1. And they're off!Copy !req
2. It's Lucky Arrow breaking on top.
Purple Shadow is second.Copy !req
3. At exactly 3:45 on that Saturday afternoon...Copy !req
4. in the last week of September...Copy !req
5. Marvin Unger was perhaps the only one among the hundred thousand people at the track...Copy !req
6. who felt no thrill
at the running of the fifth race.Copy !req
7. He was totally disinterested
in horse racing...Copy !req
8. and held a lifelong contempt
for gambling.Copy !req
9. Nevertheless, he had a five-dollar win bet
on every horse in the fifth race.Copy !req
10. He knew, of course,
that this rather unique system of betting...Copy !req
11. would more than likely
result in a loss.Copy !req
12. But he didn't care...Copy !req
13. for after all, he thought,
what would the loss of $20 or $30 mean...Copy !req
14. in comparison to the vast sum of money
ultimately at stake?Copy !req
15. - A bottle of ginger ale, please.
- Yes, sir. Coming right up.Copy !req
16. Favorite broke bad.
Could be anybody's race.Copy !req
17. - Lucky Arrow by a head. Purple Shadow between horses. - Could be.Copy !req
18. - Put a five-dollar win next to the five-dollar place. - Stopwatch is third by three quarters.Copy !req
19. Southern Star is next,
Main Entrance and Stanley Cage.Copy !req
20. - Quite a crowd you got.
- Yeah.Copy !req
21. Passing the quarter pole,
it is Lucky Arrow and Purple Shadow...Copy !req
22. with Stopwatch on the outside to third.Copy !req
23. At the head of the stretch,
it is Purple Shadow leading by a length.Copy !req
24. Lucky Arrow is second by three quarters.Copy !req
25. Stopwatch, going up on the outside,
is third by a length and a quarter.Copy !req
26. Then comes Southern Star,
Main Entrance, Stanley Cage...Copy !req
27. Third Row and Lover's Dilemma.Copy !req
28. It is Lucky Arrow between horses by a head,
Purple Shadow by a head...Copy !req
29. and Stopwatch moving fast
on the outside.Copy !req
30. It's Lucky Arrow, Purple Shadow
and Stopwatch neck and neck.Copy !req
31. It's Lucky Arrow, Purple Shadow
and Stopwatch.Copy !req
32. It's Stopwatch taking the lead.Copy !req
33. Stopwatch by a head.Copy !req
34. Purple Shadow second by a head.
Lucky Arrow third by a length.Copy !req
35. And Southern Star finished fourth.Copy !req
36. Waiting for the race to become official...Copy !req
37. he began to feel as if he had as much effect
on the final outcome of the operation...Copy !req
38. as a single piece of a jumbo jigsaw puzzle
has to its predetermined final design.Copy !req
39. Only the addition
of the missing fragments of the puzzle...Copy !req
40. would reveal whether the picture
was as he guessed it would be.Copy !req
41. The result of the fifth race
is now declared official.Copy !req
42. Twenty-five dollars.Copy !req
43. About an hour earlier
that same Saturday afternoon in September...Copy !req
44. in another part of the city...Copy !req
45. Patrolman First Class Randy Kennan
had some personal business to attend to.Copy !req
46. - Hiya, Tiny. What's the good word?Copy !req
47. Same as always. Havin' a ball.Copy !req
48. I'll see you later.Copy !req
49. Good evening, Randy.
How have things been?Copy !req
50. What's the use of kickin', Leo?
You wouldn't believe it anyway.Copy !req
51. Oh. I suppose they've been very well.Copy !req
52. After all, a man drives a new car,
lives in a fine apartment.Copy !req
53. So? I like to live good.
You got any objections?Copy !req
54. None at all.Copy !req
55. As long as you don't overlook
your obligation to me.Copy !req
56. I trust it was purely an oversight.Copy !req
57. I'm sure a man in your position
wouldn't deliberately...Copy !req
58. antagonize his creditors.Copy !req
59. I ain't got it, Leo.
I know I should have it.Copy !req
60. And I'm as anxious to pay off
as you are to have me, but I just ain't got it.Copy !req
61. Well, we all get a little cramped
now and then.Copy !req
62. Suppose we make it a thousand?
I'll rewrite the balance as a new loan.Copy !req
63. Give you a fiscal breather, fresh start.Copy !req
64. Listen, Leo, I'm broke, get me?
Flat broke.Copy !req
65. Right now I couldn't give you
a thousand cents.Copy !req
66. - But if you can wait a couple of weeks -
- Might be arranged.Copy !req
67. With the proper collateral, of course.Copy !req
68. You mean, where is the dough comin' from?
I can't tell you, Leo.Copy !req
69. All I can tell you is,
it's a plenty sweet deal...Copy !req
70. and I'll be able to pay off
like a slot machine.Copy !req
71. - In two weeks, you said? No longer?
- Maybe even less than that.Copy !req
72. You know I wouldn't
pull a thing like this on you.Copy !req
73. I couldn't afford to.Copy !req
74. I'm glad you said that, Randy.
I was going to point out as much myself.Copy !req
75. But since you relieve me
of the unpleasant necessity -Copy !req
76. It's a deal then? I pay you the 2,600
within the next two weeks.Copy !req
77. Plus $400 - a total of 3,000.Copy !req
78. The extra interest, of course.Copy !req
79. I trust that'll be satisfactory.Copy !req
80. - I can't say no.
- Thank you, Randy.Copy !req
81. I was sure you'd see it my way.Copy !req
82. Take good care of yourself.Copy !req
83. I'll take care of myself, mister.Copy !req
84. That's my specialty.Copy !req
85. At 7:00 p.m. That same day...Copy !req
86. Johnny Clay, perhaps the most important
thread in the unfinished fabric...Copy !req
87. furthered its design.Copy !req
88. None of these men are criminals
in the usual sense.Copy !req
89. They've all got jobs.
They all live seemingly normal, decent lives.Copy !req
90. But they got their problems,
and they've all got a little larceny in 'em.Copy !req
91. Now, you take my pal Unger, for instance,
the guy who owns this apartment.Copy !req
92. He's putting up the money to operate with,
and he's letting me stay here.Copy !req
93. He's a bookkeeper.Copy !req
94. Been with the same company
for 10 years.Copy !req
95. You know, Fay, the biggest mistake
I made before was shooting for peanuts.Copy !req
96. Five years have taught me one thing,
if nothin' else -Copy !req
97. Anytime you take a chance, you better
be sure the rewards are worth the risk...Copy !req
98. because they can put you away just as fast for a $10 heist as they can for a million-dollar job.Copy !req
99. You don't have to sell it to me, Johnny.Copy !req
100. You know I'll go along
with anything you say.Copy !req
101. I always have, you know,
ever since we were kids.Copy !req
102. I've always believed you -
everything you've ever told me.Copy !req
103. Those five years you've been away, I -
I know they must have been terrible for you.Copy !req
104. I mean, being locked up
must be a terrible thing.Copy !req
105. You know something?Copy !req
106. This may sound funny, but...Copy !req
107. waiting for you all those years
and staying by myself -Copy !req
108. it was like, not that you were locked in...Copy !req
109. but I was locked out.Copy !req
110. Well, look at me.Copy !req
111. First time we've been together in five years,
and I'm making speeches.Copy !req
112. Now, now. Everything is gonna be all right.
I promise you.Copy !req
113. Make sure you're right about it, Johnny.
I'm no good for anybody else.Copy !req
114. I'm not pretty, and I'm not very smart.
So please don't leave me alone anymore.Copy !req
115. Aw, nothing is gonna happen.Copy !req
116. Not this time.Copy !req
117. Well, I - I guess I'd better
leave you be now.Copy !req
118. I know you've got a lot of work to do.Copy !req
119. When will I see you again?Copy !req
120. Saturday night.
We'll be on the plane together.Copy !req
121. Look, Fay, until it's all over,
I want you to stay out of the way. Yeah?Copy !req
122. If there's anything I can do to help -Copy !req
123. No. Nothing.
You just make the plane reservations.Copy !req
124. And remember,
tell 'em at the office that you're leaving.Copy !req
125. Tell 'em you're getting married, huh?Copy !req
126. I don't wanna say good-bye.Copy !req
127. - Oh.
- Hello, Marv. We were just talking about you.Copy !req
128. - Hi, Johnny. Hi, Miss Fay.
- Hello.Copy !req
129. - I hope it was something nice.
- Oh, yes.Copy !req
130. Johnny was telling me about
what a wonderful friend you were.Copy !req
131. - Fay was just leaving, weren't you, baby?
- Oh, don't rush off on my account. I -Copy !req
132. - Ah, she's late for an appointment.
- That's right.Copy !req
133. - You'll be sure to call me, won't you, Johnny?
- Yeah. I'll do just what I told you I would.Copy !req
134. - It was nice to see you again, Mr. Unger.
- Thank you.Copy !req
135. - Take care of Johnny.
