I WILL, I WILL. AFTER WORK THIS EVENING.

TAKE THE DAY IF YOU HAVE TO.

OH.

BY THE WAY, YOU DON'T FEEL IT'S ANYTHING PERSONAL, DO YOU?

OH, GOD, NO, MR. GARGAN. NO.

WHY ARE WE IN THIS WAR?

WHY IS CHRISTIAN AMERICA FIGHTING CHRISTIAN GERMANY?

HOW DO I DARE RAISE THIS QUESTION?

I DARE BECAUSE I OBEY THE PRINCIPLES OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

SO AS ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION APPROACHES,

CONTROVERSIAL ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST FATHER CHARLES CRIGHTON...

IS SERIOUSLY INVOLVED IN NATIONAL POLITICS.

HIS VOLATILE SPEECHES OVER THE RADIO...

CONTINUE TO ATTRACT THE LARGEST AUDIENCES.

AND HIS FOLLOWING, NUMBERING 12 MILLION TODAY,

IS EXPECTED TO GROW EVEN FURTHER...

YOU GOT GLASSES? I JUST PICKED THEM UP.

OH.

WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THEM.

WHAT, MOTHER? WHAT?

YOU LOOK JEWISH. COULDN'T YOU GET THE RIMLESS KIND?

I... I TRIED THOSE TOO.

THEY ALL DO THE SAME THING TO ME.

THESE ARE BETTER THAN ANY ON THAT ACCOUNT.

OH, WELL. I DON'T SUPPOSE ANYONE WILL NOTICE.

DON'T SUPPOSE.

HOW'S MR. GARGAN? HE'S JUST FINE. MR. LORRING IS IN FOR A WEEK OR SO.

- LORRING? - COMPANY VICE PRESIDENT.

HE'S HERE FOR THE ANNUAL REVIEW OF PERSONNEL.

GOOD MORNING, MR. FINKELSTEIN. HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

GOOD MORNING, MR. LORRING. GOOD MORNING, GIRLS.

GOOD MORNING, MR. LORRING.

SEND IN MISS HART, PLEASE. YES, MR. NEWMAN.

PSST.

GERTRUDE HART. HELLO.

HELLO.

SIT DOWN, MISS HART.

I AM. THANK YOU.

UM... UM...

HOW LONG WERE YOU WITH THE SPANCHER COMPANY?

UH, WELL, I WORKED THERE ABOUT THREE YEARS.

MM-HMM. MM-HMM. AND HOW LONG WERE YOU THERE?

THREE YEARS. I...

OH. I'M SORRY. I...

AS YOU, UM... I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

DO YOU HAVE, UH, UH... HAVE YOU EVER USED AN ELECTRIC TYPEWRITER?

ONCE IN A WHILE. I HAD A CHANCE TO USE ONE. WE ONLY HAD ONE IN THE OFFICE.

IT WASN'T BIG LIKE THIS PLACE.

JOHN, I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE A WORD WITH THAT NEWMAN.

MM-HMM. YES.

I ASSUMED YOU HAD THAT. UH, NO, I UNDERSTAND.

I CAN RUN ONE PERFECT WITH ONE DAY'S PRACTICE.

IT'S EASY TO LEARN HOW TO RUN THEM IF YOU'RE AS GOOD A TYPIST AS ME.

WE PREFER PEOPLE WHO...

I WAS BORN EPISCOPALIAN, MR. NEWMAN, IF THAT MEANS ANYTHING.

BUT YOU ARE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, RIGHT?

I'M TOO MUCH OF A LADY TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE.

EVERY PLACE I GO, IT'S THE SAME STUPIDITY.

I'VE HAD SECRETARIAL JOBS WHERE I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO TYPE.

YOU KNOW, I'VE HAD JOBS.

WHAT'S THE USE?

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY OUGHT TO DO TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU? THEY OUGHT TO HANG YOUSE.

WAIT. MISS HART?

COULD YOU SEND IN THE NEXT APPLICANT, PLEASE?

MISS BLANCHE BOLLAND. YES, MR. NEWMAN.

GOOD NIGHT. GOOD NIGHT.

SEE YOU MONDAY. HAVE A NICE WEEKEND.

LAWRENCE.

UH, MR. LORRING HAS BEEN LAYING OUT A BIT OF REORGANIZATION.

I WON'T GO INTO DETAILS RIGHT NOW, BUT...

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE YOUR DESK INTO HOGAN'S OFFICE.

HOGAN'S OFFICE? MR. LORRING THINKS THE BEST THING WOULD BE...

FOR YOU AND HOGAN TO SORT OF SHIFT POSITIONS.

JOBS? WELL, YES, SHIFT JOBS. EXCHANGE.

NOW, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW THAT HOGAN'S NOT MAKING YOUR SALARY,

BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO CUT YOU.

YOU'LL KEEP MAKING EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING

AT PRESENT. IS THERE SOMETHING I'VE DONE...

OH, NO, NO, IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT.

BUT HOGAN HASN'T BEEN HERE BUT FIVE YEARS, MR. GARGAN.

I'VE BEEN HERE OVER 20 YEARS. I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL, LAWRENCE.

I WOULDN'T BE HAPPY IN HIS POSITION. HOGAN DOES IMPORTANT WORK.

BUT WHY? MR. GARGAN, HAVEN'T I DONE MY JOB? I GOT MY GLASSES.

I JUST HIRED A FINE GIRL. MR. LORRING AND I JUST FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER...

FOR EVERYBODY CONCERNED IF YOU WERE TO WORK IN MR. HOGAN'S OFFICE.

NOW, THERE'S NO RUSH, BUT, UH, TRY TO HAVE

YOUR THINGS MOVED BY THE FIRST OF THE MONTH.

MR. GARGAN, I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HARM I'D BE DOING IN MY OFFICE.

FRANKLY, I HAVE TO SAY THAT I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING...

UNTIL MR. LORRING DREW MY ATTENTION TO IT, BUT I CAN SEE HIS POINT.

WE DON'T THINK YOU MAKE THE RIGHT IMPRESSION...

ON PEOPLE WHO MIGHT COME INTO THE OUTER OFFICE FOR THE FIRST TIME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU, FELLA.

MR. GARGAN, I DON'T THINK I CAN ACCEPT THIS EXCHANGE.

IT'S NOT AS IF YOU DON'T KNOW MY BACKGROUND.

MR. LORRING DOESN'T KNOW BUT WHAT HE SEES.

AND MR. LORRING HAS THE RIGHT TO HIS OWN IDEAS, DOESN'T HE?

I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE THEN.

I'M NOT SAYING LEAVE. I'M SAYING SHIFT JOBS.

SLEEP ON IT. THERE'S NOTHING TO SLEEP ON. I'LL HAVE TO SAY GOOD-BYE.

- THINK IT OVER. - THERE IS NOTHING TO THINK OVER!

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE, MR. GARGAN!

DINNER'S IN THE OVEN, MA'AM, AND I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.

HELLO, DEAR. HANG YOUR JACKET UP AND COME IN AND SIT DOWN FOR A MINUTE.

I'LL COME DOWN AFTER I'VE SHOWERED. GOOD NIGHT NOW.

GOOD NIGHT.

♪♪

YOU DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING THE OTHER NIGHT, DID YOU, DEAR? HEAR ANYTHING WHEN?

THE OTHER NIGHT. NO. WHY?

AHA. I THOUGHT NOT.

I TOLD THE POLICE YOU'D HAVE SAID SOMETHING IF YOU HAD. WHAT POLICE?

A POLICEMAN CAME BY THIS MORNING...

PLAINCLOTHES DETECTIVE MAKING INQUIRIES ALONG THE BLOCK.

INQUIRIES ABOUT WHAT?

SOMEONE IN THE HOSPITAL. A WOMAN.

SHE WAS BADLY BEATEN. SHE'S IN CRITICAL CONDITION.

AND HE SAID THAT SHE MAY HAVE BEEN RAPED.

WHY WAS HE ASKING HERE?

WELL, APPARENTLY SHE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A NEWSSTAND ON THE CORNER.

YOU KNOW THE WAY I SLEEP. I TOLD THEM I HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING,

AND NOR HAD YOU OR YOU'D HAVE TOLD ME IF YOU HAD, I TOLD 'EM.

OF COURSE.

DID HE ASK ANYTHING ELSE? NO.

EXCEPT... EXCEPT THAT SHE WAS FOUND LYING IN THE STREET OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL.

SHE SLIPPED INTO A COMA, AND NOW SHE'S CRITICAL, THE POOR THING.

