00:11:20Murphy Harris, same paper.
00:11:22Meet Muggs McGinnis, the greatest fighter on the east side.
00:11:24Hello, kid.
00:11:25What's new, shorty?
00:11:26Well, Muggsy, how about telling us something about yourself?
00:11:28When I was three months old, I'd run away from home.
00:11:31Six months later, I'd come back, my father took one look at me,
00:11:33and he'd run away from home.
00:11:34Ha, ha, ha.
00:11:36All kidding aside, when did you first start fighting?
00:11:38I started when I was very young.
00:11:40I won my first 18 fights by knockouts.
00:11:43Then they took my brass knuckles away.
00:11:45Scrap metal.
00:11:46Ha, ha, ha.
00:11:50Hey, what's the idea?
00:11:52We ain't going to the arena.
00:11:54What are those blinds down for?
00:11:56Haven't you heard?
00:11:58This car's having a dim out.
00:12:00You can't get away with this.
00:12:01Let me up.
00:12:02You should try to be more cooperative, champ.
00:12:04Relax.
00:12:05We're going to let you in on a little treat.
00:12:07Listen, there's 10 million people down there tonight that paid to see me fight.
00:12:09I got to get there.
00:12:10You understand?
00:12:11They'll see a fight, all right, but you won't be in it.
00:12:15And Amsterdam has a good right.
00:12:17That was a pretty good fight, wasn't it?
00:12:19Yeah, well, you'll see the next one.
00:12:21I can hardly wait.
00:12:24Hey, Danny, you're wanted in the dressing room right away.
00:12:27What for?
00:12:28Don't ask questions.
00:12:29Just come on.
00:12:30Well, go ahead, Danny.
00:12:32If that substitute of yours isn't here in three minutes,
00:12:35we're going to have to disqualify the east side kids.
00:12:37Hey, Glimpy, why don't you go in?
00:12:39Who, me?
00:12:40I'm not in shape.
00:12:41Is that him?
00:12:42Yeah.
00:12:43Okay, thanks.
00:12:44What's going on?
00:12:45Mug's got lost somewhere, so you got to go in and fight for him.
00:12:48Me?
00:12:49I'm not in shape.
00:12:50Uh-uh.
00:12:51I said that first.
00:12:52What do you got to worry about?
00:12:53You was runner-up, wasn't you?
00:12:54You can't get hurt.
00:12:55Look, if you're not in there within three minutes, we get disqualified.
00:12:58Take the clothes off.
00:12:59Come on, will you?
00:13:00Hey, Joe, go out and explain to Ivy, will you?
00:13:02Right away.
00:13:03How long we got?
00:13:04Oh, about three minutes.
00:13:05Come on, get on the table.
00:13:06I'll give you a rubdown fast.
00:13:07Don't worry.
00:13:08Hey, look, don't get up.
00:13:10Ivy, Mug's didn't show up.
00:13:12Danny's got to go on in his place.
00:13:13Well, where is Mug's?
00:13:14He left the house in town.
00:13:15I don't know.
00:13:16We haven't heard a word from him.
00:13:17Maybe he had an accident.
00:13:18Danny can't go in there and fight.
00:13:19He's not in condition.
00:13:20Oh, look, Ivy, it's only four rounds.
00:13:22He can't get hurt much.
00:13:23Much?
00:13:24He was runner-up last year, wasn't he?
00:13:26Yeah.
00:13:27Oh.
00:13:28Turn on the radio, Joe.
00:13:29Save the electricity.
00:13:31That fight will be forfeited just like you guys won.
00:13:33Shut up.
00:13:34I want to listen to the fight.
00:13:35That fight, there ain't going to be no fight.
00:13:38You all right, Danny?
00:13:39Yeah, I guess I'm OK.
00:13:40Well, just don't worry about it.
00:13:41If anything happens, I'll be right
00:13:42in there with that water bucket.
00:13:43Water bucket?
00:13:44What are you, an air raid warden?
00:13:45Gee, I wish I was in there fighting.
00:13:47I shall never forget my first fight.
00:13:49Never forget my last fight.
00:13:50Same fight.
00:13:51Don't worry.
00:13:52I'm going to win this fight.
00:13:53That's the spirit, kid.
00:13:54Just go in there.
00:13:55Keep swinging.
00:13:56Keep swinging.
00:13:57In case you don't hit something.
00:13:58Keep swinging.
00:13:59Keep swinging.
00:14:00Keep swinging.
00:14:01Keep swinging.
00:14:02Keep swinging.
00:14:03Keep swinging.
00:14:04Keep swinging.
00:14:05Keep swinging.
00:14:06Keep swinging.
00:14:07In case you don't hit the guy, the breeze
00:14:08might give him pneumonia.
00:14:09Ladies and gentlemen, this is the main event of the evening.
00:14:14Four rounds of boxing.
00:14:16In this corner, and representing the west side,
00:14:20battling Hank Johnson.
00:14:22And in this corner, from Muggsy McGinnis,
00:14:30and representing the east side, young Danny Lyon.
00:14:34They can't do that.
00:14:36Take it easy, Mr. Dynamite.
00:14:38You're not in the ring tonight.
00:14:41I get it.
00:14:42Danny paid you guys to snatch me tonight
00:14:44just so he could fight.
00:14:45Huh?
00:14:46Is that it?
00:14:47What's the matter?
00:14:48Don't you think Mr. Lyons can win?
00:14:49Win?
00:14:50He'll be hanging on those ropes so much tonight
00:14:51that people will think he's a yo-yo.
00:14:52Pretty smart kid, though, don't you think?
00:14:54Sure, sure.
00:14:55He's smart.
00:14:56Very smart.
00:14:57All the time he's been associating
00:14:58with you cheap snipers, and I never knew nothing about him.
00:15:01That's what I mean about being smart.
00:15:05Now, you boys know all the rules.
00:15:07Make a nice, clean fight of it.
00:15:08Keep all your punches up.
00:15:09In case of a knockdown, go to the farthest neutral corner.
00:15:12Shake hands and come out fighting.
00:15:15Hey, ref, in case Danny gets knocked down,
00:15:17which corner does he go to?
00:15:22Well, this is it.
00:15:25Danny, come on, give it to him.
00:15:41Keep your left up, your left up.
00:15:54Boys, move around cautiously.
00:16:14Watch that left.
00:16:15Ooh.
00:16:16Ooh, I wish it was in there.
00:16:17Ooh, I wish it was in there.
00:16:18Well, why didn't you?
00:16:19You didn't know when you had a chance.
00:16:20Ooh, I'm glad I'm not in there.
00:16:21And what's in there?
00:16:31Ooh.
00:16:37Yeah.
00:16:43Listen to me, you'll be a fighter.
00:16:45You know, you're ruining my reputation.
00:16:46I'm concerned.
00:16:47Ooh.
00:16:48Ooh.
00:16:49Oh.
00:16:50Keep your head.
00:16:57Lyons comes out, barely able to keep his hand up.
00:16:59Johnson, cool, ready for the kill.
00:17:01Steps around smartly.
00:17:04See that? Lyons jipped his way into that ring tonight.
00:17:06Now he's getting just what's coming to him.
00:17:08But that ain't nothing compared to what's gonna happen to him when I get out of this overcrowded bus.
00:17:18He isn't doing so well.
00:17:20He'll come around once he gets used to being in there.
