- Billy, I want my dough back.
Maybe she took it.
After all I've done for you,
and you dare steal from me!
I know that whiskey
makes you do wrong things.
Or I'd bust a cap in your goddamn head.
Now, Billy,
we're gonna go out again tonight.
Only this time, you're gonna
pull your own weight.
And if you don't get me my money...
Anything you say, brother, anything.
Jimmy, you're in. Can you drive?
- Greg, like, I've been away five years.
- Goddamn it! Can you drive?
Yeah, I can drive.
All right, then.
- How do you like my car, Jimbo?
- Yeah, it's groovy, Greg.
Maybe after a good score, you ought
to think about getting another car.
I had the clutch fixed
that way on purpose.
Keeps the guy from speeding away
from a job and drawing heat.
On purpose? Yeah!
By the way, Jimbo...
- Notice anything unusual about me?
- No.
Yeah, Greg.
I mean, you do look different.
But I can't figure out
why you look different.
Goddamn it,
it's pretty obvious, isn't it?
Like, you're wearing
a Humphrey Bogart trench coat.
That it?
Greg, I can't see too good.
I need glasses and all.
Jim, for Christ's sake, look at my ear!
Look, see there?
I put a little mole on my ear
with my honey's mascara.
Stuck a few hairs in it.
Then I darkened my eyebrows,
made them bigger, see?
Any witness will say, "The guy had
bushy eyebrows and a mole on his ear."
Now, that's slick.
That's slicker than slop!
Okay, Billy, this is the job I cased.
Now's your chance to get back
- And you better get it.
- I swear, I didn't steal no money, man.
Just go in there
and get me at least $50...
that you didn't do what I know you did.
This is the last night for old Billy.
I got to cut him loose.
He drinks too much.
I think, after tonight, it's gonna be you
who's a part of our little family.
I can't do it, Greg.
The guy in the store knows me.
- What?
- He knows me, Greg.
Guy used to work at the shine parlor.
You lying, thieving...
Jimmy, tell him. Guy named Hellfire Jack.
Ain't that right?
When we drove by,
I did think I saw Hellfire Jack.
I think it's Hellfire Jack in there.
See? I told you.
Used to work over there
on East Fifth Street. Used to...
It's the truth. He used to work
in a process parlor over there.
- I thought you said a shine parlor.
- Process parlor, man! He did my hair.
He said a process parlor.
F*** it.
- I'll do it myself.
- Yeah, you go ahead on and do it.
I'll help Jimmy drive.
I use this little hop, skip, jump,
which moves me fast.
It isn't noticeable to someone
passing by, like running is.
When you see me skip,
