0:07:51 > 0:07:53OK, cool off.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02That I like.

0:08:02 > 0:08:07Si'down, Mr Miller. We're both a couple of has-beens...temporarily.

0:08:48 > 0:08:54'A tip by Legs Wheeler, 13 of Murdock's mob are killed. Murdock vows to wipe out Wheeler.'

0:08:54 > 0:08:59I got out of that one too. I had lawyers in those days.

0:08:59 > 0:09:04I jumped bail. That's how come I took my first trip to the Continent.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07I was kind of a talent scout myself.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11'Slim Murdock relaxes on Riviera.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20'While New York Crime Commission seeks his extradition,

0:09:20 > 0:09:25'Slim Murdock puts on weight making whoopie with European beauties.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27'Nice going, Fats!'

0:09:27 > 0:09:32"Fats"! That European coosine and no work put the lard on.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Gave me a moniker I never could lose.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38I had me a time over there.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Then I got lonely for my native land.

0:09:42 > 0:09:48You know, "Breathes there a man with soul so dead..." You know that one?

0:09:48 > 0:09:52My lawyer tells me the heat's off, so I come home.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31The top boy behind the slot machines.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33I should have remembered.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Sorry, Fats.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39HE TRIES TO SPEAK

0:10:40 > 0:10:44It's all right, Tommy boy. It's all right.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48Nobody remembers Fats, no more, Tommy boy.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51But things used to be different.

0:10:51 > 0:10:56I'd drive down those streets and scare people silly. I was somebody.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00I used to get bullet-proof convertibles, ring-side tables,

0:11:00 > 0:11:05best box at the polo grounds, right next to the mayor's, you know?

0:11:05 > 0:11:08I know.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Now I'm so dead, I don't even get a mention in a scandal magazine.

0:11:12 > 0:11:18You used to be a big man. You want to come back, don't you?

0:11:18 > 0:11:22I can't go back any further. So we're in business, right? Right.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25What business? Show business.

0:11:25 > 0:11:30I got a dame, see? Nice, sweet, innocent dame.

0:11:30 > 0:11:35But she's a nobody. How can I marry a nobody? You saw her.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39I was up there once. That's where you come in.

0:11:39 > 0:11:45You're gonna make her into a star. Then the dame and me, we're compatible.

0:11:45 > 0:11:52For openers, I pay all your bills, so you can concentrate on building the dame into a big canary.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56Only remember - hands off, like you got the rep for.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01You'll take me out of hock? 10 Gs now. Advance against your 10%.

0:12:01 > 0:12:07A drawn account for songs, special materials, special arrangements, etc, etc, etc.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10It's a deal? It's a deal.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Signed, sealed and now...delivered!

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Hey, Mousey! Yeah, boss.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Bring in my future star! Yeah, boss.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24Easy, Fats, you just can't take any girl and make her a star.

0:12:24 > 0:12:29You've done it before... Not me, Fats. The girls had talent.

0:12:29 > 0:12:37I've met guys like you. They think a dame has something special, but usually she's got nothing.

0:12:37 > 0:12:43I could lie to you, Fats. Take your 10 grand, go through the motions. I can't do it.

0:12:43 > 0:12:48Call it integrity, or some other dirty word, but I can't do it.

0:12:48 > 0:12:52The girl would know I wasn't interested.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56I won't embarrass her. I'll beat it before she shows.

0:13:10 > 0:13:16Very much. Tommy boy, I'm putting her in your hands, figuratively speaking.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19You got six weeks to have her a star.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23The first thing... Six weeks! Easy, it takes time.

0:13:23 > 0:13:27Rome wasn't built in a day. She ain't Rome.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Honey, this is no place to start.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17Bottle it. You got another fortune. I'm glad you like it.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21I like it but... I'm a little confused.

0:20:21 > 0:20:26Who isn't? You know, sometimes I think I'm mixed up.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30I mean, if you like keeping house, why a maid?

0:20:30 > 0:20:35Mr Murdock doesn't want me to work. He says I have to BE a career.

0:20:35 > 0:20:41Have to be? Most pretty girls WANT careers. Pretty!

0:20:41 > 0:20:45You should see me without make-up. I'll show you some time.

0:20:45 > 0:20:51Pretty is how good you apply your base. You don't want a career?

