Mikey and Nicky Page #2

then they're gonna find you.

Especially in the place

you picked to hide out in.

- You're eight blocks from the office.

- You said they weren't looking for me.

- But you said you knew they were.

- You said they weren't looking for me.

Which way do you want it, Nick...

they're looking for you or they're not?

- They're looking for me.

- Then let's go.

Because two days of looking

gives them a hell of an edge.

- You got any clothes you wanna take?

- I don't feel good.

- I don't feel good at all.

- Goddamn it!

What's the matter?

Open the window, quick.

Open the window, quick! Mikey!

- What's the matter?

- Gotta get some cold air in here.

- They're not gonna find you...

- Gotta get outta here.

I can't breathe.

There's no air in this room.

Gotta get out.

I'm gonna get outta here.

Come on. Come on.

Get.

Come on. Come on!

- Come on!

- You're gonna wake up the whole place.

- Which way... stairs or elevator?

- The elevator.

Stairs. Come on!

- You're ridiculous.

- Would you go out there, first?

- Yes, I will go out first.

- Will you go out first?

Yes, I will go out first.

But there is nobody there.

I'm the only one

that knows you're here.

- Then why don't you go out first?

- I'm going out first.

Wait a minute.

- What's the matter?

- Will you wear my jacket?

- Huh?

- Will you wear my jacket?

What do you think...

I'm fingering you?

No. But you don't believe there's

anyone out there. I do.

So, if I'm right,

why won't you wear my jacket?

Give it to me.

- Here you are.

- Here you are.

- Here's my coat.

- Are you tired?

Make sure you put that on

because it's damp outside.

Give me your coat. You want me

to wear this too, don't you?

Sure.

You want me to leave this open

so they can see the jacket?

- No, that won't be necessary.

- Fine.

Why bother?

There's no one out there, right?

- Can I have your watch?

- You wanna wear my watch?

I'll be very careful. I want it

for luck. It's just for luck.

All right, I'll let you wear my watch.

Will you let me carry your gun?

- What for?

- For luck.

If somebody thinks I'm you

and they shoot at me

it'd be lucky if I could shoot back.

Put this on.

I don't want you to catch cold.

You catch a cold on top of

your ulcer, that's all I need.

There's the gun.

Go ahead.

There's the gun.

You're crazy.

Here's the watch.

- Okay.

- All right.

We'll have to

go away from here.

- You all right?

- I don't know.

All right?

That's right.

Right.

Very good.

B and O.

Initials B and O, right?

Okay. Second and what?

All right, all right.

I got ya. Second Street. All right.

Second and South.

Hold it.

All right. He's wearing

a dark raincoat? A dark navy.

All right. Now, I've got

some instructions to give you.

I figure 15, 20 minutes from here.

That depends on how bad the traffic is.

All right, now, when they get

to Second and South

I'll call the B and O Tavern

I let the phone ring three times.

You understand that?

When you hear the phone ring

I want you out of the bar

on the street.

When you're on the street,

I'm gonna make my move.

I don't want to spend more than ten

minutes out on that street, understand?

Florida. Florida.

Nick?

There's very little

that goes out at night.

T.W.A. No, that's tomorrow.

American. That's tomorrow

to San Francisco.

There's one T.W.A. At 11:00.

I don't want to go to the airport.

- You don't want to go to the airport.

- No.

He could have

the whole airport surrounded.

Nick

He would have to hire an army.

Do you know what it would cost

to cover an entire airport?

Plus the cost of the contract.

You're not worth it.

I don't want to go to the airport.

What do you want to do?

You want to take a train?

- Why can't you drive?

- Where?

I don't know. Where am I goin'?

Wherever I'm goin'.

Gotta rent a car.

- See him pull a gun on me?

- Come on, he doesn't have a gun.

Car rental garages don't open

till morning.

Jesus.

Tough night, isn't it?

You want me to get in touch with Jan

after you're gone, tell her you're okay?

- Jan left me.

- She did?

- Yeah.

- I didn't know that.

Took the kid

and moved to her mother's.

Jesus Christ. That's terrible.

Yeah.

I'll get her back.

If I live long enough.

- Where you goin'?

- I'm gonna put something on the box.

There's a garden

What a garden

- Second and South?

- Second and South.

- And South?

- Correct, yeah.

South is not in that direction, sir.

It's this direction, due north.

Sixth Street, next street is Seventh.

You got to go this direction.

- Okay. Thanks.

- You're goin' the wrong way.

You go half a block east

and you're at Broadway...

- Have a drink. Aw, come on.

- No.

How much do I owe you?

Seventy? Keep it.

- How's Annie?

- Fine.

- Yeah?

- Fine, yeah.

She asks about you.

- How's the kid?

- Oh, the kid's terrific. Terrific.

- Kid's big as a truck.

- Yeah?

Beats up all the other kids

in the nursery school.

Beats up.

Must be tough.

He's enormous.

How's your kid?

Must be what?

- Five months now?

- She's five months, yeah. Got teeth.

- Really? That's something.

- Yeah.

- She's a terrific kid. Holds my thumb.

- That's cute.

- Who's she look like?

- Okay. Let's go. Come on.

- Where you going?

- Come on.

- Where you going?

- I wanna go to Jan's.

- Now?

- I wanna say good-bye.

I'd like to say good-bye

to the kid too.

They don't see you for a while,

they forget your face.

Nick, that's crazy.

- Come on. Let's go.

- Wait. Let me finish my beer.

Sure, buddy.

Go ahead. No hurry.

The hell with her.

Who needs her?

- Hot in here, huh?

- Yeah.

- You okay? Your stomach okay?

- Fine.

Eat some crackers.

Was that the phone?

I don't know.

You expecting a call?

What?

Nothing.

That would be funny, wouldn't it?

Some guy using a bar as an office.

I gotta get outta here.

Where you goin'?

Wait a minute.

- I'm goin'.

- I haven't finished my beer.

- You finish your beer. I'm goin'.

- I gotta call the car rental.

Wait a minute!

Nick, you're goin' crazy over...

- You're like a maniac.

- I couldn't breathe in there.

All of a sudden jump up.

It's like a maniac.

No air in there.

You know that feeling?

- Goddamn it now.

- You don't have that feeling?

- I don't want to call you on this.

- That's a famous feeling.

I came over, you tell me

they're after you, I'm here.

I'll do what I can, everything.

Listen to me, for Christ's sake!

I'll do whatever I can,

but I cannot do it by myself.

- I gotta call the car now.

- Wanna go to a party?

I got a meetin'.

- Hey, I mean with a girl.

- What do you mean?

What are you talking about?

Nick, don't be...

- Come on.

- What's the matter with you?

- I know a terrific girl.

- Where are you running to?

What the hell is

the matter with you?

- Got a terrific form.

- One girl, right?

Where does she live?

Where does she live. Is it far?

On Hall and Tenth Street!

Wait a minute.

What are you running? She'll wait.

- Do we have to run?

- Wanna go to a movie?
