It's late on a Sunday night in New York and Mark Potter, a local gambler, is driving home after hitting a few of the night spots when a large sedan pulls alongside his car on a deserted street. Potter pulls over to let the sedan pass by, but instead of passing, it starts crowding him and forcing him toward the curb. Mark says "Hey, what's the idea? Why don't you look where your...." Upon seeing Murray Ross and Hilliard step out of the sedan, Potter says "Oh, hello Murray". He says "Hello, Potter. Yeah, I'm disappointed in you Potter. Hillard tells me to turn down our proposition". Potter says "Yeah, it's just....well I thought...." Murray says "You didn't think so good. Come on, get out". Potter says "Hey, what's the idea?" Murray says "Get out or do I have to help you?" When Potter steps out, Murray says "Alright, Hilliard, hold him". Potter says "Look fellows, if you'll just let me...." At that moment, Potter catches one across the face, then Murray continues to beat him up. A few days later, Murray goes to see his girlfriend, Sue Sanders. As he walks through her front door, Sue says "Murray, don't you believe in knocking?" Murray says "If you want privacy, keep your door locked". Sue says "I thought it was". Murray says "Well, you should be more careful, Sue. Well, where do you think you're going?" Sue says "On a little trip". Murray says "Looks more like a big trip. You've cleaned out the closet". Sue says "If I want to go away...." Murray says "From me? You wouldn't do that Baby Doll". Sue says "I saw the paper. That man has three broken ribs". Murray says "What man?" Sue says "You know what man, everybody knows you did it". Murray says "Look, I don't want to talk about it just stay in here understand?" Sue says "No". Murray slaps her and says "You're not going anywhere, start unpacking".