00:17:41Wait a minute, Danny. Take it easy, Danny. Take it easy.
00:17:43Do it with that right hand, Danny.
00:17:51One, two, three...
00:17:53Get up! Get up! What are you waiting for?
00:17:55Come on, get up!
00:17:56Four, five, six, seven...
00:18:09One, two, three, four, five...
00:18:13No more fighting.
00:18:14No more fighting.
00:18:15No more fighting.
00:18:16One, two, three, four, five...
00:18:20No more like that and you'll be able to go home.
00:18:22Thanks.
00:18:23Seven, eight, nine...
00:18:29He did it! Hit him again! Hit him with your right!
00:18:36How do you feel, champ?
00:18:37Sit down. Come on.
00:18:39Look, this time go and give him a left cross, a right cross, then give him a Japanese uppercut.
00:18:43A Japanese uppercut?
00:18:44Yeah, a double cross. Come on, kid. Build up.
00:18:51Beat him up!
00:18:53Come on, Danny! Danny boy!
00:19:08Yes, folks, Danny Lyons just seemed to step out of a trance.
00:19:11Lyons lands a vicious hook to Wildcat's right eye.
00:19:23Hey, what goes on?
00:19:24You got me.
00:19:25Give him a left!
00:19:26Give him a right! Give him a right!
00:19:33Johnson is down! He's down!
00:19:35One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:19:49Can you picture that? He must have hit him with a stool.
00:19:58And now, ladies and gentlemen, the winner.
00:20:00Danny Lyons will receive the coveted amateur boxing belt.
00:20:02It'll take you ten years to work this off, and you start tomorrow.
00:20:07Sensational, champ.
00:20:08Oh, boy, you're really looking for the ringside.
00:20:10You hit that guy so hard with that bolo, they're still counting over him.
00:20:13Will that Muggs be surprised?
00:20:14I'm not very surprised.
00:20:16Muggs, where have you been?
00:20:17What happened to you?
00:20:18I've been around.
00:20:19Don't worry. We won the championship.
00:20:21See, Muggs, when you didn't show up, we didn't know what to do, so...
00:20:23I did all right, kid. My friends took very good care of me.
00:20:27My friends? What are you talking about?
00:20:29Might as well tell you, fellas.
00:20:31Danny fixed it up so he could fight tonight instead of me.
00:20:34Oh, Muggs, you're wrong.
00:20:35Yeah, yeah, playing dumb, huh?
00:20:37Don't you figure this out all by yourself?
00:20:38I don't know what you're talking about. I wouldn't do a thing like that.
00:20:40No, you wouldn't do it, but you hired a couple of palookas to take me for a ride until this fight was over.
00:20:44Hey, is he making with the truth?
00:20:45Is that on the level?
00:20:46Hey, what goes on?
00:20:47Muggs, you're wrong. You gotta believe me you're wrong.
00:20:49Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:20:50Incidentally, this belt belongs to me.
00:20:55Okay, Muggs, what about the car and those guys?
00:20:57Yeah, I know. You never heard nothing about it.
00:20:59Of course, you know I'm still champ around here.
00:21:01Sure, Muggs, we...
00:21:02Well, just to prove it...
00:21:03Hey, wait a minute!
00:21:04Hey, slow it down, boy.
00:21:05What's the matter with you? You lose half your bucks...
00:21:07Now I'm going out on the show to impress the real champ.
00:21:09Hey, Cam, I gotta take some pictures.
00:21:10I will, I will. I'll take care of it.
00:21:12Danny's coming.
00:21:14Hello, ma'am.
00:21:15Hello, Mr. Gander.
00:21:16Congratulations, Danny. You were great tonight.
00:21:19We heard the whole thing on the radio.
00:21:21Where's the belt you won?
00:21:23Oh, the belt?
00:21:25You won it, didn't you?
00:21:27Yeah, I won it, but I lost it.
00:21:30Lost it?
00:21:31Where? How could you lose it?
00:21:35I'll tell you all about it later, ma'am.
00:21:37Sure, Danny.
00:21:38Oh, by the way, one of my boys left for the army this afternoon.
00:21:41You can have the job tomorrow.
00:21:43Gee, that's swell, Mr. Gander.
00:21:45I'll be there first thing in the morning.
00:21:47Good night, Mrs. Lange.
00:21:48Good night, Mr. Gander.
00:21:49Good night, Danny.
00:21:50Good night, sir.
00:21:51Danny, what about the belt?
00:21:53Well, I didn't exactly lose it, ma'am.
00:21:56The east side has it.
00:21:58The east side has it?
00:22:00Well, I gave it to Muggs.
00:22:01If I didn't, it would have meant a brawl.
00:22:03Ma'am, why don't you let me go out and teach him a lesson?
00:22:06Danny, as long as I live, I will never have a son of mine
00:22:09fighting in the streets.
00:22:10But, ma'am, you...
00:22:13Hey, yeah, ladies and gentlemen.
00:22:15Meet the new champ, Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:17Muggs is going to hit Danny Lyon so hard,
00:22:19they're going to count him out in the air.
00:22:21He's going to give him a mushroom nose, a cauliflower ear.
00:22:24In fact, he's going to make him the only kid in this block
00:22:26with a built-in victory guard.
00:22:28Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:29Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:30Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:31Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:32Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:33Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:34Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:35Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:36Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:37Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:38Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:39Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:40What a kid in this block with a built-in victory guard.
00:22:42He's so tough,
00:22:43he told Joe Lewis where to get off.
00:22:45He told Joe Lewis where to get off.
00:22:47Are you kidding?
00:22:48Well, they were riding on the same streetcar together.
00:22:50What do you say, champ?
00:22:52It's a pleasure to stand up here and look down
00:22:53at all these smilling and intelligent faces.
00:22:56Now don't you folks think the phoney champ
00:22:58ought to come out and fight like a real man?
00:23:00Yes.
00:23:01Well then, call him.
00:23:03Danny!
00:23:05That's some matter with you.
00:23:06You're trying to make yourself conspicuous.
00:23:07I'll call him conservatively.
00:23:08Danny!
00:23:13Take it easy, champ.
00:23:13I don't want you to bruise that hand you're
00:23:15fighting next week.
00:23:17Mugs McGinnis, beat it.
00:23:19Not till Danny comes down.
00:23:20I want to give him a little lesson in pugilistic art.
00:23:23He's working.
00:23:25Working, huh?
00:23:26Whose baby carriage is he pushing now?
00:23:28Go and find out for yourself.
00:23:29Go over to Louis Gendik's garage.
00:23:35Gendik's?
00:23:36Sir, that mooch is muscling in on my territory again.
00:23:39You know how long ago I was promised that job?
00:23:40How long?
00:23:41Six months, 180 days.
00:23:43What are you going to do about it?
00:23:44It ain't going to be pleasant to watch.
00:23:46Give me the crown, champ.
00:23:47Stoney, Skinny, take this back to Joe DiPetro.
00:23:50Right.
00:23:54Thanks very much.
00:23:55Come back again.
00:24:07Hiya, fellas.
00:24:08What's cooking?
00:24:09Still crawling in front of me, huh?
00:24:10Last night, you fixed it so I can't make the fight.
00:24:12Now you take the job that I was supposed to have.
00:24:14Not in a million years, McGinnis.
00:24:16Your memory must be depreciating, Gendik.
00:24:18You promised me this job.
00:24:19Sure, I remember.
