00:04:31It's five days until payday and I'm flat busted.
00:04:34How are you holding?

00:04:37Me too.
00:04:38Well, I've got to figure out some way to get some gear, sir.
00:04:41How else am I going to take that gorgeous creature out to the music bar?
00:04:44Why don't you ask, uh, old man Mackey for an advance?
00:04:47Oh, that old guy, he wouldn't give you the sweat off his glasses.
00:04:50Yeah.
00:04:51He's sure a mean old buzzard.
00:04:54Hey, buzzard, I'm glad you said that.
00:04:56Buzz Larson owes me 20 bucks.
00:04:57Why don't you call him up down at the dock?
00:04:58My friend, you have just read my mind.
00:05:17Hello, is Buzz Larson there, please?
00:05:20Oh, hello, Buzz.
00:05:22Hi, boy.
00:05:23This is Danny.
00:05:24Listen, uh, could you let me have that 20 bucks you owe me?
00:05:31Oh, that's swell.
00:05:32Believe me, you're a lifesaver.
00:05:35I'll be down tonight and pick it up.
00:05:37Huh?
00:05:39Tomorrow.
00:05:40Oh, wait a minute.
00:05:41Boy, I...
00:05:42I need it right away.
00:05:46You don't get paid until tomorrow.
00:05:50Yeah.
00:05:51I understand, sure.
00:05:55Okay.
00:05:56All right, thanks anyway, kid.
00:05:58Bye.
00:06:00Who left that light on in the washroom?
00:06:02Not me.
00:06:03Well, it was one of you fellas.
00:06:04You're all alike.
00:06:05You don't care what you do with my money.
00:06:07You think I own stock in the power company?
00:06:21So she said to me, I want to speak to the supervisor.
00:06:24So I said, one moment, please.
00:06:27And then I said, yes, it's the supervisor speaking.
00:06:32Colin Colgan, are you listening to me?
00:06:35Yeah.
00:06:35Well, I don't think you've heard one word.
00:06:38You just seem to be walking around in a dream lately.
00:06:42Oh, Millie, I think I'll take a bite of you here.
00:06:44There's some things I have to get.
00:06:46What things?
00:06:47Where?
00:06:48Oh, just some things.
00:06:49Over on State Street.
00:06:51I know where you're going, Helen.
00:06:53And you're making a big mistake.
00:06:55If he wants to see you, he knows your telephone number.
00:06:58I know, but I...
00:06:59But nothing.
00:06:59You're making a fool of yourself.
00:07:02I think I am.
00:07:04Goodbye.
00:07:10Well, when you need it fast sometimes, you haven't got time.
00:07:14I have a lighter.
00:07:15What?
00:07:16A standard lighter.
00:07:17Yeah.
00:07:18Okay.
00:07:18No, no, not you, Rick.
00:07:21Yeah, sure.
00:07:22Well, if you haven't got it, you can't lend it.
00:07:26Yeah.
00:07:26All right.
00:07:28Thanks a lot.
00:07:29Bye.
00:07:30Did you reach Buzz?
00:07:30Yeah, I called him, Ray Pierce, and Jimmy Cook, all of them.
00:07:33None of them had it.
00:07:33Too bad.
00:07:34Dollar three.
00:07:35Exactly.
00:07:37There you go.
00:07:56Nobody checks my cash except this once-a-week bookkeeper,
00:07:58and he don't come around until Thursday.
00:08:00I could put it back before Thursday.
00:08:02I could put it back tomorrow, as soon as I get that 20 bucks from Buzz.
00:08:31Dad!
00:08:33Oh, Daddy!
00:08:35Oh, hello, Helen.

00:08:47Yeah.
00:08:48I went last Saturday.
00:08:51Do you ever go hiking anymore?
00:08:53Once in a while.

00:08:57Yeah.
00:08:58Didn't we have fun?
00:08:59Yeah.
00:09:00We did lots of fun.

00:09:43Taxi lady?
00:09:45Where's your meter?
00:09:47I'll figure out the fare as we go along.
