"This program has come to you from Bill Bailey." "The friend in need, Open day and night." "Call Van Dyke 621J" "You're not leaving town." "You just think you are." "Why are you bellyaching." "You got more out of me than any other woman." "Yeah, you've been swell to me." "You buy all my clothes from shoplifters." "I can't wear my furs and jewellery." "The people you stole them from might see and throw me in jail." " Where you going, Red?" " No place." "Just came back." "Now, flannel mouth," "Get up and get Bill Bailey on the phone." "Sorry to disturb you judge, but Bill Bailey sent me over, to get you to sign this blanket bond." "Thanks judge." "Have a cigar on Bill Bailey." "His special brand." "Good night, judge." "That Bill Bailey has a lot of nerve." "Well, he's got a lot of influence too." "Da!" "Sure, sure." "Thank you very much." "This was Bill Bailey." "He just ordered 150 turkeys for Thanksgiving." " For charity huh?" " Sure." "For our poor judges," "Our poor lawyers and our poor police officers." "One... two..." "three... four..." "Five... six... seven..." " You've not had a winner tonight Bailey" " I make all my money off losers." "Here, have a cigar, Sam." "A tuba down in Cuba makes them especially for me." "Thanks." " This gentleman here will take care of you." " We want to see Mr. Bailey." "He isn't here right now, but I might get him for you if it's important." " My lawyer sent us over." "It's very important." " OK." " Just have a seat." " Thank you." " Over here please." "Excuse me just a minute." "This 1,000 bucks we're shooting for isn't a bag of peanuts you know." "All over but the shouting." "You can't beat Bill." "It's all yours, Bailey." " It was worth the money just to see you do it." " Thanks." "Sorry to disturb you, but there's an old lady and her son." " Cavett sent them over." " Cavett, huh?" "Don't go away, suckers." "I'll be right back so you can get even." " Come right in." " Thank you, Sir." "Take your hat off." " Have a chair." " Thank you, sir." " Now, what's the trouble?" " I didn't do anything, honest" " My boy is a good boy." " What are you charged with?" " Criminal assault." " How old is the girl?" "It's not a girl." "It's a woman, about 38." " How old are you?" " 16." "16?" "Well..." "You haven't got a thing to worry about Sonny, not a thing." "By the way, mother, do you own your own home?" "Why, yes Sir." "You just leave the deed to it in the outer office." " Thank you, Sir." " That's alright." " Thank you." " That's alright." "16, huh?" " Hello, Mr. Bailey, how are you?" " Good evening, Jim." "Ruby wants to see you." "She's upstairs." " Alone?" " She's with her brother." " I didn't know he was in town." " He just got out last week." "I first met Kate the Golden Gate San Francisco Bay" "She stole my heart away" "On a lovely summer day" "We did our wooing, went canoeing And we watched the fields at play" "On the golden strand I won her hand" "In San Francisco Bay" "I first met Kate By the Golden Gate" "San Fran... cisco Bay" "She stole my heart away On a lovely summer day" "We did our wooing, went canoeing And we watched the fields at play" "On the golden strand I won her hand" "In San Francisco" "Oh you Frisco Francisco Bay" "Good evening Mr. Bailey, what will it be?" "Give everyone a drink and make mine the usual, bourbon with a beer chaser." "Hello, how are you?" "What about a drink?" "A whiskey sour." "Have a cigar." "Oh, you big sissy." "Here boys, have a cigar." " I thought that was you, Mr. Bailey" " How's business, Jessica?" "This new 3 carat toot beer ain't doing us a bit of good." "Darling, Mr. Bailey's here." " Hello Bill." " How are ya Drury." " When d'ya get out?" " 2 weeks ago." " Drove here Friday from Detroit." " Have a cigar." " Thanks." "There were no suckers there, so here I am." "Drury still thinks suckers are guys that ride around in town cars." "We're all chumps for somebody." "You for Bill and me for a cutie down at the bar." "What you mean is a piece of plain, French pastry." "This one has nothing but class." "Wears a monocle and a man's tuxedo." " Then you're safe." " That's just where you're wrong." "She dresses that way for laughs." "Got a great sense of humour." "See you later, Sis." "So long, Bill." "So long." " Fix the tie." "Mr. Drury, you're always in a hurry." "Because I'm a guy what takes his time." "I've done a better job raising you than I have him." "I'm not as much worry with the girls as Drury is." "Oh yes you are." "But you always came back." "Ruby, I could never get stuck on any girl but you." "I like you a lot tonight." " Just like a little boy." " A nice boy?" "No." "The kind that writes dirty words on the