- Oh, there's nothing I wouldn't do for Johnny.Copy !req
136. I'll see you.Copy !req
137. A half an hour earlier,
at approximately 6:30...Copy !req
138. Mike O'Reilly,
the track bartender, came home.Copy !req
139. Ruthie? I'm home.Copy !req
140. At 7:15 that same night...Copy !req
141. George Peatty, the track cashier,
arrived at his apartment.Copy !req
142. - Hello.Copy !req
143. Hello.Copy !req
144. - Feelin' okay?
- Fine.Copy !req
145. I been kinda sick today.
I keep gettin' pains in my stomach.Copy !req
146. Maybe you got a hole in it, George.
Do you suppose you have?Copy !req
147. A hole in it?
How would I get a hole in my stomach?Copy !req
148. How would you get one in your head?Copy !req
149. Go fix me a drink, George.
I think I'm developing some pains myself.Copy !req
150. Sherry, can't I ever say anything at all
without you joking to me about it?Copy !req
151. Hurry up with that drink, George.
The pains are gettin' worse.Copy !req
152. I saw somethin' kinda nice
comin' home on the train tonight.Copy !req
153. Somethin', well, kinda sweet.Copy !req
154. A candy bar, George?Copy !req
155. No, not a candy bar, doughnut.Copy !req
156. It was people.Copy !req
157. This couple sittin' just in front of me.Copy !req
158. Oh, they weren't young, exactly.
I guess the woman was about your age.Copy !req
159. A little senile, you mean?
With one foot and a big toe in the grave?Copy !req
160. You wanna hear this or not?
Do you or not, Sherry?Copy !req
161. I can't wait.
Go ahead and thrill me, George.Copy !req
162. Well, anyway, like I say,
they were sittin' just in front of me...Copy !req
163. and I could hear what they were sayin' -
well, part of it.Copy !req
164. They weren't young, exactly,
and they weren't really old.Copy !req
165. She was about my age, you said.
Not anymore.Copy !req
166. Maybe she was when you started
telling this story, but not now.Copy !req
167. Anyway, she was calling him Papa,
and he was calling her Mama.Copy !req
168. And the climax to this exciting story?
The moral? The punch line, George?Copy !req
169. Forget it, Sherry.Copy !req
170. Just thought I'd tell you about it,
but I might have known.Copy !req
171. Oh, I know. You want to bet I know?
I'll give you seven-to-five.Copy !req
172. Cut it out, will you, Sherry?Copy !req
173. I'm tired. I don't feel so good.Copy !req
174. You want me to call you Papa, isn't that it,
George? And you wanna call me Mama.Copy !req
175. - You know all the answers.
- Go right ahead.Copy !req
176. Course, it may be the last word you ever say,
but I'll try to kill you as painlessly as possible.Copy !req
177. - I gotta go out tonight.
I don't suppose there's anything for dinner.Copy !req
178. Of course there is, darling.
There are all sorts of things.Copy !req
179. - We have steak and asparagus and potatoes.
- I don't smell nothin'.Copy !req
180. Well, that figures.
'Cause you're too far away from it.Copy !req
181. - Too far away from it? - Certainly. You don't think I had it all cooked, do you?Copy !req
182. It's all down in the shopping center.Copy !req
183. Tell me something, would you, Sherry?Copy !req
184. Just tell me one thing.Copy !req
185. Why did you ever marry me anyway?Copy !req
186. George, when a man has to ask his wife that,
well, he just hadn't better, that's all.Copy !req
187. Why talk about it?
Maybe it's all to the good in the long run.Copy !req
188. After all, if people didn't have headaches,
what would happen to the aspirin industry?Copy !req
189. You used to love me.
You said you did, anyway.Copy !req
190. I seem to recall you made
a memorable statement too.Copy !req
191. Something about hitting it rich
and having an apartment on Park Avenue...Copy !req
192. and a different car
for every day of the week.Copy !req
193. Not that I really care about such things,
understand...Copy !req
194. as long as I have a big, handsome,
intelligent brute like you.Copy !req
195. It would make a difference, wouldn't it?
If I had money, I mean.Copy !req
196. How would you define money, George?Copy !req
197. If you're thinkin' of giving me
your collection of Roosevelt dimes -Copy !req
198. I mean big money.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars.Copy !req
199. You really don't feel well, do you?
You sure that pain's in your stomach?Copy !req
200. I'm gonna have it, Sherry. Hundreds
of thousands, maybe a half a million.Copy !req
201. Of course you are, darling.Copy !req
202. Did you put the right address on the envelope
when you sent it to the North Pole?Copy !req
203. Go ahead and laugh.
Wait and see.Copy !req
204. Maybe you won't be laughing so hard
in a few days.Copy !req
205. You're really serious. You really think
you're gonna have a lot of money.Copy !req
206. I don't think nothin'. I know it.Copy !req
207. You've never been a liar, George.
You don't have enough imagination to lie.Copy !req
208. So what makes you think, or know, that you're gonna have several hundred thousand dollars?Copy !req
209. 'Cause I do.
I just can't talk about it, that's all.Copy !req
210. Not even to me, your little Sherry?Copy !req
211. I shouldn't have even mentioned
I was going to have it.Copy !req
212. It's not that I mind.
I know I can trust you.Copy !req
213. - But if these other guys ever -
- "These other guys"?Copy !req
214. I can't talk about it, Sherry.
I just can't.Copy !req
215. "These other guys" - Is that why you're
going out tonight, to meet with them?Copy !req
216. They got nothin' to do with that.
I just gotta go uptown for a little while.Copy !req
217. I see. Well, you go right ahead, George.Copy !req
218. If you wanna act that way,
I certainly won't try to stop you.Copy !req
219. Sherry, no.
Sherry, honey, don't be sore at me.Copy !req
220. Well, after all, when a woman's been married for five years, and her own husband doesn't trust her -Copy !req
221. Why, you think more of them
than you do of me.Copy !req
222. What right have you got
to say a thing like that?Copy !req
223. You know I'm crazy about you.
I'd do anything in the world for you.Copy !req
224. Honey, you're the one I'm doing it for.
If I didn't love you so much -Copy !req
225. Look, I don't want you to do anything for me.
I don't even wanna talk to you anymore.Copy !req
226. You go up and see your fella,
whatever you wanna do.Copy !req
227. Sherry!Copy !req
228. But don't you be surprised
if I'm not here when you get home.Copy !req
229. Don't you at all be surprised.Copy !req
230. You better be here, you hear me, Sherry?
You will be, won't you?Copy !req
231. You wouldn't do anything foolish,
would you?Copy !req
232. I certainly wouldn't want to, but as long as you don't trust me or have the slightest bit of faith in me -Copy !req
233. Sherry, if I ever found you
with another man -Copy !req
234. But why? You have no use for me.Copy !req
235. Oh, you say you do, but when it comes
to a showdown or proving it...Copy !req
236. well, you say one thing,
then you do the opposite.Copy !req
237. Well, I could tell you
a little bit about it, I guess.Copy !req
238. Well, most of it.Copy !req
239. - But you got to promise to keep quiet.
- Why, of course, darling.Copy !req
240. Just a second.Copy !req
241. - Well!
- Hello.Copy !req
242. Hello.Copy !req
243. - How'd you get away from George tonight?
- He had to go somewhere.Copy !req
244. That's a break.
I'm glad you called me.Copy !req
245. Something wrong, baby?Copy !req
246. No, nothing's wrong.Copy !req
247. - Can I get you a drink?
- No, I don't think so.Copy !req
248. Come on, now. That's not my baby.Copy !req
249. - Val, I called you last night.
- Oh, yeah?Copy !req
250. - There was no answer.
- Mmm. I guess I stepped out.Copy !req
251. I called you four times.Copy !req
252. Honey, I guess I was out somewhere.Copy !req
253. Oh? What'd you do?Copy !req
254. I don't know. I guess I was goofin' off
at a movie or something.Copy !req
255. Val, why are you doing this to me?Copy !req
256. - I don't know what you mean.
- I think you do.Copy !req
257. Oh, look, Mrs. Peatty.Copy !req
258. What I do is my own business.Copy !req
259. I never tried to pin you down, did I?Copy !req
260. I never asked you how you got your kicks
before you met me, did I?Copy !req
261. That hurt, Val.
You didn't used to talk to me like that.Copy !req
262. I'm sorry, baby, but don't bug me.Copy !req
263. I gotta live my life a certain way.Copy !req
264. I can't stand it when the walls
start closin' in.Copy !req
265. But you know how crazy I am about ya.Copy !req
266. And I'm crazy about you too, sweetheart.Copy !req
267. I've given you sufficient proof of that.Copy !req
268. Well, I know.
It's just that lately every time I call -Copy !req
269. So I step out once in a while.Copy !req
270. Look, you got yourself a husband,
a guy who'll spend every last nickel on you...Copy !req
271. won't ask you any questions when you come home from an afternoon movie at 9:00 at night.Copy !req
272. - Don't be greedy.
