00:00:30The End

00:01:00Hello, Farmer. This is Miller.

00:01:28No, I don't want the desk. I want to talk to Phelps.

00:01:35Yeah?

00:01:37All right. Put him on.

00:01:40Hello, Miller. What's the beef this time?

00:01:42Oh, why shouldn't I squawk?

00:01:44I stay out all night on revenue boats chasing rum runners, and there's no story.

00:01:47Besides, haven't you heard?

00:01:49They don't bring it in anymore. They ship it out.

00:01:51Being a newspaper man, you wouldn't know that.

00:01:54And my new cap, ruined by the fog, not to mention the seagulls.

00:01:57Well, cry on somebody else's shoulder. I'm busy.

00:02:00If I do any crying, it'll be on my pillow.

00:02:03Goodbye with a raspberry.

00:02:04Hey.

00:02:26Hey.

00:02:29No, no.

00:02:32Not tonight, Josephine.

00:02:35Hey.

00:02:41Who are you?

00:02:43Oh, nobody much.

00:02:45Just the guy that owns the bed and the gin.

00:02:48Very bad.

00:02:49All three of them.

00:02:50What do you mean, three?

00:02:53Book you're writing.

00:02:54Oh.

00:02:55Who are you, anyway?

00:03:01There's a letter over there.

00:03:02Tell you all about it.

00:03:12Oh.

00:03:13So you're a newspaper man, huh?

00:03:16Friend of Pete Barrett's.

00:03:18Old classmate of mine.

00:03:20Hey, how is he?

00:03:21As useless as ever?

00:03:22How's he doing in Chicago?

00:03:25Fine.

00:03:27Great newspaper town, isn't it?

00:03:30What are you doing in this dump?

00:03:32Looking for a word.

00:03:34Any good jobs in your shop?

00:03:36No, I got the only good one, and that's terrible.

00:03:39Take my advice and go back to Chicago.

00:03:41I wish I could.

00:03:42Looks pretty good to me right here.

00:03:45Yeah?

00:03:45I thought so once.

00:03:47Pete says you cover the waterfront.

00:03:49Sounds like a good assignment.

00:03:51Yeah.

00:03:53You cover everything from black plague to herring smells.

00:03:55And don't get anywhere.

00:03:56I've been doing it so long, the seagulls know me.

00:04:03Well, you mind if I get the bed?

00:04:08I'll tell you what.

00:04:09I'll cover the waterfront, you go back to Chicago, and I'll keep the bed.

00:04:14Come on, Gibb, will you?

00:04:18What a fine host you turned out to be.

00:04:21Now, look what you've done.

00:04:23I'm wide awake.

00:04:26All right.

00:04:28I might as well see what this place looks like in the daytime.

00:04:36Oh, what a little harbor.

00:04:38It's grown.

00:04:49It's a giant, beautiful harbor.

00:04:51I think so.

00:04:53There's an old guy out there with a rowboat full of junk.

00:04:56Seems to be dragging the harbor.

00:04:58The only one around here that's got the depression leak.

00:05:01And his own boss, too.

00:05:03He drags the bottom of the harbor and lives off the stuff other people throw away.

00:05:06Hey, anybody left that's got anything to throw away?

00:05:09Oh, shut up, will you?

00:05:30Who's the floozy?

00:05:34Oh, just the girl I want to marry.

00:05:36I'm sorry.

00:05:39You love her.

00:05:40Local talent?

00:05:41I should say not.

00:05:43Vermont.

00:05:45That way you want to get out?

00:05:46That's one reason.

00:05:50Oh, it never fails.

00:05:56Oh, so you're going to play Indian.

00:05:58Hello?

00:06:05Listen, weeping Willie.

00:06:07I've got a hot lead for you.

00:06:09A woman just phoned in that a girl is swimming in Santiana Cove without any clothes on.

00:06:14Then send the fashion editor out to cover it.

00:06:17I've been out all night chasing down one of your crazy leads.

00:06:20Now, lay off me, will you?

00:06:20I need some sleep.

00:06:21I don't pay you to sleep.

00:06:23Go out and get that story.

00:06:24From the way the old lady described it, it's news.

00:06:28I'll switch the call.

00:06:30Switch this call.

00:06:32Here you are.

00:06:33No clothes at all.

00:06:34Lady, right in front of my house.

00:06:36Then how do you know she hasn't got any clothes on?

00:06:39I have a telescope.

00:06:42Then what are you kicking about?

00:06:44What?

00:07:06I suppose you look through keyholes, too.

00:07:16If there are any around your house, I do.

00:07:17From now on.

00:07:18Are you going to get me my suit, or do I have to go over there and get it?

00:07:22Is this your suit?

00:07:23No.

00:07:24No, it's my grandmother's, but she lets me use it.

00:07:27Well, then why don't you?

00:07:29Because I like to swim without one, don't you?

00:07:32Now, don't change the subject.

00:07:34This is business with me.

00:07:35You don't think I'm here because I like it.

00:07:38Oh, pardon me.

00:07:40I just had an idea you were sitting there looking at me because I didn't have any clothes on.

00:07:44Oh, haven't you?

00:07:45I hadn't noticed.

00:07:47Oh, you're very funny.

00:07:49Come on now, give me that.

00:07:51You know, I'm supposed to get a story about you.

00:07:54There have been complaints.

00:07:56What?

00:07:57About my swimming here?

00:07:58Yeah, the neighbors.

00:07:59They're kicking.

00:08:01What neighbors?

00:08:03Up there.

00:08:05A telescope made them very close neighbors.

00:08:08Oh, I bet it was a woman.

00:08:11Of course.

00:08:11No gentleman would say a word.

00:08:14And you're a gentleman, of course.

00:08:16I haven't said a word.

00:08:18Come on, give me that suit.

00:08:20By the way, what's your name?

00:08:25Julie Kirk.

00:08:27Kirk?

00:08:28Eli Kirk's daughter?

00:08:30Yeah.

00:08:31Say, I know your old man.

00:08:33Isn't that just dandy?

00:08:36Come on now, will you please give me my suit?

00:08:39Sure.

00:08:41Take it out and have it filled for me.

00:08:44Well, I'll be seeing you.

00:08:44You've seen too much of me already.

00:08:48Oh, dear up.

00:09:17You can't possibly feel as bad as I do.

00:09:19Oh, that plucked Phelps chasing me all over the bay for squibs and fillers that could be handled by the rewrite desk.

00:09:24All editors are fatheads.

00:09:27Except when you're looking for a job.

00:09:30Give me Phelps.

00:09:34Yeah?

00:09:35Well, the girl's name's Kirk.

00:09:36Julie Kirk.

00:09:37She swims raw because she likes it.

00:09:39And you know what you can do with a story.

00:09:41Okay.

00:09:42We'll play it up big.

