 00:24:05,516
was a beautiful pipe dream.
366
00:24:08,072 --> 00:24:11,064
I don't remember it that way.
367
00:24:11,075 --> 00:24:13,612
Well, blame it on your imagination
and forget it.
368
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,241
You asked me why I quit the movement.
369
00:24:18,248 --> 00:24:20,489
Had a lot of good reasons.
370
00:24:20,501 --> 00:24:22,332
One was myself.
371
00:24:22,336 --> 00:24:24,042
Another was my comrades.
372
00:24:25,297 --> 00:24:27,709
And the last was that breed of swine
373
00:24:27,716 --> 00:24:30,298
called men in general.
374
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:31,633
As for myself...
375
00:24:33,097 --> 00:24:36,180
I'd become convinced,
after 30 years devotion to the cause,
376
00:24:36,183 --> 00:24:38,139
that I wasn't made for it.
377
00:24:39,395 --> 00:24:43,479
I was born condemned
to see both sides of a question.
378
00:24:43,482 --> 00:24:47,691
And when you're damned that way...
The questions multiply,
379
00:24:47,695 --> 00:24:49,856
until in the end
380
00:24:49,863 --> 00:24:52,104
they're all questions and no answers.
381
00:24:53,867 --> 00:24:56,984
As history proves,
to be a worldly success at anything,
382
00:24:56,996 --> 00:24:59,282
especially revolution,
383
00:24:59,289 --> 00:25:03,453
you've got to wear blinders like a horse
and only see what's straight ahead of you.
384
00:25:05,212 --> 00:25:08,170
As for my comrades in the great cause,
385
00:25:09,925 --> 00:25:12,917
I felt about them as Horace walpole
did about england
386
00:25:12,928 --> 00:25:16,261
when he said he could love it
if it wasn't for the people in it.
387
00:25:18,017 --> 00:25:21,601
That's why I quit the cause. At any rate,
it had nothing to do with your mother.
388
00:25:21,603 --> 00:25:24,390
But mother always thought
it was on her account.
389
00:25:24,398 --> 00:25:27,390
You know her. To hear her go on sometimes,
you'd think she was the movement.
390
00:25:27,401 --> 00:25:29,892
That's a hell of a thing to say
after what happened to her.
391
00:25:29,903 --> 00:25:32,189
Oh, no, I wasn't sneering, Larry, no.
392
00:25:32,197 --> 00:25:35,155
No, I've said the same thing to her
lots of times, to kid her.
393
00:25:37,411 --> 00:25:40,778
I know I shouldn't now,
but, uh, I keep forgetting she's in jail.
394
00:25:41,999 --> 00:25:44,957
Seems so unreal to me.
She's always been so free.
395
00:25:48,297 --> 00:25:51,084
I don't wanna even, uh, think about it.
396
00:25:53,844 --> 00:25:56,677
So, what have you been doing
all these years since you le...
397
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,921
You know, left the coast, Larry?
398
00:25:58,932 --> 00:26:02,595
I've been a philosophical,
drunken bum, and proud of it.
399
00:26:04,605 --> 00:26:08,143
I hope you've deduced why I answer
a lot of impertinent questions
400
00:26:08,150 --> 00:26:10,061
from a total stranger.
401
00:26:10,069 --> 00:26:12,685
For that's all you are to me.
402
00:26:12,696 --> 00:26:15,403
I have a hunch you came
to get something from me.
403
00:26:15,407 --> 00:26:17,739
Well, I have no answers.
No, not even for myself.
404
00:26:19,161 --> 00:26:23,120
Unless you can call what heine wrote
in his poem to morphine an answer.
405
00:26:24,208 --> 00:26:26,199
"Lo, sleep is good,
406
00:26:26,210 --> 00:26:28,451
better is death.
407
00:26:28,462 --> 00:26:31,875
In sooth, the best of all
were never to be born."
408
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:37,175
That's a hell of an answer.
409
00:26:42,351 --> 00:26:44,808
Still, you never may know
when it might come in handy.
410
00:26:46,563 --> 00:26:48,554
I don't suppose you've had a chance
411
00:26:48,565 --> 00:26:50,806
to get any news of your mother
since she was in jail.
412
00:26:50,818 --> 00:26:54,652
Oh, no, no chance. Anyway, I don't think
she really wants to talk to me.
413
00:26:54,655 --> 00:26:58,489
You see, we got in this fight
just before that business happened.
414
00:26:58,492 --> 00:27:01,734
She bawled me out
because I was goin' around with tarts.
415
00:27:01,745 --> 00:27:03,360
I told her,
"you always acted the free woman.
416
00:27:03,372 --> 00:27:05,328
You never let anything stop you."
417
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,742
Anyway, she told me
that she didn't give a damn what I did
418
00:27:09,753 --> 00:27:13,291
except she began to suspect that I
was losing interest in the movement.
419
00:27:13,298 --> 00:27:15,459
- And were you?
- Sure I was.
420
00:27:18,512 --> 00:27:21,504
I couldn't go on forever believing
that gang was gonna change the world
421
00:27:21,515 --> 00:27:23,506
by shooting off their loud traps
on soap boxes,
422
00:27:23,517 --> 00:27:26,475
sneaking around, trying to blow up
a bridge or a lousy building.
423
00:27:30,107 --> 00:27:33,599
Then I finally got wise
that it was all a crazy pipe dream.
424
00:27:37,030 --> 00:27:41,524
Then this... this business of someone
sellin' out, that's what finished me off.
425
00:27:48,125 --> 00:27:50,081
You can understand how I feel,
can't ya, Larry?
426
00:27:53,130 --> 00:27:55,997
"The days grow hot, o Babylon!
427
00:27:56,008 --> 00:27:59,876
'Tis cool beneath thy Willow trees.”
428
00:28:01,263 --> 00:28:03,094
Goddamned stool pigeon!
429
00:28:03,098 --> 00:28:06,215
What? What do you mean?
You can't call me that!
430
00:28:08,645 --> 00:28:10,431
Hello, little Don.
431
00:28:10,439 --> 00:28:14,148
I didn't recognize you.
432
00:28:14,151 --> 00:28:17,234
You've grown. Big boy.
433
00:28:17,237 --> 00:28:19,353
How's your mother?
434
00:28:19,364 --> 00:28:20,979
Don't be a fool!
435
00:28:20,991 --> 00:28:23,903
Loan me a dollar. Buy me a drink!
436
00:28:23,911 --> 00:28:25,902
Sure. I'll buy you a drink, Hugo.
437
00:28:25,913 --> 00:28:29,076
I'm sorry I got, uh...
I got sore at you there.
438
00:28:29,082 --> 00:28:31,494
Oughta have remembered
that when you're soused
439
00:28:31,501 --> 00:28:33,457
you call everyone "stool pigeon.”
440
00:28:34,588 --> 00:28:36,670
It's just no damn joke right at this time.
441
00:28:41,803 --> 00:28:43,589
Oh, gee. He passed out again.
442
00:28:55,817 --> 00:28:58,058
What are you giving me
the hard look for, Larry?
443
00:29:01,323 --> 00:29:03,154
You thought I was gonna hit him?
444
00:29:04,993 --> 00:29:06,529
What do you think I am?
445
00:29:06,536 --> 00:29:09,118
I always stood up for him when
everybody in the movement panned him
446
00:29:09,122 --> 00:29:10,658
for an old, drunken has-been.
447
00:29:12,751 --> 00:29:15,367
He had the guts to serve ten years
in the can in his own country.
448
00:29:15,379 --> 00:29:18,371
Got his eyes ruined in solitary. I'd like
to see some of 'em here stick that.
449
00:29:18,382 --> 00:29:20,373
Well, they're gonna get
their chance now to...
450
00:29:25,847 --> 00:29:27,553
Uh...
451
00:29:27,557 --> 00:29:30,765
Hey, Larry, tell me more about this dump.
Who are all these tanks in here?
452
00:29:30,769 --> 00:29:33,351
Who's that guy over there
tryin' to catch pneumonia?
453
00:29:37,526 --> 00:29:39,357
That's captain Lewis,
454
00:29:39,361 --> 00:29:42,524
one-time hero in the British army.
455
00:29:43,573 --> 00:29:47,691
He strips to display that scar,
which he got from a native spear,
456
00:29:47,703 --> 00:29:49,694
whenever he's completely plastered.
457
00:29:51,290 --> 00:29:55,579
The bewhiskered bloke next to him
is general wetjoen,
458
00:29:55,585 --> 00:29:58,577
who led a commando in the war.
459
00:29:58,588 --> 00:30:02,877
They met up when they worked in the
boer war spectacle in the St. Louis fair,
460
00:30:02,884 --> 00:30:05,751
and they've been bosom friends ever since.
461
00:30:08,056 --> 00:30:10,342
They dream away the hours in happy dispute
462
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:13,717
over the brave days in South Africa,
463
00:30:13,729 --> 00:30:16,141
when they were trying
to murder each other.
464
00:30:18,525 --> 00:30:20,766
He was in it too.
465
00:30:20,777 --> 00:30:22,642
Correspondent for some english paper.
466
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:25,270
His nickname here is Jimmy tomorrow.
467
00:30:26,658 --> 00:30:29,240
- What do they do for a living?
- As little as possible.
468
00:30:30,871 --> 00:30:34,614
Once in a while one of them makes
a successful touch somewhere.
469
00:30:34,624 --> 00:30:38,492
And some of them get a few dollars a month
from connections at home,
470
00:30:38,503 --> 00:30:41,370
who pay it on the condition
that they never come back.
471
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:46,291
The rest live on free lunch
and their old friend Harry hope,
472
00:30:46,303 --> 00:30:50,216
who doesn't give a damn
what a man does or doesn't do,
473
00:30:50,223 --> 00:30:52,384
as long as he likes him.
474
00:30:52,392 --> 00:30:54,804
That must be a tough life.
475
00:30:54,811 --> 00:30:56,893
Don't waste your pity.
476
00:30:56,897 --> 00:30:59,513
They manage to stay drunk
and keep their pipe dreams,
477
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:02,015
and that's all they ask out of life.
478
00:31:02,027 --> 00:31:06,066
It isn't often that men attain
the true goal of their heart's desire.
479
00:31:09,076 --> 00:31:11,533
And that applies to Harry himself.
480
00:31:11,536 --> 00:31:14,778
He's so satisfied with life
that he hasn't set foot out of this place
481
00:31:14,790 --> 00:31:16,872
since his wife died 20 years ago.
482
00:31:18,210 --> 00:31:20,997
He has no need of the outside world.
483
00:31:22,756 --> 00:31:26,089
Place does a fine trade from the market
across the street and the dockworkers,
484
00:31:26,093 --> 00:31:29,585
so in spite of Harry's thirst and
his generous heart, he comes out even.
485
00:31:30,931 --> 00:31:34,173
He never worries about hard times as long
as there's friends from the old days,
486
00:31:34,184 --> 00:31:36,425
when he was a jithey tammany politician,
487
00:31:36,436 --> 00:31:38,927
and a friendly brewery to tide him over.
488
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,772
Pat mcgloin, his pal sitting beside him,
489
00:31:42,776 --> 00:31:46,485
was a police lieutenant in the lush days
of graft when everything went.
490
00:31:46,488 --> 00:31:48,444
But he got too greedy,
491
00:31:48,448 --> 00:31:51,030
and when the usual
reform investigation came along
492
00:31:51,034 --> 00:31:54,367
he was caught red-handed,
thrown off the force.
493
00:31:54,371 --> 00:31:57,283
Joe there ran
a colored gambling house then.
494
00:31:58,125 --> 00:31:59,661
Was a hell of a sport.
495
00:32:01,002 --> 00:32:04,244
Well, that completes
our family circle of inmates.
496
00:32:04,256 --> 00:32:06,542
Except for the two barkeeps
and their girls,
497
00:32:06,550 --> 00:32:09,542
three ladies of the pavement
that room on the third floor.
498
00:32:09,553 --> 00:32:11,509
I never wanna see a whore again.
499
00:32:14,349 --> 00:32:17,011
I mean, they always get you in Dutch.
500
00:32:17,018 --> 00:32:20,886
Why omit me from your who's-who
in dipsomania, Larry?
501
00:32:20,897 --> 00:32:22,979
It's an unpardonable slight.
502
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:25,898
Yes, generous stranger...
503
00:32:25,902 --> 00:32:27,688
I trust you're generous...
504
00:32:27,696 --> 00:32:29,778
I was born in the purple.
505
00:32:29,781 --> 00:32:33,569
The son, mmm,
but unfortunately not the heir
506
00:32:33,577 --> 00:32:36,660
of the late, world-famous bill oban,
507
00:32:36,663 --> 00:32:38,494
king of the bucket shops.
508
00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:43,412
A revolution deposed him.
He was sent into exile.
509
00:32:43,420 --> 00:32:46,002
In fact, not to mince matters...
510
00:32:46,006 --> 00:32:49,749
They locked him in the can
and threw away the key.
511
00:32:51,344 --> 00:32:57,089
Alas, his was an adventurous spirit
that pined in confinement.
512
00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:58,556
And so he died.
513
00:33:00,645 --> 00:33:02,476
That's tough luck.
514
00:33:02,481 --> 00:33:04,096
Mmm. Mmm.
515
00:33:06,026 --> 00:33:10,895
Even at Harvard I discovered
my father was well-known by reputation.
516
00:33:10,906 --> 00:33:13,739
Although that was some time before
517
00:33:13,742 --> 00:33:17,200
the district attorney gave him
so much unwelcome publicity.
518
00:33:17,204 --> 00:33:20,241
Even as a freshman, I was notorious.
519
00:33:23,752 --> 00:33:26,539
That, uh, Henry Wadsworth longfellow
520
00:33:26,546 --> 00:33:29,333
would have shown a drunken negress
dancing the cancan
521
00:33:29,341 --> 00:33:31,332
at high noon on brattle street.
522
00:33:33,929 --> 00:33:36,386
That was my father's idea.
523
00:33:39,434 --> 00:33:42,392
But I did make myself a brilliant student!
524
00:33:44,606 --> 00:33:46,938
Dirty trick on my classmates,
525
00:33:47,984 --> 00:33:50,942
inspired by revenge, I fear.
526
00:33:50,946 --> 00:33:54,279
I wa... I w-was a brilliant student
in law school too.
527
00:33:55,450 --> 00:33:59,443
My father wanted a lawyer in the family.
528
00:33:59,454 --> 00:34:04,073
Wanted a thorough knowledge of the law
close at hand in the house
529
00:34:04,084 --> 00:34:06,416
to help him find fresh ways to evade it.
530
00:34:10,298 --> 00:34:13,836
But I discovered the loophole of whiskey
531
00:34:14,803 --> 00:34:18,011
and so escaped his jurisdiction.
532
00:34:18,014 --> 00:34:20,756
Speaking of whiskey, sir, reminds me...
533
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:23,224
And I hope reminds you...
534
00:34:23,228 --> 00:34:25,344
That when greeting a prince
535
00:34:25,355 --> 00:34:27,846
the customary salutation
536
00:34:27,857 --> 00:34:29,267
is "what'll you have?"
537
00:34:29,276 --> 00:34:32,268
Nix! All you guys think I'm made of dough.
538
00:34:32,279 --> 00:34:34,065
Broke?
539
00:34:34,072 --> 00:34:36,688
Why, you haven't the thirsty look
of the impecunious.
540
00:34:36,700 --> 00:34:38,782
I judge you to be a plutocrat,
541
00:34:38,785 --> 00:34:40,946
your pockets stuffed
with ill-gotten gains.
542
00:34:40,954 --> 00:34:42,819
Two or three dollars, at least.
543
00:34:42,831 --> 00:34:45,288
Don't think we'll question how you got it.
544
00:34:45,292 --> 00:34:47,453
What do you mean, how I got it?
545
00:34:49,129 --> 00:34:51,541
That's a laugh, isn't it, Larry?
546
00:34:51,548 --> 00:34:56,292
Him thinking me a plutocrat when
I've been in the movement all my life?
547
00:34:57,387 --> 00:34:59,844
Oh, one of those, huh?
548
00:34:59,848 --> 00:35:03,432
Why don't you go away
and blow yourself up. That's a good lad.
549
00:35:04,644 --> 00:35:06,134
Hugo...
550
00:35:06,146 --> 00:35:09,764
Hugo is the only...
Licensed preacher of that gospel here.
551
00:35:09,774 --> 00:35:12,641
Oh, dangerous terrorist, Hugo.
552
00:35:12,652 --> 00:35:16,110
He'd as soon blow the collar off
a schooner of beer as look at you.
553
00:35:18,450 --> 00:35:21,692
Let us ignore this useless youth, Larry.
554
00:35:21,703 --> 00:35:23,910
Let us join in prayer
555
00:35:23,913 --> 00:35:26,325
that hickey, the great salesman,
will soon arrive,
556
00:35:26,333 --> 00:35:29,666
bringing the blessed bourgeois long green.
557
00:35:30,795 --> 00:35:34,253
Would that hickey or death
would come, huh?
558
00:35:36,801 --> 00:35:38,541
Meanwhile,
559
00:35:38,553 --> 00:35:40,009
I will sing a song...
560
00:35:41,097 --> 00:35:44,134
A beautiful, old new england folk ballad
561
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:47,179
which I picked up at Harvard
amid the debris of education.
562
00:35:48,563 --> 00:35:52,647
J; Oh, Jack, oh, Jack was a sailor lad I
563
00:35:52,651 --> 00:35:55,734
j; And he went to a tavern for gin j
564
00:35:55,737 --> 00:35:57,523
j; And he rapped and he rapped with a
565
00:35:58,907 --> 00:36:00,397
j but j
566
00:36:00,408 --> 00:36:03,616
I never a soul seemed in j
567
00:36:04,704 --> 00:36:08,162
the origin of this beautiful ditty
is veiled in mystery, Larry.
568
00:36:08,166 --> 00:36:12,375
Th-there was a legend bruited about
in Cambridge lavatories
569
00:36:12,379 --> 00:36:14,791
that Waldo Emerson composed it,
570
00:36:17,217 --> 00:36:19,208
while he was trying to write a sermon.
571
00:36:19,219 --> 00:36:23,212
But my own view
is that it goes back much further,
572
00:36:23,223 --> 00:36:26,841
and Jonathan Edwards was the author
of both words and music.
573
00:36:27,977 --> 00:36:30,263
J; Oh, he rapped and rapped I
574
00:36:30,271 --> 00:36:31,852
j; And he tapped and tapped
575
00:36:31,856 --> 00:36:34,643
j; Enough to wake the dead
576
00:36:34,651 --> 00:36:36,312
& till he heard a damsel j
577
00:36:37,737 --> 00:36:41,901
js on a window right over his head j
578
00:36:41,908 --> 00:36:43,864
rocky, b'jeez,
579
00:36:43,868 --> 00:36:46,530
can't you keep that crazy bastard quiet?
580
00:36:46,538 --> 00:36:50,406
And now the influence of a good woman
enters our mariner's lifeline.
581
00:36:50,417 --> 00:36:54,001
Well, perhaps "good" isn't the word,
but very, very kind.
582
00:36:54,003 --> 00:36:59,339
J "oh, come up,” she cried
"my sailor lad j
583
00:36:59,342 --> 00:37:02,379
j and you and I'll agree
584
00:37:02,387 --> 00:37:04,218
j and I'll show you the prettiest j
585
00:37:05,390 --> 00:37:09,884
j; That ever you ever did see" I
586
00:37:09,894 --> 00:37:11,509
you see, Larry?
587
00:37:11,521 --> 00:37:13,432
The lewd puritan touch, obviously,
588
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,024
and it grows more marked as we go on.
589
00:37:17,026 --> 00:37:22,020
J oh, he put his arms around her waist &
590
00:37:22,031 --> 00:37:25,148
j; And gazed in her bright blue eyes j
591
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,527
piano!
Whaddaya think this dump is, a dump?
592
00:37:28,538 --> 00:37:32,122
Give him the bum's rush upstairs.
Lock him in his room.
593
00:37:32,125 --> 00:37:33,786
- Come on.
- No. No!
594
00:37:33,793 --> 00:37:35,078
Please, rocky. Please.
595
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:37,577
I'll go crazy up in that room alone.
It's haunted!
596
00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:40,422
Please, Harry, please.
Let me stay here. I'll be quiet.
597
00:37:40,425 --> 00:37:43,588
What the hell you doin' to him, rocky?
Leave him alone.
598
00:37:44,471 --> 00:37:46,757
Long as he's quiet.
599
00:37:46,765 --> 00:37:49,472
Thanks, Harry. You're a good scout.
600
00:37:53,646 --> 00:37:57,184
Ehh. Can't trust nobody.
601
00:37:58,234 --> 00:38:00,395
Leave it to that dago to keep order,
602
00:38:00,403 --> 00:38:02,940
it's like bedlam in a cathouse,
603
00:38:02,947 --> 00:38:04,483
singin' and everything.
604
00:38:06,284 --> 00:38:08,696
And you big barfly,
605
00:38:08,703 --> 00:38:11,365
you're a hell of a help to me.
606
00:38:11,372 --> 00:38:15,081
There ain't gonna be no more drinks
on the house till hell freezes over.
607
00:38:23,259 --> 00:38:25,375
Good god.
608
00:38:25,386 --> 00:38:29,925
Have I been drinking at the same table
with a bloody kaffir?
609
00:38:29,933 --> 00:38:31,673
Hello, captain!
610
00:38:31,684 --> 00:38:33,515
You comin' up for air?
611
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:38,854
"Kaffir"?
612
00:38:38,858 --> 00:38:40,143
Who's he?
613
00:38:41,110 --> 00:38:43,442
"Kaffir," that's a nigger, Joe.
614
00:38:44,531 --> 00:38:47,739
That's a joke on him, Joe.
615
00:38:47,742 --> 00:38:51,781
He don't know you. He's still blind drunk.
616
00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:58,580
A great mistake I missed him
at the battle of modder river.
617
00:38:58,586 --> 00:39:01,168
With mine rifle
618
00:39:01,172 --> 00:39:05,632
I shoot damn fool limey officers
by the dozen,
619
00:39:06,469 --> 00:39:07,959
but him I miss!
620
00:39:09,055 --> 00:39:11,046
Hey, wake up, Cecil.
621
00:39:11,057 --> 00:39:12,593
You bloody fool.
622
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,137
Don't you know your old friend Joe?
623
00:39:15,144 --> 00:39:17,055
He's white, Joe is.
624
00:39:24,988 --> 00:39:28,697
Oh, profound apologies, Joseph, old chum.
625
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:32,284
Eyesight a trifle blurry, I'm afraid.
626
00:39:32,287 --> 00:39:35,029
Whitest colored man I ever knew.
627
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:37,030
Proud to call you my friend.
628
00:39:37,041 --> 00:39:39,953
Oh, I know it's a mistake, captain.
629
00:39:39,961 --> 00:39:43,374
- You is regular.
- Even if you is a limey!
630
00:39:50,471 --> 00:39:54,089
But I don't stand for "nigger"
from nobody.
631
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:57,968
In the old days, somebody calls me
a nigger, they ends up in a hospital.
632
00:40:00,523 --> 00:40:03,265
Me, in old days in transvaal,
633
00:40:03,276 --> 00:40:07,235
I was so tough and strong,
634
00:40:07,238 --> 00:40:11,197
I... I grab axle of ox wagon,
635
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,407
with full load,
636
00:40:13,411 --> 00:40:15,697
and lift like feather.
637
00:40:15,705 --> 00:40:20,074
As for you, my balmy boer
that walks like a man,
638
00:40:20,084 --> 00:40:21,790
I say it again.
639
00:40:21,794 --> 00:40:26,163
It was a grave error in our foreign policy
ever to set you free.
640
00:40:26,174 --> 00:40:28,916
Come now, Cecil, piet.
641
00:40:28,927 --> 00:40:30,758
We must forget the war.
642
00:40:31,554 --> 00:40:33,044
Boer and briton,
643
00:40:33,056 --> 00:40:37,220
each fought fairly and played the game
until the better man won.
644
00:40:37,226 --> 00:40:39,968
And then we shook hands.
645
00:40:39,979 --> 00:40:43,813
We are all brothers within the empire,
646
00:40:43,816 --> 00:40:47,809
united beneath the flag
on which the sun never sets.
647
00:40:49,530 --> 00:40:51,896
J; Ship me somewhere j
648

b'god, you're there already, Jimmy.
663
00:41:42,959 --> 00:41:46,042
Worst is best here. East is west.
664
00:41:46,045 --> 00:41:48,457
And tomorrow's yesterday.
665
00:41:48,464 --> 00:41:49,954
What more do you want?
666
00:41:51,384 --> 00:41:54,501
Come now, Larry, old friend.
667
00:41:56,222 --> 00:41:59,714
You pretend a bitter cynic philosophy,
668
00:42:00,768 --> 00:42:02,258
but in your heart...
669
00:42:03,271 --> 00:42:06,013
You are the kindest man among us.
670
00:42:07,275 --> 00:42:08,560
The hell you say.
671
00:42:11,654 --> 00:42:13,269
Tomorrow, yes.
672
00:42:14,699 --> 00:42:17,691
High time I got myself straightened out.
673
00:42:19,454 --> 00:42:23,117
I must have this suit cleaned and pressed.
674
00:42:23,124 --> 00:42:25,240
I can't look like a tramp when I'm...
675
00:42:26,252 --> 00:42:28,334
Yes, sir.
676
00:42:28,337 --> 00:42:30,794
White folks always said I was white.
677
00:42:32,258 --> 00:42:34,874
The days when I was flush,
678
00:42:34,886 --> 00:42:37,468
Joe mott's the only colored man
they allowed
679
00:42:37,472 --> 00:42:39,428
in the white gambling houses.
680
00:42:40,475 --> 00:42:42,887
"You're all right, Joe.
681
00:42:42,894 --> 00:42:45,852
You're white," they tells me.
682
00:42:47,315 --> 00:42:49,897
They wouldn't let me play craps though,
683
00:42:49,901 --> 00:42:52,938
'cause they knew
I could make them dice behave.
684
00:42:52,945 --> 00:42:56,688
"Any other game, any limit you like, Joe,"
685
00:42:56,699 --> 00:42:58,109
they says.
686
00:42:58,826 --> 00:43:01,568
Man, the money I lost.
687
00:43:08,002 --> 00:43:09,412
Yeah.
688
00:43:10,505 --> 00:43:12,962
Look at the big chief in them days.
689
00:43:14,133 --> 00:43:16,499
He knew I was white.
690
00:43:16,511 --> 00:43:21,050
I'd saved my dough so I could
start my own gambling house.
691
00:43:21,057 --> 00:43:25,801
Folks in the know they tells me,
see the man at the top.
692
00:43:25,812 --> 00:43:28,394
Then you never has trouble.
693
00:43:28,397 --> 00:43:31,480
You get Harry hope
to give you a letter to the chief.
694
00:43:32,777 --> 00:43:34,358
And he does.
695
00:43:37,281 --> 00:43:38,771
Ain't that right, Harry?
696
00:43:40,368 --> 00:43:41,403
Huh?
697
00:43:42,620 --> 00:43:45,327
Why, sure, I gave you a letter.
698
00:43:45,331 --> 00:43:47,367
I says you was white.
699
00:43:48,209 --> 00:43:50,450
There. You see, captain?
700
00:43:50,461 --> 00:43:53,828
I went to see the chief,
shakin' in my boots,
701
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,923
and there he was,
sittin' behind a big desk,
702
00:43:56,926 --> 00:43:59,542
lookin' as big as a freight train.
703
00:43:59,554 --> 00:44:01,294
He don't look up.
704
00:44:01,305 --> 00:44:03,762
He keeps me waitin' and waitin'.
705
00:44:03,766 --> 00:44:06,929
And after what seems like an hour to me,
706
00:44:06,936 --> 00:44:11,726
he says, slow and quiet,
like he didn't mean no harm,
707
00:44:11,732 --> 00:44:14,565
"you want to open a gambling joint,
does ya, Joe?"
708
00:44:14,569 --> 00:44:17,060
But he don't give me no chance to answer.
709
00:44:17,071 --> 00:44:20,905
He jumps up,
lookin' as big as two freight trains,
710
00:44:20,908 --> 00:44:24,821
and he pounds his fists like a ham
on the desk and he shouts,
711
00:44:24,829 --> 00:44:27,286
"you black son of a bitch!
712
00:44:27,290 --> 00:44:30,874
Harry says you're white,
and you'd better be white,
713
00:44:30,877 --> 00:44:34,369
or there's a little iron room
up the river waitin' for ya."
714
00:44:36,966 --> 00:44:39,423
Then he sits down
715
00:44:39,427 --> 00:44:42,590
and he says, quiet again,
716
00:44:42,597 --> 00:44:45,805
"all right, you can open.
Get the hell outta here."
717
00:44:45,808 --> 00:44:47,890
So I opens.
718
00:44:47,894 --> 00:44:51,011
And he finds out I's white sure enough,
719
00:44:51,022 --> 00:44:53,729
'cause I run wide open for years
720
00:44:53,733 --> 00:44:56,770
and I pays my sugar on the dot.
721
00:44:56,777 --> 00:44:59,063
And me and the cops is friends.
722
00:45:02,617 --> 00:45:04,278
Them old days!
723
00:45:04,285 --> 00:45:07,903
Many's the night I used to come in here.
724
00:45:07,914 --> 00:45:12,829
This used to be a first-class hangout
for sports in them days.
725
00:45:12,835 --> 00:45:16,248
Good whiskey.
Fifteen cents, two for two bits.
726
00:45:17,715 --> 00:45:22,209
I throws down a $50 bill
like it was trash paper
727
00:45:22,220 --> 00:45:23,630
and I says,
728
00:45:24,805 --> 00:45:26,545
"drink it up, boys!
729
00:45:27,683 --> 00:45:29,639
I don't want the change.”
730
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:32,635
Ain't that right, Harry?
731
00:45:33,481 --> 00:45:34,971
Yes.
732
00:45:34,982 --> 00:45:39,021
And, b'Jesus, if I ever seen you
throw 50 cents on the bar now,
733
00:45:39,987 --> 00:45:41,978
I'd know I had delirium tremens!
734
00:45:43,366 --> 00:45:45,357
Oh, thanks, Harry, old chum.
735
00:45:45,368 --> 00:45:47,529
I will have a drink, now you mention it.
736
00:45:47,536 --> 00:45:49,743
Uh, seeing it's so near your birthday.
737
00:45:49,747 --> 00:45:51,988
What's that? I can't hear ya.
738
00:45:51,999 --> 00:45:54,991
No, I was afraid you wouldn't.
739
00:45:55,002 --> 00:45:57,459
I don't have to hear ya, b'jeez.
740
00:45:57,463 --> 00:46:00,170
Booze is the only thing
you ever talk about.
741
00:46:00,174 --> 00:46:01,755
True, true.
742
00:46:01,759 --> 00:46:06,128
Yes, there was a time when
my conversation was more comprehensive.
743
00:46:06,138 --> 00:46:08,345
But as I became burdened with the years,
744
00:46:08,349 --> 00:46:11,466
it seemed rather pointless
to discuss my other subject.
745
00:46:12,228 --> 00:46:14,719
You can't joke with me.
746
00:46:14,730 --> 00:46:17,016
How much room rent you owe me?
Tell me that.
747
00:46:17,024 --> 00:46:19,481
I'm sorry.
748
00:46:19,485 --> 00:46:22,272
Adding always baffled me.
749
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,862
Subtraction's my forte.
750
00:46:24,865 --> 00:46:27,607
Think you're funny.
751
00:46:28,703 --> 00:46:30,785
Captain, b'jeez.
752
00:46:30,788 --> 00:46:32,995
Showin' off your wounds.
753
00:46:32,999 --> 00:46:36,491
Put on your clothes, for chrissake.
This ain't no turkish bath.
754
00:46:37,670 --> 00:46:40,082
Lousy limey army.
755
00:46:40,089 --> 00:46:43,206
Took 'em years to lick
a gang of Dutch hayseeds.
756
00:46:43,217 --> 00:46:46,505
That's right, Harry. Give him hell.
757
00:46:46,512 --> 00:46:50,096
I give you my word of honor,
as an officer and a gentleman,
758
00:46:50,099 --> 00:46:52,590
you shall be paid tomorrow.
759
00:46:52,601 --> 00:46:55,058
We swear it, Harry.
760
00:46:55,062 --> 00:46:56,848
Tomorrow, without fail.
761
00:46:56,856 --> 00:46:58,721
There ya are, Harry.
762
00:46:58,733 --> 00:47:02,851
Sure. What could be fairer? A promise
is a promise, as I've often discovered.
763
00:47:03,863 --> 00:47:06,445
I mean you too.
764
00:47:06,449 --> 00:47:09,316
Old graftin' flatfoot.
765
00:47:09,327 --> 00:47:11,989
Fine company for me, b'jeez!
766
00:47:11,996 --> 00:47:14,829
Been livin' in my flat
since Christ knows when,
767
00:47:14,832 --> 00:47:19,201
and you ain't even got the decency
to get me upstairs where I got a good bed.
768
00:47:19,211 --> 00:47:22,453
Kept me down here waitin'
for hickey to show up,
769
00:47:22,465 --> 00:47:24,456
hopin' I'd blow ya to more drinks.
770
00:47:24,467 --> 00:47:27,254
I did my damnedest to get you up.
771
00:47:27,261 --> 00:47:30,503
But you said you couldn't bear the flat
because it was one of those nights
772
00:47:30,514 --> 00:47:33,506
when memory brought
poor old bessie back to ya.
773
00:47:34,143 --> 00:47:36,008
Ah, yes.
774
00:47:36,020 --> 00:47:37,510
I remember now.
775
00:47:38,731 --> 00:47:40,938
I could almost see her in every room,
776
00:47:40,941 --> 00:47:43,478
just as she used to be.
777
00:47:43,486 --> 00:47:45,693
And it's 20 years since I...
778
00:47:45,696 --> 00:47:48,608
Isn't a pipe dream of yesterday
a touching thing?
779
00:47:48,616 --> 00:47:49,901
- By all accounts...
- Twenty years!
780
00:47:49,909 --> 00:47:51,615
Bessie nagged the hell out of him.
781
00:47:51,619 --> 00:47:56,283
And I've never set foot out of this house
since the day I buried her.
782
00:47:56,290 --> 00:47:59,953
Once she was gone,
I didn't give a damn for anything.
783
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:02,667
The boys was gonna nominate me
for alderman.
784
00:48:02,671 --> 00:48:04,081
Mmm, bessie wanted it.
785
00:48:04,090 --> 00:48:06,456
And she was so proud.
786
00:48:06,467 --> 00:48:08,503
But when she was taken I... I told them,
787
00:48:08,511 --> 00:48:10,843
"no, boys, I can't do it. I'm through.”
788
00:48:13,682 --> 00:48:18,096
I've no doubt,
while bessie would appreciate my grief,
789
00:48:18,104 --> 00:48:21,813
she wouldn't want it to keep me
cooped up in here all my life.
790
00:48:21,816 --> 00:48:24,273
So I've made up my mind to go out soon,
791
00:48:24,276 --> 00:48:27,609
take a walk around the ward,
see all the friends I used to know,
792
00:48:27,613 --> 00:48:29,569
get together with the boys.
793
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:33,524
My birthday. Tomorrow!
794
00:48:33,536 --> 00:48:36,323
That'll be the right time
to turn over a new leaf.
795
00:48:36,330 --> 00:48:38,116
Sixty. That ain't too old.
796
00:48:38,916 --> 00:48:40,531
The prime of life, Harry.
797
00:48:40,543 --> 00:48:41,953
Mmm.
798
00:48:43,379 --> 00:48:45,711
Time I took hold of myself.
799
00:48:46,924 --> 00:48:50,963
Tomorrow I must get my things
from the laundry.
800
00:48:50,970 --> 00:48:53,336
Clean collar and shirt.
801
00:48:53,347 --> 00:48:57,590
If I wash the ones I've got on anymore,
they'll fall apart.
802
00:48:59,145 --> 00:49:01,887
I must make a good appearance.
803
00:49:01,897 --> 00:49:04,889
I've heard rumors the management
were at their wits' end
804
00:49:04,900 --> 00:49:06,891
and would be only too willing
805
00:49:06,902 --> 00:49:10,315
to have me run the publicity department
for them again.
806
00:49:11,782 --> 00:49:15,400
All it have to do is get fixed up
with a decent front tomorrow.
807
00:49:16,162 --> 00:49:18,494
It's as good as done.
808
00:49:18,497 --> 00:49:21,455
Poor Jimmy's off on his pipe dream again.
809
00:49:24,128 --> 00:49:29,543
I'm sorry we had to postpone
our trip again this April, piet.
810
00:49:29,550 --> 00:49:32,917
I'd hoped the blasted old estate
would be settled by then.
811
00:49:34,430 --> 00:49:36,421
We'll make it next year,
812
00:49:36,432 --> 00:49:40,345
even if we have to work
and earn our passage money.
813
00:49:43,481 --> 00:49:46,348
You'll stay with me at the old place
814
00:49:46,358 --> 00:49:48,519
just as long as you like.
815
00:49:49,487 --> 00:49:51,728
England in April. Hmm.
816
00:49:51,739 --> 00:49:54,151
Oh, I want you to see that, piet.
817
00:49:55,659 --> 00:50:00,369
I admit the veldt has its points,
but it's not home.
818
00:50:00,372 --> 00:50:02,784
Especially home in April.
819
00:50:03,792 --> 00:50:06,704
J; We've been together now &
820
00:50:06,712 --> 00:50:08,998
j for 40 years j
821
00:50:09,006 --> 00:50:12,715
j and it don't seem a day too much j
822
00:50:13,636 --> 00:50:16,252
j; There ain't a lady j
823
00:50:16,263 --> 00:50:18,174
j living in the land
824
00:50:18,182 --> 00:50:19,797
j as I'd swap j
825
00:50:19,808 --> 00:50:22,515
& for me dear old Dutch j
826
00:50:23,479 --> 00:50:26,061
j; There ain't a lady j
827
00:50:26,065 --> 00:50:28,351
j living in the land
828
00:50:28,359 --> 00:50:30,145
j as I'd swap j
829
00:50:30,152 --> 00:50:33,610
& for me dear old Dutch j
830
00:50:37,201 --> 00:50:41,410
ja, Cecil,
I can see how beautiful it must be.
831
00:50:42,122 --> 00:50:43,908
But I will enjoy
832
00:50:43,916 --> 00:50:46,248
when I am home too.
833
00:50:46,252 --> 00:50:49,244
The veldt. Ja!
834
00:50:50,464 --> 00:50:52,250
You could put england on it
835
00:50:52,258 --> 00:50:56,922
and it would look
like a farmer's small garden.
836
00:50:57,805 --> 00:50:59,761
By god,
837
00:50:59,765 --> 00:51:02,051
there is space to be free.
838
00:51:02,059 --> 00:51:04,425
The air...
839
00:51:04,436 --> 00:51:06,176
Like wine is!
840
00:51:06,188 --> 00:51:09,225
You don't need booze to be drunk.
841
00:51:10,109 --> 00:51:11,849
I'll make my stake and...
842
00:51:13,279 --> 00:51:15,270
Get my new gambling house open
843
00:51:15,281 --> 00:51:17,237
before you boys leave.
844
00:51:18,409 --> 00:51:20,400
You gotta come to the opening.
845
00:51:20,411 --> 00:51:23,494
B'jeez, Jimmy's started 'em off
smokin' the same hop.
846
00:51:25,249 --> 00:51:28,241
This bughouse'll drive me stark,
raving loony yet!
847
00:51:29,003 --> 00:51:30,368
What? What'd ya say?
848
00:51:33,465 --> 00:51:35,501
Nothing, Harry.
849
00:51:35,509 --> 00:51:37,465
I had a crazy thought in my head.
850
00:51:39,013 --> 00:51:41,220
"Crazy" is right.
851
00:51:41,223 --> 00:51:43,430
You old wise guy.
852
00:51:43,434 --> 00:51:46,096
Damned old fool anarchist-i-won't-worker.
853
00:51:47,146 --> 00:51:48,932
You'll pay up tomorrow,
854
00:51:48,939 --> 00:51:51,806
or I'll...
I'll start a Harry hope revolution.
855
00:51:51,817 --> 00:51:55,150
I'll tie a dispossess bomb to your tail
856
00:51:55,154 --> 00:51:57,736
that'll blow you out in the street.
857
00:51:57,740 --> 00:52:00,277
I'll... I'll make your movement move!
858
00:52:07,833 --> 00:52:10,324
Well, sure'n it's hot, parchin' work,
859
00:52:10,336 --> 00:52:13,419
sittin' here laughin' at your jokes
so early in the morning...
860
00:52:14,089 --> 00:52:16,205
On an empty stomach.
861
00:52:16,216 --> 00:52:18,207
Who asked you to laugh anyway?
862
00:52:19,428 --> 00:52:21,293
B'jeez, bessie'd never forgive me
863
00:52:21,305 --> 00:52:24,388
if she knew I had you living in our flat,
864
00:52:24,391 --> 00:52:28,475
throwin' ashes and cigar butts
on our carpet.
865
00:52:28,479 --> 00:52:31,016
You know her opinion of you, Mac.
866
00:52:31,023 --> 00:52:33,514
"That pat mcgloin
is the biggest drunken grafter
867
00:52:33,525 --> 00:52:37,109
that ever disgraced the police force,"
she used to say.
868
00:52:37,112 --> 00:52:41,731
"If I had my way, he'd get booted
out in the gutter on his fat behind."
869
00:52:41,742 --> 00:52:43,778
Some claim
she didn't say "behind" either.
870
00:52:45,579 --> 00:52:47,365
She didn't mean it.
871
00:52:47,373 --> 00:52:50,365
She was angry at me
because you used to get me drunk.
872
00:52:51,669 --> 00:52:53,375
But Bess,
873
00:52:53,379 --> 00:52:56,337
she had a heart of gold
underneath her sharpness.
874
00:52:57,883 --> 00:53:01,341
She knew I was innocent
of all the charges.
875
00:53:03,389 --> 00:53:05,095
One moment, please!
876
00:53:05,891 --> 00:53:07,347
Lieutenant mcgloin...
877
00:53:09,019 --> 00:53:11,260
Are you aware that you're under oath?
878
00:53:12,398 --> 00:53:14,810
You know what the penalty for perjury is?
879
00:53:16,902 --> 00:53:18,938
Come now, lieutenant.
880
00:53:18,946 --> 00:53:22,188
Isn't it a fact
that you're guilty as hell?
881
00:53:22,199 --> 00:53:25,783
No, don't say "how 'bout your old man?”
I'm asking the questions!
882
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,695
Gentlemen of the jury,
883
00:53:32,459 --> 00:53:34,450
court will now recess
884
00:53:34,461 --> 00:53:37,578
while the da sings out a little ditty
that he learned at Harvard.
