Sooner or later you're gonna be fine
Baby, it's time that you faced it
I always get my man
All right, listen to me. Get over to 132 Broad Street.
- 132 Broad Street. - But if you resist, babe - Okay, 132 Broad Street.
- Right, Bug. - The challenge delights me
The more you resist, babe the more it excites me
Dick Tracy has struck tonight and he has struck hard...
- And no one I've kissed, babe - right at the heart of the gang lord empire.
Ever fights me again
If you're on my list
It's just a question
Of when
When I get a yen
Then, baby, amen
I'm counting to ten
I'm gonna love you like nothin' you've known
I'm gonna love you and you all alone
Sooner is better than later
But, lover
I'll hover
I'll plan
This time I'm not only getting
I'm holding
My
Man
Tracy! Tracy! Tracy! Tracy!
Everywhere I turn...
it's Tracy, Tracy, Tracy!
It's like he's readin' my mind.
Texie Garcia, Ribs Mocca, Johnny Ramm and now de Santo-- I don't get it.
How could he catch 'em so fast? I don't understand. He knows what we're doin' before we do it!
You said you had a way of taking care of Tracy. "Leave it to me," you said. Well, let me tell you somethin'.
I'm takin' this bum out of the headlines. I'm rubbin' him out.
You kill Tracy, they point the finger at me. This bum--
Hold it, hold it.
We're bein' bugged. We're bein' bugged.
We're bein' bugged. We're be-- Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Hey, Mike, what'd you put in this chili, melted rubber?
Sometimes I wonder why I slave over a hot stove for you, Tracy.
Okay, Freddy.
Get down to the Southside Warehouse. Big pay-off.
Tracy, I'm-- I'm leavin'.
I used to be afraid that maybe you'd never take some time and settle down...
and now I know it.
- I knew you'd never want a desk job, Tracy. - Calling Dick Tracy.
Calling Dick Tracy. Do you read me, Tracy?
You got Big Boy on the run now, and that's good.
Calling Dick Tracy. Calling Dick Tracy.
Tracy, good luck.
Come in, Tracy. This is Bug Bailey. Do you read me?
- What is it, Bug? - There's somethin' goin' on at the Southside Warehouse.
It sounds big. Really big.
Go on.
Tracy, come in.
- Go on. - Tracy, are you there?
- You better get over there, Tracy. - I'm on my way.
I'll be back, Tess.
Reload.
All right! All right, that's enough! I want 'em dead, both of them.
I want this No-Face dead, and I want Tracy dead.
What's the matter? You bums forgot how to kill people?
Doesn't your work mean anything to you any more?
Have you no sense of pride in what you do?
No sense of duty? No sense of destiny?
I'm lookin' for generals! What do I got? Foot soldiers.
I want Dick Tracy dead!
Don't get me wrong, Tracy. If you say there was a man with no face, I'll bet the mortgage there was.
- But who is he workin' for? - Yeah, who's he workin' for?
I don't know, boys, but I didn't dream him up. Would you get my suit cleaned? We need a witness who will testify.
- A man with no face? - A man with no face.
What can you lose, Big Boy? What can you lose?
I don't know, Big Boy. It seems they want to get rid of the Tracy problem as much as you.
And it'll only cost you ten percent. What can you lose?
Okay, piano player. You got a deal.
Mike, give the Kid a doughnut.
- Hi, Tracy. - Hi, Tracy. - Hi, Tracy.
- Which one? - Where's Tess? - She's out of town.
- She asked me if the boys could take care of the Kid till... - Jelly.
- they take him to the orphanage. - There's no jelly in that doughnut.
- Okay. - Tess went out of town, huh? - Sorry, Tracy. I thought you knew.
Want me to take the Kid back to the precinct?
-No, Chief. Thanks a lot for fillin' in. -Okay. Good night.
- What can you lose - Good night.
- Caught with the blues - Tracy. Want a doughnut?
- Uh, yeah. Thanks. Mike, let me have a coffee, will ya? - Now keep concealing
- Everything you're feeling - Coffee?
- Sayin' to ya - And one for me too.
