Lee J. Cobb: Victor Massonetti

The Trap

Victor Massonetti

[in the town hotel. Ralph Anderson can be seen facing Victor Massonetti, the latter who is sitting in a chair]
Victor Massonetti: You're in good work, Mr. Anderson, I want you to know I appreciate it.
Ralph Anderson: [laughs sarcastically] What do I do now? Thank you for the opportunity?
Victor Massonetti: I know how you feel, nobody works for me for nothing.
[Massonetti reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out an envelope, which he waves at Anderson]
Victor Massonetti: For you, your Daddy says some of this will make you feel better.
[Anderson takes the envelope and looks at it for a few seconds before he looks at Massonetti]
Ralph Anderson: Spit in my face.
Victor Massonetti: You'll keep it.
[Anderson tosses the envelope to Massonetti]
Ralph Anderson: This isn't my business. You want to sue somebody sometime, my number's in the book.

[in his hotel room, Victor Massonetti can be seen speaking with Ralph Anderson]
Victor Massonetti: Where would you say she's going in such a hurry?
Ralph Anderson: [shrugs] Who knows? Wherever a woman goes in a hurry, I guess she's going.

[in town, the police can be seen escorting Victor Massonetti to a car. Massonetti is in handcuffs. Ralph Anderson is sitting in the front seat. Outside the car are Massonetti and Tippy Anderson, the latter who looks crossly at the former]
Tippy Anderson: Get in!
[Massonetti stares at Tippy with a look of defiance and disdain]
Victor Massonetti: [sarcastically] That's right. *Sheriff.*
[Massonetti gets into the car. After this, Tippy walks around to the other side and gets in himself. Seconds later, the car drives off]

[in the back of a police car, Victor Massonetti can be seen sitting next to Tippy Anderson. As the ride progresses, Massonetti looks over at Tippi]
Victor Massonetti: This is a hearse, and I'm driving!
Tippy Anderson: Trying to scare me, bogeyman?
[Massonetti appears disappointed as his effort to intimidate Tippy has appearently failed]

[Ralph Anderson can be seen riding in the front seat of a police car. Sitting behind him is Victor Massonetti, who can be seen leaning forward]
Victor Massonetti: How about you, lawyer? Davis tells me you're pretty though. Anything scare you?
Ralph Anderson: [annoyed] Want to know? Yes. I'm scared, and I'll stay scared all the way to Barstow.
Victor Massonetti: [threateningly] You'll never get this car to Barstow. That's a fantasy for schoolboys and fools, and you fit neither category. Anderson, use your...
Ralph Anderson: [irate] Knock it off!

[at the jail, Victor Massonetti can be seen escorted in handcuffs. As he's been led to the door, he stops to speak with Ralph Anderson]
Victor Massonetti: Tell you something, lawyer. Out there, that's the longest road in the world.
[Massonetti is lead outside as Ralph looks up at Tippy Anderson]
Ralph Anderson: You ready, Tip?
[Tip says nothing as he and Ralph exit the jail]
