1. - Everybody stand back, please.
- Third floor!Copy !req
2. - You scared me.
- Ah, Jesus, Bernzy.Copy !req
3. We weren't six blocks from
here when it come over the radio.Copy !req
4. I killed him
to get the picture.Copy !req
5. You didn't touch him,
did you?Copy !req
6. What do you think,
I'm stupid?Copy !req
7. Huh, my competition.Copy !req
8. Who'd this guy
work for, Bernzy?Copy !req
9. Farinelli,
I think. He ain't lookin' his best tonight, is he?Copy !req
10. Do you mind?
You're castin' a shadow.Copy !req
11. Hey, kid,
put the hat in there. Huh?Copy !req
12. His hat! Stick it in. People
like to see the dead guy's hat.Copy !req
13. Thanks.Copy !req
14. Thanks, boys.Copy !req
15. All right, Cobb.
Move it along.Copy !req
16. No! No more pictures. You
heard me. Come on. Move it along.Copy !req
17. Shit!Copy !req
18. Get back! Come on! Come on!Copy !req
19. Bernzy, clear outta here.Copy !req
20. I heard this guy's walking around with
a meat cleaver stickin' out of his head!Copy !req
21. Get the hell out. Keep an eye
on him. One shot. One shot.Copy !req
22. - Throw a sheet over him.
- Thanks a lot. Thank you.Copy !req
23. Excuse me.Copy !req
24. He said, "Turn that back."Copy !req
25. Let 'em through!
Let 'em through!Copy !req
26. Come on.
Get out of here.Copy !req
27. You better
uncover him now, son.Copy !req
28. Christ. Christ...Copy !req
29. Wait a second.Copy !req
30. This is a new low
for you, Bernzy.Copy !req
31. Flatter me all you want, Jack.
It's still 20 bucks.Copy !req
32. You got a release on that guy?
Got a spirit medium on staff?Copy !req
33. You check
with the hospital?Copy !req
34. He never made it to Bellevue,
the poor bastard.Copy !req
35. Thank God I was able
to administer his last rites.Copy !req
36. Thank you. Pleasure
doin' business with you.Copy !req
37. That's not very polite.Copy !req
38. I know how it is.Copy !req
39. I work nights myself.Copy !req
40. Professional
interest, see.Copy !req
41. "Tomorrow he sails."
That's the caption.Copy !req
42. How much you got
on you?Copy !req
43. My wife
wouldn't like it.Copy !req
44. Honey, you're not married,
and you don't have a girl.Copy !req
45. I saw how you were
lookin' at those two.Copy !req
46. Your socks
don't even match.Copy !req
47. Car 92, in front of 171...Copy !req
48. And I still don't see why we need rationing.Copy !req
49. We've got to divide among
our civilian population...Copy !req
50. what we have left after feeding our fighting men.Copy !req
51. And that means there'll be a little less
for some of us, but a fair share for all...Copy !req
52. Rineman Publishing.
Hold, please.Copy !req
53. Leon Bernstein.Copy !req
54. Is it a pickup
or a delivery?Copy !req
55. I have an appointment.
Oh.Copy !req
56. Just a minute.
There's a Mr. Bernstein for you.Copy !req
57. Mr. Bernstein?
Hi.Copy !req
58. My father will see you today.
I have a doctor's appointment.Copy !req
59. Okay.
Good-bye.Copy !req
60. Mr. Bernstein.Copy !req
61. Rineman Publishing.Copy !req
62. Now,
does one call you Mr. Bernstein or Mr. Bernzini?Copy !req
63. Or is it just
Bernzini?Copy !req
64. Well, I was born Leon Bernstein,
but the girls up at Worldwide...Copy !req
65. That's the photo agency... they
call me The Great Bernzini...Copy !req
66. on account of they said I'm a magician
the way I get every place so fast.Copy !req
67. That's marvelous. I know my son
spoke to you quite optimistically about this.Copy !req
68. That's why he... That's why
I wanted to speak to you...Copy !req
69. rather than tossing it
into the mail.Copy !req
70. From a technical point of view,
of course, this is fine work.Copy !req
71. It's simply that we don't
publish books of this type.Copy !req
72. Please, Mr. Rineman, everybody
knows that Rineman and Sons...Copy !req
73. publishes more photograph books
than anybody else.Copy !req
74. Well, sir, we publish books
of photography.Copy !req
75. And to my mind,
this is instead...Copy !req
76. a most admirable
picture book about New York.Copy !req
77. No, you're wrong.
If I may explain.Copy !req
78. No, I know exactly
what you mean. Still lifes.Copy !req
79. Naked women gettin' out of tubs.
Fruit on a plate.Copy !req
80. "It's a photo.
Let's pretend it's a painting."Copy !req
81. Let's face it,
Mr. Rineman.Copy !req
82. You've printed enough of those
books already. Everybody did.Copy !req
83. No, Mr. Rineman. This is the book. Come on,
let's show those guys.Copy !req
84. May I say you're not being fair
to the photographers we publish.Copy !req
85. Yeah, right. 'Course
I'd like to see 'em try...Copy !req
86. to get a shot like
this one here for instance.Copy !req
87. Where the fire truck is in front of you
and behind you you have a burning building.Copy !req
88. So you have light comin' at you
from every which way.Copy !req
89. And you have these two poor women here,
watchin' their whole life go up in smoke.Copy !req
90. Now I'd like to see one of 'em
try to get a shot like that.Copy !req
91. Well, sir,
what I see here...Copy !req
92. is a batch of pictures
that's too...Copy !req
93. sensational...
Too vulgar, frankly,Copy !req
94. to justify printing a book
of fine photography.Copy !req
95. Just so I know,Copy !req
96. what's too vulgar
in this shot?Copy !req
97. Is it, um, the fire truck
or these two women?Copy !req
98. Since you have talent,Copy !req
99. I'd like to suggest that you apply
it to subject matter that's more...Copy !req
100. No, I heard
this advice before.Copy !req
101. Please listen,
Mr. Bernstein.Copy !req
102. The men who do what you do don't
usually feel the need to rationalize like you,Copy !req
103. much less
be celebrated for it.Copy !req
104. Yeah. Nobody does
what I do.Copy !req
105. Nobody.Copy !req
106. Tell your son I won't
hold this against him...Copy !req
107. when I have my big retrospective
at the Museum of Modern Art.Copy !req
108. You're having a showing
at the Modern?Copy !req
109. Yes, I am.Copy !req
110. - When?