885
00:53:38,632 --> 00:53:41,374
It was composed in a wanton moment
886
00:53:41,385 --> 00:53:43,797
by the Dean of the divinity school
887
00:53:43,804 --> 00:53:46,386
on a moonlight night in July, 1776,
888
00:53:46,390 --> 00:53:49,223
while sobering up in a turkish bath.
889
00:53:54,356 --> 00:53:57,143
J and you and I'll agree
890
00:53:57,151 --> 00:53:58,982
j and I'll show you the prettiest j
891
00:53:59,987 --> 00:54:01,227
- rocky!
- & that"... &
892
00:54:02,156 --> 00:54:04,568
no. Harry, please.
893
00:54:04,575 --> 00:54:07,317
Please don't make rocky
bounce me upstairs. I'll go crazy alone.
894
00:54:08,412 --> 00:54:11,620
I-I apologize. I apologize, Mac.
895
00:54:11,623 --> 00:54:14,581
Don't get sore. I was only kidding you.
896
00:54:14,585 --> 00:54:18,419
You will let me... take your case,
897
00:54:18,422 --> 00:54:19,912
won't you, Mac?
898
00:54:20,799 --> 00:54:22,835
Yeah. Sure, Willie.
899
00:54:22,843 --> 00:54:25,129
And it'll make your reputation.
900
00:54:25,137 --> 00:54:27,378
Hey, Mac.
901
00:54:27,389 --> 00:54:30,222
What the hell you think's
happened to hickey?
902
00:54:30,225 --> 00:54:32,341
I hope he turns up.
903
00:54:32,352 --> 00:54:35,094
You remember that gag he always pulls
904
00:54:35,105 --> 00:54:37,096
about his wife and the iceman?
905
00:54:43,155 --> 00:54:45,362
Opening time, boss.
906
00:54:45,365 --> 00:54:47,230
Why don't you go to bed, boss?
907
00:54:47,242 --> 00:54:49,107
Hickey'd never turn up
this time of the morning.
908
00:54:49,119 --> 00:54:50,279
Someone's comin' now!
909
00:54:50,287 --> 00:54:52,278
Oh, that's only my two pigs.
910
00:54:52,289 --> 00:54:54,371
It's about time they showed.
911
00:54:54,374 --> 00:54:56,456
You keep them dumb broads quiet.
912
00:54:56,460 --> 00:54:58,576
I'm gonna catch a couple more winks here.
913
00:54:58,587 --> 00:55:00,828
I don't want no damn fool
laughin' and screechin'.
914
00:55:01,590 --> 00:55:03,330
Hey.
915
00:55:03,342 --> 00:55:07,506
Never thought I'd see the day when
Harry hope's would have tarts slippin" in.
916
00:55:07,513 --> 00:55:10,004
What would bessie think, hmm?
917
00:55:10,015 --> 00:55:14,349
But I don't let 'em use my rooms
for business. Pay their rent too.
918
00:55:16,146 --> 00:55:18,979
- Nix! Piano!
- Which is more than I can say for...
919
00:55:18,982 --> 00:55:21,348
B'jeez, Mac.
920
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:25,148
I'll... t'll bet bessie's
doin' somersaults in her grave.
921
00:55:27,574 --> 00:55:29,030
Hello.
922
00:55:31,870 --> 00:55:33,861
- Jeez, Pearl.
- Hello.
923
00:55:34,873 --> 00:55:36,864
This place is a morgue,
924
00:55:36,875 --> 00:55:38,831
with all these stiffs on deck.
925
00:55:40,379 --> 00:55:43,041
Hey, you old wise guy!
926
00:55:43,048 --> 00:55:44,458
Ain't you died yet?
927
00:55:45,717 --> 00:55:47,753
Not yet, Margie.
928
00:55:47,761 --> 00:55:50,093
But I'm waiting impatiently for the end.
929
00:55:50,097 --> 00:55:51,257
Yeah?
930
00:55:53,183 --> 00:55:55,595
Hey, who's the new guy? Friend of yours?
931
00:55:56,770 --> 00:55:57,930
Hey, kid!
932
00:55:58,897 --> 00:56:00,933
You wanna have a good time? Huh?
933
00:56:00,941 --> 00:56:02,932
Hey! Hell with him!
934
00:56:02,943 --> 00:56:04,979
- You dumb broads!
- Yeah. Tough.
935
00:56:04,987 --> 00:56:06,443
Cut the loud talk.
936
00:56:06,446 --> 00:56:08,482
Sit down before I knock ya down.
937
00:56:08,490 --> 00:56:09,775
Oh!
938
00:56:11,910 --> 00:56:13,741
What? What? What?
939
00:56:17,708 --> 00:56:20,541
Well, how did you tramps do?
940
00:56:20,544 --> 00:56:22,660
- Uh, pretty good. Huh, Pearl?
- Sure.
941
00:56:22,671 --> 00:56:24,662
We nailed a couple of all-night guys.
942
00:56:24,673 --> 00:56:26,880
On sixth Avenue. Boobs from the sticks.
943
00:56:26,884 --> 00:56:28,875
Stinko, the both of 'em.
944
00:56:28,886 --> 00:56:32,049
We thinks we's in luck,
so we steers 'em to a real hotel.
945
00:56:32,055 --> 00:56:33,795
We figure they're too stinko
to bother us much,
946
00:56:33,807 --> 00:56:35,468
and we could cop a good night's sleep
947
00:56:35,475 --> 00:56:39,059
in beds that ain't got cobblestones in
the mattress like the ones in this dump.
948
00:56:39,062 --> 00:56:40,802
- But we was out of luck.
- Yeah.
949
00:56:40,814 --> 00:56:44,807
They didn't bother us much that way,
but they wouldn't go to sleep either, see.
950
00:56:44,818 --> 00:56:47,776
Jeez, I never heard such Gabby guys.
951
00:56:48,614 --> 00:56:50,650
So, here we are.
952
00:56:51,533 --> 00:56:52,864
Yeah, I see you.
953
00:56:52,868 --> 00:56:54,859
But I don't see no dough yet.
954
00:56:54,870 --> 00:56:57,111
Right on the job, ain't he, Margie?
955
00:56:57,122 --> 00:56:59,613
Yeah, our little businessman.
That's him.
956
00:56:59,625 --> 00:57:02,583
- Come on. Dig.
- What, you scared we're holding out on ya?
957
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,337
The way he grabs,
you'd think it was him done the work.
958
00:57:07,341 --> 00:57:09,798
Here ya are, grafter.
959
00:57:09,801 --> 00:57:11,666
I hope it chokes ya.
960
00:57:11,678 --> 00:57:14,340
You dumb baby dolls give me a pain.
961
00:57:14,348 --> 00:57:18,512
What would you do with money if I
wasn't around? Give it all to some pimp.
962
00:57:18,518 --> 00:57:20,133
Jeez, what's the difference?
963
00:57:20,145 --> 00:57:22,056
Oh, I didn't mean that, rocky.
964
00:57:22,064 --> 00:57:24,726
A lot of difference. Get me?
965
00:57:24,733 --> 00:57:27,224
Sure. Don't get sore.
966
00:57:27,235 --> 00:57:30,193
Gee, can't you take a little kiddin'?
967
00:57:30,197 --> 00:57:34,065
Yeah, come on, rocky.
Pearl was only kiddin'.
968
00:57:34,076 --> 00:57:37,159
We know you don't live off us.
You got a regular job.
969
00:57:37,162 --> 00:57:39,244
That's why we like you.
970
00:57:39,247 --> 00:57:40,987
You're a bartender.
971
00:57:40,999 --> 00:57:44,992
Sure. I'm a bartender.
And I treat you girls right, don't I?
972
00:57:45,003 --> 00:57:46,413
- Yeah.
- Sure.
973
00:57:46,421 --> 00:57:49,083
Jeez, I'm wise you hold out on me.
974
00:57:49,091 --> 00:57:52,800
But I know it ain't much, so
what the hell. I let you get away with it.
975
00:57:55,722 --> 00:57:58,714
Hey, you know you oughtn't
to kid him about that stuff.
976
00:57:58,725 --> 00:58:00,716
Serve you right if he beat you up.
977
00:58:00,727 --> 00:58:03,218
I bet he'd give you an awful beatin'
once he started.
978
00:58:03,230 --> 00:58:04,720
Guineas got awful tempers.
979
00:58:04,731 --> 00:58:07,848
Anyways, we wouldn't keep no pimp
like we were regular old whores.
980
00:58:07,859 --> 00:58:09,599
- We ain't that bad.
- Oh, no.
981
00:58:09,611 --> 00:58:11,852
- We're tarts, but that's all.
- Right.
982
00:58:13,573 --> 00:58:15,279
Hey, rocky.
983
00:58:15,283 --> 00:58:18,025
Cora got back around three o'clock.
984
00:58:18,036 --> 00:58:20,778
She woke up Chuck
and dragged him out of the hay
985
00:58:20,789 --> 00:58:22,950
to go to a chop suey joint.
986
00:58:22,958 --> 00:58:25,745
Imagine him standin' for that stuff?
987
00:58:25,752 --> 00:58:27,993
I bet they've been sittin' around,
988
00:58:28,005 --> 00:58:30,997
kiddin' themselves with
that old pipe dream about gettin' married
989
00:58:31,008 --> 00:58:33,294
and settlin' down on a farm.
990
00:58:33,301 --> 00:58:36,509
Jeez, when Chuck's on the wagon
they never lay off that dope.
991
00:58:37,597 --> 00:58:38,962
Yeah.
992
00:58:38,974 --> 00:58:42,432
Of all the pipe dreams in this dump,
they got the nuttiest.
993
00:58:42,436 --> 00:58:44,427
They been dreamin' it for years,
994
00:58:44,438 --> 00:58:47,771
every time Chuck goes on the wagon.
995
00:58:47,774 --> 00:58:49,810
What would getting married get him?
996
00:58:49,818 --> 00:58:52,651
But the farm stuff is the sappiest part,
997
00:58:52,654 --> 00:58:55,646
when both of them have been
dragged up in this ward
998
00:58:55,657 --> 00:58:59,070
and they ain't never been nearer a farm
than coney island.
999
00:58:59,077 --> 00:59:00,112
Ehh.
1000
00:59:01,455 --> 00:59:04,538
They'd get d.T.'S
if they ever heard a cricket chirp.
1001
00:59:04,541 --> 00:59:07,032
I heard crickets once.
1002
00:59:07,044 --> 00:59:09,251
On my cousin's place in Jersey.
1003
00:59:09,254 --> 00:59:11,916
I couldn't sleep a wink.
1004
00:59:11,923 --> 00:59:16,337
Jeez, can you picture a good barkeep
like Chuck diggin' spuds?
1005
00:59:16,344 --> 00:59:19,211
And imagine a whore
hustlin' the cows home.
1006
00:59:19,222 --> 00:59:21,554
Hey, rocky,
you oughtn't to call Cora that.
1007
00:59:21,558 --> 00:59:24,174
- I mean, she may be a tart, but, uh...
- Oh, sure, sure.
1008
00:59:24,186 --> 00:59:26,177
That's all I meant. A tart.
1009
00:59:26,188 --> 00:59:28,804
But he's right about the damn cows,
Margie.
1010
00:59:28,815 --> 00:59:32,023
Jeez, I bet Cora don't know
which end of the cow has the horns.
1011
00:59:32,027 --> 00:59:33,312
I'm gonna ask her!
1012
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:35,311
- Come on.
- Here's your chance.
1013
00:59:35,322 --> 00:59:37,062
Hello, bums!
1014
00:59:39,493 --> 00:59:41,404
Jeez!
1015
00:59:41,411 --> 00:59:44,619
The morgue on a rainy Sunday night.
1016
00:59:44,623 --> 00:59:46,739
Hello, wise guy. Ain't you croaked yet?
1017
00:59:47,459 --> 00:59:49,324
Not yet, Cora.
1018
00:59:49,336 --> 00:59:51,372
Damned tiring, just waiting for the end.
1019
00:59:51,379 --> 00:59:55,668
Oh, go on. You'll never die. You'll have
to hire somebody to croak you with an ax.
1020
00:59:55,675 --> 00:59:58,667
You dumb hooker, cut the loud talk.
1021
00:59:59,763 --> 01:00:02,095
- This ain't a cathouse.
- Aw!
1022
01:00:03,642 --> 01:00:05,678
Hey, Cora. How you doin'?
1023
01:00:05,685 --> 01:00:08,267
Hey, Chuck.
1024
01:00:10,941 --> 01:00:14,809
If I'd known this dump was a hooker
hangout, I'd never have come here.
1025
01:00:14,820 --> 01:00:18,108
- You seem down on the ladies.
- I hate every bitch that ever lived.
1026
01:00:20,617 --> 01:00:23,074
You can understand how I feel, can't you,
when I was getting mixed up with that tart
1027
01:00:23,078 --> 01:00:25,285
that made me have that fight with mother.
1028
01:00:29,918 --> 01:00:33,410
What does it matter to you? You're in
the grandstand. You're through with life.
1029
01:00:33,421 --> 01:00:35,787
I'm glad you remembered that.
1030
01:00:38,844 --> 01:00:40,505
Who's the guy with Larry?
1031
01:00:40,512 --> 01:00:42,343
A tightwad. The hell with him.
1032
01:00:43,431 --> 01:00:45,843
Say, Cora, wise me up.
1033
01:00:45,851 --> 01:00:48,593
Which end of the cow is the horns on?
1034
01:00:48,603 --> 01:00:50,389
Aw, don't bring that up.
1035
01:00:50,397 --> 01:00:53,514
Me and this overgrown tramp's
been scrappin' about the farm.
1036
01:00:53,525 --> 01:00:55,015
He says Jersey's the best place,
1037
01:00:55,026 --> 01:00:58,234
and I said long island,
on account of we'll be near coney.
1038
01:00:58,238 --> 01:01:01,230
And then I tells him, "how do I know
you're off of periodicals for life?"
1039
01:01:01,241 --> 01:01:03,448
I tells her I'm off the stuff for life.
1040
01:01:03,451 --> 01:01:05,066
She beefs
we won't be married a month
1041
01:01:05,078 --> 01:01:07,410
before I'll throw it in her face
she was a tart.
1042
01:01:07,414 --> 01:01:10,747
I tells her, what the hell do you think
I'm marryin'? A virgin?
1043
01:01:10,750 --> 01:01:13,332
Why should I care,
as long as you lay off it
1044
01:01:13,336 --> 01:01:16,078
and don't do no cheatin'
with the iceman or nobody.
1045
01:01:16,089 --> 01:01:18,876
That's on the level, baby.
1046
01:01:18,884 --> 01:01:20,715
Aw, you big tramp.
1047
01:01:20,719 --> 01:01:24,632
Can you tie it?
I'll buy you a drink. I'll do anything.
1048
01:01:24,639 --> 01:01:27,051
No! This round's on me.
1049
01:01:27,058 --> 01:01:30,516
I run into luck. That's why I dragged
Chuck out of bed... to celebrate.
1050
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,806
It was a sailor. I rolled him.
1051
01:01:32,814 --> 01:01:34,770
Listen, it was a scream.
1052
01:01:34,774 --> 01:01:38,107
My dogs was givin' out when I seen
this guy holdin' up a lamppost,
1053
01:01:38,111 --> 01:01:40,818
so I hurried to get him before a cop did.
1054
01:01:40,822 --> 01:01:44,235
I says, "hello, handsome.
Wanna have a good time?"
1055
01:01:44,242 --> 01:01:46,699
Jeez, he was paralyzed!
1056
01:01:46,703 --> 01:01:48,694
One of them polite jags.
1057
01:01:48,705 --> 01:01:50,991
Tries to bow to me. Imagine.
1058
01:01:50,999 --> 01:01:53,866
And I had to prop him up
or he'd fell on his nose.
1059
01:01:53,877 --> 01:01:56,744
"Lady," he says, "can ya kindly tell me
1060
01:01:56,755 --> 01:01:59,167
the nearest way
to the museum of natural history?"
1061
01:02:00,508 --> 01:02:03,045
Can you imagine? At 2:00 A.M.!
1062
01:02:03,053 --> 01:02:05,465
As if I'd know where the dump was anyway.
1063
01:02:05,472 --> 01:02:08,464
But I says, uh, "sure thing, honey boy.
1064
01:02:08,475 --> 01:02:10,557
I'll be only too glad.”
1065
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:12,926
So I steered him into a side street
where it was dark,
1066
01:02:12,938 --> 01:02:15,805
propped him against the wall
and I give him a frisk.
1067
01:02:15,815 --> 01:02:17,646
And what do you think he does?
1068
01:02:17,651 --> 01:02:21,235
Jeez, I ain't lyin'.
He begins to laugh, the big sap.
1069
01:02:23,031 --> 01:02:26,899
"Quit ticklin' me," he says,
while I was friskin' him for his roll!
1070
01:02:26,910 --> 01:02:28,866
Well, I near died!
1071
01:02:30,580 --> 01:02:33,572
Then I turned him around
and give him a shove to start him.
1072
01:02:33,583 --> 01:02:35,619
"Just keep goin'," I told him.
1073
01:02:35,627 --> 01:02:39,040
"It's a big, white building on your right.
You can't miss it."
1074
01:02:39,047 --> 01:02:40,378
Oh!
1075
01:02:40,382 --> 01:02:42,748
He must be swimmin'
in the north river yet.
1076
01:02:42,759 --> 01:02:45,717
Ain't uncle Sam a sap
to trust guys like that with dough.
1077
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,052
Well, I picked 12 bucks off of him.
1078
01:02:48,974 --> 01:02:51,431
So come on, rocky. Set 'em up.
1079
01:02:51,434 --> 01:02:55,177
Oh, say, Chuck's kiddin' about the iceman
a minute ago reminds me.
1080
01:02:55,188 --> 01:02:58,555
- Where the hell's hickey?
- That's what we're all wonderin'.
1081
01:02:58,566 --> 01:03:01,308
Well, he oughta be here.
Me and Chuck seen him.
1082
01:03:01,319 --> 01:03:03,025
- You've seen hickey?
- Yeah.
1083
01:03:03,029 --> 01:03:05,566
Hey, boss! Boss, boss, come to!
1084
01:03:05,573 --> 01:03:07,564
Cora's seen hickey.
1085
01:03:07,575 --> 01:03:09,907
- Where did you see him, Cora?
- Right on the next corner.
1086
01:03:09,911 --> 01:03:11,492
He was standin' there.
1087
01:03:11,496 --> 01:03:13,862
We said, "welcome to our city.
1088
01:03:13,873 --> 01:03:17,161
The gang's expectin' you with
their tongues hangin' out a yard long."
1089
01:03:17,168 --> 01:03:21,127
And I kidded him, "how's the iceman,
hickey? How's he doin' at your house?"
1090
01:03:21,131 --> 01:03:24,089
And he laughs and says, "fine."
1091
01:03:24,092 --> 01:03:27,880
And then he says,
"tell the gang I'll be along in a minute.
1092
01:03:27,887 --> 01:03:29,718
I'm just finishin' figurin' out
the best way
1093
01:03:29,723 --> 01:03:31,588
to save 'em and bring 'em peace.”
1094
01:03:33,018 --> 01:03:36,010
B'jeez, he's thought up a new gag.
1095
01:03:36,021 --> 01:03:39,138
It's a wonder he didn't borrow
a salvation army uniform
1096
01:03:39,149 --> 01:03:41,105
and show up in that!
1097
01:03:41,109 --> 01:03:44,567
Go out and get him, rocky.
Tell him we're waitin' to be saved.
1098
01:03:44,571 --> 01:03:47,563
Yeah, Harry, he was only kiddin',
but he was funny too somehow.
1099
01:03:47,574 --> 01:03:49,110
He was different or somethin'.
1100
01:03:49,117 --> 01:03:51,984
Well, he was sober, baby.
That's what made him different.
1101
01:03:51,995 --> 01:03:54,782
Sure. Gee, ain't I dumb?
1102
01:03:54,789 --> 01:03:57,656
Dumbest broad I ever seen.
1103
01:03:57,667 --> 01:03:59,908
Hmm. Sober.
1104
01:03:59,919 --> 01:04:01,534
That's funny.
1105
01:04:01,546 --> 01:04:04,413
He's always lapped up
a good starter on his way here.
1106
01:04:04,424 --> 01:04:06,164
Well, b'jeez, he won't be sober long.
1107
01:04:06,176 --> 01:04:10,089
He'll be good and ripe
for my birthday party tonight at 12:00.
1108
01:04:10,096 --> 01:04:13,463
Listen, he's fixed some new gag
to pull on us.
1109
01:04:13,475 --> 01:04:16,182
We'll pretend to let him kid us, see,
1110
01:04:16,186 --> 01:04:18,768
and we'll kid the pants off of him!
1111
01:04:20,315 --> 01:04:22,556
Here's the old son of a bitch!
1112
01:04:22,567 --> 01:04:25,900
Hello, gang!
1113
01:04:25,904 --> 01:04:29,863

1122
01:04:50,595 --> 01:04:52,506
Bring on the rat poison.
1123
01:04:52,514 --> 01:04:55,381
- How goes it, governor?
- B'jeez, hickey, you old bastard.
1124
01:04:55,392 --> 01:04:57,053
It's good to see you.
1125
01:04:57,060 --> 01:05:00,018
- Hello, Mac.
- Welcome, boyo!
1126
01:05:00,021 --> 01:05:01,852
- Willie!
- Hickey!
1127
01:05:01,856 --> 01:05:03,221
Hi, old scout!
1128
01:05:05,235 --> 01:05:07,851
- Hello, Joe.
- All right, hickey. How you doin'?
1129
01:05:07,862 --> 01:05:09,853
- Well, hickey, old Tom.
- Hup! Captain Lewis!
1130
01:05:10,990 --> 01:05:12,696
General wetjoen.
1131
01:05:12,700 --> 01:05:13,940
- Aha!
- T saw it!
1132
01:05:15,453 --> 01:05:17,990
Hello, Hugo. How goes it?
1133
01:05:18,957 --> 01:05:20,117
Whoa!
1134
01:05:20,125 --> 01:05:23,208
Too much lying beneath
the Willow trees, huh?
1135
01:05:24,337 --> 01:05:25,873
Hello, Jimmy.
1136
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,121
- It's grand to see you.
- How's the old scout?
1137
01:05:28,133 --> 01:05:30,590
- You look great.
- Sit down, hickey. Sit down.
1138
01:05:31,678 --> 01:05:34,670
Well, I, uh... Jimmy!
1139
01:05:34,681 --> 01:05:38,594
B'jeez, hickey, it seems natural
to see your ugly, grinnin' map.
1140
01:05:38,601 --> 01:05:41,217
This dumb broad was tryin'
to tell us you'd changed.
1141
01:05:41,229 --> 01:05:44,266
But you ain't a damn bit.
Tell us about yourself.
1142
01:05:44,274 --> 01:05:46,811
Jeez, hickey,
you look like a million dollars.
1143
01:05:46,818 --> 01:05:48,979
Here's your key, hickey. Same old room.
1144
01:05:48,987 --> 01:05:50,477
Oh, thanks, rocky.
1145
01:05:50,488 --> 01:05:53,025
I'll be going up in a little while
and grab a snooze.
1146
01:05:53,032 --> 01:05:55,648
I haven't been able to sleep lately.
Tired as hell.
1147
01:05:55,660 --> 01:05:57,867
Couple hours good kip'll fix me.
1148
01:05:57,871 --> 01:06:01,580
First time I ever heard you
worry about sleep.
1149
01:06:01,583 --> 01:06:03,448
B'jeez, you never would go to bed.
1150
01:06:03,460 --> 01:06:06,167
Get a couple of slugs under your belt,
you'll forget sleepin'.
1151
01:06:06,171 --> 01:06:09,083
Here's mud in your eye, hickey.
1152
01:06:09,090 --> 01:06:11,627
All right, drink hearty, boys and girls.
1153
01:06:15,221 --> 01:06:19,464
B'jeez, is that a new stunt,
drinkin' your chaser first?
1154
01:06:19,476 --> 01:06:21,432
Uh, no. I forgot to tell rocky.
1155
01:06:21,436 --> 01:06:24,678
You'll have to excuse me, boys and girls,
but I'm off the stuff for keeps.
1156
01:06:26,524 --> 01:06:28,139
What the hell?
1157
01:06:28,902 --> 01:06:30,267
Sure, sure.
1158
01:06:30,278 --> 01:06:32,485
Joined the salvation army, ain't ya?
1159
01:06:32,489 --> 01:06:35,572
Been elected President of the wctu.
1160
01:06:35,575 --> 01:06:37,281
Take the bottle away from him, rocky.
1161
01:06:37,285 --> 01:06:39,401
We don't wanna tempt him into sin.
1162
01:06:39,412 --> 01:06:42,620
Well, I know it's hard to believe,
but Cora was right, Harry.
1163
01:06:42,624 --> 01:06:45,286
I have changed. I mean, about the booze.
1164
01:06:45,293 --> 01:06:46,703
I don't need it anymore.
1165
01:06:47,921 --> 01:06:51,379
B'jeez, Cora said
you was comin' here to save us.
1166
01:06:51,382 --> 01:06:54,920
Well, go on. Get this joke off your chest.
Start the service.
1167
01:06:54,928 --> 01:06:58,170
Sing a goddamned hymn if you like.
We'll all join in the chorus.
1168
01:06:58,181 --> 01:07:00,797
& no drunk will come in
to this beautiful home
1169
01:07:00,808 --> 01:07:04,175
you don't think I'd come around peddling
any brand of temperance bunk, do ya?
1170
01:07:04,187 --> 01:07:07,520
Just 'cause I quit the stuff
don't mean I'm going prohibition.
1171
01:07:07,524 --> 01:07:10,311
I'm not that ungrateful.
It's given me too many good times.
1172
01:07:10,318 --> 01:07:12,354
So if anybody wants to get drunk,
1173
01:07:14,531 --> 01:07:16,271
why the hell shouldn't they?
1174
01:07:16,282 --> 01:07:19,991
Hell, I know that game from soup to nuts.
I wrote the book.
1175
01:07:19,994 --> 01:07:21,985
The only reason I quit is,
1176
01:07:21,996 --> 01:07:24,078
I finally had the guts to face myself
1177
01:07:24,082 --> 01:07:28,371
and throw overboard that damned lying
pipe dream that was making me miserable
1178
01:07:28,378 --> 01:07:32,041
and do what I had to do
for the happiness of all concerned.
1179
01:07:32,048 --> 01:07:35,131
Then all at once
I was at peace with myself
1180
01:07:35,134 --> 01:07:37,090
and I didn't need the booze anymore.
1181
01:07:40,890 --> 01:07:43,632
But what the hell.
Don't let me be a wet blanket.
1182
01:07:43,643 --> 01:07:45,179
Set 'em up again, rocky.
1183
01:07:45,186 --> 01:07:48,349
Here. Keep the balls comin'
till that's killed. Then ask for more.
1184
01:07:48,356 --> 01:07:51,189
Jeez. A roll that'd choke a hippopotamus.
1185
01:07:51,192 --> 01:07:52,773
Fill up, youse guys!
1186
01:07:52,777 --> 01:07:54,768
That sounds more like you, hickey.
1187
01:07:54,779 --> 01:07:57,771
That water-wagon bull.
1188
01:07:57,782 --> 01:07:59,898
Quit the act and have a drink,
for chrissake.
1189
01:07:59,909 --> 01:08:01,069
It's no act, governor.
1190
01:08:01,077 --> 01:08:04,194
But that don't mean I'm a teetotal grouch
and can't be in the party.
1191
01:08:04,205 --> 01:08:06,912
Why else do you think I'm here except
to have a party, like I've always done,
1192
01:08:06,916 --> 01:08:09,123
and help celebrate your birthday tonight?
1193
01:08:09,127 --> 01:08:11,118
You've all been good pals to me.
1194
01:08:11,129 --> 01:08:13,120
Best friends I've ever had.
1195
01:08:13,131 --> 01:08:15,463
And I been thinking about you
ever since I left the house,
1196
01:08:15,466 --> 01:08:17,331
all the time I was walking here.
1197
01:08:17,343 --> 01:08:20,585
Walkin'? B'jeez!
You mean to say you walked?
1198
01:08:20,597 --> 01:08:22,428
I sure as hell did.
1199
01:08:22,432 --> 01:08:25,640
All the way from the wilds
of darkest astoria.
1200
01:08:25,643 --> 01:08:28,055
I seemed to get here before I knew it.
1201
01:08:28,062 --> 01:08:30,053
And that oughta encourage you, governor.
1202
01:08:30,064 --> 01:08:33,306
Show you a little walk around the ward
is nothing to be scared about.
1203
01:08:33,318 --> 01:08:35,024
It was going on 12:00
1204
01:08:35,028 --> 01:08:37,314
when I went into the bedroom
to tell Evelyn I was leaving.
1205
01:08:37,322 --> 01:08:39,688
Six hours, say. No, less than that.
1206
01:08:39,699 --> 01:08:41,360
'Cause I'd been standing
on the street corner some time
1207
01:08:41,367 --> 01:08:43,028
before Chuck and Cora came along,
1208
01:08:43,036 --> 01:08:44,992
thinking about all of you.
1209
01:08:44,996 --> 01:08:48,580
Course I was only kidding, Cora,
with that stuff about saving you.
1210
01:08:48,583 --> 01:08:51,120
But no, I wasn't either.
1211
01:08:51,127 --> 01:08:52,788
But I didn't mean booze.
1212
01:08:52,795 --> 01:08:54,786
I meant save you from pipe dreams.
1213
01:08:54,797 --> 01:08:56,788
Because I know now, from my experience,
1214
01:08:56,799 --> 01:08:59,506
that they're the things that can really
poison and ruin a guy's life
1215
01:08:59,510 --> 01:09:01,796
and keep him from finding any peace.
1216
01:09:01,804 --> 01:09:06,423
If you knew how free and contented
I feel now... why, I'm like a new man.
1217
01:09:06,434 --> 01:09:10,723
And the cure for them is so damn simple,
once you got the nerve.
1218
01:09:10,730 --> 01:09:14,314
Just stop lying to yourself
and kidding yourself about tomorrows.
1219
01:09:16,444 --> 01:09:19,732
Hell, this begins to sound like a damn
sermon on the way to lead the good life.
1220
01:09:19,739 --> 01:09:21,354
It's in my blood, I guess.
1221
01:09:21,366 --> 01:09:24,529
My old man used to whale salvation
into my heinie with a birch rod.
1222
01:09:24,535 --> 01:09:26,992
He was a preacher in the sticks
of Indiana, like I've told you.
1223
01:09:26,996 --> 01:09:28,827
Got my knack of sales gab from him too.
1224
01:09:28,831 --> 01:09:30,992
He was the boy that could
sell those hoosier hayseeds
1225
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,991
building lots along the golden street.
1226
01:09:33,002 --> 01:09:34,663
Don't look at me like that,
boys and girls.
1227
01:09:34,671 --> 01:09:37,834
I'm not trying to sell you a goldbrick.
Nothing up my sleeves. Honest.
1228
01:09:40,134 --> 01:09:41,874
Take you, governor.
1229
01:09:41,886 --> 01:09:43,672
That walk around the ward you never take.
1230
01:09:45,139 --> 01:09:48,427
- What about it?
- You know as well as I do, Harry.
1231
01:09:48,434 --> 01:09:50,140
Everything about it.
1232
01:09:51,646 --> 01:09:54,513
- Well, b'Jesus, I'm going to take it.
- Of course you are.
1233
01:09:54,524 --> 01:09:56,230
Because I'm gonna help you.
1234
01:09:56,234 --> 01:10:00,398
I know it's the thing you've gotta do
before you know what real peace means.
1235
01:10:00,405 --> 01:10:02,270
Same thing with you, Jimmy.
1236
01:10:02,281 --> 01:10:05,364
Gonna have to try and get your
old job back, and no tomorrows about it.
1237
01:10:05,368 --> 01:10:07,575
- I-i-1i...
- No, no, don't tell me.
1238
01:10:07,578 --> 01:10:10,240
I know all about tomorrows.
I wrote the book.
1239
01:10:11,749 --> 01:10:14,661
I-I don't understand you, hickey.
1240
01:10:14,669 --> 01:10:16,705
I admit I've foolishly delayed,
1241
01:10:16,713 --> 01:10:20,001
but as it happens,
well, I just made up my mind
1242
01:10:20,007 --> 01:10:22,544
that as soon as I can
get straightened out...
1243
01:10:22,552 --> 01:10:24,713
Fine, fine. That's the spirit.
1244
01:10:24,721 --> 01:10:28,088
And I'm gonna help you, Jimmy, because
you've always been damn kind to me,
1245
01:10:28,099 --> 01:10:30,431
and I wanna prove
how grateful I am to you.
1246
01:10:30,435 --> 01:10:33,222
When it's all over and you don't
have to nag yourself anymore,
1247
01:10:33,229 --> 01:10:35,094
you'll be grateful to me too.
1248
01:10:35,106 --> 01:10:38,564
And all the rest of you...
Ladies included...
1249
01:10:38,568 --> 01:10:40,809
Are in the same boat, one way or another.
1250
01:10:40,820 --> 01:10:43,482
B'god, you've hit the nail on the head,
hickey.
1251
01:10:43,489 --> 01:10:47,402
This dump is the palace of pipe dreams.
1252
01:10:47,410 --> 01:10:49,492
Well, well.
1253
01:10:49,495 --> 01:10:52,612
The old grandstand philosopher
speaks, huh?
1254
01:10:52,623 --> 01:10:54,989
And you think you're
the big exception, eh?
1255
01:10:55,001 --> 01:10:56,832
Life doesn't mean a damn to you anymore.
1256
01:10:56,836 --> 01:10:58,827
You're retired from the circus.
1257
01:10:58,838 --> 01:11:02,672
You're impatiently waiting for the end
and the good old, long sleep.
1258
01:11:02,675 --> 01:11:04,757
Well, I think a lot of you,
Larry, you old bastard,
1259
01:11:04,761 --> 01:11:06,752
and I'll try to make
an honest man out of you too.
1260
01:11:06,763 --> 01:11:09,095
What the devil are you hinting at?
1261
01:11:09,098 --> 01:11:12,636
Well, you don't have to ask me, do ya?
Wise old guy like you.
1262
01:11:12,643 --> 01:11:15,055
Just ask yourself. I'll bet you know.
1263
01:11:15,062 --> 01:11:17,553
He's got your number, all right, Larry.
That's the stuff, hickey.
1264
01:11:17,565 --> 01:11:19,556
He's got no right to sneak out
of everything.
1265
01:11:19,567 --> 01:11:21,649
Well, hello.
1266
01:11:21,652 --> 01:11:23,233
A stranger in our midst.
1267
01:11:24,530 --> 01:11:26,486
I didn't notice you before, brother.
1268
01:11:30,495 --> 01:11:33,328
My name's, uh, parritt.
I'm an old friend of Larry's.
1269
01:11:38,169 --> 01:11:40,876
- What are you staring at?
- Oh, no offense, brother.
1270
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:42,745
I was just trying to figure.
1271
01:11:42,757 --> 01:11:45,043
Haven't we met before someplace?
1272
01:11:47,261 --> 01:11:49,377
No. This is the first time I've been east.
1273
01:11:49,388 --> 01:11:51,754
No, you're right. I know that's not it.
1274
01:11:51,766 --> 01:11:55,509
In my game, to be a shark at it, you teach
yourself never to forget a name or a face.
1275
01:11:56,729 --> 01:11:59,516
But still, I know damn well there's...
1276
01:11:59,524 --> 01:12:01,640
Something I recognize about you.
1277
01:12:03,361 --> 01:12:05,818
We're members of the same lodge,
1278
01:12:05,822 --> 01:12:07,483
in some way.
1279
01:12:07,490 --> 01:12:09,651
What are you talking about?
1280
01:12:11,494 --> 01:12:12,904
You're nuts.
1281
01:12:12,912 --> 01:12:15,779
Don't kid me, little boy.
I'm a good salesman.
1282
01:12:15,790 --> 01:12:18,657
So damn good, the firm was glad
to take me back after every drunk.
1283
01:12:18,668 --> 01:12:21,626
And what made me good was,
I could size up anyone.
1284
01:12:23,798 --> 01:12:25,413
But still, I don't...
1285
01:12:27,635 --> 01:12:30,968
Well, never mind. I can tell
you're having trouble with yourself.
1286
01:12:30,972 --> 01:12:33,805
And I'll be glad to do anything I can
to help a friend of Larry's.
1287
01:12:33,808 --> 01:12:36,891
Mind your own business, hickey.
He's nothing to you.
1288
01:12:36,894 --> 01:12:38,930
Or to me.
1289
01:12:40,356 --> 01:12:43,098
You're keeping us all in suspense.
1290
01:12:43,109 --> 01:12:45,896
Tell us more
about how you're going to save us.
1291
01:12:46,904 --> 01:12:49,566
Well, hell, don't get sore, Larry.
1292
01:12:49,574 --> 01:12:52,691
We're old pals. I've always
liked you a lot. You know that.
1293
01:12:55,413 --> 01:12:57,028
Forget it, hickey.
1294
01:12:57,790 --> 01:12:59,872
Fine, fine.
1295
01:12:59,876 --> 01:13:01,457
That's the spirit.
1296
01:13:05,965 --> 01:13:08,923
What's the matter, everybody?
Come on. Drink up. A little action.
1297
01:13:13,264 --> 01:13:16,222
Have another. Hell, this is a celebration.
1298
01:13:18,019 --> 01:13:20,852
Oh, forget it if anything I said
sounded too serious.
1299
01:13:20,855 --> 01:13:24,018
You think I'm talking out of turn,
just tell me to go chase myself.
1300
01:13:25,735 --> 01:13:28,772
No, boys and girls, I'm not trying
to put anything over on you.
1301
01:13:29,906 --> 01:13:32,488
It's just that I know now,
from experience,
1302
01:13:32,491 --> 01:13:35,278
what a lying pipe dream can do to you
1303
01:13:35,286 --> 01:13:37,948
and how damned relieved
and contented with yourself you'll feel
1304
01:13:37,955 --> 01:13:39,695
when you're rid of it.
1305
01:13:43,294 --> 01:13:44,500
God.
1306
01:13:46,297 --> 01:13:47,912
Sleepy all of a sudden.
1307
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,041
That long walk must be getting to me.
1308
01:13:53,554 --> 01:13:55,340
I better go upstairs.
1309
01:14:02,021 --> 01:14:04,728
Hell of a trick
to go dead on you like this.
1310
01:14:07,443 --> 01:14:09,525
But no, boys and girls, I've...
1311
01:14:12,365 --> 01:14:15,072
Never known what real peace was until now.
1312
01:14:17,453 --> 01:14:19,193
It's a grand feeling.
1313
01:14:22,041 --> 01:14:24,407
Like when you're sick
and suffering like hell...
1314
01:14:25,836 --> 01:14:28,418
And the doc gives you a shot in the arm.
1315
01:14:31,258 --> 01:14:32,748
The pain goes...
1316
01:14:34,929 --> 01:14:36,260
And you drift off.
1317
01:14:39,100 --> 01:14:41,261
You can let yourself go at last.
1318
01:14:43,729 --> 01:14:46,937
You sink down to the bottom of the sea.
1319
01:14:49,735 --> 01:14:51,271
Rest in peace.
1320
01:14:55,908 --> 01:14:58,194
There's no further you have to go.
1321
01:15:01,038 --> 01:15:02,403
Not one single...
1322
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,332
Hope or dream left to nag you.
1323
01:15:12,008 --> 01:15:14,090
But you'll all know
what I mean when you...
1324
01:15:18,514 --> 01:15:21,972
Excuse me. I'll just... forty winks and...
1325
01:15:24,478 --> 01:15:25,809
Drink up, everybody.
1326
01:15:28,065 --> 01:15:29,475
On me.
1327
01:15:32,653 --> 01:15:34,860
Don't let me be a wet blanket.
1328
01:15:35,990 --> 01:15:38,447
All I want is to see you happy.
1329
01:16:25,456 --> 01:16:27,492
Well, how's that, kid?
1330
01:16:27,500 --> 01:16:29,957
What the hell do I know about flowers?
1331
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:32,542
You can see they're pretty, can't you?
You big dummy.
1332
01:16:32,546 --> 01:16:35,504
Well, yeah, baby, sure. If you like 'em,
they're all right with me.
1333
01:16:38,344 --> 01:16:40,676
Oh, jeez, Pearl.
1334
01:16:40,679 --> 01:16:42,670
Look at that cake, huh? Come here. Look.
1335
01:16:42,681 --> 01:16:45,172
Six candles, each for ten years.
1336
01:16:45,184 --> 01:16:47,596
Aw, when do we light the candles, rocky?
1337
01:16:47,603 --> 01:16:49,685
Oh, ask that bughouse hickey.
1338
01:16:49,688 --> 01:16:52,020
"Just before Harry comes down," he says.
1339
01:16:52,024 --> 01:16:54,982
"Then Harry blows 'em out
with one breath, for luck."
1340
01:16:56,529 --> 01:16:58,770
Hickey was gonna have 60 candles,
1341
01:16:58,781 --> 01:17:03,275
but I says, "if the old guy took
that big a breath, he'd croak himself."
1342
01:17:03,285 --> 01:17:07,278
- Anyways, it's a nice cake, ain't it?
- Sure, it's all right by me.
1343
01:17:07,289 --> 01:17:09,450
But what is Harry gonna do with a cake?
1344
01:17:09,458 --> 01:17:11,870
If he ever ate a hunk, it'd croak him.
1345
01:17:13,087 --> 01:17:16,375
- Jeez, you're a dope. Ain't he, Margie?
- Yeah.
1346
01:17:16,382 --> 01:17:18,964
- Dope is right.
- You broads better watch your step, or...
1347
01:17:18,968 --> 01:17:21,300
- Or what?
- Yeah! What? What?
1348
01:17:21,303 --> 01:17:23,544
Say, what the hell's got into youse?
1349
01:17:23,556 --> 01:17:26,548
It'll be 12 o'clock
and Harry's birthday before long.
1350
01:17:26,559 --> 01:17:28,550
I ain't lookin' for no trouble.
1351
01:17:28,561 --> 01:17:30,643
Aw, we ain't neither, rocky.
1352
01:17:33,482 --> 01:17:37,475
A guy what can't see flowers is pretty
must be some dumbbell.
1353
01:17:37,486 --> 01:17:39,477
Yeah, well, if I was as dumb as you...
1354
01:17:40,781 --> 01:17:43,363
Jeez, you got your scrappin' pants on,
ain't ya?
1355
01:17:44,618 --> 01:17:46,609
Well, hell, baby. What's eatin' you?
1356
01:17:46,620 --> 01:17:48,611
What could Harry do with flowers?
