On The Waterfront ScriptWaterfront, exterior shotJohnny (to Terry) Now you take it easy, slugger.

Terry Joey! Joe Doyle!Joey All right! What do you want?Terry I got one of your birds. I recognized him by the band.Joey It must be Danny-boy. I lost him in the last race.Terry He flew into my coop. You want him? Joey I got to watch myself these days. You know what I mean?Terry Don't worry. - I'll take him up to your loft. Joey Okay, I'll see you on the roof.

Outside Johnny Friendly’s BarCharley How goes it?Terry He's up on the roof.Charley The pigeon?Terry Yeah, it worked.Truck I think somebody fell off the roof. He thought he'd sing to the Crime Commission. He won't. Terry I thought they'd talk to him.Charley That's the idea.Terry I thought they'd talk to him and get him to dummy up. Truck Maybe he gave them an argument.Terry I figured the worst they was gonna do was lean on him a little bit.Charley Like I said, maybe he gave them an argument. Truck He's been giving Johnny the Boss a lot of arguments lately. Terry He wasn't a bad kid, that Joey. Other A canary.Truck He could sing, but he couldn't fly.Charley Come on, I'll buy you a drink.Terry I'll be in there laterBystander Father Barry is here.Mrs Collins Same thing happened to my Andy five years ago.Policeman- You're Pop Doyle, the boy's father? Pop That's right.Policeman Looks like he fell off the roof, or maybe he was pushed.

Any ideas? –Pop No. Mrs Collins He was the only longshoreman that had the guts to talk to

the crime investigators. Pop Who asked you? –Mrs Collins Everybody knows that. Pop Shut up. lf he took my advice he wouldn't be—Mrs Collins Everyone knows that. Pop I said, "Shut up!" Cop I know how you feel about cops, but if you give

me... ...some leads I could-- Pop I kept telling him, "Don't say nothing. "Keep quiet, you'll

live longer."Moose I've been on the docks all my life, boy, and there's one

thing I learned. You don't ask no questions, you don't answer no questions... ...unless you want to wind up like that.

Fr Barry Edie, come here. I want to talk to you.Edie Father, who'd want to kill Joey? Stay away from him! Stay

away from him!

Fr Barry Edie, listen! Remember time and faith are great healers. Edie Father, my brother is dead and you talk about time and

faith. My brother was the best kid in the neighbourhood and everybody said so.

Fr Barry I'm in the church if you need me. Edie You're in the church if I need you? Did you ever hear of a

saint hiding in a church? I want to know who killed my brother!

Big Mac What's the matter with you, punk?

Barman Boss, Packy wants another drink on the cuff. Johnny Friendly Give it to him. Big Mac And here's the cut on the shape-up. men, $ a head. That's $ . Johnny Charley, you count them. Big Mac The banana boat is tomorrow. If we pull a walkout, it

might be a few bucks from the shippers. Them bananas go bad in a hurry. –

Charley Ask $ 2 g . Johnny Clowns can't fight. There's nobody tough anymore. Hi,

slugger. Hi, kid. Where's Morgan? Where's that big banker of mine?

JP Right here, Mr. Friendly. -Johnny Hi, JP, how's business? JP Having trouble with Kelly again, boss. He won't take no

loans and Big Mac puts him to work anyway. -Big Mac He's my wife's nephew. –JP He won't take no loans!Big Mac I got to put him to work. She'd murder me! Someone That's why I never got married. JP Here's the interest on the day, boss. $532 . Johnny You count it. Terry Counting makes me sleepy. Johnny You handle that sheet metal all right Skins It was easy. The new checker faked the receipt. Here. Johnny You want to talk to me, take the cigar out of your mouth.

Stow the receipt. I'll take the cash. –Skins Sure. Johnny Here you are, 45 bills. -Terry, you count this. Come on,

go on, it's good for you. lt develops your mind. Big Mac What mind? Johnny Shut up. I like the kid. Remember the night he took Farella

at St. Nick's, Charley? We won a bundle. Real tough. A big try.

Terry I lost the count. Johnny Okay, forget it, Einstein. How come you never got an

education like your brother Charley? Big Mac The only arithmetic he ever got was hearing the referee

count up to ten . Terry You're not too funny today, Fat Man. Johnny Hey, what gives with our boy tonight, Charley? He ain't

himself. Charley It's the Joey Doyle thing and how he exaggerates the thing.

Too much Marquis of Queensbury softens him up. Johnny Listen, I'm a soft touch, too. Ask any rummy on the dock... ...if I'm not good for a fin any time they put the arm on me.

But my old lady raised us ten kids on a stinking watchman's pension. When I was 16 I had to beg for work in the hole. I didn't work my way up out of there for nothing.

Terry I know that, Johnny, I know it.

Johnny Taking over this local took a little doing. There were rough fellas in the way. They gave me this to remember them by.

Charley He kept his hand over his throat to stay alive and he still went after them.

