00:01:42Hold it, boy.
00:01:43Hold it.
00:01:43Before we get out, let's remember the agreement.
00:01:46Set your brakes, turn your lights off and take your keys with you if you wish.
00:01:50Now, one hour.
00:01:52There's now 11 p.m.
00:01:55One hour.
00:01:56Then we all leave quietly.
00:01:57No matter how much money you've won or how many girls you've met.
00:02:00I'll repeat for the record, one hour.
00:02:02Has there ever been such a college boy before?
00:02:05So anxious to get back to his studies.
00:02:07Not the thought of winning $10,000 at a crap table merely disgusts him.
00:02:11Could be that girl, too.
00:02:12Who's that?
00:02:13That heavenly girl.
00:02:17Hey.

00:02:55Your old daddy flew one of those in the war, sir.
00:02:58Now, was that how you were killed in action, sir?
00:03:00Yes, indeed.
00:03:13I 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.
00:03:36Is 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.
00:03:43Well, if you've got a system, you might as well get it out of your system.
00:03:46That's what I was saying.
00:03:48And you know he always does say that?
00:03:49Sir, I wonder if you'd arranged 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.

00:05:03I might, sir.
00:05:05Excuse me?
00:05:08How's the play?
00:05:09I put it down, they pick it up.
00:05:11They'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
00:05:19every time I see that happening to my money.
00:05:21Well, does it bother you when it's my money that's going?
00:05:24No, not as long as you assure me you've got plenty more.
00:05:29One red.
00:05:30You mind my standing here?
00:05:33I haven't called for a guard, have I?

00:20:27the girl i knew couldn't sing a note

00:21:12and these weren't cheap little liars al
00:21:15they meant it i guess
00:21:17but there's something about being away to college

00:25:05Here, Brick.
00:25:14Listen to me, Brick.
00:25:17You know, it might not be a bad idea
00:25:19going back to the vet's hospital.
00:25:21I'm not going back. I'm not going back.
00:25:23I don't want any part of that cage.
00:25:26Well, they were only trying to help you.
00:25:28Treat you like an animal, like something under a rock.
00:25:31All the time telling you you're psycho.
00:25:33A lot of guys went through shock like you did.
00:25:35Look, Al, I'm okay. I'm okay.
00:25:38Sure, sure, you're okay. You're in great shape.
00:25:40But 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? Are you tired of having me hanging on your back?
00:25:49Okay, I'll get out of here. I'll get out now.
00:25:50You're not going anywhere.
00:25:52They told you to call, didn't they, huh?
00:25:53Give us a call, Captain,
00:25:54in case 3742 starts going off his rocker again.
00:25:57I'm not making any calls.
00:26:00Are you sure?
00:26:02Sure.
00:26:14Hey.
00:26:26You know, you really could have hurt that kid at the club.
00:26:32I know.
00:26:37What do you think's going to happen to you if you...
00:26:43be sensible, Brick?
00:26:45Go over and have a talk with the doc.
00:26:52Look, Al, I'm a lot better now.
00:26:55This isn't going to happen again.
00:26:56I just had a couple of drinks too many.
00:26:58You're not sure?
00:26:59That's what you set up in San Francisco last year with that cab driver.
00:27:02Yeah, but, Al, these things take time.
00:27:03That's all I need.
00:27:04Just a little time.
00:27:06Sure.
00:27:11As doctors hear about tonight, it'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.
00:27:19I promise.
00:27:26Brick, you're going to...
00:27:30You're going to have to watch yourself.
00:27:32I know.
00:27:35It'll work out.
00:27:38It'll work out.
00:27:41It'll work out.
00:28:05Well, this is the last time I'm going to double-ding with you.
00:28:07You know, she's danced like seven miles of unpaved road.
00:28:11Spiggy's got better taste than you have.
00:28:12No, Star.
00:28:14What's happening to me?
00:28:15How could you trap me like this?
00:28:19What's the matter with Brick?
00:28:21Nothing.
00:28:22A good night's sleep won't cure.
00:28:24Well, 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.
00:28:47You can tell me your troubles.
00:28:51How'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?
00:28:59The guy that said that ought to be put away.
00:29:01Brick's okay.
00:29:03Like last night?
00:29:05Well, he had one too many.
00:29:08Then how come you're so quiet today?
00:29:11Well, 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.
00:29:20What are the symptoms?
00:29:22Well, studying that used to take me one hour, now it takes me half the night.
00:29:26In the middle of a law lecture, I suddenly find I'm repeating the marriage ceremony to myself.
00:29:31Now, would you say this is significant?
00:29:33No.
00:29:34Frightening is the word I'd use.
00:29:36You know, I've been places where if you didn't make up your mind in a hurry, you never got a
00:29:40second chance.
00:29:44Honey, you're not in Korea anymore.
00:29:48Nobody's gonna drop a bomb on you now.
00:29:50I'd better do something.
00:29:52What do you want to do, Al?
