Original subtitles

In all the world

there'll never be

a love as wonderful for me

I've had my share of dreams come true

and most of all, there's you

I walk along the streets of time

remember when your love was mine

the million things we'd say and do

and most of all, there's you

my heart is such a lonely place

in every crowd, I see your face

I think of all the joys we knew

and most of all there's you

though I may travel near and far

my love is always where you are

the world is wide, but loves are few

and most of all

there's you

Poor Luigi.

Good-bye, my friend.

I see you again someday.

There goes the old days, buried with Luigi.

All those times...

All those times they tried to kill us,

but they don't.

We live.

There was nobody in Chicago bigger than Luigi and me.

Those were the good days.

We were young, strong...

Like iron.

Luigi used to tell me,

"take a knife and cut me.

Cut me, cesare!"

I dull the blade, and I tell him,

"take my gun and shoot me!

Shoot me, Luigi!"

"The bullets fall off me like water."

We were made of iron.

Somebody don't buy our stuff,

we use the iron fist.

They buy.

Now the iron rusts, and Luigi's dead.

Poor Luigi.

This way, Mr. Celli.

We have a car waiting for you.

Oh. Thank you.

Go.

Don't think because I cry for my friend

I'm still not Don cesare celli.

No, eccellenza.

It is a man's duty

to cry for his dead friend.

You understand?

Si, professor.

Excuse me. Do I know you?

I don't think I have had the honor.

Do I know you, either?

I'm afraid not, Mr. Celli.

I don't know you, too?

Ah, well.

I don't get around much no more.

Since they send me back

to the old country 15 years ago,

I take it easy.

It was a bum rap.

Say, how long you know Luigi?

We didn't know him, Mr. Celli.

I like you.

You show respect for us old retired ones.

It's nice that you take me home.

Hold it. The driver makes a mistake.

I live that way.

We know, Mr. Celli.

We're making a small detour first.

Wait. What's going on here?

What is this?

A stickup, Mr. Celli.

Just a nice, old-fashioned stickup.

Keep your eye on him. I'll be right back.

Juliana, baby, what are you doing?

You want to get arrested?

I'm dancing.

It's a cool, crazy night.

I'm on a beach in Montevideo--

just you and me

and a million funny-looking stars

shining down.

Man, I've really got to get you there, but soon.

Promise?

Promise.

Hey, aren't you going to ask me what happened?

Well, tell, tell.

We did it. We got him.

Oh, Harry, that's wild!

Hurry. Come on and get dressed.

Come meet him. He is too much.

Ain't you got no manners?

Who?

My chick, that's who.

Buon giorno, Mr. Celli.

Buon giorno.

So, you come to watch

the great celli get stuck up.

Well, I tell you something,

pretty little girl.

You will all be disappointed.

O.k., o.K.

Benjy, get in. Davey, let's go.

All right, celli. Out.

Here, in the open?

Inside the house. Tozzi, benjy.

In the old days, when we stuck up somebody,

we don't care about so much privacy.

Come on, come on.

What will we do about the car, Harry?

Hide it in the back.

I got to get it to the garage by 5:00.

Everything's going like a clock.

The fella will be calling!

Signor celli, your friends,

they will be staying for lunch?

Tell her to forget it

and take the day off.

Grazie, signora Rosa.

Perhaps some other time.

I have some important business

to transact with these people.

Take the afternoon off.

Grazie.

It's beautiful.

All right, celli, to business.

Let's have money, and lots of it.

Can't you get money no other way?

You got to steal?

Harry needs money badly, Mr. Celli.

He's written a few checks here and there

which may soon cause certain people

to become very hostile.

And besides, he's got very big appetites.

Capito?

I just love pretty things, Mr. Celli.

We all have money problems, commendatore.

Mine are women and alimony,

both most unpleasant.

How much you need?

50 grand will suffice.

Ha!

You're all crazy. Crazy!

That's enough, celli.

You better come up with it,

or you'll be seeing your friend Luigi

before your time.

I told you before,

I have no money!

What do you call this? Skid row?

Ha ha ha!

You're a riot, Harry.

Thanks, baby.

This no belong to me.

It belongs to a friend.

Maybe he's telling the truth, Harry.

Celli, I'm warning you,

don't hand me

any more hearts and flowers.

Maybe we could just take a few nice things.

Yes, indeed.

If I'm not mistaken, I see genuine ming Jade.

No. I want cash.

Hard cash.

I'll tell you for the 10th time,

I have no money.

Why you no believe me?

How do you live, Mr. Celli?

I live on a small allowance

my uncle Carlo sends me from the U.S.

Mamma Mia.

Hello?

What?

Uncle Carlo!

I want you to listen to this close.

I'm only going to say it once.

I say, I'll say it once.

Come?

Get a pencil and write it down.

I'm with your nephew.

Si, si!

He wants you to send him some money--

$50,000.

He needs it within 48 hours.

Hey, come? Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

That's wild!

You're a very bad man, Mr. Celli.

Thank you.

What are you trying to pull?

Take your hands off me!

What's the matter, Harry?

Remember, no violence.

You're a lousy phony.

What phony? You talked to uncle Carlo?

Yeah, I talked to uncle Carlo.

He didn't hear a word.

Sounded like he was on pot!

Ah. Chianti.

All the time, he drinks chianti.

Ha ha ha!

I think you call at the wrong time.

Try again later.

He told you I have no money?

He hung up on that one.

I telephone.

Mamma! Uncle celli!

Celli? Ooh!

Signor celli! Come sta?

Bene, bene. Tutti bene.

Si, si, si.

Hi, uncle cesare!

Did you pull any good jobs lately?

Ha ha ha!

Si, si.

Rossano! Rossano! Go find uncle Carlo.

Your uncle wants speak to him on the phone.

Hurry! Hurry!

Hey! Hey, rossano! Hurry up!

It's costing a lot of money!

They want you on the phone, uncle Carlo.

What are you saying?

I don't believe it. Impossible.

Well?

Uncle Carlo... He passed out.

In his bed on his wedding night,

he passed out.

