00:00:45 (PA announcement continues)
00:01:02 (bell ringing)
00:01:40 (man) It's crazy how you can get
00:01:43 and not even be able to think
00:01:46 and yet not be able to think
00:01:50 You get so you're no good
00:01:54 Maybe it begins by taking life too serious.
00:01:57 Anyway, I think that's
00:02:01 just before my fight with
00:04:04 (phone rings)
00:04:06 - Hello?
00:04:08 - What kept you?
00:04:10 OK, but it's getting late.
00:04:13 You better hop a cab. I had some trouble
00:04:19 - OK.
00:06:30 - You're doing all right for yourself.
00:06:34 - Oh, he just lives in the building.
00:06:37 - Used to be a pretty good fighter.
00:06:40 Sure.
00:06:42 He's fighting tonight, as a matter of fact.
00:06:59 (man) Dear Davey,
00:07:00 we still haven't heard
00:07:03 and we wondered whether
00:07:06 Out here everything's about the same.
00:07:09 I still get into Seattle every week
00:07:13 Last week I finally bought
00:07:18 Your Aunt Grace's
00:07:21 She can even take short rides
00:07:25 Well, I guess that's all now,
00:07:29 Write soon. Love,

00:10:33 (TV)... brings together
00:10:35 The youngster, undefeated in 22
00:10:39 and the veteran, Davey Gordon,
00:10:44 while losing nine and drawing two.
00:10:46 Gordon's long career - he's now 29 -
00:10:48 has been one long promise
00:10:52 As hard a puncher as they come, a clever
00:10:56 and the unlucky knack of being
00:11:00 And tonight is a big one indeed, with
00:11:05 Now let's take time out for
00:11:08 How often have you come home
00:11:53 (door opens and closes)

00:12:42 Six.
00:12:43 Seven.
00:12:45 Eight.
00:14:09 (crowd roars)
00:14:11 One. Two.
00:14:12 Three. Four.

00:15:42 But, for Gordon, tonight
00:15:45 He was to prove that his glass chin
00:15:49 but, unfortunately for him,
00:15:53 It's a well-known ring adage that
00:16:42 (music distant slow swing music)
00:17:05 (phone ringing)
00:17:17 Hello?
00:17:18 (woman) Mr Davey Gordon, please.
00:17:20 That's me.
00:17:22 Just a moment. Your party is on the line.
00:17:25 - Hi, Davey. This is Uncle George.
00:17:28 - How are you?
00:17:30 We're all fine, too. Say, how would you
00:17:35 spend a little time with us? Country's
00:17:39 It's really nice of you to ask me out but...
00:17:41 - Dave, we saw the fight on TV tonight.
00:17:44 - Nothing. We just saw it.
00:17:48 - Well, these things happen.
00:17:51 Forget it. You need a vacation,
00:17:55 Why don't you make
00:17:58 Well, look, I don't know.
00:18:01 Say, look, I feel
00:18:04 but... let me think about it.
00:18:07 I'll, uh... I'll call you.
00:18:09 - Wait. You're not hurt, are you, Dave?
00:18:13 - Good. Let us know as soon as you can.
00:18:17 - Your Aunt Grace sends her love.
00:18:20 OK. As it stands now,
00:18:24 I certainly will. Thanks for calling.
00:18:28 - Take care of yourself.
00:18:31 Good night, Davey.
00:19:29 (man) Go on home, you lying bum!
00:19:33 Go on home, boy. I don't...
00:19:36 (woman screams)
00:19:38 (woman screams)
00:19:48 Hey! What's goin' on in there?
00:20:11 (running footsteps)
00:20:13 (door opens and closes)
00:20:19 (door opens and closes)
00:20:46 There you go. That's better.
00:20:50 Look,
00:20:52 if you don't mind me...
00:20:56 what happened?
00:20:59 Well, about an hour ago...
00:21:02 (knocking on door)
00:21:21 Well?
00:21:24 What do you want?
00:21:28 I'm sorry.
00:21:30 I really am sorry.
00:21:32 - It doesn't matter now.
00:21:36 - No.
00:21:38 - Gloria, please.
00:21:41 Get out.
