- 4:52Speaker 5: Nora, look who's here. This is Major Frank McLeod.
- 4:55Speaker 3: And this is Nora. This is George's wife.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Your husband and I were in the same outfit overseas.
- 5:01Speaker 5: As if she didn't know.
- 5:02Speaker 9: I wrote you a letter, Major, but it came back.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Well, I haven't been staying put very long. Ever been
- 5:07Speaker 1: down here before?
- 5:08Speaker 8: No, sir.
- 5:09Speaker 3: She cools off some come November. Right livable then for
- 5:12Speaker 3: about three months. How long are you going to be
- 5:14Speaker 3: with us?
- 5:15Speaker 1: Oh, for an hour or so till the next bus.
- 5:17Speaker 5: An hour?
- 5:18Speaker 3: Why, you could spare us more time than that, surely. Well,
- 5:21Speaker 3: I don't... Overnight at least. So you will. He can
- 5:23Speaker 3: have George's room, Lord.
- 5:25Speaker 9: Yes, Dad, of course. Oh, it looks as if we
- 5:27Speaker 9: have more company.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Hi.
- 5:28Speaker 13: Hello.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Local police, Major. They're looking for a couple of Indians.
- 5:32Speaker 7: Afternoon. Any sign of the Osceola brothers?
- 5:35Speaker 5: Sorry, Ben.
- 5:36Speaker 3: No sign of them around here. I want you and
- 5:39Speaker 3: Clyde to meet my son's commanding officer. This is Major McCloud.
- 5:43Speaker 8: Hi, Major.
- 5:45Speaker 1: You don't mind, Mr.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Temple.
- 5:46Speaker 3: We'd like to have a look around. Was I you,
- 5:48Speaker 3: I'd save myself the trouble. They'll give themselves up by morning. Well, Clyde,
- 5:53Speaker 3: if Mr. Temple says they ain't here, they ain't here.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Sorry to bother you, Mr. Temple.
- 5:58Speaker 9: Such a fuss over a couple of harmless Indians.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Nora's right, Major. They just got a little snootful and
- 6:05Speaker 3: started to take Florida back for the Seminoles. Well, I
- 6:09Speaker 3: sent word for them to come here and give themselves up.
- 6:12Speaker 3: Not that I'm supposed to know where they are, you understand. Well,
- 6:17Speaker 3: let's get inside and cool off. You mind giving me
- 6:19Speaker 3: a hand? Be glad to.
- 6:20Speaker 1: George told me how you were sort of crippled up.
- 6:22Speaker 5: Yeah, my legs.
- 6:23Speaker 3: A tree fell on them eight years ago. Hurricanes. Been
- 6:26Speaker 3: no good for anything ever since.
- 6:28Speaker 9: I'll go on and see about your room, maybe.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Thanks.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Thanks a lot.
- 6:34Speaker 13: Hiya, Mr.
- 6:42Speaker 5: Temple.
- 6:43Speaker 8: I see the fellow found you okay.
- 6:45Speaker 3: Major McLeod here. He was my son's commanding officer overseas. Yeah?
- 6:50Speaker 3: They were in the Italian campaign together. My boy George was...
- 6:55Speaker 3: Killed at casino. Yeah?
- 6:59Speaker 5: What's going on up there?
- 7:01Speaker 3: Nothing, Mr.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Temple.
- 7:02Speaker 3: Nothing at all.
- 7:03Speaker 5: Nora, what is it? It's Miss Dawn. Case of one
- 7:06Speaker 5: too many, Pop.
- 7:06Speaker 8: Miss Dawn drinks too much.
- 7:08Speaker 9: You had no right to hit her.
- 7:09Speaker 5: If you people can't behave yourselves, you gotta leave. Don't
- 7:12Speaker 5: worry about it, Pop.
- 7:13Speaker 3: She'll behave. You got the room ready, Nora? Maybe the
- 7:16Speaker 3: major'd like to wash up.
- 7:17Speaker 9: Yes, it's ready. This way, please. Up the stairs.
- 7:20Speaker 7: Thanks.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Say, uh, these other guests, how long they been here?
- 7:24Speaker 9: Three days. That's their yacht you saw off the pier.
- 7:28Speaker 11: Mr.
- 7:28Speaker 9: Brown's yacht.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Which one is Mr. Brown?
- 7:31Speaker 9: Oh, he's in his room. Rich, I guess, from the
- 7:33Speaker 9: way they all jump when he lifts a finger. He's
- 7:36Speaker 9: a lady killer, or he thinks he is. Anyway, they'll
- 7:39Speaker 9: be leaving soon. Well, here's your room. Major, were you
- 7:48Speaker 9: with George when he died?
- 7:50Speaker 3: Yes, I was.
- 7:52Speaker 9: Did he suffer a lot? No.
- 7:55Speaker 1: No, he never knew what hit him.
- 7:57Speaker 9: I was afraid he might.
- 7:58Speaker 8: Can I come in?
- 7:59Speaker 1: Yeah, sure. Come on in.
- 8:00Speaker 9: Come down to Dad's office when you're ready, Major.
- 8:03Speaker 15: So you're staying the night, huh? I'm Curly Hoff. I
- 8:08Speaker 15: hope you're not sore. I mean the way we handle
- 8:09Speaker 15: you downstairs. No, I'm not sore about anything.
- 8:11Speaker 8: I guess you're wondering what we're doing here.
- 8:13Speaker 1: I don't suppose it's any of my business.
- 8:15Speaker 15: We come down from Milwaukee, the four of us, deep
- 8:17Speaker 15: sea fishing. More than a year we've been planning this trip.
- 8:21Speaker 15: So what happens? The blind shows up. If she isn't
- 8:23Speaker 15: drunk and crying, then she's got to hang over and argue.
- 8:26Speaker 15: And now I ask you, could you blame us for
- 8:28Speaker 15: not being nice and polite?
- 8:29Speaker 8: No, I don't blame you. You're going downstairs? Let's have
- 8:32Speaker 8: a little drink. Well, not right now, thanks. Well, come on, Jack.
- 8:35Speaker 8: Just to show there's no hard feelings.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Hey, miss.
- 8:39Speaker 8: Was you just talking on the telephone?
- 8:41Speaker 9: Yes, the Coast Guard called.
- 8:43Speaker 10: Oh.
- 8:44Speaker 8: I thought maybe it was for one of us.
- 8:46Speaker 9: The storm signals are up. Hurricane's on its way.
- 8:49Speaker 8: You see what I mean, Mr.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Hurricane?
- 8:51Speaker 10: Yes.
- 8:52Speaker 9: Dad's in here, Major, in the office.
- 8:54Speaker 3: Sit down, Major.
- 8:55Speaker 13: Sit down.
- 8:56Speaker 1: The war's over, Mr.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Temple.
- 8:57Speaker 6: I'm not a major anymore. Well, I guess you want
- 9:01Speaker 6: to know about George. He was a good soldier, Mr.
- 9:04Speaker 3: Temple.
- 9:04Speaker 1: You can be proud of him.
- 9:06Speaker 3: I always was.
- 9:07Speaker 1: George was a born hero, I guess.
- 9:08Speaker 6: It's a wonder he lasted till Casino. But when you
- 9:12Speaker 6: believe like George believed, maybe dying isn't very important. Well,
- 9:16Speaker 6: he talked a lot about both of you. You'd be
- 9:18Speaker 6: surprised how much I know.
- 9:20Speaker 9: What's it like where... Where George is buried.
- 9:24Speaker 6: Sort of pretty and peaceful. Crosses on a slope and
- 9:27Speaker 6: high up what's left of a church. You can see
- 9:30Speaker 6: a river from where George is.
- 9:32Speaker 3: I'd like to pay a visit to that place.
- 9:34Speaker 9: Maybe someday we can, Dad.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Go to Italy and see where George is buried.
- 9:40Speaker 9: Dad, there's a storm warning. I'd better see to the boat.
- 9:43Speaker 3: Maybe Frank would like to go with you.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Yeah, sure.
- 9:50Speaker 9: Tell me something. What brought you down here?
- 9:53Speaker 1: Oh, I like the sea, and I thought I'd like
- 9:55Speaker 1: to make my living at it.
- 9:56Speaker 9: Doing what?
- 9:57Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. Life on land's getting tough. complicated for my tastes.
- 10:01Speaker 9: What'd you do before the war?
- 10:03Speaker 1: Circulation manager for a newspaper. Good job.
- 10:05Speaker 9: Didn't you go back to it?
- 10:06Speaker 1: Yeah, but I couldn't stick to it. I've done a
- 10:10Speaker 1: lot of things since. Anything to make a dollar.
- 10:13Speaker 9: Well, this is our boat, the Santana. Not much you
- 10:16Speaker 9: can do when it starts to blow like this. Just
- 10:18Speaker 9: hope for the best.
- 10:19Speaker 1: How's your ground tackle off stern?
- 10:21Speaker 9: Oh, plenty heavy.
- 10:22Speaker 1: I'd better double up in these bow lines.
- 10:24Speaker 9: Where'd you learn about boats?
- 10:26Speaker 6: Oh, my first sweetheart was a boat. Say, uh, that
- 10:29Speaker 6: yacht out there, that's his, huh, Mr.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Browns?
- 10:33Speaker 9: I think he charted it.
- 10:33Speaker 1: She'd better get away.
- 10:35Speaker 5: From the reefs.
- 10:35Speaker 9: Oh, there's a skipper aboard. He ought to know what
- 10:37Speaker 9: to do.
- 10:37Speaker 5: Hello, Miss Nora. What? Tom.
- 10:40Speaker 9: Hello, and John.
- 10:42Speaker 8: Well, come here.
- 10:44Speaker 9: Frank, this is Tom and John Osceola.