1357
01:17:48,622 --> 01:17:50,613
He don't know a cauliflower
from a geranium.
1358
01:17:50,624 --> 01:17:52,239
Jeez.
1359
01:17:52,251 --> 01:17:55,209
Ever since hickey's woke up,
you can't hold him.
1360
01:17:55,212 --> 01:17:58,079
He's taking on the party
like it was his birthday.
1361
01:17:58,090 --> 01:18:00,081
Well, he's paying for everything,
ain't he?
1362
01:18:00,092 --> 01:18:02,925
Oh, I don't mind
the birthday stuff so much.
1363
01:18:02,928 --> 01:18:06,341
What gets my goat is the way
he's buttin' in all over the place,
1364
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:08,555
telling everybody where to get off.
1365
01:18:08,559 --> 01:18:10,891
- He just keeps hintin' around.
- Yeah.
1366
01:18:10,895 --> 01:18:13,887
- He was hintin' to me and Margie.
- Yeah, the lousy drummer.
1367
01:18:13,898 --> 01:18:16,890
He just gives you an earful
of that line of bull
1368
01:18:16,901 --> 01:18:20,519
about you gotta be honest with yourself
and not kid yourself,
1369
01:18:20,529 --> 01:18:22,986
and you gotta have the guts
to be what you are.
1370
01:18:22,990 --> 01:18:26,107
I told him, that's all right
for the bums in this dump,
1371
01:18:26,118 --> 01:18:27,949
but it don't go with me, see.
1372
01:18:27,953 --> 01:18:30,945
I don't kid myself with no pipe dreams.
1373
01:18:32,291 --> 01:18:34,498
- What are you grinnin' at?
- Nothin'.
1374
01:18:34,501 --> 01:18:37,117
- Nothin'.
- It better be nothin'.
1375
01:18:37,129 --> 01:18:40,963
And don't let hickey put no ideas
in your nuts if you wanna stay healthy.
1376
01:18:42,384 --> 01:18:45,171
He's ridin' someone every minute.
1377
01:18:45,179 --> 01:18:48,091
He's got Harry and Jimmy tomorrow
run ragged,
1378
01:18:48,098 --> 01:18:52,592
and the rest are hidin' in their rooms
so they won't have to listen to him.
1379
01:18:52,603 --> 01:18:55,094
They're all acting cagey
with the booze too,
1380
01:18:55,105 --> 01:18:59,144
like they was scared if they get too drunk
they might spill their guts.
1381
01:18:59,151 --> 01:19:02,018
And everybody's getting a prize grouch on.
1382
01:19:02,029 --> 01:19:03,565
Yeah.
1383
01:19:03,572 --> 01:19:05,938
He's been hintin' around
to me and Chuck too.
1384
01:19:05,950 --> 01:19:09,943
You'd think he suspected me and Chuck
had no real intention of gettin' married.
1385
01:19:09,954 --> 01:19:12,946
You'd think he suspected Chuck
wasn't gonna lay off of periodicals,
1386
01:19:12,957 --> 01:19:14,538
or maybe didn't even want to.
1387
01:19:14,541 --> 01:19:17,749
I told him, I'm on the wagon for keeps,
and Cora knows it.
1388
01:19:17,753 --> 01:19:19,960
And I told him, sure, I know it.
1389
01:19:19,964 --> 01:19:23,548
And Chuck ain't never gonna throw it
in my face I was a tart neither.
1390
01:19:23,550 --> 01:19:26,792
And if you think we're just
kiddin' ourselves, we'll show ya.
1391
01:19:26,804 --> 01:19:28,715
We're gettin' married tomorrow.
1392
01:19:28,722 --> 01:19:30,258
- Ain't we, honey?
- You bet, baby.
1393
01:19:30,266 --> 01:19:31,756
Christ, Chuck!
1394
01:19:31,767 --> 01:19:34,349
Are you lettin' that bughouse louse hickey
kid you into marryin'...
1395
01:19:34,353 --> 01:19:36,719
Nobody's kiddin' him into it.
Nor me neither.
1396
01:19:36,730 --> 01:19:38,686
Hickey's right.
1397
01:19:38,691 --> 01:19:40,181
If this tramp's gonna marry me,
1398
01:19:40,192 --> 01:19:42,399
he oughta do it and not just
shoot off his bazoo about it.
1399
01:19:42,403 --> 01:19:43,984
You can't be that dumb, Chuck.
1400
01:19:43,988 --> 01:19:46,274
You keep out of this. You hear?
1401
01:19:46,282 --> 01:19:50,321
And don't start beefin' about the crickets
on the farm driving us nuts.
1402
01:19:50,327 --> 01:19:52,784
Christ, you'd think they was elephants!
1403
01:19:52,788 --> 01:19:55,245
Ah, rocky, don't notice that broad.
1404
01:19:55,249 --> 01:19:57,991
You heard what she said, right?
Tomorrow. Tomorrow.
1405
01:19:58,002 --> 01:19:59,867
The same old crap.
1406
01:19:59,878 --> 01:20:01,709
- Is that so?
- Mmm.
1407
01:20:01,714 --> 01:20:04,421
Imagine Cora a bride. That's the hot one.
1408
01:20:04,425 --> 01:20:07,883
Jeez, Cora, if all the guys
you've stayed with was side by side,
1409
01:20:07,886 --> 01:20:10,002
you could walk on 'em from here to Texas.
1410
01:20:10,014 --> 01:20:13,097
You can't talk to me like that,
you skinny dago hooker.
1411
01:20:13,100 --> 01:20:16,308
I may be a tart,
but I ain't a cheap old whore like you!
1412
01:20:16,312 --> 01:20:18,303
I'll show ya who's a whore!
1413
01:20:18,314 --> 01:20:20,555
- Get her, Pearl! Get her! Get her!
- Dago whore!
1414
01:20:20,566 --> 01:20:22,852
Let me go!
1415
01:20:22,860 --> 01:20:24,896
All right, cool off.
1416
01:20:24,903 --> 01:20:27,269
Aw, bury it! What are you, a virgin?
1417
01:20:27,281 --> 01:20:29,272
You mean you think I'm a whore too.
1418
01:20:29,283 --> 01:20:31,899
- Yeah! And me too?
- Now, don't start nothin'.
1419
01:20:31,910 --> 01:20:35,698
I suppose it'd tickle you if me and Margie
did what that hickey was hintin'
1420
01:20:35,706 --> 01:20:37,697
and come right out
and admit we was whores!
1421
01:20:37,708 --> 01:20:40,324
All right, what of it?
It's the truth, ain't it?
1422
01:20:40,336 --> 01:20:42,201
Jeez, rocky.
1423
01:20:42,212 --> 01:20:43,952
That's a fine thing to say to two girls
1424
01:20:43,964 --> 01:20:45,920
who's been as good to you
as Pearl and Margie.
1425
01:20:47,509 --> 01:20:50,546
Oh... oh, look, I didn't mean
to call you that, Pearl.
1426
01:20:51,388 --> 01:20:53,629
No hard feelings, Cora.
1427
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,848
There. That fixes everything, don't it?
1428
01:20:56,852 --> 01:20:59,844
Okay, rocky. We're whores.
1429
01:20:59,855 --> 01:21:02,722
- You know what that makes you, don't ya?
- Look out, now.
1430
01:21:02,733 --> 01:21:04,348
A lousy little pimp, that's what.
1431
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:06,396
- I'll learn you!
- You dirty little Guinea!
1432
01:21:06,403 --> 01:21:08,815
- And that'll learn you!
- Bastard.
1433
01:21:08,822 --> 01:21:11,564
Yeah, he's proving it to us, Pearl.
1434
01:21:11,575 --> 01:21:13,031
Sure.
1435
01:21:13,035 --> 01:21:15,902
Hickey's converted him.
He's give up his pipe dream.
1436
01:21:15,913 --> 01:21:18,325
- Lay off of me, or I'll...
- Oh, lay off them!
1437
01:21:18,332 --> 01:21:20,493
Harry's party ain't no time
to beat up your stable.
1438
01:21:20,501 --> 01:21:23,208
Whose stable?
Who do you think you're talkin' to?
1439
01:21:23,212 --> 01:21:25,794
I ain't never beat 'em up.
What do you think I am?
1440
01:21:25,798 --> 01:21:29,791
I just give 'em a slap like any guy
would his wife if she got too Gabby.
1441
01:21:29,802 --> 01:21:33,420
I'm not lookin' for no trouble
on Harry's birthday party!
1442
01:21:33,430 --> 01:21:36,718
You lousy little Guinea!
1443
01:21:36,725 --> 01:21:40,559
I'll lay off ya until the party's over
if Pearl will.
1444
01:21:40,562 --> 01:21:42,018
Sure, I will.
1445
01:21:42,022 --> 01:21:44,013
For Harry's sake, not yours,
you little wop!
1446
01:21:44,024 --> 01:21:47,016
Hey, listen, youse. Don't get no wrong...
1447
01:21:47,027 --> 01:21:50,690
What the hell are you laughin' at,
you half-dead old stew bum?
1448
01:21:50,697 --> 01:21:53,109
At himself, he oughta be.
1449
01:21:53,117 --> 01:21:55,529
Jeez, hickey sure got his number.
1450
01:21:56,662 --> 01:21:58,653
Wake up, comrade.
1451
01:21:58,664 --> 01:22:00,450
There's a revolution
starting all around you,
1452
01:22:00,457 --> 01:22:02,448
and you're sleeping through it.
1453
01:22:02,459 --> 01:22:05,451
B'god, it's not to bakunin's ghost
you ought to be praying in your dreams,
1454
01:22:05,462 --> 01:22:07,623
but the great nihilist hickey!
1455
01:22:07,631 --> 01:22:09,838
He's started a movement
that'll blow up the world.
1456
01:22:11,802 --> 01:22:14,544
You, Larry. Renegade. Traitor!
1457
01:22:14,555 --> 01:22:16,011
I'll have you shot!
1458
01:22:17,224 --> 01:22:19,465
Don't be a fool. Buy me a drink.
1459
01:22:22,980 --> 01:22:24,186
Mmm!
1460
01:22:26,483 --> 01:22:27,893
Mmm!
1461
01:22:27,901 --> 01:22:30,142
Bourgeois swine! Hickey!
1462
01:22:32,823 --> 01:22:34,438
He laughs like good fellow.
1463
01:22:35,659 --> 01:22:37,115
He makes jokes.
1464
01:22:38,912 --> 01:22:40,948
He dares to hint to me...
1465
01:22:41,999 --> 01:22:44,411
So I see what he dares to think.
1466
01:22:46,295 --> 01:22:50,379
He thinks I am finish, it is too late,
1467
01:22:50,382 --> 01:22:53,294
so I do not wish the day to come,
1468
01:22:53,302 --> 01:22:55,384
because it will not be my day!
1469
01:22:55,387 --> 01:22:57,002
Huh?
1470
01:22:57,014 --> 01:22:58,970
I see what he thinks.
1471
01:23:01,185 --> 01:23:02,641
He thinks lies.
1472
01:23:02,644 --> 01:23:05,306
Even worse, that I...
1473
01:23:09,234 --> 01:23:12,647
I'll have him hanged the first one of all,
to the first lamppost!
1474
01:23:17,367 --> 01:23:21,201
Why you so serious,
you little monkey faces?
1475
01:23:21,205 --> 01:23:24,197
It's all great joke, no?
1476
01:23:24,208 --> 01:23:27,621
So we get drunk and we laugh like hell,
1477
01:23:28,337 --> 01:23:30,293
and then we die,
1478
01:23:30,297 --> 01:23:32,253
and the pipe dream vanish.
1479
01:23:34,468 --> 01:23:37,585
So be of good cheer,
little stupid peoples.
1480
01:23:37,596 --> 01:23:41,214
"The days grow hot, o Babylon!"
1481
01:23:41,225 --> 01:23:43,261
Soon, little proletarians,
1482
01:23:43,268 --> 01:23:46,351
we will have free picnic
in the cool shade,
1483
01:23:46,355 --> 01:23:48,346
and we will eat hot dogs
1484
01:23:48,357 --> 01:23:51,565
and drink free wine
beneath the Willow trees.
1485
01:23:51,568 --> 01:23:53,775
Like hogs! Yes?
1486
01:23:53,779 --> 01:23:56,236
Like beautiful little hogs!
1487
01:24:02,246 --> 01:24:04,407
Goddamn liar, hickey.
1488
01:24:06,375 --> 01:24:09,208
It's he who makes me sheer.
1489
01:24:09,211 --> 01:24:11,543
I want to sleep.
1490
01:24:16,510 --> 01:24:18,967
Hickey ain't overlookin' no bets.
1491
01:24:18,971 --> 01:24:20,962
It's only the old wise guy Larry
1492
01:24:20,973 --> 01:24:24,340
who's still pretending he's the one
exception who don't do no pipe dreamin'.
1493
01:24:24,351 --> 01:24:25,887
I...
1494
01:24:26,687 --> 01:24:27,847
All right.
1495
01:24:29,648 --> 01:24:32,606
Take it out on me
if it makes you more content.
1496
01:24:33,944 --> 01:24:36,105
Sure, I love every hair of your heads,
1497
01:24:36,113 --> 01:24:39,025
my great, big, beautiful baby dolls,
1498
01:24:39,032 --> 01:24:41,023
and there's nothing I wouldn't do for you.
1499
01:24:41,034 --> 01:24:43,366
The old Irish bunk, huh?
1500
01:24:43,370 --> 01:24:46,737
We ain't big,
and we ain't your baby dolls.
1501
01:24:46,748 --> 01:24:48,079
But we admit we're beautiful.
1502
01:24:48,083 --> 01:24:49,994
- Huh, Margie?
- Yeah, sure thing.
1503
01:24:50,002 --> 01:24:54,336
But what would he do with beautiful dolls,
even if he had the price, the old goat?
1504
01:24:54,339 --> 01:24:55,920
Eh.
1505
01:24:55,924 --> 01:24:59,041
Larry, you're okay,
even though you are full of bull.
1506
01:24:59,052 --> 01:25:00,963
Sure. You're aces with us.
1507
01:25:00,971 --> 01:25:02,552
We're nervous, that's all.
1508
01:25:02,556 --> 01:25:05,764
It's hickey, that lousy drummer.
Why can't he be like he's always been?
1509
01:25:05,767 --> 01:25:08,179
I ain't never seen a guy change so.
1510
01:25:08,186 --> 01:25:11,849
- What do you think happened to him, Larry?
- I don't know.
1511
01:25:11,857 --> 01:25:15,770
With all his gab,
I notice he's kept that to himself so far.
1512
01:25:16,903 --> 01:25:20,395
Maybe he's saving the great revelation
for Harry's party.
1513
01:25:21,992 --> 01:25:24,028
Let him mind his own business,
and I'll mind mine.
1514
01:25:24,036 --> 01:25:25,276
Yeah, that's what I say.
1515
01:25:25,287 --> 01:25:28,779
Say, Larry, where's that young friend
of yours disappeared to?
1516
01:25:28,790 --> 01:25:32,203
I don't care where he is, except I wish
he was a thousand miles away.
1517
01:25:35,297 --> 01:25:37,037
He's a pest.
1518
01:25:37,049 --> 01:25:42,339
I told him, I'll take a lot from you,
hickey, like everyone else in this dump,
1519
01:25:42,346 --> 01:25:44,507
'cause you always been a grand guy.
1520
01:25:44,514 --> 01:25:47,506
But there's things I don't take
from you nor nobody, see.
1521
01:25:47,517 --> 01:25:50,634
Remember that,
or you'll wake up in a hospital,
1522
01:25:50,646 --> 01:25:52,227
or maybe worse,
1523
01:25:52,230 --> 01:25:55,313
with your wife and the iceman
walkin' slow behind you.
1524
01:25:55,317 --> 01:25:58,229
Oh, you oughtn't to make
that iceman crack, rocky.
1525
01:25:58,236 --> 01:26:01,478
I notice he ain't pulled
that old gag this time.
1526
01:26:01,490 --> 01:26:04,732
Do you suppose he did
catch his wife cheatin', huh?
1527
01:26:04,743 --> 01:26:06,825
Oh, that's the bunk.
1528
01:26:06,828 --> 01:26:10,946
He ain't pulled that gag or showed
her photo around because he ain't drunk.
1529
01:26:10,957 --> 01:26:13,573
And if he's caught her cheating
he'd be drunk, wouldn't he?
1530
01:26:13,585 --> 01:26:16,952
He'd have beat her up and then gone
on the worst drunk he'd ever staged.
1531
01:26:16,963 --> 01:26:18,999
Sure. Rocky's got the right dope, baby.
1532
01:26:26,431 --> 01:26:30,970
I's stood tellin' people this dump
is closed for the night all I'm gonna.
1533
01:26:30,977 --> 01:26:33,969
Let Harry hire a doorman,
pay him wages, if he wants one.
1534
01:26:33,980 --> 01:26:37,063
Yeah? Harry's pretty damn good to ya.
1535
01:26:37,067 --> 01:26:39,353
Sure, he is. I don't mean that.
1536
01:26:40,195 --> 01:26:41,935
Anyways, it's all right.
1537
01:26:41,947 --> 01:26:45,360
I told Schwartz the cop
we closed for the party.
1538
01:26:45,367 --> 01:26:46,982
He'll keep folks away.
1539
01:26:47,994 --> 01:26:50,736
I wants me a big drink, that's what.
1540
01:26:50,747 --> 01:26:53,705
Who's stoppin' ya?
You can have all you want on hickey.
1541
01:26:55,669 --> 01:26:59,833
All right, I earned all the drinks on him
I could drink in a year
1542
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:02,297
for listening to his crazy bull.
1543
01:27:02,300 --> 01:27:04,712
Here's hopin' he gets the lockjaw.
1544
01:27:06,972 --> 01:27:09,338
I drinks on him,
but I don't drink with him.
1545
01:27:09,349 --> 01:27:11,385
No, sir. Never no more.
1546
01:27:11,393 --> 01:27:15,477
Aw, bull. Hickey's all right.
What's he done to you?
1547
01:27:15,480 --> 01:27:17,846
That's my business.
1548
01:27:17,858 --> 01:27:20,224
Sure, you think he's all right.
1549
01:27:20,235 --> 01:27:22,226
He's a white man, ain't he?
1550
01:27:22,237 --> 01:27:25,070
Now, listen to me, you white boys!
1551
01:27:25,073 --> 01:27:28,190
Don't you get it in your head
that I's pretendin' to be what I ain't,
1552
01:27:28,201 --> 01:27:30,192
or that I ain't proud to be what I am.
1553
01:27:30,203 --> 01:27:32,034
You gettin' me?
1554
01:27:36,626 --> 01:27:38,787
Or you and me's gonna have trouble.
1555
01:27:42,507 --> 01:27:44,122
The nerve.
1556
01:27:44,134 --> 01:27:47,376
Just because she acts nice to him,
he gets a swelled nut.
1557
01:27:47,387 --> 01:27:49,378
If that ain't like a coon all over.
1558
01:27:49,389 --> 01:27:52,756
He talkin' fight talk, huh?
I'll murder the nigger.
1559
01:27:52,768 --> 01:27:56,511
Li-listen, boys. I... i-I'm sorry.
1560
01:27:56,521 --> 01:27:59,888
You been good friends to me.
1561
01:27:59,900 --> 01:28:02,186
It's that hickey.
1562
01:28:02,194 --> 01:28:05,186
He gets my head
all mixed up with craziness.
1563
01:28:05,197 --> 01:28:06,983
Aw, that's all right, Joe.
1564
01:28:06,990 --> 01:28:10,153
The boys wasn't taking you serious.
1565
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:13,652
Jeez, what'd I say,
hickey ain't overlookin' no bets?
1566
01:28:13,663 --> 01:28:16,200
And you gotta admit
he's got the right dope.
1567
01:28:16,208 --> 01:28:18,324
I mean, on some of the bums here.
1568
01:28:18,335 --> 01:28:20,997
He's certainly got one guy I know
sized up right.
1569
01:28:21,004 --> 01:28:22,869
- Ain't he, Pearl?
- Certainly has.
1570
01:28:22,881 --> 01:28:24,667
Cut it out, I told ya!
1571
01:28:24,674 --> 01:28:26,665
It's nothing to me, what happened to him.
1572
01:28:28,053 --> 01:28:30,886
But I have a feeling
he's dying to tell us inside him,
1573
01:28:30,889 --> 01:28:32,470
and yet he's afraid.
1574
01:28:32,474 --> 01:28:34,214
Like that damn kid.
1575
01:28:35,852 --> 01:28:39,344
Strange, the queer way
he seemed to recognize him.
1576
01:28:39,356 --> 01:28:41,972
If he's afraid,
that explains why he's off booze.
1577
01:28:41,983 --> 01:28:44,725
Afraid if he got drunk he might tell us...
1578
01:28:44,736 --> 01:28:47,648
Well, well, well!
Here I am in the Nick of timel
1579
01:28:47,656 --> 01:28:50,864
well, come on. Somebody give me a hand
with these packages.
1580
01:28:50,867 --> 01:28:54,451
Jeez, hickey,
you scared me out of a year's growth,
1581
01:28:54,454 --> 01:28:55,864
sneaking in like that.
1582
01:28:55,872 --> 01:28:57,453
Sneakin'?
1583
01:28:57,457 --> 01:29:00,164
You were all so busy drinking in words
of wisdom from old wise guy here
1584
01:29:00,168 --> 01:29:02,284
you couldn't hear anything else.
1585
01:29:02,295 --> 01:29:06,538
And from what I heard, you're not so good
when you start playing Sherlock Holmes.
1586
01:29:06,550 --> 01:29:10,293
You've got me all wrong.
I'm not afraid of anything now.
1587
01:29:10,303 --> 01:29:12,294
Not even myself.
1588
01:29:12,305 --> 01:29:14,546
You'd better stick to the part
of old cemetery,
1589
01:29:14,558 --> 01:29:16,219
the barker for the big sleep.
1590
01:29:16,226 --> 01:29:18,558
That is, if you can still let yourself
get away with it.
1591
01:29:18,562 --> 01:29:22,146
Old cemetery! That's him, hickey.
We'll have to call him that.
1592
01:29:22,148 --> 01:29:25,561
You're getting to do a lot of puzzling
about me. Aren't you, Larry?
1593
01:29:25,569 --> 01:29:27,525
But that won't help you.
1594
01:29:27,529 --> 01:29:29,611
You've gotta think of yourself.
1595
01:29:29,614 --> 01:29:31,821
I couldn't give you my peace.
1596
01:29:31,825 --> 01:29:34,157
You've gotta find your own.
1597
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,242
All it can do is to help you,
and the rest of the gang,
1598
01:29:36,246 --> 01:29:38,111
by showing you the way to find it.
1599
01:29:38,123 --> 01:29:40,910
Oh, hire a church.
1600
01:29:40,917 --> 01:29:42,999
All right, boys and girls. Don't get sore.
1601
01:29:43,003 --> 01:29:45,244
I guess that did sound too much
like a lousy preacher.
1602
01:29:45,255 --> 01:29:47,416
Well, let's forget it
and get on with the party.
1603
01:29:47,424 --> 01:29:50,006
Is those bundles grub? You brought
enough already to feed an army.
1604
01:29:50,010 --> 01:29:52,296
I want this to be the biggest birthday
Harry's ever had.
1605
01:29:52,304 --> 01:29:54,966
You and rocky go out in the hall
and bring in the big surprise.
1606
01:29:54,973 --> 01:29:57,134
My arms are busted lugging it.
1607
01:29:57,142 --> 01:29:59,758
- You got us het up! What is it, hickey?
- Just wait and see.
1608
01:29:59,769 --> 01:30:00,884
I thought to myself,
1609
01:30:00,896 --> 01:30:03,512
I'll bet this is what would please
those whores more than anything.
1610
01:30:03,523 --> 01:30:06,060
Then I said, I don't care how much
money it costs. They're worth it.
1611
01:30:06,067 --> 01:30:08,058
They're the best little scouts
in the world,
1612
01:30:08,069 --> 01:30:10,606
and they've always been damn kind to me
when I was down and out.
1613
01:30:10,614 --> 01:30:12,605
And I meant every word of that.
1614
01:30:12,616 --> 01:30:14,607
- Well, what's the matter?
- Mmm.
1615
01:30:14,618 --> 01:30:16,609
What... oh, I see.
1616
01:30:16,620 --> 01:30:19,157
I didn't say that to offend you,
so don't be silly.
1617
01:30:19,164 --> 01:30:21,684
- All right, all right. Let it slide.
- Oh, look! Here it comes!
1618
01:30:22,626 --> 01:30:25,868
Hickey, what'd you get him?
1619
01:30:25,879 --> 01:30:27,915
Unveil it, boys!
1620
01:30:29,674 --> 01:30:31,164
- Oh!
- It's champagne!
1621
01:30:31,176 --> 01:30:33,417
Oh, jeez, hickey, if you ain't a sport!
1622
01:30:33,428 --> 01:30:36,420
I never been soused on champagne!
Let's get stinko!
1623
01:30:36,431 --> 01:30:38,717
You betcha my life! All of us!
1624
01:30:38,725 --> 01:30:41,512
You sure is
hittin' the high spots, hickey.
1625
01:30:41,519 --> 01:30:43,510
When I runs my gambling house,
1626
01:30:43,521 --> 01:30:46,604
I drink that old bubbly water in steins.
1627
01:30:46,608 --> 01:30:50,317
I'm gonna drink that way again too,
soon as I make my stake.
1628
01:30:52,155 --> 01:30:55,022
And that ain't no pipe dream neither.
1629
01:30:55,033 --> 01:30:58,196
What do we drink it out of, hickey?
There ain't no wine glasses.
1630
01:30:58,203 --> 01:31:00,410
Joe's got the right idea. Steins.
1631
01:31:00,413 --> 01:31:02,369
That's the spirit for Harry's party.
1632
01:31:02,374 --> 01:31:05,616
We will drink wine
beneath the Willow trees!
1633
01:31:06,711 --> 01:31:08,121
That's the spirit, brother.
1634
01:31:08,129 --> 01:31:10,541
And let the lousy slaves drink vinegar.
1635
01:31:12,342 --> 01:31:14,298
Goddamn liar.
1636
01:31:15,553 --> 01:31:17,339
Leave Hugo be.
1637
01:31:18,598 --> 01:31:20,884
He rotted ten years in prison
for his faith.
1638
01:31:20,892 --> 01:31:22,598
He earned his dream.
1639
01:31:22,602 --> 01:31:24,718
Have you no decency or pity?
1640
01:31:25,438 --> 01:31:27,019
Hello. What's this?
1641
01:31:28,191 --> 01:31:30,147
I thought you were in the grandstand.
1642
01:31:31,486 --> 01:31:33,477
Listen, Larry,
you're gettin' me all wrong.
1643
01:31:33,488 --> 01:31:35,479
You oughta know me better.
1644
01:31:35,490 --> 01:31:38,106
Of course I have pity,
but now that I've seen the light,
1645
01:31:38,118 --> 01:31:40,609
it's not my old kind of pity,
the kind yours is,
1646
01:31:40,620 --> 01:31:43,407
the kind that lets itself off easy
by encouraging some poor guy
1647
01:31:43,415 --> 01:31:45,531
to go on kidding himself with a lie,
1648
01:31:45,542 --> 01:31:47,203
the kind that leaves the poor slob
worse off
1649
01:31:47,210 --> 01:31:49,622
because he feels guiltier than ever,
1650
01:31:49,629 --> 01:31:52,120
the kind that makes
his lying hopes nag at him
1651
01:31:52,132 --> 01:31:55,420
and reproach him
until he's a rotten skunk in his own eyes.
1652
01:31:55,427 --> 01:31:58,169
No, sir, the kind of pity I feel now
1653
01:31:58,179 --> 01:32:01,216
is after final results
that'll really save the poor guy,
1654
01:32:01,224 --> 01:32:03,715
make him contented with what he is
and quit battling himself
1655
01:32:03,727 --> 01:32:05,592
so he can find peace
for the rest of his life.
1656
01:32:07,522 --> 01:32:10,559
Oh, I know you resent the way
I have to show you up to yourself,
1657
01:32:10,567 --> 01:32:14,685
but you'll be grateful to me when you're
able to admit, without feeling ashamed,
1658
01:32:14,696 --> 01:32:16,527
that all the grandstand philosopher bunk
1659
01:32:16,531 --> 01:32:19,944
and the waiting for the big sleep stuff
is a pipe dream.
1660
01:32:19,951 --> 01:32:22,158
You'll be able to say to yourself,
1661
01:32:22,162 --> 01:32:25,575
I'm just an old man who's scared of life,
1662
01:32:25,582 --> 01:32:28,039
but even more scared of dying.
1663
01:32:28,043 --> 01:32:31,706
So I'm keepin' drunk and hangin' on
to life at any price, and what of it?
1664
01:32:31,713 --> 01:32:37,003
B'god, if I'm not beginning
to think you've gone mad.
1665
01:32:38,261 --> 01:32:39,751
You're a liar.
1666
01:32:39,763 --> 01:32:43,472
That's no way to talk to an old pal
who's trying to help you.
1667
01:32:43,475 --> 01:32:47,059
Hell, if you really wanted to die,
you'd just take a hop off the fire escape.
1668
01:32:47,062 --> 01:32:50,022
And if you really were in the grandstand,
you wouldn't be pitying everyone.
1669
01:32:52,567 --> 01:32:56,606
As for my bein' bughouse,
well, you can't crawl out of it that way.
1670
01:32:56,613 --> 01:32:58,274
I'm too damn sane.
1671
01:32:58,281 --> 01:33:01,273
I can size up guys and turn 'em inside out
better than I ever could,
1672
01:33:01,284 --> 01:33:03,445
even when they're strangers,
like that parritt kid.
1673
01:33:04,746 --> 01:33:06,987
He's licked, Larry.
1674
01:33:06,998 --> 01:33:10,365
I think there's only one possible way out
you can help him take.
1675
01:33:10,376 --> 01:33:12,708
That is, if you have
the right kind of pity for him.
1676
01:33:13,797 --> 01:33:15,378
What do you mean?
1677
01:33:16,591 --> 01:33:20,960
I'm not advising him,
except to leave me out of his troubles.
1678
01:33:20,970 --> 01:33:24,383
- He's nothing to me.
- You'll find he won't agree to that.
1679
01:33:24,390 --> 01:33:27,006
He'll keep after you
until he makes you help him,
1680
01:33:27,018 --> 01:33:29,976
because he's gotta be punished
so he can forgive himself.
1681
01:33:31,147 --> 01:33:33,058
He hasn't got the guts.
1682
01:33:33,066 --> 01:33:34,772
He can't manage it alone.
1683
01:33:34,776 --> 01:33:36,812
And you're the only one he can turn to.
1684
01:33:36,820 --> 01:33:39,778
For the love of god,
mind your own business.
1685
01:33:41,282 --> 01:33:43,273
A lot you know about him.
1686
01:33:43,284 --> 01:33:44,865
He's hardly spoken to you.
1687
01:33:44,869 --> 01:33:48,077
No, that's right, but I do know
a lot about him just the same.
1688
01:33:48,081 --> 01:33:51,198
I've had hell inside of me,
and I can spot it in others.
1689
01:33:53,044 --> 01:33:56,707
Maybe that's what gives me the feeling
there's something familiar about him,
1690
01:33:56,714 --> 01:33:58,329
something between us.
1691
01:33:59,092 --> 01:34:01,128
No, it's more than that.
1692
01:34:01,136 --> 01:34:04,128
Tell me about him. For example,
I don't imagine he's married, is he?
1693
01:34:04,139 --> 01:34:06,801
- No.
- Hasn't been mixed up with someone?
1694
01:34:06,808 --> 01:34:08,764
Oh, I don't mean trollops.
1695
01:34:08,768 --> 01:34:12,135
I mean the old "real love" stuff
that crucifies you.
1696
01:34:13,314 --> 01:34:15,475
Maybe you're right.
1697
01:34:15,483 --> 01:34:17,394
I wouldn't be surprised.
1698
01:34:18,486 --> 01:34:20,272
I see.
1699
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:23,067
You think I'm on the wrong track,
and you're glad I am,
1700
01:34:23,074 --> 01:34:26,441
because then I won't suspect whatever
it is he did about the great cause.
1701
01:34:28,413 --> 01:34:31,246
That's another lie
you keep telling yourself, Larry...
1702
01:34:31,249 --> 01:34:33,581
That the good old cause
means nothing to you anymore.
1703
01:34:33,585 --> 01:34:35,746
- What the hell are you...
- But you're wrong about parritt.
1704
01:34:35,753 --> 01:34:38,916
That's not what's got him stopped.
It's what's behind that.
1705
01:34:40,425 --> 01:34:43,167
And it's a woman.
I recognize the symptoms.
1706
01:34:44,888 --> 01:34:47,049
You're the boy who's never wrong.
1707
01:34:49,017 --> 01:34:52,009
His trouble is, he was brought up
a devout believer in the movement,
1708
01:34:52,020 --> 01:34:54,477
and now he's lost his faith.
1709
01:34:54,480 --> 01:34:56,471
It's a shock.
1710
01:34:56,482 --> 01:35:00,600
But he's young and he'll soon find
another dream just as good.
1711
01:35:00,612 --> 01:35:01,977
Or as bad.
1712
01:35:01,988 --> 01:35:03,979
All right. T'll let it go at that, Larry.
1713
01:35:03,990 --> 01:35:06,823
He's nothing to me.
Except that I'm glad he's here.
1714
01:35:06,826 --> 01:35:09,283
Because he'll help me
make you wake up to yourself.
1715
01:35:11,456 --> 01:35:15,119
I don't even like the guy, or the feeling
that there's anything between us.
1716
01:35:15,126 --> 01:35:17,959
But you'll find out
that I'm right just the same
1717
01:35:17,962 --> 01:35:19,953
when you get to
the final showdown with him.
1718
01:35:19,964 --> 01:35:22,125
There'll be no showdown.
I don't give a tinker's...
1719
01:35:22,133 --> 01:35:24,465
Sticking to the grandstand, eh?
1720
01:35:26,262 --> 01:35:30,221
I always knew that you'd be the toughest
of all the gang to convince, Larry.
1721
01:35:30,225 --> 01:35:32,181
And along with Harry and Jimmy tomorrow...
1722
01:35:33,311 --> 01:35:35,302
It was you I wanted to help the most.
1723
01:35:40,235 --> 01:35:42,476
I've always liked you a lot,
you old bastard.
1724
01:35:43,529 --> 01:35:45,110
Hey, not much time before 12:00.
1725
01:35:45,114 --> 01:35:46,820
Come on, gang. Let's get goin'.
1726
01:35:46,824 --> 01:35:49,361
Come on, boys and girls. Let's get busy.
1727
01:35:49,369 --> 01:35:52,907
The cake all set? Fine.
And my gift? And yours, girls.
1728
01:35:52,914 --> 01:35:54,905
Tie, tie, and a handkerchief.
1729
01:35:54,916 --> 01:35:56,702
Chuck and rocky. Hmm?
1730
01:35:56,709 --> 01:35:59,576
Harry certainly will be very touched
by your thoughts of him.
1731
01:35:59,587 --> 01:36:02,579
Margie and Pearl, get back in the bar
and get ready to bring the grub right in.
1732
01:36:02,590 --> 01:36:04,581
There'll be some drinking first
and some toasts.
1733
01:36:04,592 --> 01:36:06,583
My idea was to use the wine for that,
so get that all set.
1734
01:36:06,594 --> 01:36:08,960
I'll go upstairs and root everybody out,
and Harry the last.
1735
01:36:08,972 --> 01:36:11,213
When you hear us coming,
somebody light the candles on the cake
1736
01:36:11,224 --> 01:36:13,340
and start playing
his favorite tune on the piano.
1737
01:36:13,351 --> 01:36:16,559
Come on, Cora, everybody. Let's hustle.
We want this to come off in style.
1738
01:36:16,562 --> 01:36:20,146
Jeez, I gotta practice. I ain't laid
my mitts on a box in god knows when.
1739
01:36:20,149 --> 01:36:22,014
Hey, Joe!
1740
01:36:22,026 --> 01:36:24,483
Jeez, I've forgotten this has-been tune.
1741
01:36:24,487 --> 01:36:26,773
Come on, Joe. Hum it so's I can follow.
1742
01:36:39,877 --> 01:36:43,210
B'god! It's a second feast of belshazzar!
1743
01:36:43,214 --> 01:36:45,375
With hickey to do the writing on the wall!
1744
01:36:45,383 --> 01:36:48,341
Oh, shut up, old cemetery.
1745
01:36:48,344 --> 01:36:50,801
Well, if it ain't prince Willie.
1746
01:36:50,805 --> 01:36:54,138
Gee, kid, you look sick.
Get a couple of shots in ya.
1747
01:36:54,142 --> 01:36:57,225
No, thanks. Not now. I-I'm tapering o-off.
1748
01:37:06,779 --> 01:37:09,486
It's been hell
up in that damn room, Larry.
1749
01:37:09,490 --> 01:37:12,607
The... the things I've imagined.
1750
01:37:14,078 --> 01:37:16,410
But, uh...
1751
01:37:17,790 --> 01:37:19,906
I-I've got it beat now.
1752
01:37:19,917 --> 01:37:23,034
By... by tomorrow morning,
I'll... t'll be on the wagon.
1753
01:37:24,047 --> 01:37:25,537
And I'll, uh...
1754
01:37:25,548 --> 01:37:28,005
I-t'll get b-back my clothes first thing.
1755
01:37:28,009 --> 01:37:30,842
H-hickey's loaning me the money.
1756
01:37:30,845 --> 01:37:32,927
A-and I'm gonna do what I always said.
1757
01:37:32,930 --> 01:37:35,637
I'm g-g-gonna go to the da's office.
1758
01:37:35,641 --> 01:37:39,600
Because he knows that I...
I really w-was a brilliant student.
1759
01:37:40,897 --> 01:37:42,853
I know I could make good.
1760
01:37:45,151 --> 01:37:50,362
I-I owe a lot to hickey. He's... made me
wake up to myself and see what a fool...
1761
01:37:51,616 --> 01:37:54,028
W-wasn't nice to face, but...
1762
01:37:57,121 --> 01:37:59,407
It's not what he says.
1763
01:37:59,415 --> 01:38:01,747
It's what you feel behind what he hints.
1764
01:38:01,751 --> 01:38:03,958
Christ, you think
all I really wanted to do with my life
1765
01:38:03,961 --> 01:38:05,371
was sit here and stay drunk?
1766
01:38:05,380 --> 01:38:06,836
I'll show him.
1767
01:38:10,802 --> 01:38:12,417
If you want my advice...
1768
01:38:13,805 --> 01:38:16,217
You'll put your mouth
on this bottle and keep it there
1769
01:38:16,224 --> 01:38:18,180
until you don't give a damn about hickey.
1770
01:38:21,312 --> 01:38:22,677
That's fine advice.
1771
01:38:24,774 --> 01:38:26,730
I thought you were my friend.
1772
01:38:43,084 --> 01:38:45,040
Gee, I'm glad you're here, Larry.
1773
01:38:46,462 --> 01:38:48,748
That damn fool hickey knocked on my door.
1774
01:38:49,841 --> 01:38:51,331
I thought it must be you.
1775
01:38:51,342 --> 01:38:54,300
He came bustin' in,
he made me come downstairs here.
1776
01:38:55,930 --> 01:38:58,546
I don't know what for. I don't belong
at this birthday celebration.
1777
01:38:58,558 --> 01:39:00,924
I don't know this gang,
and I don't wanna be mixed up with 'em.
1778
01:39:00,935 --> 01:39:03,551
- All I came here for was to find you.
- I warned you, I...
1779
01:39:03,563 --> 01:39:05,679
Can't you make hickey
mind his own business?
1780
01:39:07,275 --> 01:39:10,187
Just now he pats me on the shoulder
like he's sympathizing with me.
1781
01:39:11,696 --> 01:39:13,982
He says, "I know how it is,
but you can't hide from yourself,
1782
01:39:13,990 --> 01:39:16,106
not even here on the bottom of the sea.
1783
01:39:16,117 --> 01:39:18,108
You've gotta face the truth
and do what must be done
1784
01:39:18,119 --> 01:39:20,326
for your own peace
and for the happiness of all concerned."
1785
01:39:20,329 --> 01:39:23,571
- What'd he mean by that, Larry?
- How the hell would I know?
1786
01:39:23,583 --> 01:39:26,074
Then he grins and says,
"Larry's getting wise to himself.
1787
01:39:26,085 --> 01:39:27,950
I don't think you can rely on his help.
1788
01:39:27,962 --> 01:39:30,954
He's gonna have to choose between living
and dying, and he'll never choose to die
1789
01:39:30,965 --> 01:39:32,956
while there's a breath left
in the old bastard."
1790
01:39:32,967 --> 01:39:35,333
Then he laughs like it's a joke on you.
1791
01:39:37,346 --> 01:39:40,930
- Well, what do you say to that, Larry?
- I have nothing to say.
1792
01:39:40,933 --> 01:39:44,926
Except you're a bigger fool than he is
to listen to him.
1793
01:39:44,937 --> 01:39:47,269
Oh, is that so?
Well, he's no fool where you're concerned.
1794
01:39:47,273 --> 01:39:50,231
He's got your number, all right.
1795
01:39:53,321 --> 01:39:55,403
You know I don't mean that.
1796
01:39:55,406 --> 01:39:57,397
What I want most
is to be friends with you.
1797
01:39:57,408 --> 01:39:59,945
I haven't a single friend left
in the world. I hope...
1798
01:40:01,204 --> 01:40:02,785
I'd hoped you'd...
1799
01:40:05,666 --> 01:40:08,749
And you could too, without it hurting you.
1800
01:40:08,753 --> 01:40:11,495
You ought to, for mother's sake.
She really loved you.
1801
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:14,796
You loved her too, didn't you?
1802
01:40:16,469 --> 01:40:18,425
Leave what's dead in its grave.
1803
01:40:20,556 --> 01:40:25,266
I suppose because I was only a kid, you
don't think I was wise about you and her.
1804
01:40:25,269 --> 01:40:28,557
Well, I been wise ever since I can
remember to all the guys she's had.
1805
01:40:30,316 --> 01:40:33,729
She used to try to kid me along
it wasn't so.
1806
01:40:33,736 --> 01:40:37,695
That's a silly stunt for a free anarchist
woman, to be ashamed of being free.
1807
01:40:37,698 --> 01:40:39,814
Shut your damn trap.
1808
01:40:42,036 --> 01:40:44,197
Yes, I know I shouldn't say that now.
1809
01:40:45,706 --> 01:40:47,822
I keep forgetting she isn't free anymore.
1810
01:40:57,677 --> 01:41:00,840
You know, Larry, you're the one
of them all she cared most about.