00:09:43Make it a nudist colony.

00:09:44Police refuse to interfere.

00:09:46Decent citizens up in arms and so forth.

00:09:48Go ahead.

00:09:49Plaster it all over the front page.

00:09:51But if you had any real editorial sense, you'd let me go after a father.

00:09:54There's a real story there.

00:09:55There you go.

00:09:56Eli Kirk again.

00:09:58I tell you what's cold.

00:09:59The boys in the Coast Guard have been watching him for a month and haven't got a thing on him.

00:10:03Now, listen, you mental midget.

00:10:05There's Chinese smuggling going on in this port.

00:10:08And Kirk's at the bottom of it.

00:10:11Of course, if you don't want the story, I'll give it to McGurk of the Herald.

00:10:14All right, mental giant.

00:10:16Go after Kirk.

00:10:17But if you miss...

00:10:19Thanks, Big Heart.

00:10:20I take back all the mean things I thought about you.

00:10:24Now, there's a great guy.

00:10:26At last we agree.

00:10:28Well, two guys agree.

00:10:30One of them is unnecessary.

00:10:32All city editors are unnecessary.

00:10:44There you are.

00:10:46Thank you, Captain.

00:10:48When you can't make a living off tuna, you might just as well fish for a yellowtail.

00:10:55You know, they ain't bad folks.

00:10:56And somebody's got to do the washing.

00:10:59Him, for instance.

00:11:01He give me the 700 to get him across.

00:11:04Look what he wrapped it up in.

00:11:07Poorly, eh?

00:11:09Hey, Captain.

00:11:10That's going to look very funny, are you?

00:11:13For me?

00:11:15Well, that's for Julie, my daughter.

00:11:16Oh.

00:11:17Oh.

00:11:26Every time I look at this fish, I have to laugh.

00:11:36Oh, Captain, you very smart man.

00:11:39And you've got to be smart these days.

00:11:41Them coastguards are on to everything.

00:11:45Almost.

00:11:49What's that?

00:11:49Looks like coastguards now.

00:11:56Maybe.

00:11:57Come on, let's get busy.

00:11:58Frank!

00:11:59Bring a piece of anchor chain.

00:12:00You're hot in the kitchen later.

00:12:01Pay attention.

00:12:02Let it hot in the beer.

00:12:04Quiet there.

00:12:05Quiet.

00:12:08Wrap that round his legs.

00:12:09Capitan, for why the chain?

00:12:14So is your sink.

00:12:15If that kind of stops us, we don't want no evidence floating around.

00:12:18Tough on him, all right.

00:12:20Nah, he knows he's got to take a chance to get into the States.

00:12:24Huh.

00:12:28Looks like they're going to bore us all right.

00:12:30Get him over the rail, but don't drop him until I get the word, see?

00:12:39All right, let go.

00:12:51Now, Capitan?

00:12:52Yes, now.

00:12:54Let go.

00:12:55Let go.

00:13:09What do you got aboard?

00:13:22Fish.

00:13:23Mind if we take a look?

00:13:25No.

00:13:29Hello, Kirk.

00:13:31Looking for another story to write about me?

00:13:34Yeah.

00:13:35I'm going to make you famous.

00:13:37Put your picture on every front page in the country.

00:13:40If nothing happens to you...

00:13:43Nothing's going to happen to me.

00:13:45Are you sure of that?

00:13:46So sure I've got the end of the story written already.

00:13:49Your obituary.

00:13:51It says you were a pretty smart guy, Kirk.

00:13:54But you took Chinese money.

00:14:04Bullseye.

00:14:06Come on, Miller.

00:14:06There's nothing aboard.

00:14:09I'll be seeing you again, Kirk.

00:14:32Julie!

00:14:37Hello, Eli!

00:14:39Hello, kids!

00:14:42How are you, Julie?

00:14:44Fine.

00:14:44Did you have any luck?

00:14:46All the luck in the world.

00:14:48All the luck in the world having you to come home to again.

00:14:53Oh, now, don't get sentimental.

00:14:55Did you have a good cruise?

00:14:56What?

00:14:57Oh, sure, yes.

00:14:59What's the matter?

00:14:59Fish not biting?

00:15:01Yeah, sure it was biting.

00:15:03I brought you something.

00:15:06Oh, gee, thanks.

00:15:07What is it?

00:15:09Go on, open it up.

00:15:10I can't.

00:15:11Here, here.

00:15:12Wait a minute.

00:15:15There.

00:15:15Oh, say.

00:15:21Oh, that's the most beautiful thing I ever saw.

00:15:24Oh, it ain't much.

00:15:26Oh.

00:15:26Hello, Chris.

00:15:43Any news?

00:15:45Hello.

00:15:46Hello.

00:15:48Catching anything today?

00:15:50Oh, I picked up a pretty fair rubber boot over by the lighthouse.

00:15:54What about a dime?

00:15:56Who'd buy one rubber boot?

00:15:58One-legged guy.

00:16:01Got a sack of whiskey last week.

00:16:04Any of it left?

00:16:05No.

00:16:06How much you get for it?

00:16:08A good drunk.

00:16:11Got something.

00:16:16Easy.

00:16:18What?

00:16:20Slip off.

00:16:21Did it feel kind of funny?

00:16:24Get...

00:16:25Coming up crooked.

00:16:44Sharks around here getting highfalutin'.

00:16:46Yellow bait ain't good enough.

00:16:48How long do you think he's been in the water?

00:16:51Oh, not more than a day.

00:16:54Crabs ain't good at him yet.

00:16:56You know everything that goes on around here below the surface?

00:16:59Yeah.

00:16:59How have you got it figured?

00:17:00Well, son.

00:17:02This here chink didn't put them there chains around his feet himself.

00:17:07With them chains around his feet, he didn't do much jumping.

00:17:10Looks like he was dunked.

00:17:14Seeing as he's used to it, I'll dunk him again.

00:17:18Oh, no, you won't.

00:17:19This poor chink tried pretty hard to get in the United States.

00:17:22I'm taking him in.

00:17:24Now, don't go flicking your tail at trouble.

00:17:28Whoever tied them chains around him ain't going to thank you none.

00:17:30Never mind.

00:17:32Sell me this chink.

00:17:33He's news.

00:17:34Huh?

00:17:35All in.

00:17:35It's all Phelps.

00:17:36I want to see him.

00:17:36And get a photographer.

00:17:38What do you got in the bundle, Miller?

00:17:39What is this?

00:17:41Thanks, Rico.

00:17:43Ow!

00:17:44Thanks, Joe.

00:17:45What have you got there?

00:17:46What's the idea?

00:17:47I got evidence.

00:17:48What do you mean by bringing that in here?

00:17:49Get it out!

00:17:50What is it?

00:17:52Something a tie dragged in.

00:17:54Come on, get half smart, will you?