00:24:21But when I put anybody to work around here,
00:24:23I want a gentleman, not an irresponsible,
00:24:25nerdy well like you.
00:24:26Since when do you call this double-crosser a gentleman?
00:24:29On your way, troublemaker.
00:24:31I'll be back in a minute.
00:24:32I'll be back in a minute.
00:24:33I'll be back in a minute.
00:24:34I'll be back in a minute.
00:24:35I'll be back in a minute.
00:24:36I'll be back in a minute, troublemaker.
00:24:37Come on, fellas.
00:24:38The atmosphere is getting a little dense around here.
00:24:41Why don't you two guys go play ping pong with a time bomb?
00:24:45If he was my son, I'd give him an old-fashioned talking
00:24:49to right over my knee.
00:24:52Sometimes I can't figure, Muggs.
00:24:55I wonder if he could take the same kind
00:24:57of medicine he dishes out.
00:24:59Yes, sir.
00:25:00Oh, it's you.
00:25:01Hi.
00:25:01Hello, champ.
00:25:03What do you want, regular or ethyl?
00:25:05What's so funny?
00:25:06You cost me some dough last night.
00:25:08And incidentally, you can thank me for getting you in that ring.
00:25:10What?
00:25:11You mean?
00:25:12Yeah, yeah.
00:25:13I finally got in with Muggs.
00:25:14Cost me some dough, but it was worth it.
00:25:17How many gallons you want?
00:25:19Make it three, and here's my ration book.
00:25:21Don't be so gloomy.
00:25:23I'll be back in a minute.
00:25:24I'll be back in a minute.
00:25:25I'll be back in a minute.
00:25:26I'll be back in a minute.
00:25:27I'll be back in a minute.
00:25:29Don't forget, Danny's name is going
00:25:31to be stricken from the record.
00:25:33He's out of the club intimately, ultimately, and forever.
00:25:36Why not get his next year's dues first?
00:25:37I know, maybe, huh?
00:25:38Never mind his next year's dues.
00:25:40He's out right now, presently, henceforth, et cetera.
00:25:43Oh, you're a big man, aren't you?
00:25:45Oh.
00:25:50Shake the oil?
00:25:51No, here.
00:25:53Thanks.
00:25:53I'll be seeing you, champ.
00:25:58Oh, Mr. Gendik, could I take about 10 minutes off?
00:26:01Why, sure, Danny.
00:26:03Thanks a lot.
00:26:06Azov, the 15th instinct of the month quote.
00:26:10Hey, how do you spell Azov?
00:26:11Azov?
00:26:12I don't know.
00:26:13Strike it from the records.
00:26:14I, as the president of this club,
00:26:16hereby alone, unanimously ostracized
00:26:19Danny Lyons from this club.
00:26:20And if he knows what's good for him,
00:26:22he won't come around anymore.
00:26:23Well, I'll see you later, Danny.
00:26:25Thanks.
00:26:29Hey, chairman at arms, see who that is.
00:26:30Really?
00:26:31Maybe somebody trying to break the lease.
00:26:33Now, when all the good news comes a little bad,
00:26:35you know what you do?
00:26:36Hey, Muggs, it's Danny.
00:26:37Never heard of him.
00:26:38Come on in.
00:26:39I've just been advised that Muggs would not enjoy
00:26:41the pleasure of your company.
00:26:43Well, I'm still a member of this gang.
00:26:45I thought I told you not to let him in here.
00:26:47I ain't no second front.
00:26:48Listen to me, Muggs, and the rest of you fellas.
00:26:50What'd you do, come over here to cry on my shoulders?
00:26:52I didn't come down here to cry on your shoulders.
00:26:54I didn't come down here to cry on your shoulders.
00:26:57I didn't come down here to cry on anybody's shoulder.
00:26:59I have an idea that Harry Wyckoff was behind
00:27:01that whole mess last night.
00:27:02Sure he was.
00:27:03You and Harry worked together.
00:27:05Oh, you're crazy.
00:27:06Well, the last time I saw Harry was at the-
00:27:07Was at the pool room.
00:27:09And now I know why you didn't switch that shark
00:27:11like I told you.
00:27:12You wanted Harry to win.
00:27:13Well, Muggs, you gotta believe me.
00:27:15I'm on the square with you.
00:27:16No, I think I know why you came down here.
00:27:19To encounter Ivy.
00:27:20Ivy?
00:27:20What's she got to do with it?
00:27:21She's got a lot to do with it.
00:27:22Just in case you thought I didn't want you
00:27:24two going out together.
00:27:25Well, you'd come down here and try to warm your way
00:27:27out of this thing just like you're doing now.
00:27:29Muggs, you don't even give me a chance.
00:27:31I ain't giving away no chances.
00:27:32And furthermore, stay away from my sister.
00:27:38Well, I'll see you tonight, Mr. Clinkhammer.
00:27:39Okay, Danny.
00:27:41Well, hello, boys.
00:27:43Hiya, Clinky.
00:27:45It's Clinkhammer.
00:27:46Okay, sinkhandle.
00:27:47Hey, weather clear, track fast.
00:27:50Looks like a Mickey Finn with fuzz on it.
00:27:52Man, look at that head, a beautiful skin.
00:27:54Every time I look at it, I want to put up my finger
00:27:55and start bowling.
00:27:59Very funny.
00:28:00Well, I suppose you boys all have your partners
00:28:01for the big dance tonight.
00:28:02I don't need no partner.
00:28:03I can win it alone.
00:28:04I got a dammit solid Z-O-I-L-T.
00:28:06Hey, look, are you going to give Wes more
00:28:07of that counterfeit money?
00:28:08I certainly am.
00:28:11Counterfeit?
00:28:11Why, my money's good, always has been.
00:28:13Yeah, the last time you gave me a five,
00:28:15Lincoln was winking.
00:28:17Well, look, boys, I got to go now.
00:28:18I got to pay a little social call on your folks, you know.
00:28:21Well, I'm off.
00:28:22You're not kidding.
00:28:23Yeah, you are off.
00:28:24See you later, Clinky.
00:28:26If clothes make the man, you got a long way to go, son.
00:28:28I'll see you later.
00:28:31Step down, sir.
00:28:35Here you are, Milky.
00:28:36Keep the change.
00:28:37Thank you, sir.
00:28:39Hey, Mr. Scrooge.
00:28:40Fine, how are you, fellas?
00:28:41Hi, Pop.
00:28:42Hi, Rick.
00:28:43Where you been to, a Turkish bath?
00:28:44Just out getting a shine.
00:28:45Gotta look neat once in a while, don't I?
00:28:47Take over.
00:28:49Yeah, I'm only hip to what you're talking about.
00:28:51Hey, Jackson, you know that shop you just shined up?
00:28:53Yeah.
00:28:54Well, who's that big kalooka he's talking to in there?
00:28:56He's a friend of my boss.
00:28:57He works here.
00:28:58Hey, Muggs, maybe Danny was right.
00:29:00Yeah, maybe he was right.
00:29:01But that still don't prove he didn't
00:29:02have nothing to do with it.
00:29:03Look, you kids, if anything's cooking on your brains,
00:29:06don't do it around here.
00:29:07And for you, my little clips, you take over while I
00:29:11go home and see your mama.
00:29:13Give me a shine, boys.
00:29:14Look here, Pop, I'm allergic to this polish.
00:29:16Hey, boy, give me a shine.
