" Hello, Gorman." " Where is the honeymoon cabin?" "Mr. And Mrs. Krozac are in the imperial suites straight ahead." " Joe's bringin' that dame back is swell." " Joe gets married like he does everything else." "What gets me is with all those smooth dolls, Joe could have had..." "No, not for a wife." "This girl is healthy..." "homespun stock, I imagine." "Joe's smart." "He knows his eugenics." " You mean, he knows his onions?" " All right, onions, onions." "Well, here's to ya, baby." "Hold it, folks." "Hi, Mrs. Krozac." "Give us the dope on your romance with Joe..." "From your angle." " Pardon?" " How it started, the first time you met him, All that stuff." "I'm sorry, but I not speak english very good." "I'm teaching her." "Just enough, huh?" "This is real front-page stuff, huh?" "Joe Krozac finally married." "A respectable family man." "Somehow it makes you sweeter, Joe." "Could I have shots of Mrs. Krozac alone?" "Sure." "Why not?" "You go right ahead." "Say, you boys aren't drinking." "Ambassador, there's an ex-fellow countryman of yours aboard." "Joe Krozac?" " We are not proud of him." " Some people think there's a lot of glamour about a big shot racketeer." "I do not." "I regard him as an enemy of the public, a blot upon your civilization," "A man who makes organized crime and murder a business." " Well, Joe, How you been?" " Hiya, Joe." "Well, Curly." "See they fixed these canoes" " Have a drink." "That-a boy." "Sure glad to see you." "Speaking as your lawyer, Joe, does Mrs. Krozac know anything?" "Nope." "I'm keeping my private life private." "Would it make any difference to her if she did know?" "Listen, I won't have any trouble with Talya." "She's hand-picked from my old hometown." "I took her to Paris and put her through everything..." "Facial massages, manicures, lace pants, all the works." "All she knows from now on is raising a family." "Another daffy guy you know is getting married, too." "Yeah?" "Who's that?" "Frankie Kile." "I'll have to send him a wedding present." "He took his present two weeks ago." "He and his 3 brothers moved to Brooklyn." "You let him!" "The last words you said to me before you sailed- and you spoke 'em into this ear, not this one- was don't do nothin' until I get back." "Remember?" "And you said as how Napoleon appreciated one thing in a soldier." "Obedience!" "I like a guy that uses his head," "A guy smart enough to act in an emergency." "And the Kile brothers moving into Brooklyn is an emergency," "But you wouldn't know it, 'cause your brain is set in cement." "You let the other guy poke his nose around the corner, and soon he's on your front lawn." "Pretty soon, he's you." "I learned that when I was 16 years old." "That's why when any guy put up his head, I cut it down." "That's why I got warehouses and men and trucks" "And private telephones from coast to coast." "That's why I got you guys working for me." "The Kile brothers didn't forget you." "Here's your invitation to the wedding." "Ok." "I'll give him a present..." "And it won't be Brooklyn." "Frank!" "Frankie!" "It's Krozac's mob." "It's the Kile brothers." " Are they all dead?" "3 of them." "Acey's still alive." "Well..." "Not a bad picture of me and Talya." "Not a bad picture of the Kile brothers, either." "Yeah, but there ain't enough of them in it." " Where's my wife?" " She's coming now, sir." "Joe." "Joe!" "Oh, Joe!" "Please do not go away." "When are you gonna grow up, baby?" "Pardons?" "Sit down." "Have your breakfast." "That-a girl." "Joe, did you..." "finish your business... yesterday evening?" "Oh, sure, sure." "Everything's fine." "Don't forget to remind me to send him a great big wreath" "When they lay him away." "You know, something like me." "Chrysanthemums, huh?" "Oh!" "It's-it's" "Oh, yeah, yeah, that's us." "That's us." "What is this?" "Oh, just some guys." "Look at the other picture, think how lucky you are." "Married to a great big shot," "You know, like Napoleon." "Joe..." "Napoleon." "Big shot." "Exactly how much English does this doll understand?" "Oh, just enough." "Pretty soon, I'll have to spell out things to you." "Yeah, if you could spell." "Oh, sometimes" "I speak, and I read english good, too." "You got one thing to be thankful for." "She can't beef much until she can talk better." "Is, uh..." "Curly married?" "Not exactly, but I get by." "What's the matter?" "Hey, baby." "Do you think she's sick?" "Well, I never had a dame who slept during meals." " It's Joe." " Here." "Oh, thanks." "You better now, huh?" "Yes." "I fall." "Do I?" "Yeah, right at the table, out like a light." "I fall this morning, too." "Yeah, but why do you do all this?" "Curly..." "He go now." "Yeah, sure." "Go call Doc Jerry Wertz." "Get him over here right away." "Ok, but I'm warning you." "Wertz will want to take a bullet out of her." "What's the matter with you, Talya?" "How i-i tell you..." "Don't con me around, baby." "What's wrong?" "I not speak at all, but I tell you." "Yes..." "I'm sure now." "Little Napoleon..." "Like Joe." "You-you're happy, Joe?" "Happy?" "Why, I'm so happy, I'd like to go up and bust somebody in the nose." "Boy, do I know how to pick them?" "Why, I'm the happiest man in the world." "Hello, doc?" "This is Curly." "Come on over to Joe's right away." "His wife is takin' dives." "Ok." "Oh, Hello." "Too bad you didn't get here a little earlier." " You could have had a cup of coffee." " Call Joe." " For what?" " What do you think?" "Call him." "All right." "If you insist." "I'll fix it up with Doc Wertz so it!" "Is a boy." "If he don't make it a boy, he knows he's got to talk to me." "Joe Krozac, you" "I'm gonna be a father!" "She just told me." "Yeah?" "Well, there are a couple of storks waiting for you." "What?" "C- o-p-s." "Did I spell it right?" "Well, they're here early." "Listen, honey, I got to go out for a little while." "You just stay here and be quiet." "Doc will be right over, hey?" " Oh, you go away from me, Joe?" " I'll be right back." "Don't you turn any somersaults when I'm gone." "Joe Krozac, Junior." "Well, how are you, boys?" "Glad to see you." "What's up?" "You hear about that target practice down at the Rod  gun club?" "Yeah, and I'm shocked." "You know what I mean." "Shocked." "Yeah, we know what you mean." "Ever met Acey Kile here?" "They didn't do a good job on me, Joe." "No, I never met him," "But I know his 3 brothers." "That's why I can't get over this." "They were very dear friends of mine." "You always heard them say