[SHIP WHISTLE BLOWING]
HELLO, GORMAN.
WHERE IS
THE HONEYMOON CABIN?
MR. AND MRS. KROZAC
ARE IN THE IMPERIAL SUITES STRAIGHT AHEAD.
THANK YOU.
JOE'S BRINGIN'
THAT DAME BACK IS SWELL.
JOE GETS MARRIED
LIKE HE DOES EVERYTHING ELSE.
WHAT GETS ME
IS WITH ALL THOSE SMOOTH DOLLS
JOE COULD HAVE HAD--
NO, NOT FOR A WIFE.
THIS GIRL IS HEALTHY--
HOMESPUN STOCK, I IMAGINE.
JOE'S SMART.
HE KNOWS HIS EUGENICS.
YOU MEAN, HE KNOWS
HIS ONIONS, DON'T YOU?
ALL RIGHT,
ONIONS, ONIONS.
WELL, HERE'S
TO YA, BABY.
Man: HOLD IT, FOLKS.
HA HA HA!
HI, MRS. KROZAC.
GIVE US THE DOPE
ON YOUR ROMANCE WITH JOE...
FROM YOUR ANGLE.
PARDON?
HOW IT STARTED,
THE FIRST TIME YOU MET HIM,
ALL THAT STUFF.
I'M SORRY,
I'M TEACHING HER.
JUST ENOUGH, HUH?
HA HA HA!
WELL, THIS IS REAL
FRONT-PAGE STUFF, HUH?
JOE KROZAC
FINALLY MARRIED.
A RESPECTABLE
FAMILY MAN.
Man: SOMEHOW IT MAKES YOU
SWEETER, JOE.
COULD I HAVE
A COUPLE SHOTS
OF MRS. KROZAC
ALONE, JOE?
OH, SURE. WHY NOT?
YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD.
SAY, YOU BOYS
AREN'T DRINKING.
AMBASSADOR, THERE'S AN EX-FELLOW
COUNTRYMAN OF YOURS ABOARD.
JOE KROZAC?
WE ARE NO PROUD OF HIM.
SOME PEOPLE THINK
THERE'S A LOT OF GLAMOUR
ABOUT A BIG SHO RACKETEER.
I DO NOT. I REGARD HIM
AS AN ENEMY OF THE PUBLIC,
A BLOT UPON
YOUR CIVILIZATION,
A MAN WHO MAKES
ORGANIZED CRIME AND MURDER A BUSINESS.
WELL, JOE,
HOW YOU BEEN?
HIYA, JOE.
WELL, CURLY.
SEE THEY FIXED
THESE CANOES--
HAVE A DRINK.
THAT-A BOY.
SURE GLAD TO SEE YOU.
SPEAKING AS
YOUR LAWYER, JOE,
DOES MRS. KROZAC
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THINGS?
NOPE. I'M KEEPING
MY PRIVATE LIFE PRIVATE.
WOULD IT MAKE
ANY DIFFERENCE TO HER IF SHE DID KNOW?
LISTEN, I WON'T HAVE
ANY TROUBLE WITH TALYA.
SHE'S HAND-PICKED
FROM MY OLD HOMETOWN.
I TOOK HER TO PARIS
AND PUT HER THROUGH EVERYTHING--
FACIAL MASSAGES,
MANICURES--
LACE PANTS,
ALL THE WORKS.
ALL SHE KNOWS
FROM NOW ON IS RAISING A FAMILY.
ANOTHER DAFFY GUY
YOU KNOW IS GETTING MARRIED, TOO.
YEAH? WHO'S THAT?
FRANKIE KILE.
WELL, I'LL HAVE TO SEND HIM
A WEDDING PRESENT.
HE TOOK HIS PRESEN IN ADVANCE TWO WEEKS AGO.
HE AND HIS 3 BROTHERS
MOVED HIM TO BROOKLYN.
YOU LET HIM.
LISTEN, THE LAS WORDS YOU SAID TO ME BEFORE YOU SAILED--
AND YOU SPOKE 'EM
INTO THIS EAR, NOT THIS ONE--
WAS DON'T DO NOTHIN'
UNTIL I GET BACK. REMEMBER?
OK--
AND YOU SAID AS HOW
NAPOLEON APPRECIATED ONE THING IN A SOLDIER.
OBEDIENCE!
I LIKE A GUY
THAT USES HIS HEAD,
THE GUY SMART ENOUGH
TO ACT IN AN EMERGENCY.
AND THE KILE BROTHERS
MOVING INTO BROOKLYN IS AN EMERGENCY,
BUT YOU WOULDN' KNOW IT, 'CAUSE YOUR BRAIN IS SET IN CEMENT.
YOU LET THE OTHER GUY
POKE HIS NOSE AROUND THE CORNER,
AND PRETTY SOON
HE'S ON YOUR FRONT LAWN.
PRETTY SOON, HE'S YOU.
I LEARNED THA WHEN I WAS 16 YEARS OLD.
THAT'S WHY WHEN ANY GUY
PUT UP HIS HEAD, I CUT IT DOWN.
THAT'S WHY I GO WAREHOUSES AND MEN AND TRUCKS
AND PRIVATE TELEPHONES
FROM COAST TO COAST.
THAT'S WHY I GO YOU GUYS WORKING FOR ME.
THE KILE BROTHERS
DIDN'T FORGET YOU.
HERE'S YOUR INVITATION
TO THE WEDDING.
OK.
I'LL GIVE HIM
A PRESENT...
AND IT WON'T BE BROOKLYN.
[MACHINE GUN FIRE]
Man: FRANK! FRANKIE!
IT'S KROZAC'S MOB.

[ALL TALKING AT ONCE]

