- Am I coming at a bad time?

- Not at all. Come on in.

I don't want to interrupt

your pantomime.

What are you watching?

A newsreel, but it's over.

Why don't you come on in?

- Too fast with the ring?

- Nothing's too fast that fits.

Do you always carry around

a spare ring?

I figured I'd run into you.

Would you ever have called me?

I was planning to wait a while.

About ten years.

Why?

If all we're going to do is bring

each other misery and torment...

Why would we

bring each other misery and torment?

We both want what we want whenever

we want it, and we want everything.

- That doesn't sound too promising.

- That's what I'm saying.

- Then why did you come?

- Well, it wasn't caution.

- What about Joey A.?

- Does he bother you?

Is it your conscience or are you

worried about your business?

I haven't thought it through

that clearly.

If he knew I were here, he'd only

be thinking about who to kill first.

Do you want to kiss me

as much as I want to kiss you?

How do you know

I want to kiss you at all?

I really don't think we should

go through with this, do you?

Is that yes or no?

Both.

- You pack quite a punch.

- That was a slap.

If I'd punched you, you'd be

stretched out across the floor.

You're right about everything.

Right about the misery and torment.

I'm sure you're right

about what you want.

Do you always talk this much

before you do it?

I only talk this much

before I'm gonna kill someone.

Hey, Georgie boy.

Did you find Mickey Cohen yet?

Biltmore Health Club at one o'clock.

We meet him there.

Pick me up at noon. Good.

You still think we'll only bring

each other misery and torment?

With a few distractions in between.

You call what we've been doing

distractions?

- Thank you, the feeling's mutual.

- Good, that's the way I like it.

20 dwarves took turns

doing handstands on the carpet.

20 dwarves took turns

doing handstands on the carpet.

- What time is it?

- One thirty.

The little schmuck

is half an hour late.

Who's a little schmuck?

Who are you referring to?

- You'd better show me some respect.

- You've got it backwards.

Unless your idea of showing

a man respect is to rob him.

Who said I robbed?

Everything I've got is mine.

- Yes, you stole it from me.

- What's mine is mine.

I understand from Jack Dragna

you stole 56,000 and change.

The lying fat f***!

It was 42, not 56.

- I thought you didn't steal it.

- If I had, it would have been 42.

If I were you, I'd give that money

back by seven o'clock tonight.

F*** you!

Look at me, f*** you!

If I was you, I'd shut

my f***ing mouth and watch my step.

- I could blow you away.

- Aren't we in a public place?