- Someday.Copy !req
111. Hey, Bernzy, you just missed Eleanor
Roosevelt French-kissing Harpo Marx.Copy !req
112. I'll catch 'em on the
inside. That'Il be the day.Copy !req
113. Behind the ropes,
"Bern-stine."Copy !req
114. It's "stein."Copy !req
115. Thank you. Thank you.Copy !req
116. Good evenin',
Mr., Mrs. Armstrong.Copy !req
117. Kitchen door.Copy !req
118. And check the camera.
Thank you, my good man.Copy !req
119. Take good care of that.Copy !req
120. Do you have
a reservation, sir?Copy !req
121. No, but I can see you do.Copy !req
122. Oh, Mr. Bernstein.Copy !req
123. Oh!Copy !req
124. Thanks for coming,
Mr. Bernstein. Uh, Bernzy.Copy !req
125. Bernzy.
This way.Copy !req
126. Publicity men from
the War Department.Copy !req
127. They want to shoot a newsreel
in here for war bonds.Copy !req
128. Scotch all right?Copy !req
129. There's never been
a camera inside.Copy !req
130. Lou always said, "That way it's
like heaven. They're dying to see it."Copy !req
131. Oh, thanks.
Please.Copy !req
132. I'm still in shock.Copy !req
133. If I'd have snuck into this place,
I'd probably feel more comfortable.Copy !req
134. Me too. Half the people down there
feel more sure they belong than I do.Copy !req
135. I need to ask you
a favor.Copy !req
136. You need a favor
from me?Copy !req
137. Lou told me you know
everybody in New York.Copy !req
138. I mean,
all the crooks and all the cops. Is that true?Copy !req
139. Mmm.Copy !req
140. He said you never take sides because
all you care about is taking pictures.Copy !req
141. Taking sides might
get in the way.Copy !req
142. I guess you read about Lou's
brother contesting the will.Copy !req
143. If Lou wanted to leave Cafe Society to
a rug salesman, he'd have left it to him.Copy !req
144. What's he sell,
toupees or carpets?Copy !req
145. It's hard to know.Copy !req
146. People say some
lousy things about me.Copy !req
147. Uh, "She's a coldhearted girl who married
and buried an old man." You heard that?Copy !req
148. You should hear
what they say about me.Copy !req
149. Did you ever take
a picture of this man?Copy !req
150. Ringside table on the right.
The man in the pink suit.Copy !req
151. Never saw him before.
No?Copy !req
152. I'll take a stab in the dark and say
he ain't exactly society league though.Copy !req
153. Yeah. I guess I dragged
you up here for nothing.Copy !req
154. What's he
doin' exactly?Copy !req
155. He says he was
my husband's partner.Copy !req
156. He says Lou owed him money
and now he's my partner.Copy !req
157. "Offered as collateral in
exchange for services rendered"?Copy !req
158. He didn't need money and
he didn't keep secrets from me.Copy !req
159. How would you know?
Hmm?Copy !req
160. - I mean, if they were secrets.
- You know how it is...Copy !req
161. when you're intimate
with someone.Copy !req
162. Yeah. Right.Copy !req
163. I know Lou sold bootleg in the old days.
So did everybody in the nightclub business.Copy !req
164. But Lou was a reputable
businessman. Is this his signature?Copy !req
165. He's here every night...Copy !req
166. not 10 feet from the mirror
or Walter Winchell.Copy !req
167. Couldn't you just, um...Copy !req
168. Throw him out?
I'd love to.Copy !req
169. But he says he'll go to my brother-in-law,
help him prove Lou's will is invalid.Copy !req
170. Is it?
No.Copy !req
171. But I'm his second wife. There
aren't any women in this business.Copy !req
172. We both know what people say
about me. I can't take the chance.Copy !req
173. I could find out
who he is for you.Copy !req
174. Could you?Copy !req
175. Won't be hard for me.Copy !req
176. I'd like to pay you
something. No.Copy !req
177. - I insist.
- No, it's okay.Copy !req
178. Well, Danny downstairs suggested
I come in through the kitchen.Copy !req
179. Fredo, could you watch the door for
a few minutes? Send Danny up to me.Copy !req
180. Yes, Mrs. Levitz.Copy !req
181. Why don't you stay
and have dinner?Copy !req
182. Oh, no, that's all right.
It's not that big a favor.Copy !req
183. - Okay if I take this?
- Of course.Copy !req
184. Thanks.Copy !req
185. With all due respect,
Mrs. Levitz,Copy !req
186. you can't have somebody
like that inside the club.Copy !req
187. You don't see these animals
on the street like I do.Copy !req
188. They call them shutterbugs
'cause they're insects.Copy !req
189. They're vermin, scavengers.
They've got no morality.Copy !req
190. I know.Copy !req
191. He fancies he's different, of course,
which makes him the worst of the lot.Copy !req
192. I hear him talkin' to people
sometimes, important people.Copy !req
193. Botherin' 'em.
Publishers, editors.Copy !req
194. He's botherin' you about that,
isn't he? About his book.Copy !req
195. I don't know
anything about it.Copy !req
196. In fact, I asked him
to do me a favor.Copy !req
197. I see.Copy !req
198. Well, may I ask why?Copy !req
199. Well, Lou always
said he was tenacious.Copy !req
200. The most persistent,
most annoying.Copy !req
201. Danny, I know you know the social standing
of everybody down there better than anyone.Copy !req
202. Mr. Levitz taught me well.Copy !req
203. But the next time
Mr. Bernstein comes,Copy !req
204. we'll let him in
the front door.Copy !req
205. Whatever you say, ma'am.Copy !req
206. Okay, clear the way.
Just one shot, huh?Copy !req
207. Drop the hat, huh?
Put on a smile, huh?Copy !req
208. Bernzy, there's two guys
called Portifino with records,Copy !req
209. but not that age or
description. No record.Copy !req
210. Not in New York, pal.Copy !req
211. Hmph.Copy !req
212. I'm gonna go over there
and take his picture.Copy !req
213. I don't think he wants it took.
What are you talkin' about?Copy !req
214. Everybody loves to have
their picture took. Everybody.Copy !req
215. How ya doin', kid?
Kiss off.Copy !req
216. Can you write?Copy !req
217. Yeah. Where?
Sign here.Copy !req
218. You ever heard of
The Great Bernzini? No.Copy !req
219. I shot Dutch Schultz,
Legs Diamond.Copy !req
220. None of those guys ever
hid their faces from me.Copy !req
221. I just said, kiss off.Copy !req
222. All right.
Have it your own way.Copy !req
223. I get everybody while
they're alive or after.Copy !req
224. I'll let you in on a secret.
Nobody looks better after.Copy !req
225. You're that freak that drives
around in a sedan at night.Copy !req
226. That's me.Copy !req
227. In your line of work,
I'm known as the photographer to the stars.Copy !req
228. I heard of you.
Them other creeps around?Copy !req
229. They're in the corner,
smoking. One shot.Copy !req
230. Come on. Real fast.
Nobody'll even know.Copy !req
231. Come on. Let me
immortalize ya. Back up a little.Copy !req
232. - Thanks, kid.
- Kiss off.Copy !req
233. Agh.Copy !req
234. God.Copy !req
235. Precinct.Copy !req
236. Homicide, please.Copy !req
237. Homicide. Conklin.
Hey, Conklin. Bernzy.Copy !req
238. What's up? Well,
I was sorta paying this social call...Copy !req
239. to this guy,
uh... his name is Emilio Portifino.Copy !req
240. Yeah? Yeah. Well, uh,
he's been murdered.Copy !req
241. I'm lookin' at him now.Copy !req
242. Stay where you are.
I wanna go get my camera.Copy !req
243. You don't see this
a lot.Copy !req
244. Stay put. We'll be
there in five minutes.Copy !req
245. All right,
the address is 115...Copy !req
246. Hello, Bernzy.Copy !req
247. You're not gonna have any more trouble
with Portifino in your, uh, good seats.Copy !req
248. Somebody killed him.
My God.Copy !req
249. Anything you wanna tell me? Anything
you better tell me before the cops get here?Copy !req
250. Uh, all I know about him
is what I told you.Copy !req
251. If you're asking what
I think you are... I'm not asking you that.Copy !req
252. It's obvious this guy
was done in by the mob.Copy !req
253. The mob.Copy !req
254. All right, look,
I'll be in touch with you.Copy !req
255. Okay?
I gotta go now.Copy !req
256. Yeah, okay.
Thanks.Copy !req
257. Jesus.
Marshall, come on.Copy !req
258. Graham, stay by the door.Copy !req
259. What do you say,
Conklin?Copy !req
260. Mr. Chadwick,
this is Leon Bernstein,Copy !req
261. otherwise known
as The Great Bernzini.Copy !req
262. Bernzy, this is Special Agent Chadwick
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.Copy !req
263. - Nice to meet ya.