JOE KROZAC'S WIFE
AND BABY VISIT PRISON!
EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
JOE KROZAC'S BABY

BUT I WAN TO SEE HIM!
THE EDITOR...
OH, HOW DO YOU CALL HIM...
THE EDITOR,
YOU CALL HIM, YES?
BUT, LADY--
BUT I MUST SEE HIM,
YOU UNDERSTAND?
JUST A MINUTE, LADY!
WHO SAYS
ALL THESE THINGS?
WHO WRITES ALL THIS?
I'M SORRY, BOSS.
IT'S OK, FREDDY.
HELLO, MRS. KROZAC.
YOU ARE MRS. JOE KROZAC,
AREN'T YOU?
YES, AND I'M HERE
TO STOP ALL THIS.
WHO WRITES
ALL THE THINGS ABOUT MY JOE AND MY BABY?
COME OVER HERE,
MY DEAR.
THIS IS ALL LIES.
YOU LIE ABOU MY JOE ALL THE TIME,
ALL NEWSPAPER.
NOW YOU LIE
ABOUT HIS BABY.
MY LITTLE SON...
YOU PUT A BAD NAME ON HIM!
YOU MAKE EVERYBODY
TO HATE HIM!
SIT RIGHT HERE
AND CALM YOURSELF.
WE'LL HAVE THIS
ALL STRAIGHTENED OUT IN A MINUTE.
JUMP IN THE MORGUE
AND PULL OUT EVERYTHING ON MR. KROZAC--
ALL THOSE NICE PICTURES,
ESPECIALLY.
WE'RE GLAD YOU DROPPED
DOWN, MRS. KROZAC.
MAC...HOLD
THE FINAL 15 MINUTES. MORE ON KROZAC.
THE PICTURES WILL BE
UP RIGHT AWAY.
NOW, THIS IS
A LITTLE JOB HE DID
TO ONE OF THE DUFFY
BOYS IN CHICAGO.
THAT WAS BEFORE
HE WAS A BIG SHOT,
WHEN HE CARRIED
A GUN HIMSELF.
DID YOU KNOW HE WAS
PRETTY GOOD WITH A GUN, MRS. KROZAC?
JOE...SHOT PEOPLE?
NO.
YOU GET IT?
BLISSFUL,
HAPPY IGNORANCE OF EVERYTHING.
A JEKYLL-AND-HYDE
HUSBAND.
THE WORLD HATED
WHILE SHE LOVED.
NOW, THAT WAS WHEN
HE WAS IN A MORE EXPANSIVE MOOD,
WHEN HE REALLY
GOT GOING--
5 MEN ALL AT ONCE
WITH A MACHINE GUN
WHEN THEIR BACKS
WERE TURNED, MRS. KROZAC.
IT ISN' VERY PRETTY, IS IT?
COURSE, WE COULDN' PROVE IT IN COURT,
BUT EVERYBODY
IN THE COUNTRY KNEW THAT JOE DID IT.
YOU SEE, WE DON' WANT TO PRIN ANY LIES HERE,
MRS. KROZAC.
YOU BELIEVE IT NOW,
DON'T YOU?
REALIZATION CAME
LIKE A SUDDEN BLOW.
SHE SAW
THE FAIRY STORY
OF HER HUSBAND'S
POLITICAL CAREER WRITTEN IN BLOOD.
Talya: WHY?
WHY DO JOE...
SEARCH ME. MAYBE
IT WAS SO HE COULD BE NICE AND RICH
A MARRY A NICE GIRL
LIKE YOU SOMEDAY
AND GIVE HER THINGS
LIKE THAT, HUH?
MAYBE THAT WAS IT.
OR MAYBE IT WAS SO HIS SON, YOUR BABY,
COULD GROW UP
AND GO TO COLLEGE
AND HAVE A BIG CAR
AND A RACCOON COAT, HUH?
BUT MY BABY
DIDN'T DO ALL THIS.
IT'S NO RIGHT FOR HIM
TO KNOW ALL THIS.
THAT YOUNG FELLOW
AND HIS WIFE HAD BABIES--
TWO BABIES, I THINK.
BUT JOE HAD HIS BOYS
TAKE HIM FOR A RIDE
BECAUSE HE DIDN' AGREE WITH JOE.
PRETTY CLEVER,
HUH, MRS. KROZAC?
AND THAT WIFE
SHOT HERSELF
WHEN SHE SAW HIM
LYING IN THE MORGUE LIKE THAT.
NOW THOSE BABIES ARE
IN AN ORPHAN ASYLUM, I GUESS.
IT'S THE OLD ANGLE,
PAUL--SINS OF THE FATHER.
SINS OF THE FATHER
VISITED UPON HER CHILD.
YEAH, I GET IT.
YOU? YOU WRITE
ALL THESE THINGS ABOUT MY BABY?
OH...NO,
BUT YOU SAW HIM!
WAIT A MINUTE.
LET'S TALK SOME MORE, MRS. KROZAC.
PLEASE, DON' SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT MY BABY.
WHY, IT'S JUST NEWS,
MRS. KROZAC.
YOUR BABY
WILL BE FAMOUS FOR A LONG TIME.
EVERYBODY WILL WAN TO READ ABOUT HIM.
OH, NO! PLEASE...
I'M NO MAD
ANYMORE NOW, BUT...
PLEASE...
[CRYING]
NOW, NOW,
WAIT A MINUTE, MRS. KROZAC.
WELL, I GUESS
THAT'S EVERYTHING.
CRACK DOWN ON IT,
PAUL--THE WORKS.
I'LL RAP OU A NEW HEAD.
WELL,
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?
OH, IT'S LOVELY.
I DON'T KNOW,
I GUESS I'VE GONE NOBLE OR SOMETHING.
I CAN'T TAKE IT.
ARE YOU NUTS?
NO. I JUST CAUGH A FLASH OF YOU AND ME
AND WE'RE A COUPLE
OF PRETTY FILTHY- LOOKING GUYS.
THAT GIRL NEVER
KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS KROZAC STUFF.
SHE'S ON THE LEVEL.
GET BACK
ON THAT TYPEWRITER, YOU SILLY SLUG.
YOU HEARD ME TELL
MAC 15 MINUTES.
YOU BETTER GE ANOTHER BOY.
COME ON, YOU AND ME ARE
GETTING OUT OF HERE.
HEY, PAUL,
WAIT A MINUTE! SNAP OUT OF IT.
YOU'LL NO WRITE
ANYMORE ABOUT MY BABY?
NO, NO.
LISTEN, YOU CRAZY FOOL,
THAT'S A GREAT STORY!
SO WAS THE SLAUGHTER
OF THE INNOCENTS.
LONG WALK UP THIS HILL.
ARE YOU TIRED?
NO...BUT I MUS STOP CRYING.
TO CRY
WILL FIX NOTHING.
OH...
SOMETIMES IT DOES.
THE FATHER OF
MY CHILD, OUT THERE IN A CELL SOMEPLACE
BECAUSE HE DID
ALL THOSE THINGS.
WHEN JOE AND I
MARRIED,
I WAS IN LOVE,
AND I BELIEVED
EVERYTHING HE SAID.
THEN ALL THE
THINGS HAPPENED.
THEY COME AND
TAKE JOE, AND...
I HEAR
AND UNDERSTAND ALL THINGS.
TODAY,
I WATCH JOE'S FACE.
I WONDER.
ALL AT ONCE,
I GREW UP INSIDE,
AND ALL AT ONCE,
I FEEL...
OLD AND EMPTY.
OH, NOW,
JOE PROBABLY KEPT THOSE THINGS FROM YOU
TO MAKE YOU HAPPY,
YOU KNOW?
OH, NO. I THINK
HE KNEW I'LL BE SICK AND ASHAMED IF I KNEW.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO NOW?
I WAIT UNTIL I SEE JOE
NEXT TIME,
AND I TELL HIM THE NAMES
TO GIVE HIS BABY...
AND HE KNOWS
WHAT I HAVE TO DO, AND HE SAY YES.
HI.
SAY...DIDN'T YOU
BRING THE BABY?
WHERE'S THE KID?
NO, JOE.
I DIDN'T BRING HIM
THIS TIME.
BUT WHY NOT?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
ANYTHING WRONG?
HE AIN'T SICK,
IS HE?
NO, HE'S ALL RIGHT,
JOE.
WELL, WHAT'S
THE MATTER, THEN?
WHAT ARE YOU
STANDING THERE LIKE A DUMMY?
WHAT'S THIS
WHOLE THING ABOUT?
LOOK, JOE.
HUH. WELL, I GUESS
MAYBE THEY GOT SOME SENSE NOW.
I GUESS MAYBE
THEY KNOW
HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH
JOE KROZAC'S KID.
THAT'S FINE.
OH, JOE,
DO NOT LAUGH!
WHY NOT?
SOMEDAY, THAT KID,
HE'S GOING
TO LAUGH AT THAT PICTURE, TOO.
PUBLIC ENEMY JUNIOR,
HUH?
WELL,
HE'LL SHOW 'EM.
BUT YOU SEE THE GUN?
YOU MAKE MY BABY
A KILLER, TOO?
WHO HAVE YOU
BEEN TALKING TO?
YOU SHUT UP,
YOU HEAR?!
COME ON, NOW...
LET'S CUT OU ALL THIS DAFFY TALK, SEE?
BUT I MUST NOT BRING
BABY AGAIN, JOE.
YOU SEE,
IT IS THE ONLY THING TO DO NOW.
WHAT'S THAT?
OH, JOE...
I'M SORRY FOR YOU,
JOE, BUT...
YOU DIDN'T TELL ME
THE TRUTH.
AND NOW
OUR LITTLE BOY... MY LITTLE BOY...
ALL HIS LIFE,
HE WILL HAVE A BAD NAME.
HE'S GOT MY NAME.
WHAT'S BETTER THAN THAT? YOURS?
OH, JOE, I MUST NEVER
BRING HIM HERE AGAIN.
I KNOW. I MUST TAKE HIM
AWAY SOMEPLACE...
CHANGE HIS NAME,
CHANGE MY NAME...
SO THAT PEOPLE
NEVER FOLLOW HIM
AND POINT TO HIM AS
THE SON OF JOE KROZAC.
SAY, YOU FORGE YOU EVER SAID THAT!
SOMETIMES WHEN ALL
EXCITEMENT GOES DOWN
AND PEOPLE DON' THINK ANYMORE...
I COME BACK
TO SEE YOU, JOE.
YOU HEARD
WHAT I SAID!
SO YOU'RE RATTING
ON ME, TOO!
I COME BECAUSE
I'M SORRY FOR YOU, JOE.
YOU LIVE WRONG, AND...
BUT YOU ARE THE MAN
I LOVE, JOE,
AND YOU LOVE ME, TOO,
AND YOU MARRIED ME.
AW, GET AWAY!
I MARRIED YOU
BECAUSE
YOU WERE MY KIND
FOR A KID, SEE?
A FAMILY--
JOE KROZAC, JR.!
YOU DON'T COUN FOR ANYTHING,
AND DON'T YOU
FORGET IT!
JOE...YOU DON' MEAN THAT!
YOU HEARD ME!

HERE AND BRING THAT KID EVERY MONTH,
OR ELSE, UNDERSTAND?
Guard:

THAT'S MY KID,
YOU HEAR ME!
I GOT PLANS
FOR THAT KID!
YOU TRY AND SNATCH HIM,
AND I'LL HAVE YOU DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT!

DRESSED FANCY EVERY MONTH,
OR I'LL KNOW
THE REASON WHY! HE'S MY KID!
HE'S MY KID,
YOU HEAR ME?!
YOU'D BETTER

[DOOR SLAMS]
AW, SHE CAN' GET AWAY WITH THAT KIND OF STUFF.
TRY TO TAKE
MY KID AWAY.
WHERE DOES SHE
GET OFF TO PULL THAT KIND OF STUFF?
YEAH...
OH, NO.
HUMPH.
DON'T YOU WORRY
ABOUT ME CUTTING ANY WRISTS.
I GOT TOO MANY
THINGS TO DO WHEN I GET OUT.
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH NAPOLEON THIS MORNING?
OH, YES...
HOW COME JOE JUNIOR DON'T VISI HIS BIG SHOT FATHER
NO MORE?
HE TAKE A POWDER

IT'S KROZAC!
[SIREN BLARING]

[BELL RINGING]
[INMATES COUGHING]
[COUGHING]
Paul: HEY!

