In un night club di Manhattan, una sera, fa il suo ingresso un certo Charles Engle. L'uomo è disperato: ha deciso di uccidersi perché deve restituire una somma di denaro che ha sottratto al suo datore di lavoro per darla alla sua ex moglie di cui è ancora innamorato. Viene scambiato per un miliardario sprovveduto e invitato a un tavolo da gioco da un poco di buono di nome Bill O'Brien. Nel locale incontra Gene Gibbons, uno scrittore alcolizzato, che decide di aiutarlo a vincere al gioco coinvolgendo Nina, una ballerina in cerca di lavoro conosciuta quella sera stessa da O'Brien.

00:00:00Thank you all
00:00:48Thank you all
00:01:01What a laugh, but I don't even have an umbrella.
00:01:08Seven dollars, the last of the dead dogs
00:01:11Of course I need to find a solution.
00:01:13Look at that water, I know how to make them roll
00:01:17This is what this city is, a dice game
00:01:20Come down, luck
00:01:22Rain on my head
00:01:26You won't find luck by handing out a tin cup
00:01:29Yet my fortune must await me somewhere
00:01:33You won't find luck by handing out a tin cup
00:02:26Did you hear?
00:02:29Of course I knew
00:02:30$3,000 stolen from my friend
00:02:33An old friend
00:02:35The man I lifted out of poverty when he couldn't find work
00:02:39What do you intend to do?
00:02:41What do you intend to do?
00:02:42Go ahead, call the police
00:02:44Do you remember that time you came to tell me
00:02:47Oh why, she loves me
00:02:49That beautiful woman loves me
00:02:51And we'll get married soon
00:02:54Shut up
00:02:54Shut up
00:02:56Don't talk to me about this
00:02:57Did you ever invite me to your house after you married her?
00:03:02No
00:03:02Not once
00:03:04You were ashamed of me in front of her
00:03:07I wasn't up to his level.
00:03:09And that's precisely where the beauty lies.
00:03:13You weren't even up to his level.
00:03:15But the money for the works was at his level.
00:03:18The money this fat guy knew he was making by working day and night
00:03:22She didn't mind
00:03:23She didn't even mind stealing it.
00:03:25She didn't steal it.
00:03:27I stole it
00:03:30Stupid
00:03:30You still love her
00:03:31Of course, you still love her
00:03:33You gave that money to Mr. Morgan, right?
00:03:36You wanted to give it to her
00:03:37And she gave it to the man she loves
00:03:39Here's the news
00:03:42We announce the grand opening of the Dan Morgan Beauty Institute on March 30th.
00:03:46You will see her again this evening
00:03:48Free this time
00:03:50And it won't cost me anything either.
00:03:52I order you to tell her that Hopper wants his $3,000 back immediately.
00:03:56And also tell her that if she doesn't, Hopper will call the police tomorrow morning.
00:03:59And he will send his partner and his partner's wife to prison.
00:04:02Both
00:04:02I have the right to it.
00:04:03And I intend to make use of it.
00:04:05That's all
00:04:12Tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock sharp I will be waiting in my office
00:04:16You will bring me the stolen money.
00:04:18And tell her Hopper isn't crying at her feet
00:04:20But he's fine and has a policeman at his side
00:04:23Waiting to arrest her and you together
00:04:29At 6 o'clock sharp in my office
00:04:313000 dollars
00:04:37You will bring me the stolen money.
00:05:05Where are you going, sir?
00:05:07In the city, in the city
00:05:313 dollars
00:05:375 dollars
00:05:38You don't have any change, sir.
00:05:40It doesn't matter, keep the change
00:05:48You will bring me the stolen money.
00:05:50It doesn't matter, keep the change
00:05:54You will bring me the stolen money.
00:06:11There he is
00:06:27Look at that, sir.
00:06:29The paletotto.
00:06:38Excuse me.
00:06:43Cigarettes?
00:06:4820 dollars, excuse me, I'll get change.
00:06:51It doesn't matter, keep the change.
00:06:56Hey, thanks.
00:06:58Do you have a table booked?
00:07:01No.
00:07:03Emil?
00:07:06A good table for the gentleman.
00:07:08Please, have a seat here.
00:07:10Please.
00:07:14Have fun, ladies.
00:07:16Doesn't that seem pretty funny to you?
00:07:19$20 and he didn't even look at me.
00:07:21That curious guy who I thought was a tramp.
00:07:24This proves that appearances cannot be trusted in this city.
00:07:28Do you know him, Vincenzo?
00:07:30No, I've never seen it before.
00:07:32But from the way he looks, you can tell he's a big shot.
00:07:45Hello, Sunset Hotel.
00:07:471700, please.
00:07:48Bill O'Brien speaks.
00:07:58Hello, Doge?
00:07:59Bill O'Brien.
00:08:01Listen, I'm at the Pigeon Club looking for clients and I saw one who might be
00:08:06very interesting.
00:08:09Yes, he's a provincial guy who moved here a little while ago.
00:08:11He throws money away like chicken feed.
00:08:14No, I've never seen him before, he's a stranger.
00:08:19Hm?
00:08:20Ah, I wouldn't deceive a friend like you, Doge.
00:08:23I repeat, it's a special occasion.
00:08:25I'd love to take him to one of those little get-togethers.
00:08:29Same percentage as last time.
00:08:32It's Bill O'Brien, what do you think?
00:08:34Nice guy, boss.
00:08:35He has a room on this floor.
00:08:36He has already worked at Saint-Martin and has many resources.
00:08:41All right, boss, midnight at Sunset.
00:08:44I understand.
00:09:11Excuse me, are you Mr. White?
00:09:13No.
00:09:15This is weird, I could have sworn it was Mr. White.
00:09:21Do you mind if I sit here?
00:09:23No.
00:09:25I hope I'm not bothering you.
00:09:27There is a beautiful show, very artistic.
00:09:31But I don't want to deceive her because...
00:09:34I'll be frank with you, I know you're not Mr. White.
00:09:36There is no Mr. White at all, he is a man I invented.
00:09:40I'm actually looking for Mr. Hugo, he's the one who organizes this show and books the artists.
00:09:45I knew Mr. Hugo a while ago, I worked in one of his groups.
00:09:48There's no point in waiting for him in the other place, he'll never end up out there anyway.
00:09:51And when you can walk around here alone, do you know what happens if you're not accompanied?
00:09:54And they are quick to offend a woman.
00:09:55My name is Nina Barona, I'm Russian, you know.
00:09:57But now Latin is in fashion.
00:09:59Everything is Latin.
00:10:01Oh, look who's here, how he's doing.
00:10:03I'm glad to see her.
00:10:05Excuse me, right?
00:10:07Don't tell me you don't remember me, Nina.
00:10:09I'm sure I've never seen or met her.
00:10:11Isn't that Nina Barona?
00:10:13Russian, right?
00:10:15I never forget a woman's face as beautiful as it is.
00:10:17Vilo Braini, I'm calling in case you don't remember.
00:10:21Oh, sorry to butt in like this, but I've only just arrived in town.
00:10:24and I have nothing to do but throw money away.
00:10:26Having fun and making others have fun is my motto.
00:10:29What do you mean?
00:10:30Yes, sir.
00:10:31I count.
00:10:34Oh, dear, I can't see anything anymore.
00:10:36Tell him to sit down.
00:10:37Excuse me, please sit down.
00:10:39Just a moment and then I'll leave you to your visions.
00:10:45It's very sad.
00:10:48I don't think Venus was epileptic.
00:10:53I leave you with your periscopes without envy.
00:11:08That's Gibbons, the famous comedian.
00:11:11Oh, really?
00:11:11Do you know him?
00:11:13Safe.
00:11:14For many years.
00:11:15He's a nice guy, you know?
00:11:16It's a shame that his latest work...
00:11:18Yes, I read something.
00:11:20It's worth little, right?
00:11:22Three years ago Gibbons was a glory of the theatre, today it is a ruin.
00:11:26Well, that's New York.
00:11:28You put yourself up high and then you bury yourself.
00:11:31Well, let's change the subject.
00:11:33How long will he stay in the city?
00:11:36Not long.
00:11:38Too bad, so try to have as much fun as possible.
00:11:48Jean, dear, how happy I am to see...
00:11:51Oh, my beauty!
00:11:54I'm sorry I haven't seen your work.
00:11:57They say it's enchanting.
00:11:59Listen, come visit me sometime, Jean.
00:12:02I'm having a reception on Saturday...
00:12:04Put down the scissors, Odalila.
00:12:06My hair has already been cut.
00:12:09This elegant young man would be my successor.
00:12:13Jean, you're drunk.
00:12:15Honey, I drank three bottles...
