- That's why he didn't show tonight.

- He'll be here. Just because...

I know all about that stuff. I'm gonna

give him 10 minutes more. Then we' II see.

Now, listen, Sam, Joe' s all right.

He' s the best front man in the world.

Why, he can go to a swell hotel

and order a suite, a suite, and it' s all right.

Without Joe, we can't pull the job,

and you know it.

What' s that paper?

It' s this layout I've been

figuring out with Scabby.

- What, this nightclu b job?

- Yeah.

Well, let me see it.

And until I say different...

...nobody' s gonna plan

for this mob but me.

You get me?

He' II learn.

Now, come here, you guys.

Now, get this.

Hello, Joe.

Hello, Rico.

Come here.

I told you to be here at 8:30.

Oh, well, you see, l...

I was busy.

I was rehearsing, and...

- Oh, you know how it is.

- Yeah, I know how it is.

They' ve been saying it,

only I didn't believe them.

They're crazy when they call you yellow.

T ell them they can go to...

Say, what's the big idea

of the rush anyway?

It's a little job we need you for.

A little job at the Bronze Peacock.

What do you mean?

Are you trying to kid me or something?

How can I take the chance?

They' re all my friends, they all know me.

That's why, they' II never suspect you.

Now, don't stall, Joe.

I ain't stalling.

You gotta get me out of this, Rico.

You gotta. I don't want to...

Well, don't you see,

I'm working steady now, and...

- Can't a guy ever say he's through?

- You're gonna be in on this, and you'll like it.

The time is to be sharp midnight

on New Y ear' s Eve.

I won't. I can't.

I can't, don't you see? L...

Well, gee, l...

- I'll be working New Year' s Eve.

- Now, listen, Joe.

This is the joint where you're working.

And don't you be forgetting it, either.

Come on in.

Well, maybe it ain't so hot.

- Maybe we can't buck Little Arnie.

- I can.

You're too good, that's what.

Hello, Joe. You were in a big hurry

about getting here, weren't you?

- Maybe this kind of work ain't to your li king.

- Joe's all right. He's in with us.

Yeah, I'm in with you.

Well, let' s see, now.

Here' s the way I dope this thing out.

I, Sam Vettori, not you, Rico,

or nobody else.

- That' s plain, ain't it?

- Sure.

Only, who stands here?

You kind of forgot that, didn't you?

Hey, I'm boss on this job, not you.

Right here.

Smart guy, Rico.

He' s got plenty of brains.

I tell you, I'm afraid, Otero.

I'm afraid.

You're crazy. Rico's coming with us.

Come on now, buck up.

And you, Joe.

You'll be in the lobby

and give us the high sign...

...if everything's on the up and up.

You get me?

Yeah, and if we get in a jam, you'll have to

take a chance with the rest of us.
