...but he knows how to hurt a man
when he gets mad.
You were asking for me?
- O'Hara?
- O'Hara.
You're what they call
an abie-bodied seaman?
Well, that's what they call it.
- You ever work on a yacht?
- No.
- I presume you can handle a speedboat?
- Well, I presume so.
Do you drink?
- I beg your pardon?
- I asked you if you drink?
Whatever's set in front of me.
Doesn't have to be wholesome...
...just as long as it's strong.
Do you drink habitually?
May I ask, mister,
if you're extending an invitation?
Well, I guess it might as well be.
Now, Mr. O'Hara,
if you'll show me to the nearest bar...
...we'll sit down together
and discuss your coming to work for me.
My name is Bannister.
Bannister.
Boys, may I present Mr. Arthur Bannister,
the world's greatest criminal lawyer.
He'll get you out of anything.
Jake Bjrnson and Goldie, right?
Goldfish is the name. Glad to know you.
Mr. Bannister's wife sent him to get me.
Isn't that right, Mr. Bannister?
Now Mr. Bannister's going
to buy us all a few drinks...
...while I entertain myself
by refusing to go to work for him.
You know, Mike saved my wife's life.
Here. Would you mind
inserting these coins?
Number four.
That's all we like to hear.
Mike's quite a hero, quite a tough guy.
Mister, there ain't no such thing.
What's a tough guy?
I don't know.
A guy with an edge.
What makes him sing better than me?
Something in here.
What makes it loud?
A microphone. That's his edge.
Edge?
A gun or a knife, a nightstick or a razor,
something the other guy ain't got.
A little extra reach on a punch,
a set of brass knuckles...
...a stripe on the sleeve,
a badge that says cop on it, a rock...
...in your hand,
or a bankroll in your pocket.
That's an edge, brother.
Without an edge, he ain't no tough guy.
- You hear that, Black Irish?
- It's true.
Well, bear it in mind.
But what makes him
sing prettier than you?
Naturally, someone had to take
Mr. Bannister home.
I told myself I couldn't leave a helpless
man lying unconscious in a saloon.
Well, it was me that was unconscious...
...and he was exactly as helpless
as a sleeping rattlesnake.
Say, it's nice of you, Michael,
to be so nice to me while I'm so drunk.
Lover!
I wasn't sure you'd come.
I'm not staying.
You've got to stay.
Lover!
Gonna be a real nice cruise.
First, the Panama Canal,
then up the Mexican coast.
We need a bosun, Danny-boy.
- Ever done any sailing?
- A bit of it.
I saw you last night at the garage, it was.
Somebody else, Danny-boy, not me.
Don't go. She needs you bad. You stay.
Mike, if you play your cards right,
we can get a job for us both.
