00:00:30Let's go.
00:01:00Swing easy, then.
00:01:01All right, come on, let's go.
00:01:02Come on, let's see it.
00:01:03And what are you backing up for?
00:01:04Who are you waving at?
00:01:06And what are you practicing to be a wrestler?
00:01:07What is that, a hundred-yard dash?
00:01:09What a sad case.
00:01:10Hey, Glumpy, why don't you get me a partner in a little spa?
00:01:13Champ, you don't know a spa partner will get in a ring, would you?
00:01:16The minute they're in their row.
00:01:17Yeah, pretty tough, I guess.
00:01:19Well, you'll hit that kid from the west side so hard,
00:01:21you'll knock it from the north side to the south side.
00:01:23Get in there and give him a few rounds.
00:01:25Hey, classical rider.
00:01:27Get up on your feet.
00:01:28All right, but take it easy.
00:01:29Hey, Muggs, you know him, your pal.
00:01:30Just throw a few jabs at me, that's what I got to rehearse with.
00:01:32All right, take it easy, Bill.
00:01:34Hey, come on.
00:01:34Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:01:36Hey, cut out the fisticuffs, especially you, Muggs.
00:01:40I want to rehearse a little more.
00:01:42He's got a very important fight tomorrow night.
00:01:43Yeah, yeah, I know, but listen here.
00:01:45There's a brand new pool player down at Nick's.
00:01:47Boy, he's just loaded with that stuff called money.
00:01:50And, buddy, he's just dying for somebody to come and take it away from him.
00:01:53Easy picking, sir.
00:01:54Yes, ma'am.
00:01:55What's the last name?
00:01:56I didn't get his name, but it sounded like something like Harry.
00:01:59Look, I want you to go in there and fight a couple more rounds.
00:02:02Yeah, yeah, I want you in shape tomorrow night.
00:02:03Muggs is in great shape.
00:02:04You're in great shape, aren't you, Muggs?
00:02:05Shut up, cock.
00:02:06I am the manager.
00:02:07I'll tell the one he's in shape.
00:02:08Quit the gargling, Glimpy.
00:02:09The fight's tomorrow night.
00:02:11The Reddy Cash is waiting now.
00:02:12Besides, a fighter needs some rest and relaxation, don't he?
00:02:14Boys, get my pool room formal.
00:02:16Why don't you put on your socks?
00:02:17No shape on.
00:02:18Hey, Danny's got that phony chalk.
00:02:21Where is Danny, anyway?
00:02:22You ought to know.
00:02:23Ivy's your sister.
00:02:24First thing you know, Danny will be your brother in there.
00:02:25If anybody that marries my sister has to lick me first.
00:02:43We still haven't got that right.
00:02:45Will you show me how you do it?
00:02:46Hey, kids, why don't you put this in your routine?
00:02:50Hey, Danny!
00:02:51Hey, what's cooking up there?
00:02:55Maybe he's up there doing a Kazatsky with your sister.
00:02:57Kazatsky, my front plate.
00:02:59Hey, Danny!
00:03:02How you doing?
00:03:03I think so.
00:03:04It'll be good.
00:03:04Let's try it.
00:03:05Okay.
00:03:06Hey, Danny!
00:03:13What's brewing up there?
00:03:14Hi, Muggs.
00:03:15Hi, fellas.
00:03:16Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.
00:03:17I've been practicing up for the big dance contest.
00:03:19Come on up and watch us.
00:03:19No, Pablo, will you come down?
00:03:21I want to practice up on you a little bit.
00:03:22Okay.
00:03:24I'll be right down.
00:03:24Yeah, I'll leave Ivy there.
00:03:28Boy's got a brilliant future.
00:03:30Swell fella.
00:03:32We'll have to finish our practicing later, Ivy.
00:03:34I've got to go with the fellas.
00:03:35Okay, Danny.
00:03:36So long.
00:03:36So long.
00:03:39I wonder what's keeping that great hero I heard so much about.
00:03:42He'll be here.
00:03:43Muggs can hear that money jingle in your pockets miles away.
00:03:49Hey, Muggs, get a load of that.
00:03:52Don't cover it up.
00:03:54That's the way I like to see it.
00:03:55My name first.
00:03:56Yeah, but that makes you the challenger.
00:03:58Just a natural-born point killer, ain't you?
00:03:59You know, my father once had his name on a thing like that.
00:04:02Yeah, I wanted.
00:04:02Dead or alive.
00:04:03Reward.
00:04:04Two cents.
00:04:04Hey, Muggs.
00:04:05Muggs, your man was in there waiting.
00:04:07Pardon me, Slim.
00:04:09Man, he sure looks anxious.
00:04:12You sure you got that chalk, Danny?
00:04:14Yeah, but you won't need it, Muggs.
00:04:15You can beat them on the level.
00:04:16There's no percentage in that.
00:04:18When I give you the signal, you change that chalk.
00:04:23Hi, Nick.
00:04:23How's the trust fund?
00:04:24Hello, boys.
00:04:26Hello there, sucker.
00:04:27So you're the champ around here, huh?
00:04:29Me?
00:04:29How'd you like a few lessons?
00:04:30I might condescend to teach you to find the points of the game for a nominal consideration.
00:04:34Yeah, even for money.
00:04:35Your line of chatter is very impressive, Jack.
00:04:37Your name is Muggs.
00:04:39I'm sorry.
00:04:40Muggs.
00:04:40What do you say we just play a nice sociable game for about five bucks?
00:04:45What are you going to use for money?
00:04:46Cigar store coupons?
00:04:48You'll have to talk to my treasurer about that.
00:04:50Don't worry, Elsie.
00:04:50Did you get your money?
00:04:51What am I saying?
00:04:52Go ahead.
00:04:53Grab a cue.
00:04:54I don't need no cue.
00:04:54I'll kick him in.
00:04:56Hey, Scruano.
00:04:57Get my weapon.
00:04:58Solid.
00:05:00Don't forget when I give you the high sign.
00:05:01Remember that chalk.
00:05:03All right.
00:05:04This will be brutal.
00:05:04I don't want no handicaps.
00:05:10Let's toss for the break.
00:05:11Sure.
00:05:12Okay.
00:05:14You got a coin?
00:05:15Nothing but big bills here.
00:05:18What do you cry?
00:05:20Heads.
00:05:21You break.
00:05:22Did I say heads?
00:05:23Yeah, you said heads.
00:05:24It's your artillery, Muggs.
00:05:26Thanks, Scruano.
00:05:27Watch this shot.
00:05:28A little safety I taught Greenleaf.
00:05:34Go ahead.
00:05:37Shoot, mister.
00:05:49That's a great shot.
00:05:50Where'd you line that one?
00:05:52You better get that dough ready, McGinnis.
00:05:53If I sink these next four balls, you're through.
00:05:55You ain't got them yet.
00:06:04What are you stalling for?
00:06:08His luck will run out soon, Muggs.
00:06:09Then he can win on the level.
00:06:11Don't give me that routine.
00:06:12Change that chalk as fast as you can.
00:06:15Nice stroke, kid.
00:06:17This is game ball, you know.
00:06:19Yeah?
00:06:19Where's it going?
00:06:20Down the end.
00:06:24Up the mist to guard you.
00:06:25Yeah.
00:06:26Come on.
00:06:26Get clear, will you?
00:06:32Keep your eye on it, fellas.
00:06:34Well, that's it.
00:06:38Come on.
00:06:38Pay off.
00:06:39Thanks, Danny.
00:06:40I should make you pay the five.
00:06:42Come on.
00:06:42Where's the dough?
00:06:43What dough?
00:06:44That was just a practice game.
00:06:45That's all.
00:06:45Just a practice game, wasn't it?
00:06:46Yeah, I heard it with my own eyes.
00:06:47I heard him.
00:06:48Practice game, huh?
00:06:49Pretty brave with this gang around here.
00:06:51Come on.
00:06:52Get that dough up.
00:06:53What dough?
00:06:54The five bucks.
00:06:55You want the five?
00:06:56Yeah, I want the five.
00:06:57How about these five?
00:06:58Oh, oh, kid.
00:06:59You're not in condition.
00:07:03I'll see you later.
00:07:04Hey, look, how about my money?
00:07:06Just put it in the book.
00:07:07I'll trust you.
00:07:12Gee, I'm sorry, fella.
00:07:13He just lost his temper.
00:07:14Don't worry.
00:07:15He won't get away with this.
00:07:16He's not so tough.
00:07:17And I'll get my money, too.
00:07:19I hope that fella I'm fighting tonight falls up that easy.
00:07:22Oh, forget about it.
00:07:23He's OK.
00:07:24You'll get your dough.
00:07:26Darn right, I'll get my dough.
00:07:27Look at Danny in there talking to that pool shark.
00:07:29I bet they're in cahoots.
00:07:31Hey, fellas, who's going to pay for that game?
00:07:33Well, Muggs said he'd trust you for it, didn't he?
00:07:36That's right.
00:07:37He did say that.
00:07:38He's honest, that boy.
00:07:43You shouldn't have hit him, Muggs.
00:07:44He wasn't set.
00:07:45He wasn't set, huh?
00:07:46Why didn't you change that chalk?
00:07:48Well, I...
