"Read all about it!" "Read all about the big scandal!" "California?" "Right through that centre gate." "I'll be back in 2 minutes" "I should think you might handle fresh fruit once in a while." "I'm too busy..." "I leave the handling to my customers." "I've read all these." "Haven't you a "Town  Country"?" "I did, only they took it away from us 3,000 years ago." "Aah... the train won't leave for another hour." "Give me the 2 bucks." "You don't think I've got anything coming, do you?" "!" "What do you want to do, go clean before we get out of town?" "Call Ruby, and tell her the fleet's in!" "Call her yourself..." "I ain't inviting' no competition." "I'm setting out to sea, myself!" "Last call, 'Pacific Mail'..." "Track 78..." "All aboard!" "I tell you, I can't go on..." "My father would..." "I wish I was dead!" "No use crying over spilt milk!" "You must have known that when you did it." "Why don't you be reasonable?" "!" "Shut up!" "Oh, come on, sweetheart..." "I ain't like most sailors." "And I ain't interested." "Goodbye, dear, I'll wire you when I get to Reno." "There's a hotel clerk there, who's really quite charming." "His name's Ronnie..." "Give him my love." "Not me, I'm cured of giving them love!" "Track 4..." "You'll have to hurry." "Goodbye Jean!" "Oh, there they are..." "I think it's so selfish." "Nonsense." "You and the boys need some good fresh country air." "Daddy, why don't you come too?" "I'll have my vacation next year." "Now hurry, dear, or you'll miss the train." "You take care of yourself..." "Hurry now... goodbye!" "Goodbye!" "Have a good time!" "Yeah..." "She's on her way to Hollywood to join movies." "Can we have a little more of those good-looking legs, please?" "Think of your public!" "Come on boys, get it!" "Now remember, big boy..." "don't you dare two-time me!" "Don't worry, I always keep it all for you!" "Don't forget to write!" "Be good!" "Be careful, too!" "I'll expect to hear from you" "Let me know when you're coming home." "Goodbye!" "There goes the husband..." "For 7 whole days!" "Just check..." "Now can i have some candy, Daddy?" "Sure you can!" "You just can't keep away from barred windows, can you, Chick?" "Bars ain't half bad scrap-iron." "Not when you're on the outside, looking in." "We'll maybe get back in that hoosegow soon enough without you putting on this cop's uniform." "You want to eat, don't you?" "I get it!" "You're gonna steal something from the fruit-stand, eh?" "Fruit-stand, your eye!" "Besides, this ain't a cop's uniform..." "But who knows...?" "Might get us a square meal just the same, eh?" "I'd rather starve, than eat those 'vagrancy beans' again." "Pipe down!" "You get 10 days in the can, and act like you been in jail or something" "In-for-mation." "Now I ask..." "Do you know what you're gonna do?" "No, I'll bite..." "You got any suggestions?" "I'm starving and you ask me riddles." "Riddles or not, I'm heading straight for a dining-room." "With soft, soothing music." "A table sitting right next to a kitchen..." "A good-looking waitress just driving to please!" "How would you like right now, a thick porterhouse steak just smothered in onions..." "Brown potatoes bobbing up and down, and country gravy." "Crock of hot biscuits and some honey on the side." "A cut of raisin pie, and a cup of coffee." " Could you go for that?" " GO for it?" "!" "..." "I'd RUN for it!" "O.K.?" "Well, you keep your eye on the wardrobe, bright-eyes..." "In the meantime, your boyfriend's gonna reconnoitre." "I did the examination for the Secret Service, once." "They've got a cinch job..." "Nothing to do but travel around." "With the government paying all their expenses." "Riding around on soft Pullman cushions." "Yeah, that's the kind of a job we ought to have." "What do you mean, WE?" "I'm satisfied here." "I don't mean YOU..." "I mean me and my fanny." "I didn't know you was married." "Oh Mr Policeman, I wonder if you could come to my aid?" "!" "I was supposed to take the 6.45 to Chicago and I missed my train." "And my kid sister's coming up from Springfield to meet me at the depot." "When the train gets in I won't be there." "And she's such an attractive little thing!" "Much younger than I." "5-foot in stockings... hair very dark." "Gorgeous brown eyes and a beautiful figure." "Doesn't weigh over 100 pounds." "Oh, she's nothing but a doll." "And there she'll be at that big depot all by herself, and I'm so worried!" "So what do you suppose I ought to do?" "Don't worry about a thing, lady..." "If she's all you say she is, I'm sure she's in good hands." "Hiya matey!" "You old son of a sea-cook man-o'-war man!" "I'm always glad to see a sailor!" "I suppose the fleets in, and you're going home to mother on a furlough." "That doesn't make any difference!" "It always warms my heart any time I see any of Uncle Sam's man-o'-war!" "There's no need for me to ask were you "over there"..." "I know!" "I know it by the faraway look in your eyes." "I was in the Navy myself." "Well, I wasn't actually aboard a ship... but my office was on the 42nd floor of the Insurance Exchange Building in the Naval Entertainment department." "All during those trying days of 1917 an '18..." "And I could see you boys sailing away." "The flower of American manhood, sailing away to unknown lands where the shot and shell were falling..." "Some of you never n ever to return, I know... and maybe..." "You'll never know how I suffered!" "You think you're the only one who suffered!" "But let me tell you..." "You have no idea what we went through..." "Sugar... 