that no one calls me that.

- Very nice meeting you, Jack.

- The f***ing guy's crazy.

- Should I shoot him in the back?

- Lansky and Luciano would flip.

Play along.

Sooner or later he'll blow his lid.

When we get him,

nobody will give a f***.

- Hello?

- Virginia, it's Ben...

Meyer, I know we said 12 days.

Things got a little complicated.

Was that good?

You're from "The Herald", right?

See that they run that, and not one

of those sinister mugshots.

- I'll try my best.

- I'd really appreciate it.

- May I have the next dance?

- Charmed. Have you met Mr. Siegel?

- I've been admiring his movements.

- My husband. Count Di Frasso.

I'm surrounded by titles.

How can I pick one up?

Darling, get him a title.

Make him a duke.

Why not?

- Are you ready to come to Italy?

- Italy! I'll get my parachute.

That's wonderful.

You know who one of the count's

best friends is?

Mussolini.

No... That clown knows Mussolini?

Do they play golf together?

Tell jokes about the gas chambers?

- I stay out of politics.

- Politics? This is war.

He's Hitler's partner, and this

effete count pals around with him?

Don't get worked up over something

you can't do anything about.

This is Hollywood.

Telephone call from Mr. Dragna.

I've placed a phone at your table.

Have you met our number-one

crime fighter James McWilde?

- He's up for re-election as D.A.

- I wish I could contribute.

You can contact Donald Mitchell.

He handles all the money.

Have him call me in the morning.

If you'll excuse me, I see about

six women that need to talk to me.

Mr. McWilde, as a man of the world,

what do you make -

- of all these friends of Mussolini

flitting around America?

Are you talking about spies?

Come Jim, the senator

would like a word with you.

- Keep me posted on that.

- I will, we've got to do something.

See the redhead?

Put it in her hand.

What is it?

I'll see you.

- How do you know it was Cohen?

- He had a mask on, but the voice.

He robbed five guys of $56,000

and got away scot-free?

- He took us by surprise.

- It certainly seems like it.

- He'll be dead within 24 hours.

- No, I want to talk to him.

- You say 56,000?

- The exact figure was 56,143.

Hello...

Hi, honey.

Maybe you should stop thinking about

when I'm coming back to Scarsdale.

Start thinking about when you

and the girls will come out here.

As soon as possible.

But is this is the right time

to take the kids out of school?

Maybe we should play it by ear

and see what happens.

We don't have

to settle everything now.

All right, we'll see each other

before you know it.

Right? I love you too, Esta.

Goodnight.

Ronald, turn off the projector!

Ronald? Where are you?