00:07:49Well, I what?
00:07:50You're yellow.
00:07:50That's why you didn't change it.
00:07:51I'm not yellow.
00:07:52I thought you could win on the level.
00:07:54You know, I'm beginning to figure something out.
00:07:57Why I won the championship last year and you were just a runner-up?
00:07:59Because you haven't got what it takes, that's why.
00:08:02You were napped on the square, didn't you?
00:08:04Stop beating around the bush.
00:08:06I'm leaving, fellas.
00:08:07This jellyfish is giving me indigestion.
00:08:10You work me.
00:08:11The only thing I can't stand is a narc.
00:08:16What?
00:08:17Dog races?
00:08:18Nah, nah, we ain't got any more dog races.
00:08:21They're rabbit eyes.
00:08:22All right.
00:08:24What's on your mind, kid?
00:08:26I got a tip for you, Tony.
00:08:28You got a tip for me, huh?
00:08:29You know that amateur championship fight tomorrow night?
00:08:32Eastside versus Westside?
00:08:34Now, don't tell me you're giving me a tip on McGinnis.
00:08:37We've had McGinnis on the nose.
00:08:39Yeah, but you're giving odds.
00:08:41What are you driving at?
00:08:43Suppose I tell you I got a way of keeping that McGinnis out of the ring tomorrow night.
00:08:47All right.
00:08:48McGinnis don't show up.
00:08:50What about the switch and the odds?
00:08:52I know that neighborhood and that Westside Kid Johnson.
00:08:54Your money will be riding to town betting against the Eastside.
00:09:01Sounds wacky, but maybe he's got something.
00:09:06Maybe he has.
00:09:07Now, here's what I'll need for my end of the deal.
00:09:10There's three things we've got to get, see?
00:09:18That's the one that's going to get him, huh?
00:09:20You know, this is just the way I'm going to look when I come home tonight.
00:09:22Untouched by human hands.
00:09:24That's the spirit, son.
00:09:25You sure you don't want to go, Ma?
00:09:26There ain't going to be no blood, much.
00:09:28No, I think I'll stay and listen to the radio.
00:09:30Danny and I will be right there rooting for you, Muggs.
00:09:32You mean hooting for me, don't you?
00:09:34I may be a little late, Ma.
00:09:35You know, speeches and testimonials and stuff like that.
00:09:38How about a little kiss for luck?
00:09:39Thanks.
00:09:43I sure hope Muggs wins.
00:09:45What do you mean, hope?
00:09:47I'm McGinnis never lost a fight.
00:09:50That's right.
00:09:50Hold it, McGinnis.
00:10:07What's the beef, Chief?
00:10:08Publicity picture.
00:10:09Oh, pictures, huh?
00:10:09Well, let's get a good pose.
00:10:12I'm from the bulletin, McGinnis.
00:10:13I figured I'd take in a few pictures before you win tonight.
00:10:15You know, once you get to the arena,
00:10:16the newspaper men and the cameramen,
00:10:18why, they'll steal you right away.
00:10:19So I figured I'd get a couple in front of your house.
00:10:21That's for the newspapers, huh?
00:10:22Sure, the bulletin.
00:10:23See that sign up there?
00:10:24Yeah.
00:10:25Muggs McGinnis, bus Hank Johnson.
00:10:27Yeah.
00:10:27Well, focus that right in the middle of your lamp.
00:10:31And let's get a good picture.
00:10:32Okay, anything you say, champ.
00:10:33I'll show you how I'm going to look after I win this fight.
00:10:35Are you ready?
00:10:35Hold it now.
00:10:36Well, I'm going to wash my hair a little bit.
00:10:37Okay, here it goes.
00:10:39Oh, when my mother sees that picture,
00:10:41will she be proud?
00:10:42Hey, what paper did you say you were from?
00:10:44Bulletin, we'd like to get an interview.
00:10:45You know one of those things, Dynamite McGinnis,
00:10:47tells reporter how he expects to knock out Johnson.
00:10:50Oh, you mean kind of an autobiographical, huh?
00:10:52That's it.
00:10:53Well, then...
00:10:54Mr. Dynamite, say, listen, kid, I got a great idea.
00:10:56Mr. Dynamite?
00:10:56Mr. Dynamite.
00:10:57That's me?
00:10:57That's you.
00:10:58Say, listen, I got a great idea.
00:10:59How about riding over to the arena in style
00:11:01on the company's Jeep?
00:11:02In the meantime, you can tell me the background
00:11:04of your whole life.
00:11:05Do you want the dramatic highlights
00:11:06or just the little personal touches?
00:11:07Anything you care to say.
00:11:08All right, that's great.
00:11:09We'll start from the beginning.
00:11:10Okay, step in, Chief.
00:11:13Arena, Joe.
00:11:15Murphy Harris, same paper.
00:11:22Meet Muggs McGinnis,
00:11:23the greatest fighter on the east side.
00:11:25Hello, kid.
00:11:25What's new, shorty?
00:11:27Well, Muggsy,
00:11:27how about telling us something about yourself?
00:11:29When I was three months old,
00:11:30I run away from home.
00:11:31Six months later,
00:11:32I come back,
00:11:33my father took one look at me
00:11:34and he run away from home.
00:11:37All kidding aside,
00:11:38when did you first start fighting?
00:11:39I started when I was very young.
00:11:41I won my first 18 fights by knockouts.
00:11:43Then they took my brass knuckles away.
00:11:46Scrap metal.
00:11:51Hey, what's the idea?
00:11:53We ain't going to the arena.
00:11:55What are those blinds down for?
00:11:58Haven't you heard?
00:11:59This car's having a dim out.
00:12:01You can't get away with this.
00:12:02Let me up.
00:12:03You should try to be more cooperative, champ.
00:12:05Relax.
00:12:06We're gonna let you in on a little treat.
00:12:07Listen, there's 10 million people down there tonight
00:12:09that paid to see me fight.
00:12:10I gotta get there, you understand?
00:12:12They'll see a fight, all right.
00:12:13But you won't be in it.
00:12:19Hey, Amsterdam has a good ride.
00:12:21That was a pretty good fight, wasn't it?
00:12:23Yeah, boy.
00:12:24Will you see the next one?
00:12:25I can hardly wait.
00:12:29Hey, Danny,
00:12:29you want it in the dressing room right away.
00:12:31What for?
00:12:32Don't ask questions.
00:12:32Just come on.
00:12:33Well, go ahead, Danny.
00:12:34If that substitute of yours isn't here in three minutes,
00:12:38we're gonna have to disqualify the East Side kids.
00:12:40Hey, Glimpy, why don't you go in?
00:12:42Who, me?
00:12:42I'm not in shape.
00:12:45Is that him?
00:12:45Yeah.
00:12:46Okay, thanks.
00:12:47What's going on?
00:12:48Ah, Muggs got lost somewhere.
00:12:50So you gotta go in and fight for him.
00:12:51Me?
00:12:52I'm not in shape.
00:12:53Uh-uh.
00:12:53I said that first.
00:12:54What do you got to worry about?
00:12:55You was runner-up, wasn't you?
00:12:56You can't get hurt.
00:12:57Look, if you're not in there within three minutes,
00:12:59we get disqualified.
00:13:00Take the clothes off.
00:13:01Come on, will you?
00:13:01Hey, Joe, go out and explain to Ivy, will you?
00:13:04Right away.
00:13:06How long we got?
00:13:07Oh, about three minutes.
00:13:08Come on, get out of here.
00:13:09I'll give you a rub down fast.
00:13:10Don't get in, mate.
00:13:13Ivy, Muggs didn't show up.
00:13:15Danny's got to go on in his place.
00:13:16Well, where is Muggs?
00:13:17He left the house in town.
00:13:18I don't know.
00:13:18We haven't heard a word from him.
00:13:19Maybe he had an accident.
00:13:21Danny can't go in there and fight.
00:13:22He's not in condition.
00:13:23Oh, look, Ivy, it's only four rounds.
00:13:25He can't get hurt much.
00:13:26Much?
00:13:27He was runner-up last year, wasn't he?
00:13:29Yeah.
00:13:30Oh.
00:13:30Turn on the radio, Joe.
00:13:32Eh, save the electricity.
00:13:33That fight will be forfeited, just like you guys want.
00:13:36Shut up.
00:13:36I want to listen to the fight.
00:13:38What fight?
00:13:38There ain't going to be no fight unless I'm in there.
00:13:48You all right, Danny?
00:13:50Yeah, I guess I'm okay.
00:13:51Well, just don't worry about it.
00:13:52If anything happens, I'll be right in there without water bucket.
00:13:54Water bucket?
00:13:55What are you, an air raid warden?
00:13:56Gee, I wish I was in there fighting.
00:13:58I shall never forget my first fight.
00:14:00Never forget my last fight.
00:14:01Same fight.
00:14:02Don't worry.
00:14:03I'm going to win this fight.
00:14:04That's the spirit, kid.
00:14:05Just go in there.
00:14:05Keep swinging.
00:14:06Keep swinging.
00:14:06In case you don't hit the guy, the breeze might give him pneumonia.
00:14:08Ladies and gentlemen, this is the main event of the evening.
00:14:14Four rounds of boxing.
