- 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...

:28:00
...from state to state.
:28:02
The public is beginning to look upon the
bootlegger as an adventuresome hero...

:28:06
...a modern crusader who deals
in bottles instead of battles.

:28:10
And so, because
of the grotesque situation...

:28:13
...this new kind of army grows and grows...
:28:16
...always gaining new recruits
who care nothing about tomorrow...

:28:19
...just so long as money is easy today.
:28:33
I'll take two dozen of those.
:28:37
- Got a little bad news for you, Eddie.
- Yeah? What?

:28:39
Little price hike.
It's up a dollar a bottle from here in.

:28:42
Oh, you don't say. No kidding.
:28:45
Well, you're not gonna make
a sucker out of me.

:28:47
I can make this tiger-sweat myself.
I've got a bathtub too.

:28:51
Come on, Danny.
:28:55
So long, fellas.
