:43:01
Hello.
:43:02
Oh, Eddie, I can pick up five more cabs
for you, but it'll take straight cash.

:43:06
What do we use? Cigar-store coupons?
Get them.

:43:08
This is where we take orders for the booze.
I'll show you where we make it.

:43:11
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

:43:15
This is a still.
:43:17
Some of the alcohol we get around here
is not so good, so we recook it.

:43:20
Jiggers here is making Scotch.
:43:22
A little alcohol, a little water,
a little color, a little flavor.

:43:25
Tonight we deliver it at six bucks
a quart. Costs half a buck.

:43:30
Louie here's an artist.
:43:31
He gives it that saltwater smell.
You know, right off the boat?

:43:34
- Smell it up good, Louie.
- Right.

:43:36
- Hi, Danny.
- Hello, Eddie.

:43:38
- Hello, Mineola.
- Hello.

:43:40
- Where's your manners?
- Hello, Miss Mineola.

:43:42
No. The dicer. The skimmer.
:43:44
Excuse me.
:43:46
Hello.
:43:47
This is the deluxe department.
The boy here is making champagne.

:43:51
Tonight, it will be delivered
at the best circles. Fifteen bucks a quart.

:43:54
- Is it real champagne?
- No, it's diluted New Jersey applejack.

:43:58
The chumps will think it's vintage stuff
off the boat, bottled in France.

:44:01
It's kind of cheating, isn't it?
:44:03
Cheating? Yes, if you get caught.
But you don't get caught if you...

:44:07
...take care of the right people.
And this is big business. Very big business.

:44:20
Hello, Eddie.
How about a drink?

:44:22
Not during office hours.
:44:24
How are you?
:44:25
- Hello, Ed. How are you?
- Hello, Eddie.

:44:31
- What's the...? Hi.
- When you're told to do something...

:44:34
...why don't you do it? Instead of sitting
around drinking rotgut you're to sell.

:44:38
I did it, Eddie. I got the joint jammed
with professional applauders.

:44:41
Two bucks a head and drinks.
:44:42
One of the guys even brought
a dishpan to pound on.

:44:45
Throw him out.
We need to keep this thing smart.

:44:48
Tell these monkeys if they sit
on their hands, I'll chop them off.

:44:51
You hear? Now, go on, get moving.
:44:53
For the last time, I'm telling you,
ginger ale is cheaper than liquor.

:44:56
Mix them accordingly.
:44:58
Is this kid a draw or isn't she? You haven't
had such a crowd since you opened.
