- Hello, Mike.
- Hi, Eddie.
:44:18
How do you like my new boy? Kid Nino.
Doesn't he move pretty?
:44:22
Sure - just like all your fighters, Eddie.
:44:25
All right, Kid, shadow-box around.
l'm showing you off to a friend.
:44:30
lsn't he beautiful? lsn't he lovely?
Look at the way he moves.
:44:34
Sure, he's great.
But when he fights his big fight
:44:36
he won't be able to punch
his way out of a paper bag.
:44:39
- Why not, Mike?
- You'll sell him out, like all the others.
:44:42
Not this one, Mike.
:44:44
Wait until the odds build up,
until you can't resist.
:44:48
No, Mike.
:44:50
- When does he go?
- Tomorrow night. Main bout.
:44:53
He's a winner, so it'll be short money.
Bet all you can. Bet your shirt.
:44:57
lt'd pay more if he lost. You sure
he isn't gonna lay down and die?
:45:00
On my word, Mike.
:45:02
Now that's the kind of a bet l like.
Thanks a lot.
:45:06
What l really came over for
was to find out what you know
:45:09
about a kid that used to fight
under the name of Lee Kawolsky.
:45:14
- What about him?
- Come on, don't give me that.
:45:18
- You know just about everybody.
- About him l don't know.
:45:22
He was killed in an accident,
but it wasn't really an accident.
:45:28
Two fellas, they came in here.
Charlie Max and Sugar Smallhouse.
:45:33
They asked, if anybody asked questions
about Lee Kawolsky, what do l know?
:45:39
l looked at their faces.
You know what l said?
:45:42
l said ''l don't know anything.''
:45:45
They said to keep that in mind
and they'd make it worth my while.
:45:50
You'd sell the gold
out of your mother's teeth.
:45:53
- How much did they give you? l'll top it.
- You can't top this.
:45:57
They said they'd let me breathe.