Uncle Carlo, brutto imbroglione!

I'll get you for this!

Celli, I've had enough of your lying.

Now, come on. Let's get down to business.

Wait. I got another idea.

You take this.

It's worth a fortune-- more than 50,000.

I recommend you a good fence.

Cesare!

Uh...they should dust this more often!

Ah. You are leaving now. Va bene.

Be careful when you cross the street.

I no go. You go.

And make sure

you bring everything this time--

bread, salami, cheese, vino,

scampi, and tomatoes.

Capito. I go in a few minutes.

Well, that blows South America.

What are we going to do now, Harry?

I don't know.

I'm thinking about murder.

Listen, you punk kid.

We are a wealthy class. I have many friends.

So you've got many friends.

What does that mean?

I don't want it to get around

that celli's got no money.

You understand?

Yeah, I understand.

When celli ask for something, he gets it.

I give you a few people to see.

You tell them Don cesare needs a favor

for 30 days.

You're flapping your gums, celli.

Give up.

No flap no gums.

You take this.

Well, go on, Harry. It's our last chance.

Celli wants $50,000.

He needs it for around 30 days.

Make it in small denominations.

10s and 20s would be fine.

I'll give it to you straight, celli--

one in jail, six not home,

and the rest say go to hell.

Impossible.

They wouldn't let me down.

How many times I helped them?

Times were bad for them?

No. They just don't think

you're worth lending any money to, period.

Not rat-face Tony,

the stock market man?

Oh, that one. Tell him, benjy.

He said your credit was unbelievably bad--

totally unreliable.

Old matutzi from Philadelphia?

He laughed.

He laughed at me?

That imbecile laughed at Don cesare celli?

Face it, celli.

You're bad news, and we were idiots

for sticking you up in the first place.

I thought you were somebody.

You know what you are?

You're the biggest nobody in the world.

Kill me.

Please kill me.

Step on me like I was a fly.

Come on. Let's split.

They never told me.

They let me go on dreaming,

building dreams

while my life slipped away.

They let me think

I was still Don cesare

all the time,

like in the old days.

Don cesare.

Ciao, Mr. Celli.

No!

No what?

No, I don't let you go.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about a man's pride,

his good name.

I can't go back now

and be laughingstock,

cesare celli who nobody would borrow money to.

Once, I could have a million dollars

with one phone call.

A million! And no questions asked.

You know why?

Why?

Because I helped everybody

make money!

I invented new rackets.

I pulled the big jobs.

Well, you don't anymore, celli.

You're a has-been.

You haven't done anything for 15 years,

and if you don't watch out,

they'll be passing the hat for you any minute.

Nobody going to pass no hat

for Don cesare celli.

I show them.

I show them they cannot spit in my face.

O.k., o.K.

What you got in mind, eccellenza?

Ha! If I wanted,

I could make you all rich.

Ha ha! 50,000...

Ha ha!

I spit...

On your 50,000.

How would you like to take...

$5 million?

Whoo!

You're flipping. You're talking words.

No words. Interested?

I wouldn't know

until I heard the details.

Are you interested?

I am, sign-- signor celli.

Me, too, eccellenza.

Count me in.

If Mr. Celli has an idea,

you should listen, Harry.

All right.

I'll listen.

What do we have to do?

Just shut up.

Do what I tell you,

and everything's going to be fine,

but I got to be the boss.

Wait a minute.

I am the boss, or no deal.

What do you think, Harry?

Maybe he's got the answer.

What do we got to lose?

For that money, who cares who's the boss?

Please, Harry.

All right. You're the boss.

Bene. it begins to feel like the old days.

Ha ha!

Now, since you are going to be my mob,

I want to know about you.

You, with the funny talk,

where you come from?

London. I'm a cockney.

Come?

A cockney. A limey.

I got caught up with this Italian bird.

I've been married to her for about 15 years.

We've got 11 kids.

That's nice.

Which mob have you been with?

Mob? Oh, I ain't been with no mobs.

This is my first job. I'm a mechanic, really.

O.k. You got to start someplace.

You. Which jobs you pulled?

Not pulled. Played.

I'm a classical musician.

I, uh...Blow violin when I'm employed,

which isn't very often, unfortunately.

All right. You.

I am a chef.

I must make some money

so I can quit being a chef.

I eat all the time I'm in the kitchen.

I am overweight.

Harry chose them for your stickup, Mr. Celli,

because they've never been in any trouble.

No police records. Just nice, good friends.

And you, Mr. Ex-boss,

what do you do for a living?

Nothing.

Oh! At least I have one professional.

O.k. I take you all in with me.

Uh, Mr. Celli,

what about this $5 million?

Not yet. First, we got to agree on the cut.

I get 50%.

You boys split the other 50.

Forget it, baby.

I'll find new men.

Hey, wait a minute, Harry.

Make a deal.

Harry!

60-40.

Well...

I do it for glory, not for money.

O.k. 60-40.

Great, Harry.

Attaboy!

Mr. Celli.

Now that everything is settled,

would you explain what you have in mind?

Enough for now. I'm tired.

It's been a difficult day.

Tomorrow, you will know.

It is impossible to stay here.

I pack some clothes.

We go to your pensione.

Get me a room with a nice bath,

and don't disturb me before 11:00...

After breakfast.

Benjy, tozzi.

Harry?

Yeah, doll?

Harry, please don't feel badly.

Feel badly? About what?

About giving in to Mr. Celli.

As long as he gets the money for you...

Ha ha ha!

I know you're only laughing

to cover up the way you feel.

You know why I dig you, baby?

Because you're with me all the way,

every lovin' wild inch of you.

Sure, I let him think

he got away with it.

Why not?

By accident, that tired old mafia

could lead us to something.

If he does, it will be Harry boy

who walks off with it.

You know who's going to help?

Me?

You, baby.

I love you so much, Harry.

Yeah.

I know.

Ah, professor Sam.

Oh, cesare!

Ah, paisan, my good friend.

Oh, good to see you. You look wonderful.

And what a place you have here.