00:12:18...but I've shed a hundred barrels of tears.
00:12:25Congratulations.
00:12:30But what comes to mind?
00:12:33Give me a dwarf's coat.
00:12:38Management should instead distribute straitjackets.
00:12:42It would be better.
00:12:44Mr. Gibbons, we have a new boy, excuse me a moment.
00:12:47Mr. Gibbons's overcoat.
00:12:49He has the one who will have to open it.
00:12:54Let's see what they tell me.
00:13:00With this letter I inform the police...
00:13:04...that I killed myself because I was tired of living.
00:13:10Mr. Gibbons.
00:13:13Who does this coat belong to?
00:13:16You have a client I don't know, sir.
00:13:18A stranger came here a little while ago.
00:13:21A stranger fell from the sky.
00:13:26Where will it have taken place?
00:13:29You can find everything you want in New York.
00:13:33If you know where to look for it.
00:13:35Novels, adventures.
00:13:36Yes, I understand that this can be found in your country too...
00:13:39...but here it's grander and life moves faster.
00:13:41Seven million people flailing around on a rocket.
00:13:43This is New York.
00:13:45How about we go for a walk, huh?
00:13:47Thank you.
00:13:48Thank you very much, but I have another important appointment.
00:13:52Oh, come on, come on.
00:13:53Your appointment can wait.
00:13:54Let's go have some fun first, shall we?
00:13:55What do you think?
00:13:56Mr. Engel, if I'm not mistaken.
00:13:59Yes.
00:14:01How is she?
00:14:02My name is Gene Gibbons.
00:14:04The famous playwright.
00:14:07Nice to see you, are you coming with us?
00:14:09Pleasure.
00:14:11You must not misinterpret the famous adjective that I attribute to myself, Mr. Engel.
00:14:15It refers to my cruel misdeeds.
00:14:19I would like to introduce her as Nina Barona from Balletto Rosso.
00:14:22Nina Barona is enchanting.
00:14:25And you, excuse me, who are you?
00:14:27Oh, no kidding, Gene, I'm Bill O'Brien.
00:14:29Oh, yes, yes, of course.
00:14:31And who knows you?
00:14:34Listen, dear, would you do me the favor of leaving?
00:14:36You see, I now need to discuss an important personal matter with Mr. Engel.
00:14:43If it's an important personal matter, I'll leave right away.
00:14:46Come with me, Nina, the solitude will do us good too.
00:14:49Come on.
00:14:55Who told you my name?
00:14:58This letter.
00:14:59Oh, well, well, we'll come to the health of the new candidate for a better world.
00:15:04Who knows if there will be hearts in the afterlife.
00:15:08As I understand from your communication, Mr. Engel, you have decided to self-destruct.
00:15:13May I shake your hand? I'm thrilled with your idea.
00:15:16I speak to you as someone who has already destroyed himself a number of times.
00:15:20For a long time now, Mr. Engel, I have been nothing but a corpse.
00:15:24We're all dead in here.
00:15:27This place is a very special musical cemetery of the city.
00:15:31They reform hell, walking around with a dead heart and paper currency for a soul.
00:15:39So, do you want to drink with me?
00:15:40In this place it is customary for the dead to drink.
00:15:44That's a lot.
00:15:48Then I present to you my credentials as a fellow cadaver.
00:15:53I am in the process of divorcing my wife who loves me dearly.
00:15:57And I love her too, in my own way.
00:15:59But there was the usual female.
00:16:02I wrote three horrible comedies one after the other
00:16:05and next year I'll write a fourth one.
00:16:08I have no home, no hope, no curiosity about anything.
00:16:14Green palelito.
00:16:16I destroyed myself, but I'm famous.
00:16:20I'm no longer human, Mr. Ennio.
00:16:23But a nice epitaph written on a garbage can.
00:16:28And now, sir, what is your story?
00:16:33I feel sympathy for her, because she seems so naive.
00:16:37No, I didn't mean naive, but...
00:16:39I know, she means a little silly.
00:16:40No, not silly, kind-hearted.
00:16:43Oh yes, I am with a good heart.
00:16:45Tell me, where are you from?
00:16:46From Brooklyn.
00:16:47And where are you from?
00:16:48I?
00:16:49I fell off a policeman's whistle in Times Square.
00:16:52Are you having fun?
00:16:53Oh yes, I like dancing with such a kind and polite young man.
00:16:58Let's go.
00:17:01Yes, it's magnificent here.
00:17:03He sits down.
00:17:06Do you think I'm a big shot?
00:17:08You don't have to believe it.
00:17:10But if I wanted I could tell him that I have three paulis full of mink furs,
00:17:13then give her an appointment for tomorrow without coming, thus shattering another dream of hers.
00:17:17Even that is not necessary.
00:17:19Well, I don't want to keep it hanging any longer, Miss Barona.
00:17:22I am not a millionaire.
00:17:24Doesn't he have fur coats?
00:17:26No, nothing.
00:17:27And not even a cent.
00:17:30Oh, and that's a great pity for me, Mr. O'Brien.
00:17:34Imagine mine.
00:17:37Millions everywhere I can't get a coffee.
00:17:43Do you want to earn some money?
00:17:46Depends.
00:17:48Maybe I'm a little silly, but I want to tell her everything.
00:17:53Ah, an oil well.
00:17:54No, no, I'm not joking.
00:17:55The wheel of fortune is turning in my favor tonight and I need a partner.
00:18:05Don't sit down.
00:18:07Don't sit down.
00:18:12Have you ever heard of Dochen Wright?
00:18:15The gangster?
00:18:17And why gangsters?
00:18:19Player.
00:18:20Don't you ever read anything?
00:18:22It has the greatest poker game in town.
00:18:25The one who ruined a guy's phone with four to nine.
00:18:28It was in the newspaper.
00:18:30So what?
00:18:32I took him there and owed him a thousand dollars of my share.
00:18:35Yes, but don't get too excited.
00:18:36It was six months ago and I only have this dress left on me.
00:18:40It suits her very well.
00:18:41You're not kidding, my dear.
00:18:42This is serious.
00:18:45I'm thinking of bringing Engel to play there too.
00:18:50Why is he full of money?
00:18:53Really?
00:18:54Rich and poor.
00:18:55I know the guy.
00:18:59Excuse me.
00:19:01Let's go.
00:19:09What does it matter to him to lose a little money?
00:19:11He doesn't see how he's wasting it uselessly.
00:19:13You will be pleased to meet some very important people.
00:19:17Is she in?
00:19:18I don't see how I could be of any help to you in this matter.
00:19:21She should just be acting in a comedy.
00:19:23When you're ready to get soft, tell him you live at the Sunset Hotel.
00:19:27Understood?
00:19:27So we'll all go there and get down.
00:19:30I'll take care of the rest.
00:19:31Just be nice and that's it.
00:19:34He wants me as an accomplice.
00:19:37Are you scared?
00:19:39Who?
00:19:40I?
00:19:41A tragic story, brother.
00:19:44A bit confusing and very poorly constructed.
00:19:47But I speak as someone who won the Palitzer Prize for drama eight years ago.
00:19:52I finish my drink while I reexamine this sad story.
00:19:57I really don't approve of your suicide, Mr. Engel.
00:20:02I don't think anyone in the world has the right to kill themselves for just $3,000.
00:20:07Everyone would believe it.
00:20:09My dear, it would be like killing yourself over pine nuts.
00:20:13Of course, she would be much, much better off dead and so would I.
00:20:19Everyone would be better off out of this world.
00:20:23It's a rancid world.
00:20:27Dances, crimes.
00:20:29If I were a philosopher, I would compare man to an idiot.
00:20:33With a loaded rifle in one hand and a clarinet in the other.
00:20:38I wrote about this.
00:20:40But the comedy flopped.
00:20:45I repeat that I do not approve of your suicide, Mr. Engel.
00:20:50So if you want to have a little faith in a comedian who was once second to none,
00:20:56Now I will write its second act.
00:20:59Our most pressing problem is money.
00:21:053,000 dollars.
00:21:09A nothing that destroys.
00:21:18My dear, stop worrying.
00:21:24I found a lifeline for her.
00:21:26I'm referring to the lady in front with the rounded shapes.
00:21:31That creature loved me madly until three months ago.
00:21:36As you can see from the numerous jewels hanging on its battlefront.
00:21:41My.
00:21:42All mine.
00:21:44A tribute to eternal love.
00:21:49Look at that magnificent coin hanging in the left sector.
00:21:54We'll take that one.
00:21:56With a sideways movement.
00:21:59Wait for me here.
00:22:02I'll be back soon my dear with a trifle called life.
00:22:12That's Mr. Hugo sitting over there.
00:22:16Yes.