- Hey, knock it off.Copy !req
264. What was your business
with Portifino?Copy !req
265. I told you. I just called
on him as a favor to a friend.Copy !req
266. That's right. What'd you say your
friend's name was? I didn't say.Copy !req
267. Listen, what are you
investigating exactly?Copy !req
268. Mr. Bernstein, Detective Conklin tells us you
know many members of the mob in New York.Copy !req
269. I also know the cops
and washroom attendants.Copy !req
270. It's the only way a good
photographer can stay in business.Copy !req
271. I mean, a tabloid photographer,
not a Stieglitz or a Steichen.Copy !req
272. Excuse me. Steinwitz or...Copy !req
273. The second and third best
photographers in the country.Copy !req
274. Don't mobsters sometimes say they
won't let anybody but you take their picture?Copy !req
275. Mmm. I bet you get to know a lot
of criminals in your line of work too.Copy !req
276. Maybe not.Copy !req
277. - Was Portifino with the mob?
- I don't know. Was he?Copy !req
278. I'll ask the questions here. How did he
come to town and set himself up so fast?Copy !req
279. Look, you know this guy
better than I do, obviously.Copy !req
280. I called Conklin. The next thing I
know you already have the address.Copy !req
281. Where'd Portifino
get his money?Copy !req
282. I don't know.
I don't know anything.Copy !req
283. I see this guy once
for five seconds.Copy !req
284. The next time I see him,
which was tonight, he ain't too chatty.Copy !req
285. - Look, I gotta go now. I got a job.
- You got a job?Copy !req
286. Yes, I have a job.
I'm a freelance photographer.Copy !req
287. If I'm not on the street by midnight,
the whole world passes me by.Copy !req
288. Tough way
to make a living.Copy !req
289. You hoped to get money from Portifino,
is that right?Copy !req
290. What? You intended
to blackmail him.Copy !req
291. This is a gag,
right?Copy !req
292. Mr. Bernstein, you came to this country
from Russia when you were six years old.Copy !req
293. All right, that's it. I have to have
my sell meeting in a half an hour.Copy !req
294. Where do you think
you're goin'?Copy !req
295. You know, you're tellin' me
more than I'm tellin' you.Copy !req
296. I could see this guy got rich quick
doin' something you really didn't like.Copy !req
297. When you
bring up Russia,Copy !req
298. I figure it's something
treasonous. Mr. Bernstein...Copy !req
299. Mr. Bernstein,
I'm sorry we took you away from your work.Copy !req
300. This is a time of war.Copy !req
301. We know you'll keep your conjectures
about Mr. Portifino to yourself.Copy !req
302. Fact is, we know
very little about him.Copy !req
303. We were hoping
you could fill us in.Copy !req
304. Yeah, yeah, sure,
okay. Can I have my film plates back now?Copy !req
305. We can't give them to you.
Not for a couple of days.Copy !req
306. He's news tonight. In a few days,
I won't be able to sell them.Copy !req
307. Check back with Agent
Chadwick tomorrow morning.Copy !req
308. He'll give you the proper
forms to fill in.Copy !req
309. Don't do that.
Get in the car, please.Copy !req
310. All right, all right. Come on!Copy !req
311. What's up? You're Farinelli's boys,
right? Get in the car.Copy !req
312. You're Tonio. I know
you. Just get in the car.Copy !req
313. What's up?
Jesus, get in the car.Copy !req
314. Let me get my camera.
Just get in the car.Copy !req
315. Let me just get my camera.
Get in the car.Copy !req
316. Come on, Tonio,
let me get my camera. Get in the car.Copy !req
317. Okay, I'm in the car. Can I get my camera now,
please?Copy !req
318. I'm comin', I'm comin'.Copy !req
319. What are you pushin' him
around for? We know this guy.Copy !req
320. - Sorry, Mr. Farinelli.
- Have a seat, Bernzy.Copy !req
321. Want a drink?
You got coffee?Copy !req
322. You'll be up all night.Copy !req
323. Go to the corner.
Get him a cup of coffee.Copy !req
324. You know Mickey and Sal?Copy !req
325. Hiya, Bernzy.
Bernzy?Copy !req
326. Bernzy.Copy !req
327. So you found the body of this punk Portifino,
right? Yeah.Copy !req
328. - What do you know about him?
- Nothin' really.Copy !req
329. Then why'd you call the feds?
I didn't.Copy !req
330. I called the cops
like I usually do.Copy !req
331. They're the ones
who called the F.B.I.Copy !req
332. Okay, Bernzy,
so we're misinformed. You didn't call the feds.Copy !req
333. But I'd still like to know how
you knew Portifino. I didn't.Copy !req
334. You didn't?
No.Copy !req
335. I mean, I met him the other
night at the Cafe Society.Copy !req
336. And, uh, he wanted somebody
to take his picture...Copy !req
337. and, uh, he offered
a good buck for it.Copy !req
338. You don't do commissions.Copy !req
339. Two years ago my sister's boy made
communion. I offered you plenty of money.Copy !req
340. I don't do commissions,
but I got a good nose for news.Copy !req
341. Talkin' to this kid,
it smelled like there might be somethin' in it.Copy !req
342. That's it.
That's all.Copy !req
343. Oh, that's all?
Yeah.Copy !req
344. How dare you
lie to me!Copy !req
345. Okay, Bernzy.
Okay.Copy !req
346. As it is,
I gotta trust you. You never crossed nobody.Copy !req
347. You do nothin' but snap pictures
noon and night.Copy !req
348. What is it
with you anyway?Copy !req
349. Dope fiends
live better than you.Copy !req
350. You're a fuckin' freak,
you know that?Copy !req
351. Yeah? Well, like the guy who used to
shovel elephant shit said to the circus owner,Copy !req
352. "What, give up showbiz?"Copy !req
353. Here. Here's
for the camera.Copy !req
354. Do me a favor, Bernzy.Copy !req
355. Don't go around talkin' about this dead guy,
uh, what's-his-name.Copy !req
356. All right?
Right.Copy !req
357. Thank you. Thank you.Copy !req
358. I don't know. Maybe he is.
He's gettin' in.Copy !req
359. See anybody else?Copy !req
360. Hey, Bernzy,
how do you rate?Copy !req
361. I don't understand.
The F.B. I? Think I do?Copy !req
362. Look, I don't do favors for
people. You see what happens?Copy !req
363. I walk in here. You give me a
drink. I start feelin' good about myself.Copy !req
364. The next thing I know,
the F.B.I. Calls me a communist,Copy !req
365. and some gangster
uses me to wax his floor with.Copy !req
366. - I'm sorry.