0:20:51 > 0:20:54I just wanna be a wife.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Have kids.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00But everyone figures me for a sexpot.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04No-one thinks I'm equipped for motherhood.

0:21:06 > 0:21:07# Ready, set

0:21:07 > 0:21:08# Go man, go

0:21:08 > 0:21:11# I've got a girl that I love so

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Mr Miller? Yes.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46Why must I keep my stole on in here?

0:21:46 > 0:21:49It's the first step in your build-up.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53You're building me up? I'll explain later.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55# ..Are heading from the gym To the society ball

0:22:37 > 0:22:40It depends on strategy.

0:22:40 > 0:22:47If I told the owner I had a sensational performer, he has to figure I'm axe-grinding for my 10%.

0:22:47 > 0:22:52But if I DON'T try to sell him, he sees her, he flips,

0:22:52 > 0:22:54and he comes to me to check on her.

0:22:54 > 0:22:59I don't see anybody flipping or checking. You will.

0:22:59 > 0:23:04Take your stole off and go to the powder room. Powder room?

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Just visit a while.

0:23:07 > 0:23:12But walk by the reservation desk - that's where the owner hangs out.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15On your way.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Seems awfully silly, Mr Miller.

0:23:20 > 0:23:25Operation Powder Room in operation. Yes, sir!

0:23:25 > 0:23:27# Looking so pretty And this is what I say

0:24:12 > 0:24:14# Aaaaa-ah.... #

0:24:21 > 0:24:25It seems silly. I gave the powder room lady a quarter - what for?

0:24:25 > 0:24:31Listen. Don't say anything except, "Ask my agent." "Ask my agent"?

0:24:31 > 0:24:35No matter what anyone says, you say, "Ask my agent."

0:24:35 > 0:24:39Hi, Tom, haven't seen you lately. How's Julie London?

0:25:06 > 0:25:10Hey, Tom - you sell her anywhere else, and you're barred from here.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14You couldn't meet her price, Lucas.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17She's got it all.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20# I wanna kiss

0:36:22 > 0:36:25Tell him to come to Long Island tomorrow.

0:36:25 > 0:36:29Never mind. You better call Jerri. Why?

0:36:29 > 0:36:32Something's wrong.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38Off to the powder room.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41Poor kid.

0:36:49 > 0:36:54What do you mean, "What does she do?" Listen, Rodgers, she sings.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15Tom Miller pubbed it with a new find.

0:37:15 > 0:37:19Her name is a secret but the rest of her isn't.

0:37:19 > 0:37:23I saw her yesterday. She's something!

0:37:23 > 0:37:25She's a girl, Barry. Just a girl.

0:37:25 > 0:37:29If she's a girl, then I don't know what my sister is!

0:37:32 > 0:37:35CAR HORN TOOTS OUTSIDE

0:37:36 > 0:37:40You ready up there? I'm ready!

0:37:40 > 0:37:43Oh, hi, how are you, sonny?

0:37:43 > 0:37:47"Sonny". That's what makes juvenile delinquent.

0:37:49 > 0:37:53Leave the papers here, Barry. Listen, Mr Miller.

0:37:53 > 0:37:59Take me on for a client. That would impress her. I can sing, honest!

0:37:59 > 0:38:02Sorry, Barry, I got my hands full.

0:38:02 > 0:38:06There's gotta be an answer to that.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16He has a place out here, too?

0:38:16 > 0:38:20It used to be the casino. He likes it because of the memories.

0:38:20 > 0:38:24The old ancestral home, huh? Mr Murdock wasn't born there.

0:38:24 > 0:38:31But most of his best friends were killed there, you know, in police raids and everything.

0:38:32 > 0:38:36Don't worry, Mr Murdock put new carpets in all over.

0:38:45 > 0:38:49Well, how's this for a picnic?

0:38:49 > 0:38:53Picnic? It's a surprise! I'll get the lunch.

0:38:53 > 0:38:57Won't Fats be surprised? He's expecting us.

0:38:57 > 0:39:02We have lots of time. You get the basket, I'll undress.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05Undress? Wait a minute.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22There are blankets in here, too.

0:39:22 > 0:39:27Blankets? To sit on! Come on, bring the lunch.

0:39:31 > 0:39:33If I have the strength.