00:17:56Do you get it?

00:17:57Kirk drowned the evidence, and the tie dragged it in.

00:18:01That's simple enough for you to understand.

00:18:03Do you want me to print that?

00:18:05What do you think I want you to do with it?

00:18:07Have it stuffed?

00:18:08If we print one line about Kirk's boat and your story of finding this body,

00:18:13we'll have a libel suit on our hands.

00:18:15Probably cost us 50 grand.

00:18:16Oh, for the love of my.

00:18:18See this chain?

00:18:20Come here, will you?

00:18:23The same chain.

00:18:24Came off of Kirk's boat.

00:18:25I checked it.

00:18:26I wouldn't care if the chink had Kirk's drawers on.

00:18:30The police won't make an arrest on that evidence.

00:18:32I want an arrest.

00:18:33But it's true.

00:18:34Have I ever been wrong?

00:18:35Yes.

00:18:36The time you got that crazy countess off the Laconia,

00:18:39said she was expecting a baby.

00:18:41Ha!

00:18:41She wasn't even married.

00:18:42Oh, well, that was the story.

00:18:44Well, she sued and collected.

00:18:46And when you pulled that yarn about the porpoise

00:18:48that swallowed a pint of rye and danced a jig on the dock.

00:18:51The greatest fish story since Jonah and the whale.

00:18:54Can I help having imagination?

00:18:55Come in here.

00:19:02The trouble with you is you've got too much imagination.

00:19:05Why do you want to accuse Eli Kirk of murder?

00:19:08On a thing like this, you can only be wrong once.

00:19:11It's a great story.

00:19:12You're right about that.

00:19:13And I want to print it.

00:19:14But I've got to have the facts first.

00:19:16All right, it's a fact.

00:19:18I found this one, and it's a fact somebody murdered him.

00:19:20And I'm going to prove that Kirk did it.

00:19:22How?

00:19:24Kirk's got a daughter.

00:19:25She must know something.

00:19:27Is it worth expenses to you?

00:19:29What for?

00:19:30Gin and roses.

00:19:32Going to make love to her.

00:19:33If I have to.

00:19:37Okay.

00:19:39Say, Julie, you don't remember much about Singapore, do you?

00:19:42No.

00:19:43Oh, Grant.

00:19:44Well, I love that funny little island, remember?

00:19:48Which you...

00:19:49Yeah.

00:19:49Oh, it was fun.

00:19:52How'd you like to go back there?

00:19:56You figuring to move?

00:19:57Mm-hmm.

00:19:58Oh, I've been kind of restless lately.

00:20:01Yes, I've got the tide in my blood.

00:20:04Besides, I...

00:20:05I don't like the price of fish around here.

00:20:09Eli, you're not in any trouble, are you?

00:20:11Why, why, no.

00:20:16Not exactly.

00:20:18I thought you were going to stick to fishing.

00:20:22You're not going to change your mind, are you?

00:20:25Well, there ain't no money in it anymore.

00:20:28We'd better go away someplace else and start over.

00:20:34Well, when do you want to leave?

00:20:36Oh, another week or two, and I'll have enough money.

00:20:39Okay.

00:20:41All right.

00:20:43Anytime you say.

00:20:45Anywhere you want.

00:20:48Only take me alone.

00:20:50Anywhere you want.

00:21:21Just when I started to feel good, you poor ice would all in the parade.

00:21:30I can't spend all Phelps dough buying you liquor.

00:21:32I got to get this story.

00:21:34Now, here's where we're going.

00:21:36Wait a minute.

00:21:38Boarding out?

00:21:41Well, I'm going to have to drag you from one speakeasy to another.

00:21:45It's all right with me, but why?

00:21:47You hear that?

00:21:48Sure.

00:21:48It's Kirk.

00:21:49When he plays the piano, he's drunk.

00:21:51And when he's drunk, he talks.

00:21:53Come on.

00:22:04Ain't that beautiful?

00:22:06Oh, I eat little girls like you.

00:22:12Why, Grandma, what big teeth you have.

00:22:17Come on, Mac.

00:22:18They're not good to eat.

00:22:19What's the matter with you?

00:22:20Aren't you interested in girls?

00:22:22No.

00:22:22Oh, I forgot.

00:22:24You're a love.

00:22:25Girl in a full month.

00:22:27What's the matter with her, anyway?

00:22:29Nothing's the matter with her.

00:22:30Now, she's waited for you for five years.

00:22:32She must be muscle-bound.

00:22:34Oh, shut up and sit down, will you?

00:22:37What is your name, baby?

00:22:39Lucy, handsome.

00:22:43Lucy.

00:22:43I've never heard of that, isn't it?

00:22:47You don't hear this fool of a boy.

00:22:48I don't know.

00:22:55What's the idea?

00:22:57I eat little girls like you.

00:22:59I am the world's greatest lover.

00:23:02Sit down while you're all in one piece.

00:23:05Come on, honey.

00:23:06Why, I'll kick that guy to death.

00:23:09Now, listen, Mac.

00:23:11Have all the fun you want, but don't get in a fight.

00:23:13I'm here on business.

00:23:14You mean you're working?

00:23:16Yeah.

00:23:16In here?

00:23:18Surrounded by all this wealth and beauty?

00:23:21Yeah, and if I get what I'm after,

00:23:22it'll be a wire story for every front page in America.

00:23:25I'll be able to go east and get a job on a decent rag.

00:23:27Go east, young man, go east.

00:23:30Get a positive pride.

00:23:32I'll cover the wall, Frank.

00:23:36Oh, honey.

00:23:58Oh, hello, Mother Morgan.

00:24:00Eli here?

00:24:00Why, uh, why no, he ain't.

00:24:04What's his coat doing by the piano?

00:24:06It's all right, I'll wait.

00:24:10Uh-oh.

00:24:11I think I'm going to get that story sooner than I expected.

00:24:14I knew a guy went after a story like that.

00:24:17He's, uh, pushing up daisies now.

00:24:22You'll work on this until I get back.

00:24:23Well, here's two of you.

00:24:36Hello, swimmer.

00:24:37Oh, nosy Joe, the peeping Tom.

00:24:44How are you?

00:24:45Sick of bed.

00:24:46Let's have a drink and I'll tell you all about it.

00:24:49No, dancing's my vice.

00:24:51Your only vice?

00:24:53No.

00:24:55Okay.

00:24:56Let's go.

00:25:04You wouldn't go for a kiss, would you?

00:25:06No.

00:25:07Not very far.

00:25:08What?

00:25:09Well, because...

00:25:10Oh, because I'm the most beautiful girl you ever saw.

00:25:13That's right.

00:25:14What's a nice...

00:25:14Oh, I know that one, too.

00:25:16What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

00:25:19Well, that's all settled.

