Film Noir Classic | Against the House (1955) | Full Movie HD
Dive into the shadowy world of mid-century film noir with Kim Novak, Brian Keith, and Guy Madison in Against the House (1955) — a gripping tale of temptation, deceit, and moral reckoning that defines the golden age of noir cinema.

In this moody and atmospheric drama, a down-on-his-luck gambler is drawn into a deadly game where trust is currency and betrayal is inevitable. With its smoky jazz score, stark chiaroscuro lighting, and femme-fatale tension, Against the House evokes the signature visual and emotional style of postwar noir — where every shadow hides a secret.

Directed in the vein of classic noir masters like Robert Siodmak and Edward Dmytryk, the film reflects the turbulent psychology of mid-1950s America, exploring greed, love, and the illusion of control. Kim Novak shines as a conflicted woman trapped between loyalty and desire, while Guy Madison’s hardened exterior masks a man haunted by his own past.

00:00:00You
00:02:59Killed in action, sir.
00:03:01Yes, indeed.
00:03:01I don't want to bother you, boys, but it is now 11-3.
00:03:17Yeah, man, let's go where the money is.
00:03:19Yeah, man.
00:03:20Is this the place where the people live who want to give us all this money?
00:03:38This must be the place.
00:03:40This is my infallible roulette system.
00:03:42Now he has a system.
00:03:44Well, if you've got a system, you might as well get it out of your system.
00:03:47That's what I was saying.
00:03:48And you know he always does say that?
00:03:50Sir, I wonder if you'd arrange to have a Brinks armored car at the side door in about an hour.
00:03:54I expect to be making a gold shipment about then.
00:03:56We're the first.
00:03:58Where are his male nurses?
00:03:58We're the first.
00:03:59We're the first.
00:03:59We're the first.
00:04:00We're the first.
00:04:01We're the first.
00:04:02okay
00:04:18you guys
00:04:32You got seven there, Peg?
00:04:53Madam, would you give up the sinful life of gambling if the right man came along?
00:05:04I might.
00:05:06Excuse me?
00:05:08How's the play?
00:05:09I put it down, they pick it up.
00:05:12You're putting it down in the right place.
00:05:14That could explain it.
00:05:16Aren't you playing?
00:05:17Well, I'd like to, but I just get a nosebleed every time I see that happening to my money.
00:05:22Does it bother you when it's my money that's going?
00:05:25No, not as long as you assure me you've got plenty more.
00:05:29One, Red.
00:05:31You mind my standing here?
00:05:33I haven't called for a guard, have I?
00:05:36Oh, you're just getting away.
00:05:37All right.
00:05:39Six, you're out now. Six, you're in.
00:05:41Jackpot.
00:05:44Give it up.
00:05:45Our 152, the giant jackpot, $50.
00:05:49Bonus, our 152.
00:05:51Good luck to you, sir.
00:05:53You're welcome.
00:05:54You must leave the clean line.
00:05:56Yeah, and up until now, it's been driving me crazy.
00:06:0321 red.
00:06:06I know this system is infallible because I worked it out myself.
00:06:11I suppose I could be reading it wrong.
00:06:12Five, five, five.
00:06:19One, two, five.
00:06:20Oh, boy.
00:06:28Now I can buy that atom-powered steam shovel I've always wanted.
00:06:31With that?
00:06:31Of course, it's completely ridiculous.
00:06:39I didn't know she was a con.
00:06:41So it was right after that my poor old gray-haired mother said to me, she said, Rick, son, I just know you're going to be terribly attractive to women.
00:06:49And I do so hope you're not going to be a beast about it.
00:06:52Tell me, have you been a beast about it?
00:06:54Well, certainly.
00:06:55What did my poor old gray-haired mother know about fun?
00:06:57It is now 11-19.
00:07:01I don't like to wear a watch.
00:07:05I hired him to follow me around, tell me what time it is.
00:07:07All right.
00:07:07Here we come back.
00:07:0825 red.
00:07:10Well, this is it.
00:07:22Didn't you explain to him that your system was infallible?
00:07:25I mean, there was someone I forgot to tell.
00:07:27I got a cash check.
00:07:30And only someone whose father owned an oil company could afford that system.
00:07:33You've always hated me just because my family has money.
00:07:36No, I have a lot better reasons than that.
00:07:40Phew.
00:07:44What?
00:07:45It is now 11-51.
00:07:48The old lamplighter.
00:07:54You see that?
00:07:55The line read the repeater.
00:07:58So that mare?
00:07:59You know what that's for?
00:08:00Yeah, so tall Texans can see to comb their hair.
00:08:04These are observation posts.
00:08:06Guards sit up there and keep an eye on them.
00:08:19Pardon me.
00:08:22I'm writing a new telephone book, and I'd like to include your name and number.
00:08:24Eight, six, and out.
00:08:26Phew.
00:08:28I don't know if he told you, but he's only 13 years old.
00:08:31He gone, sir.
00:08:33I am the oldest 13 you'll ever run into.
00:08:37They're cute.
00:08:41Hold it all.
00:08:42Hold it all.
00:08:46Hold it all.
00:08:48Hold it all.
00:08:48Hold it all.
00:08:51Pardon me, please.
00:08:53Excuse me.
00:08:56I'll need one of those when my system starts working.
00:08:59By then, you'll be too old to push it.
00:09:05Can you handle that for me?
00:09:10Don't make me have to shoot.
00:09:12How would you like this, sir?
00:09:13Any particular denomination?
00:09:14Any denomination will do.
00:09:15Cashier number three.
00:09:25Guy in a gray suit, gray hat.
00:09:26Two guys backing him up.
00:09:28The gun's in the magazine.
00:09:30He's home.
00:09:30Hey, Steve.
00:09:34Coming right out.
00:09:35Coming right out on the old come-out road.
00:09:37Come out out of your left hand.
00:09:38You win out of the service.
00:09:40Just hand us that magazine.
00:09:41What magazine?
00:09:42What's going on here?
00:09:43Yeah, what's going on?
00:09:44Take it easy, and no one will get hurt.
00:09:46Hand me that check, please.
00:09:47$5,000, or I'll blow your head off.
00:09:56Okay, friend.
00:09:57Let's not disturb the customers.
00:09:58Let's go.
00:09:59What's going on?
00:10:00What's going on here?
00:10:02What's going on here?
00:10:04You're early, man.
00:10:06I win.
00:10:08Yeah.
00:10:09Nice.
00:10:10I feel low, man.
00:10:11I haven't seen that name.
00:10:17Hey, wait a minute.
00:10:25Who's in charge?
00:10:26Who's that?
00:10:27I'm asking.
00:10:28What are you arresting them?
00:10:29These characters have flipped.
00:10:30He's behind in his quota for the night.
00:10:31Shut up, both of you.
00:10:33I asked you why you were arresting them.
00:10:34Who are you?
00:10:35A friend of theirs.
00:10:37We're on our way back to Midwestern University from somewhere job.
00:10:39We stopped in here to have a drink and a few laughs.
00:10:43Well, tell him the truth.
00:10:46Well, there's a real Democratic guy.
00:10:49Hates everybody.
00:10:49Look, I told you we were students.
00:10:51Yeah, yeah, I'm not kidding.
00:10:53Don't have anything to do with him.
00:10:56All right, show him your last year's students cards.
00:11:00I never saw them before.
00:11:05Sorry, boys.
00:11:06One of those things.
00:11:08What happened in there?
00:11:09And then tried a real crazy stunt.
00:11:11Attempted robbery, he means.
00:11:13Could be crazy enough to try and rob Harold's place.
00:11:16Are you kidding?
00:11:17Because that's where the money is.
00:11:19Ten thousand people a day gamble in there.
00:11:22Every now and then some wise Joe figures are smart angles.
00:11:25It'd be easier to knock off Fort Knox.
00:11:28There's no way it could be done.
00:11:30Well, gentlemen, you missed out on all the fun.
00:11:38I did not.
00:11:40I would like to make one of my deathless remarks now.
00:11:44There may be something better than sex, some worse.
00:11:47But there's nothing quite like it.
00:11:51That was kind of a deathless remark at that.
00:11:53It is now ten minutes to twelve.
00:11:55Why don't you care anymore?
00:11:56Well, let's hop in the old car, drive back to the old college,
00:11:59dig into those old studies, and start taking out those old, old, old college gals again.
00:12:02Ha-ha!
