What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well, that's just it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I talked to him on the phone.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Asked him to come out here.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
He says, okay, but he don't come. You think somebody's
knocked him off.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Then I call him again, he's okay again, he'll be
right over, but he still don't come.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well, have you gone over to Georgetown to see him,

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Five?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Six, maybe even half a dozen times?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
What every time he ain't there? Lefty?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
There's something wrong about it, Johnny. And if I was you,
i'd come down here, fine out.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You know something? I think you're right? Oh, Bob Bailey
and the Exciting Adventures of the Man with the Action
Tactic Pensacout, America's populous freelance insurance investigator is truly Johnny Dollar.
(02:14):
Expense account Submit advice Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the
Continental Insurance Company Home Office, New York, New York, following
as an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of
the Virtuous Mobster Matter expense account out of won seven
dollars eighty five cents trained to New York City and
taxi to the office of Continental Insurance Company. Fortunately, my
(02:38):
contact there been all Off, was in, come in, mister dollar,
come in. Thanks, How I am thanks? Now aster all
off in a minute. Don't tell me you never received
that check for your services down in South Carolina. Oh, yes,
I got that by that mailed out to you nearly
two months ago. Yes, I said, I got it. I
am who O good. Incidentally, I thoroughly enjoyed your report
(02:59):
on that case. The village of Virtue matter you call it?
So why a group of ex gangsters should decide to
settle in a town called Virtue, I'll never understand while
they were they really behaving themselves, as your report indicated,
or had they been using that old plantation for a
sort of hideout. Their records have been cleaned down there
for over twenty years.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Now, is that so? Well?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Well, maybe the answer to organized crime is to give
all those fellows a nice quiet plantation to live off.
So I must say that when our agent down there,
Joseph Picatello, it's about Joe that I've come to time.
I must say that I was a bit concerned when
I found Joe had sold policies to characters like Lefty
Stemper and Bully Magoon and Flippy lack of mister Ollie.
Those were the very sort of men that Thomas E.
Dwy chased out of New York when he was DA
(03:40):
some years ago.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Ster.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
All that was before due with the game governor. You know,
so naturally, what are you going to say about Joe Piccatello.
Have you heard from Joe recently?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
No, I don't think I have, now that you mentioned,
because I just talked over the pharm Wait.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You must understand one thing, mister.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
What's that our office down there in Georgetown is probably
the smallest one we have in the whole country.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Joe really doesn't have much business for us.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You know, yes, I understand. I understood that when I
talked to him in April. If it weren't for those
those mobsters over in Virtue, mobsters, mister ar Well, if
it wasn't for them and some of the townspeople to
whom we've issued policies, I, mister Donner, has something happened
to Joe Pigadello. That's what I want to find out,
because now that I think about it.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Excuse me, it's Bailey.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yes, mister Arnoff, did you ever get a reply on
the harmon policy from mister Piccatello in our Georgetown office?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
No, sir, I've written mister Piketteller several times.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Thank you. Color We wrote Joe about that harmon matter
over four weeks ago. Well didn't it occur to you
to phone him and find out why he hasn't answered you?
But it involves such a small policy that uh, yes,
perhaps I'd better try to call him.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's Bailey.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Wait, yes, nothing what I said?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Well, mister Donald or mister Roloff. If something has happened
to Joe Pigtello, well look, instead of spreading the alarm,
how about if I quietly run on down there. But
have you reason to believe something wrong has happened to him?
Only from what his clients down there at the plantation
have told me over the phone? You you think.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Perhaps some of his old Gangland enemies have got to him.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
After twenty years. I don't know, but if you'll all
came my expense account, I'll go down there and see.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Well, now, mister Donna, And if.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You won't, I'll get down there anyway, but there's the
danger too. This might be a very dangerous. Let me
let me hear from you as soon as you can,
mister Dollar, Act two of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar, in
(05:44):
a moment. Our flag now numbers fifty stars, and behind
each star there stands yet another flag representing one of
the fifty states, Delaware state flag. There's the date December seventh,
seventeen eighty seven, for on this day that Delaware became
the first state to ratify the Federal Constitution. Because it
(06:06):
was the first, it is given the honor of placing
its state banner first to the inauguration ceremony of the President.
Inscribed on the flag is the state motto, symbolic of
the yearnings of the many immigrants who came to these shores,
liberty and independence. The flag for Delaware, the first state
to enter the Union, was adopted on July twenty fourth,
(06:28):
nineteen thirteen. And now I too, of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar,
and the virtuous mobster matter expenser con itdem two twenty
eight dollars even transportation in incidentals New York City to Georgetown,
South Carolina. It was late when I pulled into the
prosperous little southern community that was dark, pitch dark. I
(06:51):
am three fifty bucks deposit on a rental car. I
had them four seventy cents for a sandwich and a
coca and all night dynam Then I drove over to
Joe Picatello's on a side street near the park, the
small framed building that served as both office and living quarters.
But Joe was dark, but I didn't. I hope he
might be asleep in his little apartment of about I
knocked no answer until I was about to turn and
(07:15):
go back to my car. It was the sound of
a door slamming somewhere inside, but still no light showed.
I knocked again, Then faintly I heard footsteps approaching. But
why hadn't Joe turned on the light in there? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
What do you want, Joe?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, Joe, open up. It's Johnny Dollar. Johnny Dollar insurance investigator.