1811
01:41:04,058 --> 01:41:06,470
Anybody else who left the movement
would've been more than dead to her,
1812
01:41:06,477 --> 01:41:08,013
but she couldn't forget you.
1813
01:41:08,020 --> 01:41:09,976
She used to make excuses for you.
1814
01:41:11,774 --> 01:41:14,732
I used to try to get her goat about you.
1815
01:41:14,735 --> 01:41:16,066
I'd say, "Larry's got brains,
1816
01:41:16,070 --> 01:41:18,982
and yet he thinks the movement's
a crazy pipe dream."
1817
01:41:18,990 --> 01:41:21,481
She blamed it on the booze getting you.
1818
01:41:21,492 --> 01:41:23,448
She'd kid herself
that you'd give up the booze
1819
01:41:23,452 --> 01:41:25,864
and come back to the movement
tomorrow.
1820
01:41:25,871 --> 01:41:29,534
She used to say, "Larry can't kill
in himself a faith he's given his life to.
1821
01:41:29,542 --> 01:41:31,624
Not without killing himself."
1822
01:41:34,880 --> 01:41:37,246
How 'bout that, Larry? Was she right?
1823
01:41:43,097 --> 01:41:45,713
I suppose what she meant by that
was to come back to her.
1824
01:41:45,725 --> 01:41:48,262
She was always getting the movement
mixed up with herself.
1825
01:41:51,522 --> 01:41:53,729
But I'm sure she really
must have loved you, Larry,
1826
01:41:53,733 --> 01:41:56,691
as much as she could've
loved anyone beside herself.
1827
01:41:58,029 --> 01:42:00,441
No, she wasn't even faithful to you,
was she?
1828
01:42:00,448 --> 01:42:02,905
That's why you walked out
on her, isn't it?
1829
01:42:04,368 --> 01:42:08,236
I remember that last fight
you had with her. I was listening.
1830
01:42:08,247 --> 01:42:12,240
I was on your side, even if she was
my mother, because I liked you so much.
1831
01:42:14,754 --> 01:42:18,246
I remember she was putting on
her high-and-mighty "free woman" stuff,
1832
01:42:18,257 --> 01:42:21,795
telling you you were still a slave
to bourgeois morality and jealousy...
1833
01:42:23,054 --> 01:42:25,340
And that you thought the woman you loved
1834
01:42:25,348 --> 01:42:27,384
was a piece of private property you owned.
1835
01:42:27,391 --> 01:42:30,133
I remember you got mad and told her,
"I don't like living with a whore!"
1836
01:42:30,144 --> 01:42:31,759
You lie! I never called her that!
1837
01:42:31,771 --> 01:42:35,355
That's why she still respects you...
'Cause you walked out on her.
1838
01:42:35,358 --> 01:42:37,770
She got sick of the others.
1839
01:42:37,777 --> 01:42:41,941
She had to keep on having lovers
to prove to herself how free she was.
1840
01:42:43,783 --> 01:42:45,694
Made home a lousy place.
1841
01:42:45,701 --> 01:42:48,158
I felt like you did.
It was like living in a whorehouse.
1842
01:42:48,162 --> 01:42:51,199
Only worse, because she didn't
have to make her living at it.
1843
01:42:51,207 --> 01:42:52,367
Bastard.
1844
01:42:53,250 --> 01:42:54,615
She's your mother.
1845
01:42:56,337 --> 01:42:57,417
Have you no shame?
1846
01:42:59,048 --> 01:43:00,379
No.
1847
01:43:02,301 --> 01:43:04,542
She brought me up to believe
that family respect stuff
1848
01:43:04,553 --> 01:43:06,384
is all bourgeois, property-owning crap.
1849
01:43:06,389 --> 01:43:08,220
- Why should I be ashamed?
- I've had enough!
1850
01:43:08,224 --> 01:43:10,590
No! Larry, please don't leave me.
1851
01:43:10,601 --> 01:43:14,560
Larry, I promise, I only mentioned
her name to make you understand better.
1852
01:43:18,442 --> 01:43:21,980
Why didn't you come up to my room
like I asked you to? I kept waiting.
1853
01:43:21,987 --> 01:43:24,603
- We can talk over everything up there.
- There's nothing to talk about.
1854
01:43:24,615 --> 01:43:27,357
But I gotta talk to you
or I'm gonna talk to hickey.
1855
01:43:29,161 --> 01:43:33,120
I feel he knows anyway and I'm sure
he'd understand, but I hate his guts.
1856
01:43:34,875 --> 01:43:36,160
I'm scared of him. Honest.
1857
01:43:36,168 --> 01:43:38,705
There's something not human
behind his damn grinning and kidding.
1858
01:43:38,713 --> 01:43:40,578
You feel that too, do you?
1859
01:43:40,589 --> 01:43:42,625
But I can't go on like this.
I gotta tell you, Larry.
1860
01:43:42,633 --> 01:43:44,919
- I won't listen.
- Okay, I won't, Larry.
1861
01:43:56,772 --> 01:43:59,309
Ah, who do you think you're kidding?
1862
01:44:01,402 --> 01:44:03,484
I know damn well you've guessed.
1863
01:44:03,487 --> 01:44:06,445
- I've guessed nothing.
- But I want you to guess now.
1864
01:44:07,366 --> 01:44:08,947
I'm glad you have.
1865
01:44:10,244 --> 01:44:12,235
I know now, since hickey's been after me,
1866
01:44:12,246 --> 01:44:15,206
that I meant you to guess right
from the start... that's why I came to you.
1867
01:44:19,253 --> 01:44:21,209
I want you to understand the reason.
1868
01:44:25,593 --> 01:44:30,007
You see, I...
I began to study American history,
1869
01:44:30,014 --> 01:44:34,098
and I got admiring Washington
and Jefferson and Jackson and Lincoln,
1870
01:44:34,101 --> 01:44:37,264
and I began to feel patriotic
and love this country.
1871
01:44:37,271 --> 01:44:39,262
Saw it was the best government
in the world,
1872
01:44:39,273 --> 01:44:42,265
where everybody was equal,
everybody had a chance.
1873
01:44:42,276 --> 01:44:44,267
And I saw the ideas behind the movement,
1874
01:44:44,278 --> 01:44:46,690
they came from a lot of Russians
like bakunin and kropotkin.
1875
01:44:46,697 --> 01:44:49,564
They were all meant for Europe.
1876
01:44:49,575 --> 01:44:52,942
See, we didn't need 'em here in
a democracy, where we were free already.
1877
01:44:56,499 --> 01:44:59,411
I didn't want this country to be destroyed
for a damn foreign pipe dream!
1878
01:44:59,418 --> 01:45:02,251
I began to feel like I was a traitor
1879
01:45:02,254 --> 01:45:04,245
for helping a lot of cranks
and bums and free women
1880
01:45:04,256 --> 01:45:06,212
plot to overthrow our government.
1881
01:45:08,636 --> 01:45:10,968
And I saw it was my...
My duty to my country.
1882
01:45:10,971 --> 01:45:13,587
You stinking, rotten liar.
1883
01:45:14,892 --> 01:45:18,430
You think you can fool me
with such hypocrite cant?
1884
01:45:18,437 --> 01:45:20,143
I don't give a damn what you did.
1885
01:45:20,147 --> 01:45:23,514
That's on your own, whatever it was.
I don't know, and I don't wanna know.
1886
01:45:23,526 --> 01:45:26,313
But I never thought mother
would be caught. Please believe that.
1887
01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:27,730
I never wou...
1888
01:45:27,738 --> 01:45:30,980
All t know is that I am sick of living.
1889
01:45:30,991 --> 01:45:32,356
I'm through.
1890
01:45:33,661 --> 01:45:37,153
I'm drowned and contented
on the bottom of a bottle.
1891
01:45:38,582 --> 01:45:41,699
Honor or dishonor, faith or treachery,
1892
01:45:43,170 --> 01:45:46,162
they're nothing to me
but opposites of the same stupidity
1893
01:45:46,173 --> 01:45:49,131
which is the king and ruler of life,
and in the end...
1894
01:45:50,261 --> 01:45:53,344
They'll both rot into dust
in the same grave.
1895
01:45:54,473 --> 01:45:56,384
All things are meaningless to me...
1896
01:45:57,685 --> 01:46:01,553
Because they grin at me
from the one skull of death.
1897
01:46:01,564 --> 01:46:03,350
So go away.
1898
01:46:03,357 --> 01:46:05,143
I've forgotten your mother.
1899
01:46:08,779 --> 01:46:10,735
You old philosopher, huh?
1900
01:46:12,157 --> 01:46:13,567
You lousy old faker!
1901
01:46:13,576 --> 01:46:17,569
For the love of god, leave me in peace,
the little time that's left to me.
1902
01:46:17,580 --> 01:46:20,617
Don't pull that
pitiful old man junk on me.
1903
01:46:20,624 --> 01:46:24,333
You'll never die
when there's a drink of whiskey left.
1904
01:46:24,336 --> 01:46:28,079
You be careful how you taunt me
back into life. I warn you.
1905
01:46:28,090 --> 01:46:31,173
Because I might remember
there's a thing called justice there
1906
01:46:31,176 --> 01:46:32,666
and the punishment for...
1907
01:46:37,182 --> 01:46:39,138
You're as mad as hickey...
1908
01:46:40,561 --> 01:46:42,517
And just as big a liar.
1909
01:46:43,647 --> 01:46:46,354
Wait'll hickey gets through with you.
1910
01:46:49,945 --> 01:46:52,687
Well, hello, tightwad kid.
1911
01:46:52,698 --> 01:46:56,407
You come to join the...
What? Ooh, boy. Don't he act bashful!
1912
01:46:58,495 --> 01:47:00,360
Don't touch me!
1913
01:47:02,583 --> 01:47:04,539
Hey, rocky! Fight in the hall!
1914
01:47:04,543 --> 01:47:07,660
- Believe me, I'll break your neck!
- By god...
1915
01:47:07,671 --> 01:47:10,583
What the hell!
1916
01:47:10,591 --> 01:47:13,583
- Don't touch me!
- Can ya beat it?
1917
01:47:13,594 --> 01:47:16,586
I heard youse two call each other
every name you can think of,
1918
01:47:16,597 --> 01:47:18,087
but I never seen...
1919
01:47:18,098 --> 01:47:22,262
A swell time to stage your first bout...
On Harry's birthday party!
1920
01:47:22,269 --> 01:47:25,136
- What started the scrap?
- Nothing, old chap.
1921
01:47:25,147 --> 01:47:26,933
Our business, you know.
1922
01:47:26,941 --> 01:47:29,808
But that bloody ass hickey
made some insinuation about me,
1923
01:47:29,818 --> 01:47:32,605
and the boorish boer
had the impertinence to agree with him.
1924
01:47:32,613 --> 01:47:35,275
That's a lie!
1925
01:47:35,282 --> 01:47:40,402
Hickey made joke about me,
and this limey said, "yes, it was true!"
1926
01:47:40,412 --> 01:47:42,903
- Yes!
- Now sit down, the both of youse!
1927
01:47:42,915 --> 01:47:44,871
Cut out this rough stuff!
1928
01:47:51,340 --> 01:47:55,003
Jeez, would you look at those bums?
Like a couple of kids.
1929
01:47:55,010 --> 01:47:57,217
For god's sake,
would you kiss and make up, huh?
1930
01:47:57,221 --> 01:47:58,802
Yeah!
1931
01:47:58,806 --> 01:48:00,888
Harry's party begins in a minute,
1932
01:48:00,891 --> 01:48:03,473
and we don't want no soreheads
around here!
1933
01:48:04,812 --> 01:48:06,427
Oh, very well then.
1934
01:48:06,438 --> 01:48:09,430
In deference to the occasion, I apologize,
1935
01:48:09,441 --> 01:48:11,773
general wetjoen,
1936
01:48:11,777 --> 01:48:13,517
provided you do also.
1937
01:48:14,530 --> 01:48:17,567
I apologize, captain Lewis,
1938
01:48:17,574 --> 01:48:20,156
because Harry is my good friend.
1939
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:22,947
Oh, hell,
if you can't do better than that...
1940
01:48:22,955 --> 01:48:24,866
Here's the star boarder.
1941
01:48:24,873 --> 01:48:26,329
It's serious this time.
1942
01:48:27,167 --> 01:48:28,953
I'm tellin' all of you,
1943
01:48:28,961 --> 01:48:31,953
that bastard hickey's
got Harry on the hip.
1944
01:48:31,964 --> 01:48:36,253
And it ain't gonna do us no good if he
gets Harry to take that walk tomorrow.
1945
01:48:36,260 --> 01:48:38,125
He's sure to call on bessie's relations
1946
01:48:38,137 --> 01:48:40,753
and have a little cry
over poor old bessie.
1947
01:48:40,764 --> 01:48:44,427
And you know what that bitch
and all her family thought of me.
1948
01:48:45,686 --> 01:48:48,428
Once bessie's relations
get their hooks into him,
1949
01:48:49,732 --> 01:48:52,690
it'll be as tough for us
as if she wasn't even gone.
1950
01:48:53,652 --> 01:48:55,062
Everything all set?
1951
01:48:55,070 --> 01:48:57,152
Ah, fine. Half a minute to go.
1952
01:48:57,156 --> 01:48:59,021
Harry's starting down with Jimmy now.
1953
01:48:59,033 --> 01:49:00,614
I had a hard time getting him to move.
1954
01:49:00,617 --> 01:49:02,824
Harry don't even want to remember
it's his birthday now.
1955
01:49:02,828 --> 01:49:05,240
Oh, here they come!
Come on, everybody! Light the candles!
1956
01:49:05,247 --> 01:49:07,704
Cora, get ready to play.
Stand up, everybody.
1957
01:49:07,708 --> 01:49:10,074
Chuck. Rocky. The wine.
1958
01:49:10,085 --> 01:49:12,451
Let's see. Twelve o'clock on the dot.
1959
01:49:12,463 --> 01:49:15,045
Come on, everybody,
with a "happy birthday, Harry!"
1960
01:49:15,049 --> 01:49:17,836
Happy birthday, Harry!
1961
01:49:17,843 --> 01:49:19,549
Hey!
1962
01:49:19,553 --> 01:49:22,169
Cut out the glad hand, hickey!
1963
01:49:22,181 --> 01:49:23,921
You think I'm a sucker?
1964
01:49:23,932 --> 01:49:28,050
B'Jesus, I know you,
you sneakin', lyin' drummer.
1965
01:49:28,062 --> 01:49:31,646
And all you bums!
What the hell you tryin' to do?
1966
01:49:31,648 --> 01:49:33,639
Yellin' and raisin' the roof.
1967
01:49:33,650 --> 01:49:37,188
You want the cops to close the joint
and take my license away?
1968
01:49:37,196 --> 01:49:40,609
Hey, ya dumb tart. Quit bangin' that box.
1969
01:49:41,366 --> 01:49:43,527
Jeez, Harry, I...
1970
01:49:43,535 --> 01:49:46,242
B'jeez,
the least you could do is learn a tune.
1971
01:49:47,289 --> 01:49:49,029
And you two hookers,
1972
01:49:49,041 --> 01:49:51,032
screamin' at the top of your lungs.
1973
01:49:51,043 --> 01:49:53,125
What do you think this is,
a dollar cathouse?
1974
01:49:53,128 --> 01:49:54,959
B'jeez, that's where you belong.
1975
01:49:54,963 --> 01:49:58,251
Oh... Harry.
1976
01:49:58,258 --> 01:50:02,001
Jeez, Harry, I never thought
you'd say it like you meant it.
1977
01:50:04,181 --> 01:50:07,469
Harry, don't get sore at the gang
just 'cause you're upset with yourself.
1978
01:50:08,393 --> 01:50:10,224
I promised you'd come through all right,
haven't I?
1979
01:50:10,229 --> 01:50:11,844
So quit worryin'.
1980
01:50:11,855 --> 01:50:13,516
You don't wanna bawl out the old gang
1981
01:50:13,524 --> 01:50:16,516
just when they're congratulating you
on your birthday, do ya?
1982
01:50:16,527 --> 01:50:19,564
B'jeez, they ain't as dumb as you.
1983
01:50:19,571 --> 01:50:22,153
They know I was only kiddin" 'em.
1984
01:50:22,157 --> 01:50:26,070
They know I appreciate their
congratulations. Don't you, fellas?
1985
01:50:26,078 --> 01:50:27,818
Yeah, sure, Harry!
1986
01:50:31,708 --> 01:50:33,824
B'jeez, I like you broads.
1987
01:50:34,753 --> 01:50:36,334
You know I was only kiddin'.
1988
01:50:37,840 --> 01:50:39,831
- Sure. We know, Harry.
- Sure.
1989
01:50:39,842 --> 01:50:43,255
Sure. Harry's the greatest kidder
in this dump, and that's sayin' something.
1990
01:50:43,262 --> 01:50:45,253
Look how he's kidded himself for 20 years.
1991
01:50:45,264 --> 01:50:49,758
But unless I'm wrong, governor, and
I'm bettin' I'm not, we'll soon know, eh?
1992
01:50:49,768 --> 01:50:51,929
Tomorrow morning.
1993
01:50:51,937 --> 01:50:54,303
No, by god. It's this morning now.
1994
01:50:55,315 --> 01:50:57,306
This... th-th-this morning?
1995
01:50:57,317 --> 01:50:59,308
Yes, it's the day at last, Jimmy.
1996
01:50:59,319 --> 01:51:01,355
But don't be scared.
I'll help you. I promised that.
1997
01:51:01,363 --> 01:51:03,900
I-I-i don't understand you.
1998
01:51:03,907 --> 01:51:06,944
Kindly remember I'm fully capable
of settling my own affairs.
1999
01:51:06,952 --> 01:51:09,409
Well, isn't that exactly
what I want you to do?
2000
01:51:10,873 --> 01:51:12,659
Only watch out on the booze.
2001
01:51:12,666 --> 01:51:15,533
You've had a lot to drink already, and you
don't wanna let yourself duck out of it
2002
01:51:15,544 --> 01:51:18,331
by being too drunk to move, not this time.
2003
01:51:18,338 --> 01:51:21,080
B'jeez, Margie, you know I didn't mean it.
2004
01:51:22,509 --> 01:51:26,377
It's that lousy drummer ridin' me
that's got my goat.
2005
01:51:26,388 --> 01:51:28,754
I know, Harry, I know.
2006
01:51:28,765 --> 01:51:30,847
Hey, come on. Look at your cake.
2007
01:51:30,851 --> 01:51:34,184
You haven't even noticed it yet, huh?
Ain't it grand? Look.
2008
01:51:34,188 --> 01:51:36,600
Yeah. Say, that's pretty.
2009
01:51:36,607 --> 01:51:38,939
I ain't ever had a cake since bessie...
2010
01:51:40,068 --> 01:51:41,308
- Six candles, eh?
- Mm-hmm.
2011
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:44,278
- Each for ten years, huh?
- Hickey got it.
2012
01:51:46,158 --> 01:51:49,946
Well, it was thoughtful of him.
He means well, I guess.
2013
01:51:49,953 --> 01:51:52,865
- Aw, the hell with this cake!
- Oh, wait, Harry!
2014
01:51:52,873 --> 01:51:56,832
You ain't seen the presents from me
and Margie and Cora and Chuck and rocky.
2015
01:51:56,835 --> 01:52:00,748
And there's a watch all engraved
with your name and the date from hickey.
2016
01:52:00,756 --> 01:52:03,919
Well, the hell with...
B'jeez, he can keep it!
2017
01:52:05,427 --> 01:52:06,758
Hey.
2018
01:52:06,762 --> 01:52:10,004
He ain't even gonna look at the presents.
2019
01:52:10,015 --> 01:52:13,007
Hey... hey, come on, everybody.
This is all wrong!
2020
01:52:13,018 --> 01:52:16,010
If somebody don't put some life
in this party, I'm gonna go nuts!
2021
01:52:16,021 --> 01:52:18,512
Hey, Cora, why don't you bang on that box!
2022
01:52:18,523 --> 01:52:21,731
Uh, uh, play somethin' for Harry, huh?
2023
01:52:21,735 --> 01:52:24,943
You don't have to stop
just 'cause he kidded ya.
2024
01:52:24,947 --> 01:52:27,029
No, you was playin' it fine, Cora.
2025
01:52:27,032 --> 01:52:28,943
It was bessie's favorite tune.
2026
01:52:28,951 --> 01:52:30,862
She was always singin' it.
2027
01:52:30,869 --> 01:52:33,030
I-it brings her back. I wish...
2028
01:52:33,038 --> 01:52:36,701
Yes, we've all heard you tell us that
you thought the world of her, governor.
2029
01:52:36,708 --> 01:52:39,745
So I did, b'jeez.
2030
01:52:39,753 --> 01:52:43,587
Everyone knows I did.
And, b'jeez, if you say I didn't...
2031
01:52:43,590 --> 01:52:46,127
Now, governor, I didn't say anything.
2032
01:52:46,134 --> 01:52:49,001
You're the only one
that knows the truth about that.
2033
01:52:49,012 --> 01:52:51,924
Marjorie's favorite song
was "loch lomond."
2034
01:52:53,642 --> 01:52:55,974
Oh, she was beautiful.
2035
01:52:55,978 --> 01:53:00,722
She had a beautiful voice
and she played the piano beautifully.
2036
01:53:02,776 --> 01:53:05,233
You were lucky, Harry, bessie died.
2037
01:53:05,237 --> 01:53:07,319
But there are more bitter sorrows
2038
01:53:07,322 --> 01:53:10,189
than losing the woman one loves
by the hand of death.
2039
01:53:10,200 --> 01:53:11,781
You needn't go on, Jimmy.
2040
01:53:11,785 --> 01:53:14,401
We've all heard the story
about how you came back to Cape Town
2041
01:53:14,413 --> 01:53:16,404
and found her in the hay
with a staff officer.
2042
01:53:16,415 --> 01:53:20,533
We know you'd like to believe that's what
started you on booze and ruined your life.
2043
01:53:22,254 --> 01:53:24,836
I-I'm talking to Harry.
2044
01:53:24,840 --> 01:53:28,128
Will you kindly keep out of my...
2045
01:53:28,135 --> 01:53:30,046
My life is not ruined!
2046
01:53:31,305 --> 01:53:34,047
But I'll bet when you admit
the truth to yourself,
2047
01:53:34,057 --> 01:53:37,845
you'll confess that you were pretty sick
of her hating you for getting drunk.
2048
01:53:37,853 --> 01:53:42,142
I'll bet you were really damned relieved
when she gave you such a good excuse.
2049
01:53:42,149 --> 01:53:45,141
- I know how it is, Jimmy. See, I...
- Ha!
2050
01:53:45,152 --> 01:53:47,268
So that's what happened, is it?
2051
01:53:47,279 --> 01:53:50,237
Your iceman joke finally
came home to roost, did it?
2052
01:53:51,783 --> 01:53:53,774
Maybe you should have
remembered there's truth
2053
01:53:53,785 --> 01:53:56,993
in the old superstition
that you'd better look out what you call,
2054
01:53:56,997 --> 01:53:59,033
because in the end it comes to you.
2055
01:53:59,041 --> 01:54:01,077
Oh, is that a fact, Larry?
2056
01:54:01,084 --> 01:54:02,699
Well, well.
2057
01:54:02,711 --> 01:54:05,828
Then you'd better be careful how
you keep callin' for the old big sleep.
2058
01:54:06,923 --> 01:54:08,629
This one?
2059
01:54:08,633 --> 01:54:11,625
Well, what are we waiting for, boys
and girls? Let's get this party rolling.
2060
01:54:11,636 --> 01:54:14,127
Chuck! Rocky! Bring on the big surprise!
2061
01:54:14,139 --> 01:54:17,302
Governor, you sit over here
at the head of the table. Come on.
2062
01:54:19,019 --> 01:54:20,975
Well, sit down, girls. Sit down.
2063
01:54:25,067 --> 01:54:27,228
And I'll sit here at the foot.
2064
01:54:28,320 --> 01:54:30,561
Real champagne, bums! Cheer up!
2065
01:54:39,039 --> 01:54:41,121
What is this, a funeral?
2066
01:54:41,124 --> 01:54:45,914
Mixing champagne with Harry's red-eye'll
knock you paralyzed.
2067
01:54:45,921 --> 01:54:48,207
Ain't you never satisfied?
2068
01:54:50,217 --> 01:54:52,208
Order! Order!
2069
01:54:52,219 --> 01:54:53,834
Ladies and gents...
2070
01:54:55,305 --> 01:54:57,546
Yes, I am gonna drink with you
this time, Larry,
2071
01:54:57,557 --> 01:54:58,922
to prove that I'm not teetotal
2072
01:54:58,934 --> 01:55:01,550
because the booze'll make me
spill my secrets, as you think.
2073
01:55:01,561 --> 01:55:04,553
I don't need the booze anymore,
or anything else.
2074
01:55:04,564 --> 01:55:06,225
I just wanna be sociable
2075
01:55:06,233 --> 01:55:08,645
and propose a toast in honor
of our old friend Harry,
2076
01:55:08,652 --> 01:55:10,517
and drink it with you.
2077
01:55:10,529 --> 01:55:12,815
Wake up our demon bomb-tosser, rocky.
2078
01:55:12,823 --> 01:55:15,189
We don't want any corpses at this feast.
2079
01:55:15,200 --> 01:55:17,236
Hey, Hugo. Come up for air.
2080
01:55:17,244 --> 01:55:19,200
Don't you see the champagne?
2081
01:55:21,164 --> 01:55:23,200
We will eat birthday cake
2082
01:55:23,208 --> 01:55:26,291
and drink champagne
beneath the Willow trees!
2083
01:55:31,675 --> 01:55:34,007
This wine is unfit to drink!
2084
01:55:34,010 --> 01:55:36,592
It has not properly been iced.
2085
01:55:36,596 --> 01:55:40,384
Always the high-toned swell at heart,
eh, Hugo?
2086
01:55:40,392 --> 01:55:43,805
Well, god help us poor bums if you ever
got to telling us where to get off.
2087
01:55:43,812 --> 01:55:46,724
You'd have been drinking our blood
beneath those Willow trees.
2088
01:55:46,731 --> 01:55:48,972
Here's the toast, ladies and gents.
2089
01:55:48,984 --> 01:55:50,895
Here's to Harry hope,
2090
01:55:50,902 --> 01:55:53,860
who's been a friend in need
to every one of us.
2091
01:55:53,864 --> 01:55:55,775
And here's to the old governor,
2092
01:55:55,782 --> 01:55:59,866
the best sport and the kindest,
biggest-hearted guy in the world.
2093
01:55:59,870 --> 01:56:01,861
Come on, everybody. To Harry.
2094
01:56:01,872 --> 01:56:02,861
Bottoms up.
2095
01:56:02,873 --> 01:56:04,283
- To Harry!
- To Harry!
2096
01:56:04,291 --> 01:56:06,657
- To you, boss.
- Happy birthday.
2097
01:56:08,128 --> 01:56:09,834
Thanks, all of you.
2098
01:56:11,089 --> 01:56:13,296
Hickey, you old son of a bitch.
2099
01:56:14,301 --> 01:56:16,758
That's white of ya.
2100
01:56:16,761 --> 01:56:20,800
- I know you meant it too.
- Of course I meant it, Harry, old friend.
2101
01:56:20,807 --> 01:56:24,550
And I mean it when I say that I hope
this will be the biggest day in your life
2102
01:56:24,561 --> 01:56:26,973
and in the lives of everyone here,
2103
01:56:26,980 --> 01:56:30,723
and the beginning of a new life
of peace and contentment.
2104
01:56:30,734 --> 01:56:32,565
And here's to that, Harry.
2105
01:56:32,569 --> 01:56:36,278
Oh, forget the bughouse line of bull
for a minute, can't ya?
2106
01:56:36,281 --> 01:56:40,149
You're right, rocky. I am talking
too much. It's Harry we want to hear from.
2107
01:56:40,160 --> 01:56:43,527
Speech! Speech! Speech!
2108
01:56:45,373 --> 01:56:48,831
B'Jesus, I'm... I'm no good on speeches.
2109
01:56:49,794 --> 01:56:53,958
All I can say is,
thanks to everybody again
2110
01:56:53,965 --> 01:56:56,672
for remembering me on my birthday.
2111
01:56:59,304 --> 01:57:02,216
Only don't think because I'm 60
2112
01:57:02,224 --> 01:57:05,637
I'll be a bigger damned fool
easy Mark than ever.
2113
01:57:05,644 --> 01:57:08,226
Like hickey says, it's gonna be a new day.
2114
01:57:08,230 --> 01:57:10,846
This dump has got to be run
like other dumps
2115
01:57:10,857 --> 01:57:13,519
so I can make some money
and not just split even.
2116
01:57:13,527 --> 01:57:15,609
I'm sick of bein' played for a sucker.
2117
01:57:17,322 --> 01:57:22,032
I know you're all laughin' at me now
behind my back,
2118
01:57:22,035 --> 01:57:24,196
thinkin' to yourselves, why, the...
2119
01:57:24,204 --> 01:57:27,162
Why, the old lyin', pipe-dreamin' faker.
2120
01:57:27,165 --> 01:57:30,703
We've heard his bull about takin' a walk
around the ward for years.
2121
01:57:30,710 --> 01:57:32,325
He'll never make it.
2122
01:57:32,337 --> 01:57:34,544
He's scared. He's yellow.
2123
01:57:34,548 --> 01:57:35,913
He ain't got the guts.
2124
01:57:35,924 --> 01:57:38,085
He's scared he'll find out...
2125
01:57:39,594 --> 01:57:41,585
But I'll show you, b'jeez.
2126
01:57:41,596 --> 01:57:46,386
And I'll show you too, you son of a bitch
of a fryin' pan-peddlin' bastard.
2127
01:57:46,393 --> 01:57:48,805
That's the stuff, Harry!
2128
01:57:48,812 --> 01:57:52,054
Of course you'll try to show me.
That's what I want you to do.
2129
01:57:55,652 --> 01:57:57,017
Well, Jesus,
2130
01:57:57,779 --> 01:57:59,986
all of you, forgive me.
2131
01:58:01,157 --> 01:58:02,488
I lost my temper.
2132
01:58:03,743 --> 01:58:05,153
I ain't feelin' well.
2133
01:58:07,998 --> 01:58:09,954
I got a hell of a grouch on.
2134
01:58:11,626 --> 01:58:14,208
You're as welcome as the flowers in may.
2135
01:58:18,550 --> 01:58:20,506
Oh, sure, boss.
2136
01:58:20,510 --> 01:58:23,172
You're always aces with us, see.
2137
01:58:25,473 --> 01:58:27,384
Uh, listen, everybody.
2138
01:58:27,392 --> 01:58:30,850
I know you're sick of my gabbin',
but, uh, I think I owe it to you
2139
01:58:30,854 --> 01:58:32,640
to do a little explaining and apologize
2140
01:58:32,647 --> 01:58:35,309
for some of the rough stuff
I've had to pull on you.
2141
01:58:35,317 --> 01:58:37,933
I had to make you help each other with me.
2142
01:58:37,944 --> 01:58:42,358
I saw that I couldn't do what I had to do
alone, not in the time at my disposal.
2143
01:58:42,365 --> 01:58:44,356
I knew when I came here
I wouldn't be able to stay long.
2144
01:58:44,367 --> 01:58:46,278
I'm slated to leave on a trip.
2145
01:58:46,286 --> 01:58:50,199
Now, I know every one of you,
inside and out, by heart.
2146
01:58:50,206 --> 01:58:53,118
I may have been drunk
when I been here before,
2147
01:58:53,126 --> 01:58:54,787
but old hickey could never be so drunk
2148
01:58:54,794 --> 01:58:57,285
that he couldn't have to
see through everybody.
2149
01:58:57,297 --> 01:58:59,413
Everybody, that is, except himself.
2150
01:58:59,424 --> 01:59:02,211
And finally he had to
see through himself too.
2151
01:59:02,218 --> 01:59:04,209
I swear I would've never acted this way
2152
01:59:04,220 --> 01:59:07,428
if I didn't absolutely believe it'd
be worthwhile to you in the end.
2153
01:59:07,432 --> 01:59:09,718
When you're rid of the guilt
that makes you lie to yourselves
2154
01:59:09,726 --> 01:59:11,216
that you're something you're not
2155
01:59:11,227 --> 01:59:15,812
and the remorse that nags at you and makes
you hide behind lousy pipe dreams,
2156
01:59:15,815 --> 01:59:18,807
you won't give a damn
what you are anymore.
2157
01:59:18,818 --> 01:59:20,809
I wouldn't say this unless I knew.
2158
01:59:20,820 --> 01:59:23,061
Brothers and sisters, this peace is real.
It is a fact.
2159
01:59:23,073 --> 01:59:27,032
I know because I've got it here and now,
right in front of you.
2160
01:59:27,035 --> 01:59:30,903
Well, you can see the difference in me.
You remember how I used to be.
2161
01:59:30,914 --> 01:59:32,905
Even when I had two quarts
of rotgut under my belt
2162
01:59:32,916 --> 01:59:34,702
and joked and sang "sweet Adeline,”
2163
01:59:34,709 --> 01:59:37,451
I still felt like a guilty skunk.
2164
01:59:37,462 --> 01:59:41,046
But you can see that I don't give a damn
about anything anymore.
2165
01:59:41,049 --> 01:59:45,042
And I promise you
by the time this day is over,
2166
01:59:45,053 --> 01:59:48,545
I'll have every one of you
feeling the same way.
2167
01:59:48,556 --> 01:59:51,423
I guess that's about all from me
for the present, boys and girls.
2168
01:59:51,434 --> 01:59:53,641
So let's get on with the party.
2169
01:59:53,645 --> 01:59:54,805
Wait.
2170
01:59:56,439 --> 01:59:59,556
I think it would help
us poor, pipe-dreaming sinners
2171
01:59:59,567 --> 02:00:01,774
along the sawdust trail of salvation...
2172
02:00:02,987 --> 02:00:05,069
If you told us now what it was happened
2173
02:00:05,073 --> 02:00:08,861
that converted you
to this great peace you've found.
2174
02:00:08,868 --> 02:00:11,655
I notice you didn't say anything
when I asked you about the iceman.
2175
02:00:13,331 --> 02:00:16,915
Did this great revelation of the evil
habit of dreaming about tomorrow
2176
02:00:16,918 --> 02:00:20,661
come to you after you found out
your wife was sick of you?
2177
02:00:20,672 --> 02:00:23,880
B'jeez, you've... you've hit it, Larry.
2178
02:00:23,883 --> 02:00:26,795
I've noticed he hasn't shown
her picture around this time.
2179
02:00:26,803 --> 02:00:30,387
He hasn't got it.
The iceman took it away from him!
2180
02:00:30,390 --> 02:00:33,803
Look at him. Can you blame her?
2181
02:00:33,810 --> 02:00:36,222
She must be hard up
to fall for an iceman.
2182
02:00:36,229 --> 02:00:39,562
Imagine a sap like that
advising me and Chuck to get married.
2183
02:00:39,566 --> 02:00:41,272
Yeah, he done so good with it.
2184
02:00:41,276 --> 02:00:45,360
At least I can say that Marjorie
chose an officer and a gentleman.
2185
02:00:47,073 --> 02:00:48,859
Come to look at you, hickey, old chum,
2186
02:00:48,867 --> 02:00:53,236
you're sprouting horns
like a bloody antelope.
2187
02:00:53,246 --> 02:00:57,535
Bigger, by god. Like a water buffalo.
2188
02:00:59,127 --> 02:01:02,119
& "oh, come up," she cried j
2189
02:01:02,130 --> 02:01:05,748
j my iceman lad
and you and I'll agree j
2190
02:01:05,759 --> 02:01:08,216
; And I'll show you the prettiest... &
2191
02:01:08,219 --> 02:01:11,302
j; That ever you did ever see j
2192
02:01:12,891 --> 02:01:15,598
well, I'm glad to see you getting
in good spirits for Harry's party,
2193
02:01:15,602 --> 02:01:18,014
even if the joke is on me.
2194
02:01:18,021 --> 02:01:20,103
I admit
I always asked for it in the old days
2195
02:01:20,106 --> 02:01:23,018
by pulling the iceman gag,
so, uh, laugh all you like.
2196
02:01:34,496 --> 02:01:36,407
Well, I guess this forces my hand,
2197
02:01:36,414 --> 02:01:38,905
you bringing up the subject of Evelyn.
2198
02:01:38,917 --> 02:01:40,999
I had wanted to wait
till the party was over,
2199
02:01:41,002 --> 02:01:44,085
but, uh, you're getting the wrong idea
about poor Evelyn,
2200
02:01:44,088 --> 02:01:46,044
and I've gotta stop that.
2201
02:01:47,801 --> 02:01:51,259
I'm sorry to tell you
that my dearly beloved wife is dead.
2202
02:01:59,979 --> 02:02:01,435
B'god.
2203
02:02:02,857 --> 02:02:04,973
I felt he had the touch of death on him.
2204
02:02:08,321 --> 02:02:10,778
Oh, forgive me, hickey.
2205
02:02:10,782 --> 02:02:13,489
I'd like to cut my dirty tongue out.
2206
02:02:14,369 --> 02:02:16,485
- Sorry.
- Sorry. Apologies.
2207
02:02:16,496 --> 02:02:18,077
Oh, now, look, everybody.
2208
02:02:18,081 --> 02:02:21,244
You mustn't let this be a wet blanket
on Harry's birthday party.
2209
02:02:21,251 --> 02:02:24,163
You're still getting me all wrong.
There's no reason.
2210
02:02:24,170 --> 02:02:26,877
You see, I don't feel any grief.
2211
02:02:26,881 --> 02:02:29,463
I've gotta feel glad, for her sake,
2212
02:02:30,343 --> 02:02:32,379
because she's at peace.
2213
02:02:32,387 --> 02:02:34,218
She's rid of me at last.
2214
02:02:34,222 --> 02:02:35,803
You can imagine what it's like
being married
2215
02:02:35,807 --> 02:02:37,763
to a no-good, drunken cheater like me.
2216
02:02:38,726 --> 02:02:41,513
And there was no way out of it for her
2217
02:02:41,521 --> 02:02:43,227
because she loved me.
2218
02:02:43,231 --> 02:02:45,597
Should I feel sad?
2219
02:02:45,608 --> 02:02:48,896
She wouldn't want me to feel sad.
2220
02:02:53,283 --> 02:02:57,652
Why, all that Evelyn ever wanted
out of life was to make me happy.
2221
02:03:17,056 --> 02:03:20,219
Ah, nothin' now till the noon rush
from the market.
2222
02:03:22,020 --> 02:03:25,137
If I ain't a sap to let Chuck kid me
into workin' his time
2223
02:03:25,148 --> 02:03:27,355
so's he can take the morning off.
2224
02:03:27,358 --> 02:03:29,064
But I got sick of arguin'.
2225
02:03:29,068 --> 02:03:32,026
I says, "all right, get married.
What's it to me?"
2226
02:03:37,327 --> 02:03:39,534
Some party last night, huh?
2227
02:03:39,537 --> 02:03:41,619
It was jinxed from the start,
2228
02:03:41,623 --> 02:03:45,741
but his telling about his wife croakin'
put the ko on it.
2229
02:03:45,752 --> 02:03:50,212
Yes, the birthday feast
turned out to be a wake.
2230
02:03:50,214 --> 02:03:54,332
Him promising he'd cut out
that bughouse bull about peace,
2231
02:03:54,344 --> 02:03:58,053
and then he went on talkin' and talkin'
like he couldn't stop.
2232
02:03:59,766 --> 02:04:01,722
And the gang sneakin' upstairs,
2233
02:04:01,726 --> 02:04:05,139
leaving free booze and eats
like they was poison.
2234
02:04:05,146 --> 02:04:08,138
He's been hoppin'
from room to room all night.
2235
02:04:08,149 --> 02:04:12,142
He's got his reform wave
going strong this morning.
2236
02:04:12,153 --> 02:04:14,610
Did you notice him
drag Jimmy out the first thing
2237
02:04:14,614 --> 02:04:17,071
to get his laundry and his clothes pressed
2238
02:04:17,075 --> 02:04:19,066
so he wouldn't have no excuse?
2239
02:04:19,077 --> 02:04:22,990
And he give Willie the dough
to buy his stuff back from solly's.
2240
02:04:22,997 --> 02:04:26,785
And all the rest have been brushin'
and shavin' themselves with the shakes.
2241
02:04:26,793 --> 02:04:29,500
He didn't come to my room.
2242
02:04:29,504 --> 02:04:31,961
Afraid I might ask him a few questions.
2243
02:04:31,965 --> 02:04:34,877
Yeah, I'd say you were scared of him.
2244
02:04:34,884 --> 02:04:38,547
- You'd lie then.
- Don't let him kid you, rocky.
2245
02:04:38,554 --> 02:04:41,261
He had his door locked.
I couldn't get in either.
2246
02:04:41,265 --> 02:04:44,132
Yeah.
Who do you think you're kidding, Larry?
2247
02:04:44,143 --> 02:04:47,226
Like he says,
if you was so anxious to croak,
2248
02:04:47,230 --> 02:04:50,267
why wouldn't you hop off
your fire escape long ago?
2249
02:04:50,274 --> 02:04:54,392
Because it'd be a coward's quitting,
that's why.
2250
02:04:54,404 --> 02:04:56,110
He's all quitter, rocky.
2251
02:04:57,782 --> 02:04:59,568
He's a yellow old faker.
2252
02:04:59,575 --> 02:05:01,486
You lying punk.
2253
02:05:01,494 --> 02:05:04,201
Yeah, keep out of this, you.
2254
02:05:04,205 --> 02:05:06,161
Shall I give him the bum's rush, Larry?
2255
02:05:06,165 --> 02:05:08,451
You don't want him around,
nobody else don't.
2256
02:05:08,459 --> 02:05:11,542
Aw, let him stay.
I don't mind. He's nothing to me.
2257
02:05:12,755 --> 02:05:14,211
You're right.
2258
02:05:16,384 --> 02:05:17,999
I have nowhere I can go now.
2259
02:05:18,011 --> 02:05:20,172
You're the only one in the world
I can turn to.
2260
02:05:21,389 --> 02:05:23,801
Aw, you're a soft old sap, Larry.
2261
02:05:23,808 --> 02:05:25,844
He's a no-good louse like hickey.
2262
02:05:25,852 --> 02:05:28,138
He don't belong.
2263
02:05:28,146 --> 02:05:31,183
Yeah, I'm all in. Not a wink of sleep.
2264
02:05:47,540 --> 02:05:50,031
Larry, I'm sorry for riding you,
2265
02:05:50,043 --> 02:05:54,002
but you get my goat when you act as if you
didn't care a damn what happened to me.
2266
02:05:54,005 --> 02:05:56,337
And you keep your door locked
so I can't talk to you.
2267
02:05:57,842 --> 02:06:00,754
But that was to keep hickey out,
wasn't it?
