:16:02
- Got a new suit.
- (Laughs)
:16:04
It looks more like the suit got you.
:16:06
- Listen, you...
- You listen for a change.
:16:11
The reason you're alive
and walking around in that... horse blanket
:16:15
isn't because I like you.
:16:17
It's because I can use some guts
in my business.
:16:20
Not guts behind a gun. Anybody's got that.
:16:23
But with the bare mitts.
:16:26
Like I got.
:16:28
There's been too much rough play
in this city and it's unhealthy.
:16:31
It introduces a very bad element,
:16:34
like Louie, see?
:16:36
Take away his rod and what you got left?
:16:38
A violet.
:16:43
What I'm in is a business.
:16:45
And business got to be run business-like.
:16:47
When a customer is late
and a guy like Louie handles him,
:16:51
he discontinues to be a customer.
:16:57
- You think you're tough?
- Tough enough.
:16:59
I could slap you down with one hand.
:17:02
You and who else?
:17:06
All right. I haven't got time now.
You'll find out.
:17:09
In the meanwhile, if you want to do
some collecting, you got a job.
:17:13
I'll give you a few names that are behind,
and if you can collect, you get 20°% .
:17:18
I pay hospital bills, too.
:17:20
Protection, huh?
:17:22
And good protection. If it wasn't for me,
everybody would pick on them.
:17:26
They'd be at the mercy.
:17:28
Now, you start...
:17:30
Yeah. You start with Madame La Jolla.
:17:33
She runs a kind of a fortune-telling parlour.
:17:36
And you tell that old... battle-axe
:17:40
it's 250 or Madame La Jolla
doesn't jolla any more. You get me?
:17:47
I slave and give the best years of my life
to put away a few miserable bucks,
:17:52
and then you bloodsuckers
suck it away from me.
:17:55
You ought to be ashamed of yourself
to goad a poor, honest, old woman.
:17:59
- You got the entirely wrong slant on this.
- No, I haven't.