00:12:02You with me?
00:12:03Yeah, but I wish everybody didn't know it.
00:12:17Finally pass the butter, Mabel, you will find it over there.
00:12:21In the corner of each paddy you will find a dark brown hair.
00:12:26Bum, bum.
00:12:28That's a song.
00:12:29Sure, it's an excerpt from Beethoven's 12th.
00:12:31Beethoven must have written that one underwater with broken pencils.
00:12:34Broken fingers.
00:12:35Where are we, anyway?
00:12:36Well, he wants to know where he is.
00:12:37Kansas someplace.
00:12:38300 miles to go.
00:12:40What are you loafing for?
00:12:4185 miles an hour, he's loafing.
00:12:43Anything going 85 miles an hour is a guided missile.
00:12:46Are you still worrying about getting back to Kay?
00:12:48Now, what has she got?
00:12:49I'll tell you what she's got.
00:12:50Don't tell him.
00:12:51Don't tell him.
00:12:51Why?
00:12:52I don't want him to know.
00:12:53Okay.
00:12:54Hey, about that cop in Reno saying you couldn't rob Harold's Club.
00:12:57What did he mean it couldn't be done?
00:13:00Oh, it beats me.
00:13:01Anything can be done.
00:13:05Of course it could be done.
00:13:08Kindy pass the butter, Mabel, you will find it over there.
00:13:12In the corner of each paddy you will find a dark brown hair.
00:13:16Ah.
00:13:27Hats off, freshman.
00:13:52What's your name, boy?
00:13:54Uh, Spiegelbauer, sir.
00:13:56Francis Spiegelbauer.
00:13:57I see.
00:13:58Well, son, men have overcome greater handicaps than that.
00:14:01But I have loose teeth, you see.
00:14:03I think I'll just call you Spiegel.
00:14:04Okay?
00:14:04Yes, sir.
00:14:05Good lad.
00:14:06Oh, here's the Spiegel.
00:14:07Every year we choose a freshman to help us with a few chores we have to have done.
00:14:10Since the work sort of piled up last year, they all thought we'd get two freshmen this year.
00:14:13But you look like you could do the work of two men.
00:14:15Head on, Spiegel.
00:14:15Now, first, in there is some of our luggage.
00:14:20Suitcases, heavy articles.
00:14:21In there is where we live.
00:14:22Your job is to transport one inside the other.
00:14:24Understand?
00:14:25Are you sure I have to do this?
00:14:27Yes, I'm sure.
00:14:28Are you sure?
00:14:29Oh, I'm sure.
00:14:30Well, what I mean is, in the booklet that the university sent me, they said they didn't
00:14:35haze freshmen here anymore.
00:14:37That's right, Spiegel.
00:14:38You see, the fellows who wrote the booklet don't haze freshmen here anymore.
00:14:42Oh.
00:14:43See?
00:14:44Carry on, Spiegel.
00:14:45Spiegel.
00:14:45Spiegel.
00:14:46For work, Spiegel.
00:14:57It's wonderful to hear your voice again, Kay.
00:15:00No, I mean it.
00:15:01Don't you think he'd be embarrassed to talk like that in front of us?
00:15:04No, I'm not embarrassed.
00:15:06But if a couple of characters I know don't stop listening in, I may be crowded into a little
00:15:10violence.
00:15:11Ruffian.
00:15:13Hmm?
00:15:13Yeah, cats and jammer kids, honey.
00:15:16Oh, they're fine, fine.
00:15:17A little more mentally retarded, perhaps, but fine.
00:15:21Yeah.
00:15:23Surprise.
00:15:25Well, that makes me nervous.
00:15:27Yeah, I wanted everything just exactly the way it was when I left.
00:15:31Look at him.
00:15:44See how happy he is?
00:15:47Why, just a few short hours ago, he didn't know a soul in this college.
00:15:53And now, he has friends.
00:15:57I'm telling you, it makes a man appreciate the American educational system.
00:16:00Spiegel.
00:16:01You see what a deep thinker he is?
00:16:02You should feel privileged to know a man who thinks that deeply.
00:16:05Yes, sir.
00:16:06Can I ask a question?
00:16:09Why not?
00:16:10Why not Spalene just a little?
00:16:12Go ahead.
00:16:13Well, the guys in the next room said that Al and Brick were in Korea together.
00:16:16So?
00:16:17Well, they said that Brick saved Al's life.
00:16:19So?
00:16:20They said that Brick got a medal and a bad head wound doing it.
00:16:23So?
00:16:24Well, so nothing.
00:16:25That's what the guys in the next room said.
00:16:27Don't pay any attention to them.
00:16:28They're drunk most of the time.
00:16:30Were you two guys in Korea?
00:16:32What's that?
00:16:33I said, were you two in Korea?
00:16:36Are you questioning our patriotism?
00:16:38Why, no.
00:16:38I suppose you think we wouldn't have been there if it hadn't been for our liver conditions.
00:16:41I suppose you think it's fun to have a liver condition and never get to go to any wars with the rest of the guys.
00:16:44Well, I didn't mean anything.
00:16:45Well, you just better take it easy and watch who you call yellow from now on.
00:16:48Whom?
00:16:49Yeah, who?
00:16:49I didn't call home yellow.
00:16:51Get on with your work, Spiggy.
00:16:52Yeah.
00:16:52Yes, sir.
00:16:53Phew.
00:16:58How's Kate?
00:16:59She got a surprise for me.
00:17:00Maybe she's turned into a boy.
00:17:02That girl?
00:17:03Wants to be in a meeting at the campus club tonight.
00:17:06What that could mean?
00:17:07Any number of things.
00:17:08None of them too good from your standpoint.
00:17:10What are you talking about?
00:17:11Now I'm supposed to know what I'm talking about.
00:17:12Well, it'd ruin all your charm.
00:17:14Uh-huh.
00:17:15Eh.
00:17:15Spiggy, don't just stand there and move, boy, move.
00:17:18I don't stay home anymore
00:17:32If there's somewhere to go
00:17:36I just go along for the ride
00:17:42They call me the life of the party
00:17:48They don't know that I'm crying inside
00:17:55If there's a dance or a show
00:17:59You'll find me around
00:18:03I'm always laughing it up
00:18:07With a crowd
00:18:09They call me the life of the party
00:18:15But my poor heart is crying out loud
00:18:22I'm making new friends and seeing new people
00:18:27Doing the town until three
00:18:30It's all I can do
00:18:34Not to think about you
00:18:37Though I know you're not thinking
00:18:41Of me
00:18:44So I'll dance every night
00:18:48And I'll play every game
00:18:51I'm the last one to say
00:18:55My goodbye
00:18:57And it's then that the life
00:19:01Of the party
00:19:04Goes home
00:19:08All alone
00:19:11To cry
00:19:14I don't get it
00:19:22How'd this happen?
00:19:24You left she was working in a department store
00:19:25This must be the surprise
00:19:27Hi Kay
00:19:30Welcome home boys
00:19:31I think you gentlemen made a mistake
00:19:36Your table's over there
00:19:38He's ashamed of us
00:19:40We were dead
00:19:41That's right
00:19:42I'll be back in a minute
00:19:44I want to get out of the singing dress
00:19:46And you know she's right
00:19:49That dress actually does sing
00:19:51Why don't you
00:19:53You guys go ahead and order
00:19:55I want to talk to Kay privately
00:19:56What's with you
00:19:57You on a diet or something?
00:19:59Diet?
00:20:00It's at least 2,500 calories he's following
00:20:03Hey, when did all this happen?
00:20:16About two weeks ago
00:20:17It began as a joke
00:20:18It began as a joke
00:20:18Not that it hasn't gone right on being that
00:20:21A bunch of us came in one night
00:20:22And someone dared me to get up and sing
00:20:24So you know me
00:20:25I don't know whether I know you or not
00:20:27The girl I knew couldn't sing a note
00:20:29Nothing's changed
00:20:33It's just that the management thinks I can
00:20:35And they're willing to pay for their opinions
00:20:36Now you tell me
00:20:38How was the summer?
00:20:40I wrote you
00:20:41There has never been such a long, long summer
00:20:43Well, I'm glad to see that all the time
00:20:47You were wasting away from me
00:20:48You weren't forgetting to eat some of those cows
00:20:49You were punching
00:20:50Same old story, Al
00:20:51You just won't believe anything I tell you
00:20:53About how I feel
00:20:54Don't you want me to feel the way I do?