- 10:46Speaker 5: How do you do?
- 10:47Speaker 1: We're bad Indians, huh, Miss Nora?
- 10:50Speaker 5: Well, we give ourselves up to police.
- 10:51Speaker 9: I'm glad, Tom. Dad says it's the best thing.
- 10:54Speaker 5: We do whatever he says. He's a good friend.
- 10:56Speaker 9: Well, did you come here alone?
- 10:57Speaker 3: Oh, no, miss. All Indians on Clawfish Island come.
- 11:00Speaker 5: Best thing when hurricane blows.
- 11:02Speaker 8: It's all right, Miss Nora. The family stay on Hotel
- 11:05Speaker 8: Porch and not make any bother.
- 11:07Speaker 9: Of course it's all right. Where are they all?
- 11:08Speaker 5: At Cove, miss.
- 11:09Speaker 3: We'll go tell them.
- 11:10Speaker 5: I'll tell Dad.
- 11:11Speaker 9: He'll telephone the police.
- 11:12Speaker 5: Yes, miss. Very good.
- 11:15Speaker 9: They'd do anything at all for Dad. As far as
- 11:17Speaker 9: they're concerned, he's the United States of America.
- 11:20Speaker 1: You're very happy here, aren't you?
- 11:23Speaker 16: Very.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Never lonely?
- 11:25Speaker 9: No, not anymore. Before George, my life hadn't made much sense.
- 11:32Speaker 9: I never had much of a home and didn't like
- 11:33Speaker 9: what I had. Well, George... George gave me roots. When
- 11:40Speaker 9: he went overseas, I came down here to stay with
- 11:42Speaker 9: his father and the roots took hold. Now I.
- 11:46Speaker 9: I'm like one of those men.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Well, I guess that answers my question.
- 11:51Speaker 13: Oh, here it comes.
- 11:52Speaker 8: Come on, before we get soaked.
- 12:04Speaker 3: Well, I just talked to the Osceola brothers. We're going to.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Wait out there on the porch. I thought you said
- 12:09Speaker 1: the police had come back.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Cars down the road, all right, but no sign of
- 12:14Speaker 3: Ben or Clyde.
- 12:16Speaker 8: I wonder where they went.
- 12:17Speaker 9: Where'd those people go, Dad? Up in their rooms?
- 12:19Speaker 3: They're all in the bar. Well, this is going to
- 12:22Speaker 3: be an experience for them. Real Florida hurricane.
- 12:26Speaker 9: I'll get it, Dad.
- 12:27Speaker 3: It's okay, miss.
- 12:28Speaker 8: I'll take it.
- 12:28Speaker 9: But I.
- 12:28Speaker 8: I said I'll take it.
- 12:32Speaker 9: Hello?
- 12:33Speaker 13: No, Mr.
- 12:34Speaker 8: Temple's not here now.
- 12:35Speaker 5: Of course I'm here.
- 12:36Speaker 3: Who is it?
- 12:37Speaker 5: Me?
- 12:38Speaker 8: I'm a guest at the hotel. No, we haven't seen him.
- 12:42Speaker 9: Give me that phone.
- 12:43Speaker 1: You heard her. Give her the phone.
- 12:44Speaker 5: Take it easy, soldier. Put down that gun. What do
- 12:47Speaker 5: you think you're doing here? Shut up. All of you.
- 12:50Speaker 8: Okay, Sheriff. If Sawyer shows up, I'll have him call
- 12:53Speaker 8: you right back.
- 12:54Speaker 5: That was Ben Wade.
- 12:55Speaker 8: Yeah, I guess it was. He was looking for his deputy.
- 12:58Speaker 9: Then Clyde Sawyer must have come here alone. That's his
- 13:00Speaker 9: car down the road.
- 13:01Speaker 3: Is it?
- 13:02Speaker 5: Well, I'm calling Ben right back.
- 13:03Speaker 8: You're not phoning anybody, Pop.
- 13:05Speaker 5: Who are you? Pack of thieves? Put that gun away.
- 13:09Speaker 8: Come on, Toots. Let's take him upstairs and see Mr.
- 13:11Speaker 5: Browne.
- 13:12Speaker 8: Angel, keep your eyes open.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Curly's got them across the hall, boss. The old man,
- 13:27Speaker 1: the girl, and the soldier. Well, what happened?
- 13:30Speaker 7: Who's on the phone?
- 13:31Speaker 13: The law.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Sheriff.
- 13:32Speaker 13: Looking for the deputy. That means it won't be long, then.
- 13:37Speaker 13: You'd think this rain would cool things off, but it don't.
- 13:41Speaker 13: Gonna have a hurricane, huh? Yeah, that's what they say.
- 13:43Speaker 3: I want to talk to you, Mr.
- 13:44Speaker 5: Brown. Open that door and come out here.
- 13:49Speaker 13: Now, what's all this about? Oh, good evening, Mr. Stemple.
- 13:53Speaker 13: Who's the young man?
- 13:54Speaker 1: My name's McCloud.
- 13:55Speaker 5: I want some answers, Mr. Brown. You want money? Is
- 13:59Speaker 5: this a robbery?
- 14:00Speaker 13: Now, look, Pop. Let's be nice and sensible, huh? Now,
- 14:04Speaker 13: forget the questions. What you don't know won't hurt you.
- 14:07Speaker 13: I'm expecting a friend. He ought to get here in
- 14:09Speaker 13: a couple of hours now, and then we'll get out
- 14:10Speaker 13: of here. Now, try and put up with us that long, huh? Well, sister,
- 14:16Speaker 13: what are we going to eat tonight? Pompano, maybe?
- 14:18Speaker 3: Am I to understand we're prisoners?
- 14:21Speaker 13: Well, put it this way, Pop. You're going to be
- 14:22Speaker 13: my guest for a little while. You know, back in
- 14:27Speaker 13: Chicago in the old days, we used to pay $ 8
- 14:30Speaker 13: or $ 10 for an order of pompano. Used to fly
- 14:33Speaker 13: it in. And the way they served it. Yes, sirree,
- 14:38Speaker 13: all done up in the brown paper bag. Oh, got
- 14:41Speaker 13: any champagne, miss?
- 14:42Speaker 5: No champagne, boss. I looked before.
- 14:44Speaker 13: Oh, well, that's too bad. Champagne and pompadour. They really
- 14:50Speaker 13: go together.
- 14:50Speaker 8: Hey, boss, the cop's starting to come around.
- 14:53Speaker 3: Sawyer.
- 14:54Speaker 5: You got Sawyer in there. Yeah, that's right, pop. Mr.
- 14:57Speaker 8: Temple, call Ben Wade.
- 15:00Speaker 5: Tell him I need.
- 15:01Speaker 8: I happened to run into him, pop, about ten minutes
- 15:03Speaker 8: ago down on the beach.
- 15:04Speaker 3: Look at him.
- 15:05Speaker 5: He's all beaten up. Why did you hurt that boy?
- 15:08Speaker 5: He's a cop, that's why. And who are you? Answer me.
- 15:11Speaker 5: Who are you?
- 15:11Speaker 8: He's Johnny Rocco, Mr.
- 15:13Speaker 3: Temple.
- 15:14Speaker 13: Yeah, that's right. Johnny Rocco.
- 15:16Speaker 9: Please, let me help Mr.
- 15:18Speaker 5: Sawyer.
- 15:18Speaker 9: He's badly hurt.
- 15:19Speaker 13: Okay, go on in. Curly, let her help him.
- 15:22Speaker 5: Rocco. I know that name.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Johnny Rocco the gangster. The one and only Rocco.
- 15:28Speaker 5: But they threw you out of the country.
- 15:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:31Speaker 13: Yeah, that's right. After living in the USA for more
- 15:34Speaker 13: than 30 years, they called me an undesirable alien. Me,
- 15:37Speaker 13: Johnny Rocco. Like I was a Dirty red or something.
- 15:41Speaker 5: Well, how can you be here?
- 15:43Speaker 13: Well, maybe I'm not, Pop. You know, this ain't real,
- 15:46Speaker 13: what's happening. You're having a dream.
- 15:48Speaker 5: Here, wake up, Pop. You're snoring. You're right. You shouldn't
- 15:52Speaker 5: have been deported. You should have been exterminated.
- 15:56Speaker 13: I'll show you.
- 15:58Speaker 1: I apologize for Mr.
- 15:59Speaker 3: Temple.
- 16:00Speaker 1: He doesn't know what he's talking about.
- 16:02Speaker 7: Or who, too.
- 16:03Speaker 6: Sir, Johnny Rocco was a king, an emperor. His rule
- 16:07Speaker 6: extended over beer, slot machines, the numbers racket... and a
- 16:10Speaker 6: dozen other forbidden enterprises. He's a master of the fix.
- 16:14Speaker 6: When we couldn't corrupt, he terrified. When we couldn't terrify,
- 16:16Speaker 6: he murdered.
- 16:17Speaker 5: You filth! You city filth!
- 16:20Speaker 9: Mr.
- 16:20Speaker 3: Temple, please.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Welcome back, Mr.
- 16:23Speaker 8: Rocco. It was all a mistake. America's sorry for what
- 16:25Speaker 8: it did to you.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Hey, on the level, boss.
- 16:27Speaker 8: Were you that big?
- 16:28Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 16:30Speaker 13: Yeah, that's me, sure. I was all of those things
- 16:33Speaker 13: and more. When Rocco talked, everybody shut up and listened.
- 16:37Speaker 13: What Rocco said went. Nobody was as big as Rocco.
- 16:41Speaker 13: I'll be back up there one of these days, and
- 16:42Speaker 13: then you're really going to see something. Now what's with you,
- 16:46Speaker 13: wise guy? Well, give. You were in the war, huh?