WELL, DID YOU TALK I OVER WITH HIM, TALYA?
OH, PAUL, DARLING...
TALYA...
THERE'S A LAW
THAT WILL MAKE YOU
AUTOMATICALLY FREE...
THAT CAN BE DONE
ALL VERY QUIETLY,
AND THEN
NO ONE WILL KNOW,
JUST AS THEY
DON'T KNOW NOW.
LITTLE PAUL

BUT...IT WOULDN' BE FAIR TO YOU.
NO MATTER HOW
WE TRY TO FORGET,
TRY TO HIDE...
ALL THAT'S BEEN
STILL IS, PAUL.
AND THERE'S
SOMETHING ELSE.
THAT BOY OUGHT TO
GROW UP WITH A MAN
AROUND THE HOUSE,
SHOULDN'T HE?
OH, DARLING,
YOU'VE DONE TOO MUCH ALREADY.
THIS IS ALL
I EVER WANTED TO DO.
EVERYTHING ELSE HAS
JUST BEEN LEADING UP TO THIS, I GUESS.
NOW I FEEL AS THOUGH
MY HEART'S GOING TO STOP BEATING
FOR 10 SECONDS
WHILE I...WHILE I WAIT TO HEAR
WHETHER OR NO I CAN KEEP ON DOING THIS FOREVER.
I THINK YOUR HEART IS
TOO BIG TO EVER STOP.
OH, NOW, CUT IT OUT.
YOU PUT THE PAPER TO BED.
THAT BOY OF MINE
WILL SCALP ME IF I'M 5 MINUTES LATE TODAY.
ALL RIGHT, PAUL,
BUT I WANT TO SEE
IF THIS IS YOUR IDEA
OF THE STRIKE STORY SETUP.
YEAH. OH, VERY NICE.

WELL, IF IT ISN'T THA HOMELY WOMAN I MARRIED.

WE WOULDN'T GIVE I A THOUGHT.
HE'S JUST AS FAR
REMOVED FROM YOU AND PAUL NOW
AS HE WAS BEFORE.
DARLING,
YOU'RE HIDDEN.
YOU'RE HIDDEN BY
10 YEARS OF ME AND THIS HOUSE.
THE WHOLE WORLD'S
FORGOTTEN.
AND NOBODY
AND NOTHING

CHANGE THAT.
I KNOW.
I'M SILLY, DARLING,
BUT JUST FOR A MOMENT,

BOSS?

HALF THE STUFF AIN' AS GOOD AS WHAT WE USED TO PUT OUT,
BUT IT WARMS YOU
INTERNALLY.
IT DON'T GO DOWN
SO EASY AFTER A LONG TIME OFF OF IT,
DOES IT, MR. KROZAC?
I GUESS FRISCO

SHE MARRIED
ANOTHER GUY.
YEAH, I KNOW,
I KNOW.
WHERE ARE THEY?
WHERE ARE THEY HANGING OUT?
I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE GUY'S NAME IS.
LAST I HEARD OF HER,

WELL, THEN, WE'RE GONNA
FIND THAT DAME, SEE?
AND I'M GOING TO

PAY HER OFF
GOOD AND PLENTY.
THEN I'M GOING TO

FOR 10 YEARS I WAITED
TO CATCH UP WITH HER.
10 YEARS!
JOE, BUT WHA ABOUT US?

I AIN'T GOIN'

YEAH.
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.
SO, UH, ALL THE BOYS

THANKS.
WELL, YOU ME THEM ALL, BOSS.
NOW MAYBE WE

WELL, BOYS...
I GUESS WE CAN

JUST SO LONG AS
YOU'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER
WHO'S BOSS

LIMPY HERE AND CURLY
AND BROCKETT,
THEY'LL TELL YOU JUST HOW TO RUN
AN ORGANIZATION, EH, BOYS?
SO JUST YOU REMEMBER WHO'S BOSS,

UNDERSTAND?
YOU'RE FULL OF WIND

IS HE ON THE LEVEL?
MAYBE BOTTLES IS
A LITTLE QUICK, JOE,
BUT THAT'S THE WAY

EVERYTHING'S
STREAMLINED,

YOU'RE NOT FOOLING
NOBODY.
YOU'RE CRAZY!
OK. PICK HIM UP.
PICK UP YOUR FEET!
YOU'VE HAD
A 10-HOUR WALK, JOE.
FEELING IN

HE'LL NEVER TALK.
HIYA, BOYS.
HIYA, RED. HERE?
YUP.
BRING HIM IN.
BRING HIM DOWN.
I THINK

THE GREAT JOE KROZAC.
HE'S BEEN PINING
FOR YOU, SONNY BOY.
FATHER?

Y-YOU'RE KIDDING,
AIN'T YOU?
HOW DO I KNOW
THIS IS MY--MY--
THIS OUGH TO MAKE IT SINK HOME.
SEE? THAT'S
MY FATHER.
THAT'S DADS
AND MOTHER.
YOU'RE JUS KIDNAPPERS, AREN'T YOU?
I SEE WHAT YOU'RE
HEADING FOR.
NO USE TRYING ANYTHING
WITH THIS KID, SEE?
BECAUSE THAT AIN' A PICTURE OF THAT DAME.
NO, NO, THAT AIN' THE WOMAN!
I OUGHT TO KNOW!
CURLY OUGH TO KNOW, TOO.
YOU'RE SCREWY,
CURLY.
THAT'S JUST SOMEBODY
WHO LOOKS LIKE HER.
YOU AIN'T GOING TO
WORK THE BOY OVER, ARE YOU?
THAT ALL DEPENDS
ON YOU, JOE.
YOU GOING
TO TALK?
LISTEN, BOY--
YOU'RE NOT MINE, SEE?
THEY JUST THINK
YOU ARE, SEE?
SO NO MATTER WHA THEY DO TO YOU, YOU CAN TAKE IT.
I KNOW THAT YOU CAN.
JUST LIKE
YOUR OLD MAN, SEE?
I DON'T KNOW WHA YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!
LET ME GO HOME
TO MOTHER AND DADS!
DON'T LET THEM
THROW YOU, JOEY!
START HIM OFF.
I THINK YOU'LL
DECIDE TO TALK, JOE.
Hood: START WALKING,
SONNY.
Boy: HUH?

PICK THEM UP!
FEET! FEET!
ALL RIGHT, MY SON.
DAD'S AT BREAKFAST.

EAT BREAKFAST, HMM?
PAUL!
PAUL! PAUL!
WHAT IS IT?
THEY'VE TAKEN HIM!

HE'S COME

OH, HE HAS HIM NOW!
I'LL NEVER
SEE HIM AGAIN!
AND HE'LL TELL HIM
EVERYTHING!
WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?
I'M GOING TO CALL
THE BUREAU AT WASHINGTON.
THE POLICE? NO!
IT'LL GET IN THE PAPERS,
AND WHEREVER HE IS,
HE'LL SEE IT!
HE'LL SHOW I TO HIM!
EVERYTHING WE'VE
BEEN TRYING TO HIDE!
NOW, DARLING, WASHINGTON
HAS KNOWN ALL ALONG ABOUT YOU AND PAUL.
THEY'VE HAD TO.
IT'S THEIR BUSINESS.
BUT I SWEAR TO YOU,
THEY'LL KEEP THIS THING ABSOLUTELY QUIET.
WHEN I GIVE THEM THE WORD,
IT WILL BREAK IN EVERY NEWSPAPER IN THE COUNTRY.
I KNOW IT WILL BE
HARD FOR HIM TO KNOW,
BUT I THINK THAT BOY
HAS ENOUGH SPIRIT TO OUTLIVE ANYTHING.
SPIN AROUND, SONNY.
THAT'S THE OL' KID.
GETTING HOT,
PAULSY WALSIE?
HOW ABOUT A NICE,
COOL DRINK OF ICE WATER?
YOU WOULDN'T GIVE ME
THE SANDWICH,
YOU WON'T GIVE ME
THE WATER, EITHER!
Joe: YOU HEARD THAT?
I GUESS THAT TOLD YOU!
I DON'T KNOW WHOSE
KID HE IS, BUT HE'S AS GAME AS A PIT DOG!
THAT'S THROWING I IN THERE, KID!
WHOEVER HIS OLD MAN IS,
HE SURE OUGHT TO BE PROUD OF HIM!
Hood: COME ON,
CURLY. WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
Boy: WAIT, DON'T!
PLEASE, DON'T!
ARE YOU GOING

OK, STAR GIVING THE KID A WORKOUT.
OWW! PLEASE, DON'T!
SHUT UP!
CUT IT OUT!
OK!
WILL YOU TALK NOW?
OK. I'LL TELL YOU.

MY OLD WESTCHESTER HOME?

WELL, OUT BY
THE SWIMMING POOL IS A GREAT BIG...
THIS IS THE LAS STOP, JOE.
WHAT?
COME ON!
WE'RE SAYING GOOD-BYE, PAPA.

