She Done Him Wrong Page #5

Haven't you met a man

that could make you happy?

Sure, lots of times.

You can't go out in this.

I gotta be getting back to the mission.

Sally's father is waiting for me.

That ought to be interesting.

Yeah, but it's one of the things

I have to do.

Good night.

Good night.

Come up again. Any time.

Thanks, I will.

It won't be long now.

Now, this is all we have

on hand at present.

One of the plates got busted

and sort of held us up.

These are beautiful, Gus.

One way to get rich is to make

one's own money, isn't it, Jordan?

Now, you have your instructions.

I won't say anything more.

You know what to do.

Get rid of them quickly but safely.

Not a word, Gus.

They say money talks,

but this can only whisper.

Stow these on you.

I'll take care of the rest.

Soon we will be very rich, eh?

I hope so.

I need money.

Don't we all?

One thing more...

Who's there?

Doheney.

Just a minute, Doheney.

Come in, Doheney.

- What's up?

- Excuse me for butting in, Mr. Jordan...

- but have you seen anyone around here?

- No. Who?

- Chick Clark.

- Chick Clark?

- You'll find him up the river.

- He made a getaway. I thought you knew.

Collins here says he spotted him out back.

I'm sure it was him.

He was headed this way.

What would he come here for?

No telling, sir.

Maybe looking for trouble.

Better take a look. Excuse us, will you?

On life's stormy path,

ill-advised

Do not scorn her with words

fierce and bitter

Do not laugh

at her shame and downfall

For a moment, just stop

and consider

Wait a minute.

that a man was the cause

Sir, he might have gone that...

of it all

You can go home now, Pearl.

I won't need you anymore.

- You sure you won't, Miss Lou?

- No, you can go.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Just a minute.

- Chick, what do you want?

- I want you to pack up and come with me.

You don't suppose I'd be fool enough

to go anyplace with you.

Listen. I had to croak a guard to get out.

I'm here, now you're going with me.

I ain't going, Chick, I'm staying here.

- Don't you love me anymore?

- Anymore?

You mean to say you never loved me?

Why, you...

What? All I gotta do is call Gus,

and your trip will be back up the river.

- You'll never live to see me go.

- None of them cheap threats.

You ought to know me better.

I tell you, Chick, you're through. Get out.

You've got a nerve to stand there

and tell me to get out.

Me jumping freights

and crawling through the mud to get to you.

- Why, you...

- Chick!

I can't. I can't do it.

God, I can't.

Don't you know what I feel for you?

Ain't you got a heart left in you for me?

I gotta have you.

Chick, I never knew anything like that.

Just a minute.

I'll meet you tonight, at Callahan's.

Right after my turn.

You'll come to me?

I swear.

I'll be waiting for you.

Thought it was Gus.

I could not stay away.

I was kind of expecting that.

- Hello, Rita.

- Hello, Flynn.

- Looking for your assistant?

- Yes.

Last time I saw him, he was headed that way.

- So...

- That's her. She's the one.

She's the woman that done it.

That woman there.

- Sit down.

- That was the one I told you about...

She can't get away

with anything like that again...

Let me alone! That woman...

- Is she talking about you, Rita?

- Me?

I never saw the woman before.

I've never been so insulted in all my life.

She must be mad, that woman.

Now, I'll talk to her.

I bring you a gift.

Diamonds. I know you love them so.

Ain't it grand.

See, they make your eyes sparkle,

and your teeth gleam like pearis.

You are beautiful. I love you so.

The men of my country go wild

about women with yellow hair.

I'm glad you told me.

I want to keep straight on my geography.

I love you. You were made for love.

And for love only should you care.

And now, surely,

you have enough diamonds.

Diamonds is my career.

I swear I shall make you happy.

I shall die to make you happy.

But you wouldn't be much use to me dead.

So, this is where I find you.

Hello, Rita.

Don't you "hello" me.

So, the minute my back is turned,

I find you making love to another woman.

What did you expect? A boy

with a gift like that should be working at it.

What have you to say for yourself?

I have nothing to say.

You saw. What can I say?

How dare you so insult me when I gave you

the very clothes on your back.

- He's gotta have more than clothes.

- I'll attend to you later.

Have you no apology? Are you not sorry?

Do you not wish me to forgive you?

- I love you, I swear it.

- You love her?

She loves only money and diamonds.

And let me tell you more about her. She...

Just a minute. You get out of here

and leave her to me.

My pin! What do you mean by taking my pin?

- I didn't take your pin, he gave it to me.

- I want it back, right now.

You try and get it.

I wouldn't give you

this here thing now for spite.

If you asked me for it the right way,

you could have had it.

I get all the rocks I want...

but I'll keep this here thing now

to remember you by.

You're so very clever, Lou. So wise.

And so very smart.

But in my country,

we know how to deal with you wise ones.

Sneaky, underhanded...

I'll kill you, you hear me?

Open that hand. Give me that knife.

You think you're clever?

Give me that knife.

Rita.

Here. I don't want your pin.

Lou?

He must've come over that shed.

Lou, did you see anyone

out on the shed?

No.

No, there's nobody there.

Sorry to have bothered you.

All right, Doheney.

I want to have

a little talk with you afterwards, Lou.

- Better hurry, they're waiting for you.

- I'll be right down.

I'm just doing a job I never did before.

Spider.

Lou, I found...

Don't bother me.

- Are you nervous, Lou?

- No.

- You are nervous, ain't you, Lou?

- No, I ain't nervous.

'Cause if you're nervous I got...

I ain't nervous,

but if you keep asking me, I will be.

A guy what takes his time

I'll go for any time

I'm a fast-moving girl

That likes them slow

Got no use for fancy driving

Wanna see a guy arrive a little low

There isn't any fun

In getting something done

If you're rushed

when you have to make the grade

I can spot an amateur

appreciate a connoisseur

at his trade

Who would qualify, no alibi

to be the guy

what takes his time

Since I've been in office,

I've never heard anything so appalling.

Every word of it is true.

- Is that all?

- Yes, sir, that's all.

What this young lady says

is a serious accusation...

and means the end of that gang,

and coincides with Dan Flynn's report.

Let me hear the next witness.

That's all, Miss.

Come, Sally.

Now, Sally, tell the District Attorney

exactly what you told me.

Lou, what did Cummings want?

I seen him go upstairs to your room.

He wanted to know about that Sally girl

you sent to the coast.

He did? Wonder what for.

The father was over at the mission

and wanted them to find her.

All I told him was that you got her a job.

I'm sorry I ever bothered with that girl.

Why are you so funny-acting, Gus?
