What's the matter with
Let's go.
Good night.
- So long, Fred.
- So long.
So long, slaughterhouse.
So long, Oscar.
Let's go over and get
a hunk of steak, huh?
Naw, I'm goin' home.
- So long.
- So long.
If you can get away from the
old lady, come on over.
Hey, barber dick--
where's the ball?
Johnny's in the back room.
The back room?
Hello, Johnny.
Hello, slaughterhouse.
Push the lard over, will you?
Hey, smelts!
Give me a gob of spaghetti.
Hey, and a bottle of cow
with it, will you?
Where you been for a week?
We got a swell job for you.
Swell job?
I got a swell job.
You know how much money
I made last week,
not counting overtime?
No.
35 bucks.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
And if I go back to
that pig-sticking thing,
I'll be knocking over 40 slugs
every Saturday night.
Yeah?
You're in a piker's game.
Yeah? All right.
I'd rather have a belly
full of guts anytime
than a belly full of lead.
Oh, Johnny?
Goin' out tonight?
Sure.
What of it?
Nothin', but...
Don't stay out too
long, honey, will you?
Go on. Go on,
cut the applesauce.
Hey, Johnny,
who's the missing link?
Gee, she's swell.
Is she hard to get
acquainted with, Johnny?
Nah.
But blondes come high.
Yeah.
How much we make
last week, gouger?
150 bucks.
$150?
Apiece?
Yeah.
Got a rod?
Sure.
Got it on you?
Sure.
If you're interested,
come on along.
Sure I will.
Good night, Johnny.
What's the matter with that guy?
He's a dummy.
Oh, that's smart.
Delano.
Hello, Johnny.
You been sellin' Alky
to Colimo's gang,
ain't you?
Aw, Johnny,
you don't think I would
sell out on you now?
So, you're gonna start
lying about it, eh?
I wouldn't think of
of tryin' it again
if I was you.
Go on, get busy.
Cops!
Come on!
See anything?
No, sir.
Didn't get out in the alley?
No, sir.
They're around here
somewhere, though.
Let's take a look.
Hey, Newton.
Mr. Newton!
We're in a jam.
You got to tell us what to do.
Turn on those lights.
Well, gentlemen,
what can I do for you?
The cops knocked over our still.
They got Delano. They'll
give him the works.
You think?
What if Delano rats on us?
Who is that?
That's an old pal of mine,
the guy I told you about.
He was with us,
and he thinks like--
oh...He thinks, too,
huh?
Sure, I do.
Delano won't squeal.
He wouldn't dare to.
I'll have him out
in the morning.
Give me my hat.
Here it is.
Where's my stick?
Give me my stick.
I wouldn't go without my stick
if I had to see you all
hang first.
What if they have
raided the still?
What's one still?
They think they can stop me?
And as for the rest of you,
keep your mouths shut.
Run back to the holes
you came from...
You spineless rats.
Run!
Run away from money!
Hey, wait a minute.
Where do you get off,
eating a hog's share?
I bring more dough into this joint
than all of you eggs put together.
I'm running this show, ain't I?
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Well, it's a good thing you're
a pal of mine, Johnny Franks,
that's all.
Enough of that.
What do we got on
for tonight, Mr. Newton?
Tonight you start muscling
in on Colimo's territory.
Into the city, chief?
Yes, and someday we'll run smiling
Joe Colimo right out of the city.
Tonight we're leaving
a business card
at one of his speakeasies.
But that's a tough gang.
You heard what I said.
Aw, don't get sore, Newton.
That's all right.
We'll shove off.
Can we take dummy Metz
along, chief?
No. I have work
for the dummy here.
I don't like it.
Aw, stop your squawkin'.
What do you want to do,
be an old woman all your life?
I don't like going into the city
and messin' around some
other guy's joint.
Listen,
you guys--
and you,
slaughterhouse--
easy on the rods.
Anything else, Newton?
That's very good Brandy
you borrowed
out of that government
warehouse.
Hello, baby.
Hello, Johnny.
Mr. Franks.
Hello, sweetbreads.
You keep your big hands off me,
or I'll have Johnny kick
you out of the gang.
Who, me?
Yeah, you.
Aw, listen, you--
you'll be crawling on your
hands and knees to me someday.
- Yeah?
- Yes, me.
Not while I'm sober.
No?
You big side of beef!
What's the matter, peaches?
Slaughterhouse needling you?
You lay off of that,
do you hear?
Aw, I was only fooling, Johnny.
Yeah?
Maybe you're traveling
a little bit too fast
for this gang.
Come on, gouger, let's go.
- Evening, gents. What'll you have?
- Beer.
Make mine milk.
And not skim.
Yes, sir.
3 beers...
A bottle of milk.
Comin' up.
Hey, boss?
Franks and 3 of his mob
just came in.
Say anything?
Didn't say a word.
I know why he's here.
Hello? Hello?
Colimo?
No, this isn't Joe.
It's his brother.
What's that?
Ok. All right.
Hey, Joe.
That was Finkel.
Johnny Franks just walked
in with 3 of his gang.
Is that so?
Well, tell Eddie
to go down there
and take 6 men with him.
Let me go with him,
will you, Joe?
Uh-uh. No. Not a chance.
They're tough babies.
I, uh, mean by that
you stay here.
All right, Joe.
Why don't you let Ivan go with them?
Toughen him up.
No, I wish I'd had sense enough
to keep that kid
out of this racket.
Good day,
Mr. Franks.
I'm glad to see you here.
Yeah. I'll bet you're
glad to see us here.
That ain't bad beer.
But you got some good beer
at your back door right now.
Only cost you one grand.
I can't afford it, Franks.
Honest, I can't.
I just bought a truckload
from Colimo.
You'll be buying it
from us from now on.
But I'll tell you boys,
I ain't got the Jack.
Get it.
I don't know.
I'll see what I've got
in the...Cash register.
You better make it snappy.
After that phone call,
why, there's liable to be
Yes, sir.
We're takin' too much territory.
Hello, Eddie.
Hello, Johnny.
What do you want?
Muscling in, huh?
Yeah, what of it?
Well, I think you guys
better be moving along.
Yeah?
Now, ain't that too bad?
We had to use the rods.
They opened up on us.
I got Colimo's kid brother Ivan.
Smiling Joe Colimo's
going to have
a lot more respect
for you boys after this.
What do you think
we ought to do?
Keep quiet, keep quiet.
Forced to shoot
in self-defense.
It's that simple.
You better beat it
down to pier 14
and stop the Gettle brothers
from bringing in that load.
What do you think I am,
a messenger boy?
Beat it.
Colimo-- he's downstairs.
He's comin' up!
Get back on those
choppers, quick!
Remember one thing--
don't give in an inch.
Our gang is nearly
as strong as his,
and he knows it.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Good evening, Newton.
There's a couple of choppers
lookin' at you, Colimo,
so you better watch your step.
I got plenty of my own lookin'
at this whole town of Centro.
You know what
I'm here for, Franks.
Who got my brother?
Turn him over to me.
I wouldn't turn
his dog over to you.
So you'd rather have
us pick you off?
Ivan was a nice kid.
This is the last time
I'm asking you, Franks--