00:21:47 Yeah, that figures to be.
00:21:49 All my life I've always spoiled
00:21:54 - All my life.
00:21:57 Gloria, can't you understand?
00:22:00 If only you could know
00:22:03 - I didn't even know you had any feelings.
00:22:06 I'm mad about you.
00:22:08 I wanna get you outta here. I'll set you
00:22:13 - You couldn't do anything for me.
00:22:16 - and let me suffer, knowing how you feel.
00:22:20 To me you're just an old man.
00:22:24 I'm mad about you.
00:22:26 I can't stand when I see those guys
00:22:30 - Well, you won't have to see it any more.
00:22:33 - Please, just another chance.
00:22:36 - Please.
00:22:39 (screams)
00:22:47 Don't think about it any more.
00:22:52 Don't worry.
00:22:55 I'm so tired now.
00:22:57 Just close your eyes.
00:23:02 I'll sit here with you.
00:25:00 (music box chimes)
00:25:33 (Davey) I locked her door and went home.
00:25:35 But first thing in the morning
00:25:39 My knocking woke her up, but she was all
00:25:44 Over coffee she told me
00:25:46 I suppose that got me started talking
00:25:51 how I was going back to Seattle
00:25:54 But when I think back about it now
00:25:56 I realise that, all the time I was talking,
00:26:00 was to remember not to ask what it was
00:26:05 Anyway, let's talk about you.
00:26:08 Like,
00:26:10 who are those people in the picture?
00:26:13 And how did you get messed up
00:26:17 What's the matter?
00:26:18 Nothing.
00:26:20 Just that... so funny you should
00:26:25 - Together that way.
00:26:28 Well, they have both
00:26:31 - How do you mean?
00:26:35 If you don't mind telling me, I would.
00:26:38 I don't mind. For some reason
00:26:41 I've never told anybody before.
00:26:49 This is my father. This is my sister Iris.
00:26:53 But I suppose it's really Iris's story.
00:26:56 She was a ballet dancer,
00:27:00 She adored Daddy,
00:27:04 But let me start from the beginning.
00:27:07 Iris was eight years old.
00:27:09 Father was a writer
00:27:12 and Mother was very beautiful
00:27:15 They loved each other very much
00:27:19 Then I was born and
00:27:23 They say Father went on
00:27:27 And after that I don't think
00:27:32 Time passed and Iris grew
00:27:36 She was the image of her mother.
00:27:40 Iris was Daddy's favourite,
00:27:44 And maybe I began to hate her.
00:27:47 Daddy was good to me.
00:27:50 By the time she was 20,
00:27:54 and Daddy was so proud of her.
00:27:56 And then - I remember the day clearly -
00:28:01 Sunday afternoon.
00:28:03 Iris came home excited
00:28:07 The man wasn't bad-looking,
00:28:11 Father knew him and liked him,
00:28:14 but he couldn't stop laughing
00:28:17 simply because the fellow wanted her to
00:28:22 She never said if she loved him or not.
00:28:25 Then, a few months later,
00:28:30 And it turned out that he never would,
00:28:33 and that he would need constant
00:28:36 Six months to two years, they said.
00:28:40 Iris's salary wasn't enough, and in two
00:28:47 I couldn't work. I was only 13,
00:28:50 still in grade school.
00:28:52 The next thing I knew,
00:28:55 and we were all living in great style
00:29:00 Daddy had the best care money could
00:29:06 Iris gave up her dancing,
00:29:09 and did little else
00:29:13 Sick as he was, he always laughed
00:29:17 I guess I hated her more than ever now.
00:29:23 A year passed like that.
00:29:26 Her husband was a sweet man, but
00:29:30 And by then I'm sure
00:29:33 But he never said anything.
00:29:36 Then one cold winter morning the maid
00:29:41 Iris was like a stone.
00:29:45 I began to cry and shout that I hated her,
00:29:49 that she had only pretended with Daddy,
00:29:53 She didn't say a word.
00:29:56 In his room she stood quietly over
00:30:02 Then she went up to her room
00:30:05 It was from one of her ballets.
00:30:10 A short time later her husband found her
00:30:15 She'd cut her wrists and she was dead.