A PUERTO RICAN I THINK HE SAID SHE WAS.

THOUGH I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT A PUERTO RICAN WOULD BE DOING IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

NO. I WONDER.

HE SAID SHE HAD NO IDENTIFICATION.

♪♪

OH, LAWRENCE.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATER THE GRASS BEFORE DINNER.

OTHERWISE IT'S GONNA BURN UP SURE.

GET THAT WATER GOING. JUST GETTIN' TO IT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?

JESUS!

SUNDAY PAPER! BUY AMERICAN, MISTER.

JUST A MINUTE.

WHAT'S GOING ON, FRED?

JUST MAKING SURE BILLY HERE GETS HIS RIGHTS. THAT'S ALL.

MONEYBAGS OVER THERE WAS TRYING TO PUSH HIM OFF THE BLOCK.

IS THAT SO? IMAGINE THE NERVE OF THAT KIKE.

PAPER, MISTER?

SURE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY HAVE TO MAKE 'EM SO THICK.

HEARD YOUR DOGS LAST NIGHT. ANYTHING WRONG?

MUST'VE BEEN THE MOON.

THERE WAS A FULL MOON LAST NIGHT. DID YOU NOTICE THAT, CARLSON?

YEAH. THEY REALLY BARK AT THE MOON, EH?

SURE. YOU NEVER HEARD OF THAT?

NO, I NEVER DID. IS THAT A SCIENTIFIC FACT? IT'S A FACT.

I READ ABOUT THIS SCIENTIST WHO SAID WE'D BE TRAVELING...

TO THE MOON IN ROCKET SHIPS AFTER THE WAR. THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

ANYBODY WHO TRIES THAT WOULD BE SMASHED TO PIECES.

I BETTER GET HOME. MY MOTHER'S WAITING FOR HER PAPER.

THANKS, MISTER.

SEE YA!

GRANDMA, MOM'S ON THE TELEPHONE.

YOU OUGHTA BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

ASHAMED, I SAY!

WAS THAT MRS. DEWITT SHOUTING?

YES. HER GRANDDAUGHTER'S OVER FOR THE DAY. UP TO SOME MISCHIEF, I SUPPOSE.

THIS ISN'T THE CITIZEN.

I DIDN'T GET YOU THE CITIZEN. FINKELSTEIN WAS SOLD OUT.

DIDN'T HE SAVE ONE FOR YOU? YOU KNOW THAT I PREFER THE CITIZEN ON SUNDAYS.

THE INVASION'S ON.

SO I SEE.

GOT YOURSELF SOME NEW SPECS, EH?

I CAN SEE A MILE AWAY. IT'S 'CAUSE... 'CAUSE I EAT VEGETABLES.

THAT'S WHY DOGS EAT GRASS WHEN THEY START TO LOSE THEIR SIGHT.

I THOUGHT THEY ATE GRASS FOR CONSTIPATION.

CONSTIPATION LEADS TO BAD SIGHT.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. SURE. NEWMAN.

CAN YOU READ THE SIGN ON THAT TRUCK DOWN THERE?

"ORCHARD STREET, MOVING AND STORAGE. 629 ORCHARD STREET."

ORCHARD STREET. THAT'S THE LOWER EAST SIDE.

THAT'S THE ELEMENT THAT HE'S BRINGING IN DOWN HERE.

CARLSON BET ME THIS MORNING YOU'D BUY FROM HIM. FROM FINKELSTEIN?

I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T. WE'RE GONNA HAVE BILLY ON THAT CORNER EVERY SUNDAY FROM NOW ON.

SWELL.

YOU WERE IN THE ARMY, WEREN'T YOU? YEAH.

23rd INFANTRY. THAT'S SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT.

PETEY TOLD ME THAT YOU GOT YOURSELF A FRITZ ONCE. IS THAT TRUE?

YEAH. YEAH, I GOT A FRITZ.

HOW WAS IT? HOW'D YOU GET HIM?

DID YOU GO UP TO HIM AFTERWARDS AND SEE WHERE YOU GOT HIM?

WAS IT ONE SHOT? IT'S SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE TO THINK ABOUT.

YOU KNOW WE'RE PLANNING TO PUT THE FEAR OF GOD INTO THEM HYMIES, DON'T YOU?

WE'RE GONNA DRIVE 'EM OFF THE BLOCK. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID.

WE GOT A REALLY BIG ORGANIZATION HERE, NEWMAN.

YES? YEAH, AND WHEN THE BOYS GET HOME,

THEY'RE GONNA BE LOOKING FOR AN ORGANIZATION THAT GIVES 'EM WHAT THEY WANT.

THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE STANDING FOR A LOT OF KIKES TAKING ALL THE JOBS AND BUSINESSES.

NO, I GUESS NOT. NEWMAN,

WE'RE GETTING MORE PEOPLE IN EVERY DAY.

AND WHEN WE GET ENOUGH, THAT'S WHEN WE'RE GONNA MAKE OUR MOVE.

WE'RE GETTING ONE OF THEM MEETINGS UP PRETTY SOON AGAIN.

YOU GONNA COME THIS TIME OR NOT?

YE... SURE. YEAH, YEAH, I GUESS.

YOU'LL JOIN THE ORGANIZATION. 'CAUSE IF WE ALL STICK TOGETHER,

WE CAN CLEAN UP THIS SITUATION.

WE CAN KNOCK THEM OVER LIKE TENPINS.

YOU WANNA JOIN?

EVERYBODY ON THE BLOCK WOULD BE GLAD TO HAVE YOU...

CARLSON, PETEY, EVERYONE.

NEWMAN,

WE WANT YOUR CLASS OF PEOPLE.

THIS MORNING, CARLSON WAS WILLING TO LAY A REAL BET...

THAT YOU'D BUY FROM FINKELSTEIN.

HE THOUGHT YOU WERE THE TYPE. WHAT TYPE?

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. BUT YOU'RE ALL RIGHT, NEWMAN.

YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE ON THE BLOCK I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH.

HAVING TROUBLE WITH ME? YEAH, BUT DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.

I... I GOTTA WALK MY PUPS, NEWMAN, OKAY?

I'M BUILDING A MODEL SAILBOAT DOWN IN THE BASEMENT.

YOU SEE THE LIGHT ON, YOU COME IN, OKAY? OKAY.

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT, NEWMAN. YOU'RE ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER. YEAH.

OH, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A POSITION WITH US?

I'M INQUIRING, YES. I WONDERED IF YOU HAD ANYTHING IN MY LINE.

I SEE. WELL, JUST WHAT IS YOUR LINE?

I'M PERSONNEL. I HIRED MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE LAST COMPANY I WAS WITH.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU FOLKS HAD ANYTHING OPEN.

FRANKLY, TRUTWELL ISN'T LOOKING FOR ANYONE IN PERSONNEL RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT, MR. STEVENS.

I'M JUST GOING OVER THE GROUND FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.

I STOPPED BY BECAUSE YOU LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF OUTFIT WHO WOULD BE USING...

MY TYPE OF MAN. OF COURSE.

I'M DOING A SORT OF LAY OF THE LAND.

I HOPE YOU'LL COME SEE US AGAIN IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANYTHING MEANWHILE.

BE HAPPY TO, MR. STEVENS.

AND THANKS FOR THINKING OF US. WHAT DID YOU SAY YOUR NAME WAS AGAIN?

NEWMAN. LAWRENCE NEWMAN. GREAT, GREAT.

WELL, I HOPE YOU COME UP AND SEE US AGAIN. I'LL GIVE YOU A TRY.

YES. YOUNG WILLIE DOYLE.

WELL, HE'S BEEN WORKING JUST A BLOCK FROM ME ALL THESE YEARS,

AND WE NEVER KNEW IT.

NO, NEITHER OF US KNEW IT.

WE'RE ALMOST FINISHED HERE AND I WON'T BE LATE, ALL RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF A FINE POSITION.

ACTUALLY, I'M IN CHARGE UNTIL THE WAR'S OVER ANYWAYS.

CHIEF'S IN THE NAVY. SO, HOW 'BOUT YOU?

I HAVE TO TELL YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE CHANGED QUITE A LOT. HAVE I?

I DON'T THINK I WOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED YOU.

WELL, YOU HIT 40 AND... I GUESS. YOU NEVER GOT MARRIED.

NO, NO, NEVER HAD THE TIME. WORKING. PAYING OFF THE HOUSE.

HOW'S THE JOB? YOU STILL OVER AT...

NO. UH, ACTUALLY I DECIDED TO MAKE A BREAK FINALLY.

ACTUALLY, I'M LOOKING FOR ANOTHER PLACEMENT. IS THAT SO?