00:09:52You might overcharge me.
00:09:54I might at that.
00:09:56Hop in, honey.
00:09:59Where'd you like to go?
00:10:00Uh, let's go downtown.
00:10:03Winter shopping.
00:10:04Oh, how dull can you get?
00:10:06Oh, well, that's what I want to do.
00:10:10We can, uh, we can do something else later.
00:10:15You have a deal, honey.
00:10:31Still here.
00:10:33Nice looking coat.
00:10:34But they'd suck you at least a thousand bucks for a coat like that.
00:10:37Are you kidding?
00:10:38Why, that's mink.
00:10:40It's a bargain at two thousand.
00:10:43Isn't that the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life?
00:10:46Well, it's not bad.
00:10:47Are you thinking on buying it?
00:10:50I want that coat.
00:10:52And I'm going to get it.
00:10:54For two thousand dollars?
00:10:56For whatever it takes.
00:10:58Say, wait a minute.
00:10:59You, you really do want it, don't you?
00:11:02You bet I do.

00:11:13Oh, they're blue.
00:11:14Ah, brown.
00:11:16Ah, but there's blues in your big brown eyes.
00:11:19Oh, you sing too.
00:11:21Only for you, Harvey.
00:11:23Shall we go?
00:11:29Closed Mondays.
00:11:30How do you like that?
00:11:32Are you sure you didn't happen to know it was closed when you invited me?
00:11:35Oh, wait a minute.
00:11:36Would I do a thing like that?
00:11:37I'll take any place you want to go.
00:11:39Name it and you can have it.

00:14:25Why, hello, Nick.
00:14:26Look, I've got the rules in this house.

00:15:31Yeah.
00:15:33It's Beetlejuice.
00:15:35Who?
00:15:37Beetlejuice.
00:15:38Beetlejuice, Dave used to call it.
00:15:40Dave.
00:15:42Who's Dave?
00:15:44Oh, Ben, I used to know.
00:15:46He taught me the names of all the stars.
00:15:48You know, I never saw a star until I was 16.
00:15:51How come?
00:15:56I was raised in Steel Town, West Virginia, and you couldn't see the sky for the smoke.
00:16:00So I ran away.
00:16:02Funny, I ran away from home, too.
00:16:04That was a long, long time ago.
00:16:09I, uh...
00:16:10What'd you do after you ran away from home?
00:16:12Oh, I was a car hop for a while.
00:16:14Waitress in a beer joint.
00:16:16Clerks in a five and ten.
00:16:18Cashier in a coffee shop.
00:16:21It's not what you run away to.
00:16:22It's what you run away from.
00:16:23I ran away from a farm and the belt the old man used to whip me with.
00:16:27That old man was sure free with that belt.
00:16:29Oh, I ran away from a lot of things.
00:16:32Ma getting drunk all the time and never having any decent clothes to wear.
00:16:36And the boarders.
00:16:38Especially those boarders.
00:16:40They wouldn't leave me alone.
00:16:42Must have been tough.
00:16:45I learned to handle them after a while.
00:16:49Think you could handle me?
00:16:50Sure.
00:16:56I can handle you easy.
00:16:59Yeah?

00:17:35If he finds out I'm short, he'll tell the old man.

00:27:16Help!
00:27:52Help!
00:28:02Oh, what are we waiting for, huh?
00:28:05What's your hurry tonight?
00:28:06I never saw you run after anybody before.
00:28:09Oh, Millie, please.
00:28:10Say, take it easy.
00:28:12What's the rush?
00:28:13Nobody's chasing us.
00:28:16Yeah, that's right.
00:28:18Nobody's chasing us.
00:28:19We've got all night, haven't we?
00:28:20Sure we have.
00:28:21Maybe you've got all night.
00:28:23Me and Helen, we only got five minutes till the last show.
00:28:27Uh, close to the general.
00:28:29Millie, I almost forgot.
00:28:30I've already seen the picture.
00:28:31I saw it when it was downtown at the Palace.