- 16:52Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:53Speaker 13: Get any medals?
- 16:54Speaker 7: A couple.
- 16:55Speaker 8: Brave, huh?
- 16:56Speaker 1: No, not very.
- 16:58Speaker 13: Why'd you stick your neck out?
- 16:59Speaker 1: No good reason.
- 17:00Speaker 5: Frank, what are you saying?
- 17:01Speaker 1: I believed some words.
- 17:03Speaker 13: Words?
- 17:04Speaker 7: What words?
- 17:06Speaker 1: Well, it went like this, Mr.
- 17:07Speaker 5: Roppel.
- 17:09Speaker 6: But we are not making all this sacrifice of human
- 17:11Speaker 6: effort and human lives to return to the kind of
- 17:14Speaker 6: world we had after the last world war. We are
- 17:17Speaker 6: fighting to cleanse the world of ancient evils, ancient ills.
- 17:22Speaker 13: What's all that about?
- 17:23Speaker 3: I remember those words.
- 17:25Speaker 1: That makes two of us.
- 17:26Speaker 3: We rid ourselves of your kind once and for all, Rocko.
- 17:30Speaker 5: You ain't coming back.
- 17:32Speaker 13: Who's going to stop me, old man?
- 17:33Speaker 5: If I wasn't all crippled up.
- 17:35Speaker 13: You wouldn't be talking this way. Right, Pop?
- 17:37Speaker 3: Felt you.
- 17:38Speaker 5: Felt I. That's it, Pop. Go on, get him. Go on,
- 17:41Speaker 5: sick him.
- 17:42Speaker 13: Go on, keep swinging, Pop.
- 17:44Speaker 5: Come in, hit me, will you?
- 17:46Speaker 13: Oh, you're not quitting, are you?
- 17:48Speaker 5: My boy George never quitting.
- 17:50Speaker 1: I ain't quitting.
- 17:51Speaker 5: I ain't never quitting.
- 17:53Speaker 9: Dad, I'll kill you.
- 17:55Speaker 13: I'll kill you. Little wildcat, huh? I like that. Yeah.
- 18:02Speaker 13: Got claws, huh? Want to scratch, huh?
- 18:04Speaker 3: Hey, boss.
- 18:05Speaker 14: Boss, telephone.
- 18:06Speaker 11: Miami wants you on the phone.
- 18:07Speaker 3: Okay.

- 18:25Speaker 11: The hurricane.
- 18:26Speaker 13: Well, keep them out. Where's the blonde? How come she's
- 18:30Speaker 13: missed all this? I guess she's still in the room,
- 18:32Speaker 13: sleeping it off.
- 18:33Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:34Speaker 13: Hand me the phone. Hello? Yeah, this is Mr.
- 18:38Speaker 5: Brown. Oh, hello, Ziggy.

- 18:47Speaker 13: the door. What'd you say, Ziggy?
- 18:49Speaker 5: Maybe it's the law.
- 18:50Speaker 13: Well, show him in. Look, when you coming down here?
- 18:54Speaker 5: What hurricane?
- 18:55Speaker 8: Is that right?
- 18:56Speaker 5: Hey, it's the guy from the yacht who caused the skipper.

- 19:21Speaker 13: you do as I say. Please, senor. I got to
- 19:24Speaker 13: move my boat. Angel, give me your rod.
- 19:29Speaker 3: See this?
- 19:30Speaker 13: Now you try to move that boat and I'll blow
- 19:32Speaker 13: your brains out. We'll be out of here in a
- 19:35Speaker 13: couple of hours.
- 19:36Speaker 7: Si, senor.

- 22:30Speaker 13: Up the stairs.
- 22:32Speaker 9: Can you talk, Clyde? Are you feeling better?
- 22:35Speaker 3: Well, I guess I'm all right now, Mrs.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Temple.
- 22:38Speaker 3: What happened?
- 22:39Speaker 1: Go ahead, copper.
- 22:40Speaker 3: Tell him. I drove back here alone.
- 22:42Speaker 8: I was sure those two Indians were around here somewhere.
- 22:45Speaker 3: I was near your dock when somebody slugged me.
- 22:50Speaker 8: Whose room is this?
- 22:51Speaker 1: A very famous man, Johnny Rocco's.
- 22:54Speaker 5: Rocco?
- 22:54Speaker 3: You heard him, deputy.
- 22:56Speaker 8: What did Miami have to say?
- 22:57Speaker 13: They're on their way. How are you feeling, copper? You'd
- 23:03Speaker 13: give your left eye to nail me, wouldn't you? Local
- 23:06Speaker 13: deputy captured Johnny Rocco. You can picture it in all
- 23:09Speaker 13: the papers, huh? Well, listen, Hick. That was too much
- 23:14Speaker 13: for any big city police to handle. They tried, but
- 23:16Speaker 13: they couldn't. That's right, Mr.
- 23:17Speaker 9: Sawyer.
- 23:18Speaker 8: It took the United States government to get Johnny Rocco.
- 23:20Speaker 13: Yeah, and I'm back again, ain't I? They threw me out,
- 23:22Speaker 13: but now I'm back. And before you know it, I'll
- 23:25Speaker 13: be pulling the strings again. I'll be electing mayors and
- 23:26Speaker 13: governors before you ever get a ten-buck raise.
- 23:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:31Speaker 13: How many of those guys in office owe everything to me?
- 23:34Speaker 13: I made them. I made them like a tailor makes
- 23:37Speaker 13: a suit of clothes. I take a nobody seat, teach
- 23:39Speaker 13: him what to say. I pay for his campaign expenses,
- 23:42Speaker 13: dish out a lot of groceries and coal, get my
- 23:44Speaker 13: boys to bring the voters out and then count the
- 23:45Speaker 13: votes over and over again till they add up right,
- 23:48Speaker 13: and he's elected. And what happens? Does he remember when
- 23:52Speaker 13: the going gets tough, when the heat's on?
- 23:54Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 23:55Speaker 13: All he wanted was to save his own dirty neck.
- 23:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:59Speaker 13: Public enemy, he calls me. Me, who gave him his
- 24:02Speaker 13: public all wrapped up with a fancy bow on it.
- 24:06Speaker 13: What am I getting mad about? Kelly, lay out my clothes.
- 24:09Speaker 3: What suit, Johnny?
- 24:09Speaker 13: A gray one and a white shirt. Nora, huh? Your
- 24:15Speaker 13: name is Nora, huh? That little wildcat. What are you
- 24:20Speaker 13: sore about, honey?
- 24:21Speaker 9: Keep away from me.
- 24:22Speaker 13: Ah, wait till I'm dressed up. You like style, I
- 24:24Speaker 13: can tell.
- 24:25Speaker 9: Keep away from me.
- 24:26Speaker 13: You know, I knew one like you a long time ago. Scratched, kicked, bit,
- 24:31Speaker 13: even stuck a knife in me once. Little and kind
- 24:35Speaker 13: of skinny she was with a real fireball. Her name
- 24:39Speaker 13: was Maggie Mahoney. And then for professional reasons, I had
- 24:43Speaker 13: to change her to Gay Dawn.
- 24:44Speaker 8: She was sure some knockout in those days.
- 24:46Speaker 13: Yeah, just like this one, eh, Curly? Just like this one, huh?
- 24:49Speaker 5: Look at him. The great Johnny Rocco, slapped by a girl.
- 24:54Speaker 13: Shut up, old man.
- 24:56Speaker 7: You hillbillies.
- 24:57Speaker 13: There's nothing to stop me from wiping you all out.
- 24:59Speaker 6: Give her a smack. Get it out of your system.
- 25:01Speaker 6: That might be right for you, Curly, but not for
- 25:03Speaker 6: Johnny Rocco.
- 25:04Speaker 13: I need your advice, soldier. I asked for it.
- 25:05Speaker 6: No, smacking her isn't enough for such an insult. He'd
- 25:09Speaker 6: have to kill her, and he'd have to kill the
- 25:11Speaker 6: rest of us because we witnessed it. But he needs
- 25:13Speaker 6: your help, so he's going to forget it.
- 25:16Speaker 13: Wise guy, huh? Regular wise guy.
- 25:18Speaker 5: Unlock the door! Open the door! I want out!
- 25:22Speaker 1: There's the blonde, Johnny, sounding all figured.
- 25:24Speaker 13: Now let her out. Get out, all of you. I'm
- 25:27Speaker 13: going to get dressed.
- 25:29Speaker 15: I'd take off my hat to you, soldier. It's a
- 25:32Speaker 15: good thing you said what you did. I know Johnny.
- 25:34Speaker 8: He just started shooting.
- 25:35Speaker 11: Where is everybody?
- 25:36Speaker 5: Downstairs?
- 25:38Speaker 7: Oh.
- 25:38Speaker 8: Hi, everybody.
- 25:40Speaker 5: Where's Johnny?
- 25:41Speaker 7: In his room.
- 25:42Speaker 12: I need a drink.
- 25:44Speaker 1: What's everybody doing upstairs?
- 25:47Speaker 3: Miss Temple. Hey, what's wrong, honey?
- 25:51Speaker 13: You been crying?
- 25:52Speaker 9: Has somebody been mean to you?
- 25:55Speaker 5: Oh, him, huh?
- 25:58Speaker 12: Did you make her cry?
- 25:59Speaker 1: I may be partly responsible.
- 26:01Speaker 8: Well, you ought to be ashamed. Come on, downstairs.
- 26:03Speaker 5: Downstairs.
- 26:04Speaker 8: Come on, let's go to the bar, honey.
- 26:07Speaker 9: Have a little drink.
- 26:08Speaker 1: We'll chase the blues away.
- 26:10Speaker 11: No, thanks.
- 26:11Speaker 5: I think.
