All language subtitles for Lady Scarface (1941) - English

Go ahead with your work,
I'll be leaving right away.

You hear that honey?
I'll be round to get you in a taxi baby.

Fifteen flat.

What? Oh, I wouldn't
mind breaking a leg for you.

I still write those checks, can't I?

Oh, no, no, of course
you're not interested in that.

Well, you're worth it baby.

Now, just hold
everything I'll be there in a jiffy.

Bye bye.

Forty, right.

Thirty, left.

Come on, give us the next one.

Twenty five, right.

Sixty, left.

Call the police.

Robbery,
Chicago Security Building, third floor.

Come on, hurry up.

Cover.

Beat it.

You going to this guy here
til he yaps to the police?

When we leave here his yapping days are over.

I'll pick you up at the garage.
Mullen, you stake out at the camp.

- We're heading for New York.
- The same pay off code?

Yeah, plant your message in
the New York Want Ads.

That's right Sergeant,
power circuit turned off.

Janitor's crew trapped in
service elevator between floors.

Yeah, I can describe the guy that slugged me.

Sorry lady.

That's alright sonny, I was supposed to
work here tonight but the door was locked.

Strike out, take the stairs.

To all Cook County police and deputies.

Watch all cars for man
answering description of Matt Willis.

Age 40, height 5 feet 10. Eyes, hazel.

Grey streak in hair.

Usually well dressed but last
seen in janitor's coveralls, that is all.

That watchman, he gave them that dope.

What you do? Give the guy a
picture when you slugged him?

I'd like to give you a picture of yourself.

- Lying in a ditch by the side of the road.
- You wouldn't do that to me?

- I will if you get too hot to carry.
- Look out, it's a railroad crossing.

Not it ain't, it's a police block.
They got that radio message.

- Hold tight.
- They'll flag us off.

That's enough of that.

Ok, inside.

What's all this camera stuff?
What's your name?

- Ann.
- Ann who?

Come on, talk.

Ann Rogers you lout,
keep your hands off me.

Hold it Mullen.

I'll take that.
Alright Tim, put the cuffs on him.

I don't know what I'd
do without you Lieutenant.

Say, how did you find me here anyway?

What do you think the
police department is for?

And maybe some day you learn to
keep your nose out of our business.

But listen Bill, you got to help me.

I'm no longer with The Journal.

Quick Magazine gave me a better offer
and I came up with a great idea for them.

Quick goes to a crime party.

You keep on getting in my way and you going
wind up doing one called Snip goes to jail.

Very funny Lieutenant.

- Alright Mullen come on, where's the dough?
- What dough?

What do you looking for Bill?

This guy ditched the Pierce loot
around here someplace, 10,000 paper-men.

Say Lieutenant, if I show where that
money is, are we on this case together?

- You know where it is?
- Sure.

- Ok, Ok, it's a deal.
- Don't forget, we're on this together.

I could've found in there myself.

- Hey, you sure the dough is in here?
- Pictures don't lie.

Miss Mary Jordan, care of the
Leonard Sheldon Hotel New York City.

- Who is she Mullen?
- A lady friend.

- Be rich to stay at the Leonard Sheldon.
- Yes and she's a pretty ritzy lady too.

Oh yeah, sure.

- Aren't you going open it Bill?
- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm going to open it but not right now.

- Hey, what you think you're doing?
- Taking a picture of Exhibit A.

The above picture taken by
Quick's photographic detective...

Shows Lieutenant Mason
pocketing the Pierce loot.

Now, that's very nice
but I'll just take that.

Hey, you can't do that, all
my pictures still on that roll.

Don't worry, I'll develop you film for you.

What about my camera? That's worth money.

Yeah, well so is my job. Come on Mullen,
the Captain be glad to see you again.

Wait a second, you promised we'd
work together if I gave you that money.

Listen, you're lucky I didn't have you
arrested for complicity. Get going.

1500 detectives in Chicago and
they had to assign this case to you.

We found about 2,000
on Mullen, probably his cut.

So I figure there is about eight
grand still in that envelope.

- Did Mullen spill anything yet?
- No, he didn't.

He acted plenty rattled
when I mentioned Slade.

I'm pretty sure
I'm right because this is the...

same method that the
Slade mob used in New York.

It'd sure be a feather in your cap if you
ever got your hands on Slade Lieutenant.

No, it's a pretty tough proposition.

Slade is never even been
mugged or fingerprinted.

Oh, don't open that sir, I have an idea.

- Yeah?
- Wherever Slade is, he'll be needing money.

- That's right, but who is this Mary Jordan?
- She is probably one of Slade's dolls.

Now, I mail this letter just as
Mullen planned and then...

follow it through to the
Leonard Sheldon hotel in New York.

And there you wait for this
Mary Jordan to turn up?

It's pretty expensive bait,
why not send through a dummy letter?