00:29:55Get married.
00:29:57Now?
00:29:58Yesterday would have been better.
00:30:02What's the big rush?
00:30:04What's the matter with being sure of ourselves?
00:30:06I'm so sure of myself now, I'm nearly dead from it.
00:30:12Guess that's a roadblock, you're not.
00:30:14I may look like the blonde bombshellers who've been every place and done everything, but I'm not.
00:30:20And all these big emotions are wonderful.
00:30:24But they just kind of scare me, too.
00:30:26Look, why don't you just relax, huh?
00:30:29No, unlike you, I can't.
00:30:32I want to get married today, just as much as you do.
00:30:36But then when I stop to think about it, I get so scared, I just want to run.
00:30:55What's the good word?
00:30:57There aren't any good words.
00:30:59They don't make good words the way they used to.
00:31:02Don'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.
00:31:06Tear on over and get cokes for everybody, Speegy.
00:31:10I 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.
00:31:20Hi, Brick.
00:31:21Hi.
00:31:21Hi, hi.
00:31:24Are you coming to our Halloween dance tonight, Brick?
00:31:27Probably not.
00:31:28It's going to be one of the best dances of the year.
00:31:31Sweetheart.
00:31:33Let me tell you something.
00:31:36I 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 going to find Daddy Warbucks.
00:31:43She's just got to.
00:31:45I know.
00:31:46I know.
00:31:51Maybe one of your own would taste better.
00:31:54No, 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.
00:32:05I 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.
00:32:12What you need's a nice girl.
00:32:17Child, what I need's got nothing to do with nice girls.
00:32:20I know what Brick means.
00:32:21I've got it myself.
00:32:23Bored with classes that have just begun and notes I haven't taken yet.
00:32:27Bored 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.
00:32:38A big first.
00:32:40You guys ever hear of a man named Schliemann?
00:32:43Sure.
00:32:43Played first base for the giants.
00:32:45And later invented a plastic breakfast food.
00:32:48He dug up the ancient city of Troy in Greece.
00:32:50Hey, what a cat to dig Troy.
00:32:53It was a first.
00:32:54Get my point?
00:32:55Well, I couldn't hope to do that.
00:32:56That's what we've got to think of.
00:32:57To pull ourselves out of the swamp.
00:32:59To be first at something.
00:33:01Like the guy who flew under the London Bridge.
00:33:05Characters 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.
00:33:12That's all.
00:33:13He's right, though.
00:33:13This boy's got a point.
00:33:15Everybody's got a headache today.
00:33:16We're living in the aspirin age.
00:33:20It's really very simple, Mr. Cruikshank.
00:33:22Now, wait a minute.
00:33:22What if I file these?
00:33:24Up yourself.
00:33:26You bet me five dollars I can't do what?
00:33:28It'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 that I can dry up the water before you stab me on the hands
00:33:43with a knife.
00:33:46All 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.
00:33:57Dangerous moths.
00:33:59Now, you sit right where I was sitting.
00:34:04Come on.
00:34:10Now, remember, five bucks if I dry up the water before you stab my hands.
00:34:15Spiggy, are you sure?
00:34:17I mean the blood.
00:34:19I'm sure.
00:34:20Now, are you ready?
00:34:21Okay.
00:34:22One.
00:34:24Two.
00:34:25Three.
00:34:29They grow up fast these days.
00:34:31Pay me.
00:34:38I'll bet you five dollars that 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.
00:34:51Something you invented?
00:34:57Glad to meet you, mister.
00:34:59Hope I don't have to kill you.
00:35:02Special research.
00:35:03What for?
00:35:04What's my crime?
00:35:05Remember what that cop said in Harold's Club when we got involved in that holdup?
00:35:08He said, there'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 how to rob Harold's Club of a million dollars, maybe more.
00:35:20How much time you figure on researching our penal system?
00:35:22When I say a plan, I mean one where you'd walk away free and clear.
00:35:28You know what Bitsy Brain's doing now?
00:35:32Last year he planned to drain Foster's Lake
00:35:33and collect all the pennies that have been thrown there for the last 130 years.
00:35:38He figured it amount to over $70,000.
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,
00:35:45you'll be with people that understand your language.
00:35:48You really think you could knock off Harold's Club?
00:35:50A joint that's open 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
00:35:5352 weeks out of the year with over a thousand people in it every second?
00:35:56I do?
00:35:57The main cash vault is right in the middle of the floor of the gambling room.
00:36:00It looks like the Rock of Gibraltar and opens like the Panama Canal.
00:36:03There's two doors, both steel-barred, and one doesn't open until the other's closed.
00:36:06Oh, great. That's a cinch.
00:36:08All you need is a hairpin and a toy hammer, huh?
00:36:09Got that all worked out.
00:36:11The only thing left I've got to figure is 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.
00:36:20You really think you could do it?
00:36:21Oh, 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.
00:36:28Now he's a communist. He hates money.
