Dick Tracy Page #2

---

They scare me.

We got rights, too,

you know.

- You're out, Tracy.

- Come on.

You can't do this.

The D.A. Will say

you're badgering witnesses.

Get me Mumbles.

[Mumbling]

Hello, Mumbles.

What right have they to...

[Mumbling]

Where's Lips Manlis?

I don't know where...

[Mumbling]

Where's Lips Manlis?

Guy I adore!

Let's hear it!

More!

- Count your blessings!

Show it! Move it!

- Touch it! I want it!

Grab it!

Let's go!

If you've got a little

Add a bit and it'll

Every jot and tittle

Soon, you've got the kit

Up! Up!

Higher, higher.

Let's go!

Never say when

If it's gonna rain

Happy with ten

If you like a penny

Or does that

That's not greed

Give it to me!

I don't know...

[Mumbling]

I didn't do it.

I didn't do it.

[Mumbling]

Mumbles.

Where's Lips Manlis?

Kick it up!

Kick it up!

Down front!

Something's better

No, no! It's wrong!

It's off.

It doesn't work!

- Boss?

- What!

I'm sorry.

These girls are tired.

We've been doing it all night.

It's 2 A.M.

It's 2 A.M.?

I'm about to

turn this dump...

into the best place of

a new era in entertainment,

you're telling me

it's 2 A.M.?

- [Scream]

- Play the piano!

That was a silly thing to do.

He's the best in town.

Shut up!

Come here.

Next time I turn his

fingers into pretzels.

I just might do the same

thing to your face.

See? He's playing

better already.

Let's go.

From the top!

Care for some water?

I'm thirsty.

Where's Lips Manlis?

Where's Lips Manlis?

[Mumbling]

[Mumbling]

[Mumbling]

- [Mumbling]

- You heard him, Mrs Green.

That's his testimony.

- Get him out of here.

- His what?

Hey, hey! Wrong way.

It's impossible.

I know that...

[Mumbling]

That's coercion. It's illegal.

Fingerprint those

walnuts by 8 A.M.

- I'm bringing Big Boy in tonight.

- It's the 5th time!

It's a gamble if

it doesn't stick.

The gamble's leaving

Big Boy on the street.

Let's go get him.

Hello, Big Boy.

I brought your garbage.

We meet again.

Where's Lips?

This is a private club.

Got a membership?

- Do you?

- I own it!

- Since when?

- Today.

I made a deal with Lips.

Where is he?

I don't know.

Must've left town.

That's a coincidence.

My new girl,

Breathless Mahoney.

Meet Dick Tracy,

servant of the people.

- You like walnuts, don't you?

- I love 'em.

A lot of people like walnuts.

They're good for the liver.

Yeah, but they're

bad for the brain.

You're sloppy.

You're under arrest.

Get him out of here.

We've got a place where

they don't serve walnuts.

See you in

a half hour, boss.

This ain't a break!

Keep rehearsing.

Get the lawyer.

Tell him this flatfoot

is out to get me.

Hello?

You're breaking and entering,

you know.

Sorry.

Sit down.

Aren't you gonna arrest me?

If I we're,

I'd have done it by now.

Then, what are you

up to, honey?

I think Lips Manlis is dead.

I want you to tell me

who killed him.

Or maybe you

weren't on his side.

Whose side are you on?

The side I'm always on.

Mine.

No grief for Lips?

I'm wearing black underwear.

I can take you in and

sweat it out under the lights.

I sweat better in the dark.

You don't know if you

want to hit me or kiss me.

I get a lot of that.

Look, you're safe.

Big Boy's in jail.

You can keep him there.

Give me a call.

My gosh, what time is it?

- It's 6:
30.

- [Gasp]

I have to get to

the greenhouse.

I've got those new

delphiniums coming in.

Pat's going to call

the orphanage today.

Tracy, try watering those.

Tess!

Thanks for watching the kid.

Good night, Tracy.

Tess...

you're one in a million.

Oh, Tracy, good night.

[Tess]

Have a good sleep.

- Tried the iodine transfer?

- Yes, Tracy.

- Silver nitrate?

- Twice.

Big Boy's fingerprints

aren't on those walnuts.

What is it, Sam?

Tess says she isn't going

for a ride with that kid...

if he's wearing

the clothes he has on.

They stink.

Police brutality, boys.

This is the 5th time.

Lucky for me,

I don't bruise easily.

Are you suing the city

for false arrest?

It's not the city's fault.

Tracy's unstable.

They should get rid of him.

If you don't first.

Who said that?

Hey, there's Fletcher!

"Law without order

is as great a danger...

as order without law."

Jefferson.

How can I support a maverick

who keeps making false arrests?

Tracy, I am district attorney.

[Radio]

Tracy...

...can't get the kid to...

- Chief!

I am a candidate for mayor.

If you can't control him,

take him off duty...

or I'll have to prosecute him,

and take you off duty.

[Radio]

Tess is having a terrible time.

What should I do?

Hey, hey. Come here.

You don't have to wear

what Tess tells you to.

Come here.

What are you

running away from?

I don't need no suit.

A suit's for school.

You can't fool me.

That means the orphanage.

I ain't wearing no suit.

Your clothes don't

smell very good.

If you don't want to

wear a suit, just say so.

Otherwise, pick

the suit you like.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I can do it myself!

Ow!

Get out of here!

The young man will be

out in a moment.

All right,

when do we eat?

Free as the birds

When do we eat?

When do we eat?

Free to hang around

When do we eat?

Most of all

That's my only motto

- When do we eat?

As an obbligato

Why is that

Free to say if I'm

But I don't have to

Anyway

Where the wind

Flying high and

Don't come out

Nice day.

Yeah.

Uh...

What?

I've been thinking, Tess.

What about?

You living alone...

I like living alone.

You know I'm not

the lonely type.

Well...

That's something

we've got in common.

Yep, we have

that in common.

Don't you think that since

we have so much in common...

it might be

a good idea...

if we just went ahead and...

Yes?

Well...

Look, I wasn't thinking

about you living alone,

as much as I was thinking

about me living alone.

Hey, Tracy!

Watch out!

Tracy, wait!

Are you all right, Kid?

- I'm okay.

- Thanks for the tip.

- Who was it?

- I don't know, Kid.

- I thought we was gonners.

- Just trying to scare us.

[Kid]

This is incredible!

What are we waiting for?

Let's get 'em!

Come on, let's go!

We can still get 'em!

They took a right.

I saw!

I'm sorry.

When you play in the street

it's part of the game.

I know that.

Just don't ask me

to like it.

Who was it, Tracy?

I don't know, boys.

Stick around here, will ya?

Sure, Tracy.

Thanks for calling.

I was beginning to wonder

what a girl had to do...

to get arrested.

Wearing that dress is a step

in the right direction.

Are you going to make a move,

or do I have to do everything?

I'm on duty.

What's your day off?

Sunday.

It's a big world.

It must be Sunday somewhere.

Does it seem hot to you?

Hot?

Why'd you call me here?

You know that car?

What I'm looking for

is a driver.

Preferably one

with some mileage.

Yeah?

I called you here,

because I want to know

if you're ready to testify.

No?

You're right, Tracy.

Why would you get mixed up

with a cheap floozie?

I'll be lucky if I get

through the week alive.

They probably