18 cents a pound..." "No meat, 2 days a week!" "But we were there backing you up every minute!" "Yes Sir!" "Where were YOU during those dark days of 1917 and '18?" "Did you do your share?" "Were you a slacker?" "Oh, now matey..." "You aren't gonna hold it against me, coz I didn't go to the defense of my country when she called me?" "Oh, you ain't, are you matey?" "I beg your pardon, Captain!" "I didn't know you were of the service, too!" "I tell you what..." "Let's all have a little drink!" "Just the three of us!" "Three of Uncle Sam's sailors, eh?" "I'm sorry, I haven't got time." "All aboard!" "That's my train!" "Hey, Screwy, your bag's here!" "All aboard for the 'Spartan' on track number 4!" "Just a minute..." "Des Moines..." "Minneapolis..." "St Paul... just a minute Duluth and Winnipeg... on track number 4!" "All aboard!" "Well, what can I do for you?" "Nothing!" "..." "I'll do it myself." "Yes Sir!" "I sure surrounded them folks out." "Is that so... well the smallest thing I have is a 20." "Boy, if I had change for that..." "I'd be entertaining a good-looking gal..." "lavishly." "This is a fine hat, too, Boss." "Yes Sir!" "Catch it, it's yours, buddy!" "A buck!" "What a man!" "Hey buddy, could you give a poor man a dollar?" "A dollar?" "!" "You got a lot of nerve!" "You asked for a dime or a quarter, I might've done something." "All I asked you was to give me a buck." "You don't want to give it to me, say so..." "But don't tell me how to run my business." "That wins a dollar!" " There you are." " Thanks, buddy!" "But the kind of man I need is practically impossible." "Sorry, but you're late for the regular dinner." "You're still able to feed a hungry man, ain't you, gorgeous?" "I guess we can manage, at a pinch!" "Well, woman, here's what I crave." "I want a nice tomato salad..." "A thick sirloin steak smothered in onions..." "Some brown potatoes and creamy gravy..." "Hot biscuits and some honey..." " From a honey!" " Coffee?" "And a cut of raisin pie, a la mode." "O.K.!" "Hold this, deary, I'm going after some fresh groceries!" "Good luck!" "Oh, Mr Winslow, I'm so glad it's you..." "Oh, I beg your pardon..." " I thought you were someone else." " You're right." "I am somebody else, but don't let that stop you..." "Sit down." "Oh, I couldn't think of eating..." "I'm so worried..." "When I saw you, I thought all my troubles are over." "Maybe they are." "Who knows?" "Sit down!" "I'm in an awful mess." "I wouldn't care, if I hadn't promised Mother I'd be home by tomorrow." "Why don't you telephone her?" "I can't!" "I haven't got a single penny." "Take the air, Baby..." "You're ruining a good man's appetite." "What do you mean?" "I don't like you." "Why don't you go somewhere else?" "Your legs are fat enough without any pads." "Wise guy!" " More coffee?" " Couldn't hold it, Honey..." "You got me!" "Well, you did pretty good." "If you aren't doing anything later on, let me know." " I may be free myself." " It's a pleasure." "How are you tonight?" "Alright, thank you!" "All aboard for the Gulf Express!" "On track number 6." "St Louis, Memphis, New Orleans." "All aboard!" "Thank you." "You girls ought to wear tail-lights, to keep from bumping into each other." "Do I remind you of your boss, Mr Winslow?" " I'm afraid you're mistaken." "Oh, I know all about it" "You're a stranger here, ain't you?" "Ain't got a dime and no friends, eh?" "Ain't even got money enough for a railroad ticket, is that it?" "That's your story, ain't it?" " Yes, but how did you know?" " Well, what are you sitting here for?" "The only thing falling in your lap, is plaster from the ceiling." " Well, I don't know what to do." " Come on, I got an idea." "Let you and me take a walk." "Help you forget your troubles." "Might be able to work out a scheme." " Where do you want to go?" "Oh, anywhere!" "Have a drink, maybe." "Listen to some music." "No good sitting around here..." "Besides, you're just my type!" "I don't know..." "Maybe you're right." "Doesn't do much good just to sit around and worry." "My name's Chick." " What's yours, Honey?" " Ruth." "That's a swell name!" "Well, what's holding us up?" "Please get this straight..." "I need the money." "I need it badly." " I wouldn't go with you, if I wasn't..." " Oh, sure..." "I know!" "You don't have to explain, Honey, I've been around." "I've got to have 64 dollars and 50 cents" "And I've got to have it now, tonight." "What's the 50 cents for..." "War Tax?" " If I don't get it, I don't know what..." " Oh that's alright!" "64 bucks is a lotta dough!" "But I got it, if that's what you mean." "All aboard for the Boston Express on track number 9" "Hey, how about the fare?" "!" "I'm so sorry, I'm in a great hurry you see, I... .. I was looking for..." " That's alright, give us your change." "Will this do?" "Can I take your order?" "Regular dinner for her and nothing for me, and