"Bring Crane in." "─ Yes, sir." "Wait a minute." "I thought I told you to put Crane in a cell with Sonny Black." "Why Crane is a first offender, sir." "Black won't do him any good." "You carry out my orders, Captain." "I'll take the responsibility." "Yes, sir." "Come on!" "Leave me alone, will you." "I got in this joint without any help." "And I'll get out the same way." "Crane." "You were convicted of a hold-up." "─ Sure." "I stuck up a beer-joint and got twelve bucks." "Now I'm buried alive for ten years." "Ten years off my life for twelve dirty bucks." "Is that fair?" "Yes." "If your gun hadn't jammed, you'd have killed a man for twelve dirty bucks." "Was that fair?" "I don't know what started you wrong." "It isn't always a man's fault." "But you won't be buried in here." "You'll be taught a trade." "If you like you can go to school." "Ah, don't give me any of that soft-mouthed slop!" "You'll give me the works in here." "That's how you hold your job." "Take him back." "Right, you got me now but I'll get out of here." "I'll break this joint apart." "And when I start, look out." "Next time my gun won't jam." "Let go of me!" "I won't live in dump like this!" "You'll take it easy with me if you know what's good for you." "I got friends outside." "─ Get in there." "You see that?" "This place can't hold me." "It can't, eh?" "2,000 guys here think the same thing, but they're still here." "Think that over." "─ And keep your big mouth shut." "You ain't got enough screws in this joint to keep my mouth shut." "Dirty, yellow rats." "Shoving me around." "I'll show them." "Hey, wake up." "Get out of that bunk." "Upstairs for you." "I'll take the lower." "Get up!" "That's it." "Do what you're told and you won't have no trouble." "And if you want trouble." "Just talk back." "Alright, John." "─ Okay, Mr Simpson." "Who is that, Mose?" "─ That's the prison board." "Oh." "Boo!" "─ Boo, boo." "Boo .. boo .." "Boo .. boo .. boo." "Boo .. boo .. boo." "Hello, Mr Simpson." "Is that booing for our benefit?" "What do you expect, cheering?" "Brandt." "Send them in the mess." "─ Yes, sir." "What's the matter, big-shot?" "Don't you like the garbage?" "I love it." "─ Yeah?" "It's stinking slop." "I won't eat it." "─ Shut up." "The screws will spot you." "Yeah?" "What do I care?" "I can't eat slime like this and I ain't afraid to say so." "Is anybody with me?" "We won't eat this!" "Will we?" "No!" "Shut up!" "Stop it!" "What's the matter with you guys?" "Afraid?" "Hey you!" "Sonny Black, big-shot." "Have you got guts enough to tell the board they give us dirty rotten garbage?" "No, you haven't!" "A loudmouth, am I?" "Sure, I am." "Hey you Warden and you, members of the prison board." "This food ain't fit for pigs." "It ain't food." "It's filth!" "Here's what I think of it." "Muck!" "Slop!" "Swill!" "Get that man out of here." "Get him out!" "That's right." "Hide behind your guns you dirty rotten politicians." "I don't care what you do with me." "I won't eat that muck." "I tell you, I won't eat it!" "Sorry to have kept you waiting." "Sit down, Arthur." "Sit down." "That's what I get for trying to get them the best prison food in the country." "The best?" "I'd give them the worst." "Bread and beans." "Once a day." "You think I'm too soft, eh?" "No, but you let them off scott-free, except one man." "And you probably gave him some dirty job and no privileges." "I think I can handle this." "That one man in a few months can destroy all my work." "I try to make these men feel I'm on their side." "But he's not going to destroy it." "I'll break him." "He's on his way to the dungeon now, where he'll get bread and water." "No light, and little air." "That will teach him." "How long is he in for?" "Twenty-one days." "Down there a man can't live .. much longer." "Cover your eyes." "Grab his feet." "Take your hands off me." "I can walk." "Well, loudmouth?" "Maybe you have got some guts." "You got to have to get by." "You've got so little brains." "You know what you did when you made that speech in the mess-hall?" "That will cost you two years good conduct." "Oh no it won't." "I'm going to crack out of this college." "That's all you can think of down in that hole." "Twenty-one days and all of them night." "They'll never do that to me again." "There's only one thing that keeps me in here." "Guns." "And that's how I'll get