Cry Danger

Welcome home, rocky.

Compliments of the house.

Why?

I see all the big shots when they get off and on the trains.

If they got their picture on the front page,

paper's on me.

Here.

Take a look.

Nice picture, huh?

Add 5 years to it,

it would look just like me.

Gee, it must feel great-

out of the jug and a big shot again.

You lead some life, huh, rocky?

Yeah.

I'm a real dinger.

Man: Rocky.

How you been?

You might say all right, Gus, but I wouldn't.

Treated you rough, did they?

Oh, I got a couple of bruises... up there.

Well, you're out now.

Yeah, and what's 5 years?

You could do that just sitting around and waiting.

Yeah.

Aren't you gonna say hello

to your buddy delong?

It's been a long time, rocky.

I guess I changed.

Glad to see you. I owe you plenty.

Right now I'll settle for a drink.

I've forgotten the right words.

I wouldn't even know how to order.

Let me do it. I'll buy.

Homecoming present?

That, plus the fact I'd like to talk to you.

The man wants to buy.

Never argue with a policeman.

A detective.

Thanks.

What do you say, rocky?

Well, I had different plans for my first one,

but, uh, my friend here looks thirsty.

I'm always thirsty.

No hard feelings, rocky.

Don't bet any large amounts on that, Gus.

Could have been worse.

A month ago, you were up for life,

then your friend here

turns up with your alibi.

I gave you that same alibi 5 years ago.

You'll have to admit it was a little thin.

You said you were out drinking with some marines

when the holdup took place,

only the marines never show up.

We landed, only 5 years late.

Sorry to keep you waitin', pal.

No, that's ok.

I just would have wasted my time

having fun, anyway.

We all got shipped out

after that night.

I guess you don't remember

the other boys.

I couldn't remember any of your names.

Then they all got it

one way or another.

I misplaced a leg somewhere,

so I never heard about the mess you were in

until I got back, about a month ago.

How did Danny Morgan feel about your getting out?

Well, how should he feel?

It's no comfort station they run up there.

Too bad he couldn't dig up a marine

to alibi him.

Look, Gus, if this is just a social get-together,

why not skip it?

I want to talk to you

about the money from the holdup.

You should read my pardon that says I didn't

have anything to do with the holdup.

$100,000,

and not a penny of it has ever shown up.

Maybe it got inflated right out of existence.

I figure you might know where that money is.

Figure anything you want.

I'm a citizen again.

I'm gonna keep a tail on you, rocky,

24 hours a day.

It shouldn't be too tough a job.

I'm not going anywhere.

When you do, we'll be right with you.

Where do you figure i might go

that would interest you, Gus?

You'll make a play for that money.

It'll be easier than going to work.

If I get you again, rocky,

the army, Navy, and marines

won't be able to help you.

You buy nice drinks, mister,

but you talk so much.

Good-bye, Mr. delong.

I'll be seein' you, rocky.

I count the hours.

Hey, Mac, 2 more over here.

Let's move.

Well, pal, you're now a free man again.

Any questions?

Just one.

Shoot.

Who are you?

I figured you might be curious about that.

You weren't one of the guys

I was out with that night.

I could have been.

I was a marine.

I was here in town that night.

But you weren't one of 'em.

No.

It's all very simple, pal.

I-

I heard about your case,

checked up on it in the newspaper files...

Found out I fitted your alibi perfectly.

Here you are.

Why'd you do it?

Occasionally, I always drink too much.

You went to a lot of trouble.

Wasn't too tough.

I wore all my decorations.

I've got plenty.

Eventually you'll get around

to telling me why.

Not eventually. Right now.

You were up for life.

There was the 100,000 bucks kickin' around,

so I figured you might be... grateful

if I got you out.

You not only picked the wrong horse,

you didn't even get the right track.

Life could be beautiful with money.

Maybe you didn't hear me.

I didn't pull that stickup.

You'll be an awful big disappointment to me

if you didn't.

So I'm a big disappointment.

You didn't do it?

No. But I know who did.

Oh. Now I feel better.

You know, I think I'm just like

that policeman.

I think I'll stick around for a while

and see what you're up to.

Then come on.

I want to introduce you to a pretty girl.

Nice car.

I understand these things cost money now.

I traded my left leg for it.

Who's this girl we're gonna meet?

Wife of a friend of mine.

Sounds like a dirty trick,

but I'm for it.

She's Danny's wife-

the guy I went to jail with.

She really pretty?

She's out of bounds.

I said she was Danny's wife.

Glad I never met the guy.

Danny's one of my favorite people.

Ok, rocky. I never was one

to argue with a criminal type.

Ooh, and she has to be the wife

of a friend.

Run amok, junior. That's the wrong girl.

Hello, fellas.

And a happy mother's day to you, too.

I'm Darlene la vonne.

I'll bet you are at that, dear.

Tell me, where can i find the manager?

Williams? Oh, he's probably over there

in the office.

Thanks.

You fellas gonna live here?

Maybe, if you're a good girl

and go to church on Sundays.

Aren't you the fresh one.

Mm-hmm.

* sailed across the sea *

* she ran away from me *

* to meet another man *

* it was a dirty trick *

* she got me all-*

hey, Godfrey,

where can I find the manager?

You're talkin' to him.

I want to rent a trailer for 2.

When and for how long?

Now, and I don't know.

$10.00 a week.

It'll break our backs, but I think we can swing it.