make it snappy." "Well, Sweetheart..." "Here we are... all the comforts of home and none of the housework." "Like music with your... meal?" "First time I heard that tune, was a little honky-tonk in Vancouver." "Know it?" "It's in Canada..." "It's a swell burg." "Let's have a good look at you, Ruthy." "Well, well, well, the gentleman said." "The more you see, the more you want to see." "You know, I like you, kid..." "You're different." "I can't stand anyone who plays me for a sucker." "Why, only a couple of minutes ago, I walked out on your little friend." "Then I saw you." "I knew it was a conquest." "You ain't the type a guy like me runs across so often." "I guess this is my lucky day, eh?" "Now what's the matter?" "Hungry, I guess." "What you need is a little drinky." "You bims are all alike..." "Come on, snap out of it!" "Are you one of them melancholy numbers?" "Coz if you are, the party's off, right now!" "I feel fine, honestly I do." "Nobody's gonna sing the blues around ME!" "I got enough trouble of my own!" "Besides you don't talk up 64 bucks every day by just getting in the dumps." "Don't be silly, I feel alright." "Just need a little drink." "Pour me another, Chick." "And lend me a nickel and I'll change the tune." "That's more like it." "Now you're beginning to be yourself." "There, that's better, isn't it?" "See, it wasn't me at all..." "It was that dead tune." "I like LIVELY music!" "Now do you think I'm a melancholy number?" "What is this, an act?" "Little fool, you're a phony!" "What if I hadn't gotten wise?" "Supposing I was someone who wouldn't have cared?" "Do you realise what might've happened?" "For 2 cents I'd knock your ears off." "You ought to have your head examined, putting a guy in a spot like this." "Who's there?" " Your food." "Pull yourself together." "Before I walk out of here and leave you flat." " Anything else" " No, scram!" "Go on and eat..." "We'll talk afterwards." "But don't think I'm letting you down easy, coz I ain't!" "Go on... eat!" "Little chump!" "All for a lousy 64 bucks!" "Putting a guy in the middle..." "Pretending you're something you ain't!" "Trying to be brave and laugh it off!" "You ought to be socked, no matter how much you needed the dough." "My violin, it would be safe here, no?" "Yes, Sir, perfectly safe." "Und... nobody else could get it... ja?" "Listen, professor, nobody can get anything out of here without this claim check" "That'll be just 10 cents." "Danke!" "Gut!" "All aboard for the Boston Limited." "On track number 2." "Ah!" "Please!" "Stop!" "Please!" " You took me my money!" " I beg your pardon?" "!" "Help!" "I've been robbed!" "I've been robbed!" "Help!" "Help!" "You'd better hurry, Sir." "What's all the rumpus about, Brady?" "Some sucker had his wallet lifted." "You'd think he had a million bucks in it, the way he was squawking." "Teach him a lesson to keep his pants buttoned." "Say, where's your sidekick?" "Hawkins?" "Waiting for him now." "Got a little job on here tonight." "I suppose some poor sap deserted the army." "And 17 of you guys were sent out to bring him in." "Not this trip..." "We picked a hot one this time." " Bank president?" " No, bigger than that, fellow." "I'll show you the guy when I put the bracelets on him." " Right under your nose." " Don't be too sure of yourself." "He might be halfway across the ocean now." "I don't think so..." "He can't swim." "There's really not much more to explain." "After I got out of the hospital, the show had gone on the road." "I was broke, and I had to do something." "What can a chorus girl with a broken ankle do?" "I don't suppose a fellow like you can realise how hard it is to get a job these days." "I knew my only chance was to hang around till my ankle was completely healed then try and join the show." "I took a room in a cheap boarding house, and helped wait on tables, to pay my board." "Then I met..." "I thought so." "I knew there was a "him" in it." "Yes.. a Dr Bernadi." "He lived in the same boarding house." "At first I thought he was just trying to be nice and decent to me." "But I found out differently." "I'm no Pollyanna, a sweet-sixteen either..." "I've been around..." "I know what it's all about." "But gee, I always try to keep decent." "There are a few things I draw the line at." "Dr Bernadi's one of them." "Go ahead..." "you've got me interested." "Then what did he do?" "Well at first he said his eyes were bad and he couldn't read." "He offered to pay me 50 cents an hour to read him nights after work." "That was alright." "But the books he read!" "Gee, I didn't know they printed them so bad." "Said he got them in Europe." "I've seen the type, in hotel lobbies looking up at balconies." "So then what?" "I stood it as long as I could." "I needed the money." "Until last night..." "I can guess the rest." "You're only half right...." "He got fresh, but that was only part of it" "He took off his glasses and I'll never forget the horrible look in his eyes as long as I live." "I can't describe it..." "They were livid, like burning coals." "He sat there, grinning at me." "Then he broke into a wild delirious laugh, like someone being gagged to death." "What a man!" "I always thought he was