Calling all cars.
1:14:34
I'm Emmet Ray.
1:14:35
I'm the greatest guitar player
in the world.

1:14:38
Except maybe this gypsy.
1:14:40
Perhaps you heard my recording of
"You Were Meant For Me," RCA Victor.

1:14:45
You were meant for me
1:14:49
That's not what I heard.
1:14:50
That's not what I heard.
1:14:51
But like all Emmet Ray stories...
1:14:54
you never know what's made up,
exaggerated, true.

1:14:57
You never know what to believe.
What I heard was this.

1:15:00
I heard that when they
pulled into the gas station...

1:15:03
Blanche gets out
to get some cigarettes...

1:15:06
and that's
when he confronted them.

1:15:09
How could you? How could you
cheat on me with a bum like that?

1:15:12
Emmet, don't!
1:15:13
Make a fool out of me
in front of everybody!

1:15:15
So I slept with him.
But I was just researching a book!

1:15:18
I loved you!
1:15:21
Don't be crazy. Do something!
1:15:25
I'm sorry. My tire blew out.
1:15:29
Believe me, he never tried to kill
himself, because Emmet Ray was...

1:15:33
He had much too much ego
for anything like that.

1:15:38
A story that Eddie Condon
tells about...

1:15:40
And Eddie Condon definitely
was not a reliable source...

1:15:42
'cause he was
a big embellisher himself.

1:15:45
But the story Eddie Condon tells,
I believe...

1:15:48
is that Torrio was aware...
1:15:51
that the fact that he was a gangster
was a big turn- on for Blanche.

1:15:55
And so he decided...
1:15:56
And so he decided...
1:15:57
that he would
pull into this gas station...