HOW LONG YOU BEEN OUT? SINCE JUST THE OTHER DAY.

YOU JUST STARTED LOOKING? YEAH. I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT.

I JUST WONDERED IF YOU KNEW OF ANYTHING AT YOUR PLACE. I'M IN PERSONNEL, YOU KNOW.

SAY, I DO KNOW A PLACE FOR YOU TO TRY.

I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE COMPANY THAT HE'S WITH.

I SAW HIM ON THURSDAY AND HE SAID HE'S LOOKING FOR A MAN IN PERSONNEL.

STEVENS. COLE STEVENS AT THE TRUTWELL CORPORATION.

THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE MAN YOU WANT TO SEE.

I THINK THEY'RE OVER THERE ON 37th...

I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. BELIEVE ME. ANYWAYS,

YOU WANNA GET THERE FIRST THING, BECAUSE I KNOW HE'S LOOKING FOR SOMEONE.

I-I-I WILL. I'LL GET THERE FIRST THING. LET ME KNOW HOW THAT GOES.

YES, I WILL, WILLIE. THANK YOU.

GOOD TO SEE YOU. YOU TAKE CARE. YEAH.

♪♪

I'M LAWRENCE NEWMAN, MR. STEVENS.

I'M A CHRISTIAN PRESBYTERIAN. DO YOU WANNA SEE MY BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATE?

YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! YOU DARE NOT DO THIS TO ME, GODDAMN IT!

I AM NO ONE BUT LAWRENCE NEWMAN, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

MISTER, ARE YOU OKAY?

YES.

YEAH. I'LL DO ANYTHING THAT YOU SAY, MEL. ANYTHING.

YEAH. YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU KNOW.

THEY ARE DOING IT RIGHT IN GERMANY. WE GOTTA GET IT RIGHT. YEAH.

CLEAN OUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, RIGHT?

ACTION. YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE ACTION, MEL.

YOU'RE OKAY, MEL. YEAH, YOU'RE OKAY.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL HIM WE GOT A LIST?

WE GOT NAMES AND ADDRESSES. WE KNOW WHAT TO GO AFTER, WHO TO HURT.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL HIM ABOUT THE LIST?

BECAUSE, CARLSON, HE'S COMING TO SUPERVISE THINGS PERSONALLY.

MEL'S GONNA SUPERVISE.

SHH!

WHO'S THERE?

OKAY, SETTLE DOWN.

WHO'S THERE?

COME ON, BOYS.

GOOD-BYE, MOTHER.

GOOD-BYE, DEAR. SEE YOU AFTER WORK.

THEY KICKED MINE AROUND TOO. WHO'S DOING THIS?

WHO ALWAYS DOES IT? THE UNION CRUSADERS.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN SOME CHILDREN.

I DIDN'T GO TO SLEEP TILL 1:00 LAST NIGHT, AND GOT UP AT 5:00.

BETWEEN 1:00 AND 5:00, YOU DON'T FIND CHILDREN IN THE STREETS.

BUT YOU GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, MR. NEWMAN.

BY YOU, IT WAS PROBABLY A MISTAKE. WELL, IT MUST BE.

IF IT WAS EARLIER IN THE NIGHT, I MIGHT HAVE HEARD SOMETHING,

LIKE THE NIGHT THAT WOMAN WAS BEAT UP.

YOU SAW THAT? NO, BUT I HEARD THE SCREAMS.

IT'S HARD TO TELL WHERE IT CAME FROM.

YOU KNOW, I TOLD THE POLICE.

THEY WERE ASKING PEOPLE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO TRY AND IDENTIFY HER.

NO PAPERS, NOTHING. NO FAMILY.

SO I DID MY DUTY. I WENT ROUND TO THE HOSPITAL,

BUT, UH, I NEVER SEEN HER BEFORE.

IS THERE A POSITION OPEN?

EVENING, MR. NEWMAN. GOOD EVENING, MRS. DEWITT.

NEWMAN. HEY, NEWMAN.

HELLO, MR. NEWMAN.

FRED!

YOU DIDN'T BY ANY CHANCE SEE ANYONE IN MY GARBAGE CANS THE OTHER NIGHT?

GARBAGE? YEAH.

ONE WAS TURNED OVER. GARBAGE ALL OVER THE LAWN. REALLY?

NO, I DIDN'T... I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT, LARRY.

SORRY.

MR. NEWMAN. YES.

YOU CAN GO IN NOW.

WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN?

MR. ARDELL'S GONE OUT AND I'M TAKING OVER UNTIL HE GETS BACK.

IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN WAIT FOR HIM.

SOME MEN DON'T LIKE TO BE INTERVIEWED BY WOMEN. NO, I DON'T MIND.

YOU WANT TO WORK HERE?

I WONDERED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING HERE FOR A PERSON OF MY EXPERIENCE.

YOU DON'T NEED YOUR EXPERIENCE FOR THIS

PLACE. ALL THEY DO IS ASK IF YOU'RE A CITIZEN.

JEWS, NIGGERS, WOPS. ANYBODY.

YOU THOUGHT I WAS A JEW. I WANT TO APOLOGIZE, MISS HART.

I WAS UNDER TENSION THAT DAY.

I CAN IMAGINE.

I... I HAD ORDERS. I COULDN'T TAKE THE CHANCE.

THAT COMPANY DOESN'T HIRE THEM. THEY NEVER

HIRED ANY SINCE THE DAY THEY OPENED THEIR DOORS.

NONE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYHOW. I CAN'T HIRE YOU MYSELF. I... I...

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT!

I... I'M...

I'M... I'M JUST SO PLEASED TO HAVE RUN INTO YOU AGAIN, MISS HART.

I'VE THOUGHT A GREAT DEAL ABOUT YOU SINCE THAT DAY.

PLEASE, BELIEVE WHAT I SAY.

I REALLY HAVE.

YEAH?

YEAH.

I'VE BEEN HAVING A HARD TIME SINCE...

WELL, TO TELL THE TRUTH, SINCE THE DAY YOU SAW ME.

I, UM... YOU SEE, I HAD TO...

WELL, FRANKLY, I HAD TO QUIT THAT POSITION.

THEY WERE GOING TO TRANSFER ME TO A CLERK'S JOB.

WHY?

THEY SEEM TO FEEL THAT SINCE I GOT MY GLASSES...

I DON'T MAKE THE KIND OF APPEARANCE THEY WANT IN THE FRONT OFFICE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN THEN?

I KNOW JUST WHAT YOU MEAN.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET PLACED, AND IT'S THE SAME EVERYWHERE I GO.

SURE, THEY'RE ALL MORONS. YOU'LL NEVER GET ANYWHERE WITH 'EM.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE DECIDED.

HOW'D YOU KNOW THIS PLACE WAS JEWISH?

IT IS?

DIDN'T YOU KNOW?

WELL, THE NAME.

MEYER IS A JEW.

YOU DON'T WANNA WORK HERE NOW, HUH?

YOU BETTER WANT TO.

YOU'RE IN A BAD WAY YOURSELF, MR. NEWMAN.

I CAN SEE THAT NOW MYSELF.

CAN YOU?

OH, YEAH.

IT'S THERE, ALL RIGHT.

I'M SORRY THAT I... MISTOOK YOU THAT WAY.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. GOD, IT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME.

LISTEN.

THE REASON I BLEW UP AT YOU IS I THOUGHT YOU...

YOU KNOW.

YOU REALLY DID? YEAH, I DID. I THOUGHT YOU WERE.

WHAT? YOU THOUGHT I WAS WHAT?

JEWISH.

OH.

I THOUGHT... I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY...

THAT YOU WERE WHAT?

MR. NEWMAN,

I CAN'T HIRE YOU.

BUT IF YOU COME BACK IN ABOUT AN HOUR, I'LL TELL MR. ARDELL ABOUT YOU.

IS THERE A POSITION OPEN?

WELL, IT ISN'T EXACTLY YOUR OWN LINE, BUT IT'S A DECENT KIND OF JOB.

THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A MAN WHO CAN INTERVIEW

PEOPLE WHO COME INTO THE COMPANY TO SELL THINGS.

IT'S KIND OF A SALES TRAFFIC CONTROL THING.

THE COMPANY'S BIGGER THAN IT LOOKS, AND I GOT AN IDEA IT'LL BE AN AFTER-THE-WAR JOB.

UNLESS THE WHOLE COUNTRY CLOSES DOWN OR SOMETHING.

- YOU'LL COME BACK? - OH, YES.

YES, UM... YES. IN AN HOUR, YOU SAY?