00:36:30He's a crazy, mixed-up rich kid.
00:36:32And they're the worst kind, you know.
00:36:33Yeah.
00:36:35Okay, Mr. First, what's the gimmick?
00:36:37I wouldn't mind being first with a million bucks myself.
00:36:43You lousy steeljack, I'll gut you and shoot my way out of here.
00:36:48It's all done with psychology.
00:36:50A simple and basic motivation.
00:36:53Fear, gentlemen.
00:36:55In this case, worth one million dollars.
00:36:58Gee, a million bucks.
00:37:01Oh, I wouldn't be afraid.
00:37:03I'd be petrified.
00:37:35This must be the place where they rehearsed to back a road.
00:37:39Now, 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.
00:37:46I bought both the car and the trailer, and I did it without leaving a single trace.
00:37:50This is desirable?
00:37:51I used a fictitious name and bought them across the state line from the Schmeiling Dutchman.
00:37:54Who 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?
00:37:59How can I think when I'm blinded?
00:38:01Those folks must have clipped a coupon last night or sold a state.
00:38:04Well, it was just a small one.
00:38:06Rhode Island, wasn't it, Ronnie?
00:38:07It'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 the law I've studied,
00:38:15it's a misdemeanor to ride in a trailer when it is in motion.
00:38:19You think a couple misdemeanors is going to bother Ronnie?
00:38:22He's only interested in felonies.
00:38:24Yeah, but you're still going to have to stop for gas, oil, and water.
00:38:27Everything you need, you'd carry in the trailer.
00:38:29Gasoline, drinking water, candy, foods.
00:38:31Dynamite for blasting out of jail.
00:38:33Oh, and Thanksgiving's a perfect time for it.
00:38:35It's Jamboree Week in Reno, and everybody wears cowboy outfits and false beers.
00:38:38It's like a western Mardi Gras.
00:38:41You, uh, you're talking like this could be done.
00:38:44I mean, actually.
00:38:45It can be done, Brick, and I mean actually.
00:38:47So what? None 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.
00:38:54Well, if we don't keep the money, we're not committing any actual crime.
00:38:56Suppose they grab us before we get a chance to show them we weren't going to keep the money.
00:38:59They won't.
00:39:00I tell you, I've got everything worked out, and it's foolproof.
00:39:02We leave the trailer in Reno.
00:39:03We board a train, and we're out of town before anybody knows we've even been there.
00:39:07Yeah.
00:39:07Bob, what are you shutting up about?
00:39:10It all takes place in seven minutes.
00:39:12At the first stop, we get on the phone and let them know where the money is.
00:39:15Well, you know me, always the first one to tear down the goalpost or any other red-blooded college prank.
00:39:20Please, don't talk about blood.
00:39:22What else do you need?
00:39:23A cart.
00:39:24We'd have to build a cart just like the one we saw at Harold's Club.
00:39:27Yeah.
00:39:28And we'd need another guy.
00:39:30Why?
00:39:31Well, the plan calls for four guys to make it work.
00:39:34Do you think Al would go for it?
00:39:37Not if he knew what he was doing.
00:39:40The last couple of days, I promise you, he hasn't.
00:39:45You think it would work with Al if he didn't know it was up till the last minute?
00:39:51You really need him.
00:39:54It might be fun if we all did it together.
00:39:58Clear out the attic, Mother.
00:39:59I'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.
00:40:05Yeah, I've got to have four guys.
00:40:09How about Speakey?
00:40:11You got Al.
00:40:13Speakey.
00:40:14Shoo.
00:40:34Ancient mariner.
00:40:36Ah, very funny.
00:40:37What are you doing here, Brick? I thought you were backing.
00:40:39How's Kay doing?
00:40:41Oh, fine, fine. Took three encores tonight.
00:40:44And she'll be out of the shower in five minutes.
00:40:47You're getting to be a regular nightclub, Johnny, aren't you?
00:40:49Yeah, I like it.
00:40:52Listen, the guys insist you come along.
00:40:54Vacation starts tomorrow, we 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 private monogram turkey.
00:41:03Maybe we win a couple of dollars at roulette.
00:41:05Mm-mm. I can have more fun right here.
00:41:09You know, it might do you and Kay some good
00:41:11not to see each other for a week or so.
00:41:13You know the old gag about absence makes the thump.
00:41:17Yeah, I know that old gag.
00:41:20Brick, this year we're stuffing our turkey with dressing rooms,
00:41:22not dressing.
00:41:36Who is it?
00:41:40Why?
00:41:41No reason, except I'm just out of the shower.
00:41:46You know, I, uh, never told you,
00:41:49but I used to have a job in a lady's Turkish bath.
00:41:51Hey, what about those Turkish women? Pretty cute?
00:41:53Yeah, but they all are Turkish men.
00:41:56Oh, you do get the bat breaks, don't you?
00:41:58Mm-hmm.
00:41:58You know, a soap opera is a fast, funny musical
00:42:01compared to my life.