- Yeah, like you didn't know
that guy was mob.Copy !req
367. You didn't either. Like there was
nobody else you could've asked.Copy !req
368. I did ask.
Nobody knew him.Copy !req
369. Why'd you ever ask me up here
in the first place?Copy !req
370. Lou trusted you.
I told you he said that...Copy !req
371. Lou thought I was like those flies outside,
buzzin' around to take a picture of Rita Hayworth.Copy !req
372. That's not true. A little parasite,
preyin' on people's misery.Copy !req
373. You're not the only one who
knows what people say about you.Copy !req
374. It doesn't matter what they
say... unless you believe them.Copy !req
375. Why do you think
I asked you?Copy !req
376. I'd be so overwhelmed to be
invited into the inner sanctum...Copy !req
377. that I would jump into the
street to do your dirty work.Copy !req
378. You could've asked any one of
those schmucks with cameras outside.Copy !req
379. I can see you have
a high opinion of me.Copy !req
380. You're not like those guys outside,
Bernzy. You believe in something. Your book.Copy !req
381. How do you know
about my book?Copy !req
382. Lou told me.Copy !req
383. And when I knew I needed
someone I could trust...Copy !req
384. I hope you're not
just sayin' this.Copy !req
385. Why should I?
I don't know.Copy !req
386. I mean, this is the first time I heard that,
uh, Lou Levitz had an interest in my book.Copy !req
387. Lou had every great artist from
Paris to Hollywood stopping in here.Copy !req
388. He knew they were great
because they were rolling in it.Copy !req
389. That's all he knew or ever
wanted to know about artists.Copy !req
390. What do you know
about them?Copy !req
391. Nothing.Copy !req
392. I knew a little
something once...Copy !req
393. when I wanted
to be one...Copy !req
394. on the stage.Copy !req
395. I still know enough
to know you're the real thing,Copy !req
396. or you'd have given up
long ago.Copy !req
397. You see, I never was.Copy !req
398. Having this place is the
closest I'll ever come to it.Copy !req
399. I am sorry
for all the trouble.Copy !req
400. What's this? Pictures
I took in the club.Copy !req
401. I see. When?Copy !req
402. Thank you.Copy !req
403. Yeah. Well,
it's not over just because Portifino's dead.Copy !req
404. Somebody else is gonna come into
this club and tell you they're Lou's partner.Copy !req
405. But why?Copy !req
406. I think he was involved
in something really bad.Copy !req
407. You don't know
what it is, do ya?Copy !req
408. I could probably
find out what it is.Copy !req
409. I mean,
I could do that. You don't have to.Copy !req
410. Maybe I could show you
my book sometime.Copy !req
411. I'd like that, Bernzy.Copy !req
412. Bernzy, I didn't think any of my
real friends could get into this place.Copy !req
413. Lonely at the top,
kiddo. Come on. Come on. Sit down for a minute.Copy !req
414. Come on. Sit down. All right,
half a minute.Copy !req
415. Ah, come on.
Don't be a pill.Copy !req
416. How else you ever gonna sit here? Hack makes good,
huh, Bernzy?Copy !req
417. I want you to meet Vera Hixon. Vera,
this is The Great Bernzini.Copy !req
418. The best shutterbug... You
seen my show? Don't worry.Copy !req
419. It's on my calendar. Brooklyn Rhapsod]y,
Winter Garden Theater.Copy !req
420. But you know I work nights. Oh,
it's a beautiful show.Copy !req
421. I'm sure it is.
I know what you think.Copy !req
422. Why should I go see a bunch of Arty's old
columns dramatized when I already read 'em?Copy !req
423. That's not true.
I never read 'em.Copy !req
424. Hey, waiter! Waiter!Copy !req
425. Waiter!
Come on! I'm dyin' here.Copy !req
426. Arty, I have to go.
I'm 57 years old.Copy !req
427. Think she would have looked at me six months ago,
hmm?Copy !req
428. Hmm. Arty.Copy !req
429. Best shutterbug in New York.
Know what that means?Copy !req
430. It means that your pictures are catchin'
bird shit at the bottom of the cage...Copy !req
431. six hours
after the papers come out.Copy !req
432. Just like
my columns used to.Copy !req
433. Hey, waiter. M...
Arty.Copy !req
434. Please. No. Come on. Will
you lay off? Will you lay off?Copy !req
435. At least if you paint pictures,
you write books, they say,Copy !req
436. "Okay, so he didn't
have a life.Copy !req
437. He didn't have any money. He
didn't even have a steady girl.Copy !req
438. Look what he painted.
Look what he wrote."Copy !req
439. She wouldn't have pissed
on me six months ago.Copy !req
440. Excuse me.
Miss Hixon.Copy !req
441. Ah, Vera, come on.
Vera.Copy !req
442. Arty, you better
apologize to that lady.Copy !req
443. Look who's giving me advice
on my love life. Listen.Copy !req
444. Listen to somebody who really
knows. Nobody could love you.Copy !req
445. No woman could love some shabby
little guy who sleeps in his clothes,Copy !req
446. eats out of cans, cozies up to corpses
so much he begins to stink like one.Copy !req
447. You should get a refund
from that charm school.Copy !req
448. Bernzy,
come on back.Copy !req
449. Bernzy,
I'm sorry.Copy !req
450. Why don't you tell me what
the trouble is, Mrs. Levitz?Copy !req
451. Why would such a lovely lady
even think to rely on a man like that?Copy !req
452. I know what I'm doing.
'Tisn't easy, is it?Copy !req
453. Holdin' on
to a place like this.Copy !req
454. Who knows why they come
or when they'll stop.Copy !req
455. That's enough.
I know what I'm doing.Copy !req
456. I hope you're not startin' to mistake
him for a real person, Mrs. Levitz.Copy !req
457. As for this favor he's doin' ya,
don't count on it.Copy !req
458. Do you know what a shutterbug does
when he finds an abandoned baby?Copy !req
459. He jabs it with a diaper pin because
pictures of cryin' babies are worth a dollar more.Copy !req
460. Saturday Evening Post,
"Brave Men In Blue."Copy !req
461. Come on,
you must have seen it.Copy !req
462. Weren't you here earlier?
With Chadwick?Copy !req
463. Yeah, that's
when I spotted ya.Copy !req
464. I said to myself,
now there's a heroic profile.Copy !req
465. Then Chadwick told me
about that thing you did.Copy !req
466. What, the jumper?
Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
467. On the fire escape?
Uh-huh.Copy !req
468. I didn't even think
he knew about that.Copy !req
469. Oh, he told me about how you
helped him talk the guy down.Copy !req
470. He said what?
Son of a bitch wasn't even here.Copy !req
471. That's something...Copy !req
472. How people try to take credit
when they didn't even do anything.Copy !req
473. All right, I'm gonna call this caption,
"The Guardian."Copy !req
474. You can't take a picture
here. One picture. Real fast.Copy !req
475. Don't slouch. Sit up straight. Come on,
great big smile.Copy !req
476. Smile! Whoops.Copy !req
477. Now what's the problem?Copy !req
478. You got a little
somethin' on your tooth.Copy !req
479. Let me see.
I get it?Copy !req
480. Nah, don't worry about it. It probably
won't show up in the magazine anyway.Copy !req
481. Where you goin'?
I'll be right back.Copy !req
482. You might want to freshen up,
comb your hair. It's up to you.Copy !req
483. Come with me.Copy !req
484. What is that,
cologne?Copy !req
485. What is this?Copy !req
486. Call Chadwick and tell him Bernstein's
not leavin' until he gets his plates back.Copy !req
487. He says anything
about your profile,Copy !req
488. shoot him.Copy !req
489. Let me talk
to him too.Copy !req
490. I wanna tell him about
our little photo session.Copy !req
491. You don't mind,
do you? You got two minutes to leave the building.Copy !req
492. Hey, Freddy,
you got any black gas?Copy !req
493. - What kind of gas?
- Black gas.Copy !req
494. Black... I don't know.
Black market gas?Copy !req
495. - Only gas we got here
is Mobil.
