"Sweet 17...and never been kissed!" " Kiss him, boys!" " Yes, go ahead, kiss him!" "Ugh!" "..." "Throw him back!" "..." "He still smells like milk!" "Hey!" "..." "He ain't too young for this!" "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17!" "And one for good luck!" " So long, gang." " See you, guys." "Brother, what a disappointment you must 've been!" "Whatsa matter Georgie?" "They tryin' to rush your education?" "Wanna watch it Georgie..." "Once spooked, you'll be on the stuff all your life!" "You know, we can get along without you two in here." "Come on Andy, I'll bet the kid knows more of that stuff than you and me put together." "I thought your father said to get a haircut and come right back." "It's Friday isn't it?" "The place is loaded, so I had to wait." "And look at the way you got it cut..." "If you got it done short like I told you, you'd get an extra week out of it." "That's kid stuff!" "Short!" "The er...that barber said I could use a shave." "What do you think?" "Did you hear that fellas?" "Georgie here thinks he needs a shave!" "Like the skin of a plucked chicken!" "Here Georgie-pie..." "let's singe it off!" "If you want to use my razor, George, you'll find it on top of the cabinet." "Hey, that's good!" "..." "That's real good!" "I like Al Judge's column best, don't you Flanagan?" "He's real shine." "Eat your vegetables, see." "If you don't like 'em, eat 'em anyway!" "Think of them like medicine!" "Oh, you're as bad as Frances 's what she's always saying." "He Dad, I only picked up 2 tickets for the fight tonight." "What about Frances?" "Forget about Frances." "Just remember to look decent for tonight." "Hey, Flanny..." "Why's he get so burned up just as I talk about Frances?" "If she hasn't been 'round in a couple of weeks...boy!" "The way they were getting along..." "I thought they'd end up being married." "How long you, your dad and I live together?" "About 16 years..." "Since my mother died." "Yeah, since then." "Sixteen years to learn better than to ask ME something that your father won't tell you." "Yeah, but I kinda miss Frances." "Forget it." "Okay, okay." "It's only that..." "Okay." "Happy birthday to you" "Happy birthday dear Georgie" "Happy birthday to you!" "Make a wish!" "You're La Main, aren't you?" "Yes, Mr Judge." "Come out here, La Main!" "Take off your shirt, La Main." "I want to see some skin." "Take off your shirt!" "I said "skin"!" "Down on your hands and knees, La Main." "Let's get this over with." "Get out!" "Get out!" "Get out of here!" "Why'd you let him do it?" " Why'd you let him do it?" " Shut up!" "Aren't you gonna get even with him?" "Forget it!" "Forget it!" "What about all those other people?" "Why didn't you tell THEM to forget it?" "Help me up please." "Close up the place." "You better go lie down." "Forget about this." "Hello, man, what's this about your old man getting beat up tonight?" "I hear he liked it!" "Asked for a second helping!" "Andy's OK...probably figures to square it in his own way." "None of that stuff around here..." "Not so long as this is MY beat!" "Is that what he's got on his mind, La Main?" "He said to forget it." "If he ever started anything," "Judge might set a couple of news boys onto him." "You tell your old man I know what happened and I know who was in it." "If anything more comes of it, I'll know just where to start lookin'." "You tell him that, kid." "What's the idea, Kennealy?" "Figuring Al Judge to get your promotion?" "How is he now, Georgie?" "Is he hurt bad?" "He's alright, only he's lying down and I don't want to bother him." "So please Mr Ehrlich, could you lend me a quarter?" "Yeah, he's an expert at laying down, ain't he?" "Do me the favour, Georgie..." "The baby likes you." "Stay with her for 2 minutes until her mama comes back from shopping" "Then I'll give you the quarter...eh?" "What's it tonight, Georgie...big date?" "Yeah...big date." "So you're the great Al Judge, huh?" "Thought I was just a wet-nosed kid, didn't you?" "Oh, I'm not gonna shoot..." "Not unless you try to pull a fast one!" "But you're gonna sit there and take orders from me!" "Don't cry!" "Don't cry, baby!" "Shut up!" "Don't cry, baby!" "Georgie!" "She'll be alright..." "I just talked to her a bit and she stopped crying." "You're a real father, Georgie!" "The girl who gets you..." "she'll be the lucky one, alright!" " Thank you!" " It's OK." "Georgie...it's terrible what happened to your father..." "He'll