Look. There was nothing personal in
that slap. It had nothing to do with me.
You just can't refuse a dying
man's last wish. That's all.
Let go of me.
You didn't do that whole morgue
bit just to come here and hit me.
Do you always think that fast?
What do you want?
One thing.
Joe told me you were connected
with the big mob boys.
I want to get to Pauley Atlas.
Gordy.
This joker wants to get to Pauley Atlas.
Mr Duncan.
I think you are a little confused.
Is that so?
I'm Gordy Shay. The manager.
Now somehow you seem to think
we have a lot of answers here.
Like on a television quiz program.
It's called "What's My Racket".
But we don't book
comedians here, Mr Duncan.
You'd book a Salvation Army man if he
would make you 5 million dollars a year.
You did say five million?
Distinctly.
But this is one comic that will only
tell his jokes to Pauley Atlas.
Well now maybe I can
learn to laugh just as loud.
No. You run a nightclub, Mr Shay. You do
not want to have anything to do with me.
I need financing.
Not the kind that comes from banks.
A lot of money.
Not in Texas.
I'll get to Atlas without you.
Maybe he won't think you're so smart
when he finds you passed up a good deal.
No. I'll call you tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I'll see if I
can't find Mr Atlas's number.
In the phone-book.
Mr Anderson is by the pool, Mr Shay.
Atlas does alright for himself.
He should do even better
with you around, huh?
Come on.
It's the funniest story I ever heard.
Well, here comes Gordy.
You know, you are working too hard.
You should have come over sooner.
Well that girl. He's always with a girl.
You'd better wait here a minute.
Having big dreams?
You say the word and
I can make them better.
taking a few X-Rays first.
Oh, Doc Duncan.
The man with the X-Ray eyes that
sees right through everything.
You don't hide so much.
Will you excuse us please?
Are you okay?
You'll find out for yourself, huh.
Well, come on over.
Come over and have some refreshments.
A cool drink or something.
It's nice to see you, Mr Duncan.
It's a nice party.
Hmm.
Gordy should have
brought you over sooner.
Thank you.
When you know you're seeing
the right man, it's never too long.
And you know the right thing to say.
That's very important, Gordy. Very.
I'm sure it is.
Do you know the right things to say
about that proposition you had?
Where can we talk?
Alone.
No, no. The three of us.
My dear, you'll excuse
us I'm sure, won't you?
You've been here enough times
to enjoy yourself and have fun.
Would you excuse us.