out." "With guns." "Where do you get the guns, Crane?" "I got a friend outside." "Yeah?" "You know that truck that comes through the gates from the outside?" "Everybody outside to unload." "What's the matter with you?" "Brakes went haywire." "Have one of the boys unload it will you, while I crawl under and fix them." "Line up." "Unload!" "What's the matter?" "Ain't you got room?" "What about you?" "Break it up." "Break it up." "Don't stand there." "Pick them up." "What were you trying to do?" "Break my leg?" "What are you two doing away from work?" "─ Take us to the Warden's office." "If anybody stops us, tell them the Warden sent for us." "Walk fast and stay between us." "One wrong move and I'll blow your heart out." "Hi Mac, where you going?" "─ The Warden sent for them." "Hello, Mac." "─ Hello, Joe." "Open up." "The Warden sent for them." "Shut that door." "Get over there, you." "Stick 'em up!" "─ Get up!" "Get over in that corner." "Crane .." "Black." "Put down those guns." "You'll never get away with this." "You two, get over there." "Take off those clothes." "We're changing." "You three men are going down into the car with us." "Tell the driver to go out through the gates just like always." "Don't pull any tricks." "Come on .. get off those clothes." "Open it." "Turn around, Edwards." "And don't make a sound." "We'll driver out, just as usual." "You better make it, Edwards." "─ Yeah .. okay." "Alright, guard." "Okay, Mr Simpson." "Guards!" "Help!" "Help!" "Untie them." "[ Siren sounds ]" "Step on it!" "Stop that car!" "Don't fire at the men in that car." "You might kill one of the prison board." "Yes, sir." "I'll try to get a tire or the gas-tank." "Is it bad?" "Stop talking and drive." "Hello, Mr Duff." "How are you, Crane?" "You're overdue." "I've been here every night since the break." "I was beginning to figure you were the one wounded." "Oh don't worry about me." "I'm bullet proof." "Black got it." "─ Where is he?" "A flop joint on the north side." "1721 Brady Street." "Owned by a released convict, Mose Jones, a negro." "Is the gang with him?" "─ Nobody's with him." "He's badly wounded." "Maybe dying." "Needs money." "Hasn't friends or connections." "Do you think we .." "─ I think he's the wrong guy?" "Yeah." "─ No." "You think we would send you into prison to gain his confidence .." "And help him get out if he weren't one of the Purple Gang?" "Do you think we'd turn him loose .." "If we hadn't tried every trick in the book to run the mob down and failed?" "He's the only one of them ever taken alive." "And he'll lead you to the rest if you have to stay with him for a year." "Yes, sir." "He says he knows a doctor somewhere if I can get a car." "Great." "That's our first lead." "We've got to have a doctor near their headquarters." "Oh .. help yourself." "Thanks." "Peters?" "Change the license plate on the black Buick." "Dirty it up a little." "Take it up to Brady Street in the drive." "Leave the keys in it." "Right now." "Here is some money." "─ Oh thanks." "When I get to where we're going I'll send a wire addressed to Mary Duffy." "Usual address and code." "I'll be there in 24 hours with a dozen men." "And you'd better get going." "And don't take any chances with that wound." "He's no good to us dead." "─ Yes, sir." "Brought you the man, man." "Thanks, jig-a-boo." "And I thought you might like to see the evening paper." "Lookee here what they're saying about you." ""Fugitive thought dying."" ""Could not survive blood loss says doctor."" "Yeah?" "Pour me another shot." "─ Yes, sir." ""Five thousand dollar reward."" ""Offered for information leading to convict's capture."" "I've got an expensive pair of boarders." "Five thousand dollars." "That's mighty pretty pickings for somebody, Mr Sonny." "Shakedown?" "Oh no, sir." "No sir, Mr Sonny." "I'd never do that to you." "I'd never turn nobody back to that jail." "Mr Sonny." "Are you crazy?" "Ain't we in enough trouble?" "I didn't trust him." "He was going to squeal." "There's too big a reward for us." "Come on." "I got a car." "Hello, boss." "─ Hello, Sam." "Do you see, Jeff." "I live here." "A respected citizen." "Eh, Sam?" "─ Yes, sir." "Ha ha." "Never mind that." "Get him some hot soup and a little whiskey." "Yes, sir." "Good work." "No bleeding since yesterday." "You'll pull through alright." "─ Sure I will." "Get me that