Interstate information.

Listen, I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't?

Look Banty, don't play games with me.

I know all the figures, all the facts.

A guy like you getting mixed up in this dirty business?

Who am I talking to?

Who is this?

Nevermind who this is.

Now you listen to me,

I'll call you again tomorrow, in the morning.

Early, be home.

I'll tell ya how I want the money and where.

Larry, you startled me,

Hiya, baby.

Mm, you feel so soft and warm, baby,

Larry, stop it, I'm tired.

Come on, baby, give.

Mm.

You win.

You big clown.

You're so strong, Larry.

I'll go the barber's

and get back before Crystal gets up.

A little walk will do me good.

Why should the boss get all the gravy?

He sits on his ass and gives orders.

I take all the risks,

That old bastard deserves a good screwing

and I'm the guy that's gonna give it to him,

They think Nick has it, so I'm clean.

Hello?

Mr. Banty.

When is this going to stop?

Who the hell is this?

This is your friend.

The fellow that wants to make you forget

that interstate deal.

That is, after we make our deal.

I suggest you forget this telephone number,

If you call me again I'm going to the police,

Now now, that wouldn't be very friendly, or very wise.

What is it you want?

I told you what I want,

but I'm a nice guy and I'll tell you again.

This is what I want.

I want $100,000 in small bills and they better be unmarked.

I'll give ya two days to get the money,

Now listen closely because I won't tell you again.

This is what I want ya to do.

Now get this straight.

Crystal,

Larry, where were you?

I went to the barbers.

Oh, I missed you.

Say, how bout some coffee?

I'm coming right out.

Okay.

Come and get it.

Mm, that coffee smells good,

What did the barber do to your hair?

The gray in my hair?

Took it out.

You look so,

Not bad for a guy pushing 40, huh?

Crystal, listen baby, I've gotta run,

Where to now, Larry?

I've got an important meeting with-

Oh, Larry, when is this going to stop?

Soon, soon baby.

I want to be your wife, not your mistress.

You're a successful advertising executive.

Beautiful, loads of dough.

I'm nothing but trouble, baby.

Nothing but trouble,

I love you, Larry.

This is the last deal.

It's a big one, baby.

I've heard that before.

And I'll deck you out in diamonds.

- I'll give you... - Just give me love, Larry,

Just love me.

I do, baby.

I do,

Hey, I have to change and go.

Do me a favor, baby.

Put this away in a safe place,

I'll pick it up in a few days.

All those telephone numbers.

Blondes or brunettes?

I said put it away.

You do as I tell you, understand?

You're late.

I don't like to be kept waiting.

Traffic was heavy, very heavy.

Yeah, well, did you get it?

I turned his place upside down, nothing.

You sure about that?

Now we know Nick has it.

And you searched his room and didn't find it?

Nothing.

I wanna know every move that son of a bitch makes.

Every move!

I want a tight tail on him.

Real tight!

I'll see to it.

Take care of him if you have to,

but get it, understand?

Don't show here again without it,

Do I make myself clear, huh?

Make sure of that!

No more excuses, just get it,

Say, how bout a drink, boys?

Hey, what's the matter, Tony, Larry?

You look real nervous.

Something's bothering you maybe, huh?

Hey, this is the real stuff, the best in town.

But of course nothing's too good for my boys,

Not for my boys.

They treat me right, I treat them right.

Tony,

you're a good boy.

Larry,

a little too smart, maybe,

Salud,

Here's to the punk who thinks he can outsmart me!

Crystal,

Hi, father,

Some coffee?

No, thank you.

I only have a few minutes,

but I did want to stop by and see you.

I'm glad you did, I want to talk to you,

What's troubling you, Crys?

Is it your young man?

No.

Why haven't I met him?

What's all the mystery about?

Mystery?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Where does he come from?

What does he do for a living?

I love him.

I have some layouts I want to finish today, I must go.

Goodbye, father.

Where you going, Nicky boy?

All right, where is it?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Come on, where is it?

Where'd you stash it?

Talk, I tell ya!

I don't have it, fellas.

I swear, I don't have it.

It was in the dresser drawer,

Larry,

Good show,

Come on, let's go.

Hello, who is it?

Tony here,

Well, did you see Nick?

Uh-huh,

He doesn't have it.

Did you take care of him?

Yeah, we took care of him.

What did you find out?

Did Nick talk?

