00:05The End
00:38The End
01:15Hot joke, folks, bud. Just off the boat. Still wet and hot. Don't turn around. Boy, the cops is waiting
01:19on this. What do you say? A half a buck, four bits, half a banana. What do you say, huh?
01:30Say, these pages are all black. Are you kidding? Of course the pages are blank. Invisible ink. You've got to
01:35hold it in front of a flame. Too hot to carry.
01:39Hey, Lefty! Lefty! Boy, I've been hunting all over for you. I'm really knocked out. Here. The landlady said to
01:47give you this wire.
01:53Oh, boy. Happy Days is here again. Good news, huh? You ain't kidding. Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, Lefty.
01:59Haven't you forgotten something? How about crossing my palm with a little mullet?
02:04Well, uh, I tell you. I want to do you the biggest favor you like. Yeah? You are now the
02:09owner of the biggest publishing house in New York.
02:12But not... Thanks.
02:25What the fuck, madam? Pay our rent or out you go. What, my dear madam? You are placing the country
02:31in jeopardy. We are at war, madam. And Tungsten is the backbone of a nation. Do your part. I have
02:37here a gilt-edged hair of the Epidabo Montana Tungsten Tunnels. Take it.
02:41Oh, in six months, you too can become a war profiteer. People hate you as they hate me. You said
02:48it. But what will you care? You will be rolling in millions. Ten dollar bills will lose from your family.
02:54I don't want millions. I want six dollars and forty cents. Now, what do you want? A telegram for you,
03:04Mr. Phony Deacon David. Thank you.
03:12Madam, you fell into something. You are now the sole owner of the Epidabo Tungsten Tunnels. And may the Priority
03:21Board have mercy on your soul.
03:33Hey, buddy. I got a tip for you. That is a firecracker. The two for me. Rose Quartz. The second.
03:42Second? This is the third. Rose Quartz ran last.
03:45Smart, huh? Hey, lady. Don't be a moocher. Don't be a chump.
03:49Huh? Get smart. I got a tip for you. Fifteen to one. It comes straight from the jockey. The horse
03:56loves me. I give him sugar.
03:57Sugar? Well, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Haven't you heard?
04:00Huh? Phony, how's things?
04:02Oh, Coyle, it takes us from hunger.
04:04I got a telegram for you.
04:11Phony, what do you got for me in the next race?
04:17Corley, you was talking to the wrong character. I ain't interested in horses no more.
04:22Bitter tout.
04:51Gee, boss, I'm hungry. I can't take it.
04:54Yeah, that goes for me, too.
04:57Shut up.
04:58I've been feeding you for years, ain't I?
05:00Yeah, but not for the last three days.
05:02I said shut up.
05:04You got a nickel mouse?
05:05You mean a slug.
05:07All right, a slug.
05:08Give it to me.
05:09Give it to me.
05:17Give with a body English.
05:19I'll hit the jackpot we eat.
05:21If not, get your gats ready.
05:24We're going to do a little job in the cigar store.
05:42Uh, tilted.
05:46All right, get your rods ready.
05:48Going for the register.
05:50Oh, oh, boss.
05:52I forgot.
05:53I got a telegram here for you.
05:56I'll have to beat your brains, then.
06:08All right.
06:11Put your gats away.
06:12We're going to Central City.
06:19You ready, boss?
06:20Yeah, thanks, Doc.
06:21How's three-fingered Louie?
06:22Oh, he's swell.
06:23Good.
06:23You look like a juvenile, Doc.
06:25I live right.
06:25I'm telling you, there's no fun being honest.
06:27Help yourself to a drink.
06:29I gave up the most lucre of the publishing house on 44th Street.
06:31Hello, Leffy.
06:32Hello, Doc.
06:32Hello, Willie.
06:33Hello, Doc.
06:33You should have seen my customers.
06:34There was the 400, some of the 200.
06:36That's nothing.
06:36They were begging me to be their pal.
06:38There was the governor, a couple of isolations, an occasional stool pigeon, and even a lady.
06:42Gentlemen, with a mere $100,000, I've manipulated myself into the presidency of the Appa-Dappa Tungs and Tums.
06:50No, I wouldn't do this for everybody, but I could let you in on a small block.
06:55I'm already in on a large block of government bonds.
06:58I'll talk it over with my broker.
07:00Hello, Mouse.
07:01How's it?
07:01Pretty good.
07:02Hello, Mouse.
07:02Hello, Willie.
07:03Gentlemen.
07:05One moment of silence, please, for our past exalted leader, Big Mike Morgan.
07:18Gee, don't he look natural.
07:20They loved him in Alcatraz.
07:22There was a genius.
07:24And smart, too.
07:25Shut up.
07:26All right, boys.
07:27Let's get down to business.
07:29There was a time not so long ago when we were all sitting pretty.
07:33Remember the take?
07:36But that's all over and has been for a long time.
07:39Things have been tough.
07:41Very tough.
