00:00The End

00:30Johnny, you better give Vinci's loan shocks the once-over.

00:32Okay.

00:33He won't give my outfit the once-over. Keep him away from it.

00:35What are you afraid of?

00:37I don't like the way your face is fastened on.

00:40Well, I'll be down tomorrow morning and give you a chance to change it.

00:43You're not running liquor anymore. You're in big business.

00:47I pulled you up out of the gutter.

00:49And you take a chance on ruining a $200 million gold vine to satisfy a grudge.

00:54Well, it's a fine way to pay me back for all I've done for you.

00:57Well, I wouldn't pay you back that way, Al.

01:00Well, I hear they cut the big shot detective down to side.

01:04Must be tough not being able to kick the boys around anymore.

01:07Making them tip their hat to you.

01:09But they still do.

01:12To a Bronx flatfoot.

01:13Fenner is Kruger's number one man.

01:31If anything happens to Kruger, and I'm going to see that it does,

01:35Fenner moves up.

01:36But I'm not going to let him, because I'm going to step into Mr. Fenner's shoes.

01:40You started this racket. You ought to have a share in it.

01:44I suppose Mr. Blake will let me have it.

01:46He'll have nothing to say about it. I'm running things from now on.

01:50If you want the Bronx and Harlem districts, they're yours.

01:53If you need protection, you'll get it.

01:56You don't trust me.

01:57I don't trust anybody.

02:00I've never seen it fail.

02:02Whenever mugs get into a scrap, the first thing they do is they start knighting each other.

02:07Say, I thought you were smart, Al.

02:09Keep on talking.

02:11Finally got wise to you. You're through.

02:14No, no. I'm just starting.

02:16Copper!

02:16No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

02:46Motor!

02:47Motor!

02:50Motor!

02:59Motor!

03:00Motor!
