Man In The Vault Page #2

- Morning, Tommy.

- Morning.

- May we come in?

- Sure. Sure, come on in.

You left the party early last night.

- I guess I did.

- Too bad.

- Things got quite lively after you left.

- I'll say they did.

- This dame stuck her foot in...

- Louie.

- And started taking off her...

- Louie!

Find the kitchen.

Make Tommy some coffee.

- Sure. Sure, Mr. Trent.

- Here. It's in there.

You'll have to excuse Louie.

Like all prizefighters,

he gets carried away at times.

Look, I think I'll wash up.

It will only take a minute.

Go right ahead, Tommy.

Don't let us bother you.

- Tommy?

- Yeah?

How would you like

to go to work for me?

Wait a minute. I can't hear you.

What did you say?

I said, how would you like

to go to work for me?

I need a man for a job, Tommy.

- Key job.

- Another one?

I'm willing to pay him $5,000.

- For one job?

- For one job.

That's a lot of money.

You know anything about

safety deposit boxes, Tommy?

Not very much. Why?

I was thinking

you might open one for me.

One that is, shall we say,

well worth looking into.

It doesn't belong to you.

Unfortunately, no.

And you'd like me

to make a key for you, right?

Wrong. You have to make two keys.

The bank's as well.

It's quite simple.

All you have to do is to rent a safety

deposit box at this particular bank.

What if I get caught?

- That's a chance we have to take.

- We?

I kind of get the feeling

I'd be taking all the chances.

You're being paid, remember?

$5,000.

Tax-free.

It's more than I make in a whole year.

Well, Tommy?

No, thanks.

Mr. Trent, I've been half expecting

something like this...

since the first time I saw you

at the bowling alley.

That footlocker was the clincher.

- Oh?

- Yeah.

You didn't need a key.

It was already open.

Seems I haven't been giving you

enough credit, Tommy.

You're way ahead of me.

Far enough to know

you got the wrong boy.

You know, I may do

a lot of things I shouldn't...

but breaking into safety deposit boxes

isn't one of them.

You may be making a mistake, Tommy.

Well, that's a chance I'll have to take.

- You sure you won't change your mind?

- I'm sure.

Well, there's no harm in asking.

Or was there?

See you.

Hey, wait a minute!

Well, lady!

"Well," yourself!

Now see what you made me go and do.

Where do you think

you're going with my stole?

I was bringing it back to you.

- You left in such a rush last night...

- I don't wanna talk about last night.

Look, if you'll just give me the stole.

I'm in a hurry.

Thank you.

Wait a minute.

I drive all the way across town...

just to be a nice guy,

and you won't even be civil.

I suppose you were civil last night?

What did I do? I kissed you. You're

trying to make a federal case out of it.

I assure you,

I'm not trying to make anything out of it.

All right, so I got a little bit out of line.

- "A little!"

- Well, I'm sorry.

I bet you are.

What do you want me to do?

Cut my throat?

That's not such a bad idea.

Here, let me help.

- I can manage, thank you.

- Move over.

- I said that I can...

- I heard you. Move over.

There's one thing I hate to see

is a woman run her battery down.

Just don't ever leave your fur

at my place again, or I'll sell it.

Tommy.

Yeah?

I'm sorry.

Thank you for bringing back my stole.

That's all right. I guess we've both

been acting like a couple of kids.

You're not really

what you pretend to be, are you?

I guess I'm not.

Neither am I.

Good-bye.

Hey, Betty, Grover's key shop.

It's in the book.

Should any provisions

of this agreement be void...

or unenforceable...

the rest of the agreement

shall remain in full.

Yes?

There's a Mr. Trent to see you,

Mr. Farraday.

- Trent!

- He said it's important.

Well, you tell Mr. Trent...

- Never mind. Tell him to come in.

- Yes, sir.

- That will be all for now, Miss Miles.

- Yes, sir.

Good morning.

- I told you never to come here.

- I know.

But this visit was unavoidable.

- Now look, Trent. I meant what I said.

- Sit down!

There's no need to get upset, Farraday.

You're my lawyer. I need some advice.

I told you last night the deal's off.

Remember?

Is it?

You know you can't go through with it

while De Camp is in town.

Can't I?

- No, I won't let you.

- You won't let me?

The number of the box, the name

of the bank. That's all I want from you.

It's as simple as that.

If I don't get them from you...

Paul De Camp is going to find out

it isn't only his legal affairs you handle.

You wouldn't want that to happen,

now, would you?

Yes.

Mr. Farraday,

Mr. De Camp is in the office.

De Camp?

- Tell him that I'll...

- Tell him what, Farraday?

Come in, darling.

Paul.

Hello, Paul.

I didn't know you were back in town.

Didn't you?

Hello, Miss Brant.

Mr. Farraday.

Hello, Paul.

When did you get back?

Yesterday.

- You should've let me know, Paul...

- Look, Farraday...

I didn't come up here on a social call.

Look, Louie, I think

we better get out of here.

No, wait.

We might as well have this out

once and for all.

I don't think I understand.

Then I'll spell it out for you.

I don't want you around.

Paul, I don't think I like that.

You're going to like this even less.

You and your strongarm tactics

are out of date.

You're nothing but a cheap hoodlum.

That's all you ever will be.

You seem to forget we started together.

I'm far from an honest man...

but I worked my way up to the curb.

You've never been able

to get out of the gutter.

Stay away from me, Trent.

Now get out.

I don't know just what to do, mi chiquita

Your papa is married me, mi chiquita

Of course I want to marry you

just because I said I didn't work for you

I will give you all my love, mi chiquita

When we marry

you will have your casita

I will sing for you this song

And of course we'll have

our siesta all day long

You'll be Gonzales

just like your lover

You'll be Gonzales,

like my father and my mother

If we go bowling

the more the merry

Why keep on waiting

Let's forget and let's get married

Here's your key, Pedro.

My boss, he always loses his key.

So he always use my keys.

What's your rush?

They're all having a big playoff

over at the bowling alley.

And I have to go back

and set up the pins.

Playoffs in the afternoon?

The teams are make

out of a bunch of seores...

who cannot play at nights.

They shift work, from one to the other...

in a cemetery.

You mean the graveyard shift.

I think I almost forgot.

Tonight, I gonna make a lot of money.

I going to be in television.

You are?

You Bet Your Life.

What's the name of the show?

I'll look for it.

You Bet Your Life.

Grover lock and key.

Tommy, this is Betty Turner.

Well, hi.

Hi.

I was just wondering...

are you busy tonight?

I've got a date, naturally,

but I can break it.

Could you?

Well, I'll see if I can arrange it.

Good, then I'll pick you up about 8:00.

- Good-bye.

- Bye.

Why did you decide to come up here?

I don't know,

it's kind of peaceful and quiet.
