October 16, 1930. Jackson Parker is a small-time bootlegger, he has his henchman Benny deliver bottles of booze to places on a college campus: student unions, fraternity houses. Parker is arrogant, he tells Benny he could ""throw him out with the rest of the garbage."" Parker has big plans: he thinks he's meeting with Frank Nitti. At the Montmartre club, Nitti is telling his assembled lieutenants, ""And after we get that pipeline set up, the feds will have to dig up every street in Chicago to find it."" A round of laughter. Harry, who is guarding the door, tells Nitti that the punk is here; Nitti says to throw him out, but then decides to let him in for amusement. When they laugh at Parker's small-time bootlegging operation on a college campus, arrogant Parker says, "I thought I'd be talking to a more intelligent group of men", " Nitti warns him" and "One more like that, and the ice is gonna crack right out from under you".