00:28:34But you said...
00:28:35Oh, I got it.
00:28:37You wouldn't mind if I went alone, would you?
00:28:40No, I wouldn't have.
00:28:41I didn't think so.
00:28:42Goodbye, then.
00:28:43Bye.
00:28:45Gee, Dan, this is like old times.
00:28:48Yeah.
00:28:49Let's go on the roller coaster and the chutes and the dipper.
00:28:52Let's go on everything.
00:28:54All right.
00:29:02My knees were really shaking back there.
00:29:03I thought the cops had bust out of that alley any minute.
00:29:06But now I'm in the clear.
00:29:08With heavy dough in my pocket, I can pay off that jewelry store and have enough left over
00:29:11to show Vera the biggest time she ever had.
00:29:14Vera.
00:29:16I've got a date with her tonight.
00:29:17I promised to meet her at Nick's place.
00:29:26Uh, what time is it?
00:29:29It's 25 to 10.
00:29:32Holy smoke.
00:29:32I promised to meet a guy a half hour ago.
00:29:35I'm kind of late.
00:29:35I'm sorry, kid.
00:29:36Can I...
00:29:37Can I walk you to the bus or something?
00:29:39Well, you don't have to, Dan.
00:29:41I can get home by myself.
00:29:42Well, uh, I'll give you a ring and we'll get together sometime soon.
00:29:46Uh, I'll see you later, sir.
00:29:55Gee, don't come back.
00:29:57I want my $50.
00:29:59Do me a favor, will you?
00:30:01Drop dead.
00:30:03Hey!
00:30:03Help him!
00:30:05Hey, let's take a journey.
00:30:06Oh, take your hands off what I want.
00:30:08Don't you hear me?
00:30:11I don't like to be pushed around.
00:30:14I just don't...
00:30:30What's all this about $50?
00:30:32It wasn't a loan.
00:30:33It was a present.
00:30:35I don't want you taking $50 from a guy like this ever.
00:30:39Let's get out of here.
00:30:46I don't want to...
00:30:48Hey!
00:30:55Hey!
00:30:58Hey!
00:31:00Hey!
00:31:01Hey!
00:31:04Hey!
00:31:09Hi!
00:31:12Hey!
00:31:21Wait, wait, two more of these.
00:31:26When are you going to tell me what we're celebrating?
00:31:28We're supposed to be celebrating some?
00:31:30Oh, God, to be.
00:31:31Last night you were spending dollar bills, and tonight it's 50.
00:31:36I won it in a crap game.
00:31:39Sure wasn't bingo.
00:31:41Two champagne cocktails.
00:31:45What do you mean, bingo?
00:31:47Just thought you might have won it from Shorty McCabe.
00:31:52I'll give you that idea.
00:31:55Maybe it was Evelyn.
00:31:58Evelyn? Who's Evelyn?
00:32:00Bookkeeper in the movie house.
00:32:03She saw us, Shorty, losing it in the auto park.
00:32:07What do you know about this?
00:32:11She just came into Nick's place to phone the cops.
00:32:13Cops?
00:32:14What'd she say?
00:32:15They're a long time no see.
00:32:17How about a dance?
00:32:18No, thanks.
00:32:18Your boyfriend won't mind.
00:32:20No, thanks.
00:32:20Can I buy you both the drinks?
00:32:22No.
00:32:23Isn't there anything I can do for you?
00:32:24Yeah, blow.
00:32:25You hurt her.
00:32:32What'd she say?
00:32:33Danny.
00:32:37She said she saw the guy who did it with a handkerchief around his face.
00:32:42He took Shorty for his bankroll.
00:32:47Didn't he?
00:32:50How do I know?
00:32:53Just thought you might have heard about it.
00:32:57Anyhow, if it was me, and I'd won any $50 bills, I wouldn't go spending them around the pier.
00:33:04Yeah?
00:33:05Why not?
00:33:07Of course, everyone around here knows that Shorty carries $50.
00:33:14Look, I don't know any guy named Shorty, and I won this dough in a crab game, see?
