Rocky Sullivan: Whadda ya hear! Whadda ya say! Always remember: Don't be a sucker. Rocky Sullivan: Suppose the dough is hot? Nobody knows that but you and me. Father Jerry: That's just it. Rocky Sullivan: Oh, come on, don't be such an angel. You wanna get the center built, don't you? Well, go ahead - get it started. Father Jerry: Sure I wanna get it started; but I don't wanna get it started on rotten foundations. Rocky Sullivan: Aw, don't be a sucker! Father Jerry: All right, Rocky, supposin' I take the money... and I kid myself that it's a means to an end - well it isn't. It never will be. Inside the center my boys would be clean... and outside they'd be surrounded by the same rotten corruption and crime and criminals. Yes, yourself included. Criminals on all sides for my boys to look up to and revere... and respect and admire and imitate. What earthly good is it for me to teach that honesty is the best policy when all around they see that dishonesty is a better policy? That the hoodlum and the gangster is looked up to with the same respect as the successful businessman or the popular hero? You and the Fraziers and the Keefers and all the rest of those rotten politicians you've got in the palm of your hand. Yes, and you've got my boys, too. Whatever I teach them, you... you show me up. You show them the easiest way - the quickest way is with a racket or a gun. Rocky Sullivan: Well, it's so, ain't it? Father Jerry: Yes, it's so... God help us. Jerry, As a Boy: Bulls eye! William 'Rocky' Sullivan, as a boy: It's as dead as a door nail around here. Jerry, As a Boy: Yeah. [to Rocky] Come on, Rocky. Jump! Hi Jerry. Jerry, As a Boy: Hello. William 'Rocky' Sullivan, as a boy: Whadda ya hear! Whadda ya say! Listen, Rocky. I'm pulling every string I can. I'm seeing the all right people. And I think I can get you off with about three years. Rocky Sullivan: You talk like I can do that three years in a handstand. It's a long time. That ain't no picnic. You'll be outside having it soft right on those cushions. James Frazier: I know it's a tough break, Rocky. But I'm not gonna mark time. I'm gonna scout around, make connections. Not only for me, but for both of us. You understand? Rocky Sullivan: Why should I take the fall? James Frazier: There's no other way out. Now, be sensible. If they get me too, I'll not only be disbarred, but they'll check on my vault box and grab that hundred grand. You don't want to lose that dough, do you? Rocky Sullivan: Alright, Frazier. It's my rap and I'll take it. But it's my hundred grand and I'll take that too, the day that I get out. What's on your mind, Son? Rocky Sullivan: Not very much, Father. It's just been bothering me about fifteen years. What did you do with those fountain pens you stole out of the freight cart? Father Jerry: [recognizing him] Rocky! You old... Rocky Sullivan: Jerry, glad to see you. Whadda ya hear! Whadda ya say! Father Jerry: Whadda ya hear! Whadda ya say! I'm glad to see you. Rocky Sullivan: Good to see you. Fifteen years. Hasn't changed a bit. I'll take the room. What's the tariff? Laury Ferguson: Five dollars a week. Rocky Sullivan: Sold. Laury Ferguson: In advance. Rocky Sullivan: Oh. Alright. Write me a receipt. Laury Ferguson: You can trust me. Laury Martin? That little fresh kid with the pigtails? Well, hello. Whadda ya hear! Whadda ya say! Laury Ferguson: Hello. [slaps him] Rocky Sullivan: Hey! Wait a minute! Laury Ferguson: I've waited fifteen years to do that! Well, well, Rocky! Say, this is a surprise! Rocky Sullivan: Whadda ya hear! Whadda ya say! [to Soapy and the gang] Say your prayers, mugs. Who's the leader? Soapy: I am. Rocky Sullivan: Come here. Collect that dough, and fast! [to Soapy] Next time you roll a guy for his poke, make sure he don't know your hideout. Well, as long as you're sponsoring the gym, let's go and take a look at it. Rocky Sullivan: You mean now? Father Jerry: Sure. Come on, Rocky. I want to show you what I'm doing. You remember old Krausmeyer's store, don't you? Rocky Sullivan: Yeah, sure. We used to rob it. Father Jerry: Yes. Personal foul. Free throw over here. Bim: I didn't do nothing. Rocky Sullivan: Foul! Swing: Foul? What did he do? Hit me? [to the gang] Shower down. Right there. All those nickels. You, you, you, and you. Right there. Rocky? Rocky Sullivan: Yeah, Rocky. I ain't dead yet. Give me those keys. Get going. You've done very alright. Very alright, Frazier. I'm mighty proud of you. Why shouldn't I be. We're partners ain't we? James Frazier: Of course, Rocky. Of course. Rocky Sullivan: Just like we said three years ago, huh? [on the phone to Mac] Mac, did I get you out of bed? Oh, I'm so sorry. [to James] Rocky Sullivan: I think he's sore. Where's Frazier? Rocky Sullivan: Where's that hundred grand? Mac Keefer: You think we're gonna pay off huh? Rocky Sullivan: Certainly. If I don't get that dough in three minutes, Frazier's gonna be splashed all over the best hideout in town. | |
