What do you think, Irving?
He makes this cheap dago
move on me, Bo weinberg...
The man who took out
Vincent coll,
who held Jack diamond's
ear so he could put
the gun in his mouth,
too stupid to find for himself,
who made him more than
the low-down goniff that he is.
The schmuck! Pulls
me off the street
right in front of my girl.
Schmuck. Don't talk to Irving.
Talk to me. Men talk.
If they are men, they talk.
They discuss these things.
But you, I don't know, Dutch.
I don't know what stinking
womb of puss and scum
and ape sh*t you came out of.
Bo, you should understand
I am past the madness part.
I am past the anger.
Don't waste your breath.
Never paid your debts, Dutch.
Never paid me what I was worth.
You never paid nobody
what they was worth.
Bo, look who came
along for the ride.
The more I done for you,
the more like a brother I was.
I saved your life
a dozen times!
Kid, you like boats?
I don't know yet.
I protected you!
I did your sh*t work and
I did it like a professional.
You always had a way with words.
You got more words than me,
being I haven't
been to high school.
But I got a good head
for current events.
And so I guess it all evens out.
What's even?
I made you a millionaire!
You got more money than
you know what to do with!
I built this organization,
the beer, the unions...
The numbers!
20 million dollars a year...
And you'd have run it like
some goddamn candy store!
Look at it this way, Bo.
I'm the one sittin' here and
you're the one sittin' there.
Now who would you rather
be at this moment?
Come on, lady.
It's all right, Irving.
You can bring her up.
No! No, Dutch!
Feeling better?
You can sit her
down there, Irving.
Come here.
This is very good malt whiskey.
Go ahead.
It'll settle your stomach.
This is between me and you.
Leave her out of it.
Bravo, sweetheart. Bravo.
You know what you're
doin', don't you?
I'll bet you know how to do
just about everything.
It's over, it's done.
Did you say something, Bo?
You can see the trouble
your Bo is in.
Right, Bo?
Show her how you can't
do certain things
anymore in your life.
The simplest thing, like
crossing your legs
or scratching your nose.
It can't be done
anymore by you.
Sure, he can scream,
he can shout.
But he can't lift his foot.
He can't open his fly.
He can't tell you
what time it is.
Little by little
he's taking leave of his life.
- Irving, is there a cabin?
- Down below, aft, back end.
Mr. "class act" Bo weinberg
moves against his best friend.
Against the man he
works for. That's class.
All right, miss,
if you'd be so kind.
Dutch.
So tell me, I'm just curious.
When did you two meet?
How long have you and Bo
been lovebirds?
I have not had the pleasure
of meeting you before tonight,
but it's clear
that Bo is in love.
Irving.
Put me out, Irving.
I'm begging you.
Put the muzzle to my head.
I can't do that, Bo.
Please, Irving.
Sorry.
I could give you a drink.
Wanna drink, Bo?
You listen to me, kid.
You take some advice
from old Bo weinberg.
This man of yours
ain't gonna last long.
He's obsolete.
You know what that means?
Means he's finished, he's done.
He's up against tougher
guys than him
and they're better organized.
If you're as smart as they say
you are, look out for yourself.
You listen to old Bo weinberg.
Hey... how'd you get
into this, kid?
Juggling.
It was juggling
that got me into it.
There ain't been a beer truck
around here for weeks.
What does that mean?
- What're you, stupid?
- No.
It means we can sit here
'til the cows come home.
The dutchman's hidin' out.
Dutch Schultz don't
hide from nobody.
Joey's brother works for Dutch
and he said the heat is on.
Joey faye's brother?
How'd he get a job
workin' for Schultz?
He caught on.
- How?
- I don't know, he caught on.
- Schultz noticed him.
- Give me a cigarette.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I have the pleasure
to present the phantom:
The world's greatest juggler.
The world's greatest jerk.
He has come to us directly
from a tour of the crowned
heads of Europe.
And he will juggle,
not one, not two, not three,
but four balls. Count 'em.
This was never before attempted
in the Bronx, New York, U.S.A.
Shut up. Look!
That's him.
- That's Schultz.
- Oh, my God.
He's got a gun.
It's very simple,
but I think I got
this whole thing under control.
Then do it, counselor.
Pay 'em off.
Do it. What's he doing?
Hey, kid, come here.
Come here.
Arthur...
Arthur, can I just finish
this point I'm trying to make?
I know you don't like
to talk about money,
but I need about $10,000
more to cover these guys.
I mean, it seems like a lot.
$10,000 is a lot of money.
But these are the best
attorneys on the east coast.
They have a lot of connections.
If we do go to trial...
This doesn't go to trial.
A capable boy.
Arthur, look, just look.
Can you give me an answer?
You want an answer?
How come you're the cheapest
lawyer I could find...
And you still cost me
all this dough?
He always wants a little money.
Hey, Billy!
Did you see that?
He just met Dutch Schultz.
What do ya got there?
Now he's a big shot.
Let me look at it.
Wanna see me double it?
Wanna see me double it?
Hey, Billy!
Come on, share the wealth.
Arnold!
Arnold garbage!
Arnold!
- You still got it?
- Yeah.
Well, go get it.
Does it work?
Sure... I think it does.
You gotta clean it up first.
- Is there bullets in it?
- No.
See how the serial number's
been filed off there?
That's the sign
that it's a mob gun.
I'll give you three dollars.
You have three dollars?
Where did this come from?
Dutch Schultz.
Now give me my change.
You lyin' son of a b*tch.
Ma, I'm gonna go out now.
I'll be back in a little while.
The government's after him,
cops are after him,
everybody's after him.
And there he is, like he
ain't got a care in the world.
So he noticed you.
So what? So what?
You think a guy like me's
got a lot of choices?
You notice John d. Rockefeller
offering me a job?
Or the Yankees asking
me to play shortstop?
No. This is it.
Becky, listen to me.
You don't understand about
a guy like Dutch Schultz.
He grew up around here.
He was a nobody... just like me.
But he had brains
and he had guts.
And look at him now. I bet he's
the richest man in New York.
I mean, he's got
the racetracks.
He's got the nightclubs.
He controls the
whole liquor business.
He's gotten into
the numbers racket.
I mean, Dutch Schultz is the
number one... and he noticed me.
I'm tellin' you, Becky, I know
whatever happens to me
in my life... it's
gonna have something
to do with Mr. Schultz.
So what're you gonna
do? I'm gonna find him.
How're you gonna find him?
Don't worry, I'll find him.
Hey, Harry, how ya doin'?
Great.
Right on schedule.
What's this? What's goin' on?
Is this some kind of joke?
Lulu.
All you have to do is what