sidewalk with chalk." "I used to do that." "Did you ever draw a big heart on the sidewalk with an arrow through it?" " And write underneath Lil loves Mary?" " No!" "Weren't you ever romantic?" "Can you imagine a guy getting romantic in a reform school?" "This girl outside wants to leave this ring as collateral." " What's she in for?" " Grand theft." " How much is her bail?" " 1,500." "But this ring is worth six grand." "How do you do." "I'm Mr. Bailey." " May I have your name please?" " Jane Smith" "Jane Smith?" "I've never been so embarrassed in my life." "This charge is so absolutely ridiculous, I just can't discuss it." " May I use your phone." " Certainly, over there in the corner." "This is Miss Talbart." "Let me speak to my father." "Society stuff." "They've got a butler." "And her real name is Talbart." "Hello, father." "I'll be delayed for dinner." "I've had an accident." "I don't want to discuss it over the phone." "No, no." "I haven't been shopping." "Don't send a car." "I'll get a taxi." "Ask Miss Smith to come in here." " Cigarette?" " Thank you." "May I..." "drive you home, Miss Smith?" "We can fix up this red tape later." "I couldn't think of troubling you Mr. Bailey." "No trouble at all, Miss Smith." "What kind of a car have you, open or closed?" " Open." " Oh, that's fine." "I'm starved." "Want to go to the Biltmore?" "No, let's go to a drive-in place." "Order hamburgers." "OK." " And remember, plenty of onion." " Yes ma'am." " Do you really like onions." " Insane about them." "All my life I've wanted to meet a girl who really liked onions." "So what?" "I've come to see you about Miss Jane Smith." "Accused of stealing a beaded bag." "D'you know who Jane Smith is?" "I know she was caught shop lifting in this store." "Jane Smith isn't her real name." "Her father controls some of the biggest concerns in America." "Why should she steal?" "We lose tens of thousands of dollars every year from amateur shoplifters." "People who steal for the thrill." "Now Jordon, I'm familiar with the financial status of your store." "You can't afford to antagonize people of prominence." "Speak to our insurance company." " What firm?" " Merchant's Protective Association." "Get them on the phone." "Let me talk to Jim Lane." "Get me The Merchant's Protective Association." "Mr. James Lane." "Hello, Jim." "This is Bill Bailey." "Listen Jim, I'm in Harkweather's Department Store." "I want you to tell their manager that you'll drop charges against Jane Smith." "Thanks." "Hello?" "Very well, Mr. Lane." "Yes." "Alright Mr. Bailey, No hard feelings." "Yeah, have a cigar." "A tuba down in Cuba makes them for me." "Pagan." "Almost savage isn't it?" "Tell me more of your experiences." "Since I've met you I'm a little bit ashamed of my experiences." "Have you had a lot of women in your life?" "I'd rather not talk about other women just now." "I'd rather you said it was none of my business." " Oh no you wouldn't" " Oh yes I would." "I want a man who's my master." "Not afraid of anyone in the world." "Who'd shoot the first man that upset me." "You'd have been crazy about Al Capone." "You think you're kidding?" "Elaine, you need a darn good spanking." "What I need is someone to give me a good thrashing." "I'd follow him around like a dog on a leash." "Let's change the subject." "You know that caviar is nothing but fish eggs." "Do you know that's the tentacles of an octopus you're eating." " Oh father..." " Excuse me." " Yes dear?" " I want you to meet a friend of mine." "Mr. Bailey." "He's what's known as a right guy." "Pleased to meet you Mr. Talbert." "You're wearing the wrong kind of a button, Mr. Talbert." "Davis hasn't a chance." "Heaven help this city if Smith's elected." " We'll have a wide open town." " Excuse me." "Yes dear." "As long as there's cities, you're bound to have vice in 'em." "You can't control human nature by putting in a new mayor." "Clem Davis is a conservative." "The only difference between a liberal and a conservative man is the liberal recognizes the existence of vice and controls it." "Whilst a conservative just turns his back and pretends it doesn't exist." "You seem to be well informed on city politics." "What is your business?" " Insurance." " Indeed?" "How is the insurance business" "I'm in a peculiar kind of insurance." "The tougher the times, the better my business." "I'm a bail bondsman." "I get people out of jail." "You have a fine daughter, Mr. Talbert." "Quite so." "A very fine girl." "But she has a little too much..." " Imagination?" " Imagination." "That's it." "She has a little bit too much imagination." "She has an underworld mania." "She's very fond of underworld