- I'm not greedy, Val. I'm in love with you.Copy !req
273. If that's being greedy, then I'm the biggest
glutton that ever walked the Earth.Copy !req
274. Don't make it sound so ominous.
It's not like you're gonna eat me alive.Copy !req
275. I may just do that.Copy !req
276. Darling, what are the two things in life
you're most interested in?Copy !req
277. - What?
- Money and women?Copy !req
278. Oh. That's a nice way to put me down.Copy !req
279. - That about sums it up, doesn't it?
- We'll let it stand.Copy !req
280. But I imagine what you really meant to say
was "money and woman."Copy !req
281. We're gonna have money, Val,
more money than you ever dreamed of.Copy !req
282. - Maybe even millions.
- Oh, yeah? How?Copy !req
283. George. That's how.
He's stumbled onto somethin' big.Copy !req
284. - That meatball?
- A meatball with gravy, Val.Copy !req
285. You know he works at the track.Copy !req
286. Well, somehow - and don't ask me how -
but he's got connected with a mob.Copy !req
287. They're gonna rob the track offices
for the day's receipts.Copy !req
288. You mean he seriously told you that he and some mob are gonna knock over the racetrack?Copy !req
289. And you can believe him, Val, 'cause George
may be a fool, but he's not a liar.Copy !req
290. The guy's crazy.
That's never been done before.Copy !req
291. I know. I told him that, but he says the job's
all set up, and it's gonna be done.Copy !req
292. And if I just sit tight, I'd be up
to my curls in cash, just like that.Copy !req
293. Well, let's suppose this is all true.
How do I fit in?Copy !req
294. Well, you know I've been gonna leave George.
I guess you know why too.Copy !req
295. Well, you've been saying that
for a long, long time, Sherry.Copy !req
296. But everything's changed now.
I was gonna tell him tonight.Copy !req
297. - George may be very rich very soon.Copy !req
298. That's all he needs, isn't it?Copy !req
299. He'd still be George.Copy !req
300. So you think, uh, let's say George and his boys
pull this job, and George gets his cut.Copy !req
301. Maybe I could take it away from him, huh?Copy !req
302. I think you could.Copy !req
303. What about the others?
You got any idea who they are?Copy !req
304. Only this. I went through his clothes
while he was showering.Copy !req
305. I'm quite sure George went there tonight.Copy !req
306. Hmm.Copy !req
307. Kiddo, I think we got somethin' here.Copy !req
308. You know, if this is true,
this is a lot bigger than you think.Copy !req
309. You're interested in taking Georgie's cut?
Well, I got news for you.Copy !req
310. Georgie's cut's gonna be peanuts
compared to this whole thing.Copy !req
311. We gotta find out more
about the overall plan.Copy !req
312. - You think he'd tell you any more?
- Not a chance.Copy !req
313. I could see he was scared stiff
'cause he talked as much as he did.Copy !req
314. I don't get it, Johnny -
about these two other guys.Copy !req
315. You mean there's gonna be two other guys in on the deal, and we ain't gonna know who they are?Copy !req
316. That's right. You don't know who they are,
and they don't know who you are.Copy !req
317. - That makes sense to you, doesn't it?
- Yes, I guess so, but -Copy !req
318. It makes sense to me, all right. How come we need 'em, though, Johnny? What are they gonna do?Copy !req
319. Well, one of them's
for the job with the rifle.Copy !req
320. None of you boys can handle that,
even if you were willing to.Copy !req
321. And the other one
starts the fight in the bar.Copy !req
322. These other fellas - how much
are they cuttin' in for? Not that I mind.Copy !req
323. Anything you do is okay, but -Copy !req
324. These men are not gonna be
in on the basic scheme.Copy !req
325. They're getting paid to perform certain
definite duties at a certain definite time.Copy !req
326. And they're not cutting in on the take.Copy !req
327. They'll be paid a flat price
to do a straight job.Copy !req
328. Well, if they don't know anything about the basic plan, about the job, then why are they doin' it?Copy !req
329. It's simple. These boys are straight hoods.
They get paid in advance.Copy !req
330. Five grand for the one with the rifle,
and 2,500 for the other.Copy !req
331. - Where's this money comin' from?
- That's where Marvin comes in.Copy !req
332. He's getting the 7,500 for us,
and he gets it back off the top.Copy !req
333. I wish I could do more, Johnny.Copy !req
334. It's almost not right for me
to get as much as everybody else.Copy !req
335. - After all, all I do is -
- Your money counts for plenty, Marv.Copy !req
336. You don't hear any of them
complaining, do you?Copy !req
337. Sure. You're okay in our book, Marv.
But look, Johnny.Copy !req
338. If these two hoods get paid in advance, how
do you know they're gonna do their jobs?Copy !req
339. I'll vouch for 'em. These guys are pros.Copy !req
340. They can't afford to weasel out on a deal.
If they did, they'd be washed up. Okay?Copy !req
341. - Okay.
- Any other questions?Copy !req
342. Well, let's take a look at this then.Copy !req
343. This is a rough drawing of the track
as I remember it.Copy !req
344. Randy, you'll have to get me
an A-1 street map of the whole district.Copy !req
345. George, Mike, I want you
to go over this thing with me inch by inch.Copy !req
346. Bring it completely up to date,
add or subtract the slightest change...Copy !req
347. even if it's something as small
as the placement of a hot dog stand.Copy !req
348. Now, give or take a few thousand...Copy !req
349. I figure the loot on this deal
at two million.Copy !req
350. There should be that much
in the track offices.Copy !req
351. That includes profits
on the parimutuel betting...Copy !req
352. the breakage money,
taxes from the mutuel machines...Copy !req
353. receipts from the concessions
and the money from ticket sales.Copy !req
354. None of this money is allowed to accumulate
at any one point around the track.Copy !req
355. Except for money to make change with
and the mutuel clerk's payoff money...Copy !req
356. why, it all goes into the office.Copy !req
357. And out of the entire take,
only a few thousand dollars...Copy !req
358. is put in the office safe
to cover emergencies.Copy !req
359. The rest is out in the open,
held for pickup by armored car.Copy !req
360. That car arrives about 5:00...Copy !req
361. and parks directly in front
of the main entrance to the clubhouse.Copy !req
362. Two men stay in it - one at the wheel,
and the other at a machine gun in the turret.Copy !req
363. Two others enter the office
to collect the dough.Copy !req
364. Now, they're armed, of course, and so are the track detectives who cover them from the car to the office and back.Copy !req
365. Now, once the armored car arrives,
a, uh, stickup is -Copy !req
366. - Is out of the question.Copy !req
367. Say, now, what in the name of Pete
would a babe be doing outside that door?Copy !req
368. Uh, what do you think?Copy !req
369. You guys, any of you ever
see this woman before?Copy !req
370. - It's Sherry, my wife.
- Why, you -Copy !req
371. You been talkin'.
Now you spilled to her.Copy !req
372. I did not. What, do you think I'm crazy?
I wouldn't -Copy !req
373. You jerk! You clown!Copy !req
374. Come on, clown.
Sing us a chorus from Pagliacci.Copy !req
375. You better talk, George. Come clean.
Either you talk, or we'll get it out of her.Copy !req
376. Please, you wouldn't do anything
to her, Johnny? Please.Copy !req
377. I don't wanna, but if you won't talk,
if you won't tell us what you told her -Copy !req
378. I didn't tell her nothin'! Honest, I didn't.
Why would I do a thing like that, Johnny?Copy !req
379. Sure, she wouldn't.
She's just a building inspector, isn't she?Copy !req
380. Just stopped outside that door
to measure the keyhole. Why, you -Copy !req
381. Let's have it, George.
We're gonna get it out of one of ya.Copy !req
382. If you didn't tell her,
then why was she around here snoopin'?Copy !req
383. Oh! She must have found the address
in my pocket.Copy !req
384. Sure. That's what it was.
Thought I was two-timing her.Copy !req
385. You know, runnin' around with another -Copy !req
386. Of course.
She's just checkin' up on me, John.Copy !req
387. I didn't tell her nothin'.
Honest, I didn't.Copy !req
388. You'll let her go, won't you?
You won't hurt her, John?Copy !req
389. Randy? Mike? Take him home to his apartment and stick with him until I phone you.Copy !req
390. - No, I'm not leaving Sherry!
- You're leavin', all right.Copy !req
391. Now, how are you goin' -
slidin' or walkin'?Copy !req
392. Come on, George, let's go.Copy !req
393. What are you gonna do now, Johnny?Copy !req
394. Ah, I don't think I'll have to kill her.Copy !req
395. Just slap that pretty face
into hamburger meat, that's all.Copy !req
396. Marv, why don't you take yourself
a walk for an hour or so?Copy !req
397. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll be -
I'll be back in a couple of hours.Copy !req
398. All right, sister, that's a mighty pretty head
you've got on your shoulders.Copy !req
399. You wanna keep it there, or do you wanna
start carrying it around in your hands?Copy !req
400. Maybe we could compromise
and put it on your shoulder.Copy !req
401. - I think that'd be nice, don't you?
