The Night They Raided Minsky's Page #7

- Which one is Mademoiselle Fifi?

- She is.

- You will.

- I won't.

- You will.

- I won't.

Take that.

Nurse! Nurse!

Just let me explain!

Trim, listen to me.

- Would you like to have your palm read?

- I would love to have my palm read.

Nurse! Nurse!

Shut up!

Lie down and remember,

if you should need the doctor...

Trim, it was all a plan to trick Fowler.

He thought he was gonna raid this Fifi,

the real one.

And we were gonna send this one

out on stage.

Well, she's a kid.

She dances stories from the Bible.

Like that we were gonna embarrass

Fowler and have him run out of town.

I didn't wanna send her out on stage.

She can't dance. She's not talented.

Raymond tricked her.

Told her that if she came in here,

she'd be able to go out on stage.

I mean, she's nothing.

It was all just a big joke.

Ha-ha.

Jezebel!

It has come now to this!

Papa, please.

I will burst to hear more just now.

Look at thee.

Born and grown where none uphold

to dressing worldly.

And look at thee.

Look at thee.

You have been sentenced

to be shot at 6 a. m.

Whore!

To stand there so prideful

with thy protuberances.

How thou dost shame me.

Company, ready, aim...

Fire!

Mae, the sketch is over. Get out there!

No!

You heard my father. I'm a whore.

Mr. Minsky, I am Mademoiselle Fifi.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

the pice de rsistance,

direct from Paris, France...

And about the protuberances, Papa,

I think the Lord might feel different

from you,

since he's the one gave me them.

...the only, the incomparable

Mademoiselle Fifi!

Come on, Fifi, do something.

She don't have to do nothing

but stand there.

As one gentleman to another,

I regret having to take this action.

Spare me the regrets, Mr. Righteousness.

I wasn't renewing the lease, so burlesque

was finished here next week anyway.

But then this raid will have no purpose.

I know.

Have a good time.

Hey, Fifi, give us one on this side.

Yeah, Fifi, give them one over there.

Over here. Give us some over here.

We can't see a thing!

Over here, Fifi! Over here!

Hey, Fifi, don't tell us

that's what you did in Paris!

Don't stop there, Fifi.

Show us some more.

Come on! Let's see some more!

Let's see some more!

Yeah, take something off!

More!

More!

- More?

- More!

- More?

- More!

Come on, Fifi.

Come on! Let's see some more!

Let's see some more!

- More!

- More!

Where's Ray?

More!

Where's Raymond?

Atta girl, Fifi! Let her rip!

Let's see some more!

Let's see some more!

Raymond!

Mr. Minsky, by the authority vested in me

by the City of New York,

I am placing you

and Miss Fifi under arrest.

Gentlemen, take them away.

Hey, Mr. Fowler, if you're taking them in,

why don't you take us in, too?

- Yeah!

- That's right! Take us all!

But you haven't broken any law.

Oh.

Take them all in.

The whole troupe, everybody.

I want every one of them, you hear me?

Everybody!

Many other ladies I have lied to

Many were my happy nights and yet

The night they raided Minsky's

Is the night I can't forget

Now I'm very old with just my memories

Now my biggest thrills is cigarette

But the night they raided Minsky's

But the night they raided Minsky's

But the night they raided Minsky's

Is the night I can't forget