00:33:19Oh, now, sure you did.
00:33:21Sure you did, Danny.
00:33:23Let's spend some of it, huh?
00:33:26That's more like it.
00:33:32Only, you won't spend the $50.
00:33:34No, we won't spend the $50.
00:33:38No.
00:33:41No, we won't spend the $50.
00:33:52$40, $60, $80, $100.
00:33:54There's $100.
00:33:55Here's your dough.
00:33:58There's your contract.
00:34:00So long, Brady.
00:34:01So long.
00:34:09Back A Motor.
00:34:11Who?
00:34:13This is him speaking.
00:34:17How'd I like to what?
00:34:20How'd you like to take a big jump off the pier?
00:34:22No, I don't like to take a jump off the pier.
00:34:25But you better come and see me or else.
00:34:27Or else what?
00:34:29Or else something is going to happen.
00:34:31To you.
00:34:33To you, Danny boy.
00:35:01What's on your mind?
00:35:02Then it better be good.
00:35:03Oh, it's very good.
00:35:04You know, last night a prize fighter, a big prize fighter, he left something here.
00:35:09I picked it up.
00:35:10Picked it up where you left it.
00:35:12It's got a knot in it.
00:35:13You know, like, like you use for a mask or something.
00:35:16I don't know what you're talking about.
00:35:18No?
00:35:18No.
00:35:19But I'll take it just for luck.
00:35:20Sure, sure.
00:35:21You, you keep my handkerchief.
00:35:23I, I keep your handkerchief.
00:35:25Same knot, only, only your handkerchief got blood on it.
00:35:29So what?
00:35:31Did you ever hear anybody say money talks?
00:35:34Fifty dollar bills.
00:35:36They talk very loud.
00:35:37It's big bills.
00:35:39What do they say?
00:35:41It says, Shorty McCabe, Shorty McCabe.
00:35:43Yeah, that's what it says.
00:35:45Shorty McCabe.
00:35:46What's your angle?
00:35:47What are you trying to tell me?
00:35:48I'm telling you about a holdup.
00:35:51You see, Evelyn from the picture show, she, she saw the man get robbed.
00:35:56And she got a very good look at the guy who did it.
00:35:59She thinks she can identify him very easy.
00:36:02Nice girl.
00:36:03You want me to call you?
00:36:04Wait a minute.
00:36:04Put it down.
00:36:07You're so sure that I was mixed up in this thing, why don't you call the cops?
00:36:10Cops?
00:36:11Oh, no.
00:36:12I'm a businessman.
00:36:13You see, Danny boy, I, I think I can do business with you very nice.
00:36:18What kind of business do you think you could do with me?
00:36:21Automobile business.
00:36:22You get me a new car and, and I don't know nothing.
00:36:25Just nothing.
00:36:28A new car?
00:36:30I, I couldn't get a new car if I wanted to.
00:36:33Well, you can get a new car.
00:36:34Same way you got the fifty dollar bill.
00:36:38Are you nuts?
00:36:39Nuts?
00:36:40Me?
00:36:41No, I, I, I don't think so.
00:36:47Davis.
00:36:48Yes.
00:36:50Here are the plates for the green sedan.
00:36:53See who is ready for delivery in the morning.
00:36:56Yes.
00:36:57Oh, and Davis.
00:36:58Don't let me catch you putting in ten gallons of gas this time.
00:37:02Six is plenty.
00:37:04Yes, sir.
00:37:07There goes the last new car we'll have this month.
00:37:11I've got to get it tonight or blow town tomorrow.
00:37:13Even if I blow town, they'll probably catch up with me.
00:37:16Oh, boy, am I in a mess.
00:37:20Hey, Dan.
00:37:21Dan, I, uh, I was just thinking if you're not going to take Helen out anymore,
00:37:25I, I thought maybe I'd give her a call sometime.
00:37:29Yeah, sure.
00:37:31Why don't you do that, Jack?
00:37:42Oh, my God.
00:37:43Hey, Dan, Matt.
