She Done Him Wrong

You saw the fight last night?

I was reading about it. Says it was great.

- It was rotten.

- What was the matter with it?

I expected a fight to the finish. But in

the 77th round the guy got yellow and quit.

That certainly is a bird of a picture.

So help me,

I never saw a woman more beautiful.

It's just come this morning.

Gus didn't wait for his breakfast

before he had it stuck up there.

A guy don't need any breakfast

when he can look at her.

She is beautiful.

I wish she'd take a shine to me.

You better not let Gus Jordan

hear you say that...

or you'll be picking lead out of your pants.

When did that crawl in here?

Hit him on the back

before he chokes to death.

This ought to learn you

that free lunch is meant to be ate.

And not stored for the winter.

Hello, where've you been?

Ain't seen you

since Sweeney Carson croaked your girl.

Been away on important business.

I'll be around a lot from now on.

How are you, boys?

Fine.

Hi, boys, drinks are on me.

- Been waiting long?

- About 15 minutes.

When did the painting go up there?

This morning.

I think I got the dope

on how to get Jordan this time...

and get him right.

Gus seems to be sitting as tight as ever, Dan.

Don't you believe it.

Just because he's running for sheriff

and stands in good with the higher-ups...

don't mean he can't be showed up.

Pretty soon, I'll be standing in his shoes

as boss of this here district. And then...

And you figure she goes

along with that honour, Dan?

I always thought you were warm for her.

Yes, I got to admit it.

This is my first big chance.

Jordan's playing a crooked game.

So far he's kept under cover.

But once I get hold of something I can take

to the district attorney...

Gus'll be out and I'll be in.

Then it'll all be over but the celebrating.

She ain't no easy gal to handle, Flynn.

I know that. She's a pretty slick article.

When Chick was sent up the river,

she blowed into Jordan's arms...

just for protection,

and he's too blind to see it.

Sure, he's all puffed up over himself.

Do you believe it?

He actually thinks she's in love with him.

Ever since I sang that song,

it's been haunting me.

It should haunt you. You murdered it.

- You play that like it'll hurt you.

- It does.

No, I'm moody that way, see.

Say, boss, I got a brand new tune, just out.

Yeah? What is it?

It's called After The Ball Is Over.

Play it.

Kelly, that'll be a great song for Lou.

She's getting famous.

Tony Pastor himself offered to sign her up

for his music hall.

You don't mean Tony Pastor

way uptown on 14th Street?

Yes, that's the one.

Pastor says that Lou's got it

all over Della Fox.

Hello, Mrs. Meg.

- Mrs. Flaherty, I'm disappointed in you.

- Disappointed in me?

Just because I come here with me little can.

Sure, a pint of beer will hurt nobody no time.

It's not only that. I'm disappointed

at not seeing you at the mission.

At the mission?

See here, Cummings.

What is it, Jordan?

I thought you'd given up the idea

of trying to reform my place.

- No, I'm still hopeful.

- Hopeful?

I'm not going to have you people

interfering in my business.

Before you started that mission next door,

we never had any trouble around here.

I've heard differently.

But if what you say is true,

I'd only be too glad to be mistaken.

Now, see here, Cummings,

I'm telling you again.

I'm not going to have my customers

driven away.

Why, I wouldn't think

of doing such a thing, Jordan.

Hey, Jordan.

Yeah.

How are you, Gus?

Hello, Flynn.

How are you?

Great.

- Have a drink?

- Sure.

Set up over there.

Right, boss.