0:39:53 > 0:39:57My mother would say, "Be nice to Mr Murdock, Georgiana."

0:39:57 > 0:40:02My father would say the same, so I'm nice to Mr Murdock.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05Georgiana. I like that.

0:40:05 > 0:40:09Now I'm a Jerri. You think a boy's name fits me?

0:40:10 > 0:40:12Hardly.

0:40:12 > 0:40:16I sure don't think it does. You like how I fry fried chicken?

0:40:16 > 0:40:19Delicious.

0:40:19 > 0:40:24Yesterday you wanted me to bottle everything.

0:40:24 > 0:40:26OK, bottle it!

0:40:27 > 0:40:32When did you first meet Fat... Mr Murdock?

0:40:32 > 0:40:36I was just a kid. You know, young, but developed early.

0:40:36 > 0:40:41Where did you meet him? In Atlanta, on visiting days.

0:40:41 > 0:40:46At the penitentiary? Mm-hmm. I went there with my father.

0:40:46 > 0:40:51You see, Mr Murdock and my father were former business associates.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53I'm afraid it's just lemonade.

0:40:53 > 0:40:58Not that frozen stuff. I squeezed fresh lemons early this morning.

0:40:58 > 0:41:03Early, before you had your base on? I was a mess!

0:41:03 > 0:41:05I don't believe it.

0:41:05 > 0:41:09Then when did you and Murdock get together again?

0:41:09 > 0:41:15He's finally got out of jail. Now I could visit my father for a change.

0:41:15 > 0:41:21But I'd grown up. One night Mr Murdock looked at me funny and it happened. I see.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24Oh, nothing like that.

0:41:24 > 0:41:28Mr Murdock looked at me funny and said he was falling in love with me.

0:41:28 > 0:41:33I said I was the first girl he'd made a pass at since he got out.

0:41:33 > 0:41:39He said, no, he really did love me, and he was going to make me a somebody.

0:41:39 > 0:41:43We better go now. I'm sorry, I talk so much.

0:41:43 > 0:41:49It was very interesting, Georgiana. A love story always is. Love story? I owe him.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51Owe him?

0:41:51 > 0:41:57For my father. Like I told you, they were business associates.

0:41:57 > 0:42:02If it wasn't for Mr Murdock, my father would have got life, not ten years.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13SHOTS FIRE

0:42:13 > 0:42:15What was that?!

0:42:15 > 0:42:20It's just the exhaust from a fishing boat.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23Don't be so nervous, Mr Miller!

0:42:23 > 0:42:26If it's what I'm thinking...

0:42:37 > 0:42:39GUN FIRES

0:42:39 > 0:42:43You haven't lost the old pitchin' arm, boss.

0:42:43 > 0:42:48- Ain't they supposed to be here? - Don't worry about Jerri.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51She's always on the dot.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53(She'd better be.)

0:42:54 > 0:42:58Legs Wheeler tipped off the cops. It was a massacre.

0:42:58 > 0:43:03Pittsburgh Phil got it right here, next to shot-gun Shortie.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06Oh, yeah, Baby Face Ranaldi.

0:43:06 > 0:43:10This is where he got blasted, right through the hat band.

0:43:10 > 0:43:13That makes 13, don't it?

0:43:13 > 0:43:17I stopped counting with Mugsy The Mugger. Oh, Mugsy.

0:43:17 > 0:43:22Nice guy. Looked like a sieve. He got it right where you're sitting.

0:43:22 > 0:43:26You need a refill. You know something, Tommy boy?

0:43:26 > 0:43:31I could run guided tours through this joint! Ha-ha-ha!

0:43:33 > 0:43:38It's kind of a educational, kind of historical kind of place.

0:43:38 > 0:43:42It's not one of them "George Washington slept here" places.

0:43:42 > 0:43:46But the guys that slept here really slept here, huh? Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:43:48 > 0:43:49Hey!

0:43:49 > 0:43:52Jerri! Yes.

0:43:52 > 0:43:56I told you before. No apron!

0:43:56 > 0:43:59I was just fixing crepes suzette, Mr Murdock.

0:43:59 > 0:44:03Well, stop fixing - they're fattening!

0:44:03 > 0:44:07Dumb broad! All she thinks of is cooking.

0:44:07 > 0:44:12How can you make a star with a waistline full of calories?