00:42:06However, there are moments
00:42:07I wouldn't trade for mountains of uranium.
00:42:12You know, I've been doing a lot of thinking about us.
00:42:15Oh? You too?
00:42:17You told me the boys invited you to go along with them to Reno
00:42:20over the Thanksgiving holidays.
00:42:22Yeah, Brick's outside now trying to sign me on.
00:42:24You know, why they should want me with my sad faces
00:42:26more than I can figure.
00:42:29You know, I was thinking
00:42:32that if you went along with them
00:42:33and we didn't see each other until after you got back,
00:42:38well, I just thought that
00:42:40that it would give us a week to get away from each other
00:42:43and just kind of think things over.
00:42:46Sure.
00:42:51Don't get sore out.
00:42:53It's just that one moment again.
00:42:55Look, girl, 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, Al.
00:43:00It's not the seven long miserable days, baby.
00:43:02It's the fact that you still have to think up trick gimmicks
00:43:04to 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.
00:43:08Do you?
00:43:09Well, 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
00:43:15of the person you're supposed to be in love with.
00:43:17Have you noticed my feelings lately?
00:43:17They're pretty well beat.
00:43:18You feel real sorry for yourself, don't you?
00:43:20I don't feel sorry for myself.
00:43:22I feel sorry for you.
00:43:24You just can't make up your mind, can you?
00:43:28Al?
00:43:28What?
00:43:33Let's forget what I said.
00:43:36Maybe 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.
00:43:45I'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,
00:43:50and you can make up your mind.
00:43:52Help, please.
00:44:02Let's get out of here.
00:44:04Sure.
00:44:05When are you leaving for Reno?
00:44:06In the morning?
00:44:07I don't care.
00:44:08The 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 that.
00:44:26The house rules?
00:44:30Thanks, Larry.
00:44:37Would there be any room in there for my things?
00:44:40I don't know.
00:44:41Depends on where you're going.
00:44:44I hear they marry people in a hurry in Reno.
00:44:47I have a friend who's going there.
00:44:55What you've been going through
00:44:57is anything like what I've been going through.
00:44:59And I'm marrying the toughest guy in the world.
00:45:05You're absolutely sure now.
00:45:08I've been boiled in an aisle.
00:45:10And I know what I'm doing.
00:45:19Well, I know I should get the street lay out of here,
00:45:21but I'm going to stay and watch.
00:45:23We're getting married.
00:45:25Hey, I said we're getting married.
00:45:26Yeah, I heard you.
00:45:27I was just wondering if I should sing something appropriate.
00:45:31Easy, boy, easy.
00:45:32That'll ruin you for all other men.
00:45:34Well, I think you two are going to 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 would mind giving us a lift as far as Reno.
00:45:45We'll leave you fast enough after that.
00:45:47Oh.
00:45:48Well, never mind.
00:45:48We'll catch a train.
00:45:49Come on, I'll take you home.
00:45:53Hey, wait a minute.
00:45:54You're going to need money like you never needed money before,
00:45:57like you never dreamed of.
00:45:58And this child is not going to travel along with you
00:46:00until you've done the right thing by her.
00:46:02Old Brick's going to 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?
00:46:11We'll see you, Brick.
00:46:13Good night.
00:46:13Good night.
00:46:18Good night.
00:46:27Good night.
00:46:27Good night.
00:46:32Good night.
00:46:34Good night.
00:46:35Good night.
00:46:35Good night.
00:46:35Good night.
00:46:35Good night.
00:46:35Good night.
00:46:35Good night.
00:46:35Good night.
00:46:36Good night.
00:46:36Good night.
00:46:38Good night.
00:46:40Good night.
00:46:42Good night.
00:46:49Time and time I struck those tresses in the years long since gone by.
00:46:53Now I find them everywhere in the butter and in the pie.
00:46:58Pick a little day, don't.
00:47:05Down with three.
00:47:07Next time, Jim. Come on.
00:47:09Oh, think you're pretty smart, huh?
00:47:13Haven't seen you look so sharp since Tokyo, buddy.
00:47:16Look sharp, be sharp.
00:47:19Hey, 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. It's against the law.
00:47:31Oh, well, we just won't tell the cops what we're doing, that's all.
00:47:34Okay by me, it's your funeral.
00:47:37Hey, you hungry?
00:47:38Star.
00:47:39What do you say we stop the next town and get a bite to eat?
00:47:41When we're so completely self-sufficient, everything we need is right here.
00:47:45Food, gas and oil, water, you name it.
00:47:47Yeah, we figured on getting you two to Reno non-stop.
00:47:51Come on, Brick, let's eat.
00:47:52Right.
00:47:55Complete down to the red, rough hands.
00:48:02Where'd you get the card, Ronnie?
00:48:04I built it. Electric torch, book of instructions.
00:48:08Tom Swift and his radioactive uncle, you know?
00:48:10I didn't know you could do anything like that, Ronnie.