Johnny I know what's eating you. I got 2000 dues-paying members in this local, that's $ 72000 a year legitimate. When each one of them puts in a couple of bucks a day just to make sure... ...the work's steady, well, figure it out. That's just for openers. We've got the fattest piers in the fattest harbour in the world. Everything moves in and out, we take our cut.

Charley Why shouldn't we? If we can get it, we're entitled to it. Johnny You don't suppose I can afford to be boxed out of a deal

like this, do you? A deal I sweated and bled for, on account of one lousy little cheese-eater.that Doyle bum, who thinks he can squeal to the crime commission. Do you? Do you?

Terry No, Johnny. I just figured I should (have been told). Charley (interrupting so that Terry’s last few words are not heard)

I make it $2623 You're $50 short, Skins. Johnny Gimme. -Skins I must've miscounted. –Johnny Gimme! You come from Green Point, go back there. You don't

work here no more. Here, kid, here's half a bill. Go get you a load on.

Terry No, I'm okay, Johnny, thanks. Johnny Present from your Uncle Johnny. And Mac, tomorrow morning

when you shape the men, put Terry up in the loft. Number one. Every day. It's nice, easy work if you check in and goof off on a coffee bag. Okay?

Charley You got a real friend here. Now don't forget it. Johnny Why should he forget it? Terry Thanks, Johnny. Johnny All right, payday. Rony. Mac.

Tommy Hi, Terry. Terry Hi, kid. –Tommy I was just going to feed them. Terry I already fed them. Jimmy You must've been up early? Terry I was up anyhow, so I figured I might as well. They sure

got it made. Eating, sleeping, flying around like crazy, raising gobs of squabs. Well, I better get over there. Be careful. Don't spill no water on the floor. I don't want them to catch cold. I'll see you around.

Big Mac Come on, Tony, give me the tabs. Various He was a good boy, that Doyle kid.

Sure he was, that's why he got it in the head. But he couldn't learn to keep his mouth shut.

Duigan Hey, Pop, why don't you go home? The boys at work today will be chipping in gladly.

Pop No thanks, fellas, I'm gonna shape. Who do you think'll pay for the funeral?

Dugan Johnny Friendly, the "great labour leader." Truck Why don't you keep that big mouth of yours shut? Sonny What are you, a wise guy?

Dugan If I was wise, I wouldn't be no longshoreman for 30 years. I'm poorer now than when I started.

Tillio Wise guy. Truck Big mouth. Moose Don't mess with those guys. Pop I brought you Joey's windbreaker. It might come in handy.

Go ahead, wear it. Duigan Thanks, Pop. Mine's more full of holes than the Pittsburgh

infield. Hey, Joe, I got a coat for you. Glover Do you know Terry Malloy?Jackie No, I don't. Never heard of him. Glover You're Terry Malloy, aren't you? Terry So what? Glover Didn't I see you fight a couple of years ago? Terry Without the birdseed, what do you want? Glover Identification. Terry Waterfront Crime Commission. What's that? Glover I just want to ask you a few questions. We'll hold public

hearings on waterfront crime......and underworld infiltration of longshore unions.

Terry I don't know nothing. –Gillette You haven't heard the questions yet.Terry What did you say? –Gillette You heard me Glover There's a rumour that you're one of the last people to see

Joey Doyle alive. Terry I don't know nothing. Gillette Nobody's accusing you of anything, Mr. Malloy. Glover I hope you understand that. Gillette Just want to ask you some questions about some people you

may know. Terry People I may know. –Gillette That's right. Terry You better get out of here, buster! Gillette Slow down, boy. Terry I don't know nothing, I ain't seen nothing, and I'm not

saying nothing. Why don't you and your girlfriend take off. Glover All right, Mr. Malloy! You've every right not to talk if

that's what you choose to do. The public has a right to know the facts.

Terry Yeah. Gillette We'll be seeing you again. Terry Never's going to be too much soon for me, Shorty. Glover Take it easy. Terry How do you like them mutts taking me for a pigeon. Jackie Who is it? Terry I don't know who they are. JP You're three weeks behind on the last $ 25 but I'm willing

to take a chance. Duigan Some chance at ten percent a week and if we don't borrow,

we don't work. Pop May you rot in hell, JP. JP When I'm dead and gone, you'll know what a friend I was. Duigan Why don't you drop dead now, so we can test your theory? JP Condolences. Duigan Hey, Pop,look.

Big Mac Let her go, Tony.

Edie I guess I spoke out of turn last night. FR Barr You think I'm just a gravy-train rider with a turned-around

collar, don't you? I see the sisters taught you not to lie. Big Mac All right. Loft gang: Malloy... ...Hendriks, Padowski... ...Westerfield, McGuire. Fr Barry I've been thinking about your question, and you're right,

Edie. This is my parish. I don't know how much I can do, but I'll never find out......unless I come down here and take a good look for myself.

