Well, cats, that does it for the first show

but stick around and have yourself a couple

of more rounds of that good juice.

We'll see you about midnight.

So this here big joker,

he said he would never join the nicest salon no how.

But he keeps comin' around on his plantation.

He does.

They keep comin' around, but he.

Ah, come on, Charlie, finish the joke.

Don't bother, lady.

It's a lousy joke anyway.

What do you mean it's a lousy joke, huh, buddy?

How do you know it's a lousy joke, shrimp?

I heard it.

It stinks.

Stinks?

My joke stinks?

Charlie, sit down, you're makin' a scene.

What do you mean makin' a scene?

That little squirt said my joke stinks.

It stinks,

almost as much as you, fatso.

I stink?

Reason he's laughin' so hard is he forgot the punchline.

Can't finish the joke, the drunken phony.

- Why you! - Leave him alone, Charlie.

He's just a wise guy.

Leave him alone.

But he insulted me.

I know, I know.

He won't do it again.

And if he bothers you that much,

We'll get rid of him.

He's bothering me that much!

Then sit someplace else.

You bother me, fatty.

Want me to call the management and have you tossed out?

You know, I got influence in this here place.

I can have you tossed out on your ear.

Go ahead, be my guest.

Hey, Philippe, Philippe, come over here!

Oui, Monsieur Johnson?

Hey, mac, get out of the way, will ya?

I'm tryin' to see the show.

Philippe, this guy is annoying me, get rid of him.

Annoying you, Monsieur Johnson?

- That's right, me too. - And her too.

Monsieur, I will have to ask you to go.

All right, ask me.

Will you leave quietly?

No.

Let me go.

Let go of me, ya big ape.

Now beat it, smart boy, and don't come back,

or I'll break your head.

Break whose head, ya phony Frenchman?

You ain't so tough.

Took this moose here to throw me out.

Guess that only proves

how much smarter than you he is.

Didn't even get his hair mussed.

Let you do all the dirty work.

Break his neck!

Maybe I ought to break your neck.

Don't get wise with me, boy, I could fire you tonight.

Fire me?

Sure, he's just been lookin' for the chance.

He hates bartenders and orphans.

Hey, listen, big shot, you ain't gonna fire me tonight.

Oh yeah, you're fired!

Why you, I'll give you a...

Cool, baby, cool.

The Blockbusters are still blowin' an instrumental,

but in about an 1/8 of lick, I'll swing in there,

and you can wail for all them cats,

and you'll gas 'em, baby.

You'll really gas 'em.

- I hope you're right. - Right?

I'm always straight.

If I ain't straight, it means I ain't with it,

and tonight, baby, I'm with it.

Well, get with it, man, it's frigid out here.

We got to make it over to the Swingsville.

Cool, you'll make it, Eddie.

You've got an hour before you start to blow.

I've got to cop this chick an audition with Big Al.

I want to see her gas 'em right out of his skull.

Hey, like, man, look,

you're always takin' us on these auditions.

When are you gonna set us up in a real swingin' joint?

Oh, cool it, in front.

You're squeezin' the goose and the golden egg.

I got you a gig already.

- Oh, I wish I'm in. - Scared, Julie?

Yeah, a little.

It's just that I never been on an audition before.

You think this Al will really like me?

Oh sure he'll like you, baby.

He'll love you.

You're just being kind.

No, no, no, we're not.

He'll flip when he hears you.

It's just-- - It's just what?

Well, look, baby, an audition at Al's doesn't mean much.

Like, Sir Bop breaks in all his acts here.

You got a live audience.

It's good for the practice.

He hasn't hired anybody yet,

but he hasn't got the bread either.

Oh.

Yeah!

Should I do it, Steve?

Why ask me?

You know you got to do it.

Yeah, but I mean now, or should I wait

until the outfit finishes their number?

Bust 'em up when they're havin' so much fun.

It's your conscience, not mine.

Go, daddy, go!

♪ Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead ♪

Hey!

Great, great, great!

That was the infinite.

That was the livin', rompin', stompin',

whippin', flippin', non-stop end.

That's what it was, daddy.

Oh that was a gasser.

I hate to do this, kids,

but I got to check your IDs.

- Aw, come on, man. - What for?

