Belle of the Nineties Page #8

I'll see you in the dressing room

in just a moment.

I think I found a fighter

who can beat the champ.

And I think I found the answer

to something else, too.

Now that Ruby Carter has

all those diamonds Claybourne gave her...

- she is very hard to handle.

- You're right, boss.

See you later.

That's great, and bet plenty on me,

you'll double your money.

- You only got two weeks to train.

- I'm in shape, I could fight him tomorrow.

You're not talking about money, are you?

If you're talking money, talk to me.

I'll settle that part with you later, Kirby.

I wanna have a talk with the Tiger.

All right.

I hope you appreciate what I'm doing for you.

I sure do, Mr. La Mont.

Maybe someday I'll be able to do

something for you.

I'm coming to that.

You know, Kid, it takes a lot of money

to stage a championship match.

Yeah, I know.

And I had plenty

when I signed the champ, but...

- well, women are my weakness.

- You, too?

To tell you the truth, Kid,

I sunk practically all I had on a woman.

That's bad.

She's got something on me,

you know how that is, she makes me pay.

That's worse.

And I have showered her

with diamonds and jewels galore.

But she's the type of woman

that can't play fair.

- That's tough, Mr. La Mont.

- Tough? Why, it's terrible.

If I could get some of the jewels back,

why, it would be a cinch to put on the fight.

- I was thinking if you would...

- [Knowingly] Oh.

- You want the title, don't you?

- Yeah. But she ain't got it.

There'll be nothing to it.

I'll have everything arranged.

- Who is she?

- You don't need to know that.

I'll be driving her along the lake tonight,

and all you have to do is...

This is quite the thing to do,

drive along the lake like this.

ACE:
You and I should make a habit of it.

RUBY:
One bad habit is good as another.

I didn't know you liked diamonds so well

or I'd have draped you with them.

RUBY:
Why didn't you?

ACE:
You haven't encouraged me very much.

ACE:
Besides I hesitated because...

RUBY:
The man that hesitates is last.

I haven't given up hopes yet.

RUBY:
I thought you took me out here

to talk business.

ACE:
On a night like this I prefer to talk...

RUBY:
But I'd told you...

TIGER:
Stick them up!

TIGER:
Give me the rocks.

ACE:
Now see here.

TIGER:
Shut up! Come on, hurry it up.

Give me them bracelets.

TIGER:
Come on, give me them. Hurry up.

And the thing off your neck, too.

Come on, don't stall me.

TIGER:
All right,

now get going and don't stop.

This is an outrage. No one can do a thing

like this to Ace La Mont and get away with it.

I'll get that fellow

if have to scour the country for him.

Say, it's funny he didn't take your ring.

Yes.