Big Mac I need some extra banana carriers. Duigan Bananas again. I wonder when we'll get a boat from Ireland

with good Irish whiskey on it. Pop Dugan, my boy, you're dreaming again. Big Mac All right. Kelly. Richie. Yeah, you. What's the matter?

Nobody want to work today? Yeah, you. Workers Who do you see to get a day's pay around here?

Meatballs. –Definitely.

Fr Barry Come here. Hey, Terry, grab that one! Edie Give me that.Edie Get away! Edie Give it to me! –Terry Why? Edie Give it to me! Terry What makes you so special? Things are looking up on the

dock. Worker Don't you recognise her? That's Joey Doyle's sister. Edie Give me that. Terry You're Joey Doyle's sister? –Yes, I am. Terry You don't wanna go to work today anyhow. It's been nice

wrestling with you. Pop Edie! Edie Pop. Here's your tab, take it. Pop All right, give it to me. I can use it. Now get back to the

sisters where you belong. I'm surprised at you, Father, if you don't mind my saying so. Letting her see things ain't fit for the eyes of a decent girl.

Big Mac All right, that's all. Come back tomorrow. Fr Barry What do you do now?Moose Like Big Mac said, come back tomorrow.Dugan Tomorrow? No ship tomorrow.Worker I've been standing here for five straight mornings and that

bum there...Truck Come on, get out of here! –Worker Looks right through you. -Truck I'm sorry, Father, I didn't mean it. -What do you want to

do?Worker Come on, let's go get a ball Fr Barry Wait a minute. Is this all you do, just take it like this?

What about your unions? No other union in the country'd stand for a thing like that.

Jimmy The waterfront is tougher, Father, like it ain't part of America.

Moose Do you know how a trigger local works? Fr Barry No. How? Moose You get up in the meeting, you make a motion, the lights go

out, then you go out.

Jimmy That's how it's been since Johnny and his cowboys took over the local.

Moose Name one place where it's safe to talk without getting clobbered. -

Fr Barry The church. Dugan What? Fr Barry The bottom of the church. Dugan You know what you're letting yourself in for? Fr Barry You got a cigarette on you? Dugan Right over there.

Charley You working hard? Terry Yeah. Charley You wouldn't mind working once in a while to justify this

lofty position, would you? Terry I finished the work. I counted all them bags. Charley We have an extra detail for you. That's if you don't mind

being disturbed or anything. The priest and this Doyle girl are getting a meeting up together down at the church. We want a rundown on the names and the numbers of all the players.

Terry Wait a minute. Charley All right, you're nominated. Terry Why me, Charley? I feel funny going down there. I'd just be

stooling for you. Charley Let me tell you what stooling is. Stooling is when you rat

on your friend... ...the guys you're with. Johnny wants a favour. Don't think about it. Do it. Go on. Join the congregation.

Fr Barry I thought there would be more of you here, but.... The Romans found out what a handful could do if it's the right handful. I'm just a potato-eater, but isn't it simple as one, two, three? One. The working conditions are bad. Two. They're bad because the mob does the hiring. Three. The only way to break the mob is to stop letting them get away with murder. If one of you'll answer one question, we'd have a very good start. And that question is: Who killed Joey Doyle? Not one of you has a line on who killed Joey Doyle? I have a hunch all of you could tell us something about it. All right, then answer this one: How can we call ourselves Christians and protect these murderers with our silence?

Edie Jimmy Collins, you were Joey's best friend. How can you just sit there and not say anything?

Jimmy I'll always think of him as my best friend, but what do you want me to--

Dugan Who asked him in here? Fr Barry I'm trying to find out what happened to Joey Doyle. Maybe

you can be helpful.Dugan Helpful? The brother of Charley the Gent? They'll help us

get to the bottom of the river. Terry You better leave Charley out of this. Dugan You don't think he'd be helpful? Terry Why don't you ask him yourself? Dugan Maybe I will one of these days. Terry One of these days.

Fr Barry Now, listen, you know who the pistols are. Are you going to keep still until they cut you down one by one? Are you? Dugan! How about you? Are you?

Dugan One thing you have to understand, Father, on the dock... ...we've always been D and D. -Fr Barry D and D? What's that? –Dugan Deaf and dumb. No matter how much we hate the torpedoes, we

don't rat. Fr Barry Rat? Now boys, get smart. I know you're getting pushed

around, but there's one thing... ...we have in this country, and that's ways of fighting back. Getting the facts to the public Testifying for what is right against what is wrong. What's ratting to them is telling the truth for you, can't you see that? Can't you see that?

