Cry Danger Page #4

Synopsis: Rocky Mulloy, back in town after serving 5 years of a life sentence for armed robbery, hopes to clear his friend Danny Morgan who's still in prison for the same crime. It won't be easy. Even the witness who cleared Rocky thinks he's guilty; Danny's glamorous wife Nancy, living in a sleazy trailer court, seems lukewarm about getting Danny back; cynical cop Gus Cobb just wants to stir things up in hopes that the missing "hot" $100,000 will surface. Plenty of tough talk, night scenes, deceptive dames and double crosses in this typical film noir.

Why don't you fix us

that drink, Rocky?

It's in the cupboard.

All right.

You stop worrying.

Remember the day

I introduced you to Danny?

I was so proud

of my girl,

I wanted to

show her off.

That was

a long time ago.

20 centuries.

You both deserve

a better break than this

Hanging over your heads

the rest of your lives.

Rocky, you never

told me how your felt

After we had

that quarrel,

And Danny and I

got married.

You know how I felt.

I crawled away and died

for a few weeks.

Only for a few weeks?

It lasted longer

than that with me.

But you wouldn't

change it now.

Of course not.

But sometimes I wonder.

Don't.

Not even sometimes.

Rocky, why can't we

just forget everything

That's happened?

Forget?

I mean about

the prison

And you and Danny

and the holdup.

Even if

you are innocent-

Even if I'm innocent?

I didn't mean it

that way.

Of course you did.

No, I didn't.

It wouldn't make

any difference to me

If you and Danny

were involved.

But we weren't.

I know you weren't.

Oh, Rocky,

why do you twist

Everything I say?

Oh, big homecoming,

And I'm showing you

a bad time. Sorry.

Looks like lassie's home.

Come along.

I'll introduce you.

Well, pull up some dust

and sit down.

You, of course,

would be Nancy.

Of course.

You're out of bounds.

Am I?

According to my

underworld friend.

Where's Darlene?

I'm very disappointed

in Darlene.

She turned out to be

a part-Time model

And a full-Time

pickpocket.

We may very well

have visitors before long.

What happened?

We had a great

many drinks

In this place

she knew about,

And when she thought

I was tight enough,

She went for

my bankroll.

Country boy,

city girl.

I slapped her wrist.

The bartender

didn't like that.

What about

the bartender?

I let him have it

over the head

With a peanut machine.

He's resting now,

In the emergency hospital.

Oh, swell.

You better run along.

He's right

about the visitors.

But what about you

if the police come?

We're old friends.

We can always find things

to talk about.

Oh, Rocky-

See you tomorrow.

All right.

Good night.

Have you read that book,

What to do

until the police come?

I know

all the answers.

The bartender

gave me a drink

That tasted funny,

And I don't remember

anything after that.

Give me the keys

to your car.

You burglars always

work at night, don't you?

And about 10 bucks.

Sure, sure.

We're partners.

You want me

to go along?

No, thanks.

Oh, uh, if you run

into Darlene,

Tell her all is forgiven.

Delong, you go

for the bottle

An awful lot.

You never get

to the point

Where you say things

you shouldn't, do you?

What milk is

to a baby,

That is to me.
