:43:39
Lewd and lascivious behavior?
:43:41
What part of Annie's act was
lewd and lascivious?
:43:43
No bare tit, no bush.
Don't get it.
:43:45
It isn't about Annie.
It's about Little Melvin.
:43:48
What?
:43:49
You run numbers,
they turn their backs.
:43:51
Burlesque is an institution
on the block. Fine.
:43:54
But not so fine your partnership
with a dealing schvartzer.
:43:57
I've nothing to do with drugs.
:43:59
You've got a partner that deals.
What the hell is wrong with you?
:44:02
- I'm supposed to kill him?
- Too late for that.
:44:05
- What does that mean?
- I can get you off this charge.
:44:08
Nothing to it. But not the FBI.
:44:11
What?
:44:12
They're gonna charge you
with a violation of the Mann Act.
:44:16
What? What kind of a crazy charge
is that? What is the Mann Act?
:44:20
Transportation across state lines for
illegal sexual activity. Prostitution.
:44:25
Where'd they come up with that?
:44:26
How many girls do you bring
into the state for shows?
:44:29
Who can count?
:44:30
Any one of those girls involved
in prostitution?
:44:33
Who in the hell knows? They could be.
I don't know what they do.
:44:37
They get one of them to testify,
one, and it's goodbye.
:44:42
Do they?
:44:43
They've obviously got someone.
:44:49
Over the years, in my business,
you watch enough shows, you learn.
:44:56
A good performer knows
when to get off the stage.
