" I only got one" " We're in 17, all right?" " Oh, yeah." "You don't know where I am, but other people do." "Now why is that, Chucky?" "people are following me." "Why do they know, and you not know?" "Is it because you're stupid, Chucky?" "Are you stupid?" "I think that's what-- yes." "Now listen." "I got something to do for you, okay?" "Can you handle it?" "Can your brain" "Shh!" "Can your brain handle it?" "Okay, this is the message." "Very good." "You understand?" "Good." "Okay." "Chuck?" "Chuckie." "Chuck!" "Chuck!" "Chuckie!" "What is that?" "What did you do that for?" "Don't "Shh" me." "What?" "That's not very nice." "You think I'm some two-bit fIoozy?" "You can buy me presents and take me to some hotel?" "Not this girl." " What are you doing?" " Get yourself a poodle." " Where are you going?" " I'm gonna go sleep in the car." "Frank Sinatra, my... behind." "I do know Frank Sinatra, I don't know." "You know, I'II tell you."

"That's Giancana in the middle in the front," "RoseIIi over there on the right," "BIasi the other guy." "You know why we're here." "The government needs you." "My government needs me?" "I've been classified by the government as a constitutional psychopath, and now the government needs me." "I'II start with Castro." " You start with Castro." " We have." "We've got people inside Havana working for us." "A hell of a Iot of good that did you." "Like I said, that's why we're talking to you." "We can't get near him." "And?" "We're hoping you'II help us get rid of him." "Let me tell you something." "I know a guy-- a man, he's a friend of mine." "Let's call him "Fatty" for argument's sake." " La Fat." " La Fat, okay?" "He wants to set this motherfucking Cuban bastard's beard right on fire." "Do you know what he's done to us, to our friends?" "Do you know how much fucking money he cost us?" "That syphiIitic... fucking bastard!" "We owned that fucking island!" "He put our guys away after we got him guns, when him and those fucking cocksucking Communists were up in the mountains, where they should have fucking stayed!" "Don't worry, we still got people in Havana, right under Castro." "And I'm talking right under like she's almost fucking him every night." "His mistress?" "could she pull the trigger?" "No, no." "No guns, okay?" "None of that shit." "Get your voodoo guys to come up with poison, put it in his cigar or something like that, I don't know." "I think we're getting ahead of ourselves over here." "Why are we even talking to you, all right?" "What's in it for us?" "What do you want?" "We do you a favor, we want our casinos in Havana back, okay, that's number one." "Number two:" "No interference in the shrimp business." "But first of all," "I want your wiretapping geniuses to bug this fucking Dan Rowan." "Excuse me?" "Dan Rowan." "The comedian." "I want to know every goddamn move this whore master makes." "Sam." "really..." "Johnny, I'm in the middle of something here, okay?" "I'm not sure I understand." "You're asking the CIA to wiretap some comedian?" "Yeah, you do it all the time, only they're called politicians." "I have to get back to you on this." "You do that." " Need gas?" " Nuh-uh." "Is this where the bus stops on the way to Las Vegas?" "Be here in about an hour and 10 minutes." "Can I wait?" "Ain't much else to do." "Are you okay?" "Nice car." "Oh, phht." "Somebody gave it to me." "You mean like, gave it to you?" "What did you have to give back?" "I haven't given anything... yet." ""Yet!" That's a key word, all right." "I'm not even sure I Iike the guy." "Oh, well, shit, honey, that goes without saying." "Have a seat." "My husband was a louse, too." "I still miss the bastard." "After all, he gave me this." "Quite something, huh?" "I didn't know we had some dame fucking Castro." "Do we?" "You bastard, fuck!" "If they want to believe it, Iet 'em believe it." "It's their trap." "Let 'em fall into it." "Nobody here, huh?" "Sam, you want us to wait for you?" "Huh?" "Butch, what do you think?" "well, you give any girl a car like that, there ain't no way she's not gonna come back." " She'II be back." " She'II show up." " Hey, you Sam?" " That's right, that's my name." " I'm supposed to tell you something." " What?" "She says that there's no way she's gonna be your chauffer, and if you're gonna be mad at her you can have the damn car back, and she'II take a bus back to Vegas." "She's not gonna be my chauffeur?" " That's what she said." " Where is she?" "well, get in, I'II take you there." "Howdy." " pleased to meet you." " AII right." "Oh!" "Sam!" "No!" "Not another present!" "Amazing."