- What were you doing outside that door?Copy !req
402. Doing? I was listening, naturally.
Trying to, I should say.Copy !req
403. Oh, you admit it?
You admit you were out there snooping?Copy !req
404. Yes. Wasn't that naughty of me?
But I'm afraid I was.Copy !req
405. I found an address in George's pocket.Copy !req
406. I thought he might be playing around
with another woman, so I came over here.Copy !req
407. And you'd care if he was playin'
another dame? That would bother you?Copy !req
408. You don't understand me, Johnny.
You don't know me very well.Copy !req
409. I know you like a book.
You're a no good, nosy little tramp.Copy !req
410. You'd sell out your own mother for a piece
of fudge, but you're smart along with it.Copy !req
411. Smart enough to know when to sell and when to sit tight, and you know you better sit tight in this case.Copy !req
412. - I do?
- You heard me. You like money.Copy !req
413. You got a great big dollar sign there
where most women have a heart.Copy !req
414. So play it smart. Stay in character,
and you'll have money, plenty of it.Copy !req
415. George'll have it, and he'll blow it on you.
Probably buy himself a five-cent cigar.Copy !req
416. Mmm. You don't know me
very well, Johnny.Copy !req
417. I wouldn't think of letting George
throw his money away on cigars.Copy !req
418. Isn't there a big "if" in there somewhere?Copy !req
419. Yeah. There's a couple of 'em.Copy !req
420. If you're smart, if you keep your trap shut and don't nose around anymore, you'll have money.Copy !req
421. You'll be loaded with a capital "L."Copy !req
422. But if you don't, there'll be nothing.
We'll forget the whole thing.Copy !req
423. Nothing will happen,
and you won't have a penny.Copy !req
424. I wouldn't like that, and, frail as I am,
I'd much prefer to be loaded.Copy !req
425. I think we understand each other.Copy !req
426. Now beat it.Copy !req
427. Those guys.
Fine friends they turned out to be.Copy !req
428. Slappin' me around,
callin' me dirty names.Copy !req
429. I thought that rotten Randy
would cave the side of my head in.Copy !req
430. Poor George.
You're all right now, aren't you, darling?Copy !req
431. Doggone it, Sherry, you shouldn't
have come over there tonight.Copy !req
432. It's a wonder we both didn't get killed.Copy !req
433. I don't think there was much danger of that. After all, if they'd killed you, there couldn't be a robbery.Copy !req
434. If they'd done anything to harm me
or seriously offend you, why -Copy !req
435. They have offended me.
They've offended me plenty.Copy !req
436. Oh, George, don't be such an old bear.Copy !req
437. They have,
and I'm not gonna forget it in a hurry.Copy !req
438. Well, what else could they have done?
I thought they acted quite reasonably.Copy !req
439. Well, anyway -Copy !req
440. What - What did Johnny do to you?Copy !req
441. Do? I already told you.Copy !req
442. Just asked me some questions
and made sure it was all right for me to leave.Copy !req
443. Sherry, did - did Johnny try anything?Copy !req
444. Why, George,
what a terrible thing for you to ask.Copy !req
445. - I was pretty sure that you wouldn't -
- I don't think you'd better say any more.Copy !req
446. Why did you come over there tonight,
Sherry? It wasn't for the reason you said.Copy !req
447. It was for the reason you said, George.
You said it yourself.Copy !req
448. I was just trying to make an alibi for you.
I was afraid those guys'd kill you.Copy !req
449. You know that I wouldn't look
at another woman.Copy !req
450. There wouldn't be any women
chasing after a guy like me.Copy !req
451. Oh, let's drop it, George.Copy !req
452. You put words in my mouth,
and then you say they're not true.Copy !req
453. I told you exactly what happened.Copy !req
454. Oh, dear.Copy !req
455. Everything's all right
with you and your pals now.Copy !req
456. You're gonna have
lots and lots of money and -Copy !req
457. - I've been thinkin' it over, Sherry.
- I can hardly wait.Copy !req
458. How soon will it be, George?
What day?Copy !req
459. It ain't going to be, Sherry.
I'm droppin' out.Copy !req
460. You're dropping -
Oh, you don't mean it. You can't mean it.Copy !req
461. I'm afraid, Sherry.Copy !req
462. This business tonight,
it kinda opened my eyes.Copy !req
463. It made me realize the kind of guys
I was getting mixed up with.Copy !req
464. Before, all I thought of was the money.Copy !req
465. Well, you just keep on
thinking about that, George.Copy !req
466. Think how disappointed I'd be
if you didn't get that money.Copy !req
467. I'm afraid I'd feel like
you didn't really love me.Copy !req
468. I don't see how I could feel any other way.Copy !req
469. Why? Why should I have to do a thing
like that to prove to you that I love you?Copy !req
470. George, what are you gonna do?
I wanna know right now.Copy !req
471. All you've ever done
is talk about loving me.Copy !req
472. That's all I've had
for the last five years is talk.Copy !req
473. Now that you have a chance
to do something and to -Copy !req
474. all those things you promised -
buy me things -Copy !req
475. Well, what are you gonna do, George?Copy !req
476. You know there ain't a thing in the world
I wouldn't do for you.Copy !req
477. Then you'll do this for me, won't you?Copy !req
478. I guess so.Copy !req
479. It'll be perfect, George.
You have no idea how perfect.Copy !req
480. I won't have long to wait, will I?
It will be within the next few days, won't it?Copy !req
481. - Oh, when will it be, George?
- You got your own way, Sherry.Copy !req
482. You wanted me to go ahead with the deal,
so I'm going.Copy !req
483. Now leave me alone, will you?Copy !req
484. I'm sorry, darling. Of course.Copy !req
485. We won't even talk about it
if you don't want to.Copy !req
486. You really love me, Sherry?Copy !req
487. Of course.Copy !req
488. You'll always love me?Copy !req
489. Always and always.Copy !req
490. Three days later,
at 10:15 on a Tuesday morning...Copy !req
491. Johnny Clay began the final preparations.Copy !req
492. - You want somebody to play with?
- Uh, no, thanks. I'm just lookin' for a friend.Copy !req
493. Oh, you patsan. You missed a move.Copy !req
494. Knight to knight five, pawn takes knight,
rook takes rook, queen to rook four, check.Copy !req
495. - King to bishop -
- Go away. Bother someone else!Copy !req
496. You don't know what you're talkin'!
He couldn't do that!Copy !req
497. - You don't know what you're talkin'!
- Shut up, patsan. Make a move.Copy !req
498. He's right.
I could have won your rook.Copy !req
499. - Move, patsan!
- Look, stop talkin' or I'll call Fisher.Copy !req
500. I can't think with all this noise!Copy !req
501. Good game, Maurice?Copy !req
502. Johnny Clay, my old friend.
How are you?Copy !req
503. Good to see you, Maurice.
Been a long time, huh?Copy !req
504. - How long have you been out?
- Oh, not very long.Copy !req
505. It was very difficult, no?Copy !req
506. Yeah.Copy !req
507. Very difficult.Copy !req
508. You have my sympathies, Johnny.Copy !req
509. You have not yet learned that in this life
you have to be like everyone else -Copy !req
510. the perfect mediocrity.Copy !req
511. No better, no worse.Copy !req
512. Individuality is a monster,
and it must be strangled in its cradle...Copy !req
513. to make our friends feel comfortable.Copy !req
514. You know, I often thought
that the gangster and the artist...Copy !req
515. are the same in the eyes of the masses.Copy !req
516. They're admired and hero-worshipped,
but there is always present...Copy !req
517. underlying wish to see them destroyed
at the peak of their glory.Copy !req
518. Yeah. Like the, um -Copy !req
519. Like the man said,
"Life is like a glass of tea." Huh?Copy !req
520. Oh, Johnny, my friend,
you never were very bright...Copy !req
521. but I love you anyway.Copy !req
522. How, uh - How's life
been treating you, Maurice?Copy !req
523. About the same as always.Copy !req
524. When I need some money,
I go out and wrestle.Copy !req
525. But mostly I'm up here,
wasting my time playing chess.Copy !req
526. But, you know, I wouldn't know
what to do with myself...Copy !req
527. if I didn't have this place to come to.Copy !req
528. Maurice, could you use $2,500?Copy !req
529. It has a pleasant ring to the ear.
Quite musical.Copy !req
530. What is it for?Copy !req
531. For taking care of half a dozen private dicks.
Racetrack cops.Copy !req
532. I want you to start a fight
with the bartender at the track.Copy !req
533. The track cops will try to break it up.
You keep 'em busy for as long as you can.Copy !req
534. Make 'em drag you out of the place.
No gunplay. Strictly a muscle job.Copy !req
535. Would it be out of order for me to ask...Copy !req
536. for what it is that you are willing to pay such
a price to see me demonstrate my talents?Copy !req
537. I would imagine it is for more
than just your own personal entertainment.Copy !req
538. $2,500 is a lot of dough, Maurice.