00:20:58I'd tell you if I didn't
00:20:59I know that, Sue
00:21:00What is it?
00:21:02Al, I grew up in this town
00:21:03I've been dating college boys
00:21:06Since I was old enough to be noticed by them
00:21:07Well, that, I agree
00:21:08Must have been horrible
00:21:09It's no trick for a girl
00:21:10To be busy in a college town
00:21:12And these weren't cheap little liars, Al
00:21:15They meant it, I guess
00:21:16But there's something about being away to college
00:21:19Makes for deep and lasting love affairs
00:21:22Which are forgotten
00:21:23The minute graduation's over
00:21:25Yeah
00:21:26You know, you've got a real rough life
00:21:32And I wish there was some way I could make it up to you
00:21:36Okay, but you asked me for the reason I couldn't take you too seriously
00:21:40And you haven't answered me
00:21:42Look, this isn't my first trip away from home
00:21:46And it's only technical
00:21:47That I'm one of the Bula Bula boys at all
00:21:50You're not all that old
00:21:51No, but I'm all that experienced
00:21:53That I know the difference between a few early fumblings with a girl
00:21:57And something that's nice and lasting that's happened
00:21:59And it's time you begin realizing that I know the difference
00:22:03This summer, if anything, has only made you more lovable
00:22:07And willing to admit it
00:22:10Would you care to dance?
00:22:14No, but it's part of my duties here
00:22:16Whatever will the other B-girls think?
00:22:21But you've finally gotten a live one
00:22:23Want a light?
00:22:38Okay
00:22:38I'm a stranger in town
00:22:41Can you direct me to your house?
00:22:45To lose the address?
00:22:47Well, I've been wrestling cows all summer
00:22:49I know, riding hand got all cramped up
00:22:51Oh, I see
00:22:51How are the cows out west?
00:22:53Oh, you mean the cows?
00:22:56Well
00:22:56Look
00:22:58I guess I must have been all crossed up last spring
00:23:01I thought you and I were a big, hot, breathless item
00:23:04They're not even a card this summer
00:23:06Well, Gene, I meant to call you
00:23:09I really did
00:23:10Oh, fine
00:23:10I feel much better
00:23:11How could you possibly feel any better?
00:23:17Hmm?
00:23:22Real cozy
00:23:23Look, buddy
00:23:27Why don't you come back to your table
00:23:28Before somebody eats up your minimum?
00:23:31She happens to belong with me, pal
00:23:32Only in spirit, son
00:23:34You get back inside
00:23:38I know all about you, pal
00:23:45A real war hero
00:23:47One of the fruit salad boys
00:23:50Well, how do you like your beatings, huh?
00:23:55Standing up or on the ground?
00:23:57Don't crowd me, Mac
00:23:58You better leave it late, Junior
00:24:05You better leave it late, Junior
00:24:05Get him out of your foot
00:24:23Oh, Captain
00:24:24Rick, ah
00:24:25Rick
00:24:26Get me out
00:24:28Now
00:24:29Come on, Rick
00:24:53Come on
00:24:55Here, Rick
00:25:06Listen to me, Rick
00:25:15You know, it might not be a bad idea
00:25:19Going back to the vet's hospital
00:25:21I'm not going back
00:25:22Just a checkup
00:25:23I'm not going back
00:25:23I don't want any part of that cage
00:25:25Well, they were only trying to help you
00:25:27They treat you like an animal
00:25:29Like something under a rock
00:25:30All the time telling you you're psycho
00:25:33A lot of guys went through shock like you did
00:25:35Look, Al
00:25:36I'm okay
00:25:37I'm okay
00:25:37Sure, sure
00:25:39You're okay
00:25:40You're in great shape
00:25:41But it still wouldn't hurt to have a checkup
00:25:42Look, lay off of me, will you?
00:25:45You want to get rid of me?
00:25:47What's the matter?
00:25:48You tired of having me hanging on your back?
00:25:49Okay, I'll get out of here
00:25:50I'll get out now
00:25:50You're not going anywhere
00:25:52They told you to call, didn't they, huh?
00:25:54Give us a call, Captain
00:25:55In case 3742 starts going off his rocker again
00:25:57I'm not making any calls
00:25:58Are you sure?
00:26:02Sure
00:26:03Hey
00:26:15You know, you
00:26:27You really could have hurt that kid at the club
00:26:31I know
00:26:33What do you think's going to happen to you if you're
00:26:39Be sensible, Brick?
00:26:45Go over and have a talk with the doc
00:26:47Look, Al, I'm a lot better now
00:26:54This isn't going to happen again
00:26:56I just had a couple of drinks too many
00:26:58Sure, sure
00:26:59That's what you set up in San Francisco last year
00:27:01With that cab driver
00:27:02Yeah, but Al, these things take time
00:27:04That's all I need
00:27:04Just a little time
00:27:05Sure
00:27:07If the doctors hear about tonight
00:27:13It's going to sound a lot worse than it was
00:27:15Yeah, they won't hear about it
00:27:16You won't say anything, Al?
00:27:18I won't say anything, I promise
00:27:19Brick, you're going to
00:27:28You're going to have to watch yourself
00:27:31I know
00:27:33It'll work out
00:27:36It'll work out
00:27:39Well, this is the last time I'm going to double date with you
00:28:07You know, she's danced like seven miles of unpaved road
00:28:10Spiggy's got better taste than you have
00:28:13I'm going to starve
00:28:13What's happening to me?
00:28:15How could you trap me like this?
00:28:19What's the matter with Brick?
00:28:21Nothing a good night's sleep won't cure
00:28:23Well, that's the trouble with liquor
00:28:26You take one drink and it makes a new man out of you
00:28:29Then the new man has to have a drink too
00:28:32Quote and unquote
00:28:34You can tell me your troubles
00:28:49How's Brick?
00:28:52Brick?
00:28:53Oh, he's fine, fine
00:28:55Why?
00:28:57Why did the men at the club say he ought to be put away?
00:29:00The guy that said that ought to be put away
00:29:01Brick's okay
00:29:02Like last night?
00:29:05Well, he had one too many
00:29:06Then how come you're so quiet today?
00:29:12Well, since you brought it up, I'll tell you
00:29:14It all started about the time I met you
00:29:17Others have complained about that before
00:29:19What are the symptoms?
00:29:22Well, studying that used to take me one hour
00:29:25Now it takes me half the night
00:29:26In the middle of a law lecture
00:29:28I suddenly find I'm repeating the marriage ceremony to myself
00:29:31Now, would you say this is significant?
00:29:34No
00:29:34Frightening's the word I'd use
00:29:36You know, I've been places where
00:29:38If you didn't make up your mind in a hurry
00:29:40You never got a second chance
00:29:41Honey, you're not in Korea anymore
00:29:46Nobody's gonna drop a bomb on you now
00:29:50I'd better do something
00:29:51What do you want to do, Al?
00:29:55Get married
00:29:55Now?
00:29:59Yesterday would have been better
00:30:00What's the big rush?
00:30:04What's the matter with being sure of ourselves?
00:30:06I'm so sure of myself
00:30:07Now I'm nearly dead from it
00:30:09I guess that's a roadblock
00:30:13You're not
00:30:13I may look like the blonde bombshell
00:30:16Who's been every place and done everything
00:30:17But I'm not
00:30:19And all these big emotions are
00:30:22Are wonderful
00:30:23But they just kind of scare me, too
00:30:26Look
00:30:26Why don't you just relax, huh?
00:30:29No, I'm like you, I can't
00:30:31I want to get married today
00:30:34Just as much as you do
00:30:35But then when it's tough to think about it
00:30:38I
00:30:38I get so scared
00:30:40I
00:30:40I just want to run
00:30:41What's a good word?
00:30:58There aren't any good words
00:30:59They don't make good words the way they used to
00:31:01Don't just stand there, Speegy
00:31:03Run around, do something
00:31:04I don't want your muscles to stiffen up
00:31:06Yes, sir
00:31:07Tear on over and get cokes for everybody, Speegy
00:31:09I tell you, that boy's getting lazy
00:31:13Well, he had the audacity to ask me to brush my own teeth this morning
00:31:16They don't make freshmen the way they used to
00:31:18No, they've even quit trying
00:31:19Hi, Brick
00:31:21Hi
00:31:21Hi, hi
00:31:22Are you coming to our Halloween dance tonight, Brick?
