This is the real stuff.
They can't fool me.

1922.
:29:34
By now, the Prohibition law
is firmly a part of American life...

:29:39
...but so is the evasion of that law.
:29:41
College students, male and female...
:29:43
...and even high-school boys and girls
who never drank before...

:29:47
...find themselves willing and able to buy
hard liquor with the greatest of ease.

:29:51
The hip flask becomes an integral part
of the national scene...

:29:55
...at football games, in automobiles.
:30:01
In the meanwhile,
the supply of good alcohol...

:30:03
...fails to keep up with
the ever-increasing demand for liquor.

:30:06
But in the undercover liquor industry,
crude stills make their appearance.

:30:10
Wood alcohol is recooked, and the product
of this loose and ineffective process...

:30:15
...is put on the market in
a constantly swelling flood.

- Hi, Danny.
- Hi, Danny boy.

:30:28
Hi, Lloyd.
:30:30
Holy smoke, Eddie, another one?
:30:32
Yeah, sure. We'll get more as
fast as Lloyd can pick them up.

:30:35
Soon we'll have so many cabs,
we'll have to pick up passengers again.

:30:38
That might not be a bad idea.
:30:46
- Which one is Bartlett?
- Me. Why?

:30:49
Hally told us to come here and see you.
:30:51
Oh, yeah. When did you get out?
:30:54
Yesterday.
:30:55
- What were you up for?
- Stickup.

:30:57
- You drive?
- Why not?