phone." "Dial 697." "Hello?" "─ "Get me Doc Glass"." "He says no talk to anybody." "He says maybe die." "Well, get him out of bed." "Sorry, doctor not home." "She hung up on me." "Never mind .. you'll have to go and look for him." "Doctor Josiah Glass, King Street." "Get a shave and some clothes from that closet." "A letter for you." "Been here a couple of weeks." "Pour me a shot." "─ Yes, sir." "Say, not bad." "I hate to leave you here with nobody but Sam." "He's alright." "Get going." "But haven't you anybody around here?" "Friends I mean, you can trust?" "I'd like to tell them about that bandage in case you start bleeding." "There is nobody around here but me." "And if you want to stay around, don't start asking questions." "I'll be seeing you." "Hello?" "When did you get back?" "─ Tonight." "Get the boys and bring them over." "I got a job for them." "Why certainly, Mr McGillray, I'll attend to that right away." "Mr Sullivan." "─ Yes, sir." "I'll have the waiter take care of you folk." "I'm pulling out." "Will you pardon me?" "─ Right this way, please." "I wonder if I could borrow the boys from you for a minute?" "Yes, you can have them for a week." "How you doing, Brian?" "Hey, where are you going?" "─ Shut up." "Get your coats and hats." "Hey, where we going?" "─ What's the idea?" "Sonny is back." "Let's go." "─ Oh right, how is he?" "Don't know." "Haven't heard from the guy." "We'll find out soon enough." "Hello, Sonny." "Gee, I hate to see you down like this." "Hello Sonny." "Looks like you got a rough deal." "Hello, boys." "How big is that hole?" "─ Big enough." "But I'll be okay." "Crane has gone for the doctor." "Hey, who is this guy Crane?" "Is he okay?" "What's his racket, Sonny?" "He was just doing a stretch for a stick-up." "He asks too many questions and he's got a loud mouth." "But he's alright." "I'll get him into shape." "Right now I got a job for you boys." "─ Yeah?" "Now, here's the idea." "We were almost picked up last night." "And they know which way we were heading." "Now, we got to give them something else to think about." "You guys get in the cars and hop to Racine." "Crack the Farmer's First National." "Make plenty of mess, then .." "Head south." "They'll put every dick in the state on your trail." "Now get going." "You'll just about make it by morning." "─ Okay." "See you later, Sonny." "So long." "And take care of yourself." "Rufe." "─ Yeah?" "I forgot to tell the boys." "They did a great job when I was in stir." "Everyone that came in told us about some new job of the Purple Gang." "We got you promoted." "You're practically Public Enemy Number One now." "They had you in stir all the time and they didn't know it." "Public Enemy Number One." "Come on, get going." "Hey!" "Hold your horses." "The bus is busted." "I can't help it." "I'm in a hurry." "You're in such a hurry you've landed into a ditch." "The least you can do is stop and help us out." "Can't do it." "Get off the car." "Nice talk." "I've never walked home yet and I don't intend to begin now." "Hey, wait a minute." "Come back here with that key." "Come back here!" "The gentleman has kindly consented to drive us back to town." "Give me that key." "How about it, buddy?" "You shoved us into the ditch." "Yeah." "Can't you drive?" "Give us any more argument, we'll take your jalopy and leave you in the mud." "Alright." "Come on." "You ought to get a bigger car." "It's awfully crowded." "Na." "I like it." "The crowd likes it." "I'd let you sit in my lap but my boyfriend would object." "I don't see what you've got to be sore about." "You get where you're going." "We're the ones out of luck." "Yeah?" "Are you coming back this way tonight by any chance?" "I said, are you coming back this way tonight?" "Yes." "Oh." "Would you mind taking me with you?" "I'm only going a couple of miles past where the bus folded." "I don't want to spend the night in that junky hotel." "I can't do it." "─ Why not?" "Say, if it hadn't been for you, I'd be in a nice, warm house by now." "Look, I won't get in your way, honest." "I'll sit in the back seat." "I'll even shut up." "How about it." "Will you take me?" "─ No." "Ha." "I wish I had a Buick." "I wish I had a short length of pipe." "Ah!" "Flirt." "I thought you had a grin in your system somewhere." "Come on, give it to me again." "That's right." "Now that we're all friends, how