be alright..." "I gotta get right back and see him." "But he's such a nice man..." "Why would anybody want to hurt him?" "I don't know Mrs Ehrlich." "Look, tell him he should feel better..." "He's got such a wonderful, wonderful boy!" "Give your father my best, Georgie." "And tell him to take care of himself." "Okay, Mr Ehrlich." "And Georgie..." "I think he was a smart man, not fighting back like that." "Very smart...very smart." "Are you by any chance toying with the idea of converting one of those tickets into coin of the realm?" "If you are, I'm prepared to open negotiations." "How much?" "Let me see the tickets..." "I'll make you an offer." "That's alright!" "Is it a deal for 10 bucks?" "OK!" "Thanks!" "Okay, big boy!" "You're it!" "How much d'you get for that ticket, Joe?" "$1 and an 0!" "Don't you know you can't go around peddling tickets like that, Bud?" "You ain't as dumb as all that, are ya?" "I didn't know it was wrong, sir..." "Honest I didn't!" "I wouldn't have done it if I'd known it was wrong!" "My father got 2 tickets, only he's sick and couldn't come along." "Honest I didn't know it was wrong." "Got any identification, Joe?" "No." "How about your draft card?" "Haven't you got sense enough to carry that around?" "I don't have a draft card..." "I'm not old enough." "As long as I've got this evidence here, you're in plenty of trouble." "Now if there wasn't any evidence, there ain't a thing I could do." "Well, you got any ideas?" "It isn't my money..." "I never saw it before." "You sure?" "I never saw it before!" "You picked it up when you seen it drop out of my pocket, didn't ya?" "Yeah..." "That's what happened." "Next time you see somebody drop money... don't think about it so long before you decide to give it back!" "Now go on, on your way!" "I wonder if you could loan me those glasses for a second." "Well, my patron!" "I saw that porcine character grab you just after I got through the gates." "I trust you managed to take care of yourself." "He was a cop." "A cop?" "!" "Tell me, where have you been all your life?" "Cheap skulduggery." "Penny-ante chiseller." "You were had!" "Sorry." "What's so interesting?" "Oh, I just saw a friend down there." "The way you jumped, I thought it must be Lady Godiva!" "The name is Cooper..." "Dr Lloyd Cooper." "What's yours?" "George La Main." "When do you see your patients?" "Not that kind of doctor, George." "PhD...doctor of philosophy." "I teach journalism in a college upstate." "...in the purple trunks, weighing 156lbs" "Rocky Abruzzio!" "Well...thanks." "No thanks, not right now." "...at 155lbs..." "K.O. McLoughlin!" "You don't like him much, do you?" "Wha..." "I mean who?" "Whoever you're glaring at down there." "Here we go!" "All over!" "If you'd sneezed, you'd have missed it." "45 seconds." "Hey...where do people, I mean newspaper people...reporters, go after the fights." " Look I gotta know, because..." " Reporters...what paper?" "You mean Chronicle, Christian Science Monitor...what?" "The Press." ""The Press"!" "So that's who you were glaring at down there!" "Al Judge, eh?" "What's wrong, get in a fight or something?" "Want to take a poke at him, eh?" "You're not the only one, believe me." "That cane of his..." "He whacked a friend of mine right across the eyes with it." "No, that's not it!" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "You're not expecting to use brass knuckles or a sap, or anything like that, do you?" "I'd just like to get your lumps back, sure." "George, my gallant, just follow me." "Enter gladiators, to the sound of golden bagpipes." "Yonder, I do believe's...your elusive quarry." "The way you look, I think I'll bet on YOU." "What'll it be?" "I'll have whatever you do." "This is an occasion, General!" "Make it 2 Metaxas." "To the Greeks!" "They too were gladiators." "One more." "Hello, Al!" "How's everything, Peck?" "Oh, I can't complain." "How'd you like the fight?" "It stunk!" "What is this, Bud?" "Is it a hangout?" "Honest Mr Peck, I wasn't doing anything." "I just came in to get washed up." "I gotta get right back out because my friend's waiting for me." "The name is Peckinpaugh, Bud!" "I didn't know." "I heard Mr judge called you Peck so I thought that was your name." "Please Mr Peckinpaugh, I gotta see my friend..." "Don't shove me around!" "I don't like to have anybody shove me around!" "I wasn't trying to shove you around..." "All I wanted to do was get out of