00:14:16In this corner, and representing the west side, battling Hank Johnson.
00:14:26And in this corner, from Muggsy McGinnis, and representing the east side, young Danny Lyon.
00:14:34They can't do that.
00:14:35They can't set the door to me.
00:14:36Hey, get easy, Mr. Dynamite.
00:14:37You're not in the ring tonight.
00:14:41I get it.
00:14:42Danny paid you guys to snatch me tonight just so he could fight.
00:14:45Huh?
00:14:45Is that it?
00:14:46What's the matter?
00:14:46Don't you think Mr. Lyons can win?
00:14:48Win?
00:14:49He'll be hanging on those ropes so much tonight that people won't think he's a yo-yo.
00:14:52Pretty smart kid, though, don't you think?
00:14:54Sure, sure.
00:14:55He's smart.
00:14:55Very smart.
00:14:56He's been associated with you cheap snipers, and I never knew nothing about him.
00:15:00That's what I mean about being smart.
00:15:03You guys know all the rules.
00:15:07Make a nice, clean fight of it.
00:15:09Keep all your punches up.
00:15:10In case of a knockdown, go to the farthest, neutral corner.
00:15:12Shake hands and come out fighting.
00:15:16Hey, Rep.
00:15:16In case Danny gets knocked down, which corner does he go to?
00:15:22Well, this is it.
00:15:23Get in.
00:15:33Come on, give it to him.
00:15:41Keep your left up.
00:15:53Let's go!
00:16:07Boys, move around cautiously.
00:16:14Watch that left!
00:16:17I wish it was in there!
00:16:19You didn't know when you had a chance.
00:16:21Stop crying!
00:16:41Watch that left!
00:16:42Listen to me, you'll be a fighter!
00:16:44You ruined my reputation!
00:16:46I'm sick of it!
00:16:48Get in there and keep feeling it!
00:16:50Keep your head!
00:16:57Lyons comes out, barely able to keep his hand up.
00:16:59Johnson, cool, ready for the kill.
00:17:01Steps around smartly.
00:17:04See that? Lyons gypped his way into that ring tonight.
00:17:06Now he's getting just what's coming to him.
00:17:08But that ain't nothing compared to what's going to happen to him when I get out of this overcrowded bus.
00:17:18He isn't doing so well.
00:17:20He'll come around once he gets used to being in there.
00:17:38Careful, come on!
00:17:41Wait a minute, Danny! Take it easy, Danny!
00:17:43Get away from that right hand, Danny!
00:17:59One...
00:18:00Two...
00:18:01Three...
00:18:02What are you waiting for?
00:18:03Come on, get up!
00:18:04Five, six, seven...
00:18:14One, two, three, four, five...
00:18:19No more like that and you'll be able to go home.
00:18:21Thanks.
00:18:22Seven, eight, nine...
00:18:28He did it!
00:18:29Hit him up again! Hit him with your rifle!
00:18:32How do you feel, Chef?
00:18:37Sit down. Come on.
00:18:38Hurry up.
00:18:42This time, give him a left force, a right force,
00:18:44then give him a Japanese uppercut.
00:18:45A Japanese uppercut?
00:18:46Yeah, double force.
00:18:47Come on, kid. Build up.
00:18:54Beat him up!
00:18:56Come on, Danny!
00:18:57Danny boy!
00:19:02Come on!
00:19:03Come on!
00:19:08Yes, folks. Danny Lyons just seemed to step out of a trance.
00:19:11Lyons lands a vicious hook to Wildcat's right eye.
00:19:23Hey, what goes on?
00:19:24You got me.
00:19:25Give him a left!
00:19:26Give him a right!
00:19:27Give him a right!
00:19:33Johnson is down!
00:19:34He's down!
00:19:35One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:19:46Come on!
00:19:49Can you picture that?
00:19:50He must have hit him with a stool.
00:19:58Now, ladies and gentlemen, the winner.
00:19:59Danny Lyons will receive the coveted amateur boxing belt.
00:20:02It'll take you ten years to work this off.
00:20:05And you'll start tomorrow.
00:20:07The sensational champion.
00:20:08Oh, boy, you're really late.
00:20:09You hit that guy so hard with that Bolo, they're still counting over him.
00:20:13Will that Muggs be surprised?
00:20:14I'm not very surprised.
00:20:16Muggs, where have you been?
00:20:17What happened to you?
00:20:18I've been around.
00:20:19Don't worry.
00:20:20We won the championship.
00:20:21See, Muggs, when you didn't show up, we didn't know what to do, so...
00:20:24I did all right, kid.
00:20:25My friends took very good care of me.
00:20:27My friends?
00:20:28What are you talking about?
00:20:29Might as well tell you, fellas.
00:20:31Danny fixed it up so he could fight tonight instead of me.
00:20:34Muggs, you're wrong.
00:20:35Yeah, yeah, playing dumb, huh?
00:20:37Don't you figure this out all by yourself?
00:20:38I don't know what you're talking about.
00:20:39I wouldn't do a thing like that.
00:20:40No, you wouldn't do it.
00:20:41But you hired a couple of palookas to take me for a ride until this fight was over.
00:20:45Hey, is he making with the truth?
00:20:46Is that on the level?
00:20:47What goes on?
00:20:48Muggs, you're wrong.
00:20:49You've got to believe me you're wrong.
00:20:50Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:20:51Incidentally, this belt belongs to me.
00:20:56Okay, Muggs.
00:20:57What about the car and those guys?
00:20:58I know.
00:20:59You never heard nothing about it.
00:21:00Of course, you know I'm still champ around here.
00:21:03Sure, Muggs.
00:21:04Well, just to prove it...
00:21:06Hey, wait!
00:21:07What's the matter, boy?
00:21:08What's the matter, you?
00:21:09No, I'm going out and sure to press the real champ.
00:21:12Take care of him.
00:21:13I've got to take some pictures, Will.
00:21:14I will.
00:21:15I'll take care of it.
00:21:16Danny's coming.
00:21:17Hello, Mom.
00:21:18Hello, Mr. Gander.
00:21:19Congratulations, Danny.
00:21:20You were great tonight.
00:21:22We heard the whole thing on the radio.
00:21:24Where's the belt you won?
00:21:26Oh, the belt?
00:21:27You won it, didn't you?
00:21:29Yeah, I won it.
00:21:31But I lost it.
00:21:32Lost it?
00:21:33Where?
00:21:34How could you lose it?
00:21:38I'll tell you all about it later, Mom.
00:21:40Sure, Danny.
00:21:41Oh, by the way, one of my boys left for the army this afternoon.
00:21:44You can have the job tomorrow.
00:21:46Gee, that's swell, Mr. Gendick.
00:21:48I'll be there first thing in the morning.
00:21:50Good night, Mrs. Lyons.
00:21:51Good night, Mr. Gander.
00:21:52Good night, Danny.
00:21:53Good night, sir.
00:21:57Danny, what about the belt?
00:21:59Well, I...
00:22:00I didn't exactly lose it, Mom.
00:22:02The east side has it.
00:22:03The east side has it?
00:22:05Well, I gave it to Muggs.
00:22:07If I didn't, it would have meant a brawl.
00:22:09Mom, why don't you let me go out and teach him a lesson?
00:22:11Danny, as long as I live,
00:22:13I will never have a son of mine fighting in the streets.
00:22:15But, Mom...
00:22:17You...
00:22:20There are things getting heavy, Mr. Parker.
00:22:25Halt!
00:22:26Hey, ya, ladies and gentlemen.
00:22:28Meet the new champ, Muggs McGinnis.
00:22:30Muggs is gonna hit Danny Lyons so hard,
00:22:32they're gonna count him out in the air.
00:22:34He's gonna give him a mushroom nose, a cauliflower ear.
00:22:37In fact, he's gonna make him the only kid in this block
00:22:39with a built-in victory garden.
00:22:41He's so tough, he told Joe Lewis where to get off.
00:22:44He told Joe Lewis where to get off?
00:22:46Are you kidding?
00:22:47Well, they were riding on the same streetcar together.
00:22:49What do you say, champ?
00:22:51It's a pleasure to stand up here
00:22:53and look down at all these smiling and intelligent faces.
00:22:56Now, don't you folks think the phony champ
00:22:58ought to come out and fight like a real man?
00:23:00Yes.
00:23:01Well, then, call him.
00:23:02Danny!
00:23:03That's the matter with you?
00:23:04You're trying to make yourself conspicuous?
00:23:06Now, call him conservatively.
00:23:08Danny!
00:23:12Take it easy, champ.
00:23:13I don't want you to bruise that hand.
00:23:14You're fighting next week.
00:23:15Mugs McGinnis beat it!
00:23:18Not until Danny comes down.
00:23:20I want to give him a little lesson in pugilistic art.
00:23:22He's working.
00:23:23Working, huh?
00:23:24Whose baby carriage is he pushing now?
00:23:26Go and find out for yourself.
00:23:28Go over to Lewis Gendick's garage.
00:23:30Gendick's?
00:23:31Sir, that Mooch is muscling on my territory again.
00:23:34You know how long ago I was promised that job?
00:23:36How long?
00:23:37Six months.
00:23:38A hundred and eighty days.
00:23:39What are you going to do about it?
