Billy Bathgate Page #7

Mr. Schultz does the hiring,

I do the firing.

Here's your severance pay.

Get lost.

What's the matter?

Can't you get it through

that Irish skull of yours...

That we don't want you?

We never did.

Now, there goes

a kid with luck.

Get him, Charlie.

Don't say a f***ing thing.

Hey, what's going on out there?

Somebody call the police!

Come on.

All right, move.

Come on.

Go, go, go.

Get down.

Dixie?

What the hell did

you bring him here for?

Dixie, what's going on?

What's the matter

with you guys?

You double-crossed him.

You sold him out,

you son of a b*tch.

Bravo, kid.

Lucky, will you tell these guys

to get rid of this guy?

- What's the matter?

- He was at the chophouse.

- He's a witness.

- Sorry, kid.

What are you gonna do

when he crosses you

like he did Mr. Schultz?

Don't worry. He won't.

Why don't you ask

him about the money?

What money?

They were sitting on

six million in cash.

We didn't come across that

kind of money, did we, Dixie?

We've been through this.

They were broke.

They didn't have the money

for payoffs, salaries.

What about the safe?

Otto had a safe. It was empty.

That's not true. I saw it.

It was full of cash.

He's lying.

You gonna listen to some punk?

He's nothing.

All he did was sweep up.

They never let him

near the money.

How come Mr. berman

gave me this?

Here, here.

This is a lot of money.

Dixie, if you're

holding out on me,

it wouldn't be the right way

to start a business.

Maybe we ought to have

a talk. Charlie, Pete.

Lucky.

Lucky, I told you the truth.

This won't take long.

What am I gonna do with you?

You got brains, guts.

I like that.

But Dixie's right.

You know too much.

What am I gonna do?

But I know things too.

For instance, I know

where bathgate Avenue is.

I know where you

buy your cigarettes.

And I know the laundry

where your mother works.

So I guess it all evens out.

Don't it?

Take care of yourself, kid.

Can I have my money?

Sure. Why not?

I'll be looking in on you

from time to time.

Just to see how

you're getting along.

Remember that.

Hey, kid, you want a ride?

No, thanks. I'll walk.