- 26:12Speaker 1: I think I'll have one.
- 26:13Speaker 13: The boss said that.
- 26:14Speaker 8: I don't care what he said. I need a drink.
- 26:18Speaker 13: I don't feel well.
- 26:20Speaker 12: How many times do I have to tell you?
- 26:22Speaker 5: Johnny says no more drinks.
- 26:23Speaker 8: This is a free country. If I want a drink,
- 26:26Speaker 8: I can have one.
- 26:27Speaker 1: I can buy my own, see?
- 26:29Speaker 3: There.
- 26:31Speaker 5: Well, it's money, isn't it?
- 26:34Speaker 8: Take it.
- 26:34Speaker 5: Sorry, baby, the boss said.
- 26:36Speaker 8: The boss, the boss.
- 26:37Speaker 9: Tell the boss he can.
- 26:39Speaker 3: Hello, darling.
- 26:41Speaker 13: How come it's not her night and then my day?
- 26:45Speaker 13: When it's raining and when it ain't. Well, wise guy?
- 26:49Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 26:50Speaker 7: You don't know?
- 26:51Speaker 13: I thought you was a wise guy from way back.
- 26:55Speaker 13: You got a million dollars?
- 26:56Speaker 9: No.
- 26:57Speaker 13: How much?
- 26:58Speaker 3: Nothing.
- 26:59Speaker 13: But you're a wise guy.
- 27:00Speaker 5: Johnny, why don't you talk to me?
- 27:02Speaker 13: Well, wise guy, you see, Mr.
- 27:04Speaker 8: Rocco, I was educated only in impractical things.
- 27:07Speaker 1: With you, it's just the opposite.
- 27:08Speaker 9: Johnny, I'm afraid of the storm.
- 27:10Speaker 13: I hate thunder. Say, Pop, this is a hurricane, huh?
- 27:14Speaker 13: A real thing.
- 27:15Speaker 3: It's the beginning.
- 27:16Speaker 9: Oh, I'm afraid.
- 27:17Speaker 13: Can cars get through during a hurricane?
- 27:19Speaker 3: Maybe, maybe not.
- 27:20Speaker 9: I think I'll have a scotch and soda, please.
- 27:24Speaker 5: No, no, no.
- 27:25Speaker 13: Oh, please, darling.
- 27:26Speaker 9: No.
- 27:27Speaker 3: You, McCloud.
- 27:28Speaker 13: Yes, sir. You know, I can see right through you.
- 27:32Speaker 13: You're saying to yourself, I'm better than Rocco. He's felt,
- 27:35Speaker 13: like the old man says here. Right?
- 27:37Speaker 3: Right.
- 27:38Speaker 13: You say to yourself, Rocco's got a gun, and I have.
- 27:42Speaker 13: You figure it's a gun. Well, listen, soldier. Thousands of
- 27:46Speaker 13: guys got guns, but there's only one Johnny Rocco.
- 27:49Speaker 3: How do you account for it?
- 27:51Speaker 1: He knows what he wants, Mr. T. Sure.
- 27:53Speaker 3: What do you want?
- 27:54Speaker 1: Tell him, Rocco.
- 27:55Speaker 5: Well, I, uh... I want.
- 27:57Speaker 1: He wants more.
- 27:58Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, that's it.
- 28:00Speaker 5: More.
- 28:00Speaker 11: I want more.
- 28:01Speaker 5: Will you ever get enough?
- 28:03Speaker 13: Well, I never have. No, I guess I won't.
- 28:06Speaker 3: You.
- 28:07Speaker 13: You know what you want?
- 28:08Speaker 1: I had hopes once, but I gave them up.
- 28:11Speaker 13: Hopes for what?
- 28:13Speaker 6: A world in which there's no place for Johnny Rocco.
- 28:17Speaker 13: Okay, soldier. Here's your chance. Give me a gun, Curly.
- 28:23Speaker 13: Now you take mine, soldier. Go on, take it.
- 28:26Speaker 3: That's it.
- 28:27Speaker 13: All right, you can make your hopes come true. But
- 28:30Speaker 13: you gotta die for it. See what I'm aiming? Right
- 28:33Speaker 13: at your belly. Go ahead, shoot. You got a gun now?
- 28:36Speaker 13: You gonna use it or not?
- 28:39Speaker 5: Kill him, Frank.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Kill him.
- 28:40Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, kill him.
- 28:41Speaker 5: Go ahead now.
- 28:42Speaker 13: Show him how you're not afraid to die for your hopes.
- 28:45Speaker 3: No.
- 28:47Speaker 8: One Rocco, more or less, isn't worth dying for.
- 28:49Speaker 3: Give it to me.
- 28:50Speaker 5: Give me the gun and the same chance.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Oh, no, Pop.
- 28:53Speaker 13: I'm afraid you'd use it. What's the matter? What's the matter, Nora, honey?
- 28:58Speaker 13: You look like you lost somebody near and dear. A
- 29:01Speaker 13: live war hero. Well, now I know how you did it. Hey, Curly, Gay,
- 29:07Speaker 13: anybody want a hero? Here's one for sale, cheap.
- 29:10Speaker 5: All right, Rocco.
- 29:11Speaker 17: Let you and me play that game.
- 29:13Speaker 5: He got the gun. Clyde's got the gun.
- 29:16Speaker 11: Kill him, Clyde. Kill him.
- 29:17Speaker 17: You can stop me from going out that door, Rocco.
- 29:19Speaker 17: But I'll shoot you first. If your friends shoot me,
- 29:22Speaker 17: you'll still get it. Now then, stand away from that door.
- 29:26Speaker 17: I said to stand up.
- 29:30Speaker 9: The gun wasn't loaded. He didn't have a chance.
- 29:33Speaker 3: Murderer.
- 29:34Speaker 13: Well, I had to do it, old man, or he
- 29:36Speaker 13: would have been out that door and gone.
- 29:37Speaker 1: He's sure gone now, Johnny.
- 29:39Speaker 13: You were right. little lady. That gun wasn't loaded, but
- 29:41Speaker 13: the brave deputy didn't know it.
- 29:43Speaker 3: But you knew the gun was empty, didn't you, Frank?
- 29:45Speaker 3: You could tell by the weight. No.
- 29:48Speaker 1: No, I didn't know.
- 29:50Speaker 9: Oh, but you were smart, fella. I always say it's.
- 29:53Speaker 8: Better to be a live coward than a dead hero.
- 29:55Speaker 18: Oh.
- 29:56Speaker 7: Oh.
- 29:57Speaker 9: Excuse me.
- 29:58Speaker 3: I guess I was talking to him.
- 30:01Speaker 5: You weren't afraid, son.
- 30:02Speaker 3: We know that.
- 30:03Speaker 1: I was afraid.
- 30:05Speaker 6: That's not why I didn't pull the trigger. What do
- 30:08Speaker 6: I care about Johnny Rocco, whether he lives or dies?
- 30:10Speaker 6: Rocco wants to come back to America?
- 30:12Speaker 1: Let him.
- 30:12Speaker 8: Let him be president. I fight nobody's battles but my own.
- 30:15Speaker 5: No, Frank, no.
- 30:16Speaker 13: Yes, that's good.
- 30:18Speaker 5: Rocco for president.
- 30:19Speaker 9: If I believed your way, I'd want to be dead.
- 30:21Speaker 9: It's true you are a coward.
- 30:22Speaker 13: Hey, Dutch, get rid of the deputy. You and Curly,
- 30:25Speaker 13: get rid of him. And as for you, sister, I
- 30:28Speaker 13: want something to eat.
- 30:29Speaker 9: Our best is none too good for Johnny Rock.
- 30:32Speaker 13: Yeah, well, now you're talking, sister. Molly, you go to
- 30:35Speaker 13: the kitchen with her, Angel. I ain't ready to die yet.
- 30:39Speaker 13: Not from cockroach poison.
- 30:48Speaker 8: He's on the phone, boss. Ziggy, why ain't he here?
- 30:51Speaker 8: Why ain't he coming?
- 30:51Speaker 13: Oh, he's coming, all right. Give me that phone. Hey,
- 30:54Speaker 13: what's the idea, Ziggy? Why ain't you started yet? Well,
- 30:57Speaker 13: we got a hurricane here, too, so what? Now, look, look,
- 31:01Speaker 13: wait a minute. Keep quiet. Look, I make the run
- 31:04Speaker 13: from Cuba. I risk my neck and you won't come
- 31:07Speaker 13: out in the rain. I'll give you two hours to
- 31:08Speaker 13: get here. You ain't here by ten, the deal's off.
- 31:12Speaker 7: Hello?
- 31:13Speaker 6: Hello?
- 31:13Speaker 15: Hello?
- 31:14Speaker 8: Well?
- 31:16Speaker 13: Well, he's gone dead.
- 31:18Speaker 3: So what?
- 31:18Speaker 13: He heard what I had to say.
- 31:20Speaker 3: Gag.
- 31:21Speaker 13: Didn't I say no drinking?
- 31:22Speaker 5: Oh, please, honey, just one.
- 31:24Speaker 3: There are some people at the door, Mr.
- 31:26Speaker 5: Rocco. They want to come in. It's them Indians, boss.
- 31:30Speaker 5: Getting kind of blowy out there, I guess.
- 31:31Speaker 13: I'll send them away. Get rid of them.
- 31:32Speaker 9: No, you have no right.
- 31:34Speaker 5: Zoe has no right.
- 31:35Speaker 9: I'm going upstairs.
- 31:36Speaker 13: You're not going anywhere, honey. Well, Mr. McCloud, ain't you
- 31:41Speaker 13: got any conversation left?
- 31:42Speaker 1: I've said my piece. Yeah, you sure did, wise guy.