HOTTER THAN A FIRECRACKER NOW,
AND WE GOT ENOUGH
HOT STUFF AS IT IS.
YEAH, YOU CAN GE TO KNOW THE KID BETTER!
THEN MAYBE ALL 4 OF YOU
CAN LIVE TOGETHER!
HOW ARE YOU
DUCKING BULLETS, JOE?
YEAH, THE FEDS WILL
BE SHOOTING AT YOU FROM ALL SIDES!
THANKS FOR
THE BUS FARE!
THEY AIN'T GETTING AWAY
WITH A THING.
THAT DOUGH AIN'T GOING
TO BE THEIRS FOR LONG.
WAS THERE MUCH?
THE BOX LOOKED

PLENTY. BUT THA DON'T MATTER.
SOON AS I STRAIGHTEN OU THAT OLD LADY OF YOURS,
I'M GOING TO TAKE CARE
OF THOSE SMART DOUBLE-CROSSERS--
ONE BY ONE,

AND THERE WON'T BE
ANY MISTAKING WHO DONE IT.
THE KROZAC TRADEMARK

COME ON.
ARE YOU COMING
HOME WITH ME?
YEAH, I GOT A DATE
WITH THAT DAME IN YOUR WATCH FOB.
MY--MY MOTHER?
OK, CALL HER THAT.
I GUESS I DON' UNDERSTAND YOU AT ALL.
MOTHER AND DADS

YEAH, I WONDER.
LISTEN, KID, THERE'S
A LOT OF THINGS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND,
BUT YOU WILL
SOON ENOUGH,
BECAUSE YOU'RE MY
KIND OF A KID, SEE?
I...GUESS.
IT'S AWFULLY FUNNY ABOU THOSE MEN THINKING I WAS YOUR SON,
ISN'T IT?
NO, NO, IT ISN'T.
BECAUSE YOU
ARE MY SON, SEE?
THAT'S ONE THING
YOU'VE GOT TO GET RIGHT NOW.
I--I CAN GET HOME
WITHOUT YOU.
Y-YOU DON'T NEED
TO COME ALONG.
NOW WAIT A MINUTE,
JOEY.
JUST A SECOND, JOEY.
MY NAME ISN'T JOEY.
IT'S PAUL NORTH, JR.
YOU'RE CRAZY IF YOU SAY
IT'S ANYTHING ELSE.
I THINK YOU'RE ALL
CRAZY ANYWAY!
LET ME ALONE!
HEY! NO KID OF MINE
IS GOING TO HAND ME ANY LIP!
I DIDN'T SWEA HALF MY LIFE IN A STEEL BOX
TO COME OUT AND
GET THIS FROM YOU!
YOU'RE JOE!
JOE KROZAC, JR., UNDERSTAND?
AND YOU AND I ARE
GOING BACK TO THAT DAME--YOUR MOTHER--
AND SHE'LL TELL YOU
THAT I'M YOUR FATHER FROM FIRST TO LAST,
UNUNDERSTAND?
YES.
YOU GOING TO BEHAVE?
SURE. SURE, I AM.
OK.
COME ON. WE GOT TO
GET OUT OF THIS.
[THUNDER]
DIG IN UNDER.
THAT'S WHAT YOU DO
WITH A HAYSTACK.
AH.
[COCK CROWS]
DID YOU LEAVE ANY MONEY
FOR THE EGGS?
BOY, YOU SURE GO FUNNY IDEAS.
BUT YOU AND I ARE
GOING TO GET ALONG ALL RIGHT, EH, KID?
WE WON'T HAVE
ANY MORE BEEFS ON EACH OTHER.
I HOPE NOT.
'CAUSE YOU GO BRAINS.
YOU KNOW, I LIKE
BRAINS AROUND ME.
YOUR ANGLE ON
DIGGING LAST NIGHT, YOU KNOW?
AND THIS FIRE,
WITH THE POLES AND EVERYTHING--
WHERE DID YOU
LEARN ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF?
FROM DADS.
OH.
YOU SEE, HE TAUGHT ME
ALL ABOUT CAMPING OUT LIKE THIS.
YOU SEE, WE WENT ON
A CAMP HIKE LAST MONTH--
COME ON, COME ON.
LET'S GET MOVING.
WE HAD A RACE
TO SEE WHO COULD--
COME ON, COME ON.
CATCH THE MOST FISH,
AND HE CAUGHT 20 BASS
AND PICKEREL,
AND THAT ONLY MADE--
FISH, FISH--GO ON,
STOP THAT, WILL YOU?
LAY OFF
OF THAT STUFF.
I DON'T GIVE THA FISH STUFF A NOD,
NO MATTER HOW MANY
YOU'VE CAUGHT.
I'M SORRY.
WHAT ARE YOU
SORRY ABOUT?
ALWAYS FEELING SORRY.
DON'T DO THAT, KID, WILL YOU?
WASTE OF TIME.
COME ON.
I'M SOR--
I MEAN, OK.
ATTABOY. YOU'LL SMARTEN UP

OK, PUT THEM ON.
YES, YES, SPEAKING.
WHAT? YES, WHERE?
BUT WHAT ABOUT MY...
OH. YES. I'LL BE
HERE ALL THE TIME.
WHAT?
NOTHING ABOUT PAUL
YET, DARLING.
THEY CAUGHT UP WITH
THE KROZAC GANG
AND SHOT IT OU WITH THEM. THEY'RE ALL DEAD NOW.
BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE PAUL.
BUT WHAT ABOUT HIM?
HE WASN'T WITH THEM, EITHER.
THEN HE HAS HIM.
HE HAS MY LITTLE BOY!
I'LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN!
YOU ALL RIGHT, KID?
I GUESS SO.
[CHUCKLES]
SAY, WHAT'S THAT?
GOT DECORATED, HUH?
OH, IT'S JUS A MEDAL THEY GAVE ME IN SCHOOL.
LINCOLN MEDAL.
THAT'S PRETTY GOOD, HUH?
I GUESS IT IS KIND
OF AN HONOR.
WHY DO THEY CALL I A LINCOLN MEDAL?
YOU GOT TO LOOK LIKE
ABRAHAM LINCOLN?
OH, NO. YOU SEE,
IT'S FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT.
YEAH?
AND, WELL, LINCOLN
WAS A GREAT MAN.
OH, SURE.
LINCOLN WAS OK.
BUT IF THEY'D HAVE PU NAPOLEON ON THERE,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
A REAL FIRST-CLASS MEDAL.
[LAUGHS]
NAPOLEON?
YEAH.
DADS SAID NAPOLEON
GOT A SWOLLEN HEAD.
THAT'S WHA BEAT HIM DOWN.
OH. SO NOW HE'S GOING TO
PAY OFF NAPOLEON, IS HE?
SMART GUY, IS HE?
NOW HE'S GOING TO
PAY OFF NAPOLEON!
MAYBE
!! HE WON THAT MEDAL INSTEAD OF YOU.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
HE DID HELP ME
GET IT.
WELL, THAT'S
WHAT HE SAID.
WELL, YOU SEE,
I ALMOST FLUNKED IN MATH,
AND DADS SHOWED ME
A NEW WAY TO--
HEY, CAN THA DADS STUFF!
BUT I ONLY SAID--
CUT IT OUT,
YOU HEAR ME?
DADS, DADS, DADS!

YOU'RE MY KID, SEE?
JOEY! JOE KROZAC, JR.!
YOU'LL GET THAT INTO
YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW, OR--
PLEASE, DON'T!
DON'T, JOE!
YOU'RE GETTING
ALL SICK AGAIN!
PLEASE!
YEAH.
OK.
GUESS THIS WILL
HAVE TO WAIT.
OOH.
NOW YOU'VE HUR YOUR SORE EYE.
HERE--
I'VE GOT SOME ADHESIVE
IN MY EMERGENCY POCKET.
I'LL JUST CLEAN IT UP
A LITTLE.
HERE'S YOUR MEDAL,
KID.
I CAN'T NOW,
I'M TOO BUSY.
I'LL KEEP I FOR YOU.
WELL, WE GO A CROAKER.
ALWAYS COME IN HANDY
IN OUR FAMILY--
EH, KID?
HUH? OH, YES.
[THUNDER]

NO, I'M ALL RIGHT.
OH, MY DEAR!
HI, DADS. I'M HERE.
OH, SON!
THAT'S A BOY.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, BUT I HAVE
TO SLEEP.
LEAVE HIM ALONE.
OH, IT'S ALL RIGHT, JOE.

