I'm No Angel Page #2

Thanks.

Don't mention it.

I'd like to stick around and show you

the rest of my stuff, but I got a heavy date.

I gotta be leaving you.

- Tira, how can I ever thank you?

- Don't.

Why, you look better already.

Say, you're a good-looking dame.

There is a lot of guys

that would go for you in a big way.

Always remember, honey, a good motto is:

"Take all you can get

and give as little as possible."

Don't forget, honey,

never let one man worry your mind.

Find them, fool them, forget them.

Thanks again.

Hello, how's the joints tonight?

Fine.

Swell, Tira.

Hello, Tira.

This is the first chance

I've had to talk to you.

- When are we going out again together?

- Almost anytime you say, Harry.

I got to see you more often.

- You know, I'm kind of crazy about you.

- Oh, yeah?

- Can't get you out of my mind.

- That's bad.

Better not be thinking about me

when you're up there in the flying rings.

- Something's liable to happen.

- Not a chance.

How about us going somewhere

after the show tonight?

Not tonight, I gotta see my aunt.

Tira, us fellows are worried

about Harry here.

He don't eat enough,

won't even sleep enough.

Love, you know, is bad for an acrobat.

Don't worry. I ain't gonna hurt him.

I only wanna feel his muscles.

Bye, Harry.

I never met anybody

just like you before. You're different.

Anything different always costs more

but it's worth it.

By the way, you married or single?

Married five times.

Five times.

Wedding bells must sound

like an alarm clock to you.

I don't' suppose

you believe in marriage, do you?

Only as a last resort.

What do you do for a living?

I'm sort of a politician.

I don't like work, either.

I like to get around and travel.

Believe me, I've been places and seen things.

I've been things and seen places.

That sort of evens us up, eh?

Sit down.

I didn't get your name.

I don't give my name to everybody,

but it's...

Don't tell me it's Smith.

No.

- Brown. Ernest Brown.

- That will do.

What colour are you eyes?

I don't know.

You like them?

Lovely.

Where did you say you are from?

Don't think I've said,

but I'm from Dallas, Texas.

Dallas, huh?

I see. Pardon me.

Dallas, huh?

There we are.

Dallas, huh?

No one loves me like that Dallas man

Bet your life no one loves you

like that Dallas man.

Kisses sweet like honey

Oh, yeah?

Smiles that big and sunny

No one loves me like that Dallas man

Why, folks, he's got backbone

He's a Texas cyclone

No one loves me like that Dallas man

Why, brother, he's a wild-horse trainer

With a special whip

Gals, you'll go insaner

When he gets you in his grip

Strong arms made for loving

Heat like from an oven

No one loves me like that Dallas man

You just put your heart and soul

in your dancing, don't you, honey?

You've certainly given me

the time of my life, baby.

Don't say "given,"

I don't like that word "given."

Do pretty well for yourself, don't you?

That's nothing.

Ever take a crack at show business?

That's one business I never tried.

You ought to do great in that racket.

In front of the tent, the big boss.

You mean with a cigar?

You catch on.

Maybe I can fix it up with Mr. Barton

to sell you an interest in the show.

Then I can take the leading lady out

all the time, huh?

That's the angle.

We'll talk that over later.

Remember your five wives.

You're the baby that can make me

forget them. Kiss Papa.

Give me a long one.

You ain't the only girl I've ever kissed.

You got a lot to learn even at that.

What do you mean

by busting in here like this?

What are you doing here with my wife?

Your wife?

He's lying, I ain't his wife.

You can't get away with this.

Listen, you're in a tough spot.

Wait, let me get this straight.

You got it straight.

It's gonna be just too bad for you

when I call the cops.

You can't shake this guy down.

Here I am about to promote him

for dough, you come in to spoil it.

Don't give me that.

I get it. You all don't have to talk it over.

I reckon I'm leaving right now.

No, you ain't.

There's a business matter to settle first.

I won't give you a nickel.

You picked the wrong one.

I got connections in this town.

I'll see that you get

what's coming to you.

Now wait a minute.

I've laid out bigger chumps

than you, you mug.

- Now try and get out of this.

- You're in it with me.

As fast as you pick them up, I'll drop them.

Yeah? He ain't doing so good.

You better look him over.

- I think he's croaked.

- Ain't that nice.

I told you them barroom tricks of yours

will get us in trouble.

Come on, we gotta lam.

What? Leave him here in my place

for the cops to find?

I ain't taking any rap

for something you've done.

You like me to get sent up,

so you can have a free hand with the boys.

What a good time you'd have.

Listen, you may be tired of me,

but I ain't tired of you.

There ain't no time for that now.

Get him out of here.

Where am I gonna put a stiff in this joint?

Put him out in the hall.

They can't tell who did it then.

Hey, lay off.

Ain't you got no respect for the dead?

Come on, let's blow.

Is he dead?

He's coming around.

Got a crack on his head.

Wonder how.

Did you people hear any noise?

Sure, I heard a phonograph playing.

That's it. Take it easy, partner.

Got any idea who did this?

It's one of them circus fellows.

- Pick him out?

- Sure I can pick him.

- Say, I've been robbed!

- Are you sure?

I had a diamond that big

in a ring on my finger.

We'll get some of the boys to pick him up

if he ain't left town.

- Can you make the grade?

- Sure.

Right this way.

That's him.

Through the tent.

Move, boys.

That's him.

That's him, men, hurry up.

There he goes. Don't let him get away.

Catch him, men.

You're not going to pull that on me.

Help!

None of that. Don't start no riot.

- That's him.

- Go ahead, frisk him.

Come on.

That's it.

You sure?

I can prove it.

Take him along.

- But it's mine.

- It's evidence, give it here. Come on.

- Our phone working?

- Yeah.

Thanks.

- Hello. Give me long distance.

- Long distance?

- Ain't you never heard of it?

- Anything wrong?

Cops picked up Slick for knocking over

a guy and lifting his diamond ring.

He pulled that job here?

Don't worry.

You're safe. It's me that they...

Hello. Long distance?

I want to talk to Benny Pinkowitz.

New York City. I don't know. He lives

around 88th Street and Riverside Drive.

Pinkowitz.

Pinkowitz, I said.

All right, I'll spell it for you.

"P" like in pansy.

I- N-K-O-W...

"W" like in witch.

No, witch!

Dame misunderstood me.

I- T...

"T" like in tomato.

"Z."

Put them all together, they spell "Pinkowitz."

All right, you'll ring me?

Okay.

Why are you calling that shyster?

He helped me beat one rap,

and he can do it again.

How're you mixed up in this?

Like an olive in a martini.

Hello.

That's service.

Hello, Benny?

Benny, this is Tira.

Hello, Tira.

It's all right. You didn't disturb me.

What is this time?

Can that be the truth?
