Dick, honey, I tell you there's something strange going on at the club.

Yeah, that gin joint's bad news, Tracy.

That man ever since Lucky Lefty won it from Harry the Hitter.

I'm telling you, that rat trap's been crooked since the day it was built.

Tracy.

Dick, if you're trying to tell me to quit singing at that club, don't bother.

I've heard it all before.

You want me to quit?

Want me to quit? You slap a ring on this finger right here. Until then, you can

stuff it.

Oh, honey.

Don't go getting sore at me.

I just thought maybe you'd help me find Viola.

That dame hasn't even been missing for 48 hours yet.

I'll hear from him by tomorrow night.

Maybe I'll look into it.

Until then, I've got to make some headway into this mountain of paperwork.

Um, I don't mean to butt in or anything, but I have some free time. Maybe I

could help with the case?

There is no case.

Yet.

But, if you've got so much free time on your hands, maybe you can help out with

some of this paperwork.

Yes, sir.

Why don't you let her check into Viola, Dickie?

It's Dick.

Just Dick.

She's not qualified.

She's a cop, ain't she?

Sure. But that cookie's no detective.

The only reason she got this job is because she's the only cop in the

house who can type with more than one finger.

What if somebody kidnapped Viola?

Kidnappers send ransom notes.

And what if she just met some guy?

They tied one on.

She didn't feel like coming into work today.

Won't be the first time.

I called her house. She wasn't there.

So maybe they're at his place.

I just got a feeling.

That's all.

Yeah, well, I can't call out the cop just because you got a feeling.

I wasn't calling out the whole police station.

I was just asking you for a favor.

Did I do it?

Tomorrow.

Fine, I give up.

How about tonight?

I'll face.

I got work to do. I got to go through these files.

Well, we could go to my place.

No.

I got a feeling I can get more work done right here.

Well, we could have more fun at my place.

Tracy.

We're all right. We'll stay here.

You're welcome to stay if you want, but I got work to do.

Now, if you're real nice and quiet -like, maybe we can stop in a Petey's

I walk you home.

Mom.

Stop.

But I thought you wanted to, uh... Well, I did, but not until we're married.

Women.

I think it's time that you walk me home now.

I think it's time that I did, too.

I'll show them. I could be a real detective.

I didn't go to police academy school to spend my days typing.

Nothing happens at that club without Lucky Lefty being in on it.

And I know how to make Lefty open up.

Lefty? Who is it wants to know?

Um, we haven't met yet, but my name's Jane.

Well, Jane.

What makes it so important that you break into my club this time of night?

The door was unlocked.

I locked it myself.

Um, there's something I want to show you.

Okay.

Not bad.

You want to be a dancer?

Well... Don't be nervous. I like your spunk.

You got the job.

Come on by Tuesday at noon for rehearsals. You do two shows on

Thursday, three shows on weekends.

You'll meet Lily on Tuesday.

Ask her anything you want to ask her. She'll tell you.

Thanks, Mr. Lefty.

Call me Lefty.

I have something else I can do for you, sweetheart.

I was just thinking about how much more handsome you are in person than you are

in the picture and the paper.

Well, don't pay attention to none of the garbage you read in the paper, all

right? They got their information wrong.

Sure, Lefty.

Do I get another look, please?

Want a drink?

Yeah, sure.

So you think old Lefty's a looker, huh?

Um, yeah, sure.

I guess you heard about how when Lefty takes to a girl, she winds up showing

fancy furs and jewelry, huh?

Um, no, not exactly.

Oh. Then I guess you heard how when Lefty makes love to the right woman,

it's the best.

Now, to that rumor, there's been truth.

Hey, uh... I sense you're pushing me away.

What's the matter with you?

I'm sorry.

You're about to be loved by Lefty.

It'll probably be the greatest experience of your life.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Look at this.

It's funny.

Oh.

Oh. Oh.

Harder?

why you really came here.

What are you talking about?

Don't play dumb with me.

How do you know? All cops got flat feet no matter how stacked they are. And the

first thing a dance hall girl learns is to walk in fights.

You're coming with me.

Come on.

Hi, how you doing?

Tracy, I didn't think anyone was here.

Well, first show isn't till late, and usually I'm lucky if my girls are here

ten up.

I know. I just wanted to try a new hairstyle.

Hmm, I like it.

So, uh, how's things going with you and that big old hunk of a boyfriend of

yours? Hmm, not bad.

Still no ring, though, huh?

No. And he's still trying to get me to quit singing here.

Are you still holding out on him?

Yeah, I figure that's the best way.

Well, you could be wrong there, kid.

If you'd like some advice from Lily Diamond, I say you give him a night like

ain't never had before.

And when he comes begging for more, that's when you steer him around to the

jewelers.

I don't know, Lily.

I'll consider that.

But, well, you know, nothing else seems to be working. It doesn't sound like a

bad idea to me.

Trust me, it works every time.

I've got so many diamonds now, I can wear one on each finger and each toe and

still have a pile left over.

I'll be happy with just one.

Well, whatever suits you.

So, who have you been shacking up with in the meantime?

What? Don't tell me you haven't been getting your chimes rung since you've

baiting the big lug.

I haven't.

You must be going crazy.

Well... Wanting it so bad.

Lily, stop. I don't want to think about it.

I'm getting you riled, am I?

Well, I couldn't do it.

I swear I couldn't.

After only a couple of days, the need starts burning through me.

It's like an itch that just won't stop.

