- You would?|- Yeah. That's my job.

Do you always put so much of yourself|into your job?

You're not gonna know that|till you testify.

You're a good man, Tracy.

And I wanna do the right thing.

Come here.

Hey, what's the hurry?|Where's the fire?

Throwin' a ball in a trash can.|Is that supposed to be some big deal?

- Tess, uh, this is--|- I know who she is.

- Hello, Miss Mahoney.|- You must be Miss Trueheart.

- Tracy's told me so much about you.|- Oh?

He doesn't know|so awfully much about me.

Yeah, uh--|uh, thanks for comin' by.

- We'll be in touch, Tracy.|- Right. Uh--

Miss Trueheart.

- Yes or no?|- Yeah.

Give that letter to Big Boy.

Tell him you found it|under your door.

Who do I tell him you are?

You don't,|because you never saw me.

And don't try to find me.|I'll call you.

Make the deal.

"If you kill Dick Tracy,|you will be the prime suspect|and the city will mobilize against you.

"But for ten percent of your business|we guarantee Dick Tracy will not be|a problem for you any more...

and you will not be suspected|of anything."

What can you lose?|They don't deliver, you don't pay.

You're a piano player.|What do you want to be, a radish?

Don't bring me a deal from someone you|never saw, you don't know how to get to.

Get him outta here. Go ahead.|Play the piano. Okay, what's this?

I think I got this figured out.|I'm gonna--

- Hey. Got a match?|- I think we can work it out|this way, Big Boy.

- What was that all about?|- My income tax.

Hey!

Come here.

- You want me to follow him?|- Where, to the piano?

That was none of your business.|Come here.

I'm your business.|Okay, Numbers, let's see your numbers.

So then we get the same percentage|from the laundries--

- Where do you think you're goin'?|- Come on, Tracy, take me with you.

- How'd it go?|- Clockwork.

Well, let's just hope|Big Boy thinks I'm too stupid|to look under the top of a table.

Pat, I am gonna get him.|It's just a question of when.

Sooner or later|you're gonna be fine

Baby, it's time that you faced it