07:42From the moment Big Mike Morgan left us, things went to pot.
07:45With Big Mike went the golden age.
07:47And do you know why?
07:49Because we didn't have a leader.
07:51Remember, gentlemen, united we stand, divided we fall.
07:54That's right.
07:55That's right.
07:56Gentlemen, now is the time to reorganize.
07:58Well, sounds okay.
08:01What about the G-men?
08:02You know, they ain't gonna like it.
08:03Don't worry.
08:04I've thought of that.
08:06They've got their hands full slapping the Japs and kicking the Boonsters around.
08:10Now, so while they're busy doing that, we're going to move in.
08:14Chopper's attack.
08:16I'm 100% with you, Doc.
08:18And I'm taking over.
08:20Right, boys?
08:21No, you don't, Torelli.
08:23People won't stand for that trigger stuff nowadays.
08:25How about me, Doc?
08:28No, William, I'm afraid not.
08:30I'm afraid you're just too stupid.
08:32Yeah, too stupid.
08:35Gee, I never thought of that.
08:37Suppose you picked out the top spot for yourself.
08:39No, I'm not important enough.
08:41My name wouldn't mean a thing.
08:43No, what we need is a man who is fearless.
08:46A man who can command the respect of everybody.
08:49A man of courage.
08:50There's only one man in the world of the reputation we need.
08:53A man whose name will bring the mob together again.
08:56A man whose name will make the businessman set up and pay off.
09:00And that man is Big Mike Morgan's son.
09:04I didn't know he was married.
09:05Son.
09:06How do we know this kid's any good?
09:08How do we know he'll go for the idea?
09:10That's what we got to find out.
09:14I'm sending you, Lefty.
09:15And you, Willie, to contact him immediately.
09:18I want you to look him over carefully.
09:20I'll get things rolling at this end if the kid's okay.
09:32You put cherries in these things?
09:33Oh, yes, Cousin Holly.
09:35Don't say anything to him.
09:36That's extra.
09:37Oh, don't let the price worry you.
09:38Nothing's too good for Tilly, eh, Tilly?
09:49That's a Lulu.
09:50Get a load of this.
09:54Hey, chump.
09:55Look at this.
10:03Look at this.
10:03Look at this.
10:04Look at this.
10:04Look at this.
10:04I don't get it.
10:05Oh, I should have known.
10:07Mama says for you to get home early tonight.
10:09You were late last night.
10:10Oh, I'm sorry, Cousin Ollie.
10:11I'll ask D.A. if I can get off earlier tonight.
10:17Say, D.A., will it be all right if I get off at six tonight?
10:20Say, well, now wait a minute, sir.
10:23Yeah, I reckon that'll be all right.
10:25Except that I want you to make a few collections on your way home.
10:28Yes, D.A.
10:29And yes, Sheriff Driscoll's been hankering for fresh pineapples for over two weeks.
10:34I just got a new crate in, so you might as well drop a couple of his offers on the
10:38way home.
10:39Yes, D.A., thank you.
10:40Hey, Eddie.
10:41Before I forget it, I want two packages of cigarettes, two chocolate bars, the large ones, and a package of
10:47jelly beans for Tilly.
10:50Yes, Cousin Ollie, but that'll be 85 cents.
10:53Well, charge it.
10:56Yes, Cousin Ollie.
10:57Just a minute, young fella.
10:59Since when did you open a charge account in this store?
11:02Now, now, D.A., let's not have any bickering.
11:05Charge it at the kids.
11:08It's all right, D.A.
11:28Pardon us.
11:29Do you know a character, Edward Morgan?
11:32Yeah, I have his cousin, Oliver Harris.
11:34What do you want to see him about?
11:35Well, it's a little matter of, uh, personal business.
11:39Personal business?
11:41He didn't inherit any money, did he?
11:43Not exactly.
11:44But if it's the right, Mr. Morgan, it ain't gonna be hay.
11:47Well, well, come right in.
11:49He should be here in a minute.
11:57Where's Mr. Morgan now?
11:59He's out making some collections.
12:00Dropping off a couple of pineapples at the sheriff's office.
12:03Pineapple?
12:03Collections?
12:08That's him.
12:09That's Eddie.
12:10Say, uh, would you mind ducking, buddy?
12:12This is kind of poisoning.
12:14Yeah, private-like.
12:15Trot.
12:16No, I live here.
12:17This is my heart.
12:20Well, if you put it that way.
12:22All right.
12:31Oh, I beg your pardon, the phone's ringing.
12:37Hello?
12:39Hello?
12:39Oh, hello, D.A.
12:40He knows the D.A.
12:42So young, too.
12:43A gunson.
12:43Sure.
12:44Simpkin paid up without a murmur.
12:47Jones squawked a little, but I threatened him.
12:49He'll pay off tomorrow.
12:52Who?
12:53The sheriff.
12:54You can forget about him.
12:55He won't bother you anymore.
12:57Yeah, I dropped a pineapple.