IS HIS NAME--
HE BROUGHT ME HOME.
DIDN'T YOU, JOE?
ALL RIGHT,
GET AWAY.
THERE YOU ARE.
YOU GO QUITE A DUCKING, DIDN'T YOU, SON?
HERE, I'LL DO THAT.
THE LAST TIME
IT RAINED, WE SLEPT IN A HAYSTACK.
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN
WITH US, DADS. IT WAS FUN.
I'LL BET IT WAS.
YOU KNOW, JOE TRIED
TO MAKE A FIRE,
AND I SHOWED HIM HOW.
THEY WAY YOU SHOWED ME.
DIDN'T I, JOE?
LET'S GET THIS
COAT OFF.
YOU TWO MUS HAVE HAD SOME EXPERIENCE, HUH?
YES.
HERE ARE YOUR
PAJAMAS, DARLING.
THE ONES YOU LIKE...
HOW ABOU A BIG GLASS OF HOT MILK?
HUH? OH, NO.
I'M...TOO SLEEPY,
I GUESS.
YOU ASK JOE.
JOE IS PROBABLY
HUNGRY, THOUGH.
JOE, YOU TALK WITH
MOTHER AND DADS.
THEY CAN HELP ANYBODY.
YOU SEE, MOTHER AND DADS,
JOE ISN'T VERY WELL.
SOMETIMES HE DOESN' REALIZE WHAT HE'S SAYING.
BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT, JOE.
YOU CAN TALK
WITH MOTHER AND DADS.
THEY'RE WONDERFUL.
YOU'VE PROBABLY NEVER
HAD ANYONE LIKE THEM,
BECAUSE YOU WOULDN' HAVE HAD ALL THE TROUBLE YOU'VE HAD.
EVERY NOW AND THEN,
JOE THINKS HE HAS
A SON LIKE ME.
HE EVEN CALLS ME JOEY.
IT WAS FUNNY.
I WASN'T AFRAID OF HIM,
BUT...HE'S A GOOD SCOUT.
HE'S OK.
GOOD NIGHT.
CAN I GET YOU
SOMETHING TO EAT, JOE?
HUH?
THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING HIM BACK.
WITH ALL MY HEART,
I THANK YOU.
YOU ARE PROUD OF HIM,
AREN'T YOU?
HE IS THE KIND
OF A BOY
YOU REALLY HOPED
FOR, ISN'T HE?
ISN'T HE, JOE?
I DON'T KNOW.
I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.
HE AIN'T THE KIND OF KID
I'D PUT MY MONEY ON,
EXACTLY.
YOU GOT HIM CONNED INTO
ONE WAY OF THINKING, SO WHAT THE HECK?
LET HIM STAY THAT WAY,
FOR ALL I GIVE A DARN.
HE DIDN'T SWALLOW
WHAT I TOLD HIM, ANYWAY.
YOU CAN JUST TELL HIM
I WAS NUTS, YOU KNOW.
STIR-CRAZY.
ME? I LIKE A KID
WITH SOME...
WITH SOME GET-UP-AND-GO
TO HIM!
I LIKE A KID THA KNOWS ALL THE ANSWERS,
ALL THE ANGLES!
WHY, I LIKE A KID THAT...
H-HOW DO YOU
GET OUT OF HERE?
GOOD LUCK, JOE.
[THUNDER]
HELLO, JOE.
I SAW YOU DELIVERING
YOUR BOY.
AREN'T YOU STAYING
TO TAKE HIM OVER NOW?
YOU'RE RUNNING OU ON HIM, EH?
GETTING BIG-HEARTED.
THAT TOUCHES ME, JOE.
I'M GOING TO HELP YOU.
START WALKING
INTO THE ALLEY.
WELL, YOU'VE HAD
A NICE, LONG TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT,
AND NOW IT'S HERE, JOE.
MOVE ON.
NOW JUST STAND THERE
A MINUTE
AND I'LL GIVE YOU
SOMETHING ELSE TO THINK ABOUT.
SO YOU'RE KIND
OF BASHFUL ABOUT LETTING PEOPLE KNOW
HE'S YOUR BOY,
ARE YOU?
WELL, I'LL DO I FOR YOU, JOE.
AFTER I PUMP YOU
FULL OF THIS,
I'M GOING TO DROP
A LITTLE NOTE
TO EVERY NEWSPAPER
IN TOWN.
GOING TO TELL THEM
ABOUT YOUR BOY.
GOING TO TELL THEM
WHAT YOU DON'T SEEM SO PROUD OF ANYMORE.
THAT HE'S
JOE KROZAC'S SON.
ALL HIS LITTLE PALS
ARE GOING TO KNOW IT FROM NOW ON, JOE.
NO, YOU WON'T.
STAY THERE, JOE,
I HAVEN'T FINISHED.
[GUNSHOT]
THEY'LL ALL KNOW IT,
JOE--EVERYBODY.
JOE KROZAC, JR.!
JOE KROZAC...
[GUNSHOTS]
HELLO, GORMAN.
WHERE IS
THE HONEYMOON CABIN?
MR. AND MRS. KROZAC
ARE IN THE IMPERIAL SUITES STRAIGHT AHEAD.
THANK YOU.
JOE'S BRINGIN'
THAT DAME BACK IS SWELL.
JOE GETS MARRIED
LIKE HE DOES EVERYTHING ELSE.
WHAT GETS ME
IS WITH ALL THOSE SMOOTH DOLLS
JOE COULD HAVE HAD--
NO, NOT FOR A WIFE.
THIS GIRL IS HEALTHY--
HOMESPUN STOCK, I IMAGINE.
JOE'S SMART.
HE KNOWS HIS EUGENICS.
YOU MEAN, HE KNOWS
HIS ONIONS, DON'T YOU?
ALL RIGHT,
ONIONS, ONIONS.
WELL, HERE'S
TO YA, BABY.
Man: HOLD IT, FOLKS.
HA HA HA!
HI, MRS. KROZAC.
GIVE US THE DOPE
ON YOUR ROMANCE WITH JOE...
FROM YOUR ANGLE.
PARDON?
HOW IT STARTED,
THE FIRST TIME YOU MET HIM,
ALL THAT STUFF.
I'M SORRY,
I'M TEACHING HER.
JUST ENOUGH, HUH?
HA HA HA!
WELL, THIS IS REAL
FRONT-PAGE STUFF, HUH?
JOE KROZAC
FINALLY MARRIED.
A RESPECTABLE
FAMILY MAN.
Man: SOMEHOW IT MAKES YOU
SWEETER, JOE.
COULD I HAVE
A COUPLE SHOTS
OF MRS. KROZAC
ALONE, JOE?
OH, SURE. WHY NOT?
YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD.
SAY, YOU BOYS
AREN'T DRINKING.
AMBASSADOR, THERE'S AN EX-FELLOW
COUNTRYMAN OF YOURS ABOARD.
JOE KROZAC?
WE ARE NO PROUD OF HIM.
SOME PEOPLE THINK
THERE'S A LOT OF GLAMOUR
ABOUT A BIG SHO RACKETEER.
I DO NOT. I REGARD HIM
AS AN ENEMY OF THE PUBLIC,
A BLOT UPON
YOUR CIVILIZATION,
A MAN WHO MAKES
ORGANIZED CRIME AND MURDER A BUSINESS.
WELL, JOE,
HOW YOU BEEN?
HIYA, JOE.
WELL, CURLY.
SEE THEY FIXED
THESE CANOES--
HAVE A DRINK.
THAT-A BOY.
SURE GLAD TO SEE YOU.
SPEAKING AS
YOUR LAWYER, JOE,
DOES MRS. KROZAC
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THINGS?
NOPE. I'M KEEPING
MY PRIVATE LIFE PRIVATE.
WOULD IT MAKE
ANY DIFFERENCE TO HER IF SHE DID KNOW?
LISTEN, I WON'T HAVE
ANY TROUBLE WITH TALYA.
SHE'S HAND-PICKED
FROM MY OLD HOMETOWN.
I TOOK HER TO PARIS
AND PUT HER THROUGH EVERYTHING--
FACIAL MASSAGES,
MANICURES--
LACE PANTS,
ALL THE WORKS.
ALL SHE KNOWS
FROM NOW ON IS RAISING A FAMILY.
ANOTHER DAFFY GUY
YOU KNOW IS GETTING MARRIED, TOO.
YEAH? WHO'S THAT?
FRANKIE KILE.
WELL, I'LL HAVE TO SEND HIM
A WEDDING PRESENT.
HE TOOK HIS PRESEN IN ADVANCE TWO WEEKS AGO.
HE AND HIS 3 BROTHERS
MOVED HIM TO BROOKLYN.
YOU LET HIM.
LISTEN, THE LAS WORDS YOU SAID TO ME BEFORE YOU SAILED--
AND YOU SPOKE 'EM
INTO THIS EAR, NOT THIS ONE--
WAS DON'T DO NOTHIN'
UNTIL I GET BACK. REMEMBER?
OK--
AND YOU SAID AS HOW
NAPOLEON APPRECIATED ONE THING IN A SOLDIER.
OBEDIENCE!
I LIKE A GUY
THAT USES HIS HEAD,
THE GUY SMART ENOUGH
TO ACT IN AN EMERGENCY.
AND THE KILE BROTHERS
MOVING INTO BROOKLYN IS AN EMERGENCY,
BUT YOU WOULDN' KNOW IT, 'CAUSE YOUR BRAIN IS SET IN CEMENT.
YOU LET THE OTHER GUY
POKE HIS NOSE AROUND THE CORNER,
AND PRETTY SOON
HE'S ON YOUR FRONT LAWN.
PRETTY SOON, HE'S YOU.
I LEARNED THA WHEN I WAS 16 YEARS OLD.
THAT'S WHY WHEN ANY GUY
PUT UP HIS HEAD, I CUT IT DOWN.
THAT'S WHY I GO WAREHOUSES AND MEN AND TRUCKS
AND PRIVATE TELEPHONES
FROM COAST TO COAST.
THAT'S WHY I GO YOU GUYS WORKING FOR ME.
THE KILE BROTHERS
DIDN'T FORGET YOU.
HERE'S YOUR INVITATION
TO THE WEDDING.
OK.
I'LL GIVE HIM
A PRESENT...
AND IT WON'T BE BROOKLYN.
[MACHINE GUN FIRE]
Man: FRANK! FRANKIE!
IT'S KROZAC'S MOB.
[MACHINE GUN FIRE CONTINUES]
IT'S THE
KILE BROTHERS.
ARE THEY ALL DEAD?
3 OF THEM.
ACEY'S STILL ALIVE.
WELL...
NOT A BAD PICTURE
OF ME AND TALYA.
NOT A BAD PICTURE
OF THE KILE BROTHERS, EITHER.
YEAH, BUT THERE AIN' ENOUGH OF THEM IN IT.
WHERE'S MY WIFE?