they were friends of mine, didn't you?" "Young and bashful, huh?" "Let's go down to Headquarters, talk it over." "Sure." "Glad to help if I can." "Don't give them too much of your valuable time, Joe." "Where do you think you're going?" " Get into your benny." " Anything to oblige." "It certainly is a terrible thing seeing your old friends getting knocked off" "Makes you wonder, don't it?" "You ain't kidding anybody." "Only Krozac kills like that." "Someday, if the cops don't take care" " of you, I will, you dirty..." " Take it easy." "Tell my wife I'll be back in a couple of hours." "and call Gorman." "Let him know where we're going." "You know where." "He ought to." "Danny, I always want You to feel free to call on Joe Krozac to help you with your little mysteries." "All right, Joe." "Danny is touchy about his mysteries." "He has so many of them." "What's the matter?" "You lonely?" "Want to see me home, too?" "No." "I want to introduce you to a friend of mine." "Mr. Broderick." "Hello, Krozac." "Oh, glad to meet you." "Mr. Broderick's a federal man." "Yeah?" "Well, you're a long way from Washington, ain't ya?" "Oh, that's not so far these days." " Have a cigar." " No, thanks." "Have a warrant." "Oh, we get lots of those." "This is a federal warrant, Joe." "What's it for?" "Income tax evasion." " Are you kidding?" " It's on the level, Joe." "Income..." "So, Uncle Sam is checking up on a guy's arithmetic, huh?" "Well, look here." "We don't earn a cent, see?" "My company is practically bankrupt." " Eh, Gorman?" " The books prove that." "We've had those books gone over by experts." "A lot of things don't jive." "Income tax evasion?" "That's a laugh." "Why, that's the funniest thing I ever heard." "Let me see that." ""United States of America Vs." "Joe kro-"" "How do you like that?" "Big shot Joe Krozac in the can on a bookkeeping rap." "Is that funny, or not?" "Yeah, well, that isn't fair." "That's just likehitting a guy below the belt." "I suppose all the guys Are laughing." "Hardly." "It's far too serious for that." "What do you mean?" "What's serious?" "Are you daffy?" "I'm just burned up that they're sticking a knife in my back, like I was a petty larceny crook!" "Joe Krozac!" "How much longer is this appeal gonna take?" "I've got a conference scheduled for tomorrow morning." "Well, how about that ex-Governor Charlie Burnham" "I thought they were gonna" "It takes time, Joe." "They're all working." "Yeah, sure." "In the meantime, I'm in here!" "For months, you've been telling me it was going to be ok." "We're doing the best we can." "But the government's as determined to keep you in as you are to get out." "In fact, they intend sending you away." "Send me?" "Send me where?" "Atlanta..." "Leavenworth." "I can't find out exactly." "When you get this appeal, everything will stop, right?" "If we can get it." "I want to tell you" "You're telling me nothing." "I ain't goin' to no federal pen!" "There isn't one big enough to hold Joe Krozac." "You're getting me out, understand?" "If you can't do it, you get somebody who can." "I ain't leavin' this place with all my dough." "You ought to be able to get me out of here with" "Your wife's here to see you." "My wife?" "Better snap it up." "I don't think she's staying long." "Hello, baby." "Joe!" "Oh, Joe!" " You shouldn't have come down to this dump." " I don't understand all this." "Why they have you here?" "They hurt you, Joe?" " Listen, kid, you feelin' all right?" " They give you good food, yes?" "You guys better get her home right away, see?" " No." "I no go home for little while now." "I go to the hospital, Joe." "Hospital?" "You better get her down there right away." "Oh, don't worry, Joe." "Everything will be all right." "Look here, kid, you sure everything" " I'm sure." "I came to see you first." "You come to see me when baby there?" "Why, sure, sure, I will, kid." "You just hang on." "Sid and Curly will take care of you." "Come on now, kid." "I..." "I'm-i'm a small bit afraid, Joe." "Kiss me." "That's it." "You're Joe Krozac's wife, baby." "You see that she gets the best of everything, see?" "Let me know the minute it happens." "Just leave everything to me." "Good-bye, Joe." "I think of you all through." "That-a baby." "Good-bye, baby." "It's a tough time to be in here, Joe." "What's so tough about it?" "I couldn't help her any." "It's all up to her now." "Hey, you!" "Any word for me yet?" "Hey!" "Any word from the hospital?" " Ah, quit hollerin' will ya, Krozac?" "They do it all on the way to the hospital." "Hey!" "Any word from my wife yet?" " Nope." "Come on." " Where are we going?" " Out." "Hey, wait a minute." "Look out now." "You're not going to take me out like this, Not with all those reporters?" "No." "You don't get any more publicity." "That's all over." "Hello, Joe." "Wait a minute!" "He's clean." "You don't think I'd rob the government of him, do you?" "I knew my old pal would be disappointed if I wasn't around to say good-bye." "All right, Acey, we'll get you a soapbox." "So long, Joe." "I'll see you in 10 years." "I'll have a little Valentine for you when you get out." "Come on, Joe." "Let's go." "That cheap hoodlum don't worry me none." "Look here, why can't we postpone this till I hear about my kid?" " What's the rush anyway?" " Come on, Joe." "Here you are." "Good-bye, Joe." "That's what you think." "All right now." "Special delivery." "Down in there." "Here you are." "Hey, what the" "Hey, that's Krozac!" "Hiya, Mr. Krozac!" "Well, say, looks like I'm bunking' with the captain." "How long did you sign on for, captain?" "You talk to me again, and I'll smash your mouth." "No, you won't." " Where are we going?" " Don't worry about it." "We're going on a world cruise, captain." "Maybe they'll let you steer." "Say, where are we going?" "Any of you mugs know where we're going?" "This is Joe Krozac talking!" "Whoa ho, Josephine!" "Still think you're Napoleon, Joe?" "Hello, Joe, welcome to dreamland." "I'll save you the paper, pal." " How's the little suit?" " Hey, that must be Joe." "Ok!" "Hello, Joe." "Remember me?" "You told me you didn't like me once." "You stepped on a lot of the boys' toes in your time," "But wherever you're going, we're all gonna be with you, Joe." "Happy?" "Looks like you're among friends, huh?" "I might as well introduce myself." "You remember that fancy work you did in Germantown?" "Well, I'm Casper." " Where are we?" "I wonder." " Been riding' all night and all day." "Must be