Good night. See you tomorrow.
Bye.
Mary Ann?
Mary Ann?
Is there no school today, Mary Ann?
Yes.
Getting late, you know.
Want me to put the toast in for you?
No, thank you.
I'll get something at the cafeteria.
All right then. All right.
Young girls today.
Just can't please her.
Don't understand why, but then
I don't think she understands me.
Mary Ann? Is that you?
Yes, Mother.
What time is it?
About 8:
30.Say good-bye to your stepfather.
You forgot yesterday.
He didn't say anything,
but I knew he was hurt.
I didn't know he was up.
He's usually asleep when I leave.
Dear, I know
you didn't do it deliberately.
Aren't you gonna kiss me good-bye?
I'm very late. Bye.
I:
Oh.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Excuse me.
Go back.
All right. Stand back. Stand back.
Come on. Stand back.
Come on. Break it up. Come on.
- Let's go.
Let's go. Break it up.
All right.
Can you remember what happened?
I don't know.
Suffocation.
Where to, miss?
- I'm going home.
- Where's that?
All right. Come on.
Let's go. Break it up.
- Where do you live?
- This is no sideshow.
614 Green Street.
- Come on, miss. Please.
- What's your name?
Mary Ann.
Mary Ann Robinson.
All right then.
Slow now. Just take it easy.
Let's keep it back.
Coming home in a police car.
You'll never know
what that made me feel like.
Of course, I knew there was
something wrong with you this morning.
In the first place, you were so late.
That officer said you were sick.
I suppose you'd been eating some of that
awful food with your friends last night.
You'll just never know
how much this has upset me.
I was just going out.
Now, dear, tell me what happened.
I don't know.
There were too many people
in the subway.
I'll be all right soon.
I thought I'd die
when I saw you get out of that police car.
Wasn't that officer polite?
He kept asking if you felt better.
I've always said that choir practice
goes on too long
for the middle of the week.
You've been looking
Uh-huh. I'd better call the doctor.
Doctor wants you
to have one a day with two aspirin.
He says it'll calm you down.
This room is so dark when it's cloudy.
Shall I turn on the light?
I don't care.
Mrs. Carver phoned.
She wanted to know how you felt.
I told her you were a little peaked.
That's all.
Anybody who calls, I'll tell them
you're just a little bit down.
She said some more of those dirty people
had moved in the next block.
Honestly, I don't know what's
going to happen to this neighborhood.
Everyone is dirty.
Eat some more!
How can you expect to get well?
I didn't mean to hurt anybody.
Honestly, you can't even
go out on the streets alone at night.
Why? What could happen?
Anything could happen.
People do all sorts of things.
This used to be such a nice neighborhood.
People in the shops were so polite.
People on the streets were
decently dressed.
On Sunday everybody went to church.
Now all those people have moved away.
Nothing left but dirt and noise
and people sitting on the steps,
staring at you.
I know it's not their fault,
but honestly,
I don't feel at home anymore.
I feel like a positive stranger.
It's terrible. Just terrible.
- Hi, Mary Ann.
- Hi, Mary Ann.
You remember? The Elizabethans
supposed them to secrete a cold poison,
as in As You Like It.
"Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
wears yet a precious jewel in his head."
What do you want?
You have a vacancy?
You want it?
Want to see it?
I'll take it.
It's five dollars a week.
You pay in advance.
- You looking for me?
- I saw the sign in the window and I
Yeah, yeah. Come on in.
It's, uh, just for the summer, part-time.
Twenty-five dollars a week.
You're over 17, aren't you?
Four afternoons and all day Saturday.
Have you ever worked a cash register?
Yes.
All right. The girl at the counter
will show you what to do.
- Do you want the job?
- Yes, I want it.
Write your name and address...
and come back tomorrow morning at 9:00.
Tomorrow is Saturday,
so you'll work all day tomorrow
and then start your regular week
on Monday.
That's all now. Come back in the morning.
Don't mind me, honey.
The heat's got me.
You can be a little late
getting back from lunch.
- I won't say anything.
- Thanks.
There's nothing doing here anyway.
Probably close the place down.
Oh.
It's hot, isn't it?
Well, excuse me!
Mrs. Gates!
Now, Mrs. Gates...
what's the idea
of taking this card up to the chief?
Isn't this the office been handling
your case from the beginning?
Detective Bogart,
I've called you every day for ten days.
Nobody's had the courtesy
to even call me back.
Mrs. Gates, I have reports of my men
calling you back...
being asked silly questions like,
"Have you heard anything
about my little girl?"
Now yours is not the only case
in the city, Mrs. Gates.
I'm not used to this kind of treatment.
My husband is an attorney.
We have connections.
And if we weren't sure
you were doing everything in your power
Take it easy, Mrs. Gates. Take it easy.
I can't take it easy, officer.
My only daughter is involved.
I haven't slept.
Mrs. Gates, I haven't brought you here
to argue with you.
We've picked up a girl
that fits your daughter's description.
My God.
Where is she?
She's in the next room.
She refused to say anything.
You just follow me.
I'm sorry, officer.
All right.
I'm sorry.
Hey, honey.
Why don't you say hello sometimes?
You know, I don't even know your name.
Mine's Shirley.
- Mary Ann.
- Pleased to meet you.
Say, what do you do for a living, kiddo?
Just curious.
Work at the five-and-ten.
Gee, that's tough.
Hard on the feet.
You're the quiet type, aren't you?
You don't go out much, do you?
You know, you're not bad looking.
If you'd like, I could introduce you
to some of my better type
gentlemen friends.
Nothing personal, of course.
Well, I'll be.
I'm just trying to be friendly!
The little sh*t. Come on. The little sh*t.
Miss Harding. Miss Harding.
Excuse me, Miss Harding.
Today is Friday. Your rent is due.
And, Miss Harding,
I've noticed you use
a great deal of water.
I'm afraid there will be an extra charge
for so much use of the bathroom.
Let's say 50 cents?
When she first came,
I thought she was a nice kid, you know.
I even felt sorry for her.
I tried to help her.
I mean, I didn't say anything, but I took
all the tough customers for myself.
But now, boy, you should see.
She's changed.
I say to myself, "Who picked me
to be at the counter with her?"
- Yeah.
- She wouldn't give you the time of day.
- I bet.
- She looks like she hates the world.
- She's got a tough face.
- No. She's stuck-up. That's it.
She doesn't like people.
I wouldn't like to be in your place.
You can say that again.
Shh!
- All right.
- We hear you.
All right!
All right already.
I don't know what was the matter with