00:29:17If you give me a shine, I'll polish you off
00:29:20but quick if you don't get out of that chair.
00:29:24So you came around to pay off a little pool debt, huh?
00:29:26Yeah, we came around to pay off, all right.
00:29:30What do you want?
00:29:31Where's that young elephant you was just talking to?
00:29:33I didn't see nobody.
00:29:34You got a stigmatism, huh?
00:29:37You paying much protection lately, Wyckoff?
00:29:39What's it to you?
00:29:40Oh, nothing.
00:29:41Nothing at all.
00:29:43How much you lose in a fight last night?
00:29:45I'd think you lost a little more than I did, huh?
00:29:47How would you like to lose consciousness?
00:29:49What's the matter?
00:29:50Can't you take a little rib?
00:29:51Maybe your laughing boy knows a little about this, huh?
00:29:53Look, fellas, this ain't no pool hall.
00:29:55Now get out of here before I call the cops.
00:29:57Call the cops?
00:29:58That's a funny one.
00:29:59Go ahead and call them.
00:30:00We'll lead them right into that back room there
00:30:02and let them place a couple of bets.
00:30:04And speaking of bets,
00:30:05there's a couple of newspaper men back there
00:30:07that we're going to place a little parlay on.
00:30:09But I wouldn't bet them to win.
00:30:18What do you kids want in here?
00:30:19Oh, we just come around to renew acquaintances.
00:30:22Hello, kid.
00:30:23Hello, kid.
00:30:24So you remember me, huh?
00:30:25I thought you'd try to say you was a couple other guys.
00:30:28I don't know what you're talking about.
00:30:30A lapse of memory.
00:30:31All right, outside.
00:30:32Get going.
00:30:33Yeah, we'll get going.
00:30:34You hear what he says, fellas?
00:30:35Well, let's go.
00:30:36Give me the phone!
00:30:42Hey, I wonder what time the floor show goes on.
00:30:46What's Hatcher's face doing up there?
00:30:48Where's the judge?
00:30:49Must be out to lunch.
00:30:50Gee, a lady judge.
00:30:52Next case, please.
00:30:54Benny Miller.
00:30:56Joe Collins.
00:30:59Harold Stone.
00:31:01Grimpy McLeavy.
00:31:03Ethelbert McGinnis.
00:31:06Ethelbert McGinnis.
00:31:07Hey, boss!
00:31:09Do people usually call you by that name, Muggs?
00:31:12No, that's because he's so homely.
00:31:14I mean, tough.
00:31:15Tough?
00:31:16Only my friends call me Muggs.
00:31:18I don't think you'd know a friend if you saw one.
00:31:21I'm his friend.
00:31:22Thanks, Gwen.
00:31:23I don't suppose any of you boys have got a job?
00:31:26A job?
00:31:27I worked once.
00:31:28I was a pin setter.
00:31:29What is a pin setter?
00:31:30They knock them down, I set them up.
00:31:32What's a pin setter?
00:31:33A pin setter is a guy who has a job.
00:31:35A pin setter?
00:31:36They knock them down, I set them up.
00:31:38Gee, judge.
00:31:39Ain't you never bold?
00:31:42Stop that.
00:31:44Sorry, miss, your honor.
00:31:46I didn't get much sleep last night.
00:31:48I can't see no point in discussing Grimpy's career.
00:31:51The issue is, are we going to the Who's Gala or ain't we?
00:31:54Whether I send you there or someone else does,
00:31:56eventually that's where you're going to wind up.
00:31:59I can't understand it.
00:32:01You boys are supposed to be good American citizens.
00:32:04While our soldiers are fighting for peace, you're disturbing it.
00:32:07There's 101 things that you can do to further the war effort.
00:32:11And I'm going to give you a chance to do it.
00:32:14Go on home and don't let me catch you back here again.
00:32:17Case dismissed.
00:32:18Thanks, Miss Judge.
00:32:22So long there, Charlie.
00:32:23Where do you think you're going?
00:32:28You said the case was dismissed.
00:32:30The case was dismissed for them.
00:32:32They were brought in here for disturbing the peace.
00:32:34You were brought in here for bookmaking.
00:32:36This is your second offense.
00:32:37How do you plead?
00:32:40Guilty.
00:32:41Six months each.
00:32:43Next case, please.
00:32:47I'll see you fellas later.
00:32:48I got a little date.
00:32:49Monks, can I go with you, maybe, huh?
00:32:51No, this is personal.
00:32:53Okay.
00:32:54Hey, fellas, you want to go over to the pool room, huh?
00:32:56Didn't you hear what that judge said?
00:32:59Hey, I wonder where he's going.
00:33:01Let's go.
00:33:11Hey, Danny.
00:33:13I've had a change of disposition.
00:33:15Yeah?
00:33:16Yeah.
00:33:18Hey, Muggs is talking to Danny.
00:33:20Hey, what do you know about Dan?
00:33:22You can take Ivy to that dance tonight.
00:33:24Thanks, I appreciate that.
00:33:26That's nothing.
00:33:27Nothing at all.
00:33:29About that fight.
00:33:31They found out about Wyckoff.
00:33:32Oh, did he tell you how much I paid him for the job?
00:33:34Yeah, right, so you wasn't in on it.
00:33:36It's just a lucky break for you, that's all.
00:33:40By the way, we're having a meeting tomorrow night.
00:33:42The last I heard, I was kicked out of the club.
00:33:44Yeah, well, I kicked you back in.
00:33:47I'll see you later.
00:33:51Don't wait up for me.
00:33:53Patricia may, but we got nothing in common.
00:33:55You can't even shoot a game of pool.
00:33:58If that's the way you feel about it, you better hang out.
00:34:03I guess that's the way she felt about it.
00:34:06I hope Danny likes his dress.
00:34:08Well, I don't see why not.
00:34:09He sees you in it every day.
00:34:11Mother.
00:34:16Good evening, Mrs. McGinnis.
00:34:17Won't you come in, Danny?
00:34:19Hello.
00:34:20Hello, Ivy, are you ready?
00:34:21I will be in just a minute.
00:34:22Wait till I get my coat on.
00:34:23Okay.
00:34:24Mr. Danny Lyons to see Miss Ivy McGinnis.
00:34:26Prepare for a lull.
00:34:28Very funny bit.
00:34:30You expect to win that 50 tonight?
00:34:32We're sure gonna try.
00:34:34Well, you should know a couple of good steps by now.
00:34:36You've been practicing for 300 years.
00:34:39Take me, for instance.
00:34:40I'm gonna win at Mizuma tonight, and I ain't had no practicing at all.
00:34:43You going to dance tonight, Muggs?
00:34:44Who's your partner, anybody I know?
00:34:46I didn't know you went in for dances, Muggs.
00:34:48I'm ambidextrous.
00:34:49Tonight, you're gonna find out that I can beat you with my feet as well as my hands.
00:34:54Come on, Danny, let's go.
00:34:55Good luck, kids.
00:34:56Be home early.
00:34:57Good night, Muggs.
00:34:58Good night, Mrs. McGinnis.
00:34:59Have a good time.
00:35:01Don't slam the door, Schlemiel.
00:35:05I'm sorry, Ma.
00:35:06I don't like to be crude like that.
00:35:08But that guy brings out the bad side in me.
00:35:11Did I hear you say you were going to the dance?
00:35:13When did you decide on that?
