The streets. The slums.

271

00:
13:57,169 -- 00:14:00,036

- The theatrical and allied professions.

- Oh, now, Potts, don't you think that...

272

00:
14:00,105 -- 00:14:02,073

I know it's regrettable,

this loss of time, gentlemen,

273

00:
14:02,141 -- 00:14:03,904

but it must be done.

274

00:
14:06,045 -- 00:14:08,377

Leave the key under the mat.

I won't be home before 9:00.

275

00:
14:08,447 -- 00:14:09,709

Yes, sir.

276

00:
14:11,183 -- 00:14:13,811

I'm writing about the planet Saturn.

277

00:
14:13,886 -- 00:14:16,719

Do I insist on going to the planet Saturn?

278

00:
14:17,656 -- 00:14:21,717

Maybe my data on sex

is a little outdated, too.

279

00:
14:23,729 -- 00:14:27,028

Just a moment, please.

Do you mind if I ride along with you?

280

00:
14:27,099 -- 00:14:28,623

Hop on, buddy.

281

Extra! Extra!

Nab Benny the Creep in cement killing!

282

00:
14:33,138 -- 00:14:36,335

Read all about it.

Corpse's dogs dunked into cement.

283

00:
14:36,408 -- 00:14:37,432

Extra! Extra!

284

00:
14:38,811 -- 00:14:40,711

Ice-pick killing!

Link Benny the Creep with Big Tom!

Extra! Extra!

288

00:
14:48,187 -- 00:14:50,121

Hey, what are you,

checking up on me or something?

289

00:
14:50,189 -- 00:14:53,181

Four words, blitz it, mister.

Blitz it, will you? You give me the mimis.

290

00:
14:53,259 -- 00:14:55,489

- "Mimis"?

- Yeah, the screaming mimis.

291

00:
14:55,561 -- 00:14:56,619

Extremely picturesque.

292

00:
14:56,695 -- 00:14:58,492

Young man,

could I interest you in a research project

293

00:
14:58,564 -- 00:14:59,895

in which you could be very helpful?

294

00:
14:59,965 -- 00:15:02,627

And what you promoting?

Some kind of reform school?

295

00:
15:02,701 -- 00:15:04,931

If you would come to this address

at 9:
30 tomorrow morning,

296

00:
15:05,004 -- 00:15:07,131

you'd be doing society a definite service.

297

00:
15:07,206 -- 00:15:09,436

Who are you anyway? Father Flanagan?

Yeah!

306

00:
19:35,574 -- 00:19:38,304

Young man,

what is the name of that song?

307

00:
19:38,377 -- 00:19:40,345

- Boogie.

- What does "boogie" mean?

308

00:
19:40,412 -- 00:19:42,004

Are you kidding?

309

00:
19:50,789 -- 00:19:53,053

MAN:
More! More!

WOMAN:
Yeah!

310

00:
19:53,125 -- 00:19:55,992

- Okay, what do you want, hep cats?

- More of the same.

311

00:
19:56,061 -- 00:19:57,358

- Same thing?

- Yeah.

312

00:
19:57,429 -- 00:19:59,897

Okay, we'll mix it up a little.

Come on down, Krup.

313

00:
19:59,965 -- 00:20:01,626

You're gonna have to be

awful quiet on this.

314

00:
20:01,700 -- 00:20:03,167

I'm gonna need a little help,

okay, squares?

315

00:
20:03,235 -- 00:20:04,497

- All right.

- All right.

316

00:
20:04,570 -- 00:20:06,834

I want this chair,

and we'll clean off the table.

317

00:
20:06,905 -- 00:20:08,463

A little juice down here, junior.

318

00:
20:08,540 -- 00:20:10,701

- What's cooking, Sugar?

- Match boogie, Krup. How about it?

319

00:
20:10,776 -- 00:20:12,209

Want match boogie? You'll get it.

Where's some matches?

320

00:
20:12,277 -- 00:20:13,369

I have some right here.

321

00:
20:18,317 -- 00:20:19,341

You two go with me,

322

00:
20:19,418 -- 00:20:22,046

and the rest of you take boogie

with you on the orchestra, right?

323

00:
20:22,120 -- 00:20:23,178

- Right.

- Okay.

324

00:
20:23,255 -- 00:20:25,849

Here we go, Krup, like buster's gang.

325

Yeah!

330

00:
21:21,647 -- 00:21:23,638

Young man,

what is the name of that young lady?

331

00:
21:23,715 -- 00:21:26,047

- Sugarpuss O'Shea.

- An astounding specimen.

332

00:
21:26,118 -- 00:21:30,054

She jives by night, root, zoot and cute

and solid to boot.

333

00:
21:30,122 -- 00:21:31,953

- Are you kidding?

- No.

334

00:
21:33,659 -- 00:21:35,251

- Come on, Sugar, quick.

- Yeah, quick is right.

335

00:
21:35,327 -- 00:21:36,351

What's the fever?

336

00:
21:36,428 -- 00:21:37,759

Listen, Sugie, you gotta take it on the lam.

337

00:
21:37,829 -- 00:21:38,818

- Yeah, they're looking for you.

- Who?

338

00:
21:38,897 -- 00:21:40,023

- The District Attorney's office.

- Why?

339

00:
21:40,098 -- 00:21:41,292

You've got to get dressed and out of here

340

00:
21:41,366 -- 00:21:42,799

- before they slap a subpoena on you.

- A subpoena?

341

00:
21:42,868 -- 00:21:44,563

Shh! Come on, we'll talk about it

in the dressing room.

342

00:
21:44,636 -- 00:21:46,399

Well, why can't you tell me now?

343

00:
21:48,674 -- 00:21:50,301

What is all this subpoena business?

344

00:
21:50,375 -- 00:21:52,070

On account of

Benny the Creep had an accident.

345

00:
21:52,144 -- 00:21:53,702

I never heard of Benny the Creep.

Who's he?

346

00:
21:53,779 -- 00:21:55,337

- One of the boys.

- He was on kind of an errand

347

00:
21:55,414 -- 00:21:57,109

when he grazed into a police car,

that dope.

348

00:
21:57,182 -- 00:22:00,174

And for that I've got to hide out?

That don't make sense, Pastrami.

349

00:
22:00,252 -- 00:22:02,186

No, you see,

when the bulls gave Benny a ticket,

350

00:
22:02,254 -- 00:22:03,721

they saw Kinnick in the back of the car.

351

00:
22:03,789 -- 00:22:04,949

- Dead.

- In the accident?

352

00:
22:05,023 -- 00:22:06,547

That's what Benny was trying to tell them.

353

00:
22:06,625 -- 00:22:08,786

- Only they saw Kinnick's feet.

- They was in a cake of cement.

354

00:
22:08,860 -- 00:22:10,418

Benny was gonna dump him

in the East River.

355

00:
22:10,495 -- 00:22:13,191

- That was the errand.

- What is all this? Where do I come...

356

00:
22:13,265 -- 00:22:15,233

Wait a second.

Is Joe Lilac mixed up in this?

357

00:
22:15,300 -- 00:22:16,927

The DA had him picked up

about a half hour ago.

358

00:
22:17,002 -- 00:22:19,300

That's why we're here.

That's why you got to beat it.

359

00:
22:19,371 -- 00:22:21,202

- Joe Lilac mixed up in a murder?

- Yeah.

360

00:
22:21,273 -- 00:22:22,706

I don't believe it, not for a second.

361

00:
22:22,774 -- 00:22:25,072

He was framed, Sugie, honest he was,

may I drop down dead.
