The Docks of New York Page #2

that could ever keep me ashore!"

"Why get serious about it, anyway?

You knew all I had was one night ashore -

you knew I was just a dirty stoker!"

"You ain't so bad, Bill Roberts!"

"But it would have been kind o'

funny if this had been on the level

- even for a couple o' months."

"Maybe if I ever stayed ashore

for as long as a couple o' months

I'd get to like it."

"Get a move on, Bill.

Time's up!"

"So long, Baby."

"Well - goodbye - Bill."

"Come on out o' this -

before you get into another mess!"

"I'll fix it for you, Bill.

You can't go to sea like this."

"What are you tryin' to do

- bring me more bad luck?"

"Superstitious, are you?"

"The nerve of that dame -

bawling me out after all

I done for her!"

"I could of told you before

that she was no good

- like all females!"

"Lucky for you I happened along!

If I hadn't pried you loose,

she'd of stuck like a barnacle!"

"Buck into it, you two!

I want steam, not talk!"

"I'll have you put in

irons for this!"

"Where's my wife?"

"In jail, where she belongs."

"What's she in jail for?"

"Why don't you go to the

Night Court an' find out?"

"Thirty days. Next case!"

"You are charged with having

in your possession clothes

stolen from the Harbor Pawn Shop."

"How did you get them?"

"My husband gave them to me."

"Where is your husband?"

"He left me this morning."

"How long have you been married?"

"I was married last night."

"Thirty days. Next case!"

"Just a minute, Captain!

I'm her husband.

I pinched them duds myself!"

"Break in anywhere -

take anything you want - -

that's your idea, I suppose?"

"No, sir, I rung the bell!

But there wasn't no answer,

so I helped myself."

"I see - man of importance

- no time to waste.

Just what was your hurry?"

"Well sir, I'm a stoker.

I only had one night ashore,

an' I wanted to have a good time."

"Sixty days will slow you down.

Release the woman. Next case!"

"Sixty days ain't a long cruise,

Baby - an' it'll be my last one,

if you'll wait.

"I guess I'd wait forever, Bill."