For twenty years.
Speaker 4 (11:03):

Speaker 4 (11:32):

punks doing here? Huh hey, Joe, that's right? Who'd you expected?
What's the big eye?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
All right, don't move because Joe, I'm gonna blast your
head off.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Act three of yours, truly Johnny Dollar in a moment.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Many of us on the job are clockwatchers and time
clock punchers, just gating for time to quit. When is
it really time to quit? The man with a set
day of work has a schedule to adhere to, but
the fighting man quits only when the job is done,
and to him, capture by the enemy does not mean
the end, but perhaps only the beginning of a most
important part of his job. One of the points of
(12:18):
the Code of Conduct for the American fighting Man says quote.
If I am captured, I will continue to resist by
all means available. I will make every effort to escape
into aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole
or special favors from the enemy unquoked. The strong ideals
set forth there are the same ideals that gave great
determination to one young officer of the United States Navy,
(12:42):
Lieutenant Edward V. M.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Isaac.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Half an hour after his ship was sunk by three
torpedoes in the Atlantic Ocean in May nineteen eighteen, at
the height of World War One, he was taken prisoner
by the commander of the German submarine Unite. During the
U boat's trip back to Germany, Lieutenant Isaac learned a
great deal of vital secret information about U boat movements.
Determined to make this information available to the United States
(13:05):
and Allied naval authorities, Lieutenant Isaac, while on his way
to a prisoner of war camp, risked his life by
jumping through the window of a rapidly moving train. Severely
injured by his fall, he was again captured months later,
aided by several American Army officers who short circuited the
prison lighting system. Lieutenant Isaac escaped through barbed wire fences
(13:26):
and amid heavy rifle fire from the guards. After seven
days and nights of rugged travel over the mountains and
with only raw vegetables for food, he swam the swift
current of the Rhine River Rhinander the noses of the
enemy sentries, evading many enemy soldiers. He reached the American
legation in Burned, Switzerland and completed his self assigned mission
(13:49):
or risking his life many times above and beyond the
call of duty. Lieutenant Edward Isaac was awarded the Medal
of Honor. His personal code of conduct had made him
realize that war does an end, and with confinement as
a prisoner of war, that is when the real responsibility
need begin.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
And now Act three of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar and
the Virtuous Mobster matter to say, the atmosphere was tense
there on Joe Piccotello's office in Georgetown, South Carolina, would
be the understatement of the week. After the beating I'd
taken for the next gangster in one of his pals.
(14:29):
My old friends Lefty and Flippy had come in, had
found me there, and they couldn't understand why Joe had
done this to me unless it.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Means she's went back, That's what it means, went back
to the rackets. Wally Don't Bump was with him and
when Woolley was partners in the old days dope.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Nuts, so that two of them swore to get Joe.
And then suddenly we looked up to see someone standing
in the doorway. Joe, it was Joe Picatillo.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
That's right now? Would you expect it?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
What?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Don't move because Joe, I'm gonna bless your head off
and I put that thing down.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Don't move. Be a gag or something? Is it a gag?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
What you've done at Johnny Dollar?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Johnny?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I said, one move and I'll give.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It to here.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Johnny. Turn around, Joe, I'll shoot you in the back.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You dirty?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
What did they do to you?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Johnny?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Listen, Joe, Lucky Flippy, I'll kill you for this.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Your dirty ratid Lefty?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Johnny's my pal like you used to be before you
went back in the rackets.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Went back in the racket. Yeah, yeah, that doppound Willy
the Lump. What do you know about Willy the Lump?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Plenty, Now that you're back with them.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You're crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
It's no good, Joe, because Johnny recognized you, You and
Willy the Lump. When you wake them over, I take
you that I had twenty years.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You and Bully and Flippy and me.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
We showed we could do it straight.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
We could be respectable being a boy's at the plantation.
You down here, but now you spoiled it. You're ruining
for all of us.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Luck when you listen, don't move. We made a deal,
you and me and the boys twenty years ago.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
If anybody slips, anybody breaks up our respectable life, you
gotta go.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Was that the deal?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yeah? Yeah, that was the deal.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
But you don't know what you're talking about when you
say I'm going back there, all right? So you yours come,
You not only go back and do this to Johnny Dotar.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
My friend, the guy who believed in it, Lefty, So
for that you got a gout he listen, No, Joe,
right clifty, give me a gun, Lefty.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
No, Johnny, that was the deal.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You ever use a gun on a man, you'll go
up for the rest of your life.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Julie, it's for you.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Hand it over, Lefty. Okay, thanks, you see it? It
wasn't Joe who worked me over? I thought it was.
It did look like him, it sounded like that, and
it was Look at his hands. His face is closed.
Is this the man I fought with him here five
minutes ago?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Maybe I did get the worst of it with two
of them on top of me, But believe me, I
cut them up some tool.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
He's right, lefty, Yeah, but then I don't if it
wasn't him, the twin, the twin.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
You're right, lefty, it must be the twin twin here?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
All right, boys, let me in on the tour.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
With Shep Block or the twin they called him, that's
what the law called him, call him Joe the twins
because they looked like each other.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
They talked like each other.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
There was always yelliby for each other.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
But what Shep Locko doing here?
Speaker 3 (17:18):

