Angels Over Broadway Page #8

Synopsis: Charles Engle has been caught embezzling. He writes a suicide note, and goes out wandering on the town. Small-time hustler Bill O'Brian sees him give a couple of big tips, figures he's rich, and plans to take him over to a big-time card game and fleece him. He enlists Nina Barone to help get Engle to the game. She goes along, but is more interested in O'Brien than in his schemes. Meanwhile, a perpetually drunk and none too successful playwright, Gene Gibbons, finds the suicide note. He cooks up a scheme (with the reluctant aid of O'Brien) to get the money Engle needs to pay back his employer and save his life.

For what?

One beating a night is plenty for me.

-lf you want my phone number, l--

-l dont want anything.

lm sorry you feel this way.

Really, l am.

lm sorry for only one thing:

l butted into your romance with Mr. Hugo.

Otherwise wed have both been

where we belong.

And better off.

You cant be nice, can you?

Even if you want to.

Youre afraid you wont seem

like a wise guy if youre nice.

Okay, Mr. OBrien.

Something wonderful happened tonight.

lll remember it for a long time.

When things dont seem so wonderful...

...lll remember Mr. Gibbons

and Mr. Engle...

...and you.

And that people arent really mean.

They can be better than they are

if they want.

lf theyll let themselves.

Even if it doesnt last.

They can be better than they are.

So long.

-That will be $35 out of $50.

-Keep the change.

Hey, you seven!