00:25:20Now, I'll give you my telephone number and then I guess you can kiss me.

00:25:23Thanks.

00:25:24No, I'm very busy right now.

00:25:25Well, are you being kissed on Friday?

00:25:27What day is that?

00:25:28Today.

00:25:29Yes.

00:25:29Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:25:31Oh, dear.

00:25:32Lucy's a great girl.

00:25:35Bottle for Lucy.

00:25:36Champagne.

00:25:37Come on, dear.

00:25:37Let's sit down.

00:25:38Little girl, will you marry me?

00:25:40Later, honey.

00:25:42Eli.

00:25:44I thought I told you not to start a fight.

00:25:46Guess that'll teach another fool with me.

00:25:48One punch McCoy, that's me.

00:25:49Shut up and sit down.

00:25:51Is he all right?

00:25:51Oh, it's one of his busy self.

00:25:53Give me a minute, will you?

00:25:54I was waiting to take him home.

00:25:56Come on, Eli.

00:25:57He owes me eight quarts.

00:25:58He gives me 50 dollars.

00:25:5930 more are coming.

00:26:01Well, they make jokes about scotchmen.

00:26:03Here, hold them.

00:26:11Not a cent.

00:26:13He's been rolled for it.

00:26:15Where's that money?

00:26:23What money?

00:26:25The money that was in here.

00:26:26Look who's trying to be funny.

00:26:29Oh, I know.

00:26:30You've never been so insulted in your life.

00:26:33Come on, hand it over.

00:26:35Listen.

00:26:36Any money I got in my sock, I'm going to keep.

00:26:38What you're looking for is a good slap in the face.

00:26:41Bravo, bravo.

00:26:53Thanks, honey.

00:26:54Get him out of here, will you?

00:26:56He's halfway home right now.

00:27:00Gee, I'm an heiress.

00:27:02Yeah, over 500 berries.

00:27:05Hey, he must have been catching goldfish.

00:27:07Oh, here.

00:27:15Give her this.

00:27:15She's breaking my heart.

00:27:17All this?

00:27:18Yeah, I guess she earned it.

00:27:19And take care of the press, too, will you?

00:27:21All right.

00:27:22You ready?

00:27:23Come on, we're off.

00:27:28Hello, cutie.

00:27:31I eat little girls like you.

00:27:32Oh, do you?

00:27:33Well, that will take months and months and months.

00:27:41Oh, I'm sorry to cause you all this trouble.

00:27:43Oh, no trouble at all with you alone.

00:27:45He'll be in terrible shape to go off on another cruise tomorrow.

00:27:49Going out tomorrow, is he?

00:27:50Yeah.

00:27:51The fish must be running, huh?

00:27:52Yeah, I guess so.

00:27:54You going along?

00:27:55No.

00:27:56When he's fishing, he won't have a woman on board.

00:27:58It says the fish don't bite.

00:28:00Well, you must have a lot of spare time on your hands.

00:28:02Yeah.

00:28:02Well, you mind if I take up most of it from now on?

00:28:07Intentions honorable?

00:28:08No.

00:28:09Oh, that's not very romantic.

00:28:12Well, this isn't a very romantic situation.

00:28:16Sure it is.

00:28:17Marvelous moon, beautiful girl.

00:28:19Taking father home drunk.

00:28:21Oh, get up, you big lunk.

00:28:23Say he and I can get home by ourselves.

00:28:25That's the way you feel about it.

00:28:27I'll be waiting for you.

00:28:28Don't bother.

00:28:29Come on, Eli, get up.

00:28:31Come on, now, you've got to get home.

00:28:32No.

00:28:33Come on.

00:28:36Now, I told you we'd be all right.

00:28:39Come on, Eli, you can make it.

00:28:40Sure he can.

00:28:42With a little help.

00:28:44See?

00:28:45He made it.

00:28:50No.

00:28:52No.

00:28:55No.

00:28:56Oh, wait a minute.

00:28:59Here, come on, let go.

00:29:02Leave me alone, now.

00:29:03I'm all right.

00:29:04No, you're not.

00:29:06Come on, bottoms up.

00:29:07I don't like it.

00:29:09Makes me sick.

00:29:10That's what you're taking it for.

00:29:12Get rid of all that poison in you.

00:29:14If you don't, you'll have a head like a hot stove.

00:29:17Oh.

00:29:19Oh, here's your money.

00:29:22Well, what are you doing with it?

00:29:23Taking better care of it than you did.

00:29:26Now, listen.

00:29:27I don't want you coming down to that place anymore after me.

00:29:31Oh, for Pete's sake.

00:29:32If I didn't go there, I'd be going to the jail for you tomorrow.

00:29:35I guess you're right.

00:29:37I guess I'm lucky to be having you come anywhere after me.

00:29:40All right.

00:29:41Now, don't get feeling sorry for yourself.

00:29:43You're all right.

00:29:44Julie.

00:29:45Julie.

00:29:46God bless you.

00:29:49It sounds kind of funny coming from me.

00:29:52Oui.

00:29:53I must be drunk.

00:29:55境ter.

00:30:02Oh, thank you.

00:30:10I must be drunk.

00:30:10How are you coming?

00:30:28I don't know yet, but I guess it'll be all right.

00:30:40Oh, hello, honey.

00:30:45Well, that's all you were waiting for.

00:30:47Come on, now.

00:30:48Be your aide.

00:30:49I knew the first time I saw you, you were nuts about me.

00:30:52Oh, sure.

00:30:53Men can't resist me, either.

00:30:55You know something?

00:30:57You look pretty good in swimming, but with that coat on, why, you're terrific.

00:31:01You like it?

00:31:02If I liked it much more, I'd start tearing it.

00:31:05New, isn't it?

00:31:06Mm.

00:31:07Chinese?

00:31:08He said it to me this morning.

00:31:09Oh, he did?

00:31:10Come on, sit down and tell me all about it.

00:31:13Well, I get it.

00:31:15You're a ventriloquist.

00:31:16No, I'm just a dummy.

00:31:18Oh, don't you love it here?

00:31:23The waterfront?

00:31:24No.

00:31:25What's that I love about it?

00:31:27Summer nights, mostly.

00:31:30When the sun goes down, supper's over, and all the lights come out on the boat.

00:31:37Sure.

00:31:38Sure.

00:31:39And the summer days when the sun comes up and starts to work on the fish heads lying around.

00:31:44You take a deep breath and it gets you.

00:31:46Fish, tar and bilge oil.

00:31:48The stink of the waterfront.

00:31:50You don't write that way about it.

00:31:53You read my stuff?

00:31:55Yeah.

00:31:56Shake.

00:31:57Shake.

00:31:58A lot of cheap baloney dished up for the farmers who come out here to rot in the sunshine.

00:32:04Bunk.

00:32:05Fakes.

00:32:06Dribbles.

