I am not sure of the expression that one of the inmates of the Philadelphia State Prison uses in this dialogue (from a US movie released in 1950). They are talking about women. This is what he says:
There ain't nothing in all the world like a dame. They can be sweet and wonderful and they can tear your heart out. Somewhere there's a ***** for every guy.
I think that the expression that I replaced with ***** sounds like "wrapping", maybe, "right pen (being pen slang for Penitentiary)", or "right pain", although I can't hear the "i" sound of "pain". Can you help me? This is the audio file.