00:22:17Listen, would you mind introducing me to him?
00:22:19There is no time now.
00:22:20Anyway, sorry.
00:22:25Mister Hugo, I don't know if you remember me.
00:22:29Nina Baruna at the Monkey Club.
00:22:33And I did a number.
00:22:34The dance of the slave in chains.
00:22:37Oh, but I dance better now.
00:22:39I've made a lot of progress.
00:22:40And I know you're busy with the new show, but a rehearsal would only take up a few minutes.
00:22:45I still have my costume and accessories.
00:22:47I mean slave chains.
00:22:48What are you doing this evening?
00:22:52But nothing.
00:22:54Come with me little one, we'll go somewhere and talk.
00:22:57Ah, I finally find it.
00:22:59I looked everywhere for it.
00:23:00Her husband has also been looking for her for a while.
00:23:02What?
00:23:02Yes, and he breaks dishes.
00:23:04You better come and calm him down before he breaks them all.
00:23:07One moment, please.
00:23:08He's lying.
00:23:08It takes a lot of nerve to waste so much of my time.
00:23:12Goodbye, Mister Hugo.
00:23:16This is the most evil trick anyone has ever pulled on me.
00:23:19I had almost succeeded already.
00:23:21You can't be anything other than a vulgar scoundrel.
00:23:23Do you think?
00:23:24He would have given me work.
00:23:25Work.
00:23:26Maybe, but it wasn't worth it.
00:23:28Do you think so?
00:23:29Look, Mr. Wise, I don't need anyone to mind my business.
00:23:32It is not distinguished from attracting attention.
00:23:34I've always run my life my way, you understand?
00:23:36And I don't need any scammers' help.
00:23:39Go away, I've had enough of you.
00:23:42Please go.
00:23:43Leave me alone.
00:23:45Do you want to remain an owl morsel?
00:23:47I offer her my life.
00:23:57Will you believe me when I tell you that those were the best weeks of my life?
00:24:02I hope you haven't forgotten them either, darling.
00:24:06The cute farmhouse in Maine.
00:24:10Winter and snow.
00:24:12And the little stove that burned in the room.
00:24:15You remember it.
00:24:17And the light on the wall that night.
00:24:19The only light for us turned on in the world.
00:24:23Remember the howl of the wind.
00:24:26And outside the snow galloped like a white horse.
00:24:30And the little stove burned in the darkness.
00:24:34I have his dreamy eyes.
00:24:37Please, Gin, you're drunk.
00:24:38I don't want to talk about this.
00:24:39Where is the little stove from that distant time?
00:24:43And the white horse?
00:24:45Gone, eh.
00:24:47Ashes of our life.
00:24:50What are you doing?
00:24:51I take up a humble little memory of an immense love.
00:24:55Only one.
00:24:56For a good cause.
00:24:58You understand?
00:24:59Silvia, do you want me to intervene?
00:25:03Who wants to intervene?
00:25:06Hey, sir.
00:25:08Control your impulses, son.
00:25:11Silvia,
00:25:12give it to this boy I know how to hit hard.
00:25:16It doesn't matter, Steve.
00:25:18Let him say.
00:25:19Thank you so much, my divine one.
00:25:24And he offered it to him?
00:25:25And he took up the gift for a cause.
00:25:30Thank you.
00:25:34Hello, Mr. Engel.
00:25:36She can send the hearse away.
00:25:39Manna.
00:25:41This little jewel was bought by Cartier and paid $12,000.
00:25:45With a guarantee like that, anyone will give her the $3,000 she needs.
00:25:51Now he will be able to live and suffer.
00:25:56It's hard to understand.
00:25:58An unseen man suddenly arrives and performs such a generous act.
00:26:03I didn't believe things like this could happen.
00:26:07Let's drink, Mr. Engel.
00:26:08Let us drink to his tomorrow.
00:26:10See you tomorrow.
00:26:14Tomorrow.
00:26:14New sleepers, Lazarus?
00:26:16I don't know what to do.
00:26:18She will go to Mr. Hopper tomorrow morning.
00:26:21He'll give that soggy, earthy nemesis his $3,000 back.
00:26:26And then...
00:26:27...he will spit in their eye.
00:26:29Applause.
00:26:30But that's not the point.
00:26:32So let me tell you, sir, the secret of life.
00:26:37A pain from yesterday will be a joke tomorrow.
00:26:42And don't doubt that you, like the others, will end up laughing if you manage not to cut your neck first.
00:26:50This is the message conveyed by my last three failures.
00:26:53You are a wonderful man, Mr. Gibbons.
00:26:57I would like to explain to you what I feel.
00:27:00It's like when you meet someone on a dark street and that someone smiles at you.
00:27:04For a moment you are no longer afraid, for a moment you feel good.
00:27:09Now I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:27:10Yes, I'll tell him.
00:27:12I'll call my wife.
00:27:14I'll stay here until I get back to your table.
00:27:16Then she will come forward.
00:27:19Really?
00:27:20I'll step forward.
00:27:22Exact.
00:27:23How should I behave to please him?
00:27:26Like last time.
00:27:27The last time?
00:27:28Which last time?
00:27:30The last time I managed to lure a man.
00:27:33I don't understand why I waste my time letting myself be insulted like this.
00:27:36Oh, come on, stop it.
00:27:37We're partners, don't give me any trouble.
00:27:39I know people like her well.
00:27:41Oh, seriously?
00:27:43Look, Mr. O'Brien, if you don't talk to me like a gentleman, I...
00:27:46Oh, come on, come on, enough of this nonsense.
00:27:48When you become a member you have to become one with your eyes open.
00:27:51I told him.
00:27:52I only have a plan to earn money to be rich.
00:27:54And I don't care how I get him.
00:27:56As for you, my dear, I know what it is.
00:27:59The usual stupid girl with a mania for art and luxury is a wagon of desires.
00:28:04I'm a little better than you think, Mr. O'Brien.
00:28:07It's not difficult.
00:28:09I don't mean to insult her, I'm analyzing her, you understand?
00:28:12His biggest problem is his lack of willpower.
00:28:15She always lets others take advantage of her.
00:28:18It is the same intention as his.
00:28:20He would like me to become a gangster's accomplice so he can watch me shoot the cops.
00:28:25It's funny.
00:28:26Really?
00:28:28I wanted to show her that she can do better than looking for the moon in the well while walking with fools.
00:28:32I used to look like a whistle and bow like a Chinaman.
00:28:36But she is worth much more than a whistle.
00:28:38She doesn't understand this, but I do.
00:28:41I confess I'm confused.
00:28:43Tell me, are you starting to court me by any chance?
00:28:45But listen, little one, when I start courting you, I assure you, you'll notice.
00:28:55She was crying when she answered the phone, so I couldn't tell her anything.
00:28:58He wants to see me tomorrow morning.
00:29:00Look, do you know what I think?
00:29:01I think he's done with Morgan.
00:29:03She was crying with emotion.
00:29:05Of course she left that man, I hate him now.
00:29:08I'll go to her tomorrow morning.
00:29:09I will start working again not with Hopper, but with someone else.
00:29:13A man like me can always find work.
00:29:15I can do a lot of things.
00:29:18It's nice here.
00:29:20It's so cute.
00:29:26Good joke, Jim, huh?
00:29:29Oh, hello, my dear.
00:29:31Are you sitting here?
00:29:33The flagship.
00:29:35Come aboard, Admiral.
00:29:38You've always had this vice.
00:29:40Make some daring jokes.
00:29:41You don't think about it and apologize the next day.
00:29:44If you want to sit down and have a pleasant chat with us,
00:29:47go ahead.
00:29:49I don't want your conscience to bother you tomorrow when you're no longer drunk.
00:29:53I don't want you to feel sad afterward thinking that you acted like a thief towards me.
00:29:58Because you essentially didn't steal anything.
00:30:00That pin is a knockoff.
00:30:03I paid ten dollars for it.
00:30:05They're repairing the authentic one.
00:30:07You know, it's very funny that you fell for it.
00:30:10I leave it to you with infinite pleasure.
00:30:13And please, don't bother calling me to return it.
00:30:16And for other reasons.
00:30:18Stupid, foolish, drunkard.
00:30:22Listen, you should stop drinking, Jim.
00:30:24I recommend it to you.
00:30:25If you don't want to end up in the hospital.
00:30:28Come on, Steve.
00:30:36My own stupidity is really beginning to amaze me.
00:30:41Poor dear Engel, in the hands of a drunken idiot.
00:30:48Well, we have to find some other means.
00:30:54Oh, excuse me, Mr. Engel, can I have my bag back?
00:30:57Thanks for keeping it for me.
00:30:59Well, how are you, Jim?