pictures." "Always reading detective stories." "I sometimes think, that if she hadn't lived in a splendid environment she might have matched her wits with the law." "Just for the thrill of it, you understand." "There are a lot of people like that." "And these big department stores you'd be surprised how many fine people come in and take things for the joy of getting away with it." "Is there nothing that can be done about it?" "Well..." "I did know of a society woman who whose husband had a charge account in every one of the stores." "Whenever she stole anything, why... they just charged it against his account." "A very clever solution." " Have a cigar." " Thank you." "A tuba down in Cuba makes them for me." "Indeed?" "Shall we have a drink?" "Thanks, don't mind if I do." "What's the matter Bill." "Sit down, You look jittery." "Me?" "You were coming over last night." "What happened?" "I've been trying to get over for a week, but something always turns up." " Busy as a bee?" " Yeah." " Busy as a bee." " Gathering honey." " Miss Ruby's ready to sign the payroll?" " Put it on the desk." "What's good for... sunburn?" "Vinegar." " Are you kidding?" " Why don't you ask Elaine Talbert?" "I hear she's as dark as Jessica." "How do you always know my business?" "You always brag to your friends, and your friends are my friends," "Swell friends I've got." "I'm probably your best one." "If I tell you about this Talbert girl you'll only say I'm nasty." "I don't want to know anything about her." " Rather find out for yourself?" " Yes." "If you wouldn't mind?" "You're not really going for this girl are you Bill?" "Hell, I'm afraid I'm a little bit stuck, Ruby." "You'll get over it." "Don't say I didn't tell you." "Don't let her make a fool of you, Bill." "D'you ever know a woman who made a fool of me?" "See you back later, Jessica." "This is funny, me telling you not to let anyone make a fool of you." "and I'm the fool for still being in love with you." "Remember when you said you'd spoil me for all other men?" "I laughed to myself." "Now I'm laughing at myself." "'Cos you have." "Ruby, I'll admit this girl's got me down." "She's different." "Unusual." "I don't want to lie to you, or go behind your back." "That's why I'm telling you." "But nobody could ever take your place with me." "You know that." "If you were dying and needed a blood transfusion." "I'd be the first to give it" "So the only way we can get together is to have a blood transfusion." "This has been a swell visit." "Don't get nasty and spoilt." "Why not snap out of it and take me to a show?" "I can't." "I'm going to a lua over at Elaine's house." "Is that what they call it in society?" "A lua is a feast in Hawaii." "Elaine's father is the Vice President of the Honolulu Pineapple Company." "And owns a plantation over there." "I remember when you thought a hamburger sandwich was a banquet." "And you called a dinner, a feed." "If you could forget like you can remember... we could be swell friends." "I wish I could forget all the nice things about you." "And remember only the mean things you've done to me." "But I can't." "I remember the grand things about you." "You've outgrown me, Ruby." "You know people do outgrow each other, just like they do clothes." "That's true, Bill." "And it usually begins with the hat." "Come to me my melancholy..." "Baby" "Cuddle up..." "Cuddle up and don't be blue" "Goodbye." "Bye." "All your fears and foolish fancies..." "Maybe" "Because you see dear I'm in love with you" "Every cloud must have a silver lining." "You've got to watch and wait for that old sun" "To come through" "Smile my honey dear" " Bill, give me a drink." "Let me kiss away your tear" "Or else you'll have me melancholy too" " This song kills me." "Jessica!" "Yes, Miss Ruby?" "Call the florist." "I want this room filled with flowers." "We had another losing in the gambling home tonight." "When it rains it pours." "Well, well, a stranger among us." "Drop the kidding Ruby, this is serious." " Where's your brother?" " Just going to see him now." " He's in trouble." " Then you know about it?" "About what?" " The bank robbery." " Why don't you lay off the kid?" "Every time somebody steals something they blame it on him." "And two times they've proved it." "And twenty times they didn't." "The best thing for him to do is to give himself up and go out on bail." "When things get tough and he hasn't a chance, he can jump bail and beat it." " I don't think I need your help, Bill." " Listen, Ruby." "Your brother's in serious trouble." "For your sake and his I'll help him." "Now come along with me." "I've got a cab waiting outside." "Sorry, this cab's taken." "We're