00:48:14Not a bad job, either.
00:48:17Pretty nice along the seams.
00:48:18Al, here are your sandwiches.
00:48:22Something 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.
00:48:32Okay.
00:49:12This ye pull me from Luc.
00:49:14I haven't seen the bole some or anything croisades, man.
00:49:19We've seen a giant honey book I showed you down.
00:49:19Feels a great deal.
00:49:21I'll trade you down.
00:49:22I'm fortunate.
00:49:24I haven't seen any trouble even.
00:49:29A real wish were on that side of me.
00:49:33And the joy was worth the pain of it
00:49:39I went out of my mind
00:49:42When you stopped being kind and gentle
00:49:48And I laughed and I thought
00:49:50You're just being temperamental
00:49:57Though it's ancient history to you
00:50:02I've kept a memory or two
00:50:05It's to go out of my way
00:50:08To be out of this world with you
00:50:14Now, is this what you've been yelling about for so long?
00:50:16Just about.
00:50:19You know, I must have been baddie to be scared about us.
00:50:22Well, you were young.
00:50:26You changed all that.
00:50:28I was young, happy, successful at my work
00:50:31And now you're taking me out of all this
00:50:33Well, sometimes a little misery and poverty
00:50:35It's character building
00:50:37That's what I want to build first, character
00:50:45Don'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
00:50:51What happens if someone in Harold's club starts shooting?
00:50:54You know, with guns?
00:50:55I told you no guns
00:50:56Yeah, but you didn't tell them
00:50:58This plan is absolutely foolproof
00:51:00He's a genius
00:51:01If 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
00:51:13It's an example of real positive thinking
00:51:16Listen, 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
00:51:22Staring up at a ring of strange faces
00:51:24With bullet holes in our heads
00:51:26Just wipe the cards and relax
00:51:30I've just rubbed this queen of spades so hard
00:51:32I turned her into a jack
00:51:35We'll pull off the road up ahead
00:51:36It's good and dark outside
00:51:37Brick, you bury all that stuff
00:51:39Break the glass jugs and scatter the pieces
00:51:42When do these go on?
00:51:43When we stop, I'll take care of that
00:51:46Roy, your job is to keep Al and Kay busy
00:51:48While we handle everything here
00:51:49Keep them busy
00:51:50I never saw two busier people in my whole life
00:51:53They haven't stopped once
00:51:59What are you folks going to say about this?
00:52:01It's been the ambition of the whole family
00:52:03To 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?
00:52:10Oh, they pick out from behind the curtain
00:52:12And look at you
00:52:16Hey, you trying for some insurance money or something?
00:52:21I just lost all my shame for a minute
00:52:23Well, don't go looking for it
00:52:28You know you're a nut, but I love you
00:52:37You know you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut,
00:52:40you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a
00:52:46nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're
00:52:48a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut,
00:52:50you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a
00:52:51nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're
00:52:52a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut, you're a nut
00:53:02Harold's Club.
00:53:05Sure, that's what it looks like.
00:53:08You're right. It looks like a dead ringer, doesn't it?
00:53:12Glad to meet you, mister. Hope I don't have to kill you.
00:53:15You lousy steel jack, I'll gut you and shoot my way out of here.
00:53:19What's the pitch? Brilliant, isn't it?
00:53:22Now watch.
00:53:25Yeah, Jack, you getting this?
00:53:28Get going.
00:53:30What is it?
00:53:31I don't know.
00:53:32It's the greatest hoax of the century.
00:53:34As nefarious as Fu Manchu and as practical as a zipper.
00:53:37It's a way to hold up Harold's Club in Reno and get away with it.
00:53:40A perfect crime.
00:53:43Did you know about this brick?
00:53:46Yeah, sure, I knew about it.
00:53:48Yeah. You set him up for it, huh?
00:53:50No, it's his own idea, not mine.
00:53:54Well, there's no harm done yet.
00:53:56At least you haven't broken any laws as far as I can see,
00:53:58but you're trying hard for sell blocking your varsity number.
00:54:02Ronnie, how could you dream up such a thing?
00:54:03I 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,
00:54:08and you treat me like a hardened criminal.
00:54:09All right, let's pull this rig over the side of the road.
00:54:12Okay, Al.
00:54:17All right, honey.
00:54:19You stay here in the trailer with Ronnie there.
00:54:40How could you let these kids fool around with anything this stupid, Rick?
00:54:43Oh, you know how raw he is.
00:54:44He'll go along with anything for laughs.
00:54:47Well, Ronnie's gone to a lot of trouble and expense.
00:54:50He'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.
00:54:55He could do anything, but how about you?
00:54:57Me?
00:54:58Yeah, you.
00:54:58I'm dead serious.
00:55:00Come 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.
00:55:10All right.
00:55:11Any 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.
00:55:18We 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.
00:55:28Every 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.
00:55:33Keep 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.
00:55:41I wasn't cut out for law.
