Stay Hungry Page #5

That's not just looking on.

Real authentic, huh?

I reckon you could

call it that if you want to.

Oh, yes, sir.

You are full of surprises,

I tell you.

- That's what life is all about.

- I don't know what you are.

I think I wanted to show off

today, that's all.

You fellas are fantastic.

I love that.

You realize

I had absolutely no intention--

Hey, that's cool.

No, but do you really--

I've never seen her happier.

It's terrific.

I've heard about this stuff

all my life.

Kind of grows on you,

doesn't it?

Yeah. But it's like

a lot of good things.

Can get too much

of it in a hurry.

Better be careful.

I have been careful all my life.

Yes. Come.

See, Anita, every time

anything's bothering you...

what you want to do is sweat.

Now what's this?

The door's unlocked.

It's just Thor upstairs

balling a goat or something.

Hey! Who in the hell are you?!

Who the hell are you?

Just what are you doing?

I'm just fixing

this air conditioner up here.

Uh-huh. Who asked you?

Murray! Bones!

Y'all get down here!

You watch him, Anita.

Looks like we got company.

Yeah, you do.

Is it a cop?

You're gonna wish I was.

Who the hell are you guys?

You sure don't look like no cop.

Watch him!

Get him, Murray! Get him!

Anita! Hit the lights!

Gonna eat you up, boy.

Get the goddamn lights!

Look at what we got here.

Our little buddy from the club.

What the hell you guys

doing this for anyway?

Shut up.

Oh, yeah.

When I took this job,

it was for money...

but now, I'm gonna get me

some real pleasure.

You hurt her downstairs,

and you're d--

Well, I think I better be

getting on, little lady.

Now, you be good, you hear?

Hotshot pool player, huh?

Well, let's see

how good you are.

Left ball in the side pocket.

Y'all watch out.

She's Jap or something.

Jap my ass.

Get out of the door, lady.

We don't want to hurt no lady.

Franklin! Are you all right?

Jabo didn't say nothing

about no karate!

Customers can't use the place.

If I don't get it

fixed right now...

they're gonna sue class action.

Damn it! I can't even afford

to stage the contest now.

And that's gonna break

Joe's heart.

How much are the damages?

You see,

these people down here...

Mary Tate, Franklin, Newton...

they're like my own children.

I helped every one--

Thor, how much are the damages?

What with

the air conditioning and all...

it comes to 5,000.

- 5,000?

- To get it fixed right.

Why are you so interested

in all of this, Blake?

Well, I was thinking...

If I could help you out,

I'd lend you the money.

You wouldn't happen

to know nothing about...

who them skunks were,

would you?

Jesus--

What do you want for the loan?

An l. O.U.

Look, do you want

the money or not?

Blake, you ol' son of a gun.

Me and you's just alike,

ain't we?

We just need to help people.

Have a sip.

Swamp?

I forgot to tell you.

William came by today...

and he took

that old piece of armor...

and he took your horse, too.

Said you owed it to him.

Bath's ready.

Not now, Mary Tate, OK?

You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure!

What do you want to do then?

I want to sit

in the goddamn chair...

is what I want to do!

OK!

Swamp...

all you gotta do

is just sit there.

Just be.

Mary...

I love you.

Great.

Do me a favor, baby?

Carry my compact for me?

- Can't, doll.

- How come? You got pockets.

It'll bulge, damn it.

Carry it yourself.

Well, I didn't want to take

my pocketbook...

but that's OK.

I won't take it.

- I don't need it.

- Yeah, right.

Oh, gosh,

I hope Joe does good.

He's gonna do fine.

He plays the fiddle,

doesn't he?

I'm so excited.

Well, how do I look?

Oh, shoot, my clips.

You look beautiful.

- Do l?

- Yeah.

Do I really?

Are you kidding, baby?

You look fantastic.

You don't look bad yourself.

Don't you worry.

This is gonna be fun for us.

Come on, let's go.

We're late.

- All right.

- Come on!

Hi, Craig.

How you doing?

Good to see you.

Victoria, look at you.

Don't you look lovely?

Craig, it's so good to see you.

I haven't seen you in weeks.

- Where have you been?

- I've been all over.

Victoria, I want you to meet

Mary Tate Farnsworth.

- Hello. How are you?

- Hi. I'm fine.

Will you excuse us?

I see my man over there.

Of course.

Good to have seen you again.

See you later. Bye-bye.

Oh, watch it.

- Sorry.

- Sorry.

Boy, you sure got some

peaked-looking relatives.

Hey, partner.

Where'd you get these duds?

Rented them.

Guaranteed authentic.

Well, you look really sharp.

Look at these people.

Now, this is

what you call class.

How are you, Mary Tate?

Excuse me.

I got a relative to say hi to.

I'll be right back.

Uncle Albert.

Good evening, sir.

What's the matter

with you, baby?

Well, don't you think this dress

is a little bit out of place?

So what if it is?

It doesn't matter to me.

Least I don't look

like Buffalo Bill.

Is my dress really all right?

Sweetheart, I told you...

your dress just looks

pretty unusual.

You look lovely.

You both look fine.

Craig! Craig, darling!

How are you?

Here's our hostess.

Amy, give us a kiss.

Craigie.

Why, Mr. Santo, I just want to

tell you how delighted I am...

that you and your paramour

could join us this evening.

And, Craig, you were just a

perfect muffin to get him here.

- Me and my what?

- Your little friend here.

Miss Farnsworth is Craig's

little friend, Mrs. Waterson.

In the interest

of clarity, Amy.

I see.

He has extraordinary

musculature.

Yeah, it really takes

a hell of a lot of dedication...

to work out like that.

Thank you.

In a couple of weeks he's gonna

be the new Mr. Universe.

Why don't y'all

come and meet him?

I think you'll enjoy that.

Yeah. I'd like that.

Joe, you got a second?

I want you to meet some

fans of yours here.

Richard Packman,

Mr. Joe Santo.

Now, easy, big fella.

He got my drinking hand.

He's a big'un, isn't he?

Is that young lady

your latest?

Well, she's really more

a friend of Joe Santo's.

Yes?

Well, a friend

of mine and his.

I see.

Craig...

Yes, Uncle Albert?

What happens to body builders

when they get old?

They die.

This little gal here--

I've known her since I was 11.

She's the only lady

in this whole club...

ever to work her way into

a men's doubles game... and win.

Zoe, this is--

Let me introduce myself, Craig.

That's a marvelous idea.

All right.

I'll see you later.

Who's that? How come

I don't get to meet her?

- You'll meet her later.

- Don't pull my arm.

Who's buying the bourbon here?

I'm the guilty party.

Come on. I'll show you

around this place.

Say, what do y'all

think of my buddy?

Leave it to ol' Craig here.

Amy asked him to come up

with a musical act...

and he comes up with a freak.

- Nice work, Craig.

- What'd he say?

Well...

easy on the names,

huh, Halsey?

Hello, everybody.

Look who's here. Dorothy.

I just saw Joe outside.

He's a man of so many talents.

You remember Mary Tate.

Of course I remember

Mary Tate--

the little

water ski girl.

I want a word
