City Streets Page #3

It's nearly 4 now.

I've been waiting so long.

I'm sorry, it isn't MY fault

we've had such a crowded day.

Better hurry, you only have a minute.

It's swell seein' you!

It's great seein' YOU.

Boy, you're good to see!

And you too, Babe!

What?

I wish I could just touch you!

Babe!

I thought you might never come.

I had to tell them

that we were married...

...or they wouldn't let me see you.

Did you say that?

And how!

Have you missed me?

I'll say I have!

What have you done to yourself?!

Do you like my get-up?

The circus in town?

-Not much!

Gee... you must've come up

in the world!

I'll say I have.

Doin' what?

Beer.

Beer?

I'm working with Pop.

Pop?!

Oh, Kid!

You had it right, Babe...

It's great... I love it!

Oh, don't kid me, please!

I'm not.

What's the matter with you?

No, it can't be true...

It mustn't!

I thought you'd be tickled to death.

Oh, Kid!

Time's up!

Sorry, but you came late.

Just a minute, please.

No! I'm sorry.

Goodbye, Nan.

I'll be waiting outside for you,

when you come out.

Come along!

-Goodbye, Kid.

Goodbye.

You must've come up in the world.

I certainly have.

Doin' what?

Beer!

Beer?

I'm workin' with Pop.

-Oh Kid!

Oh no!

It's great

I love it!

Oh, no, Kid... No!

Time is up!

You certainly had it right, Babe.

Time is up.

It's great!

I love it!

No, Kid, no!

Come along, come along!

Lucky your boyfriend isn't mixed up

in the booze racket.

Beer!

I love it!

That's bein' 'Johnnie-on-the-spot' alright!

Beer!

Johnnie-on-the-spot!

It can't be true, can't!

You had it right!

A party for Nan Cooley!

How do you like it?

Swell!

Hello... you must be Nan.

Yeah, to my friends.

Then it is to me.

You know The Big Fella, don't you?

No, she doesn't.

But she will.

I'm glad to see you out.

You are a lucky mug, Kid.

Hot stuff, eh Chief?

Red hot!

See... what did I tell you?

Yeah...

It's a swell joint alright.

Nan! Baby, you're lookin' OK!

I'm alright.

-Well, what's eatin' you?

You ain't sore?

Not at Pop!

Can the Pop stuff!..

Sell it to somebody who wants it.

Is that any way to talk,

and me so glad to see you?

Yeah... And what did you do

to get me out?

He did everything he could.

I know he did.

Sure!

Oh, Pansy!..

Pansy!

She's your new Mom!

Oh, I'm glad to meet the family!

Be yourself, I'm dieting.

-Don't let Nan get your goat.

I don't blame her...

Going up the river is no picnic.

I thought you'd gone.

Hey, I have an idea!

-They must be giving them away.

I'm giving a party for Nan.

Tomorrow night at the Club Villa,

so The Mob can meet her.

Coming-out party?

-That's right.

What do you say?

I'm tired.

It'd do you good!

Thanks, Chief, we'll be there.

Mighty nice of you

to do that for Nan.

I'll do a lot more for you, too.

How do you spell it?

T-W-O?

Well, I'll see you tomorrow night.

Goodbye.

Oh, Nan... we got a lot

of swell dresses for you!

Pansy picked them out herself.

Come on Pop...

you and me's got a date!

What?

To buy a new dress for the party!

-But you got lots of new dresses!

Oh Pop! Don't be mean to Pansy!

Ain't she clever at thinkin' up answers?!

Why don't you like The Big Fella?

He's a great guy.

Yeah? Well, I know better!

Oh, Kid, let's not go

to that party tomorrow.

Let's drop this mob,

before anything happens.

I thought we settled all that

out in the car.

If you call not listening to me,

settling anything.

Kiss me!

-Let's both beat it tonight.

Kiss me!

Kid... there's gonna be trouble,

I know it.

Let's be sensible.

That's what I am being.

Mighty sensible!

Get a load of The Big Fella!

He's all steamed up!

He sure is!

And is it a burn-up for The Kid!

Boy!

That brat of yours

is certainly a queer one...

She's got The Big Fella

out on his feet... and don't like it!

She'll learn.

Stop worrying about The Kid, Baby!

I don't want to just dance

with YOU all the time.

Can't you give The Kid a break?

At least let me sit with him

for a while.

I will give him all the break he needs.

Hey, Baldy... come on, sit down.

Sorry old man,

but this is my chair here.

No, it isn't.

But this is my lady's wrap here.

Well, you can have that,

we don't need it.

Pick that up!

Pick that up, I said!

Let's have another dance.

No... thank you, but...

No refusing... come on!

And if you start anything,

you'll get more than a fork in your hand.

He must know about US.

We're gonna get married.

That's more of a reason...

He wants to show you

where you get off.

You're gettin' too big

in this mob.

I thought you and him were...

Yeah!

We were...

Till he got a look at HER!

She better lay off him, or...

I can make you very happy, Baby!

You could have everything!

A car of your own...

...a chauffeur, and all the clothes

you can buy.

No thanks... not tonight,

or any otter night!

Oh, think it over.

I'll leave the offer open.

You think I'll change my mind,

don't you?!

Others have.

It's about my turn, isn't it?

Oh, Kid, I thought you were

never going to ask.

Hey, Pop...

That kid of yours

made a big hit with me.

Yeah, so I've noticed.

Any objections?

No... sure not!

But...

-But what?

Well you know how it is

with The Kid.

He's pretty handy with that gat of his.

Yeah?

I take care of him.

So could we, Chief.

The rest of this is mine.

-What's the idea?

We just started, and I've been

dancing with you all evening.

But I want this one, too.

No you don't.

-Who do you think you're talking to?

Come on, Baby!

Wait a minute!

Hey... trying to get tough?

Nobody takes my girl away from me,

not even you.

Get that?

OK...

No hard feelings.

Get off the floor!..

What's the matter with you?

Don't get excited, buddy!

Kid... you shouldn't have done that.

There'll be trouble.

I can take care of myself.

But Blackie didn't do any more

than you did.

Nobody's taking you away from me,

Blackie or no Blackie.

What's the matter?

Take me home, will you Kid?

Home... why?

I'm tired.

Let's get out of here.

How about those two guys

from Detroit?

We don't owe them.

Alright...

That'll be fine.

What do you suppose we want guys

from out of town for?

They're gone.

He's taken her home... Pop's house.

Now listen...

Make it fast.

Here's the address.

Listen, Kid...

I know what I'm talkin' about.

What about Blackie?

Nan baby, you're seein' ghosts.

Things won't look so tough

in the morning.

You're not going back

to the party?!

Nope.

Home.

-Promise?

Sure...The party's no fun

without you.

Goodnight, Nan.

No more nightmare, see?

Excuse me sir, there's a man

outside to see you.

Who is it?

-I don't know, Sir.

Don't go, Kid!

Didn't he say what he wanted?

-No Sir.

Just that it was important.

Alright.

Do go out, Kid...

It's a plant, sure.

That's what I want to find out.

Don't, Kid, don't!

Don't worry.

I know what I'm doing.

Don't Kid... Don't be foolish!

Kid, please don't go!

I'm alright.

You stay here.

Kid...

Kid, don't go!

Kid... come back here!

Looking for me?