00:35:15Just now.
00:35:16A little spontaneous conclusion.
00:35:18Hey, Ma, do me a favor, will you?
00:35:20Press this shirt and block this hat.
00:35:22You're not going to the dance in those clothes.
00:35:25No.
00:35:26No, I guess not.
00:35:27Well, how about that outfit I used to wear when I was a choir boy?
00:35:30I'll get it for you.
00:35:33Choir boy.
00:35:35When a body meets a body
00:35:40Coming through the right
00:35:45When a body kisses a body
00:35:50Did a body cry?
00:35:55When a lassie has a laddie
00:36:01When a lassie has a laddie
00:36:05Name they say
00:36:09In all the land
00:36:11They smile at me
00:36:13When coming through the right
00:36:30When a body meets a body
00:36:35When a body meets a body
00:36:37Good evening.
00:36:38Good evening, Danny.
00:36:39I wish you luck in the contest this evening.
00:36:41Oh, thank you.
00:36:42Thanks a lot.
00:36:43See, that band sounds swell, doesn't it, huh?
00:36:45Sure does.
00:36:46Danny, look.
00:36:47I can't believe it.
00:36:48It's Muggs with a girl.
00:36:49I wonder who she is.
00:36:51Muggs, how'd you get here so fast?
00:36:53We had an upper berth on Superman.
00:36:55Well, I'll see you later.
00:36:56Good luck, Muggs.
00:36:57You'll need it.
00:36:59Why don't you check this hat?
00:37:01It's too much.
00:37:02When coming
00:37:05Through the
00:37:10Right
00:37:18Way
00:37:26And now, for the benefit of you swing shifters,
00:37:29that is, those of you who have to go home early,
00:37:33we're going to have the amateur jitterbug contest immediately.
00:37:37Now, all those contestants will kindly come up to the table
00:37:40and get your numbers.
00:37:41See, we have numbers to put on your back,
00:37:42every one of you.
00:37:43Plenty of them.
00:37:44Come on, folks.
00:37:45Up to the table.
00:37:53Dancing alone?
00:37:54Nah.
00:37:55Hey, Glumpy, are you in the contest?
00:37:56Sure.
00:37:57I didn't know you were a jitterbug.
00:37:58Are you kidding?
00:37:59Me and the members of my family have been bugs for years.
00:38:01Well, where's your suit coat?
00:38:02Suit coat?
00:38:03Couldn't wear it.
00:38:04It's got a hole in the knee.
00:38:05Hey, look.
00:38:06If you don't mind, we have a contest on here.
00:38:08Hey, if she falls down, she'll be home.
00:38:10Funny guy.
00:38:11He'd be mad.
00:38:12You got this thing just as good as one.
00:38:14What's the use of dancing a couple of hours
00:38:15and expending all that energy?
00:38:17Good luck, Mice.
00:38:18I don't need no luck.
00:38:19This thing's in the bag.
00:38:20Yeah?
00:38:21I hope there's a hole in the bag.
00:38:23Your number.
00:38:24I don't like that number.
00:38:25Give me the other one, will you, boss?
00:38:26No, it's no good.
00:38:27That's my lucky number.
00:38:28Five.
00:38:29Five.
00:38:30That's the one.
00:38:31It better be lucky, Mice.
00:38:33Oh, you're being very pessimistic.
00:38:36OK, boys.
00:38:37Let her go.
00:38:44Let's go.
00:38:45Let's go.
00:38:46Let's go.
00:38:47Let's go.
00:38:48Let's go.
00:38:49Let's go.
00:38:50Let's go.
00:38:51Let's go.

00:43:06I'm sorry, kids.
00:43:08What are you sorry about, I won, didn't I.
00:43:11Well, that all depends.
00:43:13Young lady, do you work at the Silver Slipper Dance hall?
00:43:15Well, in a way.
00:43:18And you get paid for dancing?
00:43:19Yes, I guess so.
00:43:20Well, that settles it, I'm sorry, I can't give you the prize money.
00:43:24Ladies and gentlemen, quiet please, attention.
00:43:27Unfortunately, Mr. McGinnis has been dancing with a professional...
00:43:31Be Xuan, what did you do.
00:43:32How did you expect me to win with an amateur?
00:43:33I've got to have some personal handicap, don't I?
00:43:35Will you please stop butting in when I'm interrupting?
00:43:38Mr. McGinnis has been disqualified,
00:43:40and the real winners of the East Side Amateur Jitterbug
00:43:43Contest are Danny Lyons and Ivy McGinnis.
00:43:47Danny!
00:43:50Danny, we won!
00:43:51We won!
00:43:52Oh, Muggs isn't going to like this.
00:43:56All right, champions, come and get your money.
00:43:57You're full of perjury, you know that.
00:43:59I won that contest all by myself.
00:44:01I just used the slightest bit of assistance
00:44:03from this young, innocent girl here.
00:44:05Muggs, I told you before, you're disqualified.
00:44:07That means scram.
00:44:09Aw, come on, Muggs.
00:44:10We had fun anyway.
00:44:12Congratulations, Danny, and you too.
00:44:14Thanks a lot.
00:44:15Well, half of this is yours, Ivy.
00:44:16Oh, that's all right, Danny.
00:44:17You keep it for a while.
00:44:18OK.
00:44:20I've been playing second fiddle you for a long time, Lyons,
00:44:23but you're going to look awful funny playing a harp.
00:44:26Now, no fisticuffs.
00:44:29Don't part your hair, breakaway.
00:44:33All right, everybody dance, and let the arches
00:44:36follow where they may.
00:44:37Everybody dance.
00:44:38See, that's a drag, Muggs.
00:44:47You had to lose that contest after all that fancy hoofing.
00:44:50Yes, indeed, Muggs.
00:44:51Where did you learn all those fancy steps?
00:44:53I invented them.
00:44:54You're a real happy cat, Pop.
00:44:55Yeah, it's a pure man.
00:44:57Ah, Danny, congratulations.
00:44:58Both of you, that was great stuff.
00:45:00Oh, thanks.
00:45:01Thanks a lot.
00:45:01Jim, I'm sure sorry you got disqualified, Muggs.
00:45:04I never saw anybody look any serious.
00:45:06Oh, cheer up, Muggsy.
00:45:07It's all in the family anyway.
00:45:08Well, the drinks are on us.
00:45:09What do you have?
00:45:10I'll have an orangeade.
00:45:11Orangeade.
00:45:12What are you going to have, Muggs?
00:45:13I'd like to have a few words with you.
00:45:16There's a lot of little things we got to discuss.
00:45:19About 50 of them.
00:45:20But I think we better do it in private.
00:45:23OK, Muggs.
00:45:24Excuse me, honey.
00:45:25I'll be right back.
00:45:25Good, he'll be right back.
00:45:30Hey, Clippy, it's too bad you were disqualified.
00:45:32Professional jealousy.
00:45:33Will you have kids?
00:45:34Clippy's mine.
00:45:35Already got mine, orangeade.
00:45:36Me too, lemonade.
00:45:38Just make mine water.
00:45:39I'm driving.
00:45:39Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:45:43Come on, fork over to 50.
00:45:44You've been holding it long enough.
00:45:46But Muggs, we won the contest.
00:45:47Technically, yes.
00:45:48Financially, no.
00:45:51You were disqualified.
00:45:52Besides, part of this money is Ivy's.