0:44:12 > 0:44:15I'm not gonna make her a star, Fats.

0:44:15 > 0:44:17You're not what?

0:44:17 > 0:44:22I want out of the deal, Fats. Get yourself another agent.

0:44:22 > 0:44:26I got myself an agent. Be reasonable, Fats.

0:44:26 > 0:44:30She isn't interested in a career. You just said so yourself.

0:44:30 > 0:44:37If a girl's gonna make it big in show business, she's got to be... vitally interested in it.

0:44:37 > 0:44:40"Vitally", huh?

0:44:40 > 0:44:44Hey, Mousey! Yeah, boss. Turn 'em loose!

0:44:44 > 0:44:47At night, boss? You can't see!

0:44:47 > 0:44:50Turn 'em loose!

0:44:55 > 0:44:59It don't matter she ain't vitally interested.

0:44:59 > 0:45:03Just make her into a star, like you did with, er... What's her name?

0:45:03 > 0:45:08Julie London. You remember her, don't you?

0:45:08 > 0:45:12You know me, vague on names. I'll help you.

0:45:12 > 0:45:16Julie went for you. All the singing she wanted was lullabies.

0:45:16 > 0:45:21But you were an eager agent, pushing her into a career she didn't want.

0:45:21 > 0:45:26Personally, I think you made a mistake. She was a good-looking dame.

0:45:26 > 0:45:32But she's a big record name now. So where's the "vitally interested"?

0:45:32 > 0:45:35Shooting a little low, aren't you, Fats?

0:45:35 > 0:45:40Just conversation. The point is, you did it with Julie.

0:45:40 > 0:45:44I like the way you did it with Jerri, doing that night club crawl.

0:45:44 > 0:45:49You're a real live wire, Miller.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51Let 'em loose, Mousey!

0:45:53 > 0:45:55GUN SHOTS

0:45:55 > 0:45:59And you want to stay a live wire.

0:46:16 > 0:46:20"CRY ME A RIVER" ON JUKE BOX

0:46:27 > 0:46:32Turn that thing off, will you? What's up, don't you like that song?

0:46:32 > 0:46:36No, I don't like it.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40I'll tell you why.

0:46:40 > 0:46:45Cos every time she sings it, I see her all over the place.

0:46:45 > 0:46:49Most of my customers see little green men. I see HER.

0:46:49 > 0:46:53Everywhere I look, I see her.

0:46:55 > 0:46:59You wanna bet she's sitting on the stool right here?

0:46:59 > 0:47:01Hiya, Julie.

0:47:01 > 0:47:05MUSIC CONTINUES

0:47:05 > 0:47:07Julie?

0:47:10 > 0:47:13Julie!

0:47:14 > 0:47:17She's gone.

0:47:28 > 0:47:31Georgie. Georgie? But you said Julie, pal.

0:47:31 > 0:47:35No. It's Georgie.

0:47:36 > 0:47:39Georgiana.

0:48:11 > 0:48:14# Be bop a lula She's my baby

0:48:14 > 0:48:18# Be bop a lula I don't mean maybe

0:48:18 > 0:48:22# Be bop a lula She-e-e's my baby doll

0:48:22 > 0:48:25# My baby doll, my baby doll

0:48:25 > 0:48:30# Well, she's the gal In the ripped blue jeans

0:48:30 > 0:48:33# She's the queen of all the teens

0:49:36 > 0:49:40You'll have no trouble with me, Mr Miller.

0:49:40 > 0:49:46You vocalise, I'll find your range, then we can have arrangements made. Ready?

0:49:46 > 0:49:49I'm ready. I'm ready, except...

0:49:49 > 0:49:53Except what? Except...

0:49:53 > 0:49:56What happened, Mr Miller? What do you mean?

0:49:56 > 0:50:00You're so different today. We're here to work, Jerri.

0:50:00 > 0:50:05It's Jerri, not Georgiana any more. What did you two talk about?

0:50:05 > 0:50:10Nothing. Mostly about the mortuary he had in his living room.

0:50:10 > 0:50:13I saw your face when he was shooting.

0:50:13 > 0:50:17Nothing, Jerri! Call me Georgie, please.

0:50:17 > 0:50:20I thought we were friends.

0:50:20 > 0:50:25I had fun with you and I thought you were having fun with me, too.

