"The outbreak of hoodlumism in this

county in the last two weeks...

is described by Sheriff Demig as the

work of a flood of expert gunmen."

How do you like that?

We're a flood of expert gunmen!

We ought to send them our pictures

for the front page, huh?

You know what we can get for it,

don't you?

For what?

- Tomorrow night.

Sure, but look at the payoff.

What did we get tonight for risking

our necks? $23.84...to split!

This way,bang!

Once we're done,

we're on Easy Street!

That is the only reason

I'm going for it.

After that, believe me...

no more.

You ain't going chicken on me, are you?

You'll be there?

I'll be there.

Yeah...

I'll be there, Jerry.

I may be a couple of minutes

late, but I will be there.

Yes, okay.

How do you like the black?

Hey, cowboy!

Now these I do like.

Have these in her size?

- I'll look.

They are very much too fancy!

Where would I wear them?

We are going to step out one of these

Saturday nights! Get them in her size.

I have to get going.

Buy what you want, huh?

- Okay.

Goodbye.

- Bye.

So long, partner.

- Gotcha!

- Never do that, Tommy.

Sorry, but you have to be more careful.

You can put someone's eyes out.

Okay?

- Okay, Daddy.

You're making me nervous!

He may be late.

He may be in there another hour.

No, he's always out by 11:00.

Those folks must set an alarm clock.

Will you relax?

Look Jerry, keep your hands off.

Don't shove me!

Want to stick your chin out for

peanuts the rest of your life?

Don't you want to get some real dough?

To be someone for a change?

I'm here, ain't I?

Yeah, you're here.

What'd I tell you?

Right on time.

Lovely evening!

What's the idea?

I feel like a ride.

Just my style.

Why don't you turn her over?

Let me hear how it sounds.

- Look...

- Turn her over.

Not bad.

Get going!

Straight on Elm.

Where did you get the suit?

The suit, where did you get it?

Around here?

I have them made.

- Around here?

New York.

You guys treat yourselves alright,

don't you?

New York, eh?

How do you like that?

Why tie me up? My wallet's in my

pocket. There's $20 in it!

$20, huh?

You can do better than that.

If we ask your old man nicely,

he will do much better.

Yes, indeed. A lot better.

- What's my father got to do with this?

Say ah.

Open your mouth!

Let me know if it's too tight.

Get in there!

- Johnny, please.

- What do you have to go now for?

I have to go, it's late.

Tell your boyfriend that you

went to the movies.

I told him that last night.

Be nice, Johnny.

It's late, I have to get back.

Fine, have it your way.

Oh, Johnny, wait!

You see me on Thursday, really.

Call me on Thursday.

So there was nobody here
