Blood Money Page #2

Synopsis: Bill Bailey is a Los Angeles bail bondsman who lives in a world of complete, casual corruption, where all he has to do is pick up the phone to get the charges against a client dismissed. He falls in love with slumming socialite who bluntly and startlingly declares her sexual preferences with this immortal line: "If I could find a man who would be my master and give me a good thrashing, I'd follow him around like a dog on a leash."

Hello, father. I'll be delayed

for dinner. I've had an accident.

I don't want to

discuss it over the phone.

No, no.

I haven't been shopping.

Don't send a car.

I'll get a taxi.

Ask Miss Smith to come in here.

- Cigarette?

- Thank you.

May I...

drive you home, Miss Smith?

We can fix up

this red tape later.

I couldn't think of

troubling you Mr. Bailey.

No trouble at all, Miss Smith.

What kind of a car have you,

open or closed?

- Open.

- Oh, that's fine.

I'm starved.

Want to go to the Biltmore?

No, let's go to a drive-in place.

Order hamburgers.

OK.

- And remember, plenty of onion.

- Yes ma'am.

- Do you really like onions.

- Insane about them.

All my life I've wanted to meet

a girl who really liked onions.

So what?

I've come to see you

about Miss Jane Smith.

Accused of stealing

a beaded bag.

D'you know who Jane Smith is?

I know she was caught

shop lifting in this store.

Jane Smith isn't her real name.

Her father controls some of

the biggest concerns in America.

Why should she steal?

We lose tens of thousands of dollars

every year from amateur shoplifters.

People who steal for the thrill.

Now Jordon, I'm familiar with

the financial status of your store.

You can't afford to antagonize

people of prominence.

Speak to our insurance company.

- What firm?

- Merchant's Protective Association.

Get them on the phone.

Let me talk to Jim Lane.

Get me

The Merchant's Protective Association.

Mr. James Lane.

Hello, Jim.

This is Bill Bailey.

Listen Jim, I'm in

Harkweather's Department Store.

I want you to tell their manager that

you'll drop charges against Jane Smith.

Thanks.

Hello?

Very well, Mr. Lane.

Yes.

Alright Mr. Bailey,

No hard feelings.

Yeah, have a cigar.

A tuba down in Cuba

makes them for me.

Pagan.

Almost savage isn't it?

Tell me more of your experiences.

Since I've met you I'm

a little bit ashamed of my experiences.

Have you had

a lot of women in your life?

I'd rather not talk

about other women just now.

I'd rather you said

it was none of my business.

- Oh no you wouldn't

- Oh yes I would.

I want a man who's my master.

Not afraid of anyone in the world.

Who'd shoot

the first man that upset me.

You'd have been

crazy about Al Capone.

You think you're kidding?

Elaine, you need

a darn good spanking.

What I need is

someone to give me a good thrashing.

I'd follow him around

like a dog on a leash.

Let's change the subject. You know

that caviar is nothing but fish eggs.

Do you know that's the tentacles

of an octopus you're eating.

- Oh father...

- Excuse me.

- Yes dear?

- I want you to meet a friend of mine.

Mr. Bailey.

He's what's known

as a right guy.
