a subpoena.
The guys know
you're not a cheese-eater...
...but they think you shouldn't be
on the outside so much.
Have a few things working for you
down at the docks.
A steady job,
a couple extra potatoes.
- That's all I want.
- That's great when you're a kid...
...but you're pushing 30.
It's time to think
about getting some ambition.
I always figured I'd live a little bit
longer without it.
Maybe.
Look.
There's a boss-loader slot open
on the new pier we're opening up.
Now, it pays 6 cents...
...on every 100 pounds
that goes in and out...
...and you don't have to lift a finger.
That's 2, 3, $400 a week.
Four hundred dollars a week
just for the openers.
I get all that for not doing nothing.
You don't do anything
and you don't say anything.
You understand?
There's more to this
than I thought, Charley.
I'm telling you, there's a lot more.
You're thinking of testifying against
some people we might know?
I don't know, Charley.
I'm telling you I don't know.
That's what I wanna talk to you about.
You know how much those piers
are worth that we control?
- I know.
- You think Johnny'll jeopardize it...
...for one rubber-lipped ex-tanker
who's on his heels?
- Don't say that!
- What the...?
- That's not the point.
- I could have been a lot better.
The point is,
we don't have much time!
I haven't made up my mind yet.
Make up your mind before we get
to 437 River Street.
Before we get to where, Charley?
- Before we get to where?
- Listen to me.
Take the job! Just take it!
No questions. Take it!
Terry, take this job. Please.
Charley.
Please take it.
Charley.
Oh, Charley.
Look, kid, I...
Look, kid...
How much do you weigh, slugger?
When you weighed 168 pounds...
...you were beautiful.
You could have been
another Billy Conn.
That skunk we got you
for a manager...
...he brought you along too fast.
It wasn't him, Charley. It was you.
Remember that night in the Garden,
you came and said:
"Kid, this ain't your night.
We're going for the price
on Wilson."
You remember that?
"This ain't your night."
My night. I could have
taken Wilson apart.
So, what happens? He gets
the title shot in the ballpark.
And what do I get?
A one-way ticket to Palookaville.
You was my brother, Charley.
You should have looked out
for me a little bit.
You should have taken care of me...
...so I didn't have to take dives
for the short-end money.
I had some bets down for you.
You saw some money.
You don't understand!
I could have had class!
I could have been a contender.
I could have been somebody...
...instead of a bum,
which is what I am. Let's face it.
It was you, Charley.
Okay.
Okay.
I'll tell him...
...I couldn't find you.
Ten-to-1 he won't believe it.
Here.
You take this.
You're gonna need it.
You, pull over!
Take me to the Garden.
Edie?
Edie?
Stay away from me!
Edie?
Come on, please open the door!
Please!
Stop it!
- I want you to stay away from me.
- I know what you want me to do...
...but I ain't gonna, so forget it!
I don't want you to do anything.
Let your conscience
tell you what to do.
Shut up about that conscience!
That's all I been hearing!
I never mentioned it before.
You stay away from me!
Edie, you love me.
I didn't say I didn't love you.
I said, stay away from me!
- I want you to say it!
- Stay away from me!
Hey, Terry!
Hey, Terry, your brother's down here!
He wants to see you!
Charley.
Hey, Terry.
Hey, Terry!
Your brother's down here.
Come on down here!
He wants to see you.
Terry!
Come on down!
- What is it?
- Charley. I think he's in trouble.
Be careful!
- Charley?
- Terry?
Hey, Terry!
Your brother's down here!
You hear what I hear?
Terry! Terry!
Terry!
That's the same way they
called Andy the night I lost him.
Edie, be careful! Edie, be careful!
Terry!
Terry!
Edie! Watch out for the truck!
Terry.
They got Charley.
I'm frightened.
Let's get out of here, please.
First Joey, then Dugan.
And now