00:23:40It ain't going to be pleasant to watch.
00:23:41Give me the crown, champ.
00:23:42Stoney, skinny.
00:23:43Take this back to Joe to peddle.
00:23:44Right.
00:23:45Thanks very much.
00:23:46Come back again.
00:23:47Thanks very much.
00:23:48Come back again.
00:24:04Hi, fellas.
00:24:05What's cooking?
00:24:06Still crawling in front of me, huh?
00:24:07Last night you fixed it so I can't make the fight.
00:24:08Now you take the job that I was supposed to have.
00:24:09Not in a million years, McGinnis.
00:24:10Your memory must be depreciating, Gendick.
00:24:11You promised me this job.
00:24:12Sure, I remember.
00:24:13But when I put anybody to work around here, I want a gentleman.
00:24:16Not an irresponsible, nearly well like you.
00:24:19Since when do you call this double-crosser a gentleman?
00:24:21On your way, troublemaker.
00:24:22Come on, fellas.
00:24:23The atmosphere is getting a little dense around here.
00:24:24Why don't you two guys go play ping pong with a time bomb?
00:24:28If he was my son, I'd give him an old-fashioned talking to.
00:24:30Right over my knee.
00:24:31That's it.
00:24:32Now, let's take a look.
00:24:33I'll do my hands.
00:24:34Hey.
00:24:35Let's take a look.
00:24:36Let's take a look.
00:24:37Now I'll have a look.
00:24:38And I'll have a look.
00:24:39I'll have a look.
00:24:40You said I'll have a look.
00:24:41You said I'll have a look.
00:24:42How are you?
00:24:43I don't have a look.
00:24:44Well, as you said, what you said.
00:24:46How are you doing?
00:24:47Well, what I am doing?
00:24:48What he knew he said?
00:24:49Right over my knee.
00:24:52Sometimes I can't figure mugs.
00:24:55I wonder if he could take the same kind of medicine he dishes out.
00:25:04Yes, sir.
00:25:05Oh, it's you. Hi.
00:25:06Hello, champ.
00:25:08What do you want, regular or Ethel?
00:25:10What's so funny?
00:25:12You cost me some dough last night,
00:25:13and incidentally, you can thank me for getting in that ring.
00:25:16What? You mean...
00:25:17Yeah, yeah. I finally got in with mugs.
00:25:19It cost me some dough, but it was worth it.
00:25:22How many gallons do you want?
00:25:24Make it three, and here's my ration book.
00:25:27And don't be so gloomy.
00:25:30Don't forget, Danny's name is going to be stricken from the records.
00:25:33He's out of the club intimately, ultimately, and forever.
00:25:36Why not get his next year's dues first?
00:25:37Hide that many reader, huh?
00:25:38Never mind his next year's dues.
00:25:40He's out right now, presently, henceforth, etc.
00:25:43Oh, you're a big man, aren't you?
00:25:46Oh.
00:25:49Check the oil?
00:25:51No, here.
00:25:53Thanks.
00:25:53I'll be seeing you, champ.
00:26:02Oh, Mr. Gendick.
00:26:04Could I take about ten minutes off?
00:26:05Why, sure, Danny.
00:26:07Thanks a lot.
00:26:07Azov, the 15th Instinct of the Month quote.
00:26:14Hey, how do you spell Azov?
00:26:16Azov?
00:26:16I don't know.
00:26:17Strike it from the records.
00:26:18I asked the president of this club, hereby,
00:26:21a loan unanimously ostracized Danny Lyons from this club.
00:26:24And if he knows what's good for him, he won't come around anymore.
00:26:33Hey, chairman at arm, see who that is.
00:26:35Maybe somebody's trying to break the lease.
00:26:37Now, with all the good news comes a little bad.
00:26:40Hey, Muggs, it's Danny.
00:26:41Never heard of me.
00:26:42Come on, honey.
00:26:43I've just been advised that Muggs would not enjoy the pleasure of your company.
00:26:47Well, I'm still a member of this gang.
00:26:50I thought I told you not to let him in here.
00:26:51I ain't no second front.
00:26:53Listen to me, Muggs, and the rest of you fellas.
00:26:54What you do, come over here to cry on my shoulders?
00:26:57I didn't come down here to cry on anybody's shoulder.
00:26:59I have an idea that Harry Wyckoff was behind that whole mess last night.
00:27:02Sure he was.
00:27:03You and Harry worked together.
00:27:05Oh, you're crazy.
00:27:06Well, the last time I saw Harry was at the...
00:27:07Was at the pool room.
00:27:09And now I know why you didn't switch that chalk like I told her.
00:27:12You wanted Harry to win.
00:27:13Well, Muggs, you've got to believe me.
00:27:15I'm on the square with you.
00:27:16No, I think I know why you came down here.
00:27:19It's encounter Ivy.
00:27:20Ivy?
00:27:20What's she got to do with it?
00:27:21She's got a lot to do with it.
00:27:22Just in case you thought I didn't want you two going out together,
00:27:25well, you'd come down here and try to worm your way out of this thing,
00:27:28just like you're doing now.
00:27:29Well, Muggs, you don't even give me a chance.
00:27:31I ain't giving away no chances.
00:27:32And furthermore, stay away from my sister.
00:27:38Well, I'll see you tonight, Mr. Klinkhammer.
00:27:39Okay, Danny.
00:27:41Well, hello, boys.
00:27:43Hiya, Klinky.
00:27:44It's Klinkhammer.
00:27:46Okay, Sinkhandle.
00:27:47Hey, weather clear.
00:27:48Track fast.
00:27:50Looks like a Mickey Finn with fuzz on it.
00:27:52Man, look at that hair.
00:27:53A beautiful skin.
00:27:54Every time I look at it, I want to put on my finger and then start bowling.
00:27:58Very funny.
00:28:00Well, I suppose you boys all have your partners for the big dance tonight.
00:28:02I don't need no partner.
00:28:03I can win it alone.
00:28:04I got a dame that's solid.
00:28:05Z-O-I-L-T.
00:28:06Hey, look, are you going to give us more of that counterfeit money?
00:28:08I certainly am.
00:28:11Counterfeit?
00:28:11Why, my money is good.
00:28:12Always has been.
00:28:13Yeah, the last time you gave me a five-linkin' was winkin'.
00:28:17Well, look, boys, I got to go now.
00:28:18I got to pay a little social call on your folks, you know.
00:28:21Well, I'm off.
00:28:22You're not kidding.
00:28:23You are off.
00:28:24See you later, Klinky.
00:28:26If clothes make the man, you've got a long way to go, son.
00:28:28I'll be up later.
00:28:31Step down, sir.
00:28:35Yeah, Milky.
00:28:36Keep the change.
00:28:37Thank you, sir.
00:28:39Hiya, Mr. Scurullo.
00:28:40Fine, how are you, fellas?
00:28:41Hiya, Pop.
00:28:42Hi, Ray.
00:28:43Where you been to, a Turkish man?
00:28:44This is all getting a shine.
00:28:45It's got to look neat once in a while, don't I?
00:28:47Take over.
00:28:49Yeah, I'm only hip to what you're talking about.
00:28:51Hey, Jackson, you know that shop you just shined up?
00:28:53Yeah.
00:28:54Well, who's that big colloca he's talking to in there?
00:28:56He's a friend of my boss.
00:28:57He works here.
00:28:58Hey, Muggs, maybe Danny was right.
00:29:00Sure, maybe he was right, but that still don't prove he didn't have nothing to do with it.
00:29:03Look, you kids, if anything's cooking on your brains, don't do it around here.
00:29:07And for you, my little Eclipse, you take over while I go home to see your mama.
00:29:12Give me a shine, boy.
00:29:13Look at that, Pop.
00:29:14I'm allergic to this polish.
00:29:16Hey, boy, give me a shine.
00:29:17If you give me a shine, I'll polish you off, but quick if you don't get out of that chair.
00:29:22But let's take the sword.
00:29:24See you came around to pay off a little pool debt, huh?
00:29:26Yeah, we came around to pay off, all right.
00:29:30What do you want?
00:29:31Where's that young elephant you was just talking to?
00:29:33I haven't seen nobody.
00:29:34You got a stigmatism, huh?
00:29:37You paying much protection lately, Wyckoff?
00:29:39What's it to you?
00:29:41Oh, nothing.
00:29:42Nothing at all.
00:29:43How much you lose in a fight last night?
00:29:45I think you lost a little more than I did, huh?
00:29:47How would you like to lose consciousness?
00:29:50What's the matter?
00:29:50Can't you take a little rib?
00:29:51Maybe a laughing boy knows a little about this, huh?
00:29:54Look, fellas, this ain't no pool hall.
00:29:56Now get out of here before I call the cops.
00:29:57Call the cops?
00:29:59That's a funny one.
00:30:00Go ahead and call them.
00:30:01We'll lead them right into that back room there and let them place a couple of bets.
00:30:04And speaking of bets, there's a couple of newspaper men back there that we're going to place a little parlay on.
00:30:10But I wouldn't bet them to win.
00:30:18What do you kids want in here?
00:30:20Oh, we just come around to renew acquaintances.
00:30:22Hello, kid.
00:30:23Now, kid.
00:30:24So you remember me, huh?