YEAH.

MAKE IT ABOUT AN HOUR.

I'LL RECOMMEND YOU.

YEAH? YEAH.

THANKS. THANK YOU, MISS HART.

CHALK IT UP.

HEY, LARRY!

WILLIE. HOW ARE YOU?

VERY WELL. DID YOU SEE STEVENS?

NO. I'M ALL SET UP AT MEYER-PETERSEN. MEYER-PETERSEN?

IN NEW JERSEY. HOW LONG YOU BEEN THERE?

THREE WEEKS NOW. THREE WEEKS? HOW'S IT GOING?

IT'S SWELL. IT REALLY IS.

EXCUSE ME, WILLIE. MY DATE.

UH, GERTRUDE, WILLIE DOYLE. WILLIE, GERTRUDE HART. HI, WILLIE.

HI.

LOOK, I GOTTA GO MEET A FRIEND, BUT IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU.

BYE, WILLIE. IT'S A PLEASURE. WHOO!

I WANNA WALK.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR EXCITEMENT USUALLY?

NOT MUCH. I'VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY MOST OF MY LIFE JUST WORKING.

SOME HAVE IT ALL AND SOME GOT NOTHIN'.

THAT'S THE TRUTH, I GUESS.

ALTHOUGH, I'VE HAD MY SHARE OF THINGS.

LIKE WHAT?

OH, A NICE HOME AND A... GOOD JOB.

BUT YOU DIDN'T EVER HAVE A GOOD TIME. THAT'S THE TROUBLE WITH YOU, LAWRENCE.

THAT'S WHY I'VE ALWAYS PICKED ACTORS. THEY

MAKE A DOLLAR AND SPEND A DOLLAR TWENTY-FIVE.

SO, UH, ARE YOU GONNA KEEP TAKING ME OUT?

WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO? SAY YES OR NO. I'M NOT THE HARPOONING TYPE.

WELL, OF COURSE I WOULD... I WOULD LIKE TO.

I JUST, I WONDERED WHAT YOU THOUGHT.

MMM, YOU GOT ALL THE ANSWERS, RIGHT?

YES, I WOULD LOVE TO. HEY, WAIT.

DID YOU LIKE IT IN HOLLYWOOD?

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU IN A PICTURE. I THINK YOU'RE REALLY BEAUTIFUL.

NAH. I GOT THE WRONG TYPE OF BEAUTY.

I GOT A TEST, BUT THEY THOUGHT I LOOKED TOO TRAGIC.

SO, WHATEVER THAT MEANS. ANYWAY,

I WAS THERE ABOUT TWO YEARS AND I WORKED FOR THIS MAN...

WHO OWNED A DOG MANICURING PLACE... YOU KNOW, WASHING AND CLIPPING.

HE WAS ALL RIGHT TO ME... FOR A MAN.

THAT'S WHEN I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS ACTOR.

I BROUGHT MY MOTHER OUT FOR THE WEDDING. FROM WHERE?

HOME. BUFFALO.

I GOT SEVEN SISTERS. THEY'RE ALL MARRIED.

BUT I'M THE OLDEST. THE MA.

HE DIDN'T MARRY YOU? NOT EVEN MAYBE.

HE JUST LIT OUT, YOU KNOW.

ANYWAY,

I WENT BACK TO BUFFALO, YOU KNOW,

TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT WRONG.

DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL IN BUFFALO?

WHAT, YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME? YEAH, I-I BELIEVE YOU.

YEAH? OF COURSE.

YEAH. LIKE YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING I SAY, RIGHT?

YEAH.

OH, LAWRENCE, THAT'S...

OH, GOD!

WHA-WHA... WHOA!

NO. I MEAN, IT'S NOT ALLOWED. COME ON!

WAIT. WHA... COME ON!

WE'RE GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE.

YOU... HEY.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING? WHAT?

I'M THINKING WHAT I'D SAY IF YOU ASKED ME TO MARRY YOU.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

I'D PROBABLY SAY NO.

WHY? WHY WOULD YOU SAY NO?

- I'D PROBABLY RUIN YOUR LIFE. - HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY RUIN MY LIFE?

DANCIN'. I LIKE TO DANCE.

YOU'D HAVE TO TAKE ME OUT DANCIN' ALL THE TIME.

I'D TAKE YOU DANCING ANYTIME YOU LIKE.

I NEVER DID STUFF LIKE THAT BECAUSE,

WELL, I'VE NEVER BEEN WITH THE KIND OF WOMAN WHO APPEALED TO ME.

REALLY, GERTRUDE, I NEVER STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU.

IT'S LIKE I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU FOR YEARS.

THAT'S WHY YOU STRUCK ME SO THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU.

NOW YOU'RE KIDDING ME.

MARRY ME, GERTRUDE.

ALL RIGHT. WHEN?

WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO? TWO WEEKS FROM SATURDAY.

ALL RIGHT.

I'D LIKE TO TAKE YOU HOME TO MEET MY MOTHER. DO YOU THINK SHE'D LIKE ME?

OH, I'M SURE SHE WILL. SHE'S BEEN WANTING ME TO GET MARRIED FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

SO, IS SHE RELIGIOUS? NOT FANATIC, BUT WE'D HAVE TO GET MARRIED IN A CHURCH.

THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE. ABSOLUTELY.

HOLD IT.

IT'S HOT.

WHEN ARE WE GONNA CUT THE CAKE?

HOW YOU DOIN'? WOW.

FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS?

THANKS.

THAT'S IT!

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

MMM.

YES.

AND THAT'S WHEN I LOOKED UP AND I SAW FRED.

FRED'S HOUSE, AND I SAW ELSIE IN THE WINDOW.

I DON'T... I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE WAS WEARING.

IT-IT SURE LOOKED ODD TO ME.

YOU'VE GOT A RETURN? YES.

GOOD CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS...

GOOD MORNING, FRED.

MORNING.

GOING TO THE COUNTRY FOR THE WEEKEND.

I GO OUT WITH THE DOGS SOME DAYS.

FRED, YOU GOT A LIGHT? SURE.

WE ARE REACHING THE END OF THE

MOST HORRIFIC WAR IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.

OUR SONS, OUR BROTHERS...

I USED TO LISTEN TO HIM BEFORE. WHO?

FATHER CRIGHTON. YEAH, I WAS GOING THROUGH SOME BAD TIMES.

FELT LIKE HE WAS TALKING TO ME PERSONALLY. BYE, MOTHER.

MADE ME BELIEVE IN GOD AGAIN.

GAVE ME HOPE, YOU KNOW?

YEAH, HE'S A GOOD MAN.

I'D LOVE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT SOMETIME. NICE TALKING TO YOU.

READY? UH-HUH.

THANK YOU.

FATHER! FATHER! FATHER!

I GOTTA TELL YOU SOMETHIN'. WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S ABOUT BUFFALO.

I WASN'T BORN THERE. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN STATEN ISLAND.

BUT I ALWAYS SAID BUFFALO SO EMPLOYERS WOULDN'T THINK I WAS A JEW.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. I UNDERSTAND.

YEAH? YOU MAD ABOUT WANAMAKERS?

I'M NOT MAD, NO.

I-I JUST DON'T THINK YOU OUGHT TO HAVE $100 DRESSES DELIVERED FROM STORES...

WHEN YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO SEND THEM BACK.

WHY? EVERYBODY DOES IT.

COME ON. I JUST WANTED TO TRY SOME THINGS ON AT HOME FOR YOU.

WELL, YOU HAVE EXCELLENT TASTE, GERT.

NO, R-REALLY. I NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD LOOK LIKE THAT.

LIKE AN ACTRESS. YEAH?

YEAH! EXCEPTIONAL TASTE.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT I PRIDE MYSELF ON.

OOH! GET OVER HERE.

COME ON.

YOU KNOW WHO I WISH WAS WITH US? FRED.

WHY FRED? HE SEEMS NICE.

IT WAS NICE OF YOUR MOTHER TO INVITE THEM TO THE RECEPTION.

YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORLY. WE OUGHTA GET TO KNOW THEM BETTER.

I DON'T KNOW. I THINK HE'S THE ONE WHO TURNED OVER...

WHAT? WHAT WERE YOU GONNA SAY?

THERE IT IS, GERT.

OH, LOOK! I'M SO EXCITED.

OH, IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

TALKING ABOUT ORGANIZING A BRIDGE GAME.

VERY NICE CROWD HERE.

HELLO. THERE'S A YOUNGER COUPLE.

LEAVE THESE RIGHT HERE.