Fr Vincent It seems to me we've gone just about as far as we can at this time. I think you'll agree with that, Father. So, I'd like to close with a few words from St. Matthew: "Come unto me all you--" Window smashesWhat did I tell you about sticking your neck out. This is a police problem, not ours. –

Fr Barry These people need help. Fr Viincent Okay. Only don't blame me when they ship you off to

Abyssinia. Fr Barry I won't. You better go home in pairs. Twos is two, you

know. Terry Come on. Edie Pop! Pop Edie! Edie What's happened to Pop? Terry He's all right. He's an old man, they won't hurt him. Fr Barry Get out, you!

Are you all right? Dugan Yeah, considering they were using my head for a baseball. Fr Barry You still D and D? Do you still call it ratting? Dugan Are you on the level? –Fr Barry What do you think?Dugan If I stick my neck out and it's chopped off, is that the

end? Or will you go all the way? Fr Barry Down the line. Dugan They'll put muscle on you, too, turned-around collar or no

turned around collar. Fr Barry Wipe your face. Listen, you stand up and I'll stand up

with you. Dugan Right down the wire? Fr Barry So help me God. Terry I think we're okay. Edie Steel pipes and baseball bats. Terry They play pretty rough around here. Edie I can make it home now all right. Which side are you with? Terry Me? I'm with me, Terry.Mutt You got a dime for a cup of coffee? Terry Go on, beat it, will you?Mutt A little dime you don't need? I know you. You're Edie

Doyle.Terry Come on. Beat it. Beggar Your brother was a saint, the only one who ever tried to

get me compensation You remember, Terry. You was there that night.

Terry Here's some change. Go have yourself a ball. Mutt You don't buy me. You're still a bum. So long, Edie. Lord

have mercy on Joey. Terry Who's calling me a bum? Edie Everybody loved Joey. From little kids to the old rummies.

Did you know him very well? Terry You know, he got around. Edie What did that man mean just now? Terry Don't pay no attention to him. He's drunk, he's falling

down. Everything. He's a juicehead that hangs around the neighbourhood. Don't pay no attention.

Edie I better go now. Terry You don't have to be afraid of me. I'm not going to bite

you. I guess they don't let you walk with fellas where you've been?

Edie You know how the sisters are. Terry Yeah Are you training to be a nun? -lt's just a regular

college. Edie It's run by the Sisters of St. Anne. Terry Where is that? Edie In Tarrytown. Terry Where's that? Edie ln the country. Terry I don't like the country. The crickets make me nervous. How

often do you get in here? Edie I haven't been here since last Christmas. We were going to

have a Thanksgiving party. Terry That's nice. What do you do up there? Just study? Edie I want to be a teacher. Terry Teacher? That's very good. Personally, I admire brains. My

brother Charley is a very brainy guy. He had a couple of years of college.

Edie It isn't just brains. It's how you use them. Terry Yeah, I get your thought. You know, I've seen you a lot of

times before. Do you remember parochial school out on Puluski Street?

Edie Seven, eight years ago? Terry Your hair, you had your hair.... -Braids. Edie Looked like a hunk of rope. Terry You had wires on your teeth and glasses. Everything. You

was really a mess. Edie I can get home all right now, thanks. Terry Don't get sore. I was just kidding you a little bit. I just

mean to tell you that you're, you grew up very nice. Edie Thanks. Terry You don't remember me, do you? Edie I remembered you the first moment I saw you. Terry By the nose, huh? Some people just got faces that stick in

your mind. Edie I remember you were in trouble all the time. Terry Now you got me. The way those sisters used to whack me, I

don't know what. They thought they was going to beat an education into me, but I foxed them.

Edie Maybe they just didn't know how to handle you. Terry How would you have done it? Edie With a little more patience and kindness. That's what makes

people mean and difficult. People don't care enough about them.

Terry Are you kidding me? I'd better get you home. There's too many guys around here with only one thing on their mind. Am I going to see you again?

Edie What for? Terry I don't know. Edie I really don't know. Terry Come on.

Pop You're all packed. Here's your bus ticket and you're on your way back to St. Anne's.

Edie I'm not ready to go back yet, Pop. Pop Edie, for years your mom and me put quarters in the cookie

jar.. ...to keep you up there with the sisters... ...and keep you from things like I've just seen outside the window. A daughter of mine walking arm in arm with Terry Malloy. Do you know who Terry Malloy is?

Edie Who is he, Pop? Pop He's the kid brother of Charley the Gent... ...who is

Johnny Friendly's right hand and a butcher in a camel hair coat.

Edie Are you trying to tell me Terry is, too? He tries to act tough... ...but there's a look in his eye.

Pop Yeah, a look in his eye. Hold your hats, brothers, here we go again. You think he's one of them cases you're always dragging into the house... ...and feeling sorry for...

...like that litter of kittens you brought in. The only one you wanted to keep had six toes and was cockeyed to boot. Look at him. The little bum.

Edie He said he wants to see me again. Pop See this arm? Two inches longer than the other. That's from

years of working and sweating, lifting and swinging a hook. Every time I heist a box or a coffee bag, I says to myself... ...that is for Edie so she can be a teacher or something decent. I promised your mom, Edie. Don't let her down.

