The Last Gangster

[SHIP WHISTLE BLOWING]

HELLO, GORMAN.

WHERE IS:

THE HONEYMOON CABIN?

MR. AND MRS. KROZAC

ARE IN THE IMPERIAL SUITES STRAIGHT AHEAD.

THANK YOU.

JOE'S BRINGIN'

THAT DAME BACK IS SWELL.

JOE GETS MARRIED

LIKE HE DOES EVERYTHING ELSE.

WHAT GETS ME:

IS WITH ALL THOSE SMOOTH DOLLS

JOE COULD HAVE HAD--

NO, NOT FOR A WIFE.

THIS GIRL IS HEALTHY--

HOMESPUN STOCK, I IMAGINE.

JOE'S SMART.

HE KNOWS HIS EUGENICS.

YOU MEAN, HE KNOWS

HIS ONIONS, DON'T YOU?

ALL RIGHT,

ONIONS, ONIONS.

WELL, HERE'S

TO YA, BABY.

Man:
HOLD IT, FOLKS.

HA HA HA!

HI, MRS. KROZAC.

GIVE US THE DOPE

ON YOUR ROMANCE WITH JOE...

FROM YOUR ANGLE.

PARDON?

HOW IT STARTED,

THE FIRST TIME YOU MET HIM,

ALL THAT STUFF.

I'M SORRY,

I'M TEACHING HER.

JUST ENOUGH, HUH?

HA HA HA!

WELL, THIS IS REAL

FRONT-PAGE STUFF, HUH?

JOE KROZAC:

FINALLY MARRIED.

A RESPECTABLE:

FAMILY MAN.

Man:
SOMEHOW IT MAKES YOU

SWEETER, JOE.

COULD I HAVE:

A COUPLE SHOTS:

OF MRS. KROZAC

ALONE, JOE?

OH, SURE. WHY NOT?

YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD.

SAY, YOU BOYS

AREN'T DRINKING.

AMBASSADOR, THERE'S AN EX-FELLOW

COUNTRYMAN OF YOURS ABOARD.

JOE KROZAC?

WE ARE NO PROUD OF HIM.

SOME PEOPLE THINK

THERE'S A LOT OF GLAMOUR

ABOUT A BIG SHO RACKETEER.

I DO NOT. I REGARD HIM

AS AN ENEMY OF THE PUBLIC,

A BLOT UPON:

YOUR CIVILIZATION,

A MAN WHO MAKES:

ORGANIZED CRIME AND MURDER A BUSINESS.

WELL, JOE,

HOW YOU BEEN?

HIYA, JOE.

WELL, CURLY.

SEE THEY FIXED:

THESE CANOES--

HAVE A DRINK.

THAT-A BOY.

SURE GLAD TO SEE YOU.

SPEAKING AS:

YOUR LAWYER, JOE,

DOES MRS. KROZAC

KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THINGS?

NOPE. I'M KEEPING

MY PRIVATE LIFE PRIVATE.

WOULD IT MAKE:

ANY DIFFERENCE TO HER IF SHE DID KNOW?

LISTEN, I WON'T HAVE

ANY TROUBLE WITH TALYA.

SHE'S HAND-PICKED

FROM MY OLD HOMETOWN.

I TOOK HER TO PARIS

AND PUT HER THROUGH EVERYTHING--

FACIAL MASSAGES,

MANICURES--

LACE PANTS,

ALL THE WORKS.

ALL SHE KNOWS:

FROM NOW ON IS RAISING A FAMILY.

ANOTHER DAFFY GUY

YOU KNOW IS GETTING MARRIED, TOO.

YEAH? WHO'S THAT?

FRANKIE KILE.

WELL, I'LL HAVE TO SEND HIM

A WEDDING PRESENT.

HE TOOK HIS PRESEN IN ADVANCE TWO WEEKS AGO.

HE AND HIS 3 BROTHERS

MOVED HIM TO BROOKLYN.

YOU LET HIM.

LISTEN, THE LAS WORDS YOU SAID TO ME BEFORE YOU SAILED--

AND YOU SPOKE 'EM

INTO THIS EAR, NOT THIS ONE--

WAS DON'T DO NOTHIN'

UNTIL I GET BACK. REMEMBER?

OK--

AND YOU SAID AS HOW

NAPOLEON APPRECIATED ONE THING IN A SOLDIER.

OBEDIENCE!

I LIKE A GUY:

THAT USES HIS HEAD,

THE GUY SMART ENOUGH

TO ACT IN AN EMERGENCY.