0:50:31 > 0:50:36I have no friends here except Mousey, and he's afraid of...

0:50:36 > 0:50:40You're afraid of him, too. What did he say?

0:50:40 > 0:50:47He didn't say. I did. I told him I wanted out. You're not interested in show business.

0:50:47 > 0:50:52I didn't want to be part of making you anything you didn't want to be.

0:50:52 > 0:50:57That was nice of you to think of me. Whatever it was, it didn't work. Ready?

0:50:57 > 0:51:04He got tough, didn't he? Look, I don't want Fats to have to buy another carpet on account of me.

0:51:06 > 0:51:10You're going to be Jerri Jordan, singer, darling of the juke boxes,

0:51:10 > 0:51:14whether you want to be, or whether I want you to be.

0:53:04 > 0:53:10She'll be on every juke box I put a dime in, and I got lots o' dimes for putting in!

0:53:10 > 0:53:16Speaking has nothing to do with her singing voice. I'm telling you, she can't sing.

0:56:40 > 0:56:44I can give you the dialogue: "OK, so Jerri can't sing.

0:56:44 > 0:56:49"Well, that guy ain't got a trained voice, either, and he's a star.

0:56:49 > 0:56:54"Why? Because he has a new sound. So Jerri has a new sound.

0:56:54 > 0:56:59"Go cut a record with her tomorrow." You're kidding, Mr Miller.

0:57:01 > 0:57:04Am I? Listen.

0:57:10 > 0:57:14Yes, Fats. 'OK. So Jerri can't sing.'

0:57:30 > 0:57:32OK, Fats.

0:57:39 > 0:57:41OK, Fats.

0:57:42 > 0:57:48I had a lot of leesure when I was in the poky, so I wrote songs for the Christmas show.

0:57:48 > 0:57:52Course, I ain't no Hammerstein, or Irving Berlin!

0:57:52 > 0:57:55This here was the first one I wrote.

0:57:55 > 0:58:00"No lights on the Christmas tree. They're using the electric chair tonight."

0:58:00 > 0:58:04I used to get a lot of laughs with that one. Funny(!)

0:58:04 > 0:58:08Here's another one. Kinda...sentimental.

0:58:08 > 0:58:14"I'll get no good behaviour, baby If I keep thinking of you."

0:58:14 > 0:58:17That's sweet. Hey, you noticed that, huh?

1:00:51 > 1:00:55I never knew singing could make you so hungry. Ha-ha-ha!

1:00:55 > 1:00:58I'll take it to Wheeler Enterprises in Chicago.

1:00:58 > 1:01:05I wish it was her day off - I'd have made much better sandwiches. Huh-huh!

1:01:07 > 1:01:11Thanks. Hu-hmm! It's a large family.

1:01:11 > 1:01:15I see how you got your cooking experience.

1:01:15 > 1:01:18Mmmm? Oh, ha-ha!

1:01:18 > 1:01:23And my father was...away when that picture was taken.

1:01:23 > 1:01:26Oh, he was a big eater, too.

1:01:26 > 1:01:33You know, Mr Miller. This'll be the first Thanksgiving I haven't been with my family.

1:01:33 > 1:01:36Could my brothers eat?!

1:01:36 > 1:01:42Especially after they started going with girls - it gives a man an appetite.

1:01:46 > 1:01:49It depends.

1:01:49 > 1:01:54I'd like a large family, wouldn't you, Mr Miller? I hope I have a large fam...

1:02:01 > 1:02:04I mean, it's fun.

1:02:05 > 1:02:11Maybe we could have Thanksgiving dinner together, Mr Miller. Maybe we can, Georgie.

1:02:21 > 1:02:25Good night, Georgie.

1:02:40 > 1:02:41Ooooh!

1:02:43 > 1:02:46BUZZER SOUNDS Mr Miller!

1:03:01 > 1:03:03Jerri!

1:03:07 > 1:03:10BUZZER SOUNDS

1:03:10 > 1:03:13Jerri!

1:03:13 > 1:03:16HE HOLDS BUZZER DOWN

1:03:19 > 1:03:20Jerri!

1:03:20 > 1:03:22Who is it?

1:03:22 > 1:03:27It's me, Fats. I'm taking a bath. Huh! Ow!