00:30:19 She left me a note.
00:30:24 Said she loved me.
00:30:27 She was sorry for making
00:30:31 Later, I was in the city
00:30:34 and I happened to pass the dance hall.
00:30:37 Sign read "Pleasureland.
00:30:40 I don't know what possessed me.
00:30:46 I don't understand any part of it.
00:30:48 Every night I worked
00:30:52 a human zoo.
00:30:55 I kept thinking "At least Iris
00:31:01 And then I started to feel less unhappy.
00:31:07 Come on, let's go out for a walk.
00:31:09 (Davey) We went out for a walk.
00:31:12 I bought her an ice cream
00:31:15 We must have walked for hours,
00:31:19 She became very happy and
00:31:22 But when I said I was taking
00:31:26 she got serious again and very quiet.
00:31:28 I didn't know it, but I was already in over
00:31:32 We didn't get back until after lunch.
00:31:45 Something's happened.
00:31:46 I know.
00:31:49 - Do you know?
00:31:53 - Is that all?
00:32:24 I love you.
00:32:26 Love me? That's funny.
00:32:30 Why is it so funny?
00:32:32 Why?
00:32:33 It's a mistake to confuse pity with love.
00:32:46 Look, Gloria...
00:32:54 Looking back now, I don't know
00:32:57 but she agreed to come
00:33:00 I should have had sense enough
00:33:03 and she was so scared
00:33:06 But I was kidding myself, and all I could
00:33:09 We made reservations and wired Uncle
00:33:13 And then we got our finances together.
00:33:16 (phone)
00:33:19 - Yes?
00:33:21 Gloria Price called to say she's
00:33:27 You there, Mr Rappalo?
00:33:30 Thanks.
00:34:13 (phone ringing)
00:34:24 - Albert?
00:34:26 OK. Have you got enough money on you
00:34:30 What's the rush?
00:34:32 I don't feel too good. I think I'll go out
00:34:36 - Wait a minute, I'll see.
00:34:47 - OK. Come on over.
00:34:52 Pleasureland instead? You know,
00:34:56 Maybe around eight tonight.
00:34:58 I'll be there, but it has to be 8.15.
00:35:00 I'm taking my wife to a show.
00:35:03 - Right. I'll see you there. Take it easy.
00:35:11 (music "Oh Susannah" on mouth organ)
00:35:31 (car horns)
00:36:09 (music slow swing music)
00:36:49 - Still feel the same way?
00:36:52 - I understand you're going away.
00:36:55 - Where?
00:36:58 Oh, sure. How much do I owe you?
00:37:02 - A week.
00:37:05 No.
00:37:06 - Will I ever see you again?
00:37:09 - I couldn't take that.
00:37:12 - That's not true.
00:37:15 - I could kill you right here and now.
00:37:20 - I wouldn't be too sure of that.
00:37:24 I really am in a hurry.
00:37:26 - For what?
00:37:37 - You going away with him?
00:37:41 - All the same, you are, aren't you?
00:37:44 - Then you are.
00:37:46 - He's a bum. You'll be grubbing for him.
00:37:49 Sure. Like the man said,
00:37:53 Well, you're a comedian, too.
00:38:01 Get out.
00:38:03 I'm not asking for favours,
00:38:08 Get out!
00:38:28 Hey.
00:38:29 Hey.
00:38:31 Come on, give me back the scarf.
00:38:35 Come on. Come on.
00:38:37 Hey.
00:38:42 Hey!
00:39:06 (music slow swing music)
00:39:18 (swing music ends)
00:39:20 (music Latin-style dance music)
00:39:35 Miss? The boss says he's sorry and if you
00:40:30 What do you guys want?
00:40:36 Who are you?
00:40:40 Here.
00:40:41 Do you want my money? Here, take it.
00:41:26 - Where did you go?
00:41:30 He said no, then gave me
00:41:32 Weird. Did you see Albert?
00:41:34 Somebody was here before.
00:42:10 I guess he got tired of waiting.
00:42:22 (Davey) We had ham and eggs and
00:42:26 Downstairs in the courtyard
00:42:29 and I'd come over when I was through.