- Thanks.Copy !req
496. Until next week then,Copy !req
497. this is Red Skelton
saying good-bye now.Copy !req
498. Thanks for listening!Copy !req
499. Oh, Jesus.
His hat fell off.Copy !req
500. Huh?
His hat fell off.Copy !req
501. Put it back on for me. People like
to see the dead guy with his hat on.Copy !req
502. Maybe I should pull
his dick out.Copy !req
503. Maybe they'd like
to see a dead guy's dick.Copy !req
504. Who'd this guy
work for, Bernzy?Copy !req
505. Spoleto.Copy !req
506. Spoleto. Spoleto and
Farinelli all month long.Copy !req
507. What are they fightin'
over? I don't know.Copy !req
508. Look at this. Look at this. Son of a bitch
had six months' worth of gas coupons.Copy !req
509. Wish I could get my hands
on that many. Take 'em.Copy !req
510. You're kidding?Copy !req
511. Wash 'em off.
They're like gold, ain't they?Copy !req
512. He's got no use
for 'em now.Copy !req
513. Hey,
Bernzy. I want you to tell Kay who I am.Copy !req
514. I'm sure she knows who you are.
She just got out of a car with ya.Copy !req
515. Bernzy,
tell her who I am.Copy !req
516. Kay Levitz,
Marc-Antony Spoleto.Copy !req
517. Mr. Spoleto has the entire
west side of Manhattan to himself.Copy !req
518. Oh, well, then it's lucky
for us we're on the east side.Copy !req
519. That's no way to talk to your new partner,
Kay.Copy !req
520. You tell her,
Bernzy.Copy !req
521. Come inside.
Bernzy gonna set her straight?Copy !req
522. If he's thinkin' straight.
Why wouldn't he be?Copy !req
523. Look at 'em over there. It's like that
movie with the Hunchback and Sarsaparilla.Copy !req
524. You mean Esmeralda.
Whatever.Copy !req
525. What's uglier than somebody stealin' from
the fighting boys to feather their own nest?Copy !req
526. But Lou wouldn't have
done that. He did it.Copy !req
527. No. He has two nephews in the service.
He never would have done anything...Copy !req
528. Kay. Kay,
he did it.Copy !req
529. I mean, do you know how rich you could
get if you could control the gas coupons?Copy !req
530. Listen, if there's
one thing I know,Copy !req
531. people ain't human when
there's enough money involved.Copy !req
532. I got pictures of guys
killed over 50 cents.Copy !req
533. And to somebody
that was enough.Copy !req
534. Jesus.
So that's it.Copy !req
535. He, uh, hitched himself
to these hoods...Copy !req
536. and now I'm stuck
with them for partners.Copy !req
537. See, they don't
have partners.Copy !req
538. You'd be out.Copy !req
539. I see.Copy !req
540. Look how much we know
about these guys already.Copy !req
541. All we gotta do is get
somethin' on 'em.Copy !req
542. Like, uh,
maybe a picture.Copy !req
543. Of what?
I don't know.Copy !req
544. I just know there's always a
picture once you know where to look.Copy !req
545. Why are you doing
this, Bernzy?Copy !req
546. All right, look,Copy !req
547. I need to know exactly
what Spoleto said to you,Copy !req
548. and don't
leave anything out.Copy !req
549. Yeah, okay.Copy !req
550. Uh, he said he wanted
to see the books.Copy !req
551. And when I refused, he said,
"You'd better ask your boyfriend about me."Copy !req
552. Your boyfriend?Copy !req
553. - He meant you.
- Right.Copy !req
554. He knew you'd been up to my
office. He seemed to know a lot.Copy !req
555. Well, I'm sure he's got at least
one waiter on the payroll by now.Copy !req
556. Whichever one heard Portifino
ask you to take his picture.Copy !req
557. What? I never even
talked to Portifino.Copy !req
558. That's what he said.
I'm sure of it.Copy !req
559. That was something I made
up when I was talkin' to Farinelli.Copy !req
560. Christ Almighty.
What?Copy !req
561. One of Farinelli's boys is
sellin' information to Spoleto.Copy !req
562. I'm gonna find out
who it is.Copy !req
563. 1.66, Bernzy.Copy !req
564. Put it on my bill.
Sure.Copy !req
565. Gonna get some more shots
in a movie house?Copy !req
566. Some place even darker,
I think. Will it work?Copy !req
567. I don't know. Can't say really.Copy !req
568. What is it?Copy !req
569. Must be them squirrels.Copy !req
570. Come on.Copy !req
571. So it's you, Sal.Copy !req
572. Christ Almighty.Copy !req
573. Good evening,
Mr. Brown. Table seven, Fredo.Copy !req
574. I'm afraid Mrs. Levitz is in number
seven this evening, Mr. Brown.Copy !req
575. Who's the gentleman?Copy !req
576. Oh, I believe he's a poet who
recently escaped Mr. Hitler.Copy !req
577. That's still no excuse,
is it? No, sir. Exactly, sir.Copy !req
578. This is an incriminating picture of the informer,
Sal Minetto.Copy !req
579. Do you have a safe
or something at home?Copy !req
580. If I wind up dead,
give the picture to Frank Farinelli.Copy !req
581. I'm givin' you the picture,
which guarantees I'm not gonna wind up dead.Copy !req
582. You understand?
Wait.Copy !req
583. Bernzy,
I don't... Nothing's gonna happen.Copy !req
584. That's just
what I'm sayin'.Copy !req
585. As long as you keep this
in a safe place.Copy !req
586. Don't worry about it.
Come on, just take it.Copy !req
587. My old man was in
this country 27 years.Copy !req
588. It's like
he never left Russia.Copy !req
589. I'd say, "Pa, for God's sake,
you're in America now.Copy !req
590. Do something. Read the funny papers,
go to a ball game,Copy !req
591. try to act
comfortable."Copy !req
592. You need a drink.Copy !req
593. That's how they all get
the impression they belong.Copy !req
594. That's all it takes?
Mm-hmm.Copy !req
595. Give me
a stiff one then.Copy !req
596. So,
is that it? Is that your book? Yeah.Copy !req
597. Show it to me.
When? Now?Copy !req
598. Yeah. Please?
Come on.Copy !req
599. Really?
Yeah.Copy !req
600. All right.Copy !req
601. Kay.Copy !req
602. Henry,
how are you?Copy !req
603. I'd like you to meet
my friend, Leon Bernstein.Copy !req
604. Bernzy, this is
Henry Haddock, Jr.Copy !req
605. Mr. Bernstein.Copy !req
606. I've got half
the MGM brass over there,Copy !req
607. dying to meet you before they
catch their train back to the coast.Copy !req
608. Give me a minute, okay? No,
no, they're about to go.Copy !req
609. And I promised they would
get to meet our beautiful hostess.Copy !req
610. It's okay.
Go ahead.Copy !req
611. Excuse me.Copy !req
612. Where'd he go? I'm sure I don't know,
Mrs. Levitz.Copy !req
613. Did he leave his book
with you? He spared us that.Copy !req
614. Give me the umbrella.
Give it to me!Copy !req
615. Taxi! Taxi!Copy !req
616. Is Sal around?Copy !req
617. Hold on.
I'll get him.Copy !req
618. - Sal, there's someone here for you.
