you'll be glad if it's only a little nitroglycerin that gits you. Hired us for two and a half, did you? FRANKEL: My goodness, I rose you to three this morning! POLENSKI: Yes; rose us to three! What do we care you rose us to four, to five, to six. Look what the rest you loafers here at this table is gittin'! SALVATORE: Here, don't you bring us in this! POLENSKI [_half screaming_]: I won't? Every one of you is in his class. [_Points at_ FRANKEL.] You sit up here and call yourself a committee, dividin' up the money and runnin' this factory that belongs just as much to us men he hired as it does to you! It belongs to us _more_--because we're the real workin'men! [_Beats his chest._] My God! Don't the toilers' wrongs _never_ git avenged? Are we _always_ goin' to be wage slaves? We demand simple justice. We been workin' here two dollars and a half a day, now we want the wage scale abolished and double profits for each of us for every day we worked here before we found out what was goin' on, with you sittin' up here like kings in your robes, tellin' the poor man he should have only two dollars and a half a day--sittin' up here in your pomp with your feet on the neck of labour! [_To_ CARTER]: _You_, in your fine broadcloth, ridin' up and down the avenues in limousines with never a thought for the toiler! Don't think for a minute we deal with this little vampire here. You're all in the same boat, and the toiling masses will hold every single one of you just as responsible as it does him, you--you capitalists! [_Instantly upon this the door is opened enough to admit the heads of two wops very similar to_ POLENSKI.] FIRST WOP: Parasites! SECOND WOP: Bloodsuckers! POLENSKI: Capitalists, parasites, bloodsuckers, bourgeoisie! Do you think we expect any justice out of _you_? Do you think I come in this room ever dreaming you'd grant our demands? No! We knew you! And if we do assert our rights, what do you do? You set your hellhounds of police on us! Haven't we been agitatin' for our rights among you for days? We've got our answer from you, but you look out for ours, because as sure as there is a hell waitin' for all parasites, we'll send you there, and your factory, too! [_Looks up at the clock._] My God, is that clock right? [_He runs out at top speed._] SIMPSON: They don't seem to know their place! SHOMBERG: Them fellers think they own the earth. RILEY: Next, they'll be thinkin' they own our factor