"Leave her out of this." "Now we're bringing them back, the three young women who have captured America's heart" "Christine, Dorothy and phyllis." "America's sweethearts, The McGuire Sisters!" "Right now with their reappearance!" "Hey, here we go." "My favorite guys." "I knew you were following me at palm Springs, you know that?" "What up?" " They're behind us." " Make a nice little turn over there." "Whoa whoa, they're on us, they're on us." "Hey, why don't we go through the car wash down there?" "Don't stop." "Don't stop." "PhyIIis is coming into town." "I can't take a fucking piss in peace!" "We'II make it happen, no problem." "How am I gonna see her?" "You're gonna rue the fucking day you started, okay?" " You'II rue the fucking day!"

"AII of a sudden now I got insurance companies," "I've got reporters crawling right up my ass." "Now I gotta go out and I gotta find some prick who's gonna take the heat." "I never gave the okay to do any second stories." "What is this shit?" "Fanning's been loading up fences from here to cleveland." "The shit he took out of those houses, and Moretti's helping him." "We're talking furs, Sam." "We're talking major jewels." " What kind of jewels?" " A bunch of diamonds-- big, yellow, expensive ones." "They're hard to find." "So where's our cut?" " They never forked it over." " Why didn't you bust those twats?" "Come on, Sam, we had a deal." "I don't bust anybody you're doing business with unless I talk it over with you first." "Last week nobody around here could find you." "You were out in some desert somewhere banging that dame." "Sam, I didn't mean it." "I didn't" "Get out of here." "Yeah." "Yeah, okay." "I saw Moretti in the garage a couple of minutes ago." "Make him go away." "And find Fanning too." "Hey." "Big Tuna." "Tony." "How you doing?" "I'm doing okay." "You came back, I see." "Yeah, I came back, what do you think?" "What do I think?" "I don't know, how do I know what to think?" "I'm retired." "You?" " No, Tony, I ain't retired, all right?" " Just checking." "You look like a fucking idiot." "She must be young." "Hah, yeah." " I hear she's gorgeous." " Yep, she is." " This one's a little different." " Of course she is." "She's famous, huh?" "What does that got to do with anything?" "well, famous dames, they get their names in the fucking newspapers." "Tends to bring down a shitload of heat, especially when they look like every FBI guy's idea of a virgin." "Or even worse, his own daughter." "I'II keep that in mind, all right?" "They're just here for the day." " Are you ready?" "Here we go." " Yeah." " Hi." " Sweetheart!" "Hi, sweetie." " How are you?" " Good to see you." " Hi." " This is Sam." " How do you do?" " Sam..." " Giancana." " Ah yes, you're the, uh" " How do you do?" " A pleasure." " Businessman, he's my businessman." " Yeah." "That's nice, a businessman." "I'm her biggest fan." "After you, of course." "well, I'm gonna scoot." " Bye." " Bye, have a good show." " Okay." " Bye, honey." " Don't listen to anything he says." " Heh-heh." "The girls have told me all about the flowers you sent." "They said they've never seen so many of them." "yellow roses, my my." "Eh, yellow's a great color." "I mean, not for people, but