ALWAYS SOMEONE INTERESTING TO TALK TO HERE. NICE, LIVELY CROWD.

I WANNA TAKE A SWIM BEFORE LUNCH. YES, SIR?

HI. UH, LAWRENCE NEWMAN. YES, SIR.

I CALLED LAST WEEK. I TALKED TO A YOUNG MAN, A MR. SULLIVAN...

ABOUT A FRONT ROOM.

HE TOLD US YOU'D BE ABLE TO HELP US. A RESERVATION?

NO. HE SAID THERE'D BE NO PROBLEM.

YOU CAN'T GET ANYTHING HERE. FULL UP.

OH.

UM, IS MR. SULLIVAN AROUND? I'M SURE HE'D REMEMBER ME.

UH, HE'S SWIMMING, BUT HE COULDN'T HELP YOU.

HE'S MY SON. I OWN THE PLACE.

OH. I JUST THOUGHT HE'D REMEMBER ME. I WAS HERE FOR TWO WEEKS.

MISTER, WE'RE FULL UP.

I COULDN'T HELP YOU IF I WANTED TO.

WE'LL GO ON TO THE OTHER ONE THEN, LAWRENCE.

WE WANTED TO SAVE ON GAS. THAT'S WHY WE TRIED YOU.

I'D BE GLAD TO HELP YOU IF WE WEREN'T SO FULL UP.

OH, YEAH, WE KNOW. WE SAW THE MOB OUT THERE. WHAT, WITH 12 CARS OUTSIDE.

HOW'D EVERYBODY ELSE GET HERE? BY YACHT?

I SAID WHAT I HAD TO SAY, LADY.

JUMP IN WITH YOUR SON AND DROWN, WILL YA?

LET'S GET OUTTA HERE BEFORE WE GET SQUEEZED TO DEATH BY THE MOB IN HERE.

YOU WOULD THINK HE COULD'VE THOUGHT UP A GOOD EXCUSE.

CROWDED. I WANTED TO CHOKE HIM. DON'T TAKE IT TO HEART.

YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE ANYMORE WITHOUT SOMETHING HAPPENING.

JUST GO TO ANOTHER PLACE, LULLY.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WE'RE GOING HOME.

NO! I WANNA GO TO ANOTHER PLACE!

I WANNA GO TO ANOTHER PLACE! STOP THAT!

WHAT... LET ME OUT! LULLY!

JUST LET ME OUT! STOP THE CAR! STOP IT!

I'M NOT GOING HOME! STOP IT! WILL YOU CALM DOWN?

I WANNA FIND ANOTHER PLACE. NO! I'M NOT GOING THROUGH THAT AGAIN.

AND I DON'T WANT YOU INSULTED EITHER. TURN AROUND!

THEY'RE ALL RESTRICTED HOTELS ALONG HERE.

IT'LL BE THE SAME NO MATTER WHERE WE GO.

THEY SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO TREAT PEOPLE LIKE THAT.

GOT THE RIGHT TO DO ANYTHING THEY WANT.

BUT THEY'RE WRONG, AND YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD HIM THAT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL HIM?

TELL THEM WHAT, GERT? TELL THEM WHAT?

IF PEOPLE WANT TO TAKE THAT ATTITUDE WITH YOU, YOU CAN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN TELL THEM?

THEY PULL THAT ON ME AND I TELL 'EM WHAT I AM.

NOBODY MAKES A JEW OUTTA ME AND GETS AWAY WITH IT.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

THERE'S A-A LITTLE STATE PARK UP THE ROAD HERE.

WE'LL HAVE LUNCH. WE'LL SIT BY THE LAKE.

I DON'T WANNA SIT BY THE LAKE. I CANNOT GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN TODAY!

NOW STOP IT!

DO JEWS EAT CLAMS?

NO SHELLFISH.

HAVE YOU DECIDED? YES.

CLAMS. MY WIFE WILL HAVE CLAMS.

AND I'LL HAVE CLAMS TOO. A LARGE ORDER OF CLAMS FOR TWO.

THAT'S AN ORDER OF CLAMS FOR TWO, SIR. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE?

NO, NOT JUST YET. WE'LL SEE AS WE GO.

OKAY.

WE'LL TURN AROUND, WE'LL DRIVE BACK DOWN THE ROAD FOR A COUPLE OF MILES.

WE'LL FIND ANOTHER PLACE. MUST BE ANOTHER PLACE.

OKAY.

I STILL THINK YOU SHOULD'VE SAID SOMETHING TO HIM.

NO! NO! THAT'S TOO COLD! I DON'T CARE.

ALL RIGHT, I CALL. TWO OF A KIND.

FULL HOUSE. OKAY.

OH, OH.

THOSE ARE PERFECT.

WAIT!

IT'S USUALLY OPEN ON SUNDAY.

SOMETHING MUST'VE HAPPENED.

HELLO? MOTHER, WE'RE HOME.

OH, HELLO, DEAR.

I'LL GO PUT THE CAR AWAY. ALL RIGHT.

HI.

DID YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME?

YES, WE DID. WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.

SO I FOUND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

YOUR MOTHER TOLD ME THAT FINKELSTEIN GOT IN A FIGHT WITH SOME GUY...

OVER THAT KID WHO SELLS NEWSPAPERS ON SUNDAY.

WAS HE HURT? NO.

THEY FELL AGAINST A WINDOW AND IT CRACKED.

SHE SAID SHE SAW IT FROM HERE. THE WHOLE BLOCK WAS WATCHING.

SHE TOLD ME ABOUT FRED.

THE TWO OF YOU USED TO GET TOGETHER AND TALK, VISIT WITH EACH OTHER IN HIS CELLAR.

YOU DON'T DO IT ANYMORE? MM-HMM.

AND HE'S A UNION CRUSADER? I KNOW HE'S A UNION CRUSADER.

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THAT, LULLY.

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THAT HE INVITED YOU TO A MEETING AND YOU DIDN'T GO.

AND ABOUT THE GARBAGE CANS.

I ASKED FRED ABOUT THE GARBAGE CANS.

AND WHAT DID HE SAY? HE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

OH, LULLY! THAT'S PART OF THEIR TACTIC.

FIRST WITH THE GARBAGE CAN, AND THEN THEY BLOW OUT A WINDOW OR TWO.

NOT MY WINDOW, THEY'RE NOT.

- WHO ARE THEY? - I DON'T KNOW.

I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE. HE'S HAVING A MEETING.

OH, EXCUSE ME. IS THIS 144?

NO, JUST NEXT DOOR.

THANKS A LOT.

COME INSIDE.

THERE'S SOME THINGS I DIDN'T TELL YOU.

AND MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE, BUT THERE ARE THINGS YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME EITHER.

WHAT THINGS? WHAT HAVEN'T I TOLD YOU? ABOUT THE GARBAGE CAN.

AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THE UNION CRUSADERS ARE ALIVE AROUND HERE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT.

WE GOTTA STOP FOOLING AROUND HERE!

YOU EITHER GET IN WITH FRED AND YOU JOIN THE

UNION CRUSADERS, OR WE GET OUT NOW AND FAST.

GET OUT OF... WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT? I JUST TOLD YOU.

AND YOU HEARD ME. LOOK.

I WAS OUT SHOPPING, AND I HEARD THE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS MEETING NEXT SATURDAY.

LULLY, YOU SHOULD GO.

I DON'T KNOW.

ALL RIGHT, DON'T GO. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO.

BUT WE GET IN OR WE GET OUT. THAT'S THE ONLY CHOICE.

HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THE UNION CRUSADERS?

- I JUST KNOW, OKAY? - HOW?

THAT GUY I TOLD YOU I WORKED FOR IN HOLLYWOOD, THE DOG GROOMER...

I LIVED WITH HIM, LULLY.

I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE, SO I STAYED.

I STAYED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

LULLY,

HE'S A UNION CRUSADER.

SO I HEARD A LOT.

THEN THEY STARTED BEATIN' UP ON JEWS,

AND THE POLICE CAME AROUND.

I'D HAD ENOUGH, SO I GOT OUT.

BUT I DIDN'T GET OUT BEFORE I GOT TO KNOW THOSE PEOPLE, LULLY.

THAT FAT GUY WE SAW DOWNSTAIRS,

I SAW HIM IN L.A.

HIS NAME'S MEL.

HE'S REAL IMPORTANT WITH THE CRUSADERS, LULLY.

THEY DON'T BRING HIM IN UNLESS THEY...

IT'S GONNA GET REAL DANGEROUS.

OKAY? THEY GOT RIFLES, THEY GOT BOMBS.