12:58A baby-faced killer.
13:00Oh, don't worry, D.A.
13:01I took care of that, too.
13:03Yeah, rub crayon a lot.
13:04And you can erase Johnson.
13:06It's like more than Miss Palmy's days that had the D.A. rubin' old people.
13:12His smile.
13:13It scares me.
13:14Oh, that's fine, D.A.
13:16Yeah, I'll make the rest of the collections tomorrow.
13:19Pleasant dreams, D.A.
13:23That was D.A.
13:24Sweetheart, you're a chip off the old block.
13:27Me?
13:28You mean my father?
13:29I never saw him.
13:31Did you know him?
13:31Yes, we know him.
13:33Well, Willie here was his right hand and me.
13:35I was his left.
13:36And that's the way it's gonna be from now on.
13:38We're gonna be your boys.
13:39You're gonna take over your father's rag...
13:41Uh, uh, business.
13:42Me?
13:43Well, I didn't even know he had...
13:45Sure, Eddie.
13:48We're taking over your father's business.
13:51Ollie's got a wonderful brain.
13:53Well, we better take him along.
13:54Great for the organization.
13:56Would you gentlemen excuse me and talk over the details with Ollie?
13:59I gotta practice on my typewriter.
14:01Now, don't you worry your little head.
14:02Forget that old Tommy.
14:03We're gonna get you a new 1943 model.
14:09No!
14:20Babyface Morgan's taking over.
14:25Babyface.
14:30Babyface Morgan.
14:36Babyface Morgan.
14:45Look at this!
14:51Hey, look at that!
14:57I don't see nothing.
14:59I don't see nothing.
15:03That's them.
15:04Didn't take no long to come up.
15:07Doc, meet the chief and his brain.
15:10How do you do?
15:12How do you, uh...
15:24Gentlemen, will you excuse us for a few minutes?
15:26We have some private business to discuss.
15:28Yeah.
15:30Well, uh...
15:31Hey, you guys can...
15:32Look out the window.
15:33The altitude's amazing from up here.
15:37I should have known when I saw that telegram.
15:40Babyface Morgan.
15:41Why, you blithering idiots.
15:42Do you realize what you've done?
15:43That kid's a yokel.
15:45Yeah, the guy that goes without a hat.
15:47But, boss, don't let that face fool you.
15:49The kid's plenty tough.
15:50We hurt him with our own ears.
15:51Why don't you relax?
15:53Can't you see the kid's nothing but a harmless, bewildered baby?
15:56He doesn't know what it's all about.
15:58He was talking about pineapples.
16:00Listen, brains.
16:00Pineapple can be fruit as well as bonds.
16:03That's right.
16:04Pineapple is fruit.
16:06Doc.
16:07Need I remind you, if Torelli hears of this,
16:10he'll be our next boss.
16:11And then may our souls rest in peace.
16:13Every thug in the country is joined up.
16:16I want to meet the chief.
16:18Well, take one look at him and you supply the answer.
16:21Not me.
16:22That's a $64 question.
16:31Oh, gee.
16:32They look like ants way down there.
16:34Those are the masses.
16:36They are.
16:37That's the first time I've ever seen them.
16:41Say, Doc.
16:42We could dig up a phony and pass him off as Big Mike's son.
16:46Nobody'd be any wiser.
16:48Nobody but the fellow we put in.
16:50And for the rest of our lives, he's got us on pot.
16:53No, that'll never do.
17:07Gentlemen, this is our lifesaver.
17:09This contains the corporation papers of the Acme Protection Company.
17:13And that gentleman isn't in more ways than one.
17:16I don't get it.
17:17You and your pineapples.
17:19Shut up.
17:19Mike Morgan bought this little company for the future.
17:22He figured if he ever got picked up, it made him look legitimate.
17:25So?
17:26Since nobody knows about it, we'll make use of it.
17:28Now, here's the idea.
17:29We build the baby face up as a mystery.
17:32Nobody, including the police, knows what he looks like.
17:35So?
17:35By using this company as a front and putting the kid in as president, we have the perfect
17:40fall guy.
17:41Excellent.
17:42The scapegoat.
17:43In case of a blow-off, the kid is left hauling the bag.
17:46Gee, Doc.
17:47You certainly got the brains.
17:49Just one more thing.
17:51The boys must never meet the chief, and the chief must never meet the boys.
17:55Understand?
18:16Gentlemen, I'm sorry to be so long in getting in touch with you, but you know how business
18:21is.
18:21Oh, sure.
18:23Well, anything wrong?
18:25Well, no, sir.
18:26Not exactly.
18:27But, well, it's no fun just sitting here.
18:31It's a wonderful office, but I like to keep busy.
18:34My boy, I know exactly how you feel, but you must be lenient with me.
18:38After all, this business has been neglected for a long time.
18:41It'll take a little while to build it up again.
18:43Can you tell me about how long, Mr. Rogers?
18:45Well, that all depends.
