Dillinger Page #4

He's just an old man.

Alone.

Under the ground.

Amen.

The next big break I had was in Memphis.

George 'Machine Gun' Kelly.

A small-time hood and petty bank robber...

...who had risen to national prominence

for his part in the Urschel kidnapping.

He was important to me because

he had a name everyone knew,

even if he didn't deserve it.

What's more, he gave us a name that

day that became part of the language.

Don't shoot, G-Man, please.

Please don't shoot me, G-Man.

You George Kelly?

- I'm Kelly.

Please don't do it, G-Man.

Purvis, FBI.

G-Man, huh?

I like that. Government Man.

Edgar Hoover is gonna like that, too.

G-Man.

See that out there?

Where? It's all desert to me.

No, there's a town out there,

just about the horizon.

That right there, that's Mexico.

Mexico.

It's just waiting.

- Yep.

All my life, I wanted to be a bank robber.

Carry a gun, wear a mask.

Now that it's happened,

I guess I'm just about the

best bank robber they ever had.

And I sure am happy.

Is that what you wanted

to be when you were a kid?

Yep. My buddies wanted to be

firemen or farmers or policemen,

something like that. Not me.

I just wanted to steal people's money.

I bet you wanted to have your

picture in every post office, too.

Sure did.

All we got to do, Billie,

is drive down that road.

We've got $ 70,000 in the back.

We could do it if you wanted to, Johnny.

All the way to Guadalajara.

Live the rest of my life like a pharaoh.

No, I couldn't do that.

Yeah, what would your public think?

I'm in love with you, honey

Say you love me, too, honey

No one else will do, honey

Seems funny but it's true

Loved you from the start, honey

Handsome Jack Klutas,

a kidnapper and murderer.

Ran with the Barker-Corpus gang.

Had a college degree and

used to play football.

He was one of the most

vicious killers of his day.

I knew I'd never take him alive.

I didn't try too hard neither.

FBI.

Just for this picture,

I wish you would not smile. OK?

Er, now. Alright, hold it.

We've got a good one.

I collect them.

Nice place. Nice party, nice folks.

Cmo estis, amigo? And an ay,

ay, ay, ay to you.

Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet Pearl.

She sings at the Golden Sombrero.

Hey, Pearl.

- Hi.

Show business, huh?

I bet you have a glamorous life.

This is Art Long.

- Hello.

That's Sam Phillips.

- Hello.

I do business with them occasionally.

Oh, I'm sorry, that's their wives,

Trixie and Angel.

You kinda look like Dillinger, Mr Long.

Did anybody ever tell you that?

Oh no, you mean John Dillinger,

the criminal?

Uh-huh.

Some folks think I look

like Douglas Fairbanks.

I like Dillinger better.

He does look like him.

I've told him a thousand times.
