Sidney lives so much in moral twilight,
1:03:04
that when I said you were
coming here, he predicted disaster.
1:03:07
Said you wouldn't take my favour.
1:03:09
He said you'd chew up the job
and spit it back in my face.
1:03:12
- Any truth in that?
- Since you bring it up...
1:03:15
No, Mr Hunsecker. If I can amplify...
1:03:18
Don't amplify.
1:03:20
Steve would like
to thank you for this favour.
1:03:22
You don't listen very good, do you?
JJ said to keep your mouth shut.
1:03:26
Isn't it time you shut yours? Who are
you to tell Frank D'Angelo to shut up?
1:03:31
Steve, this isn't important.
1:03:33
Does he have to be here?
1:03:35
Why? Has he bothered you before?
1:03:38
- Is it news to you?
- People tell me I'm a very gifted man,
1:03:42
but I still can't see around corners.
1:03:44
Just what exactly are you so hot about?
1:03:47
I know it's difficult to be an artist
in this crudest of all possible worlds...
1:03:51
Look, I'm not here as an artist.
1:03:54
I'm here as an average Joe
who happens to love your sister.
1:03:57
Well, just be careful
you don't knock her off her feet, hm?
1:04:04
Frankly, son, I lost you on that last hill.
Just give us the punch line.
1:04:08
Steve.
1:04:11
There's no punch line.
1:04:13
Maybe I was admiring your
know-how. Yours and Falco's.
1:04:16
Why do you keep
coupling me with Falco?
1:04:19
Why is he here?
1:04:22
Tell me, sir, when he dies do you think
he'll go to the dog and cat heaven?
1:04:26
Let's forget about dogs and cats
and all that pseudo-literary junk.
1:04:30
I'll lay it on the line. What about
that ruckus in my office today?
1:04:34
You were there, Frank. According to
St Dallas, JJ was behind the Elwell smear.
1:04:39
- Don't go wild, Sidney.
- Look at them and tell me who's wild.
1:04:42
- Steve was overexcited. He didn't mean...
- How did you mean it?
1:04:46
Quiet! All of you.
1:04:47
Susie, sit down.
This requires investigation.
1:04:52
How did you mean it?
Come on, I'm waiting.
1:04:56
I don't take kindly to you
and Falco teaching me ethics.
