seated, please.
Is it true that the night
Joey Doyle was found dead...
you were the last one to see him
before he was pushed from the roof?
Yes. That's right.
- And it is true...
- Except for the guys that pushed him!
Is it true you went immediately
to the Friendly bar...
and there expressed your feelings
to Mr. Johnny Friendly?
John Friendly. Right!
Can you tell me whether Mr. Friendly,
or I should say, Mr. Skelly...
said anything to indicate
his responsibility in this?
- Right.
- Would you say...
that he made it
very clear to you...
that it was absolutely necessary
he murderJoey Doyle...
to maintain his control?
- Turn that thing off!
- Is that correct?
Anything else, sir?
Yes. If Mr. Friendly calls,
I'm out.
- Any time today?
- If he calls ever, I'm out!
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
You've done more
than break theJoey Doyle case.
You're making it possible
for honest men to work the docks...
with job security
and peace of mind!
You may step down now.
That's all for now.
Mr. MichaelJ. Skelly, please.
You just dug your own grave.
You're dead on this waterfront...
and every waterfront
from Boston to New Orleans.
You don't drive a truck or a cab,
you don't push a baggage rack.
You don't work no place!
You're dead!
Get your hands off me!
Come on! Quit following me!
Why don't you get off my tail?
You ought to be glad
we're following you.
I feel like a canary.
- Well...
- Lay off.
Hi, Chickie.
Who's your friend?
I made some hot coffee.
I thought you might want some.
Anyway, it's all over.
My friends don't want
to talk to me.
Are you sure
they're your friends?
I'll see you later.
Hi, Champ.
How's the kid?
What's the matter?
A pigeon for a pigeon!
The kid.
What'd he have to do that for?
Every one of them.
There's no place that's safe
for you now on the waterfront.
Maybe inland, out west someplace.
A farm.
A farm?
You can do anything, as long as
you're away from Johnny Friendly.
Even the longshoremen. You tried
to help and they turn their backs...
and stick to their
stupid D and D.
Are they taking chances for you?
Why should you...
You're not even listening to me,
are you?
You're going down there.
Just becauseJohnny warned you not to,
you're going down there.
You think you gotta prove
you're not afraid of them or something!
Go ahead!
Get it over with!
Go and get yourself killed!
You stupid, pigheaded...
What are you trying to prove?
They always said
I was a bum.
Well, I ain't a bum, Edie.
Don't worry.
I'm not gonna hurt nobody.
I'm just gonna go down there
and get my rights.
All right.
Everybody works today.
- What do you think, Boss?
- That ain't such a bad picture of you.
Stop breathing that clam sauce on me.
What's doing?
Let me work on that cheese-eater.
I'll top the bum off lovely.
Wait'll we get off
this front page.
Then he's mine!
I want him.
You hear that?
He's mine.
Where're them cops of yours, stoolie?
You're gonna need them.
You're still short
in the hatch, Mac.
Spec! Bring me
the first man you see.
Hey, you!
Here's your man, Mac.
You want more of the same?
Come back tomorrow.
All right.
That's it.
I hope that bum comes down here.
I love he come down here.
Did you ever hear
of the Sullivan law?
They'll be down on us
for the slightest infraction.
I'm gonna be indicted any minute!
Come on, now!
Give me! Give me!
Will you get it
through your heads?
They're dusting off
the hot seat for me!
We're a law-abiding union.
Understand?
Hey, Friendly!
John Friendly,
come out of there!
Come on out of there!
You wanna know
the trouble with you?
You think it makes you a big man
if you give the answers.
At the right time,
I'll catch up with you.
Now beat it.
Don't push your luck.
Wait a minute, you!
You take them heaters away
and you're nothing! You know that?
You'll talk yourself
in the river.
Take