00:30:26I thought you tried to say you was a couple of other guys.
00:30:29I don't know what you're talking about.
00:30:30That's a lapse of memory.
00:30:31All right, outside.
00:30:32Get going.
00:30:33Sure, we'll get going.
00:30:34You hear what he says, fellas?
00:30:35Well, let's go.
00:30:36Give me a boat!
00:30:42Hey, I wonder what time the floor show goes on.
00:30:46What's Hatsit face doing up there?
00:30:48Where's the judge?
00:30:49Must be out to lunch.
00:30:51Gee, a lady judge.
00:30:52Next case, please.
00:30:53Benny Miller.
00:30:57Joe Collins.
00:30:59Harold Stone.
00:31:01Glimpy McLevy.
00:31:03Ethelbert McGinnis.
00:31:06Ethelbert McGinnis.
00:31:07Hey, Muggs!
00:31:08Do people usually call you by that name, Muggs?
00:31:18No, that's because he's so homely.
00:31:20I mean, tough.
00:31:21Tough?
00:31:22Only my friends call me Muggs.
00:31:24I don't think you'd know a friend if you saw one.
00:31:27I'm his friend.
00:31:28Thanks, Glimp.
00:31:30I don't suppose any of you boys have got a job.
00:31:32A job?
00:31:32I worked once.
00:31:33I was a pin setter.
00:31:34What is a pin setter?
00:31:36They knock him down.
00:31:36I set him up.
00:31:38Gee, judge.
00:31:39Ain't you never bold?
00:31:42Stop that.
00:31:44Sorry, Miss, your honor.
00:31:47Didn't get much sleep last night.
00:31:48I can't see no point in discussing Glimpy's career.
00:31:51The issue is, are we going to the Hooskowl or ain't we?
00:31:54Whether I send you there or someone else does,
00:31:56eventually that's where you're going to wind up.
00:31:59I can't understand it.
00:32:01You boys are supposed to be good American citizens.
00:32:04While our soldiers are fighting for peace,
00:32:06you're disturbing it.
00:32:07There's 101 things that you can do
00:32:09to further the war effort.
00:32:12And I'm going to give you a chance to do it.
00:32:14Go on home and don't let me catch you back here again.
00:32:17Case dismissed.
00:32:18Thanks, Miss Judge.
00:32:22So long there, Charlie.
00:32:23Where do you think you're going?
00:32:28You said the case was dismissed.
00:32:30The case was dismissed for them.
00:32:32They were brought in here for disturbing the peace.
00:32:34You were brought in here for bookmaking.
00:32:36This is your second offense.
00:32:37How do you plead?
00:32:40Guilty.
00:32:41Six months each.
00:32:43Next case, please.
00:32:47I'll see you fellas later.
00:32:48I got a little date.
00:32:49Mux, can I go with you maybe, honey?
00:32:51No, this is personal.
00:32:52I don't know.
00:32:53Okay.
00:32:54Hey, fellas, you want to go over to the pool room, huh?
00:32:56Didn't you hear what that judge said?
00:32:59Hey, I wonder where he's going.
00:33:00Let's find out.
00:33:01Hey, Danny.
00:33:12I've had a change of disposition.
00:33:15Yeah?
00:33:16Yeah.
00:33:18Hey, Mux is talking to Danny.
00:33:20Hey, what do you know about that?
00:33:22You can take Ivy to that dance tonight.
00:33:23Thanks.
00:33:25I appreciate that.
00:33:26That's nothing.
00:33:27Nothing at all.
00:33:29About that fight.
00:33:31They found out about Wyckoff.
00:33:32Oh, did he tell you how much I paid him for the job?
00:33:34Right so you wasn't in on it.
00:33:36That's just a lucky break for you, that's all.
00:33:39By the way, we're having a meeting tomorrow night.
00:33:42The last I heard, I was kicked out of the club.
00:33:44Yeah, well, I kicked you back in.
00:33:47I'll see you later.
00:33:47Don't wait up for me.
00:33:53Patricia may, but we've got nothing in common.
00:33:55You can't even shoot a game of pool.
00:33:58If that's the way you feel about it, you better hang up.
00:34:03Guess that's the way she felt about it.
00:34:06I hope Danny likes his dress.
00:34:08Well, I don't see why not.
00:34:09He sees you in it every day.
00:34:11Oh, my dear.
00:34:16Good evening, Mrs. McGinnis.
00:34:17Won't you come in, Danny?
00:34:19Hello.
00:34:20Hello, Ivy.
00:34:20Are you ready?
00:34:21I will be in just a minute.
00:34:22Wait till I get my coat.
00:34:23Okay.
00:34:24Mr. Danny lines to see Miss Ivy McGinnis.
00:34:26Prepare for a lull.
00:34:29Very funny bit.
00:34:31You expect to win that 50 tonight?
00:34:33We're sure going to try.
00:34:34Well, you should know a couple of good steps by now.
00:34:36You've been practicing for 300 years.
00:34:39Now, take me, for instance.
00:34:40I'm going to win that Mazuma tonight,
00:34:41and I ain't had no practicing at all.
00:34:43You're going to dance tonight, Mux?
00:34:45Who's your partner?
00:34:46Anybody I know?
00:34:46I didn't know you went in for dances, Mux.
00:34:48I'm ambidextrous.
00:34:50Tonight, you're going to find out that I can beat you
00:34:52with my feet as well as my hands.
00:34:54Come on, Danny.
00:34:55Let's go.
00:34:56Good luck, kids.
00:34:57Be home early.
00:34:57Good night, Ma.
00:34:58Good night.
00:34:58Good night, Mrs. McGinnis.
00:34:59Have a good time.
00:35:02Don't slam the door, Schlemiel.
00:35:05I'm sorry, Ma.
00:35:06I don't like to be crude like that.
00:35:09But that guy brings out the bad side in me.
00:35:11Did I hear you say you were going to the dance?
00:35:13When did you decide on that?
00:35:15Just now.
00:35:16A little spontaneous conclusion.
00:35:19Hey, Ma, do me a favor, will you?
00:35:20Press the shirt and block this hat.
00:35:22You're not going to the dance in those clothes.
00:35:25No.
00:35:26No, I guess not.
00:35:27Well, how about that outfit I used to wear
00:35:29when I was a choir boy?
00:35:30I'll get it for you.
00:35:34Choir boy.
00:35:34Choir boy.
00:36:04Choir boy.
00:36:05Choir boy.
00:36:06Choir boy.

00:36:10Choir boy.
00:36:11Choir boy.
00:36:12Choir boy.
00:36:13Choir boy.
00:36:14Choir boy.
00:36:15Choir boy.

00:36:29Choir boy.
00:36:30Choir boy.
00:36:31Choir boy.
00:36:32Choir boy.
00:36:33Choir boy.
00:36:34Good evening, Mr. Gaines.
00:36:36Good evening.
00:36:37Good evening, Danny.
00:36:38Hello, Mr. Gaines.
00:36:39I wish you luck in the contest this evening.
00:36:40Oh, thank you.
00:36:41Thanks a lot.
00:36:42See, that band sounds swell, doesn't it, huh?
00:36:44Sure does.
00:36:45Danny, look, I can't believe it.
00:36:47It's Muggs with a girl.
00:36:48I wonder who she is.
00:36:50Muggs, how'd you get here so fast?
00:36:52We had an upper berth on Superman.
00:36:54Well, I'll see you later.
00:36:55Good luck, Muggs.
00:36:56You'll need it.
00:36:59I want you to check this hat.
00:37:01That's too much.
00:37:04And now for the benefit of you swing shifters,
00:37:29that is, those of you who have to go home early,
00:37:33we're going to have the amateur jitterbug contest immediately.
00:37:37Now, all those contestants will kindly come up to the table
00:37:40and get your numbers.
00:37:41See, we have numbers to put on your back, every one of you.
00:37:43Plenty of them.
00:37:44Come on, folks, up to the table.
00:37:52Dancing alone?
00:37:53Nah.
00:37:54Hey, Glumpy, are you in the contest?
00:37:56Sure.
00:37:57You're a jitterbug.
00:37:58Are you kidding?
00:37:59Me and the members of my family have been bugs for years.
00:38:00Oh, well, where's your suit coat?
00:38:01Suit coat?
00:38:02Couldn't wear it.
00:38:03It's got a hole in the knee.
00:38:04Hey, look, if you don't mind, we have a contest down here.
00:38:06Hey, if she falls down, she'll be home.
00:38:08Funny guy.
00:38:09Got this thing just as good as one.
00:38:13What's the use of dancing a couple hours and expending all that energy?
00:38:16Good luck, Mars.
00:38:17I don't need no luck.
00:38:18This thing's in the bag.
00:38:19Yeah?
00:38:20I hope there's a hole in the bag.
00:38:21Huh?
00:38:22Your number.
00:38:23I don't like that number.
00:38:24Give me the other one, will you, boss?
00:38:25No, it's no good.
00:38:26That's my lucky number.
00:38:28Five.
00:38:29Five.
00:38:30That's the one.
00:38:31You better be lucky, Mars.
00:38:32Oh, you're being very pessimistic.
00:38:34Okay, boys.
00:38:35Let her go.
00:39:04Mm-hmm.