00:55:44Well, 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 fast.
00:55:53How much money you got in your pocket right now, huh?
00:55:56How much you think you're going to have a year after you get out of school?
00:55:58Ten, twenty, fifty 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, Al, with a fortune.
00:56:05Tonight, Al, tonight you can have 50,000 bucks, maybe.
00:56:08You and Kay could look kind of higher than that.
00:56:09I hear words, and they don't make sense.
00:56:12Counting on you.
00:56:15Counting on me?
00:56:16Sure.
00:56:16I figured it right down the line, just like old times, Al.
00:56:19Look, Brick, you saved my life once.
00:56:21I'm grateful to you for that.
00:56:23I'm going to help you.
00:56:25We're going over that trailer, get that card out, and shove it over right down there.
00:56:29Then we're going into Reno and forget we ever had this conversation.
00:56:34Al?
00:56:34Yeah?
00:56:37You know, when you first decided to bring Kay along, it kind of worried me.
00:56:41Now I can see how it's going to help.
00:56:44You leave Kay out of this, Brick.
00:56:47You know why?
00:56:49I've got a partner holed up for her, too.
00:56:51She's going to drive the car.
00:56:57Hey, you only got one punch for me, old buddy?
00:57:01Don't push me, Brick.
00:57:05If you involve Kay in anything, I'm going to kill you.
00:57:10Hey, 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.
00:57:21Ronnie, go in that trailer and bring that card out here.
00:57:23Al.
00:57:27No guns, Brick.
00:57:28The deal was no guns.
00:57:29Now, this is the way it works.
00:57:30You three stay inside the trailer.
00:57:32Give me the trailer key, Ronnie.
00:57:35I'm going to toss it.
00:57:42Kay.
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 so he'll know what he's doing when we get to Harold's Club.
00:57:50You won't get away with this, Brick.
00:57:52Gun or no gun?
00:57:53Yes, I will.
00:57:56You want to know why?
00:57:58Because your only chance of getting out of this thing alive is 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?
00:58:07Yeah, that's right.
00:58:08I should have told you guys before.
00:58:09Shut up.
00:58:10That's where we're...
00:58:12Look at the evidence, counselor.
00:58:14Who bought the trailer in the car you're riding in?
00:58:17Ronnie.
00:58:18He used a phony name and address.
00:58:21And the license plates don't go with this rig, either.
00:58:25Roy bought the groceries.
00:58:27And 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?
00:58:35I mean, you and Kay just came along for the ride, but who's going to believe it was just to
00:58:39get married?
00:58:41You're part of a gang, Al.
00:58:43He hasn't done anything.
00:58:45The police aren't going to believe that.
00:58:47I'll take my chances.
00:58:50Maybe you don't read me.
00:58:52If you guys don't back me up, I'm going to rob Harold's Club all by myself.
00:58:57You couldn't break, not by yourself.
00:59:00Well, then I'll say it again slowly so you'll understand.
00:59:04I'm going to rob Harold's Club, with or without you guys.
00:59:09And I'm going to use the gimmick that you figured, Ronnie.
00:59:11They'll follow you around like Lady Godiva.
00:59:14Well, you better pray I make it.
00:59:16Because if I get caught, I'm going to drag you all in with me.
00:59:20Ron, get in the back like he says.
00:59:23Now you're thinking straight, Al.
00:59:26Oh, I want that cart moved up in the back seat of the car where I can watch it.
00:59:30Covered up with a blanket.
00:59:32Come on, move.
00:59:44And then you walk up to the guy with the cart, see?
00:59:46And you say, uh,
00:59:49I guess you don't remember me.
00:59:50Mr. Gunderson introduced us, but that was a long time ago.
00:59:56Oh, look, Al.
00:59:58You play this through with me, you're not going to get in any trouble.
01:00:03You were forced into a crime.
01:00:04Now even I can defend you on that.
01:00:07I should have sent you back to that hospital the night you clubbed with that kid at the club.
01:00:12I'm not going back there, Al.
01:00:15I wouldn't have gone back there then.
01:00:16I'm not going back now either.
01:00:20I'll do anything to keep from going back there, Al.
01:00:24Anything you get that.
01:00:26This is the best way I know to get there.
01:00:29After I get that money, I'm going to put a million miles between me and the doctors.
01:00:35I can't live with that place hanging over my head, Al.
01:00:38You 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, but I'll cut you down, Al.
01:00:45Even you, I'll cut you down if you try to stop me, see?
01:00:46You've made that point enough.
01:00:50You think I'm crummy, don't you?
01:00:53No, I don't think you're crummy. I know you're sick.
01:00:57I'm sick enough to let you stop me.
01:01:01I'm not going to stop you, prick.
01:01:04I'm going to help you because I don't want a lot of innocent people to get messed up.
01:01:07If you kill anyone, I'd feel responsible.
01:01:09Al, Al...
01:01:10Now shut up, shut up!