18:47As president of the Acme Protection Company, you ought to know that this company needs refinancing.
18:52Now, as chairman of the finance committee, I'm taking care of that.
18:55In the very near future, from time to time, money will accrue to the company, which I will
18:59accredit to your account.
19:01You will?
19:02How much?
19:03Well, that also depends.
19:06Business conditions, Wall Street reactions, a million details that are a little difficult
19:10to explain right now.
19:11You understand?
19:12Oh, sure, sure, Mr. Rogers.
19:14I'll explain everything to Mr. Morgan.
19:16Thank you, gentlemen.
19:17Now I'm afraid I must be leaving.
19:18Oh, one thing.
19:19I wish you'd refrain from writing any unnecessary checks.
19:22Your immediate needs, of course, that's understood.
19:24The bank will honor your signature.
19:26Oh, uh, by the way, how do you like your, uh, new sales manager, W.W.?
19:33Oh, Willie?
19:34Yeah, Willie.
19:35Let me the left, Jeff.
19:37Well, what do you got so far?
19:39Nothing.
19:39All right, well, let's stop in there.
19:45Dignity, Mabel.
19:45The president demands it.
19:47How are you, W.W.?
19:49That's you, Willie?
19:50Oh, yeah, that's right.
19:51That's me.
19:52Uh, W.W., why's Willie?
19:53Now, look, Willie.
19:54Keep your eye on those two acts in there.
19:56Raleigh and the mob are asking too many questions.
19:58They're waiting for me now.
19:58We can't take any chances.
20:00And, Mabel, you watch Willie.
20:03Call up the drugstore, Mabel.
20:04Order me a ham sandwich.
20:05It'll be yourself a secretary special.
20:07And for the bunny, some vitamin B1 with lettuce.
20:09Why don't you get rid of that monster?
20:12Oh, honey.
20:14This is going to be your future front coat.
20:17You're mine, Willie?
20:21The baby says pay off.
20:26I say pay off.
20:30Boys will be here every Monday to collect baby face insists.
20:33And the baby face won't take no.
20:35Come across.
20:36Come across.
20:37Come across.
20:38Pay off.
20:38Pay off.
20:39Pay off.
20:40No.
20:40No.
20:41Pay off.
20:42No.
20:43No.
20:43No.
20:43No.
20:46No.
20:50500 to cash?
20:52William, what is this for?
20:57Miss Virginia, that's for, uh, uh, uh, it's for protection.
21:01Protection?
21:03We don't need any protection.
21:04But you don't understand.
21:06We either pay or go out of business.
21:08What are you talking about?
21:10We've been threatened.
21:12This, uh, baby face Morgan.
21:15Gangsters.
21:16What about the police?
21:18Don't you see, Miss Virginia?
21:20By the time they round up the whole gang, we'll be out of business.
21:23They work fast.
21:25Putting the guilty men in jail won't get you back your business.
21:28There's only one thing to do, and that's to pay them.
21:31That's right, sister.
21:33Then you better hurry up.
21:34My palm's getting itchy.
21:35Come on.
21:36Hand it over.
21:38Get out of here, you little devil.
21:40I'm gonna call the police.
21:42Oh, threatening us, huh?
21:44All right, hold on to your dough temporarily.
21:47We'll be back with a big surprise.
21:5817, 19, 21, 2300 bucks.
22:03What's the take, Doc?
22:05With this, 67,000.
22:08And we're just getting started.
22:09By the way, how are the customers lining up?
22:11Like sheep.
22:12Except for a girl.
22:14She's the boss of the Clark Transportation Company.
22:16But don't worry.
22:17We're paying the place a social call.
22:20History repeats itself just like old times.
22:22Only the bourbon is better.
22:26There's something on my mind.
22:28I'd like to get it off.
22:30The dough.
22:31What's happened to it?
22:32Baby face is the bank.
22:34Yeah?
22:35I don't like the idea of a guy holding cash I don't even know.
22:39How do I know?
22:39There is a baby face.
22:40You'll meet him when he sees fit.
22:44Yeah?
22:49Well, it better be soon.
22:52You see him?
23:01Awfully hot for November, don't you think?
23:05A one, two, three, four.
23:07Hail to thee, hail to thee, Acme Protection Company.
23:14Mabel, hit that last note again.
23:17Oh, come on now.
23:18Let's take it all together.
23:18Come on.
23:19A one, two, three, four.
23:21Hail to thee, hail to thee, Acme Protection Company.
23:27H-C-M-E.
23:31Hail, hail.
23:33Nothing like a pep song to get the sales force into action.
23:35That's right, cousin Ollie.
23:37Excuse me, I got a matter of vitamin B1.
23:40Come, Mabel.
23:46I'm ashamed of myself.
23:48Mr. Rogers, our chairman, giving us all that money,
23:50and we're not doing anything to help.
23:52Well, that's big business for you, kid.
23:54The peasants do all the work, and we ride the golden chariot.