Our flag now numbers fifty stars, and behind each star
there stands yet another flag representing one of the fifty states.
California state flag was first raised at Sonoma on June fourteenth,
eighteen forty six, by American settlers in revolt against Mexican authority.
The flag was made of unbleached cotton and flannel, A
(21:33):
red Star placed in the upper corner near the flag pole,
and the now extinct grizzly there was in the center.
Many flags have flown over California, in addition to the
Mexican Flag, the red Cross of Saint George planted by
Sir Francis Drake, the Royal Standards of Carlos the Fifth
of Spain, the Russians, Blue Saint Andrew's Cross, and the
(21:53):
pirate banner of Hippolyte Bouchard, which was flown over the
Presidio at Monterey. But to California, two flags are first

Yeah, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well, that's just it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I talked to him on the phone.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Asked him to come out here.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
He says, okay, but he don't come. You think somebody's
knocked him off.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Then I call him again, he's okay again, he'll be
right over, but he still don't come.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well, have you gone over to Georgetown to see him,
to see what's the matter?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Five?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Six, maybe even half a dozen times?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
What every time he ain't there? Lefty?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
There's something wrong about it, Johnny. And if I was you,
i'd come down here, fine out.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You know something? I think you're right? Oh, Bob Bailey
and the Exciting Adventures of the Man with the Action
Tactic Pensacout, America's populous freelance insurance investigator is truly Johnny Dollar.
(02:14):
Expense account Submit advice Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the
Continental Insurance Company Home Office, New York, New York, following
as an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of
the Virtuous Mobster Matter expense account out of won seven
dollars eighty five cents trained to New York City and
taxi to the office of Continental Insurance Company. Fortunately, my
(02:38):
contact there been all Off, was in, come in, mister dollar,
come in. Thanks, How I am thanks? Now aster all
off in a minute. Don't tell me you never received
that check for your services down in South Carolina. Oh, yes,
I got that by that mailed out to you nearly
two months ago. Yes, I said, I got it. I
am who O good. Incidentally, I thoroughly enjoyed your report
(02:59):
on that case. The village of Virtue matter you call it?
So why a group of ex gangsters should decide to
settle in a town called Virtue, I'll never understand while
they were they really behaving themselves, as your report indicated,
or had they been using that old plantation for a
sort of hideout. Their records have been cleaned down there
for over twenty years.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Now, is that so? Well?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Well, maybe the answer to organized crime is to give
all those fellows a nice quiet plantation to live off.
So I must say that when our agent down there,
Joseph Picatello, it's about Joe that I've come to time.
I must say that I was a bit concerned when
I found Joe had sold policies to characters like Lefty
Stemper and Bully Magoon and Flippy lack of mister Ollie.
Those were the very sort of men that Thomas E.
Dwy chased out of New York when he was DA
(03:40):
some years ago.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Ster.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
All that was before due with the game governor. You know,
so naturally, what are you going to say about Joe Piccatello.
Have you heard from Joe recently?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
No, I don't think I have, now that you mentioned,
because I just talked over the pharm Wait.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You must understand one thing, mister.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
What's that our office down there in Georgetown is probably
the smallest one we have in the whole country.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Joe really doesn't have much business for us.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You know, yes, I understand. I understood that when I