00:31:01Boy, tell me, do you happen to have in your pocket
00:31:05$3,000 more, you understand?
00:31:08Who, me?
00:31:10This is funny.
00:31:13But what's happening here?
00:31:15Dear Mr. Engel needs $3,000 urgently.
00:31:20Actually, it's a matter of life or death.
00:31:25What?
00:31:26But I thought it was...
00:31:26That's true, Mr. Engel.
00:31:28Is she really broke?
00:31:30Face to face with disaster.
00:31:33Thank you for your good intentions.
00:31:35Everything will suit us.
00:31:37Let me think.
00:31:46Sorry, it's a ritual.
00:31:48Let it end.
00:31:50Tax.
00:31:52What's so funny?
00:31:53It's such a funny thing, Mr. Gibbons.
00:31:55There's no point in me telling him.
00:31:57Maybe it's a good subject for a comedy.
00:31:59Mr. O'Brien was under the illusion that Mr. Engel was a millionaire,
00:32:01but he kept repeating it all night and wanted to introduce him to some of his cheating friends
00:32:05so that they could peel him well and truly at the game without too many compliments.
00:32:09A loss of 30 or 40 thousand dollars, isn't that right, Mr. O'Brien?
00:32:12With a nice poker.
00:32:14And we were supposed to share a prize, Mr. O'Brien and I,
00:32:18for bringing Mr. Engel, the famous millionaire, there.
00:32:23It fell off a policeman's whistle, he told me.
00:32:27But instead he fell out of the crib and hit his head.
00:32:30But stop then.
00:32:32He wanted to offer luck to me,
00:32:35scamming a poor, penniless devil.
00:32:38Someone give me a drink, how funny.
00:32:40I had an idea.
00:32:41And what idea?
00:32:42Boy, this is the greatest plot that has ever existed since the Tower of Babel.
00:32:46Don't worry.
00:32:47Citto.
00:32:48If I'm not mistaken, I understood that those nice friends
00:32:50They are waiting for Mr. Engel to arrive with the plan to fleece him with a nice game of poker.
00:32:55Isn't that right?
00:32:56You forget, he's talking nonsense.
00:32:57Silence, silence, there is no time to argue.
00:33:00Pay attention, please, young O'Brien.
00:33:02It's perfect.
00:33:04You take our millionaire, Mr. Engel, to the players' den.
00:33:07Your friends will let him win at first to entice him.
00:33:12He will win, let's say, $3,000.
00:33:15At this point, Mr. Engel will leave the room for a moment and disappear into the night, peacefully.
00:33:21and with a new perspective on the world.
00:33:23Excuse me a minute, come away.
00:33:25I have an urgent commitment.
00:33:26The most urgent commitment is this.
00:33:30I will write your life, my young renegade.
00:33:34You will become a hero, from Gip the Red to Gala of a lesson.
00:33:38And what little star will it be?
00:33:41A hero.
00:33:42I need both of you.
00:33:45But that little cat hid.
00:33:49Hey, waiter!
00:33:50He saw my moment.
00:33:59She didn't happen to see a sad-looking man
00:34:02walking in the rain with your head down in a poorly made coat?
00:34:06I didn't see anyone all evening.
00:34:08I regret.
00:34:09Wait here for me while I look for it.
00:34:11That goalkeeper couldn't miss.
00:34:15I didn't say it wasn't painful.
00:34:17I only said that a man who kills himself
00:34:19It's nothing new here or anywhere else.
00:34:21Please, be quiet.
00:34:27Should I play a dirty trick on Duce and Raite and the others?
00:34:31For someone I don't know?
00:34:35Of course they boo her with ideas like this.
00:34:42Will she keep crying all night?
00:34:44I begged her to be quiet.
00:34:46I'd leave her here for less than a penny.
00:34:48And what are you waiting for?
00:34:50The good thing is that I don't have any commitments.
00:34:53and it's raining outside.
00:34:56I doubt I could do any better on a rainy night.
00:35:01Come on, there's no reason to cry.
00:35:04That poor man.
00:35:06I thought no one wanted to die.
00:35:08And who knows, who knows how many of them there are like this.
00:35:12Like this?
00:35:13With a pain in my heart that is impossible to bear.
00:35:16Ah, I'm the one who's sorry.
00:35:19She is cruel and vile.
00:35:21Oh yeah?
00:35:22I know the pain I have inside here.
00:35:26It makes me angry, you know?
00:35:28She cries and gets emotional over the first idiot she meets.
00:35:31She lives buffeted by every wind
00:35:33and now she cries for a stranger.
00:35:36It's ridiculous.
00:35:37I'll leave you alone.
00:35:39But what's happening?
00:35:39What happens?
00:35:40If you don't want to buy anything, why are you coming here to argue?
00:35:43This is a shop, not a theatre, I think.
00:35:45Okay, tell me the rubber.
00:35:46Does she want some too?
00:35:47I don't want anything.
00:35:48So a package.
00:35:50I don't know why all the crazy people in town choose this place to shelter from the rain.
00:35:55Things that happen.
00:35:56Did you find it?
00:35:56Not yet.
00:35:57Let's go out.
00:35:58Be careful, Gini, you'll catch pneumonia.
00:36:01I have a carriage outside.
00:36:02I want you two to go up and down the streets keeping your eyes peeled.
00:36:05We need to find Mr. Engel.
00:36:07Aren't you looking for it?
00:36:08I'll look for it better on foot.
00:36:09Go to the 42nd Street Theater.
00:36:11The doorman will let you in.
00:36:12If you find Mr. Engel, take him there and wait for me.
00:36:15All right.
00:36:15If I don't take him there myself.
00:36:17Do you understand, boy?
00:36:18So onward, onward, onward, and good luck.
00:36:28We didn't try hard enough.
00:36:30No, we searched a lot, I paid three dollars.
00:36:32Didn't she tell me what happened to her after she left the monkey club?
00:36:35But nothing.
00:36:37I can't find work anymore, huh?
00:36:38No.
00:36:40She's been driving around non-stop, hasn't she?
00:36:42In fact, I haven't stopped looking for work.
00:36:46That's what I was doing tonight too.
00:36:47Yes, and that's how we met.
00:36:51And you, Mr. O'Brien?
00:36:53Yes.
00:36:55Mr. Gibbons telephoned Ornoneguari.
00:36:57He says he has to wait for him on stage.
00:37:02Let's move forward, shall we?
00:37:08I'm going to turn on the lights.
00:37:10You don't move or you'll hit the mountain.
00:37:13The mountain?
00:37:14Which mountain?
00:37:15Oh, well, let's not start with the probing questions.
00:37:17A mountain is a mountain.
00:37:19Now I'll turn it on so that my curiosity can be satisfied.
00:37:25Now I'm starting to understand what this is about.
00:37:28Today they opened the asylum.
00:37:29Oh, really?
00:37:30Who are you referring to, Mr. O'Brien?
00:37:33I want to allude to Mr. Engel, to Mr. Gibbons, to this guy from the mountain.
00:37:38And finally, a little to her too.
00:37:41It's a bad sign when someone thinks they're the only sane person in a world of madmen.
00:37:48Let's hope it lights up soon.
00:37:51What is he afraid of?
00:37:53What do you want me to hug in the dark?
00:37:56I won't do it, don't worry.
00:37:59Maybe this will be new to her.
00:38:02Alone for an hour with a man who doesn't hug her.
00:38:05Rest assured, Mr. O'Brien.
00:38:06I'm slowly getting used to all his insults.
00:38:09Oh, she feels insulted when someone doesn't hug her right away.
00:38:13Okay, I apologize.
00:38:14I don't understand why she treats me like this.
00:38:16She continues to take an interest in my life and when I tell her the truth she gets angry.
00:38:20Come on, don't start crying again.
00:38:22Why not?
00:38:23I will be the master of crying over myself.
00:38:27She thinks I'm the most horrible person in the world.
00:38:30Oh, excuse me, excuse me.
00:38:33I must be crazy.
00:38:35I run after her like a puppy and when I see her I treat her badly.
00:38:39Excuse me.
00:38:45Listen.
00:38:47We are friends.
00:38:50Certain.
00:38:53Let's go see what happens.
00:38:56Still nothing.
00:38:57Perhaps the thought of bringing Mr. Engel into that den of crooks disturbs her.
00:39:00But I know everything will be okay in the end.
00:39:02It's safe.
00:39:03I got it into my head.
00:39:05Listen.
00:39:06If there's one thing that doesn't bother me at all, it's bringing Mr. Engel into that lair.
00:39:10of cheaters.
00:39:11I can assure you of that.
00:39:12Don't get any wrong ideas in your head.
00:39:14I'm not here for Mr. Engel or Mr. Gibson.
