Lady Killer Page #6

That we thought maybe you could invite

us to the homes of the movie stars...

...so we could kind of look around.

And with an introduction from you,

that'd be all we'd need.

Uh-huh. An introduction from me, huh?

Well, now listen to this,

and listen carefully.

I've been doing all right in this

movie racket, and I'm still on the climb.

And I did it all myself

without any help from you.

When I did need your help, and badly,

what'd you do?

You blew town with my 5000 bucks.

Well, I don't need you now.

So my advice to you

is to get out of town and get out quick.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

We're gonna stay and operate.

You're gonna help us and like it.

You play ball or we'll bust your bubble

so quick it'll make your head spin.

- And there's nothing you can do about it.

- Oh.

There's nothing I can do about it, huh?

Well, I'm telling all four of you

to haul your freight...

...or I'll have the cops on your neck.

Go on, get out of here.

The cops'll have as much on you

as they have on us. We'll see to that.

You better see it our way, Dan.

Well...

...I'll tell you what I'll do.

I've got 10 grand.

That's all I have in the world.

And you can take it all,

if you promise me one thing.

- What is it?

- That you'll get out of town and stay out.

We'll take you up on that.

Just as a favor to an old pal.

- You mean for auld lang syne.

- Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Uh... Where would you like us

to go from here?

Need I say?

- Thank you.

- When are you leaving?

- As soon as we cash the check.

- Mm-hm.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye, dear.

- Thanks, Danny.

- So long, Dan.

If you ever come back east,

look us up.

Good morning, Lady Agatha.

You're looking very lovely this morning.

Are you feeling any better

after last night? Mm!

You're not.

Oh, come on,

now, be reasonable, will you?

- Give a guy a chance to explain.

- Will you please go away?

I don't know how that dame got in.

I threw her out

two minutes after you left.

Will you believe me?

She doesn't mean anything to me.

I don't wanna hear any more about her.

And please, please go away.

All right.

If that's the way you feel about it.

I'm sorry.

Let us think of your characterization.

You're a lovely English lady

of charm and sweetness.

You are married and you have taken

to yourself a lover, an Italian lover...

...that has swept you off your feet.

He is in your thought, even now.

You are expecting him to come to see you

on this lovely garden.

You are thrilled even to think

that he'll be near you.

Presently, he enters.

As he comes toward you,

you rush into his arms...

...and he seizes you in a tight embrace.

He has just come from dinner

given him by his countrymen.

The food is heavily seasoned with a lot

of spices and garlic. Lots of garlic.

By the first kiss,

you are overcome by the odor.

The second kiss,

romance and love fly out of the window.

And in the third kiss,

you want to go back to your husband.

Now, that's the scene

we're going to take.

- Property man.

- Yes, sir.

Give me a piece of garlic, quick.

- You're not gonna use real garlic.

- Yes, real garlic.

In all my pictures

everything must be real.

Here's your garlic.

Thank you.

Are you ready?

We'll take it. Light the moon.

Are you ready?

Start your action.

- Does your husband know?

- He suspects nothing.

Oh, darling, we can't go on like this.

If I but knew that you loved me,

I might have the courage to carry on...

...but to see you for so short a time

brings torture to my heart.

I live only for you.

I breathe only for you.

Darling.

And why do you turn away?

Oh, do tell me that you love me.

This is all so sudden I can hardly speak.

You cry when we are so happy?

It's the moonlight...

...the fragrance of the night...

...it overwhelms me.

Cut. Very good.

Hey, look at that.

Come on,

we're going to learn something.

How are you, mister?

- How do you do? Can I show you around?

- Why, yes.

We thought we'd like to see

the homes of the film stars...

...before we go back east.

- We're from Youngstown, Ohio.

- Is that so?

I can show you the houses

of all the picture stars.

They live in Beverly Hills.

Any particular one you'd like to see?

No, no, we just thought

we'd like to see them all.

My kid sister here

just got out of boarding school.

She's kind of sweet on Dick Barthelmess.

Ain't you, sis? Ha-ha-ha.

Well, all the girls at school are.

A bunch of tourists I took out this

morning got a flash of Lupe Alvarez, uh...

...taking a sunbath.

- Come on.

- Yeah?

- Is that right?

- This is...

Pardon me.

- Hi.

- Oh, hello, Joe.

I thought that touch was familiar.

Do you know anything about this?

- Why ask me?

- Well, this job has all the earmarks...

...of that gang you were mixed up with

in New York.

I don't know a thing.

I've got it pretty straight that Spade

Maddock and Duke and Smiley are in town.

And I've got a hunch that some finger man

is tipping them off.

- Have you seen any of them?

- No.

Do you know where they're hiding out?

- Same answer.

- I think you're lying.

You know more than you're telling.

Now, listen, you had me on the carpet

a year ago:

I told you then I was on the level.

I still am.

Now, lay off me, will you?

All right, you don't need to

get sore about it.

Watch that chandelier, now, Mike.

You mind if I tell how sweet you look?

Calling Car 61. Calling Car 61.

Go to Sunset and Harper. Pick up a drunk.

He's annoying passersby. That is all.

- Who is it?

Telegram.

Well, how do you do?

- Where are they?

- Where's who?

Calling all cars. Calling all cars.

Investigate holdup

at 2411 Roxbury Hills Drive.

See Miss Lois Underwood.

Bandits escaped in Buick sedan,

color:
Black, yellow wheels.

License number 5J, J like in June, 4651.

Take no chances. The bandits are armed.

That is all.

Ha. It was a cinch.

Worth 15 grand if it's worth a nickel.

- Get over there.

Come on.

Back up.

And put that down.

I thought you said

you were leaving town.

I believe there was some talk about that.

Uh-huh.

We made an agreement

and you didn't keep it.

This is a showdown.

With you guys in town

I'm due to take a fall.

And I'm not gonna take it alone.

Wrap that up.

Wrap it up!

Give it to me.

I'm gonna return this...

...and then I'm coming back.

And if you're still here,

it's gonna be you or me.

You want those guys in there.

- You're wasting a lot of time.

- Come over here, you.

Come on.

All right, all right, I admit all that.

You found me in their joint with a gun.

But I had nothing to do with the job.

This stolen stuff was in your possession.

I admit that too. I was trying

to return it to Miss Underwood.

Miss Underwood,

was this man at your house this evening?

No, I left him. He was to join me later.

Then you don't know

where he was at that time?

No.

With your record

and early connection with this mob...

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

I have no record.

Get that through your thick copper nut.