2268
02:06:00,762 --> 02:06:03,549
I don't blame you.
I'm getting more and more to hate him.
2269
02:06:03,556 --> 02:06:06,548
More and more scared of him.
2270
02:06:06,559 --> 02:06:09,767
Especially since he told us
about his wife being dead.
2271
02:06:11,606 --> 02:06:14,518
It's that queer feeling he gives me
that I'm mixed up with him in some way.
2272
02:06:14,525 --> 02:06:17,312
I don't know why,
but it started me thinking about mother.
2273
02:06:18,780 --> 02:06:21,271
As if she was dead.
2274
02:06:23,493 --> 02:06:25,449
I suppose she might as well be.
2275
02:06:29,415 --> 02:06:32,498
It must kill her when she thinks of me.
2276
02:06:32,502 --> 02:06:36,086
I know she doesn't want to,
but she can't help it.
2277
02:06:39,425 --> 02:06:41,882
After all, I'm her only kid.
2278
02:06:41,886 --> 02:06:45,128
She used to spoil me and made a pet of me.
2279
02:06:47,141 --> 02:06:49,097
Every once in a great while...
2280
02:06:51,479 --> 02:06:53,219
When she remembered me...
2281
02:06:55,233 --> 02:06:57,315
As if she was trying
to make up for something,
2282
02:06:57,318 --> 02:07:00,606
as if she was... feeling guilty.
2283
02:07:02,448 --> 02:07:05,281
So I guess she must have
loved me a little.
2284
02:07:05,284 --> 02:07:07,866
Even if she never let it interfere
with her freedom.
2285
02:07:13,334 --> 02:07:14,790
You know, Larry...
2286
02:07:17,505 --> 02:07:20,588
I once had a sneaking suspicion
that if the truth were known,
2287
02:07:20,591 --> 02:07:22,297
you were my father.
2288
02:07:22,301 --> 02:07:24,166
Damn fool.
2289
02:07:24,178 --> 02:07:26,544
Who put that insane idea in your head?
2290
02:07:28,850 --> 02:07:30,556
Anyone in the coast crowd could tell
2291
02:07:30,560 --> 02:07:33,597
I never laid eyes on your mother
till after you were born.
2292
02:07:34,814 --> 02:07:36,930
Well, now, I'd hardly ask them, would I?
2293
02:07:41,237 --> 02:07:44,229
I know you're right though,
'cause I asked her.
2294
02:07:47,952 --> 02:07:50,489
She brought me up to be frank
and ask her anything.
2295
02:07:53,541 --> 02:07:56,283
I was talking about
how she must feel now about me.
2296
02:07:59,172 --> 02:08:03,506
My getting through with the movement,
she'll never forgive me for that.
2297
02:08:03,509 --> 02:08:04,999
It must be the final knockout
2298
02:08:05,011 --> 02:08:07,093
if she knows that I was the one
who sold out the movement.
2299
02:08:07,096 --> 02:08:09,587
Shut up, damn you. Shut up.
It'll kill her.
2300
02:08:10,600 --> 02:08:12,181
But, Larry...
2301
02:08:13,436 --> 02:08:15,927
I never thought
that they would have caught her.
2302
02:08:17,523 --> 02:08:19,764
You've gotta believe
what the only reason was.
2303
02:08:22,528 --> 02:08:26,112
I'll admit, what I told you last night,
that was a lie.
2304
02:08:26,115 --> 02:08:28,982
All that bunk about feeling patriotic
and my duty to my country.
2305
02:08:30,870 --> 02:08:33,111
But here's the true reason,
the only reason, Larry.
2306
02:08:35,583 --> 02:08:38,871
See, I got stuck on this whore,
and I wanted dough.
2307
02:08:38,878 --> 02:08:42,496
That's the only reason. That's all
I did it for. Just the money, honest!
2308
02:08:42,506 --> 02:08:45,418
Shut up! What the hell is it to me?
2309
02:08:45,426 --> 02:08:47,508
- What's comin' off here?
- Nothing.
2310
02:08:47,511 --> 02:08:51,049
This young punk is talking my ear off.
He's a worse pest than hickey.
2311
02:08:51,057 --> 02:08:53,844
Oh, yeah. Hickey.
2312
02:08:53,851 --> 02:08:55,512
Say, listen.
2313
02:08:58,564 --> 02:09:00,646
What questions? What questions?
2314
02:09:00,650 --> 02:09:03,437
Well, you notice he didn't tell us
what his wife died of.
2315
02:09:03,444 --> 02:09:06,436
Oh, lay off of that. The poor guy.
2316
02:09:06,447 --> 02:09:08,312
What are you getting at anyway?
2317
02:09:08,324 --> 02:09:12,613
- You don't think it's just a gag of his?
- No. No, I don't.
2318
02:09:12,620 --> 02:09:14,531
Damn sure he brought death here with him.
2319
02:09:14,538 --> 02:09:16,824
I can smell the cold touch of it upon him.
2320
02:09:16,832 --> 02:09:18,413
Aw, bunk.
2321
02:09:18,417 --> 02:09:21,454
You got croakin' on the brain,
old cemetery.
2322
02:09:21,462 --> 02:09:25,330
Say, do you mean you think
she committed suicide
2323
02:09:25,341 --> 02:09:27,206
on account of his cheatin' or somethin'?
2324
02:09:27,218 --> 02:09:28,924
It wouldn't surprise me.
2325
02:09:28,928 --> 02:09:30,634
But that's crazy.
2326
02:09:30,638 --> 02:09:33,926
Jeez, if she'd done that, he wouldn't
tell us he was glad about it, would he?
2327
02:09:33,933 --> 02:09:36,800
You know her better than that, Larry.
You know she'd never commit suicide.
2328
02:09:36,811 --> 02:09:39,143
- She's like you. She'll hang onto life...
- What about you?
2329
02:09:39,146 --> 02:09:41,853
B'god, if you had any guts or decency...
2330
02:09:41,857 --> 02:09:45,145
I'd take that hop off the fire escape
you're too yellow to take.
2331
02:09:45,152 --> 02:09:47,438
- No. I'm done judging.
- Yeah, I suppose you'd like that.
2332
02:09:47,446 --> 02:09:49,687
What the hell's all this about?
2333
02:09:49,699 --> 02:09:51,815
What do you know about hickey's wife?
2334
02:09:51,826 --> 02:09:53,817
- How do you know she didn't...
- He doesn't.
2335
02:09:53,828 --> 02:09:56,410
Hickey's addled
the little brains he's got.
2336
02:09:56,414 --> 02:09:58,746
Shove him back to his table, rocky.
I'm sick of him.
2337
02:09:58,749 --> 02:10:01,286
You heard Larry, so move, quick.
2338
02:10:05,881 --> 02:10:07,997
Gee, Larry,
2339
02:10:08,009 --> 02:10:11,376
that's a hell of a way to treat me
after I've trusted you,
2340
02:10:11,387 --> 02:10:13,343
when I need your help.
2341
02:10:19,603 --> 02:10:21,685
Jeez.
2342
02:10:21,689 --> 02:10:23,850
If she committed suicide,
2343
02:10:23,858 --> 02:10:26,190
you gotta feel sorry for hickey, huh?
2344
02:10:26,193 --> 02:10:28,559
You can understand how he'd go bughouse
2345
02:10:28,571 --> 02:10:32,860
and not be responsible for
all the crazy stunts he's stagin' here.
2346
02:10:32,867 --> 02:10:37,782
But how can you be sorry for him
when he says he's glad she croaked?
2347
02:10:37,788 --> 02:10:39,870
Aw, nuts!
2348
02:10:39,874 --> 02:10:42,832
You don't get nowhere
trying to figure his game.
2349
02:10:42,835 --> 02:10:44,700
But I know this.
2350
02:10:44,712 --> 02:10:47,795
He better lay off of me and my stable.
2351
02:10:47,798 --> 02:10:50,414
Oh, jeez, Larry.
2352
02:10:50,426 --> 02:10:52,792
What a night them two pigs give me.
2353
02:10:54,013 --> 02:10:56,095
When the party went dead,
2354
02:10:56,098 --> 02:10:59,761
they pinched a couple of bottles
and brung it up to their room.
2355
02:10:59,769 --> 02:11:02,101
I don't get a wink of sleep, see?
2356
02:11:02,104 --> 02:11:04,311
Just as I'd dropped off
on that chair there,
2357
02:11:04,315 --> 02:11:06,397
they come down looking for trouble.
2358
02:11:06,400 --> 02:11:09,642
Or else they raise hell upstairs,
laughin' and singin',
2359
02:11:09,653 --> 02:11:12,520
so that I get scared
they'd get the joint pinched
2360
02:11:12,531 --> 02:11:15,238
and go up to tell 'em to can the noise.
2361
02:11:15,242 --> 02:11:18,951
And every time they crawl my frame
with the same old argument.
2362
02:11:18,954 --> 02:11:24,039
They'd say, "so you agree with hickey,
do you, you dirty little Guinea?
2363
02:11:24,043 --> 02:11:25,999
So we're whores, are we?
2364
02:11:26,003 --> 02:11:28,870
Well, we agree with hickey about you, see.
2365
02:11:28,881 --> 02:11:31,372
You're nothin' but a lousy pimp!"
2366
02:11:31,384 --> 02:11:33,375
Then I'd slap them.
2367
02:11:33,386 --> 02:11:35,297
But it don't do no good.
2368
02:11:35,304 --> 02:11:37,386
They keep at it over and over.
2369
02:11:37,390 --> 02:11:41,099
Jeez, I get the earache
just thinkin' of it.
2370
02:11:41,102 --> 02:11:43,013
"Listen," they'd say,
2371
02:11:43,020 --> 02:11:46,558
"if we're whores,
we got a right to have a regular pimp
2372
02:11:46,565 --> 02:11:49,272
and not stand for no punk imitation.
2373
02:11:49,276 --> 02:11:51,483
We're sick of wearing out our dogs
2374
02:11:51,487 --> 02:11:54,979
poundin' the sidewalks
for a double-crossin' bartender,
2375
02:11:54,990 --> 02:11:58,403
when all the thanks we get
is he looks down on us.
2376
02:11:58,411 --> 02:12:01,995
Don't expect us to work tonight
'cause we won't, see,
2377
02:12:01,997 --> 02:12:04,909
not if the streets
were blocked with sailors.
2378
02:12:04,917 --> 02:12:07,329
We're goin' on strike."
2379
02:12:07,336 --> 02:12:10,373
Whores goin' on strike. Can you tie that?
2380
02:12:11,924 --> 02:12:14,791
They'd say, "we're takin' a holiday.
2381
02:12:14,802 --> 02:12:18,135
We're gonna beat it to coney island
and shoot the chutes,
2382
02:12:18,139 --> 02:12:20,972
and maybe we'll come back
and maybe we won't.
2383
02:12:20,975 --> 02:12:23,182
And you can go to hell."
2384
02:12:23,185 --> 02:12:25,676
So they put on their lids and beat it.
2385
02:12:25,688 --> 02:12:27,474
The both of them stinko.
2386
02:12:29,191 --> 02:12:32,854
Hey, rocky.
Cora wants a Sherry flip for her nerves.
2387
02:12:32,862 --> 02:12:36,525
Sherry flip! Christ, she don't
need nothin' for her nerve.
2388
02:12:36,532 --> 02:12:38,488
What's she think this is, the Waldorf?
2389
02:12:38,492 --> 02:12:40,403
Yeah, I told her,
what would we use for Sherry?
2390
02:12:40,411 --> 02:12:42,697
And there wasn't no egg
unless she laid one.
2391
02:12:42,705 --> 02:12:47,290
She says, "is there a law you can't go out
and buy the makings, you big tramp?"
2392
02:12:47,293 --> 02:12:50,000
Aw, the hell with her.
She'll drink booze or nothin'.
2393
02:12:50,004 --> 02:12:51,835
Oh, jeez.
2394
02:12:51,839 --> 02:12:55,707
A guy oughta give his bride anything she
wants on her wedding day, I should think.
2395
02:12:55,718 --> 02:12:57,674
Ha! Pipe the bridegroom, Larry.
2396
02:12:57,678 --> 02:12:59,919
- All dolled up for the killin'.
- Shut up.
2397
02:12:59,930 --> 02:13:02,592
Ah, one week on that farm in Jersey.
2398
02:13:02,600 --> 02:13:04,306
That's what I'll give ya.
2399
02:13:04,310 --> 02:13:07,802
Then you'll come running here some night
yelling for a shot of booze
2400
02:13:07,813 --> 02:13:09,895
because the crickets is after you.
2401
02:13:09,899 --> 02:13:11,810
Oh, jeez, Chuck.
2402
02:13:11,817 --> 02:13:15,605
That louse hickey certainly made
a prize couple of suckers outta youse.
2403
02:13:16,739 --> 02:13:19,230
I'd like to give him one sock in the puss.
2404
02:13:19,241 --> 02:13:20,697
Just one.
2405
02:13:21,785 --> 02:13:23,650
Can that. What's he got to do with it?
2406
02:13:23,662 --> 02:13:25,869
Anyway, we said we was gonna,
so we're gonna, see.
2407
02:13:25,873 --> 02:13:27,454
Don't give me no argument.
2408
02:13:27,458 --> 02:13:29,198
If only Cora'd cut out the beefin'.
2409
02:13:29,210 --> 02:13:31,041
She don't give me
a minute's rest all night.
2410
02:13:31,045 --> 02:13:33,127
It's the same old stuff over and over.
2411
02:13:33,130 --> 02:13:35,121
Do I really wanna marry her?
2412
02:13:35,132 --> 02:13:36,918
I said, "sure, baby. Why not?"
2413
02:13:36,926 --> 02:13:40,089
"Yeah," she says, "but after a week,
you'll be thinkin' what a sap you was.
2414
02:13:40,095 --> 02:13:42,302
You'll make that an excuse
to go off on a periodical,
2415
02:13:42,306 --> 02:13:44,547
and I'll be tied for life
to a no-good soak,
2416
02:13:44,558 --> 02:13:47,095
and the first thing I know,
you'll have me out hustlin' again.
2417
02:13:47,102 --> 02:13:48,467
Your own wifel"
2418
02:13:48,479 --> 02:13:50,936
and she bust out cryin', and I'd get sore.
2419
02:13:50,940 --> 02:13:52,646
"You're a liar," I tells her.
2420
02:13:52,650 --> 02:13:55,938
"I ain't never taken your dough
except when I was drunk and not workin'."
2421
02:13:55,945 --> 02:13:58,561
"Yeah?" she says,
"and how long will you stay sober now?
2422
02:13:58,572 --> 02:14:00,608
Don't think you can kid me
with that water-wagon bull.
2423
02:14:00,616 --> 02:14:02,322
I've heard it too often."
2424
02:14:02,326 --> 02:14:05,193
That'd make me sore and I'd say,
"don't call me a liar.
2425
02:14:05,204 --> 02:14:07,160
But I wish I was drunk right now
2426
02:14:07,164 --> 02:14:10,076
because if I was, you wouldn't be
keeping me awake all night, beefin'.
2427
02:14:10,084 --> 02:14:12,666
You open your yap,
I'd knock the stuffings out of you!"
2428
02:14:12,670 --> 02:14:17,164
Then she'd yell, "that's a sweet way
to talk to the girl you're gonna marry."
2429
02:14:17,174 --> 02:14:20,166
Jeez, she's got me hanging on the ropes.
2430
02:14:23,222 --> 02:14:26,214
Jeez, would I like to get a quart
of that redeye under my belt.
2431
02:14:26,225 --> 02:14:27,681
Well, why the hell don't you?
2432
02:14:29,228 --> 02:14:31,389
Sure, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
2433
02:14:31,397 --> 02:14:33,012
I'm wise to you.
2434
02:14:33,023 --> 02:14:36,311
You don't want to see me get married
and settle down like a regular guy.
2435
02:14:36,318 --> 02:14:40,231
You'd like me to stay paralyzed all the
time, so's I'd be like you, a lousy pimp!
2436
02:14:40,239 --> 02:14:42,855
Listen, I don't take that
even from you, see!
2437
02:14:42,866 --> 02:14:45,573
Yeah? You wanna make something of it?
Don't make me laugh!
2438
02:14:45,578 --> 02:14:47,443
I could lick ten of youse with one mitt!
2439
02:14:47,454 --> 02:14:49,240
Not with lead in your belly, you won't!
2440
02:14:49,248 --> 02:14:52,536
Hey, rocky and Chuck! Cut it out!
2441
02:14:52,543 --> 02:14:54,499
Don't let that hickey make you crazy.
2442
02:14:54,503 --> 02:14:57,245
- Keep outta our business!
- Stay where you belong, you dirty nigger!
2443
02:14:57,256 --> 02:15:00,714
You white sons of bitches!
I'll rip your guts out!
2444
02:15:00,718 --> 02:15:04,631
That's it! Murder each other,
you damned loons, with hickey's blessing!
2445
02:15:04,638 --> 02:15:06,879
Didn't I tell you
he'd brought death with him?
2446
02:15:08,017 --> 02:15:11,305
All right, you. Let go of that shiv.
2447
02:15:11,312 --> 02:15:13,803
And I'll put this gat away.
2448
02:15:24,116 --> 02:15:26,607
Hello, little people!
2449
02:15:26,619 --> 02:15:28,701
Never mind!
2450
02:15:28,704 --> 02:15:31,662
Soon you will eat hot dogs
2451
02:15:31,665 --> 02:15:33,826
beneath the Willow trees
2452
02:15:33,834 --> 02:15:36,166
and drink free wine.
2453
02:15:38,130 --> 02:15:42,339
The champagne was not properly iced.
2454
02:15:42,343 --> 02:15:44,334
Goddamned liar hickey!
2455
02:15:44,345 --> 02:15:47,883
Does that prove I want to be aristocrat?
2456
02:15:47,890 --> 02:15:50,757
I love only the proletariat.
2457
02:15:50,768 --> 02:15:52,759
I will lead them.
2458
02:15:52,770 --> 02:15:55,933
I will be like a god to them!
2459
02:15:55,939 --> 02:15:57,895
They will be my slaves!
2460
02:16:08,827 --> 02:16:11,113
I'm very drunk, no, Larry?
2461
02:16:11,121 --> 02:16:13,783
I talk foolishness.
2462
02:16:13,791 --> 02:16:16,999
I'm so drunk, Larry, old friend, am I not?
I don't know what I say.
2463
02:16:18,337 --> 02:16:20,498
I've never seen you so paralyzed.
2464
02:16:21,590 --> 02:16:23,546
Lay your head on the table
and sleep it off.
2465
02:16:23,550 --> 02:16:25,006
Yeah.
2466
02:16:25,010 --> 02:16:27,592
I should sleep.
2467
02:16:27,596 --> 02:16:29,928
I'm too crazy drunk.
2468
02:16:42,069 --> 02:16:43,934
You're right, Larry.
2469
02:16:48,033 --> 02:16:50,900
Bad luck come in the door
the day hickey come.
2470
02:16:52,538 --> 02:16:55,280
I'm an old gambling man,
2471
02:16:55,290 --> 02:16:57,872
and I knows bad luck when I feels it.
2472
02:16:59,128 --> 02:17:01,494
But it's white man's bad luck.
2473
02:17:02,965 --> 02:17:04,921
He can't jinx me.
2474
02:17:10,764 --> 02:17:14,473
The bread's cut,
and I done finished my job.
2475
02:17:15,853 --> 02:17:17,969
Now do I get the drink I earned?
2476
02:17:20,983 --> 02:17:22,689
Here's the key to my room.
2477
02:17:24,153 --> 02:17:25,893
I ain't coming back!
2478
02:17:25,904 --> 02:17:28,361
I'm going to my own folks where I belong.
2479
02:17:28,365 --> 02:17:31,949
I'm sick and tired
of messing around with white men.
2480
02:17:33,871 --> 02:17:35,452
What the hell!
2481
02:17:35,456 --> 02:17:38,243
I'm only saving you the trouble,
white boy!
2482
02:17:38,250 --> 02:17:41,037
Now you don't have to break it
soon as my back's turned,
2483
02:17:41,044 --> 02:17:45,458
so's no white man can kick
about drinkin' from the same glass.
2484
02:17:45,466 --> 02:17:50,301
I'm tired of loafin' around
with a lot of bums.
2485
02:17:50,304 --> 02:17:52,090
I'm a gambling man.
2486
02:17:52,097 --> 02:17:56,136
I'm gonna get in a big crap game
and win me a big bankroll.
2487
02:17:56,143 --> 02:18:01,263
Then I gets the okay to open up
my own gambling house for colored men.
2488
02:18:01,273 --> 02:18:04,060
And then maybe I comes back here sometimes
2489
02:18:04,067 --> 02:18:06,149
to see the bums.
2490
02:18:06,153 --> 02:18:09,862
And maybe I'll throws
a $20 bill down on the bar
2491
02:18:09,865 --> 02:18:11,947
and says, "drink it up”
2492
02:18:11,950 --> 02:18:14,532
and listen when they all
pat me on the back
2493
02:18:14,536 --> 02:18:16,697
and say, "Joe, you sure is white."
2494
02:18:16,705 --> 02:18:20,948
But I'll say, "no, I'm black,
and my dough is black man's dough,
2495
02:18:20,959 --> 02:18:24,543
and you's proud to drink with me
or you don't get no drink!"
2496
02:18:24,546 --> 02:18:28,004
Or maybe I just says,
"you can all go to hell.
2497
02:18:31,261 --> 02:18:34,628
I don't lower myself
drinkin' with no white trash."
2498
02:18:36,850 --> 02:18:39,216
And that ain't no pipe dream.
2499
02:18:39,228 --> 02:18:42,812
I'll get the money for my stake today,
somewhere, somehow.
2500
02:18:42,815 --> 02:18:46,774
If I have to borrow a gun
and stick up some white man, I gets it!
2501
02:18:51,740 --> 02:18:53,446
You wait and see.
2502
02:19:00,707 --> 02:19:04,040
Can you beat the nerve of that dinge?
2503
02:19:04,044 --> 02:19:07,286
Jeez, if I wasn't dressed up,
I'd go out and mop up the street with him.
2504
02:19:07,297 --> 02:19:10,209
Oh, let him go. The poor old dope.
2505
02:19:10,217 --> 02:19:12,503
Him and his gambling house.
2506
02:19:12,511 --> 02:19:15,503
He'll be back tonight,
asking Harry for his room
2507
02:19:15,514 --> 02:19:17,596
and bummin' me for a ball.
2508
02:19:17,599 --> 02:19:20,181
Then I'll be the one to smash the glass.
2509
02:19:20,185 --> 02:19:22,551
I'll learn him his place.
2510
02:19:22,563 --> 02:19:24,519
Another guy all dolled up.
2511
02:19:27,860 --> 02:19:30,272
Got your clothes from solly's,
huh, Willie?
2512
02:19:30,279 --> 02:19:32,440
Now you can sell it back
to him again tomorrow.
2513
02:19:32,447 --> 02:19:34,904
No, I-I'm through with that stuff.
2514
02:19:34,908 --> 02:19:38,150
You look sick, Willie. Here.
Take a ball. Pick you up.
2515
02:19:38,161 --> 02:19:39,947
No, thanks.
2516
02:19:39,955 --> 02:19:42,321
The only way to stop is to stop.
2517
02:19:42,332 --> 02:19:45,369
I'd have no chance if I went
to the da's office smelling of booze.
2518
02:19:45,377 --> 02:19:46,958
You're really going there?
2519
02:19:46,962 --> 02:19:49,044
I said I was, didn't I?
2520
02:19:49,047 --> 02:19:53,131
I just came back here
to rest for a few minutes.
2521
02:19:53,135 --> 02:19:55,342
I'll show that cheap drummer.
2522
02:19:55,345 --> 02:19:57,301
I don't need to have any Dutch courage.
2523
02:20:00,475 --> 02:20:04,684
Well, he's, uh...
He's been very kind and generous,
2524
02:20:04,688 --> 02:20:06,144
staking me.
2525
02:20:07,733 --> 02:20:11,396
You know, my... my legs are a bit shaky.
2526
02:20:11,403 --> 02:20:13,564
I'd better sit down a while.
2527
02:20:27,794 --> 02:20:29,284
Here's another one.
2528
02:20:29,296 --> 02:20:32,003
Hey, good morning, gentlemen, all.
2529
02:20:40,349 --> 02:20:43,386
And a jolly good morning it is too.
2530
02:20:45,312 --> 02:20:48,679
An eye-opener?
I think not, rocky, old chum.
2531
02:20:48,690 --> 02:20:51,853
Uh, not required, you know.
2532
02:20:51,860 --> 02:20:54,772
Feel extremely fit, as a matter of fact.
2533
02:20:54,780 --> 02:20:58,648
Can't say that I slept much though,
thanks to that interfering ass hickey
2534
02:20:58,659 --> 02:21:01,901
and that stupid bounder of a boer.
2535
02:21:01,912 --> 02:21:04,654
I-I've had about all
I can take from that fellow.
2536
02:21:04,665 --> 02:21:06,997
Oh, well. It's my own fault, I suppose,
2537
02:21:07,000 --> 02:21:09,992
for allowing a brute
of a Dutch farmer to become familiar.
2538
02:21:11,254 --> 02:21:14,337
Well, it's come to a parting of the ways.
2539
02:21:14,341 --> 02:21:16,582
And jolly good riddance.
2540
02:21:16,593 --> 02:21:19,505
Oh, that reminds me.
2541
02:21:19,513 --> 02:21:21,094
Here's my key.
2542
02:21:21,098 --> 02:21:23,054
I shan't be coming back.
2543
02:21:25,978 --> 02:21:29,266
Sorry to be leaving good old Harry
and the rest of you, of course,
2544
02:21:29,272 --> 02:21:33,436
but I-I simply cannot continue to live
under the same roof with that fellow.
2545
02:21:33,443 --> 02:21:36,105
So hickey's kidded
the pants off of you too?
2546
02:21:36,113 --> 02:21:37,899
You think you're leaving here, huh?
2547
02:21:37,906 --> 02:21:39,988
Ja.
2548
02:21:39,992 --> 02:21:41,983
That's what he kids himself.
2549
02:21:43,912 --> 02:21:46,153
Yes, I'm leaving, rocky.
2550
02:21:46,164 --> 02:21:48,826
Not that that ass hickey
has anything to do with it.
2551
02:21:48,834 --> 02:21:50,825
B-been thinking things over, you know.
2552
02:21:50,836 --> 02:21:53,122
Time I turned over a new leaf.
2553
02:21:53,130 --> 02:21:55,837
He's gonna get a job. That's what he says.
2554
02:21:55,841 --> 02:21:57,547
What at, for chrissake?
2555
02:21:57,551 --> 02:22:00,793
Oh, anything. Not manual labor, of course.
2556
02:22:00,804 --> 02:22:04,672
Uh, anything that calls
for a bit of brains and education.
2557
02:22:04,683 --> 02:22:07,049
I'll see a pal of mine at the consulate.
2558
02:22:07,060 --> 02:22:09,346
He promised me whenever
I felt an energetic fit,
2559
02:22:09,354 --> 02:22:11,640
he'd get me a post with the cunard.
2560
02:22:11,648 --> 02:22:14,856
Uh, clerk in the office
or something of that kind.
2561
02:22:14,860 --> 02:22:19,229
Ja, at limey consulate,
they promise anything to get rid of him,
2562
02:22:19,239 --> 02:22:21,696
when he comes there drunk.
2563
02:22:21,700 --> 02:22:25,033
They're scared to call the police
and have him pinched
2564
02:22:25,037 --> 02:22:27,403
because it would scandal
in the papers make
2565
02:22:27,414 --> 02:22:30,531
about limey officer and gentleman.
2566
02:22:32,294 --> 02:22:34,785
I only need the post temporarily, rocky.
2567
02:22:34,796 --> 02:22:36,707
Means to an end, you know.
2568
02:22:36,715 --> 02:22:40,799
Save enough for a passage...
Uh, first-class passage home.
2569
02:22:40,802 --> 02:22:42,667
That's the bright idea.
2570
02:22:42,679 --> 02:22:47,013
Ha! He's sailing back to home sweet home.
2571
02:22:47,017 --> 02:22:50,305
That's biggest pipe dream of all.
2572
02:22:51,646 --> 02:22:56,390
What little brain the poor limey has left
that isn't in whiskey pickled,
2573
02:22:56,401 --> 02:22:58,016
hickey has made crazy.
2574
02:22:58,028 --> 02:23:00,314
Hickey ain't made no sucker
out of you, huh?
2575
02:23:00,322 --> 02:23:02,904
You're too foxy, huh?
2576
02:23:02,908 --> 02:23:05,695
But I bet you think you're goin' out
and landing a job too.
2577
02:23:05,702 --> 02:23:07,442
I am, ja!
2578
02:23:07,454 --> 02:23:12,118
For me it is easy because
I put on no airs of gentleman.
2579
02:23:12,125 --> 02:23:14,912
I'm not ashamed to work with my hands.
2580
02:23:14,920 --> 02:23:17,502
I was a farmer before the war
2581
02:23:17,506 --> 02:23:22,091
when bloody limey thieves
steal my country.
2582
02:23:22,094 --> 02:23:26,053
Anyone I ask for job can see with one look
2583
02:23:26,056 --> 02:23:30,846
I have the great strength
to do work of ten ordinary mens.
2584
02:23:30,852 --> 02:23:33,844
Yes, you remember, Chuck,
he gave us a demonstration
2585
02:23:33,855 --> 02:23:36,813
of his extraordinary muscles last night
2586
02:23:36,817 --> 02:23:39,024
when he helped to move the piano.
2587
02:23:39,027 --> 02:23:41,188
You couldn't even hold up your corner.
2588
02:23:41,196 --> 02:23:43,812
It was your fault
the damn box almost fell over.
2589
02:23:43,824 --> 02:23:45,815
My hands were sweaty.
2590
02:23:45,826 --> 02:23:48,317
Could I help that my hands slip?
2591
02:23:48,328 --> 02:23:50,569
I could the whole weight of it lift.
2592
02:23:50,580 --> 02:23:55,290
In old days in transvaal,
I lift loaded oxcart by the axle.
2593
02:23:55,293 --> 02:23:58,251
So, why shouldn't I get job?
2594
02:23:58,255 --> 02:24:00,917
That longshoreman boss, Dan,
2595
02:24:00,924 --> 02:24:03,085
he tell me anytime I like,
2596
02:24:03,093 --> 02:24:05,004
he take me on.
2597
02:24:05,011 --> 02:24:08,003
And Benny from the market,
he promise me same.
2598
02:24:08,014 --> 02:24:11,552
You remember, rocky,
it was one of those rare occasions
2599
02:24:11,560 --> 02:24:14,267
when the boor that walks like a man...
2600
02:24:14,271 --> 02:24:16,683
Spelled with a double-o, by the way...
2601
02:24:16,690 --> 02:24:19,932
Was buying drinks
when Dan and Ben were stony.
2602
02:24:19,943 --> 02:24:22,855
They'd have promised him the bloody moon.
2603
02:24:22,863 --> 02:24:26,321
Yeah, you big boob.
Them birds was only kidding you.
2604
02:24:26,324 --> 02:24:29,612
That's lie! You will see.
This morning I get job.
2605
02:24:29,619 --> 02:24:33,111
I'll show that bloody limey gentleman
2606
02:24:33,123 --> 02:24:35,364
and that liar hickey.
2607
02:24:35,375 --> 02:24:37,991
And I need work only little while
2608
02:24:38,003 --> 02:24:40,494
to save money for my passage home.
2609
02:24:40,505 --> 02:24:45,875
I need not much money because
I am not ashamed to travel steerage.
2610
02:24:45,886 --> 02:24:50,550
I don't put on first-cabin airs!
2611
02:24:50,557 --> 02:24:54,266
Und I can go home to my country!
2612
02:24:54,269 --> 02:24:59,184
When I get there,
they will let me come in!
2613
02:24:59,191 --> 02:25:01,477
There was a rumor in South Africa
2614
02:25:01,484 --> 02:25:03,645
that a certain boer officer...
2615
02:25:03,653 --> 02:25:08,022
If you can call the leaders
of a rabble of Dutch farmers officers...
2616
02:25:08,033 --> 02:25:10,615
He kept advising cronjé to retreat
2617
02:25:10,619 --> 02:25:12,985
and not stand and fight.
2618
02:25:12,996 --> 02:25:14,952
And I was right. I was right.
2619
02:25:14,956 --> 02:25:17,242
He got surrounded at paardeberg.
2620
02:25:17,250 --> 02:25:19,332
He had to surrender.
2621
02:25:19,336 --> 02:25:21,577
Good strategy, no doubt.
2622
02:25:21,588 --> 02:25:24,955
But a suspicion grew afterwards
2623
02:25:24,966 --> 02:25:27,207
into a conviction among the boers
2624
02:25:27,219 --> 02:25:29,380
that the officer's caution was prompted
2625
02:25:29,387 --> 02:25:32,595
by a desire for his personal escape.
2626
02:25:32,599 --> 02:25:36,717
His countrymen
were extremely savage about it.
2627
02:25:36,728 --> 02:25:38,969
And his family disowned him.
2628
02:25:38,980 --> 02:25:44,225
So I imagine there won't be any
welcoming committee waiting on the dock,
2629
02:25:44,236 --> 02:25:48,104
n-nor any delighted relatives
making the veldt ring
2630
02:25:48,114 --> 02:25:51,982
with their happy cries
of "welcome home, general!"
2631
02:25:51,993 --> 02:25:55,531
All lies, you goddamned limey!
2632
02:25:59,084 --> 02:26:01,917
I also have heard rumors
of a limey officer
2633
02:26:01,920 --> 02:26:06,254
who, after the war,
lost all his money gambling
2634
02:26:06,258 --> 02:26:08,169
when he was drunk.
2635
02:26:08,176 --> 02:26:11,964
But they found out
it was regiment money too he lost!
2636
02:26:11,972 --> 02:26:13,963
- Why, you bloody Dutch so...
- Cut it out!
2637
02:26:13,974 --> 02:26:15,635
Let him come!
2638
02:26:15,642 --> 02:26:17,678
I saw them come before
2639
02:26:17,686 --> 02:26:20,302
at modder river, magersfontein,
2640
02:26:20,313 --> 02:26:22,019
spion kopje,
2641
02:26:22,023 --> 02:26:24,184
waving their silly swords,
2642
02:26:24,192 --> 02:26:28,401
so afraid they couldn't show
how brave they was!
2643
02:26:28,405 --> 02:26:32,239
And I killed them with mein rifle so easy!
2644
02:26:32,242 --> 02:26:34,654
Listen to me, you Cecil!
2645
02:26:34,661 --> 02:26:37,152
Often when I'm drunk and kidding you,
2646
02:26:37,163 --> 02:26:39,575
I say I'm sorry I missed you.
2647
02:26:39,582 --> 02:26:43,245
But now, by god, I am sober,
2648
02:26:43,253 --> 02:26:45,244
and I don't joke, and I say...
2649
02:26:45,255 --> 02:26:48,088
You can't say hickey hasn't got
the miraculous touch to raise the dead
2650
02:26:48,091 --> 02:26:50,582
when he can start
the boer war raging again!
2651
02:26:53,638 --> 02:26:58,132
Yes, well, I-it's time
I was on my merry way.
2652
02:26:58,143 --> 02:27:00,725
Early bird catches the job, what!
2653
02:27:00,729 --> 02:27:03,436
Uh, good... good-bye and good luck, rocky.
2654
02:27:03,440 --> 02:27:05,305
And the rest of you.
2655
02:27:09,321 --> 02:27:10,902
By god.
2656
02:27:10,905 --> 02:27:13,612
If that limey can go,
2657
02:27:13,616 --> 02:27:15,072
I can go.
2658
02:27:24,169 --> 02:27:25,830
Well, why don't you beat it?
2659
02:27:25,837 --> 02:27:27,748
Uh... uh... _eh?
2660
02:27:27,756 --> 02:27:30,168
Oh, just... just been thinking.
2661
02:27:30,175 --> 02:27:34,259
Hardly the decent thing to push off
without saying good-bye to old Harry.
2662
02:27:34,262 --> 02:27:37,595
One of the best, old Harry.
And good old Jimmy.
2663
02:27:37,599 --> 02:27:40,591
Th-they ought to be down very soon.
2664
02:27:40,602 --> 02:27:42,558
Oh, I'm... I'm sorry.
2665
02:27:42,562 --> 02:27:45,349
I seem to be blocking your way out.
2666
02:27:47,025 --> 02:27:49,892
No, I-I will wait
2667
02:27:49,903 --> 02:27:52,815
to say good-bye to Harry too.
2668
02:27:54,824 --> 02:27:56,860
Jeez, can you beat them simps?
2669
02:27:58,078 --> 02:28:00,194
Hell, I forgot Cora.
She'll be throwin' a fit!
2670
02:28:00,205 --> 02:28:04,244
That's right.
Wait on her and spoil her, you poor sap!
2671
02:28:07,962 --> 02:28:12,001
Look here, parritt.
I'd like to have a talk with you.
2672
02:28:12,008 --> 02:28:14,624
- About what?
- About the trouble you're in.
2673
02:28:14,636 --> 02:28:17,594
I know, I know. You don't admit it,
and you're quite right.
2674
02:28:17,597 --> 02:28:19,588
That's my advice. Deny everything.
2675
02:28:19,599 --> 02:28:21,385
Say, what the hell are you accusing me of?
2676
02:28:21,393 --> 02:28:24,180
Make no statements whatever
without consulting your attorney.
2677
02:28:24,187 --> 02:28:27,554
Keep your mouth shut.
Look, you can trust me. I'm a lawyer.
2678
02:28:27,565 --> 02:28:32,434
And it's occurred to me
that you and I ought to cooperate.
2679
02:28:32,445 --> 02:28:37,530
Of course, I'm going to see the da
this morning about a job on his staff.
2680
02:28:37,534 --> 02:28:39,946
But, uh, that may take time.
2681
02:28:39,953 --> 02:28:43,662
There may not be an immediate opening.
2682
02:28:43,665 --> 02:28:45,747
And meanwhile, it, um,
would be a good idea
2683
02:28:45,750 --> 02:28:48,992
for me to take a case or two on my own,
2684
02:28:49,003 --> 02:28:52,495
just to prove that
my brilliant record in law school
2685
02:28:52,507 --> 02:28:54,168
was no flash in the pan.
2686
02:28:54,175 --> 02:28:58,043
So, why not retain me as your attorney?
2687
02:28:58,054 --> 02:29:01,217
You're crazy.
What do I want with a lawyer?
2688
02:29:01,224 --> 02:29:04,842
Yeah, that's right. Don't admit anything.
2689
02:29:04,853 --> 02:29:08,016
But you can trust me,
so let's not beat about the bush.
2690
02:29:09,899 --> 02:29:11,890
You got in trouble out on the coast, huh?
2691
02:29:11,901 --> 02:29:15,064
Now, you're in hiding.
Any fool can spot that.
2692
02:29:15,071 --> 02:29:18,655
Y-you feel safe here,
and maybe you are, for a while.
2693
02:29:18,658 --> 02:29:20,649
But remember, they get you in the end.
2694
02:29:20,660 --> 02:29:23,151
I know, from my father's experience.
2695
02:29:23,163 --> 02:29:25,154
Nobody could have felt safer than he did.
2696
02:29:25,165 --> 02:29:28,202
When anybody mentioned the law to him,
he nearly died laughing.
2697
02:29:28,209 --> 02:29:30,666
- But...
- You crazy mutt.
2698
02:29:30,670 --> 02:29:32,831
You hear that, Larry?
2699
02:29:32,839 --> 02:29:36,297
This damn fool thinks
the cops are after me.
2700
02:29:37,594 --> 02:29:39,880
I wish to god they were.
2701
02:29:39,888 --> 02:29:42,220
And so should you,
if you had the honor of a louse.
2702
02:29:44,601 --> 02:29:46,592
You're the guy who kids himself
he's through with the movement.
2703
02:29:46,603 --> 02:29:48,093
You're still in love with it.
2704
02:29:48,104 --> 02:29:51,562
You're not in trouble, parritt?
I was hoping... never mind.
2705
02:29:51,566 --> 02:29:54,399
No... no offense meant, parritt.
2706
02:29:54,402 --> 02:29:56,859
That's all right, Willie.
2707
02:29:56,863 --> 02:30:00,731
I'm not sore at you. It's that damned
yellow faker that gets my goat.
2708
02:30:13,630 --> 02:30:17,623
I think I understand, Larry.
It's really mother you still love.
2709
02:30:17,634 --> 02:30:19,090
Isn't it?
2710
02:30:20,887 --> 02:30:23,128
In spite of that dirty deal she gave you.
2711
02:30:24,849 --> 02:30:26,555
What the hell did you expect?
2712
02:30:26,559 --> 02:30:29,642
She was never true to anyone
but herself and the movement.
2713
02:30:31,814 --> 02:30:35,272
But, Larry, I can understand
how you still can't help feeling...
2714
02:30:38,112 --> 02:30:41,229
See, because I still love her too.
2715
02:30:41,241 --> 02:30:45,109
So, you see, I couldn't have expected
they'd catch her, Larry.
2716
02:30:45,119 --> 02:30:46,859
You gotta believe me
that I only sold 'em out
2717
02:30:46,871 --> 02:30:48,953
to get a few lousy dollars
to blow on a whore.
2718
02:30:48,957 --> 02:30:50,538
There's no other reason, honest.
2719
02:30:50,542 --> 02:30:52,658
For the love of Christ,
will you leave me in peace!
2720
02:30:52,669 --> 02:30:54,955
If you don't keep still,
2721
02:30:54,963 --> 02:30:58,251
you'll be saying something soon
that'll make you vomit your own soul
2722
02:30:58,258 --> 02:31:01,091
like a drink of nickel rotgut
that won't stay down!
2723
02:31:01,094 --> 02:31:03,801
- Larry, don't go! You gotta help me!
- Set 'em up, rocky.
2724
02:31:03,805 --> 02:31:06,592
I swore I'd have no more drinks on hickey
if I died of drought,
2725
02:31:06,599 --> 02:31:08,305
but I changed my mind.
2726
02:31:08,309 --> 02:31:10,265
B'god, he owed it to me.
2727
02:31:16,234 --> 02:31:18,850
I'd be blind to the world now
2728
02:31:18,861 --> 02:31:21,443
if it was the iceman of death
himself treating.
2729
02:31:25,118 --> 02:31:28,030
What made me say that, I wonder.
2730
02:31:28,037 --> 02:31:30,528
Well, b'god, it fits,
2731
02:31:30,540 --> 02:31:33,031
for death was the iceman
that hickey called to his home.
2732
02:31:33,042 --> 02:31:35,579
Oh, forget the iceman gag.
2733
02:31:35,587 --> 02:31:37,543
The poor dame is dead.