We were just dancing. - Sorry, but I gotta do it.

We serve wet stuff in this joint.

That is, once in a while, we do.

Man, I don't have my ID with me.

How old are you?

- 21. - Me too.

I'm sorry, but you don't have the dope to prove it,

so I got to use my own judgment

if I'm gonna keep my license.

Let 'em jump, Al, don't be unfair.

Unfair?

Yeah, man, you were unfair to organized stompin'.

Turn it off.

Good night, kids.

Well, wait a minute, I want to stick around for a while.

Look, Mike, don't get in a beef.

We'll go where we're welcome.

- Drag. - Drag city.

Your first satisfied customers in two years,

and you had to throw 'em out.

You just want to see me get closed,

so you'll have a story.

Ha, the day I get a story out of this dump,

I'll buy a bottle of your watered rye.

Hey, daddy, did you dig The Blockbusters?

They're great.

How 'bout another number, boys?

Free jam calls for free beer, cool?

Cool, you got it.

Cool, "Rock and Roll Guitar," fellas.

Hey, yeah!

Well, dad? - Well what?

Well, what, do you want these wild cats?

Well, sure I want 'em.

- Solid. - How much?

A thou a week.

Hey, that's a bit steep.

Steep?

Man, are you sick?

Why, these cats blow the maddest mess of music ever.

A thousand week is still a bit high for me.

Your gums'll beat a different tempo

when I turn you on to Julie.

Julie?

Yeah, the chick that wails with 'em.

Like, look, these cats have got time

for one more number, see,

and like, if you wanna dig the kid and Julie,

I got her stashed right out in the short.

Bring her in.

Crazy.

Get ready to flip.

How 'bout that story, huh, Steve?

No.

Gimme one sensible reason.

Because I'm the only reputable man left

in a disreputable business.

I have standards.

Nobody with standards would be found dead in my joint.

Al, you ever heard of Mark Ellinger?

You are no Mark Ellinger.

My point exactly.

I need something solid to go on.

My human interest stories need...

Ah, you wouldn't understand.

You're right, I wouldn't understand.

You gonna drink that same beer all night?

- Fill it up. - No.

Then stop complaining.

I could use a story in the papers.

It would build up business.

No.

You're on the arm for 14 bucks.

All you're looking at a man who's about

to be syndicated in 85 newspapers, that is,

if my idiot editor has any sense.

So how come you owe me 14 bucks?

Because my idiot editor has no sense.

Stick to the subject.

How 'bout doin' a story on me?

Al, you're a dull man with a dull past

and an even duller future.

There is nothing about you

that could possible interest any human being who can read.

Again, you're changing the subject.

Now I got the thing all set up, Julie, so dig me hard.

Go in, dig the action, get up on the stand

and then start to blow.

Hey, let me have a beer.

What have I got, a magnet or something

that pulls you into this place?

I was thirsty.

100 saloons you can be thirsty in front of.

Why does it always have to be me?

I like you, Al.

My wife hates me, and you like me.

That's the kind of luck I got.

Go away, will ya?

Sure.

What if I'm bad?

What if I'm just terrible?

Bad?

Terrible, why, kid, you're the queen.

You're the singular most.

You're the tip-top toposcope of the flip.

You're the--

Look, baby, you're just a little scared.

Go ahead, go on in there.

Those squares don't know the difference

between Dinah Washington and the Washington Monument.

That's right.

Come on.

He likes me.

Last week, he likes me 29 bucks worth

of busted tables and chairs.

You wouldn't think the little guy could do so much damage.

What's he so sore about?

What's any little man sore about?

About that story you're gonna do about my place.

Well, I leave all bar stories up

to men like Saroyan and O'Neill.

Why?

Because they're better than I am.

Well, ain't you better than anybody?

Well, I'm better than Phil Krause.

Who's Phil Krause?

Never heard of him, huh?

No.

That proves I'm better than he is.

Fill it up.

You got the most unfunny jokes I ever heard.

Hey, old buddy Al, this is Julie, the chick

that's gonna lift the lid right off of this gin mill.

Nice to meet you.

This is Steve.

Maybe you'll get your name in the paper.

Could be, could be, let's hear ya.

Yeah.

Now go ahead, honey.