The Jordan dame might
open it, if she found it was full of...

phonies then she wouldn't lead us to Slade.

You send that letter through just as it is...

and I'll bring Slade back here for you.

Mason, I think you got a hunch on this
case and I will let you follow it through.

I'll have the superintendent
fix it up for you in New York.

Contact Captain Lovell
at the 54th Street station.

He'll give you every cooperation.
Now here is the money.

And I'm holding you responsible for it.

- Good luck.
- Thanks chief.

Alright, where are my cameras?

That was very clever of you Lieut, taking
my other cameras out of the car last night.

Alright Joe, give them back to her.

You can have them back but I'll have
to keep the negatives for evidence.

That's a pretty dirty
trick, what about my job?

I tell what I do...

you get me a picture of Slade, you
can have the whole batch of them.

I bet I get the picture
before you get the man.

Here, give me his weight
in US government stamps.

- You think you own the case?
- What case?

Oh no, no.

Suppose you and the Captain
were just discussing the weather?

- Yes, it is a nice day, isn't it.
- 13 cents straight, Lieutenant.

It's my lucky number Joe.

Say, you don't look so good today.

That business last night
didn't bother you, did it?

- How you sleep?
- I slept alright.

You did? Let me see your tongue.

Peppermint.

Next time I'll make it raspberry.

- Thanks Joe.
- Hold this for me Joe.

Look Bill, it's my first assignment
on this new job, I just got to make good.

There you are, you are now on the
hands of the US mail, til we meet again.

- I promise I won't get in your way.
- No dice, I can't take a chance.

Come a pinch and you'll fold up,
a dame will do it every time.

- You got a heart like an ice cube.
- It's not true.

Here, plant that in that
rag that you work for.

Taxi.

And title it, chivalry is
not dead, is good for the force.

Ok Lieutenant Mason, you're asking for it.

- Yes, they check alright.
- That's good.

- Mason, you know Lieutenant Onslow.
- Glad to see you again Onslow.

I've explained the case to him
And you're to work on it together.

Good, when do we start Lieutenant?

Well, I suggest that we run over
to the Leonard Sheldon Hotel.

I've got a letter coming in over
there that I don't want to miss.

Thanks very much for
your cooperation Captain.

- Goodbye sir.
- Goodbye.

- I hope everything was satisfactory.
- Oh yes, indeed.

- The Leonard Sheldon is such a lovely hotel.
- Thank you, I hope you'd come back again.

- Thank you, goodbye.
- Goodbye.

She sure got away with a lot of silver Mr.
Barlow, I wish you let me give them a frisk.

- You know the customer is always right.
- We are losing plenty of plate.

I know but...

- Lovely dog.
- Oh, thank you ma'am.

Sorry buddy, we
don't allow dogs in the lobby.

Sorry, wire haired.

I don't care what kind hairs
they got, this ain't the place for them.

- See that?
- Ok Constable.

I got an advertisement here, a young lady...

Wants 2 thoroughbred wire hair terriers
delivered to the Leonard Sheldon hotel.

Ok, Ok, but you'll have to
take them around to the kennels.

- The kennels?
- You heard me.

Why, your kennels ain't fit for a dog.

- They're kennels.
- The kennels, come on.

- What's the matter Seidel?
- Dog trouble.

A guy comes in here
with a couple of wire hairs...

- and wants to take them to...
- Alright, alright.

- Detective Seidel, Lieutenant Mason.
- Hiya Mason.

So I said to this
guy, I said listen, you can't...

Mason? Well, Lieutenant.

Glad to know you, I sorry you found
me in such an unofficially position.

- Ah, is perfectly alright.
- We've been waiting for you.

- Oh, you have?
- Sure is an interesting case.

- What case?
- Oh yes, yes. So it is.

- Anything new?
- No, not yet.

Oh Seidel, is a letter come in
here for a Miss Mary Jordan?

Oh, the letter? Just a second.

The Lieutenant is here, would you
please bring out the letter Miss Rogers?

- Miss Rogers?
- Yes, me.

Careful Lieutenant, that's a lot
of money you're letting drop.

- Now wait just a minute.
- So sorry.

The guests are not permitted
to manhandle the employees.

- Employ...
- Yes.

They gave me a job when I
told them what we were after.

- Oh, just where did you get that we stuff?
- You and I, or is it you and me?

Anyway, they said they would be
very happy to cooperate with us.

Miss Rogers told me that
you were old friends.

Oh she did, did she?

Well, if you gentlemen will please excuse me.

Now, listen to me my
old friend, If you blabbed this...

- case all over the lobby this hotel...
- I have not, you listen to me.

Ever since we've been on this
case you've acted like a weasel.

I offered to work
with you, I offered to help.

But no, you couldn't take
a chance. I was a woman.

Well, you're going to take a chance
now whether you like it or not.

I've got a job to do and if you can't
understand that, it's just too darned bad.

Now, give me a cigarette.