FRED'S GOT RIFLES. FRED GOES HUNTING.

AND REVOLVERS, LULLY? YOU GO HUNTING WITH REVOLVERS?

THEY'RE DRAWING A RING AROUND US.

NOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS, BUT THEN WE HAVE TO MOVE RIGHT NOW.

BUT WE'RE NOT JEWS!

OH, LULLY, LISTEN TO ME.

IT ISN'T FAIR,

BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.

WHEN THEY MAKE UP THEIR MIND ABOUT WHO YOU ARE,

IT'S OVER.

SO YOU GO TO THE MEETING OR YOU GET OUT NOW.

OH, GOD.

LET'S GO.

CALLAHAN PETE'S, 221 FLATBUSH.

TWO MALE NEGROES, POSSIBLY JUVENILES.

BOB, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

EXCUSE ME. THAT'S SAVED. I'M SORRY.

THERE HE IS.

FATHER! FATHER! FATHER!

FATHER! FATHER! FATHER! FATHER!

YOU MUST BE FRED. THANKS VERY MUCH.

FATHER! FATHER! FATHER!

FATHER! FATHER! FATHER!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

THANK YOU! PLEASE BE SEATED!

I COME TO YOU TONIGHT, GOOD PEOPLE,

IN THE TERRIBLE HEAT OF THIS DAY,

TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT...

AGAINST THE ANTI-CHRISTIAN PROPAGANDISTS,

AND TO STAND FAST... FAST...

AGAINST THE INTERNATIONALIST WARMONGERS...

DETERMINED TO CRUCIFY CHRIST ALL OVER AGAIN!

- STAND FAST! - YES! YES! YES!

THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY...

WHEN 95 PERCENT OF OUR FELLOW CITIZENS...

HAVE THEIR MINDS AND EMOTIONS AROUSED BY ONLY...

FIVE PERCENT OF THESE INTERNATIONALIST WARMONGERS,

WHOSE MAIN CONCERN IS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE...

IN THE SERVICE OF COMMUNISM!

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! BOO!

THIS IMPENDING MENACE MAKES IT NECESSARY FOR US TO SOLIDIFY...

A CLOSELY WOVEN UNION CRUSADE...

TO BLUDGEON THIS ASSAULT BY THESE INTERNATIONALIST BANKERS...

AND THEIR WARMONGERING COMMUNIST BROTHERS!

AND WE ALL KNOW WHO THEY ARE!

JEWS! JEWS!

NOW WE MUST BE DILIGENT IN ROOTING OUT...

THESE MAGGOTS THAT FEED ON THE ULCERS OF CIVILIZATION,

AND GROW FAT ON THE DOCTRINES OF ZIONIST GREED...

AND MARXIST ATHEISM!

WE MUST BE RESOLUTE IN DENYING THESE PARASITES...

THE OPPORTUNITY TO WAX FAT...

ON THE WOUNDS OF OUR PROSPERITY!

BUT, BUT, BEFORE I CONTINUE,

DEAR BRETHREN AND CO-PATRIOTS,

BEFORE I CONTINUE, I SHOULD LIKE TO INFORM...

NAY, WARN YOU... THAT THERE ARE AMONGST US TONIGHT...

HOW SHALL I SAY IT? THE INTERNATIONALIST PRESS.

YES! LOOK AROUND YOU!

I THINK YOU KNOW HOW TO TELL A NATIONALIST FROM AN INTERNATIONALIST.

I SUSPECT THESE PRESS PEOPLE WILL...

GIVE US DUE ATTENTION IN THEIR NEWSPAPERS.

AND WE MUST STEEL OURSELVES FOR EXCLAMATIONS OF DISSENT TONIGHT.

AND SHOULD ANY SUCH DISSENT BE NOTICED,

I TRUST YOU WILL RESTRAIN YOURSELVES...

AND DEAL WITH ANY SUCH INDIVIDUALS AS BEFITS OUR CHRISTIAN VALUES.

AMEN!

AS YOU ALL KNOW,

WE ARE CLOSE TO THE END OF THE MOST BRUTAL WAR IN HISTORY.

A WAR TO WHICH MANY OF YOU...

HAVE LOST BROTHERS, HUSBANDS, FRIENDS.

AND I TELL YOU, WHEN OUR BOYS COME HOME,

WE WILL RISE UP AGAINST THE MONEY-GRABBERS WHO STARTED IT!

AND OUR BYWORD WILL BE ACTION! ACTION! ACTION!

- ACTION! - ACTION!

ACTION! ACTION!

STAND UP, MISTER!

NOW FRIENDS, PLEASE! PLEASE, PLEASE, SIT DOWN!

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? HE DIDN'T CLAP ONCE.

FOR PETE'S SAKE, I NEVER CLAP. HE'S A JEW, A SAMMY.

YOU'RE OUTTA HERE! STOP IT!

SIT DOWN! PLEASE GO BACK TO YOUR SEATS! PLEASE!

LET US EXERCISE SOME CHRISTIAN COMPASSION.

LISTEN TO ME!

MY NAME IS LAWRENCE NEWMAN!

MY FAMILY CAME FROM ALDWICH, ENGLAND IN 1861!

ALDWICH, ENGLAND, FOR PETE'S SAKE!

MY-MY ANCESTORS WERE PILGRIMS, EVEN!

PROTESTANTS! PRESBYTERIANS!

I... LISTEN!

YOU BETTER GO HOME, MISTER.

WELL, I... I... YOU HURT?

NO, NO, BUT THEY'RE OUT OF THEIR MINDS. THEY'RE CRAZY!

CAN'T THEY SEE? I'M NOT A HEBE!

BETTER GO HOME NOW.

MR. NEWMAN. CAN I HELP YOU?

UH, UH, I'M ALL RIGHT.

I THINK YOU'LL WANT TO TAKE YOUR JACKET OFF. IT DON'T LOOK NICE.

ARE YOU GOIN' HOME?

I'D LIKE TO WALK WITH YOU, IF YOU DON'T MIND MY COMPANY.

I SEEN THERE WHAT HAPPENED.

I FIGURE THAT THEY'LL COME TO ME ANYWAY, SO FIRST I'LL GO TO THEM.

I STOOD OUTSIDE. I SEEN WHAT THEY DONE TO YOU.

FIRST, I'M ASKIN' YOU TO UNDERSTAND ME.

I'M... I'M AFTER INFORMATION.

I AM A MAN WHO READS EVERY DAY, SEVERAL NEWSPAPERS.

ALL KINDS, FROM COMMUNIST TO THE UTTERMOST REACTIONARY.

IT'S MY NATURE I SHOULDN'T BE HAPPY...

UNLESS I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON.

WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW SO MANY PEOPLE...

CAN GET WORKED UP TO SUCH A PITCH ABOUT JEWS,

WHEN IN THAT WHOLE HALL THERE AIN'T A PERSON WHO KNOWS HIMSELF PERSONALLY...

MAYBE MORE THAN THREE JEWS TO SPEAK TO.

MOST OF THEM AREN'T VERY INTELLIGENT.

YEAH, BUT SOME THERE LOOK MORE INTELLIGENT THAN ME.

I-I WANNA LAY THINGS OUT ON THE BOARD, MR. NEWMAN.

IF YOU DON'T MIND, YOU CAN DISCUSS WITH ME.

WHY DO YOU WANT ME TO GET OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD?

IT ISN'T YOU, PARTICULARLY. IT IS ME PARTICULARLY.

IF YOU WANT THE JEWS TO GET OUT, YOU WANT ME TO GET OUT.

I DID SOMETHIN' YOU DON'T LIKE?

IT ISN'T A QUESTION OF DOING SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE. YES, THEN, WHAT?

YOU DON'T REALLY WANT TO KNOW THIS, DO YOU?

WHY, DON'T YOU WANT TO TELL ME? NO, I'LL TELL YOU IF YOU WANT.

THERE'S LOTS OF REASONS PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THE JEWS.

UH, FOR ONE THING, THEY HAVE NO PRINCIPLES. PRINCIPLES?

YES. IN BUSINESS, FOR INSTANCE,

YOU'LL FIND THEM CHEATING OR TAKING ADVANTAGE.

LET ME UNDERSTAND. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ME NOW?

NO, NO, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU. SOME, YOU MEAN.

OF COURSE I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU.

THEN SOME GENTILES, NO?

OF COURSE, YES. SOME GENTILES, YES.

YOU EVER PUT A NICKEL IN FOR A LOCAL CALL? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THE PHONE COMPANY COULD MAKE A GOOD PROFIT CHARGING A PENNY.

