You know, John,

with Charley and Eddie gone,

we're gonna need someone else.

I ain't ever seen the bank the three

of us couldn't rob. Have you, Harry?

Oh. You're starting to believe that

stuff they put in the newspapers.

Don't you?

You say them fellas give you this $100 bill...

...to carry their valises into the hotel, eh?

And they was heavy, eh?

And that's them standing

over there for sure?

Take the combination of them

fellas standing over there...

...and them shiny cars...

...and them fancy-looking girls,

means they's all criminals.

Why do you say that?

Decent folk don't live that good.

Now you mosey on over there

and take a closer look.

You get a good look at him?

- Close as I am to you.

Him?

- No.

Oh, my God.

I like that song.

Well, don't look at me.

Want to dance?

You know how?

- Of course I do. Kind of.

It's a 12-gauge, Mr Dillinger.

I'm Big Jim Willard.

I've killed 35 men in my day.

And I wouldn't mind if you were number 36.

So let's go, sonny.

Saint Paul, baby, Saint Paul.

Is that him?

- There he is.

I think he's in the second car there.

Post arms.

Have you got a statement for us?

Where's your hat? Going collegiate?

Somebody stole my hat.

What you think about the President?

I like him. I like the New

Deal and I like the NRA.

I like especially the help

he's been giving the banks.

What about social security?

Well, it could ruin the country.

If people want money,

they ought to go to work.

Did you kill patrolman O'Malley?

I never killed anybody in my life.

I just steal money.

You've been known to

carry a gun and use it.

It is dangerous work.

- What do you think of this jail?

It's a nice place, nice people.

Ain't no jail can hold me.

It's an exercise in futility.

Say that again.

- It's an exercise in futility.

What do you think of the DA?

I like him. I like the

police commissioner, too.

I think we're all going to get

along fine here, don't you, ma'am?

Put your arm around him, Mr Estill.

We got second column again.

'Federal Bureau of Investigation.'

'Midwest Chief Melvin Purvis...

...claims he'll have Pretty

Boy Floyd within a month.'

'Commends Texas Ranger on the

killing of Bonnie and Clyde.'

Remind me to send that

man a box of cigars.

You already did.

This sort of thing isn't good, you know.

It isn't good at all.

- What kind of thing?

I mean this Dillinger punk

gets all the headlines.

Thank you, Dan.

We take second column.

That kind of thing is gonna have to change.

Make more personal

appearances when you can.

Talk to people. Let the

public know who you are.

This whole thing isn't

just catching these rats.

That's all I want to do,