roses, "que bella."" "Or diamonds." "Except... don't let no one ever try to fence the pale ones off on you." "I mean, if you're looking for great jewelry," "I got an appetite for it myself, you let me know." "'Cause there ain't no one you can trust in that business." "They'II pick the gold right out of your teeth." "I see." "Uh, thank you." "Thank you." "Anyway, it was a pleasure to meet you," "Mr. McGuire, and Mrs. McGuire," " you have a lovely daughter." " Thank you." "I was a little nervous coming to meet you," "I bumped my head before I came in." "really, you have a fine, lovely daughter, and I'm going on too much, I'II see you later, bye bye." "Goodbye." "Check out these dames, huh?" "This is why you leave the wives at home, you understand what I'm saying?" "What's this?" " Hey." " Hey." "Bene, bene." "I didn't know you were a theater-goer." "Oh yeah, way back." " See you check out the new broad, huh?" " Yeah." " She has a real wide audience, huh?" " That's right." "Big hit with the FBI." "You be careful now, huh?" " Hey, Sam." "Nice to see you." " Hey, how you doing?" "I was gonna come see you guys, swear to God." "Matter of fact, I meant to phone Sam." "Yeah, I was gonna phone him." "See, just in case he heard about us heisting diamonds, and... well, not checking with him first." "Let me ask you something-- why didn't you phone Sam?" "I heard he was out of town." "So you knew Sam was out of town, right?" " Yeah." " Who was in town?" "I was gonna come see you guys." "I was in fucking town!" "You gotta wait for Sam to come back?" "What are we, fucking idiots?" "Are you shorting us?" "Now, you're looking down." "Look right in my fucking eyes, here, okay?" "Are you shorting us?" "No." "Okay, I'm gonna ask you one more time." "Are you shorting us?" "No." "Are you shorting us?" "!" "No!" "Why the fuck didn't you tell me... in the first place?" " You like baseball?" " Yeah, sure." "Let's play ball, okay?" "Thank you." " There's mustard on the side." " Thanks very much." "I bring the girls here all the time." "I've never been taken to meet anyone's daughters before." "It's no big deal." "Yes, it is." "Don't say that!" "They're your girls." "Are you a good father?" "Sometimes." "They miss Angie, though." "It's hard not having a mother." "Maybe one of those italian women would be better for you." "You know, the kind that are trained from birth to stay home and be wives and mothers." "You want another hotdog?" "So I guess you don't want to get married again, do you?" " What, what?" " So I guess you don't want to get married again, do you?" "Uh-oh." "I'II be right back." " Sam." " Over here." "One down, one to go." "This guy's head busted open like a cantaloupe, Sam." "I had him on the floor and I'm whack whack, going, "Where do you get balls big enough to fuck Sam Giancana?"" "I'm stomping his head, his eyeballs are coming out." "When you come back from head-crushing," "I don't want you anywhere around me, especially when I got company," " you understand?" " Sam, I'm sorry." "Jesus Christ, what are those bags doing" " out in plain sight?" " Oh, shit." "I'd Iike to open up your head and see what's inside of it." "Get the fuck in the car." "Get the fuck out of here."