peculiar..." "But I didn't realise he was a madman..." "completely insane." "How I got out of the place, I don't know..." "I ran for blocks." "All the time I felt he was following me." "I just had enough money to wire the boss of the show and I got this answer this morning." "So the fare to Salt Lake is 64 bucks?" "I just had to get away from those horrible eyes." "Even at the depot, I thought he was following me." "I bet you think I'm exaggerating..." "But honestly, I'm scared stiff." "What does this pineapple look like?" "He walks with a limp, medium build, and wears dark glasses." "And always seems to be grinning." "Don't let him get YOU goofy, kid." "He's probably got someone else reading to him by now, anyway." "I hope she likes his brand of books better than I do." "Well, now that 'Little Nell' has said her piece, we'll see what we can do about it." "I got some connections in this town, myself, you know." "All the officials know me pretty well." "So, if this doctor mug gets tough..." "I'll handle him myself." "In the meantime, finish your java, and we'll blow over to the depot." "And for the first time in his life, Chick's going to play Santa Claus." "What do you mean?" "I believe your story, kid." "Even the part about the eyes." "And you get the 64 bucks without any strings." "Gee, Chick, you're swell!" "I could hug you to death!" "Nobody's stopping you." "You go inside, Honey..." "I'll meet you outside the ladies' dressing room in about 5 minutes." "Gee... you must've robbed a bank!" "What are you talking about?" "Who could get money out of a bank these days?" "Take this and grab yourself some chow." "Say, you ain't turned gigolo, have you?" "No, still the sucker..." "Santa Claus in Wilks pyjamas." "Wait a minute, kid..." "I picked this up outside." "Maybe it can do us some good." "Don't cost nothing to find out, does it?" "You wait here..." "I'll be right out." "Now don't be talking like that, because it's silly." "I know, I know, but what could I do?" "Listen, I been hanging around the check room every minute." "And I'll keep hanging around here till the person shows up." "But don't you see, if I say I lost the check I'm afraid they'll make me describe the contents." "Gee... what is it, a fiddle?" "No, a piano!" "Quit kidding!" "Was that what the check was for?" "No, they give these away with cigarette packages." "What are you gonna do with it?" "You see that joint over there?" "Temporarily I'm gonna make a loan from the gentleman inside." "Later on, I'll redeem it and give you lessons." "Not a bad idea!" "I used to be great on the piccolo." " Come on, let's go." " No, wait a minute." "You're too well-dressed for a musician." "I'll be right back." "Schade, the way he keeps putting me off..." "I'm sorry, I can't stand it any more..." "Just one minute, young man." "So I told Hymie to give me a cheque." "Tells me it's Sunday, a legal holiday." "I need money..." "and he's telling me joke." "Cleaning me out." "You're talking about aggro?" "Think of me?" "I bet on Notre Dame!" "Young man, I'm coming here..." "Save your feet, Julius..." "I've changed my mind." "Wass now?" "Violin... what are you worrying about..." "You can't sell it anyhow..." "Let it go..." "Vey, it would be worth!" "Nice toys for your kids?" "MY kids!" "No, they're all mad at me." "Don't say a word, and follow me, or I'll strangle you!" "Say, what's the matter?" "Is it no good?" "Shut up, or I'll sock you..." "Come on!" "I'm not going another foot, till you wise me up what it's all about." " I'm all ears." " Keep quiet, will you!" "Well, this looks as good as any." "As good as any, for what?" "I want to hide this." "Take this... put it in there." "Shove some coal on it, and bury it up deep." "That's OK." "Pull this down." "Now listen, Scratch..." "All this may seem screwy to you..." "I haven't got time to go into it now." "You've got to guard that violin case like you've never guarded anything before." "Get me?" "I can't go into details now." "But if we get away with this, we're set for life." "We can loaf like a couple of gentlemen." "Now you stick here and guard this with your life." "I'll whistle twice when I come back." "I've never steered you wrong before, have I?" "You do as I tell you, you'll never be sorry." "Can't you tell a fellow what's in it?" " Is it booze?" " No, diamonds." " Thirteen diamonds." " No kidding!" "Yeah, I stole them out of a deck of cards." "Oh, quit stringing me, Chick..." "What IS in that?" "A fiddle, stupid!" "What do you think?" "believe me, it plays the sweetest tune in the world." " Oh." "I'm sorry, honey." " Gee, you frightened me." "What's the matter?" "I thought you were Dr Bernadi." "If you call me that, woman..." "smile!" "I guess it is silly to worry about him." "Say... where were you for so long?" "I thought for a minute, you'd stood me up!" "No, I was cashing a cheque." "Where can you cash a cheque at this hour?" "In the men's washroom." "They keep a guy in there all night, just for that purpose." "Baby, I'm going to send you back to Salt Lake in style... you watch!" "What time does your Mormon Special leave?" "I don't know." "The last one left at 4.30 I think." "Nothing can stop us from finding out..." "Come