00:31:27Probably not
00:31:28It's gonna be one of the best dances of the year
00:31:31Sweetheart
00:31:32Sweetheart
00:31:32Let me tell you something
00:31:35I wonder if now is the time when any of us should be dancing
00:31:39When we don't know if little orphan Annie's ever gonna find Daddy Warbucks
00:31:43She's just got to
00:31:45I know
00:31:46I know
00:31:47Maybe one of your own would taste better
00:31:53No, it's not that I'm suffering from something
00:31:56I think it's the edges off of everything blues
00:32:00Maybe you should organize a panty raid
00:32:02No, no, it goes deeper than that
00:32:04I don't want to get drunk
00:32:06I'm sick of being sober
00:32:07I've seen both movies in town
00:32:09It's the mid-semester whim-whams
00:32:11What you need's a nice girl
00:32:14Child
00:32:16What I need's got nothing to do with nice girls
00:32:20I know what Brick means, I've got it myself
00:32:22Bored with classes that have just begun and notes I haven't taken yet
00:32:26Bored with being in a place that's run by thinkers and not doers
00:32:30I come from a family that does things
00:32:33Well, they can afford to
00:32:34Family that does things first
00:32:36It's what I need in my life, a big first
00:32:39You guys ever hear of a man named Schliemann?
00:32:43Sure
00:32:44Played first base for the Giants
00:32:45And later invented a plastic breakfast food
00:32:47He dug up the ancient city of Troy in Greece
00:32:50Hey, what a cat to dig Troy
00:32:52It was a first, get my point?
00:32:55Well, I couldn't hope to do that
00:32:57That's what we've got to think of
00:32:58To pull ourselves out of the swamp
00:32:59To be first at something
00:33:01Like the guy who flew under the London Bridge
00:33:04Characters who stole the Stone of Scone in England
00:33:07Just like Pleinhauser
00:33:08Who was Pleinhauser?
00:33:10Just the first guy to be called Pleinhauser, that's all
00:33:12He's right, though
00:33:14This boy's got a point
00:33:15Everybody's got a headache today
00:33:17We're living in the aspirin age
00:33:18It's really very simple, Mr. Cruikshank
00:33:22Now, wait a minute
00:33:23What if I file these?
00:33:24Up yourself
00:33:25You bet me five dollars I can't do what?
00:33:29It's a very simple bet
00:33:30Now, you're sitting right here where I'm sitting
00:33:32Follow me?
00:33:33Yeah
00:33:33I pour a glass of water on the floor
00:33:35Right here
00:33:36Yeah
00:33:36You've got a knife in your hands
00:33:38A knife
00:33:38Now, I'll bet you five bucks
00:33:40That I can dry up the water
00:33:42Before you stab me on the hands with a knife
00:33:44All right
00:33:47Who's got a knife?
00:33:51Are these a regular issue for law students?
00:33:54I've been getting into a lot of strange closets lately
00:33:56Dangerous moths
00:33:58Now, you sit right where I was sitting
00:34:00Now, remember
00:34:11Five bucks
00:34:12If I dry up the water
00:34:14Before you stab my hands
00:34:15Speegy, are you sure?
00:34:18I mean the blood
00:34:19I'm sure
00:34:20Now, are you ready?
00:34:21Okay
00:34:22One
00:34:23Two
00:34:25Three
00:34:26They grow up fast these days
00:34:31Pay me
00:34:32I'll bet you five dollars
00:34:39That you never get the five dollars I owe you
00:34:41And having won that bet, we're even
00:34:43So quit worrying about money and get to work
00:34:45Yes, sir
00:34:46Something you invented?
00:34:52Glad to meet you, mister
00:34:58Hope I don't have to kill you
00:35:00Special research
00:35:03What for?
00:35:04What's my crime?
00:35:05Remember what that cop said in Harold's Club
00:35:07When we got involved in that holdup?
00:35:09He said
00:35:09There's no way it could be done
00:35:11He should only know
00:35:13You mean you've been thinking about it all this time?
00:35:15I've worked out a plan
00:35:16How to rob Harold's Club of a million dollars
00:35:19Maybe more
00:35:19How much time you figure on researching our penal system?
00:35:23When I say a plan
00:35:24I mean one where you'd walk away free and clear
00:35:26You know what Bitsy Brain's doing now?
00:35:32Last year he planned to drain Foster's Lake
00:35:34And collect all the pennies that have been thrown there for the last 130 years
00:35:37He figured it amount to over 70,000 dollars
00:35:41A man has never appreciated in his own century
00:35:43Yeah, well maybe when you get out of prison in the next one
00:35:46You'll be with people that understand your language
00:35:47You really think you could knock off Harold's Club?
00:35:51A joint that's open 24 hours a day
00:35:52Seven days a week
00:35:5352 weeks out of the year
00:35:54With over a thousand people in it every second
00:35:56I do
00:35:56The main cash vault is right in the middle of the floor of the gambling room
00:36:00It looks like the Rock of Gibraltar
00:36:01And opens like the Panama Canal
00:36:03There's two doors
00:36:04Both steel barred
00:36:05And one doesn't open until the other's closed
00:36:07Oh great, that's a cinch
00:36:08All you need is a hairpin and a toy hammer, huh?
00:36:10Got that all worked out
00:36:11The only thing left I've got to figure
00:36:13Is how to leave Reno without a trace
00:36:15This boy's got a little Dillinger blood in him
00:36:17This boy has a spirit of adventure in his heart
00:36:19You really think you could do it?
00:36:22Oh, I could do it all right
00:36:23The question is, would I do it?
00:36:25Of course I wouldn't keep the money if I did
00:36:27Now he's a communist, he hates money
00:36:30He's a crazy mixed up rich kid
00:36:32Another worst kind, you know
00:36:33Yeah
00:36:34Okay, Mr. First, what's the gimmick?
00:36:38I wouldn't mind being first with a million bucks myself
00:36:40You lousy steel jack
00:36:45I'll gut you and shoot my way out of here
00:36:47It's all done with psychology
00:36:50A simple and basic motivation
00:36:53Fear, gentlemen
00:36:54In this case, worth one million dollars
00:36:58Gee
00:36:59A million bucks
00:37:01More I wouldn't be afraid
00:37:03I'd be petrified
00:37:05I'd be petrified
00:37:35This must be the place where they rehearsed tobacco road
00:37:38Now, why would he want a trailer?
00:37:41Well, to transport his old money to the scrap heap, perhaps
00:37:44Or to take his old girlfriends in for a retread job, perhaps
00:37:47I bought both the car and the trailer
00:37:48And I did it without leaving a single trace
00:37:50This is desirable?
00:37:51I used a fictitious name
00:37:52And bought them across the state line
00:37:53From the Schmeiling Dutchman
00:37:55Who must be laughing out loud after this deal?
00:37:57You sure you didn't steal it?
00:37:58Does this look like I stole it?
00:38:00How can I think when I'm blinded?
00:38:02These folks must have clipped a coupon last night
00:38:04Or sole estate?
00:38:05Well, it's just a small one
00:38:06Rhode Island, wasn't it, Ronnie?
00:38:08It's a perfect setup
00:38:09One guy drives
00:38:10The others hide inside, out of sight
00:38:11No one can trace it back
00:38:13According to law I've studied
00:38:15It's a misdemeanor
00:38:17To ride in a trailer
00:38:18When it is in motion
00:38:19You think a couple misdemeanors
00:38:21Is going to bother Ronnie?
00:38:22He's only interested in felonies
00:38:24Yeah, but you're still going to have to stop
00:38:26For gas, oil, and water
00:38:27Everything you need
00:38:28You'd carry in the trailer
00:38:29Gasoline, drinking water
00:38:31Canning food
00:38:32Dynamite for blasting out of jail
00:38:33Thanksgiving's a perfect time for it
00:38:35It's Jamboree Week in Reno
00:38:36And everybody wears cowboy outfits
00:38:38And false beers
00:38:39It's like a western Mardi Gras
00:38:40You, uh
00:38:42You're talking like this could be done
00:38:43I mean actually
00:38:45It can be done, Brick
00:38:47And I mean actually
00:38:47So what?
00:38:48None of us are going to do it
00:38:49Why not?
