The Big Shakedown

Dutch Barnes:
Lefty, what's our racket?

Lefty:
Beer!

Dutch Barnes:
Beer, huh, you're five minutes late. We're going into the drug business.

Lefty:
Not me. I got a brother doing twenty years for going into the drug business and all they found on him was two decks of coke.

Mae LaRue:
[Bursting in on Dutch and Lil in Dutch's office] I told you he was in! [Sizing up the situation] Hello, lover.

Dutch Barnes:
[Straightening his tie nervously] Hello, Mae.

Lily 'Lil' Duran:
Hello Mae? You bet he's in; he's in my hair. [turning to Dutch] Why you double-crossing, two-timing slug. So that's why you want to send me to Europe, huh?

Dutch Barnes:
Now wait a minute, honey, wait a minute.

Lily 'Lil' Duran:
Oh, wait a minute - breezin' me off so you can play post office with this queen. What gutter'dja pick her out of?

Mae LaRue:
[Doing a Mae West hand-on-hip hair fluff] I don't believe I know you.

Lily 'Lil' Duran:
[Kicking her in the rump] Well how's this for an introduction?

Mae LaRue:
Why I'll knock your head off and throw it right in... [They start to wrestle]

Lily 'Lil' Duran:
You and what army? [They continue fighting and hair-pulling and yelling at each other. After thirty seconds or so, Dutch intervenes]

Dutch Barnes:
[Pushing the women apart] Now listen, you two dames. What's the matter with ya?

Lefty:
[to Slim] Get Jimmy. [Lefty and Dutch go into the next room and close the door]

Dutch Barnes:
[to Lefty] *There's* a couplea phone numbers for the ashcan!

Lefty:
Maybe we'd better go in for nail files. [as a next line of business]

Dutch Barnes:
Shut up. Where's Jimmy?

Lefty:
Slim's sending him in.

Jimmy Morrell:
[Entering] Mr. Barnes, what's happened?

Dutch Barnes:
My tomatoes blew up.