You get right up there on that bandstand,

and you wail up a swingin' breeze, go on.

We only got a minute, baby.

What'll it be?

"I Guess I Won't Hang Around Here Anymore."

Solid.

That was crazy, baby, wild.

Sure, Julie, just, just fine.

No, it wasn't.

Dig this little half a studlet.

He doesn't know crazy sound when he hears it.

Pay up and get out.

I'll get out when I'm ready.

You get out now.

No, he's right.

I know he's right and so do you.

I'd have said so if he hadn't.

Look, she was bad.

That doesn't mean I don't think she can't sing good

once she gets over being nervous.

I might do better next time.

Sorry, little girl, we got to catch a train.

Better luck next time.

Come on, fellas.

Night, all.

Dig ya later, Sir Bop.

Don't worry about it, honey.

I liked you, even if you think you were bad.

Thank you.

Put your name in the paper anyway.

I wish you wouldn't, not yet.

We'll say nice things about you.

Poor little us.

Boy, do we feel sorry for ourselves.

Snatch that square!

Why don't you go play in traffic?

Some writer.

First time I heard that one,

I laughed so hard I broke my teething ring.

Look, if you're really a singer,

you'll laugh that one off and try another.

Didn't I see another bunch, you pardon the expression,

musicians sitting outside in front?

You did, dad.

I have the groovy honor of wheeling and dealing

for that mad group.

Why don't you bring 'em in,

so she can do another number?

Done, dad.

Root beer, honey?

I'd like one, thank you.

You're the show here.

Talent drinks on the house.

Look, don't bug me, daddy, now don't hang me up!

Look, are you flip, man?

We go on in 45 minutes.

Don't lay that bad jazz down on me, man.

You just don't wanna blow.

We're only 10 minutes from the swing house.

Oh, enough's enough, man.

Like, we're always wailing for you for no bread.

Now, dig me hard, daddy.

You're gonna go in there and ride--

This place taken?

My hat's on it.

That ain't what I asked.

My hat's on it.

You weren't listening.

Well, take it off!

Go someplace else.

Hey, Mabel, listen to this little punk.

Come on, don't start anything.

I got half a mind to break him in half.

You're taking the edge, big guy.

I don't figure you for half a mind.

I want an apology.

Why is it that little guys always want to pick fights?

I'm a bartender, not a philosopher.

Say somethin' nice

or I'm gonna bounce you right off that wall.

Now start talkin'. - I'm talkin'.

You listening?

Smart guy.

Come on, I want a drink.

Shut up, Mabel.

My hat's on it.

I said I want a drink.

They got tables for ladies, come on.

Wee, Maude, I'm a lady.

Couple of beers.

Maybe I want scotch.

Two beers.

Comin' up.

Beer drinkers, that's all I get.

Low pockets sure made a jerk out of you.

We get home, I'm gonna kick a couple of your teeth out.

Yeah, well, you ever see a lady with no teeth?

Who says you're a lady?

Oh boy.

Bet there's a story in that.

It all took place in Al's Cloud Nine.

Why?

Well, little guy made the big guy step down.

That's a story.

It's an incident.

A story has to have a beginning, a middle and an end.

Well, you're a writer.

You fill in those spots.

A statement like that is one sure way

of endearing yourself to a writer.

You're not a writer.

You're a newspaper man.

That's a way, too.

- Oh, what a drag. - It's for me, daddy.

It's for me.

Now come on, snap it up, let's get with it, daddy.

Come on. - All right,

we're in already. - This is the place.

Come on, up there, up there,

and lay down something real groovy.

You lay it down, and Julie will pick it up.

Won't you, Julie?

The court musicians await, Your Flipness.

Sounds like we're gonna have music.

I hope so.

Don't hope, baby, just sing.

You got it and you know it.

Now lay it down real strong, baby.

It's coming back.

Every time I have to sing in front of people,

I get this rock in my stomach.

Well, put that rock in your throat, baby,

because you ain't gonna make any loot singing in the shower.

What'd you have for dinner, chop suey?

Don't say anything, Jimmy.

You're just making it worse.

The usual, Al.

Saw The Kid in the prelim, Marty, looked great.

The next champ, Al.

The next champ is sittin' in your joint.

Looked great on TV.