on." "Ever been to Salt Lake before?" "Sure..." "I played there twice, last season." "That's one of the towns I'm new." "You travel a lot though, don't you?" "Pretty much, whenever I can." "Pleasure..." "I go north in the summer and south in the winter." "That's the kind of life I like." "Gee that must be swell." "I've never been south..." "that is, the real south." "But I've heard an awful lot about southern hospitality." "Southern hospitality is great." "I've been the guest of city officials in several southern towns." "How exciting!" "Of course, I find it rather confining when you have to spend anything from 10 to 30 days in the same place." "Gets monotonous." "Oh, sure!" "Like doing the same routine in a show, day after day." "What can I do for you?" "When's the next train for salt lake?" "There's a train out of here at..." "There's a train out of here at 10.35pm." "You'll arrive in Salt Lake tomorrow at..." "Here it is... you'll arrive in Salt Lake tomorrow at 6.30pm" "Just in time for supper." "Any sleepers on that train?" "Always, the train's already made up." "You folks can go to bed now if you want to." "Where have you been?" "I was on the Dunlop case." "It's a good thing this train is late or we'd have muffed the whole thing." "I only got your message half an hour ago." "What's up?" "Just this..." "The police in St Louis caught a mug on No. 6 on his way out here." "Counterfeit." "Big-shot." "The way I get the story is this..." "They trailed this mug and thought they had everything on him" "But they caught him short." "He finally broke down and confessed he was on his way out here to meet his partner." "The guy we're looking for, still thinks his friend is on number 6." "And the chances are, he'll be down here to meet him when no.6 gets in" "What's he look like?" "His moniker is Bushy Sloane." "We haven't got much of a description so we have to take a long chance on spotting the right one." "What do they think we are, a couple of fortune tellers?" "No. 6 is plenty late now." "He's due here in a couple of minutes." "The thing for us to do is get out on the platform and put the double-O on everybody watching for incoming passengers." "Our man is going to be doggone disappointed when he finds our man is not on No. 6." "Anybody who acts suspicious that way, we grab..." "That's all." "It's a long shot, but better than nothing." "Instead of a taxi, please get me a sedan." "Yes, ma'am." "Looks like a wild goose chase." "Without a photograph, or something definite to go by..." "There are 3 or 4 guys around here that don't look right." "You can't put bracelets on a guy, just because you don't like his looks." "Gee, the world's a big place!" "Not so big..." "Not after you've been around it a couple of times." "See that little place over there..." "Right there, see it?" "That's Port Said..." "the wickedest city in the world." "You ever been there?" "Yeah, I was a stevedore..." "You know the 'Stevedore Line'..." "most luxurious ships in the world." "Let's take a walk, shall we?" "Oh, hang it all!" "Got a run in my stocking." "And my one and only pair, too." "There's a shop over there..." "Let's go and leave our calling card, shall we?" "I need some new red underwear myself." "But say, wait a minute..." "Why should I let you buy me stockings." "You've been nice enough already..." "Buying my ticket." "Well, first, because I think you're a swell little package." "Second, because I go for you in a big way." "Third... because I'm going to send Dr Bernadi the bill, anyway." "If I ever see him." "Now, stop squawking!" "Well, I'll let you buy me one pair, that's all" "Listen Honey, you aren't really a well-kept woman until you've accepted at least 3 pair and a bottle of 'Lily-of-the-Valley'." " Jim, can I use your phone?" " Make yourself right at home." "I want to put in a long-distance call to St Louis police headquarters." "Alright, I'll wait." "Now we'll see." "This isn't a bad buy-and-sell shop, is it?" "I'd bet you'd look like a million bucks in that dress." "And I bet it don't even cost half that." " It's probably not my size." " Don't be so sure!" "Anyway, we came here to buy stockings." "No, you'd get arrested going around in nothing but stockings." "Why don't you get one of those?" "What do you call them..." ""jump-ins" or whatever..." "No..."step-ins", silly!" ""I'm always in a hurry", as the gentleman said as he jumped out the back window." "This has got to stop..." "We came here to get my kickers." "If you don't like that dress when you get back to Salt Lake..." "You send it right back to me, and I'll exchange it for another one." "Go on and try it on!" "I'll get you a ticket and I'll get a suitcase too, and I'll meet you in 5 minutes, I'll be right back, honest!" "Would you like to try on the dress, Madame?" "The one you husband likes?" "Yes, I'd like to try it on, please" "It will be charming on you, Madame." "How about that train to Salt Lake?" "it leaves in exactly one hour and 20 minutes." "At 1035" "Give me a ticket in a lower berth." "I'm sorry Sir, but I've no more sleeping space on that train." "Not even an upper?" "How about a drawing room?" "I'm very sorry, but I just sold the last drawing room if you