Sorry. I smoke a pipe.

Ok Ann, I'll agree on
one condition, I'm the boss.

- Right.
- Right, now let's get to work.

- When did this come in?
- This morning's mail.

I don't suppose there's any sign of a Mary
Jordan or reservations or anything like that?

No, but the hotel only holds unidentified
mail for three days and then returns it.

I'm sure Slade knows that,
I don't think we'll have to wait long.

Ann, I hope you're right, all I want is
a change to follow this money.

Somewhere in this town that
guy Slade is waiting for us.

- That money must be here by now.
- Maybe Mullen forgot the want ad code?

He didn't forget the code.

Well, if he knows what's
good for him he didn't.

- Here you are.
- What you've been doing? Printing it?

Boss, you put me right behind the
8 ball every time you send me out.

This town is plenty hot
for us and you know it.

Shut up.

Here it is, here is the code from Mullen.

Wanted, two
thoroughbred wire haired terriers.

Promise good home, will pay reasonable price.

Can be reached May 2nd or
3rd Leonard Sheldon Hotel. Mary Jordan.

That's what we've been waiting for.

Lefty, this girl of yours.
You sure she's on the level?

Yeah sure, Ruby is handled
plenty of hot stuff in Chicago.

Yes, but does she look like a lady?
The hotel isn't like this dump.

And remember, her name is Mary
Jordan when she calls for that letter.

Why don't you have Lefty bring her
around so we can take a gander at her.

I don't want even her
knowing about this hideout.

Wait, I got a better idea.

You know George Atkins?

George, the kid who looks like he is
fresh from college, sweet and innocent.

That's the one, get him.
Send him to the hotel with your Ruby dame.

- They're married, Mr and Mrs. Got it?
- Yeah.

Yes, but that means we have
to split her cut for the job.

So they split the cut, what do you care?

Or do you?

- Say, what is this Ruby to you Lefty?
- I know her.

You two weren't thinking of
skipping with that dough, were you?

- You always trusted me, ain't you Slade?
- No.

Not when you've been
mixed up with dames, I haven't.

Sem, you better go
along with Lefty, just in case.

Well, that shouldn't bother you,
not if you're on the up and up.

For all you know, that cut
might not come through.

Just try that.

And see that fancy pants Atkins
and your Ruby get that letter.

Alright Slade.

Good day.

Hello, reservations for
Mr and Mrs James Powell please.

Just a moment, I'll see.

Thank you.

You know Lieutenant, I've been wondering.

I'm taking a fingerprinting
course at night-school and I...

thought maybe there be an opening
for a good man on the Chicago force?

- What's the matter with the New York force?
- Oh...

Confidentially Lieutenant, they getting soft.

Crime is fallen off, there's no
chance for a man with real imagination.

Oh, I see.
Well sure, I tell you what I'll do.

When I get back to Chicago...

I speak the commissioner about you.

- Would you do that Lieutenant?
- Oh, be glad to.

Say, that would be great, when you speak
to him would you mind showing him this?

- What is it?
- It's my report card.

- All As.
- Oh?

Here we are, room 1608.

Also, do you've a letter
here for Mary Jordan?

- That's my wife's maiden name.
- Mary Jordan?

Yes, that's right.

Just a moment, I'll see.

- Have we a letter here for Mary Jordan?
- I'll look.

Here you are.

- Here you are Miss Jordan.
- I'll take it.

It's a good think this is here,
been too bad if it wasn't.

- Hey, better see a man about his dogs.
- I told that guy...

I thought I told you to take
them dogs to the kennels.

Yeah, but they don't like it in the kennels
Constable, they much prefer it here.

- Besides, they are advertised.
- Sure they're advertised, so is horses.

But we don't allow horses in the
lobby, now get them out of here.

1608, eh?

Get up by the elevator and ride up with them.

Don't let them out of your sight.

Oh, it's quite alright ma'am,
they won't bit on you sir.

I'm sorry ma'am, that settles it.
You and these mutts go to jail.

- Look Jimmy, aren't they adorable?
- Yeah.

Hiya fella.

Pedigreed ma'am.

I don't suppose they are for sale?

I'm sorry sir, the hotel doesn't
allow dogs in the rooms.

Oh I see, I guess you're out of luck fella.

Well sir, here is my card.
If you should find yourself wanting a dog...

I've a bit of a pet shop
here round the corner.

Hartford is the name.

- Thank you.
- Thank you sir.

As for you Constable,
I think it's contemptible of you to...

deprive the poor little fellows of a home.

Get out.

- Get...
- Very well.

- Au revoir gendarme.
- None of that, none of that, get out.

That guy is been a nuisance all
morning with this ad for them dogs.

- What Ad?
- In the paper here.

Just tried to sell
one of them to that young couple.

Oh, Mary Jordan, eh?
This is all starting to add up.

How did Mullen plant this in the
paper before I picked him up?