01:01:13I'm liable to get sick myself.
01:01:22I'm not going to stop you.
01:01:51Kay, take this.
01:01:55Why?
01:01:56In 65 seconds, Brick will stop.
01:01:58He'll unhitch the trailer and abandon it.
01:02:0130 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.
01:02:16Why are you telling me this?
01:02:18I know how Brick thinks.
01:02:21My job is to drop the cart at the alley entrance
01:02:23three 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?
01:02:34No.
01:02:36But he will trust Kay.
01:02:37The minute he turns his head, I'm gonna yell for the first policeman I see.
01:02:42Not if you want Al alive.
01:02:44Brick could kill him for sure.
01:02:49Take this.
01:02:51You 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.
01:03:01Now, don't talk like that, Ronnie.
01:03:04Listen, maybe Kay is right.
01:03:05Maybe 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.
01:03:15That's not all.
01:03:16He'd kill a lot of innocent people before they stopped him.
01:03:20No, we've got to wait and let the professionals catch him after the holdup.
01:03:25It'll all be over in seven minutes.
01:03:31It wasn't just a stunt, Roy.
01:03:33I 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.
01:04:12All right.
01:04:14Bring out the cowboy outfits.
01:04:20Unhitch it.
01:04:28Come on, start putting that stuff on.
01:04:43All right, 25 seconds.
01:04:46I'm going to say this once, Kay.
01:04:49Ronnie's supposed to deliver the car to the back entrance of Harold's Club
01:04:51three minutes and 15 seconds after we enter.
01:04:54Then he's supposed to park the car in Harold's garage.
01:04:57Now, this is a change of plans.
01:05:00Ronnie's going to stay with me and you do his job.
01:05:03Drive the car, follow us.
01:05:05I'll point out the spot for you to leave the cart.
01:05:08The garage is across the tracks from the club.
01:05:11And if the cart isn't there, three minutes and 15 seconds after we enter,
01:05:15on the button,
01:05:17I'm going to kill Al.
01:05:20I thought I told you to leave her out of this.
01:05:24You put your beards on.
01:05:29Okay, time.
01:05:31Make up your mind, Kay.
01:05:33We're rolling.
01:05:34Six minutes after we get into Harold's Club, we'll be out.
01:05:36You'll see a train.
01:05:37Get on it.
01:05:38We'll enter different cars and meet you later.
01:05:41Ronnie's going to buy the tickets on the train.
01:05:47All right, Al, you decide.
01:05:51Al, he's insane.
01:05:53Do what he says.
01:06:20I'll do it, Al, you know.
01:06:35Let's move.
01:06:40Under the light, due to due.
01:06:42First test.
01:06:43Here we go now.
01:06:44Come out in the winter.
01:06:45You're out on night, Dave.
01:06:48Take your main line now.
01:06:50Thank you, sir.
01:07:04Five and a four now, sir.
01:07:06Hi.
01:07:08Ah, hi.
01:07:08I, uh, I guess you don't remember me.
01:07:11Mr. Gunderson introduced us.
01:07:13Not while you meet an awful lot of people.
01:07:15Sure, sure, I know, but I want to go talk to you.
01:07:17Mr. Board, you can spare a second.
01:07:20Uh-huh.
01:07:21Don't turn your head too quickly, but if you look over your right shoulder, you'll see a man.
01:07:31What about him?
01:07:33Well, that man's my partner. He's got a gun pointed at your back.
01:07:37If you make the wrong move in the next second, you'll do it.
01:07:40You getting it?
01:07:42Yeah, I hear you.
01:07:43No, don't look up there. Look at me.
01:07:49Seven winner mainline.
01:07:51I know they're watching us up there.
01:07:55Right about now, you'd better start smiling.
01:07:58Look at me and smile.
01:07:59This is a friendly conversation if somebody's watching.
01:08:03Smile.
01:08:06You're better than that.
01:08:13What are we gonna do now?
01:08:15Well, you're gonna push your cart down to the blackjack table at the head of the stairs, right next to
01:08:19the 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 asked her to.
01:08:28While we're walking down there, you keep looking at us and smiling.
01:08:32Okay.
01:08:33Get going.
01:08:49Keep an eye on this for me.
01:08:52Okay.
01:09:01Keep an eye on this for me.
01:09:03Okay.
01:09:04Don't look at the ceiling.
01:09:06Just go out there in the alley.
01:09:07Just smile.
01:09:10Keep smiling.
01:09:18Sorry, 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.
01:09:30Give me that cigarette.
01:09:34You yell for helping me run.
01:09:35Let's save your boss a little money, but...
01:09:38Just before we run, I'm gonna kill you.
01:09:53That's right.
01:09:55That's a duplicate.
01:09:56You'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.
01:10:04They'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.
01:10:14Then you tie the sack up, put it on top of the cart and push it right back here.
01:10:17You got that?
01:10:19Sure.
01:10:20I guess you're wondering why you ought to do this once you're inside, huh?
