There are a few Emmet Ray
stories before that...

:03:03
but I have no idea whether
they're true or not.

:03:06
First time anybody seemed
to have heard of him was in Chicago.

:03:09
It was at this roadside joint.
:03:15
Good to see you tonight.
:03:20
- Where the hell is he?
- I don't know.

:03:22
You gotta get him, Dan.
He's layin' drunk somewhere.

:03:24
- He's probably in a poolroom.
- Every night it's somethin' else.

:03:27
He's late. He gets drunk.
He falls off the bandstand.

:03:30
- I told you not to hire this guy.
- What time does Emmet Ray go on?

:03:34
Look at the crowd.
Think they're here to see me?

:03:36
Relax. I'll find him.
:03:38
I'm gonna have to
hold the show again.

:03:40
I'll kill this guy.
I don't care what kind of artist he is.

:03:43
You take care of business.
I'll find him. Just relax.

:03:47
Hey, good to see you again.
:03:52
That's 50 more you owe me.
:03:54
I'm not goin' out of town.
Another one?

:04:00
I think you got some visitors.
:04:04
I'll be back.
:04:09
- What'd we get?
- Here's your end.

:04:17
This is what you bring me, $30?
It's almost midnight. $30?

:04:20
That's half, Emmet.
That's all we made.

:04:22
I can't live on that.
I got car payments, I got new shirts.

:04:25
I'm sorry. Business was slow.
It's a Jewish holiday.

:04:28
And last night it was rainin', and
the night before you got food poisonin'.

:04:32
- Because I drank that booze you made.
- Listen, Emmet.

:04:35
I don't know how to tell you this,
but while I was in bed...

:04:38
with one of the johns you sent me,
he got very excited, and he...

:04:44
got a heart attack,
and he dropped dead.

:04:48
- Which one?
- The salesman from Detroit.

:04:51
- What did you do?
- I took my clothes and I left.

:04:55
So there's nothin'
to trace back to us?

:04:57
Then I was thinking that maybe
he had one of your business cards.
