here
on the waterfront...
...you've another guess coming!
Get off the dock, Father!
Tillio, don't do that.- Whose side 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 in the house
for the wife and the 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 fellas 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.
Did you see that?
You want to know what's wrong
with our waterfront?
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 fella
down here is your brother in Christ!
But remember,
Christ is always with you.
Christ is in the shape-up,
he's in the hatch...
...he's kneeling right here
beside Dugan.
And he's staying with all of you.
If you do it to the least of mine,
you do it to me.
What they did to Joey and to Dugan,
they're doing to you.
And you, you.
All of you!
And only you...
Only you, with God's help, have
the power to knock them out for good.
Okay, Kayo?
Amen.
All right, come on. Let's go.
Break it up. Let's go to work.
Edie, Joey's jacket.
I'm sure Kayo would wish you
to have it back.
Terry?
Terry?
I brought you Joey's jacket.
Yours is coming apart.
Pigeons.
Yeah. They're nervous.
There was a hawk
around here before.
Edie.
Hey, Father, I wanna speak to you
a minute.
Remember what you said...
...about Kayo Dugan and
about keeping your mouth shut?
I don't wanna hear your confession.
I'll dig it out myself...
...and use it where it'll
do the most good.
Take your turn.
Father Gregory will hear you.
I don't wanna talk to...
Wait a second. Wait a minute.
I just wanna talk to you one second.
You gotta listen to me.
I'm the one that set Joey Doyle
up for the knock-off.
Take a walk with me, kid.
Give it to me straight.
There's nothing I haven't heard.
Come on.
It started out as a favor.
Favor, who am I kidding?
It's "do it or else."
Believe me, I just thought they
was gonna lean on him a little bit.
I never figured they
was gonna knock him off.
I tried to tell Edie
the other night.
I wanted to tell her. She's the first
nice thing that ever happened to me.
What are you gonna do about it?
- You mean about telling her?
- About her, the Commission...
...your subpoena.
- I know you got a subpoena.
- Well, I don't know.
It's like carrying a monkey
around on your back.
A question of who rides who.
You know if I spill,
my life ain't worth a nickel.
How much is your soul worth
if you don't?
They're asking me to put the finger
on my own brother.
Johnny Friendly took me
to ball games when I was a kid.
Ball games. Don't break my heart.
I wouldn't care if he gave you
a life pass to the Polo Grounds.
You've got a brother.
Let me tell you something.
You've got other brothers
getting the short end...
...while Johnny's getting mustard
on his face at the Polo Grounds!
Ball games.
Listen, if I were you,
I would walk right...
Never mind.
I'm not asking you to do anything. Your
conscience has gotta do the asking.
Conscience.
- That stuff can drive you nuts.
- Good luck.
Is that all you gotta say?
Come here.
Edie called me this morning.
She's coming here to talk to me.
Come on. Why don't you tell her?
No curves.
Okay.
Thanks.
- You?
- Honest to God, I...
You gotta believe me.
I swear to