- Who is it?Copy !req
619. I don't know. You
could've asked.Copy !req
620. Yeah? Hey, Sal, I'm Bernzy,
the photographer.Copy !req
621. Yeah. I know who you are. Listen,
I wanna talk to you. Can I come in?Copy !req
622. What about?Copy !req
623. About, uh, Farinelli,
your boss...Copy !req
624. and Spoleto,
your friend.Copy !req
625. Come in.Copy !req
626. Go in there.
In the kitchen.Copy !req
627. Who sent you?Copy !req
628. I have three more of these in
sealed envelopes with people I trust.Copy !req
629. If anything happens to me,
they go right to Farinelli.Copy !req
630. Ma, not now, huh?
Not now, huh?Copy !req
631. What is this? Huh?
Well...Copy !req
632. You comin' into my house
with this shit? We should talk...Copy !req
633. You bother my mother? Come
here. Get the fuck out! Hey, hey, hey!Copy !req
634. Keep your hands off me.Copy !req
635. I'm going.
Get out.Copy !req
636. I'm going.Copy !req
637. Keep that picture!
That one's a gift!Copy !req
638. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.Copy !req
639. Come here.Copy !req
640. Portofino's just
a punk in D.C.Copy !req
641. He's frontin' for somebody who can
get the stamps from inside the A. P...Copy !req
642. .P.A.
Huh?Copy !req
643. .P.A. It's Office of Price Administration. Yeah,
right. Whatever.Copy !req
644. But he can't unload 'em.
He knows nobody.Copy !req
645. The heads of the five
families won't touch him...Copy !req
646. because they're gettin'
amnesty from the feds...Copy !req
647. to work with the Italian
mobs against Mussolini.Copy !req
648. So then he hears Lou
Levitz on some radio show.Copy !req
649. Friend of the stars,
onetime bootlegger, Mr. New York.Copy !req
650. He figures maybe an old-timer like
Levitz knows how to unload hot coupons.Copy !req
651. So he goes to him,
and Levitz is interested, all right.Copy !req
652. He sees that maybe
there's millions in it,Copy !req
653. and he's got a hot young wife to support,
and he don't have to lift a finger.Copy !req
654. All he's gotta do is turn the stamps
over to Spoleto for a fat percentage.Copy !req
655. She knew about this?Copy !req
656. Who?
His wife.Copy !req
657. No, I didn't
say that.Copy !req
658. Oh.Copy !req
659. Did she?Copy !req
660. I don't know.
How should I know?Copy !req
661. Go ahead.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.Copy !req
662. Then Levitz dies, okay?
Portofino's such an idiot,Copy !req
663. he figures now he's free to go
sell the stamps to somebody else.Copy !req
664. By this time he's met Farinelli,
so he goes to him.Copy !req
665. He never mentions Spoleto.
He signed his own death warrant.Copy !req
666. That's it,
end of story.Copy !req
667. Wait a minute. Didn't they lose the
source when they killed Portofino?Copy !req
668. What happened to his man
inside the.P. A?Copy !req
669. They tortured him. They
got the name of the source.Copy !req
670. Who killed him?Copy !req
671. I don't know.Copy !req
672. Everybody was
after this guy.Copy !req
673. Ma, how many times
I gotta tell you?Copy !req
674. Ma che c'è?
Niente! Niente!Copy !req
675. Who killed him?Copy !req
676. Farinelli.Copy !req
677. Let me see if
I got this straight now.Copy !req
678. Your boss,
Farinelli,Copy !req
679. gets the name of the source
from Portofino and then kills him.Copy !req
680. Spoleto, his rival,Copy !req
681. doesn't get the name
until you tell him?Copy !req
682. Isn't Farinelli gonna be a
little upset about that, Sal?Copy !req
683. Huh?
I don't know.Copy !req
684. You don't know? Come on,
you know. You're not stupid, Sal.Copy !req
685. Hey, come on.Copy !req
686. I printed that up a little darker,
a little more dramatic.Copy !req
687. So what's Spoleto
gonna do?Copy !req
688. Come on, huh?Copy !req
689. Hey, come on, all right?
I told you what I know.Copy !req
690. You didn't tell me
what Spoleto's gonna do.Copy !req
691. Just tell me
what he's gonna do.Copy !req
692. Come on,
what's he gonna do?Copy !req
693. He's gonna kill Farinelli.
Is that it?Copy !req
694. No.Copy !req
695. It's worse.Copy !req
696. Spoleto's gonna wipe out
Farinelli's whole gang,Copy !req
697. all my family.Copy !req
698. And I'm gonna tell him
where and when.Copy !req
699. Okay?Copy !req
700. A massacre.Copy !req
701. Hey, Sal.Copy !req
702. I wanna know
where and when too.Copy !req
703. Why? What do you
wanna know for?Copy !req
704. Huh? What, you wanna call the
feds? They just wanna cover this up.Copy !req
705. What do you
wanna know for?Copy !req
706. I wanna take some pictures.Copy !req
707. 459 in progress at 53 West Eighth Street.Copy !req
708. - Hello?
- Spoleto was just here.Copy !req
709. All right, don't move.
I'll be right there.Copy !req
710. What happened?
What did he do?Copy !req
711. He was here
with three men... thugs.Copy !req
712. And, uh, he kept asking,
"Who's this...Copy !req
713. Who's the inside... Who's the source,
Kay? Who's the inside man?"Copy !req
714. Sit down.
Did he hit you?Copy !req
715. No, he says
that comes next time.Copy !req
716. He knows the name.
Sal told him.Copy !req
717. He just wants to see if you
know. You're trouble if you know.Copy !req
718. You don't know, right?Copy !req
719. I don't even know what he's talking
about. I know. I didn't mean that.Copy !req
720. Um...Copy !req
721. You know this guy?Copy !req
722. Thatcher Gray.
He comes to the club.Copy !req
723. He had cabinet jobs with
two Republican administrations.Copy !req
724. Now he's got an honorary post at
the Office of Price Administration.Copy !req
725. Is he my partner too?Copy !req
726. My God.
Don't worry about it.Copy !req
727. They're all finished
as soon as I get the pictures.Copy !req
728. Pictures of what?Copy !req
729. To Hitler and his minions,Copy !req
730. lines like these are the shallow symbols of unity.Copy !req
731. But with lines like these,Copy !req
732. America shows the Nazi
aggressors the real meaning of unity.Copy !req
733. As.P.A. Official Thatcher Gray reminds us:Copy !req
734. Americans know that to fight this
menace halfway around the globe,Copy !req
735. it takes more than the valiant men...Copy !req
736. and mighty machines of our armed services.Copy !req
737. It takes gas.Copy !req
738. Farinelli takes the boys out
to dinner every so often.Copy !req
739. He's takin' us Friday night.
That's when he's hit.Copy !req
740. Where?
What time?Copy !req
741. Dinner's at 8:00.
I get up to take a leak at 8:15,Copy !req
742. and that's when
Spoleto's men come in.Copy !req
743. Where? I don't know
yet. We never do.Copy !req
744. He always calls us around 6:30
the day of the dinner.Copy !req
745. For safety.Copy !req
746. It's usually some little family
place down in Little Italy.Copy !req
747. Family?Copy !req
748. Don't worry about it. He takes
the whole place over for the night.Copy !req
749. As soon as you hear Friday,
even before Spoleto, call me.Copy !req
750. Spoleto's lieutenant's gonna be there
when I get the call. He'll leave right away.Copy !req
751. Then I'll call you.
Hey, Sal.Copy !req
752. Don't let me down.Copy !req
753. You oughta lock
your door, Bernzy.Copy !req
754. Look, I, uh,Copy !req
755. came to apologize
about the other night.Copy !req
756. Crazy thing is,Copy !req
757. I'm in love with Vera...
Miss Hixon.Copy !req
758. I kinda figured that.Copy !req
759. You didn't by any chance...Copy !req
760. It was addressed to me. It said,
"To be opened," so I opened it.Copy !req
761. Yeah, but in the
event of my death.Copy !req
762. Only I got kinda busy
and never got quite that far.Copy !req
763. That's what I figured
after I read it.Copy !req
764. Why are you doing this,
Bernzy? Why?Copy !req
765. That's what I do,
isn't it?Copy !req
766. I mean, life as it happens.
That's my motto for 23 years.Copy !req
767. This is death
as it happens.Copy !req
768. But that's the main thing
about life, isn't it?Copy !req
769. I mean,
half the shots I get...Copy !req
770. are of somebody
just before or just after.Copy !req
771. For once I'll get it during.
You could stop it.Copy !req
772. You could go to
the cops. Really?Copy !req
773. You think that'd stop it?Copy !req
774. It's war, Arty.
These guys ain't gonna lay off.Copy !req
775. - I thought you
never took sides.