AND THE KILE BROTHERS

MOVING INTO BROOKLYN IS AN EMERGENCY,

BUT YOU WOULDN' KNOW IT, 'CAUSE YOUR BRAIN IS SET IN CEMENT.

YOU LET THE OTHER GUY

POKE HIS NOSE AROUND THE CORNER,

AND PRETTY SOON:

HE'S ON YOUR FRONT LAWN.

PRETTY SOON, HE'S YOU.

I LEARNED THA WHEN I WAS 16 YEARS OLD.

THAT'S WHY WHEN ANY GUY

PUT UP HIS HEAD, I CUT IT DOWN.

THAT'S WHY I GO WAREHOUSES AND MEN AND TRUCKS

AND PRIVATE TELEPHONES

FROM COAST TO COAST.

THAT'S WHY I GO YOU GUYS WORKING FOR ME.

THE KILE BROTHERS

DIDN'T FORGET YOU.

HERE'S YOUR INVITATION

TO THE WEDDING.

OK.

I'LL GIVE HIM

A PRESENT...

AND IT WON'T BE BROOKLYN.

[MACHINE GUN FIRE]

Man:
FRANK! FRANKIE!

IT'S KROZAC'S MOB.

[MACHINE GUN FIRE CONTINUES]

IT'S THE

KILE BROTHERS.

ARE THEY ALL DEAD?

3 OF THEM.

ACEY'S STILL ALIVE.

WELL...

NOT A BAD PICTURE

OF ME AND TALYA.

NOT A BAD PICTURE

OF THE KILE BROTHERS, EITHER.

YEAH, BUT THERE AIN' ENOUGH OF THEM IN IT.

WHERE'S MY WIFE?

SHE'S COMING NOW, SIR.

JOE. JOE!

AH!

OH, JOE!

PLEASE DO NO GO AWAY.

MMM! WHEN ARE YOU

GONNA GROW UP, BABY?

HA HA HA!

PARDONS?

SIT DOWN.

HAVE YOUR BREAKFAST.

YEAH.

THAT-A GIRL.

JOE, DID YOU...

FINISH YOUR BUSINESS... YESTERDAY EVENING?

OH, SURE, SURE.

EVERYTHING'S FINE.

OH, SAY, DON'T FORGE TO REMIND ME TO SEND HIM A GREAT BIG WREATH

WHEN THEY LAY HIM AWAY.

YOU KNOW,

SOMETHING LIKE ME.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS, HUH?

OH! IT'S--IT'S--

OH, YEAH, YEAH,

THAT'S US. THAT'S US.

HA HA HA!

WHAT IS THIS?

OH, JUST SOME GUYS.

LOOK AT THE OTHER

PICTURE AND THINK OF HOW LUCKY YOU ARE.

YOU'RE MARRIED TO

A GREAT BIG SHOT,

YOU KNOW,

LIKE NAPOLEON.

JOE...NAPOLEON.

MM-HMM.

BIG SHOT.

EXACTLY HOW MUCH

OH, JUST ENOUGH.

PRETTY SOON, I'LL HAVE TO

SPELL OUT THINGS TO YOU.

YEAH, IF YOU

COULD SPELL.

OH, SOMETIMES

WELL, YOU GO ONE THING TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

SHE CAN'T BEEF

MUCH UNTIL SHE CAN TALK BETTER.

HMM.

NOT EXACTLY,

BUT I GET BY.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

HEY, BABY.

DO YOU THINK:

SHE'S SICK?

WELL, I NEVER

HAD A DAME WHO SLEPT DURING MEALS.

IT'S JOE.

OH, THANKS.

YEAH, BUT WHY DO YOU

DO ALL THIS?

CURLY...HE GO NOW.

OH. OH, YEAH, SURE.

SAY, GO CALL DOC

JERRY WERTZ. GET HIM OVER HERE RIGHT AWAY.

OK, BUT I'M

WARNING YOU.

WERTZ WILL WANT TO

TAKE A BULLET OUT OF HER.

WHAT'S THE MATTER

WITH YOU, TALYA?

HOW I--I TELL YOU...

DON'T CON ME AROUND,

BABY. WHAT'S WRONG?

I NOT SPEAK AT ALL,

BUT I TELL YOU.

HUH?

YES.

I'M SURE NOW.

LITTLE NAPOLEON.

LIKE JOE.

YOU--YOU'RE HAPPY,

JOE?

HAPPY?

WHY, I'M SO HAPPY,

I'D LIKE TO GO UP

AND BUST SOMEBODY

IN THE NOSE.