1:03:27 > 1:03:31What? A hot bath. Be right there.

1:03:31 > 1:03:36Remember. You stay in the hideout room until I get her out.

1:03:36 > 1:03:40Pretty sneaky. It's like you don't trust her.

1:03:40 > 1:03:46It's her AND him. She's a good cook, and I got a feelin' something's cookin'.

1:03:51 > 1:03:58Hey, Mousey, remember the old days? We used to use this place for printing up money?

1:04:00 > 1:04:03Money meant something in the old days, before taxes.

1:04:10 > 1:04:14I'm sorry, I couldn't hear anything in the shower. It's all right.

1:04:14 > 1:04:17Happy Thanksgiving.

1:04:20 > 1:04:25Hey! You smell good! Ha-ha-ha. Thanks, Mr Murdock.

1:04:25 > 1:04:30I'm buying you a turkey dinner, you'd like that? I'd...love it.

1:04:30 > 1:04:35Get dressed up warm, I got the top down. Go on, honey. Be right back.

1:04:45 > 1:04:49You bug her telephone and listen in if he calls.

1:04:50 > 1:04:53Now, remember, quiet!

1:04:54 > 1:04:57PLATE FALLS LOUDLY ON SHELF

1:05:06 > 1:05:09TELEPHONE RINGS

1:05:13 > 1:05:14Hello.

1:05:14 > 1:05:17WOMAN'S VOICE: 'Miss Jerri Jordan?' Yes.

1:05:17 > 1:05:20'Chicago calling. Go ahead, sir.'

1:05:20 > 1:05:22Hello?

1:05:22 > 1:05:25Georgie. How are you?

1:05:25 > 1:05:28Fine now.

1:05:28 > 1:05:32I thought you'd be back in time for Thanksgiving.

1:05:32 > 1:05:34I didn't see Wheeler yet.

1:05:34 > 1:05:39He controls most of the juke boxes in the country. I see him tomorrow.

1:05:39 > 1:05:44I miss you, Mr Miller. It's been over a week.

1:05:44 > 1:05:47I miss you too, Georgie.

1:05:48 > 1:05:51'What'd you do today?'

1:05:51 > 1:05:55Mr Murdock took me to dinner. How is Fats?

1:05:55 > 1:05:58He's dying to hear the new record.

1:05:58 > 1:06:05If I'm lucky, he'll hear it over all those juke boxes he has all those dimes to put in.

1:06:05 > 1:06:10'I wish you were here.' 'I do too, Georgie.'

1:06:10 > 1:06:13I'll fly back after I see the man.

1:06:13 > 1:06:16'Good night, Georgie.' TEARFULLY: Good night, Mr Miller.

1:06:29 > 1:06:32SOBBING COMES THROUGH BUGGING DEVICE

1:06:36 > 1:06:39HE STARTS TO SOB

1:06:51 > 1:06:52Mousey!

1:06:52 > 1:06:55Yeah, boss. Come here!

1:06:55 > 1:06:59Well, how d'you make out? What do you think?

1:06:59 > 1:07:04How many years I been doing this? So did Miller call?

1:07:04 > 1:07:08Yeah, he called, from Chicago. Had a nice little talk.

1:07:08 > 1:07:12"Nice little talk." I'll bet!

1:07:12 > 1:07:14Set up the tape!

1:07:17 > 1:07:20'Hello. Miss Jerri Jordan? Yes.

1:07:20 > 1:07:23'Chicago calling. Go ahead, sir.

1:07:23 > 1:07:26'Hello? How are you?

1:07:26 > 1:07:30'Fine. I thought you'd be back by now.

1:07:30 > 1:07:37'I didn't see Wheeler yet. He's the guy who controls most of the juke boxes in the country.

1:07:37 > 1:07:41'I'll see him tomorrow, then I'll fly back afterwards.

1:07:41 > 1:07:46'Well, good night. Good night, Mr Miller.'

1:07:49 > 1:07:52That's it? That's all?!

1:07:52 > 1:07:56You heard, didn't you? Yeah, I heard.

1:07:56 > 1:08:01Something's wrong. I know I figured right.

1:08:01 > 1:08:05Hey! Hey!

1:08:05 > 1:08:09Could they have figured the joint was rigged?

1:08:09 > 1:08:14How could they? You think I'm called Mousey because I make noises?