00:39:17I am here solely for my own interest.
00:39:20Whatever.
00:39:21You take him down there and help him.
00:39:22She will succeed easily.
00:39:24Anyway, enough with the jokes.
00:39:25Now she's exaggerating.
00:39:26I'm serious.
00:39:27He will win, I'm sure of it.
00:39:29I read in a book that cheaters always let others win in the first place.
00:39:33She reads silly books.
00:39:35If you want to know what happens to good people, don't read books, read newspapers instead.
00:39:40What happened to the Poles, the Finns, the Dutch?
00:39:42They were good people, did they win?
00:39:44They will win one day.
00:39:45Ah, you forget.
00:39:46Every man for himself.
00:39:47This is my motto.
00:39:51Oh, look.
00:39:53That old man isn't crazy at all.
00:39:54There really is a mountain.
00:39:56It is clear that this is not the most suitable light.
00:39:58It has a completely different effect when the lights are fully on.
00:40:01A snow-covered mountain in Thessaly.
00:40:04Thessaly of ancient Greece, you know?
00:40:06Ancient Greece that...
00:40:07Yes, yes, we know all about Greece.
00:40:14Do you hear that noise?
00:40:16Those are the mice.
00:40:18I'm here in Schiere, in Gioni.
00:40:23If I didn't pay attention, they'd eat the scenery.
00:40:26They would eat up the whole theater if it weren't for the actors.
00:40:29All that screaming of theirs scares the mice.
00:40:32If I had served my God with the same zeal with which I served my king,
00:40:36He would not abandon me, naked and derelict in the hands of my enemies.
00:40:41Go away!
00:40:42Get out, corpses!
00:40:44The open field!
00:40:45The open field!
00:40:50I scared them away.
00:40:57And he's not crazy, you say?
00:40:59Yes, it's a magnificent theater.
00:41:13Oh, if only I had my costume where I was in chains.
00:41:17It's made of papier-mâché, it might collapse.
00:41:21This is wonderful.
00:41:33Are you sorry?
00:41:36I do not believe.
00:41:43Yet there is something that is not right.
00:41:47Maybe it's my fault.
00:41:48I can't explain it, there's something holding me back from kissing her.
00:41:52Look, Mr. O'Brien, you don't have to insist that you don't like me.
00:41:56No, don't be silly, there's a side of her that doesn't convince me.
00:41:59Which side do you mean?
00:42:01But I don't understand it.
00:42:03Of course, he doesn't understand me, I always talk like an idiot.
00:42:06Sometimes I get excited and then I get disillusioned.
00:42:10This illusion arose while we were dancing.
00:42:14You know when you look into a girl's eyes and imagine seeing something there that isn't there.
00:42:20This is what I saw.
00:42:23Maybe there was one thing.
00:42:26Perhaps...
00:42:26No, this is the night of my dreams.
00:42:29First I come across a millionaire, that fool Engel.
00:42:33Then I meet the woman I've always dreamed of.
00:42:36Come on, it was just a mirage.
00:42:38Bill...
00:42:39No names are coming my way tonight.
00:42:40This is the sad reality.
00:42:42Hi guys!
00:42:44You lose here, Mr. Engel.
00:42:46Below.
00:42:47A couple of glasses with that bottle.
00:42:50Enter our hero.
00:42:51Ah, he found it, I'm so happy.
00:42:53Pilgrim, behold the mountains of Thessaly covered with white snow.
00:42:58Or rather, in the opinion of critics, a molehill.
00:43:02Oh, thanks, eh.
00:43:04What do you think of this background, Mr. Engel?
00:43:07It really looks like a real mountain.
00:43:09But it seemed so, until the critics tore it down, those eroders.
00:43:14Here, drink this, it will restore your strength.
00:43:16Thank you.
00:43:17Do you know what I was thinking?
00:43:18I'm sure everything will be fine, believing that I'm rich they will let me win.
00:43:22Friends, at this point I'm also right.
00:43:25Bill, where are you going now?
00:43:26Bye bye.
00:43:26Don't you want to accompany me there anymore?
00:43:28His friend's dreams are absurd and he is delirious and believes he is always on stage.
00:43:32Do you know what Duce and Wright would do to me if I played a similar trick on them?
00:43:36He has six assassins under his command, men ready for anything.
00:43:39What an alarmist.
00:43:40But she can't help but notice, Mr. Gibbons has given her a hint as to what she should say after the game is over.
00:43:45Yes, I will take the slaps they give me by reciting the dialogue that Gibbons imagined would be appropriate.
00:43:50But why should they be suspicious?
00:43:52These are the wings of the angel Afrodil, who is a good actor.
00:43:58But she can't leave, she took the...
00:44:00Do you want me to risk my life?
00:44:01And why what?
00:44:02Where's my percentage?
00:44:03Why should I do that?
00:44:07To give a man a hope of life.
00:44:10To give him a way to go back to the beginning, to be happy.
00:44:13And what do I care if he's happy?
00:44:15Who has ever done anything for me or her?
00:44:18I know this city.
00:44:20I've worked in hotels of all kinds, full of fleas, bedbugs and with golden elevators.
00:44:26I heard screaming and crying behind the doors.
00:44:30People kicked out because they didn't pay.
00:44:32One once hits himself out of the window for this.
00:44:36I have never seen a helping hand offered.
00:44:40If that man wants to kill himself, go ahead, I have no interest in taking care of him.
00:44:45Is he that cynical?
00:44:46Of course, I'm a percentage player, that's all.
00:44:49For money, everything.
00:44:50But for...
00:44:55Wait.
00:44:57What's up?
00:44:59I'm silly.
00:45:01More foolish than her.
00:45:04What would happen if Engel won more than $3,000?
00:45:07What if he won 6,000 or even 10,000?
00:45:11And if you win it over 3,000, give it to me.
00:45:15I'll talk to Engel and see what we can do.
00:45:17Hey, Mr. Engel.
00:45:17We'd better go.
00:45:19I have to say a few words, Mr. Engel.
00:45:20You've talked enough, my boy.
00:45:22There's a taxi waiting at the door with the engine running.
00:45:25What I have to tell him is important.
00:45:27Listen, Mr. Engel, I...
00:45:28You, on the other hand, will keep quiet.
00:45:30I'll keep quiet, okay?
00:45:32Tell me, who do you think you are?
00:45:33A god?
00:45:34Exact.
00:45:36I'm glad you noticed that too.
00:45:39But your vision is still limited.
00:45:42Because each of us is a god.
00:45:45We are all filled with miraculous light.
00:45:50Walk.
00:45:51Thank you.
00:45:53The Almighty often needs a little support.
00:46:15They are waiting for me for the information.
00:46:17They will come here right after.
00:46:20Who are those?
00:46:22The big one is Eddie Burnick, champion wrestler.
00:46:25I'm not very afraid of him.
00:46:26But that other one...
00:46:29...is the brain that works for Duchamp Wright.
00:46:32He Sartino.
00:46:36Come on, make up your minds.
00:46:38What do you want me to do?
00:46:39We will see.
00:46:40I'm ready.
00:46:41And I know everything by heart.
00:46:43What do I know?
00:46:44What I have to say.
00:46:45Let's do a quick recap, Mr. Engel.
00:46:47He is a very rich man.
00:46:49He's so rich he doesn't need to speak.
00:46:52In conclusion, it is so rich that there is nothing to talk about.
00:46:56This is his part.
00:46:58Be careful not to get confused.
00:47:00No, I'll act like a real ricone.
00:47:02Don't worry, Mister Gibbons.
00:47:04No, no, no, it's not working.
00:47:07I want her to act like a poor man.
00:47:10You always remind us of his troubles.
00:47:12Then he will look exactly like the rich man with millions.
00:47:15Ah, I see.
00:47:16Well.
00:47:17We're ready, Mr. O'Brien.
00:47:22We're talking.
00:47:37Hi, Bill.
00:47:38Oh, hello, Luis.
00:47:39How's life going?
00:47:39Not bad at all.
00:47:41Let me introduce you to Miss Barona, my friend Artino.
00:47:43Mister Engel, Mister Gibbons and Eugène Gibbons.
00:47:46Nice to meet you.
00:47:47Ah, yes, the comedian.
00:47:48It seemed like a familiar face to me.
00:47:50Behind seeing her, Mister Gibbons.
00:47:51I'm a big fan of his.
00:47:53And here's Eddie Byrne.
00:47:55Congratulations to the company.
00:47:56Sit with us, Luis.
00:47:57We were drinking and thinking about where to end the evening.
00:47:59You seem like a real man of the world to me, sir.
00:48:01Maybe you can help me persuade Mister Engel
00:48:04that to make the theatre live, men like him are needed.