Ah, just a ruin.

Hey, you guys, come here!

Here's the professor.

Come on. Get his stuff out of the car.

Please, please... Please, professor.

You want something to eat?

Some coffee or some tea?

I got a whole picnic lunch.

Thank you. I've already eaten.

Juliana, turn that off.

I want you to meet one of the boys.

Harry, this is my friend--

the one I told you about.

You get up when I meet you somebody!

You got no manners!

Like celli says, professor,

I got no manners

when he meets me somebody.

Who's the dish?

Juliana, his chick.

Oh.

How do you do?

Ciao, professor.

Now I want you to meet the other guys.

Tozzi, the fat one.

Beniamino, uh...even bigger.

And little Davey.

How do you do?

Hi, Davey.

They ain't much,

but it's all I got to work with.

Take the stuff to the amphitheater.

You boys, clean up the place.

Sam.

Oh, uh, tozzi.

I'll take that.

Juliana, Juliana, quiet.

Sit down here. Quiet.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

My friend the professor Samuels

is the greatest professor in the world.

Professor, tell them a little something

about yourself.

Go on.

Well...

I don't like to boast, see?

I've been in this business

a long time--

more than 46 years.

I planned some of the biggest capers

you ever read about.

Drove the g-men crazy.

You've heard of Capone? Dillinger?

Machine-gun Kelly? Pretty boy Floyd?

Oh, I could name a dozen others,

all my clients.

You name them, I planned them.

More than $22 million.

That's when a dollar was a dollar.

They even made movies about them.

And the most important thing,

he never got caught.

The professor and I,

we sat together many times,

dreaming of jobs.

Some we already did.

Some we was going to do.

Now, in my need--

when Don cesare needs to get back respect--

I call him in Philadelphia,

and he is here,

this time, with the plan

for the biggest bundle of them all.

Bravo! Bravo!

Sss!

Bravo.

Well, now, gentlemen, to business.

Sam, what's all this?

You never work like this before.

We've gone modern. New methods.

Madison Avenue.

Well, now, gentlemen, what are we all after?

Money.

Well, there are many ways to make money.

Working...

Borrowing...

Or, uh...

Thinking.

Of course, some of us believe in stealing,

but if we steal without thinking,

all we end up with...

Is time.

But, uh...Thinking-- right thinking--and stealing

will bring us...

Riches.

Now, this, gentlemen,

represents...

Riches.

Roughly $95 an ounce.

I hold here in my hand

380 dollars' worth.

Now please examine it.

The chemical symbol is pt, for platinum.

Now, this precious metal

comes in ingots this size--

4 inches by 1/3 inch by 7 1/2 inches.

It weighs 100 ounces Troy.

Of course, this ingot is made of lead.

I'm merely using it as an illustration of size.

If it were really platinum,

it would be worth...

$9,500.

But how do we get it?

It is shipped from Colombia, South America,

to Gibraltar,

and from there to taranto,

where it is put on a special railway car

and moved by train

to a secret location.

Where's the location?

Doesn't matter. It will never get there.

We'll stop the train and remove the platinum.

Ha ha ha!

Stop the train, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Do we ride alongside on a horse,

jump the engineer, and shove a gun at him?

Don't interrupt!

Shut it up.

It can be done.

What's more, it will be done.

We'll need special equipment, yes,

but timing, planning,

and above all, daring...

And it's ours.

Now, may I continue?

Sure. Go ahead!

There are materials to be purchased.

They'll have to be assembled.

All this will require some money.

That blows it.

How much money, Sam?

$3,000,

or about 2 million lire.

Done.

Where do we fence it?

Morocco.

Morocco?

Who in Morocco?

I'll take care of that,

and I'll inform Don cesare.

How do we know your man

won't double-cross us?

You'll be there to watch him.

How do we get there?

You'll find out in good time.

The professor is 100%.

He takes care of everything.

That's why we pay him

the kind of money he asks.

Professor,

how many ingots of platinum

do we need to get 5 million?

482.

482 bars,

100 ounces a bar,

that's, uh... Nearly 3,000 pounds.

That's about 2 tons.

Who's going to be able

to lift up 2 tons of that stuff?

The deal is off.

These bums couldn't lift

2 pounds of horsefeathers.

They'll do it.

I'll make them do it.

You hear me?

I'll make you do it!

Hupt-wee!

Hupt-wee! Hupt-wee! Hupt-wee! Hupt-wee!

Hupt-wee! Hupt-wee!

I'm going to die if I don't stop.

Shut up and run!

Hupt-wee!

You'll thank me for this.

Who do you think you are--

Mussolini?

He had the wrong mob,

but he made the trains run on time.

Move your legs higher!

Hupt-wee!

Faster!

Faster!

Hupt-wee! Hupt-wee!

Hupt-wee! Hup!

On your feet!

I've had it, baby.

You know what this

will do to my appetite?

I'm the boss. I say run!

Celli, you're having yourself

a real fine time playing boss,

but I say no more.

Come on. Come on!

Where are you going?

To see my wife.

You know how mad she gets if I don't see her.

No more lovemaking--

not until the job is finished.

She's going to be mad at me.

I say you run!

Sure. I'll run...

For 5 million bucks.

But you know what?

We need 3 grand to get that 5 million.

So far, I don't see any 3 grand.

The professor's been talking in millions.

Why don't we get the money from him?

The high cost of living

has left me temporarily short.

Really, i--i had to borrow money to get here.

I said I would get it.

And I say I want to see it

before I do any more running.

Punks!

Small-timers.

Chiselers.

All right!

I get the money. Tonight!

Is that you, cesarino?

Si, si, Cara.

Where have you been these past days?

I come back from Africa

and not find you.

I been worried sick.

Not even a call from the telephone.

You don't love your little pussycat no more?

Yes, yes, Mia Cara.

I have been tied up.

Very important business out of town.

Forgive me, darling.

Oh, I forgive you,

but come closer to me quickly.

UN momento.

Cesare, please come back.

What are you doing there?

Uh, nothing.

A fly.

I hate flies.