23:57Well, just the same, I'm ashamed of myself.
24:00All right, you want to go to work?
24:02Go out and sell insurance.
24:03I found these in the desk.
24:04All you have to do is have the people fill them in.
24:06Oh, but I've never sold insurance before.
24:09What do I do?
24:10What do I say?
24:11Personal magnetism is the answer, kid.
24:13Just turn on the old personality.
24:15Break down their sales resistance.
24:16Convince them they need insurance.
24:17That's all there is to it.
24:18Oh, I couldn't.
24:19You do it, cousin Ollie.
24:20Me?
24:20The vice president of a big concern like this?
24:23Now, how would it look if I were to go out peddling insurance?
24:25Yeah, but I'm the president.
24:27That's just it.
24:27Take our country.
24:28Who does all the work, the president or the vice president?
24:31The president?
24:33Well, sure.
24:34Nobody ever hears of the vice president.
24:35He just stays in the office.
24:38I guess you're right.
24:40But who do I see?
24:41Why, you go out and...
24:43You ask the silliest questions.
25:14Eddie, Eddie, get a load of this.
25:17Baby-faced Morgan declares war.
25:18It says here they smashed the whole front of the building.
25:20What do you think of that?
25:22I think she's pretty.
25:23Don't you get it?
25:25No.
25:25You wouldn't.
25:26Here are people that really need us.
25:27They may don't want her for us.
25:28But with all those accidents, they'll be clamoring for insurance.
25:32She sure is pretty.
25:34Yeah.
25:34You know what I'm going to do?
25:35I'm going to go down and see her myself.
25:37Oh, but that isn't fair, cousin Ollie.
25:39Remember what you said about the president?
25:41What do you want the vice president to do?
25:43To sit around here like a thing?
25:45That's up to the vice president.
25:48All right.
25:49All right.
25:49We'll both go.
25:57Get out.
25:58And stay out.
26:00What happened?
26:01She threw me out.
26:04She's too pretty for that.
26:05Oh, yeah?
26:06Well, all right, wise guy.
26:08You go in.
26:09Thanks, cousin Ollie.
26:11I will.
26:25Miss Clark?
26:26Who are you?
26:27I'm Morgan of the Acme Protection Company.
26:30Babyface Morgan?
26:31Babyface Morgan?
26:33The gangster?
26:34Oh.
26:35Get out of here, you.
26:37You babyface.
26:39You're making a mistake, Miss Clark.
26:41I'm going to call the police.
26:45Look, you're much too nervous.
26:47Can I dial him for you?
26:50Miss Clark, I'm here to protect you.
26:51You mustn't be frightened.
26:53My company will insure you against anything, even gangsters.
26:56Operator, what'd you get?
26:58Then you're not Babyface Morgan.
27:00Of course not.
27:01That's what I'm trying to tell you.
27:03I'm Edward Morgan.
27:04And I'm president of the Acme Protection Company, and cousin Ollie out there is vice president.
27:08You mean the one I just...
27:11Oh, I'm so sorry.
27:14Won't you invite him in?
27:15No, thanks.
27:16I'd like to take care of this myself.
27:22Well...
27:23You mean you're going to insure us in spite of everything that's happened?
27:26Well, of course.
27:27We're an insurance company, aren't we?
27:30Miss Virginia, we'd better sign up immediately.
27:32A $5,000 policy.
27:34No, a $10,000 policy.
27:37Yes, Miss Williams, but don't rush, Mr. Morgan.
27:39Won't you have a seat?
27:42Well, no thanks.
27:44I think I'd better make up the application policies right away.
27:52I knew it!
27:53I knew it!
27:56Too bad that Clark girl didn't wake up.
28:00This ought to do it.
28:02Should be along any minute now.
28:04You ready, Captain?
28:06There it is.
28:20She'll pay off now.
28:22Come on.
28:24That's too bad.
28:26Too bad.
28:27Miss Virginia, baby-faced Morgan just blew up one of our trucks.
28:31Was the driver hurt?
28:32Just shaken up a tripod.
28:34But don't worry, we're insured.
28:35I'll call Mr. Morgan.
28:38Oh, Mr. Morgan.
28:40You better let me talk to him.
28:52Acme.
28:54Acme Protection Company.
28:57What do you think it was?
28:59Who?
29:01Oh, him.
29:02Okay, just a moment.
29:07Hey, Gilla.
29:08I didn't know you was your mother.
29:12Oh, Virginia.
29:13I mean Miss Clark.
29:14This Mr. Morgan.
29:16Eddie.
29:17It's her.
29:19I have some bad news for you.
29:22Baby-faced Morgan just blew up one of our trucks.
29:24How much was the damage?
29:26Well, about $2,500.
29:29$2,500?
29:30That's wonderful.
29:32It's a lot of money, isn't it?
29:36You will?
29:37Sure I will.
29:38I'll be right over.
29:40Will you be there?
29:41Yes.
29:41I'll be here.
