Blonde Crazy Page #5

"not as when she laughs"... Ha ha!

"For that spoils all.

But, rather as if aloft

"yon hyacinth she loves

so, leaned its staff's

"burden of honey-colored buds to kiss

And capture 'twixt the

lips apart for this. "

Now, honey, I ask you,

Is this the kind of hooey

that guy Reynolds hands out?

Why, I think it's lovely.

He may be a poet to you,

he's just a peasant to me.

Let's get out of here.

I'm starved. I could

eat the hip off a horse.

Well, I'll go with you,

but I'm not very hungry.

I had a late luncheon.

Whose guest do you think I was?

Don't tell me. Don't tell me.

Einstein.

No, silly. You'd be very interested.

Oh, the high and mighty

Joe Reynolds, I suppose.

The poetry shark.

No, I saw Joe yesterday.

We had lunch together,

and I met his father.

Alright, alright. Who else, then?

Dan.

Dan barker? Did you talk with him?

Why, certainly. I said

we had luncheon together.

Well, I bet he laid off me.

You're all we talked about.

He's living at the Saint Anthony.

He always stays at the best, doesn't he?

Let me get my hands on him,

he'll stay at the hospital.

What did he say about me?

Everything, and by the way,

I have a message for you...

Helen sends her love and kisses.

The dirty, yellow-bellied,

double-crossing burglars.

And you laughing at me with him!

A fine partner you are.

You'd make a swell pair, you two.

Now, wait a minute.

Aw, get away from me.

You're as wet as he is,

always rubbing things in.

Oh, you talk like a child.

Now, before we go any further,

Tell me how you got the

money we came here on.

I never had any

intention of telling you,

I stole a necklace from a jeweler

And sold it to a fence.

Stole it?

Stealing's not your racket.

Well, I didn't exactly steal it.

I pulled it neatly enough.

You can bank on that.

I was desperate. I had

to get your dough back.

But out-and-out thievery's

not your style, Bert.

The worst you ever did

was take from wise guys,

Cheat a lot of cheaters,

but this thing...

You might've been caught.

But I wasn't. You don't think

I was that clumsy, do you?

Bert, you're such a boy.

You'll never grow up.

Oh, I'm sorry I got

into this whole business.

At first, it was clever and shrewd,

But now that we've resorted to this,

I suppose next week you'll rob a bank.

Sounds like some of

Joe Reynolds' influence.

That guy gives me the cramps.

Well, I can't stop you, if you

want to turn yellow and quit.

This isn't some of Dan barker's work?

You haven't fallen

for his line, have you?

You're hurting me, Bert.

I'm sorry.

No, it's not Dan's work.

I'm not going to take a

run-out powder, either,

Not now, anyway.

I'm going to stick with you.

I'm going to even up the

score with Dan barker for you.

He took our dough,

and he's going to pay.

He made you resort to

common dirty thievery.

We'll make him resort to worse

than that before we finish.

That a baby.

You had me worried for a minute.

Come on, now, what are the plans?

Never mind.

You asked me before if I was hungry.

Well, come on, I've got an appetite now.

We'll split the hip of

that horse between us.

That gets it, baby.

Ha!

You got a great idea, Anne.

I got to give you credit.

Believe me... this old

gent bellock's stuck on me.

He'll do anything I say.

I have to have somebody to work with,

And I like you, Dan.

You're my style.

And you were made to

order for me, honey.

If your man's as good as you say,

We'll take him for enough

to blow the country.

What time does he get in?

Usually early in the morning.

He stays at the Miranda.

Oh, fine. I got everything set.

It's our first job together.

We've gotta be on our toes.

I'll see who it is.

Hello, Mike.

Hello, Dan. Your car's ready.

Everything's ready. Let's be on our way.

I'll slip on a dress

make it snappy, honey.

I consider myself fortunate,

Getting to town before

this meet broke up.

You're right, colonel.

There's some great

horseflesh out here now.

This track is becoming

more important every year.

It certainly is. Not

a major stable missing.

And the management is perfect, I hear...

Void of fraud,

And no stigma of

unsportsmanship whatsoever.

Beyond criticism, colonel...

We're mighty proud of that.

As it should be.

The sport of kings should be respected.

Will you be ready soon, dear?

Just a minute, colonel.

I've got a run in my stocking.

How did you like the golf course?

Splendid, very sporty.

Anne and I played 18 holes this morning.

I'm very fond of this entire hotel.

Hurry, dear, we'll miss the first race.

Just a minute, colonel.

Oh, these women... I think

I've waited 1,000 years

for them in my time.

But they're worth it,

aren't they, colonel?

This one in particular.

Ha ha.

Looks as if we missed that first race.

And it's all my fault.

I kept you waiting.

Oh, that's alright.

Although I did have a horse picked

In that first race, a

sure winner, colonel.

I didn't have a chance

to look at the entries.

Oh, here, look them over.

Why not bet between yourselves?

You, Dan, pick a horse,

and you, colonel, book.

Not a bad idea

If the colonel wants to be a sucker.

Quite the contrary.

I'd consider it very sporting.

Well, it's a swell way to pass the time.

We're still a half-hour from the track.

Hello, Louie, who won

the first race today?

Who?

Okay.

Some mighty good horses

in that first race.

Yes, and the track ought to be

In pretty good shape, too.

Captain's boy is my

choice at 2-to-1 odds.

How much do you want to bet?

Well, say $500?

Why not make it $1,000?

Alright.

Shall Anne hold my money?

Surely, if you can trust

my sweet little friend.

Ha ha.

Who won the second race?

The second race.

Who?

Okay, okay.

Fine time to run out of gasoline.

Why don't you look out for these things?

I never knew the tank was near empty.

Hurry up, will you?

The races will be over

before we get there.

Well, I guess the

second race is on by now.

Say, do you want me

to keep book this time?

No, you bet. I'll be a real bookie.

And I've got plenty of

cash to pay off if I lose.

Okay, colonel.

What's your choice this time?

Well, this time I'll take high ball.

Sounds like a good thing

in these prohibition days.

Same amount?

No, let's make it $1,500 this time.

So if I lose the first

race I won't be out much.

Okay, here you are, little stakeholder.

Suppose we take the third race.

Betting this way is as

much fun as at the track.

Yeah. We've been delayed so much,

I suppose the third race is on now.

Well, I'll take a chance on Queenie.

I've taken a chance

on Queenies many times.

Stop now, colonel.

You're making me jealous.

Same amount... $1,500?

How'd you like to make

it really interesting?

How about $5,000? Can you cover it?

Sure I can. The sky is the limit.

Okay, colonel.

Well, there you are,

Anne. Hang on to that.

You'll probably be giving it back to me

In a little while.

You didn't pick a

winner in the whole lot.

I won all three bets.

Here you are, colonel.
