quick, Rocky,
before he changes
his mind.
I'll take a cigar
when I go in the bar.
What are you havin'?
Oh, nothin',
I'm on the wagon.
What's the damage?
15 cents.
That must be some booze.
It's cyanide
cut with carbolic acid,
to give it a mellow flavor.
Here's luck.
I guess I'll get back
in the bar
and catch
a couple of winks
before opening up time.
One-drink guy.
No hope till
Harry's birthday party,
unless Hickey
shows up.
If Hickey
do come later,
you wake me up
if you have to bat me
with a chair.
(laughing)
Who's Hickey?
A hardware drummer.
He's an old friend
of Harry Hope's
and all the gang.
He's a grand guy.
Comes here twice
a year regularly
on a periodical drunk,
and blows in
all his dough.
He doesn't run into anyone
he knows in his business here.
Oh, yes, that's what
I want, too, Larry.
But like I told you
last night,
I gotta stay undercover.
You did a lot of hinting,
but you didn't
tell me anything.
Well, you can guess,
can't you?
So what kind
of joint is this, anyway?
This?
This is
"No Chance Saloon,".
"Bedrock Bar,."
"End of The Line Caf,."
"The Bottom of the Sea
Rathskeller."
Don't you notice
the beautiful calm
in the atmosphere?
That's because
this is the last harbor.
No one here has to worry about
where they're going next,
'cause they can
go no further.
Although even here
they keep up
the appearance of life
with a few harmless
pipe dreams
about their yesterdays
and tomorrows.
What's your
pipe dream, Larry?
Oh, I'm the exception...
I haven't any left,
thank God.
Don't complain
about this place,
you couldn't find a better
for lying low.
Oh, I'm glad of that.
I got, uh,
knocked off base
by that business
in the coast.
Since then it's been no fun
dodging around the country
thinking every guy you see
might be a dick.
You're safe here,
cops ignore this dump.
(sighs)
They think it's
as harmless as a graveyard.
And be God, you know,
they're right.
And it's been lonely as hell.
Christ, I'm glad
I found you, Larry.
You know, I kept,
I kept saying to myself:
If I can just find Larry,
he's the one guy in the world
who can understand.
"Understand" what?
All I've been through.
Oh...
Oh, now you're thinking,
"This guy has a hell of a nerve.
I haven't seen him
since he was a kid."
Well, I've never
forgotten you, Larry.
You're the one
friend of mother's
who ever paid any
attention to me.
I remember you used
to ask me questions,
you took what I said
seriously?
I guess I got the feeling
in the years you lived with us,
you'd sort-of, you know,
taken the place of my old man.
I don't suppose
you remember it.
Ah, I remember it