OH, JUST ENOUGH.
PRETTY SOON, I'LL HAVE TO

I NOT SPEAK AT ALL,
BUT I TELL YOU.
HUH?

MR. GORMAN,
IT AIN'T NONE OF MY NEVERMIND,
BUT DON'T YOU

I'M SORRY, BOSS.
IT'S OK, FREDDY.
HELLO, MRS. KROZAC.
YOU ARE MRS. JOE KROZAC,
AREN'T YOU?
YES, AND I'M HERE
TO STOP ALL THIS.
WHO WRITES
ALL THE THINGS ABOUT MY JOE AND MY BABY?
COME OVER HERE,
MY DEAR.
THIS IS ALL LIES.
YOU LIE ABOU MY JOE ALL THE TIME,
ALL NEWSPAPER.
NOW YOU LIE
ABOUT HIS BABY.
MY LITTLE SON...
YOU PUT A BAD NAME ON HIM!
YOU MAKE EVERYBODY
TO HATE HIM!
SIT RIGHT HERE
AND CALM YOURSELF.
WE'LL HAVE THIS
ALL STRAIGHTENED OUT IN A MINUTE.
JUMP IN THE MORGUE
AND PULL OUT EVERYTHING ON MR. KROZAC--
ALL THOSE NICE PICTURES,
ESPECIALLY.
WE'RE GLAD YOU DROPPED
DOWN, MRS. KROZAC.
MAC...HOLD
THE FINAL 15 MINUTES. MORE ON KROZAC.
THE PICTURES WILL BE
UP RIGHT AWAY.
NOW, THIS IS
A LITTLE JOB HE DID
TO ONE OF THE DUFFY
BOYS IN CHICAGO.
THAT WAS BEFORE
HE WAS A BIG SHOT,
WHEN HE CARRIED
A GUN HIMSELF.
DID YOU KNOW HE WAS
PRETTY GOOD WITH A GUN, MRS. KROZAC?
JOE...SHOT PEOPLE?
NO.
YOU GET IT?
BLISSFUL,
HAPPY IGNORANCE OF EVERYTHING.
A JEKYLL-AND-HYDE
HUSBAND.
THE WORLD HATED
WHILE SHE LOVED.
NOW, THAT WAS WHEN
HE WAS IN A MORE EXPANSIVE MOOD,
WHEN HE REALLY
GOT GOING--
5 MEN ALL AT ONCE
WITH A MACHINE GUN
WHEN THEIR BACKS
WERE TURNED, MRS. KROZAC.
IT ISN' VERY PRETTY, IS IT?
COURSE, WE COULDN' PROVE IT IN COURT,
BUT EVERYBODY
IN THE COUNTRY KNEW THAT JOE DID IT.
YOU SEE, WE DON' WANT TO PRIN ANY LIES HERE,
MRS. KROZAC.
YOU BELIEVE IT NOW,
DON'T YOU?
REALIZATION CAME
LIKE A SUDDEN BLOW.
SHE SAW
THE FAIRY STORY
OF HER HUSBAND'S
POLITICAL CAREER WRITTEN IN BLOOD.
Talya: WHY?
WHY DO JOE...
SEARCH ME. MAYBE
IT WAS SO HE COULD BE NICE AND RICH
A MARRY A NICE GIRL
LIKE YOU SOMEDAY
AND GIVE HER THINGS
LIKE THAT, HUH?
MAYBE THAT WAS IT.
OR MAYBE IT WAS SO HIS SON, YOUR BABY,
COULD GROW UP
AND GO TO COLLEGE
AND HAVE A BIG CAR
AND A RACCOON COAT, HUH?
BUT MY BABY
DIDN'T DO ALL THIS.
IT'S NO RIGHT FOR HIM
TO KNOW ALL THIS.
THAT YOUNG FELLOW
AND HIS WIFE HAD BABIES--
TWO BABIES, I THINK.
BUT JOE HAD HIS BOYS
TAKE HIM FOR A RIDE
BECAUSE HE DIDN' AGREE WITH JOE.
PRETTY CLEVER,
HUH, MRS. KROZAC?
AND THAT WIFE
SHOT HERSELF
WHEN SHE SAW HIM
LYING IN THE MORGUE LIKE THAT.
NOW THOSE BABIES ARE
IN AN ORPHAN ASYLUM, I GUESS.
IT'S THE OLD ANGLE,
PAUL--SINS OF THE FATHER.
SINS OF THE FATHER
VISITED UPON HER CHILD.
YEAH, I GET IT.
YOU? YOU WRITE
ALL THESE THINGS ABOUT MY BABY?
OH...NO,
BUT YOU SAW HIM!
WAIT A MINUTE.
LET'S TALK SOME MORE, MRS. KROZAC.
PLEASE, DON' SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT MY BABY.
WHY, IT'S JUST NEWS,
MRS. KROZAC.
YOUR BABY
WILL BE FAMOUS FOR A LONG TIME.
EVERYBODY WILL WAN TO READ ABOUT HIM.
OH, NO! PLEASE...
I'M NO MAD
ANYMORE NOW, BUT...
PLEASE...
[CRYING]
NOW, NOW,
WAIT A MINUTE, MRS. KROZAC.
WELL, I GUESS
THAT'S EVERYTHING.
CRACK DOWN ON IT,
PAUL--THE WORKS.
I'LL RAP OU A NEW HEAD.
WELL,
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?
OH, IT'S LOVELY.
I DON'T KNOW,
I GUESS I'VE GONE NOBLE OR SOMETHING.
I CAN'T TAKE IT.
ARE YOU NUTS?
NO. I JUST CAUGH A FLASH OF YOU AND ME
AND WE'RE A COUPLE
OF PRETTY FILTHY- LOOKING GUYS.
THAT GIRL NEVER
KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS KROZAC STUFF.
SHE'S ON THE LEVEL.
GET BACK
ON THAT TYPEWRITER, YOU SILLY SLUG.
YOU HEARD ME TELL
MAC 15 MINUTES.
YOU BETTER GE ANOTHER BOY.
COME ON, YOU AND ME ARE
GETTING OUT OF HERE.
HEY, PAUL,
WAIT A MINUTE! SNAP OUT OF IT.
YOU'LL NO WRITE
ANYMORE ABOUT MY BABY?
NO, NO.
LISTEN, YOU CRAZY FOOL,
THAT'S A GREAT STORY!
SO WAS THE SLAUGHTER
OF THE INNOCENTS.
LONG WALK UP THIS HILL.
ARE YOU TIRED?
NO...BUT I MUS STOP CRYING.
TO CRY
WILL FIX NOTHING.
OH...
SOMETIMES IT DOES.
THE FATHER OF
MY CHILD, OUT THERE IN A CELL SOMEPLACE
BECAUSE HE DID
ALL THOSE THINGS.
WHEN JOE AND I
MARRIED,
I WAS IN LOVE,
AND I BELIEVED
EVERYTHING HE SAID.
THEN ALL THE
THINGS HAPPENED.
THEY COME AND
TAKE JOE, AND...
I HEAR
AND UNDERSTAND ALL THINGS.
TODAY,
I WATCH JOE'S FACE.
I WONDER.
ALL AT ONCE,
I GREW UP INSIDE,
AND ALL AT ONCE,
I FEEL...
OLD AND EMPTY.
OH, NOW,
JOE PROBABLY KEPT THOSE THINGS FROM YOU
TO MAKE YOU HAPPY,
YOU KNOW?
OH, NO. I THINK
HE KNEW I'LL BE SICK AND ASHAMED IF I KNEW.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO NOW?
I WAIT UNTIL I SEE JOE
NEXT TIME,
AND I TELL HIM THE NAMES
TO GIVE HIS BABY...
AND HE KNOWS
WHAT I HAVE TO DO, AND HE SAY YES.
HI.
SAY...DIDN'T YOU
BRING THE BABY?
WHERE'S THE KID?
NO, JOE.
I DIDN'T BRING HIM
THIS TIME.
BUT WHY NOT?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
ANYTHING WRONG?
HE AIN'T SICK,
IS HE?
NO, HE'S ALL RIGHT,
JOE.
WELL, WHAT'S
THE MATTER, THEN?
WHAT ARE YOU
STANDING THERE LIKE A DUMMY?
WHAT'S THIS
WHOLE THING ABOUT?
LOOK, JOE.
HUH. WELL, I GUESS
MAYBE THEY GOT SOME SENSE NOW.
I GUESS MAYBE
THEY KNOW
HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH
JOE KROZAC'S KID.
THAT'S FINE.
OH, JOE,
DO NOT LAUGH!
WHY NOT?
SOMEDAY, THAT KID,
HE'S GOING
TO LAUGH AT THAT PICTURE, TOO.
PUBLIC ENEMY JUNIOR,
HUH?
WELL,
HE'LL SHOW 'EM.
BUT YOU SEE THE GUN?
YOU MAKE MY BABY
A KILLER, TOO?
WHO HAVE YOU
BEEN TALKING TO?
YOU SHUT UP,
YOU HEAR?!
COME ON, NOW...
LET'S CUT OU ALL THIS DAFFY TALK, SEE?
BUT I MUST NOT BRING
BABY AGAIN, JOE.
YOU SEE,
IT IS THE ONLY THING TO DO NOW.
WHAT'S THAT?
OH, JOE...
I'M SORRY FOR YOU,
JOE, BUT...
YOU DIDN'T TELL ME
THE TRUTH.
AND NOW
OUR LITTLE BOY... MY LITTLE BOY...
ALL HIS LIFE,
HE WILL HAVE A BAD NAME.
HE'S GOT MY NAME.
WHAT'S BETTER THAN THAT? YOURS?
OH, JOE, I MUST NEVER
BRING HIM HERE AGAIN.
I KNOW. I MUST TAKE HIM
AWAY SOMEPLACE...
CHANGE HIS NAME,
CHANGE MY NAME...
SO THAT PEOPLE
NEVER FOLLOW HIM
AND POINT TO HIM AS
THE SON OF JOE KROZAC.
SAY, YOU FORGE YOU EVER SAID THAT!
SOMETIMES WHEN ALL
EXCITEMENT GOES DOWN
AND PEOPLE DON' THINK ANYMORE...
I COME BACK
TO SEE YOU, JOE.
YOU HEARD
WHAT I SAID!
SO YOU'RE RATTING
ON ME, TOO!
I COME BECAUSE
I'M SORRY FOR YOU, JOE.

