I need a drink.
Maybes don't make it so.
You shouldn't be confronting Caspar. You can't trade body blows with him.
- I could put it right for you. - I don't need it.
I'll tell you. But first, you gotta promise not to say, I told you so.
When?
That's the deal, isn't it? You protect Bernie till Caspar cools down?
Even Uncle Eddie thinks that's funny.
I know
- Get me out of here! Get him out of here! Come on!
Ethics
Leo.
- But there are two of them! - I can count! Co-heads.
I'll find the Dane, talk to him, straighten it out.
- Leo's holed up at Whiskey Nick's. - What? How do you know?
It's a bad time to do that. We're both in a jam.
Twist a pig's ear, watch him squeal
- What was that party about? - We do it every week.
It's getting so a businessman can't expect no return from a fixed fight.
Tell him that, and I'll make Caspar go easy on you.
On Sailor Reese, an undercard bum.
- Get out of here! - Okay, see you later.
I'm not some guinea fresh off the boat you can kick.
I need help from friends. Like Leo and you.
Well, like you say, a guy will say anything.
I open my mouth the whole world turns smart
But come ye back
- A straight shooter, huh? A square gee? - Sneer at him like everyone else.
I'm impressed.
It's confusing. You know a yegg named Drop Johnson?
Eyties, more like it.
- You're Dane's sycophant. - I can have more than one friend.
If I never see him again, it'll be soon enough.
3- to-1, more than likely.
Always put one in the brain!
I guess you ain't been listening. Sure, other people know.
He'll sing for a couple grand, but you better take care of the Dane tonight.
Now if you can't trust a fix, what can you trust?
Congratulations.
- You thought about cutting Bernie loose? - Can't do it, Tommy.
No.
And tell me that you love me
He wants you to ask Leo to watch him. Leo listens to you.
- I guess we're walking. - I guess we are.
- What you eat for lunch? - A hot dog.
Who gave him that idea? - I did.
That's brave, little Miss Punching Bag.
Third race tonight.
You got me to tell you where he was, and you killed him.
Drink? I wouldn't mind.
I'll drive him home.
- What's the disposition? -4-to-1. Dana burned in the house.
I know. The Dane was disappointed the bulls showed up
Far as I know, the cops haven't closed your dives,
- Tommy... - Trust me on this or to hell with you.
He likes you, Tom. He said we didn't have to break anything.
It's a grift. If she didn't need you to protect her brother from Caspar,
That's sort of why I'm...
What did you tell Leo?
- He's with Mr. Caspar. - That's who I'm looking for.
Or in shadow
- I don't get it. - What's to get?
Sorry, Caspar. Bernie pays for protection.
I'm just the chief around here,
- I told you so. - What?
So you've lost your lady friend and her tail?
Or when the valley's hushed
I'm a small timer getting by, like everyone else.
The boss didn't say...
- I guess... - She's taking the car.
Nothing. We're friends. You know, amigos.
I guess I made kind of a fool of myself out there.
...ain't it the life though?
Don't worry about Leo, we got plans for him.
What the hell does that mean?
You sure? You don't look so hot.
They probably had grifter parents and grifter grandparents and someday they'll each spawn little grifter kids.
Stirring this up won't be good for anyone. It'll mean killing.
