F.I.S.T.

Hey, hurry up. Let's go.

All right, boys, all I need is one guy.

You!

You're big enough. What's your name?

Dombrowsky, Sir.

Huh?

Dombrowsky, Sir. I'm Polish.

Polish! All right, get in there, Polack.

Sorry, boys, that's enough.

One more.

Come on.

My name is Mr. Gant.

Payday is every Friday.

All right, now,

You stay here as long as I want you to.

If the, uh, delivery don't get here

until 10:00 at night, you stay till 10:00,

but you only get paid 8 hours, period.

If you get sick, that's too bad.

Do you understand?

Yes, Sir, Mr. Gant.

And if you drop any of the stuff,

If you ruin the merchandise, that's out of your pay.

It's company policy.

Yes, Sir.

All right, boys, we've got a lot stuff coming in.

Roll it out!

Kovak, I want you to put Mr. Dombrowsky here to work.

Hey, Kovak,

that don't belong to you.

We get in there at 5:00,

get out at 7:00,

end up working 14 hours.

Work 14 and you get paid for 8.

It's a living.

It's crap.

It's a crap life, that's what it is.

It's a job, Johnny.

To you it's a job. To me it's crap.

I've been working hard all day,

and I don't need to be hangin' around with no sour bohunk.

And they got this buzzer, ma.

Buzzer?

Buzzer, buzzer, buzzer, bzz, buzzer.

They got this buzzer.

Someday I wanna tear that buzzer out

by the roots and give it to you.

Don't break nothing!

They pay you the money.

We're gonna buy mansions up in the heights, right, Abe?

Big heights.

Come on, all the companies got buzzers.

You're a lot of help.

Don't start trouble, Johnny.

Give it to him, ma.

Always some trouble. Your friends never complain.

That's right. He never complains.

What's the matter with you?

Your pa,

he never complained.

Oh, kiss my buzzer, will you?

Dombrowsky, you havin' trouble with your back?

No, Sir, Mr. Gant.

Then take more of those crates.

Kovak, load him up.

Come on. Come on.

He can take more than that. More.

All right, now keep moving.

We haven't got all day.

That's 4 crates of tomatoes out of your pocket, Polack.

- The company says... - But you made me put 'em there, Sir.

You break 'em, you pay for 'em.

That's company policy.

Did you hear me?

I heard you, Sir.

All right.

Get down there and pick 'em up, boy.

And hurry it up. We're runnin' late.

Come on, we'll get 'em up.

Belkin! Put the good ones in here.

Get back to work.

Put the bad ones in here.

That's bad. Bad.

What do you guys think you're doin'?

Get back to work! All of you!

Samuels.

Didn't you hear me?

Samuels.

Samuels, you're fired!

Get your voucher, you're through.

I...I didn't hear you, Mr. Gant.

Get out! Get out! You're fired!

Johnny.

Tell him, Johnny,

I didn't hear him. I didn't.

Don't you think you'd better get this fish inside

before it spoils?

What's it to you, Mac?

The name's Monahan, Mike Monahan.

Why don't you mind your own business?

It is my business.

It's gonna spoil if you don't get it inside.

What do we care?

I want the wagon unloaded.

Why don't you come up here and do it yourself?

Well, I'm the driver. Hey!

Well, it's not my job either.

What are you guys trying to pull?

You know where that stuff goes. Get it inside!

We don't need any lazy bastards

around here, you hear me, Belkin?

And you too, Kovak. You're another...

you call me a bastard, I'll lay you out.

Eh.

Well, I guess a job don't mean nothin' to a rich man like you.

That's out of your pay, Kovak.

What the hell do you think you're doin'?

I wanna see boss Andrews.

I'll give you Andrews. You're fired, Kovak!

You get the hell out of here!

Go get Andrews!

Andrews! Andrews!

Andrews! Andrews! Andrews!

I'm glad you told me about this.

You've got some legitimate complaints.

Let's agree on this.

From now on,

Gant here can't fire anyone without my approval.

How's that?

Well, how about havin' to pay for something you dropped by accident?

From now on, anything that's accidentally damaged,

you don't have to pay for.

What about overtime?

Being paid waiting for deliveries?

I won't lie to you. That's out of my hands.

I'll have to talk to my superiors.

All right?

We'll try to be fair.

But to be fair all around,

you fellows will go back to work

and move that load inside, right away.

Wait, wait, how...how do we know you're gonna talk to 'em

about the extra pay? How do we know that?

You have my word.

By the way, Mr. Kovak, I'd like to praise you

for bringing this matter to my attention.

The problems will be corrected.

Do we have a deal?

The idea is not to go back to work until the...

I'll go along with Johnny.

Ok.

All right, we got a deal.

Here's to Johnny Kovak!

No, no. Lincoln Dombrowsky!

Abe Lincoln!

How about another round?

Looky there, here's a new face.

What's your name? Another round?

Another round.

Put it around, Johnny. Put it around,

Yeah, you break it,

you pay for it.

Look at those rosy cheeks. Are you Irish?

What of it? What of it?

Why don't you take your hands off of me,

and be a gentleman like your friend here?

Oh!

Gentleman, are my hands no good?

You're a gentleman?

Hey, Johnny! You come on now,

we wrestle.

Come on, for a nickel.

Well I'll tell you, Jugs, it's been kind of a hard day,

but Abe is feeling good.

you wanna wrestle Jugovich?

Come on, come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on, Abe.

Ok. All right. Put it down here.

Come on, put the nickel down.

Who's on me?

- Come on. - Go on.

I don't wanna hurt you, Jugs.

I think you need a little bit more arm there, Abe.

Get it down there.

All right. Zigi, you ready.

Ok, fellows. Are you ready?

Start it, Zig.

Go!

Look who is here: Vince Doyle!

And look at that big-shot suit he's got on.

Mm-mm-mmm.

You slumming, Vince?

No, I just got a little business

to talk over with Zigi here.

Hey, Vince, you hear about us at the company?

Listen, Vince, Johnny had their backs to the wall.

We almost had a walkout.

We won, Vince.

What did you win, kid?

Zigi, set these guys up.