- 31:46Speaker 13: Well, let's talk about her, the lady on the barstool.
- 31:51Speaker 13: You know, one thing I can't stand is a dame
- 31:52Speaker 13: that's a drunk. What I mean is they tear my stomach.
- 31:55Speaker 13: No good to themselves or anybody else.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Drunk?
- 31:57Speaker 1: I haven't even had one drink.
- 31:59Speaker 13: She's got the shake, see? So she has a drink
- 32:01Speaker 13: to get rid of them. That one tastes so good,
- 32:03Speaker 13: she has another one.
- 32:04Speaker 5: You gave me my first drink, Johnny.
- 32:06Speaker 13: Oh, so it's all my fault now. Everybody has their
- 32:09Speaker 13: first drink, don't they? But everybody ain't a lush.
- 32:11Speaker 8: Oh, if I'd have known you were going to act
- 32:13Speaker 8: this way, I wouldn't have come here.
- 32:14Speaker 13: You know, eight years since I seen her, Pop. You
- 32:18Speaker 13: wouldn't know it was the same dame.
- 32:20Speaker 3: Gee, honey, you're as mean as can be.
- 32:23Speaker 13: Mean as can... Now, what does that remind me of?
- 32:26Speaker 8: Don't you remember, Johnny? In a song, she used to
- 32:28Speaker 8: sing it. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
- 32:31Speaker 5: Yeah, me too.
- 32:32Speaker 13: You know, I gave her a first chance. Took her
- 32:35Speaker 13: out of the chorus, made her a singer. Mention that
- 32:37Speaker 13: while you're at it.
- 32:37Speaker 8: Gee, Johnny, I didn't mean anything.
- 32:40Speaker 13: Yeah, she could have had a future.
- 32:42Speaker 8: That's right, she had everything.
- 32:43Speaker 13: Yeah, voice, looks, plenty of class.
- 32:46Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I was a rage. Gee, honey, I've never.
- 32:50Speaker 13: Now, look, uh, look, Gary. Why don't you give us
- 32:53Speaker 13: your old song?
- 32:54Speaker 5: Come on. You mean right now?
- 32:58Speaker 3: Yeah, now.
- 33:01Speaker 9: I can't.
- 33:02Speaker 13: Ah, sure you can't.
- 33:03Speaker 9: Please, Johnny, don't make me.
- 33:05Speaker 13: Now, look, if you were nice, if you sang your
- 33:07Speaker 13: song for us, you can have a drink.
- 33:10Speaker 9: Well, can I have the drink, please?
- 33:12Speaker 13: No, no, the song, then the drink.
- 33:15Speaker 9: Without any accompaniment?
- 33:16Speaker 13: Now, look, you want the drinker, don't you?
- 33:20Speaker 5: Okay, okay.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Well?
- 33:24Speaker 8: You should have seen me then, Miss Temple.
- 33:27Speaker 9: See, my gowns were gorgeous.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Only the best.
- 33:30Speaker 12: And yet, I hardly wore any makeup.
- 33:33Speaker 9: Just some lipstick, that's all. And no lights when I
- 33:36Speaker 9: came out.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Just a baby spot.
- 33:40Speaker 12: They'd play the intro in the dark, and then the
- 33:42Speaker 12: spot would come on, and there I'd be.
- 33:47Speaker 13: Well, uh, Go ahead. Go ahead now. Sing for the people, honey.
- 33:50Speaker 13: Keep quiet, everybody. Go ahead, Gay.
- 33:53Speaker 7: Sing.
- 33:57Speaker 3: Moaning low, my sweet man, I love him so.
- 34:02Speaker 5: Though he's mean as can be.
- 34:07Speaker 12: He's the kind of man, he's the kind of woman
- 34:11Speaker 12: like me.
- 34:15Speaker 3: Gonna die.
- 34:16Speaker 5: My sweet man.
- 34:18Speaker 3: Should pass me by.
- 34:20Speaker 8: If I die.
- 34:23Speaker 15: Johnny.
- 34:24Speaker 17: Johnny, the drink.
- 34:25Speaker 8: Give me the drink.
- 34:27Speaker 13: Now.
- 34:27Speaker 3: Johnny.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Now.
- 34:29Speaker 5: But you promised.
- 34:31Speaker 13: Now you were lousy. You couldn't even finish the number.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Here. Here's your drink.
- 34:38Speaker 5: Thanks, fella. Johnny.
- 34:42Speaker 3: Johnny.
- 34:43Speaker 5: Johnny, let him alone. No. Yeah, you're right.
- 34:45Speaker 3: Let him alone.
- 34:46Speaker 13: He ain't worth slapping around. Hey, old man. The storm.
- 34:52Speaker 13: How bad can it get? How bad?
- 34:54Speaker 3: Back in 35, 800 people washed out to sea.
- 34:58Speaker 18: Yeah?
- 34:59Speaker 13: Well, how far away was that from here?
- 35:01Speaker 5: Oh, a few miles.
- 35:03Speaker 9: Oh.
- 35:04Speaker 3: Yeah, well.
- 35:06Speaker 8: I want a drink.
- 35:07Speaker 13: Fix everybody a drink, Angel. Oh, everybody except her.
- 35:12Speaker 3: Frank.
- 35:13Speaker 9: I'm sorry about the things I said before.
- 35:15Speaker 1: Forget it, Nora.
- 35:16Speaker 9: You gave her a drink. He was ready to kill
- 35:18Speaker 9: you for that, but that made no difference. You had
- 35:21Speaker 9: to help her. Your head said one way, but your
- 35:24Speaker 9: whole life said another. The other thing. Maybe they're true.
- 35:30Speaker 9: Maybe it is a rotten world. But a cause isn't
- 35:33Speaker 9: lost as long as someone is willing to go on fighting.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Only I'm not that someone.
- 35:38Speaker 9: You may not want to be, but you can't help yourself.
- 35:40Speaker 1: What do you know about me?
- 35:42Speaker 9: A lot. From the way you look and talk. From
- 35:47Speaker 9: the things George wrote me.
- 35:49Speaker 13: Come on, come on, break it up over there, will you?
- 35:50Speaker 13: I don't like people whispering. Why is everybody so quiet? Well,
- 35:55Speaker 13: go on, talk, why don't you?
- 35:57Speaker 1: You, Curly, say something.
- 35:59Speaker 8: What do you want me to say, Johnny?
- 36:00Speaker 13: Anything, anything, just so it's tall. Go on, go ahead,
- 36:02Speaker 13: go ahead.
- 36:03Speaker 8: Well, I'll bet you two, three years we get prohibition back.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Yeah, go on, go on.
- 36:06Speaker 8: This time we make it stick.
- 36:07Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 36:08Speaker 13: I'll bet you two, three years prohibition comes back.
- 36:10Speaker 5: Absolutely, yeah.
- 36:10Speaker 13: I'll bet you.
- 36:11Speaker 17: The trouble was before, I mean, too many guys wanting
- 36:13Speaker 17: to be on top.
- 36:14Speaker 8: One mob gets to massacre the other.
- 36:15Speaker 5: The papers playing are big, big, see?
- 36:17Speaker 11: So what happens?
- 36:18Speaker 13: Look, look, Bob, I don't believe it. 800 guys getting
- 36:21Speaker 13: washed out at sea. You're a liar, old man.
- 36:23Speaker 5: 200 miles an hour that wind blew. The tidal wave,
- 36:26Speaker 5: 12 feet high, went right across the Keys.
- 36:28Speaker 3: For months afterwards, bodies were found in the mangrove swamps.
- 36:32Speaker 13: You don't like it, do you, Rocco?
- 36:34Speaker 3: The storm.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Show it's your gun, why don't you?
- 36:36Speaker 5: If it doesn't stop, shoot it.
- 36:37Speaker 8: So the public votes out prohibition and that's the end
- 36:40Speaker 8: of the mobs. Next time it'll be different, though we
- 36:42Speaker 8: learned our lesson all right. Next time the mobs will
- 36:44Speaker 8: all get together.
- 36:45Speaker 3: I'm asking God Almighty to make a peak wave now.
- 36:49Speaker 5: Now. Send it crashing down on us. Destroy us all
- 36:52Speaker 5: if need be, but punish him.
- 36:54Speaker 11: Shut up.
- 36:55Speaker 5: Papa, I'm warning you.
- 36:55Speaker 13: Shut up!
- 36:56Speaker 15: Hear me!
- 36:56Speaker 14: Hear me!
- 36:57Speaker 5: I'll kill you!
- 36:58Speaker 9: Mr.
- 36:58Speaker 6: Temple, don't.
- 36:59Speaker 8: He will shoot.
- 37:00Speaker 5: You don't have to stand in front of me. Let
- 37:02Speaker 5: him shoot me. Make a big wave, Lord. Send it
- 37:05Speaker 5: against us. Take us all, but destroy him.
- 37:11Speaker 13: I guess we both forgot, Mr.
- 37:13Speaker 3: Ruck.
- 37:13Speaker 8: Your gun, it's empty.
- 37:15Speaker 13: No, it ain't empty now.
- 37:17Speaker 5: I'm loading it. See, wise guy? Johnny, we'll all be
- 37:19Speaker 5: killed in this place. The storm is getting worse. It's
- 37:20Speaker 5: slowing down. The whole place is slowing down.
- 37:22Speaker 11: Outside, Johnny.
- 37:23Speaker 13: It's safe. Destroy him, Lord.
- 37:26Speaker 5: Destroy him.
- 37:29Speaker 18: We pause now for station identification.
- 37:40Speaker 1: This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.
- 38:03Speaker 4: In a moment, we'll present the third act of Key Largo.
- 38:07Speaker 4: I believe our guest tonight, Miss Debbie Reynolds, has established
- 38:11Speaker 4: a record. You must be the youngest starlet on the
- 38:14Speaker 4: Warner Brothers lot, Debbie.