go out and see the Pullman conductor he might be able to take care of you." "He may have a cancellation." "Much obliged." "Excuse me, is there a lady here.." "a Miss Ruth?" "I disremember her last name." "What do you want with her?" "I've got a ticket and a message for her." "You look charming, Madame!" "Is you Miss Ruth?" "Yes, why?" "The gentleman says you was to meet him in the drawing room." " Drawing room" " Yes ma'am." "There's the ticket..." "Drawing room A." "Car 59 on track 3, now." "Have you got my bill ready?" "Let me see..." "Give me some gum." "What's with that funny-looking gadget?" "5 dollars.. imported." "I just wanted to see it, not buy it." "It's made from the best material." "If you wish, I'll do up your other things, and send them to the car." "It doesn't pull out for over an hour yet." "Thank you, that'll be lovely." "That's Drawing-room A Car 59..." "That's right." "I'll have everything over within a half hour." "Thank you again." "Will I wrap them up for you?" "Save the overhead, I'm in a hurry." "That will be 10 dollars even." "Chick, it's me, Ruth." "Where is she?" "The lady that bought the black dress." "She's gone." "Yes, to met you." " Meet me where?" " In the Pullman." "What is this?" "What are you talking about?" "Didn't you send her a message and a ticket to meet you in Car 59?" "No, I told her to meet me here." " Didn't you send a Redcap?" " No." "One came in and handed her a ticket and said you were waiting." "Car 59 you said." "Just a minute, fella, I want to see you a minute." "Get out of my way, I'm in a hurry." "Looks to me like somebody got the double-cross." "Somebody slipped up." "What's the matter?" "Isn't it good?" "I don't know." "Does that look right to you?" "Where did you get it?" "That girl gave them to me." "Wait here..." "I'll take them to the stationmaster.." "He'll know whether they're good or not." " Car 59?" " Two cars ahead, Sir." "Car 57." "Not so fast, please!" " Where's the violin case?" " You really want to know?" "Let me through here." "Ruth... what's the matter?" "Dr Bernadi's in there..." "Better stand back..." "He may be armed." "He must have jumped through the window." "There he goes..." "Come on, quick!" "He won't bother you no more now." "There she is!" "That's her!" "You just bought some clothes from this lady?" "Yes, why?" "I'm a government agent." "I've some questions I'd like to ask you." " Who are you?" " He's the fellow I saw with her." "You'd better come along, too." "For what?" "To answer some questions about the phony money she's been passing." "Phony money?" "Yes, now don't give me no lip, come on!" "Don't worry Honey, everything's gonna be alright." "Keep your eye on him, Parker." " What's it all about?" " You'll find out." "Do you need any help Mr Kendall?" "You'd better come along." "Did somebody just send for an ambulance at the depot?" "Well, we won't need it now, no." "Send the dead-wagon." "No, I won't be here when it arrives, but send it anyway." "Sit down." "Call the matron." "I want this girl searched." "Wait a minute, chief..." "When it's your turn to talk, I'll tell you." "Where did you get these bills?" " I'll tell you." " Shut up, you!" "Come on sister, you got them from Bushy Sloane." "i never heard of Bushy Sloane." "You're not gonna gain a thing by stalling." "You got them from Bushy Sloane..." "You're supposed to turn them over to the guy coming in on the No.6" "Pretty slick mob." "We're looking for a man down here and they've got a woman to meet the train." "Well, come on, cough up!" "I've nothing to tell you." "I don't know anything about it." "Did HE give you the dough?" " No." " Don't you believe her." "Sure I gave her the sugar, and here's more." "Where are the plates these were struck from?" "Plates?" "Yeah, plates, and I don't mean dinner plates." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Alright, let's go." "Where are you taking us?" "Lock you up till your memory gets better." "Do what you want with me, but she don't know nothing about it, honest." "Now wait a minute..." "Exactly what do you want me to remember?" "Now you are getting smart." "What did you do today, from noon on." "At noon today I was..." "I was in the city jail." "Yeah?" "What for?" "Vagrancy." " What's wrong with YOU, sister?" " Oh, lay off her, can't you?" "She just found out her Santa Claus was a hobo." "What name did they book you under?" "Charles Miller." "Call up the jail, and check on that." "Well, go ahead..." "Where did you get the money?" "My partner and I got let out of the can about... 