around Kansas city, huh?" "Leavenworth." "That's where we're going." "Yeah?" "Gee, I hope they send us to Leavensworth." "What do you want to go there for?" "So I could be near me old man." "Boy, I'll bet he'll be glad to see me." "Pop." "Hey, extra!" "Just out-evening paper!" "Joe Krozac has son!" "Gang chief has baby boy!" "Extra!" "Extra!" "Read all about it!" "The kid's here!" "Did you hear that?" "It's a boy!" "I knew it would be a son!" "Sit down!" "The papers are always wrong." "Hey!" "Hey, I got to get a paper." " Keep quiet." "No kidding." "I got to get a paper." "I got to read about it." " It's a boy!" " Papers aren't allowed." "Now, wait a minute." "Get me a paper, will ya?" "You can read it to me, can't you?" "Joe Krozac has son!" "Extra!" "Extra!" "Sit down!" " Raise that blind, you'll have trouble." " Why, listen, you!" " Why don't you have him send it" " We'll all help." "Baby wants his bottle!" "We'll give the kid the handcuffs for a rattle." "Will you sit down?" "!" "Ok!" "Looks like everybody's giving everybody else something to remember him by, eh?" "What's going on?" "I tell you, this is it." "We been ridin' 3 days and 4 nights." " That's coast to coast, ain't it?" " Yeah!" "You feel it?" "We are rockin'." "Maybe it's Perth Amboy." "They got boats around Perth Amboy." "No, it ain't Perth amboy." "Hear that?" "We're bein' towed." "It's a tug." "Hey, maybe it's Jersey city!" "It's Frisco, I tell ya." "And if it's frisco, it's the rock!" "It's the rock!" "Yeah, maybe." "Gee, I don't get to see the old man." "Ok, everybody." "You can raise your blinds now." "What did I tell ya?" "There it is." "There she is, boys." "You're gonna snuggle in the arms of Alcatraz." "You ever hit a tougher stir, it'll be when you step out of your coffin." "Ok, now..." "Sit back, here." "You got 5 minutes more for conversation, so get it out of your system." "After that, you'll be talking when you're told to." "You through?" "No." "Joe." "My Joe." "He'll come soon?" "...Yes?" "You just be quiet now, dear." "You've got to be a lot better before you can see anybody." "You've had a hard time." "He said he'd come to see baby." "I know he come." "During the entire day, you will observe the rule of strict silence." "In a week or two, you will be assigned to the workshops" "For morning and afternoon periods." "Conversation in the shops allowed only in connection with the work at hand." "Recreation and exercise period comes once a week" "Saturday- For 2 hours in the yard," "But this, of course, depends upon your deportment." "If these rules are not obeyed, we have discipline to help you obey." "Bring me number 8429." "The warden wants to see you." "Yeah!" "About face!" "Thank you." "Hello, warden." "I kind of thought that you and me would have a get-together." "I've been instructed to inform you that your wife had a child, a son." "Yeah, I heard about it coming out on the train." "It's a boy!" "Born on the 25th." "Both your wife and child are in excellent health." "That's all the information I have." "Now, ain't this a silly setup?" "Everybody in the country- oh, in the world, I guess- knows more about that kid than his old man." "So if I can get to a long distance telephone" "When you will be allowed to receive mail, I imagine your wife will write you." "Receive mail?" "What do you mean I can't find out about my kid from my wife?" "I mean that." "Now, look here, little man." "I've had enough of this." "You get my lawyer, Gorman, on the phone." "This is Joe Krozac." "You ain't talkin' to any sucker that knocked over a corner cigar store!" "Now, let's get that straight." "Number 8429." "And if number 8429 isn't a good boy, he won't see anybody for a long time." "10 years, perhaps, or even longer." "Why, listen, you" "And you heard me mention discipline." "All right." "Ok, move along." " Salt, please." " What?" "Thank you." "I heard about them things once." "We all get tough at the same time, they turn them on." "Oh, them pineapple it's full of tear gas." "Ok, now." "I only said pineapples give me gas, see?" "O.K." "They're full of gas." "Ah, that's fine." "Little sweetness!" "It's too bad he's got to grow up at all, ain't it?" "What do you mean too bad?" "He grows up to be a big, strong man, like his papa." "Huh, little Joe?" "Yes'm." "Gloria-she talks funny." "What goes on here?" "We're just bathing the baby, Mr. Curly." "Mr. Gorman, it ain't none of my nevermind, but don't you think we ought to tell that child about that man of hers?" "It's gonna give her terrible misery when she finds out." "You keep your mouth shut and do as you're told." "Tell her I'm here." "Yes, sir." "That Aunt Jemima's gonna blab one of these days." " What difference does it make?" " So the appeal ain't going so hot, huh?" "Curly!" "Mr. Gorman!" "You tell me about Joe." "They let him come home soon, yes?" "No word yet." "Here are your railroad tickets." "You'll leave for San Francisco tomorrow morning." "Oh, then I'm going to see Joe!" "I show him his baby." "Just a minute, my dear." "Yes?" "This appeal- the court, you know- is costing a little more than I anticipated." "You never heard Joe tell about any other money he has, did you?" "More money?" "But he said you have all the money." "Oh, I see." "I start packing, then I'll bring baby in to show you." "Gloria!" "Gloria!" "Gloria!" "So you want to know where it is, too, huh?" " Where what is?" " Ok, rat..." ""it's costing A little more than I anticipated," huh?" ""No, I haven't heard about any other money he has," huh?" "The vultures are all ready, but the carcass ain't coming through, huh?" "The government is taking over this estate, my friend" "This place, Seven Oaks, and the Westchester house." "That will be nice." "Maybe you can wear a shirt." "What smells so bad around here?" "Somebody put a skunk next to the washer." "Someday, you'll peel back his lower lip, huh, Mr. Krozac?" "That's what they're trying for, but I'm not starting any trouble." "No solitary for you, huh, Mr. Krozac?" "I'm gonna be on tap when my kid gets here, that's all." "Stand here..." "And talk into the window." "Talk English." "You'd better not try to whisper," "Because that loudspeaker won't pick it up," "And he won't be able to hear you." "There." "All right." "Joe!" "Joe!" "Oh, gee..." "Say, that's..." "That's some kid." "Hey, look at that- He knows me!" "Joe, you like your little boy?" "Oh, I'll say!" "He's the greatest kid in the world!" "He's me-me all over, right on the