That’s right, Annie. I swore I’d pay him for that one-way ticket to the big house. You wouldn’t want me to renay on a dept, would you?
No Cooper’s gonna get me, Annie. I had a long time to think about it. [Angary] Five long years in a cheese box. All I could think of was catching with Cranston, five long years! [Pause] I ain’t passin’ up the chance now…
That’s what you think. This guy Cranston pulls plenty of wait with the cops. Eh? They all know he’s a body of Commissioner Weston, don’t they?
When I get in the clear Annie, I tattoo my initials on Cranston with a forty-five.
Well, well. If it ain’t my old friend Lamont Cranston. I’ve been looking forward to seeing you again pal.
So, you know of me, eh? Good. We’ve got a… mutual friends, Ms. Lane. I’m going to use you to... stage a reunion.
See, a guard at the prison died this morning Ms. Lane. I’ve got nothing to lose. They can only hang me once! [Pause] Well?

[Worried] We’re almost up to the roadblock Rocco. What are we gonna do?
Not here, Rocco. There might be another roadblock. Can’t you wait till we get to the hideout?
Don’t think we have to stay out here any longer than we have too.

Ah… Mr. Cranston. Alone today? The fair Ms. Lane is not with you?
Oh…. Very disappointing, Mr. Cranston. Very disappointing.
She dropped out of sight five years ago, Mr. Cranston. Lives a very good life. Not a thing on her.
[Clears throat] May I know what you want with her, Mr. Cranston? Hate to bother a girl who’s gone straight you know.
[Stutters] Rocco? Reegan? [Dodgy, Quickly] Well, good day Mr. Cranston. My regards to the charming Ms. Lane.
[Stutters] B-B-B-B-But…. Rocco is a killer. Besides, what makes you think this girl is going to lead you to him?
[Worried] But, Rocco…. You sure you wouldn’t like to know about somebody else? Gunner boy, Mr. Cranston?
[Clears throat] Her name’s Annie de la Tour now. Sweet girl, very sweet girl.
Annie? Annie, has an apartment on University Place. Third house from the corner, top floor, a dozen exits, over the roof, and away like that.
Oh…. Haven’t thought of it. Oh…. No no no no…. Can’t be. Too small. Besides, Annie must have a place outside of town. Spends weekends in someplace. Never in town.
Splendid, Mr. Cranston. Splendid. Uh…. By the way, if you do happen to see El Rocco, be sure not to give him my regards.

[Shocked] What?
Business- [Annoyed] Not that guy “Cranston” you’re always talking about?
Okay, so you recognize me. But that was five years ago and I’ve gone straight. [Annoyed] You cops have-
What… What are you doing then? Auditioning a quiz show? Who are you anyhow?
No. I gave up reading the funny papers when I found out orphan Annie was merely a midget.
[Annoyed] Look, I don’t know how you found me after all these years but, it won’t do you any good. I don’t know anything!
You sick that homely pany of yours any closer and I’ll carve my life history on it, dream boy. You scare me about as much as-