Part of it's for not asking questions.Copy !req
539. That sounds not unreasonable.Copy !req
540. Still, I will probably go to jail,
and jails I have found unpleasant.Copy !req
541. Food is very bad, company is poor,
beds are too small.Copy !req
542. Ah, it'll only be a disorderly conduct charge.
Maybe 60 days, nothing worse.Copy !req
543. And if a man has a little money to spread around in the right places, he can be quite comfortable for his stay.Copy !req
544. I do not quite understand, Johnny.Copy !req
545. For what you want me to do, you could
get any hoodlum for a hundred dollars.Copy !req
546. Yeah. I don't want any hoodlum.
I want a guy like you.Copy !req
547. Someone who's absolutely dependable...Copy !req
548. who knows he's being well-paid to take a risk
and won't squawk if the going gets rough.Copy !req
549. I was thinking, if perhaps you can't
work out some other arrangement -Copy !req
550. 2,500 I like very much.Copy !req
551. But suppose I were willing
to forgo part of it...Copy !req
552. and take a share
in your, uh, enterprise instead.Copy !req
553. - No?
- No. It's not mine to share up.Copy !req
554. Very well, Johnny. Now I sense
there will be certain details to work out.Copy !req
555. Yeah. I'll buy you a cup of coffee, huh?Copy !req
556. - It's beautiful, isn't it?
- Yeah, it's exactly what I wanted.Copy !req
557. Yeah, pops, you could take care of a whole
roomful of people with that gun.Copy !req
558. Maybe not kill 'em all, but then they
wouldn't be good for anything afterwards.Copy !req
559. I knew you'd take care of it for me, Nikki.
Say, uh, how long have you had this place?Copy !req
560. Almost a year.Copy !req
561. Yeah, and it's picturesque enough,
but there can't be much profit in it.Copy !req
562. There isn't.
But then there isn't much trouble neither.Copy !req
563. - What are you thinking about?
- A job. Your kind of a job. A job with a rifle.Copy !req
564. - What kind of money, pops?
- 5,000.Copy !req
565. - Who do I have to kill?
- A horse.Copy !req
566. - A horse?
- A four-legged horse.Copy !req
567. - And for that I get 5,000?
- Well, for that and -Copy !req
568. I figured there'd be a gimmick.Copy !req
569. The gimmick isn't as tough
as you may think.Copy !req
570. You shoot the horse, and, if by any chance
anything goes wrong, you don't squawk.Copy !req
571. And all I gotta do is bump off a horse?Copy !req
572. - Well, it's a special kind of a horse, Nick.
- So?Copy !req
573. For certain reasons,
including your own protection...Copy !req
574. in case anything happens, I'm not gonna
give you the whole story, just your part of it.Copy !req
575. Next Saturday the $100,000 handicap
is being run.Copy !req
576. In the seventh race - that's the big race of
the season - there's a certain horse running.Copy !req
577. He's one of the best three-year-olds
to come along in the last 10 years.Copy !req
578. He's a big money winner, and he won't pay even money because half the people out there are gonna be down on him.Copy !req
579. All right. There's a parking lot less than 300
feet from the northwest corner of the track.Copy !req
580. From a car parked
in the southeast corner of that lot...Copy !req
581. you get a perfect view of the horses as they come around the far corner and start into the stretch.Copy !req
582. A man sitting in a car parked in that spot using a high-powered rifle with a telescopic sight...Copy !req
583. should be able to bring down
any given horse with a single shot.Copy !req
584. And a man with your eye
would hardly need a telescopic sight.Copy !req
585. That horse is worth
a quarter of a million bucks...Copy !req
586. and you know the crowd
would go completely nuts.Copy !req
587. So what? Let 'em go nuts.
You can do it. You can do it easy.Copy !req
588. And you shouldn't have too much trouble
getting away in the confusion.Copy !req
589. Red Lightning will undoubtedly be leading
in the stretch because that's the way he runs.Copy !req
590. So he goes down, a couple of other horses
pile up on top of him.Copy !req
591. - There'll be plenty of confusion. I can guarantee you that. - Yeah.Copy !req
592. And there's one more thing - Suppose by accident you do get picked up. What've you done? You shot a horse.Copy !req
593. It isn't first-degree murder. In fact, it isn't even murder. In fact, I don't know what it is.Copy !req
594. But the chances are, the best they could
get you on would be, uh, inciting a riot...Copy !req
595. or shooting horses out of season
or something like that.Copy !req
596. Well, you put it down, 'cause you make it
sound real simple. You know, pops?Copy !req
597. - 5,000 bucks for rubbin' out a horse.Copy !req
598. - Okay, pops. How do I get it?Copy !req
599. - 2,500 today, 2,500 the day after the race.
- Okay. Crazy. Now, tell me something -Copy !req
600. What's your angle, John?
They'll probably call the race off, huh?Copy !req
601. And they won't pay off any of the bets?
Come on.Copy !req
602. Maybe. But what my angle is
is my business.Copy !req
603. And, Nikki, 5,000 bucks is a lot of dough,
and that's what I'm paying it for -Copy !req
604. so nobody has to know my business.Copy !req
605. All right, John.
I got no troubles with you. I'm with you.Copy !req
606. - I'm lookin' for Joe Piano.
- Who's lookin' for Joe?Copy !req
607. - Patsy sent me.
- Patsy who?Copy !req
608. - Patsy Gennelli.
- Where did you see Patsy?Copy !req
609. Alcatraz. We roomed together.
My name -Copy !req
610. Don't tell me who you are.
What can I do for you?Copy !req
611. I want a place to stay for about a week.
I won't be in it very much.Copy !req
612. I don't want it cleaned, and I don't want
anybody else in it except myself.Copy !req
613. I think I can accommodate you.
So how's the boy?Copy !req
614. Eh, he's fine. He's doing it on his ear.
He's the best pitcher they got up there.Copy !req
615. - Yeah, I know. - He told me to tell you not to worry about him.Copy !req
616. Yeah, he's doing the book, you know.
I worry plenty.Copy !req
617. Well, he's a tough kid.
Maybe he'll get a break.Copy !req
618. Yeah, I know. Let's hope.Copy !req
619. Here you are. I got another one. You don't have to worry about leaving anything in here.Copy !req
620. It'll be safe. I'm always over here.
There'll be no maid service.Copy !req
621. - You wanna leave anything in there?
- Just this, and another bag next week.Copy !req
622. Don't you worry.
Nobody will disturb them.Copy !req
623. - All right. What'll it be?
- Oh, no. No charge. You said Patsy sent you.Copy !req
624. Sure, he sent me, but he's a friend of mine.
I'd feel better if I paid.Copy !req
625. Kind of a business arrangement.
I can afford it.Copy !req
626. - Okay, then. It'll be $10 a week.
- All right.Copy !req
627. I'll send the money in the bus to the boy.Copy !req
628. Thank you very much.
Have a nice time, huh?Copy !req
629. Four days later, at 7:30 a. M...Copy !req
630. Sherry Peatty was wide awake.Copy !req
631. Gosh, honey. Did I wake you up?
I'm sorry. I just couldn't sleep somehow.Copy !req
632. It's all right.
Can I get you anything?Copy !req
633. - Would you like some more coffee?