going to follow you, so take it slow." "And if we lose you..." "Call us at the station and tell us where you took your passengers" " and wait." " Here he comes now, play drunk." "I don't want to go." "I'm not going home." " My hat." " It's not, what are you talking about." " I know my own hat." " Now listen." " I don't want..." " Thank you officers, have a cigar." " How would you like to make bubbles?" " What do you mean?" "You open that trap of yours and tell those flat feet, I'll have one of my boyhood pals put you in a little bag and drop you in the river." "Then you'll make bubbles." " You scared that little fellow to death" " Yeah, but I gave him a big tip." "Come in Sis." "I was given the number of the apartment across the hall." "I rent it too." "Gives me a chance to pick my friends." "Hello, Bill." "How are you?" "He's in love." "Then you're worse off than I am." "Don't pay any attention to Ruby, she's jealous." "I'm heartbroken." "Why don't you two get together?" "We get together on balls and that's enough for me." "I've a feeling you're going to get together on my bail, pretty soon." "So you did rob that bank?" "After all your promises." "Well you see, it was like this." "I just happened by that bank..." "There are only about 12 people in town who won't believe your story." "And they'll be on your jury." "Have you got a good alibi?" "Just fair." "The fellow at the bank who gave me the bonds won't recognize me." " How d'you know?" " He didn't this morning." "You went back to that bank?" "Yes, just to try him out." "You're still the best thief in the world, Drury." "Did you know they found one of your gloves?" "Probably that whole case rests on a glove four sizes too large." " And a bank teller doesn't recognize me" " But they're looking for you" "My advice is to give yourself up." "I'll go see how much bail they want." "OK, but they've got to make it reasonable." "In case I have to jump it." "How about 50,000 for a half million dollar robbery?" "OK." "Between you and me, I'll be lucky to break even." "Most of those bonds were registered." "Well, that's over." "Let's talk about something pleasant." "See any difference in Bill?" " He's got a lot of confidence." " That's plain swell headedness." "He's gone society." " I hear she's a pip." "Don't blame him." " You're right." "I'm for any guy who can take a perfumed $20 bill from a woman's stocking" " and run it into a half a million." " Yeah." "And I can still remember the name of the perfume." "Sweet pea." "Well, you're in the limelight again." "Isn't that thrilling?" "You shouldn't be running around with a fellow like me." "You're the most interesting man I've ever met." " Don't you kid me." " I will if I want to." "What do you go around with me for?" "'Cos I like the way you act toward me." "Knowing you has opened the door to a phase of life that fascinates me." "People you know are guilty of everything..." "But dullness." "How do men in society act toward a girl when they go out?" "First they tell you about their tailors, then their powerful athletics, their affairs with follies girls" "Last but not least, they all quote Peggy Jordan." "Let's go over to the paddock, look at your dog shall we?" "Isn't it exciting to race your own dog?" "It was wonderful of you to give me Boojum." "Which one's Boojum?" "Here he comes no." "Number 7." "There he is." "Isn't my dog beautiful?" "Why d'they put 7 on him." "Why not number 1?" "My dog's the best looking one on the track." "Get that rabbit and I'll get you a real one." "There you go!" "Where did you get that mutt?" " Hello my little man?" " Hi, Drury." "Won't you join us?" " No thanks." "Got a couple of ladies with me." " Bring them along." " They might embarrass the young lady." " Thank you." "Pardon me, I have to go now." " Come back won't you." " I'm a cinch." " I wonder what this guy's racket is?" " What do you care?" "He promised us $5 didn't he?" "Who is he." "He's awfully attractive isn't he?" "Don't have anything with that guy." "That's Drury, the bank robber." "Really?" "I'll go make a bet with you for the next race." " I got your message." " I didn't send any message." " You didn't?" " Well, goodbye." " Where you going?" " Out and chase that rabbit." "You've a lovely sense of humour." "What did Bill tell you about me?" " Amazing things." " Bill's a great admirer of mine." " Must we talk about Mr. Bailey?" " No, let's talk about me." "Alright." "Let's talk about you." "How does it feel to rob a bank?" "Oh, hello Bill." "I thought you'd gone home." "Look like you didn't have a winner in the last race." "My Boojum came in last" "I'll get you the winner in the next." " Just a big