and he's gonna take all we got.

We're a cinch to get rid

of our breweries and warehouses.

- We can sell them to the government.

- The government?

Sure, ain't they muscling in

into our business?

[CHUCKLING]

Well, that's swell.

Oh, um...

Oh, Bugs?

Yeah?

I was just kind of thinking.

Now that you've got rid of the boys, trucks,

ammunition, and the choppers and Edith...

...I was wondering, well,

what you were figuring to do with me.

Well, why don't you take a little trip

for yourself?

You mean, us split up?

Oh, don't give me that.

We've been together since we was kids

over on Blue Island Avenue.

- I know, but seeing as how...

- You're gonna put no skids under Al.

I started with you, I'm sticking with you,

even if I have to wade to my hips in art.

Look at all the good times

we had together.

Remember the time we busted into that loft

after them furs?

Yeah, and you went into a panic over that

big stuffed polar bear in the corner.

- I gave it to him.

- You sure opened up on him.

The cops on the West Side was swarming

that joint like they was bees around a hive.

And in reform school,

when we got ahold of that saltpeter.

Hey, boy, will I ever forget that?

We dumped it in the sugar bowl.

[LAUGHING]

Yeah, boy, we certainly did have fun

before we went in the big business.

We're gonna keep on having fun,

together.

Where Papa goes, Mama goes.

- Okay, you're in.

- Swell.

Yeah, but you gotta keep

improving yourself.

I'm serious

about this getting-up-in-the-world idea...

...and I don't want no anchor

to drag around.

- Understand?

- Uh-huh.

MAN:

Hey, Jim.

Frankie wants to see you.

All right.

Come on, Frankie, drag it in.

- Hello, what's on your mind?

- Look, Bugs, I'm up in Joe Milano's joint.

I'm in the bathroom,

but I hear them gabbing outside the door.

Joe and the boys are coming up here

and give you a good going-over.

Yeah? So they found out

who hijacked their trucks last week?

Yeah, Joe says they're gonna beat

the can off you.

That greaseball's gonna beat the can

off of us, huh?

- He is, huh? I'll get the boys...

- Just a minute.

I'll take care of this.

Thanks for the tip.

Here, scram and buy yourself a cigar.

I'm practically gone, sweetheart.

Much obliged for the sugar.

Let me phone the boys.

We'll put them in the other room.

- When Joe's mob walks in...

- Yeah, we'll start shooting.

Put ourselves on the spot with the coppers,

and what for?

That's all we need now.

I told you we were through,

and I meant it.

You gonna sit here and

let that garlic blossom give you the finger?

- Well, we'll blow out of town, quick.

- Well, where?

Well, let me see.

Say, how's for Europe?
