RESUME SIDNEY:
Sally is watching him, unhappy on his behalf.
SIDNEY:
(to phone)
Now, wait a minute, Joe. When I
saw J.J. last night he said...
But Robard has cut off. Sidney hangs up. A silence. Sally
tries to be comforting.
SALLY:
I wish I could help in some way,
Sidney.
SIDNEY:
(aggressively)
Help me with two minutes of silence!
Sally, hurt, says nothing. Presently, he adds:
SIDNEY:
Go home, Sally. It's late...
SALLY:
I hate to see you like this --
Sidney, with another mercurial change of manner, begins some
sarcastic clowning.
SIDNEY:
(horsing around)
Yes, but as a new subscriber you're
under no obligation to take more
than three books. And if you mail
the enclosed card within ten days --
SALLY:
(pleadingly)
Sidney, I know you by now. Don't
do a dance with me...
SIDNEY:
(still clowning)
You mean you don't want the extra
free gift of a colorful giant map
of the world???
SALLY:
(distressed)
Sidney, please, dear, if you feel
nervous...
Sidney is abruptly savage.
SIDNEY:
(with cruelty)
So what'll you do if I feel nervous?
You'll open your meaty, sympathetic
arms...?
SALLY:
(breaking down)
Sid...you got me so...I don't know
what...
She is crying. Sidney feels uncomfortable. Not too
generously, he relents:
SIDNEY:
You ought to be used to me by now.
SALLY:
(pathetically)
I'm used to you...
SIDNEY:
(with a touch of bitterness)
No. You think I'm a hero. I'm no
hero. I'm nice to people where it
pays me to be. I gotta do it too
much on the outside, so don't
expect me to kow-tow in my own
office. I'm in a bind right now
with Hunsecker so --
(grimly)
Every dog has his day!
(going)
Lock up and leave the key.