shot." " I do alright." "Bill's doing alright too." "Don't pay any attention to me." "I just brought you here." "I love you when you're angry." "I can see you don't appreciate his sense of humour." "I appreciate Bill thoroughly." "Let's go make a bet." "Be a cad and tell me all about Bill." "Bill doesn't appeal to me that way." " What's the winner in the next race." " I'll bet on a black dog." "Called Change Your Luck." "Silly superstition like wishing on a load of new mown hay." " How d'you like to get interested in me?" " I'd love it." "Call me soon." "Talbert's in the phone book." "T..." "A..." "L..." "B.." "A..." "R..." "I want to send three dozen roses to Miss Elaine Talbert." " What's the address?" " It's in the phone book." "There are about 12 Talberts listed." "Well, send them all roses." " Why not call up first to make sure?" " I don't want to be sure." "I'm in love." "Don't let it get you down." "You've never played this course before." " Have a drink?" " No thanks." " I've got to make an important call." " I'll make one too." "Largemont 72310" "Largemont 72310 please." "Let me speak with Miss Talbert." "Mr. Drury calling." "Line is busy?" " Hello sweetheart." " Flowers are beautiful." " Sweet of you to send them." " Glad you liked them." "Largemont 72310 please." "I'm not going to wait to ask you when you can see me." "How about tonight?" "I have a date, but I might break it." " Why don't you ask me?" " OK, break it." "Call for me at 7:00." "Well, the same address that you sent the flowers too." "Still busy?" "Thank you." "OK honey, I'll be seeing you." " Did you make your call?" " No, the line was busy." "Maybe we were calling the same party." "Not a chance." "Well, Mr. District Attorney." "How about making it a foursome?" "Get that guy away from me." "People'll think we're doing business." "It won't be the first business discussed on a golf course." "Got some new evidence on Drury." "Maybe I'll call him in and double his bail." "Quiet please." "20 cents." "Thank you." " Aren't you coming up?" " Not tonight" "I'm not going to ask you again?" " Don't be angry with me." " OK." " Good night." " Aren't you going to kiss me?" "What for?" "If that's the way you feel about it..." "Elaine?" " You hurt my lip." " Did I?" "My goodness, you look like a chorus boy." "Hold up." " What's on your mind Bill?" " Bad news, kid." "The D.A. located the girl you had in your car the day of the robbery." "I suppose that's what I get for giving her the air lately." "One more conviction means... life for you." "If you want to stand trial, OK." "But your best bet is to..." "Jump bail and go out of the country." "You're right Bill." "I'm on my way." "I'll send $50,000 in gold bonds over to your office tomorrow." " That'll cover my bail." " OK." "I'll stall as long as I can when they send for you." "I think I'll go to Russia." " They'll put you to work there." " I'll get by on a diplomatic passport." "You head for Jack Sheldon's place in Dallas." "Stay away from airports, hotels, railroad stations and Turkish baths." "Get a cheap car and drive slow." "And don't stop at Autocare." "Liable to get picked up by a deputy." " In other words don't stop at all." " That's right." "Just keep going." "Go to the depot and get 2 tickets for Montreal under your own name." "Then take a plane for New York." "But only get a ticket as far as Toledo." "Pay the rest of the fare to New York on the train." "D'you think they'll follow me?" "If more than one person knows I love you the D. A. knows it by now." "This'll be the most exciting honeymoon a girl ever had." "I hope it's the longest." "If it only lasts a day, I won't regret it." "And Elaine..." "Take these bonds over to Bailey's." "They'll make good the bail I'm jumping." "In this briefcase are $300,000 of registered bonds." "Destroy them." "They're no good to anyone." "Except the people they're registered to." "Will I see you again before I go?" "Not until we meet at the bridal suite at the plaza." "You do love me don't you?" "What else matters?" "Nothing." "Tell me that nothing else matters." "Nothing else matters." " Any message Miss Talbert?" " Give this to Mr. Bailey." " With many thanks from Drury." " Very well." " Is Mr. Bailey in?" " No he isn't." "What can I do for you?" "Give him this and say it's from Mr. Drury with many thanks." "Mr. Bailey!" " Anything new?" " Drury sent over a briefcase." "Where is it?" " Miss Talbert call up?" " No, Sir." "And I've left your name with the butler almost a dozen times." "Get Drury on the phone." "Caledonia 34721." "Registered." "Not worth the paper they're written on." "Extra, read all about it!" "Don't talk that way, Bill." "My