00:37:43Hey, Dan.
00:37:48Hey, Dan.
00:37:50Hey, Dan.
00:37:52Hey, Dan.
00:38:36Hey, uh...
00:38:37Hey, fella.
00:38:39This thing is stuck back here.
00:38:42I can't wait to get it.
00:38:45What's happening?
00:38:47It's the, uh, green sedan, the second in California Street.
00:38:50It's got license plates.
00:38:52That's fine.
00:38:54Well, I promised you I know nothing.
00:38:56Absolutely nothing.
00:38:57Wait.
00:38:57What's the matter?
00:38:58I want the handkerchief.
00:39:00Yeah.
00:39:01Okay.
00:39:03You let go of this and I'll let go of this.
00:39:05You let go of it and I'll let go of it.
00:39:06Okay.
00:39:08What are you going to do with the car?
00:39:09That's none of your business anymore.
00:39:12Well, I'll tell you, I...
00:39:13I sold it to a gambler friend of mine.
00:39:16He's driving it home to Nevada.
00:39:18I'll say that he does.
00:39:19I don't want him around town here.
00:39:20It's not going to give energy.
00:39:21Don't worry.
00:39:22He's going home tonight.
00:39:23No slimmings.
00:39:24Amy, OK.
00:39:49I'll keep it.
00:39:50Brady.
00:39:51Yeah.
00:39:52Well, now I know who took that green sedan.
00:39:59You do?
00:40:01Yeah. I could tell the police about it right this minute.
00:40:04But I don't know whether that would help me get back the car or not.
00:40:07You understand?
00:40:10No, I... I don't.
00:40:12Now, I'm not interested in sending anybody to jail, Brady.
00:40:16I'm interested in getting back that car.
00:40:21I don't know why you're telling me all this, mister.
00:40:23Oh, yes, you do.
00:40:25An employee of this firm stole that sedan.
00:40:28And I happen to know who it is because he was seen.
00:40:33If you're trying to pin this thing on me, mister...
00:40:36Now, don't try to run any bluffs, Brady.
00:40:37How many times do I have to tell you that?
00:40:38You don't have to tell me anything.
00:40:40All you have to do is to get that car down here,
00:40:42parked out in front before I get down tomorrow.
00:40:46What if I haven't got it? What if I don't know where it is?
00:40:49But you did have it, and you do know where it is.
00:40:51Well, I don't anymore!
00:40:55If you can't return the car, you'll have to pay for it.
00:40:59Three thousand dollars.
00:41:02Three thousand dollars?
00:41:04What?
00:41:05I'd only list for 1950.
00:41:06You don't think I'd sell to you at least?
00:41:08Three thousand dollars. Where would a guy like me get any dough like that?
00:41:11Almost everybody's got a family someplace
00:41:13where folks would go to a lot of trouble to keep a man out of jail.
00:41:17Not much.
00:41:18Now, look. I'll give you 24 hours, Brady.
00:41:22I want the money or I want the automobile.
00:41:25Now, let me give you some warning.
00:41:27Don't you try to leave town.
00:41:42Three thousand dollars.
00:41:44There might as well have been three million.
00:41:46I tried to remember who could have seen me in the green sedan.
00:41:49Nobody'd known I had it except Nick.
00:41:51Nick!
00:41:52Maybe that was who told the old man.
00:41:54Nick hated me.
00:41:55He'd cut my throat for a nickel.
00:42:00Hey.
00:42:01What's the matter with you tonight?
00:42:03You look like you lost your last friend.
00:42:06How'd you like to go to Texas, honey? Right now, right away.
00:42:09Are you kidding?
00:42:10I'm on the level.
00:42:12Uh-huh.
00:42:14What's the matter with California?
00:42:16Weather getting too warm?
00:42:22I'll tell you about it later.
00:42:26So, I'm in a worse jam than ever.
00:42:28My boss is gonna throw me in the brig if I don't get a hold of three thousand bucks or
00:42:32else.
00:42:33Where am I gonna get a hold of three thousand bucks?