Yeah, looks like Larry's the guy we want.

Larry, huh?

That bastard,

You know what to do, Tony.

Do it fast,

You'll hear from me.

That son of a bitch.

You can't trust anyone,

I gotta talk low, I'm not alone.

Well where the hell were you?

I been trying to get you all morning.

Eh, dames again, always dames,

Hey listen, meet me at Fifth and Amsterdam.

What do you mean, why?

We gotta make a hit.

Larry,

Yeah, it's Larry.

Hello?

Hiya, baby.

Oh Larry, I'm so glad you called.

How would you like

to spend your honeymoon in Hawaii?

Honeymoon?

We can get married in Hawaii in two days,

What do you say, baby?

Oh Larry, I'm so excited.

I'm so happy.

Oh, wait a second, there's someone at the door,

Who's there?

Open up.

What's the matter, boys?

Okay Larry, let's have it.

I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Yeah, yeah, sure,

Nick talked,

That lying son of a bitch.

You're making a mistake.

You're making a mistake, boys.

Sorry, Larry, boss's orders.

He had it coming to him.

Ah.

That was a good shot there, Captain Hook,

That was a damn good hit for a guy with one eye,

Captain Hook.

Tony, you call me Captain Hook once more

and I'll blow your brains out.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I just, couldn't help it, you know?

Put that away.

Listen, here's a ticket to Vegas and some dough.

You stay outta town until heat cools off, huh?

Yeah.

Terrific,

Go to the Tease Hotel in Vegas.

I'll be at Belmap Hotel in Miami if you need me,

And lay low.

And stay away from those burlesque dames, huh.

Keep out of those burlesque houses.

Let's go.

Larry?

Larry?

Larry!

Hi honey, I've been waiting for ya.

Yeah.

Where ya been?

You been gone an awful long time.

Where ya going?

I gotta go outta town.

Well give me a few minutes, I'll pack.

Take me with you.

You stay here, I gotta go by myself.

I don't want to stay here by myself.

I've been waiting for ya all night,

Will ya get your hands off me?

Oh, please honey, don't leave me here by myself.

Look, will you just leave me alone?

Oh Tony, please.

Can't you see I'm packing and I gotta get outta here?

Will ya leave me alone?

You have a few minutes before you go,

Look, you got your booze and you got your friends

and I'll give you a little bit of money

and you can have a good time.

I gotta get outta here, - That isn't enough,

Oh it's not enough.

What else you want?

I want you.

Tony, make love to me.

Go to the Tease Hotel in Vegas, Vegas, Vegas.

Keep outta those burlesque houses,

burlesque houses, burlesque houses.

I'll be at the hotel in Miami, Miami, Miami.

Tony, Tony, Tony.

That was a damn good hit for a guy with one eye,

I wonder, can I get away with it?

I am a pretty good dancer.

I should be able to get a job.

I must be out of my mind

to think of doing anything like this, but I must.

Oh, what am I thinking?

I can't do it, I can't do it.

I will do it!

What am I doing?

I must be mad.

Desk clerk here, what can I do for you?

I was wondering if a friend of mine was stopping here,

Mr. Hook.

Just a minute, I'll see.

I'm sorry, miss, but your friend isn't registered here.

Perhaps he has a reservation,

No ma'am, I checked the reservations,

Thank you.

He said the Tease Hotel in Vegas.

He must be here,

Maybe the room clerk didn't check very carefully.

I'll try again,

I must find him,

Desk clerk.

I'm sorry to trouble you,

but I was wondering if my friend checked in yet.

Mr. Hook, he,

Mr. Hook has not checked in.

Oh, thank you.

What's this?

Burlesque strippers wanted.

Apply, Vickie Stein.

I'm going to answer that ad,

Yeah?

Um, uh, pardon me,

I see you're looking for strippers.

How much experience you got?

Uh, well I,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

You ain't got no experience, can't use ya.

Yeah.

You got the job.

Five minutes to show time,

What am I doing?

I must be mad.

You're on in three minutes.

Take it off!

Come in.

I was told that you wanted to see me right away.

Yeah, I do.

That's a great act you got there,

Thank you.

How bout a bite to eat after the show tonight, beautiful?

Oh, I, I'm sorry,

but I have to go and get dressed for the next number.

Hey, wait a minute, now take it easy.

Where you running to, huh?

I wanna talk to ya.

Hey look, I wanna talk to ya.

