One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
At ease.
Now, men, Mr. Jeffries
has something important to say to you.
Boys, I've been managing
picture theaters for a long time.
This is the neatest and best-drilled
company of ushers I've ever seen.
But some are not measuring up...
...to the necessary standards
of discipline that I insist upon.
I won't mention any names.
This is merely a friendly warning
that any usher caught chewing gum...
...during the performance of duty
will be dismissed.
I also have a report that a certain usher
is making a habit...
...of using the men's lavatory on the
mezzanine floor for dice and crap games.
This must stop.
I think I've made myself clear.
That's all.
Keep an eye on them, Seymour.
Company, attention.
Fall out for five minutes.
Oh, Quigley.
Come here.
I've already warned you
Look at yourself.
Well, what's your excuse this time?
Walking around on my knees
to give my arches a rest.
Let me see your hands.
Ever try using soap and water?
Let me see the other one.
I thought so.
You heard what Mr. Jeffries said.
That's your last warning.
If you're late again you'll be dismissed.
Feature goes on in 15 minutes.
Seats in the balcony only.
Stairway to the right, please.
"Coming:
Edward G. Robinsonin Dark Hazard. "
- We've gotta get a load of that guy.
- Yeah, he's not bad.
You got a Mickey Mouse
on the bill today?
No, not today.
What, no Mickey Mouse?
- No, no Mickey Mouse.
- Why?
He's making a personal appearance
in Jersey City.
Oh, you're trying to kid somebody, huh?
- Ha-ha-ha.
- Come on, Slug, let's get our dough back.
I'm sorry,
but you can't take the dog inside.
- Fido wouldn't make a bit of trouble.
- Sorry, but it's against the rules.
I'll have you understand
I'm not a madam.
Well, I wouldn't know about that.
I'm sorry.
- Take your hands off me.
- What's the trouble here?
- The lady has a dog.
- You needn't have been so rude about it.
Poor Fido, did he hurt-um?
- May I take your dog?
- No.
I'll give him back to you
after the performance.
You're sure you'll take good care of him?
- Certainly.
- Thanks.
That's the second complaint I've had
in five minutes.
- I must be slowing up.
- I think we can get along without you.
- Aw, you hurt me.
- Turn in your uniform.
Listen, Fido,
this guy's got a wooden leg.
Try it sometime.
I dub you lieutenant.
Uh-huh. Did it again.
That's four pairs in a row.
If this keeps up,
I'm gonna buy you a fur coat.
- What kind do you want?
- Mink.
You'll take rabbit and like it.
And that's no...
Am I aggrieved.
Well, better luck next time.
Mm.
What lovely weather we're having.
Excuse me, I've gotta see a patient.
- Taxi?
- Uh...
No, no, uh...
That dame just dropped this purse.
- Well, I'll see that she gets it.
- Uh-uh, uh-uh. Ha-ha.
No, I think she'd like me to have it.
What is it?
Yeah, you're the doll.
You dropped this in the Randolph Hotel.
- I tried to catch you, but you were too fast.
- Oh, thank you.
I didn't miss it until I got home.
I wondered where I lost it.
Won't you, uh, come in a minute?
Who could say no?
Oh, it's all there.
All I wanted was the card.
I didn't mean it that way.
I was looking for a reward for you,
but I'm afraid I haven't got enough.
Who said anything about dough?
Well, uh, at least sit down
and have a drink.
Why not make it two? One for you.
- Well, I'll have a little one.
- Good. Heh.
How much?
Oh, about two ounces.
One for each kidney.
Here.
Oh, uh, chaser?
- Always have been.
- Oh...
Funny fella.
I beg your pardon.
I didn't know you had company.
Oh, that's all right. I lost my purse
and this gentleman returned it.
Oh, uh, what did you say your name was?
Well, I guess I can tell it here.
Dan Quigley.
- Irish?
- That's the rumor.
Well, Mr. Quigley, I want you to know
my brother-in-law, Mr. Maddock.
- Pleased to meet you.
- Same to you.
Uh-huh.
You've got a game going on in there.
Yes, just a five-cent ante,
three of the boys from my lodge.
Do you mind if I kiss myself in,
make it five-handed?
Not at all.
New customer might change my luck.
All right, swell.
Sorry, but you know how it is.
- Go ahead.
- May make the price of a fur coat.
Who can tell? Ha-ha-ha.
A pair of queens for Quigley
and an ace showing for me.
Beat the queens.
I'll fold.
- Not for me.
Here goes my stack.
Bullets.
That last ace came in handy.
That cleans me. I'll be drifting along.
- Too bad you had rotten luck.
- You can't draw tough cards all your life.
You played a good game,
but you just didn't have them.
Well, better luck next time, Quigley.
- No squawk. Be seeing you.
Sure.
- Any luck?
- Yeah, plenty. All bad.
I think I'll stick to checkers.
Well, thanks for returning my purse.
- Come up again sometime.
- You mean when I can stay longer?
All right, baby.
Keep a light burning in the window.
- So long.
- Goodbye.
Uh, pardon me.
Does Miss Myra Gale live on this floor?
Why, yes, she lives right in there.
But she's not in now.
Anything I can do?
I'm her brother-in-law.
Well, I found her purse.
She lost it in a florist shop on
Fifth Avenue, so I came to return it.
Yes, I see. That's nice of you.
Well, I'll be glad to take it
and give it back to her.
And I'll see that you get a reward.
No, no, thanks. That's all right.
I'm glad to have been of service.
- You'll see that she gets it?
- Oh, yes, yes.
- I sure will.
- Thank you.
- Wouldn't you like to leave your name?
- No, that's all right.
All right.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Hello. You dropped your purse.
Played me for a sucker, huh?
Trying to pull a fast one.
I'm wise to you.
Kick back with my dough.
Don't get excited. Let's talk.
Talk nothing over. Your game is crooked.
I want my dough.
You lost your money in the game,
now get out of...
Kick back with my 50 bucks or I'll
fold your joint up like an accordion.
I'll squawk my head off
to every cop in town. Come on.
- Miss Myra Gale?
- Yes.
You dropped your purse
coming out of the beauty parlor.
I picked it up, called to you,
but I guess you didn't hear me.
Oh, that was sweet of you.
Thank you...
Oh, won't you come in for a moment?
Thank you.
All right, there's your 50 bucks.
Now get out of here.
No, I don't think I will.
Listen, boys,
I've got a little proposition to make.
There's another sucker out there
with another purse and a bankroll.
And I'm here.
What's it worth
to have me keep my trap shut?
- You've got your dough, now scram.
- Mm-mm.
I'm staying. You kick in with 10 percent
of what you take that chump for...
...or I'll go out and tip him off.
You'll keep your trap shut or...
Put that away
or I'll jam it down your throat.
Come on now, get smart.
You got a sweet racket here.
Maybe I can show you