29:43Good-bye.
29:46Boy, am I lucky.
29:48Baby-faced Morgan just blew up one of her trucks.
29:50I can see her.
29:51Where's the checkbook?
29:52Just a minute.
29:54Remember what Mr. Rogers said.
29:55He may not like it.
29:58Oh, yeah.
29:59I better call him.
30:05Baby-faced Morgan's still a mystery.
30:07Police are labeled to find...
30:10Yeah?
30:12Oh, Morgan.
30:14How are you, my boy?
30:16Mr. Rogers, I've got a problem.
30:19There's a girl, and she needs money badly.
30:22A girl, eh?
30:25Well, my boy, you must never let a lady down, you know.
30:28Go ahead.
30:29Give her to her.
30:31Yeah.
30:32So long.
30:34Oh, the kid's got a girl, eh?
30:37Well, I hope she keeps them occupied.
30:52Gee, this spaghetti's good.
30:54You ought to taste it.
30:56It's wonderful.
30:57It's beautiful.
30:58If neither of you would have given me such quick service.
31:01Service?
31:03Oh, uh, service?
31:04No, no.
31:05I mean the check.
31:07The check?
31:08Well, we haven't finished eating that.
31:10Oh, no, Mr. Morgan.
31:11The check you brought me this morning.
31:13Oh, we'll think nothing of it.
31:15That's a family trait, protecting people.
31:18Would you like your children to be like that?
31:21My children?
31:23Oh, yes, of course.
31:26What do you think of Central City?
31:27You do like big families, don't you?
31:29Have you been through the subway?
31:31You know, if I have a son, I hope he's a blonde.
31:35You should see our library.
31:37And I'd like him to be a champion swimmer, too.
31:39I'd love to ride from the park at night.
31:41Don't you?
31:43Don't I what?
31:45The park.
31:47The park.
31:48You and I, the park.
31:52I'm telling you, Barney, I've never seen anything like it.
31:56Our truck was wrecked only last night.
31:58And at 10 o'clock this morning, I had the money.
32:03What do you mean I couldn't have had it?
32:05I just deposited the check.
32:08And it was good.
32:10Phillips Transportation, 10,000.
32:14I'll be right over.
32:18Hello?
32:19Shine on, Freight.
32:22Five thousand?

45:02There's only one thing to do.
45:03Grab the dough and beat it.
45:04What about the mob?
45:06South America's a big place, Deacon.
45:09And it's still cold, Virginia.
45:11They're the craziest janitor's life.

45:15I'd rather be alone.
45:19Not you, Virginia.
45:21I'll see you at six.
45:24Bye, baby.
45:25Goodbye, baby.
45:26You and I...
45:27I thought you was dead.
45:28Shut up.
45:29Watch the door outside.
45:31Where are those two men?
45:32Oh, you mean those two...
45:34Never mind.
45:35Where's the bank book?
45:36The bank book?
45:37Well, I'll take care of this, Edward.
45:39He doesn't know anything about financing.
45:40Remember when we called you on the phone?
45:42Never mind that.
45:42Where's the bank book?
45:43Well, that's what Cousin Ollie's trying to tell you.
45:46There isn't any bank book anymore.
45:47No bank...
45:48What have you done with the money?
45:50Selling insurance.
45:51What kind of insurance?
45:53Racketeer insurance.
45:54That was my idea.
45:56Hell.
45:57Yeah, and we'd be doing all right, too,
45:58if it weren't for all those claims.
46:00Claims?
46:00What claims?
46:01Well, it's very simple, Mr. Rogers.
46:03We've been insuring trucks.
46:05You've been using the money that I put in your account
46:07to insure truck owners?
46:09Yeah, and if it weren't for that baby face,
46:11we'd have made a fortune.
46:12Why, you idiot, you've been robbing yourself.
46:15What do you mean, Mr. Rogers?
46:17Your baby face.
46:24Well, hey, Doc.
46:25He says you and the baby face pulled a double cross.
46:27He's called a meeting for the mob
46:28at the Southside Social Club.
46:30Uh-oh, that's bad.
46:31You got me into this.
46:32You forced me.
46:33I want to go home.
46:34We'll both go.
46:35Sit down.
46:35You haven't got a chance.
46:36They'll be watching us like hawks.
46:39They won't dare.
46:40I'll call the police.
46:41Yeah, and go to jail for 20 years.
46:43Don't forget, Mr. Morgan, your baby face.
46:46Don't mention it.
46:47I've got it.
46:48It's our only chance.
46:49We've got to be Torelli to the punch.
46:51We've got to go to the boys before they come for us.
46:53I don't get you, Doc.
46:54Why, it's simple enough.
46:55I've been handling mugs all my life.
46:56I know the way they think.
46:58Never give them a chance to figure things out.
47:01Baby face...
47:02Uh, uh, Eddie?
47:03Eddie, you've got to face the mob this afternoon.
47:05Not me.
47:06I'm no gangster.