You're acting like

a nervous bridegroom.

Oh, come to bed!

I will give you a little surprise.

Ha ha ha!

Yes, yes.

It has been so long.

Si, si. In a moment.

Cesare, I don't like

the way you're behaving.

So!

I discover your true nature.

You are a thief!

Please, Cara.

No Cara me.

You have another woman

you take my jewelry to.

I kill you first!

I don't have no other woman.

I need the money.

You take my jewels to another woman.

You cheat! You adulterer!

You Indian giver!

Come back! Come back, cesare.

I get my gun!

I going to shoot you.

I going to kill you.

Kill you!

I never forgive you for this!

You hear me? Never! Never!

You're going to be a wanted man.

I'm going to send you to prison--

to prison!

Hey. Psst!

Psst! Psst, psst!

I came as soon as you called, Don cesare.

You are a very good boy.

I want you to look at these.

Ah, yes.

Sorry. I couldn't take them

even if you made me a present.

I paid a lot of money for those.

All I want is 3 grand.

You might as well ask 3 million.

I can't handle them.

They're too hot.

Uh, maybe in a couple of years,

if we recut them.

A couple of years?

Your Teresa's got every cop in Naples

looking for them.

I'd help if I could.

I don't forget you started me in the business.

I know, Franco.

You are a good boy.

Be careful going home.

Celli's girl has the cops

looking for him?

Yes. You all better be careful.

She have a reward out for him?

Uh, yes, I think so.

A small one.

You wouldn't be thinking

about collecting it, would you?

I wouldn't do that to my friend.

He was the hand that fed me.

And these are the hands

that will tear you apart

if you open your mouth.

Understand?

Yes, but I can't breathe.

Let him go.

That's a good boy.

I want to make sure he stays that way.

I said, let him go!

I apologize to you, Franco.

Some people have no regard

for other people.

That's all right, Mr. Celli.

I understand.

You got no brains. You got no sense.

All you got is a big greed.

You don't do that anymore!

Never touch any of my people anymore!

What's the matter, celli?

You getting soft in your old age?

You said you were tough.

Remember the iron fist?

I also remember the iron horse,

and both went out with the airplane.

I don't know about you, Harry.

I think maybe

we're not going to get along.

You think you can get along without us?

Try it.

You're not what you used to be.

Then maybe...

I don't do the job at all.

I would rather drop the job

than work with a pig.

I don't trust you, Harry.

You don't trust me?

I was only looking out for our interest.

Everybody knows that.

Juliana knows that.

Don't you, baby?

Oh, sure.

Yes, yes.

Hey, baby,

would that look pretty on you?

Try it on.

Oh...

It doesn't really belong to me.

Celli will let you try it.

Won't you?

Could I?

Of course.

Oh...

Help me hook it up, Harry.

I'm all thumbs when it comes to that.

Maybe celli could do it.

Hmm?

Would you, Mr. Celli?

You are like a small child

with a bright, new toy.

I would be happy to make it snap.

In fact, you keep it.

Huh?

Would you like that?

Would I like it?

Oh, thank you!

Thank you.

Easy. Very easy.

They do a first-class business,

and they have plenty of cash.

I've been casing it.

What about the police?

Don't they crawl around there at night?

They don't do things

like that over here.

No problem.

They make the best pasta e fagioli in town.

You can forget about that.

You're on a diet.

A restaurant full of people.

It would be easier to knock off

some quiet joint with fewer people around to see.

That's the beauty of it.

Who would think of knocking off

a restaurant at its busy hour?

Nobody.

That means nobody will be on guard.

One man...Inside.

Quickly he takes the money...

Outside before anybody knows.

Simple.

A genius of an idea.

Oh, well, uh...

All right.

I'll drive.

Fine.

Benami, you will handle the gun.

Me?

I'm a better watcher.

Oh, I'll watch.

Me, too.

Good. Harry drives.

Davey and tozzi watch,

and beniamino gets the money.

Let's go make plans.

I'd like to do this for all of us, but...

Well...I've never handled a gun before.

I mean, I could hurt somebody if I got excited.

It will be all right, benami.

Suppose I shot somebody.

Suppose I even shot myself.

Davey would be better, or Harry, or tozzi.

Benami, you will be the gun!

O.k., Mr. Celli.

I am the gun.

O.k., we'll rehearse now.

Benami, you start.

All right, mister.

All the cash, no coins.

Put it in a paper bag,

hurry it,

and don't make any unnecessary noises.

Don't make such a face.

You want people to know

what you are doing?

I can't help it.

Every time I pick this up,

my face turns tough.

Beniami. Beniami.

You are customers at the table.

Eat. Eat.

Beniami, first position.

Now, everybody ready?

We try again.

Beniami--with style,

with grace.

Uh-huh.

Manager!

Uh, signore, you got a light? Huh?

Forgot the matches.

Make believe.

Make believe!

Your light, signor.

Don't move. I got a gun.

If you make a noise, I'll...I'll...

I'll...

Kill you. Kill you!

Do I have to say that?

It makes me nervous.

Couldn't I just say, "I'll shoot you"?

O.k. Say "shoot."

You make a noise, I'll...

I'll shoot you.

Thank you very much.

Go on.

Come with me to your office.

Excuse me.

Ow!

Now what?

I pinched my skin!

Oh, mamma Mia!

It's getting late.

I'd better get things organized.

Go.

We have time for one more practice.

Come.

Where are you this time, baby?

Ahh...

In Hawaii.

The wind is blowing

soft and quiet through the trees.

And you know what, Harry?

What?

Hey!

Aah!

Don't you have to get ready

for the job?

There's plenty of time, baby.

Ha ha ha!

Oh, Harry, you're wild.

That's what I love about you.

We're forgetting what Mr. Celli said.

No one breaks training.

You know, Mr. Celli's a very smart man.

Too bad you didn't know him

before you met him.

Sure, baby.

Did he say anything

about the Moroccan fence?

He just said he'd take care of it.

I want to take care of it...

Without celli.

Harry, that's not really

a very nice thing to do.