I get so... I just can't hardly think of nothing else.

It must take so much willpower knowing how bad you want it.

I want it. I want it.

I want it.

I want it.

Oh, I want it.

I want you.

I want you.

Oh.

Oh God, I hope this is long enough.

Yeah.

Oh.

Thank you.

Isn't that better than waiting?

Oh, yeah.

Where have you been?

Out. Like I never would have noticed.

I was following up on a lead.

That Viola?

Another case.

Where'd you find my hat?

It was at the club.

That's my hat, all right.

How on earth did it wind up at the club?

Something very strange is going on here.

That's what I've been trying to tell you.

Last night when I spoke to Lily Diamond, and I asked her if she'd heard from

Viola, you know what she told me?

No, but I assume you're about to tell me.

She said that Viola went to visit her sick mother in Cleveland.

What's so strange about that?

Viola's an orphan.

Jack, get in there on the double.

Sir.

Tracy, I want you to think hard.

Was Jane Hamilton in here the other night when you were telling me about

suspicions about the club?

Yeah, sure.

I was afraid of that.

Jack, have you seen Officer Hamilton lately?

Not for a few days.

Strangest thing, though. She hasn't called in thick or nothing.

Something's cooking, and I don't like the smell of it.

Jack, get down to Officer Hamilton's place and see if you can turn her up.

I'm going down to Lefty's Club to nose around.

If she shows, I want you to call me there.

Great.

You stay here till I get back, dollface.

But... No but.

You'll be safe here.

Well, lady, it's been a pleasure.

I see bad things had to work out this way.

Come on, Lefty, we got to get a move on, unless you got a mind to be swimming to

South America.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I hate to do it, but I got to blow you two away now.

I'll be waiting in the car.

No, Lefty, don't. I swear, I won't say anything to anyone.

What about the lady copper?

Um, she won't say nothing either. I'll make sure of it.

A lot of my boys are going to be sticking around in town after I leave.

You decide to go back on your word and they're going to do horrible things to

you. I know, Leslie. I swear I won't say anything.

Yeah, once you get past the seven mile, they can't touch you.

Yeah, that's right, smarty pants.

Come here, you.

Cut it out, cupcake. I'm a cop.

How do I know you ain't lying? Where's your badge?

You stop wiggling around for a minute, I'll show it to you.

Now, you mind explaining to me what you're doing in Jane's flat?

I'm Sherry Tart, and I live here, too.

Jane didn't say nothing about no rooming. Would she tell you all her

business? No.

But I can't see you with no cop.

Especially a dame cop would be doing a living with no floozy. What makes you

think I'm a floozy? I'm a detective.

Oh. Don't worry about us, Dick. Lefty's getting away.

Don't tell him anything, please.

Lefty wasn't fooling around.

His boys are all... You don't have to worry about Lefty anymore.

Or his boys.

How'd you find him, Dick?

You're a better cop than I thought, Jane.

That was a real smart move to leave your two -way radio on.

Does that mean you're going to put me on some real cases now?

We've got plenty of time to talk about that later.

Wait, what about Lefty's boys?

We've been bringing them in all night.

We've got such a tight net around that city, not one of those dirty rats is

going to get loose.

This calls for a celebration.

I know I'd like to keep the best champagne.

Break it out.

Let's do that.

I'm so glad Jane's okay.

I just don't know what I'd do without her.

She put my whole life back together.

I just don't think I could keep it up alone.

You won't ever have to.

You have Jane.

And you have me.

You?

I was hoping we could be friends.

Actually, I was hoping we could be more than friends.

You know about my past, and you know the things I've done, and you still want to

be with me?

Everyone's entitled to a few mistakes.

You were just a kid.

And I want you very, very much.

To freedom.

I'll drink to that.

Yeah. I've always wondered why they did that in the movies. I'm glad you did it

first. Now I won't have to.

But seriously, I want to make a toast to the man who saved our lives, our hero,

Dick.

I was just doing our job.

And a great job you did.

We'd like to show you our thing. Yes, we would.

I really don't think this is necessary.

We do.

No.

Anything for the force.

Oh, shit.

Sorry.

um oh

I don't know where you got that champagne, but it's a damn good year.

When I

told you to put your head together in this case, that's where I had mine.

Hello. Hello.

Thank you.

Any insertion?

Oh. Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh yeah.

Oh.

It's your turn now.

Oh yeah.

Oh, my God.

I love you.

Oh!

was great.

Really?

Really. You're just saying that?

No, I'm not.

Sure you are.

And when I call to see you again, you'll always have a convenient excuse.

Oh, you're wrong.

We'll see.

I want to do it again.

Sure.

Let me down easy.

I want to do it now.

Now? Now.

What happened?

Did a bomb go off in here?

No.

I went off in here.

I heard the whole thing.

Jane's two -way radio.

She never turned it off.

I'm sorry, Tracy.

No.

I'm sorry.

I don't think you would have ever done that.

If I hadn't played those stupid games.

Trying to get you to marry me.

Yeah.

Well, I've been thinking about it, too, and... I still can't afford a wife.

But I'll be able to soon.

I'm due for a raise in a few months.

How would you feel about...

Being engaged.

Oh, Dickie, you make me so happy.

Oh,

I love you, Tracy.

I love you, too.

Thank you.

Oh. Oh.

Huh.

Oh.

Oh.

Yeah.

Ugh.

Hmm.

oh oh

Die!

Yes,

yes.

Just a little bit dry. Just a little bit dry, Tracy.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.