- Telephone.
- For me? Telephone who?

- I mean I don't get you Lieutenant.
- Now look Seidel.

This ad is a code, I've been trying to find
it in the Chicago editions but I couldn't.

Because Mullen phoned it in to a New
York newspaper before I grabbed it.

Oh, I get you.

So the little squirt with the
dogs must be one of the mob.

No, no, no. I don't think so. He probably
just answered this ad by mistake.

Was pretty smart of Slade to use such
a nice young couple for his contact.

Come on.

- Is there anything else sir?
- No, that's all, thanks.

Thank you.

Look, we got enough
rice here for our first meal.

- Got a passkey?
- Right here.

This will be alright,
can tell the desk clerk.

- Mrs James Powell?
- Yes.

- Would you sign for this package please.
- Alright.

- Balfour, COD, 483 dollars and 27 cents.
- I'll take care of that.

- Oh, thank you.
- Here you are.

Come on honey, wait til you see what's in it.

Darling, you gave that man
a check for over 400 dollars.

Sure I did and I'll show you what he gave me.

Jimmy, it's beautiful.

- Try it on.
- Oh, gosh.

Come on over here and look at yourself.

Oh, it's lovely,
you shouldn't have done that.

Boy, you look like a million.

- 400 dollars is an awful lot.
- Nothing is too good for my wife.

Yes, but do we have that
much money in the bank?

Not yet, but we will have.

Just as soon as I airmail this check
from uncle Ben back home to the bank.

- What check?
- Open it.

It's a check for a thousand dollars.
A wedding present from uncle Ben.

- Well, why is it addressed to me?
- The bride always gets the presents.

Didn't you know that?
Go ahead honey, open it.

Looks funny, sending cash through the mail.

- Wonder why didn't send a check.
- Jimmy...

This letter is postmarked
Chicago, uncle Ben lives in Albany.

I don't understand, it has your name on it.

Well, there must be another
Mary Jordan in this hotel.

Jimmy, what we going
to do? This money isn't ours.

And you gave that man a check.

- And this hotel, what are we going to do?
- Mary...

Take it easy dear.

Well.

We can at least take the coat back.

Then all we have to
worry about is the hotel bill.

I can take care of that alright.

We could take the coat back.

But I'm still in a fix, that check covered
presents I bought for your mother and sister.

Oh, Jimmy.

Wait a second.

Let's see how much money we've got here.

You mind letting me get
my thumb out of my mouth?

Talking in there but
I can't hear what they say.

Think I'll have to get a Dictagraph planted.

You know something Lieutenant, that young
couple don't look like gangsters to me.

Hello, let me talk to Seidel please.

No, maybe not, but
they still got that 8,000 dollars.

Besides, they tie up with this want ad.

May not mean anything but don't forget
that girl talked to the dog man downstairs.

Hello Seidel?

Say Saidel, get a hold of house electrician
and have a Dictagraph installed in 1608.

Yeah.

Yeah and then get up here
yourself as soon as you can.

Right.

No funnies?

Holy mackerel, 8,000 bucks here.

- We'd better phone downstairs.
- Just a minute, I'm in a jam.

That store has my check and it's no good.

- But Jimmy this money isn't ours.
- I know that but I'll pay it back.

I'll wire uncle Ben and he'll send the
money and everything will be alright.

- Jimmy, that's just crazy.
- Hold it Mary.

If that check bounces I go to jail.

And what do you think will
happen if you take that money?

I won't let you do it Jimmy, you're
just getting yourself into more trouble.

But honey, I'm only borrowing it.

Now, everything is going to be alright Mary.
You stay right here and I'll be right back.

He just left this room.

Ok Seidel, you stay here and
don't let her leave that room alone.

You come downstairs with me
and if he leaves, you follow him.

What about you?

I'm going to stay here and do a little
checking on our friend Miss Jordan.

And I'm left holding the
bag, eh? No thank you.

But you agreed that I was boss,
didn't you? Now come on, do as I say.

Alright.

I guess I'd just
have to pick up Slade myself.

There'll be no picking up until I say so.

Come on.

Good day.

- Have you a letter here for Mary Jordan?
- Just a moment, I'll see.

Is there a letter here for Mary Jordan?

- Another Mary Jordan.
- Yeah.

This one looks like the real McCoy.

We'll wait til they get outside,
we'll pick them up there.

Not a thing.

There was a letter here for Mary
Jordan but it's been called for.

- Are you sure about that?
- I'm positive ma'am.

Oh, never mind, come on.

We're being tagged, get going.

Follow that sedan.

Where's the dough?

I don't know, we just
got told someone had picked it up.

Better be the truth, if it ain't,
Slade will be awful unhappy.

- It is the truth, see.
- Then there's nothing to worry about.

Except shaking those coppers.

I recognise Big Sem in that car.

Must be two Mary Jordans,
too bad this one scared so quick.