"Are you gonna be here every night, too?" "No, she's not." "Hey." "Mind your manners." "I might be around a Iot, when I'm in town." "I hope that won't be a problem, Annette." "She's got nothing to say about it." " Sam." " You do what you want." "I don't care." "I've always liked the Andrews Sisters myself." "Is that so?" " She's sleeping in Mother's bedroom?" " She's sleeping in my room, and you got nothing to say about it." "Shh!" "Thank you." "It's not easy raising three girIs" " Oh, they're so sweet." " Down the hall, Ms. McGuire." " Okay." " With the mother not around." "They're good girls, though." "To your left." "...just have my girlfriends over let alone a boyfriend!" "Boyfriend?" "!" " You bring a boyfriend to this house" " Yeah?" "You don't bring no boyfriend." "I'm warning you for the Iast time." "Jimmy?" "Forget it, Jimmy, I got it." "Yeah?" "Look, Chuckie, this ain't a good time to talk." "Listen, we got the other package, you want us to trash it?" "It's garbage, get rid of it." "Yeah." " Any particular way?" " No way, no no no." "Just make sure people stand up and take notice how we get rid of garbage, okay?" "AII right." "Good." "Good, yeah." "Yeah, good." "Dumbhead motherfucker!" "I'm not finished with you, young lady." "Hey, uh, Fanning." "You know Sam wants you to have a fair chance and everything." " Sammy's my friend!" " Oh, yeah?" "Maybe that's why he said he's gonna give you a break." "You know if you can stay just like this with your feet up there like that for as long as Sammy said you could, we gotta let you go." "How long?" "How long?" "No, wait, how long?" "!" "How long did Sam say?" "A year." "A hundred bucks says the son of a bitch doesn't last five minutes." " Five minutes." " Five minutes. $100.00." " AII right, you're on." " Where's your money?" "Come on, come on." "could I borrow one of those?" "Oh, absolutely." "beautiful." "beautiful." "Do you know elvis?" "But I couId probably get you his autograph if you wanted it." "Naw, I want to meet him." "Me too." "well, I promise I'II try." "Wow!" " But don't tell Dad." " Why not?" "Because he thinks show business people are nuts." "He does?" "Yeah." "Like when Nette wanted to go to california he kept on saying it was filled with actors and singers, and every single one of them was a fruitcake." "Son of a bitch." "Fucking premature rigor mortis set in?" "AII right, Chuckie, I'II tell you what." "Want to win your money back?" "I'II give you double or nothing says he lasts another five minutes." "Five minutes?" "They're asleep." "You have your own barber chair and everything." "My barber comes to me, I don't go to him." " Like my house?" " Oh, yeah." "I Iike it a Iot." "Mmm!" "Come on."

"I would Iike to see that." "What about you?" "What do you want?" "What if I said you?" "21, 20, 19, 18, 17," "16, 15, 14" "Yes!" "Ha ha!" "You like that?" "Very good!" "You're quite a little dancer there." "well, thank you, SaIvatore." "I Iove that part." "Hey." "Nice, SaIvatore!" "Good." "Whoo!" "You guys are exceedingly beautiful." "PhyIIis."

"Six, seven, eight." "Do you know what my mother said about you?" "Mmm?" "She said, "He looks like he has really nice eyes behind those glasses."" "They really liked you." "They really did." " Don't kid yourself." " No, they really did." "They did." "What's with you and, uh... this..." "Dan Rowan character?" "What do you mean?" "You know what I mean." " No, I don't." " Yeah." "well, you better explain it real fast." " He phones you, right?" " So?" "So... he phones you, he was all over you in Vegas." "I'm not going to have you spying on me." "Wait, I'm talking." "I'm not spying on you." "Okay." " I'm asking you about this fuck of a" " And I'm telling you." "PhyIIis, you're telling me what?" "What are you telling me?" "I mean, I used to go out with him." " He's a friend, he's really..." " You went out with him?" "...a friend." "You went out with him?" "Can't you understand the concept of a man and a woman just being friends?" "No, explain it to me." " Oh, shut up." " I'm not gonna shut up." " Cut it out." " I'm not shutting up." " Okay?" " AII right." "You were the one who was whoring around, not