Now, if you'll just walk

into this liquor store...

...walk to the back of the store,

turn around and come back here.

In...?

- Walk in...

...walk to the back of the store,

turn around and come out again.

Won't that look funny?

- Not at all.

You're just helping us out.

The fella in the store is expecting you.

I don't say anything?

Well, you can if you want to.

It isn't necessary.

Was that all right?

Get into the car.

Lenny's?

- Yeah, that's right.

Your wife ever go to the Stork Club?

No.

No, we have two children,

even if we didn't.

Even if you didn't?

- Costs money.

What costs so much, admission?

No, there's no admission price...

...but the people who go there

are well-to-do.

They wear expensive clothes.

Everything you order is expensive.

Oh, but you had lots of money at times.

In the store?

- Yeah, they're expecting you.

Just walk in. Same routine.

Wait a minute.

Are you from the 110th Precinct?

- Yes, sir.

Can I do anything for you?

- No, no. The police sent him over.

Do you recognize him?

- Well...

Would you do that again,

walk back with your hat off?

Well?

- Did you get your change?

I called last time, Mother...

...and he still hasn't come home.

There must have been an accident.

Mother. Father.

- Be quiet.

Mother, come now.

Will you be quiet?

I'm on the phone.

No, it's just the boys.

Yes, I called the hospitals...

...but they didn't have anybody

answering his description.

Well, this is unlike Manny.

If he couldn't make it home

for dinner, he'd call.

I wouldn't worry about Manny, Rose.

I used to worry sometimes...

...but that's just because he's so steady

you never expect him to be late.

Well, we wanna ask you...

...have you ever been in the offices

of the Associated Life of New York...

...in the Victor Moore Arcade building?

I was there this afternoon.

Why did you go there?

I wanted to find out

how much I could borrow...

...on my wife's insurance policy.

She's gotta have a lot of work

done on her teeth...

...and the dentist said

it was gonna be $300.

I wanted to find out
