Mulligan Grills Spats at the Convention, Explained：be caught dead
Under the cover of a "Friends of Italian Opera" rally, the mob has gathered — and Detective Mulligan has crashed it. He needles Spats about the St. Valentine's Day Massacre until Spats, cornered, insists, "I sleep with my spats on." Meanwhile Joe and Jerry, dressed as women, can only hope nobody recognizes them.
あらすじ
At the "Friends of Italian Opera" convention in Florida, Spats Colombo registers as a Chicago delegate and is checked for weapons. Detective Mulligan shows up and questions him about the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre. Spats claims he was at an opera, Rigoletto; Mulligan points to the blood-stained spats, and Spats answers that he sleeps in them.

What's really going on
The scene is a mob comedy built on the gap between menace and manners. The killers have a club, a registration desk, and a sergeant-at-arms; their violence hides behind euphemism, so "Friends of Italian Opera" means the people who order hits. Mulligan, the one honest man there, turns the same polite language into a needle: he asks where Spats was on Saint Valentine's Day and calls him "maestro." Spats's defense — "I sleep with my spats on" — is both absurd and revealing, because he cannot admit that the blood came from a murder. Joe and Jerry, pretending to be women upstairs, are the only people in the film who correctly read the danger; their line "they're onto us" is the real turn of the scene, and it drives them toward panic and packing.
Theme
PowerThe mob runs its violence through a private club, and the whole scene shows how gangsters dress up murder as procedure and etiquette.
Dark humorEven the interrogation is played for laughs, from the golf-club weapons to Spats insisting he sleeps in his bloodstained spats.

That's life. You can't make an omelet without breakin' an egg.A proverb used to shrug off the coming heartbreak: someone will get hurt, but that is the cost of what Joe and Jerry want.
You never know who's gonna be next.A thin threat at the mob gathering: after one killing, no one in the room can be sure he will not be the next target.
Us? We wouldn't be caught dead in Chicago.Joe and Jerry's too-eager denial when a mobster asks if they have been to Chicago; the joke is that Chicago is exactly where they fled from.
- You shave with spats on? - I sleep with my spats on.Spats's excuse for bloodstained shoes; the answer is so absurd it confirms he has nothing truthful to say.
Something tells me the omelet is about to hit the fan.A mangled version of the saying 'the stuff hits the fan': the malapropism means trouble is about to explode.
このシーンについての質問
Why do the gangsters call their meeting "Friends of Italian Opera"?
It is a cover name. The convention is a mob gathering dressed up as a cultural society, complete with registration and a sergeant-at-arms, so the real business — settling scores and taking orders — runs under a respectable label.
Why does Mulligan ask Spats about Rigoletto?
He is fishing for an alibi. Spats says he was at the opera during the massacre, so Mulligan mocks the answer by asking for the opera's address, since he knows it is a lie.
Why do Joe and Jerry panic in the elevator?
They run into Spats's men, who think they recognize the two 'broads' from somewhere. For Joe and Jerry, being recognized means being exposed and killed, so they start packing to run.
What does "copper" mean?
It is old slang for a police officer. Spats greets Mulligan with "Hello, copper," a line that works as both a casual hello and a sneer aimed at the law.
