:26:01
I hope he thinks to sample
what's in my glass.
:26:04
Hey, who owns the car
with the Vermont license on it?
:26:06
I do.
:26:10
Don't you know you're breaking the law
parking your car in front of a fire hydrant?
:26:14
Where do you think you are,
in a little hick town?
:26:16
If you weren't from out of town,
I'd give you a ticket.
:26:19
- Get out there and move it.
- Sorry, officer. I'll move it right away.
:26:25
Hey, Joe.
:26:27
Come on, let's sit down.
:26:29
See, buster, it's easy.
All you gotta do is pay off.
:26:32
- With what?
- Sucker money.
:26:34
Ever since Prohibition, it's been floating
around, waiting to get picked up.
:26:38
- Now, a bright guy like you...
- Look, will you stop conning me?
:26:41
Tell me what goes on. Right now.
:26:43
You've been nice. You took a rap I couldn't
afford. It would've put me out of business.
:26:48
I'd hate to see someone like you
banging his head against a stone wall.
:26:52
The liquor business is gonna grow big,
and it's gonna grow fast.
:26:56
So get in line, buster.
Hack drivers are a dime a dozen.
:26:59
- But you gotta know people.
- I know people.
:27:02
- It takes money.
- I can get it, if you start small.
:27:07
Tell me.
:27:08
What's in this for you?
What's your take?
:27:11
Nothing.
:27:13
That story about the guy
in the cell was a sad one.
:27:17
I'd hate to have somebody
tell me that about you.
:27:19
Why?
:27:23
I once knew a soldier like you
who went to France.
:27:26
He never came back.
:27:28
I never got over it.
:27:30
That's why.
:27:32
Is that all of it?
:27:34
If you don't like that story,
I'll try to think of another one.
:27:38
It'll do for now.
:27:40
And so the Eddie of this story
joins the thousands and thousands...
:27:43
...of other Eddies throughout America.
:27:45
He becomes a part of a criminal army,
an army that was born of a marriage...
:27:50
...between an unpopular law
and an unwilling public.
:27:52
Liquor is the password in this army.
:27:55
And it's a magic password that spells the
dollar sign as it spreads from city to city...