5 o'clock." "We came over here to catch a train out of town." "My partner found a claim check in the yard." "i took it over to the check room." "They gave me a violin case." "I was broke, so I took it across the street to get some money out of it." "At the pawnshop." "I opened the case and saw it was full of greenbacks." "So I took it back in the yard and hid it in the coal bin." "I took some of the dough out of it first." "That's the honest truth, Chief." "This girl don't know nothing about it." "I saw her at the depot after I got the money" "I tried to sell her on the idea I was a gentleman" "It sounds like it might be true." "How long ago was it you got the violin case from the check room?" "An hour or so ago." "Didn't anybody try to stop you going out of the station with it?" "It's a cinch this bushy Sloane's hanging around somewhere." "Wait a minute..." "As I was going out the train a minute or so ago..." "A guy did stop me and ask me about it." "What did he look like?" "As I remember, he had a  black hat and a long black coat..." "He's got a heel mark on his face now..." "I had to kick him in the face to get rid of him." "That's kind of screwy to me." "After we go out in the yards and get this money..." "I've got to take you down to headquarters and hold you until everything is explained." " What about her?" " I've got to hold the both of you." "You're both guilty of passing counterfeit money" "You've got to let her go, Chief." "I'll go out and show you where I hid the money ...and after that you can hold me if you want to." "She don't know nothing about it, I promise." "I can't release anybody till it's all been explained." "Don't let her go, then I don't show you where I hid the money." "Take it or leave it." "Alright, Mr Wise Hobo..." "you win." "I can't let her go now, but I will let her go when you come back with the evidence." "Providing it doesn't implicate her." "Parker, go down the yard with this kid, and get that money." " What did you get from headquarters?" " Just the bag charge." "Go out in the station and see if you can pick up a guy with a black hat and a long black coat." "Maybe this kid's story is OK after all." "Don't worry, Honey, everything's gonna be alright." "Hey listen, I've got to get to Canada quick." "The next plane leaving for Toronto is 3.20 tomorrow morning." " Are you sure there isn't one before then?" " I'm positive." "Thanks." "Just a second, buddy..." "Why are you in such a hurry to get to Canada?" "I beg your pardon?" "I asked why the big rush for Canada." "Well, here." "I beg your pardon." " That's quite alright." "Do you think I'll get a square deal from your partner?" "Everyone gets a square deal if they haven't done nothing" " Come on, where did you hide it?" " In there." "Here it is." "Stick 'em up and keep 'em up!" "Give me that violin case, or I'll let you have it!" "Wait there till I get away, or you'll get what he got." "Hey, what is this, you mug!" "He tried to murder us..." "Out in the yard." "My good officer, this man is crazy!" "He is a thief, he is a pickpocket..." "He stole my wallet!" "Shut up both of you!" "I'm bringing you both in!" "This man's a murderer and a counterfeiter, I tell you!" "Take us to the station-master's office, and I'll prove it to you." "Kendall, the government man will tell you." "I don't know nothing about no government man." "I got to keep peace on this here station..." "that's all." "Tell it to the judge!" "You've got to take us to the station master's office." "Kendall's waiting for us." "He's the government man, and it's your duty." "Come here fella, or I'll put the bracelets on you!" "Come on!" " Anything else?" " No, that's all, you can go." "They've been gone over 20 minutes." "Looks like that boyfriend of yours..." "Hello... yes?" "Kendall speaking." "Do everything you can for him." "Keep in touch with me." "That's the kind of guys you're working with" "They just found Jim Parker, shot down in the yards" "Unconscious and on the verge of death." "That smart boyfriend of yours got him and beat it with the dough." "Get me Pat Rafty at the Federal Building and make it snappy." "He won't get far..." "I'll put you on that." "Hello, Rafty, this is Kendall..." "Call out the emergency squad and have them report to the Union Depot at once." "Come on, sister, you're going down to the Federal Building." "I'll get that bird, if it's the last thing I do." "What's he think he's trying to get away with, anyway?" "Small-time stuff." "Call a taxi." "Hey, Kendall!" "What is this?" "I'm Kendall, Federal Headquarters." "I caught these two fighting back in the yard and I'm taking them in." "This is the guy you want, Chief." "He shot Parker." "Please... this boy is crazy." "He picks my pocket and gets my violin from the check room." " You dirty liar!" " Wait a minute!" "Let's open this case and we'll see who's telling the truth." "We'll go back in the office and thrash this matter out." "Somebody's a liar..." "That's a cinch!" "In here..." "Make it snappy!" "Sit down... bring him in." " Hello Mr Kendall." " Hello Jim." "Need to do a little business here." "Do you mind?" "Go right ahead" "Now we'll have a look at that violin case." "If it's got counterfeit dough in it it'll look pretty bad for you." "My partner Parker's in the hospital in a bad way." "Who do you think you're making a sucker of?" "I thought you said the counterfeit was in this." "I told you he was lying, gentlemen..." "Can't you see what happened?" "He steals my wallet and with the claim check, gets my violin." "And he has it hidden somewhere." "Make him tell you where he put it!" "You see?" "First he steals from me, and then he insults me." "He shall stay a long time in jail for this." "Release this gentleman." "I'm very sorry to have caused you all this trouble, sir." "But I'm sure some justice for someone will come out of it." "You