about a ride back out tonight?" "Do I get it?" "No!" "What's the matter?" "What's the trouble?" "What ..?" "Thanks very much for the ride to say nothing of your courteous conversation." "Go on." "Run in out of the rain." "Hey, look." "It occurred to me that you may be going back out there again tonight." "I am, too." "Would you give me a lift?" "─ No!" "Where is Dr Glass?" "─ The doctor is .." "He's sick isn't he?" "Won't see anybody?" "─ Yes, sir. ─ That's great." "But listen, mister." "Listen, I tell you." "Hey, wake up you." "Come on." "Get out of that bed." "Come on, get up here." "Get his hat and coat." "Hey, where am I going?" "To Sonny Black's." "To dig a bullet out of him." "Sonny?" "Who are you?" "─ Crane." "We tried to get you by phone but the maid hung up." "Oh." "She's a wonderful woman, Crane." "She takes orders." "I may marry her." "Say, you don't happen to have twenty bucks on you?" "What for?" "My surgical instruments." "They're at the hotel bar." "In hock?" "Oh no, no Mr Crane." "As collateral." "You see, I leave my kit at the bar and then run up a bill." "And if anyone wants an operation .." "Why, the drinks are on him." "Boy oh boy, what a night." "A rainstorm." "Roads washed out." "It seems like half the town is roosting in this hotel." "Boy oh boy." "Hello." "What nice friends you have." "She's a beautiful woman." "Wait a minute." "I may marry her." "─ Come on." "You're busy." "Come on." "McManus .. my cleavers." "Hello, Doc." "Here's your twenty dollars." "─ Are you the victim?" "─ No." "I am going out into the storm to answer the cry of suffering and distress." "McManus, it's on nights like this I realize the nobility of my profession." "I serve humanity and you serve drinks." "You may serve me a drink, McManus." "On the house." "You may not." "You might as well." "You won't get back on that road tonight." "Am I right?" "He just washed in." "Creek overflow at the San Swale bridge." "Well, we've got to get through." "─ I am on the case" "And two bottles to go." "You better wait until it stops raining." "The bridge is under three feet of water." "Water." "Water ruins everything." "Now if that bridge was under three feet of whiskey .." "Have a drink." "─ No, you don't." "The storm will be over by morning." "You're going upstairs and to bed." "Oh, have a heart." "Come on, Doc." "─ Wait a minute .." "Have a drink?" "I'll have a drink." "Say, couldn't I have just one little one to help to put me to sleep?" "No." "Jump in." "Say, I forgot to say my prayers." "Yeah?" "Well say them in bed." "And while you're at it, pray for Sonny to hang on until we get there." "Don't think about what it costs." "I'll just charge it to my expense account." "Ah .. but that's not honest." "Why, I simply .." "─ Now, not another word." "If you trifle with your firm's honor, you trifle with mine." "Oh but little lady, I'm not dishonest." "If you go to dinner with me, I'll prove it." "I'll let you pay for it yourself." "I'm sorry but this gentleman asked me to dinner." "Say you did." "Don't be a heel all your life." "What are you annoying this young lady?" "Why nothing, I just .." "─ Yes, and cheating on your expenses." "What?" "─ Well .." "I beg your pardon, I guess I'm not hungry." "Okay, so I knew you had a kind heart somewhere." "Don't mention it." "─ I will." "Uh, this man has got a kind heart." "Oh see that man over there." "He's got a kind heart." "What?" "─ I say that .." "Oh .." "I say that man over there has got a kind heart." "Will you shut up." "─ Will you take me to dinner?" "No." "I was wrong." "He hasn't got a kind heart." "No." "He's a sensationally nasty man." "In the wintertime when it snows .." "He makes his poor little old mother drag him uphill on his sled." "You know, I think that man's been drinking." "You've got a swell laugh." "Why don't you use it more?" "Well, I don't get a chance to." "They don't come so goofy as you very often." "Can I have this dance?" "Oh no." "It's his." "We're sitting it out." "He's not very strong." "Well you've been doing that all evening." "─ Well, what about it?" "Nothing." "Say, what's all this hard-guy boy?" "Who are you fooling?" "─ Him, for one." "Look, the rain will be over soon and those roads will be open." "This is practically the end of a beautiful friendship." "Let's forget I was hard-boiled and you were an awful nuisance." "I