Oh, the set was workin'.

Hear that?

Al knows, he's seen them all.

When the sets working.

He's gonna chicken on you.

He's what?

First chance he gets, he's gonna chicken.

- Who's he? - A friend, sorta.

What's he, a manager, a trainer, a second maybe?

He's a nothin'.

He's a nothin', Kid.

I always told ya, don't listen to nobody but me,

and I'll have ya wearin' the diamond belt.

What's he gonna buy with the lousy $25 he won tonight?

A lousy $25.

You got to start small, Syl.

Believe me, I got The Kid's interest at heart.

I wouldn't put him in over his head, not me.

Sure, listen to Marty, he knows.

A truck driver makes more

and doesn't get his teeth knocked out.

It was only one tooth.

I'm gettin' him a new mouthpiece, Syl.

And what's more, he's gonna get the title.

He's a killer.

He's got the instinct.

Please don't start nothin', Syl.

I got a right.

But to keep hammering and hammering.

My brother wants Lester to go in business with him.

Don't call him Lester.

That's his name.

What kind of a name is that for a fighter?

You don't have to be a fighter.

I didn't marry a fighter.

You said you were going into business with my brother.

You promised.

That was before I met Marty.

He's got the instinct, Syl.

I waited years for a guy like The Kid.

I waited all my life.

Think of all the things I promised you, honey,

all the things we see in the windows.

And it won't be long, once I get him movin',

once I start teachin' him what I know.

Honey, the title, think of the title.

You could see it tonight.

He moved like a cat, spit like a tiger.

I wish you'd lost tonight.

- Don't say that. - I mean it.

Well, I don't want to hear it.

I wish he'd made you bleed.

I wish he'd punched you and beat you and smashed you.

Shut up, Syl.

Shut up.

Why do tough guys always tell dames to shut up?

'Cause they talk too much.

How you makin' it, baby, better?

Better.

Crazy, wanna try again?

Like, it's got to wear off soon.

I know.

Just don't push me.

Cool.

Hey, man, you want us to keep jammin'?

Yeah, daddy, you got a little time.

Yeah, I'm hip.

Why'd you pick her up?

Julie?

Well, you see, my pad is right next to hers.

You know, and every day, about 4 p.m.,

I'm in the kit, dreamsville-style, dig?

And this chick wakes me up,

wailin' up a storm to records, dig?

So I make that she's got a crazy sound,

and I figure maybe I could sell it.

Hmm, well, keep trying.

I don't know, man, like, I don't know.

Hey, how 'bout a little service?

What'll it be?

- Bourbon. - Maybe you ought

to just drink beer, Jigger.

Bourbon for me, beer for him.

Jigger, you shouldn't.

I ain't never saw a guy so nervous.

Everything went wrong, everything.

Supposin' he don't show, what will we do then?

It ain't time.

What if we don't?

We'll be picked up shore.

Look, at nine, we'll be on the corner.

It's all worked out.

Now you drink your beer and you stop worrying.

I'll be back.

Hi, Jerry, long time no see.

I was here last night.

Oh yeah, yeah, I, I, I forgot.

How's business?

Fine, fine.

A bit slow perhaps, but fine.

Scotch.

One year old, got it special for you.

No trouble, huh?

No trouble, Jerry.

You know I don't want no trouble.

Good boy, Al.

Well, you finally got a scotch drinker.

Now maybe you'll stop dunning me for that 14 bucks.

For a newspaper guy, you're kind of blind.

He don't pay me.

I pay him.

Why?

'Cause plate glass windows cost 150 bucks apiece,

without the lettering.

That's extra.

Why don't you call the cops, Al?

'Cause a broken arm costs more.

Hey, cutie.

Hey, baby doll, I'm talkin' to you.

Excuse me.

How come you're sittin' all alone?

Got stood up?

No, no--

Well, we can fix that right now.

Don't bug the lady, Pops, she's with me.

I'm gullible.

I believe a lot of things.

But she just couldn't be with you.

He's right, Jerry, only she's not his date.

She's singin' here.

Sir Bop's her agent.

Singer?

She don't look she's singin'.

She's got problems.

Well, who hasn't?

I'd like to hear her sing.

How 'bout it, huh?

I can't.

What do you mean you can't?