THIS IS A FACT FROM THE UTILITIES INVESTIGATION.

THE PHONE COMPANY IS RUN AND OWNED BY GENTILES,

BUT SHOULD I HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE?

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. IT ISN'T WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

IT'S WHAT OTHERS OF YOUR PEOPLE HAVE DONE.

SO, IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME, YOU DON'T SEE ME.

I DON'T SEE YOU? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I MEAN WHAT I SAID.

YOU LOOK AT ME AND YOU DON'T SEE ME.

SO WHAT DO YOU SEE, MR. NEWMAN?

I...

WHAT HAPPENED? YOU'RE ALL DIRTY. I'LL WASH LATER.

LAWRENCE, YOU'RE CUT! I WAS SITTING THERE WITH SOME MORON.

HE STARTED YELLING AT ME.

WHY? WHAT'D YOU DO? I DIDN'T DO A THING.

HE-HE SAW I WASN'T APPLAUDING.

I NEVER APPLAUD. YOU KNOW THAT. BUT DID YOU TELL HIM THAT?

HOW CAN YOU TELL THOSE MORONS ANYTHING?

THEY WENT CRAZY AND SHOVED ME OUT.

SO YOU DIDN'T STAY TO THE END?

THEY PUSHED ME OUT, FOR PETE'S SAKE! RIGHT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE APPLAUDED.

WHY? WHY SHOULD I HAVE APPLAUDED?

THEY'RE ALL MORONS.

TAKE CARE. OKAY, YOU TOO. GOOD NIGHT.

I WANT TO SEE YOU, FRED.

- WHO'S THAT? - IT'S ME.

SIT DOWN A MINUTE, WILL YOU?

YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED TODAY?

WELL, UH, WHAT DO YOU WANT, LARRY?

I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, NOW COULD I?

I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE MOLESTED AGAIN.

MISTAKES HAPPEN.

THEY JUST GOT EXCITED, LARRY. THEY JUST GOT EXCITED.

AS EXCITED AS THEY GET WHEN THEY THROW MY GARBAGE ON MY LAWN?

I TOLD YOU,

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE GARBAGE ON YOUR LAWN.

OH, COME ON, FRED!

YOU SAW IT THE FIRST TIME, WHEN YOU WALKED YOUR DOGS BEFORE I GOT UP.

BUT LET'S STOP FOOLING AROUND, ALL RIGHT?

LET'S BE HONEST, ALL RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO, LARRY?

I WANT MY NAME TAKEN OFF THE LIST.

I KNOW YOU GUYS KEEP A LIST, AND I WANT MY NAME OFF.

A MAN DOESN'T GET GARBAGE TWICE ON HIS LAWN...

OR GET ATTACKED LIKE TODAY, UNLESS HE'S A JEW.

AND YOU KNOW I'M NOT, FRED.

I TOLD 'EM.

I SAYS, THE MAN HAS BEEN A NEIGHBOR OF MINE FOR A LONG TIME.

BUT THEY CLAIM THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKIN' ABOUT.

AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, LARRY,

I WAS MAKIN' HEADWAY UNTIL YOU BROUGHT THE MISSUS AROUND.

GERTRUDE? YOU THINK SHE'S JEWISH?

YOU MEAN, SHE'S NOT?

NO! WHERE'D YOU EVER GET THAT IDEA?

OH, GEE, I'M...

I'M AWFUL SORRY, LARRY. I DIDN'T KNOW.

I THOUGHT YOU'D DONE GONE AND MARRIED YOURSELF A JEW WOMAN.

I'M NOT GIVING UP MY HOUSE, FRED.

WHO GAVE YOU THAT IDEA?

I'M TALKING, FRED, AND I'M TELLING YOU WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

I BOUGHT AND PAID FOR THAT HOUSE,

AND I'M NOT GIVING IT UP!

AND AS FAR AS YOU'RE CONCERNED, DON'T KID YOURSELF ABOUT ME.

I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

I CAN TAKE PRETTY GOOD CARE OF MYSELF, SO DON'T KID YOURSELF!

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

MAYBE IT WAS ABOUT THAT WOMAN PETEY RAPED THAT NIGHT.

MAYBE IT WAS ABOUT ME AND GERTRUDE.

MAYBE IT WAS ABOUT FINKELSTEIN THERE,

OR MRS. BLYTHE OR MRS. DEWITT.

MAYBE IT WAS ABOUT WHO OF US WOULD COME OUT TO HELP EACH OTHER...

IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ONE OF US, LIKE TO YOU, FOR INSTANCE.

OR FRED OR FINKELSTEIN.

YEAH, I'M INCLUDING HIM, LIKE I'M INCLUDING THAT WOMAN SCREAMING...

WHILE PETEY RAPED HER AND NONE OF US CAME OUT TO HELP.

WHAT WAS IT ABOUT, CARLSON?

IT WAS ABOUT YOU AND FRED AND PETEY...

AND ALL THIS GODDAMNED HATRED GOING AROUND AND AROUND US...

LIKE SOME CRAZY CAROUSEL, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

THAT'S WHAT IT WAS ABOUT. ALL RIGHT?

GOOD EVENING AGAIN. HOW ARE YOU?

I WANTED TO ASK YOU A FEW THINGS.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IF THEY COME AFTER YOU?

YOU GOT SOME DEFINITE INFORMATION THEY'RE GONNA START WITH ME?

WELL, IT'S COMING, ALL RIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN, BUT IT'S GOING TO COME. WHAT WILL YOU DO?

THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL A LOUISVILLE SLUGGER. SOLID WOOD.

WHAT ABOUT THE POLICE? THE POLICE, SURE.

IF WE COULD GET A DELEGATION TO COMPLAIN.

BUT IS THAT POSSIBLE ON THIS BLOCK?

MR. FINKELSTEIN,

I'LL GIVE YOU MY HONEST OPINION.

I THINK THERE'S ONLY ONE SENSIBLE THING FOR YOU TO DO.

YES? I THINK YOU OUGHT TO THINK ABOUT MOVING.

IT'S MY HONEST OPINION.

ARE YOU A JEW, MR. NEWMAN?

NO, BUT THEY THINK YOU ARE, RIGHT? WELL...

SUPPOSING I TOLD YOU TO MOVE? MR. FINKELSTEIN,

I CAME TO GIVE YOU MY OPINION.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE BUYING FROM THEM ON SUNDAYS BECAUSE THEY MADE YOU BUY.

I THOUGHT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DID, YOU WERE STILL MY FRIEND...

BECAUSE YOU WERE A MAN OF INTELLIGENCE. I DIDN'T COME HERE TO...

FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T YOU SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING?

THERE'S HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN

THIS COUNTRY, AND A COUPLE OF MILLION IS JEWS.

IT'S YOU THEY WANT, NOT ME!

THEY ARE A GANG OF DEVILS...

AND THEY WANT THIS COUNTRY.

AND I MUST TELL YOU, IF-IF YOU HAD ANY REGARD FOR YOUR COUNTRY,

YOU WOULDN'T TELL ME TO MOVE.

I WILL NOT MOVE, MR. NEWMAN.

I WILL NOT DO IT. I WON'T!

I SIMPLY WAS TRYING... NO, I WILL NOT!

DID YOU TALK TO FRED?

I TALKED TO FRED AND I TALKED TO CARLSON AND I TALKED TO FINKELSTEIN,

AND I DON'T THINK WE'LL BE HAVING ANY TROUBLE WITH OUR GARBAGE CANS ANYMORE.

ALL RIGHT?

I WAS JUST ASKING, THAT'S ALL.

WHY'D YOU TALK TO FINKELSTEIN?

TO WARN HIM TO MOVE.

YOU DID? YOU TOLD HIM TO MOVE?

AND FRED. WHAT ABOUT FRED?

GERT, I TOOK CARE OF THINGS.

ALL RIGHT? PLEASE, DON'T WORRY.

OKAY.

OKAY.

HI, ELSIE. HOW'S FRED DOING?

OH, HE'S OKAY. GREAT.

FIVE. THERE YOU GO.

HAVE A GOOD DAY. THANK YOU.

AH. OH, EXCUSE ME. I THOUGHT I WAS NEXT.

HAVE A GOOD AFTERNOON, MRS. HAMILTON. THANK YOU.

MRS. DEWITT, LET ME GIVE YOU A HAND WITH THAT.

YOU GO AHEAD, MRS. NEWMAN. YOU WERE BEFORE ME.

AH. THANK YOU.

THIRTY-FIVE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

HELLO, ELSIE.

OH. I'M SORRY.

I'LL BREAK YOUR HAND IF YOU PICK THAT UP. YOU REALLY...