- 38:15Speaker 19: Well, I'm 17, Mr.
- 38:16Speaker 3: Keeley.
- 38:17Speaker 19: And I was lucky enough to be signed even before
- 38:19Speaker 19: I graduated from high school.
- 38:20Speaker 5: Wonderful. Had time to catch your breath yet?
- 38:23Speaker 1: Not quite, Mr.
- 38:23Speaker 5: Keeley.
- 38:24Speaker 9: There's so much to learn.
- 38:26Speaker 19: I never miss a studio showing of a new picture.
- 38:28Speaker 19: One that especially impressed me was The Hasty Heart.
- 38:31Speaker 4: Ah, yes, a most unusual story starring Ronald Reagan and
- 38:34Speaker 4: Patricia Neal.
- 38:35Speaker 8: That's right, Mr.
- 38:36Speaker 5: Keeley.
- 38:37Speaker 19: And in addition, there's Richard Todd, the new British actor.
- 38:40Speaker 19: I'm perfectly sure he's going to make a hit over here.
- 38:42Speaker 4: And moviegoers will applaud Patricia Neal as an army nurse.
- 38:46Speaker 4: You know, she plays a role with great charm and conviction.
- 38:49Speaker 9: Isn't she lovely?
- 38:50Speaker 19: Ronald Regan is the American soldier who falls in love
- 38:53Speaker 19: with her.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Well, now, Debbie, who could blame him? She's mighty easy
- 38:56Speaker 1: on the eyes.
- 38:57Speaker 19: Oh, yes, a gorgeous blonde. And in her nurse's uniform,
- 39:00Speaker 19: she's simply dreamy. What a complexion.
- 39:03Speaker 9: She's a luxe girl, Mr.
- 39:04Speaker 13: Kennedy.
- 39:04Speaker 19: Never neglects her daily luxe soap facials.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Like most screen stars, she knows it's a care she
- 39:09Speaker 2: can depend on.
- 39:11Speaker 1: A gentle, protecting care that's right for delicate skin.
- 39:14Speaker 19: Well, it certainly works for me... It's a real beauty soap,
- 39:17Speaker 19: and I'd like to recommend Luxe Soap Care to any
- 39:20Speaker 19: girl who wants a nicer complexion.
- 39:22Speaker 2: Thank you, Miss Debbie Reynolds, for that very sound beauty hint.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Nine out of ten screen stars, you know, use Luxe
- 39:28Speaker 2: Toilet Soap for daily... complexion care. Try it for your
- 39:32Speaker 2: precious complexion soon. You'll discover that this fine white soap
- 39:36Speaker 2: with the delicate fragrance really makes skin lovelier.
- 39:42Speaker 1: Here's our producer, Mr. William Keeley.
- 39:44Speaker 4: The curtain rises on the third act of Key Largo,
- 39:47Speaker 4: starring Edward G. Robinson as Johnny Rocco, Claire Trevor as Gay,
- 39:52Speaker 4: and Edmund O'Brien as Frank. On Key Largo, the little
- 40:04Speaker 4: hotel still stands. It's weathered another hurricane, and now the
- 40:09Speaker 4: storm is passing out to sea. It's nearly 10 o'clock.
- 40:13Speaker 4: In the lobby, Johnny Rocco stands before a window, peering
- 40:17Speaker 4: out into the night.
- 40:20Speaker 13: I don't mind telling you, Pop, that storm had me
- 40:22Speaker 13: a little scared there for a while.
- 40:24Speaker 3: I'm sorry it's gone. I'm sorry you're still alive.
- 40:28Speaker 13: Well, keep praying, Pop. Maybe something will happen.
- 40:30Speaker 8: You think Ziggy's going to show up?
- 40:32Speaker 13: Sure, sure.
- 40:33Speaker 9: We'll get out of here then, won't we, honey?
- 40:35Speaker 5: I'm all packed.
- 40:36Speaker 12: I'm ready to leave any time.
- 40:37Speaker 13: Well, let's get upstairs, Curly. We'll get the stuff ready
- 40:39Speaker 13: for when Ziggy gets here. Oh, Angel, stay there, will you?
- 40:42Speaker 11: Watch him.
- 40:42Speaker 3: Yeah, sure.
- 40:44Speaker 9: You'll be leaving too, Frank?
- 40:46Speaker 1: Yes, I guess so.
- 40:48Speaker 9: Will we ever see you again?
- 40:49Speaker 1: Well, I hope so.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Well, why don't you stay right on here with us?
- 40:53Speaker 3: You're most welcome. Go on, tell them the way you
- 40:55Speaker 3: tell them.
- 40:57Speaker 9: Have you any folks?
- 40:58Speaker 3: No. I'd be proud to have you regard us as
- 41:01Speaker 3: your family.
- 41:02Speaker 9: Maybe that isn't what Frank wants to have.
- 41:04Speaker 5: Maybe.
- 41:04Speaker 8: Hey, boss!
- 41:05Speaker 5: Boss! Hey, where is he?
- 41:07Speaker 3: Upstairs.
- 41:08Speaker 13: What's the matter?
- 41:09Speaker 5: Hey, the boat's gone.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Not a sign of it.
- 41:10Speaker 3: Good God, huh?
- 41:12Speaker 13: How are you doing it? And Skipper. I told him
- 41:16Speaker 13: I'd kill him, but he took the boat anyway, just
- 41:17Speaker 13: the same. Hey, what's the joke? No boat.
- 41:21Speaker 5: It strikes me funny.
- 41:23Speaker 13: Well, there is a boat. All ready for us now
- 41:26Speaker 13: to the dock. Pop, we're going to borrow your boat.
- 41:29Speaker 3: Who's going to run it for you? Answer me that.
- 41:31Speaker 5: That's right, Johnny.
- 41:32Speaker 13: We don't know nothing about boats. He's going to run it.
- 41:35Speaker 13: The soldier. The wise guy. He knows about boats, don't you?
- 41:39Speaker 3: Yeah, some.
- 41:40Speaker 8: His first sweetheart was a boat. I heard him tell her.
- 41:43Speaker 13: Why are you taking us to Cuba?
- 41:45Speaker 1: Why should I?
- 41:45Speaker 13: Because you know it'll happen to you if you don't. Besides,
- 41:49Speaker 13: one Rocco more or less ain't worth dying for. Ain't
- 41:51Speaker 13: that what you said?
- 41:52Speaker 11: Hey, boss, it's the law, boss.
- 41:54Speaker 3: Sheriff.
- 41:55Speaker 13: Okay, one wrong word out of anybody and he gets
- 41:57Speaker 13: it now.
- 41:57Speaker 5: Mr.
- 41:58Speaker 13: Temple, Mr.
- 41:59Speaker 3: Temple.
- 41:59Speaker 13: You understand me, old man? All right, sister.
- 42:02Speaker 3: Let him in.
- 42:04Speaker 9: Just a minute, Mr.
- 42:04Speaker 5: Wade.
- 42:06Speaker 3: Evening, miss.
- 42:07Speaker 7: I'm looking for Clyde Sawyer.
- 42:10Speaker 9: He's not here.
- 42:12Speaker 7: Been here?
- 42:12Speaker 5: No.
- 42:14Speaker 9: Not tonight.
- 42:14Speaker 14: That's funny. Put in a call for me from here
- 42:17Speaker 14: about 7 o'clock. Good evening, Temple, folks. Pretty good blow, huh? Yeah,
- 42:22Speaker 14: a regular hurricane.
- 42:24Speaker 13: How's the road?
- 42:25Speaker 7: Impassable. I'm trying to find my deputy. By the way,
- 42:29Speaker 7: on the telephone, who answered?
- 42:31Speaker 8: Nobody was around, so I answered.
- 42:32Speaker 1: I guess Mr.
- 42:33Speaker 8: Sawyer must have got stalled along the road.
- 42:36Speaker 7: Seen anything of the Indians, Mr. Temple, those Osceola brothers?
- 42:40Speaker 3: No.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Sheriff!
- 42:43Speaker 13: Shut up, you dog!
- 42:45Speaker 7: Doggy, I guess the storm upset him some.
- 42:47Speaker 13: I don't mind saying it had us all a little upset.
- 42:50Speaker 7: That's funny.
- 42:52Speaker 1: Sheriff!
- 42:53Speaker 7: He's found something out there. I know that bark.
- 42:57Speaker 13: You got a flashlight? Let's see what it is.
- 42:59Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, he's found something, all right.
- 43:00Speaker 13: Let's go. That's some dog he's got, Mr.
- 43:09Speaker 7: Temple.
- 43:10Speaker 13: He found something, all right.
- 43:12Speaker 7: A dead man. It was him, Temple Clyde. He'd been murdered.
- 43:16Speaker 13: Well, uh, I don't like to say anything, Sheriff. After all,
- 43:19Speaker 13: it's not my business, but, uh, those, uh, those Indians
- 43:23Speaker 13: you were talking about, they were here before.
- 43:25Speaker 7: The Anciolas?
- 43:26Speaker 13: Yeah, they were out there all during the storm. Left
- 43:29Speaker 13: only a few minutes ago.
- 43:30Speaker 7: I'll get them. I'll get them Indians if it's their
- 43:32Speaker 7: last thing I do.
- 43:32Speaker 5: No, Ben, no! You lied to me, Temple. Your Indians
- 43:35Speaker 5: murdered Clyde Sawyer.
- 43:36Speaker 8: Watch yourselves, all of you. One peep and I shoot.
- 43:50Speaker 7: You said you hadn't seen the Osceola's.
- 43:52Speaker 5: You lied, didn't you?
- 43:52Speaker 3: Not bad.