I, I just--

She means she don't wanna.

Now you can shove her across the room or leaver her alone.

Take your choice.

Hey, like, man, we got to split, huh?

Hey, man, let's cut out.

All right, let's get out of this toilet.

You sure got a fast turnover of bands in this dump.

Maybe we'll a fast turnover of reporters, too.

Come on, Julie, we'll put you on down at Swingsville.

I don't know.

See you out in the wheels, Julie.

Yeah, Julie, let's split this scene.

Like, these sad drags don't want to be late

for that 25-cent gig, you know.

I don't like that place.

Do I have to go?

Well, like, baby, I can't leave you here alone.

Sure, you can.

I'll look after her.

Oh that's cool.

Yeah, the band's only sittin' relief.

We'll fall back before you can say Dizzy Gillespie.

Later.

What was that?

A creep.

Relax.

Got another root beer, Al?

You bet.

You staring at me?

Yeah.

Do I know you?

No.

Then stop staring.

Big man.

You little guys think you can laugh and get away with it.

But size don't make no difference to me.

He's an old friend, Jerry.

Okay, Al.

I'm in a good mood, celebratin' sorta.

Buy him a drink.

I pay my own way.

You little punks give me a laugh.

You big punks don't give me nothin'.

Have it your own way.

Good scotch, Al, keep it in stock.

Sure thing.

Wish I could make Jerry curdle like that.

So he's celebrating, huh?

Somebody die?

How do I know?

I was making a joke.

I was saying something witty.

So how come I ain't laughin'?

'Cause you're a dull man with no sense of humor

and no finer sensitivities.

Wish I could own one of those plush joints,

the kind where all the drunks are rich drunks,

and you can throw 'em out.

I wouldn't let nobody with a lumber jacket in.

Well, I don't like those plush saloons.

I wouldn't let you in either.

Huh?

Let no newspaper man in,

unless maybe he wrote a story about me.

Then maybe I'd let him free house for, say, two weeks.

Six months.

- A month. - Six months.

Why is it everybody is out to see that I lose money?

On TV, everybody loves the bartender.

They tell 'em their troubles and everything.

Would you care to hear my troubles, Al?

I got troubles of my own.

Hey, Al, give me a drink, will ya?

Anything, scotch, bourbon, rye, anything,

but give me a drink.

You should've seen it, mister.

You wouldn't believe it.

I'm walkin' down the street,

thinking maybe I'll make a movie

or shoot a game of pool or something, see,

and then I'm walkin' in front of this grocery store.

Then I hear these two shots.

It didn't sound like no car backfiring either.

It sounded like shots, see.

And then these two punks run out.

They almost knocked me over.

And then they rush off, see,

and for a minute, I'm just standin' there.

I'm dumbfounded, see, actually dumbfounded.

And then I rush in.

And that's when I see these two old people.

This old man and his wife are layin' on the floor, dead.

Their whole face was shot away.

It's the most awful thing I ever saw.

Thanks, Al.

Then this cop comes in, see.

He starts asking me a million questions.

Then there's a million cops swarming all over the place,

looking for the two punks that broke--

How'd you like to hear that sound again?

Get on that door.

There a back way to this joint?

No, I mean, yeah, yeah,

through that door.

Well, don't anybody move toward that door.

Everybody just sit quiet.

You want the dough?

It's in the register.

There's plenty of time for that.

Now there'll be a car along in 15 minutes.

Don't nobody make a false move,

and nobody'll get hurt.

I make myself clear?

What are you laughing at?

He ain't laughing at nothing.

I mean, I told him a joke.

Well, I like a good joke.

You tell me.

What's the joke?

You.

If he could talk,

he'd tell you I ain't got no sense of humor.

I don't see it, Jigger.

I don't see the car.

It ain't time yet.

Now get away from there.

Lock that door.

Who was he, Al?

Just a guy.

Nobody's just a guy.

He must've been somebody.

Pete something, that's all I know.

Hey, reporter, you gonna write his obituary?

Right now, I'm too busy composing my own.

Al, you'd be surprised

what a great guy I'm turning out to be.

Well, you can join him, reporter.

You just say the word.

Does Pete somethin' make you nervous, punk?

Why should he?

Why do you talk to him, Jigger?

