Today is the day Bob and his friend Jimmy planned to meet after 20 years, at the same spot on the same time. Meanwhile a police officer is on round to check on the town.
Broadway
When will he arrive?
Just checking if everything is alright
It's been 20 years since our previous meeting. There used to be a restaurant here, Big Joe Brady's, that's where we separated.
Broadway
Hello officer. Nothing to worry about. I'm just waiting for a friend.
Good evening mister. Can I help you?
Interesting!
Broadway
Goodnight sir.
He should be here any minute now, that is if he's alive!
I went on towards the West to earn, make a fortune, I was 18. Jimmy who was 20, stayed here in New York.
Broadway
I knew I'd find you here! 20 years... A long time.
Yes... Come, let me take you to a place I know of. We'll have a nice long chat.
Is that you Bob?
Well Jimmy, you've grown in my absence!
Jimmy?
Well... Change is sometimes an advantage. You've been under arrest for the past 10 minutes.
Now before we head to the station, I was told to give this note to you. By officer Wells.
Bob is telling Jimmy about his past 20 years, when Jimmy suddenly stops.
I was at the appointed place on time. When you lit your cigar, I saw it was the face of a man wanted in Chicago. Somehow I couldn't do it myself so I went around and found a plain clothes man to do the job. - Jimmy