brother wouldn't cheat you out of a cent." "He's not built that way." "If you bring him back you're making a big mistake." "I'm always making mistakes and they're always big ones." "Which hurts you the most?" "Losing Elaine or losing the 50,000?" " What do you mean?" " Just what I said." "He's telling everyone how he made a chump out of me?" "No one in this town made a chump out of Bill Bailey." " You're making a chump out of yourself, right now, Bill" " Yeah?" "Well, I'm bringing the little rat back." "And I expected that of you." "Remember thieves made you and thieves can break you, you copper." "So you're calling me a copper?" "Well I am, whaddaya think of that?" "And I always will be." "Never saw a thief yet that wouldn't steal from his own mother." "I used to think the lowest men of all were those who took money from girls." "You make your money in a nice clean way." "When they open my safe they won't find watches and rings taken from poor, half starved girls." "Nor deeds to homes taken from mothers and wives whose men are in jail." "Every dollar you made was wrung from somebody's heart." "You're nothing but a blood sucker." "You've one chance to prove yourself a regular guy." "You do what every other bail bondsman would do." "Turn policeman." "Get out, Ruby." "Get out before I break your neck." "Suppose you go down to the police station and get yourself a club." "I guess you all know why I called you." "We heard something, Ruby." "You haven't heard the half of it." "Here's a guy I picked up out of the gutter." "A copper thrown of the force 10 years ago for petty graft." "I felt for the guy because..." "Well, he had a streak in him that I liked." "He had a swell personality." "I didn't have you come over here to tell you the nice things about him." "I asked you all over her to tell you how wrong Bailey is." "He turned my Brother in over a girl." "My brother's a two time loser and this time he'll go up for life." "Fellows, you all know the kid." "You all know how regular he is." "When he left he gave Bill 50,000 in gold securities." "Bill came to me and pretended they were worthless." "I offered to make good Drury's bail and Bill refused." "Go figure it out for yourselves." "What you want me to do, Ruby?" "Have him killed?" "No..." "Just break him." "I'll frame him in steel for the rest of his natural life." " Hello, George." " What's new Mike?" "Everything's always new." "Come here a minute." " You're out on bail aren't you?" " Yeah, 25,000." " Who went on your bond?" " Bill Bailey." " Good." "We want you to jump it." " Why?" "Charlie's put the finger on Bailey." "He's getting all the boys to run out on him." "Bailey'll have to make good on the bonds." "This time tomorrow, Bailey won't have enough dough to get his pants pressed." "Tell Charlie he's still the boss." "How many fellows has he got out on bail?" " 10 or 12." " Tell 'em to jump." "OK." "I heard that Charlie wanted to break Bailey." " Know the reason?" " Listen Joe, you know me..." "My friends don't have to have reasons." "Bill Bailey's on the phone again." "Tell him to take the receiver and... hang up on it." "I told him." "Can you imagine getting $500 to blow a safe and touch nothing in it?" "There's something in it alright." "Charlie's no fool." "He knows what he's doing." "One of the sweetest frame-ups I've ever heard." " I don't understand." " Don't you see?" "The underworld blows Bailey's safe and touches nothing in it." "Naturally our officers hear the explosion and investigate." "And find these." "300,000 in registered bonds." "From the Walnut National Bank holdup." "Better keep them for Exhibit A." "Looks like we'll have to indict Bailey for having stolen property in his possession." "But it cinches our case against Drury." " I want to see the managing editor" " He's busy." "Not half as busy as when I get in there." "Just tell him Bill Bailey wants to talk to him." "Please go right in, Mr. Bailey." "The office at the end of the hall." "Thanks." "Hello, Henry." "I put Ed Smith where he is today." "Made him candidate for Mayor." "When I asked him for help, he turned me down." "I fronted for the underworld in this town for 15 years." "Now they've turned against me." "They want a fight!" "I'll give them one." "I'll give them a fight they'll never forget." " Want to come over on our side of the fence?" " That's why I'm here!" "Get me the Mayor on the phone." " Clem Davis hasn't been such a bad Mayor." " Honest but dumb." "I'll get the keys to the Mayor's summer house." "Go there with you." "We'll blast Mr. Ed Smith and his under- world boyfriends right out of this town." "OK." "Charlie." "I'm going to ask you to do me