1:08:14 > 1:08:17OK, OK. OK nothing, where do you come off?

1:08:17 > 1:08:20That's a smear on my talents. All right.

1:08:20 > 1:08:23How about the time I bugged the DA? All right.

1:08:23 > 1:08:29The time I bugged the governor's mother-in-law?! OK! Stop bragging!

1:08:29 > 1:08:31I don't get it.

1:08:31 > 1:08:36Why was he so happy over the fact that she can't sing, huh?

1:08:36 > 1:08:42Only one reason - cos he figured, if she didn't make it, I wouldn't marry her.

1:08:42 > 1:08:44Then HE'd move in.

1:08:44 > 1:08:46They...

1:08:47 > 1:08:51They... They gotta be soft-talking each other!

1:08:51 > 1:08:55You heard. Yeah.

1:08:55 > 1:08:58Yeah, I heard!

1:08:58 > 1:09:00I'm...

1:11:27 > 1:11:29MUSIC STOPS

1:11:29 > 1:11:35I'm a Ray Anthony fan. Fortunately I have him under personal contract.

1:11:37 > 1:11:42By the way, what sort of gadget did Ray use for that weird siren sound?

1:11:42 > 1:11:45Sort of a girl-type gadget.

1:11:45 > 1:11:49A girl? Oh, she's your client?

1:11:49 > 1:11:52Well, yes she is, Mr Wheeler.

1:11:52 > 1:11:57I shouldn't have wasted your time, but I wanted to come to the top.

1:11:57 > 1:12:02She's, er, excellent. Voice like that'll catch on. She'll be a star.

1:12:02 > 1:12:07I definitely want to sign her to a long-term contract.

1:12:07 > 1:12:11Mmmm. I like the song, also. Who wrote it?

1:12:11 > 1:12:15The name's Murdock. He's got a cell full of 'em.

1:12:15 > 1:12:19He has the...feel of what people want. Is he your client, too?

1:12:19 > 1:12:25No, he handles himself. He's Fats Murdock... if your memory isn't vague.

1:12:25 > 1:12:29My memory's anything but vague, Mr Miller.

1:12:29 > 1:12:36You mean "Marty" Fats Murdock? Yes, the slot machine king of the old days.

1:12:36 > 1:12:38Uh-huh.

1:12:40 > 1:12:44'Yes, Mr Wheeler.' Send Laurence and Eugene in, please.

1:12:55 > 1:12:58Would you like dinner, sir?

1:13:05 > 1:13:09Georgia, I'm not that sick. I don't have to be in bed.

1:13:09 > 1:13:14You haven't eaten. It will give you strength.

1:13:14 > 1:13:18When I think of them throwing you out that doo...

1:13:18 > 1:13:21Go away, Mr Murdock, Mr Miller's sick.

1:13:21 > 1:13:25He's gonna be a lot sicker when I'm finished. On your feet!

1:13:25 > 1:13:29Fats, listen. I just happened to drop in.

1:13:29 > 1:13:35Just dropped in, with a pair of pyjamas under your arms? Leave him alone.

1:13:35 > 1:13:40Take that apron off! I needed it to heat the bouillon! Shut up!

1:13:40 > 1:13:44Don't you hit him and don't tear my pyjamas.

1:13:44 > 1:13:49YOUR pyjamas? Do I look like I wear striped pyjamas?

1:13:49 > 1:13:52YOUR pyjamas!

1:13:52 > 1:13:56Just in case you get some late callers, huh?

1:13:56 > 1:14:00They are not. You have a big, fat, dirty mind, Mr Murdock.

1:14:00 > 1:14:03I have, huh? Dirty mind, dirty mind.

1:14:03 > 1:14:07They're my brother's Christmas present. Don't give me that!

1:14:07 > 1:14:10I'll show you, Mr Murdock.

1:14:10 > 1:14:15Leave them. I've never seen her mad before. Maybe she'll kill him.

1:14:15 > 1:14:20..for brother George. And this... for brother Gilbert. OK!

1:14:22 > 1:14:26I believe you! ..for brother Gridley. OK!

1:14:27 > 1:14:32For brother Gayman. OK! For brother Ambrose! OK.

1:14:34 > 1:14:39And this...for my father. Now are you satisfied, Mr Murdock?!