2734
02:31:37,547 --> 02:31:39,708
Go on and get paralyzed.
2735
02:31:39,716 --> 02:31:43,083
I'll be glad to see one bum
in this dump act natural.
2736
02:31:48,600 --> 02:31:50,682
Come and sit here, Mac.
2737
02:31:50,685 --> 02:31:52,596
You're just the man I want to see.
2738
02:31:52,604 --> 02:31:55,767
If I'm to take your case,
we ought to have a talk before we leave.
2739
02:31:55,773 --> 02:31:59,015
There'll be no talk. You damned fool.
2740
02:31:59,027 --> 02:32:01,689
Do you think I'd have
your father's son for my lawyer?
2741
02:32:01,696 --> 02:32:03,857
- Mmm.
- They'd take one look at you
2742
02:32:03,865 --> 02:32:06,026
and bounce us both out on our necks.
2743
02:32:06,034 --> 02:32:07,865
I don't need a lawyer anyway.
2744
02:32:07,869 --> 02:32:09,905
Hell with the law.
2745
02:32:09,912 --> 02:32:13,279
All I've got to do is see the right ones,
2746
02:32:13,291 --> 02:32:15,282
get them to pass the word.
2747
02:32:15,293 --> 02:32:17,079
They will too.
2748
02:32:17,086 --> 02:32:19,042
They know I was framed.
2749
02:32:20,089 --> 02:32:22,080
And once the word is passed,
2750
02:32:22,091 --> 02:32:24,548
it's as good as done, law or no law!
2751
02:32:26,763 --> 02:32:28,219
Here's my key, rocky.
2752
02:32:29,766 --> 02:32:31,427
I'd rather sleep in the gutter
2753
02:32:31,434 --> 02:32:34,847
than spend another night
under the same roof as that drummer.
2754
02:32:34,854 --> 02:32:38,096
- Son of a drummer.
- All you birds give me a pain.
2755
02:32:38,107 --> 02:32:42,271
It'd serve you right if I wouldn't give
the keys back to you tonight.
2756
02:32:44,322 --> 02:32:45,778
Hello, everybody!
2757
02:32:47,492 --> 02:32:49,403
Here we go!
2758
02:32:50,787 --> 02:32:54,154
Oh.
2759
02:32:54,165 --> 02:32:57,248
Well, h-hickey just told us,
ain't it time we beat it,
2760
02:32:57,251 --> 02:32:59,082
if we was really going.
2761
02:32:59,087 --> 02:33:02,375
So we're showing the bastard,
ain't we, honey?
2762
02:33:02,382 --> 02:33:05,749
He's coming right down
with Harry and Jimmy.
2763
02:33:05,760 --> 02:33:07,842
Jeez.
2764
02:33:07,845 --> 02:33:11,429
Them two look like
they was going to the electric chair.
2765
02:33:15,228 --> 02:33:19,312
Whoa. Well, let's get going, honey,
before he comes down.
2766
02:33:19,315 --> 02:33:22,022
- Sure. Anything you say, baby.
- Yeah?
2767
02:33:22,026 --> 02:33:25,439
Well, I say we stop
at the first regular dump,
2768
02:33:25,446 --> 02:33:30,566
and you gotta blow me to a Sherry flip...
Or four or five, if I want 'em.
2769
02:33:30,576 --> 02:33:33,739
- Or all bets is off.
- You got a fine bun on now.
2770
02:33:33,746 --> 02:33:36,237
Oh, cheapskate.
2771
02:33:36,249 --> 02:33:39,241
Here, use my money then
if you're so stingy.
2772
02:33:39,252 --> 02:33:41,914
You'll grab it all anyways
right after the ceremony.
2773
02:33:41,921 --> 02:33:43,377
I know you.
2774
02:33:43,381 --> 02:33:46,168
Here, you big tramp.
2775
02:33:46,175 --> 02:33:47,756
Keep your lousy dough,
2776
02:33:47,760 --> 02:33:49,842
and don't show your legs off to these bums
when you're gonna be married,
2777
02:33:49,846 --> 02:33:51,882
if you don't want a sock in the puss!
2778
02:33:51,889 --> 02:33:53,754
All right, honey.
2779
02:33:59,856 --> 02:34:04,190
Say, why don't all you barflies
come to the weddin'?
2780
02:34:12,326 --> 02:34:15,693
Well, we're going, guys.
2781
02:34:19,167 --> 02:34:21,453
Say, rocky, are you going deef?
2782
02:34:21,461 --> 02:34:23,873
I said me and Chuck was goin' now.
2783
02:34:23,880 --> 02:34:27,247
Well, good-bye. Give my love to Jersey.
2784
02:34:27,258 --> 02:34:31,592
Well, ain't you even gonna wish us
happiness, you dirty little Guinea?
2785
02:34:31,596 --> 02:34:33,552
Sure.
2786
02:34:33,556 --> 02:34:36,514
Here's hopin' you don't murder each other
before next week.
2787
02:34:36,517 --> 02:34:39,304
Baby, what do we care for that pimp?
2788
02:34:39,312 --> 02:34:41,598
- I think he's lying, Jimmy.
- Here's hickey coming.
2789
02:34:41,606 --> 02:34:43,642
Let's get out of here.
2790
02:34:44,776 --> 02:34:46,858
Grab his arm, Jimmy.
2791
02:34:54,452 --> 02:34:56,613
Well, here we are.
2792
02:34:56,621 --> 02:34:58,862
We got this far at least.
2793
02:34:58,873 --> 02:35:00,534
Good work, Jimmy.
2794
02:35:00,541 --> 02:35:02,907
I told you you weren't half as sick
as you pretended to be.
2795
02:35:02,919 --> 02:35:04,705
No excuse whatsoever for postponing, now.
2796
02:35:04,712 --> 02:35:08,375
Will you kindly keep
your hands to yourself?
2797
02:35:08,382 --> 02:35:11,340
I merely mentioned
I would feel more fit tomorrow.
2798
02:35:11,344 --> 02:35:13,209
But...
2799
02:35:13,221 --> 02:35:15,928
It might as well be today, I suppose.
2800
02:35:15,932 --> 02:35:19,220
Finish it now so it'll be dead forever
and you'll be free.
2801
02:35:19,227 --> 02:35:20,967
Now, cheer up, Harry.
2802
02:35:20,978 --> 02:35:23,640
You notice your rheumatism didn't bother
you coming down the stairs, did you?
2803
02:35:23,648 --> 02:35:25,513
You're the damnedest one
for alibis, governor.
2804
02:35:25,525 --> 02:35:26,890
I can't hear you.
2805
02:35:26,901 --> 02:35:30,940
You're a liar! I've had rheumatism
on and off for 20 years.
2806
02:35:30,947 --> 02:35:32,153
Ever since bessie died.
2807
02:35:32,156 --> 02:35:35,023
We all know it's the kind of rheumatism
you turn on and off.
2808
02:35:35,034 --> 02:35:37,776
We're on to you, you old faker.
2809
02:35:37,787 --> 02:35:41,405
B'jeez! What are all you bums
hanging around, staring at me for?
2810
02:35:41,415 --> 02:35:44,407
Why don't you get the hell out of here
and tend to your own business,
2811
02:35:44,418 --> 02:35:46,158
like hickey's told you!
2812
02:35:46,170 --> 02:35:48,081
Yes, Harry, I certainly thought
they would have had the guts
2813
02:35:48,089 --> 02:35:49,579
to have been gone by this time.
2814
02:35:51,008 --> 02:35:53,249
Or maybe I did have my doubts.
2815
02:35:53,261 --> 02:35:55,968
'Cause I know exactly
what you're up against, boys.
2816
02:35:55,972 --> 02:35:57,712
I know you turn into such a coward,
2817
02:35:57,723 --> 02:36:00,931
that you'll grab at any lousy excuse
not to kill your pipe dreams.
2818
02:36:00,935 --> 02:36:02,846
And yet, as I've said over and over again,
2819
02:36:02,854 --> 02:36:05,516
it's exactly those damned
lying tomorrow dreams
2820
02:36:05,523 --> 02:36:07,434
that keep you from making peace
with yourself.
2821
02:36:07,441 --> 02:36:09,727
So you've gotta kill them,
like I did mine.
2822
02:36:11,696 --> 02:36:14,688
Well, come on, boys. Get moving.
2823
02:36:14,699 --> 02:36:17,816
Well, who's gonna start the ball rolling?
2824
02:36:19,871 --> 02:36:22,487
Well, you, captain, and you, general.
You're nearest the door.
2825
02:36:22,498 --> 02:36:26,366
And besides, you're old war heroes.
You ought to lead this forlorn hope.
2826
02:36:26,377 --> 02:36:29,039
Show us a little of that old
battle of modder river spirit
2827
02:36:29,046 --> 02:36:30,752
we've heard so much about.
2828
02:36:30,756 --> 02:36:32,087
You can't hang around here all day
2829
02:36:32,091 --> 02:36:35,003
looking like you were scared
the street outside would bite you.
2830
02:36:35,011 --> 02:36:38,845
Right you are, Mr. nosy bloody Parker.
2831
02:36:38,848 --> 02:36:40,804
Time I pushed off.
2832
02:36:40,808 --> 02:36:44,141
I was only waiting to say good-bye
to you, Harry, old chum.
2833
02:36:45,771 --> 02:36:49,559
Good-bye, captain. Hope you have luck.
2834
02:36:49,567 --> 02:36:53,526
Oh, I'm bound to, old chap,
and the same to you.
2835
02:37:04,332 --> 02:37:07,540
By god, if that limey can, I can.
2836
02:37:16,844 --> 02:37:18,459
Well, next?
2837
02:37:19,764 --> 02:37:21,345
Come on, Mac.
2838
02:37:21,349 --> 02:37:23,340
It's a fine summer's day.
2839
02:37:36,030 --> 02:37:37,986
That's the stuff, Mac.
2840
02:37:45,456 --> 02:37:48,323
Good-bye, Harry.
Thanks for all your kindness.
2841
02:37:51,170 --> 02:37:53,252
That's the way, Willie.
2842
02:37:53,255 --> 02:37:55,917
Oh, the da's a busy man, Willie.
2843
02:37:55,925 --> 02:37:58,507
You can't keep him waiting all day,
you know.
2844
02:38:01,430 --> 02:38:03,386
Good luck, Willie.
2845
02:38:11,399 --> 02:38:12,980
Now it's your turn, Jimmy, old pal.
2846
02:38:16,612 --> 02:38:18,068
Jimmy.
2847
02:38:37,925 --> 02:38:40,632
You can't do that to yourself,
Jimmy, old pal.
2848
02:38:40,636 --> 02:38:44,254
One drink on top of your hangover
on an empty stomach, you'll be orey-eyed.
2849
02:38:44,265 --> 02:38:47,382
Tomorrow. I'll be in good shape tomorrow.
2850
02:38:51,522 --> 02:38:54,434
All right. I'm going.
2851
02:38:55,943 --> 02:38:57,899
Take your hands off me!
2852
02:39:04,410 --> 02:39:05,866
Dirty swine!
2853
02:39:09,165 --> 02:39:11,121
All set for an alcohol rub now.
2854
02:39:13,085 --> 02:39:14,950
Ah.
2855
02:39:14,962 --> 02:39:16,998
No hard feelings.
2856
02:39:17,006 --> 02:39:19,588
I know how he feels.
2857
02:39:19,592 --> 02:39:22,004
I wrote the book.
2858
02:39:22,011 --> 02:39:25,970
I've seen the day, if anybody forced me
to face the truth about my pipe dreams,
2859
02:39:25,973 --> 02:39:27,929
I'd have shot 'em dead.
2860
02:39:33,022 --> 02:39:35,138
Well, governor.
2861
02:39:35,149 --> 02:39:37,231
Jimmy made the grade. Now it's your turn.
2862
02:39:37,234 --> 02:39:40,351
Leave Harry alone. Damn you.
2863
02:39:40,362 --> 02:39:43,820
I'd make up my mind about myself,
if I were you, Larry,
2864
02:39:43,824 --> 02:39:45,360
and not bother over Harry.
2865
02:39:45,367 --> 02:39:47,608
He doesn't need anyone's bum pity.
Do you, governor?
2866
02:39:48,537 --> 02:39:50,152
No, b'jeez.
2867
02:39:50,164 --> 02:39:53,031
Keep your nose out of this, Larry.
2868
02:39:53,042 --> 02:39:56,205
I've always been going
to take this walk, ain't I?
2869
02:39:56,212 --> 02:39:59,875
You bums want to keep me locked up
in here as if I was in jail.
2870
02:39:59,882 --> 02:40:01,747
Well, I've stood it long enough.
2871
02:40:01,759 --> 02:40:04,546
I'll do as I damned please, b'jeez.
2872
02:40:04,553 --> 02:40:06,965
You keep your nose out too, hickey.
2873
02:40:06,972 --> 02:40:09,964
B'jeez, you'd think you was the boss
of this dump, and not me.
2874
02:40:11,936 --> 02:40:13,767
What the hell's to be scared of?
2875
02:40:13,771 --> 02:40:15,557
Sure, I'm all right.
2876
02:40:15,564 --> 02:40:18,397
Just taking a stroll around my own ward.
2877
02:40:18,400 --> 02:40:20,265
What's the weather like outside, rocky?
2878
02:40:20,277 --> 02:40:21,767
Fine day, boss.
2879
02:40:21,779 --> 02:40:23,690
What's that? I can't hear you.
2880
02:40:23,697 --> 02:40:25,653
Don't look fine to me.
2881
02:40:25,658 --> 02:40:28,616
Looks as if it'd pour down
cats and dogs any minute.
2882
02:40:28,619 --> 02:40:31,577
My rheumatis... oh! Must be my eyes.
2883
02:40:31,580 --> 02:40:33,616
Half blind, b'jeez.
2884
02:40:33,624 --> 02:40:37,583
Makes things look black.
I see now it's a fine day.
2885
02:40:38,963 --> 02:40:42,171
Too damned hot for a walk though,
if you ask me, yeah.
2886
02:40:42,174 --> 02:40:45,666
Well, do me good
to sweat the booze out of me.
2887
02:40:47,596 --> 02:40:50,303
But I'll have to watch out
for the damned automobiles.
2888
02:40:50,307 --> 02:40:52,889
Wasn't none of them around the last time.
2889
02:40:52,893 --> 02:40:54,679
From what I've seen through the window,
2890
02:40:54,687 --> 02:40:57,394
they'd run over you
as soon as look at you.
2891
02:40:57,398 --> 02:40:59,354
Well, so long.
2892
02:41:01,110 --> 02:41:04,352
Well, b'jeez, where are you, hickey?
It's time we got started.
2893
02:41:04,363 --> 02:41:08,322
No, no, Harry. Can't be done.
You gotta keep a date with yourself alone.
2894
02:41:08,325 --> 02:41:10,782
Hell of a guy you are.
2895
02:41:10,786 --> 02:41:14,153
Thought you'd be willing to help me
across the street, seeing I'm half blind.
2896
02:41:14,165 --> 02:41:16,998
Half deef too.
I can't hear those damned automobiles.
2897
02:41:17,001 --> 02:41:19,242
Oh, the hell with you!
2898
02:41:19,253 --> 02:41:22,290
I've never needed no one's help
and I don't now.
2899
02:41:22,298 --> 02:41:25,631
I'll take a good long walk
now I've started.
2900
02:41:25,634 --> 02:41:30,003
See all my old friends. B'jeez,
they must have given me up for dead.
2901
02:41:30,014 --> 02:41:33,131
They know it was grief
over bessie's death that made me...
2902
02:41:34,059 --> 02:41:36,926
Well, sooner I get started...
2903
02:41:36,937 --> 02:41:38,802
You know, hickey, that's what gets me.
2904
02:41:38,814 --> 02:41:42,682
I can't help thinking
that the last time I went out
2905
02:41:42,693 --> 02:41:44,854
was to bessie's funeral.
2906
02:41:44,862 --> 02:41:48,946
After she'd gone,
I didn't feel life was worth living.
2907
02:41:48,949 --> 02:41:52,533
I can't feel it's right for me to go,
even now, hickey.
2908
02:41:52,536 --> 02:41:54,868
It's like I was doing wrong to her memory.
2909
02:41:54,872 --> 02:41:58,615
Now, governor, you can't let yourself
get away with that one anymore.
2910
02:41:58,626 --> 02:42:00,958
What's that? I can't hear you.
2911
02:42:03,005 --> 02:42:07,169
B'jeez, I remember as clear as day
2912
02:42:07,176 --> 02:42:09,337
the last time before she...
2913
02:42:09,345 --> 02:42:12,678
It was a fine Sunday morning.
2914
02:42:12,681 --> 02:42:15,047
We went out to church together.
2915
02:42:16,560 --> 02:42:19,973
It's a great act, governor,
but I know better, and so do you.
2916
02:42:19,980 --> 02:42:23,017
You never did want to go to church
or any place else with her.
2917
02:42:23,025 --> 02:42:26,813
She was always on your neck, wanting you
to have ambition and go out and do things,
2918
02:42:26,820 --> 02:42:29,778
when all you wanted to do
was to get drunk in peace.
2919
02:42:31,033 --> 02:42:33,649
Can't hear a word you're saying.
2920
02:42:33,661 --> 02:42:36,368
You're a goddamned liar anyway!
2921
02:42:37,748 --> 02:42:40,239
B'jeez, you son of a bitch.
2922
02:42:40,251 --> 02:42:42,412
If there was a mad dog out there,
2923
02:42:42,419 --> 02:42:46,458
I'd go and shake hands with it
rather than stay here with you.
2924
02:42:56,767 --> 02:42:58,632
Jesus! He made it!
2925
02:42:58,644 --> 02:43:01,135
I'd have give you 50-to-1 he'd never...
2926
02:43:01,146 --> 02:43:03,512
Oh-ho. He's stopped.
2927
02:43:03,524 --> 02:43:05,264
I'll bet you he's comin' back.
2928
02:43:05,276 --> 02:43:06,982
Of course he's coming back.
2929
02:43:06,986 --> 02:43:10,274
By tonight they'll all be here again,
you dumbbell. That's the whole point.
2930
02:43:10,281 --> 02:43:12,772
No, he ain't neither!
He's gone to the curb.
2931
02:43:12,783 --> 02:43:16,321
He's lookin' up and down.
Scared stiff of automobiles.
2932
02:43:16,328 --> 02:43:20,742
There ain't more than two an hour
comes down this street, the old boob!
2933
02:43:24,628 --> 02:43:28,291
B'jeez, give me a drink, quick.
2934
02:43:28,299 --> 02:43:30,756
Scared me out of a year's growth.
2935
02:43:30,759 --> 02:43:33,171
B'jeez, that guy oughta be pinched!
2936
02:43:33,178 --> 02:43:36,511
B'jeez, it ain't safe to walk
in the streets. Give me that bottle.
2937
02:43:43,188 --> 02:43:45,850
- You seen it, didn't you, rocky?
- Seen what?
2938
02:43:45,858 --> 02:43:49,066
That automobile, you dumb wop!
2939
02:43:49,069 --> 02:43:51,606
Fella driving it must be drunk or crazy.
2940
02:43:51,613 --> 02:43:54,696
He'd have run right over me
if I hadn't have jumped.
2941
02:43:54,700 --> 02:43:58,534
Larry, have a drink. Come on.
Everybody have a drink.
2942
02:43:58,537 --> 02:44:01,620
Have a cigar, rocky.
I know you hardly touch it.
2943
02:44:01,623 --> 02:44:04,365
This is one time I do touch it!
2944
02:44:04,376 --> 02:44:06,583
I'm gonna get stinko, see!
2945
02:44:06,587 --> 02:44:08,327
Well, jeez, Harry!
2946
02:44:08,339 --> 02:44:10,250
I thought you had some guts!
2947
02:44:10,257 --> 02:44:13,670
I was bettin' you'd make it
and show that four-flusher up.
2948
02:44:13,677 --> 02:44:16,919
Automobile, hell!
Who do you think you're kiddin'?
2949
02:44:16,930 --> 02:44:21,094
There was no automobile!
You just quit cold.
2950
02:44:21,101 --> 02:44:25,014
I guess I ought to know.
B'jeez, it almost killed me.
2951
02:44:25,022 --> 02:44:26,978
Now, now, governor, don't be foolish.
2952
02:44:26,982 --> 02:44:28,973
You've faced the test
and you've come through.
2953
02:44:28,984 --> 02:44:30,895
You're rid of
that nagging dream stuff now.
2954
02:44:30,903 --> 02:44:33,736
You know you can't believe it anymore.
2955
02:44:33,739 --> 02:44:36,151
You saw it, didn't you, Larry?
2956
02:44:36,158 --> 02:44:38,114
Have a drink. Have another.
Have all you want.
2957
02:44:38,118 --> 02:44:41,576
We'll go on a grand old souse together.
2958
02:44:41,580 --> 02:44:43,662
You saw that automobile, didn't you?
2959
02:44:43,665 --> 02:44:46,748
Sure, I saw it, Harry.
You had a narrow escape.
2960
02:44:46,752 --> 02:44:48,458
B'god, I thought you were a goner.
2961
02:44:48,462 --> 02:44:50,293
What the hell are you doing, Larry?
2962
02:44:50,297 --> 02:44:53,505
Remember what I told you about the
wrong kind of pity. Now leave him alone.
2963
02:44:53,509 --> 02:44:56,171
You'd think I was trying to harm him,
the fool way you act.
2964
02:44:56,178 --> 02:44:58,794
Why, there isn't anything
I wouldn't do for Harry, and he knows it.
2965
02:44:58,806 --> 02:45:02,890
All I wanted was to fix it
so he'd finally be at peace with himself.
2966
02:45:02,893 --> 02:45:04,554
If you'll just wait
till the final returns are in,
2967
02:45:04,561 --> 02:45:06,517
that's exactly what I've accomplished.
2968
02:45:07,773 --> 02:45:09,354
Come on, governor.
2969
02:45:09,358 --> 02:45:11,940
What's the use of being stubborn now
that it's over and dead?
2970
02:45:11,944 --> 02:45:14,560
- Give up that ghost automobile.
- Yeah.
2971
02:45:14,571 --> 02:45:16,527
What's the use now?
2972
02:45:18,075 --> 02:45:20,316
It's all a lie.
2973
02:45:20,327 --> 02:45:22,613
No automobile.
2974
02:45:22,621 --> 02:45:24,953
B'jeez, something ran over me.
2975
02:45:24,957 --> 02:45:26,913
Must have been myself, I guess.
2976
02:45:28,544 --> 02:45:30,500
Guess I'll sit down.
2977
02:45:32,256 --> 02:45:34,121
Feel all in.
2978
02:45:36,718 --> 02:45:38,674
Like a corpse, b'jeez.
2979
02:45:47,688 --> 02:45:49,679
Hello, Hugo.
2980
02:45:49,690 --> 02:45:51,897
Coming up for air?
2981
02:45:51,900 --> 02:45:55,484
Oh, stay passed out.
That's the right dope.
2982
02:45:56,738 --> 02:45:59,855
There ain't any cool Willow trees,
2983
02:45:59,867 --> 02:46:02,529
except you grow your own in a bottle.
2984
02:46:06,874 --> 02:46:09,331
Hello, Harry.
2985
02:46:09,334 --> 02:46:11,996
Stupid proletarian monkey face.
2986
02:46:14,089 --> 02:46:16,626
I will drink champagne
2987
02:46:16,633 --> 02:46:18,999
beneath the wil...
2988
02:46:19,011 --> 02:46:22,595
But the slaves must ice it properly!
2989
02:46:24,224 --> 02:46:26,715
Goddamned hickey!
2990
02:46:26,727 --> 02:46:30,265
Peddler pimp for nouveau riche capitalism!
2991
02:46:32,232 --> 02:46:35,440
When I lead the jackass mob
to the sack of Babylon,
2992
02:46:35,444 --> 02:46:38,481
I will make them hang him
to the first lamppost!
2993
02:46:39,740 --> 02:46:42,072
Good work.
2994
02:46:42,075 --> 02:46:44,532
I'll help pull the rope.
2995
02:46:52,252 --> 02:46:54,038
Have a drink, Hugo.
2996
02:46:57,633 --> 02:46:59,749
Uh, no, thank you.
2997
02:47:03,263 --> 02:47:05,219
I'm too crazy drunk.
2998
02:47:06,642 --> 02:47:09,224
I hear myself say crazy things.
2999
02:47:11,688 --> 02:47:14,646
Do not listen, please.
3000
02:47:14,650 --> 02:47:19,189
Larry will tell you,
I have never been so crazy drunk.
3001
02:47:21,365 --> 02:47:23,321
I must sleep it off.
3002
02:47:31,166 --> 02:47:34,249
What's the matter, Harry? You look funny.
3003
02:47:38,966 --> 02:47:40,752
You look dead!
3004
02:47:42,761 --> 02:47:45,218
What's happened? I don't know you.
3005
02:47:47,766 --> 02:47:50,428
Listen,
3006
02:47:50,435 --> 02:47:52,676
I feel I'm dying too
3007
02:47:52,688 --> 02:47:56,681
because I'm so crazy drunk.
3008
02:47:59,861 --> 02:48:02,819
I can't sleep here with you.
You look dead!
3009
02:48:13,041 --> 02:48:16,579
Another one
who's begun to enjoy your peace.
3010
02:48:18,213 --> 02:48:22,673
Oh, I know it's rough on him right now.
Same as it is on Harry.
3011
02:48:22,676 --> 02:48:25,042
But that's just the first shock.
3012
02:48:25,053 --> 02:48:27,214
I promise you they'll both be all right.
3013
02:48:27,222 --> 02:48:29,087
And you believe that?
3014
02:48:30,392 --> 02:48:32,474
I see you do, you mad fool.
3015
02:48:33,478 --> 02:48:35,309
Of course, I believe it.
3016
02:48:35,314 --> 02:48:37,054
I know from my own experience.
3017
02:48:37,065 --> 02:48:40,182
And now it's my turn, I suppose.
3018
02:48:40,193 --> 02:48:44,311
What is it I'm to do
to achieve this blessed peace of yours?
3019
02:48:44,323 --> 02:48:47,156
Well, we've discussed all of that, Larry.
3020
02:48:47,159 --> 02:48:49,275
Just stop lying to yourself.
3021
02:48:49,286 --> 02:48:52,528
You think when I say
I'm finished with life
3022
02:48:52,539 --> 02:48:56,703
and tired of watching the stupid greed
of the human circus
3023
02:48:56,710 --> 02:49:00,453
and I'll welcome closing my eyes
in the long sleep of death,
3024
02:49:00,464 --> 02:49:02,295
you think that's a coward"s lie?
3025
02:49:03,592 --> 02:49:05,048
Well, what do you think?
3026
02:49:06,303 --> 02:49:08,544
I'm afraid to live, am I?
3027
02:49:08,555 --> 02:49:11,137
And even more afraid to diel
3028
02:49:11,141 --> 02:49:15,350
so I sit here, with my pride drowned
on the bottom of a bottle,
3029
02:49:15,354 --> 02:49:19,188
keeping drunk so I won't see myself
shaking in my britches with fright,
3030
02:49:19,191 --> 02:49:21,807
or hear myself whining and praying,
3031
02:49:21,818 --> 02:49:25,231
beloved Christ,
let me live a little longer at any price.
3032
02:49:25,238 --> 02:49:28,355
If it's only for a few days more,
or a few hours even,
3033
02:49:28,367 --> 02:49:30,449
have mercy, almighty god,
3034
02:49:30,452 --> 02:49:33,569
and let me still clutch greedily
to my yellow heart
3035
02:49:33,580 --> 02:49:36,947
this sweet treasure,
this Jewel beyond price,
3036
02:49:36,958 --> 02:49:40,667
this dirty, stinking bit
of withered old flesh
3037
02:49:40,671 --> 02:49:42,627
which is my beautiful little life.
3038
02:49:44,758 --> 02:49:47,591
You think you'll make me
admit that to myself?
3039
02:49:48,679 --> 02:49:50,670
But you just did admit it, didn't you?
3040
02:49:56,353 --> 02:49:58,719
That's the stuff, hickey.
3041
02:49:58,730 --> 02:50:03,099
Show that old yellow faker up.
He can't play dead on me like this.
3042
02:50:03,110 --> 02:50:05,897
Yes, you're gonna have to
settle with him, Larry.
3043
02:50:05,904 --> 02:50:08,896
I'm leaving you entirely in his hands.
3044
02:50:08,907 --> 02:50:10,363
And he'll do as good a job as I could
3045
02:50:10,367 --> 02:50:12,858
at making you
give up the old grandstand bluff.
3046
02:50:13,912 --> 02:50:17,700
Close that big clam of yours, hickey.
3047
02:50:17,708 --> 02:50:21,826
B'jeez, you're a worse gabber
than that nagging bitch bessie was.
3048
02:50:21,837 --> 02:50:24,499
Jeez! Did you hear that?
3049
02:50:28,135 --> 02:50:30,922
What's wrong with this booze?
3050
02:50:30,929 --> 02:50:33,591
There's no kick in it.
3051
02:50:33,598 --> 02:50:37,386
Jeez, Larry. Hugo had it right.
3052
02:50:37,394 --> 02:50:39,180
He does look like he croaked.
3053
02:50:39,187 --> 02:50:41,428
Don't be a damned fool. He's all right.
3054
02:50:41,440 --> 02:50:43,396
It's just the first shock.
3055
02:50:45,068 --> 02:50:47,229
You are all right, aren't you, Harry?
3056
02:50:47,237 --> 02:50:51,230
I... I want to pass out like Hugo.
3057
02:50:55,746 --> 02:50:58,112
It's the peace of death
you've brought him.
3058
02:50:58,123 --> 02:50:59,579
That's a lie.
3059
02:51:02,919 --> 02:51:07,208
Well, well, you did manage to get
a rise out of me that time, didn't you?
3060
02:51:07,215 --> 02:51:09,706
That's just plain damned foolishness.
3061
02:51:09,718 --> 02:51:13,051
Look at me.
I've been through it. Do I look dead?
3062
02:51:13,054 --> 02:51:14,840
Just leave Harry alone. Give him time.
3063
02:51:14,848 --> 02:51:18,181
It's the first shock. He'll be all right.
3064
02:51:18,185 --> 02:51:20,346
He'll be a new man, like I am.
3065
02:51:24,149 --> 02:51:27,016
How's it coming, governor?
3066
02:51:27,027 --> 02:51:29,734
Beginning to feel free, aren't you?
3067
02:51:31,072 --> 02:51:33,609
Relieved and not guilty anymore?
3068
02:51:33,617 --> 02:51:35,448
Mmm, b'jeez.
3069
02:51:35,452 --> 02:51:37,989
You must have been monkeying
with the booze too,
3070
02:51:37,996 --> 02:51:40,282
you interfering bastard.
3071
02:51:40,290 --> 02:51:42,906
There's no life in it now.
3072
02:51:42,918 --> 02:51:45,284
I want to get drunk and pass out.
3073
02:51:46,922 --> 02:51:50,380
I'll admit I didn't think
it'd hit him so hard.
3074
02:51:50,383 --> 02:51:53,170
He's always been such
a happy-go-lucky slob, like I was.
3075
02:51:54,429 --> 02:51:56,966
Well, it hit me hard too,
but only for a minute.
3076
02:51:58,558 --> 02:52:02,767
But then I felt as if a ton of guilt
had been lifted off my mind.
3077
02:52:02,771 --> 02:52:05,433
And I saw what had happened
was the only possible way
3078
02:52:05,440 --> 02:52:07,476
for the peace of all concerned.
3079
02:52:08,443 --> 02:52:10,149
What was it happened?
3080
02:52:10,153 --> 02:52:11,939
Tell us that.
3081
02:52:11,947 --> 02:52:14,984
And don't try to get out of it.
I want a straight answer!
3082
02:52:14,991 --> 02:52:17,482
I-I think it's something
you drove someone else to do.
3083
02:52:19,788 --> 02:52:21,119
Someone else?
3084
02:52:21,915 --> 02:52:24,327
What did your wife die of?
3085
02:52:24,334 --> 02:52:26,290
You've kept that a deep secret.
3086
02:52:28,880 --> 02:52:31,997
That's not very considerate of you, Larry,
3087
02:52:32,008 --> 02:52:34,966
but if you insist on knowing now,
there's no reason you shouldn't.
3088
02:52:36,388 --> 02:52:38,800
It was a bullet through the head
that killed poor Evelyn.
3089
02:52:43,436 --> 02:52:46,018
Who... who the hell cares?
3090
02:52:47,482 --> 02:52:52,067
To hell with her
and that nagging old hag bessie.
3091
02:52:52,070 --> 02:52:55,107
Christ. You had the right dope, Larry.
3092
02:52:56,741 --> 02:52:59,153
You drove your poor wife to suicide?
3093
02:52:59,160 --> 02:53:00,946
I knew it.
3094
02:53:00,954 --> 02:53:04,993
B'god, I don't blame her. I'd almost do
the same thing myself to get rid of you.
3095
02:53:05,000 --> 02:53:07,537
It's what you'd like to drive us all to...
3096
02:53:10,755 --> 02:53:12,711
I'm sorry, hickey. I'm sorry.
3097
02:53:14,217 --> 02:53:16,833
I'm a rotten louse
to throw that in your face.
3098
02:53:17,804 --> 02:53:19,795
Oh, that's all right, Larry.
3099
02:53:19,806 --> 02:53:21,387
But don't jump to conclusions.
3100
02:53:21,391 --> 02:53:24,554
I didn't say poor Evelyn
committed suicide.
3101
02:53:24,561 --> 02:53:26,552
That's the last thing she'd have done,
3102
02:53:26,563 --> 02:53:30,522
while I was still alive so she could
take care of me and forgive me.
3103
02:53:32,360 --> 02:53:35,852
No, if you'd known her at all,
you'd never have such a crazy suspicion.
3104
02:53:37,616 --> 02:53:40,824
No, I'm sorry to tell you
my poor wife was killed.
3105
02:53:43,830 --> 02:53:45,741
She was murdered?
3106
02:53:45,749 --> 02:53:47,705
You're a liar, Larry!
3107
02:53:50,837 --> 02:53:54,295
You must be crazy to say that to me.
You know damn well she's still alive.
3108
02:53:54,299 --> 02:53:56,335
Murdered? Who done it?
3109
02:53:56,343 --> 02:54:00,086
Shut up, you dumb wop. It's none of
our damn business. Leave him alone.
3110
02:54:01,640 --> 02:54:04,222
Still the old grandstand bluff?
3111
02:54:04,225 --> 02:54:06,090
Or just some more bum pity?
3112
02:54:07,312 --> 02:54:09,394
The police don't know
who killed her yet, rocky,
3113
02:54:09,397 --> 02:54:11,308
but I expect they will before very long.
3114
02:54:12,859 --> 02:54:15,316
How's it coming, governor?
3115
02:54:15,320 --> 02:54:17,276
Getting over the first shock?
3116
02:54:19,240 --> 02:54:22,949
Beginning to feel free
of guilt and lying hopes
3117
02:54:22,953 --> 02:54:25,569
and at peace with yourself?
3118
02:54:25,580 --> 02:54:28,822
Somebody croaked your Evelyn, eh?
3119
02:54:28,833 --> 02:54:31,415
B'jeez, my bets are on the iceman.
3120
02:54:32,837 --> 02:54:35,203
But who the hell cares?
3121
02:54:35,215 --> 02:54:37,797
Let's get drunk and pass out.
3122
02:54:41,221 --> 02:54:44,634
B'jeez, what did you do
to the booze, hickey?
3123
02:54:44,641 --> 02:54:47,303
There's no damned life left in it.
3124
02:54:48,687 --> 02:54:50,928
Larry, don't look like that.
3125
02:54:50,939 --> 02:54:52,930
You gotta believe what I'm telling you!
3126
02:54:52,941 --> 02:54:56,104
It had nothing to do with her! It was
just for a few lousy dollars! Honest!
3127
02:54:57,320 --> 02:55:00,687
Don't be a fool. Buy me a drink!
3128
02:55:00,699 --> 02:55:02,985
But no more wine!
3129
02:55:02,993 --> 02:55:05,450
It is not properly iced!
3130
02:55:07,247 --> 02:55:10,910
You goddamned stupid proletarian slaves!
3131
02:55:10,917 --> 02:55:14,455
Buy me a drink or I'll have you shot!
3132
02:55:14,462 --> 02:55:18,626
Please, for god's sake!
3133
02:55:19,759 --> 02:55:22,045
I'm not drunk enough!
3134
02:55:22,053 --> 02:55:25,420
I cannot sleep!
3135
02:55:25,432 --> 02:55:29,220
Life is a crazy monkey face!
3136
02:55:29,227 --> 02:55:34,688
Always there's blood
beneath the Willow trees!
3137
02:55:34,691 --> 02:55:37,478
I hate it!
3138
02:55:37,485 --> 02:55:40,397
I'm afraid.
3139
02:55:44,743 --> 02:55:48,031
Oh, please. Please. Please.
3140
02:55:48,038 --> 02:55:51,121
I'm too crazy drunk.
3141
02:55:51,124 --> 02:55:53,160
I say crazy things.
3142
02:55:53,168 --> 02:55:55,875
Oh, for god's sake,
3143
02:55:55,879 --> 02:55:58,370
do not listen to Mel
3144
02:55:58,381 --> 02:56:00,542
do not listen to me!
3145
02:56:03,011 --> 02:56:05,969
I'm afraid.
3146
02:56:10,310 --> 02:56:13,643
You're beginning to worry me, governor.
3147
02:56:13,646 --> 02:56:17,639
Something's holding you up somewhere,
but I don't see why.
3148
02:56:17,650 --> 02:56:20,983
You've faced the truth about yourself.
3149
02:56:20,987 --> 02:56:24,855
You've done what you had to do
to kill your nagging pipe dreams.
3150
02:56:24,866 --> 02:56:26,948
Oh, I know it knocks you cold.
3151
02:56:26,951 --> 02:56:28,942
But only for a minute.
3152
02:56:28,953 --> 02:56:32,241
Then you'll see it was
the only possible way to peace.
3153
02:56:32,248 --> 02:56:34,534
Then you'll feel happy, like I did.
3154
02:56:36,127 --> 02:56:39,039
That's what worries me about you,
governor.
3155
02:56:39,047 --> 02:56:41,709
It's time you began to feel happy.
3156
02:57:17,418 --> 02:57:18,783
Come on, you damn nigger.
3157
02:57:18,795 --> 02:57:20,877
Beat it in the backroom. It's after hours.
3158
02:57:23,842 --> 02:57:27,209
Aw, to hell with it.
Let the dump get pinched.
3159
02:57:27,220 --> 02:57:29,802
I'm through with this lousy job anyway.
3160
02:57:30,723 --> 02:57:32,884
Huh. Been scrappin', huh?
3161
02:57:32,892 --> 02:57:34,974
Started off on your periodical, ain't you?
3162
02:57:34,978 --> 02:57:38,470
- Yeah. Ain't you glad?
- I'm out on my feet holdin' down your job.
3163
02:57:38,481 --> 02:57:41,143
You said if I'd take your day,
you'd relieve me at 6:00.
3164
02:57:41,151 --> 02:57:42,982
And here it's half past 1:00 A.M.
3165
02:57:42,986 --> 02:57:44,942
Well, you're takin' over now, get me?
3166
02:57:44,946 --> 02:57:47,107
- No matter how plastered you are!
- Ah, plastered.
3167
02:57:47,115 --> 02:57:50,858
Hell, I wish I was. I lapped up a gallon,
but it don't hit me right.
3168
02:57:50,869 --> 02:57:53,576
And to hell with the job.
I'm gonna tell Harry I'm quittin'.
3169
02:57:53,580 --> 02:57:55,491
Well, I'm quittin' too.
3170
02:57:55,498 --> 02:57:56,954
I've played sucker for that crummy blonde
long enough,
3171
02:57:56,958 --> 02:57:58,789
lettin' her kid me into workin'.
3172
02:57:58,793 --> 02:58:01,705
- From now on I take it easy.
- I'm glad you're gettin' some sense.
3173
02:58:01,713 --> 02:58:03,578
I hope you're gettin' some.
3174
02:58:03,590 --> 02:58:04,796
What a prize sap you been,
3175
02:58:04,799 --> 02:58:07,211
tendin' bar when you got
two good hustlers in your stable.
3176
02:58:07,218 --> 02:58:09,584
Yeah, but I ain't no sap now.
3177
02:58:09,596 --> 02:58:12,303
I'll learn 'em when they get back
from coney.
3178
02:58:12,307 --> 02:58:15,424
Jeez, that Cora
sure played you for a dope,
3179
02:58:15,435 --> 02:58:18,393
feedin' you that marriage-on-a-farm hop.
3180
02:58:18,396 --> 02:58:21,559
Yeah, hickey got it right.
A lousy pipe dream.
3181
02:58:21,566 --> 02:58:24,399
It was her pulling Sherry flips
on me woke me up.
3182
02:58:24,402 --> 02:58:27,815
Walkin' to the ferry, every gin mill
we come to, she'd drag me in to blow her.
3183
02:58:27,822 --> 02:58:29,483
I got thinkin', what won't she want
3184
02:58:29,490 --> 02:58:31,651
when she gets that ring on her finger
and I'm hooked?
3185
02:58:31,659 --> 02:58:33,024
So I tells her at the ferry,
3186
02:58:33,036 --> 02:58:36,073
"kiddo, you can go to Jersey or to hell,
but count me out."
3187
02:58:36,080 --> 02:58:38,867
She said it was her told you to go to hell
3188
02:58:38,875 --> 02:58:40,740
because you'd start hittin' the booze.
3189
02:58:40,752 --> 02:58:42,788
I got thinkin' too, jeez,
won't I look sweet
3190
02:58:42,795 --> 02:58:45,411
with a wife that if you put all the guys
she's stayed with side by side,
3191
02:58:45,423 --> 02:58:47,288
they'd reach to Chicago.
3192
02:58:47,300 --> 02:58:49,006
That kind of dame, you can't trust 'em.
3193
02:58:49,010 --> 02:58:51,843
The minute your back is turned, they're
cheatin' with the iceman or someone.
3194
02:58:51,846 --> 02:58:54,428
Hickey done me a favor, makin' me wake up.
3195
02:58:57,060 --> 02:58:59,847
Only it was fun, kinda,
me and Cora kiddin' ourselves.
3196
02:59:02,565 --> 02:59:05,557
Say, where is that son of a bitch, hickey?
3197
02:59:05,568 --> 02:59:07,684
I want one good sock
at the guy... just one...
3198
02:59:07,695 --> 02:59:09,981
And the next buttin' in he'll do
will be in the morgue.
3199
02:59:09,989 --> 02:59:12,446
- I'll take a chance on goin' to the chair!
- Sit down!
3200
02:59:12,450 --> 02:59:15,738
Keep away from him, Chuck!
