: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.
:25:01
He's the only guy.
:25:03
There's one more little detail. We request
the franchise holders to put up $50,000.
:25:11
In small bills.
:25:14
As a token of their good faith.
:25:17
- Who's driving?
- Herman.
:25:20
- Herman?
- Yeah.
:25:22
Take Mr Darcey anywhere he wants to go
while he's in town. He's my guest.
:25:26
- Drop me off at the nearest goods stop.
- OK, boss.
:25:30
Wait a minute. You're not interested?
:25:33
No, not right now.
:25:35
Because, you see, this is one fish
that isn't jumping into anybody's pond
:25:39
unless I'm paid $100,000 in cash
as a token of your good faith.
:25:46
You want the syndicate to pay you?
:25:48
I'm the lucky one, remember?
:25:51
All right, boys, let's go. We got
some ponds that need watering real bad.
:25:56
Oh, if you get an itch for any of those
human weaknesses yourself, just holler.
