Bonnie's Kids Page #2

---

Anyway, it was the whole smear,

you know.

I'd like to see...

We'd like to see Mr. Seaman, please?

Do you have an appointment?

- Oh, no, we don't, but we...

- Fill in these forms and take a seat.

- So, we were sitting there and this...

- Look, you don't understand.

Could you just tell us... - Sweetheart, Mr. Seaman

does not see anyone without an appointment

and besides you'll have to be screened

by Miss Paula Clark first.

Just fill in the forms.

Tell Mr. Seaman

Ellie and Myra are here.

Ellie and Myra.

Yeah.

Just tell him Bonnie's Kids.

Hey, listen to me,

you dumb coon.

I told you Mr. Seaman wanted that shipment

in Frisco by noon tomorrow, right?

Ben, I thought this would be a terrific look

for that new magazine cover we're doing.

You know, soft semi-nude look.

What do you think?

My god, look at the kids.

- You must be...

- Myra and she's Ellie.

Imagine that my sister's kids.

Hey, everybody!

Say hello to my sister Bonnie's kids.

- Hello.

- Hi.

OK, everybody out.

Come on, girls, sit down.

You too, Eddy. Blow.

Sure, Ben.

It's always a happy day

when the relatives show up,

especially when

they look like that.

See you later.

Come on, girls, sit down.

Make yourselves at home.

I'm sorry I didn't get up

for the funeral but,

well, it was our busy season,

you know, and...

The flowers you sent

were really pretty.

Mom would've liked them.

It was a fine funeral.

Yeah.

My god. Bonnie's been dead

for over two years.

How time goes.

You girls need any money?

Well, everyone needs money, Uncle Ben.

But, well, you're the only family

we've got now.

- What happened to what's-his-name?

- Charley?

Yeah, Charley, your stepfather.

Oh, well, he took off.

Yeah, he said he was going to

Montana and never coming back.

I hate that man.

After momma had left,

it sure got worse.

Every payday he'd go off on a drunk.

He picked up women.

Sometimes he'd bring them home.

Sometimes, he even... - He didn't

care about us. He never cared about us.

Oh, I could tell you things... - After he

left us, well, we didn't know what to do.

So, we decided to come here.

Our momma always said that

you'd help us if we needed it.

Our momma said

you'd take good care of us.

Sure, sure.

You can always count on me.

Your Uncle Ben is going to take

real good care of you. You'll see.

After all, you're Bonnie's kids,

aren't you?

Boy, Ben, you sure have a

great looking place here.

Yeah, it's a thing with me.

You know, it's a hang up,

you kids would call it.

Collecting beautiful things.

I really enjoy it.

Everybody calls me The Collector.

What about people?

Oh, I particularly enjoy

beautiful people.

What about Myra and me?

- Ellie, I just told you.

- Uncle Ben,

I think what Ellie's trying to say is

she's worried about our future.

I mean, what's your wife

going to say?

Come on, horse.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

I didn't expect you.

I have a little surprise for you.

Come and meet the kids.

- Ben, what are you talking...

- Come on, will you?

Kids?

- This is Ellie and this is Myra.

- No, I'm Myra.

She's Ellie. - Yeah, well, anyway.

They're my sister's kids.

Can you imagine all of a sudden

they just showed up?

- What a surprise.

- Yeah.

They're going to stay with us.

You know, they're family.

The only family I got, and we're

going to take real good care of them.

Of course, Ben.

I want you girls to get acquainted,

you know, get to know each other.

I'd like that.

Diana, I want you to make sure these girls

get everything they need.

- We got to make up for lost time.

- Oh, thank you, Ben.

Why don't you show them their rooms

or something. Get them squared away.

I got to go in town.

See you girls tonight at dinner.

Hey, we're really sorry we barged in on you

like this with no warning or anything.

Ellie, Mrs. Seaman

doesn't mind, do you?

Of course not.

As I said it was a surprise.

Must get lonely living way out here.

I bet you'll appreciate the company.

It is lonely sometimes.

Ben is not home much anymore and

it will be fun having you stay here.

- Yeah, just like one big happy family.

- Yes.

We'll have a real chance

to get to know each other.

I'd like that, Mrs. Seaman.

Diana.

Please call me Diana.

OK.

That's what we'll call you, Diana.

Yes, Miss Clark.

I'll send her right in.

You. Miss Clark will see you now.

One of the kids, remember?

Which way?

Come on, come on.

We haven't got all day.

- We're all your friends, Ellie.

- That has nothing to do with it.

This is business.

Mr. Seaman asked that we do something with

you and Mr. Harris will decide what we do.

And Mr. Harris' only interest in his women

is how they look, not how they feel.

- Well?

- Well, what?

Any questions?

What's to ask?

Would you please go behind the screen,

take off your clothes, and put on the robe?

Get with it.

We're busy people.

I said, get with it.

Pretty, isn't she?

Interesting.

Funny Mr. Seaman never mentioned

her or that other one to me.

You're his secretary,

not his priest.

We're waiting, Miss Thomas.

Over here, please.

The robe, remove it.

Stand up straight, sweetheart,

so Mr. Harris can see everything.

Good legs.

- Full name?

- Eleanor Thomas.

- Age?

- 24.

- Eyes?

- Blue.

- Height?

- 5'5".

Turn around.

Again.

Why is it I must always start

with scrap iron.

Because, Harris, you're an artist.

- Weight?

- 114.

Your nearest relative?

Harry Belafonte.

Cold as ice.

Harris, have you ever worked

with marble?

No, but it would be interesting.

Presently employed?

Unemployed.

Favorite recreation?

Is she kidding?

Can I help you?

Yeah, I think so

if you're detective.

If you're looking for Mr. Burns,

he's out of town.

Too bad.

Anybody else?

Yeah.

Then why don't you tell him

we're here, sweetheart?

Larry, there are a couple of guys

out here to see you.

OK.

Right through that door.

You know, sweetheart,

you do that real well.

Hi, my name is Tollin,

and my associate, Mr. Brown.

How do you do?

- That girl called you Larry.

- Yeah. Larry Evans.

- Would you sit down?

- Thank you.

Larry, Mr. Brown and I

need your help.

You see, we just recently

moved here from Seattle.

Well, you know,

it takes time to get settled.

Seattle? That's a nice place.

Yeah, I really miss it.

You know, I drove a cab there

for a while.

- No kidding.

- Yeah.

Well, anyway,

to get back to business.

As I say, we just moved here

and we don't know a soul.

Well, this is not the most

friendliest town I ever lived in.

People just don't seem

to extend themselves.

It doesn't cost you

10 cents more to be friendly.

That's how Mr. Brown and I feel.

In fact, there'd be probably less trouble

in the world if people just got along.

You know, Mr. Tollin... - Our business

is going to take us out of town for a while

and we need somebody

we could rely on.

Well, you came to the right place.

- Now, what kind of business you're in?

- Mining.

Uranium.

All kinds. We work out at