Edie I don't want you to think I'm not grateful for everything you've done. For giving me the education and keeping me away from all this. But I've seen things that I know are so wrong. How can I go back to school and keep my mind on things that are just in books......that aren't people living? I'm going to stay. I'm going to keep on trying to find out who is guilty for Joey.

Edie Hi. Terry What are you doing up there on the roof? Edie Just looking. Terry Take a look at the champion flock of the neighbourhood Fly

pretty nice, huh? Edie Golden Warriors? Terry Yeah. I founded the Golden Warriors. Might say that I was

the original Golden Warrior. This bum here is my shadow. He thinks I'm a tough man because I boxed pro a lot. Edie Joey used to raise pigeons. Joey used to raise pigeons. Terry Yeah, he had a few birds. I've been taking care of them. Edie I wouldn't have thought you'd be so interested in pigeons.Terry I just go for it. You know this city is full of hawks

That's a fact. They hang around on top of the big hotels. They spot a pigeon in the park, right down on them. You got a second? I want to show you something. What do you think of that fellow?

Edie She's a beauty.

Tommy She's a he. His name is Swifty. Terry Look what he went and did. He's my lead bird. He's always

on top of the perch. If another bum tries to come along and take his place, he really lets him have it.

Edie Even pigeons aren't peaceful. Terry There's one thing about them, they're very faithful. They

get married just like people. Tommy Better. Terry They stay that way until one of them dies. Edie That's nice. Terry (To Tommy) Go ahead. Fix the roof. You want that egg? Edie Thanks. Terry Do you like beer? Edie I don't know. Terry I bet you never had a glass of beer. Did you ever have a

glass of beer? Edie No. Terry You want to have one with me? Edie In a saloon? Terry I know a nice dump down here that has a special entrance

for ladies. Come on, it won't hurt. Come on. Edie Okay.

Terry Hey, you, mac. Two Glockenheimers and two for chasers. Barman Did you see the fight last night? Terry No.Barman A kid named Riley, both hands. Like you used to do. Terry I hope he got better dice than me. Edie Were you really a prizefighter? Terry I used to be. Edie How did you get interested in that? Terry I don't know. I had to scrap all my life, I might as well

get paid for it. When I was a kid my old man got bumped off. Never mind how. Then they stuck Charley and me...in a dump they call a "children's home." Boy, that was some home. Anyhow, I ran away from there and fought in the club smokers... ...and peddled papers and Johnny Friendly bought a piece of me.

Edie Bought a piece of you? Terry Yes. Then...I was going pretty good there for a while. Edie And after that.... Terry What do you really care, am I right? Edie Shouldn't everybody care about everybody else? Terry Boy, what a fruitcake you are. Edie I mean, isn't everybody a part of everybody else? Terry And you really believe that drool? Edie Yes, I do. Terry Here we are. One for the lady and for the gent.Here's to

the first one, I hope it ain't the last. Go ahead. No, not like that. One hum. Do you want to hear my philosophy of life? Do it to him before he does it to you.

Edie I never met anyone like you. There's not a spark of sentiment, or romance...or human kindness in your whole body.

Terry What good does it to you besides get you in trouble? Edie And when things and people get in your way, you just knock

them aside...get rid of them. Is that your idea? Terry Don't look at me when you say that. It wasn't my fault what

happened to Joey. Fixing him wasn't my idea.

Edie Who said it was? Terry Everybody's putting the needle on me. You and the mugs in

the church and Father Barry. I didn't like the way he was looking at me.

Edie He was looking at everybody the same way. Terry Oh, yeah? What's with this Father Barry? What's his racket? Edie His racket? Terry Yeah, his racket. Everybody's got a racket. Edie But he's a priest. Terry Are you kidding, so what? That don't make no difference. –Edie You don't believe anybody, do you? Terry Down here it's every man for himself. It's keeping alive.

It's standing with the right people so you get...a little bit of change in your pocket.

Edie And if you don't? Terry lf you don't? Right down. Edie It's living like an animal. Terry I'd rather live like an animal than end up like.... Edie Like Joey? Are you afraid to mention his name? Terry No. Why do you keep harping on that for? Come on, drink up.

We gotta get little fun out of life. Come on. I'll stick some music on. What's the matter? What's the matter with you?

Edie Help me if you can for God's sake. Terry Edie, I'd like to help. I'd like to help, but there's

nothing I can do. Edie All right. I shouldn't have asked you. Terry Edie, come on. Have a little beer. Come on. Edie I don't want it. You just stay here and finish your drink. Terry Don't go. I've got my whole life to drink. Are you sore at

me?Edie What for? Terry I don't know, for not being no help to you. Edie You would if you could. Bride Here I come.Guest Pick a winner. Guest First I got to kiss the bride. Guest Go on, you've kissed her before! Terry You can get out that way. You want me to take you? Guest Come on. What's going on here? –Guest Give me a cigarette. Guest You've got to stop smoking so much. Terry Come on, we'll get out through here. What's the matter? Come on. Edie That's a pretty tune. Terry Here's a stick of gum. It'll do you good. Edie Thank you. Terry Do you like that music? If I had my tuxedo, I'd ask you to

dance, but.... Come on. You want to spin? Come on, don't be afraid. You dance divinely. I think we're doing pretty good. The sisters ought to see you now.