Don't worry about what's nice.

Just get the name of that fence.

I'll try.

Davey, tozzi...

Go!

Davey's around the corner.

You go.

You've got seven minutes

before I pull up in front.

Don't come out before then.

I never did a thing like this in my life!

You helped me stick up celli.

There were four of us then.

Now there's only one of me.

It'll be over in seven minutes.

Stop worrying.

Change places with me.

Let me drive.

Not a chance.

Please? I'll give you $1,000.

Where will you get $1,000?

From my share of the 5 million.

I'll write you an I.O.U. Right now.

Come on, Benny. Go!

I can't do it.

Why not?

I can't make the scene.

What?

I'm a union man.

I can't cross the picket line.

That's no picket line.

That's a bunch of nuts protesting the bomb.

Go on, Benny.

Let me off the hook.

I'll be eternally grateful.

All right.

You wouldn't be any good in your condition, anyway.

Get in.

Tozzi!

You.

You go.

And no lip, understand?

I can't take it, Harry.

What do you mean?

I--i am a pacifist.

Pacifist?

Yes.

This isn't a war.

It's a stickup.

Now go on.

Come in.

Oh, yes.

Come in. Come in.

Are you still working at this hour?

A great caper is like a symphony.

To achieve perfection,

one must study, one must rehearse.

Over and over. No?

I don't know much about such things,

but I'd like to learn.

I teach you sometime.

Right now, I must concentrate on work.

But surely all work and no pleasure...

It's not healthy.

You should relax more.

Hmm. Perhaps,

but a boss has a great responsibility.

I know exactly what you need.

Vino!

Grazie. I like that.

You get the glasses there.

I open it.

I make a toast.

Ha ha!

To the big caper.

Salud. to Morocco.

To america.

If it wasn't for america,

I don't be here now.

You ever been to america?

I was born there,

but my parents moved around a lot.

Father was in the army.

Harry promised to take me back there soon.

Hmm.

What a country.

So much money.

So many things to do.

What a business we built in Chicago!

And good friends like big al,

nitti the enforcer, Elliot ness the cop.

It must have been exciting.

It was wonderful!

The parties, the food, the wine,

the big money.

Sure, it was hard work.

Some people weren't too happy

about what we do,

so we must show them who was right.

And in the end, everybody was nice.

You're nice, too, Mr. Celli.

You are very kind to an old man.

I appreciate.

You're not so old.

Don't ever say that.

I don't mean "old" old.

I'm still young enough to enjoy a pretty girl.

Oh, I'll bet you'll find

lots of pretty girls in Morocco.

Shall we drink to that?

How many, signore?

I wanted to see the manager.

The manager?

Yes, uh... The manager.

Perhaps I can be

of some service, signore.

No. The manager.

The office is behind you, signore.

Yes, yes.

The office is behind you, signore.

A table for one, please.

The manager?

I'll see him later.

Excuse me.

It is impossible to stay here.

Please.

I'm just dropping a friend.

Get out, benjy.

No. This one.

Mmm.

Hmm.

What are you doing?

A little bite, that's all.

I couldn't stand it anymore.

Don't tell anybody I broke the diet.

Harry's outside. You better hurry up.

Just a little zucchini, Davey.

Might as well hang me for a murderer

as a thief.

Don't say that!

Taste this.

Just taste it. It's great.

I couldn't do better myself.

Hmm?

Sit down.

There is more.

I better tell Harry.

Huh.

I think if you remove your jacket,

you'll feel better.

Here. Let me do that.

It's more comfortable that way.

I like that.

You are a very good girl.

Permit me.

Ahh, lovely.

A little more on this side.

Oh, we forgot your feet.

We don't want your legs to get tired.

Let me help you.

There.

I like that.

You are a refreshing girl,

like a glass of verdicchio.

Verdicchio.

Do they have verdicchio in Morocco?

They have everything in Morocco, my dear.

You're sure you can get rid

of all that platinum?

That's what we got a fence for.

And he knows the people

who can buy $5 million worth of platinum?

Si, si.

I'd like to meet such a man.

You will.

What's his name?

Did you enjoy your dinner, signore?

Superb.

Just the most magnificent meal

I ever had... Except, uh...

Except?

Too much oregano in the zucchini garibaldi.

Huh.

Where is the manager?

I would like to talk to him.

Something wrong, signore?

Just tell me where he is.

Over there, signore.

Well? Well?

He love it.

Except...

Except what?

He said there was too much oregano

in the zucchini garibaldi.

What? My specialty?

It bears my name.

It is my reputation!

No! Pasquale!

Eccolo.

Pasquale, prego, stay calm!

I see. I see!

Pasquale. Pasquale!

Tozzi! You rat! You talk to me!

You're jealous because you can't cook like me!

You big fat baboon!

He--ooh!

Oh, no!

Ah! Ah!

Ow!

What's happening?

Ah! My leg! My leg!

What's happened to my leg? Ah!

Too much oregano in my zucchini garibaldi, he says.

I should have killed him!

You're sure you know who he is?

Of course I know-- Antonio tozzi.

We used to work together in Torino.

He was the pasta chef.

O.k. O.K. Calm down.

We'll pick him up.

Somewhere in this world

there is a someone who believes in me

and somewhere in this world

is the girl who shares my destiny

there's a time and a place

and a world worth facing, so I'm chasing

the biggest bundle of them all

the biggest bundle of them all

Oh, hi!

What are you doing here?

Dancing-- with the professor.

Ha ha ha!

He's really got the beat...

For his age, I mean.

Great little teacher.

I never thought I'd get past the mashed potato.

Ha ha ha!

He's cute, isn't he, Harry?

Yeah.

Come on. I'll buy you all a drink.

Come on, tozzi.

Oh, Juliana, here.

You sit right here.

Well, what will it be?

Scotch? Wine? Bourbon?

Wine.

Wine. Bring us a nice bottle of ischia wine.

Yes, sir.

Oh, tozzi, I'm sorry.

It's nothing. It's all right.

It could have been worse, you know.

