Kitty:
I'm taking my life in my hands coming to you like this, but I just couldn't stand by, not after what you did for me that time in Philly.

Swede:
Forget that. Why are you here now?

Kitty:
Colfax thinks I'm on my way to New York. He's meeting me there tomorrow. But I just had to come to you, Swede, and tell you.

Swede:
Tell me what?

Kitty:
They're planning to double-cross you.

Swede:
Who is?

Kitty:
Colfax and the others. They don't intend for you ever to get a smell of the money from tomorrow's job.

Swede:
How do you know that?

Kitty:
Colfax sprung it tonight on Dum Dum and Blinky right after you left. First, he called you names and said dirty things about you. And then he sprung it. What if they were not to go to the half-way house after the robbery? You'd go there, but they'd be someplace else, and so would the money.

Swede:
What did Blinky and Dum Dum say?

Kitty:
They fell right in with the idea.

Swede:
Where are they gonna meet?

Kitty:
The farmhouse north of town on Polk Road, eleven miles out on the turnpike. Colfax hates you, Swede, so much so that Blinky and Dum Dum have caught it from him and they hate you too.

Swede:
Thanks for putting me wise, Kitty.

Kitty:
What are you gonna do? Swede - what are you gonna do?

Swede:
I'm gonna do them like they mean to do me.

Kitty:
Promise me one thing. You won't give me away. If Colfax ever found out what I did...

Swede:
Don't you worry.

Kitty:
You know why Colfax hates you? Because of me. He's no fool. He sees what's happened.

Swede:
Why did you ever go back to him, Kitty?

Kitty:
Maybe because I hate him. I'm poison, Swede, to myself and everybody around me. I'd be afraid to go with anyone I love for the harm I'd do them. I don't care harming him.

Swede:
[He pulls Kitty into his arms] You're not meetin' him tomorrow.

Kitty:
All right, Swede. [They embrace and kiss passionately]