a big favour." "And when I ask you, I guess you'll think I'm just plain crazy." "You name it and I'll do it." "Call off this fight with Bailey." "I started the whole thing." "Let me go to him and straighten him out." "Sorry, Ruby." "It's gone too far." "Bailey's got the boys up against the wall, fighting for their lives." "There's only one thing you can do to a guy like that." "Then you'll have to count me out." "Just as you say, Ruby." "You can go and tell Bailey what I said." "I know you're stuck on the rat and I wouldn't get sore." "Well, you know I wouldn't do that, Charlie." "Not a chance." "There are cops ahead of him, cops with him and cops behind him." "I've got an idea." "He goes to that pool hall, next to his office." " Every noon, for a game of pool." " Forget it." "Ruby, I'll see you later." "The place is filled with law sometimes." "All the coppers from the court house hang out there." "But I've got a different idea." "The best one I've ever had." " And I've had some good ones." " It'd better be good." " He's making suckers out of us." " It is." "Listen." "Think it will work?" "Walk over to the window." "I want to see Mr. Drury." "I'm an old friend of his." " I've just arrived from New York." " And what's your name?" "Miss Elaine." "Joe, send for Drury." "You mean to say you're willing to go through that for me?" "I'm mad as a March hare and I'm glad of it." "But I do love you." "I've got a gun in my pocket book." "And I've hidden those bonds you told me to give Bailey." "We'll have plenty of money." "You mean you didn't give those bonds to Bailey?" "No, I kept them for you." "I knew Dad would cut me off." "And you can't live without money." "Why you dirty little bag!" "Get out of my sight!" "I gotta get out of here!" "Let me out of here!" "I've got to get in touch with my sister." "I've found out something important." "It means life or death to somebody." " Stop your squawking." " Let me get to a telephone." "It's a matter of life and death." "You've got to let me out of here." "I've got to get in touch with my sister." "I've got to get to a phone." "How about a table, Bob?" "They're all pretty busy, but this'll be ready in a few minutes." "Here's your chow." "Remember, no talking." "Hey, come and get this chow." "I can't eat it." "Look at the bottom of that before you wash it." "Let's play rotation today, Bill." "My break." "Not so lucky, that time." "Hello?" "Yes, this is Ruby." "Yes, I'm alone." "What was the message?" "Read it again." "Thanks." "Jessica, get my hat and furs." "Hello, Charlie." "This is Ruby." "Drury just got a message to me from the jail." "Bill was framed." "I'm afraid it's too late, Ruby." "I just got a call from the pool hall." "Everything is set." "And besides, how do I know you aren't just fronting for Bailey?" "You go to..." "Three ball, I think, Bill." " Hurry, will you please hurry." " Sorry, but the signal's against me." "Go ahead." "I'll give you $50 if you make it." "Excuse me Mr. Bailey." "Miss Talbert's back in town." "She's on the phone now." "Tell her she's got the wrong number." "Just barely see it." "Six next, Bill." "Go on." "I'll make it a hundred." "Looks like we drove all the boys away." "Yeah." "Guess I'm poison since I made the headlines." "Looks like I'm behind the 8 ball." "You're going great." "8 ball next." "Ruby, are you hurt sweetheart?" " I'm glad you're passing." " Come inside until you've pulled yourself together." "It's a wonder you weren't killed." "When the doctor comes, send him in." "How do you feel?" " Where's Mr. Bailey?" " I don't know." " I've got to see him." " He's not in to you." "But you don't realise." "He's the only man in the whole world who understands me." " What table were you playing at?" " Right over here." "Here's where we were playing." "There's enough junk in that to blow you to pieces." "Are you kidding?" "What's the matter?" "I've just had the most horrible experience I've had in my whole life." "What happened?" "I went upstairs to answer this ad." "A man named Johnson told me he wanted a model to pose for his art studies." "I had to fight my way out of the office." "Nothing so horrible happened to me in my whole life." "My arm, it's bruised black and blue." "He struck me." "Look at my jaw." " What d'you say his name was?" " Johnson." "Give me that ad." "You know honey..." "I'll never get behind another 8 ball again as long as I live." "You'll always be getting behind an 8 ball darling." "And I'll always be pulling you out." "Remember that old saying about Barnum?" "Sure." "Barnum was always right." "Well, don't forget." "Behind every Barnum, there was always a Bailey." "Subtitles:" "Corvusalbus"