00:42:37I know where there's three or four thousand dollars.
00:42:41Yeah.
00:42:41First National Bank.
00:42:43No.
00:42:43Not in any bank.
00:42:45But we can get at it.
00:42:46We can get at it easy.
00:42:48All you have to do is to break a little catch lock on a rickety old door.
00:42:52You can pry it open with your fingernails.
00:42:54Not with my fingernails.
00:42:56I'm in too deep already.
00:43:08This is the end of the month.
00:43:11That's when Nick keeps the money overnight.
00:43:13Nick?
00:43:14You mean Nick at the Penny Arcade?
00:43:15Uh-huh.
00:43:17There'll be thousands of dollars there tonight.
00:43:21What would Nick be doing with that kind of deal?
00:43:23He charges people for cashing checks.
00:43:26Today's a big payday.
00:43:28A lot of them will bring their checks in in the morning before the banks open.
00:43:32And he doesn't even have a safe.
00:43:34He hides it.
00:43:37I know where.
00:43:42It was Nick who got me into all this.
00:43:44Let Nick get you out.
00:43:47Then you won't have to go to Texas.
00:43:49You can stay here.
00:43:51With me.
00:43:53Wait a minute.
00:43:54What's the matter?
00:43:56There's someone watching us from the house.
00:44:04It's only old Snoop.
00:44:06Who?
00:44:06The landlady.
00:44:08She's always looking for trouble.
00:44:10You know, I had a news program on the air the other night.
00:44:12And she busted in and tried to tell me I had a man in my room.
00:44:17She's still watching.
00:44:21Well, let's give her something to watch.
00:44:28Stay out here in the got for the watchman.
00:44:31If I see him coming, I'll honk the horn.
00:44:33Blow it three times so I'll know it's you.
00:44:34All right, honey.
00:44:36Good luck.
00:44:38Good luck.
00:45:06All right, I've heard of the wait.
00:45:06Come on.
00:45:22All right.
00:45:22Thank you, John.
00:45:23Good luck.
00:45:24Good luck.
00:45:29Now, guys, I'm here to see you.
00:45:31Well, I know I'm here.
00:45:31OK, I'm here.
00:45:34Here's what I want.
00:48:27Let's get out of here quick.
00:48:57Did you get the money?
00:48:58You got the money in your pocket to pay your way out.
00:48:59Yeah.
00:49:00Yeah, that's right.
00:49:01I've got the money.
00:49:02That'll square everything on it.
00:49:04I wonder how much there is.
00:49:06Feels like a lot.
00:49:08Let's take it up to my room and count it.
00:49:10All right.
00:49:11All right.
00:49:28Pull down her shades.
00:49:41Five hundred in each of these packages.
00:49:42Two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:49:46That's $3,500.
00:49:47$3,600.
00:49:48All right.
00:49:50All right.
00:49:5120, 40, 60, 80, 90, 100, 110.
00:49:58That's $3,610.
00:50:00Yeah, that's a lot of dough.
00:50:02I got some more money than I could make in a year working every day.
00:50:07What's the coppers?
00:50:12Just like I thought.
00:50:13What's the big idea?
00:50:14Who said you can come in?
00:50:15I have rules in this house.
00:50:17This is a clean, respectable place.
00:50:19Well, you've got no right in here.
00:50:20Now, get out.
00:50:21I don't allow no men in the rooms.
00:50:23Not in my house.
00:50:24And I am not leaving until he goes.
00:50:30You're leaving right now.
00:50:32Maybe you'd rather I call the cops.
00:50:34Why, you old bad-lackers.
00:50:35Let's out it out, will you?
00:50:36We don't want any trouble, especially now.
00:50:37Maybe I ought to go.
00:50:41You think you can take care of everything all right?
00:50:44Oh.
00:50:45Yeah, sure, Danny.
00:50:46Don't worry.
00:50:48I can take care of everything.
00:50:51I'll call you in the morning.
00:50:57I don't want any of your kind around here.
00:51:00When you're rent's up, you can move out.