00:39:05Uh-huh.
00:39:06Ha, ha.
00:39:07Oh, my God!
00:39:08Oh, my God.
00:39:09As you are all right.
00:39:11You can't be happy for me, Mars.
00:39:13Ah, my God.
00:39:14I'm not quite happy for you.
00:39:15Oh, my God.
00:39:16I'm not quite happy for you.
00:39:17I'm falling in my hand.
00:39:19That's my place.
00:39:20Good luck.
00:39:21I'm not quite happy for you.
00:39:22Oh, my God.
00:39:23Let her go.
00:39:24Oh, my God.
00:39:25Oh, my God.
00:39:26You are all right.
00:39:27I'm not quite happy, my God.
00:39:28Let her go.
00:39:29Let her go.
00:39:30Oh, my God.
00:39:32¶¶
00:40:02¶¶
00:40:09¶¶
00:40:32¶¶
00:40:32Oh, get your old girls.
00:40:56Come on, second front, let's get some milk.
00:41:02I was getting close to $50 time, old Muggs is sure to win.
00:41:26I'm not going to be a kid.
00:41:33I'm not going to be a kid.
00:41:36I'm not going to be a kid.
00:41:45I'm not going to be a kid, my son, no.
00:41:55¶¶
00:42:24It's too bad, Ivy. I guess they were too good for us.
00:42:27Oh, it's all right. Mugs won anyway.
00:42:44Well, congratulations, Mugs.
00:42:46Thanks. Give me the 50, quick stammer.
00:42:48I've told you a thousand times, my name is Klunkhammer, er, Klinkhammer.
00:42:52Yeah, yeah. We'll overlook your personal difficulties.
00:42:54Shoot the booty to me, Snooty.
00:43:01No.
00:43:02I don't like that look in your eye.
00:43:05I'm sorry, kids.
00:43:07What are you sorry about? I won, didn't I?
00:43:10Well, that all depends.
00:43:12Young lady, do you work at the Silver Slipper Dance Hall?
00:43:15Well, in a way.
00:43:17And you get paid for dancing.
00:43:18Yes, I guess so.
00:43:20Well, that settles it. I'm sorry, I can't give you the prize money.
00:43:23Ladies and gentlemen, quiet, please. Attention.
00:43:26Unfortunately, Mr. McGinnis has been dancing with a professional.
00:43:30How did you expect me to win with an amateur?
00:43:32I gotta have some personal handicap, don't I?
00:43:34Will you please stop butting in when I'm interrupting?
00:43:37Mr. McGinnis has been disqualified,
00:43:39and the real winners of the East Side Amateur Jitterbug Contest
00:43:43are Danny Lyons and Ivy McGinnis.
00:43:48Danny, Danny, we won.
00:43:50We won.
00:43:51Oh, Muggs isn't gonna like this.
00:43:54All right, champions, come and get your money.
00:43:56You're full of perjury, you know that.
00:43:58I won that contest all by myself.
00:44:00I just used the slightest bit of assistance
00:44:02from this young, innocent girl here.
00:44:04Muggs, I told you before, you're disqualified.
00:44:06That means scram.
00:44:08Oh, come on, Muggs, we had fun anyway.
00:44:11Congratulations, Danny, and you too.
00:44:13Thanks a lot.
00:44:14Well, half of this is yours, Ivy.
00:44:15Oh, that's all right, Danny.
00:44:16You keep it for a while.
00:44:17Okay.
00:44:20I've been playing second fiddle of you for a long time, Lyons.
00:44:23But you're gonna look awful funny playing a harp.
00:44:25Uh-uh.
00:44:26Now, now, no fisticuffs.
00:44:28Go part your hair, breakaway.
00:44:33All right, everybody dance.
00:44:34And let the arches fall where they may.
00:44:45See, that's a drag, Muggs.
00:44:46You had to lose that contest after all that fancy hooping.
00:44:49Yes, indeed, Muggs.
00:44:50How did you learn all those fancy steps?
00:44:52I invented them.
00:44:53You're a real hip cut, Pop.
00:44:55You're a killer man.
00:44:56Ah, Danny, congratulations, both of you.
00:44:58That was great stuff.
00:44:59Oh, thanks.
00:45:00Thanks a lot.
00:45:01I'm sure sorry you got disqualified, Muggs.
00:45:03I never saw anybody look any sorrier.
00:45:05Oh, cheer up, Muggsy.
00:45:06It's all in the family anyway.
00:45:08Well, the drinks are on us.
00:45:09What do you have?
00:45:10I have an orange.
00:45:12What are you gonna have, Muggs?
00:45:13I'd like to have a few words with you.
00:45:15There's a lot of little things we gotta discuss.
00:45:18About 50 of them.
00:45:20But I think we better do it in private.
00:45:22Okay, Muggs.
00:45:23Excuse me, honey.
00:45:24I'll be right back.
00:45:25Yeah, he'll be right back.
00:45:29Hey, Climpy, it's too bad.
00:45:30You were disqualified.
00:45:31Professional jealousy.
00:45:32Will you have kids?
00:45:33Climpy's mine.
00:45:34Already got mine.
00:45:35Orange egg.
00:45:36Me too, lemonade.
00:45:37Just make mine water.
00:45:38I'm driving.
00:45:43Come on, walk over to 50.
00:45:44You've been holding it long enough.
00:45:45But Muggs, we won the contest.
00:45:46Technically, yes.
00:45:47Financially, not.
00:45:50You were disqualified.
00:45:51Besides, part of this money is Ivy's.
00:45:53I'll take care of the distribution.
00:45:55Muggs, Danny, what's the matter?
00:45:56You go back to your lemonade.
00:45:57It's a little personal matter.
00:45:58Now, come on.
00:45:59Get it on the line.
00:46:01You can't stand to lose, can you?
00:46:03No, I can't.
00:46:04If you don't give me that dough,
00:46:05I'm gonna belt you one right on the chin.
00:46:07Now, make with the take.
00:46:11Danny, don't do it.
00:46:12Just because he's my brother,
00:46:13don't let him knock you around.
00:46:15That money belongs to us.
00:46:17My palm is itching,
00:46:18and my left is raring to go.
00:46:20If you're gonna get it up,
00:46:21I'll give you one more chance.
00:46:22Okay, Muggs, if that's the way you want it.
00:46:24That's just the way I want it.
00:46:25Half of that's Ivy's, don't forget.
00:46:26I don't want any part of it.
00:46:27Wait a minute, Ivy.
00:46:28I'll take you home.
00:46:29I can find my own way home.
00:46:30Spoken like a true McGinnis.
00:46:31Well, so long, champ.
00:46:35Hey, Danny.
00:46:36Wait a minute.
00:46:37You're leaving the dance rather early, aren't you?
00:46:41Well, I was getting pretty tired.
00:46:42Doesn't everyone take what Muggs hands out?
00:46:44I'm not afraid of Muggs.
00:46:45I know that.
00:46:46I'm not afraid of Muggs.
00:46:47I know that.
00:46:48But he thinks you are.
00:46:49Did you ever think of joining another gang?
00:46:50That would be right.
00:46:51That would be right.
00:46:52I'm not afraid of Muggs.
00:46:53I'm not afraid of Muggs.
00:46:54I know that.
00:46:55But he thinks you are.
00:46:56Did you ever think of joining another gang?
00:46:57That would be running away.
00:46:58Not the outfit I'm talking about.
00:46:59They'll be glad to get you.
00:47:00They will sooner or later.
00:47:01You'll be fighting all kinds of bullies.
00:47:02Like Muggs?
00:47:03Worse.
00:47:04These bullies are called japs and nazis.
00:47:05You mean the army?
00:47:06That won't be running away, Danny.
00:47:07I'm not afraid of Muggs.
00:47:08Hey, I'm tired.
00:47:09I'm tired.
00:47:10I'm tired.
00:47:11Isn't everyone going to take what Muggs hands out?
00:47:12I'm not afraid of Muggs.
00:47:13I know that.
00:47:14But he thinks you are.
00:47:15Did you ever think of joining another gang?
00:47:16That would be running away.
00:47:17Not the outfit I'm talking about.
00:47:19They'll be glad to get you.
00:47:20They will sooner or later.
00:47:23And you'll be fighting all kinds of bullies.
00:47:24Like Muggs?
00:47:25Worse.
00:47:26These bullies are called japs and nazis.
00:47:30You mean the army.
00:47:32That won't be running away, Danny. That's real fighting.
00:47:37They tried to get me and 17, but couldn't finish the job.
00:47:41There I go, talking about that again.
00:47:46We'll talk it over some more.
00:47:48See you in the morning, Danny.
00:47:50Yes, sir.
00:47:51Good night, Mr. Gendick.
00:47:52Good night.
00:47:57And then I met Mr. Gendick outside.
00:48:00Your father and Mr. Louis Gendick were very good friends.
00:48:03They fought together over in France.
00:48:06I'll bet Pop was a good soldier.
00:48:09One of the best.
00:48:11What are you thinking of, Danny?
00:48:16I'm thinking what a lot of us fellas should have done weeks ago.
00:48:20I'm joining the Army with your consent.
00:48:25For that kind of fighting, Danny, always.
00:48:28I'm proud to have you go.