me." "Wait a second, where are you going?" "Where are you going?" "Don't call me." " Fine." " Ever." "Goodbye." "AII right, who wants me first?" "PhyI, have we kissed and made up yet?" "Is everything all right, PhyI?" "Peach." "Just seemed a little tense in there." "Yeah?" "He's crazy about me, what can I say?" "He's a gangster, PhyIIis, and... if you keep hanging around with him... we might as well forget about the McGuire Sisters." "Meaning what?" "I mean, if this ever got out, we'd be finished." "PhyIIis." "PhyIIis." "PhyIIis." "I" " I'm sorry, PhyIIis." "I-I" " I tried to call you." "You can't just say whatever you want to people." "You can't just-- you" "I'm sorry." "Here." "I'm screwed." "I'm beyond screwed." "I'm in ScrewsviIIe!" "Jesus Christ." "AII right, look, all right?" "That's it, I've had it." "As far as I'm concerned, the fucking FBI has crossed the goddamn line!" "What are you talking about?" "What am I talking about?" "Look at this." "The "Tribune" for Christ's sakes." "They planted a story that says I'm shacked up with Lois in some fancy apartment up on the South Shore!" " Who's Lois?" " That's what my wife wants to know." "She's been screaming at me all day long about how all her friends are gonna find out." "I thought her head was gonna pop right off her fucking shoulders, you know what I'm saying?" "See, that's the problem with women." "What the hell has happened to this country when you can't trust the FBI?" "It never used to be like this, for Christ sakes!" "Look, Sam, I'm telling you, the fucking FBI is leaking stuff out to those reporters." "GondoIas." "We're gonna open a joint that looks like Venice, italy." " Where?" " Here." "It's gonna make Vegas look like nothing." "We're gonna have ourselves a floor show and gambling." "Frank will front it." "And we're gonna have gondoIas." "well, you said you wanted Venetian, didn't you?" "Come here." "Let me show you something." "Look at this." "I built this for you." "This is us." "It ain't done yet." " Sam!" " And over there you got swans." "Where the fuck are the swans?" "Swans?" "Live ones?" " For real?" " Live ones, dead ones, statues..." "Wha-- oh, no, these are ducks." "No no, ducks... there's swans." "Yeah, they're over there." "You see?" "They're gonna be all over here too." " Oh, Sam!" " And over here you got the casinos." " Oh!" " Casinos over here." "It's gonna be like Vegas and Venice all together." "And look." "Look at this statue." "I got this, $7,000.00." " florence." " Is it real?" " It better be real." " It's real water."

"There's a guy with a broken heart." "What are you gonna do if Frank calls you up from the audience and wants to sing a duet with you?" " Oh, tonight you mean?" " Yeah, tonight." "well, that's real sweet, Sam, but I'm not gonna be here." "What?" "I'm not, I'm flying to London." "Don't look at me like that." "I never said I was gonna quit singing, okay?" "And it's a command performance." "You're gonna go to London?" "Yeah?" "Pete's sake, Sam, it's only the royal family, all right?" "What are you talking about, PhyIIis?" "What do you mean?" "I just told you." "I have to go" "What are you talking about, huh?" "You know, you tell me you wanted Venice," "I built Venice." "You know that I fucked around with the river out here, to make it more like Venice?" "Look at me when I'm talking to you." "I'm talking a major investment in romantic shit here!" "This is not Venice, Sam." "These are the suburbs of Chicago, right?" "That's right." "We're in America, that's right." " I'm an American, right." " Good for you." "And I'm fucking proud of it." "You knew all along" " that you were gonna go to London!" " So?" " What do you mean, "So?"" " I didn't realize" " I had to clear things with you" " So why didn't you tell me?" "!" "So next time I'II know." "Don't yell at me!" "You can save me the fucking trouble!" "You just walk away like that, huh?" "I will." "I'm walking." "Go to London and starve, okay?" "AII it does is rain there anyway all day." "You know, talking to you" " is like talking to a rock." " Don't come back!" "Don't come back and tell me, "Sam I want to go here," "I want to go there." "I want to go to