talked to him in April. If it weren't for those
those mobsters over in Virtue, mobsters, mister ar Well, if
it wasn't for them and some of the townspeople to
whom we've issued policies, I, mister Donner, has something happened
to Joe Pigadello. That's what I want to find out,
because now that I think about it.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Excuse me, it's Bailey.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yes, mister Arnoff, did you ever get a reply on
the harmon policy from mister Piccatello in our Georgetown office?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
No, sir, I've written mister Piketteller several times.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Thank you. Color We wrote Joe about that harmon matter
over four weeks ago. Well didn't it occur to you
to phone him and find out why he hasn't answered you?
But it involves such a small policy that uh, yes,
perhaps I'd better try to call him.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's Bailey.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Wait, yes, nothing what I said?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Well, mister Donald or mister Roloff. If something has happened
to Joe Pigtello, well look, instead of spreading the alarm,
how about if I quietly run on down there. But
have you reason to believe something wrong has happened to him?
Only from what his clients down there at the plantation
have told me over the phone? You you think.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Perhaps some of his old Gangland enemies have got to him.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
After twenty years. I don't know, but if you'll all
came my expense account, I'll go down there and see.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Well, now, mister Donna, And if.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You won't, I'll get down there anyway, but there's the
danger too. This might be a very dangerous. Let me
let me hear from you as soon as you can,
mister Dollar, Act two of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar, in
(05:44):
a moment. Our flag now numbers fifty stars, and behind
each star there stands yet another flag representing one of
the fifty states, Delaware state flag. There's the date December seventh,
seventeen eighty seven, for on this day that Delaware became
the first state to ratify the Federal Constitution. Because it
(06:06):
was the first, it is given the honor of placing
its state banner first to the inauguration ceremony of the President.
Inscribed on the flag is the state motto, symbolic of
the yearnings of the many immigrants who came to these shores,
liberty and independence. The flag for Delaware, the first state
to enter the Union, was adopted on July twenty fourth,
(06:28):
nineteen thirteen. And now I too, of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar,
and the virtuous mobster matter expenser con itdem two twenty
eight dollars even transportation in incidentals New York City to Georgetown,
South Carolina. It was late when I pulled into the
prosperous little southern community that was dark, pitch dark. I
(06:51):
am three fifty bucks deposit on a rental car. I
had them four seventy cents for a sandwich and a
coca and all night dynam Then I drove over to
Joe Picatello's on a side street near the park, the
small framed building that served as both office and living quarters.
But Joe was dark, but I didn't. I hope he
might be asleep in his little apartment of about I
knocked no answer until I was about to turn and
(07:15):
go back to my car. It was the sound of
a door slamming somewhere inside, but still no light showed.
I knocked again, Then faintly I heard footsteps approaching. But
why hadn't Joe turned on the light in there? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
What do you want, Joe?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, Joe, open up. It's Johnny Dollar. Johnny Dollar insurance investigator.
Speaker 3 (07:39):

a lot of noise. And if any wait, he's a
car coming down.

alone going the back way.
Speaker 4 (09:08):

He was my pal, he was your pole and the

Speaker 3 (10:53):
It means he's went back, That's what it means. He's
went back to the old racket dope smuggling. Yeah, him
and Willie Lumper's partners in the old days.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
For twenty years.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Joe's bub have been strength, Lefty look like you and

Speaker 2 (11:07):