- 43:53Speaker 7: They murdered Clyde.
- 43:54Speaker 14: The minions thought they could hide his body, but the
- 43:56Speaker 14: storm tore it loose and threw it up right out there,
- 43:58Speaker 14: right in front of your door.
- 44:00Speaker 7: And that's where the crime belongs, right at your door.
- 44:02Speaker 3: Ben, they're shooting just now.
- 44:04Speaker 1: They're trying to get away.
- 44:04Speaker 7: Kill them both.
- 44:05Speaker 19: Kill them.
- 44:06Speaker 7: You, what's your name?
- 44:07Speaker 3: Kill them? Me?
- 44:09Speaker 13: Howard Brown.
- 44:11Speaker 7: Address?
- 44:12Speaker 13: Hotel Central, Milwaukee. Haven't I seen you someplace before? No,
- 44:17Speaker 13: I don't think so. Oh, these other men, they're friends
- 44:20Speaker 13: of mine. We're all here from Milwaukee, Sheriff. Deep-sea fishing.
- 44:25Speaker 13: See that you all stay here. I'll be back in
- 44:27Speaker 13: the morning. You did a great job, didn't you, hiding
- 44:30Speaker 13: that body?
- 44:31Speaker 5: Boss, how did I know the storm would.
- 44:32Speaker 3: Now, shut up. Ziggy.
- 44:36Speaker 13: If Ziggy don't come.
- 44:36Speaker 5: Now, we're... Ziggy's here, boss. Him and his boys, they're here.
- 44:39Speaker 13: What are you talking about?
- 44:40Speaker 8: They drove up in the back while the sheriff was
- 44:41Speaker 8: out hunting Indians.
- 44:43Speaker 13: That Ziggy. Ziggy. All right, Pop, you and the soldier
- 44:46Speaker 13: boy and the dame inside. Get in your office. Come on,
- 44:49Speaker 13: you too, Gay.
- 44:49Speaker 8: No, but.
- 44:50Speaker 13: I said inside. Angel, you stay with him. I don't
- 44:53Speaker 13: want no more trouble. All right, bring him in, Curly.
- 44:56Speaker 13: Ziggy and his mob, bring him in.
- 45:01Speaker 5: Well, look at him. Ziggy. Well, well, well, well.
- 45:07Speaker 13: You sure are a sight for sore eyes.
- 45:09Speaker 8: Sure great to see you again, Johnny pal.
- 45:12Speaker 13: Hey, put on a little weight, huh? Now, look who's talking. Hey,
- 45:16Speaker 13: guess who's here.
- 45:17Speaker 9: Huh?
- 45:18Speaker 8: The blonde.
- 45:19Speaker 7: Remember?
- 45:20Speaker 13: Gay. Gay Dawn.
- 45:21Speaker 9: Gay?
- 45:22Speaker 3: Here?
- 45:22Speaker 13: Oh, you think I'm kidding?
- 45:24Speaker 5: Gay. Come on.
- 45:26Speaker 3: Come on.
- 45:26Speaker 13: Get in here.
- 45:29Speaker 5: Hey, you're pretty as ever.
- 45:32Speaker 8: Where you been, honey, all the time Johnny was away?
- 45:34Speaker 3: All around.
- 45:35Speaker 8: If I'd have known that, I'd have tried to beat
- 45:37Speaker 8: Johnny's time.
- 45:38Speaker 13: Yeah, the same old Ziggy.
- 45:41Speaker 1: All right, baby, all right.
- 45:42Speaker 13: Come on, step aside. Why don't you go over there
- 45:44Speaker 13: and fix yourself a drink?
- 45:45Speaker 3: A drink? Yeah.
- 45:47Speaker 9: No, I don't think so.
- 45:49Speaker 13: Well, Ziggy, the stuff's all here in the suitcase.
- 45:51Speaker 7: Open up.
- 45:52Speaker 5: Let's see it.
- 45:52Speaker 3: Hey, Lou, Lou, come here.
- 45:55Speaker 1: Who's he?
- 45:55Speaker 8: Lou, just about the best expert there is on counterfeit dough.
- 45:59Speaker 3: Take a look, Lou.
- 46:01Speaker 13: The paper feels good. The lathe works okay. Portrait's good.
- 46:05Speaker 13: No breaks in the lines.
- 46:07Speaker 5: Serial numbers check out?
- 46:09Speaker 13: What do you think, I'm an amateur? That cover's okay, Ziggy.
- 46:12Speaker 13: Looks like high-class merchandise.
- 46:13Speaker 3: Okay, huh? So far, yeah.
- 46:15Speaker 5: Now bring out the engraving. Now wait a minute.
- 46:16Speaker 13: Now just don't stall, Ziggy, will you? I'm kind of
- 46:19Speaker 13: in a hurry.
- 46:20Speaker 8: We don't have much time, Mr.
- 46:21Speaker 5: McCloud. They'll be leaving soon. What are you going to do?
- 46:25Speaker 1: Not much choice, is there? I'll run the boat for them.
- 46:27Speaker 5: Oh, no. No, don't.
- 46:29Speaker 9: Don't go with us. They'd wait till you got inside
- 46:32Speaker 9: of Cuba, and then they'd kill you. She's right, Frank.
- 46:34Speaker 9: Tell them you'll go. Then when you get outside in
- 46:35Speaker 9: the dark, make a break.
- 46:36Speaker 5: Run.
- 46:36Speaker 1: Try to get away.
- 46:37Speaker 9: Yeah, it's your only chance, fella.
- 46:38Speaker 12: Out there in the dark, make a break.
- 46:40Speaker 8: Run.
- 46:41Speaker 1: That's what my head says.
- 46:42Speaker 5: He ain't gonna make a fight of us.
- 46:44Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 46:45Speaker 6: Not that one Rocco, more or less, makes any difference.
- 46:48Speaker 6: What I said still goes. But it's just that I.
- 46:50Speaker 14: They'll kill you.
- 46:51Speaker 3: If a man's a fighter, he can't walk away from
- 46:54Speaker 3: a fight... That's the answer, I guess. I know how
- 46:56Speaker 3: he feels.
- 46:57Speaker 13: Oh, listen, they're leaving.
- 46:58Speaker 9: They made their deal.
- 46:59Speaker 8: Yeah, well, we just wait now and see what happens.
- 47:04Speaker 13: Hey, you, McCloud. Come in here. All of you, come
- 47:09Speaker 13: in here.
- 47:09Speaker 1: Your friends leave?
- 47:10Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 47:12Speaker 13: Are you coming with a soldier, yes or no? I'm
- 47:14Speaker 13: in a hurry.
- 47:15Speaker 1: You win, Mr. Rocco.
- 47:16Speaker 13: Yeah, I thought you'd change your mind. Well, Nora, want
- 47:20Speaker 13: to come along, sister? Want to come along?
- 47:24Speaker 8: Where are my things, Johnny?
- 47:25Speaker 9: I better get my things.
- 47:26Speaker 13: Oh, I forgot to tell you. You're not coming.
- 47:29Speaker 8: Johnny.
- 47:30Speaker 13: Not go with me, will you? Get off me.
- 47:32Speaker 9: No, please take me with you.
- 47:34Speaker 8: You got to, Johnny.
- 47:35Speaker 5: You got to.
- 47:36Speaker 9: Oh, please, I'll stop drinking.
- 47:38Speaker 13: Get out of my way.
- 47:39Speaker 9: I'll kill myself, I will.
- 47:41Speaker 5: Johnny, please. Please listen.
- 47:43Speaker 9: I'll be good like I was before. I won't let
- 47:45Speaker 9: you go without me.
- 47:46Speaker 5: You've got to take me with you.
- 47:48Speaker 9: You've got to.
- 47:48Speaker 8: Johnny, we're wasting time.
- 47:50Speaker 13: Get away from me. Now, stay close to the soldier,
- 47:52Speaker 13: will you? If he tries anything, let him have it good.
- 47:55Speaker 13: So long, old man. Next time you have a hurricane,
- 47:58Speaker 13: think of Johnny Rock.
- 47:59Speaker 1: Frank.
- 48:00Speaker 9: Goodbye, Frank.
- 48:01Speaker 5: Good luck, son.
- 48:02Speaker 1: Thanks.
- 48:03Speaker 5: Johnny! They're on the dock.
- 48:11Speaker 3: I can see them. He's starting to motor.
- 48:14Speaker 8: He'll make his break now.
- 48:15Speaker 9: He'll run away.
- 48:17Speaker 1: He's got a gun now.
- 48:18Speaker 13: He'll be able to.
- 48:19Speaker 9: Gun?
- 48:19Speaker 3: What gun? Yeah, Rocco's.
- 48:20Speaker 19: I took Rocco's gun and gave it to him.
- 48:22Speaker 9: You?
- 48:22Speaker 3: Yeah, why doesn't he run?
- 48:24Speaker 5: Run, fella. Run!
- 48:27Speaker 8: Why doesn't he run?
- 48:28Speaker 9: He's in the boat. They're casting off. He had his
- 48:30Speaker 9: chance to run. His only chance.
- 48:33Speaker 13: And he didn't take it.
- 48:39Speaker 11: No answer.
- 48:40Speaker 9: The phone's still dead. I'll take the car, Dad. I'll
- 48:42Speaker 9: drive to Palm Grove, the Coast Guard station.
- 48:45Speaker 3: Yeah, Coast Guard.
- 48:46Speaker 9: I'll hurry. I'll be back as soon as I can.
- 48:57Speaker 8: How we doing, McLeod?
- 48:58Speaker 1: We're on our course. We're close to it.
- 49:00Speaker 8: Just see that you keep us that way. Hey, Toots,
- 49:03Speaker 8: how you feeling?
- 49:06Speaker 5: I told you I could never stay on the boat.
