She Done Him Wrong Page #6

Funny-acting? What do you mean?

You're acting kind of funny.

Have I done anything you don't like?

No. Not exactly.

I tell you, Lou. I don't like this bird Stanieff

always hanging around you.

He's too sleek, too slippery.

Too polite to suit me.

So that's what's biting you.

Why, he don't mean nothing to me.

He's Rita's friend.

I wanted to make him feel at home.

Yeah? All right.

I guess I'm a jealous old fool.

They are valuable, ain't they, Gus?

Worth pretty nearly half a million.

Gonna get you a lot more of them soon.

He said they had no soul.

Who said?

That guy, Cummings.

So, you met a man who wouldn't fall for you?

Who wants him to fall?

Why, he'd be the kind

a woman'd have to marry to get rid of.

That sounds more like Dan Flynn.

You ain't heard anything about this copper

they call the Hawk, have you?

Just talk, why?

Flynn says he's spotting the place

day and night.

Flynn said that? What does he know?

I hope you ain't sending them giris

to the coast...

to become classy dips and burglars,

like Flynn thinks.

He can't knife me and get away with it.

Lou, I wanted to tell you...

You do that, Spider?

What?

Something I had to do,

and didn't have the time to do it...

and Spider did it for me.

Boss, there's a guy out here named McNeil,

he wants to cash a cheque.

McNeil? I don't know him.

By the way, have you seen Rita around?

Rita? Why, no.

I guess she'll come in later.

- I want to thank you Spider. It was great.

- I know.

- Lou, I'd do anything for you...

- I went through enough tonight.

- I gotta tell you...

- I gotta do my number.

Chick Clark is in the alley.

- Chick Clark?

- Yeah.

What do you want me to do with him, Lou?

Take him up the back way to my room.

I don't want the cops to get him.

- All right, Lou.

- I'll figure something out later.

All right, Lou.

Frankie and Johnny

were sweethearts

Oh, how they could love

Swore they'd be true to each other

True as the stars up above

He was her man

And he was doing her wrong

Frankie went down to the corner

To get a bucket of beer

Said to the man called the bartender

Have you seen my Johnny here?

He's my man

And he's doing me wrong

Ain't gonna tell you no stories

Ain't gonna tell you no lies

Saw your man Johnny leave

about an hour ago

With that girl named Nellie Bly

He's your man and he's doing you wrong

Frankie went round to that hot spot

Brought along a great big.44

She went inside and then she smiled

At Johnny on the floor

He was her man

And he was doing...

Stay back, you hear?

I'll plug the first one that moves.

Come on, men.

Come on, Lou. We've got to get out of here.

No time to talk now, come on.

You get off me!

Go on!

Through the tunnel.

Wait a minute.

- You.

- Why, what'd you...

Hold it!

I've waited a long time for this moment,

Jordan, and now I got you good.

- I am boss of this district.

- You're smart, but not smart enough.

That's the trouble with ward heelers like you.

Get a little political power,

you think you're king.

With bribes, petty favours

you think you're above the law.

It's not the mission talking now,

it's the U.S. Government.

- So, you're the Hawk.

- Yeah, that's what they call me.

Making and passing counterfeit money

is a federal offence.

Yeah, you and your crowd are due

for about 20 years in Atlanta.

Go on, boys, take him out of here.

I thought something...

Come on.

Lay off me.

Come on.

Wait a minute.

Say, what's going to happen to her?

Never mind, she'll be well taken care of.

Come on.

You, the Hawk.

A night bird working in the dark.

Stealing the confidence of people.

- The lowest kind of a thief.

- I'm sorry you think so.

Chief, I've got that other fellow out here,

you wanna look at him?

Come here.

- Is that the man?

- Yes, that's the man.

Thank you.

- Take him to headquarters.

- Come on.

Take care of the young lady till I get back.

- Where is she?

- Went out that way, sir.

Why did you let her?

- You double-crossed me.

- What do you mean?

- You planted me up here...

- You got me wrong.

...and sent that rat, Flynn, to get me,

but I got him first.

Now I'm gonna get you.

Wait.

Say your prayers, if you know any.

I'll meet you in...

Come on, get him out of here.

Those absolutely necessary?

You know, I wasn't born with them.

No, a lot of men would have been safer

if you had.

I don't know, hands ain't everything.

All right. Come on.

My wrap.

If you wanna help me, pick up my train.

Come on, get back.

Keep back.

Here she comes now.

Get back. Come on.

Sure, they got me, but they got you, too.

Chief, we got them all.

Yeah, all but the brass band.

Wait a minute, you forgot me.

Break it up, come on.

Clear out. Move along.

I think I'd have liked the wagon better.

I suppose you'd rather have the company

of your friends, such as they are.

You ain't exactly a pal.

Surely you don't mind my holding your hand.

It ain't heavy. I can hold it myself.

This is a dirty trick. I could get real sore.

If I didn't have a lot of self-control.

So have I, but I'm beginning to lose it.

You know, you remind me

of a glittering palace of ice.

I ain't ice.

I didn't say you were.

But your diamonds are all going

to the storehouse.

You said I had a soul.

I looked for it, but I didn't find it.

- You will.

- Where, in jail?

- No, that's not the place for you.

- You got me, ain't you?

Yeah, I got you. You're my prisoner.

And I'm gonna be your jailor for a long time.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

And you can start doing that stretch

right now.

Where did you get that...

dark and handsome?

You bad girl.

You'll find out.