was not." "It hasn't been a beautiful friendship." "It's been awful." "And this isn't the end of it." "The storm is over." "The trains leave in ten minutes." "And the roads are clear." "Well, I have to be going." "Fine, I'll get my things, while you dig out the doctor." "I can't take you." "I'm sorry." "─ Well, you can't get rid of me." "Come on, give in will you?" "Your dance." "Bless you, my children." "I'll bet you sleep with both arms around the pillow." "Why's this door open?" "Where's he gone?" "He rang for ice-water." "When I unlocked the door, he blew." "Drunken ape." "Thanks very much." "Hey, McManus." "Trade me a bottle of whiskey for this, will you." "I'm being followed." "Sure." "Hey!" "Stop her!" "Come on, Doc." "You're going upstairs to get some clothes on." "I don't want to." "I've left my bag down here." "Well, don't you want this?" "─ Oh yes, thanks." "Thanks?" "Is that all you've got to say?" "No." "You were a great kid and we had a lot of laughs." "Goodbye." "Goodbye?" "Am I going to see you again?" "─ No .. third floor." "Say, what does a girl have to do for a ride in your Buick?" "You'd better step on it." "There is another storm coming." "San Swale bridge." "If we get by this, we're clear." "Hey, what about me?" "I can't open the door." "Hey, I'm going to that house." "I thought I told you couldn't come." "I said you couldn't get rid of me." "Thanks for saving my life." "My hero." "You look just lovely." "You know .. you remind me of my husband in that nightshirt." "He wore it on our honeymoon." "That's funny." "Where is that jug of applejack?" "I put it down right there." "That was a great mistake." "A bathroom drinker, huh?" "Did he drink all that?" "Land sakes." "It seems more like my honeymoon than ever." "That's a divine dress you're wearing." "That's a new way of doing your hair too, isn't it." "Come here." "I bet when you saw me in that automobile practically at death's door .." "You were sorry for all the nasty things you said to me." "I was not." "Hey." "I gave you a marvelous chance to get rid of me." "You've grabbed me like a seal grabs fish." "There." "I'm terribly grateful to you." "You don't even know my name, and .." "From what you tell me, I get in your hair." "But you saved my life and I'm for you." "Alright." "What's your name?" "Maria Theresa O'Reilly." "Cook me some, too." "That's my name and I've had enough trouble with it from wiseguys." "My father was Irish, and my mother Italian and it's not my fault." "Now, what were we saying?" "What's your name?" "No, we're past that." "What's yours?" "─ Jeff." "Well, that's a pretty long name." "Kind of formal." "How would it be if I just called you "Jeff"?" "No." "Make it "Mr Jeff"." "That's what the boys all call me." "Is there a Mrs Jeff?" "No." "And do you like children?" "Oh I love them." "You see, I'm just a great big kid myself." "Where do you live?" "─ Over a pet shop." "But don't let it worry you." "If you don't want to see me, I'm never home." "Well I'd like to, but I can't for a while." "And I'm not to ask why." "No." "Why?" "Because when I get around to it, I'm going to see a lot of you." "If I started it now, you might get tired of me by that time." "That doesn't make sense." "Besides, the demand is awfully big for me." "I might get tied up." "To him, for instance?" "No." "Not to him." "How do you happen to have his picture?" "Why, do you know him?" "No." "No, but he .." "Doesn't look your type." "He's a foreigner, isn't he?" "He is my brother." "Oh he was born before the family moved to this country." "As kids, he used to beat the pants off me as I spoke better English than him." "Is he in business around here?" "Don't ask me." "I haven't had a letter from him for years." "An uncle of ours died last month and left him a farm." "And I sent some papers for him to sign and he still has them." "Oh." "And that's the only reason you came out here?" "Well, he's the only family I've got." "I just wanted to see him." "Say, what is this?" "Can't a girl visit her brother without filling out a questionnaire?" "Sonny, isn't it?" "Oh, I get the connection now." "You're Sonny's girl." "Sonny?" "What's the matter?" "Didn't he even given you the right name?" "Why, I'll marry you." "Keep your drunken mouth shut." "What's the matter?" "I haven't said anything." "I'd better not chisel in on Sonny's