You're lucky.

Don cesare tells me

that you boys had a little trouble tonight.

We blew it.

Well, it's a shame.

You know, time's running out.

The platinum will be in taranto in a few days.

Things just went all wrong.

Well, that's too bad.

Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.

Well...

That's the way it goes sometimes.

Here you are, my dear.

Many is the time

that Don cesare and I sat by a warm fire

and talked of the philosophy of crime.

Many is the time we said to each other

that there are cycles--

times when the job works, times when the job fails.

There's always the law of probability.

I have a great respect for the law.

Mr. Celli asked us to come see you.

Maybe you get an idea.

Maybe.

I, uh, have been discussing certain possibilities

with some of the boys around town.

They tell me that in this great city of yours

there is a unique and profitable business--

the business of repairing jewelry.

As I understand, a great deal of it is shipped here

from all parts of the world,

and not all of it arrives in good condition.

To ship it back would be too expensive,

so each shop sends its jewelry

to a central location in the city for repairs.

Collections are made once each month

from all the best shops in town,

and the stones and the settings

are brought in plain cases by only two men--

special guards who wear plain clothes

so as not to arouse suspicion.

They drive an old truck for the same reason.

Perfect! They've gone inside.

Can you see Benny and Harry?

Yes. They are in position.

What's the time?

Three minutes.

The professor says they are inside only four.

The professor is always right.

Perhaps I will wind the watch up.

Ah ha! They come out now.

Hey, signore,

you got any idea where this number is?

Now, Davey. It's your turn.

Drive away the truck.

Right.

Oh! Did they Rob it yet?

No, my dear.

They've only just taken the men away.

Davey will now do the job.

I have to get ready to drive off and meet them.

Not yet. Not yet.

I like to watch a good plan working.

Fool! Start the engine.

Drive away!

What did you say?

Something is wrong. He's not moving yet.

Maybe he forgot the key.

The key is there. It's something else.

Move, you idiot!

O.k., but I thought you wanted to stay and watch.

Not you--Davey!

Not me what?

Never mind. Stop!

Look at the mess you have made.

Just a little scratch.

Show me all your documents.

I want to see your driver license,

your car license, and your registration book.

I haven't got it.

How many time are people told

that you must carry it in the car?

It's not my car.

What? Then what are you doing inside it?

I was just trying to move it a few feet,

that's all.

That's all, eh?

Yeah. That's all.

What's all this?

Just a crash. I'm dealing with it.

Looks to me like a case

for the polizia della strada.

Something the matter?

No registration book and no license.

Oh. A case for the carabinieri, no?

Wait a minute.

Wait a moment, please.

Let me explain!

It's a matter of traffic--

no. That is in the city.

No. No.

But it is my duty! I--

no. No. No.

I tell you, that's--

no. No. No.

When did you last hear from your husband,

signora Collins?

About a week ago.

He came in the afternoon, like usual.

Davey's dead or something. I feel it.

He never used to miss a day.

What am I going to do without him?

Oh, my poor Davey.

Did he ever say he was unhappy about something?

No. He was the happiest man in the world.

He had everything.

You must find him. Please!

Don't worry. We'll find him for you.

Naples. Uh--

napoli, per favore.

Hey, not bad at all.

It's there... In taranto.

We have only 22 hours!

22 hours?

That's hardly any time at all.

The professor says it's loading now.

It leaves in six hours

and will be where we meet it at 3:21 tomorrow afternoon.

What are you talking about?

We still don't have the 3 grand we need.

3 grand.

3 lousy grand to make 5 million...

And you dumb oxes mess it up every time.

We got to move,

and we got to move fast!

Maybe the law of probability will prove--

aspetta! I am thinking!

It's no good, celli. There's no time left.

I said I was thinking.

Leave me alone!

Shut up.

I got to keep in shape.

How did I ever get mixed up with you stupid--

even my old muscle boy from Chicago

had enough brains to do a job right,

and he was a moron.

Ah! I should throw you all out.

Why don't you shut your big mouth

and try to do something yourself?

Harry, take it easy.

All right.

I will do it.

I will stoop to a low thing,

but I will do it.

I'll show you how to perform the heist!

I'll show you the celli of the old days.

I'll teach you how to work when your time is run down!

Celli, you're out of your skull.

This two-bit joint wouldn't have 300,

let alone 3,000.

This two-bit joint has what we want.

I make one phone call today

to make sure it's here.

You sure you want to do this all alone?

Celli works alone, my friend,

when he must show his pupils how it is done.

You will see a job done now

with style, with grace,

and in the open daylight.

Here.

I don't even use that.

No gun? You are nuts.

The man will believe I have a gun.

Observe and learn.

Keep the engine running.

When that grease monkey lays a wrench on celli's head,

take off.

What about him?

If he's stupid enough to try this,

he deserves to get caught.

I'm not running in to drag him out.

That's good.

Now nobody passing here will know what's happening.

He's doing it!

Hey, maybe he's not

so fruity as we thought.

Get going.

O.k., Harry.

More than 3 grand.

When I tell you I do something,

I do it right.

You listen to celli.

What about that attendant?

He looks madder than hell.

Good-bye!

Sorry I didn't have more to lend you, uncle cesare.

Why should he kick?

He was taken by a master.

Ha ha ha ha!

I don't get you, Mr., uh...

D'ambrosi.

Well, I just don't get you, Mr. D'ambrosi.

I thought you were looking for good scrap.

I got the best scrap in Naples here.

I do not look for scrap.

I wish to make a monument

to my poor dead nephew, Alfredo.

How much?

How many you want?

One?

If I sell you one, I got to charge more money.

It's U.S. government regulations.

For a monument to a dead soldier boy

who gave his life for us?

I'll tell you what I'll do.

I give it to you for 500,000 lire.

That's 800 bucks. O.K.?

You wish to make so much profit

on a poor soldier boy

who drove tanks like this through the gunfire

and terror and death of anzio beach?

Anzio, eh?

400,000 lire?

It will sit on the lawn

in front of the Alfredo d'ambrosi club,

affiliated with the unione d'italia society,

painted gold and shining.