- No, I guess not.Copy !req
634. Nice of you to offer though.Copy !req
635. I don't know.
I'm just nervous and restless.Copy !req
636. I'll be all right.
Go on back to bed, will you?Copy !req
637. No, I won't.Copy !req
638. Even if I don't get up
to get my husband's breakfast...Copy !req
639. the least I can do is sit with him
while he has his coffee.Copy !req
640. Ah, Sherry,
are you sure you feel all right?Copy !req
641. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that
the way it sounded.Copy !req
642. I deserved it.Copy !req
643. I know I've been irritable and moody lately,
and I haven't acted like I should.Copy !req
644. It's just I can't stand living like this.Copy !req
645. This crummy apartment
and a hamburger for dinner.Copy !req
646. You haven't been so bad, baby.Copy !req
647. Yes, I have.Copy !req
648. But things are gonna be different.
You'll see.Copy !req
649. When we get all that money
and have so many nice things...Copy !req
650. I'll stop thinking about myself so much.Copy !req
651. Your problems will be my problems -Copy !req
652. whenever you're worried about something,
like now, for instance.Copy !req
653. Is it the robbery?
Is that what you're worrying about?Copy !req
654. Yeah, I guess it is a little. I have no reason to.
I know it's gonna be all right.Copy !req
655. Ah, naturally you'd be a little upset
at a time like this.Copy !req
656. It's today, isn't it?Copy !req
657. What makes you think that? Just because
I couldn't sleep, it doesn't mean -Copy !req
658. No, I know my Georgie.
He can't fool me.Copy !req
659. I'm right, aren't I, darling?
Today is the day we get all that money.Copy !req
660. No, you ain't. It isn't today.Copy !req
661. If you don't stop pestering me, trying to find out something you have no reason to know...Copy !req
662. there ain't gonna be no money.Copy !req
663. - But, George, how can you -
- I mean it, Sherry! Now, I'm gettin' fed up.Copy !req
664. You heard what Johnny told you -
to stop butting in, mind your own business...Copy !req
665. or he'd call this whole thing off.Copy !req
666. He told me something else too,
which I neglected to tell you.Copy !req
667. That if I did "butt in," as you and he
choose to call it, he'd break my neck.Copy !req
668. Maybe he had reason to. He wanted to make
you understand that he means business.Copy !req
669. All I've gotta say is,
you've certainly changed your tune...Copy !req
670. since he and his friends
slapped you around.Copy !req
671. Well, I was pretty sore about that,
but, after all, what could they do?Copy !req
672. You said yourself they acted pretty reasonable. We have no reason to hold a grudge.Copy !req
673. Well, I'm not gonna argue with you, George.Copy !req
674. If you let people beat you up, and then
take their side against your own wife, why -Copy !req
675. But you did, Sherry! You said -
Look, I wanted to quit. You wouldn't let me.Copy !req
676. You said I had no reason to.Copy !req
677. Anyway, Johnny didn't lay a hand on me.
None of the guys did but Randy.Copy !req
678. I was gonna tell you something
about your dear friend Johnny...Copy !req
679. but since you feel about him like you do,
take his word against mine -Copy !req
680. What about him?
What were you gonna tell me?Copy !req
681. Let's stop the conversation right there.Copy !req
682. What were you gonna tell me, Sherry?Copy !req
683. I don't think I can tell you
when you feel like you do about him.Copy !req
684. Not havin' any faith in me
and keepin' secrets.Copy !req
685. We won't have any secrets.Copy !req
686. What happened?Copy !req
687. Well, I tried to tell you about this
the other night, but...Copy !req
688. you were so upset, and every time
I tried to say anything, you cut me off.Copy !req
689. Sherry, what are you trying to tell me?Copy !req
690. I tried to stop him.
I pleaded and I struggled.Copy !req
691. But -Copy !req
692. Oh. It doesn't matter, does it, darling?Copy !req
693. The only thing that really matters
is how I feel about you now, isn't it?Copy !req
694. It is today, isn't it?Copy !req
695. Earlier that morning, at 5:00 a. M...Copy !req
696. Red Lightning was fed
only a half portion of feed...Copy !req
697. in preparation for
the seventh race that afternoon -Copy !req
698. the $100,000 Lansdowne Stakes.Copy !req
699. At 7:00 that morning, Johnny Clay began
what might be the last day of his life.Copy !req
700. Yeah. All right, all right.Copy !req
701. Oh.Copy !req
702. - What time is it?
- It's early yet. It's only 7:00.Copy !req
703. You better go back to sleep after I leave.Copy !req
704. I, uh, just wanted to say good-bye.Copy !req
705. Till tonight, that is.Copy !req
706. Everything's all set.
Should go perfectly.Copy !req
707. But if it doesn't, if anything goes wrong,
why, don't talk about this with anyone.Copy !req
708. You'll be in the clear for everything except being short on your books, and I don't think they'll be too rough on you.Copy !req
709. Oh. I'm not worried about that. As a matter
of fact, I'm not worried about anything.Copy !req
710. I just wish there was something more
I could do to help.Copy !req
711. No, you've done your part.
I only hope we can do ours as well.Copy !req
712. We, uh -Copy !req
713. We'll probably never see each other again after we split the money and break up tonight, but...Copy !req
714. in my book,
you'll always be a stand-up guy.Copy !req
715. Johnny, I -Copy !req
716. I don't know how to say this,
and I don't even know if I have the right...Copy !req
717. but I've always thought maybe
you're like my own kid.Copy !req
718. Ah, you can say anything you want.Copy !req
719. You've had a lot of rough breaks,
and maybe you've made a few mistakes...Copy !req
720. but after today, the good Lord willing,
you'll be a new man.Copy !req
721. A rich man.Copy !req
722. And that can make a lot of difference.Copy !req
723. You got a lot of life ahead of you,
a lot of people to meet.Copy !req
724. People of quality and substance.Copy !req
725. What are you gettin' at?Copy !req
726. Wouldn't it be great
if we could just go away, the two of us...Copy !req
727. and let the old world
take a couple of turns...Copy !req
728. and have a chance
to take stock of things?Copy !req
729. It can be pretty serious and terrible,
particularly if it's not the right person.Copy !req
730. Getting married, I mean.Copy !req
731. You better go back to sleep.Copy !req
732. The, uh, seventh race starts about 4:30
if you want to catch it on the radio.Copy !req
733. I'll be back here about 7:00.Copy !req
734. Keep away from the track.
Go to a movie or something.Copy !req
735. - See you later.Copy !req
736. It was exactly 7:00 a.m.
When he got to the airport.Copy !req
737. The weight is okay, Mr. Preston.
Is that all the baggage?Copy !req
738. Well, I'll have one more with me tonight.
I can keep it with me in the cabin, can't I?Copy !req
739. Yes, sir, but be sure and check in here
at the counter prior to flight time.Copy !req
740. - Flight 465 leaves at 9:00 p.m. Tonight.
- Thank you.Copy !req
741. Thank you for flying American, sir.Copy !req
742. Stopping first at a florist,
he arrived at the motel at 8:15.Copy !req
743. He was on schedule.Copy !req
744. - Good morning, my friend.
- Good morning, Joe.Copy !req
745. Now, look, this afternoon a friend of mine
is stopping by and leaving a bundle for me.Copy !req
746. - He's a cop.
- A cop?Copy !req
747. Yeah, yeah.
He's, uh - drives a prowl car.Copy !req
748. - A funny kind of a friend that you have.
- He's a funny kind of a cop.Copy !req
749. Now, you let him in, huh?
He'll leave this bundle for me about 6:30.Copy !req
750. I'll be by right after that and pick it up,
and that's the last you'll see of me.Copy !req
751. - Would you come in for a drink?
- I'd like to, but I got a lot to do today.Copy !req
752. - If I did that, everything would be fouled up.
- I understand. I'll see you tonight.Copy !req
753. - Yeah. Okay.
- So long. Take care of yourself.Copy !req
754. He reached the bus station at 8:45.Copy !req
755. It was 9:20 when he arrived
at Mike's apartment.Copy !req
756. So far everything had gone off
according to plan.Copy !req
757. Mike O'Reilly was ready at 11:15.Copy !req
758. What goes on here?
This is no way to get your strength back.Copy !req
759. Oh, it's very good, Mike,
but I guess I'm just not hungry.Copy !req
760. Really, I couldn't eat another bite.Copy !req
761. Another?
You haven't eaten anything yet.Copy !req
762. Well, I'll take something after a while,
after I've had my medicine.Copy !req
763. I'll have more appetite then.Copy !req
764. That's a promise.
No tricks now.Copy !req
765. - It's a promise.Copy !req
766. You'd better go along now, Mike,
or you'll be late for work.Copy !req
767. Yeah, I guess I will.Copy !req
768. Ruthie, things are gonna
get much better for us.Copy !req
769. I know. I know, dear.Copy !req
770. I know I've made a lot of promises in the past,
but this time it's not just talk.Copy !req
771. We're gonna be rich, and soon.Copy !req
772. You're gonna have a fine house
and doctors that'll make you well again.Copy !req
773. Of course, dear. But you'd better
go along, Mike, or you'll be late.Copy !req
774. Yeah.Copy !req
775. - Oh, Mike?
- Yes?Copy !req
776. On your way home tonight,
would you bring me some magazines?Copy !req
777. Of course.Copy !req
778. But, uh, Ruthie,
I'm going to be a little late.Copy !req
779. Probably about 10:00. Some of the fellas
and me are having a little get-together.Copy !req
780. I understand.Copy !req
781. Don't you drink
too much beer, Mike.Copy !req
782. Remember how
it always leaves you the next day.Copy !req
783. Don't worry about that.
I won't be doing any drinking tonight.Copy !req
784. I called Mother. She'll be over
this afternoon to fix your dinner.Copy !req
785. Thank you, dear.Copy !req
786. Good-bye.Copy !req
787. Don't forget to eat your breakfast.Copy !req
788. He reached the bus station at 11:29.Copy !req
789. At 12:10, as it was his custom,
he arrived at the track.Copy !req
790. Well, what do we got here?
Who's the girlfriend, Mike?Copy !req
791. That's how you spend your money -
blowing your money on dames.Copy !req
792. An old man like you
that oughta know better.Copy !req
793. I ain't like you guys.
These posies are for my wife.Copy !req
794. Besides, where do you guys get off
calling me an old man?Copy !req
795. Why don't you buy your flowers
after you get through work, Mike?Copy !req
796. Liable to wilt on you
before you get home.Copy !req
797. Well, it can't be helped.Copy !req
798. After work
the shops will all be closed.Copy !req
799. Why don't you take 'em out
and put 'em in some water?Copy !req
800. Or probably the clubhouse steward
would put 'em in the refrigerator for you.Copy !req
801. - Why don't you do that?
- Well, perhaps I should.Copy !req
802. But, well, it's getting
kinda late now, and -Copy !req
803. - I'm all dressed. Why don't I do it for you?