here." "I don't like to have anybody call me a liar, either, Bud." "What are you up to?" "If you're on the level, what are you sweatin' about?" "You got my 10 bucks, isn't that enough?" "Why don't you let me alone?" "Whadda you mean, YOUR 10 bucks?" " Five." " Eight." "George!" "George..." "I know everything, George." "Everything." "You got him in there...hm?" "Ah, you rat, you!" "This one is for the working classes!" "One punch and it's all over!" "How about it George..." "can we take a look at the remains, now?" "Oh, come on George!" "Just one li'l teeny weeny look!" "Al Judge isn't even here." "He left." "I gotta find him." "Wait a minute George...." "Wait a minute...aha!" "You're newspapermen..." "OK..." "George here is looking for Mr Judge." "Mr Al Judge." "The most important fellow in the world." "George is going to track him to his lair..." "And then...whow!" "The kill!" "He is where?" "That's why it's...important." "Why don't you call up "The Press"?" "If Judge is there, they'll tell you..." "Otherwise they'll tip you off where he's at." "It's Bellevue 0404." "George!" "I'm late, George, I'm hours late...." "getting into the club." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Hey, George, stop!" "Have to use a acetylene torch to get him out." "Well Paul Revere, what did you do, walk down from Troy?" "Dog sled." "One of my dogs threw a shoe just outside of Albany." "As it happens, I bumped into an old friend of mine." "George La Main." "He's in the newspaper game." "The man with a mission." "Hello." "Hello." "Julia Rostina, girl with a mission." "She'll strain you all out, Georgie... and you...you're a schizoid..." "you have no peace of mind." "Julie hates people with no peace of mind." "Don't you Julie?" "You slay me!" "Hello, sports department please." "I wanted to talk to Alan Judge." "When do you think he'd be back?" "Couple of hours." "But where is he now?" "I gotta talk to him right away!" "Around 2 o'clock..." "Okay...thanks a lot...thank you." "3 Martells" "You know I can't touch that stuff." "Make it 2 Martells, General..." "The lady's in training." "You slay me." "You really do." "Now what's wrong?" "I've been late before..." "You tell me George." "What have I done that's wrong?" "You don't ask me, Doc..." "Doctor." "Better ask your..." "Miss Rostina." "Marion's at the apartment." "She came back 2 days early." "Jesus, that's great." "Couldn't you tell her you had a slight case of smallpox?" " She's my sister!" " No kidding!" "Is that the latest compulsion?" "You're a rat, you really are." "All support fellow clients for our virgin siblings." "Why don't you go away and leave me alone." "You're not making things any easier." "Listen..." "I'm sorry..." "I take it back." "Don't ever talk like that." "Well, what do you WANT me to say?" "Well, we're dragging poor George right into the middle of a family quarrel." "Is that any way to teach him to have peace of mind?" "That's OK." "Come on, let's dance..." "Terry Angelus will be on in 5 minutes." "Yeah, let's...." "Come on George." "Hello, Georgie!" "Okay!" "..." "Think I can't help myself?" "!" "I'm pleased to meet you." "I want you to know what I think." "I figure you're the most wonderful singer in the whole world." "Thanks!" "That isn't all." "'Cause also you're..." "You're so beautiful." "Even if you are..." "I didn't mean to say it." "I didn't mean to say it!" "Hi." "Hi!" "I've forgotten your name." "We weren't introduced." "You fell asleep on your way in." "I remember the stairs." "You ought to...you spent a long time on them." "Who are you?" "I'm Julie's sister, among other things." "Where's Dr Cooper?" "They had to get something more to eat, or something." "Cooper said they'd be right back." "In case you have any faith in Cooper." "Hey...don't you like him?" "Why...do YOU?" "Not yet." "How long have you known him?" "Now let me see..." "Since tonight..." "We met at the fights." "Well then, you haven't known him very long, have you?" "You don't HAVE to know people very long." "I mean..." "Doesn't it ever happen to YOU?" "You meet somebody and... you take one look and... you know they're alright." "Just like that?" "!" "You notice how you can do that?" "Yes, sometimes." "Sure...of course..." "I guess when you're younger, you don't notice things like that." "When you're younger?" "You'll like it." "Hey, you wanna flood us outta here?" "There's nothing like coffee for a man with a hangover." "Yeah, a