girl." "Don't pay any attention to him." "He's drunk." "He doesn't know what he's saying." "That's why you told him to keep his mouth shut." "You're Jeff Crane." "Wanted by the Police for a jailbreak." "My brother." "Ain't that something?" "Is he badly hurt?" "─ He's plenty sick." "But he's plenty tough." "If he's come this far, he'll go the distance." "So, what are we standing around here for?" "Wait a minute." "You can't get mixed up in this." "Why?" "Because my brother is a crook and a fugitive?" "Because when they catch up with him, somebody will get killed?" "I should sneak back to New York .." "And leave him stranded in these hills with a bad case of bullet holes." "If that's what you think, you're all cockeyed." "But he don't want you around." "I wouldn't say this but to keep you of that house." "He told me about you." "He doesn't want any part of you." "Yes, he used to say that when we were kids, but .." "I didn't believe him." "He couldn't get rid of me even if .." "How about it, Doc?" "Well, he's got a chance." "If he gets a transfusion." "And gets it quick." "He's got to have some blood." "Have you ever had anything the matter with you?" "You might give him into the bargain." "No." "No." "I'll get your gear ready." "You understand we're taking a chance with this thing?" "No matter how good your blood is." "If it's the wrong type .. he's through." "Isn't there any way you can make a test?" "Not with what I got." "We haven't got time anyhow." "Open up my bag and get my instruments out." "And put some water on to boil." "Bring me my rubber gloves in there." "Bring that couch over by the bed, will you." "Sam." "We're alright." "The .. new blood is .." "Going to bring him to, pretty soon." "You'd better get in there." "Nice going." "I'll bet you were a fine doctor, once." "He is still a fine doctor." "Want a drink?" "No." "He's alright now." "He'll live." "And for what?" "So some Cop can fill him full of lead." "I saved seventeen of them." "And all but three of them are dead." "And that's all I've done for nine years." "Alright .. take it easy." "Dinkie." "Maria Therese." "Where did you come from?" "─ Home." "How do you feel?" "─ What did you come for?" "Here, take it easy." "How did she get here?" "What does she want?" "We'll talk about that when you're better." "Telegram for you, sir." "Take a wire to Washington." "Director of the Division." "In answer to your wire." ""Scottsville."" ""23rd Day."" ""Crane reported yesterday, Black fully recovered from wound." "Stop."" ""Crane certain gang is in vicinity but Black not yet revealed hideout." "Stop."" ""Have armed unit, ten men, ready to move on first tip from Crane."" ""Duff." "Acting."" "Send it special code." "That's all." "Well, it's all set." "He's declared me in." "We go on a job tonight." "Good." "What's the job?" "How many going, and where?" "He hasn't spilled details yet, but he's after a theater/nightclub in some city." "We leave at six and pick up the rest of the mob at the hideout." "Where is the hideout?" "I don't know yet, but I'll get it out of him before we leave the cottage." "The phone number at the cottage is 799." "799?" "─ Yeah." "Call at six." "If the Chinese servant answers the phone, you'll know we've left." "You start with the boys, move in on the hideout." "As they come back, take them." "We'll take them, if you get those directions." "Oh don't worry." "He'd draw a map for me if I asked him." "I'm under his skin at last." "Good luck." "─ Thanks." "When the fireworks start, lie low." "And that's an order." "You're a good man, Crane." "I don't want you killed by my own guns." "─ Right." "That's all." "─ Yes, sir." "Oh, Mr Duff." "Would you do me a favor?" "─ What is it?" "Well, in case I .." "Don't happen to duck one tonight, would you look after that girl?" "Our boys might think she's with him and try to send her up." "She doesn't even know he's a killer." "She's been trying to reform him." "Begging him to go back and serve his sentence and then .." "Live on some farm an uncle left him and go straight." "It drives him crazy." "She's as fine as they come, Mr Duff." "You're kinda going overboard on her aren't you." "I've gone." "You are in a tough spot." "You won't get anywhere with it." "After you've taken her brother." "I've thought of that." "Of course." "I'm sorry .." "I wish there was a way out." "But I'll look out for her." "You have my word." "Thank you, sir." "Now." "You have about an hour in the farmhouse with Black before you start on that job." "Stick to him." "Forget the girl." "I don't want any slip-ups." "There won't be any." "Say, will you hurry up."