nose, ain't he?" "Are you glad to see me, too, Joe?" "Talya." "You're glad to see his mother, Joe?" "Oh, sure." "Everything is fine." "Say, I bet he weighs more than any kid his age, huh?" "34 pounds." "34?" "!" "Will you- 34 pounds!" "Boy, that's some whopper!" "Hey, Joey!" "Joey!" "Ha ha ha!" "I think of you all the time." "They are good to you here?" "Oh, sure, sure." "Don't you worry about us." "I'll be out of here in no time, and everything will be aces with us again." "Joe Krozac, jr." "Hey!" "Hey, Joey!" "It's your old man!" "Joe..." "I speak English better now, don't you think?" "Oh, sure, sure." "I can see that." "That's fine." "That's fine-hey, Joey!" "Hey, hey, Joey!" "I read in the newspapers." "Joey..." "I read about you, Joe..." "Things I never knew." "I show them to Curly, and he only laughs." "Why shouldn't he?" "I told you they were all lies, didn't i?" "But the lady in the hotel where we stay, she stopped speaking to me and little Joe when she found out who I am." "Joe, I have to tell you" "What difference does that make?" "Told you they were all against me- everybody!" "Don't you worry about anybody but that kid, understand?" "But, Joe, I have to" "We only got a few minutes!" "I want to talk to my kid and look at him, see?" "We got plenty of other times for all that baloney," "So keep quiet, will you?" "!" "All right, Joe." "Hey!" "Asleep, huh?" "You've got one more minute, ma'am." "Listen, kid, I'm up for appeal sometime this week." "Gorman said everything was good when you left home?" "Mr. Gorman said he's doing his best." "That's all he told me." "You keep your chin up." "I'll be out of here in no time." "You get yourself a nice place in San Francisco, and just you watch the newspapers" "The day I strut out of this mousetrap, we're gonna celebrate, kid- you and Joey and me." "You just take good care of my boy, huh?" "Joey!" "I do that with my life, Joe." "Time's up, ma'am." "So long, Joey!" "I'll be seeing you!" "Good-bye, Joe." "Good-bye." "Oh, yeah, So long, Talya." "Atta boy." "Pound the old ear, Joey boy." "Your old man will put a lot of smart talk in it someday" "All the smart talk you'll ever need, Joey!" "So long, kid!" "This way, ma'am." "That's some kid, Huh?" "Oh, boy." "So long, Joey!" "Gee, he's me right on the nose, isn't he?" "You ever see a kid like that?" "34 pounds!" "Oh, boy." "I hear tell you want to see me, warden." "It's about your appeal." "Well, I don't like to say, "I told you so,"" "But I feel kind of high today." "I've just seen a kid that's a 1-2-3 double for Joe Krozac." "Wish you could've seen him, Warden." "Yeah, so long as I'm springing out of here, I don't mind" "Your appeal has been denied." "What?" "This is a nice place to think up jokes in, Warden." "I said, your appeal has been denied." "Denied?" "Hey, listen, warden, I got to get ahold of my lawyer right now." "Gorman, Sid Gorman." "Gorman has resigned from your case." "Resigned?" "You mean, ratted." "That's what you mean-ratted!" "When I get out of here" "You are going to do absolutely nothing." "You are going to stay here with us." "You're going to serve your time- 10 years." "You're going to serve it quietly, according to the rules." "Are you going to have it any other way?" "Ok." "Have it any way you like." "I'll spend my next 10 years standing on my head." "How was he, Mrs. Krozac?" "Oh, please..." "Please leave me alone!" "Are you all loaded, Hank?" " Yeah!" "Then keep your eyes open." "You miss this one, I'll make you eat that lens raw." "Come on, come on." "Please, a taxicab, please." "I beg your pardon, Mrs. Krozac." "Just a second." "I have a rattle for the baby." "Got one." "I got it!" "Extra!" "Joe Krozac's baby at Alcatraz!" "Extra!" "Joe Krozac's wife and baby visit prison!" "Extra!" "Read all about it!" "Joe Krozac's baby at Alcatraz!" "But I want to see him!" "The editor..." "Oh, how do you call him..." " The editor, you call him, yes?" " But, lady..." "But I must see him, you understand?" "Just a minute, lady!" "Who says all these things?" "Who writes all this?" "I'm sorry, boss." "It's ok, Freddy." "Hello, Mrs. Krozac." "You are Mrs. Joe Krozac, aren't you?" "Yes, and I'm here to stop all this." "Who writes all the things about my Joe and my baby?" "Come over here, my dear." " This is all lies..." "You lie about my Joe all the time, all newspaper." "Now you lie about his baby." "My little son..." "You put a bad name on him!" "You make everybody to hate him!" "Sit right here and calm yourself." "We'll have this all straightened out in a minute." "Jump in the morgue and pull out everything on Mr. Krozac" "All those nice pictures, especially." "We're glad you dropped down, Mrs. Krozac." "Mac..." "Hold the final 15 minutes." "More on Krozac." "The pictures will be up right away." "This is a little job he did to one of the Duffy boys in Chicago." "That was before he was a big shot, when he carried a gun himself." "Did you know he was pretty good with a gun, Mrs. Krozac?" "Joe..." "Shot people?" "No." "You get it?" "Blissful, happy ignorance of everything." "A Jekyll-and-Hyde husband the world hated while she loved." "That was when he was in a more expansive mood," "When he really got going- 5 men all at once with a machine gun when their backs were turned, Mrs. Krozac." "It isn't very pretty, is it?" "Course, we couldn't prove it in court, but everybody in the country knew that Joe did it." "You see, we don't want to print any lies here, Mrs. Krozac." "You believe it now, don't you?" "Realization came like a sudden blow." "She saw the fairy story of her husband's political career written in blood." "Why?" "Why do Joe..." "Search me." "Maybe it was so he could be nice and rich and marry a nice girl like you someday and give her things like that, huh?" "Maybe that was it." "Or maybe it was so his son, your baby, could grow up and go to college and have a big car and a raccoon coat, huh?" "But my baby didn't do all this." "It's no right for him to know all this." "That young fellow and his wife had babies, two babies, I think." "But Joe had his boys take him for a ride" "Because he didn't agree with Joe." "Pretty clever, huh, Mrs. Krozac?" "And that wife shot herself when she saw him lying in the morgue like that." "Now those babies are in an orphan asylum, I guess." "It's the old angle, Paul, sins of the father, sins of the father visited upon her child." "Yeah, I get it." "You?" "You write all these things about my baby?" "Oh..." "No, But you