'G' Men Page #3

You got to play ball with them, Brick.

Go to it.

Now, Mac...

You won't get me, Brick.

I'm going to quit.

I've been thinking about it

for a long time.

But what about Collins and Leggett

and all the rest? Will they let you quit?

They still take orders from me

whether they know it or not.

- Hi, Louie.

- Gentlemen. Hi, boys.

Hi, Ruby.

Yeah, you can put them both on one.

- May I check your hat, sir?

- No, thanks.

- Want a drink?

- No, thanks.

- Come on, hurry up.

- Okay.

- Are you ready, Jean?

- Okay.

- Hello, Brad.

- How are you, Louise?

Hello, baby, how are you?

- Busy. Ever think of knocking?

- I never knock.

It does save getting splinters

in your knuckles.

- Someday someone's gonna knock you flat.

- What are you doing tonight?

- I think I've got a date.

- With me?

- Nope. Brick Davis.

- Oh, is he here?

Yes.

- See you sometime.

- So long, Mac.

Don't hit any foul balls.

I'll try not to.

How are you?

- I heard something about you, lawyer.

- You did? What?

- That you're gonna be a big G-man.

- That's right.

- You ought to be dumped in a ditch.

- Keep your tin badge in Washington.

If you stick your puss in our affairs,

you'll get a bellyful of this. Now beat it.

You made up your mind

about that plant in Brooklyn?

Yep. I'm gonna sell it.

- Sell it?

- What do you mean?

- I'm gonna retire.

- What's gonna happen to us?

That's your affair.

You can take over and keep going

if you want to, but you'd be suckers.

- This game is washed up.

- Yeah, maybe.

We're not gonna let the Mob bust up. There

are plenty of rackets we can move into.

Not for me. I'm selling out.

- What if we don't want you to sell out?

- I sell out anyway.

I've spent all the time I want to

trying to keep you guys in line.

From now on, you can run things

to suit yourself.

If they catch up with you,

it's your grief. I'm selling out.

- Does that make sense to you guys?

- Yeah, that makes sense.

- Hello, stranger.

- Oh, how are you, Jean?

Well, I feel fine. I was beginning

to think I had the measles...

...the way you've been staying away.

- I've been awfully busy.

Yeah, I know.

That's the way it always happens.

Mac puts my name up in lights, and the

only person I wanna see gets tangled up.

Don't you get eye strain

reading law books?

Yeah, that's why I'm giving it all up.

I'm leaving for Washington tomorrow.

I just stopped in to see you.

- Got a law case down there?

- No, I'm closing the office.

I've joined the Department of Justice.

- Then you'll be staying there?

- Yeah, for a while anyway.

Well, that makes things different,

doesn't it?

Yeah, a whole lot different.

You could almost call it

a flying broad jump, couldn't you?
