Look at this, a roadster.
And the gang promised me a limousine.
- It's piecrust to you, ain't it?
- Shut up, you sap.
We ain't out of danger yet.
It's 10 miles to town. Well, so long.
I hope I never see you again.
- Boy, I hate these country prisons.
- I hate all prisons.
- The food is bad.
- Well, listen. Next time-
There ain't gonna be any next time.
Not for me.
- No? What are you gonna do for a livin'?
You can start with 100 eggs,
and by saving the pullets...
at the end of the year
you'll have 10,000 eggs.
- Yeah? Listen. Get out and fix that.
- What's the matter?
- I think we got a flat tire.
- Flat tire?
That's luck for you.
I don't see any flat tire.
No? Well, buy a mirror!
- Hey, there!

- Friends, we will hear from Brother Dan...
once lost in the sea of sin...
but now safe on the shores of love.
[All]
Praise be! Praise be! Praise be!
Friends, you wouldn't "tink" to look at me
now that I once was as wicked as you.
But, yea, verily, there's no sinner
among you what I can't call "brudder."
You know how I got lost in crime and sin?
Bad company.
But I found the error of my ways.
Now I'm happy in the light
and love the whole world.
- [Drum Banging]
Yeah, even the-the depraved
wretch what led me into sin...
even him I love and forgive.
And remember, "brudders,"
crime don't pay.
[Horn Honks]
No, sir.
Crime don't pay.
And verily, I say to you...
even the depraved wr-
louse... what led me into sin...
even him I love and forgive.
And there is a blow of vengeance coming what-
on all sinners what knows no mercy.
There is retribution for all. And there
is "tunderbolts" comin' from the sky...
on your head, unexpected.
And verily I say to you, the wages of sin
is a punch in the jaw, you louse!
[Crowd Shouting]
What are you pinchin' me for?
He's the one that did it!
? [March]
[Man]
Twenty-four, 26...
- 28, 30, 32...
- [Siren Sounds]
34, 36, 38, 40, 42.
[Gate Clinking Open]
Another one?
Hello, Al. Another load?
- Howdy, Joe. Yeah.
- Got another load for you.
[Men Jeering]
- Oh, look at the mug on that guy.
- Look at that pan!
[Jeering Continues]
Say, is there a piccolo player in the crowd?
Why, no, sir.
But I can play a saxophone.
So that's what you're in for.
For three months, I been tryin' to get a piccolo
player, and all they send up is saxophones.
Just a lot of punks.
That's all.
[Man]
Oh, noo that's a shame.
What'd you do, boy,
rob your mama's bank?
Poor kids.
What do you think of that?
- Ain't that a dirty shame?
- Get the pan on this guy.
[Men Jeering]
I been in this jail 40 years...
and the saps they send up here
gets worse and worse.
It's gettin' to be a day nursery.
They wouldn't even allow
those kind of guys in here in my time.
How'd they keep 'em out?
Blackball 'em?
- You know what they'd have called
Big Pete in my day?
- What?
- A sissy.
- [Laughter]
Yeah, there was men in those days-
men with needles in their chests,
men like meself.
[Bones Crack]
Come on over and play ball.
[Chattering]
Just one week before the big game,
and they had to go and pardon the pitcher.
It's politics.
That's what it is- politics.
- Somebody higher up don't want us to win.
- You know who it is?
The governor.
- Jessell!
- Well, if it ain't little Morris. So you're here!
Yes, I'm here.
And you're here too, where you belong.
