and I need the dough to pay him off.

- I don't believe a man can vote 37 times.

- I tell you, he voted 37 times.

Who voted 37 times?

Oh, evening, boss. Good evening, Mr. Mayor.

A lug I got outside here. He voted 37 times,

but Charlie won't give me the dough for him.

Pay him off. See what kind of service

I'm giving you, Wilfred?

- Bring the lug here. We want to look at him.

- We certainly do.

Hello.

Come on. Give me that dough.

Hey, you.

Quit feeding your face and come on in here.

Markov?

This is the lug, eh?

Yeah. This is him.

You ain't supposed to vote more than once.

Who are you?

A tough guy, eh?

You like the dark meat, eh?

You got 'em now?

A landslide?

A landslide. Thanks, Hibney.

A tough guy, eh?

Come over to the bar, Wilfred.

You too, tough guy.

Set 'em up.

- What will you have, boys?

- Orange juice.

Orange juice.

- How's my back hair, Flossy?

- What did he say?

Give me a double pecan fudge twist

with two cherries on it.

What did he say?

Give me a boilermaker.

- A what?

- A whisky and a glass of beer.

- Where's he been?

- A funny guy, eh?

- I guess you don't know where you are.

- That's right and I don't care.

A wonderful feeling.

Anyway, the gentleman to your right

happens to be the mayor of the city,

the Honorable WH Tillinghast.

That geek?

And me, I happen to be somebody you'd

better not forget the next time you see me.

So just to help you remember...

Hey! Cut it.

The guy don't know better.

I'll take care of him later.

OK.

Mayor Tillinghast wins the election.

Congratulations, Wilfred.

- Now, listen. You...

- Take your finger out of my face.

The lug kills me.

He thinks he's me.

Yes?

- 'That slug is here. '

- Send him in.

Access? What do you mean?

Got a new suit.

It looks more like the suit got you.

- Listen, you...

- You listen for a change.

The reason you're alive

and walking around in that... horse blanket

isn't because I like you.

It's because I can use some guts

in my business.

Not guts behind a gun. Anybody's got that.

But with the bare mitts.

Like I got.

There's been too much rough play

in this city and it's unhealthy.

It introduces a very bad element,

like Louie, see?

Take away his rod and what you got left?

A violet.

What I'm in is a business.

And business got to be run business-like.

When a customer is late

and a guy like Louie handles him,

he discontinues to be a customer.

- You think you're tough?

- Tough enough.

I could slap you down with one hand.

You and who else?

All right. I haven't got time now.

You'll find out.

In the meanwhile, if you want to do

some collecting, you got a job.

I'll give you a few names that are behind,

and if you can collect, you get 20%.