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Oh no, left here, Johnny. First, we take you back
to the plantation where you get all right again, no listen,
and we find Joe Piketteller, Flip and Bully and me.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
And when we do, huh well, now, what are you
punks doing here? Huh hey, Joe, that's right? Who'd you expected?
What's the big eye?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
All right, don't move because Joe, I'm gonna blast your
head off.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Act three of yours, truly Johnny Dollar in a moment.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Many of us on the job are clockwatchers and time
clock punchers, just gating for time to quit. When is
it really time to quit? The man with a set
day of work has a schedule to adhere to, but
the fighting man quits only when the job is done,
and to him, capture by the enemy does not mean
the end, but perhaps only the beginning of a most
important part of his job. One of the points of
(12:18):
the Code of Conduct for the American fighting Man says quote.
If I am captured, I will continue to resist by
all means available. I will make every effort to escape
into aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole
or special favors from the enemy unquoked. The strong ideals
set forth there are the same ideals that gave great
determination to one young officer of the United States Navy,
(12:42):
Lieutenant Edward V. M.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Isaac.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Half an hour after his ship was sunk by three
torpedoes in the Atlantic Ocean in May nineteen eighteen, at
the height of World War One, he was taken prisoner
by the commander of the German submarine Unite. During the
U boat's trip back to Germany, Lieutenant Isaac learned a
great deal of vital secret information about U boat movements.
Determined to make this information available to the United States
(13:05):
and Allied naval authorities, Lieutenant Isaac, while on his way
to a prisoner of war camp, risked his life by
jumping through the window of a rapidly moving train. Severely
injured by his fall, he was again captured months later,
aided by several American Army officers who short circuited the
prison lighting system. Lieutenant Isaac escaped through barbed wire fences
(13:26):
and amid heavy rifle fire from the guards. After seven
days and nights of rugged travel over the mountains and
with only raw vegetables for food, he swam the swift
current of the Rhine River Rhinander the noses of the
enemy sentries, evading many enemy soldiers. He reached the American
legation in Burned, Switzerland and completed his self assigned mission
(13:49):
or risking his life many times above and beyond the
call of duty. Lieutenant Edward Isaac was awarded the Medal
of Honor. His personal code of conduct had made him
realize that war does an end, and with confinement as
a prisoner of war, that is when the real responsibility
need begin.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
And now Act three of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar and
the Virtuous Mobster matter to say, the atmosphere was tense
there on Joe Piccotello's office in Georgetown, South Carolina, would
be the understatement of the week. After the beating I'd
taken for the next gangster in one of his pals.
(14:29):
My old friends Lefty and Flippy had come in, had
found me there, and they couldn't understand why Joe had
done this to me unless it.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Means she's went back, That's what it means, went back
to the rackets. Wally Don't Bump was with him and
when Woolley was partners in the old days dope.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Nuts, so that two of them swore to get Joe.
And then suddenly we looked up to see someone standing
in the doorway. Joe, it was Joe Picatillo.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
That's right now? Would you expect it?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
What?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
All right?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Don't move because Joe, I'm gonna bless your head off
and I put that thing down.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Don't move. Be a gag or something? Is it a gag?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
What you've done at Johnny Dollar?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Johnny?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I said, one move and I'll give.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It to here.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Johnny. Turn around, Joe, I'll shoot you in the back.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You dirty?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
What did they do to you?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Johnny?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Listen, Joe, Lucky Flippy, I'll kill you for this.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Your dirty ratid Lefty?
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Johnny's my pal like you used to be before you
went back in the rackets.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Went back in the racket. Yeah, yeah, that doppound Willy
the Lump. What do you know about Willy the Lump?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Plenty, Now that you're back with them.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
You're crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
It's no good, Joe, because Johnny recognized you, You and
Willy the Lump. When you wake them over, I take
you that I had twenty years.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You and Bully and Flippy and me.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
We showed we could do it straight.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
We could be respectable being a boy's at the plantation.
You down here, but now you spoiled it. You're ruining
for all of us.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Luck when you listen, don't move. We made a deal,
you and me and the boys twenty years ago.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
If anybody slips, anybody breaks up our respectable life, you
gotta go.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Was that the deal?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yeah? Yeah, that was the deal.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
But you don't know what you're talking about when you
say I'm going back there, all right? So you yours come,
You not only go back and do this to Johnny Dotar.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
My friend, the guy who believed in it, Lefty, So
for that you got a gout he listen, No, Joe,
right clifty, give me a gun, Lefty.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
No, Johnny, that was the deal.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You ever use a gun on a man, you'll go
up for the rest of your life.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Julie, it's for you.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Hand it over, Lefty. Okay, thanks, you see it? It
wasn't Joe who worked me over? I thought it was.
It did look like him, it sounded like that, and
it was Look at his hands. His face is closed.
Is this the man I fought with him here five
minutes ago?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Maybe I did get the worst of it with two
of them on top of me, But believe me, I
cut them up some tool.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
He's right, lefty, Yeah, but then I don't if it
wasn't him, the twin, the twin.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
You're right, lefty, it must be the twin twin here?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
All right, boys, let me in on the tour.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
With Shep Block or the twin they called him, that's
what the law called him, call him Joe the twins
because they looked like each other.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
They talked like each other.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
There was always yelliby for each other.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
But what Shep Locko doing here?

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