00:45:54I'll take care of distribution.
00:45:56Muggs, Danny, what's the matter?
00:45:57You'll get back to your lemonade.
00:45:58It's a little personal matter.
00:45:59Now, come on.
00:46:00Get it on the line.
00:46:02You can't stand to lose, can you?
00:46:03No, I can't.
00:46:04If you don't give me that dough, I'm going to belt
00:46:06you one right on the chin.
00:46:08I'll make with the take.
00:46:11Danny, don't do it.
00:46:13Just because he's my brother, don't let him knock you around.
00:46:16That money belongs to us.
00:46:18My palm is itching, and my left is raring to go.
00:46:21You're going to get it up, I'll give you one more chance.
00:46:25OK, Muggs, if that's the way you want it.
00:46:28That's just the way I want it.
00:46:29Half of that's Ivy's, don't forget.
00:46:31I don't want any part of it.
00:46:33Wait a minute, Ivy.
00:46:34I'll take you home.
00:46:35I can find my own way home.
00:46:38Spoken like a true McGuinness.
00:46:41Well, so long, champ.
00:46:56Hey, Danny, wait a minute.
00:47:00You're leaving the dance rather early, aren't you?
00:47:03Well, I was getting pretty tired.
00:47:05Isn't everyone to take what Muggs hands out?
00:47:08I'm not afraid of Muggs.
00:47:10I know that.
00:47:11But he thinks you are.
00:47:13You ever think of joining another gang?
00:47:16That'd be running away.
00:47:17Not the outfit I'm talking about.
00:47:19They'll be glad to get you.
00:47:21They will sooner or later.
00:47:23You'll be fighting all kinds of bullies.
00:47:26Like Muggs?
00:47:26Worse.
00:47:27These bullies are called Japs and Nazis.
00:47:31You mean the army?
00:47:33That won't be running away, Danny.
00:47:34That's real fighting.
00:47:37They tried to get me in 17, but couldn't finish the job.
00:47:42There I go, talking about that again.
00:47:46We'll talk it over some more.
00:47:48See you in the morning, Danny.
00:47:50Yes, sir.
00:47:51Good night, Mr. Gandick.
00:47:52Good night.
00:47:58And then I met Mr. Gandick outside.
00:48:01Your father and Mr. Louis Gandick
00:48:02were very good friends.
00:48:03They fought together over in France.
00:48:07I'll bet Pop was a good soldier.
00:48:09One of the best.
00:48:11What are you thinking of, Danny?
00:48:16I'm thinking what a lot of us fellows
00:48:17should have done weeks ago.
00:48:20I'm joining the army, with your consent.
00:48:25For that kind of fighting, Danny?
00:48:27Always.
00:48:28I'm proud to have you go.
00:48:34I wonder what Ivy will think.
00:48:36Do you mean to say that Danny stood there
00:48:38and did nothing about it?
00:48:42Muggs might be a bully and all that,
00:48:43but Danny doesn't even stand up for his own rights.
00:48:46Well, it seems to me that if Danny had a little of what
00:48:49Muggs has, and vice versa, you'd have something.
00:49:01You still like Danny anyway, don't you, honey?
00:49:11R-Q-O-P-L-Y-Z.
00:49:15Hello, Glimpy.
00:49:16Don't tell me you want to go to work.
00:49:19I'm just giving myself an eye test.
00:49:20Hey, what happened to Danny?
00:49:21You fire him?
00:49:22Danny quit.
00:49:23Quit?
00:49:24What'd he do, let failure go to his head?
00:49:26He had a special reason of his own.
00:49:28I don't think you boys are going to see him around so much.
00:49:30OK, I'll play straight.
00:49:31Tell me.
00:49:32Danny's joined a new gang.
00:49:34No gang.
00:49:35Bring him around, I'll rub their heads
00:49:36I'll get him, make a bonfire out of him.
00:49:38But this gang's really tough.
00:49:40Tough?
00:49:41That's different.
00:49:41New gang?
00:49:43Muggs ain't going to like this.
00:49:45Fantastic.
00:49:46How do you make those hangers, Muggs?
00:49:47Just practice.
00:49:48Just practice, that's all.
00:49:49I can remember one time in Chicago.
00:49:50Hey, get a load of this.
00:49:51That's all I got to tell you.
00:49:52Listen quietly.
00:49:53Listen, listen.
00:49:54I speak English.
00:49:55Danny's left, he's gone away.
00:49:56Why do I care about Danny?
00:49:57Yeah, but he's joined a new gang.
00:49:58What gang?
00:49:59I don't know, Gendik's wouldn't tell me.
00:50:00What's Gendik know about it?
00:50:02Nothing, as long as he said it was very tough
00:50:04and they control the whole country.
00:50:06I'm going to get even with Gendik one of these days.
00:50:08Yeah, he always sticks up for Danny.
00:50:09That's why you never got the job.
00:50:12I'll tell you what to do.
00:50:13You fellas scatter around, see what you can find out
00:50:14about Danny and his new gang of his,
00:50:16and come back here and let me know.
00:50:17I'm out of your tone, Def.
00:50:22Oh, don't be so gruesome.
00:50:31Hey, Marks, what is this about Danny?
00:50:33Oh, I'd rather not talk about it.
00:50:35Nick!
00:50:36Nick!
00:50:37Hello, Peter.
00:50:38What's the matter?
00:50:39Look, look what they did.
00:50:44Murderers.
00:50:45My parents.
00:50:47What do I do about them?
00:50:49Oh, don't worry, Peter.
00:50:50Go over to the consulate.
00:50:52He will advise you what to do.
00:50:55You mean to say those Nazis just
00:50:56walked in and snuffed out a whole town just like that?
00:50:59Yes, it was no bigger than our neighborhood
00:51:02from Mott Street to this block.
00:51:06Hey, Nick, what's this?
00:51:08What are you doing, going to school or something?
00:51:10Or this?
00:51:13I'm studying to be an American citizen.
00:51:17You mean to say you ain't a citizen?
00:51:19I soon will be, as soon as I know what's in here.
00:51:22Is it very tough?
00:51:24Some of the questions are easy, and others you
00:51:26have to study again and again.
00:51:29I don't see why you have to know all that stuff.
00:51:32That's the trouble with you and a lot of people.
00:51:34You take your citizenship for granted.
00:51:36You should know all these things,
00:51:38just like you know the name of your friends.
00:51:40I know the whole book from cover to cover.
00:51:42Go ahead, ask me some questions.
00:51:44All right.
00:51:45What are the first 10 amendments called?
00:51:51Better ask me another question.
00:51:52The book's full of them, ain't it?
00:51:54If you don't know that, there's no use of going any further.
00:51:56The first 10 amendments are called the Bill of Rights.
00:52:00Did you ever read them?
00:52:02Not recently.
00:52:04Well, the Bill of Rights simply means freedom and protection.
00:52:08It has a lot of clauses, but after all in all,
00:52:11it's like the four freedoms the president talks about.
00:52:15Well, uh, those people must have kind of missed
00:52:18the boat on that setup, huh?
00:52:19Oh, but they will get those things pretty soon.
00:52:23That's why our boys are joining the army.
00:52:26You mean all those fellows who used to come in here
00:52:28and shoot pool, and all those guys that have joined the army,
00:52:31they know all about this Bill of Rights and Amendments?
00:52:33Maybe not.
