Bill Burns.
Abe Attell
"Sleepy" Bill Burns! Strictly bench material.
Bill Burns
I won a few games.
Abe Attell
Well, you lost a few more. [To Maharg] And you, my friend, didn't get that nose bobbing for apples.
Billy Maharg
I'm a fighter, sort of.
Abe Attell
Sort of. Let's see...Philly?
Billy Maharg
Yeah.
Abe Attell
Billy Maharg!
Billy Maharg
Yeah! You've seen me fight?
Abe Attell
Yeah, I've seen ya - you're a bum!
Billy Maharg
Hey!
Abe Attell
Yeah. So, what do you two birds want?
Billy Maharg
Word is that you work for Arnold Rothstein.
Bill Burns
We've got a proposition to make. Could mean big bucks.
Abe Attell
Well, I'm Mr. Rothstein's ears, so let's hear it.