00:32:07Why do you write it then?

00:32:08To eat, darling.

00:32:10Did you ever try writing anything else?

00:32:15I've been trying to finish a novel for five years.

00:32:18I wouldn't be surprised.

00:32:20What do you mean?

00:32:21I'll tell you sometimes.

00:32:22Always.

00:32:23Don't let's get serious on a night like this.

00:32:24All right.

00:32:25Let's get silly.

00:32:26How about a kiss?

00:32:27No.

00:32:28Ah, but we're all alone with the stars and the sea.

00:32:30Come on, let's play a love scene.

00:32:31Let's fall in love first.

00:32:33throw your food, let's get silly.

00:32:35How about a kiss?

00:32:36No.

00:32:38Ah, but we're, we're all alone with the stars and the sea.

00:32:40Come on.

00:32:41Let's play a love scene.

00:32:43Let's fall in love first.

00:32:51Yeah?

00:32:52Oh, thanks.

00:33:31Uh, take a flyer on Mrs. Goosen's.

00:33:34Oh, spell it yourself, will you?

00:33:36Became a mother at 8.15 p.m. in a water taxi.

00:33:38Baby or lived, case of fright.

00:33:40Navy responsible.

00:33:4116-inch guns doing night practice.

00:33:44Yeah?

00:33:45Yeah, says she's going to sue the government.

00:33:48Oh, uh...

00:33:49Oh, yeah, I met the Empress of Britain coming in this morning.

00:33:51World cruise.

00:33:52A Mitsy Vajor aboard from Bulgaria.

00:33:54Wearing pants, going to Hollywood.

00:33:56Met by three other tough foreign blondes, also wearing pants.

00:33:59And they're still kissing each other.

00:34:01Oh, a lot of notables aboard.

00:34:03All fat heads.

00:34:04Had the usual thing to say.

00:34:05Blah, blah, blah.

00:34:06What a beautiful hobby you've got.

00:34:07Good times are just around the corner.

00:34:08Blah, blah, blah.

00:34:09Write it yourself, will you?

00:34:10That Miller you're talking to?

00:34:11Yeah.

00:34:13Give me that.

00:34:16Hey, Miller.

00:34:18That Watt Floris is here for $9 more for roses.

00:34:21And the bootlegger wants $20 for a case of gin.

00:34:24What are you trying to do?

00:34:25Marry the girl?

00:34:26Well, if you don't like the way I make love, you get the story.

00:34:29But you're not getting the story.

00:34:31You haven't got any dope in three days.

00:34:33Yeah, but she's smart.

00:34:34Which is more than you are.

00:34:40Pinhead.

00:34:41You thinking of me?

00:34:42Yeah, come on.

00:34:43Let's get out of here.

00:34:44Hey, this novel's getting better.

00:34:46That new love scene is good.

00:34:48You believe those two are falling in love.

00:34:51You never could before.

00:34:52You must be falling in love.

00:34:56Who, me?

00:34:57With that waterfront girl you're working on.

00:34:58Her?

00:35:00I'm only playing her to hook a fisherman.

00:35:02And I'll do it if Phelps will let me alone.

00:35:05Hey, can you imagine him kicking about that case of gin I had sent over your place?

00:35:08He's kicking.

00:35:09If there's any kicking about that lousy gin, I'll do it.

00:35:11I get the headaches.

00:35:12Finest example of the old prison hoax now in existence.

00:35:28And more poor souls have died in torture below those bloodstained decks than I should care to tell you.

00:35:35Visit the torture chamber.

00:35:37Fifty cents, please.

00:35:39Fifty cents?

00:35:40I'm Miller from the Standard.

00:35:41I've got to write my usual column about this old bathtub for the annual Boost Southern California Blah and Tripe number.

00:35:47Oh, yes, Mr. Miller.

00:35:49Charmed to have you with us.

00:35:51And the little lady, too.

00:35:52Take one of our little booklets.

00:35:54Take one of your little booklets yourself and stick it in your back pocket.

00:35:57I know more about this boat than you do.

00:36:05You wouldn't go for that kiss now, would you?

00:36:07Say, I thought you came down here to work.

00:36:09Well, if you don't think it's work getting a kiss out of you, you're nuts.

00:36:11I've been trying for three days.

00:36:13Oh, get out.

00:36:14Come on, now do yourself.

00:36:16What's this?

00:36:18Oh, oh, that's a birdcage.

00:36:20Oh.

00:36:20Well, what's that?

00:36:23Uh, well, that's a dandruff remover.

00:36:29Ah, but here's the honey.

00:36:30Come here.

00:36:31Huh?

00:36:31Oh.

00:36:32Now, they used to hang guys up here by their wrists.

00:36:35Uh, this little contraption is adjustable.

00:36:36They'd raise and lower it.

00:36:38Uh, it always fits you.

00:36:39Of course, they'd raise you high, so you'd have to stand on your tiptoes.

00:36:43And then when you're on your toes, why, they'd pour hot lead on your feet.

00:36:46Oh.

00:36:47Come here, I'll show you.

00:36:49They put you there and clamped this around your waist like this and locked it.

00:36:53Then one hand went in here, like this.

00:36:57And the other.

00:36:59Hey, wait a minute.

00:37:01Is there.

00:37:02And locked that one.

00:37:04And of course, it wouldn't leave your neck bare.

00:37:07They always took this strap and tight it.

00:37:09Ow!

00:37:10Good and tight around there.

00:37:13And now, you little son of a...

00:37:16You're gonna get kissed.

00:37:21How did you like it?

00:37:23That was torture.

00:37:24Not for me.

00:37:27Oh, yeah, I forgot.

00:37:30You wanted to see a newspaper man who worked in there.

00:37:33Now, let me see.

00:37:38Uh...

00:37:39Iraq, uh...

00:37:4116th century.

00:37:48Spanish.

00:37:53Oh, yeah, this was a manicure parlor.

00:37:57Now, uh, with these things, they'd take and, uh, pull your fingernails out.

00:38:04And no tip to the courtroom, girl.

00:38:0914th century.

00:38:11Spanish.

00:38:13Yeah, thanks.

00:38:15Enough torture?

00:38:16I can take it.

00:38:17I can take it.

00:38:18I can take it.

00:38:29Not Spanish.

00:38:38All fast.

00:38:39All fast.

00:38:40Give it to him.

00:38:41Give it to him.

00:38:42Easy now, easy.

00:38:44Easy now, easy.

00:38:55That's what we want.

00:38:56Sharks big enough to swallow a man.

00:38:58Hey, Capitan, why, why you fish for shark when tuna is running?

00:39:02Why, why you fish for shark when tuna is running?

00:39:05There's no money in shark.

00:39:08The race for us.

00:39:17Oh, yeah?

00:39:18Huh?

00:39:19Huh?