DON'T, DON'T. IT'S GONNA BE VERY PAINFUL WHEN I DO THAT...

AND SAY, "GIN!"

DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS, LAWRENCE?

THAT WOMAN IS STILL IN A COMA.

STILL? YES.

- WHO'S THAT? - OH.

JUST SOME WOMAN. THE POLICE THOUGHT SHE MIGHT'VE BEEN ATTACKED NEAR HERE.

YEAH?

BUT SHE'S PUERTO RICAN, NOT JEWISH.

SO IT ISN'T, YOU KNOW...

WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE?

OH, COME ON, GERT. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US.

GERTRUDE,

WE'VE GOT TO START ENJOYING OURSELVES AGAIN.

I DON'T LIKE THIS PLACE, LULLY.

YOU... DO YOU MEAN, MOTHER?

OR... NO.

OR ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD?

I THOUGHT THINGS HAD CHANGED WHEN YOU SPOKE TO FRED AND CARLSON, BUT THEY HAVEN'T.

IT SEEMS THEY GOT WORSE.

SOMETIMES I THINK WE OUGHTA MOVE FROM HERE MAYBE, TO ANOTHER CITY.

NOW, LET'S EXAMINE THINGS, DEAR.

LULLY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA MAKE A LIFE FOR ME.

I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA GET TO STAY HOME AND FIX A PLACE FOR YOU.

I AIN'T EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO COOK SOMETHING NICE. I COOK GOOD.

I AIN'T EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO HANG UP CURTAINS.

- ALL IT'S BEEN IS TROUBLE AND MORE TROUBLE. - WHAT CAN I DO?

- THINK ABOUT IT. WHAT EXACTLY CAN I DO? - GO TO FRED.

GO TO FRED! GO TO FRED! I CAN'T.

LULLY, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

THEY'RE GONNA TAKE OVER THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AS SURE AS YOU'RE BORN,

AND I WANNA KNOW WHAT END OF THE BROOM WE'RE GONNA BE ON.

GOOD NIGHT. GOOD NIGHT, DEAR.

DO YOU FEEL THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL FINKELSTEIN WHERE TO LIVE?

OR FOR THAT MATTER, TO TELL US WHERE TO LIVE?

NO, BUT THEY DO.

EVERYBODY ON THE COAST WAS TALKING ABOUT IT.

THEY'LL HAVE SPECIAL NEIGHBORHOODS FOR ALL OF US, OR EVEN SPECIAL STATES.

OH, NONSENSE. THEY CAN'T DO THAT.

OF COURSE THEY CAN. LOOK WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN EUROPE!

I AM NOT GETTING DOWN ON MY KNEES TO FRED OR THAT GANG OF LUNATICS...

FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF LIVING IN MY OWN HOUSE.

WELL, WHEN THE WAR'S OVER AND THEY START CRACKING DOWN,

WE'LL FIND OURSELVES FORCED OUT OF HERE ALONG WITH FINKELSTEIN,

WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, I'M TELLING YOU.

I'LL GO TO FRED. MAYBE HE'LL LISTEN TO ME.

NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. LISTEN TO ME!

I FORBID IT. YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

GERT? GERTIE, COME ON.

LISTEN. FORGET IT. COME ON.

LET'S GO TO THE MOVIES, ALL RIGHT?

WE'LL WALK OVER, WE'LL CATCH A MOVIE.

I'LL SEE YOU SOON.

BOTH OF YOU BEHAVE.

DRIVE SAFE.

ARE YOU COLD?

NOT THAT MUCH. IT'S NICE OUT.

GERT, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE A LONG TRIP?

TO HOLLYWOOD, SAY?

IT'S CHEAP TO LIVE OUT THERE.

NO, NO. I MEAN, TO VISIT.

IS IT TRUE THAT YOU CAN BUY MAPS THAT TELL YOU WHERE THE STARS LIVE?

YEAH. BEVERLY HILLS.

EXCUSE ME.

THAT SEEM STRANGE?

NOT PARTICULARLY.

WHY WERE THEY STANDING AROUND THERE? WELL, MAYBE WAITING FOR SOMEONE.

YOU RECOGNIZE ANY OF 'EM? NO.

WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH US?

BETTER WE DON'T KNOW.

NO, NOT MY CHILD!

NO!

THEY CAN'T KILL THE CHILDREN JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE JEWISH.

WHY NOT?

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR, IKEY?

HEY, WE'RE WATCHING THIS!

THEY'RE JUST A BUNCH OF JERKS.

GERT, YOU'VE GOT TO STOP BEING THIS WAY.

I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO FRED ANYMORE.

I CAN'T ACT THAT WAY.

EVEN IF THEY DECIDED THAT I WAS ALL RIGHT,

I COULDN'T GO ALONG WITH THEM.

AND NEITHER COULD YOU. YOU'RE TOO FINE A PERSON.

YOU ARE!

TOO FINE.

GERT, I WAS THINKING.

WHEN THE WAR'S OVER, MAYBE YOU COULD STOP WORKING...

AND WE COULD THINK ABOUT HAVING A CHILD.

HEY, SAMMY, WHERE YOU GOIN'?

DIDN'T YOU HEAR HIM?

WHAT'S YOUR HURRY? HEY!

ALL RIGHT, NOW CUT THAT OUT!

HEY! NO! NO!

- LULLY! - RUN!

OH! STOP IT!

OH!

COME HERE!

- MR. NEWMAN! - AAH!

AAH!

AAH!

HOLD IT!

ALL RIGHT, YOU HEBE BASTARDS.

THIS WAS A WARM-UP.

- I AIN'T FINISHED WITH 'EM YET! - YOU'RE FINISHED! LET'S GO!

COME ON, BOYS, LET'S GO.

SHAKING? SO ARE YOU.

HERE.

EASY.

HOW'S YOUR HEART?

NOT WHAT IT WAS. ICE?

DO YOU HAVE ICE? IN THE BACK.

OVER THERE. OVER THERE.

HOLD IT AGAINST YOUR NOSE. KEEP YOUR HEAD BACK.

YOUR WIFE? IS YOUR WIFE HOME?

WEDNESDAY NIGHTS, SHE AND THE CHILDREN AND THE OLD MAN GO VISITING TO THE BRONX.

TO THE... TO THE RELATIVES.

DID IT STOP?

NO, NO, NO. KEEP-KEEP YOUR HEAD BACK.

I TELL YOU, MR. NEWMAN, WE WERE LUCKY, HUH?

I'M THINKING OF THAT WOMAN.

SHE DIED TONIGHT, YOU KNOW.

SHE DIED?

YEAH.

I DIDN'T KNOW.

IT'S A TRAGEDY, I MEAN, WHAT'S HAPPENING...

WHAT'S HAPPENING THESE DAYS.

PEOPLE MURDERING ONE ANOTHER, NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING.

ANYWAY, WE...

WE SHOWED THOSE BASTARDS SOMETHING, DIDN'T WE?

YEAH.

WILL YOU BE ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

THANK YOU, MR. FINKELSTEIN.

LULLY! OH, MY GOD!

YOUR FACE! WH-WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THERE?

I-I THOUGHT FRED COULD STOP IT FASTER. I...

- YOU WENT TO THE WRONG GUY. - I WANNA TALK TO YOU, LARRY.

THAT WOMAN DIED, FRED.

DID YOU KNOW? IT'S A HOMICIDE NOW.

I KNOW, BECAUSE I SAW PETEY RAPE HER THAT NIGHT.

SO WHAT ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT, FRED? HUH?

WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT?

OH, MY GOD.

OH.

LULLY. OH, WAIT.

LULLY! LULLY, WAIT!

DO YOU WANT ME TO CALL YOU AN AMBULANCE? NO.

ARE YOU HAVIN' SOME TROUBLE? MY NAME IS LAWRENCE NEWMAN.

I LIVE ON HARGROVE ROAD. I WAS ATTACKED AND BEATEN UP A LITTLE WHILE AGO.

HE ROB YOU? NO.

THERE WAS FIVE OF 'EM. FOUR YOUNGER FELLAS AND AN OLDER MAN.

UNION CRUSADERS. HOW DO YOU KNOW?

THEY'VE BEEN THREATENING TO DO IT FOR A LONG TIME NOW.

YOU KNOW THEM? WELL, I...

YOU KNOW ANY OF THEIR NAMES?

NO. YOU DON'T KNOW THEIR NAMES?

NO, I TOLD YOU, BUT I-I-I KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

I CAN'T GO LOOKIN' FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT NAMES.

I GOT NAMES.