saw him!" "Wait a minute." "Let's talk some more, Mrs. Krozac." "Please, don't say bad things about my baby." "Why, it's just news, Mrs. Krozac." "Your baby will be famous for a long time." " Everybody will want to read about him." " Oh, no!" "Please..." "I'm no mad anymore now, but..." "Please..." "Now, now, wait a minute, Mrs. Krozac." "Well, I guess that's everything." "Crack down on it, Paul- the works." "I'll rap out a new head." "Well, that's beautiful!" "What's the matter with you?" "Oh, it's lovely." "I don't know, I guess i've gone noble or something." "I can't take it." " Are you nuts?" "No." "I just caught a flash of you and me in a mirror and we're a couple of pretty filthy- looking guys." "That girl never knew anything about this Krozac stuff." "She's on the level." "Get back on that typewriter, you silly slug." "You heard me tell Mac 15 minutes." "You better get another boy." "Come on, you and me are getting out of here." "Hey, Paul, Wait a minute!" "Snap out of it." " You'll no write anymore about my baby?" " No, no." "Listen, you crazy fool, that's a great story!" "So was the slaughter of the innocents." "Long walk up this hill." "Are you tired?" "No..." "But I must stop crying." "To cry will fix nothing." "Oh..." "Sometimes it does." "The father of my child, out there in a cell someplace" "Because he did all those things." "When Joe and I married, I was in love, and I believed everything he said." "Then all the things happened." "They come and take Joe, and..." "I hear and understand all things." "Today, I watch Joe's face." "I wonder." "All at once, I grew up inside," "And all at once, I feel..." "old and empty." "Oh, now, Joe probably kept those things from you to make you happy, you know?" "Oh, no." "I think he knew I'll be sick and ashamed if I knew." "What are you going to do now?" "I wait until I see Joe next time, and I tell him the names to give his baby..." "And he knows what I have to do, and he say yes." "Hi." "Say..." "Didn't you bring the baby?" "Where's the kid?" "No, Joe." "I didn't bring him this time." "But why not?" "What's the matter?" "Anything wrong?" "He ain't sick, is he?" "No, he's all right, Joe." "Well, what's the matter, then?" "What are you standing there like a dummy?" "What's all this about?" "Look, Joe." "Huh." "Well, I guess maybe they got some sense now." "I guess maybe they know how to photograph Joe Krozac's kid." "That's fine." "Oh, Joe, do not laugh!" "Why not?" "Someday, that kid, he's going to laugh at that picture, too." "Public enemy junior, huh?" "Well, he'll show 'em." "But you see the gun?" "You make my baby a killer, too?" "Who have you been talking to?" "You shut up, you hear?" "!" "Come on, now..." "Let's cut out all this daffy talk, see?" "But I must not bring baby again, Joe." "You see, it is the only thing to do now." " What's that?" " Oh, Joe..." "I'm sorry for you, Joe, but..." "You didn't tell me the truth." "And now our little boy..." "my little boy..." "All his life, he will have a bad name." "He's got my name." "What's better than that?" "Yours?" "Oh, Joe, I must never bring him here again." "I know." "I must take him away someplace..." "Change his name, change my name..." "So that people never follow him and point to him as the son of Joe Krozac." "Say, you forget you ever said that!" "Sometimes when all excitement goes down and people don't think anymore..." "I come back to see you, Joe." "You heard what I said!" "So you're ratting on me, too!" "I come because I'm sorry for you, Joe." "You live wrong, and..." "But you are the man I love, Joe, and you love me, too, and you married me." "Aw, get away!" "I married you because you were my kind for a kid, see?" "A family- Joe Krozac, jr.!" "You don't count for anything, and don't you forget it!" "Joe..." "You don't mean that!" "You heard me!" "You stick around here and bring that kid every month," " ...or else, understand?" " Take him out!" "That's my kid, you hear me!" "I got plans for that kid!" "You try and snatch him, and I'll have you dropped out of sight!" "You bring him here dressed fancy every month," "Or I'll know the reason why!" "He's my kid!" "He's my kid, you hear me?" "!" "You'd better go now, ma'am." "Aw, she can't get away with that kind of stuff." "Try to take my kid away." "Where does she get off to pull that kind of stuff?" "Oh, no." "Don't you worry about me cutting any wrists." "I got too many things to do when I get out." "What's the matter with Napoleon this morning?" "Oh, yes..." "How come Joe junior don't visit his big shot father no more?" "He take a powder on you, too?" "It's Krozac!" "Not to Mr. Krozac, You don't!" " Why, Mr. Paul!" " Hi, Gloria." "I'm sorry, Mr. Paul," "I was getting the young rascal ready for his supper." "He gets into more things..." " Where's Talya?" "I guess she come out on the late trolley again." "Seem like they're working her harder and longer every week." "Maybe we ought to do something about that, huh?" "Uncy Paul!" "I got to do something about that." "Oh, kick those around till they get large." "Run!" "Yippee!" "Once more." "Yippee!" "Oh, here..." "Here, I got a new one." "Now, watch." "Here's the boss." "Oh, my little darling!" "I was just putting him to sleep." "A nice way you're putting him to sleep. "yippee!"" "Come, doll." "It's time for bed." "Mama will play with you a long time tomorrow." "Come, now." "Come, now." "Let me tuck you in." "We'll play tomorrow." "Say good night to Uncle Paul." "No, we got a new one, haven't we, pal?" " Come on, now, let's show mother." " You remember what it is?" "Good night..." "Good night." "Yeah, yeah, I know, but good night what?" "Good night..." "Good night, daddy." "That's it!" "Shake hands on that." "Now, that's a boy." "He and I sort of like it, you know?" "You, uh..." "sort of talk it over with him, huh?" "Did you talk it over with him, Talya?" "Oh, Paul, darling..." "Talya..." "There's a law that will make you automatically free..." "That can be done all very quietly, and no one will know, just as they don't know now." "Little Paul will never know." "But..." "It wouldn't be fair to you." "No matter how we try to forget, try to hide... all that's been still is, Paul." "And there's something else." "That boy ought to grow up with a man around the house, shouldn't he?" "Oh, darling, you've done too much already." "This is all I ever wanted to do." "Everything else has just been leading up to this, I guess." "Now I feel as though my heart's going