00:44:19 (distant knocking on door)
00:44:22 (man) Open the door.
00:44:27 Open the door!
00:44:34 - Looks like he's gone.
00:44:36 No, sir.
00:44:38 - Where's he from?
00:44:42 - When did he leave?
00:45:00 - How long's he lived here?
00:45:04 - Give me a hand with this drawer.
00:45:11 - What kind of trouble is he in?
00:45:14 Found his manager's body
00:45:21 (policeman) OK. Let's go.
00:46:27 (squawking)
00:46:54 (car door opens and closes)
00:46:59 Good morning, Mr Rappalo. I'm sorry
00:47:03 Anyway, Mr Albert
00:47:07 That was my manager you knocked off.
00:47:10 - What?
00:47:12 - What?
00:47:14 - I don't know.
00:47:18 I'm gonna count to three, and if you
00:47:22 One. Two.
00:47:24 - A loft on 24th Street.
00:47:27 - Boys were waiting.
00:47:29 Yeah, she's all right. I had to do it.
00:47:33 She saw the boys at the dance hall.
00:47:36 She was a witness.
00:47:39 They grabbed her and made it look
00:47:43 I didn't want murder. It's all gone wrong.
00:47:46 Get goin'.
00:48:25 Get 'em up.
00:48:33 (lift whirs loudly)
00:48:37 Is that you, Mr Rappalo?
00:48:40 Yes, it's me, boys.
00:49:06 Up! Everybody up.
00:49:11 Against the wall and lean on your hands.
00:49:20 Come on.
00:49:47 - How are you, baby?
00:49:51 (Davey) I can't get the rope.
00:49:53 Be careful.
00:50:00 You.
00:50:01 Yeah, you.
00:50:03 Untie her.
00:51:01 Listen, Vinnie.
00:51:03 Don't kill me. I don't wanna die.
00:51:06 I'll do anything you say. Anything.
00:51:10 You love him, though, don't you?
00:51:12 I don't know. I don't think so.
00:51:15 Two days!
00:51:18 Please, Vinnie. Please don't kill me.
00:51:21 You said you were mad
00:51:24 I'm just an old man and
00:51:27 I didn't mean it.
00:51:29 You know I didn't mean it.
00:51:50 - We could go away.
00:51:53 Sure. I got lots of money. We could
00:51:57 London. Paris. Sicily.
00:52:00 - I'll do anything you want.
00:52:03 Settle down, have a couple of kids.
00:52:06 Sure.
00:52:09 What do you take me for?
00:52:13 You and lover boy
00:52:16 You liked me once. Remember?
00:52:19 - It could be like that again.
00:52:23 - I don't care.
00:52:25 but you were too good for me. So you
00:52:29 I send the boys to work over lover boy.
00:52:32 He bangs his head too hard on the
00:52:36 Not on your life, baby. Not on your life.
00:52:41 Hey!
00:52:48 Don't shoot. C'mon.
00:52:56 Stay with her. Go ahead!
00:53:29 He went down there.
00:53:34 Be careful. It's a dead-end alley.
00:54:31 Look out!
00:54:38 Get that down. C'mon, hurry.
00:56:22 Oh! Oh.
00:56:24 - What's the matter?
00:56:26 - Come on!
00:57:24 I got him.
00:57:27 I gotta get outta here.
00:59:38 (siren)
00:59:54 I don't see anything. Do you, Joe?
00:59:58 Let's go up and have a look anyway.
01:01:47 (howling)
01:01:56 (Davey) When the cops came
01:01:59 The guy on the roof was picked up later.
01:02:01 On the ride to the police station
01:02:04 I guess she was trying to work out in
01:02:08 I don't suppose she thought how I felt,
01:02:13 At the station
01:02:15 Five hours later they chalked off
01:02:18 and had worked a confession from
01:02:23 On my way out, the desk sergeant
01:02:27 There was no message for me, and I
01:02:31 And now I don't suppose I ever will again.
01:02:34 Anyway, I guess
01:02:36 Know a girl for two days and fall in love.
01:02:39 So I cashed my cheque, sent flowers
01:02:43 and here I am.