00:51:03Scram!
00:51:06Hello.
00:51:07Is Vera Novak there?
00:51:08Hey, you're going to wait that thing out today.
00:51:09Oh, this is her.
00:51:10Why don't you forget about it?
00:51:11She's just a matter of the place.
00:51:12Will you do me a favor and shut up, please?
00:51:15Sorry.
00:51:15Oh, this is her day off.
00:51:16She wouldn't be at the restaurant.
00:51:18Look, when she comes in, would you tell her to call Dan Brady at Mackey Motor?
00:51:21It's very important.
00:51:21As soon as she comes in.
00:51:22All right.
00:51:28Well, Brady.
00:51:28Well?
00:51:29I didn't see that green sedan when I came down this morning.
00:51:32No, you didn't, did you?
00:51:34Does that mean you can't get it back?
00:51:35You mean anything you want it to me.
00:51:37Well, then I assume you intend to pay for the car instead.
00:51:40Oh, do you?
00:51:41How long will it take you to get the money?
00:51:44I've got it already.
00:51:45Yeah?
00:51:46Yeah.
00:51:47Fine.
00:51:47Why don't you come right into the office?
00:51:49Well, I haven't got it on me.
00:51:50I have to pick it up tonight after work.
00:51:52I can bring it in the morning.
00:51:54Why wait till tomorrow?
00:51:55I'll come right back after dinner tonight.
00:51:57You can see me in the office then.
00:52:00Well, it might be, it might be 10 o'clock or so.
00:52:03It's all right, Brady.
00:52:05It's perfectly all right.
00:52:07See you tonight.
00:52:12Mackey Motor.
00:52:14Hello, Vera.
00:52:15Where have you been?
00:52:18Did you take care of everything all right?
00:52:22Good.
00:52:23Well, that's swell, baby.
00:52:24Look, I'll, uh, I'll be over and see you tonight since I get off work, right after 6 o'clock.
00:52:29Goodbye.
00:52:45Is that you, Danny?
00:52:46Yeah.
00:52:47Come right in.
00:52:57Isn't it beautiful, Danny?
00:53:01Oh, Danny.
00:53:02Danny.
00:53:03I might never have had it if it hadn't been for you.
00:53:05Where'd you get the coat?
00:53:06I bought it.
00:53:07Thought it was what?
00:53:08With my share of the money.
00:53:12Here's your end.
00:53:13$1,800.
00:53:15You took half that door and bought a coat with it?
00:53:17Not just a coat, Danny.
00:53:18A mean coat.
00:53:19You sold me out.
00:53:21Oh, now, just a minute.
00:53:22Who told you where the money was?
00:53:23Who told you how to get it?
00:53:25Isn't that worth half?
00:53:26I can't use half.
00:53:26I need $3,000.
00:53:27Oh, don't be a chump.
00:53:29Nobody expects to get everything you ask for.
00:53:31Make him an offer.
00:53:32That's what I did.
00:53:33What you did?
00:53:34Sure.
00:53:35This coat cost $2,000.
00:53:36I told the furrier $1,800 was all I had and he could take it or leave it.
00:53:40He took it.
00:53:42What for this to be old man?
00:53:44Tell him it's all you could raise.
00:53:45I bet anything he takes it.
00:54:14I bet anything he takes it.
00:54:23Well, Brady, I'm glad you're doing the sensible thing.
00:54:34But only $1,800 here.
00:54:36That's right.
00:54:37Where's the rest of it?
00:54:38I couldn't dig it up.
00:54:40Take it or leave it.
00:54:43I'll take it.
00:54:55Get me the police station.
00:54:57What's the idea?
00:54:58I told you I'd forget about the whole thing for $3,000, but not for $1,800.
00:55:04Now, if you've got the rest of it on you, you'd better pay me now before it's too late.
00:55:08Oh, I get...
00:55:09Get up!
00:55:11Get away with me!
00:55:12Get away!
00:55:14Get away!
00:55:15Get away!
00:55:15Get away!
00:55:17Get away!