1:14:39 > 1:14:45OK on the pyjamas, but that don't explain him in your bed,

1:14:45 > 1:14:49no matter whose pyjamas he's in there with!

1:14:49 > 1:14:52OK, let me at him. Listen, you...

1:14:52 > 1:14:56I was just giving him bouillon, you dumb dummy!

1:14:56 > 1:14:59Don't you dumb, dumb, dummy me!

1:14:59 > 1:15:04I was just giving him bouillon. Don't you know what bouillon is?

1:15:04 > 1:15:06Aaaagh!

1:15:08 > 1:15:11That's it, Fats.

1:15:11 > 1:15:15Wheeler predicted Jerri'd be a star right off.

1:15:15 > 1:15:20But when I told him you'd written the song, he introduced me to...

1:15:20 > 1:15:23Lawrence and Eugene. Lawrence and Eugene?!

1:15:23 > 1:15:27That's Larry the Fink and Edgewater Eugene.

1:15:27 > 1:15:33Legs Wheeler still makes with the fancy words, huh? Fancy words with old-time action.

1:15:33 > 1:15:38Legs had top slots in all the joints. I threw his out and moved mine in.

1:15:38 > 1:15:42Hey! Does he still walk with a limp?

1:15:42 > 1:15:44I didn't notice.

1:15:44 > 1:15:49I winged him in the shinbone once. He was on crutches for months!

1:15:49 > 1:15:52He's off crutches now. Fats, we're dead.

1:15:52 > 1:15:56He controls the juke-box business, and that's that.

1:15:56 > 1:16:02You give up too easy. I told you, he used to control the slots until I took over.

1:16:02 > 1:16:05I did it before and I'll do it again!

1:16:05 > 1:16:09You put my father's nightie on backwards!

1:16:09 > 1:16:11Don't bother me. I'm thinking.

1:16:11 > 1:16:15Don't stretch it. My father's not as FAT as you.

1:16:15 > 1:16:18Clam up, will you?! I'm thinking!

1:16:18 > 1:16:21Don't you yell at me any more, Mr Murdock.

1:16:24 > 1:16:27OK.

1:16:27 > 1:16:31So Legs Wheeler won't put Jerri's record on, huh?

1:16:31 > 1:16:34No wonder. I stink!

1:16:34 > 1:16:36All right, Mousey. We go!

1:16:36 > 1:16:40Where to, boss? To war. A cold, hot war.

1:16:40 > 1:16:43Order your wedding dress, baby.

1:16:43 > 1:16:46It won't be long now. Come on!

1:16:53 > 1:16:55Boss! Yeah?

1:16:55 > 1:16:57Your hat! Come on.

1:17:19 > 1:17:22What'll you have, gentlemen?

1:17:30 > 1:17:33Who are you getting your music from?

1:17:33 > 1:17:36Oh, that's a Wheeler Enterprises juke box, mister.

1:17:36 > 1:17:38BOTH: Oh, yeah?

1:17:49 > 1:17:51I take from Wheeler.

1:17:51 > 1:17:53Who?

1:17:53 > 1:17:55Whom?

1:17:55 > 1:17:58I take from...Murdock.

1:18:07 > 1:18:09Oh, yeah?

1:18:48 > 1:18:53Keep us out of the record business, will he? You did it. Made a star.

1:18:55 > 1:18:57Yeah.

1:18:58 > 1:19:01Yeah, I made a star.

1:19:01 > 1:19:04That's what you wanted, wasn't it?

1:19:04 > 1:19:06Yeah. That's what I wanted.

1:19:11 > 1:19:16Now you got a somebody to marry. Clam up, will ya, Mousey?

1:19:16 > 1:19:20Why are you getting sore? "Why are you getting sore?"

1:19:20 > 1:19:23Why do you suppose I'm getting sore?!

1:19:23 > 1:19:28I like music. And I'm marrying a dame with a stinking voice like that.

1:19:30 > 1:19:33How many juke boxes did Mr Murdock remove?

1:19:33 > 1:19:39Most of them around New York. Now he's making inroads in Boston, Baltimore...

1:19:39 > 1:19:42Pittsburgh... That's far enough.

1:19:42 > 1:19:47You proceed with our legal case. I know where I can find Mr Murdock.