- 49:07Speaker 7: I can't.
- 49:09Speaker 5: Feel awful, all this bouncing up and down.
- 49:11Speaker 8: There's a bed down there.
- 49:12Speaker 1: Yeah, it's too hot down there.
- 49:15Speaker 8: Hey, what time is it?
- 49:16Speaker 5: A little after four.
- 49:17Speaker 1: Not halfway there yet.
- 49:18Speaker 8: Watch McCloud if he tries anything, shoot.
- 49:25Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, sure.
- 49:28Speaker 13: Boy, I must have had a little nap. Everything all
- 49:33Speaker 13: right up there, Curly?
- 49:34Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 49:35Speaker 8: What's the matter with Angel?
- 49:37Speaker 13: Oh, she's sleeping. He'll take over for Tuts every while.
- 49:40Speaker 13: You know, they've been talking about us on the radio
- 49:44Speaker 13: just now. They got boats out looking for us. Coast guards.
- 49:49Speaker 8: We got too much of a start for them.
- 49:50Speaker 13: Yeah, a fog like this, they couldn't find a Queen Mary.
- 49:54Speaker 13: Got some cards? Let's kill a little time.
- 50:01Speaker 14: Hey, you, Tuts.
- 50:02Speaker 5: What do you want? Are you trying anything at all?
- 50:04Speaker 1: Take a look over to Stern.
- 50:06Speaker 8: See if we picked up any kelp.
- 50:08Speaker 5: Any what?
- 50:09Speaker 9: Seaweed.
- 50:09Speaker 1: You can foul up the shaft. You better look.
- 50:12Speaker 3: Okay. No.
- 50:14Speaker 1: No, I don't see any.
- 50:15Speaker 5: Help! Help! What's the matter?
- 50:20Speaker 1: What's going on up there?
- 50:21Speaker 5: Your friend, he fell overboard.
- 50:22Speaker 3: You did it when.
- 50:23Speaker 5: You revved the motors just now.
- 50:25Speaker 8: Yeah, when you swung the wheel, you made him fall over. Johnny!
- 50:27Speaker 8: I got a gun. Stay where you are, Curly.
- 50:31Speaker 15: Johnny!
- 50:32Speaker 5: Watch it. He's got a gun.
- 50:33Speaker 13: Oh, Curly. Curly, what's the matter?
- 50:37Speaker 3: Curly!
- 50:40Speaker 5: He don't answer. Nobody answers. Toots and Curly.
- 50:42Speaker 11: Curly!
- 50:43Speaker 5: The steps, Johnny. Blood coming down steps.
- 50:47Speaker 13: Well, it's him, McCloud. The soldier. Curly killed him. Come on, now.
- 50:51Speaker 3: Go up there.
- 50:52Speaker 13: Get up there and see. Well, don't you hear me?
- 50:54Speaker 13: I'll get killed. You gonna go up there, are you?
- 50:56Speaker 13: There's nothing to be afraid of. Curly shot him. He's dead.
- 50:59Speaker 5: Then you go, Johnny. You go up.
- 51:02Speaker 13: Nobody tells me what to do.
- 51:03Speaker 3: Nobody. Johnny.
- 51:05Speaker 1: Johnny. Hey, soldier.
- 51:08Speaker 3: Johnny.
- 51:10Speaker 13: I told you to listen to me. I know you're
- 51:12Speaker 13: up there. Say something. Curly's dead, huh? Well, I saw
- 51:20Speaker 13: his angel. Just me now. Me down here and you
- 51:23Speaker 13: up there. From now on, we'll be partners. Everything will
- 51:26Speaker 13: be 50-50. I got a hundred grand out here. A
- 51:29Speaker 13: hundred grand. Well, what do you say? Can you hear me?
- 51:34Speaker 13: What do you say? Yeah, I know what you're thinking.
- 51:40Speaker 13: You'll get rid of me and have all the money
- 51:41Speaker 13: for yourself. Is that it?
- 51:42Speaker 9: Is it?
- 51:44Speaker 13: Well, suppose I say the money is yours. Yeah, I'll
- 51:47Speaker 13: toss up the suitcase. I'll throw it up there on deck.
- 51:52Speaker 5: Now, do you believe me?
- 51:54Speaker 13: It's yours. And plenty more when we get to Cuba.
- 51:57Speaker 3: Do you hear me?
- 51:58Speaker 13: I'll make you rich.
- 52:00Speaker 5: Soldier.
- 52:02Speaker 9: Soldier.
- 52:06Speaker 13: You're not big enough to do.
- 52:07Speaker 5: This to Rocco. I'll kill you. You'll never bring me here.
- 52:11Speaker 10: Never.
- 52:15Speaker 1: Now, look.
- 52:16Speaker 11: Look, soldier, look.
- 52:18Speaker 13: I know what it is. Yeah, you figure that I
- 52:21Speaker 13: got Angel's gun that you can't trust me, right?
- 52:24Speaker 3: Okay.
- 52:25Speaker 13: I'll throw the gun up there, too.
- 52:27Speaker 1: There.
- 52:29Speaker 13: There's the gun. The money in my gun.
- 52:32Speaker 5: Now, what else have I got?
- 52:35Speaker 13: I'm leveling with you, soldier.
- 52:36Speaker 3: Soldier?
- 52:38Speaker 13: Okay, you believe me now? Look, I'm... I'm coming up.
- 52:47Speaker 13: I got no gunning. I'm coming up. Where are you?
- 52:58Speaker 13: Dark up here.
- 52:59Speaker 5: Get back to the stern, Rocco.
- 53:01Speaker 13: Nobody gives me orders.
- 53:03Speaker 5: Some wise guy, huh?
- 53:04Speaker 13: That was the deputy's gun I threw away.
- 53:05Speaker 3: You don't think I.
- 53:14Speaker 11: Go ahead, Santana. We lost you. Come in, please. We
- 53:17Speaker 11: lost your signal. Come in, please. Over.
- 53:19Speaker 1: Sorry. I was calling Coast Guard.
- 53:23Speaker 11: This is the Coast Guard. Please identify yourself.
- 53:25Speaker 9: Over.
- 53:26Speaker 1: My name is Frank McCloud.
- 53:28Speaker 8: I'm about 12 miles off Boot Key Harbor on my
- 53:31Speaker 8: way in.
- 53:33Speaker 5: Over.
- 53:34Speaker 11: Are you all right? Are you all right? Over.
- 53:37Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. But I'll need medical attention.
- 53:42Speaker 9: Over.
- 53:43Speaker 11: Continue on course. Stand by on this frequency.
- 53:46Speaker 1: I'm standing by.
- 53:48Speaker 8: Will you put me through to the Largo Hotel?
- 53:51Speaker 11: Stand by, Santana. We'll try to put you through.
- 53:54Speaker 5: No sign of them, Ben.
- 54:00Speaker 3: No sign of him at all?
- 54:02Speaker 7: I checked the coast guard ten minutes ago. Nothing yet, Mr.
- 54:04Speaker 13: Temple.
- 54:06Speaker 7: I have to take you in, Miss Dawn.
- 54:09Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 54:09Speaker 13: Yeah, sure.
- 54:10Speaker 3: Take me in. They all get away, huh, Ben? Sawyer dead,
- 54:14Speaker 3: those poor Indians dead, McCloud as good as dead, but
- 54:19Speaker 3: Rocco and his gang get away. You get one woman
- 54:22Speaker 3: who didn't have anything to do with it.
- 54:24Speaker 9: They didn't all get away, Dad. The state police picked
- 54:27Speaker 9: up that man they call Ziggy.
- 54:28Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh.
- 54:29Speaker 7: They want all of you to identify him.
- 54:32Speaker 3: Mr.
- 54:32Speaker 14: Temple, I'm mighty grateful to you for saving my life
- 54:35Speaker 14: and all, but those two boys, the Osceola's, well, I'd
- 54:40Speaker 14: rather been killed than have innocent blood.
- 54:42Speaker 3: On my hands. I'm the one to blame. If they
- 54:46Speaker 3: hadn't trusted me, they wouldn't have turned up here. They'd
- 54:50Speaker 3: still be alive.
- 54:52Speaker 5: Oh, no, Mr.
- 54:53Speaker 9: Temple, it wasn't you. It wasn't the law or anybody.
- 54:58Speaker 9: It was only Johnny Rocco.
- 55:01Speaker 12: Nobody in the whole world is safe as long as
- 55:03Speaker 12: he's alive.
- 55:05Speaker 7: We better go, miss.
- 55:08Speaker 9: I'll take it, Dad. Hotel Largo.
- 55:12Speaker 11: Yes?
- 55:13Speaker 9: It's the Coast Guard. Yes?
- 55:16Speaker 5: Yes, I'll hold on.
- 55:19Speaker 9: Frank!
- 55:20Speaker 7: Oh, thank God.
- 55:22Speaker 1: Yes.
- 55:24Speaker 5: Yes, Frank.
- 55:26Speaker 9: Yes, we'll be waiting.
- 55:27Speaker 5: Nora....
- 55:29Speaker 9: He's all right, Dad. He's coming back to us.
- 55:44Speaker 4: The curtain falls on Key Largo, and the spotlight turns
- 55:48Speaker 4: to our stars as you meet them in person.
- 55:51Speaker 5: Edward G.
- 55:51Speaker 4: Robinson, Claire Trevor, and Edmund O'Brien. Claire, it's easy to
- 55:56Speaker 4: understand how your performance in Key Largo won you an
- 55:59Speaker 4: Academy Award.
- 56:00Speaker 8: Well, thank you, Bill.
- 56:02Speaker 12: And speaking of awards, Eddie Robinson won a very important
- 56:05Speaker 12: one in Europe recently, the famous World Award for Acting,