00:38:50Call it a field experiment in psychology
00:38:52It's not what we call it that matters
00:38:54If we don't keep the money
00:38:55We're not committing any actual crime
00:38:57Suppose they grab us
00:38:57Before we get a chance to show them
00:38:59We weren't going to keep the money
00:38:59They won't
00:39:00I tell you I've got everything worked out
00:39:01And it's foolproof
00:39:02We leave the trailer in Reno
00:39:03We board a train
00:39:04And we're out of town
00:39:05Before anybody knows
00:39:06We've even been there
00:39:07Jamboree
00:39:08What are you shutting up about?
00:39:11It all takes place in seven minutes
00:39:12At the first stop
00:39:13We get on the phone
00:39:14And let them know where the money is
00:39:15Well, you know me
00:39:17Always the first one
00:39:17To tear down the gold post
00:39:18Or any other red-blooded college prank
00:39:20Please, don't talk about blood
00:39:22What else do you need?
00:39:24A cart
00:39:24We'd have to build a cart
00:39:26Just like the one we saw
00:39:27At Harold's Club
00:39:27And we'd need another guy
00:39:30Why?
00:39:31Well, the plan calls for four guys
00:39:32To make it work
00:39:33Do you think Al would go for it?
00:39:38Not if he knew what he was doing
00:39:39The last couple of days
00:39:41I promise you he hasn't
00:39:43You think it would work with Al
00:39:46If he didn't know it was up
00:39:47Till the last minute?
00:39:48You really need him
00:39:52It might be fun
00:39:56If we all did it together
00:39:57Clear out the attic, Mother
00:40:00I'm having in a few friends to hide
00:40:01It's easier than swallowing goldfish
00:40:03Well, who said I want to do that either?
00:40:05About Al
00:40:06Yeah
00:40:07I gotta have four guys
00:40:08How about Speaky?
00:40:12You got Al
00:40:12Speaky
00:40:14Ancient Mariner
00:40:35Ah, very funny
00:40:37What are you doing here, Brick?
00:40:39Thought you were backing
00:40:39How's Kay doing?
00:40:41Oh, fine, fine
00:40:42Took three encores tonight
00:40:43And she'll be out of the shower
00:40:46In five minutes
00:40:47You're getting to be
00:40:48A regular nightclub Johnny, aren't you?
00:40:50Yeah, I like it
00:40:51Listen
00:40:52The guys insist you come along
00:40:54Vacation starts tomorrow
00:40:55We go to Reno a couple of days
00:40:56And then up to Ronnie's ranch
00:40:58Why drive all that distance?
00:41:00Well, everybody gets their own
00:41:01Private monogram turkey
00:41:02Maybe we win a couple of dollars
00:41:04At roulette
00:41:05I can have more fun ride here
00:41:08You know, it might do you
00:41:11In case I'm good
00:41:12Not to see each other
00:41:12For a week or so
00:41:13You know the old gag
00:41:14About absence
00:41:15Makes the
00:41:16Thump
00:41:16Yeah, I know that old gag
00:41:19Brick, this year
00:41:21We're stuffing our turkey
00:41:22With dressing rooms
00:41:23Not dressing
00:41:24Who is it?
00:41:40Why?
00:41:42No reason
00:41:42Except I'm just out of the shower
00:41:44You know, I never told you
00:41:49But I used to have a job
00:41:50In a lady's Turkish bath
00:41:51Hey, what about those Turkish women?
00:41:53Pretty cute?
00:41:54Yeah, but they all hurt Turkish men
00:41:56Oh, you do get the bat breaks, don't you?
00:41:58Mm-hmm
00:41:59You know, a soap opera
00:42:00Is a fast, funny, miserable
00:42:01Part of my life
00:42:02However, there are moments
00:42:08I wouldn't trade for
00:42:09Mountains of uranium
00:42:10You know, I've been doing
00:42:13A lot of thinking about us
00:42:15Oh?
00:42:16You too?
00:42:18You told me the boys
00:42:19You should go along with them to Reno
00:42:20Oh, it's Thanksgiving holidays
00:42:22Yeah, Brick's outside now
00:42:24Trying to sign me on
00:42:24You know why they should want me
00:42:26With my sad face
00:42:27Is more than I can figure
00:42:28You know, I was thinking
00:42:31That if you went along with them
00:42:33And we didn't see each other
00:42:35Until after you got back
00:42:36Well, I just thought that
00:42:40That it would give us a week
00:42:41To get away from each other
00:42:43And just kind of think things over
00:42:45Sure
00:42:47Don't get sore out
00:42:52Just that
00:42:54Look, you don't have to explain anything to me
00:42:57You can see or not see anybody you want
00:42:59It's only a week out
00:43:01That's not the seven long miserable days, baby
00:43:02It's a fact that you still have to think up trick gimmicks
00:43:05To find out whether you're in love with me
00:43:06It isn't that
00:43:07I know I'm in love with you
00:43:09Yeah, well then maybe when we're talking about love
00:43:10We're talking about two different things
00:43:12Maybe we're not
00:43:13In my book it means consideration for the feelings of the person
00:43:16You're supposed to be in love with
00:43:17Have you noticed my feelings lately?
00:43:18They're pretty well beat
00:43:19You feel real sorry for yourself, don't you?
00:43:21I don't feel sorry for myself
00:43:22I feel sorry for you
00:43:23You just can't make up your mind, can you?
00:43:28Um
00:43:28What?
00:43:33Let's forget what I said
00:43:34Maybe it was a lousy idea at that
00:43:37No, maybe it's a good idea
00:43:39Anyway, let's give it a try
00:43:40It can't get any worse as far as I'm concerned
00:43:42Look, we don't have to decide anything this minute
00:43:44I'll give you a call later
00:43:46No, don't
00:43:47Maybe we can get together after Thanksgiving
00:43:49If we still want to
00:43:51And you can make up your mind
00:43:52Help, please
00:43:53Let's get out of here
00:44:03Sure
00:44:04When are you leaving for Reno?
00:44:07In the morning
00:44:07Okay, it's gonna sooner the better
00:44:17Hey Al
00:44:18There's a cream cheese looking for you
00:44:20She's downstairs
00:44:21Said it's urgent
00:44:22She wanted to come up
00:44:23But I told her it was against
00:44:24The house rules
00:44:27Thanks, Larry
00:44:31Would there be any room in there for my things?
00:44:40I don't know
00:44:41Depends on where you're going
00:44:42I hear they marry people in a hurry in Reno
00:44:46I have a friend who's going there
00:44:53What you've been going through is anything like what I've been going through
00:44:59And I'll marry the toughest guy in the world
00:45:02You're absolutely sure now
00:45:06I've been boiled in an aisle
00:45:09And I know what I'm doing
00:45:11Well, I know I should get discreetly out of here
00:45:21But I'm gonna stay and watch
00:45:22We're getting married
00:45:24Hey, I said we're getting married
00:45:26Yeah, I heard you
00:45:27I was just wondering if I should sing something appropriate
00:45:30Easy boy, easy
00:45:32That'll ruin you for all other men
00:45:34Well, I think you two are gonna like marriage
00:45:36I've heard it described as something like tennis
00:45:38Played with 40 millimeter cannons
00:45:39No, that's before you get married
00:45:41Oh, I see
00:45:42Say, I wonder if Ronnie'd mind giving us a lift as far as Reno
00:45:45We'll leave you fast enough after that
00:45:46Well, never mind
00:45:48We'll catch a train
00:45:49Come on, I'll take you home
00:45:50Hey, wait a minute
00:45:54You're gonna need money like you never needed money before
00:45:57Like you never dreamed of
00:45:58And this child is not gonna travel along with you
00:46:01Until you've done the right thing by her
00:46:02Old Brick's gonna see that he doesn't get away from you
00:46:05Now that he's ruined you
00:46:06Thank you, old Brick
00:46:08Hey, won't it be great on the honeymoon with just the five of us?
00:46:12We'll see you, Brick
00:46:12Good night
00:46:13Good night
00:46:14Good night
00:46:44Time and time I stroke those stresses
00:46:51In the years long since gone by
00:46:53Now I find them everywhere
00:46:55In the butter and in the pie
00:46:57Pick a little day, don't
00:46:59Don't
00:46:59Down with three
00:47:07Next time, Jim
00:47:08Oh, I think you're pretty smart
00:47:10Haven't seen you look so sharp since Tokyo, buddy
00:47:16Look sharp
00:47:17Be sharp
00:47:17Hey, uh, you warned Ronnie about the chance he's taking
00:47:22Chance? What chance?