to stop beating for 10 seconds while I... while I wait to hear whether or not I can keep on doing this forever." "I think your heart is too big to ever stop." "Oh, now, cut it out." "You put the paper to bed." "That boy of mine will scalp me if I'm 5 minutes late today." "All right, Paul, but I want to see if this is your idea of the strike story setup." "Yeah." "Oh, very nice." "Looks very nice." "It's a much better lead than" "Than what?" "What?" "I said it's a much better lead than we had before." "Well, I'll be back sometime monday." "Have a swell weekend, and give my best to Paul, jr." "Boy, I envy you that kid." "I'm gonna sell him to the bush league." "Atta boy, rags." "Keep pulling." "Now, if you were a 15-pound pickerel," "I could reel you in as easy as anything." "Here's your c amping blanket, rolled up like you." "Land sakes, child!" "Has you got that hook in that dog's mouth?" "Of course not, Gloria." "Don't be dopey." "Rags is just helping me practice a little." "I'm sorry, Gloria." "Get away!" "Go!" "You ought to know better than to stand in back of a fella who's practicing." "Yeah." "Yeah, you just practicing to fall right out of the boat, that's what you is." "Hi, dads!" "You have to hurry, dads." "Hi, dope." "Hey, no kidding." "They'll be here any minute." "You get your mother to lay out my stuff?" "Sure, and I've got everything packed." "I've got some Number-4 hooks and some new line." "That won't do any good." "I'm going to catch all the fish, you know." "Oh, yes?" "We'll see about that." "Well, if it isn't that homely woman I married." "Here." "I bought this for a blonde." "I guess you'll have to do instead." " Oh, darling!" "Hey, dads, don't do all that silly stuff with mother now." "You've got to get ready." "They'll be here." "Silly stuff, huh?" "You get ready yourself." "I've just about got time to grease this line." "Hey, you!" "Hey, you little crazy chickadee!" "You stay out of my lard bucket!" "He's so proud to be going off with his father." "Come now, you'd better hurry, dear." "Yes, I know that." "The bus leaves in about 10 minutes." "Oh, darling, they're beautiful." "They all right?" "You know I have a nose for flowers and news, honey." "Didn't you bring a paper home?" "I said, didn't you bring a paper home?" "Paper?" "Oh, I'm sorry, darling." "I forgot it." "Paul?" "Paul!" "What?" "What, you say something?" "You didn't forget." "There... was something in the paper, wasn't there?" "Yes, he's getting out next month." "Now, darling, we swore that when this happened, we wouldn't give it a thought." "He's just as far removed from you and Paul now as he was before." "Darling, you're hidden." "You're hidden by 10 years of me and this house." "The whole world's forgotten." "And nobody and nothing is ever going to change that." "I know." "I'm silly, darling, but just for a moment, the look on his face and how he threatened... came back so clearly again." "I'm all right now." "You're all right all the time." "Have a good time, you two." " 3 wonderful days." " Good-bye, dear." "Come on, dads!" "Please hurry!" "Come on back here!" "Has your mother got the measles or something?" "Good-bye, dear." "Good-bye, mother." "Don't worry about dads." "I'll take care of him." " Good-bye, darling." " Good-bye, darling." " Good-bye" " Good-bye, darlings!" "That's a pair of men to be proud of, honey." "They're yours forever." "Yes, Gloria." "Good-bye, Joe, and good luck." "Hiya, Joe!" "Hiya, kid!" "You knew Curly would be waiting for you, didn't you?" "You look swell, Joe, swell." "Come on, let's get rid of these freaks." "Get away, you mugs!" "Hi, Curly." "Hi, Mr. Krozac." "Sit right here, Mr. Krozac." "This ain't the Palace hotel, but I guess it's better than what you've, uh..." " Bottle of Scotch." " Scotch." "Yes, sir." "I picked a nice, quiet spot, boss, but it'll liven up pretty soon." "Curly ain't forgetting you." "Sit down and relax, boss." "Have a cigarette." "Boss?" "It's legal now, Joe, but there ain't much doing it." "Half the stuff ain't as good as what we used to put out, but it warms you internally." "It don't go down so easy after a long time off of it, does it, Mr. Krozac?" "I guess Frisco ain't such a tank town after all." "Huh, Joe?" "We're kind of on the committee of welcome, Mr. Krozac." " Ok, beat it." " What?" " Beat it." " Well, of all the..." " What's wrong?" " You heard me, get out." "Well, pardon my 6-ounce gloves." "I like that!" "I know why they let him out- He's dead." "Gee, boss, I thought you'd..." "Where is she?" "Where's that dame?" "Where's that dame with my kid?" "Oh, your wife, you mean." "I thought you knew about it, Joe." "She married another guy." "Yeah, I know, I know." "Where are they?" "Where are they hanging out?" "I don't know exactly." "I don't even know what the guy's name is." "Last I heard of her," "Red said he spotted her in a store up in Boston." "We're gonna find that dame, see?" "And I'm going to pay her off, along with that sucker that she hooked up with" "Pay her off good and plenty." "Then I'm going to take my kid, understand?" "Later, Joe." "All that later." "Yeah?" "For 10 years I waited to catch up with her." "10 years!" "Joe, but what about us?" "We've been waiting for you just as long." "You can't go back on the boys." "I ain't goin' back on them, but first I got" "Listen, Joe, we've missed you." "Like we've missed a head and two legs." "There's only one Joe Krozac." "10 years can't fix that different." "Kind of missed me, huh?" "Right up and down the line, Joe." "I got a plane staked out." "We'll be in new york in 16 hours." "After you get back East and get things going good, then we can all help you spot that dame." "And then one night, you'll walk in there, pay her off, and take the kid." "Yeah." "Maybe you're right." "So, uh, all the boys are waiting for me, huh?" "For nobody else, Joe." "And this is Billy Ernst, does a beat job now and then" "And incidentally plays a swell game of snooker." "But he's thinking of other things now, huh, Billy?" "Yeah." " Ok, Billy." "We'll get along." " Sure." "And this is Bottles Bailey." "You knew his old man, Stinky Bailey." "Oh, yeah." "Rolland got to him, didn't he?" "I got to Rolland 4 years ago." "Yeah, I heard about it." "Nice going, kid." "I can always use your kind." " Thanks." "Well, you met them all, boss." "Now maybe we can get down to cases." "Well, boys..." "I guess we can do business." "Just so long as you'll always remember who's boss in this