[last lines]

Johnny O'Clock:
[injured with a gunshot wound, pointing a gun at Koch, catching him by surprise as he enters the room]
Don't bother raising your hands. Just keep 'em at your sides.
Inspector Koch:
You're out of your mind.
Johnny O'Clock:
That's right... crazy. Crazy smart.
Inspector Koch:
Put that gun down.
Johnny O'Clock:
I tell you what you're gonna do, Koch. You're gonna walk me out the front door, past everybody. If they stop us, you'll tell 'em I gave myself up, you arrested me.
Inspector Koch:
You think I'd say that.
Johnny O'Clock:
Listen to me. I got a bullet in my gut, and fire in my brain. It wouldn't take much for me to let you have it right now.
Nancy Hobbs:
[desperately in hearing Johnny's words as she rushes to his side]
Johnny, you don't know what you're doing. You don't know what you're saying.
Johnny O'Clock:
All I know is in this gun.
Inspector Koch:
All I know is that I got to bring you in. When we get to the door, I'll tell 'em to shoot.
Johnny O'Clock:
All right, so they'll shoot...
Nancy Hobbs:
No! It's not all right, not for me, it isn't. Oh Johnny, give yourself up.
Johnny O'Clock:
Nancy, I haven't got a chance. All my life, this guy's been chasing me...
Nancy Hobbs:
Johnny, it's the pain. You're weak, you're hurt...
Johnny O'Clock:
[defiantly]
I know what I'm saying. He's been looking to get something on me. Now, he's got it. Even if I told the truth...
Inspector Koch:
[yelling back]
What is the truth.
Johnny O'Clock:
[about Marchettis' shooting]
It was self defense.
Inspector Koch:
His wife said you shot him in cold blood, for money.
Johnny O'Clock:
That's a lie!
Inspector Koch:
If it's a lie, it'll come out.
Johnny O'Clock:
In storybooks. This is too good a frame.
Inspector Koch:
Nobody's out to frame you, O'Clock.
Inspector Koch:
[to Nancy]
If you want him alive, tell him to drop that gun.
Nancy Hobbs:
[increasingly passionate as she goes on]
No. I don't want him alive. I want him dead. I want to cry for him. I haven't had enough tears, I want more. I want to be able to say, "Do you know who I'm crying for? Johnny O'Clock! Do you know who he was? The smartest man in the world." I know, because he told me so. "Johnny O'Clock's not a fool," he said. "No fool!" That's why he's dead... because he's no fool!
[Nancy quickly turns to hide her head as she wants to cry in peace. After a long pause, Johnny throws the gun on the ground, it making a loud thud]

Nancy Hobbs:
[running to Johnny's side to embrace him while Koch picks up the gun]
Johnny, Johnny...
Johnny O'Clock:
[matter-of-factly to Koch]
Well, it looks like it's going to be a hot day.
Inspector Koch:
Not too hot.
Johnny O'Clock:
Wanna bet?
Inspector Koch:
Bet? I'll lay ya odds.
[Nancy and Koch support Johnny on either side as the three of them exit the room together]
