Bugsy

Bye, honey.

See you at six o'clock

at the station.

To speak properly it is necessary

to enunciate every syllable.

20 dwarves took turns

- This is like a lavender.

- Yes, it goes well with white.

Exquisite combination, Mr. Siegel.

Just as tasteful as always.

- Mr. Siegel. Floor please, madam?

- Penthouse.

If we make love,

it'll be the only time.

- What if you like it?

- I know I'll like it.

- I got off on the wrong floor.

- You'd better get back on.

- Don't stop...

- Is that hurting?

Meyer, I've got half an hour.

I've got ten minutes of sunlamp...

All right,

I'll do the sunlamp on the train.

Of course I'm alone.

She was an hour ago.

I've got to do it.

Call Charlie. He likes to take a nap

when there's going to be trouble.

Ben, it really affects my opinion

of your ability to administrate -

- when you get yourself involved in

this type of detaiI. Right, Charlie?

- Of course.

- See what I'm talking about?

- You just shook his head.

- What else was I gonna to do?

Count to 53.

- Good evening, Mr. Siegel.

- Hi, give that a brush for me.

- Weren't you going to California?

- I came to give you a present.

- Present?

- Yeah, open it.

- I don't get it.

- We hired you to do a job.

We pay you a nice salary,

we throw in a piece of the action -

- and you pay us back

by stealing from us.

Do you want the shirt off my back?

I'd be happy to give it you.

Here, from Sulka's.

They're the ones I wear.

If l'd taken longer, I'd have

bought some pants and some suits.

But I can give you some tips.

Let me see your shoes.

I don't want to be rude to you,

but they don't go with anything.

$3,900 we paid three guys to take

care of this. Why are we here?

You know his thinking process.

Ben has only one problem.

The same problem he had when

we were kids together on the street.

He doesn't respect money.

But that's for summer... and you

don't have to worry about summer.

If it was just business, I'd sell

insurance or import dresses.

The key to taking over Jack Dragna's

Southern California rackets -

- is to come in smooth. Approach

him like we want to be a partner.

The guy's been running the rackets

for 20 years with no competition.

- Except for Mickey Cohen.

- So we move in amiably.

- What about the bars and clubs?

- Fifty-fifty.

We move in,

but we don't ruin anything.

- Joey A. Knows Jack Dragna.

- Jack's a cold-blooded killer.

You've got to be careful. Don't say

nothing he'd take offence at.

- What are you smiling at?

- Nothing.

- Why can't we go to California?

- Maybe next time.

When you get to Los Angeles,

don't call George.

He's a movie star now, and attracts

more attention than Roosevelt.

- This has to be quick and quiet.

- And amiable.

Very funny. 12 days.

Four days out. Four days

of diplomacy. Four days back.

- Ben, could I talk to you a minute?

- After I say goodbye to the family.

I'll miss you.

When I get you on the phone,

tell me what presents you want.

- I already know what I want.

- Don't tell me now. Think about it.

- I need money, Ben. $50,000.

- For what?

The cops, the D.A., the FBI.

They're threatening to lock me up.

They're no good, these people,

except assistant D.A. Allen Stein.

Jewish kid.

His family's from Bedford Street.

What happened to the 50,000

for the armoured truck heist?

It's gone. You know me with money,

I blew it at the track.

Are you saying that if you don't

get it you're going to rat on me?

You? Never. I love you, Ben.

I would never rat on you.

You ain't gonna kill me, are you?

I'm going to try very hard

to forget that this ever happened.

- I owe you my life, Ben.

- I'd say that's a fair assessment.

Bend your knees, Harry.

When you jump from the train, bend

your knees to soften the impact.

Okay, Ben. Sure thing.

This has been four of the most

wonderful days I've ever spent.

A lot of it

was in the motion of the train.

He knows you. Are you somebody, too?

I love you, George.

- You look like a million bucks.

- You're looking good yourself.

Well, that's what they pay me for.

Okay, we're moving on here.

You're at the Beverly Hills Hotel,

bungalow five.

I know you said four days,

but I reserved six.

- Jack Dragna's the kingpin here.

- He runs a nice little operation.

Less to worry about. I'll drop you,

then run back to the studio.

- Why don't I go with you?

- If you like.

Hank's my friend. A dame like you

will give him a lot of headaches.

- I'm on to you.

- The blueprints are all drawn.

- New cigarette.

- She's eaten a whole cigarette.

Forget that you've ever seen him.

Here, get what I mean?

Take that money

and buy yourself some manners.

To waste on you?

Two bucks for one beer

and some phoney champagne?

Here's half a buck.

Split it between you.

Two bucks for one beer

and some phoney champagne?

- Here's half a buck.

- You're so cheap you're wholesale.

Don't forget, mister,

I asked you nice.

Rolling, quiet please.

Benny, you want to hit somebody

with a chair?

With this

I can hit home runs all night.

- Take this in case I come back.

- Can't I have a line?

Honey, he's the star.

- That was impressive, Georgie boy.

- I'm a pro.

May I?

If you want an answer,

finish the question.

- Light your cigarette?

- Sure.

I thought you were going to ask me

something a little more exciting.

- Like what?

- Use your imagination.

- I'm using it.

- Let me know when you're finished.

Is she a bit player?

Flamingo? Not for Joey Adonis.

That's Virginia Hill.

Joey's crazy. No woman is worth

a bullet between the eyes.

It depends on whose eyes

and which woman.

Why is Ben Siegel so interested in

a gal who's going with his friend?

Joey A? He's just an associate.

Are you still going with him?

If it were New Year's Eve, he'd be

my date. Who would your date be?

Wife. Esta. E-S-T-A.

I'll bet Esta lives her life

faithful to her one and only Ben, -

- who plays around like a jackrabbit

and lies through his teeth.

- I don't lie to Esta.

- Do you confess your sins to her?

What exactly does Mr. Esta

want from Miss Virginia?

Mr. Esta can't imagine anything

he doesn't want from Miss Virginia.

- Are you ready for a divorce?

- Never.

You're pretty ferocious

where Mom is concerned.

The rest of the time you're just

a sweet-talking, f***-happy fellow -

- with some good dialogue.

Dialogue's cheap in Hollywood.

Why don't you run outside

and jerk yourself a soda?

How would someone go about

getting a screen test done?

- Do you know someone who wants one?

- No, I'm just interested.

What about Virginia Hill?

Does she have a future in movies?

I'm not sure of my own future.

Lana Turner lives there.

Cesar Romero lives there.

Gary Cooper is there on the right.

He paid 45 grand.

- Houses bring that kind of money?