01:10:25Well, that crossed my mind.
01:10:28Meet the other member of our group.
01:10:32Glad 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 and then out again.
01:10:46Wanna know why?
01:10:49Tell him why, Charlie.
01:10:51Guy in there's five feet tall.
01:10:53No bigger than most jockeys.
01:10:54He served time.
01:10:55I won't say where.
01:10:57He's out because he escaped.
01:10:59He says he'll never serve time again.
01:11:01You louse this deal, Jack.
01:11:03I'll gut you and shoot my way out of here.
01:11:05See, he's gonna watch all the time through these louvers.
01:11:08The top isn't fastened down.
01:11:09All he has to do is stand up when he's shooting.
01:11:11At you.
01:11:13Got that?
01:11:14Yeah, Jack. You getting this?
01:11:17Yeah.
01:11:18Get going.
01:11:19You're due back in the vault now.
01:11:22Don't stall on the way and set off the alarm or a friend in here's gonna have to dust you.
01:11:47Jackpot! I did it! I did it! I did it! I did it! I did it!
01:11:52Another giant $1,000 jacket. Machine C-408. A $1,000 jacket.
01:12:04What are you doing?
01:12:14I'm gonna go.
01:12:14You gotta go!
01:12:16I'm gonna go!
01:12:18I'm gonna go!
01:12:20I'm gonna go!
01:12:22I'm gonna go!
01:12:26I'm gonna go!
01:13:27Yeah, it's a 10-cent machine.
01:13:33Yeah.
01:13:34Where's the quarter machine?
01:13:35They're, uh, down that way.
01:13:38Okay, good luck.
01:13:52Yeah, guys, you're coming right out.
01:13:54Coming right out on the old come-out road.
01:13:56Come out on the other side.
01:14:24You got to go.
01:14:31Now, look, Eric, we're going to pick up a bag now and go out that door.
01:14:36We're going to a car we got way down the alley.
01:14:39We're going to blow the horn twice.
01:14:40Now, the minute he hears it in there, he's going to push out the sides and go out the door,
01:14:45too.
01:14:46And you wait right here till you hear the horn honk twice.
01:14:49You getting this?
01:14:51Yeah, I'm getting it.
01:14:54Look, I've done everything you've asked me.
01:14:57I don't want him getting wild if you're asking me.
01:15:02Just follow instructions and nobody's going to get hurt.
01:15:05He's not going to shoot anybody. He doesn't have to.
01:15:13Look out! There's a man with a gun in there!
01:15:23Brick, this has gone far enough.
01:15:39I'm okay.
01:16:03Al, I've gone to the police. I've told them to stay back.
01:16:06Please, darling, please. It's too late. It's in their heads.
01:16:08Look, Brick's a real sick guy, but he's not going to hurt anybody unless he's crowded.
01:16:11Now, tell him to stay back and give me a chance with him.
01:16:13Tell him!
01:16:17L, he's so excited to see him.
01:16:20Thank you, guys.
01:16:23I'm so excited.
01:17:27Hey, mister, did you see a big fellow come by here carrying a bag?
01:17:30Nope.
01:17:33Uh, sorry, sir.
01:17:34No people, just cars.
01:17:36Look, I gotta find this guy.
01:17:37Look, Buster, sorry.
01:17:38No people, just cars.
01:17:59Brick!
01:18:01Brick, where are you?
01:18:04Brick!
01:18:15Brick!
01:18:29Brick!
01:18:30You'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 psycho, especially if he's got a gun.
01:18:45Stay back!
01:18:51Stop!
01:18:53Hold it, Matt.
01:19:21Brick!
01:19:22Brick, it's me.
01:19:26How?
01:19:42I'm not crowding you.
01:19:50I wouldn't crowding you, Brick.
01:19:55I'm gonna kill you.
01:19:59I'm going away.
01:20:03I thought maybe you'd like to come with me.
01:20:09I'm gonna kill you.
01:20:21Do you remember the time you brought me in?
01:20:29I had a hole in my side.
01:20:33The commies were shooting at you, then.
01:20:39You remember the tracer bullets?
01:20:45How they lit up the snow and made it look all red?
01:20:53Remember.
01:20:53You remember.
01:20:55Uh.
01:20:59Uh.
01:21:03Uh.
01:21:07Uh.
01:21:09Uh.
01:21:09Uh.
01:21:09I don't know.
01:21:53Just because I wanted to be a Mr. First.
01:22:02Hey.
01:22:08And, uh, will you check his records?
01:22:10We check everything.
01:22:11In Washington, I mean.
01:22:12I got most of the details from her. I'll get the rest from you.
01:22:17What's gonna happen to him?
01:22:19Well, he'll have to stay in the hospital this time until he's well.
01:22:23Certainly is a terrible way for you to start your marriage.
01:22:27You mean there's another way?
01:22:29Sure is.
01:22:30Sure is, honey.
01:23:02Good night.