organization." "Limpy here and Curly and Brockett," "They'll tell you just how to run an organization, eh, boys?" "So just you remember who's boss, and I'll do the rest." "Understand?" "You're full of wind and dust, ain't you?" "What?" "Why don't we turn off this secondhand gasola and throw a few naturals?" "That's what we're here for, ain't we?" "Is he on the level?" "Maybe Bottles is a little quick, Joe, but that's the way we move now, direct." "Like I told you, there's a lot of new angles." "Things move faster, 10 years faster." "Everything's streamlined, you know what I mean?" "We get to the point quicker." "Getting it?" "What is this?" "You guys giving me the business?" "All we want to know, Joe, is where's that dough you held out?" "Just tell us where you got that stashed away" "And maybe you'll have your organization." "What dough?" "You know." "Who do you think you're talking to, you cheap phony?" "I'm talking to you, not Napoleon, huh?" " Now where's the dough?" " I ain't got any dough, you know that." "You got a couple of million." "You're not fooling nobody." "You're crazy!" "Ok." "Pick him up." "You've had a 10-hour walk, Joe." "Feeling in a conversational mood yet?" "No." "I haven't got anything to say." "Still stubborn, huh?" "Get Red on the phone." "Tell him to get going." "We may need him after all." "Move!" "Pick him up, boys." "Gee, it's hot today, ain't it, Joe?" "Like some ice water?" "Butterfingers." "Has he come across yet?" "No, and I think if we go over him once more, he'll never talk." "Hiya, boys." "Hiya, Red." "Here?" "Bring him in." "Bring him down." "I think you'll unbutton your lip now, Joe." "Maybe you'll talk to your son." "My what?" "Here." "Hiya, sonny boy!" "Had a long trip today, huh?" "Oh, sort of confused." "Well, your old man's confused, too." "My father?" "Is my father here?" "Where?" "Right here, the great Joe Krozac." "He's been pining for you, sonny boy." "Father?" "That's not my father." "Sure it is." "Ain't he pretty?" "Are you all crazy?" "Y- you're kidding, ain't you?" "How do I know this is my-my" "This ought to make it sink home." "See?" "That's my father." "That's dads and mother." "You're just kidnappers, aren't you?" "I see what you're heading for." "No use trying anything with this kid, see?" "Because that ain't a picture of that dame." "No, no, that ain't the woman!" "I ought to know!" " Curly ought to know, too." " You're screwy, Curly." "That's just somebody who looks like her." "You ain't going to work the boy over, are you?" "That all depends on you, Joe." "You wanna talk?" "Listen, boy- You're not mine, see?" "They just think you are, see?" "So no matter what they do to you, you can take it." "I know that you can." "Just like your old man, see?" "I don't know what you're talking about!" "Let me go home to mother and dads!" "Don't let them throw you, Joey!" "Start him off." "I think you'll decide to talk, Joe." "Start walking, Sonny." " What?" " Get a move on!" "Walk!" "Pick them up!" "Feet!" "Feet!" "All right, my son." "Dad's at breakfast." "You're not going to sleep all day, are you?" "Oh, always throwing your things around." "Don't you want to eat breakfast?" "Paul!" "Paul!" "Paul!" "What is it?" " They've taken him!" "He's come and taken him!" "Oh, he has him now!" "I'll never see him again!" "And he'll tell him everything!" " What are you going to do?" " I'm going to call Washington." "The police?" "No!" "It'll get in the papers, and wherever he is, he'll see it!" "He'll show it to him!" "All we've been trying to hide!" "Washington has known all along about you and Paul." "They've had to." "It's their business." "But I swear to you, they'll keep this thing absolutely quiet." "When I tell them to, it will break in every paper in the country." "It will be hard for him, but I think that boy has enough spirit to outlive anything." "Spin around, Sonny." "That's the ol' kid." "Getting hot, Paulsy walsie?" "How about a nice, cool drink of ice water?" "You wouldn't give me the sandwich, you won't give me the water." "You heard that?" "I guess that told you!" "I don't know whose kid he is, but he's as game as a pit dog!" "That's throwing it in there, kid!" "Whoever his old man is, he ought to be proud of him!" "Come on, Curly." "What are we waiting for?" "Wait, don't!" "Please, don't!" "Are you gonna talk, Joe?" "Ok, start giving the kid a workout." "Oww!" "Please, don't!" "Shut up!" " Cut it out!" " Ok!" "Will you talk now?" "Ok." "I'll tell you." "Anybody still live in my old Westchester home?" "No, it's closed up." "Well, out by the swimming pool is a great big..." "This is the last stop, Joe." "What?" "Come on!" "We're saying good-bye, papa." "The kid, too?" "Sure, with our love and kisses." "He must be hotter than a firecracker now," "And we got enough hot stuff as it is." "Yeah, you can get to know the kid better!" "Then maybe all 4 of you can live together!" "How are you ducking bullets, Joe?" "Yeah, the feds will be shooting at you from all sides!" "Thanks for the bus fare!" "They ain't getting away with a thing." "That dough ain't going to be theirs for long." "Was there much?" "The box looked real full." "Plenty." "But that don't matter." "Soon as I straighten out that old lady of yours," "I'll take care of those smart double-crossers" "One by one, from Curly down!" "And there won't be any mistaking who done it." "The Krozac trademark will be stamped all over them!" "Come on." "Are you coming home with me?" "Yeah, I got a date with that dame in your watch fob." "My-my mother?" "Ok, call her that." "I guess I don't understand you at all." "Mother and dads will be awfully glad, after all you've done." "Yeah, I wonder." "There's a lot of things you don't understand," "But you will soon enough, because you're my kind of a kid, see?" "I guess." "It's awfully funny about those men thinking I was your son, isn't it?" "No, no, it isn't." "Because you are my son, see?" "That's one thing you've got to get right now." "I can get home without you." "You don't need to come along." "Now wait a minute, Joey." "Just a second, Joey." "My name isn't Joey." "It's Paul North, jr." "You're crazy if you say it's anything else." "I think you're all crazy anyway!" "Let me alone!" "Hey!" "No kid of mine is going to hand me any lip!" "I didn't sweat half my life in a steel box to come out and get this from you!" "You're Joe!" "Joe Krozac, jr., Understand?" "And you and I are going back to that dame -your mother" "She'll tell