- Yeah and this is our only lead to Slade.
- Don't worry, we haven't lost it yet.

- Give it right back to them.
- I don't like this.

Pull your rod, you rat.

Hello Lefty, nice to see you again.

- What you got there?
- A check for a short beer.

Alright, get back
in the car. Doogan, you drive.

Ok.

What can I do for you sir?

I'd like to speak to credit manager please.

- Your name?
- James Powell.

Why did you wish to see Mr Pinchback?

Regarding a check I gave
a store for a COD package.

- Very well, you just be seated over there.
- Thank you.

Pretty tough making these
payments sometimes, isn't it?

- Are you in a spot too?
- Yeah, kind of.

Mr James Powell.

Yes.

Mr Powell, you may go in now.

- Good luck.
- Thanks a lot.

Thank you.

And what can I do for you Mr Powell?

I've come to see you about a check I
gave the store earlier in the afternoon, I...

haven't sufficient funds in
the bank to meet it and...

Not sufficient funds? Why, do you realize?

- Let me explain and bring the cash.
- There can be no explanation. Oh.

Cash? Did you say cash?

Yes, if you give me my check
I'll give you the money for it.

Have a cigar Mr Powell.

Now let me see, how much was your check for?

483 dollars and 27 cents.

I'll telephone the cashier and
have him send up your check.

Fine.

Yes?

There's a call here for Mr Powell.

- Telephone for you Mr Powell.
- For me?

- Yes?
- Hello Jimmy?

The check arrived from uncle Ben.
So there's no need for you to use the money.

That's great. Now look, endorse it and
send it airmail to our bank right away.

Ok, I'll be right home darling.

- Good news I trust?
- You bet, that check is Ok.

You won't need this and I won't need that.

Good day.

- How it go?
- Oh, great, you've no idea.

A letter got me into a jam and I just
received another one just got me out.

Oh, good luck to you.

Did you wish to see me young lady?

Yes, I'd like to borrow your phone if I may.

- You'll find the pay phone downstairs.
- Of course.

I tell you I never heard of this Slade guy.

Come on Lefty, come on, loosen up.

- Where's your boss?
- I don't know what you, you talking about.

Hello? Lieutenant Mason?

- One moment Miss Rogers.
- Well, tell her that I...

No, wait a minute, I'll take it.

- Hello?
- Hello yourself Lieutenant.

Seidel told me you're at the station.
What's the idea ditching me?

Oh, that's great Ann, good work.

What else did you find out?

What do you mean what else did I find out?

What are you handing me?

You knew those kids picked
up that money by mistake.

They haven't got a thing to
do with the gangsters.

Oh, that's fine, fine.

I got to hand it to you honey,
that's just what we wanted to know.

Now you stick with that 8,000 dollars.

Listen, you double crossing, double talker,
What do I care about your old 8,000?

You promised I'd be with you
when you picked up Slade.

Yes and that cinches it. Now you go
back to the hotel and wait for me.

If she calls again, tell her I've left.

Ah, it's kind of bad news for you Lefty.

Except we got the dope on this
girl who calls herself Mary Jordan.

- She's suppose to be Mullen's sweetheart.
- Better go easy on that stuff copper.

- Well, is she?
- No, she ain't.

- And any guy says she...
- Sit down.

Oh, so that's how it is.
Bring the girl in Onslow.

Now listen Lefty, we picked up Mullen
in Chicago. Yes and he spilled the works.

- Say it was you that killed Pierce.
- Mullen is lying.

Maybe so, but that's not going to stop me
from proving that you did that killing.

- Start wiring that seat for you right now.
- Lefty.

Don't you fall for that bluff,
he knows Slade gunned that guy.

Oh Slade, eh? Thanks.
That's all I wanted to hear.

You can write that out but I won't sign it.

Then I just soon send you up Slade.

He stays been dumb
that's just going to happen.

Oh, you got to talk Lefty, you're
racing yourself straight for the chair.

Shut up.

Look, I'll spend the summer
sitting here, but I ain't singing.

- Come on, get out of here.
- Babe, I'm warning you.

Get me out of here.

Sit down Miss Jordan.

If I tell you all I know, could you
kind of ease things off for Lefty?

Well, I can't promise anything, but if
you'll help us we'll try and help you.

Anyway, Lefty and me won't be
taking no rap to help Slade.

He should've showed hours ago.
Wait until I get hold of that Lefty.

I've got an idea Lefty won't wait
for you to get hold of him.

- We'll hear from Sem alright.
- Yeah, if Lefty ain't knocked him off.

- The police saying, grab the four of them.
- I guess it break in the papers if they had.

You go down to Louie's.

- You buy every edition that comes out.
- I ain't going to do it.

You ain't what?

You ain't got any right to
keep sending me off like this.

Giving the cops a chance to groove me.

You get it alright and won't be by the cops.

Get those papers.

And that's the honest truth.
I've never seen this guy Slade.