350,000 lire?

There are a lot of Italian people

in the scrap business,

members of the unione d'italia.

What are they going to think when I tell them

you want so much money?

You wouldn't do that to me, would you?

I'll give it to you for 300,000 lire.

That's rock-bottom.

Less than that, the U.S. government loses money.

The little children--

they saved 5 and 10 lire.

They scrimped and went without ice cream

to make the monument

to my poor dead nephew d'ambrosi.

250,000. Please.

It's $400 only.

Does it run?

You want a monument that runs?

For the children.

Aw...the kids.

I'll give you one that runs.

250,000, though, o.K.?

Which one?

Come.

Here, I'll give you this baby.

It's a good one.

Bless you, sergeant.

Bless you.

My nephew will never forget you.

All right. Get the cards out.

Special car reporting.

We are just leaving the docks.

Angelina petrone?

Yes?

We're police.

We want to talk to you about your fiance--

Antonio tozzi.

He's hurt.

He fainted from his diet.

He's not dead?

He's wanted on suspicion of armed robbery.

Where can we find him?

You must be looking for the wrong man.

My Antonio would never be involved in a robbery.

He's been identified.

It's got to be a mistake.

Antonio is a chef.

Has he been around to see you?

No. I won't allow it--

not until he loses 100 pounds.

No girl likes to get crushed.

When did you see him last?

Weeks ago. He was going on a slimming cure.

Did he say where?

No. Just something about a friend named Harry price.

Harry price? I've seen him few times.

I played pool with him only last week.

Where can I find him?

What's he done?

Written a few bad checks.

Ha ha ha!

He's quite a boy.

You got to hand it to him.

It's better than working for a living.

Where is he?

Uh, uh, uh!

You want it to get around

that pasqualetto's a stoolie, eh?

Ah!

How much you stand to win from me on this game?

2,000 lire.

Suppose you won 10,000?

Pensione vesuvio.

Everything.

We have everything, professor.

We'll see you there.

The professor is leaving now for Morocco.

Hurry up. We only have six hours left.

Great.

Is he going to see the fence man soon?

Heh heh. My dear, he's the fence man.

You are leaving?

That's right.

You have a wonderful service, nice place.

How much I owe you?

40,000 lire.

130,000 for everyone.

This for me and my crew.

Crew?

My boys in the truck outside.

Grazie Mille.

You are a wonderful cook...

And a beautiful lady.

I included the tip.

Oops! I forgot my bag. Hold this.

Lovely man.

You know what those boys outside told me

they had in the truck?

Army tanks and planes and ships and cannons.

Aren't they crazy?

They're a riot.

Arrivederci!

"Bring home bread, salami, cheese"?

Robbers! Police!

Robbers! Police!

Stop! I want my money!

My money!

What I'm looking for is something

to start my own freight service with.

Is good, eh?

Private enterprise-- you can't beat it.

With a couple of planes and some good orders,

you'll be a major airline in no time.

How's this?

No. No.

I want something bigger than that.

I need a good range, big payload.

Bigger.

I got just what you need.

Come here to look. There!

She's a beauty, right?

Only one previous owner-- the U.S. air force.

Got less than 4,000 hours.

Clean as a whistle!

Looks like it's got a hole.

A hole?

All right. I be honest with you.

It did take a piece of flak,

but nothing to be concerned about.

The hole was patched up, the blood scraped off.

Look, it's not a demonstrator,

but if it's a good transportation airplane you need,

this is it.

Look at the rubber, eh?

Go on. Kick there.

Kick there. Go on.

Ooh!

You all right, eh?

Mind your head. Mind your head.

Ah. See? Look at the construction.

Ooh!

You all right, eh?

You all right?

The construction. Look at the construction.

How much is it?

Book price, $8,500...

But our price to you today,

$6,999 delivered to you

and, if you have good credit,

100% financing.

Sounds pretty good to me.

Cash or credit?

I'd like a demonstration ride before I decide.

Come as fast as you can!

Yes?

The name's peckinpaugh--

Percy peckinpaugh, private eye, New York.

Do you have a Benjamin brownstead registered here?

I'm looking for him. Wife trouble. Alimony.

He's supposed to be here with a Harry price.

Good morning. Have you seen a Davey Collins?

He was supposed to be here

with Harry something-or-other.

What's all the excitement?

And who are you looking for?

Harry price. Bad checks.

Didn't anybody come to answer my call?

What call?

There were these people here,

and they ran off without--

hold it.

All right. Who are you looking for?

Antonio tozzi.

And you?

Cesare celli.

I am telling you, those were the men--

the ones that run off

without paying their bill.

They were all together?

They drove off in a truck.

Are they criminals?

Yes.

I thought they were joking.

Joking about what?

They said they had guns and bullets

and...and a tank!

I think we all better go to headquarters.

You, too, please.

Yes, yes, of course.

All right. Who called the police?

Mr. Celli!

Quickly, Mr. Celli.

Disaster!

Catastrophe!

The job is finished!

Benami, what's the matter?

It's Davey. He's locked in.

Please. The key.

What key?

The key to the toilet.

There isn't any key.

A man's stuck in there.

He can't get the door open.

He shut that door?

Of course he shut the door, idiot.

But nobody has shut that door in years.

Hey, open up.

Get me out of here, somebody!

Hey, open up.

Open up! Hey!

Get me out of here, somebody!

Take it easy. Yelling don't help.

Turn the knob, idiot.

There is no knob.

Get me out, please.

We'll have to take the door off the hinges.

Look for the key.

Davey, you are costing us time.

We should let you stay there.

Get some tools.

Tozzi, you better stay in the truck.

Signor celli, please get me out of here.

All right, Davey.

Just take it easy.

I can't.

There's a bee in here!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Antonio tozzi.

Armed robbery.

What the hell is this?

All we know is they are all together.

You have an idea why?

No, sir.

They have a tank.

What kind? Fuel? Water?

Army.

Get an all-points on that truck,

and watch every line of communication.