00:39:25Okay.

00:39:31We want more like that.

00:39:32Big ones.

00:39:33Go all off, Tartigues.

00:39:34Ah, I see it, Capitan.

00:39:43Shark!

00:39:44Off the fort, bow!

00:39:46Big one!

00:39:48I'll say it's a big one.

00:39:50Slow it down.

00:40:00Cast off!

00:40:10Straighten your harpoon lines.

00:40:11We don't want to miss this one.

00:40:19He's a big bruiser.

00:40:20Easy, Capitan.

00:40:21Easy, Capitan.

00:40:22Easy.

00:40:23Huh?

00:40:28Give it to him.

00:40:30Head past your line!

00:40:31Snub him in!

00:40:32He's double back!

00:40:33On the boat!

00:40:34Hit!

00:40:35Give me that gun, quick!

00:40:39Give me that gun, quick!

00:40:40The line!

00:40:41The line!

00:40:42The line!

00:40:43The line!

00:40:44The line!

00:40:45Quick!

00:40:46He's downed!

00:40:47The line!

00:40:48The line!

00:40:49The line!

00:40:50Quick!

00:40:52He's downed!

00:40:53Look out!

00:40:54He's hidden for the bomb!

00:40:56The line! The line! The line! Quick!

00:41:05He's downed! Look out! He's hidden from the bottom!

00:41:13Oh, they're both corners. That big devil's right on top of them.

00:41:18Look out behind you!

00:41:26He's got him! Pull in close. We might save the skipper.

00:41:39Take it easy, boy!

00:41:42Oh, the leg! The leg is gone!

00:41:47Grab it! Quick, skipper!

00:41:51Easy now! Easy! Easy!

00:41:53We've got to stop the bleeding!

00:42:02You're going to be all right now. Take it easy.

00:42:04I want to pray. I want to pray.

00:42:08Cross, Captain. Cross, Captain.

00:42:12You got a cross?

00:42:14Oh, something to pray to.

00:42:17Oh, my saint. My saint.

00:42:21Picture.

00:42:23Give me picture.

00:42:25Picture.

00:42:31Candles.

00:42:33Nice candles.

00:42:34Mr.

00:42:35Hmm.

00:42:36You can't.

00:42:37Oh, my god.

00:42:39Oh, my god.

00:42:47Yes.

00:42:48Yes, Tim.

00:42:51Which record me?

00:42:52According to me.

00:43:15Don't you men know enough to dig off your hats?

00:43:22Oh.

00:43:34Perfect, isn't it?

00:43:36From where I sit.

00:43:39Wouldn't it be marvelous if we could go on like this?

00:43:42We can.

00:43:43No, we can't.

00:43:47I gotta break a promise to Eli to tell you something.

00:43:53I think a lot of you, Jill.

00:43:56So much, I couldn't go without telling you.

00:44:00Break a promise.

00:44:03Go where?

00:44:05South America, South Sea, I don't know.

00:44:08He asked me not to tell anybody.

00:44:12But we're moving on.

00:44:14But when? Why?

00:44:17Tomorrow, maybe. I don't know why.

00:44:21You don't?

00:44:26Maybe it's better.

00:44:29I feel we've had a whole lifetime of happiness these last two weeks.

00:44:34And none of the grief.

00:44:36Let's leave it at that.

00:44:38Do you really mean that, Julie?

00:44:40I don't know.

00:44:44I don't know.

00:44:48No, Dylan.

00:44:51Afraid?

00:44:54Yeah.

00:44:56Yeah.

00:44:58I'm afraid of tomorrow.

00:45:01Without you.

00:45:03Why worry about tomorrow?

00:45:10Oh, why should I think about tomorrow?

00:45:11I don't know.

00:45:12But tomorrow...

00:45:41I'll always remember this place.

00:45:42Yeah.

00:45:43And I'll always remember this place.

00:45:45Yeah.

00:46:07I'll always remember this place.

00:46:09Yeah.

00:46:10And I'll always remember this coffee.

00:46:12Of course, it puts down a little cleaning.

00:46:15I'll get busy on that today and fix it up.

00:46:18Oh, it isn't worth bothering with.

00:46:20Want some jam?

00:46:21Yeah, give me the works.

00:46:26Wait till I get through with it. It'll be swell here.

00:46:29Especially when it rains.

00:46:31Rains?

00:46:33Yeah.

00:46:34You know, with the fireplace going and rain on the roof.

00:46:38Oh, there isn't any fireplace.

00:46:41Well, we'll get one.

00:46:43Where would the cat sit?

00:46:45What cat?

00:46:46The one we're going to get.

00:46:48Oh, there isn't any use putting any money in the cat.

00:46:50Only have to give it away.

00:46:51I won't be here much longer.

00:46:54You won't?

00:47:00I mean, you're going to some other fishing town and I'm going east.

00:47:07Have you ever been in Vermont?

00:47:10No.

00:47:11The whole place isn't sand and ocean, but earth.

00:47:15Things grow.

00:47:17The seasons change once in a while.

00:47:19Things smell better.

00:47:22Around here, everything smells of dead sardines.

00:47:25This godforsaken seaport.

00:47:30A lot of people like you in every port.

00:47:32Like me?

00:47:33Yeah.

00:47:34Always kicking about what they're doing.

00:47:37Where they live.

00:47:38Why they're not getting any place.

00:47:41They're always going away on ships looking for something.

00:47:45Everything you want is right here.

00:47:48Even that book you're writing.

00:47:51Only you can't see it.

00:47:53You've been living here six years.

00:47:56I'll bet you, you haven't looked out of those windows once.

00:48:02Well, you couldn't, but they haven't been washed in six years.

00:48:06Come here.

00:48:22You can have Vermont.

00:48:23Not bad.

00:48:27Not bad at all.

00:48:29Men never know what the sea really looks like.

00:48:33Women do.

00:48:35And they've looked out there for years waiting for somebody to come back.

00:48:39Joe.

00:48:44I'm not going away.

00:48:46You're not?

00:48:47I thought you said you were going with your father.

00:48:49I've changed my mind.

00:48:51I'm going to tell him as soon as he gets in.

00:48:56When does he land?

00:48:57Tonight.

00:48:59Where will he dock?

00:49:00Down at the Chinese settlement.

00:49:02Why the Chinese settlement?

00:49:04There's no tuna cannery there.

00:49:06Oh, he's not fishing tuna.

00:49:07He went south for sharks.

00:49:09South?

00:49:11Well, how will he feel when he knows you're not going with him tomorrow?

00:49:15You kick up a row, I guess.

00:49:16But I can handle him.

00:49:20Joe.

00:49:22Don't you understand?

00:49:24None of us are going away.

00:49:27Maybe you're right.

00:49:33Not making much headway, Skipper.

00:49:34Keep up pounding.