Leave me alone, stop it.

Hey, what's the matter with ya?

You got a great act,

Aw, come on, now,

You gotta be nice to me.

I can do a lot for ya, beautiful, an awful lot.

Come on now, be reasonable.

Ya gotta know the right people in this business.

Aw, sweetheart.

And I'm the right people.

Okay, finish this show and you're fired.

Well, I guess this is it.

I'll never find Captain Hook now.

Where do I go from here?

Maybe I should have played along with him.

Captain Hook.

That's him, I know it.

That's him, Captain Hook.

Someone wants to see you at table 10.

And I want to see him.

How bout a drink, babe?

Your room or mine?

Let's make it your room.

Say, you know Tony, don't you?

Tony Barler?

That's right, Tony Barler,

Sure, he's my buddy.

We're in business together,

He's a friend of mine, too.

Yeah, tough guy.

I'm supposed to meet Tony in Miami in a few days

but I can't remember the name of the hotel

he told me he would be staying in.

He'll be terribly angry if I don't show up,

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, but he's in Miami at the Delmar Hotel.

Don't tell anyone.

How bout a drink?

Sure,

Well, I'll get it.

Here's your drink, honey.

Oh, I'll take it,

I had too much.

Can't use my arms,

Front desk.

Do you have a Tony Barler registered here?

One minute, I'll see.

Yes, Mr. Barler's registered here.

May I speak with Mr. Barler?

There's a note in his box,

Mr. Barler just left for the swimming pool.

Oh, I see.

Thank you.

That must be Tony Barler.

Pardon me, do you have the time?

No, I haven't,

Nice hotel, isn't it?

Yes, very,

Are you on vacation?

Yeah.

Honey, I'm glad you're out of the Dogs.

Uh yeah, I always carry.

Thank you.

Let's head back to the hotel.

Whatever you say, Tony.

Yeah, we'll make it a shorter night,

I was right, he is Tony Barler.

Who's the broad, Tony, a friend of yours?

I don't know her.

I never saw her before.

Oh come on, cut that out, eh?

We're here.

Hey uh.

- That's enough. - Hey, where you goin'?

I'm going back to the hotel,

Hey, wait.

Can't help every place around here, for Christ sake.

Where you going?

I'm leaving,

Where you going?

I'm finished,

Look, I told ya I didn't know the girl, huh.

Keep your hands off me,

I didn't know the girl, Eve.

That's what you said the last time,

You said that about all the girls.

What girls, what girls?

Who have I ever seen?

The redhead in the restaurant last night.

That broad by the pool this morning.

Eve, I tell ya, I didn't know the girl at the pool,

What girl at the pool?

And I didn't know the girl tonight at the bar either.

What are you getting so upset about?

What a phony you turned out to be.

Eve, I got a problem, you know all about it.

You expect me to believe that,

Eve, I did not know that girl tonight.

I never saw her before in my life, huh.

Let me out of here,

- No, you're gonna stay. - I'm finished,

You're not going anywhere,

I'm not gonna stay.

God.

Eve!

I must be out of my mind

to think of doing anything like this.

Ugh,

Where ya going?

Where ya going?

I did not know that girl tonight.

I never saw her before in my life.

What are you getting so upset about?

Eve,

come on,

I know what happened to Larry,

You do?

I do.

Hello.

Hey, it's uh,

must be getting around eight o'clock

and I got a plane to catch in an hour.

Sorry.

Must you go now?

I can show you a good time.

Not bad for a guy pushing 40, huh?

Not bad for a guy pushing 40, huh?

Not bad for a guy pushing 40.

Let's have a drink.

Yeah, sure, why not?

Salud,

Ah, boy that's good.

Woo!

Oh.

Must have been one too many, there.

Hello, father.

Crys, where were you?

I was so worried about you.

I'm sorry, I should have phoned.

Is anything the matter?

I must go to the police.

Larry left a book and I think whatever was in that book

was the reason he was killed.

A book?

And you have this book?

Yes,

Look Crys, why don't you go home

and get a good night's sleep?

I'll pick you up in the morning

and we'll go to see the police together,

Thanks, father,

I knew I could count on you.

Come on, dear.

Father, what are you doing?

Where's the book, Crystal?

I want that book.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Put the phone down, Crystal.

I'm too old to spend the rest of my life behind bars.

You wouldn't shoot me, father.