man's gotta..." "You know..." "You're nice." "Thank you, George." "I'm sure if I knew you better," "I could say the same thing right back" "I wasn't fishing." ""Fishing"?" "Do you like to read?" "Yes." "I guess I CAN see it without knowing you any longer." "Really?" "You ARE nice." "How come if Dr Cooper is like you think he is..." "Julie goes out with him." "Lonely." "Lonely?" "How?" "Why, each of us has got secret things...deep inside." "Perhaps we don't have someone we can share them with." "We usually go all haywire." "That's what I mean by lonely." "I know what you mean." "I think." "But maybe you're wrong about Dr Cooper." "Look, I've only known him a little while." "Maybe you're wrong." "First day my sister brought him home." "My father was still alive then." "He took a look and he said "He's no good."" "Maybe my judgements aren't your type..." "But my father was never wrong." "What makes you think your father was always right?" "Well, he WAS...that's all." "How do you know?" "I mean how can you be so sure?" "Look, I lived with him nearly all my life." "Well suppose that all the years you lived with him... you thought he had heart..." "and guts..." "He was a real man." "You found out you were wrong." "You'd just been sucked in." "Suppose..." "Somebody walked in and hurt him." "Hurt him bad!" "Everybody just stood around and laughed at him." "He didn't do anything about it." "What would you do then?" "You're not talking about my father." "There's something else bothering you, isn't there?" "Well, what would you do?" "If all your life you thought he was so wonderful." "He turns out just to be a fake." "You've been fooled all along." "You just try to grab at where he left off." "And go out looking for the guy had done that, so it..." "Is that what happened?" "Are you out looking for someone?" "What is it, George?" "My gun!" "Where's my gun?" "Maybe you lost it in the cab?" "You hid the gun!" "No, I didn't, George." "Yes, you did...you hid it!" "I didn't...believe me, George!" "You were playing me along." "You didn't really like me." "You thought I was just a kid, didn't you?" "Were you laughing at me?" "Were you still thinking I was wet behind the ears and smelled of milk?" "Were ya?" "!" "Do you think I'm a kid now?" "Yes." "I DID want you to forget about it." "I didn't think it would make you any safer or happier or older to use it on someone else." "And George when you kissed me, I knew I was too old for you." "But I did like it." "It's the sweetest I've ever had." "Really?" ""Sweetest"!" "Well!" "Homework, I presume." "Aw, shut up, poop!" "George come back, please!" "Where's he going?" "Do you know where Al Judge is?" "He's gone by now." "What do you want him for?" "I mean is it good, or... or bad?" "He'll probably be there the rest of the night." "Thanks." "You weren't the one he hit across the face with a cane, are you?" "I knew him." "OK kid, it's me." "Do you have any money?" "Please mister, please take me!" "Shove off, Mac!" "Please, it isn't very far." "Well what's the matter with you..." "can't you take a joke?" "Can't you?" "Whatever you say, Mac." "This one's on the house." "Who's that?" "..." "Who is it?" "I generally like people to knock." "But now that you're in, sit down." "Listen, if you're worried about me talking, forget it." "You won't need me." "I'm not worried about you talking." "I LIKE to hear you talk." "You don't get it, huh?" "Peckinpaugh turned in a description of you a mile long when he came to." "They'll send you up for a nice long stretch... without any help from me at all." "Weren't you laying for Peckinpaugh?" "No." "Oh, look..." "I saw you in the mirror." "I'd 've tipped him off..." "only it happens I don't like him." "I wasn't laying for HIM." " You weren't?" " No." "Then what...?" "Me?" "Yes." "I couldn't quite tell for sure, but..." "I got the impression you were packing a gun." "Still I am." "I that case I guess I can take the time to find out whatever your beef is." "Or were you just planning to shoot me without letting me in on the secret." "Don't get funny." "What do you know about Frances Sedzowski?" "What are you doing here?" " Is that your business?" " I'll kill ya if ya don't sit still!" "Don't go waving that gun around, son." "You're not in any shape to fool around like that." "No...just keep your head..." "Let's talk sensibly." "How did you know Frances?" "Know her?" "..." "Know my sister?" "Do you expect me to believe