00:48:06Hey, more money, more actors, more ideas.
00:48:10This is what the theatre needs, Mister Engel.
00:48:14She smiles.
00:48:16Because he is certainly convinced that I am talking nonsense.
00:48:20Nonsense.
00:48:22Let me repeat that, Mr. Engel.
00:48:24With $30,000 you would almost own the play.
00:48:28With just $30,000 he could get over his whim.
00:48:31to stay on stage day and night enjoying his show.
00:48:35I have no intention of talking business tonight.
00:48:38I just want to have fun, Mister Gibbons.
00:48:42Well.
00:48:43Bravo.
00:48:46Most noble desire.
00:48:47And this is precisely our intention, Mister Engel.
00:48:50Long live the joy!
00:48:52Am I right, Mister Artino?
00:48:54Certain.
00:48:55We should take care of your friend, Bill.
00:48:58Yes, I had already mentioned the club to him.
00:48:59It's a very pleasant kind of private club.
00:49:02And there just so happens to be a meeting tonight.
00:49:05A small gathering for a few friends.
00:49:07He too could perhaps intervene if it's not too late.
00:49:10Oh, I'll take care of it.
00:49:11Come on up, Mister Engel.
00:49:12Everyone will be happy to have a friend of Bill O'Brien.
00:49:15Oh, thank you.
00:49:16Well.
00:49:17Nice to meet you, Mister Gibbons.
00:49:19And you too, miss.
00:49:21Congratulations on that funding.
00:49:23See you later.
00:49:29She's wonderful that you did that.
00:49:31Don't worry about me, I work for the percentage.
00:49:35It's all right, Mister Gibbons, don't fall asleep.
00:49:38What is everything okay?
00:49:41Ah, he's not sleeping.
00:49:42He's dead drunk.
00:49:44Come on, Engel, give me a hand.
00:49:48But I'm fine, thanks.
00:49:52My room isn't very big, but it's big enough to contain a hangover.
00:49:55Stop commenting, you've tired me out.
00:49:58Where is Engel?
00:49:59Here.
00:50:01So, do you remember your part, my dear?
00:50:03Yes.
00:50:04The little man fights against fate.
00:50:09As soon as those crooks decide to start peeling her,
00:50:13she gets up and goes away.
00:50:15Tell them you have to see me, because your friend is a very dangerous drunk,
00:50:20terrible, and it could set the hotel on fire, for sure.
00:50:24As she goes out, they will be sure of her return.
00:50:27But she will run away and live happily ever after,
00:50:32as I have established.
00:50:36Mr. Gibbons.
00:50:37He just couldn't take it anymore.
00:50:39Yes, the directive mind rests from effort.
00:50:41Shut up, he can hear.
00:50:42He will walk among the lord's vineyards for some time.
00:50:45Ah, a fine fellow, Engel.
00:50:47He leaves it at the last moment.
00:50:49He does exactly the same as in comedies, according to his critics.
00:50:52It starts well, then loses its way.
00:50:54Like a poor child.
00:50:56He has lost his way now too.
00:50:58Quick, they're waiting.
00:50:59Yes, they're waiting, I know.
00:51:02But first I want to have a little chat with her.
00:51:04He retreats again.
00:51:06I'm not retiring again.
00:51:07I'm willing to help her,
00:51:09but not because of that nice guy's other nonsense.
00:51:12The comedy must have another ending.
00:51:14An ending written for Bill O'Brien.
00:51:18I'm in, dear, but I want a lot.
00:51:20A lot?
00:51:21Yes.
00:51:22Anything over $3,000 will be mine.
00:51:24How can I win more money?
00:51:26Ah, what's the point of this, let's go.
00:51:28I also saw $15,000 on a plate.
00:51:31One time they let a guy win $8,000 early.
00:51:35Look, whatever amount you win,
00:51:38I'll take everything except 3.
00:51:40All right?
00:51:41Oh, sure, that's fine.
00:51:42I only need $3,000.
00:51:44Now there is an interest for me in this business.
00:51:47Should I have risked my life without any interest?
00:51:50She's ready for anything, right?
00:51:52Yes.
00:51:55Wait.
00:51:58His dress is shabby
00:52:01and he can't sit at the table with these 5 cent cufflinks
00:52:05take them off.
00:52:07He'd be a handsome millionaire with that tin on him.
00:52:10I didn't notice it at first.
00:52:11but there might be someone smarter than me in there.
00:52:14Here, put these on, they're gold.
00:52:16We waste too much time.
00:52:17Astia, shut up, it's a good thing I can wear Gibos's stuff.
00:52:20Those guys over there have very piercing eyes.
00:52:22And take off that stall tie.
00:52:28Perpey, $5 tie.
00:52:32Here, he puts it on quickly.
00:52:35But the dress is not ironed.
00:52:36It doesn't matter, they'll think I'm an eccentric.
00:52:40Ketos, handmade.
00:52:43Beautiful, right?
00:52:45Here.
00:52:46And here's the best part.
00:52:49Schick, huh?
00:52:51To Jim, my first and last love.
00:52:54Harriet, June 1924.
00:52:57She's his wife.
00:52:59Now she's asking for a divorce, hasn't she?
00:53:02It's early, we'll be late.
00:53:04My first and last love.
00:53:08Can this be written honestly?
00:53:11No, I don't think so.
00:53:12It is impossible for a woman to be capable of this.
00:53:15Let's go.
00:53:16Bill.
00:53:16Say.
00:53:18She is mistaken.
00:53:19Oh, I'll see.
00:53:20But what if something happened to her in there.
00:53:22Please cry on my grave, don't send me flowers.
00:53:24Will he come back here?
00:53:26No, I would have the intention.
00:53:30Abil, I have a pain in my heart.
00:53:33Come on, have courage.
00:53:38It would be funny if things went the way I said.
00:53:42We will make more money saving a man's life than we would have made fleecing him.
00:53:52Let's go.
00:54:01There is the ladder over there.
00:54:03He will always go straight until he gets down, but then he won't stop to look for a taxi in front of the hotel.
00:54:07Ah.
00:54:10If you don't find a taxi right away, walk away.
00:54:13Yes.
00:54:14Yes.
00:54:36Here we are.
00:54:39Do you feel like coming in?
00:54:51Hi Tony, is everything okay?
00:54:52Come in.
00:54:54Hi Jack.
00:54:55Hi Eddie.
00:54:56Hi Bill.
00:54:57Listen, I'm here with Mr. Engel.
00:54:59He was waiting for you, come forward.
00:55:01After her, Mr. Engel.
00:55:15Mr. Enright, my friend Mr. Engel.
00:55:18I'm glad to see you, Mr. Enright.
00:55:20Oh, good evening.
00:55:21I'm glad to see you again.
00:55:22Have they already met?
00:55:23It's the gentleman who was downstairs and whom I told you about.
00:55:25Oh, yes, yes, yes.
00:55:27She wants to have fun, huh?
00:55:29Yes, I would like that.
00:55:31Did you know we have a little club like this here too?
00:55:34Am I serious?
00:55:35And where?
00:55:35In Cleveland.
00:55:36Ah, a beautiful city.
00:55:38Please sit down.
00:55:39Thank you.
00:55:46It's a little late for me now.
00:55:48What time is it, excuse me?
00:55:49Well, I only do 1.30.
00:55:53I see you changed your tie.
00:55:55Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:55:57Out of consideration for all of them.
00:56:01We usually never allow strange people into our club, but there are a few players this evening.
00:56:06and since the conduct here our friend Brian will be able to play a little if that pleases you.
00:56:11Oh, sure.
00:56:11Mr. Engel is worried because he doesn't have cash on him and I had to warn him that by custom
00:56:15Here we only play with cash.
00:56:17He doesn't have any, huh?
00:56:18No, eh.
00:56:19But I have my sign book in my pocket.
00:56:22I only used half of it.
00:56:23Do you know what that guy did when the bank wrote to him that his account was overdrawn?
00:56:27He immediately went to the bank and asked
00:56:29But how can this be if I haven't finished all the checks in my book yet?
00:56:38You understand, huh?
00:56:38He thought he had money.
00:56:40I understand.
00:56:42Cleveland, huh?
00:56:43Oh, yes.
00:56:45The local bank?
00:56:46Oh, no, no, it's the New York Bank. I also keep money in the New York Bank and in Cleveland.
00:56:52and in Chicago.
00:56:53It's more convenient for me when I'm traveling.
00:56:56Is this okay with you guys?
00:56:58Of course, Mr. Engel is our guest.
00:57:00Then write me a check.
00:57:02How much money do you need?
00:57:03Do I walk there?
00:57:04Well, that seems a bit too much for now.
00:57:07I'd say that would be enough for me...