00:52:35But in their hearts, they know, like you monks.
00:52:40I saw your face when you read that paper.
00:52:43I didn't have to tell you about the Bill of Rights.
00:52:47Americans are born with it in their hearts,
00:52:51and it just has to come out sooner or later.
00:52:55There you go, you monks.
00:53:05Guess what?
00:53:06Guess what?
00:53:07What?
00:53:08Danny's joined the army.
00:53:09Danny did what?
00:53:10Don't you hear my voice?
00:53:11Danny's joined the army.
00:53:12Maybe he wants to fight for America.
00:53:14Maybe he wants to be a good boy.
00:53:15I don't know about that.
00:53:17I just think he's a good boy.
00:53:19He's a good boy, too.
00:53:20And he's got a good heart.
00:53:21He's got a good heart.
00:53:22He's got a good heart.
00:53:23He's got a good heart.
00:53:24Maybe he wants to fight now.
00:53:25Yeah, I'm just in the mood.
00:53:28What are you going to do?
00:53:29I'm going to do nothing.
00:53:31Exactly nothing.
00:53:44What's the matter, Muzzy?
00:53:54I've never seen you this way before.
00:53:56What's wrong with me anyway, Ma?
00:53:58Why say that?
00:53:59There's nothing ever wrong with a McGinnis.
00:54:01Everything I do turns out wrong.
00:54:03I'm always making enemies.
00:54:05I don't like to hurt nobody, Ma.
00:54:07I always try to do the right thing.
00:54:09Once in a while, I got to kick the fellas
00:54:11around the club a little bit, but that's just
00:54:12to show I'm the leader, that's all.
00:54:14What's the real trouble, Muggs?
00:54:20I'm not going to let you get away with it.
00:54:23I want your consent to join the army.
00:54:25What brought this on?
00:54:27Well, Danny's in the army, strutting around
00:54:31like a peacock in a new uniform, with the brass buttons
00:54:33and everything.
00:54:35Look, Ma, I can beat Danny.
00:54:36I can beat him at anything.
00:54:37I've been beating him all my life.
00:54:39If he's out, I'll be a captain.
00:54:40I'll be a major.
00:54:41I can still beat him.
00:54:44If that's the reason you want to join,
00:54:45I don't think you'll make a good soldier.
00:54:49That's not the reason, Ma.
00:54:50There's other reasons I can't explain them.
00:54:52Just give me your consent, will you?
00:54:54No, not until you draft it, or I think you really
00:54:58want to fight for your country and not just to show Danny up.
00:55:14Well, Muggs never kept you away from Ivy.
00:55:17No, and he won't be able to after tonight.
00:55:21More ways than one.
00:55:24Look, Mom.
00:55:26An engagement ring.
00:55:27It's pretty, isn't it?
00:55:29I knew someday you and Ivy would.
00:55:32Does she know?
00:55:33No, I didn't know whether to tell Muggs first or, or.
00:55:38Tell Muggs?
00:55:40Get on your feet, soldier.
00:55:43Now you listen to me, Danny Lyons.
00:55:46Sooner or later, Muggs McGinnis is going to find this out.
00:55:49You go and give that ring to Ivy, and forget about Muggs.
00:55:54Thanks, Ma.
00:56:16Hey, wait a minute.
00:56:16You cheated.
00:56:18How can you win a game of solitaire without cheating?
00:56:20At least once.
00:56:21Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:56:22I seen him, I seen him, I seen him.
00:56:24Quit those semi-hysterics.
00:56:25You seen who?
00:56:26I saw Danny in his uniform.
00:56:28He even saluted me.
00:56:29Hey, wait a minute.
00:56:30What's the matter?
00:56:31Now, now, think of it.
00:56:32He didn't have his thumb in the right place.
00:56:34Where was he going?
00:56:35Towards your house.
00:56:36He was, huh?
00:56:38Going to strut his uniform up in front of Ivy.
00:56:40Where you going?
00:56:41Oh, I'm going to have a little chat with him, that's all.
00:56:43Wait a minute.
00:56:44With Danny in the army, you can't boss him around
00:56:45like you used to.
00:56:46I'm still head man around here.
00:56:47You fellas follow me at a safe distance,
00:56:49and you'll find out whether or not I can force him.
00:57:01Why, Danny.
00:57:02Hello, Mrs. McGinnis.
00:57:03When did you get back?
00:57:04Oh, I got in about an hour ago.
00:57:05Oh, wait till Ivy sees you.
00:57:07Ivy, why, you look fine in your uniform.
00:57:10I think you put some weight on.
00:57:11You look splendid.
00:57:13How have you been?
00:57:13Danny, gee, what a surprise.
00:57:16Hello, Ivy.
00:57:16I brought you some popcorn.
00:57:18Oh, popcorn?
00:57:19Well, I've heard of boys bringing orchids and candy,
00:57:22but never popcorn.
00:57:23Oh, my, look, please.
00:57:24Well, I suppose you two kids haven't seen each other
00:57:26in a long time, and you want to be alone.
00:57:29Yes, uh, no.
00:57:30I'll be right back.
00:57:32In about three hours.
00:57:34Oh.
00:57:35Come on, Danny, sit down.
00:57:36I want you to tell me everything you've been doing.
00:57:39It's a long story.
00:57:42Oh, you've got the wrong bag.
00:57:43Well, what's the difference?
00:57:44Popcorn's popcorn.
00:57:46Well, there's a little more in this one.
00:57:47Oh, all right.
00:57:51Good.
00:57:53You know, the popcorn man told me you
00:57:54sometimes find a prize in these.
00:57:56Oh, really?
00:57:58Gee, it's been so lonesome without you.
00:58:03Wait, Danny.
00:58:04Danny, look, I found one.
00:58:05See, what did I tell you?
00:58:07It's just like an engagement ring.
00:58:08What do you mean, like?
00:58:10It is.
00:58:12You put it in there?
00:58:13Uh-huh.
00:58:14That means we're engaged?
00:58:16If you want to be.
00:58:18Oh, Danny, here.
00:58:27Well, how romantic.
00:58:30Ah, Romeo and Cleopatra.
00:58:32Don't be obnoxious.
00:58:33This is no time for compliments.
00:58:34Muggs, I want you to meet your future brother-in-law.
00:58:36Since when are you making the decisions around here?
00:58:38Danny and I are engaged.
00:58:40That's right.
00:58:41I don't know how long this has been going on,
00:58:42but you're disengaged right now.
00:58:43Yeah, and I'll have you both annulled.
00:58:45What's the idea, Muggs?
00:58:47This is my house, ain't it?
00:58:48I'll ask the questions around here.
00:58:49Muggs, please.
00:58:50At your heart, you'll hurt my arm.
00:58:52Boys are downstairs.
00:58:53They'd like to see you.
00:58:55Besides, I'd like to have a little talk with you.
00:58:57Ivy can spare you for a few minutes.
00:59:01Come on.
00:59:02No.
00:59:03OK, Muggs.
00:59:03Fine.
00:59:05I'll be right back, Eddie.
00:59:11Hi, Danny.
00:59:12Hi, Danny.
00:59:13Oh, what a hair.
00:59:14Here's some skin.
00:59:15You'll enjoy it.
00:59:15Get out of here.
00:59:17Say, boy, do you look rude in that suit?
00:59:19Yes, sir.
00:59:20We really thought you'd join a new gang.
