- Ouch!

You're the one that's hurt.

All right, I'll come in.

Let's see your hand.

You'll have to get up earlier

than most bootleggers to fool me.

- Huh? How do you get that way?

- We get many like you in here.

- Oh, give us the iodine, will you?

- I'll fix it.

Say, I could do it myself

if you'd just give me the...

I guess I better sit down.

- Hey, what's the idea?

- It's the arm, isn't it?

Oh, all right.

This one here.

Thanks.

Say, that's silk.

That's how I know

you're a bootlegger.

You win.

That looks like a bullet wound.

Well, it's a cinch it

ain't a vaccination mark.

I'll have to make a

police report of this.

Yeah? Why?

It has to be done on all bullet-wound cases.

- Oh, say, that ain't necessary.

- I have to.

Oh, listen, sister,

what's the difference to you?

I could get into

trouble if I didn't.

Listen, just give me some bandages

and forget you ever saw me.

How did it happen?

Well, a guy was cleaning

a gun and it went off.

Oh, nonsense.

Well, that's my story, and a couple of cops

with rubber hoses can't make me change it.

Oh.

Where was this man

cleaning the gun?

In a limousine.

It hit a bump and the gun went off.

Why did they wanna get you?

Oh, because I won't buy their bum alcohol.

I don't poison people.

Why don't you tell who these

men are and have them arrested?

For the same reason you don't squeal about

half the raw work you see down here.

What do you mean?

Well, do you?

Why, we have professional ethics.

Yeah? That goes for my line too.

The things my profession keep quiet about,

we believe it's for the public's own good.

Yeah? Ditto.

Well, it's gone clear through.

You've lost a lot of blood.

What's up?

Say, that's a bullet wound.

Hey, nobody sent for you.

Go rustle your hot-water bottles.

This is no hot-water bottle.

- Did you get this bird's name and address?

- I don't think that's necessary.

Don't you know that you're supposed

to report all bullet wounds?

You didn't see any bullet wound.

I didn't?

Say, what's the idea?

Friend of yours?

Thanks, pal.

He'd have to be hot before

I'd take a chance like that.

- You said something, sister.

- Hold quiet, will you?

Okay.

Hey, are you really

taking a chance?

I'll say she is. All a nurse needs to do

is to get into one jam and she's through.

- Yeah?

- Oh, don't talk so much.

You might as well turn

in your uniform and quit.

Maybe 56 bucks a week isn't much,

but it's 56 bucks.

Hey, is that all they pay you?

Better than selling apples.

That's probably what she'll be

doing if she loses her diploma.

Shh!

There you are. It's a nasty cut,

but it'll be all right now.

- Dump this.

- Thanks, sister.

My pal.

What's his trouble?