- No.Copy !req
804. What's the matter, Mike?
I was just trying to do you a favor.Copy !req
805. These flowers are going in my locker.
Then I'll know where they are.Copy !req
806. Okay, Mike. Suit yourself.Copy !req
807. I'm sorry, Bill.
I appreciate your offer.Copy !req
808. But after work you know how it is.Copy !req
809. Everybody will be in a hurry
to get away, and -Copy !req
810. Hi.Copy !req
811. is third, and Comfort King.Copy !req
812. It is My Baby leading by a length.Copy !req

820. The result of the first race

821. Be sure to hold all tickets
until the result of the race is declared official.Copy !req
822. After the first race, Mike was very busy.Copy !req
823. Gimme a double bourbon, please.Copy !req
824. Don't you think
you've had enough, pal?Copy !req
825. Your attention, please.Copy !req
826. The horses are now on the track
for the second race at six furlongs.Copy !req
827. At exactly 3:32 that same afternoon...Copy !req
828. Officer Randy Kennan set in motion
his phase of the operation.Copy !req
829. Hello, Fred. This is Randy.Copy !req
830. Listen, pal, will you check
with the dispatcher's office...Copy !req
831. and see if they've been getting me
loud and clear?Copy !req
832. I think my set's
a little on the blink.Copy !req
833. Sure.Copy !req
834. Huh? What?Copy !req
835. He says it's okay?Copy !req
836. Well, that's funny.
It keeps going dead.Copy !req
837. No, I don't think it's one of the tubes.
I'll keep fooling around with it.Copy !req
838. Give my regards to your missus. By the way,
when's the big day supposed to be?Copy !req
839. Well, don't worry about it.Copy !req
840. The sixth one is always the hardest.Copy !req
841. Officer!Copy !req
842. - Oh, thank heaven. Hurry! Come quick!Copy !req
843. They're killing each other!
I always knew they'd -Copy !req
844. He had timed the trip to the track
on half a dozen different occasions...Copy !req
845. and he knew at just what point he should be
at precisely what time.Copy !req
846. He knew the entire success of the plan
depended on his accuracy...Copy !req
847. in arriving at the track
at exactly the correct moment.Copy !req
848. A minute or two early was allowable,
but 10 seconds late would be fatal.Copy !req
849. Your attention, ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
850. The horses are now on the track
for the seventh race.Copy !req
851. The $100,000-added

856. Maurice was at the chess club.Copy !req
857. He was to be at the track in position at 4:00,
just before the start of the seventh race.Copy !req
858. Fisher, I am supposed to be back here
tonight about 6:30.Copy !req
859. If I'm not, I'd like you
to do something for me.Copy !req
860. Sure, Maurice. What is it?Copy !req
861. I'd like you to call this number
and ask for Mr. Stillman...Copy !req
862. and tell him
Maurice requires his services.Copy !req
863. Sounds pretty mysterious.
What's it all about?Copy !req
864. There are some things, my dear Fisher,
which do not bear much looking into.Copy !req
865. You have undoubtedly heard
of the Siberian goat herder...Copy !req
866. who tried to discover
the true nature of the sun.Copy !req
867. He stared up at the heavenly body
until it made him blind.Copy !req
868. There are many things of this sort...Copy !req
869. including love and death
and my business for today.Copy !req
870. Please remember to make that call
if I'm not back at 6:30.Copy !req
871. - Your attention, ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req

the starting gate for the seventh race.Copy !req
880. The horses are at the gate.Copy !req
881. The horses are at the gate.Copy !req
882. Hey! How about some service,
you stupid-looking Irish pig?Copy !req
883. Hey, what's the matter with -Copy !req
884. Hold him.Copy !req
885. Come on, break it up. Look out.Copy !req
886. It was exactly 4:23
when they dragged Maurice out.Copy !req
887. At 11:40 that morning
Nikki left his farm.Copy !req
888. He arrived at the track at 12:30.Copy !req
889. - Hi there. - Use the other parking lot, mister. This one ain't open yet.Copy !req
890. - I don't like to trouble you.
- You're not troubling me.Copy !req
891. I said there's no parking here.
There's no parking, and that's that.Copy !req
892. Look, Mac, I'm a paraplegic.Copy !req
893. I want to get in this lot
to watch the races from my car.Copy !req
894. That ain't my problem, mister.Copy !req
895. My leg's bum, too,
but nobody's feeling sorry for me.Copy !req
896. I know what you mean, buddy.Copy !req
897. Get that in the war?Copy !req
898. Battle of the Bulge.Copy !req
899. Say, look, I know this is
a lot of extra trouble for you.Copy !req
900. - I want you to have this.
- No, no, no. Skip it, skip it.Copy !req
901. I want you to take it.Copy !req
902. Now go on, keep it.Copy !req
903. It's all right.Copy !req
904. - Well, thanks a lot, mister. I'm sorry I -
- That's okay. Forget it.Copy !req
905. Say, will you take down that fence?Copy !req
906. I'd like to get settled down
before the first race starts. Okay?Copy !req
907. Sure, mister.Copy !req
908. Your attention, please.Copy !req
909. The horses are now on the track
for the second race at six furlongs.Copy !req
910. I had this layin' around, mister.
I thought you might like to have it.Copy !req
911. Thanks.
That's very kind of you.Copy !req
912. No trouble at all.
If you need anything else, just honk.Copy !req
913. I doubt if I'll need anything.
I'm getting along just fine.Copy !req

919. Well, I guess I better be
getting back to work.Copy !req
920. Yeah, well, thanks for
bringin' me the program.Copy !req
921. No trouble at all. You sure
there's nothing else I can do for you?Copy !req

If I think of anything, I'll give you a yell.Copy !req

927. Sure is a nice day, ain't it?Copy !req
928. - Yeah.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
929. I didn't figure it would be when I first got up
this morning, but it turned out real fine.Copy !req
930. Kinda funny
when you stop to look at it.Copy !req
931. Weather's almost the same
as it always is this time of year, but -Copy !req
932. I sure appreciate the way
you treated me, mister.Copy !req
933. It's not so much the money. Of course,
I appreciate that, too, but it's more the way -Copy !req
934. Forget it.Copy !req
935. No, sir, I - I don't reckon
I'll ever forget it.Copy !req
936. I brought you some luck, mister. You bettin'
this race, I figure you might need it.Copy !req

950. I'm Hoping is second
by three quarters of a length...Copy !req
951. Little Arnie is third
by a length and a quarter...Copy !req

969. park his car
and walk to the grandstand.Copy !req
970. He planned to arrive just before
the start of the seventh race.Copy !req

1004. Be sure to hold all tickets.Copy !req
1005. The stewards are conducting an inquiry
into the running of the seventh race...Copy !req
1006. and will view the motion pictures.Copy !req
1007. All right, get your hands up,
all of you! Now!Copy !req
1008. One move out of any one of you,
and I'm gonna start firing.Copy !req
1009. You. Fill that bag up
just as fast as you know how.Copy !req
1010. You. Take that gun out of the holster.
Be awful, awful careful how you do it.Copy !req
1011. Now drop it.Copy !req
1012. - Kick it over here.Copy !req
1013. All right, turn around
and face the wall.Copy !req
1014. All right, now the money in the safe.Copy !req
1015. Your attention, ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
1016. We have received
no exact information...Copy !req
1017. concerning the spill of Red Lightning
in the seventh race.Copy !req
1018. However, jockey Danny Freed
appears to be unhurt.Copy !req
1019. Your attention,
ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
1020. - We have received no exact information -
- Fill it up!Copy !req
1021. Concerning the spill of Red Lightning
in the seventh race.Copy !req
1022. However, jockey Danny Freed
appears to be unhurt.Copy !req
1023. All right, all right, that's enough.Copy !req
1024. Now put the bag here
in the middle of the floor.Copy !req
1025. Get back over there.Copy !req
1026. Now, I'm gonna open this door.Copy !req
1027. I want you to go through it and go into the
locker room. And close the door after you.Copy !req
1028. I'm gonna start firing through that door
15 seconds after you close the door.Copy !req
1029. Let's go.Copy !req
1030. Now close it!Copy !req
1031. - Just a minute.
