behind a corner, clutching a length of steel pipe,
watching them.
MAHONEY

Come on ••• come on.
When they get within a few yards, Mahoney takes a doep
breath and steps ;,.round the corner. Mahoney CLANGS the
STEEL PIPE against the METAL GR/I.TING coveriug a shop
window. It makes a hell of a racket. Mahoney ~cre~m5
like he's crazy. The gang merabers halt. They watch him

passes a shop window. It's the lighting store. Inside,
the Merchant is up on a step ladder, hanging up a new
chandelier. With an animal cry, Mahoney throws the pipe
through the window. The Merchant is so startled he grabs
the chandelier, kicking the ladder aside. He hangs on
for dear life as the ALARMS sound. Mahoney runs. The
chandelier drops.

accent.

shocked to see Mahoney, but says nothing. Sistrunk

Mahoney to frisk him, and as he doos, Mahoney grabs
Sistrunk by the wrist, pins his arm behind his back and