00:49:35I want to get in before sundown.

00:49:38Aye, aye, Skipper.

00:49:44Listen, fat head.

00:49:46We've already given the Coast Guard one bum steer on Kirk,

00:49:49and I refuse to let myself in for another razzing.

00:49:52Now, if you haven't got the real dope, I won't call him.

00:49:55Listen yourself, thick head.

00:49:56If this isn't real dope, then what is it?

00:49:59First, when everybody's getting good prices for tuna,

00:50:02Kirk goes south and fishes shark.

00:50:04Second, he's pulling out of here tomorrow morning.

00:50:07Third, he's docking at the Chinese settlement tonight.

00:50:10Now, don't two and two make four.

00:50:12Yes, but that makes six.

00:50:14What have the sharks got to do with it?

00:50:16What am I supposed to be, a fortune teller?

00:50:17Maybe it's an excuse for him to go down below the border.

00:50:20But it's a natural.

00:50:21He's pulling out of here tomorrow morning,

00:50:23and he's bound to try one last haul.

00:50:25Kirk's no fool.

00:50:26The minute he sees the Coast Guard,

00:50:27if he's got anything, he'll dump it overboard.

00:50:29He did it the last time.

00:50:31And I thought it took brains to be an editor.

00:50:34I'll draw your picture.

00:50:36We all stay undercover until Kirk ties up at the dock.

00:50:39Then we pounce on him and catch him with his pants down.

00:50:42And you find a chairman in his pants.

00:50:44All right, I'll go for it.

00:50:45But either you bring me back the story or a piece of rope.

00:50:48Rope?

00:50:49Yeah, so I can tie a can to you.

00:50:50Give me the Coast Guard.

00:50:54Let it go!

00:50:57Let it go!

00:51:12Take it up slow.

00:51:14Don't bump nothing, and don't let him use any hoops.

00:51:17I don't want this fish to be spilling its guts.

00:51:19Go ahead.

00:51:20Take it away!

00:51:21Wait a minute, Kirk.

00:51:23Hold everything, will we tell you.

00:51:24Hold it?

00:51:25Don't you fellas never get tired of looking me over, huh?

00:51:28Orders, Kirk.

00:51:30Don't miss anything, boys.

00:51:31Well, if you feel like wasting your time, it's all right with me.

00:51:50Miller to the standard.

00:51:51Hello, Miller.

00:51:55Hello, Kirk.

00:51:56Good catch tonight?

00:51:57What are you doing on my boat?

00:52:00Looking for that big story I promised you.

00:52:03Nobody comes on my boat while I'm unloading except in the crew.

00:52:07It's what comes off your boat that interests me.

00:52:09You better get out of here or I'll break your back.

00:52:13From now on, the only thing you'll break will be rock.

00:52:16For 20 years.

00:52:17That's what they give them for smuggling.

00:52:20Isn't it, Kirk?

00:52:21You get out of here.

00:52:22Do you hear me?

00:52:23Don't get tough.

00:52:24Remember me?

00:52:25One quench McCoy.

00:52:26No.

00:52:27Hey, wait a minute, Kirk.

00:52:32Ah, Christmas has come.

00:52:39Put that in your pocket.

00:52:40The same to you and many of them.

00:52:52Kirk.

00:52:54Did you ever read the Bible?

00:52:56What?

00:52:58Someone must have told you the story of Jonah and the whale.

00:53:03What do you mean?

00:53:06Just what I said.

00:53:08Huh?

00:53:09Find anything?

00:53:10Not this time.

00:53:11You can go ahead, Kirk.

00:53:12Pick it up, Jake.

00:53:13Hey, wait a minute.

00:53:15You didn't find anything?

00:53:16No.

00:53:17Just another bum steer, Miller.

00:53:18Don't you ever get anything right?

00:53:20Oh, all this fuss was his idea, huh?

00:53:24Yeah, why I...

00:53:26Hey, hold that shot!

00:53:27Hey!

00:53:28Don't be giving orders on my boat.

00:53:37Hey!

00:53:38Hold it!

00:53:39Hold it!

00:53:40Hold it!

00:53:48So I never get anything right, huh?

00:53:49There's nothing on that boat.

00:53:50Not right now there isn't.

00:53:51But he brought one in and he landed him.

00:53:53Well then, where is it?

00:53:54I'm sick and tired of you loud-mouthed, half-baked newspaper reporters.

00:53:57Half-baked, am I?

00:53:59Has anybody got a knife?

00:54:00Yeah, here's one.

00:54:02Thanks.

00:54:03You might as well admit you muffed this one.

00:54:05Yeah?

00:54:06Well, here's one nobody can muff.

00:54:10Hey!

00:54:11Get away from that shot!

00:54:22Wait a minute, Kirk.

00:54:23You're under arrest.

00:54:31Drop that knife.

00:54:33Hey!

00:54:34Hey!

00:54:48Hey, you're here.

00:54:49We're talking about the Chinese Smugglers.

00:54:50Chinese Smugglers, captured.

00:54:51Latest edition.

00:54:52Failors!

00:55:03Hello.

00:55:17Great story, Joe. Extra out ten minutes to go.

00:55:22It's the best story that's come out of this town in years.

00:55:24It'll hit the front page of every paper in the country.

00:55:27I'm raising you five a week with a 50-buck bonus.

00:55:31Thanks, boss.

00:55:32If you find Kirk, I'll make it a hundred.

00:55:35He's hit pretty hard. He can't be far away.

00:55:38Get down to the waterfront. Find him.

00:55:40If you need any help, call on me.

00:55:43I got this much of the story without help from cops or anybody, including you.

00:55:47And I'll do it alone.

00:55:49I'll get the rest of the story.

00:55:50I don't want you lousy rays. I don't want any part of you.

00:55:53I'll get the story and get out.

00:55:54And I hope I never see you or your paper in this stinking waterfront again.

00:55:57That's it, Stumpjoe. Now you are fired.

00:56:00Hey, how much rent do you pay for this place?

00:56:05Oh, get out, will you?

00:56:06No, I'm just getting in.

00:56:09You're getting out.

00:56:10But before you go, speak to Phelps about me for your job.

00:56:13Oh, you can have it.

00:56:14You can have this place.

00:56:15You can have anything connected with the waterfront I've got.

00:56:17You mean you're really going?

00:56:23Yeah, going just as far as I possibly can and try to forget what a mess I've made of things.

00:56:28Particularly myself.

00:56:30Well, in that case, I'll give you this.

00:56:33I opened it.

00:56:35What does it say?

00:56:36It's from Prattle for a month.

00:56:38Now, Joe, dear, since you are the dearest friend I have...

00:56:44Stop.

00:56:45I want you to be the first to know I am engaged to Walter Morgan.

00:56:50Stop.

00:56:51I'm affectionately fearful.

