get this Boy Scout off me, will you?

Come on, let's blow, Lefty.

- Are you hurt badly?

- No.

We'd better get the police and tell them

what happened.

- What happened?

- Two men were slugging you.

- I didn't see anybody slugging anybody.

- You didn't see...?

- Thanks anyway, son.

- But I just saw... There were...

- Look, I go this way...

- Come on, son.

There's a fellow named McKissack.

I gotta...

This is as far as I go. Come in.

I'd like to show my appreciation.

I'm awfully late.

If everything's all right, I'd like to...

Wait a minute, I'll see.

- How's it look, Max?

- All clear, boss.

There ain't a cop between here

and Santa Anita.

- Come in, son.

- What?

Come in, I'll make it right with you.

- Honestly, you don't owe me anything.

- Boss, what happened to you?

Three guesses. Step in, son.

I think I'd better run along.

I don't wear shirts anyway.

I said, step in. Didn't I, Frankie boy?

Yeah.

A late scratch at the fairgrounds.

Ballerina's Baby.

What happened to your kisser?

Who hit you, boss?

A couple of Chick Sloane's boys

tried to rough me up.

Think they can scare me out

before Santa Anita opens.

I'm gonna bust that two-bit syndicate

of his wide open.

I've got three sharp nags running today.

We're gonna ride them and ride them hard.

What if Chick gets wise?

He won't. I run classes for boys like him.

We'll bet everything we've got

in his horse rooms.

Not a dime in California

so we don't tip our mitt.

Chicago, Cleveland,

New Orleans, New York.

Get a line and keep it open.

Sit down, son.

Look, I work in a bank

and they'll wonder where I am.

Great. Keep them guessing.

Show them you're independent.

Joe, get over here in a hurry.

Yeah, Chick Sloane. I'll teach that rat

how to go broke in one easy lesson.

I wanna do something for you, kid.

Just name it.

Uh... Could you get me a telephone?

- I've had my order in for a year and a half.

- Sure.

Call me later, honey.

- Well, then, thanks very much.

- Wait a minute. That ain't enough.

Well, what's that?

- What does it look like, a blotter?

It's a thousand bucks for you.

Gee whiz.

- What are you drinking?

- A thousand-dollar bill.

I can't. You don't owe me

anything like that.

I owe you plenty.

Chick Sloane's goons would've had me

in a hospital if you hadn't come along.

I always pay off, kid.

What's the matter?

Don't you like money?

- Well, sure.

Can't think of a way to spend it?

Slip it under your pillow tonight.

You'll dream of something.

Oh, a thousand-dollar bill.

- I just remembered something.

What's that?

I don't drink.

And I don't want anything

to do with anything like this.

I gotta...

Hold it.

Listen to me, son.
