What does that bull want in here? I'll show him where he gets off... [To Flaherty] Who invited you here?
Sgt. Flaherty You're getting up in the world, aren't you, Rico?
The downstairs is open to anybody, even cops, but the upstairs is private.
Sgt. Flaherty Thanks, but I like to keep my eye on you, Rico. You see, I'm your friend. I like to see a young fellow getting up in the world. That's all. So long.
Sgt. Flaherty So somebody finally put one in you.
Yeah, but they just grazed me, though.
Sgt. Flaherty The old man will be glad to hear it. He takes such an interest in you.
Are you telling me the cops couldn't get me no other way, so they hired a couple of gunmen?
Sgt. Flaherty If I wasn't on the force, I'd have done the job cheap.
Did you ever stop to think what you'd look like with a lily in your hand?
Sgt. Flaherty No, I never did. I've been in this game a good many years, and I put the cuffs on a lot of mugs. Some day, you and I are gonna take a ride, Rico. And when we do, I'll have the cuffs on you too.
No buzzard like you would ever put any cuffs on Rico.
Sgt. Flaherty I'm gonna get that swell-headed mug if it's the last thing I ever do.
Sgt. Flaherty You'd better give up, Rico. You haven't got a chance.
You want me, you'll have to come and get me.
Sgt. Flaherty You'd better be a nice boy, Enrico, and come out.
You heard me. If you want me, you'll have to come and get me.
Sgt. Flaherty I'll be with you in a minute...[Flaherty aims a large machine-gun at the billboard] This is your last chance, Rico. Are you coming out or do you want to be carried out?
Sgt. Flaherty Well, Rico, it looks like you and I are going to take that little ride together.
No, no, we ain't. I told you, little buzzard like you will never put any cuffs on me.
Sgt. Flaherty You should have come out when I told you to, Rico.
Mother of Mercy! Is this the end of Rico?
