    Who got a one way ticket to Palookaville?

    Question #106781. Asked by star_gazer.

    daBomb619

    Terry, in the 1954 film "On the Waterfront".

    "It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money."

    I wonder if the ticket was punched as well.

    I love this stupid thing plagiarized by Mark Twain:

    Conductor, when you receive a fare,
    Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
    A blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare,
    A buff trip slip for a six-cent fare,
    A pink trip slip for a three-cent fare,
    Punch in the presence of the passenjare!

    CHORUS

    Punch brothers! Punch with care!
    Punch in the presence of the passenjare!

    But I think the conductor used a hole punch, not a boxing glove.