00:47:24You know they're gonna throw the book at you if you're caught
00:47:26What are you talking about?
00:47:28By riding back here
00:47:29It's against the law
00:47:30Oh, well, we just won't tell the cops what we're doing, that's all
00:47:34Okay by me, it's your funeral
00:47:36Hey, you hungry?
00:47:39Star
00:47:39What do you say we stop the next town and get a bite deep
00:47:41When we're so completely self-sufficient
00:47:44Everything we need is right here
00:47:45Pool, gas and oil, water, you name it
00:47:47Yeah, we figured on getting you two to Reno non-stop
00:47:50Come on, Brick, let's eat
00:47:52Right
00:47:53Complete down to the red, rough hands
00:47:58Where'd you get the card, Ronnie?
00:48:05Build it
00:48:05Electric torch
00:48:06Book of instructions
00:48:07Tom Swift and his radioactive uncle, you know
00:48:11I didn't know you could do anything like that, Ronnie
00:48:12Not a bad job, either
00:48:15Pretty nice along the seams
00:48:18Al
00:48:19Here are your sandwiches
00:48:21Something I designed for Dad's ranch
00:48:25I've seen a card like that somewhere before
00:48:27I can't remember where
00:48:29I'll trade you
00:48:31Okay
00:48:45I went out of my way
00:48:51I went out of my way
00:48:55I went out of my way
00:49:02To get in the way of love
00:49:19But I'm not sorry
00:49:21But I'm not sorry
00:49:23Even a little bit
00:49:29Cause I discovered
00:49:32The joy was worth the pain of it
00:49:37I went out of my way
00:49:40I went out of my mind
00:49:42When you stopped being kind and gentle
00:49:46And I laughed and I thought
00:49:51You're just being temperamental
00:49:54Though it's ancient history to you
00:50:00I've kept a memory or two
00:50:04It's to go out of my way
00:50:08To be out of this world
00:50:10With you
00:50:11Now, is this what you've been yelling about for so long?
00:50:17Just about
00:50:18You know, I must have been bad
00:50:21To be scared about us
00:50:22Well, you were young
00:50:24You changed all that
00:50:27I was young, happy
00:50:30Successful at my work
00:50:31And now you're taking me out of all this
00:50:34Well, sometimes a little misery and poverty
00:50:36It's character building
00:50:37That's what I want to build
00:50:39First character
00:50:40Don't miss one of them, Roy
00:50:46We can't leave a single print inside this trailer
00:50:48What happens if we do?
00:50:50Then this rig can be traced back to us
00:50:52What happens if someone in Harold's club starts shooting?
00:50:55You know, with guns?
00:50:56I told you no guns
00:50:57Yeah, but you didn't tell them
00:50:58This plan is absolutely foolproof
00:51:01He's a genius
00:51:02If he says it is, it is
00:51:03You know, they charge double fares for bodies
00:51:05What do you mean by that?
00:51:06Just that
00:51:07A body has to have two tickets on a train or a plane
00:51:10There's a regulation about it somewhere
00:51:12It's an example of real positive thinking
00:51:15Listen, let's get serious a minute, Ronnie
00:51:18All of us within the next 24 hours
00:51:20Could be lying on a dirty floor
00:51:21Surrounded by cigarette butts
00:51:23Staring up at a ring of strange faces
00:51:25With bullet holes in our heads
00:51:26Just wipe the cards and relax
00:51:28I've just rubbed this queen of spades so hard
00:51:32I turned her into a jack
00:51:33We'll pull off the road up ahead
00:51:36It's good and dark outside
00:51:37Break
00:51:38You bury all that stuff
00:51:40Break the glass jugs and scatter the pieces
00:51:42When do these go on?
00:51:43When we stop
00:51:44I'll take care of that
00:51:45Roy, your job is to keep Al and Kay busy
00:51:48While we handle everything here
00:51:49Keep them busy
00:51:51I never saw two busier people in my whole life
00:51:53They haven't stopped once
00:51:55What are you folks going to say about this?
00:52:02It's been the ambition of the whole family
00:52:04To get somebody in good looking enough
00:52:05To answer the door
00:52:07And what do the others do
00:52:09When I'm answering the door?
00:52:11Oh, they pick out from behind the curtain
00:52:12And look at you
00:52:14Hey, you trying for some insurance money or something?
00:52:20I just lost all my shame for a minute
00:52:23Well, don't go looking for her
00:52:25You know, you're a nut, but I love you
00:52:50Harold's Club
00:53:03Sure, that's what it looks like
00:53:07You're right
00:53:09It looks like a dead ringer, doesn't it?
00:53:12Glad to meet you, mister
00:53:13Hope I don't have to kill you
00:53:15You lousy steel jack
00:53:17I'll gut you and shoot my way out of here
00:53:20What's the pitch?
00:53:21Brilliant, isn't it?
00:53:22Now watch
00:53:23Yeah, Jack, you getting this?
00:53:28Get going
00:53:29What is it?
00:53:31I don't know
00:53:32It's the greatest hoax of the century
00:53:34It's as nefarious as Fu Manchu
00:53:36And as practical as a zipper
00:53:37It's a way to hold up Harold's Club in Reno
00:53:40And get away with it
00:53:40A perfect crime
00:53:42Did you know about this brick?
00:53:46Yeah
00:53:46Sure, I knew about it
00:53:48Yeah
00:53:49You set him up for it, huh?
00:53:51No, it's his own idea, not mine
00:53:52Well, there's no harm done yet
00:53:55At least you haven't broken any laws as far as I can see
00:53:59But you're trying hard for a sale block in your varsity number
00:54:01Ronnie, how could you dream up such a thing?
00:54:04I don't know what everyone's getting so excited about
00:54:05I've just come up with the greatest idea since the bikini bathing suit
00:54:08You treat me like a hardened criminal
00:54:09All right, let's pull this rig over the side of the road
00:54:11Okay, Al
00:54:13All right, honey
00:54:18You stay here in the trailer with Ronnie there
00:54:21How could you let these kids fool around with anything this stupid, Rick?
00:54:43Oh, you know how raw he is
00:54:45He'll go along with anything for laughs
00:54:46Well, Ronnie's gone to a lot of trouble and expense
00:54:49He's worked out a plan
00:54:51Great plan
00:54:53He really could rob Harold's club, you know
00:54:55Yeah, I know, he could do anything
00:54:56But how about you?
00:54:57Me?
00:54:58Yeah, you
00:54:58I'm dead serious
00:54:59Come on, let's quit horsing each other
00:55:02Don't talk down to me, Al
00:55:03I don't feel a fit coming on or anything
00:55:05I'm as cool as a trench knife
00:55:07I'm not talking down to you
00:55:08Just tell me about it
00:55:09All right
00:55:10Any guy who wants to lead himself a quiet, peaceful, and eventful life
00:55:14Picked the wrong time to get born
00:55:15Sure, sure
00:55:16You had it tough
00:55:17So did I
00:55:17We made it back
00:55:19That even sings up
00:55:20No, it doesn't
00:55:21I did a lot of brain beating in that hospital
00:55:23I got it figured out
00:55:24I figured it this way
00:55:25A guy's got to have a little money to call his own
00:55:27Every time I thought I could make ends
00:55:29Meet some joker came along and moved the ends out
00:55:31Well, no more
00:55:32I'm going to do anything to get what I want
00:55:34Keep talking
00:55:34Well, I'm not going to graduate this year or any year
00:55:36You know it and I know it
00:55:37Sure, you'll graduate
00:55:38We'll help pull you through
00:55:39No, you guys had me hanging around your neck long enough
00:55:42I wasn't cut out for law
00:55:43Well, you're not cut out for 50 years in prison either
00:55:46Look, I already had my lost years
00:55:48You realize there are guys our age
00:55:50They're in practice already
00:55:51You're not thinking straight, Brick
00:55:52You better get yourself back to that hospital
00:55:54How much money you got in your pocket right now, huh?
00:55:56How much you think you're going to have a year
00:55:57After you get out of school?
00:55:5910, 20, 50 bucks?
00:56:00Ronnie's cooked up a sure thing
00:56:01You're both wrong
00:56:02We can be in and out of that club in six minutes tonight
00:56:04Al, with a fortune
00:56:05Tonight, Al, tonight
00:56:06You can have 50,000 bucks, maybe
00:56:08You and Kay could look kind of high up the hall
00:56:09I have words and they don't make sense
00:56:11Counting on you
00:56:13Counting on me?
