:23:00
No. Why not? Give him a hand, Junior.
:23:03
Hold it, Junior.
:23:06
They say you're a smart operator.
:23:08
Gotta give you credit. You won the first
round. This is round two comin' up now.
:23:13
- How does it look?
- Great.
:23:16
Nice colour, huh?
:23:19
Round two.
:23:20
I got maybe eight, ten
top candidates for this job.
:23:23
All smart, tough, hard-headed guys,
and I can take my pick of any one of 'em.
:23:28
Now suppose you tell me,
in ten words or less, like a telegram,
:23:33
why should Steve Darcey give
the New York territory to Dave the Dude?
:23:39
Go ahead, talk.
:23:41
- That's a good question. Right, Joy Boy?
- Beautiful.
:23:44
- Got an answer?
- No.
:23:45
- Got a question?
- Yeah.
:23:46
Ask it - in ten words, like a telegram.
:23:49
Why should Dave the Dude
give New York territory to Darcey?
:23:55
That's eleven, but...
:23:57
- Are you his mouthpiece?
- Call me his doormat.
:24:00
Why don't you lay down and act like one?
:24:02
Darcey, Joy Boy happens to be my friend,
:24:04
and all my friends are nine feet tall
and make very bad doormats.
:24:08
You bootleggers, you were nine feet tall.
:24:11
All big fish in a little pond, but all of
a sudden all the little ponds are dryin' up.
:24:16
That's where the king comes in.
I'm makin' me a national syndicate.
:24:20
I'm gonna push some of you
gaspin' sharks back in the water.
:24:24
But it's gonna be my water.
It'll cover the whole country.
:24:28
- Deep water.
- Deep, huh?
:24:30
How deep? Dames? Dope?
That's a little over my head.
:24:33
Come on. That's bush league.
:24:36
We're gonna operate
from presidential suites.
:24:39
We're gonna elect judges,
contribute to charities, finance operas.
:24:43
We're gonna be in
the big, profitable business
:24:47
of catering for all human weaknesses.
:24:53
- What would be my cut?
- Your cut? The New York territory?
:24:58
Right down the middle.
If you're the right guy.