47:07I'm going home.
47:08Over my dead body.
47:09Now you listen to me, you little...
47:10Oh, I'm sorry, son.
47:12I shouldn't have lost my temper, but I can't help it.
47:15I'm doing this for you, son.
47:16For you and your girl.
47:18On you depends the wives and children of the truck owners.
47:22The mob wants their money back.
47:23Lives don't count.
47:24If they don't collect, you'll be responsible.
47:27You've got to make a speech, son.
47:29You've got to come through.
47:33Yes, you're right, Mr. Rogers.
47:35It does depend on me.
47:39When do we start?
47:40Good boy!
47:42Now!
47:43Oh, no, no.
47:44They're not gentlemen.
47:45They're mugs.
47:47Mugs.
47:48Dear mugs.
47:49No, mugs, you mugs.
47:51You mugs.
47:53You mugs.
47:54You mugs.
47:56Guns.
47:56Rods.
47:57Rods.
47:58Out of the corner of your mouth.
48:00Take it on the lambs.
48:01Rods.
48:02Mugs.
48:03Come on, come on.
48:04Snap out of it.
48:04My life's at stake, too.
48:06Keep that going, Lucy.
48:07On the spot.
48:09On the spot.
48:10Louder!
48:10Let go of me, you mugs!
48:18Go ahead.
48:19Tell them.
48:20You guys have just been treated to the sweetest double cross in the history of any mob.
48:25Where's the cash?
48:26And what have you been doing about it?
48:27Nothing.
48:29But we don't like it.
48:33And baby face is no bargain.
48:35And Doc?
48:37Well, I'll tell you what we're going to do.
48:40Nothing.
48:41The baby face.
48:42It's the baby face.
48:46All right, you.
48:47Stay out of it.
48:49Hiya, mugs.
48:51I don't want any interruptions, see?
48:54I don't want anyone opening their kisser until I get through, see?
48:58I understand there are a few guys around here who don't like the way I'm running this outfit.
49:02Arguments rub me the wrong way.
49:05If there's anybody here who's got any objection to the way I'm running things, I want him to get up
49:09and spill his gab.
49:10I...
49:11I got...
49:12I got something I want to say.
49:14You have?
49:16That's all I wanted to hear.
49:23All right, you two guys.
49:25Taste him in cement and toss him in the river.
49:39All right.
49:39Break it up.
49:41Let's get down to cases.
49:42I'm going to give you a lowdown on what plays.
49:46That dough we just collected.
49:47It's nothing.
49:48It's chicken feet.
49:49I got it invested in the sweetest little racket in the world.
49:52You guys are going to get yourself plenty of defense bonds.
49:57There's only one thing I can tell you now.
50:00Keep your kissers shut.
50:01Follow my orders and leave the rest to me.
50:04I'll do the rest.
50:07I'll be seeing you, boys.
50:08Okay, Chief.
50:09Let's go.
50:15It's a phony.
50:25What a performance that did give.
50:27Yeah, that was terrific.
50:28I'm telling you that baby face was so realistic, I thought he shot you.
50:33Yeah, even rigor mortis set in.
50:36Are they in our gang?
50:37Who?
50:37Rig and Morty.
50:38That stiff's alive.
50:39You better get Torelli in a hurry.
50:42Torelli is burning and we've got to blow.
50:45Now listen, son.
50:46You better grab your pal Ollie and take it on the land.
50:48You're hot.
50:49Torelli is gunning for you, too.
50:51But I have a date with Virginia.
50:53Okay, it's your life.
50:54You know what to do with it.
50:55I've got to tell her the truth.
50:57Come on, Deacon.
50:57Grab your bags and meet me downstairs.
50:58The train leaves in 30 minutes.
51:00Okay.
51:02And then I'll...
51:03Look, don't bother me.
51:05Baby face.
51:08Don't.
51:09Don't.
51:10Don't.
51:11Honest.
51:12I don't know.
51:15Tire.
51:16Don't.
51:17Don't.
51:18You're going to tell me where Morgan is.
51:21Honest.
51:22I don't know.
51:22Honest.
51:23I don't.
51:26Come on, talk.
51:28All right.
51:29All right.
51:30He's going to meet Virginia.
51:34Virginia?
51:34Who's Virginia?
51:35Virginia Clark.
51:38Clark.
51:40Clark trucking?
51:42Yes, sir.
51:45Get over there.
51:45Pick that lug up.
51:46Bring him back to the pool.
51:47I'll meet you there later.
51:48Send the boys to the Metropole.
51:49Get Doc and the Deacon.
51:52All right.
51:52Search this dump.
51:54The dough's got to be hit somewhere.
51:55Rifle-filed in a safe.
51:57I'll take care of the dinner, Ralph.
52:11Gosh, what gigantic mice.
52:21Look at that.
52:26How'd he get in there?
52:32Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.
52:34Mabel.
52:35There goes your sable.
52:40All right, sister.
52:41What's more?