I was only in on this
job so Lefty and me could use...

the money to pull a couple of
thousand miles between us and him.

You ever see this before?

It's the old personal column grapevine.

What's the dog angle?

Well, Lefty says each one of them is
given a name of a different kind of dog.

- Slade, he's called the Great Dane.
- Oh.

- What's Lefty's code name?
- A Mexican hairless.

Alright Miss Jordan, thank you very much.

I'll do everything that I can to
see that you get the breaks.

May I've a piece of paper Captain?

I'd like to run this in the personal
column of all the late editions.

I think we just got about time to make it.

When Slade read
this, those kids up in 1608...

are going to find
they're holding a load of dynamite.

So you're seeking the Great Dane on a decoy.

Unless I missed my guess Slade will
uncover himself trying to get the money.

And when he shows up at the
hotel I'll be there to meet him.

You keep on grilling Lefty, he's riding
on his nerve and he hasn't got much left.

- Oh darling.
- You see, everything turned out alright.

- You were very lucky Jimmy.
- As lucky as the day I met you.

Believe me from now I am
going to take your advice.

Darling, where's that envelope?

I ought to get this money
back before anything happens to it.

I put it right over here.

I thought I better hide it.

Darling, you better take that
money downstairs right now.

I will, but not just yet.
Sit down, I bring a surprise for you.

- Oh, what's this?
- A bib.

In just a few minutes
that door is going to open.

And in comes a man, with a great big tray.

And on it? Two hamburger sandwiches.

With mustard, onions, relish,
tomatoes, everything you can think of.

- And champagne.
- Hamburgers and champagne?

- Oh Jimmy, you're crazy.
- Crazy over you honey.

Oh, it's you Lieutenant.

Thought I told you to stay upstairs
and keep your eye on the Jordan girl.

Your assistant Miss Rogers, said those
kids have got nothing to do with the mob.

And after I went and used my best
technique to get that Dictagraph in.

- You did get it in though?
- Sure, receiver is under the couch.

Good. The drugstore is sending
over a couple of sandwiches.

- Will you have a boy bring them up.
- Ok.

Hello honey.

What's the idea of giving me all that
fancy double talk and then hanging up?

I thought we agreed to work together.

Oh, I'd say, we never worked
better together in our lives.

The telephone call and you
made it came in the nick of time.

- You mean you got Slade?
- No, but I got four of his gang.

- What they've been doing in there?
- They have, how should I know?

Now you mean to tell me you
haven't listened just a little bit?

Of course not, those
kids in there are innocent.

Sure, sure they're innocent. No
harm in listening to a little music, is it?

Since when you've
been so interested in music?

I've always been interested
in music, particularly, good music.

Wait.

Alright.

- 65 cents please.
- Yeah.

It's your spread alright if you got 65 cents.

Pay the man, will you sweet?

- Charge it to the room.
- Yes ma'am.

I'm half starved.

Smells good.

Tuna.

Right out of my favorite ocean.

A thin slice of bread
between two thick slices.

You know, if we just had some
nice cold lard to go with this.

No, no, don't be bitter,
see what the kiddies are doing.

I could dance forever with you Jimmy.

Hamburgers and champagne, come in.

- Mr Powell?
- Yes, bring it right in.

Boy.

Ah Monsieur, I am very sure
you will enjoy this very much.

Our cuisine it is by far the best.

Here it is, soup Marguerite of fine airs.

In my country it takes five
days to make this soup.

It is cause for a celebration.

First they roast the whole bull stuffed
with mushroom in an enormous black pot.

In the same pot they
throw hundreds of rare herbs.

And then a superb wine,
a prize vintage is added.

It is so thick, so delicious, so wonderful.

But I don't like it.

Madame, s'il vous plait. Monsieur please.

Here you are Madame.

- Your coat please?
- No, thank you.

I think I'll wear it.

And now.

Lobster Thermidor, very rich.

Very rich.

It sure makes my tuna
taste real good, you cheapskate.

You can have your lobster.
What good is it on a sandwich?

One more bite of this and I'm going
to start jumping up a waterfall.

You are thinking of salmon, not tuna.

The way this tastes, I'm thinking of tuna.

In fact at the moment,
I can't think of anything else.

Well, don't forget it was
your idea to get on this case.

Yeah, but I'd like to know why we sit
here eating instead of out after Slade.

- Got to keep up our strength, don't we?
- Paul Roger in a fine year.

Now, there's a guy that
knows how to treat a lady.

- Yeah, the guy that's got eight grand.
- Say, what about that eight thousand?

Oh I'm keeping it safe enough.

Acting awful casual about that Lieutenant.

I don't trust you, I think you've
got something up your sleeve.

Impossible.

Thank you very much,
thought was funny myself.

Marriage is a wonderful thing,
I myself have been married six times.

And still it is not
enough, the more the merrier.

- Anything else Monsieur?
- That's all, thanks.