fucking Egypt,"" "'cause I ain't gonna build no fucking pyramids for you!" "What are you looking at?" "Get in the boat!" "Get in the boat and sing!" "Get out of here!" "You wanted Venice, I built Venice." "Three pages of transcripts of this stuff." "Biggest mob boss since AI Capone, and he can't control his girlfriend?" "...to make it more like Venice?" "They think this is bad now, wait 'till Hoover makes his move." "I'm talking a major investment in romantic shit here!" "This is not Venice, Sam." "These are the suburbs of Chi" "Sam's in trouble." " Washington, again." " Again." "What are you doing here?" "Is that supposed to make it up to me?" "You make me so mad sometimes." "Excuse me." "It's number 30." "hello." "Can we get a shot, ladies?" "One more." "Here we are, smile." "Quite lovely!" "One more, here we go!" "Get out of here." "Get the fuck out." "Thank you very much." "Bye-bye now." "I don't know what's with you guys." "It's just a picture." "Sam's not Iike the rest of us." "That's why he is where he is." "Yeah, on front page of the goddamn newspapers!" "Ech..." "rule #1 :" "Stay out of the papers!" " Tony, relax." " You don't leave yourself a target for every prosecutor that wants to make his bones!" "You're not gonna change him, Tony." " I've known the guy since we were kids." " He's a fucking idiot!" "Everybody in this fucking room owes him a Iot!" "You understand that?" "Ech!" "Shit!" "Hey, PhyIIis, what's going on in there?" "I'm gonna marry you." "What is this?" "Are you asking?" "Uh-huh." "Eh?" "Say, "PhyIIis, will you marry me?"" "PhyIIis... will you marry me?" "You don't have to answer." "Who says I don't want to answer?" "If you have a problem with what I do," "I understand." "You're a businessman." "Right?" "Right." "I'm a businessman." " Don't answer it." " What if it's" "Shh." "hello." "Yeah, just a sec." "It's Chuckie." "Hey, Chuck, what's up?" "Yeah, uh, moony, I been trying to track you down all day." "Listen, we got trouble over here, okay?" "Yeah, right, I'm in the middle of something." "That's right." "What's up?" " The U.S. marshal's after you." " Big deal, they always are." "well, this time they're coming with the fucking subpoenas." " For what?" " For the grand jury." "They're after you and they're after-- what's her name?" "PhyIIis." "I got Libby over here." "hold on." "PhyIIis, could you get me something to drink?" " Yes, Master." " please." "Yeah." " What's with PhyIIis?" " You tell me, Sam, okay?" "Jesus Christ, put Libonati on." "He wants to talk to you." "Hi, Louie, yeah, how you doing?" "Great, great." "Everything's great." "Thank you." "Thank you." "No, I'm not talking to you, I'm taIking-- somebody else is here." "Yeah." "A hell of a Iot better time than you're gonna have if you don't straighten this out." "What the fuck do you think I made you a congressman for?" "Sam, I got no control over grand juries." "well, get control." "Get off your fat ass and find out who's gotta be fed." " Sam, Sam..." " What?" "What?" " I'II try." " Don't try." "Just do it." "I want this thing stopped." "Do whatever it takes, you understand?" "Yeah." "Right." "PhyIIis." "The grand jury in Chicago... they're gonna subpoena you." "What does a grand jury want to talk to me for, Sam?" "Ms. McGuire." "please..." "Why are you here?" "please give us a statement." "Just take a moment." "We want to know why you're here." "What are you gonna tell them?" "How's Sam, PhyIIis?" "Ms. McGuire, please." " hold it right there." " That's enough." " Back up." " Back it up." "Yeah." "What's happening?" "She's inside." "Yep." "She's in the grand jury already." "Sam." "Sam." " What?" " What if she talks?" "What the hell is she gonna talk about?" "!" "You fucking idiot!" "That's why you're better off if you don't need anybody." "Come on, Iet's go." "Ms. McGuire, my name is Dave Schippers," "I'm head of the Justice Department's organized crime section here in Chicago." "I'd Iike to ask you a few questions today." " Look." "Sam, look, I'm sorry, okay?" " Sorry?" "I don't mean..." " that she would talk deliberately." " Right." "I'm talking like, she would say something by mistake." "Not deliberately." " Get in