but you.

So, open it, and God bless you.

You mean...

Sure, it's your union card.

I don't know what to say.

Say it with a drink, Dutch.

Come on, we're buyin' Dutch Muller

a drink.

Atta boy! What are you havin', Dutch?

What are you gonna do

with all that money, Dutch?

Maybe I'll buy a taillight for you

to hang on Hattie or something.

Here's how, boys.

That's the way to go, Dutch.

Hey, Dutch.

Huh?

What do you want?

I don't know, I just thought...

Go on, beat it.

You think I'm in the dough again. You're sulking around

for more nickels. Go on home, beat it!

Be ready for another one

in a minute boys.

So, what have you decided, son?

I never thought she'd do it.

I didn't expect this.

What're you gonna do about little Dutchy?

You can't go traipsin' all over the world

bein' chased with him on your hands.

If Dutch changes...

You'll take care of the kid,

won't you, Lil?

We'll send for him as soon as Dutch

gets his break...

You seen him?

Yeah.

You seen him, Jimmy, what did he say?

Is he coming?

He's laughing it up over at the Fairy Queen.

But he's coming, ain't he?

You told him, didn't you?

Yeah, I told him, Hat, but...

He just told me to beat it and get out.

Then he started drinking with the rest

just like he was a big shot again.

Well, there's your Dutch for ya.

Hard like a harpoon.

No. If he knows I'm here, he'll come.

He's gotta come.

Hey, Dutch, listen

Aw, shut up.

Hello, Dutch.

Hey, Dutch, what's the idea?

Oh, he's crazy.

Where'd he go?

Out the window.

So that's it. I bust out of jail for him,

now he's a big shot again

and he won't come near me.

What does he think I bust out of,

a cracker box?

Him and his fine spiel about

grabbing breakfast off them trees.

I knew he wouldn't come.

Of all the big welchin', swolen-headed,

low lifes that I've ever...

Dutch!

Take what you need from my closet

and I'll watch out for the cops.

Oh, I knew you'd come, Dutch.

Hello, squirt.

Hello, squirt.

Oh, I dreamed about you sayin' that.

Like you used to when I woke up

in the mornings.

Yeah, that's right, squirt.

Hey, what happened?

Who done that to you?

That's nothin', that's nothin'.

Gee, we can't stand here talking,

we gotta go.

Bert's wise, I took a powder on him.

He's liable to...

Well, then they're after you.

Come on, they'll be here in a minute.

Wait a minute, squirt.

There's something I gotta tell ya.

Tell me later. You got some dough?

We gotta have dough to get out of here.

Oh, yeah, I got some dough,

Nick gave it to me, a hundred slugs.

Look, I got my union card, too.

The fellas gave it back to me.

Kinda funny now, ain't it?

Listen, squirt...

You won't need no union card...

That's what I wanna talk to you about.

What are we gonna do there?

Anything. Who's gonna stop you?

If you wanna, you can start a revolution

or something.

Get to be a general, or even a president.

But it's awful near here, squirt,

they might catch us and bring us back.

You ain't trying to pull a powder on me,

are you?

Oh, squirt, don't be daffy.

While I was resting my chin on them bars

up there...

you wasn't doin' the same

on some dame's neck, was ya?

So that's it. You went and got tied up.

Oh, shut up, squirt,

it's been you all along...

Yeah, me lost in the back of

that big square head of yours...

Listen, I'm goin' with ya, you understand?

Now quit your hollering 'cause there's

something I gotta tell ya.

I just want you to know that...

that ain't the big shot

I thought I was, see?

Belcher kept tellin' me I was Trotsky

or somebody, but I ain't see?

I couldn't be a general, or even president.

I know what I am now.

I'm just the best tuna fisherman

on this coast.

And I'm still knock the nut off of any guy

who thinks he's big enough to say that I ain't.

And that's all.

Oh, that's enough.

Well, I just wanted you to know what

you were going away with, that's all.

That's all I want.

I ain't goin' away with ya.

What did you break out for?

'Cause I love you, Dutch.

And I'd have followed you

to Mexico or Timbuktu, right or wrong.

But now it's a cinch.

But Hat, we gotta get outta here.

What's the matter, have you gone crazy?

No, I...

Listen to that, I tell you, we gotta hide.

No, 'cause I'm going back to jail.

Hat, you're stir crazy, what's the matter...

Will you shut that kid up.

I never knew Lil to have a brat that didn't squawk

at the wrong time.

Don't you touch that baby!

But we gotta...

Because he's mine and yours, you big chump.

Huh?

Little Dutchy.

That's what I went up north to tell you about

that time when you ran out on me.

And besides, you said you didn't like kids.

Who said I didn't like kids.

I'm nuts about 'em.

Gosh.

And you can start teaching him to be

the best tuna fisherman on the coast, Dutch.

Gee, he's pink.

He's awful pink.

And all electric, too, eh?

Yeah.

Gee, I never seen such a good-lookin' kid.

He kinda looks like me, too, don't he?

Oh, please, Bert, you ain't gonna...

You heard what she said.

She ain't runnin' away.

But I gotta, Lil.

Aw, gee, not now.

Well, can you put me up for the night?

Sure, Pops ain't never home.

I'll put you in his room.