[DOOR SLAMS]

TRY TO TAKE
MY KID AWAY.
WHERE DOES SHE
GET OFF TO PULL THAT KIND OF STUFF?
YEAH...
OH, NO.
HUMPH.
DON'T YOU WORRY
ABOUT ME CUTTING ANY WRISTS.
I GOT TOO MANY
THINGS TO DO WHEN I GET OUT.
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH NAPOLEON THIS MORNING?
OH, YES...

HI, GLORIA.
I'M SORRY,
MR. PAUL,

FOR HIS SUPPER.
HE GETS INTO
MORE THINGS...
I GUESS SHE COME

SEEM LIKE
THEY'RE WORKING HER
HARDER AND LONGER
EVERY WEEK.
MAYBE WE OUGHT TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT, HUH?
Boy: UNCY PAUL!
I GOT TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
OH, KICK THOSE AROUND
TILL THEY GET LARGE.
RUN! YIPPEE!
[LAUGHING]

OH, MY LITTLE
DARLING!
I WAS JUST PUTTING

A NICE WAY YOU'RE

COME, DOLL.
IT'S TIME FOR BED.
MAMA WILL PLAY WITH YOU
A LONG TIME TOMORROW.
COME, NOW. COME, NOW.
LET ME TUCK YOU IN.
WE'LL PLAY TOMORROW.
SAY GOOD NIGHT TO UNCLE PAUL.

THAT'S IT!
SHAKE HANDS ON THAT.
NOW, THAT'S A BOY.
HE AND I SORT OF

YOU, UH...
SORT OF TALK IT OVER WITH HIM, HUH?
WELL, DID YOU TALK I OVER WITH HIM, TALYA?
OH, PAUL, DARLING...
TALYA...
THERE'S A LAW
THAT WILL MAKE YOU
AUTOMATICALLY FREE...
THAT CAN BE DONE
ALL VERY QUIETLY,
AND THEN
NO ONE WILL KNOW,
JUST AS THEY
DON'T KNOW NOW.
LITTLE PAUL
WILL NEVER KNOW.
BUT...IT WOULDN' BE FAIR TO YOU.
NO MATTER HOW
WE TRY TO FORGET,
TRY TO HIDE...
ALL THAT'S BEEN
STILL IS, PAUL.
AND THERE'S
SOMETHING ELSE.
THAT BOY OUGHT TO
GROW UP WITH A MAN
AROUND THE HOUSE,
SHOULDN'T HE?
OH, DARLING,
YOU'VE DONE TOO MUCH ALREADY.
THIS IS ALL
I EVER WANTED TO DO.
EVERYTHING ELSE HAS
JUST BEEN LEADING UP TO THIS, I GUESS.
NOW I FEEL AS THOUGH
MY HEART'S GOING TO STOP BEATING
FOR 10 SECONDS
WHILE I...WHILE I WAIT TO HEAR
WHETHER OR NO I CAN KEEP ON DOING THIS FOREVER.
I THINK YOUR HEART IS
TOO BIG TO EVER STOP.
OH, NOW, CUT IT OUT.
YOU PUT THE PAPER TO BED.
THAT BOY OF MINE
WILL SCALP ME IF I'M 5 MINUTES LATE TODAY.
ALL RIGHT, PAUL,
BUT I WANT TO SEE
IF THIS IS YOUR IDEA
OF THE STRIKE STORY SETUP.
YEAH. OH, VERY NICE.
LOOKS VERY NICE.
THANKS. THANKS.
IT'S A MUCH BETTER
LEAD THAN--
THAN WHAT?
WHAT?
HMM? I SAID IT'S
A MUCH BETTER LEAD THAN WE HAD BEFORE.
WELL, I'LL BE BACK
SOMETIME MONDAY.
HAVE A SWELL WEEKEND,
AND GIVE MY BEST TO PAUL, JR.
BOY, I ENVY YOU

I'M GONNA SELL HIM
TO THE BUSH LEAGUE.
ATTA BOY, RAGS.

[GROWLING]

HERE'S YOUR
CAMPING BLANKET, ROLLED UP LIKE YOU.
LAND SAKES, CHILD!
HAS YOU GO THAT HOOK IN THAT DOG'S MOUTH?
OF COURSE NOT, GLORIA.
DON'T BE DOPEY.
RAGS IS JUST HELPING ME
PRACTICE A LITTLE.
[RAGS BARKING]
I'M SORRY, GLORIA.
GET AWAY! GO!
YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
BETTER THAN TO STAND
IN BACK OF A FELLA
WHO'S PRACTICING, ANYWAY.
YEAH. YEAH, YOU JUS PRACTICING TO FALL

THAT'S WHAT YOU IS.
[HONKS HORN]
HI, DADS!

HEY, NO KIDDING.
THEY'LL BE HERE ANY MINUTE.
YOU GET YOUR MOTHER
TO LAY OUT MY STUFF?
SURE, AND I'VE GO EVERYTHING PACKED.
I'VE GOT SOME
NUMBER-4 HOOKS AND SOME NEW LINE.
THAT WON'T DO ANY GOOD.
I'M GOING TO CATCH ALL THE FISH, YOU KNOW.
OH, YES?
WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.
WELL, IF IT ISN'T THA HOMELY WOMAN I MARRIED.
HERE. I BOUGHT THIS
FOR A BLONDE.
I GUESS YOU'LL

OH, DARLING!
HEY, DADS, DON'T DO

I'VE JUST ABOU GOT TIME TO GREASE THIS LINE.
HEY, YOU!

THE BUS LEAVES IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES.
OH, DARLING,

HMM? PAPER? OH,
I'M SORRY, DARLING.

IN THE PAPER, WASN'T THERE?
MM-HMM.
YES, HE'S GETTING
OUT NEXT MONTH.
NOW, DARLING,
WE SWORE THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED,
WE WOULDN'T GIVE I A THOUGHT.
HE'S JUST AS FAR
REMOVED FROM YOU AND PAUL NOW
AS HE WAS BEFORE.
DARLING,
YOU'RE HIDDEN.
YOU'RE HIDDEN BY
10 YEARS OF ME AND THIS HOUSE.
THE WHOLE WORLD'S
FORGOTTEN.
AND NOBODY
AND NOTHING
IS EVER GOING TO
CHANGE THAT.
I KNOW.
I'M SILLY, DARLING,
BUT JUST FOR A MOMENT,
THE LOOK ON HIS FACE
AND HOW HE THREATENED...
CAME BACK SO CLEARLY AGAIN.
I'M ALL RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE ALL RIGH ALL THE TIME.
[KIDS SHOUTING]
HAVE A GOOD TIME,
YOU TWO.
3 WONDERFUL DAYS.
GOOD-BYE, DEAR.
COME ON, DADS!
PLEASE HURRY!
COME ON BACK HERE!
HAS YOUR MOTHER GO THE MEASLES OR SOMETHING?
GOOD-BYE, DEAR.
GOOD-BYE, MOTHER.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT DADS.