00:57:11...three thousand dollars.
00:57:12To start with, only to then take more, do you think?
00:57:15All right.
00:57:16Here it is.
00:57:18You start, Mac.
00:57:19What methods do you observe?
00:57:20Whoever makes paper, Mr. Engel, can open as much as he wants.
00:57:23We do it this way too.
00:57:24I managed to drag Gibbons to my room.
00:57:28Did you know that he was already drunk when he spoke to her before?
00:57:31He was jumping like a sheep, thank goodness I didn't bring him here.
00:57:34Who is this?
00:57:35Mr. Gibbons, the playwright.
00:57:37He was downstairs too.
00:57:43Step.
00:57:45I open by one hundred.
00:57:47Who am I?
00:57:48Mr. Engel.
00:57:51I am.
00:57:52I'm in.
00:57:53Step.
00:57:56How many cards?
00:57:58A.
00:57:59Three.
00:58:03Plus five hundred.
00:58:05Four times.
00:58:07I see.
00:58:09I have it.
00:58:11Three queens.
00:58:13They play very hard, don't you think?
00:58:16Ah, yes, just the way I like it.
00:58:24For you?
00:58:25What from me?
00:58:25What from me?
00:58:39No, no, no.
00:58:50It needs some picks.
00:58:53I have.
00:58:53Ninth.
00:58:54Ninth.
00:58:54Ninth.
00:58:54Ninth.
00:58:54071.
00:58:57Ready?
00:58:58Who's speaking?
00:58:59Hello, Anna.
00:59:01Give Mrs. Gibbons a moment.
00:59:04Tell her husband.
00:59:16Ready?
00:59:17Hello, yes, it's me.
00:59:20Listen, Arietta, now I'm going to tell you not so well.
00:59:24Yes, I'm drunk as usual.
00:59:28At least I think I am.
00:59:30My head is confused.
00:59:33I had managed to find a great idea for a new job,
00:59:37but I absolutely can't remember it.
00:59:41Please, darling, don't be angry.
00:59:47I want to see you, but I won't come home.
00:59:55I don't know, dear.
00:59:58It will be one of the usual seedy places.
01:00:02A hotel, I think.
01:00:05Listen, I need you.
01:00:08I need to come home.
01:00:11I can't write a line anywhere else.
01:00:18You are so much, dear.
01:00:22That's kind of you.
01:00:24No, no, no, it's nothing, dear.
01:00:26I'm a cold.
01:00:28Listen, darling.
01:00:30I have only loved two women in the world.
01:00:34To my mother and to you.
01:00:37You are the only lights that shine in my heart.
01:00:39The others have vanished.
01:00:41Forever.
01:00:46Thank you.
01:00:49Yes, yes, I will find the way.
01:00:51Alone.
01:00:53Yes, I remember it.
01:00:56Thank you dear.
01:01:14I should have known I was in company.
01:01:18Forgive my strange behavior.
01:01:21I usually never abandon beautiful ladies,
01:01:23but I have some business this evening.
01:01:26But your face tells me something.
01:01:29But I just can't remember what it's about.
01:01:34My memory is so hazy.
01:01:38I didn't do anything wrong, did I?
01:01:40No.
01:01:41Well.
01:01:42So now I can go home.
01:01:45Good luck.
01:01:47And goodnight.
01:01:49Snow white.
01:02:04Where did he go?
01:02:05At home.
01:02:06Ah, it melted, huh?
01:02:07He chose the moment well, but I...
01:02:08No, wait.
01:02:09Let him go, please.
01:02:11What happened?
01:02:12Nothing.
01:02:13And he woke up without remembering anything about Engel or anything else.
01:02:15And without recognizing me.
01:02:19But what's going on in there?
01:02:21The program is just beginning.
01:02:22So what?
01:02:24Engel is waiting as agreed and biding his time.
01:02:27Is something wrong?
01:02:28No, not for now.
01:02:35Maybe it's worth it.
01:02:39But it's a difficult way to make money.
01:02:42It's like jumping out of the mouth of a cannon.
01:02:59Has she ever been my friend?
01:03:01No.
01:03:03It would have happened over there.
01:03:06With celebrities on the beach.
01:03:10Big shots have a thing for girls of her type.
01:03:14And so, while I'm getting used to her, someone would offer her a diamond necklace.
01:03:19And I would be alone again.
01:03:24How dare you.
01:03:28Why isn't he ashamed?
01:03:30It gets on my nerves to be scrutinized by that hypocritical gaze of his like that of his friend Gibbons.
01:03:36I want him to stop.
01:03:39Yes, every moment is itself, I know it too.
01:03:42I'm just here to make money.
01:03:44And she is who she has always been, no more, no less.
01:03:47And if he doesn't want to hear it, he can go away, run, reach his precious mystery.
01:03:54Oh, I have big things going on in my head, he wants to stop.
01:03:58Step.
01:03:59Aren't you having much fun, Mr. Engel?
01:04:01But the game hasn't gotten lively yet.
01:04:04Who has a cigarette?
01:04:05Oh, I'll buy it for you.
01:04:06Here you go.
01:04:10Thank you.
01:04:15Is your name Gene, sir?
01:04:17No.
01:04:18It was to be expected.
01:04:19This belongs to Gibbons, right?
01:04:21Gene Gibbons.
01:04:22Oh, yes.
01:04:23Yes, he gave it to me.
01:04:26He's been very courteous to me because he'd like me to finance one of his plays.
01:04:30He deals the cards and we play for real.
01:04:37Well, of course, he was really drunk.
01:04:40In fact, I'm a little worried about him.
01:04:42He looked like he was very sick.
01:04:45Well, comedy could, yes, I mean, it could be a good idea, you know?
01:04:50I'm starting to think about it.
01:04:54He says that by spending only $3,000 on a show
01:04:58you can earn a fortune.
01:05:05Step.
01:05:08I open 500.
01:05:10And I'm in.
01:05:13Me too.
01:05:16Step.
01:05:17I'm in.
01:05:21Step.
01:05:22How many cards?
01:05:24Three cards.
01:05:26A.
01:05:28A.
01:05:30I didn't hear, how many?
01:05:32Just one card.
01:05:33Here it is.
01:05:37Chip.
01:05:38Chip.
01:05:40It's your turn, Mr. Engel.
01:05:41Oh, right.
01:05:43I have the game all the dollars I have here.
01:05:462,500, if I'm not mistaken.
01:05:48Step.
01:05:49This is a strong episode.
01:05:52I didn't say you can bet as much as you want.
01:05:54Sure, that's fine.
01:05:572,500, huh?
01:05:59I see, Mr. Engel.
01:06:02So, what?
01:06:03I have three aces and a pair of sevens.
01:06:06Better than a ladder.
01:06:07She won.
01:06:09It's not boring anymore, huh?
01:06:11No, it seems the cards have sympathy for me.
01:06:14If that other ace hadn't come, she would have won.
01:06:17Would you like to drink something?
01:06:18Oh, thanks.
01:06:20I have the impression that some movement is starting now.
01:06:37Step by step.
01:06:40Mr. Engel.
01:06:48Step.
01:06:49I open two hundred.
01:06:51I'm in.
01:06:52Plus a thousand.
01:06:55Step.
01:06:56Step.
01:06:57How many cards?
01:06:59I don't want any.
01:07:01I'll take one.
01:07:04What are you talking about by hand?
01:07:08One hundred to see.
01:07:09Step.
01:07:13I see them.
01:07:14Queen's ladder.
01:07:17Ah, nice dish.
01:07:18You're right, Mr. Engel.
01:07:19The game gets interesting.
01:07:21For good luck, I'll keep the winnings aside.
01:07:24Well, I think I'll be staying here with them for a long time now.
01:07:27And if no one minds, I'd like to take a look at my friend,
01:07:30to Mr. Gibbons, to see how he is.
01:07:32But where is he now?
01:07:34He is now resting in Mr. O'Brien's room nearby.
01:07:38I'm worried about him.
01:07:39I'm afraid he's worse off.
01:07:41He was in a terrible condition.
01:07:44Sorry, no.
01:07:46If they don't mind, I'll stay out for two or three laps.
01:07:50Go ahead.
01:07:51So it will be more peaceful afterwards.
01:07:53Yes, I will play more willingly afterwards.
01:07:57I'm leaving all my initial mail here.
01:08:00Please.
01:08:04I'll probably lose a lot of money due to this interruption.
01:08:07But when I get back, I promise I'll show you how to play poker.
01:08:11Come on, cards.
01:08:35Thank you all.
01:08:49What happens?
01:08:50Did he lose?
01:08:51I don't remember the room number.
01:08:54But it's 1020, you see, it's right there.