A tank!

Be careful. Be careful!

No, to the left. To the left!

That's too much.

That's too much!

Give me a chance, will you?

I never drove a tank before.

I was in the infantry.

It passes a whistle signal

in exactly 10 seconds.

1...2...3...

4...5...6...

7...

8...

9...

10!

Good.

O.k.

Move the Cannon!

I am dreaming.

What is that?

Davey, benami, go.

I get you for this!

Get out.

No.

All right.

Load the Cannon!

All right.

Hey!

Davey, watch that thing.

Do you think you're Jesse James?

Sorry, benjy. Didn't mean it.

Accident.

Guard them.

Right. I've killed the radio.

Juliana, the ladder.

Switchman.

Switchman!

Si, signore.

You come with me.

Unfasten.

Give the signal.

Get back aboard.

Si, signore.

Up!

Come on. Up. Up!

Come on. Get up!

Via! Via!

Subito. Subito.

Via! Via!

O.k., take off.

Wagons, roll!

Give me those.

Get the explosives.

Be careful!

Wait for me!

I just need one.

Davey!

Get out!

Hey! You're not supposed to stop here.

I said, what's the trouble?

What are you all steamed up for?

I want the police.

Two.

Right. Let's go.

Three.

Come on.

Four.

O.k., tozzi. Cut along here.

O.k., five!

What about the bomb bay?

Bomb bay?

Is it strong enough to hold a lot of weight?

Oh, sure.

Hold anything you want.

Good.

You'll see how she handles.

She banks like a dream.

O.k. Take her up.

Take her up?

Take her up.

General alarm, inspector.

They fit the description.

Capuano here.

Get the helicopter ready.

I think you boys did just great.

Stop patting the back. We're not done yet.

Autopilot.

See, I told you.

She's got all the extras.

She's great.

You take her?

Yeah.

I'll take her right now.

I don't want to live in Cuba.

We're not going to Cuba.

There's an abandoned emergency airstrip right there.

That's where we're going.

Captain del signore.

Glad to know you.

I am inspector capuano, Interpol napoli.

Lieutenant naldi.

Glad to meet you.

A little out of your territory, aren't you?

I thought we might help.

Let's use your chopper

and see what we find.

You wait here.

Ah...ohh...

Ow!

Did you get it?

Sure.

You any trouble?

I'm here.

One.

All right.

Two.

Hello, baby.

Hi. Are you o.K.?

Cuckoo.

You find out what I want to know?

Uh-huh, and you know what?

Professor Sam was the fence man

all the time.

Professor Sam, huh?

Hey, you did beautiful, baby.

Now, you keep your eye on me.

When I make my move,

you hop on board.

Here. Watch him.

Let's go.

Ah.

They get away with it?

3,000 pounds of platinum.

$5 million.

They couldn't have gone far.

To sell it,

they'd have to get it out of the country.

The truck took the old road.

They cut across country.

It doesn't go far.

Let's go, inspector.

See if you can spot them

from up there.

Let me know by radio.

The last one? Good.

Benjy, you finish stacking.

O.k.?

O.k.

Oh, we don't need that now.

Get on the wing.

We have to put the gas in.

Put gas in?

What do you think?

That salesman is going to

put in enough gas to go to Morocco

just for a 10-minute demonstration ride?

Get on the wing.

Up on the truck.

Yeah. I didn't think about that.

That's why I'm the boss.

I think about it.

Hurry up! I start the pump.

O.k., celli. Start pumping.

Inspector capuano, can you hear me?

This is del signore.

Have you seen anything of them yet?

Not a sign,

but there's an air force strip

over the mountain.

You want me to check it?

Yes, you'd better check it out.

We will follow their tracks here.

Over and out.

You go that way.

You follow the tracks.

Come on.

Helicopter!

Helicopter!

There are five of them and a girl.

The sixth looks like the plane's pilot.

If they get off the ground,

we'll never catch them.

Try to get close enough for me to fire.

Maybe I'll hit their fuel tank.

Hey. What the hell?

Are they shooting?

No. We're out of gas.

Took them 20 minutes to get over here.

All right, that's enough!

Drop everything!

All right, celli. That's far enough.

What are you talk?

You stay here.

We don't need you anymore.

Oh...double cross.

You are an evil man.

Yeah, that's me. Let's go.

I said let's go.

The cops will be here any minute.

I don't like this, Harry.

You're too much, Harry.

If Mr. Celli don't go,

we don't go.

You--get the plane ready for takeoff.

I guess you'll only have two passengers.

All right, honey. Get in.

Go on!

We'll have it all to ourselves, baby.

I'm not going, Harry.

What?

I said I'm not going!

It's not right what you're doing.

Mr. Celli's a nice man.

I can't do that to him.

Are you crazy?

You're giving up 5 million bucks

for that old chiseler?

Yes!

I'll give up all the rest of it, too.

You can have Montevideo,

Jamaica, Hawaii.

I don't want to go anywhere with you.

Not ever.

Just go away and leave me alone!

All right. Get in.

You, too, celli.

After you.

For all, benami.

I only wanted to buy a new violin.

Let's go.

It should warm up first.

We'll warm it up in the air.

Aah!

Move.

Pull it up!

She won't come!

Flaps. Flaps.

I forgot flaps.

O.k.

Take your hands off it.

Take your hand away!

Oh. Ohh!

Look! We found them!

Oh!

Gentlemen.

It is an unfortunate thing that's happened,

but do not despair.

There are good times and bad times.

In the philosophy of crime,

there is the law of probability.

We cannot lose all the time.

The professor and I

have talked of Morocco--

of the national treasury,

which they so carelessly guard.

The professor is already there.

We could have plans ready in no time,

no time at all.

Millions of dollars, boys.

Millions!

You better tell that flier to close the doors.

It's cold in here.

Celli.

You're a real cuckoo bird.

In all the world there'll never be

a love as wonderful for me

I've had my share of dreams come true

and most of all, there's you

though I may travel near and far

my love is always where you are

the world is wide, but loves are few

and most of all, there's you
