The Crooked Way Page #5

without having the cops jump on ya.

This town's goin' to the dogs.

Samson and me...

-Petey! Get that cat off the desk!

I was just saying, Samson and

me could stand a vacation.

You want us to blow town?

-That's just what I don't want.

Coke will set you up, and stay quiet!

Well, sure Vince, sure.

Anything you say.

Hello, Danny.

Come in. Come in, Joe.

Pull up a chair and rest your feet.

I hear you've had a busy day.

I figured you would.

I was saving you for last.

Should I...

relax or call in my lawyer?

That depends on how nervous you are.

I was always thought nervous

guys bit their nails?

Now, let me see...

Nick was a little bit hazy about

who Jane Doe was.

I thought you might be able to tell me.

Never heard of the girl.

Then there's Petey.

And how certain people got know where

and just when to bail him out.

Now...nobody knows anything.

But, we'll find him.

We;ve got all exits out of town plugged.

And I got a hunch he'll

be real cooperative.

You see...

I don't think he knows

anything about this.

Kelly.

He's gone and gotten himself killed.

Just like Kelly...

You never know what he'll do next.

That goes for a lot of guys.

Take you and...

Then again, take Eddie Riccardi...

You boys forgive and forget,

and back in business again.

You and Riccardi got a lot in common,

why don't you ask him?

At the moment, you're number one.

And, it won't be any...manslaughter

charge and out in two years.

I put you away this time...

it'll be for keeps.

You got all the answers figured

out, haven't you?

I might have, sooner than you think.

So sorry!

Me, I never had a complaint.

You call my old boss.

He'll tell you my bringing in 500

a night at the gambling tables

was a small bag of tell.

Oh, Mr Alexander! I just came in looking

for a job and I was telling Ms Martin...

Get rid of her.

Vince, we need some new talent...

-Okay! Okay! Come back at eight tonight.

She'll tell you what to do.

-Oh, gee! Thanks!

You know Eddie's still in town?

Yes.

Been around to see you?

When?

Late last night.

Did he tell ya I gave him

24 hours to get out?

No.

Well, I changed my mind.

I want him to stay.

I want you to make sure he does stay.

My job's to work the tables

for you here, Vince, and...

I don't even mind setups like the one with

Petey or...other deals like that, but...

Vince...

Stay out of my personal life!

Listen you...

When Eddie dropped you, who picked

you up and gave you your health?

Who gave you your job?

Everything you got?

Vince Alexander!

I won't do it, Vince.

Forget Eddie.

When I get through with him.

But, now you're gonna meet him.

And, I want you to make sure

he does stay in town.

What'll it be?