chump!" "He shot Parker, I tell you." "One more lie out of you and I'll have you gagged." "You're going down to headquarters and no more lip!" "You too, sister!" "Looks like you're in this thing as deep as he is." "Would you like to come down to headquarters and swear out a robbery warrant against this fellow?" "I'd like to get everything I can to hold him on." "If you do this, I'll put a couple of my men on the trail of the violin." "You can rest assured that I would do everything in my power to put this young rascal behind the bars... but..." " You call the wagon, officer?" " Should be here now, Mr Kendall" "Riley picked up a drunk a little while ago and sent for it sent for it." "Alright..." "let's get going." "Come on, get up in there." "Well, bless my ragged soul if it ain't my old pal, Chick!" "Hello, Chick old boy, old, boy, old boy!" "Did you get a snoot-full too?" "Scraps!" "Well, Chief, maybe you'll believe me now." "There's the guy I left in charge of the violin case." "What happened to the money in it?" "What happened to the money, 'Scrap-Iron'?" "See what's in there." "But it's nothing but a sack of coal..." "I caught him stealing it down in the yard." "What did I tell you?" "There's the guy you want." "You'd better grab him quick." "I don't know anything about this." "All I know is, I lost my violin." "And somebody has got to pay for it!" "The Emergency Hospital wants you on the wire, Mr Kendall." "Poor Parker." "Well, we'll all have to go inside again." "This is beginning to look like a vaudeville act." "Send the wagon back..." "I'll get a government car if I need one." "How about me?" "I'm going to the lock-up!" "No, I want him inside with me..." "Go on, take him in." "Keep an eye on him, too." "Where are you taking me?" "I have nothing to do with all this." "I think i have suffered enough indignity for one evening." "Just because my violin is stolen am I to be harassed by a common criminal?" "!" "I am guilty of transgressing no law..." "If you arrest me, I will sue the government" "Well it looks like you better start suing, then." "I'm going to take no more chances." " Put a pair of bracelets on him." " But this is ridiculous!" "I'll sue, and I'll get a million dollars!" "Mr Kendall, you're wanted on the phone." "I know." "Can I use your office again?" "Alright, everybody, in here quick." "Parker?" "!" "So he helped you, eh?" "Sure, I got plugged." "I'll be alright, Chief." "I just come out of the ether." "Well I got the guy that plugged you." "Don't worry about a thing." "What happened to the kid?" "He had a lot of guts." "He's the guy that plugged you, wasn't he?" "No!" "He took out after the guy that give it to me..." "Some guy in a long black coat." "Did you muff him?" "Not quite." "I've got him here, too." "Are you sure that's what happened?" "Well, that's fine." "Alright Parker..." "Yes I've got everything straight now." "When I get through with this mix-up, I'll drop into the hospital on the way home" "And you're the bird who was going to sue the government." "Well, you better get lined up with a lawyer, Bushie..." "You're washed-up!" "Oh yeah?" "You're telling me!" "Take him down to the wagon." "So long, fella..." "This time without the dialect." "I'm mighty sorry to have caused you all this trouble, sister..." "That's alright..." " As long as everything turned out alright." " Just forget about it." "Think about it as a bad dream." "Well, I'll go then." "Guess maybe I'll have time to get to my train." "Goodbye, sister, lots of luck." "You've only got a few minutes..." "You better hurry." "Go on!" "Goodbye." "Well?" "You might've at least seen the girlfriend to the train." "Take those off the kid." "Can't very well say goodbye with those on, can you kid?" "Say, you're a swell guy, Chief." "I don't blame you for not believing me..." "I don't believe myself, sometimes." "Thanks again." "Say, Chief..." "Does that pass go for me, too?" "Sure!" "But I ought to throw you into the hoosegow on general principle." "General who?" "I never heard of it." "It's going to be a cold winter, old bo..." "Maybe you wish you was back at that hoosegow." "I can always get in, if I change my mind." "Where I'm going, there ain't no winter..." "No snow... no ice." "Nothing but palm trees and pineapples and beautiful girls singing love-songs." " This is it." " You looking for compartment 59?" "The train is starting." "Oh, sure." " We're moving." " Yeah." " Goodbye." " Don't say that!" "I'll be seeing you..." "You watch!" "If you ever get to a town on your travels... ..and 'Velma's Revue' is on the billboard you'll come back and say hello, won't you?" "Oh, sure!" "And Ruth, take care of that ankle..." "You don't want to get it broke again, you know." "Sure I will." "Gee, it's been swell, knowing you, Ruth." "You know what I want to say, only I..." "I can't seem to say it myself." "Sure, I do." "I'm only sorry I wasn't the gentleman I tried to make you think i was." "I lied to you." "You can't blame a guy for lying to a swell girl like you, can you?" "You ARE a gentleman, Chick." "I'll never forget you." "Me neither, Ruth." "Goodbye!" "Gentleman for a day." "Come on, let's get going." "Subtitles by FatPlank for KG"
