Johnny Dangerously Page #6

---

Sure, why not?

It's the first picture ever taken of me...

...so make it a good one.

All right. Thank you.

Empty your pockets, Johnny.

Wait a minute, my cigarette case.

I can't find my cigarette case.

- Maybe it's in another suit.

- No.

- Did you leave it in your car?

- No.

Sometimes when I shave,

I put it on the sink.

No, it's my good luck piece.

I never go anywhere without it.

Whoever has my cigarette case

bumped off the commissioner.

Excuse me. Johnny, I came as soon

as I heard. I brought your bail money.

I hate to disappoint you, little lady.

Johnny's being held without bail.

By whose orders?

The man who's gonna prosecute you...

...the DA himself.

I suppose this is what

you call going legit?

I was set up. Find my cigarette case

and you'll find the guy who did it.

Oh, come on. There are a million

cigarette cases out there.

But only one has a

bullet dent and smells like gum.

Johnny, don't say anything

until you get a lawyer.

- I can handle my own brother.

- Wait a minute. You mean you and he...?

- That's right. Me and him is brothers.

- We were brothers.

Brothers!

Hey, wait. Hey!

Yo!

- Is that the city edition?

- What?

I said, is that the city edition?

Oh, no. Son of a b*tch.

Now Im deaf.

He's guilty. He's guilty!

Mrs. Kelly.

- Get this side. It's my best side.

- Anything to say?

Truthfully, Ive got mixed feelings.

Thrilled for Tommy, sad for Johnny.

Sorry, fellas, no comment. This is

the toughest thing Ive ever had to do.

I'm sure you boys can understand.

Nice work in there Mr. DA.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm Danny Vermin.

I was associated with your brother.

I just want to thank you personally

for sending him to the hot seat.

Watch this. Johnny taught me this.

You shouldn't kick me in the balls.

My sister kicked me in the balls once.

Look, Mom.

- It's Johnny's cigarette case...

...the one he was talking about.

- That's mine.

This is my brother's cigarette case.

Johnny didn't do it.

I'm gonna get you, Vermin,

if it's the last thing I do.

It just might be, Mr. DA.

Johnny ain't guilty.

And you sent him to the big house.

- It's an honor to have you on death row.

- The pleasure's all mine.

- Hi, pops. Still here, huh?

You bet.

They finally got you, huh, Brooklyn?

- Louie. How are you? You look great.

You're beautiful, Johnny.

Listen, why don't you go out

and get the boys some quiche.

- Johnny, this is my best guard, Tony.

Hi, Tony. How are you?

I think you took a shot at me one time.

Hey, I never forget a gun.

Come on, guys.

We gonna do this or what?

- There's nothing left. Look.

- Finest metal, good holes...

I keep telling you, Howard,

the boy needs a role model.

- Rocky, Im so horny.

- Me too.

Vermin's turning the place into a dive.

It's attracting the worst elements.

- That son of a...

And Johnny...

Don't tell me. He put in a salad bar.

No. He's making a play for me.

Wait a minute,

that's just what we want.

I gotta prove he framed me.

Lil, I want you to play up to him.

- But, Johnny...

- No "buts. " Keep your eyes and ears open.

First thing you hear, you get it

to me on the grapevine. You got it?

- Got it.

- Attagirl.

Come here.

Next time, Ill bring a can opener.

- Good idea.

Yo!

I can hear again, and I can see.

I can hear again, and I can see!

But who am I?

Tommy, please take a break

and eat something.

- I won't eat until I save my brother.

- Keep up the good work, Governor Kelly.

- It's governor, is it?

- That's just cheap talk, Mom.

Anybody that would send his own

brother to the hot seat gets my vote.

I've been trying night and day

to prove Johnny's innocence.

If I leave it to you,

Johnny'll fry in the chair like his father.

Well, your old mom just might

have something for you tonight.

Who is it?

Open up. It's Ma Kelly.

- What do you want? Get out of here.

I gotta talk to you.

- We don't have nothing to say.

We've got plenty to say.

- We've got a lot in common.

- Like what?

We both scrub floors, we're swell

lookers and neither of us is Chinese.

You've been doing your homework.

What do you want?

How much will it take

for you to tell the truth?

19,500.

Boy, am I having a good year.

What's the matter, you got no manners?

Send me a bill for the door.

You don't even wait for the body

to get cold, do you?

I go where the action is.

Where's your mom?

Did you send her up the river too?

What do you want, Mr. DA?

And make it quick.

There's a subpoena out for you.

I wanted to serve it myself.

- Subpoena? You ain't got a thing on me.

- Oh, no?

Does the name Mary Margaret Catherine

Dineen strike a familiar chord?

- I'm tone deaf.

- Too bad...

...because she's singing like a canary,

and we got her in her own cage.

It's gonna be my pleasure

to send you to the chair.

Come on, boys. Let's go.

I don't like the smell in here.

The cleaning dame will spill her guts,

and we can't get to her.

- But we can get to him.

- How, boss?

Don't you listen to the radio?

The governor and DA

Kelly will attend the premiere of the new...

...James Cagney movie tomorrow night.

Should be clear skies tomorrow night as

the governor and DA Tommy Kelly...

...attend the new James Cagney movie.

Which theater?

The Savoy, on 37th.

It'll be like shooting ducks in a pond.

Once we knock the DA off...

...that cleaning dame

will clam up just fine.

Get this to Johnny on the grapevine:

Vermin's going to kill Johnny's brother

at the Savoy theater tomorrow night.

- Got it?

Got it.

Vermin's going to kill Johnny's

brother at the Savoy theater. Pass it on.

Vermin's going to kill Johnny's

brother at the Savoy. Pass it on.

Vermin's going to kill Johnny's

mother at the Savoy. Pass it on.

Vermin's mother is gonna kill Johnny

at the Savoy. Pass it on.

- Urgent message through the grapevine.

- Yeah? What is it?

Johnny and the Mothers are playing

"Stomping at the Savoy" in Vermont.

Vermin's gonna kill my brother

at the Savoy theater tonight.

- I didn't say that.

- No, but I know this grapevine.

I gotta get out of here.

Guard! Come here!

- Yeah?

- Smell that food. I think it's rotten.

- What's all this about, Johnny?

- I can't take it anymore! I'm cracking up!

Fry me tonight!

The waiting's driving me crazy!

- You've still got two more weeks.

- I don't want them!

- Fry me tonight!

- Okay, Johnny. Anything for you.

We'll bump Steinberg.

Dangerously will go to the chair tonight.

Everyone who is

anyone is here tonight...

...including Mr. Crime Fighter himself,

District Attorney Tommy Kelly.

They're talking about you as

our next governor.

That's nice, but right now all I care

about is proving my brother's innocence.

Johnny, if you're listening,

I love you.

Your turn, Johnny.

The priest you requested has arrived.

Are you ready, my son?

- I'm ready if you are, Father.

So long, Johnny.

Me gust of us. You gust of us.

We missed the bus.

They missed the bus.

Be brave, Johnny.

- When's the next bus?
