I'm No Angel Page #4

when I call the cops.

You can't shake this guy down.

Here I am about to promote him

for dough, you come in to spoil it.

Don't give me that.

I get it. You all don't have to talk it over.

I reckon I'm leaving right now.

No, you ain't.

There's a business matter to settle first.

I won't give you a nickel.

You picked the wrong one.

I got connections in this town.

I'll see that you get

what's coming to you.

Now wait a minute.

I've laid out bigger chumps

than you, you mug.

- Now try and get out of this.

- You're in it with me.

As fast as you pick them up, I'll drop them.

Yeah? He ain't doing so good.

You better look him over.

- I think he's croaked.

- Ain't that nice.

I told you them barroom tricks of yours

will get us in trouble.

Come on, we gotta lam.

What? Leave him here in my place

for the cops to find?

I ain't taking any rap

for something you've done.

You like me to get sent up,

so you can have a free hand with the boys.

What a good time you'd have.

Listen, you may be tired of me,

but I ain't tired of you.

There ain't no time for that now.

Get him out of here.

Where am I gonna put a stiff in this joint?

Put him out in the hall.

They can't tell who did it then.

Hey, lay off.

Ain't you got no respect for the dead?

Come on, let's blow.

Is he dead?

He's coming around.

Got a crack on his head.

Wonder how.

Did you people hear any noise?

Sure, I heard a phonograph playing.

That's it. Take it easy, partner.

Got any idea who did this?

It's one of them circus fellows.

- Pick him out?

- Sure I can pick him.

- Say, I've been robbed!

- Are you sure?

I had a diamond that big

in a ring on my finger.

We'll get some of the boys to pick him up

if he ain't left town.

- Can you make the grade?

- Sure.

Right this way.

That's him.

Through the tent.

Move, boys.

That's him.

That's him, men, hurry up.

There he goes. Don't let him get away.

Catch him, men.

You're not going to pull that on me.

Help!

None of that. Don't start no riot.

- That's him.

- Go ahead, frisk him.

Come on.

That's it.

You sure?

I can prove it.

Take him along.

- But it's mine.

- It's evidence, give it here. Come on.

- Our phone working?

- Yeah.

Thanks.

- Hello. Give me long distance.

- Long distance?

- Ain't you never heard of it?

- Anything wrong?

Cops picked up Slick for knocking over

a guy and lifting his diamond ring.

He pulled that job here?

Don't worry.

You're safe. It's me that they...

Hello. Long distance?

I want to talk to Benny Pinkowitz.

New York City. I don't know. He lives

around 88th Street and Riverside Drive.

Pinkowitz.

Pinkowitz, I said.

All right, I'll spell it for you.

"P" like in pansy.
