1:09:14
He was mean, Sam Vettori was.
1:09:17
So now he's got
what was coming to him.

1:09:20
What does it say in the paper?
1:09:23
"Former gang chief
faints on scaffold.

1:09:28
After a futile
battle in the courts...

1:09:30
...Sam Vettori, former gang leader...
1:09:33
...today presented a pitiful figure...
1:09:36
...as the hangman's noose
was placed around his neck."

1:09:43
Listen. "Little Caesar
has never been found.

1:09:47
According to the statement of Lieutenant
Thomas Flaherty of the homicide squad...

1:09:52
...Little Caesar, the once swaggering
braggart of the underworld...

1:09:56
...wilted in the face of real danger
and showed the world his cowardice.

1:10:02
Flaherty stated further that Little Caesar
has contradicted his oft-repeated boast...

1:10:07
...that he could dish it out
and take it too."

1:10:09
Yeah.
1:10:11
"When a real crisis arose...
1:10:13
...Rico couldn't take it.
1:10:15
Flaherty ended his interview
by remarking:

1:10:19
'Meteoric as was Rico's rise
from the gutter...

1:10:23
...it was inevitable that
he should return there.'"

1:10:28
Well, just the same,
he was the real leader of that gang.

1:10:32
Don't you believe it.
1:10:34
Rico didn't have the nerve,
and he didn't have the brains.

1:10:38
He was yellow,
just like Flaherty said.

1:10:41
Here!
1:10:43
- That's what Rico...
- Give me that paper!

1:10:45
Hey, watch it!
1:10:52
- What's the matter with him?
- Must be crazy.
