Thank you.

A little thing like that

kind of breaks the monotony.

I'm sorry, we do not seat

unescorted ladies, miss.

I don't want to sit down.

I want to leave a message.

Yes. What is it?

Well, would you tell Mr Drouet,

Mr Charlie Drouet,

that I couldn't come?

That I can't meet him,

and I couldn't wait to tell him.

And if you'll give this back to him.

- What is it, Louis?

- I don't know.

- Who were you meeting?

- Mr Drouet, Charlie Drouet.

- Let's see if he's here.

- He isn't. I'm early.

Well, maybe he's early. He should be.

Shall we look?

Well, it would be better

if I could just leave this.

- Were you going to have dinner here?

- Yes, I was.

Well, why don't you wait?

- It's a very good restaurant.

- I know.

- It looks it.

- Carrie. Hello. You got here early.

- Good evening, Mr Hurstwood.

- Mr Drouet, good evening.

Say, you've got a good memory

for names.

I haven't been here in months.

Will you follow me?

Louis.

- A nice table for Mr Drouet.

- Thank you.

This way, please.

Try to be a sensible girl.

Stop worrying. Put the money away.

It's just a loan from a friend.

I'm not gonna give it another thought.

Buy yourself a little coat.

You need a coat, don't you?

There you are. Pay me back when you

get a job. Anything wrong with that?

Put that money away

before the waiter picks it up.

Look out.

Now, then, that's settled.

You've been awfully nice, Mr Drouet.

Why not? Everybody gets

a little help from somebody.

Some of the finest ladies

in Chicago are right here.

Where do you think they get everything

from? From their husbands. Or friends.

No.

The little one.

That's the first time you smiled.

Come on, let's enjoy this, will you?

- No, I didn't order any champagne.

- The compliments of Mr Hurstwood.

Well, thank you.

Thank you very much.

Now, isn't that nice?

There's another smile.

I wish you could see it.

Here, look in the mirror. Do it again.

There you are, right up there.

Those two windows. You see?

Now, why don't you come up

and take one look?

- I don't think I better.

- I'll have the cabby wait.

If you don't like it,

you can come right back.

I think I'll take a streetcar.

To your sister's?

You said they didn't want you.

You don't wanna go back to the farm?

You like Chicago.

You wanna stay here, don't you?

It's a nice little flat.

It'll be empty for ten days.

I'm going on the road.

I can just as easy catch the 11 o'clock

to Edison tonight.

If you like it, move in.

No board. Not a dime.

By the time I get back, you'll be fine.

Maybe you'll have a place of your own.

Here's the key.

Now you're making sense.

- Thank you for everything.

- It's nothing.

Now, you wait right here.

Theodore Dreiser

Theodore Herman Albert Dreiser (; August 27, 1871 – December 28, 1945) was an American novelist and journalist of the naturalist school. His novels often featured main characters who succeeded at their objectives despite a lack of a firm moral code, and literary situations that more closely resemble studies of nature than tales of choice and agency. Dreiser's best known novels include Sister Carrie (1900) and An American Tragedy (1925). more…
