You Can't Get Away with Murder Page #4

---

Is the wrong end of

a stream of hot juice.

I never should have

listened to you.

Why did I ever get myself

mixed up in this mess?

Yellow as they

make em, ain't you?

I don't care.

I'm gonna cut myself

loose from you.

Fred and Madge

were right.

If I ever get out

of this I'm through,

I'm gonna

get a job.

Now listen, kid,

We're in

this together

And there's a murder rap

hanging over both of us,

You and me.

You can't drag me

into this.

I didn't do

no shooting,

I wasn't even there

when it happened.

It don't make

no difference

if you was in china.

You gave me

the gun, didn't you,

and that's the law.

And that's all the D.A.

And the jury care about.

And from now on, kid,

you and me are gonna be

just like Siamese twins.

There ain't gonna be

nothing happening to me

Without the same thing

happening to you.

You understand?

Well, Frank,

What do you

want me to do?

Gonna do just what

I'm gonna do,

Play dumb and keep

your mouth shut.

This is one rap that's

going in dead storage.

The cops--Suppose they

start asking questions?

All right, you

don't know nothing.

Yeah, sure.

But coppers got a way

of wearing you down.

Oh.

Maybe this

will help you out.

There's only two guys

know I did the shooting

And one of them's dead.

And the other

one's gonna be

If he don't

keep his trap shut.

Good night, Johnnie.

Hello, Johnnie.

I've been

waiting up for you.

I thought you

were out with Fred.

Oh, I was.

But we got home

long before midnight.

Looked high

and low for you,

Wanted to tell you

the good news.

Johnnie,

Fred and I are

gonna get married--

Friday morning--And you're

gonna be best man.

Well, aren't you gonna

say something,

Aren't you excited?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Friday, huh?

At the city hall.

And then we're going

to Boston to live--

All of us--You, too.

Fred's got a job

for you.

A job?

A steady job with a good

chance for promotion.

Oh, Johnnie, you will come,

won't you?

Yeah.

Sure, I'll come.

I mean...

what's the matter?

Johnnie,

Johnnie,

Are you afraid

that this marriage

Will break us up?

It won't

change a thing.

We'll still be together.

Only now there's

going to be 3 of us.

Johnnie, maybe

we'll get a car.

Gee, doesn't it

all sound swell?

Oh boy, it's great.

[Sobs]

[Knocking]

Johnnie stone?

Yeah.

Madge:
what's

the matter?

I'm taking him

with me.

Johnnie!

All right, son,

get your coat.

Johnnie!

Johnnie, what

have you done?

I didn't do nothing.

I wasn't even there.

Frank:
shut up,

you sap.

What's he done?

Him and his

boyfriend here

Knocked over

a gas station

the other night.

Oh, but

I thought--

Yeah, they caught up

with us, Johnnie.