Edie Wait a minute. I feel like I'm just floating. I'm just floating. Just floating. Punk I been looking all over for you, Terry. The boss wants you. Terry Right now?

Punk Yeah, he just got a call from "Mr. Upstairs." Something's gone wrong. He's plenty hot.

Terry I'm going to take her home first. Punk I wouldn't do that. I'll see the little lady home. Terry Tell him I'll come over there when I'm ready.

Hey, wait up! Edie Who was that? Terry I don't know. Some mug. Edie Who was he? Terry You got to quit trying to find out about Joey. It ain't

safe. I'm telling you it ain't safe. Glover Mr. Malloy, I was hoping I might find you here. Excuse me,

Miss. Glover You're being served with a subpoena, Mr. Malloy. Terry What? Glover Be at the State House, Courtroom 9 : Friday morning. Terry I told you I don't know nothing about that. Glover You can bring a lawyer if you wish. You're privileged under

the constitution to protect yourself... ...against questions which might implicate you in any crimes.

Terry You know what they're asking me to do? Gillette All we want you to do, Mr. Malloy, is tell the truth. Glover Good night, kid. Nice wedding. Edie What are you going to do? Terry I ain't going to eat cheese for no cop and that's for sure.Edie It was Johnny Friendly who had Joey killed, wasn't it? He

had him killed or he had something to do with it, didn't he? He and your big brother, Charley? You can't tell me, can you, because you're a part of it. Because you're just as bad as the worst of them. Tell me the truth, Terry.

Terry You better go back to that school out in Daisyland You're driving yourself nuts, you're driving me nuts. Quit worrying about the truth all the time. Worry about yourself.

Edie I should've known you wouldn't tell me. Pop said Johnny Friendly used to own you. I think he still owns you. No wonder everybody calls you a bum.

Terry Don't say that to me, Edie, don't say that to me now. Edie No wonder. Terry I'm only trying to help you out. I'm trying to keep you

from getting hurt. What more do you want me to do? Edie Much more. Terry Wait a minute. Edie Much, much, much more.

Johnny Where are you going? Terry Hi there, Johnny, I was just coming over there.Johnny Where were you, in Chicago? Terry No, I was just on my way over there. Johnny How many times you been knocked out, Terry? Terry Knocked out? Two times. Johnny That's once too often. Your brains must be rattling. What

you got up there, Chinese bells? I thought you were gonna keep an eye on that church meeting.

Terry I was there. Nothing was happening. Johnny Nothing happening! Some operator you got yourself there.

One more like him, we'd all be wearing striped pyjamas. Terry I'm telling you, Johnny, it was a big nothing. The priest

did all the talking.

Johnny Half an hour later, a certain Timothy J. Dugan had a secret

session... with the crime commission, and he done all the talking.

Terry Well, Dugan, what does he know? Johnny Just 39 pages of our operation, that's all. Terry Where'd you get that? Johnny I got it. –Charley The complete works of Timothy J. Dugan. Terry I knew he had the guts, but I never-- Johnny Guts! Why, that crummy pigeon. He ought to have his neck

wrung! That's what we get for mixing with this punch-drunk brother of yours. He was good for laughs, but this is business. I don't like anyone goofing off in my business.

Terry I wasn't—Charley Why are you going around with his sister? Just shut up! Look Johnny,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. Punk Definitely! Johnny Get rid of her....unless you're both tired of living. You

got her address? Charley Yeah. Johnny 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 hole. No more cushy job in the loft. It's down in the hole with the sweat gang till you learn your lesson. Let's go.

Charley Wise up!

Pop Come on, you're all right. Let's do it. Dugan At last an Irish shipment. And loaded to the gunnels with

fine Irish whiskey. Pop You see, Kayo, the good Lord takes care of us all the time. Dugan That he does. Big Mac Come on out, Kayo, get it up. Dugan All right, take it up. Take it away. Big Mac And don't go walking off with any of that! You know how the

boss feels about individual pilferage. Dugan All right, all right. Now you see the advantage of a little

man in a big coat. Terry Let me see you a minute afterwards. Dugan What're you here for? To see that we don't steal any of Mr.

Friendly's precious cargo? Terry I want to talk to you. Dugan Get away from me, will you? All right. Take it up. Take it

away. Voice Kayo, you're a walking distillery. Voice Watch it! Worker Get a doctor! Pop He don't need a doctor. He needs a priest. Fr Barry I came down here to keep a promise. I gave Kayo my word

that if he stood up to the Mob....l'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.

