Public Enemies Page #2
Congratulations
for Pretty Boy Floyd,
for which you have
my personal gratitude.
Second, you are, as of this moment,
Are you up to that task, Agent Purvis?
Absolutely, sir.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Today, I am declaring the United
States of America's first War on Crime.
And I'd like to introduce one of our
finest G-men, Agent Melvin Purvis.
Agent Purvis will be in charge
of the field office in Chicago,
the center of the crime
wave sweeping America.
His task will be to get Public
Enemy Number 1, John Dillinger.
Director?
Mr. Purvis?
Say a few words, would you?
Mr. Purvis, how did you
run down Pretty Boy Floyd?
Through an apple orchard.
Mr. Tolson, when he's done, you
tell him if he needs anything,
you'll get it for him.
And tell him he may call me J. E.
Yeah, but people say John Dillinger's
a lot smarter and a lot tougher.
Well, nevertheless,
we will get him.
What makes you so sure?
We have two things
Dillinger does not.
What are they?
The Bureau's modern techniques
of fighting crime scientifically
and the visionary leadership
of our Director, J. Edgar Hoover.
The broad over there is looking at me.
She likes me.
How you doing, sweetheart?
Alvin. Good to see you.
How you doing?
Homer. Pete.
Me, Freddy and Doc are
looking to snatch a fellow.
He's a Saint Paul banker, Ed
Bremer. We need a few more hands.
I don't like kidnapping.
Well, robbing banks is getting tougher.
The public don't like kidnapping.
Who gives a damn
what the public likes?
I do. I hide out among them.
We gotta care what they think.
We also got a mail train
we're looking at, too.
By the way, if somebody was to get
pinched, who knows their way around?
Syndicate lawyer named Piquett,
Louis Piquett. We all use him.
What's it all about, this train?
Needs two or three more real
right guys to stick it up.
Be ready in a couple of months.
About $1,700,000. It's a
Federal Reserve shipment.
It's the kind of score
you go away on after.
Where you gonna go?
I don't know. Brazil,
Cuba. I like Varadero Beach.
What about you?
No plans.
Yeah, well, you ought to.
What we're doing
won't last forever.
We're having too
good a time today.
We ain't thinking
about tomorrow.
Keep me in mind on the train,
would you? All right. Thanks.
You know how much they made
taking that Hamm Brewery guy?
$100,000. Simmer down, Homer.
Come on, fellas.
Let's go to the bar.
I got three broads
convinced I own the place.
See you.
Is Homer staying
steady enough?
Homer's fine.
One rule I learned
from Walter Dietrich,
never work with people
who are desperate.
Yeah, well, I got a rule,