'Cause I wanna see how a big a mouth he's got

before I shut it up for good.

Funny how small a big guy looks when he's dead.

Do we, do we have to leave him lay there, Jigger?

You come away from that door.

What'd you give him, Al, scotch or bourbon?

I can't remember.

He look like a scotch drinker to you, Jigger?

He looks dead, you understand, just dead.

Please, Jigger, please!

Okay, okay.

Only for you, you understand,

because he don't bother me one bit.

Now get out of here!

I said drag him in back!

Make believe it's a sack of flour, Angie.

Shut your eyes and make believe you're heavin' it

on the back of a truck.

What do you say, Kid?

Make like it's one of those dreams you're always havin',

your opponents on a canvas.

I said get him out of here!

And you shut up.

You open your big mouth again,

I'll lay your right next to him.

Not unless I start running.

Jigger, please!

You and you,

you drag him out of here.

Why me?

Because I said you!

Now why do I have to say everything 10 times, why?

Come on, he won't bite.

He's dead.

You're dead, too, Jigger.

Always shootin', all of a sudden,

you're always shootin'.

You think I should let him run out hollerin'?

You think I should've let him bring the cops?

You should've just hit him!

I hit him!

Now you bring that bottle of bourbon over here.

And you get back on the door.

Sure, Jigger.

Where do you think you're going?

We're late for an appointment.

Well, you move like that again,

and you might never show up.

Keep out of this, understand?

- Sure, Marty. - I got an investment.

Don't even move, honey, please.

You think I'm crazy?

I don't know.

Maybe it's me who's crazy.

What's wrong, baby?

You sorry you didn't go to the swing house?

Well, don't be.

It's a dump.

- You and your big ideas. - Shut up.

Who you tellin' to shut up?

You!

First, a little shrimp tells you off,

and, and him, sits ya down.

Shh.

Well, I mean, what kind of a man are you?

I should've played poker with the guys.

They told me you were no good.

Yeah, well, you got a pretty crummy bunch of friends.

- Yeah? - Yeah, big-shot truck driver,

all the time with the barbells,

with the big, fat, flabby muscles.

Two drinks, whisky for me, beer for her.

That'll teach ya to open your big, fat mouth.

What, I'm just, I'm just kiddin'.

Yeah, you won't be happy till you get me killed.

Hmm.

Jigger, the street's lousy with cops.

You sure?

They're tryin' every door, goin' in every building.

Lock the door.

Mickey'll never show.

What are we gonna do?

Quarters.

Huh?

You, quarters!

Give 'em to him.

Now we're gonna make this joint sound

like business as usual.

My friend is gonna put some quarters in the machine,

and you're gonna sing to him.

And don't you tell me you can't.

What if this don't work?

Then we'll each grab one of these dames.

We'll stick a gun in their ribs and walk out of here

like they're our dates, you understand?

Now start.

♪ Her man is gone, doo-doo

♪ Her man is gone

♪ I guess I won't hang around here anymore ♪

♪ Oh no, what for

Loud!

♪ My man is gone

♪ Her man is gone, doo-doo

Can I have that one, Jigger?

Sure, sure.

Oh boy, Mabel, you get 'em all, don't ya, kid?

You really think these big men are gonna let you

take their women away from them?

You think they got a choice?

Tell 'em, Jigger, tell 'em.

I think they got a choice.

Well, I'd like to see 'em start arguing.

I'd sure like to see that.

Hey, muscles, he's gonna take yours.

♪ The things we used to do

How 'bout it, fighter?

The little one can't be more than a middleweight.

♪ Together seem different

No argument.

Well, I'd sure like to see it.

I'd sure like to see that.

You know what I'm gonna see?

Talkin', always talkin'.

I'm gonna see you burn.

One sound and he's dead.

You stop singin', and you're dead, too.

♪ And now there's no dawn

Al?

Did you lock the door, Al?

Answer him.

- What'll I say? - Just make it good.

That you, Hogan.

Anything wrong?

Broke some glasses, glass all over the floor.

Have it cleaned up in five minutes.

Well, okay, see you in an hour.

He's walkin' off, Jigger.

♪ My man is gone

♪ Her man is gone

That's great, little girl.

Now you just keep that up, and we'll all be okay.