"Are you going to start that all over again?" "I said I don't like signing papers." "─ But the farm was left to you." "I don't want it." "But Dinkie, this house won't be any good to you after the police find it." "The farm will be some place for you to go." "It will give you a fresh start when you get out of jail." "They'll never get me in jail again." "I bet you a new hat they do." "Will you get out of here." "Thanks." "Do you mind if I get my bags?" "Dinkie." "If you're ever in a jam or need money or someone you can really trust." "I'll always be around." "─ Ah, quit balling." "I can't go this way." "I can't leave you living this kind of life." "Isn't there something I can do?" "Some way I can make you see?" "Please sign this." "Then at least you'll have a home." "Some place to come back to." "That's more than most crooks have." "Oh Dinkie, sign it now." "And then go back and serve your sentence before it's too late." "If you do anything else, they'll give you twenty years when they catch you." "That's most all your life." "Oh Dink, if they catch you with a gun on you, they might kill you." "Will you quit balling and get out of here." "No, I won't." "Take it easy." "I lost my head." "And I don't want guys with me who lose their heads." "Not over dames." "─ Wait a minute, Sonny." "I've been watching you two." "You've got a yen for her." "I was getting rid of her today but I wasn't fast enough." "Now get out of here, both of you." "Before I let you have it." "Go on, screw!" "Don't you dare squeal on me, loudmouth." "Go on." "Well, I .." "I just had to drop in on my brother." "Dear little Dinkie." "Always ready with a dirty word and the push in the face." "Say, what's the rush?" "─ I've got to get back to town." "What if I can't stand it?" "What if I have an athletic heart?" "Oh look, here comes a truck." "Maybe .." "─ Hey!" "Going into town?" "─ Sure." "Hop on the back." "So you've got a yen for me, have you?" "Of course I realize this is terribly sudden." "You don't have to give me an answer." "I can wait." "But not all afternoon." "It's an awful mess, Terry." "Not from where I sit." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Is there somebody on this wire?" "Ha .. ghosts." "Something is wrong?" "Crane or the Chinaman didn't answer." "I'll call again in fifteen minutes." "I can't leave with you on that train, Terry." "I'm sorry." "Now look, you're not going back there to Dinkie." "I don't know what I'm going to do." "But I can't see you for a while." "You're going to give up the racket, aren't you, Jeff?" "I can't give up the racket I'm in." "Yes, you can." "Tell the boys you did it for the wife and kiddies." "You've always been on the level with me." "You can be with everybody." "Can't you get it through your thick head that I'm proposing to you?" "You've got to be on the level .. because .." "Well, we won't have much of a home life with you in jail half the time." "Hello?" "799?" "Yes, this is 799." "The China boy answered." "They've left." "Let's go." "It's all mixed up, Terry." "I can't explain things now." "Don't try." "I don't care what anyone's done." "As long as he doesn't talk about it." "I'm not going back East until fall." "I'll give you and address where you can reach me." "You got a pencil?" "Drop me a line once in awhile, will you?" "Let me know how things are going." "How many pockets you've picked and all that." "You might send me a wire to the train tomorrow." "I'll probably feel pretty low." "I'll send you one." "No." "No, you mustn't do that." "Don't worry." "I'll send it to John Smith, general delivery, Scottsville." "I've got to hop off here, Terry." "So long." "So long." "Not too long, though." "Get organized, will you." "Hey, you forgot my address." "Report to my office at once." "Yes, sir." "Then he pulled a gun sir, and told us to get out." "I see." "Send in your commission card and your badge." "But Mr Duff!" "3 hours ago I said to stay clear of the girl until you found the gang's hideout." "Now you can never find it." "On orders from the President himself, we've worked for months."
