To the beauties of St. Louis.
:35:08
- You disapprove of the toast?
- I'm thinking of a better one.

:35:13
If I didn't drink, he might fall in
on Louis for tipping me off.

:35:18
And if I did... But I kept remembering,
Louis had been Johnny's friend.

:35:23
Maybe his only friend.
I needed Louis alive.

:35:27
We await your pleasure.
:35:29
Geronimo!
:35:44
A lovely word, with the added charm
for me of being meaningless.

:35:48
- A St. Louis expression?
- No. Just one I picked up.

:35:52
Your expressions have
the Baretto flavour, almost medieval.

:35:57
Baroque.
:35:59
Mobster, as applied to me,
is more colourful than accurate.

:36:03
I've always had a preference
for legitimate enterprises.

:36:09
With a gambling racket on the side.
:36:12
Scarcely a racket, Mr. Murdock.
:36:14
More for my own amusement
than for profit, as you know.

:36:19
Gambling is illegal, to be sure...
:36:21
...but the city is aware of it
and approves.

:36:25
My house encourages tourists,
pays large taxes...

:36:35
Coming out of it was like
after being tapped on the button.

:36:39
Everything foggy, an anchor
on my head and ringing in my ears.

:36:59
Rip, this is Coral, Dusty.
What happened?