Worker Go back to your church, Father. Fr Barry Boys, this is my church.

If you don't think Christ is down here on the waterfront... ...you've got another guess coming! Tillio Get off this dock, Father! Terry Tillio, don't do that. -Tillio Whose side are you on, boy? Terry Let him finish. Fr Barry 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 kids. He sees you selling your souls to the mob for a day's pay.

Pop The next bum that throws something deals with me! I don't care if he's twice my size!

Fr Barry 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?

Tillio Shut up about that! Tillio Just watch this. (Terry punches Tillio) Thug You see that? Fr Barry 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 to Joey and to Dugan....they're doing to you and 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. Big Mac All right. Come on. Let's go. Break it up. Let's go to

work. Moose Edie, here's Joey's jacket. I'm sure Kayo would wish you to

have it back.

Pigeon loftEdie Terry, Terry, I brought you Joey's jacket. Yours is coming

apart.Pigeons.

Terry They're nervous. There was a hawk around here before. … Edie

They kiss

Terry Father, I want to speak to you a minute. Remember what you said about ...Kayo Dugan and keeping your

mouth shut when you know the score. Fr Barry I don't want to hear your confession. I'll dig it out for

myself and use it where it'll do the most good. Father Gregory will hear you.

Terry I don't want to talk.... Outside church Terry Wait a second, wait a minute. I just want to talk to you

one second. You've got to listen to me. I'm the one that set Joey Doyle up for the knock off.

Fr Barry Come on, take a walk with me, kid, and give it to me straight. There's nothing I haven't heard. Come on.

Terry It started out as a favour. Favour, who am I kidding? It's "do it or else." Believe me when I tell you I just thought they were... ...going to lean on him a bit. I never thought he'd get knocked off. I tried to tell Edie the other night. I really tried to, I wanted to tell her. She's the first nice thing that's ever happened to me.

Fr Barry What are you going to do about it? Terry What do you mean? About telling her? Fr Barry Yes, about telling her. The commission. Your subpoena. I know you got a subpoena. Terry I don't know. It's like carrying a monkey around on your

back. Fr Barry It's a question of "who rides who." Terry D’you if I spill, my life ain't worth a nickel. Fr Barry And how much is your soul worth if you don't? Terry They're asking me to put the finger on my own brother.

Johnny Friendly used to take me to ball games when I was a kid.

Fr Barry Ball games! Don't break my heart. I wouldn't care if he gave you a life pass to the polo grounds. So you've got a brother. Let me tell you something...you've got other brothers getting the short hand...while Johnny is 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 own conscience has to do the asking.

Terry Conscience. That stuff can drive you nuts. Fr Barry Good luck. Terry Hey, is that all you've got to say?Fr Barry 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. Terry Okay.

Thanks.

Edie You?

Terry Honest to God Edie.... His voice is blocked by the sound of a ship’s siren. Believe me, I swear to God, Edie...

Tommy Terry, guess who's here? That joker from the crime

commissioner's office. Terry Suppose I knew a guy that knocked somebody off... ...you think I ought to turn him in? Tommy You mean call a cop? Are you kidding? Terry You don't think I ought to turn him in? Tommy You was a Golden Warrior once. Terry That's right. Tommy You started the gang.Terry You looking for me? Glover No, not exactly. I was just resting my dogs a minute. On

the next investigation we get, I hope it's got buildings with elevators in them. So far this one's just been climbing stairs.

Terry What do you climb them for? Glover It's worth it if we can tell the waterfront story ...the way the people have a right to hear it. Don't you

think? Didn't I see you in the Garden three or four years ago...with a fellow named Wilson? I thought you were going to take him that night. Man, he really dumped you.

Terry He dumped me? What would you say if I told you I held that bum up for half a round?

Glover I could see he was hurt. Terry What did you think I was doing with them combinations,

petting him? Glover You just couldn't finish him off? Terry Don't monkey around there. Glover Why didn't you finish him off? Terry I was doing a favour for some pals. Gover Favour?Terry That's the way it was. Glover That's the way it was. Terry If I'd have put him down, I'd have had a title shot. I was

ready that night. Glover You sure looked it. That's when I figured it was all over. Terry It was all over, except for the lousy bet! My own …. Glover Yeah. I guess I'd better get going. Hit those stairs again.

Say, was that a hook or an uppercut you caught him with that first time?

Terry I didn't use no hooks. I was strictly a short puncher. Glover It looked like a hook to me. Terry I had that bum all figured out. He had a good left hand. I

let him tag me with the left hand for a couple of round...so just when he starts, he thinks he's getting cute, I step inside a jab...with a left, with a right, with a left. I had him in my arms and from there on in we were just dancing. And that's a fact! When those guys want to win a bet, there's nothing they won't stop at.