He ain't here now anyway.
3201
02:59:15,745 --> 02:59:19,112
He went out to phone, he said.
I got a hunch he beat it.
3202
02:59:19,123 --> 02:59:23,116
But if he does come back, you don't
know him, if anyone asks you, get me?
3203
02:59:23,127 --> 02:59:25,743
The chair... maybe that's where he's goin'.
3204
02:59:25,755 --> 02:59:29,998
I don't know nothin', see,
but it looks like he croaked his wife.
3205
02:59:30,009 --> 02:59:33,467
You mean she really was cheatin' on him?
Then I don't blame the guy.
3206
02:59:33,471 --> 02:59:36,178
- Who's blamin' him?
- Is any of the gang wise?
3207
02:59:36,182 --> 02:59:38,594
Larry is. And the boss oughta be.
3208
02:59:38,601 --> 02:59:41,559
I tried to wise the rest of them
to stay clear of him,
3209
02:59:41,562 --> 02:59:45,271
but they're all so licked,
I don't know if they got it.
3210
02:59:45,275 --> 02:59:48,938
Oh, I don't give a damn
what he done to his wife,
3211
02:59:48,945 --> 02:59:51,561
but if he gets the hot seat,
I won't go into no mournin'.
3212
02:59:51,572 --> 02:59:52,561
Me neither.
3213
02:59:52,573 --> 02:59:54,859
Not after his throwin' it in my face
I'm a pimp.
3214
02:59:54,867 --> 02:59:58,075
What if I am? And what's he done to Harry?
3215
02:59:58,079 --> 03:00:01,367
Jeez, the poor old slob is so licked,
he can't even get drunk.
3216
03:00:01,374 --> 03:00:02,955
And all the gang.
3217
03:00:02,959 --> 03:00:05,166
I couldn't help feelin' sorry
for the poor bums
3218
03:00:05,169 --> 03:00:07,626
when they showed up tonight, one by one,
3219
03:00:07,630 --> 03:00:10,417
lookin' like pooches
with their tails between their legs
3220
03:00:10,425 --> 03:00:14,293
that everyone'd been kickin' till they
were too punch-drunk to feel it no more.
3221
03:00:14,304 --> 03:00:16,545
Jimmy tomorrow was the last.
3222
03:00:16,556 --> 03:00:18,512
Schwartz, the copper, brung him in.
3223
03:00:18,516 --> 03:00:20,381
Seen him sittin' on the dock
on west street,
3224
03:00:20,393 --> 03:00:22,805
lookin' at the water and cryin'.
3225
03:00:22,812 --> 03:00:25,724
Schwartz thought he was drunk,
and I let him think it.
3226
03:00:25,732 --> 03:00:27,518
But he was cold sober.
3227
03:00:27,525 --> 03:00:30,938
He was tryin' to jump in
and didn't have the nerve, I figured it.
3228
03:00:30,945 --> 03:00:35,780
Jeez, there ain't enough guts left
in the whole gang to battle a mosquito.
3229
03:00:35,783 --> 03:00:38,445
Aw, to hell with them.
Who cares? Give me a drink.
3230
03:00:40,872 --> 03:00:43,329
I see you been hittin' the red-eye too.
3231
03:00:43,333 --> 03:00:46,416
Yeah. But it don't do no good.
I can't get drunk right.
3232
03:00:46,419 --> 03:00:50,833
This dirty dinge was able
to get his snootful and pass out.
3233
03:00:50,840 --> 03:00:53,752
Jeez, even hickey can't faze a nigger.
3234
03:00:53,760 --> 03:00:56,251
You'd think he was fazed
if you'd seen him come in.
3235
03:00:56,262 --> 03:01:00,301
Stinko, and he pulled a gat and said
he'd plug hickey for insultin' him.
3236
03:01:00,308 --> 03:01:02,720
Then he dropped it and began to cry
3237
03:01:02,727 --> 03:01:06,436
and said he wasn't a gamblin' man
or a tough guy no more.
3238
03:01:06,439 --> 03:01:10,307
He got drunk panhandlin' drinks
in nigger joints, I suppose.
3239
03:01:10,318 --> 03:01:12,274
I guess they felt sorry for him.
3240
03:01:12,278 --> 03:01:15,441
He ain't got no business in a bar
after hours. Why don't you Chuck him out?
3241
03:01:15,448 --> 03:01:17,985
Aw, to hell with it. Who cares?
3242
03:01:17,992 --> 03:01:19,448
Yeah, I don't.
3243
03:01:21,287 --> 03:01:24,199
Excuse me, white boys.
3244
03:01:25,458 --> 03:01:28,416
I don't want to be where I'm not wanted.
3245
03:01:29,712 --> 03:01:31,703
My pig's in the backroom, ain't she?
3246
03:01:31,714 --> 03:01:34,376
I wanna collect the dough I wouldn't
take this mornin', like a sucker,
3247
03:01:34,384 --> 03:01:36,340
before she blows it.
3248
03:01:37,637 --> 03:01:39,502
I'm comin' too.
3249
03:01:47,897 --> 03:01:50,604
I'm waitin', baby. Dig.
3250
03:01:50,608 --> 03:01:55,648
Yeah. I been expectin' you.
I got it all ready. Here.
3251
03:01:55,655 --> 03:02:01,616
Jeez, imagine me kiddin' myself
I wanted to marry a drunken pimp.
3252
03:02:01,619 --> 03:02:02,904
That's nothin', baby.
3253
03:02:02,912 --> 03:02:04,402
Imagine what a sap I'd have been
3254
03:02:04,414 --> 03:02:08,248
when I can get your dough
just as easy without it.
3255
03:02:17,343 --> 03:02:20,176
Hello, old cemetery.
3256
03:02:20,179 --> 03:02:21,885
Hello, tightwad.
3257
03:02:21,889 --> 03:02:23,845
You still around?
3258
03:02:25,143 --> 03:02:26,599
Ask Larry.
3259
03:02:28,312 --> 03:02:31,099
He knows I'm here, all right,
although he's pretending not to.
3260
03:02:33,151 --> 03:02:36,939
He'd like to forget I'm alive.
3261
03:02:36,946 --> 03:02:41,861
He's trying to kid himself
with that grandstand philosopher stuff.
3262
03:02:41,868 --> 03:02:46,407
But he knows he can't get away
with that now.
3263
03:02:48,082 --> 03:02:50,494
He kept himself locked up
in his room until a while ago,
3264
03:02:50,501 --> 03:02:52,366
alone with a bottle of booze.
3265
03:02:52,378 --> 03:02:54,790
He couldn't make it work.
He couldn't even get drunk.
3266
03:02:54,797 --> 03:02:56,753
So he had to come out.
3267
03:02:58,426 --> 03:03:01,463
There must have been something up there
he was even more scared to face
3268
03:03:01,471 --> 03:03:03,427
than he is me and hickey.
3269
03:03:05,975 --> 03:03:08,261
I guess he got looking
at the fire escape...
3270
03:03:12,315 --> 03:03:14,226
Thinking how handy it was
if he was really sick of life
3271
03:03:14,233 --> 03:03:16,770
and only had the nerve to die.
3272
03:03:18,613 --> 03:03:20,695
And he's been thinking
about me too, rocky.
3273
03:03:20,698 --> 03:03:23,235
He's gotta figure a way
to get out of helping me.
3274
03:03:27,121 --> 03:03:31,114
He loved her too, so he thinks
I oughta take a hop off the fire escape.
3275
03:03:37,715 --> 03:03:40,422
For god's sake,
can't you say something?
3276
03:03:41,427 --> 03:03:42,883
Larry.
3277
03:03:49,227 --> 03:03:51,468
Larry?
3278
03:03:51,479 --> 03:03:53,094
Thinking of what hickey must have done
3279
03:03:53,105 --> 03:03:55,346
has got me so I don't know anymore
what I did or why.
3280
03:03:57,193 --> 03:03:59,309
I can't go on like this.
3281
03:04:00,404 --> 03:04:02,315
I gotta know what I gotta do.
3282
03:04:02,323 --> 03:04:05,406
Goddamn you! Are you trying
to make me your executioner?
3283
03:04:05,409 --> 03:04:06,865
Executioner.
3284
03:04:10,248 --> 03:04:13,035
- Then you think I...
- I don't think anything.
3285
03:04:17,088 --> 03:04:19,955
I... I suppose you think
I ought to die, huh?
3286
03:04:21,676 --> 03:04:24,258
Because I sold out a lot
of loudmouthed fakers?
3287
03:04:27,974 --> 03:04:29,339
Hal
3288
03:04:29,350 --> 03:04:31,762
don't make me laugh. I oughta get a medal.
3289
03:04:35,231 --> 03:04:37,267
Oh, you old sap!
3290
03:04:37,275 --> 03:04:39,311
You must still believe in the movement.
3291
03:04:41,612 --> 03:04:43,819
Hickey's right about him, isn't he, rocky?
3292
03:04:43,823 --> 03:04:46,064
An old, no-good drunken tramp,
as dumb as he is,
3293
03:04:46,075 --> 03:04:48,157
oughta take a hop off the fire escape.
3294
03:04:48,160 --> 03:04:50,572
Sure. Why don't he?
3295
03:04:50,580 --> 03:04:53,287
Or you? Or me?
3296
03:04:53,291 --> 03:04:56,658
Oh, what the hell's the difference?
Who cares?
3297
03:05:01,424 --> 03:05:04,211
What am I doin' here with youse two?
3298
03:05:05,678 --> 03:05:08,636
I remember I had something
on my mind to tell you. What?
3299
03:05:10,224 --> 03:05:13,307
Oh, I got it now.
3300
03:05:13,311 --> 03:05:17,975
I was thinking
how you was both regular guys.
3301
03:05:17,982 --> 03:05:21,395
I'm thinking,
ain't two guys like them saps
3302
03:05:21,402 --> 03:05:25,611
to be hangin' around like a couple
of stew bums and wastin' themselves?
3303
03:05:26,699 --> 03:05:29,315
What do you think, parritt?
3304
03:05:29,327 --> 03:05:31,693
You ain't a bad-looking guy.
3305
03:05:31,704 --> 03:05:36,414
You could easy make some gal
who's a good hustler and start a stable.
3306
03:05:36,417 --> 03:05:40,205
I'd help you and wise you up
to the inside dope on the game.
3307
03:05:41,964 --> 03:05:43,829
Well, what about it?
3308
03:05:43,841 --> 03:05:46,127
What if they do call you a pimp?
3309
03:05:48,679 --> 03:05:52,092
I don't want anything to do with whores.
I wish they were all in jail or dead.
3310
03:05:52,099 --> 03:05:53,930
All right. Stay a bum.
3311
03:05:55,144 --> 03:05:57,180
How 'bout you, Larry?
3312
03:05:57,188 --> 03:06:01,272
You ain't dumb. Sure, you're old.
3313
03:06:01,275 --> 03:06:05,188
But that don't matter.
All the girls think you're aces.
3314
03:06:05,196 --> 03:06:08,984
They fall for you like you were
their uncle or old man or somethin'.
3315
03:06:08,991 --> 03:06:11,232
They like takin' care of you.
3316
03:06:11,243 --> 03:06:14,610
And the cops around here,
they like you too.
3317
03:06:14,622 --> 03:06:19,537
You wouldn't have to worry where the next
drink's comin' from or wear dirty clothes.
3318
03:06:19,543 --> 03:06:22,535
Well? Don't it look good to you?
3319
03:06:22,546 --> 03:06:25,959
No, it doesn't look good, rocky.
3320
03:06:25,966 --> 03:06:28,548
I mean, the peace hickey's brought you.
3321
03:06:28,552 --> 03:06:32,295
It isn't contented enough, if you
have to make a pimp of everyone else.
3322
03:06:32,306 --> 03:06:35,890
I'm a sap to waste time on you.
3323
03:06:35,893 --> 03:06:38,179
A stew bum is a stew bum.
3324
03:06:38,187 --> 03:06:42,021
Oh, like I was sayin' to Chuck,
3325
03:06:42,024 --> 03:06:46,188
if anyone asks you, you don't
know nothin' about hickey, get me?
3326
03:06:46,195 --> 03:06:49,187
You never even heard he had a wife.
3327
03:06:49,198 --> 03:06:51,314
Oh, jeez.
3328
03:06:51,325 --> 03:06:54,408
We all oughta get drunk
and stage a celebration
3329
03:06:54,412 --> 03:06:56,778
when that bastard goes to the chair.
3330
03:06:56,789 --> 03:07:00,907
B'god, I'll celebrate with you
and drink to his long, long life in hell.
3331
03:07:02,086 --> 03:07:04,077
That poor devil.
3332
03:07:04,088 --> 03:07:06,545
Ah, that's pity. The wrong kind.
3333
03:07:06,549 --> 03:07:08,255
He'll welcome the chair.
3334
03:07:08,259 --> 03:07:11,376
Yes. What are you
so damned scared about death for?
3335
03:07:13,222 --> 03:07:14,803
I don't want your lousy pity.
3336
03:07:16,308 --> 03:07:18,515
I hope he don't come back, Larry.
3337
03:07:18,519 --> 03:07:20,430
We don't know nothin' now.
3338
03:07:20,438 --> 03:07:22,975
We're only guessin', see?
3339
03:07:22,982 --> 03:07:25,439
But if that bastard keeps on talking...
3340
03:07:25,443 --> 03:07:28,731
He'll come back,
and he'll keep on talking.
3341
03:07:28,738 --> 03:07:32,071
He's lost his confidence that the peace
he's sold us is the real McCoy,
3342
03:07:32,074 --> 03:07:34,861
and it's made him uneasy about his own.
3343
03:07:34,869 --> 03:07:38,532
- He'll have to prove...
- That's a damned lie, Larry.
3344
03:07:38,539 --> 03:07:40,871
I haven't lost confidence.
3345
03:07:40,875 --> 03:07:44,288
When I made up my mind to sell someone
something I thought they oughta want,
3346
03:07:44,295 --> 03:07:46,251
I've sold 'em.
3347
03:07:46,255 --> 03:07:49,372
I mean, I don't think it's very kind
of you to make that kind of a crack
3348
03:07:49,383 --> 03:07:52,591
when I've been doing my best to help.
3349
03:07:52,595 --> 03:07:54,677
Keep away from me, will ya.
3350
03:07:54,680 --> 03:07:57,342
I don't know nothin' about you, see?
3351
03:08:01,103 --> 03:08:03,059
Well, how's it coming, everybody?
3352
03:08:05,357 --> 03:08:07,188
I'm sorry I had to leave you
for a while,
3353
03:08:07,193 --> 03:08:09,525
but there was something
I had to get finally settled.
3354
03:08:09,528 --> 03:08:11,314
It's all fixed now.
3355
03:08:11,322 --> 03:08:15,361
When are you gonna
do something about this booze, hickey?
3356
03:08:15,367 --> 03:08:19,827
We can't pass out,
and you promised us peace.
3357
03:08:22,333 --> 03:08:25,700
For god's sake, Harry, are you still
harping on that damned nonsense?
3358
03:08:25,711 --> 03:08:27,542
You kept it up all afternoon and night!
3359
03:08:27,546 --> 03:08:29,662
And you got everybody else
singing the same crazy tune!
3360
03:08:29,673 --> 03:08:32,380
I've had about all I can stand.
That's why I phoned.
3361
03:08:36,430 --> 03:08:39,638
Excuse me, boys and girls.
I don't mean that.
3362
03:08:39,642 --> 03:08:43,055
It's just that I worry about you
when you play dead on me like this.
3363
03:08:43,062 --> 03:08:46,270
I was hoping by the time I got back,
you'd be like you ought to be.
3364
03:08:46,273 --> 03:08:48,810
I thought you were deliberately holding
back on me before, when I was here,
3365
03:08:48,818 --> 03:08:50,308
because you didn't wanna give me
the satisfaction
3366
03:08:50,319 --> 03:08:52,526
of showin' me
that I had the right dope.
3367
03:08:52,530 --> 03:08:55,192
And I did have.
I know from my own experience.
3368
03:08:55,199 --> 03:08:58,407
But I've explained that a million times.
3369
03:08:58,410 --> 03:09:00,901
And you've all done what you needed to do.
3370
03:09:00,913 --> 03:09:03,404
By rights, you should
be contented with yourself
3371
03:09:03,415 --> 03:09:08,284
and free from lying hopes
and nagging dreams that torment you.
3372
03:09:08,295 --> 03:09:12,789
But here you are, sitting around like
a lot of stiffs cheating the undertaker!
3373
03:09:12,800 --> 03:09:14,756
I can't figure it.
3374
03:09:16,345 --> 03:09:19,462
Unless it's just your damned
stubborn pigheadedness.
3375
03:09:21,517 --> 03:09:23,508
Ah, hell.
3376
03:09:23,519 --> 03:09:25,885
Don't act like this with me, gang.
3377
03:09:25,896 --> 03:09:28,387
You're my old pals,
the only friends I've got.
3378
03:09:28,399 --> 03:09:32,984
You know, the one thing I want
is to see you happy before I go.
3379
03:09:32,987 --> 03:09:35,148
There's damned little time left now.
3380
03:09:36,365 --> 03:09:37,946
I made a date for two o'clock.
3381
03:09:37,950 --> 03:09:41,067
So we've gotta get busy right away
and find out what's wrong.
3382
03:09:43,581 --> 03:09:47,165
Can't you appreciate what you've got,
for god's sake?
3383
03:09:47,167 --> 03:09:49,374
Don't you see you're free
to be yourselves now
3384
03:09:49,378 --> 03:09:50,959
without feeling remorse or guilt,
3385
03:09:50,963 --> 03:09:53,921
or having to lie to yourselves
about reforming tomorrow?
3386
03:09:53,924 --> 03:09:56,586
Don't you see there is no tomorrow now?
3387
03:09:56,594 --> 03:09:59,210
You're rid of it forever.
You've killed it.
3388
03:09:59,221 --> 03:10:02,384
You don't have to care a damn
about anything anymore.
3389
03:10:02,391 --> 03:10:06,680
You've finally got the game of life
licked. Don't you see that?
3390
03:10:06,687 --> 03:10:10,054
Then why the hell don't you get drunk
and sing "sweet Adeline"?
3391
03:10:10,065 --> 03:10:12,852
Why don't you laugh
and celebrate and get pie-eyed?
3392
03:10:14,153 --> 03:10:15,768
Ah.
3393
03:10:17,823 --> 03:10:21,486
The only reason I can think of is you're
putting on this rotten half-dead act
3394
03:10:21,493 --> 03:10:24,781
just to get back at me,
'cause you hate my guts.
3395
03:10:24,788 --> 03:10:28,201
God, don't do that, gang.
3396
03:10:28,208 --> 03:10:31,792
It makes me feel like hell
to think that you hate me.
3397
03:10:31,795 --> 03:10:34,628
It makes me feel that
you suspected that I hated you.
3398
03:10:34,632 --> 03:10:36,543
But that is a lie!
3399
03:10:36,550 --> 03:10:39,838
I used to hate everybody in the world
that wasn't as rotten a bastard as I was.
3400
03:10:39,845 --> 03:10:42,006
But that was when
I was still living in hell,
3401
03:10:42,014 --> 03:10:43,800
before I faced the truth...
3402
03:10:45,768 --> 03:10:49,181
And saw the one possible way
to free poor Evelyn
3403
03:10:49,188 --> 03:10:51,645
and give her the peace
that she'd always dreamed about.
3404
03:10:51,649 --> 03:10:53,514
Aw, put a bag over it!
3405
03:10:53,525 --> 03:10:56,016
To hell with Evelyn.
What if she was cheatin'?
3406
03:10:56,028 --> 03:10:58,360
And who cares what you did to her?
That's your funeral.
3407
03:10:58,364 --> 03:11:00,275
We don't give a damn, see?
3408
03:11:00,282 --> 03:11:04,696
All we want outta you is keep the hell
away from us and give us a rest!
3409
03:11:04,703 --> 03:11:09,197
The one possible way to make up to her
for all I'd made her go through,
3410
03:11:09,208 --> 03:11:12,871
and get her rid of me
so I couldn't make her suffer anymore,
3411
03:11:12,878 --> 03:11:15,335
and she wouldn't have to forgive me again.
3412
03:11:17,257 --> 03:11:22,342
I saw I couldn't do it by killing myself,
like I'd wanted to for a long time.
3413
03:11:22,346 --> 03:11:26,009
That would have been
the last straw for her.
3414
03:11:26,016 --> 03:11:30,385
She'd have died of a broken heart
to think that I could do that to her.
3415
03:11:30,396 --> 03:11:32,352
She'd have blamed herself too.
3416
03:11:33,482 --> 03:11:37,020
Or I just couldn't run away from her.
3417
03:11:37,027 --> 03:11:40,565
She'd have died of grief and humiliation
if I'd done that to her.
3418
03:11:41,782 --> 03:11:44,023
She'd have thought I'd stopped loving her.
3419
03:11:47,788 --> 03:11:49,324
You see,
3420
03:11:50,457 --> 03:11:53,324
Evelyn loved me, and I loved her.
3421
03:11:55,379 --> 03:11:57,916
That was the trouble.
3422
03:11:57,923 --> 03:12:01,882
It would have been easy to find a way out
if she hadn't have loved me so much.
3423
03:12:01,885 --> 03:12:03,841
Or if I hadn't have loved her.
3424
03:12:05,055 --> 03:12:08,013
But as it was,
there was only one possible way.
3425
03:12:09,435 --> 03:12:10,891
I had to kill her.
3426
03:12:13,439 --> 03:12:16,727
Mad fool, can't you keep your mouth shut?
3427
03:12:17,985 --> 03:12:20,647
We may hate you
for what you've done this time,
3428
03:12:20,654 --> 03:12:22,360
but we remember the old times
3429
03:12:22,364 --> 03:12:25,697
when you brought laughter
and kindness here instead of death.
3430
03:12:25,701 --> 03:12:28,693
We don't wanna know things that
will make us help send you to the chair!
3431
03:12:28,704 --> 03:12:31,787
Shut up! You yellow faker!
Can't you face anything?
3432
03:12:31,790 --> 03:12:34,452
Wouldn't I deserve the chair too, if I'd...
3433
03:12:38,047 --> 03:12:41,335
It's worse if you kill someone
and they have to go on living.
3434
03:12:43,552 --> 03:12:46,885
I'd be glad of the chair.
3435
03:12:46,889 --> 03:12:49,596
It'd wipe it out.
It'd square me with myself.
3436
03:12:51,643 --> 03:12:55,056
I wish you'd get rid
of that bastard, Larry.
3437
03:12:55,064 --> 03:12:58,727
I can't have him pretending there's
something in common between him and me.
3438
03:13:01,070 --> 03:13:03,106
It's what's in your heart that counts.
3439
03:13:04,698 --> 03:13:08,532
There was love in my heart, not hate.
3440
03:13:08,535 --> 03:13:11,151
You're the liar!
3441
03:13:11,163 --> 03:13:13,779
I don't hate her. I couldn't!
3442
03:13:13,791 --> 03:13:16,498
And anyway, it had nothing to do with her.
You ask Larry.
3443
03:13:16,502 --> 03:13:20,586
Goddamn you,
stop shoving your rotten soul in my lap!
3444
03:13:20,589 --> 03:13:23,422
Don't worry about the chair, Larry.
3445
03:13:23,425 --> 03:13:26,713
I know you're still terrified by death,
3446
03:13:26,720 --> 03:13:30,304
but when you've made peace
with yourself, like I have...
3447
03:13:31,600 --> 03:13:33,556
You won't give a damn.
3448
03:13:38,524 --> 03:13:41,106
Listen, everybody. I've made up my mind.
3449
03:13:41,110 --> 03:13:43,817
The only way I can clear this up for you
so you'll realize
3450
03:13:43,821 --> 03:13:45,903
how contented and carefree
you ought to feel,
3451
03:13:45,906 --> 03:13:48,818
now that I've made you
get rid of your pipe dreams,
3452
03:13:48,826 --> 03:13:52,569
is to show you what a pipe dream did
to me and Evelyn.
3453
03:13:52,579 --> 03:13:55,366
I'm certain if I tell you about it
from the beginning,
3454
03:13:55,374 --> 03:13:58,992
you'll appreciate what I've done for you
and why I did it
3455
03:13:59,002 --> 03:14:01,368
and how damned grateful you ought to be,
3456
03:14:01,380 --> 03:14:03,336
instead of hating me.
3457
03:14:05,384 --> 03:14:07,625
You see, even as kids, Evelyn and me...
3458
03:14:07,636 --> 03:14:11,629
All we want is to pass out and get drunk
3459
03:14:11,640 --> 03:14:14,302
and a little peace!
3460
03:14:17,271 --> 03:14:19,557
All right, if that's the way you feel.
3461
03:14:19,565 --> 03:14:21,681
I don't want to cram it down your throats.
3462
03:14:21,692 --> 03:14:23,603
I don't need to tell anyone.
3463
03:14:23,610 --> 03:14:27,649
I don't feel guilty.
I'm only worried about you.
3464
03:14:28,740 --> 03:14:32,107
What did you do to this booze?
3465
03:14:32,119 --> 03:14:34,075
That's what we'd like to hear.
3466
03:14:35,581 --> 03:14:37,993
Ain't that right, Jimmy?
3467
03:14:38,000 --> 03:14:39,911
Yes.
3468
03:14:39,918 --> 03:14:42,375
Quite right.
3469
03:14:42,379 --> 03:14:46,338
It was all a stupid lie...
My nonsense about tomorrow.
3470
03:14:47,843 --> 03:14:51,427
Naturally, they would never
give me my position back.
3471
03:14:51,430 --> 03:14:53,842
And I would never dream of asking them.
3472
03:14:55,726 --> 03:14:59,389
I didn't resign.
I was fired for drunkenness.
3473
03:15:01,023 --> 03:15:04,481
And it was absurd of me
to excuse my drunkenness
3474
03:15:04,484 --> 03:15:08,272
by pretending it was my wife's adultery
that ruined my life.
3475
03:15:10,115 --> 03:15:12,527
As hickey guessed,
3476
03:15:12,534 --> 03:15:15,697
I was a drunkard before that.
3477
03:15:15,704 --> 03:15:20,664
I discovered early in life that living
frightened me when I was sober.
3478
03:15:23,128 --> 03:15:26,291
I've even forgotten why
I married Marjorie.
3479
03:15:27,716 --> 03:15:32,335
I had some idea of wanting a home,
perhaps.
3480
03:15:32,346 --> 03:15:35,884
But, of course,
I much preferred the nearest pub.
3481
03:15:37,768 --> 03:15:40,760
Why Marjorie married me, god knows.
3482
03:15:42,439 --> 03:15:47,433
She soon found out that I much preferred
drinking all night with my pals
3483
03:15:47,444 --> 03:15:50,106
to being at home in bed with her.
3484
03:15:51,740 --> 03:15:55,528
So, naturally, she was unfaithful.
3485
03:15:58,205 --> 03:16:01,572
And I was glad to be free,
3486
03:16:01,583 --> 03:16:06,168
even grateful to her, I think,
3487
03:16:06,171 --> 03:16:12,337
for giving me such a good, tragic excuse.
3488
03:16:18,475 --> 03:16:20,966
In the backroom if you want a drink.
3489
03:16:20,978 --> 03:16:22,684
Guy named hickman in the backroom?
3490
03:16:22,688 --> 03:16:25,771
- Think I know the names...
- Listen, you. This is murder.
3491
03:16:25,774 --> 03:16:30,063
It was hickman himself phoned in
and said we'd find him here around 2:00.
3492
03:16:30,070 --> 03:16:32,061
So that's who he phoned to.
3493
03:16:32,072 --> 03:16:33,778
Yeah, he's in there.
3494
03:16:33,782 --> 03:16:36,865
And if you want a confession,
all you gotta do is listen.
3495
03:16:36,868 --> 03:16:39,200
You can't stop the bastard talkin'.
3496
03:16:39,204 --> 03:16:43,413
I've gotta tell you,
your being this way now gets my goat.
3497
03:16:43,417 --> 03:16:45,203
And it's all wrong.
3498
03:16:45,210 --> 03:16:47,451
It puts things in my mind.
3499
03:16:47,462 --> 03:16:50,420
It makes me think
that if I got balled up about you,
3500
03:16:50,424 --> 03:16:52,961
then how do I know
I wasn't balled up about myself?
3501
03:16:52,968 --> 03:16:55,425
And that is just plain damned foolishness.
3502
03:16:55,429 --> 03:16:57,511
But when you know the story
of me and Evelyn,
3503
03:16:57,514 --> 03:17:00,756
you'll see it was the only
possible way out, for her sake.
3504
03:17:00,767 --> 03:17:03,474
Only I've gotta start
way back at the beginning.
3505
03:17:03,478 --> 03:17:05,434
Otherwise, you won't understand.
3506
03:17:07,149 --> 03:17:10,266
You see, even as a kid,
I was always restless.
3507
03:17:10,277 --> 03:17:12,233
I had to keep on the go.
3508
03:17:12,237 --> 03:17:15,525
You've heard the old saying
that ministers' sons are sons of guns?
3509
03:17:15,532 --> 03:17:17,648
Well, that was me and then some.
3510
03:17:17,659 --> 03:17:19,775
Home was like a jail.
3511
03:17:19,786 --> 03:17:21,617
Listening to my old man
whooping up hellfire
3512
03:17:21,621 --> 03:17:23,907
and scaring those hoosier suckers
into shelling out their dough
3513
03:17:23,915 --> 03:17:25,780
only handed me a laugh,
3514
03:17:25,792 --> 03:17:27,703
although I gotta hand it to him,
3515
03:17:27,711 --> 03:17:30,168
the way he sold them nothing
for something,
3516
03:17:30,172 --> 03:17:32,037
I guess I take after him,
3517
03:17:32,049 --> 03:17:34,131
and that's what made me a good salesman.
3518
03:17:34,134 --> 03:17:37,422
Well, like I said, home was like jail,
and so was school,
3519
03:17:37,429 --> 03:17:39,670
and so was that damned hick town.
3520
03:17:39,681 --> 03:17:41,592
The only places I liked
were the pool halls,
3521
03:17:41,600 --> 03:17:44,842
where I could smoke sweet caporals
and mop up a couple of beers, huh?
3522
03:17:44,853 --> 03:17:47,765
Thinking I was a hell-on-wheels sport.
3523
03:17:47,773 --> 03:17:50,105
We had one hooker shop in town.
3524
03:17:50,108 --> 03:17:53,475
Of course, I liked that too. Not that I
hardly ever had the entrance money.
3525
03:17:53,487 --> 03:17:56,024
My old man was a tight old bastard.
3526
03:17:56,031 --> 03:17:58,613
But I liked to sit around in the parlor
and joke with the girls,
3527
03:17:58,617 --> 03:18:02,610
and they liked me too 'cause
I'd kid 'em along and make 'em laugh.
3528
03:18:02,621 --> 03:18:05,488
Well, you know how a small town is.
3529
03:18:05,499 --> 03:18:07,364
Everybody got wise to me.
3530
03:18:07,376 --> 03:18:10,664
They said I was a no-good tramp.
But I didn't give a damn what they said.
3531
03:18:10,670 --> 03:18:12,661
I hated everybody in the place.
3532
03:18:12,672 --> 03:18:14,958
That is, except Evelyn.
3533
03:18:14,966 --> 03:18:18,129
And I loved Evelyn, even as a kid.
3534
03:18:18,136 --> 03:18:19,797
And Evelyn loved me.
3535
03:18:22,391 --> 03:18:25,554
Larry, I loved mother,
no matter what she did. I still do.
3536
03:18:25,560 --> 03:18:27,676
Yes, sir, as far back as I can remember,
3537
03:18:27,687 --> 03:18:30,474
Evelyn and I loved each other.
3538
03:18:30,482 --> 03:18:32,689
She always stood up for me.
3539
03:18:32,692 --> 03:18:36,435
She wouldn't believe the gossip,
or she pretended she wouldn't.
3540
03:18:36,446 --> 03:18:40,109
No one could convince her
that I was no good.
3541
03:18:40,117 --> 03:18:43,905
Evelyn was stubborn as hell
once she'd made up her mind.
3542
03:18:43,912 --> 03:18:48,906
Even when I'd admit things
and ask her forgiveness,
3543
03:18:48,917 --> 03:18:52,785
she'd make excuses for me
and defend me against myself.
3544
03:18:53,964 --> 03:18:56,000
And she'd kiss me
3545
03:18:56,007 --> 03:18:58,248
and she'd say she knew
that I wouldn't do it again.
3546
03:18:58,260 --> 03:19:00,546
I said that I wouldn't, and I'd promise...
3547
03:19:00,554 --> 03:19:02,920
I'd have to promise.
3548
03:19:02,931 --> 03:19:06,970
She was so damn sweet and good.
3549
03:19:06,977 --> 03:19:08,933
Yet I knew darned well...
3550
03:19:10,230 --> 03:19:13,097
No, sir, you couldn't stop Evelyn!
3551
03:19:13,108 --> 03:19:16,692
Nothing on earth could shake
her faith in me. Even I couldn't.
3552
03:19:18,155 --> 03:19:20,737
She was a sucker for a pipe dream.
3553
03:19:23,452 --> 03:19:27,946
Well, naturally, her family
forbid her seeing me.
3554
03:19:27,956 --> 03:19:31,869
They were one of the town's best,
rich for that hick burg.
3555
03:19:31,877 --> 03:19:34,414
They owned the trolley line
and the lumber company.
3556
03:19:34,421 --> 03:19:36,002
Strict methodists too.
3557
03:19:36,006 --> 03:19:39,498
Oh, did they hate my guts.
3558
03:19:39,509 --> 03:19:42,546
Even they couldn't stop Evelyn.
3559
03:19:42,554 --> 03:19:46,797
She'd sneak notes to me,
and we'd meet on the side.
3560
03:19:46,808 --> 03:19:48,764
But I was getting more restless,
3561
03:19:50,145 --> 03:19:53,182
and the town was getting more like a jail.
3562
03:19:53,190 --> 03:19:55,351
I made up my mind to beat it.
3563
03:19:55,358 --> 03:19:58,395
I knew exactly what
I wanted to be by that time.
3564
03:19:58,403 --> 03:20:01,145
I'd met a lot of drummers
around the hotel, and I liked them.
3565
03:20:01,156 --> 03:20:03,067
They were always telling jokes, huh?
3566
03:20:03,074 --> 03:20:06,862
They were sports.
Always on the move. I liked their life.
3567
03:20:06,870 --> 03:20:09,953
And I knew I could kid people
and sell things.
3568
03:20:09,956 --> 03:20:14,120
The hitch was how to get the railroad fare
to the big town.
3569
03:20:16,087 --> 03:20:20,171
Well, I told Mollie Arlington my trouble.
3570
03:20:20,175 --> 03:20:22,257
She was the madam of the cathouse.
3571
03:20:22,260 --> 03:20:23,966
She liked me.
3572
03:20:23,970 --> 03:20:26,837
She laughed and she said, "hell,
I'll stake you, kid. I'll bet on you.
3573
03:20:26,848 --> 03:20:28,884
With that grin of yours
and that line of bull,
3574
03:20:28,892 --> 03:20:32,134
you oughta be able
to sell skunks for good ratters."
3575
03:20:32,145 --> 03:20:34,101
Yeah, Mollie was all right.
3576
03:20:35,690 --> 03:20:38,022
She made me feel confident in myself.
3577
03:20:39,486 --> 03:20:42,728
Well, I paid her back too...
First money I earned.
3578
03:20:42,739 --> 03:20:46,231
I remember sending her a kidding letter
saying that I was peddling baby carriages,
3579
03:20:46,243 --> 03:20:48,859
and she and the girls
had better get in on our bargain offer.
3580
03:20:48,870 --> 03:20:50,030
Ho-ho-ho-ho!
3581
03:20:52,457 --> 03:20:54,413
That's getting ahead of my story.
3582
03:20:57,379 --> 03:20:59,540
That last night before I left town...
3583
03:21:01,299 --> 03:21:03,255
I had a date with Evelyn.
3584
03:21:04,553 --> 03:21:07,420
I got all worked up.
3585
03:21:07,430 --> 03:21:10,012
She was so pretty and sweet and good.
3586
03:21:11,268 --> 03:21:13,304
I told her straight.
3587
03:21:13,311 --> 03:21:17,270
I said, "you better forget me, Evelyn,
for your own sake.
3588
03:21:17,274 --> 03:21:19,856
I'm no good, and I never will be."
3589
03:21:21,820 --> 03:21:23,776
And I broke down and cried.
3590
03:21:25,407 --> 03:21:28,695
And she just said,
looking white and scared,
3591
03:21:28,702 --> 03:21:30,863
"why, Teddy, don't you still love me?"
3592
03:21:32,455 --> 03:21:34,946
And I said, "love you?
3593
03:21:34,958 --> 03:21:38,746
God, Evelyn, I love you more than
anything in the world, and I always will."
3594
03:21:40,171 --> 03:21:42,457
And she said,
3595
03:21:42,465 --> 03:21:44,421
"then nothing matters, Teddy.
3596
03:21:47,304 --> 03:21:50,762
Because nothing but death
can stop my loving you.
3597
03:21:52,225 --> 03:21:55,183
So when you're ready, you send for me,
and we'll be married.
3598
03:21:57,397 --> 03:22:01,481
And I know I can make you happy, Teddy,
and when you're happy,
3599
03:22:01,484 --> 03:22:05,102
you won't want to do any of those
bad things you've done anymore."
3600
03:22:07,115 --> 03:22:10,357
And I said, "of course I won't, Evelyn."
3601
03:22:10,368 --> 03:22:12,404
And I meant it.
3602
03:22:12,412 --> 03:22:14,368
I believed it.
3603
03:22:16,833 --> 03:22:20,075
I loved her so much,
she could make me believe anything.
3604
03:22:20,086 --> 03:22:24,830
You married her,
you caught her cheating with the iceman,
3605
03:22:24,841 --> 03:22:26,923
and you croaked her.
3606
03:22:26,926 --> 03:22:29,838
All we want
is to pass out in peace, b'jeez!
3607
03:22:30,972 --> 03:22:32,883
So I beat it to the big town.
3608
03:22:32,891 --> 03:22:35,928
I got a job easy.
It was a cinch for me to make good.
3609
03:22:35,935 --> 03:22:38,847
I had the knack. It was like a game,
sizing people up quick,
3610
03:22:38,855 --> 03:22:40,595
spotting what their pet pipe dreams were,
3611
03:22:40,607 --> 03:22:42,268
and then kidding them along that line,
3612
03:22:42,275 --> 03:22:45,233
pretending you believed what they
wanted to believe about themselves.
3613
03:22:45,236 --> 03:22:47,101
Then they liked you, they trusted you,
3614
03:22:47,113 --> 03:22:49,354
they wanted to buy something
to show their gratitude.
3615
03:22:49,366 --> 03:22:51,197
It was fun.
3616
03:22:51,201 --> 03:22:53,908
But still, all the while, I felt guilty,
3617
03:22:53,912 --> 03:22:57,746
as though I shouldn't be having
such a good time away from Evelyn.
3618
03:22:57,749 --> 03:23:00,957
In each of my letters, I'd tell her
how I missed her, but I'd warn her too.
3619
03:23:00,960 --> 03:23:02,450
I'd tell her about my faults,
3620
03:23:02,462 --> 03:23:05,420
how I liked my booze
every now and then and so on.
3621
03:23:05,423 --> 03:23:07,789
But you couldn't shake
Evelyn's belief in me
3622
03:23:07,801 --> 03:23:10,508
or her dreams about the future.
3623
03:23:10,512 --> 03:23:12,924
And then after each one of her letters,
3624
03:23:12,931 --> 03:23:15,513
I'd be as full of faith as she was.
3625
03:23:15,517 --> 03:23:20,307
So when I got enough saved to start us
off, I sent for her, and we got married.
3626
03:23:20,313 --> 03:23:23,055
Christ, wasn't I happy for a while!
3627
03:23:23,066 --> 03:23:24,647
And wasn't she happy.
3628
03:23:24,651 --> 03:23:26,437
I don't care what anybody says.
3629
03:23:26,444 --> 03:23:29,607
I'll bet there were never two people who
loved each other more than me and Evelyn.
3630
03:23:29,614 --> 03:23:31,696
Not only then, but ever afterwards.
3631
03:23:31,700 --> 03:23:33,861
In spite of everything I did.
3632
03:23:33,868 --> 03:23:35,779
Well, it's all there, at the start...
3633
03:23:35,787 --> 03:23:38,244
Everything that happened afterwards.
3634
03:23:38,248 --> 03:23:40,409
I never could learn to handle temptation.
3635
03:23:40,417 --> 03:23:41,998
I'd want to reform and mean it.
3636
03:23:42,001 --> 03:23:45,038
I'd promise her, and I'd promise myself,
and I'd believe it.
3637
03:23:45,046 --> 03:23:48,038
I'd even tell her,
"it's the last time, Evelyn."
3638
03:23:48,049 --> 03:23:51,837
And she'd say, "I know it's the last time,
Teddy. You'll never do it again."
3639
03:23:51,845 --> 03:23:54,131
And that's what made it so hard.
3640
03:23:54,139 --> 03:23:56,721
That's what made me feel
like such a rotten skunk...
3641
03:23:56,725 --> 03:23:58,966
Her always forgiving me.
3642
03:23:58,977 --> 03:24:00,717
My playing around with women,
for instance.
3643
03:24:00,729 --> 03:24:03,345
It was just a harmless good time to me.
It didn't mean anything.
3644
03:24:03,356 --> 03:24:05,267
But I'd know what it meant to her.
3645
03:24:05,275 --> 03:24:08,017
So I'd swear to myself, never again.
3646
03:24:08,027 --> 03:24:11,815
But you know how it is, traveling around.
Those damn hotel rooms.
3647
03:24:11,823 --> 03:24:13,939
You'd get to seeing things
in the wallpaper.
3648
03:24:13,950 --> 03:24:17,534
I'd get so damned bored,
so lonely and homesick.
3649
03:24:17,537 --> 03:24:20,153
But at the same time, sick of home.
3650
03:24:20,165 --> 03:24:23,453
I'd feel free.
I'd want to celebrate a little.
3651
03:24:23,460 --> 03:24:27,169
Well, I never drank on the job,
so it had to be dames. Any tart.
3652
03:24:27,172 --> 03:24:31,290
What I'd want was some tramp that I could
be myself with without being ashamed,
3653
03:24:31,301 --> 03:24:33,883
someone I could tell a dirty joke to,
and she'd laugh.
3654
03:24:33,887 --> 03:24:36,344
Jeez!
3655
03:24:36,347 --> 03:24:40,431
All the lousy jokes I've had to listen to
and pretend was funny.
3656
03:24:40,435 --> 03:24:45,225
Sometimes I'd try a joke that I thought
was a real corker on Evelyn.