that?" "Doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." "She couldn't be!" "Her name..." "That is my name too." "Sedzowski." ""Judge" in Polish." "I'm just going through her stuff." "Supposed to have it out of here tomorrow." "Out of here?" "What for?" "Where is she?" "Son...you're too jumpy to have a gun in your hand." "Put it away, will you?" "And I'll tell you anything you want to know." "Where is she?" "What happened to her?" "Now...don't be surprised..." "I'll tell you." "For both our sake, don't be surprised." "She's been dead a week." "Does my father know that?" "Your father?" "Who's your father?" "You know him..." "Andy La Main." "La Main!" "He sent you...a kid!" "Don't call me that!" "Whatever he wants!" "Some letters?" "So he doesn't like to be afraid to come and ask for them?" " You go tell him that!" " He doesn't even know I'm here." "Then I don't get it." "If I told you to take off your shirt and show me some skin..." "Then would you get it?" "Listen son..." "Frances was my sister." "I had the right to do what I did." "You didn't." "You had NONE!" "You just did it right in front of everybody!" "She'd been living, thinking your old man was going to marry her." "I thought you said she was dead." "HE killed her!" "I'm telling the truth!" "When he said he wouldn't marry her, she bought a bottle of pills." "She killed herself...here!" "It's because of YOUR old man!" "Andy La Main." "Your old man, kid!" "Your old man!" "You're lying to me." " You're lying!" " Lying!" "OK...shoot me." "I'm only a cripple, anyway." "It couldn't be true what you said about my father." "But you believe it is." "And I can't shoot you just 'cause you don't know what he's really like." "Good night, Mr Judge." " Here's your..." " Right there..." "Don't move an inch either way." "I don't have to be afraid to kill YOU." "Simply a case of resisting an armed prowler." "But 2 cases of assault with a deadly weapon in one night!" "Say about 15 years!" "That ought to stretch out the enjoyment for all of us." "Now, first your father..." "so he won't miss any of the fun." " Then the police!" "What's the number?" " Don't." "Oh, but of course...my sister..." "he had a mistress." "Don't call my father!" "I thought when I left his place tonight" "I hadn't got enough satisfaction out of it." "What's going on down here..." "Call the police!" "Who is it?" "What is it George..." "What's the matter?" "What is it?" "What?" "I...just killed Al Judge." "I want a glass of water." "Judge..." "Judge said he had a right to do what he did to my father." "I don't believe it, do you?" "He said my father made Frances kill herself, because he wouldn't marry her." "That's why he was beaten up." "Who was Frances?" "My father's girlfriend." "But they liked each other!" "I know...if she wanted to get married bad enough... well he'd have said yes." "Isn't that what you'd think?" "I wish I could help, George..." "but I don't know." "But...not marry..." "My...father's good." "Real good!" "Possibly we don't...talk much." "Together I mean." "Doesn't tell me everything." "Guess he thinks I'm still a kid." "I try to tell him, but I can't." "I don't know why, but I..." "I can't tell him how much I like him." "Can you understand that, Marion?" "Just the other day... no...yesterday..." "Just last night at the..." "It was my birthday." "My father...you couldn't guess what!" "He had a cake." "You know, a birthday cake for real...surprise!" "He had everyone at the bar sing "Happy Birthday"." "Think of that!" "Down the bar near where I was sitting..." "Set it down in front of me." "Then he looked at me." "Right then I wanted to say" ""Dad....no, Father..."" "That was it..." "I wanted to say "Father, I love you!"" "Just like that, I wanted to say it." "You knew he was a fighter." "He's a man...a real man!" "I just didn't say anything." "Nothing at all." "Just sat there." "Then I... felt all tied up." "I couldn't get it out." "I just couldn't get it out!" "My father couldn't have made Frances kill herself, could he?" "He couldn't have!" "I never meant to kill Judge." "I thought I had a right to get even with him for what he'd done." "And when he told me about Frances..." "Well, if it's true, he had a reason." "If it's true, my father did...." "I'm sure it's not true, George." "Then how come...?" "How come...?" "How come he just lay there and let Judge beat him?" "I don't know what you're father did or didn't do." "I