- What are you gettin' at?Copy !req
776. You're doing it
for her.Copy !req
777. You're nuts.
Am I? Am I?Copy !req
778. Come on,
you're in love with her.Copy !req
779. Here, Arty. Here.
Here it is.Copy !req
780. The whole history of New York,
right here with me in this dump.Copy !req
781. And it ain't because
I ran around interferin',Copy !req
782. hosin' down fires or tellin'
people to behave nice.Copy !req
783. Nah. They pay people
to do that.Copy !req
784. Not me! I'm an artist.Copy !req
785. And I'm gonna let people do
whatever the hell they're gonna do...Copy !req
786. - 'cause it's the only way
I could do it right!
- Wait a minute. Stop it.Copy !req
787. I may be the only guy
in New York...Copy !req
788. who thinks you are an artist
and not some sort of an animal.Copy !req
789. But even I'm not so sure
about this thing.Copy !req
790. It's got a stink about it.
Look... Look,Copy !req
791. I know how much it hurts to be ignored,
not even reviled.Copy !req
792. Just ignored. But if
you're doing it for her,Copy !req
793. you're riskin' your life for nothing,
for less than nothing.Copy !req
794. You already have a picture
of Spoleto with Thatcher Gray.Copy !req
795. Isn't that dynamite enough? No.Copy !req
796. I need the event to capture
the public eye.Copy !req
797. I gotta get the moment. Bernzy,
don't bullshit me.Copy !req
798. You wouldn't be in this thing half
so deep if you could express, say,Copy !req
799. three human emotions without
a camera plastered to your face.Copy !req
800. Just because the drama critic of
the Tribune calls you "insightful"...Copy !req
801. doesn't mean
it's true.Copy !req
802. A mansion on the West Side.
A place on the South Shore.Copy !req
803. She milked Levitz so dry,
he sold himself to a worm like Spoleto.Copy !req
804. I'm telling you,
I wouldn't be surprised...Copy !req
805. if she's in on this thing
from the very first.Copy !req
806. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
You don't hit people, Bernzy.Copy !req
807. We don't hit people, do we?
People like us.Copy !req
808. Night, Arty.
Thanks for the apology.Copy !req
809. Hey,
wait up. I gotta talk to Kay.Copy !req
810. Kay? Uh, no,
it's not a good time. Come back later.Copy !req
811. What are you talkin' about? Look,
Mr. Bernstein, I'm sorry.Copy !req
812. Personally, I like you,
but you're not welcome here anymore.Copy !req
813. What? Mrs. Levitz's orders.Copy !req
814. There were too many complaints
from the customers the last time.Copy !req
815. She feels
real bad about it,Copy !req
816. but she knows that
you'Il understand.Copy !req
817. Make sure she gets this.
I'll pick it up Saturday.Copy !req
818. Here, put that
in Mrs. Levitz's office.Copy !req
819. You sent him away.Copy !req
820. There was
too much talk.Copy !req
821. Last time I looked,
it was my signature on the checks.Copy !req
822. Mrs. Levitz, it would never have
gone this far if Mr. Levitz was still alive.Copy !req
823. Leave the uniform
with Fredo.Copy !req
824. With all due respect,
Mrs. Levitz,Copy !req
825. I'm an institution
in this place.Copy !req
826. - I know everybody...
- Oh, you don't know anybody.Copy !req
827. You know what they tip. You know
what you read. You know what they wear.Copy !req
828. But don't kid yourself
you know them.Copy !req
829. Any more than I do.Copy !req
830. Why are you
giving this to me?Copy !req
831. You shouldn't
be here, Kay.Copy !req
832. This isn't
a place for you.Copy !req
833. I've seen worse.Copy !req
834. Didn't, uh,
Danny tell you?Copy !req
835. I just wanted you
to hold on to that, that's all.Copy !req
836. Till after the, uh...Copy !req
837. Till after what?
Nothin'.Copy !req
838. What are these pictures
you're going to take?Copy !req
839. Why are you afraid
to tell me?Copy !req
840. Bernzy.Copy !req
841. Spoleto's gonna wipe out
Farinelli's whole gang.Copy !req
842. I'm gonna
take pictures.Copy !req
843. What happens
if they see you there?Copy !req
844. I know what I'm doin'. Then
why did you give me the book?Copy !req
845. They're not gonna
see me. Bernzy.Copy !req
846. Why are you
doing this?Copy !req
847. Why?Copy !req
848. It's what I do.Copy !req
849. That's all.Copy !req
850. That's all?Copy !req
851. Yeah.Copy !req
852. Ask me.Copy !req
853. Don't make me ask you.Copy !req
854. Danny seems to think you've
learned all about my business with Lou.Copy !req
855. Is that true?Copy !req
856. Danny seems to think Bernzy's
the one who found out about it.Copy !req
857. Tell me how Bernzy
found out, Kay.Copy !req
858. I need to know
how Bernzy found out.Copy !req
859. You're
a practical girl, Kay.Copy !req
860. Do you really think a man like
Bernzy can protect you from me?Copy !req
861. A little man with a camera
and a five-cent cigar. Stop it.Copy !req
862. You don't know
the first thing about him.Copy !req
863. Your loyalty's
touching, Kay,Copy !req
864. especially when you think of
everything you've got to lose.Copy !req
865. I'll ask you again.Copy !req
866. You really think
a man like Bernzy...Copy !req
867. can protect you
from a man like me?Copy !req
868. Hello?
Hey!Copy !req
869. How are you, Mr. Farinelli?
Okay, good.Copy !req
870. Yeah,
D'Angelo's Cafe. Yeah.Copy !req
871. Sure I know it.Copy !req
872. Okay, yeah.
I'll see you later. Okay.Copy !req
873. I guess you heard.Copy !req
874. D'Angelo's.Copy !req
875. You're feelin'
kinda rotten, huh?Copy !req
876. You know it.Copy !req
877. You'll get
over it.Copy !req
878. Salvatore!Copy !req
879. Yeah, is Sal there?Copy !req
880. Oh, God.Copy !req
881. He takes the place over. He takes
the place over. He takes it over.Copy !req
882. Adrica's.
Yeah, I need a reservation for tonight.Copy !req
883. For how many?
Ah.Copy !req
884. Yeah, listen. I need a
reservation for tonight. What time?Copy !req
885. D'Angelo's.
D'Angelo's.Copy !req
886. D'Angelo's Cafe. Yeah,
listen. I need a reservation for tonight.Copy !req
887. No, we are all booked. Private party. Oh,
that's too bad.Copy !req
888. Maybe tomorrow night. You still in the same place,
same address?Copy !req
889. Si.
Thanks.Copy !req
890. 34 sergeant is en route to 215th and Broadway.Copy !req
891. Sergeant, you respond on 623 West 204?Copy !req
892. Negative.Copy !req
893. Get a move on, huh?Copy !req
894. - Come on! Get outta the way!
