in this state, Willy...

and they'll be staying with you for a while.

I'll take the tab for their board and room.

Not with me you don't, Otto. I'm not running

any nursery up here for adult delinquents.

- Sit down, Willy.

- Otto said, "Sit down."

Now, please. We've been in the fight game

a long time together.

You're a sociable fellow.

You like beer and conversation.

Yeah.

Your camp is also a nice place

for people to come calling.

Cops, lawyers, district attorneys.

You like to pick up a dollar,

and you like to talk.

That's an awkward combination.

Went all through that in Washington.

The investigation's over.

Investigations are like the Greyhound bus.

There's always another one coming along.

New York is next,

and that'll be the one that counts.

Grand jury in September.

I can't help that and I'll tell you...

Something else you can't help, Willy:

You're the only one who was in that

steam room with Rocky Virgil.

That's what everybody knows

and what they won't forget.

I don't know who came into that room

and worked over Rocky.

The steam was as thick as split-pea soup.

I couldn't see and I didn't hear.

The only voice I heard was Rocky's voice.

And he was yelling like a stuck pig.

I spelled that out for the committee,

didn't I? As plain as my own name?

Yes, you were beautiful.

That's why Marvin and Ralphie are going

to be with you from now until September.

Just to make sure

you don't change your mind.

Look, Otto...

Otto, I don't want these torpedoes

hanging around my place.

Do I make myself clear?

Well, let me put it this way, Willy.

Rocky Virgil used to talk a lot like you.

Joie, come here.

Here, put this on.

Now listen, Joie,

I want you to take it nice and easy in there.

It's not like we're trying to win

the Olympics from the Russians every time.

You make me laugh. You're always worried.

What you worried about?

How do you want me to work him?

Easy. Keep sticking him. Easy. That's all.

This sort of thing a kid like you

shouldn't do, unless you've got two heads.

Which I ain't sure you ain't got.

Hello, peaches.

You know, you're a real lucky girl.

You're gonna find me available

for the whole season at no extra charge.

I wouldn't have called you at the store,

Rose, honey, unless it was an emergency.

It's hard to talk like this

with customers waiting, Willy.

Less than a month ago I sent you...

What'd you say?

I said, I like to keep a thing like this

in the family...

because, well,

blood is thicker than chowder.

That's what Pop used to say, remember?

Willy, please. This is a bad time for me.

I told you, I've got customers waiting.

All right, then, just put it in an envelope,