00:56:16Sure, I figured it right down the line
00:56:18Just like old times, Al
00:56:19Look, Brick
00:56:20You saved my life once
00:56:22I'm grateful to you for that
00:56:23I'm going to help you
00:56:25We're going over that trailer
00:56:27Get that card out
00:56:28And shove it over right down there
00:56:29Then we're going into Reno
00:56:31And forget we ever had this conversation
00:56:32Al?
00:56:34Yeah
00:56:35You know, when you first decided to bring Kay along
00:56:39It kind of worried me
00:56:40Now I can see how it's going to help
00:56:42You leave Kay out of this, Brick
00:56:46Know why?
00:56:49I got a part in a holdup for her, too
00:56:51She's going to drive the car
00:56:52Hey
00:56:58You only got one punch for me, old buddy?
00:57:01Don't push me, Brick
00:57:02If you involve Kay in anything, I'm going to kill you
00:57:08Hey, that'd boost your legal career real good, wouldn't it?
00:57:13Every law firm in the country wants you for a junior partner
00:57:16You're really sick
00:57:17Ronnie, go on that trailer and bring that card out here
00:57:23Al
00:57:24No guns, Brick
00:57:28That here was no guns
00:57:29Now this is the way it works
00:57:30You three stay inside the trailer
00:57:31Give me the trailer key, Ronnie
00:57:33I'm going to toss it
00:57:36Okay
00:57:43You'll stay in deep freeze till we get to Reno
00:57:46My old buddy here is going to drive
00:57:48He has to rehearse his part
00:57:49So he'll know what he's doing when we get to Harold's Club
00:57:51You won't get away with this, Brick
00:57:52Gun or no gun
00:57:53Yes, I will
00:57:55You want to know why?
00:57:59Because your only chance of getting out of this thing alive
00:58:01Is to pull it off and get away clean
00:58:02For worse health than I thought
00:58:04You ought to be back in that psycho ward
00:58:06Psycho ward?
00:58:08Yeah, that's right
00:58:08I should have told you guys before
00:58:10Shut up
00:58:10That's where you were
00:58:11Look at the evidence, counselor
00:58:14Who bought the trailer in the car you're riding in?
00:58:18Ronnie
00:58:18He used a phony name and address
00:58:20And the license plates don't go with this rig either
00:58:24Roy bought the groceries
00:58:26And he helped Ronnie to build the car too
00:58:29And that's Ronnie's voice you heard on the tape recorder
00:58:31Is that right?
00:58:32You and Kay just came along for the ride
00:58:38But who's going to believe it was just to get married?
00:58:41You're part of a gang, Al
00:58:42He hasn't done anything
00:58:45The police aren't going to believe that
00:58:47I'll take my chances
00:58:48Maybe you don't read me
00:58:51If you guys don't back me up
00:58:54I'm going to rob Harold's Club all by myself
00:58:56Couldn't break, not by yourself
00:58:59Well then I'll say it again slowly so you'll understand
00:59:03I'm going to rob Harold's Club
00:59:06With or without you guys
00:59:08And I'm going to use the gimmick that you figured, Ronnie
00:59:11They'll follow you around like Lady Godiva
00:59:13Well, you better pray I make it
00:59:16Because if I get caught
00:59:17I'm going to drag you all in with me
00:59:19John, get in the back like he says
00:59:22Now you're thinking straight, Al
00:59:24Well, I want that cart moved up in the back seat of the car
00:59:29Where I can watch it
00:59:30And cover it up with a blanket
00:59:32Come on, move
00:59:43And then you walk up to the guy with the cart, see
00:59:46And you say
00:59:47I guess you don't remember me
00:59:50Mr. Gunderson introduced us
00:59:52But that was a long time ago
00:59:53Oh, look, Al
00:59:58You play this through with me
01:00:00You're not going to get in any trouble
01:00:01You were forced into a crime
01:00:05Now even I can defend you on that
01:00:07I should have sent you back to that hospital
01:00:10The night you clubbed with that kid at the club
01:00:11I'm not going back there, Al
01:00:14I wouldn't have gone back there then
01:00:16I'm not going back now either
01:00:18I'll do anything to keep from going back there, Al
01:00:22Anything you get that
01:00:25This is the best way I know to get there
01:00:29After I get that money
01:00:30I'm going to put a million miles between me and the doctors
01:00:33I can't live with that place hanging over my head, Al
01:00:37You think I like holding a gun on you, huh?
01:00:40You think I like that?
01:00:42You're the only guy who ever meant anything to me
01:00:44But I'll cut you down, Al
01:00:45Even you, I'll cut you down if you try to stop me
01:00:47See you've made that point enough
01:00:48You think I'm crummy, don't you?
01:00:54No, I don't think you're crummy
01:00:55I know you're sick
01:00:55I'm sick enough to let you stop me
01:00:59I'm not going to stop you, prick
01:01:03I'm going to help you
01:01:05Because I don't want a lot of innocent people to get messed up
01:01:07If you'd kill anyone, I'd feel responsible
01:01:09Al, Al
01:01:09Now shut up, shut up!
01:01:13I'm not going to get sick myself
01:01:15And then I'll pay you
01:01:19Come back up, 손 for 10are
01:01:19A few years later
01:01:20Take that down, so you just need to run
01:01:20I'm not going to kill anybody
01:01:21Oh yeah that can't do it
01:01:21Can't take that down, so you can take that down
01:01:22And then we're going to be
01:01:23What one can take when you don't walk
01:01:24If he is that way you can take a hook
01:01:26You don't want a blunt
01:01:27A few years later
01:01:27Okay, take this.
01:01:55Why?
01:01:56In 65 seconds, Brick will stop.
01:01:59He'll unhitch the trailer and abandon it.
01:02:0230 seconds later, we'll walk into Harold's Club.
01:02:04Exactly six minutes later, we'll come out.
01:02:07An eastbound train leaves one minute later.
01:02:09Ronnie figures we can walk from the club to the station in 15 seconds.
01:02:12We'll board her just as she rolls out.
01:02:17Why are you telling me this?
01:02:19I know how Brick thinks.
01:02:21My job is to drop the cart at the alley entrance,
01:02:24three minutes and 15 seconds after Al, Brick, and Roy enter the club.
01:02:27Then I park the car in Harold's garage.
01:02:29No one will notice it there for a day or two.
01:02:32You don't think Brick's gonna let you out of your sight now, do you?
01:02:35No.
01:02:36But he will trust Kay.
01:02:38The minute he turns his head, I'm gonna yell for the first policeman I see.
01:02:41Not if you want Al alive.
01:02:44Brick would kill him for sure.
01:02:50Take this.
01:02:52You have six minutes to deliver the cart, park the car, and buy three tickets at the depot.
01:02:57Three tickets?
01:02:59Brick and I won't be going back.
01:03:02Now don't talk like that, Ronnie.
01:03:04Listen, maybe Kay is right.
01:03:06Maybe she could get the cops naked around the place.
01:03:08No, it's too late, Roy.
01:03:09And they couldn't get Al clear of Brick.
01:03:11Cross Brick now and he'd turn into a shooting maniac.
01:03:14He'd mow us down.
01:03:16That's not all.
01:03:17He'd kill a lot of innocent people before they stopped him.
01:03:20Now we've gotta wait and let the professionals catch him.
01:03:23After the holdup.
01:03:25It'll all be over in seven minutes.
01:03:27It wasn't just a stunt, Roy.
01:03:34I wanted to see it work.
01:03:36And I want to see it work right now.
01:03:39I don't mean for the money or anything, but just to know I was able to do it.
01:03:57All right.
01:04:13Bring out the cowboy outfits.
01:04:20Unhitch it.
01:04:27Come on, start putting that stuff on.
01:04:44All right, 25 seconds.
01:04:46I'm gonna say this once, Kay.
01:04:49Ronnie's supposed to deliver the car to the back entrance of Harold's Club
01:04:52three minutes and 15 seconds after we enter.
01:04:54on the button.
01:04:55I'm gonna kill Al.
01:04:56I thought I told you to leave her out of this.
01:04:57You put your beards on.
01:04:58I'm gonna kill Al.
01:04:59I thought I told you to leave her out of this.
01:05:00You put your beards on.
01:05:01Okay, time.
01:05:02Okay, time.
01:05:03Make up your mind, Kay.