♪ Her man is gone

Still scared, huh?

Worse.

Yeah, but not of yourself anymore.

That was your big problem.

These jerks did you a favor.

Some other time, Shorty.

You know, cops are stupid.

I must've met a thousand cops,

and every one of them is stupid.

Tangling with punks like you for the kind

of money they draw, maybe they are.

He twists everything, Jigger.

Everything, he twists!

Now listen, inside,

I know you two are in there.

Come out with your hands up.

Come out one at a time.

We'll give you two minutes.

You must've got the only smart cop in town.

What do we do, Jigger?

Think, you said you'd do the thinkin' for both of us.

Now, think!

Put a lock on that back door.

Yeah.

Hey, reporter, you think the cops'll open up?

- They might. - They might.

Yeah, well, people are gonna get hurt then.

Somebody's got to take that gun away from you.

Shorty, you got a real sense of humor.

Hey, Joey, you missed somethin', come here.

Tell him, Shorty.

No, Joey'll give his up, because he's a-scared of pain.

He's got that look.

But Jigger, no, somebody's got to take his away from him.

Yeah, well, I'd like to see anybody try.

You just step up and get your head blown off.

Me too, huh, Jigger?

I ain't scared, no matter what he says.

Okay, okay, let's see one

of you big men start acting like a big man.

I don't want anymore talking,

'cause I got some heavy drinkin' to do.

I love to watch big guys when the squeeze is on.

Think, Jigger, think!

Now there's an officer out here every five feet.

You come out shooting, and we'll nail you.

So wise up.

I can see 'em, Jigger, I can see 'em.

Get away from that door.

Now put your hands up high

and walk out slow, one at a time.

They must think I'm crazy.

They can always come in and get you.

I'll pile 'em up at the door.

Did you ever hear of tear gas, punk?

I've heard of it.

You shut up and watch yourself.

Ever taste it, reporter?

Never had the pleasure.

They tell me it's like an acid.

Gets into your lungs and burns and burns.

Make him shut up, Jigger.

Hey, cop, can you hear me?

I hear you.

Now there's a lot of people in here.

You want me to roll 'em out to you one at a time.

Smart, Jigger, smart.

And if you use tear gas, I'll kill 'em, you hear?

I'll kill 'em!

He's crazy, Lester, he's crazy.

Lester?

Your name really Lester?

So what?

His name's Lester.

It figures.

Hey, why don't you pass out some drinks?

You got company.

Sure, sure.

Who cares if I make a living?

Lester, huh?

What a name.

I don't think it's so funny.

Sit down, Kid, think of the title, Kid.

Please, Les, please.

I wouldn't tangle with him, Jigger.

He's got the killer instinct.

So have I.

Sit down quiet, Lester.

Some killer instinct.

Hey, Lester, you better go in business with her brother.

We can't stay here forever, Jigger.

For a while, till they try a rush.

Now I wasn't kiddin'.

I'm gonna knock off as many of you as I can.

And you first.

Even before the ladies?

Shut up.

And then you, 'cause I don't like your face.

Why me?

'Cause I don't like your face!

It's all your fault, you and your big mouth.

You better buy some new barbells, Angie.

Get some with guts in 'em next time.

That ain't no water pistol he's wavin' around.

He's just nuts enough to shoot somebody in cold blood.

All you have to do is walk over

and take it away from him.

You talk too much.

Yeah!

Hey, how come you stopped singin'?

They know you're here.

You don't need me anymore.

Well, sing anyway, it's good for my nerves.

What's left of 'em.

That's a big mouth in a little head.

Hey, reporter, you want to be a hero?

No, thanks.

My editor might give me a bonus for writing this story.

I need the money.

Maybe then you'll pay me the 14 bucks you owe me.

I'll be happy to.

Only you see, Al, I don't give us more

than eight to five to see tomorrow.

What about you?

Keep me out of this.

Why?

You got Al scared.

He pays off, because he's scared.

I do that, Al?

Tell him he's got the wrong guy.

He's got the right guy.

Why, you punk, you just wait!

You show your face in here again,

and I'll break your head for ya.

You know who you're talking to, you know?

I know.

You're a yellow punk.

You had any guts, you would've done something,

instead of crawling.