the car." " We're talking" " about the freaking grand jury" " Get in the car." "And the fucking grand jury is secret." "I mean she could blab something by accident." "She wouldn't mean anything by it, but then we'd all be fucked." "Open the door." " What?" " Now you're not coming." "Open the door." "Open the fucking door!" "Open up the-- get the fuck out!" "Get out!" "Come on." "Get out, you fucking idiot!" "Get the fuck out!" "She could make a fucking mistake!" "I didn't say she was gonna break!" "You are a member of the famous McGuire Sisters singing team, are you not?" " Yes." " Do you know a man named Butch BIasi?" "Yes." "Do you know a man named Tony Accardo?" "I've met him socially, a couple of times." "Do you know a man named Sam Giancana?" "Yes." "How well do you know Mr. Giancana?" "We're friends." "I see." "Now tell me, Ms. McGuire... is it true that in June of 1961 you rented a home-- actually a ranch called Green GabIes-- in a place near Las Vegas known as Paradise valley?" "Yes." "Mr. Giancana, was he ever there?" "He visited me there a couple of times." "He visited?" "Yes." "I see." "tell me, Ms. McGuire, I have here FBI surveillance reports that indicate that on the afternoon of May 23rd of last year, you were sitting on a chaise lounge in the back yard when Mr. Giancana sprinkled you with water from the garden hose." "You had people looking in my back yard?" "It also says here that, uh, you were nude at the time." "Do you recall that to be the case?" "Because if that was the case, Ms. McGuire, it definitely suggests that you and Mr. Giancana are more than just very good friends, doesn't it?" " Hey!" "Hey!" " We want to talk to you, wait a minute!" "Get your hands off me!" "Jesus Christ!" " Where's PhyIIis?" " She's in there testifying." " How long has she been in there?" " About an hour and a half." "What the hell she gotta say for an hour and a half?" "!" "That's what I was wondering." "usually you go in there, you sit down, you take the Fifth, bang, you're out in 10 minutes." " Where's Chuckie?" " He fell out." "Let's go." "Mr. Giancana!" "Sir!" "Butch, Butch!" "Come here!" "Sam, hey, Sam!" "Hey, Sam, why are you here?" "Your phone bill, Ms. McGuire." "If this was your telephone credit card number, then what were you doing calling EucIid 6-0681 in Chicago from palm Springs a total of eight times?" "I don't know." "That's the home phone number of Mr. Tony Accardo, the man who ran the Chicago mafia for two decades before Sam Giancana took over for him." "Are you in the habit, Ms. McGuire, of phoning people like Mr. Accardo?" "I need an answer, Ms. McGuire." "No." "No." "I Iove you." "Ms. McGuire!" "Ms. McGuire, you don't have to go through them." "There is a back way out." "Oh, you know..." "I'II just be one" "will you state your name, please, sir?" "Sam Giancana." "And where do you live?" "I refuse to answer on the grounds that it might tend to incriminate me." "Mr. Foreman, will you please recess the grand jury to the court room of Chief Judge campbell up on the 25th floor, and direct Mr. Giancana to appear there forthwith." "The grand jury will immediately recess to Judge campbell's court." "Mr. Giancana, you will also appear there forthwith." "What is this?" "I got called for a grand jury, not a courtroom." "I know, relax, I'II find out what the hell's going on." "Mr. Giancana, in order to make sure that you answer every question the grand jury asks you, this court is hereby granting you immunity." " You understand what this means?" " really?" "No, I don't." "It means you cannot be prosecuted for anything you've ever done in your life." "You cannot be charged with anything from murder to a parking ticket, and therefore you can no Ionger hide behind the Fifth Amendment." "You have to answer every question asked by the grand jury." "What are they talking about?" "Your Honor, in my 30-some-odd years as an attorney," "I don't ever recall hearing about this kind of immunity." "That's correct, Mr. Wadden." "This appears to be a precedent." " You're Bobby's boy, ain't you?" " That's very astute, Sam." "Mr. Giancana, you understand that you are to return to the grand jury room and testify