What can you lose
Maybe it shows
She's had clues
Which she chose to ignore
Maybe, though, she knows
And just wants to go on as before
As a friend, nothin' more
So she closes the door
Well, if she does
Those are the dues
Once the words are spoken something may be broken
Still you love her
What can you lose
But what if she goes
At least now you have part of her
What if she had to choose
Leave it alone
Hold it all in
Let her alone
Don't even begin
With so much to win
There's too much
To lose
Cheer up, Tracy. I'm the one in danger.
I shouldn't be talking to a cop.
- You know what I want. - I want to hear you say it.
- Well, I don't want you to be hurt. - Don't tell me what you don't want.
Tell me what you do want.
You want me.
Don't you?
You're right. I do want you, in court where you can tell the truth--
You're lying. You want me the same way that I want you.
You want me to take a risk? I want you to take a risk.
I told you I'd protect you if you testified.
- Protect me? You ca-- - It's my job. - I don't know about your job.
I only know what I feel.
If you can't tell me how you feel, Tracy, then I can't trust you.
Wait a minute. What do you want me to admit?
That I think about you?
Okay, I admit it. Testify.
You want my testimony? Tell me you want me.
If you do that, I'll do anything you say. How bad do you want Big Boy?
It's up to you. Tell me you want me.
Tell me you want it all, but tell me now.
If I say that, I'm gonna hurt somebody I don't want to hurt.
You trust her.
I love her.
He could be president of the United States...
and he'd call it a desk job.
Dick Tracy's awfully tough on himself.
He's torn, Tess. He's torn between love and duty.
If you get too close to a man like that, you probably won't be treated...
much better than he treats himself.
It takes a lot of understanding to love a man like that.
What did you say, Mother?
I said, "It takes a lot of understanding to love a man like that."
He'll never take a desk job.
This--
Yeah?
Sit down, will you.
Sam, Mrs Trueheart said Tess left there a long time ago.
Has somebody checked Route Three for accidents?
Right, Tracy.
We gotta talk about this orphanage business.
- Who wants-- - Tracy, did you get the sketch?
Yes, I got the sketch. I got both sketches. They're both the same sketch.
Forget the sketch! Check Route Three for accidents!
- We're working on it, Tracy. - Don't work on it, do it!
- Right. - Right.
I sure hope she comes back to him. I've never seen him like this.
The welfare office called again.
I'm not supposed to keep you out of the orphanage.
Yes, and then send the letter to District Attorney Fletcher.
- Can you do it? - Oh!
- I can do anyone's handwriting. - All right. Tracy's handwriting.
Write this: "District Attorney Fletcher, I have evidence that will destroy you.
Bring $10,000 to room 429, Midway Hotel."
Bring $10,000...
to room 429, Midway Hotel.
If you want to stay alive, you'll do what Big Boy says.
That's not it! That's not it! Does Paddy O'Brien know she's missing?
- Yeah. - Was he the one? - That's not him.
- That's not it! That's not it! That's n-- What's that? - It's for you.
-Open it. -Pat, what about that guy from up north?
You hear anything about him? What's his name? Louie.
- Oh, yeah, Louie-- Louie the Louse. - Yeah. Where is he?
- Nah, he's in the pen, I think. - How long? - I can't do it, Kid. It's the law.
- Six months. - Flowers.
This is cold! Hey, who's on the coffee out there? Rip van Winkle?
-You can't even get a decent cup o-- -I don't know why it'd be cold. I mean--
- Tess wants to talk. Watch the Kid, boys. - Sure thing, Tracy.
Tracy, you got lilies. You want me to put 'em in some water? Tracy!
Tracy!
I'm here to pick up a child, case 38196.
I don't want to wait. I want the child now.
You're from the orphanage, ma'am?
Last night we had a date We stayed out late
I bought round after round
And just for you I played the fool
Yes, I was quite the clown
- Tess, where are you? - Words were spoken, hearts were broken
But now I hope you'll see
It was the whisky talkin', not me
I had myself a little flask
Tess?
Tess! Tess?
Relax, Tracy.
Just smell the flowers, and go to sleep.
It won't kill you. It won't even hurt you.
But your big career is over.
Hey! Close the darn door.
- One figure so d-- - Tracy, you're late.
Wait a minute. Who are you?
Mayor Tracy, Senator Tracy, Governor Tracy.
High political offices are being coupled with Tracy's name.
Surely, of all--
- Now? - Now.
You can't blackmail me, Dick Tracy!
Nobody does that to me! Nobody blackmails me!
You put that gun away! Who do you think you're dealing with, huh?
If I go to jail, you go to jail! I don't have to pay you!
I don't have to give you a dime! I don't have to give you a nickel, Dick Tracy!
You're nothin' but a punk! Tracy, that's all you are!
- You're a punk! Ain't nothin' but a street punk! - Police? Better send someone
- The Midway Hotel. - Put it away! Put it away! Put the gun away, Tracy!
...news as hot air and speculation.
Out!
Go around back!
Ah, yes, there's bad news tonight. It's worse than bad. It's heartbreaking.
Dick Tracy is in disgrace tonight.
Charges of blackmail and murder fill the hushed air.
And in the void, once more, is heard the rattle of chips as the wheel spins--
This is beautiful. I want to hang this on my wall.
I've gotta hand it to ya, 88! Your people did it.
They got Tracy out of the way. Keep him out of the way.
Boys, we're back in business!
Maybe I'll run for mayor myself.
Yesterday it seemed the world was about to end, didn't it
Looked as though we wouldn't last out the year
Yesterday, disaster waited around the bend
Well, my friend, spring is here
Back in business and ain't it grand
Let the good times roll
Yesterday things were out of hand
Now they're under control
Bye-bye, blues So long, adversity
Happiness, hello, hello, hello
Keep the status quo
Permanently so
Back again like a boomerang
Same old stand, same old gang
Back in business with a bang
Let the good times roll
Back in business, and ain't it grand
Let the good times roll
Back to normal, back to usual
Let the fun resume
No more doom and gloom
No more bust, just boom
Back in business, and overnight
In demand Well, all right
Business is just dynamite
Let the good times roll
Tracy didn't do it, Chief. I know he didn't do it.
Well, you did the right thing to call me, Kid.
Tracy's in real bad shape about Tess.
She's still missing, and we haven't a clue.
It looks like a kidnapping, but nobody's asked for a ransom.
- Tracy's the only one who can find her. - Judge said, "No bail."
He didn't do it, Chief. He didn't do it.
Why would somebody kidnap Tess and not even ask for a ransom?
If I can just get back on that street--
I'll leave you two alone for a minute. It'll be anytime now.
The state police will be comin' to transfer you from the city jail to the county jail in a little while.
How's the food?
Good.
- How's the food at the orphanage? - It's good.
- It'll be anytime now. - All right, Chief.
What a New Year's Eve, huh?
I got my permanent certificate.
But I thought you-- I thought you had to pick a name, didn't--
- I did. - But--
If it's all right with you.
It's all right with me.
It is.
Tess, I hope you like...
being alone with me.
Happy New Year.
- Here. Let me get that. - Okay. It's okay.
- Sorry, Tracy. - Happy New Year, Tracy. - Happy New Year, Tracy.
- What are you two doing here? - It's a long trip to county jail.
I'd say it would take at least eight hours to get there.
All right, boys. Call headquarters. Get 'em to send a car to 38th and Central.
And tell 'em there's something I want 'em to bring.
Hello, Mumbles! Who set me up, huh?
- I don't know, I don't know. - Look! - I'm looking at you.
Talk, you cockroach! Talk! Huh? Huh?
Okay, Pat.
Look.
Care for some water, Mumbles, huh?
This is Brandon speaking. Who's calling?
Do you want to put Big Boy in jail?
- Yes? - He's kidnapped Tess Trueheart.
- Go to 38th and Grand. - Now, wait a minute.
- Who is this? - Wait for a call. - Hello? Hello--
38th and Grand. That's the Club Ritz.
- Joe! - Yes, sir? - Get my car.
-Keep an eye on the kid till I get back. -Right, Chief.
You don't want to tell me who set me up, huh?
You want Big Boy to hear that?
What do you think, Mumbles?
Big Boy did it. Big Boy did it.
I'm innocent. I'm innocent.
Okay, Sam, let's take this and play it for Big Boy.
Uh, wait. Wait a minute. Uh, uh, uh, wait.
88 Keys, the piano man, set you up.
Big Boy paid him to get you out of the way.
Why would somebody kidnap Tess and not even ask for a ransom?
So what do we do? Grab 88 Keys or go straight for Big Boy?
Yeah, Tracy, what do we do? Grab 88 Keys or go straight for Big Boy?
Is the enemy of my enemy my friend, or the enemy of my friend my enemy?
- What? - Or the enemy of my enemy my enemy?
- What did he say? - The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
He said the enemy of his enemy is his enemy.
Oh.
Caprice speaking. Who is this?
How long since you took a look in your attic, Big Boy?
Who is this?
Better take a look around upstairs. Something's fishy.
Okay, Sam, you take the front.
- We're going to the roof. - Tracy, why are we going to the roof?
I don't know. It seems like a good place to hide.
Can you get through to Chief Brandon?
Big Boy, I think you ought with come with me, quick.
Tracy, why are we going to the roof?
This is Chief Brandon.
Jumpin' Jiminy, Tracy. That's Tess!
- Break that lock. - Okay, Tracy. Okay. Lemme just--
- What's she doing here? - It won't budge, Tracy.
- What is this? - It's Tracy's dame!
- What's she doin' here? How'd she-- How'd she get in here? - Tracy!
Untie her! Come on! We gotta get outta here! Untie her. Let's go!
- Get her outta here! - Don't shoot.
It's a frame-- It's a frame-up!
Somebody tried to make it look like we kidnapped her!
It's a federal offence! Come on! Come on!
- I'm okay, Tracy! - That's kidnapping, Big Boy!
It's a federal offence!
Things are not always what they seem. You're gonna pay for this.
- Easy! - Hey, anybody shoots, I shoot you, Sweet Pea! Come on!
Tracy, what's going on? Did you hurt yourself?
I gotta figure a way out of here, Pat.
Tracy, are you okay?
Got my diamonds
Got my yacht
Got a guy I adore
I'm so happy with what I got
I want more
No way out of this place.
You can't find a trapdoor or a panel that moves or something?
I'm looking, Pat. The ceiling must be 20 feet high.
Mathematician
All I know is addition
What are you doing down there?
Tracy, what are you doing down there?
Hey, boss, why are we surrounded by cops?
- Cops? - A billion of 'em! - This is it! Burn the records!
Lock all the doors! This is your fault.
They're forcing me to use you as a hostage. Break out the guns!
Geez, boss. Tracy-- Tracy's girl?
Someone set us up. They're gonna get us on a kidnapping rap.
- Gimme a tommy. - All of us! We gotta get outta here. - Get outta my way.
- Get outta my way! - I like Tracy.
- I had a meeting with him once. Did he tell you? - Come on, you.
- Let me tell you. I may just put a bullet through your head. - Let's go!
- What do you weigh, Pat? - I don't know. About 195, 196, something like that.
- How much? - Two-ten.
I find counting a bore
Keep the number mounting Your accountant does the counting
More, more
The only way to get into this joint, Chief, is to bust our way in.
- Jump. - What?
- Jump. - Jump?
- Music too - Keep your mouth shut, woman!
- You don't say nothing to nobody. - Just as much
- You may think they got us surrounded, - As before - but I'm gettin' out of this.
- I've got my guy and my sky of blue - Watch it. Move it, woman!
Now, however, I own the view
Come on. Just jump.
All right. This is it.
Come out with your hands over your head.
Them coppers are never gonna take me alive. We're making a break for it.
Come out with your hands over your heads.
This is it. The jig is up!
One is fun, why not two
And if you like two you might as well have four
And if you like four why not a few
Why not a slew more
Come on, let's go! ln the car! ln the car! Now!
Listen, you guys. When I hit my horn, that's the signal to go.
Okay, Big Boy. Let's give it to 'em, boys!
You gotta tell 'em everything. They crave leadership.
- You're under arrest. - Chief. - If you--
- Look at him. What's he doing up there? - Tracy!
If you've got a little why not a lot
Add a bit and it'll get to be an oodle
Every jot and tittle adds to the pot
Soon you got the kit as well as the caboodle, more
He does have Tess, but he won't bring her outta there. We gotta go in.
- Go in? - Give me that tommy gun, Sam.
Okay, hit your horn.
You bring your men--
Never settle for something less
Something's better than nothing, yes
This may get messy. You make a wrong move inside here, I blow your head off.
Big Boy!
Come on! Get outta there!
You know, sometimes I wonder why I try to improve things.
Nobody seems to care.
Pain can be valuable, Miss Trueheart. We learn from pain.
We learn from-- Don't make me push you!
This is awkward. This is so awkward. Here.
Let's go, men. Big Boy's inside. He's got Tess with him.
- I knew he wouldn't have the guts to come out. - Right, Tracy.
They say I kidnapped you. I didn't kidnap you.
But I'm kidnapping you now.
- Ah, does life imitate art? - Hey, Mr Caprice.
- So many questions, so few answers. - Mr Caprice.
What a way to usher in the new year.
He took her through there. The wine room.
Tracy, you don't trust me.
Tracy?
Good luck.
Thanks.
It was very stupid of you to have been lured into this scheme.
A big mistake.
Get 'em up, please.
It's not so much that I have to hurt someone. It's just don't make me do it!
- Ah, ya louse! - Come over here.
Believe me, this is not the way I wanted it to be.
There it is! The city! They'll never find me!
Can you hear its beat? Oh, the rhythm! Happy New Year, city!
Jump! We can make it! No! No, don't jump! We can't make it.
You'll pay for this. You're gonna pay for this.
Don't move! Not if you want to stay alive.
A woman, a woman, a woman!
I've been humiliated by a woman.
The way I see it-- and Plato agrees with me--
is that there is what is, and then there is what we would like it to be.
But that's not important. What's important is the future; it's planning ahead.
"A man without a plan is not a man."
Nietzsche. Wait a minute.
Wait. I'm having a thought.
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
I'm gonna have a thought. It's coming.
It's gone.
We must rise above the tide...
take that journey, that journey into that faraway land...
a land that just waits.
It waits by the track where the train of destiny must run...
run into the future, breaking the shackles of the past.
Forget the past. Forget the past. Our limitations are our shackles.
Put them behind you forever. Put them behind you forever, Tess.
Can't you see I love you?
Wait! What's that?
Hands up, copper! We gotta talk.
I did not kidnap this woman.
Drop that gun, or my next bullet's got her name on it!
- Don't do it, Dick! - Good. Good, Tracy.
What's that? Tracy!
Tracy. Tracy? Where are ya?
Where'd ya go?
What, are you playin' hide-and-seek? You're hidin' from me?
That's not fair. No way to be, Dick.
Come out, Tracy. These gears are turnin'.
You want this dumb dame's head to be smashed like a walnut?
Tracy, I did not kidnap this girl. Somebody's trying to frame me.
Where are you? Come on! Just let me see ya. I just wanna see your face.
I just wanna-- I just wanna talk some sense here. I wanna--
I just wanna take your head, and I wanna crack it like an egg!
No! No! I didn't mean that. No, Tracy. Listen to me.
Tracy, you hear that? What's happening to that can...
is going to be happening to her head in a few seconds!
There's not going to be any more beautiful hair to fondle, huh?
No, no ears to nuzzle.
You're gonna have chopped sweetheart, Tracy.
There. See those gears? Those gears are like a clock.
Every notch, ticktock--
Tracy!
Drop it, Big Boy!
Get your hands up, Tracy. Don't move, either one of ya.
I outsmarted ya, Big Boy. I knew you'd panic.
I brought you down with kidnapping, the only crime you didn't commit.
