The key to taking over Jack Dragna's
Southern California rackets -
:06:13
- is to come in smooth. Approach
him like we want to be a partner.
:06:18
The guy's been running the rackets
for 20 years with no competition.
:06:23
- Except for Mickey Cohen.
- So we move in amiably.
:06:29
- What about the bars and clubs?
- Fifty-fifty.
:06:33
We move in,
but we don't ruin anything.
:06:37
- Joey A. Knows Jack Dragna.
- Jack's a cold-blooded killer.
:06:43
You've got to be careful. Don't say
nothing he'd take offence at.
:06:48
- What are you smiling at?
- Nothing.
:06:53
- Why can't we go to California?
- Maybe next time.
:07:01
When you get to Los Angeles,
don't call George.
:07:05
He's a movie star now, and attracts
more attention than Roosevelt.
:07:10
- This has to be quick and quiet.
- And amiable.
:07:14
Very funny. 12 days.
:07:17
Four days out. Four days
of diplomacy. Four days back.
:07:26
- Ben, could I talk to you a minute?
- After I say goodbye to the family.
:07:37
I'll miss you.
:07:39
When I get you on the phone,
tell me what presents you want.
:07:44
- I already know what I want.
- Don't tell me now. Think about it.
:07:50
- I need money, Ben. $50,000.
- For what?
:07:56
The cops, the D.A., the FBI.
They're threatening to lock me up.