to whatever Mr. Schippers asks you" " for as long as the grand jury wishes." " Ha ha!" "I'm taking the Fifth." "AII right, Mr. Giancana I'm holding you in contempt of court." "I refuse to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate" "Just a minute!" "I'm holding you in contempt of court, and because this is" " neither appealable or" " For what?" " I was called for a grand jury." " Mr. Giancana that's enough!" "I'm holding you in contempt of court, and because this is neither appealable nor a bondable offense," "I hereby immediately remand you to Cook County jail where you shall be imprisoned, and you will stay there for as long as it takes for you to obey this court and return to testify before the grand jury." "A month, a year-- it doesn't matter, it's up to you." " marshals, you may take the prisoner." " Prisoner?" "I'm a prisoner?" "For what?" " What, do you call this justice?" " That will do!" " Order!" " You're fucking fired, okay?" "Thank you, Mr. Giancana, that's enough!" "You ain't seen the Iast of me, either!" "What did you tell the grand jury?" "Oh, I'm sure I'm not allowed to talk about that." "will this affect your professional work, being called before a grand jury?" " Oh, I certainly hope not." " You want to continue with your trio," " don't you?" " Oh, very much so." "Does this mean you're through with Sam Giancana?" "No comment." "I think that's enough questions now, gentlemen." " No wait, one more question." " Thank you." "What have your sisters had to say?" "Let's go." "Oh my God." "Sit down." "Butch brought me your last album." " Oh yeah?" " I just listened to it." "well, you're one of the few." "Yeah, well, show biz." "You're up, you're down." "It's like everybody else." "You'II get back up." "When I get... out of here," "I'm gonna have to go to Mexico." "I, uh, have to leave the country." "Otherwise, it's gonna be back in here with this grand jury business." "It's good to see you again." "I brought you something." "Um..." "You remember how... you, um, you lost that... diamond tie pin?" "You never had another one made." "I had 'em make it from one of the jewels." "It's a marquis cut." "I don't have a tie to wear." "I mean, for when you do have one." "Yeah." "It's great." "Thank you." "I can't stay long." "What are you talking about?" "You just got here." "I know, I have to meet somebody, and we're in town for a couple of days, though, so" "Who do you have to meet?" " A friend." " Who?" "Sam, don't." "Not now." "I'II come back." "PhyIIis." "Don't go, not yet." "Stay-- stay for a little bit." "He got deported." "They're throwing him in some Mexican jail." "Things were going great." "Tony, they were going real great." "The FBI probably got some Mexican government guy to..." " I don't think he's gonna be a problem." " No?" "No." "Okay, so, he's gotta go to..." "Washington for this stupid..." "Senate testimony thing." "Christ, can you imagine them bringing him up there again?" "No." "No, I can't." "I don't think he's gonna be a problem." "I mean, what the hell is there to say after all these years, right?" "I mean... he's not gonna go back to-- to PhyIIis." "Oh, I don't want to hear about that broad." "It's not gonna be like last time, right?" "No." "Listen to me, Butch." "It ain't gonna be like last time." "You know that, don't you?" "Yeah yeah, I know." "Don't you?" "Yeah." "will passenger Mr. J. NeaI, arriving on Pan Am flight 315 from Mexico City please report to the O'Hare Security Office." "Passenger J. NeaI please report to O'Hare Security Office." "Damn." "I need something to hold up my pants." "You know I got ordered to testify again?" "Senate hearings this time." " You realize that?" " Mm-hmm." "U.S. fucking Senate." "You know, PhyIIis... never saw me testify against Bobby Kennedy." "She'II be watching this one, though." "Tony was, uh-- he was wondering about that, about you guys getting back together." "Me and phyllis back together." "Oh, we'II always be together." "You could tell Tony that, and he can't do one fucking thing about it." "She's my girl!" "And she'II always be my girl!" "AII right." "My girl." "She's your girl, Sammy." "You want some more wine?"
