down there?

Tracy, what are you doing?

We're surrounded by cops!

- Cops?

- A billion of them!

Burn the records!

This is your fault.

They're forcing me to

use you as a hostage.

Break out the guns!

Geez, boss.

Tracy's girl?

Someone set us up.

They're going to get

us on kidnapping.

All of us!

We've got to get out of here.

Out of my way!

I like Tracy.

I met him once.

Did he tell you?

I may put a bullet

through your head.

What do you weigh, Pat?

About 195... 196...

How much?

210.

Keep the number mounting

The only way in

is to bust our way in.

Jump.

What?

Jump.

Jump?

Keep your mouth shut!

Don't say nothing to nobody.

You think we're surrounded,

but I'm getting out of this.

Watch me!

Move it, woman!

Now, however

Jump.

Come out with your

hands over your head.

They'll never take me alive.

We're making a break for it.

Come out with your

hands over your heads.

This is it.

The gig is up!

One is fun

And if you like two

And if you like four

Let's go!

In the car!

In the car!

When I hit my horn,

that's the signal to go.

Give it to 'em, boys!

You've gotta tell

them everything.

They crave leadership.

- You're under arrest.

- Chief.

- What's he doing up there?

- Tracy!

If you've got a little

Add a bit and it'll

Every jot and tittle

Soon you've got the kit

He has Tess, but

won't bring her out.

We've gotta go in.

Give me that

tommy gun, Sam.

Okay, hit your horn.

[Horn]

Never settle for

Something's better

This may get messy.

You make a wrong move,

I blow your head off!

Big Boy!

I wonder why I try

to improve things.

Nobody seems to care.

Pain can be valuable,

Miss Trueheart.

We learn from pain.

Don't make me push you!

This is awkward.

This is so awkward.

Let's go, men.

Big Boy's inside with Tess.

I knew he wouldn't

have the guts to come out.

They say I kidnapped you,

but I didn't.

Now I am.

Does life imitate art?

So many questions,

so few answers.

What a way to

start the new year.

He took her

through there...

the wine room.

Tracy...

you don't trust me.

Tracy...

good luck.

Thanks.

It was stupid of you to have

been lured into this scheme.

A big mistake.

It's not so much that

I have to hurt someone,

just don't

make me do it!

Ya louse!

Believe me,

this is not the way

I wanted it to be.

[Boat Whistle]

There it is!

The city!

They'll never find me.

Can you hear its beat?

Oh, the rhythm.

Happy New Year!

Jump! We can make it!

No, don't jump.

We can't make it.

[Bang]

[Fireworks Bang]

You'll pay for this.

You're gonna pay for this.

Don't move!

Not if you want

to stay alive.

A woman, a woman!

I've been humiliated

by a woman.

The way I see it,

and Plato agrees.

There is what is,

and there is what we'd like.

But that's not important.

What's important is

the future, planning ahead.

"A man without a

plan is not a man."

Nietzsche.

Wait a minute.

I'm having a thought.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes.

I'm gonna have a thought.

It's coming.

It's gone.

Rise above the tide.

Take that journey into

that faraway land...

a land that just waits.

It waits by the track...

where the train of

destiny must run,

run into the future breaking

the shackles of the past.

Forget the past.

Our limitations

are our shackles.

Put them behind you forever.

Put them behind you

forever, Tess.

Can't you see I love you?

What's that!

Hands up, copper!

We've got to talk.

I did not kidnap this woman.

Drop that gun!

Or my next bullet's

got her name on it!

[Tess]

Don't do it, Dick!

Good.

What's that? Tracy!

Tracy?

Where are ya?

Where'd ya go?

You playin'hide-and-seek?

That's not fair.

No way to be, Dick.

Come out.

These gears are turnin'.

You want this dumb dame's head

to be smashed like a walnut?

Tracy, I did not

kidnap this girl.

Somebody's trying

to frame me!

Where are you?

Come on!

I just want to

see your face.

I just want to crack

your head like an egg.

No, no!

I didn't mean that!

[Big Boy]

You hear that?

What's happening

to that can...

is going to be happening

to her head!

There's not going to be any

more beautiful hair to fondle,

no ears to nuzzle.

You're going to have

chopped sweetheart.

Those gears

are like a clock.

Every notch, tick-tock.

[Crash]

Tracy!

[Gun Shot]

Drop it!

Get your hands up.

Don't move.

I outsmarted you, Big Boy.

I knew you'd panic.

I brought you down

with kidnapping.

The only crime

you didn't commit.

Whoever you are,

I know we can make a deal.

I'm making my deal

with Tracy.

With Big Boy out of the way,

we can own this town.

Pick up that pipe

and kill him.

Pick it up!

Pick up that pipe.

[Tess]

Tracy, no!

Drop the gun!

Ahhh!

I'll do it, Kid!

Don't move

your head, Tess.

It's okay.

Don't turn your head.

[Kid]

Hey, Tracy, look.

Is he still alive?

Will you look at that.

Tess...

call an ambulance.

I'll call, Tess.

I'll go get it.

You were right, Tracy.

I couldn't pull the trigger.

It was a good plan,

Breathless.

You almost pulled it off.

- The city would have been yours.

- Yeah.

You were my only mistake.

Tell me the truth.

Could it ever have

happened between us?

That's how we got

him to confess...

that Breathless

killed Fletcher.

He was her piano player.

[Tess]

Not bad.

You're probably much

too smart to need this,

but I think I'll

give it to you, anyway.

Gee!

Tracy! This...

Wow!

Tastes different, Mike.

Did you wash the bowl?

Ha!

Don't listen to him.

It's just grand.

[Mike]

Except for the guy she goes out with,

this lady's got real taste.

- Tess...

- What?

I've been thinking.

What about?

You living alone.

I like living alone.

Uh-huh.

We have that in common.

Uh-huh.

Don't we?

Two people with

so much in common...

ought to do

something about it.

Uh-oh.

Shut up, Kid.

And...

Uh...

Yes?

Uh...

Don't you think we'd

be happier if we just...

What?

What do you think?

Dick Tracy,

are you asking...

[Radio]

Calling Dick Tracy.

Robbery in progress,

Metropolitan Bank.

Hot diggity dog!

Come on, let's go!

Come on, Tracy!

Well, what are

you waiting for?

A nice safe desk?

Tess...

you're one in a million.

[Kid]

What are you waiting for?

Come on.

Let's go!

Come on. Metropolitan Bank.

Step on it!

You know something, Tracy?

I kinda like that dame.

Once upon a time

Because I had

The sun, the stars

Had the clear blue sky

That was when the best

Then time went by and

Which is fine with me

I still got rhythm, but look

Who could ask for

Who could ask for

I'm so happy

Keep the number mounting

Got my guy

Now, however

More is better

But nothing's better than

One is fun

And if you like two

And if you like four

If you got a little

Add a bit and it'll

Every jot and tittle

Soon you've got the kit

Never say when

If it's gonna rain

Happy with ten

If you like a penny

Or does that sound

That's not greed

That's just stocking

You gotta fill your cupboard

Each possession

Helps your spirits

That's what's soothing
