Does Eddie know that Jean walked out?
1:21:14
I don't think so.
Suppose you tell him.

1:21:18
- Here he is.
- Hey, look...

1:21:20
...how's that booze
I've been peddling? Any good?

1:21:22
- Better than most.
- All right, let's sample a bottle.

1:21:25
No, make it two.
One for you and one for me.

1:21:28
Who can tell? I might like it.
1:21:30
Hey. Come here.
1:21:35
1929. As the dizzy decade nears its end...
1:21:39
...the country is stock-market crazy.
1:21:41
The great and the humble,
the rich man and the working man...

1:21:44
...the housewife and the shopgirl
all take their daily flier in the market...

1:21:49
...and no one seems to lose.
1:21:53
Then, like a bombshell,
comes that never-to-be-forgotten...

1:21:56
...Black Tuesday, October 29th.
1:21:59
Confusion spreads through the canyons
of New York City's financial district.

1:22:02
And men stare wild-eyed
at the spectacle of complete ruin.

1:22:06
More than 16.5 million shares change hands
in a single day of frenzied selling.

1:22:10
The paper fortunes built up
over the past few years...

1:22:13
...crumble into nothing
before this disaster...

1:22:15
...which is to touch every man, woman
and child in America.

1:22:21
Hey, boys!
1:22:30
- Now what do you want?
- I need 200,000 to cover your account.

1:22:34
- I gave you 200 grand.
- I need it again. I'll give you an hour.

1:22:37
- Lf you don't have it, I'll have to sell you out.
- All right, I'll get it.

1:22:44
There you are. That's five more.
1:22:46
You must be sneaking lessons
on the side.

1:22:50
- What, are you still around?
- George, I've got no time to waste.

1:22:54
I need 200 grand.
1:22:55
Yeah? What am I
supposed to do about it?

1:22:57
Will you put away that thing?
1:22:59
Look, I'll sell you 40 percent
of my cab company for 200,000.