- Oh, yeah? Says who?Copy !req
895. Looks like he took the fire escape. Anyway,
he ain't here.Copy !req
896. No matter.
We'll get him later.Copy !req
897. Bernstein got away.Copy !req
898. We'll go ahead with
the hit as planned.Copy !req
899. Is that really wise,
Mr. Spoleto?Copy !req
900. He don't know where
it's gonna happen.Copy !req
901. He don't know
it's D'Angelo's.Copy !req
902. We're home free.Copy !req
903. Hey, listen.
How much they pay you here?Copy !req
904. Two-fifty?
Three dollars a week? Huh?Copy !req
905. Two months' pay.Copy !req
906. Three months' pay. Don't wanna haggle or anything,
okay?Copy !req
907. Psst. Hey.Copy !req
908. - Signor Farinelli. Come stai, paesano?
- Come stai?Copy !req
909. - Grazie.
- Prego.Copy !req
910. I got some bad news
just before I left the house.Copy !req
911. Si.
Grazie.Copy !req
912. This time
it's Salvatore.Copy !req
913. Buona sera, signori. Buon appetito.Copy !req
914. Basta!Copy !req
915. Hold it! Hey,
w-where ya goin'?Copy !req
916. Bernzy!
Bernzy?Copy !req
917. Come on. Let's go.
My God, you did it.Copy !req
918. Now, Arty.
Come on.Copy !req
919. What if Spoleto
finds ya?Copy !req
920. He's finished the second
this hits the papers.Copy !req
921. With any luck,
I'll be arrested first.Copy !req
922. Jesus, Bernzy,
you're bleeding.Copy !req
923. Just get that to
the Mirror, the News,Copy !req
924. the Post, Telegraph
and Life magazine.Copy !req
925. I know the routine.Copy !req
926. And this
you'll need too.Copy !req
927. It's that picture of
Thatcher Gray with Spoleto.Copy !req
928. Come on.Copy !req
929. Suspect's car has been
located at 401 West 81st Street.Copy !req
930. There he is. Arty,
you go on now. I will.Copy !req
931. Sorry,
Bernzy. Take it easy. He's bleeding.Copy !req
932. Go ahead, Arthur.Copy !req
933. You gonna be okay?
Yes. Go ahead.Copy !req
934. I said he's bleeding,
for Christ's sake.Copy !req
935. Arty, go now, huh?
Okay, okay.Copy !req
936. Read him the statutes about
withholding evidence again.Copy !req
937. I told ya.
I had no evidence.Copy !req
938. You had a picture of
Thatcher Gray with Spoleto.Copy !req
939. If you'd turned it over,
we'd have known who the inside man was.Copy !req
940. That's your job.
I just take pictures.Copy !req
941. You're outta your
league here, Bernstein.Copy !req
942. The police may
take this lightly,Copy !req
943. but I'll be goddamned if
the Bureau's gonna allow...Copy !req
944. some picture peddler to create a
government scandal that hurts the war effort.Copy !req
945. I didn't create
your damn scandal.Copy !req
946. Just tell us where
the pictures are, Bernzy.Copy !req
947. Nobody here
is enjoying this.Copy !req
948. - I'm not so sure.
- Put him in jail.Copy !req
949. Sir, he's bleeding.
Put him in jail.Copy !req
950. Hold on. Chief of police
is coming in.Copy !req
951. Stay down.
Stay down.Copy !req
952. According to the Tribune, you're gonna be
lauded on the floor of the Senate tomorrow.Copy !req
953. Senator Watkins is gonna
thank you officially...Copy !req
954. for saving the lives
of American servicemen.Copy !req
955. How'd you manage to get
the shot of yourself?Copy !req
956. I do magic.Copy !req
957. All right.
I have here...Copy !req
958. an advance copy of Walter
Winchell's Sunday night broadcast.Copy !req
959. "Good evening, Mr. And Mrs. America,
et cetera, et cetera."Copy !req
960. Tonight, a tip of the hat to Leon Bernstein,
better known as The Great Bernzini.Copy !req
961. Many is the night your
reporter's seen Bernzy,Copy !req
962. the supposedly sorcerous shutterbug,
at Hanson's all-night drugstore.Copy !req
963. But Friday night,
Bernzy proved himself to be a great photographer,Copy !req
964. a great New Yorker,
a great American.Copy !req
965. His first ever photos
of the Mafia at war...Copy !req
966. nipped in the bud one of the
foulest scandals in American history.Copy !req
967. "Thank you, Bernzy, for saving the
lives of countless Americans over there."Copy !req
968. Get him
to a hospital.Copy !req
969. Bernzy?Copy !req
970. You okay?Copy !req
971. You made a deal
with Spoleto.Copy !req
972. He signed back the club in exchange
for information about Sal and me.Copy !req
973. Right?Copy !req
974. He said he wouldn't hurt
you. That was part of it too.Copy !req
975. You weren't even
supposed to find the place.Copy !req
976. - Oh, Bernzy...
- Why'd you do it?Copy !req
977. I just couldn't
take the chance...Copy !req
978. of losing the club.Copy !req
979. It's like you
and your pictures.Copy !req
980. You'd do anything
for your pictures, right?Copy !req
981. - When did you know?
- The minute I heard about Sal.Copy !req
982. Why didn't you just ask me
not to take the pictures...Copy !req
983. if you knew you were
gonna make a damn deal?Copy !req
984. Nothing was gonna stop you
from taking those pictures.Copy !req
985. You'd be surprised
what I would have done for you.Copy !req
986. Everything they say
about me is true, I guess.Copy !req
987. If I loved Lou at all,
it was for what he could give me.Copy !req
988. And everything they
say about you too,Copy !req
989. that you'd run over your own
grandmother to get the right picture.Copy !req
990. Still,
this was different.Copy !req
991. All this was different,
Bernzy. Wasn't it?Copy !req
992. Wasn't it?Copy !req
993. Don't hate me too much.Copy !req
994. God bless you!Copy !req
995. Bernzy!
Bernzy!Copy !req
996. Kiss me! Kiss me! Bernzy,
I'd like you to meet my publisher,Copy !req
997. the eminent Albert Gerard. Mr. Bernstein,
I've followed your work for years.Copy !req
998. He says if I write
an intro for your book...Copy !req
999. Uh,
what's it called? Public Eye.Copy !req
1000. With an Arthur Nabler
introduction for the Public Eye,Copy !req
1001. he can guarantee us
a double-sized first printing.Copy !req
1002. Hold it, everybody.
Smile. Time magazine.Copy !req
1003. - Are you okay?
- I don't like having my picture took.Copy !req
1004. Let's get him in the car.
Right over here.Copy !req
1005. Damn it, Bernzy,
let it go.Copy !req
1006. You've been waiting for this your
whole life. Whatever it took, it's worth it.Copy !req
1007. Let it go.
How do you do that?Copy !req
1008. I don't know. Maybe it'll make you
humble when our book gets published.Copy !req
1009. It's my book.
I'm writin' the introduction.Copy !req
1010. So, fine.Copy !req
1011. Come on. We'll go
to the Stork Club.Copy !req
1012. - How do you turn this damn thing off?
— You can't.Copy !req
1013. Isn't that the switch
over here?Copy !req
1014. You can't turn it off.Copy !req
1015. 211 in progress, Third and Broadway.Copy !req