00:59:22No wonder Gunnick said your gang had a couple of million guys.
00:59:24And they're all swell fellas, too.
00:59:26All right, break it up.
00:59:27I'll be right back.
00:59:28All right.
00:59:29I'll be right back.
00:59:29I'll be right back.
00:59:30I'll be right back.
00:59:31I'll be right back.
00:59:32I'll be right back.
00:59:33I'll be right back.
00:59:33All right, break it up.
00:59:34Cut the gab.
00:59:37What's on your mind, Muggs?
00:59:38Oh, nothing much.
00:59:39I just want to stop these boys before they
00:59:41start kissing you.
00:59:43Now, I'm still head man around here,
00:59:44and I don't like to see the old gang bust up.
00:59:46So I'm going to give you a chance to get back in.
00:59:48He's in the army.
00:59:49He don't like our gang.
00:59:50Heck, I don't.
00:59:51I still want to be a member.
00:59:52I'll give you a chance to prove that.
00:59:54How can I?
00:59:55Gunnick likes you a lot, doesn't he?
00:59:57Yeah, and he'd like you, too, if he gave him half a chance.
00:59:59I'm not interested in the old boy socially.
01:00:02I'm just interested in those new tires he's got.
01:00:04What?
01:00:05You kidding?
01:00:06No, I'm not kidding.
01:00:07And I need you to help me.
01:00:09You want me to help you rob Ganndix?
01:00:11What for?
01:00:12For dough, that's what for.
01:00:13But Muggs, you know.
01:00:14Never mind.
01:00:15You may belong to a new gang, but you're
01:00:16still taking orders from me.
01:00:19OK, Muggs.
01:00:22Anything you say.
01:00:24Get a hold of Ganndix and get him in a conversation.
01:00:26The main thing is to get him waiting
01:00:27in front of that store.
01:00:29Suppose you get caught.
01:00:30I got an alibi.
01:00:31And fight him while we got an excuse.
01:00:33Just tell him he looks like he needs
01:00:34a glass of milk or something.
01:00:35Take him down to McGillicuddy's.
01:00:36OK.
01:00:38Take it easy.
01:00:39Boys, there goes a chump.
01:00:43What are you whistling about?
01:00:48Well, what brings you around here this time of night?
01:00:50Well, I was sort of strolling, and I have
01:00:53to get to bed early at camp, so.
01:00:54Oh, just the novelty of staying up, eh?
01:00:56Yeah, I guess that's it.
01:00:58Well, sit down, Danny, and tell me all about army life.
01:01:01Yeah.
01:01:03Hey, they're sitting down.
01:01:04They must be tired.
01:01:06What's that slug trying to do?
01:01:07I told him to get Ganndix out of there.
01:01:09Looks like he's giving you the double cross.
01:01:11Yeah, well, if he knows what's good for him,
01:01:12he's going to take Ganndix for that walk.
01:01:14Maybe he's trying to save his rubber heels.
01:01:17You're looking well, Danny.
01:01:19The army must be treating you all right.
01:01:21Oh, I've been feeling great.
01:01:22I've only been in a month, and I've put on 50 pounds.
01:01:2450 pounds?
01:01:25Yeah.
01:01:26Two in weight and 48 in equipment.
01:01:28True.
01:01:29Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:01:31How do you like that?
01:01:32Danny turned stool pigeon.
01:01:34So what?
01:01:35Ganndix would have caught us anyway.
01:01:36There's only one thing to mix that deal up.
01:01:38I'm going to fix that right now.
01:01:40Hey, we're going back to the pool room.
01:01:41I got a date with an eight ball.
01:01:42You ever hear the old maximum, business before pleasure?
01:01:45Well, this is old business.
01:01:46Danny?
01:01:48For once and for all.
01:01:51Is the back of the garage all locked up?
01:01:52Well, sure, it's always locked up at night.
01:01:54You know that.
01:01:55I should know it.
01:01:56I used to work for you.
01:02:02Well, I have to be running along now.
01:02:04Good night, Mr. Ganndix.
01:02:05Good night, Danny.
01:02:07Drop in again before you go back to camp.
01:02:09I sure will.
01:02:13What's the matter, you got a hole in your memory?
01:02:15I talked to Ganndix just like you told me to.
01:02:17Sure you talked to him.
01:02:19You didn't follow my orders.
01:02:20You did an important job, and you hedged on it.
01:02:23You weren't really going to rob Ganndix.
01:02:24You just wanted to get me in trouble.
01:02:26Still the same old jellyfish, huh?
01:02:29You must be crazy to think I'd help you pull a job like that,
01:02:31especially in these.
01:02:33Look, I'm still head man around here,
01:02:34and when I say something, I want it done.
01:02:36I'm sorry, Mugs, but I'm through taking that kind of orders.
01:02:39You think I can still keep you in line?
01:02:41I've been doing it all my life.
01:02:44Here, Beanie.
01:02:47Is she kidding?
01:02:49No, I'm not kidding, Mugs.
01:02:50You've been asking for this for a long time,
01:02:52and now you're finally going to get it.
01:02:54Now make yourself nice and comfortable
01:02:55so when you fall, you won't hurt yourself.
01:02:57Yeah, you better be comfortable.
01:02:58Hey!
01:02:59Hey!
01:03:00Hey!
01:03:01Hey!
01:03:02Watch it, Mugs!
01:03:03Hey!
01:03:06How'd you like that, Mugs?
01:03:08I love it.
01:03:21Well, have you had enough?
01:03:24Yeah.
01:03:25Yeah, I guess that fills the bill.
01:03:31No hard feelings, huh, Mugs?
01:03:34Yeah.
01:03:36I always said the guy that married my sister
01:03:37would have to lick me first, and you've done it.
01:03:40I'm sure glad it worked out this way, Mugs.
01:03:42Well, I'm not glad, but it's all right.
01:03:46Well, we've cleaned that place out,
01:03:47and what can we get some more?
01:03:49Yeah, sure.
01:03:49You know that, don't you, Jim?
01:03:50Oh, no, no.
01:03:51Hey, well, look who's looking.
01:03:53Hey, look who's here.
01:03:54How are you, Mugs?
01:03:55How are you?
01:03:55Boy, you look great.
01:03:56What are you boys doing?
01:03:58Oh, we're taking this scrap metal down to Genick's garage
01:03:59for the salvage drive.
01:04:01Hey, didn't they get Genick for the army yet?
01:04:02Not yet.
01:04:03Well, I'm glad to see you boys,
01:04:05and it's close cooperation with the armed forces.
01:04:06Keep up the good work.
01:04:07It's too bad us guys couldn't make it.
01:04:09But we'll be in there with you next year.
01:04:10Yeah, with Danny, Glimpy, and I in there,
01:04:12the war will be over next year.
01:04:13Hey, good luck, Mugs.
01:04:14So long.
01:04:15See you in Tokyo.
01:04:16I'll see you, Jody.
01:04:18Hey, look.
01:04:20You see what I see?
01:04:21Oh, no, it can't be.
01:04:29Ivy!
01:04:30Salute your superior, officer.
01:04:32Yes, sir.
01:04:33Yes, ma'am.
01:04:34Private Lyons, get in.
01:04:35Yes, ma'am.
01:04:40Boy, ain't this a swell army?
01:04:41Where else could a buck private kiss a second lieutenant
01:04:43and like it?
01:04:44In spite of all my objections.