00:57:00It's a tough break, kid.

00:57:02I'm sorry.

00:57:03Oh, you don't have to be.

00:57:04I wasn't in love with her.

00:57:06No?

00:57:06No, just one of those things.

00:57:19That was a great story.

00:57:21Yeah, tough break on Julie.

00:57:24She believed in me.

00:57:26Listen.

00:57:27Call Phelps and tell him you're sick.

00:57:29I'll finish the story.

00:57:30No, I can't stop now.

00:57:31Mac, you ought to know that.

00:57:33A great story.

00:57:34I wish I'd done it.

00:57:37I wish you had.

00:57:38I wish anybody in the world had done it but me.

00:57:56Well, meow yourself.

00:57:58Well, come on.

00:58:00Oh, come on.

00:58:03Hello there.

00:58:05Hello there.

00:58:08Say, I got a job for you.

00:58:10Yeah.

00:58:12How would you like to sit beside a fireplace, huh?

00:58:15Oh, just the warmest, coziest fireplace you ever saw.

00:58:21Now, isn't that good?

00:58:22It's good.

00:58:22What do you want?

00:58:23You come.

00:58:24Your father hurt bad.

00:58:26You think you're a doctor?

00:58:27Doctor?

00:58:28What's happened to him?

00:58:30What happened to him?

00:58:32I brought you the doctor, really, I.

00:58:53How does it look, Doc?

00:58:56I shall have to remove the bullet.

00:58:58Have you got the tools?

00:59:00Yes.

00:59:01But I have no anesthetic.

00:59:03I have plenty of that.

00:59:05Go and get started.

00:59:06Let's have done with it.

00:59:08Make me light for me.

00:59:09How did it happen?

00:59:27That black-legged reporter put the police on to me and they caught me with the goods.

00:59:34What reporter?

00:59:36Miller.

00:59:39Miller.

00:59:40Yes, Miller.

00:59:43Somebody tipped him off where I was going to land the stuff tonight.

00:59:53Somebody did.

00:59:56I'm going to get across the border.

00:59:59Get me a motorboat.

01:00:01Yeah.

01:00:02Don't you worry.

01:00:02I'll take care of all that.

01:00:05We've both got to get out of here.

01:00:07You can't go with me, Julie.

01:00:09Oh, I've got to, Eli.

01:00:10I can't stay here.

01:00:12Why?

01:00:13Why?

01:00:13I trusted somebody.

01:00:16I thought I was in love.

01:00:19Love?

01:00:20Yeah.

01:00:21I made a mistake.

01:00:23Who is he?

01:00:24Oh, nobody.

01:00:25Nobody that matters.

01:00:28You've always told me everything.

01:00:31Honey, that's one thing I can't ever tell you.

01:00:33The light, a little closer.

01:00:36This may hurt.

01:00:37Are you hot still?

01:00:40Hold it.

01:00:41Hold it.

01:00:47There.

01:00:53It looks kind of like a cross, don't it?

01:00:56Give it to me.

01:00:59Might come in handy later on.

01:01:02Oh, no.

01:01:05He's going to be all right, isn't he, doctor?

01:01:07Chances are not good.

01:01:08We're going in boat.

01:01:10If I can get up that ladder, I'm going tonight.

01:01:16It must go very easy.

01:01:18If you have hemorrhage, you die.

01:01:19No, no, no, you won't.

01:01:21You won't, Eli.

01:01:22You just lie quiet.

01:01:23We'll get away all right.

01:01:25You get that boat ready.

01:01:26Yeah.

01:01:27To get in provisions enough for four days.

01:01:29You be quiet now, and don't worry.

01:01:31Julie, I...

01:01:57What do you want?

01:01:58I want to tell you something.

01:01:59Don't tell me nothing.

01:02:01You told me.

01:02:03You don't like the waterfront.

01:02:05Things don't grow here.

01:02:07No, not like you, they don't.

01:02:09Maybe not, but I'm sorry I had to drag you in.

01:02:12Me?

01:02:13Never mind about me.

01:02:14It's him.

01:02:14No, it isn't.

01:02:15That's my job, and he had it coming to him.

01:02:16It's you.

01:02:17I loved you.

01:02:18I didn't know it, but I know it now.

01:02:20You loved me.

01:02:21You just went after me to get my father.

01:02:26That's why you're here now.

01:02:28You think I know where he is, and you think they'll find him.

01:02:30They will.

01:02:31But I came here to get one thing clear in your head.

01:02:34Last night was on the level.

01:02:36I loved you, and I'll always love you.

01:02:38Don't talk about love.

01:02:41You've been digging around the muck of the waterfront so long,

01:02:43nothing means anything to you but your dirty job.

01:02:46You think you're going to find Eli?

01:02:48Well, try it.

01:02:49If you do, they'll find you dead in the harbor.

01:02:52Yeah, and that'll be okay with me, too.

01:02:56Now get out of here.

01:03:10I guess you lost your job.

01:03:16I guess you lost your job.

01:03:46I guess you lost your job.

01:04:16How does that feel?

01:04:33Kind of hot.

01:04:36You don't shoot as straight as you spit.

01:04:39Straight enough.

01:04:40You'll never write no more stories about me.

01:04:46Oh, yes, I will.

01:04:48I'll still write your obituary.

01:04:52No, you won't.

01:04:55I'll be over the border by sunrise.

01:04:58Yeah, but not the Mexican border.

01:05:09You're a pretty game, ain't you?

01:05:12You just won't quit, will you?

01:05:14Not till I'm through.

01:05:18Come on, Eli.

01:05:26I've got the boat.

01:05:29Eli.

01:05:31Eli, are you all right?

01:05:33Sure.

01:05:34What's the matter with him?

01:05:39Oh, I shot him.

01:05:41You shot him?

01:05:42He had it coming to him.

01:05:47He's right, Julie.

01:05:50I gave you a pretty raw deal.

01:05:52Is he the man?

01:06:00Yes.

01:06:11No.

01:06:12No, Eli.

01:06:13You can't do that.

01:06:14What's the use?

01:06:16Come on.

01:06:18Come on.

01:06:18We've got to get away.

01:06:19You'll never make it, Kirk.

01:06:34You can't even get up those...

01:06:37stairs.

01:06:43We can't leave him, Eli.

01:06:49If nobody came, he might die here.

01:07:00I can't leave him.

01:07:16Where are we going?

01:07:17None of your business.

01:07:19Come on.

01:07:31Eli, you got twisted in the fog.

01:07:33We're back home.

01:07:35Take her outside.

01:07:36You made a mistake.

01:07:37No mistake.

01:07:38Not this time.

01:07:40Get a doctor to get that bullet out of the kid there.

01:07:44You did it on purpose.

01:07:45If you love him, he's worth it.

01:07:49It's more than I ever was.

01:07:51Eli.
