The Sound of Fury Page #4

- I ate.

- What?

- Soup.

Do you call that eating?

Bring him a steak, Gracie.

- No, I don't want it.

- How about a sandwich?

Yeah, give it to him.

Bring him a cup of coffee first.

He don't feel so good.

One cow on a slab.

Here is our insurance policy.

Take a look at it.

Some dividend, huh?

- How about you?

I already talked to Velma.

She's got a date for you!

We'll mail this from Dawson so it

will have an out-of-town postmark.

Give me the tie clip.

What tie clip?

The clip that I gave you last night.

The one we took...

I haven't got it.

What do you mean you ain't got it?

- I don't know. I must have lost it.

- Can't you anything right?

- Don't get sore, Jerry.

- Why do we need that clip?

- Because that was the way...

Dessert?

Sure you don't want some coffee?

Coffee keeps you awake at night.

Come on, dive into it!

Velma is waiting with a girlfriend.

Jerry, I've been thinking about...

the women. It is risky to bring

women into this.

You've been thinking.

What with?

Couple of guys blowing into a strange

town might attract attention.

If there are a couple of dames,

just looks like a party.

See?

I guess you're right.

I can't do it.

Well, come on. It's getting late.

We got a 40 mile drive ahead of us.

Hey beautiful, how about a check?

Something wrong with your sandwich?

No, he just don't feel so good.

Now you can go into business

for yourself.

Hey, Cisco.

Look, Cisco! That way!

Cisco, we're surrounded!

Look out amigos or I'll run over you!

What are you doing?

Come on, out, out.

How many times must I tell you

do not touch what is not yours?

Go home. I have to make

a phone call.

And don't touch the car!

I wanted to say:

"Listen, you fat old hag..."

"Why don't you go someplace else

and have your ugly puss worked on?"

I don't see why Paul puts up with her.

She causes trouble every time

she comes in the joint.

And you can't say that

is good for business.

She wouldn't be satisfied

if I made her look like Miss America.

Ooh, baby, take it easy.

Anyway, I've been

thinking about quitting.

Jerry's got some kind

of a deal on.

He won't tell me about it, but from the

way he acts I know it's big!

He keeps sending plenty.

Him and me this;

him and me that.

You know, I told him the other day

I always wanted to go to Havana.

You know what he said?

'Maybe you'll get there yet,"

he said.

Havana.

"That ain't a bad idea," he said.

"Not half bad."

But it was the way he said.

What's he like?

Jerry? Honey, he's nature's gift

to women! No fooling.

Don't get any ideas now!

He is mine.

All mine.

You know I wouldn't make a play

for your boyfriend.

Thank you.

And besides, I'm saving myself

for the man I marry.

That's sweet.

Did Jerry say anything about

what his friend is like?

No, only that he was nice.

Kind of quiet he said, nut nice.

I like them quiet.

Just hope he's not bald.

Oh, there they are now!

Jerry, honey?

Come in!

Hello, baby.

Hey, you want to knock my breath out,

you big baboon?

Honey, I'd love to knock

your breath out!

Meet Howard Tyler.

- Delighted.

- Hi.

Watch yourself. He's a dog with

the dolls. I don't want no trouble!

Oh, allow me to present

Miss Weatherwax. Mr. Slocum, Mr. Tyler.

Hi! How about a drink before

we get started, honey?

Think you could dust off

some glasses?

They're not dusty, I'll have you know.

Hi.

How do you do?

- How do you do?

Honey!, Watch your driving!

Idiot.

How you two doing back there?

Don't do anything you would

be ashamed of.

He makes me nervous.

Where are you from, Howard?

Back East?

Oh, yes, Massachusetts.

I noticed you talked different

from folks around here.

I was born in Ohio.

You were?

You're not married,

are you Howard?

No.

I'm glad.

I wouldn't go out with

a married man, you know.

I'm not either.

Married, I mean.

Get me some cigarettes,

will you, Howard?

Take a couple of mine.

Would you get me some cigarettes?

And mail this for me, will you?

I forgot to write to my mother

last week.

Knowing you, it's for a dame!

- Give it to me!

Give it to me!

Okay.

It's for my Mother.

- I was only kidding.

You do that again,

I'll cock you one!

Look at the wild cat,

this is how I like you...

when you're mad like that,

you really send me!

I'll send you alright.

And it won't be to your Mother!

Aw baby, I was only fooling.

Oh, come on.

Don't be mad at me.

Come on, wipe it up.

Wipe it up.

You big baboon!

Excuse me.

- Alright, help yourself.

Okay, if you don't mind waiting.

My wife had a kid this morning.

Got to let all my friends know.

I never thought I'd be standing

on a street corner mailing...

letters about a kid of mine!

I've been married nine years.

We had almost lost

hope!

I suppose you think I'm

acting goofy...

but it kind of bowls you over.

Do you have any kids?

You may be able

to tell me something,

Is it normal for them to cry

all the time?

- Oh sure, they all do that.

- Really?

I've been a little worried about it.

I was ashamed to ask the doctor.

How much he weigh?

6 pounds, 3 ounces.

Boy, is he a whopper!

Well, nice to talk with you.

Good night.

Okay.

I almost forgot.

Have a cigar?

Thank you.

Any complaints?

Come on, Hazel, will you relax?

The crook lost.

Constance, I'll take this party.

I wish I could!

No offense.

You have good taste.

Sit here.

Waiter!

A little service, please.

That's the idea.

Hey, wait a minute.

What have we got here?

Hey, our silverware!

It is authentic. Directly

Stockwell hotel.

Wait a minute.

Oh, look at this!.

Hey, shake!

That'll teach me

to keep my hands to myself.

If you think I'm screwy,

blame my psychiatrist.

I didn't pay my bill last month,

and he let me go crazy!

Come on, let's dance.

Waiter, bring a couple of Bourbons.

Give these two anything they want.

Madam?

Nothing.

- I'll have a double bourbon.

- Yes, sir.

Why don't you have some coffee?

I'll be alright when I have a drink.

You've had enough already.

Maybe that's why you don't feel good.

Why don't you have some coffee?

I don't want any coffee.

I want a drink!

I'm sorry.

You have very nice hands.

Did anyone ever tell you?

I ought to know. I'm a manicurist.

You really have lovely hands!

Only you don't take care

of them as you should.

What you need is a

good manicure.

You'd be surprised what a good

manicure would do for you.

Would you care to dance?

No, no...

Good night, Howard.

Or maybe I should say good morning.

It's almost light already.

Well, good night.

Call me up sometime!

Who is it?

Howard.

Just a minute.

Hello.

I'm so sleepy. What time is it?

It's not even nine yet.

Won't you come in?

I must look awful!

The place is such a mess.

Haven't you gone to bed yet?

No.

You must be very tired.

Will you sit down?

- Want some coffee?

- No.

Just a drink.

Well...

We had a grand time last night.

Didn't we?

- Yeah.

I bet I know why you

couldn't sleep.

You've been drinking too much.

Don't you think you should
