Get out, you crook.

You think l lie and count my fingers?

You think l'll take a rap for

Don't get excited, Marty.

l'm sorry.

l shouldn't have tried

to pull that on you.

Be practical, my friend.

You're going to the chair anyway.

You killed a cop.

You can't beat that.

-Get out!

Homicide is beginning to think

you and your girl did the job.

l got no girls, Niles.

Of course, you haven't.

What would you think

of 10,000 dollars?

lf you had a girl,...

...10,000 would take her a long way.

You haven't...

...so we'll give it to you mother.

Think of it, Marty.

...for a lines that don't

mean anything to you.

That cop is going to throw you out.

-They're looking for her.

Looking hard.

-Let'em look.

She must be beautiful, Marty.

You always could pick them.

Dark, l bet...

...with a face like a Madonna.

Niles...

-Young, too.

You better knock off that yapping.

The police can't find her...

...but maybe we can...

...and make the police

believe she did it.

They might not...

...the way she is now...

...but if we worked on

her for a few days...

...maybe she wouldn't

be sure herself,...

...or she wouldn't look the same.

Even you wouldn't recognize her.

Maybe she wouldn't be...

You pig! l'll tear your

dirty tongue out!

Nurse!

Nurse!