Perhaps a little music from
the main dining room?

- Yes please.
- Merci.

- A couple of honeymooners, eh?
- What's the matter with that?

Well, according to the voice of
experience in the next room, nothing.

- Personally, I don't know.
- Please wait the right girl comes along.

- Yeah?
- I've never been so happy Jimmy.

- You like being married?
- Love it.

Believe me, you're the one girl in
the world as far as I am concerned.

Is that guy kidding or is
a girl go for a line like that?

Almost invariably.

I don't understand it. Have some more coffee.

- Ah, you're spilling all over me.
- Gee Ann, I'm sorry, that was clumsy of me.

- It cost me less to take you to dinner.
- I'll make it up to you.

Say, when we get back to Chicago
I'll introduce you to a steak...

I know that'll make
this guy lobster thermidor and...

champagne taste worse than those sandwiches.

- Hold me closer Jimmy.
- Oh, let's don't be crude.

We can't go on listening
to those kids, it's personal.

Wait a minute, turn it out.
I know it's personal but...

But what?

Well, I thought maybe we dance?

- You thought we might what?
- I thought we might dance.

Well, it's been a long time since I
tried tripping a light fantastic.

A long time since you tried tripping, period.

I'm going to work this dinner off somehow.

My, you're smooth,
now I know why they call you flatfoot.

Listen, every game has its hazards.

Wait.

Just think of all the months we
were in love and didn't know it.

Thanks, fella.

It's hard to believe that other
people feel the same way we do.

Seems to belong only to us.

Other people don't have the
real thing, it's only a cheap imitation.

I'm sure it's a very cheap imitation.

I don't suppose they could mean us, do you?

I don't know.

The cheap imitation is the part I don't like.

Speak for yourself and you aren't
always going to have everything around.

- Ann, I...
- Kiss me darling.

Ann, I guess you know I love you.

Thanks for letting me in on a secret.

Hey, remind me to thank
that guy, he did me a big favor.

Can do it personally
when we pick up the money.

Oh, the money, yes. Well...

Ann, about those youngsters next door,
there's something I have to tell you.

- Oh, hello.
- How you doing Guvnor?

I see from the
paper you're interested in buying a dog.

I don't believe so. Dear, you
remember advertising for a Great Dane?

Excuse me, but I
think he's got the wrong room.

The lady that wants to
buy the dog is over here.

- Sorry to bothered you brother.
- That's alright.

Hey, how much will you take
never let me see you again?

Never see me again?

- Would five bucks hurt you?
- That's beside the point, here.

Thank you Guvnor, you won't regret it.

- Good night.
- Wait a minute.

Ok, four bucks then.

No, no, no, you can keep the money, I gave
you the 5 dollars to get rid of the dog, eh?

- Take him and beat it.
- Ok, good night Guvnor. Come on Hamlet.

I might've known, putting an ad in the paper
telling Slade where he can find his money.

- Now look Ann...
- I had a hunch you were pulling a fast one.

I just never dreamed you'd go so far
to use two innocent kids as bait.

No, no, Ann. I know just how
you feel but I feel the same way.

It's almost as if we knew the kids in there.

That was a way bring the killer out
in the open, I intended to tell you.

Sure, if you had the nerve.

Now listen, there comes a time when
snapshots stop and work begins.

This kind of a job is no picnic
and you knew it when you started.

As long as everything is sweetness
and light you think it's just great.

Comes a pinch and you fold up, should've
known any dame will do every time.

Alright, but I'm not going
to let you get away with that.

Going next door and tell the
kids just what they're up against.

You're not going to go anyplace,
you going to stay right here.

Don't forget I'm still boss on this case.

Hello, Mason speaking. Yes.

Onslow? Yes.

You wait a minute. Let me write
that address down. Yes. What is it?

Yeah, I got it.
Alright, yes. You meet me. Right away.

What happened?

Come on, let me in on it.

Well, you can stop
worrying about your love birds.

Onslow just cracked Lefty and I'm going
to pick Slade up on his home grounds.

Here we go again.

Let me have Seidel.

So as you're so interested
in those kids, I'm going to fix...

so you can stay here and keep an eye on them.

Hello? Seidel?

Want you come up here and see
that Miss Rogers doesn't leave the room.

That's right, for no reason whatsoever.

- Yeah and step on it.
- But you agreed.

I know I did, but I'm no longer agreeing
because from now on you're off the case.

You're a fine sport, I tell you
you're wrong and you can't take it.

I can't take it and you can't go.

Let me out of here.

To interested parties...

Thoroughbred Great Dane
wanted at Leonard Sheldon hotel.

Ask room 1608, Mary Jordan.

- That thing is in every bulldog edition.
- Big Sem put it in.

He's telling me where I can find
certain parties that crossed me up.

- Lefty and his girlfriend.
- Yeah?

I suppose this too much trouble
for Sem to come here and tell you.

