When Rocky is released from prison he resumes his criminal lifestyle and becomes much admired by many of the local kids.

- Father Jerry?

Yeah. Does that send me in?

Oh, I get it now. You're Rocky Sullivan.

- Yeah.

- Remember me?

- No.

- Laury Martin?

Laury Martin? That little fresh kid

with the pigtails?

Well, hello. What do you hear?

What do you say?

Hello.

- Hey! Wait a minute!

- I've waited 15 years to do that!

I wanna see Jim Frazier.

- I wanna see Frazier.

- He's busy.

- I'll wait.

- Who are you?

- Rocky Sullivan.

- Oh. Come on.

Number one. Clear the board.

Wait here.

- There's somebody to see you.

- Yeah? Who?

Rocky Sullivan.

- Rocky Sullivan?

- Yeah.

- Does he know I'm here?

- Sure. Didn't you want me to tell him?

That's all right. Send him in.

Well, well, Rocky! This is a surprise.

- What do you hear? What do you say?

- I had the date on the calendar.

I thought it was next month. Otherwise

I would've met you with a brass band.

I thought it was funny you didn't show,

but you've been busy the last three years.

You got a swell layout here.

Looks like you're in the dough.

- Yes, only... Well, you know Mac Keefer.

- Mac Keefer? Yeah, heard of him.

- He owns the town. Can buy and sell it.

- Only he doesn't buy it. He sells it.

- That's soft, eh?

- Softer than that store cot...

...l've been sleeping on

for the last three years.

- Well, you're out now, Rocky.

- Yeah.

- Where's that dough?

- What? The hundred grand?

I had it for you, only as I said,

I didn't expect...

- I know. You said it before.

- You don't have to worry about it.

- I'm not worried.

- I'll have it by the end of the week.

In the meantime, I suppose you'd like

some spending money. Here, here's 500.

I'll take that. It'll take me

a few days to get settled.

By that time, you can get that dough

together and tell me where I come in.

Where you come in? What do you mean?

What business you want me to handle,

what parts of town and what my cut is.

- Your cut?

- Yeah. That was the idea, wasn't it?

I took the rap, three years. You took

the dough, made connections, built it up.

For you and me. Wasn't that it?

Oh, I see. Yes. I understand...

...but you've got this thing all wrong.

See, I work for Keefer. He's the boss.

I haven't anything to say.

If you want a spot in his business, why...

...you'll have to take it up with him.

Now, look, Frazier, I'm not taking it up

with anybody but you.

You figure it out for yourself.

I'm taking up with you where I left off.

That was the agreement,

and we're going to stick to it. Got it?

- Well, yes, but...

- But what?

Well...

- Hello, Mac.

- Am I breaking in on anything here, Jim?

No, not at all. Come right in.

I want you to meet Rocky Sullivan.

Pleased to meet you, Sullivan.

I know all about you. You're okay.
