around with his sister?
Just shut up!
It's just the Doyle broad,
she's got him so he doesn't...
...know where his feet is anymore.
It's an unhealthy relationship.
- Definitely!
- Get rid of her...
...unless you're both tired of living.
- You got her address?
- Yeah.
We've got to do something
to muzzle Dugan...
...or he'll raise the biggest stink
this town's ever seen.
We got the best muscle on the waterfront.
The time to use it is now.
Pronto, if not sooner.
You know where you're going? Back in
the hold. No more cushy job in the loft.
It's down in the hold with the sweat gang
till you learn your lesson.
Let's go.
Wise up!
Come on, you're all right. Let's do it.
At last an Irish shipment.
And loaded to the gunnels
with fine Irish whiskey.
You see, Kayo,
the good Lord takes care of us all the time.
- That he does.
- Come on out, Kayo, get it up.
All right, take it up. Take it away.
And don't go walking off with any of that!
You know how the boss feels
about individual pilferage.
All right, all right.
Now you see the advantage
of a little man in a big coat.
- Let me see you a minute afterwards.
- What're you here for?
To see that we don't steal
any of Mr. Friendly's precious cargo?
- I want to talk to you.
- Get away from me, will you?
All right. Take it up. Take it away.
Kayo, you're a walking distillery.
Watch it!
Get a doctor!
He don't need a doctor. He needs a priest.
I came down here to keep a promise.
I gave Kayo my word
that if he stood up to the Mob...
...I'd stand up with him all the way.
And now Kayo Dugan is dead.
He was one of those fellows
who had the gift for standing up.
This time they fixed him.
They fixed him for good this time,
unless it was an accident...
...like Big Mac says.
Some people think the Crucifixion
only took place on Calvary.
They better wise up.
Taking Joey Doyle's life to stop him
from testifying is a crucifixion.
Dropping a sling on Kayo Dugan...
...because he was ready
to spill his guts tomorrow...
...that's a crucifixion.
Every time the mob
puts the crusher on a good man...
...tries to stop him from doing his duty
as a citizen, it's a crucifixion.
And anybody who sits around
and lets it happen...
...keeps silent about something he knows
has happened, shares the guilt of it...
...just as much as the Roman soldier...
...who pierced the flesh of Our Lord
to see if He was dead.
Go back to your church, Father.
Boys, this is my church.
If you don't think Christ is down here
on the waterfront...
...you've got another guess coming!
Get off this dock, Father!
Tillio, don't do that.
- Whose side are you on, boy?
- Let him finish.
Every morning...
...when the hiring boss blows his whistle...
...Jesus stands alongside you
in the shape-up.
He sees why some of you get picked
and some of you get passed over.
He sees the family men worrying
about getting their rent...
...and getting food for the wife and kids.
He sees you selling your souls
to the mob for a day's pay.
The next bum that throws something
deals with me!
I don't care if he's twice my size!
What does Christ think
of the easy-money boys...
...who do none of the work
and take all the gravy?
How does he feel about
the fellows who wear $150 suits...
...and diamond rings on your union dues
and your kickback money?
And how does He, who spoke up
without fear against every evil...
...feel about your silence?
Shut up about that!
Just watch this.
You see that?
You want to know what's wrong
with our waterfront?
It's the love of a lousy buck.
It's making love of a buck, the cushy job...
...more important than the love of man.
It's forgetting that every fellow
down here is your brother in Christ.
But remember, Christ is always with you.
Christ's in the shape-up,
in the hatch, in the union hall.
He's kneeling right here beside Dugan
and He's saying with all of you:
"If you do it to the least of mine,
you do it to me."
What they did
