Little Miss Marker Page #6

She's makin' a sissy

out of her.

So that's where

she got this stuff!

Well, she's not going with you.

Now, beat it!

She said, "Beat it!"

I wanna go with them.

No, honey.

They's gone.

Is you gonna keep her?

A girl in my racket?

Hey, what's the idea?

I've been double-crossed.

And I'm goin' back to New York

to ask somebody a few questions.

dd

Hey, why so high-hat?

Sit down.

Dropped in to say

I'm sorry about, uh...

Forget about the other night.

I wanted to see you too.

Just coffee, please.

Same here.

Yes, sir.

Goin' for someone

in a big way?

Thought you looked kind of

undressed without 'em.

Thanks for changing

your mind about the kid.

It's only for

a few days more.

That's what I wanted

to talk to you about.

Do you remember those

dizzy fairies she used to have?

King Arthur and his mob?

They're gone.

We gypped her out of them,

and now she's just a mug... like us.

What's the matter

with that?

When we first met her,

she was a sweet kid.

Nice people would have been glad to have

her, but now she hasn't got a chance.

Because she's a little tough

now? She's plenty tough.

They want kids who have been

brought up right. Who does?

Nice people.

You know, young married couples

who have no kids of their own.

Why don't you get nice

and adopt her?

'Cause I'm not

a young married couple.

You'd love to see her get a good

home, wouldn't you? Yeah, sure.

Well, she won't. Not unless we can

change her back to what she was.

Read the book to her.

That won't work.

We showed her Big Steve's plug

and called it the charger.

We told her it was hers,

then snatched it away from her.

That started her off, and now, she doesn't

believe anything about King Arthur anymore.

She's got to be shown. Let her

take another look at the horse.

And King Arthur and

the Knights of the Round Table.

Yeah, but where

you gonna get them?

I got it figured out.

Come on.

Oh, decided to get democratic and

mingle with the riff and the raff, huh?

I'm inviting you all

to a party.

You gonna pour tea, Duchess?

It's a kid party, kind of.

Will we have rattles and

toy balloons to play with?

Listen, Sorrowful has okayed it. Yep.

It's to give the kid a break.

Introduce her to society, huh?

No, get her back on speaking terms

with those fairies she used to have.

We'll dress up as...

As what?

Sir Galahad, Sir Lancelot,

Sir Gawain, Sir Percivale...

Me social calendar

is filled for the season.

Oh, please.

It's for the kid.

Let them as will, swim channels

and such for their kiddies.

But I will never dress up

as Sir Percivale.

You've got to!

In English, in German,

in French, in Italian,

yes, even in Scandinavia,

the answer is no!

Get me some more beer!

I want some beer!

I want some beer now.

Listen, you mugs!

Keep quiet! Pay attention!

You're Knights of the Round Table,

and you gotta play straight for the kid.

This is her party. She's gonna get a kick

outta seeing her storybook fairies come to life.

- You gotta act according.

- According to what?

According to the hop that

Bangles read ya outta this book.

You're supposed

to be regular knights.

Quiet, quiet, quiet!

Before we get goin', does anybody

want to know anything else?

Yes, there is one thing I

would like to know. What?

What am I doin' here?

I'm sorry, but the club is reserved

for a private party tonight.

Who waits without? Two

knights for the Round Table.

Two knights for

the Round Table.

Two knights for

the Round Table.

Pray have

the two knights enter.

What an

extraordinary party.

Enter two knights

for the Round Table.

I would like to know as follows: How we

gonna get this hardware back to the museum?

We'll throw the suits

in the river.

But we gotta remember

one thing. What's that?

First we gotta get outta the

suits. That's a good idea.

I'm glad

you thought of it.

Hello, Bugs!

Why, you dirty...

Ooh!

Do that when

I'm lookin', will ya?

dd

Pipe down! Pipe down!

The princess!

Welcome, Princess,

to the Round Table!

We salute you, Princess,

and would die for you.

Go ahead.

That would be something.

These are all my brave knights,

and this is Sir Lancelot.

What's the big idea,

Regret?

I ain't Regret.

I am Sir Lancelot.

Why, dear, don't you see? All of

your knights have come to life.

Hooey!

They ain't no knights.

That makes it unanimous.

But, look. Can't you see

these are knights?

Sure, you can tell as follows:

Look at these tin suits.

I agree with ya.

Look at 'em.

Why are they all dressed up

in ash cans?

She's too grown up.

She's spoilin' our children's party.

She was gonna get

a big kick outta this, huh?

We might as well

wash this up and go home.

It turns out we're givin'

this clambake for ourselves.

Can't be blamed for tryin', kid.

Wait. There's still the charger.

It cost us 25 bucks to bring the

nag here. We might as well try it.

Varlet!

The charger!

Varlet! The charger!

The charger!

You brought him

back to me.

Sir Sorry brought him

back to you.

Oh, Sir Sorry.

Is he mine now? Mine? My very own? Yes.

For always?

Yes.

L... I didn't know you

liked me. Well, I...

But I...

I always liked you.

Want to kiss me? Well, I

ain't runnin' for mayor.

Give.

You are Sir Galahad,

the greatest one of all.

And you are the Kind Keeper.

Thank you, Princess.

May I ride him now?

Why, of course, Princess, and all

my brave knights will follow you.

What's the matter, Doc?

You heard what she said about

me, the Kind Keeper. Yeah?

And tomorrow morning I'm going to

shoot that into her charger's neck.

It'll make him win the race,

but it'll kill him. Kill him?

So that Steve can buy more

bangles for his Lady Guinevere.

You give me that.

Get out.

dd

Are you going

to kill her horse?

To a kid, one horse

is like another.

But there couldn't be another. He's

something she believes in again.

I can't throw 50,000 away

for a little doll.

Reardon said he was afraid the kid would

fall into the hands of the wrong people.

It looks like she has.

I thought maybe he was wrong.

But it was me who was wrong.

I could have gone for you.

I thought maybe you had changed, you had

a decent streak in you, but you haven't.

You're not even

halfway decent.

Take your 50 grand. Take a million

grand! Take all the dough in the world.

But you'll always be just what you

are, the cheapest skate on Broadway!

Know anything about this?

Bangles some questions. Sarah. "