Whoever you are, I know we can make a deal.
A deal? I'm making my deal with Tracy.
Tracy, with Big Boy out of the way, we can own this town.
Pick up that pipe and kill him.
Pick it up!
Pick up that pipe.
Tracy, no!
Drop the gun!
I'll do it, Kid!
Don't move your head, Tess. I got it. It's okay. Don't turn your head.
Hey, Tracy, look.
Is he still alive?
Will you look at that.
Tess? Call an ambulance.
I'll call, Tess. I'll go get it.
You were right, Tracy. I couldn't pull the trigger.
It was a good plan, Breathless. You almost pulled it off.
- The city would've been yours. - Yeah. You were my only mistake.
Tell me the truth. Could it ever have happened between us?
But that's how we got him to confess that Breathless killed Fletcher.
- He was her piano player. - Not bad.
Thanks. Mm-hmm. You know, you're probably much too smart to need this...
but I think I'm gonna give it to you, anyway.
Gee!
Tracy! This-- Hey, it can-- W--
- Wow! - It tastes different, Mike. What'd you do, wash the bowl?
Ah, don't listen to him, Mike. It's just grand.
Except for the guy she goes out with, this lady's got real taste.
- Tess? - What?
I've been thinking.
- What about? - Well, you livin' alone and--
Well, I like living alone.
- Uh-huh. - We have that in common, I guess.
- Uh-huh. Uh-huh. - Well, don't we?
Well, I just think when two people have so much in common...
they oughta do somethin' about it.
- Would-- - Uh-oh.
Shut up, kid. And--
Uh...
don't--
Yes?
Uh--
Don't you think we'd be happier if we just--
What?
- What do you think? - Dick Tracy, are you asking me to--
Calling Dick Tracy. Pat Patton to Dick Tracy.
Robbery in progress, Tracy, Metropolitan Bank.
Hot diggity dog! Come on! Let's go!
Come on, Tracy! Let's go! Come on!
- Come on, Tracy! - Well, what are you waiting for?
A nice safe desk?
Tess.
You're one in a million.
This is amazing, Tracy! What are you waitin' for?
Come on. Let's go!
Come on. Metropolitan Bank. Come on. Step on it!
You know something, Tracy? I kinda like that dame.
Once upon a time I had plenty of nothin'
Which was fine with me because I had rhythm, music, love
The sun, the stars and the moon above
Had the clear blue sky and the deep blue sea
That was when the best things in life were free
Then time went by and now I get plenty of plenty
Which is fine with me 'cause I still got love
I still got rhythm, but look at what I got to go with 'em
Who could ask for anything more I hear you query
Who could ask for anything more Well, let me tell you
Dearie
Got my diamonds
Got my yacht
Got a guy I adore
I'm so happy with what I got
I want more
Count your blessings
One, two, three
I just hate keeping score
Any number is fine with me
As long as it's more
I'm no mathematician
All I know is addition
I find counting a bore
Keep the number mounting Your accountant does the counting
More
I got rhythm
Music too
Just as much as before
Got my guy and my sky of blue
Now, however, I own the view
More is better than nothing, true
But nothing's better than more, more, more
- Nothing's better than more - More
One is fun Why not two
And if you like two you might as well have four
And if you like four why not a few
Why not a slew more
If you got a little why not a lot
Add a bit and it'll get to be an oodle
Every jot and tittle adds to the pot
Soon you've got the kit as well as the caboodle
More
Never say when Never stop at plenty
If it's gonna rain, let it pour
Happy with ten Happier with twenty
If you like a penny wouldn't you like many much more
Or does that sound too greedy
That's not greed, no, indeedy
That's just stocking the store
Gotta fill your cupboard Remember Mother Hubbard
More
Each possession you possess
Helps your spirits to soar
That's what's soothing about excess
Something's better than nothing, yes
But nothing's better than more, more, more
Except all, all, all
Except once
You have it all
Have it all
You may find all else above
Else above
That though things
Are bliss
There's one thing you miss
And
That's
More
More, more, more, more, more