you that I'm your father from first to last, understand?" " Yes." " You gonna behave?" "Sure." "Sure, I am." "Come on." "We got to get out of this." "Dig in under." "That's what you do with a haystack." "Did you leave any money for the eggs?" "Boy, you sure got funny ideas." "But you and I are going to get along all right." "We won't have any more beefs on each other." "I hope not." "'Cause you got brains." "You know, I like brains around me." "Your angle on digging last night, you know?" "And this fire, with the poles and everything" "Where did you learn that kind of stuff?" "From dads." "You see, he taught me all about camping out like this." "You see, we went on a camp hike last month" "Come on, come on." "Let's get moving." " We had a race to see who could" " Come on, come on." "catch the most fish, and he caught 20 bass and pickerel, and that only made" "Fish, fish... go on, stop that, will you?" "Lay off of that stuff." "I don't give that fish stuff a nod, no matter how many you've caught." " I'm sorry." " What are you sorry about?" "Always feeling sorry." "Don't do that, kid, will you?" "Waste of time." "Come on." "I'm sor..." "I mean, ok." "Attaboy." "You'll smarten up with me, all right." "Yes?" "Washington?" "Ok, put them on." "Yes, yes, speaking." "What?" "Yes, where?" "But what about my..." "Oh." "Yes." "I'll be here all the time." " What?" " Nothing about Paul yet, darling." "They caught up with the Krozac gang and shot it out with them." "They're all dead." "But they didn't have Paul." "But what about him?" "He wasn't with them, either." "Then he has him." "He has my little boy!" "I'll never see him again!" "You all right, kid?" "I guess so." "Say, what's that?" "Got decorated, huh?" "It's just a medal they gave me in school." "Lincoln medal." "That's pretty good, huh?" "I guess it is kind of an honor." "Why do they call it a Lincoln medal?" "You got to look like Abraham Lincoln?" "Oh, no." "You see, it's for outstanding achievement." "Yeah?" "And, well, Lincoln was a great man." "Oh, sure." "Lincoln was ok." "But if they'd have put Napoleon on there, it would've been a real first-class medal." "Napoleon?" "Yeah." "Dads said Napoleon got a swollen head." "That's what beat him down." "So now he's going to pay off Napoleon, is he?" "Smart guy, is he?" "Now he's gonna pay off Napoleon!" "Maybe he won that medal instead of you." "As a matter of fact, he did help me get it." "Well, that's what he said." "Well, you see, I almost flunked in math, and dads showed me a new way to" "Can that Dads stuff!" " But I only said" " Cut it out, you hear me?" "Dads, dads, dads!" "You call me that if you want to call anybody dads!" "You're my kid, see?" "Joey!" "Joe Krozac, jr.!" "You'll get that into your head right now, or" "Please, don't!" "Don't, Joe!" "You're getting all sick again!" "Please!" "Guess this will have to wait." "Now you've hurt your sore eye." "Here..." "I've got some adhesive in my emergency pocket." "I'll just clean it up a little." "Here's your medal, Kid." "I can't now, I'm too busy." "I'll keep it for you." "Well, we got a croaker." "Always come in handy in our family" " Eh, kid?" "Huh?" "Oh, yes." "Come on." "Wake up, kid." "Come on, Come on, kid." "We got to walk in in style." "Oh-oh!" "Honey child!" "He's back!" "Oh, my darling's back!" "My boy!" "It's all right, mother." "I'm home now." "Oh, yes, yes, I know, darling." " No, I'm all right." " Oh, my dear!" "Hi, dads." "I'm here." "Oh, son!" "That's a boy." "You all right?" " Yeah, but I have to sleep." "Leave him alone." "Oh, it's all right, Joe." "You see Joe, Joe Krozac is his name" "He brought me home." "Didn't you, Joe?" "There you are." "You got quite a ducking, didn't you, son?" "Here, I'll do that." "The last time it rained, we slept in a haystack." "You should have been with us, dads." "It was fun." "I'll bet it was." "You know, Joe tried to make a fire, and I showed him how." "The way you showed me." "Didn't I, Joe?" "Let's get this coat off." "You two must have had some experience, huh?" "Yes." "Here are your pajamas, darling." "The ones you like..." "How about a big glass of hot milk?" "Oh, no." "I'm... too sleepy, I guess." "You ask Joe." "Joe is probably hungry, though." "Joe, you talk with Mother and dads." "They can help anybody." "You see, mother and dads, Joe isn't very well." "Sometimes he doesn't realize what he's saying." "But it's all right, Joe." "You can talk with mother and dads." "They're wonderful." "You've probably never had anyone like them, because you wouldn't have had all the trouble you've had." "Every now and then, Joe thinks he has a son like me." "He even calls me Joey." "It was funny." "I wasn't afraid of him," "But..." "He's a good scout." "He's ok." "Good night." "Can I get you something to eat, Joe?" "Thank you for bringing him back." "With all my heart, I thank you." "You are proud of him, aren't you?" "He is the kind of a boy you really hoped for, isn't he?" "Isn't he, Joe?" "I don't know." "I wouldn't say that." "He ain't the kind of kid I'd put my money on, exactly." "You got him conned into one way of thinking, so what the heck?" "Let him stay that way, for all I give a darn." "He didn't swallow what I told him, anyway." "You can just tell him I was nuts, you know." "Stir-crazy." "Me?" "I like a kid with some... with some get-up-and-go to him!" "I like a kid that knows all the answers, all the angles." "Why, I like a kid that..." "H- how do you get out of here?" "Good luck, Joe." "Hello, Joe." "I saw you delivering your boy." "Aren't you staying to take him over now?" "You're running out on him, eh?" "Getting big-hearted." "That touches me, Joe." "I'm going to help you." "Start walking into the alley." "Well, you've had a nice, long time to think about it, and now it's here, Joe." "Move on." "Now just stand there a minute and I'll give you something else to think about." "So you're kind of bashful about letting people know he's your boy, are you?" "Well, I'll do it for you, Joe." "After I pump you full of this," "I'm going to drop a little note to every newspaper in town." "Going to tell them about your boy." "Going to tell them what you don't seem so proud of anymore." "That he's Joe Krozac's son." "All his little pals are going to know it from now on, Joe." "No, you won't." "Stay there, Joe, I haven't finished." "They'll all know it, Joe, everybody." "Joe Krozac, jr.!" "Joe Krozac..." "Subtitles resynched and adapted by cinephage from the TCM cc"