3657
03:24:45,231 --> 03:24:48,268
She'd always make herself laugh.
3658
03:24:48,276 --> 03:24:52,110
But I could tell she thought
it was dirty and not funny.
3659
03:24:52,113 --> 03:24:56,197
She always knew about the tarts that I'd
been with when I came home from a trip.
3660
03:24:56,201 --> 03:24:59,159
She'd kiss me and look in my eyes,
and she'd know.
3661
03:25:00,497 --> 03:25:03,580
And I could see in her eyes
her not wanting to know.
3662
03:25:03,583 --> 03:25:06,666
And telling herself,
even if it is true, he can't help it.
3663
03:25:06,669 --> 03:25:09,376
They tempt him.
He's lonely. He hasn't got me.
3664
03:25:09,380 --> 03:25:12,167
It's only his body. He doesn't love them.
I'm the only one he loves.
3665
03:25:12,175 --> 03:25:14,257
And she was right too!
3666
03:25:16,179 --> 03:25:18,135
Couldn't if I wanted to.
3667
03:25:20,308 --> 03:25:24,392
She forgave me even
when it all had to come out in the open.
3668
03:25:24,395 --> 03:25:27,387
You know how it is
when you keep taking chances.
3669
03:25:27,398 --> 03:25:31,983
You may be lucky for a long time,
but you get nicked in the end.
3670
03:25:31,986 --> 03:25:34,352
I picked up a nail
from some tart in altoona.
3671
03:25:34,364 --> 03:25:37,527
Yeah, and she picked it up from some guy.
3672
03:25:37,534 --> 03:25:39,399
It's all in the game.
3673
03:25:39,410 --> 03:25:43,198
I had to do a lot of lying
and stalling when I got home,
3674
03:25:43,206 --> 03:25:45,822
but it didn't do any good.
3675
03:25:45,834 --> 03:25:48,792
The quack I went to got all my dough.
3676
03:25:48,795 --> 03:25:51,832
And he told me I was cured,
and I believed him.
3677
03:25:53,007 --> 03:25:55,373
But I wasn't.
3678
03:25:55,385 --> 03:25:57,592
And poor Evelyn.
3679
03:25:57,595 --> 03:26:00,632
But she did her best to make me believe
that she fell for my lie
3680
03:26:00,640 --> 03:26:03,131
about how traveling men get things
3681
03:26:03,142 --> 03:26:06,930
from drinking cups... on trains.
3682
03:26:10,149 --> 03:26:12,936
Anyway, she forgave me,
3683
03:26:12,944 --> 03:26:17,438
the same way she forgave me every time
I'd show up after a periodical drunk!
3684
03:26:19,075 --> 03:26:22,533
And you all know what I look like
after one of those. You saw me.
3685
03:26:22,537 --> 03:26:26,530
Like something lying in the gutter that no
alley cat would lower himself to drag in,
3686
03:26:26,541 --> 03:26:30,204
something they threw out of the dt ward
at bellevue along with the garbage,
3687
03:26:30,211 --> 03:26:32,167
something that should be dead...
3688
03:26:34,465 --> 03:26:35,921
But isn't.
3689
03:26:46,185 --> 03:26:49,052
Evelyn wouldn't have heard from me
in a month or more.
3690
03:26:50,773 --> 03:26:52,764
She'd been waiting there alone...
3691
03:26:54,652 --> 03:26:58,361
With the neighbors feeling sorry for her
out loud and shaking their heads.
3692
03:27:00,825 --> 03:27:03,862
That was until she got me
to move to the outskirts...
3693
03:27:05,038 --> 03:27:07,950
Where there weren't
any next-door neighbors.
3694
03:27:11,628 --> 03:27:13,414
Then the door would open.
3695
03:27:15,006 --> 03:27:16,712
In I'd stumble...
3696
03:27:18,843 --> 03:27:21,004
Looking like what I just said...
3697
03:27:22,847 --> 03:27:26,715
Into her home, which she always
kept so spotless and clean.
3698
03:27:27,977 --> 03:27:31,060
And I'd sworn it would never happen again!
3699
03:27:31,064 --> 03:27:34,682
And now I'd have to start swearing again
that this was the last time!
3700
03:27:34,692 --> 03:27:38,651
I could see disgust
having a battle in her eyes with love.
3701
03:27:38,655 --> 03:27:40,771
But love always won.
3702
03:27:43,409 --> 03:27:47,152
She'd make herself kiss me...
3703
03:27:50,625 --> 03:27:52,581
As though nothing had happened...
3704
03:27:55,546 --> 03:27:58,413
As though I'd just come home
from a business trip.
3705
03:28:01,302 --> 03:28:03,634
She'd never complain or bawl me out.
3706
03:28:06,182 --> 03:28:09,720
Christ, can you imagine
what a guilty skunk she made me feel!
3707
03:28:09,727 --> 03:28:12,639
If only once she admitted
that her pipe dream about tomorrow
3708
03:28:12,647 --> 03:28:15,184
and my behaving myself
would never be any good,
3709
03:28:15,191 --> 03:28:17,728
but she wouldn't!
3710
03:28:17,735 --> 03:28:20,192
She was stubborn as hell.
3711
03:28:20,196 --> 03:28:22,278
Once she'd set her mind on anything,
3712
03:28:22,281 --> 03:28:26,650
you couldn't shake her faith
that it had to come through tomorrow!
3713
03:28:31,290 --> 03:28:33,997
Well, it was the same old story
3714
03:28:34,002 --> 03:28:36,960
over and over, for years and years.
3715
03:28:38,631 --> 03:28:43,295
It kept piling up,
inside her and inside me.
3716
03:28:43,302 --> 03:28:45,793
God, can you picture
what I made her suffer,
3717
03:28:45,805 --> 03:28:48,091
and all the guilt that she made me feel,
3718
03:28:48,099 --> 03:28:51,466
and how I hated myself?
3719
03:28:51,477 --> 03:28:55,345
If she only hadn't been so damned good,
3720
03:28:55,356 --> 03:28:58,894
if she'd have been the same kind of wife
that I was a husband.
3721
03:28:58,901 --> 03:29:01,392
God, sometimes I used to pray that she'd...
3722
03:29:03,322 --> 03:29:06,314
I'd even say to her,
"go on, why don't you, Evelyn?
3723
03:29:06,325 --> 03:29:09,192
It'd serve me right.
I wouldn't mind. I'd forgive you."
3724
03:29:10,663 --> 03:29:13,575
Of course, I'd pretend I was kidding,
3725
03:29:13,583 --> 03:29:18,247
the same way I used to joke here about
her being in the hay with the iceman.
3726
03:29:18,254 --> 03:29:21,121
She'd have felt so hurt
if I said it seriously.
3727
03:29:22,550 --> 03:29:25,838
She'd have thought I stopped loving her.
3728
03:29:25,845 --> 03:29:28,928
Ah! I suppose you think I'm a liar,
3729
03:29:28,931 --> 03:29:32,799
that no woman could have stood
all she stood and still loved me so much,
3730
03:29:32,810 --> 03:29:35,597
that it isn't human for a woman
to be so pitying and forgiving.
3731
03:29:35,605 --> 03:29:37,971
Well, I am not lying,
3732
03:29:37,982 --> 03:29:41,349
and if you'd ever seen her,
you'd realize that I wasn't.
3733
03:29:42,570 --> 03:29:45,232
It was written all over her face...
3734
03:29:45,239 --> 03:29:48,322
Sweetness, love, pity, forgiveness.
3735
03:29:49,911 --> 03:29:53,074
Wait. I'll show you.
I always carry her picture.
3736
03:30:02,340 --> 03:30:05,002
No, I'm forgetting.
3737
03:30:05,009 --> 03:30:08,001
I tore it up afterwards.
3738
03:30:08,012 --> 03:30:10,719
I didn't need it anymore.
3739
03:30:11,849 --> 03:30:14,556
Jeez, hickey, jeez!
3740
03:30:14,560 --> 03:30:17,051
I burnt up mother's picture, Larry.
3741
03:30:17,063 --> 03:30:19,179
Her eyes kept
following me around all the time.
3742
03:30:19,190 --> 03:30:21,272
They seemed to be wishing I was dead.
3743
03:30:21,275 --> 03:30:23,311
It kept piling up, like I said.
3744
03:30:25,279 --> 03:30:27,611
I got so I thought about it all the time.
3745
03:30:27,615 --> 03:30:30,982
And I hated myself more and more,
thinking of all the wrong I'd done
3746
03:30:30,993 --> 03:30:33,826
to the sweetest woman in the world
that loved me so much.
3747
03:30:33,830 --> 03:30:35,991
It even got so I'd curse myself
for a lousy bastard
3748
03:30:35,998 --> 03:30:38,410
every time I saw myself in the mirror.
3749
03:30:38,417 --> 03:30:41,909
I felt such pity for her,
it drove me crazy.
3750
03:30:41,921 --> 03:30:43,627
You'd never believe it, would you, Larry?
3751
03:30:43,631 --> 03:30:46,998
A guy like me, that's knocked
around so much, could feel such pity.
3752
03:30:50,263 --> 03:30:56,008
It got so every night
I'd... wind up hiding my face in her lap,
3753
03:30:57,019 --> 03:30:59,135
bawling and begging for forgiveness.
3754
03:31:00,648 --> 03:31:03,481
Of course, she'd always
comfort me and say,
3755
03:31:03,484 --> 03:31:05,850
"never mind, Teddy.
3756
03:31:05,862 --> 03:31:08,103
I know you won't ever again.”
3757
03:31:10,241 --> 03:31:12,197
Christ, I loved her so.
3758
03:31:14,954 --> 03:31:17,536
But I began to hate that pipe dream!
3759
03:31:19,208 --> 03:31:21,369
I was beginning to think
I was going bughouse,
3760
03:31:21,377 --> 03:31:25,336
because sometimes
I couldn't forgive her for forgiving me!
3761
03:31:25,339 --> 03:31:28,877
I even caught myself hating her
for making me hate myself so much!
3762
03:31:28,885 --> 03:31:32,423
There's a limit to the guilt you can feel
and the forgiveness and pity you can take!
3763
03:31:32,430 --> 03:31:35,217
You have to begin blaming
somebody else too!
3764
03:31:37,059 --> 03:31:41,473
It got so sometimes when she'd kiss me...
3765
03:31:43,441 --> 03:31:46,478
It was like she was doing it on purpose
3766
03:31:46,485 --> 03:31:48,225
to humiliate me,
3767
03:31:49,822 --> 03:31:52,859
as if she'd spit in my face!
3768
03:31:52,867 --> 03:31:56,576
Well, I saw how crazy
and rotten that was of me,
3769
03:31:56,579 --> 03:31:59,366
and I just hated myself more and more!
3770
03:32:01,250 --> 03:32:04,583
You'd never believe
that I could hate so much.
3771
03:32:04,587 --> 03:32:06,623
Huh, Larry?
3772
03:32:06,631 --> 03:32:10,795
A good-natured,
happy-go-lucky slob like me.
3773
03:32:14,472 --> 03:32:16,963
As the time got nearer when I was due
to come here for my drunk
3774
03:32:16,974 --> 03:32:18,430
around Harry's birthday,
3775
03:32:19,352 --> 03:32:21,638
I got nearly crazy.
3776
03:32:21,646 --> 03:32:24,604
I kept swearing to her every night
that this time I really wouldn't,
3777
03:32:24,607 --> 03:32:28,350
until I'd made it a real final test
to myself and to her.
3778
03:32:28,361 --> 03:32:30,192
She kept encouraging me and saying,
3779
03:32:30,196 --> 03:32:32,107
"I can see you really mean it now, Teddy.
3780
03:32:32,114 --> 03:32:36,153
I know you'll conquer it this time,
and we'll be so happy."
3781
03:32:36,160 --> 03:32:38,902
And when she'd say that and kiss me...
3782
03:32:41,374 --> 03:32:43,330
I'd believe it too.
3783
03:32:45,294 --> 03:32:48,081
Then she'd go to bed,
3784
03:32:48,089 --> 03:32:51,047
and I'd stay up 'cause I couldn't sleep
3785
03:32:51,050 --> 03:32:54,508
and I didn't want to disturb her,
rolling and twisting around.
3786
03:32:54,512 --> 03:32:56,468
I'd get so damned lonely.
3787
03:32:58,099 --> 03:33:01,512
I'd get to thinking
how peaceful it was here,
3788
03:33:01,519 --> 03:33:03,350
sittin' around with the old gang,
gettin' drunk,
3789
03:33:03,354 --> 03:33:05,094
and forgetting about love.
3790
03:33:05,106 --> 03:33:07,643
Laughing and singing and joking,
swapping lies.
3791
03:33:09,443 --> 03:33:12,435
And finally I knew I had to come.
3792
03:33:14,532 --> 03:33:18,024
And I knew if I came this time,
it would be the finish!
3793
03:33:18,035 --> 03:33:21,448
'Cause I'd never have the guts
to go back and be forgiven again,
3794
03:33:21,455 --> 03:33:24,947
and that would break Evelyn's heart
3795
03:33:24,959 --> 03:33:26,790
because to her that would mean
3796
03:33:28,254 --> 03:33:30,290
I didn't love her anymore.
3797
03:33:33,926 --> 03:33:38,886
That last night I'd driven myself crazy
trying to figure a way out for her.
3798
03:33:40,725 --> 03:33:42,681
I went into the bedroom.
3799
03:33:43,853 --> 03:33:46,185
I was going to tell her it was the end.
3800
03:33:47,106 --> 03:33:50,348
But I couldn't do that to her.
3801
03:33:50,359 --> 03:33:53,021
She was sound asleep.
3802
03:33:53,029 --> 03:33:57,989
And I thought, god, if only she'd
never wake up, she'd never know.
3803
03:34:00,870 --> 03:34:03,703
And then it came to me...
3804
03:34:03,706 --> 03:34:06,493
The one possible way out, for her sake.
3805
03:34:09,837 --> 03:34:13,125
I remembered I'd given her a gun
for protection while I was away.
3806
03:34:15,134 --> 03:34:17,090
It was in the bureau drawer.
3807
03:34:19,388 --> 03:34:22,300
She'd never feel any pain.
3808
03:34:22,308 --> 03:34:24,549
She'd never wake up from her dream.
3809
03:34:26,771 --> 03:34:28,227
So I...
3810
03:34:31,108 --> 03:34:33,599
So I killed her.
3811
03:34:33,611 --> 03:34:35,977
I may as well confess, Larry.
3812
03:34:37,031 --> 03:34:38,817
There's no use lying anymore.
3813
03:34:38,824 --> 03:34:40,780
You know anyway.
3814
03:34:42,328 --> 03:34:44,410
I didn't give a damn about the money.
3815
03:34:44,413 --> 03:34:47,246
It was because I hated her.
3816
03:34:49,001 --> 03:34:51,993
And then I saw that I'd always known
that was the only possible way
3817
03:34:52,004 --> 03:34:56,247
to give her peace and free her
from the misery of loving me.
3818
03:34:56,258 --> 03:34:59,967
I saw it meant peace for me, too,
knowing she was at peace.
3819
03:34:59,970 --> 03:35:03,588
I felt as though a ton of guilt
was lifted off my mind.
3820
03:35:03,599 --> 03:35:06,682
I remember I stood by the bed
and suddenly I had to laugh.
3821
03:35:06,685 --> 03:35:08,266
I couldn't help it.
3822
03:35:08,270 --> 03:35:10,261
And I knew Evelyn would forgive me.
3823
03:35:10,272 --> 03:35:12,263
I remember I'd heard myself
speaking to her,
3824
03:35:12,274 --> 03:35:15,311
as though it was something
I'd always wanted to say.
3825
03:35:15,319 --> 03:35:18,652
"Well, you know what you can do
with your pipe dream now,
3826
03:35:18,656 --> 03:35:20,817
you damned bitch!"
3827
03:35:30,501 --> 03:35:32,833
- No. I never...
- Yes. Yes, that's it!
3828
03:35:32,837 --> 03:35:35,123
Her and that damned movement pipe dream!
Huh, Larry?
3829
03:35:35,131 --> 03:35:38,498
No, that's a lie!
Good god, I could have never said that!
3830
03:35:38,509 --> 03:35:40,591
If I had, I'd have gone insane!
3831
03:35:40,594 --> 03:35:44,086
Why, I loved Evelyn better
than anything in life!
3832
03:35:44,098 --> 03:35:47,386
Boys, you're my old pals!
You've known old hickey for years.
3833
03:35:47,393 --> 03:35:49,258
You know that I could never...
3834
03:35:49,270 --> 03:35:50,976
Harry!
3835
03:35:50,980 --> 03:35:53,141
Harry, you've known me
longer than anybody else.
3836
03:35:53,149 --> 03:35:56,312
You know that I must have been insane,
don't you, governor?
3837
03:35:56,318 --> 03:35:58,274
Who the hell cares?
3838
03:35:59,572 --> 03:36:03,281
Insane? You mean, you went really insane?
3839
03:36:03,284 --> 03:36:05,070
Yes! Or I couldn't have laughed!
3840
03:36:05,077 --> 03:36:06,908
I couldn't have said that to her!
3841
03:36:06,912 --> 03:36:10,746
That's enough, hickman.
You know who we are. You're under arrest.
3842
03:36:10,749 --> 03:36:13,741
Come along and spill your guts
where we can get it on...
3843
03:36:13,752 --> 03:36:15,083
You owe me a break!
3844
03:36:15,087 --> 03:36:17,499
I phoned and made it easy for you,
didn't I? Just a few minutes!
3845
03:36:17,506 --> 03:36:20,498
Harry, you know I couldn't have
said that to Evelyn, don't you? Unless...
3846
03:36:20,509 --> 03:36:23,251
And you've been crazy ever since?
3847
03:36:23,262 --> 03:36:25,173
Everything you've said and done here...
3848
03:36:25,181 --> 03:36:27,888
Now, governor, up to your old tricks, eh?
3849
03:36:27,892 --> 03:36:29,632
I see what you're driving at, but I c...
3850
03:36:47,203 --> 03:36:49,194
Yes, of course, Harry.
3851
03:36:49,205 --> 03:36:51,912
I've been out of my mind ever since.
Ever since I've been here.
3852
03:36:51,916 --> 03:36:54,123
You saw I was insane, didn't you?
3853
03:36:54,126 --> 03:36:57,209
Can it! I've had enough of your act.
Save it for the jury.
3854
03:36:57,213 --> 03:36:59,750
Now, listen, you guys.
Don't fall for his lies.
3855
03:36:59,757 --> 03:37:02,248
He's starting to get foxy now
and thinks he'll plead insanity.
3856
03:37:02,259 --> 03:37:03,465
But he can't get away with that.
3857
03:37:03,469 --> 03:37:06,552
B'jeez, you dumb dick.
3858
03:37:09,266 --> 03:37:10,972
We've known him for years,
3859
03:37:10,976 --> 03:37:14,639
and every one of us noticed he was nutty
the minute he showed up here.
3860
03:37:14,647 --> 03:37:17,229
If you'd seen the damned fool things
he made us do.
3861
03:37:17,233 --> 03:37:19,315
We only did them because we...
3862
03:37:19,318 --> 03:37:23,482
Because we hoped he'd come out of it
if we kidded him along and humored him.
3863
03:37:23,489 --> 03:37:26,151
Ain't that right, fellas?
3864
03:37:26,158 --> 03:37:28,695
A fine bunch of rats!
3865
03:37:28,702 --> 03:37:31,239
Covering up for a dirty,
cold-blooded murderer.
3866
03:37:31,247 --> 03:37:33,784
Is that so?
3867
03:37:33,791 --> 03:37:36,282
B'jeez, you know the old story.
3868
03:37:36,293 --> 03:37:39,501
When Saint Patrick
drove the snakes out of Ireland,
3869
03:37:39,505 --> 03:37:42,212
they swam to New York
and joined the police force.
3870
03:37:45,135 --> 03:37:47,797
You stand up for your rights,
b'jeez, hickey.
3871
03:37:47,805 --> 03:37:50,296
I've still got friends at the hall.
3872
03:37:50,307 --> 03:37:53,595
I'll have this guy back in uniform,
pounding a beat
3873
03:37:53,602 --> 03:37:57,220
where the only graft he'll get
will be stealing tin cans from the goats.
3874
03:37:58,774 --> 03:38:04,235
Listen, you cockeyed old bum,
for a plugged nickel, I'd...
3875
03:38:04,238 --> 03:38:06,604
- Come on, you...
- Oh, I want to go, officer.
3876
03:38:06,615 --> 03:38:10,449
I can hardly wait now. I should've phoned
you from the house right afterwards.
3877
03:38:10,452 --> 03:38:12,659
It was a waste of time coming here.
3878
03:38:12,663 --> 03:38:15,075
I've gotta explain to Evelyn,
but I know she's forgiven me.
3879
03:38:15,082 --> 03:38:18,700
She knows I was insane.
You've got me all wrong, officer.
3880
03:38:18,711 --> 03:38:20,417
I want to go to the chair.
3881
03:38:20,421 --> 03:38:22,503
Crap!
3882
03:38:22,506 --> 03:38:24,588
God, you're a dumb dick.
3883
03:38:24,592 --> 03:38:27,584
Do you suppose I give a damn
about life now?
3884
03:38:27,595 --> 03:38:29,586
Why, you bonehead.
3885
03:38:29,597 --> 03:38:33,556
I haven't got a single damned
lying hope or pipe dream left.
3886
03:38:39,898 --> 03:38:41,604
Don't worry, hickey!
3887
03:38:41,609 --> 03:38:43,895
They can't give you the chair!
3888
03:38:43,902 --> 03:38:48,020
We'll testify you was crazy!
Won't we, fellas?
3889
03:38:52,077 --> 03:38:54,819
Jesus, he's gone.
3890
03:38:54,830 --> 03:38:56,991
Poor crazy son of a bitch.
3891
03:38:58,334 --> 03:39:01,167
Well, b'jeez, I need a drink.
3892
03:39:01,170 --> 03:39:03,752
Maybe it'll have
the old kick now he's gone.
3893
03:39:05,341 --> 03:39:07,127
Yeah, boss.
3894
03:39:07,134 --> 03:39:09,295
Maybe we can get drunk now.
3895
03:39:19,021 --> 03:39:22,354
May the chair bring him peace at last,
3896
03:39:22,358 --> 03:39:24,724
the poor tortured bastard.
3897
03:39:26,987 --> 03:39:29,774
Yes, but he isn't the only one
who needs peace, Larry.
3898
03:39:33,702 --> 03:39:35,658
I can't feel sorry for him.
3899
03:39:36,622 --> 03:39:39,034
He's lucky.
3900
03:39:39,041 --> 03:39:41,202
He's through now.
It's all decided for him.
3901
03:39:46,173 --> 03:39:48,585
I wish it was decided for me.
3902
03:39:48,592 --> 03:39:52,255
I've never been any good
at deciding things,
3903
03:39:52,262 --> 03:39:54,127
even about selling out.
3904
03:39:54,139 --> 03:39:58,553
It was the tart that the detective agency
got after me that put it in my mind.
3905
03:40:00,688 --> 03:40:02,644
You remember what mother's like, Larry.
3906
03:40:05,067 --> 03:40:08,605
She always decided what I must do.
She made all the decisions for me.
3907
03:40:10,823 --> 03:40:13,360
She doesn't like anyone
but herself to be free.
3908
03:40:21,125 --> 03:40:25,084
I suppose you think I ought to have made
those dicks take me away with hickey.
3909
03:40:28,048 --> 03:40:30,004
How could I prove it, Larry? Huh?
3910
03:40:33,804 --> 03:40:36,386
They'd think I was nutty
'cause she's still alive.
3911
03:40:40,561 --> 03:40:43,724
You're the only one
who can understand how guilty I am,
3912
03:40:43,731 --> 03:40:46,518
'cause you know her
and what I've done to her.
3913
03:40:46,525 --> 03:40:50,188
You're the only one who can understand
that I'm much guiltier than he is.
3914
03:40:51,697 --> 03:40:54,154
That what I did is much worse than murder
because she's dead,
3915
03:40:54,158 --> 03:40:56,114
and yet she has to live.
3916
03:40:57,828 --> 03:41:00,160
For a little while.
3917
03:41:00,164 --> 03:41:03,247
She can't live long in jail.
3918
03:41:03,250 --> 03:41:05,411
She loves her freedom too much.
3919
03:41:11,008 --> 03:41:13,294
I can't kid myself like hickey...
3920
03:41:15,304 --> 03:41:17,260
That she's at peace.
3921
03:41:22,269 --> 03:41:24,760
As long as she lives,
3922
03:41:24,772 --> 03:41:29,266
she'll never be able to forget what
I've done to her, not even in her sleep.
3923
03:41:30,986 --> 03:41:33,022
She'll never have a second's peace.
3924
03:41:44,500 --> 03:41:46,456
Jesus, Larry, say something.
3925
03:41:51,215 --> 03:41:53,331
I'm not bluffing either,
3926
03:41:53,342 --> 03:41:55,799
that I was crazy afterwards
3927
03:41:55,803 --> 03:41:57,885
when I laughed and thought to myself,
3928
03:41:57,888 --> 03:42:00,595
"you know what you can do
with your freedom pipe dream now,
3929
03:42:00,599 --> 03:42:02,510
don't you, you damn old bitch?"
3930
03:42:02,518 --> 03:42:04,008
Gol
3931
03:42:04,019 --> 03:42:06,385
get the hell out of life, goddamn you,
3932
03:42:06,396 --> 03:42:08,307
before I choke it out of you!
3933
03:42:08,315 --> 03:42:10,226
Go on! Go up.
3934
03:42:12,736 --> 03:42:14,192
Thanks, Larry.
3935
03:42:20,744 --> 03:42:24,111
I can see now that it's the only possible
way I can ever get free from her.
3936
03:42:25,666 --> 03:42:27,782
I guess I've known that all my life.
3937
03:42:37,094 --> 03:42:39,551
Oh.
3938
03:42:41,807 --> 03:42:45,174
It ought to give mother
a little comfort too.
3939
03:42:48,647 --> 03:42:52,640
She'll finally be able to play the
incorruptible mother of the revolution,
3940
03:42:52,651 --> 03:42:54,812
whose only child's a proletariat.
3941
03:42:57,990 --> 03:43:03,860
She'll be able to say, "justice is done,
so may all traitors die!"
3942
03:43:03,871 --> 03:43:05,827
She'll be able to say...
3943
03:43:08,458 --> 03:43:10,995
"I'm glad he's dead!
3944
03:43:12,421 --> 03:43:14,377
Long live the revolution.”
3945
03:43:20,262 --> 03:43:22,378
You know her, Larry. She was always a ham.
3946
03:43:22,389 --> 03:43:28,100
Go, for the love of Christ, you mad,
tortured bastard, for your own sake.
3947
03:43:35,319 --> 03:43:37,105
Thanks, Larry.
3948
03:43:37,112 --> 03:43:39,148
That's kind.
3949
03:43:42,409 --> 03:43:46,277
I knew you were the only one
who could understand my side of it.
3950
03:43:57,132 --> 03:44:00,875
Hello, little Don, little monkey face.
3951
03:44:00,886 --> 03:44:04,049
Don't be a fool. Buy me a drink.
3952
03:44:06,266 --> 03:44:07,847
Sure, I will, Hugo.
3953
03:44:09,895 --> 03:44:11,851
Tomorrow, beneath the Willow trees.
3954
03:44:13,732 --> 03:44:15,313
Stupid fool.
3955
03:44:15,317 --> 03:44:17,182
Hickey make you crazy too.
3956
03:44:31,458 --> 03:44:36,248
I'm glad, Larry, they take
that crazy hickey away to asylum.
3957
03:44:37,881 --> 03:44:40,873
He makes me have bad dreams.
3958
03:44:40,884 --> 03:44:43,375
He makes me tell lies about myself.
3959
03:44:43,387 --> 03:44:46,174
He makes me want to spit
on all I've ever dreamed.
3960
03:44:46,181 --> 03:44:48,923
Yes, I'm glad they take him to asylum!
3961
03:44:55,941 --> 03:44:58,102
I don't feel I'm dying now.
3962
03:44:59,319 --> 03:45:03,403
He was selling death to me,
that crazy salesman.
3963
03:45:04,866 --> 03:45:08,233
I think I have a drink now, Larry.
3964
03:45:11,039 --> 03:45:15,533
B'jeez, fellas.
I'm feeling the old kick, or I'm a liar.
3965
03:45:15,544 --> 03:45:17,910
It's putting life back in me.
3966
03:45:17,921 --> 03:45:20,003
It was hickey that kept it from...
3967
03:45:20,007 --> 03:45:23,340
B'jeez, I know that sounds crazy,
but he was crazy,
3968
03:45:23,343 --> 03:45:26,631
and he'd got all of us
as bughouse as he was.
3969
03:45:26,638 --> 03:45:28,469
Dangerous too.
3970
03:45:28,473 --> 03:45:33,137
Look at me pretending to start
for a walk just to keep him quiet.
3971
03:45:33,145 --> 03:45:35,807
I knew damned well
it wasn't the right day for it.
3972
03:45:35,814 --> 03:45:40,057
The sun was broiling
and the streets full of automobiles.
3973
03:45:40,068 --> 03:45:43,276
Aye, I could feel myself
getting sunstroke,
3974
03:45:43,280 --> 03:45:45,521
and an automobile damn near ran over me.
3975
03:45:45,532 --> 03:45:48,399
Didn't it, rocky?
He was watching. Ask rocky. Didn't it?
3976
03:45:48,410 --> 03:45:51,948
The automobile, boss? Sure, I seen it.
3977
03:45:51,955 --> 03:45:53,661
Just missed you.
3978
03:45:53,665 --> 03:45:56,122
I thought you was a goner.
3979
03:45:56,126 --> 03:45:58,583
On the word of an honest bartender.
3980
03:46:01,131 --> 03:46:03,668
You're a bartender, all right.
3981
03:46:03,675 --> 03:46:06,667
No one can say different.
3982
03:46:06,678 --> 03:46:09,590
But, b'jeez, don't pull that honest junk.
3983
03:46:11,058 --> 03:46:14,095
You and Chuck ought to have cards
in the burglars' union.
3984
03:46:20,734 --> 03:46:23,771
B'jeez, it's good to hear
someone laugh again.
3985
03:46:25,113 --> 03:46:29,277
All the time that bas...
That poor old hickey was here,
3986
03:46:29,284 --> 03:46:32,071
I didn't have the heart.
3987
03:46:32,079 --> 03:46:34,616
B'jeez, I'm getting drunk and glad of it.
3988
03:46:36,208 --> 03:46:38,324
Come on, fellas. It's on the house.
3989
03:46:38,335 --> 03:46:39,791
Cheers.
3990
03:46:44,216 --> 03:46:46,923
Ah. Poor old hickey.
3991
03:46:46,927 --> 03:46:51,296
We mustn't hold him responsible
for anything he's done.
3992
03:46:51,306 --> 03:46:52,967
Yeah. Nah.
3993
03:46:52,974 --> 03:46:56,842
We'll remember him
the way we've always known him before...
3994
03:46:56,853 --> 03:47:01,062
The kindest, biggest-hearted guy
that ever wore shoe leather.
3995
03:47:01,066 --> 03:47:02,476
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
3996
03:47:02,484 --> 03:47:05,317
- The best.
- Fine chap. Fine chap.
3997
03:47:05,320 --> 03:47:09,313
Good luck to him in matteawan!
Come on. Bottoms up.
3998
03:47:17,040 --> 03:47:18,951
Christ.
3999
03:47:18,959 --> 03:47:20,540
Why don't he...
4000
03:47:21,670 --> 03:47:23,581
Why don't he what?
4001
03:47:23,588 --> 03:47:26,625
Ah, don't be a fool. Hickey's gone.
4002
03:47:26,633 --> 03:47:28,589
He was crazy.
4003
03:47:28,593 --> 03:47:30,174
Have a drink.
4004
03:47:32,597 --> 03:47:35,714
What's the matter with you, Larry?
4005
03:47:35,725 --> 03:47:37,681
You look funny.
4006
03:47:39,187 --> 03:47:41,553
What you listen for out in backyard?
4007
03:47:43,817 --> 03:47:48,527
Well, I thank god now that me and Chuck
did all we could to humor the poor nut.
4008
03:47:48,530 --> 03:47:52,569
Imagine us goin' off
like we really meant to get married,
4009
03:47:52,576 --> 03:47:55,363
when we ain't even
picked out the farm yet.
4010
03:47:56,955 --> 03:48:00,573
Sure thing, baby.
We kidded him we was serious.
4011
03:48:00,584 --> 03:48:05,078
I may as well say now
I detected his condition almost at once.
4012
03:48:05,088 --> 03:48:06,328
Yeah?
4013
03:48:06,339 --> 03:48:09,376
All that talk of his about tomorrow,
for example.
4014
03:48:10,969 --> 03:48:14,382
He had the fixed idea of the insane.
4015
03:48:14,389 --> 03:48:16,675
It only makes them worse to cross them.
4016
03:48:18,185 --> 03:48:20,892
Same with me, Jimmy.
Only I spent the day in the park.
4017
03:48:20,896 --> 03:48:22,978
I wasn't such a damned fool as to...
4018
03:48:24,399 --> 03:48:28,062
Picture my predicament
if I had gone to the consulate.
4019
03:48:29,362 --> 03:48:32,900
The pal of mine there is
a bit of a humorous blighter.
4020
03:48:32,908 --> 03:48:35,695
He'd have gotten me a job
out of pure spite.
4021
03:48:37,162 --> 03:48:42,077
So I strolled about
and finally came to roost in the park.
4022
03:48:42,083 --> 03:48:45,996
And lo and behold, who should
be on the neighboring bench
4023
03:48:46,004 --> 03:48:48,586
but my battlefield companion,
4024
03:48:48,590 --> 03:48:50,831
the boer that walks like a man.
4025
03:48:52,510 --> 03:48:55,718
Who, if the British government
had taken my advice,
4026
03:48:55,722 --> 03:48:59,931
would have been removed
from his fetid kraal in the veldt
4027
03:48:59,935 --> 03:49:03,473
straight to the baboon's cage
in the London zoo.
4028
03:49:04,981 --> 03:49:08,189
And little children would now
be asking their nurses,
4029
03:49:08,193 --> 03:49:12,027
"tell me, Nana, is that the boer general,
4030
03:49:12,030 --> 03:49:14,362
the one with the blue behind?"
4031
03:49:25,043 --> 03:49:28,126
No offense meant, piet, old chap.
4032
03:49:29,172 --> 03:49:31,754
No offense taken,
4033
03:49:31,758 --> 03:49:34,340
you damned limey.
4034
03:49:49,859 --> 03:49:54,523
About the job.
I felt the same as you, Cecil.
4035
03:50:00,495 --> 03:50:03,453
What's the matter, Larry?
4036
03:50:03,456 --> 03:50:05,822
You look scared.
4037
03:50:05,834 --> 03:50:07,620
What are you listening for out there?
4038
03:50:07,627 --> 03:50:09,413
No, sir.
4039
03:50:11,006 --> 03:50:13,668
I wasn't fool enough
to get in no crap game,
4040
03:50:13,675 --> 03:50:15,506
not while hickey's around.
4041
03:50:15,510 --> 03:50:17,751
Them crazy people put a jinx on you.
4042
03:50:20,473 --> 03:50:24,432
It wasn't no good for me
trying to explain to a crazy guy
4043
03:50:24,436 --> 03:50:26,222
but it ain't the right time.
4044
03:50:26,229 --> 03:50:27,844
Hey!
4045
03:50:27,856 --> 03:50:30,814
You know how getting reinstated is.
4046
03:50:30,817 --> 03:50:32,808
B'jeez, I'm cockeyed.
4047
03:50:34,362 --> 03:50:37,195
B'jeez, you're all cockeyed.
4048
03:50:37,198 --> 03:50:40,281
And b'jeez, we're all all right!
4049
03:50:40,285 --> 03:50:42,901
Let's have another.
4050
03:50:45,457 --> 03:50:48,119
What's the matter, Larry?
4051
03:50:48,126 --> 03:50:50,082
Why you keep eyes shut?
4052
03:50:51,379 --> 03:50:53,791
You look dead!
4053
03:50:55,759 --> 03:50:57,875
What you listen for in backyard?
4054
03:50:59,429 --> 03:51:03,092
You crazy fool!
You give me bad dreams too!
4055
03:51:04,517 --> 03:51:06,803
Hello there, Hugo!
4056
03:51:10,815 --> 03:51:13,352
Welcome to the party!
4057
03:51:13,360 --> 03:51:15,601
Yes, b'jeez, Hugo. Sit down.
4058
03:51:15,612 --> 03:51:18,775
Have a drink! Have ten drinks, b'jeez!
4059
03:51:22,327 --> 03:51:23,817
Hello, little Harry!
4060
03:51:27,665 --> 03:51:31,078
Hello, nice, funny, little monkey faces.
4061
03:51:33,171 --> 03:51:35,253
Goddamned stupid bourgeois!
4062
03:51:36,674 --> 03:51:39,336
Soon comes the day of judgment!
4063
03:51:42,514 --> 03:51:45,722
Give me ten drinks, Harry.
Don't be a fool!
4064
03:51:46,601 --> 03:51:49,263
Gangway for two good whores.
4065
03:51:49,270 --> 03:51:53,138
Yeah. And we want a drink, quick.
4066
03:51:53,149 --> 03:51:56,061
Yeah, yeah. Shake the lead
outta your pants, you pimp!
4067
03:51:56,069 --> 03:51:57,775
We want a little service, huh?
4068
03:51:57,779 --> 03:52:00,566
Well, look who's here.
4069
03:52:00,573 --> 03:52:03,064
Hello there, sweethearts.
4070
03:52:03,076 --> 03:52:07,365
Jeez, I was beginning
to worry about you, honest.
4071
03:52:07,372 --> 03:52:09,454
Yeah? What kind of gag is this?
4072
03:52:09,457 --> 03:52:11,664
Come on and join the party, you broads.
4073
03:52:11,668 --> 03:52:13,579
B'jeez, I'm glad to see you.
4074
03:52:13,586 --> 03:52:16,828
- Hey, what's... what's come off here?
- Where's that louse hickey?
4075
03:52:16,840 --> 03:52:19,456
Ah, the cops got 'im.
4076
03:52:19,467 --> 03:52:22,630
He's gone crazy and croaked his wife.
4077
03:52:22,637 --> 03:52:23,922
Jeez.
4078
03:52:23,930 --> 03:52:26,296
So forget about that whore stuff.
4079
03:52:26,307 --> 03:52:30,016
I'll knock the block off
anyone calls you whores.
4080
03:52:30,019 --> 03:52:34,262
- Ha-ha-ha!
- You're tarts, and what the hell of it?
4081
03:52:34,274 --> 03:52:36,515
You're as good as anyone.
4082
03:52:36,526 --> 03:52:39,233
So forget it, see.
4083
03:52:39,237 --> 03:52:43,480
That's our little bartender,
ain't he, Pearl?
4084
03:52:43,491 --> 03:52:46,779
Yeah, and a cute little Guinea at that.
4085
03:52:46,786 --> 03:52:49,698
And is he stinkol!
4086
03:52:49,706 --> 03:52:52,072
Stinko is right.
4087
03:52:52,083 --> 03:52:54,290
- But he ain't got nothin' on us.
- No!
4088
03:52:54,294 --> 03:52:57,161
Jeez, rocky, did we have
a good time at coney.
4089
03:52:57,172 --> 03:53:00,164
B'jeez, sit down, you dumb whores!
4090
03:53:00,175 --> 03:53:04,168
Welcome home.
Have a drink. Have ten drinks, b'jeez.
4091
03:53:04,179 --> 03:53:06,044
B'jeez, this is all right.
4092
03:53:06,055 --> 03:53:10,094
We'll make this my birthday party
and forget the other.
4093
03:53:10,101 --> 03:53:13,810
But who's missing?
Where's the old wise guy? Where's Larry?
4094
03:53:15,607 --> 03:53:18,724
Oh, over by the window, boss.
4095
03:53:18,735 --> 03:53:23,650
He's got his eyes shut.
The old bastard's asleep.
4096
03:53:23,656 --> 03:53:26,614
Aw, to hell with him. Let's have a drink.
4097
03:53:31,831 --> 03:53:33,787
It's the only way out for him.
4098
03:53:35,627 --> 03:53:37,993
For the peace of all concerned,
as hickey said.
4099
03:53:41,716 --> 03:53:44,173
Goddamn his yellow soul.
4100
03:53:44,177 --> 03:53:47,635
If he doesn't soon,
I'll go up and throw him off.
4101
03:53:47,639 --> 03:53:51,598
Like a dog with its guts ripped out
that you'd put out of his misery.
4102
03:54:14,916 --> 03:54:18,204
What the hell was that?
What the hell was that?
4103
03:54:18,211 --> 03:54:21,874
Something fell off the fire escape.
4104
03:54:21,881 --> 03:54:24,497
A mattress, I'll bet.
4105
03:54:24,509 --> 03:54:28,843
Some of these bums have
been sleepin' on the fire escapes.
4106
03:54:28,846 --> 03:54:31,804
They... they've got to cut it out.
4107
03:54:31,808 --> 03:54:35,300
B'jeez, this...
This ain't no fresh air cure.
4108
03:54:36,813 --> 03:54:39,429
Mattresses cost money.
4109
03:54:39,440 --> 03:54:40,896
Poor devil.
4110
03:54:44,070 --> 03:54:46,482
God rest his soul in peace.
4111
03:55:00,712 --> 03:55:04,580
I'll never be a success
in the grandstand or anywhere else.
4112
03:55:05,758 --> 03:55:07,714
Life is too much for me.
4113
03:55:09,345 --> 03:55:13,429
I'll be a weak fool looking with pity
at the two sides of everything
4114
03:55:13,433 --> 03:55:15,014
till the day I die,
4115
03:55:15,018 --> 03:55:16,974
and may that day come soon.
4116
03:55:19,397 --> 03:55:22,434
I'm the only real convert to death
that hickey made here.
4117
03:55:24,527 --> 03:55:28,486
From the bottom of my coward's heart,
I mean that now.
4118
03:55:30,575 --> 03:55:32,861
Hey there, Larry!
4119
03:55:32,869 --> 03:55:35,736
Come on over and get paralyzed.
4120
03:55:35,747 --> 03:55:37,988
What the hell you doing, sittin' here?
4121
03:55:39,250 --> 03:55:41,457
B'jeez, let's sing. Let's celebrate!
4122
03:55:41,461 --> 03:55:44,373
B'jeez, it's my birthday party.
4123
03:55:44,380 --> 03:55:47,167
B'jeez, I'm orey-eyed!
4124
03:55:47,175 --> 03:55:49,166
I want to sing.
4125
03:55:49,177 --> 03:55:52,590

Cool beneath thy Willow trees!