01:08:56Oh, right.
01:08:57It is true.
01:09:05Lada, go away now, what are you waiting for?
01:09:07I cannot.
01:09:07At least he won.
01:09:08Go down that ladder I pointed out to you.
01:09:09He's out there.
01:09:10Who?
01:09:10The big one.
01:09:11Eddie?
01:09:11Yes.
01:09:12Did he speak to her?
01:09:13Yes.
01:09:14Of course he was spying on me.
01:09:15I didn't notice it, I couldn't get rid of it.
01:09:19How much did he win?
01:09:203,000.
01:09:21No more?
01:09:22No, no more.
01:09:23I left part of it there, I was scared.
01:09:26How beautiful.
01:09:28A marvel.
01:09:29She only thought about herself.
01:09:31This will be very useful to you.
01:09:33Eddie won't go away?
01:09:34No, of course.
01:09:35How can I do it?
01:09:37Wait a minute, I have to think about it, it's not easy.
01:09:39But I have the money, the money in interest.
01:09:41Shut up.
01:09:49Come back to resume the game right away.
01:09:51We're all in danger, that guy out there is a murderer, he'll kill him if he tries to leave.
01:09:54I have to take this risk.
01:09:55Take the risk, but do you know what will happen to me?
01:09:57He lets me go.
01:09:58Where does he want to go, to die with me?
01:10:00I want you to understand that right now we are playing with a ball.
01:10:03Is there a fire exit, can I escape through there?
01:10:04No, it would be convenient to go away and leave me in the lurch.
01:10:07I'm going out now and calling Eddie.
01:10:08No.
01:10:08And I'll tell him that she is an impostor and that I made a mistake, that she tried to escape and
01:10:12that I stopped him.
01:10:13I'll do this to save myself.
01:10:14No.
01:10:15What do you mean, no?
01:10:16She won't do this.
01:10:17Why not?
01:10:17Because I don't want it.
01:10:18I don't want that, huh?
01:10:19I want them to tear me to pieces, that's what I want.
01:10:21Where is he, Mr. Gibbons?
01:10:22He's gone.
01:10:23Bill, listen.
01:10:24He's gone.
01:10:24Oh, Bill, please.
01:10:25It doesn't matter, it's much better, we'll finish sooner.
01:10:27I should never have trusted him.
01:10:29She gives up on this.
01:10:30No, I'm not giving up, but what can I do?
01:10:31Nothing, nothing.
01:10:33Listen, come on, stand up for me.
01:10:36There's only one way out of this.
01:10:37But you don't sound like Gibbons either.
01:10:39No, please.
01:10:40Listen to me.
01:10:42I know she doesn't want to abandon that man.
01:10:44I understand that he wants to save him.
01:10:45What are you waiting for then?
01:10:47All evening she did nothing but insult me and I never wanted to answer her.
01:10:50Maybe because he was right.
01:10:55Yes, it's all true.
01:10:57I'm nothing more than a woman you picked up in a nightclub.
01:11:01But she...
01:11:03She is of my same race.
01:11:05We are more or less the same.
01:11:07She, me, Engel...
01:11:10It had to go badly.
01:11:12This was inevitable.
01:11:14People like us never get anywhere near anything worthwhile.
01:11:19Unfortunately.
01:11:22To Bill.
01:11:24I don't know how to tell him.
01:11:26But there are other ways to succeed.
01:11:30Bill.
01:11:31At least once let's try not to be like always.
01:11:35Please.
01:11:38Protect that poor man.
01:11:40You help him.
01:11:42Open the window.
01:11:46Oh, you can't.
01:11:48We will be able to open it.
01:11:51Too late.
01:11:51No, no, hurry up.
01:11:54Who is?
01:11:56Who is?
01:11:57I, Eddie.
01:11:58Oh, Bill.
01:12:00Hold him out for a moment.
01:12:13What do you want, Eddie?
01:12:15They've been waiting for Engel in the room for a while.
01:12:16Oh, Engel, yes, it's here.
01:12:17He'll be back playing in a few minutes.
01:12:19The boss wants you to stay close to him because he's afraid he'll melt.
01:12:22No, what kind of idea.
01:12:24Imagine, he's convinced he can win a hundred thousand dollars.
01:12:27You've really fooled him.
01:12:29He says he's limited himself to studying the players so far.
01:12:32The boss wants me to take him back to the room.
01:12:34Yes, but first I need to talk to you about a personal matter.
01:12:38Tell me, what's up?
01:12:39Now, do you know Gibbons, the comedian?
01:12:42Eh, what is Delirium Tremens?
01:12:44Well, he writes a comedy, you know?
01:12:47You don't care?
01:12:48What do I care?
01:12:50But it's a comedy about wrestlers and boxers.
01:12:53That's why I brought him here.
01:12:55I thought you were willing to sell him some news.
01:12:59But remember, I want 50% of it.
01:13:03Don't think about it, I've never given my contractors more than 25%.
01:13:06Oh, okay, I'll take the 25%.
01:13:08First tell him about the time you killed your opponent.
01:13:12Yes, S. Johnson.
01:13:13Johnson, yes, I remember.
01:13:14Gibbons needs dramatic stories, you know a lot of those stories.
01:13:17You'll be able to tell him that...
01:13:19Did you want to do it to me?
01:13:46Angle ran out the fire exit.
01:13:48Cut the road there.
01:13:48I'll take care of that.
01:14:04Bia.
01:14:14Bia.
01:14:23Next time the penitentiary for now
01:14:2520 days, take it away
01:14:28The following
01:14:31Charles Engel
01:14:38This man was caught in the shooting with $3,000 in his pocket.
01:14:42Was he the one shooting?
01:14:43No, it was the other one
01:14:44The one who got away, huh?
01:14:45Yes, unfortunately
01:14:46And she walks around with $3,000 in her pocket.
01:14:49He doesn't know that this city is New York
01:14:50But Your Excellency, do you understand?
01:14:52That money doesn't belong to me, it belongs to Mr. Hopper.
01:14:55Joseph Hopper
01:14:57You can call him
01:14:58What number does he have?
01:15:01Union 2312
01:15:08Ready?
01:15:09Yes
01:15:11Yes, Mr. Hopper speaks.
01:15:13Who?
01:15:16Oh, I need to ask you some questions, Mr. Hopper.
01:15:18And I want clear answers
01:15:19I would like to know if you know a certain Engel
01:15:22Oh, do you know him?
01:15:23Well, wait a minute, I'm a bit...
01:15:25Yes, yes, it's here with me
01:15:27I would like to ask you this
01:15:28She has a lot of money in her pocket and says it belongs to her
01:15:31Oh, that's right, huh?
01:15:32And what amount should it have?
01:15:343000 dollars
01:15:35And they're all mine, like he told her.
01:15:37I was waiting for him impatiently in the office with that money that is mine
01:15:41Oh, okay.
01:15:44Yes
01:15:45Let him do it quickly
01:15:47And I tell him that I'm very happy
01:15:55It finally stopped raining
01:15:58Yes, he could have stopped earlier
01:16:00I spent the night under the water
01:16:02Earning just $3
01:16:04Here, keep the change
01:16:05It's your turn to get rich
01:16:08You feel better now, don't you?
01:16:11Ah, it's a marvel
01:16:12I meant to say that he suffers less now
01:16:14It is true?
01:16:20I am sorry
01:16:22But he will get better soon
01:16:25If you need anything, call me.
01:16:27To do what?
01:16:28I feel like I've taken enough punches.
01:16:30If you want my phone number
01:16:32No, I don't want anything
01:16:34I'm sorry to leave her like this
01:16:36Yes, I'm sorry.
01:16:38I'm just sorry instead
01:16:41Of having interrupted that novel of hers with Mr. Hugo
01:16:44Without this circumstance we would not have met
01:16:47And we would be better off
01:16:48He can't be nice, can he?
01:16:51Not even if he wants to
01:16:53He's afraid he won't appear smart by being kind.
01:16:58All right, Mr. O'Brien.
01:17:03Something wonderful happened last night
01:17:05I will certainly remember this for a long time.
01:17:09Oh yes
01:17:12When things don't go well
01:17:15I will remember Mr. Gibbons
01:17:17Mr. Engel
01:17:21She
01:17:23And I will become more and more convinced
01:17:25That people can be better than you think
01:17:29Yes, better
01:17:30If you follow the most honest
01:17:32Heart impulses
01:17:39Until we meet again
01:18:06One moment, do it right away
01:18:07He keeps the change
01:18:22Hey!
01:18:23That people can be better than you think
01:18:28Yes, better than you think
01:19:10Thank you all.
01:19:37Thank you all.
01:20:13Thank you all.
01:20:28Thank you all.