52:41I don't know.
52:43You had a date with him, didn't you?
52:44Yes.
52:44But he's gone.
52:46All right, Marcy.
52:46Take her to the club.
52:47Trilly will make her seen.
52:55Come on, get in there, sister.
52:57We're in the pool room.
53:09Wait here, please.
53:14Mr. Williams.
53:15What happened?
53:17Who did it?
53:17Are you all right?
53:23Tell me, what happened?
53:25Mr. Morgan.
53:25Mr. Morgan.
53:26They got Virginia.
53:27Who?
53:29Babyface Morgan.
53:30What?
53:31They took her away.
53:32Well, where?
53:33Where?
53:33I don't know.
53:34They said something about a club.
53:36Club?
53:44Give me the police station.
53:49Send an ambulance right away to the Clark Transportation Company.
53:54And if you want Babyface Morgan, you'll find him at the Southside Social Club.
54:04Southside Social Club.
54:05Hurry.
54:10Where's the babyface?
54:11I don't know any babyface.
54:13And you better let me out of here.
54:15I'm going to call the police.
54:17Shut up or I'll...
54:20I don't want to waste much more time.
54:23Once more, where's the babyface?
54:25I told you I don't know any babyface.
54:26I've never seen it.
54:32You slapped Virginia.
54:34Oh.
54:37The babyface.
54:40Welcome, stranger.
54:43Careful, kid.
54:44Your babyface.
54:46You slapped Virginia.
54:48You lied to me.
54:53What's on your mind?
54:56You slapped Virginia.
55:00How you got it?
55:03This is Willie.
55:05Come.
55:05They're beating him.
55:07Here.
55:07Hey.
55:11What?
55:12Hi.
55:19I have probably got one answer.
55:20Go.
55:22A call.
55:24Hey!
55:29This is Willie.
55:31hoodie.
55:56All right, bring it up.
55:58We're under arrest.
56:02Where's the baby face?
56:03That's the baby face.
56:09Virginia.
56:17What about that federal payroll job?
56:19Who talked about getting a rebel?
56:20What about that snatch on the west side?
56:22I told you, I don't know anything about it.
56:24Of course not, baby face.
56:26I'm not baby face.
56:28Sure you're not.
56:29Listen, kid, how'd you like a drink of water?
56:31Nice, cool water.
56:33No, thanks.
56:33I'm not thirsty.
56:34Might be a cigarette.
56:36I don't use them.
56:37Listen, baby face.
56:38You can't get away with this.
56:39You're facing a tough rap.
56:41We got enough on you to hang you.
56:43Now, if you come clean, of course we'll go easy on you.
56:46Yeah, we'll speak to the DA for you.
56:49I told you I'd know nothing.
56:52I'm not baby face.
56:53I'm Edward Morgan.
56:55Where's Virginia?
56:57Virginia?
56:58You mean your girlfriend?
57:00Yeah, she must be worried about me.
57:02I'd like to see her.
57:04Worried about you?
57:05She left last night.
57:08Where?
57:08Well, your guess is as good as mine.
57:11The last time I saw her, she was getting on a train with another fella.
57:14On a train?
57:16Was it Cousin Ollie?
57:17Who knows?
57:18From where we stood, it looked like love.
57:25All right.
57:26I'll talk.
57:28What do you want me to say?
57:30Who killed McGee?
57:31I did.
57:31I killed a man in St. Louis and one in Detroit.
57:34Sit down.
57:35And I robbed a bank in Boston.
57:37And the one you're talking about, too.
57:39And I blew up all those trucks.
57:44Okay, fellas, here's your headline.
57:46Baby face cracks.
57:47Two.
57:50What happened then?
57:51Within 24 hours, all the truckers had received the money for their damages.
57:55So, you see, the door went round and round and the kid was the jockey.
57:59Well, that draws a different light on the situation.
58:02He left Virginia.
58:03Eddie.
58:04Wait a minute, lady.
58:04This man is dangerous.
58:05I thought you and Cousin Ollie...
58:08You lied to me.
58:09Take the handcuffs off him.
58:10My cat, this is baby face.
58:12There is no baby face.
58:13Huh?
58:14The loud bean.
58:15Eddie.
58:16I want to go home.
58:18Oliver.
58:18Yes, Edward.
58:19Go back to the hotel and pack my bags.
58:22Are we going home?
58:23No.
58:24We're going to Niagara Falls.
58:26No, on our honeymoon.
58:27Good luck, kid.
58:28Drop me a card.
58:29We sure will, Mr. Rogers.
58:31Where to?
58:32Who?
58:32I'll be at the seashore.
58:33Alcatraz.
58:35Maybe we ought to go there, too.
58:37Maybe.
59:03Maybe we can see the holidays, too.
59:03I'll be there.
59:03I'll be there.
59:03We'll be there.
59:03Bye.
59:03Bye.
59:04Bye.
59:06Bye.
59:13Bye.
59:15Bye.
59:15You
