Man in the Dark Page #3

Clinic for some undisclosed treatment,

Rawley made his escape today after a

running gun battle through the city.

Rawley- or Blake,

as he now calls himself-

was serving a 10-year term

for armed robbery.

A general alarm has been

broadcast, roadblocks set up.

And police warn that he

is probably armed...

and in the company

of three unidentified men.

Officers have been cautioned

that this man is dangerous.

They're crazy.

Also dangerous is the fire that swept through a

furniture warehouse at - [ Radio Clicks Off ]

You see, Steve?

You're a very popular guy.

Everybody's trying to get you

for a personal appearance.

Seems we were all having

a little talk, weren't we?

I've done all the talking

I'm gonna do for now.

Don't make me dot the i's.

No, Lefty!

Let me try.

Okay, try it your way.

Make him a man.

Come on, Steve.

Go on, Steve.

Get a little memory exercise.

Steve, you were great.

What do you mean? You're

running them ragged.

They're making lots of threats, but, take

it from me, they don't know what time it is.

Well, thanks for stepping in

when you did.

He wasn't kidding

with that cigar.

He really meant to use me

for an ashtray.

Oh, Steve, you don't know

what it's been like with Lefty.

First cursing about you, then

chasing me around the furniture.

He didn't catch me though.

I guess, for that,

he'd need a Cadillac, huh?

You don't really believe that?

[ Sighs ]

I don't know what I believe.

This hasn't been the happiest

day of my life exactly.

Day isn't over yet.

What'd they feed you at the hospital,

jellied consomm?

What do you want me to do...

turn somersaults?

Where are we?

[ Laughing ]

Oh, Steve, stop it.

Look, there isn't very much time.

You tell me where to find it.

In the meanwhile, you keep stalling

them with that wonderful act of yours.

And I'll go out and buy the

tickets for anywhere that you say,

come back here,

and we'll break away.

I got everything here.

I brought all your clothes over.

For the 10th time, listen. If you

want, I'll make a record of it. I...

They'll break in any second.

Where did you hide the money?

What money?

You really think I'm lying,

don't you?

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

He's all yours.

Get away

from that window, Steve.

[ Arnie ] This calls for a $50 raise.

I'll sail forth.

I'm out.

What, no re-raise?

I don't want to be greedy.

Besides, we're only

playing for markers.

If I win too much,

I may never see that dough.

With me, a gambling debt

is a debt of honor.

[ Cookie ] For me, an

I.O.U. is a piece of paper.

If you've got one and a dime,

you can ride the streetcar.

[ Cookie ]

Two.

[ Arnie ] Two, huh? Mm-hmm.

I will check.