couldn't possibly know." "But you've got to realise, even if it's very hard to... that that really doesn't matter." "Even if it was an accident, killing Al Judge... even if he was a very bad man..." "You were WRONG to try to make things right with a gun in your pocket." "What's going on here?" "Hiding yourselves in the hall." "George just came back." "Good George!" "I just killed Al Judge." "Fine!" "Only I'm sorry now, and I don't know what to do." "Look, you gotta help me." "I need help!" "Killed him!" "What'd you do?" "Beat him up so bad you thought he was dead?" "I shot him." "Shot him?" "!" "You're drunk!" "He beat up my father and I killed him." "I thought I had a right to do it, but..." "I found out something, and now..." "I don't know!" "What was all that about him hitting' your father and you just wanted to get even?" "You said that, I let you think it was true." "I said it?" "Don't you go putting words into MY mouth!" "What are you trying to do?" "Make me your alibi?" "I just want you to help me!" "Put that gun away!" "C'mon, let's get out of here." "Kill a man and come running right to me like that..." "I'm telling you this..." "You get it into your head..." "You don't know me, see?" "You don't know me and never saw me before." "You gotta let me stay here..." "You can't chase me away!" "Tell him, Marion!" "You gotta let me stay!" "I'm giving you the biggest break of your life by not turning you over to the cops right now." "You're on your way!" "You gotta let me stay!" "If you drag my name into this, I'll kill YOU myself, you understand?" "I've got a family upstate... and I don't want to have to do any explaining to my wi...mother." "Now get out...and shut up!" "Father!" "I'm late now, boy...maybe too late." "Sorry." " Father..." " I'll return." "Wait for me." "He'll tell them he's guilty." "They'll kill him!" "Kill him for what I'VE done!" "I'm not a kid any more, Flanagan." "I can take it..." "I can take it myself!" "You can't!" "..." "Hear me..." "You can't!" "Why?" "Why not?" "He's not to blame!" "I am!" "Well, he figures HE is." "Anyway, your father wants it this way." "Stop it!" "Don't go!" "..." "Don't take him...wait!" "He don't know what he's sayin'.." "Don't listen to 'im!" "Don't listen to 'im!" "My father didn't kill Al Judge..." "I did!" "I didn't mean to, but I did." "George!" "I used this." "There's people that saw me with it." "They know I killed him!" "Look, I'll give you their names..." " Grab it!" " Relax!" "Listen son, nobody killed Judge." "Creased him is all." "Nasty powder burn..." "Concussion...no more." "He's alive?" "!" "They say so." "He's dead, I killed him...it's a trick!" "It's the truth, George..." "It's the truth." "George, it'll be alright son..." "Just give me that gun." "If it was an accident like you say, no premeditation..." "It'll likely be a suspended sentence." "Something like that." "Listen to him, George." "Listen to him, why?" "You think I'm a kid, and you're lyin' to me!" "I'm your father." "Give me that gun." "Give it to me!" "Even if Al Judge IS alive..." "What's the use of MY living?" "Nothing matter's to me any more and nobody I matter to." "You're all worn out, boy." "You're tired." "So tired you can't think straight." "Georgie...you matter to me." "Since when?" "Georgie!" "When did I ever matter to you?" "Did I?" "Did I ever matter to HIM, Flanagan?" "When did you ever communicate with a person with a brain and feelings of my own?" "Watch out!" "I'll use it...maybe on myself." "Lying there letting him beat you." "Well why shouldn't he?" "It was all your fault anyway!" "It was!" "If he'd married Frances the whole thing would never have happened." "You liked her alright, didn't you?" "Then why didn't you marry her?" "How could I?" "I'm still married." "To your mother." "But she's dead!" "My mother's dead!" "You left her and you never even told me!" "No." "She left ME!" "You squalling upstairs in the baby bed and me working my head off." "All the time, another man." "She ran off with him." "That's how it is with some men." "There's only one woman in the whole world for him." "If it's the wrong one...tough!" "But why didn't you tell me?" "Should have." "But I was afraid it would just make you hate her." "What good would THAT do?" "Why shouldn't I?" "Didn't you?" "No." "I loved her." "Kept on loving her." "You didn't tell me about THAT, too." "I should have." "I should've tried!" "Subtitles:" "FatPlank [RLB] for KG"