- Maybe the bulls are tagging him too close.
- Smells like a stake-out to me.

Well...

I've played longer shots
than this before to get dough.

And without the pleasure of
running down a couple of prize rats.

- How many?
- Give me three.

Four.

- What you got?
- Deuces.

- How many?
- Two.

They're good, you sure are lucky Miss Rogers.

- Yeah, at cards, anyway.
- I hope Lieutenant Mason is got your luck.

- That Slade pulls a mean trigger.
- Shut up, will you?

Hello?

Would you please get me Captain
Lovell at the 54th Street police station.

Hello?

Oh hello Miss Rogers.

Yes.

No, Mason left here ten minutes
ago with a special detail.

Anything I can do for you?

Yes, would you please let me know how
he makes out just as soon as possible.

Thanks. Yes, I'll wait
here until I hear from you.

That's the place over there.

Frank, you stay here and watch those windows.

- Right.
- I'll get around the rear.

You take the basement.

Shut that door, get out.

Open up Slade or we'll blow you out of there.

Slade ain't here.

This man isn't Slade, he's Matt Willis.

- Afraid Slade skipped Lieutenant.
- Come on, come on, break it up.

Come on, break it up.

Alright, come on Matt,
how long since you've seen Slade?

- Come on, where's Slade?
- How should I know where she is?

She?

No, you, you better
answer it and see if Bill is alright.

If that flatfoot knew how much
I really cared about him...

be more unbearable than ever.

- Yeah?
- Is it Bill?

Yeah, he's ok.

Take those Powell kids into
my room and keep them there.

Slade skipped and is on the loose, yeah.

Yeah, I'm on my way over right now,
be there in time to handle things.

Oh, and Art.
Art, you could do me a big favor.

Something is happened that could
make me look like an awful dope.

Run through Ann's things
without her getting wise...

and see if you can find a picture of me
with my arms around an old scrub woman.

Yeah, look in her purse if you
get a chance and tear up that picture.

Ok Lieutenant.

He's alright, what was all that
one sided conversation about?

Oh, we was just doping
out our technique, that's all.

Slade is on the loose.

Bill wants those Powell kids
brought in here and kept safe.

- What do you up to?
- Oh?

I thought you wouldn't mind if I
took a cigarette. Hey, that gun is loaded.

That case, haven't
you got to take that cigarette...

and put the rest
of that stuff back in my bag.

Give me that bag.

I'm going next door and get those Powell
kids and I'll be right back in a moment.

But you are not supposed to leave this room.

The way you're dressed, I don't think the
hotel would approve of you following me.

I'll get it.

Who is it?

- Police department, open up.
- Police?

That's right.

You the girl was at Balfours this afternoon.

I followed you. Alright, where's that money?

Well, you see we were
going to return in the morning.

There was some little mistake,
it had my wife's name on it.

The money is all here,
you'll everything is alright.

Alright, skip it. Come on, get in this room.

Come on.

Art, see that they don't leave
or try to use the phone.

Who is it?

- Is your extra blankets ma'am.
- Oh yes, thank you.

Please hurry, will you?
I'm expecting company.

Stay right where you are.

- You Mary Jordan?
- Yes. I, no.

- Where's your boyfriend Lefty Landers?
- Lefty?

- Hurry up, talk.
- He's...

- I don't know.
- You know alright.

Come on, we'll find him.

I tell you I don't know
anything about your Lefty...

- What's his name.
- Skip it. Shell out that dough and hurry.

How do I know if I give you that
money you won't take it and kill me?

How do you know I won't kill you anyway?

- What? Where's Ann?
- Well, she...

I thought I told you
not to let her out the room.

Oh, I know, but I...

Alright Slade. I'll get you the money.

Let me have your passkeys.

- You want to count it?
- I ain't got time for counting.

Drop it, both of you.

You and your stake out.

You dumb flatfoot.

You stepped in over
your head this time copper.

So Lefty squealed, eh?
And led you right to the Great Dane.

Well, it won't do you any good.

Keep your hand off that gun.

You through copper,
they should've put a man on this job.

Onslow.

- You alright?
- Oh sure, I feel fine.

Ann.

What a woman.

Whatever happened to that
picture of you hugging Slade?

Oh look Ann, look at this one of
our sweet, young innocent friends.

We sure handed them a thrill
for a wedding present, didn't we?

Yeah, but whatever happened to
that picture of you hugging Slade?

You mean the one that you...

Oh, I don't know, the negative got
burned up or something like that.

But I told them if they
didn't print this one of you the...

the department
wouldn't let them release the story.

Why, of all the mean, contemptible tricks.

Oh no, wait a minute Ann, don't be silly
We're just trying to give you a build up.

Some build up?

OH, listen Ann...

Well I, I don't seem to have
Dictagraph with me but...

I guess you know how I feel, you marry me?

- Some cupid.
- Oh yeah?
