his heels to the best of them.

Tomorrow morning when...

King Arthur steps out... "

Hmm? "It is conceded

by the wise rail birds...

"that he will hang up

a new record.

"Although the track

is liable to be muddy,

"uh, King Arthur will go

splashing through the wind.

In the Preakness last year, King Arthur showed

what he had by running the mile in one... "

Give that guy the rouse.

I'll tell you about it later.

Go on. Scram.

Who are you? I'm the guy

that just told you to scram.

You leave me alone!

Take your hands off!

Who's he?

A pest.

If he'd have followed me home,

I'd have never gotten rid of him.

So you bring him here?

You're my watchman.

Big Steve was hardly out of town when

you step out with a good-time Charley!

Stop yelling at me.

Well, he's gone. Beat it.

Sir Sorry!

Are you satisfied?

I spent all night puttin' her to sleep

and you come here and start yelling!

Sir Sorry!

Wait. I'll put her

to sleep.

And when you do, blow.

I'm goin' to bed.

Oh. Hello.

Why aren't you asleep?

Aw, lay off me.

Oh, that's no way

to talk, honey.

Will you sing to me?

Will you go to sleep then?

Sure.

d Go to sleep, you

gorgeous little rascal d

d Thank your lucky stars

you got a bed d

d You better get your shut-eye

while the gettin' is good d

d You've got some

tough nights ahead d

d You'll grow up and

find it's all a racket d

d Cards are stacked against ya

from the start d

d Us gals have got to take it

from the time that we're born d

d Because we're born

with a heart d

d You're only a doll d

d And a man will have you

crying too soon d

d For after all d

d You can't even trust

d Go to sleep and

dd

d Sir Galahad

is waitin'... dd

Well, what are you doing

up? Lookin' for some eats.

Ain't you ever

anything but hungry?

You wait till nurse gets here.

She'll get your breakfast.

We are hungry.

Well, I ain't hungry.

Well, we are.

What do you mean "we"?

She would be hungry

when she wakes up.

Hey, what's the idea?

"Idea"?

Where's the kid?

The kid's up.

"Up"?

I sang myself to sleep. Yeah,

your singin' is like that.

I'm not runnin' a flophouse

for dames to sleep out.

I don't happen to be a dame that

sleeps out. I fell asleep accidental.

Usin' my place as a hideout

from a good-time Charley.

Aw, shut up. All right.

Take it on the lam.

As soon as I get some clothes.

You're wearin' clothes.

I'm not going out this time

of day with these clothes on.

If you went home nights, instead

of hanging around with a...

Maybe I could get home nights, if

you didn't shout and wake up kids.

I wouldn't have to shout

if you stayed away.

It won't happen again.

I'll give you plenty of air.

I'll take gallons of it. Better than

that, I'll give you oceans of it.

I'll take three oceans

worth. You would. It's free.

The nurse isn't here yet,

and I wanna get dressed.

All right, honey. Go and get

your clothes. I'll dress you.

Circle seven, one, six,

three, three.

Why, honey, it's all

torn. That's all I got.

Hello, Sarah?

Bring your clothes?

Where did you all say?

Who? Mr. SorrowfulJones?

Yes'm, Miss Bangles.

I'll hurry.

Mr. SorrowfulJones.

A delivery boy

says they're for you.

I didn't order this stuff,

whatever it is.

Come here!

What's these?

Miss Carson ordered them. Bangles?

What did you

bring them here for?

She said to deliver them to her

apartment after I collected here.

Collected?

Yes, sir, $52.60.

You tell him that.

$52.60.

$52.60.

Yeah, that's right.

We're not questionin'

the amount.

Pay this guy.

Huh?

You said pay him?

Now, once more, Marky,

and do it the way I told you.

All right, but I want to sit

on the piano like you do.

All right.

Hi, gold digger.

Hello!

Oh, Sir Sorry,

look at my new dress.

She looks human now. Oh, I've

got so many pretty clothes.

$52.60 to buy clothes

for a little doll like her!

Why didn't you send them back? 'Cause

I wasn't there when they was delivered.

Regret paid for 'em.

When I got home and found the things here,

I thought I'd guessed right for a change.

"Guessed right"?

Oh, let it go.

You wouldn't understand anyway.

Looks like you could be happy

in a swell joint like this.

Sure.

Steve phoned four times last night

between 1:
00 and 5:00 this morning.

If Steve finds out

you stayed at my place...

Oh, I phoned him

a while ago.

I told him I had the kid here

and shut off the phone.

Oh, you handed him a line. Yeah.

I was afraid he'd put the slug

on ya. He might get in a jam.

For puttin' the slug on me?

There's probably a law

against it.

Come on, you dogs!

Show 'em your heels!

Come on, you dogs!

Give 'em the whip!

Hooray! The winner!

Here. When you get the kid

to your place,

you might try reading to her out

of this instead of that racing form.

Oh, I paid for it myself.

It's a little worn,

ain't it?

I hadn't noticed it.

Maybe I should have

ordered you some clothes.

You dames worry a lot

about clothes, don't ya?

It ain't only clothes. When

a girl starts going for a guy,

clothes don't mean a thing.

Yeah, I hear they get married

even in them nudist colonies.

Good-bye, Lady Guinevere.

Good-bye, Marky.

$52.60.

"Sir Lancelot came home

two days...

"before the Feast

of Pentecost.

"King Arthur and all the court

were full glad of his coming.

"When Sir Gawain,

Sir Uwaine,

Sir Sag... Sir... "

Sir Sagramore.

"Sir Sagramore...

"saw Sir Lancelot

in Sir Kay's armor,

"then they wished well

it was he that...

smote them down

all with one spear. "

I want the other one. What other

one? This is King Arthur, ain't it?

I want the King Arthur

you was reading me about.

What King Arthur? That was always kicking

dust in the face of a lot of bang tails.

Talkin' like that

ain't nice. What's nice?

Bein' a good girl

is nice.

I'm a bad girl. Nurse says so. Why?

Nurse says there's

somebody named God.

A girl's bad if she doesn't

pray to him every night.