JP I didn't hear them, boss....but I saw seen them nose to nose, like pair of lovers. The flatfoot was eating it up.

Charley They've been seen together and he smiled at her. That doesn't mean he's going to talk. There is no evidence until he gives public testimony.

Johnny Thanks for the legal advice, Charley. That's what we always kept you around here for. How do we keep him from giving this testimony? Ain't that what you call "the main order of business"?

Charley He's a good kid. You know that. Big Mac He's a bum. After all the days I gave him in the loft, he's

got no gratitude. Charley Shut up! Johnny Mac, I'm conducting this investigation. Charley This girl and the father, they got their hooks....in the

kid so deep he doesn't even know which end is up any more. Johnny I ain't interested in his mental condition. All I want to

know is: is he D and D or is he a canary? Charley I wish I knew. Johnny So do l, Charley. For your sake. Charley What do you want me to do? Johnny It's simple. Drive him out to this place we've been

using... try to straighten him out on the way. If you don't, give him to Gerry G.

Charley You can't do that. Maybe the boy is out of line, but he's just a confused kid!

Johnny Confused kid! First he crosses me in public and gets away with it...then the next joker, pretty soon I'm just another fellow around here!

Charley Johnny, I can't do that. Johnny Then don't. Punk Who do you like in the third? Big Mac lt's got to be New Hope. Punk Definitely.Charley Johnny......it's my kid brother. Johnny That's for you to figure out. You can have it your way or

you can have it his way....but you can't have it both ways. Am I right, Truck?

Truck Definitely. Johnny Okay, on your horse... ...deep thinker. In cab Terry Hi, Charley. I'm glad you stopped by for me. I've been

wanting to talk to you. Charley Sure, kid. Driver Where to? Charley Go to River St. I'll tell you where to stop. Terry I thought we was going to the Garden? Charley We are, but I want to cover a bet on the way over. Besides,

this'll give us a chance to talk. Terry Nobody ever stopped you from talking, Charley. Charley The grapevine says that you got a subpoena. The guys know

you're not a cheese-eater. They think you shouldn't be on the outside so much.....but a little on the inside .. have a few little things for you at the docks.

Terry A steady job...a couple extra potatoes, that's all I want. Charley That's great when you're a kid, but...you're getting on,

you're pushing slugger. You know it's time to think about getting some ambition.

Terry I always figured I'd live a little bit longer without it. Charley Maybe. Look, there's a boss loader slot that's open on the

new pier we're opening up. It pays six cents on every. 100... pounds that goes in and every 100 pounds that goes out......and you don't have to lift a finger.That's $

$ 2 $ 3, $400 a week. $ 400 a week just for the openers .

Terry I get all that dough for not doing nothing? Charley You don't do anything and you don't say anything. You

understand? Terry There's more to this than I thought, Charley. I'm telling

you there's a lot more. Charley You're not thinking of testifying against some people that

we might know? Terry I don't know, Charley. I’m tellin you That's what I want to

talk to you about. Charley Do you know how much the piers are worth that we control

through the local? Do you think Johnny's going to jeopardise the whole set-up....for one rubber-lipped, ex-tanker who's walking on his heels? What the....

Terry I could've been a lot better. Charley The point is we don't have much time! Terry I'm telling you, I haven't made up my mind yet! Charley Make up your mind before we get to 437 River St! Terry Before we get to where, Charley? Before we get to Charley Listen, Terry. Take the job, no questions. Take it! Terry, take this job, please. Please take it.Terry Charley, Charley, oh Charley, wowCharley Look, kid....How much do you weigh, slugger? When you weighed 168 pounds ...you were beautiful. You

could have been another Billy Conn. That skunk we got you for a manager.....he brought you along too fast.

Terry It wasn't him, Charley. It was you. Remember that night in the Garden? You came down to my dressing room and said, "Kid, this ain't your night." We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night." My night! I could have taken Wilson apart! So what happens, he gets the title shot outdoors in the ball park. ...and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palookaville! You was my brother, Charley. You should have looked out for me a little bit. You should've taken care of me a little bit so I wouldn'.have to take dives for short-end money.

Charley I had some bets down for you. You saw some money. Terry You don't understand, I could have had class! I could have

been a contender. I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum... .which is what I am. Let's face it. It was you, Charley!

Charley Okay. Okay. I'll tell them......I couldn't find you. Ten to one they won't believe me. Here, you take this. (Gives gun) You're going to need it. You, pull over. Take me to the Garden.

Edie’s apartment and room Terry EdieCharlie Stay away from me! Terry Edie? Come on, open the door, please! Edie Stop it. I want you to stay away from me. Terry I know what you want me to do but I ain't doing it, so

forget it. Edie I don't want you to do anything. You let your conscience

tell you what to do. Edie Shut up about that conscience, that's all I've been

hearing! Edie I never mentioned the word before. You just stay away from

me! Terry Edie, you love me.
