:05:02
I wish I could help in some way, Sidney.
:05:04
You could help
with two minutes of silence.
:05:08
I hate to see you like this.
If you feel nervous...
:05:11
So what'll you do if I feel nervous?
Open your meaty, sympathetic arms?
:05:15
Oh, Sidney, you got me so...
I don't know what.
:05:30
Sally, you oughta know me by now.
:05:33
- I know ya.
- No, you don't.
:05:38
You think I'm a hero.
:05:40
Well, I'm no hero. I'm nice to people
where it pays me to be nice.
:05:44
I do it enough on the outside,
so don't expect me to do it in my office.
:05:47
I'm in a bind right now with Hunsecker.
:05:50
Maybe I'm dumb, but...
:05:52
why does Mr Hunsecker wanna
squeeze your livelihood away?
:05:57
Why do you stand for
that kind of treatment?
:05:59
He's punishing me. His sister's
having a romance with a guitar player.
:06:03
He asked me to break it up. I thought I did,
but maybe I didn't. Now I gotta go find out.
:06:08
Hunsecker's the golden ladder
to the places I wanna get.
:06:11
Sidney, you make a living.
Where do you wanna get?
:06:15
Way up high, where it's always balmy.
:06:18
Where no one says
"Hey, shrimp, rack the balls."
:06:21
Or "Hey, mouse, go out
and buy me a pack of butts! "
:06:24
I don't want tips from the kitty.
I'm in the big game with the big players.
:06:28
My experience I can give you in a
nutshell, and I didn't dream it either:
:06:31
dog eat dog. In brief, from now on, the
best of everything is good enough for me.
:06:37
Sidney, I'm not trying
to tell you what to do.
:06:40
It's just that it makes me feel bad
when Mr Hunsecker hurts you.
:06:43
Every dog will have his day.
:06:46
If that's for me, tear it up.
:06:50
Sidney Falco office.
:06:53
- Take your topcoat.
- And leave a tip in every hatcheck room?
:06:57
One, two, three, four.