- What are you doing?Copy !req
1032. Just stay right there.Copy !req
1033. We interrupt this broadcast to
bring you a special news bulletin.Copy !req
1034. In one of the most daring and methodically
executed holdups in criminal history...Copy !req
1035. a lone bandit wearing a rubber mask...Copy !req
1036. today took an estimated $2 million
stuffed into a large duffel bag...Copy !req
1037. from the offices
of the Lansdowne Racetrack.Copy !req
1038. The robbery occurred during
the running of the seventh race...Copy !req
1039. and was apparently timed to coincide
with the shooting of Red Lightning...Copy !req
1040. just as the horse, valued at
a quarter of a million dollars...Copy !req
1041. was leading the pack at the far turn.Copy !req
1042. The jockey, Danny Freed,
escaped with minor injuries.Copy !req
1043. A man identified as Nikki Arano,
who allegedly shot the prize thoroughbred...Copy !req
1044. was himself fatally wounded
by track police...Copy !req
1045. as he attempted to shoot his way
out of the track parking lot.Copy !req
1046. At this time the most baffling mystery
that still plagues the authorities...Copy !req
1047. is just how the bandit managed to
successfully get away from the track...Copy !req
1048. with the bulky duffel bag
containing the money.Copy !req
1049. A painstaking search of the track grounds
is being conducted...Copy !req
1050. on the theory that the money
may still be hidden there.Copy !req
1051. And now we take you back
to our regularly scheduled program.Copy !req
1052. No one saw the duffel bag
come out of the window.Copy !req
1053. Nah, that part of it worked okay.
Landed right at my feet.Copy !req
1054. I reported my radio out of order
before I went out to the track.Copy !req
1055. But the captain ain't buying it. He's convinced
I was holed up somewhere, drunk.Copy !req
1056. And if the captain's convinced,
there ain't nobody that can unconvince him.Copy !req
1057. Besides, no one's gonna think anything
of seein' a cop at the racetrack.Copy !req
1058. I mean, they won't get any funny ideas
about it and tie it in with the robbery.Copy !req
1059. Anyway, if they do
it won't cut any ice.Copy !req
1060. Captain knows I was drunk,
and he ain't a man you can argue with.Copy !req
1061. So I guess I'll just have to break down,
admit it and take my punishment.Copy !req
1062. Yeah. That would be terrible,
wouldn't it, Randy?Copy !req
1063. A 30-day suspension.Copy !req
1064. It's 7:15.Copy !req
1065. Don't worry.
He'll get here.Copy !req
1066. He had to pick up the dough at the motel
where I dropped it.Copy !req
1067. There was a funny little guy
name of Joe Piano there.Copy !req
1068. He runs the place, I guess.Copy !req
1069. Sure hope Johnny
knows how to pick his friends.Copy !req
1070. I need another drink.Copy !req
1071. Why ain't he here?Copy !req
1072. Everything else runs on a timetable
till it comes to payin' us our shares.Copy !req
1073. Then the timetable breaks down.Copy !req
1074. He's supposed to be here at 7:00.Copy !req
1075. - I think I hear the elevator.
- That'll be Johnny.Copy !req
1076. Yeah.Copy !req
1077. - All right, everybody up.
- What is this?Copy !req
1078. It'll be a massacre
if you don't keep those mitts up.Copy !req
1079. Now, where's Johnny?
What time's he due?Copy !req
1080. Look, I been sitting on that car since 4:00
listenin' to that radio...Copy !req
1081. and I heard
some pretty interesting things.Copy !req
1082. Grandpa, tell me,
what time's Johnny getting here?Copy !req
1083. Somebody gave you
a bum steer, buddy.Copy !req
1084. Look around.Copy !req
1085. Can't believe you were tipped, huh?
Well, if I had a certain little lady here -Copy !req
1086. Where's the jerk?
Where's George?Copy !req
1087. The jerk's right -Copy !req
1088. Forty minutes before,
at 6:25, Johnny reached the motel.Copy !req
1089. Due to heavy traffic around the track,
he was 15 minutes behind schedule.Copy !req
1090. Yeah? Who is it?Copy !req
1091. Oh, it's, uh - it's just a mistake.
I'm sorry.Copy !req
1092. Johnny arrived at the meeting place at 7:29,
still 15 minutes late.Copy !req
1093. It had been prearranged
and agreed to by all...Copy !req
1094. that in the event of an emergency
before the split...Copy !req
1095. the money was to be saved by whoever
had possession of it at that time...Copy !req
1096. without any consideration
of the fate of the others...Copy !req
1097. the money to be divided in safety
at a later date.Copy !req
1098. After what he had seen, and not knowing the
cause or the circumstances of the others...Copy !req
1099. Johnny had no choice
but to save himself and the money.Copy !req
1100. Ten minutes later he bought
the largest suitcase he could find.Copy !req
1101. I'm back here, Val darling.Copy !req
1102. How'd it go, dear?Copy !req
1103. Watch out there! Watch out!Copy !req
1104. - What happened?Copy !req
1105. Sherry, why?
Why did you do it?Copy !req
1106. Do? Do what, dearest?
I don't know what you're talking about.Copy !req
1107. I was just getting some clothes
ready to go to the cleaners. I -Copy !req
1108. Hello! Hi there!Copy !req
1109. So you had to be stupid.Copy !req
1110. You couldn't even play it smart
with a gun pointed at you.Copy !req
1111. Well, you better get smart fast
and get outta here while you can still walk.Copy !req
1112. But your friend -
Val? Is that his name?Copy !req
1113. Yes, and you'd better get out of here
before he gets here.Copy !req
1114. I - I'm sick, Sherry. I -Copy !req
1115. Call an ambulance.Copy !req
1116. The door's behind you.
Take a cab.Copy !req
1117. I love you, Sherry.Copy !req
1118. George, you better go on and go.
You look terrible.Copy !req
1119. It isn't fair.Copy !req
1120. I never had anybody but you.Copy !req
1121. Not a real husband.Copy !req
1122. Not even a man.Copy !req
1123. Just a bad joke without a punch line.Copy !req
1124. Ain't fair. Ain't fair.Copy !req
1125. American Airlines announces the arrival...Copy !req
1126. of Flight 808
DC-7 service from Chicago.Copy !req
1127. American Airlines
announces the arrival...Copy !req
1128. of Flight 808
DC-7 service from Chicago.Copy !req
1129. Sebastian and I are so excited.Copy !req
1130. We haven't seen Daddy Sweetums
for such a long, long time.Copy !req
1131. Will the nice man let us wait outside
so we can look at the airplanes?Copy !req
1132. Why, certainly. You can stand
outside on the boarding ramp.Copy !req
1133. We'll be announcing the arrival
of your husband's flight very shortly.Copy !req
1134. He's a sweetums man, isn't hims?Copy !req
1135. Let's hurry up real fast
and see Daddy come off the airplane.Copy !req
1136. - Good evening.
- Good evening.Copy !req
1137. Mr. And Mrs. Raymond Preston,
9:00 flight for Boston.Copy !req
1138. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1139. We'll be announcing the on-time departure
of this flight very shortly, sir.Copy !req
1140. - Fine.
- Do you have any other baggage?Copy !req
1141. No, it was already
checked through this morning.Copy !req
1142. Oh, say, I, uh - I wanna carry that bag
with me on the plane, please.Copy !req
1143. I'm sorry, sir. It's much too large. This'll
have to go checked through at Baggage.Copy !req
1144. Oh, now, uh, let's, uh -
let's be a little reasonable, huh?Copy !req
1145. You can't tell me that the two of us
traveling together...Copy !req
1146. are not entitled to one piece
of luggage between us.Copy !req
1147. Sir, we have no objection
to one small bag or even two small bags.Copy !req
1148. But we don't have anything else.
It's already been checked through.Copy !req
1149. I see.Copy !req
1150. Even though it's getting very close to flight time I think we can locate the rest of your luggage.Copy !req
1151. You could transfer some of the contents
in this one to a smaller one.Copy !req
1152. No. I'm sorry, that won't work at all. Now
look, uh, let me talk to your supervisor, huh?Copy !req
1153. All right.
I'll be very happy to call him.Copy !req
1154. Mr. Grimes!Copy !req
1155. Mr. Grimes? Could you
come down this way, please?Copy !req
1156. Good evening, sir.
What can we do for you?Copy !req
1157. Good evening. My wife and I
are going through to Boston.Copy !req
1158. The rest of our luggage has already been checked through, and I want to take this bag with me in the cabin, please.Copy !req
1159. I'm afraid it exceeds the maximum cabin size
for flight requirements, sir.Copy !req
1160. Yes, it does look quite a bit too large
for the passenger compartment.Copy !req
1161. Sir, those are our flight regulations which
are designed for your comfort and safety.Copy !req
1162. - Well, I can't make the trip without it.
- You, uh, really can't, hmm?Copy !req
1163. Absolutely not.Copy !req
1164. Well, in that case, I think we can, uh -
How about it, Brown?Copy !req
1165. I know it's past cancellation time...Copy !req
1166. but under the circumstances
I think we might stretch a point, don't you?Copy !req
1167. We'll give you a full rebate
on your ticket, sir.Copy !req
1168. Wait a minute.
I - I don't want a rebate!Copy !req
1169. Well, sir, I - I don't know
what else to suggest.Copy !req
1170. It's very close to flight time.
There are other passengers waiting.Copy !req
1171. Perhaps the gentleman is worried
about the contents of the bag. Is that it?Copy !req
1172. - We'd be very happy to insure it.
- More than happy. We'd be delighted.Copy !req
1173. - No. - If you could just give me its estimated value and tell me what's in it.Copy !req
1174. No, there's nothing in it. I mean, uh,
just personal items, things like that.Copy !req
1175. All right. All right.
Check it through.Copy !req
1176. Passengers may now board -