I pay you for protection, so go ahead and protect.

Al, you out of your head?

I got trouble, Jerry.

I pay you 50 a week to keep me out of trouble.

Here's your chance to pay off.

Maybe you come first, you,

'cause I don't like shakedown guys.

I'm gonna turn you in.

I'm through payin' off.

Looks like we've run out of heroes.

Count out all the musclemen and the brains.

All right, we'll use the tear gas.

Break 'em out.

He talks too much.

Look, fella, let's talk this over.

I got a lot of connections.

I could use a smart boy like you.

Shut up.

But a smart fella like you--

I said shut up!

Some smart fella.

Knocks off a grocer and gets half the cops

in New York down on his neck.

Jigger, I don't like big guys.

You said that.

And I'm gonna take that gun away from you.

You nuts?

And you're gonna give it to me,

'cause you've been thinkin' it.

You've been thinkin' about pleading insanity, haven't you?

I haven't been thinking about anything!

I'm gonna shoot my way out of here.

Get back to the bar.

He'll shoot.

He hasn't got the guts, have ya, Jigger?

Oh, I got the guts.

I say you got nothin'.

I say you're bluffin', Jigger.

You're yellow! - You shut up.

Tell him to shut up, Jigger!

He scares me!

I already told him!

No guts!

- You crazy? - Gimme that gun, Jigger.

Gimme that gun before I nail you to the wall.

I oughta kill you.

I oughta-- You wouldn't kill me.

- I oughta-- - You wouldn't kill me!

Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot, no!

It's better, Jigger.

I know it is, Jigger.

We got a chance this way.

Maybe they won't burn us.

Sometimes they don't.

Get out of here.

They'll shoot.

Those cops will shoot.

You tell 'em.

You're a swell little guy.

You tell 'em.

Tell 'em, Al.

Comin' out, unarmed, don't shoot!

No guns.

No guns!

No guns!

No guns! - All right, take 'em, boys.

Come on, Angie, let's go.

Yeah.

You know, I thought you'd really be scared,

but you weren't.

You really weren't.

All he had to do was lay a finger on you, Mabel.

♪ Oh, oh, oh, yeah

♪ You were great

Well, you better get some sleep, Kid.

You still don't know, do you, Marty?

All I now is you're gonna get me the title.

I was scared, Marty,

scared like I am when I'm in the ring.

You've got the instinct, Kid.

Don't let a thing like this throw you.

Come on, Syl.

Let's go see your brother.

Everything okay, Al?

Take this one, too, extortion.

I'll testify.

Come on, we've been waiting for you.

Man, you ought to dig all that action out there.

There's fuzz all over the place.

Hey, chickie, I conned the cats

into blowing another number for you.

Did you get rid of the shivers yet?

I got rid of them.

Solid, well, now get up there on that bandstand

and start wailin', and maybe we can send you

to old loot-lovin' Al yet.

If Julie wants a job, she's got one.

I just saved 50 bucks a week.

Crazy, did you dig that?

But she's turning it down.

How's that, dad?

She's not gonna sing.

Is he layin' a level story on me?

Well, straighten me.

Ask my friend.

She doesn't want to sing,

outside of her home, that is.

It was you and your phony line of bull

that made her want to try, in the first place.

Well, she proved she could do it, and she's happy.

So why don't you just drive her home?

Hold on, what was that jazz about my phony line of bull?

Oh come on, you heard me.

You know, a man your age has got no natural reason

for talking and acting like a high school kid.

You pretend to be a jazz expert.

You're just a phony bag of wind.

Did you get it that time?

What do I owe you, Al?

Nothin'.

Nothin' from now on.

How 'bout the best for the road?

No, thanks.

I think I'll take in a movie.

They're playing that picture again around Second Avenue.

You'll take care of this, huh?

Sure.

I'll see ya, Al.

See ya.

Shorty.

I think I'd kinda like to see a movie, too.

Sure, come on.

Think he'd stick around for a few bows.

What's so important about a movie?

This is a special movie.

He's seen it about 20 times.

It's an old picture called "King Kong."

Oh, I saw it, long time ago.

I don't think there's anything special.

Remember the size of that beast?

He was big, about 50 feet high.

Remember the size of the guy that knocked him over?