CURLY AIN' FORGETTING YOU.
SIT DOWN

HAVE A CIGARETTE.
BOSS?
IT'S LEGAL NOW, JOE,
BUT THERE AIN'T MUCH DOING IT.
HALF THE STUFF AIN' AS GOOD AS WHAT WE USED TO PUT OUT,
BUT IT WARMS YOU
INTERNALLY.
IT DON'T GO DOWN
SO EASY AFTER A LONG TIME OFF OF IT,
DOES IT, MR. KROZAC?
I GUESS FRISCO
AIN'T SUCH A TANK TOWN AFTER ALL.
HUH, JOE?
WE'RE KIND OF

HUH?
WHERE'S THAT DAME?
WHERE'S THAT DAME

OH, YOUR WIFE,

I THOUGHT YOU KNEW

SHE MARRIED
ANOTHER GUY.
YEAH, I KNOW,
I KNOW.
WHERE ARE THEY?
WHERE ARE THEY HANGING OUT?
I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE GUY'S NAME IS.
LAST I HEARD OF HER,
RED SAID HE SPOTTED
HER IN A STORE UP IN BOSTON.
WELL, THEN, WE'RE GONNA
FIND THAT DAME, SEE?
AND I'M GOING TO
PAY HER OFF,
ALONG WITH THAT SUCKER
THAT SHE HOOKED UP WITH--
PAY HER OFF
GOOD AND PLENTY.
THEN I'M GOING TO

YEAH?
FOR 10 YEARS I WAITED
TO CATCH UP WITH HER.
10 YEARS!
JOE, BUT WHA ABOUT US?
WE'VE BEEN
WAITING FOR YOU JUST AS LONG.
YOU CAN'T GO BACK
ON THE BOYS.
I AIN'T GOIN'
BACK ON THEM, BUT FIRST I GOT--
LISTEN, JOE,
WE'VE MISSED YOU.
WE'VE MISSED YOU
LIKE WE'VE MISSED A HEAD AND TWO LEGS.
THERE'S ONLY ONE
JOE KROZAC.
10 YEARS CAN' FIX THAT DIFFERENT.
HUH...
KIND OF MISSED ME, HUH?
RIGHT UP AND DOWN

I GOT A PLANE
STAKED OUT.
WE'LL BE IN NEW YORK

THEN WE CAN ALL
HELP YOU SPOT THAT DAME.
AND THEN ONE NIGHT,
YOU'LL WALK IN THERE,
PAY HER OFF,
AND TAKE THE KID.
YEAH.
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.
SO, UH, ALL THE BOYS
ARE WAITING FOR ME, HUH?
FOR NOBODY ELSE,
JOE.
AND THIS IS
BILLY ERNST,

AND INCIDENTALLY
PLAYS A SWELL GAME OF SNOOKER.
BUT HE'S THINKING OF
OTHER THINGS NOW, HUH, BILLY?

AND THIS IS
BOTTLES BAILEY.
YOU KNEW
HIS OLD MAN, STINKY BAILEY.
OH, YEAH.
ROLLAND GOT TO HIM,

I CAN ALWAYS USE
YOUR KIND.
THANKS.
WELL, YOU ME THEM ALL, BOSS.
NOW MAYBE WE

WELL, BOYS...
I GUESS WE CAN

JUST SO LONG AS
YOU'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER
WHO'S BOSS
IN THIS ORGANIZATION.
LIMPY HERE AND CURLY

THEY'LL TELL YOU JUST HOW TO RUN
AN ORGANIZATION, EH, BOYS?
SO JUST YOU REMEMBER WHO'S BOSS,
AND I'LL DO THE REST.
UNDERSTAND?
YOU'RE FULL OF WIND

WHAT?
WHY DON'T WE

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE

IS HE ON THE LEVEL?
MAYBE BOTTLES IS
A LITTLE QUICK, JOE,
BUT THAT'S THE WAY
WE MOVE NOW, DIRECT.
LIKE I TOLD YOU,
THERE'S A LOT OF NEW ANGLES.
THINGS MOVE FASTER,
10 YEARS FASTER.
EVERYTHING'S
STREAMLINED,
YOU KNOW WHA I MEAN?
WE GET TO THE POIN QUICKER. GETTING?
WHAT IS THIS?
YOU GUYS GIVING ME
THE BUSINESS?
ALL WE WANT TO KNOW,

WHO DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE TALKING TO, YOU CHEAP PHONY?
I'M TALKING TO YOU,

OK. PICK HIM UP.

CURLY OUGH TO KNOW, TOO.

YOU'RE NOT MINE, SEE?
THEY JUST THINK
YOU ARE, SEE?
SO NO MATTER WHA THEY DO TO YOU, YOU CAN TAKE IT.
I KNOW THAT YOU CAN.

I DON'T KNOW WHA YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!
LET ME GO HOME

HE'LL SHOW I TO HIM!
EVERYTHING WE'VE
BEEN TRYING TO HIDE!
NOW, DARLING, WASHINGTON
HAS KNOWN ALL ALONG ABOUT YOU AND PAUL.
THEY'VE HAD TO.
IT'S THEIR BUSINESS.
BUT I SWEAR TO YOU,
THEY'LL KEEP THIS THING ABSOLUTELY QUIET.
WHEN I GIVE THEM THE WORD,
IT WILL BREAK IN EVERY NEWSPAPER IN THE COUNTRY.
I KNOW IT WILL BE
HARD FOR HIM TO KNOW,
BUT I THINK THAT BOY
HAS ENOUGH SPIRIT TO OUTLIVE ANYTHING.
SPIN AROUND, SONNY.
THAT'S THE OL' KID.
GETTING HOT,
PAULSY WALSIE?
HOW ABOUT A NICE,
COOL DRINK OF ICE WATER?

OH, NO. YOU SEE,

YEAH?
AND, WELL, LINCOLN
WAS A GREAT MAN.
OH, SURE.
LINCOLN WAS OK.
BUT IF THEY'D HAVE PU NAPOLEON ON THERE,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
A REAL FIRST-CLASS MEDAL.
[LAUGHS]
NAPOLEON?

THAT'S WHA BEAT HIM DOWN.
OH. SO NOW HE'S GOING TO

AND I SHOWED HIM HOW.
THEY WAY YOU SHOWED ME.
DIDN'T I, JOE?
LET'S GET THIS
COAT OFF.
YOU TWO MUS HAVE HAD SOME EXPERIENCE, HUH?
YES.
HERE ARE YOUR
PAJAMAS, DARLING.
THE ONES YOU LIKE...
HOW ABOU A BIG GLASS OF HOT MILK?
HUH? OH, NO.
I'M...TOO SLEEPY,
I GUESS.
YOU ASK JOE.
JOE IS PROBABLY
HUNGRY, THOUGH.
JOE, YOU TALK WITH
MOTHER AND DADS.
THEY CAN HELP ANYBODY.
YOU SEE, MOTHER AND DADS,
JOE ISN'T VERY WELL.
SOMETIMES HE DOESN' REALIZE WHAT HE'S SAYING.
BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT, JOE.
YOU CAN TALK
WITH MOTHER AND DADS.
THEY'RE WONDERFUL.
YOU'VE PROBABLY NEVER
HAD ANYONE LIKE THEM,
BECAUSE YOU WOULDN' HAVE HAD ALL THE TROUBLE YOU'VE HAD.
EVERY NOW AND THEN,
JOE THINKS HE HAS
A SON LIKE ME.
HE EVEN CALLS ME JOEY.
IT WAS FUNNY.
I WASN'T AFRAID OF HIM,
BUT...HE'S A GOOD SCOUT.
HE'S OK.
GOOD NIGHT.
CAN I GET YOU
SOMETHING TO EAT, JOE?
HUH?
THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING HIM BACK.
WITH ALL MY HEART,
I THANK YOU.
YOU ARE PROUD OF HIM,
AREN'T YOU?
HE IS THE KIND
OF A BOY
YOU REALLY HOPED
FOR, ISN'T HE?
ISN'T HE, JOE?
I DON'T KNOW.
I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.
HE AIN'T THE KIND OF KID
I'D PUT MY MONEY ON,
EXACTLY.
YOU GOT HIM CONNED INTO
ONE WAY OF THINKING, SO WHAT THE HECK?
LET HIM STAY THAT WAY,
FOR ALL I GIVE A DARN.
HE DIDN'T SWALLOW
WHAT I TOLD HIM, ANYWAY.
YOU CAN JUST TELL HIM
I WAS NUTS, YOU KNOW.
STIR-CRAZY.
ME? I LIKE A KID
WITH SOME...
WITH SOME GET-UP-AND-GO
TO HIM!
I LIKE A KID THA KNOWS ALL THE ANSWERS,
ALL THE ANGLES!
WHY, I LIKE A KID THAT...
H-HOW DO YOU
GET OUT OF HERE?
GOOD LUCK, JOE.
[THUNDER]
HELLO, JOE.
I SAW YOU DELIVERING
YOUR BOY.
AREN'T YOU STAYING
TO TAKE HIM OVER NOW?
YOU'RE RUNNING OU ON HIM, EH?
GETTING BIG-HEARTED.
THAT TOUCHES ME, JOE.
I'M GOING TO HELP YOU.
START WALKING
INTO THE ALLEY.
WELL, YOU'VE HAD
A NICE, LONG TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT,
AND NOW IT'S HERE, JOE.
MOVE ON.
NOW JUST STAND THERE
A MINUTE
AND I'LL GIVE YOU
SOMETHING ELSE TO THINK ABOUT.
SO YOU'RE KIND
OF BASHFUL ABOUT LETTING PEOPLE KNOW
HE'S YOUR BOY,
ARE YOU?
WELL, I'LL DO I FOR YOU, JOE.
AFTER I PUMP YOU
FULL OF THIS,
I'M GOING TO DROP
A LITTLE NOTE
TO EVERY NEWSPAPER
IN TOWN.
GOING TO TELL THEM
ABOUT YOUR BOY.
GOING TO TELL THEM
WHAT YOU DON'T SEEM SO PROUD OF ANYMORE.
THAT HE'S
JOE KROZAC'S SON.
ALL HIS LITTLE PALS
ARE GOING TO KNOW IT FROM NOW ON, JOE.
NO, YOU WON'T.
STAY THERE, JOE,
I HAVEN'T FINISHED.
[GUNSHOT]
THEY'LL ALL KNOW IT,
JOE--EVERYBODY.
JOE KROZAC, JR.!
JOE KROZAC...
