...and saw this little child crying...
Do you know that this little child once
attempted to burn down a police station?
It's against my better judgment,
but I'm gonna give him another chance.
I'm going to remand him to the custody
of his parents and the probation officers.
his probation reports are a disgrace.
- True, Your Honor, but I thought...
- Are the parents in court?
Yes, Your Honor, the mother is here.
- Where's the father?
- He refused to come.
Rocco Barbella's been a burden...
...to his mother
during the whole of his life.
Ever since he was old enough to run,
he was a court problem.
They remanded him
to the Catholic protectory.
...each time to join his gang
and terrorize the neighborhood.
Something has got to be done
to save this boy from a criminal career.
He has got to know that
if he is going to commit burglaries...
...and make of himself a thief,
he cannot be at large.
I am therefore committing him
to Mackinock...
...for an indeterminate sentence.
- No.
Maybe they will be able
to break his spirit.
- Next case.
- We'll see whose spirit gets broke.
Don't wreck the floor,
you're gonna have to sleep on it.
Shut up, you lousy screw.
You'll get over it, kid,
even if it takes 20 years.
Open 32.
- Now, what would you like for breakfast?
- Your cruddy head on a silver platter.
I'm George Niles.
Cigarette?
My men tell me you're giving yourself
a rough time here.
Maybe we ought to talk things over.
Why you... Hold it. Hold it.
All right, you licked me, Barbella.
Twenty years and I never
laid a hand on one of my boys.
Maybe you guys will learn,
ain't no place I can't lick.
Send him to the reformatory.
Get rid of him.
Come on.
- Come on, dig.
- Just one mouthful. Just one.
Dig.
- Why don't you give him a drink, geezer?
- Sure.
Sure, you have one first, huh?
- Why you...
- Start something.
Just give me an excuse.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Come on, let's make a break.
- Give me the gun. Give me the gun!
- Will you come on?
- Give me the gun.
- You wanna get the chair?
No. No, don't. Don't.
You ever think of putting
a glove on that lead pipe?
Not a chance.
On the outside, I owned little pieces
of two fighters. Good boys.
Sometimes they win,
sometimes they dive like swans.
- Either way, there's money in it.
- Not for money. Not for nothing.
- Why not?
Because the only glove fighter I ever
knew was a bigger bum than I am.
Well, if you ever need quick money,
just look me up at Stillman's Gym.
- Ask for Frankie Peppo, that's me.
- Yeah, Rocky Barbella.
- I'm pleased to meet you.