00:48:30I wonder what Ivy will think.
00:48:36Do you mean to say that Danny stood there and did nothing about it?
00:48:42Muggs might be a bully and all that, but Danny doesn't even stand up for his own rights.
00:48:46Well, it seems to me that if Danny had a little of what Muggs has,
00:48:50and vice versa, you'd have something.
00:48:52You're still like Danny anyway, don't you, honey?
00:49:03I don't think you're going to see him around so much.
00:49:07R-Q-O-P-L-Y-Z-M...
00:49:15Hello, Glippi.
00:49:16Don't tell me you want to go to work.
00:49:18Why?
00:49:19Just give myself an eye test.
00:49:20Hey, what happened to Danny?
00:49:21You fired him?
00:49:22Danny quit.
00:49:23Quit?
00:49:24What'd he do?
00:49:24A failure go to his head?
00:49:25He had a special reason of his own.
00:49:28I don't think you boys are going to see him around so much.
00:49:30Okay, I'll play straight.
00:49:31Tell me.
00:49:32Danny's joined a new gang.
00:49:34New gang?
00:49:35Bring him around.
00:49:35They're going to rub their heads together and make a bonfire out of them.
00:49:38But this gang is really tough.
00:49:40Tough.
00:49:40That's different.
00:49:41New gang?
00:49:43Muggs ain't going to like this.
00:49:45Fantastic.
00:49:46How do you make those hangers, Muggs?
00:49:47Just practice.
00:49:48Just practice.
00:49:48That's all.
00:49:49Hey!
00:49:49I can remember one time in Chicago...
00:49:50Hey!
00:49:50Get out of this!
00:49:51Don't lose what I got to tell you.
00:49:52Listen quietly.
00:49:53Listen.
00:49:53Now speak English.
00:49:54Danny's left.
00:49:55He's gone away.
00:49:56Why do I care about Danny?
00:49:57Yeah, but he's joined a new gang.
00:49:58What gang?
00:49:59I don't know.
00:49:59Gendick's wouldn't tell me.
00:50:00What's Gendick know about it?
00:50:02Nothing.
00:50:02As long as he said, it was very tough and they controlled the whole country.
00:50:06I'm going to get even with Gendick one of these days.
00:50:08Yeah, he always sticks up for Danny.
00:50:10That's why you never got the job.
00:50:11I'll tell you what to do.
00:50:13You fellas scatter around, see what you can find out about Danny and his new gang of his
00:50:16and come back here and let me know.
00:50:20Come out of your tone deaf.
00:50:22Oh, don't be so gruesome.
00:50:23Hey, Muggs, what is this about Danny?
00:50:33Oh, I'd rather not talk about it.
00:50:35Nick!
00:50:35Nick!
00:50:37Hello, Peter.
00:50:38What's the matter?
00:50:39Look, look what they did.
00:50:44Murderous.
00:50:45My parents.
00:50:47What do I do about them?
00:50:49Oh, don't worry, Peter.
00:50:50Go over to the consulate.
00:50:52He will advise you what to do.
00:50:55You mean to say those Nazis just walked in and snuffed out a whole town just like that?
00:50:59Yes.
00:51:00It was no bigger than our neighborhood from Mott Street to this block.
00:51:06Hey, Nick.
00:51:07What's this?
00:51:08What are you doing?
00:51:09Going to school or something?
00:51:10Or this?
00:51:11I'm studying to be an American citizen.
00:51:16You mean to say you ain't a citizen?
00:51:18I soon will be.
00:51:20Soon as I know what's in here.
00:51:22Is it very tough?
00:51:24Some of the questions are easy, and others you have to study again and again.
00:51:29I don't see why you have to know all that stuff.
00:51:31That's the trouble with you and a lot of people.
00:51:34You take your citizenship for granted.
00:51:36You should know all these things, just like you know the name of your friends.
00:51:40I know the whole book from cover to cover.
00:51:42Go ahead, ask me some questions.
00:51:44All right.
00:51:45What are the first ten amendments called?
00:51:49Uh, better ask me another question.
00:51:52The book's full of them, ain't it?
00:51:53Oh, if you don't know that, there's no use of going any further.
00:51:56The first ten amendments are called the Bill of Rights.
00:52:00Did you ever read them?
00:52:02Not recently.
00:52:04Well, the Bill of Rights simply means freedom and protection.
00:52:08It has a lot of clauses, but after all in all,
00:52:11it's like the four freedoms the President talks about.
00:52:15Well, uh, those people must have kind of missed the boat on that setup, huh?
00:52:19Oh, but they will get those things pretty soon.
00:52:22And that's why our boys are journeying the Army.
00:52:27You mean all those fellows used to come in here and shoot pool
00:52:29and all those guys that had joined the Army,
00:52:31they know all about this Bill of Rights and Amendments?
00:52:33Maybe not.
00:52:35But in their hearts they know.
00:52:38Like you, Muggs.
00:52:39I saw your face when you read that paper.
00:52:43I didn't have to tell you about the Bill of Rights.
00:52:47Americans are born with it in their hearts.
00:52:50And it just has to come out sooner or later.
00:53:07Where are you going, Muggs?
00:53:09Muggs.
00:53:18Guess what, guess what.
00:53:19What?
00:53:20Danny's joined the Army.
00:53:21Danny did what?
00:53:22Don't you hear my voice? Danny's joined the Army.
00:53:24Maybe he wants to fight now.
00:53:26Yeah, I'm just in the mood.
00:53:28What are you going to do?
00:53:30I'm going to do nothing.
00:53:31Exactly nothing.
00:53:33What's the matter, Muggsy?
00:53:57What's the trouble, Muggs?
00:53:58I've never seen you this way before.
00:54:01What's wrong with me anyway, Ma?
00:54:03Why say that? There's nothing ever wrong with a McGinnis.
00:54:06Everything I do turns out wrong.
00:54:08I'm always making enemies.
00:54:10I don't like to hurt nobody, Ma.
00:54:12I always try to do the right thing.
00:54:15Once in a while, I've got to kick the fellas around the club a little bit,
00:54:17but that's just to show them I'm the leader, that's all.
00:54:19What's the real trouble, Muggs?
00:54:23I want your consent to join the Army.
00:54:26What brought this on?
00:54:28Well, Danny's in the Army.
00:54:31Strutting around like a peacock in that new uniform is with the brass buttons and everything.
00:54:36Look, Ma, I can beat Danny.
00:54:37I can beat him in anything.
00:54:38I've been beating him all my life.
00:54:40I'll be a captain.
00:54:41I'll be a major.
00:54:42I can still beat him.
00:54:43If that's the reason you want to join, I don't think you'll make a good soldier.
00:54:50That's not the reason, Ma.
00:54:52There's other reasons.
00:54:53I can't explain them.
00:54:54Just give me your consent, will you?
00:54:55No.
00:54:56Not until you're drafted, or I think you really want to fight for your country and not just to show Danny up.
00:55:03Well, Muggs never kept you away from Ivy.
00:55:18No, and he won't be able to after tonight.
00:55:23More ways than one.
00:55:25Look, Ma.
00:55:27An engagement drink.
00:55:29It's pretty, isn't it?
00:55:31I know someday you and Ivy would.
00:55:33Does she know?
00:55:35No.
00:55:36I didn't know whether to tell Muggs first or...
00:55:39Tell Muggs?
00:55:41Get on your feet, soldier.
00:55:43Now, you listen to me, Danny Lyons.
00:55:47You're a man now.
00:55:49Sooner or later, Muggs McGinnis is going to find this out.
00:55:52You go and give that ring to Ivy.
00:55:55And forget about Muggs.
00:55:58Thanks, Ma.
00:56:13Hey, wait a minute.
00:56:16You cheated.
00:56:17How can you win a game of solitaire without cheating?
00:56:20At least once.
00:56:21Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:56:22I've seen him, I've seen him, I've seen him.
00:56:24Quit those semi-hysterics.
00:56:25You've seen who?
00:56:26I saw Danny in his uniform.
00:56:28He even saluted me.
00:56:29Hey, wait a minute.
00:56:30What's the matter?
00:56:31I'm going to think of it.
00:56:32He didn't have his thumb in the right place.
00:56:34Where was he going?
00:56:35Towards your house.
00:56:36He was, huh?
00:56:37Going to strut his uniform up in front of Ivy.
00:56:39Where are you going?
00:56:41Oh, I'm going to have a little chat with him, that's all.
00:56:43Wait a minute.
00:56:43With Danny in the army, you can't boss him around like you used to.
00:56:46I'm still head man around here.
00:56:47You fellas follow me at a safe distance
00:56:49and you'll find out whatever or not I can force him.
00:57:01Why, Danny.
00:57:02Hello, Mrs. McGinnis.
00:57:03Where did you get back?
00:57:04Well, I got in about an hour ago.
00:57:06Oh, wait till Ivy sees you.
00:57:08Ivy.
00:57:09Why, you look fine in your uniform.
00:57:10I think you've put some weight on.
00:57:12You look splendid.
00:57:13How have you been?
00:57:14He's fine.
00:57:14Danny, dear, what a surprise.
00:57:16Hello, Ivy.
00:57:17I brought you some popcorn.