01:05:04You put your beards on.
01:05:05You put your beards on.
01:05:06Okay, time.
01:05:07Make up your mind, Kay.
01:05:08We're rolling.
01:05:09Six minutes after we get into Harold's Club, we'll be out.
01:05:11You'll see a train.
01:05:12Get on it.
01:05:13We'll enter different cars and meet you later.
01:05:14Ronnie's gonna buy the tickets on the train.
01:05:15Ronnie's gonna buy the tickets on the train.
01:05:16I'm gonna kill Al.
01:05:17I'm gonna kill Al.
01:05:18I thought I told you to leave her out of this.
01:05:19You put your beards on.
01:05:20Okay, time.
01:05:21Make up your mind, Kay.
01:05:22We're rolling.
01:05:23Six minutes after we get into Harold's Club, we'll be out.
01:05:24You'll see a train.
01:05:25Get on it.
01:05:26We'll enter different cars and meet you later.
01:05:42Ronnie's gonna buy the tickets on the train.
01:05:47All right, Al, you decide.
01:05:49Allie's insane.
01:05:53Do what he says.
01:06:19Let's move.
01:06:49Thank you for your main line, now.
01:06:51You better...
01:06:53Yeah.
01:07:05Five and a four now, sir.
01:07:07Hi.
01:07:08Ah, hi.
01:07:09I, uh...
01:07:10I guess you don't remember me.
01:07:12Mr. Gunderson introduced me.
01:07:14That's why you made an awful lot of people.
01:07:15Sure, sure, I know, but I wanted to talk to you.
01:07:18What?
01:07:19Spare a second.
01:07:20Uh-huh.
01:07:22Don't turn your head too quickly, but...
01:07:24If you look over your right shoulder, you'll see a man.
01:07:32What about him?
01:07:33Well, that man's my partner. He's got a gun pointed at your back.
01:07:38You'll make the wrong move in the next second.
01:07:40Good.
01:07:41You got me?
01:07:43Yeah.
01:07:44No, don't look up there. Look at me.
01:07:49Seven winner main line.
01:07:51I know they're watching us up there.
01:07:55Right about now, you better start smiling.
01:07:58Look at me and smile.
01:08:00This is a friendly conversation, if somebody's watching.
01:08:03Smile.
01:08:04I know.
01:08:05You better not.
01:08:06What are we gonna do now?
01:08:07Well, you're gonna push your cart down to the blackjack table at the head of the stairs,
01:08:19right next to the dealer, and ask her to keep an eye on it for you.
01:08:23She'll think that's funny if I do that.
01:08:25No, she'll think it's funny, but she'll do it anyway, because you ask her to.
01:08:28And while we're walking down there, you keep looking at us and smiling.
01:08:33Oh.
01:08:34Get going.
01:08:35Keep an eye on this.
01:08:51Okay.
01:08:52Okay.
01:09:05Don't look at the ceiling, just go out there in the alley.
01:09:08Smile.
01:09:10Keep smiling.
01:09:11Sorry, we're working in here.
01:09:20You'll have to use the Virginia Street entrance.
01:09:22That's the only entrance that's open.
01:09:31Give me that cigarette.
01:09:34You yell for help when we run.
01:09:36Let's save your boss a little money, but...
01:09:38Just before we run, I'm gonna kill you.
01:09:54That's right.
01:09:55That's a duplicate.
01:09:57You're gonna push that into the money room just like it's your regular cart.
01:10:02Stuff the bills in there.
01:10:03No silver.
01:10:05They're just bills.
01:10:06All you say is the boss wanted the money.
01:10:08He sent you to get it.
01:10:09He wants it quick.
01:10:10Anybody wants to know why?
01:10:12You don't know and you don't care.
01:10:14And you tie the sack up, put it on top of the cart, and push it right back here.
01:10:18You got that?
01:10:19Sure.
01:10:21I guess you're wondering why you ought to do this.
01:10:23Once you're inside, huh?
01:10:25Well, that had crossed my mind.
01:10:28Meet the other member of our group.
01:10:30Glad to meet you, mister.
01:10:35Hope I don't have to kill you.
01:10:37See, you're gonna have company in the cash room.
01:10:40My little friend in the cart.
01:10:43We're gonna wheel him in there with you in and out again.
01:10:47Wanna know why?
01:10:49Tell him why, Charlie.
01:10:51Guy in there's five feet tall.
01:10:53No bigger than most jockeys.
01:10:55He served time.
01:10:56I won't say where.
01:10:58He's out because he escaped.
01:11:00He says he'll never serve time again.
01:11:02You louse this deal, Jack.
01:11:03I'll gut you and shoot my way out of here.
01:11:06See, he's gonna watch all the time through these louvers.
01:11:09The top isn't fastened down.
01:11:10All he has to do is stand up when he's shooting.
01:11:12At you.
01:11:13Got that?
01:11:14Yeah, Jack, you getting this?
01:11:18Yeah.
01:11:19Get going.
01:11:20You do back in the vault now.
01:11:22Don't stall on the way and set off the alarm.
01:11:24Our friend in here is gonna have to dust you.
01:11:43Jackpot!
01:11:44I did it!
01:11:45I did it!

01:12:28I'm out.
01:12:30I'm out!
01:12:32Go, go, go.
01:13:02Have any luck?
01:13:18Oh, no.
01:13:20One will last too much.
01:13:28Ten cent machine.
01:13:32Yeah.
01:13:34Where's the car machine?
01:13:36They're down that way.
01:13:38Okay, good luck.
01:13:52Now guys, they're coming right out.
01:13:54Coming right out on the old come out road.
01:13:56Come out on the old come out road.
01:14:02Moving around.
01:14:04Moving around, moving around.
01:14:06Moving around.
01:14:08Everyone standing, then everyone.
01:14:10Come on.
01:14:12Come on.
01:14:14You're going all right.
01:14:18Get your hands.
01:14:22Roll in the left of my side.
01:14:24You got it.
01:14:26It's going...
01:14:28Now look, Eric, we're going to pick up a bag down the outside of the door.
01:14:36We're going to a car. We've got to wait down the alley.
01:14:39We're going to blow the horn twice.
01:14:41Now the minute he hears it in there, he's going to push out the sides and go out the door too.
01:14:46And you wait right here until you hear the horn honk twice.
01:14:50You getting this?
01:14:52Yeah, I'm getting it.
01:14:54Look, I've done everything you've asked me.
01:14:57I don't want him getting wild.
01:15:03Just follow instructions and nobody's going to get hurt.
01:15:05He's not going to shoot anybody. He doesn't have to.
01:15:14Look out! There's a man with a gun in there!
01:15:23Brick, this has gone far enough.
01:15:26I'm okay.
01:15:40I'm okay.
01:15:40I've gone to the police. I've told them.
01:15:56I've gone to the police. I've told them.
01:16:06Tell them to stay back.
01:16:07Darling, please. It's too late. It's in there.
01:16:09Look, Brick's a real sick guy, but he's not going to hurt anybody unless he's grounded.
01:16:11Now tell him to stay back and give me a chance with him.
01:16:14Tell him!
01:16:14Look, it's there.
01:16:42So
01:17:12Hey, mister, did you see a big fellow come by here carrying a bag?
01:17:30Nope.
01:17:33Uh, sorry, sir. No people, just cars.
01:17:36Look, I gotta find this guy.
01:17:38Look, Buster, sorry. No people, just cars.
01:17:42Rick! Rick, where are you?
01:18:05Rick!
01:18:12Rick!
01:18:30Please, you've got to believe me.
01:18:32Look, if you'll just let him alone, then he might be able to get him down without anyone being hurt.
01:18:36Look, lady, you never know about a sign-go, especially if he's got a gun.
01:18:45Stay back!
01:18:53Stop!
01:18:54Hold it, Matt.
01:18:55Rick!
01:19:22Rick!
01:19:22It's me
01:19:25How?

01:19:45I wouldn't crowding you, Brick
01:19:52I'm gonna kill you
01:19:57I'm going away
01:20:01I thought maybe you'd like to come with me
01:20:05I'm gonna kill you
01:20:22Do you remember the time you brought me in?
01:20:29I had a hole in my side
01:20:30The commies were shooting at you then
01:20:36Do you remember the tracer bullets?
01:20:41How they lit up the snow and made it look all red
01:20:48Remember
01:20:53I'm gonna kill you
01:20:56I'm gonna kill you
