Here Comes Mr. Jordan Page #11

Lefty, I made up my mind after

this Gilbert deal, you and me were through.

Yeah? Well, I'm not letting you go.

I got a contract.

You wouldn't want me to tell the whole

world you were crooked, would you, Lefty?

Funny you had turned up

at just the right time, Corkle.

You and me are going to do all right.

- Yeah, I...

- I got to be running along.

Hey, where are you going?

I don't remember exactly.

Hey, Joe... K.O., is this thing yours?

Yeah.

I guess so.

- Take care of it for me, will you, Corkle?

- Yeah, sure.

Hey, what's the matter with you?

You look like you had a bad dream.

Come on. Snap out of it.

We're gonna do all right, Maxie.

- Excuse me.

- I'm sorry.

- You looking for somebody?

- Yes, Mr. Corkle.

They said he might be

in Mr. Murdock's dressing room.

Don't I know you?

I don't think so.

No, I guess not. I thought for a minute I did.

Funny how sometimes

you feel you know people.

Yes.

- Is that the way to the dressing room?

- Yeah.

- Did you like the fight?

- I didn't see it.

- Oh.

- But I heard it over the...

- Your eye is hurt.

- It's nothing. It's just a little swollen.

- It's all red.

- It doesn't hurt.

- I'm Murdock. Ralph Murdock.

- Oh?

- And you're...

- Logan. Bette Logan.

- Hello.

- How do you do?

Glad to know you.

- You interested in the fight game?

- I knew a man who was.

- Do I know him?

- Bruce Farnsworth.

Oh, yeah, they were telling me about him.

- He was killed.

- Yes.

- I'm sorry. Was he a friend of yours?

- I loved him.

- That's too bad.

- Yes, but I don't know why...

Maybe it was the kindest thing.

He was so troubled.

I...

I don't seem to feel...

- What did you do that for?

- Your bandage was loose.

I didn't mean to.

Well, it felt kind of good.

You know, you were looking at me just now.

It...

You were kind of looking

right through my eyes.

- What's that?

- Oh, don't be scared.

It's just a warning. All lights out.

In the darkness, your voice sounded

like I'd heard it someplace before.

I couldn't remember where.

You didn't feel that, did you?

Well, yes.

I felt I was standing high up

looking out over the sea...

and someone was swimming toward me,

shouting something.

Something I felt I'd heard long ago.

- And I said, "Don't be scared."

- Oh, did you?

People are always thinking they knew

someone before in another existence.

You know, I had a feeling tonight I was

in a hurry to meet somebody I knew. I...

There's a little place around the corner.

Nice little place called Mike's...

where I go after the fights.

You wouldn't want to...

No, I...

I guess you wouldn't want to tonight,

feeling the way you do about him.

- I guess not, huh?

- What was it he said?

If I were to meet a fighter, I was to...

I'd love to go with you, Mr. Murdock.

So long, Champ.