00:57:18Oh, popcorn?
00:57:20Well, I've heard of boys bringing orchids and candies,
00:57:22but never popcorn.
00:57:23Oh, my dear, please.
00:57:24Well, I suppose you two kids haven't seen each other in a long time
00:57:28and you want to be alone.
00:57:29Yes.
00:57:30No.
00:57:30I'll be right back.
00:57:32Oh.
00:57:33In about three hours.
00:57:34Oh.
00:57:35Come on, Danny, sit down.
00:57:36I want you to tell me everything you've been doing.
00:57:40It's a long story.
00:57:42Well, you've got the wrong bag.
00:57:44Well, what's the difference?
00:57:44Popcorn's popcorn.
00:57:46Well, there's a little more in this one.
00:57:48Oh, all right.
00:57:51Good.
00:57:53You know, the popcorn man told me you sometimes find a prize in these.
00:57:56Oh, really?
00:57:57Mm-hmm.
00:57:58Gee, it's been so lonesome without you.
00:57:59Well, Danny, hey, look, I found one.
00:58:05Did you see?
00:58:06What did I tell you?
00:58:07It's just like an engagement ring.
00:58:09What do you mean, like?
00:58:10It is.
00:58:12You put it in there?
00:58:13Uh-huh.
00:58:14That means we're engaged?
00:58:16If you want to be.
00:58:18Oh, Danny, here.
00:58:27Well, how romantic.
00:58:29Ah, Romeo and Cleopatra.
00:58:32Don't be obnoxious.
00:58:33This is no time for compliments.
00:58:34Muggs, I want you to meet your future brother-in-law.
00:58:36Since when are you making the decisions around here?
00:58:38Danny and I are engaged.
00:58:40That's right.
00:58:40I don't know how long this has been going on,
00:58:42but you're disengaged right now.
00:58:43Yeah, and I'll have you both to know.
00:58:45What's the idea, Muggs?
00:58:47This is my house, ain't it?
00:58:48I'll ask the questions around here.
00:58:50Muggs, please.
00:58:51Watch out.
00:58:51You'll hurt my arm.
00:58:53Boys are downstairs.
00:58:54They'd like to see you.
00:58:55Besides, I'd like to have a little talk with you.
00:58:58If Ivy can spare you for a few minutes,
00:58:59I'll be right back, Danny.
00:59:23Say, boy, do you look rude in that suit?
00:59:26Yes, sir.
00:59:27We really thought you'd join a new gang.
00:59:29No wonder Gendick said your gang had a couple of million guys.
00:59:31And they're all swell fellas, too.
00:59:33All right, break it up.
00:59:34Cut the gab.
00:59:37What's on your mind, Muggs?
00:59:38Oh, nothing much.
00:59:39I just want to stop these boys before they start kissing you.
00:59:43You know, I'm still head man around here,
00:59:44and I don't like to see the old gang bust up.
00:59:46So I'm going to give you a chance to get back in.
00:59:48He's in the Army.
00:59:49He don't like our gang.
00:59:50Well, heck, I don't.
00:59:51I still want to be a member.
00:59:52I'll give you a chance to prove that.
00:59:54How can I?
00:59:55Gendick likes you a lot, doesn't he?
00:59:57Yeah, and he'd like you, too, if he gave him half a chance.
01:00:00I'm not interested in the old boys socially.
01:00:02I'm just interested in those new tires he's got.
01:00:04What?
01:00:05You kidding?
01:00:06No, I'm not kidding.
01:00:07And I need you to help me.
01:00:09You want me to help you rob Gendicks?
01:00:11What for?
01:00:12But don't.
01:00:12That's what for.
01:00:13But, Muggs, you know...
01:00:14Oh, my mind.
01:00:15You may belong to a new gang,
01:00:16but you're still taking orders from me.
01:00:17Okay, Muggs.
01:00:22Anything you say.
01:00:24Get a hold of Gendick and get him in a conversation.
01:00:26The main thing is to get him wait in the front of that store.
01:00:29Suppose you get caught.
01:00:30I got an alibi.
01:00:31And fight him or we got an excuse.
01:00:33Just tell him he looks like he needs a glass of milk or something.
01:00:35Take him down to McGillicuddy's.
01:00:36Okay.
01:00:38Take it easy.
01:00:40Boys, there goes a chump.
01:00:43What are you whistling about?
01:00:47Well, what brings you around here this time of night?
01:00:50Well, I was sort of strolling and...
01:00:52I have to get to bed early at camp, so...
01:00:54Oh, just the novelty of staying up, eh?
01:00:57Yeah, I guess that's it.
01:00:58Well, sit down, Dan, and tell me all about army life.
01:01:01Yeah.
01:01:03Hey, they're sitting down.
01:01:04They must be tired.
01:01:06What's that slug trying to do?
01:01:07I told him to get Gendick out of there.
01:01:09Looks like he's giving you the double cross.
01:01:11Well, if he knows what's good for him,
01:01:12he's going to take Gendick for that walk.
01:01:14Maybe he's trying to save his rubber heels.
01:01:17You're looking well, Danny.
01:01:19The army must be treating you all right.
01:01:21Oh, I've been feeling great.
01:01:22I've only been in a month and I put on 50 pounds.
01:01:2450 pounds?
01:01:26Yeah.
01:01:27Two in weight and 48 in equipment.
01:01:31How do you like that?
01:01:32Danny turned a stool pigeon.
01:01:34So what?
01:01:35Gendick's would have caught us anyway.
01:01:36There's only one thing to mix that deal up.
01:01:38I'm going to fix that right now.
01:01:40Hey, we're going back to the pool room.
01:01:41I got a date with an eight ball.
01:01:42You ever hear the old maximum business before pleasure?
01:01:45Well, this is old business.
01:01:46Danny?
01:01:48For once and for all.
01:01:50Is the back of the garage all locked up?
01:01:52Well, sure.
01:01:53It's always locked up at night.
01:01:55You know that.
01:01:55I should not.
01:01:56I used to work for you.
01:02:02Well, I have to be running along now.
01:02:04Good night, Mr. Gendick.
01:02:05Good night, Danny.
01:02:07Drop in again before you go back to camp.
01:02:09I sure will.
01:02:10Good night.
01:02:13Good night.
01:02:14What's the matter?
01:02:14You got a hole in your memory?
01:02:15I talked to Gendick, just like you told me to.
01:02:17Sure, you talked to him.
01:02:19If you didn't follow my orders, you're doing an important job and you hedged on it.
01:02:23You weren't really going to rob Gendick.
01:02:25You just wanted to get me in trouble.
01:02:26Still the same old jellyfish, huh?
01:02:28You must be crazy to think I'd help you pull a job like that, especially in these.
01:02:33Look, I'm still head man around here.
01:02:35And when I say something, I want it done.
01:02:36I'm sorry, Muggs, but I'm through taking that kind of orders.
01:02:39I think I can still keep you in line.
01:02:41I've been doing it all my life.
01:02:45Here, Beanie.
01:02:47Is she kidding?
01:02:49No, I'm not kidding, Muggs.
01:02:50You've been asking for this for a long time, and now you're finally going to get it.
01:02:54Make yourself nice and comfortable so when you fall, you won't hurt yourself.
01:02:57Yeah, you better be comfortable.
01:02:58You better be comfortable.
01:02:59Hey, watch it, Muggs.
01:03:06How'd you like that, Muggs?
01:03:08I love it.
01:03:21Well, have you had enough?
01:03:24Yeah.
01:03:25Yeah, I guess that fills the bill.
01:03:27No hard feelings, huh, Muggs?
01:03:35Yeah.
01:03:36I always said the guy that married my sister would have to lick me first, and you've done it.
01:03:40I'm sure glad it worked out this way, Muggs.
01:03:42Well, I'm not glad, but it's all right.
01:03:44Well, we cleaned that place out, and what can we get some more?
01:03:49Yeah, let's see, Muggs.
01:03:50You know that, don't you?
01:03:50Yeah, oh, no, oh, no.
01:03:51Oh, no, oh, no.
01:03:52Hey, well, look who's coming in there.
01:03:53Look who's coming in there.
01:03:53Hey, Muggs.
01:03:54Yes, how are you, Muggs?
01:03:55Oh, you look great.
01:03:56What are you boys doing?
01:03:57Oh, we're taking that scrap metal down to Gendick's garage for the salvage drive.
01:04:01Hey, didn't they get Gendick for the Army yet?
01:04:03Not yet.
01:04:04Well, I'm glad to see you, boys.
01:04:05It's just close cooperation with the armed forces.
01:04:07Keep up the good work.
01:04:08It's too bad us guys couldn't make it.
01:04:09But we'll be in there with you next year.
01:04:10Yeah.
01:04:11With Danny, Glimpy, and I in there, the war will be over next year.
01:04:13Hey, look, do you see what I see?
01:04:21Oh, no, it can't be.
01:04:29Ivy.
01:04:30Salute your superior officer.
01:04:32Yes, sir.
01:04:33Yes, ma'am.
01:04:34Private lines, get in.
01:04:36Yes, ma'am.
01:04:39Boy, ain't this a swell army?
01:04:41Where else could a bug private get a second lieutenant down